If nothing else, President Harris would bring to the table a quality missing in the current two front-runners. She would have to live in the world made on her watch....

"Live in", yes, but she would be insulted from the consequences of her poor decisions. A Neal Boortz said, stupidity should be painful. When you insulated from stupid decisions you don't learn.

I’m not a real estate expert, so I might be missing something— but if NY seizes Trump’s property in an eminent domain, foreclosure type manner, would that affect property values of other NY real estate? Commercial buildings in NYC are currently having vacancy issues.

God help us. I can’t even follow politics anymore. I’m in no way voting in November, so I’m just going to read my Bible and do other things for the next year.

Check out RFK, Jr. - not what anyone says about him but what he actually stands for. Six months ago I thought he was a nut. Since then, I've listened to several of his long-form interviews (Jordan Peterson, Megyn Kelly, Dennis Prager, etc.), went to one of his events, and watched his videos on Rumble. He's not the nut everyone thinks he is, and while not perfect, he has a positive vision for the country I haven't heard from another candidate.

And if you decide not to vote, I respect your decision. I've been told my whole adult life that I would be throwing away my vote if I didn't vote for the Republican candidate. I've voted Republican in every election, and the government and national debt have grown in leaps and bounds with Republicans in charge. Trust God and your conscience.

No. Ask for guidance and vote. Don’t be like the people who believed the ten prophets of doom who convinced everyone that the task God gave them was impossible .

Why is it better to vote than not to vote? Voting for Trump perpetuates the rot at the heart of the GOP. A vote for Biden rewards incompetence. How can I undersign either? Did Lot have a choice between Sodom and Gomorrah, or was he simply commanded to leave?

Free will.

He doesn't think of doctrines as primarily "true" or "false," but as "academic" or "practical," "outworn" or "contemporary," "conventional" or "ruthless." Jargon, not argument, is your best ally...

Don't waste time trying to make him think that materialism is true! Make him think it is strong or stark or courageous—that it is the philosophy of the future. That's the sort of thing he cares about.

... what ever odd ideas might come into a man's head when he was shut up alone... a healthy dose of "real life" was enough to show him 'that sort of thing' just couldn't be true.

Both Screwtape and God whisper you ear.

Despair is that point where a person looses all hope things will ever be better, as if they are lost forever, roaming in darkness.

To focus on despair is to focus on us and loose site of God's grace.

Yes, seek the Kingdom of God, but we live here now,with free will, and can effect the course of history though our actions and inactions.

But, how do we know what is the right course? Even the Lot family made a series of questionable decisions before and after leaving Sodom and Gomorrah.

All I can think to answer is seek ye first the Kingdom of God. Whoever the earthly authority is, that work remains the same.

Trump needs a Nathan to tell him to get his act in order. He is no where near my first choice for President but he would be better than any democrat.

I respect what you’re saying but I’m just so exhausted by all the craziness 😩

The puppet masters want you to be discouraged and stay home. Trump is a flawed candidate (we all are) and they fear him.

Letitia James is out of control. Her hatred for Trump has blinded justice, and NYC could care less. And they say the Republicans have no regard for the law???

You don't have to hate Trump to see that he has been addicted to criminal activity for his entire adult life in order to become the richest and most adulated person in the world. What I dislike more than him as a person is the fact that he has been able get away with it by preying on the frailties of fellow human beings who were in a position to stop him.

When I read Holman Jenkins’ column I thought, “it’s not April Fools Day.”

As a conservative supporter I agree it can be easy to live in a bubble and get extreme opinions thinking you’re always right.

However there is a big huge difference. In that one sides offerings of policies are either evil our outlandish. While the other is while not being approved by everyone are not dangerous evil or completely immoral.

And yes I am speaking of the dems vs republicans.

I hear many say “let’s find a common ground let’s compromise”

And I say to that asking for that is like saying we should have compromised with the nazis.

Evil is non negotiable. While the people involved may not be evil. The policies are inherently bad wrong and some reprehensible like transitioning elementary aged kids.

Re: 7.2 million illegal aliens crossing the border during Biden's Presidency:

This is nothing but a foreign invasion orchestrated by the nation's chief executive. If ever there was to be treason charges, that is it.

Someone explain to me how Biden can just dole out tons of cash to whoever ever he pleases? Doesn’t Congress have the power of the purse? And didn’t the Supreme Court tell him he couldn’t bail out student loans the first time he tried it? I paid my own way through school, do I get reimbursed?

Expand full comment

To answer your question on being reimbursed forget it not going to happen this go around is for somebody to vote for Joey from Scranton but as a consolation prize. You get to help pay for it

The only difference between Trump and Navalny is they haven't actually killed Trump. Yet. We have a problem with politicians who age out but will not give up the reins. Term limits or age limits or cognitive tests have to happen. I don't see how anyone is ever going to be able to fix this invasion that Biden has implemented. If Trump is saying deportation camps till we get them all gone, I am all for it. There is no comparison between the radical progressive left and the right, at any level. We let the establishment republicans sit on their hands watching while democrats put this monstrosity of the progressive utopia in place. I am not inclined to had it back to them, even though Pence is a very nice, well meaning man.

"Scott frequently reads from a script and at times has trouble carrying out substantive conversations in real time...."

When asked for comment, Scott replied,

'Hey... if it's good enough for President Biden, it's good enough for me.' (Not really, folks. It's called satire.)

As for Trump comparing himself to Navalny, the comparison isn't appropriate... yet.

"Donald Trump compared his legal troubles in New York to the fate of Alexei Navalny."

He is absolutely correct. Democrats would inwardly smile if Trump would have the same outcome as Navalny. It is the same collectivist authoritarian move as with the Putin administration. Big money paying for fealty to the cause to exploit the establishment legal system to destroy political opposition.

Putin must be almost dying of laughter watching the American system follow his lead.

Straw Man... No, Trump is absolutely wrong.

Yes, Democrats and more than a few Republicans would not be broken up if external forces took out Trump; the same applies to Biden.

The fact is those "external" forces will not be Biden ordering the Secret Service or CIA, or DIA to kill him.

Who would be worse, President Harris or the Press Secretary? It would make a great comedy show but it is for real.
