Most of us moms had the childless friend or relative who was sure they knew all about raising kids, and couldn’t wait to criticize your parenting skills. I was amazed to find out the people who didn’t have kids were always the ones who knew the most about kids and weren’t shy about sharing their genius. Unfortunately most of us learned to politely ignore them instead of speaking up.
Now these same people think they should be able to decide how to raise everyone’s kids. “The children of the community are the children of the community” should make every mom stand up and pay attention. They mean it.
There’s a reason why single women are the largest Democratic voting demographic. They don’t understand the difference between a child and a cat.
yep. ...especially when one takes into consideration the developmental phase of the human child referred to as "moral development".
Right? There is no authority on the long-term fallout on chemically induced sex 'therapies" on children.
I am impressed with the personal way folks respond to Sasha Stone's "call to arms". amazing if the concern of the INNOCENT CHILD becomes a rally cry for women (and men) based on the defense of the child ...something akin to a moral equivalency to the #metoo movement?!
This kind of rally cry can take 18 mo to build into a social movement, but the sentiment is brewing and untapped, properly formulated key phrases placed in 30-90 sec messaging, directed to target audiences could result in a political awakening I believe the shift is happening and Stone's MAMA decree is perhaps one of 10,000s voices roaring to come out.
I’ll start by saying I agree with Sasha’s article, and that I am not in any way trying to attack you. That out of the way…
I know a lot of people who are as you describe. But there can be exceptions.
I am a very happy father of two fantastic kids…. but my views on how to raise kids have not really changed since my days of being a single guy, who was not opposed to dating single moms, but who broke up with a few because he did not like their parenting methods or priorities.
I suppose a couple of crucial factors may be involved - I had very good parents, and I have always liked kids.
So I would qualify your comment, by pointing out that the kind of advice you are referring to usually comes from childless people, who not only don’t have kids, but they don’t have any intention of having kids, and may not even like kids.
Morgan-- as a childless (not by choice) cat lady- I totally agree w/ you, but I'm down w/ pretty much everything Sasha says above!
I have always given advice (if asked) on kids because , although not having any of my own-I taught plenty of them and have always possessed common sense and empathy. Also like you-I like kids and had good parents ( and grandparents.) When I was single I also had to end some relationships w/ men who I thought were doing poor jobs parenting. I eventually met and married a wonderful man who is a terrific father-making me a stepmom and later a granny. Although having never given birth and having that biological switch turned on-I think I actually care more, and worry about our youngsters and what is happening to them (because of the acceptance and promotion of "gender affirming" care) than many women who are biological mothers.
I absolutely think that people who have experience with children, especially professional experience, have something to add to the child-rearing conversation, with the caveat always that they understand that parents sit in a very different position than them. I had my son much older, and before I had him, if asked by a friend or family member for input on their kids, my thoughts ALWAYS came from the perspective of having been a child once myself. In fact, I that is still my approach when my sisters look for commiseration. I can't tell them what to do - every kid is different, every living situation is different, every parent is different - but I CAN tell them what I remembered about being a kid and how my parents might have been able to reach me.
Hey Jude, I agree her essay was wonderful. I am cautious to stereotype adults without children because I think for many it was nearly impossible. And indeed one of their great regrets. I do not deny that more than a few seem to think they know best how to raise a child; and what parent has not doubted their own success on occasion? Take care, amigo.
I know the type of person who you are describing but a blanket statement that "single women...don't understand the difference between a child and a cat" is ridiculous. There are plenty of caring single women nurturing children as good teachers, nurses, pediatricians, nannies, aunts, etc.
Yes of course you are right. I did go too far in my statement. I was referring only to the type who are certain that they should be in charge of everything, including children who aren’t their own.
100% agree. Her best episode. She nails it. This episode is energizing and affirming that I am not crazy and that one party clearly denies the science of human biology. I am not alone in this.
There's nothing like commenting on a situation you know nothing about. Reminds me of the debate - in Springfield they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats, they're eating the pets. How would he know? The only president to not have a dog in the White House.
I have a 37 year old gay daughter. She's a fire-fighter, married to a great gal, and they have a 9 month old son (I'm a Grandpa!). Although she looks like an 18 year old German dude and does get mistaken for being male, she does not behave in a "manly" manner and 100% identifies as female. I am so thankful that she didn't have "trans" as part of the equation in her young mind. She was simply gay and that was cool with her and everybody else.
