Some Thoughts on the Blog

This has been my personal blog since 2009 and while it has never been a political blog, I have hinted a few times of my displeasure at the crazy-town way things were going. But by and large, this has been a blog of pictures, fiction, poetry and cataloging vacations. I participated in various creative writing challenges and wrote about my cats. Oh, and food...we can't forget food!

For this hopefully short season, this is my platform for expressing myself and letting out all the pent-up frustrations from the past 4-5 years and my surging hope for our country [breathes a huge sigh of relief].

What has changed? Nothing and everything. I will still write poetry and fiction if and when my muse is in the mood.

We lost our precious Sophie last May, and she was my go-to for smiles, ours and hopefully yours too. She sure did love boxes. She was frequently there waiting patiently for me to get my stuff out of her box.

So it hasn't become a political blog...I'll leave the nitty gritty to others, but I do have more topics to discuss in upcoming posts. So stay tuned because you never know what you will find here. Feel free to dig into the archives too!

Take care and stay sane out there.

To Tell the Truth

This is something the Left seems unable or unwilling to do. 😠




Remember the scene in the movie "A Few Good Men" where Lt. Kaffee (Tom Cruise) was questioning Col. Jessup (Jack Nicholson) and Jessup finally roared back, "You can't handle the truth"!

Well, that scene is playing out all across the country since many people still can't handle the truth. I read post after post that have been shared by people I used to think I knew. There seems to be no end to the vitriol being spewed through their fingers onto the keyboard.

I wish I had the time and the patience to systematically correct them, you know, like grading a failing paper with a bright red pen. And yes, they are failing. Failing to see how out of touch with reality they are and actually believe what they are saying.

If we are being honest here, for many, particularly those in the swamp, it is more than that, deeper than that. It is a four-letter word. It is hate. They are so filled with hate that they can't find the good in anything that doesn't fit their myopic version of the truth. So they lie.

Which, of course, brings us to the topic of freedom of speech. Freedom of speech means you have a right to your opinion and to give voice to that opinion. You also have the right to be wrong and revel in your wrongness.

That doesn't make the rest of us any more likely to switch sides. It merely gives you the satisfaction of self expression.

Until next time, continue to express yourself. Folks will agree or not. It's your right and theirs.

Whose Side Are You On?

I'm glad you asked. I am on the side of America.

If you take a deeper look at it, there are many issues facing our country and many sides to take. 

One that is at the forefront of the world's attention is the war between Russia and Ukraine, and people are taking sides. Either you are for or against one of these countries, and nothing else is even possible. Ah, but it is. Personally, I support neither country and think the U.S. should keep its nose out of it. We, the American people do not want war. This is the third side and it is called neutrality. Ever heard of that? 

Those who insist that we continue to support Ukraine with billions of dollars of money and/or equipment, are just condoning more killing on both sides until there is no longer enough men to fight, or more importantly, work and raise families. I don't understand why anyone would want this. No, really I do and it all goes back to follow the money, and whose pockets get lined.

So, I am tired of seeing the blue and yellow flags with the words "I stand with Ukraine" everywhere I look. To say anything else seems to suggest that one aligns with Russia. I don't. However, when trying to negotiate a peace agreement, one must have both parties at the table. The Ukrainian president did not make a good showing, arriving at the White House (by invitation) wearing attire unbecoming of a president. He then reneged on already agreed-upon terms, refused to sign and demanded more money/support...whatever.

It is very telling that the only time the democratic members of congress clapped during President Trump's address was when he talked about the war and how many billions in aid had been given by the previous administration) One member, also known as “Pocahontas”, clapped even harder when he called her out. What does that say about the democratic state of mind?

Whose side are you on and why?

Until next time, take care and stay safe.

Just So You Know

The far left media will lie and tell you that Americans are against all the things that President Trump is doing. That would be the left doing what they do best.

Now, how about a look at some numbers gathered from a CBS News poll following President Trump’s speech Tuesday night. This tells a completely different story.

• 76% approved of Trump’s speech
• 63% said Trump spent time on issues they care about
• 74% said his speech was presidential
• 71% said it was inspiring
• 62% said it was unifying
• 77% approve of DOGE
• 77% approve of immigration and border policies
• 73% approve of his plans for ending the Ukraine/Russia war
• 65% approve of tariffs
• 76% approved of the removal of democrat, Al Green

Only 51% of those polled self-identified as republicans, yet 76% approved.

