the fight is constant … to retain both our constitutional democracy and republic
So, Today is a day to close your eyes breathe in through your nose slowly and deeply then release your breath slowly exhale through your mouth… be still stay calm repeat if needed
just another rant …
It has been a big week and or month for what seems to be a comeback of the tea party, gaining a lot of airtime and most of the interviews have them spewing a conspiracy theory about not only who should get impeached, but how the FBI our government law enforcement is now tainted. I guess this should not surprise anyone but the idea that Republicans in Congress who used to be respected at some point have chosen to ignore the obvious paper trail or digital one and the words coming outta the mouths of respected career service workers just seems too coincidental for me. I want to know what if any association do these folks have to all things done said acted upon by the trump admin. In 2013, only 18% of the public identified themselves as members of the tea party, but in this era of trump it seems they are back showing their true colours very loudly but have now transformed into something worse?
We all read how Republicans still believe or want voters to believe and blame any bs happening in this current government on President Obama and as we moved through the impeachment process and Presidential Primaries then the election, kooks who were voted into office now appear more unqualified than ever before and need to be voted out asap what with all the hearings and NOW Covid19, voters are getting another chance to see exactly what they voted for and seriously the democratic party did a great job in selecting members of Congress during midterm2018 … a tidal wave.
The notion that any republican member of Congress should remain seated in Congress while backing alternative facts and spewing what sounds like foreign propaganda is offensive. The old Tea Party was angry and misinformed but this new group of tea partiers or trumpist is much more willing to ignore the obvious including congressional duties, regular order, norms the rule of law and have seemingly been spitting on Our Constitution on the regular.
It’s tough to believe these people are actually buying that trump is actually governing with the constitution and rule of law in mind. It has got to be something else going on especially since he hasn’t really done anything for his constituents but to them. Again, just my opinion. I understand being upset about the politics of it all in general, but the fact is some were mad that 53% voted an African American into the office POTUS and if you were watching the impeachment debates etc it was clear republicans are still blaming him for whatever they won’t take personal responsibility for while others continue using xenophobia and racism to incite fear, promote exclusion and have crossed the lines of sanity … will folks get it in this era of Covid19
I will say it again, most if not all of the new group of Republican members of congress seem like misinformed trump operatives, others are racists and then there is a small group of misguided individuals. This is just my opinion. There are quite a few solutions including impeaching trump but registering new voters and getting out the vote is important, remember that the mid-term elections have always been a no big deal vote and that got changed as the #Midterm2018tidalwave switched out republicans in Congress for the democratic party as the fight for the right to vote beat out gerrymandering in the courts, yet the battle continues on. The struggle is real.

6 tips for putting words to music
I am not a songwriter musician or lyrist, but I love to read definitely listen and more often than not dance to the spoken word when put to music.
My personal interest is in the art of movement, specifically dance; when music is combined with words in innovative patterns can soothe invigorate irritate as well as make you move and feel good.
They say Music is said to soothe the savage beast least we talk about when done right … Words can touch our souls and that also awakens our senses. Most of us can agree that the art of dance and or music transcends language barriers.
So, my six tips are below …
(1) Make it personal because reading experiences about a one night stand love at first sight, first love, lust, a long term love brings a sense of connection folks sometimes look for and set to music can only enhance a good lyric . .Right
( 2) Be yourself folks do go out their way to learn the lyrics to a song and will like love and feel the performer is genuine in their delivery and not trying to be something else, can actually be heard seen felt
( 3) The kind of music that makes an impression also provides imagery and a vision of something the song is about; even if it is abstract, the image is sort of like a coffee table object. Always up for interpretation depending on who is listening to reading or learning the lyrics … of course, when it comes to love … when someone is singing to you … take time to listen; I heard that once and then again you may have heard the song but weren’t feeling the music
(4) Rhymes Reason and Rhythm because who doesn’t like the art of movement …and more often than not that is what kind of music makes great artist move up into the stratosphere … in my opinion. I dance because I have to and anything that has a great hook a great bass or syncopation definitely will be played more than once in my house. The rhythm of life
(5) Always assume a video of your creation is a possibility so … be that visionary
(6) 🙂 Always believe you were born to make music (:
So, what makes you get onto the dance floor …

