My apologies as I know I’m about to put a huge burden on the women of the country. I do so because I don’t trust that the majority of men will step up in the way needed to protect our daughters, granddaughters, aunts, cousins, sisters, and moms in the way needed. If I’m being truly… Continue reading Women of the US: Are You Awake Yet?

Kitchen Table Issues
On Thursday we heard an excellent and strong State of the Union address by President Biden. He hit a lot of salient points about the Republic, democracy, domestic and foreign policy, and challenges ahead. Surprisingly he even directly took the Supreme Court to task on decisions they’ve made, specifically the repeal of Roe v Wade.… Continue reading Kitchen Table Issues
106,298
106,298 seems like a very large number when used without any context, but yet the mainstream media is acting as if it is 100 million. Please forgive me as we go through some math. The next figure to contemplate is 752,249. A much larger figure of which 106,298 is just 14.1%, again not a very… Continue reading 106,298
People Are Going to Go Through Some Things: Murder
We seem to be entering the next phase of authoritarianism and Facism. In court this week, a lawyer actually stood before a judge and stated the President of the United States essentially has blanket immunity. The only way to stop a President is be impeached in the House and convicted in the Senate. Then, and… Continue reading People Are Going to Go Through Some Things: Murder
December 31, 2024
As 2023 comes to a close, my mind has wandered to where we will be as a nation at the end of 2024. I wonder because 2024 is a presidential election year. The last one in 2020 just didn’t go so well, ending with an insurrection and the continuation of the slow crawl towards a… Continue reading December 31, 2024
Dumb, Corrupt, or Both?
This tweet came across my feed yesterday: This is not the first time a tweet of this sort has shown up on my feed, but it is the first time I’ve thought anything about it. Usually I keep scrolling as it just seems like a click-bait kind of post. Not this time. This time it… Continue reading Dumb, Corrupt, or Both?
Things that Make One Go, “Hmmmm!”
While perusing Facebook earlier today, I saw a post by a Mr. Smith about liberals and the man (the man) in the Oval Office. It appears Trumpists, and supporters of Trumpists, are wanting to have the post go viral by saying the post was going viral. I don’t know if it is or not, but… Continue reading Things that Make One Go, “Hmmmm!”
We Can Walk and Chew Gum at the Same Time
Main stream media, we, the consumer of your news, can walk and chew gum at the same time! In case you needed reminding. I know the Coronavirus has us all on edge. This is the biggest story you will most likely ever cover. I get that, and there is a whole lot of other things… Continue reading We Can Walk and Chew Gum at the Same Time
First Voter Suppression, Now Voting Delays
I was going to write about the proposed “Coronavirus” reaction bill, but the delayed primary in Louisiana kept staying on my mind. With voter suppression happening all over the country by closing some precincts, limiting voting machines, reducing early voting days, and such, anything to do with voters always grabs my attention. On Friday, March… Continue reading First Voter Suppression, Now Voting Delays
