WOMEN ARE GOING TO SAVE THE UNITED STATES

Women are going to save the United States.

Why do I say that?

Let’s begin with the obvious. Let’s begin with you. Let’s start with the very first woman we all encountered. Let’s start with mom.

Think about all the BS you pulled as a kid and then a teenager. Yeah, kids can be a nightmare sometimes, and you contributed to that opinion when you start to think about it.

And yet, your mom continued to love you. She overcame the frustration and continued to take care of you. She sat patiently and listened to you complain about Christine Sawyer calling you fat in English class. Despite the constant work through her day, she sat with you all night, keeping watch for that monster under the bed, and if you want the extreme example of Mom’s love, she changed your dirty diapers!

Mom wasn’t the only woman in your life.

Who single-handly shaped your education? Be honest, it was a woman overseeing the vast majority of your schooling growing up. Women teachers were the dominant sex in that area.

In my case, there was Mrs. McGill, who stayed with me after school on her own time to show me why Algebra was essential and that x+y=c? And you know what? I finally got it.

There were male teachers you encountered during that time. I remember Mr.Sellers. Allow me a moment to contrast the difference between male and female teachers. For the record, there are excellent male teachers.

Mr. DeAsto was an exceptional teacher of Forensics, but the vast majority were Mr. Sellers. Let me describe Claude Sellers, my eighth-grade Geometry teacher, to clarify this point.

If a nuclear bomb were set to go off in Geometry class, he still would’ve never left his seat behind the overhead machine. Would Mr. Sellers stay with me after school to explain why I should give a shit about parallelograms? It never happened.

It was my sister who got me to understand parallelograms. And I apologize now, but I still don’t give a shit about parallelograms.

I must also include the absolute king of ditto worksheets, Mr. Lockwood. If you should be reading this and haven’t a clue what a ditto is, just GOOGLE ditto, you’ll learn what dittos were all about.

Everyday in English class would always have someone pass out the dittos for the day’s lesson and say if we had any questions about the assignment, we should raise our hand and come to his desk. He would then set aside his fishing magazine and help.

Unlike Mr. Sellers, I did witness Mr. Lockwood move from his desk once. One day, Bobby Ferguson raised his hand and went to Mr. Lockwood at his desk. Bobby asked if he could go to the restroom, and then Bobby threw up all over Mr. Lockwood’s desk.

Panicking, Mr. Lockwood pushed his chair away from his desk. He stood up from his chair, staring in shock as all of the homework assignments, tests, and dittos were covered in Bobby’s bile. But what I noticed was Mr. Lockwood’s current magazine was in his left hand.

In my personal experience, the male teachers sucked. I think males just don’t have the “diaper-changing” patience to put up with instructing in an educational environment.

I lost my mind trying to explain how to work Florida’s unemployment system to my sister two months ago. Of course with Former-Florida Governor now Senator Rick Scott’s sabotaging of the system, I can claim a legitimate excuse for my own teaching disabilities.

Knowing so few men educate, here is a question that could be asked. Would this explain why teachers are not paid nearly enough?

Women have been the best overall bosses I’ve had in my working life. A woman’s approach with handling a fast-paced work schedule in my experience is phenomenal.

Somehow, they keep an even temperament keeping their tempers at bay until they get home and interrupt the honey-do list venting about their day.

Let me back this up with some examples I’ve known in my life:

  • Lori (film production goddess)- You are just amazingly smart, talented, and APPRECIATED! Although making me pick up cigarette butts all day as a production assistant wasn’t a great start.
  • Tammy(film producer dynamo) — You are a whirlwind of knowledge and a multi-task master!

Yes, there are others.

Now let’s jump ahead to the present day with the women in my everyday life

  • My wife, Kristi — twenty-four years of marriage, and you still talk to me?
  • My sister, Jill — words can NEVER do justice!
  • My daughter, Kylee — She’s twenty years old and already way smarter than I’ll ever be. She’s certainly more intelligent than I ever was at twenty years old, and she keeps getting smarter every time I see her!

How does this all lead women saving the United States?

Let me clear about this now. Women only possess the power to save our country from the comrade-in-chief, or the I can’t OPEN MY MOUTH without telling a lie and am responsible for the most peacetime deaths in history, misogynist, racist, Donald Trump, and his Tic Tacs!

Of course, the ultimate demonstration of women’s power begins with the “we don’t take shit from anyone or anything” force to be reckoned with, the African-American Women.

