International Women’s Day

Submitted by ub on

Women have changed the world and it is time to man up to show our respect and let them know that we are lost without them.

To all strong and intelligent women everywhere on earth, may the world learn to love and respect you, always. These women in my life inspire me Maria Teresa, Caridad, Margarita, Yirong, Maria, Natasha, Elena, Chloe, Sophia, Sabrina, Olivia... etc.

International Women’s Day pays tribute to the wave of activism with the recurring theme #PressforProgress

The push for gender equality worldwide is a global celebration of the achievements of women worldwide.

Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero, who was gunned down in March of 1980 will finally be canonized and become a Saint in the Catholic Church.

During the terrible time, I covered the bloody civil war, I can name no one else who deserves this honor. The Reverend Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez was a special man of the cloth in El Salvador, who served as the fourth Archbishop of the Capital San Salvador. He knew he had a target on his back and felt abandoned.

Become A Giver

The more we give, the more we get. This is a simple and easy rule to follow provides a wealth of possible ideas.

The tricky thing about giving advice is the need for a wake-up call. A smack in the back of the head or punch in the gut.

Sometimes this is what helps us get to the next level. And the advice-giver has to guess which will help, each time.

However, being generous really does make all of us much happier http://ti.me/2u83Ris

Politics Imitating Pop Art

This ain't no party, no disco, or reality TV Show. This is real life and is now affecting the lives of all Americans and the future of the greatest nation on earth.

Politics is an expression of power relationships. Conversely, the act of imitation reflects the power of an image or its economic or social attributes over the imitator. Imitation is at the heart of much art. It may be driven by various impulses. The love of beauty, peer pressure, adoration, even forgery or the most popular money.

Perfection of Dereliction?

Submitted by ub on

He promised anyone who would listen that he would hire the best people. Is he kidding or does he assume all Americans are stupid? He also said the US would get tired of winning. He was half right, we are all very tired.

Why has he praised Putin and Xi, but attacked Rerpublicsn, Democrats, and his hand-picked cabinet members?
Conspicuously absent from POTUS many statements are any proof about all the Americans who might benefit. http://over.doseofnews.com/

Winter Whammy

Submitted by ub on

This is a fair weather warning of an event with a powerful and unpleasant blow that will bring winds and plenty of snow. Oh no, say it ain't so?

Another extremely powerful Nor'easter is rumbling across the central US bringing heavy snow and blizzard conditions to the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest and elevated to critical fire weather conditions across the rest of the plains.

There is an elevated fire weather risk in southwest California. Another coastal low will impact the Middle Atlantic and New England with heavy snow, gusty winds, and coastal flooding.

The phrase says don't mess with Texas and everything is bigger in the Longhorn State as its fixing to hold the nation’s first primary election of 2018.

Early voting turnout has GOP weary and worried. Democratic turnout for the 2018 midterm primaries in the state's 15 largest counties was twice as high as the totals in 2014, outstripping the Republicans in urban counties in the GOP stronghold.

USA Trade Trap

Submitted by ub on

Whatever happened to the artful deal? Who claimed to be a star negotiator? Why does @POTUS like trade wars and is reportedly planning to impose up to 25% tariffs on imported steel and 10% on aluminum as his attempt to save US industry?

Tariffs may bring instant cheers but stoke industry full of fears of trade wars this year, rising costs and layoffs across #USA.

The fear is that it could raise costs on everything from airplanes to beer cans. The wider worry is the potential for retaliatory measures by other countries that could hurt exports and jobs.

'This is Me' Anthem

Submitted by ub on

I am not a stranger to the dark
Hideaway, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Runaway, they say
No one'll love you as you are
But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Gridiron Dinner

POTUS went along for the ride with movers and shakers of the mainstream media he lashes out against at Washington’s annual Gridiron dinner last night.

A white-tie gala is the type of event he's shunned since taking office. But what was supposed to be a good-natured bread-breaking between the president and press could become a flashpoint if Trump, who has labeled reporters “fake news” and the enemies of the American people. His jokes may have rung true saying ‘I like chaos’
