FOUND TONIGHT

HamilDrop: Ben Platt & Lin Manuel Miranda Mashup “Found Tonight”

FOR THE KIDS

Found Tonight with Lin Manuel Miranda and Ben Platt and all of Troupe 10036

I’m an ardent fan.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is an amazing talent.

His Puerto Rican roots make it even more significant for me.

He has shown immense interest in social causes.

Benjamin Schiff Platt (born September 24, 1993) is an American actor and singer known for originating the role of the title character in the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen, a performance for which he has won numerous awards.

Here you have two amazing talents joined for a common cause for the future of the children of this nation.

The heart-stopping anthem released on Monday,  March 19, by Lin Manuel Miranda and Ben Platt to celebrate the “March For Our Lives” gun violence prevention actions this weekend needs no introduction, only some background.

The three-minute song, “Found Tonight,” mashes up Miranda’s “Story Of Tonight” from his smash musical “Hamilton” and the song “You Will Be Found,” from Platt’s star turn in “Dear Evan Hansen,” by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

This means the song draws from one story about teenage revolutionaries, and another about teens triumphing over despair.

The song begins with a rewritten line from “Hamilton” – instead of “we may not live to sing our glory,”

Platt sings, “we may not yet have reached our glory.”

All the proceeds from downloads of the song go to “March For Our Lives,” a gun violence prevention demonstration that will take place on March 24 in Washington DC.

Platt’s extraordinary gift for vulnerability and vocal sublimity are on display here, as is Miranda’s once-in-a-generation passion.

Ashley Judd …. “✊🏽 Incredibly Fiery Speech at the Women’s March, Washington, DC ✊🏽 …. “!!

NASTY WOMAN

~~WOMEN’S MARCH ON WASHINGTON~~

JANUARY 2017

The current climate in the nation isn’t healthy. Ugly spots and sores are coming out. Women are telling their stories of abuse, powerlessness, harassment, assault at the hands of men who have a position of power in their lives, careers and government. It’s all coming out and the results aren’t pretty.

I’m including the full scrip to make sure you don’t miss one word.

It’s perfect for this moment in time.

“My name is Ashley Judd and I am a feminist.

And I want to say hello to Independence Avenue in the back, all the way down to 17th Street, and I bring you words from Nina Donovan, a 19-year-old in Middle, Tennessee.

She has given me the privilege of telling you what she has to say:

“I am a nasty woman. I’m as nasty as a man who looks like he bathes in Cheetos dust. A man whose words are a distract to America. Electoral college-sanctioned, hate-speech contaminating this national anthem. I’m not as nasty as Confederate flags being tattooed across my city. Maybe the South actually is going to rise again. Maybe for some it never really fell. Blacks are still in shackles and graves, just for being black. Slavery has been reinterpreted as the prison system in front of people who see melanin as animal skin. I am not as nasty as a swastika painted on a pride flag, and I didn’t know devils could be resurrected but I feel Hitler in these streets. A mustache traded for a toupee. Nazis renamed the Cabinet Electoral Conversion Therapy, the new gas chambers shaming the gay out of America, turning rainbows into suicide. I am not as nasty as racism, fraud, conflict of interest, homophobia, sexual assault, transphobia, white supremacy, misogyny, ignorance, white privilege … your daughter being your favorite sex symbol, like your wet dreams infused with your own genes.

Yeah, I’m a nasty woman – a loud, vulgar, proud woman.

“I am not nasty like the combo of Trump and Pence being served up to me in my voting booths. I’m nasty like the battles my grandmothers fought to get me into that voting booth. I’m nasty like the fight for wage equality. Scarlett Johansson, why were the female actors paid less than half of what the male actors earned last year. See, even when we do go into higher paying jobs our wages are still cut with blades sharpened by testosterone. Why is the work of a black woman and a Hispanic woman worth only 63 and 54 cents of a white man’s privileged daughter? This is not a feminist myth.

This is inequality. So we are not here to be debunked. We are here to be respected. We are here to be nasty.

