I’m Stepping Out
Biden stepping aside leaves me completely at a loss for reasons other than you might think. He has emphasized over and over that he is the one that can win in November. His party has backed him unequivocally, despite evidence supporting the need for intervention. But the truth is out! There is no putting the…

In 1977, a film titled Star Wars emerged in movie theatres across the United States. At that time, I found myself in Ft. Lauderdale with a friend. A matinee show welcomed us in from the Florida heat. Admittedly, I was swept into the production to a galaxy far far away. Stormtrooper : Let me see your identification.…

Over a decade ago, I worked in the BP Gulf Oil Spill. I held several different positions over the two- and one-half years I was there. For this piece, I refer to one particular position: safety rep for the beach cleanup. During my time there, I witnessed and responded to several heat stress and heat…
Read MoreThe Devil is in the Details
Every four years the United States holds an election for the position of president of the United States. As I have grown older, I have strongly felt that I was not voting for the candidate I wanted but rather the lessor of two evils. I also wondered why the choices have always whittled down to…
Read MoreRespect the Position
More times than I care to admit, I was given a pep talk at work regarding my attitude. I was born and raised in the Bronx. That is not a birthright to blurt out any thought that goes through my head – at least not in the rest of the world. But if/when I hear…

I watched the interview of President Biden last evening. George Stephanopoulos was very careful to always remain respectful in his presentation.

Tonight at 8:00 pm EST a pre-recorded interview of Joe Biden with George Stephanopoulos will aire. This is to be the response to all the scuttlebutt regarding Biden’s lackluster performance in the Presidential debate held last week. Joe Biden campaigned in Wisconsin today after which he met with Stephanopoulos; mid-day. Can you say Sundowning? I…
Read MoreProject 2025
After a recent post under my personal page in response to the debate and future elections, I decided to find out what I could about Project 2025. I should preface this by stating I did not read Project 2025 in its entirety. Rather, I researched it reading various web entries on the subject. Project 2025…
Read MoreKatie Couric on Kamala Harris
Couric later posited that anyone but Kamala Harris could cause a deeper schism in the party. Citing a recent New York Magazine article that said, per Couric, that “it would be very difficult for the Democratic Party if Kamala Harris isn’t chosen” to replace Biden if he steps down and that it would “splinter the party” because “Black…
Read MoreThe Debate AFTER the Debate
For most of my life, I have chosen to follow my gut rather than either what I was told or read. Occasionally I have been wrong; always a bitter pill to swallow – but that’s life. You go on. I have NEVER in my life wanted to be more wrong than last night. A debate…
