Jimmy Carter, RIP-- December 29, 2024

listal.com

Former President Jimmy Carter has died. I offer my condolences to the Carter family. Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter were married for 77 years. She advised Jimmy throughout his career. They had the best post-presidency marriage of all, doing work for Habitat for Humanity, for mental health and for equal rights. He was the first US President to reach the age of 100. I voted for him in 1980. His basic decency caused him to make some mistakes as president, but he was by far our greatest ex-president. He acted as an actual Christian. He helped to create peace agreements. The Carter Center promotes human rights. He worked steadily for Habitat for Humanity. He taught Sunday School until recently. I'll bet he was good at it.

Jimmy Carter 100 -- October 1, 2024

Happy 100th birthday to former President Jimmy Carter. He is the first US President to reach that age. I voted for him in 1980. His basic decency caused him to make some mistakes as president, but he has been our greatest ex-president. He has acted as an actual Christian. He has helped to create peace agreements. The Carter Center promotes human rights. He has worked steadily for Habitat for Humanity.  He taught Sunday School until recently. I'll bet he was good at it. 

I am praying for President Carter to get his wish; he wants to live long enough to vote for Kamala Harris. 

 

Harris/Walz 2024 -- August 9, 2024

Vice President Kamala Harris has chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. I like them both. He came up with idea of calling Trump and Vance and their ideas "weird" and "creepy."

COVID-19 statistics have been going up. 

We had an insane month, with an awful debate between President Joe Biden and convicted felon Donald Trump, the Republican National Convention, President Biden withdrew in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris. 

We seem to have a stalemate in Ukraine. 

The Paris Olympics started with an entertaining opening ceremony.

Joe Biden Steps Aside -- July 21, 2024

I woke up this morning and learned that President Joe Biden is withdrawing as a candidate for reelection. This is sad. It will be interesting to see who goes forward as the new candidate. I would vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.

I'm happy that we have our first woman Vice President, Kamala Harris. . 

A Real President -- January 20, 2021

At last we have a real president. We also have our first female, African American and South Asian vice president. Our former so-called president skipped the ceremony and skedaddled for Florida. 

I said a prayer for both of them and for the United States. 

When I was young, I often wondered why we had never had a president named Joe.

Good choice. This should also upset our current so-called president. 

They Won/We Won -- November 7, 2020

 It took a lot of counting, made slower by the great flood of absentee ballots, but the networks have finally called the election for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. He has always seemed to be a good guy and she will be the first female vice president and the first of African or Asian descent. Great crowds of people are celebrating in the streets of many cities.

Happy International Women's Day. #InternationalWomensDay

I was going to vote for Kamala Harris.  Then I was going to vote for Elizabeth Warren.  Some day I hope to see a woman elected president.