Unfortunately, before I start listing facts, There could be Republican or two who haven’t stopped reading. As a courtesy for those Republicans whose attention span hasn’t been eroded by FOX NEWS, the definition of fact from the dictionary is:

fact

/fakt/

Learn to pronounce

noun

  1. a thing that is known or proved to be true.

You can GOOGLE “dictionary” later.

Okay, let’s get to the bullet points, and America’s not appreciated crown jewels, the African American Female:

  • During the 19th and 20th centuries, Black women played an active role in universal suffrage. Yes, white women, your vote is now legal through the strenuous help from your African-American counterparts.
  • In the 2018 congressional elections, there was a 105% increase in candidates who were women of color. They made up 4% of candidates and 5% of the winners. The 116th Congress is the most diverse the country has ever seen.
  • Ask Hillary Clinton: Women of color voted overwhelmingly for her in 2016, including 69 percent of Latino women and 94 percent of black women in the general election, slightly less than for President Barack Obama in 2012.
  • Black women’s turnout in 2018 surged 16 percentage points from that of previous midterm elections, from 41 percent to 57 percent. A recent analysis from Groundswell and the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund found that women of color fueled the massive increase in turnout nationwide by mobilizing friends and family and engaging voters beyond the ballot box. If 2008 or 2012 turnout levels were replicated in 2020, Black women would cast at least 1 million more ballots than they did in 2016, reaching roughly 11 million votes.

This is just a fact. The African-American female rocks!

Women now have the momentum, and our male “penis privilege” is becoming impotent with no blue pill in sight!

According to the Brooks Institute, 1992, may have been called “The Year of the Woman,” but if we are to believe them about 2020, the ballot box ain’t seen nothing yet!

In closing, the elements of real change in America MUST be listed. In my opinion, these are but a few of the powerhouses from the smarter sex that NOW and in the future will be directing America’s course:

NOW

  1. Camala Harris — Read a paper, watch the news! For Fox viewers, Camala is 2020’s version of the “nasty woman,” and now non-American bunker-baby criticizes.

2. Elizabeth Warren — merely the smartest person in the room.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCLIyXpV5K0

3. Stacy Abrams — If the fox hadn’t been guarding the henhouse, the TRUE Governor of Georgia.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/abrams-mulling-asking-a-court-to-order-a-second-vote-in-georgia-governors-race/2018/11/16/b45a27f8-e9a2-11e8-bbdb-72fdbf9d4fed_story.html

The Future:

  1. Anna Eskamani — Currently Florida Representative for District 47 and progressive Democrat time bomb ready to explode. Her involvement with her constituents and self-sacrifice are evidential of the seriousness she carries with her about being a force for change and inclusion.

https://www.wftv.com/news/local/legislator-donates-salary-unemployed-floridians/MLNYEIPNA5FV3MET4YLDT6SMFE/

She is currently the subject of a petition for the next Florida Governor. She is 30 years old.

2. Emily Gomez — Parkland school shooting survivor and gun law activist. Ms.Gomez is responsible for giving one of the most moving and powerful speeches given so far in the 21st Century. She cannot and will NOT be ignored. If you were not moved by her speech and convicted in your heart by her cause, YOU are dead.

There are more. There are many more.

Women are never going back to the old white-guy fantasies of “Make America Great” (if you were white)1950’s.

A woman’s place is not in the home unless that is HER CHOICE. America, until 2016, used to value a PERSON of somewhat intelligence, guiding our country.

Women are gathering up all the intelligence in the United States. Look at college enrollments for evidence.

https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2017/08/why-men-are-the-new-college-minority/536103/

If you honestly draw from personal experience, it just makes sense. Every life began with a mother finding our impossible answers for all of the unimagined questions. It’s a built-in mechanism all women possess.

That being said, if a woman were in charge today, would over 160,000 fellow Americans be dead in America?

The best person to push for the impossible answer for the unimagined COVID-19 virus is distinct.

So to the guys out there demanding that their turkey demand be ready to eat when they get home….

To the “dudes” who think that when a woman says “NO,” what she really means is “yes”…

To the husbands who tell their wives who they will vote for in 2020….

And unfortunately, to 53% of white women who voted for Trump last time even though you knew better…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwWux5BAczk.

The woman has now taken her place as an equal. As Trump would describe it, BIGGLY!!!!

Women are going to save the United States of America.

I now have to stop writing this. My wife will be getting home from work and it’s my turn to cook dinner tonight.
