A Mini Thesaurus for Writers – Infographic…

Everyone needs a Mini Thesaurus!

Review Memes For Ya!

We, authors, live of reviews! I have had so many people compliment me on my novel. They often promise to write a review, but then, I guess, LIFE gets in the way!

Some days…

Yup, & somehow I’m supposed to find time to write. Sadly, I may have to give up Twitter until at least until I get some writing down each day!

Indigenous Rising Media: Resistance Grows Against Bayou Bridge Pipeline

I wanted to share the video “Resistance Grows Against Bayou Bridge Pipeline.” But it is not on YouTube & I was unable to copy it from FB group Indigenous Rising Media.
If anyone can get the link, please post it here.

On the eve of the opening of the L’eau Est La Vie Camp in South Louisiana, we want to provide some background on what the Bayou Bridge Pipeline is, it’s connection to the Dakota Access Pipeline, who the pipeline will impact, and why this pipeline needs to be stopped.

Tomorrow, June 24, the L’eau Est La Vie (Water is Life) Camp will open. This camp will be a hub for the resistance to the Bayou Bridge Pipeline.

Stand with Water Protectors in the Gulf Region as they rise to protect their wetlands, Indigenous rights, and the water that sustains their livelihood and culture.

Follow L’eau Est La Vie Camp

and visit NoBBP.org for more info on the pipeline.

Comments made between a woman & me somehow related to this article: Trump Just Made The 4th Of July All About Himself; Releases DISTURBING Video

Joan LeMonte Hey, you’re book sounds awesome. Did you hear about the illegal immigrant criminal who got picked up by ICE in San Francisco? He was from El Salvador. He sued the Sanctuary city and is being awarded $190,000. That’s what’s happening in America. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for these people and that is against the law.

 

Sherrie Miranda Some lawyer put him up to that! Don’t blame ALL the undocumented fleeing war & poverty & murder! We helped create those environments in their countries! Don’t believe me? Read my book!
















Joan LeMonte I’m not blaming him or any other illegal immigrant. He saw his opportunity and he grabbed it. Now he and his lawyer have set a precedent for every illegal immigrant who commits crimes to get the same amount of money or more from Sanctuary cities. And who pays for this? Taxpayers. I know Americans who can’t even afford to eat or buy diapers, let alone pay their rent. I would like to read your book, though.

 

Sherrie Miranda Being in this country without documents DOES NOT MAKE you a criminal! If it did, there would be thousands of Americans in MEXICAN JAILS! Blame Big Agriculture! They told the govt. 60-some years ago, they wanted to control their workers themselves! They did NOT want a visiting workers program like Canada has because they wanted to pay them low wages & blacklist anyone who talks about unionizing!

 

Sherrie Miranda BIG AG IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THESE IMMIGRANTS! IN FACT, THEY ARE ANGRY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO GET THE FOOD OUT OF THE FIELDS!

 

Sherrie Miranda BLAME BIG AG FOR ALL THE UNDOCUMENTED!

 

 Joan LeMonte No, I’m talking about those who commit crimes here. And BTW crossing our borders illegally is a crime. But I’m talking about those who came and are committing crimes here, like murder, human trafficking, Dui’s, stealing cars, drug trafficking and injuring Americans with drunk driving, etc.











Joan LeMonte Sanctuary cities cost taxpayers millions. So now if ICE picks up criminals, we pay for it just to award them $190,000! That’s just wrong. And it needs to stop. I just hope the Senate passes Kate’s law and the law against Sanctuary cities because Gov. Brown is about to make us a Sanctuary state. This is my home, my friends and families home. We can barely pay for ourselves. If you look up the statistics and facts, you will be in shock. We are forced to aid and abett illegal immigrants, which is against the law. I don’t care where they came from. It’s still against the law.
















Sherrie Miranda HUMAN TRAFFICKING is being done by OUR billionaires! How do you think these guys get so rich?! Runnin a Mom & Pop store?! The undocumented ARE NOT THE PROBLEM! If you love Trump, just say it! Don’t blame the poor for our problems. That’s what Hitler did! Look where it got him!

 

Sherrie Miranda Joan LeMonte You aren’t reading what I said! BLAME BIG AGRICULTURE! THEY ARE THE ONES WHO PAY FOR COYOTES TO BRING THEM HERE!

 

Sherrie Miranda Joan LeMonte Those are FAKE STATISTICS, likely from Judicial Watch, a group getting $$ to spread lies! I know these people! They are good, hard working people! The criminals stay in Mexico where their govt. protects them!

 

Joan LeMonte Sherrie Miranda I’m not blaming the poor. We are the poor. Trump has nothing to do with that. He just came on board. Human trafficking is done by alot of people, not just billionaires. I can blame BA but their not the ones coming across our borders by the droves. At least that has slowed down. Most likely because everyone is already here. I blame the criminals. Why should they not have to pay the price like Americans do? It’s disgusting.

