    He didn't seem like he cared about anything other than appeasing his lobbyists, and he did a phenomenal job at that.

    The voters are who to blame for electing a guy who sees dead people and has "been fighting for over 200 years." His cognitive decline was on
    full display long before he was ever elected.


    I talk to people and they work and have families and don't watch much TV and maybe look at politics on a need to bases. There is a high percentage of people on autopilot. It's a shame these peoples' votes have the same affect yours does... But it is what it is.

    BTW, I don't think Joe won... The Elites rigged and cheated... and I don't care because this term is way better than the other term would have been. He has a better cabinet, vision and enthusiasm.

    I'm not suer what Joe knew or didn't know... I think the Biden family are opportunistic... all of them... saw this as an opportunity to cash in and they did.

    People with Alzheimer's don't suffer, per se, because they don't remember/know their family suffers the most because they experience the challenges.

    Angus Young from ACDC recalls how hard it was to see his brother Malcolm deteriorate in front of his eyes. The difference between Angus Young and the Bidens is that Angus didn't try to profit off Malcolm's condition.


    But what Andrew Johnson and Trump have in common is: they didn't pardon cold-blooded killers like Biden did and I don't think that any of Trump's turkeys have re-offended since being pardoned (unlike the Biden amigos.)


    I was curious about pardon levels and noticed that Biden wasn't the only large numbered President... Anyway, Pardons are Okay... Auto-pen bad. A President should know about each and every case and it should be his signature.

    I think this whole auto-pen thing will change in the future... Why have a President if all you need is a Deep State and an Auto-pen. This cheapened the presidency.

    I don't see it that way. I don't honestly think Biden is senile either. It's all an act. There's no way that Biden nor Kamala are as dumb as they seem. But the voters though.. they saw Biden and Kamala acting dumb and something about it made them feel safe. (I sure as hell didn't feel very safe!)

    There are low information people out there... In this echo we have people still talking like Trump was colluding with Putin...

    We are now getting emails showing the motive behind all the stuff Barry, Hillary and the Cabinet did towards Trump during the 2016 el-rection and his 1st term. Never mind Trump not being a politician and not knowing his way in Washington... Being thwarted by Democrats, RINOs, Deep State players he did not so bad.

    I feel this term will be historic because now he knows about all the corrupt players and he has a team that is on his side. They are going to put America 1st and expose all the corruption.

    I think Hillary and Bill are done because of all the recent stuff coming out about the Clinton Foundation... Looks like they may open the investigation on the Clinton Foundation again.

    Moreover, I think there's enough with the Russia Hoax that will sink her ship.

    I think Comey is done as well... Each day that goes by more and more stuff is released on him as well.

    Other player as well... You know the list... Will be going down.

    I hope that Barry gets whats coming as well... He is an ex-president and I know what the optics might be... But that @sshole was out throwing his support for that commie running for Mayor in New York and yesterday he was on a pod-cast talking sh!t about Trump's efforts to end the Russia and Ukraine war. It looked pathetic... Like he's doing whatever he can to look relevant.

    I think will all the things they are exposing right now will help in Trump's appeals to these law-fare cases. There is now a lot of evidence out there that he was targeted. Put that with all the rules they broke to try and get a conviction in his law-fare cases.

    Anyway, more to come.

    I saw that! Such good news.

    So... Apparently politicians have been using different ways to get elected... They might try to use policy arguments... BUT NOPE... they
    use other things as you are more aware of personally.

    Some of those things were made illegal. In some cases, "independent" groups were set up to make sure things were on the level.

    But we are dealing with people who can't win by playing by the rules. So they will **always** bend (or break, if they can get away with it) the rules for their own benefit.

    What we need is a new set of incentives to do the right things, and a new set of disincentives to keep them from doing the wrong thing too much.

    And, of course, to always stay vigilent.

    I think the democrats are done... and will be for some time.

    I think so too. IHMO: the midterms will be devistating for the Dems. Especially if their operatives (like Michigan's Benson) are in prison so that a fair election can happen.

