Dorothy was excellent in Carmen Jones…so was Harry Belafonte and looking might fine as well! She was great in Porgy and Bess also. What beauty and talent.
I just love this. Let us all embrace and treasure WHO WE ARE, cracks and all. #MyFlawsMakeMeWhoIAm #EmbraceWhoYOUAre #BeYOU #BeKind #BeGrateful #Monday #mantra
While I detest him, his snarky remark is TRUE! Had there not been the threat of forfeiting the up coming game, with it’s national prestige and revenue, I DOUBT the pres would have resigned.
I think that was last straw. I suspect this would’ve dragged on much longer without their support. But we all know the student protests were the catalyst. Kudos to them all.
Dudette, I’m beginning to think that Carson actually revels in these historical fantasies. The more he gets attacked by the media, professional historians with ‘facts,’ scientists or thinking people of any sort, the more popular he may become with those who think all of these people are evil. He’s playing to a very narrow base now, but he has somehow convinced himself that this will carry him far. Sad to say there are many people in this country whose paranoia and anxiety make them feel comforted by lies-the more exaggerated the better.
I agree JG. It is sad. I take solace in knowing this guy will never be President.
I’m one of the few people out here who is glad we have a long election cycle, so all the crackpots and loons can be whittled away from the field. Our useless media really just holds the mics to the candidates mouths so they can spew nonsense and lies with no pushback of facts, let alone analysis. They’re interested in ratings not cultivating an informed electorate. So it takes time for the truth to
come out. Too many people just go for the shiny object without looking below the surface and throw their support to the first person who rattles off a couple of soundbites they like. Sorry to say to but, we call ours the greatest democracy but do so little to protect the institution or it’s integrity. Hopefully people will actually participate in the franchise this time - before it’s gone.
hf ..analysis that the some in the media would use Carson’s inefficiencies and lies as a way of attacking the President is proving to be spot on…Ari Fleischer tweet from this morning…is proof
PBO is really firing on all cylinders regarding social media. He really and truly gets it and his use of it has been phenomenal since he entered the WH. It’s not just an afterthought or a half-hearted faux sense of engagement.
The White House has about 20 social media staffers in its Office of Digital Strategy https://t.co/OJdEusBnWt
I know they increased one of the State Houses by 3, Veto Busting? I am not sure. Besides, they are Not Currently all sworn in so the Fluffy Christie can still buff up his fluff.
I had a beloved choir director when I was I teen who ADMITTEDLY used to walk into church a little late to show off her outfits. One Sunday when we were performing at an away church, she entered late and tripped and fell flat on her face.
Her children could be heard saying: “Was that mama? Duck your head! Duck your head!”
That’s how I feel about Carson…I just want to duck my head. Such an embarrassment.
Here we go. I knew one of the toddlers would ask about the University of Missouri’s president. Who better than April in that toddler’s voice? Always a childish question framed as “What does the President think about it?”
Another Obvious reason why the DNC needs to OK for more debates.
The base Needs to know that there are Leaders trying to fight for them. It gins up the base. It is educational, informative and darn it, it keeps the base interested in their activism.

President Obama - no food or drink while nutnyahoo is there, please.
Morning Chips and TOD.
Morning Jackie!
Morning J4O! :-)
My President ain’t scared of that punk!
GM Chips, Jackie and TOD. congrats Jackie.
I was in love with her……In my era all the brothers thought she was “outta sight”. :-)
Cool thing is sisahs though she was outta sight too! :-)
Spitting image of my late aunt Katherine. I chuckle every time I see her picture and it doesn’t have my aunt’s name below it.
YUMMY! I looking for my naughty mat now!
LOL! :-)
Hate to interrupt this sexy convo, but you look like her too, don’t you Dudette? ☺️ 😉 😎
I wish! :-)
You’re too modest. ☺️
LOL! Not in the slightest bit!
Dorothy Dandridge had one of the most beautiful faces in the movies. She was a damned good actress, too.
her voice was haunting.
I was too, yardarm! I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen Carmen Jones.
Dorothy was excellent in Carmen Jones…so was Harry Belafonte and looking might fine as well! She was great in Porgy and Bess also. What beauty and talent.
Indeed!
Beautiful, thought, Dudette. And let me tell you that at my age, the cracks are plentiful.
I hear ya JG! :-)
Love this. Thanks Dudette.
I commend the students at Mizzou. They have been well organized, peaceful and determined!
Well done, young leaders, well done!!!
WHEN YOU’RE IN A HOLE STOP DIGGING.
Oh, Yardarm, this is priceless.
Put the shovel down, eh? ;-)
I detest this man.
Me too!
Me three.
While I detest him, his snarky remark is TRUE! Had there not been the threat of forfeiting the up coming game, with it’s national prestige and revenue, I DOUBT the pres would have resigned.
Congrats J4O on your solid Au :star:
Thanks Nena.
Oh brother…….what an opportinist name dropper.
I don’t care for this headline. It makes it appear that the faculty walk out was the reason the president quit. USA Today is a rag!
I think that was last straw. I suspect this would’ve dragged on much longer without their support. But we all know the student protests were the catalyst. Kudos to them all.
For all the animal lovers out there. :lol:
:) :) :)
My kitties are not amused.
:-)
:-)
Bravo!

