Stoke the enthusiasm with gifts fit for a modern cowboy. For hisbook“Eight Seconds: Black Rodeo Culture,” the photojournalist Ivan McClellan spent a decade traveling to places like the nation’s longest-running Black rodeo in Oklahoma and the Compton Cowboys’ Los Angeles ranch. The resulting body of work, published by Damiani Books, is a nuanced look at a classic American archetype. A music fan would enjoy the new album by the Ecuadorean Swiss brothers Hermanos Gutiérrez, whose instrumental guitarscapes sound like a psychedelic spaghetti western. “Sonido Cosmico” is available for pre-order and ships the week of June 14.

But for the time being, I bought him a pocket synthesizer to mess around with. First released in 1968, theStylophone— an electronic instrument played by touching a small metal keyboard with an attached stylus — was the first synthesizer produced for the mass market and has been used by musicians and bands including David Bowie, who briefly plays one on 1969’s “Space Oddity,” and Kraftwerk (1981’s “Pocket Calculator” ends with a Stylophone solo). Like everything in our apartment, the synthesizer now also belongs to our son. But it works surprisingly well as a child’s toy: It’s tough (musicians, like toddlers, aren’t known for handling objects with care) and its sound is strangely soothing — undulating and richer than its compact size might suggest.

A Pocket-Size Synthesizer to Encourage Musical Ambition

in the 2010s, technology made creating, distributing, and listening to music easier than at any previous point in history. producers and artists collaborated through the cloud, mixing styles like potions, from emo trap to edm ballads to indie r&b to bedroom pop. a million modes of distribution meant you could hear those songs milliseconds after they were born. artists started releasing music at an unprecedentedly rapid pace. the infinite scroll of social media made listeners insatiable. the result of all this was both a blessing and a curse: there was more great music out there than ever before, but it was nearly impossible to keep up. here at pitchfork, we sure tried. here are our top 200 songs of the decade. for more about how we put together this list, read this letter from our editor in chief puja patel. and check out all of pitchfork’s 2010s wrap up coverage here. listen to selections from this list on our spotify playlist and apple music playlist. universal as sampled in avicii’s “levels,” etta james’ relatively modest claim that “oh, sometimes i get a good feeling” felt impossibly aspirational for a generation of entry level millennials dumped into an indifferent economy. in 2011, good feelings were rare and expensive, but it was possible to get one for free via a sparkling edm hook. “levels,” with its monumental synths and jetstream whooshes, took that potential and conquered the world with it. in hindsight, its sheer scale still feels staggering, but there’s a sinister undertone to it. tim bergling, who took his own life in 2018, at age 28, got his stage name from avici, the hell like realm in buddhism where dead sinners are reborn. there is something punishing about “levels,” which, like the office drone pushing a boulder up a mountain in its music video, seems to climb and climb without actually going anywhere, an illusion of transcendence that’s actually just plain old limbo. electronic pop music of the early 2010s, from “harlem shake” to “turn down for what,” was punctuated by images of people in their boring jobs and dumpy apartments exploding into uncontrollable, spasmodic dancing half joyful release, half exorcism. “levels” is the sound of a generation hell bent on having a good feeling, reality be damned.  emily yoshida listen: avicii, “levels” #merky before he was a world famous mc, stormzy got his start uploading diy freestyle videos in which he spit nonstop bars over hard edged grime beats in streets and parks near his south london home. so it makes sense that the knockout track from his eclectic debut album, gang signs & prayer, simply showcases his high octane rapping and palpable charisma over a jagged instrumental, proving that he deserves to take a seat next to grime greats like dizzee rascal and wiley. on “big for your boots,” stormzy fires off a barrage of disses directed at his enemies and rap rivals. “you’re getting way too big for your boots/you’re never too big for my boot,” he raps in the chorus, emphasizing the last syllable with maniacal glee. considering the fact that he’s 6 foot 5 and wears a size 12 shoe, any detractors would be wise to heed his warning.  michelle kim listen: stormzy, “big for your boots” self released it's not explicitly about god, but the debut single from singer daniel daley and producer nineteen85 better known as dvsn is some kind of gospel, particularly if you consider falling in love to be a religious experience. arriving the year before mainstream hip hop reclaimed gospel via chance the rapper's coloring book and kanye west’s “ultralight beam,” “the line” has daley showing off a preacher’s sense of mesmerizing repetition as he fills the song’s skeletal framework with melisma capable of stretching moments into eternities. by the time the choir hits about halfway into this epic slow jam, dvsn’s romantic redemption is secured.  rich juzwiak listen: dsvn, “the line” record company ten/big beat records manic and apathetic at once, “i love it” is a perfect display of post breakup hedonism, written over a drop that keeps on dropping. penned by then upstart charli xcx, it was delivered to swedish twosome icona pop by the producer patrik berger, whose credits include robyn’s similarly anthemic “dancing on my own” though the duo differentiate their electropop catharsis by adding an edge of vengeance. turn the bass up enough, icona pop suggest, and it can drown out the throbbing of your broken heart.  olivia horn listen: icona pop, “i love it” [ft. charli xcx] ribbon music/upset the rhythm like many of his lo fi pop contemporaries in the early ’10s, reclusive midwesterner john maus pushed underground music forward by looking backward rejecting digital studio techniques in favor of old drum machines and wonky synths, excavating the dramatic excesses of ’80s stadium pop and sentimental radio jingles as though they held clues to some hard to pinpoint generational subconscious. but his actual relationship to such sources could be hard to read: was maus poking fun at music’s power to manufacture an emotional response, like when we find ourselves crying in the middle of a commercial, or celebrating its potential to offer us a fleeting moment of ecstasy, a glimpse of a world that is better than our own? arriving at the end of 2011’s we must be the pitiless censors of ourselves with the cathartic finality of perfectly curated exit music, this song with its glittering harpsichord arpeggios, briskly pulsing bass, and grandiose allusions to borderless love is the closest maus has ever come to being a true believer.  emilie friedlander listen: john maus, “believer” carpark out of the glut of lo fi pop punkers who emerged at the turn of the decade, cloud nothings frontman dylan baldi was the only one who got nastier with age. at the dead center of the band’s catalog lies “i’m not part of me,” a song where baldi lets all of his seemingly unworkable contradictions fight themselves into an exhausted standstill while tossing out an album’s worth of hooks in less than five minutes. it’s an insular type of empowering breakup song: “i’m not, i’m not you/you’re a part of me,” baldi howls, a compact mantra for giving up the character defects and trauma that people hold onto because they confuse it with their identity. don’t look back in anger, says “i’m not part of me” let it guide you forward.  ian cohen listen: cloud nothings, “i’m not part of me” basedworld two true things: lil b is a beatific vessel for galaxy brain level peace, love, and understanding. he also once tweeted “buttcheeks party grandma.” but spirituality need not bend to reason, and over this decade the based god remained committed to his vision of untrammeled optimism and unbridled creative confidence, evolving from bay area blog savant into legitimate folk hero for the new school. “wonton soup” is the peak from this early period, when he first exploded into semi mainstream consciousness. all his stylistic trademarks are on display: endless “woop” ad libs, hazy production, a monotone delivery that makes his absurd lyrics he brags about being able to achieve orgasm “like 36 ways,” then compares himself to j.k. rowling sound like blissed out zen koans. it’s the best possible argument for basedgodism, even better than a sermon.  jeremy gordon listen: lil b, “wonton soup” blue flowers/ato london upstart nilüfer yanya does a lot with a little on “baby luv.” the song spotlights her insistent guitar strums, her urgent vocals, and little else. yanya makes the best of repetition, wielding certain words and phrases like blunt instruments. when she asks, “do you like pain?” she follows the question with a single word “again” saying it over and over again until the word turns numb. it’s a great example of her restraint as a songwriter: instead of spelling things out in bright red block letters, she selects a couple of choice words and blows them up for maximum impact. when she sings “call me sometime” in the song’s bridge, the familiar phrase assumes a new and menacing shape.  madison bloom listen: nilüfer yanya, “baby luv” modular tame impala’s music is often pegged as brain melting sonic exploration, but mastermind kevin parker also has a pop star’s understanding of emotion. stripped down to melody and lyrics, “feels like we only go backwards,” from 2012’s lonerism, is a crushing meditation on dashed hopes and rejection. but with its galloping bass and kaleidoscopic, ever shifting textures, it seems wistfully nostalgic, if not downright celebratory. you can hear why kendrick lamar, fresh off the contradictory impulses of his hit “swimming pools (drank),” was drawn to rap over the song. and you can hear how parker, in the span of a decade, went from headphones auteur to coachella headliner.  marc hogan listen: tame impala, “feels like we only go backwards” sugar trap go to a rico nasty show and you’ll see a swirling mob of teenage girls thrashing and jumping along to her every word. in the spirit of bikini kill’s “girls to the front” rallying cry, the rapper always calls for a female only mosh pit when she’s about to play her most unruly material, purposefully making space for other young women to share their rage, too. this sense of uncontainable fury is what makes her breakout single, “smack a bitch,” so transfixing. over a lurching, guitar fueled instrumental produced by kenny beats, rico yells, “thank god, i ain’t have to smack a bitch today,” as if delivering blows is part of her normal routine. pushing her delivery into near psychotic territory, she declares, “your ass is done,” before cackling maniacally. rico takes absolutely no shit, and it’s refreshing to see.  michelle kim listen: rico nasty, “smack a bitch” atlantic ty dolla $ign’s biggest, best single was one of many hits in the early half of the decade to flaunt producer dj mustard’s minimalist touch, realigning r&b with house music. still, “paranoid” stands out, its spacious snap and pop production setting the stage for our narrator to hit the club only to encounter two girls he’s seeing, both of whom are wearing matching heels and “the same damn fragrance.” ty wonders if it’s some sort of set up or if it’s all just in his head. this internal debate is punctuated by his own quivering backing vocals, a greek chorus commenting on a twisted spin through modern romance.  jordan sargent listen: ty dolla $ign, “paranoid” [ft. b.o.b] scorpio music much of what makes colombian singer j balvin’s “mi gente” sizzle that audacious drumbeat, that insistent five note vocal melody is lifted from mauritian french singer willy william’s 2017 track “voodoo song,” which itself reinterprets a sample from the indian composer akassh. no wonder “mi gente” was such a global, cross culture sensation. balvin worked with william to reinvent the source material, adding spanish lyrics, chants, and ferocious latin percussion. his lines like “el mundo nos quiere” (“the world wants us”) transform the song into a universal call to the dancefloor, an embrace of solidarity and unification at a time of enormous worldwide polarization. aided on the remix by beyoncé, who audaciously tackles spanish and ups the diva ante, “mi gente” became the first all spanish song to reach the top of spotify’s global top 50 chart. it remains a testament to pop music’s ability to push back against growing neo nationalist fervor there was no border, no wall, that could keep people from coming together and loving this song.  jason king listen: j balvin / willy william, “mi gente (remix)” [ft. beyoncé] epic/freebandz on “incredible,” future’s giddy ode to rebound romance, he and his new woman do hot yoga together and send each other “xo” texts. but he isn’t just intoxicated with this fresh love his zeal for money and jewelry (and vicodin) loom just as large in his lyrics. meanwhile, the song’s hook is so simple and so instant basically, an auto tune hiccup of the title phrase that it’s a wonder it hadn’t been done before. producer dre moon frames the rapper’s warble in moonlit synths and limber bass for an effect as frothy as an island cocktail. there’s an extra glimmer of hope in hearing such unabashed exuberance from future in light of his long history of zonked out moroseness. “i’ma do whatever it’s gon’ take to keep my baby spoiled,” he vows happily, sounding like he truly means it.  marc hogan listen: future, “incredible” xl the death of thom yorke’s longtime partner, rachel owen, in late 2016 casts a shadow over “dawn chorus,” the emotional center of his solo album anima. though the pair had split about 18 months before her passing, it’s impossible to not feel like he’s reflecting, however obliquely, on his own loss. “i think i missed something, but i’m not sure what,” he says in a murmur that makes it seem like he’s dragging his voice across the floor reluctantly. “in the middle of the vortex the wind picked up/shook up the soot from the chimney pot into spiral patterns of you my love.” the term “dawn chorus” describes the sound birds make at sunrise during mating season. nature lovers can’t get enough of it, but here, yorke calls it a “bloody racket.” that seems off for him, to criticize the organic world. in a state of mourning, though, something that should be sweet can often turn sour. with this song, at least, yorke makes it sound beautiful.  matthew schnipper listen: thom yorke, “dawn chorus” boy better know entertainment skepta’s 2015 hit “shutdown” serves as the decade’s ultimate london anthem: catchy enough to elevate slang to lexicon, hard enough to burst from the world’s weediest soundsystem, and worldly enough to shut down both the arc de triomphe and central park, as the rapper teases in the song. in a satirical mid song skit, an unfeasibly posh woman laments the “intimidating” presence of men in hoodies on her tv, alluding to kanye west’s grime takeover of the 2015 brit awards, which featured skepta alongside many of the genre’s stars. with this flourish, skepta’s single rejects battle rap showboating and zeroes in on the real bête noire: the snoots who clutch pearls when black mcs breach the nation’s living rooms. the promise of a new, emancipatory grime wave has since resonated loud and clear, on the uk’s biggest stages and beyond.  jazz monroe listen: skepta, “shutdown” jagjaguwar sharon van etten’s best songs are often marked by their restraint: there’s a feeling that her husky and wide ranging voice, along with her roiling guitars, could run off the rails, but they’re held in place by her steadfast sense of control. “seventeen,” from this year’s remind me tomorrow, stretches this idea to the limit and then careens right past it. the song is immaculately arranged, a lockstep keyboard rock anthem that’s artfully mussed with synth wobbles and van etten’s quavering vocals. but then, as her ambivalent reflections on a youthful doppelgänger wind down, she unleashes a full throated scream: “afraid that you’ll be just like me,” she bellows, losing her cool but gaining something even fiercer.  marc hogan listen: sharon van etten, “seventeen” blonded after releasing blonde in 2016, frank ocean spent the next year trickling out a series of singles that built upon that album’s fluid confidence. “chanel” is the first and best of them, capturing an artist in total command of his faculties as a singer, writer, and rapper. there isn’t much to it in terms of melody or structure. the piano chords are simple and translucent; the beat ambles casually. it’s all about frank and the places his words can take you: a heated swimming pool in the hills, a tokyo back alley, the first class lounge at the delta terminal. listen closely, and “chanel” also reveals itself to be a meditation on masculinity, one that alternately embraces it, subverts it, and points out its absurdity. beneath it all, there’s a romantic ripple, too, as a relationship that seemed casual and disposable is revealed, almost shyly, to mean something more. this is frank’s gift, the ability to build worlds of meaning and emotion into a song that has the casual grace of a freestyle.  jamieson cox listen: frank ocean, “chanel” m.a music/3d young m.a’s breakthrough single oozes the kind of confidence you can’t fake. against a loose, snare heavy beat, she raps breezily about sex with other women a rarity in hip hop that she plays off nonchalantly amid lines about getting drunk and cracking jokes with friends. an out stud in an industry that’s still deciding how to digest queer musicians, m.a used “ooouuu” to carve out a judgment free zone where she can be herself and feel herself, where she isn’t an outsider but the queen of her own domain. the coyote howl of the title is both a tease and a triumph, the sound of finally feeling at home in your own skin and inviting others to play along with you.  sasha geffen listen: young m.a, “ooouuu” columbia “xo” is about more than the saccharine simplicity of dreamy hugs and kisses. it begins with a clip of the crew of the challenger realizing the malfunction on their spaceship, giving the love story that follows an undercurrent of mortality. on the surface, the slow building track is an airy breather after the erotic, liberatory journey of the rest of beyoncé’s self titled 2013 album; the synth drops, and so does the snare drum, creating a soundscape that draws from rock, reggae, and edm. meanwhile, beyoncé’s voice is raw, almost growling, a sound we have never heard from her before. (turns out she had a sinus infection during the recording.) in the video, beyoncé is at a carnival, flashing us one gorgeous smile after another. but carnivals themselves are a form of trickery: youthful joy on the surface, covering a shadowy underbelly. like the spell of love and the threat it could end, “xo” deftly balances joy and sorrow; it’s a cautionary tale of beautiful things that sometimes head to untimely endings.  samhita mukhopadhyay listen: beyoncé, “xo” quality control the runaway success of “bad and boujee” created its own pop culture ecosystem. the migos became mainstream stars. “rain drops, drop tops” became a catchphrase. takeoff’s absence from the track became a memeable conspiracy theory. the song itself is a perfect distillation of everything that makes the migos irresistible: a gucci mane derived gift for quotables, a sizzling metro boomin beat, ad libs for days, and an ear for perfectly placed guest stars in this case, a before he was huge lil uzi vert, rapping about falling asleep in a jacuzzi. soon enough, the migos were matching chart feats once set by the beatles, cementing their status as generational titans.  jonah bromwich listen: migos, “bad and boujee” [ft. lil uzi vert] impulse! the u.s. treasury secretary continues to balk at the rollout of a new $20 bill featuring abolitionist harriet tubman. meanwhile, do it yourself tubman rubber stamps are perpetually out of stock, suggesting that many americans might concur with sons of kemet and the british born, barbados raised saxophonist shabaka hutchings’ bold declaration that “my queen is harriet tubman.” the unrelenting highlight of the band’s impulse! debut, your queen is a reptile, “harriet tubman” unites african american jazz and afro caribbean soca. but uk sounds also bubble up on the track, from the punk sneer inherent in that title to the dubstep wobble in tuba player theon cross’ huffed frequencies. and then there’s hutchings’ own breathless solo, his staccato shrieks matching the rapidfire flow of grime. drawing on many musical heritages, “harriet tubman” also moves forward, its sound igniting the spirit of all future freedom fighters.  andy beta listen: sons of kemet, “my queen is harriet tubman” self released “my life” feels like it came from a different century. the uncut bombast of atlanta rap group rich kidz’ towering tune was laced by producer london on da track, but its pure sonic overload was lovingly ripped from the gigantic sound popularized by lex luger, before a variety of issues drove him off the map for the rest of the decade. waka flocka flame’s contributions to the song resemble a pack of sound effects played all at once, evoking the smoking barrel chaos of his own 2010 masterpiece, flockaveli, though the rapper’s career is currently mired in reality tv purgatory. even rich kidz’ skooly and rk kaelub are no longer making music together anymore. but no matter what’s happened since, “my life” is still a kool aid colored diamond that hasn’t lost any of its blinding sparkle.  larry fitzmaurice listen: rich kidz, “my life” [ft. waka flocka flame] dirty hit “the sound” has all the hallmarks of a great 1975 song: a sticky chorus, bouncing neon synths, matty healy name dropping greek philosophers and promptly calling himself a cliché. it’s fun and clever and anthemic while taking the piss out of big anthems at the same time. above all the roaring maximalism, healy is tuned to the sound of his many, many desires: for attention, sex, intellectual validation, intimacy, and, quite possibly, immortality. with this, he embodies a very millennial mindset: as eager to promote himself as he is to air all of his insecurities.  matthew strauss listen: the 1975, “the sound” epic a tribe called quest have never been conscious or woke in the way that so many of the best intentioned rappers are. instead, they adopt the playful, nihilistic tone of high cultural gatekeepers, turning it back onto those same gatekeepers over kick snare and hi hat. so it was deeply satisfying to hear the group strike as strongly as ever after 18 years of downtime on “the space program,” where they chuckle at the idea that nasa is anything more than a segregated train car, meant to take the rich to space and leave everyone else right where we’re at. over soft touch keyboards and guitars that pick up where 1996’s beats rhymes and life left off, the song opens up we got it from here... thank you 4 your service, tribe’s final album of tongue in cheek musings on the current state of the world and the weekend. “let's make something happen,” is the mantra, one anybody with a pulse can feel. we got it from here... is fossilized by the passing of phife dawg shortly after its release, and this track captures a group, a sound, and a spirit that fought to the last second to exist in a world that remained alien to it.  matthew trammell listen: a tribe called quest, “the space program” young turks when it came time for sampha to write and record his debut album, the uk singer was in mourning. his mother, whom he’d lived with and cared for in london, had died of cancer. the resulting lp, process, is a deeply personal look at the painful and, at times, transformative power of grief, and nowhere is that more apparent than on “(no one knows me) like the piano.” the ballad finds sampha anthropomorphizing the piano in his mother’s home, which was purchased by his father, who passed away when sampha was young. the instrument is likened to a childhood friend who helped him channel his despair into song. as sampha narrates his coming of age, the hiss of room tone and the cooing of birds can be heard deep in the mix. the effect is one of intimacy, of being welcomed into a private moment of respite.  gabriela tully claymore listen: sampha, “(no one knows me) like the piano” cash money/young money/republic nicki minaj may have become a star off of sugar rush pop rap anthems, but her status as one of the fiercest mcs of the decade was established by tracks like “come on a cone”: punchy, barb laced polemics displaying crushing levels of pettiness and animus. easily one of the most dynamic rap performances of the past 10 years, “come on a cone” is unswerving, deservedly smug, and incredibly funny. nicki wields her flashy fashion show front row status as a weapon that reinforces her power: “when i’m sittin’ with anna/i’m really sittin’ with anna/ain’t a metaphor, punchline i’m really sittin’ with anna,” she barks. “just admit that i’m winnin’,” she declares, and if you don’t, well... there’s a certain appendage nicki would like to stick in your face.  sheldon pearce listen: nicki minaj, “come on a cone” universal republic/island take a look at the youtube comments for florence and the machine’s “shake it out”: eight years after its release, the song is still helping people get through breakups, depression, illness, and even a prison sentence. such are the healing powers of florence welch’s gale force vocals delivering a message of hope and perseverance over florid gospel pop that sounds like the sun breaking through after a storm. florence’s multi platinum 2009 debut album lungs introduced the london singer to the world stage, but it was “shake it out” and its accompanying album, 2011’s ceremonials, that cemented her place as an arena and festival headliner a position she maintains to this day. few moments in pop this decade have delivered this level of ecstatic catharsis; only big rooms and big crowds can do it justice.  amy phillips listen: florence and the machine, “shake it out” epic you’d be forgiven for wondering why the guy who does the ad libs has top billing on this star studded 2011 posse cut. but here, dj khaled shows his gift for executive production, assembling a showcase for three of hip hop’s biggest artists. everyone sounds laid back and in their zone: rick ross leans into the fabulist drug kingpin fantasy he established on teflon don, and lil wayne is at his most casually confident (“you niggas on the bench like the bus coming”). but drake steals the show, drowning in his double cup while taking shots at the throne, perfectly paired to a beat from fellow canadians t minus, nikhil s., and noah “40” shebib that’s laced with synthesizers that sing like sirens. considering the hook is also lifted from drake’s “trust issues,” this song is as much his as khaled’s, a summer anthem that helped reinforce the hit making status of all involved.  matthew ismael ruiz listen: dj khaled, “i’m on one” [ft. drake, rick ross, and lil wayne] third man doom metal trio sleep became legends by doing a few simple things very well. they played slow. they played loud. they made smoking pot sound like an epic journey on par with lord of the rings. so when the band returned with their first new album in 15 years in 2018, the fact that their gnarly riffs sounded just as inspired as they did in the ’90s was worth celebrating. metal played at torpid speed often seems to invoke the apocalypse, and a colossal solo from guitarist matt pike in “marijuanaut’s theme” certainly suggests some kind of destruction. but sleep’s new music was remarkable for sounding equally combustive and comfortable in its freefall through space. close your eyes, they seem to say, there is a band playing in your head, and they are getting high.  sam sodomsky listen: sleep, “marijuanaut’s theme” columbia/xl in the first line of “rolling in the deep,” adele warns us of a coming fire, then she burns everything to the ground. the lead single from the mega selling breakup album 21 transformed her into a global star, and she has hardly made anything like it since. the lyrics quickly abandon hell hath no fury cliché: by the pre chorus, the boiling anger has cooled into sadness, revealing protruding scars. the music follows suit adele once described the song as “dark bluesy gospel disco,” which feels like the made up sub genre she was born to sing. her vocal control, the way she allows melisma to curl around the edges of her voice, is like a superpower that needed this song to reveal it.  rich juzwiak listen: adele, “rolling in the deep” self released lil peep’s “kiss” sounds like two or three songs staggering home together. the sampled guitars might be from a modern baseball song, or maybe another lil peep song entirely, and the first voices on the track are a half buried sample of the california pop punk band better luck next time; the echoes run together the same way that incoming headlights smear into one beam when you squint. produced by smokeasac, peep’s closest and most intimate creative partner, the song begins pickled in that signature peep weariness, but then a second song seems to yawn and wake up inside the first one. this is a cautiously exultant one, a rare peep anthem of bashful hope instead of despair: “one more chance, baby give me a kiss/ya got one more chance for a night like this,” he sings. it has the lifespan of a soap bubble, this fleeting burst of euphoria. you feel the urge to protect it.  jayson greene listen: lil peep, “kiss” loma vista surrounded by hypersexual synth workouts and fuzzed to all hell basslines, this bare piano ballad is the heartrending centerpiece of masseduction, annie clark’s fifth album as st. vincent. the song’s intimate verses, cribbed from clark’s own text messages to old friends, honor people and places who may have drifted away but will never be completely out of mind. “you’re the only motherfucker in the city who can stand me,” she sings. the chorus, meanwhile, zooms out into the cosmos, as she pays homage to fallen musical heroes like david bowie and prince. it’s a song about living, loving, and losing in the big city and not regretting any of it.  noah yoo listen: st. vincent, “new york” xl on “dum surfer,” king krule’s archy marshall showed that, aside from his beatmaking prowess and lounge lizard loucheness, he could also pen a terse rocker. singing with the affect of a boxer with a plugged nose, he veers between emotional extremes, calling out a band as “fucking trash” while sounding miserably convinced of his own fallibility. a snaking baritone sax and smoky dub effects blur the song’s edges until even the name calling title subtly shifts to a gentle adage: “don’t suffer.” had it come a few generations before, it might have made krule into alternative rock royalty alongside the pixies or sonic youth. instead, it made fans of everyone from weirdo jazz ensemble standing on the corner to beyoncé.  andy beta listen: king krule, “dum surfer” rca produced by l.a. hitmaker dj mustard, “2 on” is widescreen and intricately sculpted: its curling, high toned bassline seems to whir and chime, and its descending roll of pizzicato synth drums are so ear catching that they compete with the gorgeous vocal melody. “2 on” is tinashe’s term for being too high intoxication chased to the edge of oblivion. her lyrics ripple with references to liquor and smoke, and the song’s forthright celebration of “getting faded till we trip” may well have contributed to it only reaching no. 24 on the hot 100. (“live fast, die young, that’s my choice” does sound nihilistic, admittedly.) but tinashe’s sensuous, slurred lingering over the chorus “i luuuuu to get 2 on” is joyous and life affirming, a million miles from the deadened hedonism of so much trap. dissolution has never sounded so delicious.  simon reynolds listen: tinashe, “2 on” [ft. schoolboy q] rimas bad bunny was already one of the biggest acts in música urbana when his knockout debut lp x 100pre dropped in 2018, and the album’s fourth single, “caro,” offered the clearest picture of his brilliance. it’s the perfect vessel for his suave sadboi aesthetic: laid back yet full of bounce, draped in woozy synths and atmospheric coos that ground his nimble flow. it’s romantic yet political in its expression of the universal human desire to live one’s truth freely: “¿en qué te hago daño a ti?/y solamente soy feliz,” he croons (“how have i hurt you?/i’m just happy”). “caro” became a defining moment for bad bunny: in the wake of a homophobic backlash to his whimsical sartorial choices and predilection for freshly manicured nails, its video doubled down with a rejection of traditional gender roles and toxic masculinity. the stunning clip includes a female bad bunny stand in and a drag queen working the runway, and, during the song’s incandescent bridge featuring none other than ricky martin, bad bunny himself is seen receiving kisses from both a man and a woman. with “caro,” the puerto rican star flipped a few scripts that badly needed it.  matthew ismael ruiz listen: bad bunny, “caro” drag city like waiting out a snowstorm indoors, jessica pratt’s sophomore album on your own love again has an isolating power. amid its hazier material, “back, baby” is its clearest transmission, with a melody as familiar as an oldies radio standard. and yet pratt’s delivery strange, sad, slightly off kilter gives the sense of someone more interested in drowning out the world than inviting it in. alongside strums of a nylon string guitar, she cycles through the song’s bobbing refrains and wordless choruses, her voice sewn through with an intensity that belies its understated presentation. “sometimes i pray for the rain,” she sings as the sun peeks through the blinds. but even at her most upbeat, there’s a tinge of sadness, knowing all storms must pass.  sam sodomsky listen: jessica pratt, “back, baby” la vida saying there’s not much to andrés’ “new for u” might not be wrong, but it misses the point. simple tools are almost always the most effective, as the detroit dj proves here. using a lovely little string melody as its main flourish, “new for u” straddles the line between symphonic disco and house music. with its occasionally washed out vibe, it has the feel of being prewritten to play the way a great dj would deploy it, teasing out its peaks. once the dj for the motor city rap group slum village, andrés released a considerable amount of music this decade, but nothing competed with this track’s restrained power.  matthew schnipper listen: andrés, “new for u” sony prior to 2017, nigerian afropop singer davido had already established himself as one of africa’s premier artists, but “fall” turned him into a star the world over. who can blame everyone for falling in love with the song’s soft melody and davido’s tricky charisma? every line is uttered with both mesmerizing cockiness and vulnerability. “i don’t wanna be a player no more,” he pleads, raising his pitch. in the back half of the 2010s, afropop exploded in popularity, with countless artists attempting to hop on the trend. “fall” was instrumental in continuing to widen the influence of nigeria’s music on western culture, becoming an international anthem along the way.  alphonse pierre listen: davido, “fall” self released the most maximalist single from chance the rapper’s coloring book, “no problem” drapes layered gospel samples from every corner, like streamers bedecking a birthday party. the song bursts with childlike joy, from chance’s raspy laughs in the hook to the dizzying turns by its superstar guests. 2 chainz comes in with swift, blunt punches, while weezy takes his time, delivering the best flex of the entire track: “fuck the watch, i buy a new arm.” but all those bells and whistles can’t conceal the sharp knives these mcs have tucked behind their backs. “if one more label try to stop me,” chance barks, “it’s gon’ be some dread head niggas in ya lobby.” it’s a threat uttered through a smile, making this jubilant ode to independence sound that much more determined.  madison bloom listen: chance the rapper, “no problem” [ft. 2 chainz and lil wayne] cr203 months after squashing a bitter rivalry with fellow dancehall icon mavado that involved a dizzying stretch of singles, a peace concert, and a summit shepherded by jamaican prime minister bruce golding, vybz kartel dialed things back to deliver a fashion anthem that paid homage to that most classic of song topics: simply keeping the ’fit straight and the kicks clean. kartel is both light hearted and funny over the “mad collab” riddim, giving his pops fashion daps (“mi pattern mi daddy from mi was a youngster”), explaining proper wallabees hygiene (“toothbrush get out the dust fast”), and styling a whole look (“real badman no model inna shorts”). he also allowed his protégé, a young upstart named popcaan, to bless the track with a verse that includes the line “the queen fi england haffi love off yardie,” honoring a jamaican predilection for the british footwear brand uptown yardie that reflects jamaican migration to england. but more than anything, “clarks” offers kartel a chance to rep his own shoe rack. as he told the guardian in 2010, “i personally have more than 50 pair of clarks. i have more than there are states in america.”  julianne escobedo shepherd listen: vybz kartel, “clarks” [ft. popcaan and gaza slim] odd future “oldie” is a russian nesting doll where the prize at the center is the first earl sweatshirt appearance following his fabled exile in samoa. though the last song on the of tape vol. 2 features the whole crew even frank taking turns rapping, the whole point is that one verse. it’s a knotty, 40 bar exercise that confirmed what those who’d waded through tumblr to find his early work already knew: bar for bar, earl is a generational talent, impervious to hype. a few years later, on his album i don’t like shit, i don’t go outside, earl plainly stated what had been true all along: “if i’m on the track, these niggas skip to me.”  paul a. thompson listen: odd future, “oldie” columbia/rinse “katy on a mission” began as “man on a mission,” a dubstep cut by producer benga. but then katy b’s remake went top 5 in the uk, decisively punting out the titular “man,” and making the young london singer not just the face of underground dance music, but a mirror for dance pop at large too. katy is neither a belter nor a cooing soubrette but an everygirl, imbuing her vocals with relatable frankness and yearning. on “katy on a mission,” she’s both a poised singer her vocal tenses and slacks alongside benga’s track effortlessly and an audience surrogate. she moves back and forth between cool confidence and total surrender at the speed of a strobe light flicker, taking listeners along like a hand pulling them onto the dancefloor.  katherine st. asaph listen: katy b, “katy on a mission” warner waka flocka flame worked hard to conjure an image of out and out raucousness, but his debut record, 2010’s flockaveli, is sneakily varied: he slides slickly into pockets, at turns vicious or playful; he revels in whatever material goods are right in front of him while still lamenting the way life might have gone better. his booming, lex luger produced warning shot, “hard in da paint,” contains all of these well trodden modes while feeling totally singular. at first he brags about having not only a main bitch, but a girlfriend and a mistress; by the end he’s admitting, “when my little brother died, i said ‘fuck school.’” this is not a “dichotomy of man” thing, where the point is to feel the tension between warring impulses. the point is that this is all happening, all at once.  paul a. thompson listen: waka flocka flame, “hard in da paint” sony when beyoncé performs “1+1” live, she often kneels. it’s a fitting posture for a ballad about the divine nature of love. on the recording, her voice is sparingly framed with a handful of elements a prince esque guitar line, gospel organ, and the shimmer of chimes so when bey conjures up a primal growl before launching back into a tender falsetto, there’s little to distract from the sheer force of her vocals. the song’s structure is simple: beyoncé admits that she doesn’t know about something be it math, guns, or war and then quickly pivots back to her devotion to her partner, finding reassurance in his strength and permanence. the resulting message is one that’s beautiful in its near spiritual wisdom: trust in love, and it will anchor and guide you through all of life’s uncertainties.  michelle kim listen: beyoncé, “1+1” night slugs what makes “wut” such a propulsive blast of energy is both its dexterous manipulation of tension and release, and its seemingly hyperdimensional use of texture. drawing on the dynamics of 808 fueled rap instrumentals, and replete with a mischievous vocal sample, wobbly synths, and well timed use of an airhorn, “wut” is one of the cheekiest peak time tracks to emerge from the transatlantic club scene this decade. it’s one of those impossible not to move to tunes, a crystallization of the club’s love affair with hip hop.  ruth saxelby listen: girl unit, “wut” def jam “blood on the leaves” is a microcosm of what made kanye both great and awful this decade; it was because of everything he did so beautifully that we endured everything else he did poorly. the beat: a 2 fast 2 furious style collision of nina simone’s “strange fruit” and tnght’s “r u ready” that’s about as tasteful as a 10 car pileup. the vocal: a mangled auto tune yelp about paternity paranoia, cheating, and child support that includes a comparison between serial infidelity and apartheid. the song is about as ugly a piece of music as was made this decade, and yet it was leeringly ugly, purposefully so. the music kanye was cooking up to feed his overheated imagination was so lurid and tactile that, for this blazing moment and others, it held everything together.  jayson greene listen: kanye west, “blood on the leaves” yellow k in “everybody wants to love you,” japanese breakfast’s michelle zauner offers a vision of romance that is gloriously unrestrained. she lets her imagination run wild as she outlines the course of a hypothetical relationship, jumping from the quiet intimacy of a shared toothbrush to impromptu marriage. “can i get your number?/can i get you into bed?” she coyly asks over a celestial synthesizer. “when we wake up in the morning/will you give me lots of head?” featuring a jangly guitar solo and propulsive backing vocals, the song is deliriously catchy but with repeated listens, its upbeat surface begins to crack. is zauner singing about a new relationship, or is she desperately trying to breathe life into one that has grown stale? is the repeated title phrase a genuine celebration of attraction, or a mockery of romantic idolization? like love itself, “everybody wants to love you” is more complex than it first appears.  quinn moreland listen: japanese breakfast, “everybody wants to love you” fool’s gold more rap careers end at age 30 than begin at age 30. in 2011, danny brown was acutely aware of this fact, as he said goodbye to his 20s and made his final push towards rap stardom after spending years trapped in the industry spin cycle. the frantic “30” is imbued with the desperation of a man with his eye on the hourglass, realizing his last best hope is slipping away. what begins as absurdist punchline rap quickly devolves into a catalog of personal chaos. producer skywlkr’s horns sound like an accordion, wheezing and deflating cartoonishly, as brown is terrorized by an alternate future where his lifelong calling goes unrealized. he has visions of od’ing without knowing his daughter, of dying unloved and unfulfilled. “the last 10 years i been so fucking stressed/tears in my eyes let me get this off my chest/the thought of no success got a nigga chasing death,” he cries out. even listening to the song now, in the wake of eight years of triumphs for the detroit mc, it still devastates.  sheldon pearce listen: danny brown, “30” rca august 25, 2013: during her performance at the vmas, miley cyrus mimes anilingus on another woman, pleasures herself with a foam finger, and twerks all over robin thicke. she instantly destroys any remnants of her purity ring wearing hannah montana image, transforming from america’s sweetheart into america’s nightmare in a matter of minutes. that same day, she releases “wrecking ball,” the song that ensures she’ll still have a career when the dust settles. a perfect vehicle for miley’s burnt cigarette voice, “wrecking ball” spectacularly captures the agony of losing a love after coming on too strong. it’s one of the great torch songs of the 21st century, destined to be wailed by the drunk and heartsick at karaoke bars until the end of time. the video, in which a tearful miley fellates a sledgehammer and gyrates naked on top of a wrecking ball, will likely be used in highlight reels to evoke “the 2010s” for decades to come, too. unfortunately, the legacy of both the song and video are tainted by associations with two of the #metoo era’s biggest villains, producer dr. luke and photographer/director terry richardson (not to mention miley’s own myriad controversies). but when that chorus hits like a you know what, it’s impossible not to sing along at the top of your lungs.  amy phillips listen: miley cyrus, “wrecking ball” 4ad grown from the same new york art noise ooze that produced animal collective and yeah yeahs yeahs, gang gang dance blurred lines, participating in the whitney biennial en route to a global stage. opening 2011’s eye contact, the band’s nearly 11 and a half minute “glass jar” is prelude, overture, and banger all at once. the song is one of their many continuing tributes to late bandmate nathan maddox, who was struck by lightning on a chinatown rooftop in 2002, and a door to the next phase of their career. first comes a slow shift from spoken word drift to full on groove; then, synths that rain down with a classical sense of drama. the drums don’t coalesce into a steady rhythm until slightly more than halfway through. samples, references, and arty details abound on “glass jar,” but the destination is a brooklyn style drop, recognized on dancefloors the world over.  jesse jarnow listen: gang gang dance, “glass jar” cash money/young money/republic in 2012, nicki minaj was at the center of a burning debate about rap, pop, and credibility. onstage at new york rap station hot 97’s summer jam concert that june, blowhard dj peter rosenberg blasted her frothy hit “starships” as the antithesis of “real hip hop,” adding that it was for “chicks.” it was a small minded, chauvinist argument nicki’s very strength was always about how her wily versatility took rap to unprecedented places but the concurrent success of “beez in the trap” was also a perfect retort. you want “real hip hop”? here was nicki flipping bars over an alien beat as thrilling as the rapper herself, filled with synths and drums that buzz and bang and bubble. that “starships” and “beez in the trap” were from the same album, and hits at the same time, showed precisely who minaj was: a woman in possession of a strange and singular talent who could appeal to seemingly everyone, from tweens to twinks to rap obsessives.  alex frank listen: nicki minaj, “beez in the trap” [ft. 2 chainz] one little indian björk spent the decade increasingly entangled in complex experiments involving vr and bitcoin, with each new album presented as part of a wider technological narrative. it felt quietly ironic, then, that her best song of the era would plug into an emotional well older than time: heartbreak. “stonemilker,” the first track to be taken from björk’s eighth studio album, vulnicura, was inspired by her separation from artist matthew barney, her raw feelings splattered all across the lyrics. “show me emotional respect,” she demands on the hook, while volcanic beats pound and strings dive around her. in the future, the song’s vr video will seem as charmingly antiquated as a silent film reel, but its message of fierceness in the face of heartache will remain state of the art.  ben cardew listen: björk, “stonemilker” rca long after the summer breezes by, its anthems live on. hear a song like “crew,” and everything about the summer of 2017 relationships, moments, the weather on that one friday you cut out early comes rushing back in vivid detail. at its core, “crew” was destined to be a song that put on for goldlink’s native dmv, but it became so much more. link’s rapid delivery, shy glizzy’s conversational bars, and brent faiyaz’s silky throwback melody each feed into each other seamlessly. together, the trio turned out a track as catchy as it is charming, one that should go down as a memorable addition into the backyard barbecue canon.  alphonse pierre listen: goldlink, “crew” [ft. brent faiyaz and shy glizzy] 10 summers/interscope ella mai’s breakout single “boo’d up” is a luxurious track unconcerned with the passing of time, with a glistening instrumental by dj mustard and a vocal that moves through the melody like falling into someone’s arms. it’s also an exceedingly unlikely top 10 hit. so many factors worked against “boo’d up”: the fact that ella mai was largely an unknown; that women in r&b, once the genre’s heart, had become the genre’s outsiders throughout the 2010s; that the song’s languid pace, unassuming sound, and besotten emotional clarity weren’t particularly marketable. and then people heard it, and all those factors floated away, irrelevant.  katherine st. asaph listen: ella mai, “boo’d up” young stoner life/300 entertainment so many collaborations lean on clichéd narratives about two artists rising to some grand occasion of shared interest. atlanta rappers gunna and lil baby, it seems, just want to make a run of impossibly fun songs and enjoy each other’s company. out of their many team ups, “sold out dates” is the most infectious the one where their voices blend to seamless heights, until it’s unclear where one ends and the other takes over. the constantly unfurling chorus leaps across the song’s electric guitar riff, finding one soft landing spot after another. if there is a sports analogy to be made, it is less stockton and malone, and more stockton and stockton: gunna and baby find each other in perfect position, then pass out of it, to an even more perfect position. their dynamic has the same feel as watch the throne era kanye and jay, not trying to make a mark by outdoing each other, just ruminating on the ever evolving idea of hedonism, and emerging with no answers.  hanif abdurraqib listen: gunna, “sold out dates” [ft. lil baby] atlantic after nearly a decade of branding herself as a rave happy club kid who parties until five in the morning, charli xcx’s facade cracked. on “gone,” she feels adrift at an event and spirals into despair. “i feel so unstable/fucking hate these people,” charli sings over an ’80s funk pop beat. these lines about unbelonging also double as a metaphor for the constrictions she faces as a major label artist who is expected to churn out chart hits but prefers to tweak and deconstruct them instead. joining the rampage is fellow pop rule breaker héloïse letissier of christine and the queens, who descends into paranoia, posing some truly mystifying questions about whether she’s “the smoke” or “the sun.” the madness escalates into a breakdown of glitching vocal chops, metallic clanking, and dramatic power synth fills. it’s the soundtrack to a mental breakdown, the kind that ensues right before you come back even stronger.  michelle kim listen: charli xcx, “gone” [ft. christine and the queens] matador a spoon song is typically defined by what you can’t hear as much as what you can: they are stripped and reduced to their elements, allowing the band to build music with visible architecture and plenty of open space. all this matters because “inside out” is quite possibly the most lush spoon song ever written. built on a rigid rhythm that acts as a backbone for a harp solo not exactly their signature sound and frontman britt daniel’s raspy lyrics about how life can be pretty simple if you know what you want and avoid getting dragged down by everything else, it’s not quite spoon gone new age, but it also doesn’t sound a whole lot like any other spoon song. the greatness of “inside out” lies not just in its unexpected softness, but in daniel’s ability to be wise and brash at the same time. earned wisdom is a part of getting older; rarely does it sound this accomplished.  sam hockley smith listen: spoon, “inside out” def jam you know those old monster movies, the ones where an almighty beast lumbers through a terrified city, toppling buildings and swatting planes out of the sky as bullets bounce off his torso? at some point, rick ross must have leaned forward in his leather chair and thought to himself, what would it sound like if that monster were rapping right now? ross channeled that energy on “b.m.f.,” his quaking collaboration with producer lex luger. for four minutes, the rapper takes the form of an all powerful, coke fueled leviathan laughing with maniacal disdain as he demolishes any obstacle standing between him and his bottom line. you can’t stop him. you can’t negotiate with him. all you can do is build a statue in his honor and marvel at the merciless efficiency of his wrath.  evan rytlewski listen: rick ross, “b.m.f. (blowin’ money fast)” [ft. styles p] def jam “needed me” offered a clear crystallization of rihanna as a well traveled, yeehaw pioneering outlaw: people needed her, and she needed no one. it should feel normal, but it was thrilling to witness a woman governed only by her own rules, acting like a man. on the other hand, “needed me” is tender and sadly wise, a song about someone who is capable of being strong in a relationship and has learned they can’t expect to rely on anyone. and why bother? put to music with radio heavy hitters dj mustard, frank dukes, and starrah, the song is sexy and savage, a way for rihanna to flex her unique ability to inhabit the tastes and feelings of both gen z and gen x. it resonated massively but quietly, becoming her longest charting hit without ever hitting the top 5.  naomi zeichner listen: rihanna, “needed me” xl gil scott heron had a love hate relationship with the city he called home for most of his life. in the mid ’70s, not long after president ford told the city to drop dead, scott heron wrote a love letter simply called “new york city” extolling the place as beautiful and benignly energetic. thirty five years later, when jay z and alicia keys were still riding high on their local anthem “empire state of mind,” scott heron presented a different, much darker depiction of the city. “new york is killing me” portrays a place sapped of all promise and opportunity, defined by an alienation and isolation that scott heron suggests is fatal. the production, courtesy of xl recordings owner richard russell, is constricting, as if it’s been breathing exhaust fumes all day. the music is busy yet austere, prodding and cajoling scott heron with jump rope rhythms, disruptive clatter, and a bassline that pulsates like the jarring rumble of a subway car. “eight million people, and i didn’t have a single friend,” he sang, his voice heavy with worry and regret. the past tense hurt when the song was released in 2010, and it only stung more when he died a year later.  stephen deusner listen: gil scott heron, “new york is killing me” ear drummer in 2014, rae sremmurd stepped into the spotlight with the infectious “no flex zone,” backed by mike will made it at the height of his superproducer powers. the two baby faced brothers had a club anthem on their hands, though many were skeptical about their ability as rappers and wrote them off. but within months they topped their first hit with “no type,” which elevated swae lee and slim jxmmi from predicted one hit wonders into bona fide stars. at the song’s irresistible core is swae’s gliding chorus, but “no type” is more than just a catchy hook: it established the duo’s yin yang balance of sparkling melody and raucous energy.  alphonse pierre listen: rae sremmurd, “no type” matador iceage mellowed the hardcore chaos and angst of their first two records in favor of tightly strung cowpunk with “the lord’s favorite.” the song finds frontman elias bender rønnenfelt playing the part of a lovesick megalomaniac intoxicated by the allure of expensive wine, cheap makeup, and five inch heels. in the darkness of a seedy club, these gaudy vices spur rønnenfelt’s sloshed barfly to proselytize about his divine privilege. “after all i think it’s evident that i am god’s favorite one/and now is the time i should have whatever i desire,” he moans, letting that last word ooze from his lips. as the danish band kicked up a rockabilly storm, they showed that they have more to offer than clenched fist angst.  quinn moreland listen: iceage, “the lord’s favorite” cash money a pastiche artist of the social media age, drake seamlessly exchanges music and cultural references like a tumblr teen mashing up spongebob gifs and this is the song that solidified his status as hip hop’s supreme memelord. drake first conceived of it as a remix to dram’s “cha cha,” with producer nineteen85 flipping timmy thomas’ 1972 soul classic “why can't we live together” onto an impossibly catchy syncopated drum sequence. dram and drake bickered over credit as “hotline bling” blew up, largely thanks to a music video that cribbed visual artist james turrell’s 2013 installation “breathing light” and its instagram ready rooms bathed in neon pastel tones. within months, the high priestess of neo soul, erykah badu, made an entire mixtape riffing on the “hotline” concept, expanding it into a treatise on the role of phones in modern society (featuring bars from a drake soundalike named aubrey, no less). a veritable human centipede of modern art, the most lasting legacy of “hotline bling” may just be the inextricable ties to the work it inspired and was inspired by.  matthew ismael ruiz listen: drake, “hotline bling” godmode one of brooklyn’s most exciting young electronic artists began with deliberate secrecy: yaeji initially sang in korean because she didn’t want others to understand her, then came to love those arch, elegant syllables with new ears. her breakthrough single is clear in that affection; she roves over narcotic synths and trap drums with icy vocal tones, her gently libertine words delivered in an unhurried rap cadence. a bit of english peeps into the bridge more as an aside than an accommodation after she’s just murmured the line “that’s not it” in korean several times, a lovely and winking moment of benign miscommunication. that elastic bass drop, though, can’t be mistaken.  stacey anderson listen: yaeji, “drink i’m sippin on” self released sending nudes of such high quality that the recipient uses up all their data. comparing a dick to the statue of liberty. the lines, “coochie guaranteed to put you to sleep so damn soon/ridin’ on that dick, i’m readin’ goodnight moon.” these are some of cupcakke’s tamer moments on “duck duck goose.” the chicago rapper’s salacious humor is on full display here, in an endless barrage of x rated jokes. the track also shows that she can spit better than anyone in the room, and is able to lace her verses with the wit, puns, and vivid imagery of an elite songwriter. cupcakke delivers it all over an instrumental ready for an overstuffed, sweaty club the perfect place to experience her brilliance.  alphonse pierre listen: cupcakke, “duck duck goose” interscope/konichiwa “honey” is one of robyn’s filthier tunes a 3 a.m. booty call set to a pulsing house beat. the song flows slowly, picking up rattling hi hats and strobing synthesizer as it oozes along the dancefloor. meanwhile, the swedish star allows plenty of space for her visuals to bloom the “strands of saliva” laced with glitter, the emeralds glinting on pavement. each syllable is drawn out like taffy, and her voice hovers just above a whisper, as if she wants you to lean in a little closer. but her message is so clear there’s no need to shout it: a decade after she danced alone, robyn made a triumphant return to the discotheque. but this time, she won’t be leaving solo.  madison bloom listen: robyn, “honey” young turks kamasi washington is an artist who needs room to meditate, sculpt, engineer. his songs, each their own island of brewing affect, are where his ideas find pulse, where they’re outfitted with all the sensory trademarks that accent his catalog. “truth” is the finest, and perhaps most psalm like, of the saxophonist’s musical regions the wet bass, the godly orchestral wails, the intoxication and pure cut adrenaline reminiscent of master architect phraroah sanders. it’s washington’s very own odyssey only funkier, afro’d, and regaled in a senegalese dashiki. you know, king shit. originally composed for an exhibit at the 2017 whitney biennial and later packaged as the closer on washington’s harmony of difference ep, “truth” is about journeys: spiritual, musical, human. it’s a track so complexly layered in its artistic command that it places him alongside historians who’ve mined the folkways of black los angeles in their work, from poet wanda coleman and director john singleton to visual artist betye saar and producer dj quik. listen closely and you’ll hear the tension and swoop of life, the emotional velocity of love, the drama of drawn breath.  jason parham listen: kamasi washington, “truth” epic future’s music constantly dramatizes the tragedy of excess and indulgence by celebrating those very things. the strategy should be nearly impossible to pull off, and yet the atlanta star is one of the most gifted stylists in contemporary rap. “mask off,” his highest charting single, should be an over the top breaking point he repeats the words “molly” and “percocet” in the chorus more than he does the title. but still he rises to the occasion by plumbing the depths of drug abuse. future offers his chilling description of lean in two words “my guillotine” while a flute sample of “prison song,” from the 1978 musical selma, a tribute to dr. martin luther king, jr. and the civil rights movement, snakes around his vocals. “cold chills, prison cells,” the screwed vocals from “prison song” intone at the outro. “mask off” is one of future's most cartoonish songs, but perhaps that’s the best way to encapsulate a reality that’s careening dangerously into the unreal.  ross scarano listen: future, “mask off” matador “baby’s arms” is the sound of kurt vile’s slacker zen persona snapping suddenly into focus. the opening track of 2011’s smoke ring for my halo felt like a reintroduction for the philadelphia songwriter, who had previously hidden behind a curtain of reverb. working with his band the violators, producer john agnello, and an expanded cast, vile replaced the bleary atmosphere of his earliest releases with crystalline finger picking, and the mumbled aphorisms with odes to his loved one. “baby’s arms” is cool and sweet, intimate and resonant. it sounds full while barely rising above a whisper.  jesse jarnow listen: kurt vile, “baby’s arms” italians do it better johnny jewel takes a lot of flack for perfectionism, but listen to a song like “kill for love” and the infamously exacting chromatics ringleader looks a lot more rational. the title track from the group’s 2012 album is their mission in miniature: the sound of ennui in search of bliss. ruth radelet’s deceptively blasé vocal performance articulates the craving for novelty lurking within habit: “i drank the water and i felt all right/i took a pill almost every night/in my mind, i was waiting for change.” the fractured synth stabs are sharp enough to split geodes; the guitars dizzy and sentimental, melty and echoing; the cymbal rattles nonstop. under the anxiety and damage are the same elemental urges, where every momentary escape holds the promise of nothing, now and forever.  anna gaca listen: chromatics, “kill for love” rca did any rap song this decade open with five words more immediately iconic than “i be that pretty motherfucker”? from the moment “peso” broke, it was clear that it was going to vault a$ap rocky to a stardom built atop sounds from memphis and houston, but presented as the new yorker’s alchemic birthright. in the video, he mugged with diamond teeth and coiled up charisma shirtless, venomous. the money started rolling in, followed soon after by the jokes: can you believe he’s named after rakim but he raps like this? and true, nothing about rocky’s music is as intricate, groundbreaking, or downright mean as the great stars of new york’s past. but you can’t tell him he isn’t pretty.  paul a. thompson listen: a$ap rocky, “peso” lava/republic at the start of the decade, pop music taught teenagers what their desires were, not the other way around. according to the radio, teen dreams were filled with earth shattering parties and unconscionable excess tracked to wall of sound synth production best suited for football stadiums. and then new zealand’s 16 year old lorde strolled into the charts like a supremely over it exchange student, singing her chilly, nearly a capella manifesto about just how tired she was of songs about tigers and jet planes and cadillacs. while “royals”’ pillory of rap video tropes attracted accusations of racism, the song propelled lorde to stardom and transformed pop in the process. in the years since, the genre has grown bleaker, replacing maximalist odes to excess with bummed out songs stressing isolation and anxiety. and a new generation of artists who speak to the same sense of teen ennui halsey and clairo and billie eilish have proliferated, working to override the industry’s male gaze instead of playing into it. as it introduced a new kind of pop star, “royals” challenged the world’s biggest artists to be not just enviable, but relatable.  hazel cills listen: lorde, “royals” tsbv2 in 2013, young thug descended from an unknown planet equipped with a language that everyone was dying to learn and a melody that reshaped what we thought we knew about rappers who sing. for many outside of atlanta, “danny glover” was their introduction to this otherworldly persona. thug raps fast and coos punchlines that stick: “i don’t like using profanity, but the young thugger will gut you.” he has quirks on top of quirks, but they’re all coddled inside go to producer southside’s signature trunk rattling hi hats and 808s. when “danny glover” arrived, thug sounded like no one else; now it’s hard to imagine what rap would sound like without him.  alphonse pierre listen: young thug, “danny glover” r&s james blake charted the next step in bass music’s evolution with “cmyk.” sampling both kelis and aaliyah, the song looked backward to late ’90s r&b, whose ribbon like vocals and plush harmonies would become hallmarks of the young british producer’s music. more important was what he did with those vocals: chopping, re pitching, and layering them with his own processed voice, creating a strange, hybrid call and response that floated, web like, over synths as spongy as marshland. it was the sound of a new world coming into focus, and it would guide his music for years to come.  philip sherburne listen: james blake, “cmyk” laface in her video for “ride,” ciara shows off her remarkable dance skills and sheer athleticism. she also straddles a mechanical bull while wearing a drenched undershirt. bet reportedly banned the sultry clip from its airwaves a decision ciara called “very unfortunate” and refused to back down from, never making a toned down version for them. she didn’t need their cosign. on “ride,” the atlanta singer flaunts her artistic command, meeting the track’s distorted beat with an almost clipped vocal performance that underscores her confidence. not even an audaciously horny ludacris feature can derail ciara’s show: she makes no concessions.  matthew strauss listen: ciara, “ride” [ft. ludacris] ll lykke li once compared the overwhelming desire that ignited “i follow rivers” to a “nature force,” one in which you’re at the mercy of another person so completely that “you almost have no voice.” she expresses that cataclysmic metaphor in a storm of stomping girl group drums, dissonant organ, and stuttering vocals. the song signaled an about face from the more delicate, hushed tracks she first broke out with, affording her a deeper layer of darkness that she’d then yet to unearth. she may have been simply trying to satisfy some serious thirst on “i follow rivers,” but her pained, lusty delivery gives her yearning a cosmic pull.  eric torres listen: lykke li, “i follow rivers” cash money/young money/republic one of the reasons “super bass” is such a banger is its emotional depth: just take a close listen to the mournful chords that run beneath the verses, providing contrast and context for the track’s hot blooded desire, as well as its siren call to party. having shared a male gaze flipping list of what she finds attractive in a man, nicki minaj’s quickfire bars race the beat to the chorus, which “boom badoom boom” bursts like a rainbow after a downpour. a trance y bridge with digital strings seals the deal on this masterclass in contemporary pop.  ruth saxelby listen: nicki minaj, “super bass” fader clairo’s claire cottrill had uploaded plenty of relatable and catchy bedroom pop songs before “bags” including her viral hit “pretty girl,” which lamented the unfair sacrifices women often make in their romantic relationships though they ultimately felt slight, like she was holding something back. the lead single of her debut album, immunity, reintroduced her with new vigor and undeniable shine. co produced with rostam, “bags” leaves her lo fi origins firmly in the past. the song is a flurry of action as drums shimmy, synths whirr like insect wings, and keys clamor drunkenly, yet cottrill’s voice is composed and calm as she recalls her love walking out on her. it vividly captures the tremendous effort that goes into maintaining a cool façade after the door slams shut.  vrinda jagota listen: clairo, “bags” interscope/awge there are album artists and singles artists, and then there’s playboi carti, a rapper whose work is most ravenously devoured via compressed to hell snippets ripped from instagram. hailing from the most anarchic corners of the social internet (but also atlanta), carti is someone whose promise will always outpace his official output, and that is by design. “magnolia” is the rare moment when all his significant skills are put to use in the same direction: it’s a sinister song with an instantly quotable hook that otherwise functions mostly as an extended ad lib. the hit also served as producer pi’erre bourne’s national introduction, launching him from relative obscurity to rap production’s a list. “magnolia” is the single best distillation of carti and pi’erre’s chemistry, which, amid rap’s rapidly moving generational drift, has already spawned its own legion of pounding, skeletal imitations.  paul a. thompson listen: playboi carti, “magnolia” hyperdub footwork’s relationship to time has a lot to do with a kind of musical sleight of hand. some of the genre’s sonic elements run at triple time while others dawdle, yet a sense of urgency remains consistent. and no one has ever wielded that energy as fluidly as dj rashad. “feelin,” from 2013’s double cup, the only album he released before his death the following year, pivots off a languid sax riff from roy ayers’ “brand new feeling” and distills soul singer merry clayton’s formidable vocal into animated squiggles that ride atop rashad’s frenzied beat. (it’s worth noting that members of rashad’s teklife crew, djs spinn and taso, joined the producer in fleshing out “feelin” from an earlier version he released in 2012.) ayers’ original is about the transformative power of the first flush of love. rashad’s take is more a rumination on the everyday search to feel something anything amid the frantic pace of life.  ruth saxelby listen: dj rashad, “feelin” [ft. spinn and taso] def jam “sorry” is a strange creature. by grafting a fashionably clipped pop melody over a retro, shabba ranks inspired caribbean fusion beat, producers skrillex and bloodpop created one of the best tropical house hits of the decade. the ethereal hook, crafted from justin bieber’s pitched and manipulated vocal, squares off against a synth horn line and a surging drop. but what truly elevates “sorry” are its witty lyrics: “i know you know that i made those mistakes maybe once or twice/by once or twice, i mean maybe a couple of hundred times,” bieber coos, managing to sound pensive, subdued, and even a little sexy at the same time. that this fallen teen idol, the decade’s emblem of white male petulance and bad boy behavior, was crooning for redemption and second chances in an age of #blacklivesmatter protests especially in the context of his enduring appropriation of urban culture shouldn’t be lost on anyone.  jason king listen: justin bieber, “sorry” sub pop here is an anthem for anyone who has felt adrift, abandoned, unsure of their purpose in the world. the title track to fleet foxes’ impressionistic second album revealed a more intriguing side of frontman robin pecknold; something dark and complex had lurked beneath the songwriter’s soaring harmonies from the beginning, and “helplessness blues” represented all of his neuroses writ large. in the verses, he contemplates what it means to be useful, to others and to yourself, before the song’s passionate strumming rips open to reveal miles of wide open drum fills and dreams of a simpler life in (where else?) the country. “someday i’ll be like the man on the screen,” pecknold claims in the song’s closing seconds. it’s a line that’s just ambiguous enough to drive home how frequently his generation has caught a glimpse at a different life and, for a brief moment, pondered the worth of the tools we’ve been given.  larry fitzmaurice listen: fleet foxes, “helplessness blues” epic by any conventional wisdom, a five minute, three part suite of a song should have never become a phenomenon in a climate where dwindling attention spans are leading to shorter and shorter hits. but “sicko mode” is fueled by the power of travis scott and drake, two of the era’s defining rappers, operating at an energized high. the song’s first part is a short drake verse that cuts off abruptly a tease that only makes you want more. once the funky second beat hits, you forget about drake as travis takes center stage with some of the best rapping of his career. the gradual build meets a grand finale, where travis and the toronto icon fuse for one of the decade’s signature back and forths.  alphonse pierre listen: travis scott, “sicko mode” [ft. drake] rca usher once ruled r&b so decisively that the music industry spent over a decade churning out clones of him. but by 2010, he was reduced to guesting on anonymous max martin and will.i.am tracks, just another pop singer. then came “climax,” which single handedly rescued his critical reputation from lyrics like, “honey got some boobies like wow, oh wow.” co produced by an uncharacteristically restrained diplo, the 2012 hit was quickly compared to alt r&b newcomers like james blake and the weeknd. but instead of conveying intense feelings with a chilly shrug, usher is clearly pained as he eulogizes a failing relationship in a lonely falsetto. the verses try to build, don’t, try again, don’t again. at one point, usher abruptly turns the whole thing into what seems like a final roaring emotional plea, a would be climax, but it isn’t enough, and the track recedes again. as a match of song to message, it’s brilliant. as a microcosm of usher’s career, it’s sadly prophetic: he would spend the rest of the decade trying to recapture “climax”’s highs.  katherine st. asaph listen: usher, “climax” hyperdub agonizingly, burial never gave us a proper follow up to his classic 2007 album untrue this decade, instead resorting to intermittent singles and eps. but this strategy still resulted in tracks that lived up to the mysterious producer’s lofty legacy, none more so than “kindred.” while still rooted in his lifelong obsession with the feral jungle choons of his youth, the song sunk even deeper into the turbidity of our modern world, embracing decay and loss much like william basinski’s the disintegration loops did a decade prior. “kindred” feels haunted, its errant noises both disrupting the flow and somehow cohering everything into a jaw dropping, 12 minute opus. it’s a corrupted symphony of a dozen open youtube tabs, the sound of the flames burning all around us.  andy beta listen: burial, “kindred” republic here is the pop american psycho, a work that sums up all that’s decadent and a little disgusting about our era. it’s also the greatest song the weeknd, that dark knight of r&b, ever made. ostensibly a druggy party track, it’s called “the morning” as if to dare us to look at the bacchanal in the glare of day, when the abandoned solo cups are spilled onto the carpet. it was abel tesfaye’s first big statement to the world, so resonant it would make him famous: there are strippers and codeine and money atop a hungover tempo that feels like a symbol of generational malaise. “the morning” might even qualify as horror, as tesfaye refers to himself and his friends as “zombies of the night” a pretty terrifying way to characterize a bar crawl. the song made the weeknd an unlikely yet unflinching chronicler of fucked up times, the man we’ll put on the stereo when we want to remember exactly how good and terrible it all felt.  alex frank listen: the weeknd, “the morning” daft life limited/columbia “get lucky” debuted as a four bar loop in a commercial, which daft punk’s obsessive fans promptly re looped and re looped until it lasted 10 hours. when the full song finally arrived, the instrumentation was pretty much just those four bars over and over, and it was still engrossing. that’s the thing about this song: it’s so simple someone made a chintzy midi version of it, but so sinuous that it’s also inspired debates by music theory journals about what key it’s in. it’s clearly a ’70s pastiche, but it also sounds immediate, even before the robo beeps and boops come in. daft punk take the right parts of this song either incredibly seriously or not seriously at all. the disco groove is an immaculate, unironic homage to nile rodgers’ chic, produced alongside the man himself, who plays guitar on the song. the irony is saved for the lyrics, where pharrell does not even remotely try to keep a straight face while singing his lines about “the legend of the phoenix.” after four lines, he gives up the philosophizing and focuses on the task at hand: getting lucky. but unlike the other huge disco funk hit of 2013, “blurred lines,” this song doesn’t come off too sleazy there just isn’t enough there. within those four bars, it’s hard to hear anything but precisely executed joy.  katherine st. asaph listen: daft punk, “get lucky” [ft. pharrell] sacred bones in theory, the norwegian artist jenny hval set out to create an experimental pop album about period blood and vampires with 2016’s blood bitch. really, the record was a deeply accomplished inquiry into the possibility of a feminine sound that gravitated towards the grotesque. at its emotional core is “conceptual romance,” a song that floats like a cloud, its hazy procession tempered by the rigor of hval’s lyrics. a self described love letter to chris kraus’ 1997 novel i love dick, which helped shape a generation of feminist artists and intellectuals, “conceptual romance” is about the mind altering power of infatuation. “my heartbreak is too sentimental for you,” hval croons, slyly chipping back at emotionless masculinity. between each dreamlike note, “conceptual romance” acknowledges thinking and feeling as equally consequential pillars of our lives.  jenn pelly listen: jenny hval, “conceptual romance” fueled by ramen after three albums of careening mall punk thrills, paramore reinvented themselves with “ain’t it fun.” still their highest charting single, the song brought groove and soul to their sugar rushing sound not to mention a gospel choir and real world resilience. “it’s easy to ignore trouble/when you’re living in a bubble,” hayley williams sings, but this is the sound of the bubble of youth freshly burst, of beginning to smash your rose tinted glasses, of not looking back. williams has never sounded more monumental or self possessed. “ain’t it fun” proved paramore to be a legitimate pop force, authors of a new, genre blurring paradigm of what top 40 guitar rock could sound like in the 2010s. they may have made their name on rollercoaster hooks fit for warped tour influencing the likes of snail mail, princess nokia, and lil uzi vert in the process but here they grew into themselves, anticipating the influence of blown up hot topic emo in the unlikeliest of places.  jenn pelly listen: paramore, “ain’t it fun” polo grounds/rca “we were always weirdos,” ferg once said of his a$ap cohort, and the proof is this song, which remains a new york party staple six years later. there’s nothing formulaic about pairing a menacing sample from a twisted ’60s horror flick about a family scalping business with lavish praise for jamaican dancehall king shabba ranks which makes it perfectly appropriate for ferg and his crew. along the way, there are bizarre, ear twisting moments like ferg’s full bodied “master bruce!” yell and the unsettling, falling down a mineshaft ad lib that comes immediately after. the real shabba ranks makes a cameo in the video, and the gold jewelry enumerated in the chorus is true to his powerful life, but the strange details the guts of the song are ferg’s alone.  ross scarano listen: a$ap ferg, “shabba” [ft. a$ap rocky] young turks/columbia brooklyn synth pop aesthetes chairlift were a sneakily influential act right up until their split in 2016. along with fellow blog era columbia signees passion pit and mgmt, their off kilter approach to pop songwriting resonated throughout the music industry; dig through the roster of any major label at the start of this decade and you’d find a few acts who were trying to replicate caroline polachek and patrick wimberly’s approach, albeit without the duo’s left of center weirdness. “i belong in your arms” is the crown jewel of their strongest album, 2012’s something. polachek delivers lyrics as if she’s gasping for air, spitting stream of consciousness non sequiturs (“banana split/honestly/you’re my remote controller”) amid drum machines and synths so perpetually ascendant that they touch the sun. what comes through is the giddy sensation of falling so deeply in love that nothing quite makes sense except a warm embrace. giving so much of yourself to someone else is always a risky proposition, but for three and a half minutes, chairlift make the act of devotion sound worth it.  larry fitzmaurice listen: chairlift, “i belong in your arms” cash money aubrey graham took a confident leap of faith in himself by rapping on a sample of lauryn hill’s bad boyfriend soul classic “ex factor” in “nice for what,” a track that stepped out brazenly on a bounce beat with extra vocals from nola icon big freedia. but drake’s message landed like a grown man’s mea culpa for the dog gospel he’s spread for much of the decade a twerking devotional to all the insta queens who’ve been wronged by rudely emotional, blame denying men like drake. as often as he’s been dismissed as making “music for girls,” the rapper really did so in good faith with “nice for what,” a celebration of self sustaining women who keep it moving “had a man last year, life goes on” and prefer glowing up alongside their crew to mollifying sweet talking dudes. the song’s video had director karena evans female gazing upon a cast of accomplished women misty copeland, tracee ellis ross, olivia wilde, tiffany haddish making drake’s magnanimity seem that much more legit. fatherhood matured him, maybe; perhaps he’s even graduated from the supreme rug and basketball hoop in his bedroom.  julianne escobedo shepherd listen: drake, “nice for what” wichita the title track from philadelphia duo girlpool’s debut album, before the world was big, distilled the anxieties harmony tividad and cleo tucker faced as their little band took off, painting an honest portrait of what it means to come of age in the 21st century. the song starts with the amateurish tinkling of a xylophone, the type you might find on the floor of a child’s bedroom. its delicate notes are pierced by a prickly guitar before tividad and tucker launch in, singing in tandem. together, they reminisce about how easy life felt when they were childhood friends, when reality confined itself to the surrounding neighborhood and the complexities of life had not yet made themselves known. together, they stand on the precipice of adulthood and eulogize a time when the future was just another question waiting to be answered.  gabriela tully claymore listen: girlpool, “before the world was big” 300 entertainment on its face, fetty wap’s “trap queen” is as straightforward as its opening line: “i’m like, ‘hey, what’s up, hello?’” made up of only a handful of rhyme schemes, it’s a pop rap song designed to burrow into your head and never escape, complete with glittering trap production and a drug pushing, bonnie and clyde type love story. what prevents it from being overly repetitive, though, is the new jersey rapper’s irregular voice; his electronically enhanced vibrato is so deep and tremulous, it welcomed comparisons to yodeling. but like roger troutman of zapp and other funk pioneers of the past, fetty used effects not to sanitize or correct his voice, but to inject even more emotion into it. so every time he sings, “baby, yeahhhh,” each slightly mechanical crack and quiver rings with extra devotion.  michelle kim listen: fetty wap, “trap queen” atlantic when chart dominating acts like ed sheeran have fashioned superstardom from a corny outsider narrative, where does that leave the real weirdos the ones who don’t even fit the basic binary of high glamour and humdrum convention? christine and the queens’ “tilted” elegantly articulates that liminal territory, and, more elegantly still, avoids commodifying it with a hashtagable definition. (that satisfying slipperiness may be a quirk of the french singer’s impressionistic approach to writing in english.) “tilted” makes room for all manner of imbalance as it advocates for neutrality rather than ticker tape positivity: when she sings “actually” in the line “i am actually good,” the word shrugs off the idea that self loathing should be a natural state. and when the synths in the verses lurch like warm blood rushes of adrenaline, or arousal, chris conveys a real time sense of being overcome by acceptance for the first time.  laura snapes listen: christine and the queens, “tilted” aftermath/interscope/top dawg it’s a rapper’s true test to not only string together rhyming lyrics but to frame them, couching in themes and smoothing big ideas into mantras. it’s why word soup rap enjoys a cult following but falls on deaf ears to everyday audiences; “keep it simple” is a motto many lyricists can’t hold to. in this way, kendrick lamar is an anomaly: as dense as his lyrics can be, he zooms out onto big ideas that are resonant and impactful to the masses. he does this on “dna.,” a blistering personal statement from 2017’s damn. that digs back generations and stamps a moment of collective tensing among black americans. in the face of a growing, grinning wave of genocidal hate speech delivered with the presidential seal of approval, lamar shouts forth the steely confidence of a people ready to bark and bite back, standing on roots that run centuries deep. the song’s riotous second half lets the final battle wage in all its chaos, as lamar lets off a breathless stanza that even brought the pulitzer committee to a hush.  matthew trammell listen: kendrick lamar, “dna.” sacred bones in the primordial ’60s of yore, californian surfer miki dora was a counterculture icon, a lawless criminal, and the distillation of american masculinity the stuff of tom wolfe books and dennis hopper flicks. in 2018, he lived on as one of the subjects of amen dunes’ fifth album, freedom. here, dora’s life is a mirror to indie rock songwriter damon mcmahon’s own. “miki dora” is about the surfer, but it’s also about the end of mcmahon’s youth, and what it means for him to grapple with maleness. those big west coast waves that dora surfed half a century ago are rendered endless in the mesmerizing rhythm of the song. eventually the guitar gets a bit roomier, and mcmahon’s perma stoned vocals rise ever so slightly, but there are no riptides in “miki dora,” only surf, sun, and pearl white flotsam.  sophie kemp listen: amen dunes, “miki dora” motown erykah badu’s 2015 mixtape but you caint use my phone reimagined other artists’ telephone based songs to delve into the nature of long distance communication; landlines connected people, she mused, while smartphones more often create distance. the tape’s origin may have been a “hotline bling” thought experiment, but its logical endpoint is “hello,” a dreamy isley brothers interpolation (by way of todd rundgren) that musically reunites badu with andré 3000, the father of her eldest child. she coos sweet salutations into the receiver, he untangles verses about the terrors of opening up be it the digital fear of unlocking your phone for a snoopy lover or the analog fear of sitting by, waiting, and having to bear your soul when the phone is finally answered. it feels like two people figuring things out. roughly half of american households don’t have landlines anymore. but here, the joys and anxieties of twirling a cord around your finger while sinking into a lengthy call aren’t yet antiquated.  sheldon pearce listen: erykah badu, “hello” [ft. andré 3000] capitol in the context of katy perry’s cartoonish early hits, the “teenage dream” music video is downright stark. no pyrotechnic breasts, psychedelic candy landscapes, or glow in the dark alien abductions: just katy, her ripped beau, and some similarly photogenic pals on a sepia toned drive along the beach. the track is similarly svelte and irresistible: a sunny, major key melody that shares a lineage with don henley’s “boys of summer,” new radicals’ “you get what you give,” and other pop hits that arrived pre loaded with nostalgia and widescreen emotions. at the time perry recorded it, she was attempting to become more than a pop novelty. as if realizing her ambitions mid sentence, she once explained in an interview, “i want people to… think of me as that pin up poster in their room or hopefully i can invade their dreams and be their teenage dream.” and just like that, her music turned bold and sweeping, owing more to the ’80s pop stars with whom she’d soon share chart milestones. meanwhile, she was midway through her 20s, about to get married, and entering a decade where her propensity for unsubtle gestures of positivity would fall in and out of fashion. but as she gazed toward the camera from the passenger seat in this song’s video, she seemed to have it all figured out.  sam sodomsky listen: katy perry, “teenage dream” warp/luckyme listening to “higher ground” is like getting hit by a freight truck while chugging a liter of cold brew. the track had tnght producers hudson mohawke and lunice bridging the gap between lex luger’s dirty south production and modern dance music, preluding (and arguably helping birth) the edm trap craze. its guttural brass line, ferocious breakdown, and vocal sample lifted from julie mcknight’s 2002 club anthem “home” combine to erect an imposing electronic music monument. the popularity of the track led its makers to recoil from the spotlight and quietly switch off the tnght signal, which is fair enough. in its sheer sonic magnitude, “higher ground” is essentially insurmountable.  noah yoo listen: tnght, “higher ground” young turks who knew the shy producer from whispery indie rock trio the xx could also throw a great party? dancehall star popcaan, trap royal young thug, and the sampled voices of ’70s a cappella group the persuasions meet in “i know there’s gonna be (good times),” a snare rolling standout from jamie xx’s 2015 solo debut, in colour. popcaan’s deft sing song amplifies the caribbean roots of jamie xx’s steel drums, while thug giddily squeals through the song’s empty space: when he declares, “i’ma ride in that pussy like a stroller,” his glee is contagious.  marc hogan listen: jamie xx, “i know there’s gonna be (good times)” [ft. young thug and popcaan] captured tracks a heartfelt tribute to a notoriously terrible brand of cigarettes became a career making moment for mac demarco. with his inaugural solo mini album rock and roll night club, the canadian singer established himself as a weirdo skeez with a shit eating grin a guy whose songs showed tons of promise if you pierced through the thick coats of deep voiced, slow motion gimmickry. on “ode to viceroy,” he sings tenderly about his unforgiving tobacco addiction and frequent trips to the bodega to buy another pack. “don’t let me see you cryin’,” he croons. again, he’s singing to a pack of cigarettes, but any inherent absurdity barely registers. the unlikely love song ends with the sound of him lighting up, inhaling, and collapsing into a fit of echoing coughs.  evan minsker listen: mac demarco, “ode to viceroy” rca d’angelo is such a naturalist that you can almost overlook his eccentricity. “really love” evokes the rapture of deep love, the blissful sensation of falling into orbit around the object of your affection. d’angelo’s honeyed coo, “i’m in really love with you,” is disarming in its sincerity and in its faint aberration “really” is used oddly, as an adjective rather than an adverb. it sounds off at first, but as the strings quiver and the unquantized drums tick along, every instance of the word becomes a knowing wink, a flash of intimacy. the song includes a spoken word intro in spanish, along with violin, viola, contrabass, sitar, multiple guitars, horns, synths even a curtis mayfield sample. (it shouldn’t be surprising that d’angelo plays many of these parts.) when “really love” was released as the single to black messiah in 2014, its richness felt like a statement: d’angelo had been largely out of sight for 14 years, but he’d never been idle.  stephen kearse listen: d’angelo & the vanguard, “really love” matador uplifted by chugging guitars and crashing drums, snail mail’s lindsey jordan mourns a relationship that’s crashing to the ground on “pristine.” the young indie rock musician leans into the grandiosity of her pain, layering anguished thought over anguished thought. any one line from the song “i know myself and i’ll never love anyone else,” “don’t you like me for me?” “i’ll still see you in everything, tomorrow and all the time” distills the exquisite, all consuming pain of teenage heartache. with these words, jordan builds a scarecrow outline of her relationship just to torch it all to the ground. “pristine” burns and burns, fueled by an urge to create one last beautiful spectacle out of failed romance.  vrinda jagota listen: snail mail, “pristine” brainfeeder for a virtuoso whose music explores the outer reaches of funk, yacht rock, and astral jazz, thundercat has always shown a sensitive undercurrent. in his first two solo albums, he slowed down a george duke love anthem, sang adoringly about his cat, and composed a heart wrenching tribute to a late friend. “them changes,” from his 2015 ep the beyond/where the giants roam, pairs this vulnerability with one of his best grooves. it’s a burbling stomp about being emotionally and literally destroyed, about how his heart has been ripped from his chest and his floor is covered in blood. (it’s worth noting that this man has a well documented love of samurai films.) thundercat seems dazed and panicked here, unable to process what’s happened as he begs for help. then, in an interlude, his trusty bass falls away and he sings some ethereal oooohs, pinpointing a sweet spot between boldness and fragility.  evan minsker listen: thundercat, “them changes” roc nation this was the music video that launched a thousand pearl clutching critiques, along with about as many think pieces about its radical significance. in it, rihanna nonchalantly threatens her accountant with a phrase often wielded by men. in the process, she kidnaps and tortures his wife, before taking a chainsaw to his neck. there are umteen ways to read into the politics of this video: what kind of violence are we sensitized to, and what makes us squirm? what does it look like for a woman to be powerful and angry while also being feminine? how are white women complicit in and benefitting from the bad behavior of white men? but ultimately, determining whether this video is good and feminist or bad and cancelled is futile; what freedom looks like for any woman cannot be simplified into one set of rules. this is for certain though: “bitch better have my money” is a song and video about rihanna putting herself her money, her friends, her revenge first.  vrinda jagota listen: rihanna, “bitch better have my money” ato in his 1973 poem “puerto rican obituary,” the nuyorican poet pedro pietri urged his people onward toward self knowledge and self love. more than 40 years later, alynda segarra, the singer songwriter behind hurray for the riff raff, used the poem as fuel for “pa’lante,” the penultimate track from her band’s 2017 album, the navigator. the record found segarra staking a new claim to her puerto rican identity, after a lifetime of “finding most of my heroes in white men.” but this song didn’t find its ultimate purpose until later that year, when hurricane maria arrived. since the storm hit, segarra continuously tried to find her way back to her ravaged ancestral homeland in a way that would allow her to give without taking. she finally made it in december 2018. while there, playing “pa’lante” for her people, she fully understood its time warped origin. as she told billboard: “it felt like i didn’t write the song we wrote the song.”  jonah bromwich listen: hurray for the riff raff, “pa’lante” xl until it resurfaced as the last track on a moon shaped pool, “true love waits” was best known among radiohead fans as the earnest acoustic ballad that got away. written more than 30 years earlier and unsuccessfully retooled for each of the band’s peak era masterpieces, the song was squandered at the bottom of the 2001 live album i might be wrong. but yorke never abandoned the studio version, eventually forgoing the experimental synthesizers and rhodes piano he kept trying to make work in favor of soft piano chords. in its final form, “true love waits” remains obliquely romantic, but instead of begging and pleading with his partner, yorke sounds resigned to a more solitary fate. in the context of the band’s and the song’s long term trajectory, this shift in tone shift feels major: yorke and co. know that the older you get, the more you realize how little is in your control.  jillian mapes listen: radiohead, “true love waits” maybach when posterity whittles an artist’s music career down to a few ripe seconds (and it will), they are lucky to be left with a single drum crack or a yelped ad lib to testify that they once existed. meek mill had a turbulent decade, but with “dreams and nightmares,” he notched 200 glorious, uninterrupted seconds onto hip hop’s wall. you cannot abridge the intro to his album of the same name; “dreams and nightmares” has to be taken in full or not at all. may the gods protect the dj who cut away from the weepy grand pianos before the beat change that switch up is the point, the gas pedal. this song’s so goddamn potent, it spawned a subgenre: from tee grizzley’s “first day out” to cardi b’s “get up 10,” the ensuing years were littered with tracks directly mimicking its lush intro/pummeling coda structure. none of them came close to matching meek mill’s blood curdling intensity.  jayson greene listen: meek mill, “dreams and nightmares (intro)” columbia “the wire” is the most locked in groove from haim’s debut album days are gone a record not exactly lacking in locked in grooves. the song has the group’s three sisters, who up to that point had spent a literal lifetime honing session chops while mastering a soft rock meets ’90s r&b sound infused with laurel canyon vibes, reaching maximum vocal synchronicity as they glide over hand clap melodies and airy lyrics about giving a bruised lover the brush off. they are technically the ones apologizing “you know i’m bad at communication, it’s the hardest thing for me to do” but anyone who sounds this unbothered while saying sorry clearly has the upper hand, and always will.  jeremy gordon listen: haim, “the wire” hinge finger blawan’s “why they hide their bodies under my garage?” just might be the most cheerfully mean spirited song of the decade an evil, glowering spirit that barrels ahead like a bull on a rampage. over a punishing drum groove of hammered anvils and sharpening knives, the uk producer flips a fugees sample into what sounds like a serial killer’s accidental confession. then, for extra horror core effect, he adds a blood curdling scream every few bars. it’s a song so ludicrous in its malevolence that even skrillex started playing it in his sets, bringing the techno underground together with edm’s fuzzy boots set by way of a good, old fashioned murder fantasy.  philip sherburne listen: blawan, “why they hide their bodies under my garage?” def jam in the middle of 2012, frank ocean was still the shadowy odd future affiliate who put out a charming mixtape of skewed r&b, or the guy who guested on jay z and kanye’s watch the throne and wrote a song with beyoncé. he was not yet an icon, and the world hadn’t really seen all that he could do. then came “pyramids,” and the ground beneath us shifted. the three part, 10 minute hyperspace cruise through time, styles, and cool eyed character observations offered monumental proof that he was capable of miracles. egyptian pharaohs, las vegas sex workers, uncredited john mayer guitar solos somehow, he made all of it sound like it belonged. most impressively, the result was light and catchy enough not to collapse under the weight of ocean’s vast ambition.  marc hogan listen: frank ocean, “pyramids” polyvinyl “younger us” is a self fulfilling rock’n’roll prophecy. when japandroids frontman brian king graduated college, he watched his friends from small town british columbia, canada quickly settle into normalcy weddings, mortgages, babies and thought, well, fuck that. so he started a band with drummer dave prowse and dreamed up a song about teenage abandon, blooming lust, and jumping out of bed to grab a beer with your best friend. “younger us” was written during the sessions for japandroids’ breakthrough album, 2009’s post nothing, when the duo were essentially making music for themselves. so its manic nostalgia, driven by king’s gushing distortion and prowse’s incessant cymbal crashes, looks backward and forward at the same time: the song doesn’t lament lost youth so much as it’s hellbent on recapturing it. by the time “younger us” was released in 2010, japandroids were drinking through sunrises en route to the next sold out gig, far from home.  ryan dombal listen: japandroids, “younger us” cash money in 2014, cash money records co founder birdman, one of the keenest a&r men in rap history, brought together two buzzing atlanta artists infectious eccentric young thug and malleable crooner rich homie quan for a feel good jam of perfect synergy. on “lifestyle,” their auto tuned warbles sounded as lush as the manners of living they envisioned in song: thug bursting at the seams, puffing on clouds from the top of a mountain, quan reclining with commas in every bank. it marked thug and quan’s biggest hit to date, and the trio would birth an exceptional mixtape together, rich gang: tha tour pt. 1. but the alliance that had seemed to foreshadow many more seasons of cash money primacy instead dissolved rather quickly, and all three artists have feuded with each other on and off ever since. “lifestyle” remains a snapshot of what could have been, a look inside a dynasty before it was irreparably broken.  sheldon pearce listen: rich gang, “lifestyle” merge the opening track on destroyer’s kaputt unfurls like a waking dream. everything in it feels simultaneously vivid and unreal; the blurry saxophone seems to beckon from beyond the song itself, while dan bejar’s vocals sound plucked from a metaphysical overheard conversation: “you can’t believe/the way the wind’s talking to the sea,” he marvels. you might not know what he means, exactly, but those windswept waves are indelible once he’s pointed them out to you. “i can’t walk away,” he repeats, sounding more obsessed than trapped. whatever “chinatown” means to bejar’s narrator, it’s somewhere deliciously inescapable a state of mind forever disappearing over the horizon.  madison bloom listen: destroyer, “chinatown” asylum/atlantic charli xcx is sonic science fiction. delightfully robotic and whimsically spacy, she got the best grasp of where she was going, and could go, on 2017’s pop 2 mixtape. tucked at the end is “track 10,” which, after a production swap and a lizzo feature, became her blaring 2019 single “blame it on your love.” but in its relatively spare original form, the song relies not on bass drops but rather a heavily accumulating chorus that loops and loops, burrowing its way deeper into the mind and limbs with each rotation. at her best, which she is here, charli xcx cracks a key pop music code: doing as much with as little language as possible. the chorus of “track 10” consumes and consumes, until it ends, and the listener can’t remember living in a world before they heard it.  hanif abdurraqib listen: charli xcx, “track 10” fade to mind released six years ago, kelela’s “bank head” is a proof of concept that’s still recouping. today, an r&b vocalist pairing with electronic producers is a familiar idea; during the more wide eyed summer of 2013, though, kelela and kingdom’s mp3 demos sounded like a future the club kids and r&b purists had both intuited, where the black queer underground got its just due as cultural alchemists. kelela was an easy sell as an underground icon: her vocals flexed with all the acrobatic skill her generation had learned from janet, brandy, and mariah, while her style whet the palates of the ultramodern opening ceremony devotees who run the fashion world. the beats did the rest: the handclaps that drive the track forward are a call to action for hips and tongues across genres, from miami bass to baile funk to house, drenched in a synth bed that sounds like a sunrise let out from a bed stuy afterhours club. “time goes by really slow,” kelela sings here, but it feels like it was just yesterday when she was sketching out the sounds of tomorrow.  matthew trammell listen: kelela, “bank head” 4ad unlike most of deerhunter’s catalog, “desire lines” has little to do with frontman bradford cox. sung instead by guitarist lockett pundt, the highlight of their fifth album, halcyon digest, found deerhunter at their nocturnal best: two screeching guitar riffs hurtle around each other for a few frenzied minutes and collapse, while the band hammers at the tune over and over again, just to check that it’s dead. you’d be forgiven for thinking you were listening to arcade fire at first “desire lines” opens with the same anguished chug as 2004’s “rebellion (lies)” though deerhunter wield a sharper edge, paring down the tune’s raw materials into a darker and more elegant shape.  jo livingstone listen: deerhunter, “desire lines” columbia 2019 rap enjoys subverting gender norms at both ends. at one are pipsqueak pitched brats racing to see who can sound the most infantile and coy while spouting hyper masculine, r rated lyrics; it’s easy to picture that looney tunes cigar smoking baby when listening to the latest verses from playboi carti or lil uzi vert. on the other end are pencil sharp female rappers dragging the genre to new edges from behind cat eye makeup. they aren't concerned with celebrating femininity, or anything else for that matter they simply grab for your throat, no matter how you identify. one could argue that a touchstone for both styles was dej loaf’s “try me,” the shimmering street anthem that took 2014 by storm from a detroit front porch. with her unisex wardrobe, buttersoft voice, and vows to turn her enemies into pasta, she carved out space for female rappers to be sour and sweet while giving dudes some lessons in melody: a boogie wit da hoodie, for one, must know he owes his radio ready flow to dej loaf’s pioneering style.  matthew trammell listen: dej loaf, “try me” domino by the time cass mccombs released this pillow soft meditation on the ache of loneliness, he’d already established himself as a slippery figure in american folk rock, with a penchant for cryptic, out of time songs. casting his feathery falsetto front and center, “county line” is the rare mccombs track that sees him fully resisting the urge to obfuscate his best melodic instincts in bizarre chord changes and jarring industrial sounds, opting for a comforting backdrop of ambrosial organ, wispy drums, and twangy guitar licks. its power resides in the way it offsets all that beauty with the wretched, delicious pain of its subject matter, elevating a highway marker into a metaphor for the invisible boundaries we cross and recoil from as we move in and out of each other’s lives. and yet, with mccombs, even a lyric as naked as “you never even tried to love me” is never straightforward to understand why, just look at the “county line” music video, which features footage of a line of cars awaiting passage at the u.s. mexico border.  emilie friedlander listen: cass mccombs, “county line” domino it’s a cliche for an artist to say that their music is their therapy, but dev hynes really does share things in his music that most of us would only say inside patient doctor confidentiality. “you’re not good enough,” from his breakthrough as blood orange, cupid deluxe, is not a pleasant thing to say, to sing, or to even think while breaking up with someone but why, if its so cruel, does it sound so good? perhaps it’s hynes’ prince lite funk orchestration and the delicate vocal interplay between him and his then girlfriend, samantha urbani; perhaps it’s how we’ve all thought something similar at some point about someone who disappoints us. but even more so, it’s probably the sheer wonder of enjoying an artist who’s so open that even his darkest ideas become ours. that’s who hynes has been to a generation: the sensitive, vulnerable, sometimes sour poet of emotional contradictions, the singer of our thoughts, both clean and otherwise.  alex frank listen: blood orange, “you’re not good enough” polydor/interscope on “the greatest,” lana del rey’s world is aflame. carefree nights have been poisoned by the constant threat of nuclear warfare; her beloved malibu is ravaged by monstrous wildfires; nothing feels like it used to, and holding onto hope no longer seems plausible. “the culture is lit, and if this is it, i had a ball/i guess that i’m burned out after all,” she concludes over a noir swell of strings and keys. despite its tongue in cheek fatalism, “the greatest” doesn’t submit to nihilism; it feels like the logical apex of del rey’s ever present nostalgia. surfing on a languid ’70s guitar wave, her blasé murmur wraps each turbulent image in a gauze of comforting warmth. the end of the world has never felt so assured.  quinn moreland listen: lana del rey, “the greatest” def jam is there a contemporary r&b singer more selfless than jeremih? between his sporadic solo projects, the chicago serenader has doubled as one of the industry’s most overqualified session musicians, lending his silken falsetto to tracks from dozens of rap and r&b’s biggest names and plenty of smaller ones, too, often without so much as a feature credit in return. when you've been gifted with a voice like this, it’d be cruel not to spread it around. after his 2009 breakout “birthday sex,” most of jeremih's singles saddled him with rap features that rarely added much, but “oui” was a reminder of how transcendent he could sound when given the chance to carry a track on his own. for four heavenly minutes, the song suspends gravity, accompanying jeremih with production as weightless as his voice: plinking pianos, gentle swooshes, and helium infused trap drums that float toward blue sky like a bouquet of heart shaped balloons. jeremih isn’t just singing about bliss. he’s creating it.  evan rytlewski listen: jeremih, “oui” g.o.o.d./def jam given the kaleidoscope of egomania and petty grievances that make up kanye west’s world, the most immediately surprising thing about “ultralight beam” is that he barely appears on it. yes, he’s there, hobbled by auto tune, a pilgrim in rags ascending the mountain. but the life of pablo opener is a group effort: an imperiled kelly price, an ecstatic chance the rapper, a reverential kirk franklin, a gale force choir. see? west seems to say. i know when to shut up. as uplifting as the song’s message is, the music here is pretty leaden: the trudging drums, the vast silences, the choir struggling against the inertia of it all. but that’s the song’s power: instead of capturing triumph or even reprieve, it fixates morbidly on burden. and yet kanye is there, his friends are there, he fucks up and asks forgiveness, the seasons turn. if west continues to seem sympathetic, it’s in part because no matter how much he achieves, he still manages to make himself look like he’s climbing steadily, painfully, an avatar for the possibility that one can be both weak enough to buckle and strong enough to go on. as for whether or not he deserves the redemption he’s asking for, well, if you really believe in god, you know that even assholes deserve to stand in his light.  mike powell listen: kanye west, “ultralight beam” 4ad the national are very good at making buttoned up music about weariness and despair, and the time they’ve spent perfecting such downcast moodiness makes their explosive moments hit that much harder. “bloodbuzz ohio,” from their 2010 album high violet, is one of their finest anthems, a slow building roar that gathers momentum with every measure. bryan devendorf’s drums, halfway between a backbeat and a fill, give the song its relentless forward motion, and his rhythm seems to shove each additional instrument into place and send it on its way by sheer force of will. singer matt berninger offers typically cryptic lines about “owing money to the money” and being carried to ohio by a swarm of bees, but the true meaning of his words comes from the way he sings them resigned, a little bewildered, somehow still hopeful in spite of it all.  mark richardson listen: the national, “bloodbuzz ohio” pampa impervious to trends, dj koze’s specialty is creating warmly funky tracks coated with light psychedelic mist, tracks that braid together yearning, hope, and sadness into a fundamentally human ache. “pick up,” a towering highlight from his 2018 album knock knock, condenses his fundamental koze ness into six and a half minutes of shimmering disco bliss. that the song is built around a vocal sample from a gladys knight & the pips ballad is perfect, reminding us that koze is as much a listener as he is a creator. we hear what he heard in knight’s voice, and then we follow him as he takes that feeling someplace all his own.  mark richardson listen: dj koze, “pick up” mad decent/owsla what a difference a perfect pop song can make. in the couple of years before justin bieber’s “where are ü now,” produced by skrillex and diplo under their jack ü moniker, the baby faced star was in the middle of an awkward transition from tween pop hairball to tattoo covered fuckboi, his countless transgressions splashed across tmz on what seemed to be an hourly basis. when he wasn’t pissing in a mop bucket in the kitchen of a restaurant, he was throwing eggs at his neighbor’s house, or visiting the anne frank house only to write how he hoped the tragic holocaust victim “would have been a belieber” in the guestbook. for a moment, he was the most hated man child on earth. then came this song, and everything changed. it started off as an affectingly whiny bieber demo before the vocals were sent to diplo and skrillex, who tweaked and distorted and pitch shifted them to match their future pop dreams. “where are ü now” was released in 2015, when edm’s trademark drops had all but lost their adrenaline spiking effectiveness. sensing this shift, the one time drop mongers inverted their own style here: instead of concocting a hands in the air buildup to a blaring hook, diplo and skrillex sucked out all of the track’s air at its peak, like an astronaut suddenly floating in space. the result was discombobulating to the point of deliriousness a reimagining of what justin bieber could be, and what a top 10 hit could sound like.  ryan dombal listen: jack ü, “where are ü now” [ft. justin bieber] matador over his first two albums, mike hadreas’ hollowed out music as perfume genius relied on waterlogged recordings and funereal vocals befitting pitch black subject matter: desperation, addiction, abuse. but with “queen,” he cleared away the reverb to deliver his most assertive beam of clarity yet. he used the showy elements of glam rock to swan triumphantly against gay panic: “no family is safe when i sashay,” he cried over a crash of cymbals and guttural vocals, ushering in a brash sound for perfume genius that went hand in hand with a newly unambiguous lyrical approach. a full year before the supreme court legalized gay marriage across the u.s., hadreas was locking horns with those who clutched their pearls at the faintest whiff of homosexuality the same kind of bigoted personalities that now populate some of america’s highest offices. let “queen” be the rallying cry against them, ad infinitum.  eric torres listen: perfume genius, “queen” xl “yonkers” is like an indoctrination before you know it, tyler, the creator has swept you up in his breakneck realm. and as tyler’s first release on a proper label, the song served as the catalyst for the odd future movement, bringing the l.a. kids off the internet and onto jimmy fallon’s back. it begins abruptly with its sickly, skittish beat that sticks like a broken delete key. just as swiftly, the rapper starts dropping names of then mysterious figures anwar, jasper, syd as he inverts rap cliches into menacing quips. there’s nowhere to sit, nowhere to hide. you just want to follow this guy wherever he goes, even when he eats a cockroach in the video.  matthew strauss listen: tyler, the creator, “yonkers” columbia/xl be sure to stretch before putting on 21: it’s still a marathon of human misery. adele didn’t just languish in the agony of sudden heartbreak on her second album, she found the glory in surviving it of turning her scratchy soul belt into a conduit for bewilderment and betrayal. after fixating, fantasizing, and hypothesizing her way through the record, adele showed just how far she had come with its closing track, “someone like you.” the ballad is an atom bomb of yearning, but it’s not permitted to freewheel into self pity. singing with hoarse gravity, adele holds every note like a steely challenge to move forward even as she looks back, rarely flickering into melisma as the piano arpeggios churn below. listen to “someone like you” in the depths of despair, and it’s a lifeline; listen to it from the other side, and it’s a medal for a battle well fought.  stacey anderson listen: adele, “someone like you” sub pop/bella union beach house singer victoria legrand listened to her bandmate alex scally’s instrumental demo, with its pendulum riffs and dramatic crash cymbals, and thought of zebras. “it was what i was seeing,” she told kexp recently, “patterns crossing.” so she wrote a song about that striped animal running among horses, simultaneously distinguished and camouflaged by its markings. it became the lead off track to beach house’s third album, teen dream, and a pivotal moment for the duo. on its surface, “zebra” sounds like a song about deception perhaps a prelude to the breakup album that follows. but it also gets at something much deeper: “patterns crossing” may be the most apt description of the beach house sound, which thrives on the contrast between textures and feelings, between scally’s stoic guitar and legrand’s soulful vocals. “zebra” expresses something about how they create together, how they use their stripes to capture ineffable feelings, and how they’ve managed to remain so mysterious for so long.  stephen deusner listen: beach house, “zebra” merge/city slang “can’t do without you” initially scans as a relatively straightforward love song. in it, caribou’s dan snaith and a sampled marvin gaye sing the titular phrase over a simmering nü disco beat that swells into a euphoric banger. but any sweetness inherent to those few words eventually gets smothered by the claustrophobic nature of how they’re delivered: it’s about love, for sure, but it also starts to sting as a reflection on obsession and codependency. so by the end of the track, it’s hard to shake the feeling that you’re basking in the rapturous glow of a relationship that’s become dysfunctionally intertwined.  evan minsker listen: caribou, “can’t do without you” young turks a lot has been made of the sexually explicit lyrical content of “two weeks” (such as: “my thighs are apart for when you’re ready to breathe in”), but less has been said about how much of an orgasm the song is musically. there are all these elongated sounds slowly arching snares, spilt treacle synths, vocals that stretch into the horizon that act as lines of tension, gently bracing themselves for the inevitable. there’s even what appears to be a cracked whip just after the one minute mark. when the drop finally comes (again and again), it carries twigs’ voice off into the abyss. while there’s plenty to savor in the artist’s clit sure lyricism, what makes her tale of desire and release a keeper is how its sound embodies the rise and fall of our protagonist’s thirst for her would be lover; a death and a rebirth, swallowing one another whole.  ruth saxelby listen: fka twigs, “two weeks” mca nashville by picking up on narrative threads of past country rebels, from loretta lynn’s sexual frankness to willie nelson’s penchant for mind expanding flora, kacey musgraves’ lyrics have been defiant and open minded, even when her music has sounded more traditional. but on golden hour, her third album, it’s the arrangements that catch your attention. its opening track, “slow burn,” begins by evoking sunny laurel canyon soft rock as much as it does country, with a serene melody and gently strummed acoustic guitar. but midway, after the introduction of a drumbeat and bassline, it takes on shades of trip hop, as though filtering patsy cline through a portishead prism. “slow burn” is not so much a genre crossover as an open ended journey, like the acid trip in the desert that inspired musgraves to write the song. rather than leaving country behind, the songwriter has chosen to explore the limits of its territory, and to expand them.  shuja haider listen: kacey musgraves, “slow burn” house anxiety it’s still a bit shocking to hear that voice coming from that body in the diy video for “out getting ribs,” archy marshall’s breakout song. he was just 15 years old when he posted the clip, but his weathered warble suggested someone several decades older as do the lyrics, which had marshall pulling from his adolescence while also transcending the simple angst typical of such an age. he touched up “out getting ribs” for his 2013 debut album as king krule, 6 feet beneath the moon, taking out some reverb and cleaning up the guitar and bass. but the original version, rough and raw and bracing, stands up best.  matthew strauss listen: king krule, “out getting ribs” cash money/young money/republic in 2013, we were introduced to tough drake. nothing was the same was his coming out party, and “worst behavior” was his anthem. if young drake strained awkwardly to make his points, tough drake romanticized his misbehavior with ease, burning time just yelling “remember?! motherfucker?!” years before he became the world’s most streamed act, “worst behavior” was drake’s chest beating play for pop’s center, even with its gloriously rattled, oblong beat (which producer dj dahi once called “literally, like, a mistake”). drake was 26 then, and tough drake felt like a costume he’d eventually take off. but it wasn’t a phase. six years later, drake still isn’t in a forgiving mood. he still hasn’t settled down, and maybe he never will. (he’s not the only one who thinks permanently coupling up might actually make you lonelier.) when you have everything, do you stay on your worst behavior forever?  naomi zeichner listen: drake, “worst behavior” dead oceans the lyrics to “motion sickness,” a highlight from phoebe bridgers’ slow burning debut stranger in the alps, eulogize a toxic relationship. “i hate you for what you did/and i miss you like a little kid,” she sings softly over layers of echoing guitars and an insistent rhythm. in the climax, she offers a particularly damning line “you were in a band when i was born” and holds out the last syllable like a primal howl. it’s a lyric that now feels inextricable from a new york times article from earlier this year in which bridgers and other musicians alleged abuse at the hands of ryan adams. but for all its first person directness and lingering questions, “motion sickness” is the beginning of a story, not an ending: its steady rise of adrenaline sounds like a vow to keep moving.  sam sodomsky listen: phoebe bridgers, “motion sickness” epic new york needed something fresh. it was 2014 and the city was less than a year removed from famed compton, california native kendrick lamar claiming he was the “king of new york” on record. then, in march, bobby shmurda released the music video for “hot nigga” on youtube. it began as a new york street rap hit; the city fell in love with bobby’s brooklyn cockiness and the song’s booming jahlil beats production. the hook could be heard playing out of cars across all five boroughs, while the rapper’s “shmoney dance” found its way into schools and, eventually, vine. looking back, it’s unreal that “hot nigga” was ever more than a local phenomenon, especially since the nypd cut bobby’s career short before he got a chance to benefit from his success. but for a moment, his energy and personality brought new york hip hop back into the spotlight.  alphonse pierre listen: bobby shmurda, “hot nigga” island def jam hopelessness is not a common thing to find in a pop song. sadness? sure. heartbreak? of course. but the word “hopeless” implies a sense of disrepair that’s hard to face directly, let alone dance to. yet somehow, it took less than a minute for rihanna and calvin harris to lodge the idea into the radio’s vocabulary with their glittering collaboration “we found love.” while her words gesture toward the world’s darkest corners, the warmly insistent, lite house thump suggests starry skies, packed dancefloors, human touch. like a lot of things concerning rihanna, “we found love” inserted itself into popular culture with idiomatic ease, and the generational gravity of its message only adds to its appeal. lately, rihanna has used her platform to speak out for a number of prominent causes: for reproductive rights, for colin kaepernick, against the president. she’s at that point in her career where every move she makes suggests a feeling of invincibility: just because she found what she’s looking for doesn’t mean she’s done searching.  sam sodomsky listen: rihanna, “we found love” [ft. calvin harris] soutterain transmissions “california,” the droning centerpiece of erika m. anderson’s first album as ema, is a gospel song at heart an invitation to surrender in the face of impossible odds, to lay down one’s burden at the feet of a force more powerful than the self. beatless, ceaseless, the track sounds more like weather than music, a storm from which anderson can’t quite find refuge. the catharsis of “california” isn’t so much that the storm passes but that she surrenders to it, and in doing so, gives herself a shot at starting over. as the song reaches its peak, anderson quotes “camptown races,” an old minstrel tune about playing the horses: “i bet my money on the bob tailed nag/somebody bet on the bay.” historically, it was presented as comedy, the story of an enterprising young guy getting ready to try his luck. then there’s anderson, 150 years later, detoxing from manifest destiny at the edge of america with nothing to show for it but the knowledge of what it means to have failed.  mike powell listen: ema, “california” freebandz the bulk of “march madness” found future detailing his lavish lifestyle. especially at the time, this rang very true. the atlanta rapper had an enormous year in 2015, with the release of his drake collaboration what a time to be alive along with one of his best albums, dirty sprite 2. he’d reached hip hop’s a list, and “march madness” offered a view from the top. yes, it’s a song about getting fucked up and driving too fast in an expensive car, but it’s also a song where future reveals that he’s not insulated from the outside world. “all these cops shootin’ niggas, tragic,” he sang, months after the deaths of michael brown and laquan mcdonald. over ethereal synth arpeggios, digital bells, and 808s, future’s vocal acrobatics amplify the tension that plays out in his lyrics the highs of luxury butting against the violence that’s brought upon the unarmed and unprotected.  evan minsker listen: future, “march madness” columbia “i’m not a pop star,” bowie insists in this mercurial, nearly 10 minute amble of woodwind jazz bleats, group moans, and tinny vocal shearing. having reinvented himself so many times, his last musical effort was to bid farewell with that same grace and eternal curiosity. the title track of blackstar, his 25th album, set this tone immediately; its surreal lines about nonchalant executions and bright, heavenly bodies beautiful in their doomed infernos are sung with comforting humanity, an empathy that overpowers the song’s proggy grandeur. its skittish, multi act structure and glacial sax tones resist easy resolution; the most catharsis we are offered comes in the poetically macabre music video, in which the lonely corpse of major tom is exhumed and, with him, all bowie’s spectacular former guises are laid to rest. then all that remains is the man, staring straight into the unfathomable and having the wisdom to offer no answers.  stacey anderson listen: david bowie, “★” rca in 2012, r&b was in the midst of an identity crisis. even the genre’s brightest talents found themselves shut out of top 40 radio, and the few that managed to infiltrate its playlists did so by surrendering to the overblown edm of the moment. but on his inventive run of early ’10s singles, miguel posited another way forward. “adorn” was one of the year’s few crossover r&b hits that still felt like r&b. it was also a wild studio experiment: an ’80s marvin gaye/lionel richie homage that sounded like it was recorded in a racquetball court. all throbbing synths and bubbling bass, “adorn” freed miguel to roam the song’s alien terrain, exploring how his desirous falsetto bounces off its oblique angles. he cartwheeled through the track, singing in swooning howls, and in the process coining an inimitable sound that bottled the sensation of ecstatic liberation: whawp!  evan rytlewski listen: miguel, “adorn” big machine “all too well,” the hidden gem of taylor swift’s red, captures everything that makes her a world class songwriter: her emotional intelligence, her candor, her economy of words, her ability to find beauty in vulnerability. swift tells a big story by freezing time and honing in on small details, the kind that could seem like background noise to others: the scarf that her ex (reportedly, jake gyllenhaal) kept as a memento, the refrigerator light that illuminated midnight dance parties. all these hyper specifics, rigorously chronicled, protect swift’s pain so she can tend to it; when she sings, “it was rare/i was there,” she asserts her own experience against those who would trivialize it. as the song builds, its initially mild mannered guitar gains energy, cymbals begin to crash, and swift’s voice steadily rises. but she doesn’t really need volume to convey the magnitude of the damage. it’s the quietest moments that serve this story best they make you lean in close enough to see every tiny fissure in her broken heart.  olivia horn listen: taylor swift, “all too well” def jam if you were to compile a map of the united states as told by rappers, no locale would be rendered as crisply as vince staples’ long beach. on the norf side, yankee hats are in style, snitches are hunted to extinction, and the shotgun that offed boyz n the hood’s ricky baker remains at large. as staples slides from parties to shootouts, danger is courted and eluded. death is defied and embraced. gangster rap is disparaged; gangsters endure. though every detail is in 4k, the screen flickers. obama’s promises of hope and change remain unfulfilled; vince’s family sticks around, yet so do his gun toting rivals. embodying that relentless tension, clams casino’s production is a twitchy fusillade. the bass quakes and smolders; the synths blare and pulse; the claps tingle. proud of his home, staples is at ease within this discord, but he doesn’t shy away from its costs. because he sees his city so clearly, he has no illusions: no one can run forever.  stephen kearse listen: vince staples, “norf norf” parlophone/emi the title character of “laura” is a dreamer in crisis, a partied out socialite left behind by the crowds. only natasha khan remains by her side, and in her sweetest and deadliest ballad, she dedicates every ounce of her formidable self herself to propping up her lost friend. we all yearn for someone like khan to swoop in and declaim our innate superheroism to the world, and “laura” isn’t just a tribute; it’s a devotional, a monument. “you’ll be famous for longer than them/your name is tattooed on every boy’s skin,” khan wails. laura may have been overlooked but, within the aura of khan’s belief, we know her glory.  jazz monroe listen: bat for lashes, “laura” pmr with “latch,” disclosure managed to land a rare one two punch: not only did the uk duo become dance music heavies in their own right, they practically minted an entirely new pop star to boot. as the song slowly made its way toward ubiquity, eventually peaking at no. 7 in america two years after its initial release, it wooed an edm audience that was tiring of 12 ton drops and dudes screaming at crowds to put their hands in the air. as a refreshing alternative, guy and howard lawrence created a track bound to an indestructible house beat and filled with the types of chord extensions more commonly found in jazz (or steely dan albums) than standard chart fare, allowing for sam smith to unleash their jaw dropping vocals. today, the song remains a testament to a brave new world of democratized production, one where two brothers, a laptop, and an unknown superstar can move the world.  noah yoo listen: disclosure, “latch” [ft. sam smith] terrible “losing you” was the conclusion of a love story, but it was also the beginning of a new solange. the song was released between two pivotal projects: four years after her album sol angel and the hadley street dreams, an almost quaint love letter to motown, and four years before her culture shifting political purge, a seat at the table. produced and co written with blood orange’s dev hynes, both “losing you” and its parent ep, true, turned solange into an indie r&b darling with a clear vision that was destined to be refined. as breakup ballads go, this one’s deceptively cheerful. disoriented by the end of something irreconcilable, she sees her relationship devolve from all night makeout sessions to total static. the melody lags, at odds with the backdrop’s retro claps and squeals, but perhaps it’s a sign that the loss is actually a gain.  clover hope listen: solange, “losing you” run for cover since the dawn of time, women have been fed up with the patronizing antics of men in music. and with “the opener,” melbourne based punk trio camp cope use the misogynistic injustices they have faced over the years as creative jet fuel as they crush industry bros who use feminism for their own self image, bookers convinced that the band can’t sell out a room, and bored stoner dudes who treat women like meat sacks. over georgia maq’s nervy alto, a driving bassline, and grunge of center percussion, the band presents a withering critique that does not hold back even a little. near the end of the song, when maq yelps, “now look how far we’ve come not listening to you!” she cements camp cope’s place as a no bullshit punk band that will be emblazoned on denim jacket patches in perpetuity.  sophie kemp listen: camp cope, “the opener” aftermath/interscope/top dawg in 2012, newfound fame was weighing on kendrick lamar. he was surrounded by people he didn’t know, while adapting to life as the new voice of compton. on “bitch, don’t kill my vibe,” he took a break from the reflective coming of age story he narrated throughout good kid, m.a.a.d city to address keeping his musical virtues intact amid so much change. “i’m tryin’ to keep it alive/and not compromise the feeling we love,” he rapped. but he also acknowledged, in the song’s lingering opening line, “i am a sinner who’s probably gonna sin again.” despite the heavy content, the sounwave produced track sounds like a jazzy backseat ride through cali, with kendrick’s vocals cycling through nasal voiced singing, smooth talk flows, and rapid fire sprints. he delivered the message that compton and everyone else could put their faith in him. he hasn’t let us down yet.  alphonse pierre listen: kendrick lamar, “bitch, don’t kill my vibe” merge “sprawl ii (mountains beyond mountains)” served as the climax of 2010’s the suburbs as well as of everything arcade fire had done up to that point. it’s about a very particular archetype: the artsy misfit, the daydreamer trapped in a place that stifles creativity and smothers dreams. the character fits into the band’s past, with its dark anthems about kid level conspiracies brothers bitten by vampires, secret cities where no cars go but this song adds a new urgency. régine chassagne sings her exurban angst with big hearted wonder, adding nobility to the tired concept of escaping the concrete jungle for more bucolic landscapes, as the rest of the group’s pearly dance pop avoids any note of bitterness or pessimism. listening to “sprawl ii,” it feels clear that the song’s heroine got out of whatever grey hell she was in, and found her kind.  stephen deusner listen: arcade fire, “sprawl ii (mountains beyond mountains)” vp everyone wants a song of the summer, but few people realize the song that defines a summer doesn’t necessarily arrive as the season is fully blossoming. there are tracks like “hold yuh” that poke their heads stateside in the spring, before getting played in clubs or on the radio until the melody affixes itself to a moment, then an entire season and maybe even a whole half decade worth of seasons. gyptian had been flourishing on the jamaican dancehall charts for over five years with songs like “serious times” before “hold yuh” became a crossover success. it is almost unfair how irresistibly danceable this song is, how it articulates a desire for closeness while laid over the kind of sparse but infectious beat that practically demands bodies shifting together.  hanif abdurraqib listen: gyptian, “hold yuh” republic navigating romance publicly comes with being a public figure which can be good when it is good, and agonizing when it is agonizing. ariana grande has had to do this through several iterations of her career, in ways that have sometimes felt unfair. all this came to a head in the fall of 2018, when she was mourning both the death of her ex boyfriend mac miller and a broken off engagement to pete davidson. “thank u, next” was her response, the polished product of bouncing back from many heartbreaks. the song itself works against the somewhat dismissive sentiment of the title: the twinkling chorus is steeped in a kind of corny but joyful gratitude, for the past but also for the present self. crooning angelically, grande reminds the masses that we choose to love people for a reason, even if that love is brief. “thank u, next” might even be considered a little bit of a troll because of how it challenges the voyeurism of her situation: it would have been salacious to air an ex out for the world to see, but it is more fascinating to draw an eager audience close before offering what is merely a small token of gratitude.  hanif abdurraqib listen: ariana grande, “thank u, next” modular if you can’t understand a damn thing kevin parker sings during the bridge of “let it happen,” you’re not alone. the vocals are complete gibberish, placeholder words given emotional heft by his performance and vocoders time tested by ’80s icons and french robots alike. it doesn’t matter that he’s singing raw syllables, though, because you can feel the wistful acceptance in every note. it’s the most affecting part of this nearly eight minute long song, which opened 2015’s currents and introduced a new era of tame impala. no more trivial accusations of retrofetishism or john lennon idol worship; with this heavy slab of space disco, parker decidedly broke free of any preconceived notions about his abilities. the riff a simple, octave leaping groove stands alone, but the punchy drums and elaborate synth arrangements throughout cleared the stage for tame impala to claim their place as true psych rock originals.  noah yoo listen: tame impala, “let it happen” rabid/brille/mute there’s an alternate reality in which the knife never stopped sounding like the sunny electro pop band who inspired that one josé gonzález song at the turn of the century, thereby ending up in the third biggest font size on the electric daisy carnival poster and probably collaborating with marshmello once or twice. but in our actual reality, karin and olof dreijer got dark with their 2006 classic silent shout before making their grand return seven years later by inhaling radical theory and fully metamorphosing into their namesake something steely, cutting, dangerous when necessary. “full of fire,” the first single from 2013’s shaking the habitual, is a nasty patchwork of sawtooth synths, hissed vocals, and guttural drum patterns, perennially teetering on the brink of manic collapse. it primes you to leave it all on the dancefloor before waking up ready to throw a brick through the patriarchy.  jeremy gordon listen: the knife, “full of fire” interscope/konichiwa only robyn, the swedish teen pop phenom turned self directed superstar, could shimmy through a scenario as thorny as the one in “call your girlfriend.” in it, she plays a woman who’s been covertly seeing someone who’s already paired off with someone else. but her character shows no bitterness for the girlfriend in question. instead, she gently coaches her lover through breaking up with the other woman, urging him to spare her feelings. the klaxon call of the chorus makes “call your girlfriend” a dance pop triumph, one of many robyn songs to arc toward euphoric release. but the glittery production only deepens the sinister lyrical narrative: “now it’s gonna be me and you,” robyn concludes, having successfully manipulated her man into her arms. maybe she’s scheming, but it’s impossible not to celebrate along with her.  sasha geffen listen: robyn, “call your girlfriend” saddle creek “mary,” the emotional center of big thief’s breakthrough album capacity, takes the form of a late night reverie. band leader adrianne lenker’s voice is hushed and hesitant, as though she’s trying not to wake anyone as she sifts through a box full of private memories, their outlines turned silvery and strange with time. over a reassuring backdrop of organ and piano, her voice gathers strength as she is swept away in a flood of images, words so vivid you can feel them beating in your hand like small, frightened birds. it is a nostalgic song, shot through with a sense of loss, but it is ecstatic in its synesthetic rush, its sublime sense of everything coming on at once.  philip sherburne listen: big thief, “mary” republic lorde is a sneering romantic: she’ll dissect love like it’s a frog in biology class while still falling under its spell. that’s the mode in which she operates on “the louvre,” narrating a whirlwind summer romance that’s lighting her from within even as she’s rolling her eyes at the whole thing. as the song begins, she could be working out a sketch in her childhood bedroom, her voice just above a whisper and hung over rumbling, muted chords. an intensely physical connection settles into something deeper, and you can hear her fighting off love until her facade starts to crack. when she drops her guard to embrace love in all of its supernatural glory, it feels as bracing as a dip in a frozen lake. “the louvre” isn’t the most readily melodic or explosive song on her 2017 opus melodrama, but it’s the one that best conveys lorde’s preternatural skills. she can take a feeling everyone knows and transform it into something fresh, as if you’re experiencing it for the first time.  jamieson cox listen: lorde, “the louvre” top dawg/rca sza baited a new lovestruck generation by presenting herself as a work in progress, shamelessly hooked on rash decisions. “the weekend,” from her debut album ctrl, is an imagined agreement between partners, sung from the perspective of the other woman who isn’t fully in charge. while the girlfriend spends the mundane hours of the week with the man, sza’s character gets to absorb his stress, be in command, and “make him lose his mind” on the weekends. sza’s singing conveys all the euphoria and uncertainty of this arrangement: she presents desire as a transaction between multiple people, singing with the confidence of a person who loves to indulge but who realizes the idea of possession in relationships is slippery. the shades of acceptance, sadness, and hope in her voice, slung over a moody, slow drip tempo, give “the weekend” its sober dimension there’s a sense that performing the feel good service of satisfaction is a thankless act, and that she knows she wants more.  clover hope listen: sza, “the weekend” marathon artists the song that made courtney barnett an indie rock star involves a startlingly detailed narrative about the tension of literally being unable to breathe. in it, she sets out to garden, and after some small talk about vegetables with a neighbor, she pulls her first weed and quickly has an asthmatic episode. “avant gardener” is a languid song, and barnett’s delivery is deadpan, but her anxiety in every observation gives the whole thing a nail biting intensity. someone calls an ambulance, and her first thought is about how much this shit is going to cost. she gets a shot of adrenaline and instantly conjures uma thurman’s near death scene in pulp fiction. as she watches her day go off the rails, she always grounds the song in a seven word chorus that is as simple as it is profound: “i’m not that good at breathing in.”  evan minsker listen: courtney barnett, “avant gardener” self released on “nights,” the space bending centerpiece of blonde, frank ocean distorts and collapses all sense of time. it begins with him singing over sunny guitars about an ex lover, taking bitter swipes at their character. then, after about three minutes, the track starts to descend into a frenzy of distorted guitars, frantically circling through arpeggios like it’s bracing for a crash landing. as the track switches into a woozy trap beat, frank plunges back into the past. he tells how he first met his ex by flashing a series of small images that transports you back to the scene: his family’s old acura, going to the southern restaurant chain shoney’s, transferring colleges from new orleans to texas after hurricane katrina. throughout “nights,” frank establishes an ultra thin line between past and present, day and night, and nostalgia and regret, effortlessly dancing between each binary.  michelle kim listen: frank ocean, “nights” numbers before there was sophie the transgressive pop icon, there was sophie the divisive electronic music producer, and “bipp” was her calling card. like all the best future thinking pop music, “bipp” caused equal parts delight and bemusement when it was released in 2013, thanks to its combination of pitch shifted vocals, elastic synths, and nonchalant percussive hits that seemed to roll around like a raver on an endlessly pitching deck, nauseous but giddily excited. “bipp” skirted musical genres, from rave to r&b, uk garage to edm, in a way that frustrated purists and confused the hell out of commentators, straining at the leash of electronic music’s tightly patrolled genre borders. and yet the track proved to be sophie’s breakthrough, its envelope mangling, sugar rush energy paving the way for collaborations with everyone from madonna to vince staples a day glo warning shot that indicated just how wonderfully weird pop was going to get in the years that followed.  ben cardew listen: sophie, “bipp” g.o.o.d./island def jam “monster” packs enough objectively insane moments to fill an entire episode of scooby doo: kanye hiking up his high waters to quote napoleon dynamite, jay z moaning “looooooove” like a mummified heathcliff on the moors, rick ross using a chunk of his 10 second prologue of a verse to refer to himself as a “fat motherfucker.” yet the decade’s most opulent posse cut ends up far greater than the sum of its ridiculous parts. over yawning synths and brusque, almost industrial bass, these hip hop hellions offer a quick peek into the vulnerabilities of the super rich and famous while allowing us to ride the wave of their incomprehensibly lofty egos. of course, “monster” is remembered most for the burgeoning star it made inarguable: nicki minaj, still a month away from releasing her debut album, slaughtering everyone in her path with 32 bars of demented barbie bde. consider our brains eaten.  stacey anderson listen: kanye west, “monster” [ft. justin vernon, rick ross, jay z, and nicki minaj] xl though jai paul’s first single wears its influences on its sleeve the wonky rhythms of j dilla, the menacing sweetness of prince and though it would go on to influence the borderless sound of pop in years to come, “btstu (edit)” still sounds like nothing else. at first, the falsetto murmur of “don’t fuck with me” that runs through the track is disorienting. by the time it’s been buried under woozy synth combustion, it’s clear that the disorientation is the point. “btstu” works because it sounds like the biggest piece of bedroom pop ever, because it is club music designed to be heard by one person at a time.  sam hockley smith listen: jai paul, “btstu (edit)” interscope the proposal is simple and familiar: escape, hand in hand, from reality. still, carly rae jepsen sells it with invigorating conviction on “run away with me.” she’s high on romantic possibility, and her infatuation feels so unstoppable that the only logical solution is to let it carry her away completely. fueled by a yearning saxophone riff and colossal drums, jepsen gleefully repeats her heartfelt invitation until the rest of the world melts away. “over the weekend, we could turn the world to gold,” she murmurs with a quiet devotion, letting the image of two gilded lovers linger in the air.  quinn moreland listen: carly rae jepsen, “run away with me” ear drummer calling yourself a rock star became a rap norm this decade it simultaneously affirmed hip hop’s centrality in the culture, laid claim to an inheritance of artistic grandiosity, and turned decadence into an aspirational ideal. despite strong bids from kanye and future, despite post malone chanting it into numbing cliché, rae sremmurd own the idea for all time thanks to “black beatles.” propelled to no. 1 off the back of the “mannequin challenge” meme, it truly deserved the top spot for its unusual sound and magical, mystical mood. producer mike will made it’s loping beat and haunting synth conjure a feeling of floaty suspension that pairs perfectly with the song’s lyrics about stepping through the looking glass into a dreamworld of super fame. there’s something strangely pure hearted about the fey, sighing way swae lee murmurs lines like “quick release the cash, watch it fall slowly” as though rae sremmurd have somehow gone through the excess of lust and ego and now levitate serenely above it all. in a song crammed with great lines, slim jxmmi sees off lee and guest gucci mane with his kicker: “me and paul mccartney related!” the impudence is adorable, the hubris hilarious and yet, at its core, “black beatles” really is a psychedelic pearl as radiant as “rain.”  simon reynolds listen: rae sremmurd, “black beatles” [ft. gucci mane] 4ad years before their network television debut, future islands earned a reputation for playing raucous shows at small clubs. so when the baltimore band brought that same energy to play “seasons (waiting on you)” on the late show with david letterman, frontman samuel t. herring’s unabashedly earnest performance went viral. channeling the bravado of a broadway actor, herring sang to the studio audience as if it were his last chance. his gamble endeared the band to a new legion of fans and made “seasons” a hit. even without the visual, the song is still a triumph. it’s arena ready synth pop that mourns the end of a relationship, a dissolution as predictable as summer turning into winter. the muscular new wave beat softens under herring’s croon, his delivery shifting from rugged to wounded from one verse to the next. he sings of losing love as if it were an apocalyptic reckoning, and “seasons” is the resilient epic written in the aftermath.  gabriela tully claymore listen: future islands, “seasons (waiting on you)” virgin/parlophone/dfa james murphy has always seemed unusually aware of time’s passing. from lcd soundsystem’s very first single, the kids were coming up from behind. by “dance yrself clean,” the opener to 2010’s this is happening, murphy was staring at the clock like someone awaiting final judgment: “everybody’s getting younger,” he moaned. “it’s the end of an era, it’s true.” but this song doesn’t offer a way of beating back the advancing years, or of marking them; it’s a cleansing fire, momentarily releasing us from time’s grip. simmering in nervous funk before boiling over into thudding synth pop, “dance yrself clean” is a nine minute jam about marxism, divorce, and generalized misanthropy that could serve as the collective freak out moment at a wedding reception. it’s a stomping, screaming last call of sorts, an invitation to get it all out before the opportunity disappears.  marc hogan listen: lcd soundsystem, “dance yrself clean” epic after seven years away, fiona apple returned to a world that better understood her, and she did it with music that seemed to better understand itself, too. on her fourth album, the idler wheel..., fiona charged not just her lyrics but each raw, blistering note with her spirit of defiance, resilience, and fury. “every single night,” the opener, is a surreal lullaby about constantly fighting with your mind. fiona’s metaphysical lyrics trace the psychosomatic impact of mental struggle, charting the “butterflies in my brain” as they “percolate the mind,” “trickle down the spine,” “swarm the belly,” “swell into a blaze.” she has always been an artist aware of her body, but “every single night” feels like a step further. you can hear clenched teeth, whitened knuckles, and a throat about to be shred. it’s so breathtakingly, quintessentially fiona: romancing omnipresent internal frictions for three and a half minutes as a method of survival. “i just want to feel everything,” she trills, illuminating the truest theme of all her work: hard earned aliveness.  jenn pelly listen: fiona apple, “every single night” 4ad if you squint, ariel pink’s “round and round” starts to resemble beck’s “loser.” both were generational anthems that made no literal sense, made by inveterate l.a. weirdos who rode the line between sincerity and irony until it seemed to crumble. both reinvented what was considered “cool,” too. pink’s reference points were like no one else’s am radio, commercial jingles, steely dan. countless chillwave, vaporwave, and whatever else wave artists followed his lead, but few of them proved capable of the magnificent pop architecture of “round and round.” it may be inseparable from its moment, an odd interlude between the peak indie 2000s and a decade where indie and pop became unashamedly inseparable. but if there’s any coherent message behind “round and round,” it’s that pop songs, trends, and life itself are a constant cycle of death and renewal.  ian cohen listen: ariel pink’s haunted graffiti, “round and round” atlantic in early 2017, a few of cardi b’s songs had landed well enough to lock in bet awards nominations and a magazine cover, but she needed more music by summer to take full advantage of those looks. so she went to work and came back with a hit that made thoughtful use of its key elements: action movie intensity, a proven flow courtesy of florida rapper kodak black, and a bottomless array of bars that were easy to parrot and pre baked for captions. like meek mill’s famously instigating “dreams and nightmares (intro),” it got people going; djs loved it, and influencers did too. it was released in june with little initial promotion, while cardi showed up for culture’s early adopters, at queer parties and southern clubs. by july, it was in radio rotation. by august, all kinds of fans knew the words. and in september, it was a verified smash, unseating taylor swift at no. 1 on the hot 100, making cardi b the first woman solo rapper to hit that peak in 19 years. her victory was genuinely ground up and people driven. that it was possible or inevitable, and a precursor for more success to come still feels triumphant.  naomi zeichner listen: cardi b, “bodak yellow” drag city “good intentions paving co.” is the story of two journeys, one literal and one figurative. there’s a road trip to a concert through an unfamiliar countryside, under stars that shyly emerge in a pastel sky. then the drive exposes a second, inner tale, of a relationship paved with good intentions but now fraught with misgivings and anxieties. with her lover behind the wheel, newsom addresses some regrets that haunt the romance, namely her own confusion. “how i said to you, ‘honey just open your heart’/when i’ve got trouble even opening a honey jar,” she chirps apologetically. nodding to joni mitchell, newsom’s piano arrangement follows the idiosyncratic rhymes of her inner monologue, twisting and turning to the tenor of her puzzled soul. though she is at her most musically ambitious on this seven minute opus, the heart of “good intentions paving co.” is painfully simple: she just wants to be led away from her own indecision.  quinn moreland listen: joanna newsom, “good intentions paving co.” columbia if being in love has a sound, it’s the euphoric vocal run that opens beyoncé’s “countdown.” the song quickly gives way to steady snare drum taps and staccato horn bleats that match the singer’s heartbeat, as she and songwriter the dream carefully mix the best sounds across genres funk, reggae, dancehall, and r&b (that’s a boys ii men sample) into one stutter stepping, ecstatic, instant classic. the premise of “countdown” has beyoncé running down all the ways she loves her man, using a lot of clever wordplay that culminates in a tip your head back, shout it in the club chorus. at the time, she had been with her husband, jay z, for almost a decade; ever the old soul, she isn’t singing about new love, or one night stand love, or ephemeral love. this is an effusive ode to her broken in, ride or die, monogamous romance and a swaggy reminder of exactly what will happen to him if he ever messes around. “countdown” walked so lemonade could enter couples therapy and run.  allison p. davis listen: beyoncé, “countdown” self released in the decade since m.i.a. originally released “bad girls” on her vicki leekz mixtape, the cultural concept of “badass” women has evolved into a meaningless capitalist construct. now children are reading books about “rebel girls,” aka complex women from history smoothed down by cutesy illustrations and aspirational rhetoric. “bad girls” maintains the case for defiance through spikiness: maya arulpragasam’s rapping is a blunt and effectively indolent instrument; that clipped, middle eastern inspired synth commands attention like a siren igniting a neighborhood; the s.o.s. signal buried in producer danja’s beat needles incessantly about the global imperative for women to defy repressive norms (and/or fuck in cars until the windows steam up and the dashboard caves in). crucially, “bad girls” is no manifesto. m.i.a. reclaims rebelling without a cause from the white, male cult hero, her track’s stubborn swagger an incitement to fecklessness. proof of concept: the single version of “bad girls” came out five days before she flipped the bird at the super bowl, a powerfully petulant display that showed up america’s prudish hypocrisy and earned her years of legal strife. “my life, but i broke it,” indeed.  laura snapes listen: m.i.a., “bad girls” jagjaguwar “holocene” is the magical realism centerpiece of 2011’s bon iver, transforming ordinary life into a beautiful kingdom soaked in cosmic meaning. justin vernon’s inscrutable falsetto is your shepherd through the wilderness, soft and reaching for the sky. his sonic landscapes on “holocene” are composed of rolling drums, keyboards, and humming horns, grounded by one looping, acoustic guitar lick. it’s vast yet simple, and can feel almost too sentimental to be sincere. how can this guy be this seriously existential reflecting on magnificence and the hallways of his life when he hardly seems to be saying anything at all? “holocene” is about letting go, imagining the place where you gain clarity, and basking in the feeling.  matthew strauss listen: bon iver, “holocene” young turks in 2018, after three years without a major release, fka twigs shared a note on her absence: six fibroid tumors had grown in her uterus, causing massive swelling and excruciating pain. for a performer whose force lies in mastery of the self, the medical crisis posed an existential threat: where to go when the body becomes a site of conflict? “cellophane” and its surreal video begin inside the question and end somewhere beyond it, plunging the singer into a new phase of self invention even as the lyrics fret over romantic inadequacy. where earlier productions contrasted fragility with strength, “cellophane” is all transcendent vulnerability. beneath her vocal acrobatics, the lullaby piano warps and degrades without ever changing key, and its three and a half minutes occupy and stretch out the brief tremor we experience when something cherished threatens to break.  jazz monroe listen: fka twigs, “cellophane” olsen on “inspector norse,” todd terje nails his signature trick: a dancefloor classic that’s somehow both coy and preposterous. from the mothership landing intro to the laser gun synth pings, you know straight off he has something up his sleeve yet when he beckons towards the trapdoor, you can’t help but follow. i have what you want, the elastic bassline promises. but you need to come a little closer. to seal the false sense of security, the norwegian producer layers up familiar ingredients a kitschy snare, some fog machine sighs, a little synth calligraphy, all sounds one might hear in moderation at the ikea café. he preserves the air of cocktail bar elegance until the last moment, when a distant siren whooshes into the periphery. by then it’s too late. a coil of otherworldly tension, a sensational swing into ecstasy, and we’re plunged into todd’s magic box. some bliss out tunes adapt easily to your surroundings, scaling down to soundtrack housework or a morning commute. but listening to “inspector norse” on a minor occasion feels scandalous, like hanging a rembrandt in the bathroom. then again, that’d be another classic terje prank. smuggling mystery into the mundane on neon lit dancefloors, he shows us that nothing’s as plain as daylight would have us believe.  jazz monroe listen: todd terje, “inspector norse” sony “malamente” marked the arrival of one of the decade’s most remarkable and unexpected talents. even rosalía’s early fans could hardly have seen it coming: before “malamente,” the young catalan singer was known only for the stripped down flamenco of her debut album, los ángeles, a spine tingling affair of acoustic guitar and voice. “malamente” seemed to come from a different universe entirely. the song’s age old flamenco roots were audible in its fluttering handclaps and in rosalía’s vocal trills, but every other element the lurching beat, luminous keys, hiccupping ad libs, and samples of breaking glass was unmistakably contemporary. the song’s video filled out that hybrid vision by twisting spanish iconography old and new (catholic penitents, bullfighters, tattooed truckers) into a dizzying set of images. “malamente” jacked into a heretofore undiscovered matrix of possibilities, and a whole new world flashed into being.  philip sherburne listen: rosalía, “malamente (cap.1: augurio)” rough trade the horror of drone warfare is that it has no constraints. operated remotely, designed for stealth, and unburdened by national borders or human rights, drones can deliver war at any time, to any place. on “drone bomb me,” anohni channels all that dread and horrible potential by invoking drones as objects of affection. “blow me from the mountain/and into the sea,” she sings with sweet resignation. it’s a desperate, masochistic request; drones are gods, essentially, and her narrator has chosen to embrace their limitless power. what makes “drone bomb me” so potent is that this fatalism is not weakness. anohni’s voice is full and resonant even as she solicits a grisly death. hudson mohawke and oneohtrix point never’s production is defiantly colorful despite the grim backdrop: the synths swell and twinkle, the drum programming chitters and slaps. it’s jarring for such warmth and personality to be invoked in the context of the cold, mechanical nature of drone warfare, and that’s the point. lost within those body counts, mission logs, and intelligence reports are real people. for anohni, they may be beyond saving, but they can always be recognized.  stephen kearse listen: anohni, “drone bomb me” cash money/young money/republic in later years, tinkering with global sounds and codes, drake would cement himself as one of the decade’s preeminent pop maximalists. before that, though, there was aubrey graham at the horizon, hungry and eager to prove his prowess. in the fall of 2013, drake released nothing was the same, which found him at the summit of his powers. the album’s biggest single, “hold on, we’re going home,” may very well be the toronto rapper’s most timeless artifact. it’s raw seduction, a disco reminiscent ballad that borrows from marvin gaye’s “sexual healing.” in an interview from that year, drake said “hold on” was not the typical fare fans had come to expect, explaining that he wanted the song to be played at weddings and bar mitzvahs in the decades ahead. that sense of legacy is what you hear, cushioned by r&b duo majid jordan’s dim coos, and satin soft production from noah “40” shebib and nineteen85. “hold on” is not consumed with the moment, as drake songs routinely are, but with forever.  jason parham listen: drake, “hold on, we’re going home” [ft. majid jordan] mute with “midnight city,” a whole new generation of teenagers were handed a testament to the life affirming power of synthesizers. the track catapulted anthony gonzalez’s band m83 from beloved indie act to global festival stalwarts through a sublime mix of dream pop, new wave, and neon lit nostalgia. (there’s also an argument to be made that the pealing outro single handedly brought saxophones back from the brink.) by now, it’s clear that the song has transcended all of the ’80s tropes that serve as its backbone if anything, its filtered keyboards and massive, pitched up hook served as something of a blueprint for countless edm drops to come.  noah yoo listen: m83, “midnight city” xl in 1968, simon & garfunkel released “america,” a road trip song about love, ennui, and the search for a country’s soul. “hannah hunt,” a patient, folky standout from vampire weekend's third album, is built from the same musical and narrative bones, and feels like a worthy update of that boomer touchstone. but where simon & garfunkel ultimately grasped for unity amid the tumult of the ’60s “they’ve all come to look for america,” goes their full throated finale  vampire weekend’s ezra koenig, a weary millennial, focuses his faith. at the climax of “hannah hunt,” snares crack like fireworks, a stately piano enters, and his voice leaps from a croon to a cry as he pledges allegiance to just one person. “if i can’t trust you then damn it, hannah/there’s no future, there’s no answer,” he yelps. it's the most desperately human koenig has ever sounded, as he clings to the only thing he can still believe in.  ryan dombal listen: vampire weekend, “hannah hunt” g.o.o.d./island def jam in 2010, kanye west was just starting to lean into his heel turn. a year after rushing the vmas stage to defend beyoncé’s honor a stunt that still ripples across pop culture, or at least taylor swift’s psyche west released his great redemption, my beautiful dark twisted fantasy. its second single was a self aware, if not quite repentant, exploration of what it means to be a chronic dickhead. anchored by a cavernous beat and a 16 note piano line ready to soundtrack a movie about a haunted 18th century doll, “runaway” is an exquisite piece of music. but the song’s enduring legacy is in its hook: once west started toasting the douchebags and the assholes, he couldn’t stop. his unbridled, unapologetic id became the governing force of not only his increasingly dodgy career decisions but of the nation, too, so steadily we barely even noticed.  steve kandell listen: kanye west, “runaway” [ft. pusha t] young turks “gosh” opens jamie xx’s in colour on a brutal, post human note: a stripped down flurry of clattering percussion, a bassline like the emergency alert system on a spaceship about to self destruct. at the time, the producer said that his album’s copious samples pulled from old pirate radio snippets, documentaries on early uk garage, and, in the case of “gosh,” a never aired pilot for the bbc radio 1 show one in the jungle were all from sources that reminded him of london when he got homesick touring for months at a time. jamie, like many of his listeners, was barely walking in that era, much less raving. but this isn’t merely borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered ’90s; it’s active and interpretive and alive. “gosh” feels like the transmission of a memory, the transformation of an old bootleg or vhs recording from inert data into something that flourishes in a whole new era. there’s something cosmically optimistic about the track, and when its melody finally emerges, swooping down from the ceiling and careening around in loop de loops, it fully transcends space and time.  emily yoshida listen: jamie xx, “gosh” dirty hit/interscope if any song summarizes this decade literally it’s “love it if we made it.” according to 1975 singer matty healy, for all its promises of progress, “modernity has failed us,” and he’s got the receipts. over gigantic drums and gleaming synthesizers, he unleashes a torrent of horrors pulled straight from the headlines, including but not limited to: police brutality against black people, fake news, the syrian refugee crisis, the prison industrial complex, and the opioid epidemic. had he delivered these realities as a long, sober list, the track would have been too grim, too exhausting. but the 1975 pair this “we didn’t start the fire” style litany with a technicolor chorus that offers hope in the face of darkness. “and i’d love it if we made it,” healy bellows over and over with increasing fervor, both a plea and an avowal to make a difference.  quinn moreland listen: the 1975, “love it if we made it” roc nation on “work,” boi 1da’s gleaming dancehall beat provides an unlikely home for rihanna’s vulnerable portrayal of the whiplash of a complex love, of being between heartbreak, longing, and self assurance. the rolling patois of songwriter partynextdoor’s reference track is left intact on the final version, though in rihanna’s hands, “work” loses its tempestuousness and gains perpetual song of summer status. released in the midst of pop radio’s renewed interest in “tropical” sounds, this no. 1 hit was not the bajan singer’s first foray into the music of her culture but, perhaps until the arrival of her long rumored reggae album, it is her most complete.  rawiya kameir listen: rihanna, “work” [ft. drake] jagjaguwar an aching rave up and a frenzy of desire, “shut up kiss me” anchored my woman, angel olsen’s vibrant, wide screen third album. the song enters a long line of kissability anthems part girl group yearning à la the shangri las’ “give him a great big kiss,” part lucinda williams sass à la “passionate kisses.” olsen steps up with deceptively cool headed intentions: “we could still be having some sweet memories,” she wagers, but as each word becomes a staccatoed punch, she lets herself fly. when she hollers “i’m still young!” it is a full body grasp at life itself. “shut up kiss me” is a glitter bomb testament to the mania of longing, a fight song for the human heart in all its exhausting complexity.  jenn pelly listen: angel olsen, “shut up kiss me” interscope in the early 2010s, chief keef was a true religion jeans wearing teenager whose main concern was escaping house arrest. he released “i don’t like” in an effort to solidify his local chicago fame, but he ended up stumbling into virality and worldwide renown. with its harsh, gut wrenching street talk over a young chop production that incorporated thudding drums, tinny chimes, and horror film melodies, the song established drill music as a legitimate hip hop subgenre. kanye west would even tap keef for a remix of the track, which landed on g.o.o.d. music’s cruel summer compilation. at the time, hip hop didn’t know how to respond to this rugged teen; the industry couldn’t account for the level of internet and street popularity keef had achieved. years later, it’s still trying to catch up.  alphonse pierre listen: chief keef, “i don’t like” [ft. lil reese] capitol there is no more perfect way to describe life than as embarrassing. painful? sure. fun? sometimes. weird? if you’re lucky. but embarrassing? always. this song, written by blood orange’s dev hynes, is nominally a breakup song. but when sky ferreira sings, “you know i’m trying, i was always trying,” she may as well be outlining a thesis on how best to live in the face of daily humiliation. what could be more mortifying than living earnestly in a world determined to make a joke out of everything? ferreira, an l.a. singer with a husky voice and a difficult past, has a flair for making the dramatic seem commonplace (and vice versa), especially in contrast with hynes signature funk lite guitar strutting. it all turns “everything is embarrassing” into a quirky, ’80s tinged anthem for anyone flinching through their days.  matthew schnipper listen: sky ferreira, “everything is embarrassing” drag city bill callahan has become a master of portraying isolation throughout his three decade career, but few of his songs do so more acutely than “riding for the feeling.” it’s sung by a man perpetually exiting crowded rooms a freeze frame on desolation that offers no solutions, just invisible companionship. the song’s arrangement is sparse but stirring brushed snare and twangs of electric guitar neither overpower nor dissolve under callahan’s weighty baritone. at one point, he describes the final exchange between a longing crowd and a reticent performer. “i asked the room if i’d said enough/no one really answered,” callahan deadpans. “they just said, ‘don't go, don't go…’” a picture of outstretched arms comes into focus, but it’s clear that their reach provides no comfort. later, he finds himself on a hotel bed, tuned in to a muted television. that scrap of information sets an entire scene; you get the sense that the hotel isn’t a very nice one, and the tv, though silent, emits just enough light to make it feel a little less lonely.  madison bloom listen: bill callahan, “riding for the feeling” generation now/atlantic lil uzi vert’s “xo tour lif3” was never supposed to be a hit. the single was included as part of a throwaway four track ep that was meant to fill time leading up to the philadelphia rapper’s major label debut, luv is rage 2. but as soon as the track was uploaded to soundcloud, gloomy lyrics like “push me to the edge, all my friends are dead” and “xanny help the pain” went viral; so did uzi’s delivery, which made him sound like a pop punk prince. even the instrumental, which producer tm88 recorded using an old computer and a beats pill, is irresistible. for a while, few took uzi seriously as a hitmaker. but as “xo tour llif3” wormed its way toward ubiquity, becoming the soundcloud generation’s most influential song, it established uzi as one of hip hop’s most distinctive voices.  alphonse pierre listen: lil uzi vert, “xo tour llif3” interscope/polydor when lana del rey first arrived, she was bored and glamorous, looking by turns like a queen of old hollywood and like she was too young to be smoking. her makeshift visual for “video games” confronted the incongruity without shame: the retro gazing torch singer uploading webcam footage to youtube, the beautiful pop star acquiescing to feeling ignored. the most familiar version of “video games” is actually the rough mix, a working draft built over live vocals and piano. it’s not quite polished, and like the grain on a photograph, that’s part of its charm. tolling church bells, harp arpeggios, and chilly gasps of electric air swirl around submerged 808 hits, as lana, low and smooth, sounds self assured or desperate or even sarcastic. “they say that the world was built for two/only worth living if somebody is loving you,” she sang, pining after a man shaped vacancy, as if self sacrifice could make her any less alone. it was outright depressing, and she made it look good.  anna gaca listen: lana del rey, “video games” columbia solange dropped a seat at the table less than six weeks before america elected donald trump as its 45th president. for people who had been listening to the album on repeat during that time, putting on “cranes in the sky,” its most moving track, was like popping an emergen c for a flu we didn’t even know we were in danger of contracting. “cranes” is a soft power anthem for frightening times, noncoercive yet still inspiring. it’s the product of solange working through the trauma, sadness, and disappointment of being a black woman in this society. it’s the song you hear when you break through to the other side when you are stepping firmly into joy and identity and it’s musically structured to mimic the journey: airy and peaceful and ponderous, sometimes a little bit fragile, but bold in its choices. there’s so much space around solange’s calm, and the song’s jazzy, soulful rhythms are carefully selected to evoke a whole history of black musicians, black culture, and black spirituality. it’s notable that solange never belts, and the climax of “cranes” isn’t a noisy ascension but a quiet one, right at the end: her voice, delicately scaling the mountain to reach minnie ripperton heights. at a time when power is something loud and dangerous and brash, “cranes in the sky” is an atypical song of revolution. it will be played endlessly, hopefully in less toxic times not during rallies, or when a candidate walks onstage, but in quiet moments when we need to reflect, recharge, and rediscover our own beauty.  allison p. davis listen: solange, “cranes in the sky” dead oceans sometimes, love isn’t enough. on “your best american girl,” despite how mitski strives and stretches to fit into the world of her “all american boy,” it doesn’t quite work. the japanese american indie rocker feels the pull of her heritage and the traditions her parents raised her with, and must accept they are incompatible with his. puberty 2, mitski’s fourth album, runs deep with such moments of questioning, as she navigates themes of loneliness, depression, and lust. love isn’t the deus ex machina to solve any of them; that’s the stuff of blonder romantic heroines onscreen. instead, she offers rougher truths, and none wiser than in this song: over grandly ringing arena guitars and the kind of distortion that can drown out saner thoughts, mitski elegantly releases her love, in a sad yet prideful push, valuing herself above tempting conformity. how did her captain america take this? did he object? we’ll never know, because his voice and thoughts are not heard. this song is not about his experience. it’s about hers.  stacey anderson listen: mitski, “your best american girl” self released “212” launched the force that is azealia banks by way of the sweet voiced theater nerd’s sneer of, “i’ma ruin you, cunt.” it’s a ratatat mc in the harlem tradition, twisting her claymation cadences around a frothy house beat. it’s a new yorker’s goodbye to new york, an overdue star’s coming out party, and a warning to herself. (it was also a youtube smash before the industry knew what to do with those.) flipping a previously obscure belgian dance track, azealia banks was one of the decade’s first to recognize that the sound of vogue culture would reverberate far beyond the city. celebrated french canadian producers lunice and jacques greene make cameos in the unforgettable black and white video, but only cameos: “212” felt like pure banks, the unfiltered arrival of a fiery new voice. and although her personal controversies have largely overshadowed her music by now, this singular track can still raze anything that dares get in its way.  marc hogan listen: azealia banks, “212” self released on december 27th, 2011, in the thin air of a commercial airliner flying back to los angeles, frank ocean typed a few hundred words that slowly darkened the glow of a laptop screen. they told the story of his first love a man and that nameless summer longing that whistles through us all. he kept his thoughts private for awhile, and instead posted a cryptic message on his tumblr: “fuck. that was hard to write.” when he did publish his writing, an open letter, it was on july 4th the following year, still three years before the u.s. supreme court would strike down the ban on same sex marriage, but just days before he surprise released his official debut, channel orange. “i feel like a free man,” ocean concluded in the letter. “if i listen closely.. i can hear the sky falling, too.” what an unprecedented act of bravery in the history of black music, of queer music, of all music; he opened the door so that we could at once pour ourselves into his light. it was the lens through which we listened to channel orange, and no song echoes the love, the glow, the tectonic impact of frank ocean more than “thinkin bout you.” call it r&b, or nü doo wop, or the music from the guy in odd future who sings, whatever you want, “thinkin bout you” belongs in a delirious world of its own. the song’s direct address is shaded with nostalgia and fabulism, its vision so wide it takes cues from ’70s songwriter albert hammond, prince’s sign “o” the times, and country legend george strait. every single moment, from the tornado to southern california to the beach house in idaho, feels like ocean is flying at the ceiling unlimited: when the snare eighth notes lock in with ocean’s vocals, when he leaps out of nowhere to the falsetto in the chorus, when he sings, “yes, of course i remember/how could i forget how you feel?” for ocean, it’s a foregone conclusion yes, of course that those endless days and nights feeling that “new feel” will last forever. we all have that one summer, that one love that altered the course of our lives. this was frank ocean’s, and he graciously let it be ours, too.  jeremy d. larson listen: frank ocean, “thinkin bout you” parkwood/columbia the day after trayvon martin’s birthday, beyoncé unceremoniously uploaded “formation” onto her website. the tension of the song was immediate from the siren of mike will’s hypnotic two note opening: it felt viscerally reactive to the moment, a response to the murder of black people at the hands of the police, a reminder via the opening voice of messy mya from beyond the grave that the cyclical nature of violence is heightened among communities forgotten by the government. it reminded me of the story behind nina simone’s “mississippi goddamn,” a furious song simone wrote in 1964 as an antidote to internal anger, delivered with the pep of a show tune, that reflected on the murder of civil rights activist medgar evers and a white supremacist attack on an alabama church that killed four young girls. simone once said, “we will shape and mold this country or it will not be molded and shaped at all anymore.” when beyoncé performed “formation” at the 2016 super bowl halftime show, the day after its release, wearing the bandoliers of the black panthers, it felt like she was ready to take the reins and be seen doing so. in the unforgettable video, beyoncé crouches on a cop car submerged alongside houses in new orleans devastated by natural disaster, the scene interspersed with images of people dancing in the dark it’s the no fucks vibrancy of a culture that persists when the systems surrounding them have been sucked into the muck and left to languish. beyoncé celebrates the southern black vernacular and southern black culture: marching bands, cowboys, step squads, mardi gras, and bounce queens appear in the video, and in the song, she flaunts her “baby hair and afros” and her “negro nose with jackson five nostrils.” though the song was thoroughly and specifically for and about black women and their unseen labor, the whole world was quick to rally behind another bey hit. hillary clinton, hot on the campaign trail, would mention she had hot sauce in her bag on an interview with long running hip hop radio show, “the breakfast club,” etsy would commodify her language and iconography, so that women of every race could get in formation. the next year, “formation” would lose two grammys to adele’s “hello,” but the phrase “ok ladies, now let’s get in formation” would appear across signs at the women’s march and in allyship alongside the #metoo movement, reinvigorated from a decade’s existence by the weinstein allegations. the song’s initial appeal was an awakening for a country in crisis. but it will live on as a reminder of the slow, persistent, daily work of organizing and the power of resilience and protest the importance of holding grief, anger, hope, and pride side by side.  puja patel listen: beyoncé, “formation” interscope/konichiwa new york city’s subway system is typically associated with maddening delays, twitchy vermin, and, occasionally, traces of the bubonic plague. it is a place where you strap on headphones like armor and try to block out humanity. but everything changed for a few minutes on the night of march 8, 2019. that’s when a hundred strong gaggle of robyn fans, clinging to the thrill of just having seen their hero onstage at madison square garden, began singing, jumping, and goofily smiling along with a song about stomping through heartbreak, turning a filthy subway platform in the middle of manhattan into an ecstatic summit. such is the power of “dancing on my own.” a month after that impromptu party, the bubbling anthem, which first hit the internet in the spring of 2010, was finally certified platinum in america cosmic justice for a song that never touched the billboard hot 100 but still served as a lodestar for so much of this decade’s pop. with “dancing on my own,” from her defining album body talk, robyn took the euphoric ache of classic house and disco, spiked it with her own obsessive brand of vulnerability, and set a blueprint for everyone from lorde to st. vincent to taylor swift to worshipfully follow. at its core, the song is an exploration of contradictions: between the mechanized backbeat and robyn’s all too human vocals; between a dancefloor’s collective catharsis and the isolation of being trapped inside your own skin; between the despair of the heart and the resilience of the body. “i’m right over here, why can’t you see me?” robyn pleads to an oblivious ex making out with someone new across the club. for all of its invisible voyeurism, though, “dancing on my own” has a regenerative ability to make anyone who hears it feel hopelessly, resolutely seen.  ryan dombal listen: robyn, “dancing on my own” 4ad in the seven years since grimes released her breakout hit, increasingly outlandish cycles of outrage have engulfed the canadian singer, songwriter, and producer born claire boucher. most recently, it was her loyalty to a future a.i. dictatorship that got people wondering whether she was some kind of techno fascist. but what grimes’ critics fail to realize is that she has always looked to what’s next in order to soothe her present. you can hear it on “oblivion,” with its gargled bass line that still sounds tailor made for the exact moment when aliens lower their drawbridge onto earth. boucher wrote the visions single after experiencing an assault she described as “one of the most shattering experiences of my life,” the kind that leaves you on the back foot in perpetuity. “and now i’m left behind, all the time,” she sang, a devastating sentiment rendered in succubus sing song, and a setback transcended by the track’s forward thinking production. ultimately, “oblivion” galvanized boucher’s pain into a complex anthem of vulnerability and nihilism that defiantly eludes a clear reading a reminder to never stop searching for nuance as you look ahead.  laura snapes listen: grimes, “oblivion” aftermath/interscope/top dawg it’s not every day, or even every decade, that a song will become platinum certified, grammy recognized, street ratified, activist endorsed, and a new nominee for black national anthem; that it’ll be just as effective performed before a massive festival audience or chanted on the front lines at protests; that it’ll serve as a war cry against police brutality, against trump, for the survival of the disenfranchised. inspired by a trip to south africa, kendrick lamar’s “alright” bears a message of unbreakable optimism in the face of hardship: “we gon’ be alright!” repeats pharrell, who helped write and produce the song. endurance, it assures, will ensure a more positive tomorrow. “alls my life i’ve had to fight, nigga!” kendrick howls, echoing writer and activist alice walker on the black american experience. fighting is the only way we know forward. the centerpiece of kendrick’s most ambitious opus, to pimp a butterfly, “alright” permeated the collective consciousness in the spring and summer of 2015. it was around the time people became tragically familiar with names like freddie gray and sandra bland, and when nine black people were shot and killed inside of a historic church in charleston, south carolina. as a cornerstone of the #blacklivesmatter canon, the song seemed like a beacon of light ushering us away from terror. you could argue that things are worse now than they were then, that its hope was misplaced. but “alright” isn’t promising a better world, just that we’ll find a way to survive the one we have. it is a defense mechanism, pining for an aspirational future maybe even a nonexistent one as it helps us cope with our chaotic present. for the entire 2010s, from section.80’s survivalist stories of the post reagan hood to good kid, m.a.a.d. city’s autobiographical cinema on the futile fight to escape the quicksand of street life, kendrick’s work has often dealt with persisting under perilous circumstances. to pimp a butterfly considers oppression’s sprawling impact, from colorism to survivor’s guilt, longing for a way we could all make it out together. to that end, “alright” serves as a thesis statement of sorts: that the path through life’s trials begins with striving for more, for better. you can imagine the characters who cycle in and out of his songs whispering “we gon’ be alright” to themselves, or reassuring loved ones between sighs, trying to make it through the next day. here, as horns wail and drums snap, there is a sense that the “we” is actually unfathomable, a force that can overcome anything when banded as one.  sheldon pearce listen: kendrick lamar, “alright” more from pitchfork events © 2025 condé nast. all rights reserved. pitchfork may earn a portion of sales from products that are purchased

