I’ve been thinking about the phrase “Make America Great Again.” When people hear it, what year pops into their head? Is there a specific calendar year? 1984? 1960? 1957 with a Chevy in the driveway and a pie cooling on the windowsill? (Sunday, Monday, Happy Days…Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days…you gotta sing it if you’re my … More February 23 – Back to the 50s?
I shared this post on my facebook page. One response I got called the comparison “absurd.” I went to reply and realized it was getting long so instead of replying there…I replied here… My “peaceful protest” worked! It made you, and others hopefully, think about a particular event. It may be “absurd,” but aren’t most … More February 7 – My Response to a Post
January 26, 2026 — what really went down—and why saying “if only the governor or mayor…” doesn’t change what happened Let’s get this straight right now…what happened with Alex Pretti in Minneapolis was not justified and if your argument is that “well the governor could’ve done something…” or “the mayor should’ve…” — no no no … More No No No No No — There’s No Justification for What Happened to Alex Pretti
I’m going to rant a little bit here. I’m hoping that getting this down on paper (screen) and out of my head will help. I’m furious about what happened yesterday in Minneapolis. Furious, confused, and honestly just exhausted by what feels like a complete breakdown of professionalism and truth. What happened to Alex Pretti was … More January 25 – A Rant on Yesterday
Alright, let’s do it. Back on the horse. Typing into the void. For the historical record. It’s been a few weeks. Some of that was intentional. Some of that was…gestures wildly at everything. I kind of took the holidays off. Busy family time. Food. Noise. The good stuff. Then the new year rolled in and … More January 12, 2026 – Hi! Let’s Write a Blog Post
We’re just murdering people. That’s my opinion. And yes, I know – a great way to start a cheerful little blog post. I actually thought about softening that opinion, maybe tossing a few pillows around it so nobody gets uncomfortable. But I can’t. I’m nowhere near an expert on military strategy or drug enforcement or… … More December 5 – Just Calling It What It Is
I joined Truth Social recently. Yep. It happened. I didn’t go there for the vibes, the discourse, or the memes. I went because an AI video of Trump flying a fighter jet and dropping…poop…on protesters made me question all my life choices. Basically, I didn’t want to fall into the trap of reacting to something … More Thursday – What Are We Even Doing? Take 467
I don’t have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Nope. Not me. I’ve diagnosed myself, and it’s not that. I don’t even have Moron Derangement Syndrome. (Honestly, I can handle moronic behavior – it’s practically a community pastime. I’m a moron at least twice a week.) So what do I have when it comes to President Trump? I … More Tuesday – “Quiet Piggy” and Other Presidential Etiquette Lessons
I’ve been thinking about healthcare a lot over the years, and with the government shutdown continuing, this time because of expiring subsidies of the Affordable Health Care Act (or at least that’s the excuse being used), I figured it’s time to finally write about it. Before that…some comments on the shutdown. I cannot believe that … More Saturday – A Rant on Healthcare (and the Shutdown)
