Trouble in Trump's World ... Again

Reaction to Trump's p**** comment

Trouble in Trump's World ... Again

In a 2005 audio recording, Donald Trump was recorded making sexual comments about women with Billy Bush who was the host of Access Hollywood at that time. When talking about an unnamed woman, Trump made multiple remarks including "I did try and f*** her" and "I moved on her very heavily: and "I moved on her like a b****, but I couldn't get there. And she was married."

The comment that really caught people's attention was when Trump said, "You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful, I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet ... And when you're a star they let you do it, you can do anything ... Grab them by the pussy."

When asked about these remarks, Trump brushed off these "locker room banter" comments. Donald Trump posted a 90-second apology video where he said:

"I've never said I'm a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I'm not. I've said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me knows these words don't reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong and I apologize.

I have traveled the country talking about change for America, but my travels have also changed me. I've spent time with grieving mothers who've lost their children, laid-off workers whose jobs have gone to other countries, and people from all walks of life who just want a better future. I have gotten to know the great people of our country and I've been humbled by the faith they've placed in me. I pledge to be a better man tomorrow, and will never, ever let you down.

Let's be honest, we're living in the real world. This is nothing more than a distraction from the important issues we're facing today.

We are losing our jobs, we are less safe than we were eight years ago and Washington is totally broken. Hillary Clinton and her kind have run our country into the ground. I've said some foolish things, but there's a big difference between the words and actions of other people. Bill Clinton has actually abused women, and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims. We will discuss this more in the coming days. See you at the debate on Sunday."

This apology, as agreed by many news sources, sounds "forced and insincere."

In a very heated argument on CNN, Ana Navarro, a Republican commentator, and Scottie Nell Hughes, a CNN panelist argued about Trump's comments and his recent apology. Criticizing Republicans, Navarro remarked, "I think that every single Republican is going to have to answer the question, 'What did you do on the day you saw the tape of this man (Trump) boasting about grabbing a woman's pussy?"

After hearing this statement, Scottie Hughes in apparent anger said, "Will you please stop saying that word? My daughter is listening." This is when Navarro made her most powerful statement of the short clip by saying, "Don't tell me you're offended when I say 'pussy,' but you're not offended when Donald Trump says it!"

It's like the blind leading the blind.

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.
