The Effort to Defeat Trump

 There is no limit to which the Left will not go to defeat Donald Trump.

It has lied about him.

It has committed lawfare against him.

It has tried to assassinate him...twice.

And there are useful idiots throughout this country that accept all of this because their hatred of this man is greater than their love for their country.

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are a comedy duo running for office.  If anyone made an honest assessment of these fools there is no way that they would be elected.  Nevermind their obvious character flaws (Trump has his own; more on them anon); their policies are borderline communist and their abilities are nonexistent.  Add to that that they are allergic to the truth and it's a wonder anyone would vote for either of them, let along them as a ticket.

Trump is flawed personally.  He was a philanderer, he's boastful, he's petty, he's a name caller and he misrepresents things just as much as Harris-Walz.  He's not someone who is going to be inducted to an honor society any time soon.

But when the policies of the candidates are compared, there is no comparison.  The policies of the Biden-Harris administration have been ruinous for the country.  The economy, the border, international relations, energy, DEI, the First Amendment, student loan forgiveness -- nothing has gone right.  Bidenomics, touted as the savior of the economy, is a chimera.  Literally nothing has benefited the country that this administration has attempted.

Trump's policies, on the other hand, did reasonably well for the country.  There were some misfires -- that usually happens -- but on average, the country benefited from his policies.  In exchange the country had to put up with his boorish behavior.  But which was worse for the country?

The MSM's assistance of the Left is treasonous.  For years, I've been trying to figure out a way for it to be put on trial.  There is no way to do it.  Finally, however, I've figured it out:  Drug them with sodium thiopental, or truth serum, and then ask them questions while they're being taped.  It's the only way for the public to see just how the Fourth Estate has been a Fifth Column.

I will vote for Trump and Vance.  For me the choice is clear:  Harris-Walz should be nowhere near the Oval Office.

Besides, if Trump is elected he can't run again.

But at least the country will see the wisdom of putting up with boorish behavior is the policies benefit the country.

The Left's Lie of Reproductive Rights and Abortion

 The Left is shameless.  The way it thinks it's going to win the Presidency is by toting out a hapless black woman and beating the drum on regaining universal rights for reproduction and abortion.  The only nuance is that the former is mentioned far more than the latter, since in the Left's mind, it includes the latter.  Therein lies the lie.

As far as I know, the Right doesn't oppose contraception.  It does oppose, rightly in my opinion, radical abortion on demand, exclusive of the health of the mother.  There is a very tetchy grey area involving rape and incest which, frankly, I understand but, from what I understand, is also a very small percentage of cases.  But insofar as contraception is concerned, I don't believe the Right opposes it.

Just looking at the word contraception should give the Left a hint:  It means against conception or to prevent conception.  That necessarily means that reproduction is to be prevented by the use of birth control.  The SCOTUS has ruled that contraception must be available to citizens, so that's not even an issue.  But the way the Left argues, even contraception is on the ballot.

No one on the right is telling women they can't reproduce.  They're not telling them how to reproduce.  What we're saying is that murdering an unborn child (outside the noted exceptions) is not reproductive right; it is murder.  I'm not going to get into the details of what is euphemistically referred to as a D&C, but it's horrific.  But necessarily, use of contraception is not part of reproduction.  It is in fact the antithesis of reproduction, and no one is arguing that contraception be banned.

But the Left would have you believe that the Right wants some Handmaiden's Tale reality where women are at the beck and call of men for breeding.  That's untrue.  What we want is the end of the wholesale slaughter of innocent lives that the Left sophistically won't admit is human life in utero.  The Left will twist itself into knots arguing that it's an embryo, not a baby, and therefore cannot be killed.

Yet these same people never argue that a child in utero should not inherit property, which they can, or that a pregnant woman who is killed counts as two deaths, one for her and one for her unborn child.  Consistency is not the Left's strong suit.

So while the DNC has Planned Parenthood outside the United Center offering free vasectomies and abortions, the Left skirts the issue of human life murdered for convenience and instead shouts that it wants universal reproductive rights, unaware of the inherent contradiction in its argument.

