I’ve spent the past two days reading and watching about what the so-called Supreme Court did based on the desires of just 25% of the country. But when it comes down to it, it’s actually based on their own personal wants and beliefs. So this is my own rant about it. I’m pissed. I’m hurt.Continue reading “The Fallout from Roe vs Wade”

Politics
I posted this in 2012 and I’m reposting it now, ten years later, with a few edits. This was when Obama was re-elected. It’s just as relevant now as it was then. Ron” is a prime example of why the people who need to read this won’t. He is proof that they still don’t getContinue reading “Politics”
Gun Violence
There is so much going on in the world these days, so much loss and destruction from forest fires to earthquakes to hurricanes and especially a pandemic. These are natural-born events. But there are also man-made destruction events such as car accidents and plane crashes, building fires, mudslides, floods, and war. And the way weContinue reading “Gun Violence”
The Tale of Two Women in America
This is from my journal about an experience I had when I was in the hospital ICU two years ago. When I was in the hospital, I came in contact with a whole lot of people… way too many and I was beginning to feel “peopled” out. But two made an impact on me…Maria andContinue reading “The Tale of Two Women in America”
TMI Tuesday: June 22, 2021 I See You
I C U 2 1. What attracts you to a blog–makes you read it again and again or subscribe? I had to think about this one for a bit. I’ve decided it is passion. And descriptions. And when it fits the topic and post, a sense of humor. Does the writer feel passionate about whatContinue reading “TMI Tuesday: June 22, 2021 I See You”
Tweets on Twitter
Stu Cameron@stucam7771 President Biden will be in the UK later this week. There will be no protests and mocking blimps like we did with the last guy. After four years of strong disapproval, the President is popular in Europe again. Just like President Obama was… Nick Walden Poublon@NWPinPDX I don’t know about you but IContinue reading “Tweets on Twitter”
Memorial Day Reflections
We have been taught that “freedom isn’t free.” Therefore, we have to “fight” for it. At one time, that might have been true, but IMHO, it’s now mostly just playing “king of the mountain.” But the otherside is that a strong military is a sign of a strong country. The idea that serving in theContinue reading “Memorial Day Reflections”
Guns as Phallic Substitute
I admit I am anti-guns mostly due to traumatic experiences, but that doesn’t mean I want to abolish the 2nd Amendment. But I have a real problem with open carry and men, and women, who walk around showing how tough they are by carrying a gun. It’s obvious doing this is meant to intimidate andContinue reading “Guns as Phallic Substitute”
Get police out of the business of traffic stops
Taking cops out of making traffic stops makes so much sense. Too many police officers are white supremacist racists, just looking for an excuse to attack a person of color. As long as police departments don’t do background checks before officers are hired and trained, events of black citizens being shot will continue. Get policeContinue reading “Get police out of the business of traffic stops”
What Direction Do We Need to Go?
Should we have to record cops on our phones to make sure they do things right and legal? That they treat everyone with respect? That they don’t automatically shoot some due to fear and hate? Do we really have to allow guns in the hands of everyone?
