I haven't really been able to focus in on blogging lately. It's not that I don't have a lot to say. There has been plenty happening in America to talk about .
Yesterday, I spent the whole day at the hospital. My baby sister had a stroke, her brain is swollen along with a couple of other complications. Today, she was airlifted to Stanford Medical Center.
In addition, for the last couple of years I've been dealing with a lot of sickness and death of my loved ones repeatedly and nonstop lately. The ones that died, lived a full life. However, that does aleviate the pain I feel in my heart.
I'm a family oriented person who loves family, and I miss them. Our family is close knit. Those that live in other states, we keep up with one another through telephone and Internet. Growing up, we had our friends too, but we mostly hung out with family.
What I consider another traumatic experience for me is I let my daughter talk me into getting my hair cut short. Believe me after wearing my hair long for so many years that in itself is traumatizing to me. :) The woman cut my hair way too short for my taste. In fact, she cut it so short you can smell my brain. No, you cannot actually smell my brain and that is just a saying that I have. However, in the last few days I've gotten use to it and it is a sophisticated look.
Nevertheless, the world does not stop turning, so I am going to talk about a couple of things that have caught my eye in the news.
I was reading where some skinheads were preparing for a race war. However, what really caught my eye about this one is the fact that they were hoping to use deadly toxin ricin as one of their choice of weapons. Evidently, the mastermind of this plan is not very bright.
"The racists were training with AK-47′s, stockpiling weapons and allegedly planning to manufacture ricin, a substance the U.S. government considers a weapon of mass destruction."~~DailyMail~~
"Faella believed there was an inevitable race war coming and he saw American Front as being the protectors of the 'white race.' And he wanted to be ready."~~DailyMail~~
Faella, I guess it is inevitable if you're one of those who has been inciting it. Faella, evidently was not taught when he was a child never to start fights because you could wind up on the losing end of it, especially if you have the wrong motive for starting it. It does not always turn out like you think.
Jesse Lee Peterson is at it again with his hate aimed at women now. Apparently, Peterson not only is a self hating black man, but he hates women too. Well, that's to be expected of those on the right. They tend to be mysogynist. Ladies you do know where the GOP party is headed with this. Their intentions is to strip women of all their rights.
I doubt if any self-respecting female would give Peterson a first or second glance because he is a hateful, vicious, evil, and bitter man. Besides which, he is ugly as sin. Plus, he is Sean Hannity's puppet and yes man who wears out his knee pads for Hannity.
However, this is the not first time Peterson has had negative comments about women. Nope! He suggested once on CNN that women should be physically abused and one time he called women whores.
Well, looks like Paul Ryan's budget has passed the house. Smh! I totally agree with Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) when he said this:
"How do we reconcile more money for bombs while cutting money for bread?" asked Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio). "The real deficit that we are dealing with here is a moral deficit, and it's time that we face the truth."
Paul Ryan will go down in history as an asshole who sucked up to the rich. Did he take out the part of that bill that benefits his own family? Starve poor people to feed greed should be Ryan's motto.
Granny has a solution to trim the budget. My proposal is that we eliminate the GOP Party out of Congress by voting every single one of them out of office come November.
Happy Birthday, President Joseph Robinette Biden :)

Yet they are afraid of black folks?
"However, this is the not first time Peterson has had negative comments about women. Nope! He suggested once on CNN that women should be physically abused and one time he called women whores."
This is why I don't watch CNN
"How do we reconcile more money for bombs while cutting money for bread?" asked Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio). "The real deficit that we are dealing with here is a moral deficit, and it's time that we face the truth."
Dennis Kucinich is leaving Congress and Joe the Plumber might take his place. SMH
" Granny has a solution to trim the budget. My proposal is that we eliminate the GOP Party out of Congress by voting every single one of them out of office come November."
Easier said than done in America.
Hang in there Granny. Things are going to get easier. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
"How do we reconcile more money for bombs while cutting money for bread?" asked Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio).
Because it is the federal government's job to buy bombs and it is not their job to buy bread.
The Constitution tasked the federal government with regulating interstate commerce and providing for the common defense. That's it.
Everything else was left to the states.
If California wants to buy bread for its citizens, it can. California doesn't have an army, so it is not buying bombs.
The federal government has metastisized to the point it has assumed responsibility for and control over everything. The programs are too large, too wasteful, and too generic to meet the needs of different populations. That's why we are both broke and unhappy with what we have bought.
Because it has become so important to most people, we should probably keep social security as a federal program, but all other entitlements should be the responsibility of state governments.
And I am sorry to hear of your health problems and losses in your personal life, Granny. Both are inevitable as we grow older but that doesn't make it any easier to bear. I hope you feel better.
And your hair will grow back.
Redeye, people are waking up, so they might surprise you this coming election. However, the GOP intends to cheat in every possible way.
Kingnut, I'd rather feed people than buy weapons to kill them with. I believe that every single human being on this earth is entitled to enjoy their life to the fullest. Starting wars over land and resources is covetous, barbaric, and uncivilized.
Hey Granny! I know you're rocking that short hair!:)
I'm sorry to hear of your losses. And I'll keep yur sister in myprayers for a speedy recovery.
I heard that soon there will be huge cuts in health funds and as for education, there have already been cuts in the Pell funds for needy students. :(
Desert:
Yes, they have limited the Pell grant to six years, no exceptions to the rule.
Thank you Desert, Redeye, and Kingnut for your kind words regarding what I am going through right now.
Granny:
Racists have been preparing for this war for over 400 years!
They are bent set on our destruction. Funny thing though...Supremacy states that all people who fight against them will perish..not just coloureds.
Do you think they know that?
Read, The Plan at my blog...
You'll find it touches on this very topic.
