Knowing What We Know Now
Knowing what we know now. Knowing that Jan 6th was and is a serious threat to our country and our way of life. Knowing that the people that planned Jan 6 and pulled it off knew it was illegal. I stand by my previous statement. We need to show some moderation towards those who merelyContinue reading “Knowing What We Know Now”
Me Nailing It On Twitter Back In October
I rarely get things as right as I did above, so I do think I should be able to brag it up a little. But, yeah, I don’t care what “side” you’re on. What I care about is getting everyone who, for one reason or another, qualifies as one of MY PEOPLE though our currentContinue reading “Me Nailing It On Twitter Back In October”
Dear Texas and Mississippi
Dear Texas and Mississippi,The people saying you don’t have to wear a mask or social distance anymore are the same people that got a whole bunch of you killed in a predictable winter storm and that still don’t have the lights and water turned back on.

On The Changing Of Minds
The first thing you need in order to to change someone’s mind about something is a person with a mind that is opened to being changed. All the fighting and ugliness over the last four years closed a lot of minds to the possibility of changing. The very real, very huge threats presented by COVIDContinue reading “On The Changing Of Minds”
Dear News Media
Even if the Nov. 3 election is a complete rout and the winner is obvious, please wait until at least the morning of Nov. 4 to “call” the winner. As you know, early reporting isn’t the most accurate and deciding who’s won the election isn’t your job anyway.
