This is an inspiration for a really phenomenal piece of writing FROM me.
Not sure when I will get it written and revised and edited well enough to be published but, make no mistake: Barack Obama inspired it and ME!

Almost daily someone wants to tell me that I should mind my own business and stay out of US "politics". So almost daily I have to remind them that Trumpism affects global economics, environment and peace. I'll do what every concerned global citizen should do. I'll express my opinion. Loudly.

Republicans just wrapped a meeting on healthcare and not even pretending to have a plan.
They’re blaming Dems for the shutdown, as if that stopped them from doing the job. They were still getting paid, they could have been working the entire time.
15 years of whining about Obamacare—still nothing!

“Some have even said that they have never seen such strong results.”
Trump says reporting on his health is "seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean 'THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.' They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it."

The separation of Church and State demands DHS demands be ignored!
ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.
“ICE Was Here”: Pope Leo-Inspired Nativity Scene Sparks MAGA Outrage
A Nativity scene missing Jesus — and marked with an “ICE was here” sign — has triggered cries of “politicizing Christmas.” The parish priest says he’s answering Pope Leo's call to welcome stranger.

Democrats overperformed everywhere.
Miami flipped blue with a nearly 90-point swing.
Palm Beach’s House race swung 18 left.
The Villages’ Senate race swung 22.
