Everybody Is On Someones Hit List__ Ah! Sh…..

by Linda Ballard

T. BOBBIE, I told you not to be surprised when you look at the screen and see your name floating around. You are one of the finest educators I have ever known. To this DATE, TIME, and NOW you are a MAJOR PLAYER IN MY LIFE. What! Don’t tell nobody. Hey! You know how I love messing with you. It gives me the feeling when everyone is announcing their accolades and the UNIVERSITIES are probably sitting there thinking, “D…! I hope they don’t tell people they graduate from this school with their IGNORANT A…” BOBBY JINDAL is a road scholar. I wonder what side of the road his brain is sitting on. T. BOBBIE your next saying about me is, “GIRL YOU ARE TOO SILLY.” I am not waiting for something to happen to you to tell you how I feel about you. This is what the majority of people do. They wait too late. I LOVE YOU. You have made some major sacrifices to give to others. It TIME for me to give back to you.

Hell! You are not the NATIONAL HANDOUT SYSTEM. NEWT GINGRICH would say, “YOU ARE THE FOOD STAMP PRESIDENT”. MITT ROMNEY would say, “I would never convince them (the 47%) to vote for me).” Do they expect us to be the GIVERS? Everyone is looking for a handout, free stuff, and trying to buy something like your votes. The GOP has been identified as the TAKERS. Put the locks on the door and don’t let them in. Give yourself credit if you don’t it will be a sin. Take your hard-earned money and buy you something new. I hope you realize you are long overdue. We all know who the RUMP SHAKERS are. They will LIE to you, CRY to you, and BREAK you by far. It’s all good T. BOBBIE. Enjoy your dinner today with the family and make their A… pay for it.

It would be so nice if the POOR had more money knocking at their DOOR. It would be great if the MIDDLE CLASS is not made out to be the CLASS OF THE PAST. To top that off, if the WEALTHIEST could stop being so selfish, take a TAX CUT with their greedy BUTTS, and close down the LOOPHOLES. Show WE THE PEOPLE and OUR NATION you do have a SOUL. So T. BOBBIE it is TIME to rock this. Everybody Is On Someones Hit List__Ah Sh…

Who is ROCKIN’ THE LIST? Everyone wants to trounce people with mental illness. I am not letting it go down like that T. BOBBIE. In this blog, you can “CLICK ON” and find out about your MENTAL MADNESS. Yeah, baby! KNICK-KNACK, PATTY-WACK GIVE A DOG A BONE! COMING FROM THE FLIP SIDE OF THE CHART these NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS/CONDITIONS are NOT ALONE. Think about it. The only difference is all other behaviors are INTENTIONAL. EVERY behavior is viewed as INTENTIONAL until it has been ruled out as UNINTENTIONAL. So stop stereotyping, demeaning, blaming, and locking folks up for neurological disorders/conditions which affects the body’s NERVOUS SYSTEM. We are talking about the structure, biochemical, or electrical occurrences in the brain or the spinal cord. The nerves can be affected which leads back and forth to the brain and spinal cord. Once the nervous system has been COMPROMISED (the WORD JOHN BOEHNER CAN’T SAY OR DO) the result causes pain, confusion, muscle weakness, poor coordination, seizures, paralysis, loss of sensation, and changes your level of consciousness.

Please remember the BRAIN IS NOT A FUSE. You can replace a FUSE. Think of the BRAIN as the coordination of your senses, your smarty pants (intellect), and your nerves. This NEURON NETWORK BOARD can become overloaded if it is OPERATED UniMODAL. One side of the BRAIN is doing all the work and you do not have a lot of choices to put your BRAIN in another MODE. The BRAIN can become overloaded or get a short in the wiring system. We use the CIRCUIT BREAKER (your ELECTRICAL SWITCH), or the STOP/GO BUTTON to RESET YOUR BRAIN MANUALLY or put you on AUTOMATIC to keep from causing damage to your network so we can have the person up and running again. Your information has taken a different route. Has anyone had their BRAIN remove lately? Don’t answer that. It reminds me of the SEQUESTER SYNDROME. What was that? What a WORD!

I will keep this simple. You have to understand what happens when CHARLIE BROWN goes to kick the ball and he gets the same results. Whose behavior is INTENTIONAL? Whose behavior is UNINTENTIONAL? Have you ever thought that CHARLIE BROWN may not be able to kick the ball due to poor psycho-motor coordination? Simple athletics skills are not happening with people who have poor coordination. This would point to one of the characteristics of a NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER. Suppose LUCY has learned CHARLIE BROWN’S weakness and has decided to push his buttons. Does this sound like anyone in CONGRESS or the REPUBLICANS?

We just can’t go around bunching everything together. Got to be more careful! What is first? Certain mental conditions are not usually classified as neurological conditions and vice-versa. You have a spectrum of sciences which deals with neural and mental. These sciences address the thought, emotion, behavior, and how one’s personal/consciousness has been influenced. QUE SERA, SERA (WHATEVER WILL BE, WILL BE)! If your A… got a problem these are the questions you should be asking. DON’T BE AFRAID TO SEEK HELP. DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK. YOU are NOT THE FIRST. YOU DEFINITELY WON’T BE THE LAST TO SEEK HELP.

1.) What is wrong with me?
2.) Where can I go to seek out help and get a diagnosis?
3.) How much testing is involved?
4.) What is this that I have? (after you get your results)
5.) What is my prognosis(rainy/sunny day forecast, prediction, get out the crystal ball,
or other prophecies)?
6.) What are the signs and symptoms of what you diagnosed me with?
7.) Is there a cure?
8.) Is there any treatment if there is no cure?
9.) How much research has been done?
10.) What is the success rate if any of me living a productive life?
11.) How will this affect my life over a period of TIME?
12.) Are there any other mental or physical illness that exist with what I have been
diagnosed with? (In my space at the same TIME and place/coexist)
13.) What are the risk factors for what I have?
14.) Will my treatment involve medication, therapy, surgery, neurorehabilitation,
habilitation (starting from scratch, step by step procedure, no assumption made
that I know but a straight-up teaching process with just the facts jack)? Gray me
up at a later date.
15.) What can I expect from treatment?
16.) How can I help myself if I get into a CRISIS?
17.) Is there a CRISIS INTERVENTION HOT-LINE?
18.) Where can I go and get a second opinion?
19.) Will my child/adult ever grow out of his/her diagnosis?
20.) Is this a disability that will improve or worsen over a period of TIME?
21.) Am I going to live or DIE?
22.) How much TIME? Hey! I am just asking because most people don’t want to know.
23.) What is all this going to cost?
24.) Who will help me pay for all of this?

BOTTOM-LINE: It can cost you your life if you don’t seek help. Early intervention would be great but if this is not the case, PLEASE CONTINUE ON YOUR JOURNEY to seek help.

T. BOBBIE there are many people who do not ask these questions especially coming from the FLIP SIDE OF THE CHART. People with neurological syndromes find it hard to initiate conversation and don’t know where to begin asking the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE and WHY questions. This is where the naive and trusting part takes over and the person with mental illness or has a neurological problem becomes the VICTIM and is easily VICTIMIZED. Their civil rights, human rights, and any other rights that are due are always violated. DR William BEGG (Bill), DR RICHARD FRIEDMAN, and many doctors across the nation understand why only 4% of people suffering from mental illness are not violent and so do I. PRISON IS NOT A TREATMENT CENTER, PEOPLE! EASE UP OFF THE BLAME DUDE. There are a lot of people who have a very short FUSE when it comes to the topic of MENTAL ILLNESS. OKAY, IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO CLICK ON and LEARN MORE.

Visit the following websites to help re-route your misinformation.

These are just a few sites to get the ball rolling and the next TIME T. BOBBIE I will share a list of the many books I have read over the years in this area of NEUROLOGICAL and MENTAL DISORDERS. It is strange how.GOV is hanging off these websites and the people in the GOVERNMENT aren’t clicking on. You know they are ROCKIN’ THE LIST. Every TIME we end our conversation I want to echo back what you always say to me. LOVE YA! LOVE YA! LOVE YA!

We Are The State Of The Union__Gun Violence

by Linda Ballard

There is a state of emergency. Look around this room at the many lives left in shambles. In DEATH we have formed a coalition. Our love ones state of mind will not bear the cross of shame nor sin but can rise in grace and Lift Every Voice and SING.
The purpose of our DEATH is not to DESPAIR but to plant the seed for the new grade A__ACCOUNTABILITY. Our bodies now lie in a permanent state of rest. Our souls and spirit have formed a more perfect union in order to establish justice, challenge, and champion gun violence, an ensure peace and tranquility to WE THE PEOPLE and OUR NATION. We Are The State Of the Union.

