I just answered a young man’s post, and after I reread it, I thought this may need to be shared. I often write from some emotion I’m experiencing. I often write from my heart. Tonight, I wrote from both, as well as a deep, sharp pain stirring within me. After reading comments from young people […]
Another day, another arrest of an American citizen. Another day, another deportation of an American citizen. The king has declared that it is fine and dandy to arrest American citizens who do not match his idea of an American. According to the king’s parameters, you must be born in the USA, you must be lily […]
“We the People, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” THESE WORDS MEAN SOMETHING TO ME! These […]
I know, I know. I need to turn off the TV and radio. I need to put on an old record that soothes and pulls me back… back… far, far away from the hatred and fear infecting our country today. Yet, here it is, just staring us in the face… A birthday parade to deflect […]
Texas, our Texas, all hail the Lone Star State. Texas, our Texas, so wonderful and great… Texans far and wide are celebrating the fact that they have won. They have won… and BOOKS WILL BE BANNED.As a native Texan, I am horrified. My heart is breaking… You may wonder why… you may not care. However, […]
It’s ORWELL’S 1984 come to life… he depicted this time so vividly in his novel. And with deep sadness, I recognize that we are in it for real.

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. From her beacon-handGlows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes commandThe air-bridged harbor that twin cities […]
