Let’s put all our differences aside and treat each other with respect!

Tomorrow Is Thanksgiving…

What are you thankful for?

Just an Opinion

Thanksgiving and Christmas are getting too commercialized!

The World Would Be A Better Place…

If we all just did acts of kindness, no matter how small or large.

School Daze

Do you think that there are some classes you took in school that were totally irrelevant to life?  Learning to read and write is good, but what about Shakespeare?  Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division yes , but Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus?   Actually, Home Ec should be required, since most kids these days don’t know how to cook a homemade meal and other household things, and some sensible things like managing your finances, and preparing to be a parent.

Just Because You Don’t Agree With Your Country’s Leaders…

Doesn’t mean you hate your country.  Dissention is a sign that you care!

Sometimes It’s Not The Lie That Gets You..

But the coverup!  Just admit what you did wrong.

It’s Only A Game!

Parents, please quit throwing fits  and starting arguments with  other parents or game officials at your kids games. It’s only a  game, what are you teaching your kids by doing  this?

Digging Your Own Grave…

Let’s see:

Bribing a foreign country with aid to get dirt on / prosecute your political rival and his son

Say a whistleblower should be executed

Foment violence against minorities

Attack the free press

Other kinds of shady deals

The Opiod Crisis………

Is sad.  Most of these people who end up addicted to them don’t start out aiming to get hooked, just to have their pain eased.  What can be done?  Should the companies that produce the drugs be blamed, or the doctors who prescribe them?  Addiction is terrible, take it from your humble writer whose sister is a victim of it.

If You Can’t Tell The Truth About A Weather Report…

Can you tell the truth about anything?

If Telling Someone To Commit A Crime….

And telling them that they’d be pardoned isn’t an impeachable offense, then what is?

Teenagers These Days….

Are a lot different then they were 20-30 years ago.   They have no respect for parents, teachers, other adults, or themselves. Because of the internet and social media , they have lots of problems making relationships with people in person.  And much worse, they can’t seem to solve conflict without resorting to violence.  Drugs are their new hobby. What can be done?

Enough Is Enough!

Is 31 deaths in 13 hours due to the shootings in El Paso and Dayton enough to say that something needs to be done about gun control?  No civilian should own an assault weapon, which is an instrument of war. Congress needs to end its summer break and get back to work ASAP on common sense gun legistlation.  Mental health, video games, and lack of prayer in school are getting to be excuses for those politicians who are being held hostage by the NRA.  Also, there needs to be a crackdown on white nationalist groups that use the internet to recruit, and there needs to be laws making domestic terrorism a crime.  And this is wishful thinking, but Trump needs to shut up and quit fanning the flames with his racist talk!

Just Remember When You Treat Someone Bad….

They are someone’s son, daughter, brother, sister, other family member, or friend. Would you like to have yours mistreated? Think about it!

If It Looks Like A Racist, Talks Like A Racist, And Sounds Like A Racist…..

Then it probably IS a racist!  Insinuating that 4 sitting members of Congress are not American (3 were born in the US, 1 is a naturalized citizen)  is totally beneath the office of the President.

Happy Birthday America

The way things are going, hopefully it won’t be the last!

Such A Mockery….

A Salute…..

To those men who fought and died for freedom storming the beaches at Normandy 75 years ago today. You will never be forgotten!

Anther Senseless Shooting

Hopefully we aren’t becoming numb and acting like these things aren’t happening as much as they are.

When Being Discriminating, Bullying,

Or otherwise being bigoted or intolerant, Don’t be surprised when your victim finally snaps and pushes back!

These Forced Birther Bills

Being enacted in states are nothing more then republican attempts to enslave women, and make them nothing more then human incubators.  Forcing a rape victim who got pregnant as a result of the crime  to carry the baby is just like raping her a second time. Women are not property!

Is There Anywhere Safe Anymore?

Seems like you can’t go to school, church, shopping, or even out to eat without taking the chance that someone will decide to start shooting the place up.  What can be done? That is the question!

Say What?!

So you torture a man so much he dies from brain damage and you send us a bill for 2 million dollars to cover it?  And you think North Korea can be reasoned with?

You Have A Right To Practice Your Religion……

But what you do NOT have the right to is try to force your religion on someone or condemn people that do not believe the same way you do!

Love Should Not Hurt

If you are in an abusive relationship, GET OUT!!!  Especially if there are children involved.  You and your kids’ lives are worth far more then being with someone that hurts you. There are people out  there who care and can help!  And if you have a friend or family member that is in that situation, make it your business and help.

If You Don’t Have Anything To Hide….

Why continue to lie?  It makes no sense!

Sins Of The Parents?

What do you think should happen to the students who benefited from the college admissions scandal?  Should they lose their spots in school and have to start from scratch, or stay in?   Should they be treated as innocent victims, or be forced to pay the price?  And what of the ones who’ve already graduated?  Should they have their degrees pulled?  Because of this, students who legitimately worked hard and made the grades were shoved aside in favor of cheaters!

So Let’s Get This Straight

How can you misinterpret something that was broadcast live on TV?

Let Them Eat Cake

Consider being furloughed a vacation without using your vacation days?

Have yard sales, ask your landlord if you can  do maintainence work instead of paying rent?

I don’t know why furloughed federal workers are going to foodbanks?

You can get your groceries on credit?

It’s worth the sacrifice?

People in this administration have no idea of what it means to be poor, and have to live from  paycheck to paycheck.  Now that the shutdown is over, hopefully these people can get their back pay ASAP!

Does Anyone Realize…..

That walls can be tunneled under?  Drones, sensors, and actual eyes on the ground would be better helps.

Introducing Your Congressional Wounded Warriors Caucus

These lawmakers have literally left part of themselves behind on the battlefield. Perhaps they can get together and come up with solutions to the VA’s problems and more programs for our injured soldiers.

Here are your charter members:

Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth lost both of her when her helicopter was shot down over Iraq

Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw lost an eye to an IED in Afghanistan

Florida Congressman Brian Mast lost both of his legs to an IED in Afghanistan

Indiana Congressman Jim Baird lost an arm in Vietnam

And of course, as a Posthumous selection for membership: John McCain.
