At least for now, this site will be focused on my thoughts on politics.  I want to be very clear that I have nothing to do with Stephen K. Bannon, who refers to himself as the honey badger, nor is this blog associated with Emily Badger of the New York Times.  Badger is just a nickname I picked up around forty years ago.

I tried to give Donald Trump a chance to rise to the office of President.  I gave him a whole year, but I couldn’t keep all of this frustration bottled up inside.  If you’re a Trump fan, move on.  No disrespect here. (okay, maybe a little).  Just someone exercising their first amendment right to free speech, while we still have it.  Maybe some tongue in cheek humor.  Hopefully, some thought-provoking post.  But I am not going to allow comments.  That would turn into a free for all, with name-calling and a constant need for me to moderate posts.  I am not doing this to start an argument.

Most adults have already formed their opinions, and are unlikely to change their minds.  If you are not a Trump fan, I feel your pain, and this blog is meant for you.  What I see happening to America since the election of Donald J. Trump to the office of President, not only disturbs me, it terrifies me.  I am neither Democrat or Republican.  In my state, the official designation is “No Party Affiliation”.  It’s not that I don’t care, I do.  I vote in almost every election.  My belief is that I am not going to blindly follow any political party.  I am motivated by the people and their actions.  I don’t really expect anyone to read this.  It is just that I have some frustrations I need to expunge.  I have found that when dealing with a difficult time in my life it helps to write it down.

Rather than try to express my whole point of view on the front page, I will start breaking it into posts, and hopefully by category as well.  Let the chaos begin.  If you would like to visit websites that are about my other endeavors, such as photography, an illustrated book, a site about cats, Windows customization, GIF animation, and badgers of course.  Links to all of those are at www.netbadger.com.
