Who Is Tim Kaine?
thinkprogress.org

On Tuesday, November 8, the day we elect a candidate as president, couldn't come any faster. Donald Trump has already elected his vice president, Mike Pence. Now Hillary Clinton has chosen Tim Kaine as her vice president. We are all either rooting for Clinton or Donald, unless you're that person who doesn't like either.

When candidates choose their vice president, it gives us a closer look of what they want to accomplish, and a little more character to each person.

What you should know about Tim Kaine:

Kaine is 58-years-old and a Virginia senator, he was also a Virginia governor, Democratic National Committee chairman and Richmond mayor.

"He took a year off from law school to volunteer with Jesuit missionaries at a vocational school in Honduras. He speaks Spanish fluently, switching between languages in many ads and campaign speeches. In a 2013 address on immigration, he became the first senator to give a speech on the Senate floor in a language other than English," according to cnbc.com.

As for what Kaine supports and opposes:

Supports: He supports Obama's Affordable Care Act, comprehensive immigration reform, universal education for little kids, global climate change, pro-gun control, and same-sex marriage,

Opposes: death penalty, smoking, and discrimination in the workforce.

In the first rally with Clinton, Kaine spoke Spanish to the crowd. According to Yahoo.com, Clinton "had said she wanted a running mate with enough experience to 'literally get up one day and be the president of the United States.'"

I think I'm ready to have Hillary Clinton as President and Tim Kaine as Vice President.

What are your thoughts on Tim Kaine? Is it a thumbs up or a thumbs down for Hillary Clinton?

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
