Kushner Blames Assistant
Scapegoating in the White House is apparently contagious. New headline: Kushner blames his assistant for hitting the “send” button too soon. Hmm. There’s a problem or two with that scenario. Kushner’s comment makes no sense – at all – because… 1) you would not be filling out a form via email, therefore no “send” button. […]
MoreThe Disrespect of Senator Kamala Harris
The disrespect of Senator Kamala Harris during hearings in recent days reminds us that we are not as civilized a society as some would like to believe. This type of disrespect, especially to someone with such an impressive background, simply wreaks of prejudice and entitlement. If that were not the case, then you would see […]
MoreHow the Rich and Famous are Voting
This election year has been one of the most interesting, and most controversial election years of my life. The politicians and their supporters are confused, angry, and sometimes downright ignorant. The lies and accusations are tossed around easier than a salad. This political circus has served to inspire many questions for me, not all of […]
MoreI Began My Voting Life as a Republican
Are you a Democrat? An Independent? A Republican? Have you ever changed your party affiliation? More often than not, people become affiliated with a political party based on their heritage (in my experience). It’s a family tradition. Even suggesting that someone vote differently than their parents can start an argument. (Now I was born and […]
MoreHugs – Campaign 2016
As I watch our presidential candidates eagerly campaigning for primary votes, I listen for their words of love as well as their words of wisdom, leadership and strength. I look for signs of love for their fellow country men and women. I keep my eyes open to see which of them actually hugs people with […]
MoreFeelthebern
I watched the debate last night and today heard some good news. More than 10 million viewers tuned in to watch the Democratic Debate last night and it was a substantial debate. So many of us are refreshed as we #feelthebern and many democrats and independents are desperately hoping that Bernie Sanders can pull out […]
MoreThou Shalt Not Make Broad Generalizations
Earlier this week, Ari Fleisher was on Anderson Cooper’s show on CNN. It was a fairly interesting exchange regarding current politics, but one of his comments has stuck with me so I decided to vent about it here. By no means is he the only person that has made broad generalization statements that mislead the […]
MoreCharacter in a Presidential Candidate
I’m not so proud of many things I did as a young person, but I can honestly say that I never intentionally hurt anyone, physically or otherwise. Mitt Romney’s “hijinks” (as he calls them) as a senior in his “prep” high school which involved holding a gay boy down and cutting his hair, seem to […]
MorePolice REFUSE to arrest occupy protesters
On Sunday, October 23, 2011, the law enforcement officers of Albany, New York, made a startling decision to IGNORE the requests of their mayor and governor. Finally, sanity prevails. With protesters acting peacefully, local and state police agreed that low level arrests could cause a riot, so they decided instead to defy Cuomo and Jennings. […]
