I voted Scott Pressler because he is doing the most amazing work on the ground like nobody else. If he can flip PA, Trump is in a likely position to win the presidency. Pressler is eliminating a large part of the Dem cheating there. A close second is Charlie Kirk and Turning Point with his grassroots work on college campuses. Those two have done a yoeman's work to let the truth (the actual real votes) of this election prevail. It requires difficult grassroots work to remove the democrat weeds in the garden.
hi Shrugged, Stay safe. I HEAR THAT BOBOBAMA IS NOW LECTURING BLACK MEN TO VOTE FOR THE HAG. HE NOW BELIEVES THAT BLACK MEN ARE V;ERY STUPID AND WILL VOTE FOR STUPID ON CRACK! THIS IS A SIGN THAT DEMS ARE DESPERATE.... A GOOD PLACE FOR ALL OF THEM. I ALSO LOVE WHAT SCOTT PRESSLER IS DOING. HE IS A HERO!
They’re already trying to lawfare him to death. But what’s funny is that in reality, Musk has more actual money than the entire US Govt.
I did have a hard time picking any of those choices as I didn’t feel any of them were very likely. I do believe though, that, along with Trump, they just want him dead.
Don, I pray you have had the most blessed precious time with your son and daughter-in-law and especially your two grandchildren.
I also hope you have taken the opportunity to spoil those two little ones abundantly, as that is the first requirement of a grandparent.
As for the exhaustion one feels after spending priceless time with them I’ve found is the kind that leaves you with an indescribable joy deep into your very being that stays with you forever.
I believe DJT is going to win because many Democrats are talking like they are going to lose. Though every campaign engages in some sort of expectations management, the Democrats have been going warp-speed. They are complaining more and more about an entirely fabricated, but certainly sinister sounding boogeyman that could steal the election: the “Electoral College bias.” Nothing screams “we are going to lose” more than saying the game was rigged in the first place. Electoral College bias is more academic, and more think-tank/Ivy League faculty than the regular lunatic left complaints: Republicans win the White House without winning the constitutionally meaningless "popular" vote.
Sweet, sweet justice, arriving in a late and small dose, which needs to continue.
If Trump received the court justice he deserves, especially having the court hearing all the collected evidence on a stolen election, so many Democrat heads would explode the party would cease to exist and we'd have a big mess to clean up.
Excellent clip--that guy is really good at explaining things so non-lawyers can understand it--and in just 4 minutes.
I want the attorneys and judge severely sanctioned, including being forced to pay Trump's huge legal fees plus punitive damages (if that can apply in this type of case). Sanctions are ESSENTIAL in this case. It would be the first instance of "consequences" for all the treason that has been occurring.
And, let's pause and feel a DEEP gratitude and appreciate for the Appellate Court having some common sense. I was afraid an Appellate Court in that Democratic region might have been irresponsible too, and this have to go on to the Supreme Court. But looks like it will end here. Thankfully, they showed courage and integrity. Our legal system is not completely kaput.
And every judge and court that stands with integrity right now plays a super-valuable role in encouraging courage on the part of other judges and lawyers. May it have a wide ripple effect.
Actually now that I think about it the airborne is probably a brand like Winnebago only fancy. Shows neither one of us have THAT kinda cash laying around! 😂
We appreciate your slavishness to your blog but aren't you supposed to be on a mini-vacay to enjoy family?? Thank you for the dedication and a treat to your cat for the sweet snark.MAGA 2024 is at hand !!
Who is doing the best to re-elect Trump. I voted Elon. The government will bury him with legalities for the next ten years if Trump is not elected. He could lose billions. Government contracts endless lawsuits and bogus criminal charges the same as Trump. He put it all on the line in order to support Trump.
Elon has also put MEGA-bucks into the actual get-out-the-vote effort, which is fantastic. But Shrugged is right, Scott Pressler and Charlie Kirk are true heroes in this.
Musk is a very valuable ally. Yesterday there was a story that he was also contributing to help down ballot races. Seems likely we will flip the Senate to R via WV and MT. But there are also decent odds we will win 1-2 more (OH and WI). Heaven would be AZ too.
Backatcha, Shrugged. Scott won my heart when he VOLUNTARILY - nobody asked, nobody else cared - started picking up the trash on the streets in Baltimore. And hasn't stopped creating new projects for himself since. An amazing person.
I read your article, but tripped over this: "Harris’s word salads are legendary to some of us as we ROTFL," I've heard of ROTC, but what is ROTFL?
And with regard to Cognitive Dissonance, I've heard it describe as a virtue in politics: the ability to hold or tolerate two conflicting views and make it work. Something like that.
If you put these acronyms into the google search it will usually return the meaning for you. I have to do this regularly. Google must know a lot of us really don't have time to learn all the lingo.
Cognitive Dissonance may be considered an effective strategy in politics (I don't know) but is certainly damaging to individuals in daily life. The state of dissonance means there are disconnected beliefs vs. behaviors in one individual. It is a TENSION state when our beliefs don't match our actions. A tension state is never good for a human.
An example might be if a person has a strong Christian faith that abortion is wrong because they believe life begins at conception, but at some point, makes a mistake, gets pregnant, and makes a hasty decision to abort. That cognitive dissonance can cause significant personal damage over time from their regretful mistake. Cognitive Dissonance is a horrible thing.
In short, the Dems are masters at holding conflicting beliefs versus their actions. We call it hypocritical. Michael Savage calls it a mental illness, which it can be if done on a wide scale.
Thank you for those explanations. I referred CD to it as useful in politics because politics is a practical skill -- keeping the peace (and your job) while different sides are clamoring for contradictory things, so the politician gives each side something to keep them pacified, even if that means nothing useful will be achieved as a result.
Speaking of Joe Manchin-- as Joe looks to what his legacy is going to be--why not for once take a clearcut stand, Joe, and publicly endorse Trump for President--NOW. It would be national news, and you would have the lifetime satisfaction of knowing that you made a difference in saving America from destruction.
Cognitive Dissonance is a paradox, but can be manifest in both a positive or negative way.
In the negative form, it can show up as considering voting for someone to be re-elected after they’ve made your life a misery for the previous four years, as opposed to voting for someone whose term vastly improved your life. It just doesn’t register.
In the positive form, it can be likened to forgiving one’s enemy, when your entire being is telling you to hate them.
The first instance is like a kind of Stockholm syndrome, a human defense mechanism.
The second, is choosing the Divine nature over the human.
Congrats to your son on marrying a Korean woman! There are many Koreans in my neighborhood and they are quite frankly the most impressive group of recent immigrants I've encountered. A white-as-can-be friend-of-a-friend has been married to a Korean woman for a long time. Their twenty-something daughters are an incredible combination of considerate, smart, and pretty.
Korean fried chicken puts less emphasis on the batter and more on sauces. One such local place is called Angry Chicken since, in their slanguage, spicy food is described as "angry" rather than "hot".

