Is Donald Trump Going to Be America's Next President?

I thought it was a joke when I heard that Donald Trump was running for United States Presidency. Not because I have anything against the man, but because I thought he didn't exactly embody the same virtuous characters I see in Obama...like humility.

However, I do admit that I find myself more fascinated with Donald Trump as the race for the presidency heats up. He commits all the social faux pas which most of us would not expect from one who is contending for the highest political position in the United States. Love him or hate him, the fact remains that Donald Trump's running for Presidency has revitalized a considerable level of interest in the Republican party.

 He has made it far more interesting to watch and follow Politics in general because most of us can't wait to see what he's going to say next. And if you think Donald Trump isn't the right man for the job and you ask him why he's so confident that he would be right pick, he just may bite you with this reply which has almost become his trademark slogan: "Because I'm rich...I'm vey rich."

As we all know in America,  (The land of the brave and free), anything is possible and Trump just may surprise us all to clinch the win.. Who knows? In the meantime lets keep watching this exciting and entertaining moment in American Politics.

I was shedding tears of laughter when I came across this video skit of Donald Trump being interviewed by Jimmy Fallon who happens to be playing Donald Trump. Did I confuse you yet?

 Just Watch.

A prayer for our Brothers and Sisters in Syria

    

Father, I pray that you accept the souls of all those who have perished in Syria. I pray that you intervene in that nation and help bring an end to the chaos in that country. Women, Men, Babies and children have perished and many innocent lives who began this year with us are no longer with us. Make a way for the refugees and as many of them flee that nation into other countries, I pray that you will provide help for them in the form of Angels Among us. May men and women rise up everywhere to lend them a helping hand.

MY BIG FAT FABULOUS LIFE

Whitney Thore is the star of the hit TLC show "My Big Fat Fabulous Life." The new and hip TLC show is grabbing a lot of public attention not only because it highlights her daily weight loss struggles, but it also gives viewers a chance to see that one can have fun on the way to achieving a happier and healthier lifestyle. Proving that she was born for the lights and camera, Whitney carries herself with a powerful and infectious confidence inspiring others in similar situations to embrace their bodies and not to be ashamed of who they are.

My Big Fat Fabulous Life has helped to bring a medical syndrome known as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome to the forefront of public consciousness. This was the syndrome which resulted in Whitney packing in as much as 200 pounds over a one year period during her college days.

 The small town North Carolina native stepped into fame after her featured Youtube video titled "A fat Girl Dancing" went viral on the popular social site. Refusing to hide in the background or succumb to society's predisposition to "fat shaming", Whitney is undeterred by the negative remarks of people who think she's crossing the lines with such bold exposures of her body size and personal story. The once slim dancer instead challenges all of society's expectations for women like her and is even paving the way by training others in the art of dance.

Catch "My Big Fat Fabulous Life" on TLC (The Learning Channel) on Wednesdays at 9 Pm Eastern Time.

No End In Sight For Chris Brown's Legal Problems

  Chris Brown was in court for a probation progress report when the judge told of multiple problems in the report including a shooting in San Jose while he was on stage, resulting in the injury of 5 people. Although there is no evidence which holds him liable for the shootings, his probation officer pointed out that Brown was arrested twice while on probation. One of those arrests was for an assault in DC and another arrest was for throwing a rock at his mother's car while in rehab.

It's  alleged that the probation officer believes that Chris Brown is paying more attention to his performances rather than rehabilitation and community service. He has recommended to the judge that Chris should serve time for his violations. A formal hearing on March 20 will determine Brown's fate. We pray a resolution will be found which will enable the young singer to make certain lifestyle changes and resume a normal life once more.
