Aloha Everyone,

It’s been a hot minute since I have written on my blog. This is because I like to spend my time prepping material before I put it out in the public. Without further delay, let’s get cracking.

Anyone who watches the news or reads around there social media knows that the “Detention” Camps holding thousands of migrants who crossed our border are disgusting. The conditions are dire. In many cases people have no clean water to drink, a pot to piss in, and a bed to sleep in. It’s really hot in these “camps” and many people have been getting sick. Not to mention the lack of food they are getting, and when they do get some it lacks nutrition. 

My concern is what makes this different from a modern-day concentration camp. People are dying, starving, being separated from families. Not to mention the death of the children who were ripped out of their families lives. Many politicians have denounced this behavior and have even visited the “camps” to see how bad the conditions are. Every time a government official comes out of these “camps” the conditions get worse and worse. So much so that after I drafted the first version of this essay, I had to rewrite it to make it current. WTF. To add more salt to the wound, here is a tweet Donald J. Trump( I still don’t want to call him president it makes me barf) wrote stating what he thinks. 

"If Illegal Immigrants are unhappy with the conditions in the quickly built or refitted detentions centers, just tell them not to come. All problems solved!" 

The falsities in this sentence are beyond me. First things first, these places were never quickly built in fact most of them were already standing.  The fact that he literally says nothing about the conditions themselves, but uses this tweet to make an example out these innocent human beings is EVIL. Moving on to the next tweet(yes, there is more).

“.....came from, and in far safer conditions. No matter how good things actually look, even if perfect, the Democrat visitors will act shocked & aghast at how terrible things are. Just Pols. If they really want to fix them, change the Immigration Laws and Loopholes. So easy to do! “

Soooo... Yeah, this one makes my head spin. He is now using his deny, deny, tells a lie, and then deny so more tactic. The phrase before the first period is one that is simple but has many different motives. “.....came from, and in far safer conditions.”; basically he’s is saying, even though they are getting sick, dying, starving, and babies are being separated, at least they are in America. He might as well say that they should feel privileged to e treated like zoo animals. Second phrase: “No matter how good things actually look, even if perfect, the Democrat visitors will act shocked & aghast at how terrible things are.” This statement contradicts itself from beginning to end. He is clearly stating to people who believe him that, ‘Hey, they are making this up. There are no bad conditions. In fact, it’s near perfect there.’ Now the fact that at the end of this phrase he says, “...will act shocked & aghast at how terrible things are.”, how can things be terrible if they are near perfect Sir. Which one is it, make up your mind. And to top, he used the Democrats as a scapegoat in his latest episode of “Fake News”. 

So here is the segway into the conclusion of this much-needed breakdown. Again, don’t trust Trump. But look at his tweets from a different perspective. Less of false statements and more of hidden truths. Think about what he is hiding not what he is saying. 

As for the deplorable conditions in the Detention Camps, send things to your representatives about your feelings. Maybe, you can send them ideas for legislation to make all this inhuman behavior to STOP. Continue to post on the conditions and the innocent people living in them.

Next time on Nevertheless, She Wrote, I will be writing about the crisis in Sudan. The urgent help the citizens need, and how you can spread awareness.

So not to get political, but I ‘m getting Political.

     I have nothing to lose when saying this since I don’t have a big following. 

Over the past few months, crazy things have been happening in our political ecosystem. I have very liberal views, but I respect everyone’s opinions so feel free to share after reading. 

Since February of 2019, there has been a stark shift in politics. Many people who don’t follow politics could get easily confused just trying to follow this American mess! I for one, find it hard not to yell at the television. The fact that I get stressed about the future more than people in the Senate, Congress, and White House is absolutely MESSED up. I’m only 16, I shouldn’t be picking up the pieces of past generations. I am supposed to be focusing on building up my generation. Here are some issues that bug me. 

1. Climate change is REAL!!

2. Gun control needs to be taken into account NOW!

3. The cost of college should not equal two houses and a car. PERIOD!

4. Why is it that I need a job to get health care, it should just be available! 

5. Immigrants made this country, slaves built this country, and Native American cultivated the land. If we still want an America, we should appreciate them and not take away their hard work.

Okay, back to the actual reason I’m writing this. We need more people who are for the people by the people. No lobbyists, and money hungry men who collude with foreign entities to get ahead in life. We need women, people of color, and more young people. I am so tired of young people being told that our opinion doesn’t matter, but what does matter is once you all have retired and gone on your Hampton vacations, we will soon be the ones picking up your mess. 

So here is my plea! Listen to young people, listen to Bernie Sanders, listen to Elizabeth Warren, listen to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. When you have people like Moderate Joe Biden, running for the primaries don’t think that there aren’t more capable, more respectable Democrats.  I would also like to hear Joe Biden apologize for his comments during Anita Hill’s hearing. Those comments disregarded black womanhood and we are still facing those effects.
