I'm 67, retired and just came out of a 2 month coma. I'm willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING to risk against the evil regime, largely because I'm old, totally alone and need to love somebody, so I'm going to love all of you. (IT is reserved for the DJT Thing)

JUST IN: It appears Democrats will win the mayor's office in Miami.
This would be a flip from GOP.
It's not final yet, but Democrat Eileen Higgins is up 61% to 39% as the first 23K ballots are counted. That's *the majority of votes cast*, & Election Day is no less Democratic today.
More soon!

TRUMP: “I said why is it we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia— places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting.”
