Right As Usual

As promised, here is the placeholder for the ongoing list of SMALL Topics.

NO. Those on the Left - the GOOD side of politics - do not censor. Wanna Bet? 

I used to have a horrible temper. As a kid, I would throw MAJOR temper tantrums when I couldn't get my way. This continued WAY past a normal time for such indulgees. Well, I grew out of it. I still have my furious moments, but can generally keep my temper in check today. Not today, however. When my husband turned on The View, and that Cabal of Witches began spewing their self satisfied 3 Minute Hate, I snapped. I gathered my pi update stuff, brought the fan with me, and closed the door on my office. I'm done trying to counter bias with reason. I don't plan to leave, nor start a fight. But when I hear people start that shit, I'm leaving the room. I'm walking away. Not gonna engage, not gonna waste my breath, just walking away. Share

It's been 11 days since Charlie Kirk died. He was murdered by a Leftist fanatic, who apparently believed that any opposition to his position constituted actual violence, therefore, killing Kirk was justified. For talking about issues and positions. In public. With the belief that respectful disagreement - what is called debate - of those positions was a peaceful way to begin to reduce the level of hatred in America. And, I do say that strong term, HATRED, as too many passionate have come to allow their passions to overcome a recognition of common humanity it their opponents. Opponents. Not only those who physically attack them without provocation. Not only them who use anonymous reports or pressure on people in position of power to cause their victims to lose jobs, banking and credit who see no evil in arranging to have their opponents arrested or SWATTED, have their home set afire, or through their actions to cause an unstable person(s) to commit crimes against that person or thei...

That's what my week is looking like. It's completely my own fault.  I'd been reading mostly "Comfort Reading" this summer. The first part of the year had been personally stressful (Dead brother-in-law, husband with persistent respiratory infection, suddenly having to hunt down an assisted living place for my brother, my daughter's open heart surgery, my own knee replacement surgery and recovery.) It was a lot to cope with. So, this summer, as part of my healing process, I chose what might be called Cotton Candy Reading.  Light. Not dark. Melts away quickly. Over the last month, I'd tired of the fluff, and turned to more serious acticity. Right now, I'm reading Jack Cashill's TWA 800. It's very detailed and informative, and sheds light on some of the minor, or behind the scenes players. Many of them were Obama acolytes. Some are still hanging around making trouble for Trump. -----------------------------------------------------------------------...

And so do I. First, the medical issues are gradually resolving. On this, the third day of high steroids, I am breathing more easily. I'm still achy (had to go off pain meds while on steroids), but its manageable. The course of treatment comes with some side effects - fluid retention, thinning skin (had a massive nose bleed last night), and the potential for bone loss with long-term use. But for short term problems, it's like jump starting your body. I'm keeping up on current events, but not in depth. Just do not have the energy for tasks that are not urgent. Those that are keeping on politics and culture, and writing their summaries and commentary have my gratitude. Share
