    Glad to see you think the concept of the "Leaders derive their power from the governed" is "nonesense"

    You can only claim that he cut taxes if you pretend tariffs are not taxes. And unemployment was already falling before he took office and continued to fall after he left. No rational person can pretend this was due to Trump's magic wand.

    You're right. Under Trumps watch he had the Longest Government shutdown in our history and created this inflation by dumping money to shore up the economy after he failed to fight the Covid virus.

    President Biden is a welcome relief............ actually making America Great Again...... with none of the noise !

    America has always been great. Our presidents and politicians do not make us who we are. In most cases, they are the worst of us. Trump and Biden included.

    I understand.

    But here's the thing...

    It doesn't matter what you did in past elections. In THIS election, you have a guy who might be unpopular, and may not go down as the best President in history. But, in the end, he's trying his best to do his job and he'll turn over power to whoever wins after him. Whatever mistakes he made will be corrected. The Republic ("if we can keep it", said Dr. Franklin) will continue. And there won't be any drama.

    On the other hand you have a wacko who already incited an insurrection because he lost. Who will embrace any conspiracy theory and who cares only about HIMSELF. A proven criminal and sexual abuser who has already declared that he would be a dictator (clear to anybody who doesn't drink the "day one" kool aide). And who will not give up power without, at a minimum, a huge tantrum that his followers will support violently. If we manage to avoid a dictatorship, the country will be divided like... we haven't seen since the Civil War. There WILL be violence. And many more who emulate him will come.

    There is way more at stake in these elections than whether we like a candidate or not. It's more whether we like our Republic or not.

    I voted for Biden in 2020 to get rid of Trump. I liked Biden as a senator, a moderate democrat who had some good ideas that very few latched onto to include many other Democratic senators. I always viewed old Joe as a transition president, someone in-between Trump and whoever came next. The last thing I thought would happen would be another rematch in 2024. Sitting presidents who lose usually fade away. Trump didn’t. I personally believe some other democrat, a younger, fresher democrat would have a much better chance of defeating Trump than Biden. I do agree with you about keeping Trump from regaining the white house. It’s just I think Biden gives him a 50-50 shot. At least as of today which all the available numbers show.


    Now reporting or posting on who America plans on voting for is something I think needs said. I especially keep track of independents, swing voters, the non-affiliated, the less to non-partisans who for better or worse, vote the candidates while each major party’s base votes the letter behind the name. You’d be surprise at the number of swing voters who think the democrats spouting Trump is out to destroy democracy is nothing more than campaign rhetoric, vote for me type of slogan. They don’t take it seriously. Around a third of independents are unhappy with Biden, don’t want Trump back, as I said are looking for someone else. It’s these folks that worries me. Chances are that many in this third will stay home and don’t vote, many will opt for a third-party candidate if they do vote. Biden has to do something to win this third back. They for the most part voted for him in 2020. What that is, I don’t know. Perhaps the trials if they happen with Trump sitting in the courtroom as a defendant will or maybe not. All these indictments and charges hasn’t changed how this third plan on voting. I’m keeping a very close eye on this third of independents.


    Me, you don’t have to worry about. It’s that third of independents who dislike and don’t want neither major party candidate. Here in Georgia, the latest CNN/SSRS poll has Trump 42%, Biden 34%, RFK Jr. 15%, West 6%. Biden’s job approval in Georgia 39%

    How this third of independents vote in November will decide the election. Not either party’s base, not the rest of independents. They’re divided evenly. But this third which I will continue to follow.

    I think the Iran/Pakistan thing is something different.

    'The unprecedented attacks by both Pakistan and Iran on either side of their border appeared to target Baluch militant groups with similar separatist goals. The countries accuse each other of providing a haven to the groups in their respective territories.'

    So they both think that the other is trying to plant these unwanted separatists in each other's territory?

    I have a feeling that the separate conflicts are going to start merging together into a greater middle-eastern conflict.

    His mental decline is alarming and appears to be contagious.



    'Most Americans understand by now that President Joe Biden is not well in the brain. Just 28 percent of respondents in a recent ABC News poll said the 81-year-old Biden had "the mental sharpness it takes to effectively serve as president."'

    'What most Americans might not realize is that Biden's cognitive decline appears to have spread to members of the White House staff. The president's top press officials, Karine Jean-Pierre and John Kirby, have exhibited symptoms that are alarmingly similar to Biden's. The same is true of Vice President Kamala Harris and national security adviser Jake Sullivan.'

    Naa.. we DEMS realized we can’t just jack up 100 million vote at 3 am, that became too suspicious. What we have been thinking we will jack up 60 million votes right at 7 pm when poll closes and then add another 40 million at 3 am. That you conservatives will not see the obvious cheating we are doing

    as long as we win , we don't care how. and more impotently as long as Trump is not elected, we really don't give a s$$$$ how we won.

    now , the best things conservatives can do is stay home and do nothing.

    Seems lots of leftist men are obsessed with that phrase. Is that because they’ve never seen one?

    I recall another prediction in the past about a certain someone being convicted.

    I hope you kept the receipt for the crystal ball.