welcome to sonic pi. hopefully you’re as excited to get started making crazy sounds as i am to show you. it’s going to be a really fun ride where you’ll learn all about music, synthesis, programming, composition, performance and more. but wait, how rude of me! let me introduce myself   i’m sam aaron   the chap that created sonic pi. you can find me at @samaaron on twitter and i’d be more than happy to say hello to you. you might also be interested in finding out more about my live coding performances where i code with sonic pi live in front of audiences. if you have any thoughts, or ideas for improving sonic pi   please pass them on   feedback is so helpful. you never know, your idea might be the next big feature! this tutorial is divided up into sections grouped by category. whilst i’ve written it to have an easy learning progression from start to finish, feel very free just to dip in and out of sections as you see fit. if you feel that there’s something missing, do let me know and i’ll consider it for a future version. finally, watching others live code is a really great way to learn. i regularly stream live on https://youtube.com/samaaron so please do drop by, say hi and ask me lots of questions : ) ok, let’s get started… one of the most exciting aspects of sonic pi is that it enables you to write and modify code live to make music, just like you might perform live with a guitar. this means that given some practice you can take sonic pi on stage and gig with it. before we get into the real details of how sonic pi works in the rest of this tutorial, i’d like to give you an experience of what it’s like to live code. don’t worry if you don’t understand much (or any) of this. just try to hold onto your seats and enjoy… let’s get started, copy the following code into an empty buffer above: now, press the run button and you’ll hear a nice fast bass drum beating away. if at any time you wish to stop the sound just hit the stop button. although don’t hit it just yet… instead, follow these steps: ok, that was simple enough. let’s add something else into the mix. above sample :bd_haus add the line sample :ambi_choir, rate: 0.3. your code should look like this: now, play around. change the rates   what happens when you use high values, or small values or negative values? see what happens when you change the rate: value for the :ambi_choir sample just slightly (say to 0.29). what happens if you choose a really small sleep value? see if you can make it go so fast your computer will stop with an error because it can’t keep up (if that happens, just choose a bigger sleep time and hit run again). try commenting one of the sample lines out by adding a # to the beginning: notice how it tells the computer to ignore it, so we don’t hear it. this is called a comment. in sonic pi we can use comments to remove and add things into the mix. finally, let me leave you something fun to play with. take the code below, and copy it into a spare buffer. now, don’t try to understand it too much other than see that there are two loops   so two things going round at the same time. now, do what you do best   experiment and play around. here are some suggestions: remember to press run and you’ll hear the change next time the loop goes round. if you end up in a pickle, don’t worry   hit stop, delete the code in the buffer and paste a fresh copy in and you’re ready to jam again. making mistakes is how you’ll learn the quickest… now, keep playing and experimenting until your curiosity about how this all actually works kicks in and you start wondering what else you can do with this. you’re now ready to read the rest of the tutorial. so what are you waiting for… sonic pi has a very simple interface for coding music. let’s spend a little time exploring it. these pink buttons are the main controls for starting and stopping sounds. there’s the run button for running the code in the editor, stop for stopping all running code, save for saving the code to an external file and record to create a recording (a wav file) of the sound playing. these orange buttons allow you to manipulate the code editor. the size + and size   buttons allow you to make the text bigger and smaller. these blue buttons give you access to information, help and preferences. the info button will open up the information window which contains information about sonic pi itself   the core team, history, contributors and community. the help button toggles the help system (g) and the prefs button toggles the preferences window which allows you to control some basic system parameters. this is the area where you’ll write your code and compose/perform music. it’s a simple text editor where you can write code, delete it, cut and paste, etc. think of it like a very basic version of word or google docs. the editor will automatically colour words based on their meaning in the code. this may seem strange at first, but you’ll soon find it very useful. for example, you’ll know something is a number because it is blue. sonic pi supports a number of tweakable preferences which can be accessed by toggling the prefs button in the info and help button set. this will toggle the visibility of the prefs panel which includes a number of options to be changed. examples are forcing mono mode, inverting stereo, toggling log output verbosity and also a volume slider and audio selector on the raspberry pi. when you run your code, information about what the program is doing will be displayed in the log viewer. by default, you’ll see a message for every sound you create with the exact time the sound was triggered. this is very useful for debugging your code and understanding what your code is doing. one of the most important parts of the sonic pi interface is the help system which appears at the bottom of the window. this can be toggled on and off by clicking on the blue help button. the help system contains help and information about all aspects of sonic pi including this tutorial, a list of available synths, samples, examples, fx and a full list of all the functions sonic pi provides for coding music. the scope viewer allows you to see the sound you’re hearing. you can easily see that the saw wave looks like a saw and that the basic beep is a curvey sine wave. you can also see the difference between loud and quiet sounds by the size of the lines. there are 3 scopes to play with   the default is a combined scope for the left and right channels, there is a stereo scope which draws a separate scope for each channel. finally there is a lissajous curve scope which will show the phase relationship between the left and right channels and allows you to draw pretty pictures with sound (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/lissajous_curve). sonic pi encourages you to learn about both computing and music through play and experimentation. the most important thing is that you’re having fun, and before you know it you’ll have accidentally learned how to code, compose and perform. whilst we’re on this subject, let me just give you one piece of advice i’ve learned over my years of live coding with music   there are no mistakes, only opportunities. this is something i’ve often heard in relation to jazz but it works equally well with live coding. no matter how experienced you are   from a complete beginner to a seasoned live coder, you’ll run some code that has a completely unexpected outcome. it might sound insanely cool   in which case run with it. however, it might sound totally jarring and out of place. it doesn’t matter that it happened   what matters is what you do next with it. take the sound, manipulate it and morph it into something awesome. the crowd will go wild. when you’re learning, it’s tempting to want to do amazing things now. however, just hold that thought and see it as a distant goal to reach later. for now, instead think of the simplest thing you could write which would be fun and rewarding that’s a small step towards the amazing thing you have in your head. once you have an idea about that simple step, then try and build it, play with it and then see what new ideas it gives you. before long you’ll be too busy having fun and making real progress. just make sure to share your work with others! ok, enough of the intros   let’s get into some sound. in this section we’ll cover the basics of triggering and manipulating synths. synth is short for synthesiser which is a fancy word for something which creates sounds. typically synths are quite complicated to use   especially analog synths such as eurorack modules connected together by a mess of wires. however, sonic pi gives you much of that power in a very simple and approachable manner. don’t be fooled by the immediate simplicity of sonic pi’s interface. you can get very deep into very sophisticated sound manipulation if that’s your thing. hold on to your hats… take a look at the following code: this is where it all starts. go ahead, copy and paste it into the code window at the top of the app (the big white space under the run button). now, press run… intense. press it again. and again. and again… woah, crazy, i’m sure you could keep doing that all day. but wait, before you lose yourself in an infinite stream of beeps, try changing the number: can you hear the difference? try a lower number: so, lower numbers make lower pitched beeps and higher numbers make higher pitched beeps. just like on a piano, the keys at the lower part of the piano (the left hand side) play lower notes and the keys on the higher part of the piano (the right hand side) play higher notes. in fact, the numbers actually relate to notes on the piano. play 47 actually means play the 47th note on the piano. which means that play 48 is one note up (the next note to the right). it just so happens that the 4th octave c is number 60. go ahead and play it: play 60. don’t worry if this means nothing to you   it didn’t to me when i first started. all that matters right now is that you know that low numbers make lower beeps and high numbers make higher beeps. playing a note is quite fun, but playing many at the same time can be even better. try it: jazzy! so, when you write multiple plays, they all play at the same time. try it for yourself   which numbers sound good together? which sound terrible? experiment, explore and find out for yourself. so, playing notes and chords is fun   but how about a melody? what if you wanted to play one note after another and not at the same time? well, that’s easy, you just need to sleep between the notes: how lovely, a little arpeggio. so what does the 1 mean in sleep 1? well it means the duration of the sleep. it actually means sleep for one beat, but for now we can think about it as sleeping for 1 second. so, what if we wanted to make our arpeggio a little faster? well, we need to use shorter sleep values. what about a half i.e. 0.5: notice how it plays faster. now, try for yourself, change the times   use different times and notes. one thing to try is in between notes such as play 52.3 and play 52.63. there’s absolutely no need to stick to standard whole notes. play around and have fun. for those of you that already know some musical notation (don’t worry if you don’t   you don’t need it to have fun) you might want to write a melody using note names such as c and f# rather than numbers. sonic pi has you covered. you can do the following: remember to put the colon : in front of your note name so that it goes pink. also, you can specify the octave by adding a number after the note name: if you want to make a note sharp, add an s after the note name such as play :fs3 and if you want to make a note flat, add a b such as play :eb3. now go crazy and have fun making your own tunes. as well as allowing you to control which note to play or which sample to trigger, sonic pi provides a whole range of options to craft and control the sounds. we’ll be covering many of these in this tutorial and there’s extensive documentation for each in the help system. however, for now we’ll introduce two of the most useful: amplitude and pan. first, let’s look at what options actually are. sonic pi supports the notion of options (or opts for short) for its synths. opts are controls you pass to play which modify and control aspects of the sound you hear. each synth has its own set of opts for finely tuning its sound. however, there are common sets of opts shared by many sounds such as amp: and envelope opts (covered in another section). opts have two major parts, their name (the name of the control) and their value (the value you want to set the control at). for example, you might have a opt called cheese: and want to set it with a value of 1. opts are passed to calls to play by using a comma , and then the name of the opt such as amp: (don’t forget the colon :) and then a space and the value of the opt. for example: (note that cheese: isn’t a valid opt, we’re just using it as an example). you can pass multiple opts by separating them with a comma: the order of the opts doesn’t matter, so the following is identical: opts that aren’t recognised by the synth are just ignored (like cheese and beans which are clearly ridiculous opt names!) if you accidentally use the same opt twice with different values, the last one wins. for example, beans: here will have the value 2 rather than 0.5: many things in sonic pi accept opts, so just spend a little time learning how to use them and you’ll be set! let’s play with our first opt: amp:. amplitude is a computer representation of the loudness of a sound. a high amplitude produces a loud sound and a low amplitude produces a quiet sound. just as sonic pi uses numbers to represent time and notes, it uses numbers to represent amplitude. an amplitude of 0 is silent (you’ll hear nothing) whereas an amplitude of 1 is normal volume. you can even crank up the amplitude higher to 2, 10, 100. however, you should note that when the overall amplitude of all the sounds gets too high, sonic pi uses what’s called a compressor to squash them all to make sure things aren’t too loud for your ears. this can often make the sound muddy and strange. so try to use low amplitudes, i.e. in the range 0 to 0.5 to avoid compression. to change the amplitude of a sound, you can use the amp: opt. for example, to play at half amplitude pass 0.5: to play at double amplitude pass 2: the amp: opt only modifies the call to play it’s associated with. so, in this example, the first call to play is at half volume and the second is back to the default (1): of course, you can use different amp: values for each call to play: another fun opt to use is pan: which controls the panning of a sound in stereo. panning a sound to the left means that you hear it out of the left speaker, and panning it to the right means you hear it out of your right speaker. for our values, we use a  1 to represent fully left, 0 to represent center and 1 to represent fully right in the stereo field. of course, we’re free to use any value between  1 and 1 to control the exact positioning of our sound. let’s play a beep out of the left speaker: now, let’s play it out of the right speaker: finally let’s play it back out of the center of both (the default position): now, go and have fun changing the amplitude and panning of your sounds! so far we’ve had quite a lot of fun making beeps. however, you’re probably starting to get bored of the basic beep noise. is that all sonic pi has to offer? surely there’s more to live coding than just playing beeps? yes there is, and in this section we’ll explore some of the exciting range of sounds that sonic pi has to offer. sonic pi has a number of different instruments it calls synths (which is short for synthesisers). whereas samples represent pre recorded sounds, synths are capable of generating new sounds depending on how you control them (which we’ll explore later in this tutorial). sonic pi’s synths are very powerful and expressive and you’ll have a lot of fun exploring and playing with them. first, let’s learn how to select the current synth to use. a fun sound is the saw wave   let’s give it a try: let’s try another sound   the prophet: how about combining two sounds. first one after another: now multiple sounds at the same time (by not sleeping between successive calls to play): notice that the use_synth command only affects the following calls to play. think of it like a big switch   new calls to play will play whatever synth it’s currently pointing to. you can move the switch to a new synth with use_synth. to see which synths sonic pi has for you to play with take a look at the synths option in the menu at the bottom of this help screen (between examples & fx). there are over 20 to choose from. here are a few of my favourites: now play around with switching synths during your music. have fun combining synths to make new sounds as well as using different synths for different sections of your music. in an earlier section, we looked at how we can use the sleep command to control when to trigger our sounds. however, we haven’t yet been able to control the duration of our sounds. in order to give us a simple, yet powerful means of controlling the duration of our sounds, sonic pi provides the notion of an adsr amplitude envelope (we’ll cover what adsr means later in this section). an amplitude envelope offers two useful aspects of control: the duration is the length the sound lasts for. a longer duration means that you hear the sound for longer. sonic pi’s sounds all have a controllable amplitude envelope, and the total duration of that envelope is the duration of the sound. therefore, by controlling the envelope you control the duration. the adsr envelope not only controls duration, it also gives you fine control over the amplitude of the sound. all audible sounds start and end silent and contain some non silent part in between. envelopes allow you to slide and hold the amplitude of non silent parts of the sound. it’s like giving someone instructions on how to turn up and down the volume of a guitar amplifier. for example you might ask someone to “start at silence, slowly move up to full volume, hold it for a bit, then quickly fall back to silence.” sonic pi allows you to program exactly this behaviour with envelopes. just to recap, as we have seen before, an amplitude of 0 is silence and an amplitude of 1 is normal volume. now, let us look at each of the parts of the envelopes in turn. the only part of the envelope that’s used by default is the release time. this is the time it takes for the synth’s sound to fade out. all synths have a release time of 1 which means that by default they have a duration of 1 beat (which at the default bpm of 60 is 1 second): the note will be audible for 1 second. go ahead and time it : ) this is short hand for the longer more explicit version: notice how this sounds exactly the same (the sound lasts for one second). however, it’s now very easy to change the duration by modifying the value of the release: opt: we can make the synth sound for a very short amount of time by using a very small release time: the duration of the release of the sound is called the release phase and by default is a linear transition (i.e. a straight line). the following diagram illustrates this transition: the vertical line at the far left of the diagram shows that the sound starts at 0 amplitude, but goes up to full amplitude immediately (this is the attack phase which we’ll cover next). once at full amplitude it then moves in a straight line down to zero taking the amount of time specified by release:. longer release times produce longer synth fade outs. you can therefore change the duration of your sound by changing the release time. have a play adding release times to your music. by default, the attack phase is 0 for all synths which means they move from 0 amplitude to 1 immediately. this gives the synth an initial percussive sound. however, you may wish to fade your sound in. this can be achieved with the attack: opt. try fading in some sounds: you may use multiple opts at the same time. for example for a short attack and a long release try: this short attack and long release envelope is illustrated in the following diagram: of course, you may switch things around. try a long attack and a short release: finally, you can also have both short attack and release times for shorter sounds. in addition to specifying attack and release times, you may also specify a sustain time to control the sustain phase. this is the time for which the sound is maintained at full amplitude between the attack and release phases. the sustain time is useful for important sounds you wish to give full presence in the mix before entering an optional release phase. of course, it’s totally valid to set both the attack: and release: opts to 0 and just use the sustain to have absolutely no fade in or fade out to the sound. however, be warned, a release of 0 can produce clicks in the audio and it’s often better to use a very small value such as 0.2. for an extra level of control, you can also specify a decay time. this is a phase of the envelope that fits between the attack and sustain phases and specifies a time where the amplitude will drop from the attack_level: to the decay_level: (which unless you explicitly set it will be set to the sustain_level:). by default, the decay: opt is 0 and both the attack and sustain levels are 1 so you’ll need to specify them for the decay time to have any effect: one last trick is that although the decay_level: opt defaults to be the same value as sustain_level: you can explicitly set them to different values for full control over the envelope. this allows you to to create envelopes such as the following: it’s also possible to set the decay_level: to be higher than sustain_level:: so to summarise, sonic pi’s adsr envelopes have the following phases: it’s important to note that the duration of a sound is the summation of the times of each of these phases. therefore the following sound will have a duration of 0.5 + 1 + 2 + 0.5 = 4 beats: now go and have a play adding envelopes to your sounds… another great way to develop your music is to use pre recorded sounds. in great hip hop tradition, we call these pre recorded sounds samples. so, if you take a microphone outside, go and record the gentle sound of rain hitting canvas, you’ve just created a sample. sonic pi lets you do lots of fun things with samples. not only does it ship with 130 public domain samples ready for you to jam with, it lets you play and manipulate your own. let’s get to it… playing beeps is only the beginning. something that’s a lot of fun is triggering pre recorded samples. try it: sonic pi includes many samples for you to play with. you can use them just like you use the play command. to play multiple samples and notes just write them one after another: if you want to space them out in time, use the sleep command: notice how sonic pi doesn’t wait for a sound to finish before starting the next sound. the sleep command only describes the separation of the triggering of the sounds. this allows you to easily layer sounds together creating interesting overlap effects. later in this tutorial we’ll take a look at controlling the duration of sounds with envelopes. there are two ways to discover the range of samples provided in sonic pi. first, you can use this help system. click on samples in the menu at the bottom of this help screen, choose your category and then you’ll see a list of available sounds. alternatively you can use the auto completion system. simply type the start of a sample group such as: sample :ambi_ and you’ll see a drop down of sample names appear for you to select. try the following category prefixes: now start mixing samples into your compositions! as we saw with synths, we can easily control our sounds with parameters. samples support exactly the same parameterisation mechanism. let’s revisit our friends amp: and pan:. you can change the amplitude of samples with exactly the same approach you used for synths: we’re also able to use the pan: parameter on samples. for example, here’s how we’d play the amen break in the left ear and then half way through play it again through the right ear: note that 0.877 is half the duration of the :loop_amen sample in seconds. finally, note that if you set some synth defaults with use_synth_defaults (which we will discuss later), these will be ignored by sample. now that we can play a variety of synths and samples to create some music, it’s time to learn how to modify both the synths and samples to make the music even more unique and interesting. first, let’s explore the ability to stretch and squash samples. samples are pre recorded sounds stored as numbers which represent how to move the speaker cone to reproduce the sound. the speaker cone can move in and out, and so the numbers just need to represent how far in and out the cone needs to be for each moment in time. to be able to faithfully reproduce a recorded sound the sample typically needs to store many thousands of numbers per second! sonic pi takes this list of numbers and feeds them at the right speed to move your computer’s speaker in and out in just the right way to reproduce the sound. however, it’s also fun to change the speed with which the numbers are fed to the speaker to change the sound. let’s play with one of the ambient sounds: :ambi_choir. to play it with the default rate, you can pass a rate: opt to sample: this plays it at normal rate (1), so nothing special yet. however, we’re free to change that number to something else. how about 0.5: woah! what’s going on here? well, two things. firstly, the sample takes twice as long to play, secondly the sound is an octave lower. let’s explore these things in a little more detail. a sample that’s fun to stretch and compress is the amen break. at normal rate, we might imagine throwing it into a drum ‘n’ bass track: however by changing the rate we can switch up genres. try half speed for old school hip hop: if we speed it up, we enter jungle territory: now for our final party trick   let’s see what happens if we use a negative rate: woah! it plays it backwards! now try playing with lots of different samples at different rates. try very fast rates. try crazy slow rates. see what interesting sounds you can produce. a useful way to think of samples is as springs. playback rate is like squashing and stretching the spring. if you play the sample at rate 2, you’re squashing the spring to half its normal length. the sample therefore takes half the amount of time to play as it’s shorter. if you play the sample at half rate, you’re stretching the spring to double its length. the sample therefore takes twice the amount of time to play as it’s longer. the more you squash (higher rate), the shorter it gets, the more you stretch (lower rate), the longer it gets. compressing a spring increases its density (the number of coils per cm)   this is similar to the sample sounding higher pitched. stretching the spring decreases its density and is similar to the sound having a lower pitch. (this section is provided for those that are interested in the details. please feel free to skip it…) as we saw above, a sample is represented by a big long list of numbers representing where the speaker should be through time. we can take this list of numbers and use it to draw a graph which would look similar to this: you might have seen pictures like this before. it’s called the waveform of a sample. it’s just a graph of numbers. typically a waveform like this will have 44100 points of data per second (this is due to the nyquist shannon sampling theorem). so, if the sample lasts for 2 seconds, the waveform will be represented by 88200 numbers which we would feed to the speaker at a rate of 44100 points per second. of course, we could feed it at double rate which would be 88200 points per second. this would therefore take only 1 second to play back. we could also play it back at half rate which would be 22050 points per second taking 4 seconds to play back. the duration of the sample is affected by the playback rate: we can represent this with the formula: changing the playback rate also affects the pitch of the sample. the frequency or pitch of a waveform is determined by how fast it moves up and down. our brains somehow turn fast movement of speakers into high notes and slow movement of speakers into low notes. this is why you can sometimes even see a big bass speaker move as it pumps out super low bass   it’s actually moving a lot slower in and out than a speaker producing higher notes. if you take a waveform and squash it it will move up and down more times per second. this will make it sound higher pitched. it turns out that doubling the amount of up and down movements (oscillations) doubles the frequency. so, playing your sample at double rate will double the frequency you hear it. also, halving the rate will halve the frequency. other rates will affect the frequency accordingly. it is also possible to modify the duration and amplitude of a sample using an adsr envelope. however, this works slightly differently to the adsr envelope available on synths. sample envelopes only allow you to reduce the amplitude and duration of a sample   and never to increase it. the sample will stop when either the sample has finished playing or the envelope has completed   whichever is first. so, if you use a very long release:, it won’t extend the duration of the sample. let’s return to our trusty friend the amen break: with no opts, we hear the full sample at full amplitude. if we want to fade this in over 1 second we can use the attack: param: for a shorter fade in, choose a shorter attack value: where the adsr envelope’s behaviour differs from the standard synth envelope is in the sustain value. in the standard synth envelope, the sustain defaulted to 0 unless you set it manually. with samples, the sustain value defaults to an automagical value   the time left to play the rest of the sample. this is why we hear the full sample when we pass no defaults. if the attack, decay, sustain and release values were all 0 we’d never hear a peep. sonic pi therefore calculates how long the sample is, deducts any attack, decay and release times and uses the result as your sustain time. if the attack, decay and release values add up to more than the duration of the sample, the sustain is simply set to 0. to explore this, let’s consider our amen break in more detail. if we ask sonic pi how long the sample is: it will print out 1.753310657596372 which is the length of the sample in seconds. let’s just round that to 1.75 for convenience here. now, if we set the release to 0.75, something surprising will happen: it will play the first second of the sample at full amplitude before then fading out over a period of 0.75 seconds. this is the auto sustain in action. by default, the release always works from the end of the sample. if our sample was 10.75 seconds long, it would play the first 10 seconds at full amplitude before fading out over 0.75s. remember: by default, release: fades out at the end of a sample. we can use both attack: and release: together with the auto sustain behaviour to fade both in and out over the duration of the sample: as the full duration of the sample is 1.75s and our attack and release phases add up to 1.5s, the sustain is automatically set to 0.25s. this allows us to easily fade the sample in and out. we can easily get back to our normal synth adsr behaviour by manually setting sustain: to a value such as 0: now, our sample only plays for 0.75 seconds in total. with the default for attack: and decay: at 0, the sample jumps straight to full amplitude, sustains there for 0s then releases back down to 0 amplitude over the release period   0.75s. we can use this behaviour to good effect to turn longer sounding samples into shorter, more percussive versions. consider the sample :drum_cymbal_open: you can hear the cymbal sound ringing out over a period of time. however, we can use our envelope to make it more percussive: you can then emulate hitting the cymbal and then dampening it by increasing the sustain period: now go and have fun putting envelopes over the samples. try changing the rate too for really interesting results. this section will conclude our exploration of sonic pi’s sample player. let’s do a quick recap. so far we’ve looked at how we can trigger samples: we then looked at how we can change the rate of samples such as playing them at half speed: next, we looked at how we could fade a sample in (let’s do it at half speed): we also looked at how we could use the start of a sample percussively by giving sustain: an explicit value and setting both the attack and release to be short values: however, wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t have to always start at the beginning of the sample? wouldn’t it also be nice if we didn’t have to always finish at the end of the sample? it is possible to choose an arbitrary starting point in the sample as a value between 0 and 1 where 0 is the start of the sample, 1 is the end and 0.5 is half way through the sample. let’s try playing only the last half of the amen break: how about the last quarter of the sample: similarly, it is possible to choose an arbitrary finish point in the sample as a value between 0 and 1. let’s finish the amen break half way through: of course, we can combine these two to play arbitrary segments of the audio file. how about only a small section in the middle: what happens if we choose a start position after the finish position? cool! it plays it backwards! we can combine this new ability to play arbitrary segments of audio with our friend rate:. for example, we can play a very small section of the middle of the amen break very slowly: finally, we can combine all of this with our adsr envelopes to produce interesting results: now go and have a play mashing up samples with all of this fun stuff… whilst the built in samples can get you up and started quickly, you might wish to experiment with other recorded sounds in your music. sonic pi totally supports this. first though, let’s have a quick discussion on the portability of your piece. when you compose your piece purely with built in synths and samples, the code is all you need to faithfully reproduce your music. think about that for a moment   that’s amazing! a simple piece of text you can email around or stick in a gist represents everything you need to reproduce your sounds. that makes it really easy to share with your friends as they just need to get hold of the code. however, if you start using your own pre recorded samples, you lose this portability. this is because to reproduce your music other people not only need your code, they need your samples too. this limits the ability for others to manipulate, mash up and experiment with your work. of course this shouldn’t stop you from using your own samples, it’s just something to consider. so how do you play any arbitrary wav, aiff or flac file on your computer? all you need to do is pass the path of that file to sample: sonic pi will automatically load and play the sample. you can also pass all the standard params you’re used to passing sample: note: this section of the tutorial covers the advanced topic of working with large directories of your own samples. this will be the case if you’ve downloaded or bought your own sample packs and wish to use them within sonic pi. feel free to skip this if you’re happy working with the built in samples. when working with large folders of external samples it can be cumbersome to have to type the whole path every time to trigger an individual sample. for example, say you have the following folder on your machine: when we look inside that folder we find the following samples: typically in order to play the piano sample we can use the full path: if we want to then play the guitar sample we can use its full path too: however, both of these calls to sample requires us to know the names of the samples within our directory. what if we just want to listen to each sample in turn quickly? if we want to play the first sample in a directory we just need to pass the directory’s name to sample and the index 0 as follows: we can even make a shortcut to our directory path using a variable: now, if we want to play the second sample in our directory, we just need to add 1 to our index: notice that we no longer need to know the names of the samples in the directory   we just need to know the directory itself (or have a shortcut to it). if we ask for an index which is larger than the number of samples, it simply wraps round just like rings. therefore, whatever number we use we’re guaranteed to get one of the samples in that directory. usually indexing is enough, but sometimes we need more power to sort and organise our samples. luckily many sample packs add useful information in the filenames. let’s take another look at the sample file names in our directory: notice that in these filenames we have quite a bit of information. firstly, we have the bpm of the sample (beats per minute) at the start. so, the piano sample is at 120 bpm and our first three melodies are at 100 bpm. also, our sample names contain the key. so the guitar sample is in bb and the melodies are in a#. this information is very useful for mixing in these samples with our other code. for example, we know we can only play the piano sample with code that’s in 120 bpm and in the key of bb. it turns out that we can use this particular naming convention of our sample sets in the code to help us filter out the ones we want. for example, if we’re working at 120 bpm, we can filter down to all the samples that contain the string "120" with the following: this will play us the first match. if we want the second match we just need to use the index: we can even use multiple filters at the same time. for example, if we want a sample whose filename contains both the substrings “120” and “a#” we can find it easily with the following code: finally, we’re still free to add our usual opts to the call to sample: the sample filter pre arg system understands two types of information: sources and filters. sources are information used to create the list of potential candidates. a source can take two forms: the sample fn will first gather all sources and use them to create a large list of candidates. this list is constructed by first adding all valid paths and then by adding all the valid .flac, .aif, .aiff, .wav, .wave files contained within the directories. for example, take a look at the following code: here, we’re combining the contents of the samples within two directories and adding a specific sample. if "/path/to/my/samples/" contained 3 samples and "/path/to/my/samples2/" contained 12, we’d have 16 potential samples to index and filter (3 + 12 + 1). by default, only the sample files within a directory are gathered into the candidate list. sometimes you might have a number of nested folders of samples you wish to search and filter within. you can therefore do a recursive search for all samples within all subfolders of a particular folder by adding ** to the end of the path: take care though as searching through a very large set of folders may take a long time. however, the contents of all folder sources are cached, so the delay will only happen the first time. finally, note that the sources must go first. if no source is given, then the set of built in samples will be selected as the default list of candidates to work with. once you have a list of candidates you may use the following filtering types to further reduce the selection: for example, we can filter over all the samples in a directory containing the string "foo" and play the first matching sample at half speed: see the help for sample for many detailed usage examples. note that the ordering of the filters is honoured. finally, you may use lists wherever you may place a source or filter. the list will be automatically flattened and the contents will be treated as regular sources and filters. therefore the following calls to sample are semantically equivalent: this was an advanced section for people that need real power to manipulate and use sample packs. if most of this section didn’t make too much sense, don’t worry. it’s likely you don’t need any of this functionality just yet. however, you’ll know when you do need it and you can come back and re read this when you start working with large directories of samples. a great way to add some interest into your music is using some random numbers. sonic pi has some great functionality for adding randomness to your music, but before we start we need to learn a shocking truth: in sonic pi random is not truly random. what on earth does this mean? well, let’s see. a really useful random function is rrand which will give you a random value between two numbers   a min and a max. (rrand is short for ranged random). let’s try playing a random note: ooh, it played a random note. it played note 83.7527. a nice random note between 50 and 95. woah, wait, did i just predict the exact random note you got too? something fishy is going on here. try running the code again. what? it chose 83.7527 again? that can’t be random! the answer is that it is not truly random, it’s pseudo random. sonic pi will give you random like numbers in a repeatable manner. this is very useful for ensuring that the music you create on your machine sounds identical on everybody else’s machine   even if you use some randomness in your composition. of course, in a given piece of music, if it ‘randomly’ chose 83.7527 every time, then it wouldn’t be very interesting. however, it doesn’t. try the following: yes! it finally sounds random. within a given run subsequent calls to random functions will return random values. however, the next run will produce exactly the same sequence of random values and sound exactly the same. it’s as if all sonic pi code went back in time to exactly the same point every time the run button was pressed. it’s the groundhog day of music synthesis! a lovely illustration of randomisation in action is the haunted bells example which loops the :perc_bell sample with a random rate and sleep time between bell sounds: another fun example of randomisation is to modify the cutoff of a synth randomly. a great synth to try this out on is the :tb303 emulator: so, what if you don’t like this particular sequence of random numbers sonic pi provides? well it’s totally possible to choose a different starting point via use_random_seed. the default seed happens to be 0, so choose a different seed for a different random experience! consider the following: every time you run this code, you’ll hear the same sequence of 5 notes. to get a different sequence simply change the seed: this will produce a different sequence of 5 notes. by changing the seed and listening to the results you can find something that you like   and when you share it with others, they will hear exactly what you heard too. let’s have a look at some other useful random functions. a very common thing to do is to choose an item randomly from a list of known items. for example, i may want to play one note from the following: 60, 65 or 72. i can achieve this with choose which lets me choose an item from a list. first, i need to put my numbers in a list which is done by wrapping them in square brackets and separating them with commas: [60, 65, 72]. next i just need to pass them to choose: let’s hear what that sounds like: we’ve already seen rrand, but let’s run over it again. it returns a random number between two values exclusively. that means it will never return either the top or bottom number   always something in between the two. the number will always be a float   meaning it’s not a whole number but a fraction of a number. examples of floats returned by rrand(20, 110): occasionally you’ll want a whole random number, not a float. this is where rrand_i comes to the rescue. it works similarly to rrand except it may return the min and max values as potential random values (which means it’s inclusive rather than exclusive of the range). examples of numbers returned by rrand_i(20, 110) are: this will return a random float between 0 (inclusive) and the max value you specify (exclusive). by default it will return a value between 0 and one. it’s therefore useful for choosing random amp: values: similar to the relationship between rrand_i and rrand, rand_i will return a random whole number between 0 and the max value you specify. sometimes you want to emulate a dice throw   this is a special case of rrand_i where the lower value is always 1. a call to dice requires you to specify the number of sides on the dice. a standard dice has 6 sides, so dice(6) will act very similarly   returning values of either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. however, just like fantasy role play games, you might find value in a 4 sided dice, or a 12 sided dice, or a 20 sided dice   perhaps even a 120 sided dice! finally you may wish to emulate throwing the top score of a dice such as a 6 in a standard dice. one_in therefore returns true with a probability of one in the number of sides on the dice. therefore one_in(6) will return true with a probability of 1 in 6 or false otherwise. true and false values are very useful for if statements which we will cover in a subsequent section of this tutorial. now, go and jumble up your code with some randomness! now that you’ve learned the basics of creating sounds with play and sample and creating simple melodies and rhythms by sleeping between sounds, you might be wondering what else the world of code can offer you… well, you’re in for an exciting treat! it turns out that basic programming structures such as looping, conditionals, functions and threads give you amazingly powerful tools to express your musical ideas. let’s get stuck in with the basics… a structure you’ll see a lot in sonic pi is the block. blocks allow us to do useful things with large chunks of code. for example, with synth and sample parameters we were able to change something that happened on a single line. however, sometimes we want to do something meaningful to a number of lines of code. for example, we may wish to loop it, to add reverb to it, to only run it 1 time out of 5, etc. consider the following code: to do something with a chunk of code, we need to tell sonic pi where the code block starts and where it ends. we use do for start and end for end. for example: however, this isn’t yet complete and won’t work (try it and you’ll get an error) as we haven’t told sonic pi what we want to do with this do/end block. we tell sonic pi this by writing some special code before the do. we’ll see a number of these special pieces of code later on in this tutorial. for now, it’s important to know that wrapping your code within do and end tells sonic pi you wish to do something special with that chunk of code. so far we’ve spent a lot of time looking at the different sounds you can make with play and sample blocks. we’ve also learned how to trigger these sounds through time using sleep. as you’ve probably found out, there’s a lot of fun you can have with these basic building blocks. however, a whole new dimension of fun opens up when you start using the power of code to structure your music and compositions. in the next few sections we’ll explore some of these powerful new tools. first up is iteration and loops. have you written some code you’d like to repeat a few times? for example, you might have something like this: what if we wished to repeat this 3 times? well, we could do something simple and just copy and paste it three times: now that’s a lot of code! what happens if you want to change the sample to :elec_plip? you’re going to have to find all the places with the original :elec_blup and switch them over. more importantly, what if you wanted to repeat the original piece of code 50 times or 1000? now that would be a lot of code, and a lot of lines of code to alter if you wanted to make a change. in fact, repeating the code should be as easy as saying do this three times. well, it pretty much is. remember our old friend the code block? we can use it to mark the start and end of the code we’d like to repeat three times. we then use the special code 3.times. so, instead of writing do this three times, we write 3.times do   that’s not too hard. just remember to write end at the end of the code you’d like to repeat: now isn’t that much neater than cutting and pasting! we can use this to create lots of nice repeating structures: we can put iterations inside other iterations to create interesting patterns. for example: if you want something to repeat a lot of times, you might find yourself using really large numbers such as 1000.times do. in this case, you’re probably better off asking sonic pi to repeat forever (at least until you press the stop button!). let’s loop the amen break forever: the important thing to know about loops is that they act like black holes for code. once the code enters a loop it can never leave until you press stop   it will just go round and round the loop forever. this means if you have code after the loop you will never hear it. for example, the cymbal after this loop will never play: now, get structuring your code with iteration and loops! a common thing you’ll likely find yourself wanting to do is to not only play a random note (see the previous section on randomness) but also make a random decision and based on the outcome run some code or some other code. for example, you might want to randomly play a drum or a cymbal. we can achieve this with an if statement. so, let’s flip a coin: if it’s heads, play a drum, if it’s tails, play a cymbal. easy. we can emulate a coin flip with our one_in function (introduced in the section on randomness) specifying a probability of 1 in 2: one_in(2). we can then use the result of this to decide between two pieces of code, the code to play the drum and the code to play the cymbal: notice that if statements have three parts: typically in programming languages, the notion of yes is represented by the term true and the notion of no is represented by the term false. so we need to find a question that will give us a true or false answer which is exactly what one_in does. notice how the first choice is wrapped between the if and the else and the second choice is wrapped between the else and the end. just like do/end blocks you can put multiple lines of code in either place. for example: this time we’re sleeping for a different amount of time depending on which choice we make. sometimes you want to optionally execute just one line of code. this is possible by placing if and then the question at the end. for example: this will play chords of different numbers with the chance of each note playing having a different probability. so you’ve made your killer bassline and a phat beat. how do you play them at the same time? one solution is to weave them together manually   play some bass, then a bit of drums, then more bass… however, the timing soon gets hard to think about, especially when you start weaving in more elements. what if sonic pi could weave things for you automatically? well, it can, and you do it with a special thing called a thread. to keep this example simple, you’ll have to imagine that this is a phat beat and a killer bassline: as we’ve discussed previously, loops are like black holes for the program. once you enter a loop you can never exit from it until you hit stop. how do we play both loops at the same time? we have to tell sonic pi that we want to start something at the same time as the rest of the code. this is where threads come to the rescue. by wrapping the first loop in an in_thread do/end block we tell sonic pi to run the contents of the do/end block at exactly the same time as the next statement after the do/end block (which happens to be the second loop). try it and you’ll hear both the drums and the bassline weaved together! now, what if we wanted to add a synth on top. something like: now we have the same problem as before. the first loop is played at the same time as the second loop due to the in_thread. however, the third loop is never reached. we therefore need another thread: what may surprise you is that when you press the run button, you’re actually creating a new thread for the code to run. this is why pressing it multiple times will layer sounds over each other. as the runs themselves are threads, they will automatically weave the sounds together for you. as you learn how to master sonic pi, you’ll learn that threads are the most important building blocks for your music. one of the important jobs they have is to isolate the notion of current settings from other threads. what does this mean? well, when you switch synths using use_synth you’re actually just switching the synth in the current thread   no other thread will have their synth switched. let’s see this in action: notice how the middle sound was different to the others? the use_synth statement only affected the thread it was in and not the outer main run thread. when you create a new thread with in_thread, the new thread will automatically inherit all of the current settings from the current thread. let’s see that: notice how the second note is played with the :tb303 synth even though it was played from a separate thread? any of the settings modified with the various use_* functions will behave in the same way. when threads are created, they inherit all the settings from their parent but they don’t share any changes back. finally, we can give our threads names: look at the log pane when you run this code. see how the log reports the name of the thread with the message? one last thing to know about named threads is that only one thread of a given name may be running at the same time. let’s explore this. consider the following code: go ahead and paste that into a buffer and press the run button. press it again a couple of times. listen to the cacophony of multiple amen breaks looping out of time with each other. ok, you can press stop now. this is the behaviour we’ve seen again and again   if you press the run button, sound layers on top of any existing sound. therefore if you have a loop and press the run button three times, you’ll have three layers of loops playing simultaneously. however, with named threads it is different: try pressing the run button multiple times with this code. you’ll only ever hear one amen break loop. you’ll also see this in the log: sonic pi is telling you that a thread with the name :amen is already playing, so it’s not creating another. this behaviour may not seem immediately useful to you now   but it will be very handy when we start to live code… once you start writing lots of code, you may wish to find a way to organise and structure things to make them tidier and easier to understand. functions are a very powerful way to do this. they give us the ability to give a name to a bunch of code. let’s take a look. here, we’ve defined a new function called foo. we do this with our old friend the do/end block and the magic word define followed by the name we wish to give to our function. we didn’t have to call it foo, we could have called it anything we want such as bar, baz or ideally something meaningful to you like main_section or lead_riff. remember to prepend a colon : to the name of your function when you define it. once we have defined our function we can call it by just writing its name: we can even use foo inside iteration blocks or anywhere we may have written play or sample. this gives us a great way to express ourselves and to create new meaningful words for use in our compositions. so far, every time you’ve pressed the run button, sonic pi has started from a completely blank slate. it knows nothing except for what is in the buffer. you can’t reference code in another buffer or another thread. however, functions change that. when you define a function, sonic pi remembers it. let’s try it. delete all the code in your buffer and replace it with: press the run button   and hear your function play. where did the code go? how did sonic pi know what to play? sonic pi just remembered your function   so even after you deleted it from the buffer, it remembered what you had typed. this behaviour only works with functions created using define (and defonce). you might be interested in knowing that just like you can pass min and max values to rrand, you can teach your functions to accept arguments. let’s take a look: this isn’t very exciting, but it illustrates the point. we’ve created our own version of play called my_player which is parameterised. the parameters need to go after the do of the define do/end block, surrounded by vertical goalposts | and separated by commas ,. you may use any words you want for the parameter names. the magic happens inside the define do/end block. you may use the parameter names as if they were real values. in this example i’m playing note n. you can consider the parameters as a kind of promise that when the code runs, they will be replaced with actual values. you do this by passing a parameter to the function when you call it. i do this with my_player 80 to play note 80. inside the function definition, n is now replaced with 80, so play n turns into play 80. when i call it again with my_player 90, n is now replaced with 90, so play n turns into play 90. let’s see a more interesting example: here i used repeats as if it was a number in the line repeats.times do. i also used root as if it was a note name in my call to play. see how we’re able to write something very expressive and easy to read by moving a lot of our logic into a function! a useful thing to do in your code is to create names for things. sonic pi makes this very easy: you write the name you wish to use, an equal sign (=), then the thing you want to remember: here, we’ve ‘remembered’ the symbol :loop_amen in the variable sample_name. we can now use sample_name everywhere we might have used :loop_amen. for example: there are three main reasons for using variables in sonic pi: communicating meaning, managing repetition and capturing the results of things. when you write code it’s easy to just think you’re telling the computer how to do stuff   as long as the computer understands it’s ok. however, it’s important to remember that it’s not just the computer that reads the code. other people may read it too and try to understand what’s going on. also, you’re likely to read your own code in the future and try to understand what’s going on. although it might seem obvious to you now   it might not be so obvious to others or even your future self! one way to help others understand what your code is doing is to write comments (as we saw in a previous section). another is to use meaningful variable names. look at this code: why does it use the number 1.7533? where did this number come from? what does it mean? however, look at this code: now, it’s much clearer what 1.7533 means: it’s the duration of the sample :loop_amen! of course, you might say why not simply write: which, of course, is a very nice way of communicating the intent of the code. often you see a lot of repetition in your code and when you want to change things, you have to change it in a lot of places. take a look at this code: we’re doing a lot of things with :loop_amen! what if we wanted to hear what it sounded like with another loop sample such as :loop_garzul? we’d have to find and replace all :loop_amens with :loop_garzul. that might be fine if you have lots of time   but what if you’re performing on stage? sometimes you don’t have the luxury of time   especially if you want to keep people dancing. what if you’d written your code like this: now, that does exactly the same as above (try it). it also gives us the ability to just change one line sample_name = :loop_amen to sample_name = :loop_garzul and we change it in many places through the magic of variables. finally, a good motivation for using variables is to capture the results of things. for example, you may wish to do things with the duration of a sample: we can now use sd anywhere we need the duration of the :loop_amen sample. perhaps more importantly, a variable allows us to capture the result of a call to play or sample: now we have caught and remembered s as a variable, which allows us to control the synth as it is running: we’ll look into controlling synths in more detail in a later section. whilst variables are great for giving things names and capturing the results of things, it is important to know that they should typically only be used locally within a thread. for example, don’t do this: in the above example we assign a ring of numbers to a variable a and then used it within two separate live_loops. in the first live loop every 0.5s we sort the ring (to (ring 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)) and then print it out to the log. if you run the code, you’ll find that the printed list is not always sorted!. this may surprise you   especially that sometimes the list is printed as sorted, and sometimes it is not. this is called non deterministic behaviour and is the result of a rather nasty problem called a race condition. the problem is due to the fact that the second live loop is also manipulating the list (in this case shuffling it) and by the time the list is printed, sometimes it has just been sorted and sometimes it has just been shuffled. both live loops are racing to do something different to the same variable and every time round a different loop ‘wins’. there are two solutions to this. firstly, don’t use the same variable in multiple live loops or threads. for example, the following code will always print a sorted list as each live loop has its own separate variable: however, sometimes we do want to share things across threads. for example, the current key, bpm, synth etc. in these cases, the solution is to use sonic pi’s special thread safe state system via the fns get and set. this is discussed later on in section 10. once you have become sufficiently advanced live coding with a number of functions and threads simultaneously, you’ve probably noticed that it’s pretty easy to make a mistake in one of the threads which kills it. that’s no big deal, because you can easily restart the thread by hitting run. however, when you restart the thread it is now out of time with the original threads. as we discussed earlier, new threads created with in_thread inherit all of the settings from the parent thread. this includes the current time. this means that threads are always in time with each other when started simultaneously. however, when you start a thread on its own it starts with its own time which is unlikely to be in sync with any of the other currently running threads. sonic pi provides a solution to this problem with the functions cue and sync. cue allows us to send out heartbeat messages to all other threads. by default the other threads aren’t interested and ignore these heartbeat messages. however, you can easily register interest with the sync function. the important thing to be aware of is that sync is similar to sleep in that it stops the current thread from doing anything for a period of time. however, with sleep you specify how long you want to wait while with sync you don’t know how long you will wait   as sync waits for the next cue from another thread which may be soon or a long time away. let’s explore this in a little more detail: here we have two threads   one acting like a metronome, not playing any sounds but sending out :tick heartbeat messages every beat. the second thread is synchronising on tick messages and when it receives one it inherits the time of the cue thread and continues running. as a result, we will hear the :drum_heavy_kick sample exactly when the other thread sends the :tick message, even if the two threads didn’t start their execution at the same time: that naughty sleep call would typically make the second thread out of phase with the first. however, as we’re using cue and sync, we automatically sync the threads bypassing any accidental timing offsets. you are free to use whatever name you’d like for your cue messages   not just :tick. you just need to ensure that any other threads are syncing on the correct name   otherwise they’ll be waiting for ever (or at least until you press the stop button). let’s play with a few cue names: here we have a main cue loop which is randomly sending one of the heartbeat names :foo, :bar or :baz. we then also have three loop threads syncing on each of those names independently and then playing a different sample. the net effect is that we hear a sound every 0.5 beats as each of the sync threads is randomly synced with the cue thread and plays its sample. this of course also works if you order the threads in reverse as the sync threads will simply sit and wait for the next cue. one of the most rewarding and fun aspects of sonic pi is the ability to easily add studio effects to your sounds. for example, you may wish to add some reverb to parts of your piece, or some echo or perhaps even distort or wobble your basslines. sonic pi provides a very simple yet powerful way of adding fx. it even allows you to chain them (so you can pass your sounds through distortion, then echo and then reverb) and also control each individual fx unit with opts (in a similar way to giving params to synths and samples). you can even modify the opts of the fx whilst it’s still running. so, for example, you could increase the reverb on your bass throughout the track… if all of this sounds a bit complicated, don’t worry. once you play around with it a little, it will all become quite clear. before you do though, a simple analogy is that of guitar fx pedals. there are many kinds of fx pedals you can buy. some add reverb, others distort etc. a guitarist will plug his or her guitar into one fx pedal   i.e. distortion  , then take another cable and connect (chain) a reverb pedal. the output of the reverb pedal can then be plugged into the amplifier: this is called fx chaining. sonic pi supports exactly this. additionally, each pedal often has dials and sliders to allow you to control how much distortion, reverb, echo etc. to apply. sonic pi also supports this kind of control. finally, you can imagine a guitarist playing whilst someone plays with the fx controls whilst they’re playing. sonic pi also supports this   but instead of needing someone else to control things for you, that’s where the computer steps in. let’s explore fx! in this section we’ll look at a couple of fx: reverb and echo. we’ll see how to use them, how to control their opts and how to chain them. sonic pi’s fx system uses blocks. so if you haven’t read section 5.1 you might want to take a quick look and then head back. if we want to use reverb we write with_fx :reverb as the special code to our block like this: now play this code and you’ll hear it played with reverb. it sounds good, doesn’t it! everything sounds pretty nice with reverb. now let’s look what happens if we have code outside the do/end block: notice how the final play 55 isn’t played with reverb. this is because it is outside the do/end block, so it isn’t captured by the reverb fx. similarly, if you make sounds before the do/end block, they also won’t be captured: there are many fx to choose from. how about some echo? one of the powerful aspects of sonic pi’s fx blocks is that they may be passed opts similar to opts we’ve already seen with play and sample. for example a fun echo opt to play with is phase: which represents the duration of a given echo in beats. let’s make the echo slower: let’s also make the echo faster: let’s make the echo take longer to fade away by setting the decay: time to 8 beats: one of the most powerful aspects of the fx blocks is that you can nest them. this allows you to very easily chain fx together. for example, what if you wanted to play some code with echo and then with reverb? easy, just put one inside the other: think about the audio flowing from the inside out. the sound of all the code within the inner do/end block such as play 50 is first sent to the echo fx and the sound of the echo fx is in turn sent out to the reverb fx. we may use very deep nestings for crazy results. however, be warned, the fx can use a lot of resources and when you nest them you’re effectively running multiple fx simultaneously. so be sparing with your use of fx especially on low powered platforms such as the raspberry pi. sonic pi ships with a large number of fx for you to play with. to find out which ones are available, click on fx in the far left of this help system and you’ll see a list of available options. here’s a list of some of my favourites: now go crazy and add fx everywhere for some amazing new sounds! although they look deceptively simple on the outside, fx are actually quite complex beasts internally. their simplicity often entices people to overuse them in their pieces. this may be fine if you have a powerful machine, but if   like me   you use a raspberry pi to jam with, you need to be careful about how much work you ask it to do if you want to ensure the beats keep flowing. consider this code: in this code we’re playing note 60 with a very short release time, so it’s a short note. we also want reverb so we’ve wrapped it in a reverb block. all good so far. except… let’s look at what the code does. first we have a loop which means everything inside of it is repeated forever. next we have a with_fx block. this means we will create a new reverb fx every time we loop. this is like having a separate fx reverb pedal for every time you pluck a string on a guitar. it’s cool that you can do this, but it’s not always what you want. for example, this code will struggle to run nicely on a raspberry pi. all the work of creating the reverb and then waiting until it needs to be stopped and removed is all handled by with_fx for you, but this takes cpu power which may be precious. how do we make it more similar to a traditional setup where our guitarist has just one reverb pedal which all sounds pass through? simple: we put our loop inside the with_fx block. this way we only create a single reverb for all notes played in our loop. this code is a lot more efficient and would work fine on a raspberry pi. a compromise is to use with_fx over an iteration within a loop: this way we’ve lifted the with_fx out of the inner part of the loop and we’re now creating a new reverb every 16 notes. this is such a common pattern that with_fx supports an opt to do exactly this but without having to write the 16.times block: both the reps: 16 and 16.times do examples will behave identically. the reps: 16 essentially repeats the code in the do/end block 16 times so you can use them both interchangeably and choose the one that feels best for you. remember, there are no mistakes, just possibilities. however, some of these approaches will have a different sound and also different performance characteristics. so play around and use the approach that sounds best to you whilst also working within the performance constraints of your platform. so far we’ve looked at how you can trigger synths and samples, and also how to change their default opts such as amplitude, pan, envelope settings and more. each sound triggered is essentially its own sound with its own list of options set for the duration of the sound. wouldn’t it also be cool if you could change a sound’s opts whilst it’s still playing, just like you might bend a string of a guitar whilst it’s still vibrating? you’re in luck   this section will show you how to do exactly this. so far we’ve only concerned ourselves with triggering new sounds and fx. however, sonic pi gives us the ability to manipulate and control currently running sounds. we do this by using a variable to capture a reference to a synth: here, we have a run local variable s which represents the synth playing note 60. note that this is run local   you can’t access it from other runs like functions. once we have s, we can start controlling it via the control function: the thing to notice is that we’re not triggering 4 different synths here   we’re just triggering one synth and then change the pitch 3 times afterwards, while it’s playing. we can pass any of the standard opts to control, so you can control things like amp:, cutoff: or pan:. some of the opts can’t be controlled once the synth has started. this is the case for all the adsr envelope parameters. you can find out which opts are controllable by looking at their documentation in the help system. if the documentation says can not be changed once set, you know it’s not possible to control the opt after the synth has started. it is also possible to control fx, although this is achieved in a slightly different way: instead of using a variable, we use the goalpost parameters of the do/end block. inside the | bars, we need to specify a unique name for our running fx which we then reference from the containing do/end block. this behaviour is identical to using parameterised functions. now go and control some synths and fx! whilst exploring the synth and fx opts, you might have noticed that there are a number of opts ending with _slide. you might have even tried calling them and seeing no effect. this is because they’re not normal parameters, they’re special opts that only work when you control synths as introduced in the previous section. consider the following example: here, you can hear the synth pitch changing immediately on each control call. however, we might want the pitch to slide between changes. as we’re controlling the note: parameter, to add slide, we need to set the note_slide parameter of the synth: now we hear the notes being bent between the control calls. it sounds nice, doesn’t it? you can speed up the slide by using a shorter time such as note_slide: 0.2 or slow it down by using a longer slide time. every parameter that can be controlled has a corresponding _slide parameter for you to play with. once you’ve set a _slide parameter on a running synth, it will be remembered and used every time you slide the corresponding parameter. to stop sliding you must set the _slide value to 0 before the next control call. it is also possible to slide fx opts: now have fun sliding things around for smooth transitions and flowing control… a very useful tool in a programmer’s toolkit is a data structure. sometimes you may wish to represent and use more than one thing. for example, you may find it useful to have a series of notes to play one after another. programming languages have data structures to allow you do exactly this. there are many exciting and exotic data structures available to programmers   and people are always inventing new ones. however, for now we only really need to consider a very simple data structure   the list. let’s look at it in more detail. we’ll cover its basic form and then also how lists can be used to represent scales and chords. in this section we’ll take a look at a data structure which is very useful   the list. we met it very briefly before in the section on randomisation when we randomly chose from a list of notes to play: in this section we’ll explore using lists to also represent chords and scales. first let’s recap how we might play a chord. remember that if we don’t use sleep, sounds all happen at the same time: let’s look at other ways to represent this code. one option is to place all the notes in a list: [52, 55, 59]. our friendly play function is smart enough to know how to play a list of notes. try it: ooh, that’s already nicer to read. playing a list of notes doesn’t stop you from using any of the parameters as normal: of course, you can also use the traditional note names instead of the midi numbers: now those of you lucky enough to have studied some music theory might recognise that chord as e minor played in the 3rd octave. another very useful feature of a list is the ability to get information out of it. this may sound a bit strange, but it’s no more complicated than someone asking you to turn a book to page 23. with a list, you’d say, what’s the element at index 23? the only strange thing is that in programming indexes usually start at 0 not 1. with list indexes we don’t count 1, 2, 3… instead we count 0, 1, 2… let’s look at this in a little more detail. take a look at this list: there’s nothing especially scary about this. now, what’s the second element in that list? yes, of course, it’s 55. that was easy. let’s see if we can get the computer to answer it for us too: ok, that looks a bit weird if you’ve never seen anything like it before. trust me though, it’s not too hard. there are three parts to the line above: the word puts , our list 52, 55, 59 and our index [1]. firstly we’re saying puts because we want sonic pi to print the answer out for us in the log. next, we’re giving it our list, and finally our index is asking for the second element. we need to surround our index with square brackets and because counting starts at 0, the index for the second element is 1. look: try running the code puts [52, 55, 59][1] and you’ll see 55 pop up in the log. change the index 1 to other indexes, try longer lists and think about how you might use a list in your next code jam. for example, what musical structures might be represented as a series of numbers… sonic pi has built in support for chord names which will return lists. try it for yourself: now, we’re really getting somewhere. that looks a lot more pretty than the raw lists (and is easier to read for other people). so what other chords does sonic pi support? well, a lot. try some of these: we can easily turn chords into arpeggios with the function play_pattern: ok, that’s not so fun   it played it really slowly. play_pattern will play each note in the list separated with a call to sleep 1 between each call to play. we can use another function play_pattern_timed to specify our own timings and speed things up: we can even pass a list of times which it will treat as a circle of times: this is the equivalent to: which would you prefer to write? sonic pi has support for a wide range of scales. how about playing a c3 major scale? we can even ask for more octaves: how about all the notes in a pentatonic scale? chords and scales are great ways of constraining a random choice to something meaningful. have a play with this example which picks random notes from the chord e3 minor: try switching in different chord names and cutoff ranges. to find out which scales and chords are supported by sonic pi simply click the lang button on the far left of this tutorial and then choose either chord or scale in the api list. in the information in the main panel, scroll down until you see a long list of chords or scales (depending on which you’re looking at). have fun and remember: there are no mistakes, only opportunities. an interesting spin on standard lists are rings. if you know some programming, you might have come across ring buffers or ring arrays. here, we’ll just go for ring   it’s short and simple. in the previous section on lists we saw how we could fetch elements out of them by using the indexing mechanism: now, what happens if you want index 100? well, there’s clearly no element at index 100 as the list has only three elements in it. so sonic pi will return you nil which means nothing. however, consider you have a counter such as the current beat which continually increases. let’s create our counter and our list: we can now use our counter to access a note in our list: great, we got 52. now, let’s increment our counter and get another note: super, we now get 55 and if we do it again we get 59. however, if we do it again, we’ll run out of numbers in our list and get nil. what if we wanted to just loop back round and start at the beginning of the list again? this is what rings are for. we can create rings one of two ways. either we use the ring function with the elements of the ring as parameters: or we can take a normal list and convert it to a ring by sending it the .ring message: once we have a ring, you can use it in exactly the same way you would use a normal list with the exception that you can use indexes that are negative or larger than the size of the ring and they’ll wrap round to always point at one of the ring’s elements: let’s say we’re using a variable to represent the current beat number. we can use this as an index into our ring to fetch notes to play, or release times or anything useful we’ve stored in our ring regardless of the beat number we’re currently on. a useful thing to know is that the lists returned by scale and chord are also rings and allow you to access them with arbitrary indexes. in addition to ring there are a number of other functions which will construct a ring for us. take a look at their respective documentation for more information. in addition to the constructors such as range and spread another way of creating new rings is to manipulate existing rings. to explore this, take a simple ring: what if we wanted it backwards? well we’d use the chain command .reverse to take the ring and turn it around: now, what if we wanted the first three values from the ring? finally, what if we wanted to shuffle the ring? this is already a powerful way of creating new rings. however, the real power comes when you chain a few of these commands together. how about shuffling the ring, dropping 1 element and then taking the next 3? let’s take this in stages: can you see how we can just create a long chain of these methods by just sticking them together. we can combine these in any order we want creating an extremely rich and powerful way of generating new rings from existing ones. these rings have a powerful and important property. they are immutable which means that they can not change. this means that the chaining methods described in this section do not change rings rather they create new rings. this means you’re free to share rings across threads and start chaining them within a thread knowing you won’t be affecting any other thread using the same ring. here’s a list of the available chain methods for you to play with: of course, those chain methods that take numbers can take other numbers too! so feel free to call .drop(5) instead of .drop(3) if you want to drop the first 5 elements. one of the most exciting aspects of sonic pi is that it enables you to write and modify code live to make music, just like you might perform live with a guitar. one advantage of this approach is to give you more feedback whilst composing (get a simple loop running and keep tweaking it till it sounds just perfect). however, the main advantage is that you can take sonic pi on stage and gig with it. in this section we’ll cover the fundamentals of turning your static code compositions into dynamic performances. hold on to your seats… now we’ve learned enough to really start having some fun. in this section we’ll draw from all the previous sections and show you how you can start making your music compositions live and turning them into a performance. for that we’ll need 3 main ingredients: alrighty, let’s get started. let’s live code our first sounds. we first need a function containing the code we want to play. let’s start simple. we also want to loop calls to that function in a thread: if that looks a little too complicated to you, go back and re read the sections on functions and threads. it’s not too complicated if you’ve already wrapped your head around these things. what we have here is a function definition which just plays note 50 and sleeps for a beat. we then define a named thread called :looper which just loops around calling my_sound repeatedly. if you run this code, you’ll hear note 50 repeating again and again… now, this is where the fun starts. whilst the code is still running change 50 to another number, say 55, then press the run button again. woah! it changed! live! it didn’t add a new layer because we’re using named threads which only allow one thread for each name. also, the sound changed because we redefined the function. we gave :my_sound a new definition. when the :looper thread looped around it simply called the new definition. try changing it again, change the note, change the sleep time. how about adding a use_synth statement? for example, change it to: now it sounds pretty interesting, but we can spice it up further. instead of playing the same note again and again, try playing a chord: how about playing random notes from the chord: or using a random cutoff value: finally, add some drums: now things are getting exciting! however, before you jump up and start live coding with functions and threads, stop what you’re doing and read the next section on live_loop which will change the way you code in sonic pi forever… ok, so this section of the tutorial is the real gem. if you only read one section, it should be this one. if you read the previous section on live coding fundamentals, live_loop is a simple way of doing exactly that but without having to write so much. if you didn’t read the previous section, live_loop is the best way to jam with sonic pi. let’s play. write the following in a new buffer: now press the run button. you hear a basic beep every beat. nothing fun there. however, don’t press stop just yet. change the 60 to 65 and press run again. woah! it changed automatically without missing a beat. this is live coding. why not change it to be more bass like? just update your code whilst it’s playing: then hit run. let’s make the cutoff move around: hit run again. add some drums: change the note from e1 to c1: now stop listening to me and play around yourself! have fun! consider the following live loop: you may have wondered why it needs the name :foo. this name is important because it signifies that this live loop is different from all other live loops. there can never be two live loops running with the same name. this means that if we want multiple concurrently running live loops, we just need to give them different names: you can now update and change each live loop independently and it all just works. one thing you might have already noticed is that live loops work automatically with the thread cue mechanism we explored previously. every time the live loop loops, it generates a new cue event with the name of the live loop. we can therefore sync on these cues to ensure our loops are in sync without having to stop anything. consider this badly synced code: let’s see if we can fix the timing and sync without stopping it. first, let’s fix the :foo loop to make the sleep a factor of 1   something like 0.5 will do: we’re not quite finished yet though   you’ll notice that the beats don’t quite line up correctly. this is because the loops are out of phase. let’s fix that by syncing one to the other: wow, everything is now perfectly in time   all without stopping. now, go forth and live code with live loops! something you’ll likely find yourself doing a lot when live coding is looping through rings. you’ll be putting notes into rings for melodies, sleeps for rhythms, chord progressions, timbral variations, etc. etc. sonic pi provides a very handy tool for working with rings within live_loops. it’s called the tick system. in the section about the rings we were talking about the counter that is constantly increasing, like a current beat number. tick just implements this idea. it provides you with the ability to tick through rings. let’s look at an example: this is equivalent to: here, we’re just grabbing the scale e3 minor pentatonic and ticking through each element. this is done by adding .tick to the end of the scale declaration. this tick is local to the live loop, so each live loop can have its own independent tick: you can also call tick as a standard fn and use the value as an index: however, it is much nicer to call .tick at the end. the tick fn is for when you want to do fancy things with the tick value and for when you want to use ticks for other things than indexing into rings. the magical thing about tick is that not only does it return a new index (or the value of the ring at that index) it also makes sure that next time you call tick, it’s the next value. take a look at the examples in the docs for tick for many ways of working with this. however, for now, it’s important to point out that sometimes you’ll want to just look at the current tick value and not increase it. this is available via the look fn. you can call look as a standard fn or by adding .look to the end of a ring. finally, sometimes you’ll need more than one tick per live loop. this is achieved by giving your tick a name: here we’re using two ticks one for the note to play and another for the sleep time. as they’re both in the same live loop, to keep them separate we need to give them unique names. this is exactly the same kind of thing as naming live_loops   we just pass a symbol prefixed with a :. in the example above we called one tick :foo and the other :bar. if we want to look at these we also need to pass the name of the tick to look. most of the power in the tick system isn’t useful when you get started. don’t try and learn everything in this section. just focus on ticking through a single ring. that’ll give you most of the joy and simplicity of ticking through rings in your live_loops. take a look at the documentation for tick where there are many useful examples and happy ticking! often it is useful to have information that is shared across multiple threads or live loops. for example, you might want to share a notion of the current key, bpm or even more abstract concepts such as the current ‘complexity’ (which you’d potentially interpret in different ways across different threads). we also don’t want to lose any of our existing determinism guarantees when doing this. in other words, we’d still like to be able to share code with others and know exactly what they’ll hear when they run it. at the end of section 5.6 of this tutorial we briefly discussed why we should not use variables to share information across threads due to a loss of determinism (in turn due to race conditions). sonic pi’s solution to the problem of easily working with global variables in a deterministic way is through a novel system it calls time state. this might sound complex and difficult (in fact, in the uk, programming with multiple threads and shared memory is typically a university level subject). however, as you’ll see, just like playing your first note, sonic pi makes it incredibly simple to share state across threads whilst still keeping your programs thread safe and deterministic.. meet get and set… sonic pi has a global memory store called time state. the two main things you do with it are to set information and get information. let’s dive deeper… to store information into the time state we need two things: for example, we might want to store the number 3000 with the key :intensity. this is possible using the set function: we can use any name for our key. if information has already been stored with that key, our new set will override it: in the above example, as we stored both numbers under the same key, the last call to set ‘wins’, so the number associated with :intensity will be 3000 as the first call to set is effectively overridden. to fetch information from the time state we just need the key we used to set it, which in our case is :intensity. we then just need to call get[:intensity] which we can see by printing out the result to the log: notice that calls to get can return information that was set in a previous run. once a piece of information has been set it is available until either the information is overridden (just like we clobbered the :intensity value of 1000 to 3000 above) or sonic pi is closed. the main benefit of the time state system is that it can be safely used across threads or live loops. for example, you could have one live loop setting information and another one getting it: the nice thing about using get and set across threads like this is that it will always produce the same result every time you hit run. go on, try it. see if you get the following in your log: try running it a few times   see, it’s the same every time. this is what we call deterministic behaviour and it’s really very important when we want to share our music as code and know that the person playing the code is hearing exactly what we wanted them to hear (just like playing an mp3 or internet stream sounds the same for all listeners). back in section 5.6 we discussed why using variables across threads can lead to random behaviour. this stops us from being able to reliably reproduce code such as this: let’s take a look at how this might look using get and set: notice how this code is pretty much identical to the version using a variable before it. however when you run the code, it behaves as you would expect with any typical sonic pi code   it does the same thing every time in this case thanks to the time state system. therefore, when sharing information across live loops and threads, use get and set instead of variables for deterministic, reproducible behaviour. section 5.7 introduced the functions cue and sync when dealing with the issue of synchronising threads. what it didn’t explain was that it is the time state system which provides this functionality. it just so happens that set is actually a variation of cue and is built on top of the same core functionality which is to insert information into the time state system. additionally, sync is also designed in such a way that it works seamlessly with time state   any information that we plan to store in time state we can sync on. in other words   we sync on events yet to be inserted into time state. let’s take a quick look at how to use sync to wait for new events to be added to time state: in this example first we create a thread which waits for a :foo event to be added to the time state. after this thread declaration we sleep for 2 beats and then set :foo to be 1. this then releases the sync which then moves to the next line which is to trigger the :ambi_lunar_land sample. note that sync always waits for future events and that it will block the current thread waiting for a new event. also, it will inherit the logical time of the thread which triggered it via set or cue so it may also be used to sync time. in the example above we set :foo to 1 which we did nothing with. we can actually get this value from the thread calling sync: note that values that are passed through set and cue must be thread safe   i.e. immutable rings, numbers, symbols or frozen strings. sonic pi will throw an error if the value you are attempting to store in the time state is not valid. when getting and setting information into the time state, it’s possible to use more complex keys than basic symbols such as :foo and :bar. you can also use url style strings called paths such as "/foo/bar/baz". once we start working with paths, we can then start taking advantage of sonic pi’s sophisticated pattern matching system to get and sync with ‘similar’ rather than ‘identical’ paths. let’s take a look. let’s assume we want to wait for the next event that has three path segments: this will match any time state event with exactly three path segments, regardless of their names. for example: however, it will not match paths with fewer or more path segments. the following will not match: each * means any content. so we could match paths with just one segment with /* or paths with five segments with /*/*/*/*/* if we know what the segment is going to start or finish with, we can use a * in addition to a partial segment name. for example: "/foo/b*/baz" will match any path that has three segments, the first of which is foo, the last baz and the middle segment can be anything that starts with b. so, it would match: however, it wouldn’t match the following: you can also place the * at the start of the segment to specify the last characters of a segment: "/foo/*zz/baz" which will match any 3 segment cue or set where the first segment is foo, the last is baz and the middle segment ends with zz such as "cue "/foo/whizz/baz". sometimes you don’t know how many path segments you want to match. in these cases you can use the powerful double star: ** such as "/foo/**/baz" which will match: you can use the ? character to match against a single char such as "/?oo/bar/baz" which will match: if you know that a segment may be one of a select number of words, you can use the { and } matchers to specify a list of choices such as "/foo/{bar,beans,eggs}/quux" which will only match the following: finally, you can match against a selection of letters if you use the [ and ] matchers to specify a list of choices such as "/foo/[abc]ux/baz" which will match only: you can also use the   character to specify ranges of letters. for example "/foo/[a e]ux/baz" which will match only: when calling sync or get you are free to combine matchers in any order you see fit to powerfully match any time state event created by cue or set. let’s look at a crazy example: for those curious, these matching rules are based on the open sound control pattern matching specification which is explained in detail here: http://opensoundcontrol.org/spec 1_0 once you’ve mastered converting code to music, you might wonder   what’s next? sometimes the constraints of working purely within sonic pi’s syntax and sound system can be exciting and put you into a new creative position. however, sometimes it is essential to break out of the code into the real world. we want two extra things: luckily there’s a protocol that’s been around since the 80s that enables exactly this kind of interaction   midi. there’s an incredible number of external devices including keyboards, controllers, sequencers, and pro audio software that all support midi. we can use midi to receive data and also use it to send data. sonic pi provides full support for the midi protocol enabling you to connect your live code to the real world. let’s explore it further… in this section we will learn how to connect a midi controller to send events into sonic pi to control our synths and sounds. go and grab a midi controller such as a keyboard or control surface and let’s get physical! in order to get information from an external midi device into sonic pi we first need to connect it to our computer. typically this will be via a usb connection, although older equipment will have a 5 pin din connector for which you’ll need hardware support for your computer (for example, some sound cards have midi din connectors). once you’ve connected your device, launch sonic pi and take a look at the io section of the preferences panel. you should see your device listed there. if not, try hitting the ‘reset midi’ button and see if it appears. if you’re still not seeing anything, the next thing to try is to consult your operating system’s midi config to see if it sees your device. failing all that, feel free to ask questions in the public chat room: http://gitter.im/samaaron/sonic pi once your device is connected, sonic pi will automatically receive events. you can see for yourself by manipulating your midi device and looking at the cue logger in the bottom right of the application window below the log (if this isn’t visible go to preferences >editor >show & hide and enable the ‘show cue log’ tickbox). you’ll see a stream of events such as: once you can see a stream of messages like this, you’ve successfully connected your midi device. congratulations, let’s see what we can do with it! these events are broken into two sections. firstly there’s the name of the event such as /midi:nanokey2_keyboard:0:1/note_on and secondly there’s the values of the event such as [18, 62]. interestingly, these are the two things we need to store information in time state. sonic pi automatically inserts incoming midi events into time state. this means you can get the latest midi value and also sync waiting for the next midi value using everything we learned in section 10 of this tutorial. now we’ve connected a midi device, seen its events in the cue log and discovered that our knowledge of time state is all we need to work with the events, we can now start having fun. let’s build a simple midi piano: there’s a few things going on in the code above including some issues. firstly, we have a simple live_loop which will repeat forever running the code between the do/end block. this was introduced in section 9.2. secondly, we’re calling sync to wait for the next matching time state event. we use a string representing the midi message we’re looking for (which is the same as was displayed in the cue logger). notice that this long string is provided to you by sonic pi’s autocompletion system, so you don’t have to type it all out by hand. in the log we saw that there were two values for each midi note on event, so we assign the result to two separate variables note and velocity. finally we trigger the :piano synth passing our note. now, you try it. type in the code above, replace the sync key with a string matching your specific midi device and hit run. hey presto, you have a working piano! however, you’ll probably notice a couple of problems: firstly all the notes are the same volume regardless of how hard you hit the keyboard. this can be easily fixed by using the velocity midi value and converting it to an amplitude. given that midi has a range of 0 >127, to convert this number to a value between 0 >1 we just need to divide it by 127: update the code and hit run again. now the velocity of the keyboard is honoured. next, let’s get rid of that pesky pause. before we can remove the pause, we need to know why it’s there. in order to keep all the synths and fx well timed across a variety of differently capable cpus, sonic pi schedules the audio in advance by 0.5s by default. (note that this added latency can be configured via the fns set_sched_ahead_time! and use_sched_ahead_time). this 0.5s latency is being added to our :piano synth triggers as it is added to all synths triggered by sonic pi. typically we really want this added latency as it means all synths will be well timed. however, this only makes sense for synths triggered by code using play and sleep. in this case, we’re actually triggering the :piano synth with our external midi device and therefore don’t want sonic pi to control the timing for us. we can turn off this latency with the command use_real_time which disables the latency for the current thread. this means you can use real time mode for live loops that have their timing controlled by syncing with external devices, and keep the default latency for all other live loops. let’s see: update your code to match the code above and hit run again. now we have a low latency piano with variable velocity coded in just 5 lines. wasn’t that easy! finally, as our midi events are going straight into the time state, we can also use the get fn to retrieve the last seen value. this doesn’t block the current thread and returns nil if there’s no value to be found (which you can override by passing a default value   see the docs for get). remember that you can call get in any thread at any time to see the latest matching time state value. you can even use time_warp to jump back in time and call get to see past events… the exciting thing now is that you can now use the same code structures to sync and get midi information from any midi device and do whatever you want with the values. you can now choose what your midi device will do! in addition to receiving midi events we can also send out midi events to trigger and control external hardware synths, keyboards and other devices. sonic pi provides a full set of fns for sending various midi messages such as: there are many other supported midi messages too   check out the api documentation for all the other fns that start with midi_. in order to send a midi message to an external device, we must first have connected it. check out the subsection ‘connecting a midi controller’ in section 11.1 for further details. note that if you’re using usb, connecting to a device which you’re sending to (rather than receiving from) is the same procedure. however, if you’re using the classic din connectors, make sure you connect to the midi out port of your computer. you should see your midi device listed in the preferences pane. the many midi_* fns work just like play, sample and synth in that they send a message at the current (logical) time. for example, to spread out calls to the midi_* fns you need to use sleep just like you did with play. let’s take a look: this will send a midi note on event to the connected midi device with velocity 50. (note that sonic pi will automatically convert notes in the form :e3 to their corresponding midi number such as 52 in this case.) if your connected midi device is a synthesiser, you should be able to hear it playing a note. to disable it use midi_note_off: by default, sonic pi will send each midi message to all connected devices on all midi channels. this is to make it easy to work with a single connected device without having to configure anything. however, sometimes a midi device will treat midi channels in a special way (perhaps each note has a separate channel) and also you may wish to connect more than one midi device at the same time. in more complicated setups, you may wish to be more selective about which midi device receives which message(s) and on which channel. we can specify which device to send to using the port: opt, using the device name as displayed in the preferences: we can also specify which channel to send to using the channel: opt (using a value in the range 1 16): of course we can also specify both at the same time to send to a specific device on a specific channel: finally, a really fun thing to do is to connect the audio output of your midi synthesiser to one of the audio inputs of your soundcard. you can then control your synth with code using the midi_* fns and also manipulate the audio using live_audio and fx: (the fn midi is available as a handy shortcut to sending both note on and note off events with a single command. check out its documentation for further information). in addition to midi, another way to get information in and out of sonic pi is via the network using a simple protocol called osc   open sound control. this will let you send messages to and from external programs (both running on your computer and on external computers) which opens up the potential for control way beyond midi which has limitations due to its 1980s design. for example, you could write a program in another programming language which sends and receives osc (there are osc libraries for pretty much every common language) and work directly with sonic pi. what you can use this for is only limited by your imagination. by default when sonic pi is launched it listens to port 4560 for incoming osc messages from programs on the same computer. this means that without any configuration, you can send sonic pi an osc message and it will be displayed in the cue log just like incoming midi messages. this also means that any incoming osc message is also automatically added to the time state which means you can also use get and sync to work with the incoming data   just like with midi and synchronising live_loops   see sections 5.7 and 10.2 to recap how this works. let’s build a basic osc listener: in this example we described an osc path "/osc*/trigger/prophet" which we’re syncing on. this can be any valid osc path (all letters and numbers are supported and the / is used like in a url to break up the path to multiple words). the /osc prefix is added by sonic pi to all incoming osc messages, so we need to send an osc message with the path /trigger/prophet for our sync to stop blocking and the prophet synth to be triggered. we can send osc to sonic pi from any programming language that has an osc library. for example, if we’re sending osc from python we might do something like this: or, if we’re sending osc from clojure we might do something like this from the repl: for security reasons, by default sonic pi does not let remote machines send it osc messages. however, you can enable support for remote machines in preferences >io >network >receive remote osc messages. once you’ve enabled this, you can receive osc messages from any computer on your network. typically the sending machine will need to know your ip address (a unique identifier for your computer on your network   kind of like a phone number or an email address). you can discover the ip address of your computer by looking at the io section of the preferences pane. (if your machine happens to have more than one ip address, hovering the mouse over the listed address will pop up with a list of all known addresses). note, some programs such as touchosc for iphone and android support sending osc as a standard feature. so, once you’re listening to remote machines and know your ip address you can instantly start sending messages from apps like touchosc which enable you to build your own custom touch controls with sliders, buttons, dials etc. this can provide you with an enormous range of input options. in addition to receiving osc and working with it using time state, we can also send out osc messages in time with our music (just like we can send out midi messages in time with our music). we just need to know which ip address and port we’re sending to. let’s give it a try: if you run the code above, you’ll notice that sonic pi is sending itself an osc message! this is because we set the ip address to the current machine and the port to the default osc in port. this is essentially the same as posting a letter to yourself   the osc packet is created, leaves sonic pi, gets to the network stack of the operating system which then routes the packed back to sonic pi and then it’s received as a standard osc message and is visible in the cue logger as the incoming message /osc:127.0.0.1:4560/hello/world. (notice how sonic pi automatically prefixes all incoming osc messages with /osc and then the hostname and port of the sender.) of course, sending osc messages to ourselves may be fun but it’s not that useful. the real benefit starts when we send messages to other programs: in this case we’re assuming there’s another program on the same machine listening to port 123456. if there is, then it will receive a "/hello/world osc message with which it can do what it wants. if our program is running on another machine, we need to know its ip address which we use instead of "localhost": now we can send osc messages to any device reachable to us via our local networks and even the internet! so far, in terms of sound production, we’ve explored triggering synths and recorded sounds via the fns play, synth and sample. these have then generated audio which has played through our stereo speaker system. however, many computers also have the ability to input sound, perhaps through a microphone, in addition to the ability to send sound out to more than two speakers. often, this capability is made possible through the use of an external sound card   these are available for all platforms. in this section of the tutorial we’ll take a look at how we can take advantage of these external sound cards and effortlessly work with multiple channels of audio in and out of sonic pi. one simple (and perhaps familiar) way of accessing sound inputs is using our friend synth by specifying the :sound_in synth: this will operate just like any synth such as synth :dsaw with the exception that the audio generated will be read directly from the first input of your system’s sound card. on laptops, this is typically the built in microphone, but if you have an external sound card, you can plug any audio input to the first input. one thing you might notice is that just like synth :dsaw the :sound_in synth only lasts for 1 beat as it has a standard envelope. if you’d like to keep it open for a little longer, change the adsr envelope settings. for example the following will keep the synth open for 8 beats before closing the connection: of course, just like any normal synth, you can easily layer on effects with the fx block: if you have plugged in a guitar to your first input, you should be able to hear it with distortion and reverb until the synth terminates as expected. you are free to use the :sound_in synth as many times as you like concurrently (just like you would do with any normal synth). for example, the following will play two :sound_in synths at the same time   one through distortion and one through reverb: you can select which audio input you want to play with the input: opt. you can also specify a stereo input (two consecutive inputs) using the :sound_in_stereo synth. for example, if you have a sound card with at least three inputs, you can treat the first two as a stereo stream and add distortion and the third as a mono stream and add reverb with the following code: however, although this is a useful technique, there are a couple of limitations to this approach. firstly, it only works for a specific duration (due to it having an adsr envelope) and secondly, there’s no way to switch the fx around once the synth has been triggered. both of these things are typical requests when working with external audio feeds such as microphones, guitars and external synthesisers. we’ll therefore take a look at sonic pi’s solution to the problem of manipulating a (potentially) infinite stream of live audio input: live_audio. the :sound_in synth as described in the previous section provides a very flexible and familiar method for working with input audio. however, as also discussed it has a few issues when working with a single input of audio as a single instrument (such as a voice or guitar). by far the best approach to working with a single continuous stream of audio is to use live_audio. live_audio shares a couple of core design constraints with live_loop (hence the similar name). firstly it must have a unique name and secondly only one live_audio stream with that name may exist at any one time. let’s take a look: this code will act in a similar fashion to synth :sound_in with some key differences: it runs forever (until you explicitly stop it) and you can move it to new fx contexts dynamically. on initial triggering live_audio works exactly as you might expect it to work with fx. for example, to start a live audio stream with added reverb simply use a :reverb fx block: however, given that live_audio runs forever (at least until you stop it) it would be pretty limiting if, like typical synths, the live audio was bound within the :reverb fx for its entire existence. luckily this is not the case and it was designed to be easy to move between different fx. let’s try it. run the code above to hear live audio coming directly from the first input of your sound card. note, if you’re using a laptop, this will typically be out of your built in microphone, so it’s recommended to use headphones to stop feedback. now, whilst you’re still hearing the audio live from the sound card with reverb, change the code to the following: now, hit run, and you’ll immediately hear the audio played through the echo fx and no longer through reverb. if you wanted them both, just edit the code again and hit run: it’s important to point out that you can call live_audio :foo from any thread or live loop and it will move the live audio synth to that thread’s current fx context. you could therefore easily have multiple live loops calling live_audio :foo at different times resulting in the fx context being automatically swapped around for some interesting results. unlike standard synths, as live_audio has no envelope, it will continue running forever (even if you delete the code, just like a function is still defined in memory if you delete the code in the editor). to stop it, you need to use the :stop arg: it can easily be restarted by calling it without the :stop arg again: additionally all running live audio synths are stopped when you hit the global stop button (as with all other running synths and fx). with respect to audio channels, by default live_audio acts similarly to the :sound_in synth in that it takes a single mono input stream of audio and converts it to a stereo stream using the specified panning. however, just like :sound_in_stereo it’s also possible to tell live_audio to read two consecutive audio inputs and treat them as the left and right channels directly. this is achieved via the :stereo opt. for example, to treat input 2 as the left signal and input 3 as the right signal, you need to configure the input: opt to 2 and enable stereo mode as follows: note that once you have started a live audio stream in stereo mode, you cannot change it to mono without stopping and starting. similarly, if you start it in the default mono mode, you can’t switch to stereo without starting and stopping the stream. so far in this section we’ve looked at how to get multiple streams of audio into sonic pi   either through the use of the :sound_in synth or via the powerful live_audio system. in addition to working with multiple streams of input audio, sonic pi can also output multiple streams of audio. this is achieved via the :sound_out fx. let’s quickly recap on how sonic pi’s synths and fx output their audio to their current fx context. for example, consider the following: the simplest way to understand what’s happening with the audio stream is to start at the innermost audio context and work our way out. in this case, the innermost context is labelled a and is the :bd_haus sample being triggered. the audio for this goes directly into its context which is b   the :echo fx. this then adds echo to the incoming audio and outputs it to its context which is c   the :reverb fx. this then adds reverb to the incoming audio and outputs to its context which is the top level   the left and right speakers (outputs 1 and 2 in your audio card). the audio flows outwards with a stereo signal all the way through. the above behaviour is true for all synths (including live_audio) and the majority of fx with the exception of :sound_out. the :sound_out fx does two things. firstly it outputs its audio to its external context as described above. secondly it also outputs its audio directly to an output on your sound card. let’s take a look: in this example, our :bd_haus sample outputs its audio to its external context which is the :sound_out fx. this in turn outputs its audio to its external context the :reverb fx (as expected). however, it also outputs a mono mix to the 3rd output of the system’s soundcard. the audio generated within :sound_out therefore has two destinations   the :reverb fx and audio card output 3. as we’ve seen, by default, the :sound_out fx outputs a mono mix of the stereo input to a specific channel in addition to passing the stereo feed to the outer context (as expected). if outputting a mono mix isn’t precisely what you want to do, there are a number of alternative options. firstly, by using the mode: opt you can choose to output just the left or just the right input signal to the audio card. or you can use the :sound_out_stereo fx to output to two consecutive sound card outputs. see the function documentation for more information and examples. as we have also seen, the default behaviour for :sound_out and :sound_out_stereo is to send the audio both to their external context (as is typical of all fx) and to the specified output on your soundcard. however, occasionally you may wish to only send to the output on your soundcard and not to the external context (and therefore not have any chance of the sound being mixed and sent to the standard output channels 1 and 2). this is possible by using the standard fx opt amp: which operates on the audio after the fx has been able to manipulate the audio: in the above example, the :loop_amen sample is sent to its outer context, the :sound_out fx. this then sends a mono mix to audio card output 3 and then multiplies the audio by 0 which essentially silences it. it is this silenced signal which is then sent out to the :sound_out’s outer context which is the standard output. therefore with this code, the default output channels will not receive any audio, and channel 3 will receive a mono mix of the amen drum break. this concludes the sonic pi introductory tutorial. hopefully you’ve learned something along the way. don’t worry if you feel you didn’t understand everything   just play and have fun and you’ll pick things up in your own time. feel free to dive back in when you have a question that might be covered in one of the sections. if you have any questions that haven’t been covered in the tutorial, then please jump onto the sonic pi community forums and ask your question there. you’ll find someone friendly and willing to lend a hand. finally, i also invite you to take a deeper look at the rest of the documentation in this help system. there are a number of features that haven’t been covered in this tutorial that are waiting for your discovery. so play, have fun, share your code, perform for your friends, show your screens and remember: there are no mistakes, only opportunities. sam aaron appendix a collects all the sonic pi articles written for the magpi magazine. these articles aren’t meant to be read in any strict order and contain a lot of cross over material from the tutorial itself. rather than try and teach you all of sonic pi, they instead each focus on a specific aspect of sonic pi and cover it in a fun and accessible way. you can see them in their glorious professionally typeset form in the free pdf downloads of the magpi here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/ if you don’t see a topic that interests you covered in these articles   why not suggest one? the easiest way to do that is to tweet your suggestion to @sonic_pi. you never know   your suggestion might be the subject of the next article! the most important lesson to learn with sonic pi is that there really are no mistakes. the best way to learn is to just try and try and try. try lots of different things out, stop worrying whether your code sounds good or not and start experimenting with as many different synths, notes, fx and opts as possible. you’ll discover a lot of things that make you laugh because they sound just awful and some real gems that sound truly amazing. simply drop the things you don’t like and keep the things you do. the more ‘mistakes’ you allow yourself to make the quicker you’ll learn and discover your personal coding sound. say you’ve already mastered the sonic pi basics of making sounds with sample, play? what’s next? did you know that sonic pi supports over 27 studio fx to change the sound of your code? fx are like fancy image filters in drawing programs except that instead of blurring or making something black and white, you can add things like reverb, distortion and echo to your sound. think of it like sticking the cable from your guitar to an effects pedal of your choice and then into the amplifier. luckily, sonic pi makes using fx really easy and requires no cables! all you need to do is to choose which section of your code you’d like the fx added to and wrap it with the fx code. let’s look at an example. say you had the following code: if you wanted to add fx to the :loop_garzul sample, you’d just tuck it inside a with_fx block like this: now, if you wanted to add fx to the bass drum, go and wrap that with with_fx too: remember, you can wrap any code within with_fx and any sounds created will pass through that fx. in order to really discover your coding sound you’ll soon want to know how to modify and control synths and fx. for example, you might want to change the duration of a note, add more reverb, or change the time between echoes. luckily, sonic pi gives you an amazing level of control to do exactly this with special things called optional parameters or opts for short. let’s take a quick look. copy this code into a workspace and hit run: ooh, a lovely guitar sound! now, let’s start playing with it. how about changing its rate? hey, what’s that rate: 0.5 bit i just added at the end? that’s called an opt. all of sonic pi’s synths and fx support them and there’s loads to play around with. they’re also available for fx too. try this: now, try increasing that feedback to 1 to hear some crazy sounds! read the docs for full details on all the many opts available to you. the best way to quickly experiment and explore sonic pi is to live code. this allows you to start off some code and continually change and tweak it whilst it’s still playing. for example, if you don’t know what the cutoff parameter does to a sample, just play around. let’s have a try! copy this code into one of your sonic pi workspaces: now, hit run and you’ll hear a slightly muffled drum break. now, change the cutoff: value to 80 and hit run again. can you hear the difference? try 90, 100, 110… once you get the hang of using live_loops you’ll not turn back. whenever i do a live coding gig i rely on live_loop as much as a drummer relies on their sticks. for more information about live coding check out section 9 of the built in tutorial. finally, one thing i love doing is cheating by getting sonic pi to compose things for me. a really great way to do this is using randomisation. it might sound complicated but it really isn’t. let’s take a look. copy this into a spare workspace: now, when you play this, you’ll hear a constant stream of random notes from the scale :e2 :minor_pentatonic played with the :dsaw synth. “wait, wait! that’s not a melody”, i hear you shout! well, here’s the first part of the magic trick. every time we go round the live_loop we can tell sonic pi to reset the random stream to a known point. this is a bit like going back in time in the tardis with the doctor to a particular point in time and space. let’s try it   add the line use_random_seed 1 to the live_loop: now, every time the live_loop loops around, the random stream is reset. this means it chooses the same 16 notes every time. hey presto! an instant melody. now, here’s the really exciting bit. change the seed value from 1 to another number. say 4923. wow! another melody! so, just by changing one number (the random seed), you can explore as many melodic combinations as you can imagine! now, that’s the magic of code. the laser beams sliced through the wafts of smoke as the subwoofer pumped bass deep into the bodies of the crowd. the atmosphere was ripe with a heady mix of synths and dancing. however something wasn’t quite right in this nightclub. projected in bright colours above the dj booth was futuristic text, moving, dancing, flashing. this wasn’t fancy visuals, it was merely a projection of sonic pi running on a raspberry pi. the occupant of the dj booth wasn’t spinning disks, he was writing, editing and evaluating code. live. this is live coding. this may sound like a far fetched story from a futuristic night club but coding music like this is a growing trend and is often described as live coding (http://toplap.org). one of the recent directions this approach to music making has taken is the algorave (http://algorave.com)   events where artists like myself code music for people to dance to. however, you don’t need to be in a nightclub to live code   with sonic pi v2.6+ you can do it anywhere you can take your raspberry pi and a pair of headphones or some speakers. once you reach the end of this article, you’ll be programming your own beats and modifying them live. where you go afterwards will only be constrained by your imagination. the key to live coding with sonic pi is mastering the live_loop. let’s look at one: there are 4 core ingredients to a live_loop. the first is its name. our live_loop above is called :beats. you’re free to call your live_loop anything you want. go crazy. be creative. i often use names that communicate something about the music they’re making to the audience. the second ingredient is the do word which marks where the live_loop starts. the third is the end word which marks where the live_loop finishes, and finally there is the body of the live_loop which describes what the loop is going to repeat   that’s the bit between the do and end. in this case we’re repeatedly playing a bass drum sample and waiting for half a beat. this produces a nice regular bass beat. go ahead, copy it into an empty sonic pi buffer and hit run. boom, boom, boom!. ok, so what’s so special about the live_loop? so far it just seems like a glorified loop! well, the beauty of live_loops is that you can redefine them on the fly. this means that whilst they’re still running, you can change what they do. this is the secret to live coding with sonic pi. let’s have a play: now press the run button or hit meta r. you’re now listening to some gorgeous choir sounds. now, whilst it’s still playing, change the rate from 0.4 to 0.38. hit run again. woah! did you hear the choir change note? change it back up to 0.4 to return back to how it was. now, drop it to 0.2, down to 0.19 and then back up to 0.4. see how changing just one parameter on the fly can give you real control of the music? now play around with the rate yourself   choose your own values. try negative numbers, really small numbers and large numbers. have fun! one of the most important lessons about live_loops is that they need rest. consider the following live_loop: if you try running this code, you’ll immediately see sonic pi complaining that the live_loop did not sleep. this is a safety system kicking in! take a moment to think about what this code is asking the computer to do. that’s right, it’s asking the computer to play an infinite amount of choir samples in zero time. without the safety system the poor computer will try and do this and crash and burn in the process. so remember, your live_loops must contain a sleep. music is full of things happening at the same time. drums at the same time as bass at the same time as vocals at the same time as guitars… in computing we call this concurrency and sonic pi provides us with an amazingly simple way of playing things at the same time. simply use more than one live_loop! here, we have two live_loops, one looping quickly making beats and another looping slowly making a crazy bass sound. one of the interesting things about using multiple live_loops is that they each manage their own time. this means it’s really easy to create interesting polyrhythmical structures and even play with phasing steve reich style. check this out: in each of these tutorials, we’ll end with a final example in the form of a new piece of music which draws from all of the ideas introduced. read this code and see if you can imagine what it’s doing. then, copy it into a fresh sonic pi buffer and hit run and actually hear what it sounds like. finally, change one of the numbers or comment and uncomment things out. see if you can use this as a starting point for a new performance, and most of all have fun! see you next time… one of the most exciting and disrupting technical developments in modern music was the invention of samplers. these were boxes that allowed you to record any sound into them and then manipulate and play back those sounds in many interesting ways. for example, you could take an old record, find a drum solo (or break), record it into your sampler and then play it back on repeat at half speed to provide the foundation for your latest beats. this is how early hip hop music was born and today it’s almost impossible to find electronic music that doesn’t incorporate samples of some kind. using samples is a really great way of easily introducing new and interesting elements into your live coded performances. so where can you get a sampler? well you already have one   it’s your raspberry pi! the built in live coding app sonic pi has an extremely powerful sampler built into its core. let’s play with it! one of the most classic and recognisable drum break samples is called the amen break. it was first performed in 1969 in the song “amen brother” by the winstons as part of a drum break. however, it was when it was discovered by early hip hop musicians in the 80s and used in samplers that it started being heavily used in a wide variety of other styles such as drum and bass, breakbeat, hardcore techno and breakcore. i’m sure you’re excited to hear that it’s also built right into sonic pi. clear up a buffer and throw in the following code: hit run and boom! you’re listening to one of the most influential drum breaks in the history of dance music. however, this sample wasn’t famous for being played as a one shot, it was built for being looped. let’s loop the amen break by using our old friend the live_loop introduced in this tutorial last month: ok, so it is looping, but there’s an annoying pause every time round. that is because we asked it to sleep for 2 beats and with the default bpm of 60 the :loop_amen sample only lasts for 1.753 beats. we therefore have a silence of 2   1.753 = 0.247 beats. even though it’s short, it’s still noticeable. to fix this issue we can use the beat_stretch: opt to ask sonic pi to stretch (or shrink) the sample to match the specified number of beats. sonic pi’s sample and synth fns give you a lot of control via optional parameters such as amp:, cutoff: and release:. however, the term optional parameter is a real mouthful so we just call them opts to keep things nice and simple. now we’re dancing! although, perhaps we want to speed it up or slow it down to suit the mood. ok, so what if we want to change styles to old school hip hop or breakcore? one simple way of doing this is to play with time   or in other words mess with the tempo. this is super easy in sonic pi   just throw in a use_bpm into your live loop: whilst you’re rapping over those slow beats, notice that we’re still sleeping for 2 and our bpm is 30, yet everything is in time. the beat_stretch opt works with the current bpm to make sure everything just works. now, here’s the fun part. whilst the loop is still live, change the 30 in the use_bpm 30 line to 50. woah, everything just got faster yet kept in time! try going faster   up to 80, to 120, now go crazy and punch in 200! now we can live loop samples, let’s look at some of the most fun opts provided by the sample synth. first up is cutoff: which controls the cutoff filter of the sampler. by default this is disabled but you can easily turn it on: go ahead and change the cutoff: opt. for example, increase it to 100, hit run and wait for the loop to cycle round to hear the change in the sound. notice that low values like 50 sound mellow and bassy and high values like 100 and 120 are more full sounding and raspy. this is because the cutoff: opt will chop out the high frequency parts of the sound just like a lawn mower chops off the top of the grass. the cutoff: opt is like the length setting   determining how much grass is left over. another great tool to play with is the slicer fx. this will chop (slice) the sound up. wrap the sample line with the fx code like this: notice how the sound bounces up and down a little more. (you can hear the original sound without the fx by changing the mix: opt to 0.) now, try playing around with the phase: opt. this is the rate (in beats) of the slicing effect. a smaller value like 0.125 will slice faster and larger values like 0.5 will slice more slowly. notice that successively halving or doubling the phase: opts val tends to always sound good. finally, change the wave: opt to one of 0, 1, or 2 and hear how it changes the sound. these are the various wave shapes. 0 is a saw wave, (hard in, fade out) 1 is a square wave (hard in, hard out) and 2 is a triangle wave (fade in, fade out). finally, let’s go back in time and revisit the early bristol drum and bass scene with this month’s example. don’t worry too much about what all this means, just type it in, hit run, then start live coding it by changing opt numbers and see where you can take it. please do share what you create! see you next time… whether it’s the haunting drift of rumbling oscillators or the detuned punch of saw waves piercing through the mix, the lead synth plays an essential role on any electronic track. in last month’s edition of this tutorial series we covered how to code our beats. in this tutorial we’ll cover how to code up the three core components of a synth riff   the timbre, melody and rhythm. ok, so power up your raspberry pi, crack open sonic pi v2.6+ and let’s make some noise! an essential part of any synth riff is changing and playing with the timbre of the sounds. we can control the timbre in sonic pi in two ways   choosing different synths for a dramatic change and setting the various synth opts for more subtle modifications. we can also use fx, but that’s for another tutorial… let’s create a simple live loop where we continually change the current synth: take a look at the code. we’re simply ticking through a ring of synth names (this will cycle through each of these in turn repeating the list over and over). we pass this synth name to the use_synth fn (function) which will change the live_loop’s current synth. we also play note :e2 (e at the second octave), with a release time of 0.5 beats (half a second at the default bpm of 60) and with the cutoff: opt set to 100. hear how the different synths have very different sounds even though they’re all playing the same note. now experiment and have a play. change the release time to bigger and smaller values. for example, change the attack: and release: opts to see how different fade in/out times have a huge impact on the sound. finally change the cutoff: opt to see how different cutoff values also massively influence the timbre (values between 60 and 130 are good). see how many different sounds you can create by just changing a few values. once you’ve mastered that, just head to the synths tab in the help system for a full list of all the synths and all the available opts each individual synth supports to see just how much power you have under your coding fingertips. timbre is just a fancy word describing the sound of a sound. if you play the same note with different instruments such as a violin, guitar, or piano, the pitch (how high or low it sounds) would be the same, but the sound quality would be different. that sound quality   the thing which allows you to tell the difference between a piano and a guitar is the timbre. another important aspect to our lead synth is the choice of notes we want to play. if you already have a good idea, then you can simply create a ring with your notes in and tick through them: here, we’ve defined our melody with a ring which includes both notes such as :e3 and rests represented by :r. we’re then using .tick to cycle through each note to give us a repeating riff. it’s not always easy to come up with a nice riff from scratch. instead it’s often easier to ask sonic pi for a selection of random riffs and to choose the one you like the best. to do that we need to combine three things: rings, randomisation and random seeds. let’s look at an example: there’s a few things going on   let’s look at them in turn. first, we specify that we’re using random seed 3. what does this mean? well, the useful thing is that when we set the seed, we can predict what the next random value is going to be   it’s the same as it was last time we set the seed to 3! another useful thing to know is that shuffling a ring of notes works in the same way. in the example above we’re essentially asking for the ‘third shuffle’ in the standard list of shuffles   which is also the same every time as we’re always setting the random seed to the same value right before the shuffle. finally we’re just ticking through our shuffled notes to play the riff. now, here’s where the fun starts. if we change the random seed value to another number, say 3000, we get an entirely different shuffling of the notes. so now it’s extremely easy to explore new melodies. simply choose the list of notes we want to shuffle (scales are a great starting point) and then choose the seed we want to shuffle with. if we don’t like the melody, just change one of those two things and try again. repeat until you like what you hear! sonic pi’s randomisation is not actually random it’s what’s called pseudo random. imagine if you were to roll a dice 100 times and write down the result of each roll onto a piece of paper. sonic pi has the equivalent of this list of results which it uses when you ask for a random value. instead of rolling an actual dice, it just picks the next value from the list. setting the random seed is just jumping to a specific point in that list. another important aspect to our riff is the rhythm   when to play a note and when not to. as we saw above we can use :r in our rings to insert rests. another very powerful way is to use spreads which we’ll cover in a future tutorial. today we’ll use randomisation to help us find our rhythm. instead of playing every note we can use a conditional to play a note with a given probability. let’s take a look: a really useful fn to know is one_in which will give us a true or false value with the specified probability. here, we’re using a value of 2 so on average one time every two calls to one_in it will return true. in other words, 50% of the time it will return true. using higher values will make it return false more often introducing more space into the riff. notice that we’ve added some iteration in here with 16.times. this is because we only want to reset our random seed value every 16 notes so our rhythm repeats every 16 times. this doesn’t affect the shuffling as that is still done immediately after the seed is set. we can use the iteration size to alter the length of the riff. try changing the 16 to 8 or even 4 or 3 and see how it affects the rhythm of the riff. ok, so let’s combine everything we’ve learned together into one final example. see you next time! it’s impossible to look through the history of electronic dance music without seeing the enormous impact of the tiny roland tb 303 synthesiser. it’s the secret sauce behind the original acid bass sound. those classic squealing and squelching tb 303 bass riffs can be heard from the early chicago house scene through to more recent electronic artists such as plastikman, squarepusher and aphex twin. interestingly, roland never intended for the tb 303 to be used in dance music. it was originally created as a practice aid for guitarists. they imagined that people would program them to play bass lines to jam along to. unfortunately there were a number of problems: they were a little fiddly to program, didn’t sound particularly good as a bass guitar replacement and were pretty expensive to buy. deciding to cut their losses, roland stopped making them after 10,000 units were sold and after a number of years sitting on guitarist’s shelves, they soon could be found in the windows of second hand shops. these lonely discarded tb 303s were waiting to be discovered by a new generation of experimenters who started using them in ways that roland didn’t imagine to create new crazy sounds. acid house was born. although getting your hands on an original tb 303 is not so easy you will be pleased to know that you can turn your raspberry pi into one using the power of sonic pi. behold, fire up sonic pi and throw this code into an empty buffer and hit run: instant acid bass! let’s play around… first, let’s build a live arpeggiator to make things fun. in the last tutorial we looked at how riffs can just be a ring of notes that we tick through one after another, repeating when we get to the end. let’s create a live loop that does exactly that: take a look at each line. on the first line we set the default synth to be tb303 with the use_synth fn. on line two we create a live loop called :squelch which will just loop round and round. line three is where we create our riff   a ring of notes (e in octaves 1, 2, and 3) which we simply tick through with .tick. we define n to represent the current note in the riff. the equals sign just means to assign the value on the right to the name on the left. this will be different every time round the loop. the first time round, n will be set to :e1. the second time round it will be :e2, followed by :e3, and then back to :e1, cycling round forever. line four is where we actually trigger our :tb303 synth. we’re passing a few interesting opts here: release:, cutoff:, res: and wave: which we’ll discuss below. line five is our sleep   we’re asking the live loop to loop round every 0.125s or 8 times a second at the default bpm of 60. line six is the end to the live loop. this just tells sonic pi where the end of the live loop is. whilst you’re still figuring out what’s going on, type in the code above and hit the run button. you should hear the :tb303 kick into action. now, this is where the action is: let’s start live coding. whilst the loop is still live, change the cutoff: opt to 110. now hit the run button again. you should hear the sound become a little harsher and more squelchy. dial in 120 and hit run. now 130. listen how higher cutoff values make it sound more piercing and intense. finally, drop it down to 80 when you feel like a rest. then repeat as many times as you want. don’t worry, i’ll still be here… another opt worth playing with is res:. this controls the level of resonance of the filter. a high resonance is characteristic of acid bass sounds. we currently have our res: set to 0.8. try cranking it up to 0.85, then 0.9, and finally 0.95. you might find that a cutoff such as 110 or higher will make the differences easier to hear. finally go crazy and dial in 0.999 for some insane sounds. at a res this high, you’re hearing the cutoff filter resonate so much it starts to make sounds of its own! finally, for a big impact on the timbre try changing the wave: opt to 1. this is the choice of source oscillator. the default is 0 which is a sawtooth wave. 1 is a pulse wave and 2 is a triangle wave. of course, try different riffs by changing the notes in the ring or even picking notes from scales or chords. have fun with your first acid bass synth. the design of the original tb 303 is actually pretty simple. as you can see from the following diagram there’s only 4 core parts. first is the oscillator wave   the raw ingredients of the sound. in this case we have a square wave. next there’s the oscillator’s amplitude envelope which controls the amp of the square wave through time. these are accessed in sonic pi by the attack:, decay:, sustain: and release: opts along with their level counterparts. for more information read section 2.4 ‘duration with envelopes’ in the built in tutorial. we then pass our enveloped square wave through a resonant low pass filter. this chops off the higher frequencies as well as having that nice resonance effect. now this is where the fun starts. the cutoff value of this filter is also controlled by its own envelope! this means we have amazing control over the timbre of the sound by playing with both of these envelopes. let’s take a look: for each standard envelope opt, there’s a cutoff_ equivalent opt in the :tb303 synth. so, to change the cutoff attack time we can use the cutoff_attack: opt. copy the code above into an empty buffer and hit run. you’ll hear a crazy sound warble in and out. now start to play. try changing the cutoff_attack: time to 1 and then 0.5. now try 8. notice that i’ve passed everything through a :reverb fx for extra atmosphere   try other fx to see what works! finally, here’s a piece i composed using the ideas in this tutorial. copy it into an empty buffer, listen for a while and then start live coding your own changes. see what crazy sounds you can make with it! see you next time… hello and welcome back! in the previous tutorials we’ve focussed purely on the music possibilities of sonic pi   (turning your raspberry pi into a performance ready musical instrument). so far we’ve learned how to: there’s so much more to show you (which we will explore in future editions). however, this month, let’s look at something sonic pi can do that you probably didn’t realise: control minecraft. ok, let’s get started. boot up your raspberry pi, fire up minecraft pi and create a new world. now start up sonic pi and re size and move your windows so you can see both sonic pi and minecraft pi at the same time. in a fresh buffer type the following: now, hit run. boom! your message appeared in minecraft! how easy was that? now, stop reading this for a moment and play about with your own messages. have fun! now let’s do some exploring. the standard option is to reach for the mouse and keyboard and start walking around. that works, but it’s pretty slow and boring. it would be far better if we had some sort of teleport machine. well, thanks to sonic pi, we have one. try this: crikey! that was a long way up. if you weren’t in flying mode then you would have fallen back down all the way to the ground. if you double tap space to enter flying mode and teleport again, you’ll stay hovering at the location you zap to. now, what do those numbers mean? we have three numbers which describe the coordinates of where in the world we want to go. we give each number a name   x, y and z: by choosing different values for x, y and z we can teleport anywhere in our world. try it! choose different numbers and see where you can end up. if the screen goes black it’s because you’ve teleported yourself under the ground or into a mountain. just choose a higher y value to get back out above land. keep on exploring until you find somewhere you like… using the ideas so far, let’s build a sonic teleporter which makes a fun teleport sound whilst it whizzes us across the minecraft world: now you’ve found a nice spot, let’s start building. you could do what you’re used to and start clicking the mouse furiously to place blocks under the cursor. or you could use the magic of sonic pi. try this: now look up! there’s a melon in the sky! take a moment to look at the code. what did we do? on line one we grabbed the current location of steve as the variables x, y and z. these correspond to our coordinates described above. we use these coordinates in the fn mc_set_block which will place the block of your choosing at the specified coordinates. in order to make something higher up in the sky we just need to increase the y value which is why we add 5 to it. let’s make a long trail of them: now, jump over to minecraft, make sure you’re in flying mode (double tap space if not) and fly all around the world. look behind you to see a pretty trail of melon blocks! see what kind of twisty patterns you can make in the sky. those of you that have been following this tutorial over the last few months will probably have your minds blown at this point. the trail of melons is pretty cool, but the most exciting part of the previous example is that you can use live_loop with minecraft! for those that don’t know, live_loop is sonic pi’s special magic ability that no other programming language has. it lets you run multiple loops at the same time and allows you to change them whilst they run. they are incredibly powerful and amazing fun. i use live_loops to perform music in nightclubs with sonic pi   djs use discs and i use live_loops : ) however, today we’re going to live code both music and minecraft. let’s get started. run the code above and start making your melon trail again. now, without stopping the code, just simply change :melon to :brick and hit run. hey presto, you’re now making a brick trail. how simple was that! fancy some music to go with it? easy. try this: now, whilst that’s playing start changing the code. change the block types   try :water, :grass or your favourite block type. also, try changing the cutoff value from 70 to 80 and then up to 100. isn’t this fun? let’s combine everything we’ve seen so far with a little extra magic. let’s combine our teleportation ability with block placing and music to make a minecraft music video. don’t worry if you don’t understand it all, just type it in and have a play by changing some of the values whilst it’s running live. have fun and see you next time… after our brief excursion to the fantastic world of coding minecraft with sonic pi last month, let’s get musical again. today we’re going to bring a classical operatic dance piece straight into the 21st century using the awesome power of code. let’s jump into a time machine back to the year 1875. a composer called bizet had just finished his latest opera carmen. unfortunately like many exciting and disruptive new pieces of music people initially didn’t like it at all because it was too outrageous and different. sadly bizet died ten years before the opera gained huge international success and became one of the most famous and frequently performed operas of all time. in sympathy with this tragedy let’s take one of the main themes from carmen and convert it to a modern format of music that is also too outrageous and different for most people in our time   live coded music! trying to live code the whole opera would be a bit of a challenge for this tutorial, so let’s focus on one of the most famous parts   the bass line to the habanera: this may look extremely unreadable to you if you haven’t yet studied music notation. however, as programmers we see music notation as just another form of code   only it represents instructions to a musician instead of a computer. we therefore need to figure out a way of decoding it. the notes are arranged from left to right like the words in this magazine but also have different heights. the height on the score represents the pitch of the note. the higher the note on the score, the higher the pitch of the note. in sonic pi we already know how to change the pitch of a note   we either use high or low numbers such as play 75 and play 80 or we use the note names: play :e and play :f. luckily each of the vertical positions of the musical score represents a specific note name. take a look at this handy look up table: music scores are an extremely rich and expressive kind of code capable of communicating many things. it therefore shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that musical scores can not only tell you what notes to play but also when not to play notes. in programming this is pretty much equivalent to the idea of nil or null   the absence of a value. in other words not playing a note is like the absence of a note. if you look closely at the score you’ll see that it’s actually a combination of black dots with lines which represent notes to play and squiggly things which represent the rests. luckily sonic pi has a very handy representation for a rest: :r, so if we run: play :r it actually plays silence! we could also write play :rest, play nil or play false which are all equivalent ways of representing rests. finally, there’s one last thing to learn how to decode in the notation   the timings of the notes. in the original notation you’ll see that the notes are connected with thick lines called beams. the second note has two of these beams which means it lasts for a 16th of a beat. the other notes have a single beam which means they last for an 8th of a beat. the rest has two squiggly beams which means it also represents a 16th of the beat. when we attempt to decode and explore new things a very handy trick is to make everything as similar as possible to try and see any relationships or patterns. for example, when we re write our notation purely in 16ths you can see that our notation just turns into a nice sequence of notes and rests. we’re now in a position to start translating this bass line to sonic pi. let’s encode these notes and rests in a ring: let’s see what this sounds like. throw it in a live loop and tick through it: fabulous, that instantly recognisable riff springs to life through your speakers. it took a lot of effort to get here, but it was worth it   high five! now we have the bass line, let’s re create some of the ambience of the operatic scene. one synth to try out is :blade which is a moody 80s style synth lead. let’s try it with the starting note :d passed through a slicer and reverb: now, try the other notes in the bass line: :a and :f5. remember, you don’t need to hit stop, just modify the code whilst the music is playing and hit run again. also, try different values for the slicer’s phase: opt such as 0.5, 0.75 and 1. finally, let’s combine all the ideas so far into a new remix of the habanera. you might notice that i’ve included another part of the bass line as a comment. once you’ve typed it all into a fresh buffer hit run to hear the composition. now, without hitting stop, uncomment the second line by removing the # and hit run again   how marvellous is that! now, start mashing it around yourself and have fun. everyone has played minecraft. you will all have built amazing structures, designed cunning traps and even created elaborate cart lines controlled by redstone switches. how many of you have performed with minecraft? we bet you didn’t know that you could use minecraft to create amazing visuals just like a professional vj. if your only way of modifying minecraft was with the mouse, you’d have a tough time changing things fast enough. luckily for you your raspberry pi comes with a version of minecraft that can be controlled with code. it also comes with an app called sonic pi which makes coding minecraft not only easy but also incredibly fun. in today’s article we’ll be showing you some of the tips and tricks that we’ve used to create performances in night clubs and music venues around the world. let’s get started… let’s start with a simple warm up exercise to refresh ourselves with the basics. first up, crack open your raspberry pi and then fire up both minecraft and sonic pi. in minecraft, create a new world, and in sonic pi choose a fresh buffer and write in this code: hit the run button and you’ll see the message over in the minecraft window. ok, we’re ready to start, let’s have some fun…… when we’re using minecraft to create visuals we try and think about what will both look interesting and also be easy to generate from code. one nice trick is to create a sand storm by dropping sand blocks from the sky. for that all we need are a few basic fns: if you’re unfamiliar with any of the built in fns such as rrand, just type the word into your buffer, click on it and then hit the keyboard combo control i to bring up the built in documentation. alternatively you can navigate to the lang tab in the help system and then look up the fns directly along with all the other exciting things you can do. let’s make it rain a little first before unleashing the full power of the storm. grab your current location and use it to create a few sand blocks up in the sky nearby: when you hit run, you might have to look around a little as the blocks may start falling down behind you depending on which direction you’re currently facing. don’t worry, if you missed them just hit run again for another batch of sand rain   just make sure you’re looking the right way! let’s quickly review what’s going on here. on the first line we grabbed steve’s location as coordinates with the fn mc_location and placed them into the vars x, y, and z. then on the next lines we used the mc_set_block fn to place some sand at the same coordinates as steve but with some modifications. we chose the same x coordinate, a y coordinate 20 blocks higher and then successively larger z coordinates so the sand dropped in a line away from steve. why don’t you take that code and start playing around with it yourself? try adding more lines, changing the sleep times, try mixing :sand with :gravel and choose different coordinates. just experiment and have fun! ok, it’s time to get the storm raging by unleashing the full power of the live_loop   sonic pi’s magical ability which unleashes the full power of live coding   changing code on the fly whilst it’s running! what fun! we’re looping round pretty quickly (8 times a second) and during each loop we’re finding steve’s location like before but then generating 3 random values: we then use those random values in the fns synth and mc_set_block giving us sand falling in random locations around steve along with a percussive rain like sound from the :cnoise synth. for those of you new to live loops   this is where the fun really starts with sonic pi. whilst the code is running and the sand is pouring down, try changing one of the values, perhaps the sleep time to 0.25 or the :sand block type to :gravel. now hit run again. hey presto! things changed without the code stopping. this is your gateway to performing like a real vj. keep practising and changing things around. how different can you make the visuals without stopping the code? finally, another great way of generating interesting visuals is to generate huge patterned walls to fly towards and close by. for this effect we’ll need to move from placing the blocks randomly to placing them in an ordered manner. we can do this by nesting two sets of iteration (hit the help button and navigate to section 5.2 of the tutorial “iteration and loops” for more background on iteration). the funny |xd| after the do means that xd will be set for each value of the iteration. so the first time it will be 0, then 1, then 2… etc. by nesting two lots of iteration together like this we can generate all the coordinates for a square. we can then randomly choose block types from a ring of blocks for an interesting effect: pretty neat. whilst we’re having fun here, try changing bs.choose to bs.tick to move from a random pattern to a more regular one. try changing the block types and the more adventurous of you might want to try sticking this within a live_loop so that the patterns keep changing automatically. now, for the vj finale   change the two 10.times to 100.times and hit run. kaboom! a huge gigantic wall of randomly placed bricks. imagine how long it would take you to build that manually with your mouse! double tap space to enter fly mode and start swooping by for some great visual effects. don’t stop here though   use your imagination to conjure up some cool ideas and then use the coding power of sonic pi to make it real. when you’ve practised enough dim the lights and put on a vj show for your friends! back in episode 4 of this tutorial series we took a brief look at randomisation whilst coding up some sizzling synth riffs. given that randomisation is such an important part of my live coding dj sets i thought it would be useful to cover the fundamentals in much greater detail. so, get your lucky hat on and let’s surf some random streams! the first thing to learn which might really surprise you when playing with sonic pi’s randomisation functions is that they’re not actually really random. what does this actually mean? well, let’s try a couple of tests. first, imagine a number in your head between 0 and 1. keep it there and don’t tell me. now let me guess… was it 0.321567? no? bah, i’m clearly no good at this. let me have another go, but let’s ask sonic pi to choose a number this time. fire up sonic pi v2.7+ and ask it for a random number but again don’t tell me: now for the reveal… was it 0.75006103515625? yes! ha, i can see you’re a little sceptical. perhaps it was just a lucky guess. let’s try again. press the run button again and see what we get… what? 0.75006103515625 again? this clearly can’t be random! you’re right, it’s not. what’s going on here? the fancy computer science word here is determinism. this just means that nothing is by chance and everything is destined to be. your version of sonic pi is destined to always return 0.75006103515625 in the program above. this might sound pretty useless, but let me assure you that it’s one of the most powerful parts of sonic pi. if you stick at it you’ll learn how to rely on the deterministic nature of sonic pi’s randomisation as a fundamental building block for your compositions and live coded dj sets. when sonic pi boots it actually loads into memory a sequence of 441,000 pre generated random values. when you call a random function such as rand or rrand, this random stream is used to generate your result. each call to a random function consumes a value from this stream. therefore the 10th call to a random function will use the 10th value from the stream. also, every time you press the run button, the stream is reset for that run. this is why i could predict the result to rand and why the ‘random’ melody was the same every time. everybody’s version of sonic pi uses the exact same random stream which is very important when we start sharing our pieces with each other. let’s use this knowledge to generate a repeatable random melody: type this into a spare buffer and hit run. you’ll hear a melody consisting of ‘random’ notes between 50 and 95. when it’s finished, hit run again to hear exactly the same melody again. sonic pi comes with a number of useful functions for working with the random stream. here’s a list of some of the most useful: check out their documentation in the help system for detailed information and examples. whilst the ability to repeat a sequence of chosen notes is essential to allow you to replay a riff on the dance floor, it might not be exactly the riff you want. wouldn’t it be great if we could try a number of different riffs and choose the one we liked best? this is where the real magic starts. we can manually set the stream with the fn use_random_seed. in computer science, a random seed is the starting point from which a new stream of random values can sprout out and blossom. let’s try it: great, we get the first three notes of our random melody above: 84, 83 and 71. however, we can now change the seed to something else. how about this: interesting, we get 83, 71 and 61 . you might notice that the first two numbers here are the same as the last two numbers before   this isn’t a coincidence. remember that the random stream is just a giant list of ‘pre rolled’ values. using a random seed simply jumps us to a point in that list. another way of thinking about it is to imagine a huge deck of pre shuffled cards. using a random seed is cutting the deck at a particular point. the fabulous part of this is that it’s precisely this ability to jump around the random stream which gives us huge power when making music. let’s revisit our random melody of 8 notes with this new stream resetting power, but let’s also throw in a live loop so we can experiment live whilst it’s playing: now, whilst it’s still playing, change the seed value from 0 to something else. try 100, what about 999. try your own values, experiment and play around   see which seed generates the riff you like best. this month’s tutorial has been quite a technical dive into the workings of sonic pi’s randomisation functionality. hopefully it has given you some insight into how it works and how you can start using randomisation in a reliable way to create repeatable patterns within your music. it’s important to stress that you can use repeatable randomisation anywhere you want. for example, you can randomise the amplitude of notes, the timing of the rhythm, the amount of reverb, the current synth, the mix of an fx, etc. etc. in the future we’ll take a close look at some of these applications, but for now let me leave you with a short example. type the following into a spare buffer, hit run, and then start changing the seeds around, hit run again (whilst it’s still playing) and explore the different sounds, rhythms and melodies you can make. when you find a nice one, remember the seed number so you can get back to it. finally, when you’ve found a few seeds you like, put on a live coded performance for your friends by simply switching between your favourite seeds to create a full piece. so far during this series we’ve focussed on triggering sounds. we’ve discovered that we can trigger the many synths built into sonic pi with play or synth and how to trigger pre recorded samples with sample. we’ve also looked at how we can wrap these triggered sounds within studio fx such as reverb and distortion using the with_fx command. combine this with sonic pi’s incredibly accurate timing system and you can produce a vast array of sounds, beats and riffs. however, once you’ve carefully selected a particular sound’s options and triggered it, there’s no ability to mess with it whilst it’s playing right? wrong! today you’re going to learn something very powerful   how to control running synths. let’s create a nice simple sound. fire up sonic pi and in a fresh buffer type the following: now press the run button at the top left to hear a lovely rumbling synth sound. go ahead, press it again a few times to get a feel for it. ok, done? let’s start controlling it! a little known feature in sonic pi is that the fns play, synth and sample, return something called a synthnode which represents a running sound. you can capture one of these synthnodes using a standard variable and then control it at a later point in time. for example, let’s change the value of the cutoff: opt after 1 beat: let’s look at each line in turn: firstly we trigger the :prophet synth using the synth fn as normal. however we also capture the result in a variable called sn. we could have called this variable something completely different such as synth_node or jane   the name doesn’t matter. however, it’s important to choose a name that’s meaningful to you for your performances and for people reading your code. i chose sn as it’s a nice short mnemonic for synth node. on line 2 we have a standard sleep command. this does nothing special   it just asks the computer to wait for 1 beat before moving onto the next line. line 3 is where the control fun starts. here, we use the control fn to tell our running synthnode to change the cutoff value to 130. if you hit the run button, you’ll hear the :prophet synth start playing as before, but after 1 beat it will shift to sound a lot brighter. modulatable options most of sonic pi’s synths and fx opts may be changed after being triggered. however, this isn’t the case for all of them. for example, the envelope opts attack:, decay:, sustain: and release: can only be set when triggering the synth. figuring out which opts can and can’t be changed is simple   just head to the documentation for a given synth or fx and then scroll down to the individual option documentation and look for the phrases “may be changed whilst playing” or “can not be changed once set”. for example, the documentation for the :beep synth’s attack: opt makes it clear that it’s not possible to change it: whilst a synth is running you’re not limited to changing it only once   you’re free to change it as many times as you like. for example, we can turn our :prophet into a mini arpeggiator with the following: in this snippet of code we just added a couple of extra things. first we defined a new variable called notes which contains the notes we’d like to cycle through (an arpeggiator is just a fancy name for something that cycles through a list of notes in order). secondly we replaced our single call to control with an iteration calling it 16 times. in each call to control we .tick through our ring of notes which will automatically repeat once we get to the end (thanks to the fabulous power of sonic pi’s rings). for a bit of variety try replacing .tick with .choose and see if you can hear the difference. note that we can change multiple opts simultaneously. try changing the control line to the following and listen for the difference: when we control a synthnode, it responds exactly on time and instantly changes the value of the opt to the new one as if you’d pressed a button or flicked a switch requesting the change. this can sound rhythmical and percussive   especially if the opt controls an aspect of the timbre such as cutoff:. however, sometimes you don’t want the change to happen instantaneously. instead, you might want to smoothly move from the current value to the new one as if you’d moved a slider or dial. of course, sonic pi can also do this too using the _slide: opts. each opt that can be modified also has a special corresponding _slide: opt that allows you to specify a slide time. for example, amp: has amp_slide: and cutoff: has cutoff_slide:. these slide opts work slightly differently than all the other opts in that they tell the synth note how to behave next time they are controlled. let’s take a look: notice how this example is exactly the same as before except with the addition of cutoff_slide:. this is saying that next time this synth has its cutoff: opt controlled, it will take 2 beats to slide from the current value to the new one. therefore, when we use control you can hear the cutoff slide from 70 to 130. it creates an interesting dynamic feel to the sound. now, try changing the cutoff_slide: time to a shorter value such as 0.5 or a longer value such as 4 to see how it changes the sound. remember, you can slide any of the modifiable opts in exactly this way and each _slide: value can be totally different so you can have the cutoff sliding slowly, the amp sliding fast and the pan sliding somewhere in between if that’s what you’re looking to create… let’s look at a short example which demonstrates the power of controlling synths after they’ve been triggered. notice that you can also slide fx just like synths although with a slightly different syntax. check out section 7.2 of the built in tutorial for more information on controlling fx. copy the code into a spare buffer and take a listen. don’t stop there though   play around with the code. change the slide times, change the notes, the synth, the fx and the sleep times and see if you can turn it into something completely different! last month in this series we took a deep technical dive into the randomisation system underpinning sonic pi. we explored how we can use it to deterministically add new levels of dynamic control over our code. this month we’re going to continue our technical dive and turn our attention to sonic pi’s unique tick system. by the end of this article you’ll be ticking your way through rhythms and riffs on your way to being a live coding dj. when making music we often want to do a different thing depending on which beat it is. sonic pi has a special beat counting system called tick to give you precise control over when a beat actually occurs and even supports multiple beats with their own tempos. let’s have a play   to advance the beat we just need to call tick. open up a fresh buffer, type in the following and hit run: this will return the current beat: 0. notice that even if you press the run button a few times it will always return 0. this is because each run starts a fresh beat counting from 0. however, whilst the run is still active, we can advance the beat as many times as we want: whenever you see the symbol #=> at the end of a line of code it means that that line will log the text on the right hand side. for example, puts foo #=> 0 means the code puts foo prints 0 to the log at that point in the program. we’ve seen that tick does two things. it increments (adds one) and returns the current beat. sometimes we just want to look at the current beat without having to increment it which we can do via look: in this code we tick the beat up twice and then call look twice. we’ll see the following values in the log: 0, 1, 1, 1. the first two ticks returned 0, then 1 as expected, then the two looks just returned the last beat value twice which was 1. so now we can advance the beat with tick and check the beat with look. what next? we need something to tick over. sonic pi uses rings for representing riffs, melodies and rhythms and the tick system has been specifically designed to work very closely with them. in fact, rings have their own dot version of tick which does two things. firstly, it acts like a regular tick and increments the beat. secondly it looks up the ring value using the beat as the index. let’s take a look: .tick is a special dot version of tick which will return the first value of the ring :a. we can grab each of the values in the ring by calling .tick multiple times: take a look at the log and you’ll see :a, :b, :c and then :a again. notice that look returns 3. calls to .tick act just like they are regular calls to tick   they increment the local beat. the real power comes when you mix tick with rings and live_loops. when combined we have all the tools we need to both build and understand a simple arpegiator. we need just four things: these concepts can all be found in the following code: let’s look at each of these lines. first we define our ring of notes which we’ll continually play. we then create a live_loop called :arp which loops round for us. each time round the live_loop we set our synth to :dpulse and then play the next note in our ring using .tick. remember that this will increment our beat counter and use the latest beat value as an index into our notes ring. finally, we wait for an eighth of a beat before looping round again. a really important thing to know is that ticks are local to the live_loop. this means that each live_loop has its own independent beat counter. this is much more powerful than having a global metronome and beat. let’s take a look at this in action: a big cause of confusion with sonic pi’s tick system is when people want to tick over multiple rings in the same live_loop: even though each live_loop has its own independent beat counter, we’re calling .tick twice within the same live_loop. this means that the beat will be incremented twice every time round. this can produce some interesting polyrhythms but is often not what you want. there are two solutions to this problem. one option is to manually call tick at the start of the live_loop and then use .look to look up the current beat in each live_loop. the second solution is to pass a unique name to each call to .tick such as .tick(:foo). sonic pi will then create and track a separate beat counter for each named tick you use. that way you can work with as many beats as you need! see the section on named ticks in 9.4 of the built in tutorial for more information. let’s bring all this knowledge of ticks, rings and live_loops together for a final fun example. as usual, don’t treat this as a finished piece. start changing things and play around with it and see what you can turn it into. see you next time… way back in episode 3 of this sonic pi series we looked at how to loop, stretch and filter one of the most famous drum breaks of all time   the amen break. in this tutorial we’re going to take this one step further and learn how to slice it up, shuffle the slices and glue it back together in a completely new order. if that sounds a bit crazy to you, don’t worry, it will all become clear and you’ll soon master a powerful new tool for your live coded sets. before we get started let’s just take a brief moment to understand how to work with samples. by now, you’ve all hopefully played with sonic pi’s powerful sampler. if not, there’s no time like the present! boot up your raspberry pi, launch sonic pi from the programming menu, type the following into a fresh buffer and then hit the run button to hear a pre recorded drum beat: a recording of a sound is simply represented as data   lots of numbers between  1 and 1 which represent the peaks and troughs of the sound wave. if we play those numbers back in order, we get the original sound. however, what’s to stop us from playing them back in a different order and creating a new sound? how are samples actually recorded? it’s actually pretty simple once you understand the basic physics of sound. when you make a sound   for example by hitting a drum, the noise travels through the air in a similar fashion to how the surface of a lake ripples when you throw a pebble into it. when those ripples reach your ears, your eardrum moves sympathetically and converts those movements into the sound you hear. if we wish to record and play back the sound, we therefore need a way of capturing, storing and reproducing those ripples. one way is to use a microphone which acts like an eardrum and moves back and forth as the sound ripples hit it. the microphone then converts its position into a tiny electric signal which is then measured many times a second. these measurements are then represented as a series of numbers between  1 and 1. if we were to plot a visualisation of the sound it would be a simple graph of data with time on the x axis and microphone/speaker position as a value between  1 and 1 on the y axis. you can see an example of such a graph at the top of the diagram. so, how do we code sonic pi to play a sample back in a different order? to answer this question we need to take a look at the start: and finish: opts for sample. these let us control the start and finish positions of our playback of the numbers which represent the sound. the values for both of these opts are represented as a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents the start of the sample and 1 is the end. so, to play the first half of the amen break, we just need to specify a finish: of 0.5: we can add in a start: value to play an even smaller section of the sample: for fun, you can even have the finish: opt’s value be before start: and it will play the section backwards: now that we know that a sample is simply a list of numbers that can be played back in any order and also how to play a specific part of a sample we can now start having fun playing a sample back in the ‘wrong’ order. let’s take our amen break and chop it up into 8 equally sized slices and then shuffle the pieces around. take a look at the diagram: at the top a) represents the graph of our original sample data. chopping it into 8 slices gives us b)   notice that we’ve given each slice a different colour to help distinguish them. you can see each slice’s start and finish values at the top. finally c) is one possible re ordering of the slices. we can then play this back to create a new beat. take a look at the code to do this: we choose a random slice to play which should be a random number between 0 and 7 (remember that we start counting at 0). sonic pi has a handy function for exactly this: rand_i(8). we then store this random slice index in the variable slice_idx. we define our slice_size which is 1/8 or 0.125. the slice_size is necessary for us to convert our slice_idx into a value between 0 and 1 so we can use it as our start: opt. we calculate the start position s by multiplying the slice_idx by the slice_size. we calculate the finish position f by adding the slice_size to the start position s. we can now play the sample slice by plugging in the s and f values into the start: and finish: opts for sample. before we play the next slice we need to know how long to sleep which should be the duration of the sample slice. luckily, sonic pi has us covered with sample_duration which accepts all the same opts as sample and simply returns the duration. therefore, by passing sample_duration our start: and finish: opts, we can find out the duration of a single slice. we wrap all of this code in a live_loop so that we continue to pick new random slices to play. let’s combine everything we’ve seen so far into a final example which demonstrates how we can take a similar approach to combine randomly sliced beats with some bass to create the start of an interesting track. now it’s your turn   take the code below as a starting point and see if you can take it in your own direction and create something new… in a previous episode of this sonic pi series we explored the power of randomisation to introduce variety, surprise and change into our live coded tracks and performances. for example, we randomly picked notes from a scale to create never ending melodies. today we’re going to learn a new technique which uses randomisation for rhythm   probabilistic beats! before we can start making new beats and synth rhythms we need to take a quick dive into the basics of probability. this might sound daunting and complicated, but really it’s just as simple as rolling a dice   honestly! when you take a regular 6 sided board game dice and roll it what’s actually happening? well, firstly you’ll roll either a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 with exactly the same chance of getting any of the numbers. in fact, given that it’s a 6 sided dice, on average (if you roll lots and lots of times) you’ll throw a 1 every 6 throws. this means you have a 1 in 6 chance of throwing a 1. we can emulate dice rolls in sonic pi with the fn dice. let’s roll one 8 times: notice how the log prints values between 1 and 6 just as if we’d rolled a real dice ourselves. now imagine you had a drum and every time you were about to hit it you rolled a dice. if you rolled a 1, you hit the drum and if you rolled any other number you didn’t. you now have a probabilistic drum machine working with a probability of 1/6! let’s hear what that sounds like: let’s quickly go over each line to make sure everything is very clear. first we create a new live_loop called :random_beat which will continually repeat the two lines between do and end. the first of these lines is a call to sample which will play a pre recorded sound (the :drum_snare_hard sound in this case). however, this line has a special conditional if ending. this means that the line will only be executed if the statement on the right hand side of the if is true. the statement in this case is dice == 1. this calls our dice function which, as we have seen, returns a value between 1 and 6. we then use the equality operator == to check to see if this value is 1. if it is 1, then the statement resolves to true and our snare drum sounds, if it isn’t 1 then the statement resolves to false and the snare is skipped. the second line simply waits for 0.125 seconds before rolling the dice again. those of you that have played role play games will be familiar with lots of strangely shaped dice with different ranges. for example there is the tetrahedron shaped dice which has 4 sides and even a 20 sided dice in the shape of a icosahedron. the number of sides on the dice changes the chance, or probability of rolling a 1. the fewer sides, the more likely you are to roll a 1 and the more sides the less likely. for example, with a 4 sided dice, there’s a one in 4 chance of rolling a 1 and with a 20 sided dice there’s a one in 20 chance. luckily, sonic pi has the handy one_in fn for describing exactly this. let’s play: start the live loop above and you’ll hear the familiar random rhythm. however, don’t stop the code running. instead, change the 6 to a different value such as 2 or 20 and hit the run button again. notice that lower numbers mean the snare drum sounds more frequently and higher numbers mean the snare triggers fewer times. you’re making music with probabilities! things get really exciting when you combine multiple samples being triggered with different probabilities. for example: again, run the code above and then start changing the probabilities to modify the rhythm. also, try changing the samples to create an entirely new feel. for example try changing :drum_cymbal_closed to :bass_hit_c for extra bass! next, we can use our old friend use_random_seed to reset the random stream after 8 iterations to create a regular beat. type the following code to hear a much more regular and repeating rhythm. once you hear the beat, try changing the seed value from 1000 to another number. notice how different numbers generate different beats. one thing i tend to do with this kind of structure is to remember which seeds sound good and make a note of them. that way i can easily re create my rhythms in future practice sessions or performances. finally, we can throw in some random bass to give it some nice melodic content. notice that we can also use our newly discovered probabilistic sequencing method on synths just as well as samples. don’t leave it at that though   tweak the numbers and make your own track with the power of probabilities! this month we’re going to take a deep dive into one of sonic pi’s most powerful and flexible audio fx   the :slicer. by the end of this article you will have learned how to manipulate the overall volume of parts of our live coded sound in powerful new ways. this will allow you to create new rhythmic and timbral structures and broaden your sonic possibilities. so, what does the :slicer fx actually do? one way to think about it is that it’s just like having someone play around with the volume control on your tv or home hi fi. let’s take a look but first, listen to the deep growl of the following code which triggers the :prophet synth: now, let’s pipe it through the :slicer fx: hear how the slicer acts like it’s muting and unmuting the audio with a regular beat. also, notice how the :slicer affects all the audio generated between the do/end blocks. you can control the speed at which it turns the audio on and off with the phase: opt which is short for phase duration. its default value is 0.25 which means 4 times a second at the default bpm of 60. let’s make it faster: now, play with different phase: durations yourself. try longer and shorter values. see what happens when you choose a really short value. also, try different synths such as :beep or :dsaw and different notes. take a look at the following diagram to see how different phase: values change the number of amplitude changes per beat. phase duration is the length of time for one on/off cycle. therefore smaller values will make the fx switch on and off much faster than larger values. good values to start playing with are 0.125, 0.25, 0.5 and 1. by default, the :slicer fx uses a square wave to manipulate the amplitude through time. this is why we hear the amplitude on for a period, then immediately off for a period, then back on again. it turns out that the square wave is just one of 4 different control waves that are supported by :slicer. the others are saw, triangle and (co)sine. take a look at the diagram below to see what these look like. we can also hear what they sound like. for example, the following code uses (co)sine as the control wave. hear how the sound doesn’t turn on and off abruptly but instead smoothly fades in and out: have a play with the different wave forms by changing the wave: opt to 0 for saw, 1 for square, 2 for triangle and 3 for sine. see how different waves sound with different phase: opts too. each of these waves can be inverted with the invert_wave: opt which flips it on the y axis. for example, in a single phase the saw wave typically starts high, and slowly goes down before jumping back to the top. with invert_wave: 1 it will start low and slowly go up before jumping back down again. additionally, the control wave can be started at different points with the phase_offset: opt which should be a value between 0 and 1. by playing around with phase:, wave:, invert_wave: and phase_offset opts you can dramatically change how the amplitude is modified through time. by default, :slicer switches between amplitude values 1 (fully loud) and 0 (silent). this can be changed with the amp_min: and amp_max: opts. you can use this alongside the sine wave setting to create a simple tremolo effect: this is just like grabbing the volume knob on your hi fi and moving it up and down just a little so the sound ‘wobbles’ in and out. one of :slicer’s powerful features is its ability to use probability to choose whether or not to turn the slicer on or off. before the :slicer fx starts a new phase it rolls a dice and based on the result either uses the selected control wave or keeps the amplitude off. let’s take a listen: hear how we now have an interesting rhythm of pulses. try changing the probability: opt to a different value between 0 and 1. values closer to 0 will have more space between each sound due to the likelihood of the sound being triggered being much lower. another thing to notice is that the probability system in the fx is just like the randomisation system accessible via fns such as rand and shuffle. they are both completely deterministic. this means that each time you hit run you’ll hear exactly the same rhythm of pulses for a given probability. if you would like to change things around you can use the seed: opt to select a different starting seed. this works exactly the same as use_random_seed but only affects that particular fx. finally, you can change the ‘resting’ position of the control wave when the probability test fails from 0 to any other position with the prob_pos: opt: one really fun thing to do is to use :slicer to chop a drum beat in and out: this allows us to take any sample and create new rhythmical possibilites which is a lot of fun. however, one thing to be careful about is to make sure that the tempo of the sample matches the current bpm in sonic pi otherwise the slicing will sound totally off. for example, try swapping :loop_mika with the loop_amen sample to hear how bad this can sound when the tempos don’t align. as we have already seen, changing the default bpm with use_bpm will make all the sleep times and synth envelope durations grow or shrink to match the beat. the :slicer fx honours this too, as the phase: opt is actually measured in beats not seconds. we can therefore fix the issue with loop_amen above by changing the bpm to match the sample: let’s apply all these ideas into a final example that only uses the :slicer fx to create an interesting combination. go ahead, start changing it and make it into your own piece! in this month’s sonic pi tutorial we’re going to take a look at how you can start treating sonic pi like a real instrument. we therefore need to start thinking of code in a completely different way. live coders think of code in a similar way to how violinists think of their bow. in fact, just like a violinist can apply various bowing techniques to create different sounds (long slow motions vs short fast hits) we will explore five of the basic live coding techniques that sonic pi enables. by the end of this article you’ll be able to start practicing for your own live coded performances. the first tip to live coding with sonic pi is to start using the shortcuts. for example, instead of wasting valuable time reaching for the mouse, moving it over to the run button and clicking, you can simply press alt and r at the same time which is much faster and keeps your fingers at the keyboard ready for the next edit. you can find out the shortcuts for the main buttons at the top by hovering the mouse over them. see section 10.2 of the built in tutorial for the full list of shortcuts. when performing, one fun thing to do is to add a bit of flair with your arm motion when hitting shortcuts. for example, it’s often good to communicate to the audience when you’re about to make a change   so embellish your movement when hitting alt r just like a guitarist would do when hitting a big power chord. now you can trigger code instantly with the keyboard, you can instantly apply this skill for our second technique which is to layer your sounds manually. instead of ‘composing’ using lots of calls to play, and sample separated by calls to sleep we will have one call to play which we will manually trigger using alt r. let’s try it. type the following code into a fresh buffer: now, hit run and whilst the sound is playing, modify the code in order to drop down four notes by changing it to the following: now, hit run again, to hear both sounds playing at the same time. this is because sonic pi’s run button doesn’t wait for any previous code to finish, but instead starts the code running at the same time. this means you can easily layer lots of sounds manually with minor or major modifications between each trigger. for example, try changing both the note: and the cutoff: opts and then re trigger. you can also try this technique with long abstract samples. for example: try starting the sample off, and then progressively halving the rate: opt between hitting run from 1 to 0.5 to 0.25 to 0.125 and then even try some negative values such as  0.5. layer the sounds together and see where you can take it. finally, try adding some fx. when performing, working with simple lines of code in this way means that an audience new to sonic pi has a good chance to follow what you’re doing and relate the code that they can read to the sounds they are hearing. when working with more rhythmic music, it can often be hard to manually trigger everything and keep good time. instead, it is often better to use a live_loop. this provides repetition for your code whilst also giving the ability to edit the code for the next time round the loop. they also will run at the same time as other live_loops which means you can layer them together both with each other and manual code triggers. take a look at section 9.2 of the built in tutorial for more information about working with live loops. when performing, remember to make use of live_loop’s sync: opt to allow you to recover from accidental runtime mistakes which stop the live loop running due to an error. if you already have the sync: opt pointing to another valid live_loop, then you can quickly fix the error and re run the code to re start things without missing a beat. one of sonic pi’s best kept secrets is that it has a master mixer through which all sound flows. this mixer has both a low pass filter and a high pass filter built in, so you can easily perform global modifications to the sound. the master mixer’s functionality can be accessed via the fn set_mixer_control!. for example, whilst some code is running and making sound, enter this into a spare buffer and hit run: set_mixer_control! lpf: 50 after you run this code, all existing and new sounds will have a low pass filter applied to them and will therefore sound more muffled. note that this means that the new mixer values stick until they are changed again. however, if you want, you can always reset the mixer back to its default state with reset_mixer!. some of the currently supported opts are: pre_amp:, lpf: hpf:, and amp:. for the full list, see the built in docs for set_mixer_control!. use the mixer’s *_slide opts to slide one or many opts values over time. for example, to slowly slide the mixer’s low pass filter down from the current value to 30, use the following: you can then slide quickly back to a high value with: when performing, it’s often useful to keep a buffer free for working with the mixer like this. the most important technique for live coding is practice. the most common attribute across professional musicians of all kinds is that they practice playing with their instruments   often for many hours a day. practice is just as important for a live coder as a guitarist. practice allows your fingers to memorise certain patterns and common edits so you can type and work with them more fluently. practice also gives you opportunities to explore new sounds and code constructs. when performing, you’ll find the more practice you do, the easier it will be for you to relax into the gig. practice will also give you a wealth of experience to draw from. this can help you understand which kinds of modifications will be interesting and also work well with the current sounds. this month, instead of giving you a final example that combines all the things discussed, let’s part by setting down a challenge. see if you can spend a week practicing one of these ideas every day. for example, one day practice manual triggers, the next do some basic live_loop work and the following day play around with the master mixer. then repeat. don’t worry if things feel slow and clunky at first   just keep practicing and before you know it you’ll be live coding for a real audience. last month we took a look at five important techniques for mastering live coding   in other words, we explored how we could use sonic pi to approach code in the same way we would approach a musical instrument. one of the important concepts that we discussed was practice. this month we’re going to take a deeper dive into understanding why live coding practice is important and how you might start. the most important piece of advice is to make sure you practice regularly. as a rule i typically practice for 1 2 hours a day, but 20 mins is just fine when you’re starting out. little but often is what you’re aiming for   so if you can only manage 10 minutes, that’s a great start. practice tip #1   start to develop a practice routine. find a nice time in the day that works for you and try and practice at that time as many days of the week as you can. before long you’ll be looking forward to your regular session. if you watch a professional musician performing on stage you’ll likely notice a few things. firstly, when they play they don’t stare at their instrument. their fingers, arms and bodies know which keys to press, strings to pluck or drums to hit without them having to think about it too much. this is known as “muscle memory” and although it might sound like something only professionals can do   it’s just the same as when you first learned to walk or ride a bike   practicing through repetition. live coders use muscle memory to free their minds from having to think about where to move their fingers so they can focus on the music. this is called touch typing   typing without having to look at the keyboard. practice tip #2   learn how to touch type. there are many apps, websites and even games which can help you achieve this. find one you like the look of and stick at it until you can code without looking down. the body of a musician is conditioned for playing their instrument. for example, a trumpet player needs to be able to blow hard, a guitar player needs to be able to grip the fretboard with strength and a drummer needs to be able to continually hit the drums for long periods of time. so, what’s physical about live coding? just like djs, live coders typically perform whilst standing up and some even dance whilst they code! if you practice live coding whilst sitting at a desk and then have to get up and stand at a gig, you’ll likely find the difference very difficult and frustrating. practice tip #3   stand whilst you practice. the easiest way to do this is to use a standing height desk. however, if like me you don’t have one at home, there’s a couple of low fi options. the approach i take is to use an ironing board which happens to work rather well. another is to stack some boxes or large books on a normal desk and place your keyboard on top of that. also, make sure you stretch before you start practicing and try and dance a little during the session. remember, nobody is watching you, so have fun and you’ll feel much more natural on stage. most instruments require some assembly and tuning before they can be played. unless you’re a rockstar with a bus full of roadies, you’ll have to set up your own instrument before your gig. this is often a stressful time and it is easy for problems to occur. one way to help with this is to incorporate the setup process into your practice sessions. practice tip #4   treat setting up as an important part of your practice. for example, have a box or bag that you can keep your raspberry pi and keyboard in etc. before each practice session, take out all the parts, connect everything, and work through the boot process until you have sonic pi running and can make sounds. once you’ve finished practicing, take the time to carefully pack everything away afterwards. this may take some time at first, but before long you’ll be able to setup and pack everything away incredibly quickly without having to think about it. once you’ve set up and are ready to start making music, you might find yourself struggling to know where to start. one problem many people face is that they might have a good idea of the kinds of sounds they want to make, but are frustrated that they can’t produce them. some people don’t even know what kind of sounds they want to make! the first thing to do is not to worry   this is very common and happens to every musician   even if they’ve been practicing for a long time. it is much more important to be making sounds you don’t like than not making any sounds at all. practice tip #5   spend time making sounds and music you don’t like. try to make time to explore new sounds and ideas. don’t worry that it might sound terrible if it’s not the style you’re looking for. when you’re experimenting like this you increase the chance of stumbling over a sound or combination of sounds which you love! even if 99% of the sounds you make are bad, that 1% might be the riff or intro to your new track. forget the things you don’t like and remember the parts you do. this is even easier when you’re making music with code   just hit save! many musicians can look at a musical score and hear the music in their head without having to play it. this is a very useful skill and it’s well worth incorporating into your live coding practice sessions. the imporant point is to be able to have some understanding of what the code is going to sound like. you don’t need to be able to hear it exactly in your head, but instead it’s useful to know if the code is going to be fast, slow, loud, rhythmic, melodic, random, etc. the final goal is then to be able to reverse this process   to be able to hear music in your head and know what code to write to make it. it may take you a long time to master this, but once you do, you’ll be able to improvise on stage and express your ideas fluently. practice tip #6   write some code into sonic pi but don’t hit the run button. instead, try to imagine what sound it is going to produce. then, hit run, listen, and think about what you got right and what you didn’t. keep repeating this until it become a natural part of your coding process. when i practice i normally have a good idea of what the code will sound like. however, i still am occasionally surprised, and then i’ll stop and spend some time thinking about why i was wrong. each time this happens, i learn new tricks which allow me to express myself in new ways. a common problem when practicing is to become distracted with other things. practicing is hard and requires real discipline regardless of the kind of music you’re making   from jazz to classical to edm. if you’re struggling to get started or make progress, it’s often too easy to hop on social media, or look something up on the internet etc. if you’ve set yourself a target of 20 minutes of practice, it’s important to try and spend all that time being as productive as possible. practice tip #7   before you start practicing remove as many distractions as possible. for example, disconnect from the internet, put your phone in another room and try to practice in a quiet place where you’re unlikely to be disturbed. try to focus on coding music and you can return to your distractions when you’ve finished. when you are practicing, you’ll often find your mind is full of new exciting ideas   new musical directions, new sounds to try out, new functions to write, etc. these ideas are often so interesting that you might stop what you’re doing and start working on the idea. this is another form of distraction! practice tip #8   keep a practice diary by your keyboard. when you get an exciting new idea, temporarily pause your practice session, quickly jot the idea down, then forget about it and carry on practicing. you can then spend some quality time thinking about and working on your ideas after you’ve finished practicing. try to establish a practice routine which incorporates as many of these ideas as possible. try to keep the sessions as fun as possible but be aware that some practice sessions will be hard and feel a little like work. however, it will all be worth it once you’ve created your first piece or given your first performance. remember, practice is the key to success! when people discover sonic pi, one of the first things they learn is how simple it is to play pre recorded sounds using the sample function. for example, you can play an industrial drum loop, hear the sound of a choir or even listen to a vinyl scratch all via a single line of code. however, many people don’t realise that you can actually vary the speed that the sample is played back at for some powerful effects and a whole new level of control over your recorded sounds. so, fire up a copy of sonic pi and let’s get started stretching some samples! to modify the playback rate of a sample we need to use the rate: opt: if we specify a rate: of 1 then the sample is played back at the normal rate. if we want to play it back at half speed we simply use a rate: of 0.5: notice that this has two effects on the audio. firstly the sample sounds lower in pitch and secondly it takes twice as long to play back (see the sidebar for an explanation of why this is the case). we can even choose lower and lower rates moving towards 0, so a rate: of 0.25 is a quarter speed, 0.1 is a tenth of the speed, etc. try playing with some low rates and see if you can turn the sound into a low rumble. in addition to making the sound longer and lower using a small rate, we can use higher rates to make the sound shorter and higher. let’s play with a drum loop this time. first, take a listen to how it sounds at the default rate of 1: now, let’s speed it up a little: ha! we just moved musical genres from old skool techno to jungle. notice how the pitch of each drum hit is higher as well as how the whole rhythm speeds up. now, try even higher rates and see how high and short you can make the drum loop. for example, if you use a rate of 100, the drum loop turns into a click! now, i’m sure many of you are thinking the same thing right now… “what if you use a negative number for the rate?”. great question! let’s think about this for a moment. if our rate: opt signifies the speed with which the sample is played back, 1 being normal speed, 2 being double speed, 0.5 being half speed,  1 must mean backwards! let’s try it on a snare. first, play it back at the normal rate: now, play it backwards: of course, you can play it backwards twice as fast with a rate of  2 or backwards at half speed with a rate of  0.5. now, play around with different negative rates and have fun. it’s particularly amusing with the :misc_burp sample! one of the effects of rate modification on samples is that faster rates result in the sample sounding higher in pitch and slower rates result in the sample sounding lower in pitch. another place you may have heard this effect in every day life is when you’re cycling or driving past a beeping pedestrian crossing   as you’re heading towards the sound source the pitch is higher than when you’re moving away from the sound   the so called doppler effect. why is this? let’s consider a simple beep which is represented by a sine wave. if we use an oscilloscope to plot a beep, we’ll see something like figure a. if we plot a beep an octave higher, we’ll see figure b and an octave lower will look like figure c. notice that the waves of higher notes are more compact and the waves of lower notes are more spread out. a sample of a beep is nothing more than a lot of numbers (x, y, coordinates) which when plotted onto a graph will re draw the original curves. see figure d where each circle represents a coordinate. to turn the coordinates back into audio, the computer works through each x value and sends the corresponding y value to the speakers. the trick here is that the rate at which the computer works through the x numbers does not have to be the same as the rate with which they were recorded. in other words, the space (representing an amount of time) between each circle can be stretched or compressed. so, if the computer walks through the x values faster than the original rate, it will have the effect of squashing the circles closer together which will result in a higher sounding beep. it will also make the beep shorter as we will work through all the circles faster. this is shown in figure e. finally, one last thing to know is that a mathematician called fourier proved that any sound is actually lots and lots of sine waves all combined together. therefore, when we compress and stretch any recorded sound we’re actually stretching and compressing many sine waves all at the same time in exactly this manner. as we’ve seen, using a faster rate will make the sound higher in pitch and a slower rate will make the sound lower in pitch. a very simple and useful trick is to know that doubling the rate actually results in the pitch being an octave higher and inversely halving the rate results in the pitch being an octave lower. this means that for melodic samples, playing it alongside itself at double/half rates actually sounds rather nice: however, what if we just want to alter the rate such that the pitch goes up one semitone (one note up on a piano)? sonic pi makes this very easy via the rpitch: opt: if you take a look at the log on the right, you’ll notice that an rpitch: of 3 actually corresponds to a rate of 1.1892 and a rpitch: of 7 corresponds to a rate of 1.4983. finally, we can even combine rate: and rpitch: opts: let’s take a look at a simple piece which combines these ideas. copy it into an empty sonic pi buffer, hit play, listen to it for a while and then use it as a starting point for your own piece. see how much fun it is to manipulate the playback rate of samples. as an added exercise try recording your own sounds and play around with the rate to see what crazy sounds you can make. this is the first of a short series of articles on how to use sonic pi for sound design. we’ll be take a quick tour of a number of different techniques available for you to craft your own unique sound. the first technique we’ll look at is called additive synthesis. this may sound complicated   but if we expand each word slightly the meaning pops right out. firstly, additive means a combination of things and secondly synthesis means to create sound. additive synthesis therefore means nothing more complicated than combining existing sounds to create new ones. this synthesis technique dates back a very long time   for example, pipe organs in the middle ages had lots of slightly different sounding pipes which you could enable or disable with stops. pulling out the stop for a given pipe ‘added it to the mix’ making the sound richer and more complex. now, let’s see how we can pull out all the stops with sonic pi. let’s start with the most basic sound there is   the humble pure toned sine wave: now, let’s see how this sounds combined with a square wave: notice how the two sounds combine to form a new, richer sound. of course, we don’t have to stop there, we can add as many sounds as we need. however, we need to be careful with how many sounds we add together. just like when we mix paints to create new colours, adding too many colours will result in a messy brown, similarly   adding too many sounds together will result in a muddy sound. let’s add something to make it sound a little brighter. we could use a triangle wave at an octave higher (for that high bright sound) yet only play it at amp 0.4 so it adds something extra to the sound rather than taking it over: now, try creating your own sounds by combining 2 or more synths at different octaves and amplitudes. also, note that you can play around with each synth’s opts to modify each source sound before it is mixed in for even more combinations of sounds. so far, when combining our different synths we’ve used either the same pitch or switched octave. how might it sound if we didn’t stick to octaves but instead chose a slightly higher or lower note? let’s try it: if we detune our square waves by 0.7 notes we hear something that perhaps doesn’t sound in tune or correct   a ‘bad’ note. however, as we move closer to 0 it will sound less and less out of tune as the pitches of the two waves get closer and more similar. try it for yourself! change the detune: opt value from 0.7 to 0.5 and listen to the new sound. try 0.2, 0.1, 0.05, 0. each time you change the value, take a listen and see if you can hear how the sound is changing. notice that low detune values such as 0.1 produce a really nice ‘thick’ sound, with both slightly different pitches interacting with each other in interesting, often surprising, ways. some of the built in synths already include a detune option that do exactly this in one synth. try playing with the detune: opt of :dsaw, :dpulse and :dtri. another way we can finely craft our sound is to use a different envelope and options for each synth trigger. for example this will allow you to make some aspects of the sound percussive and other aspects ring out for a period of time. in the example above i have mixed in a noisy percussive element to the sound along with some more persistent background rumbling. this was achieved firstly by using two noise synths with middling cutoff values (90 and 100) using short release times along with a noise with a longer release time but with a low cutoff value (which makes the noise less crisp and more rumbly.) let’s combine all these techniques to see if we can use additive synthesis to re create a basic bell sound. i’ve broken this example into four sections. firstly we have the ‘hit’ section which is the initial onset part of the bell sound   so uses a short envelope (e.g. a release: of around 0.1). next we have the long ringing section in which i’m using the pure sound of the sine wave. notice that i’m often increasing the note by roughly 12 and 24 which are the number of notes in one and two octaves. i have also thrown in a couple of low sine waves to give the sound some bass and depth. finally, i used define to wrap my code in a function which i can then use to play a melody. try playing your own melody and also messing around with the contents of the :bell function until you create your own crazy sound to play with! this is the second in a series of articles on how to use sonic pi for sound design. last month we looked at additive synthesis which we discovered was the simple act of playing multiple sounds at the same time to make a new combined sound. for example we could combine different sounding synths or even the same synth at different pitches to build a new complex sound from simple ingredients. this month we’ll look at a new technique commonly called subtractive synthesis which is simply the act of taking an existing complex sound and removing parts of it to create something new. this is a technique which is commonly associated with the sound of analog synthesisers of the 1960s and 1970s but also with the recent renaissance of modular analog synths through popular standards such as eurorack. despite this sounding like a particularly complicated and advanced technique, sonic pi makes it surprisingly simple and easy   so let’s dive right in. for a sound to work well with subtractive synthesis, it typically needs to be fairly rich and interesting. this doesn’t mean we need something hugely complex   in fact, just a standard :square or :saw wave will do: notice that this sound is already pretty interesting and contains many different frequencies above :e2 (the second e on a piano) which add to create the timbre. if that didn’t make much sense to you, try comparing it with the :beep: as the :beep synth is just a sine wave, you’ll hear a much purer tone and only at :e2 and none of the high crispy/buzzy sounds which you heard in the :saw. it’s this buzziness and variation from a pure sine wave that we can play with when we use subtractive synthesis. once we have our raw source signal, the next step is to pass it through a filter of some kind which will modify the sound by removing or reducing parts of it. one of the most common filters used for subtractive synthesis is something called a low pass filter. this will allow all the low parts of the sound through but will reduce or remove the higher parts. sonic pi has a powerful yet simple to use fx system that includes a low pass filter, called :lpf. let’s play with it: if you listen carefully you’ll hear how some of that buzziness and crispiness has been removed. in fact, all the frequencies in the sound above note 100 have been reduced or removed and only the ones below are still present in the sound. try changing that cutoff: point to lower notes, say 70 and then 50 and compare the sounds. of course, the :lpf isn’t the only filter you can use to manipulate the source signal. another important fx is the high pass filter referred to as :hpf in sonic pi. this does the opposite to :lpf in that it lets the high parts of the sound through and cuts off the low parts. notice how this sounds much more buzzy and raspy now that all the low frequency sounds have been removed. play around with the cutoff value   notice how lower values let more of the original bass parts of the source signal through and higher values sound increasingly tinny and quiet. the low pass filter is such an important part of every subtractive synthesis toolkit that it’s worth taking a deeper look at how it works. this diagram shows the same sound wave (the :prophet synth) with varying amounts of filtering. at the top, section a shows the audio wave with no filtering. notice how the wave form is very pointy and contains lots of sharp edges. it is these hard, sharp angles that produce the high crispy/buzzy parts of the sound. section b shows the low pass filter in action   notice how it is less pointy and more rounded than the wave form above. this means that the sound will have fewer high frequencies giving it a more mellow rounded feel. section c shows the low pass filter with a fairly low cutoff value   this means that even more of the high frequencies have been removed from the signal resulting in an even softer, rounder wave form. finally, notice how the size of the wave form, which represents the amplitude, decreases as we move from a to c. subtractive synthesis works by removing parts of the signal which means that the overall amplitude is reduced as the amount of filtering that is taking place increases. so far we’ve just produced fairly static sounds. in other words, the sound doesn’t change in any way for the entirety of its duration. often you might want some movement in the sound to give the timbre some life. one way to achieve this is via filter modulation   changing the filter’s options through time. luckily sonic pi gives you powerful tools to manipulate an fx’s opts through time. for example, you can set a slide time to each modulatable opt to specify how long it should take for the current value to linearly slide to the target value: let’s take a quick look at what’s going on here. firstly we start an :lpf fx block as normal with an initial cutoff: of a very low 20. however, the first line also finishes with the strange |fx| at the end. this is an optional part of the with_fx syntax which allows you to directly name and control the running fx synth. line 2 does exactly this and controls the fx to set the cutoff_slide: opt to 4 and the new target cutoff: to be 130. the fx will now start sliding the cutoff: opt’s value from 50 to 130 over a period of 3 beats. finally we also trigger a source signal synth so we can hear the effect of the modulated low pass filter. this is just a very basic taster of what’s possible when you use filters to modify and change a source sound. try playing with sonic pi’s many built in fx to see what crazy sounds you can design. if your sound feels too static, remember you can start modulating the options to create some movement. let’s finish by designing a function which will play a new sound created with subtractive synthesis. see if you can figure out what’s going on here   and for the advanced sonic pi readers out there   see if you can work out why i wrapped everything inside a call to at (please send answers to @samaaron on twitter). (this article was published in issue 9 of the hello world magazine) code is one of the most creative media that humans have created. the initially obscure symbols of parentheses and lambdas are not just deeply rooted in science and mathematics, they are the closest we have managed to get to casting the same kind of magical spells as gandalf and harry potter. i believe that this provides a powerful means of engagement in our learning spaces. through the magic of code we are able to conjure up individually meaningful stories and learning experiences. we are surrounded by magical experiences. from the sleight of hand of a stage magician making the ball disappear into thin air, to the wonder of seeing your favourite band perform on a big stage. it is these “wow” moments that inspire us to pick up a magic book and learn the french drop or to start jamming power chords on an old guitar. how might we create similarly deep and lasting senses of wonder that will motivate people to practice and learn the fundamentals of programming? the histories of music and computers have been intricately woven together since the inception of computing machines, or “engines” as charles babbage’s powerful analytical engine was called. back in 1842 the mathematician ada lovelace, who worked very closely with babbage, saw the creative potential of these engines. whilst these first engines had originally been designed to accurately solve hard maths problems, ada dreamt about making music with them: ”..the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent.” ada lovelace, 1842. of course, today in 2019 much of our music, regardless of genre, has either been composed, produced or mastered with a digital computer. ada’s dream came true. it is even possible to trace the history back even further. if you see coding as the art of writing sequences of special symbols that instruct a computer to do specific things, then musical composition is a very similar practice. in western music, the symbols are black dots positioned on a stave of lines that tell the musician which notes to play and when. intriguingly, if we trace the roots of western music notation back to the italian benedictine monk, guido d’arezzo, we find that the dots and lines system that modern orchestras use is just one of a number of notation systems he worked on. some of the others were much closer to what we might now see as code. in education, magical meaningful experiences with computers and programming languages have been explored since the late ’60s. computer education pioneers seymour papert, marvin minsky and cynthia solomon explored simple lisp based languages that moved pens over large pieces of paper. with just a few simple commands it was possible to program the computer to draw any picture. they even experimented by extending their logo language from drawing to music. papert wrote about learning through experiencing the reconstruction of knowledge rather than its transmission. getting people to play with things directly was an important part of his group’s work. jylda and sam aaron perform at the thinking digital conference in the sage gateshead. photo credit: tynesight photos. sonic pi has been used to perform in a wide range of venues such as school halls, nightclubs, outdoor stages at musical festivals, college chapels and prestigious music venues. for example the amazing convo project which brought 1000 children together in the royal albert hall to perform an ambitious new composition by composer charlotte harding. the piece was written for traditional instruments, choirs, percussion and sonic pi code. the pop artist jylda also performed with sonic pi in the sage gateshead for the thinking digital conference, where she created a unique live coded improvised remix of her song reeled. sonic pi used as one of the instruments as part of convo at the royal albert hall. photo credit: pete jones. sonic pi is a code based music creation and performance tool that builds on all of these ideas. unlike the majority of computing education software, it is both simple enough to use for education and also powerful enough for professionals. it has been used to perform in international music festivals, used to compose in a range of styles from classical, edm and heavy metal, and was even reviewed in the rolling stone magazine. it has a diverse community of over 1.5 million live coders with a variety of backgrounds all learning and sharing their ideas and thoughts through the medium of code. it is free to download for mac, pc and raspberry pi and includes a friendly tutorial that assumes you know nothing about either code or music. sonic pi was initially conceived as a response to the uk’s newly released computing curriculum in 2014. the goal was to find a motivating and fun way to teach the fundamentals of programming. it turns out that there is a lot in common and it’s huge fun to explain sequencing as melody, iteration as rhythm, conditionals as musical variety. i developed the initial designs and first iterations of the platform with carrie anne philbin, who brought a teacher’s perspective to the project. since then, sonic pi has undergone iterative improvements thanks to the feedback gained from observing learners and collaborating directly with educators in the classroom. a core design philosophy was to never add a feature that couldn’t be easily taught to a 10 year old child. this meant that most ideas had to be heavily refined and reworked until they were simple enough. making things simple whilst keeping them powerful continues to be the hardest part of the project. in order to provide the magical motivation, sonic pi’s design was never limited to a pure focus on education. ideally there would be famous musicians and performers using sonic pi as a standard instrument alongside guitars, drums, vocals, synths, violins, etc. these performers would then act as motivational role models demonstrating the creative potential of code. for this to be possible sufficient focus and effort therefore had to be placed on making it a powerful instrument whilst still keeping it simple enough for 10 year olds to pick up. in addition to educators, i also worked directly with a variety of different artists in classrooms, art galleries, studios and venues in the early stages of sonic pi’s development. this provided essential feedback which enabled sonic pi to grow and ultimately flourish as a tool for creative expression. there were a number of exciting and unexpected side effects of this dual focus on education and professional musicians. many of the features are beneficial to both groups. for example, a lot of effort has been put into making error messages more friendly and useful (rather than being a huge complicated mess of jargon). this turns out to be very useful when you write a bug while performing in front of thousands of people. additionally, functionality such as playing studio quality audio samples, adding audio effects, providing access to live audio from the microphone all turn out to make the learning experience more fun, rewarding and ultimately meaningful. the sonic pi community continues to grow and share amazing code compositions, lesson plans, musical algorithms, and much more. much of this happens on our friendly forum in_thread (in thread.sonic pi.net) which is home to a very diverse group of people that includes educators, musicians, programmers, artists and makers. it is a real joy to see people learn to use code to express themselves in new ways and for that in turn to inspire others to do the same. from a computer science perspective, sonic pi provides you with the building blocks to teach you the basics as found in the uk’s curriculum such as sequencing, iteration, conditionals, functions, data structures, algorithms, etc. however, it also builds on a number of important and relevant concepts which have become adopted in mainstream industry such as concurrency, events, pattern matching, distributed computing and determinism   all whilst keeping things simple enough to explain to a 10 year old child. getting started is as simple as: a melody can be constructed with one more command, sleep: in this example, we play the note 70 (roughly the 70th note on a piano), wait for 1 second, play note 72, wait for half a second and then play note 75. what’s interesting here is that with just two commands we have access to pretty much all of western notation (which notes to play and when) and learners can code any melody they’ve ever heard. this leads to huge variety in expressive outcomes whilst focussing on the same computing concept: sequencing in this case. taking ideas from the professional music world, we can also play back any recorded sound. sonic pi can play any audio file on your computer but also has a number of sounds built in to make things easy to get started: this code will play back the drum break which was a pillarstone to early hip hop, drum and bass and jungle. for example, a number of early hip hop artists played this drum break back at half speed to give it a more laid back feeling: in the 90s a number of music scenes burst out of new technology which enabled artists to take drum breaks like this apart and reassemble in a different order. for example: in this example we introduce a basic loop called :jungle which picks a random drum hit from our audio sample, waits for an eighth of a second and then picks another drum hit. this results in an endless stream of random drum beats to dance to whilst you experience what a loop is. this section will cover some very useful   in fact essential   knowledge for getting the most out of your sonic pi experience. we’ll cover how to take advantage of the many keyboard shortcuts available to you, how to share your work and some tips on performing with sonic pi. sonic pi is as much an instrument as a coding environment. shortcuts can therefore make playing sonic pi much more efficient and natural   especially when you’re playing live in front of an audience. much of sonic pi can be controlled through the keyboard. as you gain more familiarity working and performing with sonic pi, you’ll likely start using the shortcuts more and more. i personally touch type (i recommend you consider learning too) and find myself frustrated whenever i need to reach for the mouse as it slows me down. i therefore use all of these shortcuts on a very regular basis! therefore, if you learn the shortcuts, you’ll learn to use your keyboard effectively and you’ll be live coding like a pro in no time. however, don’t try and learn them all at once, just try and remember the ones you use most and then keep adding more to your practice. imagine you’re learning the clarinet. you’d expect all clarinets of all makes to have similar controls and fingerings. if they didn’t, you’d have a tough time switching between different clarinets and you’d be stuck to using just one make. unfortunately the three major operating systems (linux, mac os x and windows) come with their own standard defaults for actions such as cut and paste etc. sonic pi will try and honour these standards. however priority is placed on consistency across platforms within sonic pi rather than attempting to conform to a given platform’s standards. this means that when you learn the shortcuts whilst playing with sonic pi on your raspberry pi, you can move to the mac or pc and feel right at home. part of the notion of consistency is the naming of shortcuts. in sonic pi we use the names control and meta to refer to the two main combination keys. on all platforms control is the same. however, on linux and windows, meta is actually the alt key while on mac meta is the command key. for consistency we’ll use the term meta   just remember to map that to the appropriate key on your operating system. to help keep things simple and readable, we’ll use the abbreviations c  for control plus another key and m  for meta plus another key. for example, if a shortcut requires you to hold down both meta and r we’ll write that as m r. the   just means “at the same time as.” the following are some of the shortcuts i find most useful. instead of always reaching for the mouse to run your code, you can simply press m r. similarly, to stop running code you can press m s. i’m really lost without the navigation shortcuts. i therefore highly recommend you spend the time to learn them. these shortcuts also work extremely well when you’ve learned to touch type as they use the standard letters rather than requiring you to move your hand to the mouse or the arrow keys on your keyboard. you can move to the beginning of the line with c a, the end of the line with c e, up a line with c p, down a line with c n, forward a character with c f, and back a character with c b. you can even delete all the characters from the cursor to the end of the line with c k. to auto align your code simply press m m. to toggle the help system you can press m i. however, a much more useful shortcut to know is c i which will look up the word underneath the cursor and display the docs if it finds anything. instant help! for a full list take a look at section 10.2 shortcut cheatsheet. the following is a summary of the main shortcuts available within sonic pi. please see section 10.1 for motivation and background. in this list, we use the following conventions (where meta is one of alt on windows/linux or cmd on mac): sonic pi is all about sharing and learning with each other. once you’ve learned how to code music, sharing your compositions is as simple as sending an email containing your code. please do share your code with others so they can learn from your work and even use parts in a new mash up. if you’re unsure of the best way to share your work with others i recommend putting your code on github and your music on soundcloud. that way you’ll be able to easily reach a large audience. github is a site for sharing and working with code. it’s used by professional developers as well as artists for sharing and collaborating with code. the simplest way to share a new piece of code (or even an unfinished piece) is to create a gist. a gist is a simple way of uploading your code in a simple way that others can see, copy and share. another important way of sharing your work is to record the audio and upload it to soundcloud. once you’ve uploaded your piece, other users can comment and discuss your work. i also recommend placing a link to a gist of your code in the track description. to record your work, hit the rec button in the toolbar, and recording starts immediately. hit run to start your code if it isn’t already in progress. when you’re done recording, press the flashing rec button again, and you’ll be prompted to enter a filename. the recording will be saved as a wav file, which can be edited and converted to mp3 by any number of free programs (try audacity for instance). i encourage you to share your work and really hope that we’ll all teach each other new tricks and moves with sonic pi. i’m really excited by what you’ll have to show me. one of the most exciting aspects of sonic pi is that it enables you to use code as a musical instrument. this means that writing code live can now be seen as a new way of performing music. we call this live coding. when you live code i recommend you show your screen to your audience. otherwise it’s like playing a guitar but hiding your fingers and the strings. when i practice at home i use a raspberry pi and a little mini projector on my living room wall. you could use your tv or one of your school/work projectors to give a show. try it, it’s a lot of fun. don’t just play on your own   form a live coding band! it’s a lot of fun jamming with others. one person could do beats, another ambient background, etc. use the live_audio functionality to combine code with traditional instruments such as a guitar or a microphone. see what interesting combinations of sounds you can create with code. live coding isn’t completely new   a small number of people have been doing it for a few years now, typically using bespoke systems they’ve built for themselves. a great place to go and find out more about other live coders and systems is toplap. another great resource for exploring the live coding world is algorave. here you can find all about a specific strand of live coding for making music in nightclubs. sonic pi now supports a simple api for interacting with minecraft pi   the special edition of minecraft which is installed by default on the raspberry pi’s raspbian linux based operating system. the minecraft pi integration has been designed to be insanely easy to use. all you need to do is to launch minecraft pi and create a world. you’re then free to use the mc_* fns just like you might use play and synth. there’s no need to import anything or install any libraries   it’s all ready to go and works out of the box. the minecraft pi api takes care of managing your connection to the minecraft pi application. this means you don’t need to worry about a thing. if you try and use the minecraft pi api when minecraft pi isn’t open, sonic pi will politely tell you. similarly, if you close minecraft pi whilst you’re still running a live_loop that uses the api, the live loop will stop and politely tell you that it can’t connect. to reconnect, just launch minecraft pi again and sonic pi will automatically detect and re create the connection for you. the minecraft pi api has been designed to work seamlessly within live_loops. this means it’s possible to synchronise modifications in your minecraft pi worlds with modifications in your sonic pi sounds. instant minecraft based music videos! note however that minecraft pi is alpha software and is known to be slightly buggy. if you encounter any problems simply restart minecraft pi and carry on as before. sonic pi’s automatic connection functionality will take care of things for you. it is highly recommended that you use a raspberry pi 2 if you wish to run both sonic pi and minecraft at the same time   especially if you want to use sonic pi’s sound capabilities. at this stage, sonic pi supports basic block and player manipulations which are detailed in section 11.1. support for event callbacks triggered by player interactions in the world is planned for a future release. sonic pi currently supports the following basic interactions with minecraft pi: let’s look at each of these in turn. let’s see just how easy it is to control minecraft pi from sonic pi. first, make sure you have both minecraft pi and sonic pi open at the same time and also make sure you’ve entered a minecraft world and can walk around. in a fresh sonic pi buffer simply enter the following code: when you hit the run button, you’ll see your message flash up on the minecraft window. congratulations, you’ve written your first minecraft code! that was easy wasn’t it. now, let’s try a little magic. let’s teleport ourselves somewhere! try the following: when you hit run   boom! you’re instantantly transported to a new place. most likely it was somewhere in the sky and you fell down either to dry land or into water. now, what are those numbers: 50, 50, 50? they’re the coordinates of the location you’re trying to teleport to. let’s take a brief moment to explore what coordinates are and how they work because they’re really, really important for programming minecraft. imagine a pirate’s map with a big x marking the location of some treasure. the exact location of the x can be described with two numbers   how far along the map from left to right and how far along the map from bottom to top. for example 10cm across and 8cm up. these two numbers 10 and 8 are coordinates. you could easily imagine describing the locations of other stashes of treasure with other pairs of numbers. perhaps there’s a big chest of gold at 2 across and 9 up… now, in minecraft two numbers isn’t quite enough. we also need to know how high we are. we therefore need three numbers: one more thing   we typically describe these coordinates in this order x, y, z. let’s have a play with coordinates. navigate to a nice place in the minecraft map and then switch over to sonic pi. now enter the following: when you hit the run button you’ll see the coordinates of your current position displayed in the log window. take a note of them, then move forward in the world and try again. notice how the coordinates changed! now, i recommend you spend some time repeating exactly this   move a bit in the world, take a look at the coordinates and repeat. do this until you start to get a feel for how the coordinates change when you move. once you’ve understood how coordinates work, programming with the minecraft api will be a complete breeze. now that you know how to find the current position and to teleport using coordinates, you have all the tools you need to start building things in minecraft with code. let’s say you want to make the block with coordinates 40, 50, 60 to be glass. that’s super easy: haha, it really was that easy. to see your handywork just teleport nearby and take a look: now turn around and you should see your glass block! try changing it to diamond: if you were looking in the right direction you might have even seen it change in front of your eyes! this is the start of something exciting… let’s look at one last thing before we move onto something a bit more involved. given a set of coordinates we can ask minecraft what the type of a specific block is. let’s try it with the diamond block you just created: yey! it’s :diamond. try changing it back to glass and asking again   does it now say :glass? i’m sure it does : ) before you go on a minecraft pi coding rampage, you might find this list of available block types useful: sonic pi tutorial v3.2

fillmore county journal "where fillmore county news comes first" may 18, 2020 by commentary submissions 4,966 comments to the editor, kudos to jeff erding for writing “fact checking the haters,” april 20, 2020; as a counter to the misinformation and outright lies put out by the left leaning mainstream media. as expected, the leftist media is exploiting the covid 19 pandemic to smear him as a complete “failure” and even describing him as a “sociopath” while gleefully discussing how this pandemic can help the democratic socialists in 2020. why do leftists hate america? america is a massive refutation of their utopian fantasy, universal equality. they compare america with their vision of a perfect country which has never existed. rather than change their false theories, they lash out at america and conservatives, including trump. if we consider a “perfect” country, it is not hard to find problems in america: racial prejudice, economic exploitation and inequality, greed, etc. however, countries do not exist in fantasyland; they exist in the real world. however, the world that surrounds us is not too idyllic. if we compare the us to its surroundings, america is the one that begins to resemble an idealized paradise. otherwise, why do so many foreign nationals risk life and limb to get to america? in any election, the overriding consideration in voting should be the political ideologies associated with candidates and the direction america should take. is it: a. american conservatism, promoted by republicans and founded on biblical/christian principles that have resulted in the greatest country to have ever existed? or, b. democratic socialism, based on godless marxism that has resulted in catastrophic failure with over 100 million people murdered by their governments in the 20 th century alone, with millions more living in poverty and misery whenever and wherever it’s been tried? venezuela is a current example. gerald j. boyum rochester, minn. filed under: commentary tagged with: covid 19, letter to the editor jenny says september 26, 2024 at 3:24 am gerald j. boyum’s letter presents a strong perspective on the political divide in america, though it simplifies a complex issue. while it’s fair to critique both political ideologies, labeling one side as solely responsible for the nation’s challenges overlooks the importance of dialogue and collaboration in democracy. america’s strength lies in its diversity of thought and the constant push for improvement. instead of perpetuating a narrative of hate, perhaps we should focus on finding common ground, addressing real issues like inequality and justice, and working together for a better future. political differences shouldn’t equate to hatred for the country we all share. roger c says september 30, 2024 at 4:14 pm they hate draft dodger trump !!!! not america david says october 17, 2024 at 1:50 pm hi roger c.: thanks for your self incriminating evidence that those which aquire their [fake] news from abc, cbs, nbc, msnbc, cnn, pbs, npr, & the young jerks; allow themselves to be missled & lied to & thus become, & most likely will stay underinformed. roger, were you the one who vandalized my vehicle & removed my nobama! bumper sticker? folks, roger represents the hateful left, mob rules mentality. these types are sheeple people who are incapable of thinking for themselves. • i am not a republican. i identify as an independent voter. this being said, the democrat party history has been greatly misrepresented. simpley put, in actuality, they’ve embodied narcissism! • kamala harris’s track record is horrific. besides, she is a genuine marxist! •the united nations, backed by the new world order, is assisting illegal aliens in flooding our boarders. there is nothing legal about this. • president donald j. trump is an american patriot. sacrificing a “life of lyxury” for to defend the american people. he is an ethical business man who is shrewd enough to know what posturing is needed when operating in “shark infested waters”. • the liberal progressive hateful left cannot out debate president donald j. trump on the issues, so they have chosen (as far back as 2015) to assult him & his entire family with a war of slander against this awsome, honorable, terrific hero! • president donald j. trump & vice president j.d. vance are sanity in an insane world. • make america great again! again!! robert d jarsulic says october 22, 2024 at 5:13 pm amen to that! i’m voting on the republican ticket as an independant voter because trump is the best choice. and if they let the man alone and quit trying to set him up on crap i believe he could really get our country back where it needs to be at. god bless trump/vance & the united states of america mrs. pardo says november 8, 2024 at 9:38 pm you really think trump is a good choice i don’t understand how anyone in there right mind would allow a person who talks about there daughter in a nasty way or who has raped many woman and be allow to be a president i was raped by my step dad when i was 8 9 years old and this why we don’t reported because they threaten us and people believe the rapist and that really makes me sick tell your self would you really trust him alone with your child haven’t you seen what he did in the 1990’s your no better than that sick man gary price says october 24, 2024 at 5:16 pm wow! that was perfect 👌! liberals brains 🧠 are just completely different than ours are. personally, i can look at someone now after the past 8 years and know whether or not they are a liberal. they look different, they think different, and they act different. for example: conservatives don’t start burning down cities when they don’t get their way, or, start looting and terrorizing people in large packs. i think they’re lazy people in general, they have zero motivation to do anything. they actually want large government to coddle them and their belief systems. they want to be taken care of. moderate sane american says november 14, 2024 at 10:32 am jan 6th trump supporters attacked the capital. you truly are a trump cult member. you are foaming at the mouth with hatred and saying ‘my people arent crazy… those other people not like me are the baddies. the decline in mental health from people not dealing with their own flaws and projecting them on others is sad. we all want freedom, secure borders, good jobs, and children. forcing the church into the government should have been the 1st red flag if you value democracy. that was why we are all here in the usa. the founders wanted to not have the church and a king dictate their life. that’s why its written to be separate. america is not a christen nation but a nation of many religions that are [soon to be where] able to believe what we wanted. america under trump that separation and freedom is gone. you pray to who he says you should. that’s not an american value nor should it be. kayla blain says january 29, 2025 at 9:33 am um doh ..yes they did ..what happened in an 6th 2021…you think shitting in the capitol bldg along with all the other “caught on tape” visuals were fake?? don’t think anyone would put out that kinda money to show a fake insurrection… who are the evil actors you seem to be blaming as far left?? another opinion another day…. joyce starnes says november 2, 2024 at 6:16 pm sorry to say , i just watched the trump rally in msg , now that was total hate, unbelievable, there’s no getting pass that one, can’t believe this person is actually trying to be the leader, then i watched the harris rally at the eclipse, all i seen was a plan , a touch on our history and a offering of a great america, never heard her say one bad thing about our country or her people..seeing america as one people. seeing a future, not even boasting about the great economy, and all the great accomplishment , didn’t even remind us of the great economy that trump inherited. she just speaks of the us moving forward, that’s what america is , that’s what makes america great , we do great things, together. as one nation under god. we are americans , with a reputation of greatness. kent perry says november 4, 2024 at 7:50 pm you never see american flags at a democrat rally. you never hear democrats chant “usa, usa”. you never hear how fortunate we are to live in the land of milk and honey. you only hear about how racist we are, that our nation was built on the backs of slaves and that we stole most if not all the land for white supremacists. democrats can’t wipe their own ass without blaming trump for the stink on the paper. nobody likes democrats anymore and many of their most notable members and their tinsel town twits, have been switching party. they know you’re all a bunch of whack jobs. kamala is not a leader, she is a whore a prostitute and someone putin referred to as the “politburo pump” she literally f*cked her way to the top. friend of truth says november 26, 2024 at 9:22 am who are you, really? tukwila, washington moderate sane american says november 14, 2024 at 10:10 am i am so sad to see this maga movement destroy the american democratic dream. when they find out how wrong they have been i hope they take a good look in the mirror and say… what did i do. highly doubt it though. people should read more and the would see this is what germany went thru. where will our berlin wall be i wonder. barbara geib says november 18, 2024 at 11:36 am i agree with you one hundred percent… roger cruise says november 23, 2024 at 2:58 am poland just got free from russian grip on their throat !! after ukrain they are next !!! but i guess john f kennedys promes to defend any friend was all talk ??? worse yet was hitler came to power with common thugery and lies !!! but its ok !! lies are ok from 2016 till now __kids seperated from thire moms and dads __for e v e r !!!! lost in america but its ok we were at war 20 years !!! and biden stopped it ____bad biden ????we are sorry 16 v o l e n t e e r s were killed !! bury them at arlington !! all though my uncle was kia on okenowa 1944 all brave americans !! like john mc cain ____you know right from wrong after all your a grown up ranee says november 28, 2024 at 9:26 pm i know of good people in prison that would give less fortunate men the shoes of there feet the the less fortunate would there strength also. i know women in prison that hurt other people because someone was harming their loved one. but no one stands that until they walk in the convicted shoes. anonymous says november 26, 2024 at 9:45 pm david. have you ever been oppressed? have you ever been racially profiled? have you been stolen from your bed and shanghaied to a foreign country to slave for a culture who treat you like an animal? if not you need to close your mouth an admit this traumatized human being is not a puppet but a real person. debra bishop says december 1, 2024 at 5:40 pm make america great again it will have to wait 4 more years. donald trump is a convicted felon cannot be trusted at all. i want to puke everytime i see that draft dodging piece of crap. julie says december 4, 2024 at 12:22 am i loved what you said! it was poignant and intelligent and what’s more completely true. people spent too much time this past election voting for her just because they didn’t like him! it’s not about your personal feelings towards a candidate it’s about the issues of the country! this isn’t a high school popularity contest this is the future of our country and just like you said above donald trump has given up a life of luxury to help us get this miserable misled country back on its feet again! he is aided by top businessman who are intelligent and absolutely amazing in their thought processes. i am so excited to see what president trump vice president jd vance as well as ramaswamy and musk are going to make this country great again! the people have spoken! elizabeth says january 7, 2025 at 4:06 pm trump did not give up his life of luxury, he just got bored, and he lusts for more power and even more luxury, putin style, he is now going to happily rape the world and destroy everything. including himself. he thinks he will escape to luxury underground bunkers or luxury spaceships, while the world suffers and burns. no one escapes the eyes of god. scpu227 says january 17, 2025 at 10:36 pm david: omg where have you been hiding for the past 40 years and how can you and millions of other america’s been so misinformed or mislead by chump and republican billionaires. chump is a convicted criminal, a proven sexual predator of 19 or more women (what if it was your daughter) would you still think he’s good for america. i don’t have room to list all of the crimes he’s committed and gotten away with; tax fraud, real estate tax evasion, fake chump university where he had to repay $25 million to students that signed up for his fake university, the worst ever is stealing 36 boxes of top secret documents and hiding them in maralogo fl. outrageous he’s a crook, plane and simple. for god’s sake wake up to what he really is, a liar, dishonest, a cheat and on and on. mexican workers says january 25, 2025 at 10:21 am the price of food is in trumps hands !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kayla blain says january 29, 2025 at 9:29 am you’re the whack job dude and all the other indolent cult maga members…sit back and watch as your criminal in chief and his drug addicts, alcohol, brain worm infected administration bring down the usa you claim democrats destroyed…roflmao jim morrison says february 7, 2025 at 8:17 am trump needs a final solution !!!! in dallas !!!!!_____ roger cruz says october 26, 2024 at 1:20 pm i am old and dont know the computer so they wont print what i say anonymous says october 15, 2024 at 1:11 pm great comment. glad to see some people use common sense. anonymous says december 6, 2024 at 7:44 pm why do the republicans vote for getting rid of the american government and destroy democracy for trump and his billionaire scumbags to overthrow america? los alamos joe says january 23, 2025 at 1:03 pm trump is the antithesis of the christian values of truth, love, tolerance, all humans are are your neighbor, and humility. people who love their country do not want its leader to be a jerk. the real answer says september 20, 2024 at 8:37 am to all the very brainwashed far left radical liberal low life loser people out there that want kamala, you should all go to russia and china to live where you really belong in the first place. trump to maga this nov. 2024 for the win. holy ned says september 23, 2024 at 4:30 am liberal low life? how about you getting a life. your rhetoric is pathetic….your dictator to be will endeavour to destroy us democracy. ignorance rules rino’s like you were once the republican party and want to steal political control, and the nation….your unmitigated gall would enslave us all. oscar@aol.com says september 24, 2024 at 4:37 pm holy ned he is right you brainless fool. joe smith says december 6, 2024 at 10:41 am no dude he is not. i am a canadian and i can tell you the entire would thinks that the usa has become a banana republic, all because of trump. i could not care less whom won your election, it does not really affect me (even trumps tariff threats are amusing, as they would destroy your (usa) economy as well). i am just stating a fact, that i guarantee you republicans will ignore. let the name calling begin. bob fraser says december 9, 2024 at 4:18 am absolutely. i’m a life republican but never have, nor ever will, vote for trump or his ilk. the president should be a role model to inspire your children and future generations. how can anyone seriously consider trump a role model. ron says february 2, 2025 at 2:50 pm the gross domestic product of texas was $2.1 trillion in 2o23 while the entire country of canada’s was $2.14 trillion. who do you think the tariffs will affect more? banana republic? your brain is frozen from too much ice fishing and molson. all the lies about rape are absolute nonsense. the left wing faggots will stop at nothing to smear the donald. all you left wing socialist morons are nothing more than whiny ass faggots. deez says september 27, 2024 at 3:00 pm he was already president, in fact the best president this country has had in your lifetime. you’re clearly mentally ill. tinefirchage says september 27, 2024 at 3:39 pm trump2024 trump2024 trump2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸america first .maga,maga.. bw says october 13, 2024 at 1:01 pm to tinefirchage, lets really hope so. ranee says november 28, 2024 at 9:14 pm at least he stands for what he believes in. all i see is fake names, no records, misleading ads, redirects, and animals with human features. i believe what he’s trying to say is fight for what you believe in. believe in yourself and stand up so the small people can be heard. anonymous says october 17, 2024 at 7:06 am your exactly right. the left wants communism, control of the people. it’s sad that so many americans can’t see this. ask yourself this, was your lifestyle better under trump, or biden and kamala. it’s a easy question, it was much better under donald trump the dems are driving americans to be broke. why do you think russia, china, and iran are all endorsing kamala, because they know the democratic party is weak and these countries can take advantage of us. ron says november 11, 2024 at 6:21 pm you are exactly right anonymous. gina says october 17, 2024 at 7:14 pm we are turning into china and russia. dictatorship is not what we want. canceling the constitution is not what is good for this country. he wants to be putin in charge of the air we breathe. stewart smith says october 21, 2024 at 11:49 am the only person who should. go to russia is putin loving trump then he can be safe from prosecution keyser says november 7, 2024 at 10:21 pm good point to bad the rest of your country dosent get it.. one more thing let’s have all the women get raped, have the babies in front of the oval office you have the arrogance to say what a women can and cannot do with their own bodies. maybe you should neuter every man do you think they’d bitch?.maybe lets get some more guns out there that would probably solve the problem! right donny. scpu227 says january 17, 2025 at 10:06 pm i don’t think “the real answer” has everything totally backwards. and i can guarantee you the real answer has never been to russia, china or any part of those countries. you really need to relax, take a deep breath and understand what it will be like to live under a dictator and olagarts who will determine the fate of every american citizen. god help us with chump behind the wheel. zonker. tm says september 17, 2024 at 12:16 pm were you fascist sympathizers born with a ring in your noses? it’s a joke, just how a man of middling intelligence…can listen to an audio, cliff notes version on the tactics used by adolf hitler, and jim jones…can effortlessly, lead you fools around by your nose accessories. you regurgitate his “doom and gloom”, fear mongerings…as if they were something handed down to him, from the heavens…instead of being the tired and flaccid, same old same old lies your reich publican masters have been spewing, for the last half century. i figured out why y’all want to insure that no pregnancy of the result of incest and inbreeding be terminated; how else to, fill your reich wing base, with new voters? they’re the only ones who would possibly support the reich publican party, as y’all have re made it, today. sadly for you…most of them will be too smart to vote, with you nazis. normal human says september 27, 2024 at 4:10 pm says the party that silences anyone who disagrees with them, indicts political opponents, riots and destroys cities across the country over the sake of a felon who lost his life while in the process of committing another crime. says the party that has confirmed members of the democratic party try to assassinate their political opponent, call for a ‘cooling down of rhetoric’ on main stream media and you want to call trump a threat to democracy? hillary clinton goes on television and says that people need to go to prison for their ‘propaganda’ which is free speech weather you agree with it or not but conservatives are the fascists right? . the left constantly regurgitates the same thing no matter which of them i talk to. lgbtqiaxyz++++ agenda, open borders so you all can take the “refugees” and put them wherever it fits the democratic party best. even without the right to vote illegal immigrants are counted in the us census and that increases congressional seats as well as electoral college votes. anti gun rhetoric because guns are evil but if the cops come who do you call? the police who have guns. oh wait you guys voted to defund the police in your cities as well. i guess you’ll just have to get robbed by anyone that comes into your home as well. when covid came around and told everyone that if they don’t get the shot then you lose your livelihood, but that wasn’t “forced” was it? you all claim to to be the party of science but in the same breath will say that trans women can get pregnant and that if a woman is pregnant it’s just a clump of cells as if that isn’t another human being in that woman’s belly. you’re delusional. wake up anonymous says september 28, 2024 at 10:10 pm love has no enemies but hate ron says november 11, 2024 at 6:28 pm guess you were wrong zonker. your comments only prove how stupid

republicans worship a convicted rapist, known traitor, serial liar, serial adulterer, philanderer, felon, russian sympathizer, and functional illiterate with a third grade reading capacity, which i know because i’ve run the text of his 2024 speeches through a fleisch kincaid readability analysis. is it because republicans just hate america or because they love russia? nery says march 24, 2024 at 6:06 am that’s just it, far right republican maga party claims they’re oh so shiny and patriotic yet you pay homage to a man with the vocabulary of a middle schooler, the anger of false deity poseidon and the financial accumen of a flea… the average millionaire only claims bankruptcy approximately 3.5 times in their lifetime, your illustrious leader has 13 times and counting… 94 indictments jjj

brain washed or brain dead by all the lies spread by demo’s about trump and the republican party or just listen to all the garbage spread by news media about trump.. anyone in politics or any other form of government who opens our border and allows anyone from every country in the world into our country are traitors to our country. i look at someone as a leader who works to protect our country and helps the people of our country. what has the demo’s done for the people or our country …. nothing except ruin our country. i’m a independent and i vote for which ever party is running on things that make our country great and help our people and that certainly is not the demo’s…. i voted for biden and i am really sorry i did. i will never vote demo again as long as demo’s are trying to be dictators and trying to ruin our country and take away our freedom of speech and our rights. jim says july 1, 2024 at 8:03 am just like khrushchev predicted america will fall from within , it all started years ago with universities acceptance of democratic socialism and the brainwashing/indoctrination of american college students for generations that comes with it and will end with another civil war and the death of millions of american , this is not an opinion but a warning to all young people ,all governments and political parties lie , they are made up of imperfect and corrupt power seekers , nothing is what it seems john says july 6, 2024 at 3:39 am is obiden in the latter stages of dementi connie says april 2, 2024 at 10:27 am henry. let’s do compare. trump earned every penny he made. he worked his back end off, so did his father. his father made him start at the very bottom and work himself up the ladder so he understood every persons position he would eventually hire one day. now lets look at what biden has done to earn his millions? nothing. what business has he made other than selling out america to her enemies?. he could sell all his homes too and should as they were bought and paid for by our enemies and our tax dollars. bob says july 1, 2024 at 4:10 am actually donald’s first venture into working as a trump was a huge multi million dollar deal with the type of (incoming) tax breaks and rezoning residential areas that fred will tap the right person to bring in soon.) kind, sensible and thoughtful fred who would put donald in every job in the business first, disappeared from other’s fantasies and was replaced by historical fred. at a large social gathering at the trumps, donald wandered into the room where fred was designing and negotiating the deals for donald’s huge first significant business proposal. poor donald accidently stumbled into the room where donald was taking his first huge stride in his career.. fred yelled ar him to ‘shut the f*** up and f*** off.. donald left the room where donald was making his first huge business deal. uh look ar donald. he obviously is not the type who conscientiously worked away in minor job roles. he’s an idiot who just a few months after entering discussions to get himself added to mount rushmore cannot believe he is automatically granted the election he just wanted and couldn’t understand he couldn’t have. his second business deal was a major landfall for the mafia’s concrete company. lindy b. says july 1, 2024 at 8:11 pm trump was given $400,000,000 many years before he was old enough t work. you are an idiot if you think he even knows what work is. clairette rose says july 5, 2024 at 2:32 pm connie   i have no idea where you got the idea that “trump earned every penny he made.” you are seriously misinformed about his business success, and how he made his money. your willingness to repeat statements that have no factual basis, and that are easily fact checked, is a sign of what is wrong with the maga cult followers, and the adulation that trump’s supporters mistakenly show him. trump didn’t “earn every penny he made”. you must have been smoking something very strong when you wrote those words. donnie was was a rich kid whose father staked him to begin with   and while dad was still living, the two of them worked together lying, cheating, and stealing from contractors, laborers and others whom they hired, while using every lying trick and rotten angle to prevent those whom they cheated from ever recovering any of their lost payments or investments. at one point, the trump company was sued by the doj for blatantly violating federal fair housing laws against discriminating against minorities in their rental properties. the feds won that case! your comments about biden’s “millions” are absolutely false   along with the blatant lies about “all his homes” (he has two modest properties   one a beach house, the other one he has owned in wilmington for many years). as for those properties having been “bought and paid for by our enemies and our tax dollars.”   i can only say, without insulting you as much as your ignorance and gullibility warrant   that it is trump who has ostentatiously been the “useful idiot” for putin; mbs  crown prince of saudi arabia (who sent trump’s son in law jared kushner home with two billion dollars in what can only be described as a pay off for favors rendered. shame on you for lacking the education and intelligence that jefferson said would be needed for the democratic republic of the us to thrive and survive.. el vez says july 24, 2024 at 6:34 pm ah, someone with a brain who can read. if only those two things were required to vote. clairette rose says july 5, 2024 at 2:44 pm “if a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was, and never will be” thomas jefferson was understood that to survive and thrive, a democratic nation required a citizenry that was educated, enlightened, and engaged in the processes of democracy. nemoi says july 11, 2024 at 1:55 pm jefferson was absolutely correct. the key to the success of a republic established by the founding fnemoathers was based on the virtue of its citizens. proper education, knowledge, strong moral fiber, engagement in the process of governance, steadfastness and courage. i must add to these traits that of proper vigilance. otherwise, they are not fit to govern themselves but are to be ruled over. james roscoe says february 25, 2024 at 10:10 am nothing particularly insane about it. you have yet to give a real reason why. maga supporters are idiots except for unfounded claims against him . dale hartley says march 1, 2024 at 4:15 pm really? you cannot see why? 1) they live in a alternate reality based on trump…not actual reality 2) he tried to overthrow the government with a coup 3) number 2 is separate…he tried to push and armed rebellion against the legal government ( which he was in charge of at the time) then in that position of power he failed to do his duty and stop it in the best and quickest way possible 4) he stole government documents ( i am not arguing this…this is simple fact and no amount of excuses can change it) then he tried to keep them when asked nicely to give them back. 5) you are paying for his legal fees for 91 indictments, and multiple lawsuits ( which are legitimate, and have all been decided against him) when he is supposedly a billionaire ( this alone is justification for thinking you are idiots!!!) 6) he lies, and you all believe him at his word, even when ample proof is available that he lies about everything. 7) he is a fascist, and wants to be “king” or dictator of the us ( yes he is a fascist and i can prove that one, and he has admitted he wants to be a dictator on day one….dictators by the very definition do not give up power once they have it) 8) you all fail to question him, his motives, his false reality that good enough bud? or do you need more? curtis moss says march 11, 2024 at 8:44 pm 6:28 pm monday march 11, 2024 please stop regurgitating leftist exaggerations. anyone without an axe to grind can see through all the trumped up (pun intended) charges,, which in my day would have been laughed out of court, if it would have been given merit enough to have any legal forum at all. i imagine even walter cronkite would have made tongue in cheek jokes if it was mentioned at all. god save us from all fanatics; they cause less change than trouble. nikki is the only voice from that quarter i hear mainly because she doesn’t believe she needs hyperbole to state her position. anonymous says march 27, 2024 at 5:30 pm all magas are fanatics. cultist brain washed beyond help connie says april 2, 2024 at 10:37 am dale. you believe the swamp then you too are part of the swamp. trump is on record saying go peacefully. do stop twisting truth. now lets look where we are now after 3.5 years of a silly far left socialist. how are you enjoying 40% increase in cost of living with you supporting millions of illegals who are also causing many deaths to americans. do you even care about that or are you too busy hating the only man who cares about you and this country. keep up pushing these far left haters and you will get what you wished for and you will not like living in your socialist/communist country you now promote with a vengeance. redlizard64 says april 8, 2024 at 5:25 pm don’t forget billions to useless ukrainian defense…er…uni party money laundering machine!@ anonymous says june 29, 2024 at 6:45 pm you are so ignorant and brainwashed. harold says september 10, 2024 at 2:32 pm there is a mountain of evident on the communist america hating democrats. they have people in right place and are able to to keep it all hidden. j6 was a big set up. everything about it done and planned by ole nancy herself. even fbi was in on it. there’s been all kinds of evidence and witnesses that they’ve done terribly wrong with their lies. the hunter lab top mountain of evidence. the 2020 election they stole mountain of evidence and witnesses. they got people in right places. i’m sure threating or paying people off. a person would have to have shit for brains not to see through their lies and deception kimbara says february 28, 2024 at 11:14 pm you do realize that trump never took any pay in his term. four years and never took a penny or a paycheck. yes, he is rich, but he got rich being a businessman. look how rich biden has gotten thru his…..way too many years in politics. oh, and then there is obama. there are hundreds of more examples of the corruption and greed through america’s history. are you blind? pelosi….that narcissist…blamed the hair dresser when she got caught getting her hair done while americans were locked up in their homes…..they do not care about us. i could write a series of books regarding the corruption in politics. it is disgusting. i wish people would really try and watch and listen to both conservative and liberal news, etc. they have brainwashed a generation of now….young adults. they project and gaslight all the time. they sound uneducated and have no class……’come on man’……we are an embarrassment to the rest of the world. and biden…..how many laws has he, his family and the people he has put in political powers in our government. biden is a pathological liar….its not his age…..he has been lying for 30+ years….but go ahead, drink the koolaid…..watch our country turn into a place you no longer recognize or want to live in. they salivate for power and control. they are mostly narcissistic or psychopathic. no empathy…..go watch obama ‘wipe away’ invisible tears when we were all devastated by the sandy hook shooting…..absolutely no emotion. power drunk and money sick. god. bless our country and our people…i am so tired of this twilight zone life we are living in and the 3 ring circus of the far left/socialists. people need to research other countries histories. america is broke. and guess who have no worries and millions of dollars….”covid” march 2020….yes “covid”…aka….the flu, influenza……my buttons got pushed real hard reading this bs. proud midwesterner says march 7, 2024 at 6:26 am kimbara, you don’t actually prove a single maga point, you just spew more unfounded opprobrium, conspiracy theory, ad hominem, and childlike insult. you literally said nothing factual, falsifiable, empirical, or verifiable. this is why no one wants to seriously engage with gopmagas; the cognitive dissonance and distortions of confirmation bias preclude intelligent discourse. sad. memo says march 26, 2024 at 12:36 am what exactly have you contributed as fact. your seriously attempting to educate on the greatness of joe biden? oookkk. at least trump cares about america. joe biden sold out to ukraine china and russia. im not a fan of trump and its not like hes perfect but joe biden is sending america into ruines. your hatred is so extreem you wouldnt couldnt and refuse to take a step back and look at the big pucture. or maybe your benefitting greatly by his open boarders, insane policies and lies… in that case go play in a sandbox next to one of the biolabs and build yourself a big castle and be proud that your a traitor. clairette rose says july 5, 2024 at 3:13 pm memo:: if you truly believe that trump “cares about america” i wonder how you can manage to get through a day without being cheated, fooled, swindled, or actually buying the brooklyn bridge from a guy in a white suit with a mouth full of teeth as false as his promises! what drugs are you taking? please list 5 actual facts which indicate that trump “cares about america”   you are so deluded, so incapable, it seems, of taking care of yourself because you are blind to the truth, and dopily open to any and all propaganda and lies that pass your way, that if you were a relative or friend, i would hire a “keeper” for you to keep you out of trouble   and more to the point, to keep you away from any public activity in which you might, in your deluded ignorance, be making trouble for the rest of us. barry goldwater says june 23, 2024 at 10:45 am please do post a video of yourself screaming at the sky after election 2024 clairette rose says july 5, 2024 at 3:06 pm kimbara   you and many other maga / trump followers posting here are the embodiment of jefferson’s warnings about the need for an educated, enlightened citizenry if the federal democratic republic of the united states was to survive and thrive. you are an embarrassment to the gift of the constitution which the founders left to the citizens,. your inability to spot a conman, grifter, non stop liar is an embarrassment to the rest of the citiizenry. that you adulate a man with a third grade reading ability, and a vocabulary and intellect to match is a rebuke to the ideals of a free nation, and the result of decades of deliberate dumbing down of the electorate by the forces that are on the verge of destroying our country. your views are shot through with your inherent racism and hatred for minority groups, and your mistaken idea that your religion, your idea of a deity is what is needed to keep the us strong and free. you and other avid maga/trump cult followers are what con artists call “easy marks”   insufficiently educated to see past the grift, and too lazy even to fact check the false claims made by your fake leader. in private life, would you trust a man who lies about everything   including his height and weight? for all your fear and mockery of gay people or drag queen entertainers   how is it you fall to your knees to adulate a man who wears a bleached blonde wig, orange makeup, a girdle, and elevator shoes? a man who is so uneducated and ignorant that he has made the us a laughing stock in every nation he has visited in an official capacity   except for those autocracies and dictatorships who see in trump an easy “mark” to manipulate to their own ends   and to the weakening of our nation. it is your ignorance and gullibility, your lazy refusal to be the engaged and enlighened citizen that jefferson warned was needed to keep the republic he and the other founders gave to the people that have pushed the usa to the brink of disaster. jim says march 2, 2024 at 11:31 am so your solution to provide for the the “poor” , most of which have a car and a big screen, is to vilify steal from productive membwrs of society. well done comrade. lenun, stalin, mao, pol pot l, castro, and other butchers of millions would be proud of you. proud midwesterner says march 7, 2024 at 6:23 am i volunteer as a case worker helping impoverished working families who are homeless. there are no programs in 27 states that effectively reduce homelessness and federally funded programming to help them declined under trump and only temporarily went up under biden because it was tied to covid relief and has subsequently been blocked by republicans. none of these families have a flat screen and the only ones with a car are living in it. they all have at least one job but even in a metropolitan area where fast food workers get $12;an hour it’s not enough for food and housing. so you either don’t know what you’re talking about or you’re another republican liar addicted to russian propaganda and trump’s bizarre sexual fantasies. republicans condemn their perceived lack of dem values as they celebrate the de facto nomination of trump as their 2024 gopmaga candidate, who since 2016 has been proven guilty of campaign finance fraud for using donor funds to pay off and silence a porn star he was cheating with while his wife was in the hospital giving birth. this is one of at least 33,000 reasons why i can respect some republicans i can never and will never respect a trumper maga fanatic. memo says march 26, 2024 at 12:44 am you know you start out great but as usual regurgitate the propaganda you so willingly consume. biden molested his daughter for heavens sake. however i wasnt there and all i know is heresay. just like you so tired to hear the same old bs lets not forget hunter and his taxing on us peeps with his agressive self entitled ways. again heresay. so unless you have the proof then why spew the lies. i could make myself look equally as stupid with all the shenanigans of heresay i can spew on biden. but hey you go vote for this man and dont complain. c.tolentino says march 30, 2024 at 7:35 am biden never molested his daughter, your mixed up trump has said on video on talk shows how “hot” his daughter is and he would tap that!!! that is disgusting don’t lie about biden!!! you people are braindead!! connie says april 2, 2024 at 10:53 am proud midwesterner their will always be a spectrum of living from wealthy to low income. money has nothing to do with happiness. stop pretending it does. have been to parts of mexico where all they had to eat were cactus and eggs; and lived in dirt huts. they were the happiest people you have ever seen. stop trying to make everyone in your image of happiness, plenty or success. travel to most other countries and then you will see how there is no one in these united states that have anything about which to complain! this is a special place because and only because america knows where our plenty comes from…….god …….and we are a very giving people and we dont need anyone especially washington taking our money to waste on endless sick programs that bring all americans earnings down to their demented level of total waste. larrry burke says march 11, 2024 at 12:18 pm you got that right. what a load of vacuous nonsense. these people aren’t just trump’s victims, they are victims of themselves and their own lack of self worth. that’s the recipe for an unhappy existence which trump can only make worse for them. what a horrible thought. anonymous says march 29, 2024 at 6:47 pm why should only one man fight for america? liberals always want someone else to pay for things that will benefit them. liberal says november 1, 2024 at 2:19 pm …ya know trump supports corporate white collar crime…heck he’s a convicted fraudster himself. not only that, he’s about tax breaks to the richest which is basically a handout at the expense of the public. why would you vote for a loser like him? show’s the cult mentality his followers have. dennis says april 7, 2024 at 3:57 pm well i can think of a thousand more “politicians that ask for donations to get us to pay for something they want get a bill passed or whatever. seems these people get all kinds of “free bees from everything in our gov’t, so why are they asking us ( low citizens} for more money? it won’t help because the cast is already set. these people already know what will fly and what not. this america is so corrupt in political structure it will do what ever it wants whenever it wants… and fuck the common folk. just wait and see..it is coming lisa connon says may 6, 2024 at 6:43 pm president trump donated his presidential paychecks to charities. he’s the only president to come out worth less money than before. these are all facts. but you think he should sell his hotel to fix the mess that the dc politicians have put america in, especially the last 50 years. a businessman proved he can run america better than any politician. but they want to blame trump for the mess were in. anyone who says they didn’t have more mone in their pocket and the country safer {not being flooded with millions of fighting aged males} under trump is just lying to themselves. bob says july 1, 2024 at 5:19 am golly did kind old mr trump forgo his salary ? there is the ten million dollar expense of paying for his security detail who are generally placed in trump owned hotels rooms that seem to increase their nightly room cost to about $ 1100 to $ 1600 a night for those special guests. plus any overseas dignitaries in the us on government business were shoehorned intto the best rooms in trump owned hotels at the highest rates. he would have made ten times the president’s salary from that. liberal says november 1, 2024 at 2:20 pm hahahaha..wow…and the fact that his charities always turn out to be fraud? anonymous says november 26, 2024 at 4:24 pm right on kenneth arnold says june 22, 2024 at 3:54 am you are part of the problem in the to usa. you hate trump and his supporters. you are communist socialist marxist supporter of fing biden who is a puppet of obama regime. trump will win in november and he will be the revenge president against all communist socialist marxist supporters like you are anonymous says june 22, 2024 at 1:14 pm is that why financially the economy was a a historical high, and everyone was doing better?i think you may be brainwashed trump has been around forever hanging and friends with the left,so why the change…hmmmm,because the media ,ect…b4ainwashed you like pavlos dogs.people need economic stability and we have not seen this in 4 years, they need hope, people walk around as if they are looking for a bridge they can jump off.why do you want another 4 years,and you know it will get much worse… spn says june 22, 2024 at 4:05 pm absolutely stated. we have followed a falsely educated society to be blind of the fog.of lies which trump has put forth. this convicted crazy person should never again be in the oval office. anyone else would be in jail. who’s in charge? i’ll give a hint ,we are! please vote.this november. steve says june 26, 2024 at 8:19 pm trump is rich. that is a fact. he stands for the people of this country. i like trump. always have. liberals, globalists, progressives hate him. you hate him. that is a fact. i believe in free speech. i believe in the constitution. i am allowed to have my own opinion, and my opinion is 180 degrees from yours. that is a fact. god bless my country and everyone who gave their life to give me the right to pursue the american dream. navy veteran bob says july 8, 2024 at 3:30 am um, steve trump told the crowd at one of his rallies a about three weeks ago that he doesn’t care abouthem, he just wants their votes. that’s how dumb he really is. the modern kgb visits all russian top level athletes and instructs them on how they can be useful. the reason behind trump floating the comp between the top ufc fighters against the creme of the illegal migrants is because ufc is very much at the forefront of his mind at the moment. putin is using two top level mixed martial arts fighters as aa back channel to give his past his instructions. mitch terrusa says july 1, 2024 at 12:47 pm are these two men the best we have to offer? the felon and the grandpa? trump understands that you can fool some of the people all of the time. it would take 3.5% of the population to overthrow our country. he thought he had it on january 6. he watched his people lose the battle and afer over 3 hours, he decided to send them home (basically famously saying, “you’re fired!”). he is a moral pauper. convicted of rape, bankrupt 13 times, convicted of fraud, convicted of illegal election interference, and a fully documented liar. did he build the wall and did mexico pay for it? did he release his taxes as he promise? no, no, no. did he publicly commit treason by asking russia to investigate his opponent? did he say he would march with the mob to stop the legal transfer of power? did he change from a democrat to a republican because republicans can overlook hypocracy better? yes, yes yes. biden is hanging on to the ideal that our country can be unified and relevant with our best years ahead. neither are perfect. he is 3 years older than trump and it shows. does he have a lifetime of service to the country without being convicted of any wrongdoing? yes. does he have family members who struggle with drugs? yes. has his family suffered from loss in service to their country? yes. is he too old to lead another 4 years? maybe. biden believes in the rule of law and that noone should be above the law. we are a nation bound by law. trump would seek to unravel that binding so that he can wield un american power. it was the same mindset as castro, hitler, musolini, and stalin. they came to power by scaring people with supposed enemies and divided people to fight each other rather than see them consolidate power, put loyalists in key power positions and alter the government to give them dictator power. trump has publicly promised to do that. i don’t know how anyone can’t see that. dictator power has no place in america. i’d rather have no president than have a dictator who will fundamentally destroy our constitution. if it’s a choice between trump and a dead monkey, i’ll vote for the monkey. we are a great nation and when we’re unified, we can still do great things. we can support democracies, help population through initiatives like the peace corps. we can continue to try to live up to the ideals that created our country. the ideals of freedom for all, equal justice, equal opportunity, separation of church and state to allow all faiths the freedom to worship in their own ways, and the right to pursue happiness as long as it doesn’t infringe on others. no government can do that without an educated population who will demand it from our leadership. too many people in our country fail to self educate and so are controlled by emotion and group think. we can’t wait for our education system to do the task, we must seek knowledge ourselves. we need to relearn logic and embrace sense. we have allowed ourselves to be entertained rather than informed. the media runs on money so they have adapted to what we want. we need to want truth over sensationalism truth leaves clues and we need to learn to follow the clues before we make up our minds on a thing. we all need to do that to remain a free country and we need to unify in that effort. we can unify under leadership that promotes unity through respect of the right to be different than us. we had no choice in how we were raised, what color we are, where we were born. respect those facts and you begin to understand why we need to respect each other, not only for what we agree on, but what we disagree on. we can’t do that until we are able to hear   not just listen. walk a mile in your opponent’s shoes and you will understand that person better. getting everyone in our country to unify through respect is a tough sell   it doesn’t mean we should give up on that. there is strength in unity and leaders who choose to divide us can’t make us strong. i would urge you to vote for the candidates whose message is unity: they are the ones who understand the strength of america and her people and a future we can believe in. anonymous says july 5, 2024 at 11:59 am because radical left is the worst terrorist ever known!$$!9! so very true says july 23, 2024 at 9:04 pm the radical left are brain damaged pieces of shit that deserve to burn in hell with satan. maria says july 18, 2024 at 10:32 pm why is it the democratic voter seems cultlike . they can’t seem to move on their own , make decisions on their own .theyr told to change their daughters to boys and boys to girls . their told to take their little kiddies to a trans show and watch pedophiles get off . they are stump looking , zombies. unless their party says to , or how to , or where to take their next plunge. it’s horrifying , but hilarious at the same time . they’ve no brain , no solutions , you can’t speak with them , they grow weary looking , afraid , lost looking at times , to where when any of them mention ” o ‘ i’m a democrat voter ” you just smile , and nod my head and quietly move away ..they are that disturbing . it’s comical , it’s sad , and quite alarming that a adult can become so gummy . i enjoy being an independent voter . i see both sides ..sorry dems , but you guys are whack job . at least i can sit and have a great conversation with a republican . we let both sides speak freely ..we agree to disagree . that folks is called civility , responsible adults . shirley bridges says august 1, 2024 at 3:51 pm i wish kamala and all the dirty democrats would get a slow boat to china never to be seen again take biden the pedipile somebody please tell me how you could vote for kamala when she has thw same policys that biden has do you want to keep living in hell she wants electic cars she wants to not have gas cars she wants the same things that biden wants and did you people know that they have been colonies to put us in they dont want us to have anything you may not like trump but go for his policys vote trump or you will regret it you think the grass is greener on theother side but it is full of wees anonymous says august 15, 2024 at 5:46 am i want to know how you dumbac people are living ! shad says august 16, 2024 at 9:21 pm your right trump don’t need the money, he’s only in it for us, apparently your not smart enough too see that shad says august 16, 2024 at 9:24 pm your right trump don’t need the money, he’s only in it for us, apparently your not smart enough too see that you man are the idiot nancy gipson says august 27, 2024 at 7:09 pm totally agree! chantel says september 3, 2024 at 10:47 pm this article is so ass backwards! i totally agree with adam! wake up ! i really dont get it ! how can these people be so

to china where you belong in the first place. dillan says september 23, 2023 at 9:34 pm i can’t stand it when conservatives/republicans that whine and complain about how “judgmental” and “mean” people are to them. their political party has literally destroyed so many families, friendships, and made so many people feel and be unsafe. and they have the audacity to act like they’re oppressed. and yet they are willing to ruin their own lives and others to kiss their mango mussolini that will actually crap on your graves. just look at the “proud boys” shitstains imagine going to jail for trump? how embarrassing that your life is so meaningless you would go to jail for a politician. both trump and biden are close to end of their lives and desantis is another frigging moron. anonymous says september 29, 2023 at 3:34 am you just have been brainwashed you brainless freak sherry van valkenburgh says september 29, 2023 at 6:16 pm you guys are such cowards you hide behind masks and being “anonymous”. brave keyboard warrior, oh teach me why licking every mainstream viewpoint is helping america. get a clue from history and have an independent thought once in awhile ken fiallok231@gmail.com says october 9, 2023 at 2:40 pm the right will threaten and menace anyone including this 75 yo man that does not agree with the fascist baloney and their bullshit godman. gina says january 29, 2024 at 4:55 pm 100%  rw thugs love to threaten the lives of otherss peter gosinski says february 20, 2024 at 1:36 am the “right” is trying to save our country and we are trying in a fair and legal way, unlike you violent, cry baby “leftists”, who insist on violence…..even maxine, piglosi openly called for violence against us “maga tards”… hypocritical democrats constantly living in clown world. your rein is about up, and you will cry sweet sweet liberal tears, even sweeter than in 2016. cant wait. btw…… pro choice !!!!!! anonymous says october 18, 2023 at 9:50 am a lot of the anonymous posts here are railing against conservatives. they are on the same page as the one you commented on. how do you feel about those anonymous posts? and how did you miss them? ken says october 23, 2023 at 2:04 pm the young punks that are posting this crap will soon be fighting obama’s wars! and the rest of us will be fighting the the illegals in this country that they let come in. the politicians don’t care about us neither party. barbara says february 17, 2024 at 5:07 pm i see so many irrelevant comments here regarding trump… like we should hate his wealth. and these asshole politicians who have grown wealthy over decades of lying to the american public? yes, that could include both democrats and republicans. why is trump attacked for not being a perfect angel and for being wealthy? most career politicians in washington come from wealthy backgrounds but that is slowly changing. this should not prevent or preclude the ability to tackle real problems and develop effective policies in order to solve these problems. some of you behave as though politicians in the democrat party all come from humble beginnings. they do not. this is more trump hate that exceeds reason or rational thought. he worked to protect our borders and this country’s interests…. not china, not ukraine and the rest of europe, and not russia. that lie on the part of leftist promoters of false information has been put to rest. trump understands the diplomatic concept of keeping one’s enemies close and communicating with him. yes, it does require a certain amount of audacity and finesse. if that keeps america safe and first in matters of economic and foreign policy, then so be it. biden is pushing for more conflict with russia and more problems for america. watch putin’s interview with tucker and listen carefully. frank says march 1, 2024 at 9:59 am you who feel trump is sent from the heavens. can a simple minded liar be trusted with you future? a thief and a liar will never change. you will never hear the truth from a chronic liar. and as he stuffs his pockets and gullet with your savings. you cheer him on.hail to trump the all mighty. a simpleton and a cowerd!! roy says october 4, 2023 at 10:20 pm god bless you. you need all the love and compassion we can muster. we open our homes and country to welcome those who wish to coexist in the world we built. there are leechs that would come into the world that we have built for ourselves and bleed all our resources for their own comfort. i say we let these vermin stay in their country of origin and build their own utopia rather than come into our home and tell us we cannot protect our women and children how we see fit. we built this country from land that we stole fair and square from native americans and the mexicans. many people died needlessly when my ancestors charged across this land leaving nothing but dead women, children and ashes in their wake. in most recent times we have our spies go to foreign countries and install puppet governments that we control for our own gain. but don’t you dare even think about doing that to us. we have stolen or bought the most destructive forces available in the universe and are prepared to exterminate the world if you do not fall into line with what “they” want you to do.. we are a engineered species, worker ants. so just shut up and do what you are told. george says october 7, 2023 at 5:13 am i agree with what you say. the country is so divided it’s becoming an insane asylum. i am 82 years old, live in the country, own everything free and clear. i sit back watching the country implode on youtube while the super rich steal everything. at my age all i can do is watch and enjoy the entertainment. i thank god for franklin roosevelt, without whom i would be woking in some slave shop just to eat. it is good that people from my generation had some sense of unity for the good of the country. sad that neither party gives a rats ass about the good of the country, only their agenda. anonymous says october 11, 2023 at 11:30 pm what a load . trump is the evidence of americas idiocy . trump really didn’t do any thing . he got his bridget passed and gave tax breaks to the ultra wealthy . other than that a lot of photo ops with world leaders and bought us greenland for xmas . and made a controversy about losing his ass in re election . i think hix contribution to me was showing up close how stupid the left and right are. get the right scared thief guns could get taken or babies get aborted they will sign away a welfare check. they left can’t get a majority in congress to pass a. bill half the time and can’t fathom they aren’t the authority on all things moral . besides the greenland thing lick her up which got the blood flowing ? the great wall of mexico which got his fan base in a frenzy and liberals crying their eyes out what did trump do? went and told jokes at rally’s for 5 years before a controversial ass kicking in the next election by someone who will die of old age withiin 5 years of leaving office . annnonmous says october 14, 2023 at 2:29 pm every one on here has some good points … but i just have t interject a few missing points . thai country was founded on. god . wether u like it or believe in this or not that is a fact .. our money even says in god we trust !!!! you all seem to be really into research so open the bible and from the beginning of time no one ever learned their lesson every culture eventually had so much pride and turned to worldly idols instead of god .. in todays world it would be social media , porn , drugs , what ever the first thing you wake up and get to in the morning and spend hours on it all day will be what your idol is . my point is once you remove hod from your culture and the the government and is doing a good job of that you allow evil in . this is what you are seeing in this country now .. what’s u know is wrong you are being told it right . you are being told there is racism , so they gave you black lives matter to prove it although not one penny has gone ti help the black community ….. that is strange …. also i don’t see a lot of people hating people of any race and if you ask them they don’t see it either , then you are being told same sex relationships and transgender should be excepted while we should live these people .. excepting these things are only telling them lies … while people may want to do these things more for social acceptance than anything it is not a real it is a mental issue and social is said but it is not biblical . the bible says “ god created man then god created woman” also says a man should not be with a man and a women should not be with a women “”………. isn’t that funny that your own government is now telling everyone they have to except this as they cram it down everyone’s throats . …… now they are trying to tell you that your kids and not yours .. what are they taking about !!!!!!!! they are telling you this because all of these pigs are into pedophilia and they are going to come after your kids next.. this country is about to self impload and you are arguing about who is right … none of you are right … this country is owned by “we the people” but we are too busy arguing about our own agendas to see the evil that is taking over our country our family’s and our lives … everyone needs unite and stop the division and to turn back to god … start praying together , open your bibles and learn the truth ….there is only one truth !!! there is not your truth … or you believe this and not that … there is one truth open the book and learn it !!! in the history of the world not one nation has ever lasted when they surgecly remove god from a culture do your research !!!! sara says december 15, 2023 at 11:30 am and here i thought elderly people knew more about being less divisive. you don’t own anything “free & clear”. you could be sitting there watching that “entertainment” and have a knock on your door informing you that your home is now property of the us government and get out. you can and probably will lose your social security. reason? because of your smug, almost done with it attitude. you must not have any family or your family is as dumb as the democratic party and the republicans trying to destroy this country today. because otherwise your old ass would be looking down the line and be worried for your grandchildren. in case you think you’re going to get out of this and be just fine, where do you think you’re going? there’s nowhere to go. have fun with it though. as for me, i’ll actually make myself useful and fight these ***holes trying to take away my country. bob says july 1, 2024 at 5:39 am golly did kind old mr trump forgo his salary ? there is the ten million dollar expense of paying for his security detail who are generally placed in trump owned hotels rooms that seem to increase their nightly room cost to about $ 1100 to $ 1600 a night for those special guests. plus any overseas dignitaries in the us on government business were shoehorned intto the best rooms in trump owned hotels at the highest rates. he would have made ten times the president’s salary from that. bob says july 1, 2024 at 6:04 am the idea that the political party that wasn’t in government giganticallt rigged an election (somehow secretly with no evidence trail is ludicrous. the election before that was riddled with corruption and interference from the russians who illegally obtained a password for a democrat login then hacked into the system and discovered hillary clinton’s illegal email server.. clinton was always way ahead in the polls but this affected that at the last minute. the aim of fishing for ways to illegally interfere in the election was for one purpose. yo get trump unto the white house. the reasons are he is usually unsuitable for public office. his shortcomings in many areas   intelligence, character, social awareness etc, etc etc are so bad that he could cause america to implode if he gained any power. america is closer to collapsing through this two sided thing you mention. civil war anyone ??? well let’s just vote trump away from the white house in 2024 and see how he feels about that. and then what him and his dopey supporters come up with next yep. there’s a democratic government in office on one side. there’s a spoilt brat billionaire lunatic on the other. america is a disaster that the rest of the world watches in awe, not believing what they see. by the way blaming the southern border as the root of all evil is from hitler’s mein kampf playbook. which sits next to trump’s bedside. 1. identify the so called biggest problem. 2. yell in triumph that only you, who have identified it can fix it. for hitler it was the damage to the german economy as a result of the first world war. hitler falsely stated it was all simply because of the jews. the ‘tell the big lie, because if they like you they won’t disbelieve you’ is from mein kampf too. ronald r kallunki says january 27, 2024 at 12:12 pm your ideas of what life was like for native indians and mexicans is a pure fantasy. apaches and comaneches for hundreds of years were attempting to wipe each other out, mexican ancestors were comming human sacrafices. etc, etc anonymous says february 4, 2024 at 9:52 am you’re an idiot. anonymous says october 31, 2023 at 8:57 am it feels good to hear somebody actually tell the truth. prove monika says march 7, 2024 at 10:00 pm liar kjs says february 24, 2024 at 11:49 am sorry but your own cpac guys just said they are looking to end democracy. when you think that you can assault others and take retribution on fellow citizens without repercussions that is called fascism. your glorious leader is a wannabe dictator. did you know that there was literally a “play book” in case of a pandemic that could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives?! an eight year old could have handled it better than the grifter and co. one of the first things trump did in office was dismantle the teams of pandemic watchers who if left in place and followed protocols could have stopped co vid dead in its tracks. trump and his lack of knowledge, refusal to follow protocols, and insane ignorance is responsible for killing hundreds of thousands worldwide. we could have been the superhero of the world….but became the villain. and y’all want more well, mark my words….trump and co will come for your children to screw/enslave and then they will take your guns as well. fascists leave nothing but pain and destruction. take the “where do you fall in the political grid” quiz. i bet y’all are top right which is authoritarian. i wish you all well and stop watching fox/newsmax. fear begets hate, acceptance begets love. compassion is how we should rule to become the hero again. carolyn says march 23, 2024 at 6:42 pm amen pissed off says september 18, 2024 at 4:49 pm trump is only in this game for himself and his rich buddies so they can bankrupt america and poor peoples pockets, if gets elected more people will be sleeping on the streets or maybe we all go across the border and have to live there anonymous says february 24, 2024 at 7:26 pm nope. it’s fact. so many relationships destroyed over this pathological lying narcissist and his very screwed up base that supports a rapist. that will be the legacy of maga. you’re a pox on our nation and no one is more brainwashed than your qult. james roscoe says february 25, 2024 at 10:11 am nothing particularly insane about it. you have yet to give a real reason why. maga supporters are idiots except for unfounded claims against him . nery says march 24, 2024 at 6:21 am 94 indictments in us courts say otherwise… memo says march 26, 2024 at 12:47 am what exactly have you contributed as fact. your seriously attempting to educate on the greatness of joe biden? oookkk. at least trump cares about america. joe biden sold out to ukraine china and russia. im not a fan of trump and its not like hes perfect but joe biden is sending america into ruines. your hatred is so extreem you wouldnt couldnt and refuse to take a step back and look at the big pucture. or maybe your benefitting greatly by his open boarders, insane policies and lies… in that case go play in a sandbox next to one of the biolabs and build yourself a big castle and be proud that your a traitor. mary says september 30, 2023 at 10:11 pm you must be one of those emotional liberal lefties that worries more about his feelings than anything else in the world, i suggest you go get some serious mental health therapy, no one cries and whines anymore than the radical lefties, if you don’t call a transgender by what they think they are then your transphobic, racist and whatever adjective you want to throw at someone, which by the way i will never use any of the crazy pronouns they want people to use. if you don’t like this country then leave, i would gladly pay for your ticket, and trust me you won’t be missed. ken says october 6, 2023 at 3:28 pm these people are possessed by an evil spirit, they need deliverance. the bible says to speak to your mountain if sickness and disease has overtaken you tell it to leave in jesus name. we suffer due to lack of knowledge ! bob says july 7, 2024 at 5:15 am uh ken people of normal intelligence will of course, naturally see people who really believe that the jewish texts randomly assembled from a larger list of jewish texts for an anthology editoon of old jewish texts are ‘the word of god’ they’re just a story collection assembled for readers who like that sort if thing. take my word. dr seuss is far more quotable than the writings of a load of ancient jews who thought personal hygiene was um…they just don’t know and they would die of a heart attack if they saw something like a tractor. and no. i didn’t bury those dinosaur bones that are everywhere. the creator god literary template was no longer believable when the galoleo’s of this world told you that the planet earth wasn’t the centre if the universe that everything spun round. that was the end of that. you’ll find that the interdental qualities of the bibble anthology have their roots in the greek texts that were spread in the times of the hellenic world.. you are free to examine that, unlike the knights of the crusades who discovered a world a thousand years ahead of their own that lived a thousand years on the past. and had been hidden. all texts had been claimed, reclaimed and destroyed   in europe. but the plato’s and aristotle’s etc etc writings still existed   once you left europe for the holy land and another continent. if you want to understand the literary character called jesus you start with plato’s ‘the cave’off the cosmos where a man awakes in a cave, touching and feeling the walls because he has no idea where he is. in this fuctional world the material world (the cismis) is separated from the spiritual world (the pleuroma). the son of god is suspended on the cross of light separating the two worlds from each other. literary creations with hints of prostitution like eve and mary magdalene represent the trickster spirit tricking the man who has the essence of gid in his heart into believing the material world is real. while the bibble is just a junky collection of old jewish texts i’m sure that you would agree that if i was to point to saul as a ‘real reporter of the fictional creator god’ you would sat to yourself he probably was. if you look up saul saying there is only one gospel,’ you’ll find he said exactly that. his gospel was the root source of the other gispels. it did not mention jesus’ death and reincartion at all never thought it was important enough to mention perhaps ? it took over 100,000 years for mankind to move from hunters and harvesters to producers. sacrifice, which had been around forever,was gigantically significant to the ancients and robbed communities of edible food in famines had roman senators and many, many others sacrificing their newborn sons, wives family pets etc disappeared without a trace. how did that happen ? well, let’s just imagine what would happen if the ronan state, got the church fathers to use the godpel of mark as a source text, added on the ‘death and resurrection’ rubbish outlawed sacrifice throughout the roman world and said you’re going to practice the new official state religion. one sacrifice fits all and it’s already done for you. hang on a tick we’ll just leave this official state church mob with the roman army before they cause the dark ages . there’s an argument upstream in this thread about how dumb maga people are. like people who believe the centuries out of date creator god stories they just believe anything that trump says um there is no debate at all about trump being the biggest liar (and really dumb teller of ridiculous lkies ) you have ever seen. to outsiders they do not have normal levels of human intelligence. full stop. bob says july 7, 2024 at 7:04 am uh ken people of normal intelligence will of course, naturally see people who really believe that the jewish texts randomly assembled from a larger list of jewish texts for an anthology editoon of old jewish texts are ‘the word of god as possessing only a very basic childlike type of intelligence. they’re just a

bigots like you ian karoz says january 23, 2024 at 9:29 am or we could just stick with the left’s traditional lie, deny, deflect and repeat. blame everything on someone else and never admit your screw ups. nancy should be in jail…. with karen and that other traitor.,.. hillary! memo says march 26, 2024 at 12:49 am well said. c.tolentino says march 30, 2024 at 8:00 am no that’s trump’s grift, lie,deflect ,fake news,witch hunt,lie,lie,deflect, he’s so jealous of obama,obama is everything trump wishes he was  obama is thin, good looking,has hair,has a beautiful natural tan,is very intelligent,a harvard grad,is happily married to a beautiful woman who loves him, people love and respect obama!! obama has class,and that’s one thing. trump will never have! money can’t buy class!! bye!! anonymous says january 29, 2025 at 9:38 am what a typical right wing maga response…dreamer…. bill anderson says october 21, 2023 at 11:11 am i agree totally proud midwesterner says march 7, 2024 at 6:32 am mary, if you were capable of competently speaking english, you would know that a pronoun is a part of speech and serves specific and necessary functions. contrary to gopmaga belief, transgender people did not invent pronouns, english has had them since it was a form of frisian modified angle saxon. the english language is the largest human language with over 1.2 million words including unique technical terms. but the average american only has a working vocabulary of 12,000 words, and the average gopmaga only has a vocabulary of 800 words. aren’t philology and applied linguistics fun?!? louella parsons says october 8, 2023 at 2:07 pm you are right about 80% of your rant; would you rather have a fascist, ex president, rule and destroy democracy? you play right into their moronic rants by showing yourself to be as big a moron as they are. kim says february 28, 2024 at 11:41 pm this is exactly what they want us to do……disagree, get angry, argue, division and hate…..none of them really care about any of us. wake up….both sides…..democrats and republicans…..there are good people in politics but the percentage is extremely small….they are mostly narcissistic, consumed with power and control, love money more than people and have huge egos. we are just a game to them. a means to an end. they use people….of all colors, religious, sexual orientation/gender….,and sorry guys, but biden and his political gang….are all.pathological liars….ans the media….howndonthese people lay their heads down at night? oh, because they have no empathy and think they are smarter than all of us. they think we are stupid. i’m not being petty. our country is in a very bad state. we are very vulnerable….we are not untouchable…..and those in power at the present time…..are weak and americans are not on the top of their list to keep us safe….do you all want to live in a country where your rights are completely taken away….research history people….educate yourselves and stop letting them use us as pawns in their games. we need to cone together…..hey, i get angry….alot…since march 2020 and 2 weeks to stop the spread….i better stop now because i really do not want to offend anyone. look how divided we have become…..its sad….we need to come to some kind of common ground before the damagw being done to the united states and our people is irreversible.. tony says october 18, 2023 at 6:27 pm you wish you had the iq of mr. desantis jeri says october 20, 2023 at 4:37 pm trump gave us peace for 4 years, no new wars and a humane controlled border.. fights for the working class. i know, i was a loyal liberal for 20 years. jason thomas says february 29, 2024 at 8:10 pm thank you for speaking truth. leftists think we’ll actually allow communism to infiltrate this country. over my dead body. i live with n jersey and work in philly. we all hate what biden and obama have done to this country. please keep trump safe!🇺🇲 bob says july 7, 2024 at 9:38 pm gee jason thomss. you missed the bit where thee fiddled election was the 2016 one which the russians fooled around with because they know trump is not fit for a high role in government and a danger to america trump who is dumb enough to think putin likes him, instead of plays and uses him is quite obviously russia’s man in the u.s.. silly cover ip crape like saying ‘nato don’t pay enough,’ or ‘russia’s idea of a deal with ukraine isn’t good enough’ are band aids forced on him by the party’s scriptwriters. he’s putin’s flunky. full stop. bob says july 7, 2024 at 6:11 am trump did not give us peace for four years other countries didn’t commit to major, extremely controversial wars in that time for their own reasons. i am personally just as responsible for that as him, as is whoever has the next reply under mine. other countries might have encountered encountered major problems starting wars during trump’s four years due to things like closed borders. i must say it would be extremely difficult to engage in a war whilst informing all your soldiers about the need for masks and social distancing. civil had far, far more say in the lack of wars in that time than trump whi doesn’t understand that international stuff at all. at one point he tried to give the west bank to that saudi arabian, billionaire, evil pricek of a ruler king. trump’s aides were furiously telling trump he couldn’t do that.the saudi ruler replied ‘what would i do with some remote unconnected political territory ???’ must say that 2 billion dollar deal trump’s son in law got with the saudis is a shock, but us being investigated due to his obvious lack of business training to run those deals he does for them. at the time anerica was expecting trumo to chastise the billionaire as***** king.over the american journalist’s murder by the king’s death squad inside the saudi ebassy. morgan says october 21, 2023 at 4:27 pm you listen to yourself? the words coming out of your mouth are sickening to read. the media thrives on that. you should watch the project veritas videos of them catching dems on tape admitting they cause chaos on purpose. i never see any of you ever criticizing your own party.. you should listen to mark belling on iheart radio.. we do plenty ripping on trump. we aren’t afraid to show humility. we can laugh at ourselves. i don’t ever see that on the left. they literally teach you to be victims. to blame all your problems on someone else. why do you think they got rid of comedy? look at the names you call black conservatives & then you call us racist? trump didn’t start any wars. america was independent. everyone was getting richer, yet you say he doesn’t care? biden has started 2 wars already. it’s well known that those who throw out personal attacks have already lost the debate. please, educate yourself more & don’t let your emotions get the best of you. god bless fuck the right wing teerorist traitor trumpers says october 23,

that “the two most common elements in the universe remain hydrogen and stupidity.” http://www.rense.com/general44/50.htm http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/the_big_idea/2005/12/beyond_spin.html it started out innocently enough. i began to think at parties now and then to loosen up. inevitably though, one thought led to another, and soon i was more than just a social thinker. i began to think alone   “to relax,” i told myself   but i knew it wasn’t true. thinking became more and more important to me, and finally i was thinking all the time. i began to think on the job. i knew that thinking and employment don’t mix, but i couldn’t stop myself. i began to avoid friends at lunchtime so i could read thoreau and kafka. i would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, “what is it exactly we are doing here?” things weren’t going so great at home either. one evening i had turned off the tv and asked my wife about the meaning of life. she spent that night at her mother’s. i soon had a reputation as a heavy thinker. one day the boss called me in. he said, “listen   i like you, and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. if you don’t stop thinking on the job, you’ll have to find another job.” this gave me a lot to think about. i came home early after my conversation with the boss. “honey,” i confessed, “i’ve been thinking…” “i know you’ve been thinking,” she said, “and i want a divorce!” “it is serious,” she said, lower lip aquiver. “you think as much as college professors, and college professors don’t make any money, so if you keep on thinking we won’t have any money!” “that’s a faulty syllogism,” i said impatiently, and she began to cry. i’d had enough. “i’m going to the library,” i snarled as i stomped out the door. i headed for the library, in the mood for some nietzsche, with a pbs station on the radio. i roared into the parking lot and ran up to the big glass doors… they didn’t open. the library was closed. to this day, i believe that a higher power was looking out for me that night. as i sank to the ground clawing at the unfeeling glass, whimpering for zarathustra, a poster caught my eye. “friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?” it asked. you probably recognize that line. it comes from the standard thinker’s anonymous poster. which is why i am what i am today: a recovering thinker. i never miss a ta meeting. at each meeting we watch a non educational video; last week it was “porky’s.” then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting. i still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. life just seemed… easier, somehow, as soon as i stopped thinking. i think the road to recovery is almost complete for me; today, i registered to vote republican. anonymous says august 21, 2023 at 3:15 pm go to california, you’ll be happier there. anonymous says october 9, 2023 at 3:59 pm california is the fifth economic power in the world. not the nation  the entire world. your home state doesn’t even rank to lick the excrement off our boots, dumb mf er. oh and as to

in. canadas intellectual olympics. keep your attitude and pacifism to yourself and keep licking your socialist governments ass,, you disarmed mental midget, and ine reason califirnias economy does so well is the amount of illegal labor utilized in producing its exports. damn right gavin newsom supports immigration, endless cheap labor to crank out produce etc. another is shear population numbers and an overconcentration of entertainment dollars. individually a californian is most likely a member of the 67 70 percent of people carl yung described when referring to those members of society who will get in line wgen told to regardless. thank god for the 30 33 percent who dont. when the comfortability of a small percentage of a given population is more important than unity all is close to gone. nationalism created the country people risk their lives to get into. the whole woke, crt, blm, white supremacist insurrection is horseshit and unfortunately most are doing what all that barrative us intended to fo, keep americans fighting one another snd no one is looking at what is actually happening which is a minority movement to change our system of government in the course of 4 years. there is only ine iutcome if this continues and everyone would lose. anonymous says september 29, 2023 at 3:33 am you just have been brainwashed you brainless freak memo says march 26, 2024 at

people will be banned from voting. a big super win for us. bob says july 7, 2024 at 5:27 am but trump wouldn’t be able to vote for himself if mentally retarded people are prohibited from voting and he’d just love to cast that vote. oh, right… he can’t vote anyway because he’s a convicted felon. maybe he could utilise the time would normally vote to study to learn how to spell tricky words like hamburger arnold simpson says july 24, 2023 at 5:38 pm what what gives him the right to say that i cannot watch what i want to watch a sherwood says july 12, 2023 at 2:29 pm oh my. this did not age well considering bob woodward’s trump tapes wherein trump is clearly revealed as a sociopath. though the idea that the democratic party are “democratic socialists” when they aren’t even social democrats is ridiculous, i hope the op has come to see that we were absolutely 100% right about trump and covid 19. ddub says july 13, 2023 at 1:40 pm this is what i don’t understand. why would you ditch the greatest country in the world and trash our political and economic system because you hate trump. trump is irrelevant. which candidates support freedom and prosperity and which support socialism and anti american policies? that’s the only question that matters. anonymous says july 17, 2023 at 3:52 pm thank you “ddub” for publicly stating your propagandized ignorance…hope it serves

cammander and chief anonymous says march 3, 2024 at 7:57 pm spend a little time in new jersey and you will understand the culture and how people talk. can’t judge a person on their character. memo says march 26, 2024 at 12:59 am here here, will you be willing to run for president because you see the simpleness of what we all need so badly. preston froelckick ii says july 25, 2023 at 8:52 pm donald trump is a wealthy man that is tired of watching other wealthy people cheat the system. the america that lives and dies fighting for freedom. currently the people in charge are taking advantage of every way to rob america of it’s wealth. they are stealing our tax dollars. it’s reached a 0oint that it’s too obvious. no trump 8s not the problem. he’s trying to get the criminals out of our government. kerry a. brown says july 28, 2023 at 2:18 pm trump is a crook, and there’s a lot of evidence for that. jason says august 18, 2023 at 7:46 pm good luck with those ninety one felonies. anonymous says september 26, 2023 at 10:59 pm thank you . 🤣 jake says july 29, 2023 at 9:16 am do you know, or choose to ignore that the trump organization has been successfully prosecuted for tax evasion over decades? do u know his ceo is currently serving time at reichers is prison for said crimes? did u know trump routinely “cheated” contractors in his r.e business? when you regurgitate maga mafia talking points found all over right wing media, you are stating the opposite of fact. that’s called gaslighting & gop prescribes to it religiously. they make u look like fools & confused members of a vast cult. don’t let them make you into a maga loon i.dimaggio says august 13, 2023 at 8:18 pm oh boy this is like a missal taking off! who cares what trump did before i am proud of what he did when he was president. the country was much better with him….there is no comparison to him and wicked biden. (obama). notrump says september 9, 2023 at 9:01 am your maga maggot trump was the worst president and the biggest bigot and criminal. the traitor should be in prison and any blind person can see his crimes. if you still support this traitor your dumber than a box of rocks! rose says august 4, 2023 at 11:34 pm oh my goodness donald trump, his father fred, and his grandfather fredrick were and are the biggest crooks in america. there’s so much info out there, not just from now but back to the early 1900s that you can read about the trumps. you’ve been duped by a con artist, it’s in his blood and all he knows. i hope he rots in jail for all he’s cost this country. you put him on a pedestal, it’s time to knock him off. j says august 13, 2023 at 7:59 am if so biden said hold my beer and watch this. morgan says september 22, 2023 at 8:28 pm all these people say what the media says. if they ever listened to conservative media i listen to like mark belling on 1130 am iheart radio 3 6pm monday thursday they would know we rip on trump a lot. i never see anyone on the left say anything bad about anyone. look at how they all fell in line with this dress code for fetterman. i know from experience they suffer from such hubris. their mantra is do as i say, not as i do. they put themselves on a pedestal just because. not for any accomplishments or anything. just so that they can feel good. feel important. impose power. they talk about women’s rights, but have no problem with men competing in women’s sports. they all fall in line. don’t say a word cuz they know what happens to those that speak. reminds me of that movie the witches. proud midwesterner says march 7, 2024 at 6:36 am j, do you realize your accusation is baseless and your statement is semantically null? without white supremacism, xenophobia, anti lgbtq bigotry, rank ammosexuality, anti semitism, and a worship of trump  hitler, you gopmagas have… nothing. nothing at all beyond childish repartee, playground bully aphorisms, and ad hominem. nothing! anonymous says august 7, 2023 at 6:28 pm i agree absolutely 💯 anonymous says october 2, 2023 at 12:58 pm agree!!!! 100% lane says august 11, 2023 at 4:16 pm preston   you claim trump is tired of watching other wealthy people cheat the system. name a single bill or executive order that trump supported that made it harder for wealthy people to cheat the system. name one. instead, republicans passed a huge tax cut to the ultra rich and corporations in 2017 that contributed to america adding 7 trillion in debut during a time of rapid economic expansion (traditionally, america reduces their debt when our economy expands). your claims have no basis in fact. don lemon says august 20, 2023 at 4:30 pm trumps policy’s are what caused the economic expansion . nobody likes to admit that but the stock market and my paycheck say differently. his foreign policy was the best i’d seen in my lifetime. trump talks like a new yorker from the street so i understand why he rubs people wrong. actions over words. the left attributes saying “…grab her by the p*ssee” as being the same as someone who grabbed a lady’s cunny. notrump says september 9, 2023 at 8:59 am your maga maggot trump was the worst president and the biggest bigot and criminal. the traitor should be in prison and any blind person can see his crimes. if you still support this traitor your dumber than a box of rocks! morgan says september 22, 2023 at 8:18 pm yup. people need to go back to that first debate of trump hillary & obama. he says he knows the system is corrupt cuz he participates in the same thing that hillary’s donors do. then he says along the lines of, “if it’s so bad why won’t you stop it?” you are right about crooks stealing money from the taxpayer right now. we are over $200,000 in debt per person in the usa. they force the dollar onto other countries on purpose to keep its value up. here is where it’s so obvious. people that do t invest in stocks don’t know. during trump’s 4 years the dow stock market went from 18k 30k. during biden it keeps going from 30 35 back and forth. they intentionally slowed down the market. killed a lot of progress trump did. i really wish more lefties would see this. it’s unfortunate you got the ones that know what’s going on & play dumb. you got the lazy ones who take what others say at their word instead of doing research themselves. people who go along with what others say because it’s cool & edgy. they feel apart of something. herd mentality can be very dangerous. thinking for themselves is not their strong suit. affirmation is a label. they are the biggest gossipers too that live their lives through one another. and you know how it is when people gossip. each person adds on their own version (usually a lie) to make themselves look important. they don’t like god or even think he’s real cuz that means they’d have to follow his rules. hate to break it to you, people. he is real. i have been in his presence once before. you don’t forget that experience. why do you think hollywood says “oh my god” so much in movies? taking his name in vain. you can see it around kobe when he died. it’s scary. 4.1 seconds 41. his best game ever was his 666th game. then you got people who are too emotional. the media plays into that on purpose. manipulators. using key words that get you going hard. i know cuz whenever i hear trump’s name, my subconscious is telling me he is bad. it’s in our dna. if one says “morgan is bad” for myriad years, it will be in your subconscious & if you want to dislike me it’s near impossible to see anything i would do as positive. preconceived notion. then you got the ones who lie constantly just to get that 15 second dopamine high. i’m better than you. . they have no humility. the world needs more humility. people who can admit being wrong. it builds character.. i got no problem being the butt of a joke or being embarrassed. i’ve done far worse to myself than most could make me feel. unfortunately, history will repeat itself again. many people will die. because too many people are not following god. they’re following money & power. they suffer from such hubris. wow that was long lol anonymous says september 28, 2023 at 6:47 am why do you care about other people! vikki says september 28, 2023 at 1:37 am um, what universe are you living in? trumpzi helped the wealthiest and screwed the working man, which is typical. he has absolutely spent his life cheating the system. you really need to start paying attention to why he has so many indictments. it’s not a big conspiracy, he deserves to rot in prison. you need a reality check. trumpzi is the biggest lying, cheating, selfish “politician” ever! how you can post exactly the opposite of the truth is absurd and dangerous. it’s okay to change your mind when reality and truth become a thing again to repugs. anonymous says september 30, 2023 at 12:11 pm trump has cheated the system his entire life and people elected him on that premise. he even bragged on the campaign trail in 2016 how much he cheats, and republicans cheered. likenit was a virtue. you rewarded him for it, so he cheated more. brenda e boyle says october 7, 2023 at 3:50 pm the fact that donald trump is a wealthy man is irrelevant. he was not a career politician, he was a businessman. the point you might have brought up is all the career politicians that have net worths that severely exceed their salaries. anonymous says october 9, 2023 at 4:02 pm a business man who has no competency for business. the orange moron bankrupted casinos. that takes an unheard of level of stupidity to bankrupt a business where people willing throw away thousands of dollars every minute. bob says july 7, 2024 at 5:49 am well i just watched a youtube quickly called ‘is this the birth of maga ?’ it features a young trump talking presidential talk to oprah who is asking him if he’s interested in becoming president, which he says no time even though it’s exactly what he’s pointing to. his mother always said ‘god help us, i hope donald never goes into politics, it would be a disaster (and if course, he had the cinnections since childbirth. when fred trump was talking to a senior politician about young ddnald entering politicand donald tried to enter the conversation about his future himself, he did the usual fred thing and yelled ‘noone gives a f*** what you want or think ! shut the f*** up and f*** off !!!’ the idea if politics was always there, all his life. anonymous says july 25, 2023 at 10:43 pm you’re not right. just misled. anonymous says august 3, 2023 at 1:40 am nope. left lied. charles herrmann says august 15, 2023 at 9:28 pm yes trump is the first and worst us president to be a psychopath, sociopath, pathological liar, white supremacist, anti american wanna be dictator, putin, kim jon un, bolsanaro, and other world dictator supporter that has wormed his way in to our democratic political system! he is supposed by right wing religious extremist bullies that think power, abuse and guns are the bleak future of our wonderful country! he and they have to be stopped and will ! kr says february 26, 2024 at 8:18 am dude, you really have the wrong information. if you want the truth you need to watch fox, they are not completely bought off. thanks to biden we are 3 heartbeats away from losing our freedom, our country, everything we ever cared about. how about all the military that have died for our freedom. wake up! nay says september 16, 2023 at 11:25 am this didn’t age well. this is 2023 look at our country. crime rates up no cash bail open borders that’s socialism & blm was a self proclaimed marxist organization ! do i smell, a snowflake says july 5, 2023 at 4:33 pm wow what a christian fascist neoliberalism view point, lacking any values of a republic. some history. yes we should have ignored the 1865 era you now seem to want back, where equality feels like oppression. a war with your god was on your side, where taking his name in vain is a worst sin than owning another human being so you don’t have to work? voting suppression of women’s rights to vote, recall that, native american, guess what about 1974 before the federal government forced their civil rights on your ilk. explain jim crow laws to us. tell me why did it take almost 100 years for civil rights. no real world is perfect is your defense? from death marching native american, putting them up at the time on what was thought useless land, to slavery that built the southern economy, to heroes iike custer who attacked what he thought was just women, children, because the men were gone, the list goes on and on, well america is like trump, up the river of denial with it’s head up a christian god’s arse. you know you are correct looking back at us history, those border kids, trump caged were lucky. could have sent custer. to the border, taking care of them with the final solution? i’m surprised jaba the hutt donnie didn’t think of it? he does get confused by history, those revolutionary air craft, when german bombed pearl harbor, windmills vs wind turbines, weather vs climate, staring at the sun. you are correct america has never been great, you seem to think that is the standard? to be proud of? why is that? dan emmanuel munsayac pelagio says july 7, 2023 at 7:07 am thank you. this dummy tho, does not care for the truth. and tho i appreciate your explanation, these morons don’t care about the truth. they’re cherrypickers of the constitution, the bible and their own whitewashed laws. anonymous says july 21, 2023 at 6:10 am perfectly stated. robert graham jr says july 16, 2023 at 8:32 am oh my, someone has been far too sheltered from the real world, or unwilling to experience any of it. i’d be more comfortable in china if not only for the fact that at least their governments not scared to say don’t publish that horrible stuff we did you well thow you in prison. you know what to expect what your getting. how can you call this paradise when we are nothing but guinea pigs for our government to expirament on and play with as they wish. to cover their scandals the give illusion of free speech and then before print everyone who had any info is mysteriously gone or dead. how about when they wanted to just see how syphilis plays out from beginning to end so secretly injected over 400 black men with it spreading to wives mistresses and babies being born with it. found vaccine quite soon after and refused to vaccinate anyone from original expirament or their families. this went on for 40 years. how about when they wanted to know more about asbestos and used black prisoners to inject them with it subcutaneously to study the side effects. and the gullibility testing we fail consistently why would they want to know how far out their they can make up and we still believe it? example: government wanted to know if we were gullible enough to believe something irrefutable and obviously untrue an secretly leaks an article about how flying birds aren’t actually birds they are drones that spy for government. their are still people who go out with their signs protesting that they are all government spies! hasn’t anyone happened upon a dead bird before? or eaten a bird? i can’t. this is just too ignorant. please educate yourself before taking such a argumentative ideal. sean says july 17, 2023 at 4:44 am name a country that has not committed violence and take over another? humans are not perfect but we try hellen says june 28, 2023

narcissistic self agrandising ruler with all the piles of evidence   well, i’m not using names like he relishes using, but i will agree that it’s the biggest mystery i will ever know. anonymous says june 20, 2023 at 3:38 pm if you are speaking of that jack o’ lantern, i agree. but. the current stooge has to go as well. anonymous says july 7, 2023 at 12:39 pm your right biden supporters really need a check up from the neck up. believer says july 31, 2023 at 7:04 am i agree but then let’s all get out and fight with our vote and stop these demonic powers on our knees. jesus christ is still on the throne and always will be. god has all power to stop people. the left hates anything right or good cuz they are spiritually blinded and can’t see truth it’s like talking to a dead person, they are spiritually dead and can’t see truth or good and people say what’s wrong with them, they are blinded by evil and can’t see truth. they trump cuz he ointment perfect no one is but he stands for some right things and truly cares what happens in this country. the left covers their evil and all their corruption by taking attn off themselves. and the only one who can truly change someone heart is the holy spirit. believer says july 31, 2023 at 7:07 am meant they hate trump cuz he isn’t perfect no one is anonymous says august 4, 2023 at 6:12 am are there really biden supporters though? i’ve never ran into one lol. this is more of a cult members versus non cult members thing. when trump said he had his followers so brainwashed that he could murder on 5th avenue and they would still vote for him, that was the one time he wasn’t lying. just the facts says august 9, 2023 at 10:17 am anonymous, those biden supporters have very severe brain damage as it is. anonymous says july 11, 2023 at 2:35 pm joe biden? j says august 13, 2023 at 8:03 am if so biden said hold my beer and watch this. swany says june 22, 2023 at 11:58 am leftist idiots, biden crime family is all what needs saying. you love today because 80 million votes destroyed your freedom and liberty. mobility is under attack, are borders are open with twice the population. your after trump with lies! idiots like you need help with your thinking. jealous idiot! none says july 3, 2023 at 1:53 pm prove it if it’s true prosicute trumpf on the other incriminated himself his own people are testifying against him not democrats yes there are 2 tiers of justice anyone else would be in jail already rob2tall says july 12, 2023 at 10:21 am silly fool. there is only 1 political party and its called greed. our totally bribed congress works for 1 puppet master. congress pits the democrats against the republicans as a diversion tactic. the 1%ers control america’s political scene which is why nothing of any value is fixed in our nation. as far as a loser trump goes he was and still is being used by the 1% to be the fall guy for why maga was never a reality he just stalled any progress for 4 years as he played golf all day. mandy says july 15, 2023 at 10:07 am the borders r not open lol. we have so many coming to the border cuz trump put a policy in place to stop anyone coming to seek asylum etc. legally during covid,it ended under biden which he tried since becoming president to work with the right to figure our what to do before the policy ended cuz they already knew it would be a mass influx since all of that time during the policy no one could enter, so they would be way back logged. the right didn’t want to work with him.biden also sent tons of money to help control the border, to hire more ppl and sent military persons to help aid. they don’t talk about all that in ur cult media do they? kansas kid says august 5, 2023 at 3:45 pm we have a disease in this country and it is called stupid. most left wing democrats have it. . the democrats or marxists, are flooding our border with wall to wall people of every culture. our country already has enough problems and is broke ! what do u think another million homeless people every year is gonna do to this country ? sue says july 15, 2023 at 4:36 pm cultists keep guzzling the kool aid kevin says february 22, 2024 at 10:27 pm kevin..hey anonymous!..too chicken to use your name? hmm.. thought you’d be happy to support your orange king 👑! every judge, courts, appeals, about the fair elections..threw out trump and his zany lawyers arguments! and the vast majority of them were trump’s appointed choice.only if someone disagrees..then they lie! he will toss anyone aside!! elijah says june 6, 2023 at 1:45 pm i love how you have no evidence to bck up this claim. i guess you people figure if you say it enough times it will become true in people’s minds. refutable evidence or your just another talking head. moron hans says june 7, 2023 at 1:07 pm they have their heads buried in permanent rectal deficit. george says june 11, 2023 at 12:31 am there is tons of video evidence almost of the whole world saw it live in tv. tump invited his troops to dc. trump incited his troops. trump sent them to the capital building to intimidate congress and vp pence to overturn a legal election, taking the votes of 80,000,000 americans away, and in doing so overturning our nation’s constitution. . trump watched the rioting on tv for 4 hours (just like most of the world did) and never sent help, trump never told his troops to step down while several people called him and asked his to stop the violence and send help. a couple of months ago trump made the statement that parts of our constitution needed to be terminated and he would declare himself president. that along with his january 6th, 2021 coup attemp show you how dangerous trump is. trump loves trump. mcgehee says june 16, 2023 at 7:35 pm don’t forget biden anonymous says july 11, 2023 at 2:38 pm nancy’s job kim says february 29, 2024 at 12:17 am yes, i was just thinking the same regarding january 6. rm says july 21, 2023 at 8:57 pm laughable media propaganda almost word for word. you seem most gullible. kansas kid says august 5, 2023 at 3:51 pm trump offered crazy senile nancy pelosi 10,000 troops 2 days before assembly, and she refused since they planned the whole setup by letting protesters into bldg. none if the black lives matter rioters and antifia rioters got put in jail. they burnt down business and destroyed cities of billions of dollars. the democrats bailed them out of jail ! vikki says september 28, 2023 at 1:55 am kansas kid, that’s the dumbest thing anyone has said, and there is a lot of dumb up in here. anyone, and i mean anyone who supports trump is delusional. even before he ran for office he was cheating, lying and criticizing everyone. and i mean everyone. have you ever once heard him say anything positive about anything? nope. unless it was himself. and lying about blm and antifa is just stupid we’ve all seen the real video and who it was being violent. there wasn’t anything but trumpzi psychos there. period. anonymous says june 15, 2023 at 12:18 pm oh you mean biden. now there is a narcissist!!! truth teller says june 27, 2023 at 6:47 pm deflection doesn’t work on the educated americans! go get an education… apparently you need it! linda says june 6, 2023 at 2:05 pm correct your spelling you idiot. it’s too, not to. too means excessive. you must have been educated by the woke who are failing our children in reading, writing and arithmetic. anonymous says june 11, 2023 at 8:31 pm thanks’s professpor. sure glad you cleared that up.🤪 leonardo says june 13, 2023 at 10:03 pm there are no evil leftists ect.. these cult heads just spew nonsense to support billionaires & wc criminals. democrats support us labor/ unions , sane govt regulatory oversight , the protection & expansion of both our saftey net & liberal democracy. democrats are responsible for our countries golden age. the gop is now so desperate for new voters that conspiracy lunatics , anti science morons & blantent idiots have become the base. god save our republic. done says june 18, 2023 at 9:01 am why is it that everyone lived trump and thought he was awesome, until he got into office and then he was a bigot,a racist marxist. even shequille o’neil had his back and laughed at the ignorance shown by democrats. you listened to the news and that’s where you got all of the ignorance you spew, there isn’t any evidence to support any of your claims. when you ask a woke democrat what evidence they have they freak out and start screaming how conservatives are all racists and we should die. so where is this so called evidence. anonymous says march 7, 2024 at 4:14 am because they’re more worried about brainwashing our sons to be girls and our daughters to be boys rather than reading, math and spelling evidently. and you think life is great right now under commander and their joe biden?? look at your life now versus 4 years ago and tell us with a straight face you’re living better and this country is doing better!! absolutely not and doesn’t matter what wage group you fall into. trump didn’t have us in any wars like biden has. elayna says june 12, 2023 at 4:55 pm what is wrong with trump lovers? don’t you know he is a male chauvinist pig, a narcissistic jerk, a criminal, and a traitor with not one ounce of caring about you and yours. he only cares about hmself and being a ruler. watch your back. he will put you in jail, too. guest says june 27, 2023 at 6:28 am elayna, very dumb fools like you need to go live in china or russia since you will be their slave for life. cali mark says july 13, 2023 at 12:38 am i saw and heard trump on tv live telling his supporters to storm the capitol and stop the lawful and peaceful transition of power. how is that not treason you bumpkins!? anonymous says june 28, 2023 at 2:23 pm exactly, that is what the main stream media wants you to believe. keep drinking the kool aide. kansas kid says august 5, 2023 at 4:01 pm let’s,see, gas 3.75 a gallon, groceries up all across the board, portfolios down 30 percent, no justice or law and order, inflation sky high and climbing, our senile president can’t even complete a sentence coherently, our vice president is just plain ignorant, illegal drugs and sex trade coming across border with criminals and who knows what else. this is what the democrats or marxists stand for and are encouraging ! oh i for terrorists coming across too . this is definitely the destruction of our country and way of life ! tony says june 16, 2023 at 3:58 pm why not just respond to the gist of the response? how is insulting someones grammar going to lead to any type of constructive communication or debate? oh yes, you’re a trump supporter trying to defend the indefensible. anonymous says july 21, 2023 at 9:04 pm why is it that all liberals think they are better than everyone else and their basic ultimatum is “ my way or no way”. but you know what? if it makes you feel better about yourself, go right ahead. have a great evening. i respect your opinion but don’t agree with you. agree to disagree. live and let live. just because others politics are not yours, it’s not necessary to belittle. again, have a great night. proud midwesterner says march 7, 2024 at 6:47 am because a majority of democrats are educated and actually do know better, as the vast majority of americans without high school educations (74%) are gopmagas. 76% of gopmagas are functionally illiterate and haven’t read a book since they dropped out of school. every post wwii presidential election in which tracking recorded educational attainment and party affiliation showed a majority of us college degree earners voting gop until 2008 when a majority of degree holders voted for obama. an ever increasing majority have since voted dem in every election, the gap rising to 59% dem, 2% third party, 39% gopmaga. so…democrats think they have better access to higher quality information and more robust and rigorous information sources, better reasoning and critical thinking skills, and more developed critical discourse analysis capacity because… they actually do!!! sorry, magats, all you’ve got is insult, conspiracy theory, bronze age fairytales, russian disinformatsiya and kompromat, urban mythology and rural folktales/make believe, and xenophobic paranoia! this is why your party cannot govern, cannot win fair elections, and is radically opposed to the democratic due process and electoral franchise! anonymous says june 21, 2023 at 11:56 pm yer to smart fer me. do you support teachers? do you support education for all? were you educated in a public school? let me guess… no, no, and yes. does your version of jesus only care about the educated? what’s your plan to address the education of these typo lefties? so, here’s the issue… when your convictions are supported by fear and hate, it’s time to get help because you’re in a cult. there are too many people in this world (like linda) that have not been taught how to think for themselves. cc says june 24, 2023 at 11:06 am too means also too. look it up einstein anonymous says june 6, 2023 at 4:35 pm paul is a northern brainwashed leftist ask his husband jakie says june 12, 2023 at 8:36 pm exactly hans hinterland says june 7, 2023 at 1:04 pm always accuse your enemy of the very thing you are doing. it’s right in communist manifesto moron. that is what the main stream news does to your gord each hour. they repeat word for word like parrots from host to host and panel to panel with great venom. they need millions of useful idiots to be mind washed with the hate line of the day. luckily half the country is waking up with the exception of the woke who have their heads un rectal deficit forever. mcgehee says june 16, 2023 at 7:39 pm amen! h munster says june 9, 2023 at 4:19 pm no. biden is the traitor, along with obama, bush, clinton, bush sr. get it zipperhead? anonymous says june 12, 2023 at 2:29 pm couldn’t have said that any better!!! anonymous says june 14, 2023 at 5:13 pm thank you, there are good people out there anonymous says june 16, 2023 at 7:40 pm so true! anonymous says june 11, 2023 at 9:23 am please quit taking money from these evil liars these are lawyers being paid by my slave wages and media use trump name for articles that do not have any substance that are related to trump rusty lee bonds says june 13, 2023 at 2:39 pm nice commentary. it seems that you do not have full a full grasp of simple english linguistic skills. you would be better served to provide a well presented thought or idea rather than degrading to name calling. the inability to communicate fully without resorting to name calling, threats of violence, or cursing is a full sign of low iq levels. ramon alfonso says june 13, 2023 at 5:28 pm you truly have mental illness. please seek medical attention asap. the only traitors we have and need to be tried for treason is the democratic party. pnus says july 20, 2023 at 3:51 pm this is your brain on a diet of lead paint chips and whatever chinless fox news lardass is vomiting on air andrea smith says june 14, 2023 at 12:01 pm ‘too’ not ‘to’. who’s the dummy now? anonymous says june 14, 2023 at 2:28 pm totally agree. the left hates the right because they are morally bankrupt, gun toting morons. anonymous says june 19, 2023 at 8:02 am its anti americans morons like this ”mozal’ that consistantly prevent america from being a perfect country .. and its only a person like president donald trump that keeps americans hopefull that we can persuade brainless communists like this mozal to move to some other country . ral says june 19, 2023 at 6:44 pm too bad you feel that way.. traitor ..how? what evidence…? anonymous says june 22, 2023 at 11:51 am idiot, american hater, shut up and leave freedom, liberty, trump and us alone, idiot! chumash says july 12, 2023 at 4:49 pm is this the best you can do? lol wayne says june 22, 2023 at 4:12 pm my iq is 148, what’s yours, 3? ray says june 22, 2023 at 10:19 pm which evidence? we’re on investigation what, #6? now persecutors, not a typo, are literally changing laws and ignoring statutes to keep him out of the race. i’d love to see the reaction if a web of over 25 shell companies were used to quietly funnel tens of millions into 10 trump family members accounts. name says july 1, 2023 at 5:29 pm your utterly lost, they got you because you’re weak minded. programmed to hate trump. enjoy being eaten alive by that implanted hatred that you’re embracing. your evidence is all delusions courtesy of mind control msnbc. i’m quite sure there is no hope for you, sad indeed. anonymous says july 8, 2023 at 2:14 am trump is a traitor????? biden is the biggest traitor in our history…. fact!!! anonymous' next door neighbor says october 5, 2023 at 7:39 am no, it’s not a fact. your hapless repub crew has been trying for years to pin something on him and they can’t find anything.. you need to wait for facts to make a judgement instead of parroting all the crap coming out of your representative. anonymous says july 13, 2023 at 9:55 pm amen brother anonymous says july 18, 2023 at 7:43 pm how about this countries biggest traitor selling out this country to communist china, and destroying everything good about this country and then blaming the one leader that defended and stood up for this country. anonymous says october 18, 2023 at 9:16 am which movie are you referring to? ian w. says may 5, 2023 at 1:26 pm reagan chopped up the fairness doctrine giving birth to faux news and this herd of brain dead people willing to vote against their own interest, to get the interests of the 1% pushed through by brainwashing them. when i first saw broadcasts of faux news i thought “who would be stupid enough to watch this and think it’s actual news” well 20 25 years later we have our answer. another of reagan’s brilliant ideas was nafta. his vp george hw bush wrote that wonderful legislation up but they couldn’t get it through a democratic congress. all it took was a republican congress making deals with “slick willy” (as they like to call him) clinton to get it passed. now they do their wonderful revisionist history and say on faux news over and over “clinton signed nafta, clinton signed nafta, clinton signed nafta” and eventually the zombies talk to each other and say “i hear clinton signed nafta! it’s all the democrats fault there’s no jobs” when really, their hero reagan wanted nafta to finally crush the unions in america. it was successful. when they asked reagan “what will people who have middle class jobs do once nafta is passed” he said “they can work service jobs”. well here we are living in the shadow of that dream. enjoy your mcdonalds, walmart, starbucks, or other service jobs everyone, the good ones all went over seas for cheap labor. and how was that possible? voting against your own interests due to a propaganda channel called faux news that let you happily blame it all on the left. they tell blatant lies, and lies by omission, often saying “many people think” or “a lot of people believe” and then follow it with any kind of nonsense they want you to believe no matter how false or far outside the boundaries of reality it may lie. if you want a third world nation of very rich and very poor and nothing in between, you just keep watching that propaganda on behalf of the rich and getting their interests voted in. or you can educate yourselves, realize you’re being used, and free yourselves of their never ending need for control and power. if you do not, then you will soon find yourself in a country that “used to be great” and has become a “flyover country” that the rich just ignore because they’ve taken all the money you’ve given them and moved elsewhere. jon boehner works for china now, and was actually working for them for years as the house speaker. good ol’ glenn beck lives in new zealand now in a house with tons of solar panels on the roof, he’s no idiot. realize you’re being used by people that think you are dumb, or just prove them right and keep posting articles like this one. anonymous says may 21, 2023 at 10:41 pm hugs ian w. says may 24, 2023 at 10:44 am dare to care. anonymous says may 25, 2023 at 5:30 am look there are many republicans that are changing their minds about being republicans because all you have is the greediness the selfishness the prejudiceness i mean it’s all locked there now for america’s to see it will can’t hide itself for long so now we see what do we do now oh my god i have to boat democrat charles says june 6, 2023 at 4:38 pm well this spy for the left wants to boat for his own party brainwashed…. anonymous says july 9, 2023 at 6:09 pm i wish all of you would please stop talking! jay says may 27, 2023 at 3:57 pm trump and his party or cult (literally now domestic terrorists posing as the republican party) are trying the damndest to ruin this country. all based on the big lie which has been debunked by everyone from the cyber ninjas ,,trump appointed judges ,kris krebs(trump appointed chief of dhs and cisca and of course his own personal butt boy atty general bill barr . then of course the infamous call to brad raffensberger on jan 3rd then jan6th insurrection then the jan 6th committee hearings which completely implicated trump . there is so much proof of this man’s guilt it makes the evidence against oj look underwhelming. if you can’t believe your eyes ears and gut then you live in an alternate universe. i live in reality. anybody who says that the only way he loses an election is if it is rigged is at the very least a psychopath. he’s been playing that garbage game since the primaries in 2016 when he lost to ted cruz in the iowa caucuses.i’ll unfortunately go to my grave wondering how and why a guy like trump of all people has such a stranglehold over so many of my fellow americans. truly the biggest mystery of my life. bob purcell says june 19, 2023 at 3:57 am seen one really perceptive or intelligent comment from even one of his 70 million fans? not to make a big thing of it, but, y’know…me either 🤔 elayna says june 13, 2023 at 6:53 am amen. you are the first to talk about reagan. and not only did he start nafta, he also did alot of deregulation, which again was for the rich. why do not so rich people on the right believe the hogwash on “faux news” when some journalists in high places have left them because of the constant lies and distortions. it’s just how autocrats work to keep people in line, spewing their own propaganda to keep commoners hypnotized to their authority, while taking their money out the back door. and here we have the worst of the worst disguised as doing good for america while lining his pockets and laughing all the way to the bank. fedup w rep says august 1, 2023 at 10:20 am reagan also had stagflation. double digit inflation and double digit unemployment. at the same time eroding wprkers rights by firing air traffic controllers. he also termed ‘welfare queen’ when sean hannity bought 320 million dollars worth of property on hud. who is the welfare queen now. hitler called mainstream media fake news. fox news calls their announcers ‘host’ not journalists so they don’t have to abide to telling the truth. jay says may 27, 2023 at 3:24 pm let’s face it folks at the bare minimum 90% of today’s problems are fueled by the “big”lie” that was perpetrated by trump. just focus on that bit of bs which is just a small portion of all of trumps other full fledged lies and nothing else needs to be discussed. just based on kris krebs and atty gen barr and all the other trump appointed judge’s decisions if you want to ignore facts so be it but i moved on long ago. john says september 13, 2023 at 7:01 am although i agree with your sentiments and commend you, i need to point out that nafta was passed in 1993 by the 103rd congress, big d majorities both houses. of course, the old school gop was the wellspring of thought on “free trade” but passage of nafta was ultimately owned by ds across the board. proud midwesterner says march 7, 2024 at 6:51 am but nafta was always a pre maga gop priority and it was a bitter pill for hw bush to see it passed on clinton’s watch. also, clinton only had congressional majorities in his first two years, after that it was the gingrich revolution and all gop investigation, all impeachment, all obstruction, all the time. michelle says april 20, 2023 at 6:49 am america stands no chance at being above average, let alone, great, as long as low education/low information voters keep allowing themselves to be manipulated by those at the top of the food chain. as long as they can keep you engaged,  falsely thinking you are somehow looking down at the rest of us  :stoking fears that we are parasites living off your tax dollars and wanting to corrupt your children with depraved sex education while taking all your guns  they know you arent going to be looking up at them the real enemy that has been robbing you blind and removing any chance you had at a level playing field while you hated your neighbor,. this .conditioned false belief of your moral and intellectual superiority is why fox, donald and the rest of the “swamp drainers” were able to mind f*ck you with such blatant lies and its obvious, in this age of easy access to multiple forms of nfo to verify things, that your refusing to do so is another layer of armor.. you’re always right if you never verify you may be wrong, right? you need to extricate your heads out of your rectums and focus that misplaced hate on some huge, difficult, bi partisan problem that could be a step toward a better country, like term limits for congress. sandra corbett says april 21, 2023 at 1:13 pm i concur!! other corrections are the right to vote. federal issued citizen’s id cards, no more gerrymandering by both parties, accountability for police with no protection by their union when a death is involved.,if your news organizations is telling lies all the time about local, state and federal governments. then your news organizations should not have tv or radio space on air. every congressman and senator should be held accountable to uphold their oath to the usa constitution.. corruption shouldn’t be tolerated.! linda marie hammons says april 25, 2023 at 5:59 pm my god!!! democrats are so scared of trump……but trump is actually our american savior…..he will re fix the mess we have ❤️👏👏👏👍🙏🙏🙏 eliza smith says april 27, 2023 at 8:14 am i’m not “scared of trump”… i just reqlly don’t approve of him because anyone who doesn’t respect our country enough to let the vote go the way it’s going to go instead of asking someone to “‘find’ 11, 780 votes(in other words, just act like i didn’t lose” is not predidential material, maybe mafia material but not president material. biker dan says april 29, 2023 at 3:11 pm the democrats defiantly cheated in the 2020 election! president trump should be serving his second term right now. any body who supports the democrats either hate america or they have been brainwashed by msnbc and cnn, cbs, msnbc, ext. ext. don’t you ppl see that those liars are globalists and they hate this country because it’s a great country! ella novek says may 10, 2023 at 8:59 pm brain dead reply! bryan says april 27, 2023 at 12:54 pm no fear of the person; the idiocracy he personifies and the “less than bright stars” he brings out is concerning. the idea that anyone would think trump is a patriot or americas savior is laughable. the only saving trump does is for trump. joe bladto says may 15, 2023 at 6:15 am biden sucks and is a corrupt liar! guest says august 30, 2023 at 2:46 pm joe, without a doubt. and biden the clown is very crooked too. eliza says october 3, 2023 at 9:41 pm how are your rants working for you now.? trump the one term, disgraced, twice impeached convicted rapist with 4 indictments and 91 charges. if all of us never trumpers just stand back and watch trump and republican party implode. they’re off to a great circus, i mean start. the republicans civil war. donna peterson says may 18, 2023 at 10:54 pm amen 🙏 carri walster says may 28, 2023 at 5:32 pm hmm, and what mess is that? covid? embargo/tariff act? rising gun violence? where do we start? i can wait until you get your head firmly out of your a** to reply. i’m patient. chris olds says may 29, 2023 at 7:24 am rofl, standing there and yelling your bullshit, doesn’t make it any more true. broadbrushing over generalizations. that amount to blah blah blah. you’re playing right into the hands of the american nazi party. they have you hating your fellow americans. worse, blaming them and spouting off hate. you’re right where they want you. ignorant and hateful. *slow clap. wake up lady. anonymous says june 1, 2023 at 11:48 pm only in your wet dam. dreams let. him. grab your stink pussy anonymous says june 15, 2023 at 8:53 pm 👍 ricky sandefur says july 26, 2023 at 2:46 pm listen maga moron trump cannot stay out of jail or fix anything after all he was the cause of most of our problems! bob says july 7, 2024 at 10:01 pm no, putin’s flunky is russia’s saviour. bob says july 7, 2024 at 10:20 pm gee linda marrie trump is only interested in corrupting the system of government so that it operates for him personally and close cronies/underlings in the exact same manner as the kremlin. the english speaking world watches ameruca in awe as a large portion if the voting public are too dumb to notice the obvious. trump is too ignorant for public office, is way too corrupt for it and has an agenda based on the copy of mein kampf he keeps next to his bed and advice from a dictator called putin that trump thinks likes him instead of funding him stupid enough to use. proamerican says april 22, 2023 at 5:29 pm funny how all the previous generations had to strive to succeed. if one didn’t ,they fail. either they tried harder or stepped aside. now the world wants everyone to believe they’re a winner,and there aren’t any losers lol what’s that show that everybody wins? everybody has talent !ok….just pathetic! today everyone needs validation, justification,and a pat on the back and a cookie. the lefties are so lazy they want the world to lower the bar and our standard s so the lazy can compete too. stop demanding and earn it !!!!!! doctors are lesson schooled,pilots require less hours,and blacks/asians/lgbtq get the job by default. ha, talk about selling out the posers,just dispicable. 5000 years,and all of a sudden we need 3 bathrooms? what’s next planes just for fat ppl? seriously? what a pathetic society. get rid of social media,and the world will be far less noisey. people of today need to realize that history always repeats itself, and it will be far uglier than pre 1980. so regardless of who biden is blaming today for his short comings,he’s really divided the country and is deliberately putting races against each other,and zero good will come from that. freedom of speech my arse! well only if your ideology pairs with the lefties. google search for instance. they twist every search 180 degrees,if the search has “black_asian_gay in the search………disgusting political pandering. traditional is what america was built on,. not what the “last house on the left (white house) is promoting. joebama dividen , killing america one day at a time. he has dementia, and it’s as clear as the nose on his face. not the guy for the job ! come on desantis !!!!!!!!!! anonymous says april 25, 2023 at 5:09 pm really? ron is an idiot. attacking disney, abortion rights, social security, seriously? i guess the lively hood of millions of seniors who are surviving only due to social security. money they have been paying from their first job to their last. not going to happen, hopefully ever🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 ella novek says may 10, 2023 at 9:05 pm there shouldn’t be any abortion rights! these babies are human beings! i had two children who aborted their babies! my heart to aches over this and i will never get over this! enovek ricky sandefur says may 17, 2023 at 7:20 am not your body or your choice,! get over it and move on. funny you care so much for a clump of cells but not for mothers and babies outside the womb! bryan says april 27, 2023 at 1:01 pm whiny desantis. nobody needs that idiot. he’s a child with the taste of power and first time control. is that you demetri, post reads like a russian bot. ella novek says may 10, 2023 at 9:07 pm you sound like the whiney child! how many of your babies have you killed? ughhhh says may 15, 2023 at 12:48 am oh honey i hope you get the therapy you need, and while you’re at it please do some real research, nobody supports infanticide, or abortion up until the end of pregnancy. if you believe any of that bs then it’s very clear that the republicans purposeful dumbing down of america has worked like a charm on you. under roe as soon as a baby was viable to survive outside of the womb, it was too late to have an abortion. most abortions are done before the cells even become a fetus. they are not children and no woman should be forced to share her vital organs with a fetus, or a ball of cells that she doesn’t want to share her vital organs with. we should not be forced to share our bodies and forced to give birth. cadavers, dead bodies get more respect than women do in a lot of this country now.. you must have permission to take a dead person’s organs for a transplant, yet the legislatures in red states can now stop women from obtaining their own health care, from making their own choice..? we should not be forced to lay in a hospital bleeding out because doctors are scared to do their job. i hope these non  babies that you’re so worried about we’ll get the same care and concern from you once they actually become people. and regarding your daughters, they made their own choices regarding their own futures and their own lives,. if you love them you should understand that they are their own people and should absolutely have the right to do what they did.. you also shouldn’t impress your own beliefs and feelings upon others. just because you didn’t like your daughter’s abortions doesn’t mean nobody else should have the opportunity to make their own choice. anonymous says april 27, 2023 at 4:58 pm how funny that statement really is let’s talk about some of the advances that the liberals have made in our society women’s rights voters rights for those of color and those that weren’t wealthy women having the right to get an education healthcare should i go on but it’s too much for you to realize what the liberals have done for this country to make it more equal society liberals aren’t lazy. they’re also some of the most intelligent educated people in our country but you don’t like that that goes against your narrative. nobody should have to work till the day they die be on the assembly line somewhere where they don’t give a shit about who you are what you did or what your home life is like you just go to work one day and down the line they push you inside and they replace you with another worker so they wouldn’t bring back child labor that’s republican they want to lower the amount of the minimum wage which hadn’t been raised in 13 years they don’t like unions because all my god we can’t have that they don’t want medicaid medicare social security vet care housing care, food stamps in the hospital you tell me why not and every other civilized country they take care of their people because they pay taxes for that very reason but you call it socialism i don’t. i see it as a government working for we the people it shouldn’t just be for the elites and the corporations so shove your thoughts about the liberals shove your thoughts about the progressive because if it wasn’t for them, we would not have the advances that we have today and technology electronics and kids that can see a future that you cannot and that is one of the quality deb says june 1, 2023 at 2:41 pm abortion is murder as soon as there is a heartbeat its a person who has the right to be born not to be sucked out like a vacuum because that is what abortion is that little life when it sees that coming at it that vacuum it knows that will be the end of it it will have no chance of life once that hits him or her it already has enough sense to know that it is being done away with it has a soul and whether you believe or not it goes against god, i know there are many generations out there that do not believe in god and i pity those folks because judgement day is fast approaching and only the believers will see his next coming so you will have planes that fall from the sky with no pilot cars, flying off into oblivion because of no driver, utter chaos and all because god has called his chosen home. then you will have to deal with the aftermath and trust me when i say all nations fall from within from the corruption at the top and you cannot get more corruption than from the liberals and democrats they are the worst human beings possible. noydb says november 19, 2024 at 4:39 am deb. all you guys say you are conservative and also you say that you are pro life, but not anti abortion. in life you can’t have it both ways, you can’t be pro life and then ignore the people who have lives after they’re born. can you? that’s not what the bible says. and what you guys who are conservatives and who claim to be such great christians, which i am a christian by the way,, you will be spewed out from his mouth if you intend to continue this hypocrisy.. nowhere in the bible to say you’re supposed to condemn your fellow man for being poor. nowhere does it say in there that you are supposed to attack your fellow neighbor for having a different opinion. and for god’s sake don’t you remember what it says in there, what you do to the least of these you do unto me. i know the bible. do you? do you read it? you just listen to the garbage and filth spewed out by these televangelists? i used to be the kind of conservative myself, but after living in texas for over 20 years i’ve become vaccinated against such nonsense. i might go back and visit texas one of these days but i sure as hell won’t go back to live there. it’s full of people just like you. trump has broken so many laws that the justice system is a joke now, they don’t even respect or enforce their own laws because he’s rich, because he’s powerful, because the supreme court is owned by him and his cronies and the previous ones like reagan and others who put those same types of contaminated, highly slanted and unfair in there.. for life. the only way we can get rid of them is to have them removed by congress, and that appears to be a very very slim possibility no matter what these guys do. no you are 100% wrong, you should be ashamed and you should get down on your knees and pray for forgiveness to the good lord who created you. yes i’m angry, i saw what he did the first time. there is a wise old saying, those who do not follow history, live to regret it and it is also said that they will relive it. i’m not a liberal, i’m an independent and i’m even more dangerous than then to you, because i have an intelligence level that’s far exceeding yours, i have an education, and i’m not ashamed of having it. put that in your pipe and smoke it. josbornne says september 13, 2023 at 6:26 pm “traditional is what america was built on.”. the two or three sentences right before that leave no doubt that by ” traditional” you really mean “white”. if i still had a dog he’d be going nuts over the screeching dog whistles up in here. jimmie. cockburn says april 22, 2023 at 8:30 pm the fathers of usa created the best country in the world, the politicians , especially the democrats, are destroying the usa. we the usa is a banana republic now, if we , the people of usa don’t stop this the usa will disappear !!!!!!! walter says may 4, 2023 at 7:34 am the only way we will loose the us is threw trump.they are planning the take over now. if you don’t get your act together we will loose. you must be lost anyway. the rnc had their meeting in hungria with trump buddy victor orbin then they invited him over here so get your act together traitor. anonymous says june 5, 2023 at 11:50 am where the hell is hungria? 😂😂 anonymous says june 13, 2023 at 7:36 pm seriously, you’ve never heard of hungria? it’s a small country between hungary and austria (hence the name “hungria”) that was founded by fascists from around the world as a safe haven for autocrat loving people fleeing democratic republics. anonymous says april 22, 2023 at 9:15 pm outstanding! noneya says april 23, 2023 at 2:43 am if you don’t like it here, then there’s the door. don’t let it hit you on the way out. i hear cuba and venezuela have great socialist systems where they oppress their people, most live well under the poverty level, and they enjoy great tyranny where they have no rights! why not try it out for yourself instead of trying to create hell here!? julio says april 25, 2023 at 3:05 am i certainly don’t want 4 more years of this…….do you? biker dan says april 29, 2023 at 3:14 pm the democrats defiantly cheated in the 2020 election! president trump should be serving his second term right now. any body who supports the democrats either hate america or they have been brainwashed by msnbc and cnn, cbs, msnbc, ext. ext. don’t you ppl see that those liars are globalists and they hate this country because it’s a great country! trump 2024 melvin myers says may 7, 2023 at 7:57 am biden won the vote but that is because of social media and mainstream media bias to biden manipulating the news. had they been fair , trump would have won. bring back the fairness doctrine for these times marla says may 13, 2023 at 3:44 pm in more than 60 cases, judges (predominately republican appointed) looked at the allegations trump was making and said they were without merit. they were unable to bring forth any credible evidence that showed any sort of fraud. i am an independent, so i am impartial for the most part ,but the only one i see trying to steal an election are republicans. democrats won fair and square. if your still having trouble with the truth, wrap your head around fox paying almost 800 million because they lied about the election. move on to real issues. ricky sandefur says may 17, 2023 at 7:49 am your an uneducated idiot what is wrong with people that support trump you have no idea what your talking about. trump lost there was no rigged election! you trump morons need to shut up move on and get educated and put your gun down and get a life! oh absolutely says june 12, 2023 at 6:30 am biker dan, those very brain damaged people that voted for bozo biden should really be held accountable for all the trouble that they have caused our country now. gw says january 2, 2024 at 9:01 am biker dan, without a doubt. walter tuck says may 4, 2023 at 6:32 am the rep.got it all planed out,they are working on their leaders for the take over.it all their in black and white. once the take over its no going back and these repparty will be the only party. if we don’t get the people to start thinking who to vote for we are lost. everybody i talk to says i don’t care i can’t do anything. it’s funny how the same crooks get in there everything and don’t do anything for people i always think of ky. jesse ziegenhagen says may 4, 2023 at 8:17 am these multiple forms of info to verify things with, that you speak of, are all owned by the same super evil group of trump hating people who have you mesmerized & transfixed. you are just a useful idiot who they will sacrifice first once their agenda is finally actually served multiple layers of of verification my ass holy hills says june 9, 2023 at 5:38 pm yelp true it’s good very good at times to hate your neighbors see many

sickened at the ignorance that so prevalent today. but i also feel hopeless to do anything about it. when my right wing sister, who i love, tried to convince me that hillary is an infant blood drinking human trafficker i lost all my faith that the usa will ever be ok again. amen says june 26, 2023 at 4:38 pm michelle, they have to stop the very mentally retarded people from voting. problem solved. gerald norman says april 19, 2023 at 3:22 pm it does not matter what the truth is, i have never been a democrat or a leftist. i have always voted as an independent and will always do so, i exercise my rights with firearms and voice my opinion if asked. but now the republican party has lost their minds. they are jerry meandering trying to cheat the elections, lying, bullying people because they don’t have a leg to stand on. save your breath it will not help, these people have no sense and no morals. we will just continue to fight the good fight. proamerican says april 22, 2023 at 5:05 pm you sure sound like a far lefty to me ! :/ jj says may 16, 2023 at 6:43 pm amen harold roth says april 22, 2023 at 6:30 pm i was always a republican until the bushes came to power and took away all the best deductions we had. they removed the deductions for deducting car interest, credit card interest, second mortgage interest and a bunch of others so the republicans can give the rich a break. they started reducing a lot of other deductions. then they started with the crap of going to war against drug dealers but only went after the little guys and not the rich dealers. dan says april 29, 2023 at 3:18 pm and you claim to be an independent? ya, right! i think your as much leftists as biden and the rest of his communist brothers and sisters! their motto, “destroy america “! kevin roberge says may 22, 2023 at 6:52 am the stupid burns bright in this letter. the right has got to hate says april 6, 2023 at 6:11 pm good grief! this entire thread of 4000 plus comments has some of the most ignorant close minded comments i’ve ever seen. as far as socialism, everytime you drive on a road, use public transportation, a public school, rely on the police, walk on a sidewalk, call the fire department, etc etc. you are basically using infrastructure people and things funded by and built for, the common good. that’s socialism in action, can’t think of a better example. stop the hating, and the baiting. lib tardestroya says april 9, 2023 at 12:18 am wrong. this is why you have a ged and i have to sned you a welfare check. keep clutching that ebt card in your mommys basement until that bk lobby needs a good mop down or fries need to be made mic rofoon says may 5, 2023 at 7:20 pm it’s s e n d, not s n e d. that’s why you don’t have a ged, or even a grammar school diploma. it’s also why your pathetic lack of critical thinking skills has landed you in the ranks of the maga gqp. the left is truly dangerous says april 13, 2023 at 2:49 pm you know full well that isn’t what today’s left is about. you are about full control of everyone’ s life and wiping out people you disagree with. anonymous says april 21, 2023 at 4:51 pm ditto!!! jimmie cockburm says april 22, 2023 at

don’t stop this the usa will disappear !!!!!!! reply the very true facts says may 23, 2023 at 4:47 pm jimmie, all the liberals have very severe brain damage to begin with. stacygreen says april 24, 2023 at 10:23 pm i agree fedupwiththeleft says april 17, 2023 at 2:41 pm false. 🤦🏻‍♀️ american patriot says april 18, 2023 at 11:54 am no no no no no that is not socialism socialism is what people

mentally ill person that should go see a shrink. and just maybe, you might get the help you really need which in your case it is very very unlikely. not hyperbole says april 13, 2023 at 2:52 pm the far left has made it clear through their puppet biden they are on a quest to wipe out trump voters. even if you voted for him and regret it now. the far left wants genocide, the absolute fact says april 16, 2024 at 9:28 am not hyperbole, the very far left scumbag democrats were voted in by those moron people in the first place and really should be held accountable for all the trouble that they have caused today. they deserve to be sent to russia china and cuba since they will be slaves over there. brenda says april 19, 2023 at 11:39 am uh in the bible gods bible says it states illness is the devils put uh the first ones to pop pills for any illness our church people there’s that god but when anyone does not believe regular people there mentaly i’ll our if you don’t believe there’s are

step back and listen and observe the pure idiocy of what is going on in our nation right now and actually see that we as a people are assisting in the suicide of what i used to think was the america i was so proud of. the left the right the this the that come on people really.wake up folks wake up richard eugene venson sr says april 7, 2023 at 5:51 am the founding fathers yes they had that dream only people like trump and republicans lead by that small group of the greedy rich yes they are the problem reality of our present situation but they certainly are not the way things should be trump is a tool of putin who is trying to undermine and distablize the us and the rest of the sane world , while trump is milking the us of all the money he can steal while trump the narcissist is being used as putin’s type of leader to populate the world leaders using trump as the fascist model leader . putin has spent lots of his money keeping trump afloat and he is seeing his return on his investement with trump fealty to him. that small group of greedy rich americans just want to pay no taxes do away with social security medicare and medicaid taking us back to days where we have the rich and poor. the greedy rich don’t realize once trump gets the power of the military they won’t have so much power careful rich people what you hope for a world of fascists oligarchs lib tardestroya says april 9, 2023 at 12:20 am wrong. libtardation is a severe mental disease. you can cure this by passing 7th grade getting a job that doesnt involve making fries and a mop and stopping siphoning welfare checks.literally no one believes or supports your nonsensical ficiton. tiredoftheleft says april 17, 2023 at 2:54 pm i’m so tired of hearing people make the claim that trump is a tool of putin. do you all not realize that not only is this false but that the relationship he had with putin kept us i’m dealing with the very sort of nightmare that we’re getting ready to deal with now? there is nothing wrong with world leaders trying to get along. but, there is something wrong with someone who pays lots of money to make it look as though an individual is guilty so that the world will believe a lie like the very lie that you believe. did you miss the memo or are you just in denial at the fact that hillary clinton was found to have paid for the lie that you bought into hook, line and sinker? also, trump made his own money. he didn’t start out wealthy and, unless you have forgotten, america is a country where have the freedom and the ability to become anything you want to be, and he just so happened to make himself rich by borrowing money from his grandfather that, by the way, he paid back in full. no one handed the man anything, he has worked for it. however, there are multiple people who are in washington who haven’t worked for squat and they are making millions of dollars to run this country into the ground. these are the individuals you ought to be upset with, not a self made businessman who wanted to turn this country around because, whether you want to admit it or not, it was running. into a brick wall when he came along and decided he wanted to do something about it. and during his entire time in office he was hounded by the left, lied about, threatened, his life was put it great risk and multiple times people tried to assassinate him. but you didn’t hear him complain about the many times radical leftists try to take him out. and honestly, just imagine how much someone could get done while in office when they’re not being treated the way he was! and let’s not forget that, until he decided that he wanted to run for president and until he made it clear that he wasn’t going to be on their side every single one of these people in washington and all of these celebrities loved him and praised him and talked about him like he could do no wrong. but changed? i’ll tell you what changed, he wasn’t willing to play along like all of these puppets in the past have done, and like this current puppet is doing. he wasn’t willing to continue to allow americans to be lied to and run over by the government any longer. also, he didn’t want us in wars any longer and, news flash, those wars are what made money for the very individuals who have continually stirred the pot since before he was even in office. also, this man worked for free the entire 4 years he was in office. he gave his check right back to the american people, every single time. not to mention all of his own money that he gave to america. he’s not greedy, he’s the opposite! anonymous says april 28, 2023 at 8:38 am you are correct! marion says june 19, 2023 at 9:25 am no sir. trump did not make his own money and tried to hoodwink his dying father into establishing him as the sole executor of the estate. please don’t believe that big lie. surely you do realize that the appentrice was fiction, right? trump has loopholed his way around taxes, finagled and lied to banks and associates, and bullied his way through his entire life. i beg you to seek the truth. read, read and read some more marlin says april 20, 2023 at 4:32 am not so fast kimo sabe.the bidens are visually and proven takers ..hunter biden a gas company board of directors member ? naaaw i bet he couldn’t tell you what a mcf of gas means..yet here they are were finding out

ted cruse and our opioid crisis probly wouldn’t be noticed if that fentanyl illegal type hadn’t been allowed over and now wew find they were giving apps on how to effectively enter the usa !!! trump is not perfect but you and everyone is neither..its getting crazy the methods they are trying to push to catch him at anything! i’m waiting for that idiot da to press charges on scratching his ass but i do believe the entire democratic group is very capable of f being found guilty of that .. ricky sandefur says may 17, 2023 at 7:29 am your another trump moron it is a fact that most trump idiots never went past eight grade and are unemployed women haters like trump. the man is a pig! dan says april 29, 2023 at 3:30 pm and you probably think joe biden is god! jj says may 16, 2023 at 6:51 pm do you really still believe the russia lies? it was proven wrong. trump should sue even man that signed that letter. without a doubt says march 22, 2023 at 7:10 am all brain dead people should be banned from voting altogether. val fitzgerald says march 26, 2023 at 9:15 am i’m leftist, which means that i love america and i rejoice in having been born here. i’m italian american and i consider myself and my family to be proudly super civilized and accepting of all good hearted “others”!!! al bundy says march 28, 2023 at 6:02 pm most guinees are commies curtis says april 4, 2023 at 11:03 am i agree. trump doesn’t care about other people, just his evil self and worthless family! antvee says april 5, 2023 at 7:39 am i think that would be biden and his scum bag criminal trash family believe u got those names mixed up libtard !!! am says april 7, 2023 at 9:42 am antvee, speaking of biden the scumbag which that low life piece of trash is being so very protected today since he is now known as the untouchable. go figure. anonymous says april 5, 2023 at 5:59 pm nobody’s believed this crap we are being fed how could s as ndboudy believe the rap and get by with it slow mindset and try to make everyone believe how can we survive with the bill our trying to feed lies ron francis says april 7, 2023 at 8:19 am so what is italy when your ancestors moved here? if you loved left wing bs so much why did they move here?. sure with your moron beliefs over 100 million innocent people have been murdered by your stupid beliefs . . that is a proven fact. trump was a very good president. your ignorant communist are scared to death of him. wh? because he is not a murdering stalin, mao, musolline, lenin castro, or hitler.. samuel miskelly says april 11, 2023 at 7:40 am i 100 pc agree with everything u said lib tardestroya says april 9, 2023 at 12:24 am wrong jobless cretin. you failed at life. have the common decency to end it all. its the only way every one over 4 stops laughing at you me says april 13, 2023 at 7:09 pm not true dan says april 29, 2023 at 3:37 pm so that’s why he kept his promises and got us oil independent and lowered our taxes so i got to keep more money in my pocket from my job? and you trump haters also got more money! or do you think joe biden is so great? let’s see, joe biden got americans killed in afghanistan and since he’s opened the border to let everybody in, plus the fentanyl that’s already killed over 100,000 teens in this country? and you call trump bad? you people are sick! anonymous says april 5, 2023 at 10:46 pm being leftist means you have no morals no values you believe in nothing you are nothing, you are less than a man. you probably voted for biden, you fool, get help!!! guest says april 7, 2023 at 5:48 am anonymous, all retarded people shouldn’t be allowed to vote at all since those bozo’s are really the ones that have really caused all of this mess today in the first place. and biden the clown himself made these dumb fools believe that he was going to do a good job once he got in the white house, which is why they voted for him. let that sink in you liberal fools. proamerican says april 22, 2023 at 5:52 pm biden won’t be happy until he emmasculates every straight man on earth, especially the 70% . if it were up to biden, we’d all be starving with $2000.00 monthly electricity bills. remember biden/robinettes had slaves,that’s where his guilt stems from,no guilt on my end. if biden has his way, this country will resemble a worn out country full of crime/graffiti/disease and ghettos. coming to a theater near you. bidens mantra for 2024. “pride is overrated joe biden 2024” hurl josbornne says september 13, 2023 at 6:45 pm 70% of what? might. need to clean the lint and fecal matter out of your dog whistle. what does come through clear is that you’re obsessed with the gay/straight thing in each comment. must’ve had an intense homosexual crush in high school or something that didn’t work out. whenever someone like you keeps coming back to gay stuff, i figure i wouldn’t have to dig too deep to find the barbara streisand records and village people costumes. dan says april 29, 2023 at 3:40 pm you got that right! the left are as dumb as a box of rocks if they think biden is a good guy! biden should be charged with treason and shot dead! anonymous says september 13, 2023 at 6:54 pm classic! call people dumb as rocks and then proceed to advocate for murder of the potus on a public forum. brilliant if you ask me! you getting this, usss? i think a house call from a couple agents might be in order. anonymous says march 30, 2023 at 7:03 am totally agree and these hypocrites need to stop invoking a god they show zero respect for… tami says april 1, 2023 at 1:41 am ha yeah see

you to have a baby out your hoohah a human mind you.. you women have no self respect whatsoever and god has nothing to do with it … gen 2:7 basically spells it out for you… air in nostrils is when human life begins and those 6 idiot men should be forced to have a baby out the eye of their dick/ johnson! donald trumptard loving pos peggy says april 5, 2023 at 6:30 am absolutely right! i’m really worried about this country! for a long time we had faux news separating the country! now we have a big orange turd that they worship! right wing media oddly keep their ratings up by just telling their viewers exactly what they want to hear! they believe the lies so deeply because its what they assumed to be true! now their news station is confirming it! weird tv but it makes a lot of money. and we’re losing our country if we don’t regulate disinformation! and/or teach media literacy in schools. myvue says april 6, 2023 at 12:02 am wow! hatred is hard on the cardiovascular.; might want to get your hinges reattached, if those on the left really cared so much about women, why haven’t i heard them once scream and tantrum for vasectomies. males getting their tubes tied; could prevent a lot of unwanted children from being conceived and enable women to avoid the trauma of abortion. isn’t it strange how vasectomies haven’t been promulgated anywhere near abortion. irresponsible males who bought the sex revolution lie of ‘free love’ should especially have it done; women should not have to take most of the responsibility for male irresponsibility. as for your own victim mentality gaslighting extended to women as victims; who is forcing women to have babies? it is deranged and super insulting to stereotype women as brainless sheep. besides you wouldn’t even be on the planet if mama hadn’t pushed you out her ”hoohah’. seems the only life you value is your own. your hate filled rant certainly detracts from your credibility and suggests you have 3 pointing back. don goodinson says april 8, 2023 at 4:37 am i think with a couple of exceptions most of the american presidents are arseholes.jimmy carter,he that sees flying saucers.george bush jnr,brains of a gnat and now the donald.i lived in the states for a year and found they were very limited on what they knew about politics and the outside world.i wouldn’t even mentioned the times i was asked where south africa was. mic rofoon says april 8, 2023 at 3:01 pm jimmy carter is a very good man whose gifts do not extend to top management or administration. he is likely a genius, having served the late admiral hyman rickover as a nuclear propulsion engineer. how you can even mention him in the same sentence as w bush, who can’t even pronounce “nuclear” is beyond me. there is quite simply no comparison. sylvia says april 9, 2023 at 3:29 am name 100 things he did to screw country? then name 100 things biden did to improve our country and lives? what are the 34 felony charges( specify them 1 by 1) adrienne sanders says april 20, 2023 at 9:25 pm amen! wow that was incredible! you stated it perfectly! dan says april 29, 2023 at 3:47 pm you got it turned around. that’s all the things biden did, not trump! trump made this country run smoother then ever! got gas prides down! lowered our taxes! kept our enemies afraid of us! now we have an idiot in the white house that shakes hands with ghosts, and can’t remember what state he’s in, and has to ask a child what country he visited 2 days ago, because he can’t remember! and you think trump was bad? you are a fool! kr says february 26, 2024 at 8:30 am can we say insane !!!!!! you need help! you really, really need help!! lise says february 20, 2023 at 6:35 pm dr brian neil talarico, north bay psychiatrist brutally abuses his power, he brutally beat my girlfriend to the floor. it was a retaliation. my bestie had reported talarico for woman beating, child molestation, harassment, and predatory stalking. he does nothing but constantly physically abuse, threaten and stalk her, police catch and release… violent harassment continues. robert bryant says march 4, 2023 at 7:49 pm the left does not hate america, just the racist tunnel visioned pigs that for some reason think we should all be like them. the right has zero answers except for kissing the rich people’s asses. complaints and culture wars are all they have. they will be swept away by the progression of this world. change is inevitable and so is the stupidity of those trying to stop it! complete fools! anonymous says march 8, 2023 at 3:03 am it’s really tough being a kid in todays world. cj says march 21, 2023 at 8:11 pm i am so sorry that half of the country and the people i have sat by and allowed to run the country have left you with very little to work with. . you’re not let anybody give you a commentary … you may not even be a kid, as you remain anonymous. but even if you are not, i am ashamed that we did not do a better job to keep our children safe and to the gentleman who has spoken and left this commentary on why the left hates the right. i don’t see anything left or right about being kind and being part of a religion i thought we led by example, if you’re religion makes you feel that procreation is absolutely necessary . i also believe that we should educate children. these children of god that come upon the earth , we should show them how nice we kept our land , treated each other with respect. that is what we say is conservative? if we truly are the one true country that leads the whole goal by example.. joseph says april 17, 2023 at 7:33 pm america is a big fat joke to the rest of the world because of letting that big fat orange cheeto asshole run our country. thank god he’s out and biden is in. thank god for joe he has spent the last three years trying to clean up the mess that the one before it was in there made. many reasons why trump is hated and he has shown the world most of them. and there’s the ones who love him who go out and make it a daily mission to piss people off cause trouble shoot guns and just make complete assholes out of themselves 1+ one will still equal three to those bozos.!! all i can say is it that jack ass gets back in for a second term i am prepared to leave this godforsaken nation that i used to be so proud of, but not anymore everyone can just jump in bed with the skinheads and the nazis and live in peaceful bliss under satan‘s rule. i don’t give a shit anymore. the first day trump went into the office was the end of the world for us. anyone with any common sense whatsoever in their brain could see this all coming, or has witnessed it. i’m sick of all the name calling the backbiting, the killing, six year olds running around with fucking ar 15s. that one i just can’t get over guns guns everywhere who are we going to kill today. oh but it’s right to kill it was self defense you see… don’t send me to prison i’m not going anywhere but your neighbor who stole a pack of gum gets 20 years. trump still hasn’t been thrown in prison yet, what does that set for us as a people? unfair favoritism to all the wrong people who get away with literal murder. there is no equality and justice, it’s all about money and always will be our crooked nation and the people who jumped in the fire. i am so glad my parents aren’t here to see this and my grandparents. this nation was built on their backs, how shameful we should feel. but we won’t we will just keep on keeping on just like every day comes and goes with even more bullshit and even more crazy people feeding us a bunch of trash on the news every day. thank god for canada!! proamerican says april 22, 2023 at 6:02 pm it’s gonna get a lot more difficult, that’s if biden doesn’t start a nuclear war. bidens admin doesn’t want the minorities to stand on their own two feet. he wants them to ride on the backs of the white americans that make this country operate. look at the black countries, still the same as they were 5000 years ago, zero progress. biden states, go welfare 2024. the truth hurts. ! bill niewohner says march 10, 2023 at 8:45 am such a bitter and hateful response. can’t we work together like reagan did and president clinton did ?stop the name calling. “racsist tunnel vision pigs “? anonymous says march 30, 2023 at 7:07 am hope you mean both sides with the name calling… and maybe the problem is that too many view this as something with 2 (two) sides… in a country so large and so complex…. maybe that is a narrow view. i have lost countless hours of sleep and peace since i was a kid because i have always been a gray thinker… there are never only “2 sides” to anything… not even “what’s for dinner?” wokes a joke says march 10, 2023 at 4:31 pm says the guy trying to turn kids into the opposite gender. that’s called grooming that’s why we hate you valerie fitzgerald says march 26, 2023 at 9:26 am no, that’s not called “grooming”, except only by the super ignorant like it seems that you are. nobody “tries to turn kids into the opposite gender’…god (for his own, unknowable ressons) is who does that. your (god given) super duties as your children’s’ parents? to foster in them a sense of respect for all others despite any differences in body, origin or (and especially) religion! anonymous says march 11, 2023 at 11:31 am …….more marxist communist demonazi propaganda………………. nobody says march 20, 2023 at 8:59 pm so true val fitzgerald says march 26, 2023 at 9:29 am why be anonymous?! ashamed of yourself, are you?! anonymous says april 4, 2023 at 3:42 pm all democrats are worthless pos biden a primary example anonymous says april 4, 2023 at 2:29 pm yes. they hate america. the real very true honest facts says april 5, 2023 at 6:57 am anonymous , and they really need to be punished very severely for their very horrible crimes since those filthy liberal scumbags are just out to destroy our america completely. adrienne sanders says april 20, 2023 at 9:28 pm yeah, well the omly good republican is a dead republican! jasmine says march 11, 2023 at 3:04 pm i see we have too many i only watch fox remarks val fitzgerald says march 26, 2023 at 9:37 am your ignorance shines bright, ‘wokes…” with every word that you post.. val fitzgerald says march 26, 2023 at 9:49 am lol…notice how they all seem to be afraid to sign even with just their first names? lol…! anonymous says april 4, 2023 at 2:57 am it’s called were smart you fucking fool. only a fucking complete idiot is going to reveal who they are online. especially when you have to deal with baby killing, americans who can’t figure out there fucking gender., who are extremely violent most of the time as proven time and time again by so called “peaceful protests” fuck off you american hating pig. dan says march 13, 2023 at 12:02 pm you’re a complete fool! i am center right and i care about the well being of the peoples in america! the left are trying to destroy america and take away our right to bear arms. they care nothing of the constitution and want to make up their own rules! their motto, destroy america! nothing but the truth says march 21, 2023 at 7:05 am dan, the lefts are just like filthy cockroaches that really need to be punished very severely for their crimes. too bad we don’t have real laws anymore since these very disgusting low life pathetic loser democrats are very protected nowadays. val fitzgerald says march 26, 2023 at 9:41 am yeah, guess what? america is a democracy  or, so our founding fathers taught, when they gave us our constitution! brant says march 26, 2023 at 7:57 pm wow! your comment is so full of hatred! i’m a republican, conservative, a christian. & a natural born american. i am so sorry.. please, with all due respect, please let us know what has happened in your life that the democrats are directly responsible for? share with us how they turned your life from great, into a tragedy thats filling you with such rage, anger & hatred, that it spews out like something from a demonic hell. what did the democrats do to you? how did they change your life from good into complete shambles?and what has the democrats done illegally or otherwise that you feel they need to be severely punished?? & what is a severe punishment that we could do to them? let us know friend how your life has been completely destroyed now. we are here for you. let us know all the horrific facts that’s happened to you. and may god bless you & your tortured soul & ruined life. 🙏 charles herrmann says march 27, 2023 at 8:33 pm oh dear god! nobody is trying to take away ur right to bear arms! just simply ban war weapons! grenades r illegal and or any weapons that r designed to kill mass quantities in wartime! automatic assault weapons have no place in society! poor little scared cowardly little babies need them because they r so afraid! grow a pair whimpy republicans and stop making it so easy to commit mass shootings! ken says march 29, 2023 at 1:01 pm chuck you might want to check your own shorts! we have millions people crossing our boarders what kind of weapons are they bring with them? if you have people shooting at you something equal would be best. there is a reason other countries don’t invade the united states it’s our guns! anonymous says april 4, 2023 at 3:06 am it has been proven time and time again that taking those so called war weapons away will not stop the criminalsfrom getting them. also if you knew your facts you would know that not a single mass shooting in the last 50 years would have been prevented if these laws they want to enact were in fact in effect then. in other ward it doesn’t work. only fools think taking guns away from legal law abiding americans will stop the criminals and crazies from getting them. the only way to solve this problem would be to ban every single type of firearm in the whole fucking world. god you people are so single minded and can’t see past your own stupidity. you got your heads so far up the democrats asses it’s not even funny. the difference between democrats and republicans is us conservatives aren’t lining up to try and take our fellow americans rights away. it’s all in the name “democrat” stems from democracy; which is mob rule. so for all you fuckers who keep saying democracy threat to our democracy. guess what dumb fucks we don’t live in a democracy. we live in a “constitutional republic”. and thank god for that. a democracy is where 51 percent control the lives of the other 49. anonymous says august 16, 2023 at 8:39 pm automatic weapons are already illegal. an ar15 is not an automatic weapon and is not a weapon of war. they are functionally the same as any semi auto handgun, you pull the trigger and one round is fired and you have to pull the trigger again to fire another round just like a handgun. most mass shootings are committed with handguns, criminals don’t follow laws and will still get guns even if they’re banned, and the 1994 assault ban was found to be ineffective in decreasing violent crime and homicides and there was increase in violent crime and homicides committed with other types of guns and other weapons and the banned guns were still being used as well. you know what has shown to be effective in stopping school shootings? hardening our schools and having armed guards. just a couple weeks ago a school shooter was stopped before anyone was harmed because the school had an armed guard. d. w. says march 14, 2023 at 6:34 am now this guy knows the truth. gerald j. boyum, on the other hand, sounds like quite the fool. anonymous says march 15, 2023 at 4:33 pm is not the left hates america , could it be that they do care about the rule of law where we keep saying that no one is above the law , they care to keep and maintain everyone respectively of wealth accountable to the constitution and the rule of law , because most liberals believe that no one is above the law not even a republican president that has a history for criminality. one question do republican now that they might become the minority want to trough our democracy away for a plutocrat and fascist government, because they ( conservatives evangelical ) have given up on christ and worship the god of monetary green . trump himself said he only care and believes in himself not a god . wow annie schinnypuff says march 27, 2023 at 8:36 am the left care about the rule of law? with exception to the thousands and thousands that break the law when they cross the southern border illegally .the left continue to agree with mutilating children all in the name of lgbtqrst gender bs, drag queen shows for kids, teaching kids to be racist, buying votes by promising kids to pay off student loan debt, false ideals on climate change, bidens in bed with china, inflation thru the roof, gas at $5.00 a gallon, democrats care about one thing “power” that’s it . they are a very very sick group of people without morals, without common sense they believe in power and will go to any lengths to get it and will appease any weird group of people if they guarantee votes for them. johnny a says march 28, 2023 at 6:54 pm i grew up in the segregated south and i can tell you whole heatedly. that the democrats were the ones who created and upheld the jim crowe laws. how did society forget simple facts about this stuff? what happened in the 7 years i ignored media and politics that allowed the party that supported slavery aka the democrat party is now considered the party of tolerance?? wow you all being such great disservice to the people who fought to free black americans aka the republican party. anonymous says march 15, 2023 at 8:53 pm and you have the rtypical brainless liberal post no substance qaat all just ludicrous words with no brainpower behind them val fitzgerald says march 26, 2023 at 9:31 am why be anonymous?! ashamed of yourself, are you?! val fitzgerald says march 26, 2023 at 9:44 am get out the american dictionary and next time you post, check it! nobody says march 20, 2023 at 11:27 am you’re absolutely right…except i do not “hate america “…. or even trump… i just really dislike what he has turned our country into. america was great. i don’t care what he  or anyone sàys  i love my country but look at us now… now we(they) are trying to justify putting à very bad, self absorbed màn in the presidential election again….. so he can make us all self absorbed, rotten people who are afraid to do or say they ethical things…. it’s not that we don’t care, but if we say we care that trump is just plain wrong, we will be in trouble! is à çountry of bullying and hate the place you want to raise your kids??? not me!!!! i’m sorry but i cannot condone the behavior of the gameshow host ŵho still fancies himself à president. i’m glad biden won fair and square. i hope he can so it again!!! val fitzgerald says march 26, 2023 at 9:33 am i bet biden does win again…even here in tx, he’s beginning to be prized! ragan says april 1, 2023 at 1:17 pm val, biden for some damn reason is untouchable, and even the laws are in that moron’s favor now. go figure. johnny a says march 28, 2023 at 6:48 pm i’ve been out of politics and media for over 7 years so i missed a lot. please explain to me exactly what donald trump did to hurt american citizens and the economy ect. i like to ask the regular people because maybe they saw something i didn’t. and please link data so i can research it. ty samuel miskelly says april 11, 2023 at 8:07 am really u think that ould ira loving bastard will live that long lets hope for america’s sake no arlene says march 23, 2023 at 5:47 pm you are so wrong.. the left hates america and we all know it.. and who is that, that you say kisses the asses of the rich? check out who this administration being led by the misfit biden and his regime are kissing the asses of.. good old whore ly wood millionaires/billionaires.. for some reason trash like biden seems to think it gives him credibility.. nothing can give that slimebag credibility.. no one that sleeps with his own teenage daughter should be allowed to be free.. he belongs in prison.. along with everyone who supports such trash as he is.. brant says march 26, 2023 at 8:35 pm thats right arlene, you tell it right! kudos to you! .i too, am a republican, consevative, faithful christian & natural born citizen of the usa! so i got your back. now share with the leftists how your life changed from great to almost unbearable! .list the facts of all the things that are now different in your life since biden took office! let everyone see the list on all that has changed in your life and all that you lost in your life because of the democrat’s! share the facts of your dismal life! let them know why you are now a different person so full of hate & rage that everyone sees it like a black cloud over your soul, that makes you just a negative debbie downer that no one wants to be around! we are here for you! & may god bless you today & always!!🤛🙏 ben says april 10, 2023 at 4:56 pm arlene, you really are so right. greg butler says march 24, 2023 at 10:33 pm biden is the racist.did the eulogy at byrds funeral .a grand marshall of the kkk. .said obama is the first clean black person who can speak. and believed in segregation. .the left is intolerant.. my god read history. i can see it now you sitting in ur first college class,mouth a gape,eyes wide open and never blinking. some instructor saying how unfair capitalism is .your brain soaking it all up and believing it. thinking i knew my parents didnt know anything. not knowing this idiot could not get a job anywhere else but a college..thinking im the smartest person in the room ,so i should be paid the most and never understandin how jim and bobs fish and bait store makes them 5 times more money than he will ever make.the left is racist always has been robert m toner says march 29, 2023 at 7:41 pm really…. duck your head and grab a starbucks anonymous says march 29, 2023 at 8:44 pm you must be a ccp jerk anonymous says march 30, 2023 at 7:02 am nailed it… nonie says april 1, 2023 at 9:54 am the left are the fools. wharton they are doing is destroying the very country they live in. they think they will be supreme rulers telling everyone what they can have, do and say. i do not understand why anyone would want to be a leftist follower. mm says april 5, 2023 at 7:09 am nonie, they’re without a doubt the very same severely mentally retarded brain dead people that voted for that other retarded old man clown biden in the first place which is why we have all this trouble today in the first place. dan says april 29, 2023 at 3:52 pm you got that right! biden and his scumbag friends have destroyed what trump had done to make our country better! dan says april 29, 2023 at 3:50 pm that’s what happens when you have a fake president running the show! mandala says february 7, 2023 at 11:33 am * xl pipeline shut down * baby formula plants shut down * hundreds of food processing plants shut down * oil refineries shut down * thousands of cattle mysteriously die at the same time * tens of millions of chickens destroyed * going ev when it is not at all feasible * refineries are not allowed to be built * giving away hundreds of billions to fruitless causes in europe * pushing transgenderism. * pushing satanism. * pushing abortion. * open borders, no restrictions for the illegal aliens. * compounding restrictions for legal american citizens. * pushing lies, cheating, stealing and master deceit. * go read the 1963 hearings on communist subversion. everything in that is happening now. everything designed to take out the middle class and families. democrats are pushing it. republicans are doing nothing to stop it. it is you versus them. it is time people understood this and took care of business. “you can ignore reality, but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality”  ayn rand ” no amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot.”   mark twain paul says february 9, 2023 at 1:50 pm get on youtube and look up russian spy interview on tv 1983 . in 1983 a russian spy defected came to the united states had an interview and explained it on live tv exactly what is going on when it began all the way until today and he is 100% correct going on today bob says february 10, 2023 at 9:23 am and republicans gutting u. s. manufacturing starting with richard nixon opening relations with china in the 1970s. the republican motivation was obvious lower labor costs with absolutely no consideration for the fact that the entire middle class depended upon quality high paying jobs to raise families put them through school support their communities and support the infrastructure to keep communities thriving especially schools. frédéric says february 19, 2023 at 12:29 am cuckoo!! josh says february 19, 2023 at 5:12 pm well said. conservatism is in no position to claim either moral authority or superior social policy. it is no exaggeration to say the right wing in america has nearly always been dreadfully wrong about everything from social policy to science to history and economics. additionally it seems popular on this web site to claim liberals and progressives “hate” america. ironically quite the opposite is the case.. i have never seen such unbridled hate of american principles as that exhibited by the political right wing. indeed they eschew any regard for the aspects of the country that are elements that can helped us to greatness. the maga principles are hollow, empty, hateful and exhibit not a morsel of adequate thought and deliberation. it’s no wonder you are losing support (if you ever had any) of genuinely moral and honest people. qedud kara says march 1, 2023 at 10:59 pm you literally described to the t the entire democratic party. you also gaslight conservatives by calling us all maga as though that means something bad. make america great again! why would any principled, hard working, constitution loving, tax paying, honest, legal citizen not want america to rise back up and be as great as she coul be? only those who want a free ride paid for by others and who want to blame others for every negative outcome in their lives would not want maga! for god’s sake every single incident predicted by trump (hunter bidens china connection, the big guys (dementia joe) 10%, hunters lap top and russia connection, covid coming from the prc lab not an animal, etc has proven to be true despite the democrats gaslighting republicans and now even the qanon pedophilia theory is proving true…its not enough you want to eliminate biological women now you democraps are arguing for having grown arse adults teaching sex education to the grade school children stating we are all sexual beings from birth. are you democraps for real! how you can be ok with showing explicit porn to little children so “they wont be horrified when they see genitals in person”…. they should be horrified at that age… you democraps have no shame and are the reason the country is so divided and why we are on our knees and are going to fall as a nation… glen coleman says march 13, 2023 at 7:55 am you don’t even see your hypocrisy. pathetic! suzy mac says march 17, 2023 at 4:49 pm he stole that from another useless asshole, reagan. buckle up buttercup treasonous traitorous trump is getting indicted between today and next week and i cannot wait to do a jig of glee. if you ever wake up to your complete gullibility of believing that lying, cheating, treasonous traitor snake trump please remember all the signs you chose to turn a blind eye to.and never let a piece of shit make you look like the fool you and the rest of the maga idiots you clearly are. anonymous says march 20, 2023 at 8:34 pm you are so right. 👍🏻 gpapa says march 22, 2023 at 4:02 am hitler wanted to make germany great again,, look at hitlers results. arlene says march 23, 2023 at 5:57 pm totally agree.. kara.. anyone who would not want to make america great again has to really hate this country and all of it’s citizens.. the left has gone out of their way to ‘tada” take america down again.. they truly should think about going to live in what they would consider a better country for them.. they definitely would not be missed.. imagine living in a country where everyone has loves the country.. the only way to achieve that would be to find somewhere for every democrat/liberal/communist can go to live as they want.. this is america.. love it or leave it!!! amy lynn daugherty says march 2, 2023 at 4:45 pm what planet do you live on? your comment could not be more incorrect. you need to do some research and fact checking before commenting. kristal kerkondis says march 5, 2023 at 12:24 pm republicans are the only moral compass in america today! abortion in demand a s murder, indoctrination of innocent children into hate filled racism and the lie of victim vs oppressor and adult/child sexual relationships as normal instead of what it is rape and tormented, deviated, perverted sexual crimes!!! open borders permitting terrorists, drug and sex traffickers into america with millions in tbe cross hairs of the crime ridden biden regime aka the world economic forum’s installed puppet and mouthpiece! sending over 20 billion to ukraine to secure (fill the accounts of the cabal and the deep state as usual) the border of a european fascist country at the expense to american citizens tax money while leaving americans wide open to destruction and takeover from communist forces! biden said this, “we’re transitioning into a one world government, it is painful but it is happening and it will not be stopped!” tells you everything that you need to know about the reason for the destroying of america and indeed every free country on earth! a one world government that you support tells us everything we need to know about you! traitor, fascist, brainwashed idiot all applies to you! steve says march 8, 2023 at 9:41 am funny how conservatives are so for protecting the unborn but once your born, you’re on your own. what kind of sick, bible thumping baloney is that? your country is 90% white yet whites feel they are on the decline. plus the maga crowd would rather base their knowledge on pipedreams instead of reality. where they actually believe rich narcissists have america’s best intentions at heart and you can write long diatribes in all capital letters about the twisted conspiracies you believe to be true. america is the land of the divided and warped, subjugated idealists who prefer corruption and weekend based religion as their truths. the american i remember is far too corrupted by both sides of the political realm whilst both sides continue to point fingers instead of working together. fear not kristal, you need not worry about foreign invaders destroying your country because your own people will do just that while your true enemies sit back and laugh. anonymous says march 9, 2023 at 10:18 am 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🫣 never pisted before or will again says march 10, 2023 at 6:00 pm i have been a republican my entire life but last 20 years they have spent more money than dem admin.s. gop destabilized the middleeast by replacing gov.s of iraq & afganistan at a cost of 4 trillion and many young men, looking for made up weapons of mass destruction. made abortion laws so harsh that my wife of 50yrs has to sign a notpreg doc to get her arthritus meds and my grandaughters all log their “periods” monthly to participate in sports. we scare ob docs with life in prison & say they can still use good judgement on women trying to have baby but preg issues must put her on death’s door before any intervention. now instead of actually governing we just yell about culture issues that you can easily fix: replace your school board already. you will find out that the dozens of examples that happen (in the 1 million schools) never actually were a problem at your school. if you really believe all the lies that fox news is now admitting under oath they lie to keep viewers angry but loyal. . please just try, as i have to get your news from 2 or 3 sources that are leftist ! along with fox or breitbart and talk to actual children in public schools and you will discover a whole new world that doesn’t make you scream all day. gays do have too much influence but aren’t killing my children. your angry kid / g.kid / nephew with a gun maybe will. i own 3 guns but laws allowing minors to carry assault rifles is not helping me ! john mccullough says march 17, 2023 at 2:55 pm while i respect your right to express your beliefs, i believe there are some misconceptions in your comment that need to be addressed. i feel it is important to engage in a respectful, fact based discussion to better understand and each other and our different perspectives. regarding the issue of adult/child relationships, it is crucial to clarify that no decent american, regardless of political affiliation, condones sexual abuse of anyone, especially minors. the left, like the right, is deeply concerned about the safety and wellbeing of children. mischaracterizing this issue serves only to distract from the genuine efforts both sides are making to protect the most vulnerable among us. on the topic of border control, it’s essential to differentiate between the desire for open borders and the need for effective, humane border policies. the left is not advocating for open borders; rather, we are calling for improved border management that focuses on staffing high volume border crossings to prevent criminal activity and drug trafficking. since the biden administration took office, there has been a significant increase in drug confiscations at the border, indicating the effectiveness of this approach. additionally, an expensive, continuous wall may not be the most efficient use of resources, considering the diverse terrain and complex challenges that our border presents. in regards to foreign policy, specifically sending aid to ukraine, it is essential to recognize that this support is grounded in our long standing commitments to global stability and the defense of democracy. many years ago, the united states and its allies negotiated with ukraine to give up their nuclear arms in exchange for a promise to protect their sovereignty. by providing support to ukraine, we are not only fulfilling this promise but also working to prevent the expansion of aggressive actors, which could ultimately drag us into a war we do not want. as for the quote attributed to president biden, i could not find a verified source for this statement. it is crucial that we base our discussions on verified information to ensure a fair and accurate representation of the facts. i encourage all of us to be diligent in fact checking and critical thinking when discussing these complex issues. in conclusion, i understand that we may have differing opinions, but it is through respectful dialogue that we can find common ground and work towards a better future for all americans. anonymous says march 20, 2023 at 8:38 pm yes !!!! 👍🏻 mr smith says march 31, 2023 at 2:15 am did someone brainwash u…or..did u doo it urself ? dan says april 29, 2023 at 3:59 pm why do you think joe biden and his family got all those millions of dollars?they sold russia and china a bunch of the classified reports joe biden has stashed in his garage. you democrats are just plain stupid! peter says february 14, 2023 at 4:14 pm your the nightmare the founding fathers feared would happen to this country. republicans, maga & the religious righteous morons are beyond unhinged and detached from reality, truth & logic sense. you accuse everyone of exactly what your doing & you lie, twist & live off talking points fed to you & you could care less about facts, proof or self reflection of your wrong doings. your party or group sole purpose is anything against the left/the libs/the progressives & thats it nothing else matters period ❗ “he who does not wish to see chooses to be blind” your choice to be so blinded by your sides rhetoric & your laziness to research 4 facts is unconscionable unless you do search 4facts but decided they didn’t fit the narrative you’ve already committed to so you choose to just ignore them & carry on with the propaganda which is worse. convincing yourself that you a patriot of this country & you honor the constitution while literally attacking that the capital & have a noose to hang the vice president, look 4 democrat leaders to kill, your party attempts a coup & insurrection because you were lied to about voter fraud & it’s been proven. this would make the founding fathers curse your very lying political agenda seeking religious right attempting turning on this country foundations soul! you march on the streets of this country shouting “usa usa” &”we’re gonna take our country back” from who? the rest of the country”americans” that didn’t see things your way, is that who? we the people is all american citizens not just republican maga citizens! get help! peter says february 14, 2023 at 4:18 pm get out of the holes you slide into for to long. narc doe says february 16, 2023 at 7:49 pm so what your saying is that you do not believe in the bible, or god , and the liberal party is the answer?, i will tell you the truth, you have no solution,a parot could do better than you, what is the solution, you will find out very soon when you confess on your knees that god is your creator and you never should have fell for your baby killing, lgbt agenda, i say choose jesus, and give up your satanic redoric anonymous says february 20, 2023 at 1:55 pm the best agenda is choosing reality, not what other people tell you or write down which has no basis in fact and no proof whatsoever for their assertions. railrider says february 20, 2023 at 4:03 pm marc doe, you might want to read the bible, not the version you made up. jesus had some real views on the hate the so called religious right believes in. read about the sermon on the mount when jesus fed a multitude of people with 40 loafs and fish, maybe your to twisted to realize that was a act of socialism. governor huckabe said there are two kinds of americans, normal and crazy. assaulting congress is no normal, forcing a raped 10 year old to bear a child isn’t normal either. unlimited gun ownership when children are being shot down in their schools is selfish and deplorable, not to mention your disgraceful comments on lbgt people. check out the history of nazism and fascism, modern conservatism i has more in common than you think. ps i’ve been a gun owner since i was 14, yet l’ve had no use for a semi automatic rifle. jm says march 21, 2023 at 10:36 pm looting and setting things on fire isn’t normal. giving sexually explicit material to a 4th grader isn’t normal. destroying churches isn’t normal. attacking people with different veiwpoints than you isn’t normal. blocking whole streets so you can race cars isn’t normal. most of the young left are spoiled brats. they have been given their way since birth and respect nothing except what they want. all they know is how to leave ugly comments trying to one up whoever disagrees with them. they don’t want to work and they have no drive. all they know how to do well is blame other people for their own shortcomings. r. milley says february 21, 2023 at 7:22 am as we push freedoms toward lgbtq, killing babies, magnify the wickedness of the left, give our tax money to the russian/ ukraine war, the government is destroying the divinely inspired constitution of this country. president biden’s dementia has been covered up even before he took office, which is why he stayed in the basement for most of his campaign.. the physicians that did his last physical should be put on trial for lying to america, his presidency has been the worst this nation has seen. it is a democrat inflation that is destroying the american economy,robbing our nation of manufacturing, food supplies all because of the green agenda. he is denying this country of its own oil and sending our reserves to china. he should be arrested for treason. this is the american truth and you leftists forget that god is in charge anyway. anonymous says march 8, 2023 at 10:02 am your absolutely right….biden is so bad for america. trump made his cronies richer and killed a few million americans with his handling of covid but yes….gotta hate those democrats. god is not in charge. you don’t even know if he exists, you just use his name to back your overall lack of intelligence. i guess you failed to realize that the age gap between biden and trump is nill. sound like you need to pray more because you are so easily swayed by conspiracies. conspiracies that have no factual basis. if biden should be arrested for treason then trump should be arrested for murder x __million! guess you believe the insurrection was god’s doing too? no more koolaid for you. akhnaten says february 27, 2023 at 1:30 pm believe in the buybull? believe in god? the god that, in a fit of pique, because he didn’t like the way he was being worshipped, wiped out every living thing on the planet besides what noah brought on the ark? that god? fuck him, he’s a fucking cocksucker. the greatest trick the devil ever played on idiots like you is to convince them he is god and god is the devil. you’ve been conned. secularism is the only solution and liberal secularism is the goal. after all if it wasn’t for xtianity our progress would be light years ahead of where we are now. xtianity = death. yourmigraine says september 18, 2023 at 6:20 pm we got a new age soviet here steve says march 8, 2023 at 9:49 am choose jesus? what makes you think he cares about the problems of mankind? what is satanic rhetoric? nobody knows god’s truth but god. not you, not the guy with the $2 prayer book, nobody. judge not unless you wish to also be judged but you probably already knew that. if you actually read the bible you wouldn’t be so confounded by division because the bible supports tolerance not ignorance but hey go pray to a statue and hope it saves you. john mccullough says march 17, 2023 at 3:09 pm was it not jesus who warned us to not judge our neighbor? matthew 7:3 5 niv “why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? how can you say to your brother, ‘let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? most self proclaimed “christians” in america today have strayed far from the teachings of christ. they use the bible and jesus name as a weapon to shame those who they decide are not worthy of love and acceptance. that is the exact opposite of what jesus wanted. he said to love thy neighbor and judge them not. he warned of the heretics who think they are christians! maximous says march 21, 2023 at 7:00 pm judge me not?… some excellent scriptures for those who love to twist matthew 7:1 and who wrongly claim that christians are never to judge….. we are required to: judge with a righteous judgement: [john 7:24] judge all things: [john 7:24] judge sin within the church: [1 corinthians 2:15 16] judge matters between the brethren: [1 corinthians 6:5] judge preaching: [1 corinthians 14:29] judge, false spirits and those who preach and teach counterfeit gospels and false doctrines: [2 corinthians 11:1 4] judge the works and workers of darkness: [ephesians 5:11] judge false prophets and false apostles: [2 peter 2 1 john 4:1   revelation 2:2] judge false christians among us: [1 john 2:18 20] ernie says february 19, 2023 at 11:43 am i have never in my life seen such a long post that says so little. you spend paragraphs name calling and accusing others of not searching “4 facts” and you give no facts to back up any of your arguments! take a look at the first comment on this page. those are facts!!! anonymous says march 12, 2023 at 1:09 am if you were given facts, you wouldn’t believe them. like saying the gop is pro cop unless they are looking into crimes a republican committed. ashley babet wasn’t murdered you may think she was because the cop that shot her. is black. republican presidents since the 50s have put our economy in a recession and then democratic have to save the economy and fix whatever damage the republican party has done to agencies in the government dan says april 29, 2023 at 4:17 pm is that why joe got us in to a recession? idiots! amy lynn daugherty says march 2, 2023 at 4:46 pm if you read the comments, yours is the only one that sounds unhinged. anonymous says march 5, 2023 at 10:52 am bravo and very well written. anonymous says march 12, 2023 at 4:11 pm great article .hope it wakes up those who don’t want the truth dan says april 29, 2023 at 4:06 pm your completely brain washed you idiot! noah edelson says february 16, 2023 at 5:59 pm your claim is that the democrats are too commie friendly? uhm.. it was trump who recently said “we should be nice to china”.. forbes magazine, ever the capitalists friend, responded with an article titled “is trump on chinas payroll? if so, impeach him!” this was back in 2017. currently,. it seems biden is trying to start wwiii with russia. i wouldn’t say thats a commie friendly stance. in fact, he is violating the agreement that jfk had with russia. clinton was the first to betray jfk in such a manner, pushing nato up to russia. even jack matlock, the ambassador to russia under bush sr and reagan said that this was super unwise   both in the mid 1990s, and recently. the ukraine euromaiden ’14 “revolution” was strongly supported by obama’s cia. so.. you are about 180 degrees from correct. the sympathy for the communists is now coming from the right. they even play tucker carlson’s fox news rants on russia today!! (i think they are actually some of the more sensible things tucker has said in the past. i wish folks would take orwell seriously now. he basically predicted all of this back when he coined the phrase “the cold war”. look it up, im not lying. also: orwell was a hardcore marxist / democratic socialist, even volunteering to fight for the spanish poum (a marxist military group that supported the republicans against franco’s fascists). “every line of serious work that i have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism.”  george orwell, _why i write_ (verified on wikiquote ) also from wikiquote, same essay: “my starting point is always a feeling of partisanship, a sense of injustice. when i sit down to write a book, i do not say to myself, i am going to produce a work of art. i write it because there is some lie that i want to expose.” and: “in my opinion, nothing has contributed so much to the corruption of the original idea of socialism as the belief that russia is a socialist country and that every act of its rulers must be excused, if not imitated. and so for the last ten years, i have been convinced that the destruction of the soviet myth was essential if we wanted a revival of the socialist movement.”  george orwell, preface to the ukrainian edition of animal farm, kara says march 1, 2023 at 11:09 pm you are dead wrong about socialism. it is communism and how about reading or even reaching out to the thousands of defectors from “socialist” countries and get their take on what it means to have the government in control of its citizens every day lives. liberals and socialist just want to have more sex, drugs, and rock and roll while someone else pay their bills…. republicans want to party to but we work hard and play harder but at least we earn it. alex says march 18, 2023 at 3:55 am ok karan. anonymous says february 20, 2023 at 1:59 pm it’s so awfully funny to see people like you talking about “reality” when you base your own lives, actions and judgments of other people on your personal beliefs in things which in fact, have no basis in reality and there’s no proof that what you assert ever happened. chuck meeryman says march 10, 2023 at 11:52 am wake up people died for our country you destroying our god bless nation with redigested anti moral gay 🤮🤮🤮 leave our children alone shut your mouth do some good,go pick trash on the road just the facts says march 3, 2023 at 1:11 pm mandala, the very sad problem is that most people nowadays are very severely mentally retarded since they don’t know right from wrong to begin with. anonymous says march 8, 2023 at 9:53 am your comment is an insult to all those people with legit mental retardation. living proof that you lack common sense and respect for those less fortunate than you just to make a point that your opinion is the only one that matters. anonymous says april 1, 2023 at 7:52 pm anonymous, and you without a doubt are very severely mentally retarded altogether. dave says march 8, 2023 at 4:09 am it’s great to see that honesty, truth and common sense does exist! biden and his accomplices like fouchi should be in prison. mayors, governors, judges and prosecutor’s that don’t follow the constitution and/or enforce laws should also be incarcerated. you said the very truth says april 3, 2023 at 8:35 am dave, right on. nettie says april 15, 2023 at 4:36 pm what about nancy ,hillary clinton wrong doings. 🤔.i hope you all remember we hired them we fire them we need no reason ask labor and industries. chuck meeryman says march 10, 2023 at 11:44 am biden doesn’t know nothing that is pure or right he forgot about being a child . you mess with innocent children with gay faggots you need be gone ,nothing else said,no liberal bullshit gone dead,dust no cops no state police gone go to your grave anonymous says march 12, 2023 at 2:39 pm still beats trump! anonymous says march 14, 2023 at 6:42 am at least mark twain says the only facts, in that backwards rant. thom says march 14, 2023 at 3:02 pm the left is a coalition of mistaken intellect. all have one commonality: a perview which is dissident to the universal symmetry we in harmonics describe and ascribe as truth… judy turner says march 15, 2023 at 1:54 pm so very very true i knew all this an more too yrs ago i said to my hubby america has fallen from grace a long long time ago an truly it is so my still hope is still i’n jesus’ christ my lord an be savior out only hope law can’t help doc cant help an really now the way things are fast progressing even clergy cant help so the holy word of god doerh say when you see these things happening to. look up for your redemption draweth nigh thank you jesus you very much nailed it completely says march 21, 2023 at 7:11 am mandala, you wrote a very excellent comment which is the very truth of all. christina says march 27, 2023 at 11:04 am you forgot pushing integregation which is against the bible , the law of nature and god’s law. the bible says do not let your daughters marry their sons do not let your sons marry their daughters. do not make a coven with them. acts you cannot have clean from unclean. do not let your cattle breed with a different kind. race mixing is wrong. loving verses virginia 1967 needs to be abolished including all the amendments after the 10th amendment. we are only supposed to have 10 amendments to the bill of rights. a 1959 judge said god almighty created all the races and separated them in different areas because he did not intend for them to mix. the un section 2 international law forbids racial genocide. ted cruz of texas on tv quoted a bible verse homosexuals are to be put to death. we can not have the leftist dumbcrats destroy america by turning it into sodum and gohmorra. mr smith says march 31, 2023 at 12:28 am it totally amazes me how people come on to internet sites & spout their alternate realities . debunking all your totally made up nonsense is such a total waste of time . you totally swallowed kellyann’s …alternate facts nonsense . congrats . & today …trump got indicted in new york . good luck arden keyes says february 1, 2023 at 8:23 pm america does not seem too idyllic when you consider: 1. the gun violence epidemic. 2.america is the most obese nation on the planet (by far), so the people are saturated in low quality life. 3. top five in developed countries with largest national debt. the republicans are just as duped by the “elite ruling class” because mr. trump is definitely part of that strata of money power structure and certainly fed more into that “elite ruling class” power structure just as must as all the other insincere presidents. margeina p mcclelland says february 15, 2023 at 7:15 am ok. and who was pushing to open up china? kissenger! that old globalist toad! i was not born until 1970, but have watched my beloved nation completely change. most american were proud of their country. we believed in a rule of law, respect for different opinions, we know what a woman is. liberals were against big government and regulators. big business was something to be wary of! now? they love big everything especially overbearing government! the positions the left now champion are deranged. mutilation of the genitals of small children is not liberalism. cancel culture is not liberalism. fascism is not liberalism. not prosecuting thugs and criminals in the name of equality is evil. the ideology that drives the left agenda now is so frightening i am selling my house and getting away from the city. it is no longer safe in democrat run cities. i now believe if you only listen to the corporate talking heads and don’t get real alternate information, you are misinformed. my god, walter concrite was a huge globalist. how many people know that? i was raised hard left. i didn’t leave the” liberals” i belive they were high jacked by marxists. i think if more liberals were political junkies like myself they would realize they were swallowed up by radical socialist who they share very little in ideology. suzy mac says february 19, 2023 at 7:26 am boo! you sound like a frightened child. stop watching tucker, hannity and ingraham they are helping you look like a completely misguided, gullible moron. get an education and stop watching cable propagandists. david b says february 20, 2023 at 1:07 pm mutilation of the genitals of small children isn’t happening anywhere in the us as part of any child exploring what gender is. such an action would and should be considered criminal abuse by anybody liberal or conservative. the issue with many arguments on the right is that they’re fighting against a demon that simply does not exist. kara says march 1, 2023 at 11:12 pm you are dead wrong about socialism. it is communism and how about reading or even reaching out to the thousands of defectors from “socialist” countries and get their take on what it means to have the government in control of its citizens every day lives. liberals and socialist just want to have more sex, drugs, and rock and roll while someone else pay their bills…. republicans want to party to but we work hard and play harder but at least we earn it. leo says march 3, 2023 at 9:21 pm the democratic party has always been the party of govt regulations since fdr because it works without strong regulatory powers greed runs rampant & we get endless boom & bust cycles blantent pollution , & consumer abuses . big corporate interests ? ha 😄 just ask djt rated as the worst us labor potus ever   cwa he put big corporate interests over working peoples 24 7 for 4 years you fox zombies live in an alternate reality world . president biden has been a pro us labor potus as he promised his infrastructure bill creates over 15 million new us jobs ! real good paying jobs . i seems like today’s gop voters don’t even know their own parties agenda ?? it’s all about lib owning & hate mostly based in falsehoods barry barney says february 18, 2023 at 2:48 am how dare you taĺk about the only president that has been a real president in the whole durration of my life. if you are so impecable then maybe its you that has brought on this rising cost of everything . beyond the bullshit that you spread all over . its just another way for you to point the eyes of america away from your own greed stricken selves. you justify it in your own minds by saying “if it weren’t for poverty we wouldn’t know prosperity”. i can just see that non elected piece of barrok hussain, joebombya obiden, or obuyedin and his family of crooks just setting there on the wave of destrctionthat started this tsunamy against the very fiber of this great nation that “we the people” have grown to lazy to defend against terrorists in our own government. starting with our own cities police. and rising to our very own presidetial position. well now it can no longer be that the best liar wins. because we all have internet access. we all should and do demand transparentcy. in our government. yet we all stood in silence and watched the crookedest family in america steal our election right out from under us. and we all know that we are considered to be their dumb cattle. but we the people have become fat and lazy .so much that we have let this kind of election fraud go on and on. and even when we are forced into seeing it ,which we were in that last election, we just simply say oh well what can i do about it and it gets swept in to the rising wave of destruction . because we dont want to be deemed as a terrorist we just sit and hope it doesn’t hurt us individually.. but let me tell you all it is our government that has been infiltrated by the terrorists andthe sooner they start seeing our real constitution being used for what it was set up for then we will have bigger wavesof destruction untill we finally cause another cleansing of the earthand this time there will not be an arc to save mankind. it will be the end of mankind and everything that goes with it. so again i saylets break out the ropes and lets watch them take their oaths of office and lets hold them to it. because this is what made america great in the first place. and it is the only way to keep our great nation great. we really need to teach the constitution in all schools so that our nation does not get lazier than it already is. and our children need to knowhow we became this great nation so that they will carry on with it and not be over comed by any crooks taking their oath of office lightly. we need to impeach the whole congress. for this and run their own laws that they have made themselves immune to right up their own asses. pardon the me for the language used but that really gets to me how they can make themselves immune to the same laws that they impose on us. that there is treason if i ever saw treason that is it. and now that we have the ability to see their transparentcy we demand it . and anyone who takes their oath of office lightly we need to stretch their neck. this will insure our nation stays great. we need to all wake up for our country is always at stake. so if you love your country it all begins right here in our infastructure . and that you can bet your bottom dollar. but only in the states where gambling is allowed. ha ha moses says march 2, 2023 at 10:00 pm 🤣🤣🤣🤣 wow, just… wow. “obombya” and “obuyedin” is quite likely the brainwashed thing i’ve ever seen. it’s almost sad how hilarious you are by accident. think about it for a second. you know you didn’t make those names up yourself, but you use them endlessly to get a cheap chuckle. putting it simply, you have no real sense of humor, nor originality. you borrow the things you hear to sound like you know what you talk about, but i bet dollars to donuts that you have that thick diatribe is a copy/paste you keep in your notes. 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for the laughs. you’re sharp as a freshly tumbled marble. tyggs says march 5, 2023 at 11:50 am such a long winded view that shows that you’re not too bright. you get a ⭐️ for participating. just saying says march 17, 2023 at 7:47 pm you have to do it with threats and violence because you will never win the 2024 election. keep passing draconian abortion bans watch the youth turn out to vote ( who generally vote republican lol ) and after they seal your fate you can try to explain to your base that it has to be fraud because how can a bunch of 20 year olds not vote republican when you have stripped a right they had for 50 years by a conservative republican supreme court. good luck in 2024 you’re going to need it. ha ha ha costa ladeas says january 28, 2023 at 4:51 pm republicans wish they could be trump. a corrupt, amoral, rich scumbag.. albert eric says january 14, 2023 at 7:16 pm join the illuminati 666 today and become very rich in life, hello are you a man or woman, business man, business woman or an artist,politicians, student and you want to become big, powerful and famous in the world…money is not an issue with us, if you are interested contact mr noah on whatsapp +2349061156438 barbara bush says february 5, 2023 at 10:26 am you will be out of money and work soon just wait till trump steals all your money and puts it in his pockets….. stupid people do stupid things and loose all there money. just ask the king of filing bankruptcy. so that is the book you need to buy how to file for bankruptcy!!!! lindagist says december 24, 2022 at 5:20 am the house jan. 6 committee released its final report thursday on the “unimaginable” 2021 attack on the u.s. capitol, a mob assault by supporters of the defeated president, donald trump, that shook the nation and exposed the fragility of american democracy.trump’s lies to the ‘unimaginable’ from jan. 6 takeaways anonymous says december 31, 2022 at 2:51 pm overload of emotions personal passionate history personal private matters that there is no black and white but only gray area not meant for group judgement discussion it was a private matter between a married couple in a unpleasant very personal moment not for preying eyes judgemental cold hearts you could never know the actual truth there is no such reality in emotional occurrence that’s nobody’s business who are they to judge let he with no sins cast first stone barbara bush says february 5, 2023 at 10:32 am i thought it was very well done and showed trump for what he really is liar, thief, a terrorist, a traitor, and a fraud, and lastly idiot, anonymous says february 5, 2023 at 10:57 am okay, but if left socialists stormed the capital when nazi trump won office we all would have been gunned down like pigs in a slaughterhouse. charles david wright says january 6, 2023 at 12:15 pm all republicans are haters of a unified democracy. trump is a over the top fascist, dictator minded lying psychopath. if trump should be able to gain any kind of public service office, he will use that position to only enrich himself. i could go on and on. michelle inlow says january 16, 2023 at 4:39 pm we can help with your brainwashed ideology if you want. if trump were provably a fraction as corrupt as the biden crime inistration, most of us would switch parties & be independent, probably. we definitely wouldn’t become democrats that hate america. nobody cared about politics until mainstream shoved trump down your throats & you bought every word. trump was beloved by all until he threatened your corrupt elites. you know that you’re on the wrong side when big pharma, big tech, big govt, big media, etc share your views. praying for you hard. it’s your only hope. james mason says january 25, 2023 at 5:49 am trumper comments are great because not only are they a great pick me up, as i’m reminded of how i’m not a delusional cretin worshipping a golden calf, it’s a sobering reminder that there is a large, preposterously stupid, and existentially threatening fascist movement in this country that will take many years to fully extirpate. praying for you, michelle. prayer doesn’t work, but it sure is a nice, dismissively patronizing thing to say to someone. :^) checkmate says january 26, 2023 at 12:11 am so… being mean and inhumane is somehow more americna to you then coming together and working as one for our spciety? lets not forget that the nazis only rose to power based off democrat ideas, which is whats happening now, then later turned socialists, which is the liberals all want, and then twisted and abused his power once all trust in germany was his to claim to commit the most heinous acts ever conducted by a man. which if we look back on democrat records, democrat presidents makes up majority of the us’s major wars (and these are only the declared ones on record). democrats owned slaves and created majority of what african americans complain about, jim crow, blackface, redlining, welfare, etc (both of which biden and kamala proudly announce that they imprisoned a lot of black folks in jail for.) its strange. that as conservatives, which its hinted in the very title, work to conserve the traditions and laws that created our society in the first place. it is a shame if we betrayed out founding gop members, majority of which were black freed slaves, ll of whom were thankful to lincoln probably the most famous of republican presidents, that we would somehow…..i don’t know turn into our confederate enemies? what sense does it make if the republicans suddenly though democrat slave industry ideas and big business were somehow america’s future but somehow the parties over the centuries never combined as one. in what world does any of those lessons in history make sense to you that the parties somehow switched idealogies but still hate one another? the easiest way to shift blame it by blaming someone else. don’t be fools. these companies, these media outlets, the social trending, ll of it paid for or orcstrated in a way that jusy turns liberals into attack dogs who will never gain anything out of it but a simple dog treat. don’t confine yourseld to being beasts. have a conversation. look at history. help your soecity. and no i don’t mean make a mean comment or tweet. just be human and provide for your fellow man. notice how i never brought race or gender here? because only pervs addicted sex talking about nothing but gender and only racists addicted to racism talk and think about nothong racism. think about it. anonymous says january 29, 2023 at 8:39 am i am.. treat your body as a temple.. exercise, eat healthy, pray=meditate become one with the universe…peace and love thy neighbors,getting back to basics (needs) hmmm…sounds familiar ? i think i read that somewhere in the bible. barbara bush says february 5, 2023 at 10:38 am you say things without prof of what you say. with trump we have a track record that is miles long. he told us what he was and showed us that when he opened his lying mouth. religion is dead it died on the cross many years ago. the only thing trump did was use religion to become president not by popular vote but the cheating way the electoral lying college. m.a.h. says february 6,

supporters. the real problem with trump supporters is they are all nazi’s. rosemary young says february 28, 2023 at 8:03 am what turnip truck did you fall off? narc doe says february 4, 2023 at 3:13 pm do you believe or have you ever heard of our creator god ?, or do you think you evolved from a monkey 🐒, you are the problem, as always you and your comments never have any type of solution,what are you, who are you, ?. try reading the book of mathew i challenge you?, then try to make the same self centered comment stefanie says february 15, 2023 at 6:42 pm yes agree. there’s nothing wrong with hating trashy evil bigoted beings such as trump and definitely nothing wrong with despising the nazism and fascism of the right wing guest says december 22, 2022 at 8:30 am to the southern liberal, get a real life already, you low life loser. bob says january 6, 2023 at 4:47 am bit of a sociopath?get a life?what are you?5 years old?sad bitter bigot i agree says january 2, 2024 at 8:50

brother anonymous says december 11, 2022 at 4:39 pm american conservatism, promoted by republicans and founded on biblical/christian principles that have resulted in the greatest country to have ever existed? you don’t have a religion, you have a mental illness. inbred donkeys have more intelligence than some of you retarded cunts. bruce says december 28, 2022 at 9:52 pm there you have it folks. the picture of a leftist who spews hate and ad hominem attacks. the face of the radical left. middle school maturity level and incapable of forming a lucid, logical argument. mrs gallo says december 31, 2022 at 2:46 pm overload of emotions personal passionate history personal private matters that there is no black and white but only gray area not meant for group judgement discussion it was a private matter between a married couple in a unpleasant very personal moment not for preying eyes judgemental cold hearts you could never know the actual truth there is no such reality in emotional occurrence that’s nobody’s business who are they to judge let he with no sins cast first stone anonymous says january 17, 2023 at 4:37 am well then let’s simplify this formally for all. it’s good ethics of the light ,positive. knowledge responsibility controll equalling response with ability versus bad ethics of the dark & negative = the opposite naturally & what both create as a valuable final product that one can exchange now one the positives product will have an equitable & fair out come of aprosperoys and flirishing society. while the opposite will have the opposite a failing society.so to be fair what do we have currently ? it’s a teetertotter kindigareners up with the democrats for social /people issues two party system then up with the arepuplicans for the business structures infrastructure emphasis.the people vote this in as needed. which has priority today? what with voters rights do you feel is higher priority today? look at current events & decide.now “if” one party wants to push the other party off the teetertotter then we end up in a zero put no game condition that is detrimental to our democracy republic = resultant in socialism trending communisim a plus for putin russia. or a tightly run country putting its infrastructure back intact after the storms and if we are all in unison there may be usa yet standing for everyone 2 run to when in fact the idea was we helped them to establish democracy in thier own country.supported & built roads, gave training sent corporations to help them start up to par to our country. it takes constant vigilance to attain freedom & union everybody better sleep with one eye open there are plenty of aliens spying our planet if not careful & intelligent using full capacity settling our differences in advanced form & put them at risk the probability of thier interference might put humans at the top of our own endangered spiecies list relatively fast. vote & vote wisely for continued human existence. without “mad max or soilient green” or walking dead perhaps the entertainmentcindustry could put out utopia samples or a garden of aeden scenarios to add positive to our manifestations by holding a more positive responsible point of view,for our children & grandcchildren.. as if you could be coming back in another life to reap what we sow viewpoint. scarey thought today! bob says january 6, 2023 at 4:50 am funny how you fail to criticize people from same political view points who behave same way, hypocrisy made paramount,pot kettle and black spring to mind wahatoya says february 6, 2023 at 12:26 pm you took the words out of my mouth. i said to myself did he skip over the rights comments? rubebait says january 13, 2023 at 4:22 pm i’m a progressive. all debate any policy or issue you care to. randolph

