Thoughts and Opinions as I Grow Older

Month: October 2020

History Doesn’t Forget

October 21, 2020October 22, 2020 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Within the next few days the Senate will take up the vote to formally consent to Amy Coney Barrett taking a seat on the United States Supreme Court. We are well aware how hypocritical this vote is going to be. Many senators are going against their own stance of four years ago when they refused… Continue reading History Doesn’t Forget

Brain Break

Need a moment to decompress for the evening. Be back tomorrow. If you haven’t voted yet, please make your plan, and then vote in the way that works best for you.

Hard to Compute and Process

October 19, 2020October 19, 2020 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

As we get closer to the election, more people I know are letting it be known subtlely, and not so subtlely, their support of the incumbent. Even now, even this far into this administration, I still find it hard to compute and process how they are supporting the incumbent. We all can see the same… Continue reading Hard to Compute and Process

Why I Voted Biden/Harris

October 18, 2020October 18, 2020 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

A friend, who supports the incumbent, made mention of Biden supporters never saying why they are voting for him, just putting down the incumbent. I will freely admit I would most likely have voted for any Democrat in order to remove the want-to-be authoritarian from office. Even as an imperfect country, I do not want… Continue reading Why I Voted Biden/Harris

What is Truth?

October 17, 2020October 17, 2020 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Truth. What is truth anymore? Is it what we see on TV? Is it what we read online? Is it the words printed in the newspaper? It is what friends and family tell us in person or via comments on social media, or the many other ways to communicate? Who do we believe when a… Continue reading What is Truth?

Constitutional Originalists

October 16, 2020October 16, 2020 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Honestly, how many of us had ever heard the term “originalists” until this past week? I’ll answer honestly, I hadn’t. I’d heard Federalist before, but originalists was a new one. And, based on what it means, it is not a good one to know along with being very bad for most Americans. In reading the… Continue reading Constitutional Originalists

Whatever It Takes, Please Vote

Listen to the Words

October 14, 2020October 14, 2020 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

I have always loved words. Friday spelling tests were well worth the wait. Misspelled words, especially in classrooms are a pet peeve of mine. Which is why some words of late have been most intriguing. “Person, woman, man, camera, TV?” These words made the most “powerful” man in the world seem the fool. “Stand back… Continue reading Listen to the Words

To Those Who Resist

October 13, 2020October 13, 2020 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

Tonight I just want to say a simple, but with deep appreciation, thank you to the many thousands of people who stood in hours’ long lines in several states to vote. It is because of your dedication to change, and your resistance to the attempt to suppress your vote, that will help take us across… Continue reading To Those Who Resist

trumpists Health Care Plan

October 12, 2020October 12, 2020 Posted in Being Frank About LifeLeave a comment

For a good many weeks, and actually years now, we keep being told by the trumpists, they will release their health care plan within the next two weeks. You know, the one that will replace the current Affordable Care Act (ACA), aka Obamacare, that will be bigger, better, and cheaper. It dawned on me this… Continue reading trumpists Health Care Plan
