“Defund the Police” is Misleading:
and an unfortunate choice of phrase

Posted on June 29, 2020 by Kelli Jae BaeliSeptember 12, 2020

Let’s be clear. The perhaps well-meaning “Defund the Police” movement (most notably on Twitter) is NOT a Democratic movement, nor WISE. It’s an extreme, and extremes are terrible choices. The most extreme among the Defunders want to eliminate cops. If there are no cops at all, what happens when your daughter or grandmother calls for help when a man is following her on a dark street? When someone is trying to break in? What happens when there’s an active shooter at a grade school? We need to maintain law and order, but that phrase has also been both usurped and … Continue reading →

Gun Control vs. Second Amendment

Posted on October 3, 2017 by Kelli Jae BaeliSeptember 10, 2020

When I was in the military, I could disassemble an M-16A1 and put it back together. I qualified as Expert, only one shot away from Hawkeye, (due to a miscommunication by the Drill Sergeant with the tower). I appreciated and admired the design and power of this weapon. But as a civilian vet, now, do I need an automatic weapon? No. No, I do not. And neither does any other civilian. These guns are for killing. They are for killing other human beings. IN WAR.

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

Some bed-mates don’t appreciate the glare of the incandescent or fluorescent bulb, nor the ritualized nightly reading, especially after a session of lovemaking; it somehow offends their sensibilities that instead of basking in the afterglow of their amorous ministrations, you are instead basking in the glow of a lamp, continuing your bibliophilic devotionals while they lie there with a pillow over their face, feeling somehow slighted...(Thoughts from a Literary Contrarian)

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)

A friendly reminder that banks collected around $30 billion dollars in overdraft fees last year. That’s right, banks collected $30 billion from people who literally have no money.

I'm sorry, but as someone who has lived through INTENSE sexual harassment, these allegations are, while certainly entailing inappropriate and concerning conduct that could upset someone, not exactly what rises to the level of "disturbing." Don't resign, @andrewcuomo .

Lifting all COVID restrictions, and also seatbelt law? Obviously the Texas GQP is trying to mass murder all Texans. Question is, what are Texas citizens gonna do about it?
