Today someone stood up and held their ground for what is right and just. Today Judge Emmit G. Sullivan communicated his disgust with the actions of General Flynn and he basically said today isn’t the day! ”You sold your country out!” It was evident that he wasn’t levying light sentences for the crimes committed by the General regardless of what the Special Council suggest. Instead, he stated that Flynn and his lawyers need to go back and give the gift that keeps on giving - the truth.
I wonder what else will come to bear in NC. It’s unfortunate that we can only make national headlines because of the ugliness of folks who care for no one but themselves. Steal, cheat and lie by any means necessary as long as you win or benefit. Again, we must hold this behavior accountable. Throw the book at them! #wontstopcantstop
Stepping out to lead and to want better for all is considered a noble cause. Sometimes the road can be a difficult journey but resolute in knowing that you tried to make the world a better place. RIP President George H. W. Bush.
Thank you to all of our veterans who embody strength and bravery serving here and abroad. We honor your service not just today but everyday! Happy Veterans Day.
Keep an eye on @DDAdamsCongress. This one is personal. She’s my city councilwoman and is challenging an entrenched incumbent for Congress. A win for DD is a bellwether for a change. #vote2018
