Trees need water

Trees – especially young trees – need watering any time it doesn’t rain an inch in a week. Yard and boulevard trees need at least an inch of water every week all through the summer-fall season. Watering is especially important for the

The ‘last voice in the room’ Wilson’s successor as president, Warren Harding, had unconventional views about the importance of the role of the vice president. He thought that “the vice president should be more than a mere substitute in waiting,” and he wished for his vice president, Calvin Coolidge, “to be a helpful part” of his administration. Coolidge later became the first vice president in history to attend Cabinet meetings on a regular basis.

The Park Board plants boulevard trees, relying on residents to water them. An effective way to died, likely of a heart attack, and Coolidge succeeded him as president. “My experience in the Cabinet,” Coolidge later recalled, “was of supreme value to me when I became President.”

After Harding and Coolidge, many later presidents reverted back to the tradition of keeping vice presidents an arm’s length away, even on key matters. Franklin D. Roosevelt, for instance, kept the atomic bomb a secret from Vice President Harry S. Truman, who didn’t find out about it until Roosevelt’s death.

Watering in the evening works best because the water evaporates less, and trees tend to take in most of their water during the night. during the campaign, reporters asked then-President Dwight D. Eisenhower: “Can you think of a major contribution that Nixon has made to your administration?” Eisenhower replied: “Well, if you give me a week I might think of one.” Nixon lost that election.

In 1976, Jimmy Carter picked Sen. Walter Mondale as his running mate. In a memo sent to Carter after winning the election, Mondale argued that “[t]he biggest single problem of our recent administrations has been the failure of the President to be exposed to independent analysis not conditioned by what it is thought he wants to hear or often what others want him to hear.” government: the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, the Under Secretaries of the Army and Air Force, the Assistant Secretary actively collaborates with Black-owned food businesses like local chefs to cook at their community events.

Driving for Change Through Entrepreneurship

Healthy trees are an important part commitment: “Upon inviting the community for shared decision-making, we pledged to reshape systems for racial and health equality. Today, these child protection grants are a testament to child protection policy to our dedication, fueling community-led projects to meet demands and innovate.”

Ryan T. O’Connor, County Manager, further emphasized the TST Grants’ role as a blueprint for other community projects. The lessons from this endeavor will influence future investments and community collaborations in Ramsey County.

Among the grant recipients, prominent community nonprofits received Innovation Grants ranging from $50,000 to $100,000. Some notable awardees include:

● Alia and YMCA were both awarded $100,000

Mondale’s vision for the role of vice president was “to offer impartial advice” so that Carter wouldn’t be “shielded from points of view that [he] should hear.” Carter agreed and subsequently made Mondale an integral part of his inner circle. Biden served 36 years in the Senate before leaving to become Barack Obama’s vice president. When he agreed to be Obama’s running mate, Biden said he wanted to be the “last man in the room” whenever important decisions were being made so he could give Obama his unfiltered opinion. When Biden picked Harris as his running mate, he said he “asked Kamala to be the last voice in the room,” to “[c]hallenge [his] for Homeland Defense and Hemispheric Affairs, Commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command and United States Northern

An ally in an increasingly divided Senate

Under the rules of the U.S. Senate, if just one lawmaker doesn’t want a bill to advance, they can attempt to delay its passage indefinitely via the filibuster. A supermajority of three-fifths of the senators, or 60 of the 100, is required to stop the filibuster – or signal that one would not succeed – and proceed to a vote.

Over the years, the Senate has made various proceduralchanges to the filibuster, limiting when it can be used.

The end result of these

They now own a Ford F-150®, helping reforms is that the Senate is now empowered to do more with just a simple majority. In addition, in recent years, the Senate has become increasingly divided. Together, this has created the conditions that have empowered Harris to cast so many tiebreaking votes so quickly, solidifying both her place in history and her place alongside Biden in the 2024 election.

