How are you all?! I hope that you all are doing well, I am doing pretty myself and I have been busy lately! I know that I haven’t written an article for a several days, more than a week if my calculation is correct so I apologize about that because as I said I have been a lot busy lately and in additional with that my timing was out of the control as I struggled with keeping up with the time. Sometimes I wish that whoever invented a clock, which in that case unknown Egyptians when they invented a portable sundial and from there the timekeeping came to existence after the Egyptians figured out how to build a portable sundial using a vertical, gnomon or obelisk namely sundials and inventor(s) of sundials is unknown as the historians couldn’t find any information how it started from there. Only thing that they know is that sundials calculates by the sun when the sun moves across the ground and there are some sundials around here in the United States that you can find. You know these big table looking alike where it will tell you the time by looking at the shadow? That’s what sundials is and I will post a picture of it so to give you a better idea of what sundial is. Nonetheless, the time or clock is my enemy because I am never good at keeping up with the time or clock and I would often find myself off the track especially if I am doing some of the things that is time-consuming like writing an article since it usually takes me almost two hours after doing some research then write an article and double checks to make sure that I don’t miss out any information or anything. Imagine if in our lives there aren’t a way to tell what time it is? Wouldn’t that make any difference? I’d love to hear your thought on that in the comment section below!
I have noticed that I have not wrote an article since January 9th so I feel that I better get at it because I have always told myself that I cannot go any longer without writing an article more than a week or seven days. Tomorrow would have made it a week or seven days so I am in time before a week and that is a surprise for me as lately I have been off track with everything else that I have going on my plates. I am going to go ahead and start with the tidbits so I hope that all of you will enjoy some of the topics that I have in the store for some of you!

To Barrack Obama and Obama Family
I would like to bid each one of you a farewell as you all are leaving the white house in exactly five days. President Barrack Obama have served the Americans with dignity, classy and pride. I see that there is a lot of people especially the people who is in Republican Party says that Barrack Obama has done nothing good for the America, blamed him for increasing the United States debt and many of other things along with the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare. I was shocked to see that because from my perceptive I saw Barrack Obama made sure that all of Americans to have insurance so to help the Americans with their health and making sure that they are being taken care of as it is mandate by the law. I can understand that some of the people would prefer to not spend any of money on insurance and use the money for something else but the point is that the American’s life is more important than just something else. In result of that a lot of Americans life was saved, especially a few of the people discovered that they have cancer as they didn’t think that they had any cancer because they didn’t think that having insurance would be important. After being “mandated” to have insurance, this encouraged the Americans to get their health checked and in results of that it saved many Americans or delay their duration of life. You can easily find some of the story on search engine where some of the people will share about how they were saved through Obamacare as they discovered that they have cancer and the insurance covered them even though it may require a bit fee but what many does not realize is that a simple X-ray costs more than a thousand dollars while paying only $200-$300 premium a month so that is a steal if you ask me. With that said, Barrack Obama was the President who quickly found the mastermind terrorist of the 9/11 just in matter of a few months after becoming a president of the united states and a Republican president had 8 years of chance to find Osama Bin Laden but never did when Barrack Obama did in matter of a few months?
Imagine if we had another Republican president instead of Barrack Obama then we may not have found Osama Bin Laden for a several more years. I have a theory to why Republican President, at that time George W. Bush was taking so long time is because Republicans doing what they love doing and that is being in the war if they possibly can because the longer we are in war against a country means the more money we can profit from the war. So, in other word Republican profits a heck lot of money off the war that have killed several civilians including children and women while a Democrat like the President Barrack Obama had sent in the only one of their best military team to one spot to capture Osama Bin Laden instead of just mowing the entire country pretending that they’re searching for the mastermind terrorist but they are just delaying the war so to make profits from the war if possible.
For the first time in history a President of the United States had hired a receptionist of the white house aka ROTUS named Leah Katz-Hernandez who happens to be Deaf. No presidents of the united states have ever hired anyone who is Deaf or anyone else with a disability in that level of a position.
