    You’re referring to Trump of course. Yes the mental illness”management” by his staff has been documented for years and he is not fit to be President. It seems we agree on this.

    Joe Biden; is an elderly man running for president on the democrat ticket. He is long known for being gaffe prone and having impulse control issues and is now being very tightly controlled by the handlers in his campaign. These are symptoms of senescence, a form of age related mental illness.
    You have, on numerous occasions stated that you think Trump is mentally ill. That this mental illness is, as you say, “a danger to the nation and the planet”.
    If mental illness in any form is disqualifying to the presidency, are you willing to go on the record here at Rebanes and state that Joe Biden should abandon his pursuit of the presidency.

    Trump’s rally; ast night drew more people than Elton John’s concert. 17,000 plus. Warren drew 700. I have a gut feeling that the left is denying the inevitable. Trump will trounce any of the clown car occupants.

    What are you so afraid of Punch……? I mean you said you didn’t care who was nominated on the democrat side as long as they beat Trump. By your own standards “mental illness” is disqualifying.
    And hey…..you, still got the gay one, and the guy who wants to give everybody $1000 dollars, and the crazy one from Texas….think of Marianne Williamson as Texas very own Reinette Senum. You’ve got the loopy one who thinks wealthy people are going to just sit there while she picks their pockets. You’ve got the tall one from New York who gave his with control of a half billion dollars in tax payer money that nobody is really sure where it all went….Mayor Cuckold. You’ve got the black guy who isn’t as smart as Barack Obama. You’ve got Willie Browns former sperm receptacle. You’ve got that guy from Colorado who went on the record as watching porn with his mom…..a charming anecdote. You’ve got the brother of that guy who doxxed a bunch of Trump supporters
    Hmmmm who did I leave out?
    Anyway Punch…..why is it so difficult to live up to your principles. That the mentally ill shouldn’t be president.

    Trump has had positive poll numbers (ask me how I know) and yet you claim he’s mentally ill. You claim he’s a threat to the nation. You claim he’s a threat to the planet. Really no trouble at all for the Biden machine to keep a desperately flawed and increasingly disturbed Grampa Joe out of the limelite lest his “difficulties” come to light.

    The headline yesterday was Warren packs them in. Big crowd. 700, which is huge for a Democrat in Iowa or New Hampshire. Trump shows up and breaks the attendance record held by Elton John. Reminds me of 2016 when the popinjays were pooh-poohing Trump, his low poll numbers, his unfavorables, and lest we forget, crowd size don’t mean anything….as he was breaking arena records held by ZZ Top and others.
    Now, crowd size don’t mean anything, but he sure packs them just in to hear a guy talk. No Bruce Springsteen, no hip hop stars, just a man and a microphone….smashing records with thousands outside watching on big screens. One man with a little podium. Go figure.
    Shades of 2016. Well, at least Trump is ahead of all Dems in South Carolina. That is one state. Maybe Trump can pick up another state. Looks like a long shot, but maybe Trump can pick up three states by Labor Day after the next Labor Day.
    It’ all goes by the Electoral College. No wonder the Leftinistas want to elimate the Electoral College, the US Senate, stack the Supreme Court, and redo the Constitution. They don’t care much for America.
    Trump can sleep well tonight. All the excitement is on the Right, on the sunny side of the street. All the Left has is Trump voters are racists, all 60 million of them. At least that puts me in good company and they are a pleasant fun crowd to be hanging around with. All the haters have is gloom and doom. Guess they have figured out it is easier to atrrack flys with honey than vinegar.
    I keep waiting for the Dems to come up with some realistic ideas. Nah, just joking. They have no ideas, no joy, no gratitude, just a bunch of old liberal angry white guys filled with self loathing.
    One state at a time. In 2016, when Trump went from 1 in 5 chance, to 1 in 4 to 1 in 3 chance, I began feeling pretty good. Real good.

