I understand Presidents in the past traditionally get the 100 day honeymoon period to set their agenda, get appoints made, etc. This is not a traditional President in any capacity of the phrase. WAKE UP, Democrats! BE the loyal opposition!

This is why I firmly believe in a required course on the Holocaust and genocide in both K-12 and higher education.

It's good for the mind to have a hobby outside of academia, be it your graduate school years or comfortable at your job. Mine is creating music and playing guitar.

History echoes, and I hear the cries of the voiceless scream out.
