Taylor Taranto ~ attacked guard

  Taylor Taranto was arrested for running towards President Obama's house. He had been writing "alarming" messages on Truth Social, including retweeting a T.S. post with Obama's home address listed. He had weapons on him, and his van was filled with more weapons and ingredients to make a molotov cocktail.

What does Taranto have against the Obama's? Oh, I guess, it is on principle, he loves donald trump so much he was among the J6 crowd that attacked Jeffrey Smith, who later committed suicide. There is an outstanding arrest warrant due to his J6 Capitol riot involvement. 

Well, arrested on that now. Hope he is given a long sentence ~ seeing as he was one of those instrumental in causing a guard's death; and, a clear & present danger, if given one of those slaps on the wrist sentences other rioters were given for trying to stop an election.

Barrack was too nice; he could have sued the donald for slander & libel due to his Birther rantings. This is what trump creates; people like Taranto that will act on his behalf, to commit violence. Is that how one makes "America great again?" That is why I refer to them as MAWAs, not MAGAs ~ make the U. S. of A. all white again? 

Is Taranto an Italian name? Italian immigrants were not considered white; nor were Irish immigrants. White basically blue-eyed blondes, Russians, Germans, English brown hair light skin peoples.

Maria Shriver

 Maria Shriver comments during a Los Angeles rally for Senator Obama.

if Barack Obama was a state he'd be California

Think about it...diverse, open, smart, independent, bucks tradition, innovative, inspiring, dreamer, leader

not about himself, it is about us ~ the power of us ~ he empowers all of us

what kind of America do I believe in (have conversation with yourself and ask in your heart)

do I believe in an America that's about  unity, its about coming together, its about seeing beyond the labels,you gotta see beyond the labels that divide us

we should give a shout out to everyone who is running for president of the United States*

California is about unity, and because we're all about leadership, * I really believe these all good people all following their own(truth) (choice?), they're all following their own voice and they all believe they can make a difference in this country

I have been searching for a stump speech from Obama's campaign that impressed me. I thought perhaps it was Carolina Kennedy. What I remember was something like: 

We all want the same thing for the country, we just disagree on how to get it. Maria Shriver's speech was the closest that I found to what I recall hearing.

United States of America

 Ever since someone complained that the United States of American declare themselves Americans, as if they owned North, Central and South Americas, I stopped saying "Americans." It is easier to say than United States of America citizens. The other countries have unique names: Chili, Brazil, Panama, Peru and so calling ourselves Americans seems correct.

On my quest to no longer post comments, clearing my copy/paste stuff.

nostalgic:

there is not a liberal America & a conservative America
there is the United States of America
there is not a black America, & a white America, & Latino America & an Asian America
there's the United States of America

Really proud

 My sister hates Michelle Obama, because she said "this is the first time I am really proud of my country."

Never mind that she was misquoted and her words were taken out of content. I told sister she was proud that youth were engaged in the process. She did not say she was never proud, just that this time she was really proud. Kind of hard to be proud of a country that enslaved your ancestors. Hard to be proud of a country that allowed lynching of black/brown children and men. Hard to be proud of a country that allowed Jim Crow laws in the south.

Hard to be proud of a country that jailed women force feeding them, or allowed husbands to lock up wives in insane asylums. 

I was really happy with citizens of the U.S. who voted for a man not based on color of his skin, but based on content of his character. I would not say I was not happy with the country; it is all I know. I stopped saying the pledge of allegiance years ago. My allegiance belonged to god, not country. Even though I no longer worship a god, I did not go back to pledging allegiance. 

I could not pledge allegiance to a government lead by a Nazi, or a dictator like Putin. After the glorious day when people of all skin colors, elected President Obama, they went back to voting for a man of low character. What happened?

CNN Opinion

 Some people who comment take opinion articles (or opinionated talk show hosts) as news. 

This CNN opinion article includes news. I have already read about President Obama's speeches at campaign rallies. Several weeks ago I had a knock on my door from campaigners. I wondered who let them in the building. They asked if I was registered to vote, what my most important voting issue for me.

Roe v. Wade I likely shouted. They were probably sorry they asked, inching away from door to talk to the next person. They did learn that I was an Independent, that I might as well change to Democrat because I will never choose a GOP candidate ever again. I stopped voting for them years ago due to their now realized desire to overturn Roe v Wade. 

Polls show that voters biggest concern is Inflation. I am guessing those polls are factual, due to my habit of reading comments on articles. But I am with Obama. Do you want freedom? First they came for women's rights, then they came for transgenders, then lesbians and homosexuals...

...now is not a good time to be reading The Handmaid Tale. Do not know if I read it previously; I got to the part at the Wall, abortion doctors hanging by hooks. I am at the part describing how things happened. "Machine gunned Congress." Oh, my, Capitol Building riot instigated by the sitting president. 

Barrack asks: Who will fight for your freedom? I already know that the trumpets will say The Don. The guy who wants a family dynasty ruling much like what  the colonists revolted against. I want to cry. I guess I can save my tears for mid term election results. Especially here in Pennsylvania. How I wish I was physically able to go back to Long Beach. 

I was wondering where the wheelchair brigade spends their nights now that the library was torn down. Oops wrong blog for that one. The Senate candidate is anti-female liberty. He will probably win due to his opponent's stroke. I hope I am wrong. If that worse anti freedom guy wins for governor, I told my daughter I have to leave the state. Hence my pondering wheelchairs in Long Beach.

Will they come after the unhoused? The elderly? Muslims? Refugees? You?

the pundits like to slice and dice our country into red states, blue states,

we are one people all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes,

all of us defending the United States of America

The good ole' days.

Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights

 https://riseup4abortionrights.org/ Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights


I do not care for "abortion rights." Abortion has become a dirty word. Every miscarriage is an aborted pregnancy. I prefer Rise Up 4 Women's Rights, or Rise Up 4 Liberty, Rise Up 4 Equal Rights for Women, or something like that. 

President Obama said it neatly: "no one approves of abortion." He was a thinking man, not one to rule by emotion. He considered what would happen if law required the father's permission to terminate a pregnancy. He did not want doctors to have to choose between saving a woman's life or violating restrictive laws.

What if, he pondered, a woman was in a vehicle accident that required her to be rushed to hospital for emergency surgery. If medical staff could not perform surgery until the father gave consent, the woman (along with fetus) could die.

What if the father was not to be found; or dead in a war; or denied paternity? 

The Supreme Court did not take into consideration all variables as to why a female might choose a doctor assisted early termination of pregnancies. President Obama was denied the right to choose a (right thinking) Supreme Court Justice. Those who denied him the right, were glad to bestow the right onto corrupt, con man #45. 

Today I read that #45 Junior claims that his papa was responsible for Supreme Court decision to set back women's rights 50 years ~ due to Obama poking fun of him for Birther Conspiracy. People liked to claim #45 was not a misogynist. Seeing as he got to appoint 3 SC justices, easy to see that he is.
