I wouldn’t be able to work, tweet, or blog…hmmm. I wouldn’t be able to email, text, or chat with my friends so I suppose we would have to call, visit or have lunch…hmmm. Maybe we could dust off the Monopoly, Scrabble, or playing cards. I no longer have a typewriter so people would have to […]
I love knowing I come from these honest, hardworking, loving, people who survived something people rarely speak about…traveled a journey I cannot fathom. I come from the people who did not leave the plantations when slavery ended. They stayed on and worked for the plantation owners…worked their land, cleaned their homes, cooked their meals, and […]
If you have been bamboozled by Trump, don’t feel alone…it happened to almost half the American voting electorate, and it happened to some of the most astute businesspersons in the state of New York. As the judge explained about Trump and his sons, this is who they are and what they do…they have a […]

I’m just trying to figure out what “Make America Great Again” really means? What the hell are these folks trying to get back to? America is not perfect…it has never been perfect. But our country has been going forward rather than backwards. Every time I see “MAGA,” I find myself asking, what is it that they […]
“Purple rain, purple rain…I only want to see you bathing in the purple rain.” I was young and in love…and, Prince was in love. I sang “Purple Rain” in the shower and danced around my tiny apartment to “Let’s Go Crazy.” I danced a very different dance to “When Doves Cry.” Yes, I was in […]
Every four years, Democrats from across the country join together to develop the party’s platform. The platform is created to uplift working people and write out the values that will guide the Democratic Party for years to come. The product of those efforts is the Democratic Party Platform. The last platform was considered by the […]
Yesterday, I found myself ranting about wanting to know more about the thought processes of Republicans who vote for Trump. I know it’s not all Republicans, but it’s a lot of them. And the worst of them are in our Congress…in the House and the Senate. The wealthiest of them are on the outside filling […]
