Be Better Storytellers Dems!

October 16, 2021October 16, 2021 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

I’ve never been shy writing about the weaknesses and poor decisions made by leaders and spokespeople of the Democratic Party. They more often than not, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. In doing so, they often look as if they can get nothing accomplished. Which, more often than not, is true. Universal health care,… Continue reading Be Better Storytellers Dems!

Just So Frustrated

October 9, 2021October 9, 2021 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

We have such a lack of leadership nationally! Gregg Abbott and the Republicans in Texas have passed a law that allow bounty hunters and vigilantism towards citizens exercising their constitutionally guaranteed rights of both body and voting free reign. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito give speeches or statements to the press saying the Supreme… Continue reading Just So Frustrated

Wrong People for These Political Times

October 2, 2021October 2, 2021 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

Every day since the Democrats took power, I wake up feeling a little safer, a little less stressed, and wondering why they still can’t get it together. What I mean by that is we still don’t have so many things that were promised by Biden and the Democrats if they were given the majority power.… Continue reading Wrong People for These Political Times

Volunteer Day

September 25, 2021 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

Today was my last time to volunteer for my youngest’s band invitational. Been going since 7:30 this morning and just got home. No blog post today as brain is fried, and so is my body.

Or What?!

September 4, 2021September 4, 2021 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

Remember when you were young. An adult told you what to do. You looked at them and said, “or what?” It was an immature challenge to see if the adult was serious. In those old days the adult most likely would have given you a swat across the back side, or even a smack across… Continue reading Or What?!

American Women

August 28, 2021August 28, 2021 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

Last week, I wrote about my worry of the Afghan women. The Taliban had retaken Afghanistan, and have stated their plan of returning to a more restrictive government, especially for women. American women have been on my mind this week. I’ve been thinking about my daughter, my mom, my sisters, my nieces, and the many… Continue reading American Women

Afghanistan

August 21, 2021August 24, 2021 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

It only took about a week for the country to fall. All the training the U.S. military provided, and it all crumbled in a matter of days. So many can’t believe it happened so quickly. But, when a country is propping up another, without a change in culture and thinking, once the prop is gone,… Continue reading Afghanistan

“Jesus Still Saves”

August 14, 2021August 18, 2021 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

This morning while driving to my writing group, I passed a church. The marquee on the church read, “Jesus Still Saves.” Now I know nothing about this church. Don’t know its denomination, its affiliations, nor its community service. What I do know is how angry I became after reading those three short words. Words that… Continue reading “Jesus Still Saves”

Breaking Point?

July 29, 2021August 18, 2021 Posted in Frank-ly PoliticsLeave a comment

In today’s America, we workers seem to be expected to continue to give, and give, and give some more, without any real return to us. That is, unless you count being able to keep our jobs. Mental health, physical health, just health in general, doesn’t seem to be a factor. At what point do we,… Continue reading Breaking Point?
