Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a not yet 60 y/o Divorced Father of three enjoying? an empty nest. i'm not comfortable giving too much personal, but despite living in Md for nearly 40 years i hold strong Conservative and Constitutional values. I only really started closely following politics in the 2000's and made God central to my life in 2008. I've lived an amazing, atypical life, "Big Fish" (movie) type stories with many different chapters. I'm an an ascetic*, semi-retiree that's free to pursue eclectic educational topics, no "social media" or TV, only YouToob, Rumble, and lurking on multiple forums. if you've ever visited "The Saker", to get outside the US media 'bubble', congratulations. I had a history with drugs and alcohol, now my greatest possession is my mind and the ability to think. I've been repeatedly told i have problems communicating, so it's not you. my purpose is to test my understandings by trial of my peers. my most read book is 1984, most quoted movie is Blazing Saddles, you've been warned. "need any help? oh, all i can get..." *Edit: more Epicurus than Diogenes.
