The Real Face of Democrats

O my...I wish I could stop talking and sharing about all this political nonsense. God help me. Please, please, please.
First, I precise that I like that song and his performances. It just came into my mind and I wanted to share it with you Second, I am sorry if sharing it here offends you. it is just a way to make that post less harsh since. I can't describe enough my disappointment mixed with sadness. I think it is important to seriously protect our children and teach them the way. ( according to God) As I was sipping my hot chocolate this morning, I fell into this article. I was like Huh?! Hold on! No! wait a minute! That has to be a Joke! please please please read it but you can as well do your own research on that matter. Maybe I got all that wrong. Maybe someone can explain it to me better.
Today I look at my anti Trump friends and I say nothing. people are quiet now they can't explain that. They told me on the election day that Biden was better. than Trump. See what shines isn't necessary gold. They voted for the team because they said they wanted to see a Black woman in an important position. But see like I said in a previous post it is not about what u look but the quality and the ability. the competency and the skill. See? You kept trying to show them the red flags and say maybe Donald Trump isn't the best but I am sure he is better than the coming administration. Now see?
Today you have the duo Biden/ Harris. Whenever these two open their mouth, you scratch your head. Honestly how are they doing so far? They can't handle properly the border crisis. and other things. People were angry when Trump said build the wall. Seriously my question to them was : Why are you mad at a leader who wants to protect his people and his country. I don't get your anger. Is it bad to ask to people to enter in normal port entries? I know you can't control such things but we know that America welcomed many refugees. It is another legal way to enter too and btw I saw how America takes good care of those who came on refugee status. ( Why going so far? There is a congresswoman I won't put her name here, who went in America under this status if I got it right and see? She lives the American dream today right?) Ok, Then let's all go illegally to America people! why not? Papa Joe is paying for us doing it. Well, it is time to do it people. thanks to the new administration. lol!! I am not criticizing just observing...
Now look, the mask is falling. now look the real Face of Democrats. they worry first and more for illegal immigrants than their own people. They are READY TO PAY REPARATION for people who intentionally broke the laws by illegally entering their country knowing the consequences. Look, I have Nothing against illegal immigrants, I think every people have the Right to dream of freedom, better life. the right to live safe and you can't control that need but I also understand that there are consequences on illegal immigration. Encouraging it isn't a way to create more tension in your country? create more division, xenophobia and anger? No wonder why people will hate immigrants even if they didn't come the same way. You know there are always ignorant people but the frustration can make people mix everything in their head it is basically like saying: " Congratulations! you who crossed the borders illegally, we are going to helo you as for you there entering the normal port entries legally sorry you guys are just a bunch of..." If you know the stress they make us go through at the international airport when you go to America. They ask you sp many questions to the point where u end up questioning yourself. It is Scary dear!; But we take it because that's the legal way to enter. Dear Democrats, then Why we, legal immigrants MUST GO THROUGH ALL These difficult laws, documentation and procedures to enter and live in your country spending so much money ( yes my Son is American, he won't go through all that but I talk about my own experience and I recently wrote a book on that matter)
Many legal immigrants will tell what it is. I will post the translated book in English soon and I might share a review on it. Then on the other side someone can just decide to break the laws enter illegally the border of the U.S and get REPARATION for violating the laws. I think about all the American people who are working so hard for their country's economy. I think about the U.S men and women in uniform (and their families) who are going overseas to fight for freedom and their flag. and I am thinking about all the legal immigrants who participate to make that country great. Dear Democrats you worry so much about Race and racial issues. Since you want to pay REPARATION for illegal immigrants because families have been separated, please think about Black America, during slavery. millions of families were separated for years! starting from Africa. They were intentionally separated btw. so maybe you can do something about it. I Think about Native Americans. o yes! I think they need that REPARATION first. I think about Asian Americans who were separated when after Pearl harbor some of them were sent back when they didn't have any more ties there. Things were taken from them as well. They were peacefully living and working in and for America when suddenly after Pearl harbor they were accused of being spies. Let's be fair for everyone. The mask is falling. This is the real face of the left. It is not about America first. or Americans first. it is about others first. You are the political party who always use the racial cards. You worry so much about racial issues and I applaud you for that now please please please, show us the love. As for me, judging on that hypocrisy, I think we need Orange Man back.

