I wonder why no one talks about toxic femininity? Hillary or Kamala present perfect examples.

Which is far more prevalent in our society!

Because that would be racist! No, wait, Hitler! Wait... misogynistic! Or maybe it would be the truth.

Because, if it is a public article or podcast or TV broadcast, there isn't an upside yet tho' the comedic value in doing one would, overtime likely prove prescient and sorely needed.

If/when Trump is declared the president-elect.

No one "talks" about it because we had colorful names for them before the phrase "toxic feminism" was invented. Plus, there nothing to discuss--it's a statement of reality.

Poll answers? I like Tulsi, but I don’t trust Tulsi. And I’ve realized I’ve either become a misogynist, or that all the worst elected politicians are women. Don’t get me wrong, most politicians suck more than an industrial vacuum. As the tendency for Karens to try to assert their authority grows and as “mothering” instincts manifest in “we need to make decisions for you so we can keep you safe” I’ve decided that I don’t want to see a female president. Pols like Tulsi, Elise Stefanie, Sarah Palin and Kari Lake seem to be the exceptions and not the rule, so no thanks. OTOH, did I mention that most politicians suck?

I can think of a few women in history who made competent politicians: Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great, and Margaret Thatcher -- but not many more. At the same time, it would be ridiculous to say that all male politicians are up to snuff. But there seems to be some kind of myth in politics that says women, being more compassionate than men, deserve to occupy more political positions. The answer is: be compassionate all you want, but do it while running social nuisances like the League of Women Voters, or the Library Board. In Germany, Angel Merkel's compassion toward illegal immigrants created a social catastrophe, and I cannot understand how that Canadian drag queen, Castreau, has managed to keep his job. Oops, did I hear he's a guy? Coulda fooled me.

I remember in the 70s hearing that if women were in charge there would be no more wars. Seems to me that the very opposite is true, ie Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland. The rationale was that women are mothers and don’t want to see their children killed. Of course, that rationale has gone down the drain, too, because they aren’t having children or they are aborting them.

The Demented Party whines "He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. "

Yet these very same Thugs dressed in smarmy rhetoric demanded/forced people to be jabbed with a chemical cocktail of poison, falsely claiming it was a vax (even to this day).

When my own doctor sided with the crazed mob of drug dealers, puss-faced politicians and assorted crazies and told me I needed the "shot", I told him that up until that moment I respected him. No more, I thanked him for his time and never went back.

Sadly I believe she isn't native born?

Expand full comment

You bring up a vital point, that ought to be in the forefront of our debates as to who should be our President,

“Natural born citizen” in the Framer’s time, was understood to mean that the child is (a) born in that country’s territory, and (b) BOTH parents are citizens of that country.

This was according to the treatise, THE LAW OF NATIONS, by de Vattel, who was the foremost authority of that time.

We know that at least one copy but probably two of THE LAW OF NATONS, were kept on the floor of the Constitution Convention in Philadelphia - one with Ben Franklin and probably one with George Washington.

The latter personally amended the first draft of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 , in his own handwriting, to state “natural born Citizen” as a requirement for President. He was so advised by John Jay, who in a letter to Washington, explained that this requirement would help insure undivided loyalty to the U.S.A., unmitigated by any loyalty to another nation.

Chester Arthur was elected President, despite having one parent, who was a British citizen. That was the first time this provision was violated.

It was again violated when Barack Hussein Obama assumed the office. His father was a British Subject and Kenyan citizen. So Obama was born a citizen of Kenya. Later, as a child he was adopted by an Indonesian, and became by law, a citizen of Indonesia. Again, according to de Vattel.

This latter status can not be undone, except through the naturalization process as prescribed by law.

Other previous candidates, who do not meet de Vattel’s definition of NBC, include Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, maybe some others … and Kamala Harris (Neither of her parents were U.S. citizens when Kamala was born.)

So apparently, we’ve so far, acquiesced in abandoning this important requirement of the Constitution… for a globalist, anti-nationalist, false interpretation.

But wouldn’t our circumstances be much better to today, if this provision of the Constitution were enforced? If the “total transformationist” had never usurped the Oval Office? Can we not, in hindsight at least, acknowledge the wisdom of George Washington and the other Framers?

Is it really too late to insist that our President be a loyal, natural born Citizen of the USA?

Well, Not White is really most important to the Left which runs the entire Democrat party.

