When you threaten a country by violence or economic coercion to get what you want that is not leadership that is a moral failing based upon greed and sometimes hatred. I can say that right now that Donald Trump is a failure in every measurable way and is a danger to this nation and others. Conservatism needs a reset from the current course it has been on for much of the last ten years. Does it have the courage to remove the cancer that is Trump/MAGA? Our military should know that attacking a country based on sketchy intelligence is wrong. Voting has consequences and right now we are all feeling it. Something needs to change sooner rather than later. I don’t think those who can make it happen will be able to do so. This Iran situation is an example of incompetence all across the board.

Hello April, No Fooling!
A new month begins today. April 1st is also April Fools’ Day. With all the stuff going on around us, the day seems to be very appropriate. Enjoy the fun of the day. As the song says, “Everybody plays the fool sometimes” which is very true. Let’s hope for a good month ahead, good people.
Transgender Day of Visibility – I Support My Trans Friends and Neighbors
I am a LGBTQIA supporter. On this day the contributions of trans people are being recognized. They face unfair discrimination. Laws are being passed that are cruel and heinous. I know several trans people, and they are just wanting to live their lives without fear.
The transgender community has made so many contributions to our society. Jazz Jennings, Rachel Levine, Dylan Mulvaney, Laverne Cox, Sarah McBride, Elliot Page, Nyla Rose, Gisele Shaw, Janet Mock, and so many others have made our lives culturally richer and better.
I so wish that the bullying of trans and other non-conforming people would stop. They didn’t ask for any of this. Live free trans people. You are loved.

Something About Fast Food
Fast food is a convenience, but it is a hassle too when your order is given to you incomplete when going through the drive thru. It happens so much lately.
There is sometimes difficulty being understood when placing your order especially when you have questions, and you are in a rush. Then you get to the window to pay and get your order, they hand it to you, and you check your bag and there are no condiments that you asked for and no flatware that should be there. Sometimes food is missing and that is a whole other level of inconvenience.
I hate to complain, but that is the only way you can be heard when your order is incomplete. Also, fast food is getting more expensive too.
I do feel for those who work in those restaurants because I worked for McDonald’s when in college. I just wish service was better, that isn’t too much to ask.
I Am Truly Sad For Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’s Cancellation
For years, I thought the idea of a Star Trek series centered around its Starfleet Academy would be great. Stories of young cadets learning to be officers in Starfleet sounded like a great idea to me. Now Paramount Plus, the home of Star Trek went and did just that. A series led by Oscar winner Holly Hunter was going to take us into a new future for Trek.
Yesterday it was announced the next season in 2027 it will be the last for Star Trek: Starfleet. They didn’t even get four years like cadets in Military Academy’s get.
Some folks cannot get past the fact that this show is about infinite diversity in infinite combinations. They can’t imagine a strange new world. They just don’t have it in them to expand their minds to new possibilities like Gene Roddenberry brought us in the original series from the 1960s.
Some labeled it “woke” and I must say that Star Trek has always been and hopefully will always be “woke”. I thought this new series was fresh, unique and full of potential, but we won’t know. I am angry about this. That cast delivered great performances and told stories that were important. I don’t know where Star Trek is headed but with the new ownership of the studios being led by nefarious people with bad intentions I am not so sure.
Happy 3rd Gotcha Day, Frankie Boy Dog!
We adopted this little boy dog from the Chattanooga Humane Society three years ago. Frankie has been an endless source of light and fun in our lives. He has also been a mess and loves to play especially with his impressive collection of toys. We love you boy, thank you for choosing us.
Adopt, don’t shop!
