Just yesterday I got livid with another divisive auto window decal. And of all things I was on my way to a date set up with a woman I’d been speaking to for a couple of weeks by phone.  It was to be one of the better Sunday’s of the year.   My time on my […]

Former Congressional Representative Cori Bush of Missouri once lived out of her car.  Up until twenty years ago it would’ve been unheard of for anyone like that ever being able to have an opportunity to run for federal office.  According to Forbes $15.9 billion was spent last year across all federal races.  The Harris campaign accrued $1.6 billion while Trump’s

Installed in 1961 by John F. Kennedy, the U.S. Agency for International Development has more than just displayed mercy to suffering under developed nations.  It has brought good will as perception from those countries needing help toward American citizens.

The most peculiar development concerning the day though was the announcement from one of the

One of the things I feared as a child was a peculiar phobia of vomit. I can stand needles and blood. I’m an avid blood donor for truth’s sake. I loved all of those campy horror movies back in the 1980’s. But even as an adult I cannot stand seeing where someone has gotten sick

Reader, I kept dreading it each time news feeds wanting my addiction, as promised to it’s advertisers; tried to get me to read an article about former President Jimmy Carter through ‘trending’ prompts. I did not want to see news that had announced his homecoming. Comfortingly, when I’d fall for their ploy I’d see that

During one of his final public and only independent based media interviews with Meidas Touch’s, Ben Meiselas; President, Joe Biden, was asked why he would not take the low road approach and skip the Inauguration on January 20th, as his predecessor did four years ago.  He summarized that, that is not what the Constitution allows citizens to do. 

It’s funny what an election will do. I’ve noticed a lot less grievance from the fanatical Trumpian culture here around my Northeastern Alabama community. As if they were crying infants in the night finally given their blanket. Not seen as much are the ridiculous flags flown from trucks. All of the yard signs and snarky
