https://www.rawstory.com/judd-blevins/ I’ve been trying to stay away from politics lately. Other than some posts in 2020 that I have deactivated, that is. This is just too — something — to avoid. I knew about this a couple of months ago. I saw a flyer that was passed out, I don’t remember if it was passed […]

I have been listening to a podcast lately. I got way behind on this podcast, and am slowly catching up. One of the episodes from Dec 2020 was about the Constitution Center. https://constitutioncenter.org/ This site has an interactive version of the constitution, allowing you to learn what each section says. The work was done by […]

I started writing this last week. June 28 we had the primaries in OK. It’s interesting. I’m registered as an independent so I can only use the democratic ballot in the primaries. Republicans don’t have open primaries like Democrats do, at least here in Oklahoma. Every time I vote, I’m reminded of some of my […]

I subscribe to a newsletter from Popular Information. From everything I can tell, he’s apolitical, which I like, since I’m a political independent. I like how Judd and his team investigate corporations, their political donations, their corporate messaging and comparing it to everything reported in SEC filings. For example, corporations promised not to donate to […]

So, occasionally, I take the time to read the MSN home page. There are always fluff stories, and ones that are biased. I also look at whatever pops up for stories on my Chrome new tab page on my phone, and through Flipboard, which comes with my phone as well – yes, I have a […]

Ok, so I love pretty much all of the podcasts from HowStuffWorks.com.  Stuff You Missed in History Class? Great.  TechStuff?  Fascinating.  Today, I’m catching up on the podcasts from Stuff They Don’t Want You to Know.  I don’t listen to this one as much, but it’s a fun look anyway.  Podcasts on alchemy, cattle mutilation, […]

Now when the subject of gun control comes up, everyone always gets so upset. You hear a lot of ‘they’re coming to take our guns’ etc. That’s not the answer. Those who say that making guns illegal will ensure only criminals have guns. The answer is much simpler. Make more thorough checks when selling guns. […]

https://www.yahoo.com/parenting/thousands-of-texans-have-tried-to-give-selves-171908821.html I swear it seems I know people more than I realize. I guess it just comes from looking at history. I’ve repeatedly told my mother that banning abortions is not a good idea, no matter how much you hate the idea of abortions. Women who would have an abortion are just that desperate, they’ll […]

I keep seeing a picture going around Facebook that says ‘When someone tries to pull you into their drama, remind yourself not my circus, not my monkeys.’ I always laugh at that, and try to remember when the drama happens at home. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the place to live, but sometimes I […]

So, as a joke in 2007, I posted that I wanted Bernie Sanders to run for president.  (link is here – opens in a new window). Now, Yahoo! says that he’s considering running for president.  He also said if he does, he’ll run to win. (link is here – opens in a new window). Does this […]
