i'm getting more increasingly upset with the people who claim that anyone (even poc/people generally not even british, irish, scottish, etc) can practice celtic religions, indulge in the culture, and wear the clothes. they do it for the "aesthetic" and they cherry pick the things they like, like foods and clothing. not only this, but half of them don't learn the languages or know the history at all.
it's really simple to understand, if you can respect native americans when they tell you not to wear certain things or do certain things if you don't know the true meaning then why do you constantly disrespect native celts when they say no? i've seen people say because we're white it doesn't matter and i find that funny. culture isn't exclusively a poc thing, culture is music, food, practices, religion, language, clothing, and so much more. you need to respect all races and all ethnicities. and you can't use "well my ancestors were enslaved-". okay well please tell me how i am responsible for that? how every white person born, is responsible for that? "youre privelege!-" you mean the privelege that nobody has? true privelege is money, if you have it you can pay yourself out of jail even if you've actually killed someone. in america, people get paid depending on their jobs and its literally illegal to descriminate against any race in the work place. if you work at somewhere with low pay, that has nothing to do with a white person because theres a 99% chance other white people work there too. either way, two wrongs dont make a right especially when the white people you target dont even have history with slave masters.
so, on to the originaly topic, just.. stop. stop stealing things that dont belong to you. and for gods sake, dont try to make it okay by saying "the british museum" because thats the government, not the people. didn't we learn about this already? do you know how it feels for your government to go to wars with people even if you disagree on that? you learn the hard way you can't convince them what they're doing is bad because theyre so brainwashed. you can fight it, but you can't make a real impact unless you're willing to be called terrorist. oh and, also don't say "but you voted those people in!" because my answer will only be to you; you don't know how voting works. you can't just choose who's going to be the candidates, your best bet is to just find someone who's slightly less worse than the other but you can't be certain they're going to be the best of the best. obviously there's a need for a reform because of this but doing that would cause many people to die and literally nobody could ever be ready for that even if we know it's what has to be done. do you know how much damage riot police would cause? undercover cops? the fbi? a lot. so yeah, just respect native celts. and ps, no, a poc can't be a native celt. thats not how that works and us original native celts have never been black. if you're white with mixed ancestry like italian, spanish, german, or any nord you're an exception because during the invasion and colonization of old britannica the anglos and saxons, norwegian & swedish vikings, and romans invaded. spain is only an exception because of galicia and only if you're from that area.
Here's proof im celtic, by the way. This is after i downloaded my complete raw data from 23 & me and placed it into my true ancestry for results.

clones meeting atla characters???
lil different from my usual but yes! Rex-would probably sob tbh. theres even more of a chance of chaos when you have water, earth, fire, and air running loose WITH the 501st. He’d probably vibe with post war Zuko though! Echo- him and katara would hands down get along while facepalming at their idiot siblings. Echo will pass on the sea prunes though. Fives- he and Sokka? Two peas in a pod. bless these boys and their brains. Jesse- Even though he is an ass, Jesse would fully agree with and go along with Jet and his band of rebels against the fire nation, unless it involved hurting innocent lives of course. Kix- There is no war in Ba Sing Se, but there is some hot fashion! Kix wouldn’t mind spending the day browsing the shops Tup-Don’t mind him. He is snuggling Appa somewhere! Dogma- You know those water tribe council stuck ups? Yeah, dogma is cool enough to chill with them in the northern water tribe Hardcase- Listen. If you dont think this guy is chillin with King Bumi and eating rock candy you are wrong! Coric- He immediately joins the band of nomads singing secret tunnel across the land. coric makes the nicest flower crowns Bly-Aang and him get along well. it suprises him how chill a kid can be, and they like talking about life and what its like to be in love with someone who doesnt know. 99- Wait you mean he isnt already a member of the order of the white lotus? Cody- Always sips tea with uncle Iroh when Obi wan isnt available! Waxer and Boil- they like to take their time off on ember isand, avoiding the creepy twin ladies at ALL costs Wolffe- “how the hell did I end up in this swamp? and who the hell is this guy in nothing but a leaf???” Sinker and Boost- these boys get along rather well with Ty Lee! They always have a good time laughing and telling jokes Hunter- Mai and him like to throw sharp objects at one another Wrecker- look we all know this big guy would be wrapped around tophs little fingers. Tech- went missing in a desert library somewhere, we will find him later! Crosshair- Such an asshole that he even made the fire lord and azula cry. avatar who? just send crosshair before his morning cup of coffee

