I write middle grade & young adult historical fiction drawing upon growing up in the UK with an Irish mother and English father then immigrating to the USA.

President Biden loves his son, Hunter, dearly.

You could hear it clearly in the message he left for his son while he was in the terrible grips of addiction. “It’s Dad. I called to tell you I love you. I love you more than the whole world, pal. You gotta get some help. I know you don’t know what to do. I don’t either.”

As a Dad, I know he had to be hurting, powerless to help his son climb out of that dark hole.

As a Dad, I know if has to be painful for him to bear with the millions of people clamoring to maliciously smear his son, who is still on the road to recovery from addiction.

As a Dad, I know that it had to be difficult to step aside and allow the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel to investigate his son.

Because you know what? If it were one of MY sons, I don't know that I'd have the intestinal fortitude to do that. ME PERSONALLY. But then again, I'm not the President, nor do I have any desire to be.

But that had to be hard as hell, knowing that it will give the right wing yet another talking point about his son, regardless of how empty and desperate the GOP's smear tactics may seem. You want to protect your kids from that, if it's in your power.

I know Donald Trump wouldn't do that... shit, Ivanka had those 18 Chinese trademarks approved because of her Dad. Did he approve an investigation into that? Hell no.

What about his son-in-law, Jared Kushner? Jared wasn't qualified for a job in the White House, couldn't even correctly complete a security clearance form, and yet Trump put him in there so he could soak up all of those million and billion dollar deals. Investigate him? Hell no.

Come to think of it, the ONLY person Trump approved an investigation into was... HUNTER BIDEN. And what did President Biden do when he took office? Did he defund the investigation? Did he try to derail it?

No. He allowed it to run its course.

So I'm a little pissed that Hunter Biden is being investigated. Talk about weaponization of government? It's been weaponized against him, to hurt his Dad.

But I am confident that, when the investigation is done, if Hunter is guilty, he will pay the consequences.

But it will NOT change my decision to vote to re-elect President Biden, who is a good Dad, a kind human being, and one of the best Presidents we have had in a long time.

Sometimes you just have to sit down and write. No matter what words come out. When you do, it can definitely surprise you and be great, even though you didn't really feel like writing in the first place. Often when I get started writing, my outlook changes. #amwriting #Writing

Speaker Nancy Pelosi will go down as one of most accomplished legislators in American history—breaking barriers, opening doors for others, and working every day to serve the American people. I couldn’t be more grateful for her friendship and leadership.

trump hated President Obama SO MUCH, he threw away the pandemic playbook and response team that could've made him a HERO.

Instead, 160,000 deaths make him a ZERO.

@carolyn_from @mmpadellan @kaitlancollins I thought this was a great point! They send federal goons in to stop Moms and Vets peacefully protesting in Portland but do nothing about armed white supremists trying to take over the Michigan state building! WTH!

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, I got the chance to talk to the next generation of activists and advocates in the disability rights movement––they're continuing the work of the activists in @CripCampFilm and I couldn't be prouder of them.

@BarackObama Mail-in voting has been around since the Civil War. Trump votes by mail as do many of his family members and his administration. The only problem Trump has with mail-in voting is that it means more people will actually vote.

Sorry you've had to go through this unacceptable treatment.

[Caroline Ann Winkler @CAWinklerWrites]

@aishacs @REI Awful! I hope you get a chance if you feel comfortable to let management know how unacceptable that was/share name of store?
