I watched the news, “I hope they will feel it,” I thought to myself and felt ashamed right away.

If you can’t stomach a curse word or two, then this post might not be for you. But if you can…go ahead and laugh as hard as I did. Warning:…
A very good friend of mine lives in the South -that’s where we met years ago- and I know as a fact that she voted and believes in Donald Trump. She is a diehard conservative, and over the years we were able to block it out. We didn’t talk about politics at all, it was the elephant in the room, that we never mentioned.

I have been through a turmoil of emotions in this election. I was stunned, flabbergasted, disgusted, sad; there were days when I felt discouraged and hopeless.
I would have never thought that would ever give a republican a standing ovation in my workroom, but I did. I did today, just a while ago.
Well, I work standing anyway, so it was maybe not a standing ovation, rather than just a heartfelt round of applause.

Donald Trump and his fan club don’t even allow a silent protest. A Muslim woman, Rose Hamid, and others stood there in silence with a yellow Rub el Hizb pinned at their chest and they were escorted out by security officers and campaign representatives.

Donald Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” I read it in disbelieve, “Is this guy for real?” I though to myself.
We should not blame Trump for the sad state of our politics. For an American political system with so many structural flaws and no strategy to fix it in sight, the presidential campaign of Donald Trump brings exactly the kind of politics we Americans deserve.
A very good friend came to visit us and I took some time off from blogging. I just didn’t want to waste my time in front of the computer, when we had a full schedule and such a great time. Blogging has become a part in my life, but I don’t want it to dictate my life, because that would take the fun out of it.
