Politics politics, normally I stay away from it, but I am in the UK and every hour every show is on Brexit, to leave or stay in the EU. It is causing such a divide and so much mudslinging, that a party NO one wants in is worming the way in because everyone else is concentrating on hanging Borris Johnson even at the cost of their own country, it is mindblowing.
Every day we see more and more ridiculous news on our global politicians, thigh gate, Borris apparently touch a womans thigh 20 years ago but it has taken 20 years for her to come forward to complain, just at the time the opposition are gunning for Borris to be out because they want to stop Brexit. How low can they keep on going?
Hong Kong and China at odds with each other over human rights, but looking at China’s army will they ever get those rights? Russia is worming their way in America politics and taking over other countries, are we are the brink of another war? and if we are which candidate would be the best to face these troubled times with a clear head?
Then in Canada my home, you have the blackface Trudeau being slandered on every media to shame him out of office, I will not be swayed by mudslingers, the more you mudsling the more I stand my ground and will not be swayed by such behaviour. Look at what each candidate is doing or wants to do to serve your country and ask your self, does it serve the whole or only a few? Then decide if in the long term everyone benefits.
Of cause, you have the USA, for the last 3 years, it has been entirely about Trump, this Tweet, that Tweet, firing people left right and centre and lying over and over again. Now we are looking at Impeachment and an upcoming election next year and with so many democrats, how does one decide?
Outcomes the mudslinging, the putdowns, the destroy attitude at any cost including their integrity, it does not build confidence in the people just hysteria.
Trump as a president has been a joke scary one at that, he has been found to be a criminal and lowlife that has the world all shook up not knowing what he will do next because of his instability. We need someone with integrity, gumption and common sense in the White House to make America great again WHO WILL UNIT NOT ONLY THEIR COUNTRY BUT THE WORLD.
So get out and vote, but first read, listen, ask questions and deduce who will be the better person in power that will truly serve your country.

TUNE IN HERE WITH SARA TO HEAR HER VIEW ON POLITICS TODAY
What is turmeric? Turmeric is the main spice in curry, a well-known Indian dish. The fine yellow powder (turmeric root powder) derives from the ground roots of the Curcuma longa plant. Curcuma longa’s presence in Southeast Asia led to the widespread use of turmeric.
The historical practices of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine have significant validity. These timeless principles used natural herbs and spices as remedies for common ailments. Our ancestors were ahead of the curve when they studied the medicinal uses of turmeric.
Turmeric curcumin benefits the body in a number of ways and appears in several different products. You’ve likely seen turmeric in a variety of items and products including:
Turmeric tea
Turmeric milk
Turmeric lattes
Turmeric smoothies
Soaps and scrubs
Essential oils
CBD oil products
Accent colors and paints
Weight loss and fat burners
Turmeric masks and skincare products
And various other turmeric recipes
Due to the wide variety of uses, the turmeric market has been absolutely booming of late.
Turmeric vs. Curcumin
What is the difference between turmeric and curcumin? It’s important to understand that these are not interchangeable terms. There is a distinct difference in curcumin vs. turmeric supplements.
Turmeric contains several chemical compounds which we refer to as “curcuminoids.” The active curcuminoid in turmeric responsible for its therapeutic properties is curcumin. The standard curcumin content of turmeric is only about 3-6%. When buying a turmeric supplement, make sure it contains 95% curcuminoids and follow the recommended turmeric dosage.
It’s All About the Kids with Hyacinth Jones and her guest Isha KI, on-air from September 23rd
Isha says that painting professionally happened by accident – I needed to do a fundraiser for my son and instead of sheets, popcorn or chocolate, I put some of my ‘fun’ paintings up for sale. I’ve been steadily painting and selling my art ever since.
JOIN HYACINTH AND ISHA HERE FOR AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT ART
My name is Isha Greene, I am 42 years old, mother of three (22, 19 and 15) an Army Spouse and a full-time artist and writer. I’ve always been an artist whether it was in the kitchen baking and creating a beautifully decorated cake or designing dinner for my family.
My chosen medium is acrylic and stretched canvas but I enjoy using mixed media, pouring techniques, following YouTube tutorials and my moods, meditations and nature for inspiration.
I absolutely love what I do, and I think that’s why I have return customers – because they can see or feel that love in my paintings. Your book URLs link and a jpeg picture of the cover if you have one.
