GMW, Let’s Pray for Liz Cheney, for having the backbone to stand-up for what she believes in: truth, honesty ,dignity and our Democracy. It’s going to take us uniting as women to ask ourselves,’who’s character would we like to see our daughters emulate as women political Leaders: Liz Cheney or Melanie Greene.

Liz Cheney says Trump’s ‘big lie’ poisons democracy as split with Republicans party.

A perfect example today of, “stand up for something, or laying down for anything,†Is Trump’s GOP today.

The GOP is building their base on lies, as a result, they have had to pass over 360 voter suppression laws, to make sure we never have another voter turnout like we had in 2020. But, We are going to vote Jim Crow Out of existence In spite of their suppressive lies.

The Trump’s GOP is not fit to lead a train animal, while they’re prostituting their souls for power, not effective government just power. Their TENT is too small to lead the country anywhere except JAIL.

Facebook was right to Band Mr. Trump, no American President or political Leader has ever used the  Oval Office megaphones, to create divisiveness in our country; like we have never seen before, and, domestic Terrorist that would attack our capital, to perpetuate Donald Trumps’ lie of Voter fraud.  

GMW, I’m so glad we serve a God that sits high and looks low. This too shall pass.

?As we pray for our country, asking God to guide us, And let our words and actions be acceptable in his sight we pray?

Democrats have controlled Virginia government for two years. Here’s what they’ve done.

GMW of Norfolk and Portsmouth, needs to see some reforms for the Mid-Downtown Tolls, they are constantly going up, creating a real hardship for below poverty-minimum wage, even with the new $9.50 minimum wage. Only Economic opportunities can diminish poverty.
There are two factors that largely determine our standard of living, our income and expenses. They must rise together To diminish property.

GMW, we all understand too well how, Inflation can hurt your standard of living by cutting the purchasing power of your income while increasing your daily expenses.  So these are issues we need to have address by all candidates running for Office all upcoming elections. Women and children’s lives has been More impacted by the pandemic than anyone else.

Now GMW, we need to go back into our two boxes for changes, regarding us and our children needs.

As always we step out in faith, knowing, “we can’t lose, with the stuff we use.†Our tools are real: Our Gods, Our Love, Our Dollars and Our Vote.

 

Donald Trump and COVID-19:

The Best and Worst Events For America  In 2020:   But Lord, You and You Alone, “Knows The Plan You Have For Us: “Jeremiah 29:11.

Donald Trump showed us what was in the swarm, and under his leadership, (for 4 yrs. he showed us pre-views); Then on January 6th, we saw the finish product-in-living color.

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
January 6, 2021 In-Living-Color

Mr. Trump and His GOP, can have undisputed, full credit for exposing the swarm, in Jim Crow Fashion.

COVID-19 shut down America and the world; while putting a spotlight on police brutality in America. The world watched as ‘three white police officers kill George Floyd, in-cold-blood-in-living-color. Did you know 6 people were killed by the police 24 hours after Derek Chauvin convection. 

George Floyd, was the sacrificial lamb. His Cross was under the knees of three (3) police officers for 9 minutes-20 seconds (9:20). But, ‘thanks to God,’ he did not die in vain.

It appeared as if they wanted to see how many they could kill before, “Qualified immunity,†would no long protect them; if the George Floyd Justice reform Act becomes law by the Senate, the House has passed, The George Floyd Justice In Policing Act.

Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are holding American democracy hostage. They are not behaving as member of a Democratic Senate, with a narrow majority, Who has inherited a desk full of bills, that America can benefit from, but they have been languishing on Mitch McConnell‘s desk with no hope of passage. There are, white supremacists on both sides of the isles.

For Virginia’s General Assembly, and Governor Ralph Northam, You added insult to injury, by raising the minimum wage from $7.25 since 2009 to 9.50 in 2021. Can any of you live on that, plus raise a family. That is still at poverty Level and, not how you build an economy.

Grandmothers, Mothers and Women (Gmw), The Swamp Exposure and Covid-19 has had, and is having an Unforgettable affect-effect on America and the world that none of us will soon forget. Dealing with the consequences of both, is a daunting task. But, President Joe Biden, has accepted the Challenge, and GMW of America, we are going to be the wind beneath his wings.

GMW: Please stay-tune, and? (In The Name Of Jesus), throw open your tool-box. We have work to do?