Many tears have fallen to earth as our bodies were transformed and the mist of our last breath was taken. We have become your windshield wipers of VISIBILITY. In DEATH we have banded together to become ONE. We are not gone, we will not be forgotten, we are strong, and our voices will be heard. We are not INVISIBLE. We Are The State Of The Union.

The state of our nation can use its pervasive powers to change gun violence. FAILURE and FEAR have been challenged by a new FACE. DEATH placed emphasis on the grade of F and now F is the FORCE to be reckoned with. The broken hearts of the lives who advocate for us has organized to diminish the gun violence to give an extension of life to our FUTURE generation. Our Carnage left many minds in a state of confusion and chaos. From state to state the emptiness of our massive loss has dealt a mighty blow to the ones we left behind. It will be forever etched in the minds and hearts of WE THE PEOPLE and OUR NATION. No actions were taken when the body count added up. It took the DEATH of small innocent children to ROCK THE CRADLE and leave an impression that guns were more important. It raised the question in many minds across the nation: Are the lives of the children and the teachers not the number one priority? In DEATH our spirits have MOVE FORWARD. We Are The State Of The Union.

Our voices will resonate a cry for CHANGE. The shriveled minds of NEGATIVITY shall follow the leaders of PROGRESSIVENESS and blossom. All in TIME the pollination of HOPE will endure the seeds of growth. We are the AMENDMENT to the PREAMBLE of a CONSTITUTION MOVING FORWARD FOR LIFE. Our souls have UNIONIZED IN DEATH. WE THE PEOPLE must UNIONIZE IN LIFE. We Are The State Of The Union.

Dedicated to the Victims of GUN VIOLENCE and any Violence which cost a HUMAN LIFE. Press On! To the Parents of Sandy Hook, Tuscon Arizona, Chicago, Sanford Florida, Kansas City, Newtown Connecticut, Littleton Colorado, Aurora, Atlanta, and every city and state which has been struck by gun violence.

Press On! President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and Mayor Bloomberg

I don’t drink Coffee but I did bring my hot Chocolate. I forgot you are lactose intolerance. I’ll be right back. It will only take a minute to fix you a smoothie. I promise I will not add any yogurt. Fruit on the rocks with papaya mango juice and your favorite Cinnamon-raisin bagel to boot. I haven’t forgotten your favorites. It is TIME for our Conversation and I know you have been very worried. My Cranial is protecting my brain from being bomb-rushed. My heart has been exposed to the intense pain of the Crime, the Count, the Coroner arriving at the scene of our Children’s deaths. The Candle wax is running down my hand. I am so numb from all of the Candlelight Visuals I have attended. To make sure there is nothing wrong with this hand I switched over to my left side. It didn’t matter what hand I used. I couldn’t feel the warmth or recognized whether or not the Candle had burned me.

What! Don’t let my sense of normal leak out. I am now digging into my inner heart in search of Compassion. Remember when my legs were hanging over the gurney and the doctor kept asking me could I feel any pain when he was jabbing my feet with his famous foot hammer. I was so glad to feel pain because if I didn’t there may have been a Chance that the next person or doctor I could be staring at was vascular. Something terrible happens when the veins Close down. No matter what image you try to Cast those doctors know if you are hiding something.
That blockage Causes Circulatory problems, major shutdowns, and then flatline. This mimics the behavior of our Constituents across the isles. It was absolutely horrible when the Constituents placed a war on women’s heads. It got even worse when Cantor singles out a Community of women whom he didn’t feel worthy of protection.

Out of the womb of a mother, a Child is born only to be placed on this earth for a very short period of TIME. Bull manure! As a mother, I thought I would go before my Children. They would have their whole life ahead of them. The math was for me to live out their age and for them to reach my destination and go where no man has gone before. Our Children has paid the Consequences of the wars that Carl Rove thinks he can mend. It doesn’t matter what Class you attend the opportunity was given and they failed in the end. It will take many years for the Conservatives to ascend because of their lies and Cheating has Cost them their win. It will be hard as hell for the Changing demographics to recover from the intended sins of a Complacent Congress. This is the Conservative Comfort zone. They cannot move forward and this is where the Conservatives belong.

When we touched basis you were surprised I hadn’t written a Super Bowl story. The days were passing by and I had not written a story since the 21st of January. I’m Cool. I haven’t Tweeted lately but you know I will. There is no brain freeze here. I was Concentrating on the gun violence that has played a major role and has taken a dramatic toll on the lives of many young souls. The loss of so many young lives places a suit of armor around the heart of each parent. As TIME weighs in the healing process will begin. This is what I want parents to understand. Allow yourself to reach out for your Coat. Years will pass and the pain will diminish and you now can reach out for your jacket. More years will go by and you will reach for your windbreaker as you settle up with the pain. You will be able to laugh, smile, joke about the ones who have gone before you. One day you will have more control over the tears that will flow. It will not be today.

I thought it was hard raising Children. It has been more devastating watching parents burying their Children. You have been there for your brother and showed strength and Courage, Compassion, and the greatest Comprehension that a grand guardian could ever demonstrate. I remember once you told me that you didn’t want any Children because it was hard being responsible for yourself. It made me so proud to hear you take responsibility for your life and the life that you could not afford. Toure and MHP came forth and they each addressed a very personal part of their life. I was so proud as a mother and a granny to hear them take responsibility. Never let the moment go by to acknowledge people when they have set the tone to be honored and place before the throne. Before I could put a period at the end of that sentence, Toure being Toure made me laugh and think about this. What! Somebody mother or granny place me on the toilet. No Toure! I heard you loud and clear. Smooth operator pressing the gray suit with style and grace.

Kynny, I am concerned the battles you had fought over your brother whenever someone would try to tease him of his awkwardness would wear and tear on your spirit. I thought you would get tired but you never swayed once. You delivered a very powerful message. You turn to me that day and you said to me, “Mom let not your heart be troubled I got this”. Which would be harder? Is it watching your brother struggle with developing friends and relationship? Is it watching your brother not getting the opportunity to grow up? Is it the CHALLENGE of the COMMUNITY, where I have struggled and watched the CORONER, pick up the body of one of my friends. Days down the road our Community is holding a CANDLELIGHT VISUAL and a CROSS is placed where my friend took his last breath. The next day we are headed for the CHURCH to say our final CONDOLENCES, and from there to the CEMETERY to say goodbye to my COMRADE. We must CONTINUE TO COMMUNICATE and stay on top of the gun laws.

What Did They Contribute?__Mental Illness

Hold up! Hold Up! I’m not off the grid. I am here. I am laying back in the cut chilling. It is my “cooling down process.” You will see these words again. Ah Hell Naw! Don’t be throwing MENTAL ILLNESS around like it’s a wet rag. Dude, back the Hell Up! You do not mess with my EMOTIONS nor will you play with my PASSION. You are about to see THIRTY SHADES OF BLACK. Step off and just sit BACK.

Watch out! Before you know it, parents will be fighting the battle of integration/inclusion into the classroom once again. We are going down the alley of SEPARATE SELF-CONTAINED SCHOOLS. Any child who is labeled emotionally disturbed, mentally challenged, and has a behavior disorder will be “UNABLE TO BE DISABLE IN A ZERO TOLERANCE ZONE.” The gap is closing fast and more students will be pushed into the court system based on how they are documented by the schools and their districts. Where does the BURDEN OF RESPONSIBILITY LIE to prove whether or not your child shall remain in his placement? You got it, the SCHOOLS DISTRICTS and their SCHOOLS. Who is documenting your child? I hope the parents have documentation to refute the schools/districts negative hit list. The school districts are laying the groundwork for a paper trail yeah long and Lehigh University Deep. 🙂 You can’t hide your IVIES from me. This is very important. Gun violence is closing the gap. It is a shame that whatever the schools and their districts document can reach out from the grave. The greatest injustice and disrespect is TRAYVON MARTIN’S family has to defend his rights. Before we get anything twisted I am not saying TRAYVON MARTIN had any problems with his mental processing. I take it as if he was the victim. His school records were dirty laundry to seal his coffin. What did the schools and their districts contribute?

Yeah, Baby! The schools/districts just got another powerful weapon to EXCLUDE your child with a disability out of their schools. WOW! Lock and load TIME. A child will get suspended and excessive expulsions at the drop of a dime. LOOPHOLE! The SUPREME COURT RULING 484U.S.305-HONIG V DOE laws and regulations did not define the disciplinary action of a child with a disability. If you see the words Violent, Disruptive Conduct, and Dangerous Student anywhere on paper get ready to fight. The schools decide who will be delivered to the special “DAY SCHOOLS.” Are we back to SEGREGATION in our schools again? UNILATERAL DECISIONS will be made by your districts at night behind closed doors like the 47% video. This violates the SUPREME COURT RULING 484U.S.305-HONIG V DOE It reminds me of Michigan having those emergency manager meetings to sort of kick a child to the curb. Rick Snyder, governor of Michigan, is probably doing the training session with the Superintendent of your local school districts.

