Decades from now, people will ask you where you were when Hillary Clinton became the first woman nominee for President of the United States. What will you tell them?

After a big win in California, and 3 other states in yesterday's primaries, she surpassed the number of delegates needed to clinch the Democratic nomination.
On Tuesday morning, after she was already presumed to be the nominee, she urged people to vote anyway. With Bernie Sanders threatening to steal delegates from Clinton, Clinton held her own, and she had the unfailing support of her delegates.

Last night, Clinton took the stage in Brooklyn, NY and spoke about this moment in history:
"Barriers can come down. Justice and equality can win. This campaign is about making sure there are no ceilings, no limits on any of us. This is our moment to come together."

There is one more contest that the candidates will be campaigning for: the District of Columbia. The DC primary will be held next Tuesday. Clinton is setting her sights on Donald Trump, and she unofficially has the support of President Obama.
Clinton did make a shout-out to Bernie Sanders, and talked about Democrats needing to work together to overthrow Donald Trump.

As for Bernie Sanders, the man with the "never say die" attitude, he is continuing his fight. He will be working hard to persuade voters in DC, and he will also be working on the superdelegates that are already pledged to Hillary Clinton. Sanders didn't respond to Clinton's speech. He continues to blame mainstream media for his lack of support.

My Two Cents

Love Hillary Clinton, or hate Hillary Clinton, you cannot help but be proud of this moment in history. A woman has the chance to become President of the United States. This is what women 100 years ago were dreaming about. This is what women worked themselves to the bone for. A woman could have the ultimate power in this country. Yes, it is Hillary Clinton, but come on. This is HUGE!
As a woman, and a feminist, I'm celebrating. We can now tell our daughters and granddaughters that they can truly become whomever they want to be. They can even become President. The White House is no longer a 'man's only' domain. It can also be a domain for women.

....this doesn't mean I'm voting for her, by the way. She's still shady AF. However, if by some small chance Bernie Sanders joins forces with Hillary Clinton, I might be persuaded to vote for her in November.

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

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.

Why TNT did not air the season premiere of "The Last Ship."

Photo credit: screenrant Fans who were awaiting the season premiere of "The Last Ship" last night were met with disappointment. TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion.
