January 23rd, 2026. In my spare time I watch a show called "My 600 Pound Life". It's a show you can turn on, fall asleep and wake up to, over and over for days if you wanted. While watching one episode in particular recently, I couldn't help but wonder about the aspect of social work involved. Oftentimes you see these women in excess of 500 pounds being followed around by a much smaller unemployed fiance or husband. The episode in particular that I was watching that gave me cause to write this article specifically brought up this point.

Entrapment is an affirmative legal defense claiming law enforcement induced an otherwise innocent person to commit a crime they had no predisposition to commit. It requires proving government agents originated the criminal design and pressured the defendant, rather than just providing the opportunity. What is NOT Entrapment: Merely providing an opportunity, undercover sting operations, lying about identity, or using decoys is legal, provided they do not cross the line into coercion.

But mostly...what IS entrapment in this case if it contradicts itself?

This is likely because of the stark differences between a modern day influencer and a physician. Most doctors today would be all too happy to refute any coordinated dance routine performed in front of a ring lamp that told you you were autistic. Yet, it would appear that the combination of the broad reach of influencers and the huge number of individuals who spend more time staring at their phone screens than watching where they’re going is winning in a battle of popularity. This all leads to the question, “if my doctor says I don’t need that medication, how do I get my hands on it anyway”?

Madalyne Murray O’Hair was a famous agitator and founder of The American Atheists. She gained her following from her famous case in 1963 wherein she successfully had prayer removed from schools. Next, she filed suit against the pledge of allegiance to remove the words “under god”. I did quite a deep dive into her and just to spoil it for you, her life ended when three kidnappers brutally murdered her, her granddaughter, and her son in an attempt to collect $625,000 in offshore extorted currency. All that aside, at the end of my research into her I noticed something…not once did she ever lobby to have “In God We Trust” removed from U.S. currency. I suppose in the end anything is worth the fight until a whole lot of money is involved.

The Trump Family IS a corrupt family, as sure as they'll profit on the War with Iran, with this drone deal.

Trump's wasting billions of our tax dollars per day on the war with Iran. Could he be making America go broke so Russia can step in?

Things in this world seem to baffle me. I never know what to expect sometimes. Some things look drab and others pretty, but what's inside that counts. Everything can seem ordinary, yet be so special, so precious. Life is like that. I don't know why, but it's different.

When Epstein’s files related to Donald Trump disappear and then reappear some time later, confidence in the American justice system plummets.

Believing in your self. Building courage to ignore the negative words spoken to you. Allowing your self shine as bright as you truly are.

A life where no one knows where to go. A life full of joy and sadness. One where the whole world thirsts for something more. Every day is a new season. Every day is something new.

After trying patience, silence, and diplomacy, a quiet girl discovers a dangerous truth: sometimes the only way to deal with devils is to become the bigger one. Although she often wonders if this is the best strategy.

The most important lessons in life rarely come from what we see—they come from what we experience. I’ve been writing stories since I first learned the alphabet. Being born legally blind has shaped the way I experience the world—focusing less on what can be seen and more on what can be felt, understood, and learned from the people and moments around us. In this first post, I share the story behind Life Through My Lens and the journey that led me here.

Starting over with less than nothing is certainly a feeling I never thought I'd have to live with, certainly not at the hands of people who are meant to pick you up when you fall.

My childhood was spent in submission to a system that wanted me squished into the pieces of an identity. Continue Reading...
