So I've read this week that our FLOTUS is perturbed at her perceived portrayal as an "angry black woman." Really??...There are so much worse things to be called: broke, unemployed,etc. etc.
Perhaps her concern could be alleviated if she'd simply SMILE occasionally? Stop disparaging her country and countrymen? Act in public like she actually APPRECIATED the multi-million dollar, all expenses paid vacations? I do believe I could muster a smile for the camera upon my return from 17 days in Hawaii. I would certainly be grateful and happy for the designer duds, rent free mansion, and round the clock security for my children and family.
But then, what do I know? I'm simply an American that has been forced to watch the downfall of my country from afar....its forced descent into socialized medicine via blackmail and dirty deals. I'm paying double now for gas in my car and food on my table. I no longer have the employment prospects for myself or know whether or not my children will have jobs or a future upon graduation. My husband has had to travel weekly and live away from home most of each week for almost four years due to the increasing job destruction under our current administration. I have no idea if I'll be able to ever afford to retire, and IF I get a vacation this year, it will be by cashing in deals and claiming premiums. I and my fellow Americans are losing personal liberties and freedoms weekly. I can't turn on the t.v. without being embarrassed by the POTUS: his foreign policy, class warfare, socialist ideology, lack of leadership, and failed economic policies.
So....pardon me sweetie if I don't shed too many tears over the adjectives that are so burdening you this week, bless your heart. You see, I myself am one angry white woman!

...and justice for all.
As a young child, I recited the Pledge of Allegiance every morning in school with my hand over my heart, facing the flag. Even though it was not politicized, discussed, or debated, it managed to seep into my blood, bones, and my very heart. It made me proud to be an American. It reassured me that we were a strong, and united country, and with those last resounding words, I was convinced that although life might never be "fair", in my country, there would be justice for all, and for this reason, people everywhere admired the U.S.A.
While I know that our current level of government corruption did not begin three years ago, a wake up call of earthquake proportions hit me hard with the swearing in as president of someone most of us know now is in office due to voter fraud, crony support, and behind the scenes thuggery. Our attorney general is conducting himself as if he were above every law, and our president is operating above, around, and outside of the Constitution. With a new scandal everyday, a new illegality occuring at least every week, I find myself questioning where law enforcement is?!?! I don't ever remember hearing my parents, grandparents, or great grandparents talking about the president SUING a state of the union for enforcing laws. I can't believe that a border patrol agent is dead due to criminal action at the DOJ, voter intimidation charges were dropped on racist grounds, and the attorney general is still going to work every day! A commander in chief with sealed records, suspiciously "losing" military drones, apologizing and kowtowing to enemy powers, taking over private businesses, and circumventing congress to pass policy the American people have loudly rejected.....I am still waiting for the men with handcuffs to show up on the lawn of the White House. Our illegal immigration laws are not being enforced, yet I live in a state that the president tried to block jobs in to please big union supporters. I think I fell down a rabbit hole!
I'm not a politician. I'm not savvy to the inner workings of our capitol. But I can read......and I'm reading way too many reports of criminal activity in some of our highest elected offices. It's time somebody explained to me what happened to "justice for all".....I want to know when the consequences begin for the abuse of our legal system. I want justice.
