Why Evangelicals Have No Relevant Message
On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of same-sex marriage in the landmark case: Obergefell v. Hodges. Same-sex couples and their supporters across the country celebrated what they considered to be a humane and just progression of domestic policy. However, a significant number of Americans protested the verdict and viewed it as an attack on accepted morality and even a suppression of religious liberty. Enter Kim Davis.

Dear Donald, Your Presidency is Reminiscent to "The Handmaid’s Tale"...and That's Bad
Dear Donald, I was never interested in what you had to say when you were campaigning for the presidency. Until this year, I never considered myself a person who was interested in politics. I had causes that I believed in, and I had opinions about those in office, but I never really paid too much attention...until now.

Unbelievable Worst Case Scenarios for President Trump
In American history, we haven’t seen a president like Donald Trump. He is an arrogant, bombastic, and even a buffoon, if you will, type of president. Trump is on pace to be the 3rd US president to get impeached by his own political party. In this article, I will go over the "what-if" scenarios that could occur out of Trump's mysterious actions. As the man himself once said, "What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate”. With each new twist of fate in his presidency, we are experiencing many negative reactions. For example...

Is Donald Trump A Good President?
Is Donald Trump really a good president? So, before I start, let me make it clear that I am not registered to vote, so I really have nothing to complain about. The issue is more a moral one than me wanting to bitch and complain about who our president is, because I believe they all lie. I know that's part of the game, and may the best liar win, but I think this goes deeper than that.

The Deadliest Tweet
Forget about "the Russian thing" for just a moment. Although the subject matter here is derived from the cloud that revolves around the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, there is now even bigger cause of concern due to the President's reaction to circumstances he alone is responsible for.

What Is the Alt-Right?
Every other news headline involving President Trump's election has involved murmurs of the alt-right movement. But, on the whole, most people don't seem to fully understand what is the alt-right movement, what they want, or even where they came from. Have you been one of the many wondering "What is the alt-right? You're not alone.

White Women and Our Imprints
As we strive to bring balance to our history and present situation, it seems some people are having strong reactions. I have been noticing a huge backlash towards feminism, predominantly from men who identify as white, but also from white women.

Why We Should Wait For The "I" Word
It's an interesting time in our country's history. The partisan politics of the Obama years are slowly slipping away, with a new focus on the two parties finally coming together for the good of the country. Except for in one very volatile issue: Impeachment. Some Republicans are calling for Trump to be tried, convicted, and removed from office. Meanwhile Democrats are a little less willing to throw around the "I" word.

A Day at the Races
On a trip to New Orleans recently, I forayed into the Fair Ground Race Track to visit a past life of mine, a time when I made my living as a Jockey’s agent — a time when I lived off adrenaline and fast horses, but now it was just a slow dance of memories.

Is Trump a Cultural-Relativist? What He Inadvertently Revealed During His Speech to Saudi-Arabia
So far, Trump’s Presidency has been “eventful” to put it lightly. Between the avalanche of news and high level of controversy, much of the country has been divided into the “never-Trumpers” and the “Trump can do no wrong” camps. One of many negative side-effects of this emotionally charged cultural divide had been the near eradication of unbiased coverage of this Presidency and his policies. This has resulted in a lack of in-depth analysis of many important events. One of the most significant instances of this has been the coverage of Trump’s speech in Saudi Arabia. It appears that bias has blinded most analysts to some major revelations into Trump’s policy for the Middle-East and his ideology in general.
