Thank you for stopping by NYC Mood Swings. As like everyone else I have mood swings, especially with all the turmoil in this Country and around the World. Here is where I unleash my opinions, thoughts, hopes and fears. Get involved in the discussion and leave a comment. I would like to give advance thanks to all media that I use to express my views here. Enjoy.
I am writing this post as a Black Female Liberal Democrat but as I continue you will see it's not about partisan politics. Fear is what drives my words. Below you will find the different parties in this country with descriptions of their beliefs. The reason for the acknowledgement is to show how different we all are. However what you do see is LOVE FOR OUR COUNTRY by all parties.
Now with all of our different views, wants and needs the ONE thing that should be first and foremost and that is to protect our country from "Foreign and Domestic threats.
Protection from Enemies – Foreign and Domestic
The Founding Fathers who framed our Constitution in 1787 knew that individuals have certain unalienable rights – life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,as earlier expressed in the Declaration of Independence. These rights were God-given rights. No government or constitution gave them to the individual. Rather, the purpose of governments and constitutions was to protect these basic, God-given rights. The Founding Fathers comprehended how and why people behave the way they do. Men like James Madison and Alexander Hamilton understood human nature. They saw that some human beings would always resort to force, deceit, war, stealing, and killing to get what they wanted. Thus, there was an obvious need for government – legitimate, just government to carry out two main functions: (1) protecting free people from foreign enemies and invaders; (2) protecting honest, self-responsible, hard-working citizens within the nation from domestic lawbreakers who would use coercion, fraud, or force to deprive others of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Donald Trump's goal is to RULE THE WORLD not LEAD OUR COUNTRY. This is one of the biggest ego trips I've ever witnessed. If our country wasn't so deeply rooted in RACISM he never would have made it passed his PRESIDENTIAL announcement. But here we are over a year later and this Sociopath is still here, embarrassing us all.
The Green Party of the United States is a federation of state Green Parties. Committed to environmentalism, non-violence, social justice and grassroots organizing, Greens are renewing democracy without the support of corporate donors.
An independent or nonpartisan politician is an individual politician not affiliated to any political party. There are numerous reasons why someone may stand for office as an independent. Independents may support policies which are different from those of the major political parties
Liberals believe in government action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all. It is the duty of the government to alleviate social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights. Believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need.
One of the differences between democrats and republicans lies in their views towards social issues. The Republicans tend to be conservative on social issues. They tend to oppose gay marriage and promote marriage being between a man and a woman. They also oppose abortion and promote the right of gun ownership.

Libertarianism (Latin: liber, "free") is a collection of political philosophies that uphold liberty as their principal objective. Libertarians seek to maximize autonomy and freedom of choice, emphasizing political freedom, voluntary association, and the primacy of individual judgment.
As shown above we have quite a few different parties with different views on how our Country should be ran. However I'm thinking it's time to become one party AMERICANS
This next statement is going to hurt to say but.. Ted Cruz was right "VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE" ugh!

Yes Finally!!! What a proud and monumental moment to see our first WOMAN Presidential Nominee ever!!! I must say it brought tears to my eyes, for more than one reason that is.
Firstly watching a man that I have grown to LOVE, ADMIRE, TRUST and gave me a great sense of PRIDE will soon be leaving the White House.
Secondly as the 1st BLACK PRESIDENT passed the baton to Our First Woman to get the nomination was very over-whelming..
With those thoughts now out of the way let me peel away the layers of HILLARY CLINTON I have found inspiring and hopeful. Before going any further let me start by saying NO ONE is perfect. That would include all races, religions, genders and professions. I just can't wrap my head around WHY ONLY HILLARY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE?. The fact that her critics claim she can't be trusted and always choose to ignore her lifetime of service. I am not naive enough to think a life long politician should not have a few things they in hind sight would change. Now about this FAKE attack that Hillary is an abuser of women is a myth made up by the right. I was a grown ass woman at the time of Bill's escapades in the 90's and that's when I decided HILLARY handled being mocked, disrespected and publicly humiliated by actions of others, lead with GRACE and STRENGTH. (side note: LADYSWAY = like a palm tree in a storm I might sway and bend but never break) That's Hillary Clinton
Now I know this statement is going to upset a some of you, but I'm a realist and believe this to be true. There are plenty of women, not all or many but a few who believe the POWER IS THEIR PU**Y rather than THEIR BRAIN. Meaning they chase Famous or Powerful men with the hope of landing him. Once ignored the feeling of assault seems to take over. Now don't misunderstand me yes, Bill was the President and should have been above this behavior but he wasn't. How is this Hillary's fault? Why is Sally Miller not held accountable for sleeping with a married man? Truth be told most women would have kicked her ass. Now this 3 times married buffoon with rape allegations and lets not forget his 3 upcoming court dates is qualified to question Hillary's character?
