Friday Update

For now, this is not a political blog. I may return to writing about politics in the future. But for now I am going to focus on writing about music, specifically Hip-Hop/Rap.

The truth is not something worth having a debate about. Our country and specifically our government fails when we allow debates about falsehoods and false truths to have weight in a political discussion. As a journalist I cannot continue to write about politics because so many falsehoods are widely believed and there is absolutely no positive outcome to continue to entertain conspiracy theories. That’s what the Republicans are doing. Since they have political standing, they give weight to conspiracy theories and intentional lies. That is not what the First Amendment is about. Or what our country stands for.

On that note, like I said above I’m taking a break from writing about politics.
