Bravo. More people should speak up. These tactics are disgusting. And to think, I used to be convinced the Donald was the best thing for business. Scary.

Step by step I've watched my name "Courtney Jones", which was never my #brand, be dragged through the mud, and replaced by inauthenticity and secrecy over the past 4 years to benefit people in Georgia and Ohio I don't even know.

Now my websites are attacked DAILY by countries like France and Bolivia. Why?

Scientology uses similar tactics, called "black hatting", to destroy reputation and social structure.

Gotta agree with the mayor on this one, straight a*hole move by the Donald.

The mayor of Philadelphia didn’t mince words when asked about Donald Trump’s recent remarks on Muslims.

Charlie Sheen’s ‘Outing’ Shows How Poorly We Treat HIV Positive People

- Unfortunately, this shows how poorly we treat people in general that aren’t already a PART of any cause we support.

What’s the difference between Caitlyn’s coming out and Charlie Sheen’s?

What makes one black life “matter” and some NOT to the black women carrying those signs?

What makes one group of people so in need of homes, education and help that you displace, subdue or neglect other’s to make it happen?

Who decides whether millions of dollars should go to finance violence, war and foreign aid, when there are homeless people on the streets?

It would seem the Bruce/Caitlyn Transformation would've been harder to digest, yet the support was tremendous. Sheen on the other hand, and despite talent, long ago became fodder for talk shows and internet memes.

The outside influence, public opinion and spin along with the support systems around them make a huge difference.

It will be interesting to see the level of support he gets from the public.

There are too many varieties in every choice to limit yourself. Never assume a customer is obligated to use your product or service. It's always good to have OPTIONS...

Ew! How many of these butt lifts are required? Gross. Ladies, love yourself and the body you're in. Learn to love the natural wisdom of YOUR body. If it has to be added, is it necessary, or is it for the approval of others? If it will make you feel better, sexier, more confident, then should it be at a drastic DISCOUNT? Should you spend more on an outfit than you would on a body part? I'll stay "flat in the back" and okay with all of myself, no matter how others feel about it. It allows me (and others) to focus on all the really cool things about me, like my intelligence, my sense of humor, my amazing recall of song lyrics....

Canada’s New Prime Minister Perfectly Sums Up Why We Need More Women In Politics

As a candidate for prime minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau pledged that he would appoint women to serve in half of his cabinet seats. On Wednesday, shortly after he was sworn in as Canada’s second-youngest prime minister ever, the self-described feminist followed through on that gender parity campaign promise. Fifteen of the 30 spots went to women.

British seeks to give police more access to citizens' Internet activity under new snooping law. Glad I live in the US. I Thought our government was invasive! #Trust trickles downhill. How can citizens trust a gov't that doesn't trust it? It's interesting to see countries attempting a US version of #democracy when they're not operating from the same perspectives, context or values. In cultures where women are still fighting for rights, and refugees turned away by the boatfulls , they're not #ready for the our version of reality. That's where you get freaks likethe boko haram running roughshod. #FixThat first. Then worry about spying. #shame

What Kind of World Do You Want To Live In?

This is one of the most honest videos you'll watch all day.

A glimpse into a culture that's mind blowing in its ability to sometimes be completely unaware of other perspectives.

The key is to actually answer the questions. Or have friends who are willing too.

It's a dialogue that people of color shouldn't have the burden of introducing or carrying, because it's not our problem.

As a black kid growing up in the 70s in Colorado, I had plenty of these conversations with my white friends.

"Black people eat Thai food?" "Why do you talk like that?" "Black people tan?!?"

Then later, when I moved to a large , urban city out east, black people asked me some of the same questions.

"Why you talk so proper?"

(Disclaimer: I LOVE tuna casserole and use a sponge, NOT washcloth, in the shower.)

Digging deep and questioning ourselves honestly, more often than not, leads us to see people as PEOPLE with different cultures, perspectives and quirks.

It's all good. If we let it be.

  How often do you search for ads to read when you have a few minutes of downtime?

Yeah, me neither….

Advertisements are usually the last thing on my mind when I am able to take the time to do a little reading.

Im looking to be entertained, to learn about something familiar from a new perspective.

The same is true of your readers.

As you’re planning and writing your content, are you creating…

Bravo to Daniel Craig.

A man who can appreciate that real women do age and that our beauty and talents only get deeper as we do.

Daniel Craig’s got some fighting words for Hollywood ageism and sexism

Ever notice how in movies, leading men are allowed to age gracefully, while their female counterparts stay frozen in their early twenties? Daniel Craig has, and he kind of thinks it’s garbage. Spectre is in sharp contrast to the norm.

Everyone is #selling something, no product is really that one of a kind. Lot of talk about getting "paid to travel" but while traveling are you working to meet with and connect with #women not in the same industry, or do you just hang out with the guys who "pay you to travel"? Know the problem you're actually being #paid to solve. #businesstips #strategy #marketing #businesscoach #mentor #mindsetcoach #bossbabe #womenhelpingwomeninbusiness denverbusinessowner #yougetpaidtotravelreally: http://dlvr.it/CXBXb3

When you're in a new town as a "promotress", do you meet, connect and network with new women, to build real business networks, or just the guys who "pay you to travel"? Everybody is selling something. Very rarely is your product unique. Know the problem you solve for your customer.
