Jennifer Tapper (Jake's wife) (Some very interesting choices of favorite D.C. restaurants)
Washingtonian ^ | February 6, 2015 | Kate Bennett

Posted on 12/08/2016 10:08:49 AM PST by Perseverando

Inspired by advocacy and social justice, a mom-of-two leads by example

With a devotion to women’s and children’s health and safety issues, Jennifer Tapper, 37, finds Washington the ideal place in which to raise her family.

“With all its passionate people trying to improve the world, and those policymakers who have the power to do so, it’s one of the reasons I love living in this town,” says Tapper, mom to Alice, seven, and Jack, four. When she’s not home in Northwest DC with her kids, Tapper works as an advocacy consultant, sharing knowledge from her early professional years as a social worker. “I also volunteer with AmeriCorps’ reading partners program, helping first- and second-graders to read,” she says. “That time every week allows me to understand that people need each other, and the most important thing we can do every day is to be kind.”

That attitude lets Tapper maintain a “don’t sweat the small stuff” perspective, an approach that serves her well with her kids. “Time is short and sweet, and I want their heads to be filled with happy memories and a calm and purposeful existence,” says Tapper, who aspires to teach kids at a Montessori school. “I hope to guide my children, but also let them learn things on their own.”

Helping her along the way is her husband, Jake Tapper, host of CNN’s The Lead, and anchor for the news network. It’s clear their family bond is strong, but Tapper never overlooks the parenting assistance of other supporters: “I also rely heavily on the advice of [television’s] Supernanny, my own mother, and my mom friends, because they are the real experts.”

Tapper is one of those women who can rattle off a funny anecdote without missing a beat, and with the wise undertone of having learned a thing or two the hard way. “Despite what I heard from one particular public-radio report about the benefits for children of the game Minecraft, it should be avoided,” she laughs. “Board games are always better than an iPad; sitting down to dinner together is a must, no matter what grownup stuff is going on.”

I was wondering the same thing. More importantly I was wondering why anyone would bother to post this drivel on FR!

No, they don't. They only have the power which either we have given them or they have stolen from us, the people.

No wonder Jake The Tap Dancer is so vehemently against anyone talking about pizzagate. This is the most I have seen him animated. More than Obama making secret deals with Iran, or with Medvedev “after he is reelected”...

“News” is just written for other “news” people. In the unfortunate times I get stuck watching CNN at the airport bar, they are interviewing other urinalists who interviewed other urinalists to report what another urinalist said about a urinalist.

“Inspired by advocacy and social justice”...remember, when you hear the words “advocacy” and “social,” you are going to be lied to.

Yes. I have a lotta lotta questions.

Maybe a good starter thread:
http://www.thedailysheeple.com/the-disturbing-disgusting-pedophile-code-hidden-in-the-john-podesta-emails_112016

http://i.imgur.com/RXZUHDD.png for the code

This just scratches the surface. Look at the code 1st, then read the daily sheeple thread. Do some looking and see if you think there is any smoke here.

I can believe that you watched that but I can't believe you chose to inflict that 7 minutes of idiocy on fellow FReepers..

So, they frequent at least two businesses on the pedo block.

Article nearly two years old. Wonder how often they’ve patronized this block in the past month.

To each his own, but you couldn’t pay me enough to live in that liberal cesspool much less raise children there.

There’s a photography studio next to Beyond Borders. Just saying...

Besta Pizza is owned by Andrew Kline, DOJ Human Trafficking Unit. Kline knows full well what the pedo symbols mean yet uses one for his logo. Why would he open a pizza joint a couple doors down from an existing pizza joint?

Never heard of Elizabeth Banks. Did a search, looked at images and read her wiki and still no recognition until finally finding out she’s the actress on the real estate commercial. Jennifer doesn’t set her sights very high.

Lots of kids hanging out likely because of the school bus stop there. Which came first, the bus stop or the pizza?

You think the pedos lobbied DCPS for a handy drop-off spot there?

I guess delivery is part of the pizza parlor culture.
