Andrew Taban | Pride, Anger and an American Dream in Freefall

Hello reader, and welcome to the month of June …or shall I say Happy Pride Month! We can also say Happy Immigrant Heritage Month, Happy National Safety Month, Happy Men’s Mental Health Month, Happy PTSD Awareness Month. 

However, I’m sure some of you never actually cared about those, but just wanted to say “where is *insert something making yourself feel superior* month!?” 

So if that’s the case, I look forward to reading your never-satisfied-with-anything-in-life letter to the editor. 

For the rest of you, enjoy whatever you choose to celebrate!

It’s been yet another month full of something, and I continue to wonder if we are actually winning? 

I keep hearing that we’re going to, but somehow we haven’t won a war that didn’t need to happen, we aren’t winning on the price of goods, and we certainly aren’t winning at the gas pump. 

But hey, they showed us liberals! Well, sort of, until this election.

I keep hearing how Republicans dominated at the polls, but as the votes continue to be counted in counties with populations larger than some states, that win seems to dwindle. 

Even in races with Republicans in the lead, when you add up all the Democratic votes, the Republican hardly squeaks out. 

I guess we’ll see what November brings!

I........
