May 21, 2022 in abortion, Catholic Church, Nancy Pelosi, Pope Francis
According to LifeNews, “Catholic Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said he formally notified U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this week that she is not allowed to receive communion unless she repents for her abortion advocacy.” As far as I’m concerned, this has been a long time coming. I have been patiently waiting for the Catholic Church to […]

For over ten years, I’ve been writing on this blog and shaking my head, “I Don’t Get It!” You would’ve thought after all these years, I’d run out of things that shock me, but, each and every day, I read something that I just can’t believe. At the rate of what’s happening in this country, […]
August 28, 2021 in Afghanistan, Jill Biden, Joe Biden
On March 2, 2020, I wrote the following entry in my journal: “Without seeing the results of super Tuesday, I predict Joe Biden will get the nomination. Eventually he will drop out because of mental/brain issues and somehow Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton will be put in his place. Call me crazy, but something will […]

Masks. Not Halloween masks but these stupid schmatas we’ve been forced to wear over the past year and half when anyone with any knowledge of microbiology or virology knows that if the virus has a diameter of 60 nm to 140 nm [nanometers (billionth of a meter)], it can very easily pass through a mask […]
June 16, 2021 in baby boomers, culture, Donald Trump, education, mainstream media, media, political correctness, teachers' unions
The two areas of American life that I’ve seen the most changes from the 1950s to the present are in education and the media. We all started school in Kindergarten. There was no pre-school in the 50s, at least where I grew up in Brooklyn. Now, kids are expected to have a pre-school experience before […]
June 6, 2021 in baby boomers, civility, culture, political correctness, politics, secular progressives, society
Yes, many things have changed since I was born in 1951. Some changes are good. Some changes are definitely not so good. Others, well, are just interesting. Back in the ‘50s, my husband’s parents couldn’t buy a house in Monterey Park, a neighborhood east of downtown Los Angeles. His father was Native American and his […]

Television and movies have changed dramatically. (I won’t even get into the music business.) Where men used to be noble, dignified supporters of their family, they are now often depicted as buffoons and slobs. Francis Reagan, the patriarch of Blue Bloods, as well as the other men on the show, are definitely exceptions – that’s […]

Last Christmas, my niece gave me a subscription to StoryWorth. Each week she asks me a question to which I respond in order to memorialize my thoughts and feelings over the past 70 years. A recent question was, “How has life changed since you were a child?” Well, that opened the floodgates and I’m sure […]
November 7, 2020 in Donald Trump, Election 2020, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris
Someone would have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to have seen this coming. Although I tried to remain positive over the past several months, I knew this was not going to go well. What the Democrats wanted was chaos resulting in a Biden/Harris win and that’s exactly what they got. As soon as […]
