I put my soapbox in the closet since July but decided to pull it out for my thoughts as we end the weirdest year of my life, 2021.

This past week, the news was so bizarre that I had to take a week just to process the weirdness. We had OJ Simpson giving advise about a knife fight , Joe Biden wearing a mask on a zoom meeting, Fauci says we can finally be free of covid outside- Really? it's all bizarre

Why are corporations getting involved in politics anyway? Aren't sports supposed to unite not divide? Boycott the MLB? No problem, not a baseball fan anyway... Caitlin Jenner wants to be Governor of California and so much more on today's podcast
I still see fear all around me, for various reasons - fear that this is the end of times, fear that if we don't "follow the rules" we will all die. Fear of more lock downs, blaming one another. It needs to stop. True stories of others around me this week.
Why is our VP laughing at such inappropriate things? What's so darn funny? A lot of news in the country isn't very funny right now and more than ever, we need to hope and pray that it's just darkest before the dawn.
Why is our culture elevating musicians like Carni B? Of all the great musicians, what's up with this particular song being the left's favorite? Joe Biden says if we behave, maybe we can celebrate the 4th of July... and why we need to stay strong.

We are going backwards and I want to know where the feminists of the 60's and 70's are at now. Where is the ACLU as business owners are being discriminated against based on skin colors. Everything we have fought for as a society since the 1960's is now going backwards.
