Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the lines in an increasingly blue state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format.
Juneteenth!? OK, I get there is good reason to celebrate and honor the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation as slavery wrong in so many ways. It is a stain on American history that we should never forget or try to sweep under the rug, so to speak. It is when we try to pretend that something does not exist or has never happened that the ugly part of humanity can rear its ugly head again. It seems that it already is in the guise of human trafficking, the sex trade, and child labor being imported through our southern border with near impunity. Is it good to honor the freeing of the African slaves in the United States? Sure, but do we need another holiday for the government working class to honor this day?
I am waking up after more than a month and a half of working on a project and the subsequent catching up required on my other projects. Needless to say, the sun is just about at its most northern arc across the sky and the days are the longest they will be for the year as a result.
One thing that I have noticed is the weather is cooler this year and the light does seem dimmer. I have lived in the area where I am for most of my life and it just seems a little odd that the sky seems to always have a dusty or light smokey quality. Perhaps it is because I am downwind from the cesspool known as California?
President Trump has been indicted on what appear to be erroneous Federal charges that one of the Clinton was cleared of at the Supreme Court level. This at the same time news is starting to leak that Joe Biden took a $10 million bribe. Geez, do you think this is coincidental? Spin spin spin, if one were to pay attention too closely to the news cycle they could feel as if they were in a laundry machine set for high spin.
It finally has come to my town. A drag queen story hour has been held at one of my local libraries and one is scheduled to be held at two of the other libraries in the greater community. Why is this happening? What is the agenda of these people?
God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere in between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.
