This was all planned. And Biden and Harris are being directed by someone else. The reason they wait so late is so people will not know how disconnected she is. I saw this in the info way back when Biden picked her. When DA in LA she intentionally left men incarcerated after their release date. She hates men. - her dad told her to stop saying she is African black. She is Indian from India and Irish. Direct descent of a slave owner. I hope Trump lets her talk. She will expose herself.

He helped Biden during their debate. He really should let het hang herself and be a gentleman about it.

Thank God he is alive. Did you read Tierneys substack - Jill Biden had a event same time, same area as Trump. It was only announced the day or 2 days before.

I feel this was a plan as well, & appreciate your information, thank you. I have always felt Biden was a puppet for evil people & their negative agenda for our country, as well as the world. We have a messy four months ahead of us, & I pray more American citizens wake up from their sleep, & realize what has been going on the past 4 years!

There is no way I believe he came down with COVID. He came down with "I need a break so I can exit without having to address the people" sickness. These are the people that keep repeating that Trump is a threat to democracy and that he is a dictator. Whose the threat to democracy now? The Democrat party who decided they were going to place the candidate they wanted in there and to hell with what the people wanted. THEY are going to tell you who THEY will put as candidate. THEY are dictating who is best for the Democrat party. But here's the problem. Most of the voters who support this party/agenda are so clueless to how a real government runs, they would vote for Sam Brinton if he was running.

"In a flurry of pre-debate activity, the Harris Campaign immediately began taking steps to preemptively ward off anticipated criticisms during a prospective debate with Trump, including a battery of tests administered by independent medical evaluators. Leaked assessment results place Harris' cognitive ability above that of granite, but less than quartz. The assessment was confirmed in practice when Harris challenged a decorative desk-mounted conch shell to a game of chess, and lost."

Unfortunately as she is a woman “of color” albeit Indian and likely the descendant of slave owners, not African, President Trump will have to be polite, but I have confidence he can handle it.

IF Trump wins, I would NOT be surprised if the so-called Democrats take BOTH the Senate (and) the House (with a veto-proof majority)- which will nullify at least 75% of anything Trump tries to do - such as closing the border, unleashing our energy potential, cutting regulations and taxes and shitcanning much of the un-elected out-of-control bureaucracy AND unconstitutional agencies, bureaus and departments.

THAT is how the Council on Foreign Relations works (and) by RETAINING as many "CFR" (establishment appointed) moles embedded in key positions in a Trump (or Vance) - or ANY administration.

Until the "CFR" is outlawed from becoming federal government employees and appointed to key positions within - NOTHING will change for the better - and the march to One World Order will continue to 2030 AD..the date that WILL live in INFAMY IF successful.

"TPM" is in soft-cover format for easy reading and is profusely illustrated with names, dates , places and events - is by far the only book I know of that contains such a COMPLETE disclosure of the Council on Foreign Relations reason for being - BEYOND that which "they" claim as their goal.

Ya’know, I’ve been slip slidin’ my way thru this thing we call life for nigh on to 7 decades, made some contributions as an adult for 50’ish, been fairly politically aware for 40’ish and some might say I can be a bit of a zealot in my stance as a Constitutional Conservative, voting Republican for most of that 40’ish years;

I have NEVER once heard any of those people I’ve voted for, support, listen to EVER advocate for DIRTY water, POLLUTED air, FILTHY oceans or an environment that would kill us; what I am keenly aware of is that we have to live in reality not a fantastical utopia. If you want that fantastical utopia then I hope you’re comfortable with abject poverty, death, inequity and overreaching constraints about what you can do, how you can eat, and where you can live.

What I also know is that The United States of America has the cleanest water, air, food of any first world, or even 3rd world, nations and is constantly improving. It takes more than "want to" to be able to, it takes the wherewithal, the resources, to do so.

Someone like RFKjr may sound good on paper but HIS reality would lead to a poverty of life, society and environment - for it is in that engine of a free people and a free economy that "the environment" can bloom.

In fact, and I’ll close with something I suspect you know (if indeed you love DJT 😉), the dirtiest countries are those with the least free people and economies.

I finished grad school in late 1976 as a 27 year old (fairly liberal at the time, although registered Republican). I spent the next 2 years working in Iran until the Shah fell and that was followed by 8 years in Saudi Arabia. I traveled extensively throughout the third world and that 10 year experience is what made me truly appreciate, love and value what we have here in the U.S. People here can't imagine how different everything is in the West as compared to the third word in general. It's like a different planet here. I was constantly shocked how essentially backwards and primitive so many places were, despite having trappings of modernity.

While not meaning to over simplify a nation's path to modernity but what separates this country from all these perennial third world nations; our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution of the United States of America, in other words our form of government. Government is the biggest impediment to a country's future growth, and these countries are run by corrupt leaders. I realize that other issues such as natural resources is major factor to a nation's growth but an honest government would create systems to take advantage of what a nation has rather than pocketing the trillions in foreign aid this country has thrown away.

Disagree. Make him AG like his dad, let him clean up the FBI. Or make him head of CIA, and disband, disable it, start a new intelligence agency carefully controlled by law.

Kamala, who has made a long series of campaign appearances at pre-schools and kindergartens in key swing states, was visibly shaken when a member of her staff informed her that voters must have achieved age 18 in order to cast a vote for her.

"It's a shame, and I feel as if I've misspent a lot of campaign resources and effort. I really felt a connection with all these pre-schoolers..... as if we were communicating on a peer-to-peer level. They've been a little stingy with major contributions, and knowing now that they can't cast a vote is a bit of a disappointment."

My gut reaction was not good. No one seems to be able to show voting by illegals would be - illegal. Harris can pick Clinton, Newsom, Obama(?) as a running mate and I would bet there’s no depths they won’t go to retain power. I guess I’m just channeling my worst nightmares...

Voting by non-citizens in federal elections IS illegal - there's no doubt about that. But there is nothing to stop non-citizens from registering and voting, since all they have to do is check a box on the form saying they are a citizen. There is no proof required - anywhere, as far as I know - for federal elections. I believe some states require proof of citizenship to vote in state elections, but not federal.

Chip Roy got a law passed in the House to make it illegal. But......

Yep. And violating a citizen's rights has been illegal for a long time... Congress and judges have no trouble ignoring that, either.

Yup, NVRA voted into law in 1993, Clinton's first year, only year of his two terms with a Trifica.

You know, Kim, you may have hit on it.

another way for a 3rd term. . . Kamala chooses Obama for VP.

It could happen in this banana republic.
