I would like to remind everyone about an interview with (Not Tucker Carlson) from a few years back with (Not Lisa Durden) about a BLM event for Memorial Day in which White people were denied access, also known as segregation.

Angelle B. Gaspard

(Not Tucker): I was confused by this because I thought the whole point of black lives matter one of the points would be to speak out against singling people out on the basis of their race and punishing them for that because you can't control what your race is and yet they seem to be doing that explain that to me.

(Not Lisa Durden): What I say to that is boo hoo hoo you white people are angry because you couldn't use your white privilege card to get invited to the black lives matters all-black memorial day celebration.

As a BLM Co-Ordinator and Activist, I can categorically state that Martin Spellman has never stood for BLM, which he reiterated when he visited my campaign office. The only candidates standing up for the African American Communities and people in the race have always been John Donaldson and Levi Murphy.

Martin Spellman

I'd like to point you to the many dozens of BLM activists who have joined my campaign, the several donations and fundraisers I've made directly to benefit these organizations, or to my own vocal support of the matter on and off the debate stage. Disagreeing with your private beliefs that are more in line with John Donaldson and the establishment instead of authentic progressives was the only thing that came to light during that visit.

Caroline swallowed uncomfortably. Karel's mortality had always hung over affairs, especially considering the elder's desire to pass on his legacy - one that had been harmed by her own ambition in seeking the Speakership, where his contacts and state machine were quite useless to her. The last thing she wanted was for Karel to die an unhappy man. "You did your duty. You steadied the ship after Windsor failed us."

On average, every five days a police officer shoots and kills someone in Phoenix. Let me say that again, every five days someone is murdered by the police in Phoenix, a higher rate than the one in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, or Houston. And that doesn't even begin to go into the details of all the other forms of police brutality Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous Americans experience across Phoenix, Arizona, and the United States at large #NativeLivesMatter #BlackLivesMatter

“I know I have. But... I also have to think of the future. Who’ll replace me as the Democratic Leader, or as a Senator for New York? I’m not quite sure. I know who I don’t want -I don’t want one of Murphy’s friends to take the top job, unless Nez somehow makes her way to the Senate. And I certainly don’t want Donaldson running for Senate.”

"Damian's not ready for a Senate race. We could trust John Atang to an extent but he can get... ahead of himself. I confess, you're right that our choices in New York are severely limited." She rubbed the back of her neck with a sigh, shaking her head. "In theory, I could choose to pass on the Speakership early but earnestly, that'd be dropping Kathleen in at the deep end, and I'm very old to be starting a Senate career. As for Leader, well, it's hard to say who'd cut it. Moore's too vulnerable. Sullivan's too conservative. Goldman's too... inconsistent. Kelly'd work, but I'm not sure he wants it."

For my entire Gubernatorial Term, I served with a Republican legislature, large swaths of policing policy are handled at local county levels and state policy, while ideal and something I wish we'd done, was unattainable with Republican stonewalling.

Martin Spellman
@thespellman

---

While I am certainly the first to commend Sen. Dayton for her progressive initiatives during her tenure as governor and hope she sticks to her policy proposals if elected, I disagree with this tweet. We cannot continue to pretend that Democratic executives, whether that is the Presidency or governors, have their hands completely tied.

Martin Spellman
@thespellman

---

Sen. Dayton may not have had the ability to completely abolish race-driven policing but she had one chance to make a difference. And she failed. (Not-Reginald "Neli" Latson) was a young black American with autism who was accosted by police and treated horribly by Virginia's Department of Corrections.

Martin Spellman
@thespellman

---

He suffered solitary confinement and despite having obvious mental health needs, he was ignored and even went unfed or unable to use the bathroom. It was vile and inhumane treatment. And HE was charged with the crime, not the officers or staff who inflicted this physical and mental damage on him.

Martin Spellman
@thespellman

---

This happened in 2010 and while it was obvious we did not expect a radical conservative like (Not-Bob McDonnell) to offer mercy to (Not-Latson), civil rights and disability advocates pleaded with then-governor Jillian Dayton to offer him a full pardon, a pardon that would have spared him further abuse and allowed him to finally heal. A pardon that was well-within Jillian Dayton's authority as governor.

Martin Spellman
@thespellman

---

Yet a pardon never happened and instead of allowing her record to stand for civil rights and disability advocacy and for (Not-Niel)'s freedom, she allowed it to stand for continued violence against black and disabled lives. We are still fighting to get (Not-Niel) his freedom but let's not forget who let four years go by without doing anything: Jillian Dayton. She deserves to be held accountable.

I’ve been warming to the idea of Tim taking the top job. I know he would clash with you on foreign policy, but you two would be a fantastic team on domestic policy.”