Agreed. I don't know why the gay community isn't more vocal about this. I guess if you're into the LGTBQ and intersectional stuff it's one for all and all for one (which, by the way, is the credo of the Hells Angels). I remember my daughter once saying there should be three categories: Straight, Gay, and Whatever.
I think some are reluctant to criticize on general principle. I think some lesbians may be afraid of being labeled as TERFs, and possibly being targeted.
Because there are some crazy activists out there, who make outrageous threats yet never seem to draw adverse attention from the law.
I am coming across more and more of them. There is definitely a backlash, even from transsexuals who feel that expanded definition of trans + gender ideology is harming them. Brianna Wu is one example. I think that all of this will one day be viewed as a fad (and medical scandal).
The trans cult really is a sick form of conversion therapy. And "pesky cis gays" are considered lesser beings by some in the trans cult, and the "nonbinary" products of gender studies classes, now writing in magazines that are Democrat propaganda, getting paid to write about their party life. (https://www.thecut.com/article/pride-2024-at-the-dyke-march-and-gingers-bar.html )
Meanwhile Fred Sargeant, elderly gay rights pioneer, got physically attacked at a Vermont pride parade, because he doesn't believe children are born in the wrong bodies.
Yes, but a lot of gay / bi / "whatever" - I like that ; ) people have a feminine essence in a masculine body, or vice versa, or somewhere in between, and anyone not masculine male or feminine female, as a young kid today, gets exposed to the thought, "maybe you were born in the wrong body ... you should ruminate on that. And remember, the Coolest, most inspiring, admired, (and protected), people are trans!"
And most kids if left alone, like in a study Dr Miriam Grossman talks about, just end up gay or bi if allowed to go through puberty. It really is madness ...
I love this Andrew, and have lesbian women friends who fit the same bill as your daughter. One of my friends is quite masculine, but she is a woman and has never wanted to be a man. I always think of the Sojourner Truth quote "ain't I a woman?" We needn't narrow our definition and make the requirement of being a woman being "hyper-feminine"!!
I am a single mother of 2 children who are everything to me. When Vance made that comment about “childless cat ladies” I thought—oh! This man values mothers! Then I read his book and knew why.
I cannot understand the constant bad press—they twist everything he says. He’s super smart, talks constantly about how great his wife is, and can hold a baby on his hip. Having been single for so long, I know how to spot a good (taken) man. I’m rooting for him.
I don't get why Vance said such terrible things about Trump, then, presto, he's being asked about all the crazy things Trump says and he even says he makes up stories to get issues talked about, even if the made up stories throw whole sections of communities to the tar and feather crowd.
If you indeed "don't get why" then I suggest you actually look into what you are repeating, instead of just repeating what they say on CNN without questioning.
They are saying just what you said. That is the point. None of it is accurate. He did not say he "made up stories." He specifically clarified to the interviewer that he did not do that. And his negative comment about Trump was what he feared might happen, but did not.
I retired from my career as a pediatric nurse in part because I refused to ask a child the “preferred pronouns” and would not agree to hide such nonsense from parents
The “gender affirming” crap is nothing short of evil
I’ll make a comment on the article in a second but OMG I just saw on CNN a reporter talking to a child that looked like maybe 7-8 years old tops and the reporter was asking the child if he would want to go to somebody’s house whose parents supported Trump. They don’t even try to hide this anymore. I am so disgusted.
But it's great because it's so out in the open. Rush Limbaugh had his following, but he also never let you forget that his program was primarily about Rush Limbaugh, and he wasn't often guilty of depth.
The fact that the news media is as out in the open as it is only provides more impetus for people who love the country to patronize our own media, and to develop more. For example, Matt Walsh's movie is shocking people because it is doing as well as it is. I think that's great.
I agree! Thanks Sasha for reminding me to not to give up and continue to fight this travesty. By the way, vets now recommend that you not spay or neuter your dog until they are fully developed because of significant health issues as they age. And yet, it's OK for our children? Are you serious? I am a Mama Bear, and nothing is more powerful if we unite. Trump should absolutely bring more of us onboard!
