Within hours of Trump taking oath of office, key pages on the Whitehouse's website went missing. In Trump's inaugural address, he vowed to work for all Americans. Sadly, if you are LGBT or a person of color, this doesn't include you.

Trump went into the whitehouse.gov website and immediately removed pages from the issues section.
These pages included:
-LGBT
-Civil Rights
-Healthcare
-Climate Change

Various media outlets posted the results they got when they went to visit the above pages.

The Daily Beast posted this screenshot of what used to be the LGBT page:

This is a screenshot of what used to be the Civil Rights page:

When you searched for "healthcare" under the Issues section, this is the result The Daily Beast got:

In place of the Civil Rights page, Trump posted a page that supports racist law enforcement. He also posted on the page that inner cities should be known as "crime-ridden," and that black people are "criminals."

My Two Cents

I was going to post something about this last night, but I was too disgusted to formulate a single thought. Now that I am fully rested, I'm ready to go off on this story.

While I am not surprised that Trump is declaring war on the LGBT community and Civil Rights, I find it sickening that he has removed those pages and, in its place, has put a call for discrimination. It hasn't even been a full 24 hours since he took office, and already he has set us back about 100 years. What's next? Will he take away a woman's right to vote? Will we have to be barefoot and pregnant, and abused by some a**hole male that we are forced to marry? Is he going to reinstate slavery? Are people going to be forced back into the closet?
Already, the amazing work Barack Obama and his cabinet did for equality seems like such a long time ago.

Folks, if you aren't white, male, straight, and Christian, you are public enemy #1. This is Trump's America. This is what you elected for President.

In my eyes, he is no president. He does not represent me. He does not represent my family, and he does not represent my friends.

The fact that he is also declaring war on healthcare hits me pretty hard. As my loved ones and my avid readers know, I have a lot of health issues. I have an irreversible spinal cord injury, nerve damage in my left leg, a handful of autoimmune diseases, and I require constant monitoring. I'm on state insurance, and if I lose that, I may not see 40 (I'm 34). Even if I do live to see 40, I probably won't be able to walk (I have days where I can't walk well, or at all). Millions of people across the country can relate to my story. Some are even in worse shape than I am. There are cancer patients on Obamacare and if they lose their insurance, they won't live. I've read so many stories the last few days, and it breaks my heart that we have a president that does not care an ounce for them, or me. We are on our own, folks, and we won't get a chance to have our voices heard until 2020.

I'm disgusted with the leadership in this country, and I seriously wish that we could have someone fighting for us, the LGBT community, Civil Rights, climate change, and more. :-(

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed. Here is a list of the restaurants that have closed: Bella Luna Mangia Mangia Kati Allo Old Neighborhood Restaurant Amy's Baking Company (YAY!)
