politics
Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.
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.

The Call to Action: Why the World Has to Stand by Ukraine
At the very core of Eastern Europe, a struggle rages that transcends across borders and ideologies. Ukraine is an independent country with an aspiration to be democratic, severely under attack and harrowing intimidation from its formidable neighbor, Russia. This conflict does not concern municipal disputes or political differences; rather, it is a frontline struggle for freedom, sovereignty, and global stability. With the world as witness, the stakes are quite plain: if we allow Ukraine to fall, Russia's ambitions will not end there. It will have far-reaching repercussions, threatening the peace and security of the entire world.

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.

What Do Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Supreme Court Have in Common?
The other day a couple of the people who represent the Jehovah’s Witness door-knockers and paper propaganda distribution detail stopped by to talk at me. I don’t mind that they come visit because they are well-meaning and what they never consider is entertaining to explore with them. They’re always concerned for my spiritual health and well-being but I can never help but notice they are infatuated with the actual words they read. They like them words a bunch, but they don’t care for the abstractions the words represent.

We Salute You EPD 🖕🏻
🖕🏻 Ephrata Police Department: The Salute You Earned Let’s talk about the Ephrata Police Department — a squad that manages to be fashionably late, perpetually ineffective, and laughably out of touch, all at the price tag of over $23,000 a day. Many residents are asking what they actually get for the annual Ephrata police budget of over $8.5 million. Let’s break it down.