2023 at 6:48 am really stefanie says february 15, 2023 at 6:45 pm yes agree. there’s nothing christian or spiritual about conservatives. they are just power hungry and bigoted. by the way the nazis were never democratic or socialist but always mindless bigoted fascist right wing clyde says november 2, 2022 at 11:26 pm just read catholics in politics have no agenda, bull shit the supremes just removed a 50 yr precedent an currently going after more white children in college and fewer blacks. shame on the fanatic catholic communists on the supreme court what’s the most corrupt religious administration catholics period its well documented they objectify children and rape,sodomize , and cover up their corrupt behavior. so yes on religious agenda and criminal acts. harsh realization . republicants have no shame to murder a sitting president and build a government cover up. jfk desired peace, the war mongers in gov. wanted and orchestrated a south eastern asia war, ended in surrender too many lives lost while the fucks got wealthy ho hum life continues and look where the country is now, running away from democracy saying stop the steal while they are attempting to overthrow and steal an election, no agenda my ass as a registered republican i am ashamed to admit. be well michael l morgan says november 7, 2022 at 8:28 am more fact than fiction; may i suggest the brief speech by churchill after a dirty min intro, followed by an hour long applause: ” nevah, nevah, nevah give up!!” don brusk says november 12, 2022 at 12:05 am the democrats killed jfk like they killed abraham lincoln and because they could not kill trump the greatest us president in recent years is why they vilified and attacked him 24/7 like wild fucking savages, fabricated a russia hoax and embraced covid probably brought here by democrats so desperate as all else failed willing to kill millions of americans from covid and why democrats are killing even more americans with fentanyl over doses that the left wing media ignores biden and hunter corruption proof they above the law. anonymous says november 21, 2022 at 6:24 pm 🤣 anonymous says december 13, 2022 at 6:48 pm this guy shouldet be saying things about catholics are the best and so was trump look at what we have now a nut case no name 223 says december 16, 2022 at 2:17 am me thinks you are very ill informed. tell us

a marxist millennial. alexandra newland shea says december 25, 2022 at 7:38 pm good lord … these people calling themselves patriots .. who clearly don’t even know their own constitution; two items scream at me ( religious freedom .. they cram their brand of crazy evangelical bible thumping down everyone’s throat no matter their personal / cultural choice :=hard core bigotry ) and two the grifting ( emoluments clause ) that trump did from start up to his nft cards … pure rip off of the tax payer! to support his failing resorts. all the trips to his properties cost us millions in taxes for security / housing / food/ golf/ his unelected family and their families. he is so patently corrupt that the entire world laughs at the usa for putting up with him . what a catastrophic decline bruce says december 28, 2022 at 9:57 pm liberal southerner took a puff on her dooby, paused her woodstock double album and blurted out some dumb leftist tripe. hippies are funny. anonymous says january 26, 2023 at 4:10 pm shea says conservatives don’t understand the constitution, then spews ignorance of the same. religious freedom is simply that….the freedom to choose your religion. the separation of church and state is simply that…..no church shall run the government. democrats rely solely on hateful rhetoric and name calling because all of them lack the intellect necessary to hold a truth filled conversation. they are all upset claiming that scotus outlawed the right to murder unborn children, aka, abortion. that’s absolutely not what they did. they simply turned the decision of law back to the sovereign states, where it should have been from the beginning. some states will continue to allow abortions, some will not. don’t like the laws in your state, them move. so simple. offended that i call abortion what it truly is, murder? why? every pro choice person actually knows that abortion is murder. why else would the murder of a pregnant woman always be categorized as a double homicide? so, it’s only murder if someone else does the killing but not when the mother makes a choice? that’s what you call rational and progressive? and you have the nerve to call conservatives irrational sociopaths? it’s obvious that democrats truly are the ignorant party. democrats love to call republicans nazi’s, but it’s solely the democrats who blatantly follow hitler’s ideology. murder your own, take guns away from law abiding citizens, kill or hate those who do not agree with you, and the list literally goes on forever. and why? because democrats truly believe that the government teet is their path to a nonexistent utopia. where’s the money going to come from to support that stupidity? why can’t democrats, and for that matter, a majority of republicans, figure out that we don’t all have to agree on ideology, or religion, or whatever? yes, we all have rights, but we do not have the right to infringe on others rights because we don’t agree with them. i don’t care if you murder your baby. i don’t have to stand before god and explain myself. but wait, democrats don’t believe in god, so it’s all good. nobody is forcing any religion down your throats anyway, but democrats sure love to pretend it’s happening. it’s not. when was the last time you saw a video of a baptist or lutheran, etc. cut off the head of someone who would not convert to christianity? never….that’s the answer. but, democrats sure love the muslims, and those are the ones who truly shove their religion down your throats, otherwise they just cut that throat off your torso. but, hey, that’s okay. you’ll even worship and elect one as your president. obama. he didn’t screw things up too bad, besides causing the most racial discord this country has seen since before the early 1960s, back when the democrats were running around in their sheets and hoods killing innocent black americans. yeah, there’s the truth, if you know how to read. old al gore’s family were all into that scene. oh, i’m sorry, i told the truth there and that dispels the lie that democrats spew in an effort to get more votes from black americans. while democrats were out whipping slaves then hanging folks by the light of burning crosses, the republicans were trying to free them, hide them, and save them. it’s just the irrefutable truth, but, again, democrats can’t help themselves. they spew hatred, call names, and lie to get their way. if we could ever get democrats to be civil enough to agree to disagree, or to let everyone choose their own way of life instead of insisting that we see things your way, this country could actually move forward and progress. that will never happen as long as democrats continue with their current agenda. the outcome of your current agenda will be another civil war, and same as last time, the democrats will lose, because those who are right always win in the end. donnie snider says november 28, 2022 at 6:36 pm hello my name is donnie snider please advise how do i enter the president race? very seriously am interested i do not have billions to invest but at least i tell the truth i live in south western indiana little town iona population 8 alexandra newland shea says december 25, 2022 at 7:40 pm you tell the truth ? americans aren’t ready for the truth brandi c. says december 12, 2022 at 9:53 am willful ignorance does not equate to truth nor to reality. both trumpers (followers of a wannabe elite) and the the “woke” (followers of the actual elite) are willfully ignorant, choosing to accept spun information that was spun to entice their followers. stop voting for the ahats .. vote for non politicians, teachers, laborers and grocery clerks. vote for an actual american, not a hollywood versions. dummies. james says january 1, 2023 at 3:53 pm they did do that in 2016 dumbass. too much truth and transparency for them. too much straight to the point no sugar coating it bs. need another one like that and not a bunch of imbeciles who hire 90k more irs to hound us. so so sickening barbara bush says february 5, 2023 at 10:45 am get them out to vote for. not one of the people you mentioned want to get into the mix with a bunch of liars in the republican party. and a lot of them are true nazi’s. taking away my rights to my own body and i went to war. what did trump do he ran away like the loser he is and was in 1966. coward trump. danielle says december 15, 2022 at 2:28 pm donald trump was not the greatest president in recent history. i thought perhaps this comment was written a few years ago, but it was written a month ago! it is pretty hard to take anything you say seriously after a remark like that with all the massive evidence to the contrary! herschel dough head walker says december 20, 2022 at 9:47 am keep drinking the kool aid, look at what trump did while president and none of it was for the working folk , trump hates the working class he calls them losers, the tax cuts were for the rich,he tossed pocket change at the working class while trump cut the tax burdon for the rich, some who got an extra $200 back in taxes can spend that in a day while the rick like the walmart got millions they used that to back back walmart stock, he didn’t finish the wall,and the mexicans find it to easy to get around, scott says january 7, 2023 at 2:53 pm well. said! anonymous says january 8, 2023 at 9:09 pm

old daughter phoebe please advise john mcwilliams says december 11, 2022 at 7:01 pm one sad misinformed soul. i pray for your soul. you need to remove your head from the msm s a $$. john brian mclean

conservative republican. i will be ashamed to sit with you! get your acts totter and go with those radical leftists and you will appreciate more and whining less. btw, the democrats killed jfk like they killed abraham lincoln. wendy says september 26, 2022 at 4:54 pm now that tfg will be going to prison do you want to take all this garbage back? i bet you do. you pill giver says september 28, 2022 at 4:03 pm how can you survive with so few brain cells? ..like the sheer fact that you think people are going to jail just shows me how delusional you are! do you know how many r’s & d’s have committed actual crimes but haven’t seen the inside of a prison? even to tour a new facility! go do some research you retard and stop making this country suck balls because npc’s like you are so ignorant sick of the repturds says october 13, 2022 at 8:50 am dems hate trumpistas, not america! you trumpistas are the ones who hate, you are miserable, hating people and totally unpleasant to be around. you’ve filled your empty brains with so much trumpy garbage, there’s no room for reality. there aren’t enough shrinks in the world to deal with the amount of mental illness in the repturd party. you all need to leave   go to russia your beloved entity and sink with putin. jan lloyd says october 20, 2022 at 6:15 am we are the only country that has killed its own citizens in a farce and tragedy that is still killing people because of the asbestos released that day. 9/11/2001, and did it just to go to war with other countries for their oil and to make money for the 0ne percent that own 90 percent of the wealth. the right wing christians that have so little to do with christianity are the worse threat to the constitution that has ever existed. we are a country based on religious freedom and we are supposed to separate church and state. benjamin morgan says october 22, 2022 at 1:34 pm complete unity, or all the wants for the right or the left, would be great. but every person in america has their own life, wants, needs and feelings about religion and unity and the about others. that’s why our country can’t just turn into one person and we have to think of and respect every person’s wants, needs, and feelings educated, uneducated or just living in one person’s life and not everyone’s life. anonymous says october 31, 2022 at 9:14 pm dfs vb says november 2, 2022 at 5:12 pm

democrats that really caused all of these problems today for our country, since they’re without a doubt the most dumbest people on our planet in to begin with. they should never ever allow those real pathetic fools to vote in the first place, and they really should be held accountable for all of these problems we have now. especially the ones that voted for bozo the clown biden. southern liberal says november 26, 2022 at 2:46 pm “your an idiot” lmao jim says november 11, 2022 at 9:26 am funny you demonrats are the ones who start 💩 constantly. which actually means you are the ones who are hateful and intolerant. john q publlic says november 21, 2022 at 6:34 pm demonrats? what is this? 7th grade? i’m a lifelong conservative. i’ve held public office, led military divisions, served in the civil service at federal and state levels and taught and taught high school history. buddy, let me tell you, the regressive, reductive, stereotypical name calling that most undereducated, uniformed “republicans” engage in is exactly per strategy. what strategy? this one: welcome to the rat maze. you’ve won. don brusk says november 12, 2022 at 12:13 am sorry your lying america witnessed 4 years of democrat riots, a fabricated russia hoax, 2 sham impeachments and embracing covid hoping to hurt trump. now more americans are dying fro, bidens fentanyl pouring in the usa at insane levels and the cartels are so grateful making billions more daily because of scum bag biden. biden even funded putin war while destroying the usas energy independence brought to us by trump as biden will by oil from putin and terrorists verse drilling more us oil. hitler was inspired by the democrat party and there jim crow laws making him so emboldened. democrats are the deadliest terrorist organization america has ever seen. congrats you must be proud anonymous says november 29, 2022 at 8:06 am you need to get an education. hitler was a fascist   right wing extremism. my father who faught in ww2 is turning over in his grave to listen to your agrieved non accomplished idiot trumpsters. it’s amazing how all you can do is name call dems but have zero accomishments or policies to list for your corporate crony king trump who sucks up to dictators and believe a complete idiot who tells you to inject bleach and makes comments like, ‘we have big numbers we have small numbers we have perfect numbers like the phone call’. like typical republicans, you can’t keep your hands, your germs, or your opinions to yourselves. even henry the 8th knew to quarantine during the bubonic plague but 400 yrs later and you idiots are crying, ‘i want my beer and chicken wings’. name one thing good trump or reagan ever dod for this country as you can’t even vote for the violence against women act, ratify the era, and voted down every single piece of legislation for our veterans. the pilgrims came here to escape catholicism that’s why there were no vatholic presidents until jfk. get out of our country, you aren’t welcome here with your fascist beliefs. ricky sandefur says december 12, 2022 at 9:21 am you are a terrible ignorant maga and needs serious mental help! your leader is a fascist maniac idiot. yet you people continue to support this crap. when are you going to realize you lost so shut up and sit down, the country has no more time for you or your man baby in diapers. eric says december 25, 2022 at 9:00 am dems hate america. if they loved america they would have protected our border. not sent billions to ukraine. if they loved america they would have stopped with covid mandates. if they loved america they wouldn’t have come up with a russia collusion hoax. they wouldn’t have spent countless millions trying to investigate trump on made up charges. if they loved america they would have built the wall and have election integrity they would want id’s for voting everywhere. if they loved america they would keep working on all of our pipelines and not relying on foreign oil. if they loved america and wanted to be climate activists they wouldn’t just throw america under the bus. they would call out the world’s biggest polluters like china and india. if they loved america they would have executed a plan to safely withdraw from afghanistan and not leave people and billions of dollars worth of military equipment behind for the taliban. so when you start calling trump supporters stupid, and hating america make sure you have supporting evidence, not your fragile little feelings and your wrong conclusions. because when you look at actions, the evidence is clear as day. but why would you look at actions, just keep voting for idiot democrats that hate america. good day. syb says october 30, 2022 at 1:01 pm your vulgar language is merely a reflection of your intelligence. athea

anonymous says october 17, 2022 at 8:46 pm the left loves america it just dislikes rampant stupidity, liars, and those that that believe god is not for the truth. ya’ll turning christianity into a bad name and making the flag representative of the those too stupid to know what’s true or not. ozzie o says october 31, 2022 at 7:40 am you took the words right out of my mouth sue says november 6, 2022 at 10:29 am so you worship a whoring man who grabs women pussies, and cheat, lies, keep top secret documents in his house. shame on you. shame. jim says november 29, 2022 at 1:04 am why are you bringing up clinton? or did you mean jfk or rfk? that’s really not a stretch. anonymous says december 3, 2022 at 12:36 am president clinton kept top secret documents at his hotel? don brus says november 12, 2022 at 12:20 am really ? then why did democrats fabricate the phony russia hoax to go after trump ? while we literally can watch biden say they will not give ukraine a billion dollars unless they fire a prosecutor investigating his son hunters corruption !!! why did americans watch 4 years of deadly democrat riots on tv every night ? the obsessive hatred ,lies and corruption the democrats and media engage in make them the greatest threat to the usa and democracy. democrats are so deep in there cult they have lost all perception of reality dems need enemas. says december 9, 2022 at 4:56 pm it is no wonder we can’t agree. i think this country should split up. flyover will take the middle ground. east and west coast can take their crapholes. we will all be happy! starve, freeze to death, and get vaxed, just leave flyover the fk alone! take all of the lefties with you! anonymous says december 12, 2022 at 10:01 am just leave texas alone. monick adda says october 27,

people won’t associate them with marxism. carly deville says november 7, 2022 at 5:25 am wow , there are so many racist and uneducated comments from this woman of color i can tell she’s been told so many fear mongering divisive lies she can never be educated enough to see the real picture. god bless you honey! i hope you can let go of that hate and anger . btw jewish is considered its own race and many white men and women including americans died to save them in wwii. get ready though they may be the ones planning depopulation ala the georgia guide stones.. plenty of black on black violence and reverse discrimination and africans made slaves of sicilian s once upon a time so can we let it go and as a species of humans agree we need to do better ? if not we will all see each other

problem today. ralph reviello says september 29, 2022 at 9:52 am trump was a demagogue twice impeached, lost the popular vote to hillary clinton, lost in a landslide to joe biden. tax breaks for corporate america and the 10% almost made us his seventh bankruptcy. he did absolutely nothing but golf his whole presidency and put his entire family on the payroll. he’s in investigations with his taxes in new york state, in front of congress for his inciting of an insurrection on january6th , georgia governor turn them in for brow beating and coercing trying to get 1130 v, and don’t forget down there in swampy lago espionage, for taking classify top secret information. anybody still on the trump train after january 6 is a southern confederate flag flying racist. we’re sick of the boogaloo’s, the proud boys, qanon, the old keeper cult45. rjr vote blue make america copacetic vote red like donald trump said, they’ll be bloodshed. that is if he’s indicted. and he will be indicted. anonymous says september 27, 2022 at 10:42 am biden and democrats are following demonic spirits . biden follows satan’s ways not god’s way. i wouldn’t want to be in biden or any democrats shoes on the final day of judgement and it’s coming soon. heaven or hell… it’s our choice. i choose jesus and heaven. anonymous says october 2, 2022 at 12:16 pm you’re really choosing god, a made up thing, that doesn’t exist, over not have the country fall apart due to trump. let me guess, ou think women shouldn’t get abortions, gay people should die, and trans people are horrible? anonymous says october 10,

12:29 am were you one of the “christians ” worshipping next to the golden trump idol? no christian repub saw the irony there? i’d say you’re the one blinded by satan. i haven’t seen anyone yet worshipping a golden statue of biden. i really do not understand the amount of trump supporters that are totally blinded by trump. anonymous says november 26, 2022 at 2:53 pm honey, if there was a god, he wouldn’t want anything to do with trump. and shame on anyone who calls themselves a christian yet supports all that he “stands” for. good luck with all that. bw says may 23, 2023 at 5:24 pm anonymous, god and jesus are very severely mentally retarded to begin with. which is why we have all this corrupted garbage liberals today. and a real god and jesus wouldn’t had let this happen in the first place. patricia gaylene hoeper brown says october 6, 2022 at 8:21 am i had no idea thw amount of brain damage that all the toxins in our water had done till rwading that post. please come back mr president trump, we need someone with a brain and that seems to be very hard to find these days. so many idiots in such a small planet. trevin dorner says october 21, 2022 at 11:41 am why do full 80 thousand seat stadiums chant f joe biden but they didn’t chant f donald trump just saying anonymous says october 28, 2022 at 9:37 pm biden was not the right choice. obviously, he’s doing such a great job isn’t he? thousands will freeze to death this winter because of his policies. is your money buying more or less now than it was two years ago? how about the price of fuel now? bang up job he’s done there huh? selling oil reserves to china is a brilliant plan! what a genius. joe biden is a racist, a creep and crooked as a barrel of snakes. you need to learn to read and turn off msnbc. biden has been one of the worst presidents ever! ozzie o says october 31, 2022 at 7:48 am i guess jesus would be real proud of all you republicans if january the 6th don’t tell you i don’t know what

your prices i want americans to pay sure that’s what he did why don’t you tell the real truth the rich people are raising the prices on us and reminisce a new butthole if you catch what i’m saying yeah you need to look at who’s really raising the prices it’s not the president it’s the greedy rich the rich are getting richer and the poor getting poor and they going to try to screw us so the poor people better stand up to all these rich people including all the products that you buy that they’re screwing us on they made a profit they made a profit during all this what does that tell you probably for some of you probably don’t tell you too much and i’m surprised it tells me anything cuz i’m i’m so uneducated i curse and i the way i talk i’m so uneducated whatever duh so much truth there. says november 3, 2022 at 6:25 am anonymous, you nailed it perfectly on the head. not to mention that low life loser old bag sleepy joe the crook biden is really responsible for so many lives that have been lost as well. the war in ukraine with russia with thousands of lives lost there, out of control crime, high gas prices, the afghan problem where service men lost their lives. and he keeps doing us more damage with each passing day. time for that corrupted scumbag to be impeached, asap. and the other brainless fools that voted for him should really be held accountable as well for this whole mess today that should’ve never happened in the first place. trump would’ve never let this happen at all. trump was our real best president that we ever had. maga vote republican. trump in 2024. anonymous says november 7, 2022 at 2:33 am oh my god, you really are a sad little delusional person. biden is responsible for people dying in ukraine? wake up, you sad little stupid person … that would be putin, you uninformed twat. jean miller says september 27, 2022 at 5:57 am trump was the worst president ever, he is even the worst former president ever, when he was voted out people in america celebrated in the street for days mad as hell and im not taking it anymore says october 5, 2022 at 12:04 pm maybe your rich but poor people feel the hurt demigods and biden has put on our country. maybe you thought masks actually worked to. no wars were being waged as now. people could afford food. criminals stayed in jail. i could go on. im sure your for killing babies that are born too. why dont you stop watching cnn and actually look for real numbers and facts. your making the usa into a 3rd world country and your future family will suffer. i agree with you says october 11, 2022 at 10:28 am mad as hell and im not taking it anymore, you hit the nail right on the head, and those people have very severe brain damage as it is too. anonymous says november 7, 2022 at 2:43 am

hell with satan where you belong. anonymous says october 7, 2022 at 10:55 pm really the first president in how long that wanted to put our country first keep illegals out crack down on people abusing welfare bring jobs back to america. he was his worst enemy not you idiots and that election like most was decided before it ever happened. trump as a person maybe you don’t like especially a lot of women understandably but i don’t vote for personality i vote for stance and results no my daughter wouldn’t be allowed to have any chance at 1 on 1 time that’s besides the point. name a policy that made him the worst president you can’t you get your false news like most americans do and believe everything your friends or cnn or most of the major tv news tell you. i love my country and when so many people said they would leave if trump was elected i figured they wouldn’t and that was quite a shame. take a look at how most of your big democratic cities are doing right now don’t take anyones word for it research it. the whole system in my opinion is off it’s always seeming to be lesser of the evil but in my opinion democrats and republicans haven’t helped out the citizens   environment or infrastructure nearly as much as they should have it’s all back to the $ here’s a topic no one brings up overpopulated me says october 26, 2022 at 10:11 am trump’s, amazing! best thing to ever step in the whitehouse! and i’m a female! i know a lot of females that love him. i’d trust him with my life! jj says october 27, 2022 at 12:59 pm tell me honestly if you calling other peoples immigrants you should call yourself immigrants too no one from america specially you white peoples you come here and kill all the natives indian for their country and you got some nerves calling other’s immigrants at list we foreigners did not kill the indian for their home so what’s give you the right to call anyone immigrants oh i forgot all of you white peoples are mentally sick ozzie o says october 31, 2022 at 8:03 am see that’s our problem you immediately made it all the white people well i’m white and i don’t feel that way and i really don’t like you put me in that place any more than black people like

this world the way it is why do you hate me i did not do anything to you i don’t hate you black people look at me i’ve worked in an almost predominantly black bar at one time and they all treated me

disillusioned with america quit blaming white people take responsibility there’s good people there’s white people what is your problem you’re the problem you’re a hater because you don’t see why people as summer good and some are bad just like you black people i love everybody the mexicans the immigrants yes i’m an immigrant you’re an immigrant we are all immigrants we should all be equal under god’s eyes and i say god i don’t like to use religion because everybody else uses religions as their excuse to say bad things about people it’s wrong and if there is truly a god i like to believe there is he must be the rain must be his tears coming down on us that’s all i got to say for right now i better go watch me a funny movie so i get all this off of my back try some love hug a white person one that you think’s all right you might find that they’re just like your black friends have you ever had a white friend i’ve got black and white friends i love them all i’ve got gay people you know i love them they have brother i had a gay uncle i love them just the same and don’t make no difference to me gay bisexual that’s for god to judge and if they if they ain’t sitting in front of you doing something why do you care go back in your house don’t worry about other people’s sexual orientations and stuff if you don’t like it go somewhere everybody has a right to live their

yourself? anyone who loves trump a blatant pedophile, a criminal who stole money from charity …a dumb ignorant a parasite a cancer, is worthless of a reply but there you go, as your stupidity and imbecility makes me reply to you sarah says december 12, 2022 at 11:00 pm you are sadly beyond ignorant!! mike says october 12, 2022 at 9:51 am just another psychopath reflection. fact is repubs are the ones trying to cheat the electorial system. it is the republicans that permit lies about our country and democrats prevail. it is the republicans that are racist and homophobic. it is th repubs that profess they are religious. read the ten commandments. republicans justify their own path and not the true path of jesus christ. republicans have to chose trump or god. cristians can’t praise both. pretty obvious what capital sin the republicans chose. it is the republicans that are tearing down the fabric of our democracy. narcissism and psychopathic reflections dominated the republican party. todays republican party are traitors of the democratic way of life. the biggest of all cons is trump. sasha says october 12, 2022 at 1:37 pm need a cookie? mickey logue says october 24, 2022 at 9:05 pm you are one of the hateful republicans who probably call yourself a christian’! you hate the people that do not agree with you and trump has brought the worst out of you . maybe you were enjoying the capital police who were killed or hurt ! maybe you want a putin type leader that will kill anyone who goes against him . so don’t worry the way you guys are destroying american with your hate it will happen. sooner than later . i just pray for you to turn you heart around and think about how jesus loved everyone no matter who or what they were !!! ldub says october 27, 2022 at 3:36 pm only an idiot would state there is a difference in agenda between the two parties. they’re all self serving parasites. and the only god they worship is money. i am so tired of hearing republican this and democrat that. none of those people represent the people of this country. ann says november 1, 2022 at 1:12 pm are your parents siblings? julie taylor says september 12, 2022 at 11:20 am hello my name is julie from colorado usa . i want to tell the world about the great and mighty spell caster called dr uwaifo my husband was cheating on me and no longer committed to me and our kids, when i asked him what the problem was he told me he has no love for me and wanted a divorce i was so heart broken i cried all day and night but he left home. i was looking for something online when i saw an article about how the great and powerful dr uwaifo has helped so many in similar situations like mine. his email address was there so i sent him an email telling him about my problem. he told me my husband shall return back to me within 24 hours. i did everything he asked me to do the next day. to my greatest surprise my husband came back home and was crying and begging me to forgive him and accept him back. this was the great work dr uwaifo did for me and my kids. contact his website: https: // druwaifospelltempl.wixsite. com/my  site 1 anonymous says september 13, 2022 at 12:46 am you kiss the southern end of the cow when the cow goes north. common sense says july 11, 2022 at 1:44 pm democracy was designed to protect the rights of all the people. not everyone can agree on everything, so if you don’t like a law, think about whom it protects. trump was not the beginning of the destruction of decency & conservatism in the gop, it is a long game the greedy oppressors of people have been playing since nixon; reaganomics was the attack on the working people, gop knew it would take decades for it to catch up to affecting the middle class & by then they could have convinced enough people to hate anyone that doesn’t think like them or look like them, it’s called divide & conquer. that is how fascists take over. just because someone believes differently than you doesn’t make them an idiot   ignorant perhaps   but not an idiot. an idiot is someone who refuses to accept facts, even though they have access to them, & votes against their own best interests & the interests of a democratic republic. the real enemies of this country are the extremely wealthy & the monopolized corporations who have purchased the votes of our elected representatives. we must get our representatives to represent we the people, not the corporations who are destroying our lives. neither party is free of criminals, however the greedy oppressors of people have shown that they shun the honest politicians in favor of attacking the rights of the american people. why isn’t anything getting done in the senate; like protecting our voting rights? easy   the obstructionist mitch, his 49 lockstep oppressors & 2 bought off senators. in november vote independent, or democrat, but please for the sake of humanity do not vote for any of the trumpublicans   they want to take all your rights away. most americans want the same thing, the right to life liberty & the pursuit of happiness .is it too much to ask?! john says july 20, 2022 at 9:13 am i don t care what you say. ive lived under my carter to biden and im telling you that under reagan and trump we saw more prosperity by all. im a very poor white guy, and always have been. ive been up a little better at times, but those times were under a conservative admin. i was in the poor house with carter and obama the worst till biden came along, now im really sunk. 5 dollar a gal gasoline, buying less food (if you can find it) costing 25 dollars more a week, my meds have went thru the roof. you said something i really want to say something about, conservative christian, that is what our forefathers built thi country on. god tells us plainly, a nation that forgets him/god, that nation will be turned into hell. you may not beleive that, but it makes it no less true. when this country was 85 90% christian we were in good shape, the 20s came along people went wild, then the depression. people returned to the church things got better. the 60s came along then viet nam happened we got carter and things went to hell again. people returned to the church for the most part reagan came along things got better. carter came along things sunk again. the bush boys and clinton it just was middle of the road. obama came along things sunk way down trump came along things got better than i remember. people got their pockets fairly in shape and disregarded god again and we got biden, now look where we are. consrrvative christian works. it has all thru history. look at the roman empire for example why did it fall?? it legalized homosexuality and anything vile. same with sodom and gamorrah. the greecian empire and so on. god is long suffering but his patience will run out, i think we as a nation have went over the limit this time. just yesterday they voted to codify homosexual marriage in all 50 states, that just endrd any hope we had with god, we will be turned into hell. sorry if this was harsh, but god is real and he will not be mocked. rich says july 29, 2022 at 7:38 am time for your medication, buddy. steve says august 9, 2022 at 4:33 am time for a civil war in this country. anyone professing to be christian is now hated in america and god will not be forgotten or mocked (like you). go ahead and laugh at christians but you know where your going! what says august 28, 2022 at 4:00 pm if you are so christian then quit accepting money from the ‘trump organization! you are not keeping america safe and you are working your hardest to tie the hand of the democrats and the middle class! and oh by the way a really honest gal in m green, she is nothing but a liar and cheat to fill her own pockets and yes take it away from some of you who are clamoring to be whoever the h you can be without skills and decent knowledge, just a bunch of loud mouth slimy limes! 👎👎👎👎down to all you crazy nuts!! can’t hold a candle to joe biden tym tucker says september 13, 2022 at 2:34 pm it is time. time to put you where you belong. this country will progress into the future with or without you. i prefer the latter. you are mocking god every time you pass an opportunity to denounce trump and the right. we know where you are going. larry moskowitz says september 23, 2022 at 9:15 pm “steve” , we know who you are, where you live and all the things you have said are catalogued for the fbi. clean up you apartment, steve, we are only 3 minutes out, with a warrant. annabelle vasser says october 2, 2022 at 10:13 am steve if you are indeed a christian you should love your neighbour (the left) as you love yourself, if you dont then you are not a christian simply a pretended phony christian. clear and simple. steven says october 2, 2022 at 7:54 pm confederates lost in the civil war. nazis lost in world war ii. trump lost in 2020. get a grip, buddy. america under attack by freeloaders says august 31, 2022 at 11:28 am freeloading on other people does not make people worth anything but to be called a freeloader.. mess with their freeloading and we get posts just like the ones screaming the loudest on this thread.. dude you are the on a ton of drugs. john says september 7, 2022 at 6:41 pm the guy is right. you need god more than him absolutely true says september 24, 2022 at 6:04 am john, even god can’t help those people at all. especially the very brainless ones that voted for old bag sleepy joe. just look at the mess we’re in now because of them. ra says september 7, 2022 at 8:20 pm rich, you are a colossal ignoramus, doomed to eternal separation from god. you are going to get your wish: no jesus and repentance. jusy says october 26, 2022 at 12:01 am don’t be too quick to judge others lest you be judged. this is how i know who is of god; the gift of discernent. also, romans 12:2 says we are not to be transformed by others. do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of god, what is good and acceptable and perfect. i’m guessing one could read thru these comments & identify true christians. may your confusion be lifted by trusting fully in god. prayers jim, says september 21, 2022 at 9:39 am do you not have eyes look at biden james eric slone says december 5, 2022 at 10:00 pm tell me what you really think anonymous says august 1, 2022 at 7:02 pm amen and amen again to everything you said anonymous says august 2, 2022 at 2:54 am i found your statement, “conservative christian works. it has all through history”. american conservative christianity began in the 1940’s.. american manufacturing and religious institutions cooperated to create corporate america. nixon opened up trade relations with china. after that, the cheap labor was too profitable for american manufacturing to bypass, so we sent our manufacturing to china. “between 2000 and 2010, nearly six million jobs in us manufacturing were lost, with the sectors most prone to globalization displacement, such as textiles and furniture, taking the biggest hit. eight years of bush and two years of obama before that was reduced. conservative christianity loves capitalism. i don’t mind capitalism. but the church shouldn’t be so money oriented. corporate american is all about power and greed. kat says august 3, 2022 at 9:35 pm how do you just ignore all the evil trump has done, he tried to overthrow our government so he can be like putin & kim jun. wake up, he’s got you in his cult for sure steve says august 9, 2022 at 4:39 am there is your problem, you hate trump so bad that you forget that he is not a politician, which is why i voted for him. anybody who does not think like you do is now hating on the very people who do not hate you but love america. unfortunately you have no love or forgiveness in your hearts! d says august 9, 2022 at 7:05 pm that’s the problem with the democrat party, especially their leadership. they hate trump more than they love america. i voted for trump because he wasn’t a politician and he already had what most politicians wanted. money…..lots of it. he also realized what would happened if a democrat was elected president. exactly what is happening now. open borders, government debt out the roof, immorality like we’ve never seen before, the destruction of america by those that hate god. and war. people don’t realize what trump did for america in only 4 years with democrats and mainstream media at his heels even before he was elected. death threats by members of the democrat leadership which the media downplayed as nothing. and lies that turned out to be just that. lies and more lies. now that we do have a democrat in the white house all he predicted has come true. i don’t recognize america anymore. do you? elvis says august 15, 2022 at 1:27 pm like all snowflakes who have dangerous capacity to hate and therefor are logic intolerant, trump have never been convicted of a crime to this point. so go melt on th the facts stupid hater ! ben says august 19, 2022 at 8:55 am ha ha. what a defense! trump has never been convicted of a crime to this point. you couldn’t make this stuff up, what a bunch of idiots! from believing that obama was born in kenya to believing whatever the grifter from new york tells them about the election   these are the dumbest, most despicable, deplorables this country has ever seen, go do whatever fox news and your orange hero tells you to! you aren’t deserving of hate   just pity. jay says september 1, 2022 at 6:45 pm ben your dumb brian says august 16, 2022 at 3:04 am what evil? if trump did anything illegal, he would be in jail already. things were so much better under trump than under this clown in office that is doing his best to destroy our economy. fact is says august 19, 2022 at 2:20 pm biden the old bag is very mentally disturbed to begin with, which it is time for that clown to be impeached immediately before he does more damage to us. speaking for america says august 31, 2022 at 11:21 am you are totally ignorant, dude. you don’t know the first thing about “common sense.” you are one lying piece of trash.. did some middle eastern jerk write your post for you???? democrats have nearly destroyed our country already, you beast.. richie you need a board across you stupid head. your meds ran out a long time ago. another loser piping up. jealousy is not pretty. the demon crats overturned the election. president trump won by thousands of votes. you people are so easily fooled and even glory in your stupidity. biden has never spoken the truth in his entire life. if he is so great why did none of you show up even once for his so called rallies when they had to speak to a few cars in the lot?????? explain that, dimwits. louis says october 3, 2022 at 8:15 am all his people told him he lost, all his lawsuits failed in court. gave the wealthy a huge tax break and i had to pay more taxes and i’m disabled. he’s been lieing and cheating his entire life and if he didn’t have daddy’s money we’d never have heard of him. all his ventures primarily failed. if you look up people magazine interview he states he would get into politics as a republican because the people are stupid, his words not mine. i’m a conservative american and can’t believe anything he says. people from his own administration said he can’t be trusted, yet some people think he’s the greatest. god didn’t pick this guy and if you believe he did you should read the bible again. democrats aren’t demons and republicans aren’t right, we are all human beings who forgot who we are and can’t love our neighbors who don’t think the way we want so we must call people names and insult them. careful what you wish for because our democracy is fragile and i promise you that a dictatorship is certainly not what we need. we used to be able to solve problems with debate not with threats and hatred. remember truth, justice and the american way! take a long look in the mirror before writing hateful and threatening things to people you don’t have any clue about who they are that not how it’s supposed to work and remember right is right and wrong is wrong there’s no middle ground. god bless america and everyone in it. anonymous says september 1, 2022 at 6:41 pm your dumb anonymous says october 7, 2022 at 11:07 pm pms over throw our country your funny from where a democratic city perhaps? vote like mommy and daddy i understand it is easier than thinking but remember a people divided are easier to control and fluoride in our water why? teeth no that would be false there is no good reason but hitler had a good reason he wanted to control the people of germany and it seemed to work pretty good. malcolm x was right the media is the most dangerous weapon it can make hate the people you love and love the people you shouldn’t david says august 10, 2022 at 5:20 pm when trump wins in 24 my biggest enjoyment will be the shame on bidens old face. the shame, the mortification, the embarrassment of what he did or couldn’t do. so no, to all you illiterate haters, enjoy what’s coming. i’ll be so glad to see president trump back to correct things. kino says august 28, 2022 at 4:35 pm just wait as he fires anyone who doesn’t fall into lockstep with his ego… as he fires generals from his cabinet   he kept people as “acting___” so he could dispense with them as needed to worship him. you think democrats hate trump more than they love america? why would that be? what would make them hate him? it’s not because he pretends to be republican or christian. it’s because he is a dangerous narcissist. nobody like that should ever hold office, esp the presidency. his immaturity alone should exclude him from anyone wanting him in office. he has shown repeatedly his interest is *himself,* not america. he is also an unbelievable pathological liar. find out why the non gerrymandered majority of americans wanted him out. seriously. there is so so so so much that it would fill several books, and all of it is documented. trump is the blight that will take down the us. if the gop truly cares about america, they will put forward a candidate that is a true republican in values and leadership style, i.e., not dicatator wannabe and not one that infringes on the civil rights of americans (read: using military to attack peaceful protesters, concertedly working to overturn out election even after 67 cases defeated in courts, and the list goes on). i can’t wait until the ignorant and idiotic and uneducated are shown just how idiotic they have been about grifter trump. jay says september 1, 2022 at 6:49 pm they don’t like trump cause he exposed the swamp and all the government bullshit wake the fuck up anonymous says august 11, 2022 at 4:49 pm amen joshua says august 23, 2022 at 9:00 pm you don’t understand. if people don’t believe in god, then they don’t believe in hell. you live in fear and paranoia and you worship imaginary friends. we do laugh at christians, but we don’t hate you. that’s the type of thing fox news tells you over and over because they’re fearmongers. you’re a traitor if you want civil war. speaking for america says august 31, 2022 at 11:23 am the hate spews from your devilish lies.. you people are so gullible it is getting very tiresome,. tim says august 27, 2022 at 9:06 am i am in the lower middle class and worked 45 years under both rep and dem but most froth i saw was while dem held the office of president. when clinton and obama are in office. most of my retirement was gained during the clinton administration. after obama fixed george bush’s nightmare defaults of housing by 2012 my money was gaining again. i lost a lot of money during george bush junior was in office. i did gain money while trump was in office but it only was because obama got it started. jeffrey says august 27, 2022 at 8:40 pm well said my friend, who cares if it ruffles the feathers of progressive moonbats and the biden supporter sheep that have no clue what rights are. anonymous says august 29, 2022 at 11:27 am my brother in law, thought that he was making and saving more too. then i told him that the tax cut was for people making more than 400,000 a year. it’s not true, you’re just pathetic. teri says september 6, 2022 at 9:04 pm well said 👏👏 leaders who advocate and legalize sin ut is the deterioration of a moral society and destruction of civilization and this is what we are witnessing more then ever.and aligns with what you are talking about….sadly there are those who are so filled with hate and have been decieved they cant see past their noses this can all be explained jn romans 1:20 28 linda mcfarland says september 9, 2022 at 2:50 am amen! you speak the truth! in the bible it says, “god will turn us over to our enemies “. this country looks like sodom and gomorrah, ruled by satan! democrats fight for every sinful thing that goes against gods commandments. nothing will get better until people repent from their evilness and return to god!!! look at our country!!! it has never been in worse condition! democrats want the freedom to kill innocent babies, homosexual marriage, now the government has opened our borders to allow drug dealers, human traffickers, terrorist, and they have more rites than american citizens! whose taking care of their every need??? we are! biden is on a mission to destroy this country, how can people be so blind?!? or, are they just evil? this new “woke” agenda is like the serpent that told eve to go against god’s command not to eat the fruit, convinced her that if she ate the fruit she would be just like god! then she convinced adam to eat the fruit as well! look what happened to them!!! that’s what’s happening here now!!! you “woke people” are being lead astray!!! your not awake, you are being brainwashed by an evil government!!! marlon sabias says september 28, 2022 at 8:58 am trump had his faults but i believe he is one of the best presidents we have ever had in the united states of america! obama and hillary clinton should be in prison for many things! biden has been going after trump since he got in office that’s the only thing he has managed to accomplish is try to get trump not to vote or not to be able to run for our presidency i believe the united states is on the verge of a revolution! what president in history ever ran for office on his own dime? trump might not be perfect but i’m a disabled american that’s paying five dollars for gas and can’t afford food to feed his daughter! that is a fucking shame! southernliberal says november 26, 2022 at 3:29 pm the current and past presidential administrations are not responsible for your windfalls or poor life choices. i’m sure you miscategorize many or both in your past, to support your misinformed argument. why does it often seem the poorest americans that insist on voting against their own best interests? do yourself a favor, and watch something besides fox news. doesn’t have to be cnn or msnbc. i’ll admit they are inversely biased. try reuters or npr, hell even bbc. good luck with the homophobia and racism and everything. i hope you eventually grow away it. you’d be glad you did. stevehenry1 says july 20, 2022 at 11:24 am you hit the nail on the head. our gop driven corrupted supreme court have legalized bribery with citizen united. the 1 percent and monopolistic corporate interests have no fear of the law. jan 6 was intended to eliminate democracy for the 99 percent. and it’s goal was the same as germany’s reichstag fire, which hitler used to eliminate their congress and seize the whole government. jan 6 almost succeeded. remember trump was considering martial law, just like hitler. people who fail to learn from history ,……………. anonymous says july 30, 2022 at 10:32 pm total biased uneducated nonsense. coco says august 18, 2022 at 11:33 am on the contrary, totaly real, being in denial cant help you buck fiden says august 22, 2022 at 4:48 am love it when some libtard with 23 credit hrs at a juco starts calling others “uneducated”…. kink says august 28, 2022 at 4:37 pm try again with an actual argument besides “na na na na! you’re wrong and i’m right!” try to read something not faux news related first. anonymous says august 2, 2022 at 10:42 am jan 6 was a protest to demand the corrupt senate republicans to get off of their asses and not allow such blatant rigging of a national election in a small amount of highly populated democrat strongholds in 7 swing states. the entering of the capitol by force was done so by about 6 people, a plan that was created by the fbi and is also why the capitol and dc police stood by and watched as that little fist fight occurred. the capitol police invited the huge crowd of people into the capitol, there is video footage in circulation of one officer walking up to the group of officers blocking people from coming in and talking to them. the officer walking up clearly had orders to invite them all in because that’s exactly what occurred as that officer walked off. do you remember the bomb the fbi found in the capitol? that was going to be used by the fbi to blow up all of the protesters the capitol police invited in, the only problem was the goons the fbi tried to convince to take the capitol by gun didn’t really want to do so thus they had no guns so blowing up the capitol and killing all of those protesters wasn’t going to be believable when blamed on 6 guys fist fighting with capitol police. and this is the reason that bomb the fbi “found” is rarely ever mentioned, didn’t even get a mention for the corrupt j6 committee, why not, it would be great for them right? not exactly, because all of those protesters the fbi rounded up, 700+ people held in prison for two years without trial for charges of trespassing they weren’t even guilty of(when capitol police invite you in you aren’t trespassing), all of those people were identified and tracked by cellphone data. well, there is a video of the man that planted thar bomb walking infront of a city camera talking on his cellphone, yet oddly “the fbi can’t find him, doesn’t even know who he is”. the left has become retarded, this is how the corrupt government is getting away with everything they’ve done in the last 8 years, and they have done a lot, even being caught red hands though it doesn’t really matter because they aren’t ever held accountable. they don’t even mention the bomb, clearly they aren’t on team trump, they are still trying to frame him to this day, yet leftist retards are cheering on the corrupt government, as if the government has political favorism towards either party, there there is only one party in the senate, and with every bill they pass the state gets more and more powerful, by robbing us of privacy and rights, as the democrats clap like seals. when they have all the power, the intelligence agencies(they already spy on and blackmail congress and judges) it will be too late for any of us to do anything to fix this country, though even at this point it’s very unlikely that it will ever be fixed because the intelligence agencies are literally above the law, the head figures, which is why they are never held accountable. anyway, when the leftist retards wake up, when the government becomes tyrannical over all of us, the retards can blame themselves as we kick their legs out from under them in the work camps so they get a good beating from the gaurds. anonymous says september 1, 2022 at 6:53 pm another person with a brain on here not to many of them steve says august 9, 2022 at 4:46 am sorry brother but you have it completely backwards, it is the left leaning socialist party calling themselves democrats with no democracy in mind. they will take us down the road to a new one world government. any christian and yes jewish religion will not be tolerated. watch what the left will usher in the eventual downfall of the usa. jon logue says august 11, 2022 at 1:58 am i am shocked at how stupid people are, stop watching cnn morons its all lies! john says august 1, 2022 at 7:05 pm after all that has happened in the last year and a half in this country i cannot wrap my mind around why anyone would want to vote democrat. joe biden and his administration are the worst in history and i will be glad when they are gone forever anonymous says august 8, 2022 at 4:08 pm what are you talking about, can you give specifics? what has happened in the last year and a half that you want to blame democrats for? all the while ignoring the blatant horrors the trump followers commit daily. jon logue says august 11, 2022 at 2:01 am its actually comical listening to the democratic zombies, learn to think for your self and look around, just open your eyes and look around! anonymous says august 18, 2022 at 11:45 am yeah i guess democrats are responsible for the war in ukraine and covid 19 that caused scarcity of many raw materials creating inflation world wide. i guess democrats are responsible for jan 6th coup and attack of the capitol. i guess democrats are responsible for denying all women from abortion rights. i guess democrats stole thousands of documents top secret to sell them to the saudis (ask donald trump about the 2 billion invested by the saudi in his shady businesses.) i guess the vets bill was reject by democrats, i guess the chips bill to make american chip makers competitive and give create thousands of jobs only passed thanks to republican vote despite the rejection of democrats…. i wonder who has to open his eyes. ignorance, denial, but yeah mtg says that biden is responsible for the 5 dollar price of gas. and of course you believe that dumb lunatic. keep voting for idiots, most probably you deserve them. and your daughter and sisters and nieces will of course thank you. they will pray little jesus at church, and give blessings to trump for stealing americans money and swearing at the devil for not letting him get his bid on the 6th of january coup. go listen to liars like alex jones, and tucker carlson, the most ethical people….. buck fiden says august 22, 2022 at 4:51 am afghanistan. recession. doj going after parents who want a say at school board meetings. that’s just the tip of the iceberg, libtard. anonymous says august 3, 2022 at 5:59 am in your own words you say an idiot is someone who votes against their best interests. who in their right mind votes for democrats knowing that they are going to increase your taxes and decrease your standard of living. that would be voting against your best interest. railrider says august 9, 2022 at 5:43 pm democrats raise your taxes? i guess you didn’t live under ronald regan, who i voted for by the way and he screwed me on taxes when he signed a away the interest deduction on consumer loans, car loans for example. i was a registered republican then and have been since gerald ford and in those days the gop wasn’t the party of jesus. fast forward to 2017 donald trump singed away the tax detection on home mortgage interest and property tax detection, which cost me a $4,000 refund. next year the $10,000 deduction will be phased completely. as for socialism, social security and medicare are socialism and i’ve been working since i was 15 to collect it. you need to pick up a book educate yourself about the “isms” before you comment out of your ass. donald trump isn’t jesus, he’s a fowl month loon, who can’t rise above his crazy bs. a relative of mine, a former cfo of a fortune 100 company and a republican pioneer knew trump when he was a draft dodging opportunist ny democrat hanging out at studio 54. bobthebuilder says august 12, 2022 at 6:37 pm uhhh…what are you talking about??? we got tax deductions for interest paid on home loans. you must be a democrat liar. t says august 9, 2022 at 2:50 pm listen all of you, you know how unhinged this idiot trump is he deserves everything he gets his mouth is bigger than the pacific ocean and he’s a habitual idiot liar and he cannot ever attempt at trying to run for president he is a pug liar wouk’s throw anyone under the bus so get rid of the garbage idiot who is a criminal and should go to jail along with the other dumbasses bobthebuilder says august 12, 2022 at 6:39 pm wah wah wah. state one thing he did that was illegal. sure he runs his mouth, last time i looked, that wasn’t illegal. all you leftists do is whine and bleat about your feelings all the while not providing a single shred of evidence for things you claim he has done illegally. gg says august 14, 2022 at 12:56 pm please at least get alternate news! you are being lied to the government is not on you side!! tom says august 12, 2022 at 9:37 pm you are a communist marxist who wants to destroy america. to say you want a country free from trumpism shows how marxist and racial you are. people like you need to be imprisoned for treason. i hate lying democratic socialistic pigs. gg mcabbe says august 14, 2022 at 12:46 pm i agree with you 90%.. i m a 50f in iowa. no arrests/ work& homeowner. i chose not to have children/overpopulation. raised liberal in my 30s went r. i got the same from both. nothing& more of the same. went independent 15yrs ago. conservative leaning,&willing to hear any ideas. somthing is very different now, the progressive left have gone full marxist. history shows this is not going to end well. i think both parties are corrupt and our government is so overgrown & bloated it’s only goal is it’s own survival. the deep state is the enemy of the people, it will destroy anyone who dares to reign it in. the actions of former president barack obama and secretary of state hillary clinton weponizeing the fbi to frame and persecute opposition to their annihilation of the bill of rights & constitution of the united states of america is the highest of crimes. the fbi has lied to obtain warrants that led to (failed) impeachment, raid& investigation after investigation all ending in nothing. either our entire intelligence community is utterly enept or there is actually nothing. seven long years! nothing!! millions of dollars!! nothing! i have come to the conclusion this is a well coordinated all out effort to destroy trump at any cost. he showed us who they are& that they hate us. yes they do. watch them listen to them, do they always put you first? no. never. if you think they do, get alternate news. all mainstream news is propaganda. remember covid 19? they did it to us. then lied and lied and lied. they shut down any questions at all. why? because it was supposed to kill the sickness, the fatties and the old. dead weight to the liberal new world order.. dont believe me? the playbook is on the world economic forum website. unless your an elite or wealthy it’s probably not good. their motto is “you will own nothing and be happy” the founder “klaus swaub has referred to the world population as “mindless eaters i don’t think that’s good. look the same social disruptions poping up everywhere around the globe. i don’t think that’s trumps fault. as a matter of fact trump is the only president in my life that left the elites and became president of the people. the powerful and wealthy made a plan to destroy him. it came from every direction.. i decided to vote for him, the same old thing same thing was failing us, so i thought let’s try a non political president. i watched as a man who was a popular pop culture figure, was assaulted & assassinated in every conceivable way. he and his family, business associates, employees and voters were demonized, accused of vile things, investigated and more. i have never in my life have done something to malign or hurt another person, these are the types of things that trump& his supporters are being accused of and it’s false. i have never heard or seen donald trump do anything that was racist or mean to other people that wasn’t completely taken out of context and twisted. i have noticed and continue to see the all out hatred that is not hidden by the media for donald trump and anyone associated with him. i know most of our media is owned by a small number of entities some of which are chinese or chinese business partners. i do think this has a large bearing on the hatred of trump and they all out effort to destroy anything trump. i’ve never seen any real evidence that shows anything criminal done by donald trump if i did i would probably change my opinion. they have tried for so long, don’t you think if there was anything they would have found it? i think everyone should ask themselves why all the powers that be left and right were trying so hard, and continue to try so hard to stop donald trump. maybe it’s because he is doing the work of the american people, something the washington establishment are unwilling to do. marlon says september 28, 2022 at 9:52 am so true my friend! if they keep trump from running for president. what a disservice! the rich that voted biden into office don’t realize what they have done! we’ve had our country stripped of its monument. biden has left one the biggest threat to americans and america isis and the taliban! some of the most state of the art weapon tree ever known to man. to use against us when we left afghanistan. why he did not destroy everything our military left behind?? but now iso and the taliban have access to planes bombers helicopters night vision rockets missiles. what a slap in the face to our military men and women that have given and sacrifice so much! i support our police and especially our military. and now biden is going to to try and disarm good working american citizens! does anybody see ! what is really happening in america! or am i the only one? i can say one thing. any law abiding citizen in america. is not going to give up their guns for any reason! i feel sorry for the people that are going to be forced to come and take them. our second amendment was put there for a reason and i will not let it be infringed upon. the only thing that stops a bad person with a gun! is a good person with a gun. i believe. our kids are no longer to say the pledge of allegiance in school. we have a so called president/puppet in office right now! that can’t finish a sentence! and he’s in charge of the nuclear suitcase! lol trump was not politically correct sometimes! but the man truly loved america! and americans! while in office he still managed to accomplish quite a bit. especially the border wall. he ran for office with his own money. that should tell people something in itself.? the only thing biden has try to accomplish! is to make it so donald trump cannot run for president again! any true american that loves life liberty. is fed up with what’s going on here! our government has done nothing to help anyone out except their selves! all this corruption in our government. is coming to ahead! anyone who doesn’t see it. is a fool! kristina says august 19, 2022 at 12:28 pm hmmm what you don’t understand is that the new trump republican party is very different from the old *establishment* republican party. the *establishment* (and this includes democrats) sold us out for their own benefit. they did not stick up for the american people. they did not put america first. trump changed all of that and blue collar workers were seeing improvements in wages. that is because he did the unthinkable, he rewrote trade deals to benefit the american worker. something obama refused or was unable to do. obama one time at a talk told everyone they better get ready for a lower standard of living because of globalism. bush actively pushed globalism and a nwo. trump comes along and shakes up the apple cart. the enemies are not necessarily the rich. the enemies are the deep state who do not care about you and me. the enemies are those that actively work to divide us and cause chaos so they can swoop in and claim power. those are the true enemies. koe says august 19, 2022 at 7:35 pm you rightwing hypocrites need help,i pray you all get the help you need, stupid,hateful and ignorant is know way to go through life. jule says august 21, 2022 at 12:43 pm there is a big problem of all or nothing and so we are getting nothing. talk about greed nd corporate and we see bidens, the whole family and friends, making millions from foreign countries, living lavish lives and pretending to be for people. i was a democrat until the last few years and i am so disgusted, i will never vote democrat again. all public is no good for us but neither is all private. both take advantage of us. i think it has been this way in every country since the beginning of civilization, causing wars and revolutions and still we have not found a way to keep things in the middle balance. why? why is it either the rich rule without equality or the criminal rule as is happening and then some revolution. can’t we get it right? it is not the values of either left or right and no extremes. this is not a sports game where people cheer for colors or mascots with such loyalty even seeing cheating right before their eyes. and then they start to think cheating is the best way. we have a problem and neither left nor right has the solution. anonymous says september 1, 2022 at 6:38 pm your not correct southernliberal says november 26, 2022 at 3:21 pm thank you for the best comment in this entire cesspool. 100% truth. a voice of actual reason amidst all this ignorance and racism. i couldn’t believe it, after i submitted my other comment, when i read my submission was being “held for moderation.” i have a hard time believing this comment section is being moderated at all, what with the sickening racist diatribes i’ve been reading. perhaps the “moderator” went to the musk school of free (hate) speech. do better, fillmore county journal. and ffs, please do better, america. anonymous says april 4, 2023 at 8:56 pm conservatives love america and so do conservatives. the difference is that conservatives think one way is best for americans, while democrats believe in an anarchy. they think sure u can be whatever u want to be gender isn’t based on gender stereotypes then what it gender based on what is truth based on nothing! they believe in subjective truth, which means if their is multiple truths, then that means there is no truth at all because the very definiton of truth means that there is only one truth. but if there is your truth and my truth, that means there is no truth at all. no there is your opinion and my opinion, but that doesn’t mean there is not truth either your opinion is true or my opinion is true(most likely neither of our opinions our true), but we have to accept that. now, i do believe that many liberals believe that this the best for our country, but i also believe that some liberals are against our country, and so are some conservatives. there are good people and bad people on both sides, but in the end, “progression” does not mean the discarding of truth, or the need for truth…change is different from the complete denial of the need for truth as a foundations for any claim. borris johnson says july 11, 2022 at 8:37 am what do you call a bi polar french fagot with an art degree ? the cbc . what do you call a french bipolar fagot with an art degree and a gun ? marc lepine what do you call a bi polar , bi lingual , bi sexual …in a union with a gun and a horse? the rcmp kanaduh eh ..same pile of shit sliced bi directionally … justin h. says july 10, 2022 at 6:16 pm the “left” doesn’t hate america. can you say with absolute certainty that all of us on the left hate america? no. what we hate are illiberal fundamentalist conservative fascist dictators who stomp all over our rights and freedoms on a regular basis and call that ‘defending liberty and freedom’. folks who support erasing the boundaries between church and state, turning us into a totalitarian, right wing fascist christian country, and forcing people to bow to the will of the theocrats or be charged with sedition, or branded as domestic terrorists for defiantly standing up to the loudest, most brutal and ruthless bullies in the world; right wing christian fundamentalist fascists. trump will forever be known for praising dictators, expressing awe and wonder at the possibility of emulating their terrible actions, walking all over civil liberties by sending national guard troops to shut protestors up who are pissed off at the tremendous injustice brought against people of colour like breonna taylor, george floyd, et al., sending in troops to violently quell oppositional protests, attempting to steal the 2020 election like an insufferable 5 year old narcissitic brat, treating women like objects with no regard for their feelings or respect for their bodily autonomy, and the countless thousands of lies told. yet, for some reason only the demented right wing fascists who still support trump understand, those folks will never ever come back down to reality and let go of the trumpist lies that are corroding our bonds as american people. as for american conservatism goes, do you really think it’s based on god fearing christianity? are you frickin serious? cpac had a golden statue of the asshole for crying out loud! people were bowing and praying to it!! you people don’t give a rat’s ass about the bible, so knock off the lies and deceit already and come clean. american conservatism has done nothing but cause death, destruction, misery, poverty, violence, war, famine, hatred of each other, regression into a fundamentalist christian hellhole, stomping on the proverbial necks of the average american people while kissing the asses of millionaires / billionaires and lifelong politicians (democrats do this too; conservatives are in the democrat party as well), and on and on and on. you right wing christian fascists have spawned far right militia groups who are now, thanks to your violent and hateful rhetoric against homosexuals, transgendered people and leftists, armed to the teeth with military grade weaponry, storming peaceful gatherings full of innocent adults and children with the intent to kill, maim, or threaten them!!! if that’s what right wing conservative christians want this country to be, then who in their right mind would ever support these disgusting fascist killers? whipping up unstable killers into a frenzy and getting their blood boiling, ready to attack their own country in a bloody, brutal civil war is not a christian value… oh wait; actually if you read the bible there’s a lot of that stuff in there… you fools are old testament stalwarts, like the snobby, self righteous, hateful and spiritually dead pharisees who sold jesus christ up the river. you theocratic fascists think you’re the salvation of your country, but you’re actually a giant, bloody, pus filled gangrenous wound on the body politic that just plain refuses to heal. not all leftists are marxists, or socialists, or anything. not all right wingers are demented trumpists who fit the descriptions i laid out above, either; it just seems like most of them are thanks to the trumpster fire movement. i’m a leftist and a staunch progressive, but i think marxism is a philosophical example of a peaceful, cooperative society, not something that can be implemented in a free society. there’s not enough checks and balances against corruption (kinda like how america is right now apparently), and it doesn’t work that well in reality. socialism is better, but still (to me anyway) makes more sense as a large part of a mixed economy (say 65% socialism, 35% market capitalism) such as the way ireland, germany, norway, etc. handle their economies. they aren’t socialist countries, but the capitalist market doesn’t have much pull, if any, in politics or non business related areas. we are one of the most corrupt, polluted, backwards, violent, hateful, negative, consumerist, wasteful, depraved, inhumane, bigoted, greedy, despicable, fascistic, unbalanced, ignorant countries in the world, and most of the blame for that can be laid squarely at the feet of the right wingers in our country and those who support them. sure there are some folks like that on the left, and there are folks that aren’t like that on the right, but they are the exception to the rule it seems. you traitors want to try to turn this country in to the christian taliban and instill a big government that tells women what they can and cannot do with their own bodies, or anyone for that matter, dictates what books kids (and adults) can and cannot read, forcibly demand that public schools toe the line and burn any banned books on your banned books lists, tell people that they can’t smoke a medicinal herb that has been around since the dawn of mankind, and in the same damn conversation tell us how patriotic you are and how much you loooove freedom, screeching about individual liberties and state’s rights (whatever that means), and how much you can’t stand the big evil government telling us what to do! you’re the biggest group of deranged, delusional hypocrites this world has ever seen, so sit down and shut up. your ideas belong in the 16th century, just like your miserable excuse for a political party. if you want to raise the 4th reich, do it somewhere else. get the hell out of america and leave it alone! it’s a free country, as long as the gqp doesn’t run it. we want a free, secular, open society where everyone can feel like they belong, where we won’t have to worry about a bunch of greedy fascists trying to tell us how to run our lives, and can vote freely and have our votes count fairly without fear of being bullied or intimidated at the polls, or having their votes go into the memory hole as per the ministry of truth’s instructions… you guys would be much better off in a place like russia or north korea. just leave us the hell alone and build your sickening christian fascist society somewhere else. you folks love hungary’s policies so much and fawn over their dictator viktor orban like tucker carlson does? if so, you don’t belong here anymore; go side with the fascists. america isn’t a fascist country and as long as i have a voice and a vote, i’ll do my part to ensure that it never gets there. we the people are sick of your lies and public policy that leads to death, starvation, misery, injustice, hatred, violence and every other sin / societal ill that your bible has called you to help work against, not promote with your policies. go shove your fake christianity and lies where the sun don’t shine. john says july 16, 2022 at 12:38 pm wonderful. the terminology used and the heart felt beliefs? i thought i was reading my own mind and heart in print. thank you so much. bob says july 31, 2022 at 4:34 pm shame on all of you, and i mean both sides. please read what you have written in this space. i thought republicans were bad for this but dems are far worse in spewing hate all of you need to be dragged out behind the woodshed for a good whooping. there, i said it. ron says august 2, 2022 at 11:41 pm /end rant. tldr. you people are nuts. laurie livingston says july 17, 2022 at 9:56 pm yes! i’ve just watched the”steve bannon idiot special” and am flabbergasted at how much input this disgusting excuse for a human has influenced the destruction of america! he’s a putrid piece of rotten meat filled with maggots with absolutely no redeemable qualities. just shoot him. jimmy shu says july 17, 2022 at 9:59 pm isn’t that special satan. biden does not even know where he is. you democratic idiots voted for this moron. you had the presidency, the house and the senate and you still got zero accomplished. have you seen the price of gasoline and other goods? none of that is trump’s or putin’s fault but you lying scumbags keep insisting that it is. you know who’s fault it is? crooked,lying, compromised with his scumbag son hunter, joe biden. mike c says july 18, 2022 at 11:18 pm what party was dominant in the south and practiced slavery? oh, the democrats. what party inslaved the japanese americans during wwii? that would be the democrats the great franklin roosevelt was a known racist and anti semitic. he was a democrat. socialism is such a wonderful just look at the ruthless castro who left his country living in the 1950’s. look at venezuela, bolivia and now peru in utter ruins thanks to your socialist friends. are you aware that your idol karl marx never worked a day in his life and lived off the system? you link christians and facists together, but fact check and you will see that all facists states denounced religion. i agree with only one thing in you diatribe concerning christians and the wasps meet your criteria of christian facists, they have been ruthless against those outside their small group and are racists lastly, what happened to floyd was a tragedy and that cop deserves to go away for life, but let the legal process rin before you destroy you own neighborhoods and hurt innocent people. they are people bent on destruction and only use these injustices to further their objectives of anarchy. this is a free country and i am a conservative and i respect your views and only hope that you will realize that people on the right are not fanatics just as all leftists are not anarchists anonymous says july 30, 2022 at 5:53 am lol mike is neglecting to mention the party switch in which many racist democrats fled to the republicans. people who claim this is a myth can’t explain how or why white nationalists went from democrats to republicans, they just scream myth. david duke, former grand wizard of the kkk was a democrat and then, for some reason, switched to being a republican. so, despite the democrats being evil and cruel racists, and the republicans being noble beauties who freed the slaves; it seems those kooks in the kkk got their wires crossed and prefer to vote and live in red states. hey there, kkk! come to nyc and be with your brethren! why you guys hanging out with people who free slaves and respect brown folk??? they’ll also point out robert byrd was a democrat and minor member of kkk,but neglect that he left and was eventually recognized by naacp and that david duke endorsed their golden boy, donald. whether donald wanted his endorsement is irrelevant, the point is why endorse donald at all and not apparent kkk heir hillary? probably democrat conspiracy spanning centuries. also, marx worked as an editor and contributor for a newspaper. he was then supported by his wealthier friend to keep producing work, somewhat like an artist with a patron. i also need to point out the us sponsors coups in latin american countries to purposefully destabilize their governments. steve says august 9, 2022 at 5:21 am wow you just made the point. many racist democrats .fled to another party, racist democrats have been running this country for centuries now! gg mcabbe says august 14, 2022 at 1:22 pm switched?? lol no body announced yet railrider says august 10, 2022 at 10:25 am “what party in the south practiced slavery”. your right, they were the dixicrates, they were seditious malcontents then, they where racist trouble makers in the 1960s, the reason i became a republican, and the same hateful racist are republicans now. the dixicrates haven’t changed in 200 years, their just hiding hiding behind a new name, and they aren’t worth the trouble they caused in this country. jeff troiano says july 22, 2022 at 7:41 pm i couldn’t have said it it any better. amen. angelique c says july 25, 2022 at 12:31 am anyone of those cocksucker globalists destroying my country should all drown. anonymous says august 5, 2022 at 11:30 am if america is such an insidious place , why is it still being inundated with migrants , both legal and illegal from every country on earth. ? anonymous says august 7, 2022 at 1:54 am u are right!!! steve says august 9, 2022 at 4:57 am whoa, you got a lot of hate inside you! who spends all that time spewing 11 12 run on paragraphs that has nothing but hate and ridiculous run on sentences? ever hear of condensing your hate into smaller sentences? ps: good luck in hell, oh wait you don’t believe in heaven or hell, kristina says august 19, 2022 at 12:33 pm you are in your own little world. fascism is goverment and corporations to control the people. yes that is happening now but it’s not under republians, it’s under democrats. look at how big tech and the democrats collude to censor anyone critical of them. look at how the medical establishment, together with the democratic party and the deep state collude to push vaxxines on all of us. look at how antifa and blm were able to cause so much damage and death and not get into real trouble at all…why? because of democrats. i think you honestly need help. commiesneed2go says january 27, 2023 at 3:48 pm you don’t know anything about christians. you speak about things you know nothing about. what you lefties do is make claims of christians being hateful for following their religion. for god so loved the world he gave his only begotten son. yeah so hateful. also gave us commandments to follow, his commandments not mine. love one another. love thy enemy. you don’t want to follow them, your business. i’m not the judge. go educate yourself instead of judging people as hate mongers when it’s quite the contrary. rob says september 27, 2023 at 11:05 am most sensible comment i’ve seen in this whole thread. guest says july 6, 2022 at 2:30 am my take after reading all these comments, the right has spoken the truth (though there was that atheist who copied trump’s moniker as an “atheist genius”, which was his desire to be a ruler over the republicans and religion rather than actual intellect) the left wants things and demands they get their way or else they will use their marxist totalitarian methods to enforce that they meet their greedy ends. gerald j. boyum, these chinese loving posers, i mean posters, have doubled down on exactly what you said about them and you have now made and double backed up and double proven your point. anonymous says july 13, 2022 at 7:24 pm it’s not leftist. it’s people that think raping over 20 women, drinking bleach and coup de’tas are bad ideas. glad i am not ignorant. 👍 anonymous says july 29, 2022 at 10:04 pm no one was raped no one drank any bleach and there was no insurrection. welfare grubbing dolt. think ill use you for batting practice in public until you either understand reality or stop twitching. no safe space. no help no salvation ron says august 2, 2022 at 11:45 pm damn right. the retarded people caused this says june 28, 2022 at 4:47 pm very mentally retarded people shouldn’t be allowed to vote at all. anonymous says july 17, 2022 at 9:57 pm so true😂😂😂 richard lee says january 19, 2023 at 5:34 am i am here too

6:43 pm the arthur is caught up in a superficial cultural christianity guest says july 6, 2022 at 2:39 am my take after reading all these comments, the right has spoken the truth (though there was

republican party is the root of all evil in this country because they are commist party in this country and we true american people must take control of our country guest says july 6, 2022 at 2:28 am

biden is a communist dictator wannabe whether you want to admit it or not. dodie says july 12, 2022 at 6:18 pm also liz cheney should look at herself   to me worthless and worries about president trump   she’s try to get democrats to vote for her….she needs to worry about the economy, gas prices, food, housing and others that has 🤬🤬🤬🤬up   look at the border majority are illegals sick and in american hospitals with all types diseases   what do you think liz and that is the truth says july 15, 2022 at 10:23 am joe biden was really dropped on his head when he was born which is why he is a very severely mentally retarded fool altogether. the fool needs to be impeached. asap. anonymous says july 22, 2022 at 4:08 pm bingo. you nailed it. fjb says july 8, 2022 at 5:58 pm joe biden and his

2022 at 5:04 am its the same thing! our judeo/christian values are the same thing as biblical/ christian values! read the bible and the torah. wow we have some real intelligent people here. anonymous says june 13, 2022 at 3:32 am i was a six year veteran 1984 and all the human resources for the companies with good pension jobs, told me they were only hiring blacks. so i ended up homeless, hopeless, hungry and bleeding teeth. i’m 64 now and a poor man suffering so the demoncrates could favour only blacks and i hate the left and i am determined to strick the left down. anonymous says june 15, 2022 at 12:16 am should have stuck it out for 20 and received 50 percent in retirement at minimum. anonymous says june 30, 2022 at 10:51 pm i’m white & been in construction for 30+ years. i never heard that in my entire career. sad story. never heard of hr for any company to do that. it’s illegal!!!! david says july 22, 2022 at 1:29 am of course it’s illegal. but i’m amazed how many posts on the internet by sincere citizens reflect little knowledge of law, politics and history. these are basic to civics. i wish the us would take half its military budget and devote it to raising standards of education so as to bring all states, and school districts up to the same quality. kids are impeded from achieving the dream of a good life if they’re denied a good education. there’s no good moral reason why the children of appalachian should have one standard of education, and the children of upstate new york another. the time when the us could play world police is drawing to a close because economic changes. at the end of ww2, the us represented 40% of the world gdp. today, it’s less than 15%. it’s a little higher than the eu, and about 20% smaller than china. two keys to the future:   winding down gracefully from world military dominances, and building alliances with other countries to fill the gap.   education, education, education. doug says july 28, 2022 at 10:22 am you are nearly 100% right, but it wouldn’t take a half of a trillion per year to elevate our education system to heights unimaginable anywhere in the world. our schools could be places where every student would thrive, where every student would want to be every day. every student could be educated to their fullest potential. teachers could have all of the resources, support and assistance they need to teach at their highest level every day, to love their jobs. our children would be smarter than us, happier and healthier than we were. america would experience a new renaissance. if we want citizens to love this country, give all of them the best education in the history of the world. it is a completely attainable goal. anonymous says july 30, 2022 at 3:54 am lol that’s because it’s a fake story. and if it isn’t entirely bs, it’s heavily embellished. put yourself in the story as the hiring managers, would you confess to committing a crime to a guy off the street? for what purpose? and this happened multiple times? and somehow he knows the political affiliations of these hiring managers? and they’re all democrats? if he’s so good at sussing out people’s party membership, why not find a company headed by a conservative? why not just go to south? but, yeah, bs story. this forum is ridiculous and everyone is so one sided. be rational like a good american says september 13, 2022

people for what you chose to do.veterans always are highly considered for employment more than all races.you have to really want to work or guess what happens.you will remain poor. zidane says june

been shunned in american politics, and social programs that ensure opportunity isn’t monetized never get off the ground. capitalism is fantastic for innovation and competition, but left unrestricted it leaves entire communities unable to participate so true says august 4, 2024 at 1:11 pm the democrats are very evil radical far left pigs out to destroy our america which there should really be a law to actually arrest those two legged demons. leo says june 14, 2022 at 11:58 pm autocratic fascists who use white insecurities to push their dictatorship attempts on the country. i would be more prone to blame corporate greed and selling out of country for current status. how putin is laughing at how his puppet has caused so much division in the u.s.a. mike says june 25, 2022 at 2:16 pm silliest article i’ve ever read. all propaganda. it’s a shame so many follow trump blindly. in reality he’s nothing but a con man. he doesn’t pay his bills, he treats woman horribly and has no loyalty to friends or family. he’s a lone island of greed and gluttony. j says june 28, 2022 at 8:07 am how do your morons feel about your impotent, incapable figure head today??? liberals do nothing but demolish the status quo, they bring nothing to anyone… n o t h i n g… only morons would support the socialist.liberals   the taxes that get paid in this country to support you pathetic wastes are not contributed by the jobless, don’t wanna work, morons that comprise 90% of your movement’s… you are all pathetic whatever says june 30, 2022 at 3:19 am how do you survive on a diet of crayons? holy f*clk! y’all are certifiably dumb!you refuse to see reality . it’s absolutely mind boggling! anonymous says july 1, 2022 at 1:59 am you sat on your ass, retired in your 50s used your wives money, hung out with criminals, sluts did drugs, you had a great past job… but now it’s your diarrhea of the mouth pride, narcissist abuse of family, wife & crazy, making destructive talk & behavior no to anger & outrage says july 7, 2022 at 8:40 am amen to that! trump is a grifter and a conman saying whatever outrageous thing needs to be said to get more money and power for himself at the greater expense of loosing our democracy. the republicans have lost their morals and the democrats want to make up for sins of our forefathers, but our country was founded on the principles of egalitarianism not christianity because almost all of our founding fathers were agnostics. people need to stop being so angry and outraged all of the time. it’s not good for your health or your soul   or the soul of our country! gg mcabbe says august 14, 2022 at 1:05 pm i can’t believe you could be this ignorant of reality and still remember to breathe signsofautumnsigns says july 1, 2022 at 10:50 pm yup! i read some articles that putin was or still is paying off americas environmentalists to attack oil/gas more than they ever have. and as for ev’s, in the end they cause deadly harm to rain forest , wildlife and indigenous peoples villages to mine for ev materials and of course it’s mostly china doing the damage for ev materials. wind turbines are killing 10000’s of birds and that’s a fact, but the green new deal people cover their ears and close their eyes. true hypocrites. and sending millions to ukraine is bankrupting our future. it’s ok to help ukraine, but democrat cities have homeless people od’ing and shitting in the streets while governors are paying $320 700 a plate for food instead of helping their own people. it’s funny how all the democratic cities are trash pits filled with crime no matter how many new democrats get voted in . same with their schools. $37,000 per student and they can’t spell or pass a math class! why do democratic voters refuse to see the truth or admit it? because they’re liars and so many are deep down racists rd says july 20, 2022 at 2:27 pm your 0pinion is not well thought out . there is corrupt on both sides, and the government on both sides have just as many faults as the other .the only way to get compassion from either side is get rid of rich and get rid of poor and let the people do what is to be done with no money involved at all.this would eliminate greed, favoritism, and control, and all the bad that comes from being in power. now on the positive side do things in a humble humane way . and everyone take a lesson what it means to be human, and everyone learn how to listen ,not hear but listen . oh and the most important get them to be honest completely . then you would have a government that was worth leading the people . but until that happens all politicians are evil and corrupt so get off your high horse and stop defending either side . anonymous says november 21, 2022 at 6:37 pm ok comrade anonymous says july 3, 2022 at 10:24 pm your about as ignorant as they come. no wait that’s the orange maggots title gg mcabbe says august 14, 2022 at 1:14 pm you are a great representative of a liberal. low information anonymous says june 5, 2022 at 4:52 am don’t you know by now that democrats can’t comment truthfully. not all of them lie just most of them. anonymous says june 5, 2022 at 11:47 pm this is really a stupid answer that this person espoused because the liberals are not the ones who want to have an all white america. this extremist think that trump is their god but he is not smart enough to come up with the real reason. anonymous says june 13, 2022 at 5:54 pm we the people will vote in november deb says august 9, 2022 at 8:35 am you are going to lose.. your traitor hid us going to prison. anyone who says they follow jesus but support trump, will not make it past saint peter. you are worshiping the wrong jesus. gg mcabbe says august 14, 2022 at 1:16 pm the wrong jesus? oh lord anonymous says july 20, 2023 at 10:33 am the dems hate america and almost have destroyed it yet their voters love them every dem in our government are doing the devil’s work southerners suck says june 7, 2022 at 5:01 am we lie? golly. who told you that? your former thrice married electoral president? the incontinent crook who lied an estimated 30,000 times after being appointed president? that guy? psst, stuff like that is why everyone thinks southerners are stupid liars…in case y’all were wondering ong. anonymous says june 15, 2022 at 4:53 pm how do you like it now the only people who approve of this dottering fool still live with mom and dad i for one think joe biden is the worst president in our country’s history anonymous says july 30, 2022 at 4:11 am your mistake, typical of conservatives, is assuming democrats make their entire personalities around our elected officials. i voted for biden, therefore i need to update all of my social media. i need signs on my lawn and in my window. i need decals for my car, bumper stickers. hats, keychains, and shirts. maybe a biden onesie for the child and dog. a tattoo? you can’t just vote for someone with the hope that they’ll do their job. no, they have to be the chosen one. the anointed one. conservatives are an interesting bunch. they talk a big game about the constitution and democracy, but i know they’d, if given the chance, go full dictatorship or monarchy. i mean, being governed by one being, and authority worship is baked into your brains at an early age. in god we trust says june 16, 2022 at 9:59 pm we worship god and democrats worship the devil and hate american values so much that they are willing to destroy there voters as well as us democrats use lgbq and anyone else they can get to believe there lies.and democratic voters are so filled with hate they are literally destroying there self as well but they are blinded by hate and they have you believing they are for you when all they want to do is destroy america and that includes low class and middle class democrats.they claim they want to go green shut down alaska pipeline american jobs and give brazil millions of dollars to drill.they shut down alaska pipeline again and buy russian oil they do not want american to have good jobs or a good life they want us to struggle and die but all they have done is piss is off to the point where they better run and hid in another country because we will not back down we will fight we know the enemy now.most off us have nothing else to lose and that makes us very dangerous.the reason our country was so great is because we put god and country first they used our soldiers them demonized them for doing what they trained and made them do then did the same thing to cops it all about destroying everything we love about america and they will have a fight like they won’t believe.and everyone that lives in america will be affected by what they are doing no matter your political or your religion.wake up fool.don’t let them destroy you.be smart and pull your head out of your ass.don’t be a jackass unless you want to destroy your life as well.in god we trust not science.if it was used for good intentions science is good but they don’t want us to have a better life they want more power and money it will never be enough they have a lot of money and act like there one with the people lol.they don’t care about anyone but there rich friends and family and there best interest. snaps says june 30, 2022 at 4:00 am maga is the american taliban!. how you dumbf*cks got radicalized will be studied for decades to come. it’s absolutely mind boggling and terrifying! disproven bs says july 4, 2022 at 12:45 pm incorrect, you worship the uneducated promise of the god under the guise of inexact incomplete information. the state church of the uk is what most of the 1930’s 1940’s born us people think is the fate of the u.s. the god is not blond haired and blue eyes, neither was the human from the essence jewish tribe. you are human or you would not be able to understand these written words. the devil or satan does not exist imo, but a demon want’s power over others to hold financial/political oppression over others. the quota limitation on hiring was tried, in error, and removed. if there was a devil it would be divisive, power grifting gluttony. with the enactment of the state church of the u.s., the united states ceases to exist. the 1st political party of the u.s. is the democratic party, followed by many others, then the republican party prior to the civil war. the most inaccurate ideals that current day republicans hold, and i was brought up as one, is that you will get even for the 44th potus’ two term success & retirement. instead of the 44th potus being a natural progression of the decisions of the u.s. citizenry, it has been ignorantly interpreted as a personal vendetta. many of you that have errored on the side of thinking that the 45th potus was going to reestablish your fiscal power & religious/social rule, have still not righted your views following the january 6th 2021 coup d’état. as it is a result of your limited incomplete comparative knowledge, it is impossible for there to be a reward granted to you by this imbecilic favor. killing is killing; from the early 80’s through to the iraq wars i have constantly heard references to; make it a glass parking lot, they’re a bunch of “sand niggars”. but what it comes to placing respectful power in the hands of the one who possesses the human body/a woman’s body, it’s a pagan blood ritual or a satanic ritual. many of you are uneducated beyond extreme religious dogma through the course of your lives. and abortion is part of the blasphemous masculine oppression of women, non caucasians. the altr/isis tendency’s in our world are exactly the same; uneducated blind faith brainwashed through fear and continued blasphemous reinforcement. and you want a compulsive lying conman like trump to be the god send! why not hitler or stalin, peu’tin? deb says august 9, 2022 at 8:39 am no you don’t worship god. if you truly did you would not be talking the way you do. you would also not be kneeling before trump, a man who would not know jesus if he passed him in the street. jesus was a dark skinned jewish man. oath keepers who attacked our democracy on january 6th, don’t like jewish people. missouri blows says june 7, 2022 at 5:23 am it’s nice to see that insolvent trump hole missouri is still filled with that same inferior breed of worthless rural human they’ve had there since their vile slaver compromise. i honestly think i’d visit syria before ever setting foot in that filthy un american rural shithole. master says june 13, 2022 at 11:00 am please. do go to syria. the rest of the country would love that tammy says june 16, 2022 at 8:45 pm ❤️🤣. he wants communism so bad….why wait for the democrats to bankrupt our country and usher in communism! let him move to cuba. disproven bs says july 4, 2022 at 12:51 pm it’s not communism. it’s you having enough healthcare to meet your needs while still owning a house! disproven bs says july 4, 2022 at 12:49 pm that’s alright, people should just go door to door and help educate the forgotten trodden, with ar 15 in tow of course, missouri is a beautiful state, show me? anonymous says june 15, 2022 at 3:58 am please do in god we trust says june 16, 2022 at 10:08 pm that how stupid you are do you even realise those that you talk about work the farms that feed your dumb ass.wow incredible y’all know nothing about us only the lies they tell you which it’s not your fault your a idiot you learned from them lol. gg mcabbe says august 14, 2022 at 1:29 pm i am sure you would be treated well on your trip. oh, missouri is quite nice, especially without you. you won’t be missed! bob says june 7, 2022 at 6:20 am we learned it from reagan. arnold says june 10, 2022 at 9:31 am they are afraid of trump the only problem eith trump was his mouth other than that he has done every thing he has promised as for biden he take no blaim for anyting it is russia or trump i hope you get impeached bobbi says june 13, 2022 at 2:47 am so tell me, trump did everything he said out to do. you got that right. never has this country had such a polarization of democrats and republicans. we can’t even discuss basic issues and come to some resolution. we lost a sense of decency and integrity and forgot how to respect each other‘s opinions without it turning into a bar brawl. we need some kind of unification of our parties to make intelligent decisions for the people and by the people dwayne a young says june 14, 2022 at 12:28 pm the bipartisan bickering and party separation of the country really took hold when nelson mandella, i mean barrack obama took office and instantly declared us all racist. its been downhill from there. i do not remember this issue in the bush admin, though there were antiwar haters, which is typical for liberals. they would rather fight thier brother than the murderer at the door. choga rae says june 21, 2022 at 12:31 pm you’re correct i think…the right lost their heads when we put a black man in office and he did much better than the white man before them. obama blew up their racist narrative of the “dumb n****r” and they’ve been butthurt over it since. anonymous says july 30, 2022 at 4:56 am no, what actually happened is you naturally assumed you were not racist or bigoted in anyway. mostly because you don’t align with or even detest nazis or the kkk. you don’t believe in segregation or things like that. you don’t believe anyone is inherently inferior. maybe you’ve even got a black pal you get along with. so you’ll be damned if you listen to corrections or make changes because you do enough! call them what? no. you’ve decided what they were being called was good enough already. why are they complaining now? it’s just a joke, it’s just a costume, it’s just a name. relax! what? why can’t i say that word? it’s just a word. no one should be offended! maybe if those minorities in the ghetto acted like your good minority friend, things wouldn’t be so dire for them! and of course you didn’t see it in bush. dubya is white. therefore you could still not listen to brown people and hold the moral highground because, hey, you’re not a nazi. michael merrill says june 30, 2022 at 7:09 pm when the author says america white and conservative assist american default george mccauley says june 10, 2022 at 6:59 pm benedict arnold, jefferson davis and donald trump are shame filled liars, cowards and traitors. master says june 13, 2022 at 11:02 am luckily no1 cares what stupid people like you think dwayne a young says june 14, 2022 at 12:29 pm your forgot to add george mccauley to that list you prick. john says june 14, 2022 at 3:17 pm people who think like you are the reason this country is doomed in god we trust says june 16, 2022 at 10:19 pm and hillary clinton sails uranium one to russia obama gave guns to cartels through fast and furious act.obama also had a meeting with china in alaska by himself and acted like it was a coincidence china was there how stupid are you if trump did what hillary clinton did with classified documents they would have used everything they could to put him in jail hillary clinton,obama and biden are criminals in god we trust says june 16, 2022 at 10:19 pm and hillary clinton sails uranium one to russia obama gave guns to cartels through fast and furious act.obama also had a meeting with china in alaska by himself

hillary clinton,obama and biden are criminals rimshots73 says july 4, 2022 at 1:16 pm well georgie, you’re a good democrat. i like democrats. i really like them better when they’ve been neutered and put out of office. trump and desantis are going to spank america’s democrats soon while the entire world watches in astonishment. fact says july 14, 2022 at 7:04 am said the moron himself that needs to get a real life. anonymous says july 30, 2022 at 5:03 am george, let me hit you with an akshully. benedict arnold was a swell enough dude who was totally screwed over by the american government and military. the government owed arnold rightful wages and when he asked for them, he was written off as greedy and selfish. similar for aaron burr. these gents received villain upgrades over time due to their stories being told by their enemies. also, donald probably doesn’t feel shame. i stand with you in spirit, though. fact with real truth says june 3, 2022 at 7:35 am all you very brainless worthless retards that voted for biden the clown is the real reason why we really are in such a mess today. trump is a traitor says june 12, 2022 at 4:18 pm no, it’s people who use the word “retard” who expose themselves as brainless knuckle dragging mouth breathers. i didn’t need to read past that word to know you were a trumpanzee. you like him because he’s just as stupid, racist and thoughtless as you are. guest says june 12, 2022 at 6:10 pm hey listen moron, all you liberal psycho’s that are breathing are causing too much tragedy in our country today since you’re polluting this whole planet altogether. disproven bs says july 4, 2022 at 12:54 pm read a book! you’re gullible! the 45th potus only cares about his bottom line! dwayne a young says june 14, 2022 at 12:32 pm hey moron! your very name has been debunked! how about you get up to speed and realise the damage your potus pick is causing the country and stop with this childish bullcrap behavior. i’ll take mean tweets and cheap gas any day of the week. fjb you said the truth says july 14, 2022 at 7:10 am dwayne, you certainly nailed it. in god we trust says june 16, 2022 at 10:21 pm and hillary clinton sails uranium one to russia obama gave guns to cartels through fast and furious act.obama also had a meeting with china in alaska by himself and acted like it was a coincidence china was there how stupid are you if trump did what hillary clinton did with classified documents they would have used everything they could to put him in jail hillary clinton,obama and biden are criminals. i agree says july 18, 2022 at 6:26 am to trump is a traitor, it is very retarded people like you that are to really blame in the first place just like the other person said. bottom like is, they shouldn’t be allowed to vote at all since they’re so very clueless to begin with. you can pray for me   i'll think for you says june 21, 2022 at 6:07 pm how sad. i thought the whole deal with being a “christian” was not hating your neighbor? i guess not. i just finished reading an article about oodles of studies that point to religious people having lower iq’s. i was thinking, well, as your friendly neighborhood atheist, i doubt i’m any smarter than the next peasant, no matter his beliefs. i started looking for flaws in the data, ready to defend the rights of religious people to believe whatever helps them get through the hard times, just as i hope they would defend my right to have escaped my fundamentalist upbringing, and to have found my own peace in not being forced to believe at all. i just miss the days when no matter how weird i thought my neighbors beliefs were, that because we live in a democracy (which is what our representational republic was designed to accomplish) with a distinct separation between church and state, it allowed my neighbor to believe as he wished, while i had the right to do the same. meanwhile, we could get about the business of being neighbors…digging each other out of the snow, passing extra tomatoes over the fence, and ultimately, having each other’s backs during hard times. it’s all just so very sad and such a silly waste of time. life is hard enough for those of us among the working classes. gee, i wonder who might have an interest in keeping us all so divided and less effective while the divide between the haves and have nots grows and grows and grows…. tucker filsner says june 2, 2022 at 8:34 am “why do leftists hate america? america is a massive refutation of their utopian fantasy, universal equality. they compare america with their vision of a perfect country which has never existed” so we shouldn’t even try? sounds very un american and weak to me. anonymous says june 24, 2022 at 9:09 am you shouldn’t even try communism/facism. they promise utopia but its really dystopia. the real truth teller says june 1, 2022 at 12:21 pm the very severely mentally retarded people that voted biden in are very much to blame as well for this very horrible mess that we have today. anonymous says june 8, 2022 at 3:41 pm bone head anonymous says june 15, 2022 at 3:56 pm and that includes you too. dale says june 9, 2022 at 6:46 pm yes you are.correct master says june 13, 2022 at 11:15 am lolol true story! patriot for american conservatives says june 26, 2022 at 11:53 pm i agree! my sister of 59 years and best friend of 55 years, i disowned them both for voting biden. they can’t seem to understand why i am so hateful towards them, they are american traitors. they are the idiots responsible for this entire mess. i will never forgive them! i am an ex army sergeant and i guarantee all the dead soldiers did not give their lives, to support an lgbtq woke marxist society. deb says august 9, 2022 at 8:44 am you disowned your family for trump? seriously? i’m not even. a biden fan and i loathe trump, even if i don’t agree with my family over politics, i would not disown them for how they feel. this is what putin wanted and you fell right into his hands. wow. your life is going to get real lonely soon. bless you guest says august 18, 2022 at 6:30 pm the real truth is that people that don’t play with a full deck really shouldn’t be allowed to vote at all since they’re without a doubt complete morons to begin with. i would make a brand new law for those morons to never vote at all period since they’re really the ones that caused all of this garbage to happen in the fist place. let that sink in. jason sethre says may 31, 2022 at 3:58 pm not believing donnie’s lies, not mincing, vlad tepic, chick a dee dee, alfredo fettucine, patton franklin, and george fillmore watson… all the same poster coming from ip address 135.180.69.32. at least if you are going to post on comments, use the same name instead of pretending to be a whole bunch of different posters. arnold corny says june 4, 2022 at 6:49 pm republican candidates have been able to exploit their voters ignorance & lack of desire to educate themselves for many decades now, and ‘socialism’ has been a boogeyman word that can win elections somehow. its pathetic that so many magas still have no clue what it means yet think it applies to our current government when a maga shows me american capitalism ending, i’ll accept their use of socialism, until then read a book ffs anonymous says june 6, 2022 at 2:31 pm your one pathetic democrat. period anonymous says june 10, 2022 at 1:21 pm move to cuba you lying commie demoncrat you’ll love it! anonymous says june 12, 2022 at 5:23 pm the country is in such great shape under democrats said everyone living under a rock! master says june 13, 2022 at 11:18 am lolol true story! …arnold corny, you are whats wrong with america. you are a straight up fuckn retard. i am extremely educated on all topics political and common sense dictates my choice of republican. libritarian to be more accurate. my true deep wish is that u let in so many conservatives, you leftist commies will never come close to

country.look at there results every time they get in there oh that’s right your as dule as a rusted knife if you believe a word out of there mouth. erasmus says july 29, 2022 at 1:57 pm i knew you were a republican as soon as i saw the wall of text that is literally one giant run on sentence, fraught with malapropisms and misspellings. this is what happens when these hick towns in trump country defund their public schools. raymond j schachner says may 30, 2022 at 1:51 pm i love america that whi i hate trump all you trumpsters who are baking an idiot who thinks it eas a good idea to inject

shame that we can’t inject it knowing it kills the covid virus.”. u going to quote get it right. george fillmore watson says may 31, 2022 at 2:44 pm is there an english translation for this gibberish? jason sethre says may 31, 2022 at 3:59 pm not believing donnie’s lies, not mincing, vlad tepic, chick a dee dee, alfredo fettucine, patton franklin, and george fillmore watson… all the same poster coming from ip address 135.180.69.32. at least if you are going to post on comments, use the same name instead of pretending to be a whole bunch of different posters. big d says june 5, 2022 at 4:47 am don’t you know by now that democrats can’t comment truthfully. not all of them lie just most of them. rurals are trash says june 7, 2022 at 5:26 am from an unedicated welfare state missourian? don’t hold your breath they will never learn. dave joyner says june 1, 2022 at 1:43 pm exactly i love it when the left here something from cnn but never here’s the retraction that’s happens so often. just like the disabled reporter remember that? that was depuked 100 times but left this still talk about it just like russian collusion remember that? the left still even though they know hillary clinton is the one who colluded with russia they still say trump colluded with russia they will never learn ruralsareinferior says june 7, 2022 at 5:15 am was that before or after diaper don told the harrowing story of the redcoats taking over our airports in the 1770s? ruralsstink says june 7, 2022 at 5:18 am and then he asked his surgeon general to look into it, bug. but, i guess to an inferior missourian, even a man who thought we had airports during the revolutionary war is considered smart. eileen crescas says may 30, 2022 at 9:30 pm i agree completely. read the history of mr t and his family . he believes in robbing the poor and not paying his bills, because he was taught that is what he is entitled to. he says things that are about what he does in reality and says that is what the so called left is doing or responsible for. . and people that can’t think for themselves believe his lies. what a waste of time spent by not having the courage to think for themselves and in so doing become a better human being for their family and the world. thank you. mrs. ec david joyner says june 1, 2022 at 1:46 pm i guess maybe you forgot that donald trump gave us the greatest economy in history not just america’s history obviously no country has ever had a better economy that the one who gave us. so he wasn’t out for himself he was out for the united states of america and he gave us the lowest unemployment in history and the highest median household income level in history and the greatest tax cuts in history the best 401(k)s and history of the most record stock market highs not to mention eight brand new trade deals when the record was two not to mention breaking the all time presidential record for work done getting 68% of his agenda completed smashing reagan’s record of 49% so he wasn’t after the money he wanted to help this country and help this country more than every president in history and that is statistically proven in the board of labor statistics and homeland security rurals are smelly says june 7, 2022 at 5:28 am whatever helps you sleep with your underage wife at night, cletus. in god we trust says june 16, 2022 at 11:23 pm did you get your crack pipe biden giant you to have to keep you in retard status that our tax dollar went to go smoke some more crack your obviously on something right now. b.real says june 8, 2022 at 5:09 am nothing

its best under clinton. great economy, healthcare and low taxes. he did not rob the poor to feed the rich. then we get bush fir eight years, cos loses the banks and started a war. get a grip and an education. john says june 3, 2022 at 11:39 pm awesome! you pretty much just said it all! ijah says june 4, 2022 at 9:55 am why are you yelling and in language that is so unintelligible !?? zilla says june 4, 2022 at 3:35 pm too bad they don’t require passing a 3rd grade literacy test to make a comment. you are a perfect example of the retards that comprise the mental midget left. theruralsaresad says june 7, 2022 at 5:12 am daddy tell us again how the redcoats overran our airports in the 1770s. rural inferiors from joke states like missouri saying others are mentally compromised in some way would be like a bone spur suffering draft dodger attacking the patriotism of soldiers who served. the way your one term, electoral appointed president did before we cleans crushed him by seven million votes. but hey, don’t fret rurals. your incontinent candidate came in second. nothing wrong with the silver rurals. scooter says june 4, 2022 at 10:30 pm stupid is as stupid does you are a meathead that is dead from kneck up thomas breidel says june 7, 2022 at 6:39 am hate, hate, hate leave this country and start your own. look at your clown what a great job destroying america! john doe says june 12, 2022 at 6:22 pm it was the very severely mentally retarded people that are really too blame for voting that old bag man biden in that has caused this very horrible mess today in the first place. the bottom line is that the very mentally retarded people shouldn’t be allowed to vote at all period since they’re just very dumb to know from right from wrong. brainless fools altogether. and they need to be sent to cuba. master says june 13, 2022 at 11:24 am my god. what a dumbass xd ill just leave this 1 alone. i mean do u seriously not understand why we’d rake the forrest? do u love

raise there own children they are hypocritical fans full of shit like you. anonymous says may 30, 2022 at 1:26 pm “a. american conservatism, promoted by republicans and founded on biblical/christian principles that have resulted in the greatest country to have ever existed?” this violates the constitution of the united states of america and is about as anti american as you can get. david joyner says june 1, 2022 at 1:50 pm i don’t really understand what you’re saying you’re trying to say being a conservative and loving the bible is against the constitution? obviously this country was started with god as ahead of everything in the bible as an instruction manual for life because that’s exactly what it is. god should be the lead in everything we do in this life no matter what it does it always be there and he is he is what it’s all about anonymous says june 1, 2022 at 3:43 pm i agree. but i think we are already there. and now there’s nowhere to flee to. the whole world is a euro

prejudice, arbitrariness, senseless wars and occasional descent into the rabbithole of irrational madness.. i must say, from our perspective, that’s exactly where you lot are heading unless you bang your heads together, strip away : (a) the hand wringing accusatory bs on the left and (b) the calls for ethnic cleansing and false victimhood on the right and start talking. jimmie crank says march

eliopoulos says march 19, 2022 at 6:48 am thank you for your succinct observations and advice. american says march 19, 2022 at 10:33 am well for one thing , “””we the people””” put this so called government in place to safe gaurd our rights and constitution and they have not done their job in over 40 years!!! so now it is time for “””we the people””” to replace this corrupt and communist turned government. these are the ones that allowed damocraps to fund wuhan to make this chinajoefauci virus. that has killed hundreds of thousands of people across this country and planet. so they are all guilty of murder as well as human trafficking fraudulent election disseption of the citizens of this country. stealing tax payers money funding communist countries and many other crimes against humanity!!! they all belong in prison and then the march to the wall of a firing squad. where no one uses blanks . live rounds only !!!!!!!!! christopher mi carlson says may 15, 2022 at 12:29 pm lol they are censoring the comments here clown boy. m. freeman says may 16, 2022 at 9:31 pm lol oh my lord they might delete his comment! 🤣 you’re so comfortable with being compliant and muzzled you assume others are too. lol we’re not. we still speak our minds. enjoy that muzzle. richard t killian says may 15, 2022 at 6:37 pm i’m with you. end the attacks on the constitution. defend our individual rights. anyone who is happy with runaway inflation, wars on every corner and a controlled media that inflames division and mistrust and thinks they’ll be unaffected is a threat to liberty. it’s not just our country, but mankind that will disappear from the earth. michael says may 29, 2022 at 9:53 am our constitution bwahaha leftist and rightwingers like that constitution? theres no constitution everyone had to pander to american exceptionally we had a bill of rights a constitution those don’t exist anymore might as well burn it better draft a new one there won’t be civil war yheres going to have to be a revolution in this country the united states can no longer claim its united after this false election theres just a group of semi autonomous confederacies there needs be a new constitution the old united states is lost i don’t get why people can’t realize that metroknowm says june 5, 2022 at 8:43 pm finally, an intelligent, conservative opinion that is also legible, with proper grammar, spelling, and syntax. as a fellow constitutional conservative, i appreciate that. truly. and to the creature that believed our constitution is eroded to the point where we are now confederacies, that is simply not true. we are not yet too far gone to redirect this wonderfully blessed country in a direction that is truly beneficial for all, highly functional, and constitutionally correct. anonymous says may 22, 2022 at 10:20 pm well spoken tucker carlson alfredo fettucine says may 31, 2022 at 2:50 pm i’ll tell you what , you little sissy. come out from behind

not mincing, vlad tepic, chick a dee dee, alfredo fettucine, patton franklin, and george fillmore watson… all the same poster coming from ip address 135.180.69.32. at least if you are going to post on comments, use the same name instead of pretending to be a whole bunch of different posters. anonymous says june 5, 2022 at 7:11 pm i couldn’t have said it any better. sally davis says may 15, 2022 at 8:27 pm it is not just the democrats that hate trump. it is the other folks too who see the man for what he is. he is a narcissistic liar. he is not for america, he is for trump and he has convinced you that if you are for trump too, you are for america but you are not, you are only for trump. he says he is a christian but i have never seen him do a christian thing yet. i believe he is the anti christ because why could such an evil man have so many followers and have brain washed so many people. he stands up on the podium telling you how wonderful you are and how american you are but he leads you down a path of evil and hate. he cultivates the friendship of evil people like putin and kim jong un. now lets talk about when he tried to make everyone use voting machines and not mail in voting. i worked in software and know how easy it is to change an automated record but it is pretty hard to change everyone’s hard copy vote, this is the reason he did not win, because he could not manipulate the votes, not because of fraud, there was no fraud. only he told you there was so you believe him and since you believe him, all the other politian’s who want your vote now tell you the same thing.. who are you? you are someone who can be mentally manipulated with praise and the feeling of belonging to a group and they are using you for self gain. josh says may 19, 2022 at 9:38 am bravo .. the scary part about the comments from these right wing maga loving completely divorced from reality crazies is that they are completely divorced from reality.. trump was and is following the playbook of every authoritarian enemy of democracy. an obvious pathological lying sociopath who during his presidency in plain light never failed to reinforce the high level of ignorance or sociopathy .. even with hundreds of emails texts books interviews by people in his administration which except for a few diehard henchmen all in one voice describe trump as an out of control dangerous incompetent ignorant evil little man who had no business being in business ( with constant failures and grifting ) much less being president .. and now the big lie has been exposed by his own people as a baseless coup plan in their own words in many of the above referenced texts and emails and testimonies.. but as trump and the complicit republicans are attempting to destroy democracy in his cult no evidence matters .. there are no consequences for acts or words by him or his cult politicians that in a more normal time any individual act or words would be career ending .. but in a cult there is no consequence nor in the world of crazed conspiracy any evidence that disproves the theory is deemed part of that’s all i got he conspiracy.. since it’s already gone to far there is no possibility to have an intervention or persuade these crazy people away from the insane claims or feces filled bubbling swamp they inhabit.. we are 1 midterm away from losing our country erik holte says may 19, 2022 at 11:21 am no one can really be this dumb. but then a person reads it and realizes just how ignorant some are. so scary. nik says may 20, 2022 at 4:11 am ugh the brainwashed who still can’t open their eyes research the facts and truth themselves and drank the kool aid like they been doing for many years worked on you it’s seems. how’s sad that with the access to internet and more in today’s age…. you yet to still have awoken from the left democrats complete corruption and lies…..we were brought up believing it’s the republicans that were the bad guys…..i grew up being taught this too….. if your lucky and wise you once day woke up. once you know the truth there’s nothing left to argue. facts are facts. don’tever ever ever expect the fake news to teach you one fact. they own the media. please wake up anonymous says may 20, 2022 at 4:15 am how are you still seriously asleep and living under a rock….. biden administration was enough to wake u up…. yet you would think…. trump and the right warned you all. all coming true…..i luv how you only focus on your hate for trump…. which is all false hatred your going by…. facts…. but your ego don’t want the truth. start looking at biden and the democratic corruption then talk or stay blind. you look uneducated at this point. can’t fix stupid. it’s scary anonymous says may 20, 2022 at 4:17 am the only one manipulated was you. wow. mike says may 20, 2022 at 1:01 pm thank you. rogan stops on stupid a lot because he is. anonymous says may 23, 2022 at 6:28 am you hit the nail right on the head i don’t usually comment but i’ll tell you what america is in bad trouble we are all coming from immigrants they say we’re losing people why don’t we take the immigrants we need to immigrants are people just like us there’s good to good people there’s bad people why do we wake up and smell the roses start loving each other instead of hating russel r schwarz says may 23, 2022 at 9:51 am go shoot your meth so you can make it through your day. not a single truthful word in your rantings puffy says may 25, 2022 at 2:21 pm you are out of your mind, they fix and destroy hard ballots all the time, its easy to rig mail in votes thats why its never been allowed before now cheri says may 28, 2022 at 7:42 pm never been allowed before? you need to educate yourself, before making yourself look bad. you probably won’t read this, because why would you want to know the truth? oh, and another thing, trump has voted by mail, several times in the last few years in palm beach. looks like he’s really playing you people. https://www.history.com/news/vote by mail soldiers war tom says june 2, 2022 at 3:27 pm it’s funny how people talk about robbing from the poor to get rich like if the poor people had to pay as many taxes and as much for all the same things that i have to they would be what more rich? isn’t the idea that a person who make 20k a year gets the same police, roads, fire department etc by paying a lot less in taxes mean they are robbing from the middle class? dan says may 28, 2022 at 2:27 pm i can promise you that there is no calls for ethnic cleansing from a right wing here in america. it’s non existent. anytime someone states that belief the mainstream media prop up and disingenuously treat that person like they’re legitimate and significant. i can give you countless examples but january 6th is probably the best. there were numerous fbi agents stirring up the crowd that day trying to usher people into the capital to start some sort of conflict between the capitol police and trump supporters. also there’s numerous video showing the capitol police walking people through the capital and carrying on conversations with others peacefully. also, the only person who died that day was shot point blank from 10 ft away buy a capitol policeman. a trump supporter that is was shot. and they were unarmed. you can’t compare european right wing to american right wing. the european right wing is a century long history of big, central authoritarian government and sometimes militarism. european political ideologies both agree on a big government they just disagree on how that big government is used and the policies it will implement right wing and left wing in america is much different. it’s a small government versus big government ideological difference. no one on the right wants a strong man. there is no voter block yearning for a right wing governmental dictatorship that centralises power in dc and enforce a nationalist/reactionary agenda. they want less central government. the right wing in america wants a weak arguably ineffective federal government with the majority of major legislation and the citizens focus on local politics. essentially democracy on a statewide level where citizens of each state vote on how they won thursday to be run and the laws that they want to be enacted a back and forth between the federalists and those who opposed federalism. chick a dee dee dee says may 31, 2022 at 2:52 pm define “fedralism”…. without looking it up. yea…. i thought so. jason sethre says may 31, 2022 at 3:58 pm not believing donnie’s lies, not mincing, vlad tepic, chick a dee dee, alfredo fettucine, patton franklin, and george fillmore watson… all the same poster coming from ip address 135.180.69.32. at least if you are going to post on comments, use the same name instead of pretending to be a whole bunch of different posters. renny oko says march 7, 2022 at 7:52 am greetings fellow perfectionists please allow this republican retort. republicants just focus on their favorite friend,profit. will pass laws deregulating banks, auto makers, energy barons, politicians, food, all that increases profit and when it leads to death they verbalize we will do better,lie, like when airplanes fell from the sky. they muttered damn it. those airline companys dropped the ball on self regulating. much like senators burris and tillis inside trading ponzie scheming is well non prosecuted. see you all in hell and no you will not be there counting your money nor will you be happy and smiling. fanatical republicants are haters, and stand by while their friends assassinated a sitting president. and yes men know more about what a woman can do with her body, just like moslem control freaks treat their youthful wives. the good governments collect taxes not just deregulate municipal police and everything else hoping profit will increase. i’m betting on global warming wins this new breed fanatic. please support texas recession now watch george bush move to the north east. mekagoen mimadri says march 8, 2022 at 9:22 am help we, the folk, to eradicate the kamala harris and the faux fake president of a cigar butt, joey biden, from universe. democrexit..! the total abandonment of the sinister wrong political party, in perpetuity, for all eternity. the sinister wrong party now downsizing at the speed of the internet, to become a pathetic, inconsequential, and stunningly inconvenient, get together.. a gathering of unsightly folk looking like the ancient olmec heads adorning ancient archeological temples in central america. the countenance of rashida tlaib (purely anti lust; men become effeminate at her mere sjght) nancy, la fica pelosa. a most repulsive exemplar… as matters are truly dire under their watch, we kindly and cordially summon the help of your entire enterprise, in the radical removal and disposal of, the most treasonous inconvenient governance in history… we truly hope that y’all take heed, children… anonymous says may 15, 2022 at 6:13 pm where were you born nr.mumadric??? pete clark says march 8, 2022 at 10:03 am bull crap maga b. liever says march 8, 2022 at 1:48 pm just read gerald’s original letter. great assortment of random thoughs   supporting an equally random set of conclusions. you explain it all so well! kudos too to the fillmore county journal   for supporting the special needs community, and publishing their best work. scarlet red says march 18, 2022 at 1:19 pm lmao nick eliopoulos says march 19, 2022 at 7:14 am hello. your insults registered with me and i share the sentiments, i’m wondering if there is a way to steer away from referencing disabled people to make this kind of insult work. i don’t know, maybe there isn’t. i didn’t even think of this reading it the first time through. then it hit me. and i certainly don’t mean to scold you. benjamin s henderson says may 21, 2022 at 7:44 am they all laughed when trump made fun of a disability. libs are brainless says march 9, 2022 at 8:56 am yet we have a president and his family made forever deals with china and ukraine. i think your president’s favorite friend is profit. drew leen says march 15, 2022 at 12:11 pm ahhhhh, you found the elusive email of actual crimes no one could find. you should post it for all to see. dumb ass. just like both parties , smoke and mirrors. stop the maddness. jimmie crank says march 17, 2022 at 6:21 am nancy polosi and her husband has made millions from government insider information, along with maxine waters, eric swalwell, chuckie shumer , rep. shift but oh these are all democrats that have made millions from the government!! viktoriya petrova says march 6, 2022 at 12:50 pm okay, like you say we live in the real world. that’s quite funny that you say that. can you define what that is for me please? do you have any knowledge in physics? do you know multiverse theory? if you don’t, it stipulates that because the universe is expanding infinitely and matter can only adopt a certain amount of configurations, like a deck of cards, well there’s probably someone who looks similar to you, in a universe similar to this. there is no such thing as the real world. glad we cleared that up. most countries right now are trash yes, but what is a country? an excuse to treat people like shit, adopt whatever policy was decided behind the curtains. the top of the pyramid will always abuse the others, if the education we have everywhere right now does not change. we are people. we make the governments, we make the countries, we made the languages, and we made the economy. these things are unnecessary, but they become so when human nature is allowed to be vile. in many rural and poor places, people leave a box of good, and people leave their money and are fair with one another. a perfect country is possible. the left does not hate america. no one hates america. there is no america. people hate each other, the way you aim this is with hate as well. eliminate hate in the world, focus on the total good. and, believe me, if every human did this, we would live fairly and in peace. do you know how to bees work? each bee is a neuron, and the hive is the brain. when choosing a new place to settle camp, they don’t leave until everyone has agreed, and they debate and discuss through dancing. this is a fair society, and it is because of the existence of hive mind. humans were once connected through hive mind in ancient times, egypt and even further in time, you should look into the sumerians. stop shooting words and hate at others doe. all you can do it learn, you’ll realize it involves a lot of respect towards others and oneself. anonymous says march 7, 2022 at 1:39 pm you are comparing humans with bees? anonymous says march 19, 2022 at 10:34 am she’s saying bees are smarter! edgey says may 22, 2022 at 1:56 pm she is correct joe says march 13, 2022 at 12:29 pm wow i’ll bee thinking about this as i collect my honey tax. you are correct in many ways if the bees die so do we if we die the bees dont! i sit and have coffee in a cafa in america with a billionaire from lebanon. his theary is some are lucky some are not, periob. tolerance and nonparticipating says march 13, 2022 at 5:26 pm the issue with your theory is simple  there is never going to be one single thing that “every person” is going to do. this is the reality of the real world that we find ourselves living in today. every single human is a unique individual made up of a specific mixture of personality traits, values, goals, interests, priorities, preferences, dreams, aspirations, molecules, dna, and many, many other things that scientists and technology have still not discovered yet in human history today. a world inhabited by billions of humans with such a complicated and diverse composition by basic definition i will have a complexity of lifestyles, political views, scientific theories, religious beliefs, cultural norms, and national interests. this widely accepted fact has been known for generations upon centuries of years and the historical evolution of humanity has grown and evolved through the history of our existence to become a better and safer environment for all of us to enjoy living in until a few selfish and evil people conspired in dark secrecy about unleashing a covid 19 pandemic on the entire population of the earth in order to create unwarranted fear among unsuspecting and otherwise trusting human beings in a pathetic power grab to become more wealthy and more powerful while everyone else his forced to give up their freedoms and liberties that their families sacrificed their lives in generations of wars created by corrupt tyrants in meaningless pursuits of selfish personal individualistic gains. for the entire history of mankind, we the people have been deceived and manipulated by these families of corruption and tyranny to sacrifice o everything we ever had, our lives, possessions, property, land, children, and what little money we worked hard for our entire lives (and didn’t forfeit back through taxes) all for what purpose? those powerful few elites that enjoy 90% or more of all the power and money in the world are born into privileged lives while accusing the middle class of being undeserving while at the same time claiming to represent the interests of the lower, working class who is gets tricked into lives of slavery. history repeats itself time and time again until the people wisen up to this treachery and thievery and unite together to stand up against tyranny. the united states was created for this very exact reason, and the elites fear the rest of the world’s population will rise up like the americans which is why they infiltrated washington d.c. and purchased the sitting president of the united states through corrupt bribes and scandals, which they also did with hundreds of other governments in nations all around the world, just like during ww1 and ww2 and most likely every other war in the history of mankind. because the common people settle their conflicts with others through methods such as compromise and diplomacy and solve their disputes through conversations that use logic and common sense to produce beneficial outcomes for the mutual parties involved in the conflict. the common human resorts to war only as the final resort when forced to do so in order to protect innocent lives from evil perils a brought upon by the same authoritarian dictatorships responsible for what we see in society right now. instead of repeating the same mistake this time, we came up with a different plan. ozzie says may 23, 2022 at 6:39 am i know where you’re coming from i know what you’re trying to say and it’s really sad the way america has gotten we do we should care about one another if you believe in the bible you believe in god or whatever your religion is your ear your maker has two to believe in love and in giving i can’t believe that anybody’s religion would make them hate kill one another how lies about one another in order to gain and to get money it’s such a greedy thing the greed that is what’s killing people not just america everywhere the greedy man in america it’s the white man he makes me ashamed to be white i can’t hardly walk by a black person that makes me feel sad because my neighbor is a goddamn hater not hair saddens me anonymous says february 25, 2022 at 12:17 am all you dumb fucking republicans on a daily basis you prove there are people more stupid than maggot face trump he and charles mansion and hitler must be triplets . one of the biggest reason maggot face trump wants to be in office so the law can not look into his evil criminal history anonymous says march 1, 2022 at 4:04 pm truth. your tirade is a bit harsh and juvenile, but true. john says march 5, 2022 at 12:24 am your right about the harshness ! but i am for it! just can’t understand your nonsense about being right! i studied russian in college and have a friend who teaches at the university in moscow: she said trump is so unpredictable that he scares the heck out of putin!!she thinks trump is the best president america has had in our lifetime! deanna says march 13, 2022 at 10:31 pm i just cannot get used to how rude and insulting people can treat each other on these comments. by the way posting as “anonymous” kind of projects the image that you just don’t want anybody to know you & that you have to hide to verbalize how you really feel. i am so tired of the trump put downs, he tweeted bfd! he ran the country a hell of a lot better then the previous 6 or 7 presidents. i don’t include clinton and that number.  clinton actually didn’t do to bad   he and gingrich worked together and got a lot accomplished. your ignorance does not not give you the right to call me a dumb fucking republican. for starters i never vote straight ticket, do not consider myself a republican any more and also know that republican and democrat are just words politicians use to keep we the people divided. having worked on the inside i do know that they are all the same once they get office. go ahead mock me, call me demeaning names, throw a stone (since you are without sin), you don’t define me, make me who i am, i don’t debate topics with people who don’t show respect   and i am not going to lower myself and start doing it now. however i will pray and ask god to bless you with the ability to pleasantly disagree without showing hate, name calling, belittling,.bullying,,verbal and emotional abuse is actually what this behavior exhibits. i enjoy political debates with my friends who are politically opposite of me. none of them nor i have to act like that to have a meaningful debate, however we also listen, when the other person is expressing an opinion, not just sit there and wait for the next opportunity to speak. letsgobrandon says march 1, 2022 at 6:34 pm those countries you are citing are predominantly white. the only time you guys can come up with better systems than ours are countries that are more white than ours. letsgobrandon says march 1, 2022 at 6:37 pm this comment was meant for reverend joe not this lunatic with a smooth brain. anonymous says march 2, 2022 at 1:42 pm look in the mirror. fuck off liberals says march 5, 2022 at 7:34 pm wow such intelligent banter from the brandon supporter. haha timmy says march 8, 2022 at 3:53 pm are you as stupid as you sound ? our country was in great shape , energy independent and prospering with trump . timmy says march 8, 2022 at 3:57 pm joe and the hoe gotta go !!!!!! drew leen says march 15, 2022 at 12:33 pm imagine you are in a relay race, you get handed the baton by your team mate who is in the lead as was the team mate who handed him the baton, you take the batton, guess what, you are in the lead already and if you dont fuck it up you will finish in the lead. now tell yourself you won the race all by yourself and convince all your minions you did. sound familiar ? kathy says march 16, 2022 at 10:47 pm i love america! anonymous says may 20, 2022 at 4:23 am the left are literally living under a rock on another planet……. plant stupidity and brainwashed and blind. it’s scary even today you still haven’t woke up even slightly. over the democrats and their delusions already libs are brainless says march 9, 2022 at 8:49 am what criminal history did trump have though? anonymous says march 9, 2022 at 10:05 am wow you are a weak, ignorant,, brainwashed idiot!! i feel really sorry for you!! guest says march 9, 2022 at 10:39 am anonymous, you will burn in hell with satan where you belong. mdm says march 11, 2022 at 3:39 pm and yet again more proof that even without a brain……. that liberal zombies are still capable of flailing their hooves around and banging them into any keyboards in the area . cj says may 16, 2022 at 1:35 pm excuse me ,sweety,i am a republican,and i’d rather not be compared to the sooooooo many, really dumb people in this world who like to point fingers at others and accuse them of being exactly what they are themselves,1  because,when jesus comes ,(and that is very very soon)! i’m smart enough to know that i will be one of the chosen few that will leave this ungodly world with satan and his followers,and the so many that never believed in god,that never believed that jesus died so that we “sinners” could have eternal life with him.,leave them all behind to burn for ever in satan’s eternity,for their love of money,and the hate they carried in their stone cold hearts,this will be their forever and i am anything but dumb,i love you,and every creature upon this earth,because that was god’s greatest commands,to love one another” and just stop a minute and take a long look at all the hate in this cruel world,for one,you call people dumb,and that’s certainly not love,so i will pray for you and love you till death will we forever part,,jesus didn’t throw stones and he certainly did not talk about the one thing that his father said to love,now, i hope i’ve given you a thought for the day. reverend joe says february 17, 2022 at 12:39 pm ever notice how it’s always venezuela that’s used as a model for democratic socialism when the right talks their nonsense about anything they see as the enemy of truth, justice, and the american way? which is even stupider than it sounds at first b/c venezuela is og “socialist”, which almost no one on the left in america is advocating as a solution. it’s never a country that actually embraces “democratic socialism”, like sweden, norway, finland, denmark, etc. countries which, it might be noted, mostly have a higher standard of living on average than america, and much better “free” health care than we do, which is probably a huge part of the reason their citizens are also much happier on average than americans. the only thing they lack that we clearly outstrip them on is “billionaires per capita”. i’ve never lived in a democratic socialist country, and can’t claim to know if it can be made to work in america, or if it would be better or worse than what we have now, and would agree america is still a lot better place to live than most countries. but it would be nice if just once the people decrying democratic socialism and all the ideas from the left in general as pure ee vile would discuss those ideas honestly based on the merits, not with ridiculously false and intentionally deceptive scaremongering like we’ve gotten from our cowardly lion friend gerald here. roberto martinez says february 23, 2022 at 10:04 pm trump is the worst possible outcome that could come from bad quality sperm and much worst upbringing. after listening the comments of this orange fat lard about how much he admire putin ( we all know that this dude wet his panties in the presence of the russian bad hombre)., you only could come to the conclusion that he is a complete imbecile. anybody that think that trump is a leader need to have they head check. and as for trump goes, he could go and fuck himself. letsgobrandon says march 1, 2022 at 6:50 pm says the guy who gets his politics from tiktok. you hold such strong opinions for not being involved in politics. you’re a classic example of taking a headline for face value and assuming that it’s the truth. joe says march 3, 2022 at 4:47 pm you are not wrong’ the left have blood on their hands ‘ ie’ crimea ‘ ukraine ‘ if you dont know where that is’ all these snivvelling left wing mummys boys don’t or can’t handle a tiny little bump in the road called life ‘ all they do is point fingers & crawl back under their mummy tits’ to distance themselves for the trouble they cause ‘ just like a spoiled brat ‘ blame everyone eles apart from themselves’ typical left wing jelous maggots’ if they do not like it’ they do not want others to’ they believe everything & anything ‘ when it suits them’ bunch of little cowards ‘ pure & simple ? j says march 22, 2022 at 3:11 pm that’s some odd attitude about ukraine coming from a trumpie. your fearless leader tried to destroy nato and through ukraine and afghanistan under the bus with his appeasement. don’t rip on dems for being half as weak as your. “strongman” autocrat wannabe. anonymous says march 6, 2022 at 5:39 pm right on!! mark says march 9, 2022 at 9:21 pm at least the left does not have a pro putin russian branch. the rights claim to patriotism is a joke. republicans love putin and russia and hate america. tell me i’m wrong. nick eliopoulos says march 19, 2022 at 7:17 am you’re not wrong. it’s sick. cj says may 16, 2022 at 1:46 pm you are wrong bidens son is proof of whose in cahoots with china,russia,and lord only knows who and what else,you need to do some researching bud!!! anonymous says may 20, 2022 at 4:39 am million percent wrong. you must be living under a rock to still be blind. unreal the stupidly and uneducated brainwashed and you fall right into the lefts brainwash and manipulation corrupt tactics. go get your free crack pipes kit biden funded 30 million on……. they wanna keep their crack head left dumb. it works. wake up already anonymous says may 23, 2022 at 11:44 am ok   your wrong! there, i told you!! person#7 says march 7, 2022 at 10:52 am you are a loud mouth idiot. go back to grannies basement you lame. trump lives in your head rent free and he’s go a problem? thumb sucking sissy. i bet you really believe white people are the only ones who can be racist too. libs are brainless says march 9, 2022 at 9:12 am bro he scared off putin and kim jong un. as for your president, heres what hes done for our country. highest inflation if 40 years, gas prices doubling or tripling in price, he has the lowest approval rating then carter, supply chain problems still persist, what he did in afghanistan was a disaster, causing american deaths, supplies being abandonded and dogs being left in cages. don’t worry im not done yet, your president promised he would shut down the virus in his presidential campaign did he not? well turns out he said, “there is no federal solution to covid.” so that ended up as a lie. your president and his son made forever deals with china and made more deals with ukraine. 1.7 million migrants were arrested which is the highest we have seen. at this point i don’t why i try educating you low iq people. guest says march 9, 2022 at 10:33 am said the low life loser scumbag himself. cj says may 16, 2022 at 1:48 pm you are wrong bidens son is proof of whose in cahoots with china,russia,and lord only knows who and what else,you need to do some researching bud!!!what’s with all the first grader name calling? linda broady says march 21, 2022 at 7:55 pm you are lying about donald j. trump the great gg mcabbe says august 14, 2022 at 1:43 pm which of the lovely socialist countries you’ve listed has had open borders like the usand mark is very picky about who comes in ihatetheantichrist says february 25, 2022 at 7:02 pm sounds like you’re strawmanning ordinary people with opinions on venezuela as “the right”   like trust me bro i was never a right winger until enough obnoxious leftists started calling me one. i was left then centrist then you guys pissed me right out of the center, so what do you think is going to happen next? you lied to us and gaslit us about gamergate, pizzagate, trump, covid, the election… dude… there’s thousands of videos of election officials breaking the law in 2020, and you straight up gaslit us. after saying the election was stolen just four years prior. though in your case it was “stolen” because you don’t like rural america keeping its say over the increasingly alien city masses. whereas everyone else just wanted their vote counted the right way instead of being offset by dead people and midnight ballot drops. anonymous says march 1, 2022 at 5:02 pm stop trying to disenfranchise my vote with lies. mr. red, white & blue america! says march 20, 2022 at 5:52 am the only lies are the ones the communist left wingers tell, every time they open their mouths! it was communist scum like you that got people brainwashed and murdered in the 20th century! i’m glad i’m me (conservative) and not brainwashed communist filth like yourself!!!!! i;ll pray for you . . . you sound like you desperately need it, as do all dems & libs! anonymous says june 10, 2022 at 6:00 pm bs dogsgsnponies says march 2, 2022 at 9:19 am you are spot on   two thumbs up, bro! thank you. anonymous says february 26, 2022 at 6:21 pm amen! nick says february 27, 2022 at 5:19 pm the countries in scandinavia seem to have it about right. they’re more left wing than usa, of course. letsgobrandon says march 1, 2022 at 6:52 pm they are also more white. go figure tia says march 6, 2022 at 5:52 pm curious, what is wrong with being white? why are you upset that countries that you feel are better than the usa are white? maybe the white people did a better job. i don’t know, just found it odd that a better country in your statements are white and that is a problem for you. the french are predominantly white, as is german, italy, czechoslovakian, irish, etc. these are all ethnicities, all different each of them but get lumped in as white because for the most part they assimilated as americans. why does that bother you so much? pppdn says march 7, 2022 at 10:54 am what’s the racial make up of those country’s? don’t lie now. anonymous says february 27, 2022 at 8:40 pm my last hope!!!! “reverend joe”……. to read humanities history.. not the lies in our religions (king james version), not the propaganda from our teachers (led by other liars) and the false truths from our parents that we wanted so deeply to believe in. you are a reverend who should understand the faith in what you have given yourself to. to understand what is to come…. you must drop everything… even my hopes to you are but a droplet of water onto the leaf which the caterpillar eats to transform into the most beautiful butterfly. we are but earth bound creatures trying to fathom the power and source of god’s love. you must walk away (both mental/physical) from those who play the game of life/politics (karma’s wrath) and keep focus on those few who are ready to move forward and looking to the stars…… love and piece to all anonymous says march 7, 2022 at 10:26 am 👍 wayne harmon says february 28, 2022 at 1:00 pm venezuela is a land rich in resources that had in fact embraced socialism in their election of hugo chavez and a few years later, there is shortage of everything, unlike the free market capitalistic economies of sweden, finland, denmark and norway. they may levy very high taxes, but they are far from socialist democracies according to their governments. another more appropriate model is north korea, versus south korea. one has a very liberal capitalistic economy while the other is closed and government controlled. they are essentially the same ethnicity, but only one of them embraces capitalism and markets. one is taking over markets worldwide by serving greater needs while the other can even get along with free countries on the other side of the globe while the needs of its own people are seriously underserved. rob says september 27, 2023 at 12:30 pm interesting that no one here mentioning venezuela or cuba as failed examples of socialism happens to mention that the problems there are due largely to interference in their political systems and economies by the us, even to the point of repeated coup attempts and assassination attempts on their leaders. if we didn’t have our boot on their necks their fates may have been quite different. letsgobrandon says march 1, 2022 at 6:33 pm those countries you are citing are predominantly white. the only time you guys can come up with better systems than ours are countries that are more white than ours. patriot says march 5, 2022 at 6:30 pm you need to get over the white racist attitude bro. what’s so bad in your free american life? sounds to me like you are just pissed over your failures so you go get on the “ i hate white people horse” i’m so sick of every problem being blamed on race by you race mongers! educate yourself and you will find you live in the greatest country on earth. if you want to argue that then move. bet you won’t even consider that, huh? timmy says march 8, 2022 at 4:11 pm 👍🏻 wheelchairwesley says june 1, 2022 at 1:53 am i wish i could find a button to report you, for your racist posts. the first amendment of the united states of america’s constitution protects it’s people government censorship! many online platforms produce terms of service that prohibit racist language, plus the three or four most offensive words in the english language. the federal government, nor any us state government sanctions them. because, they are not legally allowed to do so. furthermore, if someone living in (or simply visiting) the united states writes on the internet, e mails or even writes in a paper letter, that they intend on killing (or maiming) a congressperson or state member or political candidate, they will receive a “friendly” visit from fbi agents. this is because they have committed a crime called sedition; sedition is a felony whereby you tell people   or lobby them to commit a violent crime! encouraging people to murder or assault sitting politicians or political candidates, is regarded, by civilised people, fans of politics, and politicians   in peaceful democracy in the world 🌎   as an attack on democracy itself!! bottom line; even in the united states, freedom of speech is not absolute!!! daniel sheeler says february 6, 2022 at 7:22 pm “why do leftists hate america?” the premise is false. i, as a leftest, am a counter example. i want very much for america to live up to its ideals which i love. like you said, america is not perfect, and you gave a good list of some big problems. like you also said, for all its problems, it’s one of the best nations in existence. “in any election, the overriding consideration in voting should be the political ideologies associated with candidates and the direction america should take.” agreed! “… is it: a. american conservatism, promoted by republicans and founded on biblical/christian principles that have resulted in the greatest country to have ever existed? or, b. democratic socialism, based on godless marxism that has resulted in catastrophic failure with over 100 million people murdered by their governments in the 20 th century alone, with millions more living in poverty and misery whenever and wherever it’s been tried? venezuela is a current example. ” firstly, this is a false choice because candidates can espouse lots of things besides your two(!) choices. libertarians exist, for instance, and they always run a candidate. even within parties there’s all kinds of disagreement. secondly, your description of democratic socialism is wrong. present day european states are examples of democratic socialism. they don’t commit mass murder in france, but they do have universal healthcare. what you described sounded more like totalitarianism. you and i both fear a state ruled by a dictator the likes of hitler in nazi germany (far right) or stalin in the soviet union (far left). i hate both hitler and stalin. the reasons i don’t want trump in power are too many to list, but one that should matter to you is that trump wants to be a dictator. he’s lawless and narcissistic. he prolifically lies (so much that truth stops mattering, as in totalitarian state described in the novel 1984). he doesn’t respect the outcomes of elections (even mike pence just said, that’s unamerican). at some point he claimed the constitution gave him the right to do whatever he wants, like a dictator. my wish is for you, me, and all americans is that we stop demonizing fellow americans. we can disagree about what will get america to where its ideals would lead, but we all want to get there. garrett says february 12, 2022 at 10:19 am trump is the best president we’ve had in the last several decades and joe is a lazy, crooked piece of shit and kamala is just a dumb bitch that couldn’t care less for america. where ever or who ever told you trump was a dictator (cnn?) are just leftist assholes. people who think like you are the same kinda people who are too ignorant to know if there male or female or that being a faggot is wrong but thankfully 90% of americans have better sense so fuck you and your america hating beliefs cyranobob says february 22, 2022 at 12:47 am well, i must say your articulate and objective statements condemning “leftist assholes” seem to be honest and well grounded in the basics of american democracy. especially referring to biden as a “piece of shit” and vp harris as a “dumb bitch”. 90% of us completely agree, of course. if only i could be as smart as you. joe moronic biden says february 24, 2022 at 10:33 pm it sounds like you are starting out with a strong iq of 1 so sat anonymous says february 25, 2022 at 7:04 pm your post sounds sarcastic but the funny thing about the bell curve is that midwits can’t the difference between genius and basic salt of the earth common sense. erik prince says february 28, 2022 at 9:10 pm i agree 100% and i would add that only a mentally insane person thinks there are more than two sexes, and joe biden has been a lying fraud and conman his whole life, he’s dumber than rock, but a professional lying con his whole life, and heels up harris only got where she is today because she sucked willie browns pecker, known fact, willie brown himself said it was the biggest mistake he ever made in his life, look it up, harris is dumber than rock, and the idiots who can’t admit to themselves that our country and everyone’s life was better under trump, is only lying to themselves and living in a delusion and not living in reality. whether you love trump or hate trump that doesn’t matter, he knew how to lead and we were all better off because of that. we don’t elect a president because of their personality, we elect a president who can do the job we hire him to do! an election isn’t a personality contest! betty hemphill says march 1, 2022 at 5:57 am right on!! i didn’t think for 1 second that trump couldn’t sweep the floor with biden/harris. that is why trump demanded an audit they should have had a real way to audit. after that election, i don’t believe i’ll vote anymore. i didn’t pay any mind to leftys before, but now i won’t even interact with any known democrats. you can’t get a word in edgewise their mouths are constantly spewing dem rhetoric at anything they see. like a tasmanian devil ranting at nothing. paul almgren jr. says february 12, 2022 at 6:12 pm you sir. are blind to think trump is any of those describe in your self risioust view piont. your kind of thinking inside your little box. trump may exaggerate a bitt,,,,,but piont well taken by 80+ millions that voted for him again. people can’t stand the truth,,and if you don’t understand the practical pionts,,,,then you,sir. mist it all!!!! it’s not about the little exaggerateions,,,it’s about the big picture. do you want america to be fed a bunch of real consequences lies into ,,,it’s to late to save us???? or get your head out of the sand and wake up,,and go back to school. look at the bigger pic. and do not be filled with all the blaiten lies the left have been doing for centuries to once and for,,distroy our nation!!!! from before the revolutionary war,,to the civil war,,the left has been wrong!!!!! please wake up!!! kyle h says february 28, 2022 at 9:54 am your suggestion that someone else needs to go back to school still has me rolling with laughter! anonymous says february 14, 2022 at 1:51 pm amen. b.l. says february 17, 2022 at 8:57 pm do you really think that we are that stupid.? our country is going to hell under that idiot president, who never knows where he is and cannot pronounce a sentence. and harris, please don’t say how wonderful she is., the most stupid woman of all. she has no business being vice president. she has never even done what her first job was. take care of the border.!!!!!! and i’m so sick of that phony laugh because she cannot answer a question. tell me what she’s done. biden/harris have let in so many diseases and drugs into our country. they need all of these illegal immigrants to be dropped off in the middle of the night in delaware and nancy’s grape vines in san francisco.. the democrats hate this country and want to see us as socialists. why don’t they just move to a socialist country, and leave us alone. they will never tell me what to do. and pelosi knew what was going on january 6th. she personally turned down president trump’s offer to send in troops if something was to happen, and she declined. she and the demo rats wanted this to happen and planned it. why else would she turn down help. i’m sick and tired of all of their lies, the russia collusion???? has now been blamed on who else? the biggest liar, thief, and phoney woman in american history, hillary clinton. what a surprise!!! and remember, biden said he would entirely get rid of covid immediately. liar!!! everything he has said has been a lie. he needs to be removed from office. and he is planning on running again????? god, help us all.!!!!!!! bob says february 22, 2022 at 12:53 am you are obviously the most well informed citizen i’ve ever heard speak. although i have to interject that these america hating democrats do not see trump supporters as ‘socialists’. they think you are ‘fascists’. what a joke, right? anonymous says february 25, 2022 at 7:05 pm lol @ your pathetic shallow mockery, you don’t actually have anything to say you’re just calling people dumb in a cowardly offhanded manner. barry barney says february 20, 2022 at 8:13 pm elections….what elections? they dont matter and thats been proven in all matters that deal with congress. otherwisethey would not be able to change the rules as they go. and would have to be accountable for their own lawbreakes. and there should be a law like our forfathers set forth as they should be hanged for missrepresentig our country and that is what makes america great. its because the people , you know “we the people” are no longer putting up with the bullshit congress and bring back the hanging of crooked polliticians. and stop thinking that our for fathers did not kno how to spell monticello. and start pronouncing it right. if it was to be montichello then that is how it would be spelled. so stop shitting in the faces of those extremely wise fathers of this nation . and start bucking up to be a great nation and fire the whole congress and make them accountable for all of their actions and all laws broken by them go twice as hard on them because they are in the position they are in they cannot hold any elections because we have seen what they do in elections. no wonder they are all always getting votedin pay raises. i cant believe we the people have let them get away with that disloyal bullshit for so long. we are the only ones that can stop their crap and its high time we do so . so kets get her done. look out you crooked lying polliticians it time for you to pay for your own injustices. anonymous says february 25, 2022 at 12:23 am i agree with you all people if punishment is needed the crooked and rich should not be above the law kevin cannon says february 27, 2022 at 3:44 pm i agree…..republican or democrat…..same bed 🛌 and answer to the same buearacrats. we need to stop voting for the 2 cronies they pick for us……and start another or two parties of our own……and get this pseudo   goverment out of the whitehouse while we still can. having no borders….you have no country. cyranobob says february 22, 2022 at 2:21 am daniel. i agree with most of what you say, yet mostly your last two sentences. the pure hatred of those who are not “like minded” from other contributors here is, sad to say, all too common nowadays. stay trough. thomas payne says february 22, 2022 at 6:20 am you are not right, in the head! america didn’t deserve trump; an outsider who brought out the total control democrats. may he be elected again so they can crawl under their rocks and die in solutude and leave us alone. thomas payne letsgobrandon says march 1, 2022 at 7:02 pm i agree with the first part of your statement. you sound more like a classic liberal than a leftist. trump is not a dictator though. for one you need a system backing you up in order to be a dictator. there was no such system backing him up to strip people of the rights but there is a system in place right now that is doing just that under biden. what a lot of people fail to understand is that trump might not of had good character but he put in place good policy. something we haven’t seen in this country in quite a while. rightwing stanjonesjournal says march 5, 2022 at 8:54 am what policy? name one. gregory smith says march 5, 2022 at 8:03 am amen sir! trump as well as whoever wrote this letter to the editor are morons or out of touch with reality! godless marxism is ridiculous but more ridiculous is republicans founded on biblical teachings if that was the case read gen. 2:7 in the bible and stop letting the ignorant southern states raping women, their rights and the constitution! mike says march 5, 2022 at 7:34 pm true leftists hate the usa. you are an exception or should i say a liberal. nothing wrong with being liberal but the hard left that is now in control hates the usa. you and others know this. freedom of choice is against their agenda. jb says march 21, 2022 at 10:59 pm mike, do you actually know any liberals or leftists. with a very few exceptions most love america, our form of government and the constitution. plenty including me are veterans. and regarding those thst don’t it’s sour grapes because this country isn’t living up to its promises and potentiial. contrast this with “conservatives” (really anti leftists or authoritarian trump and putin supporters… real conservatives are the despised romney and liz cheney.. the new gop lied about the outcome of the election, defied judgements of our courts, and actually attempted to overthrow the election and constitutional government on jan 6. the left doesn’t look so bad in that comparison. cindy jantz says may 28, 2022 at 2:51 pm job you are deceived! romney is no conservative! he’s a traitor! just like all of the rinos in the republican party! we need a new political party! one that is truly god fearing, and who understands that america was founded upon the holy scriptures: the inspired, inerrant and infallible word of the living god!! come quickly lord jesus! deliver your people from this sinful and increasingly more wicked world run by god haters!! keith iholts ii says february 6, 2022 at 9:08 am what an asinine and arrogant thing to say to people you are too scared to even talk to. i am a libertarian socialist and yes libertarians are actually socialists and the right stole our identity and twisted our arguments. we never said taxes were theft. using our tax dollars to pad the wallets of rich parasites, war criminals, and greedy corporations. we also said that profit is theft when you take the majority of wealth created by the masses and skim off the top. “and it is curious to note that from the slaves themselves they received, not merely very little assistance, but hardly any sympathy even; and when at the close of the war the slaves found themselves free, found themselves indeed so absolutely free that they were free to starve, many of them bitterly regretted the new state of things.”   oscar wilde the soul of man under socialism a hungry man is not a free man.   adlai e. stevenson “what good is having the right to sit at a lunch counter if you can’t afford to buy a hamburger?”   martin luther king jr. if we did not have an electoral college republicans would almost never win a presidency and in fact, would be a small party due to cheating, voter prevention, gerrymandering extremes, faux accusations of cheating which always results in the republicans being caught. taking corporate bribes, illegal wars, profiting off of eternal war while defunding our social safety net. you know who else is guilty of this though. the corporate democrats are dino’s. they are not left wing at all but republican lite. it is clear the republicans have reached the fascist state and have even been marching proudly in our streets and the lefts cry nazi and yet you still stay asleep and it won’t be long before they are no different than the evil nazi’s the first antifa of the american soldiers defeating the right wing hitler and his ilk. leftists have the most popular beliefs but fascist corporate media both claiming to be liberal and conservative pathologically lie to the public about what anyone really believes and bribes politicians to allow them to continue to lie to the public in favor of fascist corporations. nazis did not at the first start as they ended. they gradually gained control, they gradually increased the hate, the racism, and the abuse of the poor and less fortunate. america is on the doorstep of full blown fascism and you republican lites keep cheating in the elections as you cheated bernie sanders twice. let’s not pretend that to bribe all the politicians to drop out and endorse biden was cheating bernie sanders who was the most popular senator in america and joe was mostly hated like hillary who lost because she blatantly cheated, got caught and the courts ruled it was ok for democrats to cheat their own party. let’s not pretend biden is too not soft on joe manchin and kristine sinema who are criminals that are taking bribes to obstruct progress. biden needs to force them to change and he could do it if he wanted to. he could make their lives miserable as fdr did to the democrats when they were acting like republican scum bags. there is no saving the republicans and their party must be dismantled and belittled as criminals with all the republicans put in prison that did not impeach and imprison trump for treason. he could also use executive orders. he could also prosecute the companies giving bribes and doing a lot more but he sits on his hands and does nothing while every single penny that goes to real americans is stolen by rich brats that never work. rich people should not exist. wealthy with a couple million is ok but billions or hundreds of millions is not ok and how we ended up with epstein’s islands. the rich have constantly been caught with children and yet rarely are they punished and no billionaire has ever really been punished for their crimes. if you are too rich to be prosecuted for grievous crimes then you are too rich. landowners exploit the tenants with high rent and rip them off of deposit and use people’s love of animals to extort excessively large amounts of money out of people. they don’t work and most do almost nothing for their tenants who pay them to take care of the property but the property owner does not even do that. instead, most of our wages are stolen by greedy landlords. living off the ownership of property contributes absolutely nothing to the economy so they are effectively parasites and nothing more. far more than any potential damage most pets would cause. especially cats who do very little damage to a home. rent is a feudalistic term. capitalism is merely feudalism with extra steps and devolves into fascism when capitalism inevitably fails miserably as it constantly crashes until the rot and crime are so bad you end up with nazi germany, the republican fascist party of italy, and the japanese empire. being called a socialist is not an insult to us and we proudly bear the title but fascists and nazis are hated and are extreme right wing ideologies. giving poor people money so they can have a better life keeps them off the street, creates a safer society but rich people never have to worry about crime because they are not subjected to the horrors of poverty they inflict on us, police protect their neighborhoods while murdering innocent blacks in poor black neighborhoods whose crime was being black. the united states still has not paid the black community back for unpaid labor. why is it that the baby boomer generation who is the majority of these milk toast liberals and “moderates” (your extreme right wing pretending to be liberal), used to be socialist, loved socialism, and took advantage of all of it? you had affordable education, you had affordable healthcare, you had affordable housing, far more welfare yet the economy was actually far stronger with more welfare than with almost none as it is now, you had everything handed to you on a silver platter but as soon as it was the next generations turn you brainwashed generation x into being boot lickers and screwed every other generation after it and acted as if we don’t deserve to live a decent life. you pay the highly educated little and almost all the money goes into the financial sector which contributes nothing to the economy, steals from the workers and these people are parasites who contribute absolutely nothing to society and they take the most. when we got back at you and backed game stop and were about to cause billionaires to lose everything or almost everything, the robin hood scandal screwed over the poor, caused one man to commit suicide when he got a bill for several million dollars after robin hood and the government scammed the regular people so rich criminals could stay rich. this was an outright conspiracy of proving the rich control everything and we don’t have a democracy anymore. we have a maximum wage for disabled people who cannot have more than 2k in the bank but we have no limits for billionaires who don’t need that much money and should not have that much money as it enables them to have complete control of the country. the most unfortunate and often tortured souls who struggle with a sadistic system determined to screw over the people it was designed for making life miserable on disability and many on disability are threatened and attempted to be forced off disability need it for healthcare or we will die yet do you “liberals” care about us. no, you don’t and you wonder why we hate you. you wonder why we all hope you lose every single penny you have and end up on the streets like many of us have. you wonder why we want you afflicted with expensive and horrible diseases. we want you on our level and not the republicans level so you represent us instead of republican fascists. you milk toast neoliberals are a threat to our life and wellbeing. your existence prevents us from obtaining power but you know what? we are going to take over and all the conservative old baby generation is going to be left all alone and your final days will be miserable just like you did to your kids. i consider the baby boomer generation needing to be slipt in two in a unique way due to the severe difference in thought. the baby generation consists of self centered hypocritical rich, privileged troglodytes that voted for reagan who ruined america, and the boomer generation, the hippies that stayed hippies or later repented, the leftists who lost their right to vote due to unconstitutional drug laws and traps designed to give the right and excuse to take away the lefts right to vote. no one should lose their right to vote no matter what or else it’s a slippery slope and they will take everyone’s right to vote away and a person can vote for any way he wants but most of these laws target the behaviors of leftists in an effort to take away our voice in addition to the mainstream media heavily censoring us. the longer you keep us out of power, the worse things will be for you in the future because the more you take from us, the more we will take from you, the harsher we will punish you for your selfishness and the less we will allow you to have when you are old, feeble, and helpless like many of us have been. like many kids whose parents kicked them out in the middle of a pandemic, in the middle of winter because they are narcissistic and have untreated mental illnesses. face it. you rich spoiled egotistical, fascist right wing lunatics pretending to be liberal will be thrown out and we will have no mercy on you. we will kick out those extremist judges for criminal activity and we will take over and ensure the rich can never take over our nation again. we hate our government and what it represents, not the american people. leftists often feel pity for the ones we know who would be one with us if they actually knew what we really believed and the true history. we want more than fdr socialism. we want democratic socialism and we want to make europe look conservative to comparison. we want to destroy capitalism and replace it with a democratic socialist society where the grotesquely rich will no longer exist. there will be millionaires but not to the obscene extent we have today. “when the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich.”   jean jacques rousseau we are hungry, we are coming for our wealth. ms 1 says february 11, 2022 at 8:54 pm jesus   you need a cookie. cindy jantz says may 28, 2022 at 6:41 pm there’s no liberty or constitutional rights under marxism/socialism/communism/totalitarianism!! no rights except for their evil government officials! it’s a do what we say, but don’t do what we do ideology! i grew up with parents who had that evil philosophy! my mother was a backslidden roman catholic who had man made religion! but she was absent a true relationship with god through jesus christ! he failed to lead by example, because she was sadly a lost but religious and unrepentant sinner who needed to be born again of god’s holy spirit! paul almgren jr. says february 12, 2022 at 6:38 pm good luck with that pipe dream. look,,the facts are,,,the economy always gets better after a rebuplican takes office. it put everybody back to a good job so they can buy there first house,,so they can buy a newer truck,,so they can put food on the table,and go by a new tv. its simple!!!! everybody has a good job,,,if your willing to work,,,and with lower taxes,,,you can take that vacation,,,you can landscape your own house exc. there’s always gonna be people richer then you,,,but a rebuplican strategy is far better then relying on the biggest theft of all,,,,the government!!!!! sandy j. says march 1, 2022 at 8:28 am be honest paul, the republican “government” (republican strategy) allows you to increase your debt better? (trucks, bigger houses, cheap vacations, chicken in every pot) fact: historically, the united states economy has performed better on average under the administration of democratic presidents than republican presidents since world war ii. grimzby says may 22, 2022 at 2:58 pm “the economy always gets better after a republican takes office.” are you kidding?!? it’s no wonder the right wing are so easily led around by con men carny artists like trump. you must be forgetting george w.bush, who was responsible for dragging the economy into the deepest hole since the crash of 29. it’s funny how republican’s scream about socialism as they cash their social security cheques, while poor red states grab all the federal welfare dollars to prop up their failing states. stop the “sleepwalker” routine and wake up to the reality of what’s truly going on. steve borgwardt says february 21, 2022 at 1:55 pm geese, l hope you got all that trash out of your system! yes, lm a “baby boomer”. and yes uncle sam paid for my education. i spent 8 years in the usmc during a war and earned every penny of it. i won’t go into why i feel less than friendly to you. let’s just say that we have a hung difference of opinion.. steve borgwardt captain usmc. ps. i would like to know what era you are coming from so that l can better understand you. anon says march 19, 2022 at 11:34 am so you were too uneducated to get a real job and had to go into the service. your choice. you decided to go to school… your choice you pay for it. next jb says march 21, 2022 at 8:11 pm just gotta say, rev joe’s is the most sensible comment i’ve read here. instead of spouting hate and describing liberalism as all the venezuelan and stalinist things it ain’t, why not just harvest whatever good stuff you can find in it and add to the list of best practices for improving our nation. we should pass on a better country to the next generation. ideology of the left and right is a poison that limits what america can become. both sides have good and bad… so let’s just keep and improve on the good, and ditch what is hateful and bad. mil says february 24, 2022 at 8:32 am you are totally wrong. i am baby boomer generation born 1947. my parents came to this country from czechoslovakia before and after world war ii. they came legally. they had nothing. they loved their country, but needed freedom.  my mother’s first husband was a flier who died over the english channel and my dad was a freedom fighter against the germans. he could not stay in czechoslovakia after the war because the russians came and never left. they came with nothing. there was no health insurance. they worked at anything and everything. they cleaned houses and built furniture. they bought nothing if they did not have the cash. we had no credit cards. my dad told me this was the greatest country in the world and if i worked hard and studied hard i would have a good life. i did. i went to college and became an english teacher. stop crying. those that don’t know their history are doomed to repeat it. study your western civ. natalie says february 24, 2022 at 3:06 pm aww, you have so much anger and hate. you really need the lord jesus. he delivered me from anger and hate. and can do the same for you. aren’t you tired of having this heavy burden of anger that is really only a shield to hide your fears? jesus loves you so very much and can set you free to know his love. i will pray for you keith, that in this time when others are overwhelmed by the uncertainty of life that the lord will show himself to you in a very real way. you can have hope even in this time of global turmoil. kevin cannon says february 27, 2022 at 3:12 pm the repulicans and the deomocrats…..are one in the same……they all lie in the same bed and are controlled by the same bureaucrats…..let’s get real……socialism is nothing but pre communism……we all need to stop voting for the only two candidates and create a new parties…..and get this pusedo government out of our whitehouse before it is too late. cindy jantz says may 28, 2022 at 3:58 pm you are a blinded hateful god hater! while god created us all equal, he is no communist! we all are sinners in need of the only savior and messiah of mankind! god loves us, but he hates our sin and rebellion against him! god is holy and just! he wants to bless us, however when we continue to reject jesus christ and his inspired, inerrant and infallible word, we suffer from the consequences of our sin against him!! ask god to reveal himself to you, and seek him (jesus christ) with all of your heart! in his holy word!! ask him to save you from your sins! repent (turn from attempting to be your own god, and doing your own will)! proverbs 1:7 the fear of the lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools dispise wisdom and instruction. 22 how long, ye simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 turn you (repent) at my reproof: be, i will pour out my spirit unto you, i will make known my words unto you. 24 because i have called, and ye refused; i have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 but ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 i also will laugh at your calamity; i will mock when your fear cometh; 27 when your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 then shall they call upon me, but i will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 for that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the lord: 30 they would none of my counsel: they despised all of my reproof. 31 therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 for the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33 but whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. 2:1 my son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2 so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 3 yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 if thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 then shalt thou understand the fear of the lord, and find the knowledge of god. 6 for the lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 7 he layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. 8 he keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. 9 then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. 10 when wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11 discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep (guard/protect) thee: 12 to deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; 13 who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; 14 who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; 15 whose ways are crooked; and they froward in their paths: 3:1 my son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: 2 for length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. 3 let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: 4 so shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of god and man. 5 trust in the lord with all thine heart; and do not lean unto thine own (human reasoning) understanding. 6 in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the lord, and depart from evil (sin). 8 it shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. 9 honour the lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase: 10 so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. 11 my son, despise not the chastening of the lord; neither be weary of his correction: 12 for whom the lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighted. jerry says january 25, 2022 at 7:04 pm gerald, leave the country now and never come back. those who refuse to understand are not welcome. john hitz says february 4, 2022 at 6:36 am jerry, democrats are pretentious dummies who can’t get their facts straight and lie about it. the same truth applies to half baked socialists such as yourself. you are a part of the establishment, a phony compassion peddling delusional who can’t lead because of your mental deficiency needs. wake up. charles eggenberger says february 5, 2022 at 3:33 pm americans! when things go well, they bicker and find fault! but, when things crash, you won’t find a better class of people to dig your way out. you cans always depend on the congress and other politicians to screw it all up before they stumble into the right way if they do). whatever you do, follow the constitution and the intent of those that wrote it. whether we like it or not, this planet and the people on it will always be in a constant state of evolution. there are 300 million people in the usa (+  ). when they all die, where are they going to be buried? population increasing! running out of room! outa’ here. bye! an american citizen says february 17, 2022 at 9:21 pm biden is never right. let me repeat…. he is never right. he is was will be wrong forever. he is a moron. when the wind blows and biden turns his head you can hear a whistle. he’s 28cents shy of a happy meal & his cheese done slid off his cracker long long ago paul almgren jr. says february 12, 2022 at 6:49 pm right on jerry!!! the left just can’t see the forest,because of all the trees!!!! lol. somethings wrong with there dna,,,,,it’s like there in an alternate reality. there constantly causing problems,,,then wanna pat them selves on the back,,with a worse solution.. unbelievable and i had about enough!!!! jeff clark says february 15, 2022 at 11:51 pm it’s hilarious to hear individuals spout hatred under the guise of being a liberal socialist who rants on about the right and corruption while referencing the same tired quotes and stale talking points that have been used by every other self proclaimed leftist when they are unable to find any facts defend through its arguments like a child throwing a little hissy fit because they don’t get their little way and it’s not fair.. they’re bunch of people are too lazy to learn any fax it’s around the water cooler every monday listen to the one person who has no clue what they talked about yet he’s a most convincing because he never shuts up long enough to have someone question their facts or lack thereof. enter the 18% of people that actually think biden is capable of accomplishing anything that doesn’t involve china and millions in his family’s bank account except for protecting the borders of his family’s 2nd power peddling province whom they’ve received millions from also and that’s backed by facts just like the involvement of every top democrat thanks to hillary and friends fabricating and hacking into trump’s servers to rig the election and then went a step farther and hacked and fabricated lies on a sitting us president which involves all the democratic elites and should be considered the worst political crime in history it is reprehensible and straight treason they destroyed this country manipulating weak minded individuals in the believing their false narrative so when people have sex with in that sidei love you but until then i’m sure that is good bunch of bitching whining and crying is always cuz everytime i get caught it’s just not fair anonymous says february 25, 2022 at 2:29 pm longest run on sentence ever? nice work. the last couple lines need to be translated from crazy, though jb says march 21, 2022 at 8:29 pm those are some epic run on sentences! but you sure do believe some crazy stuff… you really shouldn’t blame hillary for trumps russian connections or the compromat that putin uses to control the donald. remember, thesteele investigation was originally funded by republicans. hillary just inheritted it. if you think there’s no russia connection, how do you explain paul manifort running trumps campaign? john hitz says february 4, 2022 at 7:47 am we understand that socialism is being tried now and is failing. that’s why democrats are going to lose the next two elections. ✌️ oh, and yes, the country was founded by bible believers. they just didn’t “incorporate” it in the constitution because they were not fascists, unlike elitists like pelosi. tom says february 9, 2022 at 6:31 pm your wrong. bfs were diests, dumb dumb. kevin says february 21, 2022 at 1:51 pm it’s very sad how the left has taken over the democratic party and believe government should be tearing down all that made this country what is is. history is history, societies do evolve and of course represent current ideologies. but what the left does is very wrong, and ii was a liberal until the left became extreme and overreaching. now i feel they are tearing the soul of this nation apart. i left the democratic party and have become independent but will not support any democrats as they have embraced the left and its extremists. mandates were the final straw for me, and my liberty is now i feel threatened by democrats and protected by republicans. borax ramidji says february 12, 2022 at 3:23 pm please send back your social security checks and get rid of your medicare card, stop using public roads and public parks, public schools and well, all the “socialist” stuff you say you are opposed to. then stop using the internet which was built with public funds, so we won’t have to read rubbish that you post. and while your at it, ask the donald to stop stealing top secret documents! donald baker says march 1, 2022 at 6:42 am where do you people get this shit? playboy? trump ran this country like a business. taking care of our employees first. borders? attempting to lock them up. it’s not that we hate foreign people. we want them to work as the citizens of any country should to bring about the changes that we also are desperately trying to keep a hold of. you need to watch life,liberty, and levin on fox news channel. quit believing everything you hear and see, and try to look at what is reasonable! can’t you make up your own mind? rob says september 27, 2023 at 12:58 pm there’s a certain irony in telling someone to watch something on faux and then saying “quit believing everything you hear and see, and try to look at what is reasonable! can’t you make up your own mind?” grimzby says may 22, 2022 at 3:11 pm stop making sense, that was too perfect. right now you have a bunch of sleepwalkers on the right confused beyond words. how could they actually be closeted socialists in denial of the reality of their own surroundings. john hitz says february 4, 2022 at 8:23 am in my opinion, understanding socialism leads to identifying it as a cultural and humanitarian disaster. so maybe socialists should let the rest of us improve the quality of life for more people. true democratic values, not marxist ones. cyranobob says february 22, 2022 at 3:47 am and in my opinion “understanding socialism” is a thing that most americans are incapable of. any institution, program or civic agency that is funded by tax dollars is a form of socialism. look at any state or city fire department, police department, public utility, etc. fully funded by our taxes, and answerable to no one. they own the buildings, the machinery, the vehicles, and pay all the employees, which includes staff and building facilities. this has evolved over the last 200 years. and it works for us. marxism? communism? uh, spend some time researching marx and engels. they were theorists who who fantasized a world that has never existed. i have run my own business for twenty years. that makes me a ‘capitalist’. name calling is easy. try using some rational and educated thought. just saying. no insult intended. anonymous says february 24, 2022 at 10:12 pm it’s the demos that are nazi and comies, and hate this country, not republicans, the demos want a dictator for pres. so he can kill our own people and stay in power, like putin timothy frank says january 25, 2022 at 1:40 pm mr. boyum’s initial premise itself is incorrect, that “… the leftist media … socialist democrats …” are conspiring against “… christian … conservatives …”. disassembling the rest of his tirade, such as “… christian principles …” etc; likewise, incorrect. nothing in the constitution, or the declaration of independence, suggests that the nation was founded upon christian principles. quite the contrary. i suggest mr. boyum spend a relaxing saturday afternoon at his local library, find a copy of the constitution, and read it. hugh jardon says january 21, 2022 at 9:17 pm wanna bet that gerald is an obese redneck that drives a truck? jackie alexander says january 26, 2022 at 2:23 pm well aren’t you a self important little man! soulsqwusher says january 27, 2022 at 6:16 am wanna bet that hugh where’s a mask when alone in his car and isn’t sure what gender she is? harry zimm says february 1, 2022 at 7:54 pm ‘wears’ little man, not ‘where’s’. sarah jane says january 31, 2022 at 2:14 am you read my mind, hugh. as i laugh at the snowflakes with maga hats their brand of civics (hate). there aren’t enough of them and their white biblical grievances that anyone is listening anymore. for hundreds of years they have “decided what is best for the rest of us”, guess what? we outnumber them now and will fight like hell to vote them out. they don’t want to grow a party with inclusiveness nor do they stand for anything but obstruction and divisiveness, they don’t even know when they are being astroturfed! they just don’t want the rest of us to vote them out because it’s way over due for change from this incarnation of the gop (you know they are stuck when they stick up for dictators). my one and only new years resolve this year, is to get as many people as i can signed up to vote everywhere. despite the suppression, plan your vote. i know it takes time but use many news sources for information. local papers are the best so keep them alive with subscriptions. john hitz says february 4, 2022 at 8:10 am you haven’t got a chance. get a life. democrats party politicking is for losers. john hits says february 12, 2022 at 3:25 pm many people say the “john hitz” is not a real person. jon hittz says february 25, 2022 at 2:37 pm identify theft is a serious crime, friend an american citizen says february 17, 2022 at 10:00 pm yep! you are excellent & american for sure. fyi & his minions, oh god especially pelosi the mouth without a brain ( but does my hair look nice?) biden is never right. let me repeat…. he is never right. he is, was, & will be wrong forever. he is a moron and reminds me of mr. magoo notching at everyone cause he’s cranky, doesn’t know where he’s going or has been & his done so many ugly things that there isn’t enough space here to type them all out. i’m just flabbergasted that he has become our president after all the bullshit this man has done. he’s got to be the worst president ever that i truly wonder how it is this nightmare came to be. he’s destroying usa as the entire world watches & laughs. he is the beginning of the end. and america, really? biden? why? he is the biggest racist, the biggest liar, plagiarizes his a.. off & couldn’t come up with a viable idea to help america if his life depended on it. he’s so out to lunch & lost it amazes me anyone would even want this man to run our country. he’s undone every good thing trump accomplished.half the time he isn’t even aware he is the president. and the way he threw anita hill under the bus. all this guy does is f… stuff up & then say “i’m sorry” & people go oh poor guy. i don’t want poor guy i want usa back, strong military, fortified borders, come yes but do it legally because what’s happening now will be the end of usa. biden you are mr. magoo,cranky,lost, causing big problems in your aftermath & half the time you aren’t even aware. when the wind blows and biden turns his head you can hear a whistle. he’s 28cents shy of a happy meal & his cheese done slid off his cracker long long ago. and pelosi omg don’t let me get started. lets just say it’s mouth is big & it’s jealousy runs a muck, it can barely articulate clear concise words that have value &meaning and most of all lacks truth. you could care less about american & the real important issues. you & your minions have wasted so much money & valuable time searching for bullshit that doesn’t & never has existed that you forgot about usa. . and your hair & botox are at the forefront of your concern. congress has been so embarrassing that it feels like they should be in the comedy network except its not funny. the main stream media is mainstream evil & liars. they never bother with truth. what is wrong with everyone? can’t you think for yourselves. f madonna, rosie, ashley, etc etc movie stars aren’t always the best place to go for facts…. they’re actors ok? hey america, find out for yourselves f the internet & tv & actors media etc with their agendas. open your eyes, dig a little into the history and open your mind about the truth instead of believing these people. you are your government really so act like it & do what is right but do it with effort in finding the truth. you will be shocked. i’m not leaning either way. i just don’t want people blindly going along with bullshit & lies cause it impending doom for us without knowledge of who the person(s) really is & stands for when you cast your vote. may god continue to bless america & every human on this planet. peaceunity equality hope for a better world bill hartman says february 6, 2022 at 2:05 pm sarah, one can’t expect degenerate leftist single cell amoebas to look beyond their communist viewpoint and anything the deviates from the cultural marxist revolution underway in this country now. atheistic left wing communism is the most murderous ideology the world has ever known with over 150 million people killed in approximately 100 years (e.g., lenin, stalin, mao, pol pot, castro, kim jong il/un, ceaușescu etc….). the fact that we have elected democrat leaders and government officials that identify as marxist and/or communist is outrageous. left wing degenerate marxists/communists destroy all that is good in a society. hate, murder and torture are signature features of the extreme left. the left wing dictators and their socialist/communist utopias of the 20th century (and still today) exemplify that. your ideology brings nothing of value. randy mcfarland says february 20, 2022 at 10:42 pm not my mainstream media! anonymous says january 17, 2022 at 11:46 am gerald boyum you are on some serious drugs. what did the republicans come out with their own bible? the bible does not talk about politics so get your story straight and grow a brain. linda carbone says january 20, 2022 at 9:40 pm the bible speaks about our government ? even telling us to pray for them. so you are incorrect. janet hastings says january 24, 2022 at 12:43 am brian the only thing i’m going to reply to in your comment is about god’s word the bible as you know it. when you said there’s nothing in the bible about politics i thought you must never read about king herod, pontius pilate, all the political leaders even the faults godly people who kept going to pontius pilate and then rome it’s all political but the bottom line is god himself says when he comes back again he’s placing the government upon his shoulders he will ruin rain. so please don’t say politics is not in the bible daniel e. simmons says january 25, 2022 at 2:02 pm i realize this comment was directed to gerald j. boyum, how about his main subject matter, “why the left hates america and trump”. it’s easy to obfuscate and make it about a benign issue in the article and not about the authors actual subject:why the left hates america and trump. it is so difficult to debate anyone associated with a democrat party these days, when we talk factual objective subject matter. it’s not about being right it’s about the principle of truth. and seeking truth. danlel says january 24, 2022 at 11:31 pm the bible is full of countries and places that were showed what was bad what happened when they went astray from the word of god there so don’t say that the bible doesn’t talk about countries principalities and everything steven m phares says january 27, 2022 at 8:20 am i only hope that donald trump should be hung out to the public and slowly stone him to death he does not desirve to breath the same air as we di he is fucking pure fucking evil to the core and should be put down like a rabbit dog period and nothing else will do for me in fact if i could slit his rotten fucking throat and feel good about it capach ill take up a collection to murder him myself donate to me and see if i van kill him. anonymous says february 1, 2022 at 9:06 pm steven m. phases, you need to seek mental health counseling.. anonymous says february 4, 2022 at 8:20 pm trump is a scumbag and his scumbag friends showed who they are!!! darryl gora says february 6, 2022 at 12:24 pm you’re obviously the product of weak parents and then you’ve been further dumbed down by the propaganda machine anonymous says february 12, 2022 at 6:54 pm you are a complete morron and should be sentenced for life!!!! grow up dude!!!! anonymous says february 15, 2022 at 6:18 am report him to the united states secret service. ron harding says march 6, 2022 at 3:57 pm tds seriously! isham t bagley says january 25, 2022 at 3:21 am thank you for calling this guy out. considering when it was written, and when i’m finding it, it would be no shock to learn of him being among the anti american insurrectionists that stormed our nation’s capitol on jan 6, 2021. james v larson says january 25, 2022 at 9:27 pm that wasn’t an insurrection.. evidently you don’t read.. cuz you certainly don’t know the definition of insurrection. and you don’t pay attention and you have no idea what really happened at capitol. better to keep quiet about things you know nothing about than open your mouth and prove it anonymous says february 5, 2022 at 6:57 pm james, here is the definition of an insurrection. the definition looks accurate to me. do you know what the definition of an insurrection is? everything i have read and video’s i have watched lead me to say with out a doubt it was an insurrection by definition and the actions taken. in·sur·rec·tion: a violent uprising against an authority or government. definitions from oxford languages anonymous says january 25, 2022 at 9:32 pm that wasn’t an insurrection by any means. jeff hebb says january 30, 2022 at 7:16 am there was no insurrection!! and not 1 single person has been charged with that!! it was a small group that rioted, and went against president trump’s clearly stated order to peacefully protest… jeff says january 25, 2022 at 9:32 am you have a lot of nerve responding to this after conservatives were proven right once again. this nation was founded on christian principals, that is a fact. he never said the bible talked about politics a lot. skum says january 26, 2022 at 9:33 am yup like burning of heretics, enslaving and forcefully conversion of the blacks, all christian values. marco says january 28, 2022 at 4:31 pm “this nation was founded on christian principals, that is a fact” this is in, in fact, not a fact. it is actually a blatant lie. please learn basic american history and stop lying on the internet. gl says january 29, 2022 at 10:09 pm you gotta love those christian principals, the that all but wiped out the native indians and believed in slavery. i’ll pass. if you europeans don’t like american go back to that shit hole country you came from and fix it! sound familiar?

i know your answer .you dont you have to be stong mineded to succeed you don’t. now as you were saying? renny oko says january 8, 2022 at 12:18 pm please forgive, requesting a group hug. my perception is no justice in america .as a congressman intent that is impossible to prove is there legal standard, immunity. turmp is an admitted womanizer, loves his beautiful daughter and seems to lust for her. instead of paying off on contractual obligations, he search’s for easily paid off judges to seek a win in bankruptcy. that is not a correct business model. they all said what a criminal trump was while in offfice, and it cannot be true as no federal charges filed. that indicates sweet joe, nancy,chuck and all politicians are criminal and corrupt. sweet joe used his in office to get his son hunter a no show job for a million a year. i think that is proof of corruption, now sweet joe is president and financed by the big big banks that he helped as a sitting us senator, also gave a gift of 66 billion to amtrak an insolvent bankrupt federal agency. more proof of self serving corruption. my fellow friend says trump is a genius don’t care about the details of of politiks and when is joe going to send another stimulus check and how much, then follow that with a request to donate to his campaign. justice for common folk isn’t the same for a white collar criminal. no level of what was your intent when you stumbled they only say his intent was not to lie cheat and steal. i wonder if the government thought this virus may help us cull out of our world some undesirables, and now two full years of grief dealing with a pandemic, damn it worked better than we calculated, damn it now that too many are dead and wages are bumping up a bit, and recession is north of 7%. will the cdc or university’s going to put this genie back in the bottle, i betting no,it’s here to stay,just like political corruption and massive incompetence. i have laid all my unloaded weapons on the front yard, hands raised above my head and know that when the authorities show up and knock as i open the door and turn my back they will shoot me cause they were scared i kept a loaded gun inside, it will be a legal kill never mind no gun inside all in front yard, but it’s legal cause they were scared makes it legal for police. stlll waiting for a hug anonymous says january 16, 2022 at 7:48 pm interesting……when is your psychiatrist appt.? autumn t carney says january 21, 2022 at 9:33 am actually we are wondering when yours is? the democratic party our the federalist. the party of slavery. the party that lies and is undeniably wicked!!!! if you vote democrat you are voting for no freedom & a socialist country where government is in complete control. that is a horribly way to live. just research the ccp and their authority ways. if you live in the usa you should be thanking god & respecting your country. too many people in the us that do not belong here. id suggest turning to god and repenting. every knee will bow…including yours!! we are living through revaluations & the time to get right with god is now anonymous says january 31, 2022 at 2:30 am funny how your rights “trump” (sorry for the expletive) everyone else’s. trump was a live circus act complete with a clown car and carnival barker, he gave those that walked around with white grievance (gop) an excuse to put your hate on display, it shows your true feelings and let’s the rest of us know just who you are. the first coup was a dress rehearsal by the incompetent crew. next time, they may have someone with better manners to usher in the autocracy. never forget hitler was elected on a nationalistic platform. you can read it in the books that are left in the libraries if they haven’t been banned and burned by those afraid of getting their feelings hurt by the truth. anonymous says october 20, 2023 at 2:56 am yes yankee doodler says january 28, 2022 at 1:06 pm sometime before renny’s and that’s evident because someone sincere about his aspirations would certainly be proud to say who he is and how to establish a dialog with him. fortunately when trump wins the white house in 2024 he will call out the haters of our democracy and silence known haters of the americań dream. patriotic name says february 25, 2022 at 3:00 pm will he be president of the prison comb over club? linda carbone says january 20, 2022 at 9:42 pm please stop taking cnn, talking points to be facts. clair hoffman says january 28, 2022 at 11:56 pm your views seemed based on some odd fantasies. i would seek medical attention when you feel a little more relaxed and calm down the voices in your head. good luck jeff hebb says january 30, 2022 at 7:50 am your leftist delusions cloud your mind, and are in definite need for psychiatric help. most men from that age group were infatuated with women and still are! they just aren’t as revealing about it. and that label. “womanizer”, was put on president trump by corrupt socialist democrat politicians who were trying to win an election! and i do feel the need to point out that it’s very well proven that biden is a racist, and is very clearly a paedophile, as was bill clinton…just sayin in the immortal word of our lord jesus christ: he that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone….. anonymous says february 3, 2022 at 2:39 pm lol are you aware trump got ivanka 44 trademarks in china in his first year , and you are worried about hunter , koolaide gone to the brain chipster says february 6, 2022 at 6:24 am they hate trump because he exposed there corruption. the $$$ they steal. the dirty politicians should all be in jail. on the same cell block lemon demon says january 7, 2022 at 7:15 pm crap forgot 2 add homestuck.com 2 my other comment read it it has soooooooooooo many cishet conservatives anonymous says january 16, 2022 at 12:43 am cishet no u mean straight refular people not homoets mark says january 23, 2022 at 10:28 am covfefe!!! anonymous says january 31, 2022 at 2:32 am lol 😉 lemon demon says january 7, 2022 at 7:14 pm idk i think this whole politician thing is kinda gay. y u arguing w a man…?

john hitz says february 4, 2022 at 7:56 am yeah, sure looks that way. you can always tell when the word “nazi” is used by tds sufferers that they’ve found a home on the web. try calling joe a nazi. won’t show up. linda carbone says january 20, 2022 at 9:46 pm amen to that ! trump's underage victim says february 12, 2022 at 11:21 am individual rights just as long as you go to the same church as me and vote the same way and watch the same cable news. individual rights as long as you adhere to strict binary gender terms and never use a preferred pronoun even if someone asks politely. i’ve never met a conservative that has original thought. y’all walk around with tiki torches chanting the same lame words. you vote for someone who has been accused by at least 26 women for sexual misconduct. get real american says january 7, 2022 at 5:10 pm the only one that is pushing socialism bullshit is the ignorant damocraps that don’t even have a brain. it is called cranial rectal inversion. better known as head in ass disorder. and i sure am hoping this so called civil war starts soon i will be there. you communist bastards go to china where you belong and those ignorant damocraps politic and this crooked ass government should be in prison and standing in line at a firing squad. that is the very best thing to do with you communist . the only good commie is a dead commie. yaya says january 19, 2022 at 7:47 am obviously you are an idiot. who uses words like democrats? linda carbone says january 20, 2022 at 9:49 pm amen to that !i couldn’t agree with you more. thank you for your comment. clair hoffman says january 28, 2022 at 11:59 pm linda your meds are ready. take them with food. darryl says february 6, 2022 at 12:38 pm i agree 👍👍 wholeheartedly !!! the only good communist scum 👺👿🤡💀 is a dead communist scum!!! anonymous says january 12, 2022 at 9:55 am 😂the only holocaust coming is the marxist demonrat party 🔥😁. randy roberts says january 21, 2022 at 11:52 am tds= trump derangement syndrone. there is a mental health facility not too far away from you. just call them, they can help you. zack says december 17, 2021 at 11:38 pm you people are all losers fighting back and forth about what party is better. your comments or feelings won’t change anything in america. the only way you can have influence america is if you have power like musk or bezos. unfortunately money and power can reshape a country. if not, prove me wrong. just live your life and be happy. people will always hate other people over different political views, unless you sit down and have dinner or a drink with each people from different parties without talking politics. then the world is doomed. people can get along great untill they have different political beliefs. which is sad. government should have limited powers and let everyone live free. jack says december 27, 2021 at 11:24 am democrats are the most intolerant bunch of fs i have ever seen… and not very bright either.. nazi killer says january 3, 2022 at 2:05 pm republicans are strait up nazis. no longer american. they are all traitors. american says january 7, 2022 at 8:59 pm amen . only good commie is a dead commie jeff hebb says january 30, 2022 at 7:56 am you would be the racist and traitor to our country, and our constitution!! that is the fact with all socialist marxist democrats, and all their corrupt socialist politicians… allan cohen says january 4, 2022 at 10:39 am agree and disagree their are enough no nothings on both sides and always will be.let every one speak and go on and lead by example. lou says january 5, 2022 at 2:29 pm says a mouth breathing nazi. yeah, people will def listen to you. idiot deplorable. irish mike says january 7, 2022 at 8:38 pm first time on this site….this comment caught my eye. very judgemental of you….you can’t just throw 50 percent of the country in one bucket and say they are intolerant fucks and not very bright…that is just intellectually dishonest. might you be a trumper by chance? linda carbone says january 20, 2022 at 9:55 pm and you must be apart of the party of haters, aka democrats ? i honest to god almighty don’t understand why there’s so much anger hatred towards president trump supporters ? it’s honest to god almighty sad very sad 😥 god almighty says february 25, 2022 at 3:22 pm linda does not represent me. i’m a democrat (and fictional) shane says december 28, 2021 at 5:45 pm unfortunately the county is divided, there is no, and never will be this “ equality” that these leftist idiots keep screaming about. some people are just better off than others, doesn’t mean i have to give someone half my stuff. same with crime… which mostly perpetuated by blacks, doesn’t mean i’m a racist… it just a damn fact, just check the fbi stats or visit any prison in america;) as for politicians… they’re all crooks, i just think the democrats are bigger crooks with no soul. and i believe we should bring back the guillotine ( with no basket) for political traitors! anonymous says december 29, 2021 at 5:33 am i hope we do have many more low life needy billionaires leeching off society in the future. john jameson says december 29, 2021 at 5:23 pm your right. the only problem is conservatives feel that way, while the leftist elite marxist are hell bent on changing america from what you just wrote, to their way or no way which is to turn this great country into another police, marcist, socialist, communist regime. you cant sit down and converse with people like that. in the old days we had differences, but we all thought on the same line of freedom, capitaism, and america first, now its just tear down and rebuild america to their way of thinking, it just wont work. you have mainly one side of thinking small govt. and leave the people alone, and the other side, saying, lets dig in and rule people from cradle to grave, there is no moderate anymore. sure in the public there’s a few, but in the upper elites and people that’s bought into it, there’s not. so how do you reconcile with people like that? you dont, if you believe in a constitutional, bill of rights, and they don t anymore, you cant have a normal america first conversation with them. i wish we would get back to that, america first and true patriotism on both side, but im afraid those days are gone. kib says december 12, 2021 at 3:26 pm this is an utterly circuitous argument, not to mention narcissistic as hell. what i’m reading: “this country is a great place for me, and therefore the appropriate action and attitude from everyone else is defending that status quo.” really? that’s what everyone else should be striving for, to keep it great for you, even if making it slightly less great for you personally would benefit millions who don’t have it as good as you do, millions, or perhaps the entire earth? i can understand why you desire this, but how you could argue with a straight face that it’s the right, godly and just course of action for all of humanity is beyond me. concerned us patriot says december 16, 2021 at 8:49 pm our and i say our country is controlled by the big machine. we as citizens have the right 2 express our opinions. unfortunately our thoughts and ideas r stiffened. raymond wilder says december 24, 2021 at 8:53 am because the great way it is and has been is what allows you to even write the comment you just did. it wasn’t you that created this advantage nor was it your idealism . nolan market says december 28, 2021 at 1:09 pm what is an example of how a country turning socialist or communist has ended up benefiting millions of people, as you say it would? the whole idea of taxing the rich to improve life for the poor only works for a short period of time, because the more you tax the rich, the less rich they become, and eventually there are no more rich people to tax. as they say: communism fails because eventually you run out of other people’s money. it is okay for people do achieve incredible wealth, victory, success, and greatness. it doesn’t mean they are narcissists, it means they did something great. i invite anybody who thinks socialism and communism are superior options to capitalism to take a look at a list of the most important inventions of the last couple of centuries and look at what country they were invented in. you will find that the united states is responsible for an incredibly vast majority of them. enterthefray says january 19, 2022 at 12:22 am are you rich? if not (i’m talking billionaire rich, lots of billions :), than you should ask a billionaire. try warren buffet. he disagrees with you very much. don’t have the link handy, but it’s him, charlie munger (his partner) and bill gates discussing this very subject. i’m thinking they have a better handle on this than you and i. warren buffett: “the haves, can afford to take care of the have nots.” his words.> pbs interview. catherine seven says december 30, 2021 at 10:37 am entitlement. that’s how. this shit is getting old says january 3, 2022 at 9:43 am at this point i hope they do divide the country. look at how many liberals/progressives who have fled ny and ca because of the policies the extreme left has put in place that ruined the places they lived. give these people exactly what they voted for and then don’t let them into states where people are realistic and know how to critically think before they make decisions so they can suffer the consequences for their arrogance and idiocracy. anonymous says january 13, 2022 at 3:30 am very well said. i love to see them becarful of what they wish for next time. to much has been surfaced for anyone to know there something in the woodshed. i’m feeling very disgruntled how some of our government has been abel to buffalo over half the peopel in usa. (that is if we had a honest election) is it possible? or was it possible that over half the people in us are that stupid?? ether way how did bidden ever become a candidate or was that the best democrat party had? i think wow , whats the conspiracy or gole of this party? also wiggles my mind about poloski. i’m thinking her good ideas been long gone. is it only control or power now days and not whats best for our country and people in it?

