To Unfriend or Not to Unfriend, That is the Question
I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time. I think it came to mind when the Access Hollywood tapes came out about grabbing women by the p****. There is no way to write this without offending someone, but I hope they don’t become “snowflakes” about it. Many people whom I have admired or respected,… Continue reading To Unfriend or Not to Unfriend, That is the Question

Senator Warren Does Not Have My Vote for President
I have a lot of respect for Senator Warren. She has fought for the needs of her constituents and the America people. She helped get the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau established. She has been a thorn in the current Administration’s side. For all of this, she deserves a lot of respect. I thank her for… Continue reading Senator Warren Does Not Have My Vote for President
It is now Justice Kavanaugh
I am not happy that Judge Kavanaugh is now Justice Kavanaugh. My opinion has not changed in that I don’t believe he has the temperament nor the neutrality a Supreme Court Justice must have to serve well. However, I was wondering this afternoon after hearing something on the radio. I wonder if he might become… Continue reading It is now Justice Kavanaugh
Another Sad Day in America in a Long Chain of Sad Day’s in America
I am lying in bed and I can’t sleep. I can’t get this political cartoon out of my head. The only thing I think they got wrong in the picture is that one of the hands should be that of a woman since it is many Republican Senate Women who are now going to be… Continue reading Another Sad Day in America in a Long Chain of Sad Day’s in America
Mr. Kavanaugh, It Is Time to Withdraw
Dear Mr. Kavanaugh, I will cut right to the chase. If you had a modicum of dignity and saw the true value of the Judiciary, you would withdraw your name immediately for consideration to the United States Supreme Court. After listening to your testimony at the hearing before members of the Senate last week, you… Continue reading Mr. Kavanaugh, It Is Time to Withdraw
It’s Crunch Time Democrats
The next Congressional Election is right around the corner. Democrats, you have fewer than 60-days to enroll the electorate in agreeing, and accepting, our country is not doing as well as this administration and Congressional delegates on the Republican side say it is. Most people already know this unless they are watching the propaganda television… Continue reading It’s Crunch Time Democrats
What is the meaning of self-worth?
Over the past year I’ve been thinking a lot about self-worth and personal value, even more intensely since moving to Indiana. What is the meaning of self-worth? Is it the size of one’s house? Professional reputation? Standing the community? Annual earnings? Being well-traveled or well-read? What is the meaning of self-worth? Is it the number… Continue reading What is the meaning of self-worth?
The New York Times Got It Wrong
I have a lot of respect for the New York Times. They have gotten it right most of the time, which is why they are called the newspaper of record. So how could they have gotten it so wrong this time? After the New York Times published the anonymous Op-Ed piece, I wasn’t sure what… Continue reading The New York Times Got It Wrong
