Our country has been through many battles and wars. From the American Revolution to the Civil War through World II and Viet Nam. Each of these have taught us more about ourselves as a country, and in some ways, humbled us on the world stage. However, none of the modern day wars diminished our standing… Continue reading Are the Democrats Battle Ready?

While doing some baking today, I had the TV on in the background. I was hoping to catch up on the news about Covid-19, an economic recovery bill, or an update on progress towards the transition from the lame duck to President-elect Biden. Although I would have liked to have some some good investigative journalism… Continue reading Dominated by a Tweet

After several weeks of waiting, we finally have all of our chairs for the dining room table, and finally the bookshelves we’ve wanted for downstairs arrived at IKEA. I took the afternoon and evening to put the four bookshelves together. While doing so, I starting watching a movie. That movie lead to another, and another,… Continue reading A Day for Me

New Oxford American Dictionary: 2. Miserably inadequate, of very low standard. This word keeps coming to my mind as coverage over the Presidential election continues. Each time a new story is broadcast or written, I just can’t think about the stories without thinking of them as pathetic.

We could either accept the loss… Continue reading A Big Ol’ Baby

If anyone thought the lame duck was going to follow the norms and traditions of a candidate who lost their bid for election, I hope you’ve come back from Pollyanna land by now. The lame duck will continue to do what he has been doing for four years, give us all the finger when it… Continue reading Concession Not Necessary

A couple of days ago, I thanked Black women for saving us from tyranny and authoritarian. Another group of much maligned and disrespected people are Black men, Latinas, and other People of Color. Without their votes in key states, and I’ll say all states, we would not have a President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris.… Continue reading Black Men and People of Color: Saviors Too

The day has left me a little scattered. Too many emotions for such a historic day! Congratulations President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris!
