Coffee and Conversation: The Bruch Johnson Memorial Run was a success
Journal Standard
On March 27, the Stephenson County Farm Bureau hosted their annual Bruce Johnson Memorial Farm to Farm 5K/10K Run.
The morning started off with rain, wind and a chill in the air. But that did not stop our volunteers from cheerily setting up for the event and preparing the best we could and adjusting where needed with the rain. We were fortunate to have a great turnout for pre-registration runners, and even some extra day-of registrations for people who braved the elements. This year our event had more than 180 registrations, with some participating virtually and others in-person, making it our largest event to date. Our event raises money for the Conversation and Agriculture Partners Foundation. This organization provides Ag in the Classroom programs and resources to classrooms and teachers in Stephenson County. This event would not be possible without the many businesses who supported our caus
his plea deal. in the meantime, jerome corsi an associate of trump ally roger stone has ceased cooperating with mueller and now claimed that mueller bus trips pressured him to live. he has asked his legal team to bring apart all micro criminal complete against mueller and the justice department. that s a very interesting wrinkle. lisa: advocates consistent with the michael phone situation, as well, according to the fbi said, believe that michael flynn had did not lie. as soon as robert mueller took over, he pled guilty to lying. that raises questions to me, in the tactics of mueller regarding any sort of pardon for manafort i think it would be the wrong decision to make. clearly, manafort has violated the law and has done so for quite some time. i question why the fbi never relayed that information to president trump, considering that they sat down with him, i
whether he s confident or not is always going to run like the underdog. he has said that all along, he s basically said you can t take anything for granted and i think he s running a very, very strong, hard race right now. he s doing two or three events a day. beto has been traveling through texas for a long time now, ted cruz has a bus tour. he s not running like he feels overconfident. a poll will show him ahead five, six, nine points. abbey livingston, if 10 years ago, i don t think we would have expected an incumbent senator to be doing bus trips across the state in october. i don t think it was ten years ago, i think it was two years ago. i think donald trump has just reset the politics of the state of texas just like everywhere else. we saw the rural vote come out in 2016, and in 2016 in texas, we saw the citiy ies come out a
continuing to receive extraordinary ratings from among republicans. one other note about the texas politics. there s three key house races in texas too that i don t think people should forget about. one part of trump going to texas and also cruz making these bus trips, it s also to kind of generate enthusiasm for those down ticket house races that will be very important if republicans have any chance of keeping the majority. matthew, it s as if you work for us and you decide to tee up the next and final questions for my texas panel here. thank you. that brings me to the other reason i came to dallas and why we picked dallas. we were going to do houston or dallas. that is the down the ballot effect here. in the dallas suburbs, how real is the threat to pete sessions? if a lot of people go out and vote for represent o rourke go
weapons, putting money into the impact of gun violence research behind that. those are things that are universally backed that would be so effective in reducing many, many shootings. i have to say i get so frustrated people say we should harden schools. here s my question, here s my retort to that. how do we harden recess? how do we harden dismissal time? how do we harden bus trips? tougher question. how do we harden summer? places like right here in chicago where we see violence is way too high, we can t do that. we have to do something practical about guns, about the easy availability of guns. the united states has 4% of the population and 42% of guns. the level of violence, the left of heart break, the level of tragedy is directly proportional to the universal access to gnun to anyone who wants them. are there school safety measures you would support or urge democrats to support? for instance proposals about fewer entrances, other basic
