Fulton will formally announce her candidacy Monday for a seat for the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners, her campaign manager, Willis Howard, said Sunday. "My time as a public servant began 30 years ago at Miami-Dade County.

Gilbert III is also running to fill the seat, CNN affiliate WSVN reported. Fulton, a Miami-Dade County native who lives in Miami Gardens, was not available for an interview Sunday, according to Howard.

Fixing Social Security Is Easy (If You're Not Running For Office)The failure and insolvency of the Social Security system seems inevitable if elected officials won’t take steps to prevent it. But there are easy ways to fix the system before it goes under completely. Idiots, fix it , its easy. Increasing premiums with age stupid, raising retirement age is stupid. Rep. Larson, Vermont has a bill, right now, increases SS tax by 1% and increases income to 400,000 something, congress vote on it. Should off had a SS tax on capital gains also. You're right. You've got a point. That's the prblem with so much of this stuff.

Rep. Cicilline: We shouldn’t impeach for political reasons, but we shouldn’t refuse to impeach for political reasonsRep. David Cicilline (D-RI), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, tells Kasie Hunt he’s not ready to call for impeachment proceedings yet, but that Congress can’t refuse to move forward on impeachment solely for political reasons. So Mueller and 12 Trump hating, Democrat donating investigators spent 2 years, interviewed over 500 people and collected over 1.5 MILLION documents and the WORST they could say was that they couldn't prove or disprove that Trump obstructed a crime that never happened. Based on the opinion of over 800 former prosecutors, politics is the only reason not to move forward with impeachment proceedings. Finally... the bozo admits the dems have nothing..
