Florida Woman Wants to Be Elected to Congress, Says She Was Abducted by Aliens
Over the years, you’ve likely read about that time a Florida Woman tried to impregnate her slave with her boyfriend’s sperm.
Or the time a Florida Woman was so desperate for Chicken McNuggets that she hoped to exchange oral sex for this fast food delicacy.
But this is a new one, even for the much-maligned and often-controversial Florida Woman:
Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera claims she was abducted by aliens at the age of seven.
Oh, and she’s running for Congress!
A one-time council member from Doral, Aguilera previously described her alleged interaction with extraterrestrials in multiple interviews uncovered by The Miami Herald.
The politician says two large-bodied females and one male visited her when she was a child and have communicated telepathically with her multiple times since then.
In a 2009 Q&A, Aguilera outlined “going up” into a spaceship with these beings and spending time as their captive/guest.
“I went in. There were some round seats that were there, and some quartz rocks that controlled the ship – not like airplanes,” Rodriguez Aguilera said.
In separate videos posted to YouTube many years ago – one by local Spanish-language station America TeVe and another by a political critic with the user name DoralGirl26 – Rodriguez Aguilera talked in detail about these experiences.
She said the alien beings reminded her of the famous statue in Rio de Janeiro, Christ the Redeemer, with arms outstretched.
As for what she learned from these aliens?
– There are 30,000 skulls (“different from humans”) in a cave in the Mediterranean island of Malta.
– The world’s “energy center” is located in Africa.
– The Coral Castle, a limestone tourist attraction South Miami-Dade, is actually an ancient Egyptian pyramid.
– Simply, “God is a universal energy.”
Aguilera isn’t really denying this story, either.
She’s running to replace retiring Miami Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and responded to The Herald’s request for comment as follows:
“For years people, including Presidents like Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter and astronauts have publicly claimed to have seen unidentified flying objects and scientists like Stephen Hawking and institutions like the Vatican have stated that there are billions of galaxies in the universe and we are probably not alone.
“I personally am a Christian and have a strong belief in God, I join the majority of Americans who believe that there must be intelligent life in the billions of planets and galaxies in the universe.”
She also thinks the newspaper is out to get her.
“The Miami Herald article is clearly an attack piece,” Aguilera told The Washington Post, adding:
“I’m a person who owns up to who I am.
“And this is just an experience that I had. It has nothing to do with who I am and what I have shown in the past 40 years and what a positive role model I’ve been to the community.”
We’d say she has no chance of winning, but… you’ve seen who is in the White House, right?

Jennifer Lawrence on Donald Trump Being Elected: We"ll Be Alright!
The world is still in shock at Donald Trump being elected President of the United States.
It’s been just three days since Trump emerged victorious to Hillary Clinton in the election and the stars are still throwing in their two cents about the whole thing.
In case you didn’t know, 26-year-old Lawrence was very much Team Hillary, so as you can probably expect, she is not impressed with the result.
So much so that she took to writing about her thoughts on the matter in a surprisingly long essay.
“Is this the stark reality? It doesn’t matter how hard you work or how qualified you are, at the end of the day, you’re not a man? Is that what we just learned?” the Hunger Games actress asked.
“This country was founded on immigration and today the only people that feel safe, that their rights are recognized and respected are white men. I want to be positive; I want to support our democracy, but what can we take away from this? It’s a genuine question that we all need to ask ourselves. We shouldn’t blame anyone, we shouldn’t riot in the streets.”
Lawrence was very clear about what the next course of action should be for the people disappointed by the result.
“We should think strongly and clearly about what to do next because we cannot change the past.”
“If you’re a woman and you’re worried that no matter how hard you work or how much you learn, there will always be a glass ceiling, then I don’t really know what to say,” she said.
“I don’t know what I would tell my daughter if I were you. Except to have hope. To work for the future.”
Additionally, the actress made it very clear that people should not accept defeat.
“If you’re a woman and you’re worried that no matter how hard you work or how much you learn, there will always be a glass ceiling, then I don’t really know what to say,” she said. “I don’t know what I would tell my daughter if I were you. Except to have hope. To work for the future.”
“We mustn’t be defeated. We will keep educating ourselves and working twice as hard as the man next to us because we know now that it is not fair. It is not fair in the workplace, so you make it impossible to fail. And like Hillary, it might not work.”
Jennifer Lawrence is well-known for keeping it real. She’s never been one to shy away from speaking her mind and that’s part of why we think she’s amazing!
The election result has definitely divided a lot of people. Most thought he wouldn’t actually be elected, but he was.
In the wake of the election, some have been calling for Scandal character, Olivia Pope, to help fix things, but Kerry Washington was quick to point out that the character was fictional and could not help.
What do you think about all of this?

