Words Just Don't Express!

I've spent most of the day, tweeting and calling and encouraging others to call or write the FCC to protect our rights to a free and accessible Internet. The tweets and emails to politicians who were elected to represent the views and perspectives of their constituents but have apparently forgotten all about that. What we see today in the media regarding the illicit leader is beyond words for me. He attacks and demeans everyone proudly proclaiming his lack of intellect, civility and dignity and has certainly put a toxic stain upon the integrity of the office of president.

I've tried praying and writing and writing and praying and tweeting and begging his daughter to care enough about him to get him the help he needs--all to no avail.

I'm not the only person who sees trump falling apart or has some would say, having a meltdown that is evident in everything he does. To say that he didn't know what the job entailed would be an understatement, but it didn't stop him from undermining and demeaning President Obama. To say that he doesn't understand how government works--another understatement--he has no clue and none of his enablers will tell him the truth. To say he doesn't understand history--the biggest understatement I could make in my lifetime. What trump doesn't know--about anything remotely related to governing--is enough to fill a few oceans. But I'm trying to be careful of my depiction of him.

You see, unlike him, I know karma can leave a sting in the butt that nothing can remove or ease the pain. I'm planning to be in the White House in 2021 after a successful win, not garnered by cheating with Russians or anyone else for that matter and certainly not by suppressing the rights of others to vote, or not counting their votes. You see, this is how trump won and those who enable him, are his apologists and supporters--know exactly how he won.

I care about how history will treat me as I serve the American people. Notice I said, "serve" not dictate to them, but honor them in all that I do and my commitment to make life better for all Everyday Americans. I also know that "compromise" is not a foul word and that it takes compromise--from both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill to get things moving and growing. I know I don't have time or energy to feed my ego to make governing America all about me--it's all about, "We The People" whether people vote for me or not. I cannot just consider policies that benefit only those who voted for me. In fact, once the election is over, I must start composing an agenda and garnering all the experts who will help me make it happen.

I'm not rich--far from it.  I'm a retired educator with a limited income and will have to raise money for my campaign using rather unusual methods and encourage all who want to see real change in Washington to help support my bid. I've already calculated that since (before deportations and others changing their citizenship after 2016 election) our population is about 327 million, I'm guessing that roughly 80% of those are registered voters and will vote--best guestimate. That means there are approximately 261 million registered voters and if 40% of those voters (104 million) would donate $3 towards my campaign, I'd have enough to do everything I need to win and turn the tide in bringing America back to its former position of being a leader on the global stage.

Oh, sure. I know there are skeptics about my ability--heck some days, I allow the enemy to convince me I'm wasting my time, but then something happens to re-ignite my hope and faith, and I gear myself up to keep on going. That's what this post is about--pushing me to keep on going. Listen, many could create a list of things that I don't know about governing, but I'll start my list as to what I do know: I know I love this country and every citizen in it--and I know how to love unconditionally because I am loved--unconditionally. I care about the well being of everyone--especially the poor and the vulnerable. I know with the right people around me--guiding and advising me, America can only get better--adding to its greatness. I know I can take with me to the White House, dignity, integrity and honor--along with a sense of humor and a bit of silliness to shake off the negative Nellies. I also don't golf--if that means anything to anyone--I'm pretty much a homebody--traveling only when I need to do so. I love to read, write, bowl, and watch a good movie. I also love to encourage others to extend themselves--beyond their reach--in order to reach their goals.

I know I don't have to be rich to know what's best for others. I've been through the struggles and challenges that many face--being a single mother, having had a childhood full of lack, no one pushing or encouraging my direction in my life, but there was within me--a spark--that ignited risk and kept me going--daring to venture into fields and arenas where I had no knowledge. And as one person told me through the years, "No matter what happened to you, you always landed on your feet."
I'm adventurous--a pragmatic optimist--and I seldom give up or give in when I'm trying to accomplish anything. I refuse to let circumstances inhibit me. Sometimes I've failed to accomplish all that I wanted to accomplish, but with the failures always came the lessons and it is the lessons learned in life--with all of my miss-steps and flaws that have molded me into being the person I am today.
That's right--I'm confident I am the Everyday American leader we need to have the voices of all Everyday Americans heard.

Nothing I say--at this juncture may convince and I certainly hope nothing said will deter you from reviewing my stance on the issues that I believe matter to most. facebook.com/YesIAm2020.  Leave a comment if I haven't addressed a specific concern of yours and I'll respond to you as quickly as I can.

If we're going to make a difference in what happens to the poor and vulnerable--all those who don't and won't make $75K a year, we have to work together to accomplish our goal. I'm with you and I hope you'll be with me as we navigate this journey to the White House together. Look at that--maybe I found the words I needed to express myself today after all!

God Hasn't Forgotten!

I remembered my songs in the night. My heart meditated and my spirit asked: “Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again?  Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time? Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”Then I thought, “To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand. I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God? You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples. With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. The waters saw you, God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed. The clouds poured down water, the heavens resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth. Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the  earth trembled and quaked.Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen. You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. Psalm 77:6-20 NIV

No matter how disappointed we get with the seemingly ignored events of those in the White House, we must remember that God has not forgotten us. He numbered the very hairs on our heads, knows our thoughts before we ever think them, and has planned a future for us to prosper us, not harm us.

