Hmmm....

I belong to the group known as baby boomers – the ones that lived through the “ burn the bra “ and early feminist days of the pill, the equality of the sexes and the general liberation of women from the kitchen.  At the time, I did not realise that my life had gone from one of comfortable domesticity to one of 5 am starts, 10 pm finishes and a pay cheque that, for many, largely went to childcare providers. Fortunately, I stood defiantly and never abdicated my love and care to a stranger. 

As a woman, I was proud of what we thought we had achieved back then. But now, I am not so sure we did anything other than bite ourselves in the bum.  

The Amish are often regarded as uncivilized people, but perhaps there’s something we can learn from them.

For nearly 30 years, Amos Miller has owned and operated Miller’s Organic Farm, an all-natural Amish farm located in Bird-in-Hand Pennsylvania. Like many Amish farmers, Miller likes to do things the old-fashioned way. He doesn’t use electricity, fertilizer, or gasoline, and he also stays away from modern preservatives.

The farm’s reputation has grown over the years, and it now boasts a private buyers club of approximately 4,000 members. Miller has sold all sorts of food to his buyers, such as organic eggs, raw milk, grass-fed beef and cheese, and fresh produce.

After more than five decades in the federal government, Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984, has announced his resignation as of December to pursue “the next chapter” of his career.

Fauci first came to prominence during HIV/AIDS in the 1980s, in which he advocated for widespread use of the drug AZT, a practice later discontinued due to the drug’s extreme toxicity and deadly side effects including anemia and bone marrow toxicity. Fauci also pushed for the widespread application of PCR testing for diagnostic purposes, which was strongly opposed by Nobel laureate Kary Mullis, inventor of PCR technology.

Our nation is in crisis. Everything from our educational system, voting system, economy, and everything in between is a mess.  

This includes the overreaching democratic party and even more troubling, the timid and lazy republican party. They have thus far failed to embrace, teach, and promote Amendment X, also known as the Tenth Amendment.

It is beyond belief that the speaker who tore up the copies of Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address on national television, expects us to take her trip to Taiwan seriously.

Known for bizarre contradictions and stunts, Pelosi long ago set the stage for most Americans to see her as something between a selfish and typical grandstander and one of the worst speakers in the history of our nation.
