Things on Holly's mind.

Deborah Ramirez Have you ever been faced with a situation where someone keeps telling you that you can’t have something that you really want? I’m talking about as an adult, not a child. Well, it seems as though the Republicans are in that unenviable position right now. Yet another accuser, Deborah Ramirez, has come forward with some very disturbing accusations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh. And, for the second time in a week, the accuser is calling for an F.B.I. investigation. Now why would she ask to get the F.B.I. involved if she had made a false accusation? But Mitch, Chuck, Orange Boi and the boys seem to be digging in their heels for a fight. They flatly refuse to get the F.B.I. involved…WHY NOT? If you’re not familiar with the situation, let me give you the short version… The Orange Bloviating Blob (who is an accused sexual predator himself) nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the SCOTUS. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford accused him of attempted rape back when they we bo

Does anyone else get a feeling of déjà vu? I know that I’m not the only one that remembers the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill debacle. Now we have the Brett Kavanaugh/Christine Blasey Ford debacle. Yet the Republicans seem hell bent on pushing this… person’s nomination through. Ms. Hill’s allegations involved sexual harassment. Dr. Ford’s allegations involved sexual assault or more specifically, attempted sexual assault. I’m hearing a lot of grumbling about why she waited so long to come forward? Is she a paid, political operative planted to derail Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination? To that I respond by asking who in their right mind would subject themselves to the type of abuse that she undoubtedly would undergo? I doubt if there is enough money in the world to sign up for that. She simply said that she felt that is was her civic duty to come forward and share her story . Now I’m hearing that Kavanaugh is digging in for a fight and the Whitehouse will not be withdrawing his nominat

This whole story is incredibly sad.  They had Botham Jean’s funeral yesterday…  “To know Botham was to love Botham. He was the light in a dark room,” said pastor Michael Griffin, who met Jean at Dallas West Church of Christ. “Bo made us all better. Bo didn’t see color, he saw love.” (https://www.dallasnews.com) Not so coincidentally, and shortly after the funeral, an affidavit was released stating that the police were searching his apartment for drugs. Why was the Dallas Police Department executing a search warrant for drugs in his apartment. Then, I read that they found (or planted) a small amount of marijuana (pot, weed, happy cigs) Why is this even a thing? What I am seeking to understand is why you need to search a murder victim’s home for drugs in the first place? What are they looking to do, defame the young man’s character? He was an innocent victim. He was in his home, minding his own business until this lying “heffer” invaded his space and murdered him. Wh

HOW IN THEE ENTIRE HELL DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT YOU’RE IN SOMEONE ELSE’S APARTMENT?! Okay, full disclosure, I’ve come home from a night of partying and been pretty “messed up” but I knew where I lived. Officer Guyger told the authorities that she was exhausted. She said that she parked on the wrong floor. She said the door was unlocked and it was dark. She thought she had an intruder in her apartment so she fired a fatal shot and killed the man in the apartment that she had actually entered. This man was in his own home. He was not threatening her  in any way. But…the story keeps changing… The door was locked… the  door was unlocked… the door was ajar… really? I guess it took them three days to get their story straight. Hey folks, the story still doesn't make any sense. Now, it appears that they are engaging in some serious victim blaming. This is often the case when an innocent person of color is MURDERED by law enforcement. In this case however, they aren’t going to find anything

“ Fear ” is the title of Bob Woodward’s book and an ever present state of mind for those of us sane folks left in AmeriKKKa. The excerpts from Mr. Woodward’s book are terrifying. He talks of Senior White House Staffers preventing the Orange idiot, a.k.a., 45 from sending a tweet to North Korea that could have been interpreted as an act of aggression. Let that sink in folks… THIS MORON was one tweet away from starting World War III!!! This “man baby” has no idea in hell what he’s doing. Right now, 45 is more concerned about who wrote the New York Times Op-ed piece than running the country. I keep hearing this over and over again, what’s going to happen if we actually have a real crisis? George Bush had 911, Barack Obama had the financial crisis. We’ve already seen how this pseudo administration handles natural disasters. Over 3000 souls were lost in Puerto Rico and this idiot, 45, keeps talking about what a great job his administration did handling things. Wow… if that’s your id