Whoooo-weee that is one deep rabbit hole! It just goes on and on and…
Now here’s a thought, eh?
I like this idea Yardarm. Thanks!
We just might have to give this serious consideration

FYI -
So proud of My President’s embrace of social media as a means of communicating outside the Washington media bubble.
Downside is we’ll have to wade through more of the disgusting troll comments on FB too.
PBO is really firing on all cylinders regarding social media. He really and truly gets it and his use of it has been phenomenal since he entered the WH. It’s not just an afterthought or a half-hearted faux sense of engagement.
But it’s ok for noobie to attack the sitting two term president from that party, I guess.
Miss Joan can take several seats!
Good Afternoon.
This is the only picture of B-B nut-an-Yahoo! I like. And, of course, he needs to be guarded while in the presence of my POTUS.
Poll: The more that GOP voters hear about Bush, the less they like him
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/jeb-bush-likeability-poll-gop-215642#ixzz3r193za9H
I couldn’t care less about what GOP voters think about Bush!
Yup…..he loves to talk about FREEDOM.
Hmm?
I am hoping that the NJ Legislators would overrode his Veto.
Didn’t NJ elect a veto busting majority for dems just last week?
I know they increased one of the State Houses by 3, Veto Busting? I am not sure. Besides, they are Not Currently all sworn in so the Fluffy Christie can still buff up his fluff.
EVERY GOP governor is intent on making it hard for people to vote - yet they still get elected - just weird
I PUT PBO AND BIBI ON MY FB SO THE RIGHT WINGERS COULD SEE IT BEFORE FOX NEWS EDITS….I LOVE MY ENERGIZER PRESIDENT……………………………<3

LIVE Now and Already in Progress
good one.
Here we go. I knew one of the toddlers would ask about the University of Missouri’s president. Who better than April in that toddler’s voice? Always a childish question framed as “What does the President think about it?”
yup
This is part of what Great Journalism used to all about.
If Only…….. :(
Yup……Lynching, my Nyash!
I told you B.C. would use the Clarence Thomas defence that pointing out his lies would be a “Lynching”.
In_deed, Jojothecat.
The main reason that BC should Never be ignored.
A new poll today has him now tied with Trump in SC.
NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL A DOUBLE STANDARD…PBO NOT BLACK ENOUGH?????…SICK BASTARDS!…WHAT GOES AROUND…WELL…YOU KNOW THE STORY!
This is so true… and scary.
Apparently nobody bothered to tell me that the “Six Million Dollar Man” was back on tv in reruns. And here I am thinking that we were all friends.
smh smilin
Who knew? I sure didn’t.
Is there any wonder that The Southern States are more Redder today than ever?
what kind of test is this?
Duh!
this gave me life
So proud of these young people!
Dudette, maybe he believe that this veto will get him to the adult debate table.

Another Obvious reason why the DNC needs to OK for more debates.
The base Needs to know that there are Leaders trying to fight for them. It gins up the base. It is educational, informative and darn it, it keeps the base interested in their activism.
Hmm?
It is gonna get weird, no doubt!
Wow, some new revelation about this guy is coming out like every few hours. Is that the aroma of burnt toast I smell?
This fool…jeesh
