When they go low, we go high.

This wallpaper and I almost fought a duel to point of death, to take over on my phone and laptop screen saver space, but I had to give up very easily because these beautiful words come from one of the most inspirational people in my life. President Obama you are a very blessed man, no wonder you immediately proudly tweeted: “incredible speech by an incredible woman.Couldn't be more proud and our country has been blessed to have her as FLOTUS.I love you, Michelle”. Michelle Obama stole the show, rather perfectly it turns out—and then there was Sen.Booker,they certainly had to be prime speakers, leave alone for Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Bernie Sanders who never minces words when it comes to putting Donald Trump in his place.

I have waited for this day, almost very impatiently, until it dawned—it was a very rewarding night for me here in Uganda after the continuous and disastrous bigotry from the Trump camp. I must say with pride that if there is anything that reveals the greatness of America, it is the eloquence in the words of the speakers on the very first day: we are stronger together, Hillary Clinton must be the next President, and we will do everything we can. I must say that everyone who took that platform was crystal clear painting the picture very vividly on the lame rhetoric offered by the bigoted Donald Trump that America isn’t great—and he alone can make it great again, building stupid walls(as Sen. Warren noted) and insulting every living thing that disagrees with his divisive and crass hateful remarks.

Sen Cory Booker speaking at the Convention
In the recent article where I talked about the veep pick, I profoundly cited the veep-pick very rich list of highly quailed candidates the Clinton Campaign. I must say that Sen. Cory Booker is proof positive that indeed the team is just magnificent. He was clear with the words, ‘we can’t be seduced by cynicism’, over to you Donald Trump—that’s your word salad and you have no escape route, and you have earned it. It is not even just scary anymore that the very existential threat to the greatness of America (who ignorantly claims it is not great) continues to lose some American illiterate voters—that’s terribly worrisome, and this is because with the kind of the growing bigotry groupie, even when Hilary wins in November (which she will), they will still be a threat to the Peace: President Obama the other day soundly put it accurately, I will leave it here.

Sen Bernie Sanders speaking at the Convention
A lot has been said about Mrs. Clinton being the most qualified, to most intelligent and certainly the president that will keep the Obama Legacy intact—whiles progressively improving on the areas that are still lacking. I find everything that absolutely true. She is a class act and we know this so well from the very facts that she has been witch-hunted almost her entire political life but she is always a winner through and through. Just a few days ago, the bromance between Putin and Donald Trump led to the wikileaks, a Moscow-led campaign to negatively affect the November election [for Hillary Clinton, in favor of the Donald], the single most reason is because Vladimir Putin fears Hillary Clinton and would rather work with the crass Donald Trump—the menacing reality is that it wouldn’t take Donald Trump to insult this war monger: this jeopardizes not only the peace of America but rather the whole world.

The phenomenal Hillary Clinton and many other people—particularly, Sen. Warren[the twitter queen, onhitting Donald Trump where it hurts] have advised Donald Trump to try listening not only to himself but other people; as a means for him to learn new things but he remains adamant and very loyal to ignorance—calling very powerful and respectable women ‘crooked and goofy’. I am also going to propose something that might help him in equal measure, that’s if he listens anyways.Sharon Salzbergwrites very powerful words in her book, the Kindness rebellion: “culture may tell us to scorn the co-worker we think receives validation from our boss than we do. But what would happen if we examined our scorn instead in order to learn about our relationship to our co-worker?”—that’s a thing republicans have failed to do for so many years, Hillary Clinton has worked so hard and she will do the job.

I want to be very clear, I want to be more eloquent, I want to shut Donald Trump’s stupid rhetoric ‘Make America Great Again’ down once and for all. I want to do this by borrowing the words of the talented human rights activist, Suzzy Kassem: ‘A NATION’S GREATNESS DEPENDS ON IT’S LEADER’
“To vastly improve your country and make it great again, start by choosing a better leader. Do not let the media or establishment make you people from the people they choose, but instead choose from those they do not choose, one who identifies with the common man on the street and understands what the country needs on every level. Do not pick a leader who is only money- driven and doesn’t understand or identify with the common, but only what corporations on every level.

