Why I still support President Trump, musings and opinion

In 2016, I was not an enthusiastic Trump supporter. But I saw results in his presidency I hadn't seen in my entire life. 1. Lots of presidents have claimed to be supporters of the unborn, the weakest and most fragile of all Americans. He's the only President who has been their advocate, both in supporting the larger political pro-life movements and organizations, but in attempting to reduce the demonic threat of Planned Parenthood. I'm a one issue voter, because without life, the other advantages of being an American don't matter. His was not just a campaign promise. He took actio...
My dream about Covid and the church
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 10 hours ago
I rarely remember a dream. But early this morning I had the trifecta. My church was going to send 64 teenagers to my house to clean because of Covid. Got 3 concerns all in one dream--the church, Covid and our current project to sort and pitch things we don't need which is creating a mess. As I was waking up, I was composing something to tell the teenagers about why it wasn't safe to have so many new germs in our home.
End of the year 2020 donations
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 10 hours ago
Time for the end of the year donations list. We held off on our church pledge, but finally paid it because. . . we pledged early in the year.

The staff did an incredible job of keeping the lights on and providing both on-line and live activities. We stayed an extra 6 weeks--there was nothing for us in Columbus. Lakeside has even increased its winter activity and has fabulous seasonal decoration...

Unlike independent cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, central bank digital currency (CBDC) has a high chance of national adoption precisely because it would be issued by a nation’s mone...

COVID-19 Exposes Need For Radical Policies To Tackle Inequality

In the run-up to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris taking office on January 20, a key debate raging now is about what kind of change they will usher in. Some say it is clear from those two leaders’ biographies that they herald the bold transformations needed to tackle the inequalities that scar society. Others say it is clear from their biographies that they will not. History suggests, however, that neither of those arguments gets it quite right. That key to what happens is what we do, together. For my new book, How to Fight Inequality, I looked at what we could learn from how inequalit...
Puerto Rico 2021: A Shift In Perspective, A New Opposition

One of the things often taken for granted by the independence and socialist movement is knowing when to claim a victory. As a consequence of suffering so many blows throughout its history, the movement has become reflexively cynical when having to assess some kind of partial victory or progress. Let’s recall, among other signature chapters, in 1976 the Puerto Rican Independence Party received 80,000 votes, which, when combined with those of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party, equaled nearly 100,000 votes. Or the founding and progress of the Workers United Movement (MOU), which manage...

‘US Leadership’ – And Other Euphemisms For War

Typically these calls are couched in benign-sounding euphemisms.
