Have honesty and decency died? Part 1
October 28, 2019 10:35 - 11 minutes - 21.7 MBRecently yours truly was involved in an auto accident. It has been difficult to find legal representation to dispute the compensation or lack of proper compensation from the insurance company. I was not injured in the accident.

Were the 1950s the greatest decade? Depends who you ask
October 06, 2019 18:48 - 27 minutes - 50.5 MBThe story of 30-year-old Katrina Holte is fascinating. She has renounced this century and has chosen to live life as a 1950s housewife with the blessing of her husband who appreciates her wishes to keep the household functioning and take care of him.

Trump's Nationalism helps, just not the U.S.
October 03, 2019 00:29 - 11 minutes - 10.3 MBFrom the beginning Donald Trump has been running on a platform that is anti immigrant, anti globalism and pro nationalism.

September 28, 2019 20:59 - 17 minutes - 32.6 MBThe impeachment charade is occupying the attention and the minds of people all over social media.
