Open Letter to Jetblue – Why So Lax With Passenger Safety?
Rules are for some but not for all at Jetblue?

Nielsen… Still Lying After All These Years
Bad Nielsen Hispanic Samples perpetuated tired media stereotypes of U.S. Latinos as maids, gardeners, gangbangers, or illegal immigrants. Young U.S.-born Latinos were not represented in the research and, thus, the television programming landscape.

Mentally Ill or Mentally Weak?
They play internet doctors, lawyers, spiritual leaders, climatologists, entrepreneurs, political pundits, and experts of all stripes because they can do so without real-world knowledge or consequences. When proven wrong, which is easy with a stroke of a fact check, they double down or, at best, crawl back down their rabbit hole only to re-emerge later with more outrageous, bogus claims.

New York Post Denies Climate Change on Day of Global Calamity
His article proclaims more air conditioning and cooling centers as a solution to climate change? Yes, the answer for CO2 emissions is more CO2 emissions. This is farcical.

Journalists Not Immune to Qspiracy Madness

Rethinking my relationship to Tennessee
I still love Tennessee. And I will continue to defend against lazy stereotypes. But not like before. Not after so many Tennesseans supported this coward conman, who caused this insurrection. Not after being so intellectually lazy too. Stereotypes are, after all, based on some kernel of truth. It appears the grain of truth in Tennessee was more extensive than I had imagined.

Tribute to my Father
If having a heart threatens our way of life, then it’s a way of life that is doomed to failure anyway. Having a heart is a feature, not a bug, for the denizens of this country. It is why we are so prosperous, not in spite of it.

Can’t Handle the Truth?
While facts can be interpreted differently depending on one’s unique inherent life experiences, confirmation biases, etc., traits that we ALL have and must face, there is and will always only be one set of verifiable facts.
