More and more of you are saying, “I didn’t vote for that!” As a never Trumper from the beginning, I keep wondering, what did you think you were voting for when you voted for him? This is a serious question as he laid out exactly what he was going to do. Trump, his campaign team,… Continue reading Dear Trump Voter…

Raise Your Hand If
There were so many things on my mind to write about this week—military spending, norms, voter suppression, gullibility, history and so much more—it was hard to decide which topic to choose. I’ve settled on labor and food supply. Some of what I’m about to say may seem controversial and has the potential to be interpreted… Continue reading Raise Your Hand If
No Consequences, No Lessons Learned
As human beings, we seem to innately want to push boundaries and to get what we want when we want. However, our parents, friends, bosses, and other people, help us learn there are expectations within our homes and within society in which we must live. This is often through trial and error, and positive and… Continue reading No Consequences, No Lessons Learned
The Power of Chaos
History is repeating itself in many ways. No need to beat around the bush, we are following the Nazi playbook as a nation almost verbatim. Sadly, the Republicans, as a party, is allowing it to happen hook, line, and sinker. Today was another day of working to create chaos and stress for millions of people.… Continue reading The Power of Chaos
Will Good People Stand Up and Stand Strong?
If you haven’t heard, there is a recycled person in the Whitehouse. #47, an adjudicated rapist and 34-count felon, took the Oath of Office again, without his hand on the Bible. Based on his actions this week, he has no intention, again, of living up to the words said during the swearing in ceremony. He… Continue reading Will Good People Stand Up and Stand Strong?
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
American Folk Hero?
Andrea Chalupa (whose former partner was Sarah Kendzior) has a podcast called Gaslit Nation. It should come as no surprise, it is a very liberal progressive show intent on saving democracy around the world. As the sole host now, Andrea is an experienced journalist and filmmaker. She and her many guests are knowledgable on world… Continue reading American Folk Hero?
It’s About Our Character, Not His
First, let’s agree on at least this one premise. No political candidate is perfect. All candidates make campaign promises they don’t have the power to implement. There will always be disagreements about policy decisions, such as abortion and foreign aid. Those are things one can debate and maybe even agree to disagree. All of the… Continue reading It’s About Our Character, Not His
A Very Simple Question for Hurricane Survivors
The simple question is, do you want to recover and live, or believe the lies and possibly die? The Republican candidate for president, Donald Trump, as we have seen time and time again, is lying again. This time about hurricane relief. He is saying there has been a bad response by the Biden administration. He… Continue reading A Very Simple Question for Hurricane Survivors
“You were not going to fact check”
Hopefully you were able to watch the Vice Presidential Debate earlier this week. It was definitely a far cry from how the Presidential Debate went, and far less consequential, maybe. I say maybe because we must keep in mind the Vice President is the person who will take over in the event the President is… Continue reading “You were not going to fact check”