Chapter 19: Good Impressions (Loki x OFC Pairing)
I looked in the mirror and couldn't help but grin widely, baring my teeth even as a sense of giddiness filled me. It was very rarely I ever actually dressed up or even really did much to prepare for an upcoming battle beyond gathering power, planning and making sure I had all my war ducks in a row, this was extra but it was the good kind in my opinion.
"You know...I read that the Spartans, the fiercest ancient warriors our world had at one point, would pretty themselves up before battle and spies from enemy lines that caught them doing that would overestimate them. Apparently real men don't wear makeup into a war," I told Loki who walked up behind me, watching me check myself out. "Funny thing is in this country and probably a lot of other countries today have this thing called war paint which might not make them look fabulous like a Spartan but it might as well be makeup as it's primarily worn on their face."
"I remember the Spartans, Odin was impressed by their tactics and way of life, especially their stand against the Persians, the odds weren't in their favor and yet somehow they gave them hell before defeat," Loki recalled.
"Quality over quantity," I added. "Those people were literally born to be warriors, only the strong babies survived the first of many tests they were forced into." I combed a hand through my hair, considered messing it but decided against it. "I used to be more of a silk or velvet kinda girl but I gotta tell ya, I'm really digging the leather. It's fashionable, it's sexy even, and it's pretty decent armor, I mean it's no breastplate or Kevlar vest but those are a bit too obvious and that's the last thing we want right now." I took a few swaggering steps, glancing at my backside curiously to see how it all fit together.
"You're enjoying this entirely too much," he mused.
"I know it hasn't been that long since we met, but are you really surprised at this point?"
"No, not really. How long are you gonna fawn over yourself in the mirror before we actually put this plan into motion?"
"Relax, I got this. I just gotta get a few things down pat before we jump head first into this oncoming shit storm." I grinned again. "What's the hurry?"
He watched me, a glint of amusement in his eyes as he shook his head at my antics. "You got the smile right and I'm not sure how you were able to copy my walk so quickly but the humor needs to change if you insist on chattering before things get started."
"But...humor is why I'm still kicking," I protested. "And it's a far cry from your own, which mind you I'm glad you have any at all, some other gods can't seem to grasp that concept despite being eons old. Still, it's a lot more...eloquent than I'm used to."
"Then perhaps don't say anything at all."
"And leave you to do all the talking, hell to the no, spank you very much."
"What's wrong with me doing the talking for once?" he crossed his arms in challenge and arched an eyebrow, daring me to answer.
I gave the god an unapologetic and unamused look. "I'm not the only one that's been muzzled here, maybe your brother was onto something when he did it to you."
"How dare you? You take that back right now!"
"Or what? Whatcha gonna do, huh? Take your shot, green boy, you got me deadbang."
The sound of someone clearing their throat loudly interrupted our usual bickering match and we both turned to see a half amused half arachnid smirking at us with his unnaturally muscular arms crossed as well. "You know this is technically playing with yourself, right? I mean if that's the case, could you get a room that isn't the only bathroom in the apartment, please?"
"How long since this plan was in motion did you wanna use that joke?" I teased the kid.
Peter shrugged and pretended to look bashful but now that he too was throwing in dirty jokes, the facade of him being an innocent kid was now out the window. "You sure I can't tag along?"
"Kid, you got your own enemies to fight and this might be a bit above your skillset which means if you tag along theres much less chance of you coming back."
"But you could just bring me back yourself, right?"
I scowled at his optimism. "Doesn't work that way, I only bring back the ones that can't pass on on their own and want another chance at tying up loose ends, and you better not be one of those people, you're a kid, which goes against my personal code of bringing back zombie kids, that's just fucking depressing having an army of rotting midgets."
Peter sighed in despair and slumped his shoulders. "I never get to do anything fun."
I rolled my eyes at his whining. "I'd also be held responsible for letting you come with and I kinda don't want to be hunted down by a team of go getters and fancyass technology, no spank you. I already have Hydra for the latter. So do me a favor, sit your five dollar ass down, before I make change."
Peter scoffed at my implied threat but stopped bugging me, it might have been his plan that could get the odds in our favor but it sure as hell wasn't his fight and I had no intention of dragging another cute super powered person into my personal vendetta. "Aunt May says you can come back anytime, just give one of us a heads up next time...and maybe something that gets black bloodstains off any surface just in case."
I would've blanched if I wasn't pale already. "Oh no, did I ruin something, I can pay for that."
"No no, just, I think she thinks you'd only come here if you're in trouble like you were this time and she's worried you might miss a spot next time if that's the case, normal blood you can just use hydrogen peroxide, but I'm not too sure it works on corpse blood."
"Noted and tell her thanks for everything, same goes for you of course since you were the one to let us in before she agreed to it. And also not informing the A team, that's important...you didn't tell them right?"
"Not like they take me all that seriously or even answer my calls if I did," Peter muttered. "You're all good there, promise."
"Excellent! You stay sharp and cute, the second either of that fails, you're fucked."
"Thanks, I think."
"Right then." I turned to Loki with another smirk. "How's this for a first impression?" I asked in smooth sorta British sorta something else accent.
He scowled at me but couldn't complain it seemed. "I'm getting the sense you've been working on that before this came to pass."
"Anyone can do an Avenger impression, hell anyone can wear their costumes, right Peter? But I'm not about the hero life, so why waste time on them when I've been giving it all to you?"
Loki was silent at this and it was Peter that actually responded to me. "That was actually really sweet."
"You say that like it's a surprise, physically dead here, not emotionally dead, thank you. My heart hadn't reached that stage where it becomes calcified like a fetus that won't leave its womb."
"You always have the oddest choice of metaphors," muttered Loki. "So you have the walk, the voice, the smile even though I'm not sure that's even necessary at this point."
"When are you going to prepare for the plan then?" I challenged. "Go on, see how well you know your part."
"Don't you worry about my side of the plan, I've been doing this sort of thing for the sheer fun of it long before you decided to do it out of sheer boredom."
I snorted and rolled my eyes at him. "Yes, we're all very aware of your old age, you don't have to remind us like we have to remind you, old man."
"Ye of little faith," he mocked, earning a bar of soap flying at his face he was lucky enough to duck. "Your aim needs improvement."
"I'm sorry, did you actually want to be hit in the head by something solid and hard and not a pillow, because I missed on purpose, you cotton headed ninny-muggins."
"Seriously, is all you two do bicker at each other?" asked Peter.
"Well I mean you wouldn't let us have any real adult fun while we crashed here so we gotta get that pent up energy out somehow, right?" I reasoned.
"She's not wrong," Loki agreed.
"Besides, no one's getting hurt from it, I'm convinced this is our own special way of showing we love each other without being a bunch of saps. I'm 99 things but a sap ain't one."
"What's wrong with being affectionate?" asked Peter, almost sounding offended.
"That implies I have more emotions than I'm willing to admit to anyone including myself, I'm generally not ok with having that much feels." I grinned, slicked back my hair again before doing a little dance for funsies.
"I'd refrain from doing that little jig when the plan's in full swing," warned Loki though he was still smiling in amusement.
"Oh but I like this," I purred with the accent again.
The smirk on his own face twisted, like I said something that somehow offended him and all his ancestors and pissed him off or deeply upset him. "Don't make me take it away from you till right before the fight starts."
"Oh come on, maybe you just need to hug it out and join the fun, bring it in, big guy." I opened my arms wide for emphasis. "There's no better love than self love."
He rolled his eyes at my stellar pun and green magic rolled over him as he changed into character. "I bet you were just dying to make that joke."
I stared at him and it was my turn to glare. "Was that your attempt at a dead joke? Oh hun, you gotta do better than that to fit the bill."
"Don't patronize me, woman, I wasn't even trying then."
I walked over and patted his cheek just to mess with him. "Sure you weren't. Do me a favor and work on that but also turn around for me."
"Why?"
"Just...do it."
He did begrudgingly and I frowned upon studying his form thoroughly before he faced me again. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, you got it right, it's just...I didn't realize it looked like that and now I'm suddenly an insecure teenager. Peter, is this how you feel all the time because, dude, this really sucks and I feel for ya."
"You say that like you were never one yourself," Peter noted.
"I know I was but like, I don't remember what it was like then, I couldn't tell you what I was like as a teen."
"Why not?"
"No memory of it, at all."
"You mean like it was so long ago that you can't remember that far back or lots of stuff happened during it so fast that it's all a blur."
"I mean it's not even accessible, it's gone from my mind completely."
Peter frowned, probably trying to understand what I was getting at. "Amnesia?"
"Mindwipe."
"Like Bucky Barnes?"
"No, that's brainwashed...wait, those do sound synonymous, damn, hadn't even thought about that. Brainwashed is basically having your mind overridden and reprogrammed, there's memories there but they're not real ones. Mindwiped is just nothing there to reprogram at all."
"Did Hydra do that too?"
"No, Hydra can't touch this, something they need to have programmed in their heads for all the times they tried and failed any of their aims when they had me. I can't tell you the who, but I can tell you it was painless and done willingly and without regret."
"You chose to have memories taken from you?"
I nodded simply, unable to elaborate as per the deal.
Loki, knowing there was some things I couldn't talk about for reasons he wouldn't know until hopefully later, chose to cut in then. "I think that's enough curiosity for now, we should get going and finish the plan you concocted for us."
I smiled thankfully at Loki and nodded in agreement. "Yes, of course. Parker, if I don't make it back by tomorrow...just wait longer."
"Stop teasing the child, Nell, you could be really testing his patience with your antics and we wouldn't be welcomed back."
"You wouldn't, I would because I'm a delight to be around." I strutted after him anyway and he shook his head and beckoned me out of the bathroom and unfortunately out of the apartment.
"The Hydra agents and people that turned on you would say otherwise."
"The Hydra agents don't even know what joy is, the only time they're smiling is when they think they're about to take over the world and people are dying around them...the traitors are just pussies which means it doesn't take much to make em weep."
"Again with the metaphors."
"Maybe you should start taking some notes, eh? Give you a head start seeing as I'm all caught up on my end, unless you got something to add there?"
"Well you still haven't proven you can get the mannerisms right and mannerisms maketh men."
"But we are not men..."
"No, we're immortals."

