Op-ed (in tweet form)

Op-ed (in tweet form): Happy #4thOfJuly to states that practice liberty. #USA ranks 15th in freedom, and will keep falling if the fruitcakes (AL, AR, ID, KY, LA, MS, MO, ND, OK, SD, TN, TX, UT, WY) with trigger laws use tax dollars (even though they worship small government) to promote their inner Taliban.

#dallasagainstwhitesupremacy

I'm duty bound as an immigrant (living in the world's greatest liberal melting pot) to call-out all white sheet fanatics and their supporters, who sit by silently playing race games behind closed doors.

If you disagree with the following footage and commentary, then Russia is willing to offer you asylum. Racist illiberal types consider this your safe place, where you can openly preach hate-mongering without progressives getting in your way.

Earth to white supremacists, we're all Africans!

Ever since June 16, 2015 when the would-be Führer uttered 'Mexican rapists', I told anyone who was willing to listen that this poor excuse for a human would be a racist conspiracy theorists dream come true as President. I warned you, and now you have got what you deserve - I'm talking to you redneck America! I get that your Supreme leaders love of Russia has confirmed what you wanted all along: a Russian style oligarch running the country who hates gays, Jews, blacks and everything in between. (Even Armenians with dark features have been beaten to death in Russia by Neo-Nazi groups). The President is David Duke's brother from another mother, in fact, as of today the KKK will bestow upon the Führer a new title: Grand Wizard Donnie.

I'm not a fan of watching the news (they keep telling us that we'll be slaughtered at any given moment), but here in the U.S. they're obsessed with having a TV in every venue, so unfortunately I've been exposed to the world ending. One thing I've picked up is that people can be cruel, no matter the pigmentation of their skin. Where I live, people get caught up in this sensationalism by blaming 'those Mexicans and African-Americans' for crime, until I point out all the white folk that have created havoc on society - school shootings, child abuse, bombings, wife-beating (even Steve Bannon has beaten up on his wives).

People can display bigotry all they want, at the end of the day humans share 99.9 % of DNA. Case in point, some would call me a pasty white Caucasian, until I explain to them that I share part of my DNA with the Chinese. To all those racist Armenians out there, sorry to burst your bubble, but you actually share blood with folk that your parents lecture you about not marrying. The irony is not lost on me that many children of immigrants in the U.S. are defending 'white' America. I recommend you study your family tree and genetics, then come back to me. Go back far enough and you'll make a shocking discovery, we all evolved from Africa. Again, being narrow-minded and being focused on what's on the outside makes it hard to understand these cold hard facts.

I get that the majority of humans lack critical thinking skills, no, looking up information on your phone to seem intelligent doesn't count. If we're going to argue about which race is best then we are no more evolved than owls, one of the dumbest creature around. We don't choose the color of our skin or physical features. That's right KKK, when in the womb there is no magic button that makes you pop out white and non-Jewish. One things for sure, your ancestors came from Africa - deal with it!

As a Dallasite, I'm ashamed that Robert E. Lee has a park and statue in his honor just two miles from where I reside. Those not familiar with Dallas, let me just it sits adjacent to Turtle Creek (an affluent part of town), which proves once again money cannot buy integrity. No one can be bothered to get out of their expensive European cars (funny how rich Americans drive prestige cars from socialist countries) and lack the time to denounce this abhorrent relic to a disgusting racist. I'm proud to have given a big two thumbs down to this atrocious landmark.
The 43rd President was lambasted, and rightly so for being an illiterate warmonger. I will never forget his lack of compassion (Hurricane Katrina), cruelty (two wars that brought back bags of soldiers and slaughtered countless innocent woman and children), Patriot Act (so much for being a freedom lover, more like stalker-in-chief). It's only fair that the current Neanderthal-in-chief is equally scolded for bringing shame to these United States.

If you or anyone you know voted for or defends the 45th President, 48th Vice President (of gay conversion fame) or any politician that is pro-gun and thinks healthcare is not a right, then please disown them, even if you share blood ties. You could die at any minute, so why have being associated with inhumane creatures on your conscious.  If you need to have a laugh, remind yourself that these folk and their supporters highlight their Christian values (somehow they have no idea what compassion is, maybe Jesus' teachings are too progressive for them). Satan can't wait to welcome these fraudsters to hell.

Big D odyssey

Today marks two years of living in one of the great (if not greatest) cities in the world! It now has a worthy place among my favorite cities (Barcelona, Philadelphia and Vienna you have been warned). I've traveled far and wide, and even though Dallas doesn't have thousands of years history (like my beloved Yerevan), it has a unique mix of modern metropolis and pioneer town infused with the African-American and Hispanic culture that adds so much vibrancy.
J.R. Ewing would be proud (I had to play up to the stereotype). To think my parents had Dallas on in the living room growing up, I blame them for my move! Now that I mentioned one of the greatest fictional characters to grace our screen, how good is the opening credits to Dallas the TV series (1978-91). Here's the updated version (when the series was rebooted in 2012) - now this is how you market a city in under a minute.
Big D has many claims to fame...Many of America's prominent companies call it home, such as AT&T (world's largest telecommunications company), Southwest Airlines, Texas Instruments, also Exxon-Mobil has its headquarters in the Dallas suburb of Irving. Outside of being a corporate mecca, it's known for having the world's richest sporting club (Dallas Cowboys), America's priciest estate (Crespi Hicks), nations largest light rail network and urban arts district. One of 13 U.S. cities with a presence in all 4 major professional sports (as a hockey tragic this is of utmost importance). Has some funky neighborhoods catering to all cultural tastes, an abundance of biking/walking trails for outdoor enthusiasts (home to the nation's largest urban forest) and being part of a Metroplex brings with it another great city on its doorstep (Fort Worth), plus picturesque towns like Grapevine nearby. To top it off, it's within striking distance to Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and the diverse Texan cities of Austin, Houston, San Antonio. Personally, I've been a skyline fanatic ever since I was knee high, so seeing the city lit up during a sundown bike ride never gets boring.
On the downside it's home to arguably America's worst president (soon to be dislodged by the current bumpkin-in-chief), this will forever give Dallas bragging rights over New York. I happen to reside 1.5 miles from the George W. Bush Presidential library, let's just say it has confirmed my suspicion that being commander-in-chief requires a third graders mental aptitude. The most annoying sporting fans, as the Cowboys are referred to as America's team, their supporters think they have the right to shove it down your throat! As someone into 4 seasons, it definitely lacks in that department, 100 days of 100°F weather with a few days of snowy days just doesn't cut it. Although it does get some famous ice storms - anything that reminds me of one of the best films, 'The Ice Storm' is acceptable. Having random chats about where I'm from still takes up way too much time at the check out counter. Just as well I'm an interpreter, lets just say translation is needed when explaining what a rockmelon means in an Australian accent to a Southerner.

Who knows where I'll be in the future...One must move constantly around before death, as life's way too short! Whatever happens, I can look back fondly on my time in the heart of Texas. Oh dear, I just started humming the classic Dallas anthem, 'Deep in the Heart of Texas'. Time to stop writing, before I start singing it out loud!
