Colin Powell: Trump is an international disgrace

                                          
The former U.S Secretary of State Colin Powell has labeled Republican presidential,  nominee, Donald Trump as “national disgrace and an international pariah.”
Colin Powel in his leaked e-mails also described Trump as racist. CNN reports.
The former secretary of state tore into Trump as an embarrassing figure to represent the United States.
“Trump is a national disgrace and an international pariah,” Powell wrote in June.
“He appeals to the worst angels of the GOP nature and poor white folks,” Powell wrote in another email.
 As Trump’s lead in the Republican primary solidified, Powell complained.This was what he said:

“That’s what the 99% believe. When Trump couldn’t keep that up he said he also wanted to see if the certificate noted that he was a Muslim,” Powell wrote in an August email.
The messages, the existences of which were first reported by BuzzFeed and The Intercept, were posted to DCleaks, an organization affiliated with other recent hacks of high-profile figures.
The emails are notable for their candor about Trump. Powell, who oversaw the State Department during the beginning of George W. Bush’s administration, hasn’t endorsed Trump and has largely sidestepped questions about his thoughts on the controversial GOP nominee.
Powell also lampooned Trump’s proposal that he could win over the African-American population.

Buhari has lost his memory- Fani-Kayode

                                
Former Minister of Aviation of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Femi Fani- Kayode has again come down hard on President Muhammadu Buhari over his comments that he inherited nothing from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administrations of former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, late Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua and Goodluck Jonathan.The former minister said Buhari has either lost his memory or was not well-informed when he told Nigerians that he inherited nothing from the PDP administrations,it was reported.
Buhari made the comment recently after attending Eid prayers in Daura, Katsina State on the heels of the economic recession in the country, it was reported.
 He also alleged that governments of the former ruling party achieved nothing in terms of infrastructural development in all its years in power.
But Fani-kayode in response to Buhari's comments said the President had in the last one year and three months, brought nothing but chaos, destruction, division, fear, deaths and shame to Nigeria compared to the PDP governments he was ridiculing.

"If you compare Nigeria in 2015 by the time Jonathan left to 1999 before Obasanjo came in, you will have to thank the PDP for lifting this nation up and taking us from strength to strength."
Fani-kayode noted that a large number of people that supported Buhari in his quest to become the President in 2015 were all originally from the PDP.
He listed the former PDP members who help Buhari to power to include former President Olusegun Obasanjo; former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; Senate President Bukola Saraki; Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; former Speakers Aminu Tambuwal, Aminu Masari; Umar Ghali Naaba; former minister of the Federal Capital Territory and governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El- Rufai;
 The former minister said whenever the President insults the PDP, he is insulting those 70 per cent that put him in power.

Cher

 Rosie O’Donnell

Uber’s driverless cars begins test program

                                 
Uber riders can get a glimpse of the future by summoning a car capable of handling most of the tasks of driving on its own.
On Wednesday, a fleet of self-driving Ford Fusions will pick up Uber riders who opted to participate in a test program. While the vehicles are loaded with features that allow them to navigate on their own, an Uber engineer will sit in the driver’s seat and seize control if things go awry.
Uber’s test program is the latest move in an increasingly heated race between tech companies in Silicon Valley and traditional automakers to perfect fully driverless cars for regular people. Competitors such as Volvo and Google have invested hundreds of millions of dollars and logged millions of miles test driving autonomous vehicles, but Uber is the first company in the U.S. to make self-driving cars available to the general public.

10 Simple Steps To Become A Better Wife

                                             
There is a quote – “If you want something to change, YOU have to do something different.” Notice the word – YOU. It isn’t if you want something to change, SOMEONE ELSE has to do something different or your HUSBAND has to do something different. If YOU want change – YOU be the change.
Many times we want our spouse to change, to make our marriage better. But – It isn’t always up to the men to change. Sometimes the change needs to come from us – the women!

 Here are 10 Simple Steps To Become A Better Wife – to help your marriage grow stronger and for you to see that change you are needing.

