Not to worry. The DNC-Regime-Media (MSNBC / CNN / NBC / ABC / CBS/NY Times / NPR / State Department / CIA / FBI / Department of Homeland Invasion By Illegal Aliens) within 24 hours of the "debate" made Walz into a Non-Person.

“Whereas Hillary was a Democrat wife who accepted public humiliation as a means of keeping political power because power means more than honor and respect.”

That my friends is the essence of the Marxist/Democrat/Hate America Party, power at any cost and by any means necessary.

Everything is political to these people. That includes natural disasters like Hurricane Helene. Reading of people's desperation I sent an email to a large number of my email contacts, some of whom I haven't seen in while. The email was carefully worded to avoid overt politics, though my call to action was for people to be squeaky wheels to hold their gov't (Federal and state, local in some cases) accountable.

It was very telling to read some of the responses. Rather than be concerned about their fellow citizens dire situation, I was lectured about "internet rumors" and told that heck, lots of people they knew were on planes in Charlotte as they wrote. No kidding--people with means not stuck in hollers could get out. Meanwhile Pete Buttigieg has issued a NATAM (gobbledygook for curtailing flight approvals) and Mayorkas says we are "running out of money" to cover hurricane relief via FEMA. Not to mention the cravenly political cancellation of Starlink grants for rural internet, initially under contract in 2020 and subsequently cancelled by Biden/Harris administration. It is up to private citizens, those with the funds to pay for their own helicopters, to search out survivors...and the window for successful extrication at 8 days in is closing.

Can't say I could be more disgusted with our government and the blindness of some of our fellow citizens. God forgive me b/c I am hopping mad right now.

The blindness of fellow citizens is the worst.

Expand full comment

Totally understand, NNTX, how you feel about "the blindness of some of our fellow citizens". But because of you, they are a little less blind now. It was worth it for you to send around that email. Reality will eventually break in on them; reality can't just be suppressed forever.

We on the Right need to protect ourselves from letting our frustration hurt us--e.g., our own health, like our blood pressure!! I know you come from a spiritual perspective, so hopefully you can take that "hopping mad" you're feeling right now to God; and would bet that as that divine presence starts to bring a stillness, that probably you will get some new spiritual insights and truths that will end up having quite a strong impact not just on your consciousness but on the consciousness of everyone you emailed today, and on the wider consciousness of the whole country. Prayer really can reach way beyond what we might think, and can have an impact on situations we aren't even aware of.

Trump is returning to Butler, PA tomorrow--Elon Musk has tweeted that he will be joining Trump there. So much to celebrate in prayer too, for all the courage and clarity being shown, and prayer for the safety of everyone attending.

Thanks TPG!

Me, too, NNTX. Went to my weekly health related appt today. I had just heard on the radio that FEMA has closed air space, drones not allowed to search for people, and Starlink’s engineers are having things seized and being prevented from doing the work they need to do. I mentioned the hurricane at the session and the young lady assisting me mentioned a story about sand that washed up in a parking lot and cars cemented in it. When I mentioned NC she had a totally blank on her face. She knew nothing about all the people trapped and missing in NC. She said , “Tell me,” and I did - everything I could get in before we had to get to the task at hand.

So I guess half the country hasn’t a CLUE!!!

I avoid FB and haven’t checked it out for myself, but I wonder if any of your email contacts would be willing to look up Hendersonville, NC on FB and read their feed. I read there are many personal testimonies there. Hope I have the right name.

Dogs and cats are extremely smart socialists. They have totally free food, shelter, healthcare, etc.

Expand full comment

Dogs and Cats give back so much more than some food, possibly shelter, and not often healthcare, as I see every day in my neighborhood. I take good care of all of them around me, feeding them separately to keep them calm and happy. I can no longer handle health care, but decades of learning has taught me how to care for them very well with vaccinations and OTC meds for minor issues. Four cats have their own houses in my spacious lovely yard, fenced in, some with heated flooring, for the very cold GA. winters. Great food, lots of chats, and love mean they are Wonderful Pets and ill live good lives as long as I am here. Animals are a lot nicer than most people, I can promise you that, and they never forget.. Once they know you will respond to their voices, and basic needs, they are in love with you forever. You just cannot beat that. It works EVERY TIME. One year ago, two of my long time ‘residents’ died of old age, at ages 15 and 18 years. I miss both of them every single day. Both are buried here and will always be remembered and loved. I notice that people will just put their pets outside and expect them to fend for themselves. This lack of basic human kindness is both Horrid and Heartbreaking. I cannot imagine what their children think of this action- are they wondering when they will be ‘put out into the yard’???

The only imaginable explanations for why they have not divorced are (1) that was still frowned on in 1992, (2) she was determined to get his job, a plan that failed (do I dare say: "Trump"?); (3) she's got the goods on him so bad (do I dare say "Epstein"?), he would lose what few admirers he still has, and (4), the lawsuits ensuing from the revelations would bankrupt them both.

Hey! I’m a Scorpio too. In astrology unconscious Scorpios can rule the underworld but when fully developed soar like eagles, masters of death and rebirth (growth and evolution). I doubt anyone would argue Hillary’s status in evolution. Well, the death part seems to follow her around but that’s not it.

However, I only fell for “I’ll never do it again, I can change” nonsense once. That’s why I voted for D.I.V.O.R.C.E. Admittedly with a 3 yr old and a 3 month old I had to gather all of my strength and resolve to pack my Marine Sgt husband’s bag and toss him out. I certainly was/am not a feminist but with that act my 21 y/o life began.

A little virtue signaling…last Mother’s Day the card they gave me said, “Your kids are amazing and doing great!” As if I didn’t know. We don’t always fall into stereotypes. It’s all been worth it.

