Kari said this person called her and told her that he would come to her house in Arizona because it had to be discussed in person. Kari claimed she was offered a position, title and money by a man from out east, to stay out of politics for the next two years. This would keep her out of contention, for the Arizona Senate seat and as VP Candidate for whom ever wins the nomination. The reason for this thread...

A minister has denied the UK government tried to scare the public into following COVID-19 lockdown rules after leaked messages suggest former Health Secretary Matt Hancock wanted to “frighten the pants off everyone” in order to ensure compliance. The latest set of WhatsApp exchanges, published in The Sunday Telegraph, shows how Hancock and other officials discussed using an announcement about the Kent variant of the virus to scare the public into changing their behaviour.

They allow us to see the world exactly as it was, whether it was yesterday or a hundred years ago.

To get maybe a ten-minute audience With Trump. It has to do with the critical issue of his VP. I'm look past 2024 (Trump will be elected President) to 2028 and beyond. His VP is critical to the post-Trump era of America. This is a longshot, I know. But my life is nothing if not a series of longshots. Although I'm making myself vulnerable to sarcasm, sarcasm not welcome on this thread, only well-meaning, good-faith, and hopefully effective responses. Thank you.
