Keith Olbermann, #131 …. “🇵🇷 The Roots of Drumpf’s Prejudice 🇵🇷 …. How Deep they Run …. “!!
~~October 7, 2017~~
ROOTS OF PREJUCIDE
DRUMPF HATES PUERTO RICANS BECAUSE THEY TOOK OVER NEW YORK
Many of you know that Puerto Rico is my country.
I was born and raised there. I didn’t move to the U.S. of A. until 1999.
I left the Island because I managed to transfer to Jacksonville to continue to work with the federal government.
Both my Mom and Dad met in New York City and married there in the early 1930’s.
When I told my Dad about my transfer to Florida, he was happy for me and concerned, at the same time. He told me that prejudice was rampart and everywhere. I didn’t get his concern. Why should I be worried? I’m an American citizen.
Puerto Rico is part of the United States.
After watching this video, my Dad’s concerns came back to me. Here is part of the explanation. I assume that while in New York City, during the 1930’s, he was a recipient of it. I recall that Puerto Ricans were known as ‘spics‘ … a derogatory name stemming from the fact that Boricuas pronounced ‘speak’ as ‘spic’.
“I don’t ‘spic’ English!”
That was it.

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 #131.
The video speaks for itself.
If this resonates with you, good.
If it doesn’t, just scroll away to the next blog.

IOTD …. “Image of the Day …. Special Edition …. 48 years ago today …. Historic Uprising at Stonewall Inn …. “!!
~~June 28, 2017~~
STONEWALL UPRISING
~HONORING THOSE BRAVE SOULS WHO CAME BEFORE ME~
I was a teenager at this time.
I was barely 18 going on 19.
I wasn’t sure about my sexuality yet I knew I was different. I was living in Puerto Rico and cut away from these happenings in New York.
With time, I have come to learn about the importance of this uprising and I honor those who came before me and cleared the way that allowed me to accept and cherish my sexuality and live a fulfilling life, the way I am …
for I was born this way!

Forty-eight years ago today, New York City police began harassing LGBTQ patrons of the Stonewall Inn simply for congregating, those patrons decided they’d had enough.
~Human Rights Campaign~
The Stonewall Riots (also referred to as the Stonewall Uprising or the Stonewall Rebellion) were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay (LGBT) community against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn, located in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.
They are widely considered to constitute the single most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBT rights in the United States.

A Puerto Rican Moment …. “It Happens …. Bandera, Pava & Machete …. PR symbols …. “!!
~~March 27, 2017~~
“PUERTO RICAN-NESS”
These are very recognizable symbols of the Puerto Rican people.
The ‘pava‘ is the straw hat used by the ‘campesinos‘ while working the sugar cane fields using their ‘machetes‘.
The Puerto Rican flag is the utmost symbol of our Island.
The ‘mono-estrellada‘ … one star only.
The Statue of Liberty is also a very important symbol to the Puerto Rican diaspora.
Many Puerto Ricans moved to New York in search of a better life,
(my parents included in the 1930’s).
All memories etched in my mind, heart and soul!

Something to think about …. “Where is the $$ going? …. Are you OK with this? …. “!!

LIFESTYLE OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS
The Drumpf family, including sons Eric and Don, have always traveled all over the world on business. Now that they run the Drumpf business interests and must have Secret Service protection, it costs money to protect them.
Melania and son Barron stay most of the time in the family’s New York City apartment while the ten-year-old finishes up school. It costs money to protect them there. The family travels to their place in Palm Beach, Florida, and Drumpf’s talking about retreats at his New Jersey Drumpf golf course.
That’s the way they’ve always lived their lives.
Protecting the president isn’t easy or cheap, and according to estimates from The Washington Post, the cost to protect Drumpf and his family is on track to supersede the cost to protect former president and his family by hundreds of millions of dollars.

New York Times … “Airs Commercial Promising Truth in the Time of Drumpf During Oscars …. 2017 …. “!!
~~February 27, 2017~~
THE TRUTH IS HARD
“The truth is more important now than ever.”
The ad is only 30 seconds long.
Words have strength and convey meaning and reality.
So much meaning compressed in 30 seconds.
Take a look!

“The Truth Is Hard” is the newspaper’s first television commercial since 2010
Drumpf’s Tweet
For first time the failing @nytimes will take an ad (a bad one) to help save its failing reputation. Try reporting accurately & fairly!
6:42 AM – 26 Feb 2017
Unfortunately, the ‘so-called president‘ seems to have missed some of the truth.
Just as “overrated” actress Meryl Streep received a standing ovation at the Oscars, the Times has reported increased subscriptions and is not, actually failing.

The New Yorker’s Next Cover Features Lady Liberty with Her Light Snuffed Out
“It was the symbol of American values.
Now it seems that we are turning off the light.”
The New Yorker has revealed the cover for its upcoming issue which will feature an image of Lady Liberty with her flame extinguished, a powerful illustration that comes amid the continued fallout from Drumpf’s executive order banning refugee resettlement and travel from seven Muslim-majority countries.

THE NEW COLOSSUS
I have no words that can equal or better what is written below.
I’m sharing them with you!

~The Story Behind the Statue of Liberty’s Famous Immigration Poem~
In the wake of Drumpf’s executive order on immigration Friday, January 27, many critics quickly took up a familiar rallying cry, lifting words from the Statue of Liberty that have for decades represented American immigration:
“Give me your tired, your poor/Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
The poem, in its entirety
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles.From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips.“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”~Emma Lazarus~

IOTD …. Image of the Day …. Special Edition …. “-OTUS …. acronyms began as telegraph codes …. “!!
~~January 9, 2017~~
‘OTUS’
-OTUS, the shortened version of the phrase “of the United States,” was an unlikely addition to our language, as it is both a suffix and an acronym (or, if you prefer, an initialism). Yet this collection of letters has managed to be quite successful.
We began using -OTUS in the late 19th century, and we’re still finding new ways to use it today.
‘POTUS‘ began as an abbreviation used by telegraphic code operators in the 1890’s.
It stands for “President of the United States.”
“As it appears in … full read/full credit”
https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/scotus-potus-flotus
In my very humble and insignificant opinion, this man isn’t deserving of the term POTUS.
It’s too big a ‘title’ to fit him in spite of the huge ego and the amazing combinations of negative characteristics which define him.
In my world he will always be BLOTUS!

“A day that will live in infamy ….”
Never thought there would be another day like that!
The whole world was going about its business that day.
Tragedy struck mid morning.
Reality was changed forever.
The wound is healed, the scars and memories remain, lives go on.
This is a picture that says a thousand words.

I hear a song and that song evokes an emotion and that emotion in me helped in the creation of this tribute video.
While I wish all of the images were high resolution …. some images of that day were caught with low quality equipment and the images I chose all seemed to fit with how I was feeling. I witnessed the events of this day like many of us did and it changed me forever.
It will always feel fresh in my mind and feel like it happened yesterday. Having experienced such a tragic day …. your outlook on so many world events changes.
It is amazing how divided the world seems right now but how unified we all were after the events of 9/11….