    So, that where Don Rogers got the idea which led to him losing his ever lovin’ mind.
    The BIG Lie: “It’s harder to get cold pills than an AR-15. Something needs to change.” —David Hogg
    Listen to the children! I miss piglet.
    And more quotes:
    Food for thought: “How many of the people who ‘can’t afford’ to pay for their own birth control, which they claim is a basic health necessity, also have subscriptions to Netflix? I’d like to take a look at that graph.” —Matt Walsh
    Friendly fire: “I just don’t think we should be rooting for a recession, because that’s not good for America.” —MSNBC’s Richard Stengel
    Still inaccurate: “What matters was a man [Michael Brown] was shot, an unarmed man, in the middle of the street, by police officers and left to die. And I think that’s where our focus should be.” —Sen. Elizabeth Warren, whose recent “murdered by a white police officer” lie, along with Sen. Kamala Harris’s, was glossed over by PolitiFact
    Demo-gogues: “We have a racism in American that is as old as America itself. … But we have always tried, until now, to change that, until this president.” —Beto O’Rourke
    Annals of the absurd: “We must as a country buy [‘assault’] weapons [and] take them off the streets altogether.” —Beto O’Rourke
    Never let a crisis go to waste: “Our officers need help. … They need help with gun control. They need help with keeping these weapons out of these people’s hands. This government, on the federal and state level, don’t want to do anything about getting these guns off the street and getting them out of the hands of criminals. … And if the state and federal government doesn’t want to stand up to the NRA and some other folks, then let us police ourselves.” —Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney (“On Kenney’s watch, Philadelphia has been plagued with gun violence. The homicide rate is the highest it has been in over a decade; in 2018, the rate increased 11 percent from the previous year. Kenney, and most other liberals advocating gun control, are ignoring the facts: The overwhelming majority of gun-related crimes are committed by people who own guns illegally. Crafting legislation that affects legal owners will have no impact on this.” —National Review’s Christopher Tremoglie)
    Non Compos Mentis: “It is an affront that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, under pressure from President Trump, would deny entry to representatives of the U.S. government. Trump’s Muslim ban is what Israel is implementing, this time against two duly elected Members of Congress.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar
    And last… “Israeli law forbids entry to any non-citizen who ‘knowingly issues a public call for boycotting Israel.’ What Omar and Tlaib (and their media cheerleaders and anti-Semitic supporters) were demanding was special treatment that violated Israeli’s own laws.” —Sean Davis

    As the Tlbiab turns. Omar unleaded!!!! Question? Why to the school districts that dump the most money per pupil always end up in the shithole stats? Why are the worse places for black to live always run by race baiting hustler, frauds, phonies, and charlatans.?
    “It goes on and on. There is much more. Omar says she is doing her “job as [a member] of Congress” by endlessly haranguing Israel. But many wonder whether there are conditions closer to home to which she should turn her attention. A local news outlet headlined yesterday: “Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District Listed As Worst District For Black Americans To Live.”
    “Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, represented by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, was listed this week as the worst congressional district in the country for black Americans.
    “The financial website 24/7 Wall Street compiled a list of the 30 worst districts for black Americans by using data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Specifically, the list-makers honed in on metrics like median-household income, homeownership, unemployment, poverty, and educational achievement.
    “The numbers produce a stark picture of the 5th Congressional District, which encompasses Minneapolis and several surrounding suburbs.
    “Will Congresswoman Omar turn her attention to the status of her fellow African-Americans in her own Congressional district, or will she continue to prioritize her obsessive anti-Israel crusade? I’m guessing the latter.”

    “You don’t have to do this, Joe, you really don’t,” Obama told Biden before the 76-year-old formally launched his campaign in April, according to the New York Times.
    The Times states Obama huddled with top Biden aides in March to implore they insure that the former vice president does not “damage his legacy” or “embarrass himself.”
    The newspaper further reports Obama and Biden met over lunch last, where the former president urged the White House hopeful to recruit fresher faces to his campaign. “He has communicated his frustration that Mr. Biden’s closest advisers are too old and out of touch with the current political climate — urging him to include more younger aides,” the Times said.

