Just a couple of thoughts bouncing about in my head tonight …
I largely try to tune out or ignore the idiotic statements I read every day coming out of the Republican camp, but this one made me laugh so hard … it’s Fox host Jesse Waters who said that a man voting for a woman is not only morally wrong, but that there are also dire biological consequences at stake. He says …
“I heard a scientist say the other day, when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”
Yes, folks, he actually said that … on the air … in front of cameras and people!!! Was there ever a bigger idiot? Do men really have such fragile egos that an intelligent, capable woman can stoke fears of losing their “manhood”? Gotta feel a little sorry for those insecure dudes … after you finish laughing, that is!
Trump is apparently upset about the meme making the rounds …
He says, “It’s Not Fair That Harris Can Call Me A “Felon”. Awwww … pobrecito … does li’l Donny need his blankie? Call a spade, a spade. Fact: he is a 34 times convicted felon and that ain’t goin’ away.
And on a personal note …
While my purpose in writing this blog is … well, it’s multi-purpose. I hope to present facts to counter the lies and conspiracy theories that abound these days, hope to bring to light issues that may have flown under the radar, sometimes just to vent a bit of angst, but for the most part, my serious posts are to present my views on a multitude of issues, primarily socio-political. Of late, I know my posts have been leaning heavily toward the upcoming November election, Donald Trump, and Project 2025 to the exclusion of many other topics. Now, almost exactly half of the readers of Filosofa’s Word are from outside the U.S., and lately when I start to opine on something election-related, I wonder if this is all becoming quite a bore to our friends outside the U.S. And yet, this is the topic that occupies most of my thoughts these days – how could it not? And in truth, what happens here on and in the days/weeks after November 5th will have far-reaching consequences for all, not just here in the U.S. Still …
I guess I’m asking you, my blogging family, to let me know if you think my posts are leaning too heavily on the election and related topics … all of you, both in and outside the U.S. I am who I am, and as such, I’m going to write about things that are important … or that I perceive as being important … to us all, but I do value the opinion of those who take their time and energy to read my work, as well. And on that topic, I hope you all know how very much I appreciate you and the fact that you do come here every day, read my work, and take the extra time to leave a comment. You guys are the best blogging family I could ever have! Thank you.

This Sunday…
Sunday’s gentle calm descends upon the day,
A time for rest, reflection, in a peaceful way…
The week’s demands now gently drift away,
As tranquil moments in stillness softly stay…
.
It’s a time when family and friends convene,
Sharing love, laughter, and moments serene…
Leisurely activities soothe the soul,
Recharging hearts, making spirits whole…
.
The musical rhythm of the rainy breeze,
Invites contemplation and quiet ease…
A day to unwind, recharge, and renew,

“It seems to me that trying to
live without friends is like milking
a bear to get cream for your
morning coffee. It is a whole lot
of trouble, and then not worth
much after you get it.”
~ Lora Neale Hurston
