A Woman Should NOT Run This Country

Like it or not, I don't feel that Hilary Clinton should be the one to be Commander in Chief of the United States. Though there may be backlash in this opinion, it is just that, AN OPINION.

In the Bible it states that man is the head, 1 Corinthians 11:3-16 says, "but I would have you know, the head of every man is Christ; and the head of every woman (is) the man; and the head of Christ is GOD..." Its hard to argue with the word of GOD.  He sets these statutes not to limit us, or put us down, but to protect us from what could be.

Women are really the neck and vital organs of the body that is run by the head.  A head cannot run without the support of the neck and vital organs, so our role is very important. If the head does not tell the body to function in the way it was made to, everything in that body would be affected negatively.

For practical reasons that any (wo)man could understand, the United States of America is considered a world leader.  Women in most parts of the world are not looked upon as equal to men.  This, of course, is not right, but it is a fact.  Having Hilary Clinton run our country would not allow us the respect from those said countries when working out arrangements for peace, nor would it allow for us to be aligned with them in case of war.  Basically, we would lose allies and our position among the countries of this world.

Lets face it, America is already one of the most hated countries in the world due to the fact that we tend to mind everyone else's business instead of our own.  The only time we seem to step up to the plate to support ourselves is in the matter of war, so we need all the allies we can get, and keep.

A woman tends to operate inside of her emotions. This is something she finds difficult to control, but in doing this she could be making drastic decisions affecting the whole country based off of what she feels at the moment.

The current runners in the Presidential election is tattered in candidates that we all have to second guess about.  We may be voting for the lesser of two evils because we don't have a choice. I personally am thinking about writing in a candidate when I go to the polls in November.  The bumper sticker I read on the back of a random car while I was driving just about sums it up for me, "Nobody2016," and especially NO woman.

The Houston Floods

Schools are closed, people are home from work, rescue efforts are under way...  This news should be encouraging for most, but yet the people of Houston bore witness yesterday as horses were being rescued while women and children were left to fend for themselves in the Greenspoint community.

This morning I saw for myself how residents of Houston's North side were floating in refrigerators, trying to make their way to safety.  These home made boats were the only things they could manage to put together to get them to higher ground.  But where were the city's rescue workers for these people? Thankfully they had each other, or the death toll for the city could have been much higher than five.

Not that I don't have love for animals; they are beautiful creatures, but when our city puts the lives of horses above its own people, there's a problem.  Maybe these horses just so happened to be on the right side of town.  Maybe they had the right socio-economic status.  It couldn't have been the color of their mane, because it was as brown as the people fighting for their lives over in Greenspoint.  Are these people not as worthy, even more so, of the same rescue efforts that the horses got?

There is also something to be said when a Caucasian woman living in the Cypress area, who by the way is suffering through the storm as well, gets on T.V. and says, "We are the ones who need the help, NOT the people in Greenspoint." What does that mean?  Are we ALL not in a state of desperation around the city, whether in Cypress or Greenspoint?  How much devastation has to happen before we realize there is a need for equal treatment for everyone?

The areas more severely hit should be the first on the list of rescues, no matter the economic status, race, or ethnicity of its people.  Never should there be a time when we say, "Okay everyone, horses first! Now the rich.  Next lets rescue the white. All others, we'll get to you when we can.  Its just not acceptable.

The Next Generation of Confusion

It seems that as each generation passes our youth become more and more susceptible to the influence of the "anything goes" idea that society has adopted.  Sadly, its more prevalent today.

As a whole, adults seem to glaze over the problems our youth face until it is right at our doorstep, or interrupts our lives. We know this based off places like Columbine, or Sandy Hook Elementary school.  Although not all of the problems our modern-day youths deal with end in those type of catastrophic consequences, there are some, as innocent as they may seem in today's world, which may have drastic results.

Confusion has taken a giant leap into the minds of the next generation, and I personally don't want people who can't decide from one day to the next who they're going to be, making decisions that will affect my life. Just the other day, one of the students in my class recently decided she wanted to be British, and was able to read and assignment out to the class as if she had been born in Great Britain. Of course this confused the rest of the class, who were so distracted by her once American now turned English accent (and the fact that I had a hard time holding in laughter as a result), that they barely paid attention to what was being presented.

This same student just a couple of months back decided she no longer wanted to identify herself as just one gender, and wanted her teachers to stop calling her by her given name in exchange for one she had made up which sounded more male. After wearing a beanie to hide her long hair for a phase of time, she has since decided that she would be female again.

How do we stand by as parents and watch this happen?  We have even come so far as to encourage it, so that our children think its okay to "experiment" with who they want to be versus who they really are.  What is wrong with being who God made you?  He doesn't make mistakes; so why try to correct what's already been divinely designed?

The Ignorance Is Real

Ivana Trump is one of her ex-husband's biggest supporters it seems, based on some of her comments made on a huge issue facing America today; immigration.  We're all no strangers to how 'The Donald' feels about immigrants and his stance on keeping them out of America.  The thing that is the most confusing is what the former Mrs. Trump, an IMMIGRANT from Czechoslovakia, recently had to say about them.

