So, the agenda-setting New York Times is finally admitting that the Hunter Biden laptop story wasn’t Russian misinformation at all (the MSM networks seem to be ignoring the story for now, sort of like whistling past a possible cemetery. But if the Times is saying it, they will have to come around to acknowledging the … Continue reading

Meandering Monday about the Danger of Assuming Everyone is Just Like Yourself
We’re all human. That is a comforting phrase that attempts to peel away our differences, in an attempt to reduce suspicion of those of us and develop some empathy – or at least some understanding. We’re all human – but I’m not so sure about them… that’s more like the way NORMAL people think (although … Continue reading
Meandering Monday about The Uncivil Hazards of Social Media
Technology has brought us many gifts, one of biggest ones has been the internet. Whether you’re trying to find, buy or sell product, or learn something new, seeking information, news, or like-minded people, it’s all out there. You can talk with anyone in the world at any given moment (barring, of course, those who have … Continue reading
Meandering Monday about the Divisive Damage of Forced Unity
You cannot force UNITY of thought, especially when facts are not only ignored, but forbidden. Continue reading
Meandering Monday about Gas-lighting US Into a Dimmer Tomorrow…
When I was in my teens, I wondered about how I could know that the news I was seeing was true. After all, the Soviets (that’s what Russia used to be, “back in the USSR, boys…”) had their own news that they claimed was true, how did I know what REALITY was? One of my … Continue reading
Meandering Monday about Which Poison to Pick
My superpower is luck – more properly SERENDIPITY. Even when bad things happen to me, the silver lining becomes apparent. I like to tell myself that I usually land on my feet in a better position – it’s not always that way, but when do you see a cat act like that fall he just … Continue reading
Meandering Monday about Whether It’s Really the Acting
I used to act (I really think we all act – we have our exits and our entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts. Sorry for the plagerism, William Shakespeare…) Seriously, all of us, whether we choose to admit it or not, are actors. We perform different roles depending on our audience. … Continue reading
Meandering Monday about Where We Stand (Or Will We?)
So much narrative… As we wrap up 2020 (even though it’s intent on sucking up the air of 2021), theer are so many things troubling me that I need to give voice to. I should really be trying harder to keep this blog from straying into the overtly political – the problem is, EVERYTHING is … Continue reading
Meandering Monday about the Silencing of Dissent
As John Adams said, our form of government was made for a moral people. If you are willing to lie under oath, what can be done about it? People throughout our country are sworn to uphold our Constitution, to protect the country from enemies both foreign and domestic. They swear their oaths, and all seems … Continue reading
Meandering Monday about Losing Our Individual Minds
In my time in IT, I’ve seen companies go through phases. They start out in total ownership of their software, having their own people working on it. Then they look at their ledger sheets and notice that they’re actually having to pay for those people, and they think they can save themselves some bottom line … Continue reading
