Dear Liberals and Democrats

I reactivated this blog to share my thoughts on a multitude of topics, however it seems as though I am stuck on this crazy ass election. The reason for being stuck is I'm afraid. I'm very afraid! The thought that Trump might be our next President is frightening for me.

 What Part did the media play in the rise of Trump:

I'm going to say regurgitating the myth that Trump has a large base because a part of America were left out during Obama's Presidency (Blue Collared and Poor White People) But is that really the case? Could it be that the GOP to whom they voted for did nothing for them for 7 1/2 years but stop government and solely focused on ruining Obama's legacy. Not working for them ever. And the other half are a bunch of racist who have been following Trump since he ignited the BIRTHER movement.

How about My President Obama was left with the worst financial disaster since the GREAT
 DEPRESSION that took 8 cause. But once again the Media allows the RIGHT / GOP to continue this BULLSHIT that he didn't have any accomplishments.


Remember Trump loves the uneducated! I think that says a lot about Svengali like approach to his candidacy. 


This man is so vindictive, greedy, selfish, stupid, bombastic, racist, misogynistic and unread. Let me also add he can't relate to the middle class or the poor, which is the larger population in this country.

This man has proven that he has no empathy nor sympathy for no one. The fact that he has lied his entire campaign is mind boggling, that he is barely challenged by journalist / reporters. I'm very sadden that our News Media rather give Trump free advertising than hold him to the fire.


Then: Complete ban on Muslims ~  Now: We love our immigrants
Then:  I'm Building a Wall ~  Now: "There could certainly be a softening"
Then:  Mexicans are rapist/ murderers ~ Now: I Love the Hispanics
Then: I'm funding my own campaign ~ Now: Please donate
Then: Make America Great Again ~ Now: White supremacist running campaign
Then: Where's my Black? ~ Now: White supremacist running campaign
Then: I'm not in with Special Interest  ~ Now: Owes Goldman Sachs
Then: China to uphold intellectual property laws ~ Now: Owes China Billions of Dollars
Then: Crooked Hillary ~ Now: Many open court cases of his own

You get where I'm going with this. Why as Liberals / Democrats do we not fight back rather than be on Defense it's time to go on Offense!! When are we going to zero in on TRUMP's life, business practices and his finances. What about all of the open legal cases and court dates he is involved in.

We never hear the News Media investigate any of his past issues. They will pretend to do so but it is so obvious they only want the booking not the truth. I've never seen an entire group of people (Trump Surrogates) NEVER HAVE TO ANSWER A QUESTION. They redirect, yell, lash out or blatantly lie.

 However on the flip side Hillary Surrogates always approach the question as We're above the fray, but why? This fight is getting dirty. The Trump campaign has RUSSIA, WIKILEAKS, MSNBC, FOX NEWS, CNN and the White Supremacist Groups, THE FBI and CONGRESS fighting his fight.

WHO IS FIGHTING FOR US?


The fact that Donald Trump continues to get free advertising from TV MEDIA is sickening. If we get stuck with this Misogynistic, Racist, Mentally Ill, Money Grubbing Mad Man we have the TV NEWS Media to thank.

Why do I say this? Just take a look at any cable news show. Donald's sounds bites, no matter how delusional or erratic they are played on a loop. Then in between showings of his sound bites they then have a 3 day discussion over that one statement. Or when Trump attacks Hillary with no bases in reality no one forces his team to respond, just redirect.

Now here we are discussing Bill and Hillary's CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE. You know why? Because DONALD SAID WE SHOULD.


Donald: Hillary is Crooked, Sick, Liar, Thief, Soft on Crime, Weak on Terrorist, Racist, Playing the Woman Card, Attacked Women, Not a Leader, .