He did not promise we would not encounter obstacles on the journey to receive what He has in store for us, but we can be assured we will receive all He has for us because God is not a man that He should lie. Considering how he abhors lies and liars, telling a lie would never be a consideration for God. When, we read His Word and live it, we can count on His plans being fulfilled even when we don't see how.

Just like He has not forgotten those who are waiting for deliverance from the evil in the White House, He has not forgotten those who perpetuate the evil and He will give them their due recompense for all the havoc and chaos they have created.

We may think we've gotten away with something when we shrug off the illicit behaviors that would cost people their jobs in a blink of an eye. God knows--and perhaps--He is allowing more humiliation to build before the fall occurs. Satan doesn't have a problem with anyone rising to high heights because the fall will devastate. And he will take out his own army.

Therefore, if we trust God, we can trust that He is not ignoring the plight of America. He will deal with all those who are not acting like they belong to Him in Congress--all those Republicans who are "afraid of the president" and not the people who voted for them. They have forgotten, the "so-called"president didn't elect them--the people did. God has also not forgotten those "church leaders" who promoted 45 as "God's Choice" for president and they, too will reap their just recompense.

If we believe God's Word is true, then we must know that none are exempt from receiving the recompense of their actions--no one--not the president or anyone else working in the White House--and violating the laws and policies of this land. The oath of office taken by the president, Congress, and cabinet appointees should have been taken seriously, for The Word tells, it is better not to  make vow, than to make a vow and not keep it. One would think--all those "so-called Christians in Congress" would know this. I guess they haven't read it for awhile.

At any rate, all the world will see soon and very soon that though evil crept into the midst of things--God has not forgotten. Vengeance is His and He will repay--bigly!
Don't forget--God has always used people--those who are willing to listen to Him and obey--to accomplish all of His plans. If God is speaking to your heart to get involved in the resistance movement (resisting against evil), don't hesitate to act, while you yet have a chance.

Breathe, Reflect and Keep Fighting!

Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load. Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galatians 6:1-10 NIV

How does passage of scripture align with what we see right now?
Deception--is a key word in what we see in the daily news. People--and this is the White House contingency--are deceived by what they do--abuse of power--and they think we are deceived by their "alternate facts" which are blatant lies.

If they simply read and lived the bible--at least 45 claims to "love the bible" then he would know there is no need for him to keep comparing himself to President Obama--he'll never measure up. What he should concentrate on doing is not allowing President Bannon to steer the ship he was commissioned to captain. None of us who are paying attention are blind to what is going on. We know 45 didn't draft the executive orders and his "photo op" show of signing them and attempting to read words he's never seen is obvious.

How do we know? Most of us with fairly good perception and ability to draw conclusions knew when he first opened his mouth. He does not have the intellect to draft the executive orders presented in the presence of the press. Only an idiot would have given him credit for it. But that's not the most important factor--it has been revealed by media that he didn't know what he was signing and hence the chaotic mess with the Muslim Ban. And they can claim all they want that it was not a "ban on Muslims" but Giuliani revealed that 45 asked him how to "legally ban Muslims" and he helped him.
45 wants people to "praise him" but so far, he's done absolutely nothing that is praiseworthy. It is craving for recognition that President Bannon is using against him, feeding his ego so he can influence what he does. Hence--the conclusion that SB is actually the president and most people don't know--we have an unelected person running the government.

We'll soon see how the fallout will affect every American when SB--who is determined to destroy the country in order to fulfill his own agenda--allows white supremacist to do whatever they want to do in order to make America--"white again."

America needs to wake up and take off the blinders that are creating the scales distorting their view of reality. 45 is mentally unstable, SB is a bigoted racist, and haggyblonde is sleep deprived (she admitted yesterday) and since we know--sleep deprivation is a form of torture that creates distortions of reality--we know why she's acting the way she is.

They (teamtrump) seem to forget all the vicious lies they promoted during a campaign and now, they "say" it's not fair for people to constantly criticize what they do or how they're doing it. Really? It was okay for them to demonize both Hillary and President Obama, but now--it's not fair! What a load of baloney!

45 ran down his opponents in both the primary and general election with falsehoods, blatant lies and vicious personal character attacks, but now--the petulant, tantrum-throwing-toddler-in-chief wants people to play nice and stop hurting his feelings because he feels so "demoralized."Maybe he should have thought about "his actions" and considered how others might feel; especially since he continually denigrated President Obama for years--and he still has not apologized for that. But that's okay--Karma bites--and we learn from the word in Romans 13:7 --we can only get back what we give. "Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor."

And yes, before anyone reminds of the preceding verses of Scripture, I do know what it says and what it means, but since we do not have integrity and honor operating in the WH, I am not obligated to them.

Now, for those who need encouragement to keep going in the battle--step back for a moment, take a deep breath, reflect on the purpose and then get back in the battle to win it!

Coming Back Around

Whatsoever a man sows that only is what they will reap.

Karma can be b....!

If you steal, expect to be a victim of theft.

If you lie, expect others to lie to you.

If you are dishonest, expect dishonesty to be perpetuated against you.

However we treat people--good or bad--that is the only real expectation we can ever have.

Whatever you have done to people, God will repay 100 x greater--good or bad!

What goes around, will be coming back around and most of us won't like what we get!