Pick a peacemaker. One, who unites, not divides. A cultured l leader who supports the arts and true freedom of speech, not censorship. Pick a leader who will not only bail out banks and airlines, but also families from losing their homes—or jobs due to their companies moving to other countries. Pick a leader who will fund schools, not limiting spending on education and allow libraries to close. Pick a leader who chooses diplomacy over war. An honest broker in in foreign relations. A leader with integrity, but not sly. A leader who encourages diversity, not racism, One who understands the needs the needs of the farmer, the teacher, the doctor and the environmentalist—not only the insurance or pharmaceutical lobbyist.

Pick a leader who will keep jobs in your country by offering companies incentives to hire only within your borders, not one who allows corporations to outsource jobs for cheaper labour when there is national employment crisis. t and preservation, not destruction. Truth not lies.

Most importantly, a great leader must serve the best interests of the people first, not those of multinational corporations. Human life should never be sacrificed for monetary profit. There are exceptions. In addition, a leader should always be open to criticism, not silencing dissent. Any leader who doesn’t tolerate criticism is afraid of their dirty hands being revealed under the heavy light. And such a leader is dangerous, because they only feel secure in the darkness. Only a leader who is free from corruption welcomes scrutiny; for scrutiny allows a good leader to be even a greater leader.

And lastly, pick a leader who will make their citizens proud. One who will stir the hearts of the people, so that that the sons and daughters of a given country can strive emulate their leader’s greatness. Only then will a nation be truly great, when a leader inspires and produces citizens worthy of becoming future leaders, honourable decision makers and peace makers. And in these times, a great leader must be extremely brave. Their leadership must be steered only by their choice, not a bribe”—an excerpt from Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The writings of Suzzy Kassem.

Mrs.Clinton & her running mate,Sen.Tim Kaine
Definitely,that’s not the leaders Donald Trump is and that’s why #TeamHillaryUganda continue to present to you a leader(s) who will not play the sly make America Great Again dictum but will rather do all it takes to keep her great—giving a decent minimum wage to every working American, access to an affordable healthcare care, an affordable education to all college students not just for the privileged few but for everyone and among very many other things; a visionary and inclusive Democratic progressive platform—this will be through the very well qualified duo,Clinton-Kaine.Go to the voting booth in November and cast your vote for the only team that sincerely cares about the American people.

We were eight Years in Power, a legacy adored.

By
When I wrote a piece for my role model , President Obama and his beautiful family, I thought I was saying bye with tears of joy and I wouldn’t be tempted to write anything again before I met him in person—well, I was so wrong, I have since written many pieces where his legendary name surfaces as a re-enforcer to my points [remember, as Mrs. Clinton said recently while delivering her acceptance speech , he is the ‘explainer in chief’]. The beautiful first family:Photo taken off the web What I have learned from this great man and his phenomenal wife, FLOTUS Michelle Obama, is absolutely beyond description: all I can say is that it makes me wake up each day with morale to work hard and one day inspire people like these two have inspired my person over the years. Yes, I have learned over the years that good deeds are contagious—we either do and write about them or live by them our entire lives.That maybe the greatest riddle of our time is the unforgettable question from the iconi...

Grab him by the ballot

By
Morality can be so interesting to watch when a very immoral person like Donald Trump is playing the morality police. It has been a turn of events since the last debate —when the Donald learned he was losing terribly, he resorted to the final deep end drive into the conquest for the bottom of the barrel—his campaign has been always about impure rhetoric but this time, he didn’t pretend for a second, what I don’t understand though is why a man would pride in being remembered for the creepiest things ever said for a man as old as 70 years. I have seen the very big hypocrites of the republican party ditch their party leader on the side of the road albeit I can’t fathom why and how they stood on his side this long—if there’s one sure thing, putting up with the stupidity that tags along being in the Donald’s cult is a twenty four-hour exercise equivalence, it’s a very tough place to be: full of vile utterances and always denying facts even understood by a five year old.

Hillary Clinton is Presidential

By
I want to begin with what Donald said about Hillary as he openly endorsed her for the job: “she is a fighter and she never quits, I admire that about her”. The last many three decades of the republican witch-hunt on the Clinton family have molded the incoming 45th of the United States, Hillary Clinton: she and her husband have been through the fire but have still soared so high, proof positive that nothing baffles the achemes of the enemy like a composed soul. Being a Clinton maybe hard but might as well be one of the most rewarding experiences in self-composure and self-discovery. As I said in the first debate commentary ; for those who had doubts, she mopped the floor with an ignorant bigot—she did it again and we are proud of her. The last couple of days have been filled with the most sickening news of the republican flag bearer’s advice; “Grab their p***y”; seeing many republicans un-endorse their nominee and billions of people around the world have the republican party for...

