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

A Time of Radio Silence?
Have you noticed ever since the election, it seems as if the political world on the Democratic side seems a bit subdued. We haven’t seen too much of Biden, hardly anything from Harris, and even the usual outspoken Swalwell, Raskin, and Schiff have been much quieter than usual. The only voices I’ve really heard have… Continue reading A Time of Radio Silence?
Out with 2024, In with 2025
I wasn’t sure how to end the 2024 blogging year, especially as we are about to enter 2025 with an authoritarian-minded president-elect. I’ve no life experience for such a situation. As I was going through the many windows I had open in my web browser, I came across a series of articles I think sum… Continue reading Out with 2024, In with 2025
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
It’s the Day After…
There was a movie that came out in 1983 called The Day After. It was about what would occur if a nuclear bomb hit the United States. As one might imagine, it was a little frightening as there has, and always is, the possibility (though not probable) of a bomb hitting us at some point.… Continue reading It’s the Day After…
A Hollow Holiday–Veterans Day
Today was the day our nation honors our fallen hero’s, our Veterans, who fought in past wars defending democracy against global enemies, starting with those who died in World I. I want to start by thanking all veterans for their service. The free world thanks your family’s sacrifice, and the ultimate sacrifice of each and… Continue reading A Hollow Holiday–Veterans Day
Democracy or Autocracy?
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?
