Ramblings Of My Life

Ramblings Of My Life

By Erica Michelle Steyskal

I can ramble on and on about subjects that effect my life and subjects that I love. As a 40 year old woman I have struggled with a lot but I refused to be a victim. The topics here might sound random but they are not. Some subjects will be about stuff the effects me daily such as world new. Some subjects are going to be on things that made me do some soul searching . I will try and get to point and not ramble too much.

Ahmaud Arbery, Fox News vs CNN: Who is giving fair coverage?

Ahmaud Arbery, Fox News vs CNN: Who is giving fair coverage?

The Ahmaud Arbery case is so tragic. In this weeks episode my husband and I talk about the case. We each researched the case separately. I did my research solely on Democrat leaning news sources. He based his information on Republican leaning news sources. See how much the left and right side only share what they want you to know. Is it too much for a news outlet to just report the news and not have an Oppion about it. Give us all the info and let us decide what we want to think about it.

The Pentagon formally released three unclassifed videos on Monday. These Videos were taken by Navy pilots

They were considered as “ Unidentified Aerial Phenomena”

They were first published in 2017 by the New York Times and the Stars Academy of Arts and Sciences.

One video from 2004 referred to as FLIR1.

Two videos from 2015 and referred as ‘Go Fast’ and ‘Gimbal’.

Is this the New Area 51?

I keep Kung Flu Fighting from my Couch

I keep Kung Flu Fighting from my Couch

What does the NYPD, Jack Sparrow and Drones have in common? 

The News on this episode

In this episode I found 4 news articles to talk over with my husband. 

  • The first article has a super troopers feel to it. 
  • The second article is show how easy and fast things can get out of control when people don't have all the information.
  • The third article is most likely the start of the next Jack Sparrow movie.
  • AND the last one I put in because I knew it would get under my husbands skin. lol

Now there are a few foul words in here when repeating quotes.  We do try to keep this as clean as possible.

Also please know that we do not encourage violence between any parties. We do respect law officials and believe those officials should respect citizens and their rights. 

Hope you enjoy.

Let me say i miss spoke in the plane crash in this episode. It was not coming from Iraq. It was in fact coming from Iran. So we have a ton of crazy stuff going in the news today. And one of the headlines I was surprised by and thought no way is this true.. it has to be click-bait... but nope. Comments can be emailed to 1ericamichelle@gmail.com

Everyone has got an opinion

Everyone has got an opinion

I have heard someone say "Opinions are like Butt holes, everyone's got one". I guess that'true... But not everyone shares their butt as freely as they do their opinion. I know that was wrong on so many levels... But I thought it was funny.
