Only ONE SIDE Matters in Good vs. Pure Evil
The tragedy in Charlottesville, VA has been covered on the news by every angle, but only one side (NOT “many sides”) of this story matters:
The good men and women who stood up for equality and human rights for all people.
The people who bravely and proudly showed up in Virginia to protest against hate represented every American watching TV in shock as that tragedy unfolded. These counter-protestors stood up for what’s right against the absolutely vile, revolting, reprehensible and hellish views and flags of David Duke and his white supremacist followers. Those (insert your own choice phrases here) carrying Nazi flags and promoting white supremacy on American soil will burn in hell. These people are the scum of the earth and they are not only on the wrong side of history and humanity, but they are on the worst side.
At this point, many of us are left wondering how this happened in 2017? Why are these people filled with so much hate and pure evil? It’s physically painful to have to write about this event and subject matter. More so, it’s disturbing and utterly heartbreaking.
Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon spoke about Charlottesville last night. Like Mr. Fallon, I prefer not to dive into political issues too often on my blog (despite my passion for politics). However, some cases warrant a response, like what transpired this past weekend.
Well said, Jimmy Fallon.
President Trump’s multiple responses in Charlottesville’s aftermath, and his lack of definitive, immediate and obvious condemnation during the tragedy, have been shocking and chilling. The president speaks passionately about building a wall along America’s southern border. So why couldn’t he passionately deliver an equally and unmistakingly impenetrable rhetorical wall against David Duke and white supremacists during the Charlottesville protest and tragedy, during and immediately after?
It’s difficult to find words right now to react to the president’s real reactions to Charlottesville.
But shameful, tragically unreal and disgraceful are a start.
Happy Monday
It’s Monday. It’s time to wake up from the weekend (literally and metaphorically).
It’s time for TCB.
TCB: That Creative Brainstorm. There’s no better way to start the workweek.
And that’s how you take care of business.
Have a Better Week Than Last Week.
WHEATies: The Breakfast of Champions…Eventually
When will our grand “moment” in life happen? This is one of the biggest questions people want to know, along with finding our one true love. And for most people, both of these variables in life of paramount importance have no GPS option or Uber driver with an ETA. Nope, we’re the driver with no map on strange roads with no cell service in the making-it-up-as-we-go-along-in-the-dark approach.
Comforting? Not exactly. However, according to comedian Sebastian Maniscalco, patience is a virtue.
Plus, posing for a hilarious modeling picture will lead to your dream coming true…in 19 some odd years.
Congrats to Sebastian Maniscalco who finally made it to the big time in LA.
P.S. Find yourself some wheat this weekend and have your life changed!
Jimmy and Justin’s Sketch is IN SYNC
What do you call a “Throwback Thursday” from 1993 at a campsite with a (“future,” in quotes) pop superstar, a late night talk show host, a special guest and a sketch comedy aficionado?
Words cannot describe this bromance for the ages. But this popular Tonight Show sketch tries its best.
There’s something really great about sleepaway camp in the summertime when you’re around twelve years old…with a beard. And if you have some spare time, think of a favorite childhood memory and then recall the particular clothing style, lingo and musical hits.
Then write call email text tweet at Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake, Billy Crystal and Keegan-Michael Key.
Don’t worry if you tweet late at night because, odds are, they’ll be awake.
