A LEGITIMATE CONMAN IN CHARGE OF A LEGITIMATE COUNTRY


The state this country in has me appalled and ashamed. For one man to be able to have so much power and not even listen to the people, it sickens me. I am not going to call him "president" as this is a man who violated the Constitution with lies, deceit and utter disgrace to get into power and expects us to just abide by his every word. I'm not going to stand for something like that.

For those of you that just want me to sit back and accept the fact that he's president, you have that right. I do accept that he is the president. Do I accept that he is a legitimate president? Not in anyway, shape, or form thus is why you will never hear me call him "president". The majority of the people have voted for what they believed in and even though there are great numbers who indeed voted for Trump-I'm not going to dispute that-he lost the election by over 3 million votes. Now, I don't know about you...but isn't that why we have elections in the first place? WE THE PEOPLE. This is stated in the Constitution! You can't just pick and choose what you want to abide by. This nation was established in 1776 and is not a dictatorship. We now have a used car salesman as "president" and someone that doesn't run off of anything but the money and wealth his family possesses. He doesn't give a damn about the middle class, children in poverty, the environment, gay marriage, public education or public television. This man is more worried about getting back at someone on Twitter than making a difference.

Since day 1, he has done so much to fuck up this nation. Raising mortgage levels to the middle class making it hard to move into a new home. The same day he was inaugurated he has done this. Day two? He has signed an Executive Order to cut public programs like PBS and NPR. How is this making America Great Again? And how dare he announce that Mexico will pay for a wall? He is not a king and that is what he believes himself to be.


WE THE PEOPLE. 



I feel as if this country is being raped and torn apart each and every day this fuck is in office. He's a criminal and is undoing all that was left right under President Obama. For what purpose? None other than because he's a business man and doesn't know how to work any other way.

As I've been busy with other issues in my life, I've had to take a step back from this blog and since that time Trump has started a ban of 7 foreign countries from allowing access in the U.S. for no other reason than the fact they contain Muslims. A Muslim Ban. This is racism in full swing. None of the countries listed have attacked us and there is no reason to ban someone because of their background, race or religion. There are already a large number of Muslims here in the U.S., so what about them? Are we to assume he will force each and every one of them-who have lives, careers, futures-to just get up and leave? I certainly hope not. And about keeping us safe? Are you serious? This makes me so infuriated and sickened.

Stay informed, keep positive and fight for what you believe in. I am not just here to live my life and sit in front of the television while all this is going on. I am one person apart of a whole who feel the same way. Call your local congressman; don't get your sources from one place (Fox News) and don't believe the lies that this man is telling us through his campaign and smears. His goal, and his cabinet's goal, are to make people scared, quite and blind. Is this an America we want? Is it an America you want? We have come so far just to let it all fall apart thanks to this conman and even though we may not make a difference right away, the world knows we are doing what is right and speaking out is the way to do it.

Welcome to Jurassic World!

A film that lives up to the wonder and enjoyment of the first movie over 20 years ago? I honestly thought it wouldn't be possible. Boy, was I wrong!
Jurassic World does not disappoint! I saw this a day before the major release and I've got to say that I am thrilled to have seen it. I'm one to admit that I was not impressed with the third Jurassic Park film. I felt it just relied too much on effects and not on story in addition to it only being an hour and a half long. Way too short.

Let me give you a glimpse of the story:

Jurassic Park then and now

Set 22 years after the disaster at Jurassic Park, Jurassic World is now a fully-functioning theme park just the way John Hammond had imagined. Millions of people every year come to the park from the main land and take a cruise to Isla Nublar off the coast of Costa Rica. InGen, the company responsible for cloning the dinosaurs at Jurassic Park, resurfaced after the incident in The Lost World: Jurassic Park and have been bailed out by the Masrani Corporation, one of the largest oil conglomerates in the world. Having the backing of Simon Masrani, the owner of Jurassic World, the park is now fully funded and relies on attendance and profits more so than just the wonder of dinosaurs. As most major corporations do, it's all about the profit factor rather than the safety. You see, Jurassic World has been open since 2002 and as of recently, attendance and profit has fallen a small amount. What do all major theme parks do in order to garner more attention? They add a new attraction. This new attraction is a genetically modified dinosaurs known to be bigger and faster than the T-Rex. A way to up the "wow" factor and get more people to attend the park. Something backfires and as Morpheus tells Neo in The Matrix: "you have to see it for yourself."

Now, be prepared, there is no one from the original movies except for B.D. Wong. This is not a prequel, nor a remake, but is in fact a sequel and continuation to the world of Jurassic Park. Michael Crichton would be pleased with this movie had he still been alive. Chris Pratt makes his character of Owen Grady his own, and although I was a bit nervous of having Bryce Dallas Howard in this movie, she really pays off and you grow on her character...Not much I can say about Tea Leoni's part in Jurassic Park III.

Jurassic World really lives up to the original film and I've got to say ever since the second film, there has not been a Jurassic Park film that really lived up. So, even though it's been a good 14 years since a Jurassic movie came out, it's really been 18 since an authentic Jurassic Park movie has come out. Don't get me wrong, I love all four movies, but this one really knocks it out of the park for me (pun intended.)


Be prepared to be wowed and keep an eye out for some surprises and snip-its from the previous films!  One more thing I would like to add to conclude this blog, is that you really feel for the dinosaurs in this film. You don't really feel for any particular dinosaur in the previous three movies, but in this one, you do and it's a nice surprise. Enjoy and come back alive!
