Shattered: Four Takeaways

May 2, 2017

  *This post has affiliate links.  It was a challenge to read Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign, and fight back the feeling of Monday Morning Quarterback. Even though I knew the outcome (life in a Trump Administration) Authors Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes tell the story in a fresh and compelling way.    I […]

About Last Night: Election 2016 is a Wrap

FEDERAL AND LOCAL OFFICES UP FOR ELECTION IN 2016: STATE REPRESENTATIVE

November 3, 2016

This election cycle has been odious. I have cast a vote in every election save 1999 when I didn’t give a damn WHO was on the ballot. This year the top of the ticket is Bad and Worse. Pundits have projected that turnout will be low because of the lack of excitement these two elicit.  […]

I Took The Boy to See Donald Trump

November 1, 2016

I Took The Boy to See Donald Trump and Immediately Regretted It The invitation to meet Donald Trump was no surprise. Afterall, I am an African-American female Republican in a predominantly Democratic neighborhood. The invitation was from a group of women I have spent time with in the past, women a little more progressive than […]