Here's my take. I've been approached, flirted with and sexually harassed throughout my life. With that said I have NEVER gone with it to complain later. The complaint should come before the action and in the case of Sally Miller she was having an affair with a known married man, how is she the victim? Sorry let's let that go or place blame where it belongs.
She has worked tirelessly against the grain to better the lives of many and I don't get this BULLSHIT that she is the worse person ever. However I know that strong women make weak men crumble and fall.
Oh and I'm going to suggest that the GOP should push education more in their platform rather than accepting peoples ignorance. Even though I get why they don't. How else can you blidly lead people to fight a fake battle. If they were independent thinkers this BENGAZI would be over. These idiots have ran an entire campaign on this topic. Now an intelligent person would realize that sadly attacks happen and if investigated to no avail would let it go. Not these dim-wits. Why I say this? Well here's a list I found on International Business Times of past Embassy Attacks and look no Hillary. NOW WHAT?
Tuesday's attack at the U.S. embassy inCairo, Egypt was nothing new for American envoys and their staffs.
Throughout the years U.S. embassies all over the world have been targets of protests and violence by terrorist groups and discontented citizens trying to make a point, or just generally cause chaos and mayhem. Here is a list of such incidents stretching back almost fifty years.
Libreville, Gabon, March 5 and 8, 1964,: After a failed coup d'etat two weeks prior, the U.S. embassy began receiving threatening phone calls. At 8:15 pm on March 5, a small bomb exploded outside the empty embassy, cracking a few windows. On the evening of March 8, another small bomb exploded 50 feet from the embassy, causing no damage, and a drive-by shooting damaged an out wall. No one was hurt.
Saigon, Vietnam, January 31, 1968: Shortly after midnight on January 31, small group of Viet Cong fighters blasted a hole in the wall of the U.S. Embassy and engaged marines at the embassy in a firefight. By 9 am, the embassy was declared secure. The U.S. had been involved in the conflict in Vietnam for 2 and half years already at the time, and the incident was deeply unsettling to American interests in Vietnam.
Tehran, Iran, November 4, 1979: The attack that came to be known as the 'Iran Hostage Crisis' began at 6:30 am the morning of November 4, when a few hundred Iranian students called the "Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line" cut the fence to the U.S. embassy and broke through the gates. They initially intended only to make a symbolic occupation, but after the Ayatollah Khomeini expressed his support, and crowds outside the embassy cheered the students on, the occupation's goals changed. The hostages were held for 444 days, until January 20, 1981. A disastrous attempted rescue operation resulted in the deaths of 8 American servicemen and one Iranian civilian. The 52 hostages were released almost immediately after Ronald Regan was sworn into office.
Islamabad, Pakistan, November 22, 1979: Sparked by a report that the U.S. had bombed one of the holiest sites in the Muslim world, the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, a group of Pakistani students stormed the embassy and burned it down. The radio report turned out to be false: a Saudi Arabian had led a seizure of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, two days earlier and took hundreds of people there for their pilgrimage hostage. Ayatollah Khomeini claimed that the U.S. was behind the attack.
Tripoli, Libya, December 2, 1979: The U.S. embassy was burned in retaliation for the supposed U.S.-led takeover of the Grand Mosque in Mecca. After the attack, all U.S. personnel were pulled out of Libya. The U.S. did not re-instate its diplomats in Libya until 2004.
Beirut, Lebanon, April 18, 1983: A suicide car bomb killed 63 people, including members of the U.S. embassy and CIA. The attack happened just after the Western-led Multinational Force had decided to intervene in the Lebanese Civil War. The Islamic Jihadist Organization took responsibility, saying, "This is part of the Iranian revolution's campaign against imperialist targets throughout the world. We shall keep striking at any imperialist presence in Lebanon, including the international force."
