Will It Be a Tattered Dream?
If I told you the November 2022 election could be the last free election in America; would it change the amount of pressure you are willing to put on Senators Sinema and Manchin? Would it change your likelihood of voting? Would it change how you think about democracy? Last week when President Biden spoke about…
Viability of Choice
I have long feared this day. The day when a purposely unbalanced Supreme Court would hear arguments in a case that has one purpose; to overturn Roe. The trouble I have feared is that the Court was systematically tipped with that shared purpose, overturning Roe. So, the day that it was announced that the Court…
Sturgis Superspreader 2.0?
America’s great motorcycle rally began today and the country doesn’t know what is about to hit it. Is this the event that could hamstring America’s recovery efforts? Most likely it will be, with increased attendance and rallygoers expected from every state, the case could have been made that this year’s rally could be more dangerous…
The Trial of America Continues
Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all three charges that he faced in the murder of George Floyd. But, the trial of America must continue. The defense inside the courtroom centered around whether George Floyd was killed by Derek Chauvin. However, the defense outside of the courtroom has always been and continues to be whether…
Crying in the dark
After my last post I had great plans and ambitions to write more. I had plans to write about March 11th being the one year anniversary of our world changing.

International Women’s Day 2021
This morning I woke with intentions of writing today in a reflection of how the women in my life have inspired, shaped, and built me into the person I am today. Since I live in America and specifically South Dakota that plan has changed. Let me begin by addressing the style in which this will…
Some we forget, others we cannot
To those who voted to acquit and those who are cheering the news, You may not have been part of the riotous mob who lay siege to our sacred capital, but we see and hear you and will forever know you stand with and up for the scourge of America. It will continue to be…
My Letter To 74,223,744 Americans
As I gazed out my window tonight I noticed the American Flag that flies in front of our local fire station. I was drawn to how it gently waved in the slow breeze above its spotlight. I began to pay attention to how in some instances it would shadow itself in different places and how…
Insurance of Democracy
As I drove down the road today listening to the debates of whether to impeach or not I found myself heartbroken. Heartbroken once again during a presidency that has done not-yet-known damage to our country and its democracy. I’ve lost count the number of days during his four year term that I’ve had this feeling.…
1/6/2021 Part 2: The Death Of “The Party Of Lincoln”
After yesterday there can be a headstone placed on Capital Hill. It can read- Here lies the Republican Party (or at least The Party of Lincoln). It died from the exhaustive and prolonged labor in the birth of the Trumplican Party. This party was born yesterday, but it’s birth began generations ago during the Civil…
