Former U.S. President Donald Trump wins seat on Hubbard Fire District board
KOIN ^ | June 29, 2013 | Jashayla Pettigrew

A former U.S. president has trumped all other candidates for a seat on the Hubbard Fire District board.

Following the Oregon Special Election held on Tuesday, May 16, the Statesman Journal reports that five write-in candidates received two votes for Hubbard Fire District Board Director Position No. 3.

Fire Chief Michael Kahrmann says 45th President Donald Trump was one of those candidates.

Officials rolled a 12-sided die multiple times to determine which of the individuals would take over the position. After representatives stood in for the other five candidates, none of whom were present during the meeting, Trump was declared the winner of the tiebreaker.

“The next step for the Hubbard Fire District is to determine if any of the other candidates are interested in the position,” Kahrmann told KOIN 6. “There is a requirement that Board Directors must either live in or own property in the Hubbard Fire District.”

The district serves about 5000 residents in seven square miles of western Oregon, compared to Portland Fire and Rescue’s service area of 150 square miles with more than 580,000 residents.

With a permanent residence at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., Trump hasn’t announced any plans to relocate to Hubbard — or neighboring towns Woodburn or Aurora.

However, Trump has announced his 2024 re-election run for the presidency. He also currently faces 37 charges for mishandling classified documents at his Florida home, making him the first former president in U.S. history to have a federal case against him.

Hubbard Fire District’s next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, July 12 at 6:30 p.m. at the Hubbard Fire Station. Officials are expected to decide who takes on the open board position then.

Knowing Trump somewhat, I expect him to at some point show up for a meeting. Make a short speech, thanking those who considered his name.

He and we know it was only a write in lark of a vote, but hey now, it’s campaign season. Might as well mine that goodwill where you find it!

Donald Trump will be the best Hubbard Fire District board member. I don’t say that but people say that. People say that Donald Trump will make the Hubbard Fire District the greatest fire district in Oregon history.

Is he moving? Why run for something like that when it’s on the other side of the country? He’s taking a local person’s spot just for fun?

Trump did not run for this office, some individuals just wrote him in, and it is such a small pool of voters that he ended up winning.

Stuff like this does happen. I remember reading some fluff election season piece, years ago, long before the internet. The angle was: did you vote for yourself, or not?

It had some stories of folks who ran for jobs like this one, fire district, school board, small town mayor, small town city council, etc.

Some did NOT vote for themselves, some did. I forget all the amusing/annoying details. But I did take away this lesson: if you are running for office ALWAYS vote for yourself.

After all, if you think you can do the job, you deserve your vote!

Trump can pay cash for a piece of property in Hubbard and qualify for the job!

Trump should make that meeting. Accept or decline it would be the classiest thing that could be done.

I can almost guarantee you he will show up, probably with new fire equipment for the District.

This is the kind of thing he's always done, not for money or votes, but because he knows it will do some good and make people happy.

Sure, he'a a boisterous and occasionally off-color New York-New Jersey real estate man who regularly ticks off the Karens. But first and foremost, he's an American. Remember those?

“Trump can pay cash for a piece of property in Hubbard and qualify for the job!”

HAHA! He could I suppose. But, I really do think the people of Hubbard deserve someone who can focus on that job, which Trump (for reasons good and bad) absolutely cannot.

But, he should go there, and thank the people for their confidence in him, and devotion to HONEST elections (come on, he HAS to do that, right?), and make some modest donation to a useful and popular cause.

Hope they are working on this now. Because, and I am serious here, it’s an honor to serve, and I know Trump knows that. He has got to RISE ABOVE the SLINGS AND ARROWS, and I can see this election in Hubbard providing a perfect vehicle for overcoming. The media will HAVE TO cover it.

Somewhere, DeSantis is wondering how he can get elected to a fire board 🔥

Truth is where you find it. Here we are,

...Trump wins seat on Hubbard Fire District board

Hubbard Fire District Board Director Position No. 3.

It's always something in Adventure Bay!

"The INTEL is literally everywhere, beginning with Joseph's coat" ~ pINTELe yid

He also currently faces 37 charges for mishandling classified documents...

