Epstein files release sees Clinton visiting across the border
[Hindi Times] Bill Clinton was seen visiting San Miguel de Allende, a city in the central Mexico state of Guanajuato hours after being named in the Jeffrey Epstein list.

Bill Clinton was spotted smiling, greeting fans in Mexico hours after the Jeffrey Epstein list was released. Clinton was named among many other prominent people.

The 77-year-old former president was seen visiting San Miguel de Allende, a city in the central Mexico state of Guanajuato. Mayor Mauricio Trejo Pureco shared a photo of Clinton on X, captioning it, "Even Bill Clinton walks calmly and safely through the streets of San Miguel de Allende." Clinton was seen shaking hands with a passerby while having coffee.
Lots of pretty young girls in San Miguel de Allende, I’d bet.

#4  swksvolFF, mi hermano, at the time Bill was the leader of the Free (at the time) World. Status carries with it obligations. Like look at JFK's women. I mean, Monica is like an inflatable doll.

#6  ^ My take as well. In Mexico somewhere, or Argentina, or Brazil. Ya just never know.

#7  And Hillary was?

I mean, if we are going to play 1-10, Monica is at least a +5.

BJ Clinton was a up and coming charismatic diviant who Hillary sought out for political opportunity, got some goods so rich she forced a marriage, and let him have his sins so long as she called the machine shots. JFK was a playboy. Subtle, but distinct difference.

Not this old, "Hillary was the brain"! We've seen, subsequently, she's an idiot.

#12  Bill Clinton used to say Hillary was smarter than him. I understood that to mean she was better at being a student, because it was always clear he was miles beyond her for political/social intelligence, even though he was the one who got a Rhodes scholarship, while she was hired for the House Judiciary Committee Watergate Investigation team.

There is a thing some successful people do of claiming that the supporting spouse is much smarter. Mr. Wife does it, and I’ve seen it here — very sweet and loving, maybe even true, but at least in my case it’s definitely a matter of different types of intelligence, because Mr. Wife is much better at figuring out and moving in the real world, whether people or money.

But there the parallel ends. Unlike Mr. Hillary Clinton, Mr. Wife is neither a rapey creep nor a pervert.

Transgender Ohio House candidate fails to make ballot for not listing former name
[BEACONJOURNAL] A transgender woman running for the Ohio House was rejected from the ballot for not listing her former name.

Vanessa Joy was the only Democrat seeking the Ohio House 50th District seat, which forms a U-shape in Stark County and includes Canal Fulton, East Canton, Massillon and Minerva.

Joy had enough valid signatures to qualify. Problem was, Stark County's four-member Board of Elections found a flaw in her petitions because she legally changed her name in 2022 and did not include her former name on the petitions she'd circulated, as required by law.

Joy said she didn't know she had to include her former name. State law requires anyone who's changed names during the past five years — for almost any reason — to include his or her former name on petitions.

"That's annoying ... obviously they got me on that," she said by phone.

Joy said she'll reach out to members of the state's House Democratic Caucus for advice. By law, non-certified candidates have until Friday to appeal the board's decision.

In an interview with statehouse news hound Morgan Trau of ABC 5 in Cleveland, kept in touch with the world by Obamaphone,
...was ruled by a Democrat machine from 1942 through 1971. After the river caught fire during the administration of Carl Stokes they tried a Republican, then went back to being Democrats when the party hacked up Dennis Kucinich ...
, Joy said she would "have had to have my dead name on my petitions."

Channel 5 is The Canton Repository's Cleveland TV partner.

"But in the trans community, our dead names are dead; there's a reason it's dead — that is a dead person who is gone and buried," Joy said.
Nope. It's who you are/were before your mental illness kicked in
With Joy out of the 50th House race, Republican Matthew Kishman stands to win in the fall, unless a write-in candidate enters the fray. The 50th District incumbent, Reggie Stoltzfus, R-Gay Paree Township, opted to run for Congress.

#1  But in the trans community

Um, the petitions were circulated in the entire community, hon. You can pick and choose a lot of things (or think you can) but the law isn't one of them.

Usually.

#2  Clever, hiding the Adam's Apple with that neck goiter
Posted by: Frank G || 01/05/2024 9:35 Comments || Top||

#3  Dead name Joy may win an appeal, but I can’t see that blue collar district electing dead name Joy. Maybe Massillon has a Castro District that I don’t know about, but the campaign seems pointless. No Dem wants to run in the district, but a tranny is going to win seems extremely optimistic on dead name Joy’s part.
Posted by: Super Hose || 01/05/2024 10:10 Comments || Top||

#4  Ah, but when “Vanessa” loses, they can loudly blame it on bigotry, so either way they get what they want.
Posted by: trailing wife || 01/05/2024 11:56 Comments || Top||

#5  So it didn't know the law? Either sloppy research or willfully choosing to not follow.

#6  California to provide free sex changes for illegal immigrants

#7  #^ I thought Bee.
Posted by: Grom the Reflective || 01/05/2024 12:36 Comments || Top||

#8  But got it's pronouns correct, and that's the important part.
Posted by: ed in texas || 01/05/2024 13:24 Comments || Top||

#9  "That's annoying ... obviously they got me on that,"

That's some quality GirlFace charade; problems are always somebody else's fault.
Posted by: swksvolFF || 01/05/2024 13:37 Comments || Top||

#10  Hold up. Wait a second.

that is a dead person who is gone and buried

If Vinny died last year, isn't a 1 year old ineligible for office?

New Philadelphia mayor declares crime emergency first day in office
[JUSTTHENEWS] Philadelphia Democratic Mayor Cherelle Parker declared crime a public safety emergency her first day in office through an executive order that calls on the city's police department to "vigorously enforce" existing laws and for officials to develop a plan to increase the number of police officers.

Parker, Philadelphia's 100th mayor and the first female, took over the office from former Mayor Jim Kenney when she was formally inaugurated Tuesday.

"In our first 100 days, my administration will announce specific plans to increase the number of Philadelphia police officers on our streets—with a focus on community policing citywide," Parker said in her inaugural address. "We must rebuild trust between Police and the communities they serve. Our officers must be guardians, not warriors."

Former Mayor Jim Kenney, Parker's predecessor, was criticized for a rise in crime rates under his watch as he oversaw major criminal justice reform measures such as banning traffic stops for minor offenses.

Crime increased more than 11% from 2022 to 2023 and more than 23% from 2021 to 2022, according to Philadelphia Police Department Data,

In declaring crime a public safety emergency via an executive order, Parker directed the police commissioner and other city officials to "develop a comprehensive plan within 100 days for increasing the number of police officers conducting patrol operations."

The order also calls on officials to create a "near-term public safety plan" to reduce violent crime rates, combat property crimes and "permanently shut down all pervasive open-air drug markets." These are markets that operate in specific areas at certain times so buyers and sellers can easily find each other.
