Sheena Monnin saw beauty pageants as a way to fulfill her potential she never imagined theyd be the gateway through which Donald Trump would try to destroy her life. Even now, she insists, the debacle has not made her anti-pageant, just anti-Trump.

I have decided to resign my position as Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012. Effective immediately I have voluntarily, completely, and utterly removed myself from the Miss Universe Organization. In good conscience I can no longer be affiliated in any way with an organization I consider to be fraudulent, lacking in morals, inconsistent, and in many ways trashy.
I do not support this system in any way. In my heart I believe in honesty, fair play, a fair opportunity, and high moral integrity, none of which in my opinion are part of this pageant system any longer.
Thank you all for your support and understanding as I walk a road I never dreamed Id need to walk, as I take a stand I never dreamed Id need to take. After 10 years of competing in a pageant system I once believed in, I now completely and irrevocably separate myself in every way and on every level from the Miss Universe Organization. I remove my support completely and have turned in the title of Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012.

In June she published a self-help book, Hands on the Wheel: Getting Control of Your Life, which draws on her experience being bullied by Trump to help advise readers in dealing with bullies wherever they may find them.
NOTE: Where is this book? Maybe we can help make it a best seller?

This stuff here is so "juicy". Why isn't MSM covering any of the countless disgusting tRUMP scandals. Geez, they don't have to look very far and don't have to dig very deep.
Here's a poll to ask MSM -- which is your "favorite" Donald Trump scandal? You can only choose one....I know it's kind of hard.
Geez, it's practically impossible to decide -- they're all filled with such vile.

Hillary Clinton - The Briefing
Do these videos just go out to her supporters, or do they end up going out to any news outlets? This latest one is great and very timely. I'm just wondering who gets to see them?
