Thank you

I decided some time ago that I was going to start a blog post where I could voice my thoughts on several issues that normally just bounce around in my head on a daily basis.  I wanted to be able to write my thoughts freely, cover the big issues and small ones alike, and put them into a venue where others can read them, comment if they wish, and have conversations about the subject matter. 

I think I have achieved that. I was looking at my analytics recently and see that my blogs have been read in the United States, Germany, Australia, France, Poland, Spain, Peru, Russia, and the Ukraine.  I really found that interesting. 

My purpose of this short blog is to simply say 'Thank You' to those of you out there who have read one or more of my blogs.  I plan to continue publishing blogs indefinitely, and I hope that people start following and commenting on them as well, because the true fun begins when we can have good conversations about the subjects. 

I ask that if you like the blog, please share it so my audience can grow over time.  I will continue to share each new blog on Facebook and Twitter, but my hope is that people begin following the blog itself so they receive notifications when I put new posts up. 

Also, if you have any ideas of subjects you would like me to address in future blogs, please feel free to send those ideas to me at stephendunkel@gmail.com.  Put BLOG IDEA in the subject line of the email when you send it.  I am always open to new ideas.  I currently have 21 blogs posted on my site, so if you have only read one or a couple, please dig into others I have posted and let me know what you think about them.

I appreciate you all for reading my blogs, and I hope that I can continue to provide blogs that you enjoy well into the future.  Have a great and long weekend, and you will hear from me again after the holiday!

In closing, I am a Veteran, and I want to take a moment to recognize those who gave their lives in service to this great nation.  This coming holiday is about those who gave it all and left themselves on the battle field having made the ultimate sacrifice in service to country.  This coming holiday is not about veterans like me.  It is a holiday where we all need to take moments and give thanks to those who gave their lives so that people like me can have blogs like this in which I can say anything that I want to because of the freedoms we have as citizens of the greatest country on Earth.

To those who gave it all and to their families; I love you all, and I thank you all for your sacrifices.

Trump and the DOJ Trying to Silence Mueller...

Mueller is set to sit in front of Congress on Wednesday this week and answer questions regarding the Mueller Investigation.  The DOJ, and organization that is supposed to look out for the best interests of America but has recently decided to become Trump's personal Law Firm, has sent correspondence to Mueller about what he can and cannot answer. For instance, you have the question of the 10 documented cases of obstruction in volume 2 of the report.  Mueller made it clear that he was bound by DOJ policy and could not indict a sitting president.  One very important question the Congressional Leadership will likely ask is, "If Donald Trump wasn't the sitting President, would you have indicted him based on the amount of evidence in the report?"  That question in every respect is fair.  You are asking the head of an investigation if they would have indicted someone had an arbitrary roadblock not been in place.  I say arbitrary roadblock because the policy is...

Electoral College

I have seen a ton of talk about the Electoral College in recent months.  The majority of Americans feel that going to a Direct Popular Vote like the rest of the world is the way to go.  Those on the Right seem to be completely against abolishing the Electoral College.  The question is why? The most common argument given is that we shouldn't let voters in all the big cities decide who is in office for the entire country, and that with Direct Popular Vote, those people who live in rural communities also get a say.  When you break down that argument, you quickly find all the holes that exist within it.  Let's start by talking about one other thing that is completely unfair in our current political system.  Let's look at the Senate. In the Senate, each State elects 2 Senators to go to Congress in Washington D.C.  Sounds fair right? Let's look at the most populous states and least populous states and how many people in each state Senators repres...

Truth Matters

If there is one thing I need to keep reminding myself in today's world of political discourse, it is that Truth Matters. At any point in time I can turn on (insert news agency here) News and what I see is vastly different depending upon the news agency I watch.  Why is that?  Every mainstream news organization is bias in some way based upon who runs or owns the news organization.  Don't get me wrong; there are great and impartial journalists and agencies out there, but we are talking in aggregate and not about individuals or one-off agencies. When an issue like immigration is at the forefront of political discourse you can tune into CNN, MSNBC, and FOX and likely get three completely different takes on immigration.  Each news organization tailors their message to speak to what they feel is their viewer base and potential viewer base. That in and of itself is understood by people who follow politics on a regular basis and dig through multiple news sources in ord...
