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?

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.

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.

Doctor's Are Big Business

Today I had to see the Doctor so that she could and would write another prescription for my high blood pressure. I have to say I was totally disturbed and angered by the way she seemed to have held my prescription hostage so that I would have to pay for a visit. Let me back up to 2 weeks ago when I discovered that I no longer had refills left after speaking with the Pharmacist. I called my Doctor who has this very strange office manager that answered the phone. I started by asking if the Doctor would call in my prescription because I am almost out of medication. He replied with, you probably will have to come in to see her. I explained that my partner has been laid off and my hours cut so I don't have money for a visit plus my co-pay for the prescription. Let me add this was the week of paying rent so you know I was broke. He said let me call her and then I'll call you back. The call back really annoyed me because he claimed I must make an appointment in order to get this prescription. For the record I have been on this medication for almost ten years so what's changed all of a sudden. After going back and forth with him (office manager) I finally agreed to come in on the next available opening which was a week later. Needless to say as predicted I did not have the money for the visit. So I wasn't able to go.
Fast foward to today, I'm waiting to see the Doctor and her nurse did not know how to work this new fangled blood pressure equipment. The nurse finally gave up and resorted to the old reliable way of getting a blood pressure reading. And yes it was high. In walks the Doctor saying she hears that I am going through some financial difficulties and that it's bad every where. Something I don't need or want to hear from a dDoctor with a practice in Mid-Town Manhattan and a full waiting room. She took her stethascope and listened to my lungs and checked my neck and that was the end of this medical visit. She said she was writing me a presciption for six months but that she would like to see me once a month to monitor my pressure. For what I asked if everything is status quo. Just to be sure evrything is going smoothly. Do I look like I have extra money to give to her so that she can tell me evrything is going smoothly?
I go out to the waiting room to wait for the presciptions and her Office Manager is trying to set up an appointment for next month, the he says "You have two missed appointment charges that we need to make payment plan for" I lost my mind on him! Take my name off of that appointment and I'm not paying anything! I said. Our last conversation we spoke for almost 20 minutes as I tried to explain to you that I most likely would not have the funds for a visit plus medication so that was a chance you you took. And I'm not paying for something you damn near black mailed me into agreeing to. I took my presciptions and left. Maybe it's me but why does a Doctor feel that they have the right to play with my health and finances so that they can bill my insurance company. She didn't run test, not even an extensive check up so what the hell did I have to come in for? To insult to injury you want charge me monthly so that you can say everything is ok? Not me.
