Why Isn’t the Far Right Free to Accept Yes?
Reality is something to be dealt with. I know. Astounding, huh? Isn’t that just plain old common sense? I had always heard that reality happens in life and we’re all carried along in the direction the flow reality follows. We can adjust our perceptions to accommodate abrupt changes of direction which reality throws our way. However, that change of direction seems to be out of reach of a fair percentage of the American public. That segment of the population seems to be incapable of ever taking on new ideas or adjusting current ideas to better fit the reality we find ourselves in.

The Farce of Ephrata:
If you ever find yourself yearning for a crash course in how not to uphold the law, look no further than the Ephrata Police Department, where due process is more like an optional side dish than a main course. Let's dive deeper into this cesspool of legal absurdities.

Saturdat, 6 July 2024 By: TB Obwoge Every time a Ghanaian reads my posts they call me a liar, even things that I include from Ghana news outlets. You know why? Most don't even watch their own damn news!

Mediocrity: The Destructive Indulgence of the GOP
I have an idea with two unrelated sides that is bugging me these days. One side is the national infatuation with mediocrity and the other is the growing void which is brought about through deliberately indulging in disagreement. It appears to me that the two concepts are in symbiotic orbit around each other.

Four Promises/Four Pillars
Both Project 2025 AND The Heritage Foundation Mandate for Leadership The Conservative Promise have four pillars that summarize them. The news and memes mention Four Pillars but, although they are related and intertwined, they are not the same.

Observations On Labour's Victory. Top Story - July 2024.
Introduction In the UK on election day we finally saw the decimation of a party that has destroyed the infrastructure of this country, used the taxpayer to line its pockets, continually attacked and bullied the sick, the poor, and ethnic nationalities, promoted xenophobia, and hopefully, the Labour Party can start to repair the absolute mess left by the right-wing incompetent criminals also know as the conservatives (with the accent on CON) and the tories.

Eyes Wide Opened
Lots of talk about Project 2025. Where did it come from? Who leads it? Why now? This article is a beginning, a look into the platform, the people building it, and the verbiage they are using. It is not an impartial telling, because I am not, in fact, in favor of it. But I'm determined to share their words and ideas so you can make up your own mind. A deeper dive into the platform will follow, and be linked to this article once available.

I think I may have to vote
I wasn't upset when they told me that I couldn't vote anymore. I didn't want to go through the red tape to reinstate my voting privilege. I figured there's no way to ever vote for the right person, and I don't trust the voting system anyway. I've had my opinions about my country, the structure, principles, constitution, legislation, and history. I've been watching things change since the Reagan administration. I could recap all the follies of every Presidency I've endured since 1971. But I won't waste your time with my skewed historical summary. Instead, I will just say that of the three "taboos" (sex, religion, and politics) Americans seem quite satisfied taking on religion and politics, but they are still the most hush hush and hypocritical when it comes to sex.