There is No More Freedom of Speech

I am scared and I am worried about this new world in which we are living in. My question today is: Is there any freedom of Speech again? maybe my question isn't written in a correct English but seriously I am worried. Looking at the way someone can be treated by just standing for what he believes in or what he can just be saying and what he thinks. I thought dictatorship was just something found in some non developed countries like mine. I am shocked to see that the western world who always wanted to portray the ideology of Freedom such as freedom of choices, freedom of religion, freedom of speech and so on are now the one seeming to shut down that Human Rights. I find it quite disturbing. I am confused...With all those philosophical books writting to teach about humans relations, how we should be living etc. They wanted us to look the western world as an example and leader in many things and now today, they lock people up, they force you to wear masks. How do you eat and smile? Today , they control what people must think and say. Ok! can someone explain to me what's going on? Just to name few examples: Looking at the way people are forced to get covid vaccine or else you are fired from your job. I mean if people support women when it comes to abortion ( I am pro Life btw) They say "my body, my choice" why this same argument can't be applied for the vaccine? Some people say bc they can contaminate others. So why wearing mask again and practice barrier measures when u are already vaccinated? Can someone explain to me this thing better please? I need to understand. I am not educated on that matter. if I am not sure of how my body will react why should I take the vaccine? if it is ok to make a choice of killing an innocent life who cannot plead in Court With a lawyer on his side for his life ( whereas a serial killer can still say he is innocent and have a lawyer defending his case while the innocent unborn baby can say nothing and must accept a death penalty) I understand nothing about this world anymore. I am seriously confused because yes, some people who have been vaccinated can still contract COVID. does it make any sense?? I am lost. Looking at the way some people will focus on race, racial this and racial that. Let me tell you something, people who take too much time talking and thinking about races are actually hidden racist people. If you carefully listen to them you will get my point. they are racists with some complex issues of either superiority or inferiority. If you belong to God you should understand that God does care about salvation of the souls and not Races. As a matter of fact, the Bible doesn't really tell a lot about Jesus Christ's skin color. Humans are the only one making many speculations because what matters to them is what is outside whereas God looks what is inside. Who cares what color of skin Jesus was living in?
What matters is what He does for humankind on the cross. Race is not a discussion that God will certainly enter in. He will only asked Are you saved? He created different skin colors and races on purpose. let's accept and love our differences please! can we? We can make some hypothesis about how he looked like but we are not 100% sure. Just know that No one is perfect. We all have mean people in families, in countries, in neighborhoods and in races. Also, We all have good people in families, in communities, in neighborhoods, in countries and in races. I will never be the devil's Agent to spread anger , hatred and division. If in the same household, siblings from same mom and dad, we can have different personalities why not seeing the same thing when it comes to race? i don't get it! Nobody brings that discussion in my house. My parents never raised me to see racial differences. If someone bring that in my house, I will ask him or her to leave and go divide somewhere else Looking at the way some people are treated when they express and explain their religious beliefs. Christianity is the one mostly mocked and ridiculed eventhough the gospel of Jesus Christ teaches peace, forgiveness and love. Nowadays, if you even try to mention what the Bible says about a certain lifestyle, they call you haters and say you are judging them. But it is not you but the Word of God that says such and such. They want you to bend to their way of seeing life and put God aside knowing perfectly that after death you will have to face Him and be accountable for your action. Again, I am not judging, I am just trying to live up to what God expect me to do. I am not judging , I am not perfect. i can show you what the Bible says exactly on such and such. But no, they will throw stones at you because you're just trying to share the words.People will come up with many theories to justify one's actions when it is already said what God thinks on that matter. At the end of the day your thoughts against what God says will not remove the fundamental Truth. