At first I was thinking this might be geared more to Trumpist-Republican men since they are being supportive of candidate Trump. But the more I thought about it, I realized this applies to at the very least, to all cis-gendered males in the United States. I say that because the policies of Project 2025 will… Continue reading Men, Ready for More Responsibility?

A Very Simple Question for Hurricane Survivors
The simple question is, do you want to recover and live, or believe the lies and possibly die? The Republican candidate for president, Donald Trump, as we have seen time and time again, is lying again. This time about hurricane relief. He is saying there has been a bad response by the Biden administration. He… Continue reading A Very Simple Question for Hurricane Survivors
“You were not going to fact check”
Hopefully you were able to watch the Vice Presidential Debate earlier this week. It was definitely a far cry from how the Presidential Debate went, and far less consequential, maybe. I say maybe because we must keep in mind the Vice President is the person who will take over in the event the President is… Continue reading “You were not going to fact check”
A Tiny Break from Politics
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.
Freedom for All, or Freedom for Some?
The Harris/Walz campaign has latched onto the freedom moniker, and rightfully so. We are in dire need of a frank discussion on freedom in light of Project 2025, the Trumpist’s, and so many elected Republicans, especially at the state level, working tirelessly to end freedom. Well, end freedoms for those who aren’t white, heterosexual, Christian,… Continue reading Freedom for All, or Freedom for Some?
Infiltration at the Highest Levels
We can’t start this week without at least a little mention about the debate this past week between the presidential candidates, Mr. Trump and Vice President Harris. To put it mildly, it was a shellacking by Harris. Trump looked mad, arrogant, and old on that stage. The words spewing from his mouth were the same… Continue reading Infiltration at the Highest Levels
All About Caste
While on Goodreads recently, I saw a friend had read a book called, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, by Isabel Wilkerson. It discusses, or rather compares, the caste system of India with the unspoken, largely denied, caste system of the United States. Our caste system here in the States revolves around the man-made construct… Continue reading All About Caste
All Dressed Up and Nowhere To Go
I’m still fired up from the Democratic National Convention. So much so, as I believe I previously mentioned, I’m making donations to candidates who have a great chance of winning to flip the U.S. House of Representatives and maintain the majority in the Senate. It goes without saying I’ve also donated to the Harris/Walz ticket.… Continue reading All Dressed Up and Nowhere To Go
72 Days and a Wake-up
I don’t know about you but I am fired up! The Democratic National Convention this past week was so lit it was on fire. Speaker after speaker, performer after performer, and vibe after vibe just made me feel joyful, hopeful, and so uplifted. The synergy between Vice President Harris and Governor Walz is just so… Continue reading 72 Days and a Wake-up
Time with Our Tribes
Throughout most of our lives, as birthday’s get closer, there is one question always asked, “What do you want for your birthday?” When we are young, the list of things flows freely from our mouths. As we age, that list gets shorter and shorter, until one day, there is no list. The age at which… Continue reading Time with Our Tribes
