During his town hall on CNN last night Biden completely shut down the idea that he will push to cancel up to 50k in student loan debt.

Twitter Suspends Multiple Popular Antifa Accounts
When Twitter banned Donald Trump and numerous other conservative twitter accounts I immediately came out against the move and this is exactly why. Censorship is a dangerous thing to start engaging in and once the precedent is set no one is safe, we are all at the mercy of whatever powerful outlet is in control.Continue reading “Twitter Suspends Multiple Popular Antifa Accounts”
Democrats Falling Flat on Their Faces with Stimulus Check Delay
Before the Georgia run off races the Democrats made one thing very clear, win us control of the Senate and we will make sure to get you a round of 2k stimulus checks. That promise is the main reason, in my opinion, why Ossoff and Warnock were both able to win their respective races.

We Can’t Allow MLK’s History to be White Washed
In the wake of MLK day, I have been reflecting on how much politicians and the media have watered down his legacy. MLK is often used by Republican and moderate Democrats to try and show they understand the issue black Americans face and to show they aren’t racist when in reality these people would haveContinue reading “We Can’t Allow MLK’s History to be White Washed”
CBS Poll Shows Americans Fear Each Other More Than Anything
CBS released a new set of polls (link) that really caught my eye and not in a good way, there is some disheartening information in these polls. Most notably that more than any other threat a majority of Americans polled say they fear their fellow citizens more than anything else. I know the country wasContinue reading “CBS Poll Shows Americans Fear Each Other More Than Anything”
It Is Way Past Due for America to Embrace a Living Wage
A debate that has been raging on for a decade now has recently jumped backed into the mainstream conversation thanks to President Biden including a $15/hour minimum wage in his COVID relief package (link). That made me happy to hear but it has brought conservatives back out raging against why we simply cannot do that.Continue reading “It Is Way Past Due for America to Embrace a Living Wage”