“I am nasty like my bloodstains on my bed sheets. We don’t actually choose if and when to have our periods. Believe me if we could some of us would. We do not like throwing away our favorite pairs of underpants. Tell me, why are pads and tampons still taxed when Viagra and Rogaine are not? Is your erection really more than protecting the sacred messy part of my womanhood? Is the bloodstain on my jeans more embarrassing than the thinning of your hair?

“I know it is hard to look at your own entitlement and privilege. You may be afraid of the truth. I am unafraid to be honest. It may sound petty bringing up a few extra cents. It adds up to the pile of change I have yet to see in my country. I can’t see. My eyes are too busy praying to my feet hoping you don’t mistake eye contact for wanting physical contact. Half my life I have been zipping up my smile hoping you don’t think I want to unzip your jeans.

I am unafraid to be nasty because I am nasty like Susan, Elizabeth, Eleanor, Amelia, Rosa, Gloria, Condoleezza, Sonia, Malala, Michelle, Hillary!

“And our pussies ain’t for grabbing.

There for reminding you that our walls are stronger than America’s ever will be. Our pussies are for our pleasure. They are for birthing new generations of filthy, vulgar, nasty, proud, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, you name it, for new generations of nasty women. So if you a nasty woman, or you love one who is, let me hear you say, hell yeah.”

Carmen Yulín Cruz, Mayor of San Juan …. “🇵🇷 Comes to Washington, DC 🇺🇸 …. “!!

~~November 2, 2107~~

CARMEN YULIN CRUZ

~MAYOR OF SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO~

IT TAKES A WOMAN

I wasn’t aware of this government official in Puerto Rico until after Hurricane María when I saw her Facebook and Twitter postings, when I saw her pictures of wading in waist deep water, carrying a bullhorn, trying to check on her constituents.

It seemed to me that in additions to speaking for the people of San Juan, she was standing up and representing all the people of the Island.

I knew there was a male governor and remembered wondering where he was.

I had been disconnected from the politics in my country for a long time, didn’t know much but general details.

Needless to say, she’s made quite the impression on me. I have heard that she has plenty of detractors and critics. I have started following Ms. Cruz and have immense respect, appreciation and admiration for her. To me, she has become the champion for the people of Puerto Rico.

Many say that she’s doing all of this because she wants to run for governor on 2020.

In my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, she would be a considerable contender, in spite of what anyone else says to the contrary.

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz to Drumpf: You Can’t Handle the Truth
by SUZANNE GAMBOA

WASHINGTON, DC

Denied her chance to testify before Congress Wednesday, November 1, the mayor of Puerto Rico’s largest city used a Capitol hallway to heap criticism on ‘so-called President’ Drumpf, saying he “can’t handle the truth.”

Six weeks since the monstrous hurricane hit the island, San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz said the island remains in a “life or death” situation.

“The Drumpf administration can’t handle the truth,” she said, adding that “survival cannot be our new way of life.”

Cruz was supposed to testify Wednesday, November 1, before the House Committee on Homeland Security, but the hearing was abruptly canceled. Cruz got news of the cancellation after she had already headed to Washington. Brock Long, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency testified on Tuesday.

“I am here to say what I was going to say at that hearing, that they seemed not to want to hear,” she said. “Mr. Trump, do your job. Lives are at stake. This is not about politics. This is not about your ego. This is about the people of Puerto Rico and the people of the U.S. VI (Virgin Islands).”

Ticking off a list of demands, Cruz said the administration needs to treat Puerto Rico with dignity and suspend the Jones Act for four years. The law restricts shipping to the island to U.S. ships with U.S. crews.

Puerto Rico needs a comprehensive “reform” and “restoration” plan that “touches on energy and education and health care, but it can’t be a plan that takes us back to the 1950’s,” she said.

“No longer will we be able to hide inequality and poverty behind palm trees and piña coladas,” she said.

Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley, D-New York, organized the news conference, which was held after the caucus met. He was joined by Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who is the ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee and other Democrats.

THE INFAMOUS MEETING WITH THE RUSSIANS

It seems to me that this apple doesn’t fall far from the ‘tree’.

Don’t know which of them is more stupid than the other.

I think it’s a case of ‘dumb and dumber’.

