https://www.spreaker.com/user/cellardoorskeptics/civics-day Today’s episode is special and one that Tanner felt was needed after a long day of talking to legislators.

This episode will focus on the recent Civic’s Day hosted by CFI Michigan at the Michigan State capitol building. The episode will talk about his experiences, the desire to start working toward changing peopl

Over the last week, Tanner just found out that #45 happened to be talking to a reporter from Fox News Business and happened to express his love for Chocolate Cake. In all fairness who does not like Chocolate Cake, but in this instance, #45 happened to be telling the reporter how he had authorized the Syrian attack.

You would be quite wrong, of course, as I rarely give people exactly what they expect. As an activist, blogger, podcast host, engineer, homeowner, small business owner, husband, responsi

An exploration of Order and Charism as expressions of culture and counter culture: A comparison with Pop music and the Punk Rock Movement.

He said that Jesus was looking out for them because t

As the sun sets upon, or below, a pale blue middle American skyline I am conflicted. Through the quiet chatter of the radio, the dim hum of the television, and the bright colors strewn across the newspaper, today is a day of nationalism, a day of remembrance, and a day ultimately of reflection for me.