The Scripture
➸ Rules, read before requesting.
This is a multi-fandom blog and there's a possibility that I might even start writing for even MORE fandoms. Each fandom has specific rules that I'm going to specify. If you plan on requesting a fandom from me, check the rules for the fandom.
General rules
No explicit nsfw, its not something I see myself being able to write any time soon. Suggestive stuff I'm chill with.
One character per one-shot request.
3-4 characters per headcanon request is the limit. The Haikyuu fandom is the only fandom that works around this, I'll specify how in the Haikyuu specific rules.
Please when you request do characters from the same fandom, if you don't I'm gonna do separate post for each fandom you requested for separately. It would be easier for me if you just sent in multiple asks with the same prompt just with the character's separated by show.
I wanna elaborate on that a little cause I feel like I explained it sorta badly. If you request "Dating HCs with Izuku, Katsuki, Kageyama and Tsukishima" I would make two separate posts, one for the haikyuu characters and one with the my hero characters. I would prefer if you sent in two different asks. "Dating HCs with Izuku and Katsuki" and then "Dating HCs with Kageyama and Tsukishima" I don't mind the spam.
If the character is below the age of 16 I only write platonic stuff with them (The my hero boys are 16)
I write all genres but I'm still trying to get the hang of angst.
I can do mini text SMAU's. I'm open for you sending in concepts for a SMAU series that I would ofc credit you for. I've been thinking about doing one for a while, but no ideas have hit me.
Please be specific with your requests, I need more than "Fluff with xxx" but like slightly more detail than that is the bare minimum.
I don't care if your request description runs long, I'll work with almost anything, slightly vague or really specific.
I'll take requests where the reader's appearance is the prompt.
I do POC!Readers as well, I enjoying being inclusive.
I'll write for, but won't romanticize mental illness/disorders in readers, like I said I like being inclusive, but keep in mind if I don't have that mental illness it'll take longer for the request to get done because I want to educate myself on it. If I feel like I won't be able to capture it well I may deny the request.
I'll do platonic and familial x readers, but DEFINITELY no incest
The only triggering/sensitive topics I won't do is s**cide and s*lf harm. But some topics I might feel uncomfortable doing, no hard feelings if I deny the request because of it.
I'll never do teacher x student.
I won't do character x character, or character x oc
But I love hearing about your OCs!!!! The only reason I won't write for them is because I don't think I'll have a good understanding of their character. But if theres a scenario you relate to your OC that I can manage to put into reader insert form I'll do it! I don't care how specific the scenario is!
I offer a shit ton of loopholes to combat me not doing character x oc stuff! And I encourage you to find some that I don't specify here in the rules.
I'll do song requests... If I like the song. I'm really not picky with my music, though (My playlist is 20+ hours long and the only way you can achieve that is with not being picky with music)
It's totally okay to ask for a prompt I've already done but with different characters.
I do emergency requests when I feel like I can get a piece done within a week. I can be a fast writer when I want to be.
School can and will hit me like a truck sometimes, if you're request ain't done fast I'm probably underneath a mountain of schoolwork, please have patience. If you rush me I might just delete your request.
Treat me with respect. Its the barest minimum.
I don't do matchups unless its some sort of special occasion.
I write for all genders but fem and GN the best, male isn't completely off the table, though.
I don't do yandere themes.
I don't do poly requests simply because I feel like I wouldn't be good at it.
I am very biased. There's a 90% chance that if you compliment me in your request I'll get it done quicker I'm not gonna lie to you.
I'm a really lenient person and if your request doesn't obviously go against these rules there's a 9/10 chance I'll do it.
My hero academia rules.
I write for almost all the characters except for Mineta and the extra boys in 1A that get like a line per season (Sero is NOT included when I say that, he is a king who I will write for). I don't write for Overhaul, Endeavor or any characters only introduced in the manga, either though.
I write for the girls and women of My Hero.
Quirk specific requests are a-ok (Another loophole around me not doing character x oc)
But when you do request something revolving around the reader's quirk please provide a thorough explanation of it.
I refuse to accept Katsuki's hero name as Dynamight so yeah we still call him ground zero on this blog 😐
I'll age the 1A boys up to the point where they're pro heroes if the prompt calls for it, but not for nasty reasons.
I know the my hero fandom is so much more than just toxic but it does exist, so please don't bring any stuff onto this blog, this isn't even a "request rule" per se. I'm never up to date with fandom drama like that and I'm not very interested in it 99% of the time.
I just want good vibes.
Haikyuu request rules
When I said that haikyuu didn't follow the 3-4 character rule limit, I meant that sometimes I do writing that includes the entire team.
Its usually short little headcanons, though. Nothing too full fledged and they might not even be reader inserts.
I write for almost all teams and characters that have been introduced thoroughly. The only characters that are pretty popular that I don't write for are: Makki, Ennoshita, Terushima, Hoshiumi, and Kinoshita.
All other characters are pretty much on the table.
I believe in pretty setter supremacy.
Although I don't read the manga, I know what all the Haikyuu boys' occupations are post-timeskip so feel free to request something pertaining to that.
I can't think of anything else so that's it for haikyuu specific rules.
Bungou Stray Dogs rules.
I'm trying to catch up on the manga, but as of right now I do not write manga-only characters.
I don't write for Fyodor, either but other than him I don't think I have a problem with any other characters. I don't enjoy writing for The Guild (with an exception being Poe) but they are still on the table
The only time I would feel comfortable writing about the triggering topics I said I wasn't gonna do is when it comes to Dazai, its his main personality trait so its unavoidable lmao.
I'll do requests that have the reader with a specific ability!! (One of the loopholes of me not writing for OCs)
But please provide a good explanation of the ability.

