Went down to the local Dollar General and saw a sign that “masks” were now required to enter the store. I’ve so far refused to wear a mask as 1. I’m not sick, (depressed…yes) and 2. I refuse to live in fear. Unfortunately too many people it seems are afraid.
Abraham Lincoln had once stated the the invention of writing was perhaps the greatest invention of mankind in that it allowed the dead to speak to the living and the living to speak to generations yet unborn.

On this MLK day, I always remember one of his lesser known quotes that I believe came true, but he never saw. “If America’s soul is poisoned, the autopsy will need to include the Vietnam war.“ I believe our present situation America finds itself in with regards to the far left was born on college campuses during the Vietnam war. While I don’t have anything against them protesting, especially since then they had a REAL reason, they never moved on. Today the bulk of the professors indoctrinating the youth are still stuck in this “America Sucks” mindset. The left does not achieve satisfaction from accomplishments, they are much happier with tearing something apart. Their first high is protesting, the second is being totalitarian tyrants.
If we are not careful, our colleges will produce a group of close-minded, unscientific, illogical propagandists, consumed with immoral acts. Be careful, ‘brethren!’ Be careful, teachers!” Martin Luther King, Jr.
If I didn’t know better I would think he’s talking about our “Woke” Governor. No, he isn’t, not specificly. But so many in the Republican leadership are so scared of their own shadows.
We are in the midst of a “Cold Civil War”. It’s outcome as yet undermined.
