Banned Words …. “😱 Banning seven words …. #SayThe7 😱 …. “!!

~~January 22, 2018~~ 

DESTRUCTION OF WORDS

“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words,”

George Orwell writes in the fifth chapter of his dystopian novel, “1984.”

The White House is reportedly banning seven important words from its 2018 budget documents.

~SOURCE~

HuffPost Latino Voices

The seven targeted terms are:

“vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based” and “science-based.”

If the CDC were to avoid using all of them, it would squander limited resources, erode public trust in its actions and hobble its ability to carry out its central missions, the health specialists wrote.

In all, it would be committing at least seven “deadly sins” if those seven words or phrases were expunged from its documents, they wrote.

‘What About Us? …. “🌸🎼🌸 P!nk’s new Captivating, Mesmerizing Video …. The Song for The Times 🌸🎼🌸 …. “!!

~~August 28, 2017~~ 

WHAT ABOUT US?

I’ve heard this song playing on the radio.

It was’t until last night’s VMA Awards and today that I went searching for the video. P!nk has always had serious, impacting messages to share in her songs.

This is another example at a time when it’s most needed.

A protest song!

HortyRex©

“What About Us” is a song by American singer and songwriter Pink. It was written by P!nk, Steve Mac and Johnny McDaid, with production handled by Mac. The song was released through RCA Records on August 10, 2017, as the lead single from P!nk’s upcoming seventh studio album, Beautiful Trauma (2017).

“What About Us” is described as an emotional club ballad and dance floor anthem with pounding drums and an array of synthesizers. The song has also been described as a protest song.

Keith Olbermann, #110 …. “🙏🏽 Robert Mueller …. The Drumpf Resignation End-Game? 🙏🏽 …. “!!

~~August 22, 2017~~ 

TIME TO RESIGN

Once Mueller Closes in on Him and the Family

If he had any sense of self-worth, aside from the huge ego and the perception of the world he lives in, Drumpf would realize that the majority of the country didn’t vote for him, doesn’t want him and is totally embarrassed by him.

Then again, this would be in a normal world, the one we basically had before November 8, 2016, imperfect as it could have been.

HortyRex©

The ghostwriter of “The Art of the Deal” thinks Drumpf will eventually call it quits.
Tony Schwartz, the man behind Trump’s 1987 memoir, took to Twitter to vocalize his forecast for Drumpf’s political future.

“The circle is closing at blinding speed,” Schwartz tweeted. “Trump is going to resign and declare victory before Mueller and congress leave him no choice.”

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 #110.
The video speaks for itself.
If this resonates with you, good.
If it doesn’t, just scroll on to the next blog.
Thank you!

Stonewall Inn …. “Stonewall National Monument, newest addition to America’s national parks system …. The Legacy Endures …. “!!

~~June 28, 2017~~ 

ENDURING LEGACY

It is so comforting to hear this voice associated to the topic that President Obama is speaking about.

The tone, the sense of protection, the equanimity, the strength.

All that we need to go on. 

We must stand tall.

There’s no going back.

We will do so to honor those who came before us, for our generation and for the younger generation coming up.

We will do so also in gratitude to this amazing ally, President Obama!

Millions around the world took part in parades and marches in honor of National LGBTQ Pride Month, but these celebrations may not have been possible if not for a group of LGBTQ activists who 48 years ago stood up in a local New York bar and fought back against hate.

On June 28, 1969, when New York City police began again harassing LGBTQ patrons of the Stonewall Inn simply for congregating, those patrons decided they’d had enough. They began bravely fighting back against the consistent oppression and brutal intimidation they faced. From those early demonstrations grew a modern social movement determined to rid the nation of discrimination against all LGBTQ Americans.

Exactly one year later, the first Pride marches took place in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles to commemorate the anniversary of the historic stand against injustice at Stonewall.

The significance of the events at Stonewall, and their influence in shaping the national conversation surrounding LGBTQ equality in America, cannot be overstated. Last summer, then-President Obama acknowledged the historic contributions of the events of 1969 by designating the Stonewall Inn as the country’s first LGBTQ national monument, a place essential to telling the story of the LGBTQ community’s struggle for equality.

“We can’t rest, we gotta keep pushing for equality and acceptance and tolerance, but the arc of our history is clear,” said Obama.

“It’s an arc of progress and a lot of that progress can be traced back to Stonewall.”

The LGBTQ community hailed Obama’s announcement, which recognized what many consider the birthplace of the LGBTQ movement, providing a public acknowledgement of Stonewall’s much-deserved place in history.

Though Stonewall’s legacy is cemented in history, LGBTQ progress remains on shaky ground in the Drumpf Era

HRC takes inspiration from the brave members of our community who stood up for themselves – and all of us – at Stonewall, and remains committed to ensuring all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, are treated equality and with dignity under the law.

~~Announcing the Stonewall National Monument~~

~~Published on Jun 24, 2016~~

“I’m designating the Stonewall National Monument as the newest addition to America’s national parks system.