Parents just won’t get a say and all the child’s right will be stripped. Parents get it together. Your child is your responsibility. Don’t go calling the police on your child, talking about he is out of control, and you can’t do anything with him/her. How old is your child? What! He is 17. What do you think the police is going to do in 17 minutes of his police report that you should have done 17 years of his/her life? Come on Parents! We must change and change the stigmas that have been placed upon our children’s heads. Keep your MONKEY A.. out of the casinos and bars. Go home and spend some quality TIME with your children. Don’t wait until your child graduates and find out they can’t read. This doesn’t look very promising for a bright future in college or anywhere else. What did you contribute?__MENTAL ILLNESS

Your child is put up under the microscope from day one to see if he/she can be mainstreamed with the so-called normal behaviors. Whatever the hell that means. The highest level of government officials did not display appropriate behaviors. Their BEHAVIORS were INTENTIONAL along with CONGRESS, WALL STREET, AIG, CORPORATE AMERICA, the OIL, AND GAS INDUSTRY.They were rough riding tough along the side of a bunch of RUTHLESS PEOPLE. Still is. Some schools/districts go through the motion and pretend; a.) We did everything we could to help your child. b) we included you in the decision-making process although we already made up our minds at the late night candlelight dinner. c.) Every TIME your child acted out we drew up several IEPs to set him/her up for failure. d.) We went back to the drawing board to figure out a way to screw your child out of his education. The idea, NOT the IDEA which includes disabling children, was to document your child as a dangerous and violent student so we can push him out of our school. e.) We don’t care where he lands as long as he is out of our hair. Parents who are staunch advocates for their children know it is all about EXCLUSION and the BUDGET CUTS BABY. Holla! For the Dollar!

You are now looking at Light V. Parkway who claims the school and their district did everything they could for your child. Yes, they went out their way and bent over backward to include your disabled child. Even though the schools and their districts did not understand your child disability, were not trained, had no intention to get trained, documented your child to the tenth degree indicating he is a danger to himself and he will cause danger to others. We have done our good deed and we are not punishing your child. We just want him the hell out of our schools and to put his education into limbo. Well, doesn’t that sounds like CONGRESS and the beef they have with the President? No Good Deed Goes Unpunished. BS! What! BACHELOR of SCIENCE? NO! MALARKY!

One of the top priority of some educational institutions is getting rid of the wounded and the refusal to accommodate children who are mentally, socially, and emotionally challenged. Why? We wanted a bigger swimming team or a better football team. Having a football team did not ensure the safety of children. Are you sure you want to put a gun in a teacher’s hand when children are now being molested by their teachers? EX-CUUUSE ME! Don’t ask. Don’t tell. What did they contribute?__MENTAL ILLNESS

Yes, there are laws or SAFEGUARD PROCEDURALS put in place to SAFEGUARD your child. There are loopholes in the laws. PARENTS should always be included in the decision-making process so their child cannot be WAREHOUSED into a SEPARATE SELF-CONTAINED SCHOOL or CLASSROOM. Who wants to STAY-PUT in a placement that is no longer SAFE for anyone as long as they have these crazy gun laws? Whose shoulders do the burden of responsibility rest upon? I know it’s VIDEO GAMES. Yeah right! Will the responsibility rest at the feet of the MENTALLY CHALLENGED?

How do we go about getting rid of your child that is MENTALLY CHALLENGE and keep them out of the mainstream? I know! School Districts will go through the back door of education. Let’s make a List.

1.) They can Create An Atmosphere of Fear around the individual, (Wayne La Pierre Syndrome).

2.)Go to due process but we can’t let the kid hang out in our schools for 45 days or more until the hearing gets started. Hey, what is the rush? Why would you have a due process hearing under Chapter 536? Wouldn’t you end up in court? Get out of here! Really! Don’t the due process hearing takes care of that? Isn’t that what the STAY-PUT PROVISION under IDEA does?

3.) Look dumb A.. we are not trying to get the kid to stay in his/her placement just in case something unforeseen comes up. We will be ready to roll the TROs (TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDERS). These restraining orders will buy TIME to keep this child out of his PLACEMENT. You get 15 days on a TRO. Our plan is to keep renewing the TROs just in case the DUE PROCESS HEARING goes pass the number of days of the hearing. The power will be placed in the Districts hands. They will become Untouchable and Invincible.

4.) Can you do that to a child? What is the Purpose of the restraining order? The purpose of the restraining order is to ALLEVIATE the RETURN of the child to school as a RESULT of the STAY-PUT PROVISION. WOW! We never did that before.

5.) Okay, we will document him/her to be the next CHARLES MANSION. CHARLIE is still on lockdown. That is dangerous as dangerous can get. The idea of documenting your child like a criminal. Whew! From School To Prison Pipeline.

6.) That will help us get around that stupid rule, “10 Day Suspension Does Not Constitute A Change In Placement”. We don’t care if it was a manifestation of the child’s disability. You see we have ways of getting around his/her behaviors. Later in life, we can come back and Permanently ruin the life of the individual with a permanent restraint to lock the person down forever.

7.) Let’s make a MOUNTAIN out of A MOLEHILL for the child’s Attorney. The Attorney will be too busy fighting the child isn’t violent, dangerous, and disruptive. In the mean TIME, the FOCUS will be lost on restoring the child’s placement. Bottom line: Do not let SEGREGATION happen again in the schools because of the gun violence. Children who are mentally challenged will be ship off. They will not stand a chance in the mainstream.

I have been advocating and teaching my son how to advocate for himself for years. I had to back it up and put on the brakes. I realize parents are advocating for the LOSS OF their CHILDREN not the LIFE OF their CHILDREN. What happen PEOPLE? It is not supposed to go down like this. Why can’t gun laws be given immediate disciplinary actions if behaviors can be given immediate disciplinary actions? The laws will kick children out of their school placements, put them in the court system, be placed in the INSTITUTION of PRISON. This is not the way to help children who are disabled. Instead of getting help through their schools, children are railroaded out of their FREE AND APPROPRIATE EDUCATION (FAPE). Are your guns more important than a CHILD’S LIFE? So are we back to the BEHEMOTH of a gun industry called the NRA who are out of step with their own members? What did they contribute?__MENTAL ILLNESS

Oh! Don’t tell me you don’t want to talk about it. It is debatable. Excuse me! It is not MOOT. Why? Why should I answer you when you want to cut me off at the knees? What do you mean it ain’t important or relevant enough and we just can’t make no decision? I’m cool. You are the one that can’t make up your mind. It is happening all over again. How many TIMES does an incident have to occur before we can make a final decision and take action? Get the Hell out of here. It is called PROBABILITY and REASONABLE EXPECTATION. How many schools have fallen victim to gun violence? SHUT UP! Whose head will be severed? Who will be made the SCAPEGOAT? Are we back to the HIGHLANDER? There can only be one Get my DRIFT. I got your DRIFT 🙂

Dedicated to President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Arne Duncan, Katrina Vanden Heuvel, Joan Walsh, Dan Malloy, Dr. James Peterson, Michael Eric Dyson, and Chris Matthews.

My contribution__MENTAL ILLNESS is to keep from placing all the blame on MENTAL ILLNESS, educate people to seek help, and minimize stereotyping/destigmatization.

The idea, NOT the IDEA which includes disabling children, was to document your child as a dangerous and violent student so we can push him out of our school. e.) We don’t care where he lands as long as he is out of our hair. Parents who are staunch advocates for their children know it is all about EXCLUSION and the BUDGET CUTS BABY. Holla! For the Dollar!

You are now looking at Light V. Parkway who claims the school and their district did everything they could for your child. Yes, they went out their way and bent over backward to include your disabled child. Even though the schools and their districts did not understand your child disability, were not trained, had no intention to get trained, documented your child to the tenth degree indicating he is a danger to himself and he will cause danger to others. We have done our good deed and we are not punishing your child. We just want him the hell out of our schools and to put his education into limbo. Well, doesn’t that sounds like CONGRESS and the beef they have with the President? No Good Deed Goes Unpunished. BS! What! BACHELOR of SCIENCE? NO! MALARKY!

One of the top priority of some educational institutions is getting rid of the wounded and the refusal to accommodate children who are mentally, socially, and emotionally challenged. Why? We wanted a bigger swimming team or a better football team. Having a football team did not ensure the safety of children. Are you sure you want to put a gun in a teacher’s hand when children are now being molested by their teachers? EX-CUUUSE ME! Don’t ask. Don’t tell. What did they contribute?__MENTAL ILLNESS

Yes, there are laws or SAFEGUARD PROCEDURALS put in place to SAFEGUARD your child. There are loopholes in the laws. PARENTS should always be included in the decision-making process so their child cannot be WAREHOUSED into a SEPARATE SELF-CONTAINED SCHOOL or CLASSROOM. Who wants to STAY-PUT in a placement that is no longer SAFE for anyone as long as they have these crazy gun laws? Whose shoulders do the burden of responsibility rest upon? I know it’s VIDEO GAMES. Yeah right! Will the responsibility rest at the feet of the MENTALLY CHALLENGED?

