we battle on

January 25, 2025, marks eighty years since the end of the Battle of the Bulge. Although achieved at great cost, the Germans never did take Bastogne. The Battle of the Bulge was the deadliest battle for U.S. forces in World War II. 

As German fascists under Adolf Hitler were insisting that an elite few must lead - taking a nation forward by directing the actions of the rest - they demonized their opponents.

By turning them into an other that their followers could hate and dividing the population so they could control it. In contrast to their system was democracy - based on the idea that all people should be treated equally before the law and should have a say in their government. 

4th of July 2020 | what to celebrate

This year in the USofA our nation lies scattered and fragmented. We lead the world in pandemic infections [2,860,152 confirmed] and deaths [131,797 dead]. We are protesting in the streets for black lives matter, LGBTQ equality, women's rights, defund police, armed brutality, Donald Trump.

This fool on The Hill who is on Mount Rushmore today to celebrate Independence Day festivities with a rally for 7,500 people. With a flyover and the first fireworks display at the monument since 2009, when they were banned for their risk of igniting wildfires and damage to public health.

Way to go Donald. America is no longer a world leader under Trump. It is a failed nation airing its soiled underwear. There will be no happy celebration this Fourth of July. 

Our only hope to turn things around is to vote! Vote! VOTE! for someone else. 

Pinoy Freedom

This year's Philippine Independence Day - a celebration also known as Araw ng Kalayaan, "Day of Freedom" has been anything but - since the birth of our nation and long suffering history of its people.
