Keeping the Torch Light On
The Mission
To preserve/revive democracy.
Yes, that's a tall order. And I can't do it alone. That's where you come in. It's going to take all of us. And, to be honest, I don't even know what it's going to look like. But I can assure you, it ain't gonna be pretty. I imagine we'll all be bloody and bruised before it's over. And I hope I am speaking figuratively.
My job is to keep you informed as best as I can. I will strive to be accurate and truthful. Yes, I will speak from my perspective. Yes, I'll express my emotions. And yes, I'll call out people I think need to be called out.
​
But if you ever catch me with inaccurate information, or addressing the wrong person, please call ME out. With a reliable source. I will research and issue a correction if necessary.
​
Let me know what topics you want to hear about. The rumors you want confirmed or put to sleep. Your input is invaluable to me.

About Me
In April 2025, RFK Jr. made some ridiculous and uninformed comments about people on the Autism Spectrum. I posted a tirade on Facebook about how my son on the Spectrum is twice the man he is. My friends asked me to make it public so they could share it. I didn't want to have a post from my personal Facebook page in public so I created a new page.
Then I made a video. A friend suggested I open a TikTok account so I did. Between TikTok, Facebook. Instagram and Threads, I quickly discovered there were a lot of people interested in hearing my voice on current issues.
I try to look at things from a slightly different perspective. And while I strive to be factual - you can see my personality come out. In case you haven't figured it out by now, I have no trouble speaking my mind - the trouble is getting me to shut up. As for my credentials, at various points in my life I have been a reporter, advertising copywriter, playwright and business owner.
To paraphrase author Pat Conroy, "I was drafted into the Marine Corps the day I was born and served my country faithfully and honorably for 18 years." (I didn't stop loving this country, believing in this country or fighting for this country then - it's just every day since I 've done it out of passion for this country, not happenstance of birth.)
If you follow me on Social Media, welcome to this space. If you found this website separately, look for me on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and TikTok.
Join me in the quest to restore our democracy and make our country once again offer liberty and justice. For ALL.
