I am bailing out of FaceBook.  There is nothing there worth seeing these days and I am hoping my friends will just sign in to my Blog to find out what is going on with Bobbi and Me.   I used the term 'hang em high' when referencing Hannity and friends on Fox, and I was banned from FB for 30 days.  Meanwhile Fox still has a FB presence while in the process of trying to kill our democracy. Go figure ..read more

 It has been three and a half years since my last post.  I am thinking of starting to post again because I don't want to use FB any more, or any other social media that exists for mainly rightwing trolls and advertisers ..read more

I wish trump would just drop dead. I don't worry about Pence taking over.  We could just get some guy to dress up as Jesus and have the secret service let him sneak into Pence's White House bedroom every night.  Then Jesus could tell him what to do along the lines of common sense and charity.  I wish that would happen. And please read this ..read more

My breakfast mate this morning agreed that after investing so many years in the TV drama "House of Cards", that we were no longer watching it.  Mainly, because watching the trump administration is even more outrageous.  trump hasn't pushed a reporter in front of a train yet, but he has pushed the whole concept of a free press in front of it.  And then there is Giuliani, Cohen, Pruitt and the rest of that gang to provide daily examples of how our country has branched into an alternate dystopian universe ..read more

People being offended by the First Amendment being used at the White House Correspondent' Dinner.  Get over it. trump's EPA giving a financial hardship status to a billionaire, Carl Ichan, so he can escape regulations at his refinery that protects public health and safety. Pope Francis being pilloried by the right-wing faction of the Catholic Church for being a left of center Pope.  But they all still wear funny looking clothes. Baptist leaders insisting abused women must stay with their husbands and ask god to help out with their spouse ..read more

Local TV news has morphed into a police blotter. They run at least half a dozen security cam or lapel cam videos a day. (All photographers can forget about a profession in TV news any longer.) The news directors and reporters are not journalists, they are ET tonight wannabees. If you took them all and gave them an exam on government and civics I am betting 90% of them would get Fs and the others a D minus. I feel for sorry for the TV and radio reporters of from earlier decades who must watch this trash and wonder what happened. But we know what it is, really, it is greed from the broadcaster's ..read more

Senator Udall--no statement on assault weapons ban, but he always wears a cowboy hat. Congressman Ben Ray Lujan--no statement on assault weapons ban,  but likes photo ops. Senator Heinrich--supports an assault weapons ban and likes to go bow hunting. Congressman Pearce--a bad guy with a gun but wants to be Governor. Congresswoman Lujan Grisham--supports a ban on assault weapons and wants to be Governor. Udall and Lujan appear to be cowardly ..read more

There are some Democrats who are upset that Gene Veneklassen, the perfect fit for being elected Land Commissioner, was once a republican.  He switched because he could see the depravity of the GOP, but people like Ralph Arellanes Sr., a former Obama appointee and young Party member Israel Chavez seems to think that one should vote against him anyway.  This is the Democratic Party at its worse.  There is a gutter level attack going on against Veneklassen that is modeled on trump attacks on his opponents.  It is shameful and sophomoric.  Arellanes and Chavez shame t ..read more

I feel so relieved that Susana Martinez just made her last speech to the Legislature.  Really, of all the Governors I have worked for or observed she has been the most visionless, the most vicious and the biggest failure.  I honestly could not point to one thing she has accomplished that would help the long-term success of New Mexico.  Even Gary Johnson built a few things that were positive. Really though, the thing that has stood out about her administration is the nastiness emanating out of the fourth floor in the capitol.  Her minions never talked issues, they just tras ..read more
