“So what’s new? I haven’t seen a paper in days,” as a very old joke went. Anyway, as a change of pace today, here’s my latest “Has to be Said” blog post.
FIRST, FOR OVERSEAS READERS – Trump supporters are basing that support on THE FOUR YEARS HE ALREADY HAD IN OFFICE, not on “promises”, like anti-Trump fanatics pretend.
Those same four years that he already had in office are also why we know he won’t act like the authoritarian fascists of the Kamala Harris-Joe Biden Regime.
REMEMBER THAT EVEN IF TRUMP DOES NOT GET BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE, YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO GET AWAY FROM HIS NAME BEING IN THE NEWS. Democrats have seen how well they can work their conformist sheep into a frenzy using Trump’s name. They will go on using his name in political campaigns against every male and female candidate who could remotely be construed as ever having agreed with President Trump on any issue.
And by the way, remember when it looked for a brief time that DeSantis might beat Trump for the Republican nomination for 2024? IF YOU’LL RECALL, THE DEMOCRATS WERE IMMEDIATELY COMPARING HIM TO HITLER AND WERE CALLING HIM “WORSE THAN TRUMP.”
AND NO MATTER WHO THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IS FOR THE OPPOSITION PARTY … be ready for the usual endless screeching and propagandistic comparisons of that candidate to Hitler, Mussolini and others. IT WILL CONTINUE. The Democrats have been doing that at increasingly shrill levels for the past few decades.
REMEMBER IN 2016 WHEN DEMOCRATS WERE CONVINCED THAT CAREER CRIMINAL HILLARY CLINTON WOULD WIN?
THEIR MEDIA OUTLETS WERE SUPPORTING THE NOTION THAT SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO PARDON HERSELF TO GET OUT FROM UNDER ALL THE INVESTIGATIONS AGAINST HER. But you can bet that they’ll be pretending a potential Trump self-pardon would be outrageous and unspeakable. Possibly even grounds for another (yaaawwwn) impeachment.
FAR TOO MANY OF AMERICA’S CAREER POLITICIANS FROM BOTH MAJOR PARTIES ARE PART OF THE SAME CESSPOOL OF WHITE-COLLAR CRIMINALS. One of Donald Trump’s many features as a candidate is that he has NOT spent decades in office wallowing in corruption like the Bidens and Pelosis (Democrats) or the Bushes and Cheneys (Republicans).

I remember well how the Hillary Clinton campaign forced the Sanders campaign in favour of Hilary!
We might have some differences, Sir, but I value your opinions and appreciate your friendship.
I also speak of my beliefs in democracy, referencing the quotes attributed to Voltaire but actually said by Evelyn Beatrice Hall:
“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it!”
I wish you all the best.
Thank you very much! I have always respected you, too, and I have always lived by that quote, too! Have a great week! I really enjoy your blog and you may have noticed I even hit like on your posts that differ from my own opinions.
Of course, my friend and I appreciate it a lot. Have a great week ahead.🤙🙏
You too, friend! None of what I posted was aimed at you, but at fanatics who email me and comment in threatening terms just because I support Trump.
We both know who they are!! 🤙🤗
Yes we do! 😀

Logged, thank you sir!
Please prepare a Doomsday Post to tell me What the H*** to do if he loses.
Ha! I’ll see what I can do!
Regardless of who wins, I am seeing the USA [and it is a shame] going down the same path as Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and USSR. There is no coexistence with evil. Whether it is gradual, immediate, violent or peaceful remains to be seen. Everyone [including the corrupt politicians] will find out and it will be too late when they [including the politicians] and their future generations have to work in a factory located in Russia, China, Irán or North Korea with no rights. While those who crossed the borders and their descendents will live in what will replace the USA as millionaires
I certainly agree. Back in 2014 I posted a mock interview with “the Democrat Party” in which I had the Party dismiss Americans and say that they (The Party) would be around long after “the geopolitical entity called the United States” is no longer around.
Yes and no on that. I was thinking in terms of Israel with the Babylonians [the majority of Israel including the governing class were conquered by Babylonia and sent there as slaves. The only difference is that the Deep State and their followers will find out they are slaves elsewhere and it will be too late. The survivors will either be y underground or abroad.
Regardless I second your agreement.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Anytime

I understand completely! Very grim to think about!

