I watched the debate and was stunned at how bad Joe is. I’m not surprised. What does surprise me is that his handlers that know how bad he is thought this was all a good idea.
That they did this shows how nuts these people are. Their lack of awareness and good judgement. No wonder the world is on fire right now.

Having worked with the elderly for quite a chunk of my life, I know I am looking at a man that is so frail that he doesn’t have the physical strength to speak loud enough for the event.
He’s no longer mentally present enough to know his mouth is hanging open as he stands there staring, trying to follow, he doesn’t have the presence of mind to clear his throat, he can’t enunciate words or remember things correctly. I doubt very much that he followed most of what Trump said. He’s just a frail, elderly man being used.

But all this is also a national security threat because he’s clearly not all there and there is no denying this.
There should be all out rage against the machine for putting Americans in this place.. where a man that the wind could blow over is supposedly running the free world.

Donald did very well. He showed self control, and what I saw was a great deal of patience used because of course he himself also struggled to understand the babbling moments that made no sense- but he treated Joe with dignity and let these moments roll by.. when he could have drawn attention to them. If Donald had even looked at Joe and said “Can you repeat that” it would have shown how bad his speech is and yet Donald didn’t do any such thing.. when there was clearly just mumbles. His passion was good actually when he went on his rants because it showed the stunning contrast between these two men.. one is very much alive and the other is not at all.. unable to hardly speak.

Trump made clear efforts to attack the job Joe has done and not so much the man he is today. They called eachother liars, but then this is what they all do- every single time.

My one complaint is that Trump spent too much time talking about what he did.. too much time in the past. We all know that he’s got detailed plans about what he’s going to do- and that is what we desperately want to hear about. THAT is what would give a nation on it’s knees right now some hope that we need.. So it was a bit of a loss that he didn’t get into his plans better.. because I doubt they’ll be a next debate with these two.

I was disappointed that Donald didn’t answer directly the “what are you going to do for all these drug addicts” question because that is something ravaging NH in particular.
Donald didn’t ever really answer that instead going here and there.. not dodging the question, just seemingly choosing to spend his time on other things.

The clear winner is Trump.. the melt down of the Left is glorious.

Let them keep Biden, they’ve done this to themselves. However, their voters have proven they’ll vote for anything- so they will likely easily vote for anyone else they put forward at this point.

As a potential victim, um I mean constituent, of Rep Ming, I try to keep an eye on his activities.  Yesterday, he tweeted about his support from one of his ilk, former Rep Melbourne Moran Jr, of Wanderlust Therapeutic Services LLC.

I will refer to him as “Alderman Moron,” not only because it’s fun but because he really is a moron.  Plus, he’s a genuinely nasty person.

Therapists, which Alderman Moron identifies himself as one, often say to their clients, “Let’s explore (insert topic of interest or personal issue here).”  But before we explore the conduct of Alderman Moron, I want to call attention to his in-chamber comments on Catholicism, which Grokster Beth Scaer noted here, here, and here, in what makes a good trilogy of public service messages.  Further reading on his antics is available in the Grok archives, but let’s get into the whole predatory thing by watching this 7-minute video.

I know 7 minutes is a big ask in these modern times of short attention, but it’s a trove of important details on the backdrop.  Many side trips can be made in the form of future articles, but I’ll give you the 30-second ad.  Alderman Moron throws his professional credentials around to attack Laurie Ortolano, both in the chamber and on the airwaves.  They’re multi-pointed attacks loaded with all kinds of insults and accusations.

Laurie, who has plenty of city hall battlefield experience, wasn’t having any of it and is suing Alderman Moron. Right now is a good time to remind the readers that Ming is a lawyer and enjoys using the signature comment “not YOUR lawyer.”  Maybe our mayor, also a lawyer, might want to retain Ming to do the job of Attorney Bolton. Ming could be less expensive than Attorney Hilliard & Co., but that’s a discussion for another time.