Donald Trump Elected 45th President of the United States
Donald Trump was elected as the 45th President of the United States earlier this morning following a stunning night of 2016 election results.
Victories in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in the wee hours of Wednesday morning put Trump over the top with 276 Electoral votes.
Trump, a 70-year-old businessman and reality TV star who had never before run for office, will be the oldest man elected to a first term.
After running a divisive campaign, he sounded a note of reconciliation as he claimed victory over Hillary Clinton shortly before 3 a.m.
“Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country.”
“I mean that very sincerely. Now it’s time for America to bind the wounds of division,” he added. “We have to get together.”
“To all Republicans, Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people.”
Clinton called to concede just before his remarks.
His win marked the culmination of a campaign that defied expectations, polarized a nation and, ultimately, repudiated the status quo.
Clinton’s quest to become the first female U.S. president in history was thwarted by voters fed up with Washington, and mistrustful of her.
Trump portrayed her, often facetiously, as the embodiment of a rigged political and economic system that had failed the everyday American.
Her credentials were seen not as an asset, but a liability, as the former Secretary of State was cast as the ultimate establishment insider.
The general election, which riveted the country, perhaps turned on the question of national identity more than either of the two candidates.
While Clinton assembled a diverse coalition that she said reflected the nation’s future, it was no match Trump’s self-professed movement.
Millions of Americans alienated by forces of globalization and multiculturalism and frustrated with the ineptitude of D.C. backed him.
In droves. His Electoral College triumph is already decisive and may turn out to be even more so when the final results are confirmed.
Voters convinced that the system is stacked against them, fearful of terrorism and angry about falling incomes gravitated toward Trump.
In him, they looked past a number of personal and professional flaws to see their fearless champion who will re-create a bygone era.
An America unchallenged, facing no threats at home and unfettered by elitist notions of “political correctness” is what Trump promised.
Can he actually deliver that? Needless to say, that’s easier said than done, if not impossible, but America bought what he was selling.
Trump, who has famously promised to Make America Great Again as per his camoaign slogan, said that under his upcoming administration:
“America will no longer settle for anything less than the best.”
He also promised foreign countries that “while we were always put America’s interests first, we will deal fairly with everyone.”
“We will seek common ground, not hostility.”
The NYC real estate developer thanked his wife, Melania, and his children for their patience, saying: “This was tough. This was tough.”
“This political stuff is nasty and it’s tough.”
The people have spoken, with Trump not only winning but doing so decisively, winning states that had gone Democratic for decades.
Arizona, Alaska, Michigan and New Hampshire are still too close to call and could add to the Republican’s vote total today or this week.
It’s possible, albeit not consequential, that Clinton will still win the popular vote, where she very narrowly leads 58,879,610-58,844,022.
If that happens, it will be the second time in 16 years that a Democratic candidate achieved that hollow victory while losing the election.
What comes next is anyone’s guess, but it can be summed up – regardless of which side of the spectrum you’re on – in just one word:
Uncertainty.
With Trump’s ascension to the White House, the nationalist wave that has swept through the European Union and the world has hit home.
While it would’ve been foolish to discount his chances, and we certainly did not, no one has any idea what a President Trump will be like.
Even his true believers and probably his own staff have to be somewhat curious, if not concerned, about what will transpire on January 20.
This isn’t an insult, but a byproduct of the sheer unpredictability of his outsider status and brash, unapologetic shoot-from-the-hip candidacy.
It should be … very interesting.
On Wall Street, all three major stock index futures tanked overnight and will open markedly lower when trading begins in a few hours.
And so it begins. So it begins.
Let’s come together and congratulate and pray for Donald, and the Republic he must now lead … whether he actually wanted the job or not.

Donald Trump -- If Elected, First Lady Will Be Scorching Hot (PHOTO)
Z STAFF
This is what you get if you elect him … a first lady who is runway ready.
Donald and Melania were leaving the Polo Bar in NYC Tuesday night, after eating some grub. They walked a block, back to their pad at Trump World Towers.
Less talk, more walk.
