If you’ve been in a shopping district in any city in America recently, you’ve probably seen signs displaying some form of the “Shop Local” message. The message is certainly not new, but it’s taken on new importance.

Tax season has just ended.

Despite widespread support for public assistance programsContinue reading “States are Hoarding Welfare from the Needy” - ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill Exemplifies Hostile, Ineffective Political Arena
There’s no hiding the fact that the current state of American politics is rife with hostility – divided along partisan lines, propelled by misguided, misinformed activism and an onslaught of disillusioned complacency. As our Nation further divides into ‘red states and blue states,’ our public policy and civil discourse suffer. Though, what we have allContinue reading “‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill Exemplifies Hostile, Ineffective Political Arena” - The State of Local Businesses in America: An Underdog StoryIf you’ve been in a shopping district in any city in America recently, you’ve probably seen signs displaying some form of the “Shop Local” message.

- Voting Rights Are a Major Issue in Kentucky
The right to vote is currently under attack from all angles.

There is a strong national effort to strip BlackContinue reading “Voting Rights Are a Major Issue in Kentucky” - In the Wake of Kentucky’s Tornadoes, It’s Time to Take Climate Change Action

Twenty-two players on the field, eleven on each side. The game plays for ninety minutes. Those ninety minutes will fly by. You blink, you might miss out on magic happening on the field. Every thunderous kick of the ball is packed with passion. Every step over, every flick of the ball is backed with aContinue reading “The True Cost of a World Cup” - #JeSuisCharlie: The Legacy of the Twitter Movement, 5 Years Later
On the morning of January 7, 2015, the editorial meeting of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo was well underway in Paris when two masked gunmen armed with AK-47s forced their way into the publication’s offices and opened fire, leaving twelve dead.
