[Has any reader witnessed an administration that in two years has managed to be so incompetent, corrupt, and spewing so many material lies per day? Every commentator of conservative and libertarian persuasion has now written several articles listing in detail the Biden administrations atrocious handling of the economy, energy, crime, border, public education, drugs, foreign policy, … . Can anyone mention ONE THING that they have gotten right? And to cover it all up before 8 November, they and their lamestream are telling their dumber-than-doorknob constituents that everything is just hunky-dory, the country has never been better. And to put a ribbon on it, half of America believes that horseshit. gjr]

“The suspect who attacked Paul Pelosi on Friday with a hammer is allegedly in the U.S. illegally, according to Fox News”. (That would be about a 20-year overstay on a visa).

If they were struggling over a hammer & the perp struck Pelosi AFTER the cops came in and saw them, why would the police not have just shot him? (The perp, not Paul). Seems that’s what a LEO who wants to keep Pelosi alive would do.

No way to tell if this is real, but it mirrors so many actual incidences I have come across in my life:
“During the lockdown, I went on a shopping spree on eBay EBAY, -1.19% and Amazon AMZN, -0.94%, and I have a closet full of shoes and sports jackets that I don’t like and have little opportunity to wear. That brings me to Halloween. I just can’t do it. I have not been invited to any parties, and the prospect of opening my door to a bunch of happy kids screaming “trick or treat!” does not fill me with the spirit of the holiday season.
I can’t afford to buy candy for the neighborhood kids. It would be another $100 gone! I’m considering instituting a “black out” for Halloween night.”

The board wrote that Fetterman’s “life experience and maturity” were also concerns because he “lived off his family’s money for much of his life,” and had “little experience in holding real jobs or facing the problems of working people.”
It also cited Fetterman’s lack of apology over in an incident in which he pulled a shotgun on an unarmed Black jogger after hearing gunshots, and his flip-flop on supporting fracking.
“We believe Mr. Oz is the better bet for Pennsylvania,” the board wrote, before writing that Fetterman’s health stemming from the stroke he suffered earlier this year was not an issue for them.
“His lack of transparency, however, in refusing to release his medical records is troubling. It suggests an impulse to conceal and a mistrust of the people. All candidates for a major elected office should release their medical records, as did Mr. Oz. If you want privacy, don’t run for public office,” it added.

He was running against one of the most corrupt and vile candidates the Dems ever fielded. He was the far better choice for POTUS. He did much good for our nation and ushered in a far better SCOTUS than we have had in decades. A second term for Trump would have vastly better for our nation and the world than the corrupt idiot you voted for, that’s for sure. The election was “stolen” by the news media, the social media, online search engines, the Dems in congress and various corrupt govt agencies. You will never believe the evidence right in front of you, so there is no point going ’round and ’round with you.