Now let's break it down:

Real Estate mogul who has never been in politics call another weak (where's his record on toughness)

Real Estate mogul who has been named in rape, discrimination and lack of payment cases (Crook Behavior) Open court cases and court dates

Real Estate mogul has been found that 79% of what comes out of his mouth is a lie (No one never uses that as a come back)

Real Estate mogul sends out a fake Doctor's report on his health

Real Estate mogul wants to make police states in African American neighborhoods (because he thinks we don't count and are animals the Birther guy hates blacks)

Real Estate mogul clogs courts with stupid lawsuits to keep from paying his debts before he dies.

Real Estate mogul has used all donations to pay his own COMPANIES (so why does he claim she used politics to make money)

Real Estate mogul is losing on his white only platform now placating to African Americans and Hispanics (why play this BS on a loop)

Real Estate mogul has tried everything from selling steaks to Presidency ( Just searching for the next pay day)

Real Estate mogul has built his properties in places where he is not wanted (Uses court system to build anyway)

Real Estate mogul refuses to be transparent. He has closed cases from the public, no taxes, no donations, where's his off shore accounts, when will he bring his manufacturing to the US, why did he pay woman in rape case etc...

Real Estate mogul won't nail down a debate date (No scripts can be used)

Real Estate mogul focused on immigrants when his mother was one and 2 of his 3 wives

Real Estate mogul doesn't understand foreign policies 

Not sure why none of these things are talked about on TV NEWS MEDIA shows (and I don't mean the 2 statements in the day on these topics in comparison of the 24/7 Trump sound bite loops.



 Liberals / Democrats it's time to take off the GLOVES OFF. We have truth and facts on our side, use them. Stop being polite, patient and laid back! Force these News people to hear your points. Stop with the defensive arguments and start OFFENSE too much info to ignore!

Example: Strengthen our negotiating position by lowering our corporate tax rate to keep American companies and jobs here at home. ( How the hell has this been allowed to go unchallenged)


Instead of allowing the media to keep reporting on Donald's PIVOTS, call it what it is ERRATIC and Desperate Behavior (KING OF FLIP FLOPPING)



Lastly where are our tech savvy crews. Since it's the season of HACKING when will TRUMP get hacked? I'm sure there is some juicy stuff there to expose. The closest thing we have to investigative journalism is only coming from print reporters. They need help hats off to Washington Post

The Next President of The UNITED STATES.. You Go Girl!!!

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?

                                                          Photo and article found here

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 in Cairo, 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.

If Being An Elitist Means I Don't Fall For Donald Trump's BS.. then so be it

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.

Don't forget he loves the uneducated

C'mon Democrats.. We're Better Than This





 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. Meaning we continue 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 Insult                                  Best 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.

Guess Who's Back??

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.

Getting Ready for a New: Change for 2009

I don't usually believe in New Year's Resolutions but have to say I am really pumped to start. I haven't spoken on the election since I abandoned this blog for a while. GO! OBAMA! I was so intrigued with this year's election like never before. It made me realize that our country i in need of drastic changes and what better way to start then with the first black president. Someone who has been in the trenches for most of his career, as well as his Vice President. That's what our country is in dier need of, an administration that isn't so far removed from everyday people.

With this new president coming into office it really began to give me a boost of hope as well as doing some self evaluation. I have come to the conclusion that my life is spiraling out of control: neglecting my health, gaining over 40 lbs., over spending and lack of motivation. So like Obama said the government can only do but so much we as Americans need to take responsibilty for our lives. And that's what I'm going to do! So, here I am ready to start my "New Year's Resolution"...I've let so much go that I have to actully sit down a create a plan as not to overwhelm myself. Here's my list of things I would like to accomplish this upcoming year:
  • Loose weight (40 lbs.)
  • Become more disciplined
  • Get my health in order
  • Get more intuned with my spiritality
  • Start my own business
  • Take control of my finances
  • Volunteer more.
Not exactly in this order, I do know that "Discipline" needs to be my starting point. So wish me luck, this is crucial to my well being...And I am determined to make it work. That's it for now gotta get ready for work..talk to you later.
