Helicopter parents are the absolute WORST nightmare of every teacher and school administrator alive. (And, to tell you the truth, quite a few employers. I kid you not.) These people are so overly invested in making absolutely certain that their offspring are NEVER offended, NEVER have to encounter any obstacles on their journey to adulthood,Continue reading “Seriously? We’re Going To Make This Into Laws??”

Here They Come Again!
Oh, yeah, they’re back at it again. If you are reading this, you will probably remember the uproar about the “Religious Freedom Act” that would have allowed people and businesses around the state to discriminate based on their “profoundly and deeply held religious beliefs”. Well, it’s back. SB 180. Same name, too. Randy Robertson D-29Continue reading “Here They Come Again!”
And We All Thought Playground Bullies Were THE WORST!
Who knew? I know I sure didn’t. The boys of NeverNever Land thought that Peter Pan was bringing Wendy to be like their own little “mom” to put them to bed at night, kiss their boo-boo’s, and bake cookies. (Tinkerbelle didn’t think much of the idea.) Elmer Stewart Rhodes will be sentenced sometime in theContinue reading “And We All Thought Playground Bullies Were THE WORST!”
Bass Ackwards
That was my grandmother’s phrase for something like this when she wanted to use profanity and knew she couldn’t as the wife of a very prominent deacon in the church. (Grandma was a pistol, let me tell you. If you’ve ever seen The Beverly Hillbillies, you’ve seen a version of her. Granny Clampett was theContinue reading “Bass Ackwards”
Learning To Receive
As humans, we are geared to be the ones who give to someone else. It just feels odd to be the one who accepts something when you have no possible way of giving a gift back or doing a favor in return. It’s why it is so difficult to fundraise for charities, political campaigns, orContinue reading “Learning To Receive”
Christian Nationalism
EXCELLENT blog post on the topic. Just stumbled across this one. People have a hard time with that ‘label’ and I don’t blame them a bit. It is a concept that does sort of resist wrapping your mind around. The fundamental truth of it is this: it is Nazism wrapping itself in a veneer ofContinue reading “Christian Nationalism”
Wolves Hiding In Plain Sight
Some Georgians can start voting this week. I’ve already gotten my mail-in ballot and will put that back in the mail ASAP. I have no intention of allowing my vote to go uncounted. Neither does my husband or his 100 year old mother. We vote. Vote is a verb which, in case you’ve forgotten, isContinue reading “Wolves Hiding In Plain Sight”
A Chief Justice Who Isn’t So Chief
Please be aware this is only my opinion. I have always had an abiding interest in all things in the law including the SCOTUS. I am NOT an attorney. C.J. John Roberts is and always has been a conservative judge. Some of his opinions I haven’t particularly agreed with, but some I have. He tendsContinue reading “A Chief Justice Who Isn’t So Chief”
Desperate Wannabe Despot
Donald John Trump Senior has officially declared his candidacy for the THIRD TIME for the Presidency of the United States of America. God help us all. Once was more than enough for me. I wasn’t all that crazy about Hillary Clinton but I knew he was a rotten, low-down stinker from the jump. What IContinue reading “Desperate Wannabe Despot”
What Do Democrats Have To Offer? — Filosofa’s Word
This is a post that I read and enjoyed. She copied/pasted an article of Bernie Sanders that I find very pertinent to what I want to work toward. We do have more to offer than the Republican fascists. They are retro-gressive in their viewpoints. We want to move forward. They want to move us BACKWARDS.Continue reading “What Do Democrats Have To Offer? — Filosofa’s Word”
