WE have A Dream.

RITE THIS YEAR OFF

Did you ever see that episode of Seinfeld where they talk about having a Do-over? I wish we could have a do-over not just this year but 2016 also...I usually watch the reruns of Seinfeld but no more not after reading this:
Bannon—who has given voice to racist, sexist, anti-Semitic and nationalist views through Breitbart—owns a stake in Seinfeld after negotiating the sale of Castle Rock Entertainment to Ted Turner under his firm Bannon & Co., long before he became executive chairman of Breitbart News or joined Trump’s campaign.

NOPE sorry Jerry, Unless you can somehow undo that I won't be watching.  Did you see Julia Louis-Dreyfus at the DNC? She was awesome in her authenticity and  honesty about how she feels about Donald...and she was very funny too. 
 AND this...I have never cared for Major League Sports.  I have attended and enjoyed Minor League Baseball.  Of all the Major League sports basketball to me is the MOST boring sport every created as a spectator sport...I know it's fun to play as we played in High school I was not on a team, but we played group sports in my Gym class...so we would split up into teams and learned to play basketball, softball, tennis, and soccer! We also did gymnastics, trampoline, track and field, and lots of sit ups and exercise on the slick gym floor... tumbling, you name it we did it!! Our gym teacher was serious!!

But watching basketball is BORING....so the NBA has never been of interest to me...today I applaud the members for using their platform and their influence to make change in this country.  I think the way the NFL handled the "taking a knee" was outrageous.  THIS is how it should have been handled and if it had been, then maybe some people who have died since then would be alive today...here is what the NBA did: First they WALKED OUT of the playoff games.
then they came to the table and created:

A Social Justice Coalition!

1. The NBA and its players have agreed to immediately establish a social justice coalition, with representatives from players, coaches and governors, that will be focused on a broad range of issues, including increasing access to voting, promoting civic engagement, and advocating for meaningful police and criminal justice reform.

2. In every city where the league franchise owns and controls the arena property, team governors will continue to work with local elections officials to convert the facility into a voting location for the 2020 general election to allow for a safe in-person voting option for communities vulnerable to COVID. If a deadline has passed, team governors will work with local elections officials to find another election-related use for the facility, including but not limited to voter registration and ballot receiving boards.

3. The league will work with the players and our network partners to create and include advertising spots in each NBA playoff game dedicated to promoting greater civic engagement in national and local elections and raising awareness around voter access and opportunity.

"These commitments follow months of close collaboration around designing a safe and healthy environment to restart the NBA season, providing a platform to promote social justice, as well as creating an NBA Foundation focused on economic empowerment in the Black community.

"We look forward to the resumption of the playoffs and continuing to work together - in Orlando and in all NBA team markets - to push for meaningful and sustainable change." 

THAT is a step in the right direction wouldn't you say? NOW the other Major League Sport Franchises,,,,and let us not forget these are business'es for profit!! ALL of them need to follow this lead.  We have to come together to create change...if we don't then things will get worse.  The cops will continue to think they can get away with murder as long as they DO GET AWAY WITH IT...but if We stop them they have no choice! 

Yesterday Thousands marched to DC the day after a corrupt Leader used the White House Grounds owned by ME and all other American Citizens to spread his hate of ME and all of the people like ME  who are not in his party, for his own Political advantage and to show his disdain for people who think like I do...or so he thinks...it only made me despise him more!!  He makes it clear he is only working for the ones who VOTE for him.  That is an attempt to create a society of One...not many. That in and of itself is communism. A party of ONE.  Yet its he who keeps saying the Dems want communism....


Apr 29, 2019 - Communism is a political and economic ideology that positions itself in opposition to liberal democracy and capitalism, advocating instead a classless system in which the means of production are owned communally and private property is nonexistent or severely curtailed.

...yet  candidate Biden clearly said he wants to include all and be understanding to all...Donald doesn't  say that he says it's "ME or Them". I'm about to dust off my flag I  found it yesterday tucked away in my shed.  You're going down Donald, and hopefully so is your party!

AUG 28, 1963 Freedom March Day
Okay so the march was in celebration of the same march led by Dr ML King when he made his famous speech...he would have the right words to help us at this time same as he did at that time.  I hope Donald looked out of MY white house window and saw all those marchers and understands they ARE not with HIM. They are never Trumpers!! 
Their application for the march said they expected 50,000 I'd say they had that and then some! Watch out Trump will steal the footage and use it to photoshop into one of his rallies to make it look like has black support. 

The theme of the day was VOTE...that means vote the Donald OUT...vote for a better man to come in...NO I didn't vote for Biden in the primaries, I voted for Tom Steyer! He had a very aggressive platform but I can see how no swing voter would come that far left so I get it...I honestly do, so Im coming back toward the center to support Joe.  IF I can do it so can someone on the opposing party...none of us will get exactly what we want but lets us each get something. 


So in other news Jimmy's home he was super happy when he got out of the car and was in his back yard...there is lots of eye drops, medicines, shots, and anxiety for my sis now but I think she can  handle it...my other sis is helping her out and I am so hopeful he will have good vision in a couple weeks when the drops can stop and the healing begins. 

I got 2 trees to plant so I need to get at it.


Change begins with you....if I could go back in time to change the path of my life I'd go back to 1997.