bettye june ferland says january 16, 2022 at 8:16 am amen!! nalduc says december 9, 2021 at 10:36 am there is only one solution for all the mayhem ; every last fucking jew on this planet must be exterminated with extreme prejudice, no exceptions. only then will this world know peace. hitler was the bravest man who ever lived and the fucking jews know it. it’s why they still smear him 85yrs later. it’s time we get this job done, now. buddy joe the plumber says december 11, 2021 at 2:52 am don’t forget about the phony republicans like mitch mcconnell who hates trump. anyone who speaks out against trump is evil! john says june 3, 2022 at 11:35 pm yeah that liz henry is pretty evil for supporting the constitution rather than the wanna be “dear leader.” trump envies kim jong un, mbs and putin for their unrestricted power and freedom to imprison or kill anyone who disagrees with them. if only that was me, says trump…. longing for his lost presidential immunity from prosecution or even investigation. anonymous says june 3, 2022 at 11:36 pm liz cheney…. for the record. john says june 3, 2022 at 11:37 pm liz cheney…. for the record. anonymous says december 11, 2021 at 11:43 am people around you are stuck with you for minutes. you stew in you poison 24/7 . the palliative of hate will never relieve your self inflicted pain. rob says december 11, 2021 at 4:01 pm hitler is now doing more for germany as fertilizer that he ever has when he was living and breathing. in life, hitler was an effeminate pansy who lived a closeted gay lifestyle, masked only by a wicked bloodlust. he was a man’s man for sure, and a failed artist, which is why he hated the jews. only an antisemitic goose stepping moron would worship a guy like that. thankfully he committed suicide before anyone else died at his command because i don’t believe that the brain syphilis would have killed him fast enough. anonymous says december 28, 2021 at 4:16 pm complete fagot bettye june ferland says january 16, 2022 at 8:18 am amen!!! anonymous says december 16, 2021 at 2:29 pm this is perhaps the sickest thing i have ever read. john says june 3, 2022 at 11:26 pm where to start? maybe by asking if this idiot ever met a leftist? i have an american flag flapping outside my house and never miss an election. and probably unlike the letter writer, i paid attention in middle school civics class. hardly a hater of america. or why do i hate trump? because trump is the embodiment of every bad thing you can say about this country and none of the many good things….. trump is greedy, self centered, lies constantly, belittles and disrespects everyone who doesn’t kiss his a$$, he is totally ignorant of american history and the notion of the common good. he is a tax dodger. he swindled people with trump university and fake charities. he talks populism but delivers tax cuts to the super rich and the court system to the extreme right. also he tried to steal the 2020 election (and is still trying today) and tried to overthrow the vote befor and on jan 6. on top of that trump polished putin’s nob for 4 years and longs to become an anti democratic autocrat for life just like his russian “top” oh and let’s not forget how he weakened ukraine at putin’s behest and tried to break up nato. or should i talk about the author’s ignorant view of the world? democratic socialism is not communism. marxist leninist communism is on a par with right wing naziism and fascism that trump seems to support. that’s your real threat to america. meanwhile not one person has been exterminated, starved or imprisoned by bernie sanders and those who think like him the world over. instead, places with a ds agenda have elections, capitalism, and sufficient taxation to take care of the needs of people that are i’ll served by capitalism:. capitalism is great at delivering our wants, but sucks at delivering our needs: health care, housing, education, living wages. vienna doesn’t have skyrocketing housing prices turning the middle and working classes into homeless people living in their cars. my home city in the usa does. let’s quote teddy roosevelt’ (despite pricing that reflects the gold standard.): if your mom bakes a pie and can only sell it for a penny, which also is her cost, but the buyer then turns around and sells it for 10 cents and pockets the profits, is your mom getting a square deal? the gipper says december 16, 2021 at 10:04 pm ok charlie manson jennifer adams says december 18, 2021 at 11:01 am is this ‘naiduc’ a real person? if so, is (he?  just guessing) serious? if so, where is the outrage? i can’t believe anyone could spew these words with no (other than anonymous) objection. i thought there was freedom of religion in the us.’ there is obviously freedom to hate. who is this ‘naiduc’?’ just a troll? first they came for the socialists. richard marx says december 31, 2021 at 1:09 am naiduc is par for the conservative course. bettye june ferland says january 16, 2022 at 8:20 am amen!!! mike king says december 17, 2021 at 8:01 pm as my brother used to say whenever he talked to morons like you, er why? p.s. if you really are just kidding then kudos because you really have me convinced that you are a psychopath that should be confined to a looney bin until you can manage to act sane long enough to trick someone into letting you out to walk around with our children. eb says december 20, 2021 at 2:22 pm excuse me? is this “doctor” mengele. jew for jesus here and i’m proud enough to fight for it. go back to your world over 100 years past now, we are moving forward!! hate is not our race. bettye june ferland says january 16, 2022 at 8:28 am amen!!! hn says december 21, 2021 at 7:57 pm dear mr nalduc if you believe what you just said you are not a real nice person , you sound like the biggest moron of 21st century pure human hater , god will deal with you his own way , your garbage juden says december 21, 2021 at 8:28 pm i’m sure this is just trolling, but incredibly i’ll humored. if not…ha! you can try, but you’re not going to get the results you’re hoping for there, buddy. bring it on, we’ve gotten pretty damn good at whoopin ass. haha! hitler was an idiot with charisma, who knew how speak to the masses and sway them. antisemitism started long before because the catholic church denounced jews, go figure the cc did something terrible to a group of people. germany was in debt after getting beat in ww1. nazi’s used antisemitism to gain property, businesses, and finances by stealing it from jews. (sounds familiar) juden says december 21, 2021 at 8:31 pm i’m sure this is just trolling, but incredibly i’ll humored. if not…ha! you can try, but you’re not going to get the results you’re hoping for there, buddy. bring it on, we’ve gotten pretty damn good at whoopin ass. haha! hitler was an idiot with charisma, who knew how speak to the masses and sway them. antisemitism started long before because the catholic church denounced jews, go figure the cc did something terrible to a group of people. germany was in debt after getting beat in ww1. nazi’s used antisemitism to gain property, businesses, and finances by stealing it from jews. (sounds familiar) anonymous says january 10, 2022 at 3:14 am you are an ignorant moron and is the soul person that needs to be exterminated along with anyone else that thinks as dumb and evil as you. now your fate is sealed with god. have fun with that, you devil. david sharp says january 11, 2022 at 5:49 pm its hard to preach unity in this country when our foundation and government is based on divison. abolish the pary system, only allow elected officals to run only one term. its a start… zedrich ederech says january 30, 2022 at 6:37 pm i’m glad to see that there are more people who are aware of what is really going on with the world, and who is really controlling and running this turd show of a clown world. think critically, think logically, read between the lines, follow the money, questing the existence of fiat currency, central banking, debt and usury, seek out the truth that they so desperately try to censor and hide by using their overly abused victim cards… …and you will see the matrix for what it really is, and not for what it strives to look like. ariella rosenberg says december 9, 2021 at 6:42 am venezuela is an example of the first option, with american conservatism promoted by republicans and founded on biblical/christian principles resulting in what venezuelans believe is the greatest country to have ever existed, as the entirety of the world clearly sees the contrasting truth which is that biblically political venezuela is unable to outdo the marxist, socialist societies which they aim to outdo in the delusional, false belief that this will bring economy gain and global advantages. their driving cause for devoting themselves to outdoing marxism is due to their jealousy of colombia’s inventive creations and success in business as well as jealousy of the colombian/american alliance. please change this for your own credibility,  otherwise your sincere, cutely naive and creative interest on this topic will be overlooked as inaccurate and irrelevant.  once again, the facts must be addressed which is that 1) you lost the fight regarding “superior ethics in immigration” when you lost the second term of trump’s presidency and 2) venezuela has become this way through the first concept, which is  creating an economy and society by following biblical, christian principles  which should not be mixed with business, since numerous other religions are involved in american and international business and do not have the same beliefs regarding this stance on the bible. the vin art says december 6, 2021 at 1:53 pm i think is sort of what happening in india. keep updating. anonymous says december 22, 2021 at 4:41 pm def 😡 ms collection says december 5, 2021 at 7:20 pm it was indeed very depth research. looking forward to having more from you. keep updating. spaghetti says december 2, 2021 at 8:04 pm is it: a. american conservatism, promoted by republicans and founded on biblical/christian principles that have resulted in the greatest country to have ever existed? or, b. democratic socialism? (the rest left out because what is described is not “democratic socialism” just socialism.) it’s both. american conservatism is conserving democratic and liberal principles. renny oko says november 26, 2021 at 5:06 pm fanaticism doesn’t end well ever. snake oil charmers, christian holyrollers ,ponzi schemers, all have one very unhappy ending, mass suicide, death, or jail. when a barker blows his whisltle and weak minded souls stand at attention, it is at best entertainment, if you are easily entertained . just visit cuba, brazil, russia, or the great saudi arabia . hedge funds don’t like published news, facebook led around by your eyes not a clear honest picture of real life, just bs. fanaticism such as jim jones, david koresh ,marshall apple white, donald trump. if you bark they will follow. believe you will be saved, give me your capital, and all your young beautiful youth to enjoy. in the end drink my special koolaid as i will not be man enough to stand before a federal magistrate without fear of penalty. donald is a failure hoping vladimer putin can help buy my way out of trouble, he’s my friend, maybe i can market the secret launch codes so he may forgive my massive debt. he is a friend of democracy just look at how happy all russians are, it’s proof he is a great person like me. here the scous loves to exploit beautiful coworkers,classmates,and yes money, it’s the lubricant that’s keeps the world turning. faniticism love it or hate it, i can’t hear a dog whistle, all my neighbors share in lo tax liability or near no tax , i do like it and it was so nice to get a check from donald for stemulation, they asked what i was to buy, i said 12 bottles of hi grade bourbon from kentucky. then they asked for a donation to support but i was out of stem cash. i pass on the right, sorry renny richard says december 21, 2021 at 9:49 am at this time in america it doesn’t matter about the last president look what’s happening right now with the current president. i can’t even look at this man when he’s on tv because he makes no sense when he speaks and how he is still in office i have no idea my guess is that he’s a puppet for another country that has taken over us and we just haven’t got that good news yet. but my point is we the american people can fix this if we the american people come together as the populace of this country with all the documents in hand from our forefathers and tell them people to get the hell out of the white house and congress. we have gone backwards for 2 years and i’ve watched stuff on tv that has just left me speechless. i personally am a trump fan but that’s beside the point he’s not in office anymore and we know that was staged no way he lost that election bet my life on it. but all the mad souls in here complaining about our country we need to step back and realize we put those people in power and we can take them out of power but it takes all of us at one time not one group tearing up statues and cities and not one group storming the white house we need one group of everyone. adam says december 28, 2021 at 8:59 am you have been brainwashed in yoir echo chamber. every law enforcement agency, every court in the country, thousands of local republicans in charge of elections, and even the trump campaign itself all know that trump lost fair and square. that’s why trump had to bring in crazies like giuliani and sidney powell to bring forth his insane lawsuits. and both have subsequently lost their law licenses for pushing clearly false claims. in america we still go by the rule of law. that means that just bc your candidate got beaten like a drum and managed to lose the white house, senate, and house in only 4 years, you don’t get to just kick the current guy out of office for no reason. btw, trump was also the first president since herbert hoover to lose jobs while in office. look it up if you don’t believe me. the country is in a considerably better place than it was 11 months ago before biden took over. unemployment has been cut in half to 4.2 percent. stock market at all time record highs. wages rising faster than anytime in 50 years. economic growth nearly double trump’s best. after all, trump and obama were the only two presidents in the past 90 years that never exceeded 3 percent annualized gdp growth. you can look that up too if you don’t believe me. it’s easy to find. it’s interesting you talk about the forefathers and their documents while at the same time openly calling for a coup and completely disregarding the constitution. you don’t get to cling to the constitution if you don’t support it. it may fool the ignorant among us, but any intelligent person will see right through it. merry christmas and happy new year. enterthefray says january 19, 2022 at 12:45 am what these people cannot fathom (nitwit45 supporters) is what a pure criminal this guy is. he’s been one his entire life, and everyone in nyc knows it (his hometown), hence why only 9% voted for him in 2020, in the city. i can understand their bewilderment at biden getting 81 million votes, but that’s because they don’t realize the hatred for commissar conjob is so deep, many of us would have voted for biden if he had a grand mal seizure and a stroke on election night. did i want biden? no. i can’t stand kamala harris, who is a complete phony. but a rotten tomato would have been better than drumpf. jan 6th is proof of what some of us knew (and said) all along. he wasn’t going peacefully. we gave a demented sociopath the highest reins of power. this won’t end well short of a full confession from captain chaos, maybe! i don’t see that happening anytime soon. renny oko says november 26, 2021 at 11:15 am gerald boyum, what a special ostrich, is his mind a republicant is opposed to tax’s for corporations, schools have an exemption. he lives in a dream world that i may be a socialist. i not so sure, my long term income is tax deferred ,i like well built super hiways, and no i do not like facebook,twitter, chinese products,or russian politics. the supremes love money, john roberts proves this on every vote, politics is absolutely corrupt in america greed not work towards a better america. i’ll address the they all wanna live in america, well that is easy, the corruption,crime,and nothing to eat,no job to get to is their most obvious reason, just look at the new arrived dominican republic citizens, they want to work for amazon,pepsi and learn english but not required to do so, the catholic church advocates for their arrival, i think the flawed men need new victims to squirt on in um dunno know, just know they do not go to prison for crimes against children, like say boy scouts america, too many counselors need want the same thing as priests, now they claim to be cured from their flawed deceptions. trust them with young female children they say, they promis they will um be better. stop every one that believes,stand on your head for three minutes and send me a pic. men are flawed, power men are more flawed, politic men most flawed. yes i know it’s not a perfect world, all i can do is be a better person while i’m counting my money, do you think dumb donald thinks about his credit report, or his beautiful daughter, i do know sweet joe biden assisted his hunter into a great no show board job at a foreign business, any one that says different is just stupid. america is broken, congress is hobbled with no honor, any one that says my side is right and your side is greedy is very stupid, ok gerald i’m on the fence and you are out of bounds right field, lost be well renny renny oko says november 26, 2021 at 10:35 am please all wait one, i hate no one, but donald is builder and never honors contract obligations, leans on friendly well compensated judges to assist his weak financial position. also i do no like stupid people. all men are flawed,period, no honor exists in washington dc legislators do not write laws, that is performed by special interest lobbyists, period. congress does vote or defer. the pelosi clinton schumer team brought to life the worst non presidential person into office. women are flawed as well, me too as an ole man. the team of nixon,bush,dulles,hunt,rodriguez ,and the whole republican machine to assassinate the sitting us president for his anti war stance on cuba. and federal justice did not prosecute anyone. and our us government fixed a public campagne to build confusion and conspiracy by telling mafia,cubans and others did the murder, the nixon bush,dulles men were the employers bush trained rodriguez and gave citizenship then he did killing dea camarena agent for attempt to interrupt drug shipments from south america that were profit for republicans bush,nixon and many others. murder will out, and no justice for killing a powerful man .by their successful shit, brought american presidents nixon,bush,clinton,bush,johnson, all war monger profiteers , all of americans can be shamed due to stupidity, today i see stupid people that allow a smart phone make a driver look very stupid, and this is true. we americans were duped so some very corrupt men could become wealthy, much like jeb bush was suppose to carry the republicant torch as a very corrupt bush president also to hold off disclosures of his corrupt fathers participation in the murder of jfk. i know i know all you self servers believe in conspiracy,or the dog ate the pictures, research laws passed since 1964 to put cia,fbi,secret service,military machines under congress control. look how the police attack peaceful protected speech, they shoot non lethal rounds at peoples heads, which is illegal according to manufacture. be well all stay safe and survival of the fittest, don’t wear masks,or safe distancing, you know more then me. see you in the funny papers renny the vin art says november 25, 2021 at 1:23 pm thanks for sharing on triump and lefts……….. keep sharing! dewayne says december 8, 2021 at 12:30 pm why is biden still president he has trashed everything and thoughs hoo dont believe it you are all fools gw says december 17, 2021 at 10:57 am biden should step down altogether since he is destroying our america very fast. trump never would’ve never ever let this happen at all. patricia says november 25, 2021 at 5:49 am it was a related discussion. keep updating. alex delarge says november 19, 2021 at 6:35 pm a recent dept of education survey revealed that 54 percent of americans read and function intellectually at a sixth grade or lower level. in the 2020 election, 74 million americans voted for trump. need more be said? leslie landberg says november 24, 2021 at 6:39 am well, you certainly proved you are among those who don’t understand critical thinking. your statement contained four or five logical fallacies. quite impressive for one little sentence. anonymous says november 25, 2021 at 8:27 pm factually accurate information trump supporter,kryptonite. trump is a traitor gw says december 17, 2021 at 10:59 am and you’re a real total loser altogether. you fool. anonymous says december 20, 2021 at 11:21 pm aww still screaming and spewing hate from 2016 boo hoo. biden and the fools who voted for him are extreme haters with no other agenda because they have no capacity to think of anything useful holder ziggler says november 17, 2021 at 12:42 am ember months

believe in what you are! i’m a terrible writer. i think we have enough to make movie?…we should do it phil ces says november 15, 2021 at 4:30 am thank god for what he’s using dr eziza to do in various lives which my marriage is inclusive, thank you for coming to my aid. contact this man of power on ezizaoguntemple@gmail. com or whatsapp him on +2347059218195 skye alexander says october 29, 2021 at 5:43 pm this was nothing but nonsense. american conservatism has led to civil rights violations, more struggling and poverty than a wealthy nation should have any concept of, and pushes economic darwinism along with a rich elite that have done nothing but taken from the middle class and especially the poor for generations. if their ideology had been guiding us through the great depression, we would not be the prosperous nation we are today. conservative economics has always led to disaster for the majority. trump did fail, trying first to claim covid was a hoax and then doing everything he could to get people to become anti mask and then anti vaccine. he then started an insurrection (albeit indirectly). he should be in prison for treason! what was stated about democratic socialism was absolutely 100% lies. first off, socialism has not been responsible for a hundred million murders. people pretending to be may have been responsible, but one read of the actual works of marx will result in one thing only: the knowledge that marx is spinning in his grave at the idea of nations like venezuela, china, or the ussr being called socialist or communist in any way. as for godless, good! religion has caused more suffering and strife than literally anything else in history and set the entire species back 1000 years back when the “church” first formed by destroying much of the gathered knowledge of the time. this caused the dark ages, which didn’t end until pagan and muslim invaders from without interrupted their little catholic fantasy and the protestants took them to task for authoritarianism. religion still tries to oppress the lgbt and women! several european countries have things that americans would consider socialist, and they are all doing better than the united states! all lies by capitalists who want to keep the poor even poorer (hence why there are things like income limits for disability recipients and forced spend downs on inheritances if disabled, along with hundreds of others of conservative cost cutting measures that outright cause poverty on a massive scale. you see all those homeless? conservative politics is entirely to blame! i wish there was a law requiring all journalism to be fact based… and no more editorials or opinions allowed. if you have an opinion, put it in a blog, it does not belong with legitimate press. i would do anything for a change to the constitution that forbid lies, and another that applied the constitution to everyone in america. anonymous says november 6, 2021 at 12:37 am that was a post full of fiction anonymous says november 10, 2021 at 1:23 am fiction indeed, and without any fact based examples to support it’s literary structure. they run around screaming fire, fire when in fact there is no fire. this methodology incites a panic driven response, they never even bother to verify the actual existence of a fire.. they’re reasoning is simply this, well, it sure could have started on fire, all it needed was fuel and a match and someone to strike the match. anonymous says november 11, 2021 at 2:37 pm nitwits united! bill says november 10, 2021 at 12:15 pm this person makes my case..all democrats are. just like jesus said, remember they hated me before they hated you. kyle says december 9, 2021 at 2:19 pm its not fiction. disability income limits do exist and they are supported by both parties especially republicans who are all nazis and yes socialism does work. europe is doing better than we are while everything the ussr did we do here! disability income limits and forfced spend downs and opposition to hate crimes laws and equal rights legislation prove that jesus is a lie and america is evil! and yes, i would leave if i had the chance anonymous says october 27, 2022 at 5:54 pm i did leave. i couldn’t take it anymore. you’re on point kyle. dean sturkie says november 6, 2021 at 12:41 am your post is full of fiction from start to finish. anonymous says november 10, 2021 at 1:49 pm we’ve had 10 months to prove socialism doesn’t work, and we’ve accomplished that task, thanks to the current administration. jp says november 15, 2021 at 6:31 am the proof is in our face. a party has to lie to survive. examples you need 1 under trump day one republicans first action was to remove ethics guidelines regarding donors and political contributions. day 1 2 the one big piece of legislation republicans passed this is what it did.   the republican tax cuts they said was great for america allowed jeff bezos to pay no income or federal taxes the last three years.   took 2 trillion in federal revenue , gave 1.8 trillion to the top 1.2%   added over trumps term 8 trillion to the national debt ( even with stock records )   allowed the top 65 out of the top 100 richest companies pay no federal taxes   with new and old loopholes top 1% paid a effective rate of 6% 3 even with emails ,recorded phone calls , testimony showing the only fraud in the 2020 election came from republicans   passing laws by lying about crimes ( i thought was illegal)   passing laws to allow governors to over turn elections on a whim   passing laws targeting a political party or rigging the future elections 4 how many republicans appointed by trump had criminal investigation open on them under by trumps own igs , 35 , had over 135 criminal referrals , that jeff sessions and willam barr decided not to look into.   used justice department to spy on seating members of the senate ,and their families, with no evidence of anything. i skimmed the surface , this info came from ig reports and public reporting. it takes seconds to debunk republicans, that’s why they flood you with propaganda, they know you’ll just believe them if they can make the other party look like demons. that’s why today republicans get death threats for signing bills to help their own constituents. cause fox and republicans paint people as demons why would you work with them , republicans created trump. frankenstein was murdered by his monster. andrew says november 6, 2021 at 10:37 am socialism is simply communism with the absence of terror. anonymous says november 10, 2021 at 1:32 am wrong, they have and do incite terror. without terror they wouldn’t have anything to base their reported claim on. the cities that burn, the law enforcement that are killed by their followers, and they justify it with their false baseless reports. anonymous says november 16, 2021 at 8:15 pm baseless? i have a slightly important question: are you serious? lmao anonymous says november 11, 2021 at 11:34 pm so sad to hear your perception of socialism, communism as being anything good in our beloved country….and even defeating the purposes of the church and of god…. if we cannot uphold peace and love for one another and law and order, then please go to another country and leave us alone… guest says november 18, 2021 at 5:57 am right on. yusuf says november 14, 2021 at 5:42 pm you know you talked about the democrat parry, right? yusuf says november 14, 2021 at 5:43 pm you know you talked about the democrat party, right? citizen says november 16, 2021 at 1:21 pm last time i checked the democratic party was america’s oldest relic of slavery which also fathered jim crow and modernized racism. better to be homeless, poor, and free than lie in collectivized mass grave. since genocide always seems to be the cure for homelessness and poverty under socialized equality. i wish there was a law that outlawed socialism as a crime against humanity along with central planned authority of any kind, so the disease of socialism would never again infect the human race with stupidity. it’s sad to once again see the human race fall for the stupidity and delusions socialism. especially when all the things the collectivized hate were fathered by their own diseased ideology. yes stalin and mao did use the works of marx to implement totalitarian rule and mass murder. do you think these monsters didn’t read the vomit marx spewed on paper? they much like anyone else with common sense saw how easily one could weaponize marxism into totalitarian rule. the moment one concentrates the power needed to implement the marxist ideology it sets the stage for a dictatorship. marxist will never be anything more than a failure fueled by delusion. socialism is fools bait selling free and fair delusions at cost of freedom and liberty in the name of sugar coated totalitarianism. socialism is a disease and marx should have been burned at the stake for his collectivized lies which have done absolutely nothing but lead to state sanctioned murder and misery for all but those in power. i wish the constitution would have been amended to outlaw marxism. honestly i hope the collectivized get their way in the end. so when it all comes crashing down all of them can taste the bitterness and misery of their own ideological equality. by the way, trump is socialist not a capitalist and cronyism isn’t capitalism its lemon socialism. all the things that socialist hate were fathered by their own diseased ideology. good things will never come from concentrating the authority of government to rule over all aspects of life beyond the realm of government. warren says november 24, 2021 at 10:56 pm i like your tone of voice skye you look good on the inside and the outside. i must inform you though as the great mark twain once put it. it is harder to prove to a fool that he is one then to tell him so do not impede people slow like evolving some people evolve in a day others could take a million years i believe in carrying my own load and i am not looking for popularity i will leave that to the oprah’s. and the religious media harlots as it is said “he’ll is paved with preachers skulls”. sincerely anonymous says november 27, 2021 at 3:49 am well said satan adirondack beard says november 27, 2021 at 6:14 pm #triggered much? stop living under the rock. how come the liberals and lefts are always the worst when it comes down to respecting other’s point if view? why simple mention of our ex president makes you go apeshit ( pardon my french, but this is what it really looks like)? not a single country in the world exists currently, not to mention, prospers, based on ideals that you preach. not even a tiny one. so, please, kindly, take your propaganda elsewhere. thank you very much in advance. p.s.: how come news agencies that publish trump hating articles don’t have any comments section on their pages? just saying spork says december 10, 2021 at 5:45 am spot on. conservatives regularly conflate opinions for facts. almost nothing on fox is factual at night. it’s almost all opinions and anti news nonsense. they should take the word news out of their title as it’s the opposite of news. its now mostly all (provable) propaganda. sarah says january 31, 2022 at 3:18 am bravo! adam says october 28, 2021 at 2:43 pm weird. for some reason, when i read this all i could hear was “waaaaaaahhhh!” wonder why? pete says november 8, 2021 at 12:51 pm probably because you’re not capable of critical thought. michael byrd=hero,babbit=deadslut says october 22, 2021 at 8:33 am conservatives = the enemy within who will destroy america. katherine says october 14, 2021 at 1:18 pm absolutely ridiculous. why don’t you just go get the vaccination and stop stewing over it? if people had taken an illiterate’s attitude about vaccinations back in the 1950’s, we’d still have polio, smallpox, and whooping cough, just to name a few. weirdest bunch of illiterate fools i have ever seen. michael says october 20, 2021 at 6:46 pm another living in a utopia bubble. melinda mills says october 21, 2021 at 12:56 am why do you feel like it is your duty to force people to do what you want them to do ? if you have natural immunity it’s better than the vaccine and that is the science. so far it’s a year but it hasn’t been long enough to know exactly how long yet . this will take time and your not god and your probably not even a dr or scientist . my right doesn’t end where your feelings begin. how would you feel if you were forced to get a vaccine that doesn’t protect you but for a few months and it kills your kid or significant other? it would feel like people like you killed them and they would be right beverly pinkston says november 8, 2021 at 6:32 pm mmills you are right on the money ! you are smart as a whip !! quinn george says november 16, 2021 at 8:14 pm this will take time and your not god and your probably not even a dr or scientist . : it’s you’re, not your lol forced to get a vaccine that doesn’t protect you but for a few months and it kills your kid or significant other? : it wouldn’t kill your kid/significant other because it’s been tested a lot, and unless you’re getting your kid to have an incorrect dosage (but literally how) or are giving them a booster or something too early (your fault though? or theirs?) then they won’t die. and even for a few months of protection it’s worth it. believe me la dora bankston says october 21, 2021 at 2:23 am the world would trust this corrupt satanic org than god. there is lot from the time covid hit their rules change everday.. just think this animal called fauci if the american people don’t wake the hell up it will be too late for many. if you truly trust god think about these 3 things. the us went crazy when prez trump was elected they just couldn’t understand how it happened. when god moves it’s no way man can take credit for it, i”ll list the 4 scriptures that may help you. 1. have faith, trust god 2. lean not to your own understanding. 3. god take the foolish things of men to confound the wise. god chose donald trump for this mission look all the things god blessed him to be able to do even while personcuted every day by liars and haters. that why he said this battle is his not ours. this a deadly satanic battle going on. brother michael says november 10, 2021 at 2:12 am oh yes, god is the only solution. he gave us an immune system that adapts to the environment. yes, you’re gonna see loss of life by trusting in god, but the end game or in the long run, by mandating vaccination on otherwise healthy humans results in a society filled with altered weakened immune systems, not to mention the possible precursor to the “mark of the beast. also of note, the vaccines are developed by the use of cadavers, some of which are from aborted babies. but even so, the bible is a freedom based idioligy which gives every soul the right to choose, which is an entitlement given by our god. but the left insist we shouldn’t have the right to choose, because we don’t know what’s best for ourselves. and even if our choice leads to our own personal loss, or legally deficit, it’s still our free right to choose. the prisons are filled with souls that made a choice, as wrong as it may have been, they still made the choice, one that came with consequences. i am a holy ghost filled, baptized in jesus name saint of god. this above statement is yet another choice they are attempting to strip us of. at the onset of the covid 19 pandemic has given the left a way to control our choice to worship in our chosen house of god. lock the doors, no one allowed in without masks, limited attendance, restricted to those who have proof of vaccination. they will have their reward waiting for them, as will all who conform to and follow the world rather than god. they use fear to attain followers, when in fact god instructs us to fear nothing except his wrath. there are eternal consequences for the choices we freely to make. anonymous says october 21, 2021 at 11:37 am unfortunately there are risks in a free society and sometimes death is a consequence from the stupid decisions of others. you can live in a bubble and hope others protect (like the government) you or you can be free and take measures to protect yourself. i choose freedom and take my chances rather than have someone else’s ideas shoved down my throat. benita says october 24, 2021 at 9:51 pm i cant believe that you blindly follow everything that bill gates and his big government…big pharma companies have done… to the usa.. and are still trying to do to our land….. they want you to blindly follow..and ask…. zero….questions. i lived in canada for 28

at 10:18 am well said anonymous says december 18, 2021 at 5:15 am really a good job by trump. first and only pres to be impact 2 in the history of the usa. not just impeach 2 but in the same term. what a really lower. most corrupt and worst pres ever# anonymous says october 25, 2021 at 11:52 am we all come from different life experiences and face different issues both which influence the choices we make. yet somewhere along the way it has become acceptable to some to name call or label people negatively for having different beliefs. i can’t imagine where we will be in ten years if we don’t wake up as a society regina says november 5, 2021 at 11:26 pm i so agree with you. it’s a constant fight with everyone among political parties. who’s right and who’s wrong, we should respect the right for others opinions, just as we are given the right to have ours. i call it . agree to disagree. my truth is what i believe, and other’s truth is what they believe. people’s truth can change over time if open minded. god’s truth never changes. i sure am grateful that were are all different. that’s what make each individual special. i mean, can you think what it would be if we all thought and acted the same way? robots lol anonymous says october 25, 2021 at 5:15 pm i got the jab ,however you or i dont know the long term effects of it an the shots they are giving now are giving people the covid !!!!!!! jim stein says october 25, 2021 at 10:56 pm you are the illiterate fool….a good percentage of vaccinated people are still dying from covid (check stats in uk)…you sound just like a “progressive”….keep drinking the koolade that they are serving up…that way you never have to think for yourself matt stilwell says october 26, 2021 at 12:57 pm maybe stop being such a worthless, nazi coward… rick lynch says october 26, 2021 at 1:46 pm you realize it takes approximately 10 years to develop, test, and finally release to the public a safe, reliable vaccine, don’t you? the polio vaccine you mention took researchers nearly 20 years to make safe and effective, the flu, fifteen years. why don’t just worry about yourself? you have every right to commit your health to the lab rat cohort, but no right to compel other to do so. connie says october 31, 2021 at 3:02 pm u r the fool. back in the day when we were young u had vaccinations that were created by mostly good people that was not overcome by greed and money. u look at how many vaccines there were then now look at how many there are now. u have so much greed and the love of money now they don’t care what they do to people. these vaccines r made to kill the people within 3 to 5 years. if u have cancer it makes the cancer worse and eventually u die. then the doctors say u died from the cancer and it cannot be traced to the vaccine. u need to research and not believe the government. u r a big fool if u think these people will not lie to u. even doctors r paid to lie to u. research research anonymous says november 1, 2021 at 8:02 pm you’re an intolerant person and the hate in your message fails to deliver the most important point, that people should take the vaccine. hard to motivate people to do something when you act that way. you ought to reconsider your approach. mick says november 2, 2021 at 12:14 am the left hates trump because trump himself, is a leftist hypocrite who completely, utterly, and openly reflects the lefts own totalitarian/authoritarian ideologies in all of their intolerant racist big government loving denials and delusions. nothing infuriates the left more than being forced to acknowledge reality. tump, like the rest of the republican party, are just a bunch of would be democrat lemon socialist selling the con of a limited government that’s only limited to serving their own goddamned greedy wants at the expense of all but their goddamned own. just like ronald the republican fraud reagan. there was absolutely nothing about the trump administration that ever reflected a limited government. it was all the same old reaganist wealth tax cuts, robbing the poor to make the rich even richer. lest not forget the classic un conservative cons like stealing public welfare, giving corporate welfare, pretending it’s capitalism, and claiming success. the democratic and republican party are just different sides of the same coin. a different stink, same pile of shit. asses+elephants = 1%party. if the nation had any sense at all it would throw the both parties from the steps of government instead of blindly recycling a bunch of long failed false choices. the nation’s going to collapse under the weight of its own bureaucratic shit and laws of ignorances because the country can’t stop recycling two of the biggest piles of political shit in american history.. both ideologies are a hollow disease upon citizen, country, and constitution. leslie landberg says november 24, 2021 at 7:09 am this is brilliant. what political ideology to you ascribe to , i wonder? anyway, kudos and thanks. you are 100% on target. anonymous says november 4, 2021 at 1:34 am grow up. snowflake anonymous says october 6, 2021 at 8:33 am god is a very evil filthy scumbag himself for making these liberals destroying our america now. what in the world is up with that anyway? everything that trump really did was very excellent, and once biden came in which he is doing everything the opposite of what trump did. and now they keep letting them cross the boarder which we will never ever be able to have this very horrible virus under control. if trump was still president which this would had never ever happened, and the wall would had very easily been completed as well. anonymous says october 16, 2021 at 9:45 am absolutely true anonymous says october 29, 2021 at 6:48 pm are you kidding? anonymous says october 31, 2021 at 6:18 pm how could you possibly say that about the very god who made you and keeps your ungrateful, petty and rotting self in existence? it isn’t god’s fault that ridiculous and nonsensical people have gone down their own sinful path in life. no one was born a a raging liberal; no one was born a democrat, or republican. no one was born hating or loving donald trump. no one was born supporting or protesting anything. it is each man’s choice what he becomes in his life. you are who you are because of your decisions and choices. i hope that someday you come to your senses. anonymous says november 18, 2021 at 7:04 pm the other guy was very right on the money that god is a filthy low life piece of shit scumbag for letting these low life loser liberals destroy our america, and a real god would’ve stopped these bozo’s already since things are getting much worse with each passing day. let me see now you morons, higher gas taxes, the boarder is out of control since they keep coming in by the thousands, american’s are still in afghan and can’t get out, and biden is destroying us altogether with his very horrible policies. not to mention that this very horrible virus will never go away since they keep letting these illegals coming in and spreading this virus everywhere across the united states. wake up and smell the coffee. anonymous says november 3, 2021 at 2:59 pm yea right the covid19 happened on trumps watch everyone eles is paying what his inafective leadership because it was all about him anyonymous says october 18, 2021 at 8:34 pm i’m a strong christain, born and raised. but i am liberal. trump encouraged r*ape, made sexist, racist, and ableist comments, and embarrassed our country. he is the only president to have been impeached twice. trump was the one that didn’t take covid seriously enough in the first place and let it spread. anonnimhmouse says october 19, 2021 at 3:47 pm yes, he did. he didn’t want to cause a panic and blatantly lied and admitted on tape to woodward that he lied. a few hundred thousand who let emotions rule all their actions going crazy with panic for a few months or 700,000 dead. gee, i wonder which most people would choose. now when trump does say the truth about covid people say he is just pretending or that the leftist terrorists ‘got to him’. when colin powell who was 84 and dying of cancer also had covid is your only real ‘evidence’ that vaccines are useless, we as a nation are in serious trouble. anonymous says october 23, 2021 at 5:10 pm people that voted for trump wither thought they would benefit from him being president or they have alot in common and missing completely trumps behavior, liying,sexist ,how he treats vetrans,disable,refusing the truth when it is the truth…making up lies, this guy shouldn’t of ever be in business …let alone …president….we would of been better of with a grade schooler …he did have a lot of street sleazyness to minipulate or blackmail colleagues… anonymous says may 20, 2022 at 5:37 am ummmm u living under a rock. trump was all for veterans. he gave the army a pay raise and gave all veterans private health care if must be because no veteran should be denied healthcare for serving our county. they now go to top of list of your a veteran. you brainwashed by left wing media idiot. try researching its not hard at all anonymous says october 26, 2021 at 12:35 am donald trump gets nothing except for being off the k k k and a lot of hatred in people that’s why he was voted out donald trump didn’t say nothing about the cover curse he lied to everybody he’s still lying about the he was voted out good reason he brought out and every hatred group there was including the k k k anonymous says may 20, 2022 at 5:42 am such an u educated idiot. wow grim reaper says october 28, 2021 at 2:43 am and communist bastige biden would have resulted in fewer deaths, right dumdum2? because everyone knows a virus behaves differently depending on who is the president. you people are idiots. now you’ve elected an alzheimer patient controlled by communist bastiges that are intentionally destroying our once great nation   turning it into a 3rd world shiphole. you sacks of ship are going to get your comeuppance and that will be a great day. mdb says october 30, 2021 at 6:35 pm riggggght…cause “causing a panic” would be far worse than denying that there was an emergent pademic on the rise and doing everything in his power to stop it’s spread…and thus preventing the deaths over 1 million people in the us alone….never mind that whole thing where lied through his teeth about there being a pandemic at all and then when that didn’t wash…..offering “covid cures” that not only didn’t cure covid but could kill you if taken for the wrong reason…that he and his friends “coincidentally” held stock in….. cat fish says october 20, 2021 at 4:11 pm hahahahahahahaha wow your so far off. michael says october 20, 2021 at 7:09 pm another living in a utopia bubble. impeached by wacky dems with nothing but lies. robert mullers report showed no russia collusion. yep not a peep from pudding eaten biden 1) covers his son who media said laptop was russia disinformation, which was later proved it was legitiment yet not a peep from biden. 2) hillary clinton paid for a dossier of lies and passed them to fbi and doj as truthful nothing happened to her. 3) she destroyed emails that were under congressional subpoena. 4) she cried about the election was stolen from her for 2.5 years. then when trump has suspicions and feels it was really stolen from him it is a threat to our democracy. you people keep living in your bubble of utopia and one day it will pop and then you can come live in the real world with the rest of us. anonymous says october 20, 2021 at 8:06 pm you need to stop spreading lies about trump. the left made up lies about trump and you should as a christian pray for our country. anonymous says october 20, 2021 at 9:37 pm grow up mindy says october 21, 2021 at 1:31 am he wasn’t impeached twice because it was proven hillary put all of the russian hoax into play . it’s been proven and the f.b.i was in on it because they wanted her to win they have stricts and the lover text messages where they spoke back and forth on the plan to get rid of him and called trump supporters dirty,poor ,retards that don’t deserve to vote. i didn’t vote that year but it pissed me off that so many democrats felt like this the left claims to be good caring people but they are the furthest thing from it. the second time was easy to prove because it’s all on a transcript he was accused by someone who wasn’t even in the room and had no knowledge of what he said on the call. they started impeachment before even asking him for the transcript or asking the president of the ukraine what was said it was easily disproven. jan sixth impeachment was bogus because he was saying to fight like hell in court then go to the capital to cheer on the good congress men and women and they would go together. maxcine waters told people to get confortaional if they didn’t get the verdict they wanted for floyd . they bailed out rioters and one of them that kamala bailed out killed people after being let out. hillary clinton was on tape laughing at the fact that she got a rapist off because she tore down the victim and admitted she knew he was guilty and was laughing and proud of it.. trump never said anything about raping people the media was good about doctoring tape and even tried to play one of the speech for january 6 didn’t work because they had the hole speech and played it. i find it rediculious that democrats can’t see through the evil of most of the left and some on the right but majority of the evil hippocrates are on the democrats side. people who had friends and loved ones held as prisoners in other hostile countries some where captured some tried to preach christianity in places like korea they went to trump for help and unlike other presidents who turned their back on americans and left them behind he did whatever it took and got them out. he also started a program to get out some prisoners that was in for life because of drugs due to biden and his 94 bill that had shown good and redeemed behavior. he called and meet with victims of all kinds of stuff to see how he could help and also made the boarder safe and threw special ceremonies for new immigrants getting green cards. he hand wrote letters to every family of a dead service members family and made each one different than called to see if they needed anything . democrats make him out to be monsterous but does all of that sound like how the media made him out to be? i see through them they are the true evil. la dora bankston says october 21, 2021 at 1:55 am i truly thank god every day for allowing me to trust, love and beleive in him, everyone is entitled to their own reality. you can say whatever you want to say about him. i’m a very proud conservative woman not driven by hate , no one is perfect and i take great pride educating myself on what’s really going on here. i know god sent and prepared donald trump for this mission and a lot of the ungodly can’t and he isn’t done with the that prepared him for. you’d be doing yourself a lot of good by learning the truth for yourself. america;s govt is ran by a satanic, human trafficking pedophile group . the info isn’t hard to find hunter biden laptop, china own’s this and covid our tax dollars help to create what is destroying world. unknown says october 23, 2021 at 8:36 am you are very sick!!!!! matt stilwell says october 26, 2021 at 12:59 pm how did trump encourage rape ? what ableist comments ? grim reaper says october 28, 2021 at 2:38 am ok dumdum if you say so. anonymous says october 28, 2021 at 7:31 pm democrats are all in changing america to something else and that is complete control of everything. they dont even hide it really. they want no more freedoms for americans. we are going to get what we voted for complete chaos. prices on everything is going to go up not a little but a lot. gas will be all time high. food will be shortages. who knows about jobs and a lot more worse stuff for americans. i bet democrat voters would still vote for him today. tell me why noneyabusiness says october 29, 2021 at 8:41 pm yeah, you’re such a “strong christian” (sarcasm). is that why you support mark of the beast joe biden? turn off cnn or washington post, sheepie. lorelei says october 30, 2021 at 10:45 pm strong liberal christian? sorry, but no. you can’t be both. liberals support, even encourage abortion. they think abortion up until birth is quite alright. murder is a sin. the brutal murder of an unborn child is unthinkable. stop calling yourself a christian. anonymous says october 31, 2021 at 9:56 pm what about biden releasing all the mexicans and afghans into the united states that have not been vaccinated dumb ass ahmet insel says november 1, 2021 at 12:20 pm you are a liar, an anti american, anti white, neo fascist democratic scum. you are not a christian. you are a traitor. david delia says november 4, 2021 at 1:09 am stop looking at cnn your getting brainwashed just like the rest of this country, voting for a senile bastard to run this country because of their selfish needs without thinking about the country as a whole which is presently causing its demise. logic has to be dominant when voting for a person and a political party to run this country. burning peoples property, attacking the police and those in authority because of their hatred taught by the communist infiltrated schools and colleges. wanting to defund the police who risk their lives everyday to protect the people against those who would commit crimes against them. democratic run states not enforcing the law but enabling instead to cause innocent people to be harmed and killed. having no bail so the bastards who commit crimes can continue their destruction and harm to the people. poisoning the minds of our youth and creating hatred amongst one another which for years the people of this country tried to correct which has succeeded to some degree only to have these marxist communist bastards to try to reverse all that by their hatred and lies making those that live here hate this country and its founders. promoting evils of the past to be repeated. look at venezuela, look at cuba, look at russia during stalin’s regime and look at china spreading this deadly virus to this country intentionality causing thousands of deaths in this country and the world who is now creating havoc in the world because of their evil communist agenda to conquer the world. no one is perfect but logic must prevail along with our freedoms! sonya says october 19, 2021 at 8:17 am did you read what you wrote before you posted it?? first you blame god, who is not responsible for our failures as human beings, filled with sin and greed. then you told us what we already know about both presidents. you might want to start off by blaming our education system too, who actually gives children who are learning how to spell, points even if they spell the word wrong, just so long as they get a few of the letters right in the word correct! in my book, if you get one letter wrong, you fail on that word completely and you do not get any points this is called the dumbing down of america and the socialist agenda likes this very much because knowledge is power, and when they take away power, they can rule over you. go to the bible, seek him first and he will open your eyes. so many people blindly follow the rogue news organizations, who have been paid off to lie to the public about what is really taking place! wake up america! michael says october 20, 2021 at 7:15 pm that os what the schools jave produced, not scholars but what we call snowflakes. pampered so the feelings ain’t hurt. everyone gets a trophy at the playoff . what incentive does that give a kid to work harder as a team to win next year. none, we created another team of snowflakes. god knows these type people are going to have a hard time in life. thomas r romano says october 21, 2021 at 10:43 am the bible is a thousands of years old and should have nothing to do with modern political leanings. please stop insulting god. permreader says october 23, 2021 at 5:42 am less words,more thoughts would be preferable! kevin says october 25, 2021 at 8:43 am can you provide a well reasoned and reliable methodology for establishing belief that your deity even exists? how does one go about believing what you believe? because the fantastical and outlandish tales to be found in scripture certainly don’t make it any easier or enticing. bruce says october 26, 2021 at 9:39 pm god is also your fantasy, a superstition born of fear you inherited from your parents. anonymous says october 27, 2021 at 5:48 am thank you sonya anonymous says october 28, 2021 at 1:14 pm 👍🏻 anonymous says october 30, 2021 at 5:58 am spot on d nice says november 1, 2021 at 8:38 am you sound a little misguided. the election has nothing to do with covid. people who did not want to stand in voting lines risking the chance of catching covid voted by mail in their state if allowed. trump wanted all counting of votes to be completed on nov. 3, just counting people who voted in person that day. that’s not how elections work. he won in 2016 after mail in ballots were counted and hillary conceded 3 days later when that process was over. in 2020 louis dejoy, a trump supporter was made postmaster general and he fouled up the post office so that mail in ballots did not make it to destinations well after it should. the rogue news people you speak of are who exactly? foxnews, oan, newsmax, ny post, infowars? january 6 we saw sedition against america and none of those “news” organizations have called out those individuals that committed treason. just because your candidate didn’t win does not allow you to storm the us capitol building during a closed session and force your candidate of choice into the presidency. those seditionist defiled the capitol building and stole government files and democrat’s personal items from their offices and no republican office was ransacked? you can’t have a “normal tourist day” during strict covid protocall build being invoked, closing it to the public during a closed session of congress. the seated president can’t just walk into the capitol building uninvited by congress. not a single seated president has ever sat in during that closed process in just receiving the electoral college votes. rob says december 11, 2021 at 4:46 pm i noticed that you didn’t mention abc, nbc, msnbc, or cnn in your list of rogue news organizations. is that because the news media sources that you mentioned are no less biased than that i mentioned? you can’t claim to be a free thinking individual if you’re going to let the “news media” do your thinking for you. that goes for anyone who listening to cnn ,newsmax, fox ,msnbc ,or whatever propagandists you prefer to pollute your mind with. you have to question everything that you hear. we don’t have news organizations, we have cheerleaders who are politicized ideologues. we are not informed ,we are indoctrinated sheep, and we are told only what they want us to know. to believe otherwise is foolish and naive. why do you think that we only have 2 dominating political parties that will ever be in power? yes ,we have the libertarian party and the green party but a 3rd party candidate will never get into the white house as president. christine kendall says november 1, 2021 at 9:33 am american christianity doesn’t really follow the teachings of jesus. it empowers greed and hypocrisy, which jesus repeatedly spoke against, and eschews humility and love, which jesus promoted and exemplified throughout his ministry. the “dumbing down of america” mentioned above happens when our schools are not allowed to include truth and critical thinking in their curriculum. when using the bible to promote one’s political agenda, please remember what jesus himself said was the most important commandment, and then go and do likewise. i will try to do the same. biff henderson says november 2, 2021 at 8:47 am you are the dumbing down of america. you do the work of the oppressor under the guise of righteousness, but in the end you are just buying lies and selling your soul. wake up, fool, before it’s too late. anonymous says november 2, 2021 at 9:57 pm right on sonya…..i agree 100 percent with what you commented, good for you tom says october 21, 2021 at 10:09 am i really don’t believe that you are not in a mental institution. if you are not, you should be. people that support trump, an evil man, that is a fascist racist that planned and attacked our own government. an all white gang of thugs killed 3 policemen and injured 130 capital policemen.this was planned by trump and steve bannon and other nazis that are causing a 2nd civil war. you say liberals are ruining america. are you that stupid? a wall was so stupid. trump said mexico would pay for the wall. mexico laughed at him and they should. unless you are a native american or “indians” as people like you would call them, you are here because your ancestors were allowed into this country, but now you want no foreigners to be allowed into our country. you are in a cult that is just a way for trump and his minions to steal trillions of dollars and sell, out our country. please go and see a phsyciatrist. olad says october 22, 2021 at 7:20 pm how dare you say that. we are talking god the supernatural omnipotent being anonymous says october 23, 2021 at 6:59 pm trump spent the first 2 years of his presidency dismantling the branch of our cdc that was in place to prevent the united states from the devastation of a global pandemic!! the obama administration saved us from three global pandemics in the years of obama’s presidency!! in the seven days and the world health organization warned trump to take action to protect the usa from covid 19, trump neglected to alert senators and governors of the growing threat to our country and instead, went golfing six times!!! what kind of ineptitude do you have to have, not to see that trump was not qualified to be the president of the united states?? trump literally told us that he fucking lied to our citizens about how deadly and contagious covid 19 is!! he then went on to spread false information about masks and other protection measures that would have helped minimize the spread! he allowed covid 19 to burn through our country and put people out of business!! trump is responsible for the destruction of our economy and he’s responsible for nearly a million lives lost in less than 2 years!! get educated! asshat!!! you make yourself look like a damn fool! anonymous says january 5, 2022 at 4:39 pm everyone in my family and friends have all abandoned me cuz i am a trump supporter i stand by my principals and beliefs and i hate biden with a passion and i have not gotten vax yet. what should i do anonymous #2 spock says october 24, 2021 at 8:34 pm anything that helps people they will call socialism that is a paraphrase from harry truman and “they” are republicans somethings never change. if trump is your hero you are fucked up. he is only a so called conservative because it is the handle he is currently using to serve his own ends., he is only concerned with himself and always has been. he will glom onto anything that serves his vanity and that is simply it in a nutshell. he is an empty individual, a vulgar,crude, dense and unread knuckle dragger. he is cunning not smart and flattery will get you everywhere with the likes of him. that is why authoritarians like putin can wrap him around their finger. just a putz not a president curtis perfect says october 25, 2021 at 5:43 pm hilarious. anonymous says october 26, 2021 at 12:29 am donald trump was voted out is a mini putin want to be she can say whatever he wants to it’s all bulshit life facts are facts says november 2, 2021 at 9:55 pm evil will always exist and in our time it is the fascist left elite. anonymous says november 24, 2021 at 1:45 pm this coming from a right wing abrahamic nazi you know it was your god that created hitler and it’s your god that created the second the 4th regime for a nazi punk that couldn’t care about you he couldn’t even hold the bible right the dumbass looked at the sun during the solar eclipse i mean how bright can you donald j trump be anonymous says december 18, 2021 at 5:23 am really a good job by trump. first and only pres to be impact 2 in the history of the usa. not just impeach 2 but in the same term. what a really lower. most corrupt and worst pres ever# neighbor says october 2, 2021 at 11:21 am what a great article, common sense about the evils of socialism and the core conservative values which made this country the greatest of all time  all the arguing about trump just goes to show the blind hatred for one individual can’t take away from the common good… no matter your religion political preference.. formally have to look at history to see what is worked and what hasn’t to foresee for future…. michael says october 3, 2021 at 7:25 pm why do honest men and women of good will dislike trump: it is because he is neither honest nor a man of good will. both conservaties and progressive people know that the waste of 4 years at a critical time in history has dearly cost us all. devouring future generations to keep trump in cheap suits is bad politics and poor judgment. the penalty for treason…. anonymous says october 14, 2021 at 10:25 am wwake up border children afghanistan higher prices and sooooooooo much more, open your eyes anonymous says october 20, 2021 at 1:25 pm true. tom romano says october 21, 2021 at 10:48 am “true”? wow you sound like a child. go play in your sandbox and let educated people make the decisions. melinda m mills says october 21, 2021 at 1:54 am they say by the end of the year there will easily be 2.3 million illegal immigrants here . they have been peeing in bags but nothing from the kids in obama cages people say anything like a.o.c . why would any person that loves the country go from energy independent to energy dependent in the first week of being president. everything he’s done has benefited russia and china the two countries that pay his son and whoever the big guy is . they confirmed the laptop was his like we thought it was someone else who followed hunter around taking pictures of him smoking crack and being naked with his scared looking niece on the bed . anonymous says october 21, 2021 at 9:54 pm awe… is the dumb redneck afraid ? 😱 anonymous says october 27, 2021 at 5:50 am thank you grim reaper says october 28, 2021 at 2:47 am there is no waking slime like michael above. leftists actually believe that if a man says he is a woman, that he actually is a woman. that is the definition of insanity. you cannot reason with them and you cannot wake them with reason. paul blake says october 16, 2021 at 8:22 am and so we have a booby prize for a president. he could not get hired by 7 11 to sweep up because he could not be trusted without someone to keep track of him, duh! you need to see a psych doctor for trump derangement syndrome, because you have a classic case of it! anonnimhmouse says october 19, 2021 at 4:04 pm yet people like you keep screaming bout civil war and killing and exiling all the liberals and progressives because a guy who screamed 7 months before the election that he would only lose if they cheated (more than him as the only fake votes found by conservative auditors are trump votes, hm) brainwashed you into believing him, and donating to a man who brags about being a billionaire all your money to help him prove fraud while not spending a dime on proving said fraud and making taxpayers pay for all his audits. we elected biden because he’s the shiniest (and actually christian as shown by his actual recorded actions as opposed to trump who thinks all christians are simply gullible idiots who will give him all their money and votes if he blabbers about how bad abortion is, even though in numbers chapter 5 moses is given a ritual by god to make adulterous wives become infertile and have miscarriages but i still believe it is wrong yet i won’t treat women as slaves to stop them from doing it as jesus will judge them and unborn children will be taken care of by the lord regardless) of two turds because your orange one has always been and will be a greedy shyster until he gives account to jesus of his actions. but yes, people who think trump isn’t a saintly messiah are deranged. whatever you say, bud. anonymous says october 27, 2021 at 5:51 am creepy joe maggie says november 3, 2021 at 8:57 am you are more deranged than him. listen linda, he was able to lower the gasoline price down to less than $2 a gallon? you idiot! now, do you like paying over $3 a gallon for the gas because you voted for an idiot president that’s been in politics for almost 50 years and did not do nothing for americans? what’s your argument about? anyonymous says october 18, 2021 at 8:35 pm thank you, michael! you’re exactly right! he was an embarrassment to our country as he encouraged r*ape and made so many sexist and racist comments. there’s a reason he’s the only president to be impeached twice. the truth says october 21, 2021 at 2:36 pm what planet do you live on. the ones that impeached and made up and spread lies all over the internet was the democrats and they are the problem. if you believe the lies on the news and the democrats maybe i can sell you a bridge. marty says october 28, 2021 at 6:55 pm this is an absurd lie. trump was making america great and quality of life was rising. where’s your quality now ignorant trash. anonymous says october 29, 2021 at 12:53 am this is not just a political war it is a spiritual one as well people have to decide, do i stand with satan and the ones who think it is ok to kill a child after a woman carries it for nine months and decides she doesn’t want it and they kill it or do you stand with god and the ones that think you should cherish life god gave us and protect innocent baby’s it’s not a hard choice which do you stand with tyler says october 20, 2021 at 3:36 pm if you hate trump and suffer from tds (trump derangement syndrome) then you are most likley a narcissist, you hate president trump because you can’t stand for someone to be in power who is not placating to your garbage ideologies…. michael says october 20, 2021 at 7:38 pm oh yea everyone would rather 1) pay 40% more on food, 2) pay $5.00 a gal of gas, 3) pay 40% more on energy to heat our homes 4) taking less money home to give our kid to go see a game friday night. 5) or to buy clothes for our kids 6) oh yea, break a century long united states ethical and tradition of leave no american behind 7) instead of spending billions on our own natural citizens that are currently homeless on the streets in tents and place them in housing for a second chance in like. 8) democrates spend billions on illegal immagrant with our open borders people like you are all an embarrassment to the usa. you have no values, no ehtics, no morals, and no respect to other black, asian, latino, whites or any other race that live among us as neighbors. trump had his bad side but he has been the only potus that actually helped middle class, lowest unemployment rate for black’s latino, and women in history melinda mills says october 21, 2021 at 1:43 am if he did something why is it i ask everyone to list what he did bad and i get no answer yet when they ask what good things he did i can list so many things to prove he was a good man not by words which means nothing but by actions . unlike the dictator that is in office now he doesn’t leave americans behind he fought to get them out of other countries and did. i could write a book on the gross negligence of bidens actions but i have asked countless times for someone to tell me what he did that was so bad and all i get is he just is or there’s so much i can’t remember. bidens done a lot and i can remember especially since i have to deal with it every day when i go to the store or get gas. energy independent vs getting everything from china. as usual americans are last again anonymous says october 21, 2021 at 11:30 am joe biden currently is enforcing policy that undermines americans. the likelihood that the progressives green new deal will turn the tide of climate change is slim to none. face it out destiny here is doomed. especially with greedy self centered foolish leadership. progressives plan to save the world will only break the back of america. and if you like that idea consider that without the stabilizing good of america in our world the world will revert to chaos with china leading us to hell. good luck! jeff says october 11, 2021 at 4:01 am good solid thinking!!!!! thomas romano` says october 21, 2021 at 10:36 am donald trump was given over a half a trillion dollars by his father, a racist. trump lost all of that money plus a lot more., he is trying to be a dictator. he wants only wealthy white people to be able to vote and not pay taxes. a civil war has already started in the usa, which is what trump wanted.civilized people will fight back because they are true patriots. people like you actually believe the election was stolen, without 1 ounce of proof. every time you try and say that a certain state did something wrong, not 1 time was it ever proven, in fact all audits have shown that president biden won by more. rabid dogs are put down and all idiots that still support the treasonous nazi are more dangerous than rabid dogs.do not think for a minute that libedral patriots will fight for our country. linda says october 21, 2021 at 6:24 pm so you are saying trump is a conservative and has conservative valus??? do you mean trump and the people who follow him love his adultery, love his chicken shit coward when he got out of the service with his daddy’s money, loves a man who says “grab them by the p  ” loves a father who calls his own daughter ‘a piece of ass’, loves a man who has the morals of an alley cat, loves a man who has made nasty remarks and nasty moves on women, robs his own kids charity in ny, lies, lies lies everytime he opens his yap, a man who has no morals, decency, kindness, love or respect for anyone and is jealous of everyone even dead men. if that means people who love him, love what he does and says, all i can say is “what in the hell is wrong with yoy fine christians and conservitaes??? crazy!!! they want another hitler and it looks like they are going to get one with the name of trump!! mdb says october 30, 2021 at 6:38 pm socialism is what allows for police departments, our military, fire departments, and our public schools to exist. socialism is literally what built the middle class, and saved us from the great depression. it’s no wonder every single time the right/conservatives get in power they literally wreak everything and make all of our lives worse off….and then go on to blame progressives/liberals who have been proven right every…single…time for not cleaning up their perpetual eff ups fast enough. anonymous says november 1, 2021 at 4:24 pm sweden biff henderson says november 2, 2021 at 8:58 am evils of socialism? you don’t have the faintest understanding of socialism, which is why you have no real argument against it. you are a brainwashed fool who can only assign words like evil to thing you lack either the will or intellect to comprehend. there is no blind hatred for trump, there is eyes wide open recognition of a con man pulling the wool over the eyes of suckers like you. james says september 27, 2021 at 6:51 pm to everyone who desires to join the illuminati organization, joining the illuminati is free and there is no human sacrifics or

conquered… absolutely nothing. very intelligent yourself apparently. obviously no recollection of history either because either: 1. true history has never been taught to you? and/or: 2. you care not

stroke church, or did your phone? wow. that explains you voting for trump and falling for hid cons. tyler says october 20, 2021 at 3:40 pm if you voted for joe biden you may need psychiatric help. you voted for the worst president in us history because trump is living in your brain rent free. the man served this country well and i appreciate his constant bullying of the elitist left, their propoganda machine, and calling out hypocrites in the swamp. you are an authoritarian loser, you think you have the right to tell people how to think, you are the reason we have a second amendment. tom romano says october 21, 2021 at 10:54 am “true”? wow you sound like a child. go play in your sandbox and let educated people make the decisions. biff henderson says november 2, 2021 at 9:23 am here’s some news for you, fake american, anti patriotic, pseudo history believing turd stain on the fabric of this country. the history you claim to know is the whitewashed american lie, taught to, and believed by, bleating fools like you who desperately want to keep your head buried in the sand. stop being a little crybaby weakling victim coward, pull up your big boy or big girl pants, and try to accept reality. p.s. your grammar is trash. kevin w thornton says october 7, 2021 at 9:48 pm it fits wear it kate says october 12, 2021 at 1:40 am 👏👏👏👏👏 anonymous says october 12, 2021 at 10:40 pm

says october 10, 2021 at 5:36 pm if you look up envy, a deadly sin you might see a picture of joe biden. he’s telling president trump and #trumptrain basically that he was in politics for over 50 years, got nothing done, an outsider comes in and crushes it❗️he’s so green he dismantled everything good. he can kick rocks❗️ jade says october 14, 2021 at 12:18 pm trump literally spent 4 years stealing from every single place he could, then conned you all out of money for his “lawyer fees for the stolen election”. his lawyers went to court and actually said “we are not saying the election is fraudulent”. then of course he doesn’t pay his lawyers. so, where is that money??? y’all just keep cherring while he calls you stupid. tyler says october 20, 2021 at 3:41 pm jade, seek help. tds is a real problem in our country and is now treated by psychologists and psychiatrists as a dangerous mental disorder. if you need help finding a therapist you can pm me. biff henderson says november 2, 2021 at 9:07 am crushes what? if you’re complaining about joe biden not getting anything done in 50 years, how are you then celebrating trump for turning back policy in america by 50 years? trump not only accomplished nothing, he unaccomplished more than anyone else. also, biden is so moderate it’s annoying, so calling him green shows how much you’ve been suckered. let’s get someone really green in and build an economy based on new technology to make us competitive in the actual world instead of someone trying to take us back to the 1970s and let china and the rest of the world continue to run away from us. nancy says october 22, 2021 at 9:21 pm anyone who supports this con is in a cult! orange man actually stated “on every news network” that what occurred on january 6th happened on january 3rd” and this was straight the liar’s mouth! these cultist’s keep quoting nonsense from the bible! stop with your hypocrisy, open your eyes and more so……try reading something intelligent!!!! mattie says september 24, 2021 at 12:21 pm i agree anyone who states he or she likes trump is a big scammer. frederick dunn says september 26, 2021 at 6:26 pm my mother always told me that profanity is a sign of ignorance. i think your post has just proved her point. you’re the typical leftist always wanting to change america into something our founders never intended it to be. you should find a new place to live   preferably away from the united states. rose says october 14, 2021 at 9:18 am hmmmm have you ever read trumps comments or heard the things he she’s said about people. there is nothing in christianity faith that says it’s ok to name call or grab a women by her p____, and how many times has he been married. abs what does the bible say about doing to the”least of these” or those in need or your enemies. or lying. just the fact of making a general statement saying the left hate america is wrong.. i never liked trump prior to his run for president. and look into who he admires. anonymous says october 19, 2021 at 9:41 pm love you comments ❤️ jim stein says october 25, 2021 at 11:18 pm amen brother….trump was never impeached, and you certainly can’t get impeached twice. i really don’t understand the hatred over common sense. biden has never been relevant…and he certainly isn’t now. he is involved in a crime syndicate with hunter and his brother jim. he is a liar, a plaguerist, totally lacking in character as his crime family has exploited their influence to enrich themselves. a journalist is publishing the laptop from hell which was hunter’s and it is extremely incriminating. the liberals have done a masterful job of brainwashing college kids and so many others to hate america and adopt some crazy idealized utopia. i’ll take one trump over a thousand bidens. think for yourself and vet everything this administration says. jim stein says october 25, 2021 at 11:28 pm my post was for frederick dunn’s post, nothing after that anonymous says

probably made an error in your judgment tyler says october 20, 2021 at 3:44 pm miles, we do not hate socialists, we hate was socialists stand for. we do not want the government mandating or creating laws that will prohibit speech. we do not want our constitutional rights infringed on. you believe the opposite and it is concerning. you think people should lose their jobs for not sticking a needle in their arm. you think people should speak how you want them to speak. you stand for chaos, you stand for the swamp, you stand for china. anonymous says october 21, 2021 at 4:19 pm please show me

dialogue in face to face fashion. what makes you pathetic, is you can’t have discussion based on facts. probably that, and as well you have few real friends or worth. you have no idea if what it is to be american. if you believe in the lefts ideas and where they headed, you will never find it. anonymous says october 31, 2021 at 2:09 am blindly spewing hatred filled rhetoric while making sweeping assumptions; could it possibly be that you’re a trump supporter? it would be generous to call your writing structure “rambling” and you fail to provide any concluding statements. zero points, see me after class. biff henderson says november 2, 2021 at 9:31 am lol, you are so dumb it’s almost implausible. sure you’d like to have the conversation face to face, you violent, stupid coward. you don’t have the brains so you want to solve things with fists. i’ll tell you something, i guarantee you’d come out of a tangle with me even stupider than you started. you crybaby conservative anti patriots have none of the facts and all of the dumb. whyyyyyyy???? says october 16, 2021 at 4:28 am look what that idiot is doing to the states , to all of us you dumbass!!! trump is the only one that did a damn thing to make sure our economy was good !!! trump , trump , trump you people are just unbelievable what a nightmare this has been 🤦🏻‍♀️😫 it’s scary to even think about what’s going to happen to our world anonymous says october 20, 2021 at 12:50 pm whyyyyyyy, you really nailed it. anonymous says october 27, 2021 at 5:54 am is there anyone out there that likes pelosi ? anyone! tina says september 8, 2021 at 12:37 pm the joy in my heart right now makes me want to tell everyone about the solution temple how he was able reunite both of us back together again with his reunion love spell permanently. his direct contact to reach him through his email https:// solution temple.webnode. com get in contact with him and i strongly believe he will reunite your broken relationship just like mine, thanks…. tina anonymous says september 14, 2021 at 4:40 pm how is this relevant?!! anonymous says october 1, 2021 at 8:59 pm i agree anonymous says september 15, 2021 at 3:14 pm qanon, right wing, anti vaxxers, anti maskers are all the same, they are riff raff that failed grade 2 and they are holding the country hostage with their constant nonsense. if we are lucky darwin will act swiftly. adam says september 16, 2021 at 12:42 pm funny you throw out all of these buzzwords like anti vaxxers (i’m not anti vax; i’ve actually had far more vaccines than you have or probably ever will; i served in the army and had everything they’ve given civilians since the 60’s plus smallpox and anthrax; but i won’t get this hastily done production they are calling a vaccine, why, because its stupid to vaccinate against something that has a 0.01% morbidity rate, and much more likely to give me life threatening side effects, that’s why!) but its very clear you don’t really care what the truth is, your goal is to try to undercut validity by calling names. i find that most far leftists are the ones that are generally low education (or at least act like it!). maybe you should educate yourself outside of the literal crap that the mainstream media tells you. they’ve been successfully lying to you since before 1980. oh, i’ve got two masters degrees, btw… and its funny you’ll say “if we are lucky darwin will act swiftly”   darwin was a man, dead now. so unless you’re merely saying hopefully the dumb are struck down, it sounds an awful lot like you’re waiting for the savior to reach down and strike down the “dumbs” and that savior you’ve dubbed darwin. i thought all of you didn’t believe in a higher power? crazy. maybe post a few more words next time. anyone can do what you did. radical, socialist, communist, extremist, anti american, neo facists…. mike says october 17, 2021 at 6:38 pm right on adam, it is truly sad how the left has indoctrinated their sheep into believing the gutless crap ideologand disease called liberalism. jr andersen says october 31, 2021 at 8:19 pm i believe most of you are missing the point on why trump is now gone. he is a very sick man (god help him) and as one who voted republican most of our lives, we will not stoop to his lying, conning, racist, women hating crap and demoralizing the disabled just to name a few of his nasty ways. fyi obama left him with huge increasing job numbers so please do educate yourselves, and why are republicans refusing vaccine when it was pushed through and trump bragged and bragged and bragged about it. i am not an anti vaxxer but do all my own research before health decisions. there should be be no left or right, only intelligent voters who research facts. not too many folks particularly wanted biden, trump was great at one one thing: dividing this great free country and making it all about himself, not the people. no sheep here, just disappointed in americans…… biff henderson says november 2, 2021 at 9:43 am if you had two master’s degrees you couldn’t possibly be this stupid. you don’t even understand the meaning of the words you throw around. you are a toxic joke and everyone around you knows it. anonymous says september 17, 2021 at 10:28 am another leftist with hopes of death to others  come and get some big boy. god forbid you try to go after a patriot. i hope you at least have the mental prowess to avoid a physical confrontation. for god and for country…. a patriot says october 20, 2021 at 3:46 pm they will never come after you in public. the amount of pussy ass maniac libs i have had to put in their place this year is overwhelming. i have begged these idiots to hit me, try and beat me into submission and see what happens. we have a long road ahead but we need to continue to stand our ground for freedom. youarenotapatriot says november 2, 2021 at 10:13 am patriot, ha. that word has become tainted since fox “news” co opted it and sold the lie that it’s synonymous with conservaturdism. patriotism requires sacrifice for the good of your fellow american, not lip service to some fantasy of an idealized america that has never really existed. you shit stain “patriot” cowards are all talk and no action, just like your loser president. god forbid your dumb mouth gets you in a real situation where you had to back up your empty threats, turd. common sense libertarian says september 17, 2021 at 11:45 pm lol dude, before spewing nonsense about the 2nd grade   you should probably consider retaking it. but i agree with you in one regard   hopefully darwinism will react swiftly & remove the mental disease that is liberalism. its funny you mention darwinism too   the left is completely against nature taking its “natural” course   best man/woman for the job. nope, you’re more interested in checking a box because of identity politics, which has obviously corrupted the democratic party. republicans are the party of lincoln   & democrats wont stand for that bc its the truth   so liberals are more interested in congratulating & promoting people for the color of their skin & being a minority..not for being better at their craft & the person who has earned the job. they’ll take any measure to cover up their true beleifs. as a black/hispanic, i would find this disgusting & is a slap in the face to any educated american.. democrats are low key racist and they won’t admit it..serious mental gymnastics going on over there   they think they’re “fighting the good fight”. no, you’re racists and hold this idea that black & hispanic minorities aren’t smart enough to figure out life in america without handouts from the left. seriously, please reflect on this and come up with an original thought. you’ve fallen in line with everything the marxist left is trying to accomplish while the tyrant joe biden is in office. i cant stand either party anymore but the flagrant abuse from the left makes it hard not to speak out about how corrupt they truly are..so here i am defending republicans   not because i agree with everything they stand for because i don’t, but because defending truth is always the right thing to do. this brings me to another lefty fake news narrative   the leftist media said trump was a dictator? i do not recall trump ever mandating anything at the citizen level. biden has in very short order though. again, please think about these hypocrisies. biden is senile & cannot remember what he had for breakfast by lunchtime…but democrats are the masters of failing upwards..i’ve gotta give it them for that. i wasnt a huge trump fan & can’t stand most republicans anymore   they’re weak willed & it seems like a large percentage are undercover democrats..aka rhinos. but trump spoke the hard truths that democrats don’t want to acknowledge. im sorry but facts do not care about your feelings.. trump commanded the respect of foreign leaders. there were hardly any foreign conflicts for 4 years.. in less than a year, look at what has happened in the middle east with biden at the helm. as for china, biden would rather allow communist china free reign on the world, spreading a disease that 99% of people quickly recover from. as for anti vaxxers, again, you need to rethink what you’ve posted. most americans are not anti vaccine, they’re anti bs & being told what’s right for them and how they need to live their lives. i can go on & on about this topic. democrats want pure control of every aspect in your life.. theres no denying this anymore. although this will be very hard to overcome as the media continues to perpetuate lies and control the narrative. the hypocrisy of the left is startling. why are so many vaccinated people contracting covid still? liberal answer: because of conservatives, plain & simple, they verify everything and are pointing out our fallacies so we must lie to take control of the narrative at all costs. i’ll take a covid vaccination as soon as big pharma develops a new one that actually works….which brings me to another lefty hypocrisy. weren’t democrats up in arms only a few years ago about big pharma and how out of control they’ve become? now liberals want the government to give them insane amounts of cash for a vaccine thats not as effective as it should be? whatever happened to their stance against big pharma? libs blow with the wind. no honor, no trust, no real leadership  just power hungry crazies. church says october 5, 2021 at 10:57 pm a human of valor you are common sense libertarian. i commend you. words of wisdom. srsly says november 2, 2021 at 9:52 am common sense my ass. this is all logical fallacy and conclusion jumping. if you’re as smart as you think you are, you should try reading what you wrote with a critical eye. you are incredibly biased and appear to have no idea. coan says september 19, 2021 at 10:42 am the vast majority of those unvaccinated in the south are black democrats. so, your “darwin” comment is both filled with hate and racist. william jones says october 10, 2021 at 11:51 am no one is more racist than the democratic left,they play the race card every hand!!!! anonymous says october 19, 2021 at 8:37 pm the democratic left are real demons to begin with. stoptryingsohard says november 2, 2021 at 9:58 am this is not actually true. this is something that’s being repeated over and over, but i looked at the cdc numbers and, though black vaccination numbers lag behind white, the lag is single digits almost everywhere. frank says september 20, 2021 at 8:53 pm lol! true. charles s baker says september 20, 2021 at 11:52 pm since you’re calling ppl “anti vaxxers” is it pretty safe to assume that you are vaccinated? i double dipped.. i had a positive covid 19 test a year ago and i was vaccinated a couple months back. my question is.. why are you threatened by someone who poses no threat to you? for years i’ve heard left leaning citizens call those on the right fascists and called president trump a dictator. now the leftists in the media their base are blaming the right for being unvaccinated yet 12 and under make up a large portion of the 80+ million un vaxxed. next largest group is under 40 women of color. last i checked that demographic more often than not vote dem. and president biden is dictating how american citizens live their lives. if you can’t see the problem with that then you are part of that same problem. bob muske says december 4, 2021 at 9:05 am trump belongs in prison! he is so hitler=esque it is not funny! he abused the presidential privilege and lied to the public on every score! the big lie is only the one he made up! he despises anyone that disagrees with him! he disallows support for michigan governor whitmer cuz he hates her! global warming is real! we have tons of bad weather everywhere! we have rising sea levels and melting ice trump bought his way into the white house and then started abusing his privileges! he stopped congress a few times! he disguised himself as an american while shutting down mail in ballots to keep his powers! he scoped out mt.rushmore to put his visage on a mountain! he is no roosevelt! he has bloated sense of self worth and had control of nuclear weapons! he nearly got us into war with korea! he is not my kind of president! and everyone is aware of his misdeeds and wrong doings while in the driver seat! he belongs in s nursing home at his age and not as a sitting president! we need fresh blood that is not prejudiced! trump is loaded with hatred for most humans! he undid all the good things obama did and claimed obama’s accomplishments as his own! he is a reckless person and i have zero respect for him or his family! i hope he gets jail time asap! to show the world that we do not tolerate autocrats abusing democratic principles! caps! greenland is shrinking and naples is drowning in water!i want to sue trump for millions as he literally interferes with my sense of sanity and well being< just by being himself and sending me negative propaganda to my email on yahoo and using twitter as a way of undermining the reputations of others in charge! he is a spolied brat of a person not getting his way! childish and self centered>>ignoring the will of the people>> he had his chance and he blew it up ruining our democracy and baling others for the consequences! he does belong in prison! i can hardly wait for justice to stepin!. even nature has rebelled against him! a large portion of the wall< was destroyed by a huge hurricane! there was no warranty on it either!lol! that is justice to me! bye trump! i am so glad you got fired! moron that you are! bye again! it was remdesvir that saved trump and not hydroxychloroquine! he charged us citizens somehow for a pricey parade to whos off our strength< millions to repair his golf courses and we all know he tried to twist the georgia governor into making up votes for hi to win! a spoiled brat and inferior human being, i hope he gets what he really deserves! glad you’re fired! scholmo says september 21, 2021 at 11:26 pm cope and seethe rob says september 23, 2021 at 8:26 am dream on. this left wing dream always turns into a nightmare. how many people are crashing china,n. korea, cuba, venezuela wanting to create a better life there? joe blow says september 23, 2021 at 8:51 pm you drank too much of the koolaid knucklehead seen enough says september 25, 2021 at 2:10 am no darwin…. lol you people make me literally sick. the idiot you elected handed billions of dollars in our weapons to a terrorist group who took over afghanistan, oh, did i say handed he got punked. then next week he’ll puppet out about gun control…. wtf?? are you really this stupid? masks? anti vaxxers? do you see what’s happening? oh wait that’s right you don’t? you understand that all these supposed to get wing elite are all getting filthy rich off all of you? it’s called spin…. it’s all hollywood it’s not real. you get that right? look at what happens when faced with real life situations, they crumble. i never thought i would see the day when i would be ready to separate this country. but i can’t take much more of the petty whining, defense of the cowardice act that took place in afghanistan, the constant accusations of racism, when the very accusation itself is promoting a racist agenda. i keep thinking you liberals are smart enough to see what will happen if you keep poking the bear with a stick. but you aren’t. people died because of your ignorance. not sure if it’s possible but i hope someday you can see that just because they tell you the square peg is round it the reality is it won’t fit in the round hole. by your own man or woman. and do it quick before you idiots ruin this country. richard hewitt says september 25, 2021 at 1:35 pm jesus is our only savior we have the right to make personal decisions about our body not the government tom schulte says october 5, 2021 at 1:05 pm hi richard! always nice to meet another pro choice citizen! anonymous says october 11, 2021 at 9:17 am god and jesus are both filthy no good pieces of shit scumbags for letting this happen to begin with, since they do have the power to stop all of this which they won’t. fred dunn says september 26, 2021 at 6:20 pm and you’re an ignorant, uninformed, individual typical of the left. a hater of capitalism and every single beautiful principle upon which our country was founded. always trying to change our great nation into something our founders never intended it to be. freedom fighter says september 27, 2021 at 3:24 pm funny, we thing anti freedom, narcissistic, face diaper, can’t understand elementry science about viruses people like you will meet the same fate. anonymous says september 29, 2021 at 9:49 pm indeed anonymous says september 30, 2021 at 4:28 am you are godless riff raff who will soon find out more about survival of the fit sb says september 30, 2021 at 10:16 pm it’s called, freedom of choice. rick says october 1, 2021 at 7:33 am thank god(oops probably offended you there) we have super brains like yours hanging around in a coffee shop somewhere policing everyone’s speech. we are all safer and better off their coffee is good. you type your battles there and the rest of us will actually do the things that allow you to believe you’re more important than you are. ed schnertzmann says october 1, 2021 at 8:37 am ignirant much? you need to see who’s actually not vaxed. as for education? you might find that the rural red states kids do best in school. i don’t know how you people can just run with these stupid ideas. it’s like you by all in in the stupidity, on the non existent stereotypes. grow up. get a life, and make your own way, stop worrying about why others are better than you and how they got there. john says october 1, 2021 at 11:04 am right, along with the 800,000 babies abort every year. because lives don’t matter. james moutoux says october 3, 2021 at 1:28 pm wrong! we are the truly awake ones we don’t buy into the lies of the democrats and the globalist controlled corporate owned main stream media. we research the facts diligently, we put the available information together to weigh out the facts glean the truth and make informed decisions. you on the other hand have been brainwashed by your television, all the commercialism and fake news that you have been spoon fed has greatly hindered your ability to use critical thinking and common sense. you don’t state actual facts learned from data, statistics, and information that’s out there if you use your brain and spend some time researching the information for yourself. instead you turn on your television, radio or connected device and repeat the narrative that is being fed to you over and over again until you accept it as truth. your not an educated person with a truly informed opinion. your walking billboard for the leftist globalist narrative like monkey hear monkey do monkey repeat monky think. your a trained pet. church says october 5, 2021 at 10:12 pm i’ll be your darwin my sweet cheeks. seems you may need to get back to 2nd grade yourself with that punctuation and/or lack thereof darling. darwin was a man and a name… deserves capitalization. hopefully you can learn something from a useless, right leaning, anti masker, liberty minded american white man. as small a gesture as it is. my gift to you. richard hewitt says september 25, 2021 at 1:33 pm jesus is our only savior anonymous says september 26, 2021 at 11:21 pm who says i want reunion. sue says september 5, 2021 at 12:52 pm we are all fighting for the same thing. the social climate has turned us aganist to each other. we will get further if we work together. change is good but it must be for everyone not just one side. we have become very lazy cause of the work it would take to come together and work it out. more time and alot more patience for one another. good will to men, women, children no matter what blood runs through our veins., no matter what color , religion. after all arent we all human. will it take a space war from some unknown to bring us together.. they are just waiting for us to destroy ourselves so they dont have to fight for the take over. love and wishing all wellness to everyone. lana smiley says september 29, 2021 at 6:50 am uhhh….i’m gonna guess you have flowers in your hair and just lit some insense and toked up, right? mary jane says october 3, 2021 at 9:01 pm so what if they did what is wrong with that! james moutoux says october 3, 2021 at 1:41 pm in some things you have said you are right, but make no mistake about it. we are not all fighting for the same things. karvictho says september 3, 2021 at 12:11 pm this article, i have just noticed, was first published in may 2020. in january 2020 trump was in his last year as president. in his final year, 400,000 americans died from covid. as of today it is now 650,000+. this has everything to do with trump hiding the ball when covid hit, in order to keep his economic numbers looking good. then we have his not paying taxes and scamming america out of what he should be paying, for many years (while all the rest of us had to). while in office trump he gave contracts for infrastructure projects, instead of allowing them to be bid on. trump said american manufacturers should come back to the usa and bring home jobs, yet his merchandise for his hotels, red hats and teeshirts etc. as well as his daughter’s clothing line are made in mexico and china. he decided to abandon the khurds to isis after they helped america, then decided to make a deal with the taliban … who were not running the government we had been propping up for 20 years…. to allow us to pull out of afghanistan. none of what i just mentioned has anything to do with lefty politics. yet, these facts and many others which cannot be disputed get ignored by his supporters who are happy to throw the rule of law under the bus … and give trump a free pass. why would an american, who knows this country was built on the blood, sweat and tears of ancestors who fought for law and order … be happy to let trump the swindler … who has done nothing but massage their egos about how being white is right … let him get away with it? so much for mis placed patriotism. susan santos says september 13, 2021 at 11:27 pm not one word is true in your ridiculous article how the hell can you blame trump for this pandemic when it came from china they released this virus not trump and if people are dying it’s because they’re not protecting themselves a lot of elderly people that catch it yes they have conditions with a virus will cause problems and death that most people they still go to parties they still go out drinking they don’t wear masks and they spreading it how can you blame one man when a nation is not doing what it should to protect everyone don says september 20, 2021 at 11:53 am you are correct. furthermore, they never could accept hillary’s defeat in 2016. part of me believes that the liberals funded the chinese lab in the hopes that a pathogen would “accidentally” escape to undermine trumps re election bid. cyber punk says september 20, 2021 at 2:06 pm eww…. put your mask on richard hewitt says september 25, 2021 at 1:37 pm god bless you for saying the right thing and believing it smarterthanyou says september 26, 2021 at 10:26 am they meant that due to trumps terrible handling of covid, that it became as bad as it is in the usa. barbara says september 28, 2021 at 11:16 am yep you are sane , thank you! f anonymous says september 28, 2021 at 8:32 pm perfect answer. people not vac. just keep spreading it around. stupid stupid people. of course they know everything. austin says october 9, 2021 at 12:33 pm what do you not understand about a morbidity of .01%. what is so hard? do you now know basic math? do you know that having a 99% chance of survival is not something to worry about? do you not know, that driving to your local grocery store has greater odds of you dying? why are you such a fool and easily manipulated by the the liberal loonies? did you not pass the standardized test…oops sorry, i forgot, you liberals implemented no requirements for math or reading comprehension. perhaps that’s why you’re so easily baffled by numbers! george arnold says february 26, 2023 at 9:43 pm austin, you really can’t be serious. below please find the intellectual bona fides of the folks you’ve thrown in with. the constitution was not divinely inspired, it was inspired by the european enlightenment and by ancient athenian democracy. the framers had little use for religion. anonymous says may 20, 2022 at 5:52 am u uneducated moron. the vaccine still spreads covid. along with all the other side effects. you been fooled. ummmm u still haven’t learned this fact yet. crazy cooter says october 1, 2021 at 1:55 pm trump, trump, trump is no longer in office. instead of spewing history i want to hear what you love about biden’s policies please? jack says october 1, 2021 at 4:38 pm susan that was a brutal response. there’s this really cool thing used in writing called a “period”, here’s how it works: you use it to end a sentence, so that those reading can make sense of whatever stupidity is spewing out of your mouth. pro tip for next time! e.a says september 14, 2021 at 3:46 pm candace owens was so right when she said she feels like shes teaching common sense to pre schoolers.. after awhile it just gets old! heres the thing.. it doesnt matter how much “fact checked” data there is out there that disproves all the nonsense you stated, or the amount of scientific evidence that proves otherwise, it doesnt matter.. bc ppl like you have “chosen” to dislike president trump! it doesnt even matter to you whether you actually believe those falsehoods. oftentimes they are 1 issue (emotional) voters, whose issue is not alligned with what trump morally stands for, & other times its bc ppl are simply following the advice of others close to them. either way its irrelevant to you, bc you’ve already made the choice too! do you wanna know how i know this? bc every single thing you accused him of or blamed him for has already been proven false! most of it was proven before bidens fake inauguration! which tells me that every single thing you accused him of is not only “yesterdays news” & easily verifiable, but that you havent even “circled back” to confirm the accuracy of these claims prior to falsifiing & slandering someones character! so you’re just repeating last years gossip which has resulted in making you appear foolish. here’s whats so sad.. ive watched this country turn into pure & utter hatred overnight! the greatest country on earth. yet ppl who know very little to nothing about politics have drawn lines & cut ppl outve their lives over just that! this is no longer about “party affiliation” & regardless of whether you admit it or not, you know it too.. this is a battle of good vs evil! its not a high school point the finger & blame game! so stop behaving that way! if you cant see ur own hypocrisy in blaming trump for covid, who had the same “medical advisor” in his admin as biden currently does, then no one else can help you. i bet u blame him for the delta varient too, during bidens admin.. why not blame him for wendys changing their fries while ur at it! do you still not see ur hypicrisy?! if not, then if i were you id spend less time online & more time cleaning ur own home. never has this country been where we are today, ever!! we are battling spiritual warfare! again, good vs evil! if everyone stopped lowering themselves playing this infantile “feel sorry for me” blame game online, & instead directed all their time & energy researching & investigating “who” created the covid virus, “how” it got leaked & by “who” obviously we know china’s involved but “who” is the link between our two countries, “who” gained to benefit, & “who” still is.. why do dr. fauci’s words to the public differ greatly from the words in his personal emails… if everyone was focused on the “obvious”, then we’d be a unified country again bc we’d all be fighting against the real murderers who are trying to destroy & divide us, & have!! and that is precisely what conservatives have been doing, meanwhile the democrats keep blaming trump… i cant even put into words how stupid that is!! my god he’s not even in office anymore, they made sure of that; hence covid 19.. but since u wanna live in the past, then start with the clintons, thats only fair!! (make sure not to leave osama out) fortunately, many have turned away fr the democrat party this year. not bc they wanted to be republicans necessarily but bc they realized the leaders of this democrat party were lying & using its own ppl to pull this lie off, along with every other outlet imaginable! its not a party anymore, its the spread of evil! im grateful for all of them, bc the day we as americans have each others backs again & leave “the sides” to the side, will be the day we win this battle!! no battles are won without compromise, sacrifice, & accountability! pres trump certainly was held accountable, he was judged & ridiculed on a daily! so why is it biden isnt? why is he always absent or vacationing? why has he not even been expected to answer ques fr the press? why does his own staff cut him off or whisper “no” in his ear? im not even gonna bring up the border or afgan or the terrorists he just inserted into all of our cities!! why 1 million unvetted taliban in places like new jersey, which is min’s from ny, & 2500 in jax fl?! you dont have to be a rocket scientist to see hes planning something… taliban vs american citizens, perhaps?!! yet you made the choice to come here blaming & obsessing over d.trump…. still dont see the pattern yet do ya… candace, you nailed it! dumbo says september 16, 2021 at 12:25 pm so you are questioning why most americans don’t like a con man,and to you it is all about left and right. god, you people are so dumb! rick says september 17, 2021 at 7:23 am love it! you are right on target. you can shove verifiable facts down their throats and their willingness to choke on it. these type of people are literally mentally unhealthy. you can’t tell them no because they’re always right. then come up with some out of the universe theory and run with it like gospel. they have completely lost sight of the american dream and became brainwashed by liberal hacks whose only educational goals towards our children is to turn them against us. any educator who brings their politics or ideology into class is the very first step of a dangerous indoctrination process. i applaud your passion and obvious love of country. i am a retired united states marine. i have been to some pretty raggedy places all over this earth. each time my boots hit american soil i bent down and kissed the american dirt under those black cadillac’s. there is no place like home. in the meantime these self proclaimed communists are dead set and already rolling out their control agenda. we have only a few years to try and save our republic. i fear tho, that even if we have the right people in office, it’s going to be a process to change the climate in dc. i can only pray that we survive this battle of good versus evil. carlos solrac says september 18, 2021 at 12:20 pm no one has simply chosen to dislike trump. he posses no admirable qualities. is he thoughtful, reflective, insightful? no is he kind, respectful, honest? no is humorous, clever, witty? no is he a bully? yes is he a cheater? yes is he successful? who knows, i don’t think so, not in any meaningful way. i might be rich. do you, or anyone else want your son to grow to be like him? not me. scott a hutchins says september 18, 2021 at 8:37 pm candace owens is one of the world’s biggest liars! ellie spangler says september 18, 2021 at 11:40 pm wow, so much to unpack here i won’t bother. stupid can’t be fixed. coan says september 19, 2021 at 10:49 am 👍 anonymous says september 23, 2021 at 4:33 pm you nailed it. cindy jantz says september 14, 2021 at 5:51 pm you suffer from the very typical leftist envy of anyone who is successful in life! you can’t stand to see anyone else prosper! why don’t you go back to your liberal (communist) blog sites! get a life and stop your commie envy campaign!! scott a hutchins says september 18, 2021 at 8:39 pm all capitalists are thieves who steal the fruits of their workers’ labor. jeff bezos is the laziest man on earth whose parents supported him well into his thirties. anonymous says september 21, 2021 at 10:48 pm im pretty successful and i retired early. i want to see everyone do well. republicans are holding us back on almost every level. covid 19, education, gun lobby, etc etc, and that awful previous president who just lost. and by the way, republicans hate democracy. they lost and they refuse to accept it. richard hewitt says september 25, 2021 at 1:38 pm right on brother balyster2@gmail.comy says september 28, 2021 at 11:31 am you go girl keep speaking truth , maybe praying some truth will stick! in jesuses mighty name! lord have mercy! bobbie says september 18, 2021 at 8:10 am you realize that everything you just said is total bullshit. he did no such thing, other than what the left wing news media reported which if you actually were to do a little investigation instead of relying on the media to teach you with their total bullshit hating trump lies you would know the truth. biden has been in office for 9 months now and it’s time to stop blaming trump and put it on biden. all i heard was trump was a muderer because of the covid deaths, but somehow biden is doing a great job. let me tell you, this administration could give a crap less about your life. all they care about is numbers and making themselves look good. this vaccine mandate is in total disregard of the constitution of this country. inflation is through the roof, gas prices up almost double what they were, a complete fiasco of the afghanistan withdrawal by pulling troops out ahead of citizens. trump’s plan to keep the airbase open and leave 2500 troops there would have worked well. citizens first. destroy all unused weapons, keep the base open and then withdraw, but this idiot decided he knew best. i was only a fricken sargent in the military and i knew that myself. open borders with people pouring in daily unvaxed but citizens losing their jobs for not taking it. you left wing nut jobs have iq’s somewhere around 80 or you have a mental problem one the other. you believe everything these left wing media outlets tell you. by the way. i’m neither republican nor democrat. i just use my 138 iq and investigate things instead of being a sheep. cyber punk says september 20, 2021 at 2:06 pm eww…. put your mask on joe blow says september 23, 2021 at 8:55 pm you drank too much of the koolaid knucklehead and you are a complete moron mary belinda says september 25, 2021 at 1:06 pm my husband was diagnosed of parkinsons disease 2 years ago, when he was 59. he had a stooped posture, tremors, right arm does not move and also a pulsating feeling in his body. he was placed on senemet for 8 months and then siferol was introduced and replaced the senemet, during this time span he was also diagnosed with dementia. he started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. suspecting it was the medication i took him off the siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) him on pd natural herbal formula we ordered from tree of life health clinic, his symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the tree of life health parkinson’s disease natural herbal formula. he is now almost 61 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed! (w w w. treeoflifeherbalclinic .com) rob says september 27, 2023 at 3:12 pm and if you believe that, please contact me. i’ve got a very nice bridge for sale cheap. rob says september 27, 2023 at 3:31 pm and if you believe that contact me. i’ve got a really nice bridge for sale that you may be interested in. fred dunn says september 26, 2021 at 6:29 pm hiding the ball. you idiot. michelle says september 27, 2021 at 4:33 pm your an idiot! it’s not about trump, it’s about every single high ranking politician. both republican and democrats and even the far left use their political standing for their own (their and family/friends) for money and more importantly power. it all of these elites that are being down america, not one side or the other. do your research,read things other than your party affiliations propaganda! lisa says september 27, 2021 at 8:49 pm covid19 is a plandemic scamdemic and go to the cdc website. only 9000 died of coronavirus under trump. the communist democrats are lying about everything that commie witch aoc is asking people to have their deceased cause of death changed to covid19 and fema will give the $9000.00. the only way america will survive is to get rid of the communists. anonymous says september 29, 2021 at 10:37 pm at least when trump was in office our economy flourished. democrats only know how to put us into recession or worst, a depression. my friends, biden is lurking in recession waters. hope all who voted him in are prepared for this. ed schnertzmann says october 1, 2021 at 8:47 am geeah, you’re ignorant. non if that is the least true. the irs has never reported him once, not once of not paying his taxes. you just don’t get it, and you bought al in in the lefts rhetoric. i guess you must blame the vaccines on him too? since his administration was the ones who actually got the companies to get going on it. better blame him too then for the money’s behind monoclonal antibody treatments. yeah he was the one pushing for the alternative treatments, instead of limiting people access like the biden administration is doing. wouldn’t that be considered sick? holding back treatments to specific groups for political reasons? you’re sick, your ideas are an illness. get help, or gtfo and leave. brian harris says october 3, 2021 at 10:46 am i am sorry that you paint a president that was and still is the greatest of all time. if you lift up biden as a good president. he is been a failure ever sonde he entered politics!! he is on track to destroy our country and constitution. he needs to be charged with treason. for him and all the administration. no wonder everyone chants fxxx biden everywhere he goes. do you like your freedom? james moutoux says october 3, 2021 at 1:45 pm nothing you have just stated is factual and you have made yourself a racist here. frankie jo ellis says october 28, 2021 at 3:04 am karvictho, thank you for your well reasoned comment. the pseudo patriotism on this forum is mind numbing. it does not seem like the users of this forum know anything of real patriotism it is just a buzzword being thrown around. my grandpa enlisted in the u.s. navy the day after pearl harbor was bombed. while off of formosa taiwan now, his ship the uss ticonderoga was hit by two kamikaze. many men died that day, thankfully, my grandpa survived. this brave man and many of his peers enlisted to stop the atrocities that fascism idealizes. every one of you trump supporters should be ashamed of yourselves. how dare you support a man who has ties to neo nazis and white supremacist hate groups. you people wouldn’t know socialism if it smacked you in the head. any service that is provided by the government for the public good is a form of socialism public libraries, fire departments, the police, highways, the state, and the federal prison system, are all forms of socialism. your mealy mouthed, orange menace, and his sycophants plotted an insurrection to overthrow the government because he is not man enough to accept that he lost the election. don’t you all know that trump hates all of you? don’t kid yourselves. your only use to trump is if can get you to cough up money. jack says november 14, 2021 at 7:58 am just think if your grandpa would have not survived we would all be better off since your dumb fucking ass would have never been porked into existence just to become a dumbed down sheep who believes the lying propaganda machine and thus ignorantly hates the best pres we have ever had . there is no convincing morons like you about truth because you are what the world refers to as a sheep who just parrot what they hear from don lemon and other low iq sellouts who are ownded by the leftists who hate this country. your grandpa would be ashamed of you if he were alive because men like him died to keep this country safe from the evils who you have been brainwashed to worship and praise so ignorantly. baa baa you dumb sheep . melissa j says september 2, 2021 at 10:06 am keep spreading that fear and hate to your sheep fake patriot. now do career criminal trump killing 500,000 americans, telling 33,000 lies, rape, racism, sexual assault, his inner circle getting arrested and pardoned for federal crimes and his hypocrite fake patriot cult attacking america, beating cops with american & trump flags while committing the largest terrorist attack in us history. stay brainwashed fake patriot while you cry about masks and vaccines but take away womens and voters constitutional rights. anonymous says september 14, 2021 at 1:05 pm they’re all so big and bad with their guns and they are terrified of taking a shot for a virus that could kill them or someone else! or they refuse vaccines and masks out of misplaced disloyalty to a disgraced, corrupt, twice impeached liar and bully who was never qualified to be president to begin with and would bring the entire country down and destroy our confidence in our democracy just because he is a spoiled brat and a sore loser. anonymous says september 25, 2021 at 3:55 pm whats the point just follow the mass media emily says september 20, 2021 at 8:45 pm amen! dave says september 22, 2021 at 1:25 am liberal democrats (communists) (marxists) #1 antifa: are basically a bunch of losers that can’t except the fact that they can’t succeed and prosper like normal people do. so they live at mommy and daddy’s house. so the pussies that they are, arm themselves with bricks, rocks, bats, etc, and their little plastic helmets, and head into their war zone to riot, set buildings on fire, yell at police, and hopefully smash their way into drug stores in the hopes of stealing all the good drugs,,opioids, adderall, xanax, etc. then bolt and head to a liquor store to complete their shopping. they aren’t there to protest against abusive police, or help anyone, they don’t give a shit about themselves let alone someone else. #2 black lives matter: headed by blacks who don’t give a shit about the blacks that march around for the blacks that claim they organized black lives matter to give blacks a voice. (not). instead (black) so called leaders in charge of that organization enslaved other blacks to enrich and benefit themselves. but they love you (slaves) live and learn folks!! #3 woke: woke is a joke. woke means: shit !! i slept til noon again, when i wanted to be up by 11:00,, i knew i should have past on them last few rocks!! (crack) damn trump!! rob says september 23, 2021 at 8:35 am where is the proof trump is a career criminal? trump killed 500,000 people? you mean he released the virus in china knowing it was coming to america? how many lives were saved due his leadership and success of th vaccine? no one else did this. no other country, leader or individual. if trump was so bad, what the hell do you call this presidential chernobyl? please. get real. anonymous says may 20, 2022 at 5:55 am let’s got forget it was trump that made in record time all the vaccines to be available then biden became president and that pos took credit. the left has no mind of their own. sheep richard hewitt says september 25, 2021 at 1:40 pm really january 6th was bigger than september 11th you need to have your head examined anonymous says september 29, 2021 at 7:12 am someones very jealous god it must be ashame to wake up and look at ur self in the mirror, god bless ur foolishness anonymous says september 29, 2021 at 11:17 am let’s talk about racism, name a couple things that democratic president have done for the black community. ed schnertzmann says october 1, 2021 at 8:56 am another if orany lefty. you need to see who’s actually vaxed, and who isn’t. based on what you’re saying you must hate blacks and latinos and asians, (i don’t see these people as the core constituency of the right) and they are the majority of the unvaxed as you say. my question to the brain dead left… if vaccines work, and you have it, then why are you worried? ever heard of natural immunity? you know, people who had it, like a cold or flu. they have 27x the antibodies if a vaxed person. the cleveland clinic researched this year 54k participants with covid, vaxed, natural immunity. did you know that delta breaks right through the vaccine, yet there wasn’t a single breakthrough case of a person with natural immunity. you think you’re woke saying all the stupid things you hear, but to those who actually are paying attention, you’re just another useful idiot for the left. mark says august 31, 2021 at 9:00 pm matthew 5: 5: blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6: blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7: blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8: blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see god. 9: blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of god. anonymous says september 28, 2021 at 11:28 am yes! you are right! fools have their blinders on , they can’t hear or seee the truth , we need to pray for them , god does not want anyone to perish , even if we might , be ok , all right lol too dramatic, i just hate stupid people who speak out the likes of the dumb goats , headed for a fiery grave the bought and paid for fools that the demon lost ones who have bought into the lie! the weak and blind that have been lead to slaughter , the dark one persuaded! sad , we can’t save these ones sadly the devil owns them , sad , just cut the cord , they are hell bend and do not have ears to hear mary belinda says august 21, 2021 at 9:05 pm my husband was diagnosed of parkinsons disease 2 years ago, when he was 59. he had a stooped posture, tremors, right arm does not move and also a pulsating feeling in his body. he was placed on senemet for 8 months and then siferol was introduced and replaced the senemet, during this time span he was also diagnosed with dementia. he started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. suspecting it was the medication i took him off the siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) him on pd natural herbal formula we ordered from tree of life health clinic, his symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the tree of life health parkinson’s disease natural herbal formula. he is now almost 61 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed! (w w w. treeoflifeherbalclinic .com) denise kordas says august 28, 2021 at 11:57 am bongina gets to look at images from nsa neural monitoring. it allows him to see what the adverage person at home, being spied on would see. wow! so dan bongina gets to see our children in the shower or changing in their bedrooms? yep! your husband or wife too! pervert right? i know! also bongina has access to all your medical, criminal records basically your whole life story. and now with neural monitoring they are digging into your memories, yes your memories. the sub human bongina and any other idiot that trump finds worthy will know and see everything about you. teri says august 31, 2021 at 4:26 pm are you insane? anonymous says september 26, 2021 at 11:18 pm yes georgia brown says september 8, 2021 at 1:15 pm you are not too bright, need to get a little smarter about life you are a little mixed up. if you did not want something for nothing you’d be a little smarter, you evidently have gotten everything for just asking, bet you have never had to work. did you? eleanor spangler says september 19, 2021 at 12:05 am this is a very common misconception among maga, ultra conservative types about liberals. me, i am a flaming liberal all my life, who worked since the age of 13, worked my way through college and settled into a comfy middle class life till retirement. no food stamps, no gvt handouts, and the same for most of my large family and circle of friends. however, i can afford to be kind to others, share a meal or a little time to help out folks that need it, and believe that our country can afford to take care of those less fortunate. does that idea offend you? do you consider yourself a christian person as its hard to tell from your statement?, my guess is no. btw, i also think it will be awesome when biden gets his infrastructure bill through! imagine a star trek like society where everyone’s needs are met so they can focus on doing work they love. how do we get there without taking first steps? b. says september 9, 2021 at 8:52 am you can go back to the basement and take off your tinfoil hat please. also it’s bongino. you leftist idiot anonymous says september 14, 2021 at 4:01 pm lol!!! brian krebs says september 12, 2021 at 9:54 am you poor poor sheep, shut off cnn and go out side and smell some flowers balyster2@gmail.comy says september 28, 2021 at 11:36 am hi brian , they are the goats , dumb dumbs , led to slaughter cause they don’t get it we need to pray for them! richard hewitt says september 25, 2021 at 1:42 pm bonjino does not do that the government and the irs absolutely do that and carter page proves it with a fake fisa warrant jim stein says october 26, 2021 at 12:25 am denise you have completely gone off the rails…poor baby…my posts still aren’t up but maybe this one will sail through. i have come to an undeniable conclusion: whoever came up with the democrate representation of a jackass was a genius. and the most fitting motto for them would be “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” from lbj’s great society to the appalling failures of the democrats so evident in cities like san francisco, chicago, detroit, baltimore and others today, the long slide now culminating in making the country socialist has been an epic tragedy mark d. budka says august 21, 2021 at 7:45 pm i was reading through this. my, how you love each other. oh, no doubt i have a christian bias, but i don’t hold to a white only christianity. after all, christianity was originally an eastern religion. the more i listen and read this and the news the more i actually agree with martin luther, not because i hate people, but how much people hate each other: “and though this world with devils filled, should threaten to undo us; we will not fear for god has willed his truth to triumph through us. the prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him . . . one little word shall fell him. i’m not righteous, but i can actually believe christ standing on mt. tabor looking over the jezreel valley toward megiddo filled with an army, like many of the likes of you, and all he has to do his say his name and you, in absolute hate of him and yourselves launch into an instant slaughter of each other. you can take that literally or figuratively. wow! how much you hate each other! it’s not even worth arguing about. god have mercy on us all! “but there is no god!” you cry . . . oh well . . . try being nice to each other. i wonder if you’re able. not coming back to this. have fun killing each other! jana lemons says september 9, 2021 at 8:58 pm i know that i should throw the electronics ph & tv out of my house   my neighbor has already done it   wise people. i think that is tearing the idols down! sam hood says august 20, 2021 at 7:21 am thanks for writing different content. looking forward to having more from you. kevin w thornton says august 27, 2021 at 11:38 am being woke always ends in flames. anonymous says september 4, 2021 at 2:53 am so does red pilling. anonymous says september 9, 2021 at 9:00 pm what is woke? chris j says august 12, 2021 at 3:34 am utter nonsense. republicans have proven themselves completely out of touch with reality and will lead the the destruction of america as a functioning nation, if not the destruction of humanity. nobody owes you a shred of respect because you are the gutter trash of history. robb says august 24, 2021 at 1:36 pm you are a complete out of touch idiot. why is this country going over the edge of being the most fallen ever in such a few months since democrats taking charge. for 4 short years under trump this country had become greater in every way possible, like strong military, economically, safer streets because of respect for the laws just to name a few. now look at state of the economy, with prices for every single simple thing we need daily just to survive. don’t try that lame excuse “trump left it for biden to have to fix it. “ur a total idiot. crawl back into your cave. navsecgru veteran says august 27, 2021 at 8:23 am did your parents have any children which lived?!? dumbass. here’s a thought… crack a book, not a beer! dumbass. drumpf’s legacy/epitaph, from historians, will read like this: impeachment (like andrew johnson and bill clinton); the most covid deaths on his watch of any country; another republican economic recession; racial tensions through the roof; siding with nazis in charlottesville; bountygate; blowing putin like a bugle in helsinki; russian prostitutes; 22,000 lies in less than 4 years in office; hate crimes explosion; kids still separated from their parents; suggesting shooting bleach up your @$$ to get rid of covid; most turnover of any administration in history; losing the popular vote twice; idiotic rage tweets; $160,000,000 on golf in one term; 6 bankruptcies; known as “individual one”; an administration with 216 indictments, 47 convictions, and 7 prison sentences; hired more lobbyists in 4 years, than any president in 8 years; losing a billion dollars over a ten year period; draft dodging cowardice; ripping off a kids with cancer charity; ripping off a veterans charity; a fake “university”; the plaintiff in over 3500 civil suits; the medal of freedom to rush limbaugh, tiger woods, and other reprobates; marrying and hiring illegals; hanging out with known pedophiles (epstein, maxwell, casablancas, arif, nader and dersh; walking in on naked teenaged beauty contestants unannounced; called his own daughter “a great piece of ass”; 25 sexual assault accusers; accused of rape by a thirteen year old girl, and refused to provide dna in the carroll rape case; rawdogging porn stars, and paying them hush money; grabbing women by the 🐈; and that is just for starters.. wake up, dumbass drumpf supporters. you remain treasonous in your willful ignorance about this goprick. anonymous says september 1, 2021 at 10:39 pm i bet you change a lot of minds telling people that they are stupid ….. just remember when you point 👉 a finger there’s four points back . we are either going to be divided like the democrats want you to do so we can have socialism and starve or we can change history by standing together finding middle ground trump doesn’t have to be in the picture. he’s already proved how crazy and irrational people are when the media twist words and cuts tape to make it bias. we needed to see that so we can learn how to fix it or change the law to stop it. but standing together is important to stop socialism if you want socialism go to a country that has it already . this is free country still and will be for me until they try to put me in aoc reeducation camp idea. they have them in china for the wiggers it’s not pretty so i’ll die fighting instead scott a hutchins says september 18, 2021 at 10:24 am capitalism has caused starvation throughout the world, including right here in the united states. b says september 9, 2021 at 8:55 am one answer to your dribble. biden has lost more lives due to covid then trump. you failed you are dumb says september 10, 2021 at 2:39 pm god you are a hate mongering idiot. worshipping these people does nothing but make you an angry keyboard warrior thinking anything you say makes a difference. it’s either a geriatric old man who can’t say a complete sentence without stumbling over his words and forgetting where he is, or a big orange blabbering idiot that cries on twitter. the fact that you even consider yourself intelligent when you probably spend all your time in echo chambers so you can give your head full of soup some positive reinforcement, is just really really intellectually dishonest. i can’t even imagine how much anti trump stuff you post online everywhere you go when it does absolutely nothing for you. go see a therapist. biden and trump are both idiots. get over it. no 1 trumper says september 11, 2021 at 2:29 am you are a uneducated idiot. no facts for anything you just stated. you do have a imagination though!!!! brian says september 12, 2021 at 10:00 am well we don’t watch cnn. communist news network.. so a leftists and brainwashed you are damian says september 12, 2021 at 2:31 pm well said, and based from doing really research and knowing the facts rather than name calling like all of trump’s boyfriends. i highly appreciate credible fact based argument over debate fueled by hate. you’re a wise fellow humanitarian. thank you! anonymous says may 20, 2022 at 6:34 am well well….. we’ll….. it couldn’t have been any more clear who was fooled and became a sheep without their own research done after learning false hate smear garbage they know for decades has so easily and simply and scarily worked without an ounce of evidence on a lefts part couldn’t be any more clear and proven. your a sheep. change your address at post office to the rock u been living under. wow. go get your free crack pipes kit he funded 30 million for….ppl like yourself….. to continously dumb america. so sad gerald bresett says august 30, 2021 at 1:37 am robb you nailed it. this every things free moron chris j is so stunned don`t waste your breath. bobbo says september 8, 2021 at 7:00 pm navsecgru veteran comment hits all the points. trump is trash and was steering our country away from a democracy based country to a authoritative state with himself as the great leader.. one of the last insane ideas was for him to able to investigate any and all employee’s working for the federal gov’t. he wanted to fire any employee that did not worship is lying  ucking ass. luckily there were enough intelligent people who recognized his intensions. besides almost constantly lying he always spoke in a divisive manner going after blacks and hispanics and one of his favorites that labeled liberals as communists. i find his actions and intensions very easy to spot but far right folks think he is a god? just for fun trace the style and actions that hitler used to gain power step by step. you’ll find many matches in style and ideas. he like trump also used divisive speeches to demonize groups and individuals. it was and is so easy to see but a lot of his supporters based on their own words appeared to be less educated and showed brainwashed minds that just repeated trumps words like speaking as a live puppets. they came off as a strange pack of lemmings. trumps use of right wing and other hate groups to attack the capitol.. i believe he is a traitor to america. his response to covid 19 was criminal and he committed mass murder by directing health supplies from democratic states to other states with republican leadership. pointed out by numerous newspapers and our denver post. he provide no federal help in supplies or cash assistance to states that provide large revenue to the federal government coffers. his throwing the states the responsibility of providing any needed health supplies was illogical and his stealing of those supplies and redirecting to republican states was criminal. the guy’s a traitor to american joblow says september 23, 2021 at 9:15 pm the scariest thing about you bobo is that you truely believe your own bullshit randall cyr says august 30, 2021 at 7:11 am exactly right rob finally some people are opening their eyes and seeing the facts. how could any sensible person in their right mind think biddumb and his administration is good for this country is beyond me, is there really over 78 million people that stupid that live here in the united states. rob it’s really nice to hear somebody like you stand up and say what the hell are you talking about, lol there is a question that we could ask some of these dumb s**** what does biden really done that’s helped us in the last 20 years. that will shut 90% of the clueless people from saying anything at all keep up the good work to rob. 😂. anonymous says august 30, 2021 at 1:08 pm what is your problem, hater? can’t you convey your view without having to call people names? what are you 12? each person has an opinion. why don’t you try to respect that rule? anonymous says september 14, 2021 at 10:02 pm why don’t you? you called him a hater 🤣 anonymous says september 1, 2021 at 10:48 pm i agree 💯 i wish everyone would read between the lines when watching or reading the news . they twist the story by tricks to get you to assume what they want you to . if you listen carefully they don’t use exact language and they screw with definitions of words like rascit so that they can confuse and deceive you. thank god for people that see through the lies and manipulation. autonomous female says september 2, 2021 at 11:59 pm robb, you should use a comma after “touch” in your first sentence. as for the second sentence, i can’t offer much help. i wouldn’t know where or how to begin. i would suggest a library card, remedial grammar lessons from your local public grammar school, reading anything other than religious “end times” tracts, even if it’s just for five minutes a day. all of these simple exercises would be of benefit to your well being. they are truly among the “single simple thing we need daily just to survive.” and the best part is, they don’t cost a penny. . says september 11, 2021 at 3:45 am honestly, believe whatever you want, you suffer the proper consequences. mary jane says october 2, 2021 at 11:36 am you just proved what your unholy leader said he loves the uneducated. what a bunch of cry babies you trumpsters are, i say leave the union and take trump with you and you are not getting another dime from the blue states who are keeping you fed. sam says august 24, 2021 at 10:28 pm lol comments like yours are why we need your kind of people out of this country and need to have non senile and sensible people in power. mary jane says august 28, 2021 at 5:48 am we need animals like you out of our country!! your hatred is palpable!! you’re not american, you’re anti american!! anonymous says august 25, 2021 at 12:38 am this statement sounds just like where we are right now with biden? kevin w thornton says august 25, 2021 at 9:46 pm thanx for your respect for your freedom.you are so self centered you don’t see life in the real word and it is sad to all soldiers in america . rommel derivera says august 29, 2021 at 2:58 pm wow u most likely are a narcissist wih a i’m better than thoucomplex!!! anonymous says september 1, 2021 at 10:42 pm why are you so hateful? your accusing someone for what you are doing . i call that a hypocrite georgia brown says september 8, 2021 at 1:17 pm you are crazy and stupid. chief says september 28, 2021 at 2:52 pm who’s out of touch with reality? i’d say those crying defund police, then defunding police, then refunding police because of the violence. i’d say those who ended the 3rd country agreement, reinstated catch and release then ended up with 2 million illegal crossers, then have the gall to say they inherited the crisis. or maybe those that halted a pipeline that benefited the us but gave putin the green light for his pipeline then begged opec to produce more of what we were forced to stop producing. or is it those that have made it illegal to call a woman they instead of she? i could go on and on. policy differences are one thing but reality checks are necessary. mike hawk says october 1, 2021 at 11:30 pm you truly are a blind socialist. russia anyone?… natcho mama says august 8, 2021 at 9:45 pm do you know what we hate. money, the slave collar the right keeps choking us with while laughing and killing people off. anyone that dies to them is some sort of sacrifice that wasn’t worthy in the first place. there should be no money. that is what ruined the planet. everyone is a greedy nasty person out there. the left sucks off corporate america to no end. it is disgusting. there need to be wage caps imposed on every job in america to stop them from killing off the poor and taking advantage over everyone. there should be a law against any religious people in office. any office, not even a school board. your god can suck it because there is not one. good job killing off the pain killers for everyone including those with chronic pain like me. the left killed off a lot of people with heart attacks, strokes and suicides. not that the left cares, they have some notion that anyone in pain deserves it and they are sinners getting the payment they deserve. i curse all of the left and hope they die screaming in fear and pain, lots of pain. the left hired some dick who knows nothing about prescribing pain medication and he had a naked guy strung out running around his compound the night you were there checking out his so called “phoenix house” . kolondy should be thrown out of the country along with grover norquist another of your nazi soldiers. drop them off in afghanistan. grant degaramo says august 12, 2021 at 6:44 am if america is so horrible, why do so many people want to come here, and hardly anybody wants to leave!! people from all over the world come here for med care and education, etc., because we have the best the world has to offer!! some people on the left praise countries like cuba and china when their people and the people of other socialist countries are suffering from poverty and persecution!! socialism and communism has never worked no matter where it’s been tried!! america is not perfect, but it’s the best the world has to offer!! so many people said they would leave america when trump won in 2016. but i have yet to learn of any of them following through!! anonymous says september 3, 2021 at 10:54 pm i’d love to leave the state of texas which just restricted abortion rights even further (and i’ve gone through menopause, so it doesn’t apply to me). i would love to move to new mexico where buying marijuana is legal to help w/ my arthritis and glaucoma!! grant degaramo says august 12, 2021 at 7:09 am why do atheists hate christians so much?? true christians who follow the teachings of judy’s christ are the most compassionate and generous people in the world!! christian churches and organizations have done more to help the poor and suffering in this world than any other group or groups!! i’m talking about true believers and followers of christ , not christians in name only!! bob says august 23, 2021 at 10:30 am very good question. i am an atheist. i don’t believe fundamentally that true christians have any bad intent. after all the book you hold so dear says to help others and not judge etc. so does the quran and other religious texts. what annoys non christians (not just atheists) is when so many comments that really have no right to be aligned with “what god said” keep cropping up in threads without good cause, and used as a conversational n closer. it is ok to have a debate about pretty much anything(with exceptions of course) but having it closed down by suggesting it’s ok for them cos god said so (one of many “trust in god” retorts) just annoys people. because what that means is either you just plainly lost the debate, or you realized you didn’t know enough about a subject to declare you knew the answer…and then god is mentioned. there’s is also a big different between having a belief and being part of an institution of religion. institutions throughout time are renowned to have self perpetuating dogma not related to the original intent. there are way too many evangelical groups that are actually working no different to a grifting corporation, and not even having to pay taxes. so given my response, i would be interested in your retort as to why some christians (not all) are so self righteous over their opinions in so many things? kevin w thornton says august 25, 2021 at 9:50 pm freedom look it up in the real meaning.dont add to it anonymous says august 12, 2021 at 8:28 am god loves you too! guest says august 16, 2021 at 6:18 am the lefts are very brain dead altogether which is why we have this problem today, since it is all about money for them which they could care less about everyone else. i hope god punishes them very severely. larry says september 7, 2021 at 9:07 pm why is it ok for obomba. to put a target. on. special. forses. then. give. the enemy. the time. and. date. and. place where. are going. to. be. ,hillary. took. security. away. from. other. places. and got people. killed. biden. just leaves. them. behind. to. get killed. is. this. the. way. of. a. democratic. gov? is. this. sanity. or. what? mary jane says october 3, 2021 at 8:41 pm you are wrong as usual the left is not brain dead their not the idiots that voted for a racist, homophobic, womanizer. and he was a horrible president. bonnie says august 16, 2021 at 4:44 pm well if you hate the right and the left so much what is left? maybe you and some of your like minded friends should go in together and purchase an island somewhere and start your own utopia and see how that works out for you. just sayin' says august 18, 2021 at 5:10 pm so…you’re an anarchist? or libertarian? in any instance, you make no sense anonymous says august 18, 2021 at 8:04 pm liberals the extreme left , democrats & labour are a danger to the civerlized west , they own the media , tv , radio , newspapers , but real people the 90 % know the lies these vermin try to convince us with is not working anymore!!! especially as we can watch real news on the internet now !!! you extreme left nazi’s will loose !!! even if you bring out your vile army “antifa ” to beat mame & kill normal members of the public sick to death of our western civilisation being attacked on a daily basis!!!!!! bob says august 23, 2021 at 10:15 am that’s complete nonsense. and showing the exact antithesis of the original letter to the editor. spewing anti left insults demonstrates the original article can be thrown straight back at the extreme right. and i pointed out theses are both notional tribal constructs. you’ve been indoctrinated into hating the opposite team, whether that is gop or dems. and using antifa as your crutch is wrong. consider it means anti fascist. do if you are fundamentally against anti fascists, you are declaring you are all for fascism. which didn’t work out too well in europe. sandy mcintosh says august 26, 2021 at 3:42 pm you wrote that antifa means anti fascist. i strongly disagree. while antifa does try to portray themselves as anti fascist their actions “speak” louder than “words”. fascism is ultra nationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy. sound familiar? simply, antifa fuels riots, they are vandals, they believe in marxism, they use violence against any person who has a different view or belief, they suppress free speech, they inflict damage to other innocent people’s property, that alone makes them fascist. they are promoting the exact opposite of anti fascism. close your eyes and think how the nazi’s treated the jews. the only difference is nazi’s wore brown and went for jews, antifa wears black and cover their faces and go after anybody who disagrees with them. mary jane says october 2, 2021 at 11:45 am you have no idea what you are talking about the usual trumpster uneducated idiot. right is nuts says october 3, 2021 at 9:28 am sounds like the proud girls to me. lol mary jane says october 3, 2021 at 8:47 pm another idiot for trump that has no idea what they are talking about, if you think trump is a great guy you are not paying attention or just pain dumb. that is why trump says he loves the poorly educated it was not a complement. keith says august 31, 2021 at 12:59 am your very right the left burns down cities and kills innocent people and destroys businesses without even knowing who owns them they getmadover racism so there answer is to destroy their neighbors property and to set fire to black and white businesses alike all the while looting and stealing anything not nailed down meanwhile the same hypocrites act like the insersion at the capitol was this big assassination on the united states if it was them who lost the election and felt cheated it would not be some guy dressed like an indian and a bunch of rowdy mad people riding up papers and yelling no if it was the other way around the democrats would have set fire to everything and looted every store within miles of the capital and set fire to washington just like they did in portland and so many other places no i and the media would have put out the narrative can you blame these poor democrats they were cheated out of the election threw racism and false claims by the terrible trump monster thank god these great americans fought back and stole the from the wall marts and set fire to racism they would use the word racism to justify it all cuz who can argue with that narrative shame on those terrible republicans for saying make america great again it was never great how could it beit was never a socialist nation like we wanted now let’s all take a knee to the national anthem and burn 🔥 something in the name of freedom mary jane says october 2, 2021 at 11:43 am you trump idiots donnot know your history you and trump are the traitors and act like the nazis not the democrats. jlw.justinew@grandpad.me says august 19, 2021 at 7:04 am natchomama, what an ignorrent slut you sound. you dont know what your talking, so you should maybe die with your other nasty reds! thisisthelist says august 20, 2021 at 9:30 pm to hate trump is to love america. the trumpers who bashed capitol police officers with flagpoles from their thin blue line flags, breaking into the capitol building to, “find pelosi”, and “hang mike pence”, didn’t do all that because they love america. they hate america, they hate the constitution   especially that annoying “democracy” thing. jan says august 21, 2021 at 1:01 am it was under trump that pain meds were cut off. mark says august 22, 2021 at 9:10 am you have sealed your fate with this ignorantly fabricated blather of false satanic ideology. your eternal existence in hell is secured. what a moronic point of view you have about life and your creator. i pray that you change your heart before it is too late. good luck because you need help ! autonomous female says september 3, 2021 at 12:18 am pick a god, any god…could it be any more evident they all hate women, children and the poor. the christian god is apparently, corporate personhood. has been since the regan years. religion…the ultimate form of tribalism and the surest means of the ruling classes to work the peasants into enough of a frenzy that they would do all the heavy lifting, and fight all the wars, murder or abuse their neighbors, in the name of some invisible deadbeat dad in the sky…without the aristocracy ever having to chip a nail. larders protected in the name of thy lord? check. defender of the faith says october 3, 2021 at 5:30 pm my goodness you’re dumb but you sure are stupid you probably wanting me alive when reagan was in office god has been the god of the world and the god of all creation since the beginning of time you’re a liar and just like your father the devil you make me sick you people make me sick kill babies and then you want to tell us how bad we are you make me sick may the lord god almighty god judge you or just between me and you and in that day you stand before me you will see that he is the lord god almighty god end timer says august 8, 2021 at 11:09 am i have to laugh at some of these comments but when it comes down to to god is in control and i’ll be locked and load ed d for the coming civil war. no i’m not afraid to die for what i believe, are you? anonymous says august 11, 2021 at 12:09 pm i believe that it’s past time for that to happen but the real culprits are in washington. this whole election and the party in control was orchestrated from both sides of the isle. republicans going along with socialist democrats to thin out the countries population with covid and the vaccine. they didn’t win the election but everybody just stepped aside and let them have it i imagine just like planned. after all it’s basically the rich trying to eliminate the common citizens and the rich come from both sides. anonymous says august 13, 2021 at 8:41 am they don’t just sayin' says august 18, 2021 at 5:08 pm if god is in control, what do you need to be “locked and loaded” for? wouldn’t he prevent said civil war? seems contradictory to me. arcadia berger says august 2, 2021 at 7:27 pm when you begin from a false premise, you are never going to finish with a useful conclusion. the left hates america? junior, the left built america, starting from when a leftist named thomas jefferson stuck his thumb in the eye of the right wingers in london by brashly telling them that an outrageous left wing notion like the universal equality of all human beings, an idea that could start a fight in any pub in the western world, was “self evident”. we kicked out the right wing tories. a lifetime later, we whupped the right wing southern plantation owners and freed their slaves. a lifetime after that, we crossed the ocean and defeated the right wing kaiser, and came back a generation later to flatten his right wing successors in germany, italy and japan. a generation after that, we on the left shoved your right wing jim crow off the table. our dr. king and his poor people’s campaign made you so made you finally killed him, but we just kept right on pushing, and nothing you have thrown at us, from ed meese to bill barr, has stopped us yet. we’re going to go right on building up this nation, no matter how hard you work to stop us, no matter how many times you try to turn this country into the kind of swamp you want, where a handful of privileged people live in luxury and the rest of us suffer in the muck down below, so the chosen few can feel even better about themselves by seeing how much we suffer by comparison. we have been building a great nation for 400 years, and one day it will truly be great, and you cannot stop us. extinguishselfishamericans says august 8, 2021 at 7:36 am you’re not wrong, the political schism is an illusion. i hate america because of all the lazy, dumb, disgustingly fat, selfish and needy poses. joe says august 16, 2021 at 5:24 am leave.!!!! guest says october 19, 2021 at 8:55 pm burn in hell with satan. anonymous says august 8, 2021 at 5:53 pm republicans ended slavery run by democrats and blacks did not build america nor will they ever do anything other than kill each other and blame everyone white person for thier own weak short coming shoulda left your asses in africa but even your own didn’t want you that’s why they sold you and being smart they sold us the bottom of the barrel of african people gth says august 12, 2021 at 11:16 pm you are so right i feel the same as you about getting those no good black welfare sucking asshole s and england got us good those bastards are the ones who brought those stinky ass people here to get even with america for kicking there british assholes when we claimed this country !! brennan says august 17, 2021 at 4:10 pm notice how the comment you replied to used the terms left and right instead of democrat and republican? the reason for that is because left and right describe a spectrum with clearly defined attributes to either side, so that no matter what other words you call a group you can sort them based on their place on the spectrum. ie. either progressive/liberal or conservative/regressive. the words democrat and republican are just words that we choose to apply to the groups that are defined within the spectrum. the words, to no surprise, can be switched without changing any meaning, as in we could start calling democrats republican and republicans democrat (you know, kinda like what actually happened), but that would not change where they are on the spectrum. it would only change the word we call them. so, you see that you are being a completely disingenuous boob with your claim. after all, were the republicans of the civil war progressive or conservative? and were the southern democrats conservative or progressive? please tell me you understand the concept… anonymous says august 18, 2021 at 8:38 am republicans in the 1860s thru the 1950s were leftists. the democrats were conservatives back then. jmullins665 says august 18, 2021 at 8:47 am the republicans were leftists in the 1860s thru the 1950s, dumbass. leftist freed the slaves. democrats had been right wingers all the way up past the depression. then once yall got your bread line sacks and your gi bill that excluded blacks, and got a good education while sending blacks to subpar schools, forced them to take shit jobs with shit pay, leaving their descendants with no inheritance or generational wealth to speak of, then, then, you call them lazy because they are still overwhelmingly poor comparatively. you really know how to stack the cards, don’t you? eat a dick, bruh. jesus hates you. sharonkatakis says august 18, 2021 at 12:16 pm this kind of hate keeps us in doom!!! what happened to love thy neighbor? this is the real reason why the u.s. is in such termoil,we have lost our way towards god!!! autonomous female says september 3, 2021 at 1:09 am some of us don’t believe in god. yet, we manage to live among you with empathy and concern for your well being. i know it’s difficult for some of you to believe this is true because, you’ve been taught that those who don’t believe in god, worship satan, instead. i do not worship anything, anyone, any being. i know there is the capacity within me not to do harm if i can help it. to work hard not to hate, not to take or use more than i need, to understand that the globe we share is the one sure thing that sustains us all, and to act as best i can with that in mind. i don’t need god to understand this concept, i only have to look in the eyes of your children, to see the eyes of my own children. that’s enough for me to understand, it’s up to me…up to all of us. it always has been and always will be. it’s time we all stopped fobbing our responsibility off on gods and kings and started looking out for one another, again. life is hard, brutal and short. especially, for the peasant classes. i want to do what i can to alleviate the misery and despair i see all around me in my broken country. brother can you spare a dime? not likely i’ll ever have one to spare, but i can and will share my dinner with you if you are hungry. no strings attached. no sermons for you to endure. only a little music, a little story telling and laughter between us…and maybe a little help with the dishes would be nice. jan says august 21, 2021 at 1:04 am you do realize that there was a flip in parties right? what used to be republicans are now modern democrats.. see the southern strategy for context. also, if you look back, the “colors” of blue and red were flipped. anonymous says august 9, 2021 at 1:56 am the silent opposition to your lunacy and delusions will one day rise up and hand you your backside. we are bigger in number than you could ever imagine. 1st we watch you turn the nation you “built”, inside out. then as you loose your support and ability to spin the narrative, we watch and laugh as you turn on each other. the likes of you have only built 1 thing, a spiral staircase to a very deserving portion of hell. anonymous says august 12, 2021 at 8:30 am amen!!! me says august 9, 2021 at 11:07 am i’m going to tell people something that will probably get me cancalled!”quote un quote.read un agenda 21.read who brought that on the floor of congress in 1992.?nancy pelosi..chuck schumer

100 national countries. biden i has alzheimer’s. should have never run. they all new it. covid was under control, know is not. democrat, why would you allow this. they cannot vote for years,they clog our medical, schools get better treatment than my working daughter paying for insurance that is bad. they get medicade. she works with women that have baby daddy’s that live in the house. they love very well. my daughter makes 43,000.00 a year has to pay for unbelievable no coverage for her and her son. she is an american. what is wrong with this picture……. anonymous says august 23, 2021 at 3:33 pm bravo,new world order.what better way to control the masses,constant vaccines and masks while overpricing food and gas which will eliminate jobs and ultimately make us a 3rd world country.republicans are full of crap too but they just want companies to make money.but to all corporate haters,companies will always make money,so do you want to pay less while rich get richer or more and live in an ally,your choice. mr. ballard says august 9, 2021 at 9:29 pm dr. fauci everyone has to wear a mask! i personally think this guy went out and created another version of virus just to try and be in control he is a very sick and power hungry person. anonymous says august 12, 2021 at 6:06 pm true grow up america its time to act like we care about the outcome says august 10, 2021 at 12:32 pm bruh you sound so passionate yet il informed at the same time, how do you do that lol? me says august 16, 2021 at 6:45 pm lol grant degaramo says august 12, 2021 at 6:54 am the poorest of people in america have it better than 75% of the rest of the world!! that’s because of free market capitalism not socialism or communism!! countries like russia and china have persecuted and killed millions in the name of their glorious communism. america is not perfect, but it’s the best the world has to offer!! government control of everything only leads to human misery under communism!! grant degaramo says august 12, 2021 at 6:59 am why does anyone’s comment need moderation?? is it because you just don’t agee with someone who is a conservative?? bob says august 23, 2021 at 10:55 am err….. where did you get this 75% from? free market capitalism without some control would have trashed the american system long ago. you out social rules in place to make a society. you have laws. you have government to keep a structure to society and enforce the rules. how is that not socialist in nature. noone is advocating communism except that the extreme right and those with big money keep propagating the idea that the usa is about to topple into the cesspool of “commies coming to get ya”. so that pushes those malleable enough to be pushed further right and make those at the top of the rw machinery even richer. as for the usa model being the best the world has to offer… that is plainly bot true, but that likely is because you don’t know about other countries. and finally, who told you anyone wants everything controlled by government? cos that’s not true either. just saying. anonymous says august 13, 2021 at 1:25 am you really don’t now what your talking about, your off on so many facts in your rant. i don’t even know where to start. it seems that every evil is from the right . hitler, mussolini japan… really. very uninformed people might actually believe your bullshit. . i had to say something. thanks for going on and on just proving how wrong you actually are.. and that you are full of information from the crazy wagon. brett stenevich says august 13, 2021 at 9:01 pm hallelujah!! 👏🏻 tyler k says august 14, 2021 at 3:29 am never have i read a thread with so much hate for your fellow americans. all of u folks should be ashamed. whether you live in a blue state or a red state, you still live in a free state. this internal bickering and thinking that somehow your political beliefs make you superior to anybody else in your country or across the world for that matter is disgraceful. i spoke with a russian playing chess online. while we sit here and chastise each other and the “socialists” this guy could speak no ill of his country. after i told him what this country was about he came to appreciate america. and i came to appreciate russia and this individual and their beliefs. you people need to stop hating what you don’t understand. the left does not hate america any more than the right. maybe if you took a moment to talk and agree with a supposed “leftist” you would realize that you share a lot more in common than you would believe. hiding behind your internet hating half of the country because they disagree with you merely exacerbates our narcissistic tendencies. are we a country of narcissists, or are we a nation of civility and respect? look at ur comments and tell me? or why not reach across the table and give your comrade a handshake for beating you in a game of chess. maybe we can’t agree on some things, but at least we can enjoy a game of chess together. michael j navin says august 15, 2021 at 5:11 am fyi the republican party represented african americans after slavery. the democrats where still pro south and slavery .its ok to recite history. but tell all of it. becuase the party’s changed course over history. so look at the party during the period. i am anti big government . i am pro people. the people are the government. it’s sad we have a bunch of billuonars protected by the system abusing the system and telling us what to do . it’s our money we run the show not them. wake up. they got us fighting each other over false narratives or government created narratives. while the get rich doing the stuff they tell us not to do. we need to drain the swamp and change politics in amerucan so it represents the people and not the politicions best interest. anonymous says august 15, 2021 at 8:57 pm excellent reply mack says august 15, 2021 at 9:17 pm plantation owners we predominantly democrat. jim crow was written by democrats. the democrat president today joe biden was against desecration. and nazi germany was a totalitarian socialist party. how about you do some research before spitting out cnn sound bites. not saying republicans are all good either both parties are corrupt and it is time for a government reset but republicans freed the slaves( abraham lincoln) and republicans pushed the civil rights act on and republicans were at least smart enough to vote for a man that was mean on twitter but had a fantastic record as president( while be it the dude was a huge jerk [child safe but you know what i want to say] over a completely brain dead twit that doesnt even know when and where he is at. oh and p.s america isn’t 400 years old. founded in 1776. you could really use a history class or maybe 12. anonymous says august 16, 2021 at 4:52 pm learn history u nitwit me says august 16, 2021 at 6:37 pm ummm….let’s just start with any easy one….jim crow law was enacted by democrates. me says august 16, 2021 at 6:43 pm riiiight…and it wasn’t like there were other reasons to free the slaves, say the fact that slavery was coming to an end around the world, and certainly had nothing to do with those nice ports in the south that the north sure could use for all those manufacturing companies…. noooo…nothing to do with that….. nor the fact that lincoln personally slaughtered indians…. but other then that, what a great guy. …. history and facts??? the story is written by the one who wins, yvonne puchalla says august 17, 2021 at 10:21 am read the nkj bible and you will find any answer you want! dems use to be for the people until johnson who brought in welfare, food stamps to help the poor! the christian charities help anyone who wants help and you do not have to be member! gov. takes tax money to promote poor to stay at home, like biden is doing now. they’re are a lot of any color who made it, gov. makes you believe otherwise! sad, good morals are bad now, bad morals are the norm or you are a bigot pray, pray jotaro kujo says august 26, 2021 at 12:30 pm “a generation after that, we on the left shoved your right wing jim crow off the table.” you do realize the southern states were more aligned with the democrats of the time, and also that jim crow was instated by a democrat president? if i recall correctly, it was a republican who emancipated the slaves. biff henderson says november 2, 2021 at 10:28 am good attempt to try and explain things in left/liberal and right/conservatives terms. unfortunately, most of the mouth breathing tools who want to claim lincoln, a liberal, for the republican party are too mind numbed by the conservative media machine to even think before spewing nonsense. jw worcester says july 31, 2021 at 6:40 pm so simplistic as to be obviously false. no one is advocating total equality of outcome. but people are concerned with equal opportunity or equal access. any time someone brings up the issue   you all say perfect access already exists. the republican party didn’t exist until 1850’s. the southern segregationists were all in the democratic party. the southern segregationists all became republicans after barry goldwater, george mcgovern, and ronald reagan. their “sense of equality” has carried over into the current republican/dixiecrat party. real conservatism is not favoring corporations, but an economy built from within the middle class. which is how our country prospered until the 1970’s when bean counters rather than engineers dominated the board rooms.. these problems we have in america are all known to us. you all say that’s just life. others say our declaration commits us to the goal of accomplishing our aspirations. and they are simple. equal access to all, livable wages, and capital formation at the local banks destinova says august 2, 2021 at 2:21 pm jw, sounds real good. good call. i was pondering the “dividing” thing. like you’re a this and i’m a that used to divide and conquer that way we forget about the truth in conspiracy theories and stay dormant. like what about 911 and bush? if so, we got nothing and we aren’t going to get anything. who is “we”? we is the awake, alien vs jezes fans. . ever read the comments on yt… saying like… amen, its in the lords hands now? omg. we aren’t ever going to evolve beyond the psychos running the show with comments like.. amen brother… haha… does anyone remember the moments before they were born and remember seeing your parents seconds before birth? i do and it sure as hell wasn’t jezes, it was the real men in black the grey aliens. stay asleep and divided that’s the psychos like it. thank you for your thoughtful post : ) alex says august 3, 2021 at 12:52 pm “the southern segregationists all became republican” wrong! this is why the democrats pushed this propaganda to change a narrative in there favor 🙄 anyone who knows history understands this ‘weak plot’. too many whiners says august 10, 2021 at 12:48 pm thank you! when will the rest of the world understand that the people in america that everyone are bashing aren’t the ones creating the problems, they look into our culture and our government and make assumptions that line up with their culture and their government when, news flash! america is a very different country and every single person in this country has a different thought/opinion about everything (that’s called freedom in case you didn’t know) there are differences that are ignored because the democrats choose to ignore them and they are refusing to share that information with young impressionable people just to secure a vote. how’s the economy been biden? oh just go ahead and blame everything on covid like everyone else. and before anyone tries to call me a boomer i am 21 and i used to be left but when you grow up and start paying bills you quickly realize that there’s a reason for a right mentality and it has nothing to do with race or any of this other crap that everyone’s whining about. guy sick of the treasonous liars dividing america to leech off of us. says august 13, 2021 at 9:07 am right wing mentality is why you pay so much to get so little, but left wing mentality is no different, nor is centrist mentality. you all sit there acting like you’re better than the other, but none of you are actually doing anything, but complaining about conspiracies, & being fed lies about yoir respective parties. me i ain’t one of any of you hypocritical parties. you’re all frauds that differ only ever so slightly on an issue, & depending on who tries to tell you the same damned things over, & over again you either worship them, or scream angrily. if it was a democrat the right gets mad over an issue, but if a republican sends the very same message you right wingers cheer, & celebrate them as a god, especially the more hateful of the left it is. of course when you send the same message with no indication of who it’s from, or what side it’s told from you jump to your conclusions then depending on who, & what the person was you again either cheer, or cry in anger saying stupid things like “they’re no republican,” or “they’re no democrat.” time for america to grow up, & retrace our roots purely from fact, & not overly politicized bullshit that politicians use to divide america daily. the truth is the country is being torn apart by politics, & the savage asshole politicians who only care about profiting off us. it’s just with more recent years the racist, fake christians, & other so called religiouszealots who use god to blasphemously spread the word of hate, & murder, & neonazis alike have poisoned the right wingers because they are indoctrinated in such hateful fashion of anyone they’re told is an affront to their ideals regardless of how true, or untrue it is. meanwhile the left wingers are left struggling to clean up the hateful anti american, & highly sacrilegious mess of the unfortunately cluelessly brainwashed, & corrupted right, & in order to defend themselves from their corrupted sense of patriotism that in a truly disloyal fanatic, & very nazi fashion causes them the right wingers to violently lash out at, & even seek to kill left wingers. all the while hypocritically preaching from their falsely sanctimonious perches claiming they’re just fullfilling their patriotic duty their sad nazi like indoctrinated little minds have come to believe is genuine patriotism. well, this is america, & we aren’t nazis, & we aren’t loyal to america if we’re being loyal exclusively to a single person, or handful of politicians who tell us to hate the other guys so they can continue to leech off of america’s divide. oh, & the wage gaps are necessary? whoever thinks that must enjoy maintaining an impoverished state. while yes it is impossible to maintain a completely equally balanced economy under the mentality of say communism the gap is so damningly large that it adversely affects america, & is exclusively responsible for the constantly terrible economy of our country. we are a nation drowning in debt because the damned wage gap is so immense that it grossly has poisoned our economy. our creedo is united we stand, divided we fall. that doesn’t mean we blindly agree with everything each other says, but without a willingness to put aside our worst differences at the very least, & work together for the survival of this country we will not survive. that means so we disagree on a few things, big deal get over it. just look at what political division has done to america over the last decade. politicians have divided us in hate because we ignorantly reelect the same hatefulbastards whouse their positions, & the division to make it easier to rob us blind. after all if you’re blinded by hate, rage, & constant suspicion of your neighbor you aren’t likely to pay a thief stealing stealthily from you any mind. this our country, so let’s stop listening to people trying to divide us, & start actimg like americans again. oh, & religious fellows remember that america was created for freedom from religion not oppression by religion, so stop blasphemously using god to spread hate, & control everything you hate in such an ugly anti american sentiment. oppression, terrorism, death threats, racism, sexism, bigotry, all these things are entirely unamerican, & thus we systematically have tried to purge them. just remember a nation so greatly divided in hate, rage, & suspicion only benefits its enemies. nazi germany lost for 2 major reasons the comstant infighting caused by suspicion, rage, & hate, & allied resolve to win at any costs, so we could all be free from that hateful hell that we are so dangerously close to reliving. stop listening to the hate in your hearts that politicians prey on, & be americans again. stop being taken in by these treasonous conspirarorial articles telling you to unamericanly hate your neighbors because they want you to think they hate america. it isn’t america they hate, it’s the animosity, the fake grandstanding, the mirderous wrath because they just want the same equality, liberty, & justice our blasted nation promised them that many right wingers afe unfortunately so clearly opposed to. it is their right as it is yours to live safely, & happily, & to so violently, & vehemently object to their rights is to be not just unamerican,but anti american! jan says august 21, 2021 at 1:14 am sorry man, you are wrong. go study some history! read about the southern strategy. you are only 21 and think you have all the answers. ah, the hubris of the young. “youth is wasted on the young,” and that’s a fact. do you want to live in a healthy society, or turn the us into brazil? do you want people to be educated? these things cost money and every generation older than you have paid into it. bob says august 22, 2021 at 4:10 am you were making such a good point about individual freedom and individual thought. then you go straight into boxing people into dems or gop. the thing is you are right and wrong at the same time. there’s nothing wrong with being capitalist. it is human nature. but that’s true for left and right thinking. ironically the left leaning or workers unions, or any other collective is exercising capitalism…. “what’s in it for me and mine”. until you are truly comfortable in you life (safety and comfort) then the human mind will always prioritise itself. the difference is the left “social” idiology is to wrap some fundamentals so we can all expect and accept we all have a duty. without that concept you’d have no police in the first place, and you’d have no tarmac road to take you from your home to anywhere you wanna drive. that is collective responsibility. many of these posts start as a good paragraph and slowly launch in to a deriding monologue of “the others”. an ideal society will encapsulate the ability to exceed at what you want   tending towards money (because it brings comfort and security), yet at the same time have social constructs to support that society. and a society is only considered good for all, when it is literally good for all is there a difference between wanting rules, laws and constructs to live by, and wanting to ensure there are rules laws and constructs to ensure everyone is safe and a level of comfort? to be completely capitalist, you wouldn’t ever give a damn and cooperate with anyone ; to be complete socialist you won’t do anything that doesn’t first benefit everyone else, regardless of your own situation. neither of these work and we would have died out as a species a long time ago. confusing gop and dems with these two constructs is at best disingenuous. they are political parties and by observation majority of politicians are trying to line their own pockets before they even think about you or society. back to the original post. i find it a construct to manipulate you based on a false premise that anything that is not absolute rw is full of hate. that’s not true, it cannot be true. then to argue about gop and dems ase justification for pack mentality whilst not accepting the two packs have swapped roles over time is again disingenuous. and for some they are in a high state of denial. everyone is individual and everyone sits on a sliding scale. what i observe about the loudest voices from the rw is “if you’re not with us, you’re against us”. whilst the loudest voices on the lw seem to spend too much time pointing at rw saying “look what they’ve done” and do the same pocketing of resources as the rw. progressives/liberals can be derided by both extremes of thinking, but the irony is they are more like the average human that either extreme wishes to admit. just a thought. sabrina gray says october 7, 2021 at 10:38 am best comment yet. lucinda mcguire says august 4, 2021 at 11:53 am after my parkinson’s disease diagnosis, my primary care provider introduced me to kycuyu health clinic and their parkinson’s disease formula protocol, the herbal treatment has made a tremendous difference for me. my symptoms including numbness and muscle weakness all disappeared after the treatment plan! their website is w w w. kycuyuhealthclinic. c o m mike collins says august 4, 2021 at 5:39 pm typical republican, why can’t they see people for who they are instead of the color of their skin. the middle class are the one’s that made these corporations rich and yet they want to pay us wages that we have to work two jobs and our wives have to work another one. the reason many are living in poverty is because of the wealthy that don’t pay their fair share of taxes and now with the tax cuts trump gave to the rich they are paying nothing compared to the people making 40,000 a year as far as percentage. what is the matter with helping people out, have you no compassion for anyone ? i bet if you were alive in the 1800’s you would have been a slave owner and getting rich off their hard work. you people are the worst. just like i said i will be alive to piss on trumps grave. mike collins needs to check himself says august 10, 2021 at 1:11 pm lmao being a republican has nothing to do with race, maybe you should check yourself because you do realize that most plantation owners were democrats? and being white has nothing to do with paying your dues everyone has to pay taxes, and how much you have to pay has to do with how much money you make and if your assuming that all white people are rich then you need to come to my town buddy and look down a couple streets and try to say that. poverty exists everywhere and trust me it doesn’t care about race geezer says august 13, 2021 at 2:57 am we the middle class and the poor pay all the taxes. the rich pay nothing. anonymous says august 21, 2021 at 1:18 am you clearly don’t know history. read about the southern strategy. the democrats that you talk about and now the republican party! they exploit you with “dog whistles” about social issues and religion, just to get your vote. the current dem party is the old republican party. why is the south so poor? study that. anonymous says september 22, 2021 at 7:00 pm ah yes the “great party switch” of a grand total of two people…. thats totally why joe biden a straight registered democrat went to the klan leader’s rally, voted against blacks in every bill, and literally jailed more then almost every republican politician to date with his bills, but sure it was they that freed em “cough cough bull cough cough” jim terry says august 10, 2021 at 1:21 pm bruh you have obviously never worked a job or made any money to yourself, there’s a reason people get greedy when they work hard for something, i mean isn’t that what your doing right now? in my opinion people with your mentality are the worst and are the root of the problem, quit asking for handouts, if you are so worried about living without having to work hard then why did you vote for someone who was going to raise the cost of living. maybe you should actually do some research for yourself instead of hopping on the bandwagon. fname lname says august 20, 2021 at 5:31 pm nobody is asking for handouts, they are just pointing out the reality that white owned corporations are not paying workers a livable wage yet corporate higher ups are taking home annual salaries and bonuses that could solve homelessness in most major cities! anonymous says august 12, 2021 at 6:44 am thank you for speaking truth. the only problem is that most republicans are too stupid, i’ll educated and just downright hateful to understand anything other than their own prejudices against anyone different than themselves. i kind of really pity them. they’d keep sending money to the biggest conman in the world by the name of trump who is laughing all the way to the bank.. phil says august 14, 2021 at 1:23 pm sorry to inform you. but all slave owners were democrats. republicans started with lincoln in the 1850s. he won the war against the democratic slave owners. democrats started the jim crow laws. democrats also said blacks only account for 2/3 of a vote. republicans struck them down. democrats were the kkk. anything that work against black people were democratic laws. it changed in the 1960s when the democrats realized they needed the black vote to keep power. if it was not for that. it would of taken 20 more years. today the democrats started the antifa (anti first ammendment) blm   racist organization. so to blame trump for the democrats mess is wrong. you need to stop watching the nazie cnn, msnbc and a couple others. i am not saying fox is 100% great. but they are 80%. correct while the others are 10%. read your history. not the bs the nazie channels and pelosi is telling you balake el bandido says august 5, 2021 at 10:34 pm the misinformation that you’re spewing as ‘facts’ is almost laughable, almost. the party ideology “switch” that the far left claims to have happened because they’re embarrassed of their own past has been disproven time & time again. oh but that doesn’t align with today’s leftist ideology, so let’s just point fingers and pretend that ‘it wasn’t us’ and just throw the word racism around in every possible instance to make us feel better, right? just so you know, your sheepish & brainwashed thought process doesn’t change the truth (no matter how bad you’d like it to). rojo says august 8, 2021 at 6:41 am you’re an idiot. you should probably pick up a history book. brett s. says august 13, 2021 at 9:08 pm they get their history from statues of racist traitors, not books! (if it really was the left that owned plantations and slaves and populated the confederacy, why is that the right now lives in all those same areas and is not ok with getting rid of those statues of racist, inbred, slave holding treasonous bigots? why is it the nazis and other racist groups are exclusively on the republican team now? karen mcnicholas says july 9, 2021 at 12:11 am “i was diagnosed with parkinson’s disease at the age of 56,in jan of this year. i was approved by my neurologist to try feasible alternatives to my current prescribed medication in the hope of improving my quality of life. and i have to say this natural treatment is a 100% game changer for anyone with pd. it has been a complete turnaround with my balance, mobility,double vision, swollen feet, speech and tremors this is the best that i’ve felt in years. visit www. kykuyuhealthclinic. com thank you kykuyu. karen mcnicholas” lana smiley says august 8, 2021 at 7:45 am what does this have to do with the democrats’ platform?? glad you’re feeling better, but thats not the subject of this forum. rob says september 27, 2023 at 4:24 pm they were never sick, they don’t even exist. this is just someone trying to sell snake oil. mike says july 8, 2021 at 8:50 am these post are enjoyable, because all you see are the inbred far right snowflaking. so just like the far left. it would be better to put all the extreme party voters and politicians from each on an island and napalm it. lori johansen says july 9, 2021 at 7:17 pm agreed. what a load of crap! anonymous says august 1, 2021 at 9:27 pm i think you should hang them from a tree branch and tell the refuge children it’s a big pinata a give them a big stick and say ” swing away kids, swing away”. va says july 12, 2021 at 9:42 pm thank you for summarizing what i was thinking in essence. i’m just glad our beloved america doesn’t have to see his pathetic rapist criminal face everywhere anymore. ding dong, that pathetic bastard is gone. and hopefully heading to his rightful place in jail. financial crimes against america, rape of several women, just being butt ugly and a disgrace to man. natalie says july 27, 2021 at 4:09 pm to va, are you talking about bill clinton? marianne crane says august 4, 2021 at 2:13 pm awesome, great comeback! oh yeah, and it’s the truth! whereas the original statement is false. we know the lefties are just jealous because if you look at the world under trump and look at it now, it speaks for itself. mike says august 14, 2021 at 8:25 pm trump dconnors says july 27, 2021 at 8:36 pm i totally agreeeeee. i keep getting thrown off facebook for hardly anything compared to what i see on there. isnt the owner of fb a gop? fuckin bastards. all of them. pelosi and shumer better batter up!!! we need them joe says july 31, 2021 at 7:55 pm name one true thing that is negative about trump. all of this hate is brainwashing by the left so you will focus on him instead of how they are raping you of your freedoms, letting in hundreds of thousands of immigrants who not only have covid, are being flown around the country, given housing, cash, etc. the suckers call that diversity. the dems are trashing their sheeple just for votes. wake up. you’re so misinformed. lizza says august 4, 2021 at 10:34 am one true thing? what’s with the postmaster he appointed? how about how he took out a full page against the central park five   when they were all innocent? how about how he told us the covid pandemjc would be gone like a miracle? i could name many many more, but you only asked for one. rob says september 27, 2023 at 4:30 pm bzzzzt! your comment will now be ignored because you were only asked to name one. jw says august 7, 2021 at 8:09 am joe, you certainly very much nailed it. jmp says august 2, 2021 at 10:12 pm i can only wonder if you are indeed the idiot that you appear to be jmp says august 2, 2021 at 10:19 pm my post was not submitted in resonse to this post it was fraudulently manipulated by the clowns that are referred to as moderators on this website. matter to be referred to congressional comittee on internet fairness anonymous says august 6, 2021 at 12:42 pm yeah thats joe biden fir you yall pathetic american hating and trump hating mf have got a wake up call because republicans will win back house and senate and yes boy trump will be our president in 2024 and all of y’all will pay for all the innocent white blood that that lowlife bldm gangs have spilled when trump back in office blm will be gone first and i can’t wait to watch y’all and your whole damn socialist dems house crash down on your filthy pos heads anonymous says august 7, 2021 at 8:17 am to anonymous, it is the left that is running america altogether with their very horrible policies. and the republicans will without a doubt take back the house, and trump will be back to clean this garbage up that biden is doing now in 2024. go trump. anonymous says august 14, 2021 at 8:36 pm not on my watch. jan says august 21, 2021 at 1:21 am yeah, bc they cheat. see “gerrymandering.” jan says august 21, 2021 at 1:23 am yeah, bc they cheat. see “gerrymandering.” moderators are terrible. not posting comments. bonnie says august 16, 2021 at 5:02 pm while your post was dated july 12, 2021 now you can happily add andrew cuomo to your post and the shoe does indeed fit. let me give it to you straight va. while your hatred of donald trump is patently obvious. there is not one politician on this planet and particularly in the united states who is going to fix any of the united states or world’s problems whether it be democrat or republican or independent. this country’s problems and that of the world cannot be fixed by anyone ever.. we have gone over the edge and there is no coming back va. it’s really that simple. all of the armchair quarterbacks are all bluster and offer no real solutions because they have none just like everyone else who carps and worships at the altar of any political party. my hope is not in this world. mother of sentient beings says july 25, 2021 at 9:57 pm yeah why would “the left” hate trump? because he is a treasonous serial rap(c)ist and petty tyrant wannabe dictator. the faux patriotism trope hasn’t aged well post trump attacking his own civilian citizens and attempting a coup d’etat. you can be a lot of things and still be pro american, you can be pro small government and pro american, you can be anti choice and pro american, you can be pro police and pro american but you can’t be pro trump and pro american any more. didn’t you all notice he was compromised and 25th amendment from the jump and third best performance in a manchurian candidate to date if you are honest with yourselves “patriots” casey says august 11, 2021 at 6:31 pm lightfoot makes racist comment but the mainstream media ignores. crime runs rampant in chicago. dems are awful at their job. “defund the police when crime is at its highest” then they all do a complete 180 a week later lol. its mind boggling how ppl still buy into the mainstream brainwashing rob says september 27, 2023 at 4:39 pm show me one place where police have been “defunded”. it hasn’t happened. casey says august 11, 2021 at 6:39 pm lmao. lightfoot makes extremely racist statement and mainstream media doesnt address it. notice how whenever your ‘news” sources are discussing a specific policy or matter they’ll have an expert on who they question with some smarta** tone of voice like they already know if some politician is making a good choice or not? its almost as if all news anchors would be better at politics anonymous says july 26, 2021 at 11:12 am fantastic plan. anonymous says july 26, 2021 at 4:49 pm enlightened centrism jane galloway moody says july 26, 2021 at 6:30 pm all you see is the communist left trying to force their crap on everyone in the country. you still haven’t gotten over the civil war you started in 1861, and lost, because you now want more slaves!!!! anonymous says august 7, 2021 at 8:20 am jane, the left are just real total losers altogether, and are very brainless as well. jan says august 21, 2021 at 1:27 am it’s the opposite. right wingers are trying to force their religion and beliefs on others, esp women. they want a theocracy in the us for power over others. you are very confused. the south lost the civil war., not the north. you seem to have never heard of the southern strategy. mica hearne says august 1, 2021 at 6:08 pm charlie kirk is an ambiguously gendered baked dessert of questionable content. i challenge him to a

july 5, 2021 at 2:44 pm the moment he said “ left leaning mainstream media,” i knew we were playing pigeon chess with a right wing nut. right winged trump supporter says july 7, 2021 at 4:32 pm finally an article of truth not afilliated with the bs left wing socialist media. see how your socialism works out with the government handing out $1400 a month to live on. go find another country that supports socialism and live there. starr says july 10, 2021 at 9:20 pm god bless america! & send all the haters to places like ilhan omar & her squad of haters come from& worship! sarky says july 26, 2021 at 6:20 am ugh, really…just because you are a dem or a repub doesn’t put you in a leftist or right wing group… we don’t all fit in a neat lil group box, a hole… 😩 bondservant says august 7, 2021 at 4:23 pm matthew 25:41 “then he will also say to those on his left, ‘depart from me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; 2 peter 2:6 18 new international version 6 if he condemned the cities of sodom and gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7 and if he rescued lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless 8 (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)  9 if this is so, then the lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. 10 this is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh[a] and despise authority. bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings; 11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from[b] the lord. 12 but these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. they are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish. 13 they will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. they are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.[c] 14 with eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed an accursed brood! 15 they have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of balaam son of bezer,[d] who loved the wages of wickedness. 16 but he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey an animal without speech who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness. 17 these people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. blackest darkness is reserved for them. 18 for they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. please do not worry my brethren we know god is loving and merciful but he also is just in all his ways. be ready all of us. its drawing near tribulation to test all man on earth to the end of the fullness of redemption for

lightfoot makes extremely racist statement and mainstream media doesnt address it. notice how whenever your ‘news” sources are discussing a specific policy or matter they’ll have an expert on who they question with some smarta** tone of voice like they already know if some politician is making a good choice or not? its almost as if all news anchors would be better at politics one says june 22, 2021 at 10:47 am do you all know that racism and prejudices are proven to be forms of lower life intelligence? one comment was right about “one race= human.” american constitution was mostly a copy from the iroquois nations, and not the ridiculousness from the bible. our relations left extreme religion ie christianity and catholicism (who murders more innocence “life” than cathochristianity?) facts are that nobody murders more innocence from earth than cathochristianity… donald trump should be in prison like all other land developer thief’s  and he should be sharing his cell with bill gates (the self imposed jesus of our time.) in fact all of our politicians belong behind bars for selling out to capitalist elitist ignorance lust full money mongers. and lets not get started on that jewish banking monster that is ruining life on earth with its imaginary “inflation” called “the federal reserve bank” fake money mongers!!! maybe we should all return to our neanderthal roots… sound like better people than we homo sapiens. not driven by greed of money or power. jerry says june 24, 2021 at 10:35 pm you will never have the strength or power to change our country to your own selfish liking so you may as well move to a better country. good luck finding it. i do agree that politicians should be jailed because they have controlling agendas that enable them to obtain millions of secret dollars that well exceed what their salary is. i don’t know how they even show their faces. they know we know they lie like dogs. i see them as secondary citizens, reprobates and derilects. and as a group that our country would be better off without along with their lapdog media mouthpieces that would say anything they are told for the american buc.. they are all going to meet thegod they don’t believe in when they die. i want to watch them grovel to the lord tony says july 2, 2021 at 12:34 pm i agree with you 100%. i just pray that this democratic leftist progressive marxist insanity will end. and end soon mike says july 8, 2021 at 8:44 am i also hope the far right klan head die off. the stuff the far left and right spew from their mouth just show that they’re inbreds. natalie says july 27, 2021 at 4:13 pm to mike: to every democrat, everything republicans and conservatives say and believe is far right. to a republican and conservative, everything the left says and believes is far left. learn to recognize your own hypocrisies. anonymous says august 9, 2021 at 2:16 am and natalie took the words from my mouth. another american with her finger on the pulse. not just regurgitating media propaganda. mike, you should inform yourself. the truth is out there. you’ll be better off once you embrace it. anonymous says august 7, 2021 at 8:22 am you said it. anonymous says august 13, 2021 at 7:45 pm it’s embarrassing to watch you just throw out random words that you don’t know the meaning “democratic leftist progressive marxist” is not a thing these words are not all compatible. you would know this if you learned about politics and political views from a textbook instead of from parler and angry old people on fox news. marxist doesn’t just mean “thing’s i don’t like” jb says july 5, 2021 at 1:24 pm amen saf says june 25, 2021 at 7:45 pm you are incorrect…. it is socialism that has murdered more innocents than any other cause … more than 100 million in one century alone…. it is the godless ones the haters of good that are all you accuse others of…. sonny says june 30, 2021 at 1:47 pm i’m sorry you have not been able to thrive in the most thrive able country in the world. obviously, you want to be taken care of and are bitter against the successes of others. you would have never survived as early man and are only here because of modern medicine, etc. your ancestors, if of your mindset, would have gone extinct very very early on…oh and oh so proud of your whining, envy, and general loser ness. sooo glad to not be you, still living in mommy’s basement. bob says july 27, 2021 at 3:02 pm it is inciteful reading all these comments. it is basic human nature to seek a better life. the beauty of america is an individual who is willing to work to improve their station in life can do so. we will always have problems, i agree many politicians are self serving and i believe many are ripping us off and drawing attention away from their activities by accusing others of the deeds they are actually doing or the latest accusation is racism. there are racist of every race, it is not a one way street. america is a nation of mutts. if you get your dna tested we lots of connections to several nationalities, including african, english, asian, etc… to progress as a nation we need to drop all the prefixes that serve to separate us into subcultures and agree that we are all americans. and work together for the good of all americans. americans require jobs. as humans with human temptations we require a strong legal system. we need strong borders to protect americans. immigrants should be welcome but screened for disease with no criminal history, and self supporting. we need competitive capitalism to provide jobs and keep prices down. while we do need a welfare system we need it policed to prevent fraud. we need to return to the “land of the free” instead of the “land where everything is free” as a person i did not care for trump, as a leader, his style was roughly entertaining. his accomplishments were in no way empathetic, but in many cases productive and good for america’s foundation. biden is more likable but less effective. he has created inflation and destroyed our border control. demoralized our law enforcement. favors illegal immigrants over our aging seniors living on fixed incomes and our ever growing population of homeless, many of which are veterans. and senior citizens and blacks.. everyone has the right of peaceful protest in america. no one has the right to riot, loot and destroy the property of others. everyone should have the right to protect their own property with justifiable homicide if necessary. anonymous says august 5, 2021 at 8:38 am amen!!! trump 2024! marc says july 5, 2021 at 10:54 am the only thing created by liberalism this far is the road paved to hell with good intentions! if people dont like this country so much i dare you to move to a socialist communist country and we will see how fast you bring your stupid asses back here! i say good riddance to you fake americans who claim they love this country but bash it every chance they get. say what you want about trump but hes been our best president by far since regan and before that kennedy! trump is for america!! these dirty democrats are so afraid cause they knew he was the real deal and could not be bought! i can go on and on…if i was a sensitive person like most of these idiot millennials and each generation after them i’d get a group together and protest cause your bashing my religion! but i’m not you see cause i dont look for excuses or reparations for things that happened hundreds of years ago….blah blah blah kent says july 9, 2021 at 7:35 pm delusional donny will go down as the worst president ever. period. anyone who hasn’t figured that out by now needs a lobotomy. the lying, cheating, stealing, racist, misogynist man child is sick and the gqp hanging onto their savior’s pant legs, too afraid to stand up for what’s right (and needing dumpster’s base to remain in office), will be right behind him. it’s disgusting. the difference between a crook like nixon and trump is that nixon was crooked behind closed doors. dumpster and his merry band of thugs do everything right out in the open for all to see. alpha/omega says august 16, 2021 at 5:24 pm wow kent looks like the only info u recieved on mars where u live is from cnn jb says july 5, 2021 at 1:22 pm hey pagan, learn to read stupid. stop listening to your marxist professors. you are one sheep in the collegant turmoil of garbage preached in this country for 40 years. man you are a sorry pagan. cram says july 8, 2021 at 4:51 pm more like a gazelle who tries to run in the center of the pack hoping some other gazelle is less fortunate sarky says july 26, 2021 at 6:22 am yay one 🎉🎉 jane galloway moody says july 26, 2021 at 6:31 pm all you see is the communist left trying to force their crap on everyone in the country. you still haven’t gotten over the civil war you started in 1861, and lost, because you now want more slaves!!!! anonymous says august 7, 2021 at 8:28 am jane, it is the left that are really total low life losers altogether that is causing our country to go down hill. but the republicans will take back the house again, and hopefully this mess will go away. trump in 2024. sand man says june 20, 2021 at 9:36 am the only thing incorrect here is giving christianity credit for america. bs. this continent was colonized by the europeans in the first place that were fleeing away from religious and ideological oppression and theocracy. of course, like immigrants today eliciting a tearful narrative of being poor oppressed refugees and won’t you please let us in but actually ultimately being products of their environments, the people coming from europe in the early days were just like the terrible people they were fleeing from, and it did not take them long to have the salem witch trials for instance. but once they were done with that part of its history, the country, the country of america itself, was created on the ideals of real religious freedom, and it was founded by deists, not christians, because christianity always has had a reputation for oppressing everyone else, and continues this to this day. it never ceases to amaze me how much christians are able to dish it out but unable to take it. they put up thousands of billboards across the country that say i’m going to hell if i don’t join their hate group, but the little snowflakes cry their little eyes out and cry oppression and a war on christianity when an atheist group puts up one billboard that says something benign like ‘you’ve stopped believing? you know god ain’t real? well, you don’t have to go back to church this sunday then”. what a bunch of babies, the lot of them! no, america was not founded on that, it was founded on the principle of separation of church and state for good reason. and the republicans are just as naive in their own ways. not only do they not believe in separation of church and state and want to make america into the christian version of the middle east and legislate their religion on the country, but they are just as susceptible to the naive idealizations of their own. while the left wants their communist utopia where racism and sexism doesn’t exist (while simultaneously being the most racist and sexist people on the planet, yes, i’m talking to you, feminists, you’re all nothing but a bunch of misandrist bigots, every last one of you!) the right has their absurd idealizations too, for instance they think that in their ideal world, guns are made to arm the good guys so as to let them shoot the bad guys. well, i judge things based on the results they produce, and there’s certainly a lot less gun violence in countries that ban them like australia and japan, but the republicans aren’t interested in looking at reality, they prefer their naive idealizations. so i see them as much the same as the left in many ways, usually when it’s religiously motivated or clashes with their naive concept of infringing upon their freedoms, which they imagine should include oppressing non christians while pretending to be marginalized themselves. boy is that something the left and right have in common. between the commie left and the theocracy religious right, i narrowly would choose the right, though i’d rather have the libertarian right, though they’re not without their own problems as they are de facto anarchists and don’t understand the value of having a government at all. i have yet to find a political affiliation in this country that isn’t cancer. but the left, oh they’re definitely the worst of them all. i’ll take the christians that want me to burn forever when i die for the crime of not joining their hate group, over the feminists and sjws that want me to burn alive here on earth for the crime of being born white and male, any day of the week. as for trump…… he was great. until he screwed up his whole re election at least. that was such a fiasco. but he was the repudiation of much of what i thought the republicans stood for. he is not a religious man, he is not motivated by religion, he is not a warmonger, he did not start expensive foreign wars, he was isolationist. yet the left hated him, it seems like they have completely forgotten about george w. bush, they hated trump like he was the worst republican in history and not the best. i would say his biggest fault was that the man is terrible with money, despite seeming to cut down things that should have been expensive, the national debt kept going up under him. i guess when it came to money he was no better at running the country than his casinos. the devil must be in the details, he must have done things very inefficiently at every level. but the left’s irrational hate of trump, really verified with me that there’s just no redeeming the left in any way. if they can’t see the good parts of someone with such good parts, then there’s no helping them, they’re just rotten to the core. mark mercer says june 22, 2021 at 9:59 am wow, what a dichotomist way of thinking. an almost apologetic way of agreeing and disagreeing with the most vile features of both “parties”. i have never seen the dems as offering any kind of utopian ideology and damn sure not the repubs. both parties have but one specific goal and that is money grubbing and special interest. and then your adoration of the trump fiasco really revealed your disillusion with reality and the american psyche. in america, there are no communist leanings, there are no authoritarian aspirations, there is only lobbyist, dark money and screwing the voters into oblivion. and then having some half wit like yo try to over analyze the whole mess with some owellelian microscope that has little to no meaning. good try though. bill says july 5, 2021 at 6:08 pm boy are you blind. the america hating democrat party has went 100% communist. kent says july 9, 2021 at 7:39 pm do you even understand what communism means? wow. bill says july 27, 2021 at 3:01 pm you people are sad examples of the human race anonymous says august 9, 2021 at 2:08 am this was easily the funniest damn thing i read all day. it almost seemed like you might know what your talking about. but nope. swing and a miss. im not a trump fanboy, but he earned my respect and damn near pulled off the draining of the swamp. one will, sooner than the dems think. smart person says june 22, 2021 at 7:01 pm i’m a christian person and you are obviously, in some parts, talking about fake christians, people who say their christians but dont actually follow through with their beliefs. when you said that christians are able to dish it out but unable to take it, that would be a fake christian doing that. but, if you don’t believe in god, you are going to hell and don’t whine in a comment about it. also christianity does not oppress anyone, you foolish person. but, i do agree that “america itself, was created on the ideals of real religious freedom”, not christianity. agreed. you don’t need to attack christianity though. also do you see me crying? no, because you’re reading this, but also no because i’m not. facts says july 4, 2021 at 7:43 am christianity does not oppress anyone now, but they did when they could. that is why all religion was removed from the us government. most christians even try to claim this country was founded on their religion in some way. nothing could be father from the truth. ‘we the people’ means just that. the people make their own laws, free from the tyranny of kings, nobles and religious rules that can’t be questioned. the american taliban is on the rise once again, they tried to take over in the 1950s changing our national moto and pledge with their religious bs. they want to change america not preserve it as it was intended to be. a smarter person than you says june 23, 2021 at 6:43 am well you completely missed the point in your attempt to appear intelligent the part you’re not getting is that they fled religious and financial persecution and yes it was christians that were being persecuted for not following the church of england so maybe you should learn a little history unless you’re in california and then your schools aren’t worth a shit but that’s how they want you and no i’m pretty sure the pilgrims a.k.a. the quakers and the other puritans that settled in the northeast not that you actually have a clue what happened on the east coast in the colony since you think the world started in california… but no they weren’t slaveowning fat cats despite what your teachers try to shove down your throat you don’t know history otherwise you wouldn’t be spouting such an authentic bullshit while trying to pat yourself on the back, read up on the protestant reformation and yes christianity is protestant as opposed to catholicism another branch of christianity but they weren’t muslims playing because nobody fucking cares about muslims that’s the whole point that you miss here nobody cares how you fucking wanna live you just wine and p your pants when nobody wants to sit down and throw you a parade for all your fucking victimhood do your own shit the problem that you have is that you can’t control how other people live and that’s what this country was founded on the choice to live how you want to live and like who you want to like or not like them and you can live how you want to live but you need to learn to except the fact that you can’t control other people that’s what this was based on get some facts bitch michael walls says june 23, 2021 at 9:23 am early american settlers fled europe so they could set up their own religious dogma zones here. in other words, they were fleeing state religions in favor of their own brand of fanaticism. new england was carved up by religion zones, pennsylvania was the original “quaker state” and utah, was and still is a mormon state for all practical purposes. most likely, people in europe gladly waved goodbye on the docks as they left. how fanatical were they? to wit: salem witch trials. it took generations for people to ebb away from that. the founding fathers were largely “deists”., not believing in a god as a personal servant. al that being said, christian values, broken free of insane dogma, did indeed mold this country.. alex james says june 24, 2021 at 4:25 am hello, i bring you good news. do you need black magic spells to get rid of your husband’s mistress ? do you want to fix your marriage or relationship or you want to get back with your ex after the breakup or you want to put a stop to that divorce? do you want revenge on your enemies or do you want a death spell cast on someone who has wronged you in the past ? if yes then let me recommend a tested and trusted voodoo man called dr noble who has helped me to destroy my enemy (donald) that almost ruined my life just because i got promoted before him at our place of work. i contacted dr noble for his powerful death spell and in 48 hours donald died in an accident. it was the greatest news to me that day. finally my enemy is out of the way thank you noble. here is dr noble’s website noblesolutiontemple. com you also add him on whatsapp via 234 905961 0643 saf says june 25, 2021 at 7:51 pm a good anti christer response. only you fail to look at and access the anti christers with their fascism totalitarianism muhammedism socialism communism. …. all those isms. then add aztecs and other groups of people who do evil…. perhaps you need to take your finger and point to good verses evil to see who is the greater murderers… concerned patriot says july 4, 2021 at 1:03 am there are no logical people left…. i play poker … have a brain play what i see even internet poker has become playform.. left coast can fall in ocean… who cares… please god shove them into ocean old testament…. let those states die… we

have a stroke while typing this? anonymous says july 24, 2021 at 12:55 am imagine if all the european immigrants had an established welfare system helping them. would they have still worked so hard to better themselves and provide for their families. we may never know for sure. one thing we do know, those coming here today feel as though they were invited. they expect to be taken care of at our expense. our loss is their gain, and they see no problem with that. guest says june 11, 2021 at 7:47 am god is a real evil filthy scumbag altogether for letting these people breathe and multiply to begin with. justin says june 22, 2021 at 12:07 pm in the america i would have envisioned is one where you hate no one, as a rule but hate evil. evil, i think, does not enjoy this. anonymous says july 7, 2021 at 6:00 am is trump an alian..or just a dope? tom says june 26, 2021 at 5:43 pm the good book tells you to do unto others as you would have them do unto you! i say kill the fuckers before they can do anything to you! jb says july 5, 2021 at 1:31 pm amen, these heathans on here are going to get a cery very bad awakening. lol sam i am says june 10, 2021 at 11:07 am we leftists don’t hate america, gerald. we love america. we just hate you. justin says june 22, 2021 at 12:06 pm in the america i would have envisioned is one where you hate no one, as a rule but hate evil. evil, i think, does not enjoy this. jon trouten says june 3, 2021 at 8:02 pm one year and nearly 3000 toxic comments later, one wonders when fillmore county journal will stop allowing comments for this article? eyegore says may 24, 2021 at 11:49 pm what a bunch of whining white racist losers. any of you trumpfisters interested in living in the real world? anonymous says june 4, 2021 at 12:47 pm see you in 22 t bones says june 23, 2021 at 8:42 am hey look as americans and also as a veteran we are having our rights taken away from us by the biden harris administration and whether people believe it or not it is show most americans believe in our civil rights and the amendment what american out there we’ll let that pass buy some i don’t care leftist groups goober jones says june 28, 2021 at 6:40 pm did you go to school or is education in the states really this awful? john public says june 29, 2021 at 1:10 am what civil rights has the biden administration “taken away from us”? be specific. and before you go around screaming about mask mandates, you should do a littel research. george washington forced all soldiers in the continental army to be inoculated against small pox. period. washington recognized a disease posed a serious risk to public health and did something about it. and because of the mandatory small pox inoculation, instead of losing 90% of infected troops to smallpox, he lost less than 5%. see, washington understood that when fighting against a disease, everybody has to participate. anonymous says july 5, 2021 at 11:12 pm i blow my nose to that! natalie says july 27, 2021 at 1:01 pm the first smallpox vaccine was not developed until 1798. edward jenner experimented with the first trial vaccine in 1796. george washington died in 1799. moreover, george washington resigned from the continental army in 1783. conclusion: george washington could not have forced anyone, not even the continental army to receive a vaccine that had not been developed at the time of his service. natalie says july 27, 2021 at 1:08 pm the first smallpox vaccine was developed in 1798. edward jenner experimented with the first trial vaccine in 1796. george washington died in 1799. moreover, george washington resigned from the continental army in 1783. his last term as u.s. president ended in 1797, a year before the smallpox vaccine was formally developed. conclusion: george washington could not have forced anyone, not even a continental soldier to have a vaccine that didn’t exist in the time of any of his services. patricia susan hurley says august 1, 2021 at 4:41 pm the troops were 1% to 10% of the population here at that time. depending on who/what you read. so much for “everybody” has to participate. btw did you ask anyone if they had this disease and if they had antibodies? no. because it didn’t fit the agenda you have been force fed and believe. and only personal insults come from the left. because that is all you have. sandra says june 4, 2021 at 8:55 pm there are hispanics that are republicans and we are not racist losers. we want to see america prosper, not become socialist nation who depends on the government. believe me we live in the real world.. smart person says june 22, 2021 at 6:51 pm thank god that at least one person so far is informed by something other than all the communist news channels and idiot leftists. the main reason i don’t help by giving money to homeless people on the streets is not because i’m some heartless person, but because they are likely going to take money and buy drugs with it, or because almost every store is hiring right now and they just need to get off their asses and work. colleen fisher says june 5, 2021 at 2:27 pm then you pay for the thousands and thousands of illegals and pay for the babies with no fathers in this country for their housing, food, medical and education. you👈 pay while the majority of my generation didn’t even know what a food stamp was, you super liberal socialist burning and looting and taking what isn’t yours and what you didn’t work for! shame on you but you don’t care what your parents and grandparents have already sacrificed to see go to those who think the world owes them a living! i’m white and whiny? kiss my ass! anonymous says june 6, 2021 at 8:29 am that’s the classic response from the left: don’t argue principles, just vilify the opposition and try to shut them up. anonymous says june 6, 2021 at 11:03 am why so mad at this? hmmm. maybe he’s right and you can’t handle it. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx says june 6, 2021 at 11:08 pm sounds to me like you’re the “racist”. you should be silent, then no one would know you’re a fool. dw says june 6, 2021 at 11:19 pm i’m betting that it’s you who are the “racist” . seeing how there’s only one race, human, the charge of “racism is a bogus straw man and always puked up by ignorant morons who have no real argument. i suggest you remain silent in future, that way you can hide the fact tha you’re actually an ignorant fool. anonymous says june 7, 2021 at 3:02 am not with you anonymous says june 7, 2021 at 7:32 am what an uniformed idiot who just follows along like a sheep. news flash kiddo socialism isnt going to work out so well for you either. looks like eyegire is a useful idioy anonymous says june 7, 2021 at 9:58 pm lol, why don’t you state facts, you don’t have a point here other than to get personal and try to assassinate someones character because you have no communication skills. i’m sure you watch your 15 minutes of cnn and think you’ve got the world figured out. lol mike irwin says june 8, 2021 at 11:02 pm sounds like your the racist ,since your accusing! miftaha rahman says june 9, 2021 at 9:52 pm write a short composition about “dream of a girl with impaired vision “.write at least five sentence about the topic. remember to use capital letters, punctuation correct, spelling and sentence structure. scott says june 11, 2021 at 3:15 pm awe check your kotex you weak libtard scott says june 11, 2021 at 3:16 pm awe check your kotex you weak libtard. you are delusional at best scott says june 11, 2021 at 3:21 pm do you nee a new kotex sheep? sounds like your vag is still bleeding like usual, low iq beijing bidener ashman says june 13, 2021 at 3:31 pm 100% agree, that’s insulting as fuck, cause we hate teump we hate america. i guess it doesnt bother them 1 iota he used the presidency as a personal business appointment . if anything, teump hates america more than any other president in history. he’s even goi g to be responsible for rie c wade being overturned for people who claim they fight for big government to stay out of our lives and big companies shouldn’t have to pay taxes if they use legal loopholes. (i am n being sarcastic but i fear i must point that out cause trumpers arent known for getting subtle comments.) so how is a gop who tells every woman what thet can and can’t do with their bodies, even if incest rape happened,who cares that the retarded baby won’t ever be loved as the mother will resent it every time they look at the rape, incest, or both baby. gw says june 13, 2021 at 5:48 pm said the low life loser. lazio neogrady says june 14, 2021 at 8:01 pm you are an idiot….conservatives don’t burn. loot. or murder…like “blm” we are sick on know nothings like you who think a double standard in the law is o.k. for your information….the democrat party was affiliated with the “kkk” not persons on the fight. truth teller says june 15, 2021 at 8:27 am get in your knees and save your soul list one. god is and will reveal the truth watch and pray for your wicked words!!!

frank powell says june 28, 2021 at 7:04 pm you are either ignorant or stupid, i hope you are just ignorant, stupid is forever. a concerned american citizen says june 17, 2021 at 12:59 pm what an egotistical insulting and person in need of some mental health that you would go out of your own way to seek those that oppose your viewpoint and insult those do not share your viewpoint. if you really are as great as you think you are then you would appreciate other opinions and try to learn why it is other people think the way they do but no you would rather insult destroy and take that which is not yours to take and you wonder why people on the other side of the political spectrum do not listen to you. guest says june 17, 2021 at 1:40 pm said the real total loser. brenda says june 18, 2021 at 4:06 am the anti cristian conspiracy theory lunatics who simply demand their own way or do not. hesitate to tell every one they will hurt or even kill other americans rather than own the truth. there are too many videos of the harm they did to others including other repupublicans. to lie and deny what the world saw happening in the last 4 years is a shame on the party of lincoln. these racist haters are not christians nothing about their behaviour suggests anything but negative . jesus is not a hater. he was a dark brown middle eastern man who practiced judaism till the day he died. he was a refugee who did not demand a way of hate that these people. demand. people who use god and jesus as their justification for violence, judgement,racism, sexism, so much of the excuses they use to demand people do everything they want, regardless of breaking every one of the ten commandments!! leland kendrick md says june 19, 2021 at 8:54 pm yes in america if you don’t like america the good news there is no ball and chains around your ankles you are free to go try iran or china or north korea just to name a few if you dislike freedom so much and don,t come back how many people are trying to break into marist dictator death camp countries their borders are their prison 1.3 billion prisioners in china alone walt says july 4, 2021 at 8:29 pm the greatest generation fought and beat fascism to save the world. how disgusted they would be to see republicans taking help and false news from russians and the chinese, and trying to disenfranchise citizens voting because they are not fascists worshiping a man who is: 1. a coward   draft dodging pig 2. fraud (claimed $1m from his father it was $4`17m 3. cheated on all his wives and paid for sex/ 4. misused the justice department to punish those against him. got his followers to swallow the false lie of a crooked election. tried to take over the government two months after he lost. he’s trash and anyone that follows him is an idiot   or worse. steven keller says may 24, 2021 at 1:22 am the economy is drowning due to inflation issues due to this nations abuse of progressive taxes,the solution is to implement a flat tax plan and reduce government spending as this very technique has been used to improve other nation inflation struggles with flying colors,then police funding needs to be increased with extra police training to ensure the security of every city of our nation with ensuring governors and politicians create the imagine of solidarity with police departments to ensure there is professional respect between politicians and police officers,then to focus on out control and chaotic protesters who can’t seem to grow up and stop protesting i’d suggest implenting a law that makes protesting grounds to have every public protester examined by a psychiatrist and any individual with psychological issues faces treatment at a secure psych facility while those that have no psychological issues are instructed to stop protesting and see a therapist and let american citizens live more relaxing cause citizens dont call it relaxing when protesters act like children and if that doesn’t work criminalize peaceful protesting under the public safety exception to the constitution,the left needs to grow up and act like an adult and some onn the right need to grow up to as most republican already have,demonizing your political opponents doesnt discuss the issues only addressing those issues with civility addresses the issues john macwilliams says june 6, 2021 at 8:45 am washington exists to scratch its own behind. they will never agree to anything that reduces their power. the tentacles of government reach far and wide. the only way to defeat it is to cut off tentacles one at a time. start with the dept of homeland security immigration dept. the dept of education, then labor, then right the ship at doj, etc etc. this of course is a dream. nothing will happen without a peaceful revolution so large, the bureaucrats can’t resist it. the jan 6 protest is a lesson learned: the washington establishment, after a year of doing nothing about the nationwide riots built on a lie, went after protesters at the capital as if it was acrussian invasion. up to the current president they vilified that crowd as right wing extremists and went so far as to spy on the national guard to “root out” extremists in that organization for fear, (ohmygod) they would join forces with that mostly peaceful crowd. in other words, if you threaten them with peaceful protests, they will come after you, suiting”america’s #1 threat. not china, not russian or iran, but (almost non existent): “white supremacy” sam i am says june 10, 2021 at 11:04 am inflation has been at historically low levels for 30 years. that’s why a gallon of milk has costed between $2 and $3 since the 1990s. gasoline is currently the same price it was in 2000. in your very first sentence you discredited the entire rest of your post, which i won’t both to read. kiddo says june 11, 2021 at 3:02 am right on! ash r sherman says june 13, 2021 at 3:33 pm fuck the police. if you havent noticed, they’ve been useless up till after every damn mass shooting. please tell me how police will change things? sonny says june 30, 2021 at 2:00 pm what a dumbass! wait until you are shot, your mother raped and your kid murdered. then you can hurry and call blm or antifa! hahahahahahahahaha. can’t think beyond your own nose. idiot…one born every minute. god help the rest of us! bruce fairman says june 16, 2021 at 2:08 pm isn’t your letter an example of protest but in this this you assault the english language and submit false outdated “facts” that are nothing more than the oldest racist tropes and irrational fears of “the other” drummed up to spread fear and divide. i love this country but your bs solutions remind of my drunken aunt railing about how great everything was back when we had prayer in schools. but if you want to pay my therapist with government funding by all means go ahead! tammy says june 16, 2021 at 3:20 pm perfect, but when it’s not said and done in the home where dad gives the morals of how to live and obey father and mother ,god and education from sound parenting is the keys,for a house divided cannot stand, a nation nation divided cannot stand, this nation with it’s great divide of what this country has been through and prosper for what all in other countries want so badly to have, but now due to such confusion its a nation divided from god almighty, prayers are needed ,but revelations are clearly here, shayne t. pendrick, a.s. says june 18, 2021 at 7:53 pm to criminalize peaceful protest is itself unconstitutional, the courts would slap that down faster than even i can down my favorite dinner which i won’t say because that is irrelevant. the right of protest is sacrosanct and inviolable. people like you just have to suck it up and deal with it, buttercup. thomas says may 19, 2021 at 7:54 am the left is too far gone and when gop retakes house and senate in 2022 i hope biden resigns he is far worse than idiot jimmy carter and we know all dems are total socialist communists who crave power and money anonymous says june 8, 2021 at 8:30 pm we are waiting for trumps return to clean up the biden & harris mess all across the usa. tw says august 3, 2021 at 6:08 am to anonymous, you really nailed it. trump in 2024. joe says june 9, 2021 at 2:29 pm u r one retarded stupid hitler lover. of a lying perverted selfish scared person. your stupid trump. let him fondle ur wife and or daughter. the country is not a business. read the constitution. and if you don’t know what it signifies ask some people who do . i bet you don’t know . linda dewalt says june 10, 2021 at 7:45 pm i agree. the left has gone off the deep end. guest says june 11, 2021 at 6:12 am the lefts are very retarded to begin with, and a real bunch of losers too. anonymous says august 1, 2021 at 11:31 am they were not losers in the latest elections. anonymous says august 3, 2021 at 6:43 am the election was rigged in their favor unfortunately. dkolda says june 14, 2021 at 11:18 pm the gop are qanon, trump loving, racists, bigots, xenophobic, lgbtq hating, asinine racist fools. and as americans they showed how unamerican they are by the insurrection they committed on jan 6th. the gop also use the bible to spew hatred at people they dislike instead of using the bible for love as it was intended. speaking of the bible, trump is an atheist, he’s never gone to church or picked up and read the bible before his presidency, it was all a show like everything else he says and does that you people fall for.. you people think he’s a god while he’s really the complete opposite! anonymous says june 15, 2021 at 8:28 am amen! guest says june 17, 2021 at 1:42 pm you said the real truth. rob says september 27, 2023 at 6:55 pm yeah, that worked out pretty well for you, didn’t it? wendy ruth says may 15, 2021 at 10:35 am how i got my ex husband back with the help of real and effective spell by doctor0lovespell@gmail. com w smthson says june 8, 2021 at 2:32 pm really? lucky you truth t. power says may 14, 2021 at 10:20 am indisputable..as a 17 who volunteered for the us army during vietnam and who wasn’t driven in a limo to school & given $18 million when i turned 18 by my slum lord daddy………….who never visited whores while married…never mocked handicap people..who never ripped off veterans a a supposed college..on and on..i detest the meglamaniac malignant narcissist sociopath draft dodging (yes daddy paid a doctor to say the poor boy had bone spurs) who called a fellow vet hero mccan a loser but called a non veteran stevie boy scalaise a hero cause he was shot playing baseball!!!!!!!!really you stooge, sucker, naive, ass licking, narrow minded, mindless followers of the biggest btraitor in us history ..trumpy..its indisputable that you are absurd idiots to think the silver spoon buffin cares about you…and socialist!!!really…..then give your stimulus, , unemployment, social security, medicare , obamma care, big oil subsidies , on and on back..you hiipocrits..thats socialism…………………………… michael says june 4, 2021 at 7:35 pm you need to read a little history before you post something so ridiculous!!

w mcmahon says june 18, 2021 at 3:02 pm your first sentence (if you can call it that) contained at least two lies. you are not in your 70s. you are not a vietnam vet. maybe if you could occasionally tell the truth, and then learn how to write a coherent sentence, then you might be take seriously. until then,,, this is pathetic. jeff says june 18, 2021 at 5:59 pm wow. you’ve got a problem. i did give mine back the first one just gave it back, the second one i donated it all to conservative causes. none of your complaints about trump would even leave your mouth if they weren’t fostered and festered in your brain by the mainstream media. pretty sad. pipper donnie says may 2, 2021 at 1:03 pm fact 1 about america and fail red states. look it up america!! biggest employer in conservative confederate states is made in china walmart!!!! texas, florida mississippi, louisiana, alabama, kentucky all dependent on slave wage welfare necessity walmart as job job job source!!!! vs… american free prison labor system!!! both prop up by the american police/justice system that feeds the multinationals billionaire corporation board of directors!!!!! conservative vision for america 2021!!! slavery in america don’t see color. unless you’re poor white (wallllllmart minimum wage on welfare queen) or you’re poor black (prisoner working for free) there is a name for this. its call instrumental marxism!!! ya, the billionaire and the government (one and the same) work to enslave their citizens just like china! facts 2 about america and the fail red states! reality check. outsourcing, automation, and immigration is nothing compares to the power u.s. prison labor force for billion dollar corporation. this is back by american tax dollars in the world’s biggest and most profitable prison system in the world! it’s called instrumental marxism where big business and government enslave their citizens to profit off of them! ‘prison slavery’: inmates are paid cents while manufacturing products sold to government why conservatives are the biggest marxist welfare queen for billionaire corporatist and fail fail fail to support their dying poor voters. will a federal prisoner steal your job? an alabama clothing maker recently found out just how hard, according to the myrtle beach sun news: american apparel of selma had to lay off 225 workers after it lost a contract for u.s. army jackets to unicor, a $900 million behemoth with 89 factories around the u.s. its workforce consists entirely of convicts. sorry but calling “them” a part of the establish instrumental marxism tool to enslave black america is not racist. it’s a fact. fact 3 about america. why do “conservative” love, love, love black slaves so much???? will a free federal prisoner labor for multinational american corporations steal your job? an alabama clothing maker recently found out just how hard, according to the myrtle beach sun news: american apparel of selma had to lay off 225 workers after it lost a contract for u.s. army jackets to unicor, a $900 million behemoth with 89 factories around the u.s. its workforce consists entirely of convicts. unicor’s workers, according to the government owned corporation’s website, make custom draperies and curtains, mattresses and bedding; furniture, lighting systems, catwalks; fences, towels, shelving, eyewear (both safety and prescription), and trophies. they run help desks and call centers. they process credit cards and provide fleet management services. oh, and they make license plates. federal law requires government agencies to buy products from unicor without competitive bidding. the company, also known as federal prison industries (fpi), is enjoying the kind of growth that might make some for profit companies envious. how louisiana’s oil and gas industry uses prison labor!!!!! billionaire needs slaves! slaves! slave! in racist america!!!! back in 2013 dps&c report shows that prisoners are compensated directly by their employers, and are required to be paid no less than 50 cents above the federal minimum wage, although the dps&c can grant exceptions. but facility operators  in lafourche’s case, the parish sheriff’s office pocket 64% of a prisoner’s gross wages, which are used to pay for their room and board. in 2015, operators across all work release programs in louisiana made $35.5 million from prisoner wages, in addition to per diem payments the state gave for each state prisoner and millions from commissary sales to their captive clientele. the texas department of criminal justice (tdcj) has the biggest prison population in the united states (over 140,000 prisoners) and the most prisons of any state (over 100). it is also known for being one of the most self sufficient and profitable prison systems in the nation, thanks to zero pay prison labor. that’s right: prisoners in texas are working for free. total sales for tci in the fiscal year 2014 alone were valued at $88.9 million, and not one dime of it was used to pay those who produced this handsome reward. whenever tci is scrutinized by the public for this practice, they note that prisoners receive other rewards for their labor, such as time credits called “good time” or “work time.” this exception laid a foundation, built on by racist jim crow laws, for the convict leasing and mass incarceration of ostensibly free black southerners, including in texas. even after the legislature passed laws to end the state system of leasing people to companies for a profit in 1910, no pay for forced work is still the norm in texas prisons more than a century later. meanwhile, a third of the state prison population today consists of african americans, who make up 12 percent of the general state population. and almost half of those inmates are serving time (and working for free) for nonviolent charges. facts 4 about christian america in the fail red states. woke and the history of “christian” confederacy! i said it before and i’ll say it again. christian confederate aryan “cancel culture” is all about undemocratic value of hate and greed! it’s something “christian” in the south will teach you under their christian history of enslavying and rapeing people. (1) “god fearing christians'”gop backed voting measures could create hurdles for tens of millions of voters. at least 250 new laws have been proposed in 43 states to limit mail, early in person and election day voting. 100% pure confederate aryan “cancel culture”!! (2) there were over 700 public swimming pools in the southern states! socialism and southern white american goes hand in hand and these southern white folks have no problem with public parks and their swimming pools as long as they are for whites only! just a fact kids. but as soon as desegregation came. southern white americans hated the idea of their white family “sharing” their pools with color folks. check out “south park” did a parody of it in the 2017??? you may want to look up the word xenophobia. it’s a 2021 gop’s aryan cultural identity christian value thing. see kids, white confederates hate black in america so much, they defunded and got rid off all 700 public swimming pools! thus the birth of private aryan american “cancel culture” and back yard swimming pools in the south was born and across america… the birth of a whole new world of conservative/republicans/confederate/racists aryan “cancel culture” policy has expanded to excluding blacks in business to employment in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s even in the 2021 . now its all about the weaponized pretext of attacking color folks. this is what it means to be a real republican today!!! tracy says may 6, 2021 at 3:50 pm liberals are the ones in the pocket of china and russia actually they call liberal the useful idiots until the get ready take them out you surely don’t believe they are going to share with what they don’t need anymore ! when you don’t need anything anymore you throw it away ! jim says may 7, 2021 at 6:43 am or maybe what it means to be a “republican” is don’t do strings that will land your ass in prison, then you can go to your job, make your wages, pay for your own room and board, and if there’s some money left over you can put a pool in your back yard?? brian says may 7, 2021 at 3:57 pm you are obviously one of the angry karen types that thinks she is right about everything!!, you know nothing!! the knowledge you gained at your liberal college has made you a idiot!!if you actually did your research you would know that everything you just claimed the republicans do is what the socialist democrat party has been doing for the last 50 years!! and in true farm just like the socialist democratic party that blames the republicans for everything that they are doing when it is in plain sight!!!! you are a sheep heading for slaughter,… let me know how your health is in 5 years after your vaccine shot you stupid ignorant school by socialism hypocrite!!! mary jane says june 19, 2021 at 4:41 pm another trump idiot i am a veteran and the dems are not socialist and i know a lot of dems that served with honor, but your great white hope had a bone spur! what a racist bastard, we all know why trump supporters are so afraid of dems because they might be black, brown, red, yellow or women. what a bunch of cry babies republicans are trump lost get over it. fact says august 3, 2021 at 6:14 am trump really won the election to begin with, you idiot. and biden won because the election was rigged to begin with. jackcsc says may 13, 2021 at 4:44 pm you have no idea what a republican is. your democrat imagination is in full swing. educate your yourself with some self reliance; instead of your tv set. your level of ignorance is impressive. nothing you posted here is fact on the republican side of things. ask bill clinton about how walmart got to where they are today. not because of a republican. cindy jantz says may 18, 2021 at 8:50 pm democrats are the ones who instituted the jim crow laws in the south! you got your facts wrong due to your obvious hate for christianity, and for the god of the holy bible! your hatred is really against the lord god of israel, creator of the heavens, the earth, the seas and all that therein dwells! you hate anyone who follows the lord jesus christ, and you hate all conservatives because we don’t agree with your twisted worldview! you don’t know me, neither do you know the lord god of israel! you cannot win your war against him! you are not the creator! he does love you, and it’s not his will that you should perish, (suffer in eternal torment and darkness for ever and ever! eternal death never ends, and it is horrible emotional, spiritual and physical torment for eternity), but that you should come to repentance! god created you with a wonderful plan for your life; but instead, thus far, you have rejected him and his holy word! you seem more bent on being bitter and filled with hatred towards god and all who follow him, as well as all those who believe in conservative values; and then there are the rinos, they claim to be republicans, but they often do not really hold to true christian biblical conservative principles! they are double minded, and usually speak in “,politically correct” language so as to gain the most votes, because they really don’t have true biblical principles to stand on! they flip flop often just to please whatever members of their constituency they think are listening at the time! they can’t be trusted to honor their promises once they get into office! no human being is perfect! romans 3:10, 23 as it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one. for all have sinned, and come (fall) short of the glory (perfect, and holy standards of almighty god) of god. romans 5:8 but god commendeth (showed) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, christ died for us. romans 6:23 the wages (what we have earned due to our sins against our holy, creator god) of sin is death: (physical and spiritual separation from god in hell), but the (free) gift of god is eternal life through jesus christ our lord; ephesians 2:8 for by (god’s) grace (which we don’t deserve, and we cannot ever earn) are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; 9 it is the gift of god: not of (our deeds) works, lest any one should boast. romans 10:8 but what saith it? the word is nigh (near) thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess (profess) with thy mouth the lord jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that god hath raised him (jesus christ) from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 for the scripture saith, whosoever believeth on him (jesus christ) shall not be ashamed. 13 for whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved. 14 how then shall they call on him (jesus christ) in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him (jesus christ) of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 and how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 but they have not all obeyed the gospel. for isaiah saith, lord, who hath believed our report? 17 so then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of god. john 3:3 jesus answered and said unto him, (nicodemus: one of the rulers of the jewish religious leaders of israel) verily, verily, (i tell you the truth), i say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of god. 4 nicodemus saith unto him, (jesus christ) how can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 jesus answered, verily, verily, (i tell you the truth, i say unto thee, except a man be born of water (our first and natural birth into this world) and of the (holy) spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of god. 6 that which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the (holy) spirit is spirit. 7 marvel not (don’t be so surprised or amazed) that i said unto thee, ye must be born again. 8 the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is everyone that is born of the spirit. 9 nicodemus answered and said unto him, (jesus christ) how can these things be? 10 jesus answered and said unto him, art thou a master (teacher/rabbi) of israel, and knowest not these things? 11 verily, verily, (i tell you the truth) i say unto thee, we speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12 if i have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if i tell you of heavenly things? 14 and as moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the son of man (jesus christ) be lifted up: (on the cross as our sin sacrifice and our passover lamb). 15 that whosoever believeth in him (jesus christ) should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 for god so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, (jesus christ) that whosoever believeth in him (jesus christ) should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 for god sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him (jesus christ) might be saved. 18 he that believeth on him (jesus christ) is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten son of god. 19 and this is the condemnation, that light (jesus christ) is come into the world, and men loved darkness (addicted to their sinful lifestyles) rather than light, (jesus christ and his holy inspired, inerrant and infallible word: the holy bible!) because their deeds (lifestyle habits) were evil. 20 for every one that doeth evil hateth the light (jesus christ and his holy, inspired, inerrant and infallible word: the holy bible!), neither cometh to the light, lest their deeds (sinful lifestyles) should be reproved. 21 but he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds (lifestyle) may be made manifest, that they are wrought in god. 36 he that believeth on the son (jesus christ) hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the son (jesus christ) shall not see life; but the wrath of god abideth on him. (because he chose to reject the only begotten son of god who paid for our sins by shedding his own holy, righteous and perfect blood in our place on the cruel cross of calvary! jesus christ never sinned! he took the punishment that we deserve for our sins against our holy and just and perfect creator god! we all deserve to suffer eternal torment in hellfire for our sins! jesus christ paid for our sins on the cross! when you reject jesus christ, you are choosing to go to hell! john macwilliams says june 6, 2021 at 8:53 am hell will be the coming socialist states of america. when that happens, at leastv20 states will secede, kicking off a major confrontation. i would suggest those states start right now beefin up their guard corps because they will be needed. sam i am says june 10, 2021 at 11:10 am keep the name of my people israel out of your hateful mouth, you self righteous so called “christian”. hope says may 19, 2021 at 3:13 am what planet are you from? obviously you know nothing about the history of the united states! who freed the slaves? who was against slavery while writing the constitution? stop gaming, complaining, collecting unemployment, and blaming everybody else for your judgemental attitude, and inability to research before you open your mouth! first read the bible and understand that not all people are after you! next, understand that “blacks” are not the only abused people. in order to understand the last statement, read the bible from front to back with an open mind. then pick up an actual history book of the united states that was written before the computer takeover of our country. good luck, but better than “luck”, i hope that reading the bible will open your heart and soul to the truth that god does not see the “color” of our skin! he sees the truth of your heart. is it full of useless hate, or is it able to change and follow the one that loves you so much that he (jesus) died for your sin and can now give you an everlasting life, because he(jesus) prooved that there is life after death. it’s your choice. god gave all humans a free will to choose right or wrong; good or bad; there are no grey areas; truth or lies. you will find answers to your doubts, questions and mislead confusion in the living word of god who created you. stop believing lies and start believing in the peace that only god can give you. john macwilliams says june 6, 2021 at 8:57 am you are right. but churches must share the blame for our secular society. they also drifted off into gobbledygook racial teachings, turning many of us off. d says june 8, 2021 at 12:33 am you say open up your history books….you best get on it then…of course the reps fired the skaves and then years later because of economics, the reps changed to dems and vise versa! duh! open up them history books dear one you bound to learn another. and as for the constitution not anywhere in there were they against slavery walwatt writing the constitution in fact the majority of them owned slaves! i think you need to get your story straight before you go rambling on. and as far as god and jesus are concerned, pretty sure they had nothing to do with the writing if the constitution either, as much as you’d luv if that was the case. anyone who says they’re a christian yet believes in a man who lied daily to our faces. bullies and cheated on wives, avoided taxes as a way to defund everything including the police., can’t be a true christian. be a republican. not a cukt leader supporter who thrives on hitler style rallies. read your history for that playbook! anonymous says may 21, 2021 at 3:39 am biden is a sob piece of shit go to hell biden mary jane says june 19, 2021 at 4:44 pm another trump idiot i am a veteran and the dems are not socialist and i know a lot of dems that served with honor, but your great white hope had a bone spur! what a racist bastard, we all know why trump supporters are so afraid of dems because they might be black, brown, red, yellow or women. what a bunch of cry babies republicans are trump lost get over it. anonymous says august 10, 2021 at 6:11 am to anonymous, biden is a real complete scumbag altogether, since he is the cause of this mess altogether to begin with. and this is why he is destroying america on purpose. anonymous says may 21, 2021 at 12:31 pm not interested in a groups individualism. anonymous says may 21, 2021 at 4:19 pm your just an idiotic dip sh who has no understanding of his own country why don’t you leave kb says may 25, 2021 at 9:17 pm this is the ramblings of a drunkard. nonsensical…. anonymous says june 8, 2021 at 7:32 pm the truth shall make you free!f kb says may 25, 2021 at 9:19 pm nonsensical ramblings of a drunkard. anonymous says may 26, 2021 at 5:35 pm usa is one of very few countries that fought to abolish slavery, in our own usa. holding on to slavery is holding a crutch. it was not right to own slaves, and you forget that many were given land and freedom. your holding on to a past that makes it difficult for you to realize that opportunities are available to all, you are holding yourself back and blaming everyone else. anonymous says may 26, 2021 at 10:59 pm joe biden is all about segregation and has always supported segregation, as he continues to do right now…..trying to define us by the color of our skin. a very devisive tactic in order to divide and conquer. jfk says may 27, 2021 at 4:52 pm there is not one, not one single public swimming pool that is for whites only anywhere in the usa. i only need to read a few selected sentences from your racist hatespeech to realize you’re spouting lies, nothing but hateful anti american lies. the right doesn’t attack colored folks. the right, if anyone espouses the true ideals of equality. the left wants nothing to do with that, constantly claiming racism racism racism every chance they get. all we see in american media today is the nonstop extreme threat against blacks when the reality is, they have everything easier than whites do in life. beneficial job entitlement over any other race for no reason, beneficial education opportunities over any other race for no reason, beneficial judicial and law hearings over any other race for no reason. if you want equality, the whole blm and making laws that cater to one race and one race only simply because they were slaves over 100 years ago is not the path to equality. i put in 10 years in the military to get my gi bill so i could get educated because i come from a poor white family and nothing in the usa says i deserve any help or assistance in improving myself. i sat right next to 18 year olds who didn’t even have to take the freaking sat or act to get into college, they simply had to say “i am black” and they got admitted instantly and were given a free full ride. for no reason other than the fact of what happened over 150 years ago. they were not slaves themselves, their parents weren’t oppressed in any way shape or form. they simply are living off of the communist liberal democrat teat that stands against everything that the usa was founded upon. these democrats absolutely do not want to see anyone that works hard for a living succeed. they don’t want to see the best candidate for the job, they want to see the darkest colored skin color for the job. we are becoming a nation of lazy scum living off of the government’s handouts. i pity these scum, and will fight to the end to prevent them from taking america down and everything it stands for, as well as the work and sacrifices that thousands upon thousands before me gave their lives to protect and defend. mary jane says june 19, 2021 at 4:58 pm what a bunch of racist crap, who the hell calls blacks colored people but ignorant white republicans most of whom want to go back the to 1950s when blacks knew their place and men told woman what to do! typical republican thinking. john says may 28, 2021 at 6:02 pm much props for being so educated on actual problems, not the fake ones, and trying to promote some level of knowledge on a few of them. at this point the racist jerks feel like they’re persecuted but there is a difference between being actually persecuted and prosecuted. the latter is deserving of any negative effects from such actions and they deserve way more than they’ll ever recieve. exhibita says june 3, 2021 at 8:34 pm apparently you failed your history class smh.. democraps are the racists ones since their inception. they founded the kkk, and are pro jim crow.. what next? are you moronic baby murderers gonna claim that you were pro life all long and conservatives are pro choice when your baby murdering row vs wade fails? knowing the demonrats you would most likely do that.      says june 6, 2021 at 8:59 am your writing skills suck! i don’t think you got your point across because none of it makes any sense. jane galloway says june 15, 2021 at 11:20 pm the confederates were democrts, not republicans, the slave owners were democrats, the segregationists were democrats, the anti civil rights idiots were democrats. learn some american history!! ben says april 19, 2021 at 11:34 am

says june 2, 2021 at 10:14 pm you’re stupid janet says april 18, 2021 at 4:41 pm this is a disgusting display of comments. how disappointing and how ashamed i am to reside in fillmore county right now. i have lived here all my life and i am 58 years old, i have never seen such disregard for our neighbors throughout the county as i have recently and here on this comment section. not a one of you should be touting god, jesus or going to church on sunday without asking god for forgiveness for the way you treat each other. i am truly disgusted and worried about the kids of today because they have the worst behaving elders and role models. i pray you all can get right with god and each other. anonymous says april 20, 2021 at 11:03 am you… are…. an ….. absolute …. idiot. anonymous says may 12, 2021 at 5:29 pm that was a lot of writing to say you hate it here. so my suggestion would be to ask you to leave as you don’t care to be here. make your way back to where you came from and we will call it even. anonymous says may 14, 2021 at 5:37 pm no balls republican i’m somehow sure you chicken shit. cindy jantz says may 5, 2021 at 1:46 am amen! these people are ungodly and wicked! repent sinners! some day you will face the lord jesus christ as your judge! you won’t have any human lawyers that will be able to get you off in the righteous judge of the universe’s court when you face him at the white throne judgement! by that time, it will be too late for you! but you will bow the knee and confess that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god the father! so i would advise you to humble yourself under the holy and just and mighty god of israel! the god of the bible and repent! you are headed for an everlasting torment in the lake of fire for all eternity in everlasting darkness and suffering! anonymous says may 10, 2021 at 8:37 am oh hush cindy, no one is listening to you. try to hold back on coming off as a sociopath next time. janet says may 12, 2021 at 7:47 am trump was the greatest president ever. biden obama are socialist who hate america and want america to fail! biden is sick and has dementia and obama is using him. guest says june 17, 2021 at 4:42 pm very true. mary jane says june 19, 2021 at 5:00 pm what a bunch of racist crap, who the hell calls blacks colored people but ignorant white republicans most of whom want to go back the to 1950s when blacks knew their place and men told woman what to do! typical republican thinking. jim says may 24, 2021 at 6:24 pm jesus never existed! anonymous says june 15, 2021 at 7:42 am prove it, before you say it. eyegore says may 24, 2021 at 11:28 pm you omitted your joke’s punchline john says may 28, 2021 at 6:05 pm you clearly get what she was saying….. you’re the devil in the church. wicked, hateful, deceitful and the complete antithesis of everything we’re taught by jesus. reality bites says may 31, 2021 at 10:25 am find hate, there is a religious defect….. find despair, there is religion’s result. religion is the root of all evil, it protects evil, provides for evil doers and betrays the ignorant. thoth al khem says june 2, 2021 at 3:35 pm judge not lest you be judged. jane galloway says june 15, 2021 at 11:13 pm taking a verse out of context as you did with matthew 7:1 is what all marxists do when they denigrat christians!! the truth is, if you read that whole chapter, you learn that it is not saying “don’t judge” it is a warning to be careful how we judge, because we will be judged by the same standards that we judge others by! nothing in the bible says we are not to judge at all; only brainwashed idiots believe that!!!! c..s. says may 12, 2021 at 2:09 pm i agree terry says may 24, 2021 at 4:33 pm public schools and expensive communist private schools are the problem with those that hire in government jobs , people that could not make it in the real job market. so they sell us out. they have no care for others. hope we take it back. jeff says may 25, 2021 at 10:07 pm i was gonna write something snotty until i read all of your statement. i am 52 years old and have lived in 3 countries. what the heck is going on? why is everyone so mad? its the media i believe. everyone is a politician now a days. they spread hate. the same way that hitler came into power. you are truely right janet. i am glad i never had kids because no one goes to church and has no respect for their neighbor. what happened? i dont understand… sad… bob says april 15, 2021 at 6:38 pm you’re an idiot, hook line and sinker! you’re coconut is fully washed and primed. how embarrassing that you consider yourself patriotic.. you hate our democratic values and principles. or, maybe you’re just a russian bot, stocking more division. trump fawned over putin and failed to be a true patriot and protect us. so please go visit the wizard, and go get a new brain. anonymous says april 21, 2021 at 8:51 pm amen brother! anonymous says april 22, 2021 at 9:14 pm you are a true moron as all marxists. very low iq. leave our country snd go live with your communist heroes you crazy anti god loser. anonomass says may 6, 2021 at 3:48 pm the very fact you mentioned “i.q.” and don’t understand the word “marxist”, tells me exactly where you fall in that spectrum. oh, and god is irrelevant. you can believe in whatever fairytale you want and no matter what the founders believed in, you are in the minority! you and your republican friends can not win any elections beyond small southern districts without gerrymandering or restricting voting. that shows your fear. you should be afraid only if you want to decide for other people how they should live their lives or who they should love or stop the world from progressing to something better than it is today. the days of the minority deciding for the majority are coming to an end my friend. every, and i mean every single plan your “conservative” friends have enacted has further degraded the massive leaps forward this country has made. this is provable fact. hard data and facts to go with what everyone else can already see happening around us. no one is trying to stop you from worshipping your floaty bearded guy or visiting your tax free “go fund me” houses you refer to as churches. you are left alone to wallow in your ignorance. yet, all you people love spending your days telling everyone else how they should live, what they can do and that nothing should change as long as you have the advantage (basically the definition of conservative). you cannot stop change! nothing stays the same! every 5 year old knows this. you cannot stand in the way of progress but you can repeat the same stupid mistakes of the past by “white washing” history and pretending things happened in a certain way so you don’t have to face the truth. that’s fine with me if you want to live that way. you will not decide that i should teach my children that garbage though. so take your “1776 pledge” and the like, and stuff it! anonymous says may 10, 2021 at 8:42 am you can’t even type out a single line correctly yet you wanna call out our iq!? no one asked you to stop breeding with your family so you could try and comment. suzy says may 19, 2021 at 8:52 am trumpy is that you? have fun in prison traitorous p.o.s. jane galloway says june 15, 2021 at 11:16 pm what treason did trump commit! only marxists like you commit treason!!!! mp says may 3, 2021 at 3:17 am how do you like your country now, bob? anonymous says may 10, 2021 at 8:39 am its still full of you people so i’m assuming the same. bob says may 24, 2021 at 11:02 am pretty great so far. travel is opening, mask restrictions being lifted, key economic indicators are booming. so far so good! anonymous says may 9, 2021 at 7:47 am darn right, bob! anonymous says may 25, 2021 at 10:14 pm hey bob, your mom never taught you about manners apparently or you are just being an ass for attention. hows them gas prices for you now? 70 cents a gallon higher and 12000 people out of work on the pipeline in the first day of stolen office. you listen to public bought radio and tv apparently. you dont have to insult people to get your point across. but your a democrat and dont have a clue about dr martin luther king. so… youre an idiot. jk says may 27, 2021 at 5:03 pm demoncrats do not have values or principles. they refute every religion, most especially christianity in their entirety. demoncrats despise freedom and liberty, hence their ongoing 50+ year fight to overturm the 1st and 2nd amendments so they can further attack the constitution and destroy it to make way for their communist autocracy with joe the rapist and child molester biden as their supreme dictator. just think on that for a moment. these demoncrats elected a known rapist and a well documented child molester for no other reason than they hate america, freedom, and jesus. they are solely responsible for 13.2 million deaths of innocents since the passing of roe vs wade in the us court system. that makes them twice as evil as adolf hitler as he only managed to murder 6 million in the holocaust, as generally agreed upon by most every historical scholar today. remember that the next tome some evil horn sprouting pitchfork wielding satan worshipping communist demoncrat tries to claim they have the moral high ground to you. they are murderers of innocents unlike any in all of recorded human history and they are going to burn in eternal hellfire for their evil ways. the fact that they outright hate america and our freedom that we have fought for is only the cherry on the cake for them. mary jane says june 19, 2021 at 4:53 pm what f…ing planet are you from watch idiot trump tv much! why are so many republicans so full of hate! stop watching tucker carlson! i donnot see dems on here spewing lies and hate about rep. most of whom are so afraid the others are going to take their stupid coal jobs! scott says june 11, 2021 at 3:19 pm says the low iq sheep. we are a constitutional republic, learn something sheep. trump trumped obama in furthering the country for all, this is proven in statistical facts. you sheep cried russian collusion for years, yet you fell flat on your face like usual. democrats have never been on the right side of history. you got whooped to end slavery and will get done so again…. ad says april 13, 2021 at 4:43 pm well, i’m just a 11 year old wondering why can’t we share ideologies and respect that? we all have different opinions that are both reasonable and unreasonable, but sometimes, no all the time we have opinions that oppose with what the other party thinks. so from this clashing political war, both sides compete against each other try to influence more people to join in on their views. i believe in our national security and that communists should be stopped, but i also want to help the environment and shrink the gap between the poor and the rich. i’m just saying that i have an ideology that has both conservative and liberal opinions. i may have some liberal/leftist views but some speakers say negative things about my ideology. that’s pretty ignorant of them because if don’t they anything better to say, then please don’t say it. the goal of being an influential speaker is not about using negativity to cause outrage against someone, but to be a reasonable and peaceful speaker who respects the opposing opinion and expresses views that most people can agree with. by doing that, you can influence people with different views more easily instead of causing them to resent your own ideology even more. wille says june 2, 2021 at 11:28 am smd ad says april 13, 2021 at 4:12 pm well, i’m just a 11 year old wondering why can’t we share ideologies and respect that? we all have

says may 11, 2021 at 11:11 am an 11 year old is showing more class, dignity, and understanding than 99% of all conservative republicans. imagine that! there’s hope for the future! anonymous says april 13, 2021 at 12:58 pm oh boy, there are as many heated and serious debates as the eye can see. eyegore says may 24, 2021 at 11:30 pm “you are a true moron as all marxists. very low iq. leave our country snd go live with your communist heroes you crazy anti god loser.” you consider this an argument? you're all stupid says april 11, 2021 at 1:09 pm so we shouldn’t strive to be better because other parts of the world are worse? complacency is the death knell for every prior super power in history. also doesn’t seem like you know the history of america spouting about how we are a biblical, christian society when separation of church and state is literally written right there for you to see and our ancestors were fleeing religious persecution with the ideals of a society where anyone could worship what they wished. anonymous says may 5, 2021 at 1:21 am well, from what you just said, you dont know american history. america was founded by christains and our laws were made by biblical morals. do you know that in americas first goverment that you were not even allowed to be part of government if you were not a christian, did you know that. did you know the first person that brought slaves to america was a black man and he owned 8 white slaves and 3 black slaves. did you know the first republicans were black? did you know that the first republicans never owned even one slave. do you know that the democratic party voted 100% against blacks able to have first second, 13,14,15,and the 16th amendment. do you know that every single country in the world and every single group and type of people bought, sold and had slaves white and black. tgiboney says may 11, 2021 at 11:16 am do not be fooled. take anything you hear or read as someone’s ‘idea’ of what ‘could’ be true. do your own independent fact checking. most of what was just stated are blatant lies. hope says may 19, 2021 at 3:30 am amen jim says may 24, 2021 at 6:26 pm jefferson was an atheist eyegore says may 24, 2021 at 11:31 pm aaaaaaaaaaaaaand….. the neo nazi in sheeps’ clothing has chimed in. jk says may 27, 2021 at 5:13 pm no, they don’t know that because they are illiterate and uneducated liberal demoncrats who have one goal and one goal only and that is to overthrow liberty and democracy and make the usa a communist dictatorship. that’s all the demoncrat party has ever wanted in modern times. to hurt those that work for a living and give everything to those that refuse to work for a living and hate this country. we see this day in and day out today in politics where the left constant tries to erode our moral national standards, push evil upon us. homosexuality to them is a virtue, not the blasphemy that they will burn in eternal hellfire for as every major religion on this planet agrees with. that is over 90% of our species that believes that these evil scumbags are going to suffer in the afterlife, but they somehow try to claim they have some sort of moral highground by constantly claiming every single person that doesn’t think the same way as them is a racist or a bigot. despite the fact that the left is solely responsible for 13.2 million murders of innocent human beings thanks to roe vs wade.. twice as many as hitler was able to murder in the holocaust. next time you see a demoncrat, just remember that they are twice as evil as hitler and will suffer twice as much in the hereafter as he is. there is not one sane soul alive today who thinks hitler was a kind and just human being, and yet these liberal progressives are twice as bad as he is, yet we tolerate them to live amongst us as if they are real human beings and not the demons from hell that we know them to truly be. reject the demoncrats. reject chinese communism. reject evil and blasphemous ways. never vote demoncrat again and you will do your small part to save the last great free republic on this planet from the clutches of evil socialism and communism. anonymous says march 9, 2022 at 10:14 pm ok homophobe bluedolphin14 says may 28, 2021 at 10:01 am america was not founded as a christian nation. that is historical revisionist balogna that was created and spewed because it serves the religious right. america was founded on religious freedom, not christianity!!! cindy jantz says may 5, 2021 at 2:10 am amen! i just don’t know how many of the electorate, or is it those bent on holding onto the reigns of power and control over the people, that they are willing to pump out more propaganda? using the main stream media who are in lock step with those power hungry politicians who care nothing about our great country, or it’s beautiful biblical foundation? does everyone just feed on the lies and propaganda and swallow down the koolaid? when people that were forced to live under the horrible, murderous regime of the soviet union that fled the wretched persecution they suffered in eastern europe and came to the united states to seek the precious liberty they so greatly risked life and limb to escape their tormentors under the horrible atrocities of communism; and then they see how gullible and naive americans are, they are flabbergasted by our incredible ability to be so easy to be deceived by those who would steal our god given liberties, and just allow them to take what they have no right to! when a people (country/nation) forgets their history, or the lessons learned by our founders when they founded this great country, we are doomed to repeat the wretched mistakes of the past!!!!!! anonymous says may 10, 2021 at 5:41 pm “does everyone just feed on the lies and propaganda and swallow down the koolaid? ” you say, right after saying: “our great country, or it’s beautiful biblical foundation?” so you kinda answered your own question. you seriously seem to be swallowing the koolaid for sure. cathy says may 30, 2021 at 1:20 pm when our politicians are making millions while holding office pay attention they do not care

am there’s no such thing as a god, j.c. was nobody but a story in a book. we don’t hate america or trump….we just didn’t trust a gameshow host to be a good president, especially after he implied that we should invest disinfectant to kill the coronavirus…. sure, it would kill the virus, but it would also kill us we all heard that, you can’t say that was made up….. and if you try to say that was made up, you’re another chumper moron. if trump hadn’t attempted to justify all of the childlike hate these people have for anyone who is not white, if he had not come across to everyone that we owed him something for paying attention to our once great before chump country, we would have had no problem with him. if he hadn’t blown the whole right side of politics out of the water with his hitlerlike hate for anyone on the other side of the southern border, he might have had a chance with us. all of that hate is simply in american. white supremacisty and systemic racism simply has no place in our country. anonymous says may 9, 2021 at 4:37 am you don’t realize that you are a slave to how the information is presented to you. you lack critical thinking skills and then laugh at trump. pot meet kettle. ron says may 23, 2021 at 10:31 am wow such hatred you have. but can it last? just look at what you are doing to the ones you love as a result of your hate. god bless you keith says november 4, 2021 at 12:53 am no god????? go on line, look for chariot wheels in the red sea   there are hundreds of them, some still relatively intact but mostly wheels. also weapons and skeletons of horses and humans. they are coral incrusted and look just as they should for being there for 3400 years. and a windstorm did not blow a pathway across. there is only one beach on the west side of the sea large enough to hold 1/2 million people and from there to the other side it is 2oo and even 300 ft. deep!!! they also found noah’s ark. it is on mt. ararat as it says in the bible. they did enough excavation to know for sure what it was but were kicked out when the war got too hot. there is no reason for americans to be so divided right now. do a little more research. look up information on the bilderberg group (read all of it) the new world order and see what their agenda is. also the rothchild family has a federal reserve bank in over 184 countries   you don’t think they have a strangle hold on the world??? if you look long enough you will be able to see very clearly what is wrong with the world right now. finding the truth about these things will lead you to everything else you need to know and to stop fighting with your fellow americans. we are in a very fragile position right now   the very worst in all of history   trump is a little rough around the edges but washington is a swamp .in reading about the bilderberg group etc. you will find out how all of our important news  politics etc.has been controlled and changed or even kept silent  so it really is fake news!!! we really do need god to bless amerca right now!!!!! the new world order (including bill gates) wants to reduce the world population from 7 1/2 billion down to 1/2 billion. so it would just include the important rich. which group do you think you will be in???? so, please please please find out the truth and band together   just as we did in the revolution  ary war and broke away from england   and got our freedom   god bless america!!!! eliny says may 2, 2021 at 11:27 am bot anonymous says may 10, 2021 at 8:46 am simpleton matthew says march 30, 2021 at 4:14 pm okay, so first and foremost, it was proven through a recorded interview that was not made by the left. it was done back in february of 2020 and in it he expresses the severity of the coronavirus, almost in a bragging fashion. he was probably trying to impress bob woodward, but in any case at the same time he was telling the public that it was nothing and nothing would come of it. it’s a rhetoric he continued through the whole crisis and it cost many peoples’ lives. even dr. birx who had worked for him recently said most of those deaths could have been prevented had it been taken more seriously. trump even said he didn’t want to talk about the severity because he didn’t want to cause a panic, which as we all know now was completely not true. he incited panics after saying that, most notably that takeover of the capitol building. this is not the left making him look bad to support their agenda. this goes beyond political lines into showing that he had an agenda with this coronavirus that we’ll probably never even know about by lying to the people, inciting riots and distracting them from it so more people would get sick and die. luckily keeping us in fear did not get him reelected. and so if you are so against the left, go ahead and give back those three stimulus checks you got because the right didn’t want you to get them.. you’re a hypocrite who’ll believe anything fox news wants you to believe and you’re what is the problem with this country. i hope for your sake you don’t have to find out why the hard way. if trump had been reelected a lot of you would have. count yourself lucky and keep your narrow minded opinion to yourself. you’re not helping anyone. anonymous says april 2, 2021 at 5:11 pm just like all the other accusations from the left….they’re all losers… anonymous says april 22, 2021 at 1:28 pm says the sheep who terrorized congress on the whims of a perverted, delusional dumpster fire named loser donnie trump. franklin powell says june 9, 2021 at 12:18 pm true!!! anonymous says april 26, 2021 at 5:42 pm you’re an idiot. anonymous says april 27, 2021 at 12:27 pm sorry ass wipe but the loser is you. trump got beat fair and out right the american majority has had enough of minority rule by your mob. go back to church self righteous ass hole. terry says may 24, 2021 at 4:37 pm sorry you are wrong they have so much proof , i fack they have cheated for decades. terry says may 26, 2021 at 1:44 pm you are going to be shock when you find out the truth. anonymous says may 1, 2021 at 12:52 pm seditious moron says what? anonymous says april 3, 2021 at 12:34 pm neither are you helping anyone!!!’ anonymous says april 4, 2021 at 5:44 am yes, it’s not true what the republicans say….. the left don’t hate america. we hate what that gameshow host wants us all to be: a bunch of money hungry, self pandering, emotionless buttholes who think we can hurt everyone just to get what we want with no repercussions. he really should have stuck with his gameshow. anonymous says april 24, 2021 at 10:29 am stfu! the demoncrap party is a cancer on this great country. anonymous says may 16, 2021 at 4:45 pm they’re much worse than cancer altogether. guest says june 11, 2021 at 7:56 am what is much worse is that these people are breathing and multiplying. anonymous says may 31, 2021 at 4:25 pm so true. cindy jantz says may 5, 2021 at 2:26 am the left does hate america!!! i don’t care what you say! you are obviously part of the deceived and propaganda spreading left! which means that you are part of the problem! go drink down your “stupid koolaid” and tell someone on one of your leftist ideologies blogs that believes your stupid lying agenda! victoria bankus says april 5, 2021 at 8:36 am you must be one that does not work and wants everything handed to you!! i never got checks on disability and retired and really do not care!! i worked for every penny i earned, biden does not care about american people just blacks and latino, to bad for him because some american people have been pushed to far!!! bien/harris will never be my president/vice, its trum p all the way and he not done!! anonymous says may 3, 2021 at 8:37 am you forgot, the left cheats doctor says may 4, 2021 at 7:17 am you must have forgotten that your medicare is a lefty socialist program and that you did not earn all that you have gotten back. so. you did not work for every penny you have gotten….you can of course send back the portion that you did not earn… t rump would throw a person like you under the bus in a second if he got something for it…i have pity for you eyegore says may 24, 2021 at 11:38 pm hitler’s spawn is here. doug cary says april 5, 2021 at 5:05 pm once again.you are the supreme hypocrite.,reveal an agenda of evil that only exist in your mind so you really cannot explain with any sense of reason ,what it is, only that its bad like ”orange man bad”and look for someone to take responsibility for your made up scenario,any republician will do…lets just say anyone whom expresses a god givin sense of reason ,is the enemy. that simplifies your targets to defame and label as the natzis and hypocrites or whatever you are. you spend your time blaming and hanging your tag on others..your a perfect hypocrite. m says april 6, 2021 at 7:44 am tonite when your boyfriend is behind you again… tell him to stop yanking on your manbun so hard, its really messing up those last two brain cells left in your otherwise empty skull cavity . anonymous says april 22, 2021 at 1:31 pm oh boy, the racist homophobes are here! once again history will not be kind to you traitorous, congress invading lunatics. ben says april 6, 2021 at 2:36 pm wah wah …typical. there are many that would give the money back to have their jobs and all the phoney rhetoric that there is. quit with the lies. be honest. it’s all getting very old. along with the fake emotions. rob says april 6, 2021 at 10:42 pm turns out it really wasn’t a big deal. weird how there’s so many corona cases, and a 97% decrease in seasonal flu. hey, no problem with giving back those stimmy’s though! never got em anyways. apparently i made to much money the last 2 years, but i suppose i should be happy to have helped pay for yours and all the others so that you can stay home a little longer without having to contribute anything. it’s cool, the rest of us will continue working to pick up the slack. rhonda machado says april 7, 2021 at 5:34 pm clearlyso true .no pity angree yes shows no class . by the way dont count one me ever getting there clearly i have been made a ass of and clear .i will not be meeting with no 1. rob says april 8, 2021 at 3:13 am sorry mathew but you are dead wrong and also have a selective memory. as i recall trump wanted a travel ban and was labeled a racist and xenophobe by our current president. in addition pelosi was walking around china town telling everyone to come on down and not to listen to trump. do you remember the governors of several democratic states praising trump for his swift action in getting them what they needed? i remember but that doesn’t matter to you because you can only think in terms of orange man bad. how about trump warning of a massive wave of illegal immigration? oh that’s right it isn’t happening. to claim that trump tried to keep people living in fear is a crock and you know it. lying to others isn’t good but lying to yourself is even worse. tim says april 8, 2021 at 8:44 am matthew, it’s very apparent that you cannot see the forest for the trees. you speak of inciting riots yet we experienced a year of riots from the left leading up to the election but i guess those aren’t important as a focus due to the fact they were instigated and executed by the leftist terrorist organizations like antifa and blm. by no means is trump a perfect man but how are you enjoying the dictatorship we are experiencing now with more executive orders signed by the chump in office than any president before him? oh wait, you’re obviously a lefty so i’m sure you’re just fine with this. and the stimulus checks you speak of, are you fully supportive of these evil politicians putting so much pork into these bills that only a small fraction goes to the american people who are suffering? my god, it’s time to open your eyes and see that you can’t tax your way into prosperity and that socialism/communism has failed miserably and to the detriment of the population while only benefiting those in power. miac11@coastalnet.com says april 8, 2021 at 9:32 pm i disagree. the left has completely politicized covid, first to get trump out of office and now, i am not sure. it is not the fault of one person in the white house. leftist policies and naivety toward drugs has created our opioid epidemic, which is killing thousands of mostly young and healthy people but cnn and usa today would never know it. anonymous says april 22, 2021 at 1:36 pm the left politicized covid? lol the delusional right speaks again, as they cry about masks as “a tool of control”….first you clowns believe trump won the election, he didn’t pay off a porn star, now this…. lou says june 15, 2021 at 2:29 pm wow you guys really are delusional. sad. mark says april 9, 2021 at 7:42 am matthew your wrong here. the media said loosely if there is any real journalist left, showed pictures of antifa members turning their maga hats around backwards so they could be identified. how dumb are people that continue to vote for democrats. they promise you the moon and deliver nothing. look at sleep joe this week. trying to take over guns again. dems never run on their track records because they don’t really have one. they for slavery not against like the republicans. dems came out with welfare to keep folks in modern day slavery for generations and it worked. the dems will give away anything they can get their hands on. the government only owns what it takes from others. those stim checks, yeah wait for the taxes you pay to support that. the average american will pay $7600.00 more under biden than trump. sleepy joe went after guns this week. in reality, all the major gun crimes were committed in no gun zones. people that pass background checks to buy guns are committing heinous crimes where? it’s an old sad argument that the left base likes. socialism works nowhere! giving something to people for nothing makes them appreciate nothing. we use to have social programs that taught people how to work and have esteem, a sense of self respect, and an incentive to keep a job. now the left has taught folks to stay home, teachers to be lazy in a union, and that anyone that has an opinion on their ideas, or against them is a xenophobe, racist, alt right, or to be more frank, a republican. don’t take my work for it. look at every level of government in dem run cities. crime at an all time high, gun crimes with black on black is off the rails. inner city violence and poverty stricken communities are not being rebuilt, or kids are watching themselves. look at the district al sharpton represented. trump called him out on it and he lost his mind. it was the truth, but he attacked trump and nobody called him out from the left. because when you in power, you don’t attach your own. that’s why the dems will eventuall fail again. they put party before country. these communities have been run by dems for many decades and they finally have you right where they want you. asking for permission to stay in you homes, asking for more money because their welfare is not enough now. having babies out of wedlock having babies by 3 4 different men to get the maximum money from the government. we let thousands into the country so they can one day illegally vote for the dem machine to keep the cycle going. joe has opened the border wide so the new voters don’t trip on the corona infected folks coming across. we have kids lying on the floor at the so called kid centers shoulder to shoulder. if trump did this there would be reporters saying how horrible he is, you journalist don’t care about that because you got a dem back in the white house and all dems really care about is power. never mind that joe is breaking all the laws he swore to uphold, because he’s getting future voters. remember this when the country is broken and no more loans are available from his chinese buddies. you at some point must know that spending 7 trillion dollars in his first quarter is not sustainable. the only way to sustain this rampant spending is? yes to tax the working americans that still go to work everyday. name a single dem that lives in the impoverished environments they govern over. you can’t, just remember joe biden came into a flourishing economy, border wall was effective, policies were working to keep immigrants out, stock market was doing fine, lowest unemployment, and people had already come up with the cure for a pandemic in 9 months. joe biden will wreck this economy with his marxist type policies. the facts are pretty easy to find, dems agenda is entirely different than there public narrative. don’t pay attention to what they say, pay attention to what they do. sleepy joe said he was not coming after guns, he just did yesterday. he said he would send folks back across the borders, he’s not. he said he would not ban fracking, he is. he said he would not shut down oil in this country, he did. he stated he would not send job over seas, he is by bringing back the worst tax on business at around 36%. do you folks now realize the products have to be marked up 50% to make a 15% profit. that will barely sustain the average manufacturing company, and with the benefits the dem run unions operate will force manufacturing out of this country again. this could not work under any of the other dem presidents and won’t work now. don’t you folks get it, to give all the low life’s that vote dem that won’t work, you have to take money from someone and give it to someone else. when are folks going to wake up. a shell game is easy to predict, most folks are going through life without watching the empty shells the dems keep moving around, only the thinking people are keeping their eye on the empty shell. we call those folks republicans. there not all good, but remember it wasn’t their idea to take god off money, or out of the constitution, or schools. all ideas from dems and organizations that support dems.. wonder who supports the aclu, not republicans. abortion orgs like planned parenthood that purposely puts clinics in black and hispanic neighborhoods, not republicans. it’s all part of the dems master plan to remove what we use to call minorities from having children. the chinese just tell their people you can’t have kids, we just put up abortion clinics in the poorest communities and call it planned parenthood. anyone seeing the larger picture here. jeffrey says april 9, 2021 at 11:38 am an emotionally challenged retort riddled with fallacies is not an argument . sickofdemmorons says april 9, 2021 at 1:33 pm let’s cut through the caca and quit trying to make ourselves feel better by telling the mean people meaner things… what is this, high school? two things that are very evident. the people are fed up, and we’re sick of hearing the other side talk. literally, grammar and spelling aside, you still read it, still understood it, and you choose to be petty? what is this, high school? why don’t we all say what we mean. both sides suck. but we love our country enough to admit that if we had our way the other side would suffer an unfortunate boating accident that cost them their lives. no? which eventually reduces down to: “why dont yall just scrap for it”? literally. this country needs a reset. just go into the street and fist foght for it. bet your mouthy comments stop when you start losing teeth in order to pay the toll for saying it. the problem is americans are spoiled. most of the mouthiest are often only such, as they lack the ability to best you in debate. “youre dumb. i can spell hypocrite. see hypocrite? i can spell. im better. *raspberries* literally. jacob schaafs says april 10, 2021 at 4:42 am you don’t see the hypocrisy in formulating a poignantly narrow minded personal attack piece on the grounds of the person you’re attacking being narrow minded? you’re both wrong. smart people look to learn from those who think differently. you’re both obsessing on your own superhuman correctness. i bet you both that leaders from the republican and democratic parties are currently, and have been for years (if not decades) working together to keep tension high between the right and the left, all the while embezzling government funds, and defrauding the american taxpayer. as long as we keep bickering, the plan to divide and conquer keeps working. janet says april 11, 2021 at 9:24 am “keep your narrow minded opinion to yourself”…that’s the proof that you’re the narrow minded one, since you can’t stand to hear different opinions & you want to silence any opinion that challenges your opinion. that statement proves that you don’t believe in freedom for certain people to express their opinion if it differs from yours. you seem to be the “narrow minded” one, since you are instructing others (of a differing opinion) to keep quiet & not share any opinion that you find disagreeable. that proves that you are against freedom of speech (for certain people). i differ from you in that i believe that everyone should have the right to share their own opinions without fear & i encourage everyone to do so. i am the anti keep your opinion to yourself person. i say, “please, share your opinion. come. let us reason together; which requires 2 reasonable people. someday, your opinion might differ from the mob (majority’s) opinion & they will tell you (with threats of imprisonment or worse) to keep your opinion to yourself. then what will you do? fall in line? submit your mind, will & heart to conform to avoid punishment? if everyone is not free to express their opinion, the no one is really free. maybe think about changing that one attitude you seem to possess; that anyone who disagrees with you & dares to express it should be ordered to keep their opinion to themself. anonymous says april 11, 2021 at 1:42 pm i am terrified that all we have in this country of ours is trump or biden, where are the geniuses and compassionate men and women that i know exist in this country? we need them to step up and run for office! anonymous says may 9, 2021 at 4:47 am there is no political solution. both sides are controlled by corporations anonymous says april 11, 2021 at 5:26 pm or maybe you’ve got your head shoved up your ass and can’t accept the fact your the very thing you hate. 1 choice is not a choice. that’s called totalitarianism bud. a choice is having the right to say fuck off or no. i am not going to be bullied into thinking exactly like you. which is what you want. go get a job, support yourself and stop begging the government for money you and black lives matter (sorry white women matter). while your dealing with fake problems, i am here worrying about the unethical unchecked sweatshops that are over seas you hypocrite. oh these people would love your first world problems. they make less than a dollar a year and you and your selfish actions allow it to happen say your all for life? stop supporting abortion. all life matters. facts don’t care about your emotions. anonymous says may 1, 2021 at 12:57 pm i did’t get a stimulus check because i made too much, but i sure as hell financed your check, seditious welfare queen. bluedolphin14 says may 28, 2021 at 10:14 am same here. no stimulus check. my experience is that i make way more money than any of the conservatives who accuse me if being a welfare queen. alex says april 12, 2021 at 5:59 pm no, sorry i was there watching the news it was a left it was saying it was no big deal such as nancy pelosi in chinatown saying come visit there’s no problem here it was president trump that locked down this country from travelers from other lands that had high cases of coronavirus so right off the top what you are saying is a lie at a bunch of bs you must just listen to the liberal media spinning their little yarns and changing the truth whenever they feel like it people are not as stupid as you think they are. trump has a lot of successes and the reason why he lost the election was partly because of extreme corruption in the voting process but mostly because the corrupt liberal media continue to paint anybody conservative especially trump as outspoken as he is as wrong and they promote lie after lie as truth and eventually the sad people that don’t really look deep enough into each and every thing because they’re too busy trying to feed their families and work end up believing the malarkey! david says april 13, 2021 at 9:42 am i could care less about government peanuts handed out like coach seating expect to get on cheap airlines. i care about policy our government stands for overseas. jobs creation in america and a moral compass for our children. none of which the current administration has a clue about. just a few years ago the country lost it’s mind marrying people of the same sex. if they want to live together that’s been their choice. but dumbocrat socialist policy is what they want we clearly have 2 separate america’s and the division is not going to heal it is going to divide possibly irreaplicably. civil war level division. i for one am not moving left nor socialist. i don’t want government handouts i chose to stand on my own 2 feet the way my father did working until his death at 87 in his hospital bed for his business… the bible speaks of a day and time when men shall call wrong right and what is true a lie and i clearly see this as the norm today as if the whole democrat party suffers from strong delusion they just cannot admit what is the truth and what is not the truth it seems like the left has blinders on like a horse on an. urban street. biden dropping the abraham accords is a direct giant mistake just as biden not talking to israel’s prime minister yet is unbelievable. the jewish state is one of our greatest allies and this disenguaged puppet presidents handlers need to get with the current oval office guy at least doing one thing presidential. they could at least get him an escalator for air force one if they really cared about him. over half this country is disillusioned and can’t be as stupid as their votes reflect. how anyone can say trump did a bad job is beyond me with 4 years of non stop harrassment from false charges from democrats one after the other and still building our best economy in years and was so hated by the communist china regime they finally unleashed one of their under development weaponised viruses from their wuhan state run laboratory in effort to destabilize trump and we’re willing as others to do anything to get him out of office to have so many against you sometimes means your too good and certain power seekers just can’t stand it. the first person to tell a lie often passes it successful as the truth. but not for long or ever. the truth always prevails i feel sorry for all the blind people on the left and hope they one day will at least listen to the facts and truth not stories to meet their agenda whether it’s lbqtgz issues or their hatred of white people or desire to dismantle the biblically inspired constitution of the united states. yes that’s right our nation’s founders and documents drafters built this nation based on biblical principle a book very familiar to all of them and the fairness found within, making the greatest sense for creating the greatest enduring nation. it will take more than one generation of moral and intelligence bankrupt persons to destroy it no matter how hard they try. anonymous says april 13, 2021 at 11:48 am you hit the nail on the head! ad says april 13, 2021 at 3:40 pm well, i’m just a naive preteen wondering why can’t we share ideologies and respect that? we all have different opinions that are both reasonable and unreasonable, but sometimes, no all the time we have opinions that oppose with what the other party thinks. so from this clashing political war, both sides compete against each other try to influence more people to join in on their views. i believe in our national security and that communists should be stopped, but i also want to help the environment and shrink the gap between the poor and the rich. i’m just saying that i have an ideology that has both conservative and liberal opinions. patriot says april 13, 2021 at 11:56 pm wow! you say trump didn’t take the virus serious enough so people died. if i remember correctly trump was first to shut down travel to america from china! then biden called him xenophobic for it! so trump saved lives that way. also your vice president kamala was telling the american people she does not trust the vaccine! as if trump was the actual scientist that made it! she cost american lives that way! i could go on forever……. geez look at the border right now. it’s caos, they have 500 people crammed in cages only meant for 50 people, actually its 30 people because of covid guidelines. then they turn those covid infected people loose in america! not to mention all the children being raped on their way her. the border is a disaster! trump has it buttoned up nice….. biden turned it into this free for all. and he claims it’s for humanitarian reasons! haha but i guess the left is dumb enough to believe it. i mean where is the outrage? where are the protesters? if it was trump doing this they would be protesting. and it’s all cnn and msnbc would be talking about. but because it doesn’t fit their narrative they keep their mouth shut. it’s people like you matthew that are slowly making america a shitty place to live! think about it abortion clinics, and liqueur stores were allowed to stay open during covid, but i couldn’t go to church!? that’s my right! and they took it from me! the left sees the constitution as a road block that they want to get rid of. the right sees it as our guiding principle that should not be messed with! rogelio quintanilla says july 5, 2021 at 10:34 pm you are 100 % correct and cnn, msnbc, cbs, abc, npr and ny toilet times and wash post should lose their licenses. anonymous says april 15, 2021 at 3:58 am what he said had no control of the outcome of covid. let me know how sleepy joe is changing the world 4 u and the rest of us anonymous says april 15, 2021 at 2:27 pm twisted. bad…… d says april 16, 2021 at 2:24 am open your eyes and see what is now happening in our country with an idiot for a president. he is destroying america one executive order at a time. lou says june 15, 2021 at 2:13 pm lol your comment is dated wrong…should read april 16, 2020. trump is a murdering sack of feces, over half a million dead due to his incompetence. go to hell. mo gilis says april 17, 2021 at 4:39 pm yep, you’ve made some very good points there. it’s food for thought (my thought). i think it’s important to learn as much as you can from every player in the game. i appreciate you taking the time to share your point of view. i’ve been screwed by both sides; or is it just the rich? catalina says april 18, 2021 at 10:57 pm thank you, well said cam222 says april 19, 2021 at 1:22 am thank you, why do people think the right are christians? batshit crazy white evangelist started with reagan. he shut out immigration, caused a war on blacks and shut down the unions. old man bush did the same. trump did the same. i’m only 19, but real christians love thy neighbor. help the poor and follow the constitution. it’s crazy how trump wanted to rewrite history. that crap started with white evangelist. pro birth after the baby is born, they don’t care if it starved, has no shelter or try to help the ones who are unfortunate. trump made a quick executive order before leaving. the “patriot act”. that’s white evangelist education system. it also rewrites history. it’s an abusive, brainwashing cult. thank goodness president biden ripped that executive to pieces. i’m young, but i’m educated. still at vcu. debating in college has been a lot of fun and knowledgeable. but, i must say, democrats kick the republicans ass. being young they use the same ideologies, rectories and conspiracies theories that were used 60 years ago. no, facts. so, this tells me it’s learned from their prior generations. i agree, if trump won 2nd term the virus would of killed millions. now, it comes out he received the covid 19 vaccine. he’s insane. a con man as our president who salutes a communist leader and gets putin to interfere in elections with fabricated lies to ruin his opponents. but, democrats are called, “socialists, communist and hate america. not true! biden is standing his ground with putin and nk kim’. as he should. some trump supporters are realizing they were duped. especially the ones who donated to stop the steal”. he stopped it alright, cleared they’re bank account sad! our troops are coming home. fighting a war for 20 years. and it will continue. that’s what batshit religions are all about. 👍🏻😊🙏🏻🌈 nicky says april 20, 2021 at 1:05 am so true, matthew! anonymous says april 20, 2021 at 7:44 pm trump is the only reason people $2000.00 left wanted to give only $600, while giving foreign countries millions for gender studies. anonymous says april 29, 2021 at 9:49 am you’re an idiot tgiboney says may 11, 2021 at 11:21 am amen to that! truth! anonymous says may 29, 2021 at 2:05 pm your so right. why does hate come from christians that love trump.? because they still believe jesus was a blond haired blue eye american, he was from the middle east, christians have made me sick with all their righteousness and hypocrisy, you turn us off religion because you don’t practice what you preach, your in it for money! look at the mega church preachers  what about the eye of the needle folks. yes  spew more hate at my conclusions, anonymous says may 29, 2021 at 2:07 pm your so right. why does hate come from christians that love trump.? because they

2021 at 9:35 pm how’s biden working out for you? the only thing you got right in your ridiculous response was “…the unwise practice of allowing the uneducated to choose the leader(s) of the free world (alert: that’s sarcasm!). biden has been a disaster! gerri says april 3, 2021 at 12:55 am you’re absolutely right! bide has en a trojan horse to destroy democracy & implement their globalized socialist agenda. the socialist democrats loath americans lou says june 15, 2021 at 2:14 pm no we loath you. get bent and die. victoria bankus says april 5, 2021 at 8:31 am amen. mask are a joke, they do not protect this virus. united states will never be united again, war coming. anonymous says may 2, 2021 at 3:25 pm shut up cry baby no body cares that you could not go to church, i thought your god was everywhere. go pray the hell at home. your post is full of trump cult lies. lou says june 15, 2021 at 2:16 pm time to contact the fbi again. you people are so ignorant, you announce your criminal intentions all the time. losers. lou says june 15, 2021 at 2:31 pm this site is being censored and all biden supporters who bite back are not allowed to publish here. guess it’s time to report the entire site to the fbi. you guys busy planning the next insurrection? jennifer says april 5, 2021 at 8:41 pm i totally agree with you! ccacarcarla says april 6, 2021 at 7:47 pm amen‼️ biden is dangerous and yes they hate america. go get your covid vaccine and end up in the mass graves&plastic coffins they have ready since obamhaha.youre what’s wrong with this country you leftard. cnn lies anonymous says may 2, 2021 at 3:27 pm shut up if you are to much of a baby to get the shot ok but donnot try to keep others from saving their own lives you selfish idiot. anonymous says april 9, 2021 at 4:16 pm thank you! well said! jacob schaafs says april 10, 2021 at 4:45 am you shouldn’t have to use parenthesis to make a sarcastic joke work. go outside and talk to a real person face to face please. plaindarksedan says april 11, 2021 at 1:45 pm “as a counter to the misinformation and outright lies put out by the right leaning hypocritical nutters” fixed that. now on to your drivel… biden, actually, is working out fine. despite the mewlings and falsities of the biden hating trump lovers and their cult. between the outright blatant lies of the tinfoil hat trump crowd, and the incessant whining, it’s obvious that it is not the uneducated in this nation that should concern us, but the willfully ignorant would be fascists of the ” right wing”. anonymous says april 13, 2021 at 8:38 am so a disaster is someone who gets vaccines for everyone against a virus instead of bragging about how great he is and”trying to avoid a panic”? i think that the real disaster is the guy who knew about the virus, didn’t tell anyone until people started catching it, and still like playing it down, because he didn’t want to create a panic” we needed to panic. when there is cause, you panic. or you pretend that the problem doesn’t exist because it’s an inconvenience your reelection. lou says june 15, 2021 at 2:18 pm if he does not go to prison for a long time, i have lost all faith in our justice system. if cops are not reined in and punished for murdering innocent people, i have also lost all faith. fuck amerikkka. david says april 13, 2021 at 9:48 am biden. ” is ” a disaster! bluedolphin14 says may 28, 2021 at 10:25 am explain how exactly. examples of the disastrous things he has done. i think it is nice to have a government actually try to help it’s own people for a change. supportive government is not socialism. it is government doing what government is supposed to do. the conservatives want a complete lack of government, which really means the strongest survive and suppress everyone else. that is not freedom. survival of the fittest darwinism is not freedom for the downtrodden. we are supposed to be civil. we are better than the conservative vision for us. we are capable of planning and working together. only the most arrogant and narcissistic amount us think otherwise! government is there to be the tool of the people to represent us against those who would turn us into slaves. americans are being slowly turned into slaves because the right has been attacking the government for 50 years. without government, the strong, most brutal and devious amoung us end up ruling! good job religious conservatives. it looks like you are winning, and ruining the america you propose to love in the process. lou says june 15, 2021 at 2:24 pm biden is your president dipshit. i know, you lost your woody again, but no worries. no women want to sleep with boys like you. you are trash. anonymous says june 18, 2021 at 7:37 am this is why america is going down the toilet. anonymous says june 18, 2021 at 7:39 am david, this is why our world is going down the toilet. luisluiscarrazana..lc@fmail.com says april 13, 2021 at 2:23 pm si agree with you one hundred percent anonymous says april 15, 2021 at 2:40 am hes working out great, thanks for asking. i got to tell you though, your misery and anger makes progress so much better. it’s like icing on the cake. i get so much joy watching you guys trying to do part in owning the liberals. your cluelessness is an absolute delight. and we’re just beginning. lou says june 15, 2021 at 2:26 pm yes! i too love to watch them cry and writhe about, tearing at their clothes. their idiot tears are delish. anita thoney says april 15, 2021 at 9:59 pm if they think socialisn is the answer to better medical care better think again. for god’s sake, look at countries that have tried to live under socialism/communism. the only countries who have it are smaller and pay half or more of their earnings in taxes. americans are too independent to fall for a socialist scheme and be happy with it. it would be ruinous we learn from other’s mistakes, if we are smart. we seem to be closer to fachism, in which the people own their property but the government tells them what they can do with it. we had the best president who understood america and her needs but the haters just couldn’t stand it. why do we have to go through hell because some spoiled undereducated brats can’t have what they want in a moments notice? that is the ruination of everything, selfishness narcissism and the failure to plan. just look at the problems in america now, mostly caused by the failing joe biden, et al? it is heinous to even think of ruining the best country the world has ever known to placate a bunch of idiots. the world is laughing where they used to respect us. letting the left run a questionable election , using the crisis of a pandemic ,may be the worst mistake we have ever made! deb says april 17, 2021 at 2:14 am biden has been a godsend. thank his trump is gone and hopefully will get the karma he deserves. all the repubs care about are guns, not paying taxes if they are wealthy, themselves and their fear that white people will some day be the minority. i’m white and republicans are selfish, bigoted and although they whine about their rights being taking, they have no problem taking rights from others. they hate progression and don’t care about pollution, health care or humans in general. they are a dying party and they know it. r dro says april 18, 2021 at 12:22 pm disaster??? what planet are you living on ??? anonymous says april 20, 2021 at 10:25 am biden is working out great. better than all the trash has been in the white house so far. in fact i plan on voting for him against trump in 2024 mary jane says june 19, 2021 at 4:13 pm great! and you are another fox watching trump idiot! bw says march 16, 2021 at 6:42 pm if these are examples of the intellect of the voting public, it’s easy to see why the country is failing. is there a single comment/letter here that doesn’t have a misspelled word in it? how many with complete sentences? and tenses? don’t make me laugh. this whole very long page of 7 year old insults and cringeable nonexistent grammar is a disgraceful comment on the unwise practice of allowing the uneducated to choose the leader(s) of the free world (alert: that’s sarcasm!). bob says march 18, 2021 at 6:53 pm your post has a staggering amount of grammatical errors as well. anonymous says april 2, 2021 at 5:16 pm name calling and perpetual finger pointing without a hint of common sense is equal to the left.!! d says april 16, 2021 at 2:38 am thank you boob. oh no, i may have misspelled that name. how unintended! or maybe not. i do have trouble with names intermittently. d anonymous says march 19, 2021 at 3:10 pm right, because the future of america depends on how on point your grammar is. not basic morals and the greater good. steve hansmann says april 10, 2021 at 6:49 am “basic morals and the greater good” are entirely absent from the right, particularly the evangelical horrors, the dominionists and the seven mountain freaks. mw says april 11, 2021 at 8:34 am 😂😂😂💯💯💯🤣👊& they have fear with diaper rash like all the evil ones they want the good ones to obey from the same quarter head / tails who steal use the same lame excuse double minded are the ones that thinking evil is good & good is evil double minded.is the biggest bigot ignorant as it guess & we don’t fear like the rest of humanity michael says march 19, 2021 at 11:17 pm it seems many things don’t end just continual blame. the truth is right or left both sides were mistaken. the right made wealthy more money left tried to heal others without judgement. we need to heal our country and stop playing games. covid is a perfect example of who knew and when they knew? heal the country not the party affiliations. david says april 5, 2021 at 5:11 pm we know,doesn’t look good for that becoming a reality mike.power and money im afraid have blurred the real objectives. dc says march 20, 2021 at 9:52 pm it is humorous that the only comments obviously leftist people make are attacks on intelligence and education and yet not bring a single logical thought to the table. mw says april 11, 2021 at 8:35 am 😂😂😂💯💯💯🤣👊& they have fear with diaper rash like all the evil ones they want the good ones to obey from the same quarter head / tails who steal use the same lame excuse double minded are the ones that thinking evil is good & good is evil double minded.is the biggest bigot ignorant as it guess & we don’t fear like the rest of humanity chooch says april 16, 2021 at 9:13 am it’s not really worth it. none of you know the difference between, fact, fiction, and opinion. 🤷 deb says april 17, 2021 at 2:16 am what’s your logical thought? i don’t see it. mary jane says june 19, 2021 at 5:20 pm funny those comments seem to apply only to the right not the left! reality says march 22, 2021 at 8:17 am yes bw!! this *is* the example of the general trump supporter! clueless dolts. they are praising this article, because the opinions stated, match the narrative that was planted in their brains by their echo chamber of equally brain dead, illogical twits, being exploited by other people to do what they want. take this guys fact check of the pandemic response team… …”based on our research, the claim that president trump fired the ‘entire’ pandemic response team is partly false. the directorate of global health security and biodefense was disbanded under trump’s then national security adviser john bolton. but trump didn’t fire its members. some resigned, and others moved to different units on the national security council…”… so…..they weren’t fired, but, there was no more “pandemic response team”, right? isn’t that what matters? that under trump’s watch, the ‘pandemic response team’ was disbanded….did not exist anymore….had to be put back together for covid with pence “leading the way”? these people shouldn’t even have the right to vote. their opinions are based on misinformation, far out of context information, and outright fabrications. piss pants joe says march 31, 2021 at 3:06 pm you don’t work or pay taxes, do you? it’s easy to be a big man and talk your shit online, isn’t it? just be grateful for your anonymity. catalina williams says april 18, 2021 at 10:58 pm yes,ty anonymous says march 23, 2021 at 1:41 am ok grammer nazi the reason for all life problems is misspelled words all right. now kill your self and that will fix all misspelled words i promise. anonymous says april 1, 2021 at 5:33 pm and please dont you ever kill yourself and i promise i will never kill myself either trust me i will neverrr kill myself so stop trying to get me to do that its not going to happen you stupid stupid fuck , but thanks for the tip to show authorities like the dept of justice also my mother. be an honorable person be kind to others. \ d says april 16, 2021 at 2:39 am thank you boob. oh no, i may have misspelled that name. how unintended! or maybe not. i do have trouble with names intermittently. d anonymous says march 23, 2021 at 4:53 am the people who follow trump are ignoramus, racist, xenophobic, hateful, and selfish to the core, who only care about themselves. they are the ones who have put this country in jeopardy and real danger. anonymous says april 3, 2021 at 12:36 pm what are you? michael luszczak says april 4, 2021 at 4:23 pm the people that follow trump, or should i say his respect for americans and the u.s. constitution, are they same type of people which built this great country. if you notice biden and the far left agenda has proposed not 1 bill to benefit the american people. he has cancelled jobs from the fossil fuel area and now imports fuel from other countries, why? because he and some of his followers have invested huge amounts of money in other countries fuel companies, such as canada for one example. by doing this he is profiting from their soaring stocks as fuel prices rise dramatically. less than 10% of covid relief goes to americans and the rest is spread out to countries all over this world., and we are paying it off. why did he give india hundreds of millions for gender study while people and small businesses are suffering here. i’m all for helping others but only when we can afford to. these are just a few examples of biden’s plan to hurt america. also, i believe many politicians are “on the take” but never as much as you are seeing now. the border crises is exactly that, a crises. there is not 1 country in this world that does not protect it’s border. my father met my mother in this country and they both had to prove their loyalty to this country before they became citizens, which they did in just over a year. they came here for a better life just like most of the others but you cannot let people in and just let them loose. you endanger us citizens and the immigrants themselves. the msm billionaires along with the far left democrats have made their wealth from us and now they don’t want others to have the same opportunities. all signs and their actions prove this. they want to live in their ivory towers and have the rest of us live under their control in government housing and to be dependent upon them. i prefer to live free and have my own opportunity for financial gain by working hard and helping others. i can tell by your hatred that you only read google news, follow nbc and other news agencies that regulate what and how much they want you to know. if you were smart you could see how true this is simply by educating yourself better by reading both sides of gov. news, use other sources like sky news of australia, go to gov.org and read the bills being proposed (the whole bill not just the highlights ) and then make your decision. example: georgia’s new voting laws say nothing about not allowing handing out water to people in line and the other un true statements made by the dems. read the bill and then you will know what it is about. don’t be lazy and internet dependent like they want you to be, read the facts. they use emotion and try to divide and conquer as their political tactic. they have been the strongest alley of keeping hatred and racism alive, it is a weapon of theirs. do your research on that topic and you will see. (do it before they erase history, why would anyone want to erase history?). as for your statement of putting this country in real danger it already is and it started with their theft of this election and their push for socialism. socialism never works because of humans natural greed and need for power, and fear of not having what it needs to survive. i work with many immigrants whose relatives still live in social countries and not a one of them like it. anonymous says april 27, 2021 at 12:15 pm why do idiots like you think democrats are socialist that is a lie. i served and love this country and it is embarrassing to think idiots like you believe fox and trump. you need to look at yourself. david says april 5, 2021 at 5:14 pm the pot calls the kettle black over and over and over. mw says april 11, 2021 at 5:45 am hahahaha ok devil child lest see fear fear of death i know who u are blondie hahaha the snakes the rats the dogs the cats the frogs the smelly chinese callender of

wicked people rebels in the name of jesus & the holyghost name finish done. 🤲🙏 anonymous says april 27, 2021 at 12:22 pm you talk about jesus but spew hate and division. jesus said love thy neighbors. you are a hypocrite like the rest of your bible thumping haters. eyegore says may 24, 2021 at 11:34 pm someone forgot to lockdown the pcs at the local cuckoo for cocoa puffs hospital. michael says april 11, 2021 at 5:31 pm i will not be bullied into thinking exactly like you. also what happened to freedom of speech. how would it feel if we took away your right to vote. wouldn’t be so funny. whining and bitching you would be. shut up get a life, and only form an argument with facts reasoning, logic and concrete evidence . oh no wait you can’t! the freedom of speech must be protected and calling a person a racist just because they think differently from you. i am your worst nightmare. a logical person. joan says april 15, 2021 at 3:40 pm what a lie this is! i am not racist, ignorant, selfish or xenophobic! i taught in a public school system for 33 yrs. and taught students of many races. i am a proud republican from the conservative state of louisiana. anita rhoney says april 15, 2021 at 10:04 pm then why do all his ideas work? who are the idiots? it is all coming to light now. anyone with half a brain can see that we need the real visionary trump, not this fantasy, no experience in the real world except to be catered to and spoiled group of radicals who are bound and determined to ruin america! d says april 16, 2021 at 2:43 am at least i’m not a democrat. thank god. lou says june 15, 2021 at 2:32 pm yes thank goddess, i do not want trash like you standing next to me at any protest. parlous1 says april 20, 2021 at 3:13 am name calling, insult and hate. that is all you trump and/or republican haters have to feel alive inside! the leftist socialistic media (who have made hundreds of billions of dollars more than trump has gained under the very capitalism they teach you to despise!) have given you a hate target to help you avoid facing your own personal failures, frustrations and inadequacies. hitler directed a struggling germany to hate the jewish people. just as a drug pusher gives the potential addict the first “hits” free of charge, the leftist media got you addicted to the rush of adrenaline from pure hate of president trump….but trump is gone now.., you need a new drug!! you must have that hate rush!!! well, here i am. hate and insult me. i am 100% combat disabled as a result of answering my countries call. i am proud of it! when i move down the sidewalk i know i earned the right to do so. i defended the right for you to disagree with me. i don’t hate and rant and rave about what “worthless human garbage” you are for having a different view than i do. i’ve had a belly full of hate. i only hope some day soon you rid yourself of that media induced hateful “rot” growing inside of you and realize that it is okay to disagree. everyone has a right to believe what they wish. mark says march 23, 2021 at 11:13 am the bottom line is democratic socialism turns to communism and always fails. founded on marxism ideas. conservative ideas are based on america’s founders and christian faith with god. it has build a america and many other countries. and you’re worried about grammar ?? hahaha says april 1, 2021 at 1:49 pm wow! so many words, with no truth. good job. joe says april 6, 2021 at 8:22 pm a few scandinavian countries haven’t turned communist yet. also, if you care, democracies are almost always taken by over/replaced by authoritarian governments that turn into dictatorships. that has been the fate of most democracies throughout history. we are in this transition currently. interesting fact: most authoritarian regimes are not successful their first attempt but they eventually win out most of the time. anita rhoney says april 15, 2021 at 10:09 pm excellent! keep commenting! we are the united (?) states of america, or used to be, and we still have the power because we pay the bills. we just have to take charge of our power and use it. the left will spend us into poverty, as they usually try to do, due to their lack of business sense. conservatives know how the economy works. you have to pay for what you have and do! so the left and right had better wake up or the purse could end up empty!!! trina says april 16, 2021 at 5:33 pm conservatism is based on america’s founders???? indians were here first. their land was stolen! christian faith with god??? the very essence of god is love!! read the bible! conservatism today is based on hatred for people of color. you love god whom you’ve never seen but hate your brother? one blood! shed for all of us!!!! deb says april 17, 2021 at 2:25 am the only socialism in this country are social programs such as schools libraries, police, programs for the poor and disabled. it’s funny how repubs call themselves pro life when they are anything but pro life. trump spent four years on twitter whining about his hurt feelings, showed no empathy for the people who died from covid or their families( i lost four family members, all young, he caused a riot at the capitol and he brought the racists out from under their rocks. i don’t care what party you represent. you don’t stand on stage at rallies as a president and destroy people’s lives because they did not vote for you. there are two parties in this country and if you can’t handle one of them russia is your friend. deb says april 17, 2021 at 3:04 am are you kidding me christian faith for god? have you even read the bible? nothing you conservatives are doing these days is anything that jesus or god would approve of. whining about wearing masks to protect others not caring that 560,000 people died from covid including four of my young family members. oh the re pubs of today like to say they’re christian but everything that they are doing to people who don’t fit their narrative is anything but christian like. you better get it right because right now what you just said was an absolute lie. republicans don’t own this country. nobody does. all i have seen from the ones in office now is hate. i don’t think a single republican went to any of the services for the capitol police who were killed by trump supporters. eyegore says may 24, 2021 at 11:36 pm yeah all those democratic socialist states in the eu have turned to communism. you tell ’em jethro! anonymous says march 25, 2021 at 8:07 am bigot anonymous says march 25, 2021 at 10:10 pm haha at least you use complete sentences. good job! hypocrite jt says march 25, 2021 at 10:12 pm hypocrite liam mcallister says march 26, 2021 at 9:31 pm how’s biden working out for you? the only thing you got right in your ridiculous response was “…the unwise practice of allowing the uneducated to choose the leader(s) of the free world (alert: that’s sarcasm!). biden has been a disaster! cam222 says april 19, 2021

5:27 pm what the hell are you babbling about! it is clear to anyone with a brain the right is afraid of education and chose a moron to be their great white leader because they are afraid that someone not like them might take their low wage job. bob hones says march 28, 2021 at 9:47 am with a senile president, i wonder who is calling the shots today. it definitely is not biden   he is very much a centrist. that’s a pity. anonymous says april 3, 2021 at 12:38 pm i agree david says april 5, 2021 at 5:22 pm the pot calls the kettle black over and over and over. and why without one legit reason are you censuring my comments by saying i think youve already said that? well i think your seeing it and not hearing it..stop censuring my comments please ”to this bias newspaper” who wont print what im saying.im not swearing why are you censuring me? doug cary says april 5, 2021 at 5:24 pm waiting for moderation by who,pelosi? deb says april 17, 2021 at 2:29 am biden is better then a narcissistic sociopath who spewed so much hate for for years, family members have disowned each other and racism is at an all time high. you want to country like that go somewhere else because those of us who spent four years sick to our stomach‘s will never allow another president like trump in the white house. trump is going to prison and i can’t wait. anonymous says may 20, 2022 at 5:59 am your that messed up in the head still? wow. can’t fix stupid. your such a brainwashed sheep. the left luv you morons for never thinking or researching anything for yourselves. pathetic. go get your free crack pipes kit… he fine 30 million for that bullshit for losers like you. to keep you dumb anonymous says may 2, 2021 at 3:29 pm biden is great to bad for the trump losers patriot. says september 4, 2022 at 4:13 pm lol biden is great that’s funny he can’t even complete a sentence he shakes hands of people who are not there he smells little girls hair .truthfully the democrats should all be charged with elderly abuse. i remember when a pack of ciggerttes were 50 cents. the milk man left milk eggs and bread at your door. our country has gone down the toilet since those days .all i have ever seen democrats do is fill there pockets with as much money as they can steel from the working class and they are still doing it and america lets them so sad for us chris says april 15, 2021 at 3:23 pm who the hell do you think you are ? albert einstein had poor grammar and spelling because of dyslexia. i guess you wouldn’t have given him an imaginary a+ either. i look at ideas, actions, motivations and courage in a person both written and physical. if you can’t see past spelling and or grammar then maybe the problem with humanity should start with retraining people who think like yourself. betty ryan says march 16, 2021 at 6:36 pm hello everyone. i wanted to tell you that i am happy to have found dr. todd . he made my dream come true. i’ve been in a relationship for 4 years but he never proposed to me. i really wanted to get married but he was afraid of commitment!. i ordered his spell and 12 days later he asked me out and propose to me. the wedding will be on june, i already invite dr. todd, of course? he is my best secret! i am the happiest woman in the world. do not hesitate to contact him, he is the best! manifestspellcast @ gmail. com joe hepperle says march 20, 2021 at 4:01 am wait… what? you cast a spell on dr. todd, and now he is going to marry you? well then, i suppose if dr. todd is going to marry you, you probably should invite him to the wedding. so he told you he would marry you in june? but he’s been tapping that well for four years already? poor you! i hate to be the one to inform you, but he knows a chant that counters spells like yours every time. his spell breaking chant goes like this: why buy the cow when the milk is free? he repeats this every day. when june arrives, i guarantee his chant will have broken your spell. don’t spend too much in wedding preparation   there will be no wedding. brooklyn says march 25, 2021 at 8:47 pm no thanks! sounds like voodoo witchcraft and a scumscamming witchery. anonymous says march 31, 2021 at 12:06 am

any better website for buying alongside best roof box guide! logan boeken says march 16, 2021 at 2:05 am i for one genuinely loved the manner in which you’ve depicted this topic in the post. i am a