⋄ ^ there arent really a lot of religious posts on tumblr so dont worry i wont reblog anything that might annoy you/go against ur own beliefs gfnkhnfk
⋄ i dont really curse or like nsfw in the slightest so idk dont try to get me to do either?? idc if u curse but i dont like one-on-one talk about anything nsfw :// if u tag it youre fine

2/2 (forgot to put 1/2 in the first half ) and i kind of want this to be angsty but w a happy ending. idk why i can imagine wonho cradling a badly burned/injured shownu desperately holding back his tears as he heals him. (i've been watching war related movies im sorry) (also i hate angst because it hurts but im in an angsty mood so,,)
hi showhonon!!! firstable i hope u feel better soon D: !!! watch some mx or vines (those always cheer me up!!) or brooklyn 99 is a show i recommend to watch !! its really lighthearted and funny nd its serious but at the right times :D !!! feel better i love u !!!!
also sometimes i rly wonder if u can read my mind bc atla was such a big integral part of my childhood and i absolutely adore the atla universe ... its so,,, me: nuts bc of how deep and complex atla is..... icb u brought this to my inbox u are truly a Blessing :-( (also under the cut bc this got so long JKHFSJK)
neways !!!! i completely support this,,,, waterbender nd healer wonho,,,,, nd also thats a really interesting take for shownu :000 i did headcanon him as an earthbender but firebender,,,,, i feel like that would be a super interesting match ??? just bc he definitely doesnt look like someone who can manipulate fire but then its like whoosh ,,, kabam,,, he a firebender :0 (also!!! drawing back 2 that episode in atla where they talked abt how firebending could hurt but could also help ??? :0000... just a thought....) nd now im rly on team firebender!shownu KJHHJJS (buT ALSO !!! AIRBENDER..... THATS SMTH I CAN GET BEHIND TOO !!!)
also another idea :0 !!! mayb wonho is from the northern water tribe so mayb he could descend from royalty ,,, ? nd thus mayb not be Very Experienced w war / w being hurt but he is very familiar w healing nd shownu could b from the poorer side of the earth kingdom/the outskirts of the fire nation so hes familiar w fighting to survive... nd they meet by chance :0 ... nd wonho doesnt understand why shownu trains so brutally but he heals him anyway but the healing sessions are always tense nd upsetting bc wonho wants to say things but keeps quiet nd shownu doesnt want to upset the silence so he stays quiet too
then war comes around nd shownu’s gone for longer periods of time but he always comes back but worse than it was before . eventually they both relocate (out of safety) to one of the resistance camps nd stay there together nd wonho joins the medical team nd shownu’s part of the fighter team nd its just,,, one day theres a Rly Bad fight nd everyone that went off to fight that battle either comes back badly injured or dead and wonho is attending to everyone he can and looking for shownu amongst the people who returned but he cant find him at all so hes asking everyone like “have you seen shownu ???” but everyones either telling him they didnt or they saw him in the frontlines but that was it
out of desperation wonho leaves to find shownu himself nd he stumbles across a ruined town,,, like,,, Burnt 2 the foundations ruined and he looks in every hollowed out building until he comes across shownu slumped against a crumbling wall, cradling his stomach nd wonho immediately rushes to heal him but its Bad nd wonho is so desperate 2 do Something nd he just tells shownu he’s so stupid for being so reckless nd shownu’s literally Knocked out but wonho just keeps rambling as he passes water back and forth until theres nothing else he can do
some ppl banded together 2 look for survivors nd stumble across shownu nd wonho nd take them back to camp and wonho literally Never leaves shownu’s side as he heals up nd cant even find it in him to get mad when he wakes up but its okay because at least hes Awake ,,,,,

Complete Immersion
The era for virtual reality is today. There’s never before during the course of human history been a medium that provides such complete and total immersion, it is a feat that two dimensional website design simply can’t re-create, regardless of how amazing the design is or the degree of sophistication of the websites back end.
Captivating Website Design
We believe that a 2D website on it’s own is similar to an 8-Track tape, or a fax machine. It’s getting harder and harder to compete with just a static, brochure type of style website. How can you afford to stand still when you’re competing against companies that have immersive websites that consist of their own 3D worlds and cultures? If you do decide to become stagnate instead of moving forward, your going to give the competition the chance to build deeper relationships with your customers. You will be allowing your customers to interact with other products in new and interesting ways and risk that they end up trying a different solution instead of yours.
Virtual Reality Website Design

We create and develop virtual reality websites which work with your desktop computer, your phone, the HTC Vive, Google Cardboard, as well as the Oculus Rift to assist companies in creating compelling brand experiences which feature their services and products.

We’d love to assist you in creating something that’s noteworthy, something that your clients can connect with, as well as, help your products outshine your competitors.

For the low cost of 99 cents we can help you construct a universe of distance between you and your competition.
All Of The Net Is A Stage

As it is still relatively early days it seems that a lot of folks are unaware that your web browser can also be used a device to experience virtual reality. You don’t need to do anything unique, simply type in a URL as you ordinarily would. That is truly all you need to do to open a gateway to an entire web worth of new universes, new items, and new encounters. Build your website to become a destination in this newest iteration of the internet.

3: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 23, give me line 17.
-I don’t know where I put my books and technically the only book I have near me right now is two of my diaries which are strategically hidden in my room and that's a book, right? So anyways, “I think she was talking about me, I hope. I've been thinking about it with a smile on my face since.”
4: What do you think about most?
-college and everything i'm neglecting to do
5: What does your latest text message from someone else say?
-”Your glasses should be here in a day or two.”-dad
6: Do you sleep with or without clothes on?
Without. Just underwear. The less the better honestly 😉

Lol Nothing will prepare you for what I have to say... So every once in awhile but not very often something will happen to my eye and if I press the part by my tear duct next to the bridge of my nose it’ll make a squeaky sound. I think it’s linked to my allergies lol

One world? This is going to be an iconic mess and I can't wait to see how this turns out.
WILL
Will she decapitate me or will we work together: The Regan/Will love story begins all over again (for when these go public I have nothing against you Regan you're a queen in my eyes)

