Small businesses are the heart of our economy, but it's getting harder to start and grow one—and the challenges are even greater for communities of color. I've got a comprehensive plan to boost America's small businesses.

I encountered a woman of color being accosted by police officers last summer and walked up and began filming with my phone camera. They asked why I approached, and I stated, “to make sure her civil rights are upheld.” They left me to continue recording. That’s how it’s done.

Having dug at Megiddo for a season many many years ago, the 17 layers dating back to the Early Bronze always fascinated me.
But there was always a ring of skepticism that came with the claims that “civilization” started in the Middle East.

In order to have economic viability in the frame of how we are taught, we need education.
Why would we want education to be optional? Having a smarter is a stronger America. Perhaps our citizens could learn critical thinking and not fall prey to conspiracies.

Police should be trained better in non violent interventions to forgo the NEED for guns under most circumstances.
