STRONGER TOGETHER: “HEALING AMERICA WITH HILLARY CLINTON”

Over the season of the campaigns, the most beautiful slogan I have known is ‘STRONGER TOGETHER’—against all else and especially more Donald Trump’s sound-tough empty slogan, “Make America Great Again”. Psychologists have proven beyond reasonable doubt over the years that whatever the mind conceives, it’s bound to see it happen. Believing that America is not great is something that begun in Donald Trump’s egoic mind and it has picked upstream breaking to piece the Republican Party and sadly translating to other innocent Americans and those who would love to be future immigrants of the United States. Looking and thinking through Mrs. Clinton’s slogan gave me hope that America can heal and live in Harmony. America doesn’t in anyway need Donald Trump’s divisive and fear mongering rhetoric to move forward; evidence and practical realities say so.
 
Joe Walsh thought it fitting to rub this bigotry to the President Obama and his race, but its crass and completely asinine: “this is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks.Real America is coming after you”. Over the past century America has paid her dues expensively due to being blinded into hate of a man not born the same as the hater: genocide; racism; police brutality; slavery and all the horrible things anyone can think around this line. When someone looks at the heinous crimes that continue to rob America of its safety and cheers on it, it’s rather time to know that America is only stronger together—a wake-up call to stay away from the rhetoric people like Donald Trump are saying. Whether Donald Trump sells the divisive and hate-rhetoric for just being crass, I don’t know but what I know by now is that he seems to be having followers that have taken it to a new scary level, those that think that the “real America” is when people are shooting at each other. In the words of Anna Quendlin, I will settle it with Joe Walsh and the Trump camp: “ignorant free speech often works against the speaker. That’s one of the several reasons why it must be given rein instead of suppressed

When Mrs. Clinton called out the hypocrisy with the slogan ‘Make America Great Again’ some people didn’t pay attention and now we can evidently see the contagion of stupidity of that slogan re-branded to the word like, ‘watch out; the real America is coming after you’. As Mrs. Clinton said earlier on June 28th 2016,I will quote her very words: “the whole slogan make America great again is code for go back to the time when a lot of people were not included”. If you are aware of American History and that doesn’t smack you awake, certainly you are looking in the wrong direction, pay attention. The phrase what goes around comes back around is not new to many of us; if we can’t learn from the mistakes of History, we are bound to repeat them: as a matter of factly, History will laugh at us.

As Peter Daou put the matter rather perfectly, in article he wrote: “Hillary’s republican opponent, Donald Trump has spent year hurling insults at those who disagree with him. He has embraced intolerance as a platform. He has a shameful History of demeaning women. He lacks even the most rudimentary preparedness for the office he seeks. He has a self-admittedly vindictive temperament which is profoundly ill-suited for the Presidency. He lashes out at reporters in personal terms whenever questioned. Yet astonishingly receives less negative coverage than Hillary Clinton according to two independent studies”. In earlier piece of work here, with all the reasons why Hillary Clinton will do the job, I did quote Hillary Clinton twice on the kind of temperament very much needed for a president of the United States, especially now, the raw fact is that it is not Donald Trump’s.

In that endorsement I wrote about Mrs. Clinton’s verve and swagger to do the job so well, I did mention and brought out excerpts from her memoirs as well as President Bill Clinton’s. For purposes of putting it to bed with the big-mouthed Newt Gingrich(one of the names running around as the likely running mate for the Donald),I will fetch yet another disheartening reality about his effort to fail the early Clinton administration,though Newt fantastically embarrassed himself—whiles showing the hypocrisies of republicans at once.
Hillary Clinton writes on pg.296 (624), in living a History: “Newt Gingrich and his cohort of self-described republican “revolutionaries” appeared eager to capitalize on the trend. In September, Gingrich stood on the steps of the capitol, surrounded by like-minded members, to unveil his game plan for midterm victory: a “contract with America”. The contract, which provided the basis for republican proposals to abolish the department of education and environment and slash tax credits for the working poor, came to be known around the white house as the “contract on America” because of the damage it would cause to our country. The numbers behind its contradictory agenda didn’t add up. You can’t increase military spending, decrease taxes and balance the federal budget unless you cut much of what the government does.Gingrich counted on the voters to skip the arithmetic. The contract was a strategy to nationalize local elections and turn congressional races into a referendum on republican terms: negative on the Clinton administration and positive on their contract.”
On pg.307 (264), she goes on to write—under the sub-heading, ‘Conversations with Eleanor’: “there is an old Chinese curse, “May you live in the interesting times”, that became a running joke in our family. Bill and I would ask each other, Well, are you living in the interesting times yet? She goes on to write: “one dreary November morning I stopped by my force after a meeting with Bill in the oval office and glanced at the framed photography of Eleanor Roosevelt displayed on a huge table. I am a huge fan of Mrs. Roosevelt, and I have long collected portraits and momentos from her. Seeing her calm, determined visage brought to mind her some of her wise words: ‘a woman is like a teabag’,Mrs. Roosevelt said. “You never know how strong she is until she is in hot water”. That’s exactly what I would like to remind the republicans, as I wrote earlier, quoting a great writer; ‘Nothing baffles the achemes of evil people so much as the calm composure of great souls’, I will emphatically say that it’s about time they realized that Mrs. Clinton is simply phenomenal and no matter how long they try to taint her name in the mud, their report will always stop at futile attempts.

Mrs. Clinton has earned a string of endorsements all over the world that present her as the most qualified candidate for the job and I totally agree. Take a good look at the words from Vice President Joe Biden’s endorsement: “the hardest thing is vouching. When you vouch for them you say I am putting my reputation on the line. I believe this person is a good person, has character. You’re putting your rep on the line. You’re saying I think this person has character and that’s what I am prepared to do for Hillary”. It is very true that the one person you can vouch for and feel good about it is Hillary Clinton because you know you are doing the right thing, she has earned it.Dear America, be vigilant and let’s vote the most qualified candidate to the job, Hillary Rodham Clinton: “STRONGER TOGETHER.”

We were eight Years in Power, a legacy adored.

When I wrote the memoir 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 iconic

Grab him by the ballot

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

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

When they go low, we go high.

T his 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

Hillary Clinton is certainly prepared to be President

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.

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.

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”

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 subscrib

Dear President Obama, thank you for being.

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,blackness,I
