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 […]

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 […]

/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 […]

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 […]

6/17 Now I’ve heard everything, they are disarming Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam!  Can you believe it.  I am no NRA supporter and firmly believe we need more gun control laws. Why do you need an AK-47?, just because you can? By the way, Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima are also retiring.  That’s fine with […]

6/12 Home here in VA, watched the news for the first time and watched the confederate Tate’s being forcibly taken down by protesters with the police standing by.  I don’t know how I feel about it.  Originally I thought that there should be a history attached to the statues explaining the lost cause of the […]

6/9 I’ll give him credit for addressing the nation, which he did. He also threatened to bring in our military forces to stop the rioting and called the governors and mayors weak.  He is our “law and order president,” his words.  He also had law enforcement deploy tear gas onto a peaceful protest so that […]

6/1 Over the weekend, throughout the US, there has been mass protests condemning the unfortunate death of George Floyd, a black man, at the hands of a white police officer, AGAIN! As a white woman, this happens way to much.  If I was a black mother, having had to have “the talk” with my son […]

5/27 Aha, Today Twitter has put a “truth check” on Trump’s  false statements.. Gotta love it! I am making a prediction for when Donald Trump is out of office.  Let it be noted that if Trump has the resources, he will buy his own TV station and call it what else, Trump TV.  There he […]

5/20 I’m reading this book, “This Terrible Beauty,” by Katrin Schumann.  It is about Germany at the end of WWII and the separation between East and West Germany. It’s mostly about the East, the Russian led side.  It travels to America and back again, following a young girls journey until adulthood. Anyway there are a […]
