This is a mash-up from the past few months. Time to get up for work. We roll out of our nice comfy bed to get ready. Thousands of children in U.S. detention camps are trying to stay warm under inhumane conditions. It doesn’t matter, they aren’t our children. As we shower, Rudy Giuliani is working… Continue reading A Day in the Life of the 99%

Dear Mayor Pete
Dear Mayor Pete, Full disclosure: You were not my first or even my second choice of candidate for President. Beto O’Rourke was first, Elizabeth Warren was second. Luckily, one of my former coworkers is from South Bend and keep saying I needed to check you out by reading your book. Which I did (actually I… Continue reading Dear Mayor Pete
Patriots Punished by Puerile Protagonist
Today’s post is in honor of three people, two who honored the rule of law and answered subpeona’s, and one who unfortunately became collateral damage. Please thank them for their service and for showing how an honorable citizen behaves.

Damn, Democratic Party Leadership! Get It Together!
I’m starting to wonder if you really want to beat Trump in November, take the Senate, and keep the House, because you sure aren’t acting like it. First, there were 25+ people running for office. That is a whole lot of ego in one field. Hurray, we have a great field from which to choose!… Continue reading Damn, Democratic Party Leadership! Get It Together!
Apathy Be Thy Name and Enemy
Where do you think this protest is taking place? New York? Los Angeles? Chicago? Miami? Columbus? Indianapolis? Don’t we wish! This is a protest, just one day out of month’s long protests in Hong Kong. Their government was trying to take rights away from them and they weren’t having any of it. We have an… Continue reading Apathy Be Thy Name and Enemy
Time for the Fourth Pillar to Stand-up to Do Right
We are at the point where our Democracy, our Republic, our Country is about to be legally handed over to a tyrant, an authoritarian, a dictator, a Trumpist. The House of Representatives has done its part. Brave witnesses have done their part. Protesters have done a part. Constituents have done their part. Now it is… Continue reading Time for the Fourth Pillar to Stand-up to Do Right
State of the Union Guest Wish List
Democrats seem to finally be standing up to Mr. Trump effectively. It is now time to continue that momentum in exposing Mr. Trump as the fraud he is, and a man with a low level of integrity and morality. I’m not sure how the visitor gallery invites work, but here is my wish list of… Continue reading State of the Union Guest Wish List
All Heil King Trump I
Doesn’t roll off the tongue does it? Regardless, get used to it. With the Senate vote of January 31, 2020, we now live in a monarchy at best, a dictator at worst. If a monarchy, it won’t be the type we associate with Queen Elizabeth II, a constitutional stickler, but more of an Ivan the… Continue reading All Heil King Trump I
The Deplorable Among Us Have Won
Until today, I’ve not used that term really. However, it seems the most appropriate today. The deplorable of today are women who voted for a man who feels okay grabbing a woman by the pussy and a party that believes it should be able to control a woman’s body. It is a FBI director who… Continue reading The Deplorable Among Us Have Won
The United States Constitution Experiment is Failing
https://2vwlfu3ynqxb3npfhm3m8lde-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/lady-liberty-weeping.jpg Although I have felt our Democracy, our Republic, has been failing for a long time, it has become even more evident as I have been watching the impeachment of President Trump. When the President carte blanched people not to answer lawful subpoenas and Republicans did nothing, we the people did nothing, and the courts… Continue reading The United States Constitution Experiment is Failing