Why are these damn fools so angry? They’re angry because Nike chose a winner, Colin Kaepernick, to be the face of their 30 th  Anniversary “ Just Do It ” ad campaign?  They have a right to their opinions and their feelings…(no matter how stupid they may be). But Nike is about winning and Kaep is a winner. I mean boycotting is your right as an American but setting some “ish” on fire that you paid for… That’s a special kind of STUPID. But it really shouldn’t surprise anyone. Prejudice, bigotry and hatred  is bred by ignorance. That Orange idiot , 45, has hijacked the entire conversation to spread racial bigotry, anger and division.  It’s NEVER BEEN ABOUT THE FLAG OR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM!!! It has always been about Black and Brown people being MURDERED in the streets and the folks that are supposed to be protecting us getting away with said MURDERS. So you geniuses keep burning and cutting up your Nike stuff. As far as I’m concerned, Colin Kaepernick is an American hero. And

Wow… So many thoughts… On the first day of the campaign for Governor of  the State of Florida, Mayor Gillum’s opponent, Ron DeSantis called him a monkey.   Of course he and his campaign spokespeople say he was referring to Mayor Gillum’s policies when he said that we can’t allow him to “ monkey things up .” What the hell is that? I’ve never heard of “monkey this up.” Is that even a thing? I don’t know why anyone is surprised. This man idolizes the bigot-in-chief, 45, the big cheeto… Check out what 45 had to say about Gillum’s historic win. The monkey comment definitely sounds like something 45 would say and then have his people get on television and lie about it. These folks are unbelievable. They aren’t even trying to hide their bigotry and vitriol anymore. Mayor Gillum had a classy response and even called out 45 to “holla at him” next time he had something to say. He said it wasn’t even a dog whistle, it was more like a bull horn. DeSantis was speaking directly to the Republ

Last night, the people of Florida nominated a black man, Andrew Gillum, to be the Democratic Candidate for Governor. Most of the polls didn't give this young brother a chance against the "establishment" candidate. Well, "the polls" weren't out meeting folks and talking to them and laying out his position on the issues that folks care about. They're calling it an upset. Why won't the media give Mayor Gillum credit for running an excellent campaign? It's as if it's just so far out of the realm of possibility that this young man could have the intelligence and charm to win that they have to call it an upset. Now it's up to the voters of Florida to bring it home in November. We cannot fall into the trap of running against 45. Mayor Gillum needs to continue what he's doing and run on the issues. His opponent, Ron DeSantis has made no secret of the fact that he's really, way far up 45's butt. While this is definitely an

We have lost a true Patriot in Senator John McCain. This article was going to look a whole lot different a few days ago. I was going to lead off with all the nonsense that's going on in the world right now but all that changed yesterday when Senator McCain passed away. Senator McCain was one of a kind. I make no secret of the fact that my opinions are left leaning but Senator McCain was not so radically partisan that he couldn't find a way to reach across the aisle and work with folks that he didn't agree with. I didn't agree with him ideologically but I am filled with admiration and respect for the man. Rest well sir, you will be missed. We have lost a voice of reason in all the turmoil. Speaking of turmoil... I literally have been trying to write this article for two or three days. Every time I was about to write the article, someone else was indicted, or granted immunity. Let's just say 45 had a really bad week last week. I refuse to call this idiot

The folks that voted for Trump (otherwise known as The Orange Blob with tiny baby hands) don’t give a good damn that he’s a racist, bloviated, incompetent moron. He’s their white savior who’s going to give them back THEIR country. You know the one they stole from the Indigenous People. I suppose when you’ve been in a position of superiority for centuries, you’re really not looking to give up that position. The folks that saw President Obama as a threat to their way of life, couldn’t wait to vote for the Orange Orangutan. And, some of the idiots say that they would vote for him again... I don't know why I expected anything different but you would think with all the turmoil that has happened in the last week it would "move the needle" but 45's approval rating has not gone down. It has remained steady. Two of his closest associates (Michael Cohen and Allen Weisselberg) since running for POTUS and ultimately stealing the election have been indicted or given im
