My husband asked for tickets to go see To Kill a Mockingbird for Christmas. It was a small ask, so we got tickets to go late in January. I knew it was a famous book, the only book by Harper Lee, but knew nothing more about it, which feels a little disappointing to say after… Continue reading The Battle Was Won, but the War Continues

106,298
106,298 seems like a very large number when used without any context, but yet the mainstream media is acting as if it is 100 million. Please forgive me as we go through some math. The next figure to contemplate is 752,249. A much larger figure of which 106,298 is just 14.1%, again not a very… Continue reading 106,298
People Are Going to Go Through Some Things: Murder
We seem to be entering the next phase of authoritarianism and Facism. In court this week, a lawyer actually stood before a judge and stated the President of the United States essentially has blanket immunity. The only way to stop a President is be impeached in the House and convicted in the Senate. Then, and… Continue reading People Are Going to Go Through Some Things: Murder
Women: Time to Fear, Time to Unite
As a brother, as an uncle, and most importantly, as a father, every day I fear for my mom, my sisters, my nieces, my aunts, and most importantly, my daughter. I fear what the future holds in terms of their freedom to make choices for themselves, whether it be to work or not, to marry… Continue reading Women: Time to Fear, Time to Unite
December 31, 2024
As 2023 comes to a close, my mind has wandered to where we will be as a nation at the end of 2024. I wonder because 2024 is a presidential election year. The last one in 2020 just didn’t go so well, ending with an insurrection and the continuation of the slow crawl towards a… Continue reading December 31, 2024
The Devil’s Reach is Long and Deep
I am in the camp that President Biden should step aside and not run for re-election. Not because he is doing poorly, but because he is over 80. He has been a highly effective president steering us from the brink of collapse in many variety of ways. However, he could live to be 110 or… Continue reading The Devil’s Reach is Long and Deep
Dumb, Corrupt, or Both?
This tweet came across my feed yesterday: This is not the first time a tweet of this sort has shown up on my feed, but it is the first time I’ve thought anything about it. Usually I keep scrolling as it just seems like a click-bait kind of post. Not this time. This time it… Continue reading Dumb, Corrupt, or Both?
When Will the Democrats Ever Learn?!
The Democrats haven’t learned. Again! Words matter! We live in a society bombarded with slogans, acronyms, and emojis. Any of these can be turned into a political ad within hours, if not minutes. Words resonate and have meanings, and there aren’t as many people anymore who take the time to stop and reflect on what… Continue reading When Will the Democrats Ever Learn?!
Leaders of Conscience, Why Have You Forsaken Us?
“Come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded, and I will refresh you.” (Matthew 11:28) Jesus was a protester (Luke 4:16-31, Matthew 4:23-25, Luke 5:15, Mark 2:1-12, Luke 11, John 5:16, Mark 3:1-6, Matthew 5-7, Matthew 11:20-30, Luke 7, Luke 11, Matthew 9:35, Matthew 13:56-58, Matthew 10, John 4; Matthew 9:2-8). The Jesus… Continue reading Leaders of Conscience, Why Have You Forsaken Us?
Democrats: Where are you?!
Too often I ask myself, where are our elected Democrats? We have a pandemic, massive protests, and rioting occurring right now in our nation! Now is the time to be with the people—not speaking to us on TV, not tweeting, not Zooming, not doing robocalls or e-mails. We need you with we the people. We… Continue reading Democrats: Where are you?!
