It has been almost a week since white supremacists stormed the Capitol Building. Five people died during that violent riot, one a law enforcement officer who was brutally murdered, and four insurrectionists. We are seeing people being arrested or placed on no-fly lists, and hearing them whining about the fact they are being treated this… Continue reading 50 States + DC

We are there. The line has been crossed. It is time to choose—democracy or autocracy. There is no gray area in this decision. I don’t know why, but I am finding it surprising there is so much soul searching for newspapers, magazines, news agencies, corporations, and elected officials. For me, it is very telling to… Continue reading Democracy or Autocracy

I was going to write about how we already live in a dictatorship of sorts. You know, because a single person in the U.S. House of Representatives can say, “Nah, I don’t want to work over the weekend,” and the House apparently can’t be called into session. On the other side of Congress, one person… Continue reading Yes, This Is Who We Are!

My bubble has been popped. I was certain since the Democrats in the House hadn’t put Articles of Impeachment on the floor for vote before I went to bed, I’d wake up to read the House had stayed late into the night to vote. After all, so many Democrats were saying all day yesterday they… Continue reading Apparently Impeachment Isn’t A Priority After All

When the word may is used, you know nothing is going to happen. It is a word to allow for an out—permission to do nothing. No offense to the word may, but it is such a passive word. A strong bold word is will or shall. When those two words are used, you know something… Continue reading Getting Away With It, As Usual. Surprise, Surprise!

When I woke up this morning, I knew it was going to be a scary day. Hate and white supremacist groups had already hinted at, and blatantly stated, they were going to take action when the Electoral College certification was taking place. It was still shocking, but not surprising when, while on a call with… Continue reading Shocking, but not Surprising

Yet again, our democracy, our Republic, is hanging by a thread. It feels like it has been hanging by a thread for the past three years. It was hanging by a thread during the 2018 congressional elections. Had the Democrats not won the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, there would have been no… Continue reading Hanging by a Thread

Yesterday there were only 152 seditionists. Rather than some of them coming to their senses, another person added their name to the list of trumplicans who will contest the Electoral College votes. Essentially, when they do this on Wednesday, it means they are saying the courts are wrong, the Secretary of States are wrong, Governors… Continue reading 153 Seditionists

When a new OS comes out for an Apple product, I like to be one of the first to download it and see what it offers. To my surprise, when I went to do an update a few days ago, I received an error message stating I didn’t have enough space. Another 35G (yes, Apple’s… Continue reading New Year’s Cleaning

Vacations are for relaxing. A time to read. A time to binge. And I took time over the past few days to relax, to read, and to binge. I relaxed for New Years. Finished two books and started a third, and have gone down the rabbit hole of The Watchmen. Still in the middle of… Continue reading Down a Rabbit Hole
