President Joe Biden stated that he would give the eulogy at the burial when former President Jimmy Carter entered hospice care more than a year ago. Following the announcement of Carter's passing on Sunday, it's unclear if Biden's plans have changed. A couple months after Biden assumed office in 2021, Biden and first lady Jill Biden paid Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, a visit at their Plains home. "I spent time with Jimmy Carter and it’s finally caught up with him, but they found a way to keep him going for a lot longer than they anticipated because they found a breakthrough," Biden said. Biden also remarked, "He asked me to do his eulogy," but he stopped himself. "Pardon me, that shouldn't be said." Biden’s presidency represents a turnabout, of sorts, for Carter’s political standing. He was the first senator from the United States to support Carter's 1976 presidential campaign, defying the Washington elite after Carter, a former governor of Georgia, startled them by gaining the Democratic nomination. Details Of The Funeral According to some Carter family members, the former president will be buried in Plains and given a private funeral in addition to a state funeral in Washington, D.C. The Joint Task Force-National Capital Region is currently working on finalizing the event details. With a declaration from the current president, the Nobel Peace Prize recipient and former Commander-in-Chief will be given a full state burial, a ceremonial national homage. Speaking during the state funerals of their predecessors, both current and former presidents frequently cross partisan boundaries.

This release was published on openPR.TAMPA, Fla. — Not all that long ago, Pam Bondi still walked the dour hallways of Hillsborough County’s Courthouse Annex and stood before Tampa judges and juries. Now, the hometown Tampa lawyer is poised to become the nation’s top law enforcement official. President-elect Donald Trump named Bondi as his second choice to be America’s attorney general, after his first pick, Republican U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, withdrew from consideration. Bondi’s ascent into the political stratosphere has many in Tampa’s legal community reminiscing about the young lawyer they knew. Before she was a MAGA star, before she became a Fox News commentator, before the fight against pill mills and human trafficking and the political controversies that dogged her eight years as Florida’s attorney general, Bondi was a telegenic homicide prosecutor known for her charm, intelligence and empathy. Bondi’s Tampa roots Pamela Jo Bondi was born in 1965 to an old Tampa family that dabbled in local politics. Her father, Joseph Bondi, was a college professor and school administrator who in the 1970s served as a city council member and mayor of Temple Terrace. She earned A’s and worked the student council at C. Leon King High School. She graduated in 1983 and studied criminal justice at the University of Florida before earning a law degree from the Stetson University College of Law. Bondi met the late Hillsborough State Attorney Bill James through her church. He recruited her for an internship in his office while she was still in law school. She did four jury trials as an intern. “I never wanted to do anything else,” she told the St. Petersburg Times years later. She passed the Florida Bar in 1991 and was hired as a full-time prosecutor in James’ office shortly thereafter. “What an ingenue!” someone wrote in notes from her job interview. “She’s got an engaging personality,” said Paul Sisco, a defense attorney who worked alongside Bondi as a prosecutor. “The likability factor is very high with her. ... In the early days, I can’t say I envisioned her as a politician or someone in national public office. But we were all in our 20s, so nobody did.” Bondi started in the office’s county court divisions, working drunken driving cases, domestic violence and misdemeanor drug crimes. “Pam, in my experience, was just always relentless, smart, thoughtful, empathetic with victims,” said Tampa attorney Ron Hanes, who was the chief in her division at the time. “She truly embraced the law and order in the role of a prosecutor and, in my opinion, still does.” It wasn’t long before Bondi worked her way into the office’s felony divisions. In the mid-1990s, she routinely asked juries to convict robbers and murderers. In some cases, she worked to help send defendants to the electric chair. “Juries absolutely loved Pam,” said Nick Cox, the statewide prosecutor. He was Bondi’s boss in the 1990s and later worked for her when she