My mom had allowed me to go trick or treating with some kids who lived in a local housing project. My mother once taught the girl and she

Imagine a war where all the soldiers on one side are fighting individual battles and refuse to fight together. How long do you think that war would last and what do you think would be the outcome? Throughout history, armies which were technically superior and had numbers on their side, time and time again, lost to adversaries who was more cohesive and had better tactics and strategies. What matters in war is not quantity of

We are being led to the gutter by a political system and the punditry that is intentionally injecting animosity in order to perpetuate tribalism and hatred. This Ghion Cast is a discussion of how this is being done to
