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

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
Women of the US: Are You Awake Yet?
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
Supremely Cowardly Court
Few people would argue our judicial system is broken. Evidence of this is seen every day in terms of how the rich are treated and how those less fortunate are treated. This isn’t really new in our lifetimes, it just has been exponentially worse in our lifetimes. We see this when people of power are… Continue reading Supremely Cowardly Court
The Battle Was Won, but the War Continues
My husband asked for tickets to go see To Kill a Mockingbird for Christmas. It was a small ask, so we got tickets to go late in January. I knew it was a famous book, the only book by Harper Lee, but knew nothing more about it, which feels a little disappointing to say after… Continue reading The Battle Was Won, but the War Continues
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
The Devil’s Reach is Long and Deep
I am in the camp that President Biden should step aside and not run for re-election. Not because he is doing poorly, but because he is over 80. He has been a highly effective president steering us from the brink of collapse in many variety of ways. However, he could live to be 110 or… Continue reading The Devil’s Reach is Long and Deep
