You’re probably thinking: why do you care this much about these arson attacks? Why keep talking about it? Why keep coming back to it? Alright. I’ll get a little personal—not too personal, just enough to explain where I’m coming from. I’ve worked a few jobs at this point in my life. I’m not going toContinue reading “Why I Care So Much About the Arson Attacks”

The Ridiculous, Deranged Argument Against “My Body, My Choice”
I’m honestly just shocked by the audacity of the argument presented by Irami Osei-Frimpong in his clip, “My Body; My Choice is a Bad Argument.” It’s not only an insult to women, but it’s a deeply ignorant and, frankly, unhinged take on bodily autonomy. This guy goes as far as to compare the decision toContinue reading “The Ridiculous, Deranged Argument Against “My Body, My Choice””
The $1 Mortgage: A Wild Idea That Might Actually Make Sense
Okay, so let’s talk about my so-called “$1 mortgage” idea. Yeah, it started as a joke — a tongue-in-cheek response to Trump’s ridiculous 50-year mortgage proposal. But the more I thought about it, the more it started to sound… kind of brilliant. Think about it: what if housing really was that cheap? What if insteadContinue reading “The $1 Mortgage: A Wild Idea That Might Actually Make Sense”
Trump’s 50-Year Mortgage Idea Is Basically Just Renting Forever
So, Trump recently floated this idea of a 50-year mortgage — and honestly, it’s one of the most absurd, dystopian financial ideas imaginable. Let’s break this down, because it’s not just bad economics — it’s bad for everyday people, bad for homeowners, and good only for the banks and real estate speculators who want toContinue reading “Trump’s 50-Year Mortgage Idea Is Basically Just Renting Forever”
Furloughed and Forced to Work: Why Unpaid Federal Workers Are Facing Modern-Day Slavery
Right now, as we speak, thousands of federal workers are being asked to go to work every day without pay. They are showing up, doing the same work they were hired and trained to do, fulfilling the duties that keep the country running, all while being told they will not be compensated for their labor.Continue reading “Furloughed and Forced to Work: Why Unpaid Federal Workers Are Facing Modern-Day Slavery”
How Socialism and Communism Are Pretty Much the Same Thing—At Least in How Most Americans See It
There’s a lot of talk about how socialism and communism are “different.” You’ll hear academics, economists, and ideologues split hairs over the technicalities. They’ll go on about Marxist theory, about how socialism is the step before communism, about how communism is stateless and classless while socialism still retains some state structure. And, sure, technically, they’reContinue reading “How Socialism and Communism Are Pretty Much the Same Thing—At Least in How Most Americans See It”

An Even Crazier Take: A Leftist Can Be a Landlord
Now here’s where it gets even crazier — and I know some folks are gonna lose it over this. I actually think it’s possible for a leftist to be a landlord. Yeah, I said it. Like, look — if someone owns a small property, maybe they’ve got a spare room, and they decide to rentContinue reading “An Even Crazier Take: A Leftist Can Be a Landlord”
A Leftist Defense of Landlords (Sort Of)
Okay, so here’s something that’s gonna sound like a hot take. Maybe even a really hot take. A lot of folks — especially on the left — think landlords are evil, greedy, parasitic, lazy, and all the rest. You’ve heard it before: “Landlords don’t work, they just sit around collecting rent!” But here’s the thing.Continue reading “A Leftist Defense of Landlords (Sort Of)”
The “No Kings” Protests Miss the Point: Trump Isn’t a King — He’s an Oligarch
Let’s be real. These so-called “No Kings” protests are missing the mark entirely. They’re loud, they’re passionate, and they’re full of energy — but they’re also fundamentally inaccurate. Trump and his administration aren’t kings. They’re oligarchs. And that difference matters. It’s not just a semantic quibble; it’s about political precision, and the failure to recognizeContinue reading “The “No Kings” Protests Miss the Point: Trump Isn’t a King — He’s an Oligarch”
