Thingy

  We think we know the person we are close to, but I never believed that. People keep secrets, like Woody Kelly . I remember him because it was big news in the town I was living in shortly after my marriage. Antioch was just a blip you usually drive through to get elsewhere. I know because when I was a child that was our route to the North Woods. Not much happened in the Winter season but it was a tourist attraction in the summer as resorts opened for business on the various lakes in the area. The disappearance of Woody Kelly was big news. It is still a mystery regarding what happened to Kelly. He was last seen taking a test ride on a boat, refusing a request by the mechanic to ride along. The boat was later found abandoned in Waukegan, twenty miles away. The first impression would be that Kelly fell out of the boat and drowned. The second reasonable conclusion, and one most Antioch citizens believe, was that he took off to start a new life. Kelly was a con man. He was the Bernie M...

  Easter Sunday. The pineapple cubes are skewered into the ham. Sweet potatoes and cornbread are baking in the oven. Little Jimmy is teasing the cat with his bolo bat as the adults whisk their whiskey and soda with their fingers. Suddenly, everyone's phone starts screeching as the emergency broadcast system blares out this alert... "This is not a test. JD Vance is now the acting president until further notice. Do not be alarmed. Everything is fine. There is nothing to worry about. Stay tuned for updates, but it's all good." Grandma Bernice immediately starts wailing while Grandpa Frank wakes from his snooze and tells her to zip it. Uncle Buck yells as Father Flanagan confiscates the remote to switch to the national news. The vigil begins. The ham is forgotten and the charred remains are remembered days later. The false alarm of a car horn going off politically divides the household as Aunt Betty and cousin Gerty prematurely start dancing. Brother Robert E. Lee shoots ...

  So, what's next for the gals? I read a great post in Bluesky regarding women who gravitate around maga men. 👇 They can never be a part of the group because they have vaginas, but sometimes they can be useful, usually it's for sexual gratification, but Bondi and Noem were allowed to hang about until the orange man needed someone to blame for his lousy poll numbers. As Pete Hegseth plays soldiers with real humans and RFK jr. desecrates the health system, Trump turns on women.  I wonder what Pam is thinking right now? We know she can be one angry lady and likes to seek revenge. She loves her burn book as well. She supposedly stands by her man even after allegedly pleading with him as he told her she was no longer needed. She didn't pump him up. She made him look bad. What she should do is release all the Epstein files before she walks out the door, forever. I won't hold my breath. Her allegiance to the very people (men) who treat her like property holds fast in Pammy. I...

  Hey, I don't think I ever wrote about this guy, Matt Gaetz, but I can't pass this story up. Gaetz claims he was visited by a top military official who shared some top secret information regarding aliens. I believe this officer's name was General Lee Mike Rotch. He had some serious news and wanted this low level nobody to spread the alarming news because who doesn't trust Matt Gaetz!? Somewhere in various sections of these United States aliens are procreating with humans. I'm not exactly sure if this is consensual or forced. I do know Gaetz believes it.  I don't know why the far right just loves those aliens, Bigfoot, demons, chem trails and all the thousands of theories out there. What is it about this life that we are given where we can't find titillation from what is actually out there? It's not enough to get our endorphins humming so they have to get all giddy with outrageous conspiracy theories. Damn, people, be like a liberal and smoke some weed, ...

  The image above is how I will forever remember Pam Bondi. Honestly, I'm not sure why Trump fired her. It's possible she was too much of a distraction or Trump is merely falling apart now because he sees the polls, the protests and the heads lowered by his once loyal subjects. He's imploding and as everyone predicted, he's planning on taking everyone down. Perhaps he thinks he can salvage his path of complete destruction. I'm going to assume he has no idea what the hell he is doing and unfortunately has no one he can go to for advice. He's burned bridges, angered powerful people, acted the complete inept psychopath he is.  As for Bondi- I don't know what can now be legally done to hold her accountable for her part in enabling this shit show. I don't care if it takes years to bring her down. I want every day from this moment on to be pure hell for her. I hope those women she ignored will feel some relief, some joy. She ignored them. We can't let hein...

  You can take the girl out of the church but.... you know the rest. Growing up in a world where religion was a part of life for everyone I knew, it's hard to wash away the years of a cult. In the year 2026, people still cling to the belief there's something better than this and maybe there is. I don't know how that could ever play out but I will shut my mouth about it. I don't proclaim my denial of God too often. My entire family except for one still believe. I would not be able to say out loud in a gathering, "Hey, I don't believe in Jesus!" because I'd be considered the weirdo, a devil worshipper, an untouchable. I know what day it is. It's ingrained in my head until the day I die. The Last Supper, then Good Friday, the wailing and then the Resurrection. For a child, growing up with these horrific stories of a man being whipped as his flesh is stripped, then forced to walk to his death to hang on a cross is beyond abuse in my opinion. It certain...
