The Republicans have been working hard to disenfranchise and suppress voters across the country for years. They have purged millions of blacks from voters roles. They have written laws to block formerly incarcerated people from voting, even after release and having served their debt to society. They are creating obstacles when it comes to identification… Continue reading Men Only: Women Not Welcome

New Cabinet Member, BigBalls, First Casualty?
This week, unelected President Musk, unelected Vice President Russell Vought, and their elected Administrative Assistant Trump, and their non-confirmed cabinet members—Gavin Kliger (Age 25), Ethan Shaotran (Age 22), Edward Coristine (Age 19), Luke Farritor (Age 23), Gautier Cole Killian (Age 24), Akash Bobba (Age 21)—had a little hiccup in their war on democracy. Apparently, Coristine,… Continue reading New Cabinet Member, BigBalls, First Casualty?
Just Let It All Burn!
Elected Democrats and other Democratic leaders seem to have taken, just let it all burn, on as their motto. From my viewpoint, since they didn’t win they seem to be acting like Cartman from South Park, with his catchphrase, “Screw you guys, I’m going home.” Feels like they are just fine with letting the country… Continue reading Just Let It All Burn!
The Power of Chaos
History is repeating itself in many ways. No need to beat around the bush, we are following the Nazi playbook as a nation almost verbatim. Sadly, the Republicans, as a party, is allowing it to happen hook, line, and sinker. Today was another day of working to create chaos and stress for millions of people.… Continue reading The Power of Chaos
Will Good People Stand Up and Stand Strong?
If you haven’t heard, there is a recycled person in the Whitehouse. #47, an adjudicated rapist and 34-count felon, took the Oath of Office again, without his hand on the Bible. Based on his actions this week, he has no intention, again, of living up to the words said during the swearing in ceremony. He… Continue reading Will Good People Stand Up and Stand Strong?
Democracy When I Left, Autocracy When I Returned
Earlier this week I was talking to a friend. She was expressing her concern for the employees of a large employer in my state. My reply was to wonder what happened to decency and people of conscience. It is the loss of those two things that caused me to realize that when I left home… Continue reading Democracy When I Left, Autocracy When I Returned
There’s A Sucker Born Every Minute
Please excuse my word choice, but it seems appropriate for the times. While growing up, I would hear the saying, “There’s a sucker born every minute,” with others being “educated idiots,” and “they lack of common sense.” These were usually uttered right after someone did or said something that you just had to shake your… Continue reading There’s A Sucker Born Every Minute
Disappointed and Disgusted with Dinosaur Democrats
I am a voter who increasingly is finding it hard to remain in the party to which I have identified for over 40 years. Yes, I am an older white guy. But, I’m an older white guy who firmly believes in equity, equality, and the social safety net. These used to be what Democrats stood… Continue reading Disappointed and Disgusted with Dinosaur Democrats
Rolling Over, Playing Dead
It has now been a little over a month since the election. The president-elect has been very busy with selecting his “nominees” for key cabinet positions. One, Matt Gaetz, has fallen out of favor already, but those that remain are just as bad as Gaetz. Sadly, as par the course, elected Republicans (are they really… Continue reading Rolling Over, Playing Dead
Surrounded by Sexual Predators
The new cabinet is being worked out by the president-elect. As always, he is surrounding himself with the best, very fine people. Better than any cabinet ever assembled, and the most loyal, of course. So who do we have? Let’s start with Matt Gaetz. Now I know he has since dropped out, but he counts… Continue reading Surrounded by Sexual Predators