    Matt Walsh disavows The Daily Wire!
    “This week, the heroes at Media Matters released a stunning exposé about the website you are currently reading. In a report subtly titled “The Daily Wire Is A Cesspool Of Bigotry And Hatred,” Media Matters sifts through seven months’ worth of podcasts to highlight the most egregious statements made by Michael Knowles, Andrew Klavan, and this author.”
    “Having watched the video and read the report, I am aghast and stunned by the horrific bigotry of my co-workers and myself.
    “The comments highlighted by Media Matters truly shock the conscience. For example, in reference to the blackface scandal involving Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, Michael is Knowles claims that Northam’s support for killing infant children after they are born is morally worse than the insensitive costume he wore decades ago. Knowles should realize that killing babies cannot be morally worse than anything because babies have no value. Obviously, we would all agree that, say, destroying endangered sea turtle eggs or shooting a bald eagle would be morally abominable and possibly even worse than blackface, but the execution of an infant child does not rise anywhere near that level of severity. Knowles’ failure to understand this basic truth is unacceptable and inexcusable.
    “In another clip, Michael Knowles is documented claiming that pedophilia is being “normalized” in our culture. This, again, is an outrageous statement with no basis in reality whatsoever. Just because young boys are dancing in drag at gay bars and posing with nude men doesn’t mean pedophilia is being normalized. Rather, we are normalizing sexually charged interactions between prepubescent children and grown adults, which is completely different from pedophilia for reasons that GLAAD can surely explain.
    “Andrew Klavan, who seemed to get the most screen time in the hate montage, makes a number of wildly bigoted statements. For instance, he observes that men are attracted to the female body. I can’t quite figure out how to be offended by that remark but I trust that there must be a reason, so I will be offended by default. In one especially misogynistic outburst, Klavan claims that feminism has given women the false idea that their opinions matter because they’re women. Klavan seems to be arguing that all opinions should be judged not on gendered grounds but on the actual merits of the opinions themselves. That, at least, is one way to interpret it. The other way to interpret it is that Andrew Klavan hates all women and wishes they would die. Media Matters urges the latter interpretation, and I’m afraid I must agree. Elsewhere, Klavan calls Somalia a “hellscape.” This is appalling. Somalia is a lovely country and I plan to vacation there with my family this fall…….
    “I likewise regret saying that some of the women who made MeToo accusations were “also culpable.” At the time, I thought that perhaps some of the actresses who chose to sleep with Hollywood producers in order to get film roles are at least somewhat responsible for their actions and probably shouldn’t have used sex as a tool for career advancement. I now see that women can never be held accountable for anything. Women are strong, independent, competent, and not responsible for their own behavior.
    “There are many other offensive remarks included in the compilation. I am so filled with disgust at myself and the other hosts that I can’t continue writing about it. The tears are flowing onto my keyboard as I type. Everyone at Starbucks is staring at me. Let me close by saying this: I disavow The Daily Wire and everyone who works here. I don’t disavow the paychecks, to be clear. I still like those. The paychecks didn’t do anything wrong, so it would be inappropriate to penalize them. I should also stipulate that I will continue working here and saying all of the same kinds of things I’ve said all along. But just know that in my head and in my heart I stand in solidarity with Media Matters. I hear them. I believe them. I appreciate them.”
    https://www.dailywire.com/news/50382/walsh-i-disavow-daily-wire-matt-walsh
    I, a local Nevada County deplorable dreg of society bitter clinger feels much regret for posting Daily Wire links and now see the errors of my ways. If Media Matters calls the site a cesspool of bigotry and hate, then who am I to argue with such luminaries as Media Matter, Politcofact, or Roberta Cross. Forgive me.

    Is it just me, but has anyone else noticed that every single time Trump’s favorables among blacks (and Hispanic Americans to a lesser degree) inch up, the nation is immediately showered with a 24/7 barrage of “Trump is a racist” non stop carpet bombing for days until the numbers dip back down. Then, sure as day follows night, the parrots of the Enemy of the People wave new poll numbers in air with glee. Every single time. Too many examples to post….just something I have been acutely aware of.
    Another quasi related example goes back to the Obama years. I would read of Border Patrol agents being ordered to unlock pedestrian gates at night at crossings, new influxes of illegals crossing the border, hordes of Mexican unaccompanied children telling ICE they were from Central America….then the Obama Administration would make the news with a roundup of illegals somewhere. Every time the negative news of lax enforcement of the border hit, as sure as day follows night, Obama would do a symbolic raid on some place or some group and then it all would die down and get back to status quo. When things began to get out of hand, Obama himself used the pulpit to tell non Mexican Nationals to not try to come, it’s too dangerous, it’s a humanitarian crisis. Not safe. Then, everything would go back to normal. It was as if negative press was driving these symbolic gestures.
    I have noticed the same thing with Trumps numbers among blacks. Every single time they inch up, the torrent of hate Trump is unleashed. I remember a stunned Jorge Ramos looking at the numbers post- Election 2016 and was dumbfounded that 31%-32% of the Hispanics voted for Trump. He remarked they (the media) had not done their job. They need to do a better job educating the Hispanics and other minority groups.
    When the Popinjay or the other unbalanced detractors leave here with their departing jabs that we are just a tiny handful of Circle of Jerks, few in number and out of the mainstream, I remind myself that we few little insignificant outcasts were joined by over 60 million voters in 2016. Suddenly, despite all the attempts to persuade me otherwise, I am not alone wandering in the wilderness.

    ISRAEL: Sure. But no Nazi crap while you’re here.
    TLAIB: Never mind.