"It's Classified" ~ Maverick (Top Gun)

People can laugh (derisively or in good spirit), because I take relationships seriously:

Yechida [יחידה] = 37

The Spark of Mashiach Within Every Jew (i)

"It is the duty of every individual Jew to perfect and prepare that part of the spiritual stature of Mashiach to which his soul is related."2

[The yechidah of each individual soul is its sublime and innermost essence.] Mashiach is the comprehensive yechidah,3 and the yechidah which is hidden within every individual Jew is a spark of the soul of Mashiach, who is the all-embracing yechidah.

When a Jew arouses the yechidah within himself, his quintessential Jewish spark, so that it governs his thought, speech and action, this is an act of individual redemption. Through this he uncovers the spark of the soul of Mashiach within him -- and this hastens the advent of the all-embracing Redemption, with the coming of Mashiach.

Likkutei Sichos, Vol. XX, p. 522

Chapter 3: Bringing the Redemption -- An Individual Obligation

(Ultimate Rescue)

And another thing, Levi was son No. 3. The Levites are the ones who are supposed to be in charge of the levity, yet..??!

"Come on, Baby, light my fire." ~ The Doors

Psalm 80

3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

What everyone needs, is a 'challenge coin':

Fire and the Half Shekel

He [Hashem] showed him [Moshe] the form of a coin of fire and its weight was half a Shekel, and He said to him, 'give like this'.

(A sure-fire recipe for rejection, because if anyone is persona-non-grata in Olam Hazeh -- this world -- it's a Jew).

How was it plainly evident that Moses saw a coin of *fire*, when it was but a metal coin with a simple design?

What God saw when He looked into Moses' eyes:

Suppose you want to know the color? It's like the fountains of the deep:



ש

Because, if you'll recall from previous posts (/s), propane [פרופאן] is used for eternal flames, is the portable fuel delivered in the trucks marked 1075 (that's Israel spelled out in fuel er full), and propane = 417, the same as the olive [זית] for the light. Or Adam + David + Mashiach, for that matter.

It pays to be observant! Can't look away!

Got questions? You might be a Jew.

No? What will you find today?

"Your surprise is waiting." 🔥 🦂

When will it all end?

Where will it all end?

On the Road Again

Because, wherever you find the tRUTH, you'll find RUTH.

"The life I love is making music with my friends." ~ King David

Last words of the song/concert linked from above:

"God bless you and keep the faith!" ~ Kris Kristofferson

Oh, and just one more thing...

Is there any more obvious proof that Waylon Jennings was at Sinai -- the most epic wedding day in the entire history of the world?! He was there!!! He knew the real deal!!!

"It was a picture-perfect wedding.."

If he did take a seat on the board it would be the best dang fire district in the USA. Make America Great Again, one fire district at a time.

Officials rolled a 12-sided die multiple times to determine which of the individuals would take over the position.

And the lot fell on Trump. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Which reminds me,

Although in truth fast asleep at the switch, eagle-eyed HR is notorious for finding something, anything wrong. A "REJECTED" stamp in every drawer!

Without that stamp, Haman Resource departments would have no meaning and purpose in life, and would have to accomplish something worthwhile for a change. Chas v'Shalom!

So invested in the importance and necessity of their mission, the HR departments of this world (are there any other kinds?) simply cannot comprehend that the Messiah could be anointed outside of their discriminating [dis]approval process. They've got jobs to keep! Nobody but nobody gets around HR.

It just so happens that I came across this very subject in a recent shiur:

"Ah, if you have Ahavas Yisrael you don't look so closely at things. You overlook things. You don't start saying, 'Ah this doesn't fit, that doesn't fit' -- you accept people the way they are. And you don't kind of look at them with scrutiny under a magnifying glass right. If you're looking for mistakes, you don't have Ahavas Yisrael."

Bilam & The Coming of Mashiach (HaRav Yitzchak Breitowitz)

Of course, Yosef Ha-Tzaddik used a magnifying glass in order to find *good* things. After all, on the surface, his resentful brothers appeared to have no love in their hearts whatsoever. Joseph's determination and perseverance sure go a long way in explaining why he is the key to the family mission. Out of Egypt, of all places.

With enough light, everybody's going to want to get along all of a sudden. No more TDS, Truth Derangement Syndrome.

It's like how the secret "pay" code of Redemption could be a secret code when everybody knows the code.

It's famous:

"Don't make me come down there." ~ God

(They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the MEMES cover the sea.)

Rodney Crowell - I Couldn't Leave You If I Tried (video, located at the crossroads)

Don't miss that fire truck (No. 3) at min. 2:10!
