The Denouncement Announcement: Too Little, Too Late

Image
      After a slew of questions from the media... members of the GOP have FINALLY been compelled to speak up regarding the (infamous) dinner between Donald J. Trump, Kanye West, and Nick Fuentes .  Isn't it amazing that Trump has DECADES of racist and antisemitic rhetoric and actions (even throughout his "presidency") BUT this is what the media has wanted to be denounced via his fellow conservatives?      The entire "stand back and stand by" statement to the Proud Boys did NOT need to be addressed huh? The "shithole countries" comments did not need to be addressed?        Currently, there is an epic scramble within the conservative GOP where individuals are walking a tightrope of denouncing Nick Fuentes while NOT speaking AGAINST Trump.  😏  The latest tool for damage control is proclaiming that Trump (a secret service-protected former POTUS) did not [previously] know why Fuentes was. The man who KNOWS every person with a...

The Trump Separation

Image
      Calm down...Melania hasn't decided to leave the tangerine tyrant as of yet.  The separation tea that is piping hot is between Donny boy and his crush of an offspring... Ivanka .  Ms. Lady has been making the rounds distancing herself from her father publicly, businesswise, and (seemingly) personally.  She has petitioned courts NOT to include her in prosecutions, indictments, etc because...she doesn't know him.  😂       Ivanka is showing the country precisely what she learned from her father ...SAVE YOURSELF ABOVE ALL OTHERS.  This is a woman who has watched (firsthand) her father have loyalty to NO ONE...but her.      Many believe that her decision to distance herself from her grifting patriarch derived from the plethora of investigations and the Trump Organization being seized.  I beg to differ a bit.  Ivanka CHOSE to testify before the Jan 6 committee and to TELL THE TRUTH while her husband (...

Why Make Excuses for the Sexualization of Children?

Image
      Most recently it has been discovered that (luxury brand) Balenciaga has a bit of a history of leaving "Easter eggs" latent with pedophilia within their ad campaigns.  From the start of this discovery, there have been a slew of people making excuses for the campaigns and trying to gaslight us all as if we couldn't see the ads for ourselves.        It is far from surprising given that R Kelly continues to have sympathizers.      What is frustrating is the pure, unadulterated hypocrisy that surrounds the sexualization of children.  Society will be quick to victim blame, excuse away or turn a blind eye to this disgusting occurrence to then proclaim to be horrified when victims surface.  Do people think that sexualization would be VOID of victims?      The sexualization of children is yet another portion of the list of things that far too many believe talking about it and pointing it out is what fue...

The Deadliness of Faux Friendships

Image
             I recall being a young girl and my mother warning me about certain people I had befriended at the time.  It occurred again with my father and Papa waring me as a young adult.  I admit that I didn't fully understand their warnings at the time...but I did take heed.  Thank goodness.  As an adult, I have watched people that have "befriended" people just to set them up and/or destroy them from within.  Most recently, we have all been presented with the MURDER of Ms. Shanquella Robinson by her friend group while on vacation.       For the people that are so shocked that this could occur must NOT be on social media.  Have you NOT watched as friend groups online have eaten their own for clicks, likes, followers, and clout? They will use every bit of private information to take one another down.  it was their plan all along.  To NEVER be a friend or a part of a support system, but to pum...

The Narrative Game

Image
      Just when you thought conservatives and Christian Nationalists could not sink any lower.... they put a new level in hell.  The attorney for the Q Nightclub terrorist has decided that the best defense is claiming that the accused is nonbinary.  The LDS church-going, conservative conspiracy theory family belonging, noted anti-gay and racist shooter is now being sold to the judicial system as a part of the LGBTQIA+ community.  😏 The mems have already surfaced attempting to change the narrative as a measure of changing the narrative of the mass shooter syndrome within the US.       They are vehemently clinging to the fact that the shooter previously changed his name... but ignoring that the GENDER remained MALE.       We, the general public, are expected to ignore the following: the mother looking for her SON on social media on the day of the massacre  a neighbor admitted to witnessing the shooter using slurs towar...

