We are finally at the end point. On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, we will begin to have an inkling of what kind of country we will be living in come January 20, 2025. It will be either a Democracy or an Autocracy. We will have our first Black/Indian Woman president, or we will have an… Continue reading Democracy or Autocracy?

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
Men, Ready for More Responsibility?
At first I was thinking this might be geared more to Trumpist-Republican men since they are being supportive of candidate Trump. But the more I thought about it, I realized this applies to at the very least, to all cis-gendered males in the United States. I say that because the policies of Project 2025 will… Continue reading Men, Ready for More Responsibility?
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
Freedom for All, or Freedom for Some?
The Harris/Walz campaign has latched onto the freedom moniker, and rightfully so. We are in dire need of a frank discussion on freedom in light of Project 2025, the Trumpist’s, and so many elected Republicans, especially at the state level, working tirelessly to end freedom. Well, end freedoms for those who aren’t white, heterosexual, Christian,… Continue reading Freedom for All, or Freedom for Some?
Infiltration at the Highest Levels
We can’t start this week without at least a little mention about the debate this past week between the presidential candidates, Mr. Trump and Vice President Harris. To put it mildly, it was a shellacking by Harris. Trump looked mad, arrogant, and old on that stage. The words spewing from his mouth were the same… Continue reading Infiltration at the Highest Levels
All About Caste
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
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
