2023 – Is Summer Over Yet?


 

Just another rant

Summer is over

It’s a call to action after hearing the volume on stupid being turned up about as high, if not more, than any real American should have to put up with. We in the Democratic Party helped President Obama give Tea Publicans the boot in 2012. Now, It is up to the 81 Million plus to end the insane behavior of the Republican branches including Tea-Publicans, Freedom Caucus, and MAGARs on both the State and Federal levels. The Democratic Party in this 21st Century may disagree with each other. Still, WE need to stop the madness instead of beating up on each other and the President, get on the same page, do the people’s business, and make sure voters know that the new Republican Party, aka the MAGARs, have done nothing but run both Chambers of Congress into the ground.  If you are keeping up with what is going on in the House of Representatives, which seems to be about legislating against their own government. They must have met and decided that making it more difficult for the President would give them an edge and hope that Americans are stupid enough to think this is the American Way. FYI, it is not. We, as voters, see that working for progress has been replaced with revenge and some engage in inciting violence.  In addition, unless you have been living under a rock the President’s efforts to move the Country into the 21st Century for better standing, or status are slow if not next to nil. We must not forget when Rep. McConnell said, that his job is to make President Obama a One-Term President, which is also what most MAGARs push when they get the media to pay them attention, false impeachment reports, or use Hunter to hurt President Biden.

This man has wanted to be POTUS since he was a kid and has studied the job, changed, and evolved over time. President Biden is the epitome of the average Joe voter who with the help of friends and family pulled himself up by the bootstraps even while facing loss, pain, and hate. The Media hasn’t made the effort to give airtime to the good or great things that #BidenHarrisAdmin have done, their focus is on the extreme right and some feel they have given them a platform to pass on disinformation to poorly informed voters.  While that is not lost on us, and yes controversy is good for ratings, we the people must make sure that “the media” fact-checks the extremist candidates who seem to be spewing lies, and not only about the Biden family but the current state of our democracy which is definitely at risk, but it’s due to the possibility of an Authoritarian wannabe such as trump, and btfw we the people don’t want that as a U.S. President. The media continually points out the problems for D’s and treats some Rs as if they are not only privileged but more interesting to talk to. There are quite a few controversial possibly misinformed right-leaning politicians from the MAGARs Party running for office in various states who are not just unqualified but exhibit nutty behavior and that might be interesting fodder for the media, but they should not be allowed to hold prestigious positions of power in Congress on the state or federal level.

Reminder…

This is not the year of the Woman, but who can be the most discriminatory or racist then add in Women have no right to make their own decisions when it comes to abortion…  The fact is that a lot of women in the Republican Party are against the right to choose, which, if we listen, means giving up Autonomy; well the definition of Autonomy is as follows, and like we all know Words matter right.

So, read what errian-Webster.com says  …

The Origin of Autonomy

1)the quality or state of being self-governing, especially :

 the right of self-government

The territory was granted autonomy.

2self-directing freedom and especially moral independence
personal autonomy

3a self-governing state

Most, if not all conservative evangelical, Christians are against gays and some feel women in the Military is definitely a no no. To say these conservative family values are against the way real families live their lives is like saying we don’t have noses on our faces. They are folks who live different lives than the rest of us, and they intend to push their personal ideologies on Americans and continue to legislate them as well. En masse … Voters deserve and need to demand the freedom some on the right believe the 2nd Amendment gives them… the difference between having Autonomy means many things … Vs what an AR15 can do to families.

I certainly didn’t imagine having these kinds of people in Congress, let alone vying for the position of President. Yet, they seem far worse than anyone believed and IMO probably why paul ryan fled, now, reports are that he is seemingly all in.  We must all GOTV against a group of social conservatives that obviously are not our parents’ conservative opponents who may not share the Democratic view but, were able to come together to solve a lot of our country’s problems as Americans, putting party affiliation aside. Republicans, have taken risks since the midterm elections and are now setting their sights on the White House again like it should be part of constituent life. The idea of an American POTUS governing by religion is a big problem for me because I see religion as personal, which I would never force, push, or demand others to practice or legislate. We have freedom of religion but what the right and maybe others seem to be pushing is just wrong, it is offensive, and against the whole separation of church and state… right? 

