The USA has, since WW2, been allies and defenders of the free world. My dad and Uncle fought in WW2. My husband and his brother both fought in Vietnam. They did not go because our country was physically under attack. They did not go just because they were “called up.” They went because they were […]
I feel as though I have been transported back to the 1940’s, and our countrymen are all rallying to fight against one of the cruelest, most hated dictators of all time, Adolf Hitler. However, this is 2025 in the USA. It has been almost 100 years since the holocaust. It takes me a minute to […]
Tonight’s blog came about when I responded to a post about Joe Biden. Joe often gets a bum’s wrap when people discuss his leadership. However, I also am a quiet person, but I don’t ever imagine myself as less than others because I’m quiet. Even though I’m not always “seen” as a great orator, I […]
Poem by Emma Lazarus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,With conquering limbs astride from land to land;Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall standA mighty woman with a torch, whose flameIs the imprisoned lightning, and her nameMother of Exiles.

Freedom of speech is only one of the rights we still have access to today. Each day, some new atrocity occurs. Today, an American president stated that he plans to reinstate a 1748 law that states all people who are not “like him” can be placed in interment camps like the Japanese were in W.W.2. […]

The difference being… today, we hear the mad ravings of a would be King “dump” rather than a cruel king of England in the 1700’s. Shall we allow our United States […]
More bad news floating down… who shall we kill today…who shall we wipe away. Gafaws of laughter drift down the stairs. Mad minds contemplate the surge of power they now hold in their hands. We are the kings, and they are the sniveling, crying peasants crawling to us, hands held out, begging for their pence. […]
Dear Presidents’ Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, H.W. Bush, Reagan, and Carter,I miss your leadership as President of the United States of America. I miss your loyalty to our country. I miss the way you took care of our country, even if we had differing views. With you, we didn’t feel threatened. We didn’t feel endangered. […]
One of my fellow bloggers, whom I follow, posted this recently. It touched my heart in so many ways because my family also immigrated to America in the mid to late 1800’s. My father’s grandfather, at age 12, made the journey from Wales. He and his older brothers crossed the sea together to find hope […]