The winter solstice …
… the Sun appears at noon at its lowest altitude above the horizon. [2] In the Northern Hemisphere this is the Southern solstice, the time at which the Sun is at its southernmost point in the sky, which usually occurs on December 21 to 22 each year
The idea that President Barack Obama just didn’t know what he was doing is beyond absurd; he was definitely held back by his aids but he governed for the people. I cannot say that about our current administration. There are strong feelings, passions and possible misunderstandings in this era of trump, but it seems like it’s time for trump supporters to hit the “panic button” especially after the midterms and time for DEMS to call it game over! To be sure the game of politics is clearly just beginning as DEMS take over the House and at some point voters on both sides of the aisle had to see the actions being made, accept the truth of where this admin wanted America to go and made some serious decisions in 2018 to change the faces of Congress. It’s possible that Congress previously led by republicans will now be held to a minimum of spending on hearings based on revenge, his 3rd shutdown has begun while the government of tantrums is far from over and the chaos is beyond holding America hostage for no quantifying reason. The check on mr trump has been voted into office during the midterms … YaY! yet, the long road ahead is going to keep us wide eyed mouthed and gasping as we endure this era of trump
So, for this coming New Year, pledge to be ready for Election 2020… lean left. The point to my blog; is to blow off steam … offer up some info from those who know, maybe question, challenge some who think they know, ask, plead or yell for a call to action with signatures that can create change …and
Yes, Words do Matter contrary to how most conservatives seem to feel.
I thank everyone who even takes the time to visit my blog let alone read and respond to the articles and even some actually sign petitions … I thank you … much gratitude.
In this era of trump one might be thinking the end of days, what with republicans trying to legislate more guns in stadiums schools and other alarming places, allowing more concealed weapons in open spaces least we think about what life will look like under what seems like Martial Law depending on your zip code or skin colour. We must stand our ground and have the Audacity for Hope and Change.
Have a Merry Christmas &
Happy New Years

Happy Halloween
The weather outside is frightful depending upon which state you live in. It is reported that snow is rolling through the low land Plains, Canada and the PNW Mountains though life in the low lands here is as per usual here in the 206 … windy and cold. In a complete surprise, reports are that #Halloween2019 will be sunny and cold! So make sure to dress appropriately and be on the safe side!
Halloween in the 206 is usually rainy.
just another rant …
I don’t know about you but dang, the #WANov5ballot was complex and took a little longer than usual to fill out because of the many positions, issues and the lack of information to ponder but, the fact that I couldn’t vote for Mayor or the City Council in my area due to how the lines are drawn is upsetting, not acceptable. I did refer to the #ProgressiveVotersGuide website for help! So, my point is, I hope everyone has taken the time to go over that #Nov5Ballot and checked the information on it with some much-needed research. I did NOT vote for R88 in this era of trump because I don’t know who or how companies will be monitored; who will face any consequences if this policy is on an honor system only and as Vets have been stating … They might or will be left out.
Politics! has seeped into every part of our lives since trump managed to gain the highest position in the land and not in a good way IMO. Whoever helped him and however he got there, it certainly isn’t what our founders envisioned. When the 2018Midterms showed that the country wanted needed checks and balances on this guy, things just got crazier. Now, we are in a Historic moment where not only has the trump impeachment inquiry vote taken in the House and will move forward we have an African American Woman currently in the position of 4th in the Democratic Primary Candidate choices. While all this is going on the Republican Nationalist Party has made a whole lot of folks uncomfortable, what with all the loony tune behavior, overt lies and racist comments by folks who claim they are qualified to be representing constituents… Tell me how that can be if you are engaging in fear of nonwhites? We all need to repeat daily, that are a nation of immigrants yet, being brown and or black appears to be enough to be considered suspect.
“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
I do not want to go back to what sounds like the colonial days …it controlled the lives & the future of people of colour and now a group that took a hard right are saying they are Nationalists …their definition btw hasn’t been clarified by team trump after tossing it out into the airwaves.
Q: Are they determined to repeal equity in all its forms …
We are a nation of immigrants, yet it seems like there is a stark difference between which immigrants, asylum seekers or refugees that are more acceptable … You heard the rhetoric, we must move forward to stay in the present so discrimination in all its forms fails.