    That's also why the media is pushing "back to school" gimmicks so hard. They can hardly wait to get back to indoctrinating the kids. (They
    don't go back until September here.)

    The "Back to school" push is usually from the retailers who want parents to spend $$$ on stuff their kids don't need.

    Something amazing happened yesterday: My wife got invited to become the leader of a leftist organization! We assume it's because she's a black immigrant, which checks off many of their boxes. But what they don't
    know is that she's ultra-MAGA, she sleeps with her copy of "The Art of
    the Deal" next to her every night, and that she's a very intelligent
    and outspoken person. I'm hoping that she accepts the offer and turns
    some tables!

    Let me know if that happens so that I can get some ear plugs because of the leftist screaming and stay in my basement for a while so that I don't get hit by leftist exploding heads.

    Congress needs to pass laws. There needs to be stricter laws around
    the use of the auto-pen.

    There already are.

    I recall Barry saying he used it once to sign
    a bill because he was off to some foreign country and he didn't have
    time to sign it.

    In this case, there's a paper trail with Osama's authorization, who used the auto pen, etc. So that would make it an "official" signature.

    This kinda makes sense.... Whereas Joe's auto-pen
    signature was on almost everything.

    Without the process and paper trail around use of the auto-pen. IMHO: This makes all Biden auto-pen signatures invalid.

    There should be a law, or something, that jails and or fines, cabinet members who don't respect the 25th Amendment...

    There already is. They need to enforce and prosecute.

    But there seems to be a very large amount of hesitancy about the gov't policing its own - like they are supposed to.

    I wonder who knows where who's bodies are buried.

    That reminds me of another leftists running the schools story: Every year they give us a list of supplies to send with the kids on their first day back to school. So we get crayola crayons, rubbermaid containers, lysol wipes (good name-brand stuff) and then when we visit the classroom on open house night we see nothing but cheap crap (mondo llama crayons, great value don't work very well containers, etc.)

    Better example: At the end of last year they asked for snacks for the kids' field trip. I sent a case of Poland Spring water (the good stuff) and Doritos chips. Then when I asked my kid about the field trip he said they served "Weis (grocery-store brand here) water and saltine crackers." It made me mad because where did the stuff I bought even go? And they never even thanked me for what I sent. (This happens every time.)

    He's full of himself and Big Mike is the same way. NYC is a Democrat stronghold and the communist will probably win no matter what, but Obama will still probably pat himself on the back for it.

    Let's see what NYC learns from having a communist mayor while Trump is still president for the next 3 years.

    This actually makes sense because what you sent will have gotten used, stolen, lost, destroyed, etc. by open house time and the teacher can't ask the parents for more stuff.

    The teacher ends up buying it and gets what she can afford, because often the school "has no money" to buy the stuff. Interesting since school funding has gone up a lot over the years. Where did all that money go? It wasn't to the teachers/students.

    Better example: At the end of last year they asked for snacks for the kids' field trip. I sent a case of Poland Spring water (the good stuff) and Doritos chips. Then when I asked my kid about the field trip he

    That's possible, but there have been times when the teachers have asked us once again, later into the year, to send additional supplies (clorox wipes, paper towels, etc.)

    Yea, that stuff probably ended up in the teacher's lounge or something. I was mad because they really got on our asses to send the stuff in for the field trip and I struggled to get the stuff to them on time.

    I think that's the best thing.

    If the teachers need stuff for their classrooms, the school system should supply it. If the school system claims they don't have the funds, ask for an accounting of where all the school funds went - that should shake things up.

    I was mad because they really got on our asses to send the stuff in for the field trip and I struggled to get the stuff to them on time.

    But I saw the same things when I was a kid. My dad reported on the same things when he was teaching.

    My dad remarked on this when we went to one of my work functions. At this function, there were tables set up with pop, hot dogs, cookies and chips. The people manning those tables were just keeping things stocked. You just went up, took what you needed and ate them.

    My dad said that if this was a teacher function, some of the teachers would have taken a whole box of cookies/chips/pop to their car. "But it's free."

    So the mentality has been around a long time. It's only gotten worse today.

