"Maybe he’s lying like all politicians do. I’m not expecting much. But I know ending the madness of the Left matters to me most of all."

Beautifully put. You don't need to believe that Donald Trump can Make America Great again to vote for him. Just that he will make America kind of "normal" again like it used to be in the good old days.

Even "Make America Normal Again" seems like a tall mountain to climb considering on how badly American culture has been debased.

Ben, I assume your “grab them” comment refers to Bill Clinton, accused of rape and multiple sexual assaults, vilifying the victims, proven liar about sexual misconduct in the Oval Office with a 22-year-old intern. The Democrats still adore him, but then he was a strong supporter of abortion, so the entire Democrat political machine defended him, including feminists and the media.

Don't talk to me about decency when we have a President credible accused of sexual assault by Tara Reade whose own daughter wrote that he showered with her inappropriately.

All you needed to have said Greg B is "he is a Democrat politician" to explain the undying and eternal loyalty no matter the transgression. Might also have been referring to Joe B and little girls, including the one who wrote the infamous family diary...

I never saw Obama as a messiah. Trump worshipers made a video which Trump reposted: "And on June 14, 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, 'I need a caretaker.' So God gave us Trump.

God said, ‘I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, fix this country, work all day, fight the Marxists, eat supper, then go to the Oval Office and stay up past midnight at a meeting of the heads of state.’ So God made Trump.” It continues: created by God to "fight the Marxists" and "call out the fake news" "arms strong enough to rustle the Deep State and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. for their tongues as sharp as a serpent's." "arms strong enough to rustle the Deep State and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild." LOL!

And yet you still can't argue on his policies and accomplishments. The mere fact that you just dedicated such a long expanse of text to *prove* that you *aren't a cultist*, betrays your dishonesty, mightily, lol.

And there were people who thought Obama could control the seas and was the Messiah. Even TV commentators who should have been neutral saying Obama’s election gave them “Tingles” up their legs. Are you like that, are you one of them?

NOPE, you are addled and indoctrinated if you believe what you said.

We all know how not perfect Trump is, but being too direct, speaking truth without thinking, coarse language and mean tweets as well as caring about America , instead of dissing America, makes Trump our best choice.

There is no cult and no one worships him. We would like a smother more polished fellow, but Trump is the best choice available , if you can actually think for yourself.

Based on your comment I assume you lt others provide you with your opinion and do your thinking for you.

The real cult, the one that they project onto Trump's supporters, are the alleged millions of *voters, who quite literally elder-abused a long-known dementia victim---and twice failed Pres candidate, ousted by even the media over his plagiarism and pathological lying---into an office THEY KNEW he couldn't execute.

You do realize that that is a Paul Harvey bit from the 1960's called "God Made A Farmer," everyone who's of a certain age knows it, and they just used AI to substitute "farmer" with "Trump." It's an in-joke. But I'm sure you were completely ignorant of that, so it seemed crazy to you. The rest of us took it for what it was. Funny.

okay, fair enough. btw, as a side bar, about one year after Mike's brag, the boys got drunk and recorded the 'Beach Boys Party' album, and when they sang the same line in "I get Around," --"and we never missed yet with the ...girls we pick up on the street" they answered in the background: "not much..." so, you see, there was some knowing humanity there.

I wonder if you guys can admit something today, as well, and give our CA governor some deserved credit. last week, there was a protest where the Golden Gate Bridge was blocked. okay, I'm anti-war, no problem so far. Police clear, etc. not this time, because they brought and abandoned some cheap cars, brought out some buckets with concrete, rebarr and chaines, so that the bridge was paralyzed for hours before safety-considering responders could cut and weld out. The recommendation today is that those kept for more than 3 hours, should file an unlawful imprisonment lawsuit against these bleephole protesters. I 100 percebnt agree that there needs to be a precedent that just because you're blue team, and you pretend a back-patting moral purpose, you do not have the right to do anything you want if it curtails the civil liberties of others. do you think Fox News will say, 'way to go, Gavin'? They should.

