Last June, a student planned to quote Trump in his seventh grade valedictory remarks. The quote itself was innocuous (about achievement and soaring to great heights) but the absolute meltdown and freak out by the teachers was something to behold! Tears, threats to boycott the graduation and protestations to administrators. These teachers pulled out all the stops to prevent this 13-year old student from saying, “the view is great from up here.” To his credit, he was undeterred and ended his speech quoting DJT. The audience roared with laughter and the graduation continued. That kid had more courage than any adult in the room! It’s still a taboo subject as the subject matter inspires such wrath and hysteria.

Another unintended consequence of the Trump presidency: showing everyone just how “activist” K-12 education has become.

What a pitiful sad display by these teachers. Obviously so afraid of the leadership skills of a 13 yo, they freak out in fear. Congrats to that young man with more gumption than his teachers.

What do you suppose the ‘link’ is between DJT serving fries at McDonald’s this past weekend, epic troll of Harris - and now today, the CDC issuing an E Coli warning against McDonald’s Quarter Pounders across several western states, including a reported 1 death?

McDonald’s stock down -10% so far, after hours.

Post Covid, I trust the CDC about as far as I can spit. The conspiracy tendency in me thinks this is about new Google searches for ‘McDonald’s’ ensures this E. coli story hits the eyeballs of the uninformed first, instead of being presented w/ DJT serving up fries in a McDonald’s apron. And will this E Coli concern ‘resolve’ as soon as the voting is over…?

The link is obvious…Biden-Harris demanded they speak out loudly about this outbreak. Dems doing what they always do. Trump was getting way too much traction from his McDonalds event, so they use CDC to attack. I wouldn’t put anything past them. CDC is corrupt and doesn’t care about our safety…which they proved in spades over their tyrannical covid protocols and mandates.

Three US Senators, including Ron Wyden from my home state, also sent a letter to McDonald’s today demanding answers why the cost of their food is so damn high. Seems several parts of the Establishment received their marching orders to go slap Ronald’s hand.

Hold on to your butts:

Halperin timestap 5:15 - 6:30 says: "The Atlantic article by Jeffrey Goldberg who runs the Atlantic. And that story, as The Atlantic has done in the past, that story has headlines or blind quotes rather, from people alleging Donald Trump said things that are quite provocative, racially charged, disrespetctful of the military. The Atlaintic has run stories like this before. The Trump campaign says the quotes are made up, the stories are made up. I don't want to get into the details of The Atlantic story, I don't have time to do reporting myself []. But it's the kind of story that Republicans look at and get furious, and it's a kind of story that Democrats believe will finally open the eyes of those American who still vote for DT, because they argue they reveal who he really is. These last 2 weeks will be filled with things like this, and I can tell you, without going into detail, that I've been pitched stories about DT for about a week that, if true, would end his campaign. And there's all sorts of things like that flying around" 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vXVB1AIims

So his audience is now in a tizzy and drags him for rumor-mongering, like, what's the point if you won't say what the stories say?

But anyway, this line of attack is what's been going on for 9 years. Halperin says about The Atlantic article "blind quotes alleging" so that doesn't sound like they have a soundbite or a video that proves the claim. They allege. But it's about emotion. So be ready.

That said, some of his viewers tried the WhataboutDoughEmhoff and I want to remind everyone that Emhoff is not on the ballot. Going after him for alleged slapping is futile. If the candidate slapped someone on tape than yeah but husband? Irrelevant.

I pay elementary, junior high, and even high school teachers no credence unless they are logical, reasonable, and actually scientific in their thinking. As a Ph.D. scientist I briefly taught high school chemistry after having an industrial career coupled with teaching college students part-time. I left the high school job, as that was all it was to me, a job, to teach college full-time for over 20 years afterwards. Most of my college teaching years were far more rewarding as high school adminstrators engage full board in politics and parent pleasing. My college faculty days were however uniquely tainted by a particular group of students I taught for years in a required physical science course. Although they were initially a great cohort of people in general, after about 5 or 6 years into my career there or so these individuals (not the same exact folks, obviously) became the worst bunch of human beings overall that I have ever encountered, including overly demanding high school parents. It could have been generational as it did trickle down to my other science major classes, but those students had to work hard to remain in a gatekeeper course so it was fish or cut bait time for them. The others, elementary education majors, had the most entitled, disrepectful, condescending attitudes towards me as a faculty member, and it occured immediately on the first meet, not before finals where we had a chance to know each other. One particular class was 100% female, and I was on the defensive simply because I was male. I was extremely matter of fact with them, even providing extra help sessions on my off days. None of it helped with evaluations, as most wanted good grades just for showing up. "The great I ams" a colleague referred to them as. The only thing being professional did for me was to avoid official complaints. The cheating incidents were also rampant, as they clearly could not handle the coursework, too much basic applied mathematics for their liking.

My first husband was a high school FL teacher who went to college in the 1960s, and he once remarked that his "dumbest" group of classmates were the elementary ed. majors. Fast-forward 50 years and they're still mediocre but now also woke.

