IOTD …. Image of the day, #403 …. “Simple …. a resounding NO”!!

THERE’S A LIMIT …. SAYING NO

I must set aside the light tone of the most recent IOTD.

I’d been trying for lighthearted images to go along the Christmas spirit and the holidays.

However, due to the most recent development from the Republican front-runner for the 2016 Presidency, I feel the need to say a few short words:

NO …. ENOUGH

The rest is up for you to find out and decide for yourself.

Earlier today, (December 7, 2015), the candidate currently leading in the polls for the Republican presidential nomination called for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” That was, of course, Donald Trump. As Jeffrey Goldberg just tweeted, “Donald Trump is now an actual threat to national security. He’s providing jihadists ammunition for their campaign to demonize the US.”

A Note on Trump: We Are No Longer Entertained

A dear blogger friend taught me this concept.

~IN HER OWN WORDS~

“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”

THIS IS VERY SERIOUS FOR ME

PLAIN RHETORIC AND PURE LIES

Donald Trump — the post-truth 2016 candidate

by CHUCK TODD, MARK MURRAY and CARRIE DANN

We’ve been around the political block long enough to know that almost all presidential candidates exaggerate, dissemble, take statements out of context and, yes, lie.

But from the start of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign (remember Mexican rapists?), he has taken this to a level we haven’t seen before in American politics.

Consider just these two examples from the weekend.

First, Trump said on Saturday in Alabama:

“I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering.”

In fact, as the New York Times writes, “No news reports exist of people cheering in the streets, and both police officials and the mayor of Jersey City have said that it did not happen. An Internet rumor about people cheering in the streets, which said it was in Paterson, not Jersey City, has been denied numerous times by city and police officials.” But when ABC pressed Trump on his statement, he stood his ground.

“It did happen. I saw it … It was on television. I saw it.”

Second, Trump retweeted a graphic claiming — falsely — that African Americans are responsible for the killing of most blacks and whites in America. “That is not true, the Washington Post notes. “According to data from the FBI, most whites are killed by whites, as most blacks are killed by blacks.

There’s an obvious reason for that: Most people are killed by someone they know.”

Facebook Timeline

I do not get it. I simply don’t. It’s not even a matter of which political party anyone is affiliated with or which beliefs anyone holds. I grew up in Puerto Rico, a colony of the United States but never the less “US land”. I was brought up thinking how great the US was …. as a country, as a leader, as an example to the world.

I cannot believe what I’m seeing and hearing now.

Any human with decreased number of brain cells can get what this “person” is doing and saying. There are no limits to his “statements”, nothing is off limits. He’s raised the “idiocy bar” so high that the other presidential hopefuls have no other option but to go along or even come back with more asinine statements. If they don’t, they will be left in his dust.

It’s true … this man isn’t an embarassment of this country. He’s an indictment of it.

I pity the United States of America.

(And I am an American citizen)

PROUD AND “FOS”

I’ve used this meme before. I totally think it states the truth

We ALL are ONE!! 

From The Mouth Of “Babes” …. “Sayeth the Delusional Prophet”!!

TO THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA … BE AWARE

The new series continues. Poking fun at politicians has always been a national past time. At this time, the seriousness of our reality may preclude the “fun” part … this are serious times we are living in.

So many of the memes coming through my timeline are great. I’m sure that when candidacies are announced, the primaries and the final 2016 election cycle is done, graphics like these will be getting better and better.

Get ready for the new series:

“From The Mouth Of Babes”!!

Michele Marie Bachmann (born April 6, 1956) is an American Republican and former member of the United States House of Representatives, who represented Minnesota’s 6th congressional district, a post she held from 2007 to 2015.

“As it appears in … “

She is no longer in the political arena.

So, why is she spouting off dooms day predictions related to California?

And, why are we still paying attention to her?

In this case, I couldn’t resist.

My political views? …. “Here they are exactly!”

~~April 16, 2015~~ 

LOOK BEYOND PARTY LINES

Those who follow “It Is What It Is” may have an idea about my essential political views. I tend to lean to the liberal aspect of life and the innate need for humans to be in service of those in need; to be the voice of the voiceless and to stand up for what should be considered correct and ethical. 

I found this graphic yesterday and it expresses perfectly my own personal beliefs and feelings about this thorny topic: politics.
