"The United States has never postponed or cancelled a federal election—midterm or presidential—due to war. Elections continued as scheduled through major conflicts, including the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. The U.S. Constitution and federal statutes mandate the timing of these elections, which no president has the authority to change."
Basic historical and constitutional facts worth knowing and sharing.

A little goodness for your Friday morning. ☀️💕

History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!
