  • Racism

    “White Privilege,” I’ve been reading about that a lot lately. There are multiple examples in the book I am reading, “Americanah,” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I have already talked about the different prejudice between races, countries, demographics, whites against whites, Black Africans against American Blacks. It is endless. I for one didn’t understand when a…

  • Prejudice

    I’m reading a book, “Americanah” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I like to read books by authors from countries and cultures throughout the world. I’m very interested in the different ways of life, history, and past and present civilizations. There seems to be one common attribute from the past right through the present in every country…

  • Election Day 2020

    I voted. I had planned to vote in person on Election Day, but because of the Corona virus, we had requested an absentee ballot just in case we weren’t able to go on Nov. 3. I found out that I can still vote in person but I had to bring the absentee ballot with me…

  • Vulnerability in the USA

    As I was writing checks for a couple of bills, I realized, (not for the 1st time) how old fashioned I am. I’m in the habit of writing checks for my bills since I was old enough to have a checking account. It is a choice I’ve made about not doing any business online. The…

  • Last Presidential Debate

    This was suposed to be the third debate but Trump pulled out of the second, (I discussed in previous post). This was much better because the debate committee made the decision to cut off microphones when either of the candidates were speaking. It worked well. I don’t have anything to add, at this point I…

  • 2020 Presidential Election

    We are 2 weeks away from Election Day and I can’t wait! The commercials are driving me crazy, both parties. I’ve said before, instead of trashing your opponent, please just tell us your ideas and what your going to do for us if elected! It amazes me that lying is an acceptable form of campaigning.…

  • Town Hall Meetings

    Well tonight was supposed to be the 2nd presidential debate. The debate committee put forth guidelines that would have had a virtual debate. President Trump refused. The fact that the rest of us have had to Zoom meetings seems to be irrelevant. President Trump was going to have one of his rallies instead. Joe Biden…

  • 1st Presidential Debate 9/29/20

    What can I say? If you watched it, I think it spoke for itself. How horrible and low down. I didn’t expect anything less. We all knew Trump would attack, that is his modes operandi. I didn’t expect much from the moderator, being from Fox network, but I was pleasantly surprised at how he tried…

  • Ruth Bader Ginsberg

    It doesn’t need to be said what an amazing woman she was, but I’ve said it anyway. There is so much to admire about her life. It blows my mind how some people are so accomplished in their lives and how did they get to be that way. It’s got to be more than determination…

  • Class Action Lawsuit

    It occurred to me that I would like to file a class action lawsuit against Donald Trump for health problems related to his four years in office such as; rapid heart rate, anxiety, worsening of stress related symptoms, and sleeplessness to name a few. I know that there are many many more that would join…
