An Ode To The Resistance (Part 3 of 3)

"She'd tell him to fuck off."

An Ode To The Resistance (Part 3 of 3)
musictimes.com

The last two weeks, I've left you with two of the voices of reason in “The Resistance.” Last week, I presented to you those who prefer the highly blunt Bill Maher, and can afford the $15 a month for HBO in your cable or satellite provider of choice. Two weeks ago, I presented to you a man who could only be chained down by ‘the man,’ who is now featured under the very title of ‘The Resistance,’ Keith Olbermann. Now, for the finale in this mini-series.

The next member in my vision for ‘the big three’ in ‘The Resistance’ comes from ventures on E! Entertainment television (for those of you wishing to gain a little intelligence and humor from Keeping Up With The Kardashians, though one of Kim’s Tweets may have caused me to amend such a view.) on a show called Chelsea Lately from 2007 to 2014.

Chelsea Handler, having been on Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in 2012, started a documentary series, Chelsea Does, where the comedian riffs on such matters as drugs, and how they make you feel after taking certain medicines. This also takes on such pressing matters as marriage and its influence on the woman’s life, and racism, taking on a matter-of-act, humorous persona about its effects.

On The Daily Caller, she is quoted as saying ‘he is defiling the White House,” in response to Donald Trump’s knowledge, or lack thereof, about how the government works. You may recall that Trump’s Muslim Ban got shot down by not one, not two, but THREE FEDERAL JUDGES. All the while, the 45th President of the United States has full blown temper tantrums akin to a junior high or high school girl, on Twitter, who just got shot down for the prom. He aggressively Tweets: “SEE YOU IN COURT! OUR DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE!”

Uh, Donny, they’re judges. Of course you will. Dummy.

Recently, Handler participated in the Women’s Marches the day after Trump’s Inauguration. At a Democratic Retreat in Baltimore last Friday, Representative Joe Crowley of New York, also chairman of the House Democrat Caucus, told reporters “She wanted to be here.”

They loved having Handler at the retreat. Her personality, wit, and humor is what led so many members of ‘The Resistance’ to flock to her Netflix-exclusive show, Chelsea.

Speaking of her show, she is on the record as saying that she would never invite Trump or his wife, Melania, on her show, Quite simply, she’d tell Trump, like so many of us want to do, to ‘fuck off.’

She never made fun of Obama because ‘he was so responsible and such a leader.’

Catch new episodes of her show on Netflix every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Resist. Peace.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
