Dear Dr. Biden, The American people need help that only you can provide. We need to ask you to be self-aware enough to help your husband, President Biden to become both self-aware and humble as we move through the 2024 election cycle. In order to save democracy, we need your husband to step aside and… Continue reading An Open Letter to Dr. Jill Biden

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
President Biden, Time for Garland to Go
If you are like me, I had an emotional reaction to the nomination of Merrick Garland as the U.S. Attorney General. It felt a little like retribution for the slight given to him by Mitch McConnell when Obama nominated Garland as a Supreme Court justice. So many of us thought with Garland, the insurrectionists and… Continue reading President Biden, Time for Garland to Go
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
An Evening of Mixed Emotions
Watching the primary returns this evening has been a bag of mixed emotions. Sad because Pete Buttigieg wasn’t a part of the excitement. Happy that Amy Klobuchar had suspended her candidacy. Frustrated that so many people voting today had unnecessary long waits due to the lack of enough voting machines or precincts for the number… Continue reading An Evening of Mixed Emotions
“On Tyranny: Beware the One-Party State” (Snyder)
I am purposefully skipping Chapter 2 of On Tyranny for the moment as I have a little more research to do before posting about it. Chapter 3 is Beware the One-Party State. If you are paying attention and are woke, you will see we are quickly moving in this direction. Yes, we currently have two… Continue reading “On Tyranny: Beware the One-Party State” (Snyder)
Where Have All Our Leaders Gone? Repost
After the events of today with Devin Nunes and the apparent installation of a Trumpist loyalist as the Director of National Intelligence, meaning another part of our government is now compromised, I felt an old post is even more relevant today than it was just a few months ago. Where Have All Our Leaders Gone?
This is an Appropriate Response to Trumpism
Tami Burages (@tmurages) hit it out of the park with the following Twitter thread. This is what a response to Trumpism and AG Barr should have looked like in a truly functioning Democratic Republic and a Fourth Pillar seeking the truth to protect the Constitution. This is what we should demand and expect from our… Continue reading This is an Appropriate Response to Trumpism
All Heil King Trump I
Doesn’t roll off the tongue does it? Regardless, get used to it. With the Senate vote of January 31, 2020, we now live in a monarchy at best, a dictator at worst. If a monarchy, it won’t be the type we associate with Queen Elizabeth II, a constitutional stickler, but more of an Ivan the… Continue reading All Heil King Trump I