Isn’t it wild that after we gave all women an unqualified access to vote, they have continuously shown that their number one political priority is killing their own children, followed by feminizing men?

Actually I think that is the globalists doing this to ALL ppl, not just the women they can con into it. Even leftist women are making viral TikToks about how they want REAL, MANLY men, but they’re horrified to find they’re all conservatives.

just to clarify....so women are NOT responsible for their actions? even when killing their own children? if you're selling a $3000 used car in your front yard 'as is' for $5500 and i come along and buy it, who is responsible?

Expand full comment

Caveat emptor, but I think the law ( I’m not a lawyer) says caveat emptor is the case except if the seller did something to actively deceive the buyer that an average buyer would not have been able to uncover by normal means. So everyone is responsible for their own choices / actions BUT it’s hard to hold accountable people who have been brainwashed.

Gail, Good point. I may send that summary to my daughter unfortunately she is voting for Kamala.

Arrrugh Rev. You're killing me by telling me she's voting for Kamala. 😱

How old is she?? Is she a student or does she work??

Either way, you can customize this joke (it's one of my FAVORITES!) --

A daughter comes home from her first year of a very expensive private college (that her father is paying for. He worked very hard his whole life and is proud and greatful that he achieved enough success to be able to do this for her).

Her father asks her how her first year of college went and she reports that she got straight A's and was on the Dean's List each semester. She then goes on to berate HIM for being an evil capitalist, not caring about the environment or global warming and the polar bears dying in the Arctic Circle, etc, etc.

He's patiently nodding and listening with a wry smile on his face.

When she's done he then asks her how her roommate Sally - with whom she's been best friends since Kindergarten, is doing and his daughter's eyes well up with tears. "Oh dad, I'm so upset! While I was in the library every night, Sally was out with boys or at parties, coming home at all hours and often missing classes the next morning. So we think the Dean might kick her out and we won't get to go through college together!"

The dad nods and then says to his daughter, "Here's what you can do honey, to make sure Sally can come back next year - You call the Dean on Monday and explain how you simply cannot go thru college without your very best friend from five years old! So that you want to DONATE HALF of your "A"s to Sally's GPA and you agree to take on half of her Fs so that you both will have a C average and insure that Sally can be your roommate."

The daughter's face gets red with rage and she fumes back to her father "How dare you suggest that Dad! I worked my tail off for my A's and Sally did NOTHING to try to get good grades! My As are mine!! Sally has no right to have them!"

The dad just smiles and says to his daughter: "Welcome to the Republican party"

The way Don puts the pieces together it seems the Democrats are The Cult they project on Trump supporters. They sure circle the wagons, hold hands and BELIEVE. I left the party in 2008 when that's exactly how they were handling Obama. Another The Selected One (ask Hillary, but she was too busy getting her wagon in the circle for O-Bam-A, O-Bam-A). Once again, I'm reminded why I left the Democrats, Obama made no sense to me but I was told to BELIEVE. Creepy. The leftovers today are Kamala Democrats who I truly believe are Communists. The whole Biden-Kamala term used the Alinsky-Cloward-Piven handbook. They hate our country and the media is complicit.

I'm just sitting here shaking my head with my usual morning grumpy expression after reading Dons great article today. When does this story end? Two morons, married to two equally stupid people, are running for the Hotel WH today. There is a terrible catastrophe happening in five states in the south, we are edging ever closer to war with Iran, and inflation is destroying our economy. Yet Harris is campaigning in some toss-up states today, Biden is..............well never mind, at the beach or something, he's not in charge anyway, so I ask you, who is running the country? FEMA says they don't have enough money to last this year yet they gave over a billion dollars of FEMA funds to fund the border invasion so far, the government is turning away rescue attempts by private citizens in the south while at the same time FEMA and fed authorities cannot be found. The Trans Secretary Butthead shut down all air space over the hurricane damaged areas to "protect government aircraft" (that are nowhere to e found) so now private rescuers cannot use their drones and helicopters to find and rescue people. Harris is giving victims a check for $750 each to help them.................but where the hell are they supposed to spend a check? Everything is gone!!!!!!!! Maybe I'm just getting too cranky these days but even GW Bush had FEMA on the job working in three days after Katrina. We are being governed by morons who have no ability to solve anything and no desire to do so. Now we hear the latest news flash is that Doug Emhoff slapped around his ex-girlfriend for flirting during a drunken rage. That's todays crisis? Really? That's what the networks are doing damage control on? Good grief, America and the world are coming apart at the seams faster than we can report it and no one but card carrying morons are in charge.

If you are going to vote for Kamala, you are violating everything you allegedly stand for. I appreciate people who just don't like Trump, I'm not sure I like him all that much myself, but I do respect low inflation, no new foreign conflicts, rising wages and stuff like that. Harris has none of that, plus - she settled on her VP pick after a sleepless night and cooking therapy. Her husband abuses women besides the cheating stuff. Her VP is quite likely a low level Chinese asset, and a coward and serial liar (not a bombastic exaggerator). She cannot sit for an interview without creating a massive word salad of silliness. She is not ready for prime time. That anyone could think she is says much more about them, than this pitiful example of a presidential candidate.

Best line in Don's (as always) excellent post:

"I married a Jenny Sanford 47 years ago and I would have it no other way."

If it aint a song it otter be. Does anyone expect different attitudes or responses from the lying msm/dem/journos ???. One needs to remember these are the [ rules for thee but not for me ] power seeking at any cost crowd currently ruining America. Poca-Man and his allies in truthful reporting are leading the MAGA/MAHA to victory in 2024 all while preparing us for the battles to follow the WIN.
