Now, growing up dad had guns. I mean, I actually wasn’t generally aware of it growing up, but he did apparently have a rifle, yet I was completely oblivious. Though, when I was older I do remember a couple of them propped up behind the bed, like some sort of redneck hick, propped up but not loaded, before new gun laws came into play, and … Continue reading Some Thoughts On Stop And Go Slaughter In America
For anyone who decides at some point they want to know more, there is a particular cycle that begins, as the more we learn, the more we read, the more we understand – theories, ideas, philosophies, sciences, histories etc – the inevitable conclusion we come to is how much we do not know. So, when I began to wade into the shark invested waters of … Continue reading We
Ever wanted to just stop what you’re doing and throw out all access to the internet, sell all your worldly possessions and move to the wilds, live in a cabin by a stream, turning your back on it all? Going somewhere so remote you CAN NOT access the internet? No cell service. Nada. I did it, the going to the wilds, not giving away ALL … Continue reading A Meander Through My Mind, Of Politics And Swamp Things, And Memories Of A Lake
Over the last 24 hours it is like everyone just sort of went, wait a minute, who’s the real villain in this drama? Watching this descent into chaos and the fight for democracy, I mean, one minute were watching as Mueller outlines the real and grave concerns he has over election security, and the very next day we have McConnell striking down allowing a vote … Continue reading Are We Watching The Rise Of A Tyrant And The Fall Of Democracy?
In and around the dawns early light, I stumble out of bed and zombie walk to the door to let my old dog out, so she doesn’t pee on the floor. It’s my morning ritual, of late, from experience of mopping the floor when I fail to recognize the urgency in her cold nose when she wakes me, that I have seconds not minutes or … Continue reading The Politics Of Distraction, And Why The Republican Controlled Senate Is Doing Nothing To Protect U.S. Elections
Injustice for me is probably the single biggest triggers. Injustice is the thing that ignites something inside me that I have had burning since I was a young child, to watch as someone gets away with something that is morally wrong, not just criminal, not just a crime, but fundamentally manipulating circumstances to suit their own ends. You know, like rich people getting different justice … Continue reading To Be, Or Not To Be, A Torchbearer In The Dark, That Is The Question
Ok, excuse me for my ignorance, but when did it become unpatriotic to disagree, to dissent, to challenge the status quo in America? Last time I checked, and correct me if I’m wrong on this, but isn’t that at the heart, the very acorn of the countries founding? You know, throwing tea into Boston harbour, taxation without representation, bunch of angry landowners rising up against … Continue reading Because It’s All About The Money, Honey, Cause It Washes Sin Clean
Doesn’t seem that long ago I would have said without any hesitation that the truth shall set you free. Without reservation or fear, proclaimed with certainty that truth is the path to freedom, lies are the road to your own personal hell, orchestrated by your fear of truth and the consequences. Today though, like most days of late, there is worse news than the day … Continue reading Fascism Is Coming To The U.S.A.
Remember that scene from The Princess Bride when Inigo Montoya says to one of the characters “I do not think that word means what you think it means”? That was me just now, checking to see what the ACTUAL definition of racist is, and how it differs from the word bigot. That I am looking this up in reference to a tweet made by an … Continue reading You Might Be A Racist If
What’s that saying? If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it’s a duck? Yet, regardless of the evidence of one’s eyes, there wouldn’t be a saying if people were not inclined to still be led down the garden path. So, for some Americans, approximately 42% or so last count, when the duck walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and looks … Continue reading Its All Ducky, Long As You Are Lucky Enough To Be Born Wealthy Duck
Who knew, eh, that when we hire jackals who profit from the unchecked predatory natures of wealthy men and their patriarchal stench of their desires, believing themselves above the law, who knew that associating with these stink piles could backfire? Who knew that hiring a scumbag who willingly makes cushy deals with wealthy hustlers that rape and traffic young girls and children could come back … Continue reading The Predator President And The Pedophile And All The Other Stuff That Happened This Week That Made My Blood Boil
As a student of history, a person who spends as much time watching documentaries and TV progs on ancient history as I do crime drama’s or leftist YouTube channels, I sometimes suppose my perspective is a bit different. Basically, because once you begin to look back, and the farther that one goes back, you do begin to see these patterns, the rising and falling of … Continue reading The Ups And Downs Of Ignorance And The Rise Of Fascism
Concerning the world of American politics I admit to being a bit of a newbie. Actually, and to be completely honest, I began this journey down the rabbit hole writing about the chaos and division threatening the land down yonder where I was born without a clear understanding of the system, so I’ve been learning about how they do things, what things they can do, … Continue reading The Future Of American Politics And The Fresh Faces Of Congress Who Are Paving The Way
