I am not an anti-vaxxer, though I am sure to be labeled as such. Feel free to lump me in with the group of "hesitant" vaxxers, however. My logic is that we simply do not have enough data about the longer-term effects of the new vaccines and their delivery methods to know if they are really safe. All indications that I have read from many experts indicate that the vaccines and delivery method are safe, but life experience tells me to see how they stand the test of time. My analysis of COVID data also leads me to the conclusion...

Good Afternoon And WELCOME To The Grace Curley Show, Hosted By A Conservative Millennial!

This link from my Jim Cousens website (a site already judged not to be up “to community standards” on Facebook) is a comic Australian approach to making sense of how a great cheat and drug addict is idolised for his unique sporting skill. Australians often make sense of things by ridiculing them. As did Mark Twain. Diego Maradona’s very clever act of cheating is called the Hand Of God and determined the result of a major international sporting contest. He should have been given a red card and ejected from the game. Instead he got a goal. What does that...

Georgia is ground zero in the battle for the balance of power in Washington, D.C., as control of the U.S. Senate now hinges on the outcome of the two Senate runoff races in the Peach State. With the Senate majority leadership within his reach, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) recently declared, “Now we take Georgia, and then we change America.” Now Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are reportedly the latest Hollywood celebrities to lend their star power to Democrats in Georgia, hoping to boost the chances of candidates Raphael Warrnock and Jon Ossoff and turn the Senate blue.

When my husband was going through Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning, we weren't able to be with him at first, but our kids really needed to be with their dad. So, I drove from upstate New York to Georgia cross country with three kids a U-Haul, and a dog. I found an apartment, but did not have any furniture. I went to a thrift store and found this antique wooden bed with a high headboard. I tied it to the top of the car, The brakes during the trip had worn, and you had to stomp on them very...

When we were stationed in Germany in the mid 80's I was heavily pregnant with our second child,. The prenatal medical care was very poor, they let me go over my due date by three weeks and our son arrived on his father's birthday, so I gave my husband the best birthday present ever! We were living on the economy near Schweinfurt in an attic apartment owned by a German couple, the Ecks, who did not speak English very much, nor did we speak German very well at all. Before I had our son I was trying to get all...

The Atlantic on Monday published a lengthy account of the Trump family’s rise, political aspirations and, allegedly, the infighting between Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. including suspicions of planted stories about the other. That reporting has been enthusiastically denied by the White House, where Ivanka works as a senior aide to her dad, President Donald Trump. Discussing the story on Tuesday’s episode of The View, however, co-host Meghan McCain said she trusted what it showed, calling it “illuminating.” But she said she wasn’t as moved to empathy about the family as co-host Abby Huntsman. “I found myself feeling sorry...

CNN host John King couldn't believe no contestant on the popular trivia show "Jeopardy!" knew the answer to a question about the Russia investigation, wondering Friday what that said about the nation's "focus." "Only the smartest of the smart get to be on Jeopardy, right?" King asked. "So what does this little exchange last night say about the nation's focus, or lack thereof, on the whole [Robert] Mueller Russia meddling and collusion investigation?" Two contestants buzzed in and responded incorrectly to the $1,000 clue Thursday night, "In 2017, this ex-National Security Adviser pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI?" One...

Josh McCown knew right away. He knew he was done. Definitely for the rest of Sunday’s game. Likely for the rest of this season. And possibly for his career, which has spanned more than 15 years and eight different teams. That’s why, when McCown emerged from the trainer’s room in the bowels of Sports Authority Field at Mile High after breaking is left hand late in the third quarter of the Jets’ 23-0 loss to the Broncos, his eyes already were red from the burning of tears.

As the web of accusation against Judge Roy Moore begins to unfold as the "The Fake News Story", it now appears to be,...let me clearly state that the only people that can judge Roy Moore are the legal, registered, voters in the great state of Alabama. What Mitch McConnell and his band of Republican Establishment RINOS, screech out every day means absolutely nothing. The voters of Alabama will decide and determine the political fate of Judge Roy Moore...period. I would suggest with much gusto and drive, that "ALL" the good voters in Alabama, fully support and cast their votes on...

Some 300 U.S. Marines landed in Norway on Monday for a six-month deployment, the first time since World War Two that foreign troops have been allowed to be stationed there, in a deployment which has irked Norway's Arctic neighbor Russia. Officials played down any link between the operation and NATO concerns over Russia, but the deployment coincides with the U.S. sending several thousand troops to Poland to beef up its Eastern European allies worried about Moscow's assertiveness. Marines from Camp Lejeune in North Carolina landed a little after 10 am CET (0900 GMT) at a snow-covered Vaernes airport near Trondheim,...
