To You Conservative Christians Who Follow Trump

1892 And 1893 Columbian Expo Halves

 

After Last Week

It should be very clear that the Republican Party is a party of racists, and the Supreme Court is just as complicit.

They Hate You

If you're black,if you're a woman if you're gay or trans, if you're an immigrant.

You Know You’re Getting Old..

When you start needing reading glasses!

 

Proud Of My Hone State

Thank you Virginia!  There's nothing wrong with fighting fire with fire me Texas redid their congressional districts  because Trump told them to, so if they can do it any state should be able to do it.

Blasphemy To The Max

Trump comparing himself to God 

Who Would Have Guessed

That the best leader the US has is living in Italy?

I Wish I Lived In An Alternate Universe

Where the Florida recount was completed, Obama never made that joke about Trump at the correspondent's dinner., and people weren't afraid to vote for 2 strong women.

Make It Make Sense-Boy Moms

 

This Is Crazy

Teams giving players contract extensions before they even play a game in the majors.

Some Of These Modern Day Christians

Would have fit right in  with the people  who praised Jesus one day then called for him to be crucified the next.

As A Collector….

I may keep one, but if I come across any of these proposed new dollar bills with Trump’s signature, they will go in trash where they belong!

Spring Breaks Of The Past

I’m on Spring Break from School this week, so I’ was thinking about the 2 best Spring Break weeks of my life:

1984:7th Grade-Became a  fan of Rock music

1989: Senior in High School-Nothing on Tv, tuned into an Orioles game, became a sports fan

Let Me Repeat…

I’m not anti-gun, I’m pro-responsible use. My Dad was a hunter, and he was pretty safe with his guns.

If My Pastor

Starts spouting off that the war in needed to trigger the Second Coming, I’m out.  I think Dan has better sense then that, so I’m not too concerned, but you never know…

Waking Up…

Like it’s 2003 again, the US in another war in the Middle East.

Some Good News To Offset All The Trouble In The US

Both the US Men’s and Women’s Hockey Teams won the Gold!  Team USA didn’t feature any      players from my Washington Capitals, but Logan Thompson and Tom Wilson, bringing the Silver home for Canada is something to be proud of as well!

Just Remember This…

Al Capone wasn’t arrested for being a mobster, but for tax evasion.

Mom And Dad On The Infamous Cruise

 

I'm Kind Of Glad I Can't Have Kids

If I had kids and they had to go through what I did in school, I'd be in prison for murder.

The Most Unusual Coin In My Collection

 

Pondering My Collection

 

Really Enjoying It

I’m really having a good time going back to college.  This has been a lot better experience than my last time. No people picking on me, just peace…

What’s Good For The Goose…

If a baker can refuse to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple, then anyone should be able to refuse to serve a MAGA person.

A Disturbing Trend

I’ve been watching so-called “boy moms” on Tiktok and it is quite concerning.  Moms, your son is your child, not a boyfriend or substitute husband.  Don’t have a nervous breakdown because your son may have a girlfriend or get married.  Love your son, but don’t control him! Let him be his own person.

In A World Of Ashli Babbitts….

I Am Ashamed To Be An American

Masked thugs with no law enforcement training killing an innocent driver and the government making up lies about it.

Shales My Head

I was reading about how some men whose wives/girlfriends develop serious illnesses like cancer leave them.  I could never do that. What kind of man bails on the woman they supposedly love during her time of need? For married men, what ever happened to “in sickness and health?”

Happy New Year

For my fellow Americans, let's hope that 2026 is better than 2025!

Crosby At Christmas

 

What I’m Looking For

I’m looking for a woman who will love me despite all my quirks, doesn’t mind my weight, and will stick by me no matter what. Am I asking for too much?

The Orioles Shopping List

After signing Pete Alonso, the Orioles still need 1 or 2 starting pitchers. Here are some suggestions, if you’re listening, Mike Elias:

Free Agents:

Framber Valdez: Power lefty, he’s a workhorse, postseason experience.

Ranger Suarez: Another lefty, not as hard throwing as Valdez, but can give you innings, a low ERA, and wins.

Michael King: Injured a bit last year, but in his first full season of starting in 2024, had an ERA under 3.00, and 200 plus strikeouts.

Trade:

Freddy Peralta: 26 is his walk year, don’t want to make the same mistake we made last time we made a trade with the Brewers and not sign him to an extension. A power pitcher.

Sandy Alcantara: Former Cy Young winner. Had Tommy John surgery 2 years ago, so should be completely recovered, if past patients are any indication.

Edward Cabrera: Strikes out a lot of batters, but can sometimes lose control.

And in the reaml of fantasy:

Tarik Skubal. The best pitcher in baseball.  Give up the farm IF AND ONLY IF you can extend him.

Coincidence? I Think Not

Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has had his worse season after his rambling speech bashing women.

The Arizona Cardinals are 1-9 since Charlie Kirk’s funeral  was held at their home stadium.

I’m With Ms. Rachel

Wanting Palestinian children to not be killed in the fighting in Gaza is not antisemitism, it’s basic human decency.

What I’m Thankful For

Lord, thank you for:

Family

Friends

My Church Family

Good Health so far

Living in a free country

Another good day

And so much more…

 

Poor Caroline

She lost her father and an Uncle to murder

She lost her Mother to cancer

She lost her brother in a plane crash

She’s losing her daughter to cancer

Her cousin has lost his mind

Keep strong Girl!

