    From the local paper  –  Dated July 18, 2020. Stick with me here. I’m looking at word choice, not content. INDIANAPOLIS Two men were charged Friday in an assault on a Black man during which someone threatened to ‘get a noose’ after claiming… . In a typical newspaper style, the sentence is like two paragraphs… Read more

    Just thinking here. Bare with me. I’m definitely not a history buff, although I feel like I really should become one.    I need to stop watching crime documentaries and turn to war ones instead. Anyway,  civil wars are generally started by differences in religious beliefs and ideology.   From my quick skimming, the majority… Read more

    A Letter on Justice and Open Debate This article is kind of funny. From what I can make out from it — as writers like to use a lot of big words, especially when they’re together, these people are feeling that the liberal arts are being threatened. This would include writers, journalists, and artists of… Read more

    There’s going to be a rally in Tulsa Oklahoma in about from now. I think this is really going to be a make or break thing on the Covid front. There’s supposed to be something like 19,000 people for an inside rally.   There’s another one that’s supposed to happen outside. So, in two weeks,… Read more

  • Thie Iowa Caucus has happened, Not a lot has changed on the Democratic side. Bernie and Pete have emerged the favorites. Not surprising, really.  Warren continues her slow slide backward.   She started out hot, but the unveiling of her healthcare system was a self-inflicted wound. I think the big thing with that is not having… Read more

    Personally, I’d like to know the reasoning behind hiring a firm owned by Hillary to be in charge of the electronic voting in Iowa. Given her past performance with all things electronic, did they think that she’d Windex the computers, Swiffer the floors, and pledge the servers? During her election run, this is the woman… Read more

  • I’m being full-on lazy today. It’s just after 12:30 and I’ve napped most of the morning away… which is very much unlike me but it feels pretty good, actually.  I’ve been aching for the past week or so, weather-related I’m guessing, and I’ve been really bad about taking my meds. Yeah, I’ll get a move… Read more

  • 1/28 — Thinking/ramble

    Okay. I’m thinking of an idea and I don’t know if it’ll come out right.    This is definitely rambling while I freewrite and try piece this together. Politics have been huge.   Like huge huge, but it wasn’t always this way.  We have the left and the right. At one point… like back in the… Read more

    Jason isn’t back from his Tampa class yet, so I thought I’d give this another go before I fall asleep. I’m listening to: While it says super intelligence and memory, I’m about ready to just pass out.  It’s gently sapping my energy. Recent impressions of the new year – Retail.    Since I’m in a… Read more

  • News and other things

    Just some random thoughts. A lot of people are pushing for electric cars or, at least hybrid cars. Okay.   That’s fine.  Cool, but the main gist is to buy a new car and get into debt. I’m not sure how that helps the average person. The last I checked, cars are expensive.   And, while the… Read more
