I say YES. YOU say NO....Numero Tre! Enjoy!

Divine, I agree. I feel like the white men always felt a sense of entitlement about who they were and didn't feel they had to measure up to any Pres. or anyone else. So I do imagine they were miffed to the nth. degree at a black male who was so casually appropriate and also President to boot. Pres. Obama was born with the ability to connect but that was in part because he didn't mind showing himself being humble and greatly moved by so many events. I do recall how he cried for the horror of the school shootings at Sandy Hook and how it seemed Reps. wanted to 'make' something of that -- but it just didn't work. Strength of character and beauty of soul just can't compare to small-minded with sense of entitlement. Reps. and others never really got that some people shine out naturallly and very little can diminish it or them. I still view former Pres. ( with two terms ) as one of our best and brightest, and he still is. He would be a great one to have on the Supreme Court.

There was a great segment on the CBS Sunday Morning Show featuring Hillary and Chelsea Clinton and a new show they are doing about Gutsy Women.

ruth, I saw the segment and posted here about the series a few pages back. I am looking forward to watching it!

Here’s the CBS Sunday Morning segment

Compassion is the most precious of all gifts. In times of sorrow and bewilderment,
it is what restores us and offers refuge. It is the force of empathy in your own
heart that allows you to reach out and touch the broken heart of another. It is
rooted in the heartfelt acknowledgement that others, like ourselves, yearn to be
free from suffering and harm, and be safe and happy. It is compassion that rescues
us from despair and helplessness, that provides a refuge of peace and understanding
inwardly and outwardly. Compassion does not claim to be a quick-fix for the age-old
causes of suffering, nor is it a magic wand that will sweep away sorrow. But it is
our commitment to compassion and our willingness to nurture it
in every moment that gives meaning to life.

One of the things that silently falls by the wayside when our busy lives get stretched too thin is hope. Hope is never limited to the unreal. Hope is that process within ourselves that stretches us beyond the ordinary, beyond the possible to the impossible, while at the same time rendering what seemed impossible possible. Hope feeds our soul and our being. It is that immeasurable source of power that comes from beyond ourselves and is not controlled by us. Depriving ourselves of hope confines us to a world grown void of color and surprises. We no longer see the flowers and the rainbows that are there. Hope is not expensive to have. It is very costly to be without. -Anne Wilson Schaef

We do have to get there though and unless we can MOVE away from the Loon's appointed a^^-kisser judge we may have some issues with the investigation which the judge so nicely called a halt on for now. Always seems there is a work around but it is the time involved. I did read that we need to do something about the un-qualified that the Loon and McConnell made sure were in place. In that area we are difinetly a disgrace. Heree's hoping.

We have so much to fix and sometimes I just go into a bit of overwhelm on it. I do think though, given time ( that means winning elections ) we can take care of a lot of what has happened and we need to. Need to stop the desruction that the Loon and company happily started and get back to the REAL business of running the ountry and having a highly workable democracy.

Boebert has 4 boys, no daughters.

and we should remember that McConnell and the Loon gave this lady her position, and he did go out of his way ( about 60 miles to be exact ) so that he could file his paperwork with said judge in her court. She should know better -- and it is buying time although I do hope there is some way ( no matter how it is addressed ) to speed things along.
