So my wife took this picture in our garden yesterday, here in Kigali, Rwanda: Take a close look. This little bird — about the size of an American cardinal, or a European robin — is facing us. It’s also facing the sun, though you can’t see that. It is holding two twigs with its little […]

Disgraced and demoted Dr. Ronny “Pill Mill” Jackson wants drug testing before the debates. Rep. Ronny Johnson Jackson can demand that testing as part of the pre-debate messaging push. But he KNOWS that it won’t happen, especially for this debate. But the testing and doctor we should be talking about is Dr. Sean Conley, who was Trump’s doctor before the 2020 Trump/ Biden debate. If you recall everyone was supposed to be tested for COVID AT THE VENUE, THE DAY OF THE DEBATE. Mark Meadows’ 2021 book revealed Trump had tested positive for COVID Saturday, September 26, 2020. Trump spent much of Saturday with the woman he nominated to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court: Amy Coney Barrett. She and her family — including her husband and seven children — were all on hand at the White House, and met with Trump, the first lady and the Pences in the Oval Office. Later, Trump attended a rally in Pennsylvania. According to Meadows, Trump tested positive before traveling to the rally in Pennsylvania and then subsequently tested negative.

Thank God There has been an upsurge in google searches for Project 2025. The Biden campaign has noticed and they are here to help: Axios reported: The Biden campaign is using Thursday’s debate to launch a new offensive against Trump allies’ radical plans to transform the U.S. government, known as “Project 2025.” The Biden campaign wants to convince jaded voters that a second Trump presidency poses grave risks to the country. Biden officials see Project 2025 — which calls for an unprecedented expansion of presidential power — as a useful blueprint for what Trump’s return would bring. The controversial transition agenda was compiled by the Heritage Foundation with input from close Trump allies and former aides — some of whom are likely to take top jobs if he wins — but Project 2025 is not an official campaign platform. The Trump campaign points instead to the Agenda47 website for policies explicitly endorsed by former President Trump.

I’m so old I remember when candidate Barack Obama was forced to give a major address to distance himself from a pastor whose church he attended from time to time because of comments the pastor made when he wasn’t present. The whole country was Up In Arms. Today, the GOP candidate invites actual Nazi psychos to his house to give talks and is on the campaign trail for him: Extremist commentator Christiane Northrup has promoted a pro-Nazi film that denies the Holocaust, encouraged people to check out the infamous antisemitic tract Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and repeatedly pushed the conspiracy theory that a secretive mafia is hiding behind Jewish identity to control world events. Still, Northrup has spoken twice at Trump’s Miami resort alongside Eric and Lara Trump and been featured in a Robert F. Kennedy Jr. campaign video. Northrup is a former OBGYN who initially gained fame as a self-help author who was praised by Oprah Winfrey.
There was much hand-wringing July of that year was a real nail biter … and Obama went on to win by 4 points. How about 1992? G. Elliott Morris of 538 (formerly the Economist poll) has this to say about that new NY Times poll, dropped coincidentally on the night before the debate, showing Trump up 6 among registered voters. (Biden is ahead among likely voters,.) Caveat emptor It ain’t over til it’s over.
In all liberal democracies, Australia included, national self-regard resists identification with the harsh implications of reliance on, or celebration of, military force – unless it can be viably represented as defence of freedom, just war, or wars against unspeakable Others. An updated Pearls & Irritations repost from December 23, 2020 And, in the case of liberal Continue reading »