I believe this covers it pretty well. Over 77.3 million American citizens voted for Donald Trump, and I think we are all getting what we voted for. Thank God and thank you Mr. President.

This One's For You

 Hello Friends,

As of the writing of this post, it has been 42 days since President Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of these United States. That was a day that will live in history forever. It was the beginning of a new era for the U.S. and by extension, the entire world.

This is especially true for the 77.3 million people who voted for him. We're getting what we voted for. Some on the left side of the political spectrum will complain that he has done nothing for the price of eggs. Wow, is that the best you got? He did not run on a platform of bringing down egg prices. He ran a campaign based on promises to the citizens to secure our borders and keep citizens safe. He promised to rid the country of the DEI that we have been plagued with for far too long. He campaigned to reduce government spending and waste that have nearly bankrupted this country, and finally he wants to end the war between Ukraine and Russia. I will leave the detailed writing on this to those who are much more knowledgeable. Just as an FYI, "those more knowledgeable" is not the main stream media or the many liberal publications that exist merely as propaganda machines.

I titled this post "This One's For You". What that means is simply this. I am sick and tired of those endlessly bashing of our President and his administration, to include all those he hand picked for their positions. I am sick and tired of the manic TDS rants from individuals sitting in their cars screaming, and women shaving their heads and vowing not to have children while Trump is president. That, for the life of me, makes absolutely zero sense. These are the people that are whining that they are losing their rights. Just exactly what rights have you lost in the past 42 days. I'll wait.

There are swamp critters (politicians and bureaucrats) who are now crying that Trump is trying to weaponize the DOJ. This is hysterical and totally ridiculous, particularly since that is exactly what they did to him. 

The president has made the Southern border more secure than it has been in decades, yet the swamp critters insist on helping the illegals to avoid ICE and deportation. Now these illegals are not families with children looking for a better life. Many are hardened criminals that were released from prisons in other countries and then shipped here for the express purpose of invading our country. Trump has shut that $hit down.

He created DOGE, Department of Government Efficiency from an existing department in order to ferret out the excess, unnecessary, inappropriate and downright fraudulent government spending that has been ongoing and put an end to it. What got the most attention? At first it was USAID, which is not a humanitarian aid fund. It stands for United States Agency for International Development, which had very little to do with actual aid to individuals. Then there was social security. Now why on earth would anyone let an unelected person root around in our personal finances? Elon Musk and his team of experts are auditing all aspects of the government's finances. HE IS NOT AFTER YOUR MONEY. Understand the meaning of the word audit. Audit: An examination of records or financial accounts to check their accuracy. 

While we are on the topic of unelected persons getting all up in our business, let's look at Fauci. He tried to control our response to the plandemic. Then there are other groups like the WEF and WHO, that are trying to run the entire world and re-create it in their image. 

Now on to the subject of men participating in women's sports. The democrats are adamantly defending the "rights" of "trans women" over the rights of real women. How disgusting is that? They want to completely erase real women in favor of fakes. Everyone with two functioning brain cells knows that there is no such thing as an actual trans woman. You can have surgery, take pills and get injections, and you are still a man pretending to be a woman. It is an XY thing and chromosomes don't lie.

Next, we address the propaganda machine known as the "media". This includes ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, Associated Press and publications like the New York Times. Okay, why are they considered as propaganda machines? Well, they all have one approved narrative that is in lock step with the far left, progressive liberal segment of the government. Any opinions or even facts that are moderate or right of center are either twisted completely out of context or not reported on at all. Sometimes things are even fabricated...you know blatant lies. You'll have to research this for yourself. Let's just say that "they" knew about Biden's cognitive decline a long time ago. BTW, have you seen all the lawsuits being filed? Some are justified and others are just people whose noses are out of joint because they were called out on things they said or other misdeeds. 

So, for four very long and very painful years we endured the $hit show of Biden and his puppet masters. We were the laughing stock of the world. We had one chance. The future of America was riding on this election. Thank God we have been given that chance. People, we need to unite behind our president. That is the only way to stop the advancement of socialism, marxism or outright communism. They tried to take away our freedom of speech during covid by pressuring social media to censor anything to do with covid or the vax once it was available. They suppressed information on drugs and treatments that would help, and instead said stay home until you can't breathe, then come to the hospital for remdesivir, which is dangerous to your kidneys. People lied. People died.

I think We the People have earned the right to "do it our way" this time. This is our chance. Let's not blow it. Take care everyone, and I'll see you next time.
