How To Mute The Trolls Of Chaos
Recently I muted Trump on twitter. Now whenever there is a tweet that quotes his tweet, I see a lovely banner reading “this tweet is unavailable”… awwwweee. The awesome sense of just a bit of control, of not having to see his ridiculous words, I mean, seriously, what could I possibly be missing? Nothing good comes from any of his words. But, not that easy … Continue reading How To Mute The Trolls Of Chaos
A Little Rain On The Parade Of Boos
Last night the moron and chief was somehow convinced to attend a UFC match at Madison Square Gardens, and again, my twitter feed was filled with more booing towards arguably the most despised president in U.S. history. I didn’t watch any of them until this morning, but I take some satisfaction at watching the worst president in U.S. history getting his due, with a resounding … Continue reading A Little Rain On The Parade Of Boos
I Won’t Say I Told You So, As I Watch Him Reap What He Has Sown; Or, Maybe I Will
It’s a hot summer day in the late 70s and my cousin and I are sitting on Great Grandma’s front porch, old tobacco barns lining the fields behind the house. Off that dusty old dirt road that ran by her house, the driveway circles in and around this big ol’Maple tree that we had tied a yellow ribbon round, singin’ “it’s been 3 long years, … Continue reading I Won’t Say I Told You So, As I Watch Him Reap What He Has Sown; Or, Maybe I Will
Memories Of Honour In A Time Of Greed
u reap what you sow”, I often heard from my other Grandma, my Canadian one. For her, how you treated others was a defining truth, a test of one’s character, and showed to you what lay at their core. Continue reading Memories Of Honour In A Time Of Greed
Playing For The Cheap Seats, And Other Skulduggery
You know, I’m old enough to remember when the president of the United States didn’t act like a friggin mob boss. Continue reading Playing For The Cheap Seats, And Other Skulduggery
Conscious Allowing, Or How I Learned To Live Alone
With the Canadian election over, done and dusted, Trudeau won, and the U.S. election off on the horizon, impeachment looming, scandal after scandal, and the nest of criminals and con artists Trump has surrounded himself with being exposed, maybe I’m a bit tired of that whole mess. Perhaps time for reflection, tis that time of year, for me. Conscious allowing is as simple as creating … Continue reading Conscious Allowing, Or How I Learned To Live Alone
Impeaching We Will Go, Impeaching We Will Go, Hi Ho, Democracy, Impeaching We Will Go
The very roots of America lie in revolution, pushing off the yoke of monarchy and aristocracy. Revolutions of ideas and ideals, fought for and hard won, not by committee but by blood. Arrogant, sure of itself, proud, free, spreading the gospel of democracy around the world. But, then something shifted. With the magnificent success of puppet in chief, the profits from Putin’s promises deposited, awaiting … Continue reading Impeaching We Will Go, Impeaching We Will Go, Hi Ho, Democracy, Impeaching We Will Go
This Week I Learned A New Word And That Someone Has A Bucket List
And To Thy Own Self Be True
The thing that define those of moral courage, certainly intelligence, perhaps more importantly though is foresight, the wisdom that tells them to look into the middle distance, and not just stare at their feet and mumble “yes sir, no sir”. That is what Marie Yovanovitch, former U.S. Ambassador to the Ukraine did yesterday, she saw into the future, and acted accordingly. Looking to her 33 … Continue reading And To Thy Own Self Be True
In Her Great And Unmatched Wisdom, She Warned What He Would Do
Last week had lunch with dad and MsB. So, my dad is American, him and MsB both voted for Trump, and to my knowledge still support him. And, we do not discuss it. Dad tries, coming at it via Canadian Politics, probably hoping to draw me out; yet I always avoid any mention. Always. I mean, MsB has been down there her whole life, but … Continue reading In Her Great And Unmatched Wisdom, She Warned What He Would Do
When The Coward Of The Country Is The Commander In Chief
There are those, in terms of the scandal involving Ukraine, that will argue that the situation is complicated, they will say the president is just routing out corruption, or whatever malarkey, but they are incorrect. It is actually not complicated. In fact the president has made it easy, and straightforward, and every move he makes now to block the testimony of anyone, Sondland, or whoever, … Continue reading When The Coward Of The Country Is The Commander In Chief
Lessons Learned Whilst Living With a Liar
There is an effigy of his greed and corruption that hangs over everything he touches, as he rages at the bombs of truth. This confluence of ignorance and narcissistic tweets, and in the shadows stands with knowing eyes the ghosts of the founding fathers this 45th has betrayed. We watch as the swamp creatures that Trump attracts like flies to feces, we view them in … Continue reading Lessons Learned Whilst Living With a Liar
