First I was a Democrat then I was a Republican. Next came Independent and now Libertarian. Called me challenged. Unfortunately, most of my beliefs don't fit any one party because I am a confirmed crossover. Political parties mean nothing to me. People matter, my people, my friends, my community. I do not care what party they choose. I do not believe in foreign wars where there is no threat to American lives. I don't think we need to be the police force for the entire world. Don't we have enough just policing ourselves? We've done a great job in Seattle and Portland. And Chicago? Just kill me now.
Let me share an incident in Sacramento. Cancer broke my husband's back making him unable to walk. The pain was extreme and nothing, not even morphine could stop the agony. To make a long story short, specialists did surgery in an attempt to lessen the pain. About seven days after the surgery they moved him to a rehab in Sacramento. This particular rehab didn't allow overnight guests so my kids booked me into a Residence Inn because we had no idea how long he'd be there. It was dark by the time he was settled in. Visiting ended at 9. I got into my car and started toward the Residence Inn in downtown Sac. I used the map that came with my phone. Damned if that app didn't know a one way street from a two way street. The trip should have taken me twenty minutes if that. An hour later I was in the middle of a BLM protest headed in the wrong direction and the protest was none too peaceful. Spray paint was everywhere; on the street, the walls, the sidewalks and anything else that wasn't nailed down. I panicked and turned onto another one way street. Restaurants were open and people were dining outside. Nobody had a care in the world. Candles were glowing, globular lights shined with a relaxing yellow glow. While I was getting the finger for disturbing their peace, my car was yelling at me to take the next left, so I did, right into Antifa. How is that fucking possible? I took the next street which was going in the right direction and ended up at a construction site with no light from a business or residence anywhere. I stopped my car in the middle of the street and became hysterical. My youngest son was on the phone with me trying to get me to calm down. I was screaming at him to get the police to me so they could show me how to get where I needed to be. I knew my husband was dying and if Antifa or BLM or the subset of white or Hispanic Sacramento enjoying a lovely dinner wanted to kill me they could have at it. None of it made sense. All these things were happening just streets apart. Six months later, hours of rumination ruminated, still nothing makes sense. I abhor violence. I see on my blog page ---> that I tweeted something from Donald Trump Jr. I didn't tweet that and I have no idea how that ended up in my tweets. I have been notified by Twitter that my account has been compromised by someone in Moscow. Of course it could just as easily be Denver if whoever is hijacking my account has their account routed through Moscow so they can't be found. I am a nobody writer from nowhere Penn Valley. Why would a Russian want to hack my account? Why would anyone? It's happened five times since December 30th no matter how often I change passwords. Nothing is safe anymore. I stopped watching the news a long time ago. The division was so great, so absurdly fake from all stations that I need to stop or a television was going to go out a window. Since I love Agents of Shield, that was not a doable option. I am so glad the election is over. Let the Democrats have it as the Republicans did not do well at all. No one will ever vote in a Libertarian so I am safe from people's wrath there. Libertarians believe in freedom. I do not care who you marry. I do not care how you think. If you want to have chickens I'm not going to complain. Fuck the international treaties because no one honors them. They are just for show. A chance for a photo op. Did you know they are sending billions to countries overseas and the best they can give us during a pandemic is a lousy 600.00? Though I did hear it is going to 2k. But still. That is my money they are giving away. Mine and yours. Not theirs. Where do you think the money is coming from to give away to other countries? Us! Every time they print more money it means higher taxes. But I really give up, no one gets this. Or no one cares. And and and, the kids are going back to school next week! Monday thru Friday. Shorter hours but still back to school. WTF? We haven't had any vaccinations here. We had one of the highest rates of COVID in the state of California. Again, this makes no sense. Nothing makes sense. I feel like screaming: The Emperor had no clothes! So this is my rant I've been saving for a long time. As for the BLM movement I think they deserve reparations. I have no problem with that as long as they can show or track their lineage back to the south. I will gladly pay them for their ancestors' suffering. They deserve it. But damn, if I bring that up to a Democrat or a Republican they will lop off my head. Everything is wonderful as long as it doesn't hit them in the pocketbook. But we can send money overseas? Can you imagine being a slave? The degradation of being at the mercy of some landowner? Take some of the money going to other countries and make black Americans whole. The Japanese as well. Make it an add on at the end of our taxes each year. People will donate. Most human beings have a good heart and understand when justice has been abused. Let's make this shit right then go back to the rule of law. None of this will be settled until the wrongs have been addressed. I don't know what Antifa wants. Anarchy, I guess. I feel so much better now. Louann Comments are closed.
