\"KamalaHow can you vote for Kamala? From the other side I know the question is the same about Trump.<\/p>\n

Kamala gets flustered very easily if there\u2019s pushback or distraction while she\u2019s speaking in public. She seems to have problems when she\u2019s confronted with the unexpected. We\u2019ve seen this for her entire Vice Presidency. Prior to her selection as a running mate by Biden she was so throughly mistrusted and disliked she couldn\u2019t get votes in her own state.<\/p>\n

\"GettyImagesThat alone speaks to her authenticity and character. If you think about it, when an inauthentic person can\u2019t get votes in one of the most inauthentic states in the union, a place where illusion is king and success is one phone call away, then there\u2019s something seriously wrong.<\/p>\n

This is important to me because you have to be authentic if you\u2019re telling someone like Putin to stop advancing into Ukraine. He\u2019s gotta believe you\u2019re not only serious, but what you\u2019re saying at a negotiation table is what you really mean.<\/p>\n

The Mullahs of Iran will not have respect for a woman, culturally speaking they don\u2019t have to. They\u2019ve got to believe that the President is going to provide any and all weapons to Israel necessary to level Gaza, Lebanon, and<\/strong><\/em> Tehran. Same goes for Xi.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Critically thinking, Kamala just doesn\u2019t fit that bill. Few, if any people take her seriously and she in her Vice Presidency has demonstrated that she\u2019s culturally insensitive and out of her depth.<\/p>\n

\"JulyWhen you add the issues of translation. How will one of Kamala\u2019s word salads translate? Translation isn\u2019t just word for word\u2026 It\u2019s taking what the speaker says, then framing it in context to the situation and subject under discussion then putting it into the listeners language.<\/p>\n

These are some of the reasons that I won\u2019t and can\u2019t vote for Kamala.<\/p>\n

I loathe the woman but that personal feeling has no place in my assessment.<\/p>\n

I loathe Hillary. I thought and still do think that she\u2019s an evil person. That being said If it was necessary to have a woman president, I\u2019d vote for Hillary in this election because I think she\u2019s more logical, a better communicator, and flat scary. That decision is about the good of the nation, not my personal distaste for that vile woman.<\/p>\n

She would be able to command respect, and lots of people have noticed her enemies end up shooting themselves in the back of the head. Putin, Xi, and the Mullas will also have noticed that. So at the negotiation table they\u2019d perhaps be more likely to believe her. She\u2019s authentic. Authentically evil but world leaders can work with that.<\/p>\n

\"TrumpTrump on the other hand is plain spoken, sometimes too plain spoken. He\u2019s believable, and honestly just random enough that Putin, Xi, the Mullas, and everyone else don\u2019t quite know what to think. He\u2019s an interesting combination of bombastic, arrogant, and narcissistic which puts him on equal footing when he walks into a room full of world leaders.<\/p>\n

No-one is going to walk all over him, or dismiss him, or talk over him. He will be heard, and his message will be plain. Easily translated foul language and all.<\/p>\n

Even now, while Trump isn\u2019t president, he\u2019s a candidate, the EU is moving to budget payments for \u00a0their fucking NATO bill. That\u2019s a win for America and American interests. The EU appears to be making this move because they believe Trump will be elected.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m of a mind that Trump accurately reflects the mood of at least 1\/2 of America and that mood is generally pissed off<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Americans don\u2019t want to be in another fucking war. We don\u2019t want to have to take in millions of so called \u201ceconomic migrants\u201d. Fuck! I\u2019m damn close to becoming an economic migrant, where the hell do I go?<\/p>\n

\"Jw(Although Poland is stable, clean, and full of good people. I don\u2019t know if they\u2019d give me a residence permit. )<\/em><\/p>\n

We\u2019re tired of all the bullshit fighting in our government, we\u2019re tied of our tax money being frittered away for nothing. We\u2019re angry that our government organizations can\u2019t help our people<\/span> but somehow manage to help anyone else around the world. We\u2019re sick of zero accountability for our representatives. We\u2019re tired of endless hearings and investigations that go nowhere.<\/p>\n

When do we get to see some butts hanging on our office walls? When do we get to see real criminals being taken to prison, or real traitors being taken to the gallows?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m pissed off as a citizen, who can\u2019t afford medical insurance, (it\u2019s a roof over my head or insurance not both<\/em>). I\u2019m pissed off as someone dealing with home owners, and car insurance rates skyrocketing to the point that I will likely have to give up my home. I\u2019m pissed off because feeding myself is more difficult, & finding a job, even a job cleaning toilets, is ridiculously difficult. Most are occupied by an illegal immigrant on a temporary work permit.<\/p>\n

\"\"I\u2019m pissed off and worried all the damn time about the next expense, or next thing breaking. I\u2019m pissed off interest rates are affecting my purchasing power, and my dollar goes 1\/3 as far as it did.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m pissed off when Politicians claim that the minimum wage should be $15 and I ask, “why isn\u2019t the social security minimum $2400 a month?\u201d They never have an answer for that one!<\/p>\n

