The Dems can do whatever they want at their own convention. The Republicans nominated the moron who can’t keep his mouth shut and stay on point and guaranteed their own destruction. Welcome to 4 years of Cackles and all of the horror that comes with it, courtesy of Trump. I’m sure Blair will be VERY upset because he won’t be able to sound the alarm about the Bad Orange Hitler anymore.

This is off topic but I just saw Lara Trump doing an interview (only a few questions) with Justin Farmer on WSB local news. Perhaps the campaign is taking some of Erick’s advice on doing local news interviews (albeit with a conduit). Justin did ask about the remarks Trump has made about Kemp and how he’s a popular governor. She did not answer the question directly but she did say that a thaw was coming if it hasn’t come already. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Democrats want complete government control over every aspect of society except for three things that they demand absolute freedom:

1) Abortion.

2) Who you can marry.

3) Who you can have sex with.

Russia during WW2 when the snow melted they found dead babies and dead young children- the parents had decided not to care for them.

Biden's basement campaign worked well in 2020, so the Democratic party is running Harris' campaign similarly in that SHE WON'T DO INTERVIEWS. I'm concerned it will work. She's traveling around, reading lies from a teleprompter, and only has to appeal to a few independent voters in order to win. I wonder, out loud, if we should revisit the 25th amendment argument before the Nov. election? If she were Madame President wouldn't she have to do interviews without teleprompter? Of course, the media would probably be complicit in continuing to shield Ms. Harris. We are in a very dangerous time in this country without having a truly free press. May God please bless America?!

Those who call themselves Christians. We might lose the battle but we WIN the war. It's sad and disgusting to see what is happening in our country but let's not get distracted or discouraged.

Is it a torch or a baton they’re passing? Biden with a torch seems dangerous.

Kamala running with scissors seems dangerous, too!

Putting out to pasture a man who is well beyond his political expiration date. Joe ran to be president several times against better politicians and was clobbered, including when he had to drop out after plagiarizing other politicians work. He was lying. Anyone surprised? But now he is has the golden ring not because he beat a respectable adversary but because Trump beat himself with his own mouth. Trump's lack of self control cost him the election. Old Joe, and he was old at the time, sat in a basement and waited for Trump to self destruct. Now, the dems have no use for Biden and his odd fumblings have demonstrated he is years past his prime. So, to honor his accidental rise to the top position they boot him. Well, good riddance. It will be after he is gone that we will finally hear how much money he made by selling his political influence to the highest bidder.

Depeche Mode, "Lie to Me" should have been their team song.

This is CNN...

Democrats gather to enshrine their audacious power play

- The refashioning of the race has left Trump disorientated and pining for his matchup against Biden

Awash in his party’s love, President Joe Biden finally did become that bridge to a new generation of leaders.

He movingly performed the most profound act a politician in a democracy can undertake — willingly handing over power — as he ceded the leadership of the party to Kamala Harris Monday

I think I'm going to be sick.

Democrats are the cool progressive dad making it easy to follow the road to ruin. It breads victim mentality. "Responsibility" is nowhere in the lexicon, replaced by, "it's not my fault".

Oh but after the age of 18 it is your responsibility.

I would suggest that a “cool progressive dad” model of parenting may create special problems for teenagers, because it’s rooted in a misguided belief that kids are supposed to be more enlightened than their parents, that a good dad just listens and learns from his wise progressive teenager. In fact, most children need more discipline, adult guidance and psychological-religious grounding before they’re ready to teach their parents anything — so being a cool progressive parent is often a good way to set your kids adrift

You've captured my thoughts concisely. Thanks.

May God protect us from anyone who does not honor the lives that He has created - all other issues flow from that outlook!

The infrastructure bill contributed a lot to the problems with prices we are experiencing. I suspect Biden considers it a plus to his legacy especially because to pass it he had to get some Republicans to go along. That bill will waste our wealth on many projects that will go nowhere. A good example is the charging stations for EVs.

It believe Democrats catch a lot of one issue voters who only recognize their side of the coin. Abortion up until birth is an example. They do not realize that these abortions destroy our nations future. So they bring in illegals and with that drugs that kill and criminals that we do not want( like the person that killed Laken Riley). As Rush said, they need a underclass of people to appeal to and illegals provide that.

My point on these and other issues like their foreign policy is this. These people running our country do not ever look at the second and third order effects of what they do. By not doing a good plan they plug an immediate problem but the water continues to rise and spill over the dam.

The bottom line is the Biden Admin could not successfully govern and we are in a mess. What makes our citizens believe Harris and her running mate can do better? Keep in mind that she is from CA (the land of fr_its and n_ts).

Not sure how it will fare against the book, but the level of detail they went to with sets, costumes, cinematography, and the Japanese culture of the day was truly impressive. While you can get it in English, I found myself preferring the Japanese with subtitles because it added another level of authenticity. I say that as if I know ANYTHING about Japanese culture - I don't - but the presentation came across as if someone had done a lot of research.

"and a supposed economic recovery no one feels."

Saw footage of Don Lemon asking people on Atlantic City NJ who they were going to vote for. A man told him Trump. Asked why, he said, 'I was making more money under Trump.

Don said, ' The record shows the economy is doing better under Biden."

Dude just laughed and walked off. One of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