Hillary Clinton is certainly prepared to be President

By
President Obama & Sec Clinton having a chit-chat T he Question of whether she is the most qualified candidate America has ever had for a presidential candidate has never been so answered; for those who had doubts, she came to stage and spoke it with illustration(s), verve and swagger throughout the 90 minutes of the debate at Hofstra University. She eloquently made it clear to her opponent that not only did she prepare for the debate, that her opponent seemed to have been so yappy about; but also proved and lived to the hype of what was expected of her: she mopped the floor with the Donald, I have never laughed so loud, at an ignorant bigot being thumped by an intelligent woman. Hillary Clinton at the Debate.Source:Huffington Post The greatest riddle of this political time; the election time, is one: will Americans hand over the presidency to the man whose ignorance is covered under the avalanche of lies and delusion of grandeur—I attempted to draw a clea...

IN DEFENSE OF Dr. KIIZA BESIGYE: Andrew Mwenda, Lets PUT THIS TO BED, at ONCE!

By
In the TV Series, REVENGE, Chronicling the life of a Distraught Emily Thorne: SEASON 1, EPISODE 7 "Charade”, As Hamlet said to Ophelia, "God has given you one face and you make yourself another." The battle between these two halves of identity who we are and who we pretend to be is unwinnable. (This is referring to Shakespeare's famous tragedy Hamlet. These words are said to Ophelia, Hamlet's girlfriend, in anger and frustration). Just as there are two sides to every story, there are two sides to every person. One that we reveal to the world and another we keep hidden inside. A duality governed by the balance of light and darkness. Within each of us is the capacity for both good and evil. But those of us who are able to blur the moral dividing line hold the true power.

Barack . H. Obama, the Lasting Imprint.

By
I may never be the President of the United States or even my country, Uganda , but I am going to die one day and when I am no longer here, my son and those that read about my name should know that President Obama & Michelle have inspired my person, a lot. I was reading Christopher Hitchens book, Mortality, a while ago and reviews of his memoir, Hitchens 22 , these words really touched me a lot: “ I have more than once woken up feeling like death. But nothing prepared me for the early morning in June when I came to consciousness feeling as If I were shackled to my own corpse ”—he goes on to quote Saul Bellow : “ Death is the dark backing that a mirror needs if we are able to see anything ”. I told my surrogate mother, Tabitha Scaife , I would do this before I leave the face of the earth and she said, “ Do it sonny, I believe you are very well equipped ”. Ma, thanks for elevating my confidence . Love you, to Life!

ENVISIONING PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON: “THE BARACK-HILLARY LEGACY”

By
Photo source: daily dot I am deeply honored to be telling the vision that has since been on my mind for a while in the most possible way I have ever imagined. I have wracked my mind how best I would tell it; it was not until I was admiringly looking at Mrs. Clinton’s photos  recently and I got the picture (above) that would best tell what I envision in the Presidency of the first female President of the United States, Hillary Rodham Clinton . As I have noted time and again, if there is anything that I admire about President Obama and Mrs. Clinton among the very many things, it’s their authentic selves—especially in the realm of political maturity , for purposes of this article. As I noted earlier in the road to President Hillary Clinton , her resilience is certainly a thing anyone in the world would admire, she is indeed is a fighter—“fighting for us, we are stronger together”, do those words ring a bell? By now they should be the words every sane American has subs...

Dear President Obama, thank you for being.

By
Dear President Obama,  I greet you in the name above all names. I waited to write to you my second letter after your final SOTU (state of the union) address not as my last letter to you but as a letter of appreciation for the almost concluded two terms of office .Allow me to first express how so humbled to write to a man whose name has been engraved upon the marble of history. I have fortunately had a few days to prepare otherwise I would make very terrible sentences herein. Again, I am lucky to address a man whose kindred spirit is ingrained in equality and the pursuit of happiness. The last time I wrote to you, I critiqued you. Today, I have very deep gratitude for how fundamentally influential you are and will forever be to my Life and I pray to the life of my descendants. I remember well, in the 2007 democratic primaries that shaped the arc of history of the American Dream, I didn’t support you then.Actually,apart from the inescapable thing we have in common,blacknes...
