This week the big news was the Colorado Supreme Court blocking the leading Republican candidate from being on the ballot. True to character, whenever the candidate doesn’t get what he wants he calls everyone else evil. Just like he did along with his MAGA conspirators on January 6th, 2021. Part of being an adult is understanding we don’t always get what we want, especially in politics. That is why we have a three-party system despite what the power-hungry MAGA... Read more

This week saw a shakeup in Congress as the former House Speaker announced he would leave Congress at the end of this year. He stated he wanted to serve the country in a new capacity. His decision shows that we are willing to take action for what we believe in, even if it means making a sacrifice. Ironically, Congress serves Americans. But, over the last half-decade, it has only become more focused on having power and serving its own members’... Read more
You can tell it is election season because politicians are making all kinds of promises if the people choose to elect them, then again that is how politics work after all. Constituents choose to vote for those whose beliefs align with theirs.

This week was historic, for the first time in over 20 years a congressman was expelled from Congress because of his bad behavior. He is just one of many conservatives who are notorious for their questionable actions.
