I’ve had several people send notes asking, “Since you left the republican party, why do you continue to talk about it?” The simple answer is that I haven’t finished venting my spleen over the 60 years I spent in that godforsaken party. It was bad enough in New York up until 1988 when I moved […]
As the meme says, I’m not accepting the things I cannot change anymore. If I find that something is so alien to my beliefs that I cannot abide it, then I won’t just complain against it, I’ll work to change those things I cannot accept in any way I can. The first thing I’ve chosen
We have a pool going on how many times the Governor’s prison bill will be brought up before she can strong-arm enough unbelievers to get it passed. I think it’s five or six bites at the apple so far, but keep going, Sarah, you’re getting close! Every time (lame duck) Senator Hammer’s bill comes up,
I don’t usually write about myself, instead typically writing about my perception of the events that make up the world around me. I read a lot of other authors, and notice what may be a common denominator among those I find most interesting to read. That common denominator is an evolving political outlook, usually spanning
It’s easy to indict the Republican Party of Arkansas for corruption. It’s common knowledge that management is responsible for the actions of those they manage. If the RPA is corrupt – and they are – then it’s Joseph Wood and, by connection his boss, Sarah Sanders, who are responsible. As a former political consultant, the
Ever notice how elected officials show up for all manner of things in the months prior to an election, however they’re nowhere to be seen, don’t reply to mail or email (I don’t count the boilerplate garbage they actually send), and pretty much don’t exist in our world. The world they do exist in is
Why is it important to understand the Old Testament? On two separate occasions, recorded in Luke 24, Jesus indicates that the Old Testament is about him. The first of these occurred as he encountered two disciples on the road to Emmaus: 25. Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to
A revenant is a visible ghost or reanimated corpse of something formerly living, usually a person. In this case, we maintain the revenant is the Republican Party of Arkansas (RPA) that formerly was the conservative political party in Arkansas and is now just a name. Maybe RPA should stand for Revenant Party of Arkansas? Quite
I’ve thought long and hard about this decision, prayed even more, and no matter how I slice it, my time as a member of the Republican Party is done. It isn’t that I don’t still believe in Republican principles or the platform, I do. It’s just that I don’t see any evidence that the rest
You hear it said often, don’t you. You need to glorify God! But what does it mean exactly? How can someone glorify God? Perhaps one of the best pictures of glorifying God in the Bible is found in Luke 9:9. Herod says, “And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom
This article appeared here in January 2024, however we believe it’s as timely today as it was then. There’s also a real difference between how some things were then and how they are now. Can you notice the difference? I haven’t changed a word, so remember I’m talking about a year ago, not today. In
I am an inveterate note taker. Whenever I stumble across something I think I can use later, I write a note and file it. I used to do this on paper, which was not only messy but unusable in most cases, so I started using Notepad, and now have a folder with over 100 notes
I believe the far left (I call them communists) in our government openly declared themselves. We know they’ve been active all along, and that their ethics are nonexistent, however now that they’ve lost the election and Donald Trump took power January 20, the evil left started in earnest to attempt to overthrow the US. This
There’s a holdup in the Bronx, Brooklyn’s broken out in fights, There’s a traffic jam in Harlem That’s backed up to Jackson Heights. There’s a scout troop short a child, Khrushchev’s due at Idlewild… Car 54, Where Are You? The opening theme for the sitcom Car 54 Where Are You seems appropriate to give a
What we saw when Zelenskyy opened his mouth and inserted his foot was brought to us by media who had no interest in the truth, instead looking to get viewers or clicks. It looked like Zelenskyy interrupted President Trump and attacked VP Vance, whereupon he was summarily put in his place by Vance with a
Just a short note to voice my ongoing displeasure with the Republican Party of Arkansas (RPA). These charlatans act like those of us who supported them in the past are still fooled by their lies about conservative values. All this while they pass legislation that says they’re not any kind of Republican I’ve ever known.
I hear a lot of people – mostly Democrats but there are some Republicans – complaining that DOGE is not legal, not called for, and is nothing more than Donald Trump’s revenge against those that made his life miserable for the last eight years. If that’s all DOGE is, my answer to those who complain
I don’t like Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Not one little bit. When she came back to the state with a pot full of money and bullied all the other candidates into quitting the governor’s race I said I didn’t like her. The only thing she had going for her was she was Donald Trump’s Press
