Immigration in the U.S. — especially illegal immigration — is the subject of many socio-cultural concerns and legal issues today. As of a couple years ago, the number of immigrants both legal and illegal in the United States hit a new record of 40 million. According to Newsmax, “[T]he number of immigrants plus their children […]
“I think the Vice President very well knows that sometimes the words don’t come out of [his] mouth the right way.” — Rep. Paul Ryan, giving possibly the best line of the 2012 VP debate What can be said about this debate that hasn’t? Not much, so forgive me if this sounds kinda familiar. (And, […]
“We know that the path we are taking is not working. It’s time for a new path.” — Mitt Romney I admit it. I didn’t watch the debate on Wednesday. (I was busy reading/studying for my Oracle SQL class.) So, I had to wait until this weekend to watch the full 1.5 hours on YouTube. […]

I finally finished the book Indivisible: Restoring Faith, Family, and Freedom before It’s Too Late by James Robison and Jay W. Richards. (I was only reading it sporadically and had to return it to the library at least once.) I really enjoyed and highly recommend it. The authors do a great job of laying out […]
One day I realized that I was “stuck” where I was in life and didn’t like my limited options. I felt I needed a change. I didn’t want to stay in my poor neighborhood. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunities that others “out there” had. So,… I left. I didn’t really feel like […]
