  1. Found a good quote from a female:

    "Toni Morrison once said, “the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being.”

  2. Nimarata Randahawa ran as "Nikki Haley"

    Piyush Jindal ran as "Bobby Jindal"

    Raphael Cruz ran as "Ted Cruz"

    James Donald Bowman as "JD Vance"

    Barack Obama ran as "Barack Obama"

    Kamala Harris is running as "Kamala Harris"

    Why are Republicans hiding their heritage?

    1. JD Vance was the groom in a big, expensive Hindu weddng to his gorgeous bride,  Usha Chilakiri Vance. His kids are “multi-racial”, if the definition of that is that one  has more than one obvious ethnic background.

      Yet I don’t think anybody’s seen JD bragging about his multi- ethnic family, nor denying it, nor shutting down Trump’s insinuations about how people have to pick one or the other ethnicity as their identity. Nor have we seen Democrats trying to use Vance’s marriage against him, cuz we don’t play that game. 

      Usha was also a high-powered lawyer who clerked for 2 Supreme Court justices. She resigned from her firm shortly after JD accepted the Veep spot, and is presumably reconciling herself to the role of stay-at-home tradwife- the role JD claims all women should aim for.

      1. Usha Vance may appreciate the few months of a break in routine from her role as a high-billing corporate lawyer. 

        If Trump/Vance win, she’ll no doubt have to take on a very visible “Second Lady” role — Melania ain’t coming back to be First (or Third) Lady.

        If Trump/Vance lose, she’ll be able to make a few phone calls and find a new gig until it is time for JD to start gearing up as a candidate for the Presidential nomination in 2028.

    2. You left out that famous Swede, Donald Drumpf, whose father changed their family name to Trump so as not to offend Jewish business associates in the 1940's who might take umbrage at doing business with a German while their relatives were being put in gas chambers in Germany.

      Oscar Wilde said, “Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.”

       

  3. Regrets about yesterday and worries about tomorrow keep us from being the best versions of ourself today.

    Motto: I can't change the past or stop the future but I can be present in this moment.
