No Kings! Savannah Edition

wsav

Yesterday Robert and I joined 2000 other Savannah area protesters to voice a resounding “No!” to the Trump administration’s lean toward authoritarianism and strong man politics which are attempting to destroy our nation’s soul.

Inspiring and encouraging speeches, lively posters and joyful camaraderie/solidarity.

Fellow church buddies

I thought I was going to have to take HR’s little megaphone away from him! 

From our mayor …

And this poster expressed part of the reason I attended this incredible event …

“Let Freedom Ring, and there be No King.”

Happy (?) Pride Month 2025

“Pride Month is a month-long observance dedicated to the celebration of LGBTQ pride, commemorating the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual,  transgender and queer (LGBTQ) culture and community. Pride Month is observed in June in the United States, coinciding with the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots, a series of gay liberation protests.” Wiki

But our federal government doesn’t seem to agree that there should be a Pride Month in the United States …

May the Pride Flag continue to Fly Freely in our troubled nation.

I Wonder If …

I wonder if all the people who voted for Trump are happy about and supportive of his continuing acts of strongman tyranny.

Is this the kind of president they want?

Is this the kind of country they want?

Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 4/7/25

This is a little late, but here’s what I’m moaning about this Monday.

SERIOUSLY?

I truly believe that the current administration has evil and dangerous elements.

Especially when it relates to African-American and minority populations in our nation.

And more especially when it comes to WHITEwashing history.

Just look at a few recent headlines …

Stop him. Stop him. Stop him. Stop him.

Lord in Your mercy, hear our prayer.

MAWA — Make America …

… White Again.

The Associated Press

Wow. That’s certainly a pretty clear message.

A little more detail:

Channel 4 News

And of course, it would have to be another loony (think Marjorie Taylor Greene) Georgia representative spewing racist, hateful rancor:

The beautiful affirmation that the lives of black folks do matter is a stain? Seriously?

May these voices of hatred, racism and political evil lose their ability to be heard.

Lord, in Your Mercy, Hear Our Prayer.

I’m Ashamed …

… of this “president.”

And I’m embarrassed for the United States.

Trump is Insane Evil Personified.

May his arrogant, horrific destruction of our wonderful nation be stopped. Be stopped. Be stopped.

Lord in Your Mercy, Hear our Prayer.

Drag On

In a recent post, I mentioned that one of the major donors for the current Savannah Performing Arts Festival withdrew his funding because the festival was to include a section on the Art of Drag.

Art. Key word …. “Art.”

This injustice, of course, follows a dangerously growing trend led by the Trump regime to damage/destroy trans and LGBTQ rights in the United States, a country that proclaims liberty and justice FOR ALL.

Apparently, “ALL” now means white and straight.

But thankfully, ALL are not narrow-minded and evil …

May Evil’s Democracy-Destroying Voice Be Silenced.

Lord, in Your Mercy, Hear Our Prayer.
