I get it. In the first Trump term…politics got crazy…impeachment, etc.
So, we elected a moderate old dude that would bring peace and unity.
But, his administration did the opposite. They took his election as a mandate to do whatever they wanted.
Open the border, fund Iran, spend, spend, spend…support men in woman’s supports…all kinds of insane stuff.
Then they called Trump crazy.
But, people didn’t buy it.
That’s why this election is going this way. People understand that Trump isn’t the crazy one, or the only crazy one.
So now what happens?
At this point, this looks like a “real” mandate. Close the border, cut the size of government, reduce tax burdens on producers and workers.
All that is fantastic. But, the stock market is still overvalued and inflation is not gone.
So, the euphoria in markets is likely overdone. Even though policy is likely to get much, much better.
Just now: Oprah says that if Trump wins, "it is entirely possible that we will never have the opportunity to cast a ballot again"
Friendly reminder that no one voted to make Kamala Harris the democrat party's nominee. Every accusation is a confession.
My beliefs about recent presidential corruption by foreign rivals.
Trump: there was no “collusion” w/ Russia, but Trump feared Putin had some information on him (perhaps a video from his private citizen days?) that could hurt him politically.
Biden: once he decided not to run in 2016 he figured he was soon retiring and it was time to cash in, setting up a scheme similar to his close Senate friend John Kerry’s, using his son as a conduit for bribery. He was happy to take tons of bribes from China’s CCP.
If I’m right, Biden’s behavior was much worse and criminal. However, Biden’s situation leaves him less compromised as he (probably correctly) assumes the DoJ would never charge him and he has no problem reneging on Hunter’s deals with the Chinese.
July 2023 was not the 'hottest month on record':
1. July 2023 was cooler than February 2016 and about as warm as April 1998, per NASA satellite data.
2. Given that July 2023 was skewed by an Antarctic heat wave, an event undetectable prior to satellites, no claims can be made prior to 1979 when the satellite record began.
3. The average of actual surface station temperature measurements has remained constant all year and through July at about 57.5°F. https://t.co/VazFxoP1p7
4. None of this changes the reality that El Ninos (we are in the early stages of one now) have driven global temperatures since 1980 -- not emissions.
5. July 2023 was about as warm as April 1998, despite 66% more industrial era atmospheric CO2.
6. 'Average global temperature' is a bogus notion in the first place. It: (1) is a fake metric invented for the global warming con, (2) has no physical meaning and (3) is not precise to tenths, much less hundredths of a degree. More than 90% of US temperature stations, for example, are not accurate to within 1°C.

From the Wall Street Journal:
“The eurozone economy grew about 6% over the past 15 years, measured in dollars, compared with 82% for the U.S.”
This is a disaster for living standards…yet…many politicians in Washington want to emulate European policies.
One thing the Bengals did control going into Monday night that they now don't: The No. 2 seed, which guarantees a home game in the divisional round. So I can understand where they're chafed by the changes.
Bengals have no chance at the #1 seed, will likely stay at #3 assuming BUF beats NE, but could end up playing a road playoff game if they lose to BAL in Wk 18 & lose a coin flip. So the League recognized the disadvantage to BAL in cancelling CIN-BUF, but not CIN's disadvantage???
A coin flip lmao.
- can’t get the one seed
- can’t rest starters, have to play to win in week 18
- if lose, may lose a home playoff game because a coin flip.
“Competitive balance”
