McMaster STILL a Disaster

Posted October 17, 2022 by CJ Waldron in News

In a previous article, it was mentioned how South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster spent his precious ad dollars attacking his opponent, Joe Cunningham instead of touting his own accomplishments. The blog indicated that perhaps Good Ole Henry didn’t mention what good he’s done because he hasn’t done a thing. Well, apparently Henry got the message... sort…

McMaster the Disaster

Posted September 28, 2022 by CJ Waldron in News

ShareFacebook Twitter

In his most recent campaign ad South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster makes everything from vague accusations to outright lies. Instead of touting his accomplishments (Did he actually have any?) he spends his 30 second spot making claims about a “broken Washington” and the false assertion that Democrats, presumably including his opponent, Joe Cunningham, want to…

McMaster is a Disaster

ShareFacebook Twitter

In a series of head-scratching moves, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster stomped on the rights of women, made the state a less desirable tourist destination and contributed to the spread of a deadly virus. He made these moves with the help of Republicans in the state legislature. Though he claims these moves were to benefit…

In a recently released report, the United Nations issued an extensive study about the state of the environment.

Racism Cannot be Denied

Posted June 6, 2021 by CJ Waldron in News

ShareFacebook Twitter

Since the first African-Americans were forced to come to the New World in 1619, America has had an issue with race. Considered inferior, and in most cases, not even people, they were kept in bondage for generations. The founding of our nation pivoted on a selective inclusion of enslaved individuals. Even as a bloody war got…

Coronavirus: A New Form of Genocide?

There is a disturbing trend in the Coronavirus fatalities that raises the question of whether trends in our society are resulting in a new form of genocide, because black Americans are dying at a rate far out of proportion to the overall population. In Chicago, for example, blacks represent 68 percent of Coronavirus deaths despite being…

With each passing day, it is becoming more obvious. The Trump administration knew about the dangers of the Coronavirus outbreak far sooner than they are admitting. From a 2019 report , which Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar presented to Congress last April to a detailed memo from White House Economic Advisor Peter Navarro,…

Global Pandemic: Reassurance from Trump? Not.

Posted March 12, 2020 by CJ Waldron in News

ShareFacebook Twitter

In his latest effort to deal with the coronavirus outbreak, Donald Trump addressed the nation last night. If this was meant to allay any fears and provide reassurance, it failed miserably. In fact, the message, which Trump read in a near monotone from a teleprompter, was so muddled it had to be amended almost immediately to…

South Carolina is one of twenty two states that has open primaries. This means that you do not have to be affiliated with a particular party to vote for any candidate. Since South Carolina has declined to hold a Republican primary, instead giving Donald Trump an uncontested victory, Republicans, disgruntled with Trump, can support a…

It is an almost daily occurrence. Mass casualty shootings have, sadly, become the norm in our country. While a majority of Americans support stricter gun control measures, the pro-gun lobby, led by the NRA and their dead-from-the-neck-up Second Amendment distortionists, have us living in fear that a trip to the mall or a simple fender…

Federal judges who are friendly to Trump are being appointed at a record pace. The sad thing is, many of these judges have been deemed unqualified by the American Bar Association (ABA). The number of open Federal judgeships can be traced back to one man: #MoscowMitch McConnell. Since federal judges are approved by the Senate, McConnell…

“We don’t need no education” -Pink Floyd As an educator, I should be appalled at the comment.
