[Have no idea why Trump has ‘buried’ the Project 2025 position paper generated by Heritage.  Its purpose was to elicit public discussion of conservative oriented policies, most of which Trump et al continue to endorse.  Such peremptory emotional eruptions by our former president continue to give me pause about his chances this November.

    Oh…My…God……!

    The Harris campaign held a Zoom “Women for Kamala” fundraiser event featuring Charlotte Clymer, who appeared in a heavily filtered image.
    Clymer was previously known as Charles Clymer, a male feminist activist who was kicked out of the movement after being accused of being abusive to women. Since then, he rebranded himself into a self-identified woman named Charlotte who advocates for abortion.

    Images that will haunt your every remaining minute!

    Definite Batman Super Villain vibes there.
    It’s funny how modern politics became a referendum between regular folks and mentally-ill people conjoined with their enablers.
    I think the point that psul, the guy who thinks that Admiral Levine is a woman, misses is that these people have pushed their way into positions of authority. Personally, I don’t think that crazy people should be military officers, cabinet officials, HR gatekeepers, but then that’s just me.
    You want to wear a dress and get your dick chopped off in a sort of religious fetish? Go for it. Just don’t get anywhere near elementary schools, Navy nuclear programs, or city councils. Stick to bartending or concert promotion.
    Just reading the newspaper editorial section tells you that the age of Xanax is upon us.

    Wow…you really need to ego protect. I have to ask myself……why?
    Anyway here’s what I wrote the day the Vance pick was announced:

    Oh well…..looks like he picked someone else who’ll shiv him the moment he turns his back!
    Can’t (well hadn’t been able to until just recently) keep his mouth shut when that would serve him better and just can’t pick decent subordinates!
    …..sigh!

    Somehow you mentally converted that into an endorsement. Remember when you said “Vance was your choice”.
    Since no sane person could make that leap I’d like my “I stand corrected”.

    Once again the quote by Vance:
    “I hate the police. Given the number of negative experiences I’ve had in the past few years, I can’t imagine what a Black guy goes through.”

Today we mark about four decades of the federal bureaucracy (deep state) being packed by partisan leftist yes-men (registered and donating Democrats) as confirmed by government statistics and union memberships. And who are these “everyone” who see this “right-wing deep state maneuver” in Project 2025? Or is that another progressive allegation attempting to pass as evidence?

    Jaime Raskin…..giving Hank “Tippy” Johnson a run for the most idiotic democrat.

    The democratic world must stand up for the rule of law in Venezuela and oppose Maduro’s assault on the electoral process and free speech. The right-wing attack on democratic institutions anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere.

    Conveniently ignoring that Maduro is an avowed Marxist….
    Well maybe not! I’ll give him this….he understands that his constituents lack the mental horsepower to be able to make the connection!