24, 2021 at 10:43 pm you should hear what we say about you pathetic frightened people. you people are the reason this virus is lasting longer than it should coupled with the fact that the useless trump ignored the science and called it no more than a cold..you guys are so brainwashed you even quote him verbatim. like you have no thoughts of your own. who’s the sheep now? 562k thousand americans dead. now that is a fact. i don’t seem to remember those deaths from colds in the last 5o years. you know though? what we didn’t get? is the flu! because we were wearing masks lmaoooooooooo.. i pity you. tim says april 8, 2021 at 8:53 am so leslie, have you checked the total deaths in the us for 2020 and the years prior? go check it out then spew your ignorant talking points based on your tds. it’s easy to say covid 19 killed so many people when all other reasons for dying drop significantly. check out the facts then stop being a lemming blindly following any of the mainstream media. lou says june 15, 2021 at 2:39 pm lolol the pot calling the kettle. maybe an education would help? also, don’t marry your relatives. anonymous says february 25, 2022 at 10:28 am my god, look at excess deaths in the us you fucking imbecile. hope you already passed of covid. catalina williams says april 18, 2021 at 11:03 pm love it anonymous says march 31, 2021 at 12:09 am ignorant?? excuse me but lefty’s are the only ones in their right minds. and that is straight facts. and that’s all i’m gonna say about that anonymous says april 2, 2021 at 5:06 pm maybe you can convince your own ignorance… factcheckthis says april 8, 2021 at 3:22 am what a profound statement. i bet you were master debater back in your school days lol. i bet you were real proud of yourself for that one. anonymous says may 2, 2021 at 3:32 pm totally agree d a nelson says april 2, 2021 at 3:41 pm the left loves america more than any of the insurrectionist republicans. congrats to m l b guest says march 7, 2021 at 8:02 am god was very severely mentally retarded for creating these type of people to begin with. anonymous says march 26, 2021 at 3:47 am so it’s not original sin on mankind’s part ,it’s actually original mistake. on god part for. creating such a lousy inferior product a.k.a. humanity . yup that sounds like that scumbag. jehovah blaming the victim for his lack of creative skill. anonymous says march 27, 2021 at 9:11 am the lord made people with free will you make your own decisions don’t blame them on to other people anonymous says april 2, 2021 at 5:22 pm you are the definition of ignorance and you don’t mind showing it off…..hehehehe mw says april 11, 2021 at 8:22 am finally i know your in my age for a fact 🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯😍😍& know these oldies got diaper rash needed. catherine says march 29, 2021 at 10:20 am god is perfect… man has free choice and he chose to be the way he is!! a real america says march 6, 2021 at 11:24 am gerald j. boyum of rochester, minnesota is one of the many false patriots and belongs to the largest, dumbest group of americans that has ever existed. people like gerald are in fact the threat to america, and to the constitution, and they aren’t smart enough to realize it. attention gerald and people like gerald: you are being lied to by power hungry right wing liars. they tell you that worshipping them is patriotic. it isn’t. you are the exact opposite of patriots. you are traitors. ge says march 20, 2021 at 11:54 am you’re an idiot. can you walk up stairs without falling on your face 3 times? neither can your fearful leader. devon says april 5, 2021 at 7:37 pm ahhhh typical trumpy statement… belittling others is such a common go  to response for you all… you act like you have never fallen or tripped over something… the man is old. so every older person that trips or falls is an idiot… wow, you christians are on point with your views, claims and actions. hahaha 🤦‍♀️ anonymous says april 9, 2021 at 4:21 pm lmao!!!!!!!!!!!! winnie smith says april 14, 2021 at 6:14 pm that’s hilarious!! sad but true! the world is laughing at us! rundark says march 28, 2021 at 4:16 pm gaslight much? we already know that everything the lefties accuse everyone else of doing is being done by the lefties. so in fact it is you that “belongs to the largest, dumbest group of americans that ever existed” however i would not describe you as americans so much as you and your ilk are marxist commie scum. which would reflect your assertion of republicans being traitors right back on you. it is in fact you and your ilk that are being lied to by power hungry left wing liars. as democratic leaders openly break their oaths of office and behave like royalty treating the people like serfs instead of citizens. it is clearly evident to anyone with one eye, half a brain, and legally deaf that it is the democrats that would have us worship and bow down to them. not once has any republican assert that anyone should pray to anyone other than the almighty creator of all things. you sir and all your claims about who is who and what is what has been based on conjecture, feelings, and outright lies. you either support, engage, or in equal measure practice in full frontal hypocrisy. you are a know nothing know it all that swallows the blue pill and washes it down with the kool aid the asshats of the msm keep passing around. when everything you know is what you’ve been told, at best you know nothing, at worst you know lies. you then parrot those lies to other low information, lazy eyed, wannabe supplicants like yourself creating an army of useful idiots. maybe you haven’t noticed, but the democratic constituency has gotten dumber and dumber. why you might ask? because the intelligent ones like myself who don’t make excuses for what they see and hear caught onto the democrats grift a long time ago. i know the republicans aren’t perfect, in fact they are weak and ineffectual as i watch them point out those who break their oaths and do nothing about it. that is a crime of perjury, and on that level carries a four year prison sentence and the permanent barring of running for election to another office. sounds good to me! but at least they don’t try interfering with my life in overreaching policies that violate my natural born god given rights! real america? son, you haven’t a clue what that’s supposed to look like if you think what the dems are saying it is. besides, even if they did somehow get their way, they wouldn’t deliver on it anyway. haven’t any of you libtard’s figured it out yet? is it because of all the lies you spread around have become so common place for you, that you didn’t notice you slipped into bizzarro world? is it because you can only see and hear what they want you to, is what you really hear and see? whatever it might be, i look forward to your illogical, based in fantasy, not fact, unsubstantiated, no proof to be had, rant in response to me calling you out as the fraud, and liar that you most certainly are. have a nice day pumpkin, i hope you get good and rested up before you chime in with your bullshit! joe says april 6, 2021 at 8:41 pm you could have just said “not uh, you are”…basically that what you post boils down to. and if you think you have any idea that you know jack shit reread the end of you post. its called the human condition and none of us are immune. you live in your own narrative. truth doesn’t matter to the brain it just wants control/predictability. that means confirmation bias is the norm in human lives regardless of sex, race or political affiliation. anonymous says may 9, 2021 at 5:10 am you need to look at yourself and your “definitely not communist” ideas anonymous says april 9, 2021 at 4:56 pm well said! the democratic party has sunk to the lowest level of scum that they have ever been at. any person with a brain can see these media broadcasters are blatantly lying and putting their spin on everything. and the gullible dems believe it all. never cross checking or researching what they hear. that would take a little work on their part and they aren’t willing to do that. they want to sit around and live off stimulus checks. this country was built around god fearing principles and beliefs. we have to rid ourselves of this black plague called democrats. there is nothing wrong with having a two party system as long as neither is corrupt. the democrap party is run by very rich and power hungry people who will stop at nothing to rob this country of its wealth. corruption is the norm. that is why they hate trump so much. because he was draining the swap of all the blood sucking, scandalous, power hungry sell out politicians. and the dems knew that meant them,!! so they started and all out lie, slander and smear campaign against trump to save their own asses. they don’t give a shit about americans. only about themselves. nancy pelocy is only concerned with making another 100 million for her self off insider trading. she just bought a million dollars worth of tesla calls with over a year before expiration just before biden announces he is going to replace the entire federal motor pool with electric cars. if you or i would have traded on that insider information we would have the sec on or doorstep taking us to jail. but it is legal for congress men to trade on insider info. obama reversed the policy and then some where down the line it was reversed again. check it out for yourselves people dont believe me just because i said it. brandon says june 27, 2023 at 6:11 am nice tantrum, kletus. trump lost, and there’s literally nothing that you or your uneducated, unhinged buddies can do about it. cry some more, losers. 🙂 crys stephens says april 16, 2021 at 12:47 pm wow. i never thought i would see the “i know you are, but what am i?” tactic used in grown adult political conversations. where do we even go from here? deb says april 17, 2021 at 2:45 am are used to vote republican and then bush put us in a recession and many people i loved lost their jobs their homes because he was an idiot. now the republicans of today worship trump won even made a golden statue of him which was absolutely against one of the 10 commandments. the republicans of today are not true christians they are vile mean spirited don’t care about anyone but themselves and if you’re going to tell me marjorie taylor green is intelligent and is a good christian, i may hurl. i have not seen a a republican act christian like in over four years. the fact that they refused to wear masks to protect others prove that. they didn’t care that people died from covid they’re only concern was i have to wear a mask and i can’t go get a haircut. jesus won’t be welcoming any of the trump republicans into his kingdom. no politician is perfect but trump caused so much damage to this country with his hateful rants, i don’t ever see us healing, ever. you want more of that, take trump and find a deserted island and make him your king, i’m an independent and frankly i’m sick to death of most politicians. but the dems i know only want to help those who are less fortunate than them, i have not met one yet who is stupid or a socialist. they want balance and for this country to progress not go back to the dark ages when the constitution was first written. they also want clean air and water. how horrible of them to want their kids to grow up in a country that isn’t polluted and full of hate. i am thankful the younger people want clean air and water and this will be their country someday and i think they’re going to do a hell of a better job than the politicians we have in the white house now. deb says april 17, 2021 at 3:21 am that’s funny because all republicans are doing today are taking away the rights of everyone who doesn’t approve of trump. so sick and tired of hearing about your rights being trampled on they aren’t, you still have your guns in this nonsense about not having free speech are the only two things you care about. you do have free speech but you do know that there are consequences for that free speech if it harms others. now go educate yourself pray really hard to become a decent human because from what i see republicans today or as far from decent as hitler was. e=mc² says april 20, 2021 at 4:51 am fat chance, hosebag. i know what i heard and i do to so. really just get real with me. it’s that simple. simplicity is the best route here. i assure you. honestly you have two legs to stand on and now a good time. excalibur says march 30, 2021 at 10:48 am talk about too ignorant to get out of his own way, absolutely nothing you said there was based on any facts or logical reasoning. sometimes it’s best to just keep senseless and unintelligent thoughts to yourself a realist.... says april 1, 2021 at 6:48 pm rundark just said out loud what everyone with a functioning brain already thinks and knows but doesn’t say out loud. when you compare republicans to democrats and ask yourself which would be considered good and which would be considered evil, it is obvious that the democrats would be the side of evil……anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves and everyone around them. they kill babies for selfish reasons, and often say others are doing things that they are actually doing. hypocrite baby killers. it is hard to believe that these people that are somehow considered the same species as me can be so selfish and heartless, and then go around saying republicans are selfish and heartless. hypocrites….they say republicans are full of hate, but what they fail to add is why. society closed the psycho wards and we can’t lock up the crazy people anymore, so now all the crazies get to walk among us and spew nonsense. crazy people used to get locked up so normal people didn’t have to be subjected to anything they said or did, but now most crazy people get to run around freely, so i yet why there are so many democrats now……sad. idiocracy is real, but its not the people with republican beliefs that are making it a reality. it is the crazy liberal democrats…. mary jane says june 19, 2021 at 5:34 pm what the hell are you babbling about! it is clear to anyone with a brain the right is afraid of education and chose a moron to be their great white leader because they are afraid that someone not like them might take their low wage job. anonymous says march 5, 2021 at 7:39 pm almost like hearing the news, nothing but hate for each other on here. i guess we don’t have enough hate in the world already so let’s keep spreading more hate, i guess that’s all this world knows anymore. have a blessed weekend suki says march 27, 2021 at 10:51 pm yes these people blaming & shaming the other, poor grammar and all. that’s hypocrisy. cult 45 smedly says march 4, 2021 at 1:51 pm most of you are living in a fantasy world. we nearly lost our democracy to an authoritarian demagogue and his enablers and all you can do is name call perceived grievances at “leftists” and “socialists” based upon whatever false narratives you consume, this journal being one of them. mike says march 25, 2021 at 12:54 pm i totally agree, smedly., with everything you wrote. i note, too, that some of the comments here are written by the same commenter under different names. right wing extremists are taking advantage of the simple fact that fully half of our population possess below average intelligence and are the product of one of the worst education “systems” in the world. and they vote. and they’re armed. and they are firmly convinced that they are the true patriots, the defenders of a constitution they erroneous think they understand. many are certain they are doing the work of the christian god. our founding fathers, who were predominately deists and theists who set aside the supernatural for the benefit of a democratically run republican, were radically liberal in opposing the monarchy and the old world ways. i hope the trump supporters don’t kill too many before the last rwe can be somehow brought to the light or somehow neutralized in their power to damage america and the world. ps: if your not familiar with general smedley butler, you should read his tiny book, “war is a racket.” hahaha says april 1, 2021 at 1:52 pm 100% anonymous says april 13, 2021 at 8:52 am you are absolutely right…. and we have to make sure he doesn’t get another term as a wannabe king again. all of the kkk people were probably thrilled with trump; also, people who have lots of money, etc. ..and these people are the ones who are supposed to be christians? every trump voter i know really thinks he has the best interests of the nation at heart but they can’t tell me anything he has done for our nation. if anyone could tell me one great thing he has done for our once great before trump nation, i am open to any ideas of good things he has done for everyone, not only for rich or white american people. honestly, i feel like he just likes being the boss of everything. .. and he did much better as a gameshow host. facts > feelings says march 4, 2021 at 1:20 pm you’re all a bunch of dumbass sheep who were convinced to wear a mask for a cold virus that has a 99.8% survivability if you catch it lmfao stupid idiots like you people will let a new nazi regime come to power. because you’re too stupid to know any better. if you believe the tv tells the truth you need to stop whatever your doing and save the future by killing yourself. please for the sake of the future kill yourself you are as worthless as they come. bob says march 18, 2021 at 3:05 pm if brains were made of gas you wouldn’t have enough to drive a piss ants motorcycle halfway around a bb commenter says april 4, 2021 at 5:07 am this is beautiful. anonymous says march 19, 2021 at 3:11 pm what that guy said j3lly says march 20, 2021 at 2:27 pm lay off the qanon conspiracy theories. 2020 was the deadliest year in us history. it’s hilarious that you’re calling other people sheep and whatnot because some people listened to doctors and scientists, and acknowledged there was a global pandemic, while you listened to an idiot who ran the country for four years. why it’s so funny is because you don’t realize the irony of you saying something like that. you are the sheep, buddy. jerry says april 16, 2021 at 12:10 pm this is all i got for democrat’s like yourself.. you elected joe & the ho, so watch how fast we get screwed by dipshit joe… brandon says june 27, 2023 at 6:13 am that’s really the best you got? this is why you keep getting your ass kicked in elections and court cases. your brains are undeveloped and broken. you lost. trump lost. and there’s literally nothing you can or will do about it, little bitch. 🙂 cry for me. anonymous says march 23, 2021 at 6:14 am over 500,000 americans, republicans and democrats alike, have died from covid 19. it is a small percentage of the population, but it is still a lot of people. since it mostly kills only older people, younger people are not afraid of it, and want to continue their normal lifestyle of drinking, partying, etc. they are safe from death, but can spread it to old people who are not safe from death. is it really too much to ask that you wear a mask so you don’t spread the virus to the general population? miyenis lu says april 11, 2021 at 8:47 am tell that to the ones who still say we got 2 diaper rashes as president and they care about the old hags fake queen and crown & how her life is ruin because she can’t move on for fear of diaper rash as no one cares who the president no more on the web says march 23, 2021 at 11:45 am tell that to the 3 million people who died. funny how people don’t care that somewhere out there, people are losing their families and loved ones. i myself recently lost someone to covid 19, and death is nothing to laugh at. leslie woodbridge says march 24, 2021 at 10:15 pm who’s the sheep? you say if you believe that the tv tells the truth you need to stop what your doing and kill yourself? wow, so much empathy for your fellow americans. one thing though.. there are over a half a million americans dead from covid..this pandemic that the whole world is going thru. where do you get your info? not on tv surely..of course it’s where your got all this bullshit fed to you by fox and newsmax that tell you continual lies and you like that because it makes you feel better. you are the sheep following the trump serial liar machine and the gop. masks save lives, we wear them to protect ourselves but mostly for others. you can be carrying the virus before you even get any symptoms. i think you are frightened to death..and take it out on other people. because if you really wanted to know the truth it’s out there if you want to find it. you have no excuse except that you are a horrible person that doesn’t care about anybody but yourself. i know two people that are dead now and not old. one 23 the other 40. how this is possible for you to not see in the news on tv or papers the death toll this virus has taken 559 americans dead. that is a fact. go ahead don’t wear a mask infect others like your family and your kids..we shall see how fake you think it is then, when they die and you can’t go into the hospital see them because you would get infected. so basically they die alone. you are the reason this virus has lasted so long, except for the lying president who said it was like the flu. when one of your loved ones dies..talk to me then about anti maskers that are sheep. those sheep are protecting you. jerry says april 16, 2021 at 12:14 pm really, so trump is to blame for everything, right? fuck you bitch, i’d rather back a president that puts america first than a dipshit president that puts us last… you lady can go ahead and kill yourself and hopefully many more like you can do the same, liberalism is a disease that has no cure…. rundark says march 28, 2021 at 4:25 pm “if you believe the tv tells the truth you need to stop whatever your doing and save the future by killing yourself. please for the sake of the future kill yourself you are as worthless as they come.” great advice, but like all great advice, they never listen to it, lol (btw, change your to you’re cause it’s all these “not see’s” ever have as an argument, like it makes the point any less relevant right? have a great day patriot. hahaha says april 1, 2021 at 1:56 pm awww poor cultist, got lit up. next time keep to yourself idiocy. now go cry in your moms basement. maybe she’ll make you a sandwich? i also bet that you don’t understand the irony of the name you gave yourself. deb says april 17, 2021 at 2:56 am you are the idiot i lost four family members to this, my 10 year old nephew is still has side effects from a blood clot covid caused.. my family members died back in april of 2020. where i live people care about each other so they wore masks to protect others and guess what kids are back in school in september, my kids have been wearing masks since last april and have not caught so much as a cold. it boggles my mind how people like you can call other sheep for wearing a mask you became so obsessed with a president that you are now a bitter, hateful little soul. wearing a mask is a heck of a lot better than choking on a ventilator and having to say goodbye to your family on facetime. such compassion you trumper‘s have and don’t even tell me that you are a god fearing christian. do you whine because it’s a law to wear a seatbelt and put your kid in a car seat? or do you think people that follow those laws are sheep too? you won’t bode well in life. > feelings says march 4, 2021 at 1:18 pm you’re all a bunch of dumbass sheep who were convinced to wear a mask for a cold virus that has a 99.8% survivability if you catch it lmfao stupid idiots like you people will let a new nazi regime come to power. because you’re too stupid to know any better. leslie woodbridge says march 24, 2021 at 10:30 pm omg 99 percent like the cold?. over a half a million americans are dead from this virus/cold. how do you ignore that? we already had the nazi regime in office, that was trump who hid the danger of this virus from the public so he could get re elected. he doesn’t care about you or anyone. laugh away because you sound so pathetic and frightened that you just might be really really wrong here.if you wanted to know the truth, it’s all over you can see on line and in respected newspapers. if this virus is all a hoax, then why is the whole world going thru the same thing! do you have any idea how stupid that makes you sound?. why don’t you look at the cdc website or the world health organizations website..it shows all the virus stats all over the world. that is also why trump has approximately 37 cases of fraud, election fraud, voter fraud, trying to call the republican sec of state to find him some votes. hahahah he’s prosecuted for that too. oh yeah and an insurrection to overturn our government. that is called treason. wake the fuck up before someone you love gets this virus…bet we won’t hear from you then..it’s so sad to see so many people that are so weak that they believe whatever their told as long as it fits with your miserable existence. bob says april 10, 2021 at 9:51 am had the virus, not nearly as bad as bronchitis, sinusitis. couple weeks down, no taste buds, exhausted, but basically like a cold. many people passed that had underlying conditions. heart, lungs, kidney issues. trump is a hero for his response and having all companies, organizations work together. typically 5 7 years for vaccine done in 1 year. with anyone else in charge, we may not yet have a vaccine and millions of deaths yet to come. after 4 years of listening to a leftist media, the left believes what they have heard. message is, the left has been played by the media. media divided this country, not trump. trump 2024. anonymous says june 18, 2021 at 7:46 am feelings says, you really are right. then again, those people are naturally dumb altogether. leta mancare says march 3, 2021 at 5:12 pm all thanks to lord zakuza whose magnificent spell brought back my divorced husband within 48 hours. email him on lordzakuza7 @ gmail. com costumer not thekindthatedits... says february 23, 2021 at 8:08 pm a. i’m sane you notice biblical coincidence. either way letters and numbers are insanely exact for professional observers and i.you should have recorded some interesting audio. and video. imagine live lens truth > feelings says march 4, 2021 at 1:14 pm republican or democrat, if you follow either side you’ve been duped by the deep state / illuminati. trump was neither, but he wasn’t big enough nor had the political roots to actually dismantle their system of corruption. you dumbass sheep are all wearing a mask for a cold virus that you have a 99.8% of surviving if you catch it. you people are so god damn stupid and gullible you will gladly welcome the new nazi regime that is coming. history repeats itself and stupid people with no critical thinking abilities let it happen. thanks morons, please for the sake of the future kys joe says april 6, 2021 at 8:57 pm a serious question. why do people who post a statement like say yours “truth>feelings” in the name for the person creating the post almost always then make a post that is the opposite (i.e feelings<truth)? is it oversite? are you trying to frame how one should approaching the post? do really believe that what you post is not possibly ironic? i especially wonder because you stated "people with no critical thinking abilities" yet your whole post is filled with logical fallacies. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/list_of_fallacies] chance says september 26, 2022 at 3:29 pm the mortality rate for covid in industrialized nations is 1% (that’s one person per one hundred). in poor countries, it’s as high as 5 6% (one person in twenty). not good odds when you’re talking about your life. also, trump is a corrupt and probably psychopathic moron. he’s the last person you should want dismantling our government. wannano says february 19, 2021 at 2:53 pm iron curtain over america by mr beaty should be required reading in all schools.and read by all americans that love this country! but first and foremost the right understanding of civics and the constitution as written not as interpreted by communist judges… the above book can be read for free as a pdf as well. a short and concise to the point of how the true ends to a means of how our foreign policy has been ” directed and misguided towards a one world communist totatilatian dictatorship. as a young person i could not understand why politicians pointed fingers and when one group got in they really did not do much in terms of fixing our real problems, but rather weakened us as a nation even more. then the other guys get in and pick up where they former left off. it seems the warnings fell on deaf ears as infiltration in high places had already been deeply seeded. now both parties are complicit in our demise, and we the people are going willingly as we left off to be wise long ago. we are now going to see an unmantling of our freedoms, wealth, etc.. at such an alarming pace that most wont know what has happened until its too late. and dont expect the nations that we handed over to the commies to help. they will be under it as well, but they remember that traitors have no allegiances…. anonymous says march 4, 2021 at 6:54 am you should be writing a book. you pretty much nail it in this comment. you do realize the book is like 28 bucks and even tho it should be read by everyone, i, for one, can not afford it. i will visit my library. rundark says march 28, 2021 at 4:34 pm https://vuheartperpost1984.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/the iron curtain over america.pdf here you go my friend i hope this gets to you in time to save you $28. more money for ammo, keep yer powder dry. oh, i almost forgot, you can find just about anything that’s been published by entering in the title followed by pdf in your search engine. have a great day. mr. gene salem says march 7, 2021 at 10:18 am the democrats’ are hellbent to erase all american history and start on an even playing field for all at the expense of hard working americans by raising the taxation rates on the middle and upper class americans excluding themselves. they do not want you to have original thoughts but rather have you believe in all they tell you. they want to censor everything that they do not believe in or eliminate their opponents so their way is the only way! robert says march 11, 2021 at 2:37 pm i’m disabled because of no fault of my own.and now i don’t know how to use a phone because the terminalogy wasn’t taught to me in the 1970 80’s school system.after a bad brain injury i have an even harder time trying to figure out what others take for granted.now far be it for me to ask for help, but i’n my situation i can’t believe i am considered a quote “retard` by the former citizen trump people and he makes fun of disabilities.how can anyone but a person with no conscience or care deny further education for people like us.what part of we the people is in the constitution that was forgotten? help me and others, please. robert says march 11, 2021 at 2:44 pm i want to be like i was before being beaten and left with a brain injury, but it’s too late for that now.dont further gang violence with threatening we the people or political extortion if somebody doesn’t get their way.whats next civil war…? mike says march 25, 2021 at 12:58 pm good luck to you. you might have to move top get the best medical care. rest assured that there are still a majority of voters who are doing our best to help those who need better medical accommodations than they could possibly afford. anonymous says march 12, 2021 at 3:09 pm i think all true america loving people should get together and have him impeached and his sidekick,i’m pretty sure we can do that at this point just for letting criminals in to reek havoc on our country,this is our country it’s time to fight him legally,let’s do it! deb says april 17, 2021 at 3:17 am no this is not your country, it belongs to everyone who was born here or came here legally. you don’t get to decide who deserves to live here. impeach biden for white doing the job trump refused to do? trump is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. because he’s a selfish narcissistic sociopath. if you want a leader like that you can go to north korea or russia. oh and please don’t say you are a christian because you would be lying. i’m so tired of the republicans thinking that this is only their country and only their rules apply. you miss interpret the constitution on a daily basis just like your old leader did. nathan michael wagner says march 14, 2021 at 4:41 am in king james. read the last page. now we suffer together my brothers. a single man carrying a cross for an entire nation returned recently. voot.up. in god we trust regardless aparaushaya , nathan michael wagner ps’n qs’ i, as an american self leader, withdraw from the mistake of signing a united nations treaty. i’m with the lands who stayed true to them for history, and we hold the key for us! know the meaning of a race. money= cotton and linen. no other country grew a rose that held the foundation we grew from nothing that was once something but a void. existentially i am ready for world peace. fuck whoever went to pieces when it came from us sack cloth prophet (?) aka (s. o. s) stampoutsatan aka debra k. jerik or (debra it's okbto be a jerk to satanic influence) says march 16, 2021 at 2:45 am wow! the left is really fucked up. excuse my strong language, it is not meant vulgarly, nor as a disrespectful manner. it is a statement of the times. strong dissidence requires strong descriptions. i feel sympathy for those bound on the left, if their disillusions with life has caused them to burn out so thoroughly as to cause mass psychosis. the whole problem stems from the poor attention of those in authority to monitor psychological abuses arising from any cause. unfortunately there are those whose intelligence has not yet achieved the maturity to deal with the stress of proper analysation. and those of us who see the problem; yet have no power or development to intercede on their behalf; become victim to our own emotions and want to ‘give up’ on bypassing the restrictions, self prejudices and narcissistic behavior of those whom having been given authority, abuse that authority by taking advantage of the sleeping public. this sleeping public, unfortunately, carries the manpower and wisdom to get the job done yet have been lulled by the noise of dishonest advertising and opininion, corrupted on purpose. absolute truths truly exist. absolute evil is also present in our world. there is god and there is the ‘deceiver’. the one given the complete mind of the unending one. who is not a part of the holy trinity of god. therefore, possessing no goodness within him, no thing to redeem him. where the spirit should live, there is only darkness and no light. yóu are a man of ‘good’ thinking, pray for wisdom. we must all come together. in the name of jesus’ god’s only son. may his light become a beacon to all of us. amen. deb says april 17, 2021 at 3:27 am you just bashed people you don’t know and then dare to drag god into it. i hate to tell you this but jesus was a liberal. yes he hung out with prostitutes thieves alcoholics all kinds and what he did was show them a better way to live their lives and he did it with love and a promise of life everlasting. he did not spew the hate you just did in this post. the dems won’t be the ones going to hell. anonymous says march 17, 2021 at 11:22 pm agreed. iron curtain over america may be the finest manual for understanding the origins of the left wing devolution prevalent in 2021 usa. glenn "chesty" fuller grandson elam quirk census 1860 says february 16, 2021 at 3:47 pm quacks like a duck then

trump. and do not know him. and the rest of your statements just as ignorant. typical stupid democrat. rowanne says april 1, 2021 at 11:13 pm to me i hope these are actually coming to you now because you’re absolutely incorrect and i have just been through a bunch of my fan mail from 2018 and 19 so where am i catching this from now? i have a lot of fan mail and a lot of knowledge so if you want to jump on board do so but it won’t be from little boys viewing stupid ass shit deb says april 17, 2021 at 3:30 am what are you 12? trump knows he’s up the creek without a paddle and all the money that his followers are sending him, is going to pay his legal bills but he will serve time in prison for all the cheating the lying and the stealing he did from americans for over 50 years. tom c says

world is lying..its not trying to scare you it’s trying to inform you. but you are such a dumbass that you don’t want the facts. stay in your bubble and when someone you love or friend dies from the virus. crickets. 559k thousand americans dead. you have to be a real mental case to ignore these deaths. it’s the same all over the world. you have to wear seat belt right? why didn’t you protest

children! u.s.comstitution from our founding fathers inshrine this humanity ! greatest liberal document written in america. but now,we have a facist not a republican party. democrats are the only party supporting the constitution ! i don’t see communist or socialist party platforms or persons running on those platforms any where in the media! we see republicans insulting democrats spewing lies on right wing blogs ‘ promoting domestic terrorist on cities and the capital! anonymous says march 24, 2021 at 10:51 pm yep rundark says march 28, 2021 at 6:11 pm same with the other side, weak, ineffectual, grandstanding backstabbers that never get anything done. but hardly marxist, obviously you haven’t figured out the lefties game of accusing others of their crimes. if they say so n so said/did this or that, it is something they did/done, or plan on doing. anyone who disagrees with their false narrative gets attacked by the “wokerati” twitter mob and subsequently canceled. the dems instituted “critical race theory” to be taught in schools, a marxist anti american doctrine that teaches children to hate themselves for being white and to hate america for being racist. coca cola just produced a training video for employees, “how to be less white”. this is all starting to feel like white people are being scapegoated, can you remember the last time a group of people were scapegoated? remember what happened to them? are you okay with having a hand in another event like that taking place? are you aware of the human rights violations china is committing on the muslims that live there? resident bidens comment to that was, “different cultures have different ways” i’m not even scratching the surface of the news you are not aware of because you only like msm sources. you owe it to yourself and all americans to be well informed and outspoken questioning everything. instead you form salacious opinions based on a partisan sources committed to keep you quiet and afraid to dumb to do anything about their advancement of their evil agenda. smdh! rob says september 28, 2023 at 10:27 am seems clear to me that you (and obviously many others here) are the one who needs to seek out better sources of information and stop suckling at the teat of right wing propaganda and misinformation. just to start with, you don’t even know what critical race theory is, so you’re regurgitating racist garbage. not to mention that the dems are hardly leftist, let alone marxist. they’re mostly pathetically centrist, you won’t though. god help you. youshouldprobablysuckit says april 11, 2021 at 5:18 am yeah the people screaming good christian morals and love towards all couldn’t possibly be the ones in this very thread urging strangers to kill themselves because they voted against their perceived interests, because this is america, the greatest bastion of freedom ever seen, with communsm looming as the greatest threat to our lives….but anyone who thinks differently should be hung as a traitor, you exercise your american rights but it wasn’t for my guy s you should have those rights taken away per my sole judgment, some nobody that these lizard people wouldn’t pass on were i to be set ablaze. i don’t care for this bullshit “gun control” and “woke culture” either but that doesn’t mean i’m better than anyone else and im sure as hell not forcing my opinion on someone who could care fucking less. the hypocrisy is laughable on both sides but i dont understand how any self proclaimed christian can get behind a career con artist coined for “grab em by the pussy” and still claim this is the righteous following of jesus christ. personally i hope this all continues to the point that those with common sense come to see all forms of religion as the brainwashing, holier than thou, 10% for me, let’s see how much of these dumbasses money we can get them to just hand to us, cash grab it so obviously is. yea let’s just hang half the nation cuz they disagree with us, oh and anyone who doesn’t agree to let hondurans fuck your wife in a show of good faith, they’re a racist, this is getting ridiculous and its all of you. wake the fuck up and realize it’s not your fellow countrymen who pose the threat, its the people who keep telling you they are. it was no accident that the confederacy was comprised mostly of por whites that had never and would never own slaves and the union consisted mainly of prejudice conceited yankees involved solely for their own monetary interests. these old ass motherfuckers are gonna steal this whole shebang from right under you geniuses fucking feet while you decide which of your neighbors to murder. leslie woodbridge says march 24, 2021 at 10:50 pm too bad about those 37 criminal and civil suits he is facing. he’s a criminal and also has been all his life and all of you bought it hook line and sinker.. maybe you could visit him in prison? oh but they make you wear mask in there, just take it off inside no problem. except that the prisoners all have covid. lol sanitycheck451 says february 15, 2021 at 10:24 am stop all media. let’s go back 20 25 years. let people live their lives a little, read a little, talk to one another a little…enjoy what they have a little….the media has destroyed our lives completely   created more hatred, more extreme view points, more greed, a feeling of fight or die……. stop the media. anonymous says march 3, 2021 at 6:02 pm so said hitler as he built his ovens chuckie says march 28, 2021 at 5:14 pm that’s where the dems belong!! jason says march 4, 2021 at 4:05 am just quite watching and paying attention. people with brains don’t ever turn on garbage, they don’t get sucked in to lies and lost leftists negativity. never taking responsibility, excuses, blameful, manipulative, vindictiveness, embarrassing coward’s that have no pride or self dignity. factually speaking, they are lost souls. djdj says march 5, 2021 at 7:03 pm we should have stopped reagan from repealing the fairness doctrine gino fernandez says march 12, 2021 at 5:23 am this is a great comment and it is something dividing different points of view and making them believe they are mortal enemies. i’m what most would call ” the left” but it does not mean im gonna let china take our country and we are not out to ruin our country for having different thoughts on economic or government plans. only in the united states r we taught to believe socialist is a bad word or any other name for governing philosophy. we dont want our country driven into ruin by changing how we do stuff. the point is “the right” has had governing power going back a long time now and its the way we have been doing things that put us on the brink of ruin. we could blame each other and i could call the leader u support a madman that was looking for a dictatatorship (as that’s the only way he would be happy), but we shouldn’t hate each other and be angry with each other. why does that happen.??? i get most pissed off when i watch the news or read a paper or go browsing the net and see or read the bs i can’t believe or understand the right would be doing or why they would support thier points of view and i find myself getting so pissed off and fighting angry bcuz of the media and the way they drive a wedge between us. the wonder of our country is…we can believe what we want and we can try to do new things instead if continuing with “the rights” ways. i say that without anger, but say it bcuz is fact, so understand the left wants what’s best for our country too. we r brothers and sisters and don’t let news or media pump up the hate, bcuz if we didn’t read or see that crap we wouldn’t really ‘ve so stressed and wanting go destroy what’s different than we are.. sorry for any typos as i had a thought and wanted to get it out. we r all americans and we all have the same core beliefs once you cook out everything else and get to the basics. lana smiley says march 21, 2021 at 9:24 am we most certainly do not have the same core beliefs. light cannot fellowship with darkness… deb says april 17, 2021 at 3:33 am sorry dear but democrats go to church believe in god and are just as worthy of him as you claim you are. how sad that the republican party i used to admire is now a bunch of lying hateful and bitter people and they use god to gain voters and to spew their hate against the people that god created just because they don’t like who they are. wes turnbull says february 13, 2021 at 8:09 pm i stopped the parkinson’s medications due to severe side effects and started on natural treatments from vinehealth center (vhc) in california, the treatment has made a huge difference for me. my symptoms including tremors disappeared after the months long treatment! go to w w w. vinehealthcenter. c om. this treatment is amazing! @local_yokle says february 12, 2021 at 8:52 am at this point the impeachment trial should clarify any bout the most devout trumpians that they live in a bubble of lies. allen forbus says march 15, 2021 at 11:58 am your sooo funny you should be doing stand up you are hilarious, my stomach even hurts now, i’ve been lmfao… for the last 10mins. still can’t stop the bellowing! you’d be better as a comedian than doing comments no doubt! lol!!! the very honest truth says february 9, 2021 at 6:47 am hey you lefty morons out there, trump really did more for our country than most other presidents did over the years. and regan was very good as well. dick says february 11, 2021 at 10:46 pm maga. = my ass got arrested. sorry goof at least go finish your ged. of course it wont help you because you will still be wrong and just as stupid. at least try to sound like the 4th grade wasn’t your senior year. allen forbus says march 15, 2021 at 12:00 pm your sooo funny you should be doing stand up you are hilarious, my stomach even hurts now, i’ve been lmfao… for the last 10mins. still can’t stop the bellowing! you’d be better as a comedian than doing comments no doubt! lol!!! anonymous says march 18, 2021 at 6:11 am you sound like the 4th grade was your senior year. maybe try some punctuation (which you learn in the 2nd or 3rd grade btw) before you go around calling people stupid. anonymous says march 19, 2021 at 3:28 pm you literally did nothing but insult them, since when is that making a valid argument? that’s all the proof you need right there, every one: every single trump haters logic= you voted for; or support trump therefore you’re just stupid. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 and they’re all of a sudden better and smarter than you, somehow, just like that. lol please, it’s all the evidence of a joke. “my opinion is different, so you must be stupid” i guess it’s hard to see shit clearly with your head up your own ass. no pun intended. david farrell says march 26, 2021 at 10:14 am judging by his first press conference, biden might need his ged. paula folk says february 12, 2021 at 9:34 am i was going to completely agree with you, but i was just reading about his huuuge cuts in medicare and social security!!!! he and the world he lives in don’t have to worry about cost of medications, doctors hospital stays or even if they can get admitted!! many millions of this country’s seniors depend on these two programs he is so ignorantly cutting very deeply!! as ignorant as that is, i would rather see trump still in the white house!!!! doug r says april 4, 2021 at 1:11 pm i agree biden is putting the american people last like our vets ,our homeless putting our hard working americans out of jobs but letting illegal immigrants by the 1000’s putting our national security at risk and all the money the tax payer’s hard earned money to to pay for motels and education and more cages being built to house the migrants because we biden and the left wing tear us a part socialists don’t care about this once nation we lived in . joe biden is not capable or should i say he is just a puppet to the democrats who tell him what to do and say god help us all . it’s also funny under the biden administration w.h.o. said there was no evidence that china caused the corona virus there was plenty of evidence you forget the biden family was in bed with the chinese along with other high ranking members of the democratic party . we as americans only have one choice trump 2024 paul says february 12, 2021 at 4:08 pm you are an idiot anonymous says february 12, 2021 at 7:51 pm you are exactly right. tere is no way i would trust biden and harris or biden wife they are the epitome of adolph hitler, even look like him anonymous says march 10, 2021 at 12:58 am godamn right leslie herman says february 12, 2021 at 10:58 pm what did he do? just tell me, he didn’t do anything that helped me at all. reagan wasn’t bad. no other republican president in my lifetime was bad. trump. wow. bad. anyone but trump. shaun sites says march 3, 2021 at 8:39 pm so you want a career politician who is systematically tearing our country apart and has clearly sided with the chinese ccp as opposed to a man who actually had them at bay and damn near reunited north and south korea,somethjng noone else has ever been able to do?!? the man literally brought back jobs farmed overseas and did several other things that actually was for the benefit of the american people? granted i do not side with trump but i would rather have him than this communist puppet we currently have who is clearly trying to destroy whats left of the country.biden hasnt done shit except destroy peoples lives and line his pockets.must be some damn good drugs…. stanley kumiega says march 5, 2021 at 3:24 am fa q. let me know how ya feeling when gas prices r 5 bucks a gallon and your heating bill’s r astronomical. let me know how u feel then. wake up and smell the democrat coffee. it stinks! . says march 8, 2021 at 3:03 pm you are part of the problem….dumbass. rob dyer says march 12, 2021 at 6:11 pm rob says lesie, you’ve got your facts twisted trump not only built the economy to heights not seen in years (look at the stock market), but he protected our country from an influx of aliens that would tie down the economy. on top of all that, how about the military that obama tore to shreds? trump built that up, cleaning up the terrorist around the world. if you think trump was not the best, you are the worst. at the end of trump’s four years, no country dared to threaten us. leslie woodbridge says march 24, 2021 at 10:57 pm he inherited obama 10 year job growth plan..trump is the one that has dismantled our whole gov’t. this is useles the truth is coming out and trump will spend the rest of his miserable broke as life in prison for one of the 37 cases pending against him. funny how people never talk about that. he’s a con man and a russian asset. when this stuff comes out omg i can’t wait. sex trafiker with epstein, insurrection treason, fraud, voter fraud, rape case, ah geez the list is too long. paul lee says march 24, 2021 at 11:09 pm leslie herman, to start with, honestly president trump, was a great president; just only, who we needed! he was striving to do well, even under the, millions, of people in this free country. media and lies, are what the socialists want, bad things to happen!! so we want to keep holding onto our freedoms, and quite honestly, trump was a great president and a bit better even than the well loved president reagan. deb says april 17, 2021 at 3:35 am reagan started trickle down economics and it destroyed the middle class and just made the rich richer and trump is a narcissistic sociopath who his own family will tell you that themselves. the dumest preosn says may 21, 2021 at 9:15 pm hi what your name ovo anonymous says february 13, 2021 at 10:16 am yes, he did more to destroy our democracy than any other president or citizen. paul lee says march 24, 2021 at 11:23 pm president trump, only ever always, supports our democracy. we have now, a socialist dog, on our hands, and he’s only taking our freedoms away, our guns, suvs our nation!!! thanks to idiot, joe biden, the socialist dog!!! president trump, on the other hand, supported, our free country, our national, anti socialistic ways of living!!! socialism kills, please learn, just how scary, this will be, in 5 years! no freedoms, nor church, no singing, no,……………………………. anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😐 sorry, i like i know, right?! 🆘🚲😭🇺🇲 i will always, always, stand up, and pledge allegiance, to our flag!!!usa!!! thanks rick says february 13, 2021 at 6:16 pm it’s funny that most supporters of t bag have no education, but yet u call us morons. i also like guns and am a vetran, so try watching something besides newsmax. that the new trend i hear.. https://www.economist.com/graphic detail/2020/11/11/once again less educated whites spurned americas democratic nominee allen forbus says march 15, 2021 at 12:12 pm so you want me to watch cnn, ones who get the narrative of the day first thing every morning,!!! your the ones who play stupid games & win stupid prizes every time, i cannot wait to watch when all the (i hate donald trump sooo much it doesn’t matter if i destroy the nation) pig & followers go down!!! but that’s how pigosi really feels, you know she’s calling the shots right, “if you say no, your a idiot because if you say i’m mr knowitall clean man you know i’m right mr knowitall clean man!!!” so funny!!! & so see through!!! paul lee says march 24, 2021 at 11:38 pm allen forbus, you are so, very mislead!! the democrats, are the socialist pigs!! not president trump!!! trump, was a great president, who lowered taxes, kept our freedoms and was anti socialistic!!! the democrap, group, have turned everything to dung!!! so, there is no way to live, without honest, freedoms. the, democrats want, seniors killed, and support abortion. so, if that’s not, murder, there’s no such thing!! what would be, then?! so, please, think, and stand up, to me, say i will not support socialism?! your honest friends, will thank you,i support the usa, not socialistic, murders!!! like biden, the socialist dog!!! he’s rising all prices, and gasoline too, besides, taxes, before your name!! lame!!!😢😱🔥💩🥵💨☠️ moe says march 15, 2021 at 7:24 pm where do you get the facts you’ve been vomiting? most of the trump supporters i know are highly educated. they’re not out stealing, looting, and vandalizing to promote “peace and equality”. how educated were the looters, thieves, and vandals that destroyed cities all over the country and took over city blocks to have drug fueled criminal parties being patrolled by people with automatic weapons! how about we loot in your neighborhood? would that also promote equality? how about you take a beating for nothing more than trying to run your business so you can feed your family? that’s right, i forgot that stealing nike shoes and budweiser screams peace and equality! then the left stains mlk’s memory by comparing their criminal activity with his world changing peaceful protests. well, there was no peace or equality for the black owned businesses that were burned to the ground. nor was there peace or equality for those beaten in the name of leftist peace. two wrongs never make a right and neither does stereotyping. funny how tolerance fades when dealing with anyone outside the beliefs of the nazi and socialist left. paul lee says march 24, 2021 at 11:43 pm mr. moe, i want to say, thanks, for your reply! i appreciate the conservatives!!!!! i love president trump, also, for being a great president, before. i’ll always support our nation. it’s the best in the whole world!!!!! usa!!! rob says september 28, 2023 at 10:50 am the only world in which that happened was the one created by right wing propagandists and promoted by their media. stop watching that crap and educate yourself. try looking for confirmable facts instead of believing whatever those people tell you. lucy says february 13, 2021 at 7:47 pm yes he sure did cause a lot trouble…not mention what a lier he is….. anonymous says march 5, 2021 at 2:41 pm it is spelled liar, go back to grade school!!! patricia wolfe says february 14, 2021 at 12:07 pm god. bless you for standing up for our real president instead of the dictator in washington anonymous says february 14, 2021 at 1:45 pm please learn to grow up the words you’re saying just keeps coming right back at you i’m a democrat i’m not on those same shells with the rest of those people but i do have my own thoughts and feelings you don’t own this country you never will it is all of ours not just one person’s or not just one big idiot it has come in and destroyed so much and you crazy people are letting him get by with it. paul lee says march 24, 2021 at 11:50 pm well, to begin with, you’re saying if you’re a democrat, then you support scary, socialism!! socialism, is a rotten, murdering careless, and tax rising mafia!!! the conservatives are the total opposite!! they know better than to kill or to murder, and uthanize. the democrats support abortion!!! patrick p. cosgrove says may 11, 2021 at 9:39 pm dear paul, very rarely have i come across such uninformed, paranoid nonsense as you are spouting, and many other trumpies here with you. i grew up in a socialist country (england) and i have to tell you that food, roads, healthcare, libraries, museums, and politics in the major countries of europe are far superior for the public than they are over here. nobody has ever told the american people (or shown them either) precisely what a socialist country is like. it is exactly like america is today except certain things are better in europe. for example, there is a free bed awaiting any homeless person in britain. not true over here.!somehow in the american mind ‘socialism’ and communism are considered the same. i have visited many countries in my life. none of them was anything less than delightful. none of them were communist. i am a loyal, american patriot and i would never even think of living in a commie country! rob says september 28, 2023 at 10:58 am very few democrats here are socialists. you also don’t seem to even know what the word means. you may want to look it up. pretty much every economic system in the world at this point is a blend of capitalism and socialism, and there’s absolutely nothing about socialism which is inherently negative, let alone evil. anne says february 14, 2021 at 4:33 pm i so love it when people call others morons and then they can’t spell. it’s reagan, genius. shaun sites says march 3, 2021 at 8:43 pm you had to google it didnt you? and its ronald reagan,he has a first name. nonya says march 3, 2021 at 10:02 pm 👏🏼 anonymous says march 7, 2021 at 8:08 am you’re wrong, einstein. roark says march 22, 2021 at 10:59 pm we need to get serious about the communist subversion going on in our country. these rats have burrowed their way into every institution and subverted it from the inside. obamao and his marxist minions aka czars turned over every organization, embedding radical communists in important positions in order to fundamentally transform our country. we are now living in amerika   the poisoned nation that is the product of sixty’s communist radicals inculcated in mao and his red book. we are a naive nation that allowed communists like brennan, clapper and comey to completely weaponize our intelligence agencies against patriotic american citizens. people had no idea until president trump how bad the situation actually is. it is as if we were all sleepwalking and woke up as an oncoming train was heading our way, there is drastic action needed. tragically our republican representatives have mostly sold us out. there are laws on the books to deal with communist treason but the seditious fbi will not enforce the law. they are too busy entrapping patriotic americans with fake crimes. we are now living in pandemonium. deb says april 17, 2021 at 3:38 am quit drinking the kool aid trump lived 25 minutes from me almost my whole life. he has screwed contractors i’ve known out of money he wouldn’t let black families into his so called low income housing, five bankruptcies and he’s a narcissist and that’s exactly what putin and the leader of north korea are. rob dyer says march 12, 2021 at 6:12 pm rob says lesie, you’ve got your facts twisted trump not only built the economy to heights not seen in years (look at the stock market), but he protected our country from an influx of aliens that would tie down the economy. on top of all that, how about the military that obama tore to shreds? trump built that up, cleaning up the terrorist around the world. if you think trump was not the best, you are the worst. at the end of trump’s four years, no country dared to threaten us. paul lee says march 24, 2021 at 11:53 pm you’re right, i support our president trump!!! thank you, too. bravo! really, he was the very best, and very knowledgeable! anonymous says february 15, 2021 at 12:33 pm trump only takes care of trump. he does not give a damn about america. steve green says february 15, 2021 at 1:38 pm reagan wouldn’t make it out of a republican primary today. jeffrey epstein says february 15, 2021 at 4:43 pm i love how hypocritical “conservatives” like to go on and on about the hollywood elite, and yet their two most revered presidents (who they treat like gods) are members of it. rf. craig says february 15, 2021 at 4:54 pm the sooner l falsely i telligent liberals die. our country will prosper dems r totally crooked and devious. let the all. no exceptions fie from aids soon, as they have been boinking most all citozens for decades. name 1 positive things they stand for. johnny whitehead says february 15, 2021 at 6:25 pm “hey you lefty morons out there”… spoken like a true man of the people who harbors no hatred for anyone. making a great case for the gop. /s ron bigelow says february 16, 2021 at 8:38 am yes you are 100% correct! the dems leftist will never agree, they can’t deal with reality only lies anonymous says february 16, 2021 at 1:29 pm were you asleep or under a trans? trump did nothing but eat, play golf, and steal from the tax that you worked your ass off from. you morton. trump wanna be. shaun sites says march 3, 2021 at 8:46 pm haha……cute.what the actual fuck do you think biden is doing right now?!? except golf. that requires being cognizant for more than 5 minutes….. paul lee says march 25, 2021 at 12:01 am he didn’t, do such anything, like that!! he lowered, taxes, anyway!! he’s a conservative, not a socialist dog!!! biden/obama, would have!! not trump!! the democrats are all socialists!!!!! i promise, that socialism, will never work!!! think, about russia!! maybe, for example! they lived under socialism, years, ago!! never worked, now??!! john says february 16, 2021 at 3:43 pm yes he did. his corrupt fascist regime turned more americans into progressive freedom fighters than any other and cost the republicans the white house and both chambers of congress in one term. he really was a blessing in disguise. anonymous says february 17, 2021 at 10:42 pm trump really did a lot more.. killing americans certenly. almost half a million dead from covid is definitely an accomplishment! anonymous says february 18, 2021 at 4:46 am trump got screwed that was a rigged election heaven help us now that the democrats have the power nonya says march 3, 2021 at 10:04 pm heaven won’t help you and neither will frump. sandy carter says march 18, 2021 at 12:48 am yes president trump was screwed out of the election and now we have communists and traitors running our country. thomas wayne johnson says february 18, 2021 at 8:16 am why do we keep putting failures back in office in our government biden is the worse most corrupt ever, are we really that dum, they are making me a racist when i wasn’t with all this white privilege bull shit, i never ever looked at color, and our borders is really messed up with biden rob says september 28, 2023 at 11:31 am i’m certainly no lover of biden, but corruption? there’s zero proof of that. on the other hand, there’s really no end to drumpf’s corruption. all you have to do is look it up. the proof is in the facts going back decades, long before he was even president. if you compare the actual statistics on border crossings, whether illegal or for asylum, biden isn’t doing any worse than trump. probably better overall. you wouldn’t know that if you listen to the right wing media, though. asylum is also an internationally recognized human right, completely legitimate, and both of their records on observing that are an embarrassment to our record on human rights. anonymous says february 19, 2021 at 3:35 am left liberals want to control americans. cuomo refused to use the naval ship hospital trump created to care for the long term recovery of covid patients. it wasn’t used because cuomo hated trump. instead cuomo warehoused sick covid patients in ltc facilities that were homes to frail & elderly “well humans”. cuomo’s self centered ego genesized usa’s elderly and respected history as means to erase the historical past  he shamefully could not control or delete as “they” were reminders of usa’s wisdom of life learned experiences both success & failures  he did not want to acknowledge. elderly threatened his drunken desire and driving power crazed thirst. he erased them. by refusing the ltr ship that president trump set up as a covid 19 recovery quarantined solution & medical care infected patient placement. he will meet the innocent sacrificial nh victims  like lambs sent to a slaughterhouse  on his ego road to hell. god  forgive the little fake demi gods who in their cuomo ignorance are stupidly “shallow” and know not what they do. the eyes of the planet see very clearly the truth. left controlled usa media platforms are equally ignorant as they write and present their skewed one sided ego narrative to control americans. to control american thoughts, beliefs, feelings and values. like little hitlers, blue left media is not the gods they lust to become. they are control freaks pretending to care. they lie to the world & to themselves. they are short lived. they will die slow deaths feeling empty, guilty, ashamed, exploited as fools, confronted by the many holy power’s beyond the veil who have always been watching. rob says september 28, 2023 at 11:38 am cuomo certainly doesn’t stand in for most democratic leaders around the country. he was a tragic exception. antimask and antivax republicans cost many more lives in the long run, though. anonymous says february 19, 2021 at 10:22 am you are the moron because trump caused his people to de because of some stupid lie. smarter than the moron who made that comment. says february 19, 2021 at 2:14 pm you’re a moron. trump did very little positive move in america and did more to dimantle democract and move towards a dictatorship. pull your head out. mk says february 19, 2021 at 2:57 pm trump was the best president and the most respected inside the usa and in the rest of the world. the world respected america so much more than in the last decade. then the people failed to do anything about an obviously incredibly fraudulent election with astounding numbers of affidavits from respected lawyers from both parties , video evidence stacked upon video evidence stacked upon more, and deceased voters turning out like never before, the open government data available online shows more votes for biden than there were actual registered voters in existance, even more than the total census in many counties. on top of that there was the media which is just a propaganda device of the c_a which is complicit and your main problem. obama was an agent ag barr is an agent so many luciferian pedovores are in the congress and senate not only every democrat but some good chunk of the gop also. anyways have good day mk fromn canada ken says february 22, 2021 at 8:33 am your a moron and so is your rapist,racist daddy trump…. the idiot knows nothing! about politics!..kinda like your choice for president!…. you and the rest of the assholes that attacked the capital can get the hell out of the usa! your not welcome here! your not americans! d says march 12, 2021 at 1:16 pm ken, your comment is a great example of what is wrong with our country. you hate trump more than you love america,your family and possibly even god. i have never seen so much hate in a group of people in my life. over time you were taught to hate this much. with leaders like pelosi,schiff,schumer, and naddler what else could be expected of members of the democrat party. now that trump is gone let’s see what your party can accomplish or demolish. i really do hope things will get better. but what i have seen from biden so far is troubling. thousands of jobs lost with the stroke of his pen. open borders. nothing for americans so far. rob dyer says march 12, 2021 at 6:20 pm rob says lesie, you’ve got your facts twisted trump not only built the economy to heights not seen in years (look at the stock market), but he protected our country from an influx of aliens that would tie down the economy. on top of all that, how about the military that obama tore to shreds? trump built that up, cleaning up the terrorist around the world. if you think trump was not the best, you are the worst. at the end of trump’s four years, no country dared to threaten us. deb says april 17, 2021 at 3:41 am you believe all that because that’s what trump told you he did not get rid of the terrorists they’re still building their bombs and wreaking havoc in north korea is still making nuclear weapons when trump thought he had a really good friendship with them. your delusion about trump is a sickness please get help you need it. the last time this country did well was under bill clinton and guess what our deficit was zero. anonymous says february 22, 2021 at 5:07 pm you are so right my man look at this little bitch bitten on tv crying about covid 19 who even knows how serious it is you’re trying your trust in the government when you believe anything they say and they cannot be trusted. pelosi and schumer should be tried for treason and hung anonymous says april 22, 2021 at 1:40 pm only treason is you sheep who terrorized the halls of congress due to your lunatic, lying puppet master trump. you are a sick cult. anonymous says february 23, 2021 at 1:32 am sure, he did to this country more than all presidents put together. and still he is doing a lot to every decent people {  lefties and rightists  , specially, he has created a bunch of cretins, morons and lunatic monsters like you. rob dyer says march 12, 2021 at 6:22 pm rob says lesie, you’ve got your facts twisted trump not only built the economy to heights not seen in years (look at the stock market), but he protected our country from an influx of aliens that would tie down the economy. on top of all that, how about the military that obama tore to shreds? trump built that up, cleaning up the terrorist around the world. if you think trump was not the best, you are the worst. at the end of trump’s four years, no country dared to threaten us. anonymous says february 23, 2021 at 1:50 am i love america, but i hate trump. my reasons? because he created monsters like you. or maybe because you love him, his lies, his hatred, and lack of respect for anything honest, decent and human. costumer not thekindthatedits... says february 23, 2021 at 8:02 pm a. i’m sane you notice biblical coincidence. either way letters and numbers are insanely exact for professional observers and i.you should have recorded some interesting audio. and video. imagine live lens paula mccreery says february 25, 2021 at 8:45 am donald trump smashed hillary because of her marriage to bill clinton i lived in arkkansas and hillary through the years had guts moxey and she married badly men. dont wear signs donald trump bought his way into the whitehouse he was and is the scariest person ive ever seen a true sochiopath. a wife beater he harted blacks gays women poor people clearly and thank god he did not have the nuclear codes i met bill clinton twice in little riock with hillary she was accused wrongly the world owes her an apology and mr clinton was morally indescent but with hillary in that office she is the one whi tried to do her job for the american people i will never believe she did or would ever d0 what the public accused her of bill clinton was also wrongly impeached he was morally a bad guy but his presidency showed he tried to help the people and do the job he was given. onama got the presidency because he was black. trump bought the presidency. clinton did win the vote of the people. but in the last yesrd mr trump was the scariest most mentally ill president ive ever seen. thank god he is gone. the people survived him. i would stand in front of any of them and day what im saying hopefully bidens experience will tell the story but the republicans dont disappear. we really need god and jesus to be in power in the flesh not just spiritually.bless people and pray this horrible pandemic will be ended by our god paula mccreery fuck you says february 25, 2021 at 4:35 pm you need psychiatric evaluation you are a narcissistic uninformed ignorant fool trudy says april 10, 2021 at 9:48 am i agree donna marie kelley says february 25, 2021 at 5:23 pm these good for nothing democrats are robbing the american people blind. filling their crooked bank accounts with the moeny we worked years for. nancy pelosi you belong in hell for all the misery you have unloaded on us the american people. donald trump was and is the best president this country ever knew and he will be back. biden is the most evil person on earth. and he was screwing his wife jill while she was still married. another lie they tried to unload on us, you will all burn in hell tony dove says march 9, 2021 at 9:16 pm hi donna marie kelley, that is one of the most well written letters i’ve ever seen composed by a second grader. i’m sure your parents must be very proud of you. i imagine if you keep up the good work and keep studying you could accomplish great things. you could be the first in your family to make it all the way through the fifth grade and land yourself a dream job. if you can dream it, you can do it. i see you as someone who might be capable of scraping gum off the bottom of theater seats or maybe even becoming a bathroom attendant in some old, run down, back woods gas station . reach for the stars sunshine. i apologize if i used words with too many syllables. i dumbed this down as much as i could. if you need help reading it perhaps you could find someone who is not part of your family and actually made it through a few more years of school than you and your kin. i wish you the best in fantasy land. tony ken says march 31, 2021 at 12:33 pm is this the best you could come up with for an argument ? something a typical little weenie would come up with. anonymous says april 18, 2021 at 5:55 pm just to be clear about your comment sighting “coming up” with arguments you chose to end on: “something a typical little weenie would come up with.” do you see how in two of two sentences your argument collapses on itself? sandy carter says march 18, 2021 at 12:56 am yes president trump was screwed out of the election and now we have communists and traitors running our country. franklin powell says june 9, 2021 at 5:08 pm wow and trump was screwing around on all 3 of his wives. double standard? yep. fu says february 26, 2021 at 9:30 am hey right snowflake, get a backbone and an upper lip you whnny little cowards. gaines crumpton says march 3, 2021 at 10:41 am trump, still the best president ever i agree says april 6, 2021 at 5:07 pm you nailed it. anonymous says march 12, 2021 at 6:49 pm go back to school learn how to spell learn the meaning of projection you’ll live better bubba says march 13, 2021 at 12:15 am in trump’s final year, the fed printed 35% of all dollars ever created. this created an insanely bubbled stock and real estate market,while the fed has corrupted the bond market. trump has taken us to the edge of economic calamity, yet we’ve got morons who believe the man has accomplished something. trump has overseen the largest transfer of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy in all of history, and relies on the stupid people to think he’s good for them. anonymous says march 27, 2021 at 3:02 pm false and really false … in fact it couldn’t be any more the other way around. rob says september 28, 2023 at 12:16 pm y’know, you might wanna try actually looking things up before you ut your foot in your mouth and make a fool of yourself. it’s really easy. anonymous says march 18, 2021 at 9:34 am he did not do anything for this country…… a concerned american says february 6, 2021 at 4:11 am you know what’s funny, everyone on the left that’s commenting is angry because they think journalist is wrong when in fact they are actually proving him right. all that blind hate, they hate this man because they think he’s racist and sexist and america and poor people even though he’s never shown or said any of those things he’s only shown his hate for the system. but it is truly blind date that the left as because you look at it from the outside all of these comments filled with hate and racism someone they claim to be that. why do you not own up to it look in the mirror and realize you are the racist ones you are the ones that hate america. and then you read the conservatives comments and they have nothing but love for everyone. just makes the left even more angry and shows their hate even more. lying to yourself stop acting like this person is a bad person when y’all are saying these hateful racist comments. what is wrong with you people. open your eyes look what y’all are saying. be part of the solution and not the problem a confused american says february 13, 2021 at 2:24 pm why are you calling the left racist, when everywhere you look there is some racist conservative online willing to spout bullcrap with no royal flush? susan staley says april 4, 2021 at 5:50 pm be confused no more, this is not a war between the left and the right, it’s a war for america. the left is owned by china, they are here as the ccp. seems like most would get it my now. i myself have never seen a president strong enough to finally get to the truth. be patient and as americans go on, let’s go together. as one. china wants the world there way. be grateful, and respect president trump, love him he’s a fellow american who has followed politics for many years. china was coming for his family also that’s why he ran. for once leftist americans, see through your eyes, not by your party. democrats stopped long ago working in behalf of the working americans. it is now the republicans that are fighting so hard for your rights and your jobs. rick says february 13, 2021 at 6:23 pm i’ve never cheated on my wife, ripped anyone off, or traded any of my morals or ethics just to be ahead.. i also didn’t storm our capital. the fact is ur the one with the hate when u turn a blind eye to it just to reduce taxes, or whatever ur hidden idea of law should be. if it was a person i voted for that acted in this manner then belive me i would vote the opposite side. that’s the true difference from the elephant and a donky. making excuses is ur parties line. i’ve never been one to be upset, but it bothers me when someone pretends to be patriotic. anonymous says february 14, 2021 at 4:33 pm trump paid for a full page ad in the nyt to promote the death penalty against innocent black teens. he was sued for refusing to rent to black couples and lost. “and then you read the conservatives comments and they have nothing but love for everyone. ” you’re just trolling. tons of comments from apparent conservatives on this page that aren’t very nice to say the least. i won’t even begin to discuss qanon and its followers who have embedded themselves in the gop. anonymous says march 13, 2021 at 4:15 am well put. mervin says february 15, 2021 at 2:18 pm trump loves american values namely freedom your point well said! socialism destroys freedom and will remove our rights to choose how we want to educate our kids or choose healthcare joey ciotti says february 18, 2021 at 1:05 am you deluded piece of canine excrement. trump did nothing nothing. the left will dance on regains grave. the gop has 20 yrs left. maybe anonymous says february 18, 2021 at 4:47 am the leftist liberal democrat pigs are of the devil they are run by the devil anonymous says april 22, 2021 at 1:37 pm there is no such thing as “the devil” you child. steve says february 18, 2021 at 10:03 am well said,….pray that these insane left wing radicals and the corrupt main stream media outlets that are supporting their agenda are exposed for what they are,…. if not it will be the end of the country as we know it…. they’re deliberately dragging out the pandemic so they can commit voter fraud again at the midterms,… something has to be done, jan 6 is just the beginning steve says february 18, 2021 at 10:15 am allow me to clarify. when i said jan 6 is just the beginning, it was not to imply that i condone violent protest. what i am saying is that blm and antifa participated in violence for 4 years and it was supported by the democrats and lied about by the main stream media, so after 4 years of being called racist and white supremacists solely on the fact that they’re conservatives who oppose the extreme left (even if it meant voting for trump) these people finally lost it and stormed the capitol,…..but taking over a city block for 3 months and killing a trump supporter is okay……the truth will prevail,… even if it means an actual civil war…the patriots of this country are not going to back down,… this has absolutely nothing to do with trump anymore anonymous says march 12, 2021 at 6:33 pm it was antifa that attacked the white house, not trump’s supporters. how can one say trump influenced only 2,000 out of the 100,000 that was the crowd listening to him? gee, trump certainly wouldn’t be very influential if that were the case. that is, 98,000 left while 2,000 raided? hardly can say influenced by trump. nonya says march 3, 2021 at 10:07 pm 👏🏼 thomas says february 19, 2021 at 2:00 pm the left left left hate hate hate blind blind blind angry angry angry they they they them them them racism racism racism bad bad bad you you you. if the former president was not racist, why did he pester president obama about his birth certificate? and after we were shown proof of the birth certificate, why did he further pester president obama for his college transcripts? unless, he pestered g. w. bush, clinton, & g. h. w. bush for theirs and maybe didn’t tell us? frank matter says february 19, 2021 at 4:00 pm ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! non so blind as those that won’t see! another case of the pot calling the kettle black. clean your own kitchen ,before spreading lies and conspiracy therories about mine! philip harding says february 25, 2021 at 11:45 pm first of all, don’t call us ‘y’all.’ and no, it’s not us on the left proving the writer correct  it’s the inability of those on the right to see justice, to preserve it, and to fight for it. the fight for justice is not a ‘utopian fantasy’ for some sort of fake equality. the fight is for truth. the break away from the british crown was due to anger at ‘taxation without representation.’ today we fight for ‘citizenship without representation and ‘prosecution without trial and without representation. furthermore, the kooks on the right deny climate change; that we should do anything about it. they are killing my grandchildren, the children of our earth. and they are so hypocritical when it comes to their religion. jesus would rail i tell you if he were here. the ‘conservatives’ today are not conservative. they want to destroy our institutions, our public services, our schools, and the american way of life. they hate democracy and embrace authoritarianism. they are a fascist fringe and must be stopped or we will not survive their nihilism. so am i angry? of course! you guys are out to murder us. all of us. and don’t you dare compare democratic socialism, a perfectly acceptable set of policies made within the framework of democracy within a bipartisan or multipartisan environment, with stalinism or maoism. that really makes us angry you better believe it. if you don’t democratic socialism, don’t use the interstates and don’t take any grant money for your infrastructure. live as we did in the middle ages…. mw says april 11, 2021 at 7:54 am your in senile for real do you know how many childrens they where going to

clap* aesop says february 5, 2021 at 11:33 pm the writer is either a liar, or they have zero clue how many of our citizens died. in simple terms they died from stupidity and utter fear pushed on them and constantly drilled into them to wear masks. then not to wear masks, then opps sorry, wear masks. maybe double up. stay away from each other. you all have kooties. secondly: the absolute censoring and dismissing that fact that both and ivermectin save lives. its been proven. and even if they only saved 1 in 20 wouldn’t you have wanted your grandmother or grandfather to have at least had the right to make that choice if it was the last choice they had? fact is, had bad orange man trump said he was against hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin you can bet you last dollar that fauci, the cdc, and who would be for it. neither americans nor trump killed anyone. the censors, cancel culture and trump haters did that. they will come a day when the worlds doctors wake up and discover hcq and/or ivermectin could have been used all along and that they allowed thousands of people to die that did not need to. and they will be pissed! count on it. aesop says february 5, 2021 at 11:36 pm i think i just responded to the wrong article. oops. kerry uhacz says february 16, 2021 at 2:41 am i agree with every word that you shared 100 percent. watching all of this unfold is having a huge effect on families. arguing for or against “cancel culture” make no mistake we are in the midst of modern day civil war. again the patriots may be out numbered but i’m betting on the god fearing patriots. restore god and follow your hearts to a stronger america. god bless america anonymous says february 21, 2021 at 10:14 pm it’s fine… it’s really all related, anyway 😉 dr says february 14, 2021 at 5:54 am agree and add those who killed our citizens the number one killer is china…..and add in the people who allowed the chinese comies into our government in the first place….the left bats in the

2021 at 4:29 pm k totally agree the left started all this with the mail in ballots with no ids required. everything always wants ids why not then???? because that’s how they stole the election & makes trump look bad when only stating the truth!!!! deb says april 17, 2021 at 3:44 am ballots have been mailed out for decades without issues. trump used them and he told the people in florida and georgia to use them. trump lost cross the bridge get over it you’ll live just like the rest of us had to for the past four years. l.l. says february 18, 2021 at 1:03 pm you never blamed china who caused it.

god in the holyghost name finish done anonymous says february 20, 2021 at 4:45 am my youngest son died on 12/07/2021 . he was only 35 years old and according to what his nurse told me, he was her strongest covid patient. he wnet to the hospital 2 times with a fever and cough. the first time he was given what he called “breakfast of champions” which was a medicinal cocktail. the doctor told him to go home and let it run its course. my son was back into the hospital two days later. he kept saying that “i can’t breathe”. he died 5 days after going to the hospital. he was never on a ventilator because this hospital, seminole hospital in texas had no ventilators. they were not properly equipped to handle my son or any other patient who would potentially need a ventilator.. he was on 15% oxygen for 99% of the 5 days he was in the hospital. the sad thing is that i lost my beautiful boy. i do not call covid a virus. i call it a biological weapon of mass destruction created by china to wreak genocide around the world. now we have a new administration who is financially and politically involved with this communist country,china. well to be very frank about this situation, it is just another cover up. i want to know who killed my son as well as millions of other innocent victims all over the world if it wasn’t china? edmund r.samph says february 22, 2021 at 5:30 am

heard her speak today in front of our capitol via fox news from my home in california, and i am here to say that america has a greene new deal in congress and she is a patriot beyond my most fervent dreams. god bless marjorie taylor greene, congress woman from georgia. speaking as a united states army combat veteran, i repeat, she is a true patriot, but look at how all of the far left, communist media including cnn, msnbc, and wikipedia portray her. not that she’s a blessed by god patriot sticking up for america, but only as a “conspiracy theorist.” joe biden is not just a theory by any stretch of the imagination. he is an outright communist working for communist china, and he is the leader of a domestic communist party hell bent on destroying president trump and all other american patriots like   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/marjorie_taylor_greene kat says february 12, 2021 at 9:33 am ditto. you are absolutely right. the censorship and well planned turning republicans into the “hated” group, similar to nazis germany is chilling. we need eyes open, prayer, right action and more prayer.. also please don’t split party or dems win. fix voting rules. 2+2=4, gravity is real, and the world is round, whether you believe it, or not. says february 4, 2021 at 8:14 pm so: folks that think democrats are evil, america hating, socialist pigdogs are dumber than cow patties. folks that think republicans are evil, white supremacist, no regulation is the best regulation, capitalist cashhounds are more stupid than a pile of rocks (or even a single rock). and, every single time   every time   i hear one try to demonize the other (instead of saying, “hey, we may disagree on the how, but we both want the best country for every single citizen   even the ones that voted for the other party,” it just reinforces this fact. anonymous says february 5, 2021 at 3:28 pm omg listen to them speak for themselves…they obviously hate america because they are constantly saying we are all racists and nazis anon says february 23, 2021 at 2:23 pm if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck… your “rallies” are filled with racists and fascists. literal nazis and kkk members show up in force. trump kept a copy of mein kampf close to him. so let’s just be honest with ourselves   you fell for the trump cult of personality, a literal reality tv star with no talent or intelligence whose daddy had to buy him everything, and the rest of us who don’t support trump (rebublicans and democrats alike) want what’s actually best for america. larry m weissman says february 5, 2021 at 3:41 pm trump is a yellow bellied bum who’s afraid to talk to anyone who talks back. i wish i could see him walking on the beach so i could see just how much yellow he’s carrying around. if his daddy was my daddy he’d spend his life sleeping on the sidewalk and eating out of a garbage can. bk x 6,  1b in ten year period, settles out 4 25m inre:trumptrump robert says february 14, 2021 at 11:43 pm yeah shows how much you know and how stupid you are you’ve been the best president for the american people he put america first making more jobs and making it to americans are going to outsources in other countries if you have any decency or even common knowledge and you turn on your tv and see what the democrats have been doing for the last year then you deserve to be in poverty after the biden administrations is done destroying america. look at all the lies and everything that they’ve done and i myself would believe they are the ones that started blm and the coronavirus cooked up in china

you can’t discern fact from fiction. tsk tsk ignorance abounds…….. no matter what i say , i could slap you in the face with a truth burger and you’d still deny deny deny. i’m not surprised tho, that is the way of the bolshevik style takeover. they are patient and spend many many years setting the stage , forming peoples opinion of what is “racist’ and “anti semitic”, etc, then when we come forth with irrefutable evidence of the truth , you silly sheep start casting insults , calling us racist , anti semitic, haters, etc ….. you people are truly beyond help. concerned citizen says february 24, 2021 at 11:02 pm what? rip says february 26, 2021 at 1:48 am your an idiot, don says february 6, 2021 at 1:55 am republicans are criminals in greater percentage than democrats just a fact like read factual information about trumps circle since becoming president just asan example anonymous says february 12, 2021 at 10:50 pm that’s the two tier justice system we have hillary should be locked up joe says february 17, 2021 at 11:17 pm tell that to steve scalise. i would agree with your post, but then we’d both be wrong. rip says february 26, 2021 at 1:50 am your also an uneducated idiot! anonymous says march 28, 2021 at 5:12 pm don, go fuck yourself you commie motherfucker! in ‘68, i would have whacked you in a heartbeat!! wesley says february 7, 2021 at 2:55 am rocks have much more intelligence than democrats. 🤔 anonymous says february 17, 2021 at 7:47 am trump was a lifelong republican!! look it up! he switched parties!! also friends with hilary!! julie larson says february 8, 2021 at 10:01 pm you forgot to add that liberal dems are childish and rude just like you ! james shackelford says february 9, 2021 at 8:06 am there is a huge difference between the two. i swore an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the united states, against all enemies. foreign and domestic. the federal government and its bureaucrats have become that enemy. when the constitution is trumped on and ignored completely to push a special interest, by both sides of the isle, it’s the duty of every american to rise up. and that is what is law. and now, under an ill legitimate administration(which was unconstitutionally forced upon us for thus very reason) we have citizens being prosecuted,targeted, and hunted as domestic terrorist for doing nothing more that being american and living up to the duties all of us share and all of us should be united in preserving, protecting, and defending. so called “lawmakers” have abandoned the contract and pass laws and amendments that are dangerously contrary to our constitution, despite the fact that article 6 paragraph 2 says that no law shall be. what you have called, and maybe believe is a simple difference of opinion is nothing less than one side relentlessly violating our constitution and the other side debating on whether they had good reason! this country is in the shape it is in today, on the verge of financial ruin, and the people are nothing but slaves to elitist political and bureaucratic power, because the people have allowed our constitution to be violated by the very politicians who swore an oath to uphold it. on both sides of the political isle. the evidence you ask? the labor and monetary efforts of the citizen continues to go through the roof while the politicians and government workers and bureaucrats keep getting more comfy, more powerful and unchecked. ask yourself if you believe that klinesmith was the only guilty person in the fbi? ask yourself how many were more guilty in the obama admin. how many violated oaths and laws in the trump admin. while trying to cover up the corruption of the previous admin. then ask yourself if it is fair and just that only one of them have been, or will be punished. klinesmith falsified a government document which lead to the violation of multiple people’s privacy and destroyed countless lives. was he the only one who knew? did he act alone? and most importantly, is the punishment suitable for the crime. 6 months probation for a crime that requires a gallow! make no mistake about it, we are living through the very tyranny that our founding fathers warned us about. and the reason it is happening is because we the people have yet to rise up and hold our government’s responsible for what has become a systematic violation of constitutional law. it won’t stop until the citizens wake up and stop funding it. until you decide to stop being slaves for the very government who enslaved you and currently has you laboring 50 hours a week so they can enjoy their royal lifestyle while you may have enough left out of your labor to take care of yourself and perhaps can lobby them to see if you qualify for “government help” to fill in the financial gaps anonymous says february 23, 2021 at 5:05 pm your right on! the left is a socialist communist party that never get a guilty charge even with mountains of evidence against the whole 8 years of dems & msm! not one has gone to prision! imagine if you had bleach bit 33,000 supeonadaed emails, you be in prision probably for life! mike s ray says february 9, 2021 at 12:28 pm hello? democrat leadership are lying when they say “we want the best country for every single citizen   even the ones that voted for the other party” the rank and file are too dumb or brainwashed to even understand what that phrase means mark says february 9, 2021 at 3:49 pm try to get help from any gov program these wholes think it’s out of their own pockets. i’ve been working close to 50 yrs trying for ss. they give me a app.cant get online or talk to real ppl. govt really sucks anonymous says february 10, 2021 at 7:52 am obviously your uneducated and ignorant. bet you feel real good about your annoying post with all the bullshit biden has already done. 💡🧠 what has he done for the people ever?! $600.00 on a cc you get charged interest on if you it lol awesome! otherwise please keep your head in the hole where you came from j says february 11, 2021 at 4:27 am you see this is where your lost. it the democratic penalty and beliefs that he is talking about the people. they are corrupt pigs and you should not get so defensive especially that its not you they are referring to. dut says february 13, 2021 at 8:29 am i agree all these imagrsnts are coming to. what they come from provierty america has lost because biden and his group in charge everything now china and thier allies shut down dealing with who they made deals with in america is can not feed its self so china take over america looses we may have bombs so if use them we looses again thier playing russian riulet can’t win eatherway now so nobody’s life matters leslie herman says february 12, 2021 at 11:01 pm the thing is the people who support trump are either not true republicans, come on now, nazis maybe, or career politicians only looking out for what they “think” are their best interests, not the people’s. get real. sam johnsomn says february 16, 2021 at 5:08 pm rights ,these guys are dumber than the word itself,so not bowing down to a crooked new yorker means you hate america,retrumpiacans are so naive ,that they will believe anything the con man tells them anonymous 2 says february 24, 2021 at 12:19 pm yes! thank you so much. i completely agree! and ironically, these replies only prove your point. jeb says february 4, 2021 at 11:02 am “great spirits always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.” ― albert einstein the american spirit, tempered by a recognition that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, has been the greatest light and brightest hope this world has ever seen. but light reveals dark things that do not want to be exposed. and those dark beings will fight with a ferocity and malevolence that cannot be negotiated with or met with half hearted measures. voter john says february 7, 2021 at 8:28 pm well said jeb our president exposed the swamp and they’re fighting back tooth and nail. they stole and manipulated votes and censored any voice to the contrary. i’m sorry that’s treason. ben dover says february 9, 2021 at 4:10 pm albert einstein was a socialist lol ben dover says february 9, 2021 at 4:11 pm albert einstein was a socialist. dennis newland says february 12, 2021 at 8:58 pm well his socialism was far more for the people than the current bundle of money grabbers at the top of the current tree, this socialism is only the top of the slide into nazi ism that has impeachments where only one side provides evidence all else are told to shut up so shiff can hold the floor to his own desires and those of his leash holder. kat says february 12, 2021 at 9:43 am well said. interesting to note similar plans in place by liberals/socialists in australia. been monitoring sky news australia, and the excessive quarantine restrictions. travel bans between areas, territories. reminds me of travel ban plans for florida. not just america revolution they are planning but appears of the world. steve sarkisian says february 3, 2021 at 4:33 am this is a sad point in history. there are people who openly believe in conspiracy theories and it’s becoming mainstream. there’s less and less regard for facts, evidence, and common sense. i blame social media, at least partially. facebook, twitter, instagram, etc, are just making things worse. their algorithms are written to keep people going down insane rabbit holes. so now there’s a huge echo chamber on the internet/ social media that allows irrational, angry, fearful people to feel validated in their crazy beliefs and feed off of each other. in the past, most of these people would keep their thoughts mainly to themselves because i think they knew, deep down, that their ideas sounded cuckoo for cocoa puffs. not anymore. we now have people in congress who are equally as delusional as the social media crowds. christine salmas says february 5, 2021 at 10:09 pm well written. exactly how i feel i fear for our country but will keep the faith that more people will see the light. it’s rare that i would even post a comment. i do not use any of the platforms. i too believe that has caused a lot of what is happening. thank you for your comments. james shackelford says february 9, 2021 at 8:30 am agreed. we have people in congress who are crazy. i don’t believe that there is a single, free thinking adult in this country who can reasonably say and believe that this presidential election was ligitamate. but, since the media calls folks conspiracy theorists and domestic terrorist for suggesting there was voter fraud, and uses its influence to attack those who would stand up and speak out about it, we can’t get an honest judge to touch the cases for fear of the media destroying them for not following the narrative. i have spent much of my life studying the united states constitution, colonial history, supreme court litigation and cases, and the genealogy of our contry and our constitution. i have met very few people who have the knowledge, information and understanding to seriously debate me on the subjects. i personally don’t believe that joe biden was legitimately or duely elected. all evidence leads me to believe that the 46th president of the united states sits in office because big government and bureaucracy used taxpayer dollars and influence over media giants and their control to threaten the careers and livelihood of those who would stand up to the corruption. they had courts and judges fearing for their lives and careers for even taking these cases. the ones who attempted to do right were few and outspent and out manouverd by an bottomless public purse and career bureaucrats. this is voice to text and i don’t have time to proofread so forgive the poor grammer. anonymous says february 11, 2021 at 3:06 am you honestly think that people are just sitting around making this shit up all these so called “conspiracy theories”. these things are a topic of discussion for a fucking reason. information about these topics of discussion have been leaked out at some point, only the people to find out about it are either bought out and are now in someone’s pocket or killed. why do you think all the social networking sites try so hard, and i mean really really fucking hard, to keep all this in the dark. what’s crazy is you people still think that the america that we have now was built and founded on people with love and care and compassion in their hearts?? who share the good fruits of the world with everybody?? please, wake the fuck up. it was built on corruption and greed which is why people of power are still aiming to take out the middle. the honest hard working middle class american is what the people of power don’t want because they still have a sense of what is true and just and right. those americans are the ones that will fights for what is actually right, but unfortunately they will lose because the rich are back stabbers with unlimited amounts of resources. who are hell bent on keeping their power by any means necessary, driven with selfish, greedy, fearful and inhumane thoughts, ideas, and motives. think if you were in a fucking mansion and knowing that if you didn’t make the certain move, you lose the cozy mansion and you get to move into a cardboard box? no more catered parties, no more valet parking. i wish i could have the chance of telling a rich person that all their money is going to be taken away, but in order to keep it, here’s this dirty sleazeball alternative that can take away the lives of some of your closest friends and family (just as an example) and when behind closed doors, let them tell you what their answer is. power changes people and those who have had the power for so long, will undoubtedly refuse to go back to anything less. rip says february 26, 2021 at 1:56 am well said, joe hepperle says march 20, 2021 at 5:20 am it is better to write about what you are thinking and feeling without stuffing in loads of profanity. you may be a victim of the liberal education regime. in your writing, you have freely used contractions to save writing time and energy. unabashedly, you then waste time and energy typing out “shit”, “fuck”, and “fucking”. of course, this is america and you can ‘free speech’ all the profanity you want. but when you do that, you are following the play book of the liberals in their campaign to dumb down all patriotic americans. before the liberals gained control of our schools, we would write about   creating (things) out of whole cloth, or   fabricating (something) ex nihilo. these descriptive phrases have now become the ubiquitous liberal sponsored trailer park phrase, “making shit up”. you write, “these things are a topic of discussion for a fucking reason.” brother, adding the profanity adds nothing to your sentence. no one pays more attention to what you’ve written because you stuffed in the word “fucking”. the sentence works without the profanity (e.g. “these things are a topic of discussion for a reason.”) you write, “. . .the social networking sites try so hard, and i mean really really fucking hard. . .”. why have you taken the simple english phrase, “try hard”, and cranked it up to eleven? before the liberals took control, there was no such heirarchy, or ‘levels’ of trying hard. trying hard is a ‘go, no go’ assessment. either you are trying hard, or you are not. period. i’m telling you brother: there are no such levels of “trying hard”. it is a liberal sponsored fallacy that one can be either;   trying hard, or   trying really hard, or   trying really really hard, or   trying really fucking hard, or   trying really really fucking hard. next, you wrote that we should, “. . .wake the fuck up.” i guarantee you brother, not many will be awakened to what you are sharing here by including the superfluous word “fuck”. the exclamation, “wake up!” carries more punching power than the liberal sponsored dumbed down phrase, “wake the fuck up”. you then ask us to, “think if you were in a fucking mansion. . .”. so, i started thinking about playboy bunnies, hugh hefner, and me   all in the playboy mansion   which is the only “fucking mansion” in existence (all the rest are just plain “mansions”). imagining myself in a ‘fucking mansion’ made it harder to concentrate on your main point. please brother, break free from your liberal education. the english language has many words with which to precisely and thoroughly explicate your thoughts without using superfluous vulgarity. anonymous says february 11, 2021 at 11:25 am how true anonymous says february 11, 2021 at 11:37 am you are right on to bad we all can’t stop the social media lies and deciite. they only show one side of the story. i thought you are innocent until proven guilty but i guess that is no longer true. riff raff says february 14, 2021 at 8:19 pm well i do agree on that. but here it is . we are all americans, but i could care less who you vote for. i’m not a damn politician.! find yourself a few friends, chill & watch the river flow or do something that makes your kids happy. it’s a waste to spend your life ranting about some shit on a web site. chill people.. whatever it takes friend find a bit of the decency in something you do like. find a friend you can b.s. with, maybe a lady you like to be around cause you both make each other feel good in some way. take the good with the bad and carry on. leave the politics to the suits and ties. they don’t care what we all say anyways.. be cool and live life! keith williams says february 24, 2021 at 4:49 pm well said steve. a voice of reason among a sea of fantasists. the ‘echo chamber’ syndrome effectively drowns out logical thinking, trouble is, they’re not even aware of it. thank goodness there are still plenty of americans who can see through the b.s. everything is published says february 1, 2021 at 10:43 am i love you all. really. and all my republican and democratic coworkers and church members who love each other and jesus and america. weird this spot we are in right now when many people believe that we are anything other than americans and god’s creatures. stranger still how fillmore county ended up at the top of the google search engine on what i can’t even remember. god bless you all. lawrence says february 5, 2021 at 10:44 pm there are people that use their biases to evaluate, and find reasons to suspend my account. the first two i was warned about, were black people that invented things they really didn’t get credited for.. you have an agent that is bias. i have not posted anything that was infringing on any other person. i have committed and expressed my opinion, but never have i insited violence toward anyone. i think you have a right wing, or white supremacist checking my post to discredit me without, proof. fact check again my post. if it’s bad, is because your quality control let something in you didn’t want. anonymous says february 19, 2021 at 10:20 am well, i think this is all bull trump caused them to die and that’s it lm writing here because i find this shit unbearable. nikto says february 1, 2021 at 4:00 am gerald j. boyum is a lying fool. he puts a despicable man up on a pedestal for false reasons. few americans in history have demonstrated as much hatred of america and love of himself as donald trump has done. supporting him is a pathology, not politics. b says february 5, 2021 at 10:28 am trump is an american, unlike sleepy joe, trump put american first, not mexico, not the mid east, i d gladly kiss his ass in public than watch slippery joe give away our country, total pis dennis newland says february 12, 2021 at 10:05 pm just read a story on my phone where biden is praised for playing tough (words) with the chinese leader where they’r saying trump was wishy washy and did nothing. i would suggest a satellite trip over the south china sea to see if whether those on most of the us ships and the fleets of other countries are just out for a day or going for the long term fishing championship . in chinese claimed waters i wonder who sent them their?? no it wasn’t. biden ,, want to try again? yes i;ve got it now it was pelosi ? ???????????????????? no. try again ok ummm could it be what;s his name . begins with a t mm mm trump. “ray ” “ray ray! the dem finally got it right. try not to believe the conspiracy hogwash next time, joe th dut says february 13, 2021 at 8:37 am in

trump saved that alone makes you blind if you can’t see right from left anonymous says february 8, 2021 at 12:04 pm trump still the american president . not that illegitimate person sitting in office or sleeping . whatever carol says february 8, 2021 at 8:39 pm very wise comment. thank you. i shared it with a very aggressive trump supporter. tawni says february 9, 2021 at 1:57 pm that is exactly correct. trump and the republicans that allowed him to kill at the capital are going down in history as treasonous monsters. robert says february 15, 2021 at 12:04 am yeah she was like you know turn on your tv get the hell off of cnn blm has killed more cops and people in over $8 billion in damage and no words or any mention was ever said for the joe biden and kamela harris explicitly express for people to donate to these people are you guys morons i’m a working tax paying american trump made it better for me and i had a little less taxes at the end of the year to pay i work my ass off for what i have why should other people be able to sit on the couch pop out kid after kid in call discrimination and racism for everything. get off the damn couch and go get a job is what they should do and for you saying what you said makes and shows how dumb you are. trump was the best president in history he cared about americans in america if you were turn on your real tv and see how in the democrats are acting right now and what they’re doing in the hopes of jumping through we’re maybe if you just had a brain. it might help if you turn off cnn you’re comparing a one day event and a couple people dying to a year of many people killed and $8 billion worth of damage you’re an idiot. and multiple police stations of they’ve tried to lock the police in and murder them get none of them are being charged with any serious charges one lady said all lives matter and got shot in the face for that that’s the group you support the group and the democrats have been covering up for the entire year there’s not one news channel altar almost that will stay or short anything with blm is john guess what dumb ass i live in a city where they tore it to hell. that’s good you can live in the chaotic america that they are making and that you defend. joe biden is an absolute pervert that smells little girls hair hits on them and has no brain at all and you think he actually won the election i feel bad for your mom she must be sorry for your stupidity anonymous says february 23, 2021 at 5:44 pm videos show trump supporter trying to stop an antifia member from smashing a window! crowds pointing towards antifia doing what they do , break law and order! the first person arressed was an antifia member & let go! why?the fbi , dems, msm chatter was that there would be violence in the streets if thjngs didn’t go right according to dnc! not one trump rally was violent, why would they do such a stupid thing if that would change the counting of ballots to trump’s triumph or addvantage! there is none except pelosi’s lack of protection! this was a planned set up on the capital! there were 2 police that committed suicide after! why who threatened them to do something so awful or were they just killed because they knew the truth and wouldn’t confirm to the left! think america! rip says february 26, 2021 at 2:01 am a very uneducated thing to say mike says february 10,

which the basis of what ur views on donald trump is derived from a socialist agenda that u so blatantly fell for.. good job on being the a typical left anonymous says february 11, 2021 at 11:32 am he is the only one who got things done that he promised and without him we would have lost millions of people and still would not have a vaccine and biden and his croanies would have left the border open so the virus would have been worse he is opening them gain during this pandemic how stupid is that we can’t even get the vaccine and he will give it to all of the immigrants instead of his own people betsy says february 23, 2021 at 2:47 am you are an absolute media brainwashed idiot. why do you think they call trump a a nationalist? because he loves america. you must not even know about the document signed in 1992. the un agenda 2021/2030 (on the united nations website). and discussed thoroughly by the world economic forum. they want to demolish the power and independence of all free nations, for communist world power. trump was fighting them to save america, cause he loves this country. the media is controlled by the egotistical communist nazis that want to control the world. keith williams says february 24, 2021 at 4:22 pm at the risk of sounding patronizing nikto, it’s nice to see someone thinking straight, the great uneducated of the u.s. attacked its own seat of government. their reason for doing so remains obscure since most of them were unable to string together a coherent sentence. they will always remain impervious to logic and linear thinking, preferring to exist in, what has rightly been described as, an echo chamber of quasi religious ignorance. to most of us in the u.k. and europe, it beggars belief that a science based drive against the pandemic has been hampered by conspiracy theorists hell bent on preventing the u.s. from ever freeing themselves of this threat to both their life and their economic recovery. thank goodness there are enough intelligent clear thinking americans ready to win the day. rip says february 26, 2021 at 2:08 am another uneducated idiot, where do you all come from’ some hole in the ground near the south pole.

of legal firearms ownership, most democrats will piss themselves at the revelation that there may be a new revolution and the blood will be on their hands. don says february 6, 2021 at 2:01 am the constitution is themost liberal document ever written and acted upon progressive in its make up and over 200 years of slowly moving towards universal voting rights for all americans not supremacy of white only republican nazi religious idiocy made up of cult extremists long live america and long live our striving for equality and justice which no democratic principles can survive without robert

being on the media but a bunch of white people gather at the capital in their terrorist there are two sides to every story. and yes the constitution was a good thing your party tried to stomp on it recently and basically stomp on every american that it stands for i’m glad you stand with the left i’m with the right where there’s a little common sense and decency and integrity and most of our party works the people that you support are people that are living on welfare and the government living off of my paycheck and because of something they will just screaming from the rooftops for the rest of existence it’s their card for freedom to do whatever they want we have no card because of our skin color and you guys of made it that way. there is no racism everybody should work for what they get nobody should be able to live for free forever if you get any common sense you would turn on your tv and see what your democratic party has been doing and how they let blm go all year killing people and cops. and doing billions of dollars worth of damage and one day with us doing some damage and not necessarily us. we’re the bad ones and no media coverage ever for blm but for us they won’t let it go. you’ve given in to the media bureaucracy sea of fake american politics and democratic party has totally taken over the entire news networks. trump trump stood for the people in his whole whole entire four years he did more than any other president ever has and had they let him be he could’ve done so much more and had they not cheated and stole the election he would still be doing more

does this say? lack of education makes critical thought nearly impossible. anonymous says february 11, 2021 at 10:19 pm why does the right have so many different derisive names for the left , or if not definitively derisive, why do they hijack otherwise innocuous labels to hurl as expletives i have not found the left to be as given to so much name calling look in the mirror and try it on deb says april 17, 2021 at 3:56 am tell me the last time there was a recession after a democrat lost to a republican? i can tell you never. how many trillions did trump add to the deficit when biden and obama left it was 600 billion. i am so done was arguing with the people who say that they are intelligent but believe a man like trump save this country get help. anonymous says may 20, 2022 at 6:05

rotten wing also hates america and progressives for only one reason and that is the good progressives help uplift the poor, under privileged, down trodden which are minorities mostly.. there are a lot of cons on the rotten wing who also need help but envy the help minorities get from progressives and so hate america & progressives in us. get it u rotten wingers of the con(servati) party, u stupidest punks and scumbags of on this earth with dog in the manger attitude. get our of here and go back to wherever u came from in europe, u sucking leaches sand worms of the soil. buck johnson says february 5, 2021 at 7:31 pm if only the rest of the country could modeled after the progressive haven of california. the world’s 5th largest economy. we have 12% of the nations population. and over 30% of the homeless. we have more people both as a percentage and actual number living below the poverty line. the nations biggest gap between rich and poor. a state retirement fund over $350 billion under water. the highest taxes yet the 43rd ranked schools in the country. the only growing demographic is undocumented. a true progressive paradise. dave says february 23, 2021 at 5:55 pm buck so true, california is 1.5 trillion in debt an growing. highest unemployment, highest homeless, highest taxes. people and corporations moving out. california is trying to pass a bill to tax business for 10 years after they leave the state. this is truly what socialist democrats. twolup says february 8, 2021 at 8:51 pm ughh that’s why blm right now protesting in dc! they’re mad at the dems for not giving more. biden just rolled back the 250 million trump say up for united negro fund… yep they sure are helping! what a twit! mike ray says february 9, 2021 at 12:34 pm wow! you are not too bright, huh? to believe that any conservatives would have come from a progressive cesspool like europe to the united states just confirms how delusional and uninformed the libtards are. mike says february 10, 2021 at 9:33 am the left act like they’re helping minorities, when actually they only want their vote. trump won most minority votes. it’s a fact jack. hector says january 27, 2021 at 2:31 am i don’t care if my feedback is public or not because i’m a honest person, 2 days ago my mother in law past away she was an innocent lady since this virus she never went out but one person who was take care her went to a party full of people didn’t fallow the rules about not been sick and got infested and of course did the same to my mother in law . my point is not funny that more 400 000 citizens lost their life’s in some cases because the virus but in many cases are because irresponsible and ignorant people are spreading the covid 19 because are against to wear a mask or keeping social distance or been in quarantine and it’s so ridiculous claims mentality supporting because the trauma, are they barbies ? i’m a bipolar depressed and it’s not easy for me read the stupid article from news paper this is not about politics is about empathy humanity, shame on that person i don’t believe is a journalist with that lack of intelligence, republican for sure , pro trump i don’t know is native american the really americans so don’t give me that shit about immigrants, the same way his ancestors stolen these lands and don’t fucking say the other nations are starving you can tell never had been in the social security office full from citizens claiming food stamps and if that idiot is continuing defending the loser is wasting his time because thanks god only cares to the white trash who when to the capitol hill under his order ,this mother fucker. who wrote that shit doesn’t even know what is socialism because my grandparents are from spain and two parties are in control one socialist and other popular worst is the communist putin or the buda north korea dictators to finish that thing can explain to me where is the american dream kaycee says february 5, 2021 at 11:01 pm did ya kiss your mother with that mouth? you are disgraceful. because you are a lefty no censor muzzles it. if you were a republican you would have been. go wash your mouth out. we never took handouts from social services. . noone helped us, but ourselves. the schools were free, what is the excuse for your inability to write decently? because you are emotionally disturbed you feel its okay? snap out of it! i am truly sorry for your loss. i mean that sincerely. also, i do not think biden is our messiah. say what you will about trump, he didn’t have to have 10,000 armed soldiers to protect him from the people on his inauguration. deb says april 17, 2021 at 4:01 am are you kidding i know plenty of republicans who take hand outs, they certainly didn’t send their stimulus checks back. you are living in a dream land if you think republicans don’t take handouts or that none of them are on welfare. this is got to be the dumbest thing i have ever heard in my life. rob says september 28, 2023 at 1:40 pm our schools are a social program. that’s socialism. you might want to look up the definition of the word. republicans are happy to benefit from socialist programs, yet they fear socialism, something they don’t even understand. daven h. says february 11, 2021 at 9:11 am we’re all going to hell anonymous says february 13, 2021 at 6:16 pm only true statement i’ve heard in four years. we are all screwed. amen! anonymous says january 27, 2021 at 11:58 pm completely ignorant .fumbing in america end says january 28, 2021 at 1:02 am if we don’t quit bickering . some other country will rise up as a super power and squash america.we have always been the leader of what democracy is all about.keep a vigilant eye on the real enemy in this . our leaders need direction and give them the support they need in this trying time. and if they show irresponsibly then get rid of them.be strong in god’s might an all else will fade away.god has always led america in truth and in justice again i say be vigilant. little children put away your toys before the enemy eats your little eagles……. gen says february 5, 2021 at 5:55 pm our congress has become a joke. aren’t they put there by the vote of the people & our tax dollars pays them their ridiculous salaries? then they work for “we the people” correct? then why are they fighting against what we want? most of them are career politicians who should have quit long ago. they have become greedy & power hungry to the point of risking our freedom. if “we the people” dont stop being keyboard warriors” & not doing anything then our children & grandchildren dont have anything to look forward to if we dont take our back our country. it’s time to unite for our future generations so they can have the same freedoms we had. if we dont fight together, we will lose everything together. don says february 6, 2021 at 2:03 am the constitution is themost liberal document ever written and acted upon progressive in its make up and over 200 years of slowly moving towards universal voting rights for all americans not supremacy of white only republican nazi religious idiocy made up of cult extremists long live america and long live our striving for equality and justice which no democratic principles can survive without dr says february 11, 2021 at 6:07 am they already are….its called china……fool….has biden in its pocket and the demobat party is raking in subversive money…..count the alll of a sudden rich demobats and and the wonder why all th ebig tech companies are sucking up to communism……let alone hollyweed…….. and dont forget hlf the talk show loonies at fox tera says january 30, 2021 at 4:59 pm so they are in a dreamland? god help us! anon says january 31, 2021 at 6:27 pm your spouse probably took it. randy says february 7, 2021 at 10:56 am its time for the sane and balanced americans to rise up with resistance to this now “dictatorship administration” along with these crazy, crazy lefty liberals!! the majority of the people did not vote for that “studdering monkey”= biden! izzy says february 3, 2021 at 1:10 am as we look around our country today i’m appalled at what i see. people don’t care whether they vote foe for evil or not. they can’t even see evil. the hatred just spews on out! in 2016 that brought in a president donald j. trump! so, from day one he started working for the american people! he always thanked the american people for putting their trust in him and that he would keep keep trying and get america great again. again, and again people were spewing out hatred against trump but, at the same time couldn’t name what trump was doing. there were not any of these children that were helping to ensure that american would be great again. they tore him down at every turn. they never knew president donald j. trump. they didn’t want to know him!! these democrats are liars and cheaters and don’t mint using the oval office as its sexual tool box instead of getting american work done, hillary was put on trial for doing bad things herself. she even laughed and said at her trial as she laughed she stated it was over anyway so what does it matter. talking about the men in benghazi and these died. but, what did it matter to her. she’s evil to the core. biden, was sitting in a dark basement for how long and someone i guess it was obama that got him out and started helping him plan for presidency. see, he’s showing the people, “i will get my third term in no matter what you you stupid americans have to say. you see obama things we are stupid and can’t grasp what is really going on. no, we aren’t stupid it’s just some are running around with blinders on ignoring what the right has been saying all along! but, no matter look at the orders that have been having an executive order in just 2 days the executive orders! this man biden, came crawling out of a basement, could barely get around much less talked and stuttering over words. supposedly having cognitive problems. is that like alzheimer’s? i mean if you had a spouse that was that bad sick, would you want them out making a idiot of themselves. hardly able to put sentences together. oh, wait could this all be one big game to throw the american people off with being so evil, they plan to kill as many american people over this pandemic which i’ve just now learned is actually a bacterial infection and could be on the mends in one day?? how could there be so much evilness in the world. well, we are watching it playing out in front of us right now! things are not going well. but, i hope there is someone with better smarts that is seeing what i’m seeing but, don’t know how to take it down and abruptly! or we are are going down the tubes quicker than i thought. i’ll stop at this but, do research and you know and learn there’s a lot of truth in what president trumps been saying all along. wake up, be prepared, stay awake! we are living in the end times that’s for sure!! anonymous says february 6, 2021 at 12:31 pm amen! c oddie says february 8, 2021 at 1:21 pm thank heavens for common sense. all others deserve what they get as they sit , dumb as rocks, being manipulated and watching garbage like the superbowl.. people totally unable to think for themselves.. this world needs an asteroid to hit it and all the evil in it. anonymous says february 10, 2021 at 1:01 am trump is the only president in 20 years who didn’t create an overseas war in his name. just saying. dr says february 10, 2021 at 5:02 pm i still have hope that there will be again an american majority with scruples enough to ban all left wing evil. trump is the pathway too salvation. and truth. dr says february 3, 2021 at 6:15 am the left is over stepping the constitution and as allan dershowitze says….they should be told to go pound sand…..allan was a devote willy clinton supporter he is not a white supremist…….he’s a constitutionalist….soooo to th eleft……go pound sand archie says february 9, 2021 at 4:13 pm same difference babe usa says february 3, 2021 at 10:45 pm didn’t read it all. check the bible out tells you. a people prosper when a righteous leader leades becase he or she cares for all. people suffer when a wicked leader leads; they care only about themselves. idious! they don’t take care of those who slave for them. i say they or insane and blind. ❤ less . ross says february 4, 2021 at 5:11 pm this article is pure fascist garbage freighttrainhits says april 13, 2021 at 1:01 pm the yankee “liberals” act way more like fascists than fascists ever did. anonymous says may 9, 2021 at 4:50 am this rebecca tobey says january 24, 2021 at 11:05 am reading several of these heated replies i’m just grateful for jesus christ, the ruler of all, king of kings and lord of lords we are living in revelations. those who believe in jesus will be “caught up” and all the devil worshippers will be shaking in their skills lying flat on the ground, in awe by what they see, as jesus comes through the clouds and every eye will see him and realize there really is a god! what a fool i’ve been.” and jesus will say, “i never knew you.” and cast you into eternal hell, where you will wail in agonizing misery. see ya! bob says january 27, 2021 at 11:27 am will the people who uphold a liar, a thief, a woman hater, someone who has been married 3 times and committed adultery on all 3 wives. robbed his own family’s charity in ntc, stood back and let over 4oo,000 die and never said a thing or did a thing to stop it, stole the trump university students money and had to pay it back, said he was dodging vd while the men and women in vietnam where dodging bullets, got out of the service because his daddy paid off a doctor to say trump had bone spurs, (he sure can move around on the golf course with those bone spurs, a president who said he would have no time for golf, but has spent over 300 days on the golf course, a man who is bff with the most blood thirsty, cruel and evil leaders of russia, china etc. has the morals of an alley cat by paying women for sex, married a porn star that posed as a lesbian and posed as a almost naked person in photos. made fun of a disabled person while his cruel, hate filled fans roared with laughter, took health care away from his great nephew who had ms because he was mad at the boy’s father, the list is endless, a man whose best friends are morally corrupt, rush, rudy, cory, hope, newt and many, many more. anyone who upholds evil is just as evil as the one who commits the evil. the bible says “all liars will have their place in hell”, so it seems trump is on the downward way, and i have a feeling anyone who thinks he is great are on the same path. yes i know “judge not, lest you be judged”, but god has already judged those people who commit evil and has found them evil. when jesus told the woman caught in adultery he told her “to go and sin no more” he meant for her to get her life straightened up, not to go back to her old way of life, trump never repented and even said he had never asked god to forgive him for anything, and no, without repentance there is no forgiveness. by the way did you ever wonder where the man was who committed adultery with the woman was, if she committed adultery, so did he. trump would have agreed with these man, let the man go but stone the woman to death. b says february 5, 2021 at 10:41 am . why boneheads always associate man’s personal life to business, very nieve, reason why we r stuck with biden, 47yr, strike out, perfect record, of nothing done, u people will very very sorry,when usa looks like venezuela, 20 dollar gas, no work, thats team biden mac says february 5, 2021 at 6:38 pm you sound like a “cast the first stone” kinda guy. you should also spend a few minutes outside your echo chamber…read something that sheds light into the positive side of djt   or go outside, take in some fresh air… life is good. it will still be good no matter which dictator we elect to run our lives. +pax angeresists says february 9, 2021 at 4:19 pm bob, you’re absolutely right, and i agree with everything you said, it’s all truth & facts!!! i truly believe that trump new what he was doing when it came to how he was going to talk about his opponents, in this case, the democrats with all the hate talk, and the whole “owning the libs” rhetoric. he did what he has always been the best at, lie, accuse & lie again! he purposely brought out the hate in people that were already angry due to years of right wing propaganda. it’s scary how some people look up to him, when most know he doesn’t care about any of his supporter. only their votes, and of course for them to show up to his rallies, because numbers are everything. speaking of numbers, 700 of his supporters died of covid, because they attended one of his rallies, within the last 2\3 weeks before the election, and he said nothing!! i really hope & prey the senate convicts him, so he can’t ever be in politics again. dr says february 10, 2021 at 5:06 pm are you talking about billy clinton?….or jfk ….or fdr…..or who??????? amber marie says january 27, 2021 at 8:46 pm i am pretty sure that jesus is supposed to be a very forgiving figure who died for our sins and would give a second chance to those who were non religious if such an event occured. people like you are why many shun christianity. no one wants to worship a god who would throw them away like trash if they were unable to grasp the concept of him, or have had too many traumatic events to believe that there’s anything worth living for or believing in. anonymous says february 7, 2021 at 6:57 am you should believe in something bigger than you because you are not god i’m sorry you are a lost soul john c paul says january 30, 2021 at 5:14 pm never was

there to screw the country up and put more money in there own pocket they don’t care about how or dany people you can see that when all the movie so called stars reacted and that piece of garbage hillary clinton reacted she was mad because she could not get to steal any more money from the tax payers now the americans got what they asked for anonymous says february 1, 2021 at 1:22 pm wrong

1, 2021 at 3:15 pm thank you. honestly is a gift. thank you again susan vertefeuille says february 1, 2021 at 7:32 pm stupid!!!! rain says february 2, 2021 at 5:11 pm i am going to assume that this was directed towards those who don’t like trump, who are satanist, and members of the lgbtq. feel free to correct me if i’m wrong. i understand that you believe in god and that is totally okay, you have a right to believe that. but you don’t have the right to tell others they are going to hell for being themselves. in my opinion, i don’t know what to believe, if god exists or not. my reasoning for this is because so many things in my life have gone wrong and it’s kinda depressing to think he’s responsible but sometimes if i’m really down i will talk to him just for comfort, so i don’t know. but i do know that if he existed you would be sent to hell because in the bible god says to love all your neighbors. thanks for reading p.s. the bible said love between a man and a boy was forbidden, meaning a pedophile but in the 1940’s it was changed to say, homosexual kimberly tanner says february 3, 2021 at 3:49 am rebecca dearthereis good and bad in us all,so you who love to judge others as if entitled to some type of haute over everyone else. i couldn’t help but notice how adamant you are about the evil going to hell and all the good christians going to heaven, but maybe you didn’t read the original post? are you sure you’re on the right forum? maybe you should go to http://www.praisejesus.com but i want you to take my challenge and see if that exact same post you shared here on this fucktards bashing of dems, who according to him are evil, responsible for millions of deaths over the past century, hate donald and america. wow is all i can say to the fairytale he is writing right here in saying that all dems are delusional, believing for a perfect fairytale world… who the fuck is writing that? the man who signed this name or his little girl because whoever wrote this for real might be concealing hatred for women who as far as i know are the real victims of fairytale delusions thanks mostly to good old walt disney and his people… don’t worry though, gerald. most of us figure out that the fairytale is a fantasy, a dream…. not a goal in life… although i have to admit i cannot imagine how incredibly deluded young donald must have been growing up to have become such a man, and his poor followers joined the cult and still don’t see that donald should’ve been kicked out of the oval office the moment he set foot in it. he’s a disgrace as a person… let’s hear again about how conservative republicans uphold christian values.. but do me a favor, and let’s just do a quick walk through of donal trump’ssteong christian values… start the day he publicly announced it’s okay to just reach up and grab their pussy when you’ve got money.. which is just about an admonishment of exchange of lkney for sex. that guy’s is a piece of shit. he doesn’t deserve to be a free man any more than u.s. citizens who’ve been jailed for like crimes…and he deserves nothing more to do with presidency other than the presidentcy everyone with an actual heartbeat wanted to forget they ever lived through. two reasons to see the end of 2020 as a great mark on the history timline. goodbye and goodbye!!! anonymous says february 3, 2021 at 6:21 pm &”’ ed dhbe yuh ehhwia in n i’m ou dedboyo says february 4, 2021 at 1:12 pm wow this is delusional mary says february 4, 2021 at 9:32 pm under marxism ( right out of hitlers handbook) you must take away christianity, have an oppressor to battle ( whites), and remove strong foundations and values of family. to make citizens …just like in communism….brainless sheep , indoctrination. god, created us as individuals….this goes against marxist communist group think. even hitler got rid of scholars, books, statues, brain washed the jews were taking their wealth away ( us now whites) and actually had the citizens believing germany’s was under attach ….to visa versa. blm are the brown shirts for the democrats. already they are following hitlers handbook…coming after half of america to suit their marxist communist agenda. we are at war with evil people in control of our government. democrats are coming after christians and many democrat members have ties to communist groups. these are facts. thea thruth says february 9, 2021 at 4:23 pm i sware to god the way that u drew that conclusion. last time i checked hitler got most of his ideas form america. buy the way that america systematically oppressed pocs. you will never be oppressed for being white i hate to ruin your pity party but your delusions are what makes others feel the need to go blind towards issues that effect a whole group of people. so get your head out of your ass because really it’s embarrassing that there are grown ass adults that have victim complexes about shit like this. kaycee says february 5, 2021 at 11:06 pm he’s late! just like a man. gregory

go down. they didn’t even talk about it for months, meanwhile those “evil godless commies” actually cared about their citizens and have prevented the need for mass graves. any country that denies

27, 2021 at 2:56 am people die from the flu every year. way more ppl died in 2017 from the flu so this so called pandemic isn’t anything unusual it has just been sensationalized to fool and distract and take advantage of americans. we have been lied too over and over and this election proves we have nothing but history to guide us. look at past death rates compared to this year. and u really are stupid if anyone believes biden actually won. i personally know if 1 person that voted for him and i meet people from all over every single day. we can’t lettjis happen. stop believing covid is something like the black plague. it isn’t. if most people show no symptoms it is less deadly than a cold. bill says february 9, 2021 at 4:24 pm send pics of u at the captitol to prove that ur loyal. me says february 14, 2021 at 11:54 am the cdc reported 61,000 people died worldwide of influenza in the 2017 flu season. in less than a year, america alone has lost 484,000 lives. anonymous says january 27, 2021 at 3:47 pm agree on the healthcare comment. however having been in other countries over the course of my life. america is way better off. anonymous says january 27, 2021 at 4:11 pm larry makes a good point. jen says january 28, 2021 at 3:16 am lol the democrat biden china virus? you are another victim of msm. linda says january 29, 2021 at 4:38 am thank you. i trusted god. hallelujah. i started migraines at 27 years. old. 15 years in honolulu. hawaii. the neurosurgeon suggested an mri. he finds 1 bleeding. blood vessel. bad. i have 3 weeksnto live. i prayed. you get up again 77 times not 7. i reread the bible. that night i woke up. i was not blind. not paralzed. i could not walk or stand up.bi did get final jeopardy. anonymous says january 29, 2021 at 6:48 pm such bs anonymous says january 30, 2021 at 2:13 pm nothing is free and very few things in life are fair. suck it up nancy! jeff says january 30, 2021 at 5:05 pm my health insurance bill is $243 a month. can i just send the bill to you or will jesus pick that up this month. in case you do not get it. before trump was voted in and now due to covid america is on the verge of bankruptcy. we can not afford to pay for universal healthcare. you probably think open boarders is a good thing as well. it is people like yourself that is destroying this country!!!! gregory galas says february 16, 2021 at 6:33 pm you idiot  i think you should get the terapy for common sense and then apply to presiident bidden or maybe obama will help. dv frane says january 31, 2021 at 2:56 pm america didn’t let 400,000 die! the estimate was 2 million would die therefore lifes were saved. if america is responsible the each country is also responsible. however it was china and the who protection of china that is responsible for each illness and death! you must have voted for biden on his lies he could magically stop a world pandemic virus. thomas says january 31, 2021 at 4:37 pm 100% agree! capitalism and consumerism are the true evils. these systems reward greed, dishonesty, and cold heartedness. i’m sorry, but i don’t see how that helps my fellow man. how can anyone sell humanities future health and prosperity for millions… or billions of dollars in the bank?!? i just don’t understand why the almighty $ has been raised above god, morals, and human decency. tell me… how important is money when the air you breath is slowly killing you? when the water you drink could give you cancer? when society breaks down (well… if… i pray it doesn’t break down anytime soon!) and money is worthless? or… more likely what’s occurring right now around you, when single parents with kid(s) are struggling to pay their rent or utilities? when you could easily help them? robert dyer says january 31, 2021 at 6:36 pm flu smu! the exaggeration of the flu is a democrat contrivance to bring the economy down and blame trump for it. it was never as bad has the contrivers contrived it. now, we have a contrived presidential smuck that will bring our country down. he’ll do everything to unwrap the package trump brought about to strengthen and expand on the country. biden was the vice president under obama back in 2012, and was identified as a lame brain. at that time, he was almost removed as vice president, and to our demise today, was not. this election today was so obviously contrived. as trump did a masterful job on the economy and the protection of the country, out comes the virus in the election year. do nothing biden is right there, miraculously on the top of the chart. he does nothing throughout the year to clarify what he stands for, although we should know, and he remains on the top of the totem poll. incredibly, the last day of the election, although trump is in the lead in the vote count the last day of voting, there were five states still not finalized, four favoring trump. the count was stopped at midnight, but the next morning biden has those four states favoring him, and leading trump by 7 million votes. contrivance? you bet your sweet (whatever) there was. we have a brainless head of the country that is going to tear this country apart! kim says february 1, 2021 at 6:28 am fbi and cia agents are lying and controlling the government and the american people. may they suffer a long painful death!!!! archterran says february 1, 2021 at 2:33 pm if money is meaningless then you should have no problem giving it to those that actually need it. o wait, you’re just talking out your ass. go figure when you run defense for commies. ryan birmingham says february 2, 2021 at 1:58 pm hey larry, you cant blame a virus, that came from china, on a single person! trump acted fast and put things in motion! the fact is, covid hasnt killed anyone  its underlying issues. listen, if i have asthma or lung issues and i come down with pneumonia and die, what would be cause of death? so, of you look at that example, covid and pneumonia are pretty comparable. covid has not been as deadly as they say; if this was true, there would be more deaths than the avg and we are under that number. the media and congressionally democrats politicized this virus to keep trump from getting elected. proof  watch how covid goes away now that biden is president and i’m sure he wont be giving a daily update either! kimberly tanner says february 3, 2021 at 4:00 am absolutely larry, well said. if i werent on my 3rd brandy i’d proofread my original reply yet again and post that, but honestly the ridiculousness of this election and all that transpired from beginng with grabbing pussy and ended with storming the capital,and not an enemies capital, nope trump’s cult of idiots stormed the capital of the country they owe patronage to. that psychotic child should’ve been impeached 3 times by my count. all is lot lost though, he definitely left a name for himself… juvenile minded should’ve never been president donald t.. i don’t even want to hear his name anymore… diy till play spades for a long time just to avoid hearing it. cheers though, vaccine udneray, check. end of 2020, check. goodbye donald, check! dr says february 3, 2021 at 6:22 am larry…..where did you read that from…..?????? its people lik eyou that are destroying this country becaus eof your inablity to know and understand when you are being used…..you will wake one morning in a country that no longer allows freedom of thought…..sad how ignorant a human being can be….and so ignorant it allows brain washing without recognizing it….you larry have been brain washed george says february 4, 2021 at 4:24 pm republicans are like a dirty q tip. they hate the united states of america and all the citizens in it who are not white. time to put them in the garbage where they belong. we the people will rise up and replace these dirty qtips with loyal americans who support their constitution. we will outvote you where ever you run. just like in georgia and arizonia. the new message is republicans equal kooks. don’t vote for kooks. put them in jail instead. paul. says february 9, 2021 at 6:12 pm blm take care of your own! 15% of our country responsible for 53% of our violent crime which is 6 times the national average now minus the good honest black people many that i know makes that 6 times a whole lot more no wonder the police are paranoid wake up america !!!!! anonymous says february 10, 2021 at 10:21 pm 💯❤️ garrett benwell ayotte says february 5, 2021 at 8:38 am from someone who a. has never actually experienced socialized medicine (waiting 4 years for a doctor, therefore every emergency room is plugged with 30 hour waits). b. hasn’t actually had any healthcare in the us. c. makes a claim that a government that continuously makes things less efficient, will magically fix the problem by taking money directly from you , then wasting half before it ever gets anywhere near helping anyone. which would you like? if your child was dying, now, what would you prefer? when you finally get to see the overworked doctor after the heart has failed, or cancer has spread and you get the news. they could have saved him in the states but it might have cost you some money. in fact i would venture to say, and it’s my experience personally as someone who was born in canada grew up there and lives in the states now, canadian healthcare has almost always been deemed inferior by anyone who’s actually worked and lived in both places, and had healthcare both places. there is a gap in coverage that needs to be filled in the states for the low middle class, no argument there. and bad legislation from both parties isn’t helping, but i urge you, if your on the fence, don’t fall for it. there’s nothing nice or warm and fuzzy about people dying of heart attacks in waiting rooms after waiting 13 hours dying on the floor. people die, it’s part of life. often deaths feel preventable, and maybe they are. if you want to talk about death horror stories, canada has tons. so bad in fact that paying cash for services was reintroduced. so let’s go through this, canada implements socialised medicine, to help those who can’t help themselves. the system becomes an overcrowded mess, where all classes of folks get to die together waiting for care (canada loves splitting people into classes, and not by money but by law, funny for a lefty society trying to remove classes). people become so desperate from care they are forced to sue the government in order to have the right to pay for care. sounds like an excellent system for 350 million people, if you have no idea what your on about. mac says february 5, 2021 at 6:41 pm it wasn’t a flu strain. and… with nearly 50% of those deaths coming from rest homes   you’d think a bit of honest reflection would be in order. perhaps it’s time to take a hard look at the policies in michigan and new york that led to thousands of deaths   easily preventable btw. sancho says january 20, 2021 at 9:45 pm if a guy wearing a shirt says 6mwe and another guy has auschwitz summer camp, you just might be on the wrong side of history mexican patriot says january 23, 2021 at 11:40 am you are on the wrong side when your party is in alliance with the ccp, members of your party employ and sleep with chinese operatives and the democrats president and his son are on the ccp payroll. when democrats call for censorship, re education camps, removing children from trump supporting parents and advocate violence and silencing opposing views this is not just the wrong side, this is the evil side, the side the democrats and leftist admire and aspire to. the democrats look to china, mao, castro, stalin, chavez, north korea for inspiration and guidance. pure evil! bwilson says january 26, 2021 at 5:33 pm so correct. the lefts ignorance is the enemy of truth. every american should thank god for our freedoms and i pray that we will do not turn into venezula..the far left don’t love america, just want to destroy our freedoms. marla maples says january 27, 2021 at 2:05 am woah dude you are wacked! seriously. yall really play the uneducated, communist, brainwashed cultmember well. a freak. wow. do you hear yourself. wtf? trump is the antichrist and you are his minions. anyone that supports trump and claims they are christian are only fooling themselves. he goes against everything god stands for. he lies, he cheats with porn stars, he covets joe biddens presidency. if you look back trump has claimed voter fraud since 2016.then he said the only way he would lose was if there was voter fraud..ah duh.. how do you think he knew that would happen? uh duh, he doesn’t care about you. didnt parden one of the capitol rioters. nor will he. oh, but he pardoned lil wayne. what is wrong with your weak brain. you will be an abused husband or a woman beater. you are narrow minded and lack after thought just like the mob that let mob rules take over. duh.. i think ill steal govt documents and photograph stuff. what did you think would happen. just shut up. i know donald trump. who am i. grow up wake up and get help. oh and find me 11, tbousand 38 something votes. anonymous says january 27, 2021 at 4:12 pm you see things the right way we are all in a world of trouble. how the courts and most of elected officials allowed dumbass joe biden not the true elected president in is a travesty and the end of free america! stay strong and pray for a miracle.. anonymous says january 28, 2021 at 12:24 pm well, i see that you believe entirely. on fantasy, no truth, no anything! you have no idea what your saying, i find it hard to forgive stupid. nora says january 30, 2021 at 12:17 pm you are so correct. very well said. democrat politicians are going down an evil path. linda d says january 30, 2021 at 3:22 pm you trumpsters are so gullible. trump’s daughter has done more business with china than any other politicians children. her line of clothing was made in china, and her cheesy line of home goods, too. she holds a dozen patents in her name in china. it’s a safe bet she paid a lot of bribes to the ccp to get access to cheap labor. you think that wrangling between trump and china was real? suckers! that was just trump’s unreality show. his next hotel will be in beijing. anonymous says january 30, 2021 at 3:42 pm bruh, democrats are not even close to communist. they are a center right party and if they were truly looking to the communist leaders as you say, they would start a revolution instead of just running for president and picking a guy who can’t speak. the reason people view democrats as socialists or even communists is because out of all the rightist parties in the united states, the democrats are the most leftist of all of them, even though they are still a center right party. mari broto says january 31, 2021 at 12:23 am i’m a christian and a proud democrat working in the front lines as a school administrator. what are you doing to make the world a better place? anyone can be a critic and lie. we will never have unity in this country without truth first! lisa says january 31, 2021 at 9:40 am exactly right! bidens actions so far are anti american, no debate or talk from mainstream media about the harm to american workers and our future. chris says january 31, 2021 at 3:57 pm totally right you get it anonymous says february 3, 2021 at 2:36 pm amen linda oliver says february 4, 2021 at 10:30 am i agree with everything you say because it is true. well said my friend! mary says february 4, 2021 at 9:41 pm so right….democrats are using russia as their enemy ….avoiding the fact that china is the greater threat and biden plans a alliance with china. he’s also avoided israel completely… obama tried a political ousting in israel with our tax payer money….where’s the shock?? democrats are the greatest threat to america…… they are coming after half of america . zhe says february 4, 2021 at 9:41 pm are you nuts? ccp? biden? ccp would love trump to be the potus for another 4 years, and maybe more, just as trump were turning allies away from the us, ccp is seizing the opportunity to play the leadership role around the world. trump can go golfing in hell kaycee says february 5, 2021 at 11:13 pm they aren’t even socialists. what socialist would raise the price of epipens and insulin? they are demons. rob says september 28, 2023 at 2:25 pm every single thing you said here is easy to disprove. try looking it up. of course you won’t, though. joe d. says january 24, 2021 at 12:17 pm people who hate trump cannot cite one single instance of why. they heard that you were supposed to hate him in the media because of such and such but cannot be specific. he has had actual results as president that were positive for the whole world and few who hate him have never even heard of his accomplishments because their media does not discuss them. “trump supporters” are not people who were lulled by personality, etc. they finally heard a candidate speak like they want someone to speak of the usa. trump supported his voters not the other way around and the sooner people quit trying to explain away the “anomaly’ of why people voted for him and understand that he gave a voice to their concerns, the sooner they might start understanding that he did do many good things. he did things that should not be disliked by liberals because they do not necessarily clash with the liberal platform. only blind hate and mass hysteria to dislike trump rules on the other side. trump was hated so much that democrats voted for a guy who has been around for decades not doing anything, never campaigned, and never stated a single platform specific just to vote against trump. and let’s assume the election was perfect and all the biden votes are real. that many biden voters and you would think i could find one who can say what he stands for i cannot. all i can see so far as he wants to do the opposite of trump thinking that will win approval. and he also thinks that by appointing the least qualified people to work with him as long as they fit into some minority or deviant sexual group that he is more “woke” that anyone else. when things start to fail and the economy starts to crap with stupid decisions coming out of the current white house that support everyone else in the world except u.s. citizens and workers, you will see what i mean. give it a year. you just do not know how good you had it. anonymous says january 26, 2021 at 4:17 pm yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!! constance mead says january 26, 2021 at 7:41 pm i don’t think i can expound on what i just read above. it is absolutely true. in my mind i doubt biden will even be in office by may. i think we know who is behind all this and who is giving the orders. this new presidency is acting like they have the right to just tell us what we’re going to do and what we’re not going to do. a man has been elected as an official that is to work for us, we don’t work for him or any other politician. what democrats are doing is absolutely a total nightmare. trump did everything for every american. granted, he is a narcissist and crude at times. excuse me, but i could care less about that. all i cared about was he did that was good for the country, i wasn’t interested in his personality. j, duckworth says february 15, 2021 at 9:34 pm you or we should be told, that is the job of a president and there is no reason why you should not obey and be thankful he is leading you in the right direction, not like where we have been for the past 4 years. everybody knows that. the population is so bad anymore that they all think they have the right to change the government rules and they do not. if so, then why have a president? why not let everybody live like unorganized animals that they are starting to become. riots, demonstrations, everybody thinks they have the answer and there is no one correct. a president is there to direct the people and they should respect it. trump gave no one a direction but where is the closest way i can make it better for him.because he had to take care of himself first. this comment is not directed to any one name in this section but a statement of today;’s society.unorganized, hateful and selfish. anybody who thinks this unruly mobster in office from 2016 thru 2021 needs to have their head examined. people have lost respect and only think of themselves. most do not recognize good when they see it, and with this new president yoiu will get attention, answers, and organization. president obama was excellent, kennedy men were good, bush and most all of the others were good presidents, and that is the end. i can be any party i think is right and vote for the president that knows how to do it with a bully gangster attitude. marla maples says january 27, 2021 at 1:49 am i can tell you why i think trump is the antichrist. because he laughs at god’s commandments. 1. he lies, 2. he is self serving and covets what others have and say. 3. he cheats, 4. he is a communist in wolfs clothing. 5. his favorite verse from the bible is an eye for an eye. 6. he hates jews, black, muslims and every non white. 7. he tried to steal the election by transferring the blame to biden. he was even caught in a lie on the telephone. he started a riot that killed 5 people and last but not least. he’s using people to get more power and turn this country into a communist country. he’s like hitler and napoleon wrapped into one. just keep coming. he drinks water like a person with drain bramage.. he walks funny he makes fun of people and he uses the poor uneducated whites. brainwashing the handful of supporters. the truth will always float to the top. marla maples says january 27, 2021 at 1:51 am biden stands for truth, justice and the american way fool. greg says january 27, 2021 at 9:35 am i hate and despise evil and trump is evil incarnate. unfortunately when combined with ignorance and incompetency, his evil is even more damaging. his lies commenced on day 1 with attendance lies about the size of his inauguration and continue to this day on how the election was “stolen”.! in between we have making fun of women and physically impaired people, lies and purposeful omissions about the severity of the corona virus that cost tens of thousands of american lives, supporting the border policy of separating children from their parents or custodians (over 600 children still separated to this day), failure to call out white supremacists and racists terrorists and racial inequality, attempting to take away health care from millions of people with absolutely no replacement plan, gutting environmental regulations that compromises our clean air and water and our health, damaged our credibility across the globe and with important allies, cuddled up to dictators, denied global warming which and withdrew from the paris accords and his final act of inciting a riot at the us capitol that resulted in at least five deaths including two police officers based on his lies about the validity of the presidential election, just name name a few of the reasons why we hate his incompetient ignorance and all his lies. anonymous says january 27, 2021 at 4:18 pm we all agree i personally give it 1 month! so far biden is the biggest fool this country has seen in history. nothing he has said or done yet is benefited a single true american! anonymous says january 28, 2021 at 9:20 am amen jerry says january 29, 2021 at 6:05 pm that may be the single stupidest thing i have ever read jamie says january 29, 2021 at 11:18 pm not to bad at all if i may say, as an outside observer from the uk, i fully concur with your breakdown. gigi says january 30, 2021 at 4:38 pm excellent! the media is still at it. they cannot stand it that americans were being heard by our president and he actually fulfilled his campaign promises. this bunch of leftist idiots will soon see that they have been deceived. frank harris says january 30, 2021 at 7:13 pm i hate trump because he is simply a pathological liar, confidence man and has pulled the wool over all of these poor republican’s eyes and pulled off the greatest con ever on the american people. he is an evil ’man and has always been. he cares nothing about america or people that support him except for their vote, otherwise he wouldn’t give you the time of day. he isi arrogant and profoundly stupid, having managed to file six bankruptcies in his ‘business’ career. being from new york and knowing this filthy worm for 40 years i can tell my republican friends he is simply not worth your time. i voted for mitt romney, who i consider to be an outstanding person and real leader. he would be great place to start for republicans to get the gop back. kaycee says february 5, 2021 at 11:18 pm so you prefer bought by beijing biden a 47 year career politico who did exactly what for the american people besides creep women out sniffing their hair?? he has mush for brains and parading him about like a political puppet that he is for pelousy and schmuck schumer is tantamount to elder abuse. good going there buddy. brandi says january 31, 2021 at 12:43 pm amen!!! well said! jim a says january 31, 2021 at 1:08 pm i do not support anyone who tries to violently overthrow the government. why do you support treason? anonymous says january 31, 2021 at 4:02 pm yes orange man bad biden good what a joke the rusted weather vane does what ever he is told never ever an original thought sheila says january 31, 2021 at 4:12 pm joe d. you hit every nail on the head. thank you for speaking exactly what i am feeling. red says january 31, 2021 at 6:53 pm you are ever so right!!! rain says february 2, 2021 at 5:06 pm hello, now i may be young but i can safely say that we do not hate trump just because of what the media says. yes, the media can be false which is why we are careful online but in this instance, the media has proof towards donald trump. he has been racist, he banned transgender people from joining the military and he planned the riot to overthrow congress. now i also wonder what makes you believe the election votes are a fraud? exactly, the only reason you say that is because you don’t like biden. i don’t like trump but if he was winning you certainly wouldn’t hear me say “those votes are fake”. the reason some voted for biden is that he stands for lgbtq rights and to fight against discrimination which are all great things to fight for. the least qualified people? i am going to assume you mean those of the lgbtq or other races, they are not more “woke” and they are not deviant. we are just being ourselves and he is accepting that and hiring anyway. the economy will not crash i can guarantee that the economy was crashing when trump was president. the white house is supporting everyone but their priorities are those who need more help than us. in a year i will be very happy trump is not in the office because he was the worst president ever and has been impeached twice. so please maybe do some research before you try to state your reasons because i am not even 16 and i have reasons that i can prove and i have done my research. hope you have a nice life though! anonymous says february 3, 2021 at 9:03 am well said. concerncitizen says february 3, 2021 at 9:27 am joe d, every sentiment you stated in your comment here. i completely agree! i want to add & inform for any screaming liberals that may read this post or hopefully echo others beliefs and values. it is frightening the number of people in this country/world are under the belief that everyone, as long as we all agree with the democratic liberals, should all have customized individual left wing (communist/socialist ) rights and be made a priority. they hide behind “rights for all, as anyone with a set of morals and a work ethic can see, its an “f” in” free for all out there! the country will never be what it was originally meant to be, because freedom of speech has been misused by so many who use it for an excuse to vomit there mental problems and lack of morals. they use it as a default button to make themselves feel as if they dont have to be accountable for morally corrupt decisions. i sincerely hope that the idiots who did vote for biden /harris., i hope i get a chance to say to at least one of them (when things go sideways) so is this why you wanted him running the country? unfortunately for those who didnt vote for alzheimers joe and his unqualified sidekick) we will all have to suffer in many ways to display the pure evil of the government, individual political operatives, big pharma…., the list is overwhelmingly long. im so glad to know that the new administration is more concerned about even more “lgbtqxyz” issues and rights (because that should be a priority with what goes on in this country????) we have heard loud and clear, we get it, whos in the drivers seat now. people flipping out and angry because we didnt keep up with the entire alphabet of letters in the identity acronym used, you are all so very special, im going to make my own acronym gxwfwlc . that stands for gen x white female who likes chocolate. oh ya and im going to be pissed at whoever doesnt know that, maybe i can have my own blog or pod cast about my plight and how undervalued i feel because i was mis addressed or mis identified as gxwfwlc. just kidding my point is to those “they” we all know how important the non gender specific pronouns are these days. well anyway my point is your not that special!!! no one gives a flying damn who you are. i believe thats the whole problem in a nutshell (no pun intended) who, what or why you even exist on this planet. i do agree that those individuals have issues!! big time alright., but they need therapy not government time & intervention. as far as the brillant idea of defunding and shrinking the police agencies in this country. wtf, yes black lives matter all lives matter. (black, yellow, orange, green and everything in between i would think that the good (all colors, shapes & sizes) law abiding citizens of this country could find more creative & effective ways to root out the burnt out and corrupt law enforcement than shutting it down and leaving community’s vulnerable to the “not so law abiding citizens” skin color and ethnicity dosent give anybody the right to harm another whether with words or deeds. also there is no such thing as different races people!!! its the human race, thats for any screaming liberals reading this ( that statement is not be trying to be pc its just a fact!) the democratic/liberal bull in this country supports and furthers the 1st world “problems” and hyperfocuses on them so much, it hand holds the perpetuation of “problems”. that arent really problems. im a gen x, white female and, i didnt grow up in an affluent, fembot household, just wanted to make that crystal clear!! thought id preface that in case you wanted to know who was speaking. i also am not going to apologize for who i am ( nor do i think anyone should have to) which seems to be another pissy waste of time in the country. certain people having to apologize for who they are. i certainly dont! lets see if i have it correct with the liberal thought process? 1. we should be able to say anything we like as long is it is in agreement and compliance with them. even if it’s contradictory to commonsense or just good taste!!! 2. rights for all minorities ! (good start) but then : what is to be considered the “majority” should be made to feel guilty for everything and anything and reverse descrimination should continue to be cultivated and nurtured!! 3. completely let the government “help” us by socialist standards, take all freedom of choice away (because we are not capable to make are own choices for healthcare , etc… 4. endless government programs, that make decisions for us, that are not for the greater good. but for every individual special interest group known to human kind. you know the oppressed sector of (3 toed, eyelash compromised citizens, of the economically challenged sub suburban communitys (i just made that word up 😁, well… just in keeping with the liberal dictionary (yes you do need your own, not that i would spend my money on it) 5. continuing the “in bed” covert crap that is between, the government, big pharma, fda, major food manufacturers. 6. keep us in a war (17 years isnt long enough?) so certain sectors can keep profiting and we can keep losing american lives. wow can anyone say vietnam all over again!! 7. believe in a party that promises they will make a country that is a “utopia”,. no one who promises that should be walking around in the general population (a lie and scary anyone would believe it) they will fix all the woes of this world. they prey on the people who want someone else to do it all for them, hold their hand and wipe their chin of drool for absolutely everything. this world has massive hardships &, atrocities. life is hard and unfair. look to god to ease your soul and body of its burdens, and guide your conscience. people and government should not hold themselves out for being able to do that. the facts are this: we need government on a national level to make our country healthy, in these areas civil law, economic health with stability & reasonable growth. foreign diplomatic relations and policy., which would or should in turn nurture healthy values and behavior. & choices. and oh my would that start closing the gap on economic and educational opportunities? i would think a concentration and focus on several large areas of these issues (that are within the scope of what the government is supposed to be for) would have a positive ripple effect to all the others. if people could just be accountable for themesleves and stop trying to have others hand hold and make excuses for bad decisions (purposeful or not) & behavior!!! bottom line is people lets stop using the government to fight your “special” little whiny corner. suck it up make a plan then make move to make it better!!! for the entire human race!!! karen says february 9, 2021 at 4:33 pm where’s my husband kaycee says february 5, 2021 at 11:30 pm yes, yes, yes. and please let’s not forget he couldn’t make it from the bathroom to the bedroom without grabbing some (dog) tail and skipping the light fandango doing cartwheels across the floor injuring his leg.. president mush for brains. the plagerizer and thief. all the plot to get the real candidate in; he is just not flavour of the month let’s face it. give it a month they are going to poison his cocoa or he will take another fall . joe is a patsy. he just doesn’t know it yet. for the record, i am not a republican. fed up with the two ring circus. aliname says january 24, 2021 at 11:50 pm of course wearing a shirt with that slogan is wrong. but what you don’t know is that those are paid protesters by soros to make conservatives look bad. conservatives (at least the majority) are not prone to revolt, which is why this had never happened before. but, even among liberals and leftist, the main trouble makers are paid participants. soros finances people to fly to protest sites and riot. it’s a serious problem. liz says january 31, 2021 at 10:01 am woulx you please provide evidence for that claim? not a fascist usa says january 25, 2021 at 2:16 am you’re 100 percent right, this article is just sad donna parkerson vidmar says february 2, 2021 at 11:23 pm but, so is the actual truth about how 50% of the so called good guys in this country are nit longer worth anything, you no longer can trust the ones that are pledged to protect the ordinary decent citizines, there are too many opinions that are based solely on greed based attitudes. i have watched my country fall completely apart in the last 7 years.. 5 years, it has broken a part of my heart that i simply can’t even describe in polite words. i sat 9n my living room and watched my american president ( donald trump,) use the “f” word on international tv. i had voted for this jerk, thinking, …. height just pull it off in changing my country into a better place for all to reside. boy, was i wrong or what? listening to the news about the behaviors if this man.. ( and i am very loosly using the word man here. ) actually had real tears running down my face, hearing “my ” president , using such vulgar and completely unnecessary language on a forum that was being sent all around the world. i am not a nazi not would i ever support any such ideals, i am not a white supremist, not a black or latino hater. i , am an american. and that “used” to say a lot , ( at least , i believed it did.) i wish my countrymen and women could just push aside all their inner demons and negativity in the hate that is exploding inside the hearts of so many people. it’s so senseless to feed the core beliefs if all these things that feed the “hate” inside the hearts and minds and souls of the people if this earth. our oceans are dying at a alarming rate that is actually terrifying for any future survival fur humanity. our animals are vanishing, so quickly there can not possibly be enough peoples support to stop the ultimate loss if far too many of theistvnajestic creatures that were created to share this planet along side if us all. the rate of pollution and complete disregard for the obvious necessary habitats that are trying to simply survive to go on through to another generation if their own species us so downright dumfounding that “any” human with any level if intelligence could not clearly see the ramifications of the eventusl outcome for every living , breathing, thing that lives in this world is in a very dangerously precarious position. and , who has done this complete distruction ? it was not the animals nor the insects or fish either… there is only one species even remotely capable of the kind of total deviststion to the beautiful , living planet. if we all don’t or better said won’t, find a way to work together, to stop this crazy hate that is spiriling out if control very quickly, and headed fir a nightmare senario that only the last book if the bible can begin to give any description of the true outcome if things to come. if we cant or won’t, find a way to teach ourselves a better way if doing things , of treating each other and of treating our planet with the respect and attention it now is going to require to rebound it’s sicknesses, then mankind will find it’s only answers in suffering and the eventual extinction if all things that live and breathe on this magnificent earth. what , are we doing ? why is greed and power and coruption so much more alluring to the nature of our species? why can’t we just wake up? and care about each other again.. ? are we truly that doomed to not want so much better for each other? i weot, as i stood in my living room and listened to my… “my” president sout out the “f” word in national television so carelessly. i have to openly say, i was ashamed of my country, my government, of my “leader” and “president” that day…. i weot because i never would have ever believed, that that day would have ever come in my lifetime. i clearly could see the level of “stupidity” and lack of any moral compass was now , …. actually, the top leaders of the known free world. i simply say down a cried fur my country. and the rest if the world that was going to be capable of seeing and hearing the exact same program i was watching, and having the same negative impact concerning the truthful and actual state of the real future of my entire planet. i was so sad that day, abd i clearly realized, mankind has messed up everything and more then likely will never get it together in time to make ant real difference in the overall outcome that is going to come from this very staggering truth that we are facing. concerning survival of our entire planet. earth is breaking… our oceans are breaking.. our planet is screaming for our help.! what do you actually think us going to happen ? do any of you out there actually have “faith” in our species, to do the right things? i sat there and thought to myself, yup… we are all “f’ed” it so seems now…. if our leaders can’t have enough respect for themselves to speak with a elequent mannor and to show the people that are looking to them for very real answers to so many troubling problems in this world, in such a way to help us as a people, to further our differences, and embrace our simaliarities… to quit hating and start showing love toward all others.. and to our very ailing planet, then the truth of this matter is far more bleak and hopeless then any if us want to accept. i’m sad.. so so sad…. that hate is more important then the survival of all living things. and our own species. we are in deep trouble people.. deep deep trouble. and i am one if the simple little nobody voices in this world that is just truly and deeply sad for all if us. i will pray, u will hope, i will do all i can to make whatever little difference that i can to do whatever i can to help this world. but, .. unless we all come to the very serious realization that we have to stand up now to speak out true minds about the actual world we live in… then ourvfutures as a people are deeply in trouble and more theh likely will not survive this problem if the “breaking and shattering if all things around us” for very long in the overall outcome of this situstion. i just wish, with all if my heart, we could just find “love” and go from there with what we really know to be needed on this planet. i wish , we could all stop being so selfish and live each other … really live each other…. it could be our last chance to do it. think about this …. won’t you? it matters. thank you for reading my point of view. donna parkerson, vidmar. ivanka trump says january 18, 2021 at 2:30 am worst. president. ever. do i hate him because he’s not a socialist? no. i hate him, to begin with, because i’ve traveled around the world a few times. i’ve met shysters, swindlers, cheaters, liars and scumbags. it doesn’t take a rocket scientist or a psychic to see he is all of these things. he tells you what you want to hear, and any actual truth he tells is accidental. he spent the first couple years in office trying to destroy everything accomplished by obama that he couldn’t take credit for. worst. president. ever. his first lies, once elected (many preceded), were about his inauguration crowd and his “greatest landslide blah blah blah” with 306 votes. reagan had 489. he spent his last couple of years (yay) in office trying to swindle a re election. when that didn’t work, and it was clear he’d lost (by nearly 7 million votes since he’s so reviled), he tried to use his blind followers to destroy our democracy. he is out for himself, and hates anyone who tells him no. his policies are terrible. he’s destroyed relationships with our friends. he’s cozied up to authoritarians and taken notes. and he’s bad at it. everyone around him gets burned. he’s a disgrace, and voting for him once was a mistake and forgivable (begrudgingly). voting for him twice means you’ve fallen into his cult of personality. everything he says is either a lie, a distorted truth, or an accidental truth that he can use to control you. worst. president. ever. todd marshall says january 22, 2021 at 11:11 am your jealous because your wife is not a super model and you rely on the government to eat and he’s living the american dream. he’s a winner and you are a jealous loser and only can wish for your own success so you tear into the successful and bitterly hate them. you need a handout and he will tell you go to work you lazy bum cuck says january 26, 2021 at 8:07 pm he sleeps with randoms because his wife wont sleep with him, cuck. lady fury says february 1, 2021 at 11:46 am and you are ignorant of your disgrace and have not yet grasped the concept of the “long game” nor do i feel you have the stamina and brain capacity for it. when you learn that instant gratification is fleeting and momentary then i will gladly participate in the war, because then and only then would i consider it a challenge. john says february 2, 2021 at 7:02 am god bless you tell them the. those scared liberals they make me sick i would like them to pull that bullying tough stuff with my friends or my self. they would not stand a chance there’d be begging for mercy we respect the elderly true americans 🙏 or any inocent person know matter color race gender there right to vote and enjoy peace while doing it don’t worry karma is a bit.t cchh and its comming i love all know matter race gender ect but i hate liberals syd says february 4, 2021 at 9:24 am does a winner act like a sore loser? no. i am only 12 but even i know the difference between winners and losers. we do have to keep in check that he is a human and has accomplished more than the average human but he has also done a lot of harm. so he is not a winner in my book. demstrash says february 4, 2021 at 1:14 pm what a legend this guy just destroyed you and your liberal wailing worried about cancel culture says january 22, 2021 at 1:19 pm i am a proud american and what is happening in america is frightening. i am neither a republican or demarcate i have always voted for the person i thought was the best candidate. i did not vote for trump. he is socially as graceful as an albatross. but he started to win me over. the economy improved. i really liked they way he handled foreign affairs. i am amazed at the general disrespect that he has received from media. i feel as a people we were bullied into hating him. we treated like we must be fools if we supported him. i started watching other media on reports on u tub and saw some very disturbing things happening in america. the opposite opinion other than mainstream was being deleted. every bit of information that supported something they did like was erased. we are losing the right of free speech in america. we are being told what to thing by mainstream media. we have to go out side of american sources of information to get another opinion. most people around me seem to be blind. i think it shows that media is not changing people as much as they wanted too by the election results. sadly i saw too much information deleted that has caused me now to believe that the election was manipulated. i no long trust that votes are safe and true. i am worried for the rights of citizens to have free speech and that it will even be heard. all of this trump stuff is cruel. i can not respect those malicious people who wanted to impeach him. many of the same people who supported the rioting of the summer and all the people who were killed and damage done to personal property. very one sided thinking. american needs to wake up and see what is really happening and stop supporting the media bulling we have been receiving from cnn, msnbc, and almost every other news source juanita watson says february 1, 2021 at 11:51 am i agree. i have 12 phones, 3 tablets and 2 laptops that are proof that “america” was silenced until a victor crowned. i am aware of more than i intentionally share. mama can't sleep says february 3, 2021 at 12:51 pm thank you worried about cancel culture, many of my sentiments were in what you wrote. the left seems so intent to hate that they can not regard the very serious attacks at our liberty that came with the fraudulent election, and the loss of freedom of speech and our right to vote. do they not care about how many people have fought for our country to have that right, not just democrats, but the whole country! one vote cast incorrectly is too many, as it proves how easily it can be done, and that any safeguards against fraud are not working.. and somehow, democrats believe this is an issue of being sore losers and they completely turn a blind eye to the denial of a fair election?!? my mom just keeps saying “this is not our home.” which i know, but it won’t stop me from being shocked by how easily the media can affect the minds of its viewership. i am so worried about the future of our nation. my children and grandchildren will be living a vastly different life than how lived my youth. in a different world. with maybe severely lower quality of life based on a government whose concern for it’s people has depleted to none. linda oliver says february 4, 2021 at 10:48 am the media like cnn and msnbc are as bad or worse than the democratic politicians. i just cannot get over the hypocrisy that exists. why is it that kamala harris gets to promote violence causing lives taken, police and others injured, police station burned down, businesses, flags and bibles burned and all the lowdown acts of inhuman jungle animals. she then wants to get them out and back on the streets. promotes them to keep on. nancy pelosi, when being asked about the terrorism stated so nonchalantly that people do what they do and she didnt care much about statues. a police officer shot protecting a federal building, but who cares it wasn’t the one on capitol hill. what happened to walls do not work> look at the capitol bldg. .pelosi only cares for herself. a very sick woman. am i aloud to call her a woman or she or her? sick, pure evil and unbelievable!!! garrett benwell ayotte says february 5, 2021 at 8:43 am congrats you are a developing human being unlike anyone who dogmatically supports either side. keep it up we need more sensible people and less hardcore leftists/rightists/ or neocon halfwits like joe biden clint sparks says january 22, 2021 at 3:34 pm people like you are so retarded! (broken,does not work properly ❣) the number one thing wrong in america isn’t the corrupt dnc(hitler used their playbook) but democracy…..❣ democracy is beautiful in theory but in practice it is a fallacy,false,we are seeing it in america for a long time now. maga eradicate democracy and the dnc at whatever means❣ constance mead says january 26, 2021 at 7:48 pm i really wish when people write their opinions they would leave out slamming other people for their opinions. state why you don’t like something, don’t just keep saying i hate this person and and also omit the foul language, because that really makes a person look stupid. it means you can’t expound upon your hatred or your reason for the hate. just repeating people are stupid blah blah blah makes you look stupid. if you hate trump, say why. if you hate biden, say why. it is best you leave the hate behind and try to reach a mutual solution where we can all work together. shahan104 says january 22, 2021 at 9:50 pm what surprise is why liberal marxists still fear trump. susan willems says january 23, 2021 at 9:44 am misinformed and cant use your own name sad hater donna parkerson vidmar says february 2, 2021 at 11:40 pm i know… has to say his hate behind a unknown name. typical of the weak minded haters that have no spine to stand up and be counted for who and what they actually think and believe. pathetic. joe wolf says january 23, 2021 at 11:26 am yes trump is a scumbag and emblematic of the pieces of shit that so many american are! anonymous says january 26, 2021 at 7:50 pm you should not allow the staff to be printed. let’s try to keep it civil in the language clean and i am talking to you people who should be editing these comments. anonymous says january 26, 2021 at 8:07 pm joe must enjoy to be told what to do and paying 4 dollar gas rob says september 28, 2023 at 2:49 pm the president doesn’t control the price of gas. that’s done by the oil companies, who are making record profits. leah johnson says january 29, 2021 at 9:57 am mob connected pedo see google for being well informed edudton and grandfather in wash as a business dealership red says january 31, 2021 at 6:47 pm you should refer to your self in such light hearted terms, joe. nunya says february 1, 2021 at 3:07 am obviously you are one of the many, many blind deaf and dumb idiots in this now pathetic country who can’t or just don’t want to have to think for themselves anymore. we will lose our right to bear arms, our freedom of speech is already greatly negated, oil is coming only from foreign countries immediately and taxes on vehicle purchases will be so high they will be forced lost in further development. the dollar will be valueless for the middle class family resultant in starvation of our children. democrats may as well pluck our eyes out as what would we not stoop to, to save the lives of our children? people will be begging for government control foolishly believing they will be taken care of because there will be no other options! go against me and die. like hitler. biden said, “i will treat the people who didn’t vote for me the same as those who did.” like hell he will. and what president has ever made such a statement? you sheep out there will be as sorry as the rest of us but at least we won’t go lying in a bed of stupidity as those of you who actually believe the new administration is for the betterment of the people. joe miami says february 9, 2021 at 4:40 pm damn democrats want to turn our wives into drag queen lesbians 😡😡😡who eat new born baby’s 👶👶👶👶they want us to commit arson 🔥🔥🔥🔥and also want our kids to learn about racism. gw says june 3, 2022 at 7:50 am said the real low life loser himself. gw says june 3, 2022 at 7:52 am joe wolf, you really are a total low life loser altogether. american says january 23, 2021 at 1:31 pm we need give him a chance hes only been in office for few days . we lost thousands of union jobs and pissed canda off . and made china happy . to a different subject . i fell bad about them people at border we do need to help them . my plan is if i was president i would load them up take them to all the blue states and sum to white house to live with joe . and the rest to his brothers island . coop says january 23, 2021 at 4:04 pm seriously you have to stop spending all of your time on fakebook and listening to news outlets that are all controlled by the left. get your facts strait before you post something as childish as that. but you’ll realize that in a month or two when gas prices go up, taxes go up, your friends and even you lose your job. maybe just maybe you’ll realize that hating someone for their personality is not the rite way to go when it comes to picking a leader john c paul says january 30, 2021 at 5:30 pm i know that i have things “strait”, coop. anonymous says january 23, 2021 at 4:40 pm yeah but biden is criminal… hell is not for people says january 24, 2021 at 11:20 am ivanka?

go talk to our generals military leaders, and ask them what they think of him? i would say, they love him! i was listening to hollywood journalist paid to did up dirt on people, she followed his personal and leadership actions for ten years, she went on to say, i couldn’t find anything bad about him, she went on to say, he was one of the most kind generous person, she had list of things he had done for anyone that he came in contact with, he help them with what ever their needs were, i guess you didn’t read that in social media, people haters thrive in media, they can’t stand that he’s been successful, in personal life and in office. i see after living on this earth, if you don’t agree with these hateful rich people on the far left having to pay, people to do their dirty work, start riots? you sound like a good candidate for antifa, it’s so easy to see now, after president trump left office we are heading in the direction of socialisms, a dictatorship if we don’t agree with someone, they sensor you, call you names make up stories, we’ve lost our right to freedom speech, however it’s amazing what kind of one sided crap the media blurts out these day. we were lucky and blessed as a country to have president donald j trump at it’s helm, without him, we’re going to lose our personal freedoms to have a conversation like this, we can disagree that’s okay, i believe in democracy. and there were real flaws in our voting process, i have a non american friend who lives in malaysia, a successful small businessman electrical engineer, a brother who is a doctor, i asked for a neutral opinion about what was going on in our country, he said, i tried to be neutral looking at your situation going on in your country and couldn’t, your media and big tech are very bias, there’s no way that percentages of voters in american history have ever voted like that not even close? it would have been so easy to crop voters, with covid going on, something is seriously wrong going on in your country, the whole world see’s it but the people listening social media and big tech! brother you’ve been blinded by hate, just look into the eyes of biden, pelosi, bernie sanders that joke of man john kerry, hilary pure evil, hate radiates now from so many people that support the left, my joy is some day they will be exposed for what they really are! humble yourself and get on your knees and ask god for the truth, if any of you that lack wisdom let him ask of god,that giveth to all men liberally and up braideth noy, and it shall be given. know the truth first before you speak. jamie says january 29, 2021 at 11:29 pm you got the job at cnn start monday luv the us says january 30, 2021 at 6:19 pm you do.nt have any facts to base your hate on biden won by fraud and justices that are afraid to stand by the constitution shame on you and them robert daniel fulbright says february 2, 2021 at 11:20 am sounds like you hate democrat politicians more then trump! if you’ve been all over the world and seen shysters, swindlers and cheats and don’t see that in biden you are very deceived! biden has already broken promises he made during his campaign like banning fracking! warren buffitt bought and paid for the xl keystone pipeline to stop being built so he can haul more crude oil by rail on bnsf trains. trump couldn’t be bought like that and i thought that was great! go ahead and bow down at the feet of joe biden, a politician that has been in the game for nearly 50 years and has done nothing so far but sign 40 plus executive orders to pretty much destroy this country! biden also signed to overturn trump’s executive order to make insulin and epipen prices lower! i guess you liked that too huh? rain says february 2, 2021 at 5:12 pm i agree and i’m 13…i also had more proof for my reasons than a probably 40 year old man sooo donna parkerson vidmar says february 2, 2021 at 11:34 pm well said… i think, those comments had to hurt you as much as they will hurt all people. it’s just such a sad state of affairs in the real actual truth if things…. but, thank you for saying what you feel… i admire a person that isn’t afraid to speak the truth no matter what. thank you. anonymous says february 4, 2021 at 4:51 am biden will continue what obama did… get ready for ww3. jeffman says february 4, 2021 at 1:28 pm i agree to an extent. trump is kind of crazy. is he a good leader though? it looks like it. there’s a lot of crazy libtards and repubs on this site but overall trump is ok. the fact that biden is my president scares the @#$& out of me. at least its not bernie because bernie’s just a socialist. he even admits it. biden is ok i guess. maybe it’ll shut the liberals whining for a month or two before they get told who to hate again. the reason polls always swing to the left is that if you ask a democrat who they voted for chances are they are kinda loud and ignorant and will tell you. if you ask a republican they will almost always tell you “why should i tell you who i voted for” because they arent as loud. so polls show a majority of more left based peeps. if you wanna comment or reply go right ahead as i would like to see a similar post from a more left perspective. also sorry if there are writing mistakes i’m only 14 geez. have a good day you epic peeps and reply if you want id love to hear some different opinions vagirna says february 9, 2021 at 4:54 pm i completely agree bernie would have had us all convert to lgbtqism 🤢🤢🤢where abortion and racism (twords white people) are legal. keep fighting and someday you will make such a great politician who has a sex scandal of course 🥺🥺. anonymous says march 9, 2022 at 11:50 pm i agree to an extent. trump is kind of crazy. is he a good leader though? it looks like it. there’s a lot of crazy libtards and repubs on this site but overall trump is ok. the fact that biden is my president scares the @#$& out of me. at least its not bernie because bernie’s just a socialist. he even admits it. biden is ok i guess. maybe it’ll shut the liberals whining for a month or two before they get told who to hate again. the reason polls always swing to the left is that if you ask a democrat who they voted for chances are they are kinda loud and ignorant and will tell you. if you ask a republican they will almost always tell you “why should i tell you who i voted for” because they arent as loud. so polls show a majority of more left based peeps. if you wanna comment or reply go right ahead as i would like to see a similar post from a more left perspective. also sorry if there are writing mistakes i’m only 14 geez. have a good day you epic peeps and reply if you want id love to hear some different opinions ken says january 15, 2021 at 5:23 pm for the most part, this thread is filled with hate for and from both sides. are we enemies as americans? i hope not. i will there are wrongs and rights on both sides, but a civil discourse among ourselves maybe the only solution that will keep america intact. while not perfect by any means, the american dream offers a road toward perfection knowing it is not attainable. what we are doing now is not anyway close to moving toward that dream. we hate each other, not for wrongs against, but for beliefs and ideas. we don’t talk civilly or with and open mind because we think we are right and you are wrong and there is no acceptable compromise. didn’t we learn from dr. king that we are all the same and deserve equal opportunity? yet, we still don’t accept each other because they voted one way or the other. brothers and sisters have always disagreed but, for the most part, they love each other more than they disagree. we as brothers and sisters in the american home, need to show our love for each other more. we can still disagree, but we must keep our house together. love is the thousands of nails that hold it together. don’t be the claw end of the hammer. susan willems says january 23, 2021 at 9:44 am amen!! fred says january 23, 2021 at 3:44 pm what you say is your take on your agenda, the man was good to us who produce food for the world and take the wild animals given to us by god to eat,he stood behind our for fathers and beloved constitution and wisdom that put quil to parchment,both made from animals.the grand list of his accomplishments is incredible,and given the duress in which he was forced to work due to the bratty democrats and there nothing else to do jobs it was a hitherto spectacular accomplishment in 4 years.but barring that,how could you not recognize the gloomy alternative! the bloody demorats and jo biden!!! absolutely and unacceptable trade off. he will see how good donald trump was at the end of biden term with his unholy regime. and the godly will pay for you to learn this lesson. joe d. says january 24, 2021 at 12:28 pm face it ken. conservatives tried to build a wealthy, employed nation for all groups. the left now would just as soon shoot you dead in the street if they could get away with it. with all the censorship and banning this or that person because of what they said it is obvious that they want to kill us. they have openly stated that we are all just racists even though a significant portion are black and latino more than any other time in history. they take every action to stick us in the eye and call for “unity” in the same breath. the sickening inaugural address by biden was total pc bullshit! i heard white supremacy and racial injustice mentioned multiple times but have yet to uncover a single example of that in american policing for example going back over a decade. this summer’s riots were totally in the name of a fake cause that did not exist other than to day no leftist wants to see any black person arrested for any crime without calling the police interaction “racial injustice.” people do not like complainers but we especially do not like them to make up reasons to complain just so they can tell themselves they were heroes or social justice warriors and burn a city down to say they stood up for something. adults are fed up with kids getting away with murder and politicians doing nothing about it because of political correctness. political correctness cannot be allowed to sway decisions without bringing out the anger of those who try to do the right thing. joejo says january 24, 2021 at 6:15 pm that sounds great and all, but what about these “people” outright stealing our votes! any fool could see that this was all a setup and if dirty joe biden got 5 million votes, i’d really be surprised! on the other hand, even with these sorry lying cheaters, president trump still got nearly 80 million votes. it was very clear these commie politicians on the left, pelosi, schumer, shiff, nadler and the list goes on and on, but it was clear these china loving commie bastards hated president trump and all that he did, because they were trying to do just the opposite, flood the country with the lowest class of people on the planet when we don’t even have enough jobs for our own people, where a lot has to take low paying jobs just to make it, now they want to flood in another 10 or 30 million of these people who will go straight on welfare, where you, me and everyone else will have to help take care of them when we can’t even take care of the people we have now from biden and obamas last flood of people that was purposely sent here! this country’s in trouble now that this sick pedo has stole our public office’s, and if you think now, after all these shenanigans the left has pulled in the last two elections that you actually have a voice in who’s elected or that your vote actually counts, then your in denial because they just showed the entire world that we the people are not in charge and we don’t even have a say in who is elected much less a vote! oh sure if you manage to live under a rock and don’t have any clue as to what these traitors on the left and right are up too and you manage to vote ‘their” way, then yeah you have a vote that count’s, but for the rest of us who see these commie bastards for who they really are and who they really work for, we have no say and now everyone wants us to just bend over and keep taking it like a man! well that’s just not what we’ve fought for and that’s taking a big huge dump on the men and women who’ve given their lives for this country, not just in modern wars but the men who fought to make this country free in the first place, what about them? that’s why we must take these traitors head on now before we don’t stand a chance! chrissy says january 27, 2021 at 8:47 pm i agree with you a 100 percent !!!!! we do need to defend our country now!!! i for one am not gonna lay down and take this shit !!! pelosi, schumer, shift, nadler, cia, fbi, the generals and the courts are all in on ruining america for greed and power grab!!!! they are disgusting!!! red says january 31, 2021 at 7:29 pm you are ever so right!!! i’m glad to see that so many people recognize the criminality in the election. there is no way biden should have won the election. it was apparently when he entered the raise at the head of the ticket. total bull. hopefully, t he republicans will be able to get him out of office before he gives the country away or eliminates our armed forces so that we’ll be taken over. rob dyer lispeth liberti says january 24, 2021 at 6:34 pm eloquently put, thank you for showing class when there is so little of it lately. your writing humbled me. anonymous says january 25, 2021 at 5:03 pm ken i agree with you. i don’t feel we will be able to be open minded when there are two different realities. that makes the unity even more difficult. right now i’m worried stating we have different reallities because saying that sounds like a put down.? i’m just not sure how else to put it. hope things get better john wise says january 25, 2021 at 5:12 pm well said ashley says january 26, 2021 at 11:06 am i didn’t vote. this year. notalib says january 27, 2021 at 6:20 pm then you voted for joe tineka howell says january 13, 2021 at 11:09 pm my husband and i have been married for over 10 years. we met when i was 18 and he was 21. we’ve been through a lot emotionally together. there were several huge fights and painful situations in our marriage, but we always seemed to come out stronger on the other side. out of the blue my husband just sprung the divorce talk on me, i was totally depressed until i found dr. todd website online and i ordered for a love spell. you won’t believe my husband called me at the exact time this spell caster finished his spell work in 48hrs. i was totally amazed! he is wonderful and his spells work so fast. his email: manifest spell cast@ g mail. com jo says january 15, 2021 at 10:37 am tinea, i believe, by your comment, that you may be on the wrong article. jim says january 15, 2021 at 9:49 pm your a satanic nut case at worst or a common ignorant faller of satanic crap. nathan eckerle says january 22, 2021 at 3:09 pm mr jim, i ask you what is the difference in christianity and witch craft? um tithes that’s all (the satanic bible at least sees pedophilia as a sin) lol you pray as a christian. you ceremoniously cannibalize. “ this is my body “ baptism ceremonious spell! the only difference is you pay a preacher. if you decide to build an altar and pray and have a ceremony using herbs or other natural remedies. at least your not having to pay some douche bag to have him twist the” holy word “ to benefit himself! oh and by way if god is all powerful why hasn’t he abolished the devil? hunger? stupidity? or best yet!!! the fact that king james translated the scrolls that contain the “bible” by candle light in the 1600s but we still can’t translate it completely now.? now ask yourself who is really to gain by convincing the masses to act accordingly. pay tithes to the king and to god. such a smart man king james lil research and he’s an evil promiscuous tyrant. albeit a smart one. chew on that lil bit before you accuse, and verbally persecute a person for their beliefs if their contrary to yours! “ nde lispeth liberti says january 24, 2021 at 6:36 pm don’t you have better things to do? iseeyou says january 16, 2021 at 12:18 am when you say huge fight, do you mean he beats you up ? or you beat him up? oh , sorry, i should’ve said spouse instead of he. and you will probably get asked to get a divorce again. anyone stupid enough to believe that they don’t need god and can turn to a satanic mind reader will be seen for what they are . a future problem and a chain around a good mans neck. anonymous says january 25, 2021 at 5:14 pm iseeyou i thought god was all loving and accepting. i respect your beliefs but you being extremely mean and judgemental diesnt and using god as a cover. your faith doesn’t give you a right to be mean. how you treat others matters. nonya says january 30, 2021 at 8:38 am i thought the comments only purpose was to be mean and judgemental. so you can feel like your point of view is the only right one and bash someone over the head with it. nursy says january 16, 2021 at 7:49 am that’s nice… anonymous says january 22, 2021 at 10:21 pm well i dont agree trump was the president that keep. prices low an he was so dogged. the miller investigation hell biden is more of a russia guy then trump. an no miller there hell. what. they put trump threw id be crazy to anonymous says january 17, 2021 at 2:37 am we lefties don’t hate america; you do, because you only love america when america is good for your dirty pockets. we .certainly hate christian evangelists like you, for your racism, greed, bigotry, xenophobia, homophobia, and more and more. asshole says january 22, 2021 at 9:47 pm you only have one place to go ya dam commie paul lee says january 25, 2021 at 2:28 pm that is totally, your opposite, liar!!! we need to get socialism out for goodness’ sake!!!we need to imprison socialists, joe biden, and nancy pelosi she’s a total socialistic monster, along with freedom taking socialist joe biden!!! paul lee says january 25, 2021 at 2:47 pm hey, first of all, you don’t hate, second of all, please just read the king james bible. it will tell you how to live and to become a christian. it is based on non denominational, truth, that was inspired by the word of god. he made us able to live here, and to spread the gospel. and he made us, with the ability to do so. and that we grow, in truth, and we have to first, hear the word, then believe, and be baptized, totally, immersed, into pure water. live faithfully, serving god. i appreciate, your reading this review. please be nice and not be mean to who was maybe spreading the word of god. christian love and care will get you to heaven, someday, if we continuously live right. faithfully, and according to the word of god. that is, the actual, written, non denominational beliefs we have and strive, living by. it’s a blessing, and not a miracle, now days. thanks. take care. luis says january 26, 2021 at 5:56 am when leftists don’t get their way they riot and destroy, if right wingers do it they are called terrorists instead of leftists freedom fighters. wtf?! charles w cossel says january 17, 2021 at 7:54 pm if i was him and found out you believed in this bullshit, i would continue with the divorce in a new york minute! fred says january 23, 2021 at 6:12 pm the holy bible is our guide to rightiounesss,for it is the word pf god. if you slander the word of god you have succumbed to satan and his ways.your spirit will not go on.you are blinded by the darkness,but even you can learn to see the light if you yearn for the truth. john c paul says january 30, 2021 at 5:44 pm democratic socialists forever! anonymous says january 18, 2021 at 1:50 am dear about to be divorced. all i have is a message for your. husbhusbanhusbhusband ruuuuuun rruuuun fast get the hell out of theredavid john says january 18, 2021 at 1:59 am democrats prey on the fears of the impoverished and the weak, that’s how they get votes, yet these very people don’t realize that they care nothing about their problems, they only want power. liberals hate god and they hate america, they want to shut down anyone who dares to disagree with them, because they. can’t really debate against conservative values, they need the media to help disseminate all the lies that they spew, and the media has gladly obliged. our universities are brainwashing our children to become socialist slash marxist weak puppets. it’s terrifying how dumb the majority of americans truly are and how easily manipulated they are by the democratic party. pray for the country and hope that this blue takeover wakes up the fools amongst us and passes soon. will says january 22, 2021 at 5:41 pm hey john.. if i were you, i wouldn’t have even commented to this post. you are repeating fox, oann and newsmax bs. i am a liberal and i spend a lot of time with god. i absolutely love god and read the bible daily, which is something i encourage you to do. you are on the side of white supremacy  but you do realize that jesus wasn’t white? you are on the side of the very very richest people in america paying very little tax or in some cases, no taxes  while many underprivileged people are homeless and hungry? would jesus just let them starve or would jesus help them to shelter and food? who are you to judge liberals the way you just did? i want you to know, that i am against abortions except for dire life and death circumstances, but also believe that those circumstances do exist.. so if we are lucky enough to make it to judgement day, i believe the ultimate judge is god, not some hateful, racist supporting guy named john.. ps . have a great life, and a bit of advice, turn off the fox, aonn and newsmax and pick up the bible.. start with ephesians 4: 25 32 chris hughes says january 22, 2021 at 10:55 pm so, according to you liberals and democrats hate america and god? let’s start with wars, did you know republicans started every war since vietnam. did you know the republican presidents have hurt or destroyed the economy? did you know that republicans lied about the wmd to start a war in iraq that killed thousands and destroyed many other veterans lives and civilians? did you know that gore lost the prrsidency in 2000 by 545 votes in florida, after 3 people, now supreme court judges changed votes? now let’s talk about god, the liberals didn’t attack the capital after a crazy man told them too. the liberals don’t follow a man who is a known liar, a accused pedophile and rapist, who hung around and partied with a convicted pedofile ( epstein) who told people to attack the capitol because he wanted to fix the election and ignore the voice of america, and worst of all said,” i am the chosen one” as he looked to heaven. the question i should ask you is ” how can you support a man who said” i don’t ask for forgiveness because i don’t sin or sin very little “? us liberals don’t invade the capitol because our leader tells us too, or we don’t follow a leader who blaspheme god, but you do. hypocrite! and since you brought it up, how dumb are the trump supporters who follow him even though he’s a known liar and has said ( his inner circle) that his supporters are ” disgusting “? it’s sad that you trump supporters follow him even though he’s done everything possible to destroy america! wake up! one more thing, when trump said,” i can shoot someone on 5th ave and still get there votes”! do you know that he’s saying his supporters are so stupid or in a cult, that he can do anything, and say anything and you will still vote for him? trump also said in a news article in early 90s, ” that if i ( trump) would run for president i would run as a republican, because they follow fox, are stupid, and easy to manipulate “, so who really is blinded by a evil man and doesn’t releize it? susan smith says february 4, 2021 at 9:51 pm you do realize that wanting to fundamentally change america means you don’t love it, right?! i mean, this should not be hard to understand. the country was created by the people, for the people not for the washington elite to lord it over us and turn us into a socialist (and probably communist) nation. stop making it about trump and think outside the box. what about the issues??? and stop saying trump told them to attack the capital, he said no such thing. in fact, he said to be peaceful. oh, you didn’t know? must be watching too much cnn. they cut that part out. biden has been in office for two weeks, and i made a list today of at least 10 lies he, the media, pelosi and aoc have already been caught in. big lies. so stop acting like democrats are saints: they are the most hateful, divisive people i have ever witnessed. back to the issues: a christian should never vote for anyone who not only condones, but gleefully celebrates the right to kill 800,000 innocent babies a year. that i have to even explain that to you is appalling, and shows the selfishness of american christians who only think of how things affect them. you will complain about children at the border or police brutality, but you never seem to acknowledge the acts of injustice that got those people were they are in the first place. that does not mean i think the children should suffer or cops should be able to do whatever they want, but god’s commandments matter. as for the poor children at the border, at least they still have a chance! imagine the outrage if we took illegals, lined them up and shot them?! would this be humane? but most people, including christians, have more compassion for dogs than for unborn babies. it’s sickening. and don’t even tell me joe biden is a man of personal moral character, because he isn’t. so dont’ bother going there, because democrats are the biggest hypocrites of all complaining about trump when you have elected immoral characters for years! why are you concerned with trump’s personal sin when you clearly don’t care that democrats want to institutionalize and moralize sin, forcing it on everyone? god says there are two sexes and one race. god says he created one man for one woman. god says to obey the government and pray for your president. (i doubt many people do this.) democrats want to take away our freedom of speech, religion and the right to bear arms (for the purposes of protection). they want to do this because that is how they establish a state government is by taking away all other opinions and voices. this does not sound like freedom to me, it sounds like tyranny. joes biden has spent his first two weeks writing more exective orders than any president in history, and taking away jobs from the american people, banning fracking (which he lied about), shutting down the gas and oil industry, which will cripple us with gas prices, refusing to finish the wall (yet putting one up around the capitol)…so who does he care about protecting??? abusing our military, and trying to intimidate them. and let’s not forget calling for unity while bringing up white supremacy and racism every day. 75k to 80k people in this country who votes for trump are being labeled nazis, domestic terrorists, white supremacists, bigots, racists, everything else under the sun…and have been for 4 years. we have been threatened in the public square, thrown out of restaurants, violent riots have been encouraged and justified, and trump supporters have been beaten in the streets. yeah, i’m pretty sure jesus approves of that. then the one time a small fraction of idiots gets out of hand, and you all act like all hell has broken loose. i’m sorry, i don’t approve of everything either party does…and in fact, i’m actually an independent…but i have no respect left for the leaders of the democrat party. i don’t know how anyone does. jack waus says january 23, 2021 at 4:02 pm sweeping generalisations make you sound like a moron which is why liberals tend to call republicans idiots. you obviously haven’t been to a university in the us or you would know that the vast majority are wealthy and right wing leaning and certainly don’t hate america   they love it just as it is   they can stay rich and the poor can stay poor just the way the forefathers didn’t want it. b'rock says january 23, 2021 at 4:44 pm yes. but you clearly have no idea what a true liberal is. every bit of freedom we love is based on classical liberalsm. paul lee says january 26, 2021 at 3:00 pm liberalism??!! nope it’s according to only the lefties, democrats, and haters, of america!! liberalism is all to do, with democrats, ruining american lives, our freedoms, and horrible socialism!!! it will make america horrible as the communism, is upheld along with socialism!! it will be very very scary, in our future, if we do not take a right stand, supporting our constitutional freedom, pro life and for president trump!!! president trump was a great, terrific president, he knew, what to do, as a president, and he supported, our freedoms, here, at home land, u. s. a.!!! god bless, the usa!!! randy says january 24, 2021 at 1:18 am i agree with all that you said. horrible times are coming under this blue wave. but these people would stay in a burning building and think it’s a cook out if cnn told them. you and l see what hell is coming. they dont. they actually think these politicians and the media and the establishment cares. randyisoverparty says february 9, 2021 at 4:48 pm #randyisoverparty2021 tomt says january 24, 2021 at 7:15 pm those who know they are wrong and want to destroy all that is good with lies will call themselves “anonymous”. paul lee says january 25, 2021 at 3:01 pm yes sir, or ma’am thank you, you’re right on, and we need to imprison joe biden, kamala harris, and nancy pelosi!!!!! she’s taking away our freedom, and along with that socialist joe biden. “we the people” stand originally, for freedom with “us”. but really we need to uphold our constitution. and, freedom, god, has blessed us with!! sorry, but i’m trying to help spread the public, with about nancy polosi’s socialism, is not going to work!! it will be scary, if we keep joe biden in our, white house!!! he is, a socialist!!! let’s run socialism and communism, out and democrats, out, locked up with out perole!!! under prison!! he will continue to mess us up and raise gas prices, and everything will be a war!!! please, vote, next again supporting president trump, he’s who, we need!!! u . s. a. !!! jerry says january 29, 2021 at 3:54 pm who are you people, this is just a weird thread of ridiculous hate and paranoia. half the people get their misinformation from one set of sources and the other half from another set. i am old enough to remember when democrats and republicans didn’t go to war against one another and we got our news from walter kronkite or huntley brinkley at 6:30 our problem seems to be too much unreliable information. do your homework, take the time to verify from a variety of accountable sources before you speak. ken turner says january 20, 2021 at 1:16 pm idiot. all witchcraft is of the earth and the earth is satan’s. if you believe in the sanction of marriage  you can not enact love spells. the sauducees and pharisees told jesus you cannot cast out devil’s with more devil’s. you’ve been fooled. paul lee says january 25, 2021 at 3:11 pm mr., are you, a weirdo homosexual??!! well, your review, is implying that you’re against marriage, and you making you sound like that you’re a weirdo. by that review, you wrote, and by that, guys who, “get together” isn’t marriage, even if they have a so called wedding. i’ll tell you, please, do not go, against marriage!! it’s only, between a man and a woman! only always!! and you’ll be glad you did, and it can make you happy. so i have always liked my opposite gender, as only we should! i like sweet girls. the lord god, only intended it this way, to not be weirddos nor homosexuals. forbidding to marry, or anything. we are made for each other like a man and woman, only!! i’m just helping to spread the logical good things, in life, thank you. good day! anonymous says march 9, 2022 at 10:19 pm why do you hate gays? paul lee says january 25, 2021 at 3:33 pm ken, i’m sorry but you’re wrong about that. well the king james bible says, jesus was the son of god. he is and we live here and he also dwells inside us, if we’re baptized christians, and live right. so, people don’t have the authority, to cast out devil’s, or demons. were not demonized, today, anyway. today, we are blessed!! today, we are not devil possessed nor anything, like that. the bible is the word of god. jesus is lord. please read the bible. it’s based on non denominational, beliefs, and knowledge. truth, that was inspired by the word of god, our savior. we now days have blessings and not miracles. we are blessed to have the king james bible, from the correct sources to get the bibles, from. and we do not have demons, or devil’s today. we have also to first, hear the word of god and believe, and then desire to be baptized, totally, immersed into pure water! it’s the way to become as christians, as part of what i’ve written. we have to live aright and faithfully, continuing to live as a christian. we have the 5 steps of salvation. hear. believe. repent and confess, jesus is god’s son. baptized, then live faithfully, according to the promises, of god, and as a christian. we live daily, in prayers and to help spread the gospel. we are a church of christ, who, rightfully believe, are living without fear, of going to hell, after judgement day. jesus, his angels will come back someday! i am also trying to help you. if you will read, the king james bible. it’s the only way that we can get to heaven, someday. i appreciate it. thank you, sir. i enjoy helping people. it’s my job. anonymous says january 25, 2021 at 5:28 pm ken i thought you wanted to not show hate from either side. witches and other pagans don’t believe in the concept of satan. i’m pretty sure the person you are insulting is just a spammer. also pagans believe in accepting others and respecting the religious faith of others regardless if believe their faith or not. what happened to the golden rule.? hare says january 21, 2021 at 3:34 pm really?? people will make up anything to try and rip people off of money. get a real job!

(art of a deal maker…paying for sex then having to pay $130,000 more!!) he committed adultery with his current porn model wife when she was still nursing baron. he has a list of more than twenty women who have stated trump has raped or sexually attacked them. they have not had their justice in court. yet, trump was out using bill clinton’s cheating (that he was impeached for and has had other court cases for his sins) to attack hillary clinton. she was a “victim” and was lied to her by her husband. that is what cheaters do as bill and donald. one can go on and on, but donald j. trump was impeached, and there is no evidence that the election was a fraud or cheating took place. all states (republican and democrat) certified their elections were accurate…and trump lost more than 60 cases, and with the sc   all cases were thrown out of court. he had no valid evidence. he lost by more than 8,000,000 votes! he lost the ec. but, he did break records on his popular vote….but so did joe biden. the fact is   the american people (both democrats and republicans) wanted a change and tired of trump’s self centered, egotistical, and always himself before the country and the amerian people. he, in fact, built his campaign on the fact he said american was not great! now, he incited a seditious domestic terrorist attack on our democracy. how did that make america great? but, so many believe the kookaid he distributes. democrats put country first, not a man. we put the constitution first   not a man. we put facts first   and not the conspiracy theories of the republican party, that i was once a member of….but has been crumbling under the trump administration. katrina says january 22, 2021 at 9:41 pm please provide solid proof for each of your comments you’re repeating the same old diatribe. i’d be open to anything you can prove based on unbiased, factual information, studies, research, etc…think independently and educate yourself instead of being a lemming. try being an individual versus conformist. it’s easy for people to be indoctrinated on propaganda, disinformation, censorship, and blatant prevarication. tomt says january 24, 2021 at 7:35 pm i’m not dem or rep. i just hope that while the lunatic dems are in control they will legalize meth. this is the only way i can put up with all this political garbage. please don’t reply to this if you don’t know more about this subject han i. thankyou youcan'tstopmefromspreadinggoodstuff says february 15, 2021 at 11:10 am how could he be a white supremacist when he is orange?also, your statement about democrats putting their country first instead of a man is completely false.joe biden has not done anything useful as president and only helps the democrats to gain money.also,most of those were not trump supporters that attacked the capitol.the proof?the police actually acted freindly towards them and let them inside until they realized that some of the people in the crowd were actual, peace loving trump supporters and proceeded to attack them. me says january 20, 2021 at 10:01 pm more like dumb and ignorant republicans this idiot who wrote the letter has no freaking clue what liberals want or aspire to. all u conservs r jealous petty ppl and thank goodness trump is gone hes crazy just like u ppl toltekayoyl native son of these lands says january 21, 2021 at 1:04 am oh i see your are sucking on his 2″ er as well you idiots fear that you will be living in poverty like the white south africans. hmm what car we ill i be inherenting chump? sadie says january 21, 2021 at 2:24 am prezzie trump, was never a politcian he was a leader, who spoke the truth and was not afraid of the consequences. a breathe of fresh air but too much for the snowflakes and swamp to handle. hopefully, all the traitorous senators, that voted to impeach will all lose their re,elections. fingers crossed! now we can look forward to 4 years of the pandering sycophant, trojan horse, doing his masters (obama’s ) bidding. sad and soooo bad for america.. katy says january 23, 2021 at 6:51 pm dude lied 29500 times during his presidency….learn the facts ignorant fool jim says january 21, 2021 at 5:06 pm agreed. biden’s name should be changed to lie den. a senile old man who will croak in office and then we have to deal with his california vice president. good luck with that! tom says january 24, 2021 at 7:44 pm harris president? that is so scary i would offer free suicide tips for those who would rather die than see a country they love be ripped to pieces by a crazed white people hating racist who has no idea why she hears little voices in her head. daniel cypser says february 2, 2021 at 1:20 pm how the democratic party still exists is beyond me. i use to ask my dad this question in high school and i’ve yet to get an answer i could understand. why vote for someone who lies cheats steal and kills and takes away your rights? /what have they done that’s positive in past 30yrs???? i’m not expecting an answer because i already know it. jack💩 jane doe says february 9, 2021 at 5:10 pm i’m so excited for generational turnover 💃💃💃💃 paul lee says january 25, 2021 at 3:43 pm yes!! thanks, the toilet water and dung, are what joe biden and kamala harris need for horrible food/and drink!! they are idiots like nancy pelosi!!! trying to give u. s. a socialist country!!! thank you, great applause, bow down!!! then stand up america, usa!!! republican and freedom, blast out socialism!!!!! trump, yes sir!! deb says january 11, 2021 at 12:27 pm trump was the best president this country has ever seen he delivered on every promise he made. what happened in dc was not his fault but it lets those jackass dems know what the riots were like in seattle, chicago where people businesses were burned to thee ground nothing was made on that score. i fear for americans that voted for the jackass of biden and harris he is weak and too old he will be run over by everyone and she harris is a nightmare. everyone coming over the border get your guns ready and plenty of ammo we are going to need it you have to protect yourself and your family. i just need my government to stay out of my business my insurance i just need them to protect me thats it plain and simple. god has turned his back on america we legalize abortion which is murder you just have people that were not taught right from wrong do not believe in anything or any consequences, legalize gay marriages everything that is wrong is now right and what has been right is no wrong. god help america but he has i believe turned his back all the great natiions have fallen from within and america will to its just closer than you think mike says january 11, 2021 at 9:26 pm you’re thoughts are perfectly sane your opinions are 100% equal to mine but the important part is that i am canadian and our liberal leaders are destroying canadian culture heritage. they even tore down our first prime minister’s statues its insane to believe that their is this many crazy people in our countries. both nations are already at war and loosing. we just don’t want to admit it. keep safe 🙏 jon says january 19, 2021 at 3:31 am youor canadian culture is based on carrying out genocide against the aboriginals. you used to be a colony of the uk, and now you are a colony of the united states. so much for candian culture. james says january 11, 2021 at 9:44 pm yes deb, among all the other promises, ”not actually kept,” mexico has not paid for any section of the border wall, and millions of americans have instead of having been able to get ”beautiful’ healthcare insurance, have been stripped of hc coverage. i will give trump a pass on his promise that he would be to busy to play golf during his presidency. once you come to realize someone is full of shit, there is no point in being unreasonable and holding them to their word. back to the ballgame for me ! jeff says january 15, 2021 at 9:52 am you are a idiot and can’t even think how good this country was before the racist democrats and their hateful groups started tearing down and destroying everything the country stands for. burning our flags and hurting the people who put their lives on the line everyday to protect us . we are headed for a lawless country run by radical idiots . i say love this country or leave it. logan says january 16, 2021 at 10:56 pm when it was said that mexico will pay for the wall it was said to be implied that mexico was going to pay the people who build the wall on the us side of the border.. mexico pays for the wall indirectly as sense we have increased the security of the border mexico and other nations have assisted in preventing migrants from traveling to the us to abuse the refugee process claiming there lives are threatened after passing through several perfectly safe countries showing they are all migrating for economic reasons and there is a line for that with over a million approved to come in legally every year. we do not have the ability to construct the needed infrastructure and fill it with qualified people to work in things like schools, fire, police, etc for more then a million people a year. unchecked immigration is what leads to overcrowding in classrooms and high crime rates and large populations in conditions of relative poverty in the country. why don’t you stop looking at the world and wishing it was fair and heaven on earth as you alone think it should be and should be forced on everyone, even if they don’t believe in anything you do. try to think it through, how do you go from what we have now to what you would like and just what you need to do in every aspect of life to get there. bulldoze all the homes and replace them with identical section 8 housing? have the workers own the means of production but somehow still organize to achieve any actual objective? how do you enforce that? would you just get everything actually being in the control of the government and whoever happens to be heading the institution that tells everything what to do? government is not a god, it can never do what you think it can, and people are not going to just get along because you think they all should. you idealized forced human civilization will do nothing but enslave everyone to a few in power after a war kills off most the human population that fight this delusional socialist attack on prosperous stable societies where you were allowed to live and let live but demanded all other conformed and obeyed your will. not mincing says may 31, 2022 at 3:00 pm eejit,….. steve bannon was pardoned by fat donnie, after he stole millions from gullible trumpdummies to “build a wall”. build a wall around trump, then take a crap over the wall to thank him for not serving his country like a real man. little phony bone spur coward, needs to stfu. jason sethre says may 31, 2022 at 3:58 pm not believing donnie’s lies, not mincing, vlad tepic, chick a dee dee, alfredo fettucine, patton franklin, and george fillmore watson… all the same poster coming from ip address 135.180.69.32. at least if you are going to post on comments, use the same name instead of pretending to be a whole bunch of different posters. joe biden supporter says january 17, 2021 at 5:08 am exactly right, james! either way, i will not vote for a president who does not put the lives of his supporters, let alone america first, by focusing on trying to keep people safe away from the pandemic. him hosting this rally is not as much about the riots as it is about him not enforcing guidelines at his rallies during this time, and we wonder why cases are going up? by the way, i do not condone the mass gathering at this time of the blm movement, only because of the same reason of the pandemic, as well as the violence. anonymous says january 30, 2021 at 6:54 pm your health your responsibility not mine anonymous says january 17, 2021 at 1:16 pm open your other eye jan perillo says january 17, 2021 at 3:24 pm and the parents of 658 children taken and separated from them at the border are still unaccounted for! doh says january 18, 2021 at 8:50 am yes yes!! finally a sign of normalcy in this trump turned banana republic ricky says january 19, 2021 at 8:26 am america is done, stick a fork in it. just like the money left several cities and states, it will soon leave this country. once that happens their will be no one left except those that can not afford to leave . that’s what trump calls a shit hole . that’s america not believing donnie's lies says may 31, 2022 at 3:02 pm stick a fork in fat donnie, you can’t miss, grossly obese slob and pedophile! jason sethre says may 31, 2022 at 3:57 pm not believing donnie’s lies, not mincing, vlad tepic, chick a dee dee, alfredo fettucine, patton franklin, and george fillmore watson… all the same poster coming from ip address 135.180.69.32. at least if you are going to post on comments, use the same name instead of pretending to be a whole bunch of different posters. tr says january 19, 2021 at 11:11 am mexico beefs up immigration enforcement could be seen as paying for their part of the wall.. no has been stripped of health care. health care costs have went down and the economy has went up. that will soon end ams says january 20, 2021 at 11:00 pm you are so out of touch with reality. it’s like you people have been programmed to believe what you can’t see. keep thinking that all the way to the poor house< anonymous says january 21, 2021 at 10:07 pm loser hell is not for humans, or any other life says january 24, 2021 at 10:48 am i think this is the one and only intelligent statement i have seen or heard regarding these matters.. i only add this, who hasn’t set out to prove their words are not worth my time? both sides of the coin are still the same coin anyway. i’m not dem, republic social, etc. i trust myself and have made a point as long as i can remember to be as honest with myself as possible and let my heart be the strength to keep love real. which is not always so easy. but yet it is so simple when one can realize their own mistakes. no, not everyone is created equal, that is just ridiculous. yet everyone is of equal importance in this miracle called life. one cannot be without the other. if we didn’t have opposing view points the world would be flat. not at all like that square globe i have on my shelf. but to get the full view we must communicate what it is we see. like we are all standing around a huge tree. (imagine ) and the only thing we see of the tree is the part the is directly in front of us. this tree is so big that you can’t see around it. the goal is to have an accurate description of the tree. yeah, id probably climb it too, but hey. here’s another one. guy named north, guy named south, tree in the middle, guy n. faces north guy s. faces south. tree falls to the side in between them. north says it fell left, south says it fell right. now they have something to entertain themselves (guy north and guy south) with while i go fishing cuz your left right arguments bore the crap out of me. until it gets out of hand, and you all start ending life over it. wake up! you never had the power you think you had, fact check everything, really, even your coffee table., i mean the babble you’ve told yourself, i mean, if you’re so right then trying to disprove yourself shouldn’t be an issue if you’re standing on solid ground, and will actually make your argument stronger and with conviction. oh yeah, that’s to myself to. way before it was put into this comment. heres a true story, i live in new mexico, i don’t want the cartel over here, at thefuck all. the movies make them look like bunny rabbits. and i am so pissed at the way the children were separated from their parents.,the way deportees were handled omg, to my core. yes, the majority of the immigrants were with their real families, and are not the cartel. so tell me, which side am i on? because these are the truths of the wall i witness first hand. wall hahahahahaha. okay, really? a wall? omg. thats just to funny! hey i bet…. nvm, ill keep that one to myself. my bad, got carried away. me says january 24, 2021 at 10:58 am the you is everybody….. everybody anonymous says january 11, 2021 at 10:17 pm yes president trump is a great president. so sad how people can be so hateful. shame on all you hater’s. reach out and touch somebody hand and let’s make this world 🌍 a better place if we can. does anyone one remember those words. mark says january 20, 2021 at 10:43 pm a great president??? you must really love living in the worst economy since the great depression! aliname says january 24, 2021 at 11:53 pm the whole world is in economic recession, in case you haven’t realized it. that wasn’t trump’s fault, but the global pandemic. pre covid, the economy was booming. it is sad so many people lost their jobs and the lockdowns made it worse for the economy, but i support them to a degree. paul lee says january 26, 2021 at 3:14 pm nope, president trump was a great president!! don’t you all be making fun of our favorite president, so, do you, understand that democrats?! you’re doing that all wrong for the future society, we originally respect president trump!! thanks! vlad tepic says may 31, 2022 at 2:55 pm ‘president” fat donnie, never once did anything for anyone that wasn’t named trump. he’s a vicious, ignorant pedophile and likes to grab pussies, like paul lee. anonymous says january 12, 2021 at 2:04 am you’re as stupid as that dumb as trump. america as spoken! live with it! and by the way god as nothing to do with the fix we’re in. it’s all on us. anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 9:36 am god would not want the terrible riots that were only in the democratic cities or would he want people to destroy peoples live like all the business people who just opened up due to covid. i think the racism is now from the hateful other side. c mead says january 15, 2021 at 9:27 pm why does everybody now when they write a comment have to use foul language?sometimes they start off sounding intelligent and by the time they’re done with their foul language and hating everyone who does not agree with them people, they come off as street thugs with no intellect and no insight. and those people are dangerous to the country. wonder how many of these people have actually served in the military i’ll bet most of them have not. but they are the first ones with any trouble arises any place in the world want the military on the job. less than 1% of you brave americans ever done a military uniform. shame on you and i’m talking about women as well. anonymous says january 16, 2021 at 3:36 am mexico ruined the u.s anonymous says january 17, 2021 at 7:49 pm amen brother or sister. i’ve been trapped in rural nowhere southern oklahoma for twenty long years now. the right wing conservatives are the most hateful vindictive people that i’ve ever had the misfortune of being surrounded by.the right wing thugs are purely evil. ty says january 17, 2021 at 10:38 pm god still loves morons anonymous says january 18, 2021 at 6:52 pm this must be more of that left tolerance? crystal says january 19, 2021 at 5:10 am bifch i wasnt heard and i did not speak biden give it time then u go ahead and call people dumb. u are a disgrace and exactly what the left is about cause u aint right anonymous says january 20, 2021 at 12:52 pm did you live with it the last 4 years? delaney says january 20, 2021 at 1:50 pm huh?!?!? me says january 20, 2021 at 10:02 pm here here! these dumb republicans have no damn clue how we think and they believe bs all the time just so sad we have so many idiots here anonymous says january 21, 2021 at 8:54 pm democrats and liberals calling every conservative republican a xenophobic, racist, homophobic, white supremacist; i’ve heard it over and over…. i’ve never been called so many names in my life. democrats/liberals are the ones burning churches, fighting in the streets, watching small businesses die for political gain. where is the humanity in that? the media supports all of it, as long as it hates on president trump or a conservative belief. conservatives care about having a free country for our children’s children. one where anybody can own a successful business… and say what they want, not be condemned, like conservatives have been, more and more. it’s truly sad. how can democrats claim equality with such a huge double standard. what you mean is: equality  (disclaimer: only for people who think like we do). i have seen hatred growing on a group of people, and it’s not a color… it’s people of certain beliefs. anonymous says january 23, 2021 at 12:36 pm i wonder if trump will be found guilty of inciting the capital erection! paul lee says january 26, 2021 at 3:17 pm yeah, the stupid democrats! are ruining, america, why??!! yes god does have, to do with us, he is real. god made us in his image!! anonymous says january 12, 2021 at 2:08 am sure he was! that’s why he was re elected! lol! daniel stovell says january 12, 2021 at 2:12 am no. the entire world sees trump as he really is.. the worst president in history. racist, misogynist, economically incompetent. a bully. totally self centred. completely lacking in any sense of morality. zero compassion. divisive… need i go on? but you’ll hear only what you want to hear.. the man is guilty of inciting insurrection and treason. shot or hanged was the penalty for that not so very long ago. stop the steal says january 17, 2021 at 8:17 pm trump was the best president ever!!! biden is the racist   even referred to as black children as roaches. economic incompetency??? trump???? with record low unemployment!! self centered & a bully   have you seen the bs the dems have put him through for the last 4 hrs?? biden is a mental case & camel slept her way to the top (with a married senator). paul lee says january 26, 2021 at 3:27 pm biden, along with kamala, the socialist, and nancy pelosi, are all our enemies, as americans!! we, need freedom! freedom to stand as a great free country. they will not make me, have socialism, nor communism!!! we, deserve, much better respect, and freedom of as a republican, home land. those socialists, are the ones taking our lives, away!! they need the pin!! lock the keys up, weld them shut, then, ship them to north korea!!! to teach the democrat socialists, how they feel!!!!! anonymous says april 7, 2021 at 10:45 am trump has had 5 bankruptcys. just keep that in mind. cheers! jennifer says january 17, 2021 at 9:41 pm no, not the world. just you who listen to what big media tells you. they leave out all the good he has done. some people can’t do their own research. trump may be crass but he made a lot of corrupt politicians nervous! shelley says january 17, 2021 at 10:26 pm how about some specific examples? sounds like your just repeating what main stream media is constantly saying. back it up lori says january 18, 2021 at 6:34 pm whoah someone has had waaay to much of the koolaid. connie teague says january 20, 2021 at 5:30 am lowest unemployment in our history. wages rising faster for working people not executives. tax savings for working people. arab countries actually working with israel. nickie halley at the un. nato countries beginning to pay for their own defense. no new war!, our troops are out of the middle east. bet biden has troops committed in the first 2 years. north korea thinking about working with the rest of the world. business and manufacturing jobs coming home from foreign lands. the fastest growth in economy ever. more jobs for non european citizens, more jobs for women. and how you can ignore all the above is unbelievable, and seems intentional and politically motivated. or simply intolerant, uninformed. s. shelby says january 20, 2021 at 12:21 pm i saw very first hand how president trump delivered his promises and made a difference to me, my friends and family. first president in my 62 years that ever improved my life. i voted for obama. then i watched my neighbors loose their homes in the 2008 era depression because he protected the banks and not the people. i work in re finance for a “big bank”. what should have been done wasn’t. trump saved homes for the people, not the banks in this pandemic. this is not an opinion, it’s a fact. by forcing banks to suspend mortgage pmts instead of bailing out the banks, no one i worked with lost their family home. trump is a savior to the average american. saddened he did not get to continue his presidency as the future of our country is in weak hands today. kevin says january 28, 2021 at 11:34 am so let get this straight, you are putting obama on the hook for the ’08 financial crisis that was in full swing since 2000? thats real smart lol joanie says january 21, 2021 at 12:09 am you are sick for saying shot or hanged it reminds me of when they killed jesus and jesus was not the guilty party. trump did not deserve to have his words twisted by deceptive people when anyone who has a brain knew he meant no harm to anyone. he did not cause hate. the seven deadly sins caused hate. there was pride, wrath, envy, greed, lust, gluttony, slothful and democrats displayed those in high volumes compared to trump from what i saw. i saw that trump cared about america i didn’t see that the democrats cared about anything other then getting trump. the democrats wasted four years attacking our president then they’ blame him for hate. they reminded me of spoiled children who were not going to let anybody else get attention and made everyone else suffer so they can have their way. super sick my opinion based on 4 years of watching him be attacked over stupid word manipulation taking what he said out of context dan sterling says january 21, 2021 at 4:08 am you’re about as dumb a human as i can ever imagine meeting. opinions are like but holes, everyone has one and they all stink, yours is no different. opinions aside, trump did things that were in the best interest of americans, the dimwitocrats want to do things that are in the best interest of illegal immigrants and foreign terrorist powers. bitehead is talking about taking down the border wall to allow a massive increase in the flow of drugs and crime into the us. that’s what the f the dimocrats want, they want to see natural born americans killed off to make room for their dirtbag drug cartels that are paying them off. mike says january 12, 2021 at 9:14 am god bless president trump. the commie biden and the whore will never be our president antiametican trash if we don’t spend our money and don’t support companies who don’t support our descent law abiding politicians if they loose enough money might wake up to see what we the people stand for. freedom. god please bless america we need your help anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 9:05 pm will said joseph citizenza says january 16, 2021 at 12:56 pm when companies make decisions which appear to favor or appease the left its not done w/o thought or consideration. they look at the different outcomes that are realistically possible, weigh their options, and choose the one with the most favorable cost/benefit ratio. the fact is the most valuable customers & clients support the decisions that they’ve made. so if you dont then that ought to tell you how important your business is. (not very it seems.) this is likely due to two factors… 1. there are far more ppl in the us, and around the world, who do not agree w/ your views or see/feel the same way you do. yours is a minority opinion. 2. generally ppl on the left earn more, and have more disposable income than ppl on the right. and that is due to more ppl on the left obtaining advanced degrees that make them qualified for positions that pay a lot more. (thats why federal tax revenue collected by blue states has to be used to subsidize red states, because red state’s govs wouldn’t be sustainable otherwise.) anonymous says january 17, 2021 at 4:45 am whore !!!! so you only bless who you think is worthy of god!? you’re a hypocrite ! i don’t agree with you but i hope god blesses you! i don’t know you but i still want you to be happy and healthy!! not everyone is left or right. i care about people and trying my best to understand where any person is coming from. to point fingers and bash people doesn’t get anything accomplished. hating doesn’t get anything accomplished !! we all suffer ! jan perillo says january 17, 2021 at 3:29 pm yeah . . . just your words alone tell your story   and tell the real story of why this wonderful country is in the shape it is. just your first sentence alone tells me what a piece o **** you and your “we the people” sorry souls are. trumppieceofshit says january 19, 2021 at 6:06 am yeah just like a trump supporter to not know anything just make up whatever you feel like making up without knowing any facts, just say whatever you feel like the truth should be and that’s that completely forgetting the fact that trump added to the debt another $7 trillion dollars fact, but you talk about democratics spending money right you don’t even know what you’re talking about mike bennett says january 12, 2021 at 9:24 am i don’t recognize my country anymore as left wing groups and corporations decide who can speak freely and who can’t. we can never be united as a country if half the people can’t express their views without being bullied, harassed and pulled off platforms. joe biden supporter says january 17, 2021 at 5:14 am when freedom of speech and gathering has the potential to harm others, it is no longer freedom of speech. as long as your freedom does not heavily impact the freedom of others to practice their freedoms, then you are fine, but with the social media platform doing what it did, i heavily support that. why do i support that? who knows what that freedom of speech could have led to in further possible riots and super spreader events. people working at the capitol (police, secretaries, and yes even politicians, etc) were in danger of possible harm, so when one’s words can lead to what we saw, that is when the government has to step in. if you came to my house to protest, do you think i am not going to call the police to have you escorted or arrested, especially if i fear for my life? i will do that if i have to, because it impacts my freedom to live in my house peacefully and happily. it’s almost the same concept here, only in that scenario, you are impacting my freedom by deciding to do that. tomt says january 24, 2021 at 8:08 pm liar, if i disagreed with you, you would have me shot or hung. democrats turned me into a hater, just like blacks made me racist by their actions. hate rules!! without my hate you would not have your love. buahahahaha jerry says january 12, 2021 at 10:15 am wonder if you feel different now that the capital was over run by white people, only white people. if you are in a group protesting and everyone around you looks like you, might be a bad sign. i’m sure we all know a person who doesn’t know shit is lazy as hell and gets away with it cause they point fingers at others keeping people distracted. that’s trump. trump told and showed america that he cares more about himself than anyone including you. how many acts of violence can be contributed to trump. trump stole tax payer money, trump indirectly lead to hundreds of thousands of americans dying from covid, trump allowed russia to target our troops hack our government and meddle in our elections and not only did he not do shit, trump and republican worked behind the scenes to lift sanctions on russia. raised taxes on the middle class, openly racist comments, gave his children security clearances even thought the fbi said he shouldn’t, what have they done with that clearance ? maybe you know. 15 acts of mass murder in our country were contributed to his speeches. pressured other countries to help personally in business and politics. use a foreign dignitaries to make up fake info on americans to help his election. i’m from ny yeah trumps home town that he didn’t get 10% of the vote his hometown. there is a reason for that. i know trump is garbage , but what is your excuse? anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 2:19 pm you are a moron. anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 6:48 pm so here we are 3 days after this post…and ‘obamagate’ has been released…open your eyes…the president was set up, by the dems. now maybe you can point the finger at the offending party and leave us trump supporters alone. rhonda says january 15, 2021 at 7:13 pm and when the usa ends up looking like venezuela, you’ll be the first asking”what went wrong”? democrats are all in for themselves as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. maybe when you grow up and have a little bit sense, the world will be a bit more clear to you. anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 8:32 pm you sir are an idiot. just like obama is an idiot. trump lowered taxes and reduced needless regulation. when welfare queen kamala shuts off your power keep your ignorant mouth shut. if you like socialism so much move your lazy a$$ to venezuela and write me a big check so i can sit home. liberals are idiots! mw says april 11, 2021 at 5:31 am ok who side u in i’m kinda confused didn’t know satan needs to give light to us because from what i know solarpanells need the sun or air or moon or water etc… satan is a copy cat like all the presents fools that are used like sodomy tools with there filthy twisting bibles none of the evil will be of god no transgender wicked filthy smelling buttlicker like this under ground rock give them drugs and watch how they snicth on eachother like crazy let them they are going to gash at there teeth they are lazy rats now the real good people of god are here and we got it now haha haha are nothing but rats and peasants remember that ifor all evil is going to get destroy repear collecting there souls in the name of jesus christ and the holyghost amen finish done. anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 9:28 pm someone somewhere on this site talk like an intelligent person instead of a gang member?j paul lee says january 26, 2021 at 3:43 pm yes, me, right?!, i’m know how to spell, write and read, very well. democrats, don’t, because, they don’t teach anything, but bad lies and spread socialism, please read: republicans, are for freedom, along with smart answers, on how, to run america! the way it was written in the good, old american history books, as the way we were, originally founded, soon, as a great american nation!! schools, sorry to say, are run by liberals, as lies to socialism, and communism! it’s scary, sad and horrible! go read, learn, read the american history books,and please support trump, as president! be republican pro american, your freedom, will thank you. you’ll be happier! i’m against those democratic type gang members, who murder, steal and stuff. good day. ty says january 17, 2021 at 10:44 pm check your facts ty says january 17, 2021 at 10:50 pm jerry needs to start reading more & check his facts. your excuse is sad & reaching with the evil democraps pulling the wool over your eyes. god bless you & wish you live forever in this hell you have created. robert dyer says january 18, 2021 at 5:06 pm r. dyer jerry, you’re full of it. trump’s the best president we’ve had. he built america, substantiated it at the borders, established a strong economy, and sent the terrorist, that obama allowed to multiply, to their rest. we became a strong country, but the democrats came in with this so called virus, multiplied the anxiety that closed down the country, and it brought on the clowns, like you, to blame trump for the past year of economical decline. what’s your excuse? are you just blind or dumb? paul lee says january 26, 2021 at 3:52 pm thanks for your supporting mr, president trump!! i appreciate that you said that! neat. and he has really been a great president, trump was even better than reagan, i’ve heard, mentioned! president trump,was my all time favorite one, ever!!!! those lying socialists, need to be held accountable, for rigging the 2920, election. trump originally won but those idiot socialist democrats cheated!!! sir, thank you, for supporting president trump. he will always, be my favoritest, bestest, president, in history!!! i appreciate that. always will. we need trump!! paul lee says january 26, 2021 at 3:55 pm so sorry, i meant “2020”, not 2920! i apologize for that. thanks! crystal says january 19, 2021 at 5:12 am i wasnt heard and i did not speak biden give it time then u go ahead and call people dumb. u are a disgrace and exactly what the left is about cause u aint right anonymous says january 19, 2021 at 1:56 pm my governor big grech lead 3000 people to their deaths ,inmich ,sameness as nyc anti social ist says january 20, 2021 at 10:55 am you misspelled biden, everything you just made up is cnn bs. do you have any direct proof, or is it all what you’ve seen on cnn? proof of stolen taxpayer money? the clearance for his kids, the ones that actually worked for the government during his term…russia hoax??? you sound dumber than the clintons do. zero racist comments, actually denounced racism over 100 times on camera. prove one act of mass murder, i’ll wait. haha! pressured other countries…biden, you remember the whole bribery for hunter thing right?!?! no one cares that you live in ny, that’s a communist state and everyone there deserves what they vote for. president trump did more for the american people that the last 5 democratic presidents, unless apologizing to japan for ww2 is your idea of “for the people”. careful jerry, your ignorance is showing. better tighten up that antifa mask, put on your “i don’t know what gender i am” t shirt and finish masturbating to a picture of pelosi. tool joanie says january 21, 2021 at 12:25 am the va hospital improvements were way better once trump was in office i can send pictures and stories of how much the vets got better health care with trump in office than ever before at least in texas anyway and our vets deserved better sandy says january 12, 2021 at 11:57 am fully agree. the best way to reflect our lack of support for this charade is to ignore biden and his so called inauguration! avoid all lame stream stories. anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 9:06 pm will said anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 9:08 pm let’s pray for our country annoying says january 17, 2021 at 9:57 am when or better yet, deployments, what will they be fighting for? what they thought was democracy, now look like socialism or some other form of government. with biben/harris  elect, i don’t know! it’s scary…. communism. in 1969, i was that teenager, in college. studying.,.. thought i would all ways be free. is this a biden/harris t. r. i. c. k? joan says january 12, 2021 at 12:33 pm the democratic platform speaks for itself and those who voted for it are the ones that have caused god hand to be taken from it and many of them call themselves christians and are running our churches. but, then, according to the parable of the seed, only one in four, who hear the word truly become rooted and grounded in the word. i just pray, that god will continue to glorify his name through his remnant. xxxx says january 15, 2021 at 1:21 pm amen !!!!! joseph citizenzaa says january 16, 2021 at 1:03 pm remind us, what was the republican’s platform this election..?? oh that’s right, they didnt even bother to throw one together   because worshipping trump & being loyal to him at all cost, no matter what he says or does, are now the only defining principles of republicanism. nothing proud about that at all. anonymous says january 19, 2021 at 2:33 am this is truly hard to understand i know deep down in my soul that trump was in office because god put him there for his reasons,i think he was the best president most honest he really loved americans!! i knew this election was thee most important in history. my mom kept telling me i am scared they are going to be deceitful and take it away, and then america america will no longer be the same. my mom is 78 and very confused about things. she was a good mom she taught me about jesus the gift of salvation. i went to church i know everything thatis happening right now and why. so more than anything i am grateful for is my knowledge and wisdom because my family raised us to love jesus, so i told my mom well if trump makes president for 4 more yrs,i looked at it as god was giving us some more time to come back to him, and if biden wins we know whats coming .i am sorry but this is a warning to us all, when you vote i vote for my beliefs and values and who god would want in office, well there is nothing on the left side that is godly and its pure evil in this world, pray for our country our families friends the world!

