I grew up in the country where we would butcher a chicken to eat from time-to-time. The thing about a chicken is you can hypnotize it to help calm it before bringing down the hatchet. Then the chicken will get up and run around for a moment or two because it hasn’t realized it no… Continue reading We’re the Chicken and We Just Haven’t Realized It Yet

Bringing Down the Republican Party
I keep hearing pundits talking about how this president is bringing down the Republican Party. Interesting how they are giving him so much power. A person only has the power to do such a deed if they give him that power. Every day since the current president announced his candidacy, the Republican Party had the… Continue reading Bringing Down the Republican Party

A-O-C = T-E-A, which spells D-E-F-E-A-T
I’m going to paint with a broad brush with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the face of the movement of incoming House of Representatives freshmen. I understand coming into a leadership position wanting to make a splash. I understand wanting to change the world, and change it quickly. I understand the mistakes of being in ones’ twenties.… Continue reading A-O-C = T-E-A, which spells D-E-F-E-A-T
Menstrual Cycles on Spreadsheets
Have you heard? Scott Lloyd, Director of Office of Refugee Resettlement, had spreadsheets kept of when detained minor immigrant girls had their periods, if they were pregnant, how they became pregnant, and whether the girls had requested an abortion. I find this quite alarming for a number of reasons. Alarming because it seems there were… Continue reading Menstrual Cycles on Spreadsheets
Politicians are NOT Patriots*

There are some politicians who might be patriots, but they don’t appear to push their constituents, businesses, nor other politicians hard enough to do what’s right for us all, in my… Continue reading Politicians are NOT Patriots*
Peaceful Transfer of Power
One of the great things about our democracy is elections. Every few years we the voters, get to go to the polls and cast our vote. We either vote to keep someone in office, or vote to replace the person with someone new. Hopefully, when we cast our vote, we have fully informed ourselves about… Continue reading Peaceful Transfer of Power
How Deep Does It Go?
The following are just my musings and wonderings. They have no basis of fact whatsoever. Ever since the Republicans and Republican leadership started to back this administration, at all seemingly costs, I’ve had several burning questions running through my mind. How deep does the corruption and greed go? What does Putin have on this administration… Continue reading How Deep Does It Go?
National Emergency!
I don’t know about all of you, but I actually am feeling less safe after the White House called a National Emergency. People crossing the border have never worried me. I’ve not worried about anyone from another country taking my job. Hearing languages other than English has not frightened me. Frankly, I didn’t think much… Continue reading National Emergency!