How quickly are you trying to kill me. First of all: I literally know 99% of these people and am playing in Athena with them right now, which makes my game in each more complicated. On my tribe: Me, Chris, Willow, Willa, and Austin The only person I don't know is Austin. I'm aligned with Willa in another game and was aligned with Chris in the same game. Willow and I were friendly in Solomon Islands. Hopefully this puts me in a good spot. Other than that, going through the rest of the cast on other tribes: Playing with in Athena right now: Adrian, Kai, Lily, Jaiden, and Nicholas. I'm in an alliance with all of them except Adrian (who might not like me after tonight). From Solomon: Zakriah, my literal child and snapchat streak buddy. He's also vv close with Willow, so this is good. Potential alliance? From Great Lakes: Kyle and Ashton. Idk Ashton AT all. We were never on a tribe together. Heard he's pretty good at orgs though. Kyle and I didn't super get along in GL. I voted him as first merge boot, he voted me, and I went home. I've also heard a lot about Regan and i'm excited to meet her. Basically I know/ have a relationship with half of the cast, so this should be INTERESTING. I'm excited.
JAKE
So the game hasn't even officially started yet and I formed a tight bond with Kyle and Lexi. I feel that we all relate to each other pretty well, so I like where this is going.
LEXI
Ok so i already have an alliance with ribsor and jake. I know jake from a mini we played together and we bonded right away. I also know regan,austin and jaiden from the other tribe. I have a good relationship with all 3 so that made me happy seeing them. I hope they can stay and fight until merge. Heck i hope i can stay and fight until merge. this is a small tribe so thats alittle scary. Also this one world crap aint working for me. I cant talk to that many people and keep up. I'm in another tumblr game and hosting a skype org...so its hard to keep up. But i try my hardest and im just glad i got in an alliance already.
WILL
I actually feel pretty good so far like I think I'm on the good side of mostly everyone on my tribe - two of them played with me before two of them don't know me - and I'm already sensing some tension between certain people so like... this will be a good one lol. Plus I have Nicholas on my side through one world and I've made some other lowkey connections so it's all going great for the first day
KAI
Been a pretty quiet day, no ones really spoken much so kinda worried but oh wwll
JOSH
OKAY. Hello. I'm here to confess and such for the round since I haven't just yet. I'm feeling pretty okay on my tribe so far? I know Regan from previous experiences and we're friends and I think that Jaiden knows he isn't super popular so he'll rely on me to kind of keep him safe? I"m talking with Will a lot and I enjoy him so I'm glad to have him here. The only person I'm not feeling really great about is Zakariah so far? I'm not sure how close he is with other people, so I have to wary about just throwing his name out. But, if I had to choose someone to be at the bottom of the totem pole on our tribe.. It'd be him. He's not super active. I can also see Jaiden being a bit of a flop and being first to die, so I'm just going to kind of figure out where people STAND here right now and figure it out later. Because I don't imagine us being on these tribes of five for too long, so I just need to make sure that I do my best to survive here while I still can. I'LL HAVE MORE THOUGHTS AFTER I TALK MORE STRATEGY BUT I NEED TO WORK ON IMPROVING MY SCORE
DANA
my new aesthetic in games is to just talk to the hosts in host chat instead of the players because i love them more. <3 Rob
WILLOW
I'm just gonna do a cast assessment rn bc why not Dana- Ahh we played in Solomon together and I love her, she's so sweet! Austin- We talked a lot last night and he's really nice, and has a good taste in survivor opinions Chips- Hasn't messaged me back yet and has only talked in the tribe chat twice Willa- Seems cool, but didn't talk to me for very long Also I'm confused about what happened during the "fight" in One World Also One World is too much at the beginning so I might just stick to talking to the people on my tribe first, and then once theres a swap I'll start talking to the other people idk.
ADRIAN
Whew El Salvador! Que tal chicos y chicas? Me llamo Adrian y yo soy no esperando nada mas por el juego para comenzar! Like this tribe a lot and really, I see 2 people from other games that are running side by side on my tribe, and really its cool to see that people are willing to work with me. But there is the downside of having people being inactive on the Apopa tribe, and really I'm not ready for shit like that to happen so quickly.
Of course it would be One World this season. I see alot of familiar names and faces and I'm already thrilled to start this game, until I see Regan. Is it possible to hate a bitch because of how negatively she rubs people upon meeting them? Wait, hold that thought. Yeah. Its very possible.
Its not even the end of Day 2, and already this bitch is asking for me to rip her head off. Like I don't give a flying fuck. Don't slander my name when you don't know me either. Fuck. Seriously, don't go preaching shit you won't practice. Regan's asking for a verbal beatdown, in English and in Spanish.
Keep it up Regan, and I will end you before you have a chance to be on a tribe with me. I am not someone to fuck around with and I don't care how many people would say that I should apologize to her. I guess I can't play more subtly now cause I just ended the living shit out of her. Oh btw, she can have her wig back. There's like pieces of scalp like attached to it.
(Note: Each paragraph was its own confessional)
DANA
My tribe is killing me with this challenge. Why did none of them start until like 7hrs before it is due when none of them know any Spanish and this challenge is semi-all about putting in time. Me right now: trying to make up for literally everyone's scores on my tribe. Quick assessment of my tribe? (Even though I knew everyone except Austin before we got here) Austin: Putting in a lot of effort to be friendly, which is good. Probably will want to work with him honestly but betraying someone I am already friendly with to do this will be hard. Chips: Isn't speaking to anybody. Why? Idk ur guess is as good as mine honestly. Willa: Honestly a fav. He better want to work with me here. Willow: My queen. My thoughts on one world? IT IS HYSTERICAL. Pls bring Regan back so she and Adrian can fight more and I can intervene with lighthearted comedy. Honestly I love problems and drama, sign me up pls.
LILY
Hi! So I don't know what I'm doing playing two games cause it ain't my style but I'm trying. So far I really like jake on my tribe because he is also a Michigander and that makes you awesome. I also like will a lot but he isn't on my tribe sooooo. Yeah. Also I suck at Spanish. So yeah.
AUSTIN
I know nobody on my tribe. So far I want to work with Willow and Dana!! Honestly I'll probably be the first boot but my goal is to make the tribe swap I guess. I know Lexi ribbons and Jake I hope I play with them :)
WILLA
Dana is a lesbian? oh cool
JAIDEN
I have nothing to tell the world about my experience... yet.
MICHEAL
Dana is a lesbian which is not a suprise i mean have you seen her profile pic anyway in the game i made no connections i know what a great way to start the game but tonight i plan on making them
NICHOLAS
KAI
WOOO! WE WOOONNNN! That's pretty awesome!

