Patriot Retort –
I’m happy to announce that I now identify as a gainfully employed freelance copy writer. From now on my pronouns are Peggy and Olson.
This decision was a difficult one. But I have to be true to myself. I hope my stunning and brave stand will encourage every other Peggy Olson out there to step up and speak out.
But seriously, folks. I can’t tell you how relieved I am not to be lying awake at night worrying that I won’t be able to pay my bills. That’s not a particularly fun feeling; and it’s one I’ve had every night since 2012.
I’ve been so poor I had to learn how to mend my own clothes. And let’s just say I’m not particularly good with a needle and thread. Last year I tried to mend a torn seam in a pair of shorts. The sloppy sewing job didn’t survive the day. So I resorted to Gorilla tape. more
…congratulations and God Bless, Peggy Olson. You clearly have a talent for writing, I just hope you didn’t damage your job prospects by outing yourself by name as a “patriot”. Many corporations and MOST of the government HATE that…
….but you need never worry. The Lord will provide.
“25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
Matthew 6:25-34
God Bless,

Jimmy’s daughter? Guess not …different spelling; Congratulations on your new situation!
Perseverance and long suffering pays off. Wait to go Dianny!
Congratulations. I hope it works out well for you.
My employer found me through Patriot Retort, so no worries that my political website shenanigans will get me fired.
Good luck on your new endeavor Peggy Olson! 🕊️❤️🙏
But keep an eye out for Superman! You’ll know him when you see him: black glasses, square jaw, 6’3″, works as a reporter for a great – but failing – metropolitan newspaper. Apparently, has a brother named Larry.
Dianny: I take that as a positive sign!
Don Draper is proud!
