The World According to Leslie

Today is January 20, 1017. Around 12pm EST, in Washington, D.C., the United States will have a new President. We will have a new President. I will have a new President. Whether you (or I) voted for him or not, he will be our President. As you know, I keep my political thoughts to myself (most of the time). He will be President for at least 4 years, maybe 8. We have to support him and believe that he's going to do what's best for our Country! Today, I'm watching ABC News. It's what I watch every morning while I'm getting ready. It's what I've watched for years. You can hear as you listen to the reporters that some of them are excited about the events of today. You can also hear the disapproval of the new President in the voices of others. I know that news reporters are supposed to be neutral no matter what, but it's interesting to listen to. I'm sure that it's happening on CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN, and all the other stations too. I have watched ...

For months now, we have all been waiting to see how the election would turn out. Now, the wait is over. What do we do now? Most of us will go on living our normal lives. Yes, there will be some changes. Yes, there will be new laws. Yes, there will be things we agree with and disagree with. I'm not telling for whom I voted. Those close to me, who know my views and beliefs, know that answer. Do I think that there would be problems or issues no matter how the election turned out? YES!!! No one is perfect. If you are a Donald Trump fan, he's not perfect. There's no way he can do EVERYTHING he promised.  Even though he has a Republican House AND Senate, he will not get them to do everything he wants done. On the other hand, if the shoe were on the other foot and Hillary Clinton had won, she wouldn't be able to do everything either. Even if Congress had been turned blue with her, they wouldn't agree on everything. With that many people having to vote and agr...

Last night, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton had their final debate before the election in a couple of weeks. I did NOT watch it. I did NOT watch the first two either. I haven't watched any of the debates for any office this year. Typically, I watch at least one, but this year, I haven't. I did, however, watch stuff on my DVR because my shows that are on, typically, on Wednesday nights were not on. :(  There were no new episodes of my Wednesday night shows--because of the debate. I was not impressed with that--but, I know that there are a lot of people (millions, in fact) who watched, Tweeted, Instagrammed, and Facebooked the ENTIRE thing!!  I still have thoughts about all the different people running for different offices.  I'm trying really hard to convince myself to write my thoughts out about that. For today, I have to reconcile myself to the fact that I have nothing to watch on my DVR from last night because The Donald vs. Hillary was on for the final time....
