The talking heads in the media are just all over themselves on the elections

that just happened, across the country.

The one thing of importance that they missed is that woman of all color stayed in line to vote and have been involved since day one.

It started last year right before the fiasco going into the white house, who has no business being in that institution, and the woman in this country have been resolved to take this person down for not only for what he is but as to an insult to their dignity, that they so rightly deserve.

More woman have been running in local and state elections this year than ever, and next year is going to be bigger, the giant as awoken

I watched some, not all of the news programs before the election,and what was really disgusting, was the way the media tried in earnest in some cases, to make the election a close call in Virginia my home state. It appeared in my mind, that every news segment had some commercial explanation of the no chin right wing hypocrite, who undoubtedly saw the internal polls showing that he was losing the contest, so he decided to go rouge, I like to say, to try the road map of hate and divisiveness, that failed.

The media tried with all of there might prior to the elections to try and divide a party because of a book, to try and inflame the situation, and in some cases for ratings, and only for ratings, without looking at the underling issue, they were in most cases treated like an object.

One organization was speaking about the situation of a movie mogul, they had no coverage of the election, so to speak.


These are my observations, I portend that in the 2018 cycle of the House and Senate elections, the republicans are not going to be able to hide, 14 seats in Virginia flipped, and if that is any indications, the right wing republicans are going to start throwing each other under the bus........................my answer, good.

Everyone is going around saying that there is no message from the party.

I don't know what I am missing but the message that I as a democrat have been supporting and hearings is heath care, child care, the environment, wages

The media says that we are not connecting to the workers , they are wrong, we have always tried to connect................


So in closing on this rant, I would like to say:

THANK YOU to all of you that were in the precincts, all of you that ran and won, and those that did not, we still support you, and will again.

To all of the tireless campaign staffers, and to the people that donated to win this and other races and others.................in 2018.

We are coming, the job is not quite done, but we are coming, and we are going to take this country back, because this country belongs to the people

Women, in general, are the hope for our future and need to join together. This is just the first salvo.
