Good morning! Santa arrived early, and I'm coming to you from my Christmas present, a brand-new laptop. I have decided to get serious about my writing, which includes blogging and a couple of other projects, so I needed the tool to do so! This morning, when I started to rant on a Facebook post, I realized that I have a much better platform for that. :) It also gives anyone who is tired of my opinion, but likes to follow along for the comedy, or just because I'm cute, the opportunity to scroll on by. I'm going to try and limit the drive by politics on that platform, when I can resist the urge to do so. Be forewarned, if you pop in here from now on, you'll be getting the full force of my opinion.
Can you believe that I haven't had a computer for five or six years?? I handle my life on my phone, and I can blog with the phone too, but it is very tedious. This goes much faster, as I can type almost as fast as I think. I also don't have access to comments and other stats on the phone ap. Specifically, the stat that tracks views of the blog since I began to write in 2010. "The Queen's Corner" has had over 36,000 views. Wow! That is exciting and humbling all at the same time. I suspect some folks who don't know me personally are lured in by the title, perhaps thinking Queen has a different meaning. In this case, no. It's my family nickname, well deserved, cherished, and accurate.
Wasn't this supposed to be political? That's how my mind works, seven different directions at once. I wanted to write about the laptop the other day, but didn't find (ok, make) the time, so that blog was still simmering on the backburner when I became irritated about the incoming regime this morning. Now I've lost steam, but I still have a thought or two. Here goes!
Wait your turn donald, (small d intentional) or is it elon? (again, intentional small d) I'm a little confused about who was elected. You begin Circus 2.0 in January.
Dear reader, please remember, for the most part when the ranting and tweeting start it's all nonsense. -Meant to confuse, I think, or maybe they are just confused themselves and need Civics 101. I should teach a course, "That's not how that works." The USA is a democracy. There are policies, procedures, laws, and hopefully enough good people in Congress to stand up for what is right. The Republicans have a real opportunity here (the actual GOP, not MAGA) to stand up, take control, and get some good work done for the people who elected them. They could easily just keep the clown in the circus, and he'd be the lame duck that he in fact is. Would that hurt their future in politics? Nope. If I was on any one of their political teams, I would be shouting from the rooftops that this was their moment to shine. Take the reins, work across the aisle, ignore the quacking from the White House, and get back to work for the American people.
Would I agree with the policies of a GOP controlled Congress? Hahahahahaha nope. However, it would be nice to be able to argue policy, instead of having constant battles about morality, empathy, and nonsense. I'm tired of trying to explain why you should care about other people. I'm tired of the hypocrisy of people being "religious" and not caring about their fellow human beings. Im beyond tired of the cesspool of humanity that represents MAGA. If I can't pass a background check, I cannot do my job. Why should you be able to???
This country was built on checks and balances, to keep the branches of government fairly equal. It's true, that we are tilting in a wrong, and in my opinion very dangerous direction, but We the People, are the stop gap here. The quackers are hopeful that the nonsense will make us numb. Don't fall for it. I'm not saying pay rabid attention to the news, you'll go bonkers. I'm saying find a couple reliable, responsible sources (no, that is not FOX news, just stop it) and just keep an eye on the bobber. For heaven sake, speak up, speak out, donate to the causes you believe in. We CAN hold the line. We HAVE to.
