I know that because I am not a moron — Republicans, instead of celebrating their dream come true — that is, “The Handmaid’s Tale” becoming reality — are oddly instead spending all their time howling that the real issue is that some monstrously vile liberal leaked a draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade. When a reporter asked Sen…

Their real agenda is to get rid of public schools entirely — I laid out in Smokescreen Politics Part One, my thesis that all the over-the-top, offensive and downright mean-spirited anti-woke gobbledygook from Republicans lately is all just a diversionary tactic.

Wow, then he is one piss poor puppet — This is just one of those rich and delicious “in case you missed it” items from the news. I just felt compelled to dash off a quick piece on this, just to brighten your day, as it certainly brightened mine. In fact, I did a spit take with my coffee…

Republicans are just trying to distract you, deliberately, while they work on their REAL agenda — This article is part one of a four-part string of articles I am writing.

I am happy to debate issues with anyone and figure out a compromise where there is mutual respect for different attitudes, beliefs, religions, whatever.

With a glimpse into each, I had the epiphany of where — thank goodness — I belong — I want to tell you a story. I want to tell you about two days in my life, the day I was invited to tag along to a Mormon church service, and the day when I worked up the courage to go to my very first Pride festival.
