The nine years have been a whirlwind, and everything is circling in the air with no landing zone for the near, maybe distant future. Why have people bought into the isolationist politics we are experiencing? I know I’m not alone either, but I’m still mystified by the people residing in the far right and left….
We are on the precipice of a new president that we seemingly didn’t learn anything from the first time around he was in office. His whole MAGA movement has been sold or duped to the ridiculous way of thinking. Those people that want change so bad that they are willing to go along with someone…
Her we are again. Four years ago, we had just suffered the worst presidential reign of all time. So bad that now, “The Donald” has a new nickname, Donald “Hoover” Trump. Hoover, of course referring to the long considered worst president in history, Herbert Hoover. It is so perfect that nicknames are being thrown around…
About half of every day, I shake my head at what is going on in America. More specifically the Republican Party politics until I think about things and realize both sides are playing games with our country. Politics is so filled with buffoonish characters that I struggle to understand how any reasonable minded person could…
2024 may go down as the most consequential year of my lifetime, if not of all time. This country is on a collision course with one of the most unethical, self-centered, democracy hating, constitutional demising person ever. Donald J. Trump, the wannabe Czar of America, is making another run at being president. But not as…
Over the last eight to ten years, this country that I served for over thirty-seven years has become barely recognizable. We have an ex-president, secretary of state, and too many White House councils to mention that are all under indictment for numerous crimes. I think the latest I heard; Trump is charged with over ninety-one…
After a brief comment exchange with my book editor, Katie, over my article “Morning Thoughts”, I was left with a restless mind. This restlessness is not from her comments or mine, but more thinking about the basis for our beliefs and the ideologies we have created for ourselves. On a portal call, I off-hand made…
Middle of Kansas, we saw this sign that read “Adoption, not Abortion”. All sorts of things came to mind as I continued to drive. Most of the things I thought bordered on the insanity of whomever paid to have the sign made. This is a midwestern state that on the outside you would think of…
Are we? I’ve been wondering about it for quite a while. There was so much Biden could have accomplished over the last two years, but his desire for bi-partisan agreements stalemated important issues. The biggest, of course, should have been codifying Roe v. Wade. They still have two months and no effort is being made….
For the last few weeks, I’ve been making a point of not watching news other than to get local info and the weather. I have to say I have felt better and have been less stressed even though I’ve gotten bits and pieces of the craziness going on. I’m not sure I can keep it…
