The only conclusion I can come to about recent debates on abortion rights has been these law makers and their voters want to have sex with their daughters. Based on their votes, they also want to be free to have sex with underage girls, the younger the better it seems at times. Why else would… Continue reading Sex with their Daughters

He’s Going to Get Off
United we stand, divided we fall. I don’t think I’ve ever felt like I want to be so wrong about anything than I am about the New York campaign finance fraud case involving Trump. It feels like 2016 all over again when I knew he was going to win over Clinton. After listening to the… Continue reading He’s Going to Get Off
Women of the US: Are You Awake Yet?
My apologies as I know I’m about to put a huge burden on the women of the country. I do so because I don’t trust that the majority of men will step up in the way needed to protect our daughters, granddaughters, aunts, cousins, sisters, and moms in the way needed. If I’m being truly… Continue reading Women of the US: Are You Awake Yet?
It May Already Be Too Late
It May Already Be Too Late Do you ever visit a place in which you lived, or maybe visit where you grew up, only to not fully recognize the place anymore? This has been happening all too often lately. During my last visit to San Francisco, a place I lived for many years, I realized… Continue reading It May Already Be Too Late
Biden: Still Up to the Task?
I’ve been perfectly upfront that I will be voting for Biden and any Democrat on my ballot. He may not be a 10 when it comes to being president, but he is definitely a 10 when compared to the alternative. Biden still has a pretty high belief in democracy and personal freedoms. In 2020, Biden… Continue reading Biden: Still Up to the Task?
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and History
Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. Three simple words that are so triggering for the oppressors, the ignorant, and those who choose to put their head in the sand. Just the mere mention of those words can send Fox viewers, school boards, parents, white supremacists, fascists, non-educated, and others into a tizzy. People who don’t even know the… Continue reading Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and History
How Do We Resist
Across the country, seemingly almost every day, there is a news story or reporting on disruptions at school board, election board, county supervisor, and other meetings. A small group of very vocal people, always inferring they represent a sizable chunk of constituents, spread lies, disinformation, and often threats, to those who oppose their viewpoints. Open… Continue reading How Do We Resist
Kitchen Table Issues
On Thursday we heard an excellent and strong State of the Union address by President Biden. He hit a lot of salient points about the Republic, democracy, domestic and foreign policy, and challenges ahead. Surprisingly he even directly took the Supreme Court to task on decisions they’ve made, specifically the repeal of Roe v Wade.… Continue reading Kitchen Table Issues
Supremely Cowardly Court
Few people would argue our judicial system is broken. Evidence of this is seen every day in terms of how the rich are treated and how those less fortunate are treated. This isn’t really new in our lifetimes, it just has been exponentially worse in our lifetimes. We see this when people of power are… Continue reading Supremely Cowardly Court
Courageously Traditional
While in Portland, one of the books I bought was How Democracies Die: What History Reveals About Our Future (Levitsky and Ziblatt). It was so engaging I almost finished it before I even got home. What struck me the most was how wrong I’ve been thinking about how the Democrats have been governing in the… Continue reading Courageously Traditional
