Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,
The last time I had lunch with Princess' beloved Auntie Maureen, she told me, You know ICE was in Murray Hill –– my neighborhood.
No, I didn't. Maureen said agents had been all over a nearby Haitian church.
It's damned low to target people at their place of worship.
Or at schools or the grocery stores where they need to shop.
Pulling 700 agents out of Minnesota doesn't mean much when 2,000 remain.
I don't watch the stupor bowl. It's never made sense to me that it takes half an hour or more to play two minutes of a football game. But I watched the halftime show on YouTube Monday morning.
I'm not into Bad Bunny's music simply because I don't keep up with current music, not because something is wrong with it. I speak some Spanish, but even if I didn't, I would have known Bad Bunny's show was about inclusivity and love.
He made the point, gently, that America is more than the United States. The people who beat their chests and scream AMERICA FOR AMERICANS enjoy their blissful ignorance of all that America encompasses. If America is for Americans, then that includes Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Mexicans, Brazilians, Canadians . . . the list goes on and on.
The Monday morning show quarterbacks who said Bad Bunny was disgusting and stupid and they didn't understand a word he said forgot how to use the mystical, magical button on the remote control that turns off the TV
But Bad Bunny's was the most watched Super Bowl halftime show ever.
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug
I don't speak Spanish at all, but I loved Bad Bunny's halftime show! And of course Lady Gaga, my girl!
ReplyDelete"Cleanup in Aisle 47," LOL
I was thrilled to see Lady Gaga because she's my girl, too.
DeleteWhile of course I agree with the use of "American" to describe anyone on either continent of the Americas, I do wonder what a better term is for just people from the USA. Is there one? Statesian?
ReplyDeleteI don't know of any. I don't have a problem with US citizens calling themselves Americans but the people who don't think anyone else can be an American need to face facts, especially those who think Puerto Ricans are not US citizens. I don't know if the felon has ever figured out that Puerto Rico is part of the United States.
DeleteGood on Bad Bunny.
ReplyDeleteI thought so.
DeleteThis latest Randy Rainbow brings me near tears. P.S.: Kid Rock sucks.
ReplyDeleteKid Rock is gun-loving trailer trash who has made wildly inappropriate comments about young girls.
DeleteDebra took the words right outta my mouth.
ReplyDeleteand "Aisle 47"? I.Died.

I would think there's a code word the White House staff uses when Von Shitzhispants soils himself. We have to figure out what the code word is..
DeleteI don't speak Spanish either. English and French are the languages I speak and understand.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing, Janie.
Thank you for visiting here and commenting, Linda. I'm always happy to see you.