At the same time illegal immigrants get healthcare, cellphones with service and Internet access, housing, and stipends of, in some cases 4K a month, all funded by taxpayer dollars.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"HowWhat about our people, our elderly, our homeless, our veterans?<\/p>\n

Why would American Citizens have done better putting money into a savings account during their working life than paying into Social Security? Wasn\u2019t that supposed to be a managed fund? Oh, right our politicians have effectively stolen Social Security funds and now claim the system is broken and the money won\u2019t be there for people in their 30s and below when they\u2019re ready to retire<\/p>\n

I\u2019m asking a simple question.<\/p>\n

Why the fuck did I work my ass off?<\/p>\n

For what? To watch a bunch of assholes piss money, they collected from me and everyone else in the county, away on stupid shit?<\/p>\n

Did I work my ass off only to be skating the edge of the financial precipice after a lifetime of doing the right thing, being the good American, shouldering my tax burden, obeying the law, keeping my nose clean, and then watching the Biden Harris administration shift educational loans to the backs of the taxpayers, against rulings from the Supreme Court?<\/p>\n

Then they tell me they\u2019re going to raise taxes? After they\u2019ve broken the law???? WHAT!?!?!?!<\/p>\n

Well, I\u2019ll be damned! I was a sucker and a loser<\/em><\/span>, for doing the right fucking thing. I should have devolved to my Viking heritage of looting and plundering. I\u2019d have been better off!<\/p>\n

My personal anger isn\u2019t justified by any more than these issues.<\/p>\n

Our Military service members have every reason to be a whole lot angrier. They\u2019re dealing with my gripes and<\/strong><\/em> they\u2019ve been screwed time and again.<\/p>\n

Biden fucked em over during COVID. The VA fucked \u2018em over regarding health care they earned! They\u2019re trying to make ends meet like everyone else, they\u2019re ignored until elections then promised the sun, moon, and stars. After the election is over they\u2019re forgotten about again.<\/p>\n

Our “checked out” politicians don\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n

We The People are angry because of the things I mentioned above.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Trump, for all his faults, is resonating with the American people, and why Biden and Harris have become a very bad joke.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re hoping that at least during a Trump administration when we\u2019re being screwed it\u2019s not because we\u2019ve got some stupid DEI hires making the same shitty decisions that led them to $100K degrees in women\u2019s studies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We hope that Trump will at least put a stop to the firehoses of money the Biden \/ Harris administration has been burning.<\/p>\n

And yet, I still believe that somehow, someway, Kamala will be installed in the Oval Office. I believe that the Washington Machine is already cheating.<\/p>\n

Virginia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, even some districts of Kentucky have evidence of incorrect voter rolls and very specific \u201cMalfunctions<\/em>\u201d on voting machines. Colorado has leaked administrative passwords to their voting machines that the registrar of voters tried to cover up. Those passwords were available online, unencrypted, for weeks. Yet all of this is just \u201caccidental\u201d.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen this movie before. All of these \u201caccidents\u201d that also didn\u2019t happen last election, we\u2019ll be told are insignificant and that they aren\u2019t really<\/strong><\/em> happening this election. (We\u2019re mistaken, we didn\u2019t see what we saw. There are live action videos all over X of people tapping Trump and the machine changing it live to Harris.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\"\"Four years ago, in this blog, I said I didn\u2019t really care who won, I just wanted to get on with life. At the time I also said that our concern should be to improve our voting process such that any question of cheating could be ruled out. I suggested that we adopt voter ID and cleaned up voter roles, and even mentioned the possibility of everyone having to re-register. It\u2019s obvious we must have clean voter rolls and only citizens should be voting. I expressed the opinion that If we did the basics without spending a ton of money we would know the will of the electorate.<\/p>\n

Four years later\u2026 it\u2019s Same Shit, Different Year.<\/strong> The election process is just as screwed up as it was because \u201cThe Machine\u201d made sure that no consensus about voter ID and clean voter rolls could be reached.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I believe the machine will cheat like there\u2019s no tomorrow. The Machine acts like a living animal, it will defend itself. The last thing the machine in Washington DC wants to deal with is Donald J Trump and a cabinet of people who ask \u201cwhy money is being spent on x,y, or z\u201d.<\/p>\n

The machine is terrified of those people in Trump\u2019s cabinet or administration being unafraid of firing 80% of the dead wood and moving on.<\/p>\n

So yeah, Kamala is likely to be installed in the Oval Office, just as she\u2019s been installed in every other office she\u2019s had. She\u2019s the ultimate DEI hire.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another juicy thought. If by some miracle Trump wins, Kamala and the Democrat party will become election deniers and this time…<\/p>\n

The courts will<\/span> hear every case Kamala brings in every state. Why do I say this? Because we have two tiers of justice in this country. The Machine is no longer trying to hide it from us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