judy says january 12, 2021 at 12:40 pm no our god is a good god god gives us the choice to make our own desecions what there doing to our wonderful president is horriable. god forgive them they better start praying. please don’t ever give up on. god anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 9:09 pm let’s pray for our country anonymous says january 12, 2021 at 7:00 pm b s. short and direct peter d sturtevant says january 12, 2021 at 7:04 pm all i can say to deb is, damn right!! america first!! stormy daniels says january 12, 2021 at 7:41 pm you’re dumb! kelli says january 12, 2021 at 8:22 pm i couldn’t agree with you more!!! jeremy j fabrizio says january 12, 2021 at 9:31 pm i concur. amen. shirley says january 13, 2021 at 12:15 am amen deb!!! renee says january 13, 2021 at 12:17 am i think you hit it right on the head the democrats are so hateful and so evil they have no room for anything and they don’t believe anybody can be good especially trump they’ve hated him from before he even took office they’ve given him four years of absolute hell and they’ve dish it out pretty damn good at guess because you’re still dishing it out and trying to impeach him again and they’ve got their heads up their asses and not knowing what they’re doing anonymous says january 17, 2021 at 4:58 am trump has been known for decades before he became president !! he was defrauding banks … what’s the use! i love how some of you use god for your own agenda ! i personally cannot stand the left or the right! you are all ruining our country ! god help us all!! renee says january 13, 2021 at 12:18 am i think you hit it right on the head the democrats are so hateful and so evil they have no room for anything and they don’t believe anybody can be good especially trump they’ve hated him from before he even took office they’ve given him four years of absolute hell and they’ve dish it out pretty damn good at guess because you’re still dishing it out and trying to impeach him again and they’ve got their heads up their asses and not knowing what they’re doing and i didn’t comment before so don’t tell me i did you must be a democrat joe biden supporter says january 17, 2021 at 5:20 am oh, i am not hateful, but when i see the possiblity of having to fully return to school with full classloads, before getting the vaccine, which is a possibility where i live, and i see the president still holding rallies when the other candidate is not holding as many packed rallies as him, you better believe that i will vote for joe biden. i have a family whose medical conditions can be heavily affected by this virus, and i cannot afford to play russian roulette with my family’s lives hoping that i do not catch covid. so, yes, i am a proud joe biden supporter and i will say it out loud as many times as i need to, with the push for back to school immediately being nearly forced by trump’s administration and our state itself (texas), i will not hesitate to say that i do not support the gop at this time. anonymous says january 13, 2021 at 7:50 am it’s like a bee trying to explain why honey is better than feces to a fly. it will never register with the fly, regardless of logic. liberal democrats are painfully naive. george myers says january 15, 2021 at 10:38 am republican voters are painfully vacuous, and brainwashed by rupert murdoch and rush limbaugh. unable to think and formulate their own opinions on any subject. thinking is just too time consuming and exhausting (that’s why you didn’t like school, remember?). it’s much easier to just turn on faux news. rupert has a patent on fake news. he’ll save you the time and effort. who hides behind anonymous? who hides behind fake christianity? joseph citizenza says january 16, 2021 at 1:33 pm oh, if you only knew how ironicly naive that analogy is! files are opportunistic, they’ll eat whatever sources of food they find available. they dont prefer feces, its jst a readily available food source. flies can’t chew so that is why they go for decaying matter which can easily be broken down by their saliva into small liquid bits they can ingest. they dont have the ability to taste because they dont have taste buds   but they can smell, because smell helps them detect the kind of rotting matter they rely on. uktimately whatever food source is readily available works for them because they eat food to survive, not for taste. (they lack both the cognitive capability & senses required to enjoy a dining experience the way ppl can.) so there is no point in a fly risking its life by entering a bee hive to get some honey to eat when there are countless food sources all over that pose no risk to them at all. but they’ll chow down on some honey if its just left in a cup unattended. oh, and they also drink nectar frm flowers too. thats more or less the extent of my knowledge on that subject though.. being the naive democrat that i am. but hey, at least i dont come up with ignorant asinine analogies, errantly believing i’m saying something clever. anonymous says january 18, 2021 at 6:51 pm well said marty rutherford says january 13, 2021 at 9:10 am amen..couldnt have said it better. may god have mercy on us. anonymous says january 13, 2021 at 3:27 pm your a moron! collette desmarais says january 19, 2021 at 2:41 am > anonymous: it seems you have forgotten the lessons we all learned back in kindergarten   you know; learn to share, be nice to others, and don’t call people names! it should interest you to know that when you call someone names, it only makes you look bad. it also indicates you have no meaningful discourse to indulge in. do you really want to put yourself out there like that for all the world to see? crystal says january 19, 2021 at 5:16 am scared to post ur name when talking shit grow up no name calling . jessica pemby says january 13, 2021 at 8:01 pm can you please share when trump provided the country with the “better” healthcare program to replace obamacare? he clearly promised that. he also said that the wall was going to be paid by mexico. didn’t any cost that went to a wall in any way. we paid for all the concentration camps and the little bit of wall. the prescription drugs and homeless he promised that he actually had made deals (which we never heard about again and never seem to have gone into effect) we are not in a better situation than 4 years ago. he did not remove special interests from government. so that statement that he delivered on every promise is false. btw i’m a conservative christian and have realized that most of the people i had trust in, actually believe the claims they stood for. why don’t you get a list of every promise he made and then have a link in the next column of when he achieved it. if he wasn’t able to get to it or even if democrats or the house prevented it. then that goes to “did not complete the promise. what did you come back with? lm larsen says january 20, 2021 at 12:35 pm a major fact that you missed. trump made the banks suspend mortgage payments for strapped americans during this pandemic. saved our family home and those of several friends and family members. in 2009, obama/biden saved the big banks in the depression instead of saving our homes. my neighbors were foreclosed upon and ultimately one lost her life suffering a heart attack while moving out of her home. i had voted for obama. it sickened me. i worked for one of the “big banks” at that time. saw it all going on. trump is a savior and the first president in my 61 years to actually make a difference in our lives for the better. god bless him. molefarm says january 20, 2021 at 12:41 pm agreed. promises just ‘made’ but never kept. i don’t understand why christian evangelicals supported trump when he’s the absolute picture of immorality. very hypocritical   why is that? joanie says january 21, 2021 at 12:22 am the va hospital improvements were way better once trump was in office i can send pictures and stories of how much the vets got better health care with trump in office than ever before at least in texas anyway and our vets deserved better kerry says january 13, 2021 at 8:46 pm you sounds totally ignorant to facts and truth’s. tell me what had trump succeed at what promise kept. do we have something better than aca no. did we complete the census as required by the constitution no we have something less we have trump census falsehoods untruths. deb, did we get a job bill you know the one john bohner mcconnell promised 2010 11 12 13 14 15 no and we didn’t get it in 2016 17 18 19 2020 . trump gave us nothing. anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 9:11 pm unfortunately i’ll pray for you you didn’t see what the economy did in the last four years cut taxes you’re an idiot anonymous says january 17, 2021 at 7:55 pm amen. absolutely correct! anonymous says january 18, 2021 at 6:55 pm go to the goverment web site that list all of his accomplishments you ignoramus paul lee says january 25, 2021 at 2:22 pm ah, socialism will not work never will, never has!!!!! it’s scary, horrible, and we need president trump, not stupid, joe biden!!! kevin says january 28, 2021 at 11:36 am socialism sure as hell worked for his little wall project he wasn’t able to get mexico to pay for. but thats none of my business. imbecile. jaimero says january 13, 2021 at 10:27 pm why “we the people” cant’ de throne n. pelosi, schiff, & the long ‘like’ tails whom clearly have been found culpable of american treason? joseph citizenza says january 16, 2021 at 1:43 pm house representatives are elected by the voters in their districts. every american citizen can cast a vote for who their district representative will be, but no one has any say over who other districts choose to elect. this is basic american government 411 that is taught in elementary school. but the fact that you’d even ask that question indicates you dont even know that much about american gov/politics   so perhaps you should invest time in learning a lot more about it 1st, before weighing in on things you dont know about or understand..?? alyssa says january 14, 2021 at 5:30 am literally more than 1 in 10 americans who were alive at beginning of plague are officially dead… only a functional brain could help you comprehend why supporting a psychopathic dictator who is directly responsible for the deaths of a large portion of the citizens of the country it was supposed to run is a mistake… drinking the kool aide is special but snorting it in the quantities you obviously are will hopefully be fatal anonymous says january 17, 2021 at 10:55 am i dont think you have a good understanding of simple math. robert dyer says january 18, 2021 at 5:33 pm r. dyer jerry, you’re full of it. trump’s the best president we’ve had. he built america, substantiated it at the borders, established a strong economy, and sent the terrorist, that obama allowed to multiply, to their rest. we became a strong country, but the democrats came in with this so called virus, multiplied the anxiety that closed down the country, and it brought on the clowns, like you, to blame trump for the past year of economical decline. what’s your excuse? are you just blind or dumb? nancy says january 19, 2021 at 10:12 pm actually if you assume 320 million people in us of a and 400,000 died of covid, that is one out of every 820 people not 1 in 10. amda says january 20, 2021 at 11:07 pm you people who like biden are either brain dead or perverts like the left nadeem wardak says february 3, 2021 at 7:51 pm so many, if i could say to millions, long live donald j trump. my support to u and the rest of republic family anonymous says june 20, 2021 at 1:22 pm amda, you nailed it. knstanley says january 14, 2021 at 7:16 am have faith god is with america and the world is also with america god will help all people to work on these human rights voting is a sacred right in its self and must be free and fair but we must have faith that each person will learn.wisdom as the holy spirit will witness seek faith and righteousness god never forsakes people nations see how much better we each can be anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 9:12 pm amen and amen and god have mercy on us anonymous says january 14, 2021 at 9:22 am your right on. we nead to sever the head of the snake anonymous says january 14, 2021 at 11:56 am well said, i agree. cc says january 14, 2021 at 1:26 pm then why don’t you leave! sandy says january 14, 2021 at 5:00 pm we are facing evil and must face it with facts and help the public see real news. not the lying reports that delete all of the positive information and appeal to emotion through manipulation of facts. the public is uniformed and needs to sources to learn from. learning more history would also increase their understanding. sandy says january 14, 2021 at 5:01 pm we are facing evil and must face it with facts and help the public see real news. not the lying reports that delete all of the positive information and appeal to emotion through manipulation of facts. the public is uniformed and needs to sources to learn from. learning more history would also increase their understanding. anonymous says january 14, 2021 at 10:13 pm guess you love dictators. russia & north korea are accepting americans for citizens. only if you are wealthy!!! anonymous says january 14, 2021 at 10:59 pm what’s wrong with abortion? we have way more people than we can feed. i know a lady on welfare who has 14 kids. she can barely feed them and they never get enough attention. wouldn’t it be better if she only had 2 kids? how do you know god doesn’t love gay people? he created them, he must love them. i don’t want to upset you but maybe if you pray about your beliefs, you won’t feel so hopeless. i have to pray a lot, bc many things upset me about america. all the best to you. i think president trump is blamed for stuff that is not his fault. anyway, right now life is messy. hope it gets better ❤ amda says january 20, 2021 at 11:14 pm you people who like biden are either brain dead or perverts like the left. god loves all sinners gays whore munger’s killers but anyone can get forgiveness. god didn’t make people gay or transgender that’s your screwed up perverted society barbara says january 15, 2021 at 1:36 am i agree, and i know many agree!!!!! it’s exhausting. ed k says january 15, 2021 at 8:22 am i could not have said it better. america has told god to get lost and it will take care of the problems ,so god did. anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 9:46 am i totally agree. that’s why they hate trump so bad because they couldn’t do what he has done. he was making this country great again and those stupid democrats will tear it all down again. mark ellision lt. retired usmc says january 15, 2021 at 9:39 pm i challenge you to a duel. your choice of weapons, place and time. i served 11 years in the usmc, and buried many of my brothers. pussies like you deserve trump. but please leave america if you don’t want to defend it. dam coward. randy says january 16, 2021 at 7:34 pm i just saw where commiecrats are wanting to reprogram us white conservative christians. con you imagine if we said this about black muslims that mindlessly vote for commiecrats? kirk hynek says january 17, 2021 at 7:32 am the left better back off or that sleeping giant is going to wake up . 75 million pissed off americans will take care of the left . then maybe we can start listening to our maker . the devil is working over time to quietly cut all our throats love each other or face the rath of our god i pray for our children who don’t deserve to see this evil. anonymous says october 20, 2021 at 1:20 pm very true. trumppieceofshit says january 19, 2021 at 5:57 am if you think trump is the best president ever then you’re a complete moron with the intelligence of a piece of turd, i do thank trump for one thing showing us all the crazy, racist people in america that have been hiding their true feelings that have been hiding their racism their hate there unintelligent, he brought all of that to light that’s the only good thing he did leigh says january 20, 2021 at 3:30 pm “he delivered on every promise he made”. reeeeeeeaaaaaaallllllly? 6 wk paid leave? the promised health plan? special prosecutor to investigate hillary? repeal obamacare? add $20 billion for school choice? eliminate common core standards for schools? remove all undocumented immigrants? oh, and where is mexico’s check to pay for that wall? eliminate federal debt? how about the promise to release his tax returns? just typing it out doesn’t make it real. he didn’t deliver on most of his promises, and in addition, he lied to you more than twenty thousand times (!!!) during his term. that’s just what was caught on tape! i’m not gonna fight you on his character or anyone else’s, i’m just tellin’ ya that you’re delusional if you believe what you wrote about delivering on every promise. ask rudy how that promised $20,000/day went! hell is not for people says january 24, 2021 at 11:16 am hey, i came up with that idea, school of choice! really i really did! i did it for an english final. i got the first a ever i ever got in english (d’s and c’s before this ) and professor asked if she could use my idea and make it real. go for it please! now we have far less drop outs anyway. its not perfect, but it almost follows what i had outlined. yay for me! robert says january 22, 2021 at 2:42 am woe to those who call evil good and good evil! minnie       pittsburgh says january 22, 2021 at 6:51 am god bless u and president trump and america (so many should get their heads out of the sand (dirt)   president trump did so much good for this country .. does the left not see straight   democratic party is “not” the party of yrs ago   now the republican party is for the workers / unions / the every day people who want to work for what they have / we have pride in our lives   taking care of ourselves / family .. patrick p. cosgrove says may 11, 2021 at 9:57 pm dear paul, very rarely have i come across such uninformed, paranoid nonsense as you are spouting, and many other trumpies here with you. i grew up in a socialist country (england) and i have to tell you that food, roads, healthcare, libraries, museums, and politics in the major countries of europe are far superior for the public than they are over here. nobody has ever told the american people (or shown them either) precisely what a socialist country is like. it is exactly like america is today except certain things are better in europe. for example, there is a free bed awaiting any homeless person in britain. not true over here.! somehow in the american mind ‘socialism’ and communism are considered the same. i have visited many countries in my life. none of them was anything less than delightful. none of them were communist. i am a loyal, american patriot and i would never even think of living in a commie country! i will pray hard and long that god in his kindness sends you some real facts or, failing that, a new brain! anonymous says january 11, 2021 at 4:36 am all nancy pelosi does is spew hatred always!!! she shakes her shaky hand at us and points her finger in our face but she acts like a jr high school student, getting into the little pack mode with “the squad” made up of childish foreigners that shouldn’t even be in our government! the little muslim (,imuslim doesn’t deserve a captial mmarried her brother to get into our country and she’s in our congress? when will our country grow up and be like a real government? not a government of people who hate our country and making changes for their good. pelosi’s husband has interest, as does diane feinstein, and of course the biden mob family. vinson should keep her mouth shut and look at how pelosi has acted this whole 5 years. vinson is wrong about impeachment! boy does all of the democrats hate president trump, pelosi, h clinton, maxine walters, diane feinstein,and boy does the list go on, on, on and on. and whatever happens to trump for all of their hate should definitely happen to hillary clinton for all the threats she’s made agaiist republicans. the rich and famous pelosi should resign with all the democrat govenors, and mayors for their part in all the blm & antifa shenagans! no democrat stood up and stopped the devastating fires. fights with the police, the loss of business they just alll stood by and watched and i guess they thought they were being funny. our tax money should never go to fix the destruction they allowed to happen. and china needs to go for all of their interference with out government and let’s all remember the fake russian lies hillary clinton brought to the table!! and all you people can do is is look for another feather in the evil pelosi’s cap (or should i say wig), she is truly disgusting and i hope to goodness they’re all together on her new plane that we bought for her when it goes down!!! or maybe they’ll all be together and she gets a bad batch of ice cream that’s very expensive!!! nancy pelosi claims to be religous. hate drips offf of her. this is all about the clintons (always is) and what bill & donald did before trump got married. jealousy and hate always! that’s what all these women cause and all the hate will always be around because of the women; they are back biters to the end, just look that hillary calls us names, what a rich bitch! and she got her panties twisted up because trump beat her; let her know i wouldn’t ever vote for such a snob ever in my life. and now we have the biden mob family, obama and george soros!! god, what did we ever do to deserve this?? keep an eye on pelosi, she’s unstable. so hateful!! concerned citizen! julie says january 11, 2021 at 6:57 pm awesome article thank you for seeing what i see. it’s selfish and the dems are evil including the biggest one pelosi! she’s full of hate so let god judge her. thank you anonymous for your truth and the dems and there destruction of america!!!!! i hope they love socialism and what they have done to this country! anonymous says january 12, 2021 at 5:36 pm you talk about pelosi’s hate? go back and read what you just wrote. that is hate. period. don’t fool yourself, you are still going to hell no matter how much you think you arent. you are a bad person, and a disgrace to america. go fuck yourself. crystal says january 19, 2021 at 5:31 am shut the shhhhhheep up god enough out of u josh hawley says january 12, 2021 at 7:42 pm you took the train to crazy town. traitor! anonymous says january 13, 2021 at 12:26 am she’s a psycho from the beginning to the end anonymous says january 13, 2021 at 7:48 am amen!!! anonymous says january 13, 2021 at 10:15 am perfectly said. amen. god will step in! jessica pemby says january 13, 2021 at 8:12 pm try and ask yourself if you refuse to like people or if you actually have reasons for those you hate. it is amusing to read someone complain and criticize others for not liking a person and that they will refuse to ever like him, then go on and on about who you dont like (which is so many more) george soros is not in office and while i totally get that you think that he is funding a grand conspiracy, no one ever can prove it. do you know that most democrats are not all fans of every democratic polition? do you realize that every democrat is not all anti god/pro baby killing or wants to take your guns? do you actually know many democrats? sweetie, stop assuming that people are as binary as you think. you aren’t that simple, why would they be? anonymous says january 17, 2021 at 5:09 am thank you for saying this! cc says january 14, 2021 at 1:27 pm you can always leave! anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 8:53 am your prez spewed hatred all day long, every day. i call….. boo shit. stop making up your own facts, foo sadie says january 21, 2021 at 2:08 am third world immigration, in 1960 the american white population was 88.9%   late 1960;s changes in the immigration system, suggested by ted kennedy, and endorsed by the democrat party . changed the preference from european, immigrants (the host population) to that from the third world. fast forward to 2020 white, population in america, is now only 59%. in ten years, the white population will be a minority.? the host population now a minority in their own country? celebrate diversity? you would have to be stark, raving mad to celebrate diluting your own culture, religion, language and value system.. why did the democrats, set out to make the host white population a minority? simple  votes, in order to stay in power and control. poor, uneducated immigrants, that have nothing to conserve vote for a party, that will give freebies, e.g. welfare programs, social housing, free healthcare and food stamps. this mass third world, immigration has served one purpose it has allowed the democrat, party the opportunity to seize power and control on almost a permanent basis. the only way to stop the white host population from becoming the minority, is to stop all further third world, immigration and family reunification asap. biden, won’t do that as he wants more amd more votes, so america, ends up with a one party rule, same as china, russia and north korea. and a wonderful western, country, is destroyed from within! patrick p. cosgrove says may 11, 2021 at 10:03 pm dear sadie, can you tell us all what it’s like to live your life as a racist hater? please? john says january 10, 2021 at 3:05 pm i am sorry you have such a narrow view of not only trump, but the world. yes it is the american people who could make america great, but only when they can see clearly in order to do so. the democrats have slid so far left in their views, that they will lie, cheat, decieve, sensor free speech, steal, kill or anything else it takes to make you believe in their european world view. but, mark my words, we will all be sorry for giving in to this deception, for by the time we wake up, it will be too late!! . anonymous says january 11, 2021 at 6:58 pm awesome article thank you for seeing what i see. it’s selfish and the dems are evil including the biggest one pelosi! she’s full of hate so let god judge her. thank you anonymous for your truth and the dems and there destruction of america!!!!! i hope they love socialism and what they have done to this country! anonymous says january 12, 2021 at 1:35 pm googl will kil this the democrats have gondo so far left. unless you talk like pelosi or schumer, you’re done , see parler ted cruz says january 12, 2021 at 7:43 pm trump doesn’t care about you jeremy j fabrizio says january 12, 2021 at 9:33 pm i as well as many other millions of american patriots have not given up. we will not live on our knees! anonymous says january 12, 2021 at 10:11 pm truth. lockthemoon says january 18, 2021 at 9:22 am the great disgust republicans feel should be directed at pence who should have voted to check the votes, mcconnell who pressured them to accept rather than investigate the fraudulent outcome. lynn chaney earned our disgust as well. she should have been removed from leadership and the 10 who voted to impeach the president need to resign or be voted out of office. sadly, cheating worked so why would anyone bother to vote in future elections? now, we are seeing what leftist ideologies do when they come to power. it is their nature to punish those who stand between their consolidation of power and control. the most corrupt people rise to the top  godless, merciless, self serving. with nothing greater than the state to worship  they promise heaven while creating a very real hell on earth. democrats are marxist/ communist and they will soon cause great harm to america  and the world. biden is a skeleton and national security threat. the republicans who used and abandoned a lion/ trump are forever culpable. marty rutherford says january 13, 2021 at 9:30 am i’m afraid you hit the nail directly on the head. what more of a god forsaken country will we be in, in 4 yrs? i worry about us all, but my kids and grandchildren, what are they facing? it really upsets me, because we have went so far away from god, the one true god. it is frightening their souls hang in the balance, not just our country. biden harris hillary and all the hard leftist want a country without god. that part is hard to figure, there are so many places on this earth they could go that doesnt recognize god. its got to be power, to see if they can do it. satan has them all so blinded its shameful. and what s worse the so called church in this country let it happen. most if you ask them voted democrat. how could a true christian do that knowing what the left stands for. we have slid down a slope that i’m afraid there’s no return. i pray i’m wrong, but it sure is looking that way. may the one true god have mercy on us. anonymous says january 13, 2021 at 6:21 pm yes anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 9:15 pm very well said may god have mercy on us. people have such black dark evil hearts it’s so sad john kauffman says january 9, 2021 at 3:17 pm i voted trump in 2016. i was 44 years old and never before cast a vote for any politician. and, that’s mainly why i did vote for him. because, he wasn’t a politician. also, i rationalized that he had enough wealth that he likely wouldn’t be “bought” by political lobbyists. and, honestly, i liked his whole, “make america great” platform. i liked what he had to say. for the first year of his presidency, i thought i’d made a mistake. i didn’t like some remarks that he made or some of his decisions. then, i educated myself and found that his decisions were made in america’s best interests. i saw how the media, in general, was not reporting facts, but had their own agendas, instead. i saw how democrats were obsessed with bashing him and doing anything they could to get him out of office, instead of doing the job that they had been elected to do. i had to question why? what were they so afraid of? dispite the opposition and the hatred for this man, he was fulfilling his promises. he brought jobs back to the u.s. and was saving taxpayers a ton of money on needless spending and bad trade agreements. america was becoming great, again. i voted trump in 2020, mainly because i saw how the democrats would stop at nothing to destroy this man and frankly, it scared the hell out of me. if they were willing to promote riots, crash the economy, and put american lives at risk, then what else were they capable of? we found out when they undermined the whole voting process, which is what this country was founded upon. democratic voters deny this. but, we all know what happened. nobody can be that stupid. it was so obvious, it seems they really didn’t even try to hide it. i know this pisses some people off. though, i base my opinion on facts and logical thinking, this is one man’s opinion. and, that’s the point i’m trying to make. democratic voters have their points of view. republican voters have their points of view. who’s right and who’s wrong? who the hell knows? one news outlet tells you one thing while another tells you the opposite. day after day, over and over. i’m not even sure which way is up and which way is down, anymore. keep an open mind, people and, educate yourself as much as possible. and, god help us all because some shit is about to go down. one more point. we need to create term limits for seats in congress because that’s where the real problem lies. stay healthy, people. and, let’s get though this together. because, whether you’re a democrat, republican, or neither… we’re all americans. anonymous says january 11, 2021 at 6:59 pm great words marty rutherford says january 13, 2021 at 9:44 am im not trying to argue your point, but a democrat as you put it, is not american. most are totally against the constitution and the one true god, who in his grace allowed this country to become the greatest on earth, besides some of our failures. the left wants nothing more than to dissect america and turn it into a 3rd world country, so they, the left, will be all powerful. the democrat of today is not the democrat of our forefathers. they want to dissolve this country into the global economy, and rid us of our soverignty. this is not american. chris says january 14, 2021 at 7:16 am i’ve long thought that the radical left is the problem, and yes mostly they are. but where are the conservative heroes? so many grand speeches and so little action. why haven’t we seen hillary locked up in jail for obvious violations of top secret compartmentalized information. where is the investigation into epstein’s death. it isn’t coming folks. i will tell you why, because the left and the right are in bed together lining their pockets with the money we work hard to earn. all while successfully keeping us at each others throats so we don’t turn our attention to the real problem. all of them. violence is not the answer but term limits. they will never vote to have them so we must never allow an incumbent more than two terms, ever. let’s send a message at every election from now on. stop voting the same crooks back in over and over and over. please tell everyone you know, left and right to join in taking our country back from the elite by voting in real americans who want to serve their fellow citizens not rule over them. anonymous says january 14, 2021 at 12:54 pm this whole paragraph above explains the delusion that many supporters of this twice impeached president have. it is exactly like a cult. they believe anything that one man says, and then tell others to educate themselves without actually looking into the background of their savior. if you want to educate yourself, look into the decades of history that trump and his properties have with russian mob/oligarchs. this is common knowledge and public record. russia propped him up as a “succesful businessman” even though his business failures are also public record. the russian got exactly what they wanted out of these 4 years. we are now a hopelessly divided america that has also had our global reputation smeared. this will take decades to repair. right wing conservative media (fox news, breitbart, oan, and talk radio) have been pushing baseless conspiracies for the better part of 30 years now, and this is the result. a society filled with cultists who believe in conspiracies over news happening right in front of them, all the while blaming the left because they feel it’s a team sport now to follow politics. i hope that in the coming decades we can repair this nation’s reputation, and ween people off of the cultlike devotion to a political party. anonymous says january 20, 2021 at 1:04 pm you are a total moron flyn says january 14, 2021 at 5:32 pm it’s impossible to read most of what you wrote. you are talented at twisting and rearranging facts to kind of resemble truth. have you been reading the writings of ivan ilyin, the fascist philosopher from the early 20th century? i hear he’s back in vogue.? he believed that god screwed up when he allowed the original sin. stalin was a fan. but you’re on the right track. your helping to create an enemy with lies. democrats would be the ones on the side of reconciliation and strong commitment to democracy. you don’t like your lot in life & have chosen to blame others. but you need to get facts straight. except fascism doesn’t believe facts are pertinent. too bad. angela says january 20, 2021 at 9:37 am your reply is the only reply i could finish reading. thank you…..its so refreshing to see everyone hasnt been brainwashed…..i actually voted for first time in 2016 for trump as well….i cant believe all the replies, bashing trump and stating such ridiculous and absolutely false facts is mind blowing. trump number one did not need to run again…he’s a successful businessman with a beautiful wife and family and did so because he absolutely believes in our great country and standing (many times all alone) up against all the bashing, and hatred and most importantly all the lies….i agree trump can sometimes come off as harsh but he says what he says and what he believes rather than look in the camera and talk down to us with such unbelievable bs like biden does. i’m so disgusted that people believe this man that cant get any facts,any statistics and numbers right, hell he’s not even close. he continued to lie about several issues (like fracturing for one) and would deny trumps claims when he was on camera countless times stating the very claims he stood in front of the american people and denied. this man single handedly cost the lives of our honored navy seal team that risked their lives to keep our country safe from terrorist only to call out each of them broadcast worldwide. where are they now? these selfless heros? he cost their lives. these people on here ranting trump was worst president for our economy obviously do not have a clue what their talking about. do your research, check out the numbers,the published facts and figures and you will see that no president has come close to scoring a rating as high as trump or how much he did for our economy all while nonstop being bashed by the media, pelosi and dems….with all their lies…they hate him because he is not a politician and he cannot be bought. their disdain for him is so severe they would stop at nothing to get rid of him. for all you brain washed individuals that are letting them think for you…when biden sinks our economy and sends jobs back overseas and continues to strike behind the scenes deals with china, you will be begging for someone like trump to save us. for gods sake quit believing the bs they are feeding us and go learn the truth. go watch the documentary “the plot against the president ” and see what they did to this man, his family and the other honest members of our govt that put their family and career and life on line to get to the truth and do right thing…it doesnt matter your race, religion, or social status we are americans…the home of the free….quit letting them take our rights away from us. btw, obamacare is absolute worst thing ever…to profit off of our right to choose our healthcare needs and charge people who dont buy into it….how do people not see this…do yourself a favor and wake up and go watch the documentary “hillarys america: the secret history of democratic party and learn the truth…it will enrage you if you have half a brain (especially the part showing obama meeting big healthcare companies and you can actually hear what’s said and how wrong and unconstitutional it is to take that right from us so they can make billions…or how you can hear comments made to russian leader on how he can do more when hes not president and then they accuse trump of 100% false claims of russian involvement in election (this was done as soon as he was elected and they didnt stop their tirade for 4 years) and he still accomplished more than him and biden did in 8 years….trumps #’s so far surpassed obama and biden it’s a joke. the election was biggest fraud ever thrown on american voters. numbers do not lie. it was impossible that biden received the # of votes they say he received. my only thought is wth would trump even want the job to deal with this fraud, harrassment and lies??? i know i wouldnt….but he believes in whats right and he knows the catastrophe we are heading for and knows he can fix it and thank god for him….people should be ashamed….all the nonstop name calling and disrespecting our president all because they say he’s arrogant or he’s egotistical….really? do you not see the irony??? i for one will never watch biden give any speech…..its like looking at creepy old man who makes way more inappropriate remarks especially to women and young girls (and we wont even discuss his son or how absolutely fraudulent his dealings and payoff with china are). nobody…nobody will tell me how to think, how to feel about someone (by their countless smear campaigns) or how to vote….we are all americans….we need to fight for our rights and not let them turn our great country into their own profit agenda because its well along its way and how people cant see this and sit back and watch the fake news and believe what “they” are telling us to believe….if i was trump i would start a new media powerhouse that reports the facts and brings the rest of these media lyers out in the open….i would use my money and power to educate the hardworking americans on whats really going on…..trust me its all going to come out in the wash and for one cant wait…. kevin says january 28, 2021 at 12:38 pm obama was operating within the corporate privatized equities the right defend so diligently. we don’t want health insurance for all. thats just a band aid. we want what we don’t have in this country, healthcare not health insurance. you want to let the sick die of poverty from being sick before their sickness even kills them. you want to protect corporate agendas because …..jobs…..market……economy……freedumb…… wait til the shoe is on the other foot for you then maybe you’ll wake up and get a fucking clue. mitch says january 9, 2021 at 2:22 am i really wish they would stop calling these liberals in america, democratic socialists. they are not. they like to talk like it, but the results are the very opposite. what is going on in america now with the liberals who seem to talk about priveledge, then feel they deserve a pass whenever they burn, loot, or vandalize something. while pointing the finger and yelling terrorism, coup, or riot, is appalling. while they take every incident and attach a race or color too it, then mock conservatives about their lack of education, or use of a dictionary. when it’s painfully obvious that while the right looks only through one eye, they only look through the other eye, themselves. they preach constructional rights, then go on crusades to deny basic civil rights, because they’ve decided they are wrong, while telling you all about how it’s bad for the right to do it. they forged an attack on free speech, by forcing the removal of all comment sections in 99% of all their media tools, which coincided with their burn, and vandalize insurrection across america, because the comments didn’t support such lawless aggression, it condemned it. sad thing is, sitting here as someone who is neither conservative, or a liberal in america, but rather someone who truly supports democracy and the equal treatment of all it’s people, as well as the equal punishment of the same crimes, as well as reading all the facts, not just the ones you like, want, or suit your agenda. it has become increasingly impossible to communicate with either side. this past year though, it’s been impossible to get liberals to stop telling everyone else they are uneducated, and to read just some of the simple basic facts, they try to duck, by pretending telling them, is trying to justify the things they say they are victims of, or having them tell you if you give them 10 other examples, it’s not the same as for them. my family escaped poland when hitler stormed across europe. yeah, what could my people know about oppression, and unfair treatment. liberals need to understand that it’s not alright to disregard everybody elses pain and suffering, because theirs comes first, and if they do, that actually is what it means to be priveledged, racist and a bigot. they need to understand if you can’t even accept responsibility for your own backyard, that you can’t condemn anyone else. anonymous says january 12, 2021 at 6:07 pm waste of words, right here! anthony scaramucci says january 12, 2021 at 7:45 pm too bad that the party of personal responsibility never takes responsibility. you almost overthrew the republic because of the lies of a narcissist jeremy j fabrizio says january 12, 2021 at 9:39 pm i mostly concur. and ( in your reference to) i find it funny when libtards refer to me as being uneducated. i’ve been to college twice. recently having received my associate’s degree with a 3.9 gpa. anonymous says january 16, 2021 at 4:11 pm how do you only have an associate’s degree if you been to college twice? calling people libtards pretty much shows that you have very little of value to say. you can be formally educated and still be uneducated on many things. jessica pemby says january 13, 2021 at 8:18 pm yo, did you not see the magas storm the capitol last week? those weren’t democrats or antifa. very proud trump followers for almost every singles one i have seen arrested. i checked kerry says january 13, 2021 at 8:52 pm you should get out talk to business owners in minneapolis. many either black or somalia . they will tell you we didn’t burn our businesses . outsiders white persons caused the damages. we didn’t burn our own communities. they tell you your ignorant to facts. jake s. says january 8, 2021 at 12:45 am the democrats are using a biden body double since many days biden is incapacitated. the person that gave a speech yesterday, jan 6, 2021, was not biden. his eyes were brown and biden’s eyes are blue. his earlobes are different as well as the chin. he read the prepared speech with less fumbling and stumbling than biden and he even walks differently. once it was over, he quickly turned and almost ran from the podium. he did not take any questions and when one reporter continued to ask he responded only with, “enough! enough!” evidently the biden team was not able to get the real biden drugged and propped up fast enough to read the prepared speech. they also have to worry about the sensitive microphones picking up the rustling noise of his depends adult diaper. hugh jass says january 12, 2021 at 7:47 pm jake you need help. this is just nuts cam says january 13, 2021 at 9:56 am this is a flat out lie. anonymous says january 14, 2021 at 12:56 pm this comment is exactly the type of lunacy that has become normal in the conservative landscape. i mean, a “body double”! this is why mental health is something that needs to be addressed on a larger scale. clearly jake s. has some psychological problems which are being exacerbated by misinformation/conspiracies that he’s getting through his “news” outlets or google searches. please get yourself some help sid says january 14, 2021 at 7:12 pm it’s stupid conspiracy theories like this and the one about bidens ankle cast hiding an ankle monitor that make everyone on the right look like a bunch of morons that will fall for anything! aren’t there enough real conspiracies going on that idiots on 4chan have to make new ones up. like this ok white power nonsense. some twelve year old liberal posts something totally fabricated, it goes viral and all of a sudden it becomes reality. as much as i hate the left, they have us out gunned with their control of the media, social media, school system and government. we better start worrying about the real problems that are happening or we’re gonna be totally screwed if we aren’t already. joe biden supporter says january 17, 2021 at 5:02 am and they call us sheep for wanting to wear masks? at least we listen to teh experts when multiple experts say the same thing. that’s something that logic in school taught us, is that when multiple people wtih credibility and knowledge on the topic say the same thing, you should listen to what is being said. i refuse to listen to this conspiracy theory bullshit as time and time again, and as logic has shown, most if not all of it is not true. joe biden supporter says january 17, 2021 at 4:59 am jake, seriously, enough with the conspiracy theories. trump lost joe biden won. want to know why? he does not ignore the pandemic that’s why. it was little too late for trump to do anything to change people’s minds, and he only proved our point more, with holding this big rally anyway, no social distancing and no masks. you say masks do not work? well, it helps if eveyone follows the idea to try to stay home and if not to keep away from other people they do not know. donald trump jr says january 24, 2021 at 9:22 am lying coward cheaters will pay for back stabbing real americans guest4579 says january 8, 2021 at 12:34 am a man named tom nicholson posted on his facebook account the sports car that he had just bought and how a man approached and told him that the money used to buy this car could’ve fed thousands of less fortunate people. his response to this man made him famous on the internet. read his story as stated on facebook below: a guy looked at my corvette the other day and said, “i wonder how many people could have been fed for the money that sports car cost? i replied i’m not sure; it fed a lot of families in bowling green, kentucky who built it, it fed the people who make the tires, it fed the people who made the components that went into it, it fed the people in the copper mine who mined the copper for the wires, it fed people in at caterpillar who make the trucks that haul the copper ore. it fed the trucking people who hauled it from the plant to the dealer and fed the people working at the dealership and their families. but,… i have to admit, i guess i really don’t know how many people it fed. that is the difference between capitalism and the welfare mentality. when you buy something, you put money in people’s pockets and give them dignity for their skills. when you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth. capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value. socialism is having the government take your money against your will and give it to someone else for doing nothing. james says january 12, 2021 at 12:03 am how could people complete the third grade even, without learning that the entire point of human civilization is to promote human welfare ? how could anyone get beyond the second grade, and yet believe the many public servants , such as the police, firemen and soldiers who are paid via taxes levied by the government on the citizens who choose to use their nation’s legal tender, are people who do nothing ? how could anyone who has attended the first grade, complete that grade and not know that many capitalist transactions are not made freely, or because we are free, but simply because we have no other choice to engage in those transactions. how could anyone live amongst other human beings and not become aware of the fact that while we can be conditioned to believe our dignity can only come from the work we do, our dignity as human beings, regardless of what our economic status may or may not be, is our most valuable source of dignity ? we humans do not live to work, but instead we work so that we might live better, and possibly longer. how could anyone live for more than a few years within an advanced western society , and within what is the age of instant information, and not know that besides the fact that there are many forms of socialism, to pay taxes to a representative government which has created the currency said taxes are paid with, is not equal to being forced to give your money to the government ? finally, i am at a loss to understand how anyone could believe that to be given a thing of value freely, is to be deprived of one’s sense of self worth ? our very lives have been given to us by nature, nature’s creator and of course by our parents. surely no well person would believe that because we possess life as a gift that we certainly did not earn, we are to be ashamed ? of course there are those among us who are not well. anonymous says january 13, 2021 at 9:25 pm bitch please. i would give a better response but you don’t deserve the modicum of brain power that would take. instead why don’t you re enroll in school? or at least pay attention to your history lessons instead of cherry picking facts to make you sound correct okay? dottij says january 14, 2021 at 1:43 pm exceptional response!! can’t argue with that. suesue2020 says january 7, 2021 at 8:43 pm the american people are entitled to know that the so called democratic party has been perpetrating a fraud upon the public, where their designated candidate, joe biden, appears to be in the stages of parkinson’s disease, including the loss of his cognitive abilities, where the anti dementia medication he is taking has the unfortunate side effect of incontinence, such that he could not participate in a public debate with his opponent, donald trump, for 90 minutes without changing his adult diaper. for that reason, it appears, the dnc resorted to “plan b.” which was to use an actor who strongly resembles joe biden in his place. this has been done without notice to the american people and clearly constitutes a form of campaign fraud upon the public, which i substantiate. comparing original photographs, and reviewing the debates several times, i have noticed that joe biden has free ear lobes, not attached ears, like his body double; that joe biden has a smooth chin, not a cleft chin, like his body double; and that joe biden also has a wider cranium than his body double. others, including myself, noticed that joe biden has blue eyes while his body double has brown. (more in full article at above link) kamala harris also has a double. the speech that joe supposedly made on jan 6, 2021 was not joe at all but his body double. the eyes were brown, not blue, and his speech was read without fumbling every other word. https://blog.thegovernmentrag.com/2020/11/08/jim fetzer joe biden vs debate biden just not the same guy/ rick santorum says january 12, 2021 at 7:48 pm you took the train to crazy town for a deranged narcissist. leave your bunker and rejoin reality suesue2020 says january 7, 2021 at 8:33 pm https://cloverchronicle.com/2020/09/12/whistleblower joe biden is in the early stages of dementia and is on medication for it more/ a “low level staffer” who claims to have worked at joe biden’s campaign headquarters in philadelphia revealed some very interesting inside information concerning not only the general atmosphere of the democrat presidential nominee’s campaign, but also his ongoing battle with a number of health related issues   including incontinence and the rustling of his depends. if biden is indeed on alzheimer’s meds and his family and campaign thus are aware of his medical condition, then we have a pretty clear case of elder abuse. biden incompetent and incontinent: https://theothermccain.com/2020/09/29/biden incompetent and incontinent/ james says january 12, 2021 at 12:12 am when biden begins to believe that windmill noise is a known cause of cancer, and that a us president should repeatedly, intentionally, mislead the american people as to just how dangerous a contagious disease is believed to be by experts ,we had better for our own sake, demand his removal from office, before he goes as far as to incite violence while at the same time falsely claiming to be an advocate for law and order ! zombies fortrump says january 12, 2021 at 7:50 pm suesue is craycray jennifer says january 5, 2021 at 11:07 am i want to start off saying that i am a 16 years old and that some of you may scoff at my opinion because i am not old enough, but i still think i have the right to an opinion. i cant understand this country, people are so focused on their opinion, people can’t even agree to disagree. we all as a human race are so fixated on being right but there really is no such thing as being right. i am currently living in a republican county and in school i hear nothing but how trump is great, but when it comes down to facts, what makes him great? that he hasn’t raised taxes? if you’re in school then you don’t even pay them in the first place, and unless you are poor, you have no good reason to disagree. this country is far from perfect, i am not for trump or biden but i am young so my opinion ultimately does not matter, but i would hate to see the world with a man like trump representing all who is the american people, he’s a joke. he is a man who is okay with orphaning children, with the excuse that they live in facilities with television. he is a man who thinks that drinking bleach can save us from a pandemic, he is a businessman who hasn’t made much money in years, he is the reason why i cry in the middle of class because a student calls my people drug runners, he is the reason why my teacher feels like a failure because the only african american student raises her hand just to lower it and say “nevermind, i can’t say anything.” people are under the illusion that one man can make america great again, but no one can see that it isn’t him that makes america great, it is america’s people that makes us great. rob says january 5, 2021 at 3:41 pm you did well. but trump didn’t say he would make america great again, he said we would. however, we have our collective heads so far up our butts that we can’t see the harm that socialism has caused every single time it’s been tried. we really do care about everyone, including the democrats, but if we don’t focus on fixing america, we’ll never be able to help other countries correctly. dc says january 8, 2021 at 3:46 pm take your anti american trump loving communist bs back to russia, you terrorist commie incel nazi piece of republican trash. trump will die for his treason via military tribunal and the firing squad, and all you al qanon nutcase communist anti american nutcases can join him in death. anonymous says january 11, 2021 at 8:57 pm failed education poster boy at his best ! c t. says january 13, 2021 at 1:45 pm wow. you are the reason they created safe spaces. anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 8:35 am your really an idiot now aren’t you. pull your head out of your ass and take a hard look at the truth instead of your own ideal of america. daniel d. coate says january 8, 2021 at 3:48 pm take your anti american trump loving communist bs back to russia, you terrorist commie incell nazi piece of republican trash. trump will d!e for his treason via military tribunal and the firing squad, and all you al qanon nutcase communist anti american nutcases can join him. kay says january 12, 2021 at 4:14 pm wow i heard that all of you are set to annihilate all the republicans part of the communist manifesto is that true anonymous says january 9, 2021 at 7:35 pm well someday you’ll find out who the socialists are when you’re old enough to know better sweetheart i hope that you do well sandy says january 10, 2021 at 2:15 pm 100% agree! james says january 11, 2021 at 1:07 pm rob; what harms were caused by the christian socialism of francis scott key’s time ? what are the harms caused by the democratic socialism that is practiced by nearly every nw european nation and to some extent, nearly every developed nation that is not ruled by an autocratic government ? i would honestly like to know just exactly when was it that america ceased to be a great nation in the mind’s of trump supporters ? was it when finally the majority of americans came to see slavery as immoral, or perhaps it was when the majority of americans finally made a stand against jim crow laws ? perhaps the trump supporters believe america stopped being great as soon as the founders recorded in our founding documents their conviction that all men had been created equal and were deserving of the same rights ? maybe the trump supporters believe america stopped being great when we as a nation made the decision to establish age of consent laws , or perhaps it was when in defiance of the crybaby conservatives who sought to prevent elvis from preforming in towns all across this nation, elvis was allowed to preform in those towns anyway ? surely the trump supporters do not believe america stopped being great when the new deal and the policies that were part of that deal actually extended the average life span of middle and lower income americans ? could it be that right wingers are not actually pro life, and only pretend to be so ? finally, i would like to understand why it is the left that should abandon the principle of human equality, when in fact, that principle is enshrined in the us constitution as one of the key principles this nation was founded upon ? if anyone should abandon a belief or principle it should certainly be the american right with its contempt for the concept of equality and hatred for policies that make it possible to act out that concept. rick pipkin says january 12, 2021 at 3:21 pm america failed to be a great nation when it dropped to huge weapons of mass distraction on innocent civilians in japan. when it legalized abortion, when it went to war against innocent people in the middle east jimi says january 12, 2021 at 9:31 pm wow, thank the universe for you james. at first i was just reading this blog because i always find it hilarious to read what absurd total nonsense these republicans have been so incredibly naive and gullible to believe this time. the problem is, it quickly stops being amusing. that’s when i start losing optimism for humanity and the bleek future that awaits this next generations because of how far back extremist republicans have set this country and, frankly, the world. as i kept reading, it became painfully obvious to me that there wasn’t going to be one intelligent statement made between all of these posters combined. then i read your comment and remembered that, lucky for the human race, they are the minority. fortunately, there are still more people like you and i who put stock in things that most republicans nowadays think are silly, like the truth or facts! those things are like kryptonite to a conservative. joseph citizenza says january 16, 2021 at 2:13 pm you nailed it. i was doing and feeling the exact same as you were here. anonymos says january 15, 2021 at 8:43 am have you been to venezuela lately? did you ever travel there in the ’70s or ’80s? do you really know how the cubans live? have you lived in russia or soviet russia? did you ever live in eastern germany? have you studied the real living experiences in europe? you don’t realize that those people don’t have true liberty. you need to try china? you need to travel, read, and study the true facts abroad. i have lived and traveled in those countries. you are very immature. joseph citizenza says january 16, 2021 at 2:21 pm have you been to norway, sweden, denmark, germany (as it is today), france, the uk, holland, finland, spain, italy, belgium, australia, new zealand, switzerland, iceland, or canada..?? bunch of socialist hell holes right? except they rank higher than the us in most metrics used to determine standard of living. you should look it up and learn exactly how well the us actually does compared to other western nations. you’ll be surprised by what you find. kevin says january 28, 2021 at 1:13 pm have you been to brazil lately? completely unregulated capitalistic society. read into it let me know what you find out lol. anonymous says january 5, 2021 at 6:52 pm your opinion is your own bit everything you just stated is what has been said on media outlets you should opinion your mind to other options not just what you hear but do the research for your self so with what you have said you seem to be confused you are a die hard liberal good luck in life kid jadia says january 9, 2021 at 8:06 am i am independent of party affiliation because just like religion, i feel un  authentic snd dishonest if i support something i’m not 100% invested in. that said, in this country, we are presented with two to three candidates from which to choose for president. usually the honor is given to someone from either the democratic or republican party. the problem we face first and foremost is our current government snd wven our very constitution, fails us miserably. we like to posture as a country where feeedom, equality and justice for all is our mo. this is not true. for so many reasons. our system is fractured and inefficient and we have much wrk to do if we are to raise our civilization up and out of its current quagmire of schizophrenic law  ( those in positions of power are rarely held accountable while the general populace is, only certain ideologies are allowed freedom of speech, mainstream media has become opinionated and based on bias, assumptions and speculation, and not in any way objective and neutral, while sticking to the facts. this has never been more obvious than now. by law, this should mean they can no longer claim to be protected from slander lawsuits by act 230 so these entities should now be sued and held accountable for inaccurate statements and reporting. they should now be prosecuted for slander, since they no longer are objective and have chosen to be opinionated. this is just one of many injustices the american people need to address. we can base our society on freedom and equality and justice for all, but we need to address legislation that backs that ideology, not contradicts it when it doesn’t serve the power holders! which means we need to eradicate those who violate these basic human rights at the expense of their constituents. time for us to cast aside our ridiculous trivial differences and unite as brothers and sisters from the human race  as there is one race we actually all can claim lineage to. united we stand ( a chance) but divided….. we surely fall ( snd fail, epically). anonymous says january 17, 2021 at 5:46 am agreed farner bastion says january 9, 2021 at 9:08 am hoping all is well and thank you of that perfect response. could you re write that in english please???? henry kahrs says january 12, 2021 at 7:36 pm trump is the same as biden will be..biden will first go to israel to get his orders like all presidents do the problem is the white house is not yours but belongs to israel. just ask alan sabrosky anonymous says january 28, 2021 at 1:15 pm antisemitic much? anonymous says january 10, 2021 at 8:44 pm i’m disgusted with cnn and all the harm that biden and the democrats has caused. they insist on milking the word racism. they are convinced that black people are ignorant. the black community knows that they have freedom, justice, choices of education, in america. the democrates have used the word racism and hate to gain power. they have divided the country because of their selfish behavior. i know that trump and the human race are not perfect, but we must agree that trump worked very hard to unite this country and tried to bring prosperity to all of us. how could cnn and the democratic done so much harm.they have taken away my peace, freedom of speech, and happiness. they make me feel scared and insecure,. i don’t know what they are going to do next. i ‘m sure they are not going to try to unite the country and that is a sin. they gain power but they are destroying our country. stormy daniels says january 12, 2021 at 7:53 pm you make no sense. if you want peace, why are you blaming a news network for the militia crazies who attacked our country in the name of a narcissist anonymous says january 13, 2021 at 8:00 am amen anonymous says january 14, 2021 at 1:01 pm your fear and insecurity is not the work of a news outlet. that is a coward’s way out. to honestly believe that only one political party or one news network is causing all the problems is utter stupidity, but there is a lot of that going around in this country. stop believing everything you see in your filter bubbles. the majority of misinformation over the last 4 years is being peddled by conservative media, because they understand that their grip on power is fading, and they will do/say whatever is necessary to maintain that power. stop being a mark for their con anonymous says january 14, 2021 at 5:07 am when social media has blocked president trump …..how can we get everyones opinion?? now all we hear is communist left dan says january 21, 2021 at 2:22 am that’s capitalism. trump incited an attack on our nations capitol. trump broke the terms of use many times on twitter. that business and many others decided he is bad for their business and don’t want anything to do with him. if you’d like the government to step in and tell them they can’t do that then that would be communism by definition. damn conservatives are so dumb. gregory a gutirrez says january 6, 2021 at 8:10 am this is a great example of the uneducated believing what is being told to them. absolutely no education on how economics work in the usa. this person is a follower, it’s easy and popular with your friends. not confidence or education to make ones own decission, too worried about what their friends will think of them. this is why 16 year olds are not allow to vote. they have no horse in the race, live at home witih free food and heat provided by their hard working parents, not the happy new year edward says january 8, 2021 at 7:30 am you’re the great example of a misinformed rightist who has failed to see how the government has failed them. the same goes both ways i’ve met people who’s parents were rightist and the only reason they were was because their parents are also rightist and when i asked them the reason they can never answer. i am neither i agree in many aspects of the right and the same goes with for the left. anonymous says january 15, 2021 at 8:48 am edward people who are right aren’t ignorant. many fought wars and rallied around martin l. king. your leftist agenda is pure evil. joseph citizenza says january 16, 2021 at 2:28 pm no, its not. you are wrong. its as simple as that. daniel d. coate says january 8, 2021 at 3:49 pm all these republicans hate america. they are terrorists and america will be great again when they are all buried megan says january 13, 2021 at 12:50 pm i would like to excuse you. most republicans have christian beliefs. in the bible (the book christians read, you know), it says to love one another. to take care of orphans and widows. to speak up for those who can not speak for themselves. to advocate for justice. to do what is right! these things mean that they can not vote (with a clean mind, i mean) for a man who thinks we should abolish capital punishment, make marijuana (which has caused overdoses and deaths of many) legal, and supports the murder of unborn babies. as to your comment above, surveys have shown that conservatives are loyal to their country no matter the party of the individual in office, and the loyalty of democrats waivers depending on who is in office. now, that said, i do not think trump is a good person. he can not say a kind word to save his life. why can’t we just be kind? why can’t we compromise on important issues? all in all, i appreciate your opinion. everyone is entitled to their own opinion. but i hope what i wrote here will give you some insight into the lives of people who love their country. signed, a 15 year old girl from south carolina crystal says january 19, 2021 at 5:26 am marijuana has caused overdoses you have lost your fucking mind go back to sleep with joe you freaking lost and confused sheep jen says january 23, 2021 at 3:56 pm he actually does say kind things. you aren’t listening or perhaps repeating the long drawn out lie after lie of the left. it’s exhausting. that statement is just overwhelming false and instead of criticizing him with validity it’s all the same miss characterization we’re accustomed to. thank you. crystal tolley says january 19, 2021 at 5:24 am go to sleep with joe u sheep james says january 11, 2021 at 1:27 pm gregory; economies are not entities that choose to work one way as opposed to another ! our us economy, like most economies, is a system that we have created. i will go on to state that our economic system displays broad tendencies which we often call” laws,” but these so called laws are unlike actual laws, descriptive. being that you seem to believe the us economy is something akin to a natural force, when in fact said economy is a system that we have created, i would say that you are at least as well educated as the average sixth grader, so by the time you are as well educated as the typical 16 year old, you will still be in no position to harshly judge other 16 year olds ! ron drake says january 6, 2021 at 8:50 am politics and politicians, judges, police, store owners and company bosses all have one thing in common  power. once someone has control over others, they are doomed. why, because even if there were only 2 people on earth there would be conflict. this is because no 2 people think exactly alike, that is why as a republic, the majority rules, which is going to pass off those that disagree. today’s issues for some reason are creating a mental disruption in the ability of those that are in the minority, to rebel. if you start going back in the history of america or other nations you will find the thinking then may seam wrong by today’s standards. but if you just look in the mirror you will see someone that changes their mind on a daily basis, why, because you don’t know what will happen each day that could sway your decisions about things, you may hate the police, but have someone try to rob you , and an officer stops the thief or save your life, which changes your perspective. what each of us does is take what we’ve learned, what we’ve read or seen on tv, how we were raised and make decisions on our compilation of them. so if you know your history, see or read the results of what others are or have gone through, you should be able to assess what the results will be from your decisions, right? unfortunately the masses today want to destroy our history, good or bad, throw race, religion, covid, face book, twitter, google and the social networks owners policies into dividing a nation that was based on freedom of persecution. it is sad to see that just as other great societies, destruction is not coming from without, but from within! socialism is for those that want to become sheep and allow the government to determine and run their lives. they become an embryo again, dependent on everything they do to be done by others. have we become so brainless that just like sheep we run off the cliff because everyone should follow the leader? please americans wake up or learn to speak chinese, because that’s where we’re headed. me says january 7, 2021 at 9:17 pm i just wish i could figure out which bathroom to use, it’s never been a problem until now. i think maybe if we all start smoking pot someone will lead us down the correct path. maybe, i don’t know. anonymous says january 8, 2021 at 7:09 pm agree 100 percent. too many sheep drinking the kool aid. this is the beginning of the end. gary alexander says january 11, 2021 at 6:06 am ron that’s oh so true but let’s talk about trump for a moment. before trump was sworn in to office he was under investigation. he’s been under investigation by the fbi, irs and other agencies. they’ve tried to impeach him and slandered his family members, and now they are going to try and impeach him again. you never hear anyone in the media saying anything about this. i’m not condoning what happened at the capitol on wednesday was right but the politicians had to see this coming. the left is blaming the pandemic, the economy and now they want to lock him up! trump is the first president in a long time that’s had the nation’s best interest at heart. trump is a leader not a follower and i firmly believe that he believes in god and jesus christ. he was just trying to do the best he could for all of us including the democrats. i do believe he cares for americans and american!! gary alexander says january 11, 2021 at 6:28 am there has never been a president that has been under investigation for five years like trump has. the investigation’s started as soon as his run for office started. this is shameful and the democrats wander what the hell is wrong with trump!!!! tony scaramucci says january 12, 2021 at 8:00 pm so it’s democrats who are responsible for the most embarrassing president we’ve ever had? take responsibility susan delrosario says january 12, 2021 at 2:13 pm i agree i don’t like it when people blame trump for the riot he is a very law abiding citizen he did a lot of good things found a vaccine for the virus to stop the pandemic stopped the human trafficking made peace with israel got rid of the bad terrorists got the unemployment rate down sadie says january 21, 2021 at 2:28 am 100% correct! god willing, prezzie triump, will be back in 2024 where he rightly belongs in the white house. stormy daniels says january 12, 2021 at 7:57 pm you are not a christian. you made a deal with a completely unchristlike devil, and you have blood on your hands james says january 11, 2021 at 2:02 pm ron; removing the statues, busts and flags from the public square of people who waged war against these united states, in order to preserve the immoral institution of slavery, will not destroy our history. instead removing these things from the public square may very well serve to allow our nation to repeat its history of making societal progress. you do agree that ending chattel slavery represented societal progress, do you not ron ? surely your moral compass has not been so rusted by right wing ideology that you believe slavery is a morally acceptable institution ? i agree with most americans in that we should preserve historical artifacts. likewise it is vital that we keep documented records of our history, and that we teach our youth our history. the historical artifacts of the confederacy can best be preserved in museums, while the written history of the civil war, and the confederacy, should be recorded in text books from which students are taught the awful historical truth of the civil war and the confederacy. i hope it is not too late says january 13, 2021 at 6:08 am you are. right trump h as been treated awful. god bless him mark w masellis says january 6, 2021 at 9:47 am jennifer, of course you are entitled to your opinion. however, you should make sure your opinion is informed by the truth rather than what you hear on some news source or media platform which has their own agenda. this is just as true for those who support trump as those who oppose him. always search for the truth and be open to change your mind if you learn new facts that change the equation. we are about to get controlled by one party that has a very different idea about life and liberty than what we had previously. good luck. mr. patriot says january 8, 2021 at 7:08 pm you are very correct. we are going to need a lot of luck with the new administration coming in. it is safe to say we can say goodbye to most of our freedoms steve bannon says january 12, 2021 at 8:03 pm nah, you just feel like you should have the freedom to spread deadly diseases, ruin the planet, and carry 27 guns for no good reason. your selfishness was not what the founding fathers had in mind sue says january 9, 2021 at 2:10 pm well, i am still waiting for trumpers to “search for the truth” instead of regurgitating trump’s propaganda, his 30,000 lies (to date), and the fox fake news network! after four long years   anyone with a brain knows they will never seek the truth!!! anonymous says january 13, 2021 at 10:20 pm the truth got an entanglement with all the chaos robert says january 10, 2021 at 6:31 pm trump was the only decent president we’ve had since ronald reagan the democrats are dirty scum cam says january 13, 2021 at 10:01 am you must be one of the few people who had the trickledown economic myth be good to you. james says january 11, 2021 at 2:56 pm mark; truth be told, the american right views both life and liberty as if they are privileges that should be either earned, bought or inherited at birth. it is the left mark, who believes that the right to live in liberty is in fact a right that every american possesses by virtue of the fact that we are all born as equal beings who are equal as human beings. liberty, equality and solidarity happens to be the creed of the original french leftists, who though they were not the first people to adhere to these principles, they were the first people to actually be called ”leftists.” it is the case that the creed of the american left remains the same as the original french creed. this creed is easily translated into a statement of american values as those values are enshrined in our founding documents. we american leftists value liberty and justice for all, since we believe we are all created equal. we as american leftists stand in solidarity as american citizens, who though we each have differences of opinion concerning many issues, we stand united in our belief that every american, and in fact every human being is entitled to life, liberty, the right to pursue happiness and justice. bobby says january 11, 2021 at 3:57 pm & they wine & say trump is a dictator. they have no idea what is actually going on in this world. we have democrats controlling media constantly trying to start race wars to cause controversy. the democrats are trying to change our god given rights & those god given rights is why america is what is & why it’s so free & isn’t like every other country. i’m 16 as well & my opinion is not valid but the fact that i see how gullible these liberals is mind boggling. they’ll believe anything that fits their narrative. theresa josephson says january 6, 2021 at 1:33 pm i appreciate your opinion and believe you are spot on. trump’s speech and actions has made the racist, misogynistic, hypocritical, unchristian acting people think it is ok to spread hate and discontent. please keep thinking critically and doing the right thing. i applaud you!!! heavenly says january 10, 2021 at 2:38 am what makes a person “unchristian acting” in your opinion? and do you feel trump does what jesus would do? heavenly says january 10, 2021 at 2:40 am i am guessing not nor do i. 4mail says january 11, 2021 at 12:04 am don’t repeat the “racist” trope unless you can back it up. but let’s test your assertion. trump made sure historically black colleges and universities now are permanently funded. why didn’t obama do that? trump reformed prisons to give inmates   who are disproportionately black   a better shot at getting a job and having a normal life. why didn’t obama do that? now lets look at biden. he called obama “an articulate and clean cut negro.” he sponsored legislation with robert byrd, democrat from w. virginia to keep segregation in place because he didn’t want his kids going ‘to a zoo.’ btw   his buddy robert byrd was a formal kkk grand marshall. that’s right   your buddy that you voted for   joe biden   co sponsored pro segregation legislation with a former kkk member. now who’s the racist? charles l crew says january 11, 2021 at 8:52 am i bet you only watch main stream media. they are not telling the whole story.if so you might try watch fox, ro newsmax. shaun says january 14, 2021 at 1:05 pm stop telling people to watch propogandist networks. the ones you mentioned present an alternate reality devoid of facts. why is it that i’m supposed to watch only certain networks because trump or yourself tell me to? if 9 out of 10 news outlets are reporting something, and fox is the only one saying something totally different, you’re telling me to believe the one out of ten? do you realize how counterintuitive and utterly ludicrous that is? anonymous says january 6, 2021 at 2:41 pm thank god your not old enough to vote. you are too misinformed & emotionally unstable to make adult decisions. trump never said to drink bleach but someone convinced you he did, just like someone convinced you trump orphans children. maybe do a little research for yourself and you might realize whoever is feeding you these bs narratives, that are easily disproven, doesn’t really have your best interests in mind. anonymous says january 8, 2021 at 7:45 am it is true trump never said to ingest bleach but some trump supporters did actually drink bleach because they are sheep to his word. she was not “convinced” that donald trump orphans children she is talking about the children in the cages because of deportation. which the leftist people are informed and feel entitled and the right has failed to see how the government has failed them because they are also informed. anonymous says january 8, 2021 at 6:01 pm sweet jesus . the misinformed and emotionally unstable? the term is projection look it up if you can read which i doubt you can you call other people sheep? please. you tell people to seek the truth yet you think you’re the only keeper of the truth which is bullshit. everyone’s entitled to an opinion the differences is the 16 year old actually boxes up with reality where is your in la la land saying that the media is lying so where do you get your information from all the internet that that’s reliable believe the stranger online telling outlanders tails good god our founding fathers are rolling in their graves. morons invaded the capital one desecrated it they were animals they were everything the day cues blm movement of being and then some. patriotic is voting then shutting the fuck up when you lose your vote this patriotic to because that is how it works now you can believe the thinking people or you can leave it up to the sociopathic narcissist who just try to take over our country in a coup. to quote the child what has he done except wreak chaos. i break it down for you but there’s no point since you’ll be dead from coronavirus in no time anyways in your last breath you’ll still believe that it’s all a hoax so what’s the point you’re right i hate america i really do it because it’s full of idiots like you karin says january 9, 2021 at 9:40 pm you are so wrong ! she knows what she is talking about ! trump said to inject ourselves with bleach/disinfectant ! i watched this briefing live on tv myself. make no mistake america ,trump said this. he is mentally ill ! and yes this has been proven by many well known psychiatrists across the country ! they have even written a book. this young girl is on track for a successful, positive life ! she knows what she’s talking about. she has obviously been listening, she may be 16 now. but look out in a few years! she may be one of our next democratic politicians. anonymous says january 10, 2021 at 1:50 am https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zicgxu5mfwe what about this? or is injecting disinfectant different than drinking bleach? anonymous says january 10, 2021 at 12:10 pm yes he did say drink bleach. he is a sociopath. he lied about the election. he lost. he needs to tell his supporters the truth. and let them decide how they feel about his lies to this country. what he did was treason. john brown 1865. read it. anonymous says january 10, 2021 at 9:45 pm the kid has more brains than you. what do you based your opinions from? you tube? fox news? or from a conspiracy site? i am no liberal nor a trump supporter but those of you who have swore allegiance to this clown must be out of your mind. no wonder america is the land of the dreams, anyone can fill your head with bullshit and you just believe it. you guys are so easy to manipulate. it just shows lack of individuality or leadership. maybe netflix is frying your brains. bunch of fans and followers. you almost lost democracy for laughing and that loser’s jokes. jay says january 6, 2021 at 3:23 pm thank god your not old enough to vote. you are too misinformed & emotionally unstable to make adult decisions. trump never said to drink bleach but someone convinced you he did, just like someone convinced you trump orphans children. maybe do a little research for yourself and you might realize whoever is feeding you these bs narratives, that are easily disproven, doesn’t really have your best interests in mind. caz says january 9, 2021 at 2:37 am you seem to be the one misinformed or just living under a rock, who knows. these 16 year olds are the future voters so you had better listen to them instead of insulting them. they will be electing future presidents. trump has made america look like a joke to the rest of the world. the wall to stop mexicans from crossing over, billions of dollars spent. wouldn’t it have been better to help mexico become a country where they don’t want to leave. he does take children and babies off mexican parents if they illegally cross the border, shocking,and detain them separately.. if you want your proof just take a look online not all filming of these places were from news outlets or biden supporters, but concerned citizens. trump did indicate that ingesting bleach could have an effect on the virus. america has become a country full of gun wielding misanthropes under trump. he has not made america great at all. america has the highest rate of coronavirus deaths in the world. this does not help that trumps followers state “it’s my right not to wear a mask” how ridiculous, this is world wide pandemic with new variants in europe and south africa making the infection even more contagious. trump has not protected americans at all, from the start he should have advised all americans to keep a 2 meter distance,wear a mask and self isolate if they have any symptoms. the hospitals are overwhelmed with new cases every day. i for one cannot wait to see the back of this orange man, and i hope he is blocked from ever running for president again. bill says january 10, 2021 at 9:14 am indoctrinated trumper/qanon follower much? the influencers have been manipulating you with carefully crafted lies and you’ve been buying into it lock, stock and barrel. anonymous says january 13, 2021 at 9:05 pm obviously you never saw the actual news conferences that trump suggested that maybe digesting bleach or some disinfection …..it was all over the news. the medical professionals sitting behind him just put their heads down in disbelief prudence says january 23, 2021 at 4:34 pm obvious you haven’t either!! 🤦‍♀️ what trump said about disinfectants after bryan’s presentation, trump floated the idea of using disinfectants to treat covid 19 patients. he did not say americans should ingest chemicals to prevent or treat the virus. here’s the full context: “a question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which i find to be very interesting. so, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and i think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. and then i said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. (to bryan) and i think you said you’re going to test that, too. sounds interesting, right?” “and then i see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. and is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. so, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. that’s pretty powerful.” later, trump clarified his comments after a reporter asked bryan whether disinfectants could actually be injected into covid 19 patients. “it wouldn’t be through injections, almost a cleaning and sterilization of an area. maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work, but it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object.” the briefing transcript shows that trump did not say people should inject themselves with bleach or alcohol to treat the coronavirus. he was asking officials on the white house coronavirus task force whether they could be used in potential cures. get your heads out of your you know what!!! come on really???? every freaking single word. look at biden’s words. we don’t use it day in day out cuz you know what we don’t give a flip. you people are just so full of hatred and getting him at all costs this is a perfect example. at least we all know why the liberal politicians are doing this and for the entire 4 years and passing on to you. if you don’t know why is the exact reason why they pass it all on to you knowing who will believe all their lies. their lies are nothing ever to benefit you it’s all for them and their evil which is money and massive coverups. how can you not think it’s mind boggling the extremes they have used before he even won and impeachment starting hours after he took office and continued for 4 years. look at all the news one  sided. all articles on googled first three four pages agree whole heartily with your exact beliefs. you believe every single word. you don’t have to do any research believing the msm bot and paid for by the left that are supposed to be bias? journalism is biased! it’s the definition. all of social media is only correcting one sides opinions? turn on every news station and every msm says almost identical words sentences. they all say it to make you believe. they think you are stupid! they control you and it’s sad. you’re not even getting anything out of it. and abortions and the overjoyed left ecstatic to get biden and want hillary and will hate any who disagree and stop them from debating you.planned parenthood is the one of the lefts major donor and they sold body parts on the black market. if you have a child or a heart just look into your child’s face and tell them thanks to liberals you had the choice to say if they lived or died and you get to do the same to your children. and don’t come back with your usual if daddy raped daughter like you care and that soul idea be the basis of your stance. it’s not stop lying. why do you want baby’s dead for any other reason than rape or mother’s health??? why would you be proud of that. thank god my mother couldn’t choose because she had every reason except love going on i’m her devestating life but i was born and the two most loving parents raised me with 4 of their own and gave me the most blessed life and life to children who will change the world and are. the love i received hurts and is cherished beyond words. if my mother had a choice i may not be here. isn’t that enough. i brought a love to my parents they didn’t know of having different type personalities then the whole family. i softened them and they could express that love more openly because of me never hiding my love abd addoration. stop listening to what strangers are telling you, politicians that don’t care if you live or die are sick or healthy happy or sad rich or poor. they only care what benefits then. look at their houses and cars and vacations and clothing and jewelry and health care and retirement and power, disdain, entitlement hypocrisy, greed…it’s pure evil and nothing of god and goodness. ask yourself why they hate trump so much for starters he threatened term limits and rules like normal workers with less then 8 week vacations, pay for healthcare not free for life. on 100 200 thousand dollars salaries making more than the president how are they all millionaires, multi millionaires. i think biden has 4 5 houses. most have multiple houses or i mean.mansions. lobbyist?? china??? sinister beyond you allow yourself to find out. find out. rosi says january 6, 2021 at 11:31 pm i am a 16 year old too. i’m not for trump, but i think there is way too much attention on him. it’s gotten to the point where it dominates social media and even my school classes. i live in an extremely democratic state (i live in the us) and i’ve gotten so annoyed with the excessive hate on him. from what i’ve seen, he doesn’t seem like a good person, and i wouldn’t vote for him if i could. but given my situation, i’m so sick of people continously taking jabs at him and eachother’s views everywhere i go. like, i’ll be watching a funny youtube video, completely unrelated, and then they crap on him out of nowhere. i understand it’s completely fine to express your opinions…..it’s just annoying to me to see it everywhere….when i just want a break from it all. even the safe havens i go to contain political stuff. anonymous says

“democratic state” and never has been. it is and has always been a “constitutional republic”. although that might be about to change, for the worse. but the u.s. has never been a democracy. up until now, it is and always has been a “constitutional republic”. anonymous says january 14, 2021 at 1:45 pm good, then you can leave instead of being a jerk to teenagers. anonymous says january 20, 2021 at 7:33 am if the left hates america so much then leave america and do not come back you have money take it and go james says january 11, 2021 at 3:20 pm rosi; perhaps you hold the view you hold because of the fact that you personally have never endured the sort of suffering people like trump are capable of causing people to have to endure, or because you have yet to learn of the historical accounts of the suffering, people like trump, have caused various peoples to endure ? finally, you need to accept the fact that you will never escape politics, since every thing you will ever do, think, or even feel, will somehow be related to politics. the very fact that you as a youngster have the time to escape to your safe havens, and do not have to immediately go from school to work, is because of politics. for a long time in this country, even 5 year olds were expected to go to work;even in mines and sweatshops. conservatives resisted, but thankfully liberals eventually brought child labor to an end. chris says january 14, 2021 at 7:26 am really james? apple is liberal. who makes iphones? cheap foreign child labor. please educate yourself before you repeat the lies you have been told. prudence says january 23, 2021 at 4:38 pm welcome to our world where we are the target. they beat us over and over and know the toll and disbelief and anguish they cause having control of 95 percent of media and hate and hollywood and big tech and fbi and cia and who and now domination of voting finally. prude says january 23, 2021 at 4:38 pm welcome to our world where we are the target. they beat us over and over and know the toll and disbelief and anguish they cause having control of 95 percent of media and hate and hollywood and big tech and fbi and cia and who and now domination of voting finally. rosi says january 6, 2021 at 11:32 pm i am a 16 year old too. i’m not for trump, but i think there is way too much attention on him. it’s gotten to the point where it dominates social media and even my school classes. i live in an extremely democratic state (i live in the us) and i’ve gotten so annoyed with the excessive hate on him. from what i’ve seen, he doesn’t seem like a good person, and i wouldn’t vote for him if i could. but given my situation, i’m so sick of people continously taking jabs at him and eachother’s views everywhere i go. like, i’ll be watching a funny youtube video, completely unrelated, and then they crap on him out of nowhere. i understand it’s completely fine to express your opinions…..it’s just annoying to me to see it everywhere….when i just want a break from it all. even the safe havens i go to contain political stuff. joseph says january 8, 2021 at 4:26 pm when one of these people say you are a p o s do you honestly believe that was meant literally. trump did not know much about treating covid at the time he made some reference to bleach which was definitely not a literal suggestion to anyone with a brain. mati says january 7, 2021 at 3:40 am your reply was more more cogent and coherent than the opinion piece. congratulations young one! liz stamp says january 7, 2021 at 4:07 am well said, you may be only 16, but you are seeing the ‘big picture’ a lot earlier than most teenagers, my daughter included! but, i have to disagree with one statement you made, your opinion does matter and in two years, you and a lot of your peers will have a say in who our leader is! we learned a valuable lesson with this election, every vote really does count, because, we, the people, turned up at the polls in record numbers to remove the toxin from the wh! sadly, though, that resulted in him saying the election was rigged for the last two months and 4 people dying today after his supporters stormed the capitol, which he encouraged!! i have never, in my life, seen an act like this from a sitting president and i’m disgusted! sounds like you have good instincts and morals, so in 2 years, make a difference! 😁 guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 6:05 pm remember, the blm/antifa infiltrated the group. most conservatives uphold the rule of law. it was the blm/antifa groups that rioted over the summer burning and looting and shooting. the woman who was shot was a victim of the capitol police, which is being investigated. the other three persons died from unrelated causes. bob says january 8, 2021 at 10:37 pm record numbers? yeah, i wondered how they surpassed the population of some states all together?!?! lol. we did get lucky…we kept the toxic clinton machine out of the white house by legitimate numbers and you fools just couldn’t understand it…she had to have therapy, y’all had to have safe places created to pout during the day etc…like grievance counseling for little kids after a classmate has passed away. dems are so pathetic! i watched as the rest of the world did while blacks looted, burned and beat (elderly included) people in the streets for weeks. i actually saw some dumbassed white guy marching for blm flag and all, got through, went to his car and got drug out and beaten by 4 blacks because he was white, lmao. what an idiot. you people think they give a damn about you and you’re crazy. you are just a means to an end for them. i watched them assaulting motorists, damaging peoples cars, blocking traffic of people who were (unlike them) trying to get to work. and you have the nerve to whine about those few who got into the peoples house? schumer said “if they’d been black they’d been treated a whole lot worse” lmfao. blacks have gotten away with everything they’ve done for months now. so keep trying to play the race card and identity politics! that’s all you people on the left know. then you (dumbass) have the nerve to speak of the dead? an air force veteran whom i guarantee has done more for this country than you ever have or will, shot and killed. for what? being unarmed? being white? let me guess, she died because she had white privilege ?!?!? if that woman had been black it would’ve gone like this….she was just walking to the store after church and thought she could stop by and pick up her stimulus check in person and then go get her some skittles and a drink before going to help the elderly at the food bank where she volunteered blah blah blah etc…and some racist cracker cop just shot her for no reason! isn’t that how it always goes?!?!? jokes, one and all. you will have the civil war you so desperately crave and talk about all the time if you people try to start turning this country into your utopian 3rd world country! you’ll try to taint the vote (like you did by dropping all the somalis into minn) moving all the mexicans into cal. illegal or not, moving to tx, nc,ga,fl for lower taxes better opportunities etc…and bringing your stupid politics with you. don’t let the few large cities that control the electoral college votes of that state fool you into thinking you are the majority. look how red the map is. the only reason you people even remain relevant is due to the lg urban areas, and about 4 other states! whole states are red except some stupid broke down disenfranchised slum capital city that happens to be where all the morons live. whole huge sections of this country, the entire midwest, red! remember, half the country hates you people. enjoy your short reign cam says january 13, 2021 at 10:06 am the misinformation spew here is ridiculous. i suggest the trumpers go home and do something good each day in their own communities. do something healing and not hurtful, from the heart and not from hate, something which you will not try to extact repayment or favor. do this everyday, stay away from your preachers who only preach to your choir. get to know your neighbors and then just maybe you will be able to join the greater good and see life as a gift and not a grand conspiracy against you. anonymous says january 7, 2021 at 6:38 am your right your to young to know or see what’s really happening to this country. go and read something like a comic book and shut up! gary bailey says january 8, 2021 at 2:45 pm extremely rude, this obviously well developed young person is already your superior. caz says january 9, 2021 at 2:41 am wow great come back. anonymous says january 11, 2021 at 4:21 pm with the structure of that comment, it looks like you are the one who needs to step back and reevaluate everything. edward winner says january 7, 2021 at 7:31 am jennifer, it is too bad that you cannot see the forest from the trees. while we get prepared to live under the biden rule, we will see china being “made great again”. apparently, you didn’t pay attention to the havoc and division that barak obama brought to this country during his presidency or learned that in school. this is why we have groups such as antifa and black lives matter. they are mainly responsible for so many riots and why so many cities have burned. it is conservatives who are criticized for their values by the socialist left and the media outlets in this country. from your comments, one can only guess that your educational institution is full of the liberal arts courses that has brainwashed you into believing that those who are successful in this country, are bad people. shame on the successful hard workers for making this country prosperous. maybe you need to take more math courses so you can figure out what 1 + 1 is and become an asset to this country by showing all of us how you can make this country more prosperous instead of acting like a victim who wants others to feel sorry for you. try living in the shoes of a conservative white male in today’s society. you are afraid to tell the truth about injustices being done and are constantly being called a bigot or racist for your morals and values as well as your beliefs. you are considered to be someone with hate when you stand with your hand over your heart while saluting the flag to remember those who have served this great country and to those who paid the ultimate price for our freedoms so that “children” such as yourself can spew your hatred out on social media outlets such as this. and do you want to know what “feeling like a failure” is? failure is being among true american patriots in this country who recently had the 2020 election stolen from them by corrupt politicians for political power and basically criticized by the liberal media when raising concerns of voter fraud. while you might view president trump as a “joke”, at least he got out and worked for his success; unlike joe biden   who has been a career politician for 48 years by making his money off of corrupt foreign deals and using the american people as his atm machine. at least trump has made an effort of protecting the american people from those on the outside who despises us and would like to do us harm. and he isn’t completely the blame for the covid 19 pandemic that cnn and other hateful media outlets make him out to be. if you hate to see the world with donald trump, then get yourself ready for a world with joe biden and hope that in four years we still have a country. anonymous says january 7, 2021 at 5:51 pm amen i'm just me says january 8, 2021 at 9:41 am you are spot on john herman says january 9, 2021 at 4:05 am sounds like you wrote what you heard rather than what you read! you state stuff that is hateful and ignorant. this president is foolishly arrogant and very dismissive toward the military especially an american war hero. john mccain trump hates him yet loves putin…another thing squirrel barack obama didn’t create black lives matter movement. pick up a newspaper and read buddy. john kauffman says january 9, 2021 at 1:31 pm well said. alfred says january 9, 2021 at 11:37 pm excellent anonymous says january 10, 2021 at 2:22 am wah,wah, wah!!! talk about playing victim! it’s a damn good thing you haven’t had to live a life where you had no guidance or support as a young child and were forced to figure out a way of life for yourself, not always having a choice between doing good or doing bad… get real. you have no idea what it’s like to have to “work hard” anonymous says january 10, 2021 at 9:25 pm well said bro, to think this kind of thinking is infiltrated into the younger generation is sad, people can’t think for themselves they rely on the msm for their information and believe everything they hear. fucking sheep, and by the time they realize what’s really going on it’ll be to late for their poor dumb asses. jenuwin says january 11, 2021 at 9:38 pm we have had trump for four years and are now facing the most difficult times i have seen in all my years. he said many times that he would not be satisfied with just another four years, but thought he should have twelve or sixteen or more. the man now we are faced with a terrible pandemic in the midst of which president injected his autocratic ambitions for unlimited power by feeding the lie that “if i lose it can only be because the election was rigged.” he worked this lie even though his attempts to change the results of the election through the court system were thrown out sixty times at least. he continued the lie of an illegitimately elected winner of the race and refused to admit to his own losses. the threats now are of civil war if he. is impeached for fomenting an insurrection. i wonder how many of them rely on social security and medicare. which hospital overburdened with covid patients will treat them when men and women and women within their ranks are shot. or bludgeoned. someone needs to remember that this nation is founded on laws and that if the wheels of government are brought to a standstill it will have dire consequences in many ways. way to make america great donald j. trump. laura says january 7, 2021 at 8:01 am it’s great to have an opinion at such a young age, but unfortunately you base your opinion on fake news. as many have said, “you are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts”. have you spoke with the people who work at the border, or trump himself. how do you know what he’s “ok with”. you don’t! you repeat what you have heard on left leaning bias media. also, your family must be extremely wealthy to think that a man with billions of dollars, hasn’t made “much money “. and you’re right that it’s the people that make a country great, people who believe in freedom to flourish, not government oppression. oppression like taxes. look to the future young one. in two years you will be paying taxes. at 16, you might feel 2 years is too far away to worry about, but it will be here sooner than you think. here’s my opinion, you should get all the facts before forming your opinion. joseph dinya says january 7, 2021 at 9:09 am someone with common sense, ty!!! jenny king says january 7, 2021 at 2:55 pm there are corrupt people in our government on both sides (for a very long time) who have sold america to the highest bidder, (check out nafta for one), he wanted to root those people out, he called it the swamp. you will understand when you live in a communist country what the corrupt people have done. over a third of the nation thinks there was some sort of corruption in our 2020 election. they would like an audit of the dominion voting machines, and would like to know why our vote information was sent to china and other countries, as well as other things that transpired. ask yourself why is the media saying “nothing to see here, move on.” if there was nothing to see why couldn’t they appease the american people and give information needed to prove 75,000,000 people every thing was on the up and up? we will never have an election controlled by our votes again, so hey when you are old enough to do so, don’t bother. mister says january 9, 2021 at 11:30 am dido, couldn’t of said it better myself.. guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 3:34 pm president trump did not ‘orphan’ children (their illegal parents did that and should be arrested by child protective services) nor did he set up the cages   obama did that and there are photos from then to prove it. he did not say to ‘drink bleach.’ you have taken that completely out of context from a speech. and if he hasn’t made any money in years, how did he manage to be a billionaire? you sound very much as if you have been absorbing bits and pieces of rumors and gossip without doing your homework. and just exactly who are “your people?’ if your teacher intimidates her students so they fear to give an opinion then she is the problem! president trump is the result of what americans want to make america great and has stated so publicly. he is merely the focus of a giant drive in this country. he is fulfilling what we americans are requesting. that is why he was elected. charles l crew says january 9, 2021 at 9:38 am exactly! donald whistler says january 7, 2021 at 4:37 pm your opinion is based on lies, i don’t care about your age , he did not tell anyone to drink bleach, like most of the info your feed about trump, it’s all taken ought of content. why would you believe anything so stupid. if something sounds to stupid to be true it probably is. check things out for yourself, you’ll being a better person for doing just that one thing . lou says october 7, 2022 at 12:42 am out of context not ought of content. you people are so ignorant. anonymous says january 7, 2021 at 5:00 pm you have no clue, you are young and don’t know what you are talking about. let democrats have control, and you will see how fast things will fall apart. i am older and i know what i am talking about. they are moralless, and ungodly, and without god things will fall apart. just wait and see. anonymous says january 7, 2021 at 5:51 pm ignorance is bliss , child anonymous says january 8, 2021 at 4:22 am develop your options from research not from what you hear on the media or some liberal teachers you will be amazed . david says january 8, 2021 at 2:44 pm you are not 16, if you were truly 16 you wouldn’t half of the words you used or how to spell them, a troll from the kingdom of stooooopidity anonymous says january 8, 2021 at 6:35 pm you have no idea what mean people are like. you must have rich parents. little girl. gary von neida says january 8, 2021 at 10:21 pm wake up and realize that socialism murdered close to (we may never know the real numbers) 200 million citizens that dis agreed with a godless society. mitch says january 9, 2021 at 2:48 am if you never form an opinion, you’ll never care to chase the facts. don’t listen to anyone that wants to tell you, “the truth”. find it for yourself and never be ashamed to raise your hand e 3 brandy ranly says january 9, 2021 at 3:04 am i’m a veteran of the united states of america air force and i think you’re spot on in your opinion. i really don’t appreciate so many mansplaining to you how they are glad your opinion can’t be taken into account as you’re not old enough to vote. age doesn’t correlate with wisdom. you’ve felt what you’ve felt and they shouldn’t invalidate you or your personal experiences. i don’t like treasonous hate provoking masses of unthinking mouth breathers being incited to violence in our capital during our electoral certification process. i believe they’re all a bunch of seditionist traitors who deserve jail at least and some possibly deserve to be executed for violence against our government and the democratic process that we have to abide by and live with. djt should be arrested for inciting this riotous attack on out constitution and the law we abide by as citizens of this country. i just wish they’d have more faith in almighty god if they actually believe in him they’d know he’d not be diverted from his will if he’d wanted djt to be president again the election wouldn’t have went to biden. i hated djt for all of the lies. i’m sickened by his behavior and the way he has handled every issue since coming to office which seemed to only consist of attempting to destroy everything obama had accomplished for 8 years. when all you’re fixated on is destruction then that’s all you accomplish. it sickens me how sycophantic and cult like most of djt followers are acting like. hang in there jennifer and you’ll be old enough to vote eventually so you can help make a difference in your government locally and federally by being able to vote. if you’re still supporting president trump you’re nothing but a traitor to the constitution and our country and i don’t want to hear any lies about how great he was. he was a destructive fool who had an easy time of fooling you into believing his lies and that somehow he wasn’t as narcissistic as every action and word that came from him seemed to make extraordinarily evident. he loves money and if you read a bible ever it says love of money is the root of evil. he’s an evil man who has committed many crimes that he’s afraid could get him major jail time so he incited the violence against congress to avoid jail. smh any critically thinking human being could see that. most decent people have begun to see the writing on the wall for djt. i hope the rest will retrieve their heads from their rectum long enough to see the truth about their false messiah. a concerned citizen of the people spreading hate says january 13, 2021 at 10:15 pm what did obama accomplished? sir, your tone is full of hate. people like you are the haters not the president. you clearly have not done any research to find out if everything you wrote is true. you sound like any other leftist just blah, blah with no evidence just hate fowards a great president. feel sorry for you people. the only traitor to the constitution is a democratic socialist. president trump is the first president that donates his salary, as opposed to obama who made millions when he finished his terms and bought a house worth millions…. could have been his cut received by the healthcare field. . is this the root of evil you referred to? or the one that biden did illegally with ukraine obtaining millions too. .oh, and once again, what did obama accomplished besides making himself rich?? sir, please free yourself from the lies you are wrapped into. anonymous says january 9, 2021 at 5:02 am i am so impressed by your thoughtfulness and by the depth of your reflection and for genuinely seeking truth, as opposed to propaganda, at such a young age. you are much wiser than people twice and thrice your age because you understand that « it isn’t (one man) that makes america great, it is america’s people that makes us great. » as we have seen on january 6, one man and his unquestioning supporters can actually « make america less again.) it is never good to suspend your own judgement a no one can see that it isn’t him that makes america great, it is america’s people that makes us great. nd your common sense to the beliefs of the people in your environment, whose hardships and insecurity have led them to accept crowd mentality. your letter strongly indicates that you belong to a pwhom i call « outsiders. » sadly outsiders never fit with the majority of people and you end up no one can see that it isn’t him that makes america great, it is america’s people that makes us great. feeling like an outcast. just know that you are in good company. the majority of great scientists (such as einstein), great innovators, great writers and great thinkers were outsiders. although most christians do not recognize this (because they are stuck on the old testament instead of understanding that jesus said that he had come to accomplish all that was written before (meaning the other books of the bible). jesus most famous teachings were to not judge and to love. that was pretty simple. much too simple for most people who would rather hold hate and resentment into john says january 9, 2021 at 8:46 am “this country “ “my people” “orphaning children “ trump is loved by the working man because he is the 1st president in a long time to reward hard work. i’m tired of people coming from there countries feeling entitled wanting benefits from my tax dollars. it is illegal to squat in another country when you’re not a citizen. if your people doesn’t like it stay away!! i bet i’m paying for your education and healthcare. should i go to your people’s place and tell you you what i don’t like. working americans want our tax dollars to benefit working americans again. your entitled 16 year old opinion is typical. want want want free free free confederates lost says january 12, 2021 at 8:05 pm you are a foolish person who doesn’t understand what the framers were trying to avoid. trump traitors or trump terrorists? charles l crew says january 9, 2021 at 9:10 am the bleach thing was a sourchaistic joke to the fine and evil media. fact check how often joe biden tells the truth. i did he lied 33 times on the last pres debate. why you can go to prison for lying to congress. but its ok for congress to lie to the america. get ready for communism, and a civil war started by democrats again. jared says january 9, 2021 at 10:48 am it is not that your opinion does not matter it is that you have no facts to support your opinion you have not done your research to see all the good that trump has done for this country and how he has turned around everything that the democratic party has destroyed. it’s not a matter of who is right but what is right if it were not for trump america would be in and even worse position then we are now. if it were not for trump america wouldn’t know exactly how corrupt the government is .i’m glad to see someone of your age does have an opinion on the matter though and highly commend you for trying to follow along. however what you have failed to realize is that all the news and broadcast companies out there are pretty much own by the democratic party so have done nothing but lie to the american people for who knows how long. lora says january 9, 2021 at 11:39 am trump didn’t orphan and children! first of all. if you break the law.. consequences. all teens know that, so adults know that too. how are you blaming trunk for someone else’s wrong choices? that’s crazy and that is exactly what sociapaths do. . he has done way more then not raise taxes. he has always been a good man and had done so much for so many. maybe before your start running your mouth. actually investigate. and i’m not talking about these child molesters and govt crooks & what they are feeding you. they been stealing and hiding way more then your brain could actually fathom. cedric says january 9, 2021 at 2:35 pm jennifer, you are right. do not listen to people that have to degrade you due to your age or opinion in order to make themselves feel better about about their own failings in life. your opinion matters more than you think because the future is yours and your peers to shape. all us old folks will no longer be around when it matters for you. don’t let anyone tell you your views don’t matter. some of these comments here make me laugh due to the hypocrisy. they claim you are being influenced by the fake news then turn around and make unsubstantiated claims about voter fraud and socialism…..ideas they got from the media and social media. they are not thinking for themselves they are followers and want a dictator. the current president is not quite up to the task but he is clearing the way for a smarter authoritarian. they are in a cult. look into cult behavior and you will see a lot of similarities. and as you have probably noticed, they spew vitriol as much as anyone. last thing….none of their arguments matter. it’s because they are arguments from bad faith. most people are intelligent enough to know their was no wide spread voter fraud. the true believers have been brainwashed. the fact is the republicans despise the democrats and everything they stand for to the point that democrats and others on the left are beneath them. some on the right even think they are evil. the right wants sovereign rule for the duration. see, the right does not believe in equality. they see society structured as a hierarchy with themselves at the top. they do not believe that democrats votes should count. they do not believe that black people votes should count. they do not believe that minorities and immigrants votes should could. but they can’t really say this because then they expose themselves as the racist bigoted haters that they truly are and that does not look good so they talk about election fraud and socialism and all other sorts of made up nonsense instead. most know better especially gop representatives in government who fear the president and his base. enough so that they go along with him so that he and his base don’t turn on them and ruin their careers and lives, not to mention threaten the well being of their families. that’s dictator stuff right their. but trump is just a wannabe. he’s a weak person with a lot of personal issues that render him unable to lead. the thing to worry about is that he and his followers are setting precedent for a smarter trump to come along. their will be a lot of sorry republicans around when they realize, if that’s possible, what they’ve done. i often wonder, if they want an authoritarian ruler why not just move to russia or north korea or china. they’d fit right in. just remember during these confusing and scary times that we really all just want the same thing. we want to be able to raise our kids in a safe environment, have decent jobs, contribute to our communities, be healthy,…..all those sorts of things. so don’t hate the right wing thugs. have compassion for them. at the end of the the day we all want the same things, they just believe they alone deserve those things. so don’t let anyone tell you your views don’t matter or that your too young to have a say. be strong. linda darnall says january 9, 2021 at 8:50 pm jennifer, i really want to encourage you> what beautiful, wise and above all, powerful words you have just written here! thank you so much from the bottom of my heart  you speak from your experience, and from your heart  please keep on speaking, and writing! you were given a gift: you & your words are the gift  please never doubt that your youth is not a negative, but a positive. that you and others like you are not encouraged is a travesty and a sin  you deserve to be heard, just as much as any other person. please don’t forget that! thank you so much for sharing, in spite of your doubts about whether you would be heard  you are challenging us to think, which is what public schools should be doing teaching critical thinking skills, but they’re usually not doing that! don’t ever doubt that you have been given the gift of intelligence, and the ability to write and communicate wonderfully, for a reason. so that you can continue to encourage and uplift others, and help them find their own voice ,even in the midst of much opposition and pain. god bless you. michelle burson says january 9, 2021 at 9:11 pm your opinion is very important as everyone is entitled to their own opinion. it is very important for anyone that wants to form an opinion to educate themselves and be open to multiple sides if the story. there is a good reason that there’s going to be a 10 day blackout and that’s due to the raw video out there. the ones that are live streaming or that are recording the events as they were taking place. that content will soon be destroyed if it wasn’t backed up. look up content from the white house events that took place just the other day. buses of individuals being dropped off. look for people with backwards hats. guan bulbus says january 10, 2021 at 7:37 am jennifer, please consider this for you and your loved ones sake. do more research before you allow yourself to be swayed by false narratives and seemingly good, but secretly malicious, ideals and “policies”. don’t be fooled by their whole “unity” message. these people have wanted totalitarian control for years, and do not like losing power. find the truth! j says january 10, 2021 at 7:57 am only a 16yr old would twist his words to say that he told everyone to drink bleach. i think you are correct at 16yr old you are not paying bills, tax’s or are old enough for the socialism to affect you. thank your blessings & go find something more educational or fun to do with your life. god bless you. heather johnson says january 10, 2021 at 8:20 am well, you are young, and you have not been taught the beauties of this country. you have not seen the world at its worst, in what socialism and marxism does to communities. all you have to do is follow the death trail, it doesn’t matter how old you are to figure that one out. and yes, trump has done amazing things. and what about taxes? i’m sorry, my taxes went way down. however, biden insisted upon a 60% increase for people making over $400,000 a year. why do you think all the rappers said, nope, i’m voting trump lol. maybe it’s because nobody is entitled to anybody else’s money just because they’re doing better in life than you. that is called theft. somebody can be a multi billionaire, and i could be living under a bridge, but they don’t owe me a damn thing, now, charity is one thing. a lot of people with a lot of money give to charities and get really good tax breaks, but it’s all in their will, and it should not be required just because they have money and you don’t. no such thing is spreading the wealth. that creates pissed off bitter people. why do you think we have so many amazing foreign doctors that live here? maybe it’s because where they’re from, the ditch digger makes what the neurosurgeon makes. go do some real homework. i know they don’t teach that stuff in school anymore, but stay educated, because the system will teach you nothing tillie says january 10, 2021 at 12:11 pm young man, thanks for opining, however please know..it’s because of the grace of god that we live in the greatest nation in the world. i have lived where the people use out door toilets, no heat or running water, lived out in the mission field. what does a good leader do.. they raise an honorable family, because the fruite never falls far from the tree.. our children are a reflextion of us. if a man is consumed with world affairs, and does not take care of being a good example to raisng his children, he has lost gods commanding power. the fear of the lord..when a man does what is pleasing to god.. that is what makes great leaders that applys to you and to me. when a man had a family that cheats and steals or is crooked.. guess what, just like fruit..a rotten tree produces rotten fruite… this is not just an opinion.. it’s what the bible says.. god bless you, read 1st samuel 8;  there has been thru out history five good kings…[leaders] and 33 evil ones.. so were does joe bien fall..good or bad??? time will tell..i am not his judge mitch strong says january 10, 2021 at 2:23 pm hi jennifer. everything you said was exactly correct. trump is a horrible human being. what you are seeing in the responses are frightened men who can’t walk into a sandwhich shop without a gun in their hand. as you would expect, if they’re that scared, the idea that they might fact check something   is really terrifying. and here you are, 16 years old, and you’ve worked it out in your mind pretty well. 67% of americans believe that trump contributed to an invasion of the senate building. many of the invaders wanted to kill the vice president, stole things, punched and beat their fellow citizens, and spouted so much misinformation, it would make your head spin. so listen, save your post, print it out, and watch as time goes by   many protesters are going to jail. they think the election was rigged, but have been able to find not one concrete bit of evidence besides unproven accusations that they repeat over and over again. my advice to you is this. fact check everything they say…you will be astounded. from obama’s birth certificate to claims that biden molests children, they are all lies. what kind of men would lie like that? very weak and frightened men. you will find, in the job market, these guys will get fired very quickly. as leaders, no one will trust their words or judgment. and it all goes back to their cowardice. be brave, ignore loud mouths. ignore people who have to resort to lies. plan your life and when someone starts raising their voice and spouting nonsense…know that you won the argument long ago…and this is their way of revealing that. one last thing, please notice how they treat women. these are some of the worst abusers of female citizens. a guy was just arrested who bragged on text that he was going to shoot nancy pelosi in the head. you don’t have to like nancy, although i actually have met her and she is a wonderful person, but you have to ask yourself, do you want to raise a boy or marry a guy or be friends with a man who acts like that? these men are really babies. watch them. fact check them, but mostly, ignore them. they are losers and that is why they act so silly…and trump as you pointed out, is the biggest loser of them all. anonymous says may 28, 2021 at 12:31 pm you’re a horrible human being. john says january 10, 2021 at 3:04 pm i am sorry you have such a narrow view of not only trump, but the world. yes it is the american people who could make america great, but only when they can see clearly in order to do so. the democrats have slid so far left in their views, that they will lie, cheat, decieve, sensor free speech, steal, kill or anything else it takes to make you believe in their european world view. but, mark my words, we will all be sorry for giving in to this deception, for by the time we wake up, it will be too late!! . jay says january 10, 2021 at 5:36 pm your option does matter no matter how old you are. you live here right? however you need to be careful just believing what the media tells you. do your research. the policies used in how to handle people who come illegally were put in place before trump. i admit he’s egotistic, talks way to much, and isn’t very likeable. however he brings millions of jobs back to america by lowering the corporate tax. he worked on prison reform. strengthened our military, brought them home from never ending wars. who profits from those wars? look into that. who has deals with china? he started to rebuild america’s infrastructure. he put hard working families first. you have to remember he’s not a politician. so all of the career politicians aren’t used to dealing with a business man. check and see which president deported the most illegal immigrants. i respect that you have the courage to speak your mind. that’s what makes america great. diversity, open mindedness, people coming together to achieve a common goal. you are correct because neither side will set aside the opinions and work together. everyone seems to have the answer. sometimes we just need to be humble and actually hear what is being said by our neighbors. each person has a different perspective and when we bring those perspectives together we can achieve greatness. remember how many men worked on the u.s. constitution. those men set aside their differences and worked together and put together the greatest country on earth. for 16 years old you have a great mind. remember always question everything and look for the facts. sometimes what is being said is far from the truth. decide for yourself. don’t always go with what is popular, because it’s not always right. thank you for your time. god bless and keep working hard. i believe you can make a difference. shirley says january 10, 2021 at 5:56 pm you have listened to the twisted lies if you go research on what trump said it’s not what you stated here the media twisted what he actually said which was could a disinfectant be put into the oungs of people and yes it’s done sol the time by territory therapist doctors treat patients with many medications directly in to the lungs. many presidents have said that illegal immigration has to stop the children are safer being quarantined from some of the people who have been detained they are at risk in the area that adults are held the children don’t all have parents but those that do get to see their parents, the medical facilities are very nice better than a lot of americans have, obama had the holding areas built but unless you research it well you won’t hear that, the democrats don’t tell you the truth about much of anything, i don’t depend on their information. clinton obama and several others have said it needed to stop but did nothing, now the democrats want to tear down what of the wall has been built, this only makes it more dangerous because people coming risk their children to ruthless people to be brought to america and hundreds die at the hands of these people. they are exploited held against their will raped sold and murdered it would be better to stop it and investigate people coming to do it legally it’s much safer, no one said they can’t come just do what is safer and less exploitation of the people. for the piece of mind please research the falsehoods that people are being fed because of the lefts agenda to put our country in to socialism and communism way worse for every american. i don’t want you or my children and grandchildren to live in a country where everything is dictated to you. it’s makes no sense what they are lying about to get their way it effects every young person, we are not perfect but if you have never seen what communism is you may want to talk to someone who has been there. young minds like yours should always look at both sides dont listen to one side opinions, get the truth from studying what and why the things are being done. it’s easy to just believe what they push at you everyday but those tactics are not what you need check the news media are giving their opinion not what truly happened, you used to be able to believe what was reported but now they give their narrative not what is really said or done. spayne says january 10, 2021 at 8:44 pm your writing skills are great from a grammatical standpoint, but you clueless to what is really going on. the propaganda that they are feeding you has got you thinking exactly what they want you to think. look up trumps accomplishments and you will be amazed at what you find. your just not going to hear it from media controlled by the left. if you love america, i urge you to do your homework and prepare to defend it from the virus that has already worked it’s way in… and it’s name is not covid 19. 🇺🇸 donna m mills says january 11, 2021 at 1:05 am you are right about 1 thing . you are to young an inexpierienced to understand what really goes on you are apparently hispanic or black you point that out all to well. so you are having a pity party in school. grow up get some counselling and read up on the real world my family was called dago because the were italian . trump is good for business and minorities and together we can make america great agian unfourtantely we now have a socialist ass hole in office who is corrupt and yes cheated most likely with obamas help to get in office and he is a carreer corrupt ploitician. grow up !!!!! tracy a wallace says january 11, 2021 at 1:53 am as i read your opinion of trump and the human race, by the time i reached the 3rd sentence of the second paragraph i quickly form an opinion that you make claims of yourself that you cant support and its painfully obvious that you are misinformed on the facts and therefore you haven’t even taken the time to educate yourself of the true facts of the subject matter which you chose to address. you are 16 and you are allowed to make these mistakes at this age as long as you learn from them and correct them. you make very generalized and vague statements that can not be debated to a sound conclusion because many of them have no definitive position to benchmark e.g.. “but there really is no such thing as being right” that statement is not true in a very big way and it is not well defined. if i say that” its a fact that man kind has landed on the moon”, and you respond by saying “that’s not true”, i am right and you are wrong. this is very important to understand because if you go through life believing that there is no such thing as being right, you are going to be the type of person that always must argue your point to no ends because you can not admit when you are wrong. by ‘wrong’ i define this as ‘your statement is one in which can be accurately defined based on the availability of published undisputable facts that exist on the subject matter. (scientific theories verses a hypothesis) people with narcitistic personality disorder have an inherent characteristic of never being able to admit when they are wrong. there is such thing as a wrong and a right. right does exist. when you grow older and engage in a relationship, if you make a false claim to your spouse and they decide to dispute it and happen to be successful because there are facts that support their position, but you insist that there is no such thing as being right, therefore your spouse is not right, then you are likely to develop serious problems in relationships and in life itself. being able to admit when you are wrong is a very important trait in life. when someone admits that they are wrong, they essentially have admitted that the other person is right. so, there is absolutely such thing as ‘being right’ one more then i will stop. when you drink bleach its travels down ones esophagus. covid does not travel into the esophagus to infect a person, it infects by traveling through the trachea, larynx and then into the lungs. therefore drinking bleach never reaches the places where covid secures itself to cause infection. i honestly believe that trump is intelligent enough to understand this important part of the human anatomy. therefore trump would not make e serious statement as such nor stand firm on its truth. however, based on your statement, it appears that you believe that trump did say this and does believe it. if i take this example and multiply it by 6 or 7, i summarize my response to your post and this tells me as the reader that you are one of millions that are misinformed about trump and likely another victim of the main stream medias constant lies. you are holding onto this false information and judging trump accordingly which is wrong. if you took the time to fact check your opinions and replace them with the real truth rather than letting other peoples statements permanently form your positions of subjects, you be on your way to becoming a well informed person and a realist. my intent was not to speak down on you, it was to be real with you so that you can make adjustments before you became an adult and become stubborn holding onto this very common problem with people today. i praise you for your courage to past though. common sense says january 11, 2021 at 6:44 am your right your opinion doesn’t matter obama built the cages you so mention of separation of children. so you blame trump that’s why your opinion doesn’t matter a man that’s been in politics for 4 years and all the pricks that made it their career 47 years of failure. american woman says january 11, 2021 at 6:48 am you have evry right to be heard, just as any adult. your thoughts are well written! i would hope that you will pay very close attention to what others here wrote, and again to your writing; it is obvious who is for and who is against trump. these people forget that we live in a democracy where there are supposed to be a check and balance system in place. mathematically speaking,yes the election was rigged. hundreds of thousands of votes for one person in a mere minute and a discontinue of votes for the other is literally impossible, even in the closest of counts. there is nothing that can be done when people decide to take action, which is my next point…it’s up to your and my generation to be the change we hope to see as we are the up and coming. the president does hold importance but you recognized he is just one person. news and social media blame one specific person but forget that congress and senate are a giant part of this as well. forget the president for a moment, focus on getting patriots in, not career politicians. politicians don’t care about the average american. you are wise to see this now, because hind sight is 20/20! leave the “sides” behind and choose to be american. good job,and keep thinking! keep questioning. most of all take peoples opinions with a grain of salt. some people are insightful and others…well they can process oxygen fairly well i guess. don’t forget to take a breath. nothing is permanent especially if you are the change you want to see happen. also…anyone who took this opportunity to convince this poor gal for or against..shame on you. that is her decision not an invitation for berating. thank you to everyone adding perspective not pressure. anonymous says january 11, 2021 at 1:42 pm u did not have enough facts to write this. more brainwashing nick eliopulos says january 11, 2021 at 2:24 pm i think that if you keep your senses open and your mind open and read and talk to a variety of people, you’re going to have a better chance of making it through the society. your observations are fine. you’re a future voter. and try to keep in mind that most adults are too dumb and insensitive to appreciate younger people. that’s how many were raised. the authoritotalitarians in this country are sanctimonious and falsely pious. there is nothing good at all about the administration. the democrats have their own history of collective mistakes. they are misguided and cautious because we are held hostage by the traditional minded people in particularly those with enormous wealth. and lastly, whenever an american tries to express something about socialism communism capitalism freedom christianity democracy, they usually don’t know of what they speak. be careful. it’s amazing as it is that you have not surrendered your mind. good on you. anonymous says january 12, 2021 at 12:07 pm the best voice of reason i have heard on this sight !! from the mouth of a young person. such bravery and common sense !! take your children to one of these trump rallies show them what democracy and truth is all about. go ahead and tell them that half of america are bad evil people because that’s what trump told us. i want my children to know that we are all human beings and we are all worthy and god loves each one of us no matter what policies we believe in. we cannot pledge allegiance to one man we pledge allegiance to america and freedom. i pray that republican and democrat children will grow up and run for office and make america what it should be a balanced society based on freedom not just for some but for all!!! karen green says january 13, 2021 at 12:01 pm you have totally just “parroted” the the cnn talking points. how sad. if an african american student in your class feels she cannot express herself, that pressure is coming from the left not conservatives. the left constantly makes minorities feel like they are incapable of an intelligent thought that they need “woke” liberals to show them the way to happiness. your teacher should “nurture” this student and encourage her to participate more. she is getting pressure from some woke lefties making her feel inadequate. i know, i’ve seen this “wokeism” before. donald trump increased his popularity with african americans, latinos and asians and increased their household incomes and jobs access for many minorities for the first time in a long time. just wait for biden. yes, higher taxes, “gimmie programs” free college, free money, free jobs. free this free that !!! didn’t your parents ever tell you nothing is “free” ?? somebody pays for it. he is beholden to china and has been compromised by china so you better learn to speak mandarin because you are going to need that talent in the near future. god help us all !! veeanne says january 13, 2021 at 6:25 pm thank you jennifer. it is the american people that make american great. we’ve always been great and although we have work to do, we have been a great nation that the world has looked to as a beacon of hope. but since donald trump we are seen as a country that has fallen to a demagogue. we have fallen for a cult leader who has now led thousands to attack the capital of the usa.. he will be the first president in our history who has purposely divided america, gaslights america and now impeached twice. he will be banned from running for president again. he is facing several state charges for fraud and more. he also had to pay millions in payouts for defrauding people with his phony university, he has more associates going to jail than even nixon. he has incited violence against minorities too. he’s a horrible person, and he’s a charlatan. . he will be remembered as a traitor to the usa. history will not be kind to donald trump. he is a clear and present danger to america. last week’s terrorist attack by our own people (all trump supporters that he lied to that he won the election and they had to go get it back for him). it was beyond acceptable what he did last week. top republicans have voted for him to be impeached and to never been in the party again.. we’ve never had a president who calls the other party “the enemy” and “radical” when he is the one who is radical and incited america’s radicals to go fight his “holy war”. god helps us. he also is responsible for the 4000 + deaths a day due to this pandemc; he has never felt any empathy for the victims, and he has shown no leadership for this pandemic. he lied about it and now has millions believing this virus is all fake news. the worst president in american history and there’s not even a close 2nd. he also lied about winning this election when his own attorney general has said it was a fair election and no facts to support that trump won, 50 lawsuits dismissed due to no facts that he won (including his own appointed supreme court judges), lindsey graham and mitch mcconnel both certified joe biden as the winner. people will be ashamed that their family supported this dangerous cult leader who is a narcissist and criminal. and he will also be remembered a traitor senator liz cheney said “he has betrayed america like no other president has ever done”. god help us.” for many shall come and deceive many”. anonymous says january 17, 2021 at 5:36 am @jennifer !! you’re opinion does matter!! you are america’s future! you have the ability to possibly change all of this hate! i’m sorry you are so young going through all of this crazy! stay positive and believe in yourself!! donald trump jr says january 24, 2021 at 9:27 am typical racist coward black sheep are the worst. linda says january 5, 2021 at 1:41 am this is a very good article. thank you for sharing. i look forward to publishing more such works. there are not many such articles in this field. fallen from usa says january 6, 2021 at 8:49 pm my father died for this country in war he’s buried in this land we’re foreigners are walking over top of them stealing his children’s job stealing their money and future selling it to the chinese indian russians mexicans everywhere you look there is more crime our government is legalizing drugs in our country really i want all the politicians to realize what they’ve done they destroyed our planet coming up with covid 19 so the chinese can come in and take over a country the democrats are at fault more than the republicans but there are a lot of crooked publicans to what flavor ice cream would you like me to bring you some hell love and miss you dad saw you died for these people to take over and sell your country up the disgraced us god bless i wonder what flavor ice cream no like in hell i’ll bring it to him donald whistler says january 7, 2021 at 4:40 pm amen brother, guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 6:09 pm please try to use punctuation in your sentences which are very difficult to read. what does a flavor of ice cream have to do with anything? mike says january 7, 2021 at 11:45 pm wow.. you prove the point that the young people in america are so easily lead and manipulated by social media platforms and fake news. i only have one suggestion to you. open up the bible and learn to care about people. young one, it is almost certain that you will be run over and flattened out by the wave of hate in which the communists have planted in the far left democratic biden administration. enjoy your freedom of speech now because you are about to loose it. anonymous says january 14, 2021 at 1:50 pm you all love the to live in terror. brandy nicole ranly says january 9, 2021 at 3:30 am well then he’s turning in his grave with you supporting traitors like djt llfrd says january 9, 2021 at 11:21 pm there is no hell. the pope for the believers gary von neida says january 8, 2021 at 10:24 pm socialism promised a utopia and resulted in stalin’s giulag (66 million dead in slave labor camps) and communist china where they continue to die in 2021. permreader says january 4, 2021 at 12:11 pm trump`ve done the heavy dirty fight with the swamp for you, the talkers. so you`ve lost and will be punished for the laziness and the cowardice. and you have to fight the leftist plague now! daphne says january 6, 2021 at 10:18 am agree! we will become ruled by a police state led by antifa steadily cowed down by fear and broken by sky high taxes anonymous says january 7, 2021 at 9:51 am you’re a disgusting human being and should be put in a hole in the ground and considered a plague tracie says january 10, 2021 at 1:58 am awwwww intolerant and offended that can always be expected from your single minded people. 😘 toolman says february 9, 2022 at 5:38 pm tracie you are a moron the more you depend on government the less freedom you have anonymous says january 13, 2021 at 10:33 pm oh god. you are full of hate. you people seriously need to stop blaming trump. is your kind who starts not president trump. gary von neida says january 8, 2021 at 10:26 pm socialism promised a utopia and resulted in stalin’s giulag (66 million dead in slave labor camps) and communist china where they continue to die in 2021.cowards like pence shall go to their graves in utter shame they could have  well i digress. earl says january 4, 2021 at 11:28 am cnn biden and harris are all communists they hate america they hate the american people they want to take every liberty away from us they want to change the constitution they want to be like hitler gwen says january 7, 2021 at 2:55 am you know your not right in the head. you can’t generalize lefts or rights just like you can generalize all men..oe all women..or races like all blacks or all whites. instead of fearing and hating those who are different than you realize how this world would be if everyone was the same. this would be a very beige world if we all acted and thought the same. there would be no poetry, music or art. the world would be a pretty sad place if everyone looked and thought the same. i try and have empathy for everyone. i daughter just graduated from uc santa cruz and she gets pretty upset with wasp males because she thinks they are all racists and phonies but i keep telling her that it’s not their fault the are white males..you can’t help how ur born. and if they were raised by bigots thats not their fault either. but if they believe in god and don’t believe that all people are equal then we must pity them. guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 6:24 pm biden and harris have already proven what they are and what they will do by their actions. and it is the daughter from uc santa cruz that is racist since she is making a generalization without facts and assuming that “they are all racists and phonies” and lumping them into one group instead of treating them as the individuals they are. she has probably received the usual liberal brainwashing from her college. gary von neida says january 8, 2021 at 10:29 pm hate whites as they founded america are ypu proud? charles l crew says january 9, 2021 at 9:16 am very good! but if the dems get their way no more god. lora says january 9, 2021 at 11:44 am speak english. we are not weak. we will not let anti american confused gender and pro nouns take over. this is a passing phase. we will fight to get our country back. do of god and love.. amen joseph dinya says january 7, 2021 at 9:12 am actually trump is more like hitler. going on national tv lying straight to our faces, telling us to put bleach in our body to get rid of covid, and totally ignoring one of the smartest docs in america. and don’t get me started on how trump speaks. my 6 year old talks better than him. america is better off without an idiot like that debra says january 7, 2021 at 8:15 pm you sound like a very uneducated idiot. gary von neida says january 8, 2021 at 10:31 pm oh you fools, hitler & stalin were both socialists a hairs breath away fro marxist/communists stop watching the fake marxist msm. dan says january 21, 2021 at 2:25 am they were authoritarians. much like trump wanted and tried to be. socialism and communism and capitalism are not forms of government. they are economic systems. you moron steven says january 8, 2021 at 10:56 pm are you freaking kidding me…what on earth is someone like you doing with a child, your ignorance would suggest you shoulnt even own a dog let alone father a child..seriously, god help us.. luke says january 9, 2021 at 9:10 am the problem is that today’s democrat voter is part of the dumbest, most indoctrinated group of morons to ever walk planet earth. while earth has existed for billions of years, we have experienced the horrors of communism in just the last 100 years  what most clueless a mericans don’t know is that approx.100 years ago, emma goldman, a jewish communist and others began infecting our body politic with commy ideology(leading one of her sheep to murder president mckinley in buffalo).she ,being a good bolshevik, left the u.s. for russia and helped her fellow lefties form the soviet union( which led to re education camps where millions suffered and died). according to my neighbor, the jew bolsheviks  set up ” rat squads” in every neighborhood to spy on people who would be arrested and taken away if they did anything or said anything which the commies didn’t approve of. emma, apparently possessing a shred of humanity herself, became disillusioned with the communist hell that she’d helped create, and begged to get back into america. back here, our great general patton knew that we were “fighting the wrong people” in going after hitler  not because adolf wasn’t a bad guy, but because he correctly saw the jewish commy threat in russia was more dangerous to america…turns out, he was right . today, when u see our “jewish friends” like “suckerberg”, schumer, sanders, and soros( the four jews of the apocalypse, as i call them) , and then u research and begin to note that jewish commies have literally overrun every institution of power, then u might begin to wonder why the useful idiots tools of these leftists could be this cluelessly stupid  the truth is, propaganda is powerful even intelligent people fall victim to the continuous drumbeat of hate coming out of hollywood and the media for our country and conservatism( freedom). karl marx, i believe, said ” give me your children and by age 5 they’ll be devout communists. this is why marxists here begin indoctrinating your children in govt  commy schools as early as possible now. by the way, i’ve got jewish relatives throughout my family tree, so all of you “triggered ” sheep can save it. just trying to shine the light of truth on an increasingly dark planet. charles l crew says january 9, 2021 at 9:35 am the bleach thing was a sourchistic joke to the fine upstanding evil media. so you prefer lyin joe biden.fact check how often he actually might tell the truth.. lyin joe biden lied 33 times on the last pres debate. what’s going on now with brain washing the young is exactly what hitler did. i fact check how many register voters and how many votes were counted. you more than likely can see the truth. jared says january 9, 2021 at 10:54 am all i can say is wow you’re really that ignorant evidently you are not even sure why i’m wasting my time with your response it’s just that it’s very upsetting to me to see people like you in our country lfrd says january 9, 2021 at 11:32 pm now will we ever be great again??? if you keep bringing up hitler you have to kill 6 millions of americans to get a correct flavor of what u mean cannot believe how ignorant many americans are. don’t believe that?? who stole the election?? tillie says january 10, 2021 at 12:45 pm oh please , he is not a liar, please tell us what he lied about.. the left hate that he brought forty evengelicals to pray over the white house, prior to moving in. to clear out all evil spirits within the living space/apartment.. why because hillary was talking to the dead and bragged about it.. she said she was having long conversations with eleanor roosevelt. thats called necromancy the practice of claiming to foretell the future, by alleged communicating with the dead.. called black magic sorcery..a very evil practise.. condemed by god..obama, faithful to his fait muslim, had prayer rugs a prayer room for his muslim practice.. which they do not pray to the god of moses ,jacob, or abraham.. we belive there is only one god..and they belive alla is the almighty..that as well lieves unclean spirits. nancy reagon would aways consult furtune tellers for her daily advice to the president.. that as well was evil..we are to depend on godly wisdom, by prays and asking god almighty.. however my point is that many in washington.. are not god fearing rulers and the house was full..from evil spirits. and ungodly people peaple chosen by evil by the voters begiled by liaers. as for how,! trump talks.. your now picking the fly shit out of the pepper. he was gods chosen for this hour, and as always god has the final word. and our now president will be rewarded by god almighy and judges by god almighty not you or me. these are my personal opinons thank you. tillie says january 10, 2021 at 1:02 pm i wrote this, without looking at the key board, i type 88 letters per min..should always check for mispelled words..yeak! mitch strong says january 10, 2021 at 2:30 pm trump is very much an authoratative leader like stalin or hitler. this week, that was laid bare for all but the most brainwashed to see. it is astonishing that his people chanted “hang mike pence,” and this didn’t bother him a bit. he didn’t even check in with pence to see if he was ok. the good news is that those who believe in conspiracy theories always lose in the end. look at all the maga maniacs getting arrested and fired this week. i really do hope they can get past all the hate and lies. we need a conservative party that is rational…not seething with hate. freedom says january 10, 2021 at 4:08 pm you must be joe biden or kamo harris. please stop spreading your ignorance and hate. please educate yourself. lfrd says january 9, 2021 at 11:29 pm now will we ever be great again??? if you keep bringing up hitler you have to kill 6 millions of americans to get a correct flavor of what u mean frank says december 31, 2020 at 10:24 am liberals are so out of touch with reality. no one deserves or is garunteed anything. go to school, learn a trade or get a degree that will actually get you a carreer. pay your bills   nothing is free. if you dont like what america is or how it became, pack your shit and leave. no one is keeping you here. as far as biden, he cannot complete a sentance. they will invoke the 25th on him and move harris into office. look at california   its broke. f**ked up. that will be the model for the usa under her control. the liberal utopia is a pipe dream, better stock up with essentials and pick a overpass because everything will be taken away with no fight or questioning. they already provec it with the covid lockdown and mask bs. only the strong will get through this. there will be no safe spaces, no cry rooms and nothing for free. best of luck to everyone snd may god keep you safe. oh and if the word god offended you, too f**king bad. anne jakobs says january 6, 2021 at 3:11 pm the constitution was written by god fearing people for the safety of the people! amen. it is for the people by the people the reason it used to work is because people were god fearing people, people now don’t know how to govern themselves because they are self righteous people we are screwed!!! but god! he alone is our hope. come on jesus, raise us up🙏✝️ bev says january 6, 2021 at 6:27 pm amen! the fist says january 6, 2021 at 10:37 pm you’re a scumbag maggot ignoramus, brainwashed with conservative republican ideology, immoral to its core and supporting the american predatory capitalist economic system that rewards a handful of people with 95% of the resources, leaving american workers drowning in debt and struggling to survive. how about you pack your shit and get the fuck out of here while us humans create a system that guarantee health care and education as the human right that it’s supposed to be and actually is in every other developed nation on earth. you piece of shit. guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 6:30 pm poor “fist.” you’ve got it so backwards. it is the american capitalist system that has raised the wellbeing of people all over the world. and as far as your guaranteed health care and education   you will wait a looooooong time to see your doctor when it’s ‘free.’ i’ve spoken with healthcare workers and one nurses told me of her sister who had cancer. she had to wait in line to be seen and by the time she received her “free” doctor’s visit her cancer had metastasized and she died. if you want socialism so badly and love it so much then why don’t you go live in a socialist country?! i’ll tell you why not   because you are full of bull. mebster says january 8, 2021 at 2:18 pm uhm, and yet the people in this country have a much higher quality of life than in other countries where your “free” socialist programs exist. and btw, how did you come to determine that education and health care is a basic human right? why don’t you add food, water, cell phones, internet, and housing? why stop there you jacktard? let’s add transportation, clothing, gas, and electricity…, herein lies the problem… you have someone’s fist jammed so far up your rear end that you fail to understand how these commodities are created, distributed and maintained. you have no end game.. once you get everything for free you’ll still be the whinny little boy asking for more. go to venezuela and speak to the people there about the “socialist utopia” they have and how it destroyed the 4th richest nation in the world. stupid a$$hole. sharp says january 8, 2021 at 7:26 pm can’t you express your feelings without looking like lunatic i’m sure people are avoiding. it’s ridiculous to be this way to anyone for any reason. people don’t have to agree with you mister says january 9, 2021 at 11:43 am your are the piece of shit, & those with your mentallity.. your also blind as fuck. get your eyes checked & then go get a 10 dollar coffee from star bucks like normal, then tell your self some more lies about the other half of the country! l says january 9, 2021 at 11:45 am how are we brainwashed. why are you so disgusting and hateful. we don’t go around thinking killing innocent babies is ok. so. ..i think you are out of your mind bc. you are. that’s a fact. charles l crew says january 10, 2021 at 8:39 am when communism hits us maybe you brain washed democrats at less some of you will see the truth its out there.what you going to do when china, iran, korea invade america. they already saying their coming after us freedom says january 10, 2021 at 4:13 pm i feel so sorry for all of you that think you are owed free stuff. let me remind all of you… the federal state and local gover6take money from people who get up everyday and go to work. that money is used for people like you that think all should be given to you for free. where is the reward in that. i suggest reading the truth and making amends with your creator. hell is an eternity not a great place to be. ed says january 11, 2021 at 9:07 am written like a true liberal! heather says january 7, 2021 at 7:22 am agreed with all you said. gary von neida says january 8, 2021 at 10:32 pm stop calling the useful idiots liberal they are marxist communists parading as socialists. james says january 11, 2021 at 3:26 pm frank; to have the right to life, literally means you are entitled to life ! you frank are the one who is out of touch with the reality of what this nation was founded upon, and represents; as all right wingers are ! deb says december 29, 2020 at 5:12 pm all great nations have fallen from within and america will surely follow with biden and harris at the helm they do not get that its the person that bags your groceries or takes your call at the doctors office they are not for the people that keep america running. biden will not be able to fulfill his term in office then we will get her and she is a nightmare. we had the best president in trump he delivered on every promise he made to the american people. it seems like the liberal media want to erase everything that america was built on and instead of learning from the past they want to eradicate it. anonymous says december 30, 2020 at 4:59 pm 1. the left doesn’t hate america. why would anyone living in america hate it. does wanting to improve or change things in our country mean we hate it? no. 2. donald trump is a con man and a crook. you can say the “fake news media” has convinced me of this, but that is not true. i have been convinced by the actions of the man himself. he violated the emoluments clause during his presidency. he was supposed to hand his businesses over to a blind trust. instead, he signed them over to his sons and son in law and has made millions while in office. if you think he is a good man you are a fool and a rube. 3. nothing in the lives of middle class people has improved under his presidency. healthcare has not become affordable. college has not become more affordable. nothing has been down about exorbitant interest on student loan debt that is crippling a generation of hard working individuals. yes, hard working. what the fuck is the liberal media? you mean the news? you idiots have no concept of truth anymore. the new york times  not true. cnn  not true. all newspapers and major news outlets in fact constitute your so called “liberal media.” wake up! you are being taking for a ride! if you had lived during nazi germany you fools would be wearing swastikas and shouting out zeig heil. ugh, it’s just so stupid it hurts. it honestly hurts. you are cheering an evil man. you are not living in reality. you are the victim of propaganda, but you think i am, because i believe what i read in the actual news instead of what you’re seeing on fox or even better, some fucking q anon site. this editorial is nothing but platitudes and empty words. there are no facts in this editorial. american conservatism is based on “biblical christian principle” while democratic socialism is based on “godless marxism.” what about separation of church and state? is our government supposed to be christian? no it is not. it’s there to serve the people. anonymous says december 30, 2020 at 7:37 pm democratic 🤮 t.t says january 6, 2021 at 2:23 am who is out stealing elections and using psychological terror it is not trump. its the spear chicken obama who will recieve the death penalty before we the people are finished luke says january 9, 2021 at 9:14 am the problem is that today’s democrat voter is part of the dumbest, most indoctrinated group of morons to ever walk planet earth. while earth has existed for billions of years, we have experienced the horrors of communism in just the last 100 years  what most clueless a mericans don’t know is that approx.100 years ago, emma goldman, a jewish communist and others began infecting our body politic with commy ideology(leading one of her sheep to murder president mckinley in buffalo).she ,being a good bolshevik, left the u.s. for russia and helped her fellow lefties form the soviet union( which led to re education camps where millions suffered and died). according to my neighbor, the jew bolsheviks  set up ” rat squads” in every neighborhood to spy on people who would be arrested and taken away if they did anything or said anything which the commies didn’t approve of. emma, apparently possessing a shred of humanity herself, became disillusioned with the communist hell that she’d helped create, and begged to get back into america. back here, our great general patton knew that we were “fighting the wrong people” in going after hitler  not because adolf wasn’t a bad guy, but because he correctly saw the jewish commy threat in russia was more dangerous to america…turns out, he was right . today, when u see our “jewish friends” like “suckerberg”, schumer, sanders, and soros( the four jews of the apocalypse, as i call them) , and then u research and begin to note that jewish commies have literally overrun every institution of power, then u might begin to wonder why the useful idiots tools of these leftists could be this cluelessly stupid  the truth is, propaganda is powerful even intelligent people fall victim to the continuous drumbeat of hate coming out of hollywood and the media for our country and conservatism( freedom). karl marx, i believe, said ” give me your children and by age 5 they’ll be devout communists. this is why marxists here begin indoctrinating your children in govt  commy schools as early as possible now. by the way, i’ve got jewish relatives throughout my family tree, so all of you “triggered ” sheep can save it. just trying to shine the light of truth on an increasingly dark planet. anonymous says january 6, 2021 at 6:08 pm you are full of bs! check your facts, they are lies! jenuwin says january 11, 2021 at 9:54 pm well said anonymous. michael paul hurless says december 30, 2020 at 8:35 pm thank you every word is true anonymous says december 30, 2020 at 9:43 pm the healthcare problem is the fault of the other conman , namely obama. get your facts straight cynthia says december 31, 2020 at 8:47 am you are a person who is living in an alternate universe, you have trump confused with obama, your statements only go to show your derangement. dr says december 31, 2020 at 5:45 pm you are dead wrong….trump is not the crook….trump gives his salary to needed entities each and every month. trump does not need tax payer money he has his own earned from many trials and tribunes in growing his business;s. the crooks my friend are the ones you support.and voted for…the bidens the clintons the obamas the demobat congrass and the cheaters in high places under the gize of working for the people….(algore comes to mind….) china props up the biden family for return favors with tax payer give aways….russia propped up hillary and willy……lobbyists prop up demobats and old swamp rinos. my advice to you…..start thinking with your brain instead out you a** and get some intelligence before it is too late….trump is hated because he takes away th eability from those who are screwing this country into the ground…….nothing the left has charged him with in over 4 years has turned to be true…all false charges supported by a leftbat commie inspired news media ed says january 7, 2021 at 12:23 pm you folks all have several things in common: you cannot spell. you think trump cares about you. ( he doesn’t ) his tax cut only benefits him and other wealthy people. not you. not me. you all thought you were going to get health coverage. you didn’t. he had control of the senate. they passed nothing in the way of health legislation, in 4 years. he is a con artist. always has been. always will be. and it’s sad that he conned so many of my fellow americans. why is it that whenever someone disagrees with one of his positions, they are labeled as socialists , or communist, i know why. you all are fucktards, morons, and stupid., who are following a fucktard, who also happens to be a stupid moron! anonymous says january 7, 2021 at 8:21 pm who the hell benefited from obama care? no one!!! anonymous says january 8, 2021 at 7:40 pm your a brain washed commi!good luck working for the cup or else your ass will end up in a camp! anonymous says january 10, 2021 at 9:46 pm both parties say whatever just to ge your both. after that. oh well anonymous says january 7, 2021 at 3:59 pm totally agree. thanks! amen! guest4579@google.com says january 7, 2021 at 4:12 pm amen and thanks!! bruce runner says december 31, 2020 at 8:40 pm i can hear the hatred in your words , anonymous says january 1, 2021 at 4:05 pm well done! your last paragraph needed to be said by some one educated and willing to speak out. i reside in the bible belt of america and see for myself separation of church and state has to be in place for very good reasons. anonymous says january 1, 2021 at 9:23 pm you aren’t making anything better with your progressive programs. you are inviting tyrannical government by giving it more power over things. shut up and sit down, real men will have to fix this because of stupid people like you. ed says january 7, 2021 at 12:24 pm you folks all have several things in common: you cannot spell. you think trump cares about you. ( he doesn’t ) his tax cut only benefits him and other wealthy people. not you. not me. you all thought you were going to get health coverage. you didn’t. he had control of the senate. they passed nothing in the way of health legislation, in 4 years. he is a con artist. always has been. always will be. and it’s sad that he conned so many of my fellow americans. why is it that whenever someone disagrees with one of his positions, they are labeled as socialists , or communist, i know why. you all are fucktards, morons, and stupid., who are following a fucktard, who also happens to be a stupid moron! jane says january 7, 2021 at 5:50 pm i see my vocabulary, you are uneducated, probably unemployed and collect from the government every way you can. good luck with communistic way. let others work for your entitlement! omegaj says january 7, 2021 at 5:50 pm sorry ed  i’m a small business owner who started under obama  i live week to week  i thank god for the tax breaks i got from president trump. if hillary had been elected i already had plans on closing up shop. vp joe has already said he would cancel the tax breaks which will hurt me terribly. guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 6:33 pm pres. trump’s tax cut certainly helped me! and you are the one who has no logical answer which is why you can only indulge yourself in name calling and filth. suesue2020 says january 8, 2021 at 12:38 am if you want health coverage then get a job, work and earn the money to pay for it! m. davis says january 1, 2021 at 9:55 pm i great awakening will come soon enough. i am unhappy that the government has paid out trillions to americans in the form of “stimulus checks.” there are no “free” rides. you seem to want complete equality.. that is marxist and communist. read the history of those if you really care about your life and peoples other lives. everyone must now pay for this fiasco. and it will come in the form of a recession… no a depression, the likes that this county has never experienced. poverty will be rampant. death will be rampant. millions of foreclosures of homes and business properties will be lost as a direct result of this liberal socialists who want total utopia. millions of men, women and children will be homeless. many will die of starvation and exposure to the elements. there will be no jobs! there will be plant closures and layoffs galore..your money (what little you have in savings) will buy very little. the usd currency will be devalued so much that it will take a wagon load of dollars to buy a loaf of bread. your country prints money like water… a never ending amount of it backed by absolutely nothing. no gold standard, no precious or semi precious metal backing whatsoever. soon the usd will plummet in purchasing power. the united states of america credit worthiness will fall to all time lows. yes, it has to to with economics and if you are smart, you should start studying that subject very carefully. keep being misled or start learning basic economics and the history of the united states. my advice to you is that you reject everything that the “america history” that is being taught to every child in the us over the past two decades about how terrible the united states is. you’d be way ahead if you quit listening to howard zinn. if you think the new president elect mr. biden with straighten this out you are a dreamer. we are already doomed as a nation by this massive spending. if you are not happy, move out of this country and move now so you will feel better! otherwise quit your complaining and start doing something to make things better here in the us. anonymous says january 7, 2021 at 11:33 am you are absolutely correct! brandy nicole ranly says january 9, 2021 at 3:24 am really? obama had 8 years to take your guns away and he never did. what’s wrong with republicans wanting to send our hard earned tax money to countries like israel who actually has universal healthcare and 2 years of service in idf where they learned responsibility and had a free education during service? what can’t you understand about how the “left” just wants us to use that money to benefit americans instead? djt could’ve started taxing wall street trading since american workers are taxed on income and every purchase why not tax their profits from trading to improve our healthcare and educational programs/systems? that’d what bernie sanders was planning on doing to pay for universal healthcare and 2 years of college/ trade school free by taxing wall street trading. anonymous says january 2, 2021 at 12:36 am evil my ass ,where did you come up with that. was it from a dream you had of dt becoming the antichrist or the devil himself or better yet, both of them .that would make him twice as evil !!! he’s one of the nicest guys u could ever meet.man for the people.no evil. tracie says january 2, 2021 at 1:15 am “in god we trust” appears on american currency. that fact all over washington d.c. buildings, in official documents, and historical speeches. less than a hundred years after its declaration of independence, in god we trust was proclaimed on its coins.maxine waters should be “wearing swastikas” /“if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, get out and create a crowd. push back and tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”healthcare has not become affordable because we can’t end obama care to do it. college has not become more affordable because colleges or professors are not willing to take “pay cuts” stop ignoring that’s the only way college can become more affordable.our tax dollars shouldn’t be responsible for it. it’s your ignorant opinion “middle class people have improved under trump presidency. if you we’re not so consumed in hate for him you could see some very reputable christians are standing with trump. he became a “born again christian” sure he’s raw, he’s a fighter for equal opportunity for people. he’s had so much verbal abuse thrown at him, but god forbid he dishes some back. no democrat could take the verbal abuse he has without probably worse come backs than trump has said. he is based on a man raised by a very hard father. your constant negativity and judgment make you look horrible. american conservatism, promoted by republicans and founded on biblical/christian principles that have resulted in the greatest country to have ever existed. democratic socialism, based on godless marxism that has resulted in catastrophic failure with over 100 million people murdered by their governments in the 20 th century alone, with millions more living in poverty and misery whenever and wherever it’s been tried. venezuela is a current example. democrat followers spew the bs and the people in office are laughing behind your back. you should really take a long look & listen to the crap your saying. trump retains the support of most faith based voters because he has delivered on the issues they care about most. evangelical voters, with 82% saying they planned to vote for trump. just recently, brokering historical peace agreements in the middle east. i prayed & prayed for god’s guidance about trump. he told me he is a very good man. maybe flawed more than others but is trying to do the rug things to help americans. so many black americans now stand behind him for what he’s done for them. alveda king highly supports him. stop judging him on who he was before he became potus. stop ignoring the democrat corruption & hypocrisy. you make a fool of yourself doing it. the hate flows through your words like a deeply disturbed brainwashed liberal. brandy nicole ranly says january 9, 2021 at 3:36 am since when did trump become a “born again christian”? i seriously want to know because he stands for the opposite of everything the messiah stood for and showed us how to live. trump has admitted that he’s never asked forgiveness for sins. that’s literally a prerequisite to becoming a christian. i won’t hold my breathe i’ve watched several interviews and trump says he never asked forgiveness for sin or repented. dax moon says january 2, 2021 at 8:38 am how do people toss away your fairly dispassioned points even most pre trump repubs accept as true so flippantly? aspenlee says january 2, 2021 at 12:37 pm your a socialist idiot. let’s see how you feel in 4 years when you no longer have any freedom or rights. only people with money will be biden and his entourage, you will be wallowing in mud but think your in paradise. better start crying now! maybe you should dig into your facts a little deeper check out the clintons see how many “clauses” that they did not follow! first did the exact same thing trump is the only one who actually did what he said he was going to do when he went into office and now all the american people act like spoiled little babies and can’t accept that they’re so used to people lying to them and being lied to they don’t want somebody who’s actually telling the truth in there they can’t handle that they’d rather people like clinton who are killing people hiding things you need to get your facts straight and you need to quit watching your damn news programs! the news call themselves the show for a reason! me says january 15, 2021 at 2:29 pm you are sucked in by “fox lying news to the point that you can’t even see the world anymore. trump has done nothing but lie chest and steal his entire life. i listened to him on a talk show over 6 years ago telling the host he knew how to control these people that didn’t do what he wanted. the host ask him how. he said i have these people who work for me. the host ask him who they were. trump said well they are commonly called thugs. “they are probably some of the same thugs he sent after stormy daniels when she was threatened in the parking garage. i love the united states of america but not loser trump. didn’t capitalize that on purpose. no respect for that moron! russell says january 3, 2021 at 10:07 am move to china if you think the usa is such a bad place to live. it is not perfect, but i would not want to live anywhere else. as history shows, once stalin and lenin got into power, the first thing they did was to kill off the opposition and the people that put them in power. both of these guys slaughtered about 35 million people. i guess that is progress. “sleepy” joe is the traitor to the usa and has sold out the us to the chinese. db nebraska republican says january 9, 2021 at 11:48 am will this be included in the first 100 days of office; “when will the ovens be built?” bob robbins says january 3, 2021 at 4:24 pm only cowards reply anonymously. anonymous says january 3, 2021 at 6:31 pm dear whoever you are; if you prefer to have rulers over your life who have no moral law giver and therefore, no moral law, please move to another country that is is not guided by christian principles or perhaps move to one where they persecute or punish anyone who has them. separation of church and state simply means the government is not allowed to dictate what religion someone ought to adopt. it also means that the government has no right to disallow, discourage or discount any religion that doesn’t infringe upon any other americans’ right. i can only imagine you have never read the constitution or the bill of rights or perhaps you lack comprehension of what the words mean. either way, know this, an honest judge listens to all testimonies and then weighs the evidence. you have not done your due diligence to comprehend either document. i recommend you take an online course and perhaps expand your vocabulary so that you don’t have to stoop to imbecilic swear words. marlene says january 7, 2021 at 11:41 pm the left does not hate america   they hate democracy, good morals, and seem to have no fear of their creator. i used to be a democrat but when they became so liberal i could no longer stay with the party. when democracy is redefined to suit themselves then they will love it. anonymous says january 3, 2021 at 6:42 pm dear whoever you are; if you prefer to have rulers over your life who have no moral law giver and therefore, no moral law, please move to another country that is is not guided by christian principles or perhaps move to one where they persecute or punish anyone who has them. separation of church and state simply means the government is not allowed to dictate what religion someone ought to adopt. it also means that the government has no right to disallow, discourage or discount any religion that doesn’t infringe upon any other americans’ right. i can only imagine you have never read the constitution or the bill of rights or perhaps you lack comprehension of what the words mean. either way, know this, an honest judge listens to all testimonies and then weighs the evidence. you have not done your due diligence to comprehend either document. i recommend you take an online course and perhaps expand your vocabulary so that you don’t have to stoop to imbecilic swear words. ee says january 3, 2021 at 9:41 pm the nazis dehumanized an entire race of people (actually, several races and religions) and thought they were not worthy of life because of their beliefs. you are the one name calling and judging. i didn’t see the author calling anyone stupid or nazis…that came from you. when all you have is hate for people who believe differently than you, you are the dangerous one and the one at risk of dehumanizing those who believe what you hate. before you judge us, look in a mirror. anonymous says january 4, 2021 at 3:14 am now that way of thinking is what will destroy this country..i expect the idea that everyone has an eight hundred square foot apartment to live in, free education ,x amount of money allocated to you weekly is your dream come true.the heck with having to make it on your own.we know how that ends don’t we? anonymous says january 4, 2021 at 4:03 pm you are so stupid living life with your eyes an mind closed to everything around you an it’s people like you who need to wake the fuck up open eyes an see the truth about joe biden an all of hollywood child molestor’s an evil worshippers unless your one of them just wait your time is coming too dr says january 4, 2021 at 5:16 pm hahhahhaahahhah ahaahah haahhha ahhahhahahhhahh ahhaahahaahhaahhaahhahah ahh hah a hahhahaha haa hahahahhahahahhhhhahah hah ahha hhahhahhhhahah hahhhahhahhhahahahahahahahah ahahhahahahahahahah ahhahahahahahahahahahah ahahhahahahahahahahahahhaha h hahahahahhaaahhahhahahahahahhahhhahahahhahhahhhahhahhahhahhahhahhahhajhaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaaahhaaaaaiiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiiaiaiaiaahhhhahha hahhahhhahhahahhahhahhhahhahhahhahhah rob says january 4, 2021 at 8:06 pm it’s not there to serve the people you half wit, it’s there to ensure the people have equal opportunity to serve themselves. government ain’t yo daddy. hclpbr says january 7, 2021 at 7:41 am love what you said! zolly simon says january 10, 2021 at 12:06 am the disciples and heirs of the french egalitarians are the marxists, communists, socialists, liberals and the political churchmen of today. who, themselves, believe they are missionaries and have theorized themselves out of reality. they refuse to concede that equal opportunity will inevitably expose unequal capabilities. rambvo says january 5, 2021 at 9:23 am you liberals have no clue! liberals are run by khazarian mafia which has now sold old america to ccp chinese communist party! that is high treason even if everybody is doing it! fake media and medical mafia also corrupt as hell! do your homework then see why americans want trump! god speed maga! ask your congressmen to vote for trump this january 6, email them now!!! 🙂 anonymous says january 5, 2021 at 7:10 pm you are right! the gates of hell are about to open up. these idiots have no clue, but the school system has failed to teach history. the power hungry left are so blinded by money and power they can’t see because they have their heads so far up their asses they are not going to be in power. they will probably be publicly executed so the rest of america will comply. they give our hard working tax money to foreign countries and keep a percentage for themselves thinking they are protected stupidity!! trump is an american who wants for americans. i had the pleasure of meeting him in 2004 at the convention center in california. i can tell you the man is not racist, he was the nicest and smartest man there. guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 6:38 pm thank you for the truth! lisbeth says january 5, 2021 at 4:50 pm this is the only sensible statement here. ron massey says january 6, 2021 at 9:06 am forgive them o lord, for they have eyes but cannot see, ears but cannot hear, a nose but cannot smell, and a mouth that spews trash. anonymous says january 6, 2021 at 2:38 pm the rioting, gun carrying protesters are so blind to the fact that an egotistical maniac is running the country. and wants to continue to run it, even after he lost the election. he does not want to leave office because he knows that many states are after him and he could very well do lots of jail time. well deserved. he does nothing buy lie and bully. and today, he incited protesters to go to dc and riot. carrying guns, knives and anything else they can use to harm, hurt and destroy our constitution!!!! the senate and congress must act now and remove this evil excuse for a human being from office. he is unfit and mentally unstable and vice president pence should take command until joe biden is sworn in. anonymous says january 7, 2021 at 5:12 pm you are the perfect example of the devil himself. sherry says january 6, 2021 at 9:28 pm hey stooge…let me tell you something. i worked my way through school. i paid as i went like many of my classmates and still managed to graduate with a 3.9 average. i wasn’t a crybaby with the attitude that everyone else must support my self serving entitled pathetic self. complain about the high cost of education?? you can thank your brain washing and greedy professors for their exorbitant wages! if you consider “censorship,” telling half truths, and constant biased reporting as fair and honest, you truly are as brain washed as you seem to be. trump was the result of a population that was tired of the bullying and censoring of an opposing side. be honest! what you really desire is a group thinking, one size fits all, everyone march the same or you will be punished type of nation. you don’t get the obvious taking over of your freedoms type of country. think china, north korea. many of us can see it coming and those of you who have no experience or foresight to figure it out can credit “yourselves” for losing your country. you and your children will get the country you deserve. the sad thing is by the time your eyes are opened (or when it is the rights you care about,) it will be way too late. i won’t be around but remember there were those that tried to warn you but you couldn’t think past your own arrogance and what you want now will be the benefactors of what you reap. good luck!! guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 6:41 pm amen! i worked my way through school as well without so much as one penny of debt. you are absolutely right! laura says january 7, 2021 at 8:18 am to answer your question. yes, you must hate or at the very least extremely dislike your country if you want to radically change it. and yes socialism is a “radical” change and definitely not an improvement, read a history book! let me keep it simple for your simple mind. if you love your spouse/parents/child, would you think insisting that they need to radically change a loving gesture? no, you don’t radically change the ones you love, as you wouldn’t radically change the country you love. if you actually come up with some real “improvement” ideas, please past them along to your marxists freinds. fkamalaharristhecommie says january 7, 2021 at 10:30 am the government provides basic needs but it seems like most liberals these days view free food and ps5’s and 400 dollar nikes as basic needs. joe biden will die in office and commie harris will take over and plunge this country sadly. thats my prediction. patriotic american citizen against liberals says january 7, 2021 at 11:08 am you’re so ignorant and misinformed, next time you open your mouth, you fucking commie, get your fucking facts right first. if you don’t like this country then fucking leave. nobody fucking wants your dumbass here trying to change what the usa is about. patriotism, freedom, capitalism, and success. there are plenty of communist and socialist countries you take your sorry ass to. quit trying to misconstrue everyone’s words and intentions you goddamn us hating liberal. anonymous says january 7, 2021 at 2:45 pm you are the fool! obama, clinton’s and biden family had very little money before there presidencies and now have 100+ million dollar bank accounts post presidency. do t talk about making money off the presidency. to think there are not other countries or people trying to destroy this country from with in is completely naïve of you. it’s the new form of warfare because you would least expect it. talking about trumps actions! he has done everything to save the people with in this country by keeping our money here to repair our own country before others. putting up walls to protect our citizens from harm and corruption. by keeping illegals from running up our outrageous hospital costs that are paid by taxpayers. by entering proper trade deals that benefit the american people and not just those that send us goods. you should learn a little about politics for you make statements as to the knowledge you have of what trump actually did. and finally let’s talk about the fake news. when you can watch the news station tell out an out lies when you just listened to a talk given by trump or when you see him censored no matter what he may say on twitter or social media groups it is wrong. it is misinformation and miss guided. who are you to say that cnn is better than fox or that any new station is better than another. you should always go to the source and listen to what they said and then make your own decision. bottom line any news station that tells lies and doesn’t report the truth or has incredible bias should be held accountable financially as well as legally for miss information and miss guidance. you talk about separation of church and state but they are not separate. we should all be fearful of god. this country was founded on godly principles it’s on her money and it’s in every aspect of our life. church should not be able to pass judgment or certain laws and this is where we get separation of church and state. because you’re too blind to see that we can have the corruption under a biden in kamala for obama and biden presidency is completely idiotic. look at what they’ve done during the presidency which is absolutely nothing i look at what trump has done and it all benefits the people. promises made promises kept which is something you never see from a politician. praise donald trump! fear and love god! guest4579@google.com says january 7, 2021 at 4:09 pm the left loathes america and wants to take over. power is their goal and they will do any crime to get it. the left are nothing but criminal thugs. you do realize what the term nazi stands for: the word “nazi” is an abbreviation for the word “nationalsozialist.” the full name of the political party was the “nationalsozialistische deutsche arbeiterpartei”   the national socialist german worker’s party. db norfolk ne says january 9, 2021 at 11:34 am amen to that! may the fleas from a thousand camels backs infest their crotches!!!!! mister says january 9, 2021 at 11:51 am i got news for you smart ass, the next potus will be just as bad if not worse. (be careful what you wish for) any of them that are in office should have a 4 year run, no more. how hard is it to understand that any career politicians are corrupt?! the richest people in this “once great country” are calling the shots, not the puppets in office they got elected. cathy frasquillo says january 9, 2021 at 1:17 pm i think the democratic party is the most evilest around. they want the new world order and most people are too stupid to see what it all entales. trump has been the best president ever. you democrats are liars and pissed because you want to steal more money from people like your robbing everyone now and people are blind to this because you have ruined america by your lies and president trump should stay in the white house regardless. since the democrats cheated votes. and it was filmed. and these stupid democrats make up more lies just so the really rich underground government could run everything. well i hope you all are ready to face your maker. too bad it’s not for us to see cause i’d live to see it. but it’s for you to bear. anonymous says january 9, 2021 at 2:49 pm theres maybe no help for you but never give up hope ben quick says january 9, 2021 at 2:50 pm theres maybe no help for you but never give up hope julie reineke says december 30, 2020 at 5:03 pm you have the mentality that is being derided in the lyrics of this song. this isn’t even a recent song. it came out in the early nineties, but the mentality is embodied by trump supporters. bad religion, “american jesus” i don’t need to be a global citizen ‘cause i’m blessed by nationality i’m a member of a growing populace we enforce our popularity there are things that seem to pull us under and there are things that drag us down but there’s a power and a vital presence that’s lurking all around we’ve got the american jesus see him on the interstate we’ve got the american jesus he helped build the president’s estate i feel sorry for the earth’s population ‘cause so few live in the usa at least the foreigners can copy our morality they can visit but they cannot stay only precious few can garner the prosperity it makes us walk with renewed confidence we’ve got a place to go when we die and the architect resides right here we’ve got the american jesus bolstering national faith we’ve got the american jesus overwhelming millions every day he’s the farmers’ barren fields (in god) the force the army wields (we trust!) the expression on the faces of the starving millions (because he’s one of us) the power of the man (breakdown!) the fuel that drives the klan (cave in!) he’s the motive and the conscience of the murderer (he can redeem your sin) he’s the preacher on tv (strong heart!) the false sincerity (clear mind!) the form letter that’s written by

china?japan?england, canada……..cuba……i know kenya…….be patient i;ll help you think….oh i know a muslem country where you can wear a bag over your head and hide from the world……what say? kim polk says january 4, 2021 at 6:37 pm amen boom says january 4, 2021 at 8:09 pm nobody read your childish attempt at an insult. gfy and do it over and over. sherry says january 6, 2021 at 11:58 pm wrong!! i read it and it makes perfect to anyone with a brain! sherry says january 7, 2021 at 12:26 am wrong.!! i read it and it made perfect sense to me!! heather cheree land roessler says january 7, 2021 at 7:42 am and what idiot wrote that song? anonymous says january 4, 2021 at 5:56 pm mussolini delivered on all his promises to italy too. cs says january 6, 2021 at 4:12 am to your point, the difference i believe is that mussolini was about gaining power for himself not for italy. he pursued control over other countries via war, not in the name of helping italy become self reliant. president trump has not stood for war, he has been pulling troops home, he has not tried to wage war to gain power and control over other nations but instead has encouraged us to lift where we stand to make america great again. we want to follow trump because we love god, we love this country god gave us, and our families god has blessed us to be a part of which i believe is where real happiness comes, not because we want to rule the world and have overreaching power. my fear about biden and harris is that they are in it for themselves. we see by the way that hunter biden was positioned to play scapegoat/ money launderer for dad is just sad. it came at the cost of what is most important, his relationship with his wife, and getting caught up in terrible circles of influence. i get nervous to think someone would use their own son that way, how will they use us that they don’t know other than from a statistical standpoint? i have heard kamala publicly state that non violent crimes should be given maximum sentencing because it’s “cheap labor”? what? i’ve also heard her proclaim that parents will be arrested if their kids don’t attend school? what?!she later said it was just a scare tactic. well that’s a relief, i thought i was going to be punished for my adolescent teens choices ha ha shrug cringe and laugh it off? it’s about power and control and not about lifting up and helping people other than themselves. it’s just so weird to me how far off everyone has gotten? could mediocre parenting and relying on tv news and not focusing on gods role in american history at school really be what gets people to think that oppression and “hand outs” from a government entity is the sought after lifestyle? it’s soooo weird, you entitled, ignorant, individual you, i honestly don’t know how to help, other than stand up and share my own personal opinion on matters of erroneous comparisons. god speed until the savior comes again and every knee shall bow and tongue confess (because we want and choose to). kim polk says january 4, 2021 at 6:35 pm ignorance is bliss!! and you are full of it!! dr. jeffrey hampl says january 4, 2021 at 9:22 pm the religious white tend to be binary, manichean thinkers (fascists are too, by the way). everything is x vs. y, good vs. evil. gop good vs. demonrats evil christian vs. muslim saved vs. unsaved straight vs. gay citizen vs. immigrant love trump vs. hate trump with us vs. against us liberals think differently. we recognize nuance, which means we tend not to interpret what people do and say in the least charitable way impossible. recognizing nuance also means we are less likely to pigeonhole people. liberals recognize the value and equality of all people. we have a big tent. the right mocks statements like, “diversity is our strength,” which seems to me pure projecting, because the monolith of a political party that is predominantly white and christian and older is actually very fragile, for all its bluster, especially given how white and christian and older are dwindling demographics. white and christian and older also means conservatives are prone to authoritarianism, which is how we ended up with trump. you didn’t want someone “presidential.” you wanted a bully who would own the libs   damn the constitution, ethics regulations, federal laws, norms and traditions, the nation’s reputation, and american exceptionalism, which was never about “winning.” the party of reagan has destroyed reagan’s metaphor of a shining city upon a hill. he reminded americans that we were a beacon to people in others’ nations so they know that equality exists, people truly can self govern, and individuals are free to pursue their own destiny. now, though, these principles offend the religious white of conservatism. pretending equality exists is not the same as the existence of equality and you have to twist yourselves into pretzels just to convince yourselves (eg,” all men are created equal” was just a promise for what the nation would one day be. see also the right’s outrage after the supreme court ruled federal law prohibits employers from discriminating against gays). the right’s talk about limited government is a joke given the zeal to not permit women to control their own destiny via abortion. forcing girls and women to carry a pregnancy they did not consent to is immoral. in international law, it’s torture, rightfully so. conservatives aren’t exactly known for having empathy. but what specifically obliterated american exceptionalism is trump and his sycophants’ attack on our elections. trump started priming his fans early on to believe the election would be rigged, long before a single ballot was cast. he lied. ad nauseam. so did bill barr, who warned against china mass producing ballots that they would send (somehow duplicating the exact font, weight and color of the paper and envelopes, titles of referenda and bond questions, and names of candidates) to slip into individual precinct’s ballot counting (somehow without the registrar noticing there were twice as many ballots per voter registered). after trump twice told his rally attenders to vote twice, bill barr didn’t correct him, pretending as if trump meant people could vote and then change their vote. when asked what state allowed such a practice, barr said he didn’t know individual state laws. now, two months after the election, trump still has not acknowledged he did not win the election. two days ago, he, with his immoral lackey mark meadows and attorneys, called georgia’s secretary of state to beg and threaten him to conveniently “find” one more vote than needed to overcome biden’s win for the state. this is not the united states of america. worse, gop members of congress insist   all evidence to the contrary   that trump won. and here’s the kicker: they claim democrats are so sinister we discovered a way to cheat so successfully no one could figure out how. this is desperation and mob rule thinking, the exact opposite of americanism’s values. so certain is the gop that they are right (a very authoritarian mindset, naturally), they intend to protest the electors elected by the sovereign people of six states, including mine. how low we have sunk that republicans are so entwined in their mythology of who is a patriot and who isn’t, who respects the constitution and who doesn’t, who is righteous and who isn’t that they plan to strip my right to vote and self govern based on nothing but gut instinct that “if god is with us, nothing is against us.” anonymous says january 7, 2021 at 12:05 am there are more contradicting and hypocritical statements in this diatribe than the average liberal can even count. go back to school…wait..that’s right, you are a product of the dumbing down, give everyone an “a” education of the current lefty trend. god help us all..but you mostly. jenuwin says january 11, 2021 at 10:11 pm come out from under the rock of anonymity smart guy and give us facts to support your many opinions. sherry says january 7, 2021 at 12:24 am this comment is full of more contradictions and hypocrisy than the average liberal can even count. go back to school..oh wait..you are the perfect product of today’s education system. give them all “a”s and pass them on. dr??? typical fake, deceiving, idiotic crap meant to impress..but not, that a liberal will use, but that only another libby will be fooled by. sherry says january 7, 2021 at 12:39 am this comment is full of more contradictions and hypocrisy than most liberals can even count. go back to school…wait…that would obviously be the one where “let’s give everyone an “a” and pass them on, is the mantra. dr??? sorry, doesn’t fly. quit trying to impress because only the simple libby’s will believe you anyway! guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 4:42 pm “diversity” is divisive and not strength. america has always been called “the great melting pot” and you libs would know that if you bothered to read history and learn. socialism does not work; the very persons trying to break down our borders and come into america are fleeing failing socialist countries. the inflation rate of venezuela is at 1,000,000% the people are breaking into the zoos, brutally stealing/killing all the animals with stones to take them and eat. the grocery shelves are bare. doctors and nurses earn $3/week. if one is needs surgery and is fortunate enough to have money, they must even pay for the cab ride as well as the surgery for the doctors and nurses. the citizens refuse to use their own money because it is worthless. you are probably too young to remember the berlin wall where citizens were risking being shot with machine guns in order to flee the kind of socialism you espouse. ted schultz says december 27, 2020 at 6:34 am the democrats were the party that favored slavery. biden claims kkk clan leader sen. byrd as a mentor! that is one thing he has not lied about. pelosi’s attempt to get millions of dollars in the stimulus package to “planned parenthood” is a sham. it is not about contraception. everyone knows planned parenthood’s number one activity is killing babies, especially black ones. she is a spokesperson for eugenics and calls herself a catholic she is an idiot  a very evil, hypocritical person (if we could even elevate her to that status). .we could save billions by getting rid of nancy.. the rest of the over 5,000 page bill is full of pork. trump wants money spent on us citizens who need the it now.. biden “slams” president trump because the president doesn’t wish to send billions of our dollars to foreign programs. thankfully he wants the us dollar to go to americans. we have massive foreign aid already. too bad the lying news doesn’t report about all the pork in the bill instead of trying to make our president look like the bad guy. of course they have done this for at least 5 years now very typical. . dr says december 31, 2020 at 5:53 pm right on ted steve lavalle says january 2, 2021 at 12:00 am trump may not have been your outstandingboyscout and may not have been real clear on some issues he should of been , but every president has there l little peves and hangup.i watched d trump from his beginning and that man has what it takes to make our country great and was well on his way of doing just that. but in order for him to do that he needed the people behind him along with his constitutes and all he got was stabbed in his back. by media the press and haters, he knows about politics as good as the next politician but the man ,was only half way done .a pres.needs both terms these days when every is so broken. and now we get to watch it break the rest of the way .man what are we going to do now. i see bad things coming our way. don im sorry this shit had to happen,one day people will see what could have been and realize only then ,you truly where on the right path. dont let them get to ya,cause you have a warrior’s heart man!!!!! guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 4:53 pm you are correct! only a person as strong as president trump could have fought against the commiecrats, the rinos in his own party, and a corrupt media. that’s why liberty loving americans love him and cheer him on. evidence grows: ’20 election was rigged https://www.deepcapture.com/2020/11/election 2020 was rigged the evidence/

for the little people!! dr. jeffrey hampl says january 4, 2021 at 9:44 pm you know, there really is more to political speech than just regurgitating the same ol’ talking points you hear other people regurgitate   talking points that were false or misleading to begin with. yes, democrats supported slavery: 160 years ago. how is it possible for republicans to feel you “own the libs” by repeating such trivia ad nauseam? the gop isn’t even the same party is was a decade ago, but you feel “safe” pigeonholing the left as pro slavery? not only is the argument stupid, it also glosses over the fact that the gop is mostly the religious white. by “religious,” i mean political evangelism, which maintains a caste order with god preferring some more than others   the opposite of equality, of course, although you and yours disagree because doing so preserves your caste system, which offhandedly relegates gays, muslims, american jews, immigrants, the disabled, blacks, and so on as untouchables. by the way, the covid19 aid was packaged within the defense department appropriations bill so all of your numbers are wrong, although i’m perfectly fine with cutting off the tap to israel, which taxpayers fund obscenely every year, far more than any other nation. we would save billions right there so i’m glad we found on point of agreement! laura says january 7, 2021 at 9:34 am uneducated dr. hampl, if the socialist democrats aren’t still the party of slavery, why then are nearly all the democrat run cities so oppressive to the colored communities. check some actual statistics before espousing your marxist learned ideas. in all democrat run large cities, the rich get richer on the backs of the oppressed. typical democrat tactic, “give us the money and we’ll fix everything.” history shows the only thing that gets fixed is more money in the rich politicians pockets as living conditions get worse for the poor. big government is a passive form of slavery you fool. try opening your eyes to the truth instead of condescending to those you feel are beneath you. kevin says january 28, 2021 at 1:29 pm privatized prisons (aka slave corps) are an active form of slavery and supported by the right wing conservative party. fool. what do you call making billions on the backs of workers who make a “minimum wage” that doesn’t currently support the economic climate. but we can’t raise minimum wage now can we? because “muh taxes and muh freedumbs” dan says december 19, 2020 at 6:31 pm how is it that the left apparently wields so much power? i mean, last i checked, trump was still president, the senate majority’s still republican, and the house was too, up until 2018! the left needs to come to grips with the reality that, like it or not, it’s in charge. it has to be because the current regime is not. nero’s been busy playing golf, while rome is burning… it’s just too bad that since 2000, the left has to keep cleaning up the disastrous back to back economic messes left to them (great recession 2008) (great depression 2020) by republicant administrations. dr says december 31, 2020 at 6:07 pm danny boy wanna talk about the collaps eof the undocumented low income loans given by the democrats that gave us the junk bonds that drove our economy into that colllapse in 2008….fanny may freddy mac run by demobats……….2020 recession??????every dempbat state and city closes free marlket business,s but keeps open government run business;s. all usa citizens get thrown out of work,,,,,but all government workers still take up space and get a pay check each and every week how come?….the demobats and the chi com devised the bio attack on the usa to destroy this economy and president trump….too bad trump was the only one who saw it and tried to do something but was blind sided by the news media, the congress, the leftbat cities, and the scum paid dirt ball thugs who fire bombed our cities and tore down our statues…….one man alone can not hope to combat onslaught…..especially when they stole from him from what the people wanted and voted for……..biden is now your senile loser president who wont make it through his first term and then you will get what you deserve….a real scum bag in drag tracie says january 2, 2021 at 1:59 am 2013 interview, california rep. maxine waters revealed that obama possessed a “kind of database that no one has ever seen before,” with “information about everything, on every individual.”it’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.” october 21,2019 in fact, barack is headlining the big democrat strategy meeting at the home of alex soros tonight. this meeting was supposed to be on the down low with “politico playbook” getting tipped to the private invitation which went out to all the heavy weight democrats including their biggest donors: former president barack obama will headline a fundraiser for the national democratic redistricting committee (ndrc) at alex soros’s new york city home on monday evening. president donald trump is fighting an uphill battle, trying to get the big mess barack obama left him under control. the most dangerous and biggest concern is the traitors, leaking top secret information that puts our country in harm’s way.obama holdovers left in certain positions, still working in the government. these people are some of the traitors who are leaking top secret information, but now, we know more.barack obama under executive order 12333. he amended the rules section of that 1981 order, expanding who could access highly top secret information from just one agency, the national security administration (nsa), to over 16 other intelligence agencies, and by doing so, he created the means for a soft coup to take out trump. if any republican did anything like these things because they hated the democrat coming in office, democrats would be in worse melt down than has ever happened. democrats “trump hate” has brought out evil, they can’t even recognize themselves anymore. the historical peace treaties trump has made come about are miraculous & your still walking in liberal bs hate. karma will be coming for you people. you can’t hide behind pretending to be ignorant. god knows, he sees what your doing out of hate… if you won’t look at the facts presented that show you trump is good, not perfect , then you think you can still hide behind what the liberals lie about saying trump is corrupted. believe their bs gives you clear conscious of your guilt pushing lies about him as its not your fault if they are really telling lies about trump, your sadly mistaken. you will be held accountable by your maker. if god planned on trump winning potus 2020, if you even turned away to not look at election hacking, knowing it was going on or knew it would happen some how, makes you guilty as hell, you will feel gods wrath… anonymous says january 6, 2021 at 7:46 am christians deserve death for forcing their religion into nonbelievers guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 5:46 pm whether you like it or not this country has a christian judeo background. if you don’t like it here, go live in a socialist country. those coming here are very fortunate that we allow freedom of other religions to worship; it is not guaranteed in other countries. it is not christians who force their religion onto others but the other religions who are intolerant. a prime example are the muslims who flood into other countries and try to change the laws and religion of the other country. adapted from dr. peter hammond’s book, “slavery, terrorism and islam: the historical roots and contemporary threat” islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. in its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. the religious component is a beard for all of the other components. islamization begins when there are sufficient muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges. when politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well. here’s how it works: as long as the muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. this is the case in: united states   muslim 0.6% australia   muslim 1.5% canada   muslim 1.9% china   muslim 1.8% italy   muslim 1.5% norway   muslim 1.8% at 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. this is happening in: denmark   muslim 2% germany   muslim 3.7% united kingdom   muslim 2.7% spain   muslim 4% thailand   muslim 4.6% from 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. for example, they will push for the introduction of halal food (clean by islamic standards), thereby securing food preparation jobs for muslims they will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves   along with threats for failure to comply. this is occurring in: france   muslim 8% philippines   5% sweden   muslim 5% switzerland   muslim 4.3% the netherlands   muslim 5.5% trinidad & tobago   muslim 5.8% at this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under sharia, the islamic law. the ultimate goal of islamists is to establish sharia law over the entire world. when muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. in paris they are already seeing car burnings. any non muslim action offends islam and results in uprisings and threats, such as in amsterdam, with opposition to mohammed cartoons and films about islam. such tensions are seen daily, particularly in muslim sections in: guyana   muslim 10% india   muslim 13.4% israel   muslim 16% kenya   muslim 10% russia   muslim 15% after reaching 20%, nations can expect hair trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of christian churches and jewish synagogues, such as in: ethiopia   muslim 32.8% at 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in: bosnia   muslim 40% chad   muslim 53.1% lebanon   muslim 59.7% from 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non believers of all other religions (including non conforming muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of sharia law as a weapon, and jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in: albania   muslim 70% malaysia   muslim 60.4% qatar   muslim 77.5% sudan   muslim 70% after 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some state run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% muslim, such as has been experienced and is on going in: bangladesh   muslim 83% egypt   muslim 90% gaza   muslim 98.7% indonesia   muslim 86.1% iran   muslim 98% iraq   muslim 97% jordan   muslim 92% morocco   muslim 98.7% pakistan   muslim 97% palestine   muslim 99% syria   muslim 90% tajikistan   muslim 90% turkey   muslim 99.8% united arab emirates   muslim 96% 100% will usher in the peace of ‘dar es salaam’   the islamic house of peace. here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a muslim, the madrasses are the only schools, and the koran is the only word, such as in: afghanistan   muslim 100% saudi arabia   muslim 100% somalia   muslim 100% yemen   muslim 100% unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their bloodlust by killing less radical muslims, for a variety of reasons. ‘before i was nine, i had learned the basic canon of arab life. it was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel.   leon uris, ‘the haj’ it is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% muslim populations, such as france, the minority muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% muslim, and within which they live by sharia law. the national police do not even enter these ghettos. there are no national courts, nor schools, nor non muslim religious facilities. in such situations, muslims do not integrate into the community at large. the children attend madrasses. they learn only the koran. to even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. therefore, in some areas of certain nations, muslim imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate. today’s 1.5 billion muslims make up 22% of the world’s population. but their birth rates are higher than the birth rates of christians, hindus, buddhists, jews, and all other believers. muslims will exceed 50% of the world’s population by the end of this century. well, boys and girls, today we are letting the fox guard the henhouse. the wolves will be herding the sheep! you should all know that obama appointed two devout muslims to homeland security posts. obama and janet napolitano appointed arif alikhan, a devout muslim, as assistant secretary for policy development. dhs secretary janet napolitano swore in kareem shora, a devout muslim who was born in damascus, syria, as adc national executive director as a member of the homeland security advisory council (hsac). note: has anyone ever heard a new government official being identified as a devout catholic, devout jew or a devout protestant…? just wondering. devout muslims being appointed to critical homeland security positions? feel safer? was it not “devout muslim men” that flew planes into u.s. buildings only 10 years ago? we must never forget this.. was it not a devout muslim man who killed 13 at fort hood ? (he killed “from within”  don’t forget that). can a good muslim be a good american? this question was forwarded to a friend who worked in saudi arabia for 20 years. the following is his reply: theologically   no . . . because his allegiance is to allah, the moon god of arabia religiously   no. because no other religion is accepted by his allah except islam (quran, 2:256)(koran) scripturally   no. because his allegiance is to the five pillars of islam and the quran. geographically   no. because his allegiance is to mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day. socially   no. because his allegiance to islam forbids him to make friends with christians or jews. politically   no. because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of israel and destruction of america, the great satan. domestically   no. because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him. (quran 4:34) intellectually   no. because he cannot accept the american constitution since it is based on biblical principles and he believes the bible to be corrupt. philosophically   no. because islam, muhammad, and the quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. democracy and islam cannot co exist. every muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic. spiritually   no. because when we declare ‘one nation under god,’ the christian’s god is loving and kind, while allah is never referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the quran’s 99 excellent names. therefore, after much study and deliberation. … perhaps we should be very suspicious of all muslims in this country.       they obviously cannot be both ‘good’ muslims and good americans. call it what you wish, it’s still the truth. you had better believe it. the more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future. the religious war is bigger than we know or understand. can a muslim be a good soldier??? army maj. nidal malik hasan, opened fire at ft. hood and killed 13. e is a good muslim!!! footnote: the muslims have said they will destroy us from within. freedom is not free. enterthefray says january 19, 2022 at 7:50 pm your are completely delusional if you think the usa will ever get much more than 10% muslim by the end of this century. #1. #2, halal foods are already becoming more widely available as that population that consumes those foods, grows. that includes all the non muslims who eat it. #3 there’s 150 million red blooded american non muslims who own the majority of the 400+ million guns in this country. that alone will be a reminder, or more if necessary; to remind american politicians ‘we don’t do’ separate laws for anyone. ghetto dweller or otherwise. and if the crime keeps increasing, you’re gonna see a backlash against ‘thugs’ in general that would make commander chaos blush. we don’t need to be goaded or frightened by the likes of zealots such as yourself to fear the muslim. the muslim knows how the non muslim american feels about the extremes of their religious beliefs. ps: you’re a typical ‘love it or leave it’ type. “if you don’t like the way we (read “i”) say this country is, or should be, leave. you first asshole. part of my ancestry goes back to cherokee nation. guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 7:26 pm what nonsense. this is the only country that guarantees freedom of religion. you don’t like it? go somewhere else! johnny slotz says january 2, 2021 at 8:46 am and having to save the country every decade largely prevents them from actually enacting liberal policies jay hepworth says january 3, 2021 at 12:46 am you need to fact check yourself, you probably didn’t know barney frank was at the heart of the fannie may/freddie mack bubble that burst our country into a recession because the bush administration went to the congress years before and said the program was falling apart and they needed to change it where they ignored the warning. that obama bungled by his obamacare bill and bailing out every democratic run city and state. tired of idiotic responses. emily says december 19, 2020 at 4:02 pm this ridiculous excuse of an editorial is filled with the lies and assumptions of the indoctrinated right. because they wear red, white, and blue every day and vote red everytime i must be a true american. why use facts and logical reasoning while attempting to have a discussion when i can just repeat naive tropes and end any couth by simply repeating “trump 2020” until the other, more intelligent, debater gives up and leaves. as a leftist, i am more patriotic than any conservative could claim to be. i’m not taking this way of government at face value when i see so much evil being done to the least of these. how many people everyday are murdered violently because capitalism couldn’t be bothered to help them? something to google when you get the chance. i am an american and i will not let a fascist party take the face of what they assume is patriotism and make me out to be some traitor. no, we are changing the country to take care of all of her people. i would that was the original intent of the american experiment. except they couldn’t be bothered to even take care of slaves or women. we are making the american experiment successful, but you are too focused on appearances instead of making actually progress in the lives of the poor and needy. be a proud american, eat the rich and 1312. david haynes says december 30, 2020 at 2:17 pm you might be right but being a patriot means that we should. follow the constitution but the left won’t right now if there was no voter fraud then why is the left not being transparent and not cooperating and investigate it. it was obvious there was fraud to many americans have came toward and too many machinations are saying by the numbers it was statistically impossible for biden to win. and far as that goes trump had kept all his promises to the american people like no other politician and still just because people dont like his personality they don’t want him as president it doesnt make since when the man works for free for the american people. hes doing everything in his power to help this country just because he doescare about other countries is not bad. i don’t care about this personality i didn’t vote for that i wanted a job done.he would’ve went down as the greatest presidentof alltime but the left can’t stand it they would rather have an old burnout who hasn’t done squat in 47 years just let the whole world take advantage of us i do not understand the left ben franklin would be mad to see that the us has no more common sense. only lazy people hate capitalism. and with capitalism we are communist. because capitalism and freedom walk hand in hand and without one there is no other and personally i’ll never give up my freedom to make sure my neighbor has something to eat and i don’t expect him to feed me either only if it’s done out of just because we wanted too. the world owes no man nothing. i hope this helps shed some light on the subject and remember he who is willing give some freedoms for security doesnt deserve either. and that comes from one one the greatest patriots of them all. cynthia says december 31, 2020 at 8:50 am amen, david, thank you for the ‘truth!’. m says december 31, 2020 at 10:00 am thank you! mary says december 31, 2020 at 3:14 pm you are just spouting the same old lies as faux news spouts. it has been proven over 50 times that it was an honest election and trump lost! get over it, use a little critical thinking and stop lying , 3 times adultery, lying about paying tramps, mocking a disabled man, taking insurance away from his grand nephew that has ms because he was mad at his father. cheated thousands of his workers and contractors out of money, took $220,ooo dollars out of the family charity for children, paid someone to make 2 huge portraits of himself, and to pay some of his dues.. he says filthy things about women ,”grab her by the   “, “my daughter is a a beautiful piece of a__””. calls football players “sons of bitches”, raves and rants to his moron crowd of fans, that are as dumb as he is. lies with every breath. brags .brags, brags about his wealth that daddy gave him and he has lost. won’t pay his taxes, the list is endless. if you want a thrill jump from faux news and go to news max, they are bigger liars than lou, shawn and tucker put together. i howl with laughter , i love a good laugh so i flip it on for a couple of minutes every so often. trump will be going to prison soon. what can you expect of a so called man who lied about bone spurs to keep his chicken ass out of the service, while he was dodging vd instead of bullets, like the men in vietnam where. snuggled up to some of the most evil, blood thirsty , cruel men who had their people tortured, beat, murdered, and starved, they where trump’s hero’s., but let’s not forget he’s a christian, bahahahahah and so are his so called christian fans,lol! cs says january 6, 2021 at 4:39 am mary, some words of wisdom. judge not, lest you be judged. or how about ….let he who is without sin cast the first stone…. whether you believe in it or not the only real way past all this mess is for us each to be better and do better each and every day. glad to see trump is trying to improve with the best of us that fall short and doing it by helping make sure things are honest and tested. sure glad every wrong choice or bad words i’ve used in my life aren’t put on display for the world to see, people might hold it over my head too? logos says january 13, 2021 at 6:29 pm and i guess your just love george soros? get over your own hate. your head is in it and your mouth is on fire but this evil donkey is upside down on your collective backs you across a bridge too far. you cannot afford your own future without us. stop hating!!! ross goodman says january 3, 2021 at 5:17 pm looking from the outside in it is maddening to see claims of voter fraud but no evidence,. i have scoured the media both left and right to find stories of actual proven fraud. it doesn’t exist, anywhere,. its all just “how do you explain this” theoretical fucking bullshit, and its all coming from guess who, the people that lost. show me the evidence please, come on, rampant fraud and no evidence. all the affidavits i have read to date look like something out of the national enquirer and could be espousing the proof of aliens running a new jersey pizza restaurant, they are that damned foolish. 74 million disappointed losers simply need to take their diapers off and smell the bullshit they have been swallowing, wipe their bums and put big people pants on. out here in reality land (the rest of the world) we see everything because we have no reason to only read or watch one side of the story, and sorry to say when you look at both sides the republicans and trump supporters come off looking really really dumb, especially after the election. tell the truth, shame the devil says january 7, 2021 at 6:45 pm amen!!! i can’t understand why people can think trump is a good person and a christian after the horrible things he has said and done, making fun of disabled people, saying filthy things about women and even his own daughter, robbing thousands of people who worked for him, bullying, lying (the worst liar ever), buddying up to blood thirsty people like kim, putin, saudia arabia etc. his list of evil is endless. but just like my great grandfather said”ignorance can be cured, stupid is for life”. looks like he was right!!! guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 7:28 pm evidence grows: ’20 election was rigged https://www.deepcapture.com/2020/11/election 2020 was rigged the evidence/ breaking news cia involved in election fraud 2020: obama brennan comey https://nataliekeshing.com/ciaef/ “evidence!” cia

keith says january 3, 2021 at 11:35 pm proof/evidence social media has spread so many rumors, lies and conspiracies. at least 60 lawsuits regarding the nov. election. no proof no hard evidence no court case. due to the ramifications of an attorney presenting false information and evidence non of these social media conspiracies and lies are presented in the courtroom this the cases have been dismissed. the ring master/ clown in dc continues to fan the flames of lies and conspiracies!!liberal media suesue2020 says january 7, 2021 at 7:45 pm “evidence!” cia scorecard and the hammer used to alter election counting machines for biden https://conservativedailypost.com/evidence cia scorecard and the hammer used to alter election counting machines for biden/ jennifer says january 5, 2021 at 11:50 am dude, voter fraud has been investigated over and over…. yall just keep losing the case because it never happened guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 7:31 pm well i was one that witnessed it and will say so anytime! armloads full were being bundled and added! anonymous says january 9, 2021 at 10:07 pm it hasn’t been proven because all of the courts rerfused to look at any of the evidence. they just stated “there wasn’t any election fraud” without even looking at any of the evidence. which is a sure sign of definite voter fraud. as another poster on this site said: : “either way, know this, an honest judge listens to all testimonies and then weighs the evidence” the court judges did not weigh any of the evidence. they didn’t even look at it. just stated there wasn’t any without looking at any of the evidence. without looking at any of the evidence, there is no way they can know if it was fraudulent or not unless they theirselves are part of the fraud. and if they weren’t part of the fraud, they would have looked at the evidence before coming to a conclusion on whether there was fraud in the election or not bruce runner says december 31, 2020 at 8:47 pm you know i read these ,and i feel the hate in the leftist, why? and you say change the world for the better ,tell that to the 2.3 million babies aborted. the left has kept their foot on black people’s heads ,and blame everyone else. you say reducing the population is a good idea ,tell that to the people you killing. covid wasn’t a accident, my question to all leftists why do you hate god. mary says december 31, 2020 at 9:13 pm whoever wrote this letter to the editor sure is a big a liar as trump and the republicans. this newspaper sure doesn’t believe in freedom of speech. i have posted 4 times telling just what i think of trump, which isn’t much, and the newspaper refuses to post them. i guess the truth hurts. mary says december 31, 2020 at 9:16 pm so you say my post is being moderated. stop your lying, you just refuse to post my posts because your afraid of the truth and you bully anyone who doesn’t agree with you, just like trump. anonymous says january 2, 2021 at 9:55 am you are one of the few people left in this world with a brain that hasn’t completely liquified! dr says january 4, 2021 at 5:23 pm yeah we leftbats put all our black brother slaves into inner city boxes gave ’em food clothing and a place to sleep…..then we kept them from getting a good education and working their way to the top…..is why with trump they finally see the light of day…..all demobat cities have the slaves killing each other…..this is tooo friggen funny to even respond to……biden will solve the problems….and harris of course with her great knowledge and experience ..hhahhhahahahah hahhahhhahhahahahahhahhhhhahhhaha hahhhaahh don says january 4, 2021 at 8:22 pm how is it that the government can take care of “all the people” when government is made up of “all the people” that can’t take care of themselves? thank you for so clearly illustrating what is wrong with the left. the left is like a snake eating itself. sure the tail will provide nutrition for a while but eventually it will begin to consume that which cannot be replaced by eating more. what you refer to as evil capitalism is exactly what has provided the means to help those that are less fortunate…duh? but go ahead and keep consuming your tail because i can’t wait to see the look on your face when you get a taste of your ass. guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 7:33 pm good post! as margaret thatcher wisely observed, “sooner or later you run out of other people’s money!” laura says january 7, 2021 at 9:51 am stating you are more american then people on the right doesnt make you a patriot. it makes you feel good to say it but words are not action. wanting to make our free country a socialist country does not make you a patriot. it makes you a fool. a fool, full of feelings and no substantial intellect. oh by the way is it conserative capitalism killing/murdering all those people in chicago every day? i think not honey! your “facts” are merely your opinion and opinions by definition are not facts. maybe you should get more leftist education. lol it’s served you so well so far. guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 5:54 pm “how many people everyday are murdered violently because capitalism couldn’t be bothered to help them?” what nonsense! it is you liberals who want to ‘defund the police!’ and it is biden the socialist idiot that paid to bail out the thugs and murderers and set them back out on the street to do more murders of innocent americans including toddlers! john q says december 19, 2020 at 12:42 pm this has be to be the biggest collection of dumb i’ve ever seen in once place on the internet. zuckerberg is shedding a proud tear this very moment. reddit users around the world will remember this article and worship the diarhea of idiocy. tamara bass says december 14, 2020 at 11:06 pm anybody that cannot see the outstanding job that donald trump has done for this country is out of touch with reality. smoke another joint! maybe the need to get excepted by other democratic idiots? always putting out opinions and false facts. oblivious of true harm that their ignorance is inflicting this great country. skip says december 15, 2020 at 4:47 pm you are correct.i hate that our direction is based on foolish groups who never paid. their dues in life💀 anonymous says december 26, 2020 at 4:23 pm what do you mean pay your dues m. davis says january 1, 2021 at 10:12 pm work, pay your bills, and be a volunteer in some way with your spare time to help america be a great country to live in. do your part… that’s for starters. shelia battles says december 27, 2020 at 5:08 am i do not vote, but this has an effect on me as a citizen and christian woman nor in the united states in ohio; i’m 65 and divorced mixed race, from white…i admire the trump family…there are none like theirs…there is a lack to me of respect and love and dignity for the quality in our white or caucasian races, when you get any…..he should be 4 more years, then his sons take it the rest of the years after…you know t r u m p …..what that means! he does want us to have the best he can do……..i’m a christian woman….stb in philadelphia, pa crissy says january 7, 2021 at 1:13 pm so you want trump to be your king? guest4579 says january 7, 2021 at 7:35 pm fdr, a liberal, had 16 years in the white house. i guess it’s ok for you commies only. lm says december 28, 2020 at 4:32 pm who hasn’t paid their taxes in the us? maybe those who deduct $70,000 for combovers from their taxes as a business write off? as charo said the bravest men are those who show their bald heads. ross goodman says january 3, 2021 at 5:20 pm like donald the draft dodger did? like trump the tax dodger does. like trump the sexual predator does. if this piece of shit ever pays his dues its going to cost him 20 years in the slammer. please! dennis lanew says january 9, 2021 at 10:37 pm trump pays all his salary back to government is that enough moron. robert fulmer says december 15, 2020 at 8:42 pm i agree. with the democrats, it’s all about getting votes. for the spaced out liberals, it’s all about being in touch with a perfect political ideology that provides everything to everybody at no cost to anybody. democrats: try doing what’s good for the people of the usa, not what keeps, or increases your power, at the expense of most americans. you’re ahole idiots that are blinded by the false criticisms of the unbelievable. great things that the best president, in modern times, has accomplished , jackson b. says december 16, 2020 at 9:37 pm how does allowing as many american’s to vote un american? how is advocating for americans’ health to be universally taken care of? how is, as you are doing, calling the majority of our country, who voted for biden, ahole idiots? what “false criticisms” are you refering too? william howell says december 25, 2020 at 10:54 am probably because the democrats have a long history of advocating for good things as cover to engage a larger evil act. under the guise of allowing as many americans to vote, they removes measure designed to prevent non americans from voting, dead people from voting and people voting illegally. under the guise of healthcare for all, they implement plans for killing babies at birth (satanic sacrifice), euthanasia, denying basic medical care to non essential people, mandatory injections, forced sterilizations. satan alway comes as angel of light, because would reject it outright if not marketed as noble causes. nothing good has ever come from the party of slavery, kkk, jim crow, homosexuality, and social of the ancestors of their former slaves. bruce runner says december 31, 2020 at 8:52 pm you speak a lot of truth dr. jeffrey hampl says january 4, 2021 at 10:09 pm sorry, but anyone who believes democrats are cannibalistic, satan worshipping pedophiles is not fit to “form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility…” if you can’t even cough up the integrity to honestly characterize your fellow citizens who happen to hold values different from yours you will perpetually grumble about being sidelined, ignored, marginalized, and forgotten. none of that is true: you choose self exile. why you and yours repeat democrats were pro slavery 160 years ago is beyond me. it only makes you look stupid. here’s more trivia: donald trump is a fan of andrew jackson, who owned slaves. i’m sure in your narrow thinking you find a way to not attribute jackson’s past to trump. blanket thinking is fascist thinking. it’s moronic to believe only one side in politics has a monopoly on virtue, intelligence, patriotism, and morality. “nothing good has ever come from” democrats is not true but the clause does establish your ignorance. the same is true for gays. what does “nothing good come from” gays even mean   besides how bigoted you are, i mean. with no gay people, the us and uk wouldn’t have deciphered nazi communications, which was the turning point of world war ii. there would be no “the importance of being earnest” and “the picture of dorian gray.” dr. martin luther king, jr., would not have had his right hand man to battle another domain of bigotry. no votes for women. no “childe harold’s pilgrimage” and “don juan.” honestly, your statement “nothing good from” gays is disgusting. you are a lazy, uninquisitive thinker, preferring to learn by osmosis that gays must be the parade of horribles the haters claim. the unexamined life is not worth living. but you choose to indulge your detestable thinking. laura says january 7, 2021 at 9:57 am amen!!! anonymous says march 9, 2022 at 10:22 pm ok homophobe john jarrell says december 27, 2020 at 6:47 am the author and replies that support this right wing propaganda didn’t have any problem eliding over the profound sins of the republican party and their callous disregard for the well being of anybody that’s not white and well heeled. i don’t think it’s a christian principle to allow children to go hungry in the land of plenty. i think they easily slip over the part of the constitution that says government for the people. they use government for the repression of people. and no utopia doesn’t exist but evil does and it lives in the hearts of men. there is enough ugliness in the world without republicans politicians adding to it. we can’t create perfection but by god we can do a lot better for everyone. if that impinges on someone’s personal pile of hoarded wealth too bad. god created the world and his resources for everyone. m. davis says january 1, 2021 at 10:30 pm the real facts are that the us government does in fact help people in need for food. but the vast majority of welfare for our lesser fortunate friends comes from the churches in this country. there are no guarantees in this life and capitalism has proven to be the only economic model that has helped millions out of abject poverty. many people here in the us feel that they deserve a free ride… there are no free rides in life. some people work hard and some don’t… some even hate to work and don’t work. part of the individual’s pride comes from what that person produces for society. it’s up to you! have a heart of selfless service to others and you will prosper greatly. no one else to carve out a prosperous life for you! in america anyone who wants to do that, will do that. carve out that prosperity and give to your church so they can help those who cannot help themselves who are truly in dire need. the blessing is in the giving. anonymous says december 29, 2020 at 6:50 am it’s allowing anybody and everybody to vote alive or dead citizens or not. and even cheating other ways, don’t lie and say no fraud here!!! universal health care doesn’t work either.. as far as the people that voted for biden most didn’t know the facts. because the media is still lying. but you are probably a stupid die hard democrat that likes socialism. go to china and live with lying joe’s buddies. cynthia says december 31, 2020 at 8:56 am absolutely! 100% correct, anonymous! perfect comment! anonymous says january 5, 2021 at 12:03 pm yes! right! and i’m sure you know alllll the facts, looking on an opinion based journal entry saying that there’s voter fraud here and there trying to get commenting people to stop lying, while instead you could be taking it up with the authorities….. who’s the stupid one now bud. douglas g. mcintyre says december 29, 2020 at 7:16 pm i believe in 2016 all this fraud gang was put in place…but they just we’re ready for the size of trump support, but that wasn’t the case this time….look at the facts and if you can’t see biden and the dnc have done…then your not being honest with yourself. what’s important is our elections many good americans died to get the chance to vote…blacks being young them!! brian says december 20, 2020 at 10:01 am why don’t you secede the country. the hate now is so immense it will never disappear. america is finished as it was. anonymous says january 7, 2021 at 10:04 am so you’re admitting the left is looking for sedition?? anonymous says december 21, 2020 at 12:57 am true that trump won the election by a landslide i know people that cheated i will not except biden as ptprrdifent i will do nothing ask nor will i pay one dollar for taxes the demon craps don’t care about no one donna marie kelley says december 27, 2020 at 11:55 am i f the democrats are so eger to support other countries then why in the hell don’t they move out of the usa, instead of destroying it. it is our money they are giving away so why don’t we have a say in where it goes. it should go back to us. no money should be going out of this country. and the fact that the democrats want to give illegals 1,800 dollars but we the people only 600 dollars. what is wrong with this puzzel? the democrats are nothing but a bunch of scumbag criminals who all belong in prison. nancy pelosi belongs swinging at the end of a rope. trump 2020 2010 and forever. anonymous says january 2, 2021 at 10:19 am you realise it was the right winged fascists who refused any funds to the american people and wanted to help with ties to other countries. trump and his bullshit coupe that him and his thugs are trying to stage here is the reason everything keeps getting worse. suesue2020 says january 7, 2021 at 7:48 pm wrong. pelosi mafiosi! her faher worked for the mafia; that’s how that foul democrat got her start. anne says january 3, 2021 at 6:49 pm i agree. biden has always been a piece of crap since i knew him back in the 70’s. a chameleon politician anonymous says december 16, 2020 at 1:57 am that was so stupid. be a working american. go to any suppermart. look in your cart, curse the fact you had to add another ramen and hot dog meal with three for the week you had to already. some woman in front of you, two or more carts say’s put it on my ebt card and give me two hundred back. hurry please cause i have to get my things home so i can see my doctor. get my subscriptions. which i will pay nothing for. khrushchev said in his time usa will fall without a shoot being fired. look around, listen., happening. jillian says december 16, 2020 at 5:54 pm i believe i was able to comprehend your babbling. every single working american is damn proud of what they can buy. why? because they bought it themselves. i’ve been the ebt holder, i’ve been the ramen eater for months, and i’ve been more proud buying the ramen myself than ebt. there are those abusing ebt, but that’s what happens in a democratic ran society. everyone is on ebt. it’s what they want. my point is america is fucking awesome. you make your own life. if you dont work, it’s your own damn fault for where and how you live. dont blame others. blame yourself. regardless of your upbringing, everyone has the chance to work hard and succeed in life. fuck government handouts. that’s lazy and not american. republicans want you to succeed. that’s why they dont handout money like the left are so desperate to do. that’s why trump cut the enhanced earnings in half months ago. like a dad who shows tough love, republicans believe you get what you deserve and you have to learn how to do it yourself. if you are given just enough to live on, why work? i wish liberals understood the phrase, “be the change you want to see in the world” you cannot change a society until you first change yourself. emily says december 19, 2020 at 4:07 pm this is the most privileged comment i’ve ever read. absolutely ignorant and i bet you will continue in this ignorance because you assume everything that happened to you is what happens to everyone. i’ll never get over how the party that is supposed to have “christian” values has the most selfish and entitled people who vote that way. anonymous says december 31, 2020 at 10:14 am oh i see it went right over your head.. don’t get it huh… go meditate! sad your statement shows your lack of intelligence… suesue2020 says january 7, 2021 at 8:11 pm oh what a load of rot. it’s you commiecrats who want to open our borders to let the scumbags of the world in to steal from us! illegals get preferential treatment over and above our disabled and citizens thanks to you whiners. i’ve seen it firsthand for the last 30 years. the u.s. govt reimburses hospitals for every illegal they treat. illegals don’t get equal treatment but preferential treatment and they want american citizens to be their slaves and pay their bills. this definitely affects not only quality of care, meds received (or not), and length of stay, but also any follow up care such as going to a convalescent center until well enough and/or physical therapy (or not). i have a disabled friend and have witnessed outrageous discrimination over and over the last 30 years. nurses and doctors have sympathized with my friend, who lives in pain 24/7, but can do nothing. as one doctor said while patting his shoulder, “it’s because you’re the wrong color. that’s why you can’t get the care you need. i’m sorry.” able bodied illegals are sponging off the taxpayers and stealing from the disabled! it’s time for the u.s. govt to stop discriminating against the disabled and its citizens. and don’t talk about the ‘free clinics.’ they also get federal funds for each illegal treated. they will turn a caucasian away, even if disabled, because they know they won’t get federal funds or reimbursed by the govt. why should they become citizens and work when they already get it all for free?! illegals are given free medical, free housing, free food, a free cellphone and $700/month play money for doing nothing at all. they get even more when they breed so they spew kids forth with the rapidity of maggots breeding in manure. and we, the american taxpayers, are not given equal treatment but are forced to pay their bills on top of our own!! this is an invasion, courtesy of you commies, and americans are in financial slavery to pay for the invasion of our own country. even our disabled, who live in pain 24/7, are forced to pay. when will you commies whine and cry for them?!! donald becker says december 20, 2020 at 2:16 pm very true: don’t blame others. so practice what you preach. be your own person, take responsibility for yourself and each individual do the same. wake up and realize more than half the stuff on the internet is false. no matter what perspective it is written in and for any subject..weather it is politics, religion or anything else..stop labeling yourself and anyone else and just be the best person you can for yourself and others! simply that! john wayne’s words: “forward movement, shared by all mankind. to learn, to love, to live with peace of mind. learn the mysteries of space as well as those of earth. to love each man for what he is regardless of his birth. to live without the fear of reprisal” (an act of retaliation) “for belief. to ease the tensions of the world that cries out for relief.” he also said: “lifes tough! it’s even tougher if your stupid” karen says december 21, 2020 at 1:41 pm so what you’re saying is that an opinion is not valid until it meets your personal beliefs about people? i may be mistaken on what you were trying to say but it really does sound like that… anonymous says january 7, 2021 at 10:17 am news flash! not all opinions are valid or worthy of acceptance. sometimes wrong is wrong regardless of your “opinion” what he’s saying is an opinion is not valid if it’s based on wrong thinking not because he “says so” as you implied. marty rutherford says december 26, 2020 at 3:51 pm i get what your saying, but some, counting myself, has to rely on medicare. if you would have told me this would happen 10 years ago, i would have laughed at you. im a firm far right conservative, but i am thankful for the safety net. not congratulating the dems at all, just thankful it was there. i worked hard from age 16 to 45 and then..well. everyone cant help it, but the ones taking advantage of it, should be rounded up and sent to china, their hurting the rest of us that need it. what i see coming since it looks like slo joe is going in, is scary. anyone who could not see how trump helped this country is running blind. imo there was no way slo joe won without cheating. we are in real danger. the true patriotic american is in real trouble when/if this lunatic slo joe goes in. may god have mercy. anonymous says december 28, 2020 at 7:36 pm i love , admire and voted for president trump. he is honest and is the best we have had to protect our country away from communist china. now we will watch you and democrats take us down. pandora’s box has been opened by pelosi, biden etc. god protect us from them,etc and you. m. davis says january 1, 2021 at 10:40 pm amen on that! anonymous says january 5, 2021 at 12:18 pm it took president trump 827 days to top 10,000 false and misleading claims in the fact checker’s database, an average of 12 claims a day. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump claims database/?utm_term=.27babcd5e58c&itid=lk_inline_manual_2&itid=lk_inline_manual_2 s says december 29, 2020 at 11:06 am and i’ve been the one on both ends to i was also had goals of getting off the system and there is such hateful people that are so angry that were ignorant the first reason why i was on ebt which is no one’s business for me to repeat but then there is hatred out there too much hatred and anger instead of loving and understanding and supporting those that were trying to get off the system and go back to work because of hateful people it’s back to the same beginning steps again because there is so much hateful anger anger now m. davis says january 1, 2021 at 11:00 pm everyone sometimes gets in a rut financially in their lifetime. there are some things in life that happen to us that are out of our control. i am glad to hear that you are taking the initiative to break free and work. i wish that the welfare laws were modified so that people on it were not penalized for trying to work. unfortunately, they are not conducive to really helping people break free. and this is the way they get them to vote at the polls. who wants to bite the hand that feeds you??? no one! sad but true. i pray that god will restore your prosperity and that you continue to keep trying. i know with god’s grace you can do it! suesue2020 says january 7, 2021 at 8:14 pm why don’t you stop whining and end your anger long enough to reimburse those of us working 70 hour work weeks to pay for you! p. says december 29, 2020 at 11:09 am there is also some of us that have done that changed ourselves went back and had a goal of getting off the system but because of people that are hateful i was wondering harassed harassed for nothing because of their ignorance that they never knew in the first place because hatred fear and more panic only to stop three jobs not for no laziness no laziness at all but i know i’m a damn fighter and looked forward to getting off the system and same thing proud to go to work but because of hateful people that are angry and ignorance and spread these things goes to those that are ignorant that don’t know what they’re doing and they drive those that tried so hard and change themselves and came so far to go back to work only to come in contact with hateful people that constantly cause in fear for my life to go back home and be done with it nothing to do with laziness at all vincent says december 29, 2020 at 5:13 pm that’s why the gop likes to give itself handouts and help out their friends in big corporations while the crumbs get left to some americans if they are lucky. the democrats do the same garbage too, but right now it’s this echo chamber mentality of “it’s not us it’s them” that is hurting america as a whole, as well as brainwashing people to believe the exact opposite of the reality of the situation by trump. trump supporters are cultists; they are putting party over country (like how the ccp puts loyalty to the party above country, ironically). handouts are bad but the restaurant industry has been destroyed by the pandemic, and the ppp loans were absolutely useless when the trump organization literally took millions of dollars from it, as well as kayleigh mcenany parent’s roof repair business in florida, which got well over a million dollars. trump has convinced all these people that handouts are bad at the worst possible time; when people actually need it, while taking the cake for themselves. if he asked some of these cult members to drink kool aid they would, just like how people got hospitalized for trying to drink disinfectant to scare the ‘rona away; that’s not how it works but what works like wearing masks or at least respecting personal space does not matter to these people. this is not the gop i remember from years before. trump did a good job of destroying the party, tearing the country apart and letting days of 9/11 levels of deaths happen for weeks. very “american.” m. davis says january 2, 2021 at 12:19 am actually, mr. trump is correct when he said that handouts are bad at the worst possible time. it all comes down to basic economic principles and that is why he said that. by giving out stimulus relief checks we are going deeper and deeper into debt. in my opinion, there should not be any stimulus checks and that would be fair to all of us and to our children and grand children. i believe that mr. trump wanted to help people now but he has just added to the debt burden. that debt has to be either be repaid or written off where we start over as a new country. our country has spent and spent and spent non stop. it’s why we are in the predicament we’re in now. and it is a serious one. we just had a recession back in 2008 and now we are really headed for trouble because out countries debt is way too high. the us mint is printing dollars as fast as their printing presses can print them. this dilutes our earned money and savings purchasing power. and yet the government says we have very low inflation… that’s just not true. just go to the supermarket and notice prices are going up and up. is it greed? yes, partly but also the cost of getting the product there is getting more expensive. so inflation has to be dealt with but no one in congress wants to do that because they will lose their jobs for doing the right thing. eventually the fed will be forced to let the real inflation rise once the us government starts to default on it’s borrowed funds from other counties and itself (us citizens) who hold us bonds. the worst was back in the carter administration where our president mr. carter and the chairman of the fed chairman mr. paul volcker did the right thing and the inflation rate increased to almost 22%. this present real inflation will be higher than that and may reach 30%! that’s 30 cents less per dollar in purchasing power of what we can buy. this will be devastating to our county for everyone. we have to stop printing money like water from a faucet. our government is made up of men and many are corrupt. mr. trump vowed to clean the swamp… and that is a major threat to the establishment. no wonder they hate him… their jobs are at stake for being held accountable for their crimes against the people! this is one man that couldn’t be, “”bought.” further, at least he tried to straighten out the economy and was successful up until the covid 19 virus happened. no one could foresee that virus coming. no one knew how to deal with it even the cdc best doctors! and remember mr. trump isn’t a doctor of medicine so he had to rely on federal government career professionals whatever that means. we do need to bring back jobs that have left this country so all people here can find meaningful work and make a decent living. think about our children and what they will have to facein the future. both parties have been torn apart for many decades and unfortunately, very little was done for the average joe american during the past forty years because of them at the steering wheel of this country. both parties are at fault. this is not a, “new” problem. many americans were just fed up with it… of getting nothing done. having said that, i will say that mr. trump has done just about everything he promised to do unlike most presidents who promise the world and didn’t deliver. he gets no credit even though most americans are doing better that they have in the last forty years. now we are set up economically with skyrocketing debt and absurd debt servicing (interest) and joe biden will not be able to fix this problem with inflation. it is a sad day for america. very sad. billy says december 16, 2020 at 2:48 pm you’re a complete moron. mark says december 22, 2020 at 1:32 am bill your attitude and verbage is the whole problem , rude and non productive, you and nancy! no manners to opinion ! ramona says january 7, 2021 at 8:20 am amen anonymous says december 23, 2020 at 10:46 am no your a moron. brian keigwin says december 19, 2020 at 5:39 pm i’ll smoke another! love what trump accomplished as pres and was astonished that the american people did not overwhelmingly re elect him. maybe more americans need to smoke some sativa… therese says december 20, 2020 at 1:49 am biden cant fill a parking lot with supporters..and donald trump filled huge stadiums with 10’s of thousands of supporters, and were supposed to believe that “dementia joe” got the most votes in all of american voting history? come on man..thats a bunch of crap.. biden is now plagiarizing all the things president trump spoke of doing for the american people..and things that donald trump already did for the american people..as his ideas now…geesshhh kamala harris has been groomed by mr open the borders wide soros.. i heard russia to out a hit notice on mr soros…lets hope its successful..that one person has caused more trouble around the earth…hes not allowed in many countries today because hes a total psychopath. the dumbing down of america worked quite well..but only on one half of the population… there needs to be voting classes…most people put absolutely no effort into voting..they vote what the tv says..and we all know now that the fake news is just garbage coming out of some liars mouth. if you cant get your ass out of bed and walk down and vote…just stay in bed..we dont need your vote..because your kind always votes for the enemies of freedom… inmature small thinkers always scheme how to get another persons money…never thinking past the end of their nose that “you always eventually run out of other peoples money.” these idiots have never studied socialism..and have no clue its always a failure.. these idiots have never studied history..and have no clue that when the bolsheviks are finished using them..they will be shot by these same bolsheviks the leopard never changes its spots the scorpion never changes its nature and so is kamala joker smile harris… ricky sandefur says january 2, 2021 at 11:48 am obviously you are an idiot trump supporter, i am a democrat and am not a socialist and you need to using that label we are patriots who think trump needs to go away. ramona says january 7, 2021 at 8:25 am holler back in 6 months… youll be wishing trump never left karl says december 20, 2020 at 9:11 am never smoked anything, but think it should be legal, just like alcohol. yours and mine are just more opinions. trump did an ok job, i would have been ok with either winning. i could see being in favor of some of trump’s policies, but is he an appaling human, and if you think he is a good guy your parents/church have failed or are appaling also. all dems are idiots, is that another fact? ramona says january 7, 2021 at 8:49 am holler back in 6 months… youll be wishing trump never left dante says december 21, 2020 at 1:35 pm can you define “false facts” for me please? last time i checked, facts are literally the farthest thing you can get from false. i get it that you’re butthurt about democrats and that’s fine, but come on! you are an adult are you not? mark says december 22, 2020 at 1:20 am tamara!! well said ,!! i feel exactly the same way,!! god bless america wayne ballard says december 22, 2020 at 12:03 pm an outstanding job trump has done??? want some facts, then tell me how you can support:: a man who cheated on his wife with a porn star, play mate, housekeeper and who know how many more, less that six months after his wife had his son. a man who paid them off to keep quite during the election. a man who makes fun of people with handicaps and call people names but get mad if someone call him one. a man who, after russians meeting with his people in trump tower, later said to russia, russia if you are listening. a man who praised the russian dictator and alienated our allies and after meeting putin confiscated the notes so no one would know what was said. a man who, in the white house, gave russians confidential information, resulting in a russian operative being remove because trump might have outed him. a man who has fired people investigating the “russia thing” a man who told people to ignore subpoenas and himself refused to testify under oath even though he claims to be innocent. a man who locked infants and children in cages, separating them from their parents with no plans on how to reunite them and at the last count still have 666 children whose parents have not been found.. a man who has tried his best to destroy the environment, like letting mining companies dump hazardous waste into lakes and streams. a man who ignored the findings of all our intelligence agencies and believed a foreign dictator over them. a man who has lies every day of this presidency, over 80,000 since taking office. a man who criticized obama for playing golf, yet has spent almost 1/4 of his time in office playing golf and has spent more in less than 4 years than obama did in 8, (trump cost already more than $130 million) a man who fired the national pandemic response team and told the united states’ embed at the chinese center for disease control and prevention (cdc) that the position would be defunded, causing her to leave her post in july 2019. the embed helped train chinese public health experts and served in part as a liaison between chinese officials and their counterparts in the us. a man who call the coronavirus a democratic hoax, said it was under control, said one day we will wake up and it will be gone and now we have over 320,000 and counting deaths in the united states. a man who gave tax breaks to corporations that allowed over 90 fortune 500 companies to pay no taxes and has raised the deficit by almost $4 trillion before the pandemic. a man who refuses to call out putin, his hero, on the bounties placed on u.s. troops and the latest computer attack on government servers says it could be someone elst. a man who lost the presidential race you over 7,000,000 popular votes and lost the electoral college by the same amount he won in 2016, has filed over 60 lawsuits and is said to be thinking about declaring martial law. if you think trump has done a good job your thinking is askew. tell the truth, shame the devil says december 31, 2020 at 3:50 pm 100% true. but the dunning kruger thinking fans can’t understand evil when they see it, and trump is almost the most unpopular president ever.. smart people wised up and realized trump is a joke, a liar, a hater and many other evil things. he lost because people realized he was evil to the core. m. davis says january 2, 2021 at 12:46 am hi wayne, well you didn’t mention anything about the over 10,000 votes marked with a “t” that were found in a trash dumpster. you didn’t bother to mention the hundreds of thousands of mail in votes from the dead (hmmm some died back in the 1800’s) who crawled out of the grave to vote for mr. biden, the late filled out votes that were counted, from dog’s cat’s and criminally forged votes by democrat counters, the barring of republican observers when hundreds of thousands of votes for mr. biden were entered without any oversight… the huge trash cans filled with mr. bidens votes that were removed from under tables in the middle of the night to be counted. why did you leave these minor things out? of course this election is completely valid , isn’t it sir? and what news do you listen to? i haven’t heard half the things you have said. we as a country deserve to fold up and we will. watch what occurs with the us economy in the next year. thank you sir you’ve done well! anonymous says december 23, 2020 at 3:03 am you have all been drinking the kool aid. anonymous says december 23, 2020 at 1:01 pm you’re delusional… move to russia bryan willis says december 24, 2020 at 12:23 am if you’re going to call a group of people idiots at least get you’re basic grammar down in the sentence you’re calling them out on. it’s accepted not excepted… excepted is is literally the opposite of what you’re trying to say. they call us uneducated for a reason. please don’t help their cause. ryan says january 3, 2021 at 5:35 am i think you mean, “at least get _your_ basic grammar down”, don’t you? anonymous says december 24, 2020 at 10:10 am for the past 50 years i have not seen a president who served truly and out of love for the united stats of america and its citizen as president trump. mike says december 24, 2020 at 11:45 pm donald trump is making things that have no iusses. he has no proof .of fraud on the elections he is just starting more he is the one at fault that’s why the united states is broke he has to barrow money from other countries and that is not right he is the one that put the americans in depth and they say he has been talking the campaign money in putting in his pocket. but i cannot provide it but there is something going on. he is really hurting the americans plus workers and other. people they keep talking about the simulars checks and no body can agree on it so either pass it or if they don’t there are people are going to lose there apartments with no help plus the people that are unemployed and also. people that are disability benefits and veterans. also other people anonymous says december 24, 2020 at 11:57 pm he. really did not due what. he was to due to help the americans get jobs he has really. put the united states in depth.. that’s why he really. did not do his job very will but maybe he did. if he would dun his job. right in the white house the united states would not be in this mess. maybe he thought he did but that is. his opinion he thinks that there were. fraud. voter’s but there was none he had no proof m. davis says january 2, 2021 at 12:51 am there is solid proof that the election was full of fraud if you just looked, you will see online the proof of it. lenny miller says december 26, 2020 at 7:35 am thank god for the good people that are responding to the op ed written by gerald boyum. the left along with the media and the democratic part have hijacked the election and are attacking our basic rights to an open opinion. it is obvious the election was stolen. we are running out of time. how can we help???? jason says december 28, 2020 at 2:14 pm i think the massess might catch on but the lies run deep alot of upper end people are in bed w china money sways all that is not sacred even google tries showing bias story’s it makes me sick the ads the story’s the main news bias and untrue tell the truth, shame the devil says december 31, 2020 at 3:36 pm please do tell just what has trump accomplished in the last 4 years, lied about mexico paying for the wall, which they called him a bald faced liar, the president never told trump any such thing, how about when he stomped out of the meeting when the people refused to let russia back in, maybe he almost broke his neck pushing and shoving to get to the very front of the other leaders to make sure he had his big ugly snake eyes and chicken butt mouth in the photo, maybe your heart swelled in pride when he went to wheeling, wv and spoke of his love for kim and their love letters to each other. maybe it was the trill of your life when he says such filthy things about women ,disabled people and honest, truthful, loving people. there are so many things that a demented person can admire about our hail trump ,dictator ,wannabe hitler. anonymous says january 3, 2021 at 10:08 pm amen anonymous says january 4, 2021 at 10:45 am trump is our knight with sword who will free this country from niggers. mike d says february 5, 2021 at 3:25 am accepted not excepted.. typical trump supporter smh.. what’s it like being so lazy and gullible? trump is serial rapist, a conniving pos, a narcissistic lunatic, a skid mark in lady liberty’s panties and a 1 term president who hates black people, mexicans, muslims, asians, women, poor people, ect. the list goes on n on because why? because he hates america. donald trump hates you too. he only cares about himself and his wealth. the orange skid mark wont even give his own son a hug. he used his supporters to like tools. then ignored their cries for help. do some real research into who donald trump really is but dont be lazy and stop there, dig deeper. look into the trump foundation’s business dealings and where trump has and has had properties. actually look into the allegations of sexual assault that are against him. dont be lazy. the worst and biggest fake news producer/pusher is trump and the greedy republicans n the fake republican supporters that enable his bullsheet. yall have destroyed this country’s image, reputation, and honor.. enjoy being on the no fly list… dan says december 13, 2020 at 4:36 am but there are steps he could have taken to greatly minimize the number of those deaths, and he didn’t take them. the virus isn’t his fault, but isn’t there some responsibility for every decision made since community spread began here? robert fulmer says december 15, 2020 at 8:49 pm be specific. name them. doubt that you can. assume you a perfect, and have a crystal ball that allows you to foresee the answer to all unknowns. darrin says december 15, 2020 at 8:56 pm he did all he could while fighting a bunch of dumbass america destroying idiots. open your eyes america. ann says december 16, 2020 at 12:10 am no country handled it well the united states done pretty good considering. while the democrats were busy trying to impeach him they should’ve been busy preparing for a pandemic that they knew was coming. in spite of everything trump has done a phenomenal we are ahead of everyone else with the vaccine i don’t know what you think he should have done because he done everything humanly possible to minimize the impact while the hysterical democrats and biased lame stream media were dancing on his head joe says december 21, 2020 at 1:52 pm obama was preparing for a pandemic (as seen here: youtube.com/watch?v=pbvanahxhbm) and trump did what he always does   undo what obama did just because obama did it, and didn’t even try to put a better system in place. instead all he talked about were his ratings and spewed misinformation. thank god he’ll be gone come january. sunny hiroshi says december 29, 2020 at 7:58 pm when p. trump said, of the pandemic, “it will just disappear”, he showed his ignorance. it was after the cdc and scientists began developing the vaccine that he made a couple positive statements. having mask free conventions was stupid also. he sent a lot of our young people the wrong messages. for example, the debates. constantly interrupting, yelling, using profanity to try to get his point across, etc. i’ll bet his mommy never told him “no” or slapped his fat fingers. he looks like a cabbage patch kid! i detest the monster!! anonymous says january 7, 2021 at 8:48 am calling people names is not teaching young people well either. anonymous says december 16, 2020 at 6:27 am president trump closed boarders president trump followered fishing who said at first masks were not necessary president trump created warp spee to get vaccine. president trump wanted to pass the relief bill to help people with businesses. president trump brought in masks gowns ship created hospitals for sick franklin graham created a hospital in new york. cuomo what did cuomo do he sent from nfected covid virus patient into elderly care places. donald trump has gone though he’ll but now you have joe biden. look up all the things donald trump has done. it’s there for you to read. be informed anonymous says december 17, 2020 at 10:09 am i agree with you 100 percent. it saddens me to think of biden as our leader, heaven help us, i hope trump never gives up on revealing the truth on our corrupt election! anonymous says december 19, 2020 at 4:08 pm aww i think you’ll be okay. 🍼👶 anonymous says december 21, 2020 at 7:44 am you damn right lenny miller says december 26, 2020 at 7:40 am absolutely. pray for trump and our country. the evil forces are working so hard against us. ricky sandefur says january 2, 2021 at 11:54 am obviously you are an idiot trump supporter, i am a democrat and am not a socialist and you need to using that label we are patriots who think trump needs to go away. ricky sandefur says december 30, 2020 at 12:57 pm it saddens me you support a racist ass hole. the man is moron want to be dictator. mike says december 20, 2020 at 10:06 am brainwashed fool. barry says december 16, 2020 at 11:25 am the president is not a doctor. be assured he seeked the most expert advice on how to handle this pandemic. in the end he made the decisions he made on the sound advice of the experts, prominently dr fauci (a democrat). as it turned out, the experts were actually wrong in some cases. yes, people have died and this fact is very unfortunate (i need to add that the government is paying hospitals $12,000 or more for every positive covid patient   a clear incentive for them to categorize more admissions as covid related, whether it is true or not). finally, in retrospect there are steps he could have taken, but based on the advice he was given at the time, he made the decisions based on expert advice. it is easier today to say what he should have done, but he didn’t have until today (with all the additional knowledge we now have of the virus) to make his decision. he needed to make it then. i think president trump has done an outstanding job in handling this virus and getting a vaccine approved. alexa says december 20, 2020 at 11:26 am he took a great big step, he streamlined the vaccine. you can thank trump for that. thank president trump for streamlining the vaccine,. that’s what he did… he closed the borders, which by the way, he was called a xenophobe for even though every other country did the same. now why don’t you go and blame the real people for the spread of the virus… the chinese government who lied and kept it from the world. christine h darges says december 28, 2020 at 9:48 pm the reality is that the virus was a biological weapon. the us cdc was complicit because we funded the lab in wuhan and unc for a while but at some point we saw what was going on but it was too late. the ccp orchestrated the release and the rest is what we have now. no one person can be held responsible for deaths in this country as there was so much influence from so called health experts, good and bad decisions made. the most unfortunate event was the second the virus became a political weapon to create an outcome of the election, instilling fear and lockdowns. this was through covert law changes state by state, taking away any faith in us citizens that they could vote in person like they should have, and frankly scaring everyone beyond belief. the real facts are better understood now but the reality is that the virus data was never and still is not reliable and continues to be manipulated by people in powerful positions that want to oppress the people. mary says december 31, 2020 at 3:56 pm for the love of god! you sound just like fox new, the new show that is taking over fox news, and trump!!! dumb to the lying core! m. davis says january 2, 2021 at 12:56 am what are the exact steps should that president have taken? he relied on so called federal employees who are career professionals. president trump is not a medical doctor! is he? how would he know about the virus more than a cdc top doctor who fed him the information to say? help us all out with these exact steps please! charles says december 12, 2020 at 9:37 pm as a moderate, i looked into trump supporters’ claims that’s the dems are like venezuela, north korea, and china. however after close study of those countries’ leaders, and speaking to friends that have families in venezuela, families stuck in north korea, and china; they all say trump very much resembles those dictators. they all denied democracy and the fair election, refused they lost, spread fear and hate rhetorics. i fear trumpets are supporting the very thing they think they are opposing. with trump, we will be the next venezuela, north korea, and china. especially those who are vowing to start a war for their leader, trump. who lost election fairly. jose says december 15, 2020 at 4:23 pm watch much news? are you out of touch. biden is in deep with china and has sold out to them. the ukraine dealings are nothing compared to what is to come from china, mary says december 31, 2020 at 4:05 pm jose, don’t you have a brain? use it and stop drinking the trump lies. robert fulmer says december 15, 2020 at 8:52 pm imposter. dawg says december 16, 2020 at 11:31 am please do not fear for trump supporters. we can take care of ourselves, thank you. i reserve the right to ask you in a couple of years (if free speech is still a right) how you feel about the state of our nation under president harris’ leadership mike says december 20, 2020 at 10:09 am it’s pointless, trumps zombies are not open to using their minds in any way. trump tells them what to think, and they obediently obey master. a proven liar and two bit conman is their chosen one. m. davis says january 2, 2021 at 12:59 am sir, are you actually employed and working or are you on the govt dole? quin appice says december 12, 2020 at 8:24 am interesting debate. as a european i can tell you that donald trump appears to many of us to be the very worst aspect of the us character stereotype. arrogant, seemingly far more wealthy than can ever be good for a person, self absorbed and full of bluster and hypocrisy about everything and anything. i don not think i am wrong to see the way he cannot accept the election result shows all these characteristics to a high degree. he is anti democratic and has run the usa in a terrible way apparently because he was humiliated by the intelligence and suave manner of barak obama over the birthing business. robert fulmer says december 15, 2020 at 8:58 pm your opinion is the same as many. judge the man on his accomplishments, not on outdated stuffed shirt european ideas. ricky sandefur says december 30, 2020 at 1:07 pm well, we would judge him on his accomplishments if he had done anything good besides be the cruelest president ever. never a thought for others always whining he is mistreated. you know rich people problems, while the country is dieing, kids go hungry, and families go homeless. but donot worry no money for workers, got to give the country club crowd a tax break. shame on republicans, this why i cannot vote for you. m. davis says january 2, 2021 at 1:08 am dude, you really don’t know what cruelty is. i do! i served in the vietnam war for six years i have seen what real human cruelty looks like. did you serve in the us military and have you known what real cruelty is or have you lived the life of riley here as a us citizen at the expense of those who had their arms blown off, their legs blown off or killed in the worst horrible ways in the bloodiest mess on earth? i picked myself up and busted my but to work six days a week after i got out. i asked no one for anything! suesue2020 says january 7, 2021 at 8:17 pm thank you m davis; you are absolutely right! margery v says december 16, 2020 at 4:14 am hillary first brought up the birther thing. karen downey says december 21, 2020 at 8:40 pm donald started the birther conspiracy and blamed. it on hillary. most of the stuff that he accuses other people of are made up. he’s the boy who cried wolf. not only that, but he contradicts himself, and denies saying things that are on tape. why would you still want to believe anything he says? turn around don’t drown in the muck david weller says december 23, 2020 at 1:38 am not true. that was just another trump lie. karen downey says december 21, 2020 at 8:53 pm this is one of the best comments on this site, and yet you are not american. hmn,,could it be that distance,,and. alternative experience provides you with more objective perspective? there are trump supporters who do not believe in democracy;,they want an autocracy….just like trump. i met some of those having a meeting at a huddle house. heaven help us! jason says december 28, 2020 at 2:21 pm just like so many you simply don’t like him because he is arrogant and self absorbed but if you can read check out his list of accomplishments pick a person to do a job not because you like who he is ricky sandefur says december 30, 2020 at 1:24 pm he has no accomplishments,done nothing but help destroy the environment and torture people. but i guess trump supporters love the cruelness of watching others suffer such deplorable idiots. m. davis says january 2, 2021 at 6:07 am ricky, have you served this country in the us armed forces in any war? m. christine h darges says december 28, 2020 at 9:59 pm you are likely getting your information from main stream media sources. i have a cousin in poland that says the same thing and he is insulated and doesn’t know where to seek real news. it’s amazing how censored us news is now. it’s a huge violation of our rights and people are very angry about it. you can’t see the outrage because it’s not covered so we are living through a transition to censorship, oppressions, lockdowns, and our economy is being destroyed by democratic governors on purpose. if you notice, trump has become a president for the middle class. yes his demeanor is what it is but you have to look at policies and actions not ideas. its easy to say this is bad and that is bad but life is life. the idea of a fantasy land where everyone is the same is equal to oppression. obama was the beginning of the downfall, a 2 year senator preened by socialists behind the scene. he divided this country because he was black and he used that he was black to make that happen. he like many dems put people in groups and categories and when you do that you automatically divide people by the way you put them in a group. its a trick. jorge says december 11, 2020 at 2:22 pm certainly is hard to say but here in america the country has secret societies as the the masons and illuminati almost from the beginning of it formation, globalists are selling this country to the communism, as a judeanmason agenda only the americans can stop this to happen, the fight is just against trump, this an assault to america in a whole, big corporation socialist organization, liberal, communists, antifa and more… soros is the facade the same for google, facebook and twitter.. mike says december 20, 2020 at 10:11 am you are a nut case. nikto says february 1, 2021 at 4:01 am sure is. daniel says december 11, 2020 at 1:05 pm if you look back in history, you quickly discover that no nation lasts for very long. nations rise to prominence and believe they are the greatest nation on earth, only to fall into decadence and collapse in degradation. it happens over and over again, and the united states of america is well on it’s way to oblivion. people like to think that god will bless america, but god only allows nations to survive as long as they follow after his will. these united states of america were once composed of godly people, but now the majority is busy with the work of the devil, and satan is laughing at our obscene ways and evil lives. i’m sorry to see america collapse, but it’s no surprise. we’re the next sodom and gomorrah and the end will come quickly with fire and brimstone. the united states will soon become divided states and those of us who want to live in peace and harmony can only hope we will be in the right state and the right time. skip miller says december 15, 2020 at 5:22 pm you are so right.now commies will be in charge.i am a christian, babylon is falling.💀 ricky sandefur says december 30, 2020 at 1:17 pm anyone that still supports this want to be dictator is the idiot. it is not the democrats that are traitors like trump who always sides with putin your just another white guy afraid of minrorities and think women should stay home and wait on their husbands. screw you. ricky sandefur says december 30, 2020 at 1:37 pm why do you think you are so good because you are a christian when you support the cruelest human alive? he is not appointed by god he is a fake a phony and a fraud and lies with every breath. this false idol is who jesus warned you about. but you are to blind to your leaders horrible cruelty and love for only himself and other dictators.but then again that is why you like him you agree with his cruelty. not very christian like for a bunch of bible thumpers. mary says december 31, 2020 at 4:04 pm i’ll second that! you nailed lying trump 100% correct.. m. davis says january 2, 2021 at 6:13 am will you or will you not accept the stimulus check. yes or no? if you do you will be bringing this nation to it’;s knees in debt. bill says december 16, 2020 at 2:50 pm so, tell me, how’s the weather in moscow? jordan says december 22, 2020 at 5:29 am wow your ignorance and smugness is abhorrent! keith w fletcher says december 27, 2020 at 11:24 am i am beginning to realize the depths of corruption ,and absolute hatred necessary to fracture the very foundation that is needed for any civilization to exist within the framework of world history,! time alone dictates when tribalism becomes the natural antidote for the ills of entrenched governments  not borne of true rule of law or any visionary enmeshed enlightenment,  but one simply conjured up by the latest charlatans of any era. the ability of persuasion is probably more powerful when introduced to the upward mobile societies because the very same momentum that is required to navigate the rise is also the fuel that will widen the gap between the haves and the have nots. no goverment ( as we understand such elements today) could step into power here and make a balancing attempt short of totalitarian austarity , simply because those who have become the rich and powerful riders are not concerned by who , what why or how they are allowed to ride so comfortably up the rise . no ,sadly they only care about their seat and making it secure for themselves and theirs, not the multitudes of laboring hungry ,abused and neglected who have found their life is simply 1 of 2 choices . 1 is to just push and survive for themselves and therefore their families or quit pushing and try to get out of the suddenly backsliding monster , hoping to salvage something   anything   from the eventual catastrophic collision as the future propels itself into the reality of an ever looming past ; that is time itself and cannot be stopped. certainly not by our insignificance, no matter how vainglorious we believe we are ! in the end ,; as in any beginning, time has shown that we are nomads to entrenched stone fortresses back to nomad to bigger, stronger fottresses that never hold forever  time sees to that as it passes by ,carryjng the latest brand of tribal nomads with it and crushing all in its wake. the world ,  i fear   has never seen the likes of the american nomads, who are now being.manufactured as we stand here today ,arguing about what maga means and what bathroom should be used . in literal terms again indicates a return to something we were , which is something time simply will not allow , as those riding high and unconcerned are determined to see for themselves as it flashes before their eyes . i am no longer pushing or encouraging others ,who may believe a rest will exist when we reach the crest. no crest exists because time is constant ,its march always steady and its path is a flat endless plane while we create the rise and angle of ascent in mathmatical precision …calculated by the number of and energy needed by the ones pushing multiplied by the unknown factor of x (what it takes to stay alive ) . hungry hopeless ,frightened sick and neglected people ( no matter the good will and pride ) cannot keep going if more energy output only steepens the angle. time runs this show and you know what that saying is …only time will tell. absolutly correct …only this go round we may still have an internet connection linking us back to who you were and what you did to your family name . that will be your legacy ,but it may well be the heavy chain of shame that your children and grandchilren will bear the weight of for generations to come  and only you know why they are sentenced to do your time as the amercan version of untouchables anny says december 11, 2020 at 1:20 am very informative blog . i like the content. it is interesting to read . thanks for sharing !! and keep posting !! benjamin david steele says december 10, 2020 at 8:52 am since most americans are far to the left of the corporate media and the corporatists in both parties, what does it mean to say they hate america? if america isn’t defined by americans, then what exactly is this hypothetical america that excludes most americans? and how can the majority be on the ‘left’? isn’t the majority position the very definition of the center? https://benjamindavidsteele.wordpress.com/2010/01/23/us demographics increasing progressivism/ https://benjamindavidsteele.wordpress.com/2019/06/23/american people keep going further left/

https://benjamindavidsteele.wordpress.com/2017/09/24/poll answers stated beliefs ideological labels/ american says december 10, 2020 at 10:34 pm why the left hates america huh? let me guess because we don’t let you use your right hand to jerk yourself off could that be it fucking assholes jordan says december 22, 2020 at 5:26 am what are you talking about? a majority of the individuals posting statements and replying are fundamentally illiterate and ignorant. the left as a whole with the democrat party, socialists, media, big tech, elitist and their evil minion/ pawns are almost outright copying hitler’s national socialist party power grab in the 1930’s (aka nazi’s) to a t! then turn around and blame any and everyone who doesn’t agree and/or in the way of their illegal, manipulative, evil plans and actions focused on destroying the constitution, bill of rights, and the judeo/christian foundation (which the left hates) that america was built on and thrived. trump is not the major problem. everyone who supports what he stands for and fights for is the systemic issue that must be destroyed in the eyes of the left. open your eyes! keeping americans blind, def, and ignorant directed by the media, big tech, politics and the education system’s was the plan from decades ago playing out now in a full assault on this incredible country we knew as america! carl cripps says december 13, 2020 at 2:57 am americans have always been a bunch of gang mentality cowards… from bob ford who shot james in the back….. to booth who was the brave critter who snuck up and shot lincoln from behind so go for another civil war and annilate each other, ..if anyone deserves one you people do…you have worked hard for one………who cares about another third rate country such as the u.s. who cant even feed their masses stirring it up…….not one of you brave people have the guts to put penis breath trump out of his misery…. and while custer was massacred his subordinates hid out in the forest…yes the american way….you have a snake on 2 legs in a suit in the white house who only eats mcdonalds and has shit stained underwear all the time the fat creepo…look at pences nose and tell me trumps tent underwear is not stained… anonymous says december 26, 2020 at 12:57 am you’re a little soy boy psycho….do us and yourself a favor and never speak again….mr limp wrist. anonymous says december 28, 2020 at 5:22 pm get a dictionary dave hillman says december 9, 2020 at 12:01 pm it’s articles like this that only serve to further the division. dems don’t hate america any more than the gop does, and versa vice. both love this country, however, they simply have different ideas of how it should be. unfortunately, reaching across the aisle doesn’t happen much as it once did, where compromising has become a thing of the past. this constant battling amongst ourselves will only kill us, and possibly, quite literally. i am currently gdi, formerly gop, never dem. i must admit, i am having a difficult time understanding how so many cannot see what is happening. president trump is screaming foul, we need to stop the steal, thus donations are needed, and so they believe, and give, even when they can’t afford to. as of five days ago, he’s raked in over $200,000,000, most of which will not be used for the election fraud legal fund. i supported his right to demand recounts. however, demanding it over and over and over, filing frivolous lawsuits (it’s an embarrassment to be gop and watch what they argued) to stall for time, hoping scotus would call the election in his favor, knowing he does not have any actual evidence of fraud. this is wrong. he is manipulating his followers and conning them out of their hard earned dollars, playing on our emotions. this is not what a good leader would do. a good leader would also not rip the country apart at the core because he lost an election and can’t face his loss. it’s disgusting. i want my gop back. lee says december 10, 2020 at 6:17 pm as a life long democrat i want you get it back. if we want to work at democracy one cannot survive without the other. the missing link to our failed state are conservative principles. we are knee deep in radioactive trump fallout. a country that knowingly voted for someone of this low caliber probably deserves what comes. . only then can we look upon our mistakes to hopefully move forward from this stain of human failure. dawg says december 16, 2020 at 11:37 am please do not fear for trump supporters. we can take care of ourselves, thank you. i reserve the right to ask you in a couple of years (if free speech is still a right) how you feel about the state of our nation under president harris’ leadership karl says december 20, 2020 at 9:20 am who paid for the wall? chris says december 10, 2020 at 8:12 pm you have got to be kidding the republicans are as bad as full blown socialism no democratic socialism is b.s. if it’s got that satanic crap socialism is socialism is socialism period nancy craig says december 10, 2020 at 9:18 pm republicans don’t love this country. most of them are doing everything they can to overturn an election to keep trump in office. that’s not american. it’s more like a third world country. dawg says december 16, 2020 at 11:53 am and the democrats fabricated a dossier and falsely impeached a president. sounds like liberals have done everything they can to remove trump from office. for four years!! that certainly is not american either. william plemon says december 11, 2020 at 8:07 pm the two party system has historically failed miserably over and over, if you and l can not see this we are the problem. you can’t change you can’t grow liberat or conservieyou can only pit youself against your own best interests karen downey says december 21, 2020 at 8:23 pm yes the 2 party system is the root cause of all this stupid, hateful, bickering. it’s not the cause of ignorance, however, i believe that is mostly willful. a lot of folks just believe whatever floats their boat, and you can always find dumbasses and assholes who will help you float it. anyhow. i digress. the current electoral system does not give us democracy,,it only allows 2,powerful parties to remain in power. this only allows for a tug of war,, in which one party ends up face down in the mud, we need to stop fighting each othet and blaming the other party, and fight together to completly revamp the entire electoral system including the elimination of the electoral college, installing ranked choice voting, and uniform voting rules for all states in the supposedly united states of america.this will enable other parties to blossom and give us more than 2 choices. an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure!! an ounce of lou hafner says january 1, 2021 at 1:06 am you describe our country as a democracy. we are a republic that elects people to represent us. the electoral college mirrors the type of representation our founders agreed to. 435 congress men and 100 senators. it was done this way so the large states would not have absolute power over the small states. if you do away with the electoral college, we would be turning back to the time when our country was founded there is no law that says we can only have 2 parties. in fact our country has many parties. it is not about the constitution(which should be relooked at we have a supreme court making ruling, based on a 240 year old document) it is about the$$$$$$$$$. take the profit out of national politics. no more pac’s, $1000 individual donations, $100,000 corporate foundation donations. then new and lesser known parties could compete.. whether this last election was fair or not is of no consequence. an outsider or a 3rd party could not say one way or the other., but the illusion of possible cheating on both sides could happen. tighten the election laws. we need standard election regulations stringently followed in each and every state. absentee ballots with proof of residency and only with good reason(soldier, work out of the country or illness with a physician endorsement. no early voting(that is a joke), no drop off voting, everyone has to produce a picture i.d. with 1 utility bill. triple the amount of polling places and keep them open 24 hours a day for 3 days. if you cannot get to a polling place in a 72 hour period it is your fault and no exceptions. an official voter registration would be held 3 times a year for 5 consecutive days. vote counting would have to be standardized and no votes could be could not be counted until all votes from outlying areas arrive at a central location. vote counters would not be told what vote counting centers they would be working in until 2 hours before the polls close. go back to all paper ballots. this would end all of the suspicion and lawsuits. something to think about. since the presidential election, nov 3rd, over 70,000 new voters have been registered in georgia. and the last number i saw was $504 million had been spent on this runoff election linda fisher says december 12, 2020 at 8:25 am and what do you think the democrats did to him? we have witnessed nothing but hatred and abuse of our president since he was elected from the democrats. they have instituted one coup after another to put him out of office. even when the covid virus came about, they were busy trying to impeach him and critisizing him for his efforts to curb the virus. the democrats have had hearings when the republicans were not allowed to have any sayso in those hearings nor were they allowed to have witnesses. the various crimes of hillary clinton and he paid for dossier led to the investigation by the democrats that cost taxpayers $45 million dollars, but nothing was said about that. and then they instituted another investigation into our president that also failed because there was no evidence. so who is the victim here and who is the culprit? if you cannot see this then you are blind and deaf. the democrats have also led the media and its half truths and absolutely no truths in their reporting. they all sound like puppets from the same wood and have noses longer than pinnoceo’s. anonymous says december 16, 2020 at 6:25 am dems did nothing to him, thief liar and a con man coming in to fill his pockets up,, ignored deadly pandemic. told the people virus is harmless told reporter virus deadly. the 1/4 million that have died. he paid his taxes in china and cheated on his us taxes (what a guy) gave stimulus aid to wealthy family and friends tax 4 givness, cuts tax forgiveness on earnrd income over 1 million . over charged for secret service rooms a trump hotel while they protected 3 grown kids of trump, did nothing to help struggling families. naw he done a lot wrong. going to be prosecuted for some things too. stripes dawg says december 16, 2020 at 11:49 am well said! trump has had to withstand constant vitriol his entire administration. pure hatred from the left. zero willingness to compromise on anything. the media is completely at fault here. the have no journalistic integrity, they no longer just report facts. they slam left wing opinion at america 24/7. does trump have a big mouth? absolutely! but he has done a fantastic job improving lives of minorities, creating record jobs, helping the poor. everything he was elected to do, he did it. it would not surprise me if biden/dnc were in cahoots with xi, and they schemed to create this terrible virus to unleash on the world and disrupt our economy. anonymous says december 13, 2020 at 9:58 am you have no proof the donated money won’t be used for the defense fund so why did you say it? your trying to deceive people with your statement. if you don’t realize what’s going on in our country then i’m happy you left the gop because you sound like all the other rino’s. patricia myersriley says december 13, 2020 at 10:00 am you are correct, the man child who is now throwing a full on tantrum because he lost the votes of the majority as well as the electoral votes. he’s not fighting for this country, he’s angry that he looks like the losers he’s always taunted. i have veterans of war on both sides of my family, going all the way back to the revolution. that is fighting for your country, when your called to serve you serve, if you volunteer to serve you serve. this pathetic excuse of a man had his daddy buy him out of war five times. that is not patriotism. he doesn’t care about middle class or poor people, he wants his billionaire friends (who hate him and on a hot mic rex tillers on called trump a fucking moron). you who go to the rallies, buy the hat, and want him in office even though he lost the majority and electoral votes, have basically been brainwashed into the cult of trump. that is not patriotism, it’s white nationalist/white christian supremest bullshit. now you are going out there like your supreme leader tells you to do, to rip the greatest country in the world into bits, just to give him the sick satisfaction of tearing down and burning this country. i have uncle’s who fought the germans invading normandy, some were belly gunner’s, some were boots on the ground. all seven of my dad’s brothers joined the us navy, the younger one died at 18 serving on the uss liscombe bay which was sunk by a japanese submarine. every single one of them and all the other men and women who serve are patriots and heroes. trump’s base is willing to do his dirty work, tearing at the fabric of this great country. none of you are patriots or heroes, you are soulless, gutless anarchist shithead’s. you are in a cult, you drank the kool aid, can anyone remember how that turns out? cecile says december 16, 2020 at 4:52 am the president had no ideal how to deal with a pandamic/but few did. he did have these trained people on his team they were trained for dealing with just that .situation, he doesnt take kindly to anyones advice. he believes his brilliance will solve all things. but this was ignored to watch and protect stocks that were plunging, when he got back around to the virus hw gad termed it a democrat hoax nothing to worry about, just like flu he said. it will be gone in a month when warm spring comes in. he did share with bob woodward that the virus is very deadly,and still did nadt dave says december 13, 2020 at 8:12 pm you are so wrong f brown says december 15, 2020 at 3:38 pm very good mr hillerman,the thing is we the people don’t like being classified , categorized , numbered or labeled.so stop even thinking that way ever! in the world we the people are americans …i’m proud of that . but what about swing voters ? or people who vote for a candidate based on his or her character regardless of political affiliation or race or creed? what will you do then reclassify ? or what about folks that vote a split ticket? what will you do then say they have a split personality ?there is a movement of peace and love that still lives today and will never die. we the people do classify you ultra conservative ,racist, haters akin to the kkk and nazis ,white supremacists power mongers , linch mob killers and assassins ! we the people are protected by the constitution but you are not! ann says december 16, 2020 at 12:19 am you can’t be serious oh my goodness you are so uninformed we are in the middle of a hostile takeover by foreign entities. do you really think trump needs money, he was a millionaire before he took office. look at the career politicians they’re the ones who do that kind of shit. and fleece the sheep. you better wake up. i’m serious you better wake up mb says december 26, 2020 at 4:26 pm amen…this is a ridiculous left article margery v says december 16, 2020 at 4:25 am but you are ok with the dems getting millions from blm who have never actually helped blacks. and biden on record being racists and not wanting to live with them in the jungle. what have the democrats done for minorities?? just use them at election time. convince them they are to stupid to get id’s to vote and need extra points to compete for college. there is election fraud on many levels and you know it. come on b got more votes than obama, not likely. trumps ahead and the big deciding states quit counting? republicans not allowed to watch the counting.dominion machines geared to flip trump votes to biden. you are either a liar or delusional. alexa says december 20, 2020 at 11:34 am first of all., you can thank your gop leader for streamlining the the vaccine, he’s the reason we have it. second of all, the election was rigged and completely fraudulent. now, instead of looking at your hatred for trump, look at the facts. the gop today is the same gop as yesterday, however, the liberal party has become a bunch of race baiting, fear mongering, bullying hypocrites. at least the gop has proof against biden and his son selling his influence, the liberals had no proof of the russian hoax, in fact, they have proof that it was all orchestrated by your pals the dems… hillary and obama. connie tracheck says december 8, 2020 at 11:43 pm wow .. some people posting on here are super nasty …… shame shame .. cam22 says december 8, 2020 at 11:09 am i know i’m a little late to the game, but i have to say our nation has been under great stress. a lot of things are going to be put out for all to see. we have a president who has bashed, liberals, blacks, latinos, his own administration. and for what? just because he lost a damn election. 200,000 plus lives, and still counting under his watch. and all he thinks about is having rally’s to stand up and spur hate. he’s not there to benefit the senators. he’s just there to cause havoc for his supporters and our country. his priorities have never been nation first. it’s his ego that’s first. i wasn’t going to bring this up, but what the hell. many republicans are about ready to fall. 2 people are talking. it’s about the voting machines, not dominions its msm’s. venezuela, china and our military. the 2 names who are talking is sidney powell and lin wood. it’s in black and white. he has done so much damage, and i feel for his supporters who vowed to fight for him. he’s letting them down mostly. and it breaks my heart. let me just say, biden is not perfect, but he has empathy and he looks out for the ones who need a little extra help! under biden we will never be socialist or communism. it’s an old tactic that republicans have been using for 60 years, it called fear. our country is still the best and no one wants our freedoms taking away. i have so many truthful sources and so much more to say, but i’ll let you do some research. government is the best place to start. use yahoo. i read where someone said, “trump has blood on his hands.” they are correct, not just with covid 19. it’s scary and i’m sick to my stomach. there’s a reason why he’s fighting. i’m not religious, but i do believe in god. i don’t pray as much as i should, because i feel god has more important things. but, weeks before the election, i prayed, that biden would win and he did. god loved me and 80 million others. god knew, what our country needed. sometimes you have to give it to god, if not i would be in jail. i hope trumps supporters will have hope that nothing is going to change, except there will be no more hate, racism and division. i wish everyone a merry christmas and a blessed new year! have hope and kindness and you’ll be filled with joy! 😊 einstein says december 8, 2020 at 6:53 pm racism is not bad, it’s a fact of life, of being human….we don’t correlate other races facial expressions well, we don’t find other races romantically as attractive as our own, white babies and black babies pick the white doll at age 2 98% of the time. the difference is most modern countries understand these tendencies and work through them; yes it’s hard, but it enables multiculturalism….which is what truly built america….not the authors warped perspective of exceptionalism….slaves, chinese, latinos and ceo immigrants have build america, we lose when we forget who we are, the rejects of europe. alex says december 21, 2020 at 7:30 pm einstein. 2 things. your name   is accurate if you are referring to yourself as the einstein of ignorance. the other thing, i stopped reading when you said “racism isn’t bad…”. you and other like you (including this president) are exactly what is wrong with this country. i did not need to read any further to know that you are an uneducated, ignorant racist. may god have mercy on your soul thomas beaty says december 8, 2020 at 8:03 pm you must be a godless brain washed unamerican moron. what pissed you off to the point of not giving a damn about this finest country on gods earth? you sound like a goddamn commy! if you dont love this nation, leave. i am sure venezuela will take you. anonymous says december 11, 2020 at 2:25 am wow . claming god while you use his name in vain. you are sadly a example of the hypocrisy rampant today. sad so sad. maile spencer napoleon says december 8, 2020 at 8:50 pm dear sir, i thank you for your positive letter on our situation. i live, in hawaii, and believe that blessings and love, sent out by all of us is what we need. to be pisitive. i can say, i am not positive, all the time, but i use what we call the “aloha spirit”. it’s not a perfect world. neither are we. if, we all can come, to a true ferling of helping each other. by, our emotions and feelings, to keep our “balance”. our, disappointments, and anger, does not help us. there, is a light at the end, of the tunnel. so, we as social humans can act and react with each other in a very humane way. i send, my blessings and love and fond hawai’ian aloha to the people, of our world. to end c.v. and be much more, civil with each other. me ka aloha pemehana from hawai’i nei. kahu maile spencer napoleon. god bless, america. maile spencer napoleon says december 8, 2020 at 8:52 pm correction me ke aloha pumehana , with heartfelt wishes to you. nancy craig says december 10, 2020 at 9:52 pm you sound like a very nice person! margery v says december 16, 2020 at 4:31 am totally agree but as a supporter of trump the dems decided to call us all sorts of names even hillary and her deploreable statement and all the dems harrassment of the sitting prez makes you wonder if the want coivil disobedient with the gang called antifa. crissy says january 7, 2021 at 4:10 pm as you have us. the right has been calling the left names for years. it all needs to stop. anonymous says december 8, 2020 at 11:05 pm you can’t blame deaths from a virus on a president. li says december 10, 2020 at 6:32 pm you’re right. however you can blame the vacuous and incompetent response of it to the level of sabotaging a crisis made worse. his failure to seize the moment cost him and us dearly. what trump loyalists don’t understand about the reaction of a president during crisis is, words matter. in times of crisis, words separate the men from mice. he is impotent, lacks skilled finesse and couldn’t pull the trigger. he reacted by calling it a hoax because he didn’t have a clue what else to do. the people spoke: one term strongman and a death toll close to 300k. margery v says december 16, 2020 at 4:34 am oh please while pelosi goes to china town and encourages travel and collectively the dems call trump a racist for barring travel. do you think their policies would have been better , you monday morning quarterback?? cecile says december 16, 2020 at 4:45 am the president had no ideal how to deal with a pandamic/but few did. he did have these trained people on his team they were trained for dealing with just that .situation, he doesnt take kindly to anyones advice. he believes his brilliance will solve all things. but this was ignored to watch and protect stocks that were plunging, when he got back around to the virus hw gad termed it a democrat hoax nothing to worry about, just like flu he said. it will be gone in a month when warm spring comes in. he did share with bob woodward that the virus is very deadly. christina says january 7, 2021 at 4:12 pm the ones he fired in 18 or 19? dan says december 13, 2020 at 4:30 am but there are steps he could have taken to greatly minimize the number of those deaths, and he didn’t take them. the virus isn’t his fault, but isn’t there some responsibility for every decision made since community spread began here? margery v says december 16, 2020 at 4:37 am its a cold 99.5 survival rate. you watch to much cnn who are trying to convince us this is the plaque. if it were so deadly clerks in stores, nurses , etc would not be working. obama had a similar virus that he ignored and more importantly the media never hyped. ricky sandefur says december 30, 2020 at 1:49 pm why do you think you are so good because you are a christian when you support the cruelest human alive? he is not appointed by god he is a fake a phony and a fraud and lies with every breath. this false idol is who jesus warned you about. but you are to blind to your leaders horrible cruelty and love for only himself and other dictators.but then again that is why you like him you agree with his cruelty. not very christian like for a bunch of bible thumpers. anonymous says december 14, 2020 at 1:26 pm just did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bob says december 8, 2020 at 11:07 pm you are the worst type of person that exists. i am legitimately sorry for the way you have been programmed to think. anonymous says december 20, 2020 at 8:27 am you don’t even know that person. why is it so important that you judge and pity them? anonymous says december 9, 2020 at 9:51 am biden is pro abortion and has cognitive decline. he is not a candidate who deserves to hold the most important job in the world. jshh says december 10, 2020 at 10:51 pm the support of abortion tells me a lot about a person. who are we to determine what is viable or when life begins? i don’t even think anyone cares to debate that anymore when we have political leaders who support partial birth and/or full term abortions and are pushing for in our states. anyone who believes abortion is a right is insane. it’s murder! don’t you know that your father, the devil was a murderer from the beginning. he came to steal, kill, and destroy, abortion is all of those things and the devil is behind it. wake up people! people laugh at you and think you’re uneducated if that is the most important societal and political issue that you look at. remember that things are that shouldn’t be, and that things that should be aren’t. anonymous says december 12, 2020 at 12:33 pm and trump doesn’t currently have cognitive decline he was never very intelligencent. did you forget he paid someone to take his sat’s to get into college. a good man is worse than a malignantr cruel narcissistic liar that almost got us into war with north korea. fortunately, kim was smarter than trump and beat him at the only game trump knows how to play flattery.. that makes you feel safe, i don’t want to see tanks roll down the streets in a parade to feed his pathological ego. margery v says december 16, 2020 at 4:41 am where do you get that info. pretty sure from the mainstream media. he was never called a racist before he was president and your supposed facts need to be checked out. the media has been 100 percent against him from the start and fawn over biden who is on record being a racist. voting against bussing because he didn’t want his kids in the jungle with them. sherry says january 7, 2021 at 12:51 am but he’s still smarter than you are! bob says december 9, 2020 at 10:27 am this idiot has his or her head in its ass. probably another know it all who does not know god or of him. you stupid ass hole look behind the media lines and the truth about biden and the evil force behind him. all his intentions are focused on his wealth and his parties power over the the people. what if we had two presidents? i’m sure you would find out very quickly what a fraud and lier joe biden really is.. the people are separated because we don’t want to take chances with our life’s or the united states well being by allowing this spawn of satan or his associates to rule .? anonymous says december 10, 2020 at 3:46 pm you are right, brother. benjamin david steele says december 11, 2020 at 8:36 am someone who knows god does not speak with such hatred of others. besides, one doesn’t need to be a fan of biden to realize that trump is not a good person in the slightest. https://benjamindavidsteele.wordpress.com/2019/10/07/john podesta clinton democrats and ukraine/ https://benjamindavidsteele.wordpress.com/2020/11/27/trump is innocent of the crime of liberalism/ kevin says december 11, 2020 at 12:12 pm wilful ignorance is apparently your special talent. sad. trump has left no doubt that he is literally a narcissistic psychopath career criminal. i would suggest another round of articles of impeachment. trump and state gop attorneys general are guilty of conspiracy to commit sedition; a felony punishable with 20 years in federal prison. impeachment would prohibit any exercise of an executive pardon for those impeachable offenses. there’s ample time to impeach trump and his co conspirators before biden’s inauguration. just do it!!! f brown says december 11, 2020 at 2:59 pm why do the republicans hate america. so much that in the 60’s future republicans presidents were co conspirators in the kennedy assassination . now this same hatred for democratic america is blatantly evident. trump is be orchestrating anarchy . telling his armed fanatics “to stand down “ one day then another time liberate michigan followed by a conspiracy to war against michigan! that is treason ! he’s going to command his pride boys to kill assassinate ! protect joe biden b president elect hb says december 14, 2020 at 1:32 pm wow bob. if you’re such a christian, try some forgiveness. margery v says december 16, 2020 at 4:43 am so true but they have been brainwashed by schools and media. gloria alfonso says december 9, 2020 at 12:08 pm thank you for speaking your mind. you are absolutely correct! kudos to you. blue says december 9, 2020 at 3:13 pm i feel like i’m reading a letter of a person’s special utopia, i suppose we all have one…if she really believes there will be no more racism, hate & division i say wake up, the sin nature is in all human flesh! i was led to believe if you work to the best of your ability & treat others the way you want to be treated you’ll achieve your goals and i have with lots of study, work & sacrifice, if you don’t work for it how does one mature, grow & learn from experience? today, it seems with this chant of a new society “love everybody, help your neighbor, be kind,” is it really that new? not to me! what has happened to individual responsibility/accountability for all of us especially in our leaders? i’m extremely concerned about transparency, is it wrong to demand it from those in authority or for them to take responsibility like “the common people” must in our culture? it’s interesting everyone seems to think trump is the reason for all the countries whoa’s & didn’t give a crap, i say stop following the crowd, find your authenticity, it’s a journey & not an easy one! alot of us are living in our self described utopia but some are more selfish & greedy as they maneuver through life, democrat or republican or libertarian or independent a heart change is necessary & only god really knows one true motives remember our hearts are deceitful & cannot be trusted! i want to always remember that! john says december 11, 2020 at 11:31 am without fully alive, free, enlightened, progressive people, in human history, humanity would still be living in caves, in the dark, in fear, many fully alive enlightened progressive people called fully alive liberal/liberated/free enlightened progressive democrats in the usa, in 2020 many called fully alive liberal/liberated/ free enlightened progressive republicans in the usa in 2020 many called christians in the usa, in 2020. they are assisting in healing, improving lives with words and deeds living knowing truth, love, and showing the truth, love with words and deeds a part of love is right action. http://chooselifenotdeathanddestruction.homestead.com/ fully alive, liberal/liberated/free, enlightened, progressive people are defending inalienable human rights and also defending civil rights written into usa constitution. they are defending the usa constitution against foreign and domestic enemies. they are rejoicing and glad in this day. trump is a domestic enemy of the usa constitution trump is a domestic enemy of the usa constitution. margery v says december 16, 2020 at 4:53 am fully enlightened then they wouldn’t think socialism/communism that has failed over the world over and over again, is so great and new. as to trump, you might research biden and his son being in bed with china, i call that treason !!! obama and hullary spying on trump. obama not leaving dc so he could arrange an overthrow against trump.how many eo’s did obama write that were against the constiitution? hundreds !! e.f.a says december 9, 2020 at 11:15 pm are you kidding me who ever wrote this first comment is either blind or has been living under a rock for quite a while. no president for as long as i can remember as takin on china, the china flu, the trade embargo, putting up the wall usually without the g.o.p helping him. fighting the u.n for not paying their fair share, and now you have the balls to say he wasn’t, a great president. i just don’t, know where you’ve been. when crazy nancy held up the 2nd stimulas package most dems thought it was the gop, oh my how easy it seems to be when the media can rool out the lies yet we still listen to the corrupt left m wing media, hell i just heard that the cnp is helping to pay these left wing rags their bills,but hay don’t take my word for it just look it up, that is if they will let you. george washington says december 12, 2020 at 8:07 pm we won. you did not. that was the last time your proven corrupt pack of witless attackers of our sacred constitution will be allowed to hold high office. so to all of you so called american citizens i offer this word of advice. stop trying to overthrow my government! you made 60 attempts to take my vote away from me thru lies. the judges, all of the judges said no! never again will we allow anti american nutcases to hold office. give up now. anonymous says december 16, 2020 at 5:51 am i have watched,and heard a 1/4 of a million americans die, as trump watched the stock market recover. damn shame he never checked or really even cared about the sick , not to mention the familes. they did think he would take charge after finding that 40 % of americans had no food to feed their family trader tried to steal our election, by lying on us and using our courts ,now he dont want to pay 4 recounts. thief/ liar we will fightfor our country and citizens. we will demand your prosecution for lying cheating,stealing from americans george says december 10, 2020 at 6:24 am no more hate or division? so cynthia johnson’s remarks really solidify the feeling i see and hear from many people. blood on trump’s hands? your boy was the first one to call him racist for wanting to shut china down then play monday morning quarterback. the “science”, “experts”, and cdc have been completely wrong about what to do and constantly revoke their own recommendations. if you think you can blame one person for any death you’re sadly misinformed and clearly believe what you’re fed. how many deaths were solely from the virus without any underlying pre existing conditions? we wouldn’t want to not scare people would we, or should i say they, ie media, agenda based groups, etc…. if you don’t like trump for whatever reason that’s your preference. but on paper he has done more for this country because he can’t be bought, he’s not a career politician, and he’s not in it for the money. don’t you think that scares the people who pull the strings of the newly elect? hmmm. china definitely hates it. your idea that this country will be in a better position with the new left agendas, antifa, blm, and politicians that cater to them and everything in line with socialism is utterly insane. you will reap what you sow and when there’s no one left to protect what you have or your person, maybe then you will realize the error in judgement. margery v says december 16, 2020 at 4:57 am yep go to china and see how much freedom you don’t have ! biden is bought and paid for by the chinese but he is so out of it kamala will be prez ron stortz sr. says december 13, 2020 at 9:33 am wishful thinking, joe biden is already being investigated for illicit dealings with russia, china, and ukraine! biden may be gone before he is inaugurated! zuzu says december 14, 2020 at 12:04 am why are truckloads of ballots driven from new york to pennsylvania in the early hours of the morning, the day after the election and why were republican poll watchers not only kicked out but cheered at as they left. why did they keep running ballots over and over through the tabulators ? ex gop says december 30, 2020 at 12:22 pm why? because you’ve probably heard it on your right wing “news” media. trump hasn’t won one lawsuit contesting the election. the supreme court denied the texas challenge. no one outside your little cocoon has found evidence of tampering. clinton and every other presidential candidate took their losses with grace, thinking of the country first. trump thinks of trump first, and whines like a little girl, so do his followers. shaun says december 31, 2020 at 11:25 am shut up,supreme court is been paid a hefty sum to denie the truth tmac says december 14, 2020 at 6:05 am shame on you. you are truly a communist in your thinking. equality in a government will never become a reality. it is only a dream in a child’s mind. we are not and never will be born equal in this world let alone in this country. grow up, get educated. and most of all come to a sane conclusion of who you really are and where your information in put comes from. alexab says december 20, 2020 at 10:51 am first of all, 200k lives weren’t lost by trump, they would lost because the chinese government lied about the virus and didn’t want the world, go to cnn, they even admitted it. and the vaccine that’s out now, you can thank your president trump for that. you know, the one you said did nothing?second of all, all the anti conservative stuff started with obama. right now, we have a president elect who’s been compromised by china, whose son sold his own father’s influence to china, we have hillary clinton who lied about the steel dossier & there’s tons of proof now that she started the whole russian hoax, her and obama, she bashed her servers and also bashed her cell phone . you have to ask yourself why? why would she do that if you did do nothing wrong. now, we have liberal media that won’t tell the story about buying it, they purposely withheld it until after the election. then, we have an election that is rife with fraud, but americans so blinded by what their spoon fed by the liberal media and the hate for trump, they’re willing and opening their doors for china to be involved… here we have actual proof about foreign interference, yet left wing stupid liberals don’t want to hear it. anonymous says december 7, 2020 at 12:37 pm hate to say , its gonna take the patriots of america to stand up and rid the country of this socialist party in order to protect our nation, it may take a show of strength and courage and numbers. civil war is coming! brian says december 7, 2020 at 3:58 pm how many republicans? how many democrats? the population of the us is immense and nobody would win a civil war. this country is about to crumble due to hatred on both sides. it is everywhere. carl cripps says december 13, 2020 at 3:08 am brian you hit the nail for sure ….and your short reply is so full of truth nothing else needs to be said…the only thing i wonder brian is how many americans will die of hunger before the shooting starts…. anonymous says december 7, 2020 at 6:01 pm well said, ” lets gird up our loins and put on our breastplate of righteousness. civil war is in underway. anonymous says december 7, 2020 at 11:43 pm the right would have fascism and a gop so fearful and cowardly they can’t protect anything   let alone this country. they are cowering to a failed businessman, failed billionaire, failed president   how would they cower in.a pandemic or an attack . i think we know. van says december 9, 2020 at 9:23 am i have spent some time trying to understand what fascism is, and on solid attribute that it has with communism is that it cannot thrive in a strong democracy, and they hate to share power. neither a fascist or communist party would have a problem meeting behind close doors to create massive legislation such as obama care, and look down their tyrannical noses at the citizens telling them they have to wait until its law, crammed down there throats without have to vent the legislation. before there was fascism for hitler to embraced, he was a dedicated socialist like bernie sanders, and anti capitalist like elizabeth warren. these are strong attributes of those who are dedicated to the left. world war i came to an abrupt end when germany turn to democracy, which was the first thing that was taken away when hitler came to power. the nazis came to power by demonizing the opposition party as the dems do the republicans. what the left hates about america is democracy, they hate to share power which is why many champion packing the supreme court and making states out of dc and a territory to insure their one party run in all branches of government. fascism is not the right wing party that the left wing fanatics brainwash young people to believe. they want a large strong central government to micromanage as lives while, as a conservative, and opposed to fascism, i want a smaller central government, where the state have more leeway as to how to manage their own affairs. when i heard president obama say there is no real difference between capitalism, socialism, and communism, and hold fidel castro to high esteem whose inquisition techniques resulted in an estimated 10,000 deaths, including women and children trying to escape the slave existence that communism imposes in its people, i thing that is a big tell as to which party is the biggest threat to our democracy and free speech. tyrannical states put up border walls to keep there slave citizens imprison, oftentimes killing those trying to escape to countries like ours. i have been saying for awhile now that if the left ever takes over this county, it will cease to be a country to die for, and one that you will want to escape from. citizens are fleeing new york and california to escape high taxes and micromanaging governments. at that point, you will see the left embrace border walls on our northern borders, and we will become a problem for canada as illegal immigrants. but truth, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and when a nation turns from god, good become evil, and evil becomes good. we are polarized today as to how we see good and evil. ali says december 10, 2020 at 6:24 am of course all democrats aka socialist are too coward and are always anonymous.. civil war always won by warriors who believe in their honesty. china, russia, north korea and iran is all you got. all evil like you. we will win. we always do. let’s get it on now!!! damion thomas says december 8, 2020 at 7:35 am you mean the kkk of amerikkka dave hillman says december 9, 2020 at 12:05 pm patriots don’t attack their fellow citizens, mr. russian troll, nor do they start a civil war. traitors do that, not patriots. ali says december 10, 2020 at 6:39 am it’s will take a civil war that will make our 1st civil war nothing. we will easily defeat the socialists. because we are “””americans”” ali15 says december 10, 2020 at 6:41 am yes. let’s do this thomas beaty says december 10, 2020 at 4:04 pm to anonymous: i am a feared that you may be right but , not a feared of the fight. i love my country ,would do what ever it takes to keep it free. one nation under god. thomas beaty says december 10, 2020 at 4:54 pm to anonymous: hate to see it come down to taking up arms but , will if necessary. if that’s what it takes to keep our nation out of the hands of the red left . my father fought for this country in ww2, my for father’s fought to make it free. i will fight to keep it free. enemy’s with in or enemy’s with out!…god bless america! li says december 10, 2020 at 6:50 pm where would the skirmishes of civil war take place? the local winn dixie parking lot in boise idaho? how would a proud boy spot a dirty, left wing lib in boise, falls nebraska or black oak ak? perhaps their teva sandals, lesbian vampire novel and a canvas bag filled with organic produce could be a dead giveaway. perhaps an occasional kidnapping of a governer.? how would a civil war affect the local economy? how many fox, sorry, ( newsmax) watching seniors would get off the couch and come rumble with their canes? anonymous says december 14, 2020 at 10:30 am i believe you’re right joe says december 6, 2020 at 9:13 am the left as you call us dont hate america, we just hate trump cause he is such a total brutal dictator idiot moron pig who cant open his mouth without telling a lie… remember your left hand is closer to your heart than your right hand witch is closer to your ass.. donald j as in jackass trump is whatr is wrong with this country.. people of the world (not just this country) celebrated in the streets when king trump was dethroned. that says alot of folks dont approve of the greatest moron to ever live since hitler. anonymous says december 8, 2020 at 1:50 am i would love to run into you on the street one day and just beat the fuck out of you anonymous says december 9, 2020 at 12:01 pm so says one of the 74 million stable geniuses running around this country. one thing about the trump presidency…….it exposed the stupid underbelly of america anonymous says december 12, 2020 at 11:48 am i always said they existed and one day they would come out of the closet. anonymous says december 13, 2020 at 3:12 am no it exposes the yellow bellys of america…. anonymous says december 9, 2020 at 5:02 pm i beg to differ with you it wouldn’t be anybody here but somebody would maybe russia maybe china but they couldn’t miss the chance to screw us the civil war would help jaybo says december 8, 2020 at 5:51 am you are the left because you are way way out there. you lie. you want socialism.you want communism. you want abortion.you want gay rights.you want to burn the flag.you want god out .you want prayer out. you want american history and anything that represents it out. you want riots and looting.you want illegal aliens. li says december 10, 2020 at 7:36 pm my turn maga, you want authoritarianism. you want a dick tator. you also lie. you want dudes dictating about women’s reproductive system. you want god to look and act like a white male who makes you feel less human, guilty and sinful. you like russia’s flag better than your own because it represents oligarchy. not all libtards agree american history should be thrown out. it’s ugly but it’s ours. we beleive in diversity because it’s natural, sexy and brings more innovation, skill and talents by all to contribute to the economy. we are probably both descendants of white immigrants dare you judge brown skin. while cities unfortunately rioted, police brutality included, a growing cause and momentum was being built that rippled throughout the country. if we had it your way we would be smothered under a repressive, archaic system where a handful of mostly stuffy white guys assult the environment and monopolize it’s resources for pure profit and nothing more. it’s vomit producing. religion, unfettered capitalism, mass media, over population and dwindling resources are causing what you would probably refer to as the rapture and i would refer to as human destruction bloated from addiction and greed. cam says december 8, 2020 at 6:24 am calm down, good news is coming actually just research. trump, lin wood, lindsey powell, rudy, and flynn, and many more, they have been the ones who rigged the election. bigger names to come.. but what’s ironic, the dealings are with china, venezuela, and a few more. but the democratic party are the ones who want to turn our nation into communism. smh…damn, i’m not upset with trumps supporters, it breaks my heart that he let the ones down who actually loved this character. i seen right through him many years ago! anyone who can’t run a business and give their word or a hand shake, how the hell do people think he could run a country. i knew all this evil months ago, i just sit on it… looking forward to 1/20/2021.💙 bob says december 8, 2020 at 11:15 pm i bet you seen right through him. you been had dem thoughtz huh? sven says december 8, 2020 at 9:37 am surprise surprise   name calling in a pro left response. marcus says december 8, 2020 at 2:29 pm the original letter said leftists hate america. that is a filthy stinking lie. it deserves a harsh response. phil says december 8, 2020 at 8:42 pm yes, it does marcus says december 8, 2020 at 2:34 pm the original letter said leftists hate america. that is a filthy lie. it deserved a harsh response. bob says december 8, 2020 at 11:13 pm learn how to properly use which and witch. take a second to proofread before you vomit whatever dumb thoughts come into your mind. the fact you can’t use proper grammar in the age of spell check and autocorrect proves how unintelligent you are. your opinion does not matter and you should stop posting comments everywhere. dave hillman says december 9, 2020 at 12:08 pm read your comment and replace trump with biden or obama and read it. you’re part of the problem, not part of the solution. try rewriting it and expressing yourself in a respectful way, without name calling. try expressing yourself in such a way that you get your point across without being disrespectful. lance barton says december 9, 2020 at 12:15 pm you are unfortunately the byproduct of a individual who has let the communist owned media dictate their knowledge of events happening around them, if you were to actually take the time to investigate for yourself away from social media and other left owned propaganda machines that our president has actually done the most good for this country since reagan was president. as for the puppet biden…we all unfortunately will feel the shadow of the ccp growing over the united states, they have already made statements that it will be back to business as usual now that he is president not trump, thank you to all that cheated the american people and stole the election from us and have showed us that money means more to you than the values of your own country! anonymous says december 12, 2020 at 3:27 pm are you drunk anonymous says december 13, 2020 at 10:15 am sounds like derangement syndrome. shows your mentality you think with your hate before you use logic and one day it will cost you hopefully not your life but it will cost you your freedom asshole! joe bloe says december 4, 2020 at 1:16 pm many of the commenters here have more in common with autocratic nationalists in russia or ethnic religious fundamentalist in iran. who says you define what america is? dave hillman says december 9, 2020 at 12:10 pm try reading your own comment. it’s not exactly something biden or obama would encourage. geez. simon patchin says december 4, 2020 at 7:56 am does it seems like your relationship as ended or about to end? lord zakuza is here to help out with his love spells. to get your ex bf/gf back, email lord zakuza on lordzakuza7 @ gmail. com for he’s a god on earth. dave says december 9, 2020 at 12:10 pm thanks, i needed a good chuckle after reading these comments. chris says december 4, 2020 at 1:48 am worse than a corrupt government is an incompetent one, not least because having the second characteristic does not exclude the first one. pamela smith says december 1, 2020 at 5:19 pm “the leftist media is exploiting the covid 19 pandemic” really? this opinion was stated in may…it is december and there are now 266,000 plus dead from covid. florida just became the third state to have one million cases. still think it is a leftist fallacy? andrew says december 7, 2020 at 9:33 pm its blown out of proportion. nothing gets talked about as much as covid 19 has unless someone is trying to sell it. wake up. anonymous says december 8, 2020 at 1:36 pm yes i do. how come in 100 yrs we have a flu shot that’s only 40% effective but in just ten months we have a covid shot that’s supposedly 95% effective? seems fishy… marcus says december 8, 2020 at 2:36 pm covid and flu are two different diseases; didn’t you get the memo? so i guess you consider all medical science to be a bunch of fishy hoaxes because some diseases have not been cured and others have. bill says december 9, 2020 at 3:25 pm hate to tell you this but that all come from the same type category of viruses. this thing will play out and nothing more that another virus we learn to live with. we will never have an accurate accounting of how many deaths were caused by this virus. because this virus is listed and every death certificate with a number of other viruses and aliments as the cause of death. is it bad yes is it dangerous yes so is the flu and pneumonia. this is about fear and control nothing more. there are high risk groups for sure but the survival rate is above 99%. get over it. . sam osborne says december 1, 2020 at 1:40 pm trump and his supporting prevaricators engage in the destruction of reason by means of the “big lie” that hitler outlined in his autobiography, mein kampf (my struggle). the nefarious perpetration involves casting blames on its victims, making the charges of guilt totally preposterous, and repeating them in so many twisted ways of concoction that it is near impossible to believe that anyone would stoop to such wild assertions. a climate greatly devoid of rhyme and reason needs to be maintained for this “big lie” technique to long endure. in wartime 1943 our office of strategy services commissioned a psychological analysis of hitler that concluded: “his (hitler’s) primary rules: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.” true, the above accounts are old hat from times before donald trump was even born. however, if the hat at all fits atop his head, wise will be the rest of us if we have our thinking caps on well enough to be guided by the gist of words santayana left behind. to wit, those uniformed by or ignorant of history are in danger of reliving the worst of it. eyes opened! says december 8, 2020 at 7:09 am is it not obvious to you? as it is to us, that you and your leftist party are the ones whom you speak of. you obviously cannot see further than your own evil eyes, they appear to us. we can see it! you are the ones trying to convince us of your lies, that the media has been repeating for almost 4 years now loudly, sometimes whispering in our ears, screaming over the web the conspiracies of the orange man who has done so much bad in the past! we are forgiving for one’s past of his sins. we see all the good in him and what lye ahead of us through this man who has changed and reached out to all of us asking forgiveness by giving himself to all of us, for the good of our country and its people! you and your socialist friends in the social media, who have been hiding from the world, plotting your great divide of good and evil. so intensely overwhelming us with deceit, and hate for this man for exp[osing us to the truth of your lies and deceit, twisting and spinning your agenda across our nation! california and new york are owned by evil presents and now want the rest of the globe! that time is here and we see it thanks to trump who has deflected it and why. your letter above tries to force your hat upon our heads. it is fortunate for us your hats will not fit over our halo! our staff is wielded from the integrity of the truth from god and to the good of the lord’s people! your pitchfork is forged from the heat of hellish lies, deceit, hatred, the devil himself holds it over all his minions who spread vermin and disease and all his evil! we see you! the truth will reveal itself to the rest of the world! joy says december 11, 2020 at 8:11 am excellent……my exact thoughts. you could not have said it better. anonymous says december 14, 2020 at 9:30 pm sick burn with your “i know you are but what am i?” reply. tim worstall says november 29, 2020 at 7:49 am relative poverty (let it be read as inequality) was invented to give the left something to whine about now that we really have conclusively solved a real societal problem. anonymous says november 29, 2020 at 4:32 pm socialism equals communism per karl marks . the democrats want to destroy america. the nazi party was a socialist party , and see history , and the puppet joe biden is who they are going to use , and they will get rid of him nazi style. americans be ware. anonymous says november 30, 2020 at 9:59 pm i was well aware ! too bad nobody else cared ! berlioz says december 1, 2020 at 9:10 am this totally bs. democrats want to bring in a safety net for those left behind by unregulated capitalism, poor people, disabled, seniors, etc. the nazi party was extreme right in its extreme nationalism and adherence to the superiority of one race over another, namely the arian. bill says december 1, 2020 at 10:10 am i’m with you and so is president elect mr. don ald trump. eyes opened! says december 8, 2020 at 7:21 am love it! im all in! 4 more years!!! rueben says december 1, 2020 at 1:55 pm nazis were socialist as much as the dprk is democratic. they were the right wing enemies of communism. accept them as your own bubba. vickki says december 2, 2020 at 7:32 pm this propaganda makes me sick! for you all know that your the liars and everything you say is the oposite of truth! how dare you call your selfs christians!.in revolutions: god warns us of the 10 church’s & their hipocracy! thats you all. haruto kaito says december 5, 2020 at 2:02 pm this is so false and ill informed. firstly, it’s karl marx. the nazi party was not a socialist party, they just used the name in their name. they went after socialists and unions first! there is a big difference between communism, socialism and democratic socialism 9which is what we want and what most educated european countries have). educate yourselves. we have socialism for the rich, and unfettered capitalism for the rest. the bilionaires get bailouts, we just want fair wages and healthcare. anonymous says december 5, 2020 at 8:21 pm sorry not true and trump is the problem he doesn’’t care about the people just himself. we’ve had democrats before and the country ran fine.it’s been a mess even before covid.republicans only serve the rich to line their pockets derwin says december 5, 2020 at 8:22 pm sorry not true and trump is the problem he doesn’’t care about the people just himself. we’ve had democrats before and the country ran fine.it’s been a mess even before covid.republicans only serve the rich to line their pockets eyes opened! says december 8, 2020 at 7:17 am please don’t be offended…it’s not your fault, but you’ve been brainwashed! i’m a jewish conservative, i’m as poor as our voting process has become! i didn’t like him either but it ain’t trump…you’ve been fed 4 years of lies! forget the man’s past, look at his accomplishments, which you know nothing about because of the media outlets you listen to! they’ve been lying to you. fact check what he has done before covid and biden/harris have been saying all this hate bs leading up to the election. read more of the other side of the coin. alexa says december 20, 2020 at 10:58 am i think you need covid chinese… because the republicans didn’t bring the virus all over the world, the chinese did. funny how you would rather blame your own american citizens when nothing to do with it then an anti american, hateful country that kept the world from knowing about a virus that could kill so many people. tavares didn’t start at the white house, it started in china. even cnn admitted to that, and even cnn admitted that china kept it from the world and lied about it. anonymous says january 20, 2021 at 10:31 am coming after you proud boy akexa says december 20, 2020 at 11:02 am and the democrats, such as biden’s son who sold his father influence isn’t a rich ingratet who only cares about himself? first of all, the virus wasn’t started by conservatives, it was started to by the chinese. second of all, the reason why there’s a vaccine is because of the biggest republican there is… donald trump. so you can thank your republican president for the vaccine, and thank the chinese government for lying to the world and not exposing the virus a year ago before got out of hand. joe says december 6, 2020 at 9:16 am put your crack pipe down and go play ibn the street moron kenneth mccandless says december 7, 2020 at 12:27 pm i agree the democrat party has gone to hell. most people i know agree. so sad. marcus says december 8, 2020 at 2:33 pm his name was marx, not marks. you are a real einstein, aren’t you? democrats don’t want to destroy america. that is a filthy and stupid lie. they want to save it from the fascist trump and his brownshirt followers. btw, nazis weren’t socialists. you aren’t very smart. you think you have cleverly discovered the word socialist in the party name but you don’t know the history of it. do you think members of the christian democrats in europe are christian? it’s just a name. hitler sent socialists and communists to the gas chambers, just like jews. tim says november 30, 2020 at 1:06 pm you can’t have “conclusively solved” a problem when millions of people are trying to tell you it’s still broken. ricardo says november 30, 2020 at 2:53 pm i think relative property changes due to the standard of living. if you barely make ends meet, well that would be considered poor since their “living” from paycheck to paycheck. this leaves many starving but surviving on the brink. although many who do take it to far, like comparing jeff bezos to a middle class, make it seem as though its a bigger problem than made. bill says december 1, 2020 at 10:12 am i’m with you and so is president elect mr. don ald trump. anonymous says december 7, 2020 at 11:45 pm ha ha lol anonymous says december 7, 2020 at 6:45 am you’re starving? go to a food bank you idiot. stfu says december 6, 2020 at 1:58 am this is written by someone who lives in an incredible safe bubble, or is so brainwashed by years of right wing media he actually thinks his side is patriotic when they are in reality, authoritarian fascists. as trump currently tries to deny the majority of americans their choice for president, because no evidence of massive fraud exists anywhere., you see former military members like flynn asking for sedition on tv. the left is far to weak to do what should be done. round up every one talking about civil war and not following the peaceful transition of powered debt to gitmo before they are sent to a firing squad. anonymous says december 6, 2020 at 2:42 am do you plan to collect social security? do you take the tax breaks for having children knowing full well families you use a rose more only use the schools use emergency services upwards of five times as often as people without kids and yet people that kids have to pay the higher taxes. do you plan on collecting medicare advertisement? if you answered yes to any one if not all three of these questions you are socialist and you know it. put your money where your mouth is and refuse these benefits in the name of capitalism not wanting to let socialism rule the day. how convenient your rules are for everybody else and not you.how very typically for a christian like you. george carson new zealand says november 28, 2020 at 5:49 pm the best way to stop the mess is to petition the lord in the courts of heaven and this means prayer in the holy spirit with praise and thanksgiving and you must plead the blood of calvary and the power of the resurrection and the ascension into glory and now his high priestly work and advocacy in the court of heaven and request that the lord jehovah will urgently allocate and send one legion of his mighty angels and these are real beings about 15 feet tall same as in the holy of holies and they have divine power and they must be requested to help all believers in california and new york to bring down the socialist stranglehold in california and new york and also for them to help all true people who are fighting for righteousness in usa and victory will happen and make sure you pray this with holy hands and beg for the mercy and help of the lord jesus and in his precious name yeshua and always praise him praise him jesus our blessed redeemer sing oh earth his wonderful love proclaim hail hail him highest archangels in glory strength and honour give to his holy name. please note that one legion is about 6000 of these massive beings that cannot fathom why our lord made such a huge sacrifice. ricardo says november 30, 2020 at 2:43 pm the thing is, the reason for america to become one of the greatest countries to exist is due to its openness and acceptance of all no matter that background (obviously besides people who break the laws set in place). if we were to introduce the lord into the way we think, it breaks the foundation this nation was built on. i think we should find something that can unite all no matter what background without bringing in the lord anonymous says december 3, 2020 at 2:57 pm im not a religios person, but i will say that united states was found because of free of religion, that is why the people came here, it is different on central america, sud america and mexico they came to all those places for gold and to see what they can get from them, that it is the difference between us and the others countrys, so, there you now why it’s so much corruption an the other countrys, they want things what people work to have it, to giving to them without any sacrifice, i’m born on another country, but i love sooo much this wonderful country, that i don’t understand why some people try to destroy it. shane wiedewitsch says december 4, 2020 at 1:31 pm christianity and it’s principles are what this country was founded on and why this country became a world leader, now if the people ((democrats) decide we no longer need christianity in our government or our country we can expect a speedy armageddon hippocripocity says december 6, 2020 at 7:17 am the real issue is that these democrats want a loyal tax base to supply their retirement with the payroll taxes of anyone they can get a buck from and illegals would be fine with that or they get, deportation see ya. sonia says december 7, 2020 at 12:04 am do not agree with ricardo god bless you george anonymous says december 4, 2020 at 4:58 pm your completely insane ! nebraska girl says december 5, 2020 at 8:47 am you are on the right track but where do you get these numbers? heaven? we definitely need jesus to be lord over all of us. we also need to believe that we are beautiful and loved by our lord! the heavenly realms are filled with glorious beings who love humanity. and, if they question why god/jesus put the holy spirit in us, they are not heavenly servants but of a different kind. god can save us! god can save the us if he wants to. he knows exactly what we need when we need it! rejoice! rejoice! furfakegod says december 6, 2020 at 1:59 am and this is why america is stupid. anonymous says november 26, 2020 at 9:38 pm “conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: ‘there must be in groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out groups whom the law binds but does not protect.’ there is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time. … as the core proposition of conservatism is indefensible if stated baldly, it has always been surrounded by an elaborate backwash of pseudophilosophy, amounting over time to millions of pages.”  frank wilhoit, commenter at crooked timber katherine says november 27, 2020 at 1:11 pm ridiculous. conservatism refers to conserving the constitution, which protects individual freedom and defines a limited government. the things you describe are due to non conservatives in positions of power. and do not confuse “republican” with “conservative” (perhaps that is why you are confused). carl says november 30, 2020 at 1:08 pm you don’t get to whine about conserving the constitution if you support the efforts of the man child in chief to nullify the results of the election or the executive orders that he slung around at a faster clip than obama anonymous says december 1, 2020 at 1:32 pm obama obviously is all involved communist efforts infiltrating in this country usa answer today when shall we expect to receive god principles for america’s 🇺🇸 🙏 faith and his grace and mercy strive for strengthen the most effective american culture . god bless our usa 🇺🇸 🙏 ♥ within first. marie says december 2, 2020 at 10:01 am our constitution has provisions in it to challenge elections. democrats lying about russia colluding with our president is called a coup, that is unconstitutional! i david says december 2, 2020 at 2:49 pm i agree the child currently on his way out of the white house, via a police car in handcuffs! biggest b buffoon ever . hasn’t stopped talking shit in 4 years.. alexa says december 20, 2020 at 11:07 am i think you have it wrong, i think it’s biden that would be hurled off in handcuffs, and then hillary clinton. unlike the russian hoax, there’s actually proof that biden’s son and biden committed treason by selling their influence to china. so funny how you believe a russian hoax with no proof, but there’s tons of proof about biden, the hypocrisy on the left is absolutely astounding. joseph daniel johnson says november 27, 2020 at 7:54 pm what did you say??? tim says november 30, 2020 at 1:04 pm it used to be that conservatives in this country were the cultured elites, the ones who espoused education and enlightenment while the democrats were the workers and the dispossessed. it’s gone completely 180 now, where a few big words are enough to completely shut down the brain of the average republican’s and send them all running to facebook in search of easy to read conspiracy theories. …conspiracy headlines though, because theories is too hard. david says december 2, 2020 at 2:52 pm best answer yet, keep up the good work man. educated & concerned says december 5, 2020 at 11:39 pm my karma ran over your liberal dogma man. it’s beyond character assassination to near if not already actually taking lives. it’s an attempt to demonize conservatives. hurling insults and shutdown name calling like “racists” or “privileged”. once the legal system has failed 80 million people; 30 million are males of fighting age; after all of this dude; i would be surprised if this major erosion in rights is allowed to go unanswered. communism is an abject failure globally. all of these tactics have been attempted before 2020. it just brings death and misery. look at the cities and people exploited by communist party indoctrinated politicians in the us today. take a look at free speech and now the vote. not ok. not ignorant to point it out. trump just pointed to the monster. that’s why the monster (tech and media giants, politicians, judges, & left democrat sympathizers) are out for blood. listen to the shrill tone. anywhere else and you’d be condemning the behavior. that’s ok; we didn’t ask for this fight. but here it is. let’s see what happens. keep talking. so are we now. linda says december 6, 2020 at 8:15 am tim you’re a sad excuse for a homosapian with reasoning power. history and global state of affairs can’t be toppled. socialism don’t work my brother. billy says december 6, 2020 at 7:05 pm hey tim. time for and update. conservatives don’t use facebook anymore. for god’s sake get current tim. alexa says december 20, 2020 at 11:11 am funny, because i used to be a democrat and now i’m a republican, because i see the absolute corruption & hypocrisy of the left. i see a liberal party who has turned into lying, cheating, hypocritical bullies that they accuse trump of. chris moler says december 2, 2020 at 10:36 pm wow you sound like a attorney with all your verbiage, probably a liberal brainwashed by your college professors! free bird says november 23, 2020 at 1:50 pm you forgot to mention how its the left who doesn’t want god in schools or anywhere in our culture for that matter, you worship government! your party is also the party supporting the violent mobs blm, antifa burning cities and attacking people that have a different ideology then them as a matter of fact they are founded and funded by the left. hitler attacked bis political opossition just as you anti freedom nuts are doing. i was a democrat when they were a party of the american people but the democrat party is gone now it is the atiamerican radical communist party. you are blind sheep following each other to the slaughter house. your not the party of truth, and good you claim to be you are the party of lies and violence to anyone who is different. america is about liberty and we the people will never let you steel that from us! pat clemens says november 24, 2020 at 6:09 pm god bless america. i agree 100 percent. now what are we going to do about it. what do you want the republicans to do about it. go into streets and burn down the towns like the left did! it like living in naiz germanys with phones. because the news is not reporting the truth . patricia clemens says november 24, 2020 at 6:10 pm well i waiting lisa says november 28, 2020 at 8:20 pm the media has gotten immensely worse. as long as their narrative is pushed, they’re happy with their own lies. anonymous says november 29, 2020 at 12:03 am every vile piece of infested disease that comes off of your fingertips is another example right winged hypocrisy,accusations that are faceless and unsupported by any credible evidence. that has been vomited out of right wing propaganda. at first the lies are so ludicrous and insane you can’t help but laugh and then a wave of depression takes over. because of the number of americans that are brainwashed by republican crap and you just ate it like it was southern chicken fried steak with. gravy gravy. you talk about the left wanting to be governed by socialistix5 mll? frank bosch says november 30, 2020 at 2:44 am …i concur. but, we specks of blue who still desire what’s good for all, what works for all are still fairly outnumbered by the right, who feels very disenfranchised, apparently. nothing wrong with medicine for all that cares for all, for example. and, i don’t consider countries like sweden or norway to be marxist or, godless because they believe in socialized medicine. and, our founding fathers believed in god but separated church from state for a good reason: inept rulers that were said to be “ordained” by god should not have to be tolerated hence, the beginning rumbles of what became our nation. if they felt strongly enough to emphasize that, then it was meant as a safety “for all.” alexa says december 20, 2020 at 11:19 am i can see why you are anonymous.. why don’t you try turning off the liberal media and start thinking for yourself? you accuse the conservatives of being spoon fed when most of the media is left biased and liberal, you have all of the media and all of hollywood on your side. so who’s being food fed? i think you are the one being spoon fed… you are the one who believes everything that you see on tv. and maybe try taking a xanax or doing a meditation before you post, because there’s no need to get so angry and get your knickers in such a twist just because someone disagrees with your liberal bs. jimmimac says november 24, 2020 at 11:07 pm they did steal ot this november 2020 with 15 million dead people voting for the traitor in the white house china joe katherine says november 27, 2020 at 1:12 pm he is not in the white house yet. election happens 12/14. join million+ march in dc on dec 12! anonymous says december 6, 2020 at 6:02 pm why don’t you march out here so i can fucking aim something. at you alexa says december 20, 2020 at 11:22 am oh, such a tough armchair warrior. we’re so afraid of you anonymous… 🤣😅😂 ernest kearney says november 30, 2020 at 3:08 am you really need to get back on you meds. alexa says december 20, 2020 at 11:24 am exactly. anonymous didn’t take their lithium this morning. zipp says november 30, 2020 at 12:58 pm it’s 15 million now?! that’s amazing. if biden pulled of a conspiracy of this magnitude, involving millions of people in numerous states, including thousands of republicans and trump appointees, he really would be the greatest chief executive this country has ever known! susan maners says december 4, 2020 at 8:53 pm you know as well as the rest of us, joe biden is not in charge here. they told him he would win and they cheated like hell to do it. the democrats are anti american. donald trump is our president. anonymous says december 2, 2020 at 12:17 am just another uneducated trump supporter who can’t provide proof the election was stolen. provide us with solid proof or shut the hell up! anonymous too says december 9, 2020 at 3:19 am it’s up to the polling places caught on video and with sworn affidavits from hundreds of people witnessing fraud to provide proof that it was a fair election. sheep like you are willing to sacrifice your right to vote because you think this went your way this time. i am sure you didn’t have a problem when gore challenged after the election he was in. i wouldn’t want any of your “education” if you don’t think the people have a right to ensure their right to vote is upheld. robert cates says november 25, 2020 at 1:31 am well said freebird. ggves me hope reading this and realizing just how ma y we have. all i hear about in my busy schedule is crap the news spits out and its pathetic. doug holum says november 25, 2020 at 5:03 pm 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸they have awakened a sleeping giant… the people that love this country and our freedom anonymous says november 26, 2020 at 5:58 pm all the people who support the left are nothing but the lowest form of life on our earth they will never take over as long we have god on our side and we all stick togather and pray for god to lead and guide us each and every day. i pray every day for god to rid us of this party of people and he will just as he has from the beginning of time he will lead his people out of the hands of the injustice and keep his people free of the ungodly may god bless america and keep it under his watch melinda woods says december 1, 2020 at 2:16 am are you ever off the rails. may i ask the writer who seems have the ability to take the heat off the republicans why do the righties protect a sociopath who if given more time in office will become an authoritarian dictator? wake up you people in your maga hats he has actually said out loud he finds you people disgusting. he is not what he appears and left up to him none of us would have rights greg says december 2, 2020 at 12:19 am so let me get this straight; you’re a god fearing republican who prays to god to wipe out anyone who isn’t a republican? my god are you an ignorant fool. pandora says december 4, 2020 at 3:48 pm its beyond hurtful to see someone who says they speak for the lord talking about praying to be rid of a party of people. praying for genocide. the hate and or lies you must have consumed to get there is astounding. sending you and yours love and i hope you’ll take my words into consideration and really mull them over before deciding or responding. consider jesus’ message and the fact that he spent time with the lowest in society. do you really think he would be on the side of the rich folk who are acting out of fear and hate? if we open our hearts and look say reality, instead of just looking for what confirms what we already think and have been taught we wouldn’t want to hate any groups just because they are what they are. each person is unique and can’t be labelled and put into a box. this entire world is too nuanced to fit into boxes. consider that propaganda is only useful and good if there seems to be some truth to it. no one is trying to take over and change our country into anything but a capitalist democracy. oh, except for donald trump. donald trump wants whats going to be best for him without exception. you have to know that to be true. that means that he will and has chosen himself over this country. he would throw away our entire democracy if it meant avoiding jail. he’d probably throw it away for less. consider that nazi germany didn’t start out the way it ended. it’s a gradual rise. it doesn’t look like tanks and military. it looks familiar to that specific country. stalinism, hitlerism, trumpism. in america, it looks like free press (but a discredited media) and baseball caps. if you watch the video at the bottom it will make even more sense. on the other hand, there’s no evidence whatsoever that dems are trying to take over the country with socialism. this is the response to social change (in this case black lives matter) that happens every single time in american history. look it up for yourself. it happens bc our country is a push and pull between conservatism and progressivism but this pull is pulling much harder than it’s supposed to to make sure that our country doesn’t go any further left than the rich people benefiting want it to go. joe biden is right wing by the standards of most other countries and he sure as heck ain’t the one who is going to make any big social changes that scare you. same goes for kamala. don’t do what people tell you to do, think about what’s right for yourself. do your research with ab open truth seeking mind instead of confirming the biases you already have. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/3317862001 fact check about dems