 

I’m No Catholic

But I’m becoming a fan of Pope Leo.  He seems to be a man of tremendous faith, cares about everyone, no matter what religion they are, and is walking the walk.  He is one Christian who takes Jesus’ command to care for immigrants, the poor, and those less fortunate seriously.  And that he’s pissed off MAGA doesn’t hurt his standing with me either…Well done, Your Holiness!

Let’s Get One Thing Straight

A teenage girl is still a child, not a grown woman!

Did You Believe Any Of These?

 

You Are No Christian

If you cheer at elderly, disabled, poor working, or kids not being able to  eat. Jesus would be ashamed of you.

Let Them Eat Cake

Trump builds a billion dollar ballroom onto the White House while millions of people are having their food benefits cut.

I May Have Found My Calling

Maybe writing is the thing for me. I’ve got so many ideas going through my head, I literally can’t sleep at night.  I’ve written a bunch of fanfiction, and am working on some short stories/possible novels.We shall see..

If Trump Can Get A Third Term..

I’d gladly vote for Bill Clinton or Barack Obama. Hell, If they didn’t want to run, I’d vote for George W. Bush.

The Best Game I’ve Ever Watched?

Last night’s game 3 or the World Series was one for the ages. Let’s See:

The best player in Baseball reaching base 9 times, with 4 intentional walks

Freddie Freeman hitting a walkoff homer for the second Word Series in a row

A strike that wasn’t a strike resulting in a pickoff

An incredible relay throw to cut off a potential game winning run in extra innings

A Hall of Fame bound  pitcher getting a clutch out in probably his final appearance in the big leagues

Several clutch pitching performances

We’ll see if any of the remaining games can top this!

Oh Amanda

How can I get your attention to talk to you, get to know you better, and let  you know that I’m interested in you? We have so much in common!

Trump Is Taking A Wrecking Ball To The White House…

Both literally and figuratively.  He’s doing more damage than the British did in 1812.

Just Leaves Me Scratching My Head

In one of my college classes we are doing a discussion of the Holocaust.  For those who don’t believe it happened, how do you explain it? Did 6 million people just disappear off the face of the Earth?

If You Can’t Accept Me Because Of My Weight And Looks

That’s your problem, not mine!  It still gets on my nerves every once in a while, but not as much as it used to. I shouldn’t have to change myself to get your approval.

Charlie Kirk Was Not A Nice Guy

He was a racist, homophobe, Christian Nationalist anti-woman bigot. That being said, he didn’t deserve to be gunned down either.  I don’t know if we can ever get back to political parties being able to agree to disagree.  Differences of opinion should not result in violence. And let us not forget  about former Minnesota House speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog, who were victims of a political based murder a few months back.

Remember This, Donald

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.

Theodore Roosevelt

National Bank Note From My Hometown

 

The Hypocrisy Of It All

Where were all of the GOPers who are mourning Charlie Kirk’s  murder when Melissa Hortman, former speaker of the Minnesota house of representatives, her husband, and dog were shot and killed, and a state senator and his wife were shot and severely injured?  Oh right, because the Minnesota victims were Democrats.

To Those Who Bullied Me In School…

Be glad Reddit wasn’t around back then. I would have not vowed revenge on you, but r/nuclearrevenge.

Make It Make Sense!

So…getting shot and killed while trying to overthrow the government gets you a burial with military honors at Arlington, and you family gets 5 million dollars?!

Any Parent…

Who would disown their own child because of their sexual orientation is no parent. What ever happened to unconditional love?

When did caring for America’s most vulnerable kids become political?

Good Advice

 

A Confession

I’ve told you all about how bad it was in school, how I was bullied all the time because of my weight.  But what I didn’t tell you was that it got so bad at times that I wanted  to end it all.  The pain and humiliation was so bad I just wanted to kill myself.  I felt like no one, not my teachers, not the school administration, not even my parents cared about me, and that everyone would be better off if I ceased to exist.  Thankfully, I never went through with my plans.  If you’re in the same situation, don;t give up.  Keep looking until you find someone that will listen to you and take you seriously.

I’m A Christian..

That practices the teachings of Jesus.  I show compassion for those down on their luck, do not hate anyone because they think differently then me, don’t condemn Gays or minorities, support immigrants.  Too bad most of these politicians who claim to be Christian don’t follow the same path!

Letting Poor People Starve……

But coming up with 200 million to build a ballroom onto the White House. Just another reason to call for a general strike.  The French had it right back in the 1790’s…

The Crown Jewels Of My Collection

 

If Anything Good Has Come Out Of Losing My Parents...

Is that my oldest sister Julie and I have gotten closer  She's 11 years older then me, and was out of the house, married, and had a kid before I was 6 or 7.  Aside from seeing her a couple of weeks during the summer when I was in my teens, we didn't see much of each other.  Even after we moved here to West Virginia and we lived right next to each other, we still didn't talk much, because she and Mom didn't get along.  But since our parents are now both gone, we see and talk to each other every day.  She's been such a help...

Today’s FAFO Award

Goes to Florida GOP representative Kat Cammack, who nearly died because doctors in her home state took their time in treating her ectopic pregnancy because they were afraid that  they’d be in trouble for providing an “abortion” in violation of laws  passed by the congressworman’s own party.

The United States Is Devolving…

Into a third world country, with  politically motivated killings, and people being arrested for just asking questions. For those of you who voted for this, I hope you’re proud of yourselves.

Success!

Just Remember…

Your past doesn’t define your future. If there have been rough patches in your life, don’t let them control you, like I did for so many years.  You can’t change your past, but you can prepare for your future, and it could be brighter then you ever expected!
