Americans Have Burned Through Their Pandemic Savings... and, 1 in 5 Americans earning more than $150K annually are living paycheck to paycheck....

No s#1t Sherlock. If not for other factors this would be my wife and me. My analogy for the economy is a supernova, we have burning the last of the fuel, pandemic money, now the fuel can withstand the pressure and it all starts to contract, then explode.

Your tweet...

Perhaps like Trump, no one but Obama can be Obama. I do blame Bill Clinton for 9/11, but I do respect him. His version of the Democra party is a plausible alternative to the GOP and would make the GOP work to be better. Obama's party makes anyone not left of Jimmy Carter look like a good idea.

KJP... Well she managed to keep her anger and resentment in check for 2 days. Oh yes, we do what is customary and what the American people expect, and I get to speak my truth and redefine if not completely retroactively correct what I said. Their self-righteous hubris is boiling over because the troglodytes didn't do as they were told. The Obama to Trump transition was sabotaged by the White House Staff if not Obama himself. The Clinton to Bush transition was also married. There is no "peaceful" transition to a Republican.

How can a campaign be flawless when they wouldn't answer one single question?

Going back to yesterday. About the difference in votes for Biden in 2020 to this year.

You forgot the ones like me than genuinely want to know. I know you gave an explanation saying it was mostly because of mail in ballots being sent to every solitary voter unsolicited. That was one reason.

You next said that someone like me should take the time and go find those voters who voted in 2020 by mail in but didn’t in 2024 and ask them. Do some investigating.

Answer is there was and inconsistencies were found. But not enough to affect the outcome.

But if anything it does prove this. Mail in ballots are an absolute joke.

This election no or very little unsolicited universal mail in ballots and look what happened.

We can’t have lazy voters. If you can’t get off your duff and vote. You shouldn’t vote. And if you do want to vote absentee there should be numerous checks and balances.

Ok that’s all I’m saying about that.

You make very valid points; however, I wouldn’t say that the mail-in vote system is a joke. It’s actually helped a lot of us who are more than happy and willing to cast our votes. I’m a trucker, and as a full-time OTR driver, the mail-in system has been a blessing, because (it never fails) most often, I’m out of state when it’s time to vote. With mail-in, the ballot is in my box by the time I get home; I can get ‘er done, then mail it back in immediately. I’m done, I’ve voted! Yay! Now, what I would love to see happen, is the government make Election Day an actual holiday — I know of some trucking companies that would honor this and try to make sure that most of their drivers get home in time for it, much like Christmas or Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, it won’t be the case for ALL drivers, but it would be a step in the right direction, I believe.

What you’re talking about is absentee. Thats a process of requesting and getting validated.

What I’m speaking of is universal unsolicited mail in ballots.

In some states voters just get mail in ballots mailed to them.

A household can get their entire house mailed in.

What this does is allow for the lazy voter. The couch voter.

That’s what happened in 2020. Due to Covid everyone got a mail in ballot and it’s too open to fraud.

So that’s why the voter participation rate was something like 85% compared to 67-70% today.

It should not be that easy to vote.

There’s other problems.

People vote who otherwise would not have.

- there were cases of one family

Member walking to the drop box and dropping 10 ballots.

Aka ballot harvesting.

Plus those ballots can’t be verified fully. Just a simple signature.

That’s what needs to be banned. Absentee should be reserved for military oversees. Medically necessary but needs to be proven and verified.

For cases like yours also that’s acceptable.

The point being that should be a very low number. Absentee ballots used to be in the 30-40k. Some states up to 600k people voted by MIB.

That number needs to be low and cases of fraud made nearly impossible. With harsh penalties.

Team Harris quote: The 107-day Harris campaign was nearly flawless. Really? Not answering direct questions but instead giving us word salads and "I was raised a middle class child..." They have eyes but cannot see; they have ears but cannot hear.

I don't think the word flawless means what they think it means.

You are absolutely correct. The biggest flaw of the campaign was Kamala herself.

Let them think that was flawless. So they can do it again.

Yes, it’s been confirmed that there are about 10,000 North Korean troops in Russia, deployed in the Kursk region, to be used against Ukraine…. That’s a full division.

Earlier this year when Putin, Kim Jong Un and Xi Jinping were getting all buddy-buddy, I had a feeling something like this would happen. Putin has lost almost 700,000 soldiers in this war with Ukraine, and he has strong-armed Kim into providing these assets.