How do we go about getting rid of your child that is MENTALLY CHALLENGE and keep them out of the mainstream? I know! School Districts will go through the back door of education. Let’s make a List.

1.) They can Create An Atmosphere of Fear around the individual, (Wayne La Pierre Syndrome).

2.)Go to due process but we can’t let the kid hang out in our schools for 45 days or more until the hearing gets started. Hey, what is the rush? Why would you have a due process hearing under Chapter 536? Wouldn’t you end up in court? Get out of here! Really! Don’t the due process hearing takes care of that? Isn’t that what the STAY-PUT PROVISION under IDEA does?

3.) Look dumb A.. we are not trying to get the kid to stay in his/her placement just in case something unforeseen comes up. We will be ready to roll the TROs (TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDERS). These restraining orders will buy TIME to keep this child out of his PLACEMENT. You get 15 days on a TRO. Our plan is to keep renewing the TROs just in case the DUE PROCESS HEARING goes pass the number of days of the hearing. The power will be placed in the Districts hands. They will become Untouchable and Invincible.

4.) Can you do that to a child? What is the Purpose of the restraining order? The purpose of the restraining order is to ALLEVIATE the RETURN of the child to school as a RESULT of the STAY-PUT PROVISION. WOW! We never did that before.

5.) Okay, we will document him/her to be the next CHARLES MANSION. CHARLIE is still on lockdown. That is dangerous as dangerous can get. The idea of documenting your child like a criminal. Whew! From School To Prison Pipeline.

6.) That will help us get around that stupid rule, “10 Day Suspension Does Not Constitute A Change In Placement”. We don’t care if it was a manifestation of the child’s disability. You see we have ways of getting around his/her behaviors. Later in life, we can come back and Permanently ruin the life of the individual with a permanent restraint to lock the person down forever.

7.) Let’s make a MOUNTAIN out of A MOLEHILL for the child’s Attorney. The Attorney will be too busy fighting the child isn’t violent, dangerous, and disruptive. In the mean TIME, the FOCUS will be lost on restoring the child’s placement. Bottom line: Do not let SEGREGATION happen again in the schools because of the gun violence. Children who are mentally challenged will be ship off. They will not stand a chance in the mainstream.

I have been advocating and teaching my son how to advocate for himself for years. I had to back it up and put on the brakes. I realize parents are advocating for the LOSS OF their CHILDREN not the LIFE OF their CHILDREN. What happen PEOPLE? It is not supposed to go down like this. Why can’t gun laws be given immediate disciplinary actions if behaviors can be given immediate disciplinary actions? The laws will kick children out of their school placements, put them in the court system, be placed in the INSTITUTION of PRISON. This is not the way to help children who are disabled. Instead of getting help through their schools, children are railroaded out of their FREE AND APPROPRIATE EDUCATION (FAPE). Are your guns more important than a CHILD’S LIFE? So are we back to the BEHEMOTH of a gun industry called the NRA who are out of step with their own members? What did they contribute?__MENTAL ILLNESS

Oh! Don’t tell me you don’t want to talk about it. It is debatable. Excuse me! It is not MOOT. Why? Why should I answer you when you want to cut me off at the knees? What do you mean it ain’t important or relevant enough and we just can’t make no decision? I’m cool. You are the one that can’t make up your mind. It is happening all over again. How many TIMES does an incident have to occur before we can make a final decision and take action? Get the Hell out of here. It is called PROBABILITY and REASONABLE EXPECTATION. How many schools have fallen victim to gun violence? SHUT UP! Whose head will be severed? Who will be made the SCAPEGOAT? Are we back to the HIGHLANDER? There can only be one Get my DRIFT. I got your DRIFT 🙂

My contribution__MENTAL ILLNESS is to keep from placing all the blame on MENTAL ILLNESS, educate people to seek help, and minimize stereotyping/destigmatization.

Body Count Adds Up

by Linda Ballard

I put my hand in front of my face to see if I was still breathing. The broadcast was coming in on the children in Newton Connecticut. This TIME another hurricane had struck. The second SANDY name was attached to a school called Sandy Hook Elementary. Major trauma and devastation visited a school where the lives of 20 children and six adults were taken. Once again a powerful message has been sent to the community at DEATH’S DOORWAY. I bowed my head in prayer. It was not in the moment of a silent prayer but more like a continuum of prayers. It was the NLD MOTHER’S PRAYER of hoping the country would realize our children are not growing up. Why on earth would we raise the age of social security when our children can’t make it out of elementary school?

I stepped back to revisit the story written October 8,2011 called Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep__An NLD Mother’s Prayer. As I began to read the prayer I realized no more modification can be made to this prayer. “I can’t tolerate this anymore.” I want our children to grow up and live out their lives. The plane had crashed and once again our nation has hit rock bottom.

The lives that were taken were one of a very short sprint. Will our children get the opportunity to grow up and run the marathon? As I sat in front of the computer I remember an NRA meeting was held back in April of 2012 in St. Louis, Missouri. RACHEL MADDOW was running down the list of unrelated deaths on Kill Me Corner in St. Louis. To me, it still has the effect of the incident that has happened in Newton Connecticut. The BODY COUNT ADDS UP. I know I put the information somewhere. I went back to the story Case Of The Fake People__RomneyVille in the April 2012 archive. It was discovered who was the Playground Hustlers__Who Are The Bullies. Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, and the lives of the many senseless deaths have rocked this nation. Their deaths will reach into the hallways of the NRA, ALEC, Republican Legislature, and the 25 states the Republican Legislature control. How much blood do they want on their hands?

A chill ran up my spine and it felt as though the hair on my arm began to rise. As I began to revisit the stories I reflected back on Hold The Fort Down. This was the story of all stories. It was published March 26,2012. I realize why I was so troubled. No one is exempt from death. No life that is taken should be made out to be more important as the next life that has existed. No community should be placed as more prominent than an area that is more depleted and poor when death strikes. No race should be stigmatized or stereotyped and viewed as worthless because of race. No amount of money should place precedence over a life that has no money. It is a life. Every life on this earth has a purpose, will serve its purpose, and a lesson will be taught to show the purpose. All eyes are back on WHO! Say it with me now. The NRA along with their crazy gun laws has gone silently like a thief into the middle of the night.

My rock bottom came when a young man told me he Got No Time To Be Disabled. This was back in March of 2011. If you are Black you are under Attack. This is the way the American Psychiatric Association (APA) view certain races due to lack of ignorance or understanding. In the Black community, you can be killed and it will be swept under the rug. Life expectancy was age 25. He was paid in full and his mother would have an insurance policy to continue on with her life. He never wanted kids because he feared that one day his children would be condemned to the same type of life and never escape the vicious hell hole.

DEREALIZATION! Well, Dr. Weiner, the BODY COUNTS ADDS UP a lot quicker in certain communities. The senseless murders engulf the lives of the Black Community on a regular basis and there is no room to pretty it up. To hell with paraphrasing because there is no pretty word to describe the loss of our children. Black and White with no fluff can only be allowed in the conversation to our children/adults. Our children try to avoid bullies and have taken other routes to school only to find a dead body in a drainage ditch. Our children are not coloring with the light bright crayons. You can see from the pictures they paint it is neither creative or inspiring. It is hard to separate derealization (unrealistic outlook of one’s surroundings) from depersonalization (the unrealistic outlook of one’s sense of identity). Too much of one of these concepts will make the other concept manifest or rare its ugly head. If the major issue is not addressed or if the original diagnosis goes untreated you are left with anxiety, stress, panic, anger, and frustration. You have now caused a secondary problem or secondary diagnosis. You are now glaring into the eyes of Alienation or Isolation. The conversation must be initiated and the talks on seeking professional help must begin.

Dr. Weiner, it is TIME to get real. How is it possible to go home and talk to our children about the safety of their lives? Parents across the nation have been struck with the bullets that have caused derealization and depersonalization in their own lives. A magazine of bullets have been emptied on our nation from Voter Suppression, Women Equal Rights, Denial of U.N. Treaty on Disability, Stripping of Union Rights, Denial Of the Protection of the American Indian Women Act Against Violence, Denial of Comprehensive Immigration Reform and much more. The GOP has failed to adapt to change and has reloaded their military weapons to drop the people and the nation of the Fiscal Slope/Curve. You want to talk about MENTAL IllNESS. BRING IT! What did the GOP show our Nation? The hatred, racism, and disrespect for the President of the United States were delivered by a Mentally Challenge Congress. What does it boil down to? Who is in DENIAL? What Party cannot move FORWARD or accept DIVERSITY? What Party has Alienated or Isolated themselves from the PEOPLE and OUR NATION? Who has laid the groundwork for Depression and Suicide for a Nation who is struggling to move FORWARD? Why? All FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY. Dr. Weiner the BODY COUNT ADDS UP. We can no longer be in a dream state. We must face the realities of the tragedies. It will take TIME.

