Casha: How Will \”Follow The Leader Mikie” Vote On Impeachment

December 13, 2019

Kinnelon, NJ- Larry Casha candidate for the 11th Congressional District released the following

statement:

How will “Follow the Leader Mikie” vote on Impeachment?

“The impeachment proceedings of President Trump have been under the microscope since day

one, questioned, attacked and defended by many pundits and talking heads. Speaker Pelosi

attacked the President with much fervor, charging him over the past several weeks with bribery.

All the while, Representative Mikie Sherrill followed the Speaker’s lead.”

“Now, the case for impeaching the President is for having abused his power and obstructed a

congressional investigation into his conduct in Ukraine. Wait…Where did the "bribery" charge go?

Why were Pelosi and Sherrill so convinced that it was a clear case of bribery yet now,

bribery is nowhere to be found? The answer is that the word “bribery” tests well in the “swing”

states. However, bribery is, and always was, a false charge. In her campaign just last year,

Representative Sherrill repeatedly said “FACTS MATTER” !!! So why didn’t facts matter when

accusing the President of the United States of bribery? Will the facts matter to Representative

Sherrill when she is presented with the opportunity to vote on impeachment or will she just

follow the leader?

“The false bribery charge is just one more example of “Follow the Leader Mikie”. She said in

the 2018 campaign that she would & bring new leadership to Washington. Well, it looks like the same old Nancy Pelosi politics to me.”

If the five youngest children of Theresa and Peter McGlade had their way, it is likely that new Pitt women\’s basketball coach Agnus Berenato would have been a world-class swimmer. Or, perhaps, one of the finest swimming coaches in the country.

\”All five of us voted for a swimming pool in our back yard, but dad cast the only vote that counted and he put in a basketball hoop instead,\” said Berenato\’s youngest sister, Theresa McGlade. \”So I guess that\’s how we got started playing basketball.

Tips to Make the Most of Your Small House

(Gloucestercitynews.net)(Dec. 14, 2019)–Not everyone is lucky to have a huge and spacious house. Considering the cost of real estate these days, you\’re already lucky even to own a house. Despite having a small place, you can still make it look great. After decorating your

place, you will be proud to call it home.

Invest in multi-purpose furniture

You can find furniture that you can use for a variety of purposes. For instance, furniture that\’s useful as a sofa in the morning, but a bed at night. You can also have a mirror which converts to a flat-screen television when reversed. The good thing is that you can have everything you need despite having limited space.

Opt for a minimalistic approach

You can change the way you view home decoration. Instead of buying as many items as you can, you could reduce them. A minimalist approach allows your space to look more spacious and creates an illusion of comfort.

Use blinds instead of curtains

When using blinds, you can create a seamless connection between your house and the outdoor space. It feels like the world is your home. Curtains are restricting and will make your room look even smaller. Apart from using blinds, you also have to invest in a large mirror. It tricks you into thinking that there\’s more depth in your home when it\’s only the reflection of one side.

Always keep it

organized

You can\’t afford to have a messy home when it\’s already small, to begin with. The place will look even more cramped. Each time you take something out, you need to return it properly. For instance, if you read a book, you have to return it to the shelf once you finish.

Invest in built-in furniture

Sometimes, it’s difficult to find furniture that fits your needs. The available choices don’t always fit. You might end up choosing the best option, but it’s not perfect. The best alternative is built-in furniture like a

fitted wardrobe UK

specialists design and install. If you have one, you will find it easy to customize the design to match your space, preference and budget. You can also determine the specific area where the furniture will be suitable. You might have to spend a bit more for fitted furniture, but it looks amazing. It’s also practical.

Keep it simple

You might feel inspired to follow the design ideas you see in magazines. The problem is that you don\’t have the luxury of such space. You have to settle for the small area you have. Despite that, you can still make your home amazing. You just need to be smart in determining the perfect design. Keep it simple but stunning.

Start by listing everything you want to see in your house and what you need to have. From there, you can decide what else you need to purchase. If you can afford to move to a bigger house in the future or opt for remodelling, it would also be an excellent idea.
