n what is hopefully a promising sign for Republicans in the midterm elections, Guam has unofficially elected a Republican governor and a Republican legislative majority together for the first time in 18 years, putting the territory’s government firmly in Republican hands.
While the results have not been finalized, Republican Tony Ada holds a lead over Democrat Therese M. Terlaje, with 51.5 percent of the vote to her 48.1 percent, a margin of about 1,000 votes.

A lot of Guamians remember their status under Japanese rule and that the last of those Japanese did not leave until the 1970s.
Nice way to start the afternoon, good post.
Oddly, I was just wondering about guam.
Long as it doesn’t tip over, great.

As I recall, Tony Ada has been a major promoter of Second Amendment in Guam.
Let’s not get too excited. They haven’t had their late night ballot dump yet.
“hat the last of those Japanese did not leave until the 1970s.”
I was there then (as a kiddo; my dad was Air Force). I have no idea what you are talking about. For clarity, I’m not challenging the truthfulness of your statement. But it’s literally news to me.
Mind you, I didn’t leave base housing much.
The last known Japanese holdouts from WW--II on Guam surrendered in the 1970s.
Or are you talking about that one soldier who hid in the jungle?
OK, I got that. I read your post like they had some sort of civil or military authority there. Not a old guy in the jungle for 30 years.
Now, if it just won’t capsize we’ll be ok...
Actually, there were quite a few of them and IIRC violent encounters with holdouts continued after WW-II.
polling just off, eh?
I just saw a website that said that the Dems flipped a GOP seat on Guam. So which is it?
Having been not on Guam but to the Northern Mariana Islands which are directly north of it, I’m always a little sad that people are so unaware of this American territory or even think that it’s just a joke. It’s a very strategically important place, most people know that much about Guam. Saipan and Tinian are just north of there and also important.
They are suffering serious economic problems from multiple typhoons and the result of banning Chinese visitors to some extent. Also they suffer from a welfare state mentality and resentment by the local people who want money from America but don’t want to develop their obvious tourist potential.
Just sharing. If you ever get a chance to visit these islands definitely take the opportunity. It is a relatively short flight from a trip to Tokyo.
I’ve traveled a good amount and the island of Rota was among the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen.
That poll was pretty close. /s
Flipped Guam ? LOL
