The current occupant of the White House has some fairly fanatical supporters who wish we could just go back to the good old days of the 1950s when America’s economy was thriving, women were secretaries and men ruled. Well, let me clarify that. White men ruled. It seems that now that their hegemony over the rest of the world is being challenged, they are getting more than a little nervous. I totally understand their concerns.

I grew up in that world of the fifties. There was an order to be followed and everyone followed it. Maybe not all were following Continue reading →

I don’t see what all the fuss is about. We have at least one school shooting a week. Isn’t that our new normal? I mean, aren’t all Americans entitled to all the guns they might want no matter how powerful or deadly or meant only for killing other humans? Isn’t that the NRA stance? And isn’t that what all the pussy-assed politicians are kissing NRA butt to keep legal because their powerful position is more important than the lives of any teenager? Continue reading →

Thoughts on an early Thursday morning…

According to resident black magic witch Kellyanne Conway, if a woman is strong and intelligent, she can’t be abused. Hmmm… I guess that makes me a weak idiot. Because I was in an abusive marriage. Not for long, but for what now seems like a brief five minutes in my life, I learned that someone you think you love can be unbearably cruel both physically and mentally to you. And what that happens, the initial confusion makes rational decisions difficult to impossible.

I had never seen abuse growing up. My father and mother had Continue reading →

No, I did not listen to it. The sound of his voice makes me want to start cutting myself. The snippets I’ve read haven’t changed my mind on this POS. And I think the look on Melania’s face as she stood in the audience tells me that she is not a happy camper at all. Waiting to see how long before she moves back to NYC.

We have got to take back the Senate and House. This disgrace to our country simply can’t continue. Continue reading →

Can’t listen to tonight’s speech by the POS currently sullying the White House. My ears are too sensitive. I fear they would start bleeding before he finished his first pack of lies, let alone his second and third.

Nope, I think I’ll just watch Big Bang reruns and dream of the time when we actually had a literate, intelligent gentleman as our president. It seems so long ago… Continue reading →

The POS currently sullying the White House thinks he might get an invite to the royal wedding. Really? They want a buffoon at their wedding? Only way they invite him is if he’s the comic relief. Continue reading →

Apparently the POS currently sullying the White House was not invited to Davos. He just went because he wanted to. Suddenly I have a lot more respect for Davos. Even they know he a fool. Yep, rich apparently doesn’t cure stupid. Continue reading →

You know you’ve lived in earthquake territory for too long when you can’t find the enthusiasm or energy to wake up during a 7.9 earthquake. I woke up, tried to figure out if the house was really shaking that badly or was I just still dreaming, saw the dogs still sleeping around me (they hadn’t even skipped a snore), figured all was ok and went back to sleep.

Now I’m thinking my dogs may not be the early warning signal I thought they were. Continue reading →

News that the POS currently sullying the White House had an affair with a sex worker is a surprise to no one except, apparently, his wife who has suddenly changed her plans to travel with him to Davos. One must ask what she expected when she married him? Is she the only one who actually didn’t realize the deal she’d made with the devil? If she played loyal, supportive wife then he would see that she lived in a house of gold with never a financial worry again in her life. She just had to shut up, swallow whatever horror Continue reading →
