Wars & More Speaker Chaos


As Israel and Hamas lead to the U.S. Military Industrial Complex’s leader’s eyeballs to turn to dollar signs the Republican Party in the U.S. House of Representatives fail to deliver the money to their bosses.

As the United States seeks to fund wars in Ukraine and Israeli-Palestine/Palestinian-Israel we see a failure of political parties to show leadership. The Democrats fail us by financing war over American infrastructure, schooling, and investing in rural and poor communities. Republicans failing us by failing to provide stable leadership, financing those same wars, and failing to provide a fiscally responsible plan as promised. 

The United States must withdraw from our supra-national policing, and work toward realistic, fact-based, peace-focused foreign policy. Not viewing every military conflict as a means to profiteer and bolster the military industrial complex. I want the starving fed, the homeless clothes, and infrastructure repaired but let’s focused on rural WV as well. I’m not asking to completely end helping those struggling as a result of these wars, I’m asking that we actually help the poor and rural communities at home struggling with the same issues.

This speaker election issue only makes this worse, because the federal government literally can not act on its most important issues because a branch of the government is without true leadership. Now don’t get me wrong Kevin McCarthy was never really in charge but at least they pretended he was. I don’t care if they have to agree to rotate the speakership every day just to get the government working, get something done.

Just as always, the two major political parties are working to lock the working poor deeper into debt deeper into poverty. We need a peaceful and democratic revolution in this country to end this system of rule of the senile and greedy. 

We need to harness the economic opportunities of 21st century, invest in our communities at home regardless of their wealth or urbanization, and pursue a fiscally moderate policy that sees our government funded without unnecessary debts.

Press Release: WV Lobbying needs Reform and Accountability

Press Release For Immediate Release WV Lobbying needs Reform and Accountability Recently the media has been reporting on a story regarding a man who was simultaneously working for the WV State Auditor, and served as President of a lobbying firm. This, of course, is incredibly dubious and unethical, but it took people pointing out that the situation may have been illegal for this individual to leave his position being paid $25/hour of taxpayer money. Due to loopholes in the laws of West Virginia, it is not clear whether this individual did actually violate state law, though I stand firm in saying that investigations into several potential violations should occur. Regardless of the legality of the actions taken by the State Auditor and his employee/campaign contributor, West Virginia must close any of the potential loopholes in the lobbying laws of West Virginia. If you are a lobbyist, I have little sympathy for you. I will listen to everyday people, and the grassroots organizations that...

My Political Future (Running in 2024?)

Image
So since I was a teenager I have been vocal about my plans to run for political office. I originally had planned to run for WV House of Delegates in 2020 when I would have been 19 years old. However, a bout of depression & anxiety made it to where I failed to work toward this goal and had planned to give up on my political career (despite remaining passionate). I would come out of this depression in early 2019 & take the advice of my high school Physics teacher (R.I.P.) to run for a municipal office prior to running for the legislature. As such 2019 became the year that I graduated high school with honors, started university, got my driver’s license, my mom battled cancer, & I ran for Oak Hill City Council, Ward 2. Due to how busy that year was & my anxiety/inability to campaign I did poorly. Since that point I have build my personal brand around my political ambitions, & regularly comment on current political events. And I  recently approached some friends of m...

Humble, Hungry, & Smart - Business Teamwork

Image
So on Friday, I had an assignment in which I had to write a paper on teamwork, particularly in business settings, and how this one person said the three elements of an effective teammate were Humility, Hunger for Success, and Smarts as defined as emotional intelligence. And while that has already been written and submitted I was thinking back to last semester in my business simulation class. In that class we worked in teams to manage a business, one of the teams shared work but with one clearly defined leader, one team worked together without a leader and lacking an understanding of the simulation’s data, one team had a leader tasked with most of the work due to inactive team members, and my team selected me as CEO and we worked together on most decisions while trusting each other to make necessary decisions regarding particular aspects of the business which they managed to become skilled in over the course of the class. Clearly I don’t have as many details on the other teams, but that...