The Indoctrination of Hate

Image
             Over the weekend, we were YET AGAIN reminded of the TRUE indoctrination occurring within the confines of the United States.  The people behind the lie of "the LGBTQIA+ are groomers and pedophiles" have created another monster while hiding the actual villains within their circles.  Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado was riddled with bullets via an individual that should NOT have been free to roam about.       His privilege mixed with this country being intimidated by its own PUBLIC officials kept him from consequences.      This heavily indoctrinated "beta male" incel was raised within an anti-LGBTQIA+ church as well as around a (fervently) pro-Trump grandfather.  His Assemblyman grandfather had NO problem conditioning him to believe that the views of the far-right were a blueprint for life and something to emulate.  Now the infamy that he will be immortalized in has his family and f...

Family for the Holidays

Image
           Tis the season when families PRETEND to like/love each other for photo ops and social media likes & clicks.  Although we LOVE to say that there are 365 days in a year, in real life, we tend to only care about/reach out to (extended) family during the (winter) holiday season.  All of a sudden everyone misses one another and wants to "reconnect". 😒 Every other day of the year, the only thing that is missed is an opportunity to gossip about one another. 😏      Keep the "not me" to yourself...cause YES you do this as well.      After spending the majority of the year declaring to all that will listen who you don't f*#k within your family and why...they suddenly pop up on your social media feed with heartwarming captions and promises of keeping in touch.  I NEVER understand this "holiday tradition".  Especially since you do NOT speak to them.  There are NO gifts under the tree.  As soo...

The (Self) Derailing Trump Train

Image
          Last night, Donald John Trump decided to let the nation know that he is running for president (again) in 2024.  Personally, I saw this coming the moment that the first investigations into him were made public.  In his minuscule brain, it appears that he believes that his new campaign will shield him from prosecution, indictment, and appearing before the Jan. 6 committee.  News flash... It WON'T.         Additionally, the money that he believed would be flowing in after he monetized the White House did NOT.  he needs his greatest gift back, but at what cost to him and those around him? the RNC already stated that should he announce that he is running, they would revoke their offer to pay his legal fees.  His prized child Ivanka has made it public that she will NOT be involved in this latest round of (faux) politics.  The GOP is eating itself at the moment while (predominately) backing Ron DeSantis ...

Clicks Do NOT Help Mental Illness

Image
      Far too often family and friends pick and choose who they will support throughout their mental illness.  This is usually done because of "othering" in regard to the medical condition. What is overlooked is the fact the "outsider" and the "included" both see how the other is being treated.  The loneliness one is experiencing is on the mind of the other who is (nervously) awaiting their rotation outside of the care of the click.  Those you believe that you are loving through their mental illness are fully aware of the criticisms that you bestow upon the other.  Therefore, should they perceive a misstep to mirror that of the "outsider" they tend to spiral.  They tend to believe that they are next to become banished into solitude.        You do this in lieu of (actually) learning about their illness and how best to help.       You think that that last sentence was a stretch, don't you?  Answer me thi...

Yes...It Is ALL White Women

Image
           Before you begin to rev up your keyboard warrior fingers... pay a bit of attention.  Until it is NO White women, it is ALL White women.  Let us break this down a bit.  White women have HISTORICALLY decided to call upon BIPOC women for emotional labor as well as taking the LEAD when it comes to achieving equity.  They do this as they CONTINUOUSLY side with, support, foster, create, procreate with and vote in favor of White men.  Their adjacency to power and their protection of privilege outways the NEED for women's rights to be gained (and protected).      This is because they see themselves as FIRST IN LINE for equity.     Even as losses are made to rights that have been fought for have been revoked (or stifled), they have been conditioned to demand that the front lines be filled with the bodies of those they continue to OPPRESS.  It is NO secret that this occurs.  It is simply ANNOYING...

