A New Flavor

Have you noticed it, yet?

I don't know...maybe it's just me.

There's something different about the "flavor" of the current House of Representatives Democratic leadership.

Something is happening there...

The speeches have never seemed as passionate, mission oriented, and urgent as they seem to me now. It's like they're going all in to fight for something crucial to this Nation.

Rep. Jamie Raskin:  I honestly love the bite-sized history lessons he drop in his speeches. It's like he's saying, "Let me tell you how we got here or why we do what we do." He doesn't just say stuff, he backs it up with hard, easily accessible facts.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries: The man wades through the fluff, exposing hypocrisy and calling out foolishness.  He then focuses on  what's really important in a way everyone can understand.

Rep. Maxwell Frost: The first Gen-Z member of Congress. He speaks with well thought out and clear common sense, drawing logical lines between points with facts. The first time I heard him speak, my thoughts were if this is our political future, I like it.

And there are more. In the hearings, they are on point, cutting decisively through nonsense and lies. It's like they're saying, "Are we done here? Let's get to work for the people of this Nation."

Maybe it's just me. I didn't pay much attention to politics until the Trump Administration and I saw how it negatively impacted the Church.

Now, I am very much woke to the fact that bad things can happen in powerful places that have far reaching and negative impacts when you don't pay attention.

The Confessions of Mae B. Yew I've Got a Man! June 03, 2010 The last time we spoke I was sportin’ a goose egg on my forehead (compliments of Momma). If you missed my last confession, you can find it at Momma and the Goose Egg . Shortly after I lost my mind and blew up at Momma, I apologized because I was wrong. I don’t know how ya’ll were raised, but I was taught to never ever disrespect my momma. Do you know what she did? Momma kissed my goose egg and said, “Baby, I’m sorry I put this thing on your beautiful face.” She hugged me real tight, and her gardenia perfume drifted over me in a loving, fragrant cloud. That was sweet wasn’t it? Wait. There’s more. Then she said, “But if you ever speak to me like that again, I’ll knock you into tomorrow, then love on ya just like this when you come to.” What can I say? That’s my momma. Enough about Momma and my goose egg. Ya’ll, I’ve got a man! When I became a Christian, I’m not sure what happened. Men of substance stopped coming near me, an...
