My Second Cup of Coffee: Laughing Parties and Rolling in the Snow
YouTube video by Mark Charles My Second Cup of Coffee: Laughing Parties and Rolling in the Snow

Earlier this week I spoke about how after 2 weeks of cold, freezing, snowy & icy weather our temperatures in DC are finally warming up above freezing. A perfect time to talk about the Navajo traditions of Laughing Parties & rolling in the snow. I invite you to watch.

The American story is comprised of many myths, few of them larger and more widely accepted than the myth of Thanksgiving. I invite you watch this presentation as I share with you the true history of the US and explain why I no longer celebrate Thanksgiving, and neither should you. buff.ly/FoDQuAA

A great way to start learning about the Doctrine of Discovery and its impact on US history is to watch my TEDxTalk! It's called "The Truth Behind 'We the People' the Three Most Misunderstood Words in US History."

Pete Hegseth recently announced a decision on the Medals of Honor for Wounded Knee, stating that the soldiers "deserve those medals" and "their place in our Nation's history is no longer up for debate". I invite you to listen as I discuss the "Shock and Denial" behind this decision.

Recently, over My Second Cup of Coffee, I discussed the "Shock and Denial" that is behind our Nation's inability to rescind its Medals of Honor for the Massacre at Wounded Knee.

Why is our nation "unable" to face its own history? I invite you to watch. buff.ly/8p9JZqE

On this episode of my podcast, I discuss the "Shock and Denial" that is behind our Nation's inability (from both sides of the aisle) to rescind its Medals of Honor for the Massacre at Wounded Knee. Why is our nation "unable" to face its own history? I invite you to listen. buff.ly/FHdBMsY

Over My Second Cup of Coffee I discuss the "Shock & Denial" behind our Nation's inability to rescind it's Medals of Honor for the Massacre at Wounded Knee. Why is our nation "unable" to face its own history? It's a symptom of a much deeper wound. I invite you to join.

In light of our nation's recent decision to not rescind the medals of honor for the soldiers at Wounded Knee, I wanted to share a blogpost I wrote on the topic awhile back. I also will be discussing Wounded Knee on the next episode of My Second Cup of Coffee,
