A Theory of Conspiracy
Here’s the thing, I know I sound whiny. I don’t care. Maybe I’m whiny, but I’m confident in what I’m about to say. Why? Well, I’ve existed for fifty-two years and I have some experience at living and in what I’m about to write.
The title of this article, A Theory of Conspiracy, came to me as I was trying to go to sleep tonight with a strained muscle in my back. I was unable to get settled and every time I turned over, normally I do so about five times before I fall asleep, it would twinge in pain and in between the rolls I was thinking about what it meant and why I had that thought.
When I was in school I didn’t fit in. I was wild and rambunctious and drove my teachers to the point that my first-grade teacher tied me to my desk many times to keep me in place. So many people would have said, and did, that it was my mother’s fault for not raising me right.

In the NY Times interview when commenting on Jeff Sessions’ decision to recuse himself, Trump once again showed his childish nature and misunderstanding of “real” life, when he complained of the situation of Session’ recusal as “unfair” to him, Donald J.

Democratic Social Progressive
I’m a Progressive. I believe in Democracy. I believe we’re authorized to make this country into a nation that puts people before wealth, and wealth into action to create a just and fair life for all Americans. Am I a Socialist? That depends on what you think a Socialist is. My Socialism is democratic as we have now in the U.S., the government, which is really you and me, voting for people to protect and defend our civil liberties, guarantee and promote our general welfare and ensure to defend out nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.Continue Reading
