This will be another post in which I will be transparent. For some readers, what I’m about to say may be upsetting or might even make you mad at me as I’m going to be quite frank and generalize to some degree. I hope you will forgive me in my forthrightness and know that I… Continue reading Sitting on the Sidelines

Record, Report, Resist: Do Not Look Away

All Out of F&*@s This Week
Why am I all out of F&*@s this week (pardon my language mom)? We have corporate media who are not doing their job. Not covering the nationwide protests showing we the people are not happy with the direction the country is heading. Not calling a lie a lie. Not calling for the impeachment of a… Continue reading All Out of F&*@s This Week

My reply was to wonder what happened to decency and people of conscience. It is the loss of those two things that caused me to realize that when I left home… Continue reading Democracy When I Left, Autocracy When I Returned
Disappointed and Disgusted with Dinosaur Democrats
I am a voter who increasingly is finding it hard to remain in the party to which I have identified for over 40 years. Yes, I am an older white guy. But, I’m an older white guy who firmly believes in equity, equality, and the social safety net. These used to be what Democrats stood… Continue reading Disappointed and Disgusted with Dinosaur Democrats
