So, I noticed you commented on a post from a “major” religious figure (you know, the person’s initials are “FG”). But, due to the way FB sometimes works, I wasn’t able to see the actual comment – maybe since there were a few hundred thousand other comments to that post (and why the FB algorithm […]
The Blog
Relaxing
My kind of weather today – currently 75, high of 79. Got all my windows open, listening the various birds chirping, some minor road traffic from the county road 1/2 mile away. And, then, there are my backyard neighbors, with their air conditioner running full tilt. Weird thing is, it looks as though their back […]
Mr. Trump and his Tweets following “Orlando”
Presidential Candidate Donald Trump and his Twitter tweets (please see the above photo), in chronological order, since Mr. Trump became aware of the mass killings in Orlando.

Mr. Trump and his comment regarding Elizabeth Warren
“Pocahontas”. Ok, I’m pretty sure President Obama has someone on his staff doing his Twitter remarks for him. I’m guessing that both Senator Sanders and Secretary Clinton also have people to do that kinda stuff too. (yes, probably both candidates have input and/or are consulted at times, before a tweet is twittered – but, my […]
Chewbacca Mom and internet haters
Article on money “made” by the Chewbacca “Mom” First: Good for her! She made us laugh. She made lots (thousands, if not millions) of us laugh as we watched her laugh. Second: How can anyone feel a need to hate or criticize her for getting/making money off of her video? Doesn’t make any sense to […]