1. SET YOUR PRIORITIES: And set them correctly. Above all, your husband should be your number one priority. Our lives are super busy as women, but make sure you set some time every single day to spend with your man.
2. BE INTERESTED IN HIS INTERESTS: Make a list of things that you know he LOVES to do and jump in it with him. If he likes to play basketball – go shoot some hoops with him. If he likes to work out – go to the gym or go on a run with him. He will LOVE that you love what he loves. 10 Simple Steps To Become A Better Wife
3. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF: In order to take care of another person {your husband}, you MUST take care of yourself. Set goals for yourself. Take a shower or warm bath. Eat healthy and exercise. Do something that makes you laugh every single day. When we take care of ourselves, we are happier, which in return reflects on how we treat our men.

4. SHOW APPRECIATION: You will be surprised how much of a change can come, by just saying “thank you.” Show him that you appreciate what he does on a daily basis. Show him that you are grateful that he works hard to provide for your family. Let him know that you are proud of him for everything he does. 10 Simple Steps To Become A Better Wife
5. PLAN A ROMANTIC SURPRISE: Get a babysitter and surprise him! Make sure the romance doesn’t die in your relationship. Everyone loves to feel loved. Show him that by taking him on a romantic evening, just the two of you.
 6. LET HIM HAVE “GUY TIME” : Sometimes guys just need to be GUYS! They need to play those video games and get their workout on. They need to hang with the buddies and go play sports. If we are too controlling and don’t let them have their “them” time – they will be unhappy. Use that time for yourself too! While he does his guy thing, you go do a girl thing! That is a great time to do something you love too – it is a win win!
7. TELL HIM HIS STRENGTHS: Every guys wants to be complimented. Tell him what he is good at and how great he looks. Boost his little ego some more – that’s what a wife is for!
8. BE HIS TROPHY WIFE: Look good for him! This is another thing we tend to get “comfortable” with – our appearance. I am not saying you have to look flawless and fancy when he walks in the door every day. By all means – sometimes I look a LITTLE homeless by the time he comes home. ? But dress up when you go out. Touch up your make-up and look presentable for him every now and then, when he walks in the door. Make him feel PROUD that YOU are his wife and that he gets to come home to you every day.
9. PRAY FOR HIM: A couple that prays together, stays together. Take a few moments every day and pray for him. You can pray for him quietly in your heart or out loud as a couple so he can hear you. He will love to hear your concern for him and that you truly want to be the best wife for him.
 10. BE HAPPY: When he walks in the door tonight, have a smile on your face. Instead of having a laundry list of things for him to do – be happy and positive. Nobody wants to come home to someone who is miserable – be enthusiastic and make him smile EVERY day.

Often times as we focus on our marriages and do these simple steps for our husbands, they will catch on and reciprocate. If you let him have “guy time” maybe he will let you have more “girl time.” If you point out his strengths, he will probably start pointing out yours too. If you are happy, he will most likely be happy as well!
Let us, as women, take a stand in our marriage and BE the change! As you work on these simple steps to become a better wife – I know your love will increase for that man by your side and the love will be reciprocated.
What do you like to do for your husband? I would love to hear from you!

A WOMAN OF A CLEAN LIPS

                                           
For he who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil and his lip from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it” 1st Peter 3:10-11
 The words that proceed out of a woman’s mouth must be such that is seasoned with grace at all time. It must not be such that it will hurt or bring people down. It is not about washing your mouth that makes it clean but following biblical principles.
It takes more than washing our mouths with soap to be a woman of clean lips. It takes the power of the Holy Spirit, the touch of God and a personal decision. Our part is to cooperate with Him, submit our words to Him,  fill our lives with Him and live our lives through Him.
You have the ability to give someone hope by offering a simple word of acknowledgement. Deborah’s words of encouragement spurred Barack to become all God had called him to be. Instead of pulling or tearing down with your tongue, you can build up with positive words as Deborah did.
Gossip as we all know does not bring any good but causes a great damage within a short time. People with great minds discuss ideas, people with mediocre minds discuss events, while those with small minds discuss other people. Which category are you?
Only when we submit our tongues to God will we have the ability to use our words for good. We must allow the holy spirit to work in us so we can produce the fruit he wants.