I wonder if Hillary was terribly jealous of Trump in the lead-up to 2016 for having his "basket of deplorables", a demographic she didn't know existed and one she would never have - or be within a country mile of - for her campaigning. After all, the Dems had sewn up the African America/Black demo decades earlier with repeated, but never-delivered-on, lies of a better life. It was all they needed, and Hillary took them for granted with empty promises.

If there is a basket of deplorables defining Hillary's reference, it would be the people who were hardest hit by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee (ie. Appalachia). I have done some backpacking in that area and it is gorgeous. So are the people who live there with their strong immigration roots back to Ireland and Scotland who settled the area because the Appalachian mountains (according to geologists) were once connected to the mountains in the Hebrides (Isle of Skye) of Scotland before the continents drifted apart. The immigrants from that part of Ireland/Scotland recognized it as home. These are the people Hillary is calling deplorables.

There are fibs and there are whopping big lies in life but both eventually are exposed as a fraud. The democrats' lies to their constituent base are finally being exposed as a fraud NOT because Donald Trump said so. They are seen as fraudulent today because the policies and actions of Trump have demonstrated the value behind his promises. He showed the world they weren't just political campaign promises. They were authentic business action plans.

Hillary just keeps lying. Kamala can't form a word salad sentence coherent enough to even form her lies which is why she never talks about her policies or plans. Their lies have been exposed and the liars behind those lies have been exposed as frauds.

The life of a Hillary and Kamala democrat is pitiful and pathetic. Just give me some of that sweet Appalachian mountain music to silence the Dem rhetoric, speaking of which, it's been a little over a year since Oliver Anthony self-released Rich Men North of Richmond. He's doing very well staying OUT of Hillary's circles and remaining a true deplorable.

We lived in rural Ohio and my mother dearly wanted us to studio classical piano which we did but much to her dismay, my favorite music was country, think Honky Tonk Angel with Kitty Wells.

One of the great juxtapositions of life is playing by ear versus sight reading. I was recruited during my senior year to play some great piano piece which took me 6 weeks of a couple hours a day and I had to cheat I kind of mastered the right hand and then courted with a left and the audience loved it and I almost got a job as the organist at the United no actually it was a assembly of God and they said go here and go to college at the Taylor University United Methodist and I was two died in the wall Nazarene to think that way. It's the other hallelujah chorus there's one that's very famous handles and then there's another German one that's very classical and very difficult and I played the piano for it.

Before I begin commenting, I need to update you on my exciting life. Briefly summarizing, I have been widowed twice and love having a romantic woman around and lo and behold, my disabled neighbor who is adorable has been, after I gave her permission, coming over almost daily. Now the interesting part and it is not unique in my life, is that I am strongly bipartisan but the Democrats that I would vote for are quickly either run out of the party or in the case of one congressman I voted for shuttled off to India as an ambassador so they couldn't interfere with their image. I got voted out of a church because I condemned planned Parenthood. So this fight between me and the abortion industry goes back a long time. Fortunately there was nothing they could do to hurt me because after that large church wanted me out because of the efforts of that dumbass woman I'm now back in the same town and the minister of music is my best friend and my son-in-law is the third shift supervisor of the police department. Thank you for your patience and allowing me to say this because I can't really post this anywhere else and I know they'll never come snipping down this website for my past life details. So kind of like my favorite president, I feel like I was made for this time in history. I don't need publicity but I can make things happen just by being there. In the 8th grade there was a mean bully teacher and without really meaning to I started an insurrection that got him fired well unionized they got him promoted to teach you another teachers which is one reason I'm real leary about unions but I'm not anti-union. Well it looks like my spelling is pretty good and the clarity is pretty good cuz the secretary today and I are getting along so I will now be quiet or is my brother would say shut up and go back to having a second cup of coffee and enjoy the delicious joy of watching history up close and having a small part in it. I can't take any credit but I do know God has used me multiple times as a catalyst and it's always delightful to watch and you be surprised how long I'm management or maybe you wouldn't be surprised how much management has supported me. One more quick story. Since I was raised in a rough and tough black and white school in Gary Indiana and my mother made me protect myself by standing up to bullies, I developed a deep love for black music Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles. So I started incorporating that in my piano playing and even though there were elements in the Church of the Nazarene that thought black music was a perversion I was gladly accepted anywhere I went by district superintendents well most of them and pastors. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. MAD DOG.
