University funding
April 21, 2025
Let me start off by saying I have very little knowledge in the area of funding provided to universities. Probably not a good way to start a post that you want people to read but…let me offer my opinion. I am so very worried about this loss of funding for universities – mainly because of … More University funding
The Declaration of Independence
April 19, 2025
Yesterday I started my post with a passage partially describing how people felt in 1930 Germany. Today, let’s go back 150 years to the 1770s. “They were declaring independence from what they considered to be tyrannical rule. The last part of the British Empire that Americans broke away from was actually the king, which is … More The Declaration of Independence
We are in a moment
April 18, 2025
“The Blood Purge of June 30, 1934, was a warning of how ruthless the new leaders could be. Yet the Nazi terror in the early years affected the lives of relatively few Germans and a newly arrived observer was somewhat surprised to see that the people of this country did not seem to feel that … More We are in a moment
I approve this message
April 14, 2025
I saved this quote, statement, passage…but have forgotten the source. Big time apologies! I do absolutely approve of the message… I am so frustrated with what is going on with the kidnapping by our government. These are not deportations…they are kidnappings. We are snatching people off the street for their ideas, their speech, their writings, … More I approve this message

Coming Down the Escalator
April 11, 2025
I am announcing my bid for office. How do I look? I heard the other day that the last two Democratic Presidents came out of nowhere to win the presidency. Barack Obama and Bill Clinton were relatively unknown compared to the “usual” candidates. You could probably go back to the last three Democratic Presidents and … More Coming Down the Escalator

April 7, 2025
Below is a screenshot of a test on Comparative Advantage from the University of Michigan from 2019. I have also included the link to the full test – and don’t worry, the answers are included! Why am I posting about comparative advantage – because it is such an exciting topic! Nah I got to thinking … More Comparative Advantage – Let’s take a test!
I went to my first protest
April 6, 2025
I’ve never attended a protest before. Never marched in the streets. Never held signs. Never attended a political rally. I went to the “Hands Off” protest/rally yesterday downtown. It was many things. It was inspiring to see and listen to so many passionate people. It was fun to see the creativity in the signs people … More I went to my first protest
You Ok with Deporting My Brother-in-Law?
April 4, 2025
Do you remember these placards? People waving them at Trump rallies and at the 2024 Republican National Convention. Every time I saw them being waved it I felt disgust. The people waving them are Moms and Dads, Granddads and Grandmoms, Uncles, Aunts, teachers, business owners, church goers…how did they get to a point where they … More You Ok with Deporting My Brother-in-Law?