    In this environment, any hint of an audit will terrify them. They know that we can all see the money paid for schools going up - a lot - over time. We know that the teachers obviously didn't see much of that money.

    That's pretty much already happened.

    The scamdemic had employees working from home. The companies saw that they got the same amount of work done while having happier employees. So they let their office leases lapse and there's a glut of empty office buildings.

    Many companies did keep a small "main office" around though. But an increase in taxes and higher crime will drive what little's left out of the city.

    The commie mayor said white neighborhoods and white people need to pay more taxes.

    Which means that there won't be any white neighborhoods soon.

    I don't understand what businesses have to gain by operating in NYC in the first place. Property is too expensive there.

    There's something fishy about all the media focus on Mamdani. It creates a faulty narrative that "Even Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams would make a better
    mayor than Mamdani." But to me one is just as bad as the other.

    You're right about this. But the left are 1 step ahead of the game; they already produced 4 bad years with Eric Adams, and that should have been the dose of reality that the voters needed. But this confuses everything for them.

    You're right about this. But the left are 1 step ahead of the game; they already produced 4 bad years with Eric Adams, and that should have been the dose of reality that the voters needed. But this confuses everything for them.


    I think the world is waking up. Poland voted in conservatives recently. Italy's PM is an Ephin hot conservative, just saying.

    Liberals will try anything to keep in power... Funny story... In the recent election in Canada the Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre lost his seat... His seat was near Ottawa so... I was surprised he made it this far... If this happens in Canada someone in the Conservative party can step down and you can run for their seat.

    Someone south of Edmonton stepped down and Pierre won the ridding in Battle River-Crowfoot. 2 days ago... So he's back in and swinging.

    Alberta is Canada's Texas... The liberals were trying to stack the deck a little... They were allowing anyone who wanted to throw their hat into the ring on the ballot. AND I'M NOT KIDDING HERE... The ballot was over 7 feet long... There was some back and forth with the courts and it ended up being like a normal ballot.. 3 or 4 choices.

    Pierre would have won the last election but Trump busted Trudeau's balls by saying Canada should become the 51st State... It gave the Liberals a talking point and the most hated political party, at the time, were re-elercted.

    Unlike the US, Canada's elections aren't held on a certain date, they are called. The party in power calls them when it best suits them... where as when the party in power is a minority.... ie the sum of the other parties are more that the party in power... They can call an election... and that can be done tomorrow if they can muster the coalition.

    I think it was the month of June Canada lost 40,000 jobs... if we were to compare that to the US it would be like the US loosing 400,000 jobs in 1 month. Things are not equal like that because Canada's economy is tiny in comparison to that of the US.

    So, Canada may have needed to have the current PM in so that they realize that they need Pierre in as PM.

    Bad news is that the western Provinces are talking about separation and referendums on these separations are slotted to happen.

    Back to NYC... The commie might get in... pray that he doesn't destroy the State and I'm sure the Democrats won't even get voted in as a dog catcher after he's done.

    Like I have said in the past... If we didn't have 2020 go the way that it went we wouldn't be where we are today.

    I don't understand what businesses have to gain by operating in NYC in
    the first place. Property is too expensive there.

    But if youre family has owned the building free and clear for a couple of generations. You don't have to pay rent. I will argue that the businesses that had to pay rent already left.

    Then there's the work involved to start a business somewhere else, as well as move all your stuff there.

    There's something fishy about all the media focus on Mamdani. It
    creates a faulty narrative that "Even Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams would make a better mayor than Mamdani." But to me one is just as bad as the other.

    It doesn't matter. Only the losers are left in NYC now because they are the only ones who "benefit" under socialism.

    Now would be the perfect time for the GOP to produce a strong
    candidate, but of course they're not doing that.

    Waste of time and money to do that.

    Let NYC die the death it deserves and then cleanse it and rebuild it.

    I want good things for Canada, but if Carney proves to be a Biden, do you think the leftists from the eastern provinces will even figure it out? There is some major brainwashing in effect in that region.

