Oh, and &#8220;On Monday, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore honored one of his state\u2019s most beloved military veterans, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wonkette.com\/p\/nice-abolitionist-helper-lady-from\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harriet Tubman<\/a>, by promoting Tubman posthumously to the rank of brigadier general in the state National Guard.&#8221; And why.

(If they would claim to be Christian Nationalists, and if people dogging on them would call them Christian Nationalists, I wouldn&#8217;t have a problem with the. The difference is huge and pretty well understood.) My advice to womwn married to Trump** voters it to get a no fault divorce, quickly, while you still can, because they are going to take that away too. A related article on PolitiZoom reported that the Ambassador from the Phillipines is advising any Filipinos here illegally keave NOW because if one is deported, one can never come back to the United States. That is not in the COnstitution, and I&#8217;m pretty sure that once cooler heads prevail, either that Federal Law could be over turned, or Amnesty for families of citizens could be established, but who knows how long it will be before cooler heads prevail?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S_FmJ8yP13g?si=NE0DKVXkcEwHzvpb\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fi_uhTw9FO8?si=3mad_BrOrVEyyKX_\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-55565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FAFO.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FAFO.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FAFO-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FAFO-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FAFO-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FAFO-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FAFO-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FAFO-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FAFO-64x64.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, I learned that we have one at least one of the so far uncalled House races, and it is the one Katie Porter held but had to resign when she ran for Senate.