#TweedledeeAndTweedledum

~DONALD JUNIOR MESSED UP~

The discovery of Donald Drumpf Jr.’s controversial meeting with Russians in June 2016 has turned up the existence of interesting phone calls the ‘so-called president’’s son had with a Russian go-between after getting an invitation to meet on opposition research they supposedly had on Hillary Clinton.

In sum, the June 2016 meeting has become the focal point, at least for now, of investigation into possible cooperation between the Russians and the Drumpf campaign and into obstruction of that investigation, which if Donald Drumpf Jr. testified falsely, continues to the present.

And let’s not forget that both of those lines of inquiry require investigation of Drumpf’s finances.

I feel this is important information about what is happening in the Republican Administration lead by Drumpf and what we need to be aware of.
Keith Olbermann series called “The Resistance” continues.
He has posted installment #120.
The video speaks for itself.
If this resonates with you, good.
If it doesn’t, just scroll away to the next blog.

Ashley Judd’s EPIC “Nasty Woman” Speech …. “Women’s March, Washington, DC …. “!!

~~January 26, 2017~~ 

NINA DONOVAN’S POEM

I’ve always loved this woman.

Guess I love her more now.

I saw this video during the weekend and it really left and impression.

Just think … a 19 years old girl from Tennessee wrote these words!

There’s hope for the new generation.

Take a look!

HortyRex©

Michael Moore was in for a surprise during the Women’s March on Washington on Saturday when Ashley Judd interrupted him to read a politically charged poem

“I am Ashley Judd,” she declared as Moore reacted in shock, “and I am a feminist.”

She proceeded to recite a poem written by a 19-year-old named Nina Donovan from Tennessee. The contents of the writing included references to Trump’s election, mass incarceration, LGBT rights, the wage gap, and more relevant issues.

At one point, the poem compares Trump to Adolf Hitler.

The poem repeated the refrain “I am not as nasty as…”

at one point attacking Trump’s relationship with his daughter, Ivanka.

“I’m not as nasty as your daughter being your favorite sex symbol,” Judd said.

INAUGURATION CROWD SIZE

The truth about the size of the crowd at Mr. Drumpf’s inauguration seems to be in dispute.

To those of use who live in the real world, have a functional brain and functional eyes, there’s no doubt.

Those who live in an ‘alternate reality’ come up with ‘alternative facts’.

In other words: PLAIN OLE LIES!!

~Comparing Inaugural Crowd Sizes~

Washington (CNN)

He campaigned on the huge crowd sizes, but the turnout for the inauguration of President Donald Trump appears to be smaller than that of his predecessor as measured by side-by-side photos of the two events.
It’s hard to gauge crowd sizes and the National Park Service, which oversees the National Mall, doesn’t offer estimates of any sort.
But the side-by-side images of Friday’s ceremony alongside the 2009 inauguration of President Barack Obama show a significantly smaller crowd on the National Mall for Trump than for Obama.

There is empty ground exposed in the Trump photos.

On January 20, 2017, President Barack Obama complete two full terms as President of the United States.

There was a ‘peaceful transfer of power‘ at noontime.

He took his final ride on the presidential helicopter and looked back.

“I sure hope it’s still standing when I come back to Washington after my vacation.”

Thoughts for today, #247 ….Pope Francis: “Will spend time with D.C.’s most vulnerable”!!

~~September 24, 2015~~ 

AN EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW

After addressing Congress, Pope Francis will eat his meal with the homeless
by Walter Einenkel

Francis will make by going directly to lunch with homeless people rather than with his congressional hosts after his speech on Capitol Hill will resonate on both sides of the aisle.

“He is a walking, talking parable,” said Carr. “This is a Pope who looks at the world from the bottom up and from the outside in. I think he brings to Congress and the White House a different perspective than they are used to hearing.”

The parable is clear. Pope Francis speaks to one of the most powerful groups of people in the world and then has dinner with the most invisible people in the world. There’s also something even more profound in it. By connecting this meal directly to his speech in front of Congress, he’s drawing a parallel to the Pharisees. A connection that no one wants made to them (regardless of your religious predilections).
