Megan Rapinoe, I guess she is pretty good at women's soccer. I also guess she hates Trump and everybody who likes him (I have not followed the story and know little more than this about her). I saw that she, like so many, does not want to go to the White House, that going there …

Hate Speech
I'm seeing more and more articles on the regulation of hate speech. At first glance this sounds great. They say, "Let's stop threatening speech that advocates violence and stop speech that "attacks a person or a group on the basis of protected attributes such as race, religion, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, …
My Friend Pat
I thank God for you Pat, for you have refreshed my spirit. Your life is exciting, inspirational, and faithful. You are Godly, kind, humble, fun, and full of joy. Riding Going to the Sun Road I took a chance on hiring you at my outdoor store when you were but 16 years old. For all …
Not So “Bad!”
Someone, a friend, once used the word "bad" to describe President Trump. It's a simple word. It can mean many things but it is used most frequently to mean some form of low quality, unpleasantness, or evil. For my friend, I understand completely her use of the term to describe her hate of the President. …
“My Pillow”
One might say I'm more of a radical, than a rebel. Before our retirement tour began, I ate my first Chick-Fil-A sandwich, bought President Trump's MAGA hat, and got one of Mike Lindell's "My Pillow's" for our retirement tour. Sure, I could have brought my luxurious down pillow, bought a Glacier Park hat, or tried …
Prequel – 1961 Metro Van Tour
I'm still working on a few last minute fixes before I head out to pick up Jackie. So until then, a few of you were interested in what the van looked like before I started the renovation. I've put together a mess of photo's for you to see below. I'll not bore you all with …
“An Articulate President”
"Unfortunately we don't have an articulate president!" This statement and critism about our president I saw in a Facebook thread this morning. It's mostly a true statement, and I'll not argue against it by itself or in context. But we should not confuse having the ability to speak fluently and coherently with having the ability …
Pantsuit Envy
This one is sure to get me in trouble with some, but here goes. It happens that whenever I read, wherever I get my news, there are gobs of articles about women seeking equality or protesting their tribe as oppressed and suppressed in society. For me it is actually sad that this taxonomic category has …
Progressive “Christianity”
It's complex, but progressive Christianity is in general a false religious system. It centers around not Christ, but around sinful practices. It is a culturally acceptable rebellion against traditional, and dare I say biblical, truths. It twists scripture and forthrightly denies all teachings it disagrees with. It uses Christianity as it's platform, and sinful behavior as …
Public Opinion – Bad
It's more than amusing, it's odd that people construct notions of acceptability on grounds of public opinion. In fact, public opinions are managed by ideologues and most people are coerced into believing their dogma. At this point we, as a society, are constrained by this moral force formally called "public opinion." The oddity, for me, …
