The past couple of weeks have been quite a doozy. Dr. Seuss Enterprises decided they were going to stop printing six of their books, “And To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,” “If I Ran the Zoo,” “McElligot’s Pool,” “On Beyond Zebra!,” “Scrambled Eggs” and “The Cat’s Quizzer,” with the reason being these…

For the 46th Time..
Joseph R. Biden is officially the 46th President of the United States. What a refreshing thing to say! After the last 4-5 years of utter chaos, we finally have someone in the White House that’s calling for peace and unity. I saw my Facebook timeline filled with sentiments of joy (most of my conservative friends…
Sedition, Insurrection, and the Acceptance Thereof
Yesterday was one of the wildest days I’ve ever witnessed in American history. Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in Washington, D.C. to object to the election results. It is being reported that one protestor was shooting into the House chamber causing them to clear the floor and barricade the doors. The actions come after President…
So You Say You’re Seeking the Truth..
What up y’all? I’ve been slacking on the blogging tip. Not that I don’t still write (my musings are usually Facebook statuses). However, my guy Tony encouraged me to start writing in the blog again. I appreciate your encouragement, sir. More than you know. For those who are first time readers of A Fresh Voice,…
Leadership in the Midnight Hour: Where is President Trump?
If you’ve been paying even minimal attention to current events, then you know Americans are going awwwfff! George Floyd was slowly murdered by four (former) Minneapolis Police Department officers on May 25th, 2020. Bystanders recorded video of Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on a cuffed and detained George Floyd’s neck. This caused causing a blockage to…
I Just Want to Live
I have plenty of people on my timeline who talk spicy to me about Black Lives Matter or racism in general. Faking need for understanding or feigning desire of discussion. As of late, I haven’t really discussed race because I don’t feel like hearing the absolute foolishness the race discussion brings about. However, this event stirred…
President Trump and the Deceived Evangelical Base
If you don’t believe in Jesus, then you better start. Why do I say that? Aside from your soul’s salvation, truly look at the world around you; the American government in particular. For the last three years it’s been a complete circus. Trump’s campaign was a nightmare for those who believe in humanity and decency….
The First Time I Felt Proud to be American
For the first time in my life, I am really proud of my country because it feels like hope is making a comeback. Not just because Barack has done well, but I think people are hungry for change. Michelle Obama Michelle Obama spoke some truth right here, but she caught some serious blowback. How can…
Election Day Lessons
Midterms have come and gone. People showed up to vote in record numbers, and that’s awesome. That’s what we need to keep democracy going. I paid attention to election results last night as most did. My choice for Congress did not win. In fact, many of my choices did not win. When I was voting,…
If You Are My Brother
Yesterday was a great deal to take in. A fire destroyed a London apartment building. A shooting occurred at a UPS Store in San Fra. Republican Rep. Steve Scalise and several others were was wounded from gun fire during congressional baseball practice. Too. Much. Tragedy. How do we deal with it all? Social media (Facebook anyway) was largely quiet outside of major news…
100 Days War
President Trump has been in office for the first 100 days of his four-year term. Are we better off than when we started? No. Not yet anyway. I’m trying to give President Trump the benefit of the doubt. Not because I, in any way, agree with what he’s saying, but because the success of my…
Off Limits
This past weekend was political warfare in Facebook land. I wholeheartedly participated. Posts regarding the Women’s March dominated my newsfeed. Long think pieces for and against the protests (or protesting in general) explained how people felt. The same people echoed their usual sentiments. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer entered the press room and proceeded…
