    My favorite part is they follow up their "group-think, attending progressive seminars, stereotyping, excluding of those who're not like-minded, acting out their assumed elitism," by then telling us how inclusive and diverse they are. They remind me of a child clomping around in daddy's shoes defiantly saying "I AM a big boy! I AM a big boy!" The strident nature of their declarations is an overt admission of the obvious truth.

    I sat behind a couple of those on the train. They went on and on with the liberal and progressive mantras, not once voicing an original thought. Yet it was clear that they viewed themselves as the intelligent ones.

    Biden is doling out a little bit of blackmail now.
    He’s having a problem with some “red state” governors in relation to his latest 6 mandates. Essentially, they are refusing to be dictators. So, using the power of the Presidency, the rations of monoclonal antibody infusions are being cut by almost half, at least that’s here in Alabama.
    The governor of Florida has vowed to buy his state’s needs from another company but as of yet, he hasn’t found that other company.

    What Biden hasn’t gotten through to his very demented brain is that over 53% of those getting the infusions here in Alabama have already had their shots and are still getting sick.
    Moreover, the majority of those who haven’t had the jab and have gotten sick are being given the infusions and they get better.
    All that said, Biden has a vendetta and he will either be the supreme dictator and the state governors should tremble when he speaks otherwise he’ll sit back and watch people die until they do.

    Yeah, clearly it's about power and control, with no consideration for health, whatsoever.

    I think a lot of Democrats are supportive of their party no matter what so that they don’t have to admit that they’ve been wrong all this while because it would damage their ego. It’s a lot like when you’re a fan of a rotten football team but you still wear their jersey.

    Yep, the American "useful idiots" are all about "diversity" and have been for a long time.

    EXCEPT for diversity in thought. NO! NO! NO! -- you must toe the line when it comes to thought.

    There’s a middle aged fella by the name of David who walks down our street at around 0730 every morning on his way to the corner store, supposedly to wait for his ride. He doesn’t own a watch so whilst passing by he always says “howdy boss” and asks me what time it is and I always give him the time but rounded off. 0725 is about 0730. 0735 is still about 0730.
    One day though when I was at the corner store and saw him waiting for his ride, he again asked me what time it was and I told him but then I asked him why he didn’t own a watch.
    He laughed a bit and said, “I don’t need one because there are enough people around who have watches and I can ask you and them what time it is”.
    “But, what if someone told you the wrong time”? A bit more of a laugh and he said, you wouldn’t do that. You’re a nice guy.

    That answer didn’t particularly strike me as odd but it did make for a heckova metaphor when on another occasion when I was at the store he was talking to a couple of friends and I overheard him saying how much better he thought the country was going now that Trump wasn’t the President any longer.

    Ya see, David would rather trust someone, anyone, to tell him what time it is than to go out, do a little shopping and buy his own reliable watch so he’d always know the true time.
    It also tells me why he thinks this country is so much better now. He depends on “nice guys” to do his thinking for him too.

    When we went to war after 911, one of my older sisters said "If it would only end the fighting, we should just let them [the Muslims] take us over." To which I replied "So you'd be OK with our niece or any girl being the victim of an honor killing if she dared go to the movies with her friends without a male relative escorting her? Just kill her for that????" My sister got angry and stomped off!!! There was no "Yeh, what was I thinking" or "I hadn't thought of that." Just get pissed at me pointing out the reality and stomp off in a childish huff. She was in her early 50s at the time.

    They learn nothing.

    Biden held an Oval Office meeting yesterday with Boris Johnson (U.K. Prime Minister) to discuss the bilateral trading relationship and "dangers of climate change." When it was time for Q&A, Johnson answered a couple of the U.K. reporters' questions. When one of the media asked Biden about the border crisis, White House aides immediately created orchestrated chaos by all shouting "Thank you! Thank you!" as they then shoved the press out of the room. Apparently, when Biden is the target, it's all "Q" and no "A," and your time is up.

    (It all makes me think of the experience prior U.S.Presidents had in the U.S.S.R., seeing the Russian media hurriedly escorted out of the room for asking am unacceptable question. I bet Johnson felt that way.)

    The US press pool then went to Jen Psaki's office to register a formal complaint [over the behaviour of the man they fraudulently helped to put in that position.] I have no sympathy...buncha corrupt children.

    I could not find a format that is imbedable here.

    Biden is so incompetent that it staggers the imagination. That said, I remember hearing "At least he doesn't brag and tweet!" Those were words of a Biden supporter in a deep state of cognitive dissonance. On the other hand, Trump and his supporters would do well to understand how much people hated that, along with Trump's lack of humility and civility. The right answer at the wrong time, in the wrong context or in the wrong voice will be the wrong answer. We need an answer to Biden - one that can get elected, do the right things, stay in office and not piss everybody off in the process.

    You and I are gonna disagree on this.

    I feel that Trump was the right man for the job at this point in time, and he still is. He was The Enemy of The State...both parties...who are the enemies of this nation. He rarely said anything inflammatory that did not later show itself to have a purpose...he flushed out the lies and corruption endemic in the Federal government. Trump pissed off people who needed to be pissed off It is the media's job to fairly report on it, but they are part of the corruption. Heck, the media wet its pants when Trump overturned so many of Obama's last minute Executive Orders, and when the economy flourished under Trump after he negated so many of Obama';s policies, the media gave Obama credit. For so many people, the media gets to create their reality.

    I, too, wish for a more "saleable" President, but the fact is we are under attack. A saleable person is by definition part of the problem; otherwise, they would be under attack and every transgression (real or imagined) would be fabricated/magnified by the media. Heck, when citizens paid their own way from all across this nation to DC in 2009 to protest Obamacare and other issues, The Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Congress of The United States of America (Pelosi) referred to them as "Astro Turf." There was no media drum beat on her slandering us. Then next week the unions bussed in their hired useful idiots and The Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Congress of The United States of America (Pelosi) referred to them as "Grass Roots." The media supported that statement. Funny how some slander gets a pass.

    Every time there is a Republican in the White House, they are immediately labeled as being "inaccessible" to the media, even when it is a complete lie. I didn't see anything about this Biden incident on the news. The media merely filed an internal complaint and then failed to inform the American people. BFD. I bet by this time in his presidency, Trump had given the media 10 times or 50 times or more access than Biden has, yet we hear nothing about Biden dodging them.

    Trump's braggadocio was always in favor of Americans and he did the right thing by us, while the Obamas are "Proud for the first time" and Biden says "You ain't nothing remarkable." And Biden leveraged his position as a sitting Vice President to gain international access for his druggie child and we heard nothing...yet "Trump's Tweets are bad." But I guess at least the other guys destroy us civilly.

    I am thinking we might mostly disagree on Trump's communications and personnel selection skills. That said, you cannot escape the fact that he lost to the worst possible candidate in this country's history, someone against whom he should have had an enormous landslide victory. He was the right answer in the wrong context and voice. With the exception of the supreme court, much or most of what he did has been undone since his actions led us to Biden.

    We assume he actually lost.
