I was a sophomore in high school in the mid eighties and dealing with a couple of upperclassmen who were bigger and stronger than I. For those of you who’ve read Late Bird a part of this story will sound familiar. This was sometimes a daily thing because I would […]
Jason Kraus For President – Representing our Freedom
An American for United States Senate
“The greatness of America isn’t found in our differences. It lives—within our truths. In our agreement with one another to pursue happiness: to engage life in its fullest capacity. America isn’t easy. She isn’t supposed to be. Easy belies weakness. America is hard, like the hands of a farmer or […]
Why is the Federal Government forcing us to save then punishing us when we do?
Last century the United States Federal Government enacted a “new” program or in other words…creeping Democracy. The program forced Americans to put money away for usage in their golden years. It’s pretty easy to see the motivation. The humans at the “top” didn’t think the humans at the “bottom” were […]
The Ignorance of Democratic Socialism, RINOS, and Donkeys
As in all entertaining stories we have heroes and foils. Currently the story of politics in America is stacked with overwhelming foils and few heroes. Many believe the Republican Party will eventually crumble. Although anything is possible it is the Democratic Party that is in real trouble. One Democratic Congressman […]
CNN, Clinton, and the Klan
Whether we refer to it as the eyeball test or Malcolm Gladwell’s theory covered in his book Blink (our brain gives us all the info we need in most situations in the blink of an eye) the message is the same. Listen to what your body tells you. Too many […]
They aren’t Blood
I’ve listened to Hillary Clinton call herself a hawk and John McCain’s answer to Iran given in song. “Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran”. Obama’s red line or Ric Santorum’s plan to “bomb them back to the seventh century”. It doesn’t matter the Party anymore. Politicians making threats others will […]
Love One Another
Eckhart Tolle once wrote about the process of “presence” or “being”. William Shakespeare spoke about this as well, long ago, in the ever famous line, “to be or not to be that is the question.” I believe the concept of “being” is the positive evolution of the animal known as […]
“Is Barack Obama a muslim?”
Come on already. It’s an easy question to answer. “Is Barack Obama a muslim?” When you watch Donald Trump and Ben Carson and the muslim issue is brought up it is very clear by their body language where they stand. They believe Obama is a muslim. They aren’t alone. My […]
NO PARTY PREFERENCE (NPP)
Let’s understand how this really works shall we. The Republican Party doesn’t answer to you, me, or the United States Constitution. They answer to their donors. Reince Priebus and his cohorts only exist because they continue to receive money from, presumably, Americans. Let’s fast forward and for sake of this […]
Step into the fray
Most humans will inherently do the right thing…or at a minimum won’t do the wrong thing. This isn’t a Pollyannic view or a glass is half full mentality. It’s how most of us are. Otherwise nothing would ever be accomplished. Most crime (aside from drug usage) happens in short bursts. […]
