Their children were taken from them. Their spouses were taken from them. Their family members were sold like propertyContinue reading “Happy Juneteenth!”

I want to wish everyone a Happy Father’s Day. Hope all you dads and stepdads, grandfathers and great-grandfathers have a great day. Please be mindful of those who don’t have a father around.

Some New Furbabies
I’ve not been feeling well today. But I thought with Father’s Day approaching, I’d share some pics of the new family. Pepper is what I call the tuxedo cat and she’s the momma. The orange ginger cat I call Stan. About three years ago, another ginger cat who has since crossed Rainbow Bridge, had someContinue reading “Some New Furbabies”
The O.J. Simpson Murder Case Still Strikes A Nerve Decades Later
As of today, June 12, there are people alive who can legally run for the U.S. Senate who have no recollection of the public hysteria and legal turmoil that happened because of the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman in a residential L.A. neighborhood 30 years ago.

The Republican Party’s Day Of Reckoning Is Close At Hand

Trump Supporters – You Can’t Handle The Truth!
Well, if you’ve been living under a rock on Mars with your eyes closed and your fingers in your ears for the last 48 hours, you’ve probably heard the news that former President Donald J.

Choosing The Bear Too Late
The other day, I commented on a social media post of someone I grew up with. Maybe I’m a little too unfamiliar with the formalities about sending DMs but unless you are saying anything vulgar or disrespectful, why should it matter? Anyway, she said that she was not interested and to stop sending her DMs.Continue reading “Choosing The Bear Too Late”
‘Spacey Unmasked’ Is An Eyeopener But Still Leaves Some Stuff Under Wraps
There just always something about Kevin Spacey early on that made him seem odd. He seemed to be perfect at playing characters you didn’t like no matter what. His role as a corporate stooge in Glengarry Glen Ross could’ve easily been dismissed. It was because he wasn’t as well known as the rest of theContinue reading “‘Spacey Unmasked’ Is An Eyeopener But Still Leaves Some Stuff Under Wraps”