RICHIE
who am i if i dont start off the game with my first confessional saying "i hate this fucking tribe!!!!!!!!" i've been out doing things for the last 3 days so i havent gotten a chance to do anything or really talk to anyone but i just played the duolingo immunity challenge before i went to sleep and when i was on the bus and train going to my friends lmao i didnt realize that i was the only one who was actually putting effort into it and thats sad because i really didnt play much but i guess the rest of my tribe is just full of flops!!! ashton i played with before we didnt talk much and we voted for eachother but i like them hope we can talk kai i talked to a little but like..... that needs to be worked on michael is the biggest flop ive ever met they are perfect first boot material if i leave before them i'm never playing another game and nicolas seems cool thats it! uneventful first week my social game is weak nothing happened not much to report but whew

How Many Republicans Caucused In Iowa
Republican Party Of Iowa
This article does not contain the most recently published data on this subject. If you would like to help our coverage grow, consider to Ballotpedia.
Republican Party of Iowa
The Republican Party of Iowa is the political party affiliate of the national Republican Party. The group is headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa.
Iowa Republicans Back Trump In Caucuses Batting Away Two Gop Challengers
Regardless of an incumbent president from their party, Republicans still came out to show their support at the Iowa Caucuses on Monday night.
DES MOINES President Trump handily warded off two GOP challengers in Mondays Republican caucuses after Iowa Republicans turned out to pledge their support for the impeached president.
The Iowa Republican Party announced at 9:38 p.m. Monday that the party broke caucus turnout record set in similar caucus years when there was an incumbent president. With 94 percent reporting at 10:46 p.m., Trump had won all of the partys 37 delegates with 99 percent of caucusgoers support. The other two candidates former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld and former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh did not have enough supporters to be viable at any precinct.
Des Moines resident Gary Propstein, 61, arrived at Perkins Elementary Schools library 45 minutes early and waited for the Republican caucus to start. He wore a Keep America Great hat and proudly voiced his support for Trump.
The Democrats just dont want to accept that he won the election, even though there was nothing wrong, Propstein said of the impeachment. Trumps impeachment trial regarding his alledged abuse of power and obstruction of Congress will come to a vote on Wednesday. Trumps an outsider and just proving theres corruption.
He said his support for Trump is based on more than party politics. Propstein said he supports Trump because hes not a traditional politician.
Ryan Adams
Meet Trumps Gop Opposition
Suffice it to say, neither Walsh nor Weld has much chance against Trump. Walsh has already announced that he will not be on the ballot in his home state of Illinois, citing a lack of resources and the need to focus on Iowa and New Hampshire. Ive contacted Weld and Walsh for comment and will update if and when I hear back.
Part of it is that we have to convince a lot of the Republican donors that there is a viable option and theyre going to want to see results before they put money into our organization, a spokesperson told the Chicago Sun-Times. And while Weld has polled well in New Hampshire, his numbers are far outmatched by Trumps.
But victory isnt necessarily the point of either mans long-shot bid for the White House. Rather, their campaigns are intended as signals to Trump-skeptical Republicans that theyre not alone in their opposition to the president.
For Weld, his focus is on restoring normalcy to the Republican Party as a real Republican. When I with the former governor back in August and asked him about Trumps considerable popularity with the GOP, he told me, Im not willing to concede your premise. I will concede that Im a normal Republican, and the implication of that is that Mr. Trump is a Republican in name only.
He believes Republican voters are looking for fiscal conservatism and a small-government ethos from a presidential candidate willing to stand up for the taxpayer.
Weld has a lengthy political history, as I detailed last year:
Relationship With The Press
Throughout his career, Trump has sought media attention, with a “lovehate” relationship with the press. Trump began promoting himself in the press in the 1970s. Fox News anchor and former House speaker have characterized Trump as a “” who makes controversial statements to see people’s “heads explode.”
In the 2016 campaign, Trump benefited from a record amount of free media coverage, elevating his standing in the Republican primaries.New York Times writer wrote in 2018 that Trump’s media dominance, which enthralls the public and creates “can’t miss” reality television-type coverage, was politically beneficial for him.
As a candidate and as president, Trump frequently accused the press of bias, calling it the “fake news media” and “the .” In 2018, journalist recounted Trump’s saying he intentionally demeaned and discredited the media “so when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you.”
As president, Trump deployed the legal system to intimidate the press. In early 2020, the Trump campaign sued The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN for alleged defamation in opinion pieces about Russian election interference. Legal experts said that the lawsuits lacked merit and were not likely to succeed. By March 2021, the lawsuits against The New York Times and CNN had been dismissed.
Once The Voting Is Over Its Time To Translate Those Results Into Delegates
Delegates, after all, are the point of presidential primaries and caucuses. Its delegates, not the sheer number of votes, that political parties count to determine who will be their nominee.
After the alignments, the viable candidates will be allocated whats called State Delegate Equivalents, according to their performance at that site.
These delegates, through a process involving Democratic Party math and the state convention, will eventually correlate to the number of national delegates a candidate gets at the national conventions.
The Iowa Democratic Party doesnt declare a winner, but historically the person with the most SDEs has been considered the winner. However, with the first- and second-round results being reported out this year, its conceivable candidates could have more opportunities to spin the results in their favor.
Registered Republican voters show up at their caucus site, hear some speeches and vote for their preferred candidate. The votes are counted and the delegates are elected to the county convention based on the proportion of support a candidate receives.
Despite several state Republican parties canceling their 2020 primaries because an incumbent is running for reelection, Iowa Republicans will hold their caucus on Feb. 3.
As Iowa Goes So Goes What Past Losers Still Won The Gop Nomination

