Dear Jennifer,
I was relaxing at home late tonight, around 2 a. M., after a day spent writing for my website, genxchronicle.com. We cover news, culture and lifestyle through a Generation X lens. I also did some work emails, and some tasks around the house as well.… Continue Reading
Gen X Chronicle brings you the latest installment of Today in Trump Land, where we chronicle the doings, comings and goings of the Trump Administration. I say comings and goings because no other American Presidential administration has had such a high rate of turnover as the current one.… Continue Reading
I wake up late, around 2 p.m., on a Wednesday in March after writing two genxchronicle.com stories. One is about Rex Tillerson’s firing as Secretary of State, and one is about the significance of the time 11:11.

It’s 6:23 a.m. on a Sunday in March, and I’ve been up all night working, the usual writer’s life stuff. I wrote a long post about my celebration last night in a Queens bar for the publication of my first two ebooks, which are about life with my wonderful but shy cat Copper.… Continue Reading

Virtually all American political leaders knew he did not, as did the mass media, and a good portion of American citizens on the political left.… Continue Reading
On Tuesday, President Trump is scheduled to meet with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The Crown Prince is seeking further US aid to the Kingdom to support its brutal, indiscriminate air campaign in Yemen.

It’s 9:49 p.m. on Thursday March 8th, and I’ve been unwinding for a little while after a long day working on genxchronicle.com. I spent the past few hours trying to figure out how to get all my blog posts up on Instagram.… Continue Reading