?Let’s pray in Jesus name, “to help President Biden, unite America; and truly become the United States of America again. Love♥ï¸will always conquer hate?

Qualified immunity; ERASES: Police Excessive Force!!!

 

Accountability breeds responsible behavior.

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
Justice Reform Is Needed Now

The U.S. Supreme Court created qualified immunity protections about 50 years ago, and it has been used in recent years to block thousands of lawsuits seeking to hold police accountable in cases where they are accused of excessive force, according to a Reuters investigation.

FACT SHEET:  George Floyd Justice in Policing Act is  the first-ever bold comprehensive approach to hold police accountable, end racial profiling, change the culture of law enforcement, empower our communities, and build trust between law enforcement and our communities by addressing systemic racism and bias to help save lives.

Grandmothers mothers and women (GMW), we are sick of seeing the people we gave birth to, being Killed in mass shootings and senseless gun violence; with politicians offering up prayers for the families, trying to sound as if they Care. Every President uses his Executive power to try and stem the tide of gun violence, but, gun violence is an issue for Congress, they need to legislate a bill into law, so the president can sign it; then we can have some sensible gun reform.

White supremacy-domestic terrorists, exist within both Democrat and Republicans party; both sides needs to be put on notice, it will no longer be tolerated, the spotlight is on them now.

understanding brings fellowship

Americas History: good-bad-ugly needs to be taught in all of our schools, “as curriculum,†Black history is a part of that curriculum. All parents need to become familiar with it. Knowledge brings understanding, understanding brings fellowship,Fellow shipping brings peace. If America doesn’t get hatred bigotryi and prejudice under control, we are all going to self-destruct.

GMW: By the a Grace of God, ‘we brought each and everyone of humankind into the world, so we should start the dialogue of understanding the curriculum we want our children to learn. In Jesus name?

OOPS!!! I’M SORRY: I KILLED HIM.

 

The Kenosha police officer who shot Jacob Blake in the back, returns to work, no discipline: 2 Virginia police officers used excessive force, threaten arm officer during traffic stop.

Grandmothers mothers and women (GMW) in particular, and America in general. HATE,RACISM and PREJUDICE:  Can’t be legislated, only the consequences of those behaviors can be adjudicated.

PARENTS of color ( and I’m one of them) is sick and tired of Systemic racism; seeing our sons and daughters being brutalized, treated like animals and killed by White-Supremacist-Bigoted police officers, Who has infiltrated all branches of law and order, which was verified by the riots of January 6th on our State Capital.

Racism

Milton Kleg is Professor of Social Science Education and Director of the Center for the Study of Ethnic and Racial Violence at the University of Colorado, Denver.  Hate Prejudice and Racism provides a comprehensive overview of the problems created by prejudiced attitudes, racist beliefs, and acts of discrimination, from the casual racial or ethnic joke to the unrestrained violence of a lynch mob. It addresses such topics as the nature of ethnicity, stereotyping, aggression, and hate groups and individuals who promote ethnic and racial hatred.

Police departments across America, is inundated with prejudice attitude, racist beliefs and acts of discrimination which creates undisciplined police brutality. The only solution to police brutality is legislation. The passing into law of the George Floyd justice Act Will fix the problem. Marching and demonstration brings attention to the problem, but it doesn’t solve the it.

Congress is half-stepping, The 117th House has passed HR1:The People’s Act. HR4: The John Lewis Act. HR51: DC Statehood Act. HR7120: George Justice In Policing Act. Most of these were on Mitch McConnell’s Desk since 2017.  Now they belong to new Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer.  Passage of these bills will make life better and easier for everyone, especially People of Color.

Qualified immunity isn’t for decent officers of the law. it protects those racist, bigoted and hateful white bullies, who hide their racism behind their badges to terrorize and kill black men and women with their visceral racism. When prosecutions becomes the consequence of their behavior, changes would be automatic.

George Floyd Justice in Policing Act is the first-ever bold comprehensive approach to hold police accountable, end racial profiling, change the culture of law enforcement, empower our communities, and build trust between law enforcement and our communities by addressing systemic racism and bias to help save lives.

The Prosecutors of Derek Chauvin Trial are doing a through and fantastic Job. Above is a list of the Jury, and I hope they deliver justice for George Floyd, America and the world. We have all be traumatize from seeing, “A man slowly killed In-Cold-Blood, with the world watching. 