Oh yes. That has been a scandal hiding in plain sight for years. Basically this country used to get by by forcing smart women into being teachers because upper middle class jobs were regarded as limited to men. As that came to be no longer true, we should have raised the standards, which would have meant raising the pay. But instead we just got "dumbing down". By the time I was in high-school, the declining quality of the student teachers was quite apparent. "You get what you pay for".

Nice commentary. The Left continues to practice its "confession through projection"; that is, accusing others of the very things they are doing. If Trump wins, it will be interesting to watch while the progressive left allows "mostly peaceful protests" to go like they did a couple of summers ago. The democrats practice fascist ploys and traits but call Trump the fascist. (I doubt they even know what fascism really is. They practice it but call is progressive liberalism.) I still have trouble wondering how so called intelligent people can't see what the far left and its media accomplices are doing. Too bad there isn't a vaccine against TDS.

Trump is no saint. That said, please vote for Trump: Kamala is much worse! Voting Trump means half a million abortions. Voting Kamala, means a million: you'd be "saving" 500,000 babies a year!

Trump is no saint. But at least he's not as evil as Kamala. By not voting, we actually vote by letting “worst” defeat “bad”. Better “bad” than “worst”, right? Plus, half a million babies per year would be grateful for sparing their lives, right?

Alexis de Tocqueville has a great quote on this subject: “I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run.”

For those who don't believe that Trump is a dictator, the choice is actually quite simple and doesn't involve any moral reasoning. "Do you want the current regime for another 8 years?" or "do you want change and a fresh election in 4 years?". Harris is eligible for 2 terms (with incumbents typically re-elected for the second term), Trump for only 1 term.

What this election revealed for me was something truly heartening: that racism is NOT universal as they want us to believe and more people are like me than not. I honestly was feeling that I was a rare bird, and I definitely have been scoffed at and ridiculed for thinking the color of one’s skin does not matter. I have been accused of being part of the problem believing that. I have never seen people through a lens of the color of their skin, I only see their spirits through their eyes. I can smile and cheer for and love the beauty portrayed by a person of any color in the same way I can by a white person, and I can be repulsed by a bad actor with white skin (of which there are MANY on the left) just as much as I can by another color or race. It’s your actions and your spirit that matter to me.

This election is showing me that there are MORE people like me than not, I am not alone or even unique. And that makes me feel warmth and joy in my heart and puts a grin on my face for all of us. I love watching us all feel the same way and the dancing video at the end proves what I’m saying. We are more united than they want us to be, than they want us to believe. Don’t fall for the theory that race matters, that you can’t ignore skin color. That’s hogwash.

Let me try a different way. Trump is 78 years old. He's cancelling events, according to his campaign, due to exhaustion. He stood bobbing his head to music for 39 minutes at a town hall. His crowd sizes are dwindling. He wasn't able to answer questions at the Economic Club event, instead lashing out at the moderator. He sells $3 bibles from China for $60. With Trump, it's the grift, the con, fleecing his own supporters. These next two weeks, you and magaland are just PRAYING he makes it to election day without a medical or emotional or mental breakdown.

You obviously didn’t watch the Bloomberg Economic Club forum or you wouldn’t make that claim.

Let’s disabuse you of some of your rote points:

His rallies and crowds are as large as ever. He is as popular as ever.

He paused one of his rallies for (39 minutes, ok) to allow medical personnel to assist some people in the audience who experienced a medical emergency (commonly, fainting) and graciously Trump didn’t keep speaking while the medical personnel gave assistance. so he tuned up the music for all to enjoy. For 39 mins. Wow.

The ‘exhaustion’ talking point is from the Left. Trump has worked the last 52 days straight campaigning and meeting with groups & voters.

No one cares about the Bible cost thing.

All polling shows a strong showing for Trump. Sounds like you’re the one who’ll be having an emotional breakdown when he becomes president. Again.

College educated stiffs as my father referred to them, are not necessarily intelligent nor educated, merely credentialed. Education one must obtain for themselves by themselves usually, and mandatory compulsory attendance does not achieve that end, obviously. With the variety of dummy majors today, the uninformed, unintelligent, IEP laden society that we have become can all go to college. Once they remove merit, GPA which is a joke today, and the GRE standardized type testing (SAT, ACT at the high school level) then incompetence will both ruin and run everything. They are not smart individuals they are crowd pleasers and mob followers, and it does not take any intellect to do that. They also know exactly what they are doing to a certain extent, so pleased don't underestimate them, as I am sure you do not given your brilliant "projection" comments (just crediting you in quotations is all). If they had any real true talent, then they would use it for productive purposes. Only the voluntarily unemployed have time to protest and can afford to be 'homeless', or drug addicts.

I travelled around the world backpacking for 2 years back in the late 90's. One of my favorite questions to other backpackers (they were all Kiwis, Aussies, or Europeans as Americans didn't backpack) was what percentage of Americans were black? Most of them imagined it was 40%. I figured that this was because in the USA we air our dirty laundry. Racism was a long held issue and we talked about it incessantly. Most other places rarely have national discussions about their problems. It is 14% BTW.

