WHY IS SHE LYING?

When I see her as an aggressive Republican lying, I wonder what’s behind it. Why does she so stubbornly insist on lying? Surely she’s desperate but it doesn’t show. It’s difficult to imagine she’s really afraid of punishment. Any suggestions? Have they started making even newborns damaged in that way? You’ll get a laugh out of this although it has a dark side if you think.

ONLY SIX YESTERDAY….

Published June 5, 2022 by Nan Mykel

Six humans slaughtered.

When will the killings come to your town? They came to Philadelphia and Chattanooga yesterday…

At least three people were killed and 11 injured Saturday when multiple people opened fire on Philadelphia’s busy South Street. At least three more died in a shooting later Saturday at a club in Chattanooga, Tennessee. For the moment, none of those six victims count as victims of “mass shootings”—a FBI designation that requires four deaths in a single incident. (Mother Jones, today’s date).

I live in Ohio, and on June 13, 2022 (a week from tomorrow) a permitless carry law goes into effect in my state. Unfortunate timing, eh? Any time humans are slaughtered is unfortunate.

Moreover, the NRA (National Rifle Association) touts itself as “America’s oldest civil rights organization.”

NO WORDS FOR IT

This photo was posted on the Daniel Defense Twitter account May 16 with the caption “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Daniel Defense is in the gun selling business (via abc news) NOTE that the shooter waited until he was 18 to purchase his weapon. He was following the law permitting him to.)

I can’t help it

Published June 4, 2022 by Nan Mykel

A fellow blogger wondered the other day if readers resent those who post every day. I want to say that I feel the need to post one, two or three times a day so my brain doesn’t drown. When I wake in the morning my mind starts sputtering and if I don’t get it out I could conk out or explode. Now there–I’m being melodramatic\; sorry. So I’m going to try and limit myself to one blog a day, but put the blogs together. But then, I love my Media Library photos, all 1200 of them. I’ve grown attached to them, and when I look at some of them I get inspired. Like the one above apparently by Nick Brandt.

This is early morning and I’m still being flooded. When I’m impetuous I often live to regret it, so I’ll change my mind now.

I’ll just tell you one good idea any of us could work on and maybe share with me, anyhow:

An everyday song needs to be written to an old catchy tune–one that keeps running through your mind, like You Are My Sunshine used to in my youth. To go with the catchy tune would be words about current events. A little two or four-step blog (the dancing kind) would automatically accompany this in a good-natured, jokey way. Goals this might accomplish:

Prevent a heart attack
Keep us in a good mood
Since it doesn’t have to be sung out loud, it can bolster you inside
Can numb you to what’s being thrown your way
Hopefully prevent you from being gunned down
May develop a talent you never knew you had
Help us love one another or at least the innocent babe they once were?
Fat chance, but at least it’s an idea.
Something to do in the pandemic
Include David McCormick’s being bullied out of his run for office by fellows

P.S. DON’T TRY TO SING IT TO ‘PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMMUNITION’….

REMEMBER WHEN

I just listened to a vocal via Google that I only recalled the title of and listened to sounds of several vocalists singing “Remember When…” Do you recall it? You can take a look and listen via the internet….The visuals are embracing as well as the sound of the words. I can remember when…folks were sane and tolerated one another….

REPOSTABLE QUOTES

Published May 25, 2022 by Nan Mykel

“As the tragic events in Uvalde, Buffalo, and hundreds of other places show, Republican Party today believes in the right to life for the unborn, but doesn’t care at all about the lives of the born.” —

Diane Ravitch shared Gloria Steinem’s solution to gun safety:

“How about we treat every young man who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants to get an abortion:

1. Mandatory 48-hour waiting period, parental permission, a note from his doctor proving he understands what he’s about to do, a video he has to watch about the effects of gun violence…

2. Close down all but one gun shop in every state and make him travel hundreds of miles, take time off work, stay overnight in a strange town to get a gun.

3. Make him walk through a gauntlet of people holding photos of loved ones who were shot to death, people who call him a murderer and beg him not to buy a gun.”

If we really cared about the right to life, this is what we would do.

what being without internet feelslike

Published May 20, 2022 by Nan Mykel

Lonely. Cut off. Going on 2 weeks without FRONTIER as an internet provider and carrier of my landline means being isolated — away from my blog and other friends. Probably my tv too, but I haven’t had the heart for that. (I’m still without FRONTIER–my daughter came from Atlanta and hooked me up to a downtown Athens internet at the Donkey Cafe.) Thank you, Donkey: hee haw. I missed you all. Oujr only other choice is Spectrum which I dropped due to poor service.