The year 2020 exposed us all to the,“ Good, Bad and Ugly of Humanity, the Good, “ We got #45 out of Office. The Ugly, “The Coronavirus and all of the consequences as a result. The  Bad was,†was having a President with no leadership abilities or people skills.

I needed Theraphy, to get thru 2020, I got, and is still in it. I’m also praying for everyone struggling with whatever your overwhelming issues are,  to seek counseling. The well being of your Physical Health, mind, body and soul is priceless.

The other three(3) officers will be tried together in August, they need to be charge with murder also, maybe 2nd or 3rd, because they made choice, and the consequences are going to prison, for their participation in Cold blooded murder of George Floyd.

?Grandmothers, mothers and women (GMW) everywhere, let’s pray for all of the families directly impacted by this atrocity, and for the Soul of our country. In the Name of Jesus we pray?

ANGRY BLACK WOMAN

Grandmothers, Mothers and women (GMW):  To our white GMW in particular and  Black and Brown GMW in General, Ladies, we have to stop abusing,â€The Me Too Movement Agenda, “ or it’s going to lose its validity, if it hasn’t already.  We Are Not Angry Black Women!  We need to be supportive of each other, without labels.

We are not angry, we address inappropriate behavior as it happens, so we don’t become victims; and carry it for years, then address it in five or ten years, with feelings of having been victimized. All women have or have had very good reasons to be angry. For example: The right to decide with our doctor only, what we wish to do with my body!!

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.

Inappropriate sexual behavior from man or woman, makes us Spontaneous, we will most-times address it in real time, or speak to them in private, as soon as possible, so as not to make a scene, if we don’t have to, then report the matter to HR and the police for documentation, if necessary, then get on with our lives. 

The scenario being played out with Governor Cuomo in New York, is a scenario that has gotten tired. Ladies, if we want a  seat at the table, with the responsibilities that goes with it; then we must be able to address any and all situations that disrespects us as women, in real time or, in your time. 

Allow yourself to be called, “An angry White women,†then  wear the label as a badge of respect. Without apology!!

White men are not the only ones allowed to get angry, shoot-up and killed hundreds of people or terrorize our capital.

This is posted in Prayer In Jesus’s name?

Gov., Cuomo, Democrats and The Me Too Movement:

Grandmothers, Mothers and Women (GMW). Allegations without facts

GMW: It’s appears the Democrats will eat their own faster than any other party.  What has happened to trial by a jury of our peers. Not allegations being  treated as facts. With all of the vile and despicable,things #45 did and said, he was only Impeached after he violated the Constitution and instigated a riot on our capital.

Governor Cuomo should not resign, he should serve out his term and let New Yorkers, either vote him in again or out in 2022.  It’s déjà vu of what happened in Virginia. But GMW and Virginian supported our officials, not resigning. 

Democrats in New York, you know in your heart, this is a Political Power Struggle.  Governor Cuomo has served 3 terms, its hard to believe he became a monster over nite. I lived most of my life in NY, and all my friends there, like most New Yorkers wants to see him serve out his term. What Governor and all leader made mistake trying to deal with COVID-19.  So, please focus on issues like passing HR1. While you’re’BS’ with Cuomo the GOP has passed over 250 voter suppression laws; Dem., you need to get your priorities in order.

Ladies we need to be more accountable, and stop waiting 5 to 10 years before deciding some high-powered man or woman sexually assaulted us. if it was verbal, respond back as a woman, who will not tolerate disrespect from anyone, then report it to HR. If it was physical document it with the police. Documentation of the violation should be available, if we want to us it to destroy someone’s life. Attaching your complaint to a political bank-wagon should not be allowed after a year. We’re beginning to make the ‘Me Too Movement’ look sinister and manipulative. 

The Me Too Movement needs regulation, it has become almost a tool of just allegations without documentation, and persons accused has no recourse; except trial by public opinion. Sometimes, there’s no fury like a woman’s scorn. All of us love the men in our families, and would not want to see them subjected to false allegations. If such charges are proven, then let the chips fall where they may.

?This we pray in the name of Jesus?

Mr. Chuck Schumer:Majority leader of the 117TH CONGRESS

WE NEEDS PASSAGE OF THESE FOUR (4) BILLS: ASAP.

