You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Vote

As America’s 250th celebration has been mostly lackluster, people should be reminded that only for 106 years, women were allowed the rights to vote. But I’m sure there was some resistance even after . The photo years ago of the current President looking over at his wife as they were about to vote should beContinue reading “You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Vote”

No One Owns The Monopoly On Mourning

If you’re reading this, you’ve lost a parent or grandparent, friend or partner/spouse, teacher or mentor, or even a furbaby that meant a lot to you. It doesn’t matter. Mourning and grief hit us hard sometimes. Animals also endure it as well. Even though they say time heals all wounds, it doesn’t do a 100Continue reading “No One Owns The Monopoly On Mourning”

I Hope Mitch McConnell Is Still Alive (Seriously, I Do)

As of today, it’s been 44 days, just over six weeks, since Sen. Mitch McConnell was hospitalized from a reported fall. Not much has been released publicly about the long-time Republican Senator from Kentucky. Earlier this month, his office released a photo of him and his wife, Elaine Chao, from what appears to be aContinue reading “I Hope Mitch McConnell Is Still Alive (Seriously, I Do)”

Graham Leaves Horrible, Questionable Legacy In Congress

First off, let me say “Go fuck yourself!” to all the people saying we shouldn’t be celebrating the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham.  The President of the United States (and I hate writing that when I do) cheered the deaths of Robert Mueller and the murder of Rob Reiner. His administration called Renee Good aContinue reading “Graham Leaves Horrible, Questionable Legacy In Congress”

Who Are They Fooling?

I’m almost certain that if Sen. Lindsey Graham hadn’t died over the weekend, the office of Sen. Mitch McConnell wouldn’t have released a questionable photo of him and his wife (possible widow) Elaine Chao. Graham was the Republican Senator from South Carolina who was often controversial and more on that in another post. His peopleContinue reading “Who Are They Fooling?”

Dude, Where’s Mitch McConnell?

Today is July 5 and for anyone counting it’s been three exact weeks (21 days) since Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) was reportedly found unconscious and rushed to a hospital. Yet despite reports he is on the mend, there are concerns that he is in very poor health or even still unconscious. There has been someContinue reading “Dude, Where’s Mitch McConnell?”

Have The Semiquincentennial Celebration You Deserve

With July 4 on a Saturday for America’s 250th celebration and the U.S. this far in the World Cup as everyone seems to love what’s been happening the last few weeks, it should’ve been a greater moment of celebration. Yet the Freedom 250 Great American State Fair is on its way to being a disasterContinue reading “Have The Semiquincentennial Celebration You Deserve”

World Cup Proves We Need To Coexist On A Global Scale

While economists are saying the host cities for the World Cup might have a shortfall, I think what we’ve received in the last two weeks has been priceless.  People from other countries are excited to be in America and Americans are actually excited to have them. Most of the host cities are the blue citiesContinue reading “World Cup Proves We Need To Coexist On A Global Scale”

Remembering Those Who Fought And Died On D-Day This Day

When I worked at the Wagoner Tribune, one of the older military veterans, Arlie “Lee” Wilson, had participated in Operation Overlord, aka D-Day, which began on June 6, 1944. It was a main offensive in the European Theater of World War II that would result in the surrender of Nazi Germany about a year later.Continue reading “Remembering Those Who Fought And Died On D-Day This Day”
