Trump. ugh

Trump

He lies and steals.  He is a 34-count felon and a misogynist who sexually assaults women.  The Republican Party has been  hijacked by MAGA.  TO go back to a conservative “normal” Republican Party I have to vote for a Democrat.  It’s the only way to rid us of the Trump infection.


Trump fails the character test, laid out in my faith and my scriptures. 


I can’t vote for a guy who disparages people.  Everyone is “stupid” except for him.    I can’t  hold him up to my children and grandchildren as this is the type of person who should be President of the US .. He is  how the USA  is represented throughout the world, and he’s an embarrassment.


He disdains the court system, the rule of law, the constitution, women, any marginalized people, elections.    Plus he’s anti- LGBTQ. 

 

I truly can’t get my head around why he is still considered a decent option for president.  His Project 2025 which of course he claims to know nothing about, but he’s mentioned in it over 70 times is medieval— getting rid of the National Weather Service and the National Board of Education, not to mention no abortion not even for rape or incest.  Taking over all Women's reproductive issues.  ( Why aren't we concerned with Men's reproductive issues and mandate a vasectomy for every male at age 18 until they are ready to have children?-- that would solve a lot of these issues-- of course in our patriarchal society that would never happen... we need to control women, not men).  Trump is old and could leave us ( die or be deemed incompetent) but his option for VP is a disaster as well. JD Vance is Trump 2.0- so scary…wants to overthrow the government as we know it and start “fresh” and get rid of all our Universities.


Kamala Harris- has her faults too, but she is kind and  is open to having diverse people and view points around her. She wants a big tent.  I want this too.

Sister Act Opened

 Sister Act opened on Friday night and we had a very noisy, appreciative audience.  It was really so fun to perform and to tell this gorgeous story about love, and acceptance and sacrifice.  It's so sweet and I love the gospel music singing to Jesus.  So much joy on the stage.  

I think this show is really well-cast.  Strong voices  and we get along off stage and on.  Playing the Mother Superior has been a role I really looked forward to playing.  Last time I was in this show I really wanted to sing and dnace and be in the nun chorus and it was a riot...But the Mother Superior has two great songs, plus a big acting character arch from judgment and isolation to Love and openness. 



Wayne and Wanee and Holly came to opening night.


The production team of Kristin Callor as director, Aaron Ford as Choreographer and Jessica Rampton as Music director have made this a lovely experience.
