Yes, it’s time. I Don’t Get It will go off line on June 8, 2023. I started writing back in 2007 and eventually uploaded my blog in May 2010. I described the blog as the “musings of a (then almost) 60-year-old conservative woman on political, social and cultural life in America.” I am now 71 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
There are ways to pay less taxes because of loopholes in the Tax Code; people con their way into getting food stamps; many people receive disability payments with fake disabilities; others receive government funds for taking care of their own family members; recent headlines involved students cheating on college entrance exams and parents bribing athletic […]
Every day someone is being attacked by the PC police. The mantras from these Far Left loons are either “you’re a racist,” “you’re a homophobe,” “you’re a misogynist” and it goes on and on. The majority of people today are afraid to express any innocuous opinion they may have because they’re afraid of offending someone. […]
I think it all began with the word “mankind.” Someone woke up one day in the 80’s and thought the English language needed some tweaking. Somehow the use of the word “man” in “mankind” was considered exclusive and needed to be more gender-neutral like “humankind.” I’ve always found the use of the word “humankind” to […]