"We all deserved better than this, unfortunately, life has felt like being a bitch for the last year," She joked.

"Is there anything I can do to be of help or comfort to you, Eliza?"

"Besides giving me a night in a wine cellar?" She continued to joke, only this time she was semi-serious.

[Puertollano]

Levi Murphy @LeviMurphy The American people have heard the excuses of Republican Houses, Senates too often already. Your record is your record, no matter the ratio of Democrats to Republicans in your State Houses.

Levi Murphy @LeviMurphy Dayton must confront her own legacy in the state of Virginia. It is undeniable that while she was Governor, her government oversaw countless police injustices towards the African-American community. I couldn't give a damn about your lame-ass excuses for why you let that persist.

Primary Night in America - Nevada

Bolt: "Welcome back as we wait for Douglas County to report its results. Douglas County is heavily reliant on tourism and it is indicative of the Republican vote in the Lake Tahoe area. If Gov. Nate Richardson wishes to win the State performing well in this county is imperative for him to win the state as a whole. If Gov. Richardson wants to win the State it is imperative that he runs up the margin in areas Douglas and neighboring Carson City as the initial reporting from Clark County has Sec. Porter performing extremely strong within the county"

Douglas County
Est. 74% Reporting
Gov. Nathaniel Richardson - 50.3%
Sec. Bernie Porter - 49.7%

Richardson wins by smaller than expected margin in the Lake Tahoe Area

"Sec. Porter has done significantly better in Lake Tahoe than experts in the region anticipated winning Senator Not-Cruz's 2016 voters to his side, while this is not enough to win Douglas County outright it does signal good things for Sec. Porter in the counties to come. While Gov. Richardson has performed in a slightly larger margin in Carson City, the margin of victory is smaller than the experts anticipated. Neighboring Lyon County is also preparing to report now. Sec. Porter is expected to do extremely well in Lyon County, but the margin is still up in the air."

Lyon County
Est. 85% Reporting
Sec. Bernie Porter - 65.7%
Gov. Nate Richardson - 34.3%

As Clark County prepares to report the rurals come in strong for Sec Bernie Porter

"As we get into ranching country Sec. Bernie Porter's message appears to have found a home in the hearts of rural Nevadans, and a similar trend can be found in nearby Nye County where Sec. Bernie Porter has really entrenched himself among the White Working Class Communities in the State of Nevada. In Nye County Sec. Bernie Porter has garnered 70% of the vote.

Nye County
Est. 91% Reporting
Sec. Bernie Porter - 70.1%
Gov. Nate Richardson - 29.9%

Sec. Bernie Porter wins big in Nye County winning more than 70 percent of the vote, as Clark County begins to report

"As Secretary Bernie Porter wins big in the rural counties, and Governor Richardson is hoping to ride his performance in Washoe, all eyes are on Clark as the County prepares to report. If Gov. Richardson can keep things even in the county, or within a point he would win the State. However, if Sec. Porter is able to win the County by anything larger than a point, Nevada will be his. The die has been cast, the arguments have been made, and now it is time to see which number the roulette lands on as Clark begins to report starting from its Las Vegas precincts."

Clark County
Est. 2% Reporting
Sec. Bernie Porter - 51.3%
Gov. Nate Richardson - 48.7%

Nevada Republican Caucus
Est. 34% Reporting
Gov. Nathaniel Richardson - 50.5%
Sec. Bernie Porter - 49.5%

What would @LeviMurphy have done about police violence? Abolish all cops? Defund their departments? It is one thing to talk big and sling mud; it is quite another to actually govern.

Primary Night in America - Nevada

Bolt: "Looking at the returns from Clark County. Secretary Porter has done extremely well across the board among the White Working-class that encompasses the Republican base in the State of Nevada. When zooming in further Gov. Richardson performed below expectations in every part of Clark County including Las Vegas where Porter edged out a 5 point victory. But Las Vegas is only a quarter of Clark County, and when we move into places like Henderson and the other White working-class exurban Republican communities, which are filled with non-college-educated Whites we have areas where Secretary Porter secures north of 60% of the vote. In the outskirts of Clark County Secretary Porter has gotten supermajorities among Republican caucusgoers similar to his margins in neighboring Nye County. Nevada proved that Sec. Porter's message has truly resonated with the Nevadan White Working Class. With Clark County finishing its reporting, CNN now believes it has enough information to make an official projection.