Ken Rudin
The next sounds you hear will be Iowa Republicans rendering their judgment for 2012. The road to the magic number of 1,145 delegates needed to clinch the GOP nomination begins Tuesday. The caucuses, all 1,774 of them, start at 7 pm Central time , and results may start to trickle in within the hour.
Here’s a look at the field, presented in order of their standing in the final Des Moines Register poll, which was released Saturday night:
Rick Santorum : If any candidate goes into Tuesday’s caucuses with momentum, according to the Des Moines Register poll, it’s Santorum. Until now, he had been the only candidate not to experience a day in the sun as a “frontrunner.” In fact, few were even talking about him. But his dogged determination in organizing in all 99 counties seems to have paid off, at least in the Register and CNN polls. If the evangelical vote coalesces around him he did get the backing of Bob Vander Plaats, a big deal with pro-family groups Santorum could be a factor. And even if it is only third place, that’s still much better than anyone could have imagined just a short time ago. But a strong finish on Tuesday needs to be followed by strong finishes elsewhere, in states where he has not put in the time and effort he has in Iowa, and he is hampered by a lack of organization and money.
History. Here’s a look at the results of contested GOP caucuses since 1980
1980:
Iowa winner George H.W. Bush
1979 straw poll winner Bush
1988:
1996:
How Many People Turn Out For The Caucuses
For a long time, that was a surprisingly difficult question to answer. Until recently, the parties didnt report attendance figures, only state delegate equivalents, using complex formulas to translate the caucus-night results into state convention delegates. Individual precincts didnt always keep close counts of how many people caucused, or if anyone left early. Add in that 17-year-olds can caucus if theyll turn 18 by Election Day, and the difficulties in reliably calculating turnout become clear.
In 2016, 186,874 Iowans participated in the Republican caucus and 171,109 participated in the Democratic caucus, both held on Feb. 1. On that date, according to the Iowa secretary of states office, there were 586,835 active registered Democratic voters and 615,763 active Republican registered voters. That works out to 30.3% of eligible Republicans and 29.2% of eligible Democrats participating in the caucuses, or 18.5% of the states total 1,937,317 active registered voters.
As of Jan. 2, 2020, according to the secretary of states office, there were 2,017,205 active register voters in Iowa. 614,519 were registered Democrats, 639,969 were registered Republicans, and the rest were independents or members of other parties.
Iowa Caucuses: Nine Unusual Things About Them
On Monday evening, tens of thousands of Democrats in Iowa will brave the cold and gather in schools, churches, gyms and libraries to decide on their favourite presidential candidates.
It’s the first stop in the race for the Democratic nomination – but it’s not a traditional vote as you know it.
Most US elections involve filling in a ballot paper in private. But in Iowa’s caucuses, Democrats will gather in noisy rooms, stand in different zones to show which candidate they support – and try to convince others to switch sides.
Here’s what’s unusual about one of the first key contests for Democrats who want to take on Donald Trump.
A Disappointment: Iowa Caucus Turnout Below Expectations
DES MOINES, Iowa Iowa Democrats are recovering from a number of disappointments after Mondays Iowa caucuses, though one has received less attention than the others.
About 176,000 Iowans attended their precinct caucuses, a slight uptick from 2016 but fewer than expected.
The number is certain to rattle Democrats who are banking on high turnout in battlegrounds across the country to win in November. And it raises doubts about whether Iowa is winnable by Democrats, after a recent shift toward Republicans.
The number was perhaps most disappointing to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose strategy in the primary and the general election hinges on bringing out young and infrequent voters. Asked about the turnout at a debate Friday night, Sanders acknowledged it was off the mark.
Thats a disappointment and I think all of us probably could have done a better job of bringing out our supporters, he said.
The parade of candidates, a Democratic base seething to unseat President Donald Trump and high participation in 2018 midterms had party insiders braced for a turnout could match or top the contests high-water mark.
But Monday came nowhere near the 2008 caucuses, when roughly 238,000 Iowans participated in the kickoff clash among Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, onetime Iowa favorite John Edwards and a handful of others. The 2020 caucuses did draw 5,000 more than 2016, when Clinton very narrowly beat Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, but went on to lose to Donald Trump.
Civil War And Reconstruction
American settlers began to establish cotton in north Florida, which required numerous laborers, which they supplied by buying slaves in the domestic market. By 1860, Florida had only 140,424 people, of whom 44% were enslaved. There were fewer than 1,000 free before the American Civil War.
On January 10, 1861, nearly all delegates in the Florida Legislature approved an ordinance of secession, declaring Florida to be “a sovereign and independent nation”an apparent reassertion to the preamble in Florida’s Constitution of 1838, in which Florida agreed with Congress to be a “Free and Independent State.” The ordinance declared Florida’s secession from the , allowing it to become one of the founding members of the .
The Confederacy received little military help from Florida; the 15,000 troops it offered were generally sent elsewhere. Instead of troops and manufactured goods, Florida did provide salt and, more importantly, beef to feed the Confederate armies. This was particularly important after 1864, when the Confederacy lost control of the Mississippi River, thereby losing access to Texas beef. The largest engagements in the state were the , on February 20, 1864, and the , on March 6, 1865. Both were Confederate victories. The war ended in 1865.
Iowa Caucuses: Steve Kornacki Explains How They Work
Another change: Only members of nonviable groups will be allowed to realign. In the past, candidates who had initially hit 15 percent could lose supporters in the realignment. But for this cycle, the initial 15 percent support gets locked in.
Unlike the Democrats, Republicans select their candidate via a simple secret ballot. There is no shuffling from one corner of the caucus site to the other. There is no 15 percent viability or realignment. And there’s no mathematical formula to determine delegates awarded at each caucus site.
With President Donald Trump receiving nominal GOP opposition, however, the Republican process in Iowa isn’t as important to follow this presidential cycle.
State Political Party Revenue
See also: State political party revenue and State political party revenue per capita
The Democratic Party and the Republican Party maintain state affiliates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and select U.S. territories. The following maps display total state political party revenue per capita for the and state party affiliates from 2011 to 2016. The blue map displays Democratic state parties and the red map displays Republican state parties. Click on a state below to view the state party’s revenue per capita totals:
Total and state political party revenue per capita in the United States, 2011-2016
How Are Delegates Awarded
For candidates who make the 15% viability cut, 2,107 state delegate equivalents will be awarded proportionally by precinct on caucus night. Then, the party holds a series of conventions that eventually lead to the election and proportional allocation of the states 41 pledged national delegates who will head to the Democratic National Convention.
To win the nomination, a Democrat needs the backing of a majority of the 3,979 pledged national delegates at stake at the convention.
Why Does Iowa Vote First
Caucuses have been features of Iowa politics since the 19th century, but, as one historian wrote, they attracted no national attention before 1972: Generally, caucus attendance was poor, and often a handful of party regulars were the only persons present.
That changed after the national Democratic Party revamped its nominating process in the wake of its chaotic 1968 convention. As a consequence of those changes, the Iowa party moved its precinct caucuses which typically had been held in late March or early April to Jan. 24, somewhat inadvertently making them the first step on the long road to the national convention. In 1972, George McGovern campaigned in Iowa to raise his profile ahead of the New Hampshire primary; even though McGovern came in third in Iowa, he ultimately won the nomination. In 1976, the Republican and Democratic parties agreed to hold their caucuses on the same day, and both attracted substantial attention from candidates and the media. Since then, the state has zealously defended its first-in-the-nation status.
But this status has not come without opposition. Among registered voters who identify as Democrats or as independents who lean toward the Democratic Party, 26% say its a bad thing that Iowas caucuses go before other states, versus 9% who say its a good thing, according to a new Pew Research Center report. Opposition was strongest among liberals and those who said theyve thought a lot about the candidates.
Iowa Republican Presidential Caucuses
Jump to navigationJump to search
The 2020 Iowa Republican presidential caucuses took place on Monday, February 3, 2020, as the first caucus or primary in the Republican Party presidential primaries for the 2020 presidential election. The Iowa caucuses are a closed caucus, with Iowa awarding 40 pledged delegates to the Republican National Convention, allocated on the basis of the results of the caucuses. Incumbent president Donald Trump received about 97 percent of the vote to clinch 39 delegates, while Bill Weld received enough votes to clinch 1 delegate.
Iowa Caucuses Turnout: Entrance Poll Shows Dip In First
Daniel Arkin
Iowa’s presidential caucuses were expected to draw record turnout Monday, but early data from the NBC News entrance poll show a big dip in participants attending a Democratic caucus for the first time.
The entrance poll showed just about a third of voters 35 percent caucusing this year are first-timers, a lower level than in 2016, when first-timers made up 44 percent of the Hawkeye State’s Democratic caucusgoers.
And this year’s level of new participants is well shy of that in 2008, when a whopping 57 percent of Democrats said they had never caucused before.
In a statement addressing a delay in results, the Iowa Democratic Party said that early data indicate turnout could eventually match that of 2016.
“What we know right now is that around 25 percent of precincts have reported, and early data indicates turnout is on pace for 2016,” IDP communications director Mandy McClure said.
How Many Other States And Territories Use Caucuses
Not as many as used to. This year, besides Iowa, only two other states and four U.S. territories will pick their Democratic convention delegates through caucuses, 11 fewer states than in 2016. In 2018, the national Democratic Party adopted a package of changes to its nominating process, including a rule encouraging state parties to use government-run primaries whenever possible.
Caucuses have been on the decline for a long time. On the Democratic side in 1972, 33 states and territories used them to pick convention delegates, and, as late as 1984, 32 still did. By 2016, however, only 14 states and four territories were still using them.
The 2024 Iowa Caucus Campaign Has Already Begun
Trump’s preeminence in the Republican Party isn’t stopping would-be successors from campaigning and recruiting supporters in Iowa.
06/28/2021 04:30 AM EDT
Link Copied
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa Former President Donald Trump would be the overwhelming frontrunner for the Republican Partys nomination should he wage a 2024 comeback bid. But thats not stopping his would-be GOP successors from barreling into Iowa.
Only months after Trumps election defeat, Republicans are laying the groundwork for the all-important, first-in-the-nation presidential caucuses. Potential candidates are hopscotching across the state to fundraise, campaign for midterm hopefuls and appear at traditional party dinners that mark the start of caucus season.
And behind the scenes, Republicans are making overtures to influential activists, meeting with party leaders and hiring operatives with deep experience in Iowa, which is still expected to be the first 2024 contest for Republicans even though Democrats are grappling with whether to change their nominating calendar.
The burst of early activity which is set to accelerate over the summer months illustrates how Republicans are maneuvering with an eye toward succeeding Trump. A Trump bid would likely extinguish their hopes of becoming the partys nominee, and at least one candidate has said they won’t run if if Trump does. But would-be contenders are wasting no time preparing for the possibility of an open nominating contest.

