In these troubling times we are experiencing we hear about celebrities getting medical treatment that has been next to impossible for regular people to receive.  That pops the question, do they really know what we feel?  Do they even care?  Can they actually realize how Blessed they are and how much their fame is affecting the response for average Americans?  Well, do they?  Do they feel our pain?  Let's talk about it, this is the Angry Rican --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm...

In the Quest for the truth it hurts that Real life is fake

People Like Us Independents have a hard time because no matter how much we want to find the right information about everything from the corona-virus to political candidates to climate change there are 10 or 20 people with different information and different agendas, people that would like to throw you off and antagonize against you and keep conspiracy theories, misinformation or careless attitudes alive. That's why when you are searching for information and you embark in the Quest for the tr...

La generacion de los millenials y Generación Z son la juventud de hoy.

It is no secret that I am not by any means a Donald Trump supporter but it's also not a secret that I am a political agnostic. Time and time again and I have seen the Democratic and the Republican Party mess things up for us here in the United States, playing the same game using the same lobbyists and passing the same legislation full with pork and nonsense. However there is a voting Bloc that could make a difference if they allow their voices to be heard in this year's election and that is ...

Whether it is considering some animals to be Satan's creatures or denying information that is scientifically correct human beings are capable of allowing ignorance to overcome their mental capacities.

We need to stay home! But what about those that cannot?

If you can work from home or if you're not working don't leave your house. It is the one thing that's beginning to have an effect on this pandemic worldwide. Stay home! However something needs to be done in favor of the people that cannot stay home. There is a great amount of workers or people that simply don't have a home to stay at.

It seems when it comes to passing bills, stimulus or legislation in general pork will always be there.  It matters not that a national emergency or a crisis is beating up the country.  Unnecessary spending and assignation to entities that are "fat" in money already will be benefited.  Is this right?  Is this proper?  You decide, listen to The Angry Rican on The Quest for the Truth! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kenrick-rampersad/message

We have heard the rhetoric of president Donald Trump (dad) and how it's influencing the likes of Florida governor Ron DeSantis (son).  Now however both men continue to do things their way but while DeSantis was not surprising, what Trump said this week made us realize the time for benefit of the doubt is done.  This was the last slap in the face we deserve as country.   This is The Quest for the Truth  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kenrick-rampersad/message
