They made fun and mocked her laugh. Black Joy bothers some people.
So, what did the Vice President do?
She pulled the Uno Reverse on them…now placing JOY as a theme for her campaign✊🏾✊🏾

Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) posted at 3:21 PM on Mon, Aug 12, 2024:
One thing that unites us as Americans is our love for our country. The highest form of patriotism is to fight for the ideals of our country.

That is how we preserve the promise of America.

News Analysis: Trump seeks to reclaim spotlight with lies, smack talk – Los Angeles Times

Then, he veered off into a rambling 40-minute speech — uninterrupted by media questions — in which he aired old political grievances and debunked conspiracy theories, and lied, repeatedly, about the state of the economy, the safety of the nation and the policies of Vice President Kamala Harris, who is running against him in the presidential race…At his recent events, Trump has delivered a steady stream of insults about the country, about Harris and about the media — which have responded by showering him with headlines…

To avoid being used, Mercieca said, reporters should write about Trump’s “news conferences” only if he says something newsworthy, not whenever he says anything outrageous — because the latter, at this point, is his standard shtick, a stump speech that’s old news.

“When a plane lands safely, that’s not news, because it happens every five seconds,” Mercieca said. “When Trump says something outrageous, that’s not news, because it happens every five seconds.”

What would Jessica do? + A Teacher’s Betrayal by Ernestine Whitman – Happiness Between Tails by da-AL

Older women rock! Have you ever watched “Murder She Wrote,” the TV mystery series starring Angela Lansbury? It first aired from 1984 to 1996 (not counting four movie versions released between 1997 and 2002), yet I’ve only recently discovered the huge uplift of Angela Lansbury playing Jessica (J.B.) Fletcher. Jessica, like me (more on my books here), is a writer, one who got her lucky break later in life.

Angela Lansbury achieved acting success in her youth, but by 58-years-old, her career had slowed. The role of Jessica soared Angela back to fame! The show’s opening changed throughout the years, but it always showed her vibrantly jogging, biking, and fishing here, there, and everywhere. This is the very first version…

 

 

Today’s guest blog post is authored by Ernestine Whitman. At 20, she began her career as a professional flutist, the youngest and one of few women in the Atlanta Symphony. For the next 33 years, she was a professor at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin. At 60, she took up martial arts and earned two black belts in her sixties. At 70, she started writing.

She says, “I do believe the older you get, the more important it is to take risks — reasonable ones.”

Her first book, Countermelodies: A Memoir in Sonata Form, comes out in September 2024. She describes it this way: “My memoir is about a mentor who turns into a tormentor when I become his colleague in the flute section of the Atlanta Symphony. The narrative centers around my need for male approval, caused by, as usual, a distant father. Trigger warnings: the story includes rape and two suicide attempts, though I could focus the podcast solely on the intense bonding that often occurs between a student and her private music teacher.”

Here’s a sample…
