If anyone out there is holding their breath right now, you should probably let it go as we’ve been down this road before. What road you might be asking? It’s the Trump road. The road the press and other talking heads take us down every once in a while to get us to click on… Continue reading Anyone Holding Their Breath?

Nothing New in Politics
As much as most of us would like for politics to be improving all of our lives, it seems for some of us that is not the case. Look to Florida, look to Texas, look to Ohio, even look to Indiana. Women’s rights are in jeopardy with the extreme limits on abortion. Now elected Republicans… Continue reading Nothing New in Politics
Traveling Again
Traveling again to attend my nephew’s dedication (christening). So off to bed early to be able to be wide awake for it tomorrow morning. Happy Saturday everyone.
Joe Biden, Good for Democracy?
Joe Biden was on fire during the State of the Union on Tuesday! One could see he was in his element once he got warmed up. There were a few flops, but there always are during this annual soirée. It was genius, in my opinion, how he handled the juvenile hecklers in the room, and… Continue reading Joe Biden, Good for Democracy?

It takes a lawfully executed search by the Department of Justice to… Continue reading The Fox is in the Hen House

Talk is intensifying about the 2024 Presidential Race. Will it be Biden v Trump? Biden v DeSantis? Harris v Trump or DeSantis? Biden v someone? Of even two as yet unknowns? There is even chatter about whether Kamala will be on the ticket again. Which has made me wonder? What’s up with Kamala Harris? I… Continue reading What’s Up with Kamala Harris?
Election 2022 Is in the Bag
What a week!! The election happened on Tuesday with historic turnouts, election denier losses, and steps towards a more stable democracy across the nation. As the pundits are saying, to paraphrase, looks like there are still a good number of people who believe in democracy. I’ll second that and add I also think a good… Continue reading Election 2022 Is in the Bag
10 Days
Ten days! Ten days until November 8. Ten days until we see if we are to remain a democracy. Ten days until we see if our voting age people are apathetic, or will turn out and send the Big Lie believers into oblivion, thus saving our way of life. I’m not sure which side will… Continue reading 10 Days
