Looking Forward

July 27, 2022June 25, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

Today is not the date this post is published on, it is in fact the end of June. I’ve been reading the latest news about the US Supreme Courts ruling on Roe vs Wade. I’ve researched the actual ruling and read the current ruling. I’ve went through various comments, and articles, from both sides. What keeps rolling through my mind is: What is next? How do we fix this? What is this? And it is kind of in that order too. With so many things lately going on in the US, to some of us — on both sides — […]

Mob Voting

June 29, 2022June 29, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

I recently saw an meme that said something like, “Vote Blue No Matter What” and a soccer ball hitting the person’s face with Biden’s name on it. Are you fucking kidding me? We elected Dumb Shit who shouldn’t have ever been President only because, Republicans only know how to vote as a mob. Heck, just watch our Congress. Republican’s only vote as a single collective unit on anything. If one strays from the pack, they are quickly removed and/or reprimanded by other Republicans for breaking the “bro code”. Democrats, on the other hand, you can’t put two of them in […]

Something Pretty

May 18, 2022April 8, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

As I wandered upstairs I found this stunning arrangement of flowers that Scott put together from the yard outside. That lead me on a merry journey around the house, snapping pictures of it as I tried to find the best way to show case such a lovely display. He put together something that wasn’t this overloaded collection of whimsy. It wasn’t something trying to push any event or agenda. The presentation was just a few branches, a strand or two from a bush just starting to blossom. As I gazed at it, the assortment filled my mind with images of […]

War in Ukraine

April 13, 2022April 6, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

First and foremost, my heart, thoughts, and hope go out to all my friends who are involved in, or have loved ones, who are impacted by the terrible events happening in this evolving country. And that includes all of us who are left watching this tragic addition to our history that is unfolding in our world, especially in a time when these events should be below us. I can’t tell you how sad it hurts my heart to see people dealing with such a travesty when we really do have better things to focus on. When I was in high […]

Feelings of Dread

February 2, 2022February 6, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

I’ve got another related topic I started somewhere in my drafts that relates to this latest verbal digest, but I wanted to get this off my chest first. While going through my Twitter feed today, I saw the wonderful video of Cher singing the theme to Golden Girls. That was then shredded as I saw the news that our former ‘Dumb Shit’ of a President is possibly going to run again. He is going to try to take back the White House in 2024. What … the … fuck! Are we really going to do this all over again? Haven’t […]

$819 Billion Economic Stimulus Package

January 29, 2009January 18, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

This is proof that we … you, me and everyone else in America … are asleep at the wheel: “No House Republican voted for the stimulus package, yet 244 Democrats did.” The odds that 177 people of approximately 435 would each vote identically are astronomical UNLESS all of these people are “members” of a specific group where as this would not be so uncommon. Come on everyone. I know we each have different believes, feelings and thoughts but doesn’t this remind you of something? It does me, can anyone say “High School?” This is nothing but kids playing in a […]

A Day In History … TWICE!

January 21, 2009January 18, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

The first time in history, right on the most significant government website, is the future … hope … that change for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons is ahead. AND hope that our future as a people truly will be as a united race, one race. http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/civil_rights/ The first President in our history to put it right there on their official outlet – not hidden, not as a quick sideline but as their plan for the future (and yes, AFTER they’ve been elected….). It’s amazing and after all these years of being an activist (more so when I was younger), […]
