Repressive Evil Has Its Hold on the “United” States

Posted on by Neal Saye

I simply don’t understand our federal government’s Administration of Hatred.

Crosswalk by Georgia Voice

WHY would these people take something born out of LOVE, the gay flag, and “recreate it” as … terrorism?

It makes NO sense.

Except perhaps in the twisted minds of authoritarian strongmen dictators and their blind-to-truth followers.

An excerpt from the disturbing article …

advocate.com

Here’s the link to the full disturbing article:

And here’s the beautiful Progress Flag the article references, along with the meaning behind the colors …

Maybe I’m stupid, but I don’t quite get how …

LIFE

HEALING

SUNLIGHT

NATURE

HARMONY

SPIRIT

And inclusive Love directed toward Indigenous Peoples, People of Color and Transgender People …

… are terroristic threats.

This is fascist insanity beyond belief.

But this is my country too, and I call upon …

HR and his megaphone

… all true patriots to condemn this cancerous Avalanche of Hatred that Trump and his cronies are unleashing upon our nation and its very soul.

Long Live Love

Tuesday Toxicity

Posted on by Neal Saye

I find it increasingly difficult to look at the news—from any source—these days. Trump’s Toxic Totalitarianism is literally day by day destroying the soul and self of what used to be the United States.

I feel that we MUST speak out against this administration’s resolve to annihilate our democracy.

A few headlines today …

WTOC

Hmmm …

An untruthful Trump campaign sign

Hitler-esque evil …

WTOC

A deadly regime …

cnn

Lack of respect …

WTOC

Unreasonable Hatred …

Spineless cronies …

We MUST speak out against these injustices.

We MUST rebel and vote evil out of control.

Any Thyme

Posted on by Neal Saye

“Robert, please get me a lemon and some fresh thyme,” I said-pled, as we finished up some shopping, and I headed to the car, while he was trekking across the street to one of our favorite little independent grocers.

Back home I delved into magical alchemy …

Homemade simple syrup, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, orange slices and … some THYME.

Slash it all together with some Tito’s and voilà …

Wait, that is not the best shot!

That’s a little better.

But here, look at the lavender blooms of the thyme through the glass …

And here are photographer Robert’s photos …

It’s thyme …

I Wonder If …

Posted on by Neal Saye

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?

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Brilliant red blooms of the Fire Lily in a yard near us.

2. Enjoying a delicious and educational olive oil tasting at Woodpecker Trail Olive Farm near Glenville GA.

3. Making a very yummy Strawberry Pear Pie with fresh-picked strawberries from Sonrise Farms near Dublin GA.

4. Our skin, which wraps us up so lovingly.

5. This beautifully quirky little pillow on the couch in the waiting area at my therapist’s office.

(I wonder if it was strategically placed there to somehow assess or affect our mental health.)

May you have a Healthy Weekend ahead – mentally and otherwise!

… 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.
