More Thoughts And Prayers

 


Just over the weekend my twelve year old granddaughter and I were talking about school. She's a good student and a social butterfly, yet, she is not looking forward to going back to school next week. I didn't push the subject, but then she brought up safety measures regarding the school, comparing them with other schools in our state that have the latest technology and armed police guards at every entrance. This is a twelve year old girl who should be thinking about boys and clothes and after school parties. She's discussing logistics and weighing her chances of being killed. Brown people are not the problem in this country and never have been. It's disassociated, angry white males who have a chip on their shoulder and a gun in their hand. Our government has no solution. No one has a solution, although it's a fairly obvious one. Our total lack of urgency regarding the murders of more children is just another big red flag waving in the wind regarding how very broken this country is. We are so very sick I don't even know how we have managed this long fooling ourselves and the world that we are a prospering, free nation of happy souls other countries would love to emulate. The mask is off and the ruse exposed.

Now, we either face the truth and work together to find tough solutions. Or, we can continue to stick our heads in the sand until we are another North Korea. 

I am sick with shame when I listen to my grandchild figuring out her odds for survival. 

Shame on all of us.

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...

Wishful Thinking

  Bluesky got my hopes up with rumors of Trump's possible passing because his bronze glow up and swelling cankles were incognito for a few days. He also hasn't been ranting on False Social. Naturally, I went looking only to find he is still breathing, but looking like the grim reaper may be his caddy. It's a weird social phenomenon when normally nice people are wishing for the death of one orange man by natural causes. You know we could hurry this along by other means. Just saying. At this point I don't see anyone stepping up to the plate. It appears only Magas like to murder and buy guns like the left buys books. There is another way, which is as likely as the other idea and that is, Congress growing some balls. Sorry, ladies but you can grow a pair, too. The demented old fool is making rules left and right, illegal I must add, yet, crickets come from Congress. I truly don't understand the game plan if there ever was one on the Maga side. It's clearly not about...