Excellent. Today, I heard Hugh Hewitt, whom I like and deplore at the same time, say on his program that he's nervous that Vance may come off a little too tough on Walz in their debate. Hewitt really thinks Americans are inclined to see Walz as "America's grandfather."
It amazes me that such a thick man can have had the kind of career Hewitt has had. You're exactly right, and Vance needs to hang this issue on Walz in the sort of inescapable way in which in some societies of antiquity they used to hang murder on the murderer, by strapping the victim to the killer and forcing the killer to live in that way until the last bits of flesh of the victim and probably the murderer had been taken by vultures.
I think it was in his first Stage of the Union address that National Idiot Joe Biden called trans rights "the defining civil rights issue of our generation."
Leah, what do you make of the incident that happened right after Trump announced Vance as his selection? Tens of thousands of women around America were said to have reacted to Vance as a cobra reacts to a mongoose.
Vance was "awful." He looked so "mean." This was supposed to be a near universal perception among women. News of it vanished quickly. It was superseded by childless cat ladies and that squalling demagogue, Walz's, proclamation that as would have been said in Appalachia when Appalachia was merely backward instead of backward, drug addled, populated only by losers, and despised by The Blob, Vance had "got above his raising" by going to Yale Law School. ( I can say that, because the blood of generations of hillbillies courses through my veins. )
Walz is a lowlife. He started the "weird" defamation. Worst of all in my view, he did what he could to promote the vile lie about Vance and the sofa. I hold him in contempt as I really don't her. I want Vance to leave Walz smeared across the studio floor when they debate. And I haven't noticed anything about the female herd instinct that Vance is "just awful" in at least a month. It was only ever a Blob/media tempest, anyway, I think.
Maybe people should stop relying on the political narratives being pushed by MSM, i.e., Vance, as like with him, and all else frankly, more often than not, they are wrong! I liked Vance from the start and could care less about the smear campaign launched by MSM which would have existed for any VP Trump chose. Just like I do not look to the MSM for feigned polling information -- not just election polling, but favorability polling as well, including for Vance. Similar to the BS polls, including downballot Republicans this election cycle. One only need look to prior election cycles (not midterms). Compare apples to apples. GOP and MAGA need to learn to not let the left push feigned narratives and then be on the defensive in lieu of simply brushing them off. I recall there were talks of asking or seeking Trump to withdraw the nomination. Absurd!! Vance was and is by far the best pick! Someone not beholden to the neocons/admin state; and he's articulate, able to take and respond to any questions, and all else! He's the perfect running mate for Trump hands down! Spread the truth, not doubt or feigned MSM narrative is what we need to continue to do, just like with the subject matter of this thread! Trump is in a spectacular position at present. The internal pollsters for both campaigns know it, as is why media is up to its usual desperate attempts to pull out women from Trump's past and other smear attempts, or pushing the narrative that voters are not going to vote for Trump in NC because allegations re Robinson from 10 year ago. Again, absurd narratives and many Republicans continue to buy into this, hook, line, and sinker! It's part of the election interference to discourage people from voting for Trump and/or perhaps even effect the small number of the electorate who will only want to vote for the candidate they think will win.
Bill Maher is so separated from reality he believes that in October, Trump will throw Vance off the ticket "because he's Trump." I think Vance is great. I didn't think Trump would be shrewd enough to pick him.
The MSM doesn't influence me or anyone I know. But how do you account for the fact that even in the most favorable to Trump polls, it's still a 55 to 45 race? It looks as though the MSM, or TikTok, or both, influence a lot of people.
