This low-tech but highly entertaining video presents what appears to be Ellie Dixon's most popular song. I went looking for cover versions of "Green Grass" by Gary Lewis and the Playboys: - a terrifically overlooked song whose writers, using the stage name, David and Jonathan, had a big hit with the Beatles song, "Michelle." The Gary Lewis record remains tremendously overlooked but at least I found this great Ellie Dixon video. Dixon shows more than a little acting ability.

This week, at the Democratic National Convention, the speeches of #Michelle #Obama and the Second Gentleman #Doug #Emhoff (and maybe #Lil #Jon’s, if you want to call that a speech) stood out.
But there was one speech, in particular, that struck me: The sermon-like words of Sen. #Raphael #Warnock (D-Ga.).
Warnock has served as senior pastor at Atlanta’s historic #Ebenezer #Baptist #Church for nearly 20 years.
His election on January 5, 2021 was one of two pivotal, and highly covered, Senate races in Georgia.
That made him a national figure, of sorts. But not exactly a household name. If you don’t know Warnock well, it’s worth remembering he is a pastor who invokes his Christianity as a foundation of his politics.
️He clearly brings that power to the secular pulpit in his speech on the first night of the DNC, telling of the need to heal a nation that has long been broken.
#Michelle #Obama might have done a bit of call-and-response.
But it is hard to imagine anyone else pulling off calling Donald Trump a “#plague,” as Warnock does, with such heft.

Despite the fact that Kamala Harris has become the party’s presumptive nominee,
officially gaining enough support to snag the nomination next month,
the Trump team was still unwilling to move forward with the next debate while Harris lacked support from one specific person.
“There is a strong sense by many in the ️Democrat party
️
—namely Barack Hussein Obama
—that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud
who cannot beat
President Trump,
and they are still holding out for someone ‘better,’”
said Cheung.
Harris responded in a post on X by resharing a report about Trump backing out of the debates.
“What happened to ‘any time, any place’?” she wrote.
But Trump’s scheme to sidestep debating his new opponent fell flat by Friday morning,
when Harris shared a video of her speaking to Obama and his wife, #Michelle, on the phone.
“We called to say Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and to do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office,”
said the former president.
Harris thanked them both for their friendship and their support, and promised,
️“We’re going to have some fun with this too, aren’t we?”

#Finnish #professor #MarkoMaunula believes that #Biden will hand over his candidacy to younger people in a near future.
Sure @potus ego has taken a turn from the whole, as he has done a great job and still want to fight for making things even better.
An interesting couple to run would be #Kamala #Harris and #Michelle #Obama but for sure we won't see this happen
If #Biden would step down as the #Democrats presidential candidate, would we see #Kamala2024 or would it even be #Obama2024
#Michelle would be a strong candidate and I would think she has a good chance against the #fascist #DiaperDon but she has earlier said that she don't want it.
75% of the Democrats seems to think she would be the best option forward while 25% thinks Biden should continue.
It seems that she would at this point beat #tinyhands with 11%-units.
