There comes a time when you have to draw a line and decide what you stand for.
Because if you don’t stand for something, sooner or later you’ll fall for anything.
A Change in Direction
A person must decide where they stand. They also need to consider what they are willing to be connected with. For me, that moment has arrived.
I have made the decision to stop any association with content connected to CBS, CBS News, CNN, FOX, and Flipboard. I can no longer, in good conscience, republish material from these organizations. I also can’t promote content from organizations that use media in ways I find troubling.
For a long time, platforms like these helped distribute news and information across the country. But somewhere along the way, the line between informing the public and shaping narratives seems to have blurred. When that happens, we who value honest storytelling need to pause. We must reassess where we stand.
Because of that, moving ahead, I will no longer republish or share material from these outlets.
Instead, my focus will return to what this site was always meant to be about. It involves preserving stories and documenting real experiences. I will share personal accounts. These personal accounts and kinds of history often get lost in the noise of modern media.
The mission here remains simple:
To tell stories honestly, preserve memories faithfully, and allow readers to think for themselves.
Sometimes the best way to protect the truth is to step away. Avoid places where the truth is no longer treated with the care it deserves.

We urge readers to pay attention. They should ask informed questions. Readers are encouraged to contact elected representatives. It is important to demand oversight that protects both safety and civil liberties. Democracy does not work on autopilot — it requires participation.
