activism
Grassroots campaigns have proven instrumental in bringing about political, social or environmental change; you've got to start somewhere-might as well start here.
Tater Tots and Transgender Penguins:
I have my first cup of coffee for the day in hand, and my laptop on the coffee-table in front of me, opened to my favorite government tracking site: https://www.govtrack.us/. I’m settled into my favorite spot on the couch, with Kai my 2-year old Golden Retriever and trusty research partner next to me, just a couple of political junkies, who are cruising the internet, and looking for a political good-time. Ok... I'm the political-wonk... Kai's just there for the treats and belly-rubs... and then we find what we're looking for.

US Foreign Policy About Iran
Regime change, change control—these are all the issues involved. What do you actually want? Politically, what is your real endgame? The United States has never really cared about what will happen to the people of Afghanistan. You saw it just four or five years ago—how much concern did the U.S. show about the people it was leaving behind and what the Taliban might do to them?

Analysis Of US-ISR- IRAN WAR
The situation is ongoing, and if I were to summarize the details—because data is coming very late—it's totally difficult to confirm the casualties and how much damage has been done so far. Many reporters, particularly those on Al Jazeera, are stating that footage from both Hezbollah and Israel is not being released. Similarly, in the UAE, there is an effort to prevent influencers and various reporters from sharing information. People are afraid because their business capital is at risk. Additionally, two important things that I discussed in my last blog about the "magazine depth problem" are now being acknowledged by Western media. They also agree that this war won't last for many days and will have to rely on limited strikes. Trump, however, has also stated that there is no end game for this operation, Epic Fury.

The $35 Sentence: How Predatory Hospice Schemes Silence Seniors By Vicki Lawana Trusselli For years, I worked in the film and music industries in LA and Austin—I know a script when I see one. But the script being handed to seniors in Riverside and other cities today is not just fiction; it is federal fraud.

Doing the Wash
Congress. An entity of our government that is supposed to be working for us, is just a money laundering criminal endeavor. If you aren't paying attention to what our government does, then you are part of the problem.Money laundering is a crime, and we are funding it.

Parallel Protests. Top Story - March 2026.
I haven't written for quite some time, but I have A LOT of thoughts about yesterday's protest rally against our government's involvement and complicity in America's war on Iran, on the harbourside of my home city Bristol, and I need to put them somewhere. My gorgeous girlfriend is always a loving and listening ear and sharing it all with her will always be a healthy and happy way of processing the mental and emotional weight, but getting it straight in my brain to share means writing it all down in straight lines, so, here we are and thanks for being here.