From 3 seek the death penalty against Markeith Loyd, a Black man accused of killing his pregnant girlfriend and Orlando Police Lt. Debra Clayton in 2017. Ayala was the first Black person elected prosecutor in Florida’s long (and mostly segregated) history, but she ultimately lost her legal challenges to Scott’s removal of her cases when the Florida Supreme Court, in a 5-2 decision, sided with the governor.

Earlier this year, DeSantis removed Tampa State Attorney Andrew Warren, a Democrat, because the twice elected prosecutor indicated that his office would not pursue abortion related charges in the wake of Florida’s draconian anti-abortion laws that were passed not long after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade via the Dobbs decision last summer.

Since announcing his presidential bid earlier this year, Gov. DeSantis has deliberately chosen to stake his Oval Office ambitions on being farther to the right of even Donald Trump on “culture war” issues. To be clear, that means that DeSantis is seeking to “out-bigot” Trump, arguably the most outwardly bigoted president that America has had since Woodrow Wilson a little over a century ago! Whether it has been Desantis’ ill advised and unwinnable war against the Disney Corporation—Florida’s most prominent private employer—for its refusal to back down on criticizing his homophobic agenda, or his doubling down on refusing to teach real Black historical facts, strives to help community members appreciate the value of volunteering by allowing them to have a hands-on therapeutic and inspiring experience. Their aim is to remind others that when you plant a seed… a plant will grow when given the time, consistency, and care. A concept in which their organization was founded on from taking their idea (a seed) and now harvesting what they’ve produced in the last decade through consistency and care. Like Peace Tree Parks, Ford believes in the power of Black businesses. Learn more about their organization at peacetreeparks.org.

DeSantis, trailing Trump by nearly 40 percentage points, is too tone deaf to hear that even among Republican Primary voters, the majority DO NOT CARE about his “anti-woke” agenda. As Donald Trump, of all people, pointed out several weeks ago, DeSantis “can’t even define woke”—and is making a fool out of himself as his campaign has struck ice and is going down faster than the Titanic!

Thinking himself clever, DeSantis tapped Orange County Judge Andrew Bain, a former star football player at the University of Miami and graduate of the Florida A&M University College of Law, as Worrell’s replacement.

What you must know is that Judge Bain is a member of the Federalist Society, a hard core conservative group that has backed recent Supreme Court judicial nominees Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett, among others. Meaning, Judge Bain is cut from the same ideological cloth as DeSantis, a fact that now allows the governor to say, “see, how can I be called a racist if I appointed a Black replacement prosecutor?” But the simple reality is that State Attorney Worrell, elected with better than 67% of the vote, has been replaced with someone who will do the governor’s ideological bidding!

Over two decades ago, I served as an assistant state attorney in Tallahassee and I can attest that one of the best aspects of the job was the ability to use my own judgment in determining just outcomes in thousands of cases. Because of that, I cannot imagine the frustration that State Attorneys Worrell, Warren, and Ayala must have felt in knowing that a sitting governor, playing politics, was there lurking and waiting to usurp their authority.

Similarly, as one who tried countless murder cases across Florida after I left the State Attorney’s office, including multiple capital murder cases where the death penalty was sought, I can attest that the principal purpose of the death penalty, which is to deter future murders and murderers, simply DOES NOT work; even a cursory glance at the local news each night shows that folks are being killed every single day in cities and towns across Florida. Thus, who can blame elected state attorneys for seeking ways to address crime in Florida as the old ways surely have not lessened crime rates one bit? Now, if you are wondering “what can be done,” I remind my readers now, as I always do during election season, to get out and VOTE! Yes, presidential and gubernatorial races are important, but local prosecutor races are critically important, too! If you do not know the name of your local district, state, or state’s attorney, find out who they are and if you’re living in a red state with a blue prosecutor in your district or circuit, be prepared to write letters to the federal or state level appellate courts in support of the person you helped elect should they find themselves compromised by some ambitious (if not mischievous) Republican governor.
