    My mother was #8 of 9 children in rural southern Mississippi. She was the only one to graduate from high school. She worked from high school until one of the attorneys at the law firm she worked at asked if she would consider going to law school. She went to night law school after working all day. She passed each class and finally the bar exam the first time in 1964. My mother worked in the private sector and eventually took a position with the Veterans Administration in adjudication. She worked tirelessly for 34.5 years HELPING veterans get the benefits they earned serving our country!!! She’s earned her eternal reward now, but I am ever so proud of my Mama!

      Trump is a child only God can love ❤️ lol 😂 hahaha 😆 hahaha he is "special " not everyone likes him 😄 lol
      What trump has is he is relatable he comes from tons of money but he fits like people commoners which is crazy...
      It's like he wasn't raised with money almost... I think it was Candace who said this too he is relatable 😂
      He is special... when I seen his interviews I knew I liked him... everyone has wrongs but trump you overlook them cause he has so much capacity everywhere else that is just like wow.
      Biden is poor parents kid... you see the difference between poor people and rich people... Trump can still go on another 20 years it's the way the rich are groomed and taken care of they think different while the poor struggle with their kids to make it.
      Look at Hunter... I guarantee you he is carrying pain inside ❤ his mind is shattered ... but you see trumps kids and they're outstanding producers nothing shattered in them.

      What people don't realize is
      We cannot control what is thrown at us or with what relentfulness it comes there's no mercy at times you rely on someone else's hand to ease the burdens and get help sometimes it never comes or arrives very late
      However... what I wish I had learned sooner way sooner is this....
      NEVER SURRENDER ❤
      Meaning when you feel like you're broken 💔 instead of giving up and saying okay I can't do it
      That's when you need to FIGHT HARDER because you're about to LEVEL UPwards and it SPIRALS it compounds ❤
      And that spiral directly AFFECTS EVERYONE around you... massive shock waves

      Most people think I'm breaking down now.... give up .. catch a break to rest but that's when you GO ALL IN...
      I think building systems of habit.... and REMOVING people and things from you can alleviate that
      You can't give in ... ❤ every time I gave in to rest to catch a break it was worse...

      @@bhazerelli7611 Well, it's nothing about him personally. It's that his book and the movie from it gives a lot of the wrong messages. It makes everything about personal failing, and completely ignored systems that contribute to poverty in rural areas. The kind of capitalism that we have in the US has done a huge number in the rural areas of the country, and led to people leaving in droves. It is his personal story and that's fine, but some people are taking a message from it that doesn't make sense. Also, he could have helped his mother in a better way (from what happened in the movie). She's having a drug issue, and anyone going through that is going to have some struggles getting past it.

      Joseph Ramirez did you grow up with a drug addict mom? Trying to help them is not easy, and it isn’t the child’s responsibility. After years of going through that, you get tired of it. It is mentally draining. I don’t blame him at all for what he did. He got out of a bad environment, and made a better life for himself. Something that is very hard to do because drug addict parents manipulate you into feeling guilty for them, and leaving them is extremely difficult. It isn’t just a black and white situation

Hard to believe a kid with a background like mine, both of us sitting in police cars while our addict moms got hauled away, might be VP is just mind blowing. Whatever your politics we have to admit and appreciate that our country gives kids like him, and me, a way up in life if we really, really want it and work hard. For me it was a fantastic college prep public school in Cincinnati that introduced me to the more articulate stable side of life. I live abroad now and miss Ohio every day, my kitchen walls are plastered with family photos from Middletown and KY so my half Swedish half American kids know their hillbilly legacy, good and bad.

    I almost broke down listening to J.D. talk about his life, all he endured and how far he’s come. I can relate to his childhood; different, and yet I can relate to the pain and struggles he had to overcome. Only mine was because of my Dad! I admire him for the journey he had to overcome to become the man he is today!! I know his childhood could have taken him on an entirely different path, but God instilled in him a desire to be an inspiration to others that they could also make it through the difficult times of their childhood and come out a better person instead of a victim with no hope of ever knowing a life without fear and pain!! I understand the tears because even though you have moved on and made a better life for yourself; the memories will always be there in the shadows of your mind. I know this beyond any doubt. Jesus Christ is the only Way to live life in its fullest sense. Our Precious Lord only wants the best for His children. That doesn’t mean a life without obstacles. It means that Jesus will never leave or forsake those who trust in Him. With Jesus living within you, there will always be a way through your most difficult moments in life. He will also lead His Children in paths that will facilitate the very best life possible and, when your time here is done, He will bring you Home to Heaven to be with Him throughout all Eternity. Lord Jesus Bless and Keep you all. Sister Patricia. ✝️🙏🙌🕊💓

    7/15/24, J. D. Vance now VP Nominee! I really knew nothing of the young man until searching articles & watching videos. I'm older by decades, but I can relate to his younger life, raised poor, family disfunction, military, a feeling of being out of place and different in college/university. I'm so happy to see someone like this man earn the chance to be considered for such a high position of leadership in this nation. May God Bless him and the United States of America!

    Great interview with JD Vance: about truth, not embarrassed by his past (although still feels pain from it) because he's worked through all of the baggage, we all have baggage & some people have more than others, he knows how to be sincere and speak for many people who are forgotten in the USA. He also knows how to remain being true to those he loved/loves. What a smart man !

      Trouble is, he's a lying grifter. The hillbilly who NEVER lived in Appalachia. He grew up in the steel town of Middleport Ohio. His grandparents left Appalachia when they were very young, his mother, a thrice-married drug addict, never lived there, he NEVER lived there. He portrays himself as the hero who pulled himself up by his bootstraps while all the rest of his ne'r-do-well family, friends and associates were lazy drunks, wife beaters and brawlers who loved their squalor, comparing them (in his words) to typical Appalachian residents. He became semi-famous by writing a book based on lies and stereotypes.

Not his region but that's not the only opiate inflicted region in the US where there's simply a born understanding of your place in society and you don't dwell on it much. Not dwelling is part of the problem.

      I lived through an alcoholic era where my dad was always drinking and had other addictions as well, stems from his childhood as he was abused as a child from having to work as hard as a grown man in the fields and no way out, making moonshine to sell to have food to eat, very poverty stricken, non-ending , he died working hard and still in his alcoholism cycles. I miss my dad, he tried so hard but couldn’t seem to escape. We need to do better for our children and grandchildren.😢

I love the way he still shown that regardless of what we endure within our family at the end of the day they’re still our family. JD Vance story is inspirational. One can overcome surmountable odds, and triumph regardless of what they came from with determination.

And, when I listened to him speak, he seemed to be the most genuine and authentic leader that I had ever heard from on the political side. There were no pretentious body language or long word salads - Wishing him and Usha the best!
