As that old sage Mark Twain once quipped, “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” And in the age of “Mr. Donald,” this rings truer than ever, especially for the “High Priests of Prediction” – our political pollsters. Continue reading

Trump’s Dark Triad, A Work In Progress
Featured
Ever found yourself utterly perplexed by the actions of certain leaders? The decisions that seem to defy logic, the pronouncements that border on the surreal? I, for one, have spent countless hours pondering the motivations behind those who wield power. Today, we’re not offering definitive answers, but rather a lens through which to view a particularly compelling case: Donald Trump’s personality, as seen through the prism of the “Dark Triad.”
Belva Davis, Winner of 8 Journalist Emmy Awards
Featured
Belva Davis (October 13, 1932 – September 24, 2025)
Ever heard of Belva Davis? She wasn’t just any reporter. She was the first Black woman on TV news out West, a total trailblazer! Imagine the doors she had to kick down. But one of her biggest gigs? Covering the explosive Huey Newton trials. This wasn’t just a legal case; it was a snapshot of a nation boiling over with racial tension, a pressure cooker about to burst. Belva Davis didn’t just report on it; she navigated it, a Black woman in a white-dominated media landscape, during a time of intense racial strife. Continue reading
Public Health vs. Personal Freedom
Featured
Remember the COVID-19 mask debates? Or how about arguments over vaccine mandates? Turns out, humanity has been having these same fights for centuries! One could almost say millennia, if we consider the ancient world’s attempts to contain leprosy or other contagions through isolation and social ostracization. This isn’t a new phenomenon; it’s an enduring clash between what’s best for everyone (public health) and what individuals want for themselves (personal liberty). It’s a tension as old as society itself, a dance between the collective and the individual that shapes our laws, our ethics, and, ultimately, our very survival. Continue reading
X Feeds Matter To The Military
Featured
It seems almost absurd at first glance. The social media platform where we share memes, argue about sports, and doomscroll through the latest headlines – a strategic target in modern warfare? Yet, military strategists, cybersecurity experts, and intelligence professionals agree: digital platforms like X have become critical domains of engagement, as crucial as land, air, sea, and even space. We’ve entered an era where cyber warfare aims to disrupt, damage, or infiltrate a nation’s computer systems to achieve strategic objectives, a reality that transcends geographical boundaries and can cripple essential infrastructure instantaneously, without the need for traditional boots on the ground.

Gil Scott-Heron’s Prophecy and the American Moment
Featured
Decades after his most potent works were written, the words of Gil Scott-Heron feel less like historical artifacts and more like dispatches from a future he had already foreseen. The “Winter in America” he sang about in 1974—a season of political disillusionment, racial tension, and national malaise—has returned with a vengeance, manifesting in the polarized and profoundly disquieting landscape of the present day. To read his poetry and listen to his music in 2025 is to confront a sobering reality: the struggles he chronicled have not been overcome, but rather have morphed and intensified, finding a chilling new echo in the political climate of the second Trump presidency. Continue reading
Purdy, Curry, and the Comeback

Sports kinetics is the study of how forces and motion affect the human body during athletic activity. For a quarterback, every ounce of power in a throw originates from the ground, traveling up the kinetic chain. A “turf toe” injury—a sprain of the big toe joint—is a seemingly small issue that can catastrophically disrupt this chain, crippling a player’s ability to push off and deliver a pass. It’s a vivid example of how a minor physical flaw can create a major athletic crisis. Continue reading
