I realized today I’m going to have to find something else to listen to in the background while I work. Until now my distraction of choice for creating background noise had always been CNN. Not that I find their reporting super accurate or engaging, but it was something I could […]

Ana Navarro strikes again at NCLR
This weekend the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) held their annual conference in Orlando, Florida. As was to be expected, politics was a key topic for most of the event. One of the presenters that really stood out for me was Republican political commentator Ana Navarro. Her speech was […]
Thoughts on the Status of Mexicans in the U.S.A.
