Part 1 of “The Cost of Doing Nothing” – Talk
Within 10 minutes, it was clear: we weren’t going to agree on much. The election. The media. January 6. His tone got sharp. Mine probably did too. At one point he said something I thought
Part 2 of “The Cost of Doing Nothing” – Show Up Locally
In many local elections, turnout is under 20%. Sometimes it's under 10%. That means a dozen people at a school board meeting can sway policy. One vote can decide who gets to redraw your district
Part 3 of “The Cost of Doing Nothing” – Vote in the Primaries
“The Extremes Win by Default” By the time you vote in November, the real choice has already been made — often by just 1 in 10 voters.
Part 4 of “The Cost of Doing Nothing” – Fund Local Journalism
But today, many of those newsrooms are gone. Shrinking ad revenue and the rise of free digital content gutted local papers. Hedge funds bought what was left, stripped them for parts, and left ghost publications
Part 5 of “The Cost of Doing Nothing” – Volunteer for a Cause, Not a Party
“Your Country Doesn’t Just Need Voters — It Needs Neighbors” Political engagement doesn’t stop at the ballot box — and it doesn’t always wear a campaign button.
If You Want to Fix It, You Have to Touch It
You don’t get to sit in silence while others vote, organize, or legislate — and then act shocked when the country veers hard left or right. If the future looks more like a police state
“Boring? Try Being a Moderate.”
But make no mistake: if it were Marxists or Leninists destroying us, I’d be saying the exact same thing. Sometimes you have to throw the punch across the line to be heard. That doesn’t mean
A Call for Violence—Is That Really What You Want?
When you see the uniformed enforcers, remind them: their oath is to the Constitution, not the President. Ask them: Is this what you want for your children’s future? Ask them: Do you want a fight?
About Here – How it started, and where it is going.
As time passed, I kept wondering: what happens if we impeach the Putz? And I’ll admit, I was hesitant to see the Vice President take over. Why? Because he doesn’t stand for America. He sold
About Sparky and Me
But here’s the sliver of hope—if both MAGA and Woke are finally seeing the same threat, even if from different angles? That might be the crack in the wall where a real alliance can form.
Balancing Green Ambitions with Real-World Energy Needs
Rather than vilifying fossil fuels entirely, we should demand smarter use. Cleaner-burning technologies, stricter emissions standards, and investments in carbon capture can reduce their impact while giving renewables time to scale. Likewise, green energy advocates
Electorial College or Popular Vote
Democrats overwhelmingly favor the popular vote. Republicans strongly prefer the Electoral College. Independents lean toward the popular vote but are more divided. Overall, most Americans favor switching to a popular vote system.
Elon’s New Party – MAGA rebranded?

Okay, He’s Been Impeached, Now What?

Millions of Americans who once cheered for the populist energy of Donald Trump are now staring at the price tag. Not just in dollars, but in dignity. In lost healthcare. In broken promises. In mounting
Part 2 – The Awakening of the Woke
I’m building a political cartoon arc that speaks to the people everyone else has forgotten — the voters who are done with performative politics and ready to rebuild, quietly and seriously.
Part 3 – Come Together
Through 3 six-panel series (and growing), I show the parallel awakenings of MAGA and Woke Americans — not to each other’s flaws, but to their shared betrayal. From there, they move toward reluctant cooperation.
Tell Me About the Forward Party
The party positions itself as "Not Left. Not Right. Forward," appealing to independents, moderates, and those disillusioned with the Republican and Democratic parties. It supports candidates across the political spectrum—Democrats, Republicans, and independents—who align with

I’m old, tired, and know that today’s political decisions won’t affect me much. But I care deeply about the world my children and grandchildren will inherit. What kind of future awaits them if we stay

What Now? When Everyone Knows, But No One Moves
Because if a man who cannot form a coherent sentence is handed the nuclear codes again, it won’t be because no one knew better. It will be because enough people decided it didn’t matter.
When Truth Is a Liability and Laughter a Crime
Donald Trump’s threat to sue The Wall Street Journal if it published an article linking him to Jeffrey Epstein isn’t just a blustering headline — it’s an attempt to preemptively kill reporting that may be
Why Billionaires go into Politics.
Wealth brings access. But for many billionaires, money alone isn't enough — they want influence, the ability to shape the rules of society, not just play by them. Politics gives them a say in taxation,

“Admitting I was fooled would mean admitting I was wrong — and I can’t do that.”
Even obvious lies, when repeated enough, start to feel true. This is known as the illusory truth effect. The more often we hear something — even if it's absurd — the more familiar and comfortable
A Constitutional Case for Impeachment
The U.S. Constitution sets the bar for impeachment at “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” That last phrase, intentionally broad, has historically been interpreted to include serious abuses of power or violations of

Do some elites or movements support depopulation — quietly or not?
RFK Jr.’s rhetoric around detoxing children, rejecting vaccines, and elevating “natural immunity” taps into those old, unscientific veins — and when implemented from a position of power, they do carry population-level consequences.

Epstein Files Are a “Hoax” = Trump is a “Hoax”
Trump has effectively shifted from stoking interest in the Epstein case to condemning it as a partisan hoax, admonishing his own supporters in the process. This shift highlights core tensions between his rhetoric and that
From FEMA to Alligators, What’s for Lunch
We used to have FEMA: a flawed but functional system that, at its best, tried to show up when Americans were hurting. Hurricanes, floods, fires — the goal was to help people rebuild, not watch
