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, […]
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 […]
Two years ago, I published the article below about Ethan Couch who, while driving with a blood alcohol content of .24, killed four innocent people and severely injured two others. As a result, the judge, who has since retired, Judge Jean Boyd – I hope you’re happy Judge Boyd — bought into the bogus defense […]
Well, in my opinion, at George Washington University, not much. A few weeks ago, the Young America’s Foundation, interviewed some students there, and the video shows the results. Only 6 out of 30 students knew that we’d be commemorating 9/11 the following week. How could any 18-22 year old NOT know about 9/11? My 6-year […]
This is a perfect example of how political correctness has run amok in this country. One person is “offended” by something, so the rest of us – who are in the vast majority – have to cowtow to that one person. We see it everyday in other situations where a small minority of people, such […]
Over the past several years, I’ve thought about the kids I graduated with from 8th grade in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. We went to St. Stanislaus Kostka School together for nine years. We all lived in the same neighborhood. I don’t remember anyone whose mother wasn’t a housewife. Every father worked. Parents were not divorced. No one […]