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the Life. Now go complain where you want He is still sitting on the Throne you like it or not. and Gosh! we humans are difficult! People can no longer speak freely anymore. Before making a statement, they must kind of think and think then, apologize several times before saying something. like bending to get approval from Who!? the "They". The They who Decide what to say It is crazy! People died for us to use freely this freedom of speech and now some groups are like : " we will give it to you only if you say what we want to hear" Really now? We are going backwards? Looking at the way some people focus too much on race and see systemic racism everywhere. now we are living in fear of saying something. If you dare make a constructive comment on someone who has a specific color of skin, you can get in trouble even when the world can see you are right. Now I can't stop laughing thinking about that hypocrisy. wow! no comment. if you have for instance a certain or a different view about a social matter, or politics, you become a threat to...I don't know who. Wow! Wake up! can't you see things don't make any sense. Bob Marley back in the days sang a song starting with "get up,stand up.Stand up for your rights..." ok that was back then but...are we still on tne same issues today? that's pretty shocking to me So my look today is about what recently happened on the headlines. Again, freedom of speech isn't something to expect anymore. We are all different but it seems like this world wants us to be exactly the same. thinking the same, doing the same...I mean there are some groups ( I won't name them here bc maybe blogger will cancel again another post from this blog) who have the power to cancel you. There is a bad wind, there is a movement associated with the media today that make the world going into a very strange direction. I am worried... I am sitting here, reading the news every day and I am like wow! no comment. I prefer to say nothing but I close this short post with something to think about
Do you understand what's going on here? I am shaking my head. I mean we all know Dave Chappelle and his style of comedy. Now He is in trouble for what? for doing what he is Supposed to do. I mean...no comment. The media and some peoplehave this talent to manipulate or twist your words. They want to hear what they want to hear. they cut and spread things that u haven't exactly said. they do it their way. He said: " I am not bending to anybody's demand " That's a strong statement. yes, Dave Chappelle is the Man. Btw that doesn't remind you of a former president who went through the exact same thing? everything he was saying...ok! I stop right here. Please Lord save us and protect us. well, Stand for what you believe in guys. We are in the days where we must know our side. that's the lesson to learn from what is happening to him. strength to him. thank you for reading. you can also visit my website: www.poshenvogue.com

My life in Gabon

People ask me how my life is in Gabon since i left the U.S. First, I didn't leave like leaving...I went back Home because after my Dad passed away, I didn't reconnect with my country and my family. after 15 years, I think it was about time to go back home. I am African from a tribe who is really attached to the land, roots and culture. The truth is I am the only child of my parents who is back home now. My uncle sometimes says: " the spirit of your father was calling you " (smile) that's old saying to say return back home...People used to say the ancestors are calling you back to the roots. I am very happy I made that decision and if you remember about some year's ago I said something Was calling me back home and that was necessary because today i am learning so much! My life is so different and interesting. I don't say that my country is perfect. Not at all! but there are things that I personally do that make me happy. Of course I will go back to America but in a different time. I am ok. My peaceful state of mind is really accomplished when I go out of town. When I go to the countryside, my village, away from all the noise of the city, the politics. Away from the CoVid fear and drama. I understand now why my father liked Donguila so much! He would be going for work in many countries around the world but when he was coming back to Gabon, he would not stay in town. the day after his arrivals, he packed his stuffs to go to Donguila. There he will be relaxed, inspired to write and work on improving the lands he bought. Now i feel the same way. I am so thankful he showed me the way even if i was too young to understand... You have no idea how peaceful it is there and i am looking forward to spend my first Xmas vacation on my own there for the first time. I will see what i can do for people who are curious to stay in natural places. i still need to clean our home there and guess what? I am now the one who is taking care of what Dad left. Remember that video when I said Donguila i will be back for you. Donguila i didn't forget you. I know who I am and where I am coming from. When I hear the song in the video I made, i cry because there is so many memories. The song is in my native language and it talks about "Home". I didn't care much when I was young but now I understand. I get it. . it reminds me of the best family moments. I hope my son will follow this path. Do the same thing but better than me