So far, China isn’t saying anything..

What a full week. Honestly never realized how much stress I was carrying until Trump was announced the victor. Trump is more in tune to most things this is in dire need to change to get this country back together again. How he gets it done will either make him one of the greatest President or the worst one in history. The name calling and labeling people needs to stop. Pretty far fetched cats and dogs as food source. Pretty crazy and I am a Buckeye. Do NOT insult Veterans. Trump needs to learn to some of us he is in the same class as Clinton being a draft dodger and that perspective is from Veterans. Vietnam Veterans were spat upon and called baby killers. I felt the reality of rejection but I was very proud of my family's service to this country. Less than 1% of our population protects the other 99%. Let's us do our job. We take of all of us.

I guess as it is nearing a day that fewer and fewer who I served with are gone. One Veteran I got to know from his writings and his speeches. I corresponded with his office and he got things done if they were the right things to do. I am speaking of John McCain. Trump needs to learn the same I explained to Warnocks office when he was first elected, you did not serve and therefore it is difficult to understand what it is like to pick up arms and defend this country with your life. I have stood and dodged bullets too. I will say Trump was brave and ever so lucky, or lived another day by the Grace of God and should be forever thankful.

As far as the press conference I think Ms Jean Pierre said the right things. In the context of transition admitting America Spoke, took alot of courage to admit. Then immediately turned around and blamed Biden for Harris' failure.

We cannot let two country's down, Ukraine or Israel. I personally did not agree with the negotiations with the ztaliban when they were actually l lying irrelevant. At the time Trump negotiated we were not in the line of fire. I would rather serve in the country we are protecting do real work than be stateside in training all the time. We need to rebuild MUTUAL trust. In today's world there should be no room for war but there is. We can't desert our Allies like Biden did ever again. Nobody listened to Patton years ago and his assessment of Russia. We live pretty high on the hog and many do not realize how our poverty is another country's middle to upper income. Freedom is not free. Have rambled enough.

My .02 worth.

The misogynist puts a woman in a position that has never been held by a woman, without fanfare and not because she is a woman, but because she is really good at her job. Democrats might try that sometime. I guess location matters, but I cannot fathom having to live paycheck to paycheck on 150,000. I know a lot of people who don't live paycheck to paycheck but who earn much less than that. While funny in a way, the over the top hysteria is going to make for a rocky 4 years.

I don’t think that any of the elites will specify that the surgeon to work on them has to be a black, left handed, vegan woman. Just be the best qualified.

Watched the segment, "Democrats Want A Feminist Version Of Joe Rogan?"

Talk about a lack of self-awareness! The entirety of MSM pounds the table for Harris (and against Trump) and this joker says Left doesn't have an infrastructure to combat Joe Rogan? MSM has essentially been the campaign platform for Dems since at least 2008 (longer, but not as obviously prior to BHO), whether in blind support of Dem candidates or in derogatory portrayal of Repubs, particularly conservatives. Conservatives realized that particular bully pulpit was all-in, no longer "reporting", but now "editorializing" every event in the US. Instead of going into a fetal position on the floor, conservative elements established alternative platform approaches to even the playing field.

He also talks about "propagandizing" on the conservative side - again, a complete lack of self-awareness that our public school system is indoctrinating children, even to the point of refusing to reveal to parents that their children struggle with gender dysphoria (now "law" in CA).

I guess what we now see is bullies using their bully pulpit are unwilling to engage in the ground game. It's easy to crow from perches immune from any repercussions for bad info/behavior when folks living in reality have no recourse. Once that perch is no longer the only one available, they're unable to come down and discuss rationally with any that disagree with them.

A feminist version of Rogan---how ridiculous. I watched it also and was totally disgusted with their continued insistence on the feminization of men. They think this is the answer? All those guys who stood in lines to vote for Trump would heartily disagree with them.

Well, everything on the conservative side is obviously propaganda... right? LOL. Self-awareness is definitely not taught in the schools the attended.

This just in: NEWS FLASH! President elect Trump has just announced that he will suspend all immediate plans to begin construction to complete the wall on the southern border so that all despondent, disgruntled, and undocumented post-election US “migrants” can stream unobstructed across the border into Mexico to find a better life.
