Let's Talk About Words...

This will be a simple but hopefully impactful blog.  Following are some terms I want you to read the definitions and descriptions of. 

Racism - prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed at someone from a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

Bigotry - intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.

Misogyny - dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.

Narcissism - extreme selfishness, with a grandiose view of one's own talents and a craving for admiration, as characterizing a personality type.

Egotism - the practice of talking and thinking about oneself excessively because of an undue sense of self-importance.

Autocracy - government in which one person is in total control.

What are the signs of someone wanting to become an Autocrat?

  • They see themselves as "very special" people
  • They feel deserving of admiration.
  • They have difficulty empathizing with the feelings and needs of others.
  • They display a pervasive pattern of grandiosity.
  • They often behave with a vindictiveness often observed in narcissistic personality disorder.
  • Although their rule is with an iron fist, they often behave in a matter driven by a hidden, extreme, and sometimes irrational fear of what fate might befall them. 
  • They often say they are the savior of their people, or the only people capable of ruling in such a perfect way; denouncing former leadership as being complete failures in comparison.
  • They have a complete inability to accept fault for anything that goes wrong, and will not apologize for anything. 
  • They use lies and deflection to drive their narratives to the people.

Those are just a few examples. 

Now, I have used quite a few terms to describe our current president over the past couple of years, and some of those terms are listed above.  This is most definitely not an all-inclusive list, but I wanted to put the words and definitions above to show you how obvious it is that the words and actions of our president almost perfectly fit each of the definitions and descriptions above.

Why doesn't this concern more people than it does?  We have a Racist, Misogynistic, Narcissistic, Egotistical, Bigot who wants to be an Autocrat running our country right now, and not enough people seem to care. 

Vote.  If you are Republicans, vote Democratic in November.  If you are Democrats, vote Democratic in November.  If you are Undecided, Independents, Greenies, Libertarians, or members of any other party, vote Democratic in November.

I never vote straight ticket, but when it comes to Senate and House Seats, vote Democratic in November so that something can be done to break up the culture of corruption we currently have in Washington. 

GET OUT AND VOTE.  There is no excuse not to.  If you have plans on voting day, get an absentee ballot and vote.  The future of this country depends upon the people standing up and demanding change, and November is our next opportunity to do just that.

Trump and the DOJ Trying to Silence Mueller...

Mueller is set to sit in front of Congress on Wednesday this week and answer questions regarding the Mueller Investigation.  The DOJ, and organization that is supposed to look out for the best interests of America but has recently decided to become Trump's personal Law Firm, has sent correspondence to Mueller about what he can and cannot answer. For instance, you have the question of the 10 documented cases of obstruction in volume 2 of the report.  Mueller made it clear that he was bound by DOJ policy and could not indict a sitting president.  One very important question the Congressional Leadership will likely ask is, "If Donald Trump wasn't the sitting President, would you have indicted him based on the amount of evidence in the report?"  That question in every respect is fair.  You are asking the head of an investigation if they would have indicted someone had an arbitrary roadblock not been in place.  I say arbitrary roadblock because the policy is...

Let's talk about kids

So here we are, waiting patiently and watching what the government is doing to reunite children with their parents who have been separated at the border.  The government said all it would take was a few key strokes and they could immediately identify which children were where and get them reunited.  Interesting comment considering that we are now past the court mandated timeframe within which the government was mandated by the court to reunite the 102 children under the age of 5 with their parents.  They had a month to do it, and only managed to reunite around 54 children by the deadline.  They have resorted to taking DNA samples from children and parents to try to match them up in a database because the process they used to separate these children from their parents didn't take into consideration the reunification process, so in most cases they have no idea which children match up to which parents. Instead of the President taking a more compassionate approach to...

Technology, the Double Edged Sword

Technology is an amazing thing isn't it?  Look at the evolution of the computer.  Below I am providing a history of the evolution of the computer.  It is not all-inclusive, but does document some very important moments in history starting in 1801 and ending in 2017.  If you aren't a huge reader, you can jump past the history lesson to the remainder of my blog below, but it is very interesting and I recommend you read through it.  In France in 1801, Joseph Marie Jacquard invented a loom that used punched wooden cards to automatically weave fabric designs.  Early computers would use similar punch cards. In 1822, an English Mathematician named Charles Babbage conceived of a steam-driven calculating machine that would be able to compute tables of numbers.  The project was funded by the English government and was a failure.  More than a century later, however, the first computer was actually built in the world. In 1890, Herman Hollerith designed ...
