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

Kelli Jae Baeli 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?

Gun Control vs. Second Amendment

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

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"That's about as much fun as inflamed hemorrhoidal tissues. But not quite as much fun as trying to spell hemorrhoidal."

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)

My wife just said, "The most dangerous animal on the planet is a--"
And I interjected, like I'm on Jeopardy,"What is a white Republican man?"

They "wake up" together in the spring and "go to sleep" together in the autumn.🌳

I keep seeing these, so I made my own.

It is quite telling - women don’t appear to be the ones who are the “emotional” gender.
