Things on Holly's mind.

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 t...

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...
