[@alitlweird]

I used to have a giant, intellectual man-crush on Victor Davis Hanson… I listened to everything he had to say about everything. It’s hard for me to listen to him after he publicly stated that biden legitimately won the 2020 election and “the reason” Donald Trump “lost” was because he “failed to secure the suburban female vote… blah blah blah…” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ VDH has never explained how biden garnered more votes in areas than there are legal, registered voters in those areas. Biden somehow got 81 million votes… but when you add up the populations of the districts he won, there are barely 35-40 million people in those districts. And that’s ALL people. Including women and children.

[@mchapman1928]

I’ve followed politics for nearly 60 years. When Barack H. Obama came on the scene, I had a bad feeling. No, it wasn’t his race, it was the speed with which he was in the limelight. He came out of nowhere, to become the front runner of the Democrat Party for President. He was basically a nobody. A community organizer from Chicago, a state Senator then a junior Senator in our Congress. He maintained no voting record. Clever. His rise to the top was a very well choreographed plan to put him in power to CHANGE our nation. He campaigned on CHANGE. Not all change is good, we have since learned. He and Michelle, were the first President and First Lady I have ever heard state this country was bad, wrong, not the greatest nation in the world……be not proud of her. I was repulsed by their attitude. From the beginning he was anti law enforcement. He admitted once he knew nothing about the case, but the policeman was wrong. That is Obama in the nutshell. He’s a divider, not a unifier. His ideology is to breakdown everything the USA stands for and replace it with a socialist society. He openly admitted he’s a socialist. He was put forward as a Democrat and loyal Dems voted for him. What a fraud. He has done more damage to this great nation than anyone else in history. He’s still causing damage…..he’s probably in his 3rd term covertly calling the shots with barely coherent Biden, at the podium. My first impression of BHO was accurate. He was the Trojan Horse. We let him in.

Absolutely correct. Since MLK and the Civil Rights Movement we have been working toward a colorblind society.

No longer based on character and/or merit.

The $1 trillion interest payments are looking like they might not be annual events any more? The Policy is directed by Wealthy Guys who can afford to buy Congressmen a Seat. The policy has not changed in 40 years. Obama was forced to accept the Cabinet the Wealthy Guys handed Him. Blame needs to go to the people who can afford to invest millions in the Electoral Industry. In 2020 more than $15 billion went into that election. What do You suppose will the cost be in 2024?
