Losing Our Democracy to Trumpism and MAGA

Finding the Truth in Trump’s Deceitful Muck I consider myself to be of average intelligence, but the lies are coming so fast and furious…so fast it is difficult to discern truths.

Finding the Truth in Trump’s Deceitful Muck

I consider myself to be of average intelligence, but the lies are coming so fast and furious…so fast it is difficult to discern truths. I know I am not the only one feeling this. So how does one navigate through this messiness? I find myself relying on the past more than the present. I find […]

My First Instinct Was Former President Trump

My first instinct was hands-down former President Donald J. Trump. Then I realized I don’t even know who this man really is. I don’t even know if those closest to him know who he is. He’s a shapeshifter…he appears to be whatever he thinks he needs to be in order to win. I don’t know […]