became Florida’s attorney general. During one trial the pair handled together, Cox recalled bickering with Bondi over a question she asked a witness. As Cox scolded her, Bondi whispered that their muted argument was making the jurors mad. “No. 2 is glaring at you,” he recalled her saying. “Put your hand on my shoulder. We’ll both laugh, it will be fine and you can yell at me later.” Building a name In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Bondi was at the center of some of the office’s high-profile cases. She prosecuted Valessa Robinson and Adam Davis, two teens convicted in the vicious murder of Robinson’s mother. She prosecuted former Major League Baseball pitcher Dwight Gooden, a fellow Tampa native, on drug and probation violation charges. By the time Mark Ober became state attorney in 2001, Bondi had established herself as a leader capable of interfacing with the public. She gained attention as Ober’s designated media spokesperson. “Once they see how articulate she is, how knowledgeable she is, the news stations compete for her presence,” Ober later told the St. Petersburg Times. She became something of a socialite, popping up at parties around Tampa. She was married and divorced twice. By 2007, Bondi was a regular guest on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other networks, delivering a law enforcement perspective on high-profile cases. She weighed in on stories from outside Florida, like the JonBenet Ramsey murder and the false rape allegations against members of the Duke University lacrosse team. About that same time, she was immersed in the case of Martin Lee Anderson, a teenage boy who died in a North Florida boot camp. Seven drill instructors and a nurse were charged in his death. Bondi was part of a team specially tapped to prosecute the case. A trial ended in acquittals. But it was yet another that made her a familiar face. Unwanted attention In that same era, Bondi’s image suffered after a legal battle erupted over a dog. The St. Bernard known as Master Tank was displaced after Hurricane Katrina and later adopted by Bondi. She renamed the dog Noah. When his original owners learned he was alive and asked for him back, Bondi refused. She hired the late Tampa legal titan Barry Cohen to represent her in the dispute. She ended up settling with the owners and returning the dog. It wasn’t uncommon for people to comment on the blond-haired, blue-eyed prosecutor’s looks. During the Anderson trial, an anonymous reader left a comment on a North Florida newspaper’s coverage of the case. “Although I don’t necessarily agree with the prosecution of the boot camp guards,” it read, “one thing that I agree with is that Pam Bondi is the all-time hottie of all the prosecutors on the planet.” In 2008, some less-than-discerning court observers confused Bondi with the teacher-turned-sex offender Debra LaFave. Bondi wasn’t pleased with the mistaken identity. Bondi’s image and status as a public figure have occasionally brought her unwanted attention. A man Bondi prosecuted on a worthless check charge during her first year as a prosecutor started stalking her, making repeated harassing phone calls. The man later died by suicide after leaping from the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Years later, after Bondi became Florida’s attorney general, a man sent her Facebook messages commenting on her looks and later showed up repeatedly outside her Tampa home. That man was arrested and given a court order to stay away from Bondi. Entering politics Bondi’s entry into politics started with a phone call in 2009 in a Baltimore parking lot. Adam Goodman, a media consultant whose past clients included ex-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, had followed Bondi’s career. He called her up and suggested she should consider a run for Florida’s attorney general. Bondi wrestled with the decision, but eventually entered the open race. In her first campaign, she sometimes struggled to articulate positions on political issues, like gay adoption. She benefited, though, from a familiarity she’d honed with Republican voters as a familiar face on Fox News. She beat out two other candidates in the primary and went on to beat a well-liked Democrat in the general election. Even then, there came speculation about what could follow for Bondi. Those who knew her insisted that Florida’s attorney general was all she wanted to be. “To her, being attorney general of Florida is akin to being president of the United States,” Goodman told the Times in 2010. “This is as big as it gets.” -------- ©2024 Tampa Bay Times.

