The Rational Ram

In recent years, I’ve largely avoided posting political topics. My education and experience in politics (I hold a Bachelor’s degree in political science) has made me apolitical to a degree over the years. I don’t subscribe to an ideology, and I try to be pragmatic and objective in forming my political opinions. Political opinions should […]

I finished watching the video embedded above and thought I’d share it with my readers as a bonus blog post for today. This video is a breakdown of former President Donald Trump’s speech at a rally in Pennsylvania this weekend. As the title says, some people attending the rally left the venue in the middle […]

As the 2024 presidential election continues to heat up, I am reminded of the old refrain proffered by the Republicans, and usually to support the reason former President Donald Trump should be reelected to a second, nonconsecutive term. That refrain being that “we need a businessman as president since government should be run like a […]

It’s been a while since my last post. Life gets in the way sometimes. We all have the same 1440 minute per day, so today, I made the time to post some of my thoughts about the tumultuous last couple of weeks in the 2024 election season. I started this blog to serve as a […]

Greetings! This is my first post in a long while. I had open-heart surgery last year in addition to finishing a master’s degree, so my focus shifted to recovery and introspection. I will share some insights from my recovery journey and introspection in the coming months. I thank everyone who follows my blog and I […]

Media mogul and CNN founder Ted Turner once said that “life is a game; money is how we keep score”. I don’t necessarily disagree with Mr. Turner because his comment highlights a fundamental outlook that most people have about life, at least subconsciously. However, I posit that most people let money control them rather than […]

It’s been a while since my last post. I don’t want my readers to think I abandoned my blog 😉 I saw a video on YouTube from a relatively new Tuber I subscribed to and I felt compelled to write about the video below in the comments. The channel is Daily Self Improvement Red Pill. […]

I trust that my readers are having a wonderful Thanksgiving 2021 weekend! As I am sure everyone knows, all three men charged with the murder of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia are now convicted of that crime and all face the prospect of life in prison as they enter the sentencing phase. This blog post will […]
