8 REASONS I WON'T VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS

After sitting on the sidelines and watching the 2024 Presidential Campaigns, I decided I needed to address the ongoing dishonesty with a flat-out fact-checking exercise. I'm not writing to persuade you one way or the other, but rather to present facts. It's the deceit and manipulation that I cannot abide. It deeply bothers me every time I hear or see the manipulation. If you do not believe what I'm writing, look it up for yourself. No. 1 -- PROJECT 2025 IS TRUMP'S DOCUMENT -- NO! AGENDA 47 VP and opponent Kamala Harris and her campaign actively say during rallies that former President Trump supports Project 2025, a 900-page document. Trump has said on many occasions he doesn't know what that document is. He didn't write it, support or promote it. It was published by a democratic organization, The Heritage Foundation . Here is the link to the actual Project 2025; please read what the group says. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with Trump. Kamala, w

Kitty Wisdom: Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kitty Wisdom about? It’s my love letter to my kitties, Slurpee and Icee. I wanted to tell a story about cat adoption to educate cat lovers about their furry friends. I wrote a personal journey story about finding and adopting my “kitty kids,” and within the context of storytelling I also impart loads of “wisdom” all cat parents should know.   Is this a how-to guide?   Not exactly – it’s really a kind of “day-in-the-life” tale. Within the context of the story, I share critical facts about cat care, food, health, and behavior. It’s not a deep dive into these subjects, but rather an endearing overview of this information without getting too technical. Most prospective and current cat owners need to be aware of some of the critical data, but may not want to get too much detail. For example, the book highlights things like plants and materials that can sicken kitties. Many cat owners may not be aware that certain plants like lilies can actually unalive their kitties. Therefo

Cats are Trending - Kitty Wisdom

Image
  CATS ARE TRENDING Cats are getting more attention than ever before.   Last year cats began trending on the Internet and social media. We saw cats in popular TV shows like And Just Like That where the character Che gives the iconic Carrie Bradshaw a kitten. On social media such as TikTok, Facebook and Instagram, cats took center stage in groups with titles like Cat Lovers. On Tiktok, cat enthusiasts post popular cat videos on the CatTok channel. With so much increased interest in our feline friends, a new book titled Kitty Wisdom: A Cat Lover’s Guide to Adopting and Caring for Kitties is being released for the new year.   Written by author Michelle Gamble, the book is her love letter to her two kitties, Slurpee and Icee. She wrote the book in a memoir style to share her adoption journey and all of the funny, entertaining moments she has experienced with her fur babies. Gamble walks readers through the adoption process and then explores daily cat care. Wh

The Border Crisis: A Question of Taking Care of American Citizens

Image
  The issue of 2023, and probably well into 2024, has to do with illegal immigration into the United States. Under the Biden Administration, our border has literally become an open invasion of our country. If you're not concerned about it or you believe it's somehow racist to want our open border closed, then you're in for a hard reality.  As our leadership provides sanctuary cities and literally rewards illegal immigration with food, shelter and clothing, the rest of America can well, and let's be blunt, suffer. We literally are paying via our tax dollars for these people to come here, meanwhile our own veterans and countryman (including the homeless) end up kicked out of shelters and left to fend for themselves -- and let's be clear, we're talking about legal citizens who paid taxes or fought for our country.  How has this gotten so out of control? Since the beginning of 2023, 2.5 million migrants have crossed the border from Mexico into the U.S. (I think that

Excerpt Kitty Wisdom: Chapter 4: A Day in the Life

  Chapter 4 A Day in the Life “ I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul .” – Jean Cocteau   “The Brothers”                   Have you ever heard in cat talk something called the “zoomies”? I define the zoomies in a visual and auditory way. Watching two cats racing at full speed around the house, across and over furniture, and literally up walls, that’s the zoomies (formally known as Frenetic Random Activity Pattern or FRAP). I usually hear the zoomies when the galloping starts. I can be writing at my desk and first thing in the morning, what do I hear? Gallop, gallop, gallop, crash, slide, meow, chase, race, pounce, jump, roll, and repeat . Most zooming takes place in the morning or late afternoon after a good nap has refueled the tank. I find the zoomies hilarious to watch. My desk faces the hallway so I’ve been a silent observer of cats racing back and forth in front of the two open French doors. I watch

And Just Like That, Season 2 Disappointing and Disjointed

Image
  Let me be clear, I adored Sex and the City . The series was groundbreaking in every sense of the word. It frankly, openly and without judgment talked about relationships and sex in ways that no other TV show had done. It delved into women's issue with moxie and style.  However, this "thing" we call And Just Like That is so degraded and diluted into this sociological/political, over-the-top statement about every sexual and racial comment about today's culture that it's hardly recognizable.  Other reviewers have already explored its tragically misguided narrative and disjointed storyteller, so I am going to stick to character destruction, especially with our beloved Carrie Bradshaw.  In Season 2, Episode 2, our heroine Carrie pointedly refuses to do a vaginal suppository commercial. She fusses and fumes over having to essentially shill for the "vag," and to that end her character flips into uptight -- uncharacteristic -- behavior. She simply won't do

Kitty Wisdom: Bad Kitty

Image
  I only wish I had caught this on video … Slurpee got up on the kitchen counter and like a bandido in fine criminal style, pulled a bag of bread down to the ground. By the time we caught him mid-steal, he had trotted off to my daughter’s bedroom with the bag in his mouth. His plan, you ask? To eat his stash under the bed. Speaking of that bed, we discovered that both Slurpee and Icee had started stealing food (cans of cat food, bread, etc.) and eating it under the bed. To suggest that cats don’t know exactly what they’re doing is wrong. The little buggers knew they would be in trouble for stealing and hoarding food, so they hid it. It reminded me of the person who hides food they know they’re not supposed to eat. But, the image of Slurpee swiping that bread and heading off to the bedroom with the loaf in his mouth … well, priceless! He looked like a dog with a ball in his mouth. I used to read this book series called Bad Kitties by Nick Bruel to my daughter Cambri