I would say at present more like 75 to 25 favoring Trump. He is advancing in demographics he did not have in 2016 or 2020. Khameleon is trying to get where Clinton was. I believe the consensus at present for the few trusted sources that are analyzing this race have Trump winning national or close to doing so and winning electoral college by about 312. At present, the more accurate and reliable national polls have Trump up or tied. The most accurate pollster out of them all, Atlas Intel, has Trump up +3; other key state polls have Trump out performing Khameleon in WI, PA, NC, GA, NV, and AZ, albeit there are a lot of left leaning garbage polls, including downballot races. Ignore any polls that Have Khameleon up by more than a point to two nationally or by any greater margin in the battleground states like PA or WI. Khameleon and commie Tim are not going to win PA, like Scranton Joe did who ran as a moderate. She is not fooling the majority of American Electorate beyond those that simply hate Trump. There were some polls that just came out again today, including Fox, which is generally as bad as some of the other institutional polls. Some may not be as purposeful, but like all else, it is no coincidence that the favoritism (haha) always leans to the Dems, and sometimes in double digits. This day in history according to Real Clear Politics (RCP) aggregate of polls, Biden was up +6.9 nationally. He won nationally by 4.5. State polling, especially WI and even PA can be difficult though, and NV as well. Even if Atlas Intel national poll is for instance off by 1-3 points, or Trump loses national vote by 1-2 points, Trump still likely to win electoral college like in 2016, victory vis-a-vie, he would take the Rustbelt, with MI perhaps a fight to the finish, but those states generally vote right of national. That also means if Trump wins +3 Nationally, he will win some of the Rustbelt by +6 and higher. The best way to gauge where the race stands at present is to go to RCP and compare apples to apples, from 2020, 2016, to the present day, e.g., Ipsos, to Ipsos, CNN to CNN.
A lot of people, including in Springfield, OH, prior to Trump or Vance bringing it to national attention, have opined, and continue to do so, on the missing dogs, cats, and geese, and other issues. Given Vance is a Senator from Ohio, the concerns from Springfield's citizens should be addressed; so should the bigger picture of Khameleon and crooked Joe flying in 30,000 migrants a month into the interior of the country and transplanting large masses of them into small communities like Springfield, which is troubling, especially from places like Haiti, or criminals from Venezuela. Not uncommon in Haiti for many in that culture to kill small animals and drink their blood for ritualistic Voodoo ceremonies. Kind of common knowledge. Guess we should trust the MSM as the purveyors of fact that they are, like with the factual reporting for over two years with the Russia Hoax, Hunter's Laptop, or even the recent issues regarding Khameleon's ethnicity, although that is something Black Americans and others have been questioning and debating via social media and other mediums long prior to Trump being asked a loaded question at the NABJ, by a political activists posing as a journalist.
You are likely correct. Maybe he is too nice? Not sure about Hugh being overly optimistic, but I don’t listen to him enough to have a good read on him.
As for the miscreant Cheney’s and Romney, they are best ignored into obscurity! They need and desire attention because they are all extremely narcissistic.
I have some choice and colorful words for evil folks like the Cheney’s and Romney. Some of the seven deadly sins jump out at me.
Thanks for the clarification Bobby. Be well and keep fighting the good fight!
If I had it to write over again, I'd choose another word, probably "maddening." I don't know of anyone who does what he does whom I have higher regard for as a human being. I suppose I haven't forgiven him for his veneration of Mitt Romney.
Hugh is The Establishment Republican, par excellence. Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall his pouring scorn on Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, et al. I know, I know, he wants to be positive, but just a little red meat for the dawgs, please! I also wish he weren't so optimistic.
Holy Shit, Lady! I KNOW this is your BEST EVER! I have never had the courage to say this publicly, but you gave it to me today.
I am a mum. I know quite a few women who desperately wanted to have children and couldn't. They curiously chose to not try to adopt which I will hold judgement on them for now. What I will say is they have no concept of being responsible for a child. I've heard them whine on about how they "understand" what's it's like being a mum because they have nieces and nephews! What? You people are delusional if you think playing with your sister or brother's child is in any way akin to being a mum.
I do not trust women who pretend to care for or want to protect children and had no desire to burden their precious lives with a child of their own. PERIOD!
Heyjude, thank you for voicing exactly what I have been thinking and feeling for years!
The Cackling Moron should have no say whatsoever. She is UNFIT to do anything.
I wonder if those women chose not to adopt because of the hassle and expense. My brother adopted, and it was an expensive nightmare. It's tantamount to baby selling.
Trust me when I say these women can afford to adopt a few children! It wasn’t the expense. It may have been the red tape and hassle. These women are all very well off financially. Money wasn’t the issue.
