I think its important that you have a chance to know a little bit about me since I will be expressing MY opinion on a number of issues.

I grew up in a small town in California.

I graduated from the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD with a degree in Mathematics.

Further education includes a Masters in Management from Purdue and an MBA in international finance from ESC, Rouen, France.

My political leanings are typically left although I can be conservative on some issues.

I think there is nothing that we, as a people, cannot accomplish if we work together.

I pay taxes. I’m against government waste. I think education should be free. I think we should take care of those amongst us that are less fortunate. You are not my enemy simply because we disagree or look different from each other. Healthcare is important; which bathroom you use does not interest me. Community is important. International relations are important. The economy is important. Science is important.

Who you love is up to you. Your body is yours, not the property of whatever political party is currently in charge. Religion is important to me because of the communities it creates. Religion is distasteful to me because of the hypocrisy that comes with it at nearly every level.

I don’t care about your political beliefs other than I want to hear them and would be happy to discuss them.

Diversity makes us all better, not weaker.

I like having my mind changed.

I have no problem with something being “My Fault.” I can fix things that are my fault. It’s the things outside of my control that frustrate me.

My problems with politics are the dishonesty and the gullability.

I am open to the idea that I may be on the wrong side of the political fence because I am unknowingly the gullible one.

My views, unless otherwise stated, are just opinions. For example, I may say “Trump does not understand how anything works.” This is how I feel although he probably understands things like not putting his hand on a hot oven.

My true view of Trump is that he is a bully. All bullies are cowards. He is simple to motivate and anticipate because he only responds to praise and acts in ways that further his self-interests. He is not complex. He does not play four-dimensional chess. He has been found guilty of sex crimes, insurance fraud, and tax fraud and he has filed for bankruptcy at least 6 times. He is possibly the worst human being I have ever heard. And he is in charge of our country.

He must be stopped.

My intent with this website is multi-purpose:

1. I can no longer sit at my dinning table and think “Trump is ruining our country,” and not do something about it.
2. I need an outlet for my frustration
3. I want to hear from like minded people; even those that don’t agree with me on any particular issue.
4. I want to hear from those that disagree with me. Change my mind. Bring your facts and leave the “No you shut up” comments elsewhere.
5. This last one is important…It is March 20th, 2025. If the United States government continues down the very, very steep slope of decline that it has been on since Trump took over, it will soon be illegal for me to express anti-government views without fear of arrest. When I get arrested, I want people to know about it. I want them to know why. I want them to get off their butts and shout, “This will not stand!” I don’t want to be a hero but I’m prepared to be the catalyst.
