Gratitude is…

Saying “Thank You” is a good place to start…being fair, honest, and loyal to someone who has been that to you is the next step. This morning, I heard a lot of people bashing President who is certainly trying very hard to fix the problems caused by the legacy of former President Trump…the man he […]

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 […]

Trump Wants Americans to Be Complicit

Trump has always telegraphed who he is…either blatantly with his words or through other means. He wants us to know upfront because he doesn’t want anyone to later claim they didn’t know. From day one we knew Trump was shifty in his business practices. People were hollering from the rooftops that he had not paid […]

“Trumpism”

Former President Trump’s loudest message has been his silence on Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny…both during imprisonment and upon his death. It wreaks of his love, admiration, and fear of Putin and Russia…and illustrates his contempt for what truly makes America great. I truly don’t want our America to remembered for its fascination with a […]

My Belief That “It’s Never a Good Idea to Bet Against America”

Social security threats, gun violence, rise of antisemitism, racism, and hatred, abortion rights, Iran, Israel, Gaza, Russia, Supreme Court corruption, Trump prosecutions, white supremacy uprisings, House Republican failure…what do they all have in common.  Not one of them should have come as a surprise.  They told us, they warned us, we saw it on television […]
