Journalist, writer, media developer.

Always opinionated, and particularly so during these interregnums.

As a business owner, it has been suggested my vocal activism may compromise my entrepreneurial endeavors, or as one guy told me: I am setting my professionalism to the side to tell a specific group of voters to "fuck off".

I know the loss of liberty would mean the loss of a business, anyway, so I will get as noisy as need be to wake up an electorate that apparenly decided the 2024 national election was undeserving of their attention.

When it comes to our republic, the United States of America, I demand nothing less of my president than to have never staged or incited an attempted coup. Our current president does not qualify.

Our current president, number forty-seven, is a traitor, in my opinion. He and his supporters must be held to account, regardless of cost. The fates of our nation, its economy, civil liberties and the judiciary, our long-standing and crucial alliances and position in the world, are all in grave jeopardy.

Silence is not an option.

Oh! Those Memes And Missed Messages!

Contributions to the digital cosmos of social memes

For me, the creation of a meme expresses a viewpoint or thought, sans the interference of prefabricated insights. Every effort is made to maintain a modicum of cultural relevance, but there is a nuance to my writing, layouts and graphic mash-ups that is often lost on a significant percentage of the populace.

In 2016, after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell deprived the electorate of the last year of President Obama's term, by literally refusing to bring even a Supreme Court nomination to the floor, it demonstrated the depth to which Republicans would sink in order to achieve power: They would openly defy the Constitution with parliamentary tricks. The adjacent meme was born.

Yoda, and Mos Eisley vs. Washington meme

This meme borrows from Obi Wan Kenobi's line in the 1977 Star Wars motion picture, in which Alec Guinness' character peers down from a cliff, gazing upon a dusty settlement below, in which he tells Luke Skywalker, "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious!"
