Also…<\/p>\n
Why wouldn’t I be??? I’ve been voting her into various statewide and national offices since her first run for California Attorney General in 2010. The last thing I did before moving to Washington in 2016 was to vote for her in the California State Primary for U.S. Senator! I’m even getting involved in her presidential campaign.<\/p>\n [+] Vance.<\/strong> I did my due diligence and looked into J.D. Vance… and it just turned me more and more off from him. It’s not just his bitchy remarks about cat ladies. He solicited money to create a charity to fight opioid abuse and used the money on a political consultant to decide about running for office instead<\/a>. (Appalachians are big mad<\/a> about this.) He had a lot of advantages and he could have used them to actually *HELP*<\/strong> people… but he didn’t. He and Trump are very focused on what will benefit themselves, and that is not an appropriate attitude to have for the offices they are seeking. Also? He’s allegedly a techbro, and none of my Silicon Valley friends in the industry have anything good to say about him. He has almost no political experience, and his foot-in-mouth comments show that. <\/p>\n Not to mention, a lot of Appalachia thinks he’s a loser.

We had been thwarted by surgeries (2018), family funerals (2019), and the pandemic (2020-2023). It was hot, but it was still worth it. My monster indulged me traipsing through all the animal barns, the quilting and craft displays, and standing in line to cross a few “fair food” items off of my bucket list. (The deep-fried Snickers was a 9\/10, and the deep-fried Twinkie was completely forgettable.)<\/p>\n [+] Camp NaNoWriMo.<\/strong> I attempted Camp NaNoWriMo in July, and only made it to 20,000 words because of severe writer’s block. Given that it was completely a last minute decision, I’m going to do some planning and re-attempt it in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow. My break from posting lasted longer than expected. [+] To nobody’s surprise… I’m laughing my butt off at how Joe Biden played the GOP with the timing of his announcement that he was dropping out of the race. He … Continue reading ![\"I'm](\"http:\/\/grace-filled.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/imwithher.jpg\")
