Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Woke up last Saturday to numerous notifications about bombing Iran including a children’s school, killing up to 150. One Hundred Fifty. Multiple US bases in the region. Now we enter a second week. Numerous problems which top of mind are MAGA targets of Muslim places of worship and community spaces from Los Angeles to New... Continue Reading →
I have been thinking about Minneapolis and how such a large city, along with the nearby cities, managed to show not only Americans but the world what peaceful protesting looks like in the name of protecting their neighborhoods. It was so inspirational. There is this theory going around that Minnesotans are more divided about immigration... Continue Reading →
I don’t know about you, but I am thoroughly exhausted by the chaos that is drowning our nation. Every day and I mean every day there is something more outrageous than the day before. ICE killing Americans. ICE beating those who are taken into custody. DOJ investigating Trump’s adversaries. Civil and equal rights are in... Continue Reading →
I have been in a writer’s block for a few weeks now, unable to sit down and write what is on my mind. Truthfully, there are too many issues on my mind. I have had to turn that off and sit still to meditate more often. Even my walks and hikes are in silence. It... Continue Reading →
All of trump’s cabinet nominees were dishonest at their confirmation hearings. Their pressure is Project 2025 in full tilt mode. Abolishing programs for special needs and disabled children. Give the control to the states? Do these people even think that states can afford to pick up the slack? Women shouldn’t serve in combat roles in... Continue Reading →
I have the song “What’s Going On?†in my head from the late, great Marvin Gaye. The Big Bad Awful bill passed on strictly party line votes in the Senate and the House. With so much disinformation in America and throughout the world, I want to present facts. 17 million Americans will lose their health... Continue Reading →
I have no words right now as I watch a video of a child, a little girl that is maybe 8 years old, crying for her parents that were taken away by ICE agents. Who will house her, feed her, take her to school? Instead of chasing people and treating them like subhumans, why can’t... Continue Reading →
Not sure of what to write today, but I am worried about the domestic terrorist problem in America and throughout our world. And it usually starts at a very young age. Children learn from their parents bad behavior and language. Mass shootings Mass harm in the name of whatever cause has festered in a person’s... Continue Reading →
I have been mentally paralyzed since the election and the subsequent 93 days due to the cruelty, disrespect, mishandling and outright despicable behavior towards not following the rule of law from this administration. But I suspect that the felon has never read the United States Constitution nor understands that he took an oath of office... Continue Reading →
I found this in a thread on social media this morning. It's too important so I am sharing it without ads from the website. And, yes, I acknowledge Politico is so-so, but this is worth the read. Trump Will Overplay His Hand. Here’s How to Be Ready. Asli Aydintasbas is a visiting fellow at the... Continue Reading →
