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

I’m not quite sure why, even… Continue reading Our Values Drive Our Priorities: Vaccinations

If we’ve learned anything about him though, Bernie will be back at bat for us in no time at all. So many people think Bernie being a Democratic Socialist is a bad thing. Helping… Continue reading For the Common Good
