  • Republican National Convention

    Out of fairness I started watching the Republicans bid for another 4 years of President Trump. I listened to Nikki Haley. a few that I didn’t know and I stopped watching when Donald Trump Jr. spoke. I did listen for 5 whole minutes and I heard lies and that is when I turned it off.…

  • Democratic Nat’l Convention

    I watched this last night and found it underwhelming. To tell you the truth, I’ve never watched it before so I had nothing to judge it by. Because of the Corona virus it is being held virtually. The main problem I had was that of the commentators. I started with NBC, went to CBS and…

  • VP Pick, Kamala Harris

    Well Joe Biden finally made his choice. It is not the choice I wanted. Who I wanted had removed herself awhile ago, Amy Klobuchar. I felt Kamala Harris was too progressive and would hurt Biden’s chances. I wanted a more moderate. The choice is made and I will support them. She is definitely a fighter…

  • John Lewis

    This morning I watched some of John Lewis’ funeral. I didn’t tune in purposely to watch it, it interrupted regular programming. After hearing so much about his life the past couple of days, I felt he deserved the honor that he received in his death. It struck me that when he knew he was close…

  • Fact Checking Sites

    I have been off of Facebook for about 7 months. The reason I stopped going on is because it is an election year and I have alot of “friends” that regular;y post misinformation, downright lies, conspiracy theories, etc. I get very upset and want to start arguments and sometimes do. It is so easy to…

  • Mary Trump

    Last night we watched Chris Cuomo on CNN. His guest was Mary Trump, niece of President Trump, who wrote a book, “Too Much, Never Enough.” We never watch the “news channels,” such as Fox, or MSNBC. We all know they are slanted. We never watch CNN or the individual shows, such as this one or…

  • They’re coming down

    In the past couple of days, two statues have been taken down on Monument Ave. Stonewall Jackson, upon his horse, and Matthew Fontaine Maury, a confederate officer, were removed by order of Richmond’s mayor, Levar Stoney. This is a good thing, a historical moment that I am witnessing. These confederate statues are coming down throughout…

  • Who can it be now?

    6/28 The other day Amy Klobuchar voluntarily removed herself from the list of candidates for Vice President, under Joe Biden.  I feel that this is a major mistake on her part. Here’s why: He had already stated that he would choose a woman, so here goes: She is the most qualified and has a proven…

  • more waste

    /23 I just read that our tax money, $75,000 to be exact, was used so that Don Trump Jr. could hunt and kill a rare argali sheep in Mongolia last year while the secret service accompanied him. So many things in this sentence are wrong.  Why should tax money be spent protecting this man who…

  • Campaign On!

    6/20 Yesterday was Juneteenth. I’m sorry to say that I have not heard of this.  It is front and center now because of all the protests and  injustices still experienced by citizens of color.  It is the real day of freedom from slavery. Not when the Emancipation Proclamation was written by Lincoln.  After he was…