White Women: The Damsel in Singular Loyalty

Image
       Once again non-White women are reminded that we are perpetually viewed as the saviors and workhorses for White women.  The 2022 Midterm Elections showed us that the (overall) goal of White women was to compete with White men in the sport of voting against their best interests.  Yes...the SAME women who troll BIPOC women with the mantra of "women should always be helping women" made the conscious decision to vote in the WORST interest of women.       So what will be your next faux (online) protest this time?      When Roe was overturned, you all were diligent in cosplaying our movements as if it were a summer camp finale production.  your "outrage" was heard (briefly) from every corner of the nation. YYYEEEEETTTTTTT, when it came down to having ACTUAL change occurs, you decided to vote in support of the WHITE patriarchy.  Now, as this is being pointed out across social media platforms  White women hav...

Learn the Long Game Instead of Focusing on the Right Now

      After each election, I often find myself irritated with the general public due to the fact that most begin to "flip out" and become ill-informed pundits.  This is ESPECIALLY so on the side that contains non-GOP voters.  For the life of me, I will NEVER understand why the concepts of "from the ground up" and "play the long game".        As much as I LOATHE the GOP, I must give them credit for creating politicians from the ground level.  They are invested in campaigns as "entry-level" as school board positions and they cultivate and elevate from there.  They are painstakingly invested in the long game, as is their voter base (minus the cult crew).  The other side of the aisle is far too busy looking for the "quick fix".     I am FULLY aware that the goal is EQUITY, but let us be mindful that this is a nation built off of the goal of denying it.  Achieving it will take patience as well as an evolution of ...

A Conversation Regarding Black Women

Image
           I have compiled a listing of my blogs regarding Black women in the hopes that much-needed conversation (and change) will occur.   STOP Expecting UNCHECKED Anti-Black Women Behavior  to Disappear https://camptaz.blogspot.com/2022/11/stop-expecting-unchecked-anti-black.html Who Is Truly the Beauty Standard?                                                https://camptaz.blogspot.com/2022/10/who-is-truly-beauty-standard.html When Will the Attack on Black Women End?                             https://camptaz.blogspot.com/2022/08/when-will-attack-on-black-women-end.html  It Wasn't the Delivery, It Was the Messenger                                  ...

Look Around, the CRT Fight will Intensify

Image
      With the amount of revisionism that is taking place right before our eyes right now...do you really think that those currently fighting against CRT being taught will cease? They will NOT.  They do NOT want what their ancestors, grandparents, and parents have (and still do in some cases).  Additionally, they will NOT want THEIR children, nieces, nephews, and (younger) cousins to know what they are currently doing.  Make no mistake, they are fervently aware of the fact that they stand on the WRONG side of history.  They teach their children that they are not and they want it to remain that way.      Let me guess, you think that I am reaching right now, huh?      Look around.  When you correct their tossing about of revisionist history and/or racial tropes, what is their (general) rebuttal? They quote MLK, they tell how they fought for Civil Rights in the 1960s, and they tell how their parents or ancestors were an...

Fear Factor: Trump is the Lesser Evil vs DeSantis

Image
           Over the weekend, Trump's ego took centerstage (yet again) and he decided to uncover his latest [political] target at a rally...Ron DeSantis.  He knighted ol DeathSantis as DeSanctimonious and conservatives became critical of Donny Boy.  Do NOT be fooled into thinking that his cult (or those that are cult-adjacent) woke up to his grifting, lying, and criminal ways... NOOOOOOOOOO; Ron DeSantis is just what goes bump in the night far better than Trump.      DeSantis is Trump with more working brain cells.        Trump survives off of talking points and promises that are NEVER intended to see the light of day.  DeSantis actually DOES the fascist things that fuel the erotic dreams of ultra-MAGA sycophants.  He has NO problem taking to social media to brag about utilizing the tax funds of his state to displace migrants in search of sanctuary.  He has pushed for legislation that comforts ...