Advisory Alert: To all Parents across the Nation/World do not be ashamed or in denial if you sense a problem has affected your child/adult. Mental Illness should no longer be hidden or swept under the rug. Seek out professional help. Get an independent evaluation from a qualified and reputable psychiatrist, psychologist, neuro-psychologist, or a University Of Physicians that specializes in the field of Psychiatry. You want to make sure the evaluation you seek out is independent of the school district. You want to have a stronger platform to fight for Compensations, Accommodations, Modifications, and A Strategic Plan (CAMS). Your child’s IEP (Independent Educational Plan) is the blueprint that lays the groundwork for the success of your child. As parents, we must do our fair share. As parents, we must not be afraid nor intimidated by information. As parents, we must take a Pro-Active stand and educate ourselves so we can give our children a fair shot at life.

Painted Me As The Enemy

by Linda Ballard

Why would I stick my neck out?
Should I bother to come to your aid?
Has there ever been any doubt?
We both receive minimum wage.

Unless you lied and have deceived me.
We are down to the LILY LEDBETTER FAIR PAY ACT.
The Company thought it would be easy.
They allow “no friends” contract.

Why am I receiving the cold shoulder?
Is there something you wish to tell?
Your LIES turned into huge boulders.
Will this send us straight to hell?

Do you understand why they chose you?
Our lives share a bonded pack.
I hope you realize whatever you do.
We are expendable and we’ll both get jacked.

Who really does have a spine?
Here lies the sword of the COMPANY’S mighty wedge?
What did the policies and procedures define?
I’ll be d..n! It’s GROVER NORQUIST pledge.

Did you read all of the reason?
JOHN BOEHNER would think he has the upper hand.
This list is an act of treason.
It was designed so we couldn’t take a stand.

A lot of hard work hours was put in.
Companies use all sorts of dirty tricks.
Turning you against me was a nasty sin.
They found your weakness so they thought they were slick.

The roads we have travel were long, hard, and rough.
We bumped heads, compromised, and discard what we didn’t need.
Anything that appears easy might get sort of tough.
A natural ingredient to help us both succeed.

The memories we have shared, Companies will try to strip away.
For years we have guarded one another against danger.
It is TIME to face off and get through this day.
Look very close. Do you think I am a stranger?

When we started work here years ago.
Our families broke bread together.
The money we made was not enough dough.
We made it and survive the stormy weather.

The Company promised you one hell of a deal.
An offer you just couldn’t resist.
After listening, you didn’t like their diabolical spill.
The plan ceased to exist.

Would you like to tell me more?
You thought there was a remedy.
The policy is called OPEN DOOR.
They PAINTED ME AS THE ENEMY.

ADVISORY ALERT:
Who is carrying 30 silver pieces around?
If you hear a jingle jangle stay away from this clown.
I don’t think you know what is about to go down.
Look over your shoulders, JUDAS is the one with the frown.
Make sure the FISCAL CURVE agreement is safe and sound. 🙂

MR. PRESIDENT, it would have been unfair for me to take a look at the most prominent behaviors of our government and not place the highest ranking government officials underneath the microscope to reveal their INTENTIONAL BEHAVIORS. These high-ranking officials INTENTIONAL BEHAVIORS was compared and contrasted to the UNINTENTIONAL BEHAVIORS of a NEUROLOGICAL SYNDROME called NONVERBAL LEARNING DISABILITY (NLD SYNDROME). Enough of the BS and off with the heads of those who did not have a d…n thing wrong with their minds and caused major havoc to the PEOPLE and the ECONOMY. It is FISCAL MENTAL MADNESS caused by the so-call NORMAL IVY LEAGUE minds with DEGREES in GREEDINESS who has run our country into the ground. These government officials INTENTIONAL BEHAVIORS greatest desire is to INTENTIONALLY drive our ECONOMY over the SLOPE. I tried MR. PRESIDENT very hard to stay on track with the PUR-TY words. I can’t believe these crazy A.. people were running the nation and had the audacity to label and stereotype others.

It is TIME to take a WALK ON THE WILD SIDE. A visit from the FLIP SIDE OF THE CHART in RETAIL is long overdue. What is the MENTAL MADNESS and INTENTIONAL BEHAVIORS of the largest RETAIL COMPANY in the United States? It is Walmart’s TIME to show their BUTT-NAKEDNESS and never again say they have RESPECT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL. Walmart can say they have RESPECT FOR THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. Walmart’s creed died with SAM WALTON. Today we will visit with GROVER NORQUIST SYNDROME (DENIABILITY), MITT ROMNEY SYNDROME (LIABILITY and LIAR ABILITY), SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN SYNDROME (DEMENTIA-ABILITY) and MITCH MCCONNELL SYNDROME (FALLIBILITY of FALLIBILISM).

MITCH MCCONNELL is the perfect example of how all the above SYNDROMES can bring about the INTENTIONAL BEHAVIORS of GOVERNMENT and RETAILERS. MITCH suffers from the highest level of ONE-TERMS DENIABILITY. MITCH MCCONNELL has to face the PRESIDENT and realize what the PEOPLE wanted not what MITCH MCCONNELL wanted. This could very well be the deciding factor in what the EMPLOYEES want from Walmart. COSTCO has taken the lead. COSTCO retailers are leading by example. Walmart’s mentality is taking your A… to COSTCO. ALLEN WEST SYNDROME was, “take your message of equality and get the hell out of the UNITED STATES.” ALLEN WEST said you can take your message of equality to EUROPE, ANTARTICA or the bottom of the sea. I wonder why ALLEN WEST lost? Walmart is like the REPUBLICANS, GOP, and TEA PARTY. Walmart doesn’t wish to change. Walmart doesn’t believe in PROGRESSIVENESS. This was the mentality that cost MITT ROMNEY the PRESIDENCY.

MR. PRESIDENT if you have a moment I like to review the following dates to show you I have met the three levels of RETALIATION by Walmart. Walmart views it as ACCOUNTABILITY but it is definitely RETALIATION. Walmart adjusts their Policies and Procedures to protect them and hang their associates. The first date 5/30/2012 was for DELAY until MANAGEMENT could think of something else to get me on. The next date was 7/13/2012 was for FEAR to shake me down and have me running scared. On 7/26/2012 the pieces of the puzzle begin to validate my concern for the great set up. To seal the coffin shut on 8/30/2012 all-out war had taken place. Check out this date, 9/13/2012, this was straight up PUNISHMENT. The date, 7/13/2012 shows the ASSISTANT MANAGER was looking for something to nail me on 2 months later on the same date and TIME. Give me a break! On this date, 9/16/2012, another act of RETALIATION took place. To break me down further my son was RETALIATED against on the above date. This is how Walmart respects the individual. It doesn’t add up and it does not match the 12 years of my job performance. You cannot make these things up. What happens when you do not show FEAR and you STAND UP for your rights? The Above, a SET UP for FAILURE and not for SUCCESS!

Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow of DEATH I will FEAR NO EVIL for thou are with me. The FEAR of OPPRESSION rested upon my head. The FEAR that I have FEARED for others to take a STAND and SPEAK UP for themselves burden my heart. It was the echo of your voice, MR. PRESIDENT that has given me so much HOPE and I have continued to pray for CHANGE. I understand TIME is such a priceless commodity and one needs more TIME to see the effects of the CHANGES. It is the TRUTH that can bring one down to their knees. It will be the same TRUTH that will bring Walmart down because they do not wish to hear or learn the TRUTH. They have not adapted to change nor do they feel the need to change because of ENTITLEMENT. ENTITLEMENT bears more CONSEQUENCES than one can ever imagine. The DRAMA and SCANDALS of Walmart will cut their jugular veins and bleed out their reputation.

Here comes the deniability factor or we can call it the GROVER NORQUIST SYNDROME. What is Walmart most recent drama? The most recent scandal was 117 workers killed with the death toll rising in BANGLADESH FIRE. Walmart was caught lying about the connection to the workers of Bangladesh making clothing for their stores. Another incident which had taken place before the fire incident in BANGLADESH happen in DEKALB COUNTY in LITHONIA GEORGIA. A security guard put a shoplifter in a chokehold and apparently the shoplifter died. The shoplifter tried to steal 2 Blu-Ray DVD players. Shoppers have become weary of all the drama from Walmart and are quite unhappy there are NO RESPONDERS to protect them from danger. The umbilical cord from the shoppers is becoming unraveled. Shoppers have begun to disconnect from Walmart finding other shopping experiences.

