1. Welp, Rudy FAFO. All this while Orange Jesus Adjudicated Rapist was in Minnesota planting seeds of election doubt by claiming he won Minnesota in 2020 and he’s going to win lose it again! Bigly! 
    

   According to the NY Post report, Some partygoers “started screaming, and one woman even cried as Giuliani was served.”

   1. Hmm, that 80 in the background is a nice round number.  Perhaps the number of months Rudy the Desperado may wind up serving in prison?

      1. But Sleepy Joe is the one who can’t function and can’t remember things.  …..

          

         Should anyone want to check, you can go back to the WAPO analysis updated at the end of 4 years of Trump’s Sad!-ministration to see what happened to 60 campaign promises given during the 2016 campaign.

         https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-promise-tracker/

         The score:   Promises kept 19    Promises broken 30   Compromise 10   Launched 0  Stuck 0 

         First item:  “Create at least 10 million jobs in the first term” 

         actual performance:  Net change in jobs since Jan. 2017: −2,981,000. 

         even pre-pandemic, “In his first three years, job growth had not quite kept pace at a level for Trump to meet his goal.”

2. Women's rights will be on the ballot in November.  It's official!  And hopefully will drive voter turn out across the state– and in other states as well.

   1. It's going to be a comfortable approval over 60%.

3. As Jimmy prepares to cross the Rainbow. 🌈 Bridge the contrast is stunning: 99 years of servant leadership and service to the country, building homes for those in need and setting an example of what shared community and real Christianity looks like vs 90+ indictments and a life devoted to greed, lust, greed infidelity, pride, and lies.

   Sending light for a gentle landing in the next world. #jimmycarter

4. Jimmy said he wanted to live long enough to see the elimination of Guinea Worms afflicting people.

   The Carter Center reported in April, 2024:

   When The Carter Center began leading the international campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease in 1986, there were an estimated 3.5 million cases in at least 21 countries in Africa and Asia. Today, that number has been reduced by more than 99.99%.

   
   Reported Global Cases:Guinea Worm Disease in Humans
   ……..2023 Jan. 1 – Dec. 31…..14
   ………2024 Jan. 1 – March 31….0
   

   He may hang on long enough to see it happen.

5. The Colorado Sun has a solid article on the Colorado Republican Party led by Dave Williams.

   Colorado GOP chair’s embrace of Trump tactics splits party as he tries to boost his own campaign

   “The Colorado Republican Party, in my opinion, certainly under Williams’ leadership, has been forced to ask questions that they never grappled with before,” said state Rep. Matt Soper, a Republican who worked with Williams in the Statehouse. “What kind of Republican Party do we want to be?”

   Williams’ tenure has left Colorado GOP rife with public infighting, in no small part prompted by his own attacks on fellow Republicans. While avoiding news interviews, Williams has sent short statements amounting to diatribes against rival Republicans, Democrats or the media.
