Democrats Expelled

The Yacht Clubs are playing games again. A couple weeks ago, an individual went into a christian school and shot 3 students and 3 adults, and we are back into the assault rifle legislation conversation again. And there has been a unique twist to the game of keeping this conversation in the news this time around.

Moore's Law

I've been learning about advances in computing power lately. And Moore's Law states that the number of transistors that can fit in an intergrated circuit will double every two years. From where we started with original computing to where we are today, we have defintely advanced.

Don't Feed the Radicals

Donald Trump is going to be arrested... still.. any day now...
Constant news of this has been going on and it's just a fire ignited to keep people in the spot light.  The Ultra Woke and the Ultra Maga are keeping us at odds, and we need to remember that we all need to sit down at the table and know that we're not all extremists on one side or the other.
