Remote Work

Does anyone else care less about Ted Cruz heading off to Cancun during the Texas snowpocalypse? I'm in Texas and I couldn't care any less. I work from home all the time. Most people are working remote these days due to Covid security theater. I'm sure he would have been checking his email while he was on the beach. If I had the opportunity to go to Cancun during a work week, my company wouldn't even know about it and I would still get my work done. Why can't he? Is there some reason he had to be here suffering with the rest of us?

Either way, I hope the same people that had a problem with that are at least consistent enough to hold other politicians to the same standard now. The only thing I hate more than carnies are hypocrites.

Jumping to Conclusions: The Dangers of Assuming Racism Before All the Facts are Known

In today's digital age, social media has provided a platform for people to voice their opinions and reactions to news stories and events almost instantly. Unfortunately, this has also created a culture where people jump to conclusions and make assumptions without having all the facts. This is particularly true when it comes to issues of race, where allegations of racism can quickly spread on social media and cause public outrage before all the details have been established.

The recent incident involving an 85-year-old man shooting a young black man who was allegedly trying to break into his home is a perfect example of this phenomenon. Before any information had been released about the incident, people on Twitter were actively doxing the alleged perpetrator, assuming that he was a racist who had shot the young man because of his race. However, as more details have emerged, it has become clear that the situation is much more complex than initially assumed.

It is possible that the ...

Gun Control?

The issue of gun control in the United States is a complex and controversial topic, with advocates on both sides of the issue. While some believe that individuals have the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment, others argue that the easy availability of guns contributes to the country's high rate of gun violence. Regardless of where one stands on the issue, it is clear that there is a need to get guns off the streets or at least out of the hands of people who should not have them.

The United States has one of the highest rates of gun violence in the world. According to the Gun Violence Archive, there were over 43,000 incidents of gun violence in the United States in 2021, resulting in over 23,000 deaths and over 42,000 injuries. This level of gun violence is unacceptable and something needs to be done to address it.

One approach to addressing gun violence is to enact stronger gun control laws. This could include universal background checks, waiting periods, and restrictions on the sale...

Trump's Narcissism Hinders Allyship and Progress for Republicans

Donald Trump's narcissism is well-known and widely documented. He has a deep need for attention and validation, and he often puts his own interests above those of others. This has become particularly evident in his relationship with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who could be a valuable ally for Trump.

DeSantis has been a strong supporter of Trump and his policies, and he is seen by many as a rising star in the Republican Party. He has also been praised for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida, which has earned him a great deal of respect and admiration.

However, despite DeSantis's potential as an ally, Trump seems unable to let anyone else share the spotlight. He frequently criticizes DeSantis and other Republican leaders, even when they are working to advance his own agenda.

This kind of behavior is characteristic of narcissistic personality disorder, which is a mental condition that affects a person's ability to relate to others. Narcissists often have a grandiose sense of ...
