I help clients plan blog content and understand how to connect with readers. I write websites, brochures, billboards, and blog posts. Basically, this means I plan for, create, and manage content for companies in the travel and tech industries. These days, I am mostly a copywriter and content strategist. I’ve been a full-time copywriter and content strategist, a travel guide author, a foreign correspondent for a travel magazine, etc. 2017: In the last five years (and the 10 career years before that), I’ve actually done quite a few different things all centered around writing, strategy, and online marketing. Since then, I’ve mostly been bouncing around Europe (the place I feel most charmed and most at home), though I’ve also spent some time in North and South America.Ģ022: I’ve just celebrated my 10-year anniversary of leaving the US! The last five years have been mostly spent in Europe (including stints in Estonia and Croatia on long-stay visas), and a couple months ago, I got approval for residence in Portugal, which will now be my home base. It was late May 2012 that I locked up the door of my little white-picket-fence house in Denver for the last time and headed abroad. 2017: I just celebrated my five-year anniversary of full-time travel, actually. How long have you been living/working on the road, and where have you traveled to?

Buttigieg reveals himself to be a devotee of literature and history, and his prose reflects that, but he is also determined to paint a picture for the reader of South Bend and the citizens that contribute to its culture, taking the focus off of himself and looking at the world around him, wherever he ends up. But with South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s memoir, Shortest Way Home, Buttigieg seems determined from page one to capture a genuine narrative. Books about politicians that are written by the politician themselves or written with the help of another writer have been common for decades, and often read like an extended resume or social media post. In this political climate, Americans have heard all of the political rhetoric, and have seen a large number of not only Democratic presidential candidates in recent months, but have seen a large number of books about these candidates. DeSantis promised to nullify those efforts. Prior to the takeover by DeSantis appointees, in February 2023, Disney pushed through changes to the special tax district agreement that limit the board’s action for decades. Florida legislators revisited the issue in February 2023, stripping Disney of its special self-governing status and giving DeSantis the authority to appoint a new tourist board with oversight of the area. In April 2022, DeSantis called on the Republican-controlled legislature to abolish the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which it did in a special session. Disney paid taxes to that district, which provided municipal services and exempted it from some regulations. The Florida Legislature created the Reedy Creek Improvement District in 1967 to promote the development of Walt Disney World on a 100sq km (38.5sq miles) of land. What was that special taxing district and why was it set up? He’s appeared on CNN, Fox, Nightline, CBS News/48 Hours, Court TV and more.

Now, are some white Evangelicals probably racist? Sure. That means, a large percentage of the vote is already “baked in.” Therefore, if 24% of white Evangelicals voted for Obama, that is quite telling. You first have to acknowledge the fact that the vast majority of certain voting blocks are going to vote a certain way no matter what (Evangelicals largely vote GOP African Americans largely vote Democrat, etc.). Of course, this claim is pretty much refuted by the fact that 24% of white Evangelicals voted for Obama in 2008. Instead, she reduces everything (in this case) to one reason: white Evangelicals are really racist. Once again, I feel KDM is foregoing any attempt at any real critical analysis regarding Evangelicals’ reaction to Obama. To address this, Obama gave what KDM characterizes as “one of the most powerful speeches of his political career.” In his Obama criticized some of Wright’s language, but said he couldn’t disown Wright, just like he couldn’t disown the black community or his white grandmother, because of them were a part of the America that he loved. KDM points out that white Evangelicals certainly didn’t like Obama’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright, either, especially when preached from the pulpit, “God damn America” and quoted Malcom X.