Walmart is creative and innovative for themselves and their pockets. Walmart refusal to understand diversity and communicating what is needed to uplift their associates out of the poverty level has set them back and has locked this BEHEMOTH in a TIME WARP. Walmart could be the SNUFFALUFFAGUS for leading wages. Instead, they have chosen the path of the GOP who are scrambling to see where they go after a failed election. The CURSE of the REPUBLICANS is living in an unrealistic world where you can behave any way you want to, call all the shots, ignore the world has changed demographically, and buy your own PRESIDENT. The beginning of the end of Walmart will be the failure to accept CHANGE, INCLUSION, and the TRUTH. One day Walmart will realize it was the PEOPLE, not the MONEY that put them ALL OVER THE MAP. This is a lesson they should learn from MITT ROMNEY, SUPER PAC, and the GOP.

MR. PRESIDENT your voice rang out and spoke these words, “I’m doing fine but we must all pay our fair share.” From David Glass to LEE SCOTT and now MIKE DUKE the players have changed but the game remains the same at Walmart. Always low self-esteem, Always so much pain redeemed, Always some cock-a-mania scheme, Always to keep the employees from fulfilling their dream. Always, Always @ Walmart. In the election so many numbers surfaced but the math didn’t add up. The number $12.25 per hour giving a FULL-TIME ASSOCIATE a decent salary at $25,000 to lift the associates above the poverty level is doing the math. It would be a win-win situation for the company. Profits from the company should satisfy shareholders. The workers would gain dignity, feel important, and would be proud to be a part of Walmart. There are deep scars and oozing wounds. It will take many years for the healing process to take effect. The Republicans speak for the rich and the rich only (not all Republicans). The Democrats cry is for the middle class (not all Democrats). Thank you, Democrats/Republicans/Independents who have found common ground and are willing to address the needs of the poor. We cannot forget the poor. It will be this common ground which will move our nation away from AUSTERITY, hold the PEOPLE and the NATION at the top of the MOUNTAIN, and not over the CLIFF.

On BLACK FRIDAY I heard a new number come to the forefront. There were so much anger and frustration. An associate was being pushed and shoved by the crowd. In the mist of the associates, anger the associate made it clear he only made $9.72 to work on this d..n shift. They were not about to get hurt for it. I don’t know where KORY LUNDBERG got his number of Walmart associate are basically at $12.00 per hour. I tell you what it took them about 10 years to get there. When they got there it was TIME to weed out the associates who had overstayed their stay, go for part-time and reduce wages. If this young man transferred back to the day shift his $2.00 would be taken away leaving him with only $7.72 an hour. The math doesn’t add up KORY LUNDBERG. Who knows? Walmart may not be giving a $2.00 overnight differential to their new associates. It wouldn’t surprise me. The starting pay rate for years was $7.30 per hour.

PETER GOODMAN, HEATHER MCGHEE, CARMAN WONG ULRICH, AND DAN SCHLADERMAN it pains me to buy anything from Walmart. Associates purchases are put through scrutiny. I have been questioned many TIMES on sales items and please don’t buy an item you price match from another store. I am so tired of feeling like a criminal. You are weeded out by swiping your discount badge on your purchase to see if you have done something illegal. I remember one morning an associate was stopped in front of me about her purchase. She went off. She said if they had paid the associates more they wouldn’t have to worry about anyone stealing. She reached down into her purse and pulled out an EBT card. She told the door greeter from now on this would be her new identification card. We no longer have door greeters. The FIRST RESPONDERS kept us safe. They are no longer there. Many customers stop shopping at the store. Walmart does not wish to take responsibility or pay FIRST RESPONDERS for what they can blame me for. They can twist their POLICY and PROCEDURE to say I have access to people who will HELP ME exactly like MITCH MCCONNELL, JOHN BOEHNER, ERIC CANTER, MITT ROMNEY, PAUL RYAN, and the GOP. YEAH RIGHT!

Instead of bringing the CANNOLI I hope Walmart is able to digest the CHICKEN SPIEDINI. Walmart needs to stop being in DENIAL about the TRUTH of how they treat their employees and savor the flavor of the ROASTED ROSEMARY POTATOES. Maybe this will help Walmart realize people do have choices on their LIFE’S MENU. There is diversity up in Walmart’s house. Walmart needs to adapt to changes and respect the demographics have evolved from WHITE to BROWN and flowing into deeper SHADES of COLOR. The deeper shades are out of the shadows and kicking A.. LAURA FLANDERS, DAN DICKER, JOY ANNE REID, and ARI MELBER, Walmart doesn’t care about loyalty. They only care about what associate they can use to turn each person against one another to prevent a UNION from ever coming to pass. Walmart doesn’t want the employees to develop friends and relationship. ISOLATION is their KEY FOR FEAR but it is also the death of the associate’s job. DAVID TOVAR of Walmart, you may not be worried about the strikes but the associates get sick and tired of GETTING JACKED. Management by retaliation or intimidation is not managing. If you cannot manage yourself you should never be placed in a position to manage others. I am AB-SO-LUTE-LY certain if you came after the PRESIDENTS and disrespected his family, his cabinet, and inflicted pain on the PEOPLE or the NATION you will hear him say, “PLEASE PROCEED, GET THE TRANSCRIPT, and CAN YOU SAY THAT A LITTLE LOUDER CANDY.” My translation would be “I am NOT PLAYING WITH your A.., IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED, and I am THE PRESIDENT.” OKAY! “CANDY GIVE Walmart a SHOUT OUT so they won’t say no more DUMB SH…. like MITT. 🙂 Did JOE BIDEN stop in at Walmart? I think he had his wife’s COSTCO CARD.

I like to take this opportunity to thank MSNBC for the continuing coverage of the workers of Walmart and the strikes across the nation. I appreciate the information from RETAILERS HIDDEN POTENTIAL. This information is located at http://www.demos.org. MR. PRESIDENT, I did go to HR for help but HR works for Walmart. I was RETALIATED AGAINST but Walmart said they held me ACCOUNTABLE. The numbers don’t add up but the TRUTH will prevail. Walmart has their camera on me. I certainly don’t mind shining the light on Walmart. I will have my opportunity to demonstrate how the dates above shows how Walmart has no respect for the individual. Mike Duke, I hope you are paying attention. Walmart can be in denial for taking responsibility for the BANGLADESH FIRE and the many tragic incidents that involve this BEHEMOTH of RETAIL STORES. It is simple and called a contract. Why should Walmart take responsibility when they can distance themselves via contract and shift the blame elsewhere? Walmart practice would be the same when it comes to an associate. Shift the blame, lie, and reach into their policy and procedural manual and let the associate know it is the Walmart way. The blame will be shifted to cover Walmart A… to hell with LOYALTY. Walmart mentality is they can find new employees “A DIME A DOZEN.”

The spirits at this store are battered, torn, and BROKEN. If you are BROWN you’re disrespected and just another TOKEN. This store is understaffed, the workers are too beaten down to be OUTSPOKEN. The good managers are freaking fracking frazzled and fried. Tis the season to be jolly. I’m sorry Walmart associates are barely alive. This is the Walmart way. FEAR PREVAILS! No employee should be paid the lowest amount of wages, cannot speak out for themselves, or not have representation to speak for them. I always wonder why the associates could be coached on productivity when the company failed to properly train, expected associates to be TIMED TASK on TASKS that are already thrown OFF TASK, and there isn’t enough TIME in the day for the associates to do the TASK. The BIG KICKER is Walmart takes NO RESPONSIBILITY in working the associates like HEBREW SLAVES. Help will not be given to the associates that are designated 16 hours in an 8-hour shift depending on the shift manager. The associates are set up for FAILURE NOT FOR SUCCESS and the cycle of coaching for productivity continues until the associate is coached out the door.

BOTTOM LINE: From the youngest to the oldest, non-disabled to the disabled, everyone should have the right to speak on their behalf. NO employee should be intimidated, retaliated or punished in the workforce for standing up for their own rights or the rights of others. If associates are not sure what their rights are they should be educated, advised on their rights, not be isolated, or kept from other associates who can help A SISTER or BROTHER OUT. MR. PRESIDENT, I hope Walmart understands WHY THE REPUBLICANS LOST BIG, GOT JACKED and MONEY cannot buy everything. No matter how BIG the KOCH BROTHERS, KARL ROVE, SHELDON ADELSON and the droves of SUPER PAC MEGA MONEY who showered MITT’S BS. It still boiled down to what the PEOPLE wanted and who would STAND UP for our NATION. FORWARD was selected for the countries new slogan. Walmart can delete ALWAYS and use CHANGE for their new slogan. Yes, you are THE PRESIDENT, you have FOUR MORE YEARS and a LEGACY FOR A LIFETIME. You are the greatest CHANGE our nation has ever had since SLAVERY. Walmart LEGACY will be holding their employee’s hostage with everyday low wages and ALWAYS IN SLAVERY @ WALMART.