Stonewall will be our first national monument to tell the story of the struggle for LGBT rights. I believe our national parks should reflect the full story of our country – the richness and diversity and uniquely American spirit that has always defined us. That we are stronger together. That out of many, we are one.”

~President Barack Obama~

On June 24, 2016 President Obama designated the site of the Stonewall uprising and birthplace of the modern LGBT civil rights movement the “Stonewall National Monument.”

This new monument is a testament to the diversity, inclusiveness, and individual freedom that make America great.

The powerful advertisement features close-up shots of diverse Airbnb employees while a message states:

“We believe no matter who you are, where you’re from, who you love, or who you worship, we all belong. The world is more beautiful the more you accept.”

Given the controversy surrounding Drumpf’s immigration orders, this commercial is just what America needs right now.

Thoughts for today, #463 …. “Fluent …. Some Americans don’t understand the concept …. “!!

~~February 4, 2017~~ 

SPEAKING ENGLISH AND ANOTHER LANGUAGE

It seems that some Americans have a problem with people speaking another language besides English.

Somehow the idea that it is more helpful, not to say, a sign of higher educational level,

speaking a language besides English, in some areas in America, may be looked totally insulting.

I speak from personal experience.

I worked with the federal government for many years. I moved to Florida in 1999 and experienced this fact. Folks I worked with minded the times I spoke in Spanish, my main language.

Being fluent in both, I had to mispronounce my name so that Americans understood it.

It’s still the case to this day!

The Piano Guys …. “Our Statement on our Inauguration Performance …. “!!

~~January 17, 2017~~ 

THE PIANO GUYS AND ME

Those who have followed this blog must be aware that I have always been an ardent fan of The Piano Guys and their awesome music.

I have blogged plenty about them.

I have all their CDs. I have their sheet music.

I have some of their merchandise.

‘We haven’t changed who we are, what we stand for, or what our music means and why we write it.’

Yes, you have changed!

You have normalized something that is totally and completely wrong!

I’ve read your full statement. I respect your reasons and your decision. However, I can no longer follow you. I’ve enjoyed your music! I’ve been thrilled by your videos. I have shared all knowledge I posses about you. I’ve been on of your most ardent fans. In spite of your reasons, I’m very disappointed that you have decided to participate. It’s a real sad decision for me to ‘disconnect’ from you and your music.
Your music, your beliefs … are so elevated.

I really am very saddened by your decision.

“It brought tears to my eyes.”

Therefore, we part ways today!

(January 15, 2017)

The Piano Guys
Last night as I was kissing my daughter good night she asked me in an innocent, but tentative tone, “Daddy, why are people mad at you?”

It brought tears to my eyes.

I told her that I wish I could gather up everyone angry with the Piano Guys one by one and talk with them face to face. Hear their story. Empathize with their concerns, and mourn together so we could comfort each other. We, too, are distraught and despondent over how divisive this chapter in our nation’s politics has been. We, too, want what’s best for everyone in this country. Those of you who know us, know we grew up as “nerdy” musicians and we experienced bullying firsthand.

We abhor and decry bullying.

You know that we honor our relationships with our spouses more than anything else. You know we believe women are Divinely appointed to not only equality, but also respect and chivalrous deference. You know that in our history our ancestors were refugees, driven from their homes in fear for their lives. We emphatically embrace those now in the same situation. You know we believe in loving all people, regardless of gender, race, political affiliation, country of origin, or religious background.

You know we believe that differences are meant to be celebrated, not calculated.

If you know our music, you know that we painstakingly, prayerfully write and perform it with the intention to give it the greatest potential to lift others and break down barriers, not build them.

Many have asked why we are performing at the Inauguration.

To our friends who have felt disturbed by our involvement, we want you to know that this doesn’t lessen our gratitude for what you have done for us. Not one bit. We still feel indebted to you. We love you. You give our music wings! We sincerely hope and pray for your understanding. We don’t feel right limiting our positive message only to people that believe or act the same way we do. We haven’t changed our message. We haven’t changed who we are, what we stand for, or what our music means and why we write it. We’re still doing what we’ve always done – playing for anyone who will hear our musical message with the hope that it persuades its listeners to love others.

Something to think about …. “When they go low …. We go high …. “!!

~~January 11, 2017~~ 

MY PRESIDENT

‘Steady, As She Goes’

In nine days, President Barack Obama will become a private citizen after eight years of being the president of the United States of America.

He gave his farewell address last night, January 10.

There was no hint of hate, remorse or bitterness in spite of the experiences he had while serving the country.

He’s an example of dignity, decency, principles, caring, love and so much more.

I thank you!

I am proud of you as you served.

I am ashamed of the treatment you received from others.

Yet, you remained above it all.

“When they go low, we go high”

It’s always mentioned that you are the first African American president elected.

I’m going to note what I’ve always said:

You are half white!! 

They seemed to forget that!
