Jimmy and Rosalyn wedding picture

Such a cute couple

Jimmy Carter is a happy man. Want to know why?

Because he devoted his life to working for the benefit of others. Whether he was monitoring elections in foreign countries or building houses for Habitat for Humanity, his motivation was always to add value and work for the benefit and happiness of others.

He could have worked to amass a vast fortune lobbying for Wall St or some defense contractor. But no, he didn't need to become a billionaire. He had his farm, his wife, his Sunday School gig, and his work living up to his aspiration to follow the teachings of Jesus -- love your enemies, do unto others, welcome the stranger, feed, cloth, and house the disadvantaged. Basically work for the benefit and happiness of others. This also explains why TFG is not a happy man.


Here's a pic of a happy Jimmy Carter, working for the benefit of others.

I turn the sound OFF during the Republican nomination speeches

I can't listen to their lies, cheap shots, and pretending to be virtuous and speak for the American people.

If the RWers think gov stinks now, just wait to when the ReThugs crash the economy, no social security checks for Mom and Dad, and people lose their jobs.

Here's a thought ---

So much easier to just buy a big gavel, take a picture of himself holding it, frame and hang the picture on the wall.

What time is the vote for Speaker?

I assume it will be carried on CSPAN.