I pray for all the murdered souls that have been lost through abortion.

May God have mercy on their souls and on the souls of the abortionists.

Here Comes the Kamaleon

 So, no one fucks with a Biden, eh?

I guess someone -- or someones -- fucked with him, because he's no longer the Democratic candidate for president.  Pelosi, Schumer and, of all people, George Clooney conspired to take him out.  They're going to lionize him at the DNC convention this week, but he's basically being put out to pasture.  I guess the Chinese-Romanian-Russian gravy train has left the station, never to return.

In his place is that Queen of Word Salads, Kamala Harris.  The woman who couldn't put a cogent sentence together on her own if he life depended on it is now being touted as competent enough to launch nuclear weapons.  She's so gifted that since she was anointed, unofficially, as Biden's replacement she hasn't had one press conference or interview in nearly four weeks.

What's even funnier, she's now trying to show that we didn't see or hear what we saw or heard over the last four years.  O' no, she's not an extreme Leftist.  She's a moderate.  In fact, she's...positively Trumpian.  She's claiming positions that are diametrically opposite from the ones she's taken over the last seven years and which former President Trump has stated as his positions over the same period of time.

But my theory has always been this:  Biden has been setting her up for this epic fail.  Follow along.

During the 2016 primaries, Kamala accused Joe of being a racist.  Reports have Jill saying something along the lines of fuck that bitch at fundraisers.  Then, out of the blue, Joe announces her as his running mate.  Why?  Well, she's black and a woman, which endears him to vacuous Leftists who only vote based on quotas, not issues.

Then they get elected and he gives her a lightning rod of a job:  Immigration.  And what does she do with it? At his direction, she allows more than ten million illegals into the country.  She also has a few other thankless tasks thrown in.  But whispers also begin to surface about how she runs her office, how she never prepares, how she is thought to be mindless and ineffective.  And does Joe support her?  He only recently has come out and said things favorable about her...after he was forced out.

So he's hamstrung her from the beginning, almost ensuring that she's going to be an epic failure.  If only Trump would focus on the issues and stop the ad hominem attacks -- as tempting as they are -- and work at political jui jitsu, he'd win in a landslide.

Our country's future depends on it.

Defiance

 I'm now sixty-three-years-old.  I'm far too old to care what others think about me.  This cuts both ways, of course, as Karen tells me all the time.  For a long time now I've valued being true to myself more than trying to curry favor with other people.

That being said, here are some things about which I'm intransigent, stubborn and defiant.

--  I miss Jim Croce, John Denver and Dan Fogelberg.  Many regard their music disdainfully, usually labeling it as elevator music.  I believe those people are wrong.  I love their music.  That they all died far too soon is sad beyond belief.  I wonder what other beautiful songs they could have recorded.

--  If someone turns on their signal to change a lane in front of me, that does not grant the person carte blanche to take the spot.  It signals that person's intention.  I am not obligated to let that person in in front of me.

--  I'm not sorry.  Abortion as an elective surgery is morally wrong.  There are situations where abortion is necessary.  But this notion that abortion is one option for birth control is logically incongruous and morally wrong.

--  I will never root for the University of Michigan football and basketball teams.  

--  If an artist comes out and denounces not only President Trump but anyone who disagrees with him or her simply because we don't bend the knee at the altar of Obama, I won't watch any of his movies or listen to any of his music.

--  My brother told me a high school classmate reached out to him asking him to contact me about attending our reunion.  I have no interest in ever reuniting with people who barely tolerated me in high school and then lost all interest in my once we graduated.

-- I can't stomach modern-day musicals.

-- I won't eat cooked eggs.

-- DEI is stupid.  Treat everyone with respect and hire the best person regardless of race or sex.  If, however, you only hire white men, something's wrong, because there are plenty of minorities and women out there who could teach white men a thing or two.

-- The island of Ireland should be united.  Until it is, I will not step foot in England.

-- Michael Jordan is better than LeBron James on the court.  James is a better person off the court.
