And Yet They Stay Silent
Now that Donald Trump is no longer president, I often don’t feel the need to pay as much close attention to him as I once did during those nightmare four years in office. Although he has announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, I still remain wary. Since I still remember how we all underestimated him during the 2016 election campaign to our great detriment. If there’s one thing…

Let Us Not Vote for Those Involved in Treason
With the 2022 mid-term elections in full-swing, we must take heart the lessons of the 2016 and 2020 elections that what you and others decide at the ballot box lead to policies that have an impact on your life. While most of the races are for US Congress, Senate, and state legislatures, there are plenty of races for other state and local offices as well. In my home state of Pennsylvania, there is…

The Marcellus Shale and the Fracking Myth
Disclaimer: This essay contains spoilers from The Trouble at Deacon Hill.
My recently published novel The Trouble at Deacon Hill revolves around a reporter and blogger investigating a natural gas company following a well explosion on a farm in Southwestern Pennsylvania. At first, you’d think it’s a freak accident that eventually got out of hand. However, as Pittsburgh Clarion Call reporter…

The Price We Pay for What We Don’t Know
Disclaimer: this essay contains spoilers from The Lost Women of Ballantine Castle.
My newly self-published novel on Amazon titled The Lost Women of Ballantine Castle chiefly centers on the disappearances of undocumented maids dating from the 1980s to the pre-Covid Trump era, the time the story takes place. Almost all of these maids are Hispanic, range from their late teens to their late…

This Is Not a Hoax
This Is Not a Hoax
Back in April, my sister fell deathly ill to the Coronavirus for a few weeks. She couldn’t sleep. She couldn’t breathe. She was constantly tired. She had never been so sick in her life. Had she not sought medical attention on my dad’s recommendation, she might’ve ended up on a ventilator. But when she did, she had a doctor check on her through tele-medicine every day. Now where did she get the…

Celebrate the Stars and Stripes Forever with These Star Spangled 4th of July Craft Projects (Fifth Edition)
Celebrate the Stars and Stripes Forever with These Star Spangled 4th of July Craft Projects (Fifth Edition)
Now we go to the crafts. Of course, given the Covid 19 virus and the lack of quality federal leadership, this 4th of July will be a rather disappointing one for many. After all, it’s summer and you can’t go to any beaches, bars, or restaurants. So you might as well stay home and watch Hamilton on Disney + which is what I’m planning to do anyway. Still, at least you can decorate your house in…

Salute the Red, White, and Blue United States of America with These Patriotic 4th of July Treats (Sixth Edition)
Salute the Red, White, and Blue United States of America with These Patriotic 4th of July Treats (Sixth Edition)
Now that Father’s Day is over, we go into the Fourth of July. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 outbreak, almost all municipal Independence Day events in the United States are canceled. So you’ll most likely see no parades, no concerts, no outdoor shows, no regattas, no picnics, and no local celebrations. And the only fireworks you’ll see are the your neighbor shoots off in his back yard. Yeah,…

A Nation in Crisis
A Nation in Crisis
One thing you can be certain about while living through the Trump years is that whenever you think this illegitimate and criminal presidential administration has hit rock bottom, rock bottom somehow has a deep basement that must now be some sleazy underground city at some point. Apparently, as the Trump crew descend further from the moral limbo stick since the 2016 presidential election, it has…

The Wonderful World of Album Covers (Seventh Edition)
The Wonderful World of Album Covers (Seventh Edition)
As you can see, I haven’t done a blog post since April because I’ve been working on a novel I’m almost finished on. Yet, given that we’re being confined to our homes during the coronavirus outbreak, I decided to do another album cover post. After all, among the misery and boredom we must face, we can really use a laugh. So why not with good old-fashioned awful covers? After all, when you’re on…

Staring Down the Coronavirus Pandemic
Staring Down the Coronavirus Pandemic
Since the Coronavirus outbreak has compelled us to retreat from our social lives and stay at home, I’ve mostly been confined to my house save for the occasional walk. Indeed, I’ve adjusted quite well to quarantine. But there are still things I miss. For instance, I miss going to church. I miss going to a library, Barnes & Noble, the movies, my grandma’s, and so many other places. However, I can…

The Pastel World of Easter Village Houses (Fourth Edition)
Now we get to Easter village houses. As the Coronavirus ravages the world, social events are cancelled, Easter celebrations are postponed, and everyone’s staying at home. I’ve already missed church for 2 weeks and will probably do so for several more, which I don’t do very often save if I have to work or are on vacation. My dad also had to cancel a dental appointment for me. Anyway, like you see…

Fun with Easter Bonnets (Sixth Edition)
Now we’re on to Easter bonnets. Sadly, due to the Coronavirus outbreak, you won’t be able to see any Easter parade in New York City or in your hometown. Thus, we’ll all be deprived all those wonderfully ridiculous hats. Of course, a lot of Easter events have been canceled all the way up to the Vatican as we await to flatten the curve in our homes. Still, that doesn’t mean we can’t have any fun.…

The Wonderful World of Peep Shows (No, Not That Kind) (Seventh Edition)
As the Coronavirus ravages the world and leads to mass cancellations of aspects related to our social lives, we must try our best to get by. In fact, just the other day at Target I saw Saint Patrick’s Day decorations on discount and it’s not even Saint Patrick’s Day. Also, there was practically no toilet paper, hand sanitizer, or rubbing alcohol. Anyway, given that I do these posts at home on my…