ADVISORY ALERT:

MITT ROMNEY forgot to acknowledge the MILITARY in his acceptance speech for the PRESIDENCY at the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION (RNC). The military is the bravest and finest example of fighting for what they believe in and fighting for what is rights. In the event that Walmart decides to concoct some story or fire me for “FREEDOM OF SPEECH” then it goes down like this: MARINES OUT FIRST__OORAH! UNITED STATES ARMY__HOORAH! UNITED STATES NAVY and COAST GUARD__HOOYAH! 🙂 I will go down for TRUTH, JUSTICE, and not the Walmart Way.

Did You Get Jacked?

by Linda Ballard

Shifting my mouth from side to side I could feel the pressure on my bottom lip. The strain on my neck as my head begins to pivot felt as though I had been whiplashed. I had failed to strip away the layers. Everything in the back of my mind was trying to give the person the benefit of doubt. When I looked at his face the title he held was blocking me from saying NO. Yes, once again I got JACKED. Maybe I should have coated my body with polyurethane to protect my soul from the wear and tear.

Here comes my MARTIN LUTHER KING MOMENT. As I began to silently sing “OOPS UPSIDE YOUR HEAD,” I really prayed hard that day. Please don’t let my hands leave from my side. I do not wish to proceed to knock the SH… out of this person. Hey, I’m not a violent woman. I didn’t want to end up on Oprah as an ANGRY A.. BLACK WOMAN. You know people can trigger your behaviors. Don’t give me this crap-o-la about if you let them. The CANDIDATE triggered a lot of behaviors because of his BS LYING.

Here comes the kicker. You mean to tell me this person is actually going to say to my face why I got JACKED. OH LAWD! I wanted to believe he was going to do right. I thought he would pay me back. I thought he would change and become a better person. He leaned back with a twisted smile on his face as though he could read my mind. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, “See what you get for thinking.” I took a real deep breath and press my lips tightly together. My hands did not leave my side. WHEW! MARTIN LUTHER KING would have been proud of me.

Here comes his spill. He stated I had forgotten to peel him like a banana. Remove the hull and see just how rotten a person he had become. He enjoyed what he did and he had NO INTENTIONS of changing. He told me I needed to shut it down and strip away the TITLE to keep from getting JACKED. This is what had weakened me and had kept me from saying NO. He made it clear that he would do it again until my hide got tougher. “Stop wanting me to become what you want me to become because it is not what I want to be.” Something would come to pass which would make me realize what he had become. I needed to embrace who he really was. I would be able to move FORWARD. The tears and stories from others would keep me human. Let not my heart be troubled or harden for I shall never forget what I wanted for him. If my heart becomes harden then I would become him.

Then it came to pass. It happened to a young man very dear to my heart. His life was whisked away from the LIES and the LIFESTYLE of the other. I confronted the other on how he felt about the death of his beloved one’s precious life. There was that twisted smile once again on his face. He looked into my face and said, “I see the layers are peeling off. You have finally learned who I am and how rotten I have become.” He said, “You cannot live the way I live and tell the LIES that I have told and expect any good to come from it.” At that moment my knees buckled up under me. “Do you have any idea how his mother will feel when she learns the TRUTH about the death of her only son.” I hit the floor and screamed as loud as I could. “This was your son and you are my brother.” As I looked at his face, not one tear had fallen on his cheek. He extended his arm out to help me off the floor. “It is called CONSEQUENCES and when you LIE you will lose big.”

Every “sincere tear” in the UNIVERSE is needed to keep a person grounded in emotions so his or her human factor can remain in place. You may think tears reflect the man as being weak but it has to STRENGTHEN the HEART beyond its STRENGTH. It has taken HOPE and CHANGE to a greater LENGTH. As you look across the horizon you realize the silence, the pressure on the lips, and the demeanor broke the stereotype of the ANGRY BLACK MAN. The PRESIDENT never lost the first debate. This was a MARTIN LUTHER KING MOMENT.

I remember my brother telling me to TRUST THE MAN WITH THE SINCERE TEAR. YOU can never TRUST a LIAR. There will be two LEGENDS. One will be remembered for AEONS and the other will be forgotten in an SEC. He made me promise to take whatever I had learned about his life to use as a teaching tool to help keep people from getting JACKED. He was AB-SO-LUTE-LY RIGHT. His life ended tragically years ago from his LIES, his LIFESTYLE, and who he had become.

The PRESIDENT stood before his staff and millions of people across the nation saw the tears roll down his cheek. All the things that I wanted and hope for my brother to one day become ended for this LEGEND in an SEC. He lost and he lost big. The LEGEND who will be remembered for AEONS had everything the CANDIDATE lacked. The CANDIDATE was a LIAR who was a LEGEND that lost big and the SEC. has now come to an end.

Have you ever been JACKED? You might have been JACKED and didn’t know it because you failed to peel the paper or pop the bottle top off the person, place, or thing. It could be me, you, the elderly, or anyone. I have deep concerns for individuals who are diagnosed and labeled as disabled. They are very vulnerable and easily misled by LIES and good old fashion deceit. I realize from the election millions of people falls into this category of being misled. So now we can all be viewed as disabling.

Reflecting back on characteristics of a person who has an extraordinary mind and unique abilities you come across the word NAIVE. Anyone of us may not have the ability to detect when someone tries to lead you astray. We may not be able to detect if a person is lying or sense when we are in danger. For some of us, it might be that we are NOT PAYING ATTENTION. The other half JUST DON’T WANT TO KNOW or don’t care. Some of us have a choice. There are others who cannot peek out from under their scarf because both eyes are fully covered. The scale of JUSTICE will become UNJUST when you are blinded by NAIVENESS. DID YOU GET JACKED INTENTIONALLY or UNINTENTIONALLY? Are you just NAIVE? Will the lady who stands on the scale of JUSTICE give you an opportunity to take that DO-RAG off one side of your face so you can see “WHAT THE HAH HELL” you are doing? It would be nice because then you can see where the hah hell you are going.

The behaviors were out in full force. The CANDIDATE taught the lesson of LIAR IDENTIFIERS. He has the GIFT of never-failing to insert his foot into his mouth and videotaping his A… ACTION! ROLL EM! TAKE 37(this is the math for attempting to repeal OBAMACARE). It would be great for the CANDIDATE to write the book on HOW TO IDENTIFY A LIE TO KEEP FROM GETTING JACKED. Think of all the people he could help. This would be a good way for the CANDIDATE to reach across the nation and familiarize himself with the magnificent shades of BROWN. WHEW! SECRET AGENT RA-RA had an excellent LIAR IDENTIFIER she learned from the CANDIDATE, “NO NOT REALLY.” The CANDIDATE would blatantly LIE and his campaign staffers would clean the LIE up with NO APOLOGIES. The cycle would start all over again. After the mop job on aisle 7, the CANDIDATE LYING would increase. Did you notice the MEDIA stop using the terms GAFFES and FLIP-FLOP? I stop using the term SOCIAL BLUNDERS. Why? The CANDIDATE has been IDENTIFIED as a LIAR.

BILL O’REILLY was quite MENTALLY DISTURBED when he felt the LAST OF THE GREAT WHITE HOPES will NEVER rise again. He wanted his THINGS or GIFTS. The CANDIDATE was to become President and BILL O’s STUFF was the 1% not getting taxed and becoming more richer. The outlook of HOPE and CHANGE for a CANDIDATE who believed this country was his to claim made M a LEGEND in his own MIND. He will never become a LEGEND in REAL TIME. The CANDIDATE who is now a MYTH and his SAGA has ended. The CANDIDATE who tried to persuade millions of people to believe in a man who did not believe in himself. A CANDIDATE who wasn’t convincing. Who GOT JACKED? Was it the REPUBLICANS? Was it the SUPER PACs? Was it the PEOPLE who were desperate to oust the PRESIDENT? Did M JACK HIMSELF? Were any of these people NAIVE? M did have 4 letters in his name now he is down to 1. This BROTHER had a horrible GROUND GAME and he lost the shirt off his back. It is not as if he couldn’t buy another one.

The TAKERS who receive WELFARE, AMNESTY and CONTRACEPTIVE aren’t blessed with GIFTS. Is this the GIFT that 007 leaked out in another conversation and got thrashed by his REPUBLICAN PARTY? M could not leave well enough alone. He should have settle for the 47% video. The party has DISSED the CANDIDATE and no longer wants to be connected to M. Hey, Secret Agent RA-RA wrote DRIFT maybe I should write the book on GIFTS. NO! SANTA CLAUS is not coming to TOWN. It would be about M and how he lost the election for not INCLUDING BROWN. M’s policies sucked too. After hearing those words come out of M’s mouth I had to settle my nerves and play “MY GROWN UP CHRISTMAS LIST” since it was all about the GIFTS. Thank GOD! I have NATALIE COLES version and KELLY CLARKSON version. Thank you, SANTA for fulfilling my early WISH. CANDIDATE M has his CONSTITUENTS PISSED. Exit stage right this BROTHER has been DISMISSED. Our PRESIDENT has received 4 MORE YEARS and this is PURE BLISS.

