I had another post ready for today but then listened to “The Daily” podcast. EVERYONE should listen to it. We must figure out a way to revamp our entire healthcare system. It is so sad. I wish, I wish, I wish we could get out of our own way and realize the ability to get … More The Daily – Medicare
Be Good Do Good Those are words that John Adam’s told his daughter just before he left to go to Europe during the revolutionary war according to the mini-series “John Adam’s” on Max. Now, who knows if he really said this to her – maybe somebody does – but they are still good words to … More Watching John Adams
This is a song from the Go Go’s released in 2020. They wrote it during the pandemic and to promote Girl Power. I did not know this. I have been a fan of the Go Go’s since they first hit the pop charts 1981 and thought this was just a song on one of their … More Club Zero
Diversity Equity Inclusion Scary words…if you’ve never left the road you live on I work with a woman who uses the phrase “irrationally angry” a lot when things go sideways. I’m almost there with the criticism of DEI although I don’t think it is irrational. How can someone be against Diversity, Equity and Inclusion? I … More DEI
Instead of reacting and talking about our current President, why don’t we shout out our own ideas? Cement those ideas into structures and then sell, sell, sell!

Burgermeister Meisterburger We can have hope because Kris Kringle won out in … More No More Toy Makers for the King
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
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
“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 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
