Horses were not indigenous to the Western Hemisphere.

They were brought to the Western Hemisphere by the Spanish, and were subsequently adopted and used by many Native American tribes.

The people of OH-HD19 would be so very fortunate to have Mary Lightbody represent them

in the Ohio House of Representatives.
Looking at the map of Ohio House Representatives, I believe her district is in the Franklin County part of OH-12, which came out so strongly for Democrat Danny O'Connor for Congress. O'Connor is running again for the same Congressional seat in Nov., which should increase Mary Lightbody's chances.

Good luck to a most worthy candidate.

I count myself among those who are Christian and Democrat.

Each belief strengthens the other for me, though I fall short of perfection in both.
Even in Christ's lifetime, his closest friends fell short of the Christian ideal.
We fail, then get back up and get back on track.

I too change channels each time Trump is shown speaking. I think MSNBC and CNN

need to know that their regular viewers are not hanging around for this unpleasant stuff.

If his policies have to be discussed by third parties, I can get enough of what's happening governmentally and politically to keep informed.
But seeing and hearing that personage (45) is tawdry and not something I want in my presence.

I feel pretty much the same for Sarah Sanders. - Who needs that in their life?
Not me.

Miami University in Oxford, Ohio was founded in 1809, when the land that is now Florida

belonged to Spain.
Miami University is named after the Miami Indians, who inhabited the area.
Two rivers in SW Ohio are named the Great Miami and the Little Miami rivers.

I have read that Miami, Fl and institutions named after that city are named for the Mayaimi tribe.
