Everyone has, what’s known in the world of gambling as a tell. A tell is simply something a person does, unconsciously, when they are being deceptive.  This doesn’t necessarily indicate the person is untrustworthy it’s just they want to keep some knowledge they possess, close to the vest (another gambling aphorism). But this can also tell you a lot about another person. For instance, how often, when speaking with this person do you notice this little tick, or whatever it happens to be? A lot or only when speaking of certain subjects?

What is Going On With The Election?

This is bizarre. A story out of Washington, D.C. where business owners have begun to board up their windows and secure their doors in preparation of the election on November 3rd. Think about this: Washington D.C. is preparing for rioting and looting ahead of the election. When was the last time a Republican carried the District? Ever? Not that I can think of so are these shop owners believing that Trump will win? There really wouldn’t be a need, would there, if Biden wins. Of course there may be people out celebrating a Biden win, but does that account for what’s going on tthere?

The Left Has Lost it’s Collective Mind

This is not my parents Democratic party. Yes, both my parents were die-hard Democrats their entire lives and if they were alive today to see what the “Party of FDR” has turned into, well, it would probably kill them. Everyday I see more evidence that at least some of these people are just plain crazy. It’s not just all the violence in the streets (yes, Antifa and BLM are far left-wing organizations) but also the rhetoric coming from some in their leadership around the country.

The Politics of the China Virus

I think that at one time or another, everyone of us say something that is in the heat of the moment. It’s human nature. To come back later and say it wasn’t really meant, at least not in that way, is to me too little, too late because at the time, it was clearly meant exactly the way it was spoken. Although I try not to let emotion override reason, it happens – a little more rarely as I’ve gotten older – but it still occurs. I’m pretty sure that I’ve never disliked anyone to an extent where even in that moment, I’ve wished ill on that person – some harm to befall them.

I was just looking through my blog drafts. I have so many yet finished. Sometimes, I begin a post and then lose why I am even writing. Yes, it happens. The initial passion, or whatever it is, fades and I close the post, hoping to come back to it at another point in time. I could easily continue to write about the same old thing – atheism – but that really doesn’t interest me much nowadays. What is going on with atheism that hasn’t gone on for the past decades? Nothing. The names have changed, but that’s about it.
