3 MILLION OF US

Submitted by Admin on

The US is a multicultural melting pot comprised of people who make up an international salad of world languages. The final figures indicate that over 3 million registered voters cast more ballots for other candidates who were also running for president and not Donald Trump, making him the least popular president-elect in history.

The data is clear and figures are right here. The Donald does not appear to have a mandate, no matter how many times he repeats it and continues to say it. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/trump_favorableunfavorabl…

TV or Not TV?

While every US Intelligence agency report points to Vladimir Putin and his Russian hackers as the culprits of a government-sponsored cyber campaign to help The Donald, he seems to be concerned with Arnold Schwarzenegger's ability to attract eyeballs.

Why is it that as American democracy suffers a grave assault, PEOTUS is overly concerned about Celebrity Apprentice TV ratings? http://entertainment.doseofnews.com/

Narcissist or Egomaniac?

We all start out as narcissistic babies and as we grow up we progress in our personal development we outgrow our narcissism.

Although there are important differences, sometimes it is difficult to distinguish a high-functioning narcissist from an egomaniac. The two are interrelated. Every narcissist has a big ego but not every person with a big ego is a narcissist.

BILL THE WALL TO US?

Submitted by Admin on

Tweeting that the dishonest media does not report any money spent on building the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later, but not offering any proof or details on how he will accomplish it. Some may wonder who is really being dishonest?

It appears that it is much easier to make statements one day and then different the next day. The Donald has said that he knows more than others and points fingers but it is more difficult to explain in detail the specifics than to make general comments like -Lock Her Up, Repeal and Replace Mexico Will Pay for The Wall and so many others, but never following up with specific facts, or data.

EPIPHANY * 3 KINGS

Our family celebrated Christmas and then it was Three Wise Kings Day. It's the Christian holiday commemorated on January 6, falling on the twelfth day after Christmas, and for some denominations, including #Latinos and #Hispanics signals the conclusion of the Christmas season. The 12 days between Christmas and Epiphany are known as the “Twelve Days of Christmas.” The three wise king brought baby Jesus the gifts of Love... Frankincense, Gold, and Myhr.

Frightening Skies

Friendly skies, not so much... Let's face it, Christmas and new years are the best time to be with our family and friends but it is also the busiest travel time of the year. The family part was delightful and I was pleasantly pleased to see Olivia, Parker, Sophia, Chloe, and Elena as well as their dogs so well behaved and I must give credit to Natasha and Sabrina for this.

But since today is the last of the peak travel days during what was most certainly the busiest year ever for air travel in the US and I am finally back home, I have decided to share some of my observations.

PUSSYHAT PROJECT

Submitted by Admin on

American women will begin to wear pink knitted ‘Pussy Power Hats’ as a way to protest Trump's vulgar comments.

These women all across this great country are planning to festoon themselves during a march on Washington, DC, which is scheduled for January 21, the day after Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration.

These hats are an obvious reference to Trump’s notorious “grab them by the pussy” statements.

Marist Manuevers

Brother, can you spare a band? On what should be a happy 200th-anniversary celebration for The Marist brothers, the organization has become involved in a political controversy that neither Saint Marcellin Champagnat, founder of the Marist Brothers nor the folks at The Marist Poll could have possibly predicted.

As a former distinguished visiting professor and a faculty member there, I can say that Marist has some notable alums like Fox News' Bill O'Rielly, but not The Donald. The question which begs to be asked is why is Trump's alma matter not marching at his own inaugural?

Russian Payback?

President Obama threw Russian spies out of the US. As payback, Russian hackers could have taken down the US Customs computer system on the busiest travel day of the year causing them to go manual.

All as a cover to a fresh team of spies arrival at US airports slipped thru the system to do their tasks in the US just as undocumented people instead of known Foreign Diplomats.

Using Internet connections in the US instead of foreign IP addresses which would easier to trace and harder to filter out. Trump did say something about the hacking would soon be coming to light.

Challenging Government

Submitted by Admin on

Civil disobedience has been an important part of the fabric of this country and a key to social change from the earliest days of the country’s development, through the Vietnam War protests, to the work of the civil rights movement and beyond.

As a new administration is set to begin its work within a divided country, acts of civil disobedience are on the horizon – some being organized now to be held before, during and after the inauguration of President Trump.