Kuwait City, Kuwait, December 12, 1983: A truck rammed into the front gates of the U.S. embassy and exploded, killing five people. The U.S. embassy was one of several targets hit that day, including the French embassy and the Kuwait International Airport.
Jakarta, Indonesia, May 1986: The Japanese Red Army fired on the Japanese, Canadian, and U.S. embassies. The Red Army's goals included overthrowing the Japanese government and starting a world revolution.
Rome, Italy, June 1987: The Japanese Red Army again fired on the U.S. and British embassies in Rome.
Lima, Peru, January 15, 1990: The Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, a left-wing insurgent group, bombed the U.S. embassy.
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya, August 7, 1998: The bombings of these two embassies brought the name "Osama Bin Laden" to Americans' lips for the first time. The bombings resulted in over 4,000 people injured and 223 dead. The bombings are believed to have been a retaliatory move for the arrest and torture of four members of the Al-Qaeda affiliate, The Egyptian Islamist Jihad.
Paris, France, September 13, 2001: Four men were arrested in Rotterdam on conspiracy to plant a suicide bomber in the U.S. embassy in Paris. The NATO headquarters in Brussels was also targeted. The plot was discovered in July 2001 when a conspirator named Djamel Beghal was arrested in Dubai for passport fraud. He confessed after an interrogation. All the conspirators were part of a small satellite of Al-Qaeda.
Karachi, Pakistan, June 14, 2002, February 28, 2003, March 15, 2004, and March 2, 2006:The string of bombings and attempted bombings outside the U.S. consult in Karachi were thought to be in retaliation for the War on Terror in Afghanistan, and later Iraq. The first bomb in June 2002 was a suicide bomber, who killed 12 and injured 51 people. In February 2003, a gunman killed two police officer and injured five others outside the consulate. In March 2004, an attempted bombing was stopped when police discovered 200 gallons of liquid explosives in the back of a truck. In March 2006, another suicide bomber killed six people outside a nearby Marriott Hotel.
Tashkent, Uzbekistan, July 30, 2004: The U.S. and Israeli embassies were targeted by suicide bombers. Two security guards were killed.
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, December 6, 2004: Militants breached the outer wall of the U.S. consulate and began shooting, but did not enter the consulate. Five civilians and the gunmen were killed. Ten people were wounded.
Damascus, Syria, September 12, 2006: Three gunmen were killed after they tossed grenades over the embassy's outer wall and a car bomb exploded outside the embassy. A Syrian security guard and a Chinese diplomat also died.
Athens, Greece, January 12, 2007: A rocket-propelled grenade was fired into the front of the U.S. embassy around 6 am in the morning. No one was killed or hurt. A Greek terrorist group called "Revolutionary Struggle" claimed responsibility.
Istanbul, Turkey, July 9, 2008: Kurdish Turks open fired around 11 am, killing six people and injuring one. The three men had suspected Al-Qaeda links, but this was never proven.
San'a, Yemen, September 7, 2008: 19 people died and at least 16 were injured when a group of men disguised at police attacked the outer security rim of the U.S. embassy. Al-Qaeda affiliate Islamic Jihad of Yemen claimed responsibility.

Donald Trump Tells Thomas Roberts (msnbc) About His Relationship With Putin Back In 2013. Only an idiot would follow this deranged power hungry, greedy sociopath. I've never in all my 50 years seen such a large group of people follow an EGOMANIAC (dictators)other than in the history books, especially not one in the making. I must it's scary to watch. His flock being led to slaughter, puts me in the mind of Jim Jones and we know how that ended. This a good example as to why Democrats and Liberals are now demonized as Elitist Because we refuse to be swindled, manipulated or tricked by someone who BLATANTLY LIES. I'm no Psychiatrist but I do believe he is a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR who also is a Sociopath. Don't believe me? Then you listen to these symptoms and you tell me.

Here I sit watching the Chaos at the Democratic Convention and it is heart breaking. As I look at the Bernie or bust supporters actually looking more like Trump supporters. Wondering why Bernie ran as a Democrat in the first place if for the past 40 years he wasn't.
As a Black woman from Brooklyn, NY I'm insulted that Bernie who was born and raised here (Diverse Community) chose to move to Vermont predominantly all white (demographics) state then claiming he's more for all people than Hillary. So he comes into the race as a disturber who I barely heard from until the year before this campaign cycle. So for him to come in and give the Republicans ammunition against Hillary is sad. But enough about my opinion on Bernie.
