Ocasio-Cortez represents one vision of the Democratic Party’s future. She’s a young Hispanic woman, three cornerstones of the party’s electoral coalition. She’s a democratic socialist at a time when confidence in capitalism is declining, especially among progressive millennials. The issues she ran on—a Green New Deal, Medicare for All, a federal jobs guarantee, abolishing ICE—are animating a new generation of Democrats. She’s a political phenomenon: part activist, part legislator, arguably the best storyteller in the party since Barack Obama and perhaps the only Democrat right now with the star power to challenge President Donald Trump’s.
Tonight in my monologue I will tell you why you should be angry after Mueller probe found no collusion between Trump and the Russians. We’ll expose how exactly the media and the Dems pushed their false narrative, and what should happen next. You won’t want to miss this.

Sean---your monologue tonight should be viewed by all Americans----you just described a wide conspiracy, poorly executed, Coup Attempt on the United States and 2016 Presidential Election (among many things)! Who will this happen to in the future---will they succeed next time?

A charismatic visionary and transformational teacher, Kute Blackson offers a fresh, bold look at spiritual awareness for a whole new generation. Kute’s unique lineage lay the blueprint for his approach to breaking down barriers and setting the gifts and greatness of others free. Born in Ghana, West Africa, Kute’s multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father has spanned four different continents. His unique lineage lay the blueprint for his approach to breaking down barriers and unlocking an individual’s true gifts and greatness.
Kute has had a gift for transforming lives- including his own-since childhood. The son of a revered spiritual leader and healer, Kute was speaking to his father’s congregations in more than 300 churches by the age of eight. At the age of 14, he was ordained into his father’s ministry and groomed to carry on the family’s spiritual legacy. But his heart’s truth told him that his destiny would not be in the church. He would need to take a leap into the unknown and forge a path of his own.
Though Kute was raised all over the world, he had always dreamed of life in America. As if by kismet, he won a green card just after finishing school in London. He came to America alone just months later, with no connections or prospects. When Kute arrived in Los Angeles, all he had to his name were two suitcases and the dream of seeking out the spiritual and self-help icons who had inspired him when he was a boy.
Kute quickly learned that the “outside-in“ approach favored by so many in the personal development space had to become an inside-out approach. So he decided to create his own method—a process that liberates the individual and the true self at the core and then pushes those gifts outward into the universe. This helps the individual get in touch with who they really are. It is a process of breaking free—so that the individual can live, give, and share the truest expression of their self. This is what Blackson calls “Liberated Living.”
Today, the venue for Kute’s message may be a vast stadium, a corporate seminar, the depths of the jungle, the streets of the slums, one-on-one coaching or anything in-between. His electrifying presentations are especially sought after by major companies, such as American Financial Group, REMAX and TCG, that are seeking to redefine their paradigm of success and inspire greatness.
Kute’s trademark transformation experiences set him apart: He is known worldwide for creating the radical "Liberation Experience,” where he travels with an individual client, one-on-one, deep into the bowels of India, for 14 days. He is also the creator of the group process “Boundless Bliss—The Bali Breakthrough Experience.” During these intense journeys into the slums of India and the remote jungles of Bali, Blackson strips his clients emotionally bare and dares them to face their deepest fears so they can emerge reborn.
Kute uses a variety of modalities to help people break out of old patterns, including the high frequency messages in his high traffic YouTube videos that are watched by millions around the world. Kute has a large- and growing- social media platform with 303,000 Facebook followers; 126,000 Twitter followers, 145,000 Instagram followers, and 40,000 readers of his weekly blog.
Kute’s debut book, YOU.ARE.THE.ONE. will be released through Simon and Schuster on June 7, 2016. Colored with experiences from Kute’s own incredible journey, YOU.ARE.THE.ONE. shows readers how to unlock their true potential and live a life they love, through love.
Natsukashii!! Back in the late 90s, I was visiting Tokyo due to business. I was fortunate to meet up with my then future wife. I don't know a single word of Japanese but the people were always kind to my disability to the language. I clearly remember all these JRs commercials on the tube. I wish one day I will be able to come back to enjoy the surroundings and culture of this land. That will be my Christmas gift to myself. Merry Christmas 2018 to ALL in advance. xoxo....
The Holy Teaching of Vimalakirti: A Mahayana Scripture (英語) ペーパーバック – 1987/3/1
This book presents the major teachings of Mahayana Buddhism in a precise, dramatic, and even humorous form. For two millennia this Sutra, called the "jewel of the Mahayana Sutras" has enjoyed immense popularity among Mahayana Buddhists in India, central and southeast Asia, Japan, and especially China, where its incidents were the basis for a style in art and literature prevalent during several centuries. Robert Thurman's translation makes available in relatively nontechnical English the Tibetan version of this key Buddhist scripture, previously known to the English-speaking world only through translations from Chinese texts. The Tibetan version is generally conceded to be more faithful to the original Sanskrit than are the Chinese texts. The Tibetan version also is clearer, richer, and more precise in its philosophical and psychological expression. The twelve books of the Sutra are accompanied by an introduction and an epilogue by Dr. Thurman and by three glossaries: Sanskrit terms, numerical categories, and technical terms.

Robert A. F Thurman, who was ordained a Buddhist monk in 1964 by Tenzin Gyatso, the current Dalai Lama, is the current director of Tibet House in New York City. He is the father of five children including the actress Uma Thurman. One of the world's most respected scholars and translators of Tibetan and Sanskrit, Thurman has translated The Tibetan Book of the Dead (1994) and is the author or translator of many books includingThe Central Philosophy of Tibet: A Study and Translation of Jey Tsong Khapa's Essence of True Eloquence (1984),Speech of Gold: Reason and Enlightenment in Tibetan Buddhism (1989), Inside Tibetan Buddhism (1995), and Infinite Life: Seven Virtues for Living Well(2004). This book was published in cooperation with The Institute for Advanced Studies of World Religions.
The New York Times calls him "America's number one Buddhist." He is the co-founder of Tibet House New York, was the first American Tibetan Buddhist monk, and has shared a thirty-five-year friendship with the Dalai Lama. Now, Robert Thurman presents his first completely original book, an introduction to Buddhism and "an inspiring guide to incorporating Buddhist wisdom into daily life" (USA Today). Written with insight, enthusiasm, and impeccable scholarship, Inner Revolution is not only a national bestseller and practical primer on one of the world's most fascinating traditions, but it is also a wide-ranging look at the course of our civilization--and how we can alter it for the better. "Part spiritual memoir, part philosophical treatise and part religious history, Thurman's book is a passionate declaration of the possibilities of renewing the world" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