I will make one statement. Dean Reed was an example of a dreamer who wanted an utopia and paid the price with his life.
Oh, absolutely! I don’t know if you remember, but several years ago you and I exchanged some comments about Dean Reed’s disillusionment with the Soviet Union after his defection and his “accidental” death. Too few people remember the lesson of that man’s fate.
Yes. My Response was that he wasnt disillusioned. The 1980s were a time for MTV and German Punk Rockers such as Nena. Perestroika under Gorbachev made his position in the Soviet Bloc fragile. After all, everyone in Germany fell in love with the German Punk Rock scene with Nena and Michelle. Dean Reed was outdated by many decades. By then, not even América would have him back. I wish I had recordings of RBI – Radio Berlín International of East Germany of the time they cut Dean Reed s concert in favor of Nena’s. This was common with RBI. Unfortunately the recording was lost during Hurricane Andrew
Holy Cow, that’s an interesting revelation. And too bad the recording was destroyed.
It hurt me more. Anyways, I still have the memories of such times in the 1980s. Nena along with Michelle were my favorite German Punk Rocker.
I remember Nena but I wasn’t familiar with Michelle.
I heard both of them on Deutsche Welle in the 1980s.
I also heard both of them on Radio Berlin International after the transmission of Dean Reed was cut off in favor of Nena and Michelle.
Michelle was lesser known of the two but she recorded a Christmas album in the 1990’s which I still have.
Cool. I can’t get over that cutting off of Dean Reed’s transmission like that.
I might have laughed in the background during the recording of the RBI Broadcast cutting off Dean Reed in favor of Nena [1980s]. I do remember Dean Reed trying to sing “Louisiana Woman and Mississippi Man” while he was cut off in favor of a live Nena Concert. There was another cut off when Dean Reed sang “Ich Liebe Mein Land” [I Love My Country and talked about Honecker as a Great Man followed by a background about Nena before another cut off. These were in the early 1980s and Hurricane Andrew damaged it.
Memorable stuff! Thanks for sharing it!
You’re welcome

Thanks for the link! Yes, very moving!
Thanks. It is. Michelle was able to do punk and ballad. Yet when she does Christmas Carol, my heart melts because I remember my time in Germany.
I understand!

Thanks

Balladeer,
In somewhat confirmation of your post here on how the support for President Trump falls along the lines of what he did (and not what he promised), the converse cannot be said of the competition.
I am not speaking of the poor track record of Kamala and Joe (but that certainly applies). No. I am talking about the promise to have Beyoncé at Kamala’s Friday (25 October 2024) rally — and thus the implied (and even rumored through the Washington Post) offering of a one-or-two-song concert by Beyoncé.
As I blog on my post today, Kamala could not even deliver on one or two songs by Beyoncé. Some 1.5 million people tried to get reservations for that rally. Some 30,000 actually got in. Guess the reaction when Beyoncé only introduce Kamala and then left the stage.
Wow! Kamala’s people can’t even pull off something that basic!
I think media has a great impact on everything but sometimes they also do wrong assumption or wrong advertisement. Well shared
Thank you! Yes, you said that perfectly!
I am always perfect 😁😁😁😀😀😀😀🤣😲🥺💐😅😨
Ha! That is true!
Anytime
😀
You are right
I appreciate that! 😀
The Democrats think everything said by the opposition is “hate speech.” News flash: “hate speech” is protected by the U.S. Constitution! When Trump wins, it will be impossible for Democrats to work with Republicans because of their ridiculous characterization of Trump and his supporters as Nazis. They will be forced to continue with their own “hate speech.”
Yes, but Democrats also push the notion that “hate speech” ISN’T free speech. It’s like how they pretend that black people can’t be racist just because of their politically distorted definition of racism. I certainly agree with you that no matter what happens, the Dems will keep pushing their hatred.
Cesspool. Got that right.
Thanks. And that’s being kind to them.
