Gas prices are holding steady. Eggs, too. Soon there will be tariffs in place. Possibly a remand on the federal income tax which I would applaud. However, that will be placed on us through the tariffs. Buying anything will incur a tax of 30%. Taking on more responsibility of the debt. Prices of gas and eggs will increase. Lucky us.
The latest rage is that ICE will be able to enter schools, hospitals and churches. All sanctuaries of the past. All places that were held up in the eyes of the church and public. Oh, how the mighty has fallen. There seems to be no bottom.
Women seem to want to be resistant. Mother Pence. Kamala. Hillary. A bishop that delivered a sermon that asked the man for compassion for LBGTQ people. Americans who are scared and confused. She spoke of it, calmly, and compassionately. All of the family members and the V.P. seemed indifferent and dismissive.
The idiot in charge took to social media to attack this bishop. To say she was a hater, leftist and boring. It remains, ridiculous to me, that the religious people stand behind this hypocrite. They repeat his lies. Justify his behavior. Dismiss his divineness. Support him. They are reaping benefits of him in office. They can grift, thieve, take.
Then, I watched this repulsive video on youtube. A video made by a fool and a comic. A used-up comedian who is trying to be relevant. This woman, somehow, convinced ABC to put her back on air after a hiatus. About midway through her rebirth, she went on a racist rant. I don't recall the details nor care to find out why she was fired from her show. They renamed, regrouped, continued.
Now she sidled up to some unknown rapper to produce some song about where we are today. I don't want to call more attention to it. It's awful. There is nothing to be learned or admired by viewing it. Instead, it affirms this call to arms by the right. Patriarchy. Divisiveness. Owning guns. Using guns. Flipping people off. Being aggressive & unapologetic.
I want to put my head in the stand.
I want to look at sunflowers and be happy.
It doesn't work. At some point, we must acknowledge our part in this debauchery. This abuse of the government. Accepting bribes. Lying. Dividing.
Grow up. Be accountable. Build a community and feed that group. Refuse to sit at the kids table.
