I have a lot of respect for the New York Times. They have gotten it right most of the time, which is why they are called the newspaper of record. So how could they have gotten it so wrong this time? After the New York Times published the anonymous Op-Ed piece, I wasn’t sure what… Continue reading The New York Times Got It Wrong

Do Not Impeach
I’m a die-hard progressive and very liberal, and proud of being so. Our country has only truly moved forward in meeting the ideals of our Constitution by progressive liberals. That said, in November, when the current party becomes the minority party in at least the House of Representatives (and maybe by some miracle, the Senate),… Continue reading Do Not Impeach
Maybe Michael Cohen Likes It?
I’ll start by saying I don’t know Michael Cohen, don’t know anyone who knows Michael Cohen, and this is all purely hypothetical, an alternative reality if you will as there is no proof for this alternative reality. We won’t know the truth until Mr. Cohen tells us. Until then, maybe Michael Cohen likes it. What… Continue reading Maybe Michael Cohen Likes It?
18-24 Year Olds, Please Save Us
We are hearing a lot about the 18-24 year old demographic since the Parkland, FL tragedy. They have become more vocal and put together a March on Washington in a very short time, drawing over 800,000 participants, one of the largest protests in history; this count doesn’t include those who participated around the world. I’m… Continue reading 18-24 Year Olds, Please Save Us
Constitutional Convention—I Think Not
It is interesting, at least to me, that just a few days ago I was speaking with someone about the possibility of a Constitutional Convention being called. This was after I had read about the number of states being lead by Republicans. Then a pop-up asked me to sign a petition regarding stopping a call… Continue reading Constitutional Convention—I Think Not
Paul Ryan Retiring: What Might It Mean
Unless you’ve been hiding in a closet, or are shunning news, you’ve heard Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, Speaker of the House, is retiring. I’ve been wondering what that might mean for the Republicans and Democrats. I may be a liberal Democrat, but I do often admire how Republicans stay on message—right or wrong—and repeat it as… Continue reading Paul Ryan Retiring: What Might It Mean
“Love, Simon” is to be Loved
Richard and I went to see Love, Simon last night. We both enjoyed it. I’ve decided I loved it and highly recommend it to everyone. I’d almost go to say it should be shown to all high school students as it captures the high school life and angst pretty well. The movie has love, drama,… Continue reading “Love, Simon” is to be Loved
Get Ready…The Drum Beat To War Has Begun
As if we didn’t already have enough to worry about with our current president and his administration. You know, the tweets, the harassment of women, buddying up to white nationalists, backing down from the NRA, his family running the country, and least we forget, the lying, lying, lying. Oh, and his inability stand-up to Russia,… Continue reading Get Ready…The Drum Beat To War Has Begun
Hillary, puh-lease…
Hillary, please don’t make me regret voting for you in the 2016 election (although full-disclosure, I was a Bernie person). You lost. For better or for worse, the electorate, through the Electoral College, chose the current administration. I know no one likes to lose and it can make one bitter. Don’t go there. If you… Continue reading Hillary, puh-lease…
Hillary and Melania
Interestingly, Hillary and Melania have been on my mind in recent weeks. I would have to say they became prominent in my mind after the Stephanie Clifford (aka Stormy Daniels) story broke. I’ve been wondering if Hillary has reached out to Melania at all. After all, Melania was not in competition with Hillary, Melanie’s husband… Continue reading Hillary and Melania
