CBS's 60 Minutes interviewed President-Elect Donald Trump after his election, and asked some very direct questions on what Donald's Plans are now. His tone was completely different, and it makes one wonder what a Trump presidency will bring us. In his interview, he says he is saddened by the acts of hate happening after the…
Jonathan Pie’s Response to Trump Presidency and It’s Spot On
Johnathan Pie, a UK reporter and satirist, couldn't have said it better. He explains why Trump won, and what the left must be do in the future if they don't want more Trumps.
A New Approach to Ending Racism and Bigotry is Needed
Racism and bigotry stem from ignorance and arrogance, sometimes combined with economic interests (i.e. competing social groups often don't like each other).

The Missing Voices of Love & Reason
In the aftermath of this election, which I think was exhausting and draining on all of us, I've been doing some thinking. There are a ton of voices that divide us and promote their own interests and agendas above all others, but where are the voices promoting peace, love and respect? We have a lot…
What to Do After Your Candidate Loses
Just because your candidate didn't win doesn't mean it's over. What it means is you have to continue promoting peace, love, equality and fairness. You can do that several ways.
