Wake Up America

 It's now been 3 weeks since election day and I'm really tired of the the white pundits telling me that Trump won because people can't buy eggs.  My ass!  As the numbers have now come in we see that white men in particular young white men came out of the woodwork and voted for Trump. Young white men voted for Trump because their lazy asses don't won't to work hard. They don't want to compete.  Young white men are mad that they have to compete against women, both white and black, and they want everything handed to them like their fathers and grandfathers before them. There is no meritocracy. Unqualified white men have been given opportunity since the founding of this country. Those who voted for Trump also like that he allows them to be their worst selves.  The fact that there are literally young white men saying "your body our choice" lets me know again that this election had nothing to do with the economy. So young punks do you really think this behav...

Those of you voted for Trump because he was going to build a wall and Mexico was going to pay for it got bullshited! Those of us who kept saying to Trumpsters that MEXICO IS NEVER GOING TO PAY FOR A BORDER WALL have been proven right! So now that Trump and the Republicans have looted $1.5 Trillion Dollars from the Treasury to give tax cuts to the rich they have no money to build a wall! I don't give a damn about Trump keeping his promises to people who were stupid enough to fall for this con. Land owners on the southern border are already lined up to file lawsuits against the federal government to prevent the taking of their lands. Democrats better not help the Republicans out of this mess! If the Republicans want to build this stupid wall then let them go on the record and vote for it. They don't have the votes to get it done and the Democrats should not help them pass it. DACA should not be tied to funding for this idiotic and useless wall. Business owners are for the p...

We now see the outcome of listening to the dopes like Susan Sarandon who said there was no real difference between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. However, they don't want to own the stupidity they exhibited in the lead up to the 2016 election. As a Black Woman who is about to celebrate her 58th birthday I consider myself part of the real base of the Democratic Party.  96% of Black Women voted for Hillary Clinton. 53% of college educated White Women voted for Trump.  So somebody tell me why in the Hell am I going to listen to this group telling me how my Party needs to change. As the Mother of a Millennial here's my message to them. If they haven't figured out yet that pouting about Bernie losing the primary and sitting home on their asses and not voting didn't work out, it's time to get their heads out of their asses.   I keep hearing people pandering to this group saying it's time for them to lead and we need young leaders.  Well I tell you what!  Until ...

Where is the Democratic Party going from the epic loss in 2016? Well that depends on who you ask. Bernie Sanders and his most rabid supporters like Susan Sarandon tell Democrats that we need to bow down to white working class voters and only depend on small donor contributions. According to them and the left wing purists, if we take money from rich progressive celebrities and progressive billionaires like Bill and Melinda Gates then we're no better than the Republicans. Well, as a 57 year old African American woman from Louisiana (one of the reddest states) living in Massachusetts (one of the bluest states) I can look at this question from both sides. Coming from a family of life long Democrats, I'm personally offended by Bernie Sanders and other independents telling us that all of our primaries need to be open so they can take over our party.  This is a non-starter for me. I say to them and all independents, pick a party or start your own. Bernie said he ran as a Democra...

If you listen to the Morning Joe television hosts we all underestimated Donald Trump as a Presidential candidate.  I vehemently disagree with them.  In actuality we overestimated the brains of the Republican voters.  Some political pundits get offended when it is said that Trump supporters are stupid. Well as a fellow voter I can say that I do believe Trump supporters are stupid and racist. The stupid comes from falling for the Trump okedoke without question. Trump has filled his supporters' heads with a laundry list of things he will do for them that he has no ability to get done given the structure of our government.  I say they are racist because they are supporting Trump's tagline of "Making American Great Again and Taking Our Country Back."  These phrases are dog whistles and Black people like me hear them loud and clear. I don't believe for one second that Trump supporters are just angry with Washington DC.  They are also angry at the Black P...

After hearing Bernie Sanders and his supporters try to eliminate Hillary Clinton from calling herself a Progressive I felt the need to weigh in on this discussion.  I vehemently oppose Bernie deciding that he can define who is a Progressive. I classify myself as a Progressive and a moderate which Bernie has decided you can't be.  Well in my mind along with millions of others you can be.  Bernie's hard line leaves not just people like me as non-progressive but also President Obama.  This is a huge problem for Bernie Sanders and he appears to be quite tone deaf to it.  Those of us who are staunch supporters of President Obama don't appreciate Bernie's attitude regarding the Obama legacy and that is why he will struggle to increase his support among African American voters. Bernie and his supporters keep talking about a revolution and I challenge them all to own it that they let President Obama down by sitting at home during the midterm elections in both 2010 a...
