True Colors Behind Top Ladies in the White House




Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Sarah Huckabee Sanders is once again under attack, but then again, so is every top female player in the White House since Rob Porters resignation following past domestic violence complaints brought to light by two of his ex-wives.

     Some cannot be surprised! These women have a job to protect and no I am in no way their advocate as I hate all things about our present government status and those who support it. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is just a pawn caught up in the web of a scrupulous, male chauvinist, egotistical; moron we call number 45 because labeling him as our President is just too nauseating.
Rob Porter is just another person within their ranks that ultimately got caught, but he surely will not be the last. Politicians have gotten away with sexual harassment and or adulterous relationships for centuries. Their dirty laundry was just kept under wraps till after their deaths or the victims felt they couldn’t come forward as no one would believe them.

Colbie Holderness
     Today sexual harassment, domestic violence and lack of support is making headlines, and no one is safe. Ivanka Trump, “senior adviser,” reportedly showed Trump a picture of Colbie Holderness, Porters first wife with a black eye, but has not publicly come out in defense of the victims. A self-proclaimed feminist who advocates for women she is certainly not. It is evident who her loyalty is to and that is her father. Anyone who sweeps this under the rug so blatantly should not be deemed worthy of respect or admiration.  



     Domestic Violence has been an ongoing issue for decades. I grew up in a household of abuse and witnessed first-hand what my step dad made my mother endure during their years together. As Holderness expressed in her op-ed. Domestic Violence is something no one can detect. Relationships begin nicely, and the abuse gradually begins, verbally at first, then progresses to physical abuse. To me this issue is very serious and must be addressed. Porter resigned, but President Trump still wished him the best in his career. It is evident he didn't care about the victim as he repeatedly said "he wished him well in his future endeavors." 


     We know where the latest has taken us, and we know the Republican lackies stance. They will make excuses to just about anything with a straight face or a smirk. I am glad we have journalists such as Margaret Sullivan in their faces. They need to remain on their toes, so I hope to God the press doesn’t back down. Let them continue to make fools of themselves as the voters learn the truth. Every woman in the White House should be disappointed in themselves for supporting this. Most of you have children, and they should learn that abuse is never tolerated.

     The cycle once woven sadly continues. My sister fell into it, the relationship lasted two years before she broke free, but the damage remained. She is to date incapable of demonstrating love, and with this her daughter, now thirty-four has also fallen prey to being abused. Her abuser has even come as far as hitting her in front of her children and telling them “he is hitting their mom because she needs to be disciplined.” Her children as well as my niece are now in need of therapy and homeless because being homeless was her only way to break free. They were not married, and NYC shelters will not let you obtain a room as a family unit if you aren’t married or provide them with domestic partnership documentation. Believe it or not she contemplated obtaining such document with his coaching, but she finally did the right thing, fought against giving in and they finally parted ways.

     As she now struggles to get her life back in track, her three children have no stability and she is now also pregnant with her fourth. The child of course, the abusers. I normally do not share such personal circumstances as a writer, but this weeks resent press focus touched a nerve. All abusers should be mandated jail time. Today, pictures say a thousand words, and abusers should be sentenced with one month for each year of abuse if not one year. Preferably the latter.

     Attached below are links of definite interest. Colbie Holderness, I commend you for coming forward. I wish you comfort and strength as you continue to make yourself whole; and Margaret Sullivan, you are so desperately needed, so never back down.

Valentine's Day



As Valentine's Day approaches the stores are filled with an abundance of gifts, cards and teddy bears for the occasion and restaurants are gearing up for one of the busiest date nights of the year. I have always loved the holiday and couldn't help waiting for that box of Russell Stover assorted chocolates or flowers. As I got older however, I appreciated receiving jewelry or something that can be utilized for many years ahead.

I'm not one to be classified as materialistic so don't mind a trinket here and there that would not hurt ones budget but surely brings a smile to my face. My mate, now asks me to choose my desired gift and I just simply send him a link or pic of the item I want. This way we are both happy and no one can complain. His advise is to do the same and of course it works for us both.

Need some nice ideas or suggestions than visit the link below.

Domestic Violence






We all hear the stories and some of us have lived it. Falling prey to someones abuse, whether verbal or physical can be difficult. One can find themselves trapped and see no way out so they stay, and some find the courage to pick up and leave. Those that escaped however, are far from free. They forever look over their shoulder and fear they may run into their abuser. It isn't easy to totally break free, the scars remain and the nightmares continue.

Abusers instill fear, they belittle, threaten and beat their mate and later apologize and make excuses to why the abuse was warranted. No one deserves to live in fear of someone they once loved and trusted. Break free, if you do, and even more so if you have children. Think about their future and don't let them grow up thinking this behavior is normal.

If you are being abused, don't stick around. Nothing you do or say will change one who chooses to verbally or physically hurt you. Please seek help and do so as soon as you can. The following links are added to help you accomplish just that. You can do it...
