The Independent Kixmiller Pigeon MrkII

Well, I voted earlier this week. I'm largely not satisfied with my choices though. When one looks at my ballot over the past decade, it's a mashup of dots all over the place as many are picked based on the merit of whether one can do their job, regardless of party. I don't owe anything to any party! The sad thing is when you're an Independent, their is no party that represents me.  As such, I try to free myself from that drug called partisan politics.   Yet, that won't stop many as presenting political  parties as deep, personal friends who genuinely  care about me. I didn't know that the political  parties were just like Jesus! This intoxicating drug induces people into thinking that their preferred side can do no wrong. Thus, they become blinded by ignorance and arrogance.   However, as an Independent, one is presented with few choices. As an Independent, I don't like voting for people that I don't like or support. While many Republicans complain ...

Anyone who is a regular on my blog  knows that I'm not a fan of Greg Abbott. For anyone who doesn't live in this state, its tempting to form a skewed image of him. While governors of other states will be occasionally mentioned on this blog in passing, I don't go into full detail about what happens in New York, California, or Florida because I don't live in those states. I don't feel the effects the policies and the effects that they have in those states. Also, what the governors of those states do don't affect me here in Texas.  If I was in a state that's largely run by Democrats, I would probably despise the Democrat party because of there hypocrisy. The Democrat Party is not immune from criticism though. At the same time, every complaint made against the Democrats can be equally applied to the Republican Party as well. Topics such as big money, control of lobbyist, insider politics, etc; affects both parties in the same capacity.  Things don't change b...

Something terrible has happened. Women in this country have just become second class citizens. The Supreme Court just declared that guns have more rights than women and children do. Women will die because of the decision made by the Supreme Court. Before I continue, there is something that I need to state: I hate abortion. At the same time though, this is a private, personal choice that isn't up to me or any preacher or politician to make for that matter. I have my belief system, but, it would be wrong to force my beliefs upon others.    Any religion has a right to exist in this country. I will uphold the rights of others when it comes to exercising there right to worship, regardless of whatever that religion is. It doesn't matter if that person if Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, or Muslim. And that includes the rights of those who choose not to worship at all. As long as that group in particular doesn't advocate hate or death, they have a right to worship need be. In a democrac...

I Don't Have Time For Family Drama There's this saying that you shouldn't go to bed angry because when you wake up in the morning, you're going to be in a foul mood. Well, this morning, I'm still somewhat in that fuming state-of-mind. One would think that after the last article "Things I Need To Get Of My Chest", I would have felt better. However, that lingering feeling of bitterness and disappointment hovers over me. It's that feeling of disappointment where one who should just accept who you are instead holds your views against you.  Before anyone calls me a hypocrite, there's been many of times (the vast majority actually), where I never said a word during conversations as many said things that I disagreed with, but kept my silence out of a sign of respect. Also, visitation to my blog is completely optional . Their are no guilt trips here. When I share a link on my Facebook Timeline, it usually just shows the title anyway, so one can skip it ...

  This post has been a long time in the making. Updates on my blog have been far and few. I've taken a break from it because supporting this blog has been draining on me emotionally. What started as a recreational time killer to release steam has involved into a labor of love that has been exhausting to maintain at times. This has especially been true during the outbreak. The migration of the blog from Duda to Blogspot has also been very taxing as well (moving some 200 post isn't fun). Thus, after the migration, I haven't really been that keen on updating the blog. I've been busy with many real-life commitments that have also been all-consuming. To unwind, I’ve mostly been playing video games and working on my YouTube channel. The introvert part of me takes over on my off-time. However, don't get the impression that I've forgotten about this blog. Their is a lot of content that I want to post. However, given that my blog is on a new platform, an opportunity ha...

Don't get me wrong, I'm very glad that Trump lost the election. After a moment of reflection though, I made a startling realization: CRAP.......BIDEN IS PRESIDENT NOW!? If one looked up the definition of "Career Politician" in the dictionary, one would see a picture of Biden next to that word. I know that he marketed himself as a Progressive, but there isn't anything progressive about him. His voting record over the decades confirm this. He's as career politician as they get. If one looks up Biden's scorecard on PolitiFact's Truth-O-Meter, he made countless false claims. On one hand, it's not on the same caliber as Trump. However, it isn't anything to brag about either if you get my drift.  I've said this before, but regardless of who wins, we the people lose, regardless of political affiliation. If Trump and Biden were the best that either party could do, then the whole system failed. Both candidates are cur...