Two concerns that activists against this madness that add up the same: what are you doing locally for your congressmen & women? The lunatic leftoids have sworn to refuse to certify Trump next January 6th if he wins but they win Congress. Republicans only have to lose FIVE SEATS. They KNOW they will cause an unprecedented constitutional crisis if they do this, but are determined to anyway. However, Nebraska is about to end their status of being one of only two states that don’t have winner take all, and this greatly increases the odds of BOTH candidates getting 269 in the electoral college. Trump is very safe to win over unbounded electors in that event. However, according to the 12th Amendment, Vance & Walz must go on to be elected SEPARATELY by the new session of Congress on January 5th, in which case, a Democrat majority WILL pick Walz. If Given both options They may go for THAT instead of decertification the next day, which would avoid a constitutional crisis, and will cause a NEW kind of trouble for Trump, because he won’t be able to refuse.
Get out and fight for the Republican congressional candidates!
Excellent piece. Add Oprah Winfrey to the list of childless (I see "child free" is now a thing!!!) cat ladies. Is it fair to use "ladies" because many of these people don't act like ladies? The lunatic left is attempting to normalise utter madness but I don't believe more than 50% of the population is brain free.
Another superb article by Sasha! I have to mention that there are "Papa Bears" out there too. When my son was born, our daughter was just two and she was loudly upset that her mama had to stray in the hospital even the one night that she had to stay with Grandma, so Mom went home, and I stayed with our brand-new son. The hospital didn't have any accommodations for fathers, so I stayed in the rocker they had in a waiting room, holding my son and rocking him and feeding him all that night.
People who haven't had children will never know the feelings of completion and connection that children give our lives. Even now, as my daughter has started college, I will respond instantly and if necessary, lethally to any threat to her or my son. At my age, a "Life sentence is just a weekend in the slam".
Sasha, this is definitely one of your best!
Most of us moms had the childless friend or relative who was sure they knew all about raising kids, and couldn’t wait to criticize your parenting skills. I was amazed to find out the people who didn’t have kids were always the ones who knew the most about kids and weren’t shy about sharing their genius.

Exactly. They don’t make a distinction between “babies” and “fur babies”. They are not the same AT ALL.

Like lobotomies. And the victims are permanently disabled.
Gays Against Groomers is vocal. Also the LGB Alliance. And wikipedia / google of course says Gays Against Groomers is hateful, it's the opposite.

Wow! I had no idea sexual identity was so extensive. The kid is a genius.
The people it hurts the most are the gay? What you are attracted to is not the same as the gender you feel you are.
Yes. Gender non-conforming gay kids are being forced into thinking they need to change their bodies.
Yes, but a lot of gay / bi / "whatever" - I like that ; ) people have a feminine essence in a masculine body, or vice versa, or somewhere in between, and anyone not masculine male or feminine female, as a young kid today, gets exposed to the thought, "maybe you were born in the wrong body ... you should ruminate on that.

Imagine straight hunk Olympian Bruce Jenner becoming a lesbian. I never!
Thank God, Andrew. Had your daughter been unfortunate to have the evil brainwashing we are witnessing today--things may have gone sideways.
Congrats, Grandpa! Best job in the world, bro.
I love this Andrew, and have lesbian women friends who fit the same bill as your daughter. One of my friends is quite masculine, but she is a woman and has never wanted to be a man.

Good men are despised by the left. That’s why Vance gets only bad press.
Imo good men are vital to a civilized society. Good men revere women.
A culture that disrespects women is an uncivilized culture. We are headed in that direction now.
Vance is a good, kind man. That is very threatening. The reflection they see is their own depravity. Some people can’t handle the truth.
Precisely! Vance is a good man that conducts himself as a MAN. Not some low T metro-sexual weirdo.
We need men to be men and do manly things.
Funny thing is...women despise these weirdos!
Haha!!
Every word. 🙌🏼
I don't get why Vance said such terrible things about Trump, then, presto, he's being asked about all the crazy things Trump says and he even says he makes up stories to get issues talked about, even if the made up stories throw whole sections of communities to the tar and feather crowd.
If you indeed "don't get why" then I suggest you actually look into what you are repeating, instead of just repeating what they say on CNN without questioning.
So why do you think he changed? What's cnn saying?

So he believes or has proof that Haitians in Springfield are eating pets? I have some swamp land in Florida I'm selling. Interested?
Horrific!