A person without knowledge of his roots is like a dead tree. Never ever be ashamed of who you are, of where you're coming from. Never be ashamed of your culture. You can take me to the biggest luxurious place in the world, I will be glad but you can never remove my love for my little place called Donguila. I have a challenge to make it look good again. I saw my dad working so hard to keep it. unfortunately my son's father doesn't understand why I left America for this "lost" place. I understand some people have different culture. Mine is definitely different... When I went to my father's grave, I cried but i promised him I will be there for what he worked so hard. land is everything. He left something bigger than money. I have already written few articles about my village and my hometown Libreville in this blog. I miss many things. I still have old good memories but things have changed... It is a very difficult task To take care of the farm etc and you will understand why. Never did i imagine taking such responsibility. I surprise myself sometimes doing things i could never do. When returning home after many years, my cousin and my nephew took me to Donguila. the custom wants us to greet the elders first. Something that I did. However they asked me where were my two brothers? Not in Gabon. then one of them told me a woman and especially according to our culture a daughter is not supposed to take responsibilities such as working the father's farm etc. Sometimes old customs can be rough and heartbreaking. To him it requires a certain skill and ability. which is true. But Another elder responded right away, if the sons aren't here and not available then, the daughter can do it. It doesn't matter as long as she is willing to do it she will learn. And trust me i am learning. As i listened to them it comforted me to hear the last response. So yes, I can do it! The first days of work in Donguila were upsetting because everything was left with no care. I am talking about natural landscape from equatorial area. The ever green forest.Do you know what i mean!? You feel like being like an explorer seriously lost in the bush. That kind of soil grows herbs and trees very fast. And yes it is a rich soil for agricultural activities.Trust me working on a farm is a lot of work and patience. When i was young, i used to see my parents doing it and I thought it was easy. No it is Not! I must have a copybook and diary where i must write everything that i need to accomplish and what has been done. I saw my father doing it so I should certainly do the same thing.
and by the way i am still a working mom. I mudt take care of my son. I also hired someone who is taking care of the farm since i am not living there. i must always call and make the trip there to see what has been done. To be honest, I am no longer interested to work in offices, in buildings. working for people. Last time at my workplace i was sitting in front of my computer doing the same eternal job. Gosh it is boring! I was lost in my thoughts as i had the view in front of me, of the city from the big glass window and a sweet voice whispered in my ears "Donguila three times. My boss'voice was like an echo. i knew i had to go that weekend to my place but i am thinking about doing more in the land of my father. it is big and i can get more than what i make in that office. For now, I planted 31 Fruits trees (lemon, Orange trees, and trees that have local fruits) Today many young educated African s are going back to working the land. they invest in farming. this is the future for Africa i guess So how is my life in Gabon so far? Good! No regrets. I made the right decision. I share here with you some videos of my life and I hope to write more about my activities. in my videos i take you in the natural landscape and the peaceful water of my hometown with songs of local artists. Thank you for reading. Close your eyes and enjoy. listen to the sound of the waves. I actually don't live far from the beach. just 10 minutes walking distance. i like to go there and have the ocean breeze touching my skin and refreshing me. I like filming the landscape, mother nature...
with my young cousin, we went to eat some frozen yogurt
yes I am a foodie person! smile!
The view of the town, the sunset and the sea from work. People are going back home...that's our life in our little town you can see cars driving fast on the coast side of the town center
Time to take care of myself...
The day you go early at work , you are kind of bored. some days like that. So you watch the Same view of the city and how the sunrise and it gives this
and last not least my beloved land, my dear Donguila as you can see there are few more people that I paid to help cutting trees and the bushy grass etc. after this step I will be planting more. maybe you will follow my journey. I love the facts that antelopes are coming down there early morning to drink my river's water. I want them to feel safe in my piece of land.smile I have to be careful about the way I will plant pineapples because pythons like pineapples a lot. pineapple attracts them a lot because they use it for their venom. I learn all that...so I will buy a snake repellent.
and that old video with a well known Gabonese artist Oliver Ngoma I made it when i did not know how to edit and make videos
