No Time to Waste

For some time, we have been curious about the possibility of the Earth’s magnetic poles flipping. As mentioned in last week’s blog, many facets of our lives depend on the Earth’s magnetic field which is anchored by the North and South poles. The science nerd in us is wondering if we are overdue for this event since the last magnetic flip was some 780,000 years ago during the Stone Age. A flip in the poles would disrupt animal species, human technology, cause power outages, and interrupt radio communications. Some think that this would cause a global cataclysmic event as the Earth’s magnetic poles reverse. A number of scientists suggests that data indicates that we may be in the early stages…

DeSantis on the Loose – The Muting of the State

There is a joke that when the political toilet is flushed, it all flows down to Florida. So true and many vile politicians have already made it to Florida like the current Gov. Ron DeSantis. Little Donnie, as he is called, is backed by the “former guy” and has chosen to run “his” state like a Putin’s paradise. His regime supports the irrational “big lie” that the election was stolen and, under his rule, the democratic system is under constant attack. This includes his flagrant attacks on voting rights, assistance for those in financial crisis, the freedoms of peaceful protesters, rights of transgendered athletes, and that of local governments' abilities to make their own decisions. Little Donnie lives and rules…

ENOUGH

It would be nice if we could write every week about how to save the butterflies and the bees on this earth. But the reality is that we must keep talking about how to save each other. How do we save our souls, our young, and, especially, those persons of color from the disease of racial injustice that is taking over this country? No matter if you raise your hands, comply with orders, or are in your own home and in your own bed, if you are black or brown, you can become a victim, killed or crippled by police gun violence. It should be impossible for anyone to ignore the disease of police violence and random murder in this…

Take a Stand!

This is soon becoming the year where some form of daily blatant racism is demonstrated by several of our Congressional and State “leaders.” We see this particularly in the South with lawmakers embracing regulations to suppress the vote and deny the basic rights of freedom to black and brown people. We do not have to ask why the historic Jim Crow laws or Poll Taxes have become a recurrent topic of conversation in states such as Georgia and Florida. We remain genuinely concerned about hate groups that are rapidly growing in this country. As we fly our American flag in the North and the South, it is intended to stand for the principles of democracy, justice, and freedom. The purpose…

Be A Rosie

It is not enough to just move on following the year of a devastating pandemic with a novel virus.We have all lived through an incredible piece of our past. In times of national crisis, our government has always worked to find a solution to a catastrophe. For example, the War Powers Act of 1941 and 1942 retooled US factories to turn out airplanes, engines, and guns. President Roosevelt called this the ”arsenal of democracy.” Persons like Rosie the Riveter emerged as a political example of this movement where American men and women stepped up in droves to fight the ravages of WWII. Almost everyone served their part no matter what role they played. Later, the Defense Production Act was passed…

The Vaccine Club

We suddenly find ourselves in the Vaccine Club. Prior to that, we had vowed to drive up to two hours from home to get the COVID vaccine if we had to. After registering in seven counties in Florida, we were surprisingly chosen from the lottery in our home county to get the Moderna vaccine. Having never won a lottery before, we were thrilled. We hopped in our car the next day, got in line at the drive-thru along with the other cars, greeted the Nurses, stuck out our arms, and waited 30 minutes in our car prior to driving home. With what took just a little over an hour, we found ourselves in the club. The Vaccine Club! While on…

It’s All About the Vaccine

You cannot walk down the street in our neighborhood and not meet someone who is either asking us if we have had the vaccine or reporting that they have had it or complaining about the horrible system for distributing it. We know that several of our readers have reported that they have gotten their C-19 vaccine and this is terrific news. Despite efforts to address the vaccine rollout, the process has thus far been complicated in some areas. Complicated by governors who are making unhealthy decisions for their residents. In Florida, Gov. DeSantis had encouraged tourists to come for vac vacations, otherwise known as “vaccine tourism,” and receive their vaccines while in Florida. People came from out of state and…

A Tattered Democracy

Trump His People His Crime His Guilt It’s the End of the Senate Trial. Picture Mitch McConnell talking out of both sides of his chins telling one story, then another. Oh, sure, Trump is super guilty but it is too late to prosecute him because McConnell intentionally made it too late. What a loser! We have once again been reminded that you cannot find justice with a jury that is filled with accomplices. The Insurrection at the Capitol resulted in 140 wounded Capitol Police Officers, lost fingers, eye injuries, a heart attack, one murder, and 2 suicides. The mob event on January 6th has many officers, employees, and Representatives forever in mental turmoil and in a state of PTSD. As…

Trump’s Tentacles

Sometimes, we run across facts that are too good to be true, too real not to note, too relevant or humorous to pass up. We have found one and are eager to share it with you. If you live near the shore or have ever visited the beach, you are probably quite aware of jellyfish. Jellyfish are scary creatures that you might find interesting but never want to encounter. You are probably wondering why jellyfish? One would have never guessed but we have made a giant discovery regarding Donald Trump and jellyfish. We cannot pass up the opportunity to share this with you. To follow along, you will need to call on your imagination. Let us start with jellyfish, and,…

The Ghost of a President Past

As the Senate Impeachment trial takes shape, how timely that it has been reported that “Q Party” Donald Trump has had a long-standing, close relationship with Russia. It was reported last week that the KGB Soviet spy agency and, later, Russian intelligence cultivated Donald Trump as an “asset” for 40 years, a former spy told The Guardian in a bombshell interview. And the Kremlin was delighted with the results said former KGB Major, Yuri Shvets, who now lives in Virginia. The article reports: The KGB and Czechoslovakian agents first noticed Trump in 1977 when he married his first wife, Czech Ivana Zelnickova, Shvets told The Guardian. “For the KGB, it was a charm offensive,” he explained. “They had collected a…
