The year was 1815, and my great-great-great-great-great grandfather Pierre Henry landed in his new home in Prussia.

Would I leave the United States?
Over my life, especially since I came to political awareness during the Bush administration, I have often thought about whether it would be worth leaving the United States. The United States has a lot of issues, until 2014 people like me had no guarantee of health insurance, college education is very expensive in this country, …
Today’s realization
The last time a Democratic President was succeeded by another Democrat through an election since the parties realigned was never. It has simply never happened.

My experience with Cerebral Palsy

Procrastination is not a virtue
Today is the second day of the third Democratic trifecta of my life. President Biden is planning on sign the executive orders he can to fix most of the damage Trump did through executive orders, which is exactly what President Biden should be doing this week. Soon eyes will turn across the lawn to the …
The Path Ahead
Today is January 20th of a year divisible by four, and that means it is inauguration day. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have now taken office and this is a great day for America. America just threw off a fascist at the ballot box. Only Chile has done that on record. First …
Which side are you on?
Today we will know for sure where every politician stands compared to values. The easiest way for me to explain this is from the perspective of Germany in 1933, where the 4 main parties had very different policies SPD The SPD had strong actions backing their values.