As right-leaning Tea publicans, now MAGARS , try to out -extreme each other, we all need to be aware of their lack of real substance, solutions, or plans that would be good for ALL Americans. I am no expert when it comes to individual rights, but it is apparent that folks on the right feel Americans get too many entitlements like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The impression is, that they intend to take some if not all the individual rights from people of colour. The behavior of these so-called women on the right should be addressed on so many levels, they are helping to take Autonomy away. It continues to embarrass the rest of us, as they open up their mouths to say things that have moved from nasty sarcasm to extreme ideology to seemingly overt racism. The notion that any public figure or anyone who wants to call themselves a Public Servant and or Representative of the People should be speaking and representing one nation under god, not just a select few which if you listen closely, representing a “select few” is all I get from the conservative extreme right that support trump. The new Republicans, want Americans to accept a new way of life, which they call limited government. Unfortunately, that means and includes a ban on women’s rights, book bans, people cannot love or marry whom they want, people of colour and Muslims should not be trusted, and religion or church and state are inseparable. Our founding fathers were opposed to it.

Apparently, the new Republican Party is now against most of what our forefathers put on paper.

I don’t know about you, but if MAGARs take our government, it sounds like the end of the only Pledge that should matter to all Americans … the Pledge of Allegiance.

Just another rant

 Summer is starting to give us all the signs of being over

 However, we in the Democratic Party have to help President Obama give Teapublicans the boot in 2012. I want the Democratic Party to stop the madness and instead of beating up on each other Democratic members of Congress and the President need to get on the same page, do the Peoples Business, and make sure those viewers know that Teapublicans have done nothing but filibuster both Chambers of Congress. In addition, unless you have been living under a rock the President’s efforts to move the Country into the 21st Century, a better standing, status and an employment number much lower than we have currently still blocked by the Teapublicans. We must not ever forget that Rep. McConnell said that his job is to make President Obama a One Term President, which is also what Bachmann, is pushing when she gets media attention. While it is obvious, the Media has made their focus on the extreme right. We all know controversy is good for ratings but we the people must make sure that “the media” fact checks the extremist Presidential candidates who seem to be throwing out lies, misinformation, and BS about the first Black President. The media continually points out the disrespectful comments President Obama has experienced while Teapublicans seem to take respect for granted or expect it as if they are privileged.  I admit there are quite a few extremely right leaning politicians from the Teapublican Party running for office in various states all over the country and there is a slight possibility of at least one woman, specifically Michelle Bachmann becoming the Republican Presidential Nomination with another extreme rightie named Sarah Palin. This is not the year of the Woman but not one of these two ladies … candidates truly represents women in their best light. The fact is most women in the Republican Party are against the right to choose, and unfortunately, Bachmann thinks submitting to her husband means having respect for him, which, if I hear her correctly would be how she would be if President; well the definition of submission is as follows and like we all know Words matter right. So, read what Merrian-Webster.com says Submission means …

The Origin of SUBMISSION

Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin submission-, submissio act of lowering, from submittere