Clark County
Est. 92% Reporting
Sec. Bernie Porter - 58.6%
Gov. Nate Richardson - 41.4%

Nevada Republican Caucus
Est. 94% Reporting
Sec. Bernie Porter - 57.4% -14 delegates
Gov. Nathaniel Richardson - 42.6% - 11 delegates

Sec. Porter wins decisive victory in Nevada Caucus keeping presidential ambitions afloat

As predicted, Secretary Bernard Porter has had great success in Nevada. With a little over a 15% lead, Bernard Porter leaves the hot and arid deserts of Nevada a happy man. Can this momentum continue? I think that unless Governor Nate Richardson can convince rural dwellers that he is indeed on their side, then he will continue to have these losing moments around the rural areas of each state.

Press Conference, United States Capitol, Washington, DC
(February 17th, 2020)


The Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee was on a mission to expose the corruption of the Wolf and Tawney administrations. Naturally, doing so meant investigating the activities of the top law enforcement official- the Attorney General. With majority members of the House Judiciary Committee by his side, Ibrahim Simpson announced his plans to do just that.

“Hello ladies and gentlemen, members of the press and members of the public. As some of you may know, the Department of Justice under Attorney General Jones announced via the outlet ‘FOX News’ in December its intention to drop all but one charge against former Senator Luke Hawthorne in its investigation into a scandal which has been dubbed, ‘the Midwest Massacre.’ The Attorney General has provided neither the public nor members of the House of Representatives with justification for this act.

So, as of this morning, the House Judiciary Committee has approved a subpoena of Attorney General Jones and other associated parties, summoning said parties to sit before this body and provide testimony to its members regarding its intention to drop charges on Senator Hawthorne while maintaining charges for all other indicted parties. The purpose of this subpoena and subsequent set of hearings will be to determine if this action was in fact justified, or if it was carried out based on partisan interference into the legal process and miscarriage of justice on the part of Attorney General Jones and President Tawney. If the latter proves to be true, I intend to exercise my power as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee to create a Committee Task Force to investigate potential actions to ensure the fair and just enforcement of the law.”

Ibrahim took a sip of water, before finishing.

“Are there any questions from the press?”

[Bruke]

Tim leaned back in his chair and stroked his chin, half-nodding at Volek's words. The man certainly had a point––although he personally was backing this effort because of his strong support for consumer rights, it was unlikely that there would be broad agreement within the party about new standards (many Democrats, after all, were receiving fat checks from Big Tech), and any new regulations would definitely scare off more mainstream Republicans like the sitting President.

"Alright then, the language right now is nice and tight, just as I like it. I don't know if there's much else to edit. When would you like me to meet with Levi, and what exactly do you want us to discuss? Unless this is going to the top of the docket, is there a need to get started on this now?"

“Originally, I wanted to have the bill finalized and ready for a vote by April. However, if some recent tweets are to be believed, our Senate candidate in Ohio is open to joining a lawsuit by North Dakota to break up Google. Normally I wouldn’t put much stock in… Twitter pontificatin’... but Vichter’s our man in a key race and Burgun’s an icon among the so-called populist Republicans.”

Karel sipped some water before continuing.

“I’d like you to meet with Levi as soon as possible and discuss if there are other cases you can codify… I’ve only scratched the surface of all the case law that’s built up over the years, and I’m sure there are cases that pack more of a punch, if you get what I’m saying. The Speaker’s given her support… this is definitely going to the top of the docket.”

Despite recent controversy by Senate hopeful Hypolite Gaspard, any dreams of defeating the elder former senator turned representative are still off by a long shot. The Cajun icon continues to lead the pack in the state's blanket primary. His message appears to be resonating well among Louisiana's electorate, especially the almost half of voters who don't have a college degree by a sizeable 20 point lead.

The well-known politician is benefiting from widespread name recognition, especially in his former congressional district. His comments have alienated some die-hard Wolfists, helping boost some minor Republican challengers similar to Joseph Foney's own challenge to John Holland's gubernatorial bid. But it is not expected to sink his candidacy. And unlike then, the Democratic candidates are no Russell Long's and trail far behind in the primary. As of now, this race is Gaspard's to lose.

"Oh Eliza, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way." Jonah exhaled and shook his head, looking sullenly at the wooden floor of his home office. "After the election, you must make sure you take plenty of time for yourself over the next Christmas. Not just caring for your husband, but actual time ringfenced off for yourself.

"Atang's not leadership material. He's bad at building relationships, but I don't think he'd be able to cultivate the long term respect in the Senate you'd need to climb that ladder anyway. I might keep him in my back pocket in the House for something though..." She hummed a little, before nodding. "Tim's a good guy, and his heart's in the right place on foreign policy. He and I have had our spats but it's not like he's trying to do the wrong thing, I think it's just legitimately not his area. I think he'd be a solid choice."
