Shame on you, Donald!

This is appalling, disgusting, nauseating, infuriating . . . and the string of adjectives could go on and on and on--even to include some that never before in my life I thought I'd ever use.

As a Catholic, I'm proud to see that the Vatican sternly condemned you, Donald. As a mother thrilled to have among my children two amazing sons from Haiti, I cannot forgive you. As an immigration attorney having represented many kind, law-abiding, respectful clients from El Salvador, I find your comment revolting. As a strong ProLife supporter, I tell that you have not the least idea of what the sanctity of human life is all about. As a human being I'm happy to see that the whole world decries your racial slur. 

Amidst the global dismay at such an offensive, inelegant, rude, outrageous, preposterous comment, former Mexican president Vicente Fox had a totally appropriate and well-deserved response by calling Trump's mouth "the foulest shithole in the world."

Think about it: Being the so-called president of the united States, you refer to the African nations, Haiti, and El Salvador as "shithole countries." What were you thinking about?

What else is needed to remove you from office? You're not a president, but only a jerk with a filthy mouth.

Yes, Donald, you don't deserve to be called in any other way. You entirely lack the moral authority to lead anything at all. That comment was trash--and reveals the trash, garbage, cancer, poison, intoxication of racism and hatred in your heart.

Christmas 2016. Yes, posting over one year later!





No, I'm not making a mistake. The following are our Christmas 2016 pics. It took me over one year to post. We have awesome pics for this year as well---but not that awesome if we consider that one of us was not at home. Maximilian is in the hospital. He is not at risk, but there are many emotional factors from his past that make it complicated. In addition to his numerous challenges, he spent his first ten years of life in a Bulgarian orphanage. He still has many unresolved adoption issues.  In 2016 it was all nine of us at home--with our very own saints from Heaven watching over us. My parents and grandparents are there as really as when I was a child. I won't say how long ago that was.

For 2017 we have some photos with Maximilian--but those were taken at the hospital . . . not at home. Yet, after some very hard times, we had a small Christmas miracle. Well, I'm jumping forward one full year. I still need to post my 2017 Christmas pics . .  as soon as I can.

For now, this is my 2016 Christmas album, Part I. Here it goes:
