Samantha is an entitled little shit who did not follow the assignment and thus she failed! Not following: Citing sources The word requirement No clear ties to the article No clarity of writing She tried a gotcha, fucked around and found out! Good!
“It is something that has been needed and desired at the White House for over 150 years”
Bullshit. No one’s ever talked about it. Besides, we already have the Library of Congress ballroom that far surpasses his tacky imitation.
The State Department has a fine ballroom. Click to enlarge:
In stunning upset victory, Higgins also becomes first woman in post and first non-Hispanic candidate since 90s
Democrat Eileen Higgins was elected mayor of Miami on Tuesday night in a stunning upset victory that reversed a run of recent Republican successes in Florida.
The election of Higgins, 61, a former county commissioner, also added to a string of Democratic wins across the country that have served to highlight the growing level of resistance to Donald Trump in his second presidential term.
Miami-Dade, a county with a significant immigrant population, voted for Trump in historic numbers in 2024, making him the first Republican presidential candidate to win it since 1988.
That majority melted away in Tuesday’s run-off as Higgins became the first Democrat in 30 years to become mayor of the city of Miami. After winning 36% of the vote in last month’s election after which the top two candidates moved forward, she bested Republican Emilio González, a former city manager.
Republicans’ determination to retain the office in what was, in theory at least, a nonpartisan race was reflected in the number of party heavyweights who lined up to back González. Trump posted two fulsome endorsements on Truth Social, both spelling González’s name incorrectly, and aligning him with the Trump agenda for “secure borders” and cracking down on “migrant crime”.
Higgins, too, focused much of her campaign on immigration. (snip-a bit MORE)
Ok to tell you what is going on and why there are going to be a few days of these old news stories doing things most people don’t want shows the tRump cult doing horrendous stuff. During the last two months I have not been able to find time to read even the Joe My God headlines much less read news. Getting the cartoon / memes post out was the most I could do with the time I had and even then there were missed days. My time that I could force myself to stay awake and out of my bed was spent making meals, cleaning up making / cooking meals, and doing it three times a day so that Ron could drive himself to redo the two torn up bathrooms. Especially as the deadline of his needing to go to Texas to help his sister and bringing her back here. For the first time I was able to go back through Joe My God’s headlines and stories. I went back over 36 webpages leaving open 270 open tabs of stuff I need to sort post, and to share. Hope you enjoy. Tomorrow’s work will be getting to the wonderful comments I love so much. And I wrote this several days ago and still no time. But it is getting better. Hugs
Oh I will try to put these / group them in the groups that will hope make sense. Hugs
There are two links here; one to the opening ad on Bluesky, then the link for her campaign website. It is my custom, when we have great candidates, to post about their campaigns here, so we can help get them elected and have people in our legislature who will do our work the way we direct them. So this time, it’s Rep. Jasmine Crockett.
She speaks truth when she speaks; in the Guardian published yesterday, she stated that while she will run in and continue to serve TX, her running is bigger than TX because the Senate makes many decisions for the entire country, and she will keep her vision broad. She said more, as well, all good. Maybe I should look it up; it was in yesterday’s Guardian newsletter so probably we’ve all already read it. Meanwhile, lets get some good people elected! It only costs some time; money is only involved if we are able and choose to contribute. But they really need our time and our thoughtful conversation with people we know, in order to get out the vote. We can have a good legislature, if we want it. What we do shows what we care about.
