Governors shut you out of work. Now your President has joined in on the act. Do you see America anymore? Americans will not rise. They will not fight. They will not endure the heat of day, nor the drowsiness of night, much less the struggle against a tyrannical government. It is a shame. I love […]

I'm a mid-life dreamer. I'm a kid in a candy store of realities, ideas, and hopes. I write like a blue collar. I speak like a non-scholar. Occasionally, I live like Richard Halliburton... on bed rest.
A Very Bad Feeling…
Over the last few months there has been a great pressure in my chest. It is a potent mix of stress and sadness. I have seen businesses falter and fail in my community. I have witnessed jobs disappear and return only to be met with vacancy and laziness. I have seen my college tell former […]
Macron Jumps The Shark
The idea of freedom is so difficult for some to grasp and others to explain that history records few relationships of citizen/government scale that end in an amicable and happy balance. Overreach is a natural outgrowth of one man or woman being given excess authority to bludgeon the opposing force (ideology, religion, race, etc). These […]
They’re back.
Social distancing, mask wearing, worshipping the message of fear are all back…If we hear the proponents of these shallow graves of freedom and liberty.
Speaking of Today…
I was reading my Bible this morning and found interesting wisdom in the verses. Isaiah 29: 18-21, if you are interested. Specifically, I found the words “That make a man an offender for a word…” Could this be speaking of the snare of cancel culture, found today? It certainly seems so to me.
Stalin Killed People.
Stalin killed his competition. That seems important to me now. I’ve been noticing the mirthless, merciless, thoughtless, ignorance of the people clouded by the cancel culture mentality. They savagely seek out those that disagree. They root out those that do not appear as committed to the lie as they are. They hunt down those guilty […]
I am worried. I will say it plainly. Americans are the weakest band of government groveling, power worshipping, half wit trusting, ninnies that I can find in history. For all of the talk about Chamberlain, it is the nation of cowboys and continentals that won’t show face in public without the overly hyped COVID mask. […]
Barking At Our Own Reflections
When I was still young enough to use hair gel, my family had a dog that was…eh…special. The poor pooch was confused in many ways. He would bite his tail when the offending member walloped him as it wagged. He would hide from the clock when it chimed on the hour, and he was noted […]
Interesting read.
I do not agree with all points made, herein. I do think it speaks to the movement of decentralization. https://tpseager.medium.com/covid-19-brexit-and-nevertrump-are-all-the-same-power-struggle-e9a1b889bb48
Baby Does Not Equal Bathwater
The frustration of the last few weeks has shown itself in my words and actions. I am not violent, mind you. I just have less patience for things I disagree with. I do not believe that I am alone. This is exactly, I think, the kind of element that Conservatives and Independents really ought to […]
Who Forced Their Way into What?
This year the governments of cities, counties and states throughout the United States made it clear that they could: Force their way into our businesses and alter how we run them Force their way into our social events and how we conduct them Force their way into our work places and how we produce in […]
Cannot comment or reply on BW.com
Has anyone else had this issue? I have contacted the site about it but wondered if there was an external fix that I was missing. It has been going on for a few days. At first I thought it was the typical slow load but it will not allow answers or comments, regardless of the […]
Beautiful Mess
I wonder what the pallet Michelangelo used while painting the Sistine Chapel looked like. I wonder if it was a beautiful, well structured pallet or a mess of blended hues and shades. Something tells me that it looked like a mess. Something in the back of my mind says that in order to get the […]
Some say that singers live on through their music. Hearing a Patsy Cline song, an Etta James tune, the crooning of Nina Simone, they say, brings something of them back to this world. I do not know if that is true. What I do know is that some people live in such a way that […]
Morbid Passtime
As my departed grandmother used to say, “Have a look see”… https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/all-injuries/preventable-death-overview/odds-of-dying/data-details/
