Great music! Amazing lyrics! Rest in power, Marvin …
And We Thought Trump Was Horrible?
It is scary what’s happening throughout the world, especially because these politicians are winning through telling lies. We are all one our way to losing democracy completely. I hope people wake up before it’s too late.

On Sunday, October 7th, Brazilians elected a new president, Jair Bolsonaro. Until this man was elected, I thought that the U.S. was alone in having lost its collective mind, as evidenced by the election of Donald Trump. Bolsonaro is every abominable thing Trump is … and much more. I have to question the sanity of the 55% of Brazilians who voted for this demagogue. But then, I have long questioned the sanity of those in the U.S. who voted for Donald Trump, also. Oh, and guess who worked on Bolsonaro’s campaign? None other than Trump’s former campaign advisor, Steve Bannon!!!
First let’s look at some similarities …
Opposes most all forms of gun control
Strongly opposed to same-sex marriage
Opposes environmental regulations
Opposes women’s right of choice
Opposes affirmative action
Opposes land reforms
Opposes secularism
Plans to pull out of Paris climate accord
Plans to move Brazil’s embassy…

Rosie’s #Bookreview Team #RBRT Relationship novel The Men by @fannycalder #fridayreads
Sounds like a refreshing read about a time in the narrator’s life that many of us are familiar with.

Today’s team review is from Alison, she blogs here https://alisonwilliamswriting.wordpress.com/
Alison has been reading The Men by Fanny Calder
How refreshing to read something different, something honest and authentic. This is a book that is what it says it is – raw and unflinchingly honest. It follows the experiences of an unnamed woman as she moves from encounter to encounter and from relationship to relationship, making mistakes, getting into difficult situations, looking for something she can’t quite reach.
The relationships she has make for a compelling read, and one that is difficult at times. I found the first few episodes a little irritating to be honest and I wasn’t sure I was going to like the narrator or the book, but then, as things progressed, I warmed to her and became really engrossed in the narrative. She grows on you and you find yourself feeling angry with her, sorry…

What Amazon says
The queen of Magia and her court have fled their sun filled Spanish homeland and the palace beneath the magnolia tree.
Arriving on the backs of geese and swans, they seek sanctuary in the magic garden of The Storyteller who welcomes them to the Emerald Island, a place where rain is almost a daily feature.
Grateful for their safe haven and the generosity of their host, the queen and her courtiers embrace their new surroundings with delight.
As the seasons change throughout the year, they come into contact with many of the human and animal inhabitants of the garden and the surrounding forest, all of whom have a story to tell.
This is a magical fairy story infused with fantasy and romance, as well as opportunities for mischief in the company of goblins, witches and Lerpersians.
My review
Tales from the Irish Garden is a wonderful book…

♫ Where Have All The Flowers Gone? ♫
I sing this song when I exercise on my elliptical! It’s a reminder to never stop working for PEACE! I change “young girls” to “Women” because as Maya Angelou says “When we know better, we do better.” ENJOY THE SONG!

This song suits my mood tonight. I think perhaps it suits the state of our nation tonight.
Pete Seeger (May 3, 1919 – January 27, 2014)
Pete Seeger, who died in January 2014 at the age of 94, wrote this song, and the following is his story of how the song came to be:
“I had been reading a long novel—”And Quiet Flows the Don”—about the Don River in Russia and the Cossacks who lived along it in the 19th century. It describes the Cossack soldiers galloping off to join the Czar’s army, singing as they go. Three lines from a song are quoted in the book: ‘Where are the flowers? The girls plucked them / Where are the girls? They’re all married / Where are the men? They’re all in the army.’ I never got around to looking up the song, but I wrote down those three lines.

William La Jeunesse reports from Mexico (Fox News/screen grab)
FOX NEWS reporter William LaJeunesse who is an embedded in the midst of the refugee caravan is disputing the republican President Donald J. Trump’s claims that this caravan of refugees fleeing the violence in Honduras by heading towards the US -Mexican border via Guatemala are comprised of ‘bad peoples.’
On October 23, 2018, David Edwards of Raw Story penned the following report, “Fox News embedded reporter burns Trump on caravan criminals: ‘Most are driven by poverty and a better life.”
Excerpts:
“Fox News reporter embedded with a caravan of migrants in Central America on Tuesday (10/23/18) knocked down President Donald Trump’s claim that most of them were “bad people.”
“Reporting from Tapachula, Mexico, Fox News’ William La Jeunesse told host Sandra Smith that the president had been wrong about the people traveling with the caravan.”
