Just a small respite from politics this week as I’m on vacation. I’ll be back to the usual next week. Here are a few pics from the “happiest” place on earth.
Trump/Epstein Files Hit a Nerve
As much as the Trump administration and his cabinet want the Epstein files to fade into the good night, they aren’t going to fade away. Some of the reasons include the list of people implicated and named in the files, because Trump ran on releasing the full files, and sadly because it is also titillating… Continue reading Trump/Epstein Files Hit a Nerve
Sociopaths, Lapdogs, and Sychopants
Sociopath: a mental health condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. Lapdog: one who follows around another person, and does things to suck up to that person Sycophant: a person who acts as a servant toward someone important in order to… Continue reading Sociopaths, Lapdogs, and Sychopants
Living Among Small Men
Throughout the history of our great nation, there have been men, and women, who have stood out. They made hard decisions when it would have been simpler to take the easy road. Harriet Tubman could have stayed north after reaching freedom, but she chose not to do so. George Washington could have become president for… Continue reading Living Among Small Men
Call It By Its Name
Everyday we hear politicians, reporters, columnists, pundits, and others providing statements or talking points. Rarely do they actually say the words that are truly needed to convey what is occurring here in the United States and abroad. Each of these groups beat around the bush or use nice alternatives rather than just being authentic, being… Continue reading Call It By Its Name
Addiction is Hard to Break
As a society, we are addicted. We are addicted to celebrity news and sports teams even when we will never meet them, nor do they truly care about us other than getting us to watch them so they earn more money. Sadly, most do not do good with the millions (or billions) they earn. We… Continue reading Addiction is Hard to Break
First They Came For…
The alarm thankfully woke me this morning from a nightmare that has lingered long after waking up. I say nightmare, not dream, because it was about what had happened, and was happening, to me at the order of the Republican (Fascist) White House. I was being branded on my forehead with a capital “F” for… Continue reading First They Came For…
Apathy Will be the Death of Us
It has been a few weeks since I last published a post. We had a recent move and I had to regroup to center myself in our new home. I didn’t step away from the news though as there is just too much to stand up against right now. During my hiatus from writing, I… Continue reading Apathy Will be the Death of Us
No Kings Day II
It is truly inspiring to see the pictures and videos posted of the No Kings Day II protests from around the nation, and the world. There are posts from small towns and large cities. From Dothan (AL) to Logan (OH) to Augusta (ME) to Birmingham (AL) to Chicago and NYC. In blue states AND red… Continue reading No Kings Day II
OMG! Grow Up and Wake Up!
Every day our great country goes further down the fascist path. The Republican president is directing the Department of Justice, which used to be an independent agency, to go after anyone who, in his eyes, has wronged him. These include Leticia James, Adam Schiff, Lisa Cook, John Bolton, James Comey, just to name a few.… Continue reading OMG! Grow Up and Wake Up!
