Born a 10th generation Oregonian, (5 generations on each side) I have an enthusiasm for learning and teaching new things. After a ten year mini career in the dental field I moved on to research and embraced the social web. Though the internet is far too large for any one person to claim to be an expert, I can hold my own with the latest trends.
I enjoy researching and writing blogs. As the "Internet Program Director" for myMotherLode.com since 2008, I update the website and have a wide variety of interests. There is always something entertaining, educational or inspirational to share.
As Winston Churchill said to Neville Chamberlain after the Munich Agreement: “You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war.”
The humanitarian tragedy of the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan will extend far past its initial fight for control. China and Russia are already making a deal with the Taliban. The abuse and execution of citizens and attacks on educated women have begun. The original deal cut by the Trump Administration called for a systematic withdrawal, region by region, not the complete and sudden evacutio0n by Biden against the advice of military advisors. After determinedly over-turning every single action of the previous Administration, we find it disingenuous for President Biden to now claim that he was simply sticking with a deal made by Trump.
Joe Biden’s national security advisor is imploring OPEC to increase oil production “at a critical moment in the global recovery.” The gall of the demand is breathtaking considering the actions taken by the Administration to cut and curtail production here at home threatening our new oil independence, finally, from foreign oil.
