My dear readers, My mother died last week. I’m posting the communications I posted on my Facebook page to bring you up to speed. Blessings and love to each of you. April 22. Friends, I talked to my mother on FaceTime today, and she looked so much worse. The nurse just called me and said Mama is “winding down.” If she’s still here, I think they are going to let me in to see her tomorrow. I’ve been hermetically... Read more

Yet another study has shown that hydroxychloroquine not only does not help with COVID-19, it is associated with a higher death rate for patients who took it. From CNN: CNN)Coronavirus patients taking hydroxychloroquine, a treatment touted by President Trump, were no less likely to need mechanical ventilation and had higher deaths rates compared to those who did not take the drug, according to a study of hundreds of patients at US Veterans Health Administration medical centers. The study, which reviewed... Read more
This is going to be very short. It’s more of a palate cleanser than a post. I just have a few brief messages for the stupids out there in the hustings who’ve been running their mouths and saying — predictably — stupid things that could end up hurting other people. For the stupids who are carting their big guns around demonstrating against the rules designed to keep their foolish selves alive while using their little brains to run their mouths:... Read more

So why do you think God is punishing us? I’m reading more and more commentary from professional religios who seem certain that they know what has caused this pandemic. They don’t think it has anything to do with a virus. According to them, COVID-19 is God’s punishment on us all. Every one of these spiritual whiz kids agrees with every other spiritual whiz kid that the pandemic we are going through is the handiwork of a vengeful god who has... Read more

I’ve been hesitant to write this. Rush Limbaugh is facing death from advanced lung cancer. I absolutely do not want to attack him or do anything that would harm him. At the same time, his behavior at this time in his life is such a bad example that I’ve decided it’s important to say that it is a bad example. He is giving all of us a terrible example of how to face death. He is a very prominent man... Read more
For my great grandmother. r developed a national response to this national emergency. His venal destructiveness, unconcern for the welfare of this country and absolute incompetence placed us all in this position. Instead of governing, he used religious zealots. In bin Laden’s case, he paid them out of his personal fortune, which echoes the billionaire-funded organization behind the crowds we see now. What Trump is doing is no different. In fact, it is exactly the same. I am writing a... Read more
