The Danger of a Single Story
The Danger of a Single Story
Teaching 7th grade in Georgia, we spend the entire year learning about Africa and Asia. We cover religions, ethnic groups, cultures, governments. We go in-depth on issues facing the Middle East and Southeast Asia. We cover the impoverished parts of Africa and those that are booming. And every year I start the new school year by showing the same TED talk: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichietalking about the…

Why We Shouldn't #BringBackObama
Why We Shouldn’t #BringBackObama
Guess who’s back boys and girls! I know it’s been a while since my last official blog post. I’m sure you all followed the podcast and know my feelings about the election. I’ve been on a sabbatical since then trying to really process everything and see what a Trump presidency would look like. However, I’m not back to discuss President Trump. Instead I’m here to look at the latest trending hashtag…

1st Presidential Debate Review
1st Presidential Debate Review
The first presidential debate is over and it lived up to the hype. Before delving into the issues, were the candidates trying to confuse everyone? Hillary comes out in an all-red pant suit and Donald Trump comes out wearing a blue tie. Then Donald Trump apparently forgets what to call Hillary? “…Secretary…Clinton? Is that okay? I want you to be happy with me.” So Trump is wanting credit for…

Interview With U.S. Senate Candidate Ron Crumpton
Interview With U.S. Senate Candidate Ron Crumpton
Recently I had the opportunity to interview U.S. Senate candidate Ron Crumpton about his upcoming election. Mr. Crumpton is challenging the incumbent Senator Richard Shelby this November. Shelby has been in the U.S. Senate for what feels like an eternity and it’s time for a fresh face to represent Alabama up in Washington. From what I have learned about him, I am beyond excited about the…

Who Will be the Next Member of the Presidents Club?
Who Will be the Next Member of the Presidents Club?
One of my favorite books I’ve ever read is The Presidents Club: Inside the World’s Most Exclusive Fraternity by Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy. I promise I am not making any money from them…although I’ll gladly accept some if they want to donate. Anyways, if you haven’t read it, it talks about the relationships between former presidents and sitting presidents. It’s a fantastic book that I highly…

Democratic Convention Recap - Day 4
Democratic Convention Recap – Day 4
The Democratic National Convention is finally over and what an event. From the starting point with Bernie or Bust diehards interrupting the opening prayer to Hillary officially accepting the nomination and the party uniting behind her. It’s been a pretty interesting ride that had plenty of highs and lows. But all in all, I think Democrats will walk away happy with the convention and excited about…

Democratic Convention Recap – Day 3
The penultimate day of the Democratic Convention focused on two major issues: gun control and foreign policy. It also saw possibly the last convention speech from everyone’s favorite Veep, Joe Biden. The next Vice President, Tim Kaine, accepted the nomination for Vice President tonight. And to wrap things up…President Obama doing President Obama things. Let’s get into the breakdown.…

Democratic Convention Recap – Day 2
Girl power! That was pretty much the ongoing theme of tonight’s convention in Philadelphia. It featured a plethora of female speakers throughout the night. While some of the speakers sort of failed to conjure up a lot of excitement, it didn’t matter. This day essentially pivoted around three main events: the roll call vote to officially nominate Hillary Clinton as the Democratic candidate, the…

Democratic Convention Recap - Day 1
Democratic Convention Recap – Day 1
Day one of the Democratic National Convention kicked off today and it started a little…rough. With the whole (new) email scandal, this time surrounding DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz. She officially stepped down and “removed herself” from speaking to open the convention today. Then the Bernie or Bust protestors constantly interrupted everyone on stage chanting “Bernie” repeatedly. They…

GOP Convention Recap - Day 4
GOP Convention Recap – Day 4
The final curtain has fallen on the 2016 Republican National Convention and what a show it was. The night ended with Donald Trump officially accepting the nomination and giving his best impression of a presidential speech. And it went on forever. I’ll formally apologize to Mike Pence now for saying his went too long. But the night was full of interesting events so let’s get to them. Joe Arpaio…

The penultimate episode of As the Trump World Turns, formerly known as the Republican National Convention is in the books and Republicans finally got a chance to meet their Vice Presidential candidate. Mike Pence was the keynote speaker tonight and, he may in fact STILL be speaking to an empty arena. That guy never wanted to quit. But there plenty of other moments worth talking about so let’s…

GOP Convention Recap – Day 2
Day 2 of the Grand Old Party’s Convention is officially in the books. It was highlighted with the official roll call vote by delegates to nominate Donald Trump as the Republican candidate. There’s no going back now. But that wasn’t the only highlights from the night. It once again featured a barrage of D list celebrities and former members of the huge Republican field competing against Trump for…

GOP Convention Recap – Day 1
The Republican National Convention Circus officially kicked off today in Cleveland and what a day it was! There’s no way to touch on EVERYTHING but here are some of the highlights from day 1. The day started with an invocation by a local rabbi. Seeing the confused looks on the faces of the delegates from Texas when the rabbi was speaking Hebrew was priceless. It’s like they weren’t sure if they…

Charting Hillary's Path to Victory
Charting Hillary’s Path to Victory
One of the most common questions that I’ve got recently is how can Hillary win with all the baggage hanging over her. They want to talk about how in some national polls, her polling numbers have dropped and she’s close to or tied with Donald Trump. They talk about Bernie’s supporters holding out and looking at Jill Stein as an alternative pick. It seems like nothing is going right for Hillary and…
