Lies

There is nothing I despise more than a lie.

Lies, when repeated often enough, can be believed by the person that fabricated them.

Never before in our country have we had a president that lies so constantly, with a base that believes him so completely that has a news station to amplify him. It is horrendous, it is dangerous.

We need to mobilize, we need to stop this. If not now, when? If not us, who?

These children can't speak for themselves. They're minors. Some younger than my three year old. It pains me to think of either of my children in captivity, away from me, with no clear path back to me. How can they do this? How can any government do this?

I think of their little faces, their eyes, already filled with fear of being in a new place, feeling solace only from the embrace of their parents and then the mean men take them away and put them in cages. This is traumatic.

A senator, I think, Steve King, said that Abortion is the true final separator of child from mother and that this immigration policy isn't that. Might I say, editorially, that this man is a disgusting human being? Okay, that said, this isn't about abortion. It's about the fact that these children were born, carried in their mother's wombs, they are wanted, they are loved and now, the American government is forcibly taking these children away. The American government is taking the children away from mother's that believed in being pro-life. They believed in carrying their babies to term and they believe in trying to give them a new life. A new life. A new beginning. Not trauma. Not detention. Not cages. Not strange men in uniform. Not sadness and terror away from their parents.

This action does not make our border secure. This action does not improve the safety of the United States. I've seen the pictures, these people are not terrorists. They are coming here to seek asylum, which is NOT against the law.

What this does, is make our border more insecure. It causes more unrest in the countries along our border. Donald Trump is literally kidnapping their children without any plans for how to reunite them with their parents. He is holding them hostage for a wall along that border and has said as much nationally, on television.

The President of the United States is a terrorist. Fox News is his terrorist mouthpiece and his followers are too stupid to realize that they are likely next on his list.

There is no bottom to the depths of his evil. Stop the hypocrisy. Stop saying, "But Obama" and "But Bill Clinton," and "But Hillary" and instead say, "THIS IS WRONG AND IT MUST STOP!"

The Monday Post Vacation...

...has got to be one of the worst damn days EVER!!! Now that that is out of my system I have to say, there is something beautiful about being in the White Mountains with no service on my cell. No reason to check Twitter, no exposure to the rantings of a lunatic. It's nice. It's pleasant. Now I'm back to the connected world and I don't know that I like it all that much. I looked up actions and quotes from guilty people and it's so strange to see that Trump's behaviors and tweets match to a T. He's so guilty that he's trying everything to stay to afloat and it's just scary. I see my kids do it. I ask my son, "Did you draw on the wall with sharpie?" He goes, "No, it was my sister." I ask him, "Are you sure you didn't draw on the wall?" He says, "No, I said it was my sister!" Then he throws the Sharpie and proceeds to have a tantrum...he's three. Trump is doing all the same things, and more, that

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

As many of you may know I am a huge fan of Audible.com. I listen to books during my commute and because of Audible I have exposed myself to books that I would have had a hard time sitting down and reading, not only because of the lack of time I have, but because of the nature of the content. I tend to like fiction over non-fiction. My latest listen is a book called Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind . It's fascinating. A few chapters back the author spoke on gender differences and various theories about why patriarchal societies throughout history far outweigh matriarchal societies. Biologists and anthropologists can't seem to come to any type of logical conclusion for this. The author floated one out that I'm going to editorialize on. He said that women are "more cooperative" than men and have seemed to not really care about conquering new lands or being motivated by wanting power. Men, on the other hand, wanted power, they wanted to fight, they wanted

Frustration

I know I'm not the only person feeling frustrated. I know that I'm not the minority when I fight against injustice and wrongness. I know that I have allies and because I know that, I keep on going and try to stay positive. So what causes most of my frustration? This guy: Ever since Donald Trump stumbled onto the scene, he's been a problem. He has one motivator, money. He also happens to be a racist and a misogynist. He also happens to be a serial liar and a serial cheater. Donald Trump is still living in the days when it was totally acceptable to: Use racial epithets in public Smack his secretary on the ass for a job well done Whistle at females under his employ Routinely telling females in his employ that they are "beautiful" Deny renting to minorities Assume all minorities are criminals Assume that a person has to look a certain way to be of a certain heritage Promote white men to the highest levels of authority Build a thicker glass ceil
