I was in my twenties. I had grown up and was paying greater attention to my country and what lay beyond our nation’s shores. A funny thing about becoming aware and informed is that once you begin, you want to know more and more: your interest grows rapidly. Although I believed then, as I do now, that most human beings are basically good, evil exists, it is real, and it is frightening. It appears to be far more prevalent in the 21st century. It was during that part of my education that I formed a belief which is far more real today than it was in the late 1960’s and 70’s. “God’s biggest mistake was the creation of man. Not a single of God’s creatures destroys what He created for the sole purpose of increasing its personal wealth. This is unique among H H omo sapiens. Animals use our soil, water, and clean air as intended. Animals have never plotted the destruction of another species based on unwarranted anger, hatred, or jealousy. Although our Founding Fathers made mistakes, they were n...
White privilege is real, and only those who benefit from being born into this situation deny its reality. Trump was finally exposed as the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement in 2018. Since January 20 he has openly supported whites only while making life more difficult for Blacks, Hispanics, women, the LGBTQ community, anyone who is not a Christian or a Jew, and the entire majority of our nation’s people; the working class. This week he gave preference to 54 white citizens of South Africa who want to leave their country. They claim to be suffering from the end of apartheid. [Apartheid in South Africa lasted from 1948 to 1994. This period represents the time when the white minority government implemented and enforced a system of racial segregation and discrimination against the Black majority. The end of apartheid was marked by the transition to a democratic, multi-racial government in 1994.] Granting these 54 very white people refugee status is another act of hypocrisy by the worst m...
It was a sad day. After an effective Governor, Steve Sisolak, led my state of Nevada through Trump’s devastating pandemic, he was defeated by a Trump lackey, Joe Lombardo. Lombardo is now seen in ads for developers and as an advocate for private and charter schools Here’s why “The Truth Lives Here.” I moved to Northern Nevada in 1986 from North County San Diego. I plan to die here. I feel very fortunate to have lived in three extraordinary places. At the age of five my parents moved from Lewiston, Idaho, where I was born in 1946, to Los Angeles, California. We, my maternal grandparents, and one of my uncles caravaned to a city which promised good jobs. In 1977, just after the birth of my daughter, I moved my family to San Diego’s booming north county after accepting a job offer. After a divorce, and a new marriage, I left California for the Reno, Nevada, area in 1986. I worked in my profession as a hairstylist, but a year later entered into the gambling industry. I worked with men and ...