    She asked specifically for permission to visit her grandmother, saying she won’t promote boycotts. Then, after Israel said yes, she says she won’t visit if she can’t promote boycotts.
    So, it was just a stunt to prolong the news cycle of attacking Israel.
    Never mind, grandma

    @ 754 – Then they got trumped by the notion of buying Greenland. What is interesting about it is that the folks that live there are not allowed to own property. Give them their homes and land. That actually gives us a win-win-win that would give putin the piles.

    Miftah’s sponsorship of the Omar-Tlaib trip and the stated intent of the two congresswomen to promote a boycott of Israel, coupled with the new law barring visits promoting boycotts, provide ample justification for Israel’s decision to keep the two out. Indeed, Israel might want to rethink allowing visits sponsored by Miftah, boycotts aside. Arguably, Israel owes that much to the victims of the terrorists Miftah celebrates.
    Israel, though, is a liberal democracy. It tolerates a great deal of venom from those who want to destroy the Jewish state.
    But its tolerance has limits. Omar and Tlaib exceeded them.
    ——————————-
    From David French, NR
    “First, the group actually published blood libel, posting an article that accused “the Jews [of using] the blood of Christians in the Jewish Passover.” When pro-Israel bloggers condemned the article, Miftah first claimed that the attacks against the piece were part of a “smear campaign” and minimized the reference to blood libel as merely “briefly addressed.”
    Bill sez: Sound familiar? Every time Omar is asked a question that might expose her relationships to her brother, those that advocate to destruction of Israel, her dubious marriages, tax filings, possible immigration fraud, and her views on female multination, she always says it’s “a smear campaign”. Anyway,
    let’s continue:
    “But that’s not all, not by a long shot. The group celebrates terrorists, including an evil woman who helped murder 13 Israeli children. In an article titled “Let Us Honor Our Own,” a Miftah contributor describes Dalal Al Mughrabi as “a Palestinian fighter who was killed during a military operation against Israel in 1978” and as one of the Palestinian people’s “national heroes.”
    “The so-called “military operation” is more widely known as the “Coastal Road Massacre,” a bus hijacking that resulted in the deaths of 38 Israeli civilians, including 13 children.
    “Al Mughrabi is hardly the only terrorist Miftah celebrates. It described female suicide bomber Wafa Idrees as the “the beginning of a string of Palestinian women dedicated to sacrificing their lives for the cause.” It singles out for recognition Hanadi Jaradat, a woman who blew herself up in a restaurant, killing 21 people (including four children).
    “The founder of Miftah herself, Ms. Ashrawi, excused jihadist violence by telling an interviewer that “you cannot somehow adopt the language of either the international community or the occupier by describing anybody who resists as terrorist.”
    “And of course Miftah published an article asking whether Israel was a proper homeland for the Jewish people:
    “I can keep going, but the evidence above should be sufficient to establish the truth. It would and should be a national scandal if GOP congressmen intended to partner with white nationalists during a visit overseas. It should be a national scandal that members of the American government intended to partner with vicious anti-Semites on their own propaganda tour.
    “After its thunderous denunciations of Bibi Netanyahu and Donald Trump, will pundits, editorial boards, and reporters take a look at the scandal hiding in plain sight? Will they hold Tlaib and Omar accountable for their vile associations? Now is a good time to demonstrate their commitment to reporting on the full context of international disputes and exposing one of the world’s oldest hatreds. We shall see how they respond.”

    Andrew McCarthy weighs in
    While this rhetoric is abrasive in the Trumpian style, Israel’s exclusion of Omar and Tlaib makes eminent sense. Since when must a country, particularly one that daily confronts a terrorism challenge the likes of which we have never experienced, roll out the red carpet for aliens who mean it harm and encourage its enemies?
    Naturally, because the alliance of Islamists and leftists calls the tune to which our media-Democrat complex dances, we are enduring gaseous denunciations from official Washington. Progressive groups are echoing Omar’s latest blather about how the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “insult[ed] democratic values” (as if a nation’s survival were not a democratic value). Despite this precious sensitivity about insults, Omar could not help herself but add that President Trump is an “Islamophobe.” That term, shrewdly developed by sharia supremacists, intimates that critical examination of Islam – particularly, its doctrinal calls for jihad against non-believers – is racist.

    Toes @9:48 Amen, brother. Been preaching it here for years that Muslim hatred for Jews is foundational. Without it, the whole Muhammed cult of the Koran can be seen as the Jews of the 7th C saw it: An quasi-illiterate’s interpretation of stories heard while a young man. Islam is no religion, and free and humane people owe it no respect whatsoever. It has be at war with Western Civilization for 1400 years- enough. Don’t like that? Q: What was Muhammad? A: A highwayman and pedophile.
