She lost her Congressional seat by less than 1% in 2018.
I became very active in my local county commissioner’s race late this election cycle. My candidate won the right to continue to fight by 442 votes.
I am a numbers guy. Most of the votes were in my area and votes were cast on election day. I stood outside of numerous polling locations and waved a sign. I told myself that every smile, thumb’s up, or wave was a vote for my guy.
One person can make a difference. You just have to believe.
True story - Last year I started a scent of dissent in my county or as the newspaper stated the first “wiff of dissent’. I initiated the motivation to stop a 1% tax increase in my county and garnered the support of multitudes to knock the measure down.
If I can do it, anyone can do it as well. You just have to get off of your rearend and let your voice be heard.
As my wife used to say - “You can do it waterboy”!

Just not true.
Hillary has all kinds of dirt out there - and Wallace avoided it at all costs.
Have you seen him attack colleagues for criticizing Obama? There are Videos out there of him attacking his colleagues for criticism of Obama. Fox and Friends, IIRC.
Wallace is a leftist hack.
Wallace went on Late Night shows and mocked Trump. What kind of journalist does that?
He carried Hillary’s water for her - asking Trump to pledge to accept the results of the Election - in a Presidential debate! That came right from Hillary’s camp and pre-supposed he would lose.
You are woefully misinformed.

No, not everyone on the left is commie, some are far worse and some are just socialists. In any case they all want to see the transformation of America, which means the destruction of America. They are the enemy. Give them no harbor, safe or otherwise.
My hat is off to you. I was more active when I was younger. At 72, and because of health reasons, I have to do my fighting online, and on the phone. The unfortunate fact that during this lockdown, Cuomo’s office, and my State Legislator’s office were shut down, and no one was taking calls, or allowing you to leave a recorded message. Same thing with Congressional offices, especially the Democrats. Schumer is unfortunately my Senator. I tried to call his office several times, but could only get a recording, and no opportunity to leave a message. I just sent him a nastygram email about his wanting $25 million for the Post Office.
I can’t be that misinformed if, as I previously said, I agree with you that he is a liberal and he does love the gotcha questions. I have, however, watched his interviews and watched him go after folks on the left and call them out.
I don’t think our positions are too far off.
I must admit I always look forward to when Mike Pompeo is on with Wallace. Wallace starts off and tries to cut Pompeo off and then Mike let’s him have it. The one time Wallace was completely speechless and even backed off his line of questioning. It was great entertainment.
I am not looking for accolades. I do the best I can and sometimes I win and sometimes I lose.
I get friendly with office staff early on in their administration, that way I get personal phone numbers and can figure out the sequence of telephone numbers from there.
I asked my wife to marry me over two dozen times before she finally said - “I do”. I even drove from Texas to Ohio to see her and once I was 20 minutes away, she changed her mind. I am so used to people telling me no it does not bother me. To me, no just means I have to find a way to make them say Yes.
Hardheaded, stubborn, or ignorant, I do not care. I love the life I have lived and miss my wife of 20 years every day. She passed away almost three years ago.
God’s plan is eternity, my time on earth is short. I will see her soon and be with her again even if I have to ask another two dozen times. :) Shoot, she is just paving the way for me!

I stand corrected.

I worked in uniform in Corrections for 25 years. My favorite word to the inmates was "no." In most cases they'd already been told "no" by an officer, then they'd come cry to me (Sergeant), and I'd ask them what the officer said, and when they told me "no", I'd tell them, well then, there's your answer. If the inmate decided he'd go higher and whine, and if I heard from the supervisor he cried to, then the inmate was on my $hit list. They were nothing but babies who would whine to whoever they could just to get their way. We had no respect for the the brass that contradicted our decision. They were worthless, because they didn't have our backs.
By the way, I'm glad you finally got your wife to say "yes."
Fox News isn’t what it used to be. Fox Business is still good... for now.
Thanks. I’ve studied enough history. I’ve lived it for the
last 69 years.
I had a college course way back in the 1960s. It was Anthropology. It taught that there were 3 basic races of humans. Each has distinct differences.
Mongoloid (Asians), Caucasoid (Whites) and Negroid (Blacks)
I think blacks are the only racial group that have had the term used to describe them changed the most times over the years. Soon, they’ll be making the use of the terms black, and African-American racist.