Trump Easily Wins Iowa Republican Caucuses
Trump will talk about economy, immigration, trade at SOTU: Dan Henninger
The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page deputy editor and Fox News contributor Dan Henninger says President Trump ‘will rise above’ discussing the Democrats’ impeachment efforts during his State of the Union address on Tuesday.
President Trump easily defeated his primary rivals in Mondays Iowa Republican caucuses, in the first indication that those attempting to take on the president inside his own party stand a slim chance of making headway against the incumbent.
Iowa results showed the president winning with roughly 97 percent of the vote over former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld and former Illinois congressman Joe Walsh. The primary challengers walked away with about 1 percent each.
2020 PRIMER: HOW THE IOWA CAUCUSES WORK
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel congratulated the president, vowing he’ll carry the state in November.
While the focus has been on the Democratic contest Monday, Iowa Republicans also caucused at precincts throughout the state.
The president has record support among Republican voters, Republican National Committee spokesman Rick Gorka told Fox News on Monday. I am not concerned with those embarked on a vanity project.
When asked how long he would stay in the Republican primary race after his defeat Monday night, Walsh campaign spokesman Charles Siler told Fox News on Monday that the former congressman “is keeping every option open.”
Statehood And Indian Removal
Defense of Florida’s northern border with the United States was minor during the second Spanish period. The region became a haven for escaped slaves and a base for Indian attacks against U.S. territories, and the U.S. pressed Spain for reform.
Americans of and began moving into northern Florida from the backwoods of and . Though technically not allowed by the Spanish authorities and the Floridan government, they were never able to effectively police the border region and the backwoods settlers from the United States would continue to immigrate into Florida unchecked. These migrants, mixing with the already present British settlers who had remained in Florida since the British period, would be the progenitors of the population known as .
These American settlers established a permanent foothold in the area and ignored Spanish authorities. The British settlers who had remained also resented Spanish rule, leading to a rebellion in 1810 and the establishment for ninety days of the so-called Free and Independent Republic of on September 23. After meetings beginning in June, rebels overcame the garrison at , and unfurled the flag of the new republic: a single white star on a blue field. This flag would later become known as the “”.
Some Seminoles remained, and the U.S. Army arrived in Florida, leading to the . Following the war, approximately 3,000 Seminole and 800 Black Seminole were removed to . A few hundred Seminole remained in Florida in the .
What Exactly Are The Iowa Caucuses
The Iowa caucuses are essentially neighborhood meetings of those political parties which were able to garner a set amount of votes in the previous general election.
Caucuses are not elections. They are run by the state parties and not state government. They are the mechanism through which individuals show their support for a candidate, and tell the parties what issues matter to them.
Every two years, the two major political parties hold these caucus meetings to discuss their platform and upcoming events. But every four years, during the presidential elections, the caucuses are also used to determine who the parties presidential nominee should be.
Since Iowa is the first state in the nation to hold a caucus or primary, during Februaries of presidential election years, all eyes are in Iowa to see who the early leaders will be in the presidential race.
The caucus system, rightly, has come under criticism in recent years. Other states, like New Hampshire, hold primaries where people simply cast a vote to conduct similar party business. Unlike casting a vote, which you can do in minutes over a period of a day, the caucuses require people to be physically present for a few hours. That makes participation difficult for people who can’t get or afford child care, people living with disabilities or mobility issues, people who lack transportation, and people who work evenings.
Caucus Turnout: Robust Record
Iowas 2016 caucus attendance was a doozy.
Republicans counted more than 180,000 caucusgoers, topping their 2012 attendance record of 121,503 by an estimated 60,000 people.
And while Democratic numbers werent completely tallied at the time of this publication, all indications pointed to a robust performance, although not likely to top the roughly 240,000 total who showed up in 2008 to vote for a Democratic rock-star field led by Barack Obama, John Edwards and Hillary Clinton.
The turnouts shunned conventional wisdom that high participation would equate to a Donald Trump victory, said Kedron Bardwell, the chairman of the political science department at Simpson College.
Its not what people were expecting in terms of what would happen if we had an increased turnout, Bardwell said. This is a dynamic kind of effect. If people anticipate that Trump is going to win, it also motivates the people that want anybody but Trump.
Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann said he is “very, very proud of my fellow citizens” for the record turnout.
“If there was ever a doubt that the people of Iowa believe in grassroots democracy, I think tonight that doubt is completely erased, Kaufmann said.
Some caucusgoers reported delays due to crowds.
At least one Democratic voter precinct at Iowa State University initially ran out of voter registration papers, according to a report from Betsy Woodruff, a reporter for The Daily Beast. At other sites, caucusgoers .
