While on Goodreads recently, I saw a friend had read a book called, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, by Isabel Wilkerson. It discusses, or rather compares, the caste system of India with the unspoken, largely denied, caste system of the United States. Our caste system here in the States revolves around the man-made construct… Continue reading All About Caste

All Dressed Up and Nowhere To Go
I’m still fired up from the Democratic National Convention. So much so, as I believe I previously mentioned, I’m making donations to candidates who have a great chance of winning to flip the U.S. House of Representatives and maintain the majority in the Senate. It goes without saying I’ve also donated to the Harris/Walz ticket.… Continue reading All Dressed Up and Nowhere To Go
72 Days and a Wake-up
I don’t know about you but I am fired up! The Democratic National Convention this past week was so lit it was on fire. Speaker after speaker, performer after performer, and vibe after vibe just made me feel joyful, hopeful, and so uplifted. The synergy between Vice President Harris and Governor Walz is just so… Continue reading 72 Days and a Wake-up
Bold or Safe, Which Will It Be?
This coming week, presidential candidate Kamala Harris is expected to make her choice for Vice President. I’ve previously posted who I felt might be in the running: Buttigieg, Beshear, Shapiro, Whitmer, Newsom, and Moore. Two who seem to be on the short list that weren’t on my radar are Tim Walz of Minnesota and Mark… Continue reading Bold or Safe, Which Will It Be?
The Energy Has Shifted
What a week! Last Sunday morning the energy of the country was very heavy. It felt like we were carrying a huge boulder over our heads 24/7. There was a feeling of being lethargic all the time. Who had the energy do anything it was so draining? Then, at 1:46PM Sunday afternoon, something happened. Something… Continue reading The Energy Has Shifted
Should He or Shouldn’t He?
All week this question has been running through my mind, “Should he or shouldn’t he?” The question has plagued me as I thought about Biden, my letter/post of last week, and the past couple of days of Biden campaigning. It was even a bit of the conversation at a Democratic Party meeting I attended this… Continue reading Should He or Shouldn’t He?
An Open Letter to Dr. Jill Biden
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
Sex with their Daughters
The only conclusion I can come to about recent debates on abortion rights has been these law makers and their voters want to have sex with their daughters. Based on their votes, they also want to be free to have sex with underage girls, the younger the better it seems at times. Why else would… Continue reading Sex with their Daughters
He’s Going to Get Off
United we stand, divided we fall. I don’t think I’ve ever felt like I want to be so wrong about anything than I am about the New York campaign finance fraud case involving Trump. It feels like 2016 all over again when I knew he was going to win over Clinton. After listening to the… Continue reading He’s Going to Get Off
It May Already Be Too Late
It May Already Be Too Late Do you ever visit a place in which you lived, or maybe visit where you grew up, only to not fully recognize the place anymore? This has been happening all too often lately. During my last visit to San Francisco, a place I lived for many years, I realized… Continue reading It May Already Be Too Late
