Obama Sends Final Budget Proposal To Congress

President Obama has not disappointed me in the least during his second term, he hasn’t acted as a lame duck president, not at all, and we should be grateful to him for the respect shown by him to the Office and the Seal. His budget is a reflection of his values, so we shouldn’t be shocked what is in the document, which is an extension of his moral compass. It pains me to know that no matter how…

Live from New York: Happy New Year’s!!!!

             Happy New Year’s to all of my family and friends, on FaceBook and WordPress, I hope this New Year will bring all of you much health and happiness. 

New York is a balmy 48 degrees, magical and vibrant, the energy humming everywhere, good cheer emanating from the Holiday season, it’s one of my favorite times of year to explore the city. 

As my husband and I are walking hand in hand…

365 days of posts. Thanks for ‘sticking with me’. Happy 2016 to you all.

How A Prosecutor Managed To Blame A 12-Year-Old For Getting Killed By A Cop

It would be ideal to be able to say “let’s examine each case individually” but we can’t and why do I say this? Each time I read about another African-American shot dead by the police, I have read many other stories of white individuals armed and dangerous being brought in, alive and well. If there wasn’t any prejudice, how do you explain this blatant discrepancy between white assailants alive and…

      This morning we woke up to sleet, snow and freezing rain. You should have heard the local weather people, they were beyond panicked, it was weather every five minutes all through the early morning hours. I wasn’t worried about it, we had an early appointment with the radiologist oncologist, 8:00 a.m, I knew that driving slow and steady would get us there without trouble. We were only ten…

5 Ways Democratic Socialism Isn’t What You Think

Words and definitions are important, however we should also examine Bernie Sanders record. I would argue from what I have read about his tenure as Mayor of Burlington, Bernie went beyond the labels and governed practically, capably and compassionately, he was one of the most successful mayors Burlington had had in a long time. If we examine his record during his terms as representative, he won…

Manhattan skyline and cheesecake

        I tried taking the view of the skyline from the Amtrak train last night as my son and I were heading back north, an iPad doesn’t have the technical capabilities to do the shot justice, but the colors were pretty so I am posting my pictures anyway. While we were away my husband was spoiling our two cousins, John and Stephen, with an added feature, brand new, to the cheesecake, fresh…