Now to my point. We as Dems continue to allow the Right to create who we are. Meaningwecontinue with this "WE ARE BETTER THAN THAT" response and attitudes.
My first example will be Trump. Each person that he faced during the primaries he blew by just by simply name calling, insults, redirections and acusations. NEVER did he speak to policy or government. All He ever said was what was wrong with this guy, that guy, media, Obama but NEVER about or what he will do to change it. But his supporters seemed to prefer the bluster than ideas or plans. Hence the copycat chants. "Lyin Ted" "Low Energy Jeb" "Little Marco Rubio" "Who Would Vote For That Face" "Crooked Hillary" "Lock Her Up" etc etc etc.
Every Trump InsultBest of Donald Trump
How Donald Trump Answers Questions The Worst Answers In a Debate Without thought or investigation Trump supporters follow like sheep. Oh.. And when did we become the Elitist party? Wasn't the argument that we supported the 47% last election cycle? Once the Republicans realized that was the thing that stopped Romney, so history was rewritten? I watch THE RNC CONVENTION last, including Donald's speech. The part that stood out to me the most was how much he sounded more like a Democrat than a Republican. Now my concern and fear was that his sheep/ flock followed along without actually listening. here's why I say that. Now Everyone Is invited even though their policies says otherwise
LGBTQ
Women
Mexicans
Blacks Lives Matter
Middle Class
My point is TRUMP has no true policies, his stance changes with every POLL, MEDIA COVERAGE or His Personal Missteps. Hence why he sounded like a Democrat when in reality it;\'s just a smoke screen to bring in those on the fence. However he has no intention on following. Democrats (Progressives) think things through, Don't be sheep, understand that this man is using you as he did with republicans. It should take more than a sound bite and please stop focusing on only one issue. Look at the bigger picture and stop being used by Donald Trump. And yes I'm going to say this: If you are determined to stand in the way of the DEMOCRATS platform than do yourself and us a favor, register as INDEPENDENTS as BERNIE SANDERS was for the past decades. WHY SHOULD WE ALLOW YOU OR BERNIE TO HIJACK OUR PARTY LIKE TRUMP DID TO THE REPUBLIC PARTY.

How Donald Trump Answers Questions The Worst Answers In a Debate
Without thought or investigation Trump supporters follow like sheep.
Oh.. And when did we become the Elitist party? Wasn't the argument that we supported the 47% last election cycle? Once the Republicans realized that was the thing that stopped Romney, so history was rewritten?
I watch THE RNC CONVENTION last, including Donald's speech. The part that stood out to me the most was how much he sounded more like a Democrat than a Republican. Now my concern and fear was that his sheep/ flock followed along without actually listening.
here's why I say that.
Now Everyone Is invited even though their policies says otherwise
LGBTQ
Women
Mexicans
Blacks Lives Matter
Middle Class
My point is TRUMP has no true policies, his stance changes with every POLL, MEDIA COVERAGE or His Personal Missteps. Hence why he sounded like a Democrat when in reality it;\'s just a smoke screen to bring in those on the fence. However he has no intention on following. Democrats (Progressives) think things through, Don't be sheep, understand that this man is using you as he did with republicans. It should take more than a sound bite and please stop focusing on only one issue. Look at the bigger picture and stop being used by Donald Trump. And yes I'm going to say this: If you are determined to stand in the way of the DEMOCRATS platform than do yourself and us a favor, register as INDEPENDENTS as BERNIE SANDERS was for the past decades. WHY SHOULD WE ALLOW YOU OR BERNIE TO HIJACK OUR PARTY LIKE TRUMP DID TO THE REPUBLIC PARTY.
Yes I know it's been a few years but here I am. I had to revive this blog after witnessing the last 2 1/2 years events. Particularly since the 2016 Presidential Election race has been more emotional than any I can recall, including President Obama's Election.
Who knew there was untapped racism since our first BLACK PRESIDENT took office. As like many I can't stay quiet, rather than trolling others on TWITTER or FACEBOOK of opposite opinions I decided to say out right how I feel. Those feelings include embarrassment, fear, anxiety, hope and confusion. I will explain each of those emotions as time goes by. My biggest concern is the lack of honest information/ the lack of curiosity for the actual truth. That many voters are simply just sheep and solely driven by hate instead of ideas.
