Hey Marines, What Has Happened to Semper Fidelis?

  My wife saw this article and decided to share it with me because she knows just how the actions of many claiming the title of U.S. Marine has been making some erroneously bad choices and doing untold damage to the universally wide image to the title MARINE. The title was “Three men — including ex-Marines — sentenced for involvement in plot to destroy power grid” written by MAKIYA SEMINERA for the Associated Press on July 26, 2024, it reported that “three men have been sentenced in federal court for their involvement in a plan to strike a power grid in the northwestern United States. Three men with connections to white supremacist groups were sentenced Thursday in federal court after plotting to destroy a power grid in the northwestern United States, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Paul James Kryscuk, 38; Liam Collins, 25; and Justin Wade Hermanson, 25, were all sentenced for their yearslong involvement in a scheme to strike the power grid as part of a larger, violent e

A Tree shall be Known by the Fruit that it Bears

  I find it quite humorous when I hear people claiming to be one thing or another.   Claiming to be a republican, a Democrat, or an Independent but the thing that seriously bothers me when people claim the title of Christian and yet act like a total hypocrite. Hypocrisy is defined as “the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense” and if we are to be honest with ourselves and those around us, not one person can ever claim to not have claimed to be one thing while their actions depict something else.   I don’t think that any one mortal can ever claim that they have not fallen into this trip at least one time or another in their lives.   Because we are human, and accidents happen, it is okay to admit that we have faults and work to fix them instead of covering them up but of course many of us will go to our earthly graves pretending that this has not or currently happened to them. Hence the title of this article.

Survival of the Fittest; Dispelling the Myth

  We all have heard this term batted around like it was something to behold and a true compass by which to live and thrive. Some have even used it as an excuse to justify their dominance and their oppression of others, but let’s be real and ask ourselves this question. Could those who claim to have mastered this “natural selection” thing should be always seen as the ruling class and thereby granted all of the privileges that comes with the title? I ask you to consider this question because if your agree with it, then my only argument is, would the current class of privileged individuals retain that title if they had to endure the true trails of those that they wish to reign supreme over and/or suppress. Consider the following.   Survival of the fittest is “also known as “natural selection,” a simple statement of the fact that in dangerous circumstances, only those individuals most adapted to their environment survive—and the world, with its limited food supply, fearsome predators

A Truer Sense of who you Really Are

  At conception, the first thing that forms are part of the brain, this portion has only one cognitive component which is called the Mix match negative (MMN).   This component is tasked with telling the fetus when it is time to form the different parts of the body and recording all events and reactions.   This recording captures everything from the way things happened to how you felt about them, this is the start of all your memories and beginning stages of creation of your behavior. From infancy to the age of eleven (11), the MMN continues to capture your memories and reactions. This is defined by all your experiences and all that you witness.   You learn by watching those closest to you and the examples that they set to figure out how you should react or handle those same situations.   Your only sense of right or wrong is the justification that if those closest to you are doing it, then it must be okay and right. From ages twelve (12) to approximately twenty-five (25), you test w

America Ideal Opportunity for Advancement Thanks to Donald Trump

  For those who have heard but refuse to believe the saying that “everything happens for a reason”, history provides us with the blueprint to advance and failing to take advantage of this opportunity leaves us unprepared and woefully ignorant of how bad things can get. Today, we stand with clear knowledge that the real distance between a democracy and an autocracy is a razor’s edge.   We know this because the first term as president by Donald Trump, enabled by those around him such as David Pecker who made up stories against his political rivals while finding and killing stories about Trump.   A Republican party that did not drop him like a sack of potatoes after the Excess Hollywood tape came out and instead choose to continue to push the narrative that they knew was a lie about him being an honest and decent person.   Mitch McConnell who was compensated to finally take out Roe vs Wade by blocking President Obama from appointing Supreme Court Judges as well as a whole host of federa

The Importance of Traumas

  There are two avenues of approach on how and why traumas that occur in our lives are not only necessary but very important to the outcome of what many seek.   You can accept the spiritual one or the pragmatic one but if you are truly daring, you can accept that both are true because one does not exist alone and needs the other to be complete.   Here let me try to explain. From the stage of infancy to the age of eleven (11), is the time span where parents have to educate their children, instill proper manners and behaviors, and lay out options for their children in as many situations as they can think of so that if that situation happens, our children will react to it without thinking and avoid that Freeze, flight, or fight mode we enter when faced with something that we have never encountered before. At the age of twelve (12) to twenty-five (25) is our exploration stage and here we are trying out the skills taught by our parents, combined with those from society, and the examples

The Problem with Trying to Erase History

  Throughout the history of this nation, or any nation, there will be things that leaves us with a sense of pride and things that we would rather choose to hide but history itself teaches us that if becoming a more perfect union is what we truly desire, trying to hide or erase our bad actions of history is not and never will be the proper way to go. Ripping down Confederate statutes, changing the names of military bases which carried some of these general’s name, burning books or banning them, and of course rewriting history to suit a particular cause or belief are these ways of condemning the nation and all nations to eventually and constantly repeat these bad acts. The push to erase our history does not come from those seeking to make our world a more inviting and welcoming place, it’s sought by the kings, queens, and dictators who have been allowed to act as their ideas, beliefs, and desires are the only ones that matter. Laws created during a time where few ruled over the many wi