While I don’t have the MSW & LICSW credentials that Alderman Moron has, my undergraduate degree is in psychology, and I certainly recognize PROJECTION when I see it.  Calling Laurie Ortolano a predator is projection.  If you watch the 7 minute video in its entirety, you will hear her make an excellent quip into the public comment mic.  “Birds of a dark feather flock together.”  Ming is flocking with Alderman Moron, and that “dark feather” must be kept out of the Senate chamber.

I’ve been muddling through the post-debate analysis, and the Democrats have a problem. All that effort they’ve been putting in, projecting Joe Biden’s mental decline onto President Trump, just got smashed against the ragged rocks of reality.

Even CNN was forced to admit that Joe looked bad – On CNN.

BREAKING: CNN panics immediately after the presidential debate, says Democrats are now figuring out how to replace Biden before the election.

Holy s**t.

None of the people or groups he mentioned seems to have sensed that this is where Biden is mentally. That says a lot about the progressive propaganda machine’s ability to deceive and the willingness of the Left’s political-industrial complex to swallow whatever it served them. Talk about getting high on your own supply.

We are clearly (clear as Vodka, comrade?) living in entirely different worlds, and ours just crashed into theirs, and they don’t know what to do next. In other words, maybe there wasn’t any plan to replace Biden all this time, and now, suddenly, the growing consensus is that he’s unfit for office.

Wasn’t it clear when their special prosecutor claimed Biden wasn’t competent to stand trial?

Nope.

But folks willing to bet money on the November Election have noticed.

Post-debate “betting” odds aren’t helping.

So what are they left with? Well, He’s not Donald Trump, and that may still work for the core 30 percent of Lefties from sea to rising sea who don’t care about anything but party affiliation.

That leaves a lot of everyone else, including disenfranchised minorities, union workers, and other common Dem constituencies crushed by Sundown Joe and the toe-tapping Trotskyites running the White House.

That opens up states they probably thought they had locked up. And November is Coming.

On June 9th, we shared the sad news that Tractor Supply (TSC) had gone woke. The CEO had embraced LGBTQIA+ employee training, funding pride/drag events, added a DEI Council, Funding sex changes, Climate change activism, Pride month decorations in the office, DEI hiring practices, and LGBTQIA+ workplace events. Yesterday, TSC did a complete 180.

June 27, 2024

For more than 85 years, Tractor Supply has been focused on one thing…serving Life Out Here. Every day our 50,000 Team Members take care of our customers like family. We deeply value our relationship with our customers and the communities we call home.

We are passionate about being good neighbors in our hometowns because without you, we would not be what we are. It is imperative to us that our customers’ hard-earned dollars are taking care of our Team Members and the communities we all love. As you supported us, we have invested millions of dollars in veteran causes, emergency response, animal shelters, state fairs, rodeos and farmers markets. We have also invested in the future of rural America. We are the largest supporter of FFA and have longstanding relationships with 4-H and other educational organizations.

We work hard to live up to our Mission and Values every day and represent the values of the communities and customers we serve. We have heard from customers that we have disappointed them. We have taken this feedback to heart.

Going forward, we will ensure our activities and giving tie directly to our business. For instance, this means we will:

1. No longer submit data to the Human Rights Campaign
2. Refocus our Team Member Engagement Groups on mentoring, networking and supporting the business
3. Further focus on rural America priorities including ag education, animal welfare, veteran causes and being a good neighbor and stop sponsoring nonbusiness activities like pride festivals and voting campaigns
4. Eliminate DEI roles and retire our current DEI goals while still ensuring a respectful environment
5. Withdraw our carbon emission goals and focus on our land and water conservation efforts

We will continue to listen to our customers and Team Members. Your trust and confidence in us are of the utmost importance, and we don’t take that lightly.

As we look forward to celebrating our nation’s independence, we also celebrate our more than 50,000 team members across 2,250 stores. Rural communities are the backbone of our nation and what make America great. We are honored to be a part of them.

We are always here and ready to serve you and your family with our legendary service for the life you love. See you in the stores.

Whatever y’all did, worked.

Congratulations. TSC is more interested in your business than appeasing the woke establishment harpies.

Good job!

And the best part? If you happen to be into DEI or LGBTQ or whatever, they’ll serve you like everyone else.
