Bursting the Donald Trump Bubble


As reported by Howard Kurtz in his article for The Daily Beast titled The Trump Backlash Begins, it is the belief of the majority of media professionals that “by taunting the tycoon with jokes and taking out Osama, the president muscled Donald Trump out of the news. The Donald Trump steamroller got run off the road last week, and getting back on track may not be easy.  The wealthy developer surged to the top of the Republican polls with a bombastic media blitz that stunned the political pros, even as many scoffed at the notion that he is seriously running for president. Now he's been roughed up, ridiculed, and, for the moment, knocked out of the news”, but that is not what I see.

It was not the killing of Osama bin Laden that silenced Donald Trump, the first shot was the release of his full form birth certificate.  To understand what I mean, you have to understand Donald Trump.  A bully does not like to be bullied; evidence is his actions on “The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice Show”.  Someone who is used to getting his way does not take kindly to losing.  He was the media darling with his birth certificate lies until that long form hit the airwaves.  He was allowed to challenge this president without being challenged until the Correspondence Dinner.  His confidence about the fear he instills into those who crosses his path was shattered when President Obama hammered him in public.  He was sure that it would be okay to comment on others past until “there are signs over the last two weeks that news organizations are starting to step up their scrutiny of the Trump phenomenon. The Washington Post reported that the recently minted Republican has given 54 percent of his donations to Democrats, the cable station NY1 reported that Trump didn’t vote in primary elections for 21 years and after he claimed a high draft lottery number kept him out of Vietnam, the Smoking Gun website reported that Trump received a series of student deferments in college and a medical deferment after graduation.”  Classic proof of Mr. Trump not being used to the scrutiny that he likes to apply others is “the morning after being skewered at the dinner, Trump called Fox & Friends to say: “You raise to a certain level in the polls and boy does the world come after you… I had no idea it would be to that extent, where you know, it was just joke after joke after joke. It was almost like, is there anyone else they could talk about?”

Welcome to the big leagues Mr. Trump, you’re not in Kansas anymore.

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

Something to Think About Regarding These State’s Abortion Bans

  According to an article titled “The Conversation- A concise history of the US abortion debate, by Treva B. Lindsey, Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University, Published: June 10, 2019, https://theconversation.com/a-concise-history-of-the-us-abortion-debate-118157 . History has again been totally ignored and the lesson lost.   This being the case, it bears out the great need for educated people to finally diagnose history as it happens and make the necessary changes to ensure that this particular piece of history is not constantly repeated. Consider this, “While many may think that the political arguments over abortion now are fresh and new, scholars of women’s, medical and legal history note that this debate has a long history in the U.S.   It began more than a century before Roe v. Wade. As of 2019 “around 1962 the Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercially produced birth control pill, Enovid-10. Although various forms of b
