Stupid Prizes for Stupid People
Pensively I sit in my Facebook jail cell, pondering the error of my ways and preparing for the inevitable revoke of my parole, fully aware that I am unrepentant, incorrigible and irredeemable before the powers of social media hall monitors. My preparation includes printing hard copies of as many of my community non-compliant Facebook posts…
The Finest Education
My personal story in response to a devoted teacher who believes in public education….. I grew up the second of seven children. My father who was an only child and lost his dad as a teenager and his mom as a young adult, was the sole financial supporter of our family during much of my…
The Truth About Lies
Why does history, with all of its wretched atrocities, repeat itself? Because evil is always seeking opportunity. Evil is ever patient and exceedingly clever. It has no boundaries. There is no depravity that evil is unwilling to employ. No lie it is unwilling to tell. No person it is unwilling to sacrifice to its cause.…
Life is Worth the Risk
I read a Facebook post this morning intended to bring perspective on the Covid virus to people who “just want to get back to normal”. It was an emotional piece about a wife being awakened in the middle of the night by her husband who is gasping for air and then leaves to take him…
Decay
Our country is crumbling. Likely done for. Not innocent victims of an uber-powerful foreign aggressor. Conscious participants in our own moral, societal, and spiritual suicide, ultimately succumbing to the rot manifesting and untreated in our own midst and households for decades. Our addiction overdose drug of choice? Narcissism laced with entitlement, righteous indignation and sexual…
Enemy of the People
If the media or pollsters wanted to know why I or any other Trump supporter voted for him, they could have asked. Or just listened. Or stopped deleting the social media posts and accounts of people who supported him and looked at what they were actually saying. But they didn’t. Because they didn’t want to…
“It’s Always Darkest Before the Dawn”
She’s 21 today. When I found out that I was pregnant with Traci, we had just moved our large, young family from Brooklyn to Fishkill. We had literally moved our 5 children (ages 10,7,3,3 and 1) the week before Christmas and somehow managed to unpack, decorate and put gifts under the tree for all of…
What Are the Odds?
Millions of Democrats and liberals across the country just voted for people who have spent their entire adult lives getting rich as politicians; because they promised them that if they got elected this time, they’d give them the “free healthcare”, “free college tuition”, “affordable housing”, “free childcare” and most ironically and brass, the “social justice”,…
If You Want to Leave This World More Beautiful Than You Found It, Be An Aunt Eileen
Five years ago today my Aunt Eileen left this world for a far better one.Knowing that I will see her again is one of the reasons I am unafraid to go when God calls me home. I had the privilege to honor my beloved Aunt and Godmother at the celebration of her journey into heaven.…
***THE MARK***
I used to joke that I wore bangs for a long time because I had the word “mark” stamped boldly across my forehead. A reference to the fact that I can be pretty naive sometimes. Naivete isn’t the worst thing in the world. It’s basically the comfort that comes from believing that people are generally…
“Honor Your Father and Your Mother” -God
Our world; it’s falling apart. It’s not an overstatement. The entire global population is living every aspect of their lives in absolute and consuming terror of a virus. It happened in an instant. And it has shattered our everyday lives and now dictates every corner and moment of our existence. Whether anyone is actually afraid…
White Privilege and Affordable Housing
A Personal Tale of Oxymorons Three years ago today, my husband and I spent just one of our many days enjoying the privilege of our whiteness, by cleaning out the rental property we had mistakenly attempted jointly investing in with my youngest brother fifteen years earlier. My journey of privilege began 57 years ago when…
Please Don’t Feed the Birds
The most powerful weapons of the political left in this country are not Antifa nor BLM nor any of their political operatives. It is and has been for decades, a virtually impenetrable and ever expanding vice grip on the cultural and political narratives from mainstream to print and social media, and every corner of the…
I’m Working On That
This, my first blog post, is actually a post I made on Facebook yesterday. It is a discussion of how the entirety of the social, cultural and political narratives not only in the United States but across the globe, have been hijacked and suppressed and are now rigidly and singularly dictated by the media industry,…