First Known Use: 14th century

Most if not all conservative evangelical, Christians like Bachmann and Palin are against gays and some feel women in the Military is definitely a no no. To say these ideals are against family is to say i have a nose on my face. They are women who live different lives than the rest of us and if i am hearing them right they intend to push their personal ideologies on Americans and will try legislate them as well.   I certainly cannot image having these kinds of people in Congress let alone vying for the position of President. We must all GOTV in 2012 against a group of social conservatives that obviously are not our parent’s conservatives who may not share the Democratic view but were able to come together to solve our countries problems as Americans. The Teapublicans have taken risks since the midterm elections and are now setting their sights on the Whitehouse. Again, ruling by religion is a big problem for me because I see religion as a personal thing, which I would never force push or demand others practice. We have freedom of religion but what Bachmann, Palin, Perry maybe others seem to be pushing is just wrong, it is offensive, and dare i say against the whole separation of church and state… right? As right leaning Teapublicans try to out extreme, each other we all need to be aware of their lack of real substance, solutions or plans that would be good for ALL Americans.  Though I am no expert when it comes to individual rights, it is apparent that folks on the right feel Americans get too many entitlements like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and intend to take some if not all of my individual rights as a person of colour. The behavior from these so-called women on the right have embarrassed me as a woman in general on so many levels and continue to as they open up their mouths to say things that have moved from nasty sarcasm to what I consider extreme ideology to seemingly overt racism. The notion that any public figure or anyone who wants to call themselves a Public Servant and or Representative of the People should be speaking and representing one nation under god, not just a select few which if you listen closely, representing a “select few” is all I get from the conservative extreme right like Bachman, Palin and Perry.  The Teapublicans like Bachmann and Perry want Americans to accept a new way of life, which they call limited government. Unfortunately, that means and includes a ban on women’s rights, people cannot love or marry whom they want, people of colour and Muslims should not be trusted, religion and state are inseparable though our founding fathers were against it and yes, Teapublicans are against most of what our forefathers put on paper.

 I don’t know about you but the new deal sounds like the end of The only Pledge that should matter to all Americans … the Pledge of Allegiance.

TGIF & some News


featured pic is a campaign poster –

President Obama will be in the NYC today speaking from a General Electric Plant about JOBs and our economy he will then go to Maryland for a retreat with others from the Democratic Party.

Changes are happening …they are in the air and i like it.

If you listen to the tone of the Republican Tea Party since the midterm elections… the talk seems filled with a little more fear. The promises made to create JOBs have yet to happen or be attempted and while the public is beginning to finally hear, see and reject the carpetbaggers for who they really are I wonder if it will take all of the next two years for the Republican Tea Party to stop saying the midterm elections signaled a change and they heard the American people and are doing what they want. It is a fact that contrary to what Republicans keep saying …”talking points” or lies the polls by CBS say 48% want to keep President Obama’s new health care law and just 40% want to repeal it. In addition, pundits, reporters and talking heads suggest that politicians on both sides of the aisle are beginning to not only understand the new law better but are starting to like the new HCR law because it will help older folks, women, folks with pre-existing condition and children under 26 years old. It would be tragic if legislation done in a good faith effort for the people were struck down by Republican Tea Party. Still, I cannot begin to express how offensive the right was by campaigning with the promise to work on Jobs, Jobs, Jobs only to have decided to denounce and malign President Obama like Michele Bachmann who stated she and her comrades want to repeal not just legislation but this President instead of working for We the People to create Jobs.

The negative, nasty, ugly diatribe coming from the very people we placed in positions of power who get paid by American tax payers seem to be abusing it because the latest comments definitely give this voter the idea that they do not represent all the people of their States but those from Corporate America.

In an article this morning, the USA today reported that conservatives would end the federal government support of Amtrak, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, The National Endowment for the Arts and the U.S. Agency for International Development. I believe that this is just a start because rumors before the midterm elections were that the Departments of Educational and Agriculture would be cut if they had their way. The group promises to eliminate about $200 million a year for the District of Columbia. The article quotes Democratic Rep. Chris Van Hollen, calling the GOP proposal “radical” and Van Hollen’s spokesman, Doug Thornell told ABC news “Putting forward a plan that puts more people out of work and endangers our economic recovery calls into question how serious the GOP is about tackling our nation’s most difficult challenges.” This plan along with some other conflicts in what needs to be cut from the federal budget is developing a GOP rift. In contrast,  an interview today among other things, President Obama stated,”Republicans will need to explain to taxpayers how tax cuts for the wealthy squares with their desire to start reducing deficits and debt.”

While Folks like palin, cheney, boehner, limbaugh and other Republicans Conservatives continue to attack Obama for any move toward collaboration with other countries calling him a Socialist, twisting his words and the meaning, practicing fear mongering and otherwise being obstacles of change… which, is what we need … a way forward, an implementation of the changes “We the People” (53%) put President Obama into office that will move Americans toward the 21st Century contrary to what the right seems to want to do.

What was the past has to be accepted, exorcised and released for room to provide change we can believe in.