President Barrack Obama and its family have never mocked or made fun of anyone with disability. Have never made a such remark about women as if they are objectives and make sure that every human being in the United States have the freedom to love anyone regardless the genders that they are. Now I am going to share something personal here, I am Christian and I am against the idea of same-sex but there is no way in heck would I ever be against love. Love is so important for every human being, even for the people who prefer same-sex partners and whatnot.
Every president has their pros and cons. Barrack Obama is no different but he is one with dignity, integrity, pride and respect which that cannot be said for the President-elect Donald Trump. I wish Barrack Obama, Michelle Obama and the children nothing but the best in their future. I hope to see that they still have some kinds of voice in the white house because many of us need that especially with the darkness that’s coming in five days and that darkness is very hard to ignore.

#SaveACA
There has been a trend that’s going on the social media calls #SaveACA which that means Save Affordable Care Act and a lot of the people shares their voice on why they think it is important to keep Affordable Care Act or not repealing Affordable Care Act. If you heavily rely on Affordable Care Act which is a bill that expended Medicare and Medicaid program, then you are going to want to share your feelings with the hashtag #SaveACA on social media. House of Representatives have passed the repeal of Affordable Care Act and now it is sitting in the Senates so if you want to try to save Affordable Care Act then I highly suggest that you e-mail your senators and House Senators. When you e-mail them, be sure to share your personal feelings on why you think that it would be bad idea for them to pass to repeal Affordable Care Act and share your experience on how much Affordable Care Act have helped you. I have done my duty by sending e-mails to my senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul with my personal experience. I won’t share deeply in public on why I think we should save Affordable Care Act because it is my private matters, however I can share a small of it and maybe this will help some of you who have seen my tweets that talks a lot about #SaveACA to understand why it is important to me to not repeal Affordable Care Act. As some of you know I am Deaf or technically Hard of Hearing, I technically did not care about that but with other I do and that is I have a lot more disabilities than just Deaf. I am in wheelchair since I was nine years old after breaking the femur in my right leg in half, since then I couldn’t walk much anymore, I have scoliosis which is a curves spine in my back and I had a major surgery on that at the age of four or five which I have the scar to prove which is from my neck to my tailbone but they didn’t fix it as they only did was to fix as much as they possibly could even though it’s still in bad shape. Another thing is that I am a little person or there is a medical term for that and that is dwarfism which is offensive word to us who have that condition so with scoliosis is even worse than a normal bodied person has. After I was born, the doctor has told my mother that I wouldn’t live longer than the age of seven and I am about to turn thirty years old so because of affordable care act is what helps me to continue myself in existence. So yes, Affordable Care Act is very important for me and any of the people who doesn’t have a such disability may not look at Affordable Care Act as a good thing because they didn’t experience what I and many of others with disabilities have so in a way I think the Republicans who encourage the repeal of Affordable Care Act is inhumane thing to do because that can do more than harms especially to millions of us here in the United States of America.

So, thread lightly please, thank you.
P.S. If you are wondering how you can find who’s your senators and representatives you can do so by doing a search engine such as Google then type “Who’s My (state) Senators” or “Who’s My (state) Representatives” and remove the commercial symbol “()” then fill it with your state.
Kentucky Representative, Chris Harris
In the 2016 election on my voting ballot, Chris Harris was up for reelection against Norma Kirk-McCormick as Kentucky’s 93th district representative and my vote went to Chris Harris because he had done some great things for all the people in his district which is Pike County of Kentucky. I was very impressed with how he represents for us before his reelection, I decided to look for him on Twitter and as well for Norma Kirk-McCormick with a question for both which was “What would you do for Deaf Kentuckians?”. Out of both, Rep. Chris Harris was the only one who responded to my question and to my surprise that he had a family member who happens to be Deaf through his wife’s family so he knew some of the hurdles that Deaf people goes through daily. While I never got one response from Norma Kirk-McCormick so my vote immediately went to Chris Harris and since then I haven’t regretted that. After that day when I asked him a question, we kept contact with each other since then and the other day when I tweeted to ask if anyone in the government of Kentucky have some information or statistic for how many Deaf people that’s in Pike County of Kentucky Rep. Chris Harris saw my tweet so he took upon himself to gather the information for me in matter of few hours.
