Life Through My Eyes
“If you force Muslims to register, we will all register as Muslims” said Feminist icon Gloria Steinem. “I stand ready to register as Muslim in #solidarity“ said the Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. “I stand ready to register as a Muslim in solidarity if it comes to that” said actress Mayim Bialik. I don’t …
I didn’t watch the inauguration. If you know what a news and political junkies we are in this house, this was big. News are big in our house. Domestic and international. Politics are discussed profusely. Throughout the day, there are texts, news alerts and tweets sent among our household group text. We watch the news …

Being the political junkie that I am, I stayed up until 2:30 AM the night of the Iowa caucus until we FINALLY found out who the winner was after all of the confusion and back and forth… and probably one of the closest elections ever.
