Again Addison saying who could do the work for her if she took a break, and the answer should have been Naomi, her stepping up for a couple weeks, Violet or Cooper could take Betsy!!! But also she should not be in the truck alone, and you know who would have absolutely gone with her - Pete!!!! (I'm not saying in a shippy way, just facts that this is the type of thing he would support)

Violet Turner does not deserve Pete or Sheldon, I'm sorry. I can't stand her.

Eric Hananoki at MMFA:

While serving as chair of the Michigan Republican Party, Pete Hoekstra has also been working for the anti-Muslim Gatestone Institute, which has posted commentaries suggesting that Muslims are incompatible with the West, declaring “Islam is a Problem,” and claiming Europe may be facing “Great White Death” because of Muslim immigrants. Hoekstra himself has used his Gatestone Institute position to praise Geert Wilders, a far-right Dutch politician and leading anti-Muslim figure. The Michigan GOP chair also wrote that he has “often met” with Wilders, who he claimed is devoted to “religious tolerance.” (Wilders has claimed, among other things, that “Islam is not a religion”). 

Hoekstra is a former member of Congress and Trump administration ambassador who was elected the Michigan GOP chair earlier this year after a bizarre power struggle ousted far-right commentator Kristina Karamo. (Karamo has her own history of anti-Muslim remarks.) He has been a distinguished senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute since at least 2022. He has written dozens of pieces for the organization since 2021 and has continued to write for Gatestone since he assumed the Michigan GOP chair.  Observers have documented the Gatestone Institute’s anti-Muslim rhetoric. Reporter Heidi Przybyla wrote an April 2018 piece for NBC News that noted the institute “has promoted misleading and false anti-Muslim news.” The piece quoted then-Brookings Institution fellow Alina Polyakova, who “said Gatestone is ‘putting out content that was clearly anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim and was echoing some of the Russian disinformation propaganda’ being spread by internet trolls and on social media.” Przybyla added that “Gatestone has been a significant promoter of the disputed notion that ‘no-go zones’ exist in the heart of major cities where Muslims rule by Shariah law.” 

Newly-appointed Michigan GOP Chair Pete Hoekstra continues to work for the Islamophobic Gatestone Institute in which he praised right-wing anti-Islam Dutch politician Geert Wilders.

“Pete, if you do anything to hurt Violet, I promise you I’ll make you live to regret it. She’s my best friend and she’s been with enough assholes, alright? If you can’t treat her the way she deserves then stay away from her.” Perhaps Cooper was being a tad overprotective, but he didn’t want to see Violet get hurt by yet another man; particularly one they worked closely with every day. // @drpxtewilder

Harry had been thinking about the hospital he had worked at a while ago. He had been asked about going back there. At the same time, he was also asked about working at a hospital in California. Now he had a choice to make. At Holby City ED, there had been the whole thing about him going to the media about something that had gone on in the department with one of the doctors and the big bosses were trying to hide the truth. He wanted the truth to be out for the sake of that doctor and he resigned from his job there before they could fire him for doing what he did. Now those big bosses no longer worked there and he had been asked to come back as well. Then there was this hospital in California.

He decided on the hospital in California. At least for now. So himself and his youngest moved out to the USA. He found a house and a school for his youngest daughter. His two older daughters, Tally and Kizzy had moved out and leading their own lives, his sons Jordan and Ollie were in uni so they had recently moved out and his youngest daughter, Daisy was 7 years old and at school in the day, and looked after by the childminder if he was working. It seemed odd going from a house full to just himself and Daisy now. Parking his car, he looked up at St Ambrose Hospital. He soon headed inside.
