The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth
“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William Saroyan
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14

It is a mistake to think of Trump as a Republican, although that is probably “truer” than to argue that Trump is a conservative. Mr. Trump is his number one favorite person in the world — and that’s what he’s all about. He’ll be happy to destroy DeSantis if that’s what it takes to win the GOP primary. Let’s hope that Gov. DeSantis proceeds carefully and wisely so as not to fall into the Trump Tar Pit.

With the election system so screwed up I am not sure anyone will be elected. I think it will be another selection like 2020 and we will go into CW2. I would pick Trump over DeSantis so that DeSantis could follow and clean up, but I really doubt it will matter.

While the polls show Trump with a large lead over DeSantis, I don’t believe the polls (especially not at this far out). However, I don’t give a rip who is running against the Democrat for 2024. I am voting “anyone but the Democrat.”
With all the things that could happen between now and 2024, it could be just about anyone. Nobody was predicting a Trump win in 2016.

I don’t believe trump can win the election and it depends on how many are entered in the primary if he can win the nomination. As Mustang said trump is not a conservative but none of the elected elite are. If it means taking down the republican party in his quest for immortality trump is more than willing to do that. He cares about himself only and feeding his massive ego is all that is important.

Trump is for Trump. If he loses the primary, he will go third party with Kooky Kari Lake as his running mate and shave off enough GOP voters to reelect Grandpa Biden and his dimbulb VP.
Trump did us a great service, kinda like ripping up the kitchen floor of an old house and exposing the termites, vermin and rot lying beneath, but his time has passed. Even Moses, for all his faithful service, did not make it to the promised land.

At this juncture, D.J.T. is Pre-Freakin-CISEly what the United States of America needs to remain viable as a nation. Someone to turn over the rest of the rocks and shine bright disinfecting sunlight on the slimy parasites underneath.
But it won’t work . . . the liberals won’t LET it work. He’d never get any useful legislation through the irretrievably divided House and Senate, so he’d have to rule by EO, which is to say by end runs around Congress.
Also, like the guy pretending to be in charge today, he has an irresistible internal imperative to fire unerringly at his own foot with barbed snarks from his alligator mouth.
Installing Orangeman in the Oval Office would be like bringing Mike Tyson back to Madison Square Garden to fight the Invisible Man for the heavyweight crown.
And another Trump/Biden political campaign would be like setting up a burro and a donkey to stand around calling each other jackasses

ALL YOU GUYS…great comments, thanks.
MUSTANG: Way truer than being a Democrat, too. I don’t care WHAT anybody calls him; he did a lot of good and I wish he was in office now, as blustering and bad mouthing as he is. Funny, I know someone whose best friend worked VERY closely with Trump and Pence in the WH (and before) and went into the WH dreading Trump and came out thinking a lot of him……He says people who know him well know his public personae is far worse than the man he knows now……….How I wish he could control his hideous egotism.
JG…”so that DeSantis could follow and clean up”…so you’d like Trump in for 2024 and then DeSantis!? Interesting!
MARKONE: Yes, large lead, but who really knows, as you say…
I’m with you ANYONE BUT THE DEMOCRAT!
ONLY A BIT OFF SUBJECT; THE OTHER DAY I LAMENTED THAT THE REPUBLICANS CAN’T REALLY CUT TOO MUCH IN THIS BUDGET FIGHT BECAUSE THE LEFT MAKES AMERICANS BELIEVE THEIR OWN PERSONAL GOODIES WILL BE CUT (S.S., MEDICARE, ETC….) AND HORRID DEBT DOESN’T MATTER BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO TAKE YOUR STUFF AWAY.
YESTERDAY, SURE ENOUGH….Biden was asked about his budget meetings with McCarthy coming up and the SWINE yells (twice) to the press:
‘SHOW ME THEIR BUDGET…SHOW ME THEIR BUDGET’…..
in other words…go ahead, CUT stuff….You’ll never get another vote.