So, Rep Chris Harris, I thank you for working hard to make sure that we Kentuckians and the people of Pike County, Martin County to have a steady life. You are our voice, even though our voice may be weak against the government in Kentucky but you make sure that our voice becomes your voice and you use our voice in capital to make sure that we all have a quality life whether it’d be on education, jobs or health. I cannot be any prouder than to fight any issues there may be alongside you. Keep up with the great work, represent us well as you have done so for few years now and stand firm.
Our Future with Republicans for Four Years
If some of you, especially who cheered for Donald Trump since the beginning of his campaign haven’t noticed yet then I’d ask you make a visit to your doctor that is if you have an insurance by then haven’t noticed that many of the promises that Donald Trump have made is being broken as I am writing this article and this is on you. Remember that you cheered for Donald Trump because of his idea on building a wall in south between the Mexico and the United States that Mexico would be the one who pays for it? Well looks who is paying for it now. You. Remember that you cheered Donald Trump because where he said that he would prison Hillary Clinton by saying “Lock Her Up”? Well if you check up with the news then you would know by now that he has said that he won’t do that because he said he don’t think it’d be the right thing to do. If you aren’t aware of that as it has been said in several news, then it is no wonder why you cheered for Donald Trump as you weren’t well-informed on the fact that it might not be a such good idea to have him as President of the United States but again any mess that will be made by him is on you for not making the effort to do some research on both candidates before voting.
Plus, he seems to have bromance with Russia President Vladimir Putin and that isn’t a good thing because we need a president who is neutral when it comes to other countries. He need to cut that crap and stop making ourselves looks like as if we are a weakened country.
You honestly think that with Republicans in the control of the government that there would be a coal mines comeback? Think again. Since they have already discovered that powering the electricity using the natural gasoline is cheaper than coals and I don’t think that any corporations would want to pay more for coals when they found out that powering up the electricity with natural gasoline is cheaper. They know that if they have switch back to coals powered that it would means that an increase price for electricity and such that no one will pay that costs. After the kills of coal mines, using natural gasoline have brought down the costs of the electricity and it becomes more affordable for the Americans so I doubt they will want to go back to the higher costs with the mines that powers their electricity instead of natural gasoline. However, I do agree that we should bring some of the coal mines back, not all but some only for the purpose to make steels and such but to power the electricity or whatnot? No way. Our pollutions are becoming clearer for the first time in centuries and we want to keep it at that especially for our next generations so that they can survive longer.
With the President in the white house that have no politics background? We got a headless chicken running in the white house and that’s not a good sight. We’d be just as lucky if we don’t have a great depression that Barrack Obama saved us from when he took the office back in the year of 2009.
I’d like to get back on the subject about putting up the wall for the Mexico border. You do realize that by putting up wall on the Mexico border and if the President of Mexico would reimburse in due time is stirring a war between us both? Scary thought, isn’t it? If that’s to happen, believe it or not that we’ll be the one sitting back and put you Republicans in the front line because you are the ones who started this if that’s to happen so don’t forget that when that to happen but if it doesn’t happen then we are very lucky!
I predict that some of the Deaf institutes will getting heavy budget cuts and this will either lessen their education due to having to lay off many of qualified Deaf teachers who teaches the Deaf children. Not only that, I fear that it’s just not the Deaf education but also the mainstream school’s education as well because the Republicans prefer the private schools and will invest heavily in that while taking millions of dollars away from the schools that needs them the most.
I may be the first one of few to say this but it’s early and that may not happen but what’s worrisome is that the history doesn’t lie because the history shows that when we have Republicans in control of our country they don’t always turn out to be good. Is this me saying that I am giving them a chance? I am having real hard time to allow myself to give them a chance due to what history have said but I’ll leave it at that.
… The End.
It is getting a bit late, it is at 3:40AM and I am getting a bit tired so I think I am going to stop here so that I can give myself a breathing room to try to finish a few of tasks that I need to do before going to bed. Before I wrap this up, I would like to ask all of you to please submit your topics suggestion here that you would like for me to share my opinions or my thoughts in the next article!
