I’m surrounded by dead people; both physically and spiritually. At work or at home, I just can’t escape them. I get emails, instant messages, and other assorted communications on my phone and computer from or about people that died years ago. LinkedIn sends me reminders periodically from people whose funerals I have attended or have…

By The Chief Unless you are related to Aaron Park, you may have heard that disgraced human piece of excrement Jeffrey Epstein died this past weekend. Without wanting to be a conspiracy theorist, I will examine this through an unbiased lens. Epstein “allegedly” committed some heinous crimes towards underage children, involving adults of age. Crimes…
