  • The Dark Side of AI

    Is our intelligence being metered? 🔌🧠 ​We’re living in a strange era where the very things meant to “expand” our minds might actually be shrinking them. We are watching a perfect storm of cognitive decline, and it’s time to start sounding the alarm. 🚨 We’re seeing a generation being raised to outsource their thinking before…

  • Why I’m Raising My Children to See Beyond the Narrative​

    From Channel One to Total Silence I remember sitting in my middle school classroom following the 9/11 era, watching Channel One News. Even then, there was likely a layer of propaganda, but at least we were given a window into the world. Today? Our schools are often so preoccupied with being “politically correct” that our…

  • The Propaganda Machine is Failing Us

    I’m done. Actually, let’s be real, I checked out of the absolute circus that is mainstream cable news a long time ago. Whether it’s CNN, MSNBC, or Fox News, it’s painfully obvious they aren’t reporting the truth; they are just manufacturing a script. On my Next Gen page, we’ve talked about Robert Maxwell, the man…

  • Our Tax Dollars, Their Secrets

    The $18 Million Cover-Up It’s hard to find the words when you realize exactly how your hard-earned money is being spent in Washington. As a mama, a taxpayer, and a proud Iowan, I’m used to hearing that there’s “no room in the budget.”​ We’re told there isn’t enough for our local public schools. There isn’t…

  • The Price of a War That Isn’t Ours

    I remember exactly where I was as an adolescent when the “Forever Wars” began after 9/11. We were told it was about safety, about “weapons of mass destruction,” about protecting our way of life.​ Now, I look at my oldest daughter, who is an adolescent herself, and I feel a sickening sense of déjà vu.…

  • ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

    𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗠 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘.​ 🇺🇸 I am sitting here looking at the news, and my heart is breaking. They are reporting that dozens of little girls, more than 100, were killed today when a school was hit during the strikes in Iran.​ This is nuts. As a mother and as a human being, this is unnecessary,…

  • Why the “Billionaire Class” Wants Your Child’s Screen

    Throughout my cancer journey, I started having visions and thoughts about the future so much so that I started writing about it. It eventually developed into a fictional, sci-fi, dystopian novel based on my medical trauma that is in the works… more to come on that later. 👀 But one of the things I’ve imagined…

  • Where is the OUTRAGE?!

    In England, the King is calling for his own brother’s prosecution. In Norway, the Princess is being stripped of support. 🌍​ ​But in America? Our government is running cover for elite pedophiles until people like Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie force their hand. ​There is NO accountability for the ‘Epstein Class’ in the…
