Ours to lose

I have reached that point. I must be honest by saying that point includes my financial information being changed without my consent. I am now in a financial bind because of no access to my finances. All of that aside, I spent the last of my spare cash on a political donation for a candidate running for statewide office in Mississippi. Now as to the point I have reached, it is the point of being pissed with people who clamor for change but do nothing to facilitate that change. President Obama has finally come out swinging and I am pulling eye-teeth to get people to just call Congress to support the president. I mean really. These are the same people who are upset with Congress and demand more of President Obama but they will not spend 5 minutes on the phone. They will spend hours on Twitter, Facebook, or talking with me but they will not call Congress. People we have a problem. If we do not get the change we desire it is on us. It is not the fault of anyone but us. There is only so much corporate controlled media can do when faced with the determination of a people who desire not only change but progression to a sustainable future for the United States. We have access offline and online to circumvent traditional media outlets that have kept the progressive message silent in America; reason the majority is silent. We must use that access to achieve a better future for our nation. We are not people who cheer the death of those on death row or chant "let'em die when it comes to the uninsured". We are a people that understand building a nation takes building of all of the people. Should we sit on our collective butt then we will get what we get. Get up people. Do something to create the change you desire. The Tea Party people have gotten up to create short sighted change. In Mississippi we have a candidate running for office ,who is actually over qualified for the position, doing most of her own support work. When I learned of her struggle, I was very pissed off. We have someone who did not have to return home to Mississippi but chose to do so. She does not have to work in the public sector but is choosing to do so. Yet we, the Progressives in Mississippi, are making her do her own support work, WTL?!?!?! It is no wonder that some Democrats in Mississippi choose to run as Republicans. Republican voters support their candidates no matter what asinine terror filled thoughts the candidate presents. Why are Progressives afraid to speak out and to help out candidates who are sound and logical people? If I seem a bit angry, I am. Seeing such inaction in Mississippi in regards to a candidate who is one of the best running for any office in Mississippi in many years is sad. Also, not having access to my money when I need to fill my tank is very upsetting. People, we can do this. We must get up off our duffs and just do it. Talking is great but action is better. Push has come to shove not just in Mississippi, not just in America but worldwide. Checkout this link: She is overqualified for the job but we need her in Mississippi. We need more Mississippians such as her to return home to make this state better. http://www.moranfortreasurer.com/

White Boys Whine

Quick  and dirty   Star Trek  Discovery  is everything  I  thought  it would  be.  It is my hope the White  boys  chill the fuck out .  There will be a White male captain .   The Black  woman  will be of a lowered  status.  White  boys  are you appeased ? My personal  view fuck White  boys who had their dicks in a vise  over women  of color  at the helm of a fictional  space vessel.  I shall watch  Star Trek  Discovery .  I shall pay the fee to CBS Access  with joy. If you wanted to watch OITNB you paid  Netflix . Overall  I look  forward  to the day a fictional  show  that features  women  of color  in prominent  positions  doesn't  freak out White males.  They were  so freaked  out  they compared  The Orville  to Star Trek  Discover...

New century no time for old games

As I prepared to write my comments on the Marcus Smart/Jeff Orr incident, I noticed a grown-ass man push a chair in the path of two running children at McDs.  I moved the chair and informed the man I was helping him by preventing the children from tripping.  I informed him that if the children tripped he and I would have an altercation.  He had not one word to say to me.  Punk assed grown assed men don't fuck with grown-ups only those they consider weak.  These people are the ones who will take pics of their gun collections to post on FB or Twitter.  These are the ones who will heckle college kids with racial slurs, "go back to Africa", or "Where is your green card."  As a mother, I can only hope my example of not being a punk has become embedded in my kids.  Real strength comes from knowing who you are and not seeking to belittle others.  My thoughts on Marcus Smart and Jeff Orr are simple. Marcus don't let it get to you.  It is sad...

The words we use

Someone in the media is in hot water for calling the president a dick. In all fairness I have said worse about Dick Cheney and George Bush. Well Cheney. I do not think anyone should be in trouble for call president a dick. However I have yet to see President Obama do anything that warrants my calling him anything other than Mr. President. He has not started any unwarranted wars. He has not fought to keep the American people in financial bondage. He has worked to change the tax code to keep the American economy viable. Why would anyone call Obama a dick is beyond me. IMHO we have had people in power who were true dicks. They managed to screw the people of America and the world so badly it will take a decade to feel normal. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
