Lies

There is nothing I despise more than a lie.

Lies, when repeated often enough, can be believed by the person that fabricated them.

Never before in our country have we had a president that lies so constantly, with a base that believes him so completely that has a news station to amplify him. It is horrendous, it is dangerous.

We need to mobilize, we need to stop this. If not now, when? If not us, who?

These children can't speak for themselves. They're minors. Some younger than my three year old. It pains me to think of either of my children in captivity, away from me, with no clear path back to me. How can they do this? How can any government do this?

I think of their little faces, their eyes, already filled with fear of being in a new place, feeling solace only from the embrace of their parents and then the mean men take them away and put them in cages. This is traumatic.

A senator, I think, Steve King, said that Abortion is the true final separator of child from mother and that this immigration policy isn't that. Might I say, editorially, that this man is a disgusting human being? Okay, that said, this isn't about abortion. It's about the fact that these children were born, carried in their mother's wombs, they are wanted, they are loved and now, the American government is forcibly taking these children away. The American government is taking the children away from mother's that believed in being pro-life. They believed in carrying their babies to term and they believe in trying to give them a new life. A new life. A new beginning. Not trauma. Not detention. Not cages. Not strange men in uniform. Not sadness and terror away from their parents.

This action does not make our border secure. This action does not improve the safety of the United States. I've seen the pictures, these people are not terrorists. They are coming here to seek asylum, which is NOT against the law.

What this does, is make our border more insecure. It causes more unrest in the countries along our border. Donald Trump is literally kidnapping their children without any plans for how to reunite them with their parents. He is holding them hostage for a wall along that border and has said as much nationally, on television.

The President of the United States is a terrorist. Fox News is his terrorist mouthpiece and his followers are too stupid to realize that they are likely next on his list.

There is no bottom to the depths of his evil. Stop the hypocrisy. Stop saying, "But Obama" and "But Bill Clinton," and "But Hillary" and instead say, "THIS IS WRONG AND IT MUST STOP!"

Long December

It's weird but I feel like November has been December for three weeks. I don't know why but my body keeps telling me that it's December and it has been. In fact, Thanksgiving feels like it happened weeks ago rather than just one week ago. Maybe it's the fact that I have little kids and they are getting ready for Christmas and are filled with excitement over the prospect of Santa Claus and presents. Or maybe it's because Thanksgiving came a little earlier than usual this year. Whatever it is, it's a weird feeling. The last time something like this happened to me was in October of 2014. After the month ended, I felt like it was still October until well into February of the following year. It truly makes no sense considering time is an invented human concept. Most of our ancient ancestors and nearly all of our animal friends don't give a hoot about time down to the second. Months aren't even real, it's just a thing we do. It feels like it's be...

"Life is pain"

"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something." - Man in Black Have you ever had those days where you feel like the only lesson is the lesson above? That life is pain? I feel that way today. I'm sitting at my desk feeling self-conscious, feeling every ounce of depression I possess flowing through me. I feel alone, awkward, sad, uncertain...I feel pain. I feel loss. A close family member died rather suddenly. His fight was one he knew he wouldn't win. Cancer very rarely allows its opponent to succeed. The world lost another great man and here we are, those that loved him, in pain. Life is all about letting go, I know that. I know that this is a temporary existence but how can we reconcile that fact knowing that our time could be up any second? I don't want to live my life waiting. I want to live my life living. If there is a heaven and I get there, I want to make sure I did everything in my power to have the be...

Comparison

I thought it might be interesting to compare the resume of Robert Mueller to that of Donald Trump. Care to take a peak? (I tried to keep it objective.)
