Don’t Come for Generation X Unless We Send For You (which we never will because we just want to be left alone)

A couple of days ago, I saw a video of a Gen X woman setting some young Gen Z and Gen Alpha’s to right when those whiny little brats decided to try and blame Generation X for voting for Ronald Reagan. The reason they wanted to go after Gen X is that they have discovered all the awful shit done under the Reagan Administration, such as slashing the corporate tax rate, legalizing stock buybacks,…

Stand or Fall: Take a Stand, Or Fall for Anything

Image by Sang Hyun Cho from Pixabay There’s an old saying that’s also a line in the song, ‘Take a Shot’ from the musical ‘Hamilton’: “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.” Yesterday I wrote about how I came up with a subtitle for my book ‘Breaking Radio Silence’ (which was: As Done By An Eldest Daughter). Today I got the subtitle for my book ‘Stand or Fall’: Take a…

Conversations From the Road – Tolerance Doesn’t Equal Silence

Yesterday in my Uber, I had an interesting conversation with a passenger. He was chatty, sounded upbeat, but when he started out by asking me what my political direction was, I blindsided him when I told him I’m liberal Democrat all the way. He then said he was from Canada and couldn’t understand how divided America was and I told him it’s not because of differing political beliefs, but a…

Stand or Fall – Divide and Conquer No More

After President Biden’s recent debate performance, calls began for him to withdraw from the Presidential race and step aside for someone else. Needless to say, the President has said he will NOT do that because the primary voters have spoken and voted him to be the nominee. But those of us in the Resistance, such as myself, see this call for him to drop out exactly for what it is: divide and…

Stand or Fall – A Date With An Audience, and Destiny

Tuesday, November 5, 2024 This is the date that will determine whether or not democracy stands, or falls in the United States. And as I write this, I have finally figured out what I have needed the most to write this book, ‘Stand or Fall’: The audience I want to reach the most with this book. Since I came up with this project in 2016, I’ve been trying to figure out how to write for the…

Stand or Fall – Cleaning Up the Mess

When President Joe Biden was elected in 2020, he said it would probably take about ten years to repair the worst of the damage not just from the previous administration, but from the last forty years or so. The damage is from forty years of trickle-down economics that gutted the middle-class and damn near brought this country into a major depression in 2020 when the pandemic hit. The damage is…

Stand or Fall – Good Government and Good Economic Policy

This past weekend, the US House of Representatives in an insane rush finally reached an agreement on a temporary spending bill to keep the US Government funded for the next forty-five days. A government shutdown would be a disaster as eight-hundred thousand government employees would go without a paycheck including all the members of the US Armed Forces. Why do Republican-majority Congresses do…