I voted for as Scott too. He is doing great work. He need to stay on at the RNC and help Lara Trump reform it…and be paid well!
Charlie too. Loyal MAGA. Very valuable.

Gayle--We can hear you. You don't have to scream.
All the best,
A Reader.
Her eyesight's bad, Sir/Madam, but you don't have to listen.
I voted likewise and totally agree with you.
I'm sure we all agree with that. But Kamala being the dumbest Dem to ever run for office ain't hurtin' either.
Re: the Elon Musk poll:

I like it when TV preachers compare Trump with King Cyrus. A bible scholar buddy of mine called the Clintons "Ahab and Jezebel, 2.01"
Dang, Don, you're working that poor cat to death.
Cat can use the exercise. Cat prolly looking at grandchildren as demigods (quarter the size of grownups).
Not to worry, cats have 9 lives.
I see the climate hoaxers scared the crap out of everybody over Milton while NWC continues to suffer.
Don, I pray you have had the most blessed precious time with your son and daughter-in-law and especially your two grandchildren.
I also hope you have taken the opportunity to spoil those two little ones abundantly, as that is the first requirement of a grandparent.

You and they are blessed forever. ♥️
A Very true statement, I love you, Suzie! PURE LOVE comes from a Grandchild, like no other.

Here is a story about the appeal hearing in the NY Civil Fraud Trial (it will brighten you morning) https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1844426831564505456?s=61

If Trump received the court justice he deserves, especially having the court hearing all the collected evidence on a stolen election, so many Democrat heads would explode the party would cease to exist and we'd have a big mess to clean up.
ALL the prosecutors in ALL the lawfare cases should be charged with malicious prosecution and, at the very least, disbarred.
And the judges in ALL those cases as well.
Amen Suzie Amen !!
Your last line conjures the final scene from the movie “Kingsman: The Secret Service”, Exploding Heads Scene.
Worth a look at what those dim-heads might look like (verrrry messy), should your suggested outcome come to pass.

I hope you enjoy your time with your family,Don.
Sounds like you are but I fear you will be worn out by the time they return. Rest up fella, rest up.
Airborne? You mean AirBnB?
Actually now that I think about it the airborne is probably a brand like Winnebago only fancy. Shows neither one of us have THAT kinda cash laying around! 😂
THANK YOU! I had no idea, but as usual, figured I was now HOPELESSLY out of date. lol
I saw that yesterday and suspected a computer auto correct.

Joe Manchin in West Virginia has been a master at that. It must be exhausting in the long run.

Good morning and thank you for all you do Don bringing us the news and a smile. Now go back and enjoy family and let those grandbabies wear you out.
With all the visits to the Airborne, the WV Surbers might be entertaining a third Korean Surber baby next year. 😂😂❤️❤️❤️
