First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

We Pay for This Homeland Security Department Why, Exactly?
I worked 18 years in Disease Control. I’ve transported many HIV and some TB patients in my personal vehicle – and never thought twice.

Good thing Biden won’t need a job after his term – who’d hire someone with that kind of thing on their resume? Pelosi … Continue reading “Ramblings on Congress and Stuff”
You Can Do Something Now
I saw a comment online today that I found annoying, disheartening, infuriating and just so sad. That person said what many, many people are saying – what maybe you’ve said – it’s such a common sentiment. And ever so wrong. What did that person say? Simply that we will have to wait until the midterms before we can do anything about the state of our government. My reaction: Seriously? What the heck are they teaching in Civics nowadays? Do people … Continue reading “You Can Do Something Now”