    I used to think it would be good to split the country (this one or that one) into 2 countries but it would cut all our strengths in half.

    Mamdani is probably exactly what they want. They want Democrat? Here's the ultimate Democrat. In reality, he's probably not as bad as the media makes him sound.

    That's true. If the GOP has any more good people then we should use them in places where their good won't go to waste.

    The Republican mayoral candidate (Curtis Sliwa) is probably an easy target for bribery anyway.

    He's very charismatic and would be a great PM for Canada. He'd be great in negotiating with Trump to end the economic turmoil in Canada.


    That's ok. People should have choices. In 2016 I didn't trust Trump nor Hillary.


    I would have never voted for Hillary... ever... My vote in 2016 was a vote against Hillary more than it was a vote for Trump.

    It was after I saw what he was all about in his first term that I became MAGA. I didn't become Ultra Dark MAGA until 2024.

    BTW, it was a friend of mine in Canada who convinced me to give Trump a chance. That's what I did...


    That's awful! Next time a Canadian liberal says "I'm sorry for you
    having Trump as president" I'll tell them "I'm sorry that you can't have elections until George Soros presses the button."


    Doug Ford, Ontario's Premier, called a snap election... He was just elected a few years prior... After the 51st State comment and the Anti Trump fervor he was re-elected handedly.

    He's an idiot and him with the Prime Minister Carney the country will fail.


    I want good things for Canada, but if Carney proves to be a Biden, do
    you think the leftists from the eastern provinces will even figure it

    I used to think it would be good to split the country (this one or that one) into 2 countries but it would cut all our strengths in half.


    The problem is that the eastern portion of Canada is like California and the western portion is more like Texas.

    If the west does split from the east the east will suffer the most. Alberta is 10% of the population and it contributes 15% to the GDP of the entire county. If Alberta goes it alone it'll become the richest country, per capita than any country in the world.

    The east had a case of FAFO.

    Same here, but my attitude was "No damn Democrats." Obama ruined their name before his first term was over.

    He's an idiot and him with the Prime Minister Carney the country will fail.

    Allowing the Chinese to conduct military exercises in Canada, allowing President Xi to verbally bitch slap the prime minister, allowing Trudeau to flood the country with undocumented migrants, it's already a failure.

    Exactly. They need the same kind of shock therapy that we had here.

    Debt needs to be looked at from the size of the economy... US is measured in the Trillions where as Canada is in the Billions.

    Canada use to have a balanced budget... Back in the 90's the Liberals voted to cut spending and the Conservative looked at raising taxes... Bi-Partisan kind of thing... There is more than 2 parties in Canada... but this was agreed upon throughout the political spectrum.

    In walks Justin Trudeau and he spent the sh!t out of the tax payer's money claiming that the budget will balance itself, we're finding out they don't

    The US has a few things going for it... Well Trump and the US economy... But the US dollar is a/the Reserve Currency... Other countries use it for trading purposes... ie Oil is traded @ X amout of US dollars per barrel...

    There were people trying to thwart that with the creation of BRICS currency... Look at Muammar Gaddafi... He wanted to use gold rather than the US dollar and he's dead...

    So, what I'm saying is that... Canada's debt is YUGE <---- as Trump would say.

    If you look at it with a little more than dollar amount you would agree.

    Canadian dollar is trading @~ 30 cents less than the US dollar... this tells you what the investors think of Canada's monetary policies.

    Last point... In the past couple months investors have moved over 900 Billion dollars to the US markets from Canada... because investors see the opportunity south of the border.

    As you know I have sold investments in the past... Licensed in Canada and the US. There are Mutual Funds that have more capital in a single fund than the entire economy of Canada.

    Canada needs the US to survive. I hope for Canada's sake they can kiss and makeup.

    The big takeaway was the fact that in the 90's the left and right got together to balance the budget and pay down the debt... Together... in 2025 the left and right are retarded and will never work together on this important issue.

    They balanced the budget when the debt was at a "Normal" level... Trudeau, like Biden, spent money quicker than they could print it.

    Things need to be fixed and quickly!!!