Most of the world consumes our media and believes it to be an accurate representation of our country. It is not. It is entertainment and propaganda. Not necessarily in that order.

Yes, the inflated 40% estimate is the result of constantly harping on a single theme.

Trusting the science (or 'SOY ence' if you are Anthony Fauci) is hazardous. Medical schools in the US are heavily influenced (and financed) by Big Pharma and the Rockefeller Foundation, neither of which have the best interests of patients as their core goal. This is especially true of oncology.

Most physicians receive very little nutrition science, and what they do get is funded by the same or related organizations. Proper nutrition and health maintenance should be fundamental to any specialization in medicine, but sick care is much more profitable than health care.

As with everything in the US, it is just another racket, not as profitable as war and regime changing, but it still delivers high margins to the shareholders, and that is all that really matters in crony capitalist America.

Fortunately many more people see this now.

Also the US is the 800 pound gorilla which alone makes him the most important. It's not like they don't tell the same lies about Le Pen, or Orban or Farage or whoever is leading the AfD.

Great podcast on Benny Johnson today.

Every populist leader in the entire world has been either assasinated (Japan), stabbed (Hungary/Brazil), thrown in jail (Pakistan/Brazil) or "lawfared" (every other populist) LePen is facing 75 yrs, Trump is facing 20 yrs (life), Orban is facing 20 yrs, Ishram (sp)(Pakistan) is in jail as we type, facing life.

Almost like it's a globalist plan or something Nah, couldn't be that.

As JFK said those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.

I have voted democrat, independent, libertarian and republican throughout my life (living in a closed primary state) with the same feeling that most politicians are sociopaths, and they want war, as war profiteers, which is really sick.

I was still a democrat when I voted for Trump in 2016 because Hillary was clearly a globalist and anti-American (and likely a murderer) but I was scared when I voted for Trump – he’s a mean celebrity. When Trump started putting lots of globalists in his cabinet, I thought that he is no different either. He did make some improvements, bigly, and maybe the biggest improvement was no further war during his presidency. Now, I don’t think he realized what he was up against, as Schumer told him “they” have seven ways to Sunday to get you.

Trump does know what he’s up against now and does have smart people behind him now, especially Elon. If Elon can get rid of 85% of the useless corrupt government, we may be on to something new.

But, this division has been going on since our founding and America’s Founders (both Federalists and “Anti-Federalists”) documented their disagreements in creating a new federal, central government in the Federalist Papers and the The-Anti-Federalist-Papers.” It’s all there in the Anti-Federalist Papers. They warned us that establishing a central government would be dangerous as it could grow too big and corrupt. Obviously, we did not heed the warnings from the “Anti-Federalists” that the central government would grow too big and corrupt. Until we get rid of the problem (big, central government), nothing will change.

But how many of us have read the Anti-Federalist Papers? Robert Yates nailed it over and over again like he was a prophet. https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/name-that-anti-federalist?r=76q58

A wonderful article. "Trump Derangement Syndrome: Is There A Cure in Sight?" could be the title of a Reader's Digest Article. Sadly, I think it's too deep for that. I can understand that Trump would bother people who are old and who approach life from a Christian mindset, because I am such a person. I wish to Heaven he could restrain himself from oratorical bon bons like the Arnold Palmer anecdote, but God knows there are far greater means of our degradation on every hand.

I think that the origin of TDS can most accurately be likened to the story told by the great movie, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." It hasn't happened that all of the deranged Trump haters are pods who have displaced their personae, with the personae having been vacuumed up back into the astrovoid. It does seem as if it might have happened, but my much stronger inclination is to think that something specially demonic has been loosed upon the land, novel for us to try to deal with. I'm ready to start brandishing crucifixes at them.

My parents are 84 and 82 and the Arnold Palmer anecdote reminds me of their family get togethers of weekly Canasta card games; as a kid I’d wander in catching the tail end of some ribald joke they’d all be belly laughing about. Something my young ears weren’t totally privy to, so they said.

The Silent Generation has its share of humor, ribald jokes and stories retold with mirth and a wink. At 11 I was shocked my mom wore a shirt that said, ‘Save Water, Shower with a Friend’. Outdoors! And even though my dad is staunch Union blue through and through, I know he’d get a kick out of the Arnold Palmer story.

So, after that little anecdote, I have to say yes I agree just a wee bit that sometimes I wish Donald Trump was a bit more restrained. But then iI suppose he wouldn’t be Donald Trump.

"Invasion of the Body Snatchers" Hmm, I think you might be on to something.

“I'm ready to start brandishing crucifixes at them.“ 🤣🤣🤣

Those old sci-fi movies were great. Love them, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers is one of the best. A more recent sci-fi is also apt: “They Live.” Too bad John Carpenter is apparently an anti Trumper.
