How America’s Foundation was Built on Propaganda
Tai Leclaire, member of the Mohawk and Mi’kmaq tribes takes you through a brief history of America through the lens of propaganda aimed at Native Americans. He mentions in the video that most people aren’t taught about the things in the video, which is likely true.
Other countries used to like us.
I don’t intend on celebrating the fourth of July this year. I was six years old during America’s Bicentennial. I don’t remember much of it and I was really looking forward to the 250th. I feel cheated because Americans have become so stupid they happily elect con men to all facets of government and gleefully clap as they watch these con men plunder America’s wealth reputation. We don’t have a functioning government. We have pedophiles and pedophile protectors enriching themselves as Americans are forgotten and drown in preventable issues.
Nothing like hitting the end of the month and realizing you forgot to make this post. Also, I’m going to use the lame excuse that February only has 28 days, so it’s February’s fault for this being late. Or something. I mean if the orange guy can use lame-ass excuses, I can, too. Right?
The weather is starting cool off. Fall is here. What can you do on a chilly night? My grandmother always taught me to keep learning. You don’t have to be in school to continue to educate yourself. As such, here are a few documentaries I think are worthwhile to check out.

I see the cracks in the foundations of my country and wonder if anything I do, if the words I write might help stop it from crumbling.
In today’s world, we need some distractions from it in order to stay sane. Here are a few videos I think are well worth your time. They are fun, informative, and might make you smile.
In eighth grade in New York State, my Social Studies class had one joint assignment. The entire class had to first memorize the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution. Then, on the appointed day of the assignment, each student walked up to the chalkboard and wrote a word or erased a word and placed the correct one in. We could continue as long as we wished until we decided together we were finished.
We’ve been on a terrible timeline since the end of 2016. If we are going to be forced to live with this shitshow, I think it should start off with a bang to make me smile. Here is my proposal on how to start 2025 and survive the next four years.
I have come to enjoy audio books over the past few years. I still prefer a good book in my hands, but there is a place for audio and, if the narrator is a good one, it makes you enjoy the subject so much more.
