Trigger Warning: Honestly, y'all, I don't even know how to word this or what to say. I wrote in a post earlier last week that I was going to revisit the Watts Family murders and this is that post. It pertains to abuse and violence and it will be graphic. After Christopher Watts confessed what…
Late last night, or early this morning really, my daughter and I were sitting up, having the best time. She was on her phone, checking out e-books from the library and telling me all about them. I was looking through articles I have been behind on and getting caught up on my subscriptions and telling…
*This post has been worked on and rewritten and completely trashed and restarted a few times since last week. This. Vote. Is. Just. Awful. Finally, I've decided to publish this simple version and leave it be - because I have to say something. I am heartsick over this. After years of having hoped better…
On Friday, after the Bizarro World Rose Garden press conference, I was ready to sit down and write a full, holy shit, let me tell y'all post. And then I gathered my horses, and determined that everyone knows where I stand on this anyway, and that I was NOT going to be kind if I…
Wow. Just wow. New York, you have really outdone yourselves. A couple of days ago, when I saw news on my Facebook feed of your new abortion law, the initial post was from a conservative site, so I honestly thought that the case for what this law was perhaps had been spun somehow. So I…
It came to my attention recently that a group called The Liberty Council - associated with Liberty University - has objected to the passage in The Senate of the Anti-Lynching bill, The Justice for Victims of Lynching Act. https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/evangelical-group-wants-gays-removed-anti-lynching-bill-n956831 As the article states, the bill applies to lynchings motivated by "the victim's actual or perceived…
Yesterday morning, I read an article about Colin O' Brady becoming the first person to ever cross Antarctica unassisted, a truly incredible feat. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/american-man-first-solo-across-antarctica-unaided-n952186 The explorer who attempted the same, Henry Worsley, in 2016 fell ill and passed away, just 30 miles short of his goal. Still, what an amazing attempt. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/25/explorer-henry-worsley-dies-during-antarctic-record-attempt It is also…
A few months ago, Andrew Stoecklein, the senior pastor of Inland Hills Church in Chino, California, committed suicide at age 30, leaving behind his precious wife Kayla, their three young sons, and his mother and two siblings. Prior to his death, he had been struggling with depression and anxiety and had just returned to the…
At the end of a hate-filled week, an anti-Semitic alt-right psychopath entered the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh last Saturday and murdered eleven people during their time of worship. He injured two other worshipers as well as four police officers. It is heartbreaking and disgusting and just unbearable. After this horrific attack occurred, the…
Since the 1992 Clinton/Gore campaign, I've been a true yellow dog Democrat. At the time, my Daddy worked every other week in Arkansas and I had him bringing me back all kinds of campaign gear, several years before I was old enough to vote. He said I'd be more conservative when I got older -…
