Antiracism comes to the heartland – Marxism is knocking on our back doors and our teachers are being forced to find where they are on the “oppression matrix.” Our world has gone truly mad. Also, why is everyone so obsessed with skin color? What happened to the content of our character? This obsession will not promote unity. This week’s book review is “Trust No One” by Debra Webb. (Which perfectly describes our political environment right now). As always, I end the podcast with some story ideas, along with a prompt for romance, horror and mystery.
Censorship is a cancer that seems to be spreading every day. I still can’t believe it’s happening and we’re either unaware of it, and/or are too afraid to stop it. I spend a considerable amount of time trying to wrap my head around this issue. This week’s book review is “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes and it’s been around for quite some time – I had no idea. I only have a few story ideas for you this week, but they’re good ones.
Well, you asked for it and ready or not, here it is! Kevin and I promoted our podcast to video! (Actually, no one asked for it but this has now become our hobby so … you’re welcome! LOL) Let me just tell you .. Kevin was a reluctant participate at first but now that we’ve been doing this for several weeks, he’s way more into the recording part of our podcast than I am. And I don’t even do most of the work! I just show up and talk.
He purchased a license to Filmora 9 editing software and he’s been loving it! He learns something a little each time he uses it and now that we’ve been doing this for a bit, he’s getting really good at it.
I confess. I haven’t watched these all the way through. It’s not because I don’t support Kevin and all of his hard work putting these together (he spends HOURS lining up the audio with the video as we record on the microphone and record them on the camera) but because I can’t stand to watch myself. I’ll watch them back eventually but right now? It’s too soon.
Please be patient as we (and by we I mean Kevin) works through camera issues. He’s getting better and better and he learns a little more each time. He is playing around with transitions and I think he taught himself how to insert pictures/graphs.
Our channel is Right From Us on YouTube. I know at some point he’s going to make an account on Rumble simply because we can’t trust YouTube to eventually find us and censor us as we’re right leaning and obviously critical of radical left wing agendas. I’ll link that account when that happens.
Anyway. I hope you enjoy two mature (ahem) people shoot the breeze about today’s politics. We are working on making our podcast more lighthearted and fun as we don’t want it to just become a bitch fest. And we’re also working really hard to challenge ourselves to think objectively and present ALL sides to an issue, not just OUR side.
Thanks for watching!
Side note: I’m here, I promise! Work just wipes me out. However, I think I know what is going on – I’m low on iron. Well, that and I haven’t been feeling that great the past two weeks. (COVID? We’ll never know). But I took some iron supplements this past week and I feel a lot less tired. I’m currently furiously writing posts and hope to have a lot to publish this week. Stay tuned!
This has been a week, hasn’t it? I had so much more to talk about but alas, I think listening to me for one hour is way too long as it is, I wouldn’t dream of pushing my luck any further. I had a hard time articulating my thoughts about the censorship that is happening – it’s unbelievable to me that America has reached this point. Is this the beginning of the end for our Constitution? Book review is “Burden of Truth” by Robin James. Listen to the end for some interesting story ideas. Talk to you next week!

This week I talk about our family (or lack thereof) Christmas, my goals for 2021, book review “Games We Played” and top headlines along with strange news stories that would make wonderfully strange stories. Grab a cup ‘o joe and let’s talk!
Sharing our Christmas with you. My thoughts on the COVID-19 vaccine and so-called “experts” and government hypocrisy. I read an excerpt from this week’s book review, “Winter’s Mourn” by Mary Stone as well as an article on hope – something we all need right now.
