One Last Diss Before That Big Day


One more day before we have to for the sake of The Union, This City Upon a Hill, This Great Land of Ours called the United States of America at least pretend that we respect him even if through his words and actions he continues to disrespect us. Let us pray that his attention span increases from the 140 characters of his late-night Twitter rants to something that will reasonably allow him do his job well and run this country. We must collectively be the bigger person and support him as our president or we can all collectively put our head between our legs and kiss our butts goodbye. No we don't have to celebrate his inauguration. Yes we will hold him and the republican controlled Congress' feet to the fire at every turn. How he slipped in and won in the first place was by capitalizing on how divided the country was. The divide and conquer strategy was in full effect and on steroids in the 2016 election. So, now we must accept the 2016 election results and Donald J Trump as president and move forward to make him a one term president. I know we can make it through four years of Trump and company. I'm not so sure about eight. Remember also my fellow Americans, midterm elections are coming on November 12, 2018. We can unite and vote some of these anti-progress Congress members out of office. Then march onward and upward to the 2020 elections. We've got a lot of work to do, but it will be exciting and rewarding. The country we may save might be our own.

Naomi Wolf raises awareness of the pervasive inequities that exist in society and politics. She encourages people to take charge of their lives, voice their concerns and enact change.

Wolf was born on November 12, 1962,in San Francisco, to a Jewish family. Her mother is Deborah Goleman, an anthropologist and the author of The Lesbian Community. Her father is the Romanian-born gothic horror scholar Leonard Wolf. She attended Lowell High School and debated in regional speech tournaments as a member of the Lowell Forensic Society. Wolf then attended Yale University where in 1984,she received her Bachelor of Arts in English literature. From 1985 to 1987,she was a Rhodes Scholar at New College, Oxford.

Wolf’s landmark international bestseller, The Beauty Myth, challenged the cosmetics industry and the marketing of unrealistic standards of beauty, launching a new wave of feminism in the early 1990s. The New York Times called it one of the most important books of the 20th century. In her long-anticipated book, Vagina: A New Biography, she asks, “could a profound connection between a woman’s brain and her experience of her vagina affect her greater sense of creativity—even her consciousness?” She argues that this connection is not only real—and long-overlooked—but that it is fundamental to a woman’s sense of self.

Wolf’s New York Times bestseller, The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot, is an impassioned call to return to the aspirations and beliefs of the Founders’ ideals of liberty. The New York Times called the documentary version “pointedly inflammatory.” Her latest book, Give Me Liberty: A Handbook For American Revolutionaries, includes effective tools for citizens to promote civic engagement and create sustainable democracy.

Her international journalism includes the investigative report “Guantánamo Bay: The Inside Story” for The Times of London, and as a columnist for Project Syndicate her articles have been published in India, Philippines, Egypt, and Lebanon. She’s a frequent blogger on The Huffington Post and writes cultural commentary for The Guardian, The Washington Post, and Harper’s Bazaar. Her TV appearances include Larry King Live, Meet the Press, The Joyce Behar Show, and The Colbert Report.
Wolf was a consultant to Al Gore during his presidential campaign on women’s issues and social policy. She is co-founder of The Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership, an organization that teaches leadership to young women, and The American Freedom Campaign, a grass roots democracy movement in the United States whose mission is the defense of the Constitution and the rule of law.