I retired from my career as a pediatric nurse in part because I refused to ask a child the “preferred pronouns” and would not agree to hide such nonsense from parents
The “gender affirming” crap is nothing short of evil
I’ll make a comment on the article in a second but OMG I just saw on CNN a reporter talking to a child that looked like maybe 7-8 years old tops and the reporter was asking the child if he would want to go to somebody’s house whose parents supported Trump. They don’t even try to hide this anymore. I am so disgusted.
But it's great because it's so out in the open. Rush Limbaugh had his following, but he also never let you forget that his program was primarily about Rush Limbaugh, and he wasn't often guilty of depth.
The fact that the news media is as out in the open as it is only provides more impetus for people who love the country to patronize our own media, and to develop more. For example, Matt Walsh's movie is shocking people because it is doing as well as it is. I think that's great.
Thank you for the perspective, Bobby. You are right. My only hope is that those young’ns develop some critical thinking.
I agree! Thanks Sasha for reminding me to not to give up and continue to fight this travesty. By the way, vets now recommend that you not spay or neuter your dog until they are fully developed because of significant health issues as they age. And yet, it's OK for our children? Are you serious? I am a Mama Bear, and nothing is more powerful if we unite. Trump should absolutely bring more of us onboard!
Excellent. Today, I heard Hugh Hewitt, whom I like and deplore at the same time, say on his program that he's nervous that Vance may come off a little too tough on Walz in their debate. Hewitt really thinks Americans are inclined to see Walz as "America's grandfather."
It amazes me that such a thick man can have had the kind of career Hewitt has had. You're exactly right, and Vance needs to hang this issue on Walz in the sort of inescapable way in which in some societies of antiquity they used to hang murder on the murderer, by strapping the victim to the killer and forcing the killer to live in that way until the last bits of flesh of the victim and probably the murderer had been taken by vultures.
I think it was in his first Stage of the Union address that National Idiot Joe Biden called trans rights "the defining civil rights issue of our generation."
For what it's worth I don't see Vance as ever too tough. Even with Dana Bash his counters with her were gentle. He's not a mean guy.
He’s a softy, especially with women. Makes sense since he was raised by his sister and grandmother.
Leah, what do you make of the incident that happened right after Trump announced Vance as his selection? Tens of thousands of women around America were said to have reacted to Vance as a cobra reacts to a mongoose.
Vance was "awful." He looked so "mean." This was supposed to be a near universal perception among women. News of it vanished quickly. It was superseded by childless cat ladies and that squalling demagogue, Walz's, proclamation that as would have been said in Appalachia when Appalachia was merely backward instead of backward, drug addled, populated only by losers, and despised by The Blob, Vance had "got above his raising" by going to Yale Law School. ( I can say that, because the blood of generations of hillbillies courses through my veins. )
Walz is a lowlife. He started the "weird" defamation. Worst of all in my view, he did what he could to promote the vile lie about Vance and the sofa. I hold him in contempt as I really don't her. I want Vance to leave Walz smeared across the studio floor when they debate. And I haven't noticed anything about the female herd instinct that Vance is "just awful" in at least a month. It was only ever a Blob/media tempest, anyway, I think.
Do you think I am right?
Maybe people should stop relying on the political narratives being pushed by MSM, i.e., Vance, as like with him, and all else frankly, more often than not, they are wrong! I liked Vance from the start and could care less about the smear campaign launched by MSM which would have existed for any VP Trump chose. Just like I do not look to the MSM for feigned polling information -- not just election polling, but favorability polling as well, including for Vance. Similar to the BS polls, including downballot Republicans this election cycle. One only need look to prior election cycles (not midterms). Compare apples to apples. GOP and MAGA need to learn to not let the left push feigned narratives and then be on the defensive in lieu of simply brushing them off. I recall there were talks of asking or seeking Trump to withdraw the nomination. Absurd!! Vance was and is by far the best pick! Someone not beholden to the neocons/admin state; and he's articulate, able to take and respond to any questions, and all else! He's the perfect running mate for Trump hands down! Spread the truth, not doubt or feigned MSM narrative is what we need to continue to do, just like with the subject matter of this thread! Trump is in a spectacular position at present. The internal pollsters for both campaigns know it, as is why media is up to its usual desperate attempts to pull out women from Trump's past and other smear attempts, or pushing the narrative that voters are not going to vote for Trump in NC because allegations re Robinson from 10 year ago. Again, absurd narratives and many Republicans continue to buy into this, hook, line, and sinker! It's part of the election interference to discourage people from voting for Trump and/or perhaps even effect the small number of the electorate who will only want to vote for the candidate they think will win.
