We’re back! It was a hell of a week to be out, but we had tech issues and had to devote some major focus to the DNC.

Speaking of which, we think they did a great job. Bernie keeping his name in contention for the nomination ended up being perfect. The nominating and seconding speeches clearly explained why he would have been a great choice and hopefully the delegate counts let the Party and specifically, Biden, know that they need to be looking more left on a lot of issues.

Kanye is still running his campaign, but doing it incorrectly.

An, of course, there is Jacob Blake, another un-armed Black man severely injured at the hands of police. Let this be a reminder (although one should not be needed) that police reform is crucial and necessary for the advancement of American society. Police should not be judge, jury and executioner. There is no reason why a police office should ever sentence an individual (criminal or not) to death.

This and more right here. We missed you.
