Am I the Only One?

Am I the only person that remembers that when gay conversion “therapy” (read: torture) began to fall apart and many of those US “ministries” began to go out of business for lack of funds, they1 hopped on the planes and jetted right over to Russia2 ? Hmmm… Russia, of all places. Why Russia, I wonder? The next thing we hear… Continue reading

Let’s Just Get It Over With Already: MAGA!

The Republicans are not going to achieve the goals of their “constituents,” MAGA, until: anyone earning over $250,000 a year doesn’t have to pay any taxes at all: federal, state, or local the corporations these people work for or own don’t have to pay any taxes at all: federal, state, or local none of the tax revenue everyone else pays… Continue reading

Trump. Treason. Traitor.

Impeach and Imprison. The news is utterly shocking. Even Fox News can not stomach Trumps servile puppetry to Putin. Impeach and Imprison! Trump, and all of the Russian agents and supporters he has employed in his administration need to be fired immediately. Impeach and Imprison!! I saw this bumper sticker on a truck at the restaurant last week. Impeach and… Continue reading

Do You Really Want This?

I sincerely ask this question because this is the road we are rapidly traveling down. And the destination will be an America none of us will recognize at all. So, if we don’t want to live like this in the very near future, we have to do something about it now. Specifically, let’s talk about just 2 things for now:… Continue reading

The New Patriotism

My post is not intended to anger anybody. I’m the one who is angry. I literally grow angrier every week. In this post I share my perspective: some of what makes me angry. You see, I sense the careful crafting of a new idea I’m calling The New Patriotism. The New Patriotism is being born as our democracy, our representative… Continue reading

That Basket of Deplorables Is the New Face of US Terrorism (Updated)

I’m late to learning the details of what has transpired from the Nazi and White Supremacist terrorist attacks that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia.  I refuse to use the term “Alt-Right.” These are militant, white, Nazi terrorists that want to usher in to this country an ethnic cleansing. Their hatred and terrorism are without doubt fueled by Donald Trump, whose… Continue reading

Darrell Lackey Said It Better than I Ever Could

I have often blamed the hardened, heartless, even godless American Christian Evangelicalism (focused on greed and hatred) on the failed leadership of that cult’s faith expression. In their continued and successful efforts to get rich and rule politics, the leadership of that movement have left untouched, undiscussed, and unenlightened some of the most critical and truly significant issues of our… Continue reading

The Falsum

The falsum is a mathematical symbol that represents a logical contradiction or false equivalence. Wiktionary defines it as “an untruth, falsehood, fraud, deceit, lie; forgery.” Perhaps it could be extended to mean alternate truth, as if such a thing could exist. The symbol, “⊥“,  looks like the upside down letter “T.” I am joining others, more clever than I, in… Continue reading

Attention GA Educators

Betsy DeVos is not a friend of public education. She wants to privatize public schools! Think your job is difficult now? Wait until you’re working for a corporation that is driven by profits and not students! The expectation at this time is that Betsy DeVos will get enough votes to become Secretary of Education. But I hear that key Republican… Continue reading