Our Constitution grants every US Citizen a right to unrestricted travel. Anyone blocking roads is therefore violating your Constitutional rights - a form of "kidnapping" or at least restraint. While I don't necessarily fall completely into the camp saying "just run them over" (which, if you feel threatened, is covered your right to self defense - but be prepared for leftitst to persecute and prosecute you anyway), I do strongly believe that the police have a right to use immediate force to incarcerate such terrorists with no discussion.

agreed. this was worse than making your point and getting the media coverage, worse than even knocking out all the windows on (innocent) Market Street mom and pop stores, because when it took hours, and the local mole people had rare sunshine (from Houston perspective), there could have been deaths.

again, I am sympathetic to the anti-(forever) war thought, though. the blue team media now charges the red team with 'isolationism', and has only the congress people on who are advocating essentially war on three different continents including Asia. ((r) next to his name Lawlor went on about China buying things from Iran means China is as bad as Iran. (so does that mean, everything we buy, what about when we buy oil from the beheading Arab nations?). the only peace dem, was forced out of the blue team, and on the day, he qualified for the Michigan ballot, EVERY blue state media channel wanted to talk to his family who prefers Biden. plus, did you know since 2023 (that's what the selective service registry new law says--you want to call it a Biden law, I'm fine with that...), 18 year males only, (geez, maybe going trans is an option...) are forced to register for the draft again, or else threat threat threat. that's what the thing in the mail to two of my teen male kids just said. you think the blue team media (with one of us in office) would question US entering into WWIII? you know, as leader of the free world, to protect our friends, to prevent all the baddies from ....whatever it was, we prevented Vietnam/Iraq/and Afghanistan from doing with our kids' deaths... ?

PC, Political Correctness, was the camel’s nose under the tent, creeping in, bit by bit beginning in earnest in the 70’s. It was a deliberate and calculated effort by the Left to get control of and manipulate the minds of Americans into the early stages of the entire Leftist agenda, carefully choreographed with a compliant media to daily reinforce its message, laying the groundwork for all that was to come, and where we find ourselves today. It subtly, covertly, day in and day out, reinforced what were all the “right things to think, to want, to believe in”. It was a Master Class in mind control.

The first step for each of us in taking back America is to free our minds from its grip, to no longer fear to speak our minds, but to speak the truth, no matter who it offends because the truth is the only thing that will set you free.

I hate them, but the nuttiest ones really do believe Trump is a fascist dictator and to mandate masks and anti-gluton and ...trans surgeries by demand of 11 year-olds, etc., is their sincere effort at (dare I say it?) morality... I am all for you telling them they suq, and surely if the blue team loses this time, I will tell them it's their fault. but I do not know how to 'talk sense to them'. today, tomorrow, and forever, they believe that the movie 'Civll War' is non-fiction with red states the villains.

Do you believe a partial birth abortion, where the baby is full term and they crack their skull? Please explain why that is not murder since, if left to Nature, the baby would live.

Please don’t be indirect or evasive. I assume if you are pro-abortion you are pro-abortion up to and including the 9th month? (That’s a second question). Here’s a snippet from Wikipedia. “Decompression of the skull can be accomplished by incision and suction of the brain or by using forceps to collapse the skull.”

Sincerely, I don't believe people should tell other people what to do on private, personal medical decision matters, and especially not on grounds that they believe they are more moral than you, so you cannot be allowed to make your own choice. (I suspect you are concocting a very extreme and unrepresentative example for rhetorical purposes. However, even in that extreme case, I would not personally be in favor of forced birth after incest and rape and whatnot. I'd advise my daughter or daughter in law to crack away...

In addition, as a male, I never had an abortion myself. So, just so we're on the same page, here, it would not be me doing the cracking, or even making the choice of whether to crack or not to crack (in extreme cases of rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother).

Expand full comment

If the example is so "extreme" why not just dismiss it by saying that in no way would you condone such barbarity? But here you are, trying to diminish a practice that actually exists, because of people like you, while trying to frame those who consider abortion murder as the extremists.

If the woman was raped or subjected to incest don't you think she would make the decision for an abortion sooner rather than later? Why does she need 4, 5, 6 , months or more to make up her mind for such an egregious violation of her body? Your argument does not hold water. Life of the mother, then yes, there are hard decisions to be made and that should be determined by the doctor and the patient.

The NY Times best seller list is easily manipulated. In addition its rarely about the number of books sold.
