A (formerly) Far East located web site devoted to The Resistance, discussion of all things political, travel, women, golf, women,adventure, and did I mention women?
I have an acquaintance who writes a blog that is useful for little in terms of gaining knowledge but does provide helpful insight into how closed the minds of Trump supporters are and how utterly disturbed the conservative minds are. I consider myself to have some unique insight here, as I was

I have not been able to post for the last two months for many reasons. It’s been a hard couple of months. Between making a pilgrimage back to the sacred soil of my Alma Mater and then on to Shopping Mall – which, thanks to both of them being unmasked

One of the things that led me away from the Republican party forever was its descent into madness – punctuated by a fiendish adaptation of cruelty and selfishness. What I could not abide, as one who actually has made a study of economics, is the way they blithely dismissed the

It’s been a hell of a month for the land of my birth. Not in a good way, either, what with the death of RBG, Trump’s disastrous debate performance, the utter hypocrisy of the GOP’s stand on a Supreme Court nominee – coupled with the nomination of an unqualified religious
