The Mad King

Since first dipping his toes into politics, Donald Trump hasn’t been taken completely seriously. In my heart, I feel like Trump threw out the idea of running for President as a lark, but when the Republican party laughed at the idea he got mad because who were they, or anyone, to tell him he couldn’t… Continue reading The Mad King

You Can’t Ban the Imagination

I think a lot of people have been surprised at how quickly the Trump regime has gone from a clown-show to a full-blown fascist regime.

Flint, Michigan can’t seem to catch a break.  This one proud titan city, where some of the brilliant minds that helped birth the automotive industry had lived and worked, was brought low once the factories closed, leaving the city desperate to figure out what next.  The city had built itself around the automotive industry.

I Just Wanna Be Social

Can I just say that at this point in the timeline, I am a little shocked that NO ONE has managed to create competition with Facebook.  No one.  How is that possible? Facebook, a few years ago, was a nearly perfect animal.It was about connection and sharing.  Swell.  As it became embraced by businesses, it… Continue reading I Just Wanna Be Social

Indoctrinate

We Americans have been hearing about indoctrination for years now. We have heard how the “Left” is using education to indoctrinate the children to be gay, to be trans, to be weak, to be progressive, to be un-American, to be elitist, to be educated, and on and on. Children, like everyone else, are political pawns.… Continue reading Indoctrinate

If you told me when I was, say, 18, that I would be where I am today, I am not sure how I’d react. I have seen and done things I’d never have dreamed of. If you told me I was going to have a daughter one day, well, odds are I’d collapse.  Never in… Continue reading FOUR

The Blood-Soaked Message

There is a point where screaming that the house is on fire loses its power. With the building full of smoke, and everyone weary of hearing that the smoldering embers that have never gone out are going to set the whole place ablaze, it’s hard to keep caring. There’s a point where a trauma response… Continue reading The Blood-Soaked Message
