What would you do to save $60? Would you drive your car less? Would you change the temperature setting on your thermostat? Would you choose NOT to do something that you like to do? Would you change your bank? Sixty dollars on a single purchase is a pretty big deal, right? That’s equal to the [...]
The problem with writing blog posts is in limiting myself to one topic at a time when there are many things going on. Well, today, I’m not doing that. Instead, I feel like talking about a few different things, so here we go! DÉJÀ VU ALL OVER AGAIN So the House & Senate are once [...]
RACISM is alive and well in the United States. For the record, I really like Morgan Freeman as an actor. I loved him in “Driving Miss Daisy” and “The Shawshank Redemption,” both of which would have fallen apart without his acting skills.

He even urged “every American who agrees to lift your voice and tell the people who are gathered here tonight that you want action now. Tell Washington [...]
It seems like everyone becomes a little more “Patriotic” on September 11th trying to outdo one another with “We will Never Forget” and posting flags on their Facebook Profiles.