  1. For The People Act or HR1: Tightens rules on super PACs and restructure is the Federal ElectionsCommission to break the gridlock and enhance its enforcement mechanisms. It also repeals Mitch McConnell’s rider that prevents government agencies from requiring commonsense disclosures of political spending.
  2. John R Lewis Voting Rights Act or HR 4:Responds to current conditions in voting today by restoring the full protections of the original, bipartisan Voting Rights Act of 1965, which was last reauthorized by Congress in 2006, but gutted by the Supreme Court in 2013. This bill establishes new criteria for determining which states and political subdivisions must obtain preclearance before changes to voting practices in these areas may take effect.
  3. Legislation granting statehood to Washington,DC (HR 51):  In May 2017, the Act was introduced in the U.S. Senate. In February 2019, the House Democratic leadership put its support behind legislation to grant D.C. statehood. … On June 26, 2020, the House of Representatives passed the Washington, D.C. What is required to grant statehood? In most cases, the organized government of a territory made known the sentiment of its population in favor of statehood, usually by referendum. … Upon acceptance of that constitution, by the people of the territory and then by Congress, Congress would adopt by simple majority vote a joint resolution granting statehood.
  4. George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020 or HR 7120 – 116th Congress (2019-2020): Is a civil rights and police reform bill drafted by Democrats in the United States Congress, including members of the Congressional Black Caucus. The legislation was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on June 8, 2020. The legislation aims to combat police misconductexcessive force, and racial bias in policing. — The bill passed the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives on a mostly party-line vote of 236–181, but did not advance in the Republican-controlled Senate. President Donald Trump oppose the legislation.

Grandmothers, mothers and women (Gmw) Black, brown, yellow and white; we came together and gave our Democrats the Presidency and Majorities in Congress.

Now we’re joining forces the with the League of Women Voters of the United States(LWVUS) for the passage of these important bills. ASAP, in the 117th Congress

Our New 117th Congress has the Power of 51 votes. The same 51 votes Mitch McConnell used to push through two(2) Supreme court lifetime appointments. On was done in about two weeks to beat the 2020, presidential election.  Mr. Chuck Schumer, we need you to pass through these BILLS, with the same Efficacy with your 51 Vote Majority. They all passed the House last year; Nancy did her job, now let’s see you do yours.

?These Things We Ask In Jesus’s Name?Majority.

The browning of America

THE TRUTH WILL NEVER BE A LIE…

Grandmothers, mothers and women (GMW): Trumpism Will not stop the Browning of America. According to the Census Bureau, 2013 marked the first year that a majority of US infants under the age of 1 were nonwhite. 

We need accountability for January 6., Its understood that the real Elephant in the room, “Was not Election Fraud, but the Browning of America. According to the Boston globe, “Republicans are sitting on a demographic time bomb of their own making, and it could send them into a tailspin;  and it has, January 6, was a perfect example. Thomas Patterson, of The Globe…July 2020; said, “A maxim of two-party politics is that a party needs to be inclusive — a big tent — to be competitive. Whatever the short-term advantage of the GOP’s politics of division, it is now facing the fallout. Millions of younger adults, women, Blacks, Latinx, Asian Americans, LGBTQ, Native American and the college-educated will be pulling the Democratic lever for years to come. 

Our Democracy must have Accountability for what happened at our capital on January 6, 2021:  It was a coup against our democracy and unconstitutional. Five people were killed including a police officer.  Between now and February 9, let’s pray other Senators buy back their souls; and  uphold our Constitution.

Fifty-five (55) Senators are ready to hold those responsible, from the President down, for that terrible insurrection. Forty-five (45) others Senators has put a price tag on their Souls and integrity.

GWM there’s nothing our power can do about the Browning of America. But, we can embrace each other’s cultures and enjoy being the United States of America. We’re all Created in the image of one God, (called my many different names) that created the universe; the moon, stars, sun and breathe life into each of us.

But we can make a. difference in 2022. Thirty-four (34) seats in the Senate is up for re-election; twelve (12) are Dems., and twenty-two (22) are GOP, we need those 22 seats, to ensure our Democracy and constitution is safe until the GOP can establish who they are again.

Let The Jesus In Me, Love The Jesus In You, And We Will be Alright.
