Entrepreneur Joe Polish said “Most people don’t use social media; they are used by it.” Over the past 20 years or so, tech giants have obtained massive amounts of data on their users. Facebook, Youtube, Google, Twitter and other platforms are able to entice their users through preferred algorithms that are able to retain user…
When then President-elect Donald Trump came to the political arena with his outlandish, vindictive, unorthodox, approach, many on the left (and right) did not take him seriously. He spouted out false promises to his base, didn’t have any actual tangible policy concepts, and didn’t sound too intelligent when publicly speaking. This then provided the left…
In today’s political and social climate, with its current status of extreme polarism, a very fundamental, yet dormant, American activity has resurfaced in popularity. Activism, defined as “the policy or action of using vigorous campaigning to bring about political or social change”, is a fundamental civil and social activity that has made a resurgence in…
While taking my daily drive from the 405 to the 22 into Long Beach, just before passing over the Beach Blvd exit in Huntington Beach, I pass a handwritten sign attached to an overpass stating: “collusion and lots of it!” About half a million people a day are viewing this sign as they commute to…

I was once told straight white males are the reason for adversity in this country. I was then told guns are the sole reason for mass shootings. And now, I’m being told billionaires are bad people, solely due to the fact that they possess more capital than the common man/woman. Are “progressives” angered by the…
Why are pundits continuously exploiting their political foes to prove a point? Do the actions of a select few individuals define the party as a whole? First off, providing video content of a Democrat or Republican, acting a fool does not mean the whole party acts that way. This should be common sense, but unfortunately,…
When listening to the Trump rhetoric I can understand why his supporters actually think the economy is doing well. The unemployment rate is low, jobs are being created and the stock market is hitting record highs. But what’s left out is the fact that, President Trump is on the path to racking up more debt…
Ludwig von Mises once said “All rational action is in the first place individual action. Only the individual thinks. Only the individual reasons.