I Used to Think the 4% Rule Made Sense for Retirement. Here's Why I've Changed My Mind.Eastern Ontario farm wants your Christmas trees to feed its animals: ’They do like the fresh needles’The military's tradition of tracking Santa Claus on his gravity-defying sweep across the globe will carry on this Christmas Eve, even if the U.S. government shuts down , officials said Friday. Each year, at least 100,000 kids call into the North American Aerospace Defense Command to inquire about Santa’s location. Millions more follow online — in nine languages — as St. Nick swoops along the earth's meridians. “We fully expect for Santa to take flight on Dec. 24 and NORAD will track him," the U.S.-Canadian agency said in a statement. On any other night, NORAD is scanning the heavens for potential threats , such as last year's Chinese spy balloon . But on Christmas Eve, volunteers in Colorado Springs, Colorado, are fielding questions like, “When is Santa coming to my house?” and, “Am I on the naughty or nice list?” The endeavor is supported by local and corporate sponsors, who also help shield the tradition from Washington dysfunction. Bob Sommers, 63, a civilian contractor and NORAD volunteer, told The Associated Press that there are "screams and giggles and laughter” when families call in, usually on speakerphone. Sommers often says on the call that everyone must be asleep before Santa arrives, prompting parents to say, "Do you hear what he said? We got to go to bed early." NORAD's annual tracking of Santa has endured since the Cold War , predating ugly sweater parties and Mariah Carey classics . Here's how it began and why the phones keep ringing. It started with a child's accidental phone call in 1955. The Colorado Springs newspaper printed a Sears advertisement that encouraged children to call Santa, listing a phone number. A boy called. But he reached the Continental Air Defense Command, now NORAD, a joint U.S. and Canadian effort to spot potential enemy attacks. Tensions were growing with the Soviet Union, along with anxieties about nuclear war. Air Force Col. Harry W. Shoup picked up an emergency-only “red phone” and was greeted by a tiny voice that began to recite a Christmas wish list. “He went on a little bit, and he takes a breath, then says, ‘Hey, you’re not Santa,’” Shoup told The Associated Press in 1999. Realizing an explanation would be lost on the youngster, Shoup summoned a deep, jolly voice and replied, “Ho, ho, ho! Yes, I am Santa Claus. Have you been a good boy?” Shoup said he learned from the boy's mother that Sears mistakenly printed the top-secret number. He hung up, but the phone soon rang again with a young girl reciting her Christmas list. Fifty calls a day followed, he said. In the pre-digital age, the agency used a 60-by-80-foot (18-by-24-meter) plexiglass map of North America to track unidentified objects. A staff member jokingly drew Santa and his sleigh over the North Pole. The tradition was born. “Note to the kiddies,” began an AP story from Colorado Springs on Dec. 23, 1955. “Santa Claus Friday was assured safe passage into the United States by the Continental Air Defense Command.” In a likely reference to the Soviets, the article noted that Santa was guarded against possible attack from "those who do not believe in Christmas.” Some grinchy journalists have nitpicked Shoup's story, questioning whether a misprint or a misdial prompted the boy's call. In 2014, tech news site Gizmodo cited an International News Service story from Dec. 1, 1955, about a child's call to Shoup. Published in the Pasadena Independent, the article said the child reversed two digits in the Sears number. "When a childish voice asked COC commander Col. Harry Shoup, if there was a Santa Claus at the North Pole, he answered much more roughly than he should — considering the season: ‘There may be a guy called Santa Claus at the North Pole, but he’s not the one I worry about coming from that direction,'" Shoup said in the brief piece. In 2015, The Atlantic magazine doubted the flood of calls to the secret line, while noting that Shoup had a flair for public relations. Phone calls aside, Shoup was indeed media savvy. In 1986, he told the Scripps Howard News Service that he recognized an opportunity when a staff member drew Santa on the glass map in 1955. A lieutenant colonel promised to have it erased. But Shoup said, “You leave it right there,” and summoned public affairs. Shoup wanted to boost morale for the troops and public alike. “Why, it made the military look good — like we’re not all a bunch of snobs who don’t care about Santa Claus,” he said. Shoup died in 2009. His children told the StoryCorps podcast in 2014 that it was a misprinted Sears ad that prompted the phone calls. “And later in life he got letters from all over the world,” said Terri Van Keuren, a daughter. "People saying ‘Thank you, Colonel, for having, you know, this sense of humor.’” NORAD's tradition is one of the few modern additions to the centuries-old Santa story that have endured, according to Gerry Bowler, a Canadian historian who spoke to the AP in 2010. Ad campaigns or movies try to “kidnap” Santa for commercial purposes, said Bowler, who wrote “Santa Claus: A Biography.” NORAD, by contrast, takes an essential element of Santa's story and views it through a technological lens. In a recent interview with the AP, Air Force Lt. Gen. Case Cunningham explained that NORAD radars in Alaska and Canada — known as the northern warning system — are the first to detect Santa. He leaves the North Pole and typically heads for the international dateline in the Pacific Ocean. From there he moves west, following the night. “That's when the satellite systems we use to track and identify targets of interest every single day start to kick in,” Cunningham said. “A probably little-known fact is that Rudolph’s nose that glows red emanates a lot of heat. And so those satellites track (Santa) through that heat source.” NORAD has an app and website, www.noradsanta.org , that will track Santa on Christmas Eve from 4 a.m. to midnight, mountain standard time. People can call 1-877-HI-NORAD to ask live operators about Santa’s location from 6 a.m. to midnight, mountain time.