Speaking on the matter of America's need for legal immigrants, Ms. Czechoslovakia said that we needed immigrants because otherwise, "who's going to vacuum our living rooms and clean up after us? Americans don't like to do that."  This statement would leave one to wonder why Ivana Trump herself has not yet resigned her position as multimillionaire and been the first one in line for a job cleaning the homes like the ones she lives in.  According to her logic, that settlement for $14 million, along with the apartment in Trump Plaza, and a 45-room home in Connecticut, should have been forgone for a life of servitude.  Besides, its only natural, right?

The nerve of some people who come to America for the same opportunities as other immigrants do, to limit a person's success based on where they come from. Though there is nothing wrong with keeping house, it is a job where some of the most dignified people serve in employ, there should be no limitation given that this is the only mind-set that they have.

If you want to be real EVERY ONE is an immigrant to the United States, unless you are a member of the Native American race, you too have come here from another country and claimed this one as your own.  There are a variety of cultures and races, as well as a variety of career titles that came along with your true country's representation when your ancestors moved here.

There is a reason why Donald Trump seeks Ivana's advice during his campaign for the presidency, both seem to cut from the same cloth.  Both don't seem to have a clue about the struggle to over come obstacles for those of us who don't have access to million dollar loans from daddy to start our first business, or multi million dollar settlements from ex-husbands with more money than he knows what to do with. Regular people have to really work to make even a quarter of their 'American Dream' come true.  There is strength of character and mind in this fact. As for Donald Trump and his ex-wife Ivana, all that can be said is THE IGNORANCE IS REAL.

NO I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE RESTROOM WITH YOU

Its amazing how society has now come to such a point where any thing goes, and is accepted, that we are pushing for transgender restroom integration. This puzzles me because we are so worried with offending the side of those who are apart of the LGBT community, that we are forgetting the rights of those who are not.

Is it not natural to go to a private place like the restroom, and be comfortable knowing you're among those who share the same gender makeup that you do, not just that they identify with? To be truthful, no matter how many times you put on a dress, use extensions/wigs, or even take hormones to change the physical make up of your body, you were still born with the XY chromosome. This makes you a man. There is no way you can go into every cell in your body to change that.  The same goes for women.  No matter how often you cut your hair, tape down your breast (or not), put on men's clothes, and take hormones to change the outside, or even deepen your voice, there are still those XX chromosomes built into each cell of your body.  This makes you a woman.

The bottom line is this, men are still men no matter how many operations you've undergone to change that fact, and women are still women.  God does not make mistakes, if you had been meant to be born a member of the opposite sex, He would have made it that way.

Personally, as a member of the heterosexual community, I want to be the one to speak up and say that I don't want to be joined in the restroom by someone who used to be a member of the opposite sex, or may still be a member with different clothes on. Do my rights matter?  How far will we push the envelope on the matter of equal rights?  Yes, I do believe equal rights should be given to all, but since there are already bathrooms built to suit the sex you were born with, and no one is stopping members of the transgender community from using the restrooms period, why is it that we need to change what is natural?

The Power in Faith

Ever wonder why when so many people were crowded around JESUS, surely there to witness all the hype they'd heard, were never healed of their 'issues' like the woman w/the issue of blood? Being in a crowd that thick I'm sure JESUS was touched more than once, but she, who was considered unclean and should have been sitting outside of the city gate, in her faith, touched Him and was healed. I think that was the key. There were a bunch of faithless gazers so-called 'star gazing' at JESUS,  and only one who truly believed.

I wonder if Jairus had the same faith when they came and told him that his daughter was dead? I wonder if he looked past all the mourners who mocked JESUS in his house and saw that HE was preparing for a resurrection, not a funeral?

Its amazing the amount of faith we see in the Bible and some of its characters. I'm left to wonder if I were in those same situations, would I have the same type of faith?  I can only hope, because it was their great faith that moved JESUS so much, the power flowed right out of HIM and smothered infirmity and death until they were no more. 

The Fate of America

Its amazing that this so-called "great nation" we have has a front runner for president who can't tell the difference between decorum and impropriety.  Have we come to such a point of desperation that we would support an 'any thing goes' (out of his mouth) type of candidate like Donald Trump? Are the mental capacities of the present voters so fickle that they can't rationalize the detriment they may be putting their country in?

Eight years ago the United States was ready for change.  Although, there was an historical change that took place with the first non-Caucasian face to represent a nation that is an ethnic melting pot, the change the people wanted from one person seemed to shift with the wind.  It was as if they expected this one person, President Barak Obama, to be able to force the delivery of their wants onto a house that was not cooperating with his efforts to make a difference. So today, we citizens say we want yet another change; never mind the fact that Osama Bin Laden has been found and disabled indefinitely; never mind that the status of unemployment in many states has gone down drastically; never mind that the country has brought home many of its troops deployed for war that has been long since over due to be finished; never mind that there is now medical car provided to those who would not otherwise be able to afford it.  The list continues to go on of the good that has come in these last eight years, yet there is also a list of negatives that clearly mark these same years with a big red X.

Personally, there is no preference for me on what party I'd like to join. Democratic, or Republican, they are all just political crime families, gangsters who force you to choose a side based on what they claim to believe in the public eye. In regards to voting, I make the best attempt I can give at being open to hear what all candidate have to say, and where they stand on issues that concern me, but I think the bumper sticker that I read just last week, on the back of a car sums it all up, "No one 2016."
