Republicans Don’t Want Obama’s Money

Many republican states are refusing the stimulus funds allocated to their state by the recent passage of the stimulus bill. I am not a financial savvy guru or anything like that but I think I have a problem with my representative turning money that can potential help me out away based on not what is right for the people struggling in your state, but based on an ideological difference that was defeated with the passing of the bill in the first place. Hmmm, I think that is called holding on to a grudge, is it not? Since most Republicans are conservative Christians, you would think they would shy away from the whole grudge holding thing … then again you would think that their states would not be the top ones down loading porn- sorry, I’m a little off track.

All I am saying is that the deal has been closed; the money is available; your state needs that money; take it! I know that we as a people, in general, have a problem with the concept of extra money because we tend to treat it as if it will continue to flow. However, this is extra money to fill in the gaps and jump start economic activity if it is used properly. I would think that Republicans would understand this basic business concept: you have to spend money to make money. I understand that their problem is that the expense is being done by the government; however, we’ve tried giving boat loads of cash to the businesses and that didn’t quite work out so well.

Charlie Christ, republican governor of Florida , is taking the heat from his party, but he is not a fool. He will take the money and attempt to make it work for Florida which has taken a considerably economic hit in the housing and tourist sectors. Christ is setting himself up as, maybe, the softer republican. The republican who can still hold on to his core values, work for the people and work with the new administration to set himself up for the future. Against the backdrop of Rush Limbaugh, he may have a fighting chance of stepping away from the party in a more positive light that gives him the power of the people, a strong bargaining chip in the games of politics.

Oh, and lastly, since I live in Florida , for all you other states that don’t want some of that stimulus money, send it over to Charlie’s way.

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca
