Explaining Political Beliefs in Unrelated Subjects

/ Jim / Leave a comment

One fairly new activity for me is perusing YouTube. I was really amazed with all of the various videos on topics I never considered people would be spending time creating. From renovating homes to creating living spaces in vans, along with topics in hstory, archeology, and the various sciences. I’ve come to the conclusion that I really only need a single channel to view. Well, maybe not, but you get my point, right? there’s a lot out there that conforms, I believe, to everyone’s taste. Sure, for the majority of you, my “find” is old news. Well, I never claimed to e on top of verything around me. I am happy to find that the new mewdia sites are less of the usual. One thing I’ve found off-putting are people veering away from the purpose of their channel to make some political statement based on current events.

Is Anti-Zionism, Antisemitism?

/ Jim / Leave a comment

mOf all the recent news, one story that has piqued my interest is that of Carrie Prejean Boller. Who’s that you ask? She’s a member(well, depending on a future outcome) of President Trumps Religious Liberty Commission who was “fired” from the commission by chairman and Lieutenant Governor of Texas, Dan Patrick for, well, supposed antisemitic statements. What was it Ms. Boller said that prompted this disagreeable charge? She simply questioned whether or not anti-Zionism is antisemitism. She said that as a Catholic, her faith did not require her to support Zionism. Not being Catholic, I have no idea what the Catholic church says about Zionism and frankly, I don’t care. I don’t want to turn this into an argument for or against Zionism, but instead, what constitutes religious freedom. One would think, however, that a commission on “religious liberty” would be agreeable to questions concerning anything that has to do with any religion. I guess not.

What Was That You Said?

I spend an obscene amount of time on social media. No, I’m not a “content creator” in that I spawn videos of topics I wish to draw attention. I an a peruser of those though as well as just regular folks, like me, that want to express a view, well, just because. I often find people that whole-heartedly agree with me and of course, some that do not. Thats okay because I don’t claim to always be right, but I need more than “you’re wrong” to begin rethinking any position. My social medium of choice is X, and has been for a long time. It’s interesting to get the take of so many people on subjects that, well, don’t really mean anything.

Blog? What’s That?

/ Jim / Leave a comment

So, here I am, back at this blog I have for so long told myself that I as going to begin blogging again, yet, until now, failed to keep my own promise to myself. /one reason is clear/; laziness. Ys, I admit I am lazy and tend to procrastinate when can get away with it. This is nothing new, I’ve always been like this but in the past, when I added content to this site, sometimes five or six times a day, it was new and interesting and I’d occasionally receive feedback via comments that would make me want to continue.

Ready, Set…

Am i the only one that believes that as I get older, time seems to pass a lot faster than it used to, say, when I was a child. Back then, it seemed forever for the holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, new Years) to come around. Now, it’s almost the blink of an eye that summer is over, and suddenly we’re in the throes of cooking, baking, and gift shopping for the upcoming holidays (not to mention, stocking up the bar for the inevitable parties, leading up to and including New Years Eve).
