I’m done with the toxic political cycle.
The shouting, the bullying, the tantrums — none of it is leadership.
And the people who enable it? They’re not protecting anyone but themselves.
Call it what it is: greed dressed up as patriotism.

Trump’s speech tonight is supposedly about Iran, but let’s be honest — it will detour into his ballroom being paused, the NPR/PBS funding ruling, ‘corrupt liberal judges,’ & the usual Democrats‑are‑evil monologue. Don’t make it a drinking game. Your liver will thank me.

Morning, BlueSky. Did anyone keep count of how many times Trump insulted us during the State of the Union?

My tolerance tapped out at the 10-minute mark.

Opinion: When the Moral Compass Became Decorative Somewhere along the way, political labels replaced character, and we stopped asking the harder question of who we are without the script.

We talk about politics as if it defines us, but avoid the harder question of who we are without the script. Read my latest blog about this gap between performance and responsibility — and what gets lost when we stop looking inward.

No human being is "illegal." That label isn’t neutral — it’s a way to criminalize people who lack paperwork. I say "undocumented."

Now it’s your turn. Use language that reflects reality, not fear.

Trump says anything less than having Greenland in US hands is ‘unacceptable’ President Donald Trump says that NATO should help the U.S. acquire Greenland and anything less than having the island in U.S. hands is unacceptable.

- Greenland said no.
- Denmark said no.
- NATO allies warned any attempt to seize territory from a member state would have consequences.

Trump: "We need Greenland."

Why would a president target a NATO ally? What do you think might happen?

Nothing good.

It's not that we don't respect law enforcement. We don't respect people who enforce shitty, inhumane laws.

New Year, Same Me, Different Edges I think we can safely say 2025 sucked. Some highlights made it seem less sucky. Dick Van Dyke turned 100 safely, without any significant incidents. Hopefully, he will continue to dance with the penguins for as long as he can. Scientific research had a beneficial year with more advances in the battle against cancer, especially breast cancer. Unfortunately, my father has had the same mobility issues for several years, so there’s been no advancement there.

Why I’m Keeping My Edges Sharp in 2026 — Not Chasing “New Year, New Me.” Reflections on grief, loss, and finding contentment without forgetting what shaped me. Read my latest blog post!

Trump says the US 'needs' Greenland for Arctic security. Here's why Greenland's strategic location above the Arctic Circle makes it a focal point in global security and trade debates.

So we’re back to talking about buying Greenland again?

Meanwhile, Americans are drowning in healthcare costs, caregiving burdens, housing shortages, and broken infrastructure.

Another distraction dressed up as strategy.

Fix America first.

Opinion: MY OPINION IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!! Raise your hand if you have been on media overload. If you can’t see it, I have both my hands raised. Holy heck. It’s exhausting. Everyone has an opinion, and everyone claims their opinion is a fac…

Too many opinions masquerading as facts out there. Do your own research. Question everything.

I wrote this post some time ago. Still relevant. Thanks for reading.

Now close your eyes & imagine this with me: A fully functioning government. Leaders writing proactive legislation to improve American lives. Socialized healthcare. Nice, right?

Instead we have this shitshow. 😒🙄

My take on the NJ Governor race: Ciattarelli ran for governor 3 times.
I will give him 5 points for effort.
His agenda? Trash. His Trump loyalty? Worse. Still, he put himself out there. He’s in the negative overall, but hey—he tried. 👏👏

We all go through moments that feel impossible. Moments that shake us, change us & leave us wondering if we’ll ever be the same. But maybe that’s the point. We’re not meant to stay the same. We’re meant to grow. Don’t fear the change—honor it.

Opinion – Undocumented, Not Unworthy: Rethinking Citizenship Through Character On March 24, 2025, a man was scheduled to appear in court. He never made it. ICE officers intercepted him, claimed they had a warrant, and took him into custody. They never showed the warrant. His wife called in a panic—she didn’t know where he was, only that ICE had taken him, and no one could tell her where. Several hours passed and she found out he was in one detention center in Newark then he moved to Elizabeth, NJ.

He was safe—but never heard. Deported without trial, defense, or due process. This isn’t just one man’s story—it’s a system built on disappearance. Read my latest blog post. Follow me: WordPress, Substack, Medium.

The 1st Amendment wasn’t made to protect comfort. It was made to protect dissent. Jimmy Kimmel didn’t incite violence—he called out hypocrisy. Meanwhile, others mock transpeople, spread lies, and threaten journalists under the guise of “free speech.” Bullshit. This is censorship.

Opinion – Who Gets Grieved? The Person or the Political Identity? I wasn’t a supporter of Charlie Kirk, and I didn’t share his views. However, I will say that I feel for his wife, his two young children, and the rest of his family. Today, they wake up without a father, husband, uncle, brother, nephew, or cousin—because of a senseless act of violence. He held polarizing viewpoints, but violence was never a justified response.

Grief isn’t always personal. Sometimes it’s tribal. Sometimes it’s staged. My latest post explores how public mourning becomes performance - and what we’re really grieving when a polarizing figure dies. Now live on WordPress, Medium, & Substack.

Everyone’s condemning political violence. Good. Let's not ignore accountability. Charlie Kirk built a brand on provocation. Politicians profit off rage bait, then act shocked when it escalates. Condemn the violence, yes. But, don’t pretend the rhetoric was neutral.

I don't feel the need to write another blog post on gun violence. Why should I? It's time for action. I will send positive thoughts to the children suffering in Minneapolis.

Opinion – So, America Hates Everyone, except Guns & White Men.  Got it. Do you know what would be nice? Writing a blog about my favorite songs or the types of dogs and cats I love to cuddle ALL OF THEM!!! I LOVE ALL OF THEM!!!  Sigh. So, we done messed up again, folks. Not really surprised anymore since America is racist, sexist, narcissistic, and sociopathic. Politically we are at an impasse. Some want another Civil War.

Another mass shooting. I wrote this in response to America’s obsession with guns—and the disturbing reality that firearms seem to have more rights than my body. The sentiment hasn’t changed. Violence hasn't stopped. We need more from our leaders. Read it. Link in bio. #gunviolence #blog #blogger

Hey BlueSky crew! Been away for a minute. Hard to keep up with all these social media platforms. Anywhoodle, have the Epstein files been released? No? At least that's consistent.
