Women talk. I mean, they really talk to each other. A lot. All the time. They talk to each other in the grocery checkout line, in coffee shops, over lunch, at the spa, at the doctor’s office, while waiting for their kids, at the gym, over drinks after work, on coffee breaks, at the Xerox… Continue reading Trump: Woman to Woman Comms is a Flood (May 18, 2016)

Trump: Keep A Knockin’ But You Can’t Come In (May 13, 2016)
Trump has already shown his dedication to excluding undesirables from the Republican Party and the nation’s party as he tries to “Make America Great Again”.

Trump: Facts Are Stubborn Things (FAST) (May 3, 2016)
We all know what a fact is. From the Wikiquote entry on Fact: A fact (derived from the Latin factum) is something that has really occurred or is actually the case.

Trump: Thug in Sheep’s Clothing (April 17, 2016)
Thug: Background for Selecting the Word It has taken some time to resolve the proper definition of the first title word for this blog post.

Trump and the Colorado Delegates: “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda” (April 12, 2016)
Donald Trump, still smarting from his campaign’s recent poor showing in Colorado and elsewhere in securing delegates according to the published RNC rules, has doubled down on his sore-loser rants. He is now vying for Whiner, Whinier, and Whiniest. No Presidential candidate in recent memory has ever displayed such a delicate, thin skin.
