  Our entire modern world is held up by two kinds of institutions: private and governmental.  When looking at reach of the government, in the USA’s early years it was weak  especially by today's standards.  Over time private institutions grew while governmental ones stayed relatively the same.  This allowed private institutions to take advantage of the everyday person as industry in the United Stages grew. At the time politicians cared more about growing American industry than they did about the rights of the working and everyday people. It was eventually through democracy that governmental institutions grew and private ones became checked. It’s not a coincidence that as these institutions  have been built up that life has gotten better for the vast majority of people. Now don’t give me wrong, there’s a lot of really bad companies in pretty much every aspect of our economy.  Corporations  employ lobbyists that keep feeding corruption within our go...

Buckle up everyone, this year is gonna be a politically draining one! This year the majority of the world population is going to be living under a government with major elections this year.  This decade has so far been a rocky and simmering one. With new wars and conflicts popping up and divisive politics playing out in different world “theatres.” For example, Asia is dealing with Chinese and DPRK aggression; Europe is dealing with the Russian War on Ukraine, Grain and supply issues, immigratio, etc.; Africa has experienced a series of anti democratic coups in various nations with fighting breaking out in Sudan. The Midde East ramped up wildly in tensions on October 7th and has yet to simmer down any, if at all; finally the US is internally dealing with deviaive politics regarding both domestic and foreign affairs. Most people moderately tuned into news would agree things have been steadily getting crazier here in the United States. It seems like no matter the winner of the preside...

The way it stands now there is a small group of representatives in the Republican caucus that  has continuously refused to back the most popular republican candidate during each vote. The numbers vary, but so far none of them have been able to hit 218 on the floor.  Several  different candidates have been offered and failed time and time again the most recent one of this writing being Tom Emmer from Minnesota, and although being from Minnesota - I am definitely biased in this regard, but I truly did think that Tom Emmer was the best choice of the floated options. The Republican caucus does not feel the same though, each new candidate getting less and less votes each time within the private conference. (They need 218 on the floor but 109 in the caucus I believe)  In my view, there are only a few different paths they can be taken.  1. The US house will be ineffective until next session without a speaker being elected or a temp speaker being designated to hold...

 This is the makeup of the Minnesota state legislature every year since cold-war politics began.      When you look at this chart you notice a few things. The first is that there are three years of solid Democratic control. The next is the lack of any Republican control. At least one point, Minnesota has had a Republican Governor, a Republican led Senate, and a led House. Sometimes two of the three, but never all three at once.       This has made it so there has never been a rapid push of Republican policy that hasn't had Democratic say. Even when both legislative bodies were controlled by the GOP, the governor still had veto power, which without 2/3 majorities in both bodies meant the governor could still stop bills and because of this, it made bills more bipartisan.       I should need to also quickly mention the Ventura years,  with this kind of situation it is a blessing for true bipartisanship. Since Jesse Ventura wa...