STEVE KORNACKI you have my sincere condolences on the loss of your GRANDMOTHER. I know you made GRANDMA PROUD. You bring a lot to the TABLE and I enjoy seeing your enthusiasm. Your heart is in your work and it reflexes on your job. GOD BLESS.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and BLACK FRIDAY is just up the street. I read Retail’s Hidden Potential. How Raising Wages Would Benefit Workers, the Industry and the Overall Economy at Demos http://www.demos.org. Thank you so much, CHRIS HAYES and HEATHER McGHEE.

BIG EDDIE! HAM-MITT, I HAVE BEEN JACKED! 🙂

And The Walls Came Tumbling Down

by Linda Ballard

It is TIME. The battle has been bloody and the path chosen held many bumps. The FLOODGATES are now open and so are the lines of COMMUNICATION. It is the 15-minute CALL, the WORDS that are SPOKEN, and the ACTION that has been taken to put the PIECES of the PUZZLE TOGETHER. This is a GREAT KODAK MOMENT. People are beginning to get the WHOLE PICTURE. You are our FIRST RESPONDER and a masterful INTERPRETER. Your BLOOD now flows through the VEINS of people who did not TRUST your judgment and thought you had failed. They have learned to respect the PRESIDENT, not the CANDIDATE. Yes, it is all about PERCEPTION and the lens we look through. The lens of OBJECTIVITY does not give us a distorted view. It was the CALM BEFORE THE STORM and then THE WALLS CAME TUMBLING DOWN.

On May 1, 2012, you received my SUPER TWEET. I knew you would not let us down. I knew you would not let us drown. You swam your way through the sewage, debris, and the broken spirits whose heart was damaged by HURRICANE SANDY. Reaching across the aisle RECOGNITION and VALIDATION was given to the most COMPETENT person who is NO LONGER the CANDIDATE but is NOW THE PRESIDENT. Our NATION got the opportunity to see LEGITIMATE ENDORSEMENTS from COLIN POWELL, MICHAEL BLOOMBERG, SUSAN EISENHOWER, and COLONEL LAWRENCE WILKERSON. COLONEL WILKERSON came forward and acknowledge racism existed in the REPUBLICAN PARTY. CHRIS CHRISTIE dropped the I NUCLEUS FACTOR and reach across the aisle to ask for help. This is HOPE and CHANGE.

We must PAY ATTENTION to the 4D NETWORK. In the darkest hour when DISASTER strike, DISEASE, and DEATH will come calling. In the face of adversity, we must not let the final CHOICE or wrong decision be our DOOM. If one has the ability to make the right CHOICE then we must not set ourselves up for FAILURE. We will become a failed nation. NO ONE CHOOSES TO FAIL! What did we witness? An out of date network that was 3G. The PARTY who chased after the GLAMOUR, the GLITTER, and the GOLD. The V.I.Ps held WE THE PEOPLE and OUR NATION HOSTAGE. THEIR VANITY, IMAGE, and PRIDE put OUR ECONOMY on the path of DESTRUCTION before our PRESIDENT ever set foot in 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVE.

Who is the BIGGEST THREAT to the PEOPLE and the NATION? Who destroyed BIPARTISANSHIP between the RED and the BLUE? What made the color change to PURPLE? Where is that LITTLE NEWT we put in the moat at MADAME FRANKENSTEIN on January 18, 2012? XERXES was once a tremendous threat to GREECE and SPARTA. It took BIPARTISANSHIP to bridge the gap and kick some A.. GREECE and SPARTA had to put their differences aside when XERXES showed up on the scene. Does this remind you of the new BRO-MANCE that has found COMMON GROUND on the 4D NETWORK?

GIDEON had to work with less in order to gain more. GIDEON’S army was reduced to a smaller size but his ACHIEVEMENTS were MONUMENTAL. GIDEON held the fort down for 40 years. The Israelites had so many enemies. Our PRESIDENT has a lot of enemies also. He is only asking for 4 more years and your vote. Not 40 years but 4 MORE YEARS! Anything past this number and your math is in trouble. OKAY! You are staring at a DICTATOR if the number goes past 4 years. GIDEON of today would probably say, “I had a JEEP not a LEXUS at the age of 30.” GIDEON of today would say, “I understand and can relate to POVERTY and DIVERSITY.” GIDEON of today would say, “I know because I LIVED IT.”

The CANDIDATE can’t say that. The CANDIDATE can say, “I do not understand myself nor can I relate to myself or anyone else.” The CANDIDATE can say, “I can’t help YOU PEOPLE.” Taking it to a new level the CANDIDATE can say, “You guys are the 47% go ahead and drown.” What is the CANDIDATE notorious for? “I stand for NOTHING and I am NOT taking a STAND.” Here’s the doozy, the CANDIDATE can say, “I steal people’s ACHIEVEMENTS and I take all the CREDIT.” The TRUTH about the CANDIDATE, “HEY, I’M a LIAR give credit where credit is due.”

Why was ALEXANDER the GREAT truly GREAT? ALEXANDER had sense enough not to kick a dog when the dog was down. ALEXANDER conquered but those he had to conquer was allowed to continue to embrace their cultures and continue on with their lives. Do you think the CANDIDATE would ever allow cultural diffusion? It would be the CANDIDATE’S WORLD. HOPE and CHANGE would die along with one’s style, religion, language, ideas, and technology. The CANDIDATE would REINSTATE SLAVERY.

Did you actually think this was about who would be better for the ECONOMY? Did you ever stop and think about who would be better in a CRISIS? Who would put the PEOPLE and the NATION FIRST? ARE YOU BETTER OFF to TRUST a man who will GIVE RECOGNITION to the UNRECOGNIZABLE and HELP SAVE LIVES. BOTTOM LINE: Who can you really TRUST to fight for the 47% and our nation. Who can we count on to make sure the RICH GIVE THEIR FAIR SHARE? Who will enforce a TAX INCREASE on the RICH? Who can we depend on to fight for WOMEN’S RIGHTS? Do you want this country to move FORWARD? Who has their eyes on VOTERS SUPPRESSION? We know who will fight for the 1%. We know who WILL NOT raise TAXES on the RICH. We know who we cannot TRUST. A LIAR! What happens when the CANDIDATE continues on his journey of miscommunication, misinterpretation, and his unwillingness to take responsibility? It resembles this.

J.D. GILLUM & Associates failed to review the initials drawings with Haven Steels. Due to the lack of communication Haven Steels INTERPRETED the first drawings to be the final drawings of a walkway that collapsed killing 114 people. The HYATT REGENCY WALKWAY was considered the biggest structural catastrophe in comparison to the WORLD TRADE CENTER. ENGINEERS LIED through their teeth. They walked away with a slap on the wrist and their license was revoked. Many lives were turned upside down. I walked away without a scratch never returning to the renamed HYATT REGENCY CROWN CENTER. It has been renamed again as the SHERATON KANSAS CITY HOTEL at CROWN CENTER. Nobody wanted to take responsibility and the LIES continued. Every TIME a new building/homes open I wonder if they are as safe and sound as the contractor, builder, engineer, or real estate person say they are. Were there any kickbacks? Did these people use the substandard material? Did all the building codes pass? Were the blueprints the final ones? Did everyone get together and go through every little detail to make sure the building is really safe and sound. My list of questions can go on and on. The TRUTH begins to surface after so many lives have been destroyed. What happens when you look around through all the rubbish, broken pieces, and the remaining scraps of your life? Who was your FIRST RESPONDER?

A year ago on May 22, 11 days after OSAMA BIN LADEN death an EF5 MULTIPLE VORTEX TORNADO hit JOPLIN MISSOURI. It killed 158 people and injured 1000. It destroyed the hospital, school, nursing home, and many businesses. Once again its path changed and missed hitting the area where I lived. PRESIDENT OBAMA had been in Europe but he came back home to review the damage and let the people know he would be there for them. Who will be there for YOU? Who is your FIRST RESPONDER? The next TIME I may not get the opportunity to walk AWAY. I want to make D.. sure my CHILDREN and my GRANDCHILDREN get a chance to PLAY and SEE another DAY.

IT IS TIME to be the FIRST RESPONDER for OUR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Today and 4 MORE YEARS it is on! This will be the PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD. The BARRICADE will be broken AND THE WALLS CAME TUMBLING DOWN. GET OUT AND VOTE.
