Ginny is part of the anti pipeline group which is incredibly online. Howard has spent a lot of her adult life advocating for many groups, while Ginny only got involved when Mariner East went through her backyard. It's basically her only platform position. No one is pro pipeline either, despite what they all would say. ME2 is bad.

Ginny ran for county commissioner last year too and finished fourth out of four candidates in the primary. Kristine was able to win a republican held seat in 2018.

Ian Smith, co-owner of Atilis Gym, said he plans to open at 8 a.m. Monday for members. Smith said they’ve decided to limit capacity to 20% or about 44 people at a time, but he expects “thousands” of people to show up after a primetime national television interview Wednesday.

Smith told Carlson he thought Gov. Phil Murphy’s order to close nonessential business was unfair and an infringement on his Constitutional rights. “Our main objective is to show the world, but especially the governor, that we reject the premise of essential versus nonessential businesses. Our goal is to make a statement. We don’t need a nanny state to tell us you can’t go outside.”

Smith said he and Trumbetti (his business partner) are “not saying take masks off and throw caution to the wind.” “Frank’s mother is hospitalized with COVID,” Smith said. “She’s probably not going to make it. My partner is watching his mom lose the battle.”

What a bunch of dumbbells.

“He drove drunk, killed somebody, gets probably one of the lightest sentences I’ve ever seen,” said Henchy, a retired Absecon police officer. “And now 13 years later, you’re out defying the law once again. I just don’t get it. He already killed somebody and now he’s going to put other people’s lives in jeopardy by opening the gym.”

Beth Henchy, Robert Henchy’s wife and Ade’s aunt, said she doesn’t want to be angry with Smith, but she feels his actions now show he still does not value others’ lives.

“I used to drive in my car and say, ‘I forgive. I forgive Ian Smith,’ hoping if I said it, I would feel it,” she said in an interview Wednesday. “And then I look at this and... I’m angry again.”

Jo Rae Perkins bested three other candidates to win the GOP nomination to face Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) in November.
In a video posted to her Twitter feed Tuesday night, Perkins declared that she supports the conspiracy theory, which revolves around “Q,” an anonymous Internet user claiming to be a government agent with top security clearance.
“Where we go one, we go all,” Perkins said in the video, reciting a QAnon slogan. “I stand with President Trump. I stand with Q and the team. Thank you Anons, and thank you patriots. And together, we can save our republic.”

Sen. Todd C. Young (R-Ind.), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said he would need to learn more about Perkins but that the organization generally gives its backing to GOP candidates.
“I don’t know anything about that,” Young said when asked about Perkins’s belief in QAnon. “I’ll have to learn more about it, but the NRSC tends to support Republican candidates, as you know.”

The term "OBAMAGATE" is the Trump equivalent of yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater without even a puff of smoke present. It is a distraction from the utter failure of this administration. These guys are masters at throwing #$!&@ out there without any proof of anything. Remember all that Biden/Obama dirt Rudy released from his crack investigation in the Ukraine? Yeah, me neither.

you did see that just today some senate committee voted along party lines to subpoena records from the ukraine company that hunter biden worked for right? smokescreen keeps rollin' along

I mean if we don't stop it now some day one of the jokers might end up in the white house. The cycle of nepotism is unstoppable at that point. Heck, you might end up with a president who puts his daughter and son in law in important roles.

A federal judge overseeing the trial of President Trump's former confidant, Roger Stone, has ordered that the federal government turn over at least 20 emails related to the White House's order to halt military aid to Ukraine, which sparked impeachment proceedings against the president on Capitol Hill.

Law and Crime reported that Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled in favor of a motion for summary judgement filed by The New York Times and ordered the White House to provide her with emails that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) previously refused to turn over, citing executive privilege.

"Specifically, the documents in this category are emails that reflect communications by either the President, the Vice President, or the President's immediate advisors regarding Presidential decision-making about the scope, duration, and purpose of the hold on military assistance to Ukraine," OMB Deputy General Counsel Heather Walsh said of the emails in court filings.

Berman Jackson reportedly said in her ruling that she would personally determine if the emails are protected by executive privilege, directing the Justice Department's attorneys to provide the documents before May 20.

Jeff Sprecher, the husband of Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.), sent a $1 million check to the leading pro-Trump super PAC even as she been fending off criticism around her family’s stock trading.

Sprecher, chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, donated to America First Action on April 29, according to a report the Federal Election Commission filed Wednesday evening. America First has been described as the sole “approved outside non-campaign group” by the Trump campaign.

I am so glad to be home and back with my family. There is so much I want to say and intend to say. But now is not the right time. Soon. Thank you to all my friends and supporters.

Joe had just called in some favors to get his 43 year old son with a history of drug abuse into the Navy, and Hunter screwed that up immediately. Less than a year later, he's taking the job in Ukraine. I get the vibe that Joe had probably told him you're on your own.

I mean, there is a scandal here, but it's about the failures of American meritocracy and not corruption in Ukraine, and it implicates way more people than just the Bidens.