Bill Maher is so separated from reality he believes that in October, Trump will throw Vance off the ticket "because he's Trump." I think Vance is great. I didn't think Trump would be shrewd enough to pick him.
The MSM doesn't influence me or anyone I know. But how do you account for the fact that even in the most favorable to Trump polls, it's still a 55 to 45 race? It looks as though the MSM, or TikTok, or both, influence a lot of people.
I would say at present more like 75 to 25 favoring Trump. He is advancing in demographics he did not have in 2016 or 2020. Khameleon is trying to get where Clinton was. I believe the consensus at present for the few trusted sources that are analyzing this race have Trump winning national or close to doing so and winning electoral college by about 312. At present, the more accurate and reliable national polls have Trump up or tied. The most accurate pollster out of them all, Atlas Intel, has Trump up +3; other key state polls have Trump out performing Khameleon in WI, PA, NC, GA, NV, and AZ, albeit there are a lot of left leaning garbage polls, including downballot races. Ignore any polls that Have Khameleon up by more than a point to two nationally or by any greater margin in the battleground states like PA or WI. Khameleon and commie Tim are not going to win PA, like Scranton Joe did who ran as a moderate. She is not fooling the majority of American Electorate beyond those that simply hate Trump. There were some polls that just came out again today, including Fox, which is generally as bad as some of the other institutional polls. Some may not be as purposeful, but like all else, it is no coincidence that the favoritism (haha) always leans to the Dems, and sometimes in double digits. This day in history according to Real Clear Politics (RCP) aggregate of polls, Biden was up +6.9 nationally. He won nationally by 4.5. State polling, especially WI and even PA can be difficult though, and NV as well. Even if Atlas Intel national poll is for instance off by 1-3 points, or Trump loses national vote by 1-2 points, Trump still likely to win electoral college like in 2016, victory vis-a-vie, he would take the Rustbelt, with MI perhaps a fight to the finish, but those states generally vote right of national. That also means if Trump wins +3 Nationally, he will win some of the Rustbelt by +6 and higher. The best way to gauge where the race stands at present is to go to RCP and compare apples to apples, from 2020, 2016, to the present day, e.g., Ipsos, to Ipsos, CNN to CNN.
He's hard with men and soft with women.
Isn't Vance the one that keeps talking about dogs and cats?
A lot of people, including in Springfield, OH, prior to Trump or Vance bringing it to national attention, have opined, and continue to do so, on the missing dogs, cats, and geese, and other issues. Given Vance is a Senator from Ohio, the concerns from Springfield's citizens should be addressed; so should the bigger picture of Khameleon and crooked Joe flying in 30,000 migrants a month into the interior of the country and transplanting large masses of them into small communities like Springfield, which is troubling, especially from places like Haiti, or criminals from Venezuela. Not uncommon in Haiti for many in that culture to kill small animals and drink their blood for ritualistic Voodoo ceremonies. Kind of common knowledge. Guess we should trust the MSM as the purveyors of fact that they are, like with the factual reporting for over two years with the Russia Hoax, Hunter's Laptop, or even the recent issues regarding Khameleon's ethnicity, although that is something Black Americans and others have been questioning and debating via social media and other mediums long prior to Trump being asked a loaded question at the NABJ, by a political activists posing as a journalist.
You are likely correct. Maybe he is too nice? Not sure about Hugh being overly optimistic, but I don’t listen to him enough to have a good read on him.
As for the miscreant Cheney’s and Romney, they are best ignored into obscurity! They need and desire attention because they are all extremely narcissistic.
I have some choice and colorful words for evil folks like the Cheney’s and Romney. Some of the seven deadly sins jump out at me.
Thanks for the clarification Bobby. Be well and keep fighting the good fight!
You, as well!
Interesting, Bobby. I am curious as to why you think Hugh Hewitt is "thick?" Did I misunderstand your comment?
If I had it to write over again, I'd choose another word, probably "maddening." I don't know of anyone who does what he does whom I have higher regard for as a human being. I suppose I haven't forgiven him for his veneration of Mitt Romney.
