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?
A Very Simple Question for Hurricane Survivors
The simple question is, do you want to recover and live, or believe the lies and possibly die? The Republican candidate for president, Donald Trump, as we have seen time and time again, is lying again. This time about hurricane relief. He is saying there has been a bad response by the Biden administration. He… Continue reading A Very Simple Question for Hurricane Survivors
Freedom for All, or Freedom for Some?
The Harris/Walz campaign has latched onto the freedom moniker, and rightfully so. We are in dire need of a frank discussion on freedom in light of Project 2025, the Trumpist’s, and so many elected Republicans, especially at the state level, working tirelessly to end freedom. Well, end freedoms for those who aren’t white, heterosexual, Christian,… Continue reading Freedom for All, or Freedom for Some?