our problems and pretend they don’t exist, we’ll just end up doing more work later on. bertha m rios says november 27, 2020 at 1:33 pm i agree 100% the democrats are corrupt and manipulate and steal the truth. keeping people ignorant is their best weapon. biden will continue to plagerize, cheat, and steal. but what is worst, he is in bed with china, ukraine and anyone willing to give him a kick back. he will always put his pockets first, the world second, and america last. anonymous says november 30, 2020 at 10:21 pm sounds exactly like draft dodger donny fuck trump says december 2, 2020 at 12:21 am you people (uneducated trump supporters) really can’t think for yourselves. several reports came out just today that trump is offering pardons for his cronies in exchange for cash. god i wish you people would actually read or watch something other than fox news. fucking morons   all of you. joe arsanis says december 6, 2020 at 8:25 am the lying, criminals of the dummycrat party will do whatever it takes to create chaos, including killing of innocent people. they are vicious, sick mother fuckers, most are mentally ill. morons like whoooopi &, prick deniro and other sick dummycrats. trump has helped lifted this country from the sick homo skinny black guy and white trash above the law hillary rotten clinton’s from the damage they have created, including lying to military survivors of dead soldiers, obama has never really even helped the black community, however he has helped muslims get hired for government positions and on and on, and on. he has placed illegal immigrants over the military and homeless people. hey moron clean up your own country before playing santa claus so you can be elected again. haa haa, oregon has released several isis terrorist, yes the liberals have lost there minds, soon they will lose there heads. biden president will be another disaster. he will not last 1 yr., however the other will fulfill his position, then win reelection, and then run for office again because she is black, liberal. any average minded individuals know the dummycrats have lied, killed, destroyed the country to now seeking a socialist government that has never, ever been successful in other countries. i can write for hours but it is difficult to converse with: mentally ill, dopers, alcoholics, democrats, just not going to happpen. joseph daniel johnson says november 27, 2020 at 8:04 pm what did you say??? dorrene shake says november 27, 2020 at 10:54 pm the christian’s i’ve been interfacing with are acting like a cross between the jim jones cult, & kim jong un’s who worship trump who will leave them broke because if he stayed in past dec 2020 he’d be stashing all our savings in social security, medicare in his off shore account in cypress…….i suggest you not spend another penny on amazon because he profited $%$$$ billions of we the peoples money. time to.place liens on mcconnell & repugs for that horror of a contract. go old fashion with tar/feather/hay & pitchforks!!!! from trum jay says november 28, 2020 at 12:56 am you couldn’t have said it any better !! 👍🏼👌 pandora says december 4, 2020 at 3:33 pm sending you and yours love and i hope you’ll take

the ideal form of government. if anyone thinks so, just wait and see because when it does happen they should be prepared to lose their homes they will be told that they have to share the home with other families, the homes they worked so hard to get, the american dream . wait until everyone gets the same wage, who then would want to go to school to become a doctor when the pay would only be about a dollar more than the cashier at the grocery store. how about waiting in line for hours to get a potato. i wonder how all of the elite millionaires, the actors, football and basketball players would feel if they no longer had their multi million dollar mansions, and that they will be earning the same wage. how would they feel when the tanks roll over them or their loved ones who dare to speak out. but hey we get socialized medicine. anonymous says december 7, 2020 at 8:44 am well said & amen edith hellyer felker says november 23, 2020 at 1:17 pm i know why the left hates trump   some of these people are my extended family members who abducted me and tortured me and some of my beloved family members. trump is draining the swamp and they are the swamp. if trump is out, these sadistic and satanic people are the richest people in the world and control every move. they screamed that what they really want is a lesbian utopia which hillary promised them. ask them what they mean by a lesbian utopia and mean is a good word for that. i have been lesbian raped because i refuse to express interest and psycho/sexually tortured and tortured in more ways than that. rob k says november 25, 2020 at 5:15 am it shocks me to see how stupid trump supporters really are…..how have you never asked yourself why is it every time something doesn’t go trumps way its always a conspiracy??? how is it you all spew these dumb conspiracy theories that are easily proven wrong with 3 minutes of research on a computer???? you all said you were tired of lying politicians and thats why you support trump and yet this man has lied more than the last 10 presidents combined, proven lies that are also easy to research and see they are lies. the fact is that you weirdos, your weirdo soon to be ex president are all the problem, your all anti american. you blindly support a man we all know used a sworn enemy of the us to get elected the first time by having russia pump all social media outlets with fake conspiracy theory bullshit. how can you support a man who has seen more dead americans on his watch than the last 5 major us wars combined??? katherine says november 27, 2020 at 1:24 pm you have it 180 degrees wrong. please realize that your media are censored. and cnn, nyt, msnbc caught in proven lies. google is censoring searches (provable). there is big money influencing social media..they are public for profit corporations:they colluded to interfere in the election. lots of corporate and foreign money involved in our media. you must think independently, ask your own questions, and seek truth creatively. look for live feed events not reports of what happened, or opinions. ask yourself why are they covering what they re, and what are they not talking about that is important. do not be chummed by the talking points of the day. ditch twitter and get on parler and gab. also there is only one party that refuses to arrest people for beating up, harassing, terrorizing, assaulting, censoring political opponents, that demonstrably institute laws and advocate for violating at least the first, second, fourth, fifth, and sixth amendments in the bill of rights. doug jaynes says november 29, 2020 at 8:06 pm mainstream media has become opinionated and not doing job of journalism, reporting all the facts unbiased. james dean hart says november 30, 2020 at 8:20 pm just follow the money, it will tell you who is doing what and for how much! dump trump says december 2, 2020 at 12:24 am funny   you described fox news. moron. bluedolphin14 says december 3, 2020 at 5:09 pm parler invited right wingers onto their site because all of the other sites have finally started to block fake news and conspiracy theories. you are not enlightened by watching fox news and disparaging the others. think about it! why is fox the only station that claims the truth and all of the others are considered fake news? it is exactly the opposite. fox is the one on the fringes reporting opinion as fact and conspiracies as news daily! now all of you wingers have been pushed to parler to continue your conspiracy theories because other platforms are losing their reputations at the hands of people like you. rightists are wrong and a complete bore with their conspiracies and their king who has no clothes. learn some critical thinking!…then again… critical thinking, religion and the right hardly go hand in hand. andrew says december 5, 2020 at 2:54 am you don’t need the mainstream news outlets, and the filtering google may or may not do is irrelevant: you can witness trump’s, the republicans’, and fox news’ lies and propaganda in photos, text, and video! benjamin h. says november 27, 2020 at 3:08 pm it’s clear that you actually don’t do any research. because actual fact information given to everyone here and world wide would show exactly the kind of man you voted for to be true. he’s the true liar, has been in office for over 46 years and done absolutely nothing to better our beautiful country, and has lied to all of us about his dealings with russia and his son. that’s facts and i can gladly link you the information if you’d like to do some reading. i’m guessing you also support slaughtering unborn babies too? the left is no longer a “democratic representative” they are indeed a democratic socialist party. america has never been a democracy, we are a conservative republic, and always will be because people like you have never been able to succeed in keeping real american people down. there is a reason we’ve been successful in defeating so much evil in this world. because united we are a force that will not be beaten. as long as one man or one woman has the true american spirit, america will not rest until liberty is safe. mike says november 27, 2020 at 4:41 pm you definitely have already been programmed and brainwashed and now your anti america and follow the democratic party of satan, may god help you if he chooses to do so anonymous says december 6, 2020 at 6:06 pm we are on our way out, they’re going to take us over, we don’t deserve to have a free country no more, there’s too many americans that need to be taken care of properly and put in camps! the troublemakers, they are not smart enough to have facebook they shouldn’t even be on an iphone anonymous says november 27, 2020 at 9:00 pm i feel sorry for your strong ideology based on what you wrote, it demostrates that you have been brained washer by the mainstream media, in additiona bunch of politicians, who actually doesn’t do much for their people. you are a fool to believe what your democartic leaders are delivering to you, they’re not there for you, only for themselves because its a great business opportunity to make money. unfortunately, what they are teaching is encouragin violence amongst communities. this moment and time is a great example in today’s society. i am an immigrant who came to this country 32 years ago, and i am grateful for every bit this wonderful place has to offer, i didn’t get it easy in the begining, but i didn’t give up, i kept going. after reading your comment, for a moment, i got angry based on what you wrote, since i am real aficana i felt the urge to write something back to you, just letting you know that, attacking human being is not okay, next time think twice before you decide to write such a comment on the internet, people actually reads them, it’s quite alright to express our opinions, but with respect to others. finally, i trully wish you the best, it doesn’t matter what party you belong to, just be more careful, and aware of your word, even amongst your peers. hopefully one day you will see light with your own eyes, democratic, republicans, or independent. soicialism is defectively not the way we should be living in the 21 st century. great example read what is happening in venezuela best of luck to you. linda says december 6, 2020 at 7:53 am hey you call it a conspiracy but it really is a caldron of vile people. sauros, his ilk, big tech , ceos of big companies( most of which are foreigners and have no allegiance to america or it’s history) misled people like you that are all stirring in the swamp. down the drain you go! dennis richardson says november 18, 2020 at 12:55 am i agree with you and not with my pastor. he say that both parties are not synonymous with christianity. i say yes the republican party is not synonymous with christianity but the democratic party is synonymous with satanism. america was not founded a perfect nation but democrats are unbelievably dishonest, child murderers, general criminals, slave owners, the kkk were demos, the demos were/are warmongers, homosexuals and political criminals. they have become rich being bribed. they have cheated in elections for decades. my pastor is being deceived by tim keller, some clergy say he is a marxist. i think that tim keller is a marxist. anonymous says november 18, 2020 at 2:50 pm so didn’t hitler shane_toups says november 19, 2020 at 7:57 pm oh look  a libeled liberal lisa says november 28, 2020 at 8:26 pm the liberal are very clever with the way they work. they use the label to proclaim how they can in no way be racist. after all, they are liberal right? most liberals are atheists and want to take our black americans (the ones who are the backbone of our religion in this country) and convince them that their skin color is now their religion and to hate all republicans. they’ve done a fairly good job of doing this. anonymous says november 18, 2020 at 4:40 pm wow thank you leopold novak says november 21, 2020 at 7:50 am amazing how we are controlled by the mass mainstream media left and uncontrollable that will take over your freedoms your rights and the usa.. i hope the democrats we’ll take all the billionaires 2 the clock and make them pay for everything free in the usa! james says november 26, 2020 at 2:35 pm nice idea, but you could take all the money the rich and elites have, and it wouldn’t do squat to the bill these marxists are preparing for the u.s. say goodbye opwhat really sucks, is what theyre going to do to our posterity. btw, did you not notice that most ridiculously rich folks support the marxists? hmmm? now why do you think that is? radicals are fooled again. joseph daniel johnson says november 27, 2020 at 8:06 pm that is completely right. anonaymous says november 26, 2020 at 1:04 am i wonder what communist controls this site ??? dave smith says november 19, 2020 at 5:14 am here we go profiling people into demons satan and all the other bad stuff just cause you’re a democrat you’re a fucking asshole you don’t have that much education obviously. covid 19 is the way the lord is punishing people for reaping the land and all the crimes they committed against each other it’s a shame all for what money . ben says november 22, 2020 at 2:09 pm dave is delusional…don’t be like dave.. shane says november 22, 2020 at 4:02 pm i agree god is punishing the world with covid and disasters but god is just spanking and i dont it to u about us lighty right now wait until he busts out belt it will make covid look like childs play. and the governments of the world democrats and repulicans will have to face our lord . i do beleive that the democrats practice satanism and they murder and torture innocent children so they can get high on there adrenolin its called adreno chrome and its become so big amongst the celeberties and politicians that they can no longer hide it. kevin stacey is one of the worst and tom hanks and bill gates and the list goes on. its incomprehsable what these poor children have to go through to appease the democratic party so they can get high off there adreno gland there needs to be the biggest military covert operation to erraticate and dispose of these murderers ,wipe them off the face of the planet. the reson why they have done nothing to stop this is because whoever they are is all part of this disgusting crime. i pray that this will all come to a end soon because our law system is either involed or turning there heads and looking away trip says november 24, 2020 at 1:37 pm please rewright this i want to know what you had to say im intreaged anonymous says november 24, 2020 at 1:38 pm shane please rewright what you wrote its all scrambled up james says november 26, 2020 at 2:37 pm so god is of chinese decent? or is he just using them? diane says november 29, 2020 at 8:59 am you are extremely paranoid and delusional!! please get yourself committed to a good mental health facility!! asap, for the good of society!! linda says december 6, 2020 at 7:58 am don’t be judge and jury. time for your medication diane. anonymous says november 24, 2020 at 3:43 am your a demon democrats cheater and styled socialistic asx professorpaul says november 27, 2020 at 7:27 am demon crats the name says it all.. they are demons from hell .the gates of hell broke open 10 years ago. they are possessed and dont even know it. diane says november 29, 2020 at 9:08 am i’m truly convinced after reading the right conservative postings, that are similar to yours, that all of the funding that’s been cut out of the mental heath system needs to be reinstated for the trumper’s immediately! they are all delusional and paranoid nuts of society.!! the hate they spew is sick and mentally ill. they are nothing short of pure crazy nonsense! no normal mind thinks their way. they all need to be medicated. ernest kearney says november 30, 2020 at 3:14 am that should be “you’re.” apparently you failed in english as well as so much else. anonymous says november 19, 2020 at 7:01 pm democrats are so brainwashed by the communists in this country they have now divided this country you want this go to fricken russia and live there you stupid democrats. you’ve voted for a perverted oldman that fondles little girls and a women that supports full term abortion what is wrong with you. democrats. anonymous says november 24, 2020 at 3:44 am i agree not to mention china backs all this chaos and job closures ralph says november 24, 2020 at 1:48 pm i hate to say this but there is a strong ugliness to both parties. there has never been one honest politician since the creation.i swear all you people are completely blinded by stupidity. there is not one single politician i would vote for, even i was given all the money in the world. as far as one party smarter then the other party is all a myth smartness is like an opinion and everyone has one. everyone just quit the arguing and try to show who is smarter it only makes both parties even look dumber joseph daniel johnson says november 27, 2020 at 8:07 pm yes sir. evans says december 6, 2020 at 10:19 am yeah i agree, most politicians are corrupt and up to no good. trumps not a politician diane says november 29, 2020 at 9:23 am please seek help for your paranoid, delusional state of mind! you are seriously mentally ill !! your rambling sounds insane. and as far as russia goes. trump thinks like, and admires all the dictators and tried turning this country into a dictatorship!! open your eyes!! put down the glass of kool  aid! linda says december 6, 2020 at 8:04 am hi diane. i’m sorry you think the way you do.. i’m curious. how long have you and your family lived in this country? i’m doing a survey? anonymous says november 20, 2020 at 11:54 am trump’s a autocratic becoming a dictator! you’re chosen one will burn in hell! we all know he sold his soul a long time ago! btw trump was a democrat! lisa says november 22, 2020 at 2:33 pm yes, he was a democrat, as were so many of us and as we found god, we left the democratic party. i’m ashamed that it took me so long to find god because i would have been a better wife, a better mom, a better friend, and quite simply a better human being had it not taken me so long to find god. not all democrats are socialists but all socialists are democrats. not all democrats are atheists, and some democrats align very much with republican views. god is about to wake all of us. he’s very angry about corruption and millions of babies being slaughtered and the hate and division of our nation. we will all feel his wrath, democrats and republicans. it’s a time for great prayer and great thought, not hate. it’s been enough already. sam r says november 25, 2020 at 8:01 am that is exactly right lisa.. very well written and the truth. that is what we stand for.. mari says november 25, 2020 at 6:49 pm lisa, do you really think that banning and criminalizing abortion will stop women from having them, including married women who cannot afford more kids but their contraception failed? history teaches us a different lesson. women will seek abortiins no matter how stiff the penalty for doing so. anonymous says november 23, 2020 at 12:24 pm the best way to know your evil enemy is to watch them close from within tumbleeed says november 25, 2020 at 10:39 am that simple statement is a book in writing. “the art of war”” chinese. centuries old. sam r says november 25, 2020 at 7:57 am this is about the commie liberal vs the constitutional conservatives in this country. right now and yes there is a war brewing. joe biden will have his opportunity to show us what he has. for the ones of us that give men a chance we will give him that chance. if we don’t like him we will not dwell on it and burn down property. because we get up and go to work every day to provide for our families and spend time with them on weekends and attend church of our choice on sunday. we also love out neighbors.. nicholas tsimekles says november 25, 2020 at 4:02 pm act like an adult , stand up , anonymous is a whimpy . if someone threatens you then it should empower you,, seems we live in whimpy society. my name is nicholas tsimekles, usmc veteran and i am writing this post. anonymous says november 27, 2020 at 3:42 am now that was a “less than intelligent” remark. you must have been schooled in a liberal district, funded by liberals. martha says november 20, 2020 at 12:12 pm hey dennis, when you say things like “the democratic party is synonymous with satanism” and they are “unbelievably dishonest, child murderers, general criminals” that is dehumanizing and literally demonizing language. when we think other people are less than human, we are more likely to act violently towards them and allow others to act violently towards them. dehumanization is the seed of violence. no matter your political party, we are all americans with sons and daughters, uncles, mother, fathers and families that we love. we all deserve to be treated like human beings that are just trying to do the best for the world that we can. i challenge you to try to connect with a democrat and find some common ground. maybe you have a family member that moved away and is now “liberal.” maybe it is a neighbor. but i promise you that you have a lot more in common with them then you think you do. let’s not tear apart the country based on who we think the other side is. go find out!. i think you would be surprised what you learn. anonymous says november 22, 2020 at 7:16 pm beautifully said martha. anonymous says november 26, 2020 at 1:01 am u are weak and will cause our great nation to fall stay weak and meek bryan terrell says november 23, 2020 at 9:24 pm martha, it’s obvious in your comment that when you talk about dehumanizing people this is your way of masking your true guilt and playing as if you believe in fairness.. i see through the mask and so does most people who are fed up with the lefts hypocrisy.. smoke that! roger says november 25, 2020 at 6:54 pm dude, i’m also fed up with the right’s hipocrisy and selective naiivite. smoke that! bryan terrell says november 23, 2020 at 9:24 pm martha, it’s obvious in your comment that when you talk about dehumanizing people this is your way of masking your true guilt and playing as if you believe in fairness.. i see through the mask and so does most people who are fed up with the lefts hypocrisy.. smoke that! anonymous says november 24, 2020 at 3:51 am i love you i could not have said it better. we need to be smart look up truths it’s all online even the voting machines that cheat liz says november 24, 2020 at 7:41 am thank you martha for your words of wisdom in what has become a increasingly divided country! i think if we all walk across the street and talk to our neighbors, we will find that we have more in common than we don’t! our current leader has used decisive words to divide america’s people since he began campaigning. his tactics have only damaged this country. remember the saying, “ a house divided against itself cannot stand”. it’s time to stop looking at someone with a different view than ourselves as an enemy and realize that we are all very different but also very much alike. jim p. says november 24, 2020 at 11:38 am martha, dennis speaks the truth, the fact in the matter is the democratic party and it’s followers are so wrapped up in evil and the love of satan and all things immoral, that you folks don’t even see it. anyone with common sense knows killing a baby is wrong, morally and spiritually, and disguise the act under the guise of “choice” choice is wearing a red dress or a green one, choice is wearing heels or flats, killing an unwanted baby, because of the inconvenience it causes is murder & i assure you that every one of those little babies sacrificed makes satan smile. the whole foundation of liberalism is founded on hatred and lies, hatred for this country ( because it was founded on judeo christian principles), hatred of god’s devine order ( feminism) ( homosexuality), everything the democratic party is promoting is our of line with god’s word. the democratic party doesn’t even want the name of god uttered anymore if they can get away with it. these so called ” neighbors” have been anything but ” neighborly” the past four years, i cannot count the times i have been flipped off by democrats for proudly displaying a trump flag and american flag on my truck, it is your “group” that has torn this country apart & “go find out” is nonsense, ask any god fearing trump supporter, i can assure you we already know. we have nothing in common with anyone who despises us for taking a stand for our country and our president, who gleefully exterminates children and then has the nerve to lecture us on morality. so yes it is true that the democratic party is absolutely synonymous with satanism, that is as close to a confirmed fact as i can think of, it’s rather ironic that you would use the example of a “seed of violence” as if antifa and blm haven’t been busy antagonizing and accosting conservatives just because our worldview doesn’t align with theirs. so i think no conservative is interested in accepting any such challenge, but instead perhaps you should take up the challenge of finding out what you represent is really all about, marxism and socialism only lead to misery for all, look up karl marx and you’ll find his contempt for god is quite evident anonymous says march 9, 2022 at 10:28 pm ok homophobe ted says november 24, 2020 at 11:21 pm you don’t like being called out “so what” there isn’t room for both ideologies within our borders. but there are other counties whos ideology more closely aligned with democrat control freaks. all we conservatives want is for you to leave us the @%&# alone. stop trying to force me to eat tofu and subsidize abortion. don’t want babies here’s a novel idea don’t have sex or at least go get some contraceptives at the local store and pay for it yourself. i have nothing in common. with my liberal relatives they can’t survive without a supermarket and they can’t fix anything all they know how to do is pass and moan about its not fair that they’re not millionaires. this life isn’t fair none of us deserves jack$#!+. this earthly life is a test to see how you will choose its purposely designed to be unfair to see how you react when the chips are down and marxists are failing wholesale they are choosing the devil’s glitz and in the end will lose it all. wasted breath says november 26, 2020 at 6:26 am martha, i praise your attempt to be a voice of reason on here and stand with you in your call for a collective deep breath, step back followed by nuanced critical thinking unhindered by heated emotion. this being said, at a certain point, you have to understand there is a small portion of the country who are beyond trying to help. these types of folks have been living in parts of the country where not only is the news feed they tune into an echo chamber of hilarious conspiracy theories, they don’t have contact with anyone in their social circle or community who carries a different point of view regarding politics or life in general. these are the people who would believe in a heartbeat if oan reported nancy pelosi has been discovered to be a lizard reptilian halfbreed who has infiltrated american politics to gain enough power to steal babies for her reptile comrades to rape and bbq as weekend entertainment. simultaneously, when every news outlet (their former fox news favorite turned enemy of the state) reports that trump has lost both the electoral college and the popular vote, they’ll yell rigged, stolen election till purple in the face long after anyone has stopped listening. the most interesting thing about somehow stumbling on this insane website, is it seems that the cream of the crop of crazies all gather here to post endless steams of certifiably mentally unhinged pseudo religious blathering along with not so stumble undertones of partisan civil war excitement. what these people don’t and will never understand is that there’s a majority of the country who voted for biden (i voted third party, but same difference being from blue state…) only because they did not want to see trump really inflict irreversible damage to the country if given another term. that is a far stretch from saying that any of these dem voters were or are the very least bit optimistic about sleepy joe. the funniest thing is conservative news trying to pass biden off as a progressive?!!! this is the same man who wrote the 94 crime bill, which made the “tough on crime” rhetoric become so ramped up in decades to come causing non violent “soft” drug possession arrests to carry life in prison if it was the defendants third strike and was in a school zone making it a felony. so yeah, the guy that put non distribution weed possession defendants with 3 strikes away for life with no parole taking sentencing discretion away from judges and adding a turbo charger dual hemi to the growth of the prison industrial complex is simultaneously the socialist, communist, far left progressive all the right leaning conservatives need to fear! hahahhaahhaha what in the hell are you people buying into?!? why don’t you actually use your minds and do a bit of research about what you go posting online and stirring up all your craziness. like the majority of others, i don’t trust the right and equally don’t trust the left. washington is a swamp, filled with democrats, republicans and every other coach roach in the pockets of lobbyists special interest groups. so, if you guys on here form a jesus militia or whatever the f@“k, people march on the capital, not on your fellow civilians! the average democrat says november 20, 2020 at 1:11 pm wow… it’s very interesting to see how democrats went from being your neighbors, coworkers, friends, teachers, doctors, fellow members of your congregations   into suddenly being what you believe to be your enemy and all of these horrible things that you are claiming. so you are claiming, no factual evidence by the way, that half of the country, myself, my family, and friends are: “satanists, unbelievably dishonest, child murderers, general criminals, slave owners, members of the kkk (who all supported trump by the way), warmongers, homosexuals, and political criminals. they have become rich being bribed. they have cheated in elections for decades.” that’s very interesting since all of the democrats that i know are well educated professionals (doctors, medical specialists, researchers, program managers/directors, business owners, attorneys, professors, managers, pastors of christian churches, social workers, therapists, etc. democrats hold to the idea that it’s the american government’s job to protect it’s citizens, environment, and land (including everything over it, on it, in it, and under it, including bodies of water) from harm through governing using programs, rules, and regulations. traditional democratic party platform supports: equal rights, human rights, pro strong middle class, pro choice (which includes the choice to have the child), pro education, pro diversity, wants immigration reform, wants new gun laws to get guns out of the hands of children, mentally ill, known domestic and sexual assailants, and gangs. pro science, fight climate change, protect the environment, protect the american people from corporations and products that could harm humans, animals, or the environment. pro facts, facts over religious beliefs, freedom of the press, get money out of government. helping those who have fallen on hard times, giving them a helping hand, a temporary boost to get them back on their feet. those who can physically and mentally work need to work. no handouts for lazy people! helping those who are too sick to work. taking care of our elderly, sick/dying, and children.. if you read your bible (the new testament), all of those things that democrats believe in are all based on christianity and what the bible actually says that good christians should be. so here are the questions that i pose to you and others who share your beliefs… who wants you to believe those lies about democrats? who holds the wealth, the power, and controls all american media? certainly not the average, normal, daily democrat who lives in your neighborhoods. it’s the wealthiest 1%. the super wealthiest people, and they are 50% republicans and 50% democrats. we live in a plutocracy where the wealthiest 1% are controlling everything. so, my next question to you is why. why would they pit americans against each other? because the wealth inequality has become unbalanced in the united states. because they don’t want to lose all of their wealth. we’re talking about the people who have multiple houses and yachts. but, you don’t have to believe me. listen to a billionaire who is one of the top 1% of the wealthiest americans tell you for himself: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/06/the pitchforks are coming for us plutocrats 108014 https://www.ted.com/talks/nick_hanauer_beware_fellow_plutocrats_the_pitchforks_are_coming/up next?language=en https://pitchforkeconomics.com/ tn says november 22, 2020 at 6:26 pm thank you for explaining this so eloquently. trumps “us vs them” dangerous rhetoric has poisoned the minds of so many, including this writer obviously. jim p says november 24, 2020 at 11:46 am that rhetoric came from the likes of maxine waters (d) california, if you’ll remember, she is the one who uttered those famous words that stoked all the division and got many of my conservative friends attacked for simply wearing a red hat ” when you see them in public, get in their faces, in the restaurant, in the store, push back, let them know they’re not welcome” we have been under attack from you leftist ever since, so it is your leaders, your kind that started the poisonous rhetoric and made it physical, so per usual the typical liberal response is to blame others for what you are doing. indeed, the democratic party has caused every bit of division we have now and it will continue for the foreseeable future ben says november 23, 2020 at 9:21 pm 🙂 ben says november 23, 2020 at 9:30 pm thank you. i am glad you said that. most republicans i know all want those things too. i think 99% of the people want that. it’s just a 1% that does not. divide and rule tim says november 23, 2020 at 9:32 pm there is a mountain of evidence.. you like to think your smart enough to write this long comment and convince good people the left isn’t the evil part of all this.. not working at all so save it.. your mask is transparent and your to stupid to notice.. your simply putting a wig on a pig.. it’s still a pig? diane says november 29, 2020 at 8:55 am talk about a mask being transparent. your are paranoid and delusional. do us all a favor and get some help! bryan says november 23, 2020 at 9:33 pm there is a mountain of evidence.. you like to think your smart enough to write this long comment and convince good people the left isn’t the evil part of all this.. not working at all so save it.. your mask is transparent and your to stupid to notice.. your simply putting a wig on a pig.. it’s still a pig? anonymous says november 24, 2020 at 3:47 am democrats paid for riots for businesses to be shut down and for mothers to go nuts stuck at home no work no food no money 5 kids n a husband liz says november 24, 2020 at 7:50 am to the average democrat: thank you! very well said! nicholas tsimekles says november 25, 2020 at 4:11 pm in the end we all will be on our face in front of god, racism, antifa, pro abortion reparations, the desire to create a utopian society without god will be put to the test. this is beyond politics, and the quest of power, we will given an account of our lives, biden or trump will not be there to offer support, nor defend us. what will we decide?? anonymous says november 20, 2020 at 6:15 pm donald trump’s republican party are the devil that the bible speak of. god please help them anonymously says november 22, 2020 at 5:00 pm god loves mankind, all of us! he gave us rules to live by called the 10 commandments. dumbocrats do everything in their power to eliminate god from everything in this country. take homosexuality for instance, he calls it an abomination, where as it’s a rallying cry for dumborats. though shall not commit murder, well dumborats, what do you call abortion (not a woman’s right to choose) you don’t want to have to make that choice, then keep your legs shut. he will deal with those who commit rape. black lives matter, of course they do, but ask god and he will tell you all lives matter. but that narrative doesn’t sit well with the left, with that, there is nothing to divide us by as a nation. this world will understand whom is in charge when jesus returns. jesus died on the cross that no man shall perish. john 3:16 who so ever believeth in him shall not perish, but have ever lasting life. if the dumborats would spend even a fraction of their time in his word, they would understand, we are all created equal under his name. but, they don’t want that, because the more you know, the less likely you are to be controlled anonymous says march 9, 2022 at 10:35 pm ok homophobe anonymous says november 26, 2020 at 6:17 pm put the pipe down fool!!!!!! anonymous says november 26, 2020 at 6:23 pm i havent seen donald trump name in the bible stupid jus crusin says november 27, 2020 at 4:09 am my family has democratic roots as far back as the depression era. my family lived through the depression era in oklahoma. we were staunch, middle of the road democrats, until the last year of the obama administration, we all voted for obama on both of his runs for president, and that will never happen again. the democratic party has gone so far left, that socialism now reeks from the very being of party.. it doesn’t take a nuclear scientist to see the direction that the liberal, socialist party is going. i’ll never vote for another democrat again, i wouldn’t vote for a democrat to be the local dog catcher. philip iorio says november 20, 2020 at 10:47 pm right now, more than ever, we the people must unite as one against the anti american, far left liberal socialist communist demorats. there is so much proof coming out daily of the lscd cheating the election system, to steal the presidency, as well as take over america. they will take away all of your rights, possessions, and liberty! we must activate the militia, and take back our country. arthur vasquez says november 21, 2020 at 11:16 am its spiritual warfare satanism vs the most high god who rules over all nations of men anonymous says november 22, 2020 at 6:01 am if you people hate so much a.merica and peoples skin color so much why dont you. purchase a huge beautiful island and be happy. surely your leader has money. why complain aboutthe tone of skin colors ohr parents gave us. it all seems so silly instead of growing gardensand loving children the way loving parents do. some are teaching children such evil things. god sees all of this. hell see to it that things be worked out. help your neighbors stop being so hateful its not becoming. the holy bible says. love peace and oneanother. talking evil about someone. do you like it when people say bad things about you. dont dish out what you cant endure yourself. mugslinging can go on and on so be sure itll come right back at you. my goodness you people are ruthless. learn to love. god the faith creator will help you. read his. book. stop your discusting jealousy. its as cruel as the grave. thats gods word bob marton says november 22, 2020 at 6:44 pm question ? history tells us that real christians and godly orthodox judaism jews founded america. so how can it posdibly be, that out of the thousands of mass media. that there is not one owned by devout christisns, or orthodox judaism jews. no wonder, that the media political party , destroyed the patriotic,family value, pro life democrat party ! and going after the republicans next. this is a rush limbaugh observation. it better scare the hell out of america. calli ng them to start thinking about the survival of their grand children. tn says november 22, 2020 at 8:15 pm so literally everyone, including your own pastor, is being deceived if they don’t agree with you? 🤣 robert russell says november 23, 2020 at 12:32 am gj dennis i agree.. the key here on earth is balance what ever your beliefs… without balance life will be tough with some 7 billion people here on earth. the left to say the least is… out of balance.they are also known by others as neo cheaters… neo cheaters = value destruction . they stand for the total destruction of the core values this country was founded on… neo cheaters drain your energy then use it to destroy the very values you carry. tell ya what…nobody is going to destroy the values i have to offer this world for the good of man !. i am sure there is plenty of you out there that feel the same.mr trump is doing a great job of bringing all this into the white light where there is nowhere to hide ! once there is exposure to the light they will have nowhere to go. we need to as a people wake up we have been sleeping for far to long and the time is now ! and now is the time to pull together as a whole and stop the deception of the value destroyers. the demos will not stop… they are like terminators that get paid to spend our money destroy our values we have built on for 200 years. while the media and the social networks kiss there ass on all levels because of a bribe or money ( gee i wonder who owns the tv networks and how long ? ) anybody involved in such actions at any level is a neo cheater working hard against all the values we as a people created. wake up people and bring your awareness up its all around you just got to pay attention. ask questions its your right… look them in the eyes and say i am here to burn your bs and seek the essences of truth. robert j russell ralph says november 24, 2020 at 2:14 pm no president has ever done a good job it is all about dishonesty, control, greed and so there is no such thing as a good politician or ruler . patricia says november 25, 2020 at 11:22 am so well said, robert!! thank you. we who know god know truth. never in my life have i ever seen anything like this in our country. four years ago america was blessed with a president who actually loves the american people!! he is not a politician. he is a businessman who said he was going to drain the swamp. they hated him because he would not govern as they wanted him to. they never helped him once but stayed hidden until they would come up with one lie after another to bring him down. all the while getting paid and using taxpayers money sitting in meetings for the sole purpose of bringing down president trump. but i am so proud of our president. he just kept on under all of this shit they put him through to complete all the things he promised us. he brought god back to our nation and was never afraid to use god’s name, to thank him and to fight for lives of the innocent unborn babies. abortion is just an easier word to say. if they had to say to the women, you can have your baby murdered today, they couldn’t do it. but that is exactly the word. their baby is murdered in a most horrendous act of all. by the way women should have a choice what they do with their own bodies but the baby inside has a body separate from the mother’s. we are all born from our mothers and we are all separate bodies from our mothers first growing in the womb and then living in the world. this is truth. they are spreading lies. people believe lies when they are constantly bombarded with them and don’t try to see the truth. never has abc,cbs,nbc,cnn,msnbc etc ever say one good thing about our president. you had to search and find fox news, newsmax, rush limbaugh, michael savage, sean hannity, tucker, candace owen. laura ingraham and many more good people who believe in truth and our president who loves us and hardly sleeps so that he can get his work done for the american people. he did not even take a paycheck !!! unlike the left radical dems who made a mockery of the american people taking our money while sitting in closed meetings for the mere purpose and goal of taking down president trump. when each different strategy of theirs didn’t work they would go back and think up something else . nothing they did worked to stop our great president . thank god!!! so now the end and their final hurrah was to sabotage the voting system. sending out thousands of ballots to anyone and everyone. i ripped mine up and went to the polling station to make sure my vote was counted correctly. this is a blatant outrage to america. it makes me so sad to see and hear just how hateful and jealous they are. i am a conservative christian and have tried to get some of the liberal people i know to sit down and just talk together about why we all feel the way we each do. they will not!! when we are speaking the truth it’s easy to do that. but the left refuse to speak to me about anything relating to both political sides. i feel sorry for biden because he is the puppet and they are the puppeteers. god help our once free america. . robert matthew camunes says november 23, 2020 at 1:14 pm everyone is right and everyone is wrong. yes, countries have failed at socialiism but i don’t think that was their intended goal. like china, they used it as a tool to control and keep the people in ignorance. i cannot believe they have somehow eliminated the past to the people. ask any chinese teenager what he thought of the revolution and that iconic picture of man standing in front of tank. they won’t know what you are talking about.. i may be a dreamer, but i believe in a capitalist society where there is opportunity for everyone. unlike today you are weighed down by corporate greed and thousands of businesses bought out or shut down because of corporations getting bigger and bigger. and what is their goal? to own the world? i mean c’mon, when is enough.enough.. all i know is, it has to change or we are gonna hang ourselves. lied to me about thanksgiving, lied to me about history, lied to me about so much and yet i’m supposed to be a patriot. i am. i served my country and i do love it here. but we have to do better. i don’t know why i’m preaching. it’s over. no turning back. biggest lie of all. global warming doesn’t exist. hahahahaha. we did it. there is no fixing the planet. they lie to our faces and spend so much trying to habitat mars. now i know why…. anne o'nymous says november 23, 2020 at 2:52 pm you can not even prove your god exists. your religion has no legal authority in this country. keep pushing it on us and the end result will be that your religion will be outlawed and you and the rest of the rabid “christians” will be sent packing. jim p says november 24, 2020 at 12:11 pm i can prove god exists, the more compelling point is that you cannot disprove his existence. many of your kind, the “non believers” rely on mysticism and “science”, the problem with science is throughout history, time and time again the “scientist” is always wrong, the difference is my god is never wrong, nor has he ever let me down. “science” told us the earth was flat, until it wasn’t. “science” told us flies come from meat, science told us black people had tails, “science” told us a new ice age was coming, then it didn’t. if we didn’t do “x” by year “xxxx” the world would end, oceans would rise, the world would be in inhabitable and other fallicies. the only consistency i have noticed with “science” is it’s consistent with being wrong & consistent with being manipulated to further an agenda. their in lies the problem, anything promoted by man is always subject to manipulation such as the whole idea of global warming, either say “x” or your funding gets cut off. the most high god is not subject to such nonsense. just the mere fact that president trump got elected should be proof of that, the political class in the country has been corrupt for far too long and he has exposed that, now for the matter of proving my god exist, i simply need to direct you to a movie called “god’s not dead” part of the value of such a wholesome movie is part of a philosophy students’ thesis is predicated on pricing just that. and for the sake of time it would be far more expedient if you take a moment of your time to watch the movie and indeed, my argument will be made valid. as far as legal authority, all authority is derived from god, the purpose of your “government” you so vigorously worship in fact is to be his revenger and execute his laws, nothing more. government has no authority whatsoever to exceed god’s mandate, whether you accept his existence or not. ralph says november 24, 2020 at 2:07 pm well then you better be able to prove there is no god, and maybe it is you that does not belong in this country and maybe your the one who will be sent packing get a brain your opinion is not the correct one . so quit trying to make yourself look smart , because the harder you try the dumber you become bear says november 24, 2020 at 11:39 pm so why don’t you stand at the front of the line and send me packing. i guarantee you the result of your action won’t be pretty. you think i’m going to just roll over. at the very least we’ll both go down. sam r says november 25, 2020 at 10:41 pm you need to get back on your meds. evidently you have zero idea of how and why this country started. anonymous says november 27, 2020 at 7:26 pm who’s going to that buddy u cant even change a light bulb buddy no ones going to outlaw anything u know why cause u dont got the fire power to back it up airus says november 28, 2020 at 2:22 pm your voice smells of rotten flesh, a fool without any hope whose future will continue to get worse and worse. there is no happiness for you and all of the good things that you remember will be just that a memory. you no longer feel loved and the truth is no one will love someone like you. there is nothing left inside of you that anyone truly wants. your will never escape the unbelievable pain and torture that owns your soul, eternity of the worse things ever imagined. this land in america will never lay down our souls to the devil only the week and stupid ones do that like you. the place that you speak of without god is hell your future place of mistakes and lies that you tell yourself. fool your going to be the one sent packing ! god wins in this story of life! the highest priest of the satanic church levey on his death bed was documented in his last moments of life saying ” imade a mistake, i was wrong, iwas wrong its real.” because it is real, god is real j bailey says november 23, 2020 at 11:30 pm honorable citizens voted for someone besides trump and trump lost the election & the electoral . respect your american way . so putin is out of our white house ! thank goodness! anonymous says november 28, 2020 at 3:58 pm oh my , another demonrat rocket scientist !! isabelle says november 24, 2020 at 3:39 am its goes against our constitutional rights for the government to tell us the people to close churches businesses or wear mask or have guns or who n when where how we see other’s for whatever reason we choose to do so. covid 19 has been around since 1983 its the same virus soars swine bird bat they renamed it and called it an epidemic to scare people protest close down our economy and make you suffer live in fear hate misery and discomforting. this is how they strip your constutional rights away. first take your money by no work or closing. business that’ leads to feeling worthlessness no money loss work home business credit then stuck at home with your kids driving you nuts then lack of oxygen to brain because of mask. frank morales says november 24, 2020 at 11:24 pm little by little there striping you of your rights its physiological.they will keep pushing until you push back than they will learn there limit and let you get comfortable until they start to push again a little at a time soon they will control your life.were adults and responsible for our own lives and family but there taking that to your children are not yours they even control that too roger says november 25, 2020 at 6:24 pm wow! have you been drinkin’ the kool aid! i suppose that there is no evidence, no matter how irrefutable, that would persuade you to take a more objective look at conservatism’s flaws. and no, i and most other progressive liberals (not radical leftists) do not hate america, want communism (hard line socialism without bill of /constitutional protections), and all the other conservative smears you hrar on the highly biased conservative media. i don’t agree completely with all the archetypical liberal and progressive views, but after many years of personal observation and study, i find many conservative views wanting, especially those rooted in religious “faith” (a completely non falsifiable, non verifiable notion crafted to get people to believe a false narrative about the universe’s and human origins and the cause of destructive human behavior, etc, etc! fuck trump says december 2, 2020 at 12:28 am republicans are unbelievably dishonest as well. just look at all the ones who have gone to jail for lying to congress. they were caught! my god you trump supporters are so fucking blind it’s downright comical. open your fucking eyes instead of blindly following your orange god who is currently blowing up our democratic process as we speak. oh you actually believe the lies he’s told about the mass amounts of fraud? moron. anonymous says march 9, 2022 at 10:40 pm someone disagrees with me on something? they have to be satanic libturds leesa says november 16, 2020 at 9:09 am the left doesn’t “hate america,” you simpleton ignoramus. it’s kinda funny, in that, the whole, “the right wing” are a buch of raving hypocrites” sorta way, that all you orange azz kissers were all about, “give it up,” “you lost,” bullcrap back then… now… not so much. anonymous says november 19, 2020 at 9:37 pm we won’t loose the uncivil war “we r gonna have…. anonymous says november 20, 2020 at 11:47 am listen to yourself, kinda spewing hatred. let the healing and unity begin. jb says november 20, 2020 at 12:33 pm can you explain 4 years of the fake russia russia russia hoax? the fake report that hillary clinton paid for? the fake news coverage? the well you know the thing….. roger says november 25, 2020 at 6:29 pm nope. sorry, but you’re flat out wrong. don’t just consume conservative news and opinion. tc says november 20, 2020 at 1:57 pm the left wants to change our country into socialize communists. how dumb can you be. did you read about harris,saunders,,ocs and all of their group. get your head out of your ass and read.. do you think the media is telling the truth. never have never will ! roger says november 25, 2020 at 6:33 pm and you believe fox news, breitbart, limbaugh, and q anon? take your own advice. don’t fall hook, line, and sinker for those on the right, either! diane d. says november 29, 2020 at 8:14 am since the right is so convinced that everything is fake news, why do you believe all the right spewed nonsense??? obviously, fake news!! the average left is neither communist nor socialist. but the conservative right are in need a good therapist to help cure their mental illness. they all sound paranoid and delusional. anonymous says november 21, 2020 at 7:35 am you my friend, are so stupid! open your goddamn eyes and see what’s really going on in this world. people like you should just shut up and go hang out in your basement. the presidential election of 2020 is by far over with. mike says november 21, 2020 at 7:56 pm i told my democratic friends 14 months ago that the main stream media will start dividing us on race soon because of upcoming election, it’s simple, divide and conquer. that’s how they get votes every election, check the facts over past 20yrs. do your own research, facts don’t lie. many of my friends observed this and omitted that it’s disgusting. americans of all races color and creed are learning the marxist tactic’s. win or lose, americans want to be free, not lied to and controlled. god bless all american patriot’s. roger says november 25, 2020 at 6:37 pm so just ignore our social problems and hope for the best? now, that’s naive! trump sucks says december 2, 2020 at 12:31 am the main stream media or the party you support? trump has done more to divide this country than anything the media has done. but you’re too blind to see that. j bailey says november 23, 2020 at 11:31 pm honorable citizens voted for someone besides trump and trump lost the election & the electoral . respect your american way . so putin is out of our white house ! thank goodness!!! mag says november 14, 2020 at 8:33 pm arguing with a trump supporter is like playing chess with a pigeon. no matter how good you are the bird shits on the board and struts around like it won anyway. depend says november 18, 2020 at 10:20 pm this comment is highly admirable and true truth says november 19, 2020 at 6:24 pm as always, what ever the left makes claims of, they themselves are doing. way to go mag!!! debra says november 20, 2020 at 2:22 am like that one! so true! anonymous says november 20, 2020 at 11:56 am 🤣 i not laughing at you i’m laughing with you! steve dwyer says november 22, 2020 at 3:29 am you just described the raving maniacs called social justice warriors! amazing how the left uses mirrors constantly to try and project their satanic stink onto others. it’s futile and doomed lol pete says november 22, 2020 at 9:29 am george soros has been running the left. he has paid off everyone on this election and everything he possibly can to destroy it , sidney powell will demonstrate that very soon and bring the whole damn corrupt thing down on their heads. stay tuned roger says november 25, 2020 at 6:39 pm great comment! roger says november 25, 2020 at 6:41 pm the website mislocated my comment. larry says november 14, 2020 at 12:42 pm i do not want to argue with so called liberals or communist morons(same in my book). but really? more failure? history repeats its self wtf are you idiots thinking free stuff. free everything, it does not work that way. you disgrace all and everyone whom fought and died for our country. you should be ashamed. i have tried to argue with left wing dummies and it gets you nowhere. there is a difference between ignorance and not excepting the facts/ arrogance. and you let the holly wood circus make your minds up. simple entertainers whom provide no essential service. getting dumber by the day. elmo says november 19, 2020 at 6:38 pm like the movie ideocrasy anonymous says november 19, 2020 at 9:54 pm very true, thank you starr says november 20, 2020 at 5:23 pm totally agree with you larry…. the only dems i know are rich , greedy know it all’s & the election isn’t over till the fat lady sings… can you imagine what left wooses do if the right proves that the left really lost…🙀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💘💘 ronald papineau says november 20, 2020 at 6:43 pm amenperiod b. wilson says november 20, 2020 at 6:54 pm it is so easy to spread lies about people who have a different view than yours. it is one of the weapons hitler used to gain power. preaching hate, and instilling fear of those who you categorize as an enemy creates enemies. our republic has always, in the past, embraced differing views and “freedom of speech,” with the exception of the mccarthy era, when fear was embraced, and caused much harm and suffering. there are hate speakers on both sides now, and that has given the american nazi party and other groups like them an opening they have been waiting for since wwii. jefferson and the other authors of our precious constitution must be turning over in their graves in shock at the imminent threat of the destruction of all their hard work and sacrifice. be frightened, but not of the left or the right,, but of people who preach hate and fear.. ronald says november 21, 2020 at 12:11 pm amen larry from a retired veteran from 3 war eras and this is what all the people who died for our freedom would say.,,thanks. tn says november 22, 2020 at 6:34 pm please take a class to learn basic spelling, grammar & sentence structure before calling people dumb! trump sucks says december 2, 2020 at 12:32 am the main stream media or the party you support? trump has done more to divide this country than anything the media has done. but you’re too blind to see that. phillip sayers says november 14, 2020 at 12:07 am god, please help us. truth says november 19, 2020 at 6:30 pm oh he will. and based on prophecy and what we see taking place today, it won’t be long! romans 1:28 32 and even as they did not like to retain god in their knowledge, god gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of god, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of god, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. terry martin says november 22, 2020 at 8:55 pm us 73 million americans must defend our constitution and freedom get rid of joe biden and kamala the commmunist. goobie gillis says november 12, 2020 at 6:42 am you all are so beyond ignorant, it is truly a pity. the only ones with hate their hearts are people like you, who try to create more division in this world for “profit”…that is satanic and evil. so, you are on the road to hell my friend. stop and turn towards compassion, forgiveness and love…. it’s not too late. a friend debra r. says november 20, 2020 at 2:40 am i think we’ve arrived already! satan is in control already & greedy leaders are following……….. i’m relieved my mother & gil aren’t here for this, among others………. little m says november 20, 2020 at 10:26 pm i agree that there is a lot of back and forth but this is at least getting the motors running for some discussion that may be getting perceived by some as inaccurate yet the more the the law of the land through the one original word from the (“holy bible”) is expressed though love, compassion and redirection to the only law i know of the (“bible”) hopefully god will save us all. the article itself is “i” believe highly factual and whether discarded or even possibly shared “i will” to allow minds the opportunity to expand. discussion creates good and bad but the good will always outweigh the bad. believe me, the day we are judged we will need above all things, are faith. together we can do this…love life, liberty and freedom first people. and pray! gino fernández says november 10, 2020 at 8:48 pm trump lost the ellection, accept it, just as we accepted trump when he won in 2016. the “left” has no plans of running the united states into the ground either. most of america or as the paranoid right calls us the left since anything, but thier ideas r correct wanted was to see a millionaire rich boy who was never told no out of office. he had no touch with any of america and only he with his hysterical paranoid followers would think he actually had a chance at winning. now as he threatens to hold office, like a dictator we see his true colors. “make america great again”, and his policies sounded alot like adolf hitler and his policies when he told the german public he would make gemany great again and pointed to jews as the problem, just as trump points to the left as a problem. any president that claims he should be president from 2016 until his death should throw a red flag up, but no not for those that drank his cool aid. delusional and out of touch just like thier leader that would’ve run them along with the country into the ground. we are a democracy people and that means we have to be open to other ideas other than that if our own and if u don’t like it maybe you should get out of our country. paul allen says november 11, 2020 at 8:30 pm you really are delusional. anonymous says november 21, 2020 at 2:56 pm aren’t they… jeff says november 12, 2020 at 7:19 am that sounds exactly like a communist response lie, lie,lie the communist left never moved on from 2016 they never accepted trump’s election and i will never accept communism beverly says november 12, 2020 at 11:24 am you need to educate yourself or keep your opinions to yourself   your ignorance is blatant! rustyshakleford says november 12, 2020 at 12:54 pm accepting it he says!? 4 straight years the left wing radicals and all mainstream media never “accepted the election results if 2016” this election is not over because you the “msm media “projected biden won after a slim margin and so many odd things happening yet alone we know any you know no buddy voted for biden they voted not trump very accepting and tolerant. once these legal votes are recounted it will be 2016 all over again the left wing sjw will be screaming with rage burning things tearing things down and chanting once again not” my president “ will you accept it then? we will accept a new president when your president dosnt have to do a president recorded speech and use cgi projected into an empty parking lot with red white and blue jeeps yes they used cgi watch biden’s lip disappear on youtube and look at the corrupt family’s feet when dancing moon walking and slideing over the place maybe should have went to the the guy for the union instead of the diversity hire with green hair and a face tattoo that learned how to do cgi it on facebook lol if he can’t even go out and actually do a un prerecorded speech on how he won and not be transparent and block all the people who want to recount the irregularities of his (astonishing victory ) with a woman vice president btw this should be history and he shoyld en proud and want to show every one transparency on how they won but they wont let that hapoen and arnt by court order ha so if he cant make a real life speach how is he going to talk to our adversaries ? they are going to manipulate him so hard and eat his lunch from last thursday sucking out all his lies form his drug injected bodie, ha let the count be documented and transparent to americans for “no shenanigans! the republicans and democrats and others will “accept the vote” but you have to be transparent or biden will be the first president elected potato to destroy the american democratic electoral process by manipulating the msm to call the vote and get people behind him beicre the governors even released the information (operation  mockingbird)<<<look it up it’s still in effect you better believe it when all msm mainstream media (expert commentators and guests ) are ex military intelligence  cia  fbi government run think tanks and weapons manufacturers that hate trump do you realize what all those companies have in common ? the all get profit from starting wars and conflicts trump is getting us out of wars and conflict around the world and legitimate making deals and swaying countries and large and amall tribes in the middle east and asian that have been fighting dor almost a hundred years straight over things they dont even know why it started anymore just like like gang members in the usa having to fight and not knowing why red and blue shooting at each other other a there colord bandannas and hats they wear one thing i commin with the msm medias guests they all lrofit from wars and disarrayed distorted conflicts my rant is simple the left has been brain washed msm (operation mocking bird ) to get into conflict and wars while trump is getting us out how stupid can you be? biden is going to start wars with russia right away and be sucking chinas you know what for free probably paying china for the usa to get of there knees by the way projected isn't the finish line “ debra r. says november 20, 2020 at 2:46 am did you get it out, now pull your head out, lol trish fathi says november 21, 2020 at 5:06 pm you are sooooo right what does it take for people to not be sheeple anymore..ei..think for themselves and make decisions based on that.. oh i love trump and his attitude. .he is strong and we need to stand strong with him.. i am ready for the marking of the boundaries with the left.,.let’s draw the line and dare them to cross it. revolution!! the chocolate dragon says november 22, 2020 at 9:12 am man, listen to yourself. you are clearly repeating a bunch of things you heard, over and over, yet you are calling other people brainwashed. in the end, none of us really know what’s going on, we just repeat whet we hear from the news sources that appeal to our bias. there is, however a difference between bias and outright lies. i understand that you think my news sources are lying and i think yours are. at the very least. considering that we both get our information secondhand, it is just as possible, therefore, that you are being deceived as that i am. i have studied techniques of manipulation, and mass persuasion, and trump uses all of them, as do all politicians, what’s new is how blatantly he does it, and just how far he will go. i know he has promised you many things and you are quite happy with the results. you live in a country with many many people however, who are not happy with what he is doing, or with what he is sacrificing of our governments checks and balances to do it. that includes conservatives and moderates who just want a return to civility and the rule of law, not socialism, not communism. we do not see any of that coming from trump. we see a man who is behaving like a monarch of old: surrounding himself with his family and cronies. we care about our country but we know it is not perfect, and we understand that our actions in other countries have created many of the problems that people are running away from. if you really took the time to get past your hate for people who are not really that different than you, you might just see past all the conspiracies and made up news from both left and right, and understand our alarm. i know your mind is made up, but i’m going to try anyway. its very hard to read points of view outside of your own bubble, i know, i find it hard to see how i am seen by your lot, since i am the kind of person who would give your the shirt off my back if you needed it , but there it is. this country will not heal until we can see each other as fallible human beings again, and talk. there have been lies all around. ask yourself how do i know this is the truth? because somebody on the internet said so? that ain’t no reason. my father was a salesman and a sociopath. he told a lie as if it was the truth, just because he could, and he promised you anything if he could close a deal, even if it was his own children’s love he was trying to buy. i recognize all these things in trump. that’s my experience. i’m sure it is much more compelling to think that the country is under siege by a cabal of satan worshipping pedophiles, and trump is the holy warrior rooting them out, but sadly, evil is much more banal than that. we are not your enemy. please consider that. jim p says november 24, 2020 at 1:06 pm if you think beijing biden and heels up harris don’t stand for communism and complete total government control of every single aspect of your life, i am afraid you are beyond help. you haven’t seen anything remotely like a monarchy in this country. president trump is doing exactly what we the people elected him to do. if you think this country is not currently under siege by a bunch of satan worshipping cabal members then you definitely are suffering from a normalcy bias. the vitriol from the left has been unmatched in history for the past 4 years, never before on american soil have americans flat out attacked americans physically for having ideological differences, pedophilia is running rampant in hollywood and throughout government, hence the hardcore push to de criminalize it and lessen penalties for it, the constant barrage of pro lgbtq propoganda, the constant nazi push of feminism, all designed to undermine god’s law. the msm willingly lies and distorts the truth, omits facts and twists them as well. how much do you know about nick sandman and his 250 million dollar defamation lawsuit against cnn? exactly, i imagine not much, how about the abrams accords? the who? exactly, how about the first step act & platinum plan? heard of either? not if you listen to the msm, let’s talk coronascam… a virus that has. 99% recovery rate and the economy is shut down, businesses ruined, and in the beginning of you closed the borders you were a “xenophobe”?? why is it you lefties always have a label for anyone who doesn’t now to your demands? on to the enemies comment , yes you people are our enemies, you want to impose your will and your values on us, attack us if we don’t comply, cause us to lose jobs, businesses and friends because of what we support and you people have the nerve to claim you folks are not an enemy? anyone who loves communism & the state, hates god and his laws, want to strip me of my rights and firearms, force me to accept their dogmatic worldview or be persecuted is absolutely an enemy, your liberal calls for “healing” are falling on deaf ears, i can assure you of that. some people at least 71 million of us will not compromise on our values or principles , it’s almost comical to sit here and listen to you spout your nonsense about how we are supposed to be not much different than you??? are you kidding me, you people believe that you have a right to kill babies, i will never reconcile with that. i cannot count the vitriolic comments i have received from the left over that last 4 years and all the sudden that never happened?? what kind of bubble/echo chamber do you live in? in the real world actions have consequences, to simply claim none of us really know what’s going on is nonsense, if you care to look it’s pretty obvious, it’s a battle of good vs evil right before you. i never thought i’d see the day in this country where election officials would board up windows to hide what they were doing, where poll watchers are thrown out so they cannot ensure a free and fair election, where ballots are destroyed, ballot counts are stopped, ballots are brought in by the truckload in the middle of the night? is that normal? do you really believe that? or is it because your news stations claimed it didn’t happen you refuse to accept the possibility? since when in the history of this country has the election not been decided on election night other than in 2000? since when have mail in ballots with unverified signatures and after deadlines been allowed? doesn’t the whole thing stink of something nefarious? or is it all good since it’s your candidate? imagine the outcry if president trump engaged in these things? i think every conservative on this page has considered that every time a trump flag was stolen, or a sign out of their yard, or been denied service due to wearing a trump hat, being beat up or spit on, cussed out or friendship ended, fired from a job, had rioters or looters destroy their business, been singled out for discipline or even had their lives destroyed, how you could sit their and say that is simply mind boggling. we patriotic americans have nothing in common with your kind at all, we respect diversity of thought, your kind abhor it. your goals are to censor us, shut us down and silence us, i think you should consider that as you spout your nonsense about” not being an enemy”, don’t make me laugh, the lack of self awareness with you people is unbelievable tn says november 22, 2020 at 6:42 pm it’s embarrassing that you’re so sure you know everything, but don’t even know how to spell basic words. donna gregory says november 12, 2020 at 1:42 pm actually the united states is a republic, not a democracy. our system derives from ancient rome which was a republic. that’s why the pledge of allegiance says   and to the republic for which it (the flag) stands, one nation, under god . we elect representatives. that means we have a representative government, not a straight democracy. after the creation of the constitution, a woman asks benjamin franklin, “well, doctor, what kind of government did you give us?” he answered, “a republic, madam, if you can keep it!” little m says november 20, 2020 at 11:01 pm this is a fantastic read. thank you for your insight to the lifetimers, new beginners and future arrivals to the u.s. either way it goes to me it doesn’t matter how long or how little you’ve been in a place so long as you love what you do and stand behind from knowledgeably for the greater good of you yourself your family friends and country because if it’s one thing we all have in common we all have families india like that we must protect by all means necessary so i’d much rather protect mine through peaceful endeavors however, protecting yourself extends to your privacy, security and danger so if the fight is necessary then it must done to allow transgression into the next.chapter of our lives that promotes the perception of wellbeing and peace and quite in your homes, minds and communities through fellow commitments to giving a hand even if it’s to a stranger to allow the “pass it forward” momentum around you 🙂 mark says november 12, 2020 at 2:13 pm perhaps you as an individual accepted donald trump as president, but you cannot deny the lack of acceptance by the “ left.” the democratic led house wasted hundreds, if not thousands, of man hours as well as a considerable amount of taxpayer dollars trying to remove him. a newly elected democratic member of the house of representatives publicly called to “ impeach the m**********r.” if you believe this is acceptance, i am curious as to how you would categorize rejection. i am sorry, gino, but if you truly believe what you have written here, i think you might be the one who has hit the kool aid a little too hard: aprel bond says november 12, 2020 at 2:25 pm are you insane ? you cant have 300 million people running around . we have to have some kind of order . having do’s and dont’s , if not we would all look like san francisco. living in tents , shooting up while holding down little screaming kids being raped. sorry , but that’s not being opened minded nor does it have anything to do with democracy, that’s being like wild evil and demonic animals with a serious perversion spirit. so is that the fantasy world that y’all want? for the rest of us don’t believe that we love trump we support trump. and believe me there’s a lot more trump supporters then the democrats the democratic parties the liberals the left and the radicalist. and no we did not lose …trump did not lose america he will serve a second term mark my words have a great day god bless lise says november 22, 2020 at 9:20 am wow. that’s either a pretty blatant appeal to peoples prejudices or you actually believe that. it is about as true as my talking about ignorant hillbillies in the south raping their kids while thumping bibles. it happens but that because well, people. homelessness is a problem all over. there is great inequity all over, but it shows up in big cities more because there are more people there. check yourself, man, and come back to a place of compassion instead of repeating gross distortions to make a point kp says november 12, 2020 at 2:27 pm bwaahaaahaha! accept it like you did??you are freaking kidding me! that’s a joke, right? 2016 was a fair election. trump was elected. biden? um… pete says november 19, 2020 at 9:24 pm all you that voted bidon for president ,that’s ok i will talk to you in 2 years if you will still be alive, to hear your opinions.. bobby mccarty says november 12, 2020 at 3:57 pm socialism is obviously of lucifer and his followers. it leads to total destruction of family and life. these evil people that are trying to destroy our country are simply doing their job to aid the devil. they will see in the end that their deceived wrongful motives will endure their souls forever with the devil in hell for all eternity. gods word does not lie and believe in it because its the breath of life. turn to god and accept him unto yourselves for eternal life in heaven after death is conquered.. i love my god of righteousness and he loves me. he loves us all and wants us to depend on him and not an evil government that is as fake as it can be. nothing is real with the false prophets , all is real with god… anonymous says november 12, 2020 at 5:47 pm you’re an diot and anybody on the left iis. and if you think you’re going to be immune to what’s coming you’re full of shit. how could anybody vote for commie baby killers that want to take your guns?!! they want to change everything about america. we are a republic not a socialist nation! the left doesn’t want to uphold our constitution or anything this country has been built on.. the left plan on increasing open boarder entries by 700%. if that type of invasion policy alone is allowed, we’ll see a spike in crime and terrorism like never before.. not to mention the ones wanting to kill fossil fuel. get ready left ass kisser expect much higher taxes, utility costs, and gas prices. and even more intrusions into your rights. travis britt says november 12, 2020 at 6:30 pm president trump has never said he should be the president until he dies and lying statements like that are the reason i don’t trust the democrats. if your as honest and truthful as you say why do you always try to make our president look foolish. you’ve done it since the day he took office. look at all the time and money that was wasted on the russian collusion and the ridiculous impeachment scandal you all perpetrated to try to remove him from office in my opinion as a 57 year old veteran you should all be thrown out of my country. i can honestly say i’ll never vote democrat for the remainder of my life anonymous says november 20, 2020 at 1:30 pm amen brother! anonymous says november 12, 2020 at 9:30 pm it’s my belief that any good business man could run this country better than any politician. republican or democrat. all politicians are overpaid public nuisances . ut the democratic party really takes the cake . y’all been whining since before reagan. pb says november 12, 2020 at 10:03 pm actually, you didn’t accept it when trump won in 2016. evidenced by your comments about him to hitler and the other false claim of him being president to his death. not what he said. no, i didn’t drink the “kool aid”. all of he “he is not my president” and crying and sulking. continued efforts to block and remove him from office, continue even now. craziness. perhaps you should do your research about what an actual democracy is as well as how the media has influenced our country, the ultimate propaganda machine. now this is reminiscent of hitler and his ilk. the far left is problematic. just read the policies they want to enact. raise your taxes, go with the green new deal (which would remove thousands of jobs and not be of any real benefit to our environment. (research those studies that are unbiased). remove many of the very things that our current president started that has increased minority jobs, education as well as resources. look that up too. the media never talks about this at all. the middle east peace deal and on and on. if you prefer to live in a socialist country, which is what you are saying (what the left says and they have actually spoken those very words   look it up) then perhaps it is you who should move out of the country to perhaps to china or venezuela. or, if biden actually wins (the election is not called by the media) then just sit back and wait. hope you have a stockpile of funds as well as other resources as those will begin drying up. best of luck to you! johnny baggett says november 12, 2020 at 11:34 pm nonsense. you’re one of those followers that if we said jump off a cliff you would do it. go back to school and learn what the constitution says. the press has no power to call anything. you are obviously very ignorant and very easily swayed. seriously…read the constitution if you’re going to live in this country.. if you had more of an understanding of history and of the constitution and the bill of rights you would’ve said what you said. n/a says november 22, 2020 at 2:26 pm i think you’re the one that needs to go back and read the constitution if you have ever read it at all. the democrats have spent four years giving everyone a nervous break down with a non acceptance of trump. they ranted and raved endlessly. so help me, if he stepped on an ant the democrats would want him arrested for murder. patti says november 13, 2020 at 1:25 am you need to accept that biden has not won yet, just because the lying media thinks they’re kingmakers.. votes are being counted, recounted, fraud is being found. kathy says november 13, 2020 at 5:14 am a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. can you do one google search for a positive trump story of any kind.? if you can’t find any i suggest that tds is for real. maybe you have good listening skills but lack critical thinking skills? spend some time playing devil’s advocate. it provides perspective. trump won. we know it, but so do you. volodymyr says november 13, 2020 at 11:22 am i am certain after the ballots are counted properly without dead people votes and drive by dumps, the loser will acknowledge the loss. anonymous says november 13, 2020 at 11:43 am wow, you’re about as uneducated as you and your ilk claim trump’s supporters are… shocking. lah says november 13, 2020 at 12:15 pm thank you, well stated. this makes for some crazy reading. i believe in democratically elected representatives. it’s the foundation of our country. trying to lump every american that doesn’t support trump into one monolithic group they call “the left” is ridiculous. i’m an independent and consider all issues facing this country separately. i don’t let a party, person or tv “news” tell me what to think. i read proposals and bills and carefully consider how they effect the people, all of us, not just blue or red. this undying devotion to a rich, spoiled brat who throws fits like a child and abuses power for self gain is mind boggling. i have friends who support trump. i encouraged one of them to take her daughter out to vote for the first time because it’s a right we share and i don’t need her to change herself to my views to remain my friend. that’s democracy, people can and should disagree without spewing hate. all citizens are all real americans! stephanie says november 13, 2020 at 1:15 pm you are truly detached from reality. all your comment proves is that democrats hate america. your hate and jealousy of a “rich man” as you call him is greater than seeing this country be the best it can be. one day you will see that these “left democrats “ will ruin this country and the free usa 🇺🇸 will be no more. anonymous says november 13, 2020 at 5:39 pm i’m sorry, but the left certainly did not “accept it” when trump took office. the left did nothing for 4 years except try to figure out ways to get him out of office. also, the comparison to adolf hitler is just ludicrous. yes, donald trump did talk against the left, because the left attacked him personally, professionally and politically before he even took office. i’m not a “trumpster”, myself. however, i do call it like i see it. and from where i’m sitting, the left agenda is “do as i say, believe what i believe or you are a racist, fascist, stupid, gun toting hillbilly”. everything you say you are fighting for, you are destroying. you demands free speech, as long as that speech is what you want to hear. you demand the right to protest, as long as the protesting is in accordance with your beliefs. i’ve been hearing non stop how donald trump is the reason for the divide in this country. look in the mirror. you, the left, are the people bringing the fight and causing the divide. politically and more sadly, racially. but i will sit back with a bowl of popcorn and watch, now that you don’t have your “evil minister of hate” to blame all your problems on, who or what will be next. because there is one thing i know for sure. you, the left, will not stop hating. you will just continue to make blame. jeff says november 13, 2020 at 5:43 pm i’m sorry, but the left certainly did not “accept it” when trump took office. the left

where our taxes go like a 401k…….instead of “voting” and then arguing with each over some idiot we don’t know…..i’m not saying get rid of government just downsize and truly make them our bitches the way it should be……both sides have been just completely ridiculous the last 4 years and it’s time to stop the soap opera because it’s fucking embarrassing at this point…. scott says november 13, 2020 at 9:06 pm i agree with your thoughts on trumps personality flaws   he is a narcissist   (i am an independent)   however the democratic party has taken it upon itself to judge the character of all free americans by implying that if you are not a democrat you are. a racist. this tactic is sickening and so flawed. it basically is saying that if you don’t buy in (like a cult) to the entire democratic party platform (which i don’t   i do buy into equality and affordable healthcare but don’t buy in to defunding the police or socialist economics, this country is successful because of capitalism). so now i am labled a racist. where does the democratic party belive they have the authority to classify people? they are blatantly exploiting minorities to accomplish their own agenda. its sad. i voted once for obama   did minority lives really get better??? minimal change at best   that is because minorities are the primary pawn of the democratic party. there is a reason al gore is a billionaire   environmental lobbyist money   and guess what nothing he predicted happened. careful what you follow   from my independent point of view   the democratic party has become evil. tn says november 22, 2020 at 7:01 pm your entire comment is about democrats unfairly judging anyone who isn’t also a democrat…then you end with saying democrats are evil. extremely hypocritical & contradictory!! also don’t forget we’re all here to reply to this obvious republicans letter spewing hate about democrats/satanists. tn says november 22, 2020 at 7:04 pm it’s extremely hypocritical & contradictory to write an entire comment about democrats judging people & ending it with saying democrats are evil. joel says november 13, 2020 at 9:19 pm go back to english class. robert osborn says november 13, 2020 at 10:56 pm you make a lot of comparisons between the national socialist party of prewar germany and, the current republican party. in the united states. a prime tenet of the nazis was blaming one particular ethnic group for all the problems in society. now i wonder which party is emulating the national socialists more? peter shrock says november 18, 2020 at 10:20 pm the nazis hated plenty of groups, idiot. just like republicans hate blacks, mexicans, gays   everyone except middle class whites. petershrock sucks says november 21, 2020 at 1:04 am i’m a republican, and the only thing i hate is ignorance. would you like to tell me what the rest of my values are? susy says november 14, 2020 at 2:40 am the left accepted trump in 2016? that would be the statement of the year. i mean of the last 4 years. i see you have a hispanic last name (yes, hispanic, no latino, no brown), but you certainly are not from cuba or venezuela who suffer under dictators (castro, chavez, maduro). castro who took power with a coup d’etat in january 1959 and ruled with no free election until his death nov. 25, 2016 (thanksgiving day).. how these socialists love power! once they get it, there is no letting go. ussr 70+ years, cuba 61 years and counting. and, as castro used to say “elecciones para que?” elections whatever for? and, when he died he put his brother raul in power because, “elecciones para que?” i personally do wish with all my heart, that every sympathizer of the socialist system were made to live under that system for 60 or 70 years. and, not as the elite of the communist party who have food while the people go hungry, but as a regular citizen. they will know what desperation is, and they would deserve it. capt america says november 14, 2020 at 3:50 am you socialist ass” i fought for my country’s shed blood in a war created by democrats, who arllmun moses says november 14, 2020 at 11:16 am you never accepted trump and you never sucked it up. show me one democrat in congress that gave him support his entire presidency. remember nancy’s disgraceful behavior when tearing up his “state of the union” speech. you call that sucking it up. he never said he would be president until death. shame on you for your lying ways. you should get out of our beautiful country. you have plundered and stole from it. broken glass and death follow the democrats. may god have mercy on your soul. anonymous says november 14, 2020 at 3:51 pm the democratic playbook is the same as the nazis. wake up and educate yourself on history. the democrats did to president trump what they did to their own people. manipulated the press, spread lies and dis information and caused fear and uncertainty. took away everyone’s right to own a weapon, first disarm the masses. they did everything the nazis did, play by play. how can you be some obtuse and closed minded. snowflakes, the media, your baby video games, and turning all snowflake men into little sissies. go cry in your safe space little boy. friendly trumper says november 14, 2020 at 3:57 pm you’re right the trump supporters should have gone into the fetal position and cried in the street or maybe do a little break the windows shopping for sneakers or big screen televisions or start a few bonfires using innocent peoples businesses like the ever peaceful democratic whiners did in 2016 that’s something you people would probably relate to rather than to using a total legal system of re counting votes you know the ones that didn’t belong to dead people anonymous says november 14, 2020 at 8:26 pm right on anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 3:19 am the left accepted trump are you kidding me lol? you guys cried in the streets (literally) for four years and smeared false information all over the place. get over yourself and if you knew what the left was really about. yes they want to take away freedoms in the name of equal outcome not equal opportunity and they use racism and division to get it. they control the media hollywood and academia. you are lying or blind to deny this. by the way trump probably did lose but guess what we don’t know yet still to this day. and you won’t see masses of conservatives crying in the street and wearing pussyhats or doing any of the ridiculous childish things you guys have done. there are some conservatives like this. but most all leftists are like this. anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 8:18 am i’m sorry i’ll make this short and sweet you have no right to sit here and bash trump when for one your own president elect is a criminal a pedophile oh and should i add delusional he’s nothing but a puppet that they will rule to incompetent to rule and out in a old folks home the left has always alone with the democrats wanted socialism and free stuff nothing is free my friend and the sooner you understand that the better to rephrase your final words if you don’t like it here you leave anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 9:01 am looks like the natzi’s have already done a good job on you. of course you are dead wrong. your whole diatribe is obvious taken right from marx and lenin.beliefs. you are an obvious athiest..freethinker.. since when does religion hurt anyone??? in short, you come across as a terrible person..and we do not need you in my country…soyou will be the one (and those like you) who should get out of this country .on foot, or in a box…take your pick! mike says november 15, 2020 at 9:35 am “ just as we accepted trump when he won in 2016” are you aware your party spent 3 years trying to impeach the guy and claiming he wasn’t a legitimate president due to russian interference? can’t make this stuff up lol anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 11:43 am like full term abortion rosie says november 15, 2020 at 11:49 am the ap does not pick a president neither does voter fraud, first poll watchers the democrats locked out of the counting showed their agenda, cheat at all costs. trump was ahead when all of a sudden “ballots” showed up by truck and car. no this is a democrat/communist coup. you need to look up the blm marxist trained leaders. and antifa, same as the kkk was a military arm of the democrat party. democrats lost their slaves, but kept them on the plantation and took their racism underground in 1965, i lived it. grow up, democrats in public office have gone full bore communist/marxists. thomas e sonne says november 15, 2020 at 12:31 pm you low life conmmunists have cheated your way to another election  it aint over till its over and we wont be tolerant as we were with obama we are tired of this communist bs!!!!!!!!! du says november 15, 2020 at 3:31 pm you haven’t accepted trump from day one. all you have done is tried your best to destroy america and blame it on president trump and the gop. and you’re telling me to accept biden just like you accepted trump. ok, if you’re sure that’s what you really want. you had better think long and hard before you make a request like that. i wouldn’t treat my worst enemy the way the democrats have treated america.. you should be ashamed of yourself and the party your backing. if everyone thought like a democrat you may not have lived to make these comments . you could well have been aborted at birth………. laura beland says november 15, 2020 at 7:08 pm the letter to the editor was mediocre. examples were left out. the angle waned, it’s supporting ideas were weak, vague, absent of order of importance an diluted. a set up for an attack. despite my desire for perfection in the former acknowledgment, the response was jumpy, full if holes, and wreaked of loose associations, name dropping, inaccurate, emotional, and twisted. craig curran says november 16, 2020 at 1:35 am really! the democrats accepted trump in 2016? what a joke! the resistance has been in effect every day since his election! trump is out of touch with america? really? then, why is he up for three nobel prizes? trump has been harassed and lied about every day. by the way, the left is a problem for america! burning cities, looting, and hating cops that protect them is not civility. the main differences between republicans and democrats is that republicans play by the rules. the democrats demand power at any cost. truth is not one of their values. republicans believe in law and order and civility. democrats believe in chaos and lies. godlessness, arrogance, ignorance, and lunacy is the democratic party today! anonymous says november 16, 2020 at 4:35 am you are a natzi. jamie says november 16, 2020 at 4:41 am you are a natzi. you never accepted the fact he won in 2016, even with the false media. then, tried to impeach for the next 4 years. now you say “just accept it like you did”, that’s rich. anonymous says november 16, 2020 at 11:06 am i agree with you completely. trump is not for me!!! howie says november 16, 2020 at 11:23 am who are the only people benefiting from the pandemic the democrats it’s about time the bidens are investigatined they more than likely they started the pandemic daisy says november 16, 2020 at 11:39 am america will be doomed by the new politicians coming in, g d has already chosen when america will be destroyed, long before she became a free land when the british and european immigrants beat king james 3rd military. and all the abominations that can’t hold a candle to sodom and gomorrah, g_d have mercy on your ugly selfish, power hungry corrupt ways.at least australia doesn’t have homosexuals in our government. stacy osterhoudt says november 16, 2020 at 12:52 pm the left did not quietly go into the night after trump was elected in 2016..so do not think you can take the high road. with the crying/screaming snowflakes…”not my president” you must acknowledge that happened along with safe spaces for them. along with many protests over the years not just this past summer. now, on that note, there were also extreme right groups in all these protests over the years which did not make things easier at all. if you are going to place them with moderate/centric republicans then you must take ownership of the progressive left side as well. which includes the whole defunding the police, as many have said to me, that’s not what we mean. then why say it??? how we as americans on both sides behave over the next several months, will really determine how this country grows, not by our politician, but by her people themselves. i also think the fears people of both sides of the isle have whether real or imagined should be taken seriously, and worked through. i did not vote for biden, or any of the democratic candidates, but i do not wish them to fail, for that would be wishing for america to fail, and that has no room in my heart. michelle says november 16, 2020 at 1:00 pm you foolish idiot, your so narrow minded, but you will be sorry these next 4 years you biden dummy are gonna eat it! it just sucks cause we have to suffer too tommye treadwellbtomm says november 16, 2020 at 2:29 pm gino, firstly, you need to learn how to spell. your every statement is incorrect. perhaps you need to get an education. tommye treadwell youraverageamerican says november 16, 2020 at 3:21 pm the left didn’t “accept” the 2016 election. they rioted for months, and spent 4 years spreading misinformation and atempting to impeach him. anonymous says january 9, 2021 at 11:29 pm youraverageamerican says november 16, 2020 at 3:21 pm the left didn’t “accept” the 2016 election. they rioted for months, and spent 4 years spreading misinformation and atempting to impeach him. still spread they’re still trying to impeach him. z says november 16, 2020 at 4:29 pm “just like you accepted trump in 2016? omg…you have terrible memory….go.back to youtube and listen to the most horrible things anyone could say about a person, his wife, his children, ,it started when he was elected and we are still having to.put up with it. kay higdon says november 16, 2020 at 4:32 pm yesss. get him out and support biden and harris and their team who are against great odds because of the narcissistic money hungry, psychopath ( strong word but true, not a sociopath, a phsychopath who does not have one touch of remorse for the sick and dying. my family is divided because of the influence this child has on the clueless followers . a young niece of mine disowned her parents because of the terrible remarks they made about the obamas in facebook. the daughter is a very politically involved democrat and was sickened by the words her mother wrote and she could no longer tolerate them and they are separated. a sad tale probably reflecting many households today. jamey craig says january 17, 2021 at 8:07 pm absolutely right. the same thing has happened to me. im now a middle aged 50 yr old biologist and illustrationist artist trapped in the middle of nowhere southern oklahoma. im also a lifelong environmentalist and due to my outspoken(the first amendment gives me that right.) which has literally given me a target on my back. my name and my life have been completely destroyed by these sick evil hateful vindictive right wing psychopaths!!! i pray to god to die peacefully in my sleep. anonymous says november 17, 2020 at 12:00 pm come on. don’t be a dumbo. 4 years of russian collusion, and the impeachment saga, and you couldn’t find anything on trump? care you take your head out of the hole the fake news media created for you dumbos john gerstbrein says november 17, 2020 at 6:13 pm maybe you should get out the country if you don’t like it. your characterization of trump and his followers is not only a smear but also a lie : but that’s what people on your side do and are very good at. also your comparison of trump to hitler also reinforces the fact that liberals like you can only rationalize their arguments by name calling and demonizing someone they disagree with. it’s much easier for haters like you to respond with histrionic statements and pretend they are horrible people to justify the hate you project on them .another down and dirty tactic pulled from the pages of marxist handbook tn says november 22, 2020 at 7:16 pm something tells me you loved it when the author called democrats “satanists” & didn’t think of it as a “down and dirty tactic” to “justify the hate you project on them.” total hypocrite! lola says november 24, 2020 at 1:53 pm people who voted for biden want the country governed like san francisco, seattle, portland, philadelphia, los angeles, ny,chicago…it’ll be sorta fun watching. guest says august 24, 2022 at 6:30 pm lola, people that voted for biden the clown were very severely mentally retarded in the first place. danielle says november 17, 2020 at 11:00 pm i agree with you on trump’s behavior being a red flag….i am in agreement with you there, and as a christian i don’t understand why so many christians voted for him. however i do not want to see america become a socialist or communist country because those systems (especially the last one) hinder free speech and freedom of religion, as well as make nations more collectively poor as a typical result. we need to “tweak” capitalism without throwing out the baby with the bath water….we need to get rid of policies that hinder all peoples from reaching their full potential, but not make it where “equality” means everyone (workers) are poor. danielle says november 18, 2020 at 12:09 am forgot to add that i am politically independent and a swing voter….and to those of you who commented about trump having the 4 more years plus possibility, that’s is very frightening…because you say you are afraid of biden and harris turning the u.s. government for the worse, but do you not see the betrayal of your country if you are indeed proclaiming that trump’s presidency should never end until his death? that too is authoritarianism and dictatorship…..america should never have a king or one ruler for life!!! and i have seen the republican party gain the power within the house and senate enough under president g.w. bush to reverse roe v. wade, but they didn’t even bother to even try to implement a small blockage of abortion, that could have at least been a start in saving a few, rather than no, unborn babies…i am under the impression that the abortion issue is held over christian’s heads like a carrot over a donkey, in order to keep them voting republican….but to me, if the gop is never going to overturn roe v. wade, plus they currently do not seem to care about other pro life issues, such as keeping our general environment, air and water clean (which is a pro life issue in and of itself, since it shortens and/or cripples human lives to have a dirty environment, dirty water to drink and filthy air to breath, in addition to the sin of extinguishing biodiversity), the gop presidents are usually the first to rush to war instead of war as a last result (again, a pro life issue because war can kill innocent people on the sidelines as well as takes soldiers’ lives before their time), and the current president talked about taking away obamacare but neither replacing it with another plan nor making regular insurance affordable for all…plus they wanted to potentially get rid of preexisting conditions in all insurance. think of poor children on obamacare with cancer having their insurance suddenly stripped from them with no other insurance option that is affordable open to them. again, another pro life issue…what is the point of voting gop if they are never going to deliver what they promised, plus be anti life on the other issues i have raised? so my conscience does not condemn me for not voting for trump, my being a pro life evangelical christian. seems like today’s gop only supports a pro life stance for undeveloped children in the womb, and maybe the elderly or handicapped being euthanized, but everyone else they forget about. christians need to be consistent on all pro life issues as well as other issues, and seek the holy spirit as their guide in voting and not their church leadership or “christian right voting guide” pamphlets in place of the holy spirit. it is shameful, but did you know that it is the evangelical churches in germany that got adolf hitler elected? perhaps they did not know what he would become…but it is obvious that they did not listen to the holy spirit on that one!!! you can vote for “the least of the evils” and do grassroots action outside of voting season to bring the desired results you want to see. blindly voting a certain party on one issue only, only not to see the objective fulfilled, time and time again, plus that party doing the opposite of what christ would do on other fronts, plus hating people who don’t agree with us, makes christianity look bad and is slowly turning people away from christianity….and giving satan potential ammunition to persecute us through them later. we need to start caring about the way we present christianity to the world, about the appearance of our witness. long live america, democracy, and may god grant us repentance and revival before it is too late to save this country and nation!!! baron says november 19, 2020 at 9:57 pm because many of us christians know he’s got our back not like the pinheads and dumb s*** that don’t i think it’s going to be a good deal if biden gets in because most of you’ll starve to death because you’ll lose your businesses you won’t have no place to go you’ll be living in your car or on the side of the road with the rest of the bum so it’ll be a good deal and all and then your families and then when there’s nothing left to eat you can eat your children and then when that’s all gone then you can eat each other or just kill each other i think it’d be wonderful but like bernie sanders said hey bread lines are good bread lines are good. and just like biden said about 10 years ago get used to it the us is going to be a third world country get used to it it’s like screw gods and guns get used to it so when you suffering just know god was smiling and saying you deserved it because you did look at the big picture but that’s what happens when you’re a progressive liberal lunatic that doesn’t have common sense that’s great you like f***** hitler like f***** cuz they did a great job on little kids and women and stuff and the concentration camps oh joe biden type but then you probably do like perverts and creeps maybe somebody else might be a little creepy huh or like sick in their fingers in places they don’t belong i find that many christians are a joke behind the bible but there’s about a true a christian as a bag of s*** i got more respect for that at least i got to say one thing about hitler he had an agenda but then he was a stupid jew i should say half jew so he was an underachiever compared to anybody it was a german descent like myself and i don’t like the fact that you discriminating sons of b****** keep calling everybody of german descent nazis f*** heads many of my family went over there and had fun killing their asses in world war ii something that most your family’s probably ran and crawled under a bed or came over to the country well after the war my family’s been here 300 years s*** stains that’s something that you probably don’t have the graces of cuz you’re not a true american you’re just a phony poser christian and a phony poser american have a nice day anonymous says november 18, 2020 at 12:38 am seriously? irma says november 18, 2020 at 7:40 am you say just as you accepted trump in 2016? you’re joking, right? a bunch of diabolical losers already were figuring out how to impeach him before he was sworn in. obama and biden have accomplished nothing. nothing! that’s why trump was elected. he made promises and promises kept. obama was caught in a hot mic with the french president both talking about how they hated netanyahu from israel. now do nothing obama wrote a book saying that the israeli prime minister netanyahu is lying against obama. obama says the reason trump was elected because our country is racist. he needs to be ashamed because so many white people voted for him. obama is making so many excuses in his book about so many things he did not accomplish. he and his wife’s narratives is racist everywhere. they’ve brought soooo much division. they did nothing for the black community. all they did was party in the white house with black entertainers. never in the history of usa have so many minorities voted like they have for trump. god bless america. the republican party is no longer silent. brian says november 18, 2020 at 8:33 am america is the greatest country ever to exist on this planet and if you don’t like being a part of it please do us all a favor and jump the hell off! anonymous says november 25, 2020 at 8:18 am if you think this is a great country then you are blind, there are many great countries and i am sure there is bad and good in every country. one person’s opinion is no better than a 1000 opinions. the facts are still the same it’s only an opinion and everyone has one. americans think they’re the strongest and better, well until you go live a lifetime in each country. you really cannot honestly say that, once you have done so then you may say that but until then you do not have the experience to back up your words lisa reeves says november 18, 2020 at 11:49 am you guys that live a criminal like biden need to go to his basement and live with the crook that has sold our country out for years. he knew he couldn’t win this election so he got the one software company that he could have it rigged. anyone that doesn’t see that has about one brain cell. and by the way, biden is 77 years old. know facts before you try and put our president down! trump 2020 by a landslide! sherry says november 18, 2020 at 1:32 pm nice comment…could have gone further. trumpie and his ilk are doing all they can to hurt this country, whether it is economically, (no the stock mkt. is only the wealthy buying and selling, never been an indication of good times), environmentally, ( see the pollution going up in the g. lakes). wants oil exploration in our wildlife preserves, all the while pushing for electric cars/trucks in lordstown. due to his ‘no plan’ for covid, we aren’t using much gas. he would remove all health care if he could, but you repubs are so ignorant of costs, you forget all those without ins. that get ill, go to hospital, etc. will be paid out of our taxes. it is cheaper to fund a health care plan, than to allow folks to get ill, then have to pay for their care…goes into the hundreds of thousands. it amazes me to see and hear how absolutely uninformed the right wingers are. trumpie has said he ‘wants a government like the chinese guy’….said we should try that here. you think things are bad now…wait…trump is a failed, 6 bankruptcies does not a great person make, business man. he is a liar, cheater. all you women raise you hand if you are okay with a p____ grabber, or a man that looks in on your partially clothed daughter for a neighbor. that is your guy. he could laugh at your crippled child as well. john says november 19, 2020 at 5:44 am anyone who really believes that president trump really lost to joe biden needs their head screwed on. the liberals did everything in their power to sabotage president trump even before he was sworn in. the entire russian hoax financed by the clinton clan. persecution from the scurrilous so called intelligence establishment. impeachment after impeachment attempts. outright total media bias. why?. biden cannot point to a single career accomplishment. he’s destined for a nursing home and then the marxists, socialist, antifa and hate america gang will be in charge. the greatest country ever produced is going down the toilet. the usa certainly has its faults but it’s truly the land of opportunity., charity and hope. jon says november 19, 2020 at 11:43 am if they cheated to beat trump, why didn’t they cheat to get rid of mcconnell or graham or ernst, etc? tn says november 22, 2020 at 7:21 pm quit using logic jon, it hurts their little brain! anonymous says november 26, 2020 at 6:15 pm a men donna says november 19, 2020 at 10:29 am the left did not accept trump the day he won in 2016 the protests started and didn’t stop for 4 years truth says november 19, 2020 at 6:41 pm very good geno, you have pipped up and showed everyone here that you have no brain of your own but rather the brain of the fake news media where you get all the words to speak, type and think. you have reduced yourself down to yet another mockingbird. well done!! debra r. says november 20, 2020 at 2:45 am exactly, well said gino! a democrat says november 20, 2020 at 1:16 pm you are correct according to world renowned and highly respected historians and holocaust survivors are issuing warnings about the similarities of this period to the rise of the nazi era. 1. “i’m a holocaust survivor

yeah, “not my president!” was totally accepting it. you’re another stupid hypocrite. and so am i, because i know lashing out at you only makes things worse. but i have found no way to get through to you delusional fools. you ignore the truth whenever it comes up against your narrative, every single time. you voted for a guy that is everything you pretended trump was for the last four years. how can we heal this rift when the left and right are literally living in separate versions of reality? anonymous says november 21, 2020 at 11:15 am last 4 years ass hole, you peple did not do it how can you even say get over it. we are over it, it was a free and far election. now the people that need to get over themselves are the people saying get over it while ignoring the last 4 years. ronald says november 21, 2020 at 12:18 pm it is not your country please go home to your drug rat infested hell hole which your belong to. i am a retired military veteran and this is my country and you did not serve and did not have friends and relatives that died in wars for my freedom and yours so stfu and go home ,your home is not here mexi boy. i am geting pretty dam tired of giving you people free eveerything. tn says november 22, 2020 at 7:34 pm you should be awarded the biggest entitled, triggered, snowflake veteran in the us medal! aaron says november 22, 2020 at 1:17 am what a delusional reply. if you look at the facts the left are preaching hate toward all others. you just did that! we have a system that works without riots and hatred. america is the greatest because we have to earn it. not allowing the government to decide what we can accomplish is the opposite of socialism/communism. once you far lefters realize trump won this election “with 80 million red blooded americans demanding the system our country was built on”. i suppose the far left riots will begin? we sure want those people running things so we can become more like north korea. a one party dictator “get rid of those pesky elections that stop us from erasing the american dream”. wake up!!!! i grew up poor and became a millionaire and never stop giving and helping others to realize they’re dreams. can you do that with one party socialism? our hard work and pride will out last all you useless eaters for generations to come. tn says november 22, 2020 at 7:47 pm you’re right, 80 million americans demanded the system our country was built on. the other 74 million voted for trump. anonymous says november 22, 2020 at 9:48 am you.did not accept the 2016 election result. the last 4 years democrats spent the entire time trying to overturn it. from the entire clinton, obama planned russia bullshit to impeachment over something that beijing biden actually did c mead says november 22, 2020 at 2:13 pm i beg to differ the democrats never excepted trump as president. and by the way you people that respond with swearing and calling people names are exactly what’s wrong with america. it might be nice if you grew up and tried to write your opinion as you see it reasonably try that someday sam r says november 25, 2020 at 10:52 pm you must have learned all that at some fine college or prison. i am not sure could you clarify. sam r says november 26, 2020 at 12:39 pm does not help your cause by calling trump supporters hysterical. those would be taken as words of war by most of us. my self i am ready for the tree of liberty to be replenished with the blood of our enemy’s. this we will defend. without a doubt says november 10, 2020 at 4:39 pm the left are low life loser people to begin with. anonymous says november 11, 2020 at 8:45 pm trump did not lose lots of illegal ballots.for dems. now, only legal ballots will be counted. trump will get 4 more years as our president. the left cheated and this is getting discovered. joe biden and kamala harris did not win! fu says november 14, 2020 at 3:00 pm 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 gabriel claus says november 14, 2020 at 10:55 pm may you please substantiate this claim? anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 5:45 pm the lefts are low loser people??? i’m not liberal… your remark is about you and obviously your chosen party… who’s the loser???😂 sam r says november 26, 2020 at 1:56 pm the country is the loser!! will sit back and watch the circus. while i work my but off and stop spending. got my 401 k ready to go into safeguard mode for when we see the great biden harris crash. leesa says november 16, 2020 at 9:10 am …says the deplorable dipsquat. rich m says november 17, 2020 at 10:16 am the left hate this country so much,pick up their bags and get themselves out of the usa. daniel umarov says november 17, 2020 at 10:20 pm that commits the ad hominem fallacy lisa reeves says november 18, 2020 at 11:52 am i totally agree! sea of red is coming and we will start defending the people you thugs attack. we have been peaceful but when the low lives start beating defenseless people in the streets, we have had enough. ball less biden is hiding and getting ready to skip this country because he will go to prison! none ya business anti biden says november 9, 2020 at 7:59 am even if that commie idiot biden still gets to take the office after trump fights it, i will not accept or acknowledge him as my president nor will i ever!!!!!!!! i will refer my president as “trump” because he won and you will never convince me or brainwash me into thinking otherwise. i hope all you idiots that voted for him get what you deserve and oh yeah, i’m sure you ding dongs will be the first ones to cry when it don’t play out like you think it will and i damn sure don’t wanna hear about it when it backfires in your face!!! enjoy, you stupid ding dongs, you all been warned but would not listen you all don’t have any common sense. biden bought his position and scammed and i would imagine clinton and obama and most of the holly weirdos helped too and they all are paying to shut people up and threatening anyone that don’t let him be president i’m sure, probably even the courts are being threatened. dorothy cecchi says november 9, 2020 at 4:55 pm ditto, ditto sue lione says november 16, 2020 at 11:52 am i feel very sorry for your twisted opinions of democrats. trump and his menions have demonized the word, liberal. and you have no idea what socialism is. you’ve been brain washed by his lies. you are to be pitted. sue. lionel blowsgoats says november 18, 2020 at 7:20 pm i know what a cum guzzling whore is: you and kamala harris by the way, there is no “e” in “minions” you stupid leftist cunt. polly benatti says january 9, 2021 at 4:31 pm you suck…and you know it..🤣 anonymous says november 9, 2020 at 6:54 pm every word you wrote is the truth my president will always be trump he’s also one of the biggest liars that i’ve ever seen biden is a crook and he should not be running this country anonymous says november 12, 2020 at 4:25 am this is what i see from the dems,media and big tech. the did exactly what hitler did to control the germans by completely controlling the narrative. they didn’t tell the truth about anything trump they only distorted the facts and rally if ever reported trumps accomplishments . most dems when i talk to them never knew about the peace deals, bidens families dirty deals with china,the riots in america and who was boing it, ,help for black communities,flag burning and i could go on for a very long long time. 93% of the news didn’t report the truth in the news so the dems..where totally not informed and totally lied too. this is exactly what dictates commonest.,socialist ,and and hitler did. if you want america to stay great we must change this or we will lose our freedom. anonymous says november 12, 2020 at 4:32 pm there millions of real americans who will always be trumpers and he will always be always our president voter fraud was your only way to win patton says november 13, 2020 at 8:35 pm i agree, trump, is the victor!!!,,,the election was rigged.from.the start,he hardly had an even chance, and with swarms of foreign refugee cockroaches voting against us,, in all the urban center polls theres no way to win! anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 8:01 am he a traitor piece of garbage same as you white supremist snakes devils drop dead leesa says november 16, 2020 at 9:11 am thanx because you’re a cowardly “anonymous” “ijit.” tn says november 22, 2020 at 7:51 pm what’s your last name leesa? if you don’t give it publicly, you’re also an anonymous coward! show us all how brave you are. nuther anonymous says november 17, 2020 at 10:37 am exactly! here’s the left’s innermost beliefs, and what they wish all conservatives would just accept without question once and for all..”to form the most ideal america, study hard in school, put your nose to the grindstone, get good grades, work your asses off, build a truly substantial amount of wealth through hard work, then give most of it away to those that didn’t, those that wasted their fucking time, youth and energy enjoying their free time without a thought to their future. and be nice to a holes from s hole countries who come here with their f’ng hands out thinking america owes them something…unlike the immigrants of decades long ago who came here with true humility and gratitude, ready to work.” lethldsage says november 9, 2020 at 9:06 pm awesome, awesome!!! julia says november 9, 2020 at 9:53 pm amen to those words. phillip sayers says november 14, 2020 at 12:01 am god please help us. janice says november 10, 2020 at 2:37 am god has a plan for president trump is his man four more years plus. god will have his way no matter what the fake news says. gods way is always the right. total corruption in voting counting will be exposed beverly says november 12, 2020 at 11:29 am yes!!!!! pat says november 13, 2020 at 3:52 pm i agree with you janice! i am not a devout religious person, but i do agree that the end times are here and there is nothing to stop it here on earth katy says november 14, 2020 at 2:41 am i agree. thats what the prophets are saying. many indictments. trump has 4 more years @ least…….maybe more. mack trucky says november 14, 2020 at 3:29 am praise god for removing the false idol donald trump from power. he has stolen so many souls from our lord, so many ignorant misinformed fake believers. their master donald trump has been flushed by the almighty god. they must have forgotten that he is a jealous god. i pray for their lost souls. mack trucky says november 14, 2020 at 3:29 am praise god for removing the false idol donald trump from power. he has stolen so many souls from our lord, so many ignorant misinformed fake believers. their master donald trump has been flushed by the almighty god. they must have forgotten that he is a jealous god. i pray for their lost souls. anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 8:02 am he a traitor piece of garbage same as you white supremist snakes devils drop dead anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 11:06 am i don’t think god hates america so much that he would choose the devil as our leader. despise trump says november 15, 2020 at 11:07 am i don’t think god hates america so much that he would choose the devil as our leader. facts do matter says november 16, 2020 at 4:47 am god’s plan for trump has been very visible for a while now. ~trump wanted obama impeached. trump was impeached. ~mitch mcconnell wanted to make obama a one term president. trump is a one term president ~trump lied during the 2016 campaign that unemployment rate was as high as 42%, guess where trump’s unemployment rate landed during the pandemic? ~trump accused obama as incompetent, guess how world leaders see trump? ~trump claim his 2016 306;electoral votes were a landslide. now he won’t admit biden’s 306 electoral votes are a landslide, just as his. ~trump lied that he did more for blacks than any other president. 90% of blacks voted against his dishonesty. ~trump took credit for some of obama/biden’s accomplishments all the while trashing them in the most disgraceful manner. his presidency will now the bookmarked by the two men he hates the most.  trump bullied, attacked, insulted, spewed hate. he portrayed himself as a strong man. now the world watches a very weak man repeatedly lying to his supporters, as he loses lawsuit after lawsuit… in hopes of cheating to a win because his life outside of the wh and without the protection of the presidency will be his reckoning for his life of crime. god’s plan for trump is to remind us of galatians 6: 7 9. that what a man sows, he will reap! n /a says november 22, 2020 at 2:52 pm i am amazed by those who quote “god” and miss everything else around them. apparently you need to do some research on obama. i mean, look things up in a library, read some books, read some papers, read comments by people in the know. you can tell by by what people write whether they get their information from the tv or the next door neighbor, as opposed to actually researching an issue. i had the experience of researching all 17 candidates of the republican party in the 2016 election, then i researched all their spouses. also read five books re hillary clinton, written by both democrats and republicans. the opinions re clinton were much the same in all books. it was amazing what i learned! sam r says november 26, 2020 at 2:02 pm interesting how you quote the bible as the commie liberal democratic socialist society loves abortion and controlling the good colored folks of our nation. you people started this war and we will end it. leesa says november 16, 2020 at 9:13 am you’re god must be a real a hole… much like his “ijit” followers. of course, maybe you’re talking about “her” plan for the entire trump crime syndicate spending their lives in jail. anonymous says november 16, 2020 at 9:46 pm trump didn’t accept pay, could he possibly be legally do 8 more yrs.payed guy north says november 10, 2020 at 8:45 am you are already so pathetically brainwashed all there is left to go and shoot your sorry self, give real americans a break. trump is a complete fraud, as you are, and you are extremely ignorant and clueless. anonymous says november 12, 2020 at 11:03 am poor baby, i’ll pray for you and your family to give you the strength to endure after all truth is manifested. never forget god’s promise to his faithful: i can do all things through christ who strengthens me… if god is for me, who can ne against me my god, is a god of justice… good luck beverly says november 12, 2020 at 11:45 am have you been living under a rock? did you just come to and miss the real crooks? the media is among the real crooks . just because someone says or prints something doesn’t make it true.. can’t you think and reason for yourself? go live in cuba or venezuela if you want to live in socialism. trump has exposed the lies and corruption that the left has set up to gain control of the us government and their intolerance for anyone who does not see the future as they do. our country was formed by diversity and differing beliefs., our belief in family and god. our constitution protects our rights. trump is not lying when he says they want to take away our rights. listen to their own words!!! anonymous says november 12, 2020 at 3:23 pm your attitude says it all. t k britt says november 12, 2020 at 7:24 pm think of this also obama’ all but ruined our country and the main reason the majority voted for him was so the white man could prove he wasn’t prejudice i’m not ashamed to be born white and if the blacks don’t like it tough. none of them have ever been slaves or know anyone who’s been a slave i don’t owe them shit!!!!! little m says november 21, 2020 at 12:50 am this is a fantastic read. thank you for your insight to the life timers, new beginners and future arrivals to the u.s. either way it goes to me it doesn’t matter how long or how little you’ve been in a place so long as you love what you do and stand behind it from knowledgeably respecting every faucet of your surroundings. if not, the golden rules of wreckage by fellow believers of treating others as you’d have those treat yourself goes forth for the greater good of you; yourself your family, friends and country because if it’s one thing we all have in common we all have families that we must protect by all means necessary so i’d much rather protect mine through peaceful endeavors however, protecting yourself extends to your right to privacy, secure from intrusions and the right to speak through our free will as we do and if stood correxted by warning through a person just remember we should all recall the messengers from god. its never been the dog that’s in the fight rather the fight in the dog!! if this is what how people really feel regarding ones who know they argue on matters that really matter none and carry on by trying through manipulation or fear based tactics to get domination over the other and as we see it happening we also see less drive in many to defend the #1 focal point that must be addressed first and foremost before the transition to change starts. therefore if the fight is necessary then it must done to allow transgression into the next.chapter of our lives that promotes the perception of wellbeing and peace and enjoyment free from fear and loathing in your homes, minds and communities through fellow commitments to giving a hand to yourself first, then your family and if their good then and only then because of capability to handle more lend a hand, voice, opinion to help even if it’s to a stranger to allow the “pass it forward” momentum around you 🙂 otherwise minds that have focusing to be worked through for themselves seem to be fragile and not well managed with reasoning the whole truth and nothing but that because the rights and wrongs they’ve spoken, committed or pre meditated on are confusing their alignment which greatly impacts out earthy vibes that are made up then by harmonies from the peaceful goodness of others that she’d these qualities of betterment not for themselvea but for the others that they and myself wouldn’t like to leave behind for our kids, mine to suffer in when i’m gone. just thinking of this makes me cringe thinking when i die who will protect and see to it that my babies are still guided down the right lane towards the basic morals and values that america 🇺🇸 stood for and could still be saved and turned around if enough minds created a new scenario that’s not so new but worked way better then than now because becoming what a good hardworking american dreamer is is a process of investment in ones self and discipline on that focus rather than the issues that were never intended to be put in the american hands to fight and argue about but was placed through visual enticement and heard enough and talked about enough negatively to be tested like dummies as this is the higher % of people that line up and get controlled rather than controlling the line up by finding your place in life as a good person always seeing and trying for better in all areas of your life and screw the rest. if your writer, write to world good and rationale speeches to create stimuli for their dreams. if your a speaker, speak of what is, was and to become through your god given blessing of being a people person influencer of good that can guide through the ability of relating to so many audiences but hold fast on boasting as their may be an audience that you couldn’t reach or relate to so maybe your annoying neighbor that’s everything opposite orher than defending the red white and blue in america and the principle for which we stand and fight for over. god bless america and donald j trump and bless it be for god who gave us earth and free will of speech and land to the free to be as good to each other as he is only perfect so don’t think he has not so perfect for forgiving and turning around to the join the good because this is perfect forgiveness from the one and only whom is perfect. don’t forget it 😉 travis britt says november 12, 2020 at 7:29 pm why do you believe trump is a fraud what has he done that was fraudulent? i can afford to fill my gas tank i can work every day i don’t fear china anymore i feel like my kids have a real chance at a good life. all you left wingers do is spread lies and false rumors your the true frauds anonymous says november 12, 2020 at 7:53 pm lol 😂 anti biden says november 12, 2020 at 11:52 pm lmmfao!! biden stays in basement dreaming of touching women inappropriately, thinking of little girls rubbing his legs, was caught in so many lies, “all president’s lie” hardly anyone shows up at his rallies, but yet he beats trump in votes?! honestly do you believe that crap?! funny how they want to take our guns , but yet hire personal security to protect them using same guns they want to take from us! since everyone knows obama is pulling the strings for “puppet joe” that’s how you do a 3rd term as president! careful what you wish for and do your homework before voting for someone just because you don’t like trump , because i’m sure you blame him for everything bad in your life! oh , you saw it on the news? funny thing about that is most of them are run by the democratic party cnn stephanie says november 13, 2020 at 1:19 pm wow “go and shoot yourselves” another peace loving tolerant comment from the left. wow just wow. democrats are so full if hate joel says november 13, 2020 at 10:13 pm you need to stick to your consorting with swine. missy says november 14, 2020 at 6:14 am all i see so far in these comments are trump people making comments of opinions and bidens people making comments of threats.not one trump people said kill yourself or threaten harm to others.i think i said enough of who has better morals and values bob says november 15, 2020 at 3:21 am provide women examples instead of talking like an angry child. make an intelligent rebuttal if you’re capable. anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 3:40 pm really better buy a horse you are going to need it when fuel goes out of sight zachary t howard says november 15, 2020 at 5:05 pm you realize telling people to shoot themselves online is a crime, right? and that you’re a garbage excuse for a human for saying that, right? it’s easy to sound tough behind a screen where no one can break your jaw for the things you say. zach says november 15, 2020 at 8:19 pm imagine being so delusional that you think the people who are advocating for the expansion of the federal governments power over the individual as well as trying to abolish the 2nd amendment which are things the founding fathers would be disgusted by are the “real americans” john gerstbrein says november 17, 2020 at 6:24 pm what’s your delluded definition of “real americans”. probably the same as the dishonest and lying democrats. dr says november 18, 2020 at 6:35 am trump is a fraud????….that makes biden a dirty old white pervert racist greedy thief whop ought to be in the big house not the whitehouse….who you kidding leftbat?….not me….biden became a millionaire by using his office….trump became a millionaire by building things and working his butt off……. jenny didp says november 10, 2020 at 9:18 am you are so right what can we do to save our president donald j trump . those dimwits morons that voted and cheated. for biden they are liars.crooks.cheaters.that is the only way they ca.n win .that is what we are teaching our children the only way you can win.is cheat lie and steal . let’s start by boycotting hollywood. steven says november 13, 2020 at 9:23 am you are absolutely correct !!!! that’s why the democrats are in bed with china!!!! they have learned from the peoples republic of china how to steal and cheat!!! china is notorious for stealing intellectual property from the usa and other nations!!! it is soooo ingrained in their culture that they make millions of dollars selling cheats and shortcuts for video games to their own people that it has become a very lucrative cottage industry for them… and the democrats are simply using the same model!!!!!! if you cant beat them ….. cheat them !!!!!!!! republicans are patriots !!! democrats are just pathetic !!!!!! and i am proud to have served my country…. the greatest country in the world !!!! god bless the usa !!!!! god bless donald j trump !!!! fu says november 14, 2020 at 3:10 pm can u all please leave ur names and addresses with the moderator. they will be sure to see they get passed along to the incoming administration so they know your not interested in reaping any benefits from the “united” states & the people who want a fair, calm, peaceful, “empathetic” country….ugh,of course i’m being facetious but really people can’t we all try nice & co exist?? obviously the opposite hasn’t been working… patriot says november 14, 2020 at 11:57 pm it’s absolutely amazing how many of trumps followers have no idea what democracy is or that trump has been ripping off american taxpayers for his own personal gain for decades and still continues to do so. trump is perpetuating his lies because he understands once he’s nolonger president he is probably going to prison and his lies, cons, thievery will be fully exposed. trump is the least american patriot to hold the office and the most corrupt president in this country existence. if you trumpest wish to remain in his cult(the confederacy of dunces) please go ahead after all this america and you have the right to do anything you want no matter how stupid  ass long as you hurt or violate the rights of others despise trump says november 15, 2020 at 11:19 am go online and google the times that trump has said things like “we killed some of them so they are killing some of us” (about russian bounties on the heads of american servicemen)…or has the “fake news” doctored such videos? look at ben sasse’s comments on trump…or has the evil liberal conspiracy got to him with bribes and intimmidation? i don’t like liberals either, but, jenny, you are supporting the devil. the devil is a liar and he has coopted your patriotism for the purposes of furthering of his own interests. liberals created trump, by denigrating the values that americans hold dear, but trump is still the devil dr says november 18, 2020 at 6:37 am the left will wake up in about a year when they realize they have no rights left after harris gets done with this country and the controls put in place. ryan says november 10, 2020 at 1:15 pm wow. hope you are retired. i can’t imagine how you make a living with those reasoning skills. need2know says november 14, 2020 at 7:37 pm what reasoning skills do you question dumbass? or you just run around the internet insulting people to make your own miserable existence a little better? ya i’m going with the second option. enjoy your hot pockets and moms house loser. john gerstbrein says november 17, 2020 at 6:26 pm her reasoning skills rival and surpass yours and other like minded morons. anonymous says november 10, 2020 at 5:09 pm who cares your as much of a loser as trump bm says november 12, 2020 at 4:05 pm you’ll see when you lose out… anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 8:37 pm you don’t english good. anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 8:38 pm suck start a pistol. john gerstbrein says november 17, 2020 at 6:26 pm we think the same about you and biden robert says november 10, 2020 at 6:08 pm yes. i voted for trump because i’m a christian and i can’t support somebody who is pro choice, pro lgbtq rights, against the wall, open borders, etc. yet the young and non whites voted and celebrated when biden/harris won. the four young women of color who won the house again are giddy and say now they will be able to push their progressive socialist agenda. i am sick. it was my state, pa which helped biden win. yeah, the black neighborhoods in philly voted 90 100% for biden. there was dancing and cheering in the streets in philly with car horns honking last saturday. mostly young and non white. the youth are brainwashed by schools with darwinsim, etc. satan is waging war against christians. we may very well see christian persecution and church closings under a biden/harris administration. god help us. anonymous says november 12, 2020 at 2:40 pm racist steven says november 13, 2020 at 9:29 am amen brother ….amen !!! debra says november 13, 2020 at 4:05 pm amen and let’s quit this petty infant bickering god will make the decision and that settles it neither one is that wonderful! donivan potter says november 15, 2020 at 4:11 am funny, i took the best care i could of my dad, he passed away sadly. i live alone, have done my best to help those i can and when dealing with my own health i lied to doctors out of fear of losing care. i am part of the lgbtq you loath. i’m transgender. i didn’t choose this no more than i chose my muscle disorder. while hospitalized doctors said medically they were seeing things they thought were impossible but it was happening in me. i hid the truth about being transgender, and no i wasn’t transitioning. one thing has happened since telling doctors the truth and addressing the gender dysphoria as a medical condition my muscle condition is improving. you and others assume things and judge wrong what you are ignorant of. i only did what anyone does when presented with a health issue, the best treatment and it’s a shame that unlike many i get people like you saying i’m bad for trying to save my own life. and i’m sure many like you who will read this will like you call me a liar and worse. you are blind to evil, it is trump and liars like him. i should know hiding and lying my whole life was killing me. i believe in god and to me lying is a great sin. so go on judge me a sinner someone telling you the truth and go on continuing your beliefs in a con man like trump, the man hates the poor and that’s anyone not a millionaire. anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 4:19 pm i agree with you. anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 9:30 pm a men! we are in for some tough times, but in the end, the strong will survive and the brsinwashed leftists will crumble like the “government” they chose to take care of them… sad to say, but it’s gonna take true adversity and struggle to make them realize what a true american is… #reparations?haven’tgivenyouenough? marilyn willett says november 15, 2020 at 11:14 pm him and his running mate want abortion in the 9’th month they and everyone who supported them with a vote will face a vengeful god before they are kicked in hell. god destroyed sodom and gommorah for the sin of homosexuality, including the animals and the grass ”even the women did exchange that which was un natural with one another and god gave them over to their sin” in other words; no repentance. this is all pushed by communist china. leesa says november 16, 2020 at 9:15 am hey little bobbie. put your superstitious belief in your invisible friends somewhere where they won’t harm the rest of us, you raging, infantile, simpleminded hypocrite. mike hawk says november 16, 2020 at 2:36 pm you are the brainwashed one darwinism is proven also the school’s didn’t brainwash the youth it educated them which is what you need. and you’re saying you don’t support lgbtq rights and you want to keep others out of our country for what they weren’t born here so what there still humans supposedly created by this god you worship daniel umarov says november 17, 2020 at 10:26 pm bringing religion into politics is never a good way to go since most of them are corrupted on both sides. it only gives you an out to when one makes a mistake. the definition of the word conservative is “averse to change or innovation and holding traditional values.” that is selfish in its own right. obviously, i cannot convince you of your beliefs and i will respect them. also just don’t bring up race when talking about voting jeremy says november 23, 2020 at 5:40 am but you voted for a guy who had sex with a pornstar and paid her off while he was married lol, trumpists really are morons. anonymous says march 9, 2022 at 11:57 pm ok homophobe anonymous says november 10, 2020 at 7:21 pm despite what you think about us “leftists”…we didn’t *want* biden. i know i didn’t, despite voting for him. i wanted trump out. period. i voted for him the first time. the experiment interested me/hillary’s inability to admit to her mistakes won me over in a situation of equally shitty options. however, while most would say (including trump himself) that he lived up to all of his campaign promises, he did not. chief among them would be his blatant disregard and hostility towards the lgbtq+ community. one of the selling points of him in 2016 was that he wasn’t going to tow the party line, yet here we are. this article likes to bring up how great it was under the biblical/christian way of doing things. clearly it’s not written by someone persecuted by cherry picked verses from said bible. the irony is that if the republican party was more in line with the actual message of the bible over the verses picked to insight hate and intolerance, they’d be vastly more popular. but they don’t do that, so they lose votes. truth is, those who hold the bible to be their main/only guide are in a declining position. with all of that said, i return to the first point…i don’t want biden. i want trump out for how he treats people, and not *just* the lgbtq+ community either. when it comes down to it, i’m more of a centerist, that leans one way on some issues and the other on others (ie liberal for the lgbtq+, but conservative for guns). he’s the 46th president. if trump contests it too long, you’ll get pellosi as acting president, so remember that. but don’t think we won’t complain, march, protest, and everything else to keep him in check. the majority that voted for biden want him out/didn’t want him as their candidate to begin with…we just couldn’t stand the 45th president for another term (or worse, pence). some of us wouldn’t have been able to live with it literally, or had our rights intact if we did. steven says november 13, 2020 at 9:39 am or worse, vp pence ???? what? vp pence is a god fearing man!! rights and liberties are what the democrats want to take away from us… wake up people ,,,,,, trump 2024 !!!!!!! god bless the usa !!!! james says november 13, 2020 at 9:00 pm say goodbye to your firearms joel says november 13, 2020 at 10:18 pm the left are nothing but sore losers stricken with tds. not one contribution towards anything positive. buttsex and babykilling defines the democratic party. anonymous says march 9, 2022 at 10:03 pm ok homophobe yours truly says november 13, 2020 at 10:23 pm that’s ok. you didn’t vote for biden anyway. you just voted trump out and that’s all they wanted. we will finally have our first women president. just give it time. yeah 25th amendment. like blowski said it wasn’t instated for trump. you don’t need2know says november 14, 2020 at 7:41 pm perfect example of a stupid voter. lgbtq community actually said trump has done more for them than any othe president. but you won’t get that information from cnn so…..i see why you missed it. every gay friend i know is a die hard trump voter. so……expand your social group maybe you’ll find more information. robert mcshane says november 16, 2020 at 12:50 am i wanted biden, he is an american ! he loves, supports and defends the constitution. most people vote against an ideal that makes then uncomfortable. bigotry and facsism make me feel unconfortable . the u>s>a> has the worlds lowest voter turn out. of the industrialized world. i live in oklahoma we live in the state that has the lowest voter turnout of any state. talk about disenfranchised voters. so in closing : fuck all dumbass bigots supporting don the con and moscow mitch mcconnell n says november 16, 2020 at 11:13 pm bravo! as an educator who has been asked by 3rd graders if trump could shoot someone and get away with it, is true or why does he call everybody horrible names. my words to them to not be a bully even though we have a president who speaks like this to everyone that doesn’t stroke his ego is exhausting. everybody should care about our youth. they see and hear all the hatefulness. for those who call yourselves christians if you know the bible it says that there are to things that the gospel is founded on love god and live your neighbor as yourself. it also says that the only ones that you are to judge are the brethren because they should know what god’s word says. however, sadly many of you choose to judge those that don’t know him. if trump is a christian then why didn’t the “evangelicals” talk to him about his racist remarks or how we are to care about others not just ourselves! dam says november 10, 2020 at 8:52 pm in 1917 1918 the world experienced a similar pandemic . over 50 million human beings died & many more disabled. the covid 19 is for real. this pandemic is providing an opportunity to keep trump from destroying our democracy & leaving us with a kim jong un hitler. maybe you are all fuzzy brained from snorting meth & adderall w/ psycho trump who is a lazy, thieving, ted bundy wanna be…… if this virus doesn’t kill you, it goes after your brain  paranoid & obese!! shalom! wild child says november 13, 2020 at 6:56 pm sounds like your happy about the pandemic……. you are a sick person . maybe you got the covid and it affected your brain… or what’s left of it at least ??? joel says november 13, 2020 at 10:20 pm you need psychiatric help. living in the physical world not the electronic one says november 15, 2020 at 1:44 am why don’t i see open graves and lines at the cemetery or the crematories working over time . i was a funeral director and i just don’t see more dying than usual. where are bodies? nov dec and jan are the biggest most busy time for us. the cemetery financial reports are not much different from previous years normal climbs. i don’t watch tv or use social media but i have eyes and i live in a city . bring out your dead is missing. anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 7:40 am you are of the devil & he is your god anonymous says november 15, 2020 at 2:04 pm did you push the caps lock button? jamie says november 16, 2020 at 4:46 am please find another source of information. saturday night live and the view are not telling you the truth. anonymous says november 10, 2020 at 9:58 pm i am with you trump is my president anonymous says november 11, 2020 at 7:51 am you sound like a conspiracy theorist. andy says november 11, 2020 at 3:53 pm you are going to get everyone any of us ever loved killed with your hate. rmwhit says november 11, 2020 at 6:19 pm well, what an amazingly moronic description of republicans  vs  democrats! my god, are you delusional! neither party has any mandate from god, nor gets to claim it. there is so much that is completely wrong in your description of what democrats have done for this country. there is no country that is governed like the us, so to compare a country like venezuela (run by an autocrat like trump wants to be) is insane. seems that the call to support the current president, as trump supporters have said we all should, doesn’t seem to apply to them now.. if you believe there is fraud in this election; prove it or shut up!! there was no widespread fraud and whether trump holds his breathe and stomps his feet to say otherwise, he lost! get over it, grow up, and like like a real american!! otherwise, pack your bags and move to russia with donald trump!! i’ll pay for your ticket!! god bless the united states of america!! katrina grammer says november 11, 2020 at 8:00 pm you are absolutely blind. this election is not over with, and if you think the trump supporters are going to roll over and allow it to be stolen then you better think again. oh, the trump supporters will not behave like the criminals on the left and riot, loot, murder and thieve in the name of what we do passionately believe in and god dear; but you can be sure we conservatives’ will stand up for our votes. noofyourbusiness says november 13, 2020 at 1:01 pm in the words of hillary clinton…….joe don’t ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, no matter what, don’t ever, ever, ever, ever concede!!! donald trump is just doing what hillary wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stephanie says november 13, 2020 at 1:25 pm hahahahaha boy, that’s the kettle calling the pot!!!! kinda like the democrats should of “got over it” when trump won in 2016?? didn’t all the democrats stop their feet and hold their breath for 4 years?? wow hypocrite much?? lol debra says november 13, 2020 at 3:36 pm i’m tired of it all, people who are trustworthy are hard to find and politicians are the worst i’m tired of illegals tired of abortions tired of black lives matter tired of of me too whatever the hell that means and tired of liberal crap they dont like trump cause he doesnt play ball nicely and he is not politically correct he is doing fine nothing is perfect not even pelosi with her phoney smile and hateful disposition and that’s worse than trump soooo anonymous says november 13, 2020 at 9:04 pm hey stupid dimwit!!! how much fkg! fraud evidence,,do you need!the election was stolen!mass,ntional fraud!,,,worthless reffugee somalians,illegally harvesting votes,for months before the race,,and admitting it in visual documentation! us postal workers dumping loads of ballots in the dumpsters!? documented! keeping poll observers from observing ballot processing across the nation in just about every state, black postal workers, setting fires to mail trucks carrying ballots,or dumping trump ballots in a wooded ravein or elsewhere,,, thousands oballots counted for biden that were intended for the president,, zach says november 15, 2020 at 8:29 pm it still amazes me to this day that liberals are trying to act like there the real super patriotic americans who are the defenders of the democratic republic when they are against everything this country stands for like how they want to abolish the 2nd amendment by only allowing shotguns and bolt action rifles which defeats the entire point of it being the ability of the citizens to overthrow a tyranny, you people hate america and everything it stands for and its disgusting cosmo says november 15, 2020 at 9:31 pm oh, we’ll get over it, but really? we’re not bad people. we are true americans. we love this country and detest what the democrats are trying to do to it. the difference between you and i is, you lead with emotion; i lead with logic. it’s not a bridge too far for you. no matter what you feel, you can’t lead with feelings. it always ends poorly. i encourage you to put the emotion aside and take the bridge to enlighten yourself. first and foremost, i can all but promise we will not burn any cities to the ground. dems torch things, republicans resurrect them. how delusional must you be think democrats have your best interests at heart? wake up! they don’t care about this country. it’s all about globalism. i you believe otherwise, you’re seriously misinformed. please educate yourself. also, if anything, please do this with an open mind. it will be a process for you, but the truth is out there (and is freely available), please seek it out. your fellow american, daniel umarov says november 17, 2020 at 10:28 pm thank you teresa swoboda says november 11, 2020 at 6:58 pm communist? the toddler in office is fire security heads and leaving this nation vulnerable to nations like russia , korea, iran and china. they will take advantage of this chaos to set to strike us. and who is call people stupid. trump is a bigot, sexist, racist narcissistic toddler; who throws a tantrum when he does not get his way. he treats the white as if he owns it and is his personal business. he is not my boss, he does not own the united states. trump is the employee of the united states citizens. we do not work for him, he works for us. but as far as i can see, he did a few things for you ding a lings to keep you supporting him, but it was for his privilege (oh, i will dumb that do for you, to benefit him). again i will dumb that down for you (benefit means he gets what he wants for himself and nobody else!) lets see has done. he wanted pennsylvania to stop counting when he was ahead, and for arizona to keep counting votes where he was behind! now who is corrupt?? i think we know who (trump)!!!!! grow up take it like an adult not a toddler. oh excuse me, you like trump, forgive me, toddlers’ brains are not that developed yet! wild child says november 13, 2020 at 7:25 pm teresa swoboda…. love the way you just gloss over how much president trump has done for this country….president trump has done waaaay more for this country in 3 1/2 years than president obama did in his 8 years . you never trumpers are soooo blinded by rage its acutualy a bit comical at times….i could list president trumps accomplishments if you like… like securing our boarders… enforcing immigration laws that are already on the books. hammering out new mca trade deals .. peace accord between isreal and palistien he also received three separate nominations for the nobel peace prize… more than obama hahahahahaha…energy independent … i could go on ….. but your rage is blinding you….you do know that rage like yours eats you up from the inside like a cancer!! good luck to you and god bless joel says november 13, 2020 at 10:23 pm theresa, see what consorting with swine does to diminish your mental capacity? toddler says november 17, 2020 at 7:02 am theresa, why don’t you go home to russia, you’re the toddler here, you’ll see, fool dr says november 18, 2020 at 6:42 am hillary failed at including the russians in our decision making ….she got caught dr says november 18, 2020 at 6:43 am is that why you leftbats abort them? andrew dickens says november 12, 2020 at 3:05 pm you are already brainwashed, you just don’t realize it. kelly says november 12, 2020 at 5:49 pm i agree whole heartly. the dems could only win by cheating!. the media is disgustingly biased and miss leading. those who cheated in the name of “biden ” will be very sorry especially when heels up harris takes over. those who think they will be cared for know nothing about communism wil be those left with nothing. you don’t work you don’t receive any thing from your government. stupid, stupid, uneducated americans. you will l be sooooo sorry when reality hits you hard. if you are useless as so many democrats are you will be left behind and destitute. george burns says november 12, 2020 at 6:35 pm trump is just a con man and he got over on 72 million idiot hahaha. t k britt says november 12, 2020 at 7:19 pm think of this also obama’ all but ruined our country and the main reason the majority voted for him was so the white man could prove he wasn’t prejudice i’m not ashamed to be born white and if the blacks don’t like it tough. none of them have ever been slaves or know anyone who’s been a slave i don’t owe them shit!!!!! cheryl lawlor says november 12, 2020 at 10:17 pm the left will blame trump for the next four years of bidens incompetency….anything that goes wrong, higher taxes, banning fracking, ridding the oil industry…whatever bad happens they will ultimately blame trump just like obama blamed bush for his failures. . draklor says november 13, 2020 at 4:23 am its funny how 20 years ago whenever someone talked about conspiracies they were laughed it. now because of 1 persons daily tirate about conspiracies half the nation buys into the garbage that trump and others spew on the news. i am an independant and not no lefty like everyone on trumps side thinks if we don’t vote for him. i actually did vote for some republicans but i did not vote for trump. trump is an egomaniac and as a world leader people should seriously be asking yourself do you truly want trump having access to our nukes when he goes into tirates on twitter over someone disagreeing with him ? yeah well he also has been getting more crazy lately . if republicans would have nominated another candidate for president i bet you we would have seen a different story . trump would not have gotten as many votes as he did. most republicans are not fooled by trump and have outright distain for him . its just they did not want biden in office. unfortunately biden is the lesser of 2 evils imo. trump is too much a tin foil wearing conspiracy nut job to be leading our country and try and dispute that because i can bring up his twitter posts to prove otherwise. doreen clapper says november 14, 2020 at 5:21 am you are a perfect example of why people hate donald trump. he literally preaches the kind of hatred that just came vomiting out of your mouth. your rantings of him, sound very much like someone who has been indoctrined into a cult. it is you that should be very careful,. psychiatrist’s around the globe have stated he has narcissistic personality disorder, of wich i’m an expert. he has so twisted your minds with pathological lying,hatred against others. a person doesn’t have to be to bright to know, when someone constantly accuses others of something,it is a psychological fact that they are guilty of that themselves. do you honestly believe that everything and everyone is a fraud and a fake and liars ? that is what a narcissist is !! a fraud, fake, liar. why do you just believe everything he says. you believe he is a christian ? then i feel sorry for you, truly,. because i’m a democrat and i am not your enemy. friendly trumper says november 14, 2020 at 4:00 pm you won’t have to accept him just learn to live with kammala (aoc puppet) harris anonymous says november 14, 2020 at 4:02 pm i post a reply and it doesn’t get printed, typical suppression make you feel at home if your home was in venuzuela despise trump says november 15, 2020 at 11:00 am i love america. socialism is not the solution our problems. but trump is evil and his telling you that biden cheated is the most anti american thing he has done. democrats called patriots xenophobes and drove patriots (like you, i am thinking) into the arms of an evil nazi demagogue. trump called the media fake news and you, being an idiot, believed him. such is the state of american politics. erik wille says november 15, 2020 at 1:01 pm it’s pathetically sad, that the democrapic party even exists, they stand for anything evil, the fall of the u.s. and will cheat, steal, threaten anyone that stands in the way of their psycho , satanic plans, if the u.s. is to continue being the strongest most powerful country past, present, future, the democrap party must be dismantled and never allowed to return, similarly to the nazi’s. anonymous says november 16, 2020 at 8:59 am if you want to be credible in your beliefs u suggest you brush up in your gramnar michelle says november 16, 2020 at 12:44 pm these biden followers are brain washed. its a cult. and a lot of people are apart of this scandal. its sad, but like you said. its common sense and yet they got none kay higdon says november 16, 2020 at 4:35 pm donald trump has never been my president. he is a murderer and a criminal hundreds of times over. cat lady says june 1, 2023 at 2:46 pm well at least he knows his business and what is bigger business than running this country at least under him we had a thriving economy, gas and groceries were affordable what drives an election comes down to this how much money do you have in your wallet at the end of the day. biden looks and acts like he belongs in the nursing home he has to have notes to speak he never nor his vice president or what i call the gigler cannot answer a question openly and honestly they hem and hah and you never get a straight forward answer and you tell me going back as far the kennedys they were and are murderers and can get away with just about everything same way with the clintons not worth a dam either and since you are so against the right thing what does that say about you not much either you must not be worth much either mary says november 17, 2020 at 6:36 am you need professional help. most cities have free mental health clinics available. please find one near you. james fabian says november 17, 2020 at 9:29 am yeah! biden is just a tool! and kamala harris? give me a break. ask her a tough question and she laughed her ass off. john gerstbrein says november 17, 2020 at 6:20 pm i agree. biden is crooked and so is his party   the lot of them. i too will not accept him now or ever as president. furthermore i believe he physically and mentally iunfit to be president. anonymous says november 17, 2020 at 11:39 pm amen lisa reeves says november 18, 2020 at 11:56 am i agree. biden and especially that ignorant harris will never have my respect as the leader of this country because there will no longer be the great nation of america! we will be a 3rd world country! no guns, no god, no beef, no more constitutional rights as americans! how in the hell can anyone with one brain cell want them. i know 80 million americans that don’t and will not stand for a stolen election! bob says november 7, 2020 at 9:26 pm i read the comments from “the left” with interest and amusement. one guy says he owns 50+ guns. another says that biden is a middle of the road dem, blah blah blah. let’s all check back in a few years after beto is appointed gun czar and see how many of those guns he still owns. then we’ll check on the price of gas after fracking is banned and we rejoin the paris douchebaggery. then we’ll check on our march towards socialism after uncle joe is removed (either due to incapacity or corruption (what???…the media started covering hunter/china/ukraine/mayor of moscow???!!!)). komrade kamala will be in power. obama gave us trump. what will harris get us? i have a feeling there is an unbelievable red surge coming (as in republican) in four years. bury those guns, boys! in god we trust. unouno says november 9, 2020 at 9:49 am boo hoo victorpowers says november 9, 2020 at 3:41 pm you can’t take something you can’t find. uoh no says november 10, 2020 at 8:27 am good, well thought out, intellectusl “left” comeback. good thing we have people like you and social media to help stoke your pettiness 😊 guy north says november 10, 2020 at 8:49 am were in the world do they find you pathetic ignorant fools. this nonsense with the second amendment that you sick fools carry on about. any constitutional amendments take an act of congress, go back to grade school to understand how this nation works! trump is a fraud, as are you not to see through that translucent orange. virl alan strong says november 17, 2020 at 1:31 pm how many acts of congress did it take president obama to circumvent our existing immigration laws? guy north says november 10, 2020 at 8:49 am we’re in the world do they find you pathetic ignorant fools. this nonsense with the second amendment that you sick fools carry on about. any constitutional amendments take an act of congress, go back to grade school to understand how this nation works! trump is a fraud, as are you not to see through that translucent orange. debra says november 13, 2020 at 3:43 pm ignorant or not there entitled tobe ignorant if they want. there is no law against ignorant last time i checked except by folks who think they are intelligent wild child says november 13, 2020 at 7:31 pm your not paying attention gary…. wake up gary… jerry b says november 17, 2020 at 1:28 pm even if biden decided to be a honest man which will not happen any way he wont be able to because communist china and the democrates own him because of his dirty dealings with communist china the billion and a half dollars that china gave to joe biden his son hunter and joe biden will always be hanging over joe biden head so china and the leftist in america will leverage against joe biden and they will be the one pulling the strings in the usa from now on and what surprises me is how america went along to our own fall like sheep to allow such a great country. to fall michael lowe says november 9, 2020 at 8:03 pm jesus warned us about the sheep ! sheep are dumb too !! ryan says november 10, 2020 at 1:18 pm considering that you remain in a slight minority (there are more democrats than republicans)… just what is your plan when things don’t go your way? you say you are “burying guns”. there is far too much talk of violence on the right these days. you do not have “more” of a right to america than anyone else. and certainly not any more (or less) than democrats. stephanie says november 13, 2020 at 1:30 pm uh ryan what rock you been under last 4 years??? who the hell you think has been rioting and burning down the cities? i’m always so shocked at what hypocrites the left is! 😂 james says november 15, 2020 at 3:24 am the left doesn’t want america. they hate america and think they can do better. it’s disturbing they’re not very smart mark says november 11, 2020 at 7:00 am hateful jerk get real trump is a certifiable sociopath ! i don’t hate no one ! but i know people like trump and they all scare the hell out of me ! he , like you give true meaning to the phrase ; it’s hard to win an argument against a smart person , but , it’s impossible to win an argument against a stupid person ! rmwhit says november 11, 2020 at 6:25 pm wow, the same lie about grabbing our guns!! i am not worried!! supposedly, obama was going to come get our guns. i watched my republican friends go crazy buying ammo and guns… now they have more than they need, cause, nobody came for their guns. i canceled my nra membership because of the frantic lies about the impending horror. just a lobby for the gun manufacturers and a way for wayne lapierre to steal more money!! no thanks, i’m not buying it!! and, i will still keep mu weapons! anonymous says november 13, 2020 at 9:04 pm can never have to much wild child says november 13, 2020 at 7:35 pm amen bob…….amen and god bless you sir doreen clapper says november 14, 2020 at 5:27 am i don’t think jesus would be very happy with the way you and donald trump talk, you should all be ashamed to speak god’s name at the same time your spreading hatred among your fellow man. anonymous says november 14, 2020 at 6:24 am 😊 anonyomous says november 7, 2020 at 12:13 pm firstly, imagine waking up everyday being attacked by the leftist media/politicians, no president in the history of this country has been attacked the way trump has. now imagine trying to constantly defend yourself while trying to run a country, the amount he has accomplished all while being in and out of court battles and impeachment trials, defending his way through false coups is honestly rather remarkable. love him or hate him he did a great job, now i’m not here saying hes was perfect by an stretch of the imagination but what president was i’m only saying that if he wasn’t constantly pushed up against the wall things could have played out a lot better for him and us as americans. now what we as americans need to do is come together and take down the lying, divisive, left or right leaning news channels/media, their job is to report facts not fabricated stories to side with their political agendas. unouno says november 9, 2020 at 9:52 am great job? what color is the sky in your world vector powers says november 9, 2020 at 3:43 pm dude, you are a contrary curmudgeon looking for a fight. you might get one. anonymous says november 9, 2020 at 11:18 pm going to be all indian colored sky and all our holdings and businesses too former kool aid drinker says november 10, 2020 at 7:24 am even the most brainwashed kool aid drinking liberal can’t argue with facts as far as the job president trump did fantastic i would hold it up against any president in recent years mya glubpanny says november 9, 2020 at 11:09 pm indeed. liberals don’t seem to realize they have been brainwashed in the universities, or else, the craven naacp has convinced them they will be fired from their jobs if they disagree with black activist fiats. anonymous says november 10, 2020 at 1:27 am im ready just say the word. i believe the job president trump did was totally outstanding while dealing with stupid bullshit that never should’ve been allowed in any court since they were nothing but made up fariey tales. my how nancy pelosky can put on a show.. but i have to admit we are the ones that are not so bright. because as they made up all these lies and kept our eyes gluedn and wondering what there going to do to the president next. while they knew they had us busy that’s when that want to be dr. (but dropped out of medical school ) was ready for his part in there sick game. oh he has so much money he helps so many. no people, yes he has so much money but i hear some say he gives to charity alot? well surprise! there his charities that he created so he gives nobody any money. and these vaccines that they say will be manditory. of course and what’s gates say about that? his statement, as long as the vaccines go well we will depopulate quickly. and there’s no way in hell these eleite people would vote for a man who couldn’t even remember the name of the pandemic the world is dealing with. so yep it’s rigged and we’re in huge trouble….even all u lefties, they got what they needed from u all so don’t expect any special attention. now u jus h marett says november 10, 2020 at 1:24 pm vent people. vent!!! ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. feel better now ?????? bm says november 12, 2020 at 4:11 pm looks like you are too jack!!!!! john brick says november 10, 2020 at 7:00 pm our faith in god is being tested as we wait with extreme anguish as we watch the marxist leftists try to fit their crowns on their evil heads and already plan to reverse all the good things trump miraculously accomplished for our country, and they now gleefully renew their path for the anti christ and our nation’s destruction. jesus where are you??!! show us the proof of all the massive voter fraud by the lying deceiving demons now please!! don’t let this happen to your people and your christian country!!!!! sick of it says november 12, 2020 at 10:11 pm you’re speech was just as much drama as trump. he was a rich spoiled child that could never keep his big boy pants on. he was always throwing temper tantrums and would loose control of himself. the same prayer that you say put him in took him out! now isn’t that funny? oh says november 13, 2020 at 3:59 pm i’m so glad you can spell smart pants mike hawk says november 16, 2020 at 2:47 pm all you republicans talk about is god the united states isn’t a christian country tammie says november 11, 2020 at 10:50 am agree 100%. people who dispute this use the same rhetoric time and time again ‘he’s racist, homophobe, liar’ blah blah blah….prove it! oh wait, when they go to google it they get all of the same crap from the liberal main stream media and when they tune into cnn, all they get is more liberal options. cnn is simply an opinion show, they do not report real news or the truth….unless it fits their agenda. all libs and dems wise every name in the book towards us, however if we were to say something (or vote) differently than them….we are also racist, homophobes….again, blah blah blah! president trump has done more for our country than they will ever know because they cant handle the truth! rmwhit says november 11, 2020 at 6:27 pm what?! donald trump has been the instigator in every dustup he was involved in. he acts like a dictator and attacks anyone who has a contrary opinion! completely un american!! aac says november 15, 2020 at 5:05 pm obama was attacked by citizen trump. he may not realize it now, but i would wager that some publisher is compiling every tweet he ever wrote, categorize them including all of the filthy language and personal attacks, all of the firings of personnel he himself chose; and they will publish the sentiments from a large hosts republicans who urged people not to vote for him. someone will also make note of the negative books on him by bolton, cohen, and his own niece. none of these people were leftists democrats. then the judges he placed in the supreme court have already rendered decisions against him. kavanaugh and roberts are not leftists democrats. they are leaning toward upholding obamacare. and, trump will not likely run again in 2020 because he may be the first president sent to prison sent by those judges in new york the he chose. you can talk all you want to but your boy is a mess! who would want to be in his shoes? no wonder he can’t talk about losing. what is he going to say? you can emote all you want but your boy is getting whopped. falcon says november 5, 2020 at 2:22 pm usual republican retoric insults i get so sick of that, all you do is insult and smear the other party while claiming to be the victim. keep in mind i am no democrat im an independant, we shouldnt be the other side is the complete enemey work together. this country was built on working together not tearing each other down seperation of powers is very important prevents any one party from going to far, and i get this is not you but you wonder why all media attacks trump he has basicly made them public enemy number 1 sence day one that makes enemies just saying anonymous says november 6, 2020 at 12:26 am the media and corrupt swamp have came after this man before he stepped foot in white house.from every angle they fought him.accused him.can you imagine if they would have just worked with him some.no instead of doing there job.,what we pay them to do.they continued on there demonic attacks.we all know why thry fought him.they are all corrupt thieves and they knew this man said he would do what promised and look what he accomplished.the promise that scared all of them the most.thry knew he would “drain the swamp”they would all be exposed for all the money laundering and trailtor politics.i hope thrle swamp is drained and they go from there palaces straight to prison where they belong.and the media should be ashamed.you watch this country turn into a shit hole like all the dem ran cities.they lied and sold you all down the river while they continue to get filthy rich.you all get what you deserve.the worst part of it all.you voted in a man that is obviously not capable of doing the job.we all see it.so you sold your country down the road for a vote against donald trump not a vote for biden.pitiful.some patriots you all are.be sure and check bidens tax returns ,he was so concerned over trumps.ask him how on his income and his fake ta. returns did he go from broke and a second mortgage to owning multi million dollar properties.we all know how that happened to.also ask him about his character.its so outstanding.do you think anybody believes that.he has no shame and they will throw him to the wolves as soon as they get rid of what they used him for.the strings of tne puppet will be cut.he will get what he deserves at that pointeverybody with a partial brain knows the laptop and everything in it is real.i love the fact its all coming out and when most of you that voted for him wake up from your kool  aid drunk you will see what you voted in to run the usa.things have a way of showing there face.i hope everyone involved in the whole scam pays the price.ask joe about his integrity that he always talks about.oh im sorry the media was paid off and if not paid you didnt have the balls to stand up and do your job.you will all be looking for jobs anyway because you idiots were pawns also.i hope all of you are washing dishes to pay your way.congrats america.you will go down as the biggest played idiots by the elites to use you all as pawns to accomplish there goals. you ask for it.you got it! nohellno says november 6, 2020 at 12:07 pm i will never accept a senile serial groper and a sel proclaimed communists as the president and vice president of our country. no! hell no! anonymous says november 9, 2020 at 7:35 am and most of us sane americans, unlike you cult members, have never able to accept a sexist, racial hating bigot who has no respect whatsoever for women, including his own daughter and his wife. a man who has gone bankrupt 5 times and has respect for the financial organizations that have stuck out their necks to save his ass. conservative biker says november 10, 2020 at 7:40 am well bankruptcy is a legal option most businesses have failed at least 1 chapter 11 reorganization. i am a professional woman married,children,very successful, very well educated. i don’t find trump offensive in any way. what i do find offensive however is kamala harris who rightfully attacked the molester biden while they were running against each other for being what he is, a touchy, feely molester.in my mind that’s not really respecting women not to mention the little girls. and while we’re at it why don’t we talk about how much respect democrats in general have for women unless they’re not the right kind of women say one that is conservative or one that is young and impressionable and taken advantage of by a much older sophisticated commander in chief. that woman doesn’t deserve to be believed and is villified and disrespected. no thank you. i was a active member of the democrat cult. i finally got sick of the sick, mean, horrible people who hate babies and boo god. anonymous says november 10, 2020 at 5:08 pm you got beat in the election in 2016 russia helped you (so lock him up ) he locked up children in a cage and had some country kill our usa soilders in syria look him up lock him up folks he’s mentally ill lt says november 10, 2020 at 7:42 pm biden is a racist hating bigot, which is why i did not vote him. now shut up and eat your corn pops. lah says november 13, 2020 at 12:32 pm i don’t know if he’s a racist or just pandering to them but he has shown his sexism. to support someone who brags about grabbing women by the crotch and watching pageant contestants getting dressed and then complain about biden is obvious hypocrisy that should be untenable to anyone who chooses to think rather than just do as they told. toni barnett says november 9, 2020 at 9:00 pm really? you already have accepted one for the past 4 years. remember the audio tape? grab them by the pussy! yeah! that was your current president here and now. the biden stuff has been made up by republicans. and if you are a christian please get down on your knees and pray for forgiveness!!!! and remember trump said if he killed someone on 5th avenue and you folks would still vote for him because as he said ya are just too dumb. are you? dumb that is? read something that is down the middle of the news media. robert says november 10, 2020 at 6:16 pm keep fighting for republicans to keep the senate and for s gop candidate to run in 2024. we can’t let aoc and omar have their way! they want to shove progressive socialism down our throats! biden will reverse everything trump did and return us to an obama like state. the godless young people hate trump with a passion because he is against equality, women’s rights, lgbtq rights. well america, your day of reckoning is coming. god is still king of the universe. robert says november 10, 2020 at 6:18 pm it’s no longer make america great again, it’s make america worse again. anonymous says march 9, 2022 at 11:58 pm ok homophobe debra says november 13, 2020 at 3:47 pm come on most men are serial gropers and and i sure you could find some women as well come on says november 13, 2020 at 3:55 pm now tell me you think he is the only groper in politics hmm mj says november 6, 2020 at 2:28 pm hey anonymous, you just proved the left’s point as to how ignorant you trump supporters are. look at what you wrote: misspellings, incorrect english, no spaces between sentences, no punctuation. thanks for validating what we already knew about the ignorance of trump supporters. hey, how about this? you all talk about how government shouldn’t be in our lives. what is trump doing? he had the nerve to demand they stop counting votes. really? is he now a dictator? oh, i forgot, he always believed he was. kc says november 8, 2020 at 11:15 pm your just an asshole! an indoctrinated over educated yet dumber than owlshit asshole! you don’t have a clue what your talking about. socialism has never worked! when you realize that you don’t get to be a member of the elite ruling class and you can’t find toilet paper, it will be too late! hillary and obama and biden and pelosi says november 10, 2020 at 2:14 am we’ll get free toilet paper when we turn you into the reeducation camps. hope you like using your hands! chris g says november 11, 2020 at 1:11 pm an asshole who cannot spell and is proud of his stupidity. “over educated…blah,blah.” it’s just hilarious to watch the most uneducated in this country ‘slam’ others for their edumacation!! it’s like we’re dumb and proud of it. joe biden has never and will never be a communist. that’s just fantastical thinking. i’m personally shocked that 70= million are so brainwashed, they actually believe the shit coming out of this mans mouth. the whiner in cheif is finished. deal with it!! rmwhit says november 11, 2020 at 6:30 pm wow, kc, such an erudite response! i assume you live in a trailer somewhere and are married to your sister… typical trump cult member! enjoy your insanity! anonymous says november 17, 2020 at 10:31 pm wow conspiracy theorist much? michael merrill says november 17, 2020 at 10:35 pm francis bellamy (1855   1931) was the author of the u.s. pledge of allegiance and socialist baptist minister who believed strongly in the separation of church and state. anonymous says november 8, 2020 at 11:22 pm i am a true independent. having said that, biden supporters are far more ignorant. they were fooled into believing biden represented peace and equality. biden is a dixiecrat. he wrote and supported some of the most blatant racially motivated polices in u.s. history. it’s all public record. the 1994 violent crime act isn’t even the worst example, which he wrote. his support of the 1986 and 1988 drug act should disqualify anyone running for president. those acts were written and supported to incarcerate minorities. first time possession for crack was mandatory jail time, but not for powder. five grams of crack got you a five year mandatory sentence, but it took five hundred or more grams of powder cocaine to get the five year mandatory sentence. which ethnic groups do you think were more likely to use crack? so what is more ignorant, someone who misspells and doesn’t use correct punctuation, or someone who knows nothing about the candidate they support to govern them? l. gardner says november 11, 2020 at 12:54 pm honestly, this interests me. i grew up on 5th ave. and we were all aware of president trump ,he was not president then, but i don’t think any were too surprised he became the president. he was always this larger than life figure, surrounded by luxury, envied by most. i just might interject and say that his ideology and biden’s history are very similar. i am not afraid to admit i did vote for him, but it was more of knowing that there would be someone in office that understood the upper class, and didn’t want to punish us for it. anonymous says november 9, 2020 at 11:38 am that all you got you turd lethl says november 9, 2020 at 10:04 pm you and some of the others on here can hardly wait to throw a little hate and call names. you are so childish!. i don’t like joe biden, and i did not vote for him, but at least he is urging all of us to tone down the rhetoric. his words are totally lost on a lot of you here. vector powers says november 9, 2020 at 3:44 pm perfect example of what the article talks about. perfect. anonymous says november 9, 2020 at 3:54 pm the left cheated and their evil will be shown to the world. they are anti american. they demonized trump because he is a threat to their luxurious life style paid for by the american citizens. no need to vote anymore cause main stream media and dems already decided who will win. i read that nancy pelosi’s husband is in charge of the election software. chill kootpass says november 12, 2020 at 6:34 pm i read that you studiously circled ex president dump’s rectum with your tongue picking out and thoroughly relishing bits of peanut and corn along the way. is it true? because i don’t believe everything i read… anonymous says november 10, 2020 at 11:48 am excuse me but if you are going to insult someone on grammar, please know that the standard is two spaces after a period or question mark. it is not that hard. try it. greg says november 13, 2020 at 6:12 pm showing your age there. in the age of word processors, the two spaces after a period rule is no longer used oh, and the age thing wasn’t an insult. i learned to type on a typewriter too. peace! 🙂 god sees all says november 10, 2020 at 11:58 am mj, sir i must say you hit the nail on the head. you said what needed to be said, but so many blinded trump supporters refuse to see that this man was the catalyst that divided this country. he made people comfortable with being openly racist, supported the racial hate groups and lacked empathy/remorse for those who lost loved ones to covid 19. how can one support a man who lacks compassion, empathy, integrity, equality for all, lack care for our troops/ veterans, human life, families and doing what’s right for americans as a whole? when people don’t see a problem with an issue it is because they are apart of the problem. they are supporting a man who lacks respect on all levels. he is a very sick individual, narcissistic, racist, a liar, a con artist, a fake, clueless and a clown 🤡 you have to be a special kind of fool to support anyone that showed no remorse for those that died of covid 19, or from racism. i never once heard him address either issue in a respectful or compassionate way. he only cares for self and for those of you that love his dirty drawers he could give two 🤬 about you. i mean all of you must evidently share the same traits. which means you must be racist, lack remorse for human lives, harbor hate in your hearts for your fellow man, and just heartless. people never understand until they experience what is happening to others. karma is is very real. you will definitely reap what you sow. i will never follow, or praise no one, but god and jesus! they are the head of my life. i do what’s pleasing in his sight. because guess what this world we live in is simply a stage and we are all puppets; this place is temporary! this is not our home! i glorify no man, but god! so, my plan is to see his face while you all are praising and idolizing an ungodly man. he is a man that will lie. we have all seen and heard him on tv. but god is not a man who will lie and most of you claim to love god and call yourselves christians🙄 matthew 7:3 5 3. and why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4. or how wilt thou say to thy brother, let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5. thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. p.s. think before you spit your words out. life and death is in the power of the tongue. would you rather be judged by god, or a simple, imperfect man? because we all fail god daily! 😏😉 read ten commandments again! says november 12, 2020 at 1:29 pm wow! what a bible scholar?? you are picking and choosing what you believe in the bible! take notice, the bible is the inspired word of god which means no matter how popular killing babies is in our world today, its always wrong in the eyes of our god! how can one call themselves a christian and quote scripture and then vote for a politician who supports killing babies? watch out for false prophets in these last days. go back and read the bible, god sees all! you will be held accountable for who you vote for. go back and read the 10, not 9 commandments!!!! read ten commandments again! says november 13, 2020 at 11:18 am are you a bible scholar? not! apparently you only read nine of the ten commandments! what about thy shall not kill? just like all liberals, you pick and choose according to what you want to believe. how can you quote scripture? you should be ashamed of yourself! beware of false prophets in these last days! a true christian will never support a political candidate that supports taking a life! everyone will be held accountable for every vote cast! how can you? oh my gosh! wow! what a sad case! re you joking? really? bless your heart! cosmo says november 15, 2020 at 9:38 pm the division happened well before trump….try 8+ years. not matter what you think, obama did this. he ripped the band aids off. shame on you for attributing this to trump. you’re just wrong. it was here well before this. if i had a son…please. connie says november 10, 2020 at 10:58 pm i love you prissy right fighters; people who worry about how someone spells and punctuation. i am dictating this so how the words are spelled or the punctuation is, i don’t claim responsibility. why don’t you worry about the subject at hand and stop being so smug and self serving? you really need to do some research. i researched every single candidate prior to the election and i also researched every single spouse. i was surprised at what iearned. by the way, when i said spouse this ipad wrote sprouts, the i corrected it, but there times i do not bother. hope that meets with your approval. i am not writing the great american novel. this is the internet. brad jillespie says november 11, 2020 at 4:35 pm brilliant response mj ! i’m guessing from your comment that you are a superior intellect, and hence the collective grouping together of trump supporters as ignorant, because one person has bad spelling and some questionable grammar: what more could one ask for as evidence of a very intelligent person? and of course, trump was a dictator   just because low iq morons like yourself decide he is. here’s a perfect example of how well thought out your comment, and your judgement is   the specious trope that trump is a dictator. this is a common theme among leftwing idiots, without any proof whatsoever. its just easy to say, and has impact, even though devoid of any intellectual substance. you are a perfect example of a leftwing moron. bm says november 12, 2020 at 4:04 pm to mj, you are a complete idiot. you’ll see one day soon. will pray for you my friend. joel says november 13, 2020 at 10:37 pm oh sure, we’ll overlook the creeping (pun intended) dementia that corrupt joe biden exhibits while china owns all the crackhead tapes. linda says november 14, 2020 at 9:48 pm that’s funny whenever i read comments in any kind of forum it’s usually the left that doesn’t know how to construct a sentence, use proper english, constantly swear, and doesn’t know how to use punctuation. most of their comments come across like rabid dogs snarling and spewing saliva all over the place. you also talk about ignorance yet you don’t even know that the president is within his rights to request an injunction to have the vote count halted on those ballots that came in after election day. fyi. democrats went into court before the election to try and get signature verification as well as postmarks eliminated on ballots. steven everett says november 6, 2020 at 4:49 pm the left came after trump because he entered the white house with a background of corruption (trump university, the atlantic city casinos debacle) and the hateful things he says about women, african americans and others, all heard live and caught on tape. this man declares bankruptcy to get out of paying his bills and continues to live an uber rich lifestyle. this is not “fake news” but a matter of public record before he ever announced running for office. he has a history. he’s not edgy, he’s not “real”, and he’s not an outsider: he’s corrupt. his actions as president have proven that. you keeps you off his scent by accusing everyone around him of doing what he’s been doing. the right doesn’t want to hear it so they plug their ears and go “la la la la la     fake news!’ there are problems on the left but we can’t even begin to address them or take you seriously until you stop chasing the false threats he keeps throwing at you. instead, you display the traits of cultists, believing whatever your cult leaders feed you and your opinions can’t be trusted. vector powers says november 9, 2020 at 3:45 pm just out of curiosity, what did he say about “african americans”? anonymous says november 10, 2020 at 1:14 pm i attempt to find these “on record racist/sexist remarks”, but can’t. ?? there are many things trump has said that are insensitive to special interest groups, but not overtly racist or beyond egotistical, locker room like, macho talk (allegations of sexist remarks). i just can’t find the proof that millions of leftists are pointing to.  likewise i don’t see the proof that biden is hair sniffing groper.  just lots of well angled/timed pics. i will continue to judge both sides of the horrible, biased media coverage and cast my vote accordingly. hopefully others do the same. mr fixit says november 11, 2020 at 1:01 am this is absolutely fabricated. trump never declared bankruptcy, he declared chap 11, which is restructuring. one of which involved atlantic city in which all the hotels declared chap 11 bankruptcy protection because the entire of atlantic city has lost revenues due to casinos being built in nyc and no one wants to travel so far anymore. the place is a total ghost town. so dishonest to single out trump. bankruptcy protection is not bankruptcy, it is restructuring debts to prevent bankruptcy. meanwhile all of other trumps properties are known to be the elite of hotels and are doing just fine and they are very profitable for over two decades. you fail to mention the horrible ceos and managers who actually chap 7 bankrupted publicly traded companies that work on the left, as well as all of the investors who operate with their democratic cronies to fleece working people and replace americans with h1b indian workers. those guys are ok yea? mr fixit says november 11, 2020 at 1:06 am and your idiot leaders commit fraud and censor the entire internet through crony and monopolistic practices. did anyone ever notice that 5 of the mainstream media outlets are billionaire oligarchs, who just incidentally have a personal rift with trump. that scumbag bezos who pays his workers $7 in a pandemic and is bankrupting the post office is so busy using his washington post to spew anti trump rants on a 24×7 basis just because he doesnt want his amazon postage pricing to go up and to curry favor with washington. just remember it was the scumbags on the left that are corrupting the dc establishment with their oligarchic corporatist collusion. i will let you mull over the fact that the democrats also cheated bernie sanders twice! and while you clueless morons pine over some minor bs crap that trump has done, your putz savior biden is making speeches about healing the nation meanwhile he never once mentioned ubi, free medicare for all during a pandemic, and cancelling rent. enjoy your crappy new president, dont call me when everyone is evicted on the street. oh wait biden already evicted millions in 2009 into the street, and with no stimulus checks to boot. hurray you won! joel says november 13, 2020 at 10:39 pm boo hoo hoo. poor stevie baby. julie says november 6, 2020 at 6:38 pm amen! frank says november 9, 2020 at 12:38 pm i’ll second that. the republicans have closed their eye,, ears and brain to this evil, wanna be, dictator. former protester says november 10, 2020 at 7:55 am i wish i could say as a former life long democrat that you will get what you deserve because socialism does not work if you can give me an example i would be ever so grateful to see it. i have 2 sisters that are still drinking the kool aid otherwise intelligent women and they are so hateful and so full of anger all the time. its sad. anonymous says november 10, 2020 at 11:57 am name one thing he did that reminds you of a dictator? cookinglady says november 7, 2020 at 3:30 am omg. right on! i’m waiting for the taxes to hit, for the freebies they think they get, for china to make minced meat out of that old bastard. harris is sitting on the side just waiting for this greedy fool to die with the brotherhood muslim association right behind harris with the money and agenda of their own. senate won’t let her or that squad get very far at all. wait till the economy breaks due to their complete mishandling of covid. and the same old crap from msm and google , facebook and twitter. watch out folks. gates coming after you all with his progressive new vaccines. mandatory if he gets his way. check out his interests in vaccinations around the world and his idea of a perfect world with far far far less of us in it. if they push their nwo even more on you you’ll see your money gone into government controlled cards. no more cash. you’ll be traced even more. what a brave you marxist world with agenda this agenda that. research it. progressive, sustainable, eco friendly. you’ve been sold a bill of horse poop. and you’re intelligence agencies now are all so corrupt so filthy they only serve to protect the swamp. murders, lies , money laundering via foundations like the clinton or biden are just fronts. and you eat up the lies every hour every day and now you have a fixed election, you know it the works knows it and the swamp is protected. obamas, clinton’s, now bidens and many in congress. all protected. can’t touch them. that’s why they hate trump. he’s not bought. not obligated to anyone and he loves this country and for that he must be removed . i hope you all payed attention because you had the last 4 years of a great economy for everyone. it won’t come again. they will screw it all up again but this time i don’t think we can pull ourselves out again. not until the people take back their country ,their rights , and become far far less apathetic and lazy. when i think of all that died that we might have real freedom unlike anything any peoples have ever had in all of human history and a bunch of idiots threw it away for food stamps or whatever they promised you. . you deserve all you’re about to suffer. get your moral compasses back or expect to live in a very controlled world. you gave away your power. for hates sake. how stupid can you get. i would rather have a unpolished man than a snake for a leader. good luck to you all. it’s you’re time , you’re responsibility. my generation paid and meet theirs. he tried to warn you. remember that. he tried. anonymous says november 8, 2020 at 11:47 pm you are exactly right! anything for free comes with a huge price tag! i knew there were ignorant stupid people but the magnitude is beyond anything i could imagine! the amount of corruption exposed and just stupidity from coast to coast!!!! want answer says november 11, 2020 at 10:40 am i don’t understand how democrat’s think they are going to pay for what they talk about. i cannot get a clear answer. emily says november 9, 2020 at 12:46 pm did your mama ever tell you “it is better to keep your mouth shut and let everyone think you are stupid, than to open it and leave no doubt”? she should have and your daddy should have told you to find out the facts, not what people like trump and his stupid fans say. cookinglady take some critical thinking classes .wise up! vector powers says november 9, 2020 at 3:46 pm maybe you should take less school and get a job. tell it like it is says november 10, 2020 at 12:37 pm omg, emily thank you for telling it like it is. you deserve a standing ovation. some people don’t realize that loose lips sink ships. trumps mouth is not shaped like a bible. heck, he couldn’t even hold it correctly (lmao). i am so glad that we serve an all seeing god. “to bankrupt a fool, give him information.” i must say you did exactly that! fools allow their loyal to make a fool of them. they need to remember this! ⭐️matthew 7:3 5 3. why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4. how can you say to your brother, ‘let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5. you hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. kay says november 10, 2020 at 7:56 am great post, cookinglady! it was spot on! former zombie says november 10, 2020 at 8:02 am yes!!! you nailed it. unfortunately liberals will never admit to the truth. i’m sad for our country. i was once a born democrat. my entire family is. i finally stopped blindly following the matching orders from the left. now i am truly free and happy. mr trump is a true patriot. chris g says november 11, 2020 at 1:20 pm a lot of rambling accusations, no links to prove any of it. “socialism”. that’s laughable. the richest 59 people in america have assets equaling $35 trillion fucking dollars! the bottom 160 million have assets equaling under $3 trillion. so who are the socialists again? the corporate elites (including commander chaos) have rigged and used the tax laws to rob the entire country blind for the past 50 years, and nitwits like you are bitching about people who need food stamps to survive. the brainwashing that started before most here were born, is complete. fully half the country would rather believe a lie, than face the truth. john says november 15, 2020 at 2:29 am your kidding right? you would toss the country in the garbage so you can suck somebody’s thing? trump is rude and sarcastic but he does what he said he would do and has helped us become energy independent. i remember 1973 and the gas lines and being dependent on the middle east for oil. oil is used not just for cars n trucks but a whole array of products like medicine, plastics, solvents, heat etc etc california can’t make enough electricity to power the ac during summer now add 20 million electric cars that need 220 to 440 volts to charge with thousands of watts each. a honda gen. doesn’t produce enough power to charge your car as you cannot get more energy than you put in. your in fantasy land! wait till you have the technology before you put us back in the dark ages mike says november 16, 2020 at 1:32 pm we really are doomed when there’s actual people who think like you. literally everything you said is backwards. i can’t fathom how anyone can believe a single thing out of trumps mouth, yet alone millions of people. he is such an extreme obvious fake, yet here you are echoing his lies as fact. he uses projection with every single thing he does, this means he projects onto his perceived enemies all the things he’s doing. his followers, especially the ones like cooking lady, are the real problem because without his mindless supporters he’’d have no power. you and your ilk will not stop until we all have no constitution left. how can you all be so incredibly blind????? joblow says november 7, 2020 at 9:42 pm agree 100%! they scream cheating and all the other nasty filthy crap that come from they’re nasty pie holes when they have not one ballot or one single piece of voter fraud! now, let’s turn the tables! all you see are people on the left burning president trump’s ballots, thousands of ballots mysteriously showing up over night when we all went to bed pulling dirty demon c rats closer and closer when the president was up by 100s of thousands of votes! no nothing to see here folks, just go on now and bury your heads in the sand we got this! how many states have shown thousands of ballots from dead people, cats dogs, and even people voting 20 30 times, none of these are votes for the president though, all are for these stupid corrupt lying disgusting disgraceful demon c rats! and the msm backs it all up with their sorry disgusting disgraceful disinformation! they always accuse everyone who disagrees with them of the exact same sorry ass things their actually doing!! they’ve been doing this now for decades! to think i used to be a member of one of these sellouts still hurts me to this day! i’m and independent and i am fully awake… and to be honest, millions of people who also used to be democrats also left the party, the only ones that’s left are the lying msm, helly wood actors (not all), people still asleep, and the worse of the bunch, people who sold out to george soros money like blm and antifa, that’s all they have left and that’s why they cheat and lie and use their satanic msm’s disinformation which needs to be and should be destroyed and never allowed to be on the airways because they are the biggest problem not only for real american people, but the world! our forefathers (god rest their souls) left the corrupt eu to get away from these control freaks, fought many battles and wars so we could remain free from their tyrannical rule of satanists., only to be followed. now we as sons of our great forefathers have to either stop these ass holes now, or we will fall to them sooner not later especially if we just lay down for this sham of an election! let me tell you just how corrupt they’ve become and the hate they have for president trump and see if you too have noticed this! when trying to type anything on any comment forums or social media, every time when i type president it always brings up the next word that you use the most when you type that word. now i have rarely ever typed the last so called presidents name because of the traitor and liar he was. on the other hand, i’ve typed “president trump” thousands of times, thousand’s! yet every time i type president it always pulls up the next word as that “lying monkey man sorry excuse for a human, well, you know who he is” but it will never pull up our president trump, knowing good and well that’s almost going to be 100% the name that i’m going to type next, but they won’t ever pull it up!! now how much of a nazi do you have to be, to be that damn disgusting and basically, jealous of a real man like president trump! try it for yourselves and see if it’s just me or are these people (if we can even call them people) this damn petty! if the real numbers of the election were to be known (and i don’t think they will) i’d bet president trump would win 5 to 1 easy! we have got to stop these dems from their evil ways and preferably thrown out of the country along with their msm and george soros sellots with them never to be allowed back here, but then they’d just cause more and more trouble from afar. so, what do we do with these traitors to our republic? lock em up guatamala, for life with an allowance of one thousand dollars a year for food and crap? because a us prison is just too good for these people and a public hanging would also be to easy imo, so, what do we do to fix this once and for all? anything other than these people out and never allowed back is no fix and no choice, and anything but death and or prison would ever be adequate! just think, what would our forefathers do? i think we know what they’d do back in the day of our first president. what about back in 1850, or 1900, or 1950? linda says november 9, 2020 at 1:12 pm no proof, just more lies from the filthy trump liars. kay says november 10, 2020 at 8:18 am they’re finding proof. actually, just the actions of some of these poll workers and the fact that in pa they ignored the laws on the books by not allowing republican poll watchers to be there and allowing 3 extra days for ballots shows there were some shady dealings going on. it’s kind of pathetic and disgusting to call 70 plus million people filthy liars, but the left seems so blinded by hate. sad. joel says november 13, 2020 at 10:44 pm i know you are, but what am i? anonymous says november 10, 2020 at 10:10 pm do some research on the history of the national socialist (nazi) party which many of our parents and grandparents fought & died to defeat. the nazi’s weren’t left but right wing you uneducated internet conspiracy reading idiot, trump has more in common with hitler than the great abraham lincoln. lest us compare: 1. holds rallies to bolster his faithful followers. 2. has his own private stormtroopers (proud boys, etc. 3. like hitler attacked the media from day one to sow mistrust. 4. has his own personal propaganda network. 5. demonized his opponents or those who disagree with his views. 6. hitler blamed the jews & trump blamed the hispanics. etc. & so on…please spare me any comparisons of the left to nazi’s when it looks more like the right. joel says november 13, 2020 at 10:46 pm you hide behind anonymous because nothing but feces spews forth every time you open your mouth to defend the indefensible left. mije says november 16, 2020 at 1:36 pm trump is the scum of the earth, and your inability to see that is dangerous. you and your ilk are true scum, supporting such an obvious fake. how convenient to call all his lies fake news. anonymous says november 7, 2020 at 11:27 pm wow… i got to say i read the whole thing. a bit wordy but i think you hit most everything. except the fact that you resize you just voted kamala harris as the president of the untied states. count your blessings if biden even makes it to inauguration. maggie says november 8, 2020 at 5:19 am well said! the fight is not over yet. i still have faith in trump that he will win the case in court. it’s so obvious there’s election fraud. sandra says november 8, 2020 at 3:56 pm if you had followed each state and how they chose to count it would be obvious. ballots counted first generally were democrat as mr trump discouraged republicans from mailing. he had this whole fraud thing he was orchestrating and couldn’t afford missteps. the country is split, the democrats are using their voice for change. both bush and romney clearly said the election was not fraudulent. accept democracy and free speech. the conspiracy theory is unattractive. accept reality, after all, half the country had to suffer insults and embarrassments by our leadership. change is a force of democracy. frank says november 9, 2020 at 1:44 pm no election fraud, just more lies trump and his moron friends has spread. like obama was from kenya, he didn’t have sex with a porn star or a playboy bunny, he had bone spurs, he said he didn’t cheat tu students ,that’s just a few of the thousands of lies he has told. he took health care away from his own great nephew after he had screwed his dad out of billions, that he lost with all his great so called business deals. sexually harassed at least 20 women. , said grab them by the you know what ,,a person could forgive a teenage for making such a stupid remark because of ignorance and youth, but a 59 year old man? no way. he is a racist, a liar,, a thief, a woman hater, a lover of putin and kim ;:also saudi arabi. if you remember correctly, he never said a thing to putin when putin let people kill our own men and women in the service for money .yep trump let saudi arabi chop an american to pieces and never said a word, he is buddy buddy with saudi arabi and seems to forget saudi arabi sent 16 of the 19 people who took down the towers how can any person uphold such a vicious, evil ,hate filled, bullying, spoiled, lying ,piece of crap. don’t you have any decency? no you don’t , you are just a bunch of joe mccarty (aka trump) liars, you are the devil’s own! joel says november 13, 2020 at 10:49 pm i know you are but what am i? stick it, feces brain. anonymous says november 8, 2020 at 6:09 am amen to that!!!! anonymous says november 8, 2020 at 6:53 am than ypu gary bailey says november 8, 2020 at 10:43 am well said, thousands of american soldiers who are turning over in their graves can rest now that some truth is recognized by at least 1 american anonymous says november 8, 2020 at 2:57 pm i dont thank you could have made it eney planer except their gona make it so we wont be able to pray to our lord jesus without being prosecuted look at chnia that’s were we will be very shorty!! rmwhit says november 11, 2020 at 7:40 pm wow, you are not only illiterate, but you have no concept of reality!! joe biden prays, for real, unlike the orange fart in the whitehouse. what a sad comment on our country that you are reproducing more of your kind. joel says november 13, 2020 at 10:51 pm gotta call bs on corrupt joe biden having any interest in spiritual matters. anonymous says november 8, 2020 at 3:45 pm i know that this election was not fair. the mail in vote decided it and there was not proper security. i don’t think a recount but a revote in arizona nevada michigan pennsylvania georgia and wisconsin will make a difference. you don’t see people burning trump votes and miraculously finding 138000 biden votes and not think”hmm there’s something wrong here “ i believe in the us and am glad i live here but i am finding it more and more difficult to believe the media and our politians. the media is so one sided it sickens me and now we have a government that is going to kill so many more babies cater to gays lesbians and illegal immigrants. so i’m a white heterosexual female and steadily becoming a minority. im just so disappointed that this has been chosen for us we will be just fine because i really do believe in god we trust. that’s what this nation was founded on and it still stands. the economy is tanked. says november 9, 2020 at 8:45 pm since were 27 trillion dollars in debt right now there will be a recession. https://reason.com/video/2020/07/02/the next pandemic will be caused by the national debt it will crater the economy/ trump was not a decent person he offended disabled people, native americans, latinos, lgbtq, african americans, asians, nurses, military, muslims, indians, women and much more. you can just make the country good for the ones you want it to be good for. i has to be for everyone that is here. joel says november 13, 2020 at 10:55 pm gotta call you on your bs. we’ve put up with your tds for 4 years. let’s see corrupt joe biden and willie browns side piece catch covid and keep on truckin’. extinguishselfishamericans says august 8, 2021 at 7:42 am look, neither joe biden and donald trump can fix the real problem in this country. we need to exterminate the willfully ignorant, obese, moronic. selfish, entitled, needy, inattentive and generally worthless americans that make me ashamed to admit i grew up loving this country.. doreen says november 14, 2020 at 5:49 am wow, i am stunned by how much hatred you have !!!! did trump teach you to do that ? it’s interesting that you say we will go down as the biggest played idiots. why don’t you google :. what the world thinks of donald trump google:. the true percentages of abortion from the cdc try really hard to not read it from a hateful person but from medical professionals,although you probably hate them also. take a breath, be calm,bits all going to be ok. jimmy hugemuff says november 6, 2020 at 4:03 am is there a party of morons? if so i believe we found it’s leader. cry baby. clarence e williams says november 7, 2020 at 6:35 pm biden is an idiot and therefore anyone who voted for him must have a very low iq also. tt says november 9, 2020 at 12:32 pm why was all this covered up why in wisconsin pallet thousands of ballots, why is it all i want to just throw out balance without somebody requesting it people have moved away the people of gone you’re talking about doing for years ago indian people die over 500,000 between is a diseases how many people have died old age district 567 2530 2927 i have over 100% average is 62% in wisconsin everybody is leaving also i know of for families stealing an election why isn’t you’re a congresswoman in jail, aoc all these corrupt dark money soros bought and sold joe biden and kamala harris names in the holy books mean evil donald john trump means from gd anonymous says november 11, 2020 at 1:06 pm what’s your stance on the people who can’t afford to sit on toilets in trump tower.? you all forget that if not for rallies, you wouldn’t get close to trump. i say the world in general is dumber. no president is for us. it’s all a bunch of rich guys, the rich, prep school, silver spoon…..i don’t think he’s racist one bit, but i sure do think he sits on a gold toilet and was always surrounded by the buffy’s and ivana’s, not the jim bob’s and tammy’s for a reason “ poor people are gross” as paris hilton would say. sandra starr says november 6, 2020 at 7:35 am biden’s supporters are theirs , losers , illegals, want something for nothing when another man earned it, drug cartels, looters , burns the american flag, hates america and can’t stand the thought of a white man to b the leader . but it’s our country our stupid betrayal government allowed the total disrespect after we have been the brains and prosperous ones to have a successful country… whites are hated and cant even b proud of our race and heritage or we are racist or somehow owe people our success…. trump won ,, the only way biden could have ever won even a prize out of a cracker jack box would b by racist left anarchists…. biden for our leader and commander & chief .. o m g that is frightening.. u type are ate up with thinking you may get what don’t belong to you.. however you can get it by bully or fear but y’all lack common sense when a country is in the state of division with no return..things like this occurs and dumb greedy wanna b people don’t realize war comes from other countries and this one will b bombed for the first time in the history of now a disgraceful country we will b attacked in our own home and land with devastation like has never been experienced before. we are weak and devided. all of trump’s voters are leaving this country and taking our money with us… in the making and y’all will b takin over by another country… so who will u cry about then .. what race card will u pull?? this is my wish and theory. and i can have my opinion n beliefs ,, oh wait a minute no we can’t only people of color can .. in our own country we can’t do nothing without vultures blaming us for being nice enuff to allow others to ever come here to begin with and really the most idiotic thing ever.. hate america but yet here yall are… and we white original americans are hated can’t have our history in schools have to give everything you believe in respect and take all our future since america has been heritage n history is out of our schools.. our children won’t learn nothing but how we are hated because of racist. it’s okay for black news channel or black history or yadda yadda but we cant have no just white nothing or we are racist… .. no but we love our race just as much as blacks brown’s yellow… yes deep love like the rioters for their people.. so this country doesn’t stand anymore it will fall… i want no part of a place which was our nice very successful home,,, i want n hope for a miracle soon for a new spot soon and away from the evil hate of this sad way we have been forced out of or came to what we go through in unsafe america it’s disgusting , vile and a disgrace… nor would nobody b proud to die anymore to defend ths country … for biden supporters no… heck so disrespectful and dumb most won’t even do stand for the national anthem for those who have died for you to b here right now n b free . they kneel. so good luck to y’all.. truth teller says november 6, 2020 at 1:21 pm typical mindless trump stooge..absurd ludicrous pathetic desperate fear mongering… .looking like this country would be better off with those supposed illegals than you red neck hillbilly backwards low iq meth heads..i spent 20 years in military intelligence you naive idiots…its the russian kgb who is putting out all this disinformation and plants with peaceful protesters to start trouble..it isn’t them who terrorized..its trump, loser militias and corrupt bullying racist cops…how bout trump grabs your mother, wife + daughter between their legs…you sad excuses for citizens likely would do nothing..you all have no dignity, shame or integrity…you ‘ll pay maybe $15,000 a year in taxes..but your puppet master basically none…what fools..he laughs at you suckers kay says november 10, 2020 at 8:38 am how about biden being accused of sexual assault by democrat tara reade and kamala harris said she believed her. but i’m sure you’re okay with that. doreen says november 14, 2020 at 5:54 am i think i love you !! that was amazing mj says november 6, 2020 at 2:38 pm see comment from me to “anonymous” above. ignorant much? learn how to write. the word “be” actually has an e after the b. and democrats are the dumb ones? get an education. jesus rico says november 7, 2020 at 7:24 am make sure to send a post card from where ever country you move to. evariel says november 7, 2020 at 5:52 pm why is it that anyone with a smart iq would believe all the lies and drivel that has constantly flowed out of trump’s mouth like venom? to set it right, the trump supporters (republicans from another state) came to a republican show of support in portland or and shot another republican supporter. the only demon display i saw was from republicans who do not obey the commandments like thou shall not murder, and thou shall not give false witness against thy neighbor.. as for me and my house, we worship the lord and cannot condone the law breaking republicans who have many skeletons in their closets and do not sound in any way shape or form “christian” i hate hypocrites. democrats are no angels, but they were not looting and injuring protesters…republicans were.. you can’t miss it in pics of the violence when trump was all over their hats, faces, clothes etc. try getting your facts straight. and if these folks are going to mexico, that proves you do not love this country as much as the rest of us who had to vote outside of our party to help remove a career criminal from the presidency. trump cheated to get out of a military draft. biden and his supporters love this country more than life itself . he and his family are proud military men who served the country to keep us free. they love god and go to worship every week while trump plays golf. i suggest, you remove the log out of your eye before you start on the splinter in another person’s eye. what trump did to our country will take time to heal. he was on the brink of destroying the world’s global economy while isolating us and ignoring our century old promises to help our allies which he was leaving out to dry.. he was hoping to create another world war only this time it would be the world nations against us. how patriotic is that? i am green party and am really sick of both leading parties. it’s time for more parties to enter the arena. kay says november 10, 2020 at 8:28 am you’re insane and ridiculous post accusing trump supporters of all the mayhem and murder is the most ludicrous thing i’ve read in a long time. the mob in the streets looting, burning, rioting and killing were the biden supporters. you have the nerve to call trump a criminal, another ridiculous claim, yet you apparently are perfectly fine with the the fact that biden was corrupt and used his vp office to enrich himself to the tune of millions! what kind of stuff are you smoking? it has seriously deluded your brain! doreen says november 14, 2020 at 6:11 am so let me get this straight, you believe that joe biden got millions with his son hunter, because donald trump did so. that is absolutely false. you seem like you would be intelligent enough to look up fact check. after that why don’t you check with the legal departments and see how many lawsuit’s the donald has pending. joe biden is a gentle soul. you will never hear him calling you names. anonymous says november 7, 2020 at 6:27 pm i could not agree with you more. believer in god not man says november 10, 2020 at 4:58 pm ediots for biden brainwashed you take god out of the equation and you are what you have you are brain dead do homework sorry you are not capable of that you are a a grain of sand drifting in a sea lies have no common sense you will reap what you sow. check it out you are being deceived by the left poor things. peter mulcahy says december 6, 2020 at 9:17 pm doreen, you’re a lying dog faced pony soldier.. that’s what gentleman joe called one of his supporters at his rally. he’s a strange man. clarence e williams says november 7, 2020 at 4:08 pm the democratic party believes that we need to redistribute the wealth. people like amazons jeff bezos, microsofts bill gates, apples founder, etc. they are all super rich people and they support the democratic party. do you really believe that they want to redistribute the wealth? if you do then you must be a naive moron. get real these people don’t want to help anyone but themselves. paul beau says november 7, 2020 at 5:56 pm the grammatical mess that you’ve dumped here, puts your stupidity on stark display, as well as invalidates anything you might offer as an opinion. anonymous says november 7, 2020 at 6:25 pm you can dish it out (relentlessly for years) but you can’t take it. crybaby. talk about the pot calling the kettle black… oops i meant to say talk about the sheet calling the pillowcase white…excuse me… clarence e williams says november 7, 2020 at 6:45 pm biden supporters and those who voted for him remind me of the jonestown cult when jim jones their leader told them to drink the kool aid and they did. voting for biden is just like you agreeing to drink the kool aid and screw up your life. clarence e williams says november 7, 2020 at 6:52 pm the democratic party needs to be renamed the communist party because that is where it is headed laura t. says november 7, 2020 at 7:30 pm learn how to spell and use correct grammar…. kurt eduard says november 7, 2020 at 9:22 pm i do not feel very good about looking into my little new businesses future of 4 years with biden / democrats with the steering wheels as they cannot make any wheel spinning but only add weird public spendings and raise taxes. however, i shall be the first to agree that mr. president trump never should have had access to a twitter account, but try to be in his place with a whole armada of democrat politicians and their armada of lying media yelling and screaming their lies out even from before mr. trump was elected as president instead of seeking a joint political agenda with the republicans there would have benefitted our country and made us all proud of being americans under the stars and stribes! i think democrats should feel very ashamed by their behavior doing mr. trump’s presidency of our country, deeply ashamed! now i will like anyone when reading the following facts to think if a future democratic mr. biden president of the united states of america will be able show same employment results as mr. president trump just did before usa got infected by a new type of deadly virus from china: in 2019 the national unemployment rate declined by 0.3 percentage point over the year, to 3.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2019. although the decrease in the number of unemployed people was relatively small by historical standards, the jobless rate fell to its lowest level since 1969, when it was 3.4 percent. please note that this happened despite democratic politicians making all kinds of political obstructions and screaming out in their media’s that mr. president trump was a bad president for usa? was he really? i see these numbers and i think mr. president trump did the best for the people and the country……he gave us new business opertunities and work! imagine how good good we would had been doing if we didn’t got infected by covid 19…. but now you have it, democrats, stop lying about everything and do not start giving our businesses that we were able to make the last four years back to china for a couple of airplanes they newer buy anyways, (clinton) or other parts of the world, again. please for the love of god, the people and the county do not screw it up again! haley says november 8, 2020 at 2:40 am everybody relax sit back apparently this is god’s plan and we’re about to get schooled and maybe after we are forced to live through the consequences of y’all’s actions and ignorance. this traitor to our country is supposed to stand up for us and unite us after four years of making it their main mission in life to divide this country. they don’t give two shits about us they don’t give two shits about you. all these people care about are themselves. they have blatantly broke laws done corrupt things right out in the open and nothing is done to them but god forbid if anybody in the trump family were to do any of the stuff these corrupt politicians have gotten away with doing they would have been all over it but instead they had to make lies up because they couldn’t find anything bad enough that the trump family has done nowhere near as bad as the stuff they’ve done themselves. so they just lie and keep repeating themselves over and over and over until these morons believe what they are hearing. they accuse them of everything that they are actually doing it’s so freaking obvious. well we shall see i have a feeling that we’re about to be given a little lesson to show us we actually had a good thing going until the race baiting, corrupt, greedy, power hungry, traitorous democrats slithered their way back into the white house. the man can’t even put two sentences together come on. welcome to 4 years of hell because i guarantee you it’s going to be. karma is a b. peace out. jim says november 8, 2020 at 8:32 am we shouldn’t eh ! for 4 years dems have been tearing this country apart … what’s changed ? why is their mantra to come together now ? am i missing something ? rick says november 8, 2020 at 11:42 am actually you are the one hurling insults. that what liberals do when they can’t debate the merits of an argument. demonization is the standard tact for democrats when they are losing the argument on facts. stealing elections thru fraud is their other method when losing an election. anonymous says november 8, 2020 at 2:47 pm at the very least use spellcheck so your ignorance will not shine through at first glance. kay says november 10, 2020 at 8:33 am the grammar police! scott hrdlicka says november 9, 2020 at 4:04 am just to let all you dummy’s know corporations font pay taxes people do .biden says he wants to raise taxes , this is my real time response , i own rental property , 75 percent of my. tenants are minorities all my rents r now going to be raised on average $100 per month which will net me a extra $72,000 per year i am also going to tighten my restrictions on who i rent to. when the leader of our great country says how bad all the white peoples are it pisses us off and it will definitely cause us to hold any people we have business relation ships with feet to the fire . for some reason most minorities would rather pay the rent late and assume they won’t get a late fee and for the past 25 years i was okay with that , that policy is also changing .from now on late fees will be charged at a rate of $25 per day . i could go on and on but i won’t . i will leave you with one more thought , black is beautiful tan is grand but white is the color of the big boss man and whitey is no longer doing any good deeds for anybody . dee says november 9, 2020 at 4:11 am and this justifies lying and. censoring by the media, keeping half the country dumb and stupid for 4 years? ethel says november 11, 2020 at 1:16 pm you are no independent. you skirt the facts and mismatch the truth with fiction. leftist and dems are attributed with whining and name calling. the right is too busy working to pay for the free crap offered up by the left to stay in power. further, trump did not draw first blood with the media. he propagated it to his advantage for sure but also gave them plenty of opportunity to work with him. kerry brown says november 4, 2020 at 5:39 pm kathy cobb, you are exactly correct. by the way, right wingers, biden is not even close to being a leftist or a socialist of any sort, he’s an ordinary middle of the road democrat. no american progressives are actual ‘leftists’. an actual leftist couldn’t even be elected dogcatcher in this country. not that there’s anything wrong with being a democratic socialist or a socialist democrat like bernie sanders. nothing wrong with being a so called leftist either. the right wing american conservative’s fear of ‘socialism’ is just plain silly. social security is socialism. ours is the only advanced country in the world which does not provide free health care. most other advanced countries also provide free primary and secondary education, including college and grad school. most other advanced countries provide maternity leave and child care. most other countries make sure retired and disabled citizens are provided for. rx meds in other countries are not priced sky high, in fact most mads are provided free of charge in most advanced countries. federal and state welfare programs that include cash assistance, healthcare and medical provisions, food assistance, housing subsidies, energy and utilities subsidies, education and childcare assistance, and subsidies and assistance for other basic services. are government ‘socialist’ programs. similar social welfare benefits are sometimes provided by the private sector either through policy mandates or on a voluntary basis. employer sponsored health insurance is an example of this. farm subsidies are socialism. i could go on and on. thank the imaginary sky god that trump lost the election. biden is no prize and neither is kamala but they are infinitely better than trump. (i am a bernie bro but the dnc made sure to sideline that so called commie, who’s not even close to being a commie or a marxist or whatever else the right wing dummies can dream up.) tose says november 6, 2020 at 2:10 am then, leave to those perfect countries you mentioned! sban says november 6, 2020 at 1:14 pm what years did you serve under? you know so much…. what the hell did you protect…? give us dd214 info… you can not…. and will not be treated as a true patriot… so what the fuck have you done in your life????? truth teller says november 6, 2020 at 3:53 pm hey freaking hippocrit..you and your cry babies who are now saying ‘biden isn’t my president’..you leave.. we d be so better off without you ‘ya hoos’..should i as a 17 year volunteer for army during vietnam who gets government va benefits + voted for biden..also leave…hhuummmmm..you stooge fool of the traitor who maniac malignant narcissisttic sociopath..who likely never severed just like your idle draft dodging silver spoon punk god says november 6, 2020 at 9:46 am what a sad lost excuse for an american. why don’t you go live in a real 3rd world country. and cry over there. god have a special place for you. pack your bag kerry it’s gonna be a long scary trip with biden at the wheel. truth teller says november 6, 2020 at 3:57 pm god!? lmao .. typical traitor trump butt kissing brain dead stooge…think god on your side..really? wife cheating ..hirer if hookers…insults tortured vets and handicap innocent people…you , him + your kind are so delusional..god already got you all’s one way ticket to hell kay says november 10, 2020 at 8:50 am he never insulted handicapped people. that was debunked! nor did he insult vets. that was fake news nor is he a traitor. you crazy leftists are sounding angry and insane more than normal. what happened to that unity speech we recently heard? yeh, democrats didn’t give trump one ounce of unity but now all of a sudden, we’re supposed to all come together and under the cloud of a fraudulent and stolen election. what a joke! ps: it is none of your business about trump’s personal love life but apparently biden was having an affair with his current wife while she was still married. so, enough of your holier than thou attitude. maybe look in the mirror at your own flaws, because sounds like you’re pretty darn judgmental! joel says november 13, 2020 at 11:04 pm and there you are, holding the door open… rose says november 6, 2020 at 11:08 am corruption is a problem in socialism or conservatism. we do not live in a perfect world time has proven socialism fails when greedy men and women lead nations, in our own democracy we have been able to have checks and balances to defeat corruption, it appears that we are loosing the ability to protect those checks and balances .the fall of the greatest nation in the world will only bring disaster globally . no need to worry about climate change . there will be bigger problems to worry about . evariel says november 7, 2020 at 6:03 pm thank you for that. i agree with you, rose. we have a large uphill climb from the bottom where trump put us. and climate change can take care of itself if we remain vigilant of our rights and responsibilities to god, family and country. as our economy improves, so will the worlds. joel says november 13, 2020 at 11:07 pm if you think trump has put us at the bottom of anything, you obviously have nothing to contribute and need to sit back down and be quiet. truth teller says november 6, 2020 at 4:10 pm glad not all americans like you and i aren’t trump stooges and who adolf hitler described when accurately stating. “the achilles heel of democracy is ignorant people get to vote”..sorry trump fools, achilles heel is an acronym for ‘weakness’..sorry again..as i need an acronym for acronym for you ya hoos mk says november 6, 2020 at 7:13 pm i lived in those countries australia and south korea. do you even know how much tax you have to pay??????? you should appreciate what you have here. anonymous says november 7, 2020 at 12:16 pm 6000 votes in one county in michigan switched to biden votes. faulty software is to blame  yet the same technology was used in 30 states!! even if the votes are corrected and trump doesn’t win  doesn’t the fact that there are so many mistakes and illegalities( votes showing up in the middle of the night all for biden) plead for a recount or re vote? cmon libs. you are all so soft. grow a spine you bunch of fucking pussies. you would not have won without all the bullshit hack job vote counting. you all should burn in hell for fucking with best country ever assimilated. kate says november 9, 2020 at 1:52 am votes didn’t show up in the middle of the night. we were warned for months prior to the election that the outcome would be delayed. do you know why it was delayed? gop didn’t want the ballots to be counted as they came in except it was allowed in florida. they wanted to wait to count the ballots until after the initial results were posted because they knew trump could take advantage of them and claim a win despite the fact the percentage of votes listed were approximately 60 to 80% of the total of the number of ballots received. you all fell for trump’s b.s. just as you’ve done for the last 4 years. this man has a decades long history of cheating, lying, stealing from employees, bankrupting numerous small business contractors who he sued, offering them pennies on the dollar and tying them up in court because he knew they couldn’t afford the attorneys fees. to top it all off, trump didn’t pay his attorneys, either. he is the most ignorant, unfit, poor excuse for a man to ever occupy the white house. he had no idea what he was doing there. he didn’t turn the economy around, he was handed an economy that had a 75 month straight period of growth, the trajectory would have continued under anyone. none of his policies made a difference. he kept his businesses overseas, because it was financially to his advantage to do so due to executive orders he signed. for all the claims about socialism, what do you think the farmers’ subsidies were? or the ridiculous subsidies given to extremely profitable oil companies every year? there are many incidents of socialism in our country, our highways, our police and fire departments, our libraries and public schools and medicare…all of these help people, and there’s nobody among us who hasn’t needed or used any one of these things at one time or another in your life. when everyone does well, we all do well, especially the wealthy. money never trickles down, it rises to the top. decades ago, the wealthy paid a much higher income tax rate and our country had never been more prosperous. over several decades their wealth has risen at astronomical rates while the poor and middle class are unable to keep up with the rates of inflation. when the top 1% have more wealth than the lower 99% combined, it’s horrific inequality. look at the ridiculous number of companies that make billions yet pay no taxes! are you so ignorant that you’re in favor of them using our public roads, service departments and more yet never contributing to them? wake up and open your eyes. as for your claims of cheating in the election, if you really want to see cheating, look at the number of people on the voter rolls whose names mysteriously disappeared w/o good reason. trump was always complaining about the number of people on the voter rolls who had died but when congress voted for funding for the states to clean up the voter rolls and bring them up to date, he denied them the money for security. why? because he was counting on foreign countries to help him again. it’s why he refused to admit russia helped him in ’16. it’s also a ready excuse for him to use. why are all those names removed always in areas w/minority populations? he cried about rigging in ’16 saying the same thing as this year, unless he wins, the election was rigged. what an ignorant sob! he couldn’t handle the thought of losing. maybe if he had been competent when it came to handling covid, instead of politicizing it like he did, saying one thing to bob woodward and the opposite to the people, he would have had a different outcome. the only thing he was concerned about was the impact the virus would have on his election. he never came out and spoke w/empathy for those families who lost their loved ones. he compared his briefings to tv ratings for basketball games and reality shows….seriously?? yet his supporters fell for all his b.s. over and over again. as for burning in hell, trump will be the one to burn in hell w/the blood of thousands on his hands, for separating over 500 children from their parents w/no plan to reunite them, for his cheating, lying, thieving lifestyle, not liberals who care about others. you’re all pitiful for following a man who mocks all of you behind your back. you’re the ones he was referring to when he said the upside to covid was his ability to have good reason not to have to shake your hands or get close to you. the losers & suckers are the trump supporters, not our military heroes who he mocked, claiming they died for nothing. joel says november 13, 2020 at 11:10 pm kate, you have nothing to contribute but leftist lies. please sit down and be quiet. jo lewis says november 7, 2020 at 2:56 pm dear kerry, regrettably, due to the very very very scary pandemic (sarcasm here) you will not be able to travel abroad (and possibly move to ) to these awesomely socially woke, just, magical, utopian “advanced societies”. the godless institutionalized socialism you speak of which seeks “equity” takes from me and gives to others without regard to m or my consent. it’s very easy to be generous with other peoples’ resources when you haven’t worked for it. i assure you that 4 years of biden  who you incorrectly label as “middle of the road dem” (which he is not!) will inch us ever closer to institutionalized socialism/marxism. he is not in control, everyone knows it. adding the euphemistic word “democratic” in front of socialism masks its true meaning: socialism/marxism then communism. we are not a democracy. we are a constitutional republic. there is nothing in our constitution about equitable distribution of wealth/resources. but let’s use the socialist “equity” claim and put it to the test, shall we? (can you smile, please? 😉 i am!) example: let’s pretend that you worked very hard for your 4.0 ivy league college degree (ouch! expensive). i, on the other hand, went to state sponsored university for free (thank you bernie!). however, i partied like a rock star (had an awesome time dude!) and i only obtained a 2.0. under socialism you should be more than willing to give me what i believe is my “fair share” of that glorious ivy league gpa because, well it’s only fair and you’re filthy rich anyway because you can afford to go to an ivy league school, right? so to accomplish this here’s what “they” decide is “fair”: government decides your “socially woke generosity” contribution is 50%, ok? terrific! (and thank you for your involuntary generosity kerry!) that would mean that my gpa is now a an amazing 4.0 and you’re stuck with a 2.0. awesome dude! i love socialism!! yay!!! thank you for being so magnanimously generous in spite of all you’ve worked for and giving it to me, who did not work for it free   courtesy of my socialist government! see how easy it was for them to “redistribute” your wealth? they had no skin in the game, yet they happily gave me your “resource”. gosh my government is fair, just, and generous! (and get re elected next election when they show off that “generosity”). now apply my simplistic example to your personal earned income/tax burden! yikes!! feeling queasy yet, kerry? well that’s the sickening uneasiness conservatives feel every time we here aoc, pelosi and biden wanting to spend our hard earned money and giving it on “our behalf” for every utopian ideal of the day! taxation without representation was a core tenet leading to revolt in 1776 and that ultimately created our constitution. the programs the dems/socialists/progressives are proposing does not represent me. that’s the issue democrats/liberals/progressives always miss… it’s not the government’s money… it’s ours. and it’s not for the government or dems to tell me how to live my life, what i can say, what’s socially “woke” and keep taking from the central money trough with every tom, dick and harry that needs a handout for their perceived “inequity” of resources and re distribution thereof! no rational conservative says we shouldn’t take care of those who need it. we support medicade for the poor, short term welfare assistance, rehabilitation for inmates, lower drug/health care prices. we are already an incredibly generous lot! we don’t need to have our government to tell us to be generous. conservatives donate more money to charities than any organization voluntarily. we support preserving medicare (we pay into that by the way) and social security (we pay into that). we do not support free medical for everyone including illegals (who get free health care anyways because they go to the ers!). that would take away from the legal immigrants/citizens who actually deserve it. we support enforcement of secure borders (imagine if all those caravans of illegals were coming in during a pandemic! trump saved us from that. see why we need borders?) we believe that if you are able to work, you should, and support yourself including taking responsibility for yourself. (i ido agree 100% with you that health care prices need to come down but socialism will create a single payer and eliminate competition  pharma oligarchies!) all in all, systematic/institutional socialism doesn’t work! anything you get for “free” isn’t “free”. if you drain all the wealth from those who earn/work for it you are essentially shooting yourself in the foot! your “socialist trough” will dry up, resources will become scarce, those in power will ensure their needs are met first and hoard any already limited resources. we will spiral into communism where we wait for a loaf of bread in line. you are disrupting supply and demand applying socialism! (remember the great toilet paper fiasco of 2020? lol). we already have social programs, absolutely. and they are part of “support the general welfare” contained in the preamble our constitution. what we have now is good. it can be made better if we work together and not ridicule the other points of view. some programs may need to be contracted, some expanded… but reinventing the wheel is futile. don’t throw out the baby with the bath water every 4 years. seriously research and look at this president’s accomplishment: permanent funding for hbcus, prison reform, platinum plan, opportunity zones, etc.etc. and peace in the middle east for god’s sake! come on… give him some love here! what conservatives hate most about the left is being “ridiculed as ignoramuses” , “cancelled” and “censored!” won’t you join me in stopping that? force these giant tech companies who have accumulated so much wealth from censoring us and inciting the hatred between the two factions? they fuel the fires of discontent, use us as pawns in their little tech games seeking “the collective”! you know, we might actually agree on some stuff kerry! i know, crazy, right? i believe these tech companies are using you, the left, as pawns in their grand scheme to take over our way of life. they don’t care about social issues, injustice etc. are you kidding me? all they want is to have more power than the government. so while the left is busy being social justice warriors (and terribly worried/frantic about it) the tech companies are taking control of our lives and the media is terrifying us with a virus that has a 99%+ survival rate! they caused this voting chaos and the dems took advantage of it. please try to see it from our side just a bit? they love to keep us divided and busy with unsolvable “human condition social issues” so we can’t see them robbing our constitutional republic right in front of our eyes! trump is not the enemy… he’s the only one that stands between you, me and them! he’s rough around the edges… but you know what? if i were in the heat of battle in a foxhole… i’d want him by my side! no doubt! he’s shaking up the “deep state” which is fantastic for both our parties! let’s work together instead of ridiculing each other and please don’t force me to be you, think like you, talk like you and walk like you. i think that’s become too easy for the left/dems to do these days with the msm as the bully pulpit for disrespecting/dismissing conservatives. remember, we cannot as a government distribute resources and solve 350,000,000 issues that anyone encounters in their life. we do what’s “generally” beneficial, not “all inclusively” beneficial. we do the best we can. i respect your views kerry, i trust you will respect mine. i’m pretty sure many of our founding fathers trapped in that room in philly for months on end probably disagreed and fought like cats and dogs too (thank god there was no media or twitter, right? lol) but in the end, they stuck to the “universal” tenets that all people can agree to: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. simple, don’t you think? i tried adding a little levity to this reply because… well sometimes it’s just more fun to laugh together, right? blessings to you! jo anonymous says november 8, 2020 at 7:32 am sorry but your lost and totally disagree. anonymous says november 8, 2020 at 7:38 am sorry you havr been brain washed idiot anonymous says november 8, 2020 at 7:43 am you sound like a brained washed sheep. anonymouslikeyou says november 9, 2020 at 4:33 am i’m assuming you had a hard time comprehending a factual and intelligent post. how do so many of you have that same difficulty? such a mystery…. dee says november 9, 2020 at 4:27 am exactly. social security is socialism and we can thank democrats for that now that every senior worries how the hell they’ll survive once that collapses. i’d have far rather kept my own damn money. who the hell are they to decide to takie our money and save it for us?? then make all kinds of rules about how and when we get it back? really? and they’re at liberty to make people work till they’re just about dead? to add insult to injury, there eventually will be cuts. oh wait…eventually it won’t be there at all. yep, that’s socialism.. thanks for pointing that out. ethel says november 11, 2020 at 1:21 pm yeah kathy, you keep telling yourself biden is moderate. say something enough times and it becomes your truth. the poor old man can’t decide if he is for or against something. when your utopia never materializes don’t complain. my suspicion is that 4 years down the road everything will continue to be trump’s fault. he is already planning executive orders to institute the green new deal. bob barton says november 4, 2020 at 8:42 am revelations 3:9 there those who claim to be jews, but are not, but they are lyers, that belong to a imposter synagogue of satan.. these fakes control the media. these fakes dispise the real, yes only the real orthodox judaism jews, and devout christians. . . the fake hate , tax payer supported npr that ,supported ashkenazi , kkk s , margaret sangers holocaust, and slaughter of 55 million of future patriotic americans, . . the leftest, santantic media destroyed , americas democracy. . bob barton sr says november 5, 2020 at 10:24 pm you may be wondering if bob. barton is a human capable of being coherent. bob is no longer a human  he has transcended humanity and turned into a pure being of murdoch fox news indoctrination. bob is not a conservative. true conservatives don’t spew nonsense garbage like bob just did. bob is trash. he is not an american. anonymous says november 6, 2020 at 2:12 am all knowledgeable persons understood what you say and agree totally 💯 god almighty says november 6, 2020 at 9:01 am the fact you need to bring unproven bs called religion into this proves you have zero understanding of facts vs fiction. religion isn’t real. the mere idea of a god is silly and a slap in the face of intelligence. why do you only quote the verses that benefit you? did you know your god is not against abortion? your god is against women’s rights? you didn’t because you and the majority of christians have never actually sat down and read your very own bible as most atheists have. i can quote religion too but you would probably call it fake because you’ve never heard it before. if you make extraordinary claims, you, the person making the claims, are required to provide extraordinary evidence or proof that your god is real. but, this has never been done. never. because it’s not true. humans evolved and that’s a fact with evidence to support it. there is far more evidence to support evolution than religion, yet your simple mind is incapable of understanding such simple ideas. religion is nothing more than a tool of control and you are proving that by spewing unproven bs to make a point. you’re no different than a child who says their imaginary friend is real and they are talking to them while the parents sit there and can’t see them and have to just play along. you and your unproven religion help pass laws that directly affect other humans and their ability to live their lives. why do you get so mad when someone tries to tell you how to run your life but you have no problem helping pass laws that directly affect how others live their lives? you are blind and have been trained to think religion is real when in fact we are a factor of evolution and why doesn’t your god just speak up? he did a lot back in the so called time of jesus with burning bushes and talking snakes and donkeys. why is this something your god is completely unable to do now? you have nothing to defend yourself with other than more bullshit. believe what you want but don’t use it as a defense and stop trying to control other people’s lives with your immature and extremely jealous god. worship me or burn in hell. yeah, that’s not jealousy. you are clueless to facts. the funniest part is satanism is far more moral than any other religion. they support and fight for people’s rights, christianity tries to take them away. you were born an atheist and it took a human being to make you christain. if you were born in saudia arabie, you wouldn’t be christian, you would be that religion. the only reason you believe in a religion is you’re unable to think critically and for yourself, instead, you just believe everything you’re told to a certain degree. you were brainwashed as a child you are completely clueless to facts and only believe something if it fits your agenda. the left owns guns too. i lean more liberal than anything and own way over 50 guns of different kinds and an am avid shooter and hunter. i have taken my courses and know how to use them. i support cops and blm. both are a much needed thing in america. i also support free healthcare and free college. i also support the rights of women to be allowed to make their own decisions on their bodies for how they see fit just like you have the right to believe whatever batshit craziness you want to. you and your stupidity of religion is my main reason i stay away from republicans. you are completely clueless to anyone but your kind. the fact you have no understanding of reality is scarier than trump being president again. i hate trump because he is a disrespectful person. he treats people like complete shit and has done far more fraud in this election than anyone else. trump is by far the least patriotic person in this country and his love for vladimir putin is just sickening. he is a dictator and is pushing for an authoritarian style of leadership. trump is the type of person who believes everyone has to love him because he’s president and if you don’t say anything nice or talk shit, you’re automatically against america and are fake. this is extremely stupid and a very typical trait of an authoritarian figure. hitler was like this. the only reason trump calls the media fake is that he disagrees with it. he has openly admitted this himself. he never said he doesn’t believe it, he just disagrees with it. which his supporters “don’t hear that part” and continue to call everything fake as if they think it’s fake. you don’t even listen to your own president. you just make up your ideas and say them whether they make sense or not. the democrats don’t hate america, they simply just have a different set of views than republicans. to say they hate america is saying republicans also hate america. because if the only reason the right is saying that is because of a difference in views, then that logic has to be used in the same way on both sides. if anyone truly hates america, it is donald trump. he is a monster who doesn’t and never deserved that spot. every republican who reads this and supports trump i ask of you one thing, the next time you are injured, do not go to a doctor. go to your local library and ask them to heal you. i say this because you support a guy who has zero experience in politics. if you are so comfortable with someone who has no experience in something, then you don’t need a doctor. you don’t need any professionals, you don’t need cops, you don’t need the military. you just need some random people to do things without any prior knowledge of it. what was that? does that make no sense? of course, it doesn’t. you thought of it. if you come up with a set of logic, you need to understand that logic has to be used for everything in that context. you can’t just use that logic with the most powerful job in the country while seeing doctors for health and a mechanic for your car and a framer for building a house. it shows you are trying to cheat. it shows you would rather be stupid than use simple logic. oh and one more thing, when biden wins (i cannot stand biden, i voted for dr. jorgenson), you have no right to complain. you cannot protest in the streets, you cannot commit violent acts. you have lost your right to all of that when you made such a big deal over the blm protests that turned violent which if you knew what facts were, the blm protests were mostly peaceful. the violence you did see was not blm, it was agitators and criminals who used it as a reason to commit those acts and this is a known fact. i remember even seeing republicans saying those protestors should just be mowed down by vehicles. so, if there are any republicans out protesting this election, watch out because you might have a republican mow you down. yes, some of them turned violent but you also need to add in those republican protestors who marched right up to blm protests in a way of agitating them. so both sides are to blame. i do agree with some things trump did but the majority of his presidency was spent removing protections to our earth only to spite obama. trump is a business guy and a conman and republicans were conned and are now mad that they were conned. you can go ahead and call me names and call me whatever you want but i could care less because i’m not a child and don’t need to name call people to get my point across. that is something people who can’t defend themselves in an argument do and know they lost. they resort to name calling which is ad hominem. in a discussion, the moment you attack the person’s character instead of their argument is the moment you lost. one more thing, trump projects his crimes. he says other people are guilty of something he himself is guilty of. how any christain can support trump is truly odd. you are not a true christian if you support donald trump. he is not even a christain and has actually voted more democrat in his prior life than anything else. yet, here are. it was just a joke at first, but someone claimed trump said the only reason he ran as a christian repubkcan was that those are the only people dumb enough to believe anything as stupid as the shit he says. the fact that it was a joke and something he never said and how true that has become is fucking hilarious. i won’t ever come back and read this as i don’t even know what website this is. but, you will still call me names and say a bunch of hurtful shit because that’s all you know and that’s what trump does so you see it as ok to do when in reality it’s no different than being beat as a kid by your parent’s and turning out fine only to say you think kids today should be beaten. which just says you support child abuse. sban says november 6, 2020 at 1:25 pm you are amazing robert e leasure says november 7, 2020 at 8:42 am hello god almighty …i am a godless heathen..with no vote not now …not ever…i have read your monologue ..i find your vernacular i bit loose gripped and your perception of reality seems to require very little in the weighing of facts.. in short your missive seems to be devoid of facts or policy or tangibles…so i assume you are presenting a work of fiction…yet attempting to escape into non fiction by calling fiction facts with no intention of veracity or even a reference that would hint to the idea of reality…so it seems that you only offer agreement with those who agree with you…like a dog wagging its tail then chasing it as if it belongs to someone else…then when it catches it…it realizes that it is chasing its own tail….i am the dog that wants to mount you and bring you into submission….so you may want to examine your ideology and the doctrine you have set forth here…however for you to accomplish this …the task would require critical input from those you do not concur with…unfortunately you are incapable of assimilating facts regarding that which you disagree with….so it seems my friend that you cannot discern fact from fiction….fortunately the human being does evolve and with the possibility for potencial evolution someday you may be able to discern facts relative to the human condition…until then you will basically have to learn things the hard way…hopefully you will not forget your lessons in life and therefore not have to learn them the hard way again….with that said i will leave you with this…at least there is opportunity…the key that unlocks the door to reality…and the perception thereof…… lucylou says november 7, 2020 at 2:56 pm oh my dear dear sad human,you will be the first one to scream jesus’s name when his wrath is poured out on you. you will stand and stare up in the sky as his angels deliver the judgements god has in store for the unbeliever. if you are an atheist and do not believe in god or a little floating spiritual ball floating around why should it bother you that there are those that do believe? what do you care? you talk about owning guns etc. but want to go into a ranting rage when scriptures are spoken by a true believer. what is your problem? this is a free country as of right this second. we can say or do anything that one desires. we can believe in anything or religion we choose. are you the religionpolice? going around bashing christians because they are not like you? i would hate to be you. i fear for your life and eternal soul. you obviously don’t and that’s your choice. quit letting the demon inside you speak. keep it quite so real bible believing christians can live in peace and harmony. no one has bothered you. you keep right on believing any way you choose. but why spew out such demonic words on those that choose to believe? perhaps deep inside you are full of hate and pain. perhaps you’ve been hurt deeply by a person that said they were a christian but in fact they were not. if so i hate that so bad. something obviously has turned you into a very mean ugly sad human that’s walking around day to day having nothing to give you hope or peace. i pray for you. your eyes will surely be opened to the truth and i pray you have time to call upon our savior before you draw your last breath. until then please keep your ugly comments to yourself. there have been christians on this earth for over 2000 years. i don’t think anything you say or do will change that. so basically your wasting your breath and out time. god help you anonymous says march 9, 2022 at 11:37 pm who is a true believer, according to you?? anonymous says november 7, 2020 at 6:31 pm just like you support abortion. oh wait that’s not just child abuse…that’s murder….not the same john says november 7, 2020 at 10:13 pm you did exactly what you said you would never do……you “name called” republicans. you stated that they are stupid, dumb shits, and unable to think for themselves. your opinion is null and void.🤣 so, are you a “moron” too? yep!! you sure are! klatu says november 7, 2020 at 11:31 pm i noticed that your one more thing turns into many more things that still aren’t trueand i also don’t believe it’s over yet.i know you think that george soros gets to call this election but there are many legal battles ahead to deny your illegal vote count chris g says november 11, 2020 at 1:45 pm soros hasn’t got a damn thing to do with this election. that’s fantasy conspiracy bs from right wing trolls. there aren’t “many legal battles” to be fought. commander chaos’s crap accusations are being tossed out faster than yesterday’s news. most recent, the lying postal worker who had to tell the judge “i have none, and i was lying” when asked for ‘proof’ he had about ballots being stolen. lies and more lies. that’s all the right has. never has a president refused a peaceful transition of power until we elected a dictator wanna be. he won michigan in 2016 by 10,500+ votes and claims a ‘great victory’. he loses michigan in 2020 by over 145,000 votes, and suddenly “it has to be fraud”. remember, any one who claims “unless i win, it’s been rigged”, is a lying sore loser and a malignant narcissist. edward winner says january 7, 2021 at 9:02 am i have a question for you chris and hope that it isn’t too hard for your educated mind to answer: if there is “no fraud” as the democrats and leftist media claim, then why not have a forensic audit and we can find out? what are they afraid of? give us the transparency and prove it! we just want to know if this election was legit. because if they keep hiding, it will just piss us off even more. by denying it, you are convincing all of us that election fraud did happen. here are some interesting questions that need to be answered: with president trump comfortably ahead on election night, why did the voting count suddenly stop? why were observers not permitted to reasonably observe the ballot counting? why were observers removed from counting areas? why did democrat counters cheer when republican observers were removed? why were windows boarded up in detroit so that observers could not observe? why were ballot watchers in pennsylvania not allowed to meaningfully observe to the point where they had to get a court order? then when they got one, they still weren’t allowed to observe? why was this? why when observers were allowed to re enter, there were an unusually large number of ballots with an unusually high percentage with 90% and above for joe biden? why was there a failure to match signatures on mail in ballots? why was there destruction of mail in ballot envelopes which must contain signatures? why does the voter integrity project in georgia estimate that over 20 thousand people who no longer meet residency requirements   were allowed to cast ballots in georgia   where biden’s margin is 12,000 votes? seems kind of odd that someone completely brain dead running with the least popular candidate in the democratic primary   just got more votes than any other presidential candidate in the history of our country, including our first black president. not buying it. anonymous says november 8, 2020 at 6:45 am you are smart.but if you could just go back and honestly look at all that the trump addminatration accomplish you will be surprised and happy. crristions without goverment give much to the poor and needy. sorry about my text but have a hard time seeing. i think you will someday be a great advocate for jesus. you are amazing problematic says november 8, 2020 at 3:55 pm i know you will come back to read this, and i want you to know that i sincerely do not like you. it isn’t because of the points you made, and it isn’t because of your stance. however, i found it important enough to let you know, from human to human, that i do not like you, and i hope we never meet. you are difficult to listen to. good day. anonymous says may 21, 2023 at 11:07 am wow!

