Sometimes I ponder the possibilities of human greatness and imagine humanity with enlightened minds and selflessness, devoid of ego. A human race that lived by the Golden Rule and one in which you treat others the way you want to be treated. A race that transcends the boundaries of physical skin color and aspires to […]
On May 7th, 2019, going to Mahalia Jackson Theatre for The Performing Arts (for the Green New Deal gathering and rally) was a very nice 2-block walk down a side street, and into the St. Philip Street sidewalk entrance into Armstrong Park around 6 p.m. Two hours later, that side entrance, like all the other […]
“Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” ― Mark Twain The entirety of the Trump era is despised by 55% of Americans – deeply, and it’s only getting worse. But I suggest that we may be looking at this wrong. Trump’s dark side has been slowly […]

But it happened to be something that the prognosticators and soothsayers that cover the National Football League […]

I’m a devout Christian who was raised in the Full Gospel denomination with Pentecostal tradition. I understand quite well how our faith and beliefs can influence our world view, political ideology, and our vote. Our end goal is to get into heaven on the basis of our life choices here on Earth.
