Where Freedom Dies

 


Today, Trump told Zelenskyy, 'Make a deal or we’re out'. But for Zelenskyy and the Ukraine, this is more than a ‘deal’ or rights to resources, this is about being sovereign nation, freedom, identity, and liberty.

However, a man that falsely blamed Ukraine for starting the war, then call Zelenskyy a ‘dictator’ for not holding an election at the end of his term last year even though Ukrainian law allows for it during war times, how could such a man even begin to understand what is at stake here when he can’t understand the truth.

Peace is needed, but the bully aggressor should not be the one dictating the terms.  The aggressor should not be rewarded for stopping the conflict they started. Nor should they be trusted given a lifetime of broken promises and murder.

There can be no peace without uniting behind the Ukraine and guaranteeing security. Today I was horrified, embarrassed and sad that the greatest nation of the world became a shyster broker of broken dreams instead of the beacon of light for freedom. Shame on you Trump, and shame on anyone that justifies his behavior. 

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." – Benjamin Franklin

Snow Snakes, Bigfoots, Voter Fraud, and Other Things That Go Bump In MN's GOP Dreams

Minnesota has historically prided itself on a large voter turnout. Typically we have been among the top few states in the nation with a large voter turnout. In addition, voter fraud has been extremely rare (26 cases out of hundred of thousands of voters last election!). Naturally, the MN GOP feels a need to address this pressing and overwhelming 'non-existing state problem' of lots of voters and a statistically non-existing voter fraud of less than 100th of a percent! The GOP propose to protect Minnesotans against this 'non-existing problem' by spending more of our tax dollars. They want to mandate voter IDs while adding ID machines to every vote location. Really?! What state are they living in? Has Minnesota become California? Where's the common sense in this kind of worthless legislation? What's not to love here...spending tax dollars on imaginary problems. Our State budget is in need of balancing with a projected 6 billion dollar deficit, jobs need to be cr...

Route 66: Illinois and Twinkies

Image
Currently I'm traveling down Route 66 with the odd side trip here and there...I'm blogging about my Mother Road adventure at The Grateful Muses blog but side trips and odd things that don't quite fit the travel log will get posted up here...like this one about Twinkies... Old Twinkies advertisement tin As Route 66 is America's Main Street, so are Twinkies America's snack cake. And guess what? Twinkies were invented in Illinois... Schiller Park in the 1930's. The inventor James Dewar realized that several machines used to make cream filled strawberry shortcake sat idle when the berries weren't in season. That's when he conceived a snack cake filled with a banana cream filling. He came up with the name Twinkies when he saw a billboard in St. Louis for 'Twinkle Toe Shoes....giving birth to 'Twinkies'. Due to the rationing of bananas during WWII, the company was forced to change the filling to vanilla cream...making them even more pop...
