My mind autocorrects to communist every time it sees democrat.Liberal privilege, they don't realize that they have it because it's systemic.If you knew how far I am willing to go to be left alone you would leave me alone.When it comes to our mask mandate, I'm reminded of how effective chicken wire is at protecting…

New Beginnings.
I am now, at the age of 64, on par with the guy who lives with his mom in the basement. I really wish that I had kept a better record on how I got here, but I will try to reconstruct events in a truthful way that will probably seem to some like a…
We Are Going To Lose Our Country.
I wrote this a year or two ago. At the time, I would have never believed we would be here so quickly.... We are being torn apart from the inside out. Instead of giving thanks for what we have, we are being told by many of our public servants to lust after someone else's possessions.…

The questions never really changed.
As a very young child, I remember two reoccurring questions that would run through my mind randomly. It was always like I was on the verge of, but could never quite work out the answer. Who am I? Why am I here? Looking back, this seems like a very profound thing for a child of…