 

Sherrie Miranda I feel sad that you are afraid of walking around your city. My city is 10 min. from the border & one of the safest in the country. We know each other & respect each other!

 

Sherrie Miranda YOU ARE TALKING IN CIRCLES! THESE ARE NOT THE CRIMINALS! THESE ARE VERY HARD WORKING PEOPLE TRYING TO SURVIVE! FIND A CHURCH WHERE THEY ARE PROTECTED & YOU WILL LEARN THE TRUTH! WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS NOT TRUE! I KNOW! I LIVE WITH THESE PEOPLE! THEY ARE SO GENEROUS WITH THEIR SMALL PAY, THEY GIVE TO THE HOMELESS & PANHANDLERS!

 

Joan LeMonte Well, that’s good! I’m not afraid. Why do people always go to fear? We are sick and tired of paying for it, that’s all.
















Sherrie Miranda Churches only give Sanctuary to families that will be killed if they go back. They are union leaders, teachers, nurses, even drs. Though they don’t get to do those jobs here. They come here & work for a pittance!

 

Sherrie Miranda Joan LeMonte WE’RE NOT PAYING FOR ANYTHING! WE ARE BENEFITTING BY HAVING AFFORDABLE FOOD! AND BY THE WAY, YOU ARE NOT POOR. DON’T TRY TO TELL ME THAT. IF YOU WERTE YOU WOULD KNOW THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY WOULD ACTUALLY HELP YOU. THEY LIVE THEIR CHRISTIANITY!










Joan LeMonte We are talking about two different things. And to be honest with you, we will disagree when it comes to criminals and how much they should be awarded by taxpayers.
















Joan LeMonte OMG! How do you know if I’m poor or not? Let’s face it, they also get welfare benefits and EBT cards. And they work for cash. I hope you do know that much. People in Ca. are tired of paying for it all. That’s not a sin. You’ve heard about little 6 yr. old Lennox? How about Jamal and Josh and the beautiful woman here who was killed by an illegal immigrant. He had already hit one car, then continued to hit her. Her 18yr. old son had to watch her die. She was engaged to be married. She and her fiance voted for Trump, thinking it would never happen to them. And then it did. These are the people I’m talking about. Not people who are living in churches.
















Sherrie Miranda No, it’s NOT two different things. You don’t want to admit that you just don’t like these people. You call them criminals because they’re undocumented. I say that’s not criminal. You call them murderers & commit other crimes & I say that’s not true. Criminals should not be awarded money & they obviously weren’t. That doesn’t happen in our criminal justice system.

 

Sherrie Miranda They do NOT get WELFARE! They are undocumented! They stay away from the government for fear of being arrested. You don’t understand. I’ve known these people for more than 25 years. Their biggest crime is working hard INSTEAD of Working smart.

 

Sherrie Miranda You are scapegoating just like Hitler & the Nazis did! Do you really think they are the problem?! The problem is OUR GOVERNMENT takes our money & gives it to the RICH!

 

Joan LeMonte Okay, I just posted it to your timeline. It’s true all the way from San Francisco. We are talking about 2 different things. I’m talking about people who commit crimes here, not hard working people. And yes, in Ca. they get welfare. $640 Million alone in Los Angeles.
















Joan LeMonte Hitler and the Nazis? Oh boy, that’s a low blow. However, I was born in Germany. My mom, dad and brother were in the army.
















Joan LeMonte I’m gonna sign off for now. Maybe we can talk later. Gotta call my niece.















Sherrie Miranda BUT YOU ARE CONFUSING TEO TOTALLY DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE! ONE undocumented guy commits vehicular homicide (probably not even that – he likely didn’t do it one purpose). So now you say ALL undocumented are criminals!

 

Joan LeMonte OMG! I didn’t say they were all criminals. You keep saying it.
















Sherrie Miranda Wow, you can’t see the forest for the trees, lady. Did Hitler killing Jews solve the problem? No, because the everyday working person is NOT the problem. But you go ahead & blame them & see if getting rid go them solves the problem!

 

Sherrie Miranda Joan LeMonte No, you say it & then try to say you’re NOT saying it!

My Final Comment: I have trouble believing an editor, Bookdoctor, Writer is poor. You would go out & find a better paying job if you were.

July 4, 2017 …. “

I’ve never been big on flags & fireworks (unless my dad was around ;->)! I always knew there lurked underneath this shell of optimism, tolerance & compassion, a shadow side. People who, because of their ignorance, don’t like their brown-skinned neighbor or the Lesbian co-worker. $th of July always reminded me that those people, the haters. They who call us haters – know nothing about how deep our love & passion for not only our countrymen, but for all the people of the world, runs so deep that we cry when they cry. We hurt when they hurt. Most of us are doing fine ourselves, but we want EVERYONE to be doing fine. It is possible! We must KNOW & REMEMBER THAT! Our day will come.

Peace, love & justice for all,

Sherrie
