The Joys, The Remembrance, The Concerns

Shout Out- To The Eagles Football team who won the Super Bowl!

Truely, this was a tremendous triumph over the many adversities they had to face.

The win was what the team and city of Philadelphia needed when so many trials and tribulations have occurred and occurring as I write.

The Lombardi s Trophy is a site to see again, and it only took 7 years to get it again!

Shout Out- to All of the people that who survive the Jet crash in Northeast Philadelphia and condolence go out to all who lost their lives on that plane.  They were on a mission for the good. Prayers go to the families and all involved.  Hopefully, they will find the reason for such a tragedy. Prayers, Prayers

Shout Out- Prayers to those who was on the plane crash in Washington, DC .  Prayers, Prayers     I remembered that 2 weeks before that crash, I had donated $20 to the Philadelphia Skating Club that needed funds to repair the building. I feel connected to the people who was connected to the school in a personal way. Prayers to all involved in a very heart-felt way. Every life is important.

Shout Out- To all who is in wonder about this recent election.  It is important that we all keep visual and to put into action by communication you protest for what is happening to the ordinary people.  I’ve written about Democracy, but when Its all about how much can be taken away from your livelihood and mere existence, is not the government we want or ever want.  Now, is the time to daily read about all events that will change your life and your future.  We have enough going on with climate change and all the people who are homeless because of it, the American People don’t need the bullets of evil attacking them every day.  Truely a pass of self-destruction is what we all see, because, as one wants to make such drastic changes, should know, that some changes we know once the genie is in the bottle, you can’t take it out, but in the world as it stands now, we are the genie, that cannot be taken out of its bottle. l gave great thought to this statement. Yes, we know about government waste, indulging wars, and just racism that have kept America from being where it should be. Billions of dollars of waste where, money should have been place in making the American people’s lives better. No one in America should be hungry, homeless and without good medical care.  So, at this moment, every person who want to move our country forward and for the betterment of all people, do something now! Not tomorrow, not next week, but at the moment. Read everything that is happening and do read as much as possible about Project 2025. To “divide and conger” is the old game, the new game is for us to “join together, share, plan and protest”.

Let’s continue the American Dream with strength, wisdom, and with a clear vision.   We are all in this together. There’s only one earth. Once that’s gone, there’s nowhere else to go. So, let’s keep America together and to encourage the world to better and prosper in ways that will improve the lives of many.

How Your Vote Is Suppressed/The ACLU Tell It Like It Is!

Political News, Your Rights As A Voter and an American, , , , , ,

Are You Giving Up Your Voters Rights?

Hello Friends, Family, And Associates,

Voters suppression is real.  There are so many ways that your vote can be suppressed and that is something we all should not let happen-at least to know what are the ways of voter’s suppression. Many people just don’t understand why all the fuss  One reason for the fuss of the change,  in the voter’s rights are the changes in the law.  While you’re sleeping,  other politician are not and is trying to figure out how to maintain their status quo. Well, whether we like it or not the numbers are changing as there are already more black and brown people in the world, let alone the USA.  However, that don’t mean how they will vote  party wise.  But Democracy still stands in the hearts of all elected. At least it should. I do not want to see another Hitler rise up from the ashes.

Being close to losing our democracy really hit us all in our faces for the first time not only now but in the recent events of the  last administration and throughout American History.   Democracy to me means freedom to express and exercise you rights and voicing your opinion for what you think is right-not only for you but for the country.

No matter who you are, your vote should count. It’s the American way-so I thought.

I am impressed with an article by the ACLU that really maps it out as of what voters suppression is about in a,b, c, terms that anyone can understand.

This is a link to an article written by the ACLU called, “Block The Vote”.

https://www.aclu.org/news/civil-liberties/block-the-vote-voter-suppression-in-2020/

Do share or your social media information and make copies or save it for yourself to reads and explain to others.  This is no time to rest and think everything is going to be  Ok when your very own life depends on the freedom we have always enjoyed to some point.