SILVERFIDDLE…..I think you have a good point about Trump/Lake. WHAT a hideous thought because, of COURSE, they could never EVER win…….and then this country is OVER. He did a great service and could have continued if only he’d controlled his huge ego and mouth……..hadn’t been SO nasty…. SO sad.
BOCOPRO….LOTS of good stuff there…I agree with you….”And another Trump/Biden political campaign would be like setting up a burro and a donkey to stand around calling each other jackasses”
But, BOY, would Trump have more ammunition THIS time 🙂
Still, we have some Californians who see what’s going on and STILL would vote for NewSCUM again, so there’s no understanding the freaky Left. People would still vote for BIDEN; especially against Trump. Astonishing.

To date seemingly the damage done by The Biden/Giggles team has not changed enough minds to make a difference (see the Newsome recall). Mind numbed robots incapable of sensing their own demise will pull that “D” lever or push that “ D” button not to mention the post midnight ballot dumps as insurance.
Today’s elections reminds one of the 60’s TV show “The Outer Limits” intro which went like this, “Do not attempt to adjust your television set, we have complete control.”

FOX panels are talking a lot about how Biden’s summer home at Rehoboth is being checked for classified docs today.
NOBODY ANYWHERE has mentioned what I’m SURE I heard; and that is how the news had said how Biden was at Rehoboth during is last weekend and how unusual that is for him…

Z, I don’t think many exist in the swamp who would try to drain it now that they’ve seen EVERYTHING thrown at Trump, 4 now 6 years of non-stop prevarications.
Don’t agree with giving all candidates the same amount. It’s not an even playing field, and newcomers have to get name recognition for one thing. Just citizens. Transparency. No front groups run out of China.
Trump has been so damaged. That’s exactly what the continuing assaults are all about. Someone is very afraid to have him in the race. Not sure he can’t win. But she sure as heck should not be running down De Santis like that. Better to admit learning something, and speak well of some of his best decisions. The 11th commandment still rules. Reagan was not an attack dog. Trump is. We get what we can take.

I had hoped early on that Trump might try to establish DeSantis as a future running mate in an attempt to ward off exactly what is happening now, but that also would’ve made it embarrassing to Pence. As has been pointed out, you never hit your own party members. That becomes your kiss of death. He should’ve taken the high road and didn’t.

BAYSIDER, so you think newcomers would be turned off because of what they’ve seen done to Trump? Probably right.
But they SHOULD be smart enough to know it’s HOW YOU DELIVER IT…
For example, I watched that jerk putz McCarthy leave the mtg with Biden today at the WH and said “Naaaa…not like that…” You say:
“Mr. Biden and I spoke today; I’m trying to remind him of the debt we’ve gone into…He has such a good point about how Americans want all that he’s given them, but I’m reminding him it’s THEY who are paying for those things, and their grandchildren will be in very bad shape!; Let’s work out something that brings the debt down and shows our love for America in not strapping her down with the kind of debt he’s created..” etc.
REASONABLE…Kind………….. Imagine if Trump had spoken like this? (I could do WAY better but I’m eager to go down for my cocktail and sliced/baked sweet potato hors doeurvres! 🙂
TRUMP’S MOUTH GAVE US BIDEN AND PROBABLY COST US AMERICA…..He’d still be president had he been even slightly empathetic (as when he had COVID) “I can see how you’ve all been so sick….I’m so sorry..”, slightly humorous, slightly LESS HIDEOUSLY EGOMANIACAL!!! etc etc!!

SO glad your friend did well!
I have a friend who got it on the plane when they flew back to Phoenix from NYC because planes had become grounded…the first day when COVID forced all flights to stop ….she actually had just flown to NYC on the way to a European trip and they had to come home.
THey both got COVID.
He had it for about a week, mild….She got it BAD and a friend finally convinced her to call HIS doc, not hers…HIS doc got her hydroxachloroquine and BINGO, she honestly said she felt better in about 3 hours…..and she’d been having the worst day yet!!
Monoclonals have good results and some say they’re questionable!!! And we KNOW what many say about Hydroxachloroquine…people stopped using it and it HELPS!
Honestly, BUNK….we have NO IDEA what the truth is…but we’re blessed our friends did well on that stuff 🙂