Hugh is The Establishment Republican, par excellence. Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall his pouring scorn on Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, et al. I know, I know, he wants to be positive, but just a little red meat for the dawgs, please! I also wish he weren't so optimistic.
Otherwise, I am sorry, Hugh.
"CHILDREN CAN’T CONSENT. When did we abandon that basic principle?"
It went the way of all of our other foundational principles, tossed aside by the Regime as outdated:
-the presumption of innocence
-the rule of law
-popular sovereignty
-freedom of speech
Brilliant! Thankful that you gave this issue the time it deserves! No other person I follow puts productions together like you! You are very gifted!
Pleeeease try to get this to Trump. This is an amazing idea. It is essential that he push this message. Thank you!
Holy Shit, Lady! I KNOW this is your BEST EVER! I have never had the courage to say this publicly, but you gave it to me today.
I am a mum. I know quite a few women who desperately wanted to have children and couldn't. They curiously chose to not try to adopt which I will hold judgement on them for now. What I will say is they have no concept of being responsible for a child. I've heard them whine on about how they "understand" what's it's like being a mum because they have nieces and nephews! What? You people are delusional if you think playing with your sister or brother's child is in any way akin to being a mum.
I do not trust women who pretend to care for or want to protect children and had no desire to burden their precious lives with a child of their own. PERIOD!
Heyjude, thank you for voicing exactly what I have been thinking and feeling for years!
The Cackling Moron should have no say whatsoever. She is UNFIT to do anything.
I wonder if those women chose not to adopt because of the hassle and expense. My brother adopted, and it was an expensive nightmare. It's tantamount to baby selling.
It truly was a miracle that I was able to get pregnant and have a child. I am so grateful.
My son just called me for advice about a woman in his life! I reminded him that I am not the norm, so take my advice with some pause.
I am not being arrogant at all. I am an outlier as far as females are concerned.
I want my son to have different expectations than what our twisted and messed up society has done to our youth.
I am a very strong and disagreeable personality. That doesn’t mean I am not female. No labels are a good thing.
Trust me when I say these women can afford to adopt a few children! It wasn’t the expense. It may have been the red tape and hassle. These women are all very well off financially. Money wasn’t the issue.
“It’s a crisis of faith” full stop.
100 percent, Erika. The Libtards are so desparate to believe in something and anything. The empty vessel usually gets filled with evil.
Two concerns that activists against this madness that add up the same: what are you doing locally for your congressmen & women? The lunatic leftoids have sworn to refuse to certify Trump next January 6th if he wins but they win Congress. Republicans only have to lose FIVE SEATS. They KNOW they will cause an unprecedented constitutional crisis if they do this, but are determined to anyway. However, Nebraska is about to end their status of being one of only two states that don’t have winner take all, and this greatly increases the odds of BOTH candidates getting 269 in the electoral college. Trump is very safe to win over unbounded electors in that event. However, according to the 12th Amendment, Vance & Walz must go on to be elected SEPARATELY by the new session of Congress on January 5th, in which case, a Democrat majority WILL pick Walz. If Given both options They may go for THAT instead of decertification the next day, which would avoid a constitutional crisis, and will cause a NEW kind of trouble for Trump, because he won’t be able to refuse.
Get out and fight for the Republican congressional candidates!
Excellent piece. Add Oprah Winfrey to the list of childless (I see "child free" is now a thing!!!) cat ladies. Is it fair to use "ladies" because many of these people don't act like ladies? The lunatic left is attempting to normalise utter madness but I don't believe more than 50% of the population is brain free.
from your mouth to Trumps ear. Beautifully written, read every word. You are smart, courageous and hold truth. god bless you!
Another superb article by Sasha! I have to mention that there are "Papa Bears" out there too. When my son was born, our daughter was just two and she was loudly upset that her mama had to stray in the hospital even the one night that she had to stay with Grandma, so Mom went home, and I stayed with our brand-new son. The hospital didn't have any accommodations for fathers, so I stayed in the rocker they had in a waiting room, holding my son and rocking him and feeding him all that night.
People who haven't had children will never know the feelings of completion and connection that children give our lives. Even now, as my daughter has started college, I will respond instantly and if necessary, lethally to any threat to her or my son. At my age, a "Life sentence is just a weekend in the slam".
