Were You REALLY Surprised By The 2024 Election?
We all know what a joke our presidential elections have been for the last 12 years. It's been a bad road circus with rodeo clowns running the show, and they ONLY had a trapeze act. We keep this statement exactly as it is, and almost ALL Americans can agree with each other.

North Carolina Post-Election. Content Warning.
I live in the area of western North Carolina were Hurricane Helene hit. I've got friends and family members who could have been killed during the storm. It's a miracle that they weren't. My mother and I made it though because we live at a higher elevation. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris sent help to us right away as soon as they could. The National Guard had to wait until the fog cleared up enough for the helicopters to land safely. Providing us with much needed food, water, and emergency aid. They also sent crews to repair the roads and clear away the fallen trees. So that they could restore power and running water around the communities.

My Grandma & Your Grandma. Content Warning.
This will be my first post to the Swamp community. It may also be my last. If you're a friend of mine on this platform at the moment, you've probably noticed that I don't usually comment on political threads, either. There's a reason I don't spend time in this arena and this morning is a fine example.

I Don't Know What To Say. Content Warning.
Introduction I have no words for what happened. I did not see it coming, because I knew how it would destroy the lives of so many close friends. I can't find anything about this dark day. I always want to be positive and raise people's spirits but I am struggling today.

Whining About the Way Things Used to Be and the "Woke Mob"
I am fifty-one years old and, thus, a solid member of Generation X. We are knocking on the door of retirement, gathering energy for the last trudge uphill before the golden handshake and our collective journey into irrelevance.

The Changing Face of America
I live in Indiana. It's a 'Red State.' 🤢🤮 When Trump was elected President in the abysmal year of 2016, his Vice President was Mike Pence. Pence was the former governor of Indiana. Mike was a typical conservative in most ways. He was a notorious homophobe.

The Good, The Bad,The Political
So it's that time again. It feels like we can never truly escape it. I feel like I am beginning to understand the arguments from both sides of the aisle and can finally see where they are coming from. And that reality terrifies me because this whole race is rooted deep in our human nature of sin. I would even argue both sides are wrong. We are all fighting for the wrong things.

"End of the World"
Every time we are about to vote in the presidential election where Trump is a candidate (third time now, hopefully a charm to get him out of politics), I remember the "End of the World" episode of Trackdown that is eerily similar to our today's reality.
