As a brother, as an uncle, and most importantly, as a father, every day I fear for my mom, my sisters, my nieces, my aunts, and most importantly, my daughter. I fear what the future holds in terms of their freedom to make choices for themselves, whether it be to work or not, to marry… Continue reading Women: Time to Fear, Time to Unite

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
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.

Mr. President, A Vocabulary Lesson
Dear Mr. President, I think you need a quick refresher on the meaning of words as you don’t seem to know the definitions or how to use words in context during your political speeches couched as COVID-19 briefings. Please take note and I’ll try to be as simple as possible. Nasty Definition: Behaving in an… Continue reading Mr. President, A Vocabulary Lesson
No Testing, Fewer Cases
“If we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases.“—Actual quote from man in the Oval Office This quote has been on my mind since I first saw the clip of him saying it. It really describes his mindset and his worldview. He really prefers to find a deceitful way to handle tough… Continue reading No Testing, Fewer Cases
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!”