Yes, your vote should count!  Do support them if you can, so that they can fight for the rights of all people.

As a nurse forever, I took the oath of caring for all people no matter their status, race, economic condition, gender, religion, etc.  As Americans, the oath of caring for all humanity should stand and be a part of all of us always.

The Pandemic should teach us a lesson in that we are all in this together and we are.

Again, an amazing article that is worth reading and responding to.

Peace, Love, and Blessings

Make Your Vote Count!

Voting is your RIGHT!

We are up against a very important election year and as we face many challenges, we need to put the best person in the white house.

Though I’m Democratic, I also know that it is important to get our country back in a more united way. This country depends on all of us working together to build the country where it should be. As a nurse, discrimination has no place in my profession nor in my everyday life. You can’t separate the country and call it the United States of American.

So, let’s make a better America by casting your vote for the best that we can get. No one is perfect as we see, so it is up to us to make a change within any of the 2 parties that is usually on the voter’s ballot.

Also, by the way, I’m back from 3 months of having to go through the renewal of my domain from which I missed the message. So check you spam and make sure you don’t have to wait for the process to go through. Thankfully, my host company was very helpful in working out some of the details. I learned some new words in the process, such as Propagation and DNS lookup.

Everyone, please stay safe and listen to the scientist. You life is important to us. I’m sorry if you’ve lost a relative, friend or job associate. This Covid-19 has affected each and everyone of us.

Just to remember to smile under your mask and others will see it! Your eyes reveal a lot about how you feel. So smile, smile and smile. That idea could be contagious-a good contagious.

God bless you all and God Bless America and World Peace and Care!

What We All Learned By This Horrific Government Shut Down

Political News

As an American, the reason for this Government Shutdown was unconstitutional where Americans caught in the middle of a poor decision. A decision that affected all Americans.

We all know that we have a boarder problem, but where is the root of the problem.

I believe we should find out what is going on in the countries from which the immigrants are trying to get away from and to see if money could be applied into these countries to help get rid of the corruptions and to replace these problem countries with a system that works. However, we have a slow-moving tsunami coming right at us at on both sides- the downfall of the American system and the large influx of people who are trying to escape the terror of the worst kind and is looking for a better way of life. Can American sustain these amount of people and still be fair to everyone?

Only history will tell the true story as politics and the right thing to do is in conflict from this presidency, from which a decision has to be made as the best thing to do.

I want to speak more about the Government Shutdown later. Do we need another Government shutdown? No! It was so unneccessary from the get-go

Resources For Federal Employees and Families Affected By Government Shutdown

Political News, Uncategorized

I just heard on the WURD 900 radio station had a representative from the Pennsylvania Labor department, that there will be a resource meeting for those affected by this Trump Government shutdown to get you help today, January 22, 2019. This effort was set up by Pennsylvania Governor Wolf.

Over 57 agencies will be at 1709 Benjamin Parkway, Philadelphia, today. Hours are from 12 pm to 4 pm and I believe it is open to all affected in the area.

Please try to attend, even if no more to collect information for others.

Hopefully, this government shut will be over soon! Meanwhile, support and help in any way you can to those you know affected.

DONALD TRUMPS PRESIDENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Political News, Political Opinion,

HELLO READERS,

Surely you know of  the 2016 presidential  election  outcome.  The campaign TDonald Trump  lead was one of the ugliest and mean-spirited that Americans have ever witnessed.

Most of the people I have spoken to on the campaign trail really didn’t get it. Voting is very important!  However, it look like electoral college really made the choice of who was going to be president.  If the electoral college stay in place,  then really, what other choices do we have in America to make sure our voices count.  We don’t need the majority vote.

Here is a link from the Mother Jones website on their collection of conflicts of interest of  President Elect, Donald Trump.
Mother Jones/ Politics

Let your voices be heard, protect  your rights and the rights of the American people.  Democracy must be protected for all American and all people should be treated with respect and dignity.