truth teller says november 6, 2020 at 4:03 pm really you narrow minded supposively religious person..god doesn’t like haters…you like the other narrow minden , flat earthers, low iq in bred ya good supposively don’t want big government interference..but want to have government force your delusion views on us..making it a felony if an innocent 12 year girl gets brutally tortured raped..becomes pregnant and you + republican government force that angel to lool at her torture rapist forver!! thats sick..bet if ut was your daughter you d change your tune you holier than now condesending hippocrit..+ if you wouldnt then maybe you ll get what you wish for joel says november 13, 2020 at 11:20 pm go back to school lucylou says november 7, 2020 at 3:08 pm yes i agree 100%. evariel says november 7, 2020 at 6:25 pm what a bunch of hogwash! obviously you do not understand judaism. because since christ’s day, all the jews were reform, not orthodox. that group splintered off during the 18th century. they were not the original jews, but left mainline judaism. i suggest you see a psychiatrist because you have lost your hold on reality. every jew by line or by conversion, has a real jewish soul put there by god, not satan. our yedid nefesh calls us to god to repent. satan can’t touch that because our names are written and sealed in god’s book of life. by the way, the media only reported what was happening. the real destroyer as always was the man trying to get rid of our nation’s checks and balances. and the same who cut us off from alliances with our allies while helping to destroy the global economy. he said he was a “christian” to get their vote, but trump is not religious. he plays golf while biden goes to religious services each week. trueamericanpatriot says november 3, 2020 at 4:33 pm trump is satan and the golden calf rolled into one… pure idolatry! right down to his golden toilets. how do any of you fall for his deception?! if you truly believed in god and studied the bible, this would be blindingly obvious to you… you fools are going to burn in hell for worshipping satan on earth [trump] thereby ushering in the end of days for all of humanity and wonder… “how could i have been so badly fooled by the devil in disguise…?” may the true god have mercy on your souls… sban says november 6, 2020 at 1:19 pm nicely put anonymous says november 7, 2020 at 3:40 pm you poor naive, weak minded fool. do you actually believe that biden is going to help you ? no biden is going to turn this country over to communist china for him and his families own benefit. i would suggest that you learn to speak the chinese language because the chinese communist will be running this country before long. trump has done more positive patriotic things for this country than any other president has in my lifetime and i am 70 years old. you must be one of those indoctrinated, brainwashed college fools. kate says november 9, 2020 at 2:24 am you’re the fool. trump is the one w/the chinese bank accounts, w/ivanka receiving trademarks she’d applied for years ago on the same day she and her father met with xi. he’s the one who has the majority of his manufacturing done in china. when he was campaigning, he claimed he would have every business coming back to the u.s. and if they didn’t listen, he was going to tax them to the point they would have no choice but to move back to the u.s. how’d that work out for you? positive & patriotic? do you believe attacking & name calling a pow who spent five years of his life in a pow camp patriotic? remember the attacks on hillary for benghazi, the dozens of investigations and her having to testify for 12 hours about what happened? remember there was nothing found but the republicans ignored the 4 troops who were killed in niger under extremely questionable circumstances? why didn’t trump have to answer for that? he attacked the wife of one of the men killed and republicans ignored it. trump claimed he wasn’t stupid enough to end up in vietnam and said you had to be really stupid if you didn’t find a way to get out of it like he did. he had a wealthy father who bailed him out w/a phony doctor’s note, just as he bailed him out of all his business failures until the day he died. then trump used his inheritance to pay off his debts and had nothing left, turning to funding from overseas because the banks wouldn’t lend him money in the states because he never paid his debts. rw’ers have been claiming for years that china, russia, and numerous other countries would take over the u.s. if we didn’t elect them. instead, trump praised dictators and attacked our allies we’ve associated with for decades. joe biden isn’t the one w/the chinese bank account or receiving money from unknown countries or institutions. he released all his taxes for years unlike trump. you’re the naive one. trump said he was going to take care of the blue collar workers…this is the guy who didn’t pay his employees for ot and did away w/the ability for many to receive ot. what a help he is to those in need. he’s the one who has us paying more for everything due to his tariffs on trade. our trade deficit is higher than ever w/trump’s so called negotiating skills. you are most certainly one of those brainwashed fools, no matter what your education level is. real american says november 7, 2020 at 3:43 pm you poor, naive, weak minded idiot. ronny hawhtorne says november 2, 2020 at 12:58 am the ‘anonymous far left’ has been so indoctrinated because of their hate for trump. they roll over other peoples rights gleefully, while burning their property and with the endorsement for the democratic mayors, senators and governors. linen and stalin would be proud of his followers. but they are not the builders or supporters of democracy, they are the weakest and most undesirable mortar in liberty’s bricks and stones of the republic. and when trump is re elected, the liberal press will really be sucking some wind. don’t believe it grab a chair and watch? anonymous says november 2, 2020 at 2:38 pm you are a complete idiot, democrats do not hate america that is another of trumps lies! he is disrespectful to everyone, even calling his own constituents stupid(which they are for buying into his lies and corruption he is the worst president the u.s. to has ever seen and will go down in history books as so hopefully he will still be alive to see it. he is a sociopath, no doubt about that. he treats everyone horribly and makes up lies .when he doesn,t get his way ,just like a two year old child. god almighty says november 6, 2020 at 9:04 am hey, stop calling people names. you’re better than that. calling people names causes people to not understand what you’re saying. they just see “hateful comment” and argue back with more insults. if you want to call people names, become a republican. that’s all they can do because they are unable to argue. the only way to get a point across is to act as a civil adult. when you don’t call them names and are respectful, they don’t know what to do. gracie says november 7, 2020 at 10:39 am right on! agree 1000%. thank you. old fuzz 695 says november 7, 2020 at 9:03 pm apparently, you were asleep and missed the democrat anarchist bitch who spit in the cop’s face while cursing like the devil. yo momma says november 7, 2020 at 10:21 pm your previous comment has already proven to discount your opinion…..you tell others not to name call……..but you did in this post and your last……pull the branch out of your own eye before you accuse someone else of having a splinter in their eye. ricky says november 2, 2020 at 2:40 pm trump 2020 !!!!!!! marie h says november 2, 2020 at 2:47 pm no another lie, is that all you can do is lie?fake news .what you do is called projection. donald trump projects what he does on to others. so everyone just know when he’s blaming anyone for anything it is really the things he has done.sociopath!! . rob says november 2, 2020 at 10:06 pm you literally follow an authoritarian play acting as a king attempting to tear down the fabric of the republic and think you know anything about “rights”? at this point conservatives are one of two things; idiots. or evil. there is no third option. which are you? anonymous says november 5, 2020 at 9:39 pm think about what liberals believe and support? do some soul searching for yourself. ask god to reveal to you who is evil? chris g says november 11, 2020 at 1:58 pm the arrogance of the american right and conservatives is beyond belief! they actually believe that god only gives a shit about america, and it’s only “their god” who matters. americans, for the most part; cannot think for themselves. that’s why they need an alleged ‘supreme being’ to guide everything they think and/or do. liberals ‘believe’ in treating all people fairly. sharing the wealth equitably. such evil ideas, it’s hard to fathom. anna says november 3, 2020 at 2:22 am i can not understand people like bloomberg and gates. what do they believe in besides their own superiority> not god. not freedom, not america. think of the millions of lives they could change if they didn’t seem to believe they are better than everyone else. they are richer. greedier, arrogant, pompous, and self important than like dictators we have read about through out history. i always thought we as a nation had learned from the many failures repeated through out history, and demonstrated in the scriptures of evil dictators, rulers. i would really like to know why these wealthy arrogant , pompous million airs think that regular people ( who desire no more than to provide for their familys and live a righteous life. ) why … why do they think they should rule and reign over regular people? who gave them the right to dominate people’s lives? as for their new world order bull shit… where like china . the government decides who will live and die? who is the king ? who decides how and what people eat, drink, wear, and where they live and with whom? how and who is going to decide how much money any one person is allowed to have? with government run health care who will decide who will receive life saving health care? ” bloomberg or gates ? who will decide who will live and who will die? obama said americans need to learn to give up some of their freedoms! why, why would anyo !want to take freedom away from someone? most people voting for ” so called “free health care” free food, free education bull shit don. they are giving up freedom for free stuff and do they really they will get every they want? their tummy/s will always be full, they will always have great clothes. money will be given to them at their whim? nothiing in this life is ever really free! look at the black community? liberals/ democrats were susposto provide them everything! who is going to work for all the money , food, clothing, housing, and all other things required for lifes necessaries? who? bloomberg? gates? the rockafellers? you can bet aoc and the dc greedy mob will never give of their substances. like nancy’s freezer, fuel for their cars, planes, boats, and what ever they so desire.. so king bloomberg, and king rothchild, and king gates will go with out nothing. all the while doling out pennies for those they believe deserve deserve their believes of what others deserve! i wish these arrogant million  airs would be forced to live in venezula with the same resources they plan on dole out to regular hard working americans.. annas father says november 5, 2020 at 10:28 pm hello! please be advised that anna is an angry and uneducated anti american. anna is not a conservative. true conservatives don’t spew nonsense garbage like anna does. true conservatives areally not indoctrinated by murdoch fox news. anna please jump out of the gene pool. please. if you really care about yourself and humanity do not reproduce any more. trash. anonymouse says november 3, 2020 at 7:00 pm the democrats want a free ride, free insurance, free money, and not have to work. free unemployment benefits for 6 years. the people have to pay for this. republicans, more specifically trump, has banned the rothschilds from his establishments long ago, much like the original 13th amendment   look it up. banned rothschilds and royalty from holding any public office in the usa. it is trump and putin fighting the secret shadow gvmt of the true evil. i hope trump wins, and the liberals of america and the world stop destroying everything. importing male insecure muslims from 18 40 to each country in europe and usa is not refugees, it is blatent destruction of a way of life. usa was okay in the 20s when the rothschilds imposed on us, we made it through the depression.. but through control of media has brainwashed the common non readers to fight for destruction. killing cops, taking their strength away, killing and raping citizens in grade school, importing illegal immigrants, building the wall against mexico the 6th most dangerous country in the world. anyways, whatever. good luck, im going to the country and building a shelter with many arms. truth teller says november 6, 2020 at 1:12 pm you are another pathetic in bred trump ass kissing stooge, sucker, patsey, fool, here mentality, racist, traitor loser.bet you and your black boot nazis collect your government social security, stimulus chwck, pandemi unemployment, fema disaster checks…likely unlike you + indisputably draft dodger silver spoon malignant narcissist sociopath trump, purin’s puppet..i joined the army during vietnam at 17…i get compensation for my wounds..am i o be of those ‘free riders’. i would spit in that fat spoiled punk if he insulted me like mccan. you + the other documented low iq followers are the enablers and supporters of that nut jobs insults to me and all vets.. read history if you can read. he was doing same as mussolini and hitler. and you all no different than nazi guards at concentration camp..get over it cry babies. thank god and sane voters for saving our democracy joel says november 13, 2020 at 11:30 pm have your doc try to dial your meds in a little closer to reality. lucylou says november 7, 2020 at 3:12 pm very good idea. they are not very intelligent or they would do their homework on socialism and see the destruction it causes. robert e. says november 4, 2020 at 7:53 am you are clueless, resembling dumpthy do da mentally and in dogma. dumpt is headed t jail, you can follow her there. lisa says november 4, 2020 at 9:19 am i so pray you’re right. conservatives are all praying. maga2020 don says november 4, 2020 at 3:22 pm unfortunate it looks like trump will not be re elected god help us gatekeeper says november 5, 2020 at 10:00 pm trump will serve a 2nd term!!! chris g says november 11, 2020 at 2:06 pm not without stealing it. the election is over. his lawsuits (to delay the inevitable) are all getting thrown out of the courts, sometimes multiple times a day. 99% of his claims are absolute made up bullshit. he released dozens of names of dead people he claims voted in one of these states yesterday. that states secretary of state went through all of them and proved none of them has voted. not once since they died. just more dump bullshit. get used to this. biden won, and harris will probably win in 2024. you right wing loon sycophants are gonna have a rough 8 to 12 years ahead of you. edward winner says january 7, 2021 at 8:50 am gatekeeper, you are a democrat and you want biden to win and think all of this fraud stuff is just a bunch of smoke by the republicans, donald trump and the trump supporters. great; then you’ve got nothing to hide. all we wanted was to see the evidence. when you don’t show us the evidence, it just makes everything worse   whether it is real or not. so you should not have a problem with this. right? folks like me are pissed and aren’t going to stand for this shit. the democrats and the media owe the american people the truth. if they are so confident there was no fraud, then why not have a forensic audit and we can find out? what are they afraid of? give us the transparency and prove it! we just want to know if this election was legit. because if they keep hiding, it will just piss us off even more. by denying it, you are convincing all of us that election fraud did happen. beware of the fury of a patient man. bill cakin says november 5, 2020 at 11:22 am wow… this whole comments section is just a massive echo chamber for in denial conservatives isn’t it? and this site being designed so terribly and coded so wonky tells me it was made by old people who don’t really understand tech. i could code a better site… i have coded a better site actually. but whatever. here’s why i am not a conservative. because i don’t like aristocrats. i don’t believe that there are people inherently better than us and i don’t believe that any one group deserves to rule over us “lowly peasants”. the entire philosophy of conservatism started out as a reaction against the idea of democracy to protect the monarchy. historically, conservatives wanted to preserve the status quo… which meant continue being ruled by kings and queens in the 1800s. conservatives hated the idea of democracy because they found the idea of a peasant having the same amount of power as a noble on election day to be highly offensive… in other words… conservatives were assholes! don’t believe me? look up the fathers of conservative thought! edmund burke is one of them and he hated the french revolutionaries who fought for democracy. why? cause burke was friends with wealthy nobles and the king and thus had a lot more power than the peasants… he wanted it to stay that way. he wanted to conserve the status quo. obviously, kings and queens aren’t popular in america so conservatives had to rebrand… now it wasn’t a monarch who deserved to rule over the masses… but wealthy landowners. american land owners fought against extending the right to vote to even poor white men when america first started. conservatives didn’t believe anyone who didn’t own land should have the right to vote. landowners were their new aristocrats. this obviously isn’t the case today because liberals fought hard for democracy… not conservatives. at every turn, conservatives have fought against an expansion of voting rights because conservatism started as a belief that some people are born with an innate right to rule over others. conservatives believe in aristocracy. power in the hands of a few. they don’t believe in democracy. power in the hands of many. today… conservatives fight for giving more power to big corporations… the wealthy. because in their eyes… simply by being wealthy… they have proven to be better than everyone else and therefore deserve ultimate power over the poor. regardless if whether that money was earned… or inherited… it doesn’t matter to them. they disguise this fact by saying they are fighting for everyone’s rights to live the american dream and become a success… but that’s an obvious lie that can be easily disproven by taking a look at history. if we look at reagan… his policies helped corporate consolidation… which makes it harder for any new business to get started.l as it usually means an entire market being completely dominated by one or two major companies. (amazon… microsoft… google… anyone?) we’ve been following conservatives policies for the last few decades (yeah… even the democratic ones have been talking about making government smaller… clinton and obama never really raised taxes on the rich to pre reagan levels)… and this is where it got us. the highest wealth inequality since the great depression… an entire class of billionaires… who haven’t worked a day in their life… massive unbeatable corporations that hold entire states hostage by throwing tantrums and threatening to take away jobs if they don’t get their way…. deregulation of safety conditions that put workers in more and more harmful situations with little to no consequences for the company… companies running oil pipelines until the break and contaminate water supplies of poor working class people because it is cheaper for the company to do that than it is properly maintain the pipeline. this is where we are… an entire class of people (wealthy corporate executives) who use the poor masses for whatever they want to get whatever they want. this is the american aristocracy as established by conservatives. and that’s what conservatives want to conserve… a rebranded aristocracy. anonymous says november 7, 2020 at 6:36 pm actually you do believe others are better tan us….like criminals, gang members, drug dealers, people who don’t work…that’s who you all support and look up to dope. chris g says november 11, 2020 at 2:14 pm talk about a stoopid, baseless comment. bill didn’t say squat about ‘criminals, gang members, drug dealers, people who don’t work…” etc. unless, you include the criminal gang of right wingers doing as he just laid out so succinctly. drug dealers? you mean like the cia rouge’s like casey and colby, who facilitated the importation of 3 million pounds of cocaine into the us in the 1970’s, to fund their illegal wars in south america against any sovereign nation who opposed the right wing hunta’s policies? learn something other than how to act like a “parrot”. parroting every right wing talking point you can copy and paste. which you didn’t even bother to do here very well either. smarter than you says november 7, 2020 at 10:37 pm well, there you go……another super smart …..way smarter than anyone else leftist!! rotflmao! please read some history before you make another comment on here. and i am talking about history books, not believing social media sites and the garbage they spew at you! chris g says november 11, 2020 at 3:20 pm this has got to be one of the best summations of ‘how we got here’ i’ve ever seen. and i’ve seen a bunch of them. i’m going to copy/paste (steal…hey, i”m a ‘demonicrat, amiright?) but seriously, i’ll leave a link for others to come here and suffer the same indignities i just did. attempting to read some of the incomprehensible garbage being posted here as actual ‘werds’, hurts my ‘over educated’ brain. i was literally accused of being over educated by an old school mate from 50 years ago. i didn’t have the heart to tell him i only have a ged. how frigging crushing would that have been? see, libtards do care about others’ feelings!! ps: for the loons who don’t get it, here’s the breakdown. if you’re accusing someone with a ged of being over educated, your education has been much more dismal than even i could imagine. thanks bill cakin for a very well thought out expose’. i also don’t ‘fully’ endorse bill’s sentiments here, either. i do believe there are ‘good conservatives’ who actually just believe in fiscal and personal responsibility, limited government and those who still know (like warren buffet and his business partner) that the rich have enough to take care of the ‘have nots’. they endorse that. conservative minds explode. it’s under 10 minutes. you have the time: bill gates, charlie munger, warren buffett on the socialism versus capitalism debate   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9ovowl5cns marilee derosa says november 5, 2020 at 1:00 pm god bless you for telling the truth what the left are doing to our beautiful america and this president how they never let him transition in to his roll when he was elected and this corruption of thispresidential election i pray god deals with all of them chris g says november 11, 2020 at 3:35 pm as a very wise man once told me, “god is dead”. he’s not interested in ‘your’ silly machinations. he didn’t chose drumpf, nor biden. if he’s not dead, he just doesn’t give a shit about your politics. he’s got much more important things to do than ‘tarry’ in mortals delusions. born and raised a catholic american, i’m constantly reminded of the delusions of humans who seem to think god has time for their personal little peccadilloes, while running the entire universe. george carlin   religion   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r e2ndstue “”…and the invisible man has a special list of the 10 things he does not want you to do. and if you do any of these 10 things, he has a special place. full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish. where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry, forever and ever until the end of time.””   “but he loves you!” “he loves you, and he needs money!” “he always needs money. he’s all powerful, all perfect, all knowing, all wise. but, somehow; he just can’t handle money!!”” this kind of truth makes religious people recoil in sheer terror. that we might just be ‘on our own’ is more than many humans can handle. john schwerdt says november 5, 2020 at 1:01 pm we the left love this country, we just don’t like where you are taking it. stop poising people’s mind by writing this b.s. anonymous says november 6, 2020 at 11:29 pm your the poison !!! jo lewis says november 7, 2020 at 4:51 pm dear john, i love this country as well and legally chose to become an american for all the “opportunities” it offered that i could secure through merit, not handouts. you may agree/disagree with my perspective but i cannot, should not, and will not dismiss your points of view or anyone else’s for that matter simply because we have different perspectives on governmental philosophies. with that said, we constitutionally have rights that include “freedom of speech”. you don’t have to agree with conservative points of view (written or oral) and vice versa. however, we cannot shun, castigate, or squelch anyone’s right to that free speech (even if you perceive it as “bs”). you also do have a right to ignore it. this is a tactic i employ that serves me well in these contentious times. i am a very well educated woman who thinks for herself. i logically process facts and opinions and can distinguish between the two. i think both sides have points of merit or consideration. what is drowning out the positive or negative points of each side is in our “manner of expression” that has become filled with vitriol and hyperbole! if you truly love this country, as you say, then let people express themselves without fear of being shunned, castigated, or squelched and try to see past the vitriol and hyperbole. will you join me in an effort that looks at both sides respectfully (sans vitriol and hyperbole)? very respectfully yours, jo kenneth king says november 5, 2020 at 4:34 pm i’m praying for this !! i was wearing a mask because of the virus!! now i’m wearing one because i can’t stand this socialist air!! it makes me throw up !! anonymous says november 6, 2020 at 2:19 am you should ask someone to show you just how those masks work. like, it sounds as though you could use a visual aid to learn not to choke while you eat. i’ve heard that god works in mysterious ways. god almighty says november 6, 2020 at 9:19 am you sit there and say the left has been indoctrinated by their hatred for trump while acting the same way. this all falls back to how logic is used. if you think the left is the way they are because of a disrespectful person like trump, then you have been indoctrinated by your hatred for the left. why is logic so hard for people to understand? the problem lies with our education system. it sucks. america has the worst education system out of every developed country. you actually think this is just a black and white issue, it’s not. there is so much that goes into this and the simplest answer is quite simple. religion. remove religion and people will have the ability to critically think about stuff. instead, as we are now, you just assume it’s all about hate. hate is probably the lowest denominator in this situation. education is the top. how you are educated and taught and what you were taught is the main issue. the american history books talk very little about actual factual events in our history. for instance, christopher columbus was not the first person to discover america, we don’t know who was. that is still taught in schools and has no evidence to support it. thanksgiving is another problem. if people actually knew what actually happened, they would be sick to their stomachs. what we celebrate is just the aftermath, after the killings happen, after the diseases were given. america is literally built around lies and greed. those lies and greed are pushed year after year, generation after generation and people keep believing it even though we have the evidence to disprove its legitimacy but most of society is too scared of change. your inability to have a civil conversation is another example of our failed education system, you think it’s perfectly ok to mix opinions and facts as if they were the same thing. they are not. a fact has to have evidence to support it and without evidence, it is merely a theory or opinion, even calling it a theory is reaching. evolution has evidence to support it. it is a theory and a fact. your inability to understand other people’s opinions isn’t something you can use to argue with. it’s just funny how the average argument is based on opinions and nobody shares their evidence. they just call people names and actually are ok with that. i couldn’t for the life of me stoop to such a low level and disregard my intelligence given to me by years of human evolution. thousands of years ago they knew more than we do today because society has become dumber and dumber the older we get. too many people are too scared to just move on, they want to stay in the days where things were easier for them. people need to understand if we live in a community and have millions of different people in one area, there will be disagreements, there will be hatred, but to rise above that and not add yourself into that group. to be a better person than you are. we all can become better people and the only way to do that is to stop hating people who are different. which is another logic i don’t understand. republican/ democrat meets the other party. automatic hatred. a random person in the grocery store meets a random person in the grocery store and notices they have whole milk in their cart and not 2%. nothing happens. they politely pass each other and move on with their lives. why do you get so mad when someone has a different political view than you but not that someone drinks different milk than you? this is the utter stupidity i talk about. it makes no sense how people hate someone for no reason other than having different opinions. that is pure and utter stupidity at its finest and truly shows how far we have come as a country that isn’t saying much. we need to stop the hate. the hate divides us. the hate causes people like you and me to say things we don’t actually mean and cause more problems than we already have. youareamoron says november 7, 2020 at 10:48 pm negative moron, remove religion…..and this is where we are right now! how blind can you be? shame on your parents for raising you this way……oh well, i guess you can talk to your parents about it when you all are burnining in hell! you need god! truth teller says november 6, 2020 at 4:06 pm not the far left you mindless sucker of trump..i am 70 year old libertarian wounded war veteran and retired law enforcement..voted for biden..i am as far from far left as attilla the hun..traitor trump spoiled silver spoon draft dodging punk’s pasty fool joel says november 13, 2020 at 11:38 pm it’s past your bedtime, truthy. tammy reenstra says november 8, 2020 at 9:28 am i find it hilarious that you’re sitting here calling republicans bat shit crazy when you are the reason why this country is divided. i am an atheist as well, i also do not believe in god. but the one thing i did not lose was my common sense. making special little groups for everyone to fit into is called division. furthermore, i am simply disgusted that i have to go to work every day and pay taxes and do everything i’m supposed to do as an american, while leftist decide to give all of my money to the people who are too lazy to go to work, or people that come from another country that know how to use our own system against us and they do it very very well. you would not be able to get away with that in any other country but in america? sure!!!! come on over here and we will support you for the rest of your life. oh and that free check you get every week will go up for every child you have. and i find it hilarious that you’re talking about health care. when obamacare came into this country my mother couldn’t get the healthcare she needed because she couldn’t afford it. why are you ask? wasn’t that meant to help everybody? and now we have a man running this country who couldn’t even remember what position in our government he was running for. at the end of these four years when we are back in war, when our taxes are outrageous, when i am watching welfare recipients eat better than my family because i work for a living, i will look forward to hear how biden has helped me, a natural born american citizen who can’t get the same benefits that foreigners who don’t speak our language get. anonymous says november 10, 2020 at 4:09 pm amen to everything you just said…..worked 12 hour days taking care of sooooo many illegals with all their fake ids and demands for everything they could get for free while i a single parent was told that my children didn’t qualify for any help when it was time for college because i made too much money….and i owned my own home which i didn’t…. i had a mortgage. but every day i had to take care of these people using and abusing the system….. at times it was disheartening to know my tax dollars were giving them everything for nothing while we my children and i ate a lot of pbj and mac and cheese…… vera baptiste says november 1, 2020 at 3:34 pm to say the usa is “the one” country that is somehow the closest to utopian ideals screams of naivety. the five countries that make up scandinavia alone are some of the wealthiest and most democratic nations on earth, boasting significantly lower levels of poverty, homelessness, and joblessness that the us could ever hope to achieve. the us also being so staggeringly young, only ~245 years, and to have already suffered a civil war and to be on the brink of a second doesn’t speak well to our system’s efficacy. fluffypillow5 says november 2, 2020 at 12:22 pm maybe you didn’t notice that those five scandinavian countries don’t have open borders and don’t give free handouts to intruders. ricky says november 2, 2020 at 2:42 pm that’s because stupid people shouldn’t breed and the working class shouldn’t have to pay for it jb1215 says november 2, 2020 at 11:02 pm aren’t you sweet with your made up facts? are you talking about scandinavian nations that have done things such as ban skateboarding for over 10 years? norway, btw, because i know your liberal brain is compromised. why haven’t you moved to scandinavia it it is so utopian? please leave as soon as possible. sara says november 4, 2020 at 6:07 am you are very naive about scandinavia. for example sweden has povery, crime and social problems, and if you care about you personal civil liberties just forget about it. swedish government treats their citizens like cattle or children. the united states constitutional representative democracy government is one of the oldest in the world. scandinavian countries until fairly recently were ruled by aristocracy, until around the turn of the last century sweden was still decapitating prisoners with axes. stop fantasizing about leftist utopias, they don’t exsist. i’m swedish, and i prefer to spend most of my time in the usa. lbetancourt says november 4, 2020 at 9:39 am they don’t have the immigration issues the us does, they have extraordinarily high resource use, co2 emissions, some nordic countries tax at almost 56%, 2 have pretty high unemployment rates, and certainly when the us is footing your defense bills, funds can be directed elsewhere. dean v. h. says november 4, 2020 at 9:28 pm you know why? those scandinavian countries have a low population, high oil exports and 39% tax. quit using them as a model for socialism in the us. we have way to many people and not enough oil to sell. you want to eat? work. or beg from your family. leave my tax contributions alone. oh and that goes for your “free” healthcare and college too.. socialism doesn’t work. it’s been proven time and time again through history. get over it. anonymous says november 5, 2020 at 9:58 pm that’s right. carley coker says november 6, 2020 at 10:49 pm yes!!! kenneth king says november 5, 2020 at 4:38 pm i’m praying for this !! i was wearing a mask because of the virus!! now i’m wearing one because i can’t stand this socialist air!! it makes me throw up !! daniel says october 31, 2020 at 6:59 am thank god for using prophet munak to save my home with peace within 7 days of his spiritual intervention that change her mind about the divorce. i will forever recommend him to anyone who needs help because he has proven his power to me. here is also his contact to reach him holyprophet8@ gmail. com mark says november 2, 2020 at 5:43 pm i’m glad you’re not getting divorced ! please focus on jesus and not the power of munak , never heard of him ! jesus christ is lord over all ! anonymous says november 3, 2020 at 7:23 am what idiot’s become with this idea to separate the children from the parent’s neither animals don’t do that anonymous says november 5, 2020 at 10:57 pm perhaps the part you don’t know about this story is that most of these children did not have their parents with them. strangers were posting to be their parents and they were not related to them at all. do some research for yourself before you believe everything the media tells you. the media is trying to control people by twisting everything. joel says november 13, 2020 at 11:42 pm ask barry and corrupt joe about those cages, feces brain. pantalones says october 28, 2020 at 11:10 pm i think we are being too soft on the radicals. it appears they will not stop until they are stopped and from what i have seen, they are weak, and don’t seem to empathize with others who are not them, as instead they laugh and attack single targets perceived weak, in the most cowardly, and dispicable way. this is how truly, ridiculously, and un self aware these millennial antifas useless idiots really are. they beat on old folks and kids in groups of several, all the while they shout f the police,. but i have seen situations flip where one fit black guy scared the crap out of a dozen of them. running away while threatening they’re gonna call the cops… in other cases so called antifa leaders crying like bitches when they get caught, and arrested, or hit as they well deserve. keep in mind that just minutes earlier these same precious victims were beating down some random person with a bunch of others while giggling just for the hell of it. so yeah i don’t think it will take much to scare them into behaving themselves. i believe all it would take is a couple of batons or fists to the head and body, and we’re done. no more antifa and blm. the blm thugs released from jail once the antifas numbers thin out, they too will dissipate once they don’t have a frail wall of large minions of well off delusional millennial white people to hide behind,.they don’t wanna go back to jail, so they’ too will fade away. anonymous says october 29, 2020 at 9:37 pm so wrong, so sadly stupid… anonymous says november 3, 2020 at 4:10 pm what is wrong and sadly stupid? anonymous says october 30, 2020 at 7:16 pm last i checked, the white supremacist are evil and always attempt to make it seem like antifa. white supremacist agin down, drag people behind their vehicles, hang from trees, beat children, women, elders, attack for no reason except hate, burn and blow up churches. so who is evil? some police are kkk in a uniform. that why driving, walking or being black is a cause for brutality. what have any black done to you? nothing except be black in your hateful eyes fluffypillow5 says november 2, 2020 at 12:28 pm do you really believe it’s white supremacists that are throwing rocks at police, shining lasers in people’s eyes, setting fires, looting, rioting, and chanting “defund the police”, while they hold up black lives matter signs? when you said you last checked, what did you check? do you have any clue what you are talking about? as biden would say, “come on man”. anonymous says november 2, 2020 at 9:41 pm hey, i’m white, and live in the bronx, below the poverty level, on a 6 month seasonal work program, working for the nyc parks department. when this job is over, i will have to go back on welfare, the redundant programs, keeping you down, with a vicious circle! it’s really sad, for the past 60 years how minorities keep voting for democrats, and all they do is bring higher taxes, fund useless programs to keep people down, instead like the republicans, who feel the need to help on shorter terms, believing in the individual, but never bait by using the race card against, as the hypocritical democrat’s say they are for minorities, when they are definitely not? turning america into a socialist society, will destroy everything all our freedom stands for! the more government, they will control everyone! many people don’t like donald trump, because he is blunt, not politically correct, and goes after democrats, as well as republicans who are underhanded…. however, many will always think and are swayed by others, but if you look at the agenda for what it really is, take pride in yourself, and change yourself, without others pointing in the wrong direction! minorities wake up! if you live by the system, you’ll die by the system…. gypsy says november 5, 2020 at 10:51 pm wow, you touched my heart and i will pray for a miracle for you. i am middle aged and my family fled from a communist country. they came to america searching for freedom and an opportunity to give me a hopeful future, i will forever be thankful for the courageous decision they made. they were hard working parents not making much money. i qualified for free lunch at school, so that can give you the idea that their salary was not much. one thing i can tell you is that god was looking over our family. i went to college qualifying for financial aid and earned degrees that got me jobs where i was able to help pay the bills and had spending money left over. i ended getting a bachelor’s degree and now consider myself a middle class american able to support myself and my family. it was not that i loved to study but the determination that i was not going to spend my life border line to poverty. i was resilient and i was going to become someone who one day could offer my children a better life. my recommendation to you is to try to get some sort of skill to enable you to get a better paying job. if you qualify for welfare you can apply for a student grant. not sure if you are male or female. here are some technical job careers that pay descent money. beautician, electrician, plumber, bookkeeping, secretarial, landscaping, cna, certificate to work in convalescent homes, lpn. prayer is powerful, i recommend it highly. god will not fail you. follow him, because he loves you just the way you are. but it does help when we surrender to him and let him take over our lives. accept that we are sinners and that we need jesus in our lives. the word of god says that if you believe in me, that i am god and my son is jesus and i sent him to die for your sins, then i will give you eternal life.accept me as your lord and savior and you will never be thirsty. ask god to give you guidance and to place people in your life that will lead you in the right direction then take a leap of faith. do not allow negative people to discourage you. don’t let the devil place excuses in your head that you can’t do something. yes you can and god will plant a reasonable idea of a goal for you to achieve and he will help you through it. you need to have the mental strength to push yourself and not give up. do not let anyone or any circumstance distract you from your goal/dream in life. i am praying for you right now. blessings!! dr says november 3, 2020 at 8:40 am and we are suppose to believe this crack induced illusion of yours? sh says november 3, 2020 at 10:22 am you think that might be in part do to the fact of the very small numbers of people. the fact that they have requirements of individuals coming in to the country and don’t just give free stuff at the drop of a hat.im not against immagration as long as its legal. the same for my brother in law thats is hondurian. there are a million levels to this and bs media is part of the reason people are stupid and don’t look at all factors. coming for you says november 4, 2020 at 5:51 am maybe because they taught me what discrimination and hate is. i was blissfully ignorant of their hatred, and thought they were beautiful people. but i was wrong  they are animals. anonymous says november 4, 2020 at 6:18 pm there are no white supremacist. my father was white and he fought for this country all of this country. my husbands father fought in two wars for this country not just white people. you suburban women should shame yourself for your greater than thou ways. you voted for a socialist. our americans whether they are black or white all have the same opportunities to make their lives better. all this nonsense needs to stop. their is no black or white just americans. you spew hate out of your mouth causing more division in our country. tiredofleft says november 4, 2020 at 11:23 pm your systemic ignorance of history is just amazing. you are no older than 18 i suspect with the brain of a 4 year old . i do not blame you entirely. . the education system in the u s is much to blame over the past 45 years. . let me help you understand where you have been misled. slavery was democrats . kkk was the militant creation of the democrats after the civil war. keeping women and african americans from voting were democrats . jim crow voter suppression, owning property, owning firearms all yep ,did you guess it yet democrats . your ignorance on any subject involving history of a great nation is amazing.. your party will kill anything that kept them from keeping slaves. christianity and the republican party.. the lives of many were laid down to make this nation free . you are now willing to kill the bill of rights to make all slaves to the democrat communist party. communist tally over 100 million killed in the name of utopia this century. in the 1920s this divide and conquer was tried in the united states it failed . systemic ignorance has been instilled for 45 years by the education system democrats and the main stream media . tell me oh educated one is the kkk even relevant today the 1920s was peak under a democrat controlled government. so was the push to go communist. stop sitting in your parents basement playing video games get a job , do some travel around the world . come back and say this is not the the best most free country in the world. besides if you are so concerned about slavery do something about it in the world now where it exists today.. you are unable to help about the slaves in egypt , europe , africa , china , north america , south america ,asia , and all islands over human existence over thousands of years. but yet you do not raise a voice over slavery today . only what was done for 90 years that ended 155 years ago in the united states . please educate us about white privilege and your systemic ignorance . give any proof that anyone other than democrats communists and antifa is responsible for the violence and destruction of this country . reality says october 30, 2020 at 10:11 pm you’re the one who sounds like an insecure bully, looking for excuses to be violent, hateful, prejudiced, and racist. you are attempting to make your desired actions sound righteous but you just sound like a useless, lazy thug trying to attack others whom you’ve deemed guilty without seeming to understand the situation. i say that not based upon politics. i have no horse in this race. i say it as a passing observer who finds your attitude alarming because you’re just accusing strangers whom you do not know anything about of motivations that only you have. you could not possibly know what is in their mind, only yours. so you are interpreting their behavior as you live. maybe it’s time to step away from this nesting situation where you guys are just feeding into each other and fueling this hate cycle. just because you do not understand something doesn’t make it wrong just like even though you do not understand dome’s history, motivation, and situation, it doesn’t mean you should judge. because when we are in a shitty situation and bad behavior happens, do we think that you are terrible, awful, weak, and cowardly? i would guess not. i notice you have issues with discipline/authority and mocking/humiliation. i’m guessing you had a strict upraising. i have to say that you do not sound happy. you sound angry. there are plenty of reasons to be angry in this world. it is surely the easy route to go, for sure. for me, i just realized one day it was a waste of precious energy that could be spent productively, creating something, having fun with loved ones, and doing something physical so i really grind out that anger. it’s a healthier and more valuable way to spend your life. or keep screaming at your media like a deranged neo nazi, thinking that one day something with change and you won’t look back at your life in regret as wasted opportunities to do something more. it’s up to you. sarid says november 5, 2020 at 3:44 am first of all this country , america, is suppose to respect all people. this means separation of church and state. this is not true. one must put their hand on the bible and swear to tell the truth. geez just look at what the presidents of this country have accomplished. a. they are all white males b. they are all christians per say. c. andrew jackson who is on the $20.00 bill took the american indians on the trail of tears to take their land away from them. fdr gave social security to all and once you put in to it no matter what party you are in you get retirement money. next: pro choice means women have a choice a personal choice to choose if they can handle having a baby or not. next : the women in this country are punished with words and blocks to do what they believe is necessary for them to handle their lives. . next. instead of women being responsible for birth control and getting more dangerous surgeries to tie tubes when is the last time yu heard men who play encourage other men to go out there and ensure that women do not get pregnant by getting the male version of birth control, vasectomy. next. mud slinging seems to be taking place with inflammatory statements by the conservatives by saying that the left hate america..now let’s get over this one..poor people came to this country to get a start. at one time the american dream existed despite the fact that signs on restaurants read no dogs and no irish. next. it took women 75 years to get the vote now let’s talk about fear from men on this one.. smiles.. 75 years to block women to stop them from voting! next. education. please explain to me why i wasn’t taught that it took 75 years to give women the vote? next. why do chronically ill middle class people lose their homes due to high medical bills when in other civilized countries everyone has the opportunity to get medical help free of charge even if they have to wait? i can’t accept that any thinking person would find kicking a person down when they are sick or after a surgery is correct behavior. i can be at this all day…but will not . human dignity is supposed to be what people came to this country for and yet so many here carry guns including children and shoot and kill others senselessly. people came to this country believing that their lives will be respected no matter what walk of life they come from and yet we have lynchings, house burnings and verbal mud slinging to those who are different and who are peaceful this country states all men are created equal.. i ask what men and why are women not included in this statement? we know why women were not included in this statement now don’t we! it is because back then women had no rights a throw back from victorian england. jesse says october 31, 2020 at 11:52 pm > it appears they will not stop until they are stopped and from what i have seen, they are weak sheer hubris. sheer !@#$ing hubris. we have every right to have representation in politics, and we will fight for that representation for as long as it takes. you sound like you want to exterminate us. you may test your assumption that we are all defenseless hippies who won’t touch a gun with a ten foot pole at your own convenience. no name says november 1, 2020 at 10:20 am well said! yes i be leave they will fade away once the democraps quits paying them. anonymous says november 1, 2020 at 4:57 pm amen yeh!!!! triangle_vex says november 1, 2020 at 7:30 pm yes, i agree 100%. i think that apart of why these antifa shitheads get away with so much is precisely because they look so weak and wimpy, so people either view them as “children” and go easy on them, or simply underestimate how despicable the braindead hyenas can get when in large packs. notice how the average antifa loser tends to look like a scrawny 16 year old even when in their 30s? their youthful appearances protect them from suffering the proper punishments. we should keep that in mind when dealing with such people, as they have likely gotten away with too much already. the amount of conservatives, moderates, and sensible people responding with “just take the high road” is sickening. to that i say hell no. taking the high road doesn’t work with nasty people who celebrate cowardly tactics and property destruction. what i would give to beat the shit out of a twig armed sniveling pantifa idiot. too bad i actually have commitments and can’t spend my night in the streets where the stores are peacefully looted. analysis complete says november 3, 2020 at 4:15 pm the pattern of most of the black shootings has been thugs not having any respect for authority and not following the commands of authority. simple “yes, sir” and “no, sir” and total compliance will ensure that the arrest is fair and nobody gets hurt   no matter what color you are. it is when this authority is challenged and assaulted that the authorities have to, and rightly should, neutralize and arrest the perpetrator. this is very simple and i have witnessed the “attitude” that gets these uncompliant people in trouble with the police once they start spewing forth with their indignance instead of just simply complying. nobody talks about it though. the police do not say   “look, simply work with us and do what we say as we are legal authorities and we will treat you respectfully.” and blm and such do not say, “hey folks, quit resisting and just face the music. have personal responsibility and stand up for what you deserve, but do it the right way.” brandishing a weapon at police will never end well and anyone who does this is simply begging for the result. you’re not brave   you’re not special   you’re not going to win. it is like heckling a seasoned comedian on stage   the man with the microphone is going to win no matter what you think or how fair it looks. simple respect for others is important. arleen says november 6, 2020 at 5:03 pm i agree. its not blm its elm. that means for the brainless that every life matters. lol says november 4, 2020 at 9:06 pm a boomer wrote this for sure lmao islam sucks says october 28, 2020 at 11:00 pm i think we are being too soft on the radicals. it appears they will not stop until they are stopped and

don’t you prove your god exists first! just another example of a weak minded simpleton who needs a sky daddy. you all have been trying to argue that there is a god for years. yet not one single time have any of you produced any evidence. you rely on “faith.” the very reason people give when they have no evidence. so are you talking about allah? thor? zeus? which one? lauren says november 6, 2020 at 10:28 am you rely on faith too, you just don’t realize it. you rely on liberalism as your faith. everyone has a desire to believe in something to make them feel like a good person and you believe in liberalism and collectivism which will swallow you whole and eat you alive in the end. and that’s ok maybe that’s what has to happen for you to finally learn that the very revolution you support will rip you apart. you are just as invested in your faith as any christian. it’s just that one of us is worshipping god and the other is worshipping man. anonymous says october 25, 2020 at 8:41 am you must not know a single democrat and only read and listen to far right news outlets. the left as you call it are people who are compassionate as christianity has taught us to be. we don’t expect utopia but we do expect humanity which trump is incapable of. children separated from their refugee status seeking parents shows he cannot be empathetic. trump “loves” his country by praising dictators and doing nothing about russia paying isis to kill our soldiers. he is a pathalogical liar. i don’t want a president who lies to me daily and oh, doesn’t represent me because i didn’t vote for him. claiming the left hates america is a childish and ridiculous statement to make and shows you aren’t fit to make political statements. pc says october 25, 2020 at 2:14 pm you have bought into every single lie that has been spoon feed to you. all you need to do is do a google search and find the list of countries with single party or socialist governments china tops that list and they have been waiting us. just as with all predators and it’s best to think of a child predator they will tell you everything is going to be wonderful, everything is going to be “free”! healthcare, college, no taxes except for the very rich, etc., why not? as long as you’re not analyzing the logistics of how any of this could be possible why not the sun and the moon too! back to the predator if the democratic party is allowed to take control in 2021 this country will never be the same and biden will not be the president, they will give medical reasons for him stepping down and the real socialists are waiting in the wings to take over. anonymous says october 25, 2020 at 3:34 pm and yet once again these same corrupt career politicians had to admit when finally pressed by president trump that it was actually joe biden and barack obama who had the children in those cages yes joe biden they were built in 2014 president trump was not president yet? i thank god ive walked away from the democrats because of their behavior towards a sitting president not to mention the very lies an deception propaganda bs fear tactics that they have been using for decades. wake up says november 4, 2020 at 1:37 am obama admitted to building but trump used them. smh that is just basic facts. no wonder a majority of right wing people perpetuate false news more than any other political party in the usa. some says the most stupid sh$7 on facebook or twitter and you guys scramble and share as if it’s facts. dear god we are literally domed regardless of what party sits in the white house, senate or any decision making seats. a majority of republicans belief anything as fact as long as it’s from the right. 99% of this over the top bs can be fact checked with ease. such a shame to watch half of america become sheeple to trumtopia. bet you will be first to sign up for his call to eliminate anyone who doesn’t agree with your dear dictator. look up the history of “the big lie” your right on track to become his little as guard. anonymous says november 4, 2020 at 9:10 pm you are an idiot .the children were not in the custody of obhama or biden ,trump is the one who put them in the caves as a matter of fact putin has a lot of people in caves and when he anecdotal trump he said,i think it’s a good idea .let’s be real you all know what trump did and who he is ,that makes you a party to his depravity. stay away from the koolaid,soon be will end up in prison maybe some of you will be joining him if you keep doing his dirty work for him! anonymous says october 25, 2020 at 3:51 pm i do know many democrats who are christians, i was a democrat for over 35 years and i decided to walk away because of all the lies and deception from the mainstream media’s corrupt career politicians hollywood elites who have shown their true colors and for the 1st time i’m embarrassed of all of them. there’s no gray area written in the bible there’s right an wrong an anyone who is telling the truth knows that they way they have been treating our president is absolutely wrong. i will not be apart of all their power money grubbing greedy evil agendas towards not only the president but towards american’s as a whole. joseph belvedere says october 25, 2020 at 3:54 pm you do know that the pictures of children separated from their parents at the border in cages are 1. doctored to push an agenda by removing context and dates, and 2. are pictures and videos taken from the obama administration right? it’s hilarious that you liberals think that anyone right of obama is “far right”. by your standards even obama is too conservative. all because you can’t fathom a society that’s not your heathenous dogmatic socialist agenda. the left is a cancer and cancers must be killed before they get too big. it’s high time we americans cut your cancerous ideology of suffering out. anonymous says october 26, 2020 at 11:36 am please read article below from the national immigration law center @ nilc.org may 12, 2016 president obama ramps up family separations ice actions violate due process and will send waves of fear throughout immigrant communities washington   the obama administration intends to ramp up raids against central american mothers and children fleeing violence, according to news reports from reuters and other outlets. in forging ahead with more of these planned raids, which were first announced in late 2015, the administration is turning a blind eye to the many serious due process violations that took place during the last round of raids, which have been repeatedly highlighted by attorneys, advocates, educators and elected officials, and the shockwaves of fear they set off throughout the immigrant community. attorneys with the national immigration law center, who visited mothers detained during the first rounds of these raids, reported clear instances in which women were not fully aware of their legal rights or adequately informed of how to get in touch with their lawyers, even when they had strong asylum claims because they were afraid of being returned to their home countries of guatemala, honduras and el salvador all of which rank as some of the most dangerous places in the world for women. below is a statement from marielena hincapié, executive director of the national immigration law center: “these military style raids against mothers and children fleeing violence are reprehensible. we are outraged that the obama administration has once again decided to engage in a pr stunt that serves only to create fear and paralyze everyday life and civic participation in immigrant communities, in our schools, and in workplaces. the federal government’s failure to address the violent conditions that are causing women and children to flee in the first place mean that these raids are a complete and utter policy failure. “the damage caused by such raids extends far beyond the families swept away and broken apart by them. central american students will be kept away from schools for fear that they, too, will be detained and deported. u.s. citizen classmates of raid victims will be left without their friends. and entire immigrant communities will become even more afraid of participating fully in our communities and society. “how these families fleeing violence are being treated reflects a blatant hemispheric bias. president obama refuses to view increasing violence in central america as a regional problem that needs a regional response and somehow denies that the people fleeing violent conditions in central america are, like their syrian counterparts across the globe and other vulnerable populations, simply seeking refuge. “it is incomprehensible that president obama continues to rely on this failed deterrence approach, which will do nothing to deter a mother’s decision to make the perilous journey north in order to save her family’s life. instead, parents will fear sending their children to school or to a medical appointment. these proposed immigration raids will serve only to confuse immigrant communities about an administration that has detained and separated our families in record numbers. “these raids and his deportation record could be president obama’s immigration legacy. those who hope to succeed him will have to work that much harder to regain the trust of immigrant voters and their allies, making their journey to the white house that much more difficult.” none says november 7, 2020 at 11:33 am fake news! anonymous says october 26, 2020 at 11:41 am read eileen statement below it’ll show you how much of a fool you are. the ironic thing is there are a ton of decent liberals but they believe they are supporting ideas that are not true they are misled the far left and aggressive hateful people control what used to be liberal party used to be decent people many still are like i said misled actually the conservatives of today are more in line with liberals of 20 years ago. this is why so many 40 and 60 year olds vote left foolishly thinking that they’re supporting things that used to be our democratic party. the democratic party was good enough 20 or 30 years ago and that’s what the republican party has become. things are about as good as they can be as far as base ideas it’ll take some work to clean up the reality from there but we’re not going to change anything for the better by changing the structure of government definitely not going left. the vote for whom you wish that’s the difference between me and you i don’t bash people for voting differently yet that is a theme with liberals the comparison of people attacked for supporting trump to the other way around is way misproportion one of the things you support by supporting liberal party is that intimidation and not recognizing person’s right to have a different view because you’re supporting a party which is so hostile, violent & intimidating that hostility essentially is a platform. like i said reblow from a person who’s lived in communism and there’s no denying we’re headed toward communism a lot of the big money people who are behind this are beginning to admit it soon they will openly admit it all. you probably a decent democrat who thinks that the democratic party is like they were decades ago. it’s not. i switched caryn whipple says october 26, 2020 at 12:28 pm 💯💯💯💯💯 every sentence of anonymous was a lie. anonymous says november 4, 2020 at 5:02 pm your projecting again! trumpsterss rockin' rebel says october 26, 2020 at 2:34 pm liar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! montgomery lines says october 26, 2020 at 5:10 pm that was bush who sent our boys to the desert. obama kept them their for our economy. just for extra measure he sent plane or 2 full of combat virgins from oklahoma just to prove he is an idot fuck. maybe we should all head to the truth the real truth that either one of you wouldnt like. i can fucking tell you there is not a republican or democrat circle in that round table. good luck, ill take the truth. sianara craig says october 26, 2020 at 8:35 pm it’s a fact the left hates america… you must only listen to cnn. i can go on and on and show how programmed you are and honestly a complete idiots democrats want socialism and communism and are blatantly stating it. it’s never worked and has completely failed and ruined countries. we live in the greates country in the world and now people who have been in office for 40 or more years that have accomplished zero want to change it. great idea. we do need to make adjustments… like regulating social media and news outlets that provide false info and are the reason for all the negative that is going on. but your a fool if you think voting democrat will be a positive. i am a lifelong democrat that switched to republican 4 years ago…. the far left is taking over the party and poisoning the minds of our children and society…. i am baffled how any can vote democrat but watched the netflix documentary social dilemma and realize now why we have the issue we do in this country and why you can never have a educated debate with anyone from either party and potentially get them to see the other side. this country is doomed unless social media is regulated and the fact alll these media outlets are ru.n by far left democrats who are billionaires and want to control the people and you fall for it is beyond me…. trump 2020 rtbrown says october 26, 2020 at 9:21 pm if you don’t like live in the great free country in all the world , i will be glad to pack you hobo bag on a stick and send on a one way row boat to gillian’s desert island anonymous says october 26, 2020 at 9:36 pm i have a democrat or die mother in law. all i’ve heard from her for the past 35 years of marriage is hate speech about everyone who questions the policies of the democratic party. she purposely starts emotional arguments that have no basis in facts, just angry emotions. she is racist and considers herself to be above others. my husband and i are trying to teach our children respect for others, our religion, and our country, but it’s hard to explain to the children grandma’s utter lack of respect for that which we hold dear. she is a widow recently and we want to include her in our holidays. she makes it so very hard. when reading your emotional, irrational and ignorant views, i wonder if she wrote your comments. so sad. robert says october 27, 2020 at 12:36 pm demonicrats are veiled they see what is good as bad and bad is good we have only 2 choices god is dividing those who are on the left and middle and calling yourself a christian and being democrat is an oxymoron the democrat agenda is for the enemy and mans goal to achieve being god and rule the world yes i believe we are truly in the last days as bible prophecies describe and god is in control anonymous says october 28, 2020 at 9:30 am history warned all this both partys work together making policy thats best for big buisness and themselves…republicans party of tthe koch brothers ideology and democrats never put up fight or punch back, no after they get some shitty legislation passed etc the dems and chuck schumer or are really republicans playing dems , what we now have is a 2 party system whos goal is too tear down the social fabric of our emocracy… which is why we need multiparty open primaries not closed, because these people are the biggest phonies and cowards and they no in a free and fair election they have no chance.. rkin says october 29, 2020 at 9:36 pm you did not know what you are talking about. democrats being loving peaceful individuals. i guess they are the same one’s protesting in the streets, destroying business, injuring police. press that encourages violence and por liberal. press has you brain washed lee says october 31, 2020 at 12:18 am three party not two, the far left is weeding out the old democrat party as they will become the new democratic party at the same time trying to break up the republican party to become the dominant party. …that’s why the left is owned by big tech. and the news for what you see and hear. .controling people mind’s , to stay in control of population growth and your views. we don’t want people thinking for themselves naw do we.. jesse says october 31, 2020 at 11:56 pm > demonicrats you expect us to take you seriously when you sink to such a low level as to call names? anonymous says october 27, 2020 at 1:19 pm i don’t understand why every little tiny thing he does wrong you guys have to make a big deal out of it. obama made mistakes but democrats were just like oops didn’t mean to do that and acted like it didn’t happen but when trump makes a mistake you guys jump on it like he just blew up the world. republicans did not criticize obama for little tiny mistakes he made but you guys do. your not compassionate. your inconsiderate. fucktrump says october 30, 2020 at 1:19 am seriously? sean hannity did a segment about obama using “fancy” mustard on his hot dog!. and oh my gosh, remember obama’s tan suit?! don’t forget about michelle obama showing her bare arms! trump is a completely inept, corrupt, racist, misogynistic, narcissistic liar. he deserves all of the criticism he gets and then some! anonymous says october 30, 2020 at 7:09 pm lies on a pandemic that killed 230k and counting is not a mistake. tell the families that lost their love ones, oh, i am sorry i made a mistake. then the idea that democrats aren’t spiritual. another lie that trump spew. bottom line don’t judge before getting to know people. we have seen what trump d and its degrading with no morals at all. as a country, we should spend time working together and understanding we are all different but made from god. look where we are now and as we speak, the enemy is plotting. republicans sit back on their high horse claiming so innocent. fact, there is no perfect person in the world. there are crazy people in all race not just one. republicans fail to see both sides. always trying to limit some people rights while enforcing theirs on people. racism, divide, violence, or hate begins with a narrow minded person with no values or morals. then attempt to justify by character assassination. many of the same people that judge are on both sides but undercover. why make it about party? its should be about character , values, morals, integrity, honesty and competence. equal/freedom means equal for all not just some larue sanchez says october 27, 2020 at 2:32 pm whose policy? mr obama and the democrats policy.. president trump called on the democrats to “end the horrible law that separates children from their parents once they cross the border in the us. president trump has reported his assertion that he inherited and ended a policy from president obama that separates children from parents who cross the us and mexico border illegally. president trump ended that policy, however, some family separations have continued to take place. president trump signed an executive order in june 2018 reversing the policy (of mr obama), promising to keep families together. a court order then ended separations and required families to be reunited. so it seems to me mr. democrat of the rightist that you are very leftist way out there leftist and have no clue what you’re talking about you would rather blame our great president donald trump then to give the blame to who it really belongs which would be your president mr. obama. so it seems the gentleman who wrote this political article does have business writing political articles and it seems like you have no business replying to them unless you want to reply with the truth and and get the facts before opening your democratic mouth which we know the democrats are the liars. anonymous says october 30, 2020 at 12:14 am what planet do you live on?? matt ossen says november 1, 2020 at 7:52 pm that is a flat out lie, most of what is written here is anonymous says november 4, 2020 at 9:18 pm you are a liar just like trump,and you know it! he is losing the election because everybody knows he’s a psychopath you better watch who you support as psychopath care for no one but themselves trump to a tee.when his trumpeters are not around he says terrible things about you all.i know someone in the white and they told me. when he loses they will come forward and you will all look like moore for believing him. anonymous says october 27, 2020 at 9:12 pm you should do your homework. the democratic party under roosevelt started your communist party that all democrats wish they could have and bring forth their utopia read something anonymous says october 27, 2020 at 9:17 pm if you can watch something other than cnn or cnbc go to amazon prime watch the show hidden agenda and maybe you’ll change your mind about the democratic party unless you love socialism and the total destruction of america then keep your thoughts the way they are please know what you are talking about says october 30, 2020 at 10:14 pm and which type of socialism are you referring to specifically? jimmie chapman says october 28, 2020 at 6:47 am jim chapman subject matter “democrats” we are democrats. we are the best democrats ever. why?? we will never vote for a democrat. we have studied both sides and conclude. which is the best of both evils. god warns those without sin cast the first stone. democrats ignore this and throw their stones regularly. we will only vote for the candidate who has america in their best interest and it’s very easy to see that this is trump. we encourage other democrats to follow our guide. examine yourself and be truthful to yourselves. to vote democratic is to enslave yourself. democrat means “to demonstrate evil. i have found this to be true through the years and my view has never changed…why?..?. trump has built our nation up. democrats wants to tear it down. democrat run cities are showing the ugly truth of their ways and this is not gods way either. sure trump is way from perfect. how about you, are you perfect….if so ,then go ahead and cast your stones…..but you must be perfect in order to do so. be very careful what you wish for, you just may receive it regrettably .we wish the very best for our nation and for now , this is trump. we feel that god is in control, and what god wants ,this is what will prevail. trump was gods choice. we certainly hope he has not changed his mind for us this time around. darrell sprout says october 28, 2020 at 8:33 am obviously you’re oblivious to real facts . the left is not for the american people . you may not agree with all that president trump stands for , but he stands for the american people , israel and pro life . that’s good enough for me . have a blessed day wayne says october 28, 2020 at 8:47 am christian or liberal? cant be both. if you think we should kill children in the womb because “its a womans choice” whether to butcher her child for her self idolatry then you are not “christ like” which is the definition of christian. your misinformation about what it means to be a follower of christ is sickening. dont speak for us again. millie o'donnell says november 1, 2020 at 1:39 pm the pope is a liberal. god hates fascism. hoped says october 28, 2020 at 9:41 am have one word for this statement…”perfect!’ l.l. says october 28, 2020 at 12:02 pm 1. childer were never separated from their parents. most in the images i have seen are adult men posing at underage teenagaers…. they are older teenagers who most likely came to the usa border by themselves as i see in the caravans (90% youger men who are not with a women) but moron you would never think to do investigations of your own… i did them and that is what i found, you see i am smart… smarter than you as all are on the right side of the isle. we are not lazy we actully do not do what you accuse of us of doing which is watch tv and believe all we hear………………….. which is exactly what you do proving how evil you are and what a hypocrite all on the left are. if there are small children there the evil hispanic parents abandoned them in the hope they could do chain migration in the near future. hey, dummy remember when the hispanics sent busloads of infants to the usa? no, you’re too stupid. they did it to do chain migration (they are cheats, thieves, and utterly evil). 2. democrats and liberals are the party of the secular, which means they only bring god in when they need to. god is mostly just something they use to prove a point, they do not worship god, or love god, or follow his rules. so keep that out of your conversation here, your not with god, we both know it. 3. idiot the only one catering to dictators has been the libs, dems, left. site one instance of trump praising a dictator…. site one instance of trump pay isis i dare you, there are none. but i can show you obama doing all the things you claim. i can do this because i am good on the inside and every smart/informed… you are neither. trump has also not lied about one thing…………. but biden has lied about millions of things and is now being exposed. the left does hate the usa, they say it all the time publically, your mental illness is showing as you deny what reality it. your day is coming evil lib. god has got his eyes on all you evil doers. he is sick of what you do to the rest of the good people and he is going to make sure you know who is good and who is evil, you will be marked for evil and as part of the underworld and there is nothing you can do to change. trump will win and all his children will run for president for the next 50 yrs. until all the libs have either left the usa or aged out and passed away! no more libs ever in the usa, god is with us and this is what god wants. your war is not against god’s chosen on trump or god’s children who support pres. trump, your war is against god himself. so go fight god, good luck with that. satan whom you have been following will not be powerful enough to help you win the battle over god. god bless america and god bless pres. trump. trumps for the next 100 yrs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahahaha you have already lost, maybe migrate to a corrupt nation like china where satan rules you will feel more at home there! bubba says october 28, 2020 at 5:27 pm god praise you because you do speak the truth, and so many of us are sick and goddamn tired of the left twisting shit around imagine all that this country could have gotten done in the last four years if these little whiny bastards would’ve at least tried to work with our great president. just imagine but no they spent shit loads of money trying to build a fire to get him removed when there was never even any smoke some people need to go to the electric chair for real some people need to pay the ultimate price because in america‘s eyes they are the reason why our country has been in civil unrest. and now let’s bring the leftist media into it as well they are a great deal of the problem there needs to be repercussions when you print lies just so you can get the sheep to follow it’s fucking sickening and we are getting tired of itgod bless you and your family i don’t wish for bad things to happen to people i just want to see those accountable get certain justice i think a lot of people do yo says october 28, 2020 at 7:38 pm true tru good nob yo says october 28, 2020 at 7:34 pm why would democrats want to give money to illegals and not legal people that lost there job ? so in my opinion your full of it. drew mead says october 29, 2020 at 5:15 am this is in responce to the above comment. i stopped reading your stupidity when you blamed trump for separating children of illegal aliens from their parents and detaining them when this action is in direct responce to changes in the law when obama was in office! christianity also preaches against murdering unborn children, it preaches against murder in general. it sure wouldn’t support murdering police, rioting, stealing, etc. politics in general are satanic in nature, open your eyes and stop being a moronic sheep kurgin says october 30, 2020 at 2:28 pm i truly know you need to fact check your facts. you facts are not the truth. i respect other ideas and thought as long as they are based on truth. you need to ask questions and seek answers. ask for the receipts opinions are not truth! carrie says october 30, 2020 at 10:29 pm agreed! i wondered where these democrats were as i’d seen neither hide nor hair of these rare radical types that are seeking a utopia. that’s some seriously old school zanadu crap. truly bizarre!! antifa is not necessarily millennials, and f the police is my generation. beat on old folks and kids  not seen any evidence of this, but lots of video of police doing this while exercising excessive and unnecessary force upon unarmed elderly and children protesting peacefully. there’s a lot to unpack there but it’s unbelievably overwhelming and interwoven does just no. what i will do however is just point how laughable it is that the poster said dems lack empathy then proceeds to describe them in an incredibly heartless manner and what violence he wishes upon them after degrading objectifying and dehumanizing them. anonymous says november 1, 2020 at 6:58 am omgosh you are joking right… the pathological liner is mr. biden….listen to facts… biden has so 47 years of documented plagiarism, lies about is education, where he was educated, lies about his policies, lies about his involvement with money laundering…so an so on… oh, and obama’s administration built the cages…. and in no way can i judge your christian heart, that is between you and god, but supporting an agenda and party that supports killing babies is what i would call ungodly. anonymous says november 1, 2020 at 5:01 pm are you crazy you will soon soon see if democrats win everything we taxpayers will go to hell and worse dannymadness says november 1, 2020 at 9:55 pm literally every thing you said is the opposite of reality, yes all those”right wing media” outlets…theres so many….its totally not true that 99 percent of media are all anti trump anti conservative anti christian far far far left neo marxists freaks….nope thats not real at all……cause the two gay commies on cnn told me so…..and theres nothing christian or moral about the left there godless abortion/trans kids pushing/ immoral luciferian marxists freaks. and your as brainwashed as they get. fluffypillow5 says november 2, 2020 at 12:32 pm you don’t want a president who lies so you are voting for biden? no wonder the communists call you people useful idiots. love the usa says november 2, 2020 at 10:35 pm what rock have u been living under all your life,these far left idiots won’t be satisfied until we crush them to meaningless pieces of shit that they are,i would have loved to have them in my line of sight in vietnam,oh i’m sorry they wouln’t defend their country like so many of us have so we can have the freedom we have today!!!!!! dean v. h. says november 4, 2020 at 9:34 pm people seeking refugee status don’t sneak in. they apply for citizenship. how many can come stay at your house? leave my tax dollars alone. i ain’t paying for them. p.s. obama and biden started the immigration separation thing. look it up. lauren says november 6, 2020 at 10:33 am you aren’t compassionate. it’s not compassionate to point a gun at someone’s head and demand their money so you can give it to someone else. when you take someone’s choice away you take away their ability to be moral and to be good. that doesn’t make you a good person. it makes you a thief and a hypocrite. good compassionate people don’t support blm and antifa collectivist, mob like revolutionaries who want to burn down this entire country. now that it looks like dementia joe will win they will only be more embolfened. don’t come crying to us when they burn down your business, if you even work. you do hate america because you don’t support the ideas this nation was founded on liberty, individualism, limited government, personal responsibility, judeo christian values. you hate all of those things, so you absolutely do hate america. you can’t love something that you want to fundamentally transform. the sad part is that you will be ripped apart by the philosophy that you support. it will eat you alive. and i don’t want to hear you come crying to us when that happens. because we tried to warn you. but you have these pipe fantasies about free healthcare and free this and free that. you aren’t going to get any of that. you are being deceived. good people don’t treat their fellow americans like less than humans. good people don’t endorse those who harass citizens in restaurants. good people don’t call everyone a racist who disagrees with them. good people don’t believe in abortion up until 9 months. good people don’t throw a 4 year long temper tantrum when they don’t get their way. you aren’t a good person. you’re a collectivist. you’re a marxist. anonymous says october 23, 2020 at 10:46 pm can you quit spewing more of the bullshit? trumps hated because of his mouth. left wing doesn’t hate america if anything both isles are under the same party more now than usual. republican…end of day their all shot heads and citizens are suffering because it seems that only the rich mean shit to politicians and us struggling to make ends meet 2 jobs and all don’t matter we are majority! we shoulder 98 percent of the work with ought is those fucks would have nothing someone needs to remind them that! fluffypillow5 says november 2, 2020 at 12:35 pm if the left didn’t hate america then they wouldn’t want to radically change it. you don’t change things you love. how can you claim the left doesn’t hate america when it calls america systemically racist, and said america was founded on racism? hello? do you have any clue what you are talking about? anonymous says october 21, 2020 at 9:58 pm the most “hated” gets my vote!! cindy says october 22, 2020 at 11:03 pm mine too irene says october 24, 2020 at 5:53 pm i grew up in a socialist country run by the communist party. it was hell. all those (liberals) who are advocating socialism in america should learn from eastern europe, russia, cuba, venezuela, and others. anonymous says october 25, 2020 at 3:36 pm amen to that yes it’s about time ive walked away from the democrats who have been doing everything and anything to undermine the president simply because they lost an election? oh my goodness gracious have my eyes been open like never before. anonymous says october 26, 2020 at 4:55 pm your problem irene, is that no one ever said what you’re claiming. fluffypillow5 says november 2, 2020 at 12:37 pm wrong! you haven’t been paying attention to the democrat candidates have you? world traveler says november 1, 2020 at 3:44 pm irene, is there anything to be learned from the very successful democratic countries like luxembourg and switzerland? two of the world’s wealthiest nations? anonymous says october 25, 2020 at 7:54 am me too! i’d rather be right and think for myself, than go with the herd that is being manipulated by the media. trump 2020! silent majority against socialism!!🇺🇸🇺🇸 anonymous says october 25, 2020 at 3:44 pm president trump vp pence im actually voting for republicans for the 1st time in my life. thank you to the mainstream media’s corrupt career politicians hollywood elites who don’t care about us our families or even the very future of america. the only thing they care about is their own personal evil politic agendas that americans have voted against in 2016 and the democrats lost and they can’t seem to get over it? it’s a disgrace to all americans regardless of what there political views are? bruce m johnson says october 27, 2020 at 1:25 pm facebook wont post my

and won’t mention a peep about biden’s corruption. the media are truly the enemy of the people! anonymous says october 25, 2020 at 8:05 am mine too! anonymous says october 19, 2020 at 9:31 pm looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool ksh says october 16, 2020 at 9:14 pm i’m older than most of you….relax and enjoy life while you can. stay armed stay smart stay ready for anything…..keep the problems of the country in the pockets of the business men and buy war bonds……lol jason p. wawiernia says october 16, 2020 at 1:49 am this article, and not even the article itself but another underlying trend that i have seen in online journalism and “news” reporting, perfectly shows the clear intentions of the left versus the right, what single aspect is it you may ask? well it’s what we are all doing right now…….commenting! that’s right, comments, simple comments, the ability to leave comments on a news story or article is paramount to the credibility of the contents laid out by the author. i have been keeping track and making notes of this matter for well over a year now and what i have found is extremely one sided: left leaning new sites do not allow commenting, try to find one….you can’t, why is that? because the left don’t care what you have to say they don’t care what you think you can think what they tell you to think what they say is fact undisputable fact and you cannot deny it or say anything about it there’s no room for public interest. on the other hand, just like this new site right here that we are enjoying the freedom of speech and the ability to comment, you will find this on the majority of right leaning news outlets, why is that? well that’s because the right is just that….right! we believe in free speech being allowed to voice your opinions criticize what is written and in doing so truth is almost certain to be found. this is the world we are living in and i’m sorry if you’re angry and want to scream and yell at me and call me names and say that i’m stupid but that’s your right so feel free go right ahead and i will respect that but next time you’re flipping through your washington state journal, new york time or yahoo news stories, think about that as you try to find somewhere to comment and realize that you can’t…… and with that i take my leave, i respect your opinion, i care for your well being and i wish you the best, god bless! james mcardle says october 11, 2020 at 11:58 am wow, dude, you might actually be an idiot. you just threw a whole bunch of words against a wall, but none of them make any sense. please stop. anonymous says october 13, 2020 at 3:15 am i don’t know what’s going to come up here but yeah he just went on a complete false rant period and it’s kind of funny lol rusty wallace says october 24, 2020 at 6:19 pm marxism has never worked, nationalism has never worked, adolph hitler’s story can tell you that. the far left say, socialism is the way, it has never worked. try the socialists ‘work in progress’ in venezuela, unless you are in a coma and not listening, they are not doing too well, that is unless you are watching cnn. try the tried and proved truth, capitalism in america, with freedoms no other country on earth enjoys. the freedoms americans enjoy everyday are at a premium, that’s just one reason everybody wants to move to america. home of the great because of the free. in the end, “the truth will out”. a book has been out for a long time, it chronicles the liberals lose and go on to lose for an eternity. god bless america, land that i love. anonymous says october 28, 2020 at 9:43 am you really are delusional,scandanavian countries and canada are far and away better then the us,you only nitpicked the worse or failed examples because they were more dictatorships then what marx envisioned anonymous says november 1, 2020 at 9:23 pm um…no, they’re not. america is the greatest country in the world. it is only country in the world where freedom of expression and the right to self defense are constitutionally enshrined. sure, it’s not perfect, but it’s far better than any of the alternatives. you are nothing but a whiny, entitled brat, who assumes that everything you desire should just be handed to you on a silver platter, and when you don’t get what you want, you throw a freaking temper tantrum like the petulent child you truly are. you don’t always get what you want, and you certainly do not hold a monopoly on truth nor morality. it’s also crystal clear that have absolutely no idea what the hell you’re talking about. hillary clinton lost the 2016 election. get over it. you are not entitled to the white house, no more than, biden, trump or anyone else is. if you hate america so much, then stop your complaining, pack your bags and passport, and get the hell out! sh says november 3, 2020 at 10:48 am if youre calling him delusional am i’m allowed to call you a moron on how you equate things. first limited immagration. second ridiculous tax rate. third very limited growth for most of the nation. i could go on and on. if we look at us numbers of 20 mill in illegal immagration and say that 60 percent receive government assistance that would leave billions that we could put back in to helping people advance in this country. if those that couldn’t afford to have children didn’t have them, or those that are being blatanly in abusive in how they bilk the government it would add millions more to the coffers. then take away corperate welfare and close some loop holes. both sides have made this mess and what you espouse makes it worse. by the way canda got rid of welfare the way distrinuted a few years back. “all provinces maintain a program of this sort known by names such as “social assistance”, “income support”, “income assistance” and “welfare assistance”; popularly they are known as welfare.the purpose of these programs is to alleviate extreme poverty by providing a monthly payment to people with little or no income. the rules for eligibility and the amount given vary widely between the provincesthey also pay much more in takes and many of their citizens come to the us for better health care (surgeries). these don’t include medical care etc. the extent of public financing varies considerably across services. for example, approximately 99% of physician services, and 90% of hospital care, are paid by publicly funded sources, whereas almost all dental care and most prescription drug cost are paid for privately. most physicians are self employed private entities which enjoy coverage under each province’s respective healthcare plans. they also only pay for a small portion of those that aren’t citizens. (small numbers as well) the right wing stuff is pretty funny though and extactly the main reason i asked about using term moron. right wing extremist aren’t causing the majority. anyone with a brain knows they are bad/dangerous and need to be in check or gotten rid of. no antifa problems hahaha. question it’s ok to loot as long as i call it reperations right? this shows the stupidty and ridiculousness of your entire arguement. i am an idenpendent and no real fan of president or gop but this is exactly the type of stuff that will push me to the right. people such as yourself are the exact reason i won’t sit out of a vote anymore to protest the bad canidates. free speech but only if you agree with your view points. trump caravans harrasing not good but it’s fine going into resteraunts harras and threaten people or maxine waters go out and get in their faces, hypocrisy at it’s best anonymous says november 5, 2020 at 10:27 am no, again you are another (lenin’s phrase, he applied to students and professors) “useful idiots.”, as they are willing tools, not relying on facts. z anonymous says october 13, 2020 at 3:19 am 100% though anonymous says october 13, 2020 at 8:14 am if you are so hard headed that you don’t understand what he just said you are the idiot anonymous says october 14, 2020 at 5:25 pm agreed… patricia says october 20, 2020 at 4:31 pm agree! but see the dems can’t see any truth because their brains have been brainwashed into thinking we are a bad country and they need to stomp out the injustices they have dreamt up. working hard, saving your money and being successful is now a crime in america according to the left. i’ll be dead and gone but wait till they find out this fantasy world of socialism they think will be utopia will bring nothing but a desperate existence for all americans! anonymous says october 22, 2020 at 1:16 pm explain how it would be a desperate existence? jesus christ and apostles literally practiced socialism and the early church is clearly socialist until the roman catholics badgered the gospels. prosperity doctrineis satanic in origin and its unbiblical. it is much harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than it is fora camel to pass through the eye of a needle. chuck u. farley says october 23, 2020 at 3:07 pm “i’ll be dead and gone.” sooner rather than later, let’s hope. anonymous says october 27, 2020 at 9:24 pm god will bring an end to them but as long as we have a man or woman in office to fight the cia the treasury and all the fat cat democrats this beautiful country we call united states of america will be god’s shining light on the hill anonymous says october 21, 2020 at 1:42 pm agreed battdavebatt@gmail.com says december 7, 2020 at 4:57 am god. have. mersey. on. your. soak. you. are. saten. dave anonymous says october 17, 2020 at 3:49 pm agreed. anonymous says october 20, 2020 at 7:37 am you are so correct! he made complete sense and is right! anonymous says october 23, 2020 at 11:44 pm agree julia says october 25, 2020 at 3:57 am yeah. what he said a was quite clear, and accurate. schnertzman says october 14, 2020 at 12:01 pm excuse me, but i believe you are lost mcardle… you no sense of the context of socialism if you think he’s not making any sense. you know what i think? get on a plane and head to a utopia already made for and by socialists.. good luck with that. you probably have been well indoctrinated in today’s colleges… they can’t even help students now achieve what a high school grad could 40 50 years ago. no wonder foreign students are kicking our asses in testing. something tells me you’re failing at life and you need this… that’s just sad. ma says october 17, 2020 at 2:04 pm some people are just lost. save your energy. no matter what evidence comes out there will always be a segment of society that doesn’t have the critical thinking skills to analyze the news they’re told. even worse, you have pure bolshevik style indoctrination going on in our schools. god help us all against where tis country is heading. maybe trump can hold the worse off for a few more years, but i’m afarid it’s to late long term. the country has been sold out by greed and corruption on both sides of the isle. the country will head into a 1 party dictatorship and about a third of the country will happily vote that crap in being to ignorant to understand what they are voting for. anonymous says october 18, 2020 at 1:15 am this type of exaggerated nonsense are the true dangerous forms of ideological calcification that wittingly or unwittingly prop up existing forms of exploitation and oppression,and stifle opportunities for progress, equality, and social change. just because people express their disappointment and unhappiness with a particular policy or the way things are conducted in this country, that does not mean they hate america. the very thought of that is so ridiculous and only fosters a delusional illusion of some so called enemy that isn’t there. this country was built on different ideas. what might be great for you, may not be equally be great for others.civil rights movement is a great example of that. because black people in this country have long been mistreated, though they greatly contributed to this country’s success, they have fought and died in wars for this country, they pay taxes and still where not treated well, so they stood up and refuse to take the bs anymore. this article wants them to shut up and be complacent. anyone who agrees with this article really needs to evolve beyond the darkness they dwell in and find jesus. the true jesus, not the false prophet sadly labeled as the savior of the right. nothing i have said should be translated as someone hating america because i do not. i love this country, i’ll die for this country, but i will not tolerate this hateful rhetoric towards other members of our society simply because you have different political and ideological views. how self centered are you to think that because this country is great for you, everyone else should shut up, or leave. wow. who are you to say that? what have you contributed to this country that gives you the right to tell another us citizen they should leave. why don’t you leave. you don’t see liberals tell conservatives to get out. maybe they understand better than you, that this is a country of many views, many nationalities, but they all want what’s best for this country, though they may disagree on how to achieve that. this country was started by dissent. that’s why the founding fathers wrote a constitution allowing freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly in protest. because this country isn’t just your country. its our country and we all have the right to say what we do and do not like without persecution. you people want to persecute people for having a different opinion than yours. that’s more communist than anything! also what is the problem with evolving. what is the problem with progress. what is the problem with others who do not look like you wanting to be treated fairly. these things benefit all of us! progress is what made this country so wonderful, when other countries controlled by authoritarian regimes are left behind. telling someone they should leave the country if they don’t like it the way it is short sighted and narrow minded. this country has gone through a myriad of changes that have made it great and will go through a myriad more in its strive for perfection. what you want is for it to go backwards, or just stay the same. that’s fear. fear of change. that is weak. change can be a wonderful thing if you open your mind to it. as human beings, you should always strive to evolve, to be even better than you where yesterday. why you are so arrogant that you think you don’t need to learn and become better. you falsely think the country doesn’t need to evolve simply because you believe it to be the best in the world. you just cut off your own lifeline and will slowly die because of it as other countries leave us in the dust. liberal and conservatives both love this country. there are those on both sides that want to cause destruction, but they are the minority in each party, not a majority. they are also called extremists. those that are so far far left and far far right they are literally insane with their irrationality. liberals and conservatives are both christians who follow the teachings of jesus christ. both parties also have other religious beliefs, and some don’t. that doesn’t make them bad or evil people. if you are a christian who actually reads the entire bible, you would not have such hate in your heart for others. this country may have christian roots, but it is not a christian only society. again, the founding fathers made sure of that with separation of church and state. forcing your beliefs on others is not truly christian and it isn’t american. god has no political affiliation. don’t be so trivial and simple minded. jesus tells us not to hate our brother. jesus tells us that not one of us has the right to cast a stone when we should focus on the spec of dust in our own eye. jesus favored the downtrodden, the poor, the disenfranchised,, the ones who are belittled by the oppressive ones in power who persecuted those who where different, or didn’t obey. when you follow anyone who furthers such hate filled messages like this article, you are more in line with the path of the deceiver, not a believer. anonymous says october 19, 2020 at 8:13 pm look how much space you receive for your answer comparing to others. the media’s are bias and favoured people who have leftist views this is why we are bombarded by minorities rights of all types you call that justice ? i call that chaos, division and asking to be looked after by the state. you pretend that there is an utopian country somewhere on the planet, there is none. the argument of injustice from the past is dishonest at best, because you are using the past to justify violence, looting, etc.. this is not what i call an honest argument. keith says october 20, 2020 at 8:40 pm well said.. anonymous says october 25, 2020 at 11:16 am spot on. thank you gayle says october 26, 2020 at 6:56 am well said. many thanks. god bless usa and the world. b says october 21, 2020 at 5:24 am who ever you are, you are incredibly indoctrinated through religion and infused with democratic communism or marxism, what ever it is called, it’s all disgusting, sick and thoroughly demented. real, authentic americans known for their talents and independence, who self governs themselves are right and stand correct with god. you, on the other hand should not take things so personally and don’t be so quick to judge others. you should get a different bible, i think the one you have is lying to you. chuck u. farley says october 23, 2020 at 3:09 pm god? you mean that fairy tale? god was a violent misogynist jerk. i have no use for him. jesus was cool though. although i think he would want nothing to do with white christian americans and all the horrors they commit in his name. anonymous says october 26, 2020 at 9:16 pm well said!!! dank says october 27, 2020 at 5:51 pm perhaps you should figure out “what it is called” before posting. none of what is written above defines communism or marxism. anonymous says october 21, 2020 at 1:07 pm so incredibly well said. i completely agree. anonymous says october 23, 2020 at 12:37 am sorry…i wasn’t paying attention. please repeat yourself anonymous says october 24, 2020 at 9:36 am vote for trump anonymous says october 24, 2020 at 6:45 pm you must be tired after that run on sentence rant of yours. i think the pharmaceutical company makes pills that will help you with your issues!!! you might want to get on that before november 3rd so when you have your liberal breakdown you’ll be good to go!!! dank says october 27, 2020 at 5:54 pm your last sentence is a run on sentence by the way. otherwise you would have to place a comma between the words 3rd (sic) and so. anonymous says october 25, 2020 at 1:45 am i take your response as a long ridiculous rant. schnertzman was just illustrating a point that “the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence” not literally saying that james mcardle should leave the country if he was not happy or that he was not welcome. really? brion bell says october 26, 2020 at 8:12 am just another splendid grouping of words to try to convince y9ourself and others that the liberal democrat, (think, ‘aoc’), is tilted toward every single thing outlined in the article! listen to the core values that are being expressed. chief among them is the idea that the conservative republican has no right to speak his/her mind! we see that behavior on every news outlet! you have eloquent command of the written word, but you are woefully ignorant on the actual truth of things. yes, this country was built on the exchange of ideas. but none of them included socialist ideals until now. socialism, in its very best state, does not solve the problems of a nation, and especially a nation that is as large and populated as we are. it leads to oppressive government at best, and succinct tyranny at worst. this has been proven time and time again. then, there’s communism. so, tell us, you’re really not aware of the communist tilt in the democrat narrative? i’m sure that you are aware of the ccp (chinese communist party)? they are incredibly influential here in the u.s.. they guide educational institution, (and directives), they own much of the infrastructure, and are present in representative government positions. like ‘the squad,’ they truly hate america and our values, and they have as much said so in front of national television cameras. the elected liberal democrat is interested in ruling. (let that sink in…) they want to usurp the common citizen’s decisional power and change the rules so that people have zero ways to change their government except outright, physical war. (of course, they will discard that ‘provision’ of the preamble as one of their first acts once they have taken over congress, the house, and the senate. in their second act, they will make foundational changes to the constitution that outline our rights, especially the 1st and 2nd amendments!) if you don’t see this, then you really are another tainted mind that has been reached and fundamentally changed by the endless and powerful, media driven propaganda. on the face, trump is no worse a human being than any of our government officials. he is only human. the difference is that he refuses to play ball on the tilted court on which the washington politicians play. he doesn’t need anything, and cannot be swayed by the influence of leftist political ideologies, or their fantastic money. he is an outsider who loves his country. think differently, do you? as yourself, how does trump actually benefit from being potus? he’s given up his idyllic lifestyle, sleeps maybe 4 5 hours in every 24, and has pretty much relinquished control of his ’empire’ to actually serve instead of rule. yet, the gutless and lying media keep their vigil. the gutless and disrespectful congress keeps their behaviors during supreme court justice appointments, (cavanaugh debacle   really? these are the people you respect and trust to fairly and respectfully serve our nation?!? wow, just wow!) sorry to say it, but you, like so many have been successfully ‘washed’ into thinking the democrats have our backs. they have shown decicively that they support the removal of history, the tearing down of government property, the burning and destruction of personal and public property, and the wholesale destruction of the u.s. economy. this is based in fact!!! so, when biden and company get in, and suddenly you can’t afford anything that you have now, and the best prospect for all of us is to live in some modular, government housing, with no vehicles, ‘telescreens’ in every room, and chip infused vaccines, you could try to tell others your opinion, but forums like these will ‘magically disappear.’ i hear costa rica is nice… liarreg or says october 26, 2020 at 1:29 pm stop exploiting black people and your critical race theory , all relationships are master slave, oppressor oppressed is judaio marxist psychopathic [=human intra species predator/parasite obsessed with compulsion to dominate/control target/prey, individual, group/ host population. it is being exposed now and hopefully your violent antifa/ psychopath billionaires backed predatory frankfurt school birthed, psychopathic psy op on american youth will be ended and at last we will learn to see the psychopath entities among us. academia is being murdered by para scholarship because psychopaths weaponize everything. the exploitation of black folk by the descendants of the masters of the trans atlantic black african slave trade and then the china opium/heroin trade that is now afghanistan not china, is something that needs to see the light of day. also, the falsification of history needs to be addressed. america as a whole is the oppressed by anonymous or hiddenhand racial supremacy seeking destruction of america and it’s subordination to globalism in which communist china is the shining model. that is why the hidden hand pressured the removal of most of the us factories to communist china  it was ongoing ’till covid 19 & trump and will resume if he loses the upcoming election]. that is oppression by psychopathy by hidden hand, and it is the same entity hat deployed the critical race theory weapon to divide americans the easier to build the multicultural society, de industrialized , and to be transformed into a panopticon prison state . naturally, the anon entities will deem my observations as somewhere on their “”attack scale” of stupid crazy  evil. . plus a few additional usual denigrations/projections. we are in a time when frank honest speech is possible and necessary. pat devlin says october 27, 2020 at 5:05 pm you need paragraphs, desperately. megan says october 28, 2020 at 5:52 am absolutely amazing.. absolutely correct..it’s refreshing to read something so honest and thoughtful.. it saddens me greatly to be in a country fueled by hate and such division… we are one nation..the constitution is not a document for the government to restrain the people  it’s an instrument to restrain the government. anonymous says october 24, 2020 at 2:06 pm social media just shut down your right to fair and impartial news. left or right just because they are muting your opposition is no reason to go along with the the suppression of information, it is setting a precedent, in the future don’t be surprised when it comes for you. think for your self do the research and come to your own conclusion, it’s your right and obligation no matter what side you are on. to often it is a left against right, forgetting about the “people” who will ultimately be paying the price for bad policy and disinformation. mike says october 26, 2020 at 4:57 pm tell me this…how much money do you think you’re “succeeding”. based on the fact you’re here posting on a random message board makes me think you’re not as well off as you claim anonymous says october 14, 2020 at 9:49 pm what??? do you understand what he is saying? if you disagree, fine. articulate your argument. i think a lot of what he is saying actually makes sense. rod woodley says october 15, 2020 at 8:10 am please read james’ comment as it nails 100% of the democrat’s problems! “wow dude” is an opening that identifies the out in space somewhere attitude of the sender. “you might actually be an idiot” shows that he is not sure of “dude” being an idiot but he must be because he makes sense and i don’t like that. ” you just threw a whole bunch of words against the wall but none of them make any sense” proves that the words make perfect sense so something must be wrong with them. the final statement is the best of all. “please stop” (lol). sounds just like nancy pelosi talking to wolfe blitzer. napoleon gauthier says october 15, 2020 at 4:54 pm you are a jacobite fool with no historical perspective. democrats are the new national socialists with a sieg heil or die attitude. thought police, hate crimes, and your rigid radicalism that eschews debate, humility, and respect for those who disagree. best defense for the lazy is always taken from the demagogues playbook. tell lies, falsely accuse others, gossip and eschew the truth. a similar polemic has always killed democracy. the democratic party is a a party of the fearful, the passive aggressive and the backstabbers of life. fucks like the you are the inbred morons, with the intensity and arrogance of little lord fauntleroy ……and the balls of neville chamberlain. carey says october 16, 2020 at 2:03 am check your facts,foolish lamb, if bidens keepers win you will soon see how marxism in power truelly treats the general public, no longer private, a serf society. then hell will break out and perhaps peeps can see the regret of believing social and other media, must look at all sides kim says october 17, 2020 at 9:49 pm every word he said is true. you are obviously a liberal. lol kim says october 17, 2020 at 9:52 pm the article is spot on. liberal tears. anonymous says october 18, 2020 at 4:01 pm the reason why people hate trump and those who called they self american when they are descendants from somebody else the only americans are the indians the reason why people hate trump and his clansmen is the fact that trump is a sleeper or terrorist a trader at a murderer a pedophile a kidnapper anna feet that’s why people hate america and no one can trust him nor those who follow him this is why i’m erica has been to hell in a handbasket me says october 22, 2020 at 12:18 pm what?? anonymous says october 25, 2020 at 9:27 am what are the three democrats is just as stupid as the other two mike says october 26, 2020 at 4:58 pm i hate trump because he’s killed 222,000 and counting with his negligence. and you people claim to be pro life. mn888 says october 28, 2020 at 4:49 pm i think you should call your therapist lee says october 18, 2020 at 6:02 pm what are you talking about. every word he said is tge truth and for you to speak such nonsense is a freaking joke. so sorry that you have been duped into believing what the democrats are telling you. why don’t you get your mind right (dude) and start supporting this country instead of wanting to burn it down. better yet if you hate it here so bad why don’t you leave. ill buy your ticket to venezuela. thats what america will look like if this country elect creepy joe with that crazy rich radical harris. im surprised you enjoy allowing the rich to get their money from our people. you dont get it, the left want you gone. sadly if those two have any say in running this country we are doomed. anonymous says october 19, 2020 at 9:30 pm looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool anonymous says october 21, 2020 at 1:21 pm utter delusion. you’re off you’re rocker if you think donald trump tells the truth. he wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him in the a$$ and paid for the privilege. allowing the rich to get money from our people? are you obtuse? sure, dt doesn’t get a salary but he funnels plenty of taxpayer money into his pocket. how? every golf outing, hotel stay, event is at one of his businesses. instead of choosing to golf at the green near the white house, he and his entourage take a plane to one of his hotels, staying there, hosting events there, eating there, all at your expense. he’s golfed the same amount of times in 4 years that obama did in 8 years. obama also golfed near the white house and stayed on a military base. trump gives kickbacks to business who host their events at one of his businesses. if you think those kickbacks don’t affect you, you’re sadly mistaken. get your head out of the sand. hope says october 24, 2020 at 10:07 am while the whitehouse was getting needed renovations the president couldn’t stay there, so he went to his resort. also many trump supporters voted for him because of the career politicians & the destruction they caused while damn near ruining this country! b4 the pandemic america’s economy was the best it’s been ever & a lot of the younger generation have never actually seen or were too young to remember the thriving america where each generation did a little better than the last. usa isn’t perfect no country is, but despite what teachers/professors tell u anyone can make it here with hard work & determination! they want to divide us & make people think the white man is to blame for everything when it was the white man that pushed to end slavery & many gave their lives. they never tell you blacks sold their own & some even had their own slaves & actually it was the middle eastern places that continued slavery & terrible things like wanting castrated men for servants, and it was the western places that would punish them & if anything they were the most immoral due to slavery. it is just plain wrong to say it’s white peoples fault for slavery when it went on everywhere in the world & to this day continues in parts of africa (look it up) interviews with kids saying how horrible it was so why no outrage when it’s going on now? again trump isn’t perfect but he’s way better than biden since biden is in fact either racist or race insensitive & yet he out of all people lectures america for its “systematic racism” he’s more of a con artist! anonymous says october 25, 2020 at 8:04 am are you suggesting that because trump is successful that means he is evil? it is not an evil thing to work hard and live well because of it…that is actually pretty much the american dream. he is generous, even in holding the presidency. he did not need the money or power, but loves this country, and that’s why he sought the presidency. he is not at all what the liberal media portrays. they are spewing hatred and lies about him, and it’s because he calls out corruption in the left as he sees it. make no mistake. that is why the democrats and liberal media hate him, and as americans we should be able to see that he is america’s only hope to avoid the democrat’s determination to make this country weaker, a socialist nation. democrats are not true americans. maryann says october 27, 2020 at 10:05 am did you know that billy graham was a democrat? anonymous says may 20, 2022 at 6:54 am let’s remind the libtards he donated all 4 years of his check in office. he didn’t take a dime….. the list is so long off the accomplishments that the orrupted fake news would never celebrate nor acknowledge its not hard at all to do a simple research for facts your damn self. and the left are so blind to what’s happening from trump era to disastrous biden era…… era…… are easily fooled…. the democrats hold about this one once…. hillary did at least. stupidity at its finest kathy cobb says october 23, 2020 at 9:50 pm just because the man wrote to the editor and seems to honestly believe what he is saying does not make it true. none of you fact check donald trump, and trust me, if god wanted you to follow someone to salvation, it would not be this man. all democrats want is for the deck not to be so stacked toward the average american and for our taxes to go toward programs that help individuals instead of bailing out wall street, various corporations, and applying tax cuts for the rich. republicans scream socialism but certainly do not mind it when it benefits them, and they are the biggest recipients of government hand outs, trump included. all republicans want is to protect their own wealth with no regard for anyone else. they think that if they wrap it in a neat, tidy bow, mention god, and the bible that they are fooling people. no one is fooled, anonymous says october 19, 2020 at 8:51 am you are clearly a product of the american public school system if the words above make no sense to you. please buy yourself a clue with your government check. b says october 21, 2020 at 5:51 am and you are a democrat. carrie says october 21, 2020 at 1:24 pm amen to that. don’t worry, if the infamously intelligent kardi b has her way and has her endorsed candidate elected by her derelict and classless minions, we will all be paying for free college for the masses. now, who’s stepping up to pay back my loans for my graduate degree that i chose to pursue? hmm.. mike says october 26, 2020 at 5:00 pm why not…we’re already giving idiot small business owners bailouts because of their failures. nevermind the high school dropouts in the military. but let me guess…somehow that’s ok with you. anonymous says october 19, 2020 at 8:07 pm what does make sense? asking for clarification ellen martin says october 19, 2020 at 9:07 pm you are a jerk who is not very smart! anonymous says october 22, 2020 at 1:04 pm i’m really starting to hate these dumb conservatives who think being critical of trump or evil gop policies is un american. they really mean it’s a threat to their white identity and white mans control over government. it’s not un american to call trump the moron he is and its not un american vote for biden. these idiots truly believe he’s socialist because all conservatives can do is call people communist and socialist and fear monger to rile up an uneducated, white base. hope says october 24, 2020 at 10:20 am you think your so smart go find out the real story of slavery thru out the world & how it’s even practiced now! go find out how hitler took up practices from democrats & how teaching race relations helped him to get germans to trust him, those are the same things that are going on now in america! elite democrats like barack embracing castro & how biden made millions from public service from “book deals” if u believe that. trumps net worth has went down since taking office & that is polar opposite from hillary, obama & biden they all got filthy rich for their public service look it up of course they all made that from book deals & speaking deals. jules says october 25, 2020 at 1:40 am reading this, or trying to read what you just wrote shows, just how incredibly far our educational system has fallen. for you,, who is unable to form a proper sentence, to speak on anyone’s uneducated is rich, indeed! the indoctrination by msm, hollywood, music industry, while the democrats use every tactic to push this into the minds of the weak, is illuminated by a bright light, and once seen you can not unsee…it’s etched into the mind of those still equipped with discernment and wisdom. the simpletons, however remain lost, dazed and confused. something has to change, ppl wont survive on their own with such low iq’s and warped sense of reality. its sad, so sad., but i’m frustrated and fed up living amongst the ignorance. can they ever catch up or will the left always lag behind? jhs says october 22, 2020 at 5:02 pm he’s not an idiot look at any socialist country and follow its demise. a few will take over as dictators controlling the nation . no more “we the people” anonymous says october 23, 2020 at 12:41 am and you just said…don’t talk anymore. your opinion doesn’t matter. my ears are shut to any ideas outside of my little realm. who’s the idiot? anonymous says october 23, 2020 at 2:10 pm aw lil guy old guy with experiences you'll never gets says october 23, 2020 at 11:11 pm anyone who uses the word dude in a response doesn’t deserve to be an american , l didn’t see any reason to attack the author for stating a correct assessment of what’s happening in this great country and driven by rich people who know that fellows like yourself are eager to follow their lead, but be careful, because they will reap the rewards not you or the other dudes and dudets that follow their good for us but screw you spewings. sorry you can’t thing things thru for yourselves before it’s too late. fredi says october 24, 2020 at 11:32 am you are the type of person gerald comments are directed. you call him an idiot for having a differing point of view than yourself. rather than accepting his point opposes yours. you resort to calling him an idiot. why don’t you write something intelligent as to why you disagree with gerald’s position. anonymous says october 25, 2020 at 7:52 am it makes perfect sense to those who are thinking for themselves, and not allowing the media to brainwash them. alberto burns says october 25, 2020 at 10:12 am if the united states of america falls under the democrats this time, then the whole world will also fall. mr. trump, knowing that the only way for the democrats to win is through a massive electoral fraud, please mr. trump, do not concede. if civil war is what comes next, then let it be. we will be victorious over and over again. the united states of america cannot and will not fall under the ideology of the communist socialist. dank says october 27, 2020 at 6:00 pm civil war? really? preston parker says october 26, 2020 at 8:30 pm socialism only works until you run out of other peoples money. every country that has tried socialism has ended in a tremendous failure for the people that it was supposed to benefit. socialism has a fatal flaw the government thinks he can make decisions for people better than they can for themselves. socialism has failed in every country where it has been tried. russia cuba venezuela are socialist countries but i haven’t seen people trying to break the wall down to get into those countries, because socialism sucks. bimbo politicians like nancy pelosi aoc bernie sanders joe biden all the democrats believe in socialism, but socialism does not work never has never will. plato was a socialist he lived 400 years before christ and aristotle was a capitalist. to make a long story short capitalism overcame socialism and in the end the people asked plato to do the honorable thing, to take a drug and kill himself, because it would be the honorable thing to do, because socialism had not worked out for the people and it caused a big problem in athens. i have worked with people from socialist countries like russia. my boss asked me after they’ve been working for about a month are we going to be able to hire any of these people i had to tell him hell no these people are socialist they have spent their whole life learning to work slow, because the hardest worker and the slowest worker gets paid the same in russia and they have a saying , we pretend to work and the government pretends to pay us, this is why socialism does not work. if you took all the people out of russia and you put americans in there place, russia would instantly become a world power, because were capitalists and we know how to work. can a socialist society build an iphone. i think not nobody would ever get the money from stock to build an iphone. socialist want to outlaw stock they think that stock is bad for a society, but the truth is socialism is bad for society. can socialism build a tesla car the answer is no, because of social justice they would never allow stock, because it might be unfair to the lazy and useless people.   [ ] russia a socialist country has a problem as all socialist countries have.   [ ] in order to have a strong economic country you need to have productivity, you need to have innovation, you need to have private property, so people put money back into there homes, you need to be able to save money and buy things to create commerce. russia can never achieve any of these goals, socialism does not work never has never well.   [ ] have you ever worked on a russian car like the doninvest. i had a girl friend so poor she bought this car it was poorly engineered by russians and broke down frequently. this is what you get from a communist country. remember in russia the hardest worker and the slowest workers get paid the same. human nature will drag down the innovation, productivity of workers is poor, russians we have a saying in russia we pretend to work and the government pertains to pay us.   [ ] in america hard work is rewarded and lazy work in not rewarded. this is why communism does not work, never has never will. preston parker says october 26, 2020 at 9:25 pm james stop watching the clown new network they are lying to you pee brain, moron robert mueller and 27 lawyers deleted there phone data. they claim it was an accident, but 27 accidents that not a mistake that a bold face lie, the data is stored on nsa data servers in utah. trump needs to completely declassify the mueller case so the america people can judge for themselves. here is a list of people that broke the law and need to be disbarred from the fbi, i would like to see jail time for obstruction of justice. robert mueller, ahmad, andres, atkinson, deerben, goldstein, jed, meisler, prelogar, quarles iii, rhee, van grack, weissmann, zebley, zelinsky, lisa page, peter strzok, and unnamed lawyers that wiped there phones clean. the irony of phone gate is mueller lawbreakers claim that trump had obstructed justice. the obama administration fbi agent christopher wray, hid the muellers phone gate erase from investigators for two years. the mueller team fbi agent lawyers, broke the law by erasing they phones and they need to be put in jail for obstruction of justice. christopher wray for his part in phone gate cover up needs two in years in jail for his part in the mueller phone gate cover up, by the fbi agents on the mueller team. please fire christopher wray he is blocking the investigation john durham. anonymous says october 27, 2020 at 10:31 am think you bigger idiot !! yep !! star.g says october 8, 2020 at 8:10 am wat the frick people are destroying the country let get a move on people!!! shannon hale says october 13, 2020 at 3:21 am 100% though nancy says october 3, 2020 at 6:29 pm let’s just do our best to keep socialists out of government. we don’t need big brother we know how to make money and how to spend it too. in russia blm would be shot. these are trouble makers. antifa would be shot also. these groups are lucky they live here. these brainless movie people need to shut up. harris needs to stop bailing out felons. reparations!? are people crazy? poor biden is being used, harris and bernie can’t wait to get their teeth in him. this country has turned into a bad place. this is thanks to the dems and their people. it’s going to take a lot to clean it up. trump has been trying he sees the mess it’s become. the disgusting democrats. let’s just vote for trump and try to catch all the cheating dems. maureen says october 6, 2020 at 3:58 am i strongly agree with you it all started after hilary clinton lost. the democratic party started plotting and planning deep hatred and revenge on how to demoralize the president at any cost i never knew what they were capable of until they created almost all the media channels to become weapons to put hits on the president it is the media that has divided this country not donald trump. they have actually placed a target on the president’s back that creates unsafe groups of people to harm him if they could. they have created so much hate between the american people that families are falling apart meanwhile teaching children and young people to hate and disrespect their own president no matter if it is this president or the next you cannot teach your children to hate their country or their president .how can you explain hatred to a child. i want our traditional news back and not these talk shows that call themselves the news i call them the world of haters! kathy says october 8, 2020 at 12:05 pm first off, politicians need to have consequences for their crimes. hillary is a crook. she made up the whole russia hoax because she was jealous she was beat. i don’t think anyone liked her anyway. especially after her husband was so disgracing in the presidency. durham, or bill barr needs to start prosecuting people. they wasted two years on russia crap for nothing. how much money? billions? we do have starving people in this country. right? adam schiff is scum, nadler is scum, pelosi is immature and ridiculous. at the beginning of the covid, she was showing all of us her stupid ice cream in one of her 5 freezers where she lives on a hill in sf, away from all the homeless, mental ill and hypodermic needle all about the homeless camps. it is pitiful. and if anyone doesn’t like trumps attitude, look what he has been through? he has non stop been harassed during his whole presidency. can you believe they impeached him? i would have a pretty bad attitude if i had to go through all that.. im surprised he hasn’t had a heart attack from stress. couldn’t they find something constructive to do like answer to all of their conniving schemes and lies, dishonesty. congress hasn’t done anything for us. nancy thought it was cool to go get her hair done while all the salons in sf were forced closed. (with no mask as well). as well as chicago mayor, cuomo on cnn had corona virus and supposed to be on lock down and then he was found outdoors at his house he was building. no one says crap about him. and he is so hypocritical and talks crap about everyone else. im a nurse and his brother is responsible for all of the nursing home deaths. you don’t send people with a deadly illness to a nursing home with the elderly who are all immunocomprised already. and he won’t he take responsibility. and all these riots who are un happy with our country and the law system. they have destroyed nice cities and still complain. if they are so miserable, get the hell out. i haven’t heard of any that left yet. and blm is a joke. they preach of being treated unjust by law enforcement and riot if someone who deserved it gets shot. yet, they could care less about all the children shot in chicago and atlanta and anywhere else. i haven’t see sharpton mention one word about the poor children getting killed in drive byes or anything about the black on black crime. he and his cohorts just show up to cause chaos and to make big bucks. this isn’t how martin luther kings imagined our society. a lot of black americans play the victim and they still blame us from 200 years ago over slavery. we have black american day, black entertainment television, everything black they can think of. they are discriminating whites and other nationalities. i think they just want to plain out right take over the country and run the rest of it into the ground. and antifa, why do we put up with this crap? democrats are doing it all on purpose so they can elect the demented loser joe biden? why? he is a freaking idiot!! just ask popcorn!! i want our new back too and not all these dishonest, no ethic media mobs running the country. this is the worst i have seen this country in my over 50 years. cnn needs to be obliterated and taken off the air as well as abc, msnbc, and the rest of the wicked, evil media. they have no respect for anyone and say the most inappropriate things and lies. why can’t we crack down, prosecute all the criminals in fbi, cia, white house and make them face the consequences? i hate this place right now. not because i am inherently unhappy with the us, but all this craziness going on and they get away with it. and i am a rn taking care of covid patients daily and nobody really cares, they just want to tear our country apart. jennifer says october 10, 2020 at 6:22 am from one rn to another, you are so spot on!! i pray we get through this crap🙏🏽 thank you for your well articulated input! shannon says october 13, 2020 at 2:09 am you can’t fix stupid! and you are not correct. i am sorry. maybe you need to do some more research or something because this is not what is going on right now. it’s not about any of that. let me guess you solely trust fox and don’t watch any other station is that correct? i never realized until the last year how bad republicans are i was raised in a republican family and of course we voted for reagan nothing in this administration is like reagan so therefore no i’m not a republican in this election. ohio is a swing state . we pick whoever we choose to think will do the better job not whether it’s democrat or republican constantly but right now we are a hundred and fifty percent democratic!! i guess we’ll wait and see… schnertzman says october 14, 2020 at 12:10 pm to shannon. you say you never saw how bad republicans were? please do tell… point out some actual damage republicans ha e done to this country…. you must be bliss in your ignorance. only one party is trying to remove your rights as written constitutionally. only one party is destroying the country in the streets and you are blind if you can’t see it… anonymous says october 15, 2020 at 10:03 pm well said! i’m an rn too! you just said everything i want to say everyday about this corrupt democratic run news!! mike says october 10, 2020 at 7:45 pm nurses are awesome. they are needed, wanted, and serve a great purchase. thank you trump will win the election and justice will prevail. the president is not going forget what happened. he will set things straight. shannon says october 13, 2020 at 3:10 am you can’t fix stupid! and you are not correct. i am sorry. maybe you need to do some more research or something because this is not what is going on right now. it’s not about any of that. let me guess you solely trust fox and don’t watch any other station is that correct? i never realized until the last year how bad republicans are i was raised in a republican family and of course we voted for reagan nothing in this administration is like reagan so therefore no i’m not a republican in this election. ohio is a swing state . we pick whoever we choose to think will do the better job not whether it’s democrat or republican constantly but right now we are a hundred and fifty percent democratic!! i guess we’ll wait and see… you can only speak for yourself about what you said sorry… john hertager says october 21, 2020 at 2:50 pm i hope so. anonymous says october 12, 2020 at 10:57 pm don’t give up. you are not alone. we do have a great fight ahead of us. will good people prevail. only time will tell if it is too late to save america from the cancer that seems to be out of control. preston parker says october 26, 2020 at 8:38 pm description political coorruption or malpolitics is the use of powers by government officials or their network contacts for illegitimate private gain. forms of corruption vary, but can include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, parochialism, patronage, influence peddling, graft, and embezzlement. joe biden corruption 1: joe had vitktor shokin fired because, “ biden said fire vitkor or no aid in the form of two billion dollars in aid. ukraine say the official, viktor shokin, was ousted because he was investigating corruption hunter biden served on the board of burisma holdings, a major ukrainian natural gas producer, from 2014 to 2019. serious challenge: a series of criminal investigations launched by vitkor shokin against its owner, mykola zlochevsky, a multimillionaire former minister of ecology and natural resources. the allegations concern tax violations, money laundering and licences given to burisma during the period where zlochevsky was a minister. 2: hunter biden did not speak russian. hunter biden had no gas transmission experience. hunter biden did not have storage field experience. hunter biden had a drug and marijuana substance abuse problem. how did he pass a drug test that all gas companies give employees before they start to work? hunter biden received $100,000 a month while he worked at burisma yet lived in los angeles, in a $8,000 a month apartment, and all he did was walk to the mail box and got a check from burisma gas company. investigators in ukraine think that some of the money was laundered to hunter biden in fake bank accounts and so called loans to hunter biden. 3: china corruption hunter biden robert hunter biden, vice president joe biden son. he is a founding partner of rosemont seneca partners, an investment and advisory firm, in china. hunter biden’s efforts to make money in china while his father oversaw u.s. china policy have caused concern since the author peter schweizer highlighted the issue earlier this year in his new book “profiles in corruption.” (schweizer first exposed the biden connection to the avic henniges, hunter biden’s connection with the peoples republic of china military. hunter biden‘s job is to find trade secrets buy companies and give the secrets to the chinese military. hunter biden’s bhr fund also made an investment in 2014 in the china general nuclear power corp., china’s largest nuclear power company. in 2016, the company was charged along with a nuclear engineer named szuhsiung “allen” ho for conspiring to help china illegally obtain “sensitive and controlled” nuclear technology from within the united states. ho, a naturalized american citizen, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years in prison. “the jet fighter and the aircraft carriers that china deploys to threaten the south china seas can be traced back to financial transactions involving hunter biden’s companies,” bhr partners (bohai harvest rst (shanghai) equity investment fund management co., ltd.) is a private investment fund founded in 2013 by chinese and american partners to make investments . network contacts for illegitimate private gain. forms of corruption vary, but can include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, parochialism, patronage, influence peddling, graft, and embezzlement. these are examples of corruption by joe biden. james biden. james b. biden joins hill international subsidiary as executive vice president. james was not an engineer he was not a construction man he had no knowledge of the construction business that he was a vice president in a company the only thing he had was his brother joe biden could get the company money and contracts by the government in the billions of dollars and this is way james biden worked at hill construction company. james biden joined a construction firm as an executive, the firm received a contract worth more than a billion dollars to build houses in iraq while joe oversaw the u.s. led occupation of that country. along the way, james partnered with his nephew hunter, the younger of joe’s two sons. a graduate of georgetown university and yale law school, hunter, 49, has struggled with substance abuse while hopscotching between endeavors in law, business and politics. frank biden was in charge of installing solar panels in puerto rico and in the virgin islands. frank biden had no knowledge of electricity he was not an engineer and went asked did he understand ohms law he said i think it’s a speeding zone in puerto rico ohms law is what you use to read current voltage and amperage. frank biden had no knowledge of electricity or construction of power substations at all yet he was the one in charge of putting up these solar panels in puerto rico the only thing he had was his brother was vice president and could pay for the job that frank was doing. i think this is called cronyism. n late march 2009, vice president joe biden landed in costa rica aboard air force two, and went to the costa rican presidential palace for a one on one with president oscar arias. the biden visit had symbolic significance. the last time a high ranking american official had visited the country was back in 1997, when bill clinton had come. joe biden’s trip to costa rica came at a fortuitous time for his brother frank, who was busy working deals in the country. just months after vice president biden’s visit, in august, costa rica news announced a new multilateral partnership “to reform real estate in latin america” among frank biden, a developer named craig williamson, and the guanacaste country club, a newly planned resort. the partnership, which appears to be ongoing, was wrapped in a beautiful package as a “call on resources available to the companies and individuals to reform the social, economic and environmental practices of real estate developers across the world by example.” in real terms, frank’s dream was to build in the jungles of costa rica thousands of homes, a world class golf course, casinos, and an anti aging center. the costa rican government was eager to cooperate with the vice president’s brother. as it happened, joe biden had been asked by president obama to act as the administration’s point man in latin america and the caribbean. frank’s vision for a country club in costa rica received support from the highest levels of the costa rican government   despite his lack of experience in building such developments. he met with the costa rican ministers of education and energy and environment, as well as the president of the country. on oct. 4, 2016, the costa rican ministry of public education signed a letter of intent with frank’s company, sun fund americas. the project involved allowing a company called gosolar to operate solar power facilities in costa rica. the previous year, the obama biden administration’s opic had authorized a $6.5 million taxpayer backed loan for the project. in june 2014, vice president biden announced the launch of the caribbean energy security initiative (cesi). the program called for increasing access to financing for caribbean energy projects that he strongly supported. american taxpayer dollars were dedicated to facilitating deals that matched us government financing with local energy projects in caribbean countries, including jamaica. in january 2015, usaid announced that it would be spending $10 million to boost renewable energy projects in jamaica over the next five years. after joe biden brought together leaders for cesi, brother frank’s firm sun fund americas announced that it was “engaged in projects and is in negotiations with governments of other countries in the [caribbean] region for both its solar and waste to energy development services.” as if to push the idea along, the obama administration’s opic provided a $47.5 million loan to support the construction of a 20 megawatt solar facility in clarendon, jamaica. frank biden’s sun fund americas later announced that it had signed a contract. joe biden says he never took money from china, but his business partner anthony bobulinski, says hunter biden, called his dad joe biden, the chairman or the big man as incognito names so they didn’t email joe biden‘s name they called him the chairman or the big man. china gave millions to hunter biden but the who family was in on the take. the biden business was for joe to go easy on china and let american jobs go to china and trade secrets. in turn the biden’s got millions for access to joe biden in the obama administration. this is why obama didn’t want joe to run because he knew about joe biden’s corruption. debbi says october 14, 2020 at 8:27 pm u r 100% correct michael gibson says october 18, 2020 at 11:02 am every person wanting to play soldier can run around with a gun and act like a badass shooting cans and trees,if they ever see real war,real guts and blood,real family dead,they will wish to god they hadn’t started any kind of war. blm wants a separate country for black people,they already have one,africa. to make a black country in the u.s. would mean doing the same thing the south did in 1860,secede from the nation…aint gonna happen so all people who don’t like it here should run buy a plane ticket now,go on,git!!! suesue2020 says january 7, 2021 at 8:24 pm ghana is actively seeking black americans to come to their country and will give them free land. anonymous says october 19, 2020 at 7:57 pm https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/report_volume5.pdf just read this bipartisan report. this shit is ridiculous. how can you possibly not see who is legitimately abusing their power and kleptocratically robbing our beautiful nation. guess what? putin wants us to crumble, trump wants autocratic immunity and for our nation’s wealth to continually be exploited and be shifted to the extreme(ly rich) opportunistic assholes, it just so happens that putin knows that these two goals go hand and hand. of course if you learned the history of right wing media and the development of fox(and eventually oan, etc)(i hope you know about roger ailes and their plan after nixon got called the fuck out) you would recognize that trump would be beyond impeached(and probably in jail) if they hadn’t figured out how to subvert the fairness doctrine and weaponize mass media (as a tool for right wing abuse). their bullshit even bleeds real media that tries to be a balancing force against the abuse of our democracy. tldr: check your fucking shit, if the “mainstream” media did half the fucking job they are morally obligated to do(you know as a check on the abuse of power as our founding fathers intended) you would probably(if you haven’t already) went full nazi against them lügenpresse style. ✌️ anonymous says october 24, 2020 at 7:07 pm you forgot to say to destroy fox news as well. or they can stay because they tell you what you want to hear? if i were republican, i’d be upset at the party for constantly trying to scare its voters. whatever happened to trump “not wanting to cause a panic?” or it’s okay to cause a panic because it benefits him? this president has divided this country like no other probably since the civil war. he’s not a politician. he’s a crooked business man. no more, no less. preston parker says october 26, 2020 at 8:56 pm anthony bobulinski has three cell phones that verify that the big guy or the chairman were code names for joe biden. chinese businessman hunter biden bag man for the family. joe ( the big guy) gets 20% jim biden gets 20% hunter biden gets  x% can joe biden be fair when it comes to china not ripping us off.? answer hell no. will biden take away our gun leaving us defenseless against black lives matter. will biden pack the courts? yes will we become a communist nation? yes. will joe biden open the borders and destroy the environment. yes what’s the up side to this ? no upside just communism. anton says october 11, 2020 at 6:51 am it might help trump’s cause if he didn’t do things like cheat on his wife and pay off hookers, and then lie about wanting russia to help him win the election, and then lie on a daily basis about how great he is at everything, and how his denial of covid cost more american lives than all other countries on earth. he has always been a white supremacist at heart, and that’s great for all the poorly educated white people who can’t see that the man is a grifter and sociopath, but he has the right color skin and knows how to manipulate weak minded people into believing in some demonic left, which doesn’t exist in the us, unless actually allowing people health care is “communist”. he has done nothing in his life except take and line his own pockets as he managed to get himself bailed out repeatedly by foreign powers when he drove himself into bankruptcy. regan and mccain were real men, while trump is a narcissistic buffoon. he is a liar, cheater, racist, and sociopath, and that’s why so many in his own party want him out… anonymous says october 13, 2020 at 3:54 pm you are a blind sheep j. w. says october 15, 2020 at 8:42 pm exactly! all these leftist trump haters recite are liberal talking points which have all been proven false. they’ve got nothing else! sean f black says october 18, 2020 at 7:02 am you follow trump and call someone else a sheep.what a joke.if you actually had a brain you could see trump is the worst president ever.i guess you trump cultist who believe fox news and fantasy land shit like qanon have it right though.the rest of the entire world including all of our allies and the millions of people who didnt vote for trump are all wrong.he did lose the popular vote remember?fact he is a racist who says he doesnt believe in science and is destroying the environment.what he actually believes is anything that lines his pockets.a sheep is someone who blindly follows someone without having any facts.thats you and usually anyone who calls others sheep.trump doesnt give two shits about you except for the fact you are easily manipulated into voting for him.he is a professional con man and everything he does is for him.i hope you dont like healthcare,clean air and water or social security.no matter how many people who are close to him come out and say its all about him including his own family members and staff if doesnt matter to you does it?cause your a sheep. kelly says october 18, 2020 at 2:05 pm yes they are anonymous says october 21, 2020 at 1:39 pm pot, meet kettle. trump supporters cast more projections onto others than any other group, tenfold! it truly is laughable to call someone else a sheep while literally the only reason you refuse to wear a mask or denounce any news that isn’t fox as “fake”, use the word “radical” to describe anyone who doesn’t agree with you, don’t believe in science, think the pandemic is a hoax, etc. is because trump said it first! none of you are capable of thinking for yourself. not once did you describe liberals as radical before trump did, not once did you ever utter the word “fake news” before trump did, not once did you deny science until trump did. do you go to the doctor? have you ever been to the doctor? that’s science, hypocrite! you guys live, eat and breathe trump. if he says jump, you say how high. if he told you to open up so he could take a dump in your mouth, you’d ask how wide. you hate anyone who doesn’t think like you, you’re incapable of accepting facts, you lack comprehension to even process words. your entire vocabulary comes from trump. it’s literally the dumbing down of society. yet once again, the confidence is high amongst the ignorant. what a sad, sad reality to have to witness. preston parker says october 26, 2020 at 9:46 pm obama put us 13 trillion dollars in debt, business flew out of america to china, i lost $750,000 in stock while obama ripped of america so china could get rich. obama and biden gave billions to iran, only morons would believe that sand nig  s would keep there word. several terrorist organizations like isis got obama’s funds from iran to terrorize the mid east, many americans lost limbs from bombs hidden in the road by iran. trump put sanctions on iran. trump stopped job from leaving the usa. the illegal aliens that will destroy our environment, we’re going to a.i. and won’t need illegal aliens. anonymous says october 17, 2020 at 2:07 pm talk about drinking the kool aid. anonymous says october 18, 2020 at 11:08 am anton,you need help,your views are sick,i’ll bet you don’t have the education to run a men’s bathroom much less a country,you should get mental health evaluations asap john h says october 21, 2020 at 3:05 pm dems think people are stupid. how many voted for hrc? looks like dems are just over half right. anonymous says october 14, 2020 at 4:02 pm i don’t know how many times you did this but what your doing now is just wrong and eveil. i’m not a threat to the community. i say forgive all work together and let’s make a city of gold and love and compassion in the name of us veteran. i have love lots of good ideas that join the club. and work behind closed doors cause nobody will accept me. i survived and learned don’t have hatred just don’t end it like this. justin knott says october 19, 2020 at 4:00 am i love hearing from genuine people who haven’t been triggered by the communist marxists democrat liars that only believe every lie they are fed by the media that is more then 80% owned by big tech and the demorats so they use it to fill nonsense and lies into the heads of very unintelligent or easily brainwashed people. trump may not be a saint by any means but at least the man gives a crap about preserving this country and actually being about taking real steps to help people of color in this country. all the democrats of today do is show the rest of this great country just how deep the communists and marxists ideas and plans are being pushed to try to end this country and force it into a 3rd world country. if the democrats love people of color so much then why have they spent 40+ years agreeing with plans that lock up people of color for not violent crimes and continue to filter thier lies into the empty stomachs of those suffering to survive. allowing antifa and other to destroy thier own communities taking away jobs that people need and driving violence to a fever pitch because democrat leaders think we need no police and that liberalism is somehow going to stop violence or crime without enforcement. crime has more then quadrupled in democrat states because of the lack of law and order. now the libs are going as far to setup racial farses in order to put fuel on the fire. while antifa gets caught starting forest fires and dont get so much as a slap on the hand for thier crimes against humanity. anonymous says october 21, 2020 at 1:55 pm fact check: antifa isn’t a group, it’s a movement. do you even know what antifa is based on? the word itself is derived from of anti fascism. instead of blindlessly following what trump says with zero fact checking, you ought to do yourself a favor and i dunno, maybe do some research before you open up your face hole and spew out a bunch of erroneousness and outright lies. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/27/us rightwing extremists attacks deaths database leftwing antifa “but in reality leftwing attacks have left far fewer people dead than violence by rightwing extremists, new research indicates, and antifa activists have not been linked to a single murder in decades. a new database of nearly 900 politically motivated attacks and plots in the united states since 1994 includes just one attack staged by an anti fascist that led to fatalities. in that case, the single person killed was the perpetrator. over the same time period, american white supremacists and other rightwing extremists have carried out attacks that left at least 329 victims dead, according to the database. more broadly, the database lists 21 victims killed in leftwing attacks since 2010 , and 117 victims of rightwing attacks in that same period   nearly six times as much. attacks inspired by the islamic state and similar jihadist groups, in contrast, killed 95 people since 2010, slightly fewer than rightwing extremists, according to the data set. more than half of these victims died in a a single attack on a gay nightclub in orlando, florida, in 2016.” were you able to comprehend that or did your head explode? that’s right, right wing extremists killed more people than isis since 2010. how’s it feel finding out everything you were told was a lie? you gonna make it? want me to call the doctor? whoops, sorry, they can’t help you…science is a giant hoax, remember? preston p says october 26, 2020 at 9:19 pm antifa is a communist organization intent on destroying the united states of america and the way we live you would have to be a moron to think that they were some kind of nice kind people they are terrorist that should go to jail. i laughed my ass off when cnn was portraying antifa as peaceful demonstration and a man and a ski mask that we could not see his face walked up with 2 gallons of gas and poured it on a building and lit it up with a flair yes antifa is a peaceful people , kind people, but it’s there right to burn down some poor guys business that he spent 20 years working 7 day a week to build. yes! yes! you must be a moron to believe antifa is good. anonymous says october 22, 2020 at 1:06 pm 220000 dead and 8 million infected…farmers lost billions, businesses are shutting down after decades of business never to be seen again. millions of americans unemployed still from pandemic and idiots like you still think he cares about you, about every day americans? he only cares about himself you idiot. scotty johnson says november 1, 2020 at 12:37 pm right on anonymous says october 6, 2020 at 12:48 pm no matter what you do or say you democrat’s are liers and god hates a lier and we will all stand before our lord and our father in heaven and will answer because he will have the last say !!!!!!!! anon says october 9, 2020 at 3:48 am then god must really hate trump anonymous says october 13, 2020 at 8:20 am and democratic baby killers sandra says october 15, 2020 at 10:15 pm yes, democrats are doing satan work, they created the deep state over 80 years ago and obama creatwd the shadow government. all demoncrats are pure evil. anon says october 26, 2020 at 7:09 am if trump is pro life why have 225,000 americans died since feb, 2020? sean f black says october 18, 2020 at 7:04 am he also hates people who cant spell liar. anonymous says october 21, 2020 at 2:17 pm doesn’t the bible say something about ‘god helps those who help themselves’? you should help yourself to the dictionary and look up the definition of liar. also, if god will have the last say, why are you here again? just wasting your time condemning people. you’re not god. “thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” i’ll also leave this here: “beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. by their fruits ye shall know them. do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” dank says october 27, 2020 at 6:16 pm “god helps those who help themselves” although it has been commonly attributed to benjamin franklin, the modern english wording appears earlier in algernon sidney’s work. the phrase is often mistaken as a scriptural quote, though it is not stated verbatim in the bible. that just took 30 seconds of research. perhaps you should do that sometime. r e s e a r c h, there i spelled it for you. your’e welcome. dank says october 27, 2020 at 6:12 pm oh god hates? i must be reading the wrong bible. kathy says october 8, 2020 at 12:19 pm not looking that way today, boo hoo obama watched our citizens get their heads cut off on national news and did nothing. what a wussy!! i was embarresed he was our president eat says october 12, 2020 at 12:27 am ooh that hurt. i guess. ty says october 10, 2020 at 10:43 pm these riots in the name of “social justice” are the product of a culture that simply does not value objective truth. everything is a narrative, intertwined with the politics of identity and propagated by, in my opinion, the most destructive invention in the past 100 years: social media. if we give a megaphone to the least intelligent among us, indoctrinate entire groups of people to believe they are “victims”, and additionally have the msm fan the flames, then we stare down the barrel of a chaotic few years. one thing should be crystal clear to you by now: government does not act in your best interest; nor does the media. i wish so badly that people would think critically and form a rational basis for their decisions. riots? race wars? destruction of private property? idiots….. anonymous says october 16, 2020 at 5:39 am sounds like you’d like commy trump to shot blm l don’t think i’ll continue with your president and his trumpery anonymous says october 17, 2020 at 3:56 pm agreed. about time people wake up. how about teaching american history in school too. who decided to take that out. omg. what happened to learn from mistakes. hm. anonymous says october 18, 2020 at 10:58 am amen! frank lee says october 18, 2020 at 11:00 am amen! b says october 21, 2020 at 5:36 am you got the right idea. jhs says october 22, 2020 at 5:04 pm right on  well said! dictators are not a good thing says november 1, 2020 at 3:41 pm are you seriously praising a country ruled by a tyrannical dictator where protestors are shot? in favor of capital punishment for those that speak out against the system? russia sounds good to you? ..please move there •_•  north korea might be a welcome place for you as well 🙂 barry aishton says september 30, 2020 at 12:58 am i was messing around with google’s algorithm, just searching nonsense, asking questions as though to a sentient being. my theory is that google, facebook, amazon have already established dominance of the market in such a way that the they have enough influence that it is effectively control over the way human beings socialized with each other, discover new information, spread information, create culture. i realize that i’m tilting windmills by attempting to use the internet in such a fashion as the internet’s adware, and therefore internet, have absolutely no idea who i am, but since this is the comment section of a letter to the editor then i am assuming you know the feeling of just feeling like doing it anyway. in any event the author of why the left hates america has no understanding of any of the things which i just mentioned, the left, what they think the left’s complaints are of trump, what trump has accomplished, what trump has promised, what a leftist utopia of a worker’s paradise is, or what the conditions of reality are that are preventing a better world. they certainly are not aware of what a false dichotomy is, or a number of other logical fallacies. they claim racism, economic inequality, and exploitation are natural states of humanity that are inevitable. if they had been writing satire that would have had a point, if their conclusion was that capitalism definitely depends on racism, economic inquality, and exploitation. capitalism, however, is not a biological fact of human nature, nor is it an even a little bit of an old one; capitalism is a baby, just like america. the engine of capitalism’s function is absolutely exploitation. if people were paid what their labor was worth than the profit could never be made because their labor is what makes the product more valuable than the sum of the commodities parts. it’s a scam that a very small percentage of the world are running on the majority of us. does anybody suppose that any of this logic will be helpful in a discussion with this person, or has the google/facebook/amazon control i spoke of earlier already become so successful that we are incapable of seeing things from any other way than the same things that google/facebook/amazon continue to show us because it is what we “like” and they are in the business of selling us things? would it be of any use to point out the many ways in which trump’s actions have been so consistently unconstitutional that anybody in support of trump would have to be the ones that hate america? is anything going to be worth my time writing this? anonymous says october 1, 2020 at 9:16 am trump will win no place for socialism in this republic everything is backwards the left has lost their control and it makes them crazy. frasercrest says october 2, 2020 at 2:41 pm most of the founding fathers considered themselves to be liberal. george washington was very clear when he said america was not founded on any christian principles. anyone who believes that people should run the gov. and not the other way around are basically liberal. liberalism stems from the bibles list of virtues, is in harmony with the command to help the poor & needy (not doing so destroyed sodom, according to ezekiel and jesus). lincoln’s republican party was socially liberal and conservatives fought against lincoln and the union. conservatives used their bibles to justify slavery, opposed citizenship for former slaves, opposed voting rights, opposed interracial marriage, fought for segregation with violence, opposed civil rights act, oppose the constitutional guarantee of equality. conservatives have been on the wrong side off history, even with the 13 colonies before america’s independence, they persecuted others and behaved more like the taliban than a people following the teachings of christ, whose gospel was love and peace. conservatives switching parties and then altering the party platform to reflect their ‘conservative’ views, does not wash away their history which required amendments to the constitution in order to protect the unalienable rights of all people from conservatives who wanted to have more rights than others. (emancipation amendment, right to vote for women and citizens of african descent, and the civil rights act). s. s. says october 5, 2020 at 10:09 am oooh!!! bam!!! u absolutely nailed it. thank u for ur courage to say what needed to be said. god bless ur new week and the rest of ur days. and, never be afraid to speak the uncompromised truth to those who need to hear it in order to bring change that is necessary. those who have ears to hear  listen and take this to heart. and, those who have, perhaps, only one ear opened  wake up! and, for those who go on in their greed and wanton lusts for more power and control, especially over other people (with both ears closed)  may god have mercy on u. s. s. says october 5, 2020 at 10:26 am my above reply was for frasercrest. cansayso says october 5, 2020 at 11:39 am frasercrest changed the word democrat to conservatives to fulfill his socialist idiology. natalie says july 27, 2021 at 3:56 pm that’s exactly what i thought, too, when i read his leftist rant! you took the words right out of my mouth! jmc says october 6, 2020 at 10:56 am and there goes another liberal trying to blame slavery on the conservatives. but hey, we still have our right to freedom of speech, most of it anyway. so those that wish to attribute slavery and the fight against equality to the conservatives, how about you quickly search all than statues that’s been removed. find the names of the people those statues represented and then look up to see if they were democrat it republican. you can’t guess with my mention that nine out of ten were democrat. as was it the democrats agenda to fight against ending slavery and equality. we’re there conservatives fighting along with the democrats? in fact a great many were supporting that cause. but why? i’ll tell you why, just as they continue to do today, they sit and think up schemes on how to get what they want and plot and plan until they get it. a great many southern conservatives were uneducated back in those days, and never did anyone question the news. back then, if the news said it, then it may as well been true because it became the gospel when the news reported it. them democrats, knowing that lincoln was a conservative could see exactly what was about to go down, with lincoln supporting equality and being against slavery. all the democrats could see at that time was thousands and thousands of free slaves that would be gaining the right to vote, and giving that conservatives were fighting on there side, the assumption by democrats was a huge number of conservative voters were about to enter the population of they couldn’t stop it. so they made use of a lot of the southern people who were less educated, by getting them all worked up with propaganda and out right lies. the democrats started the war and used conservatives to fight against conservatives. it was a win, win situation for the democrats. prevent a bunch of conservative voters from entering the population and through the war kill off a bunch more by having them fight each other. if you look around, you’ll see that same tactic being used right now, propaganda and lies have caused thousands of people to protest, riot, and destroy cities and towns all across this nation. for the democrats all that matters is gain of power and control and they really don’t care how many people have to die for them to attain that power. they don’t care if cities and towns get destroyed none of that matters. so as they did long ago, they will continue to divide the people creating two sides to fight against each other, because they know that united we stand and divided we fall. and as long as they can keep a division they know they are above the law and can get away with whatever they want. it’s when we start to stand together that they become worried. anon says october 9, 2020 at 3:53 am i guess you can’t handle the truth. funny how the kkk and neo nazi groups back trump. m.d. says october 18, 2020 at 6:48 pm democrats are too dumb to know america’s history and have been exposed for all their corruptions and i’m pisitive there’s alot more that we haven’t discovered yet! everything just about that comes out of biden’s mouth is a lie, but there aren’t alot of democrats that want the truth anymore! the media is so full of lies and their sheep eat it up! if the truth is not in you, you can be ruled by satan and i’m starting to believe that those on the left are either totally decieved, or purposely following the dems straight into satan’s plan. socialism leads to communism and how many times in the bible did the lird say that he wants to set all of free from bondage? well, you are either for god or against him and there is no in between! the u.n. having complete control and the one world order are satan’s ultimate goal to rule and reign the earth. it’s all in scripture and back by scrolls, the greek text, and hebrew! everything predicted has happened and once the rest if the prophesies are fulfilled, us christians will be raptured and satan will be their master for only a few years, until we come back with christ and make things right again! fir all you haters who don’t believe, when you have to rake a mark and deny christ, remember that you are sealing your fate in hell for eternity! president trump  a flawed human being, is being used by god right now. god could use anyone! if you have any knowledge at all about the bible, you’ll know that god used a murderer if christians( changed his life too), he used a drunk, a tax collector, and many other’s that not even christians would consider christians to change their own lives and bring thousands of other’s to christ. the bible also says to pray for our leaders, he never said that you had to like him or her either( which i absolutely agree 100% with trumps policies btw) but if you you claim to be a christian and hate our president, your not only hating god choice as our leader, but your consuming your own heart with hatred and dying spiritually because of it! god hates liars, and if you support all the lies( even as god is exposing them) you’re lining up with satan and his deceptions. i hope biden goes to prision for holding back funds promised to ukraine until the prosecutor who was going after hunter biden was fired. that is called quick pro quo. obama did nothing about this! biden has recieved thousands of dollars giving foreignors access to the white house. if anyone is ok with this  there’s plenty of proof of all of this, your already being decieved by satan. the truth is already out there! you just are too blind to want to hear it! don’t bother responding to me either, the truth is either in you or not, that’s your choice to make! deodie hammac says october 7, 2020 at 5:12 pm the south lost. the republican party was formed to stop the democrat party that wanted to keep slavery.. the democrats were the kkk, jim crow was a democrat. the democrats were a racist party. the republicans were not. i don’t recognize anything that you said as actual true history. your account of it is backwards to say the least. erin says october 9, 2020 at 6:08 am rest assured, the celebrities who earn 200 million a year and the multi billionaire tech giants will be just fine. if anyone thinks these people actually care about the rank and file, you are delusional. actions always speak louder than the lies that are circulated constantly. the president has actually helped the people of our country, as well as the rest of the world. believer in god not man says november 10, 2020 at 5:41 pm rolls and rolls of words words words if you are smart learn the meaning of freedom and the meaning of socialism take your pick it is your life. b says october 15, 2020 at 2:50 pm then why are the liberals “antifa” removing george washington’s statues, along with any of the other singers of the declaration of independence statues/memorials they can find? anonymous says october 17, 2020 at 2:12 pm i realize you’re probably just an indoctrinated kid or maybe a little mentally challenged. nothing wrong with that, but maybe you shopuld read a hisytory book. you seem to have a complete failed understanding what the two political parties represented thoughout history. anonymous says october 3, 2020 at 5:07 am when did the left have control??? anonymous says october 15, 2020 at 2:53 pm right, but it’s obvious they always have, it’s just our president has exposed this truth. nancy says october 3, 2020 at 6:33 pm we need bigger prisons. george says october 5, 2020 at 10:08 am i thought the democrats were the ones that backed slavery has for the bible the word of god is not bad except to the godless democrats jennifer says october 3, 2020 at 9:55 pm exactly! lol the dude above who thinks that people should be paid what they’re worth and is stating that they’re not needs to go open his own business then and run it all by himself. or he can just stay living off of the system and hope that the government pays him what he’s worth sit around and do nothing! 😆 deodie hammac says october 7, 2020 at 5:13 pm you are so so right! kathy says october 8, 2020 at 12:13 pm not looking that way today, boo hoo eat says october 12, 2020 at 12:30 am god you people are sick. gofer broke says october 1, 2020 at 9:25 am we used to have statesman now it is politicians frasercrest says october 2, 2020 at 2:43 pm now, politicians and businessmen completely devoid of ethics who have committed fraud, money laundering, and tax evasion, to name a few. anon says october 9, 2020 at 3:55 am more like con men juan c says october 7, 2020 at 8:30 pm people are so ignorang that vote for crooks,scun like parasites biden with a dossier of 47 years doing nothing but getting rich.like voting for a homosexual with his trans partner that enter the wh with 200,000 bank account in 2008 and when leave in 2016 the first thin he do was to buy not one but two manssions. how he got the money? for sure not working summer says october 2, 2020 at 12:30 pm https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v hivnmudxm&t=1859s would you consider watching this in its entirety? anonymous says october 3, 2020 at 5:07 am great talk. thx for the link daniel j smith says october 20, 2020 at 8:50 am i watched the jordan peterson video. amazing insight! eb says october 2, 2020 at 11:21 pm no it was not worth you writing i’d down, deb says october 3, 2020 at 4:40 am nope nothing worth your time writing this. everything is bad. selfish. hypocritical. just the way it is deb says october 3, 2020 at 4:45 am i love that you wrote that! preach! true patriotism! obvi trumpers hate america because they worship a dictator! george says october 5, 2020 at 10:11 am i thought the democrats were the ones that backed slavery has for the bible the word of god is not bad except to the godless democrats we republicans hate america have you been watching the news we aren’t the ones rioting and robing beating up on people it’s you crazy democrats deodie hammac says october 7, 2020 at 5:18 pm that is the true history and facts. the democrats are the ones that wanted to keep their slaves and their kkk. deodie hammac says october 7, 2020 at 5:17 pm you need to find a news station that is known for reporting the facts and not their view. the democrat view is unstable and president trump is not a dictator. the radical left wing news and the party itself just framed it that way so that the people that still watch their bs keep believing it. romero says october 8, 2020 at 11:46 am what kind of dictator is he? one that has been openly criticized, insulted,, ridiculed, harassed by the media, tried by congress, etc. etc. you should live in china, cuba, russia, to understand what dictatorship is like. laura says october 5, 2020 at 9:11 pm i don’t know how you found your way onto this threat, but you speak truth to power. i grew up in a different america, one where this was a two party system (and the money that controlled both) and every few years the metronome would swing more democratic or more republican but was within acceptable bounds because it always swung back toward the middle. it kept the rich getting richer but there was also a healthy middle class, and for the most part, less hatred and a bit more civility. i am biased because i grew up in new york and it’s almost its own country. i don’t recognize this level of hatred. i do know that we now have monopolies all over again, the way we did back in the old at&t days etc words so matter. democratic socialism is no different than christian right. t says october 6, 2020 at 4:04 am wtf??? kathy says october 8, 2020 at 12:12 pm big tech rules our country, distorts info and tries to make people think the way they want them too. and if you say something they don’t like, they just remove it from their site. jh says october 10, 2020 at 9:11 pm you are so right! it such bullsh*t. lori says october 9, 2020 at 10:58 pm this is the only intelligent comment to this post, so i’m thankful for you taking the time to work the algorithm and share your educated thoughts on this. kudos! schnertzman says october 14, 2020 at 12:57 pm let’s dig into one thing here… you referenced so called unconstitutional acts by president trump… so just as i have in many blogs and hundreds of posts across the net asked, : what has he done that meets the stated criteria.? you cannot point any too anything in any legal aspect of the law or the constitution of any said violations. the original collusion story and the subsequent mueller probe was deemed and stated directly by mueller’s team, “no collusion, no obstruction of justice… as stated in congressional and senate hearings. documents released recently, show the intel agencies telling obama that hillary was commiting illegalities and they backed up her action to stop trump. the whole predicate was based on false opp research, that was illegally acted in. the impeachment was false, and without evidence. they lost, as there was no legal basis for it. it was done to cause problems because they could. it was an exercise in resistance. how could you be so ignorant to fall fo allr that? i could go on and on about the fraud the democrats have done in the process. heck trump could have had several of these politicians arrested for seddition. i suggest you find another place for your misguided views other than law, because you are falling flat on your face on this. you fell in to that liberal leftist trap, the media spoon fed you lies for years and it’s all been proven false by documents and investigation, yet you cannot accept it. such is the actions of petulant children who were denied additional playtime when failed to do their chores or homework. why would you allow yourself to be used in such a way. and yes, google, facebook, twitter, and 95% of the media has suppressed conservative views. they fire their conservative employees, they suppress users comments, and they allow abhorrent behaviour on the left to be. there will be no socialist or eutopian life here for you. eventually the tough americans are going to stand up and fight back. oh yeah, and were the ones on the right. what i run into in the real world, is no liberal or democrat that ever debates. you either believe them. or they just block you out, or attack you even physically. with leftists,, no one is allowed an alternate pov. they want you to held for thought crimes. purely insane. that’s singularly on the left. good luck fellow anerican alareenie76 says november 1, 2020 at 3:41 am yes ! thank you! even the language is horrid ! how is the “right ” wing the pro life and the other is pro choice rather than pro child ! the pro choice side is all about every child being born wanted not about every fetus being born ! americans are so in love with fetuses but neglect children . they do not want healthcare americans only believe in their christian “god” believing god is a great guy that only murdered all of mankind a few times men, fetuses ,babies, children , women ,animals ,and plants, were murdered by god ! they must have an archaic explanation of miscarriage ! is the woman evil or a witch ? maybe god causes miscarriage! miscarriage =abortions by god ! it is indeed an evil society that encourages intelligence and is run by theology whilst pretending to separate fiction from facts ! we are at a precipice now where we will fall into infinite darkness as the middle east has and go back to the stern religious rules that disregard women or we can move forward to the light . do you remember the shah of iran ? he was terrible but the religious right in power now is a vision of trump’s version of america ! i voted against trump i had to vote biden dennis richardson says september 29, 2020 at 10:44 pm the political left in america does not understand why the templar to london banking system over the last nine hundred years has the world presently enslaved by the rothschild rockefeller bush clinton obama crimes families in america and many other european crime families. dishonest currency has the human race enslaved, the almighty warned that this would happen because he can see into the our future. donald trump is not liked by the british royals because trump is going upset their self serving gravy train. this little con game has been going on for several hundred years in london and the vatican in rome. deb says october 3, 2020 at 4:47 am i love that you wrote that! preach! true patriotism! obvi trumpers hate america because they worship a dictator! obama crime families? wtf are you smoking notoneofthem says september 28, 2020 at 6:26 pm exceptional compilation of the many twisted lies of the liberal socialist democratic party of guilt. i was driving through a 95% insanely wealthy, white neighborhood yesterday and counted the black lives matter and “i can’t breathe” signs. i counted 47 signs. this here lies the problem. if these wickedly wealthy people want to help the poor, black families….they should use their money and build a few homes in their own backyards of the 3 million dollar potomac and chevy chase homes. protect their new black neighbors from the nasty racist police with their stone and steel fences which surround their mansions..(home). they should be giving all they can to pay the bills of these poor black families (the ones they took on to their property and are now supporting them). instead, they want me to apologize for my white privilege and elect a president to tax the hell out of me while their wives play tennis and meet at starbucks. the nannies and illegal housemaids can clean their mansion and all the homes they built for the poor black families in their back yard. sick and twisted democrats with their biden and blm signs. harry says september 29, 2020 at 1:07 pm good stuff! hollywood and the athletes should put their money where their big mouths are.big nba strike,23 hours! erin says october 9, 2020 at 6:16 am exactly. the celebrities and tech giants and inherited wealth love to march and talk about how sympathetic they are to the causes, then they beef up their security and tell their fans to vote for the liberals. gorbz says september 26, 2020 at 3:13 pm here’s the long and the short of it. left isn’t stupid they just know alot about nothing and don’t listen. right isn’t wrong but they don’t like to be not be heard and talk down to by pussys. donnie h says september 25, 2020 at 11:32 am you people are either brainwashed or are accomplices in the brainwashing of gullible uninformed or misinformed americans. ever since republicans pushed for the repeal of the fairness doctrine more than 30 years ago, right wing media has used lies,propaganda and deciet to divide americans by using fear and anger to herd their sheep who listen to them. it’s always and us vs. them mentality. in the warped reality of those under the control of right wing brainwashing, the left wants to take your, guns, your freedoms, your jobs, your religion. you scare people into thinking that the left wants to implement sharia law, communism, socialism, marxism. you scare them into thinking immigrants are coming for you. blm is coming for you. antifa is coming for you. mexicans are coming for you. gay people and transgenders are going to rape you in public restrooms. hell i’ve even heard that hillary clinton and obama, excuse “killary” and “obummer” is running child sex rings out of the basement of pizza parlors and that the left secretly eats children. the right throws all these outlandish conspiracy theories against the wall and sees what sticks with their ignorant gullible sheep. they then use the fear and anger that their brainwashing generates to divide the country and keep americans worrying about each other instead of paying attention to what those in power are doing. it’s classic divide and conquer to maintain the status quo and keep those who are rich and powerful, rich and powerful. the rest of us are left fighting over what’s left and blami h each other for all of our problems instead of blaming the politicians who wage a daily propaganda war to keep those who are rich and powerful in power and the rest of us subservient to them. i’m a 16 year usaf vet (combat search and rescue) served in combat in multiple theaters around the world. including iraq, afghanistan, yemen, somalia and bosnia. after retiring from the military i continued to serve my country locally as a firefighter (asst. chief/medic) and also as a reserve deputy sheriff for 7 years. i currently work for nasa as a project manager. i have spent most of my adult life serving this country and putting my life on the line daily and for uninformed, ignorant, gullible right wing sheep to claim that i hate this country really pisses me off to no end. especially as they worship a draft dodging president who supposedly had bone spurs so bad he couldn’t serve but not so bad that he couldn’t play high school and college sports. a man that has had no one in his family ever even attempt to serve in the military. a man who has taken russia’s word over his own intelligence agencies. a man who to this day has not even condemned the russian bounties put on our soldiers heads. a man who attacks pow’s who were tortured in service to our country while he stayed home with “bone spurs”. a man who attacks gold star family’s. a man that called those who lost their lives in war in defense of their country “losers”. any one of his followers who continue to support that is not patriotic but complicit in his teasonous behavior and no better than he is. the real americans and patriots are the ones outraged by his actions. not the ones who try to defend it and continue to worship him like a cult… anonymous says september 26, 2020 at 4:09 pm jesus will set you free. turn to him. aspyn noëlle dommer says september 27, 2020 at 5:02 pm lol you’re the pinhead who is brainwashed. pull your head out of your hind quarters and educate yourself on what is really going on as for trump dodging the draft that is a bold faced lie but that is what you progressive liberal imbeciles do best. tell me mr. marxist. did barrack hussein odumbo serve his country? no he did not. he didn’t serve a america’s president either. he spent 8 years apologizing for america. he empowered our enemies, he depleted our military, he incited violence and death on our men and women in blue “the police”. i could write a flippin’ book on odumbo’s failures. president trump has done more for america, and we the people than any president in history. don’t like it than pack up your bag and head on over to venezuela, cuba, chili, mexico, syria, iraq, iran, vietnam, haiti and so forth if you hate america’s president and our country. signed: proud daughter of real veteran who gave his life for people like you. #youshouldbeashamedofyourself. anonymous says september 28, 2020 at 1:46 pm you are a fake american. our democracy is on the line. you have no clue. the false evangelicals pastors want trump to be their man king to rule them and to praise and worship trump because they want a god they can see..they have lost their faith in god. we have the king of kings jesus christ of nazareth. your false pastors have deceived you. they love trump because of money. just follow the money trail my friend and see all the false evangelicals pastors who are backing trump. they got millions of dollars in their bank accounts. they want to keep deceiving peoples like you. they are rich and taxes free. they are just like trump keep deceiving you about making america great. america always have been great. trump is destroying america; he trying to take away the dreams and vision of young americans who one day may have a desire to become president of america. trump is on the edge of being a traitor. he working with all kinds of enemies: coronavirus, russia. he is a person who is highly corrupted, he is a racist, he is a liar, instead of trying to defeat the coronavirus he is helping the spreading of this enemy,he allowed russia to attack our troops. trump owes every nations china an all money. he have robbed the country by not paying taxes. he doesn’t care about americans he owe so much money and is in too deeply over his head. he have completely divided americans. we are americans and we can not fall for this con man behavior. we got to glue america back. we can’t fall for these television reality stars. our lives can’t be in the hands of such a narcissist individual. i an i alone type peoples. this type of behavior is the act of satan. for all the false evangelicals pastors you all know this to be true. so stop lying to your flocks. you are sending them all to hell because you all have fallen for the antichrist character. trump has no characteristic of jesus christ of nazareth. every since trump became president the false evangelicals pastors have changed their principles of what jesus taught. they are so wide open now with their morality. all sins are sins and will lead to death. faith without work is dead. anonymous says september 29, 2020 at 11:10 pm learn proper grammar please and then maybe your points would be valid mary rogers says september 30, 2020 at 7:28 am cannot wait to re elect president trump. he is not owned by the ccp unlike #dementiajoe & the democrat party. anonymous says september 30, 2020 at 3:29 pm everything you just said it false anonymous says october 3, 2020 at 4:54 am trump has covid!!! there is justice after all!! say what you will trump supporters! your boy, who downplayed and dismissed coronavirus now has it!!! suck it!!!! t says october 6, 2020 at 4:11 am ramble on much? rdog says october 11, 2020 at 7:45 am every point you made is false or completely misleading. you want to keep practicing your faith in christ, then vote for the man defending religious liberty and vote against the party that has introduced godless, nihilistic marxism. kathy says october 8, 2020 at 12:18 pm not looking that way today, boo hoo obama watched our citizens get their heads cut off on national news and did nothing. what a wussy!! i was embarresed he was our president _ says october 26, 2020 at 12:20 am careful aspyn, your racism is showing. chris says september 29, 2020 at 8:18 pm i just want one of you idiots to show me a single mention of christ or god or the bible in either the declaration of independence or the consititution. go on geniuses. i’m waiting. i will give you non researching fundamentalists a clue: there isn’t a single one, unless you count the word “creator”, which is mentioned once in the declaration of independence. that’s it. no mention of this being a christian nation or a biblical nation or any other, for that matter. so, please kindly stfu about this country being founded as such. k, thx idiots. rhina says september 30, 2020 at 10:05 pm *in god we trust” is printed on our money. you are an ignorant one anyone in america who hates us do hate god. enough is enough america citizens are not dumb as you haters believe. the truth of america is an inspiration to the world. no wonder every day citizens are being terrorized while the media keeps on lying, the real traitors are greedy terrorist who think wearing a mask keeps you safe from a virus. you haters will get your war and just like history the american spirit will win because this is god’s country. bill says october 3, 2020 at 6:53 pm you will find out one day that you were wrong when you meet your maker. the word of god says plainly that all leaders of all nations were established by god himself. so bottom line good luck with what you think you know…. dennis richardson says september 29, 2020 at 10:50 pm best answer yet; no historical, economic, political answer is better. dvldg94 says september 26, 2020 at 7:59 pm you’re a good man don. i wish i was surrounded by more men like you. shane says september 27, 2020 at 1:01 am i can see your a smart man and has common sense . but trump is not the enemy it’s the people in congress that have been there for 20 30 years and all they do is stall everything and is divided . for once i am proud of this country and have faith because of president trump. it don’t matter who is in office it’s only 4 to 8 years and i hated obama tho he was a good speaker that’s about it . america will either prevail or fall like the roman empire. it’s inevitable. mark says october 3, 2020 at 10:08 pm shane   could not have said it better. like him or not, if trump loses, we’ll only have him for about 3 m0re months. if he wins, we’ll have him for about 4 yrs and 3 months. then, he will be gone. but the dnc and rnc and congress will still be here. all they do now is favors for some kind or another big business. the left loves banking and finance and huge tech and everybody else who is extremely wealthy. if you don’t believe me, then tell me why wjc repealed the glass steagal act?? asinine move. all it did was make investment bankers, insurance co’s, stock and finance brokers and some politicians wealthy. the cost, of course, fell on the average american taxpayers’ shoulders through the crash of ’08. the feds turned around and bailed out the large banks et al (and they were the ones who caused it!) by giving them trillions of $$ because they were “too big to fail!?!?!” the audacity! the rnc also loves its’ big $$ also, of course. more traditional biz like oil, pharma etc. but, both parties have giving up representing the average american. we have no money to speak of so they don’t give a crap about us unless it’s to squeeze $50 bucks out of our fingers when the election is drawing near. unfortunately, the ones that need to fix this are those same criminals who are benefiting from it. and, in the meantime, we’re being attacked by marxists who are sneakin’ in the back door while everyone’s paying attention to trump. all of our institutions have already been taken over by the marxists and are putting 100% of their energy into making damn sure trump does not win re election. they’re very scared of trump because he’s a renegade, not a politician from one of their political machines and so, like him or not, he catch’s more grief than i ever thought was even possible. the lying by the press is mind boggling. all we would have to do is put much more of a limit on campaign donations and put in place term limits on the legislative branch. so. this will never happen, therefore, we are doomed. and, after the smoke clears, they’ll also blame this on trump. michael ogden says september 27, 2020 at 7:30 am thankfully as of yet trump has not completely managed to derail the election, but not for a lack of trying and i don’t trust those who are swearing they wont let him steal the election any more than i trusted they were telling the truth about “never putting a new justice on the supreme court in an election year after the primaries.” at this point i hardly think i have to explain the rational behind any trump supporters still left trying to find excuses as they have eliminated every excuse but hate. i bet when the secret service is forced to evict him the chances are 50/50 he will have to be forcibly removed as he is fully aware the dozens of charges against him have been waiting for donald j. trump the citizen who has benefited from so much white privilege if he had been a normal or even close to normal person as soon as he moved into the white house it would have been marked as the residence of a sex predator. we have lost credibility we can never regain as long as the world remembers that agreements with the u.s.a. will be violated on a whim by the next degenerate racist that is voted into office. mary rogers says september 30, 2020 at 7:32 am the democrats & china are the only group trying to derail the election . rhina says september 30, 2020 at 10:13 pm racist like your self obviously doesn’t even know america is a colorless society. look at your license it doesn’t say what race you are does it? hmm only you racist wouldn’t notice this. truth hurts but lies kill people. jane says september 27, 2020 at 1:41 pm stop in 2nd line “right wing media has used lies,propaganda and deciet to divide americans by using fear and anger to herd their sheep who listen to them. “ let me tell the real truth  i have lived in this country for 64 years. i’ve lived through the 60s and witnessed actions that a very young age i didn’t understand and my mother telling me “it’s wrong”. i appreciated and respected martin luther king. none of you could fill his shoes. and let me correct your story   obama started this whole division in america. i’ve lived it, i’ve seen it and i was shocked that was it happening again with obama. i felt our country had gone back in time to the 1960s and obama was the one pushing the agenda. democrats are guilty of allowing this to continue   not one democrat nor black stood against him. now, unfortunately, we have arrived to a peak of hatred and disaccord that it is sickening, disgusting and it’s not the way america operates with thugs/antifa criminals destroying our building and police cars. setting fires, beating up innocent people and spewing curse words and antagonizing innocent people trying to have dinner with their family. this is not the republicans fault this is 100% the production of the democrat party. donnie, you are filled with vile. and hatred, you joined the right party. mary rogers says september 30, 2020 at 7:37 am jane has a severe case of tds. i look forward to re electing president trump in november. kathy says october 8, 2020 at 12:20 pm i agree anonymous says september 30, 2020 at 9:04 am don don you must have got hooked up to a communist buddy to have served and hate america. i got drafted in 1968 in the vn war and later served in the air guard and the air force overseas and i believe trump is not perfect and neither are youi. stop your down grade of america behind your communist beliefs and jesus somehow will touch your heart. your not superman just because of your military service, be glad you are alive like so many others are dead. so many other men and women served and are quiet you just have a big mouth. anonymous says october 2, 2020 at 8:01 am hmmmm…….i could really care less for either side. but from what i have observed in life……no man is perfect. if god had made man perfect……..he would of put his dick on his chin !!! cora says october 1, 2020 at 7:36 pm this is proof how the left backed media has effectively brainwashed you! they want to turn people against trump so you will vote for biden. the russian bounty hunters story was made up. the suckers and losers story was made up. there are several people that were with him the whole day and said he never said that! bone spurs are extremely painful, you can’t even walk. he would have been a liability to the military if he joined. the last 5 presidents haven’t been in the military. why don’t you villainize them? because cnn didn’t tell you. trump is anti  war. he is bringing our soldiers back. obama got us into 7 wars in the middle east, causing our soldiers to die while he lined his pockets with kickbacks from weapons manufacturers. they tell you trump is racist. trump has given historically black colleges over $750 million in funding, the highest in their history. he brought 5g to poor black neighborhoods so they could access remote learning. he’s released blacks imprisoned unfairly for minor non  threatening drug offenses (see alice johnson). under trump, latinos and blacks have the lowest unemployment ever. with the wall, he’s reduced human trafficking, drug smuggling and rapes in border states 90%. but you will never hear positive from cnn and other mainstream media. killary paid to have the russian collusion dossier made up! the corrupt fbi went along with it. she’s evil! oblahma and biden are traitors to america! they, through hunter biden’s company bohoi harvest rst, received $1.5 billion from the ccp, so the china communist party can obtain american military technologies!! they sold us out to our enemies!! china got our nuclear secrets through the oblahma biden admin! as a military vet, you should be horrified! trump signed 3 bills for our veterans to get better and immediate treatment and help for suicidal veterans. you can google all this info yourself. the deceiving mainstream media and evil democrats have 1 goal and it is to destroy america and our freedom! they are turning our country socialist! if you watch sotu address 2020, you will see no evidence of the bad things about trump that you believe… you will see proof of how hateful the democrats are! you will see trump positively change the lives of 5 audience members, most of them not white. you tube: blacks for trump round table trump meets with latinos lonnel harris bcp dan bongino walk away america you just parrot all these claims you heard from the mainstream media. i have actual proof. educate yourself and don’t take the media’s words… they only want high ratings. by the way, even foreign countries know the truth as trump has been nominated for 3 nobel peace prizes. hope you see the truth and share with others who are brainwashed by the media. god bless you charles says october 4, 2020 at 6:45 am thank you for your comments on here. it’s sickening for me to hear all this negativity and hatred for one man without any basis except jealousy! i say jealousy because trump was once a democrat while just a businessman. he left that party of corruption to join the republican party because he became wise to their agenda and has been on a quest to take down the democratic socialists and deep state and end all of the government’s corruption! his tireless and fearless non filtered approach is exactly what is needed. oh he has certainly pissed off quite a few on the left because he doesn’t talk with the tongue of a politician… “ use proper political words when speaking”. no not mr trump. political lingo is hush words to the public and covert. trump is and always will be one that will use “ common english “ to speak and that pisses the left off. too bad crybabies! you want real truths or do you want fake ass political words to sugar coat what the corrupt politicians are doing to our country??? the great division began way back in the clinton administration and perhaps even further back. clinton is the one the cut drastically our defense spending so much that he closed many many military installations which opened the floodgates to allow terror to enter this country and this is what they want to blame on trump? bs! corruption runs deep within the leftist democratic socialistic bastards! you want to see racism? look no further than them. leave trump out of that. for ch. sake how many times in the last 30 years does one need to denounce any and all hate groups before it sinks in that he does not support or stand for supremacy of any race??? how many??? he denounced this all long before his presidency and has repeatedly continues to do so!! and i have those proofs! in fact he has even gone on record several times to say he has no room for hatred in this country. 3 peace treaties in 29 days signed. this alone is unprecedented as obama nor clinton made any attempt to restore peace in the middle east. trump has 3 ! so don’t tell anyone this man has accomplished zero. look past your own nose and see pinocchio joe at it for 47 years and has zero to show for it except he’s the liar! hell he can’t even tell you the truth about his education much less what policy he supports . ex. new green deal is the framework for his no fracking policy and no more fossil use. oh wait that was last months news. now it’s i don’t support the new green deal and i’m not about to eliminate 600,000 american jobs from pa alone. send that career loser to the nursing home before the left destroys him more. joe is just a puppet on a long ass string and the puppet master is one of your rich billionaires that want to wreck america! joe didn’t pick that whore to be his running mate. they can’t even stand each other. the puppet masters son picked her after she swallowed his load! as far as tax avoidance story. fake as fuck! he actually overpaid his taxes by. nearly $76 million overall! and prepaid much of them during those years your left wing cnn pussy fake reporters spoke of! i have proof of that as well! oh by the way, calling vets losers… another fake story to add to your liberal left wing deep state narrative. how would a potus say that after boosting our military, increase their wages, drastically improve the va healthcare system to name a few! gimme a break ! your hatred for one man is so deep that any negative mention about president trump and you people run with it and twist it even more! i’m done with you liberal leftists and your socialist / communist agenda! rob dwyer says october 2, 2020 at 6:07 pm i take it that you’;re a stone cold democrat that has blinded himself so that you can’t see the road before you. a pity? pat says october 3, 2020 at 11:40 am very well said. that article is a pack of the biggest bullshit i have ever read. they just keep trying to blame blame blame others on the gigantic mess this country is in. stop blaming and stop enabling your cult leader. now he has the virus due to his irresponsibility, phony bravado, and ignorance. please stop blaming everything on others beside your sorry leader and your sorry selves. we do not hate america!!!! what a stupid statement made up out of nowhere and i and many others find the insulting, lee ving says october 5, 2020 at 4:11 pm seriously? look at who’s brainwashed. everything you accuse the republicans of doing is exactly what the democrats are guilty of. typical left wing mo   deny everything and blame it on the republicans. keep repeating your lies until more weak minded people (democrats) start to believe your lies. or just ignore an issue when you can’t deflect the blame to republicans. anonymous says october 6, 2020 at 12:03 am man you are either insane or a communist. anonymous says october 7, 2020 at 2:18 pm it is obvious you, donnie, listen only to the left wing democrat, socialist, marxist media. you listen to and believe lies!!! jj says october 9, 2020 at 2:53 pm are you saying he hasn’t done anything good for our military? i’m not saying he does no wrong, he says a lot of messed up things and has done things i don’t agree with, but he also has done many many great things for us and doesn’t just say it without following through,like many in the past have. did you ever really stop for a minute and seriously think about some questionable things? like why are the democrats trying everything in their power, since the day he got elected, to get him out? i mean it’s been one thing after another his entire 4 years, what are they so scared of? why can’t they just back off for 5 minutes and let him do his job? and could it be possible that the left are doing everything in their power, to make anyone who calls them out crazy and conspiracy theorist? when there is actual proof of a lot of these so called “conspiracy theories”. i was on the fence for a while and questioning both sides but after doing tons and tons of my own research i have found so many evil things with actual proof coming from the dems side. anytime i do start to question it again i find something else awful they do and it just keeps happening so try and just be open minded and do extra digging to know the truth. we are not brainwashed especiallly someone who was on the fence. c c says september 25, 2020 at 12:37 am hey all you leftist dummies , you want to lose this county ??? vote dumacrate you lose your freedom , lose all your money , take your life in your own hands with nothing to defend your dumb assses with ??? if this country is so bad than get the hell out . tell me what did socialism do to other countries but completely destroy them . explain your way out of this nick says september 21, 2020 at 10:53 pm godless marxism? haha.. whatever ya #fakechristian niknak says september 22, 2020 at 2:43 pm why does calling marxism “godless” make someone a fake christian? are you a “real” christian, or do you just like throwing names like “fake christian” around? lol, never mind, i already know you’re a christian hater. you guys foam at the mouth with hatred, get hysterical, violent and literally try to physically and mentally control those who disagree with you with violence. the leftists/marxists, etc. can’t be reasoned with, it’s almost like they’re possessed with demons. the pure hatred is astonishing. the leftist ideology wants power and control of everyone’s lives via government. you reject organized religion yet you worship power, control and big government. you have no god, you have a giant void that you try to fill with controlling everyone else’s lives. your religion is government and that is toxic and always leads to economic ruin, misery and death. #fakehuman terra says september 24, 2020 at 8:56 am tell me this then…who did jesus take care of and support in the bible….constantly? when did jesus ever call people losers? when did jesus ever kick the poor when they were already down? when did jesus ever say greed and money is the way to salvation? when did jesus say adultery is awesome and accepted? who were jesus’ friends and confidants? when did jesus say you should idolize anybody but himself? on and on and on…. check your bible. the current republican party walks every which way except with jesus. they use his name to win votes from people like you. they worry more about guns then every single american. that’s another thing. when did jesus tote a gun in the bible? he didn’t! if you’re gonna be a christian follower of jesus then you actually cannot follow the current wh admin at the same time. spence says september 24, 2020 at 3:42 pm he isn’t jesus, now is he? i’ma christian and i know of all that you have cherry picked here. when did jesus approve of fiull term abortions? i could go on and on, but i refuse to throw my pearls before swine. those that have fallen away won’t be able to differentiate what’s right from wrong. that’s more and more evident every single day. liberalism/socialism is a mental illness, plain and simple. steve says september 26, 2020 at 8:15 pm you think the action of jesus was conservative? had his behavior/expectations been conservative, he would have supported status quo of his era telling culture keep current state of affairs to love the kings. his actions were quite radical because his authority challenged the socioeconomic structure that was present in biblical times. it could be argued today that it is conservative to follow the teachings of jesus, because christianity is status quo in many cultures. however for his time, his actions were left of liberal/radical because his authority sought a complete social change that harmed the structure that was currently in power. anonymous says september 26, 2020 at 10:21 pm the only bible verse that mentions a practice like abortion is actually in favor of it. chantel sieh says september 27, 2020 at 5:36 am what is wrong with you are you brain dead? and what is wrong with the person who wrote this letter to the editor.. trump lies,cheats,he is a racist. he lied for goodness sake about a pandemic and you think thats ok? something is wrong with people that cant hear his lies. it is daily listen then go watch again . he doesnt care about you. he doesnt care about america. but he sure has his head up putins russian butt. he cheated in the first election and he tried doing it a second time. please turn the volume up on your tv or hearing aid. he is a con, a flim flam man. he has wasted his time in the presidency causing problems, undoing good things,berates a 16 year old that is concerned about the environment. he doesnt believe the scientists that the climate change is real. he tells the u.s. to inject bleach after not telling us about a pandemic! he is a fake president. he just wants to dictate. he is a crook and a big whiney baby. he has not done any good and is ruining america. lets make america great again and dump trump! jane says september 27, 2020 at 1:54 pm i think you are meaning the opposite! you don’t see republicans out there destroying the country, jesus’ statue and our churches. it’s your democratic thugs. do you think that jesus would approve of all that? you know he wouldn’t. and he would never agree or say what you said. your hatred and anger showing. maybe its time for you to go back to church and ask for forgiveness and peace on earth. ken says september 28, 2020 at 2:05 am you must be speaking to people the dont read the bible or have a personal relationship with jesus. you can fool them,the real jesus is a tough taskmaster. heaven or hell its your choice he will not force himself on you. repent and make him your lord and savior! i saw joe biden on the news one time and the holy sprit spoke these words to me. he had a choice to save americas children (vote on abortion) he choose not so i took his(children). he has the blood of 72 million babies on his hands. anonymous says september 29, 2020 at 4:34 pm you are an absolutely disgusting individual and for your sake i hope you never experience the pain joe biden has in his lifetime. anonymous says september 29, 2020 at 9:59 pm god isn’t real he’s a imaginary fairy from a book calm down soldier american says october 15, 2020 at 7:21 am let’s get one thing straight here. trying to link jesus to a presidential election is nonsense. humans are fallible, thus imperfect. if i’m not mistaken, jesus died for our sins…correct? there is no such thing as human omniscience so let’s not try to compare ourselves to something we are not! if you want to preach about the words of christ, than try your best to live by it. practice more love and compassion for one another if you truly want to try to walk in the footsteps of christ. that being said, i already voted for trump. not because he’s perfect or speaks eloquently, but because he truly believes in our country. he does not possess the invisible handcuffs that puppeteer the past democratic rulers of our country. he tells it how it is. most people don’t want to here the truth, especially, when it’s not so called “pc”. fuck all the sensitive feelings out there that are to soft to swallow the truth. hopefully, at least 51% of the population are not idiots which would re elect trump. this is not a popularity race but rather the most important job on the planet. trump is american! he cares about the future of this country, period. why on earth would he want to listen to another 4 years of democratic whiny, bullshit if he didn’t believe in america. just for the record, i’m a blue collar small business owner that got crushed during the obama administration. somehow, through all the term oil of covid 19, i’ve never been busier in 25 years. is this a fluke? i think not! trump has kept our economy pumping. the dj says it all. any president in the last two decades faced with an unknown pandemic, would have buried our economy. i could write for weeks about the media mongrels and misinformation aimed at the lower aptitude of our society, but i have to go to work! if you read this and don’t know what “working” means, than you definitely don’t know what it is to be a part of this great country. deb says october 17, 2020 at 3:56 pm this right here. thank you for saying exactly what needed to be said. this country is miserable right now because grown adults in the white house are not for the people, they are for themselves. jesus is nothing like any of them. u.s. tax payer says september 23, 2020 at 7:03 am leftists don’t hate america, they hate injustice and corruption and evil selfish males. anonymous says september 24, 2020 at 8:56 am yesss!! chantel sieh says september 27, 2020 at 5:39 am thats right!!!! true!! liberals are dumb says september 27, 2020 at 11:28 am they want to rip apart everything that has ever worked, and replace it with idiotic ideas that the world already knows fail. socialism is a complete fail, read your history and look at the earth, and defunding the police no one has ever been dumb enough to recommend until now, our liberals in the us take the cake for being the home of the wrost ideas the world can come up with. vote biden!!, a senior with alzheimers controlled by radical defund the police, climate hysterics and socialist is going to end well. if you are voting that way you are just mentally checked out on how things actually work. yawn says september 28, 2020 at 10:33 am you need to stop listing to right wing hysteria. you do know what the left in the usa wants already exists in pretty much every first world country on earth? i’m sitting in one right now with my universal healthcare in a state that is fast switching to solar and i can go to college without paying it off for my whole life. country is going great 🙂 the only person who believe the usa is great are right wing americans. the rest of the first world looks on in horror. preston parker says october 26, 2020 at 10:22 pm obama put us 13 trillion dollars in debt, business flew out of america to china, i lost $750,000 in stock while obama ripped of america so china could get rich. obama and biden gave billions to iran, only morons would believe that sand nig  s would keep there word. several terrorist organizations like isis got obama’s funds from iran to terrorize the mid east, many americans lost limbs from bombs hidden in the road by iran. trump put sanctions on iran. trump stopped job from leaving the usa. the illegal aliens that will destroy our environment, we’re going to a.i. and won’t need illegal aliens. real justice says september 23, 2020 at 7:05 am separation of church and state all you evangelical nut jobs like sicko pompeo and sicko pence…. narkulus says september 17, 2020 at 1:48 pm it seems funny reading this in the middle of september after trump lied to the american people about the seriousness of covid, saying behind closed doors in early february that covid was “deadly”, “airborne”, ” and “killed not just the vulnerable”, all while saying in public that it’s a “hoax”, “just like the flu”, and “it’ll go away. then the “losers and suckers”. then the ag comparing “mask wearing” that helps stop the spread to “slavery”. what’s next, shooting people on 5th avenue? all this and all these comments quoting biblical passages, the only biblical passages relevant to all this might be revelations. anonymous says september 17, 2020 at 4:11 pm you are the liar, your head is so far up the demorat plantation owners asses that you chew their food for them. anonymous says september 18, 2020 at 2:38 pm cultist gonna cult. tapes were leaked dude. if you would step back and get out of your brainwashing you’d see that trump doesn’t give a shit about you. he only cares about himself preston parker says october 27, 2020 at 1:24 am trump gave up a great business to be president of the united states, we still have our guns, we’re getting our jobs back from china we’re making europe pay for defense. we’re hammering iran with sanctions and killed isis cowards . no new middles going over japan and south korea. kim says september 19, 2020 at 1:38 am so you’re saying trump didn’t lie to the american public about covid? marge says september 19, 2020 at 5:25 pm let’s see, did he say that covid was sent to us because of an offensive video? no wait, that was the past administrations lie about murders of american citizens unchallenged in order to appease the terrorists. maybe covid was not a real problem as stated by the who adored by the leftists and he chose to trust them and fauci when speaking to us. the leftist media reports what they’re supposed to against our president and never reported any of the lies, schemes and propaganda from the leftist past administration. how sad that some of our citizens are so brainwashed by the lefts “loss of power mania and hatred”. anonymous says september 21, 2020 at 8:32 pm you said it right. they hate trump because he is the only one standing between the radical socialist lefts idiotic agenda against trump and america. the left pays for antifa to tear down america. and they said death to america. you people better open your eyes people there destroying america now. anonymous says september 22, 2020 at 3:02 pm if you read every headline in a newspaper and media   everything is trump’s fault. i believe that the american people should see what the democrats have created, roadblock after roadblock against the president since he has been in office and he still was able to get things done! john says september 23, 2020 at 1:49 pm does fillmore county journal moderate comments at all. some of this is pretty racist content. arthur johnston says september 19, 2020 at 11:42 am he said it in an interview with a reporter who hates him. it was not secret. the hoax was that is was all his fault. kenneth darling says september 20, 2020 at 12:46 am this is what i hear reading this leftist comment : “today on cnn, we have more uncorroborated highly biased “reports” that president trump is a really mean white american man. and also this just in.. “easter worshippers” are evil bible thumpers who still believe in some “god” ” in other words, mr narkulus needs to take his socialist fake news talking points somewhere else. i suggest twitter or someplace where people are incredibly susceptible to be indoctrinated using fascist democrat party tactics. i used to be shocked at how everything seemed to flip inside out in this country, but now i realize this is how the democrat party always felt about america and her citizens they just used to do a fantastic job at lying/hiding their true intentions. when donald john trump and fellow americans blew up their plan to fully sink the greatest nation in the world into the pit of socialism in 2016, these democrats went into panic desperate mode. and when people become panicked they start showing things they normally do a good job hiding. at this point the radical democrats are in full desperate mode and will stop at nothing to take power back and never give it back to the american people. the only reason my heart hurts over all this is from how many “americans” in this country benefit greatly from her yet still want to rip her apart and deny our future generations the prosperity that only a free nation awards. the united states of america is the only true free nation in the world, the world’s last hope! how did so many of us become so stupid and cowards. cowards willing to surrender their freedom to live on their knees rather than die standing for something worth living for! maga 2020 everyone please rise for the playing of our beautiful national anthem: “oh, say! can you see by the dawn’s early light what so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming; whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, o’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? and the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there: oh, say! does that star spangled banner yet wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave? president donald trump : “cause in america we dont worship government, we worship god!” god bless you all, may god have mercy on us all if those anti american leftists get back control of america! trumpdemolishesbiden says september 23, 2020 at 2:43 am he didn’t lie, you stupid indoctrinated troll! let’s go over just a tad tad bit of the covid timeline, if you can handle seeing what a miserable failure you are are lying: jan. 31, 2020   trump imposes travel bans into the us from various countries, especially 🇨🇳 china! got that? ch ch china, you freak.! as soon as he does that, joe blow pedo says, “omg 😳you’re a xenophobe! how dare you?!” a few more of the pathetic losers like pelosi & chuck (probably your idols cuz u have nothing else in your sad, miserable life) call him a few other names too like racist, fascist, the usual accusations! feb. 24, 2020   nancy pelosi (who should’ve been the one to die instead of ruth cuz she’s fucking evil & rotten) goes partying in china town in the san francisco bay area & encourages others to go out and about also! that’s just the beginning….i could go on, but i don’t want to or need to embarrass you anymore! 😩 i wouldn’t want you to soil your little diaper, baby 👶🏼 lefty 🍼! have a nice evening, & remember: 🇺🇸🇺🇸trump2020🇺🇸🇺🇸bitches!🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ kimba says october 6, 2020 at 3:06 am in fact they were so upset when president trump started closing china border and others……..the two idiots schumer and pelosi…..were going to open another investigation,because they were so against it………….if it had been left to the dems our country would have been completely over taken by this virus with no return romero says october 7, 2020 at 6:18 pm i agree with you: since day one after the election victory of president trump it has been a continuous criticism of the president. we should be thankful that he has big shoulders and has endured and fight back. with regard to covid 19 i remember that in january he asked funds to fight the virus. he was rebuked by pelosi and the demo gang. “ what does he knows about covid 19 ! “ fund we’re finally approved the best medications were produced….now the gang accuses the president that he did not act :”he does not care, he should have imposed the mask” why should be up to the president to impose the use of a mask ? if a president could impose … he could impose using condoms to prevent unwanted pregnancies, he could impose wearing specific clothing , etc, etc. don’t be ridiculous you cheater biden ! ask not want your country can do for you ask want you can do for your country. kennedy was correct. let’s not blame , let’s work together! amanda elaine skeen says september 23, 2020 at 9:16 pm i love how you leftists lunatics have absolutely nothing on trump so you have to push lies and hearsay to the forefront of everything. the “losers” and “suckers” garbage that was reported anonymously like most stories from democrats has been debunked countless times by sources not afraid to go on the record. also if you knew anything about being leader instead of a follower you’d know that creating panic in an already bad situation is the absolute worst thing you could do. when people panic they tend to make bad and irrational decisions which only creates more chaos. instead of jumping up and down like an idiot trump took action early on and was said to be “fear mongering” and called “xenophobic”. you liberal idiots hang on to every word and recommendation that comes from fauci so you should maybe listen and process the fact that he said trump did not distort any information to the american people when talking about covid. you liberal parasites should be embarrassed of how utterly pathetic and insane you’re acting. it’s like watching a bunch of toddlers that are throwing ridiculous temper tantrums! #trump2020 becky says september 26, 2020 at 12:27 pm because trump is a liar and a waste of humon skin and so is his familey kimba says october 6, 2020 at 2:59 am i think you need to learn how to spell……before you spread lies wowidiots says october 3, 2020 at 5:49 am nothing on trump? you far right wingers are astounding how blind you are. incredibly stupid and stubborn about it. this isn’t stuff that needs explaining. just fully observe things and you’d see immediately. kimba says october 6, 2020 at 3:00 am thank you…..trump2020 trump2024 jane says september 27, 2020 at 1:56 pm maybe you need to read dr fauci’s comments on that. kimba says october 6, 2020 at 2:39 am wow…..every single quote you said was twisted or debunked…..its like you read every first line……cnn ever spewed and believed it……this is why we have so much division…..the news and media throw these lies out there……and it obviously sticks…..because people like you just keep repeating it like a ” fake news” robot….its downright scary ricky sandefur says september 14, 2020 at 7:03 am why are trump supporters so ignorant? trump 2020 says september 15, 2020 at 12:39 am why are trump haters so hateful, hysterical, violent, and in denial regarding their idealistic, utopian society that was far from present during the obama administration, even with rinos in office allowing him free reign? our economy was poorer than ever, our military weakened, the threat of isis ignored with illegals flooding the country and receiving benefits on legal, tax paying citizen’s dollars, spying and deliberate targeting of conservatives by irs. why was “systemic racism” not addressed then? he had eight full years to deal with that, but special bathrooms for transgenders was evidently more important, and ‘climate change’ a larger threat than muslim extremism. ironically, racism only became a hot button with trump’s election, which by the way, was a direct repudiation of eight full years of abject failure. trump’s election was an unadulterated shout of ‘we are sick of it’ by we the people. and the left is still missing it, with your best offering being poor, creepy, ol’ joe o’biden whose family should be arrested for elder abuse. why did the mueller investigators wipe their phones clean? the same reason hrc did, of course. why do trump haters keep singing ‘imagine’ while burning down cities? delusions on the left abound. your own ignorance is appalling at best. nate a says september 15, 2020 at 1:05 pm preach nancy says september 15, 2020 at 4:55 pm oh my god seriously are you that dumb wowidiots says october 3, 2020 at 5:52 am i know right. how people choose to be this dumb despite everything they somehow manage to ignore that contradicts their beliefs… why in the world would anyone think that’s a good way to be, many for their entire lives. it’s freaking sad and frustrating is what it is. these people bring us all down. joe adams says september 17, 2020 at 11:45 am summed it up perfectly. the lef tknows nothing but what they are told to think no research and no looking for facts. casual observer says september 17, 2020 at 1:21 pm this is straight up agitprop with not too much fact getting in the way… you’ll lose 99% of people at “our economy was poorer than ever…” were you even alive in 2014? jackrabbit says september 17, 2020 at 6:21 pm good article. of course, anyone in their right mind would choose a as the best answer. actually, the only answer. why would anyone want to live under socialism? obviously, too many people. personally, i choose to think on my own and not have anyone, especially the government tell me what i can and cannot do. i’m thinking most of the people that support the socialist narrative are simply….simpleton’s! i do not want my guns taken away by “her!” you know….what’s her name….how could anyone vote for a candidate that supports abortion? abortion is just wrong. i also want to keep my freedom of speech, religion and fly the american flag on my front porch. liberals are wanting to destroy america. they have an ultimate plan for america and it will not be good. god bless america! trump 2020🇺🇸 vote trump 2020🇺🇸 anonymous says september 20, 2020 at 8:23 pm amen larry washingberg says september 24, 2020 at 1:50 am tr catherine piscitelli says september 18, 2020 at 10:24 am what a very true and insightful piece i just read before my comment. i don’t know who you are but please continue to speak out and not allow these radicals to silence you because you are a truth teller and they will do anything and everything to shut you down. the democrats have become increasingly more and more radical. they have become so extreme that my family and i have abandoned the democratic party long ago when hillary clinton was campaigning. she was and still is one of the most corrupt politicians along with joe biden and yet the marxist radical media protects them. their evilness hatred intolerance and dangerous ideology is mind shattering. and yet the corrupt media continues to protect them. my family my friends my co workers also have left the democratic party. some say that we are the silent majority but what we really are is patriotic citizens who love this country and do not want to see it seized by these marxist and radical dangerous democrats who do nothing for the well being of the american people they care only about power greed and absolute control. my voice are the voices of many americans who will not be silenced by the radical dangerous left. our voices will be heard on election day frank sobotka says september 19, 2020 at 10:58 pm imagine thinking ‘muslim extremism’ is a bigger problem than climate change lol kimba says october 6, 2020 at 2:47 am well said……and extremely accurate william says september 16, 2020 at 12:19 am i’m outraged at this man who consorts with america’s enemy putin and receives his help to win the election, has america dying from a virus because he’s too incompetent to protect us, is anti science, says he favors one man rule, has weakened nato our no. 1 organization for us defense, has unnamed federal police using violence on peaceful protestors, has his team committing crimes for which they’re put in prison, then pardons these law breakers. i see this as treason against our constitution and laws by trump and his supposed american supporters. brian says september 16, 2020 at 10:40 pm could you provide some proof? anonymous says september 17, 2020 at 6:26 pm he has no proof whatsoever. anonymous says september 17, 2020 at 9:06 am wow!   are you seriously that misinformed? joe adams says september 17, 2020 at 11:46 am you do know simple searches disprove nearly everyone one of your statements? joemama adams dumb says september 17, 2020 at 5:52 pm lol   you must believe everything you read on the internet rofl jackrabbit says september 17, 2020 at 6:25 pm you’re so wrong in every word you stated. where have you been? stop wasting your time believing the socialist liberals. they will cut you. sue j says september 20, 2020 at 9:24 pm don’t believe what lamestream media tells you to think. biden has been colluding with china and ex eastern block countries for years. the left say trump lies whenever he says something they don’t want to hear. he restricts travel and the left said he was a racist. you know woodward needs money and is trying to sell a book. leaking conversations where trump recognized the pending pandemic made him, nsightful when pelosi was screaming come on down to china town, we are open! stephan bill says september 24, 2020 at 2:03 am putin occupied a territory equal to the size of the world’s 33 smallest states in independent ukraine when obama and biden were building socialism. how much territory did donald trump give putin? so who is putin’s friend really? anonymous says september 27, 2020 at 10:06 pm i don’t think so, when i think of a dictator and violated of liberties and constitutional rightsi think of tim jong walz. preston parker says october 27, 2020 at 1:34 pm trump gave up a great business to be president of the united states, we still have our guns, we’re getting our jobs back from china we’re making europe pay for defense. we’re hammering iran with sanctions and killed isis cowards . no new middles going over japan and south korea. bill says september 16, 2020 at 12:30 am because they’ve lost all trust in fellow americans by constantly listening to the multimillionaires on right wing talk tv&radio. that’s the scam: lose trust in everybody but your favorite conservative radio/tv host who can then sell you books, gold, magic health oil, etc to make him richer. ronl says september 17, 2020 at 8:14 am pwhat is wrong with us americans that wint to military to keep american safe hope they the demrocats know hitler was defeated ron l black stalin says september 19, 2020 at 11:00 pm the soviets defeated hitler typical ignorant american anonymous says september 16, 2020 at 10:48 am the point is what’s best for everyone. anyone who does not like trump usually are worried about personal gain. like the promise off free everything they personally don’t work for. they like getting smoke blown up there ass thinking that china is not a threat and taxing rich is a real thing. liberals are smoke and mirrors politics and people who support them are pretend intellectuals and have no clue what’s really going on. john paul says september 16, 2020 at 2:06 pm “there ass”? and which god do you pray to? joe adams says september 17, 2020 at 11:48 am what does their god have to do with anything? lenni shernov says september 16, 2020 at 7:57 pm otherwise we’d all be brain dead morons like you and all the other idiots kissing democraps asses…..trump for president….now and forever…….when he wins next november and you jerks are eating your hearts out don’t forget the onions!!!!!! ricky sandefur says september 23, 2020 at 9:42 am why are trump supporters such morons like their leader? you can insult the democrats but they are service members and patriots. stop watching the the trump channel and get informed. republicans know they are the minority and try to cheat their way to win and force their views on the majority.. time to vote their asses out. america is awake!! says september 23, 2020 at 12:12 pm ricky do yourself a favor tape a picture trump on your mirror so you see what real man looks like. why don’t put on your big boy pants and get out of your mothers basement and do something with you life!! stop smoking that laced weed. kryptonarie says october 8, 2020 at 2:23 pm a real man: •a real man doesn’t berate people with differing opinions, knowledge, or facts, he instead listens to them, because he may just learn something important he didn’t already know! •a real man doesn’t dictate what people should think, but rather he respectfully educates with truthful facts the misinformed or under educated! •a really man doesn’t bully people with threats, name calling, and slander for speaking out against injustice and wrong doing! •a real man doesn’t belittle people who are different, and he most certainly doesn’t make fun of people with physical imperfections, handicaps, or disabilities! •a real man doesn’t constantly need to tell others how tremendous he and his achievements are to hear their praise! •a real man doesn’t criminalize and hurt poor souls seeking refuge from oppression and abuse! •a real man doesn’t lie, he tells the truth even when it’ll be difficult for others to hear. •a real man isn’t indifferent and without empathy for the loss and deaths people are feeling because of covid 19  whether it’s one life or hundreds of thousands lives, a real man would never say “it is what is”! •a real man doesn’t endanger the safety and wellbeing of others for a self serving ego fix! •a real man doesn’t loudly interrupt others who are speaking, he waits his turn to loudly bluster out contemptuous and disruptive nonsense! •a real man doesn’t paint his face orange and wear lifts in his shoes! •a real man helps others, he doesn’t do underhanded things to disadvantage people to benefit himself! •a real man graciously accepts defeat and honors the peaceful transfer of power  like every other president before him! •a real man is humble and strong, and he does what’s best for everyone and not himself alone! •a real man is patient, he doesn’t threaten a temper tantrum, violence, or a coup if he doesn’t get his way! djt is no example of what a real man is, he’s a power and wealth gormandizer  a wannabe authoritarian parasitic king, one who’s prepared to take the american people’s freedoms (republicans too), dismantle the u.s. constitution, and destroy 215 years of democracy for his own narcissism and greed! anonymous says september 24, 2020 at 9:11 am so many trump supporters constantly start or end their opinions (that’s all they are because everyone else knows that a viable argument/debate is based on actual proofed facts and opinions are not) with name calling and childish bullying like tactics. yeah, because that helps to solidifying their opinion based analysis of the current wh admin. 😂. #goodluckwithyourlife #namecallingbecauseselfdignityisabsent kimba says october 6, 2020 at 2:56 am name calling and bullying…..guess what ” the squad” who runs biden are the biggest name calling,bullying group……..and now biden with no class calls a sitting president “a clown” and tells him ” shut up man” when trump asks him for list of names……please……..the left has truly lost all class….nancy” wicked witch” pelosi calls bill barr a ” blob” and says they put their foot in ” dog poo” what are these people……..5yrs old….. deb says october 17, 2020 at 4:10 pm i’m just tired of them all. i never blindly followed any president. i don’t know a single democrat who had been handed anything, in fact they give people the shirts off their back. i also know good republicans who would do the same. we are never going to get anywhere until we put people in office who actually care about country before party. those of us in the middle trying hard just to live our lives in a positive way are now full of anxiety and are losing hope. listening to some of you angry hateful people makes me believe our days are numbered. far right and far left are destroying this country and the rest of us are paying for iit. bw says august 30, 2023 at 3:07 pm ricky, i never knew that you were dropped on your head when you were born. trumpdemolishesbiden says september 23, 2020 at 2:49 am we’re not ignorant. you’re stupid & do nothing but listen to the lies of cnn & mass media that feed you garbage all day which indoctrinates & kills your brain cells. you have a closed mind & care nothing about the truth cuz you’re a lazy pos wanna be socialist who wants to get everything for free while not working & eating bon bons off of the system all day while you watch jerry springet. so i get why you’re so stupid. too bad you can’t grow the fuck up. if you had any mentality to research, you’d figure out that all biden would do is sell us off to china. he cares nothing about you & kamal toe cares even less. no wonder other countries laugh at americans & call us stupid. it’s cuz of people like you! 🇺🇸🇺🇸trump2020🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️ lynette says october 11, 2020 at 6:17 am no, your so wrong. the rest of the world does not need to watch american news to laugh at you all. we pity you all in shock and horror, that this so called mighty world power is no longer united. you fight and squabble amongst yourselves when you should all be pulling together, especially now, like other countries did, like my country did. political sides were forgotten as we all banded together and we fought and we won together. you americans allow your political views to invade and cloud every thing. this is why the world laughs and pities you all. amanda elaine skeen says september 23, 2020 at 9:25 pm why are biden supporters so deranged and clinically insane? kimba says october 6, 2020 at 2:42 am why are leftists so arrogant and bitter after 3.5 years romero says october 7, 2020 at 6:22 pm the dummy are you , debra barnhardt says september 4, 2020 at 9:13 pm a parable for modern times. i told someone who was complaining about the worthless people on welfare that my mother and i took welfare benefits when my father refused to pay child support and she could not earn enough to support us. i added as you can see i am well educated, law abiding, tax paying citizen who has a good job, owns a home and gives back to the community. he stared at me for five seconds and said, “now about the worthless scum who take welfare….” there are none so blind as those who will not see, none so deaf as those who will not hear.” jesus christ. king james bible, new testament phii says september 6, 2020 at 8:35 am “there’s no fixing stupid” as my american friend says here in australia. some of us see thru the lies more than others. research: tv mind control patent; the deliberate dumbing down of america; silent weapons for quiet wars; the project for a new american century; report from iron mountain; transhumanism… frank says september 15, 2020 at 6:40 am rather than just hitting the bloody nail, mate, you drove it through the material. australia is looking inviting. thanks for the succinct output. trumpdemolishesbiden says september 23, 2020 at 2:57 am absolutely true! obama (one of, if not the worst president in us history) implemented this ridiculous new core curriculum education garbage into our schools to indoctrinate our kids & make them dumber than the past generations (why do you think all these genz kids are fucking idiots who hate america?) thank goodness trump just appointed the 1776 commission to add patriotic education & fix these fucking failing american schools! 🇺🇸🇺🇸trump2020🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️ sharon soto says september 6, 2020 at 7:05 pm welfare is supposed to help out when you need it . it’s not supposed to be a way of life . that’s why so many are bitter .it sounds like your experience was just that   some temporary help . my sister needed help years ago , but also learned how to use a few different computer programs . she was able to get a job and ended her welfare. now we have this culture of entitlement where people think they are owed . my family is hispanic . my sister was able to get a job. welfare shouldn’t be permanent. it ends up keeping people dependent on the government . debra barnhardt says september 9, 2020 at 7:56 pm you missed the point entirely. when someone is so lost in their point of view that they literally cannot see or hear evidence to the contrary then they are simply a bigot. i have had this response over and over again when i confronted conservatives with logic and personal experience. i no longer bother. trump has blood on his hands and so does everyone who supports him and his policies. r daniel king says september 10, 2020 at 7:23 am when you stated, “when someone is so lost in their point of view that they literally cannot see or near evidence to the contrary then they are simply a bigot,” and then follow that with “trump has blood on his hands and so does everyone who supports him and his policies,” you in essence have described yourself as a bigot. and i agree. kag says september 15, 2020 at 12:42 am indeed. jim says september 10, 2020 at 3:01 pm lady, you are the bigot here. the hypocrisy is astounding. anonymous says september 16, 2020 at 9:06 am just dillusional video playing society that grew up to be sooooo stupid! no dang common sense that there’s no need to even talk to them. it’s a waste of our time to reason with no common sense humans walking around saying blah blah blee blee wah wah wah. did anyone see my pacifier? is all they say all day!!!! anonymous says november 27, 2020

fox says september 12, 2020 at 1:45 pm slow your roll there , chick ! i am not a bigot !! you want my point of view or does just your point of view matter . yeah , welfare is supposed to be temporary . tell that to the 80yr old woman living on 600. social security that gets 24.40 a month in food stamps when her neighbor that keeps spitting out children gets 600. a month in stamps !!! or the homeless man that gets …get this… seven dollars and eleven cents a month in food stamps . a month !!! trump’s policy is , if you can work then work !!! i don’t have any blood on my hands , from working two sometimes three jobs ! here’s your quote ‘when someone is so lost in their point of view that they literally cannot see or hear evidence to the contrary then they are simply a bigot.’ that makes you ‘simply a bigot ‘ . black stalin says september 19, 2020 at 11:02 pm trump has never worked a day in his life you rube the real parasites are the rich joe says september 28, 2020 at 11:11 pm some of the wealthiest people in the us are liberal democrats, actually many are. so are those wealthy people evil too? or only wealthy republicans? left wing radicals can never answer that one, doesn,t fit the narrative. deborah henderson says september 13, 2020 at 5:34 pm do you not see the glaring irony when you defacto promote the democrat party that is responsible for decades of actual blood of murdered children? may god have mercy on your soul. john paul says september 16, 2020 at 2:09 pm which “god” debbie? chantel r sieh says september 27, 2020 at 6:06 am is this a republican journal? trump is a fake president a liar ,cheater,racist crook. lets make america great again dump trump. he betrayed the u.s. by not telling us about the pandemic. he told us to inject bleach. he berates a 16 year old greta for being strong advocate for the environment. he doesnt believe in climate changes. he doesnt like something he disregards the facts and makes stuff up. he fires people if they dont agree. just because you are a republican you dont have to vote for a ruthless dictator who wants to be like putin. come on people the children our the future they dont need someone like trump to be their role model. he is demented. he is a negative person. sue j says september 20, 2020 at 9:33 pm his policies like “right to try”, pro life, peace treaties, immigration policies, military and veteran support, police and judicial reform, all designed to save lives. if you don’t know about his good works read his nobel peace prize nominee’s speach. 39 years of american aggression broken by donald j trump. anonymus says september 27, 2020 at 5:54 am yes true! he is a fake president! lets make america great again and dump trump. he is a crook, a liar , a cheater. berates a 16 year old that wants to protect the environment. but he doesnt believe in climate change wow. doesnt tell the american people about a pandemic that he knew about for months. tells the u.s. to inject bleach. come on people wake up he doesnt care about anyone but himself. he just wants the power to dictate. preston parker says october 27, 2020 at 2:07 pm joe biden i a big crook ask andrew bobulinski his business partner in a billion dollar shakedown of china for a pipeline to obama. bobulinski was told by the biden family not to use joe biden’s name on any email. hunter and jim biden called joe biden the chairman or the big man so joe biden’s name would not be used on the biden’s company called the hawks. hunter told jim there company need not show a profit, but there job was to make connections with china officials for favors from biden company the hawk. ukraine vitkor shokin was investigating hunter biden’s company bursima when joe biden said fire shokin or no billions in aid. this is corruption, obama knew everything joe was doing that why obama did not endorse joe,. joe biden lied about attacking ms reade and for some reason the attack is missing thanks to some senators removing it from joes government profile. no one ever said democrats aren’t corrupt. joe biden unmasked general flynn’s phone call to russian ambassador .no one says the obama administration is not corrupt for spying on trump. danielle says september 12, 2020 at 8:27 pm great point. couldn’t agree with you more sharon. it’s understandable though how some people who actually used the system properly (which is rare) feel the need to speak up. trumpdemolishesbiden says september 23, 2020 at 3:04 am yup! they are bitter because they’re gonna have to go back to work soon! these

supporters in kentucky living off welfare and some have lost jobs. nobody wants this pandemic to last forever, the president is the one encouraging people to go maskless and spread this. dead beats are on both sides but there are actual good families starving because they have lost jobs. you trumped call yourselves pro life but poor starving children can just rot. hypocrites all of you,

pleasure to read something as intelligent as this.. its a shame the young people of this country are so narcissistic and would refuse to read it.. trumpdemolishesbiden says september 23, 2020 at 3:09 am they’re sooooo indoctrinated by the left that it’s almost like they’re in a trance! only the mentally strong ones aren’t fixated with being idiots & see beyond the glorification of socialism/communism. 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️trump2020❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸 william says september 16, 2020 at 12:24 am most people on welfare are poor whites. is this person calling whites “scum” because they are on hard times? rocco liogghio says september 2, 2020 at 12:53 pm all politicians are assholes…no doubt about it. but that is a all inclusive claim…all.! that means conservative republicans, liberal democrats…and everyone in between. no politicians are left behind…all…are liars and assholes. next…journalists and media. tv, radio, online, social, printed…etc…all media no exceptions…all liars and assholes. the extremely rich in our country…nay the world…all liars and assholes! social groups that advocate/promote any type of physical or psychological violence against other groups or people they consider inferior or lessor…liars and assholes. i guess what i am saying is…clowns to the left of us jokers to the right…here we are! now open your minds and hearts and lets figure this out for ourselves and not let anyone else talk us into what we actually all know is wrong and self destructive. just sayin… g smooth says september 13, 2020 at 9:21 pm spot on my friend, racism and bigotry will always exist if you’re looking for it. wealth has divided this country more than any single factor. the rich will always look down on those less fortunate regardless of race. equality of opportunity is what we should strive for, not equality of outcome. some people will always do better than others, that’s just the randomness of life. i don’t begrudge those that are monetarily wealthy if they’re good people.. wealth is subjective and valued differently given whats important to that person. tribalisim is inherently natural, most if not all people gravitate to those that resemble themself. that being said i believe america is great because of the diverse backgrounds of all it’s citizens. black stalin says september 19, 2020 at 11:04 pm lol there are no good billionaires, and amerikkka is far from great justice says september 22, 2020 at 1:02 pm and you are a troll. yomamadumberthanbiden says september 23, 2020 at 3:12 am that’s a lie, not all rich look down on people. you both are generalizing about anybody & everybody (politicians. society) & that’s the same as saying “all blacks are thieves”   total democrat morons. sad. wowidiots says october 3, 2020 at 5:55 am i hate that humans like you don’t want to better our species. why in the world not? because you benefit off others’ suffering and don’t care? i don’t get it. anonymous says september 16, 2020 at 8:27 am i couldn’t have said it better myself amen to that this country is in trouble most of the people are just sitting there waiting for the government to bail amount the government that been keeping us under the ground for deck ace people just have no brains call jason whole bunch of sheep running around put a face on a mask taking their cool call bullshit around us and the ones that see it have no power anonymous says september 24, 2020 at 9:18 am you nailed it! openness to learn, grow and work together is being quickly replaced by close mindedness. never will i walk the path of only one party or one type of american but i will walk the path for every american and every party that wants america to grow, persevere and succeed! greg gateley says august 31, 2020 at 3:18 pm battle i would not want to be end. some just do not have a clue. some post from above. then saying to the world, they will end the nra.. if not for the nra fighting for our rights, our guns been gone long ago.. you talking biggest riots american has every seen. then obama having the gall, to say, do not let take your democracy..filling all heads full of pure shit.. that is the last step in taking all gun rights from us, and to dis arm america. that is our democracy.. every foreign soil, knows they cant fuck with an american. we are stocked and loaded… these thugs on street are a disgrace to america. all funded behind the scenes by the democratic party. the media driving it down yall’s stupid butt. blaming on trump. what else yall want for free????????????????????????? no agenda whatsoever. they love putting love in your heart so can rip it out. then have gall speak on all this child care. butt, really want to kill your baby to adjust how they handle childcare. no kid, no worry. but blow smoke up your ass and believe it. kathleen says september 1, 2020 at 4:15 pm awesome! j says september 5, 2020 at 1:35 pm well said. absolutely true! non delusional says september 14, 2020 at 12:01 am you should not be allowed to own a weapon. you do understand that the right to bear arms was created about 244 years ago in a very different time? or did you fail basic high school government. stop using trump’s sick sexual fantasies about president obama to fuel some crazy conspiracy that your phallic extensions will be taken from your tiny hands. oh and greg nobody invited you into their doctors office, so please stop wasting your energy trying to take over someone else’s medical decision, because believe this! you forcing your will is rape in any form! believe it! you take away someone’s choice, it’s rape, a medical procedure is not a life but you are obviously not a medical doctor based on your grammar. i have two sons and they are both from the south and certainly don’t use that ridiculously ignorant conjunction. sadly your children are the future population of idiocracy, likely run by an offspring of drump. gb says september 16, 2020 at 10:00 pm obama got elected, republicans went to work the next day know 4 or 8 years he’d be gone. he has left a path of destruction wide and far. race relations were moved back 50 75 years. he weaponized the fbi to spy on the next president. and this is a man you’re proud of? pretty suck! then there is biden, a criminal. he sold us out to the chinese. made his family filthy, filthy rich. wait till trump wins and you democrats see how dirty he is. and what about harris? another dirt bag imposter. she’s not black. she island american. the only black she’s had in her was willy brown. trump will win, the left will go nuts. more riots, destruction, lives lost because of the lefts inability to deal with reality. bunch of stoners, losers no jobs. this country is going to shit because of the liberals. now live with

2020 at 2:11 pm “butt”? you’re so stupid. mark says february 7, 2023 at 2:34 pm completely correct! vf says august 26, 2020 at 5:21 pm democrats may very well have become the malignant cancer of america. but let’s also keep in mind that the media net hundreds of millions to billions annually to get audiences. so they will air the extremities that ignite people’s emotions, ideologies, concerns and even fears. it is yellow journalism, which sensationalizes such.most americans are in the middle. the media tries to make you think otherwise because there is money to be made doing it. and let’s not forget the media is the government’s venue for propaganda. but that aside, many democrats have really become the bottom of the barrel who parameters seem to sink lower every week. jonathan says august 28, 2020 at 10:46 am greatest truth i’ve read in journalism for quite some time. pish this to the top. get air coverage!!!! help save this country! mya lucero says october 1, 2020 at 1:00 pm democratic communists, they want to steal our money and our country. they want it all and refuse to work hard for it. many are bitter radicals who behave like children and hopeless millennials. they have been purposely dumbed down by communist media and entertainment. they are exploiting the thought process of crybaby  hopeless millennials. instead of getting and education and working hard and being elected into positions power, they want to hijack america. these losers would never be considered into our government. so they chose to deceive us. they beat it into our head! that america is a terrible place. we all know its a lie! those liars are could not survive in cuba, valenzuela and syria without depending on american born rights. i wish we could send them all to valenzuela or cuba forever. i’d love to see them cry and beg for help! these people won’t give up their own freedom, in exchange for starvation and no freedom. they want to bully their way to the top so they can extort every penny from all of us. they would run america into the dirt and blame us for it. america is not perfect nor is any other county. and these communist morons are to evil to realize that. meantime we’re supposed to give up everything, while those in charge fly private jet and live in carbon hog mansions. paul mercy says august 29, 2020 at 8:43 pm you have it exactly right. in fact not to be too comical but instead literal…they should change the name of their party to… demonocratic lies, trickery, devisiveness, sneaky, hypocritical, hateful, indignant, power hungry, scandalous, abborous, abhorrent….etc. etc. i used to be a democrat when i was younger and paid less attention. because i heard they were the party of the people. but as i’ve paid attention to the behaviour and actions of both sides. i’ll be republican till i take my last breath. for years i’ve watched presidential candidates make all these promises any person with even the slightest intellect could reason out that they could never keep their promises and..they never did. then came along trump. amidst daily visceral attacks of every kind and every direction, it literally is promises made promises kept. no other president in the mix, could ever handle the unyielding pressure and accomplish so much. its plain as day and undeniable. and yet they deny it. god bless america and all americans. may god help us in 2024 george myers says september 4, 2020 at 2:56 pm in fact not to be too comical but instead literal…you should change the name of your party to… repugnants god bless america and all americans. may god help us in 2024 j says september 5, 2020 at 2:02 pm the radical left wants a one world government. a lot of their ideas sound good on paper, but the reality is this. they want to take your rights, so when they reveal their true intentions, which is complete global power, you will no longer have a voice to oppose their actions, and if you don’t like what they are doing, they will simply disable the microchip (that they want to implant in all of us to replace physical currency) so you won’t be able to buy food, gas, pay rent, etc. effectively “locking you out” of the system, and you’ll no longer have firearms to to do anything about it. that’s the real globalist agenda. don’t fall for it. it won’t happen overnight, but slowly they will sneak it in little by little until it’s too late to stop it. anonymous says september 6, 2020 at 2:00 pm i pray america will wake up to the truth as j has°!!!!!!!!!!! . ricky sandefur says september 14, 2020 at 6:06 am republicans have no room to talk, they seem to want this dictator trump and are so selfish as not to wear a mask to protect others non delusional says september 14, 2020 at 12:09 am schizophrenia is a real mental health illness and this person seems to exhibit the paranoid form and should seek medical help immediately. black stalin says september 19, 2020 at 11:06 pm lol ok nazi chance says september 26, 2022 at 3:24 pm good lord, america is full of broken people. it’s incredibly depressing. i’d just like to say that democrats aren’t globalists, they’re americans working to make america better. i’m really not sure what the republicans are, other than the party that starts wars all over the globe (maybe they’re globalists?). we need a healthcare system that works, not the garbage we have now. we pay our premiums, and they fail to pay our bills, and that’s not okay. democrats are the only hope we have for getting it sorted out. i also prefer fewer corporate boots on my neck and more freedom, and currently that also means voting for the democrats. they’re just a little less evil. if you weren’t aware, it’s republicans that are obsessed with ids, tracking, and whatnot. look up peter thiel and palantir, and ask yourself how much data he’s collected on you. i guarantee he doesn’t collect it for advertising. aperry says september 15, 2020 at 6:04 am its funny because my view is that republicans have become a cancer on this nation. they refuse to adhere to their own morals in regards to trump. whatever trump says or does is just fine. cause he is the greatest president ever and he will be happy to tell you so. when in reality he is nothing more than a rich entitled narcissistic misogynistic divisive reality tv host who gets off on his own rhetoric. he behaves in ways and says things that if you asked most people would not be acceptable but when he does it… it’s just fine . explain that to me. really. anonymous says august 18, 2020 at 8:46 am wake up america, before the pandemic we had the best economy and lowest unemployment we have had in years. if you go democratic you will lose more than you can imagine. anonymous says august 20, 2020 at 6:42 am we are tired of lying politicians like joe biden!! vote for a non politician president trump to save america from all these violence in portland, seattle, etc!!! george a myers says september 4, 2020 at 3:08 pm we’re certainly not tired of trump’s lies, are we? i don’t imagine you hear them on faux news or rush limbaugh, do you? panteutza says september 6, 2020 at 3:56 am no … we hear it on cnn and read in nyt … many lies that are not corrected even after the facts or proofs. i love how nyt from a prestigious paper became a ‘lie in your face stupid’ paper all while they charge quite a bit for it. but the intellectuals they all buy it an believe it 100%….what a waste of cerebral cells! plus the deprivation that the trump hate brought into their lives in quite pitiful … they profess love and tolerance yet their spiteful words, attacks and actions made them less human and less valuable as a whole … they became a ‘bad odor’ the only true news outlets are:bbc and nhl. anonymous says september 18, 2020 at 12:13 pm national hockey league? d says september 12, 2020 at 1:12 pm you mean the nonpolitican trump who lies continually and incites violence? the one around whom swirls one scandal after another? all politicians lie to some extent, just like most people do to smooth social situations (white lies) or stretch the truth, or omit the truth. trump is one of those people who has taken bald faced lying to a grand new level   btw it’s called gaslighting. he is incredibly corrupt and fundamentally anti democratic. he attracts same, witness all those who have been convicted of crimes already. so much for “hiring all the best people”. one thing about trump   if he says he will try to eliminate the payroll tax (thus defunding social security and medicare) he means it. the gop are so afraid of a tweet that almost all of them will do whatever he wants, and look the other way when he is shown (by republican sponsored investigations as well) to have committed corrupt acts including soliciting and accepting help from the nation’s enemies in order to get elected. yes, you could say that dems also lie, but that is the difference between a pepple and a 20 ton boulder   there’s no comparison. havana on fire says october 1, 2020 at 2:14 pm the left are communists, nothing can possibly be worse than that. not sure why they choose communism over freedom, when none of them have ever lived under communism. antifa, blm and far left, seem to complain the most. the defund the police characters, are the first ones to call the police. which under communism, they could not behave that way. who will they cry to, when the police and the us establishment no longer exists. my family left cuba 25 years, because they were shaking down those who had family living in the us. the regime was looking for ways to extort money sent by our family in america. the regime, hates when citizens have a little extra change, so they find ways to take it from you. bail fees, fines and shakedowns. the castro regime are sick people enjoy the superiority. they love to see people beg for their lives. my uncle went missing from after being arrested and 25 years later, we have no clue to what happened to him. my family had to give up looking for him, or face the same outcome. there is no food in the stores, no restaurants. the little bit of food that is shipped doesn’t last long & the store shelves are filled with the same items, your lucky to get meat because it’s scarce and very expensive. so forget about your favorite snack. or even trying to bake a cake. you have to get creative with the scraps, that you waited 3 hours in a long line for. i don’t think spoiled protestors or antifa rioters would survive. because the real gangsters would strip them of everything they have. those gangsters grew up with nothing, in real oppression and will kill you for a leather belt or a cellphone. we laugh when we see how antifa bully the police. there are no mayors in cuba, to tell the military police to stand down’😂. like in america. instead, the government will round up your entire family and make you disappear, or sanction you and make the entire community shun you, which they will. in a snap, 300 hundred people will chase you out of the community. yelling and shoving you and your kids. forget packing up, they will tear you from your home. ricky sandefur says september 14, 2020 at 6:10 am you are a idiot trump is clearly a politician and every word out of his mouth is a lie. black stalin says september 19, 2020 at 11:06 pm the violence is coming from the pigs, you ignorant moron offthepink says september 21, 2020 at 8:38 pm never trust someone referring to cops as “pigs”. they are either criminals or anarchist criminal sympathizers who blame the police for preventing them from committing crimes. every time that’s been the case. people without criminal records don’t call them “pigs”, just lawless idiots who should be (and have been) locked up. marietta haley says august 21, 2020 at 6:39 pm hyperboly runs rampant in your comments. where do you get all your information about leftists? it all sounds like a conspiratorial plot against liberal or leftists, whatever you call them. why is it that millions of people, democrats and republicans alike, can see right through his lies, which come out of his mouth many, many times on a daily basis. if the truth came and bit him on his substantial rear, he wouldn’t recognize it. he is a bore! the pandemic has just been a nuisance for him. it’s getting in his way. maybe you heard this already. a young woman spoke at the dnc convention about her dad, saying: “my dad was a healthy 65 year old,. “his only pre existing condition was trusting donald trump   and for that he paid with his life.” following trump’s ramblings, he went out without a mask. did i say that trump only cares about himself, not me, not you, except for your $ and your vote. he’s a disgrace as a person and a failure as a president. sponge says august 22, 2020 at 8:28 am much like obama. all about me, me, me non delusional says september 14, 2020 at 12:12 am nobody is talking about obama except for trump because he is obsessed with him. offthepink says september 21, 2020 at 8:41 pm obama shouldn’t even be a factor, yet he refuses to go the hell away! why do democrats keep showing up after their presidency is over?? friggin narcissists. anonymous says august 23, 2020 at 12:05 pm any one that takes medical advice from anyone other than a licensed doctor is a moron . even if he hadn’t said what he did about not wearing masks they would have some other kind of bullshit reason of why this is his fault . im not some die hard trump supporter tbh i did not vote for him . any fool can see that he hasn’t had a fair shot a doing his job ive never seen so many people that want to see there president fail . were all in this together , like it or not . we don’t have to believe the same things but we can at the very least find a middle ground so we can stop treating dems & repubs as if we were bloods & crips . the media is to blame more than anyone . they know damn well that certain stories they put out are going to cause strife & division yet they still put them out . anonymous says august 23, 2020 at 3:47 pm i like what you’re saying here, anonymous. josue says august 27, 2020 at 9:20 pm yeah right! you blindly believe in doctors… good luck with vaccines. keep swallowing all of the cr@p that bill gates through your “licensed doctors” (and experts) give you daily. #covidhoax daniel clement says august 28, 2020 at 9:39 am why not? you blindly believe in donald trump who has proven himself to be a liar many times over and who has zero medical knowledge.. gr savage grsavage says august 29, 2020 at 6:52 am yes the media and quote hollywod have infiltrated by those who would silence all decent. they have been trying to indoctrinate our children from at least the 197os. and dumb down the citizens of our country. check out the changing of histry to promote and expand hate and division. so more and bigger goverment can take over. states rights, lets see, not after george c wallace has any tried to preserve them. no every all citizens should be the same by any law or government. control of what you see or say sounds kind of communist. hate is manufactured and tought. lets treat the the dem/libs like they treat the unborne. legalize “post birth abortion” john says august 30, 2020 at 11:00 pm i have worked in hollywood and in media in other parts of the country. i’m a conservative, as are many others i worked with. the myth of the liberal media is just that, a myth. you won’t believe this, of course, because you’ve never been there yet somehow “know,” right? yet someone must be dumbing down america, because what else could explain the poor spelling and grammar and lack any unity of idea in your post. i mean, when you say this; “hate is manufactured and tought. lets treat the the dem/libs like they treat the unborne. legalize “post birth abortion” you’re making spelling mistakes while simultaneously shooting down your own argument: that hate is manufactured and taught, yet following up by saying that people you disagree with philosophically should be murdered. so are you pro life or not? do you stand for life or think people who disagree with you should be killed? as a conservative, i find your views dangerously on the fringe. george myers says september 4, 2020 at 3:05 pm oooooooh! well spoken. a true devotee of faux news and rush (lol) limbaugh. so profound. ricky sandefur says september 14, 2020 at 6:12 am you clearly have hate for others surely an ignorant trump voter. anonymous says september 2, 2020 at 7:57 am you’re wrong george myers says september 4, 2020 at 3:11 pm and you obviously have the courage of your convictions; don’t you “anonymous” ? anonymous says august 23, 2020 at 12:32 pm oh good grief!! don’t blame your dad’s passing on not wearing a mask. it was his time to go period. the lord gives and the lord takes. non delusional says september 14, 2020 at 12:19 am there is no god, gods, or otherwise, don’t blame life’s mistakes, diseases, etc. on some book of short stories a bunch of men wrote thousands of years ago. most religious people have never read the bible and quote scripture incorrectly. the scientific community isn’t perfect but if you notice, most humans rely on those professionals for medical, weather, food, water, infrastructure, power, etc., so don’t downplay science for a false idol, even your bible taught you that. enterthefray says january 19, 2022 at 12:57 am that’s nonsense. i get all my news from the source himself. you can tune in too! he can be found on wgawd! he’s also got a podcast. i think it’s called ‘come hell or high water.” /s > but truly, i don’t know what it’s going to take to get thru to some of these people. it’s a bit ‘disconcerting’, to say the least! john paul says september 16, 2020 at 2:21 pm anonymous; “the lord”? is that odin or thor or who? mike says august 24, 2020 at 5:47 pm you are a big dummy. trump wants credit for things, yes he does, but it is probably because the msm put a negative spin on everything he ever says or does. if you can’t see that you are delusional. the lady who said her dad died from corona virus from not wearing a mask, doesn’t she know that the masks are supposed to protect others from the wearer, not the opposite. the stupid virus is invisible and from china…. you want to place blame, do it appropriately. mozza says august 24, 2020 at 6:40 pm they are only ‘lies’ if you want them to be…and trumpism, is not an ailment. its a syndrome… concerned american who loves this country says august 28, 2020 at 1:26 am go on youtube and look up the violence and destruction and bullying being carried out in democratic run cities, they don’t care about americans, it’s all political and they are controlling most media to decide the country  wake up, if they think america is so bad why don’t they get out instead of promoting violence on the law abiding citizens who are grateful to be here sharon says september 6, 2020 at 7:15 pm yes! i wish they would leave if they hate the rest of us so much! non delusional says september 14, 2020 at 12:35 am just stop, you sound so idiotic. go take the citizenship test and pass, not with 60% but 100%, then you can stay karen. your not grateful, your privileged, spoiled, and ignorant. you believe in some utopia that doesn’t exist and plug your ears when someone tells you the truth. trump love dictators, sells our country out, kills americans to look good, uses the us treasury as his personal bank, hates each and ever poor person, brown, foreign, and women. he only cares about him. yes, we all must be lying, why? who the f! knows? i’m a registered republican, that thing! is not an american or a republican. he is not responsible for a good economy! it was obama! yes the black man recovered from the 2008 bubble, it took til 2016, that does seem logical, but you will deny it. he (trump) destroyed us! killed us with his covid response; china benefits from his fake hate. they are getting away with all kinds of atrocities, he’s still kissing xi’s ass! putin is his idol, follow the money, and he writes love letters the kim. why can’t you see the traitor he is. mexicans scare you? the wall is a joke! waste of money and we are giving more money to mexico to assist them with covid. he lusts after dictators. you follow him… so you leave. anonymous says august 28, 2020 at 10:36 am the cdc said masks weren’t necessary early on, so did fauci. even today, relying on masks alone won’t prevent you from getting covid. time to get real and stop blaming trump for everything. let’s be adults and stop letting the media control your thoughts. i’m tired of the general accusations toward trump as well. facts please. btw, i chose to wear a mask early on…my choice. just like i choose to get a flu shot every year. i choose not to go to large gatherings. common sense is important and i’m very grateful to have a president that has some too. a one size fits all president will ruin this country. george myers says september 4, 2020 at 3:14 pm and you obviously have the courage of your convictions; don’t you “anonymous” ? elvis says september 5, 2020 at 12:48 pm how do we know that george myer is your real name ? all the crap that is going on is it really safe to use your real name ? one day you might have a nut job pounding on your door. john paul says september 16, 2020 at 2:23 pm where did you see a president with common sense in the last three years, anonymous? gary bailey says august 28, 2020 at 5:55 pm mask do not defend against infection just as a chain link fence cant keep out mosquitoes.lets dont blame it on trump ! george myers says september 4, 2020 at 3:16 pm you should be the rnc spokesman, gary. right on! anonymous says august 31, 2020 at 2:06 pm my doctor and him only gives me medical advice. never a politician. steve r says september 4, 2020 at 12:20 am i’m very sorry for your loss. however., i recall that, early on, the cdc was even saying that masks were not necessary for the general public. there was so much mis information coming from all directions   you cannot single out trump and blame him for your father’s death. they still have no clue whether or not wearing masks is helping me, helping you, or not even helping. panteutza says september 6, 2020 at 4:11 am but of course…haven’t you read the latest report of the cdc? we never had a pandemic….the covid deaths were 6% around less than 15 k. many establishments categorized all the other deaths under covid to help the democrats to have at least one ace or to get funds. i am sorry to put it bluntly but democrats have nothing to show for the last 3.5 years except impeachment based on ‘own’ interpretation, lies and deceit, a costly investigation that was based on a faulty dossier which they were completely aware of, hate and their inability to admit that hilary was defeated … just all around shameful, self center and revengeful behavior. and when i think i used to hate trump in 2016!!! at least i am happy i did not jump on the hate wagon and let the hate eat me alive but i had kept an open mind, watched the actions and arrive to my conclusion on my own with my conscience in the driver seat…yes, i still don’t like his twitter, while his attacks and name calling are less i still find them distasteful but in comparison to the other’s side actions, they seem very pale… now in the new light of the conclusion that the government illegally spied on its citizens under president obama (as snowden kept saying all along), president trump …’what you see is what you get’ personality is less dangerous that the eloquent’s evil, behind the scene actions. anonymous says august 22, 2020 at 3:31 pm yes trump managed to keep the already booming economy obama left him going by throwing 3 trillion dollars worth of freebies to himself and his buddies. that much money thrown at the stock market is like bragging about being able to start a forest fire with only 50,000 gallons of gasoline and a match.  and then bragging about what a skilled boyscout you were to get it going with only 1 match. bush showed his brilliance by attacking the only country that everyone knew hadn’t attached us and then turning his rich buddies loose until once again their bright ideas led us strait into a depression a democrat had to dig them out of. rinse and repeat with trump, and trust me, unless we give him another 3 trillion dollars worth of fuel to throw at his buddies companies he’ll never get this economy going again. republican are magicians who can pull money out of thin air,  and then you look in your wallet and find it empty. anonymous says august 25, 2020 at 10:36 am why didn’t we have the best economy when obama was in office if he was so good. bcbs says august 28, 2020 at 5:51 pm trump doesn’t need any more money and does not take a salary. that argument is so silly. george myers says september 4, 2020 at 3:18 pm silly, silly, silly. ricky sandefur says september 14, 2020 at 6:16 am who the hell are you kidding trump cares about nothing but himself and money he is a sick selfish greedy bastard. anonymous says september 18, 2020 at 8:16 pm let’s see how much you love your country in a fair election after trump loses you republicans will burn it down. watch ! trump loses in landslimo m.p ml enterthefray says january 19, 2022 at 1:08 am i hear ya. you must have freaked on jan 6th. you knew. many of us did. but just like my shock at how many voted for this jackal in 2016, i didn’t think he’d go straight at pence and the house like he did. that’s the sign of a desperate man. “somebody” owes some very dangerous people a lot of money. jim says september 5, 2020 at 7:00 pm what about the 19 trillion obama utilized. hmmm, and it was stagnant, nothing happened, unless you want to count his bank account and scandals ( fast and furious) oh and his sexual scandals too where his accuser died. (questionable) and a man he was familar with in chicago and used drugs with. so much more………. bryce says august 24, 2020 at 10:52 am remember, trump is the same guy who openly envied a commie dictator for his dictatorial powers. patriots reject fascism. https://www.latimes.com/politics/la na pol trump kim values 20180615 story.html ken says august 24, 2020 at 12:53 pm do you have the link to fox news interview as stated in la times article to find out what he actually said? its no secret that la times hates trump. george myers says september 4, 2020 at 3:19 pm omg! ricky sandefur says september 14, 2020 at 6:18 am fox news that is really funny you mean trump tv. c payne says august 11, 2020 at 2:35 pm usa christian america, the evangelical right and president trump, is like the biblical last king of judah, zedekiah. zedekiah listened to his political (religious) prophets and ignored what god’s prophet jeremiah warned him of concerning bad pagan babylon. and just like you republicans who tell the democrats to leave their country because of your religious politics, jeremiah was forced to leave judah in fear for his life. but what happened? jerusalem and its temple destroyed, and what was left of zedekiah and his righteous were taken captive to babylon. bill says august 12, 2020 at 9:15 pm keep your religion tales to yourself, nobody cares guy. this is a serious discussion. jeremiah wont stand up from the dead and help settle this election you clown anonymous says august 17, 2020 at 8:23 pm your comment is so disrespectful; everyone had a right to their opinion, thank you. and can the name calling pal❗ joe adams says september 17, 2020 at 12:01 pm if you noticed thats ll the left have. read through these comments when a person from the left is writing its all outragoues accusations and name calling. no facts, evidence, per emotion and name calling cindy says august 6, 2020 at 11:09 am well the people from the left side just are mad cause there can’t push trump around so there have to dig in his passed well dig in to biden and see what you come up with that is all i have,to leave wake up america! says august 6, 2020 at 8:54 am to anyone reading: this entire article is trump/republican propaganda. ask yourself… is the american military socialism? everything is provided for you in addition to a monthly salary. by the whole “democrats are marxist/socialists!” argument, you completely overlook the biggest example of socialism in america. who funds it more? yup! republicans! but the real question is: why is socialism such a threat to you? kenneth darling says august 7, 2020 at 12:01 am except you have everything twisted, but then again you have a perverted view of reality that clowds your authoritarian mindset. the fact you bring up the american military as any kind of socialist system doesn’t make anyone mad… it makes them incredibly saddened. your ignorance is just astounding. you are apart of the belief system that worships government as god… you somehow think that government creates wealth.. you along with all the other really stupid leftists think the government earns the money it spends all by itself… you obviously slept in civics and free enterprise or any other capitalism class you may have taken when you weren’t attending your underwater lesbian basketweaving major.. any dollar that is thankfully put into military is the tax payer dollar so you did have one thing correct. republicans always adds more funding to the military because we care more about the men and women who wilfully and who volunteers their lives to protect yours. so while you sit down in your moms basement as a keyboard warrior cancel culture idiot marxist, they are risking their lives. as you struggle under the weight of your victimhood mentality to run away from every hardship you face, they run towards every conflict, they run towards gunfire, grenades and death… i think they should have a reasonable amount of anything they want when they come back to this weird new ungrateful feministic surrender for peace nation we call america. its really funny because republicans raise military spending every time, while also lowering taxes from the american people…. while demoncrats raise taxes from the american people, while also lowering military spending…. hmm its because democrats have been taken over by this radical left wing anti semitic anti liberal anti american china sucking authoritarians. they have abandoned all reality for feelings of grandeur. they use tactics invented by some of the most evil people to ever walk the earth, satan included. adolf hitler, stalin, mao, castro, maduro, lenin, fdr and mussolini all fall under leftism and socialism at the cost of millions of lives. it’s no shock really. the democratic party has always been headed by some of the worst americans in our short history. the democratic party was and still is the party of racism, violence, elitism, hypocrisy and worst of all slavery. using indoctrination in the education system and leftist propaganda in the media, both tactics perfected in nazi germany, they have really dug in and almost ruined america for good. thank god for president donald john trump! we can have the good america back, the pre obama america can be restored and greater especially for african americans, latinos, asians at same time if we allow president trump another 4 years and republicans presidency for a while after trump atleast until the democratic party fixes itself and their extremism is adjusted to a reasonable middle left as they have had to do previously when the nutjobs have forced control. anonymous says august 12, 2020 at 1:28 pm yes! put perfectly! tammy says august 18, 2020 at 7:49 pm beautifully written! well said! wow says august 12, 2020 at 9:20 pm @ “wake up america!” sounds like you struggled to finish high school. be quiet before you further embarrass your self sharon says august 17, 2020 at 12:29 am wow! you hit the nail on the head!!! never heard it said better!! thank you! my 84 year old dead beat dad and his 76 year old wife with an eigth grade education, are absolute socialists and constantly expecting the government to take care of everyone! they are so clueless, but think anyone who disagrees with them is a “fundamentalist fascist”. haha. anonymous says august 29, 2020 at 7:35 pm your 100% right anonymous says october 26, 2020 at 3:12 pm *you’re george myers says september 4, 2020 at 3:27 pm republicans start the wars, profit from the wars, and very few fight the wars. they value the working class for cannon fodder, paying the bulk of the taxes to run this “democracy”, and their votes (if they can con them). and yes i served in the military. wars are a great source of revenue to the upper class, but let’s let the working class carry the load. that’s what they’re good for, right? dennis richardson says september 29, 2020 at 11:14 pm wilson, roosevelt, truman, johnson were democrats, bush’s foreign policy made him a democrat in reality. you are no history student. m. freeman says may 16, 2022 at 9:51 pm isn’t that ironic? reading your comment two years later and look who pushed for the war in ukraine. who fueled the fire to make it happen. who was in office when putin decided to invade? that’s right. democrats. joe biden and the democrats. so again, who did you say starts wars? lol 68% of republicans would fight for their country compared to only 40% of democrats. republicans enlisting in the military outnumber democrats 2 to 1. your statement that very few republicans fight in wars is simply false. but what else would we expect from a democrat? truth? i think not. keep lying to yourself but stop lying to others. ricky sandefur says september 14, 2020 at 6:28 am what is wrong with you fear mongering hateful republicans democrats are patriots and serve their country. republicans seem to think only they have a right to their opinions you seem to think trump is some sort of macho man, when the truth is he cannot stand his own supporters and uses them to steal from america. eddie swiney says august 22, 2020 at 9:22 pm commie bastard gr savage grsavage says august 29, 2020 at 6:25 am socialism is a threat to the freedoms that so many real americans have fought and died for from the beginning of this great country. nobody is in a hurry to move to any socialist country, rather they want what we have hear in the usa. yes that means the rights we have like speach, vote, religion, assembly. but leftest would silence all that don’t agree with their agenda. that is why the leftest media and “protesters” try to talk over and drowned out all that are unaccepting of their views. all that is wrong with this great country can’t stop others from wanting to come hear by any means even illegaly. stop trying to stop freedom and embrace the ones we still have. no one left england for the new world in hopes building a nation with no god and less freedom. sorry for your loss. preston parker says october 26, 2020 at 10:37 pm gr your right socialist have failed everywhere it has been tried, have you ever seen an american fill up his ten horse power outboard with gas in a plastic gas can and set out from usa to cuba or venezuela so they can get socialism? the up side of escaping into these country’s is you get to eat out of the back of a garbage truck. anonymous says august 30, 2020 at 6:19 am no the military isnt socialism… you have a choice to join. honestly a little socialism may help america out. let’s grab up all them liberals and force them and their children to serve in the military like a lot of other countries. maybe they could learn a little respect for others. trump 2020. mya lucero says august 5, 2020 at 6:41 pm democratic communists, they want to steal our money and our country. they want it all and refuse to work hard for it. many are bitter radicals who behave like children and hopeless millennials. they have been purposely dumbed down by communist media and entertainment. they are exploiting the thought process of crybaby  hapless millennials. instead of getting and education and working hard and being elected into positions power, they want to hijack america. these losers would never be considered into our government. so they chose to deceive us. they beat it into our head! that america is a terrible place. we all know its a lie! those liars are could not survive in cuba, valenzuela and syria without depending on american born rights. i wish we could send them all to valenzuela or cuba forever. i’d love to see them cry and beg for help! these people won’t give up their own freedom to in exchange of starvation and no freedom. they want to bully their way to the top so they can extort every penny from all of us. they would run america into the dirt and blame us for it. america is not perfect nor is any other county. and these communist morons are to evil to realize it. these people are mini hitlers, whom should never be in power. thr says august 25, 2020 at 3:12 pm well said. they do not deserve to live in this country. people who disrespect our privilege life in america need to be deported! deb says october 18, 2020 at 9:40 am wow. no this is the anyone who does not like trump must be deported idiocy his supporters use on a daily basis. my dad fought in vietnam and we grew up learning to respect the military but never would he or any of his military family would ever speak the way you are now. the republican party he respected is gone, but he does not care for the far left either. so your stance is you either vote for a narcissist or be deported. i don’t know any middle of the road democrat who wants socialism. they just want the crooked government on both sides to pay taxes and stop giving huge breaks to people who have more money than they could ever spend. country before party is what most of you are not doing in this thread. just keep bashing each other with ridiculous conspiracy theories while you decide who the heck you think deserves to live here. nobody on either side owns this country. selfish bunch of people who care nothing about anyone but themselves. real americans who do love this country agree that both sides arguing with each other make two year olds seem more mature. do you really want a country where just one side gets to make all the decisions? that would be a dictatorship. now stop acting like angry bitter people and actually maybe listen to the people who are tired of all of you. david says august 2, 2020 at 5:17 am all i can do is answer that question for myself. i hate america’s corrupt government that is bought and paid for by the wealthiest oligarchs. i hate a president that has told 20,000 lies and only in it for himself, enriching himself with taxpayer and foreign money at his properties. he won’t even confront putin on hits on our troops. i hate that 150,000 americans have died from coronavirus because it has been so bungled at the federal level. no other country is close to the number dead. i hate we have to fight disinformation and conspiracy theories and the source of truth are called fake news because the us is stupid (#31 on the list of countries iq levels). i hate the how many racist people live here. i hate that half our government to bought and paid for by the nra and another 35,000 people die from gun violence a day. i hate that our government is so ineffective and corrupt we still don’t have a healthcare system that works. i hate that we spend more money in defense than the other top 11 countries combined and for what? schools are broke, infrastructures falling apart and we have arts are defunded. i hate that other countries now pity us and our inability to get the virus under control and they see the lies we are constantly being told by the president. i hate that america doesn’t believe in science and we refuse to change to save the planet from climate change. i hate the way we treat immigrant families, caging children. i hate not being proud of my country. anonymous says august 3, 2020 at 3:26 pm your reply saddens me because you are a hater and there are so many of you. you say things like trump has told 20,000 lies which is such a falsehood. you are so misinformed by the msm which is owned by marxist who take hold of weak minds and feed them lies so they will vote like you. you and people like you will be the end of america and you will replace it with pure evil and you will yearn for the america of today. i feel sad because you have convinced yourself that what you say is true and cannot see through the real liars, socialists and oligarchs. the oligarchs own cnn, msnbc, nbc, abc, google, facebook, amazon, washington dc. walk up and think critically and be wise because you are being used by the true oligarchs who are counting on you not thinking for yourself and to blindly believe their blatant lies. i hope you and people like you will wake up and see truth. thomas giboney says august 6, 2020 at 8:43 am you are a russian troll spreading misinformation. trump is evil, along with most republicans. that is the truth. maja nowakowski says august 11, 2020 at 7:30 pm now, if they were a so called “russian troll,” they would not have a republican standpoint. after all republicans are not communists and don’t have that kinda of ideological standpoint. what you say is not the truth, but put simply, an unfactual opinion of yours. cindy says august 6, 2020 at 11:08 am well the people from the left side just are mad cause there can’t push trump around so there have to dig in his passed well dig in to biden and see what you come up with that is all i have,to leave anonymous says august 11, 2020 at 10:53 am amen !!! ricky sandefur says september 14, 2020 at 6:36 am sorry to tell you but you are the one that is misinformed. democrats are not communist that is a lie. just because they see trump for what he is a liar and a cheat. it is all on tape stop watching trump tv. many democrats are serving their country and are ashamed of the behavior of trump. edward winner says january 7, 2021 at 8:30 am talking about the fire calling the kettle hot. if the democrats are not communists, then explain about joe biden and his son hunter’s dealings in china. joe himself stated during his campaign that he wanted to make china great again. what about america. and as far as serving their country, i think the democrats “cheated” their country in the 2020 election. i don’t believe for a second that the guy who lowered our taxes and built the strongest economy in recent history just lost the presidency to a guy who promised to raise our taxes and lock down the economy again. do you really think these two messages are equal? of course not. joe biden ran the worst campaign in history. i mean, the guy barely got out of his basement, and struggled to put a sentence together. this is the person whose son is under investigation for what we believe is money laundering and couldn’t even get endorsed by his own predecessor until the last minute, somehow got more votes than barack obama did in 2012. i’m highly skeptical and you should be too on the allegations of dead people voting. he stated that they have reported more than 3,000 people in just nevada for criminal charges for voting there despite not being current residents. and those are the ones we know about. there are huge alleged in consistencies and the number of votes tallied in the middle of the night in pennsylvania, michigan, and other states and statistical improbabilities going to joe biden and not for donald trump. pretty much all the errors go to joe biden. and what’s worse is that in many cases republican poll walkers were barred from even entering to observe; even after a judge’s order told them they could. in michigan, there were reports that say 6,000 votes were switched back to trump after a quote glitch was found. and that same software is also used in 47 other counties. and now we are learning about the smartmatic and dominion systems. so yeah, i’m suspicious. what’s even more odd, is that the democratic strongholds that are the last ones to be counted under democratic mayors and judges, and in most cases   governors. i watched these same idiot liberals burn down their own cities after they became irate over the fact that trump was elected in 2016. and now after calling trump supporters racist bigoted homophobic islamophobic deplorable uneducated groups, they want all trump supporters to just turn around and except that joe biden won in a fair election. fat chance of that happening with me. who is the lair and cheat now, ricky? chance says september 26, 2022 at 3:07 pm democrats are capitalist and i’m not sure what republicans are, but neither are communist. trump’s economy wasn’t particularly good, he had low interest rates and his tax policy led to stock buybacks, but still he managed to destroy everything by 2019 with his trade wars. if not for massive covid spending he’d be remembered for the damage he’d done to farmers, the steel and aluminum industries, and manufacturing. he was a disaster. in his 4 years in office, i did not meet a single trump supporter. not one, and i’m in georgia. suggesting biden had to cheat to win in 2020 is asinine. trump was voted one of the worst presidents in us history while he was still in office. all biden had to do was show up and he was guaranteed a win. you might ask yourself how trump managed 74 million votes as the most hated president of the last 50 years, because there is actual evidence of cheating on trump’s side, and very little on biden’s i hope you find peace, because the world will never bend to your will. reality always wins. dave says august 7, 2020 at 8:47 pm all i have to say to you, and any other person that can’t stand this beautiful, god loving, gun toting, bacon eating, beer drinking, english speaking, land of the free because of the brave place we call america is… get the f out!!! we don’t need you, or your snowflake, millennial, craybady, do nothing and expect everything handed to you, worthless leeches on society in this amazing usa. seriously, i’m sure every red, white, and blue bleeding american will gladly chip in, and even help you pack just to see you get on that plane and head elsewhere. we don’t need people bringing down this country and trying to turn it into something it’s not. usa became #1 in a short couple hundred years, most other countries have been around for thousands of years and still can’t get their $#!& together… that means we are doing something right. and president trump is bringing our country back after obama ran us into the ground. like i said earlier, if you really think it’s that bad here, feel free to leave, trust me, no one is stopping you. and ps… thank you to all of the military, past and present, for keeping this great land free and safe from the terrors outside and inside of our great nation. god bless america millennial mom says august 12, 2020 at 6:57 pm here here!! barbara says august 10, 2020 at 5:32 pm i hate that you hate the greatest country in the world. name one country that surpasses us. everything you say is distorted   remember when trump wanted to dictate what was to be done   but no   everyone : media, democrats, republicans   said it was a local issue and upto the local governments. the media is democratic propaganda   they falsify hate crimes, and mainly report only part of the news and don’t cover anything that would praise trump or discredit do nothing democrats. i was never a gun lover   but after seeing the couple forced to defend their home against so called protesters advancing on their property and verbally threatening them   i have changed my mind. defund police   well i guess we will all need guns. as for defense   you better believe we need a strong defense   everyone in the world wants what we have so we need to be able to defend it. and we defend most of the free world too. if we don;t spend   you may as well start studying chinese or russian. as for the virus   you should be very angry   angry at the ccp   the communist china who unleashed this on the world. america believes in science but we reserve the right to challenge it cause they are often wrong   and we are not sheep. and you don;t have a country if you have no borders. imagine there is limited water and you and your family are patiently waiting in line for hours   but then someone just cuts the line with no legitimate claim to that water   how would you feel? well illegal immigrants are doing just that. and you have stupid judges and policies that mandate that you must separate children cause you can’t detain families more than x days instead of extending x. we give the parents the choice   be separated or just go back   if they were good parents they should just go back and wait at the port of entry. but you don’t believe people should be accountable for their own actions. frightened kid says august 12, 2020 at 8:12 pm you know, the way they were able to brainwash the germans in wwi was by dehumanizing language in their schools and lecture halls. that’s where it started. this was all possible by a people who did not believe in “absolutes.” everything is relative, even morality. exterminating the “fetus” on the inside of the mother’s skin  championing women’s rights! what kind of society could argue away the mass murder of its own infants as a woman’s empowerment tool !? “my body my choice” ?! oh yes, women everywhere are elevated by the slaughtering of the most powerless humans who should be protected by the law, as much if not more than any other citizen in america. notice the language is always dehumanizing. it’s not a baby, it’s a fetus. during the holocaust, nazis referred to jews as rats. hutus, involved in the rwanda genocide, called tootsies “cockroaches.” “when people dehumanize others, they actually conceive of them as subhuman creatures, says smith. only then can the process “liberate aggression and exclude the target of aggression from the moral community.“ to dehumanize a person or people is to literally see them as lower than human, “a soulless animal or creature.” with that in mind, listen to the words the democratic party uses to describe the president of the united states: “pond scum,” a “human turd,” “toxic sludge,” a “sebaceous cyst,” an “infectious microbe,” “mountain of rotting whale blubber,” “bursting landfill of municipal waste,” a “walking staph infection.” all these are from family friendly publications… if you have any kind of social media, you see the hatred and vitriol spewed out daily. yes, the president has done his share of name calling, but it is not being indoctrinated into our youth. plus can you compare “lil marco, pocahontas or crooked hillary” to the *dehumanizing* language that our kids are hearing from celebrities and news outlets alike? general patton was essential in wwi, you know, the way they were able to brainwash the germans in wwi was by dehumanizing language in their schools and lecture halls. that’s where it started. this was all possible by a people who did not believe in “absolutes.” everything is relative, even morality. exterminating the “fetus” on the inside of the mother’s skin  championing women’s rights! what kind of society could argue away the mass murder of its own infants as a woman’s empowerment tool !? “my body my choice” ?! oh yes, women everywhere are elevated

turd,” “toxic sludge,” a “bursting landfill of municipal waste,” “walking staph infection,” “blob of decaying whale blubber.” that’s just from family friendly publications. it’s impossible to miss the hatred and vitriol spewing out of the mouths of everyone from celebrities to new journalists/broadcasters to literal children on tik tok and instagram. these kids who know nothing hate with absolutely everything. why? leftist propaganda, controlling our media… it’s downright scary for a young person to admit to being a republican or to even question why exactly trump is going down as the most hated president in history. try it, you will attacked! especially if you aren’t white, then it’s okay for the color of your skin to be used to judge you. and let me just address, i know that the president has done his fair share of name calling. i just can’t seem to find the same cruel dehumanizing tactic in the names “crooked hillary,” “pocahontas,” or “angry democrats.” lastly, if we have learned anything about general patton, it’s that we needed him for the job on the beaches of normandy in wwii. as it is, he is remembered as being bold, brash, and intemperate in manner. does that disqualify him for the job? does that take away from his heroic efforts? sometimes it takes a certain personality to get things done. i, too, am scared for the future. i feel alone because no one else my age seems to be able to see past their phone… or even into their phone, past social media celebs bashing trump and blaming him for everything wrong in the world as if racism just happened overnight and he invented the coronavirus. same kid as before says august 12, 2020 at 8:17 pm my comment kept deleting and it took me an hour to rewrite it only to see it was still there. i wrote it in another app and posted it here. 🙁 it deleted the second “i” in wwii when i originally started my point about patton and then pasted my whole post over again. sorry about that 🙂 mw says april 11, 2021 at 5:56 am me to truth burst there there smelly bubbles oh how i like all them wicked feeling smell of smoke and dead with ptsd & spit on there serpent breath for my lord almighty god who send me my mother lord almighty will put there evil wicked owners back to them like in all the evil filthy churches & religion media eli in satan belly in the pit of hell in the my lord almighty god holyghost name finish done🤲🙏 scott hutchins says september 18, 2021 at 10:22 am y9ou right wing clowns support “states’ rights” only when it suits your interests. when it doesn’t, you scream and complain and get it shut down like california emission laws. d smith says august 12, 2020 at 1:44 pm obviously you have been brainwashed by the bias left corrupt media! everything you have said is a lie! try researching the truth, turn off the main stream media bs and work towards finding out what this president has really done. hate him too much? only because the media and the hateful left have fed you full of this for so long, you believe it. they have done a great job sending their corrupt messages to oust one of the best president’s in history. that is the very sad part; i know way too many lazy ass democrats that complain about our president while not knowing a thiing about him or his successful changes in this country. to say he botched the coronovirus response really proves you have no knowledge of anything that he has done. we have the best testing and a very low mortality rate compared to other countries. we have therapies (except hydroxychloroquine which was stopped by greedy big phama and trump haters) he has a vaccine in third phase of testing due to his “operation warp speed” and continues to monitor this virus daily. you are an idiot. wasting my time trying to tell you what a great president he is….you won’t do any work to find out this truth. he is a patriot, what are you? you are a whiner that thinks the world should coddle you instead of you working to help yourself and your country. why do you think the left hate him? because he stands for the country and our freedom and the left wants socialism, globalism and probably even communism . are you reading the other comments? go ahead and fact check. go to the while house website and review his accomplishments for our black, asian and latino communities as well as women and veterans. this is only the beginning. the media is only broadcasting hate and lies about this president. some of america is smart enough to do the work to find out why he is hated. he wants to drain the swamp of far left corruption and the dismantling of america and our way of life. get a clue! millennial mom says august 12, 2020 at 7:02 pm great points! marilynn says august 19, 2020 at 10:55 pm if you hate our country so much you are welcome to leave any time. please go, maybe you can start a go fund me page and people will contribute so you can buy your one way airline ticket. you do realize that in a lot of countries you get punished for saying the things you said in your post. so freedom of speech is another thing to hate in this country. i will pray for you. you are a sad sad person. kristie a. little says august 20, 2020 at 2:52 pm now that’s propagandists kat b says august 23, 2020 at 4:59 am why don’t you leave america if you hate it so much? by the way,putting children in cages was obama’s policy. goodbye pinko. don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. jon says august 23, 2020 at 2:11 pm the policy was created by obama for legitimate trafficking cases. the process of separating families and putting everyone in cages? that was trump. anonymous says august 28, 2020 at 8:36 am obama used an unconstitutional executive order to sign daca into effect which further derailed our immigration policy and enabled illegal migrants under the age of 18 to come here consequence free and never face deportation, this is just one of the countless examples of democrat incompetence that resulted in our massive illegal immigration problems. trump is now tasked with solving decades of democrat incompetence and the gall and hypocrisy these democrats have proves that they believe their own voterbase is dumb as rocks. trump has been in politics for 4 years now and i have heard him blamed for everything in the book, it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s blamed for cancer, the democrats deflect their own stink onto trump and the republican party and their stupid voterbase is always eager to waft the democrat farts. james longeran says august 28, 2020 at 8:51 am obama used an unconstitutional executive order to sign daca into effect which further derailed our immigration policies. daca allowed all illegal migrants under the age of 18 to come here consequence free because our immigration laws could not be enforced against them. this is only 1 of the many problems the do nothing democrats caused by ignoring our borders. now some of the illegals that have been here a long time because of daca ended up having kids and now trump is left to deal with the entire mess. the democrat incompetence when it comes to our borders has been going on for several decades now so blaming trump who has only been in politics for 4 years for democrat incompetence that spans decades is absolutely absurd. the democrats have been deflecting their own stink onto trump and the republican party for the last 4 years and there’s always a constant supply of liberals who will waft democrat farts and eat the shit right up. they must think you guys are pretty damn stupid because the shear gall and hypocrisy these liberals have is unbelievable, it’s almost like it’s right in your face but they think you’re too dumb to figure it out. they must believe their audience is a bunch of braindead indoctrinated college kids who live in an echochamber of wokeness. gr savage grsavage says august 29, 2020 at 6:30 am at least you admit that you hate. that should be a starting point for your recovery, that is that “you” are part of the biggest problem here and around the globe. shannon says september 18, 2020 at 5:43 am david go live in any other country you choose. take your hate with you. anonymous says august 9, 2022 at 12:51 pm i hate the way your weasel tastes . preston parker says october 26, 2020 at 10:42 pm description political coorruption or malpolitics is the use of powers by government officials or their network contacts for illegitimate private gain. forms of corruption vary, but can include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, parochialism, patronage, influence peddling, graft, and embezzlement. joe biden corruption 1: joe had vitktor shokin fired because, “ biden said fire vitkor or no aid in the form of two billion dollars in aid. ukraine say the official, viktor shokin, was ousted because he was investigating corruption hunter biden served on the board of burisma holdings, a major ukrainian natural gas producer, from 2014 to 2019. serious challenge: a series of criminal investigations launched by vitkor shokin against its owner, mykola zlochevsky, a multimillionaire former minister of ecology and natural resources. the allegations concern tax violations, money laundering and licences given to burisma during the period where zlochevsky was a minister. 2: hunter biden did not speak russian. hunter biden had no gas transmission experience. hunter biden did not have storage field experience. hunter biden had a drug and marijuana substance abuse problem. how did he pass a drug test that all gas companies give employees before they start to work? hunter biden received $100,000 a month while he worked at burisma yet lived in los angeles, in a $8,000 a month apartment, and all he did was walk to the mail box and got a check from burisma gas company. investigators in ukraine think that some of the money was laundered to hunter biden in fake bank accounts and so called loans to hunter biden. 3: china corruption hunter biden robert hunter biden, vice president joe biden son. he is a founding partner of rosemont seneca partners, an investment and advisory firm, in china. hunter biden’s efforts to make money in china while his father oversaw u.s. china policy have caused concern since the author peter schweizer highlighted the issue earlier this year in his new book “profiles in corruption.” (schweizer first exposed the biden connection to the avic henniges, hunter biden’s connection with the peoples republic of china military. hunter biden‘s job is to find trade secrets buy companies and give the secrets to the chinese military. hunter biden’s bhr fund also made an investment in 2014 in the china general nuclear power corp., china’s largest nuclear power company. in 2016, the company was charged along with a nuclear engineer named szuhsiung “allen” ho for conspiring to help china illegally obtain “sensitive and controlled” nuclear technology from within the united states. ho, a naturalized american citizen, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years in prison. “the jet fighter and the aircraft carriers that china deploys to threaten the south china seas can be traced back to financial transactions involving hunter biden’s companies,” bhr partners (bohai harvest rst (shanghai) equity investment fund management co., ltd.) is a private investment fund founded in 2013 by chinese and american partners to make investments . network contacts for illegitimate private gain. forms of corruption vary, but can include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, parochialism, patronage, influence peddling, graft, and embezzlement. these are examples of corruption by joe biden. james biden. james b. biden joins hill international subsidiary as executive vice president. james was not an engineer he was not a construction man he had no knowledge of the construction business that he was a vice president in a company the only thing he had was his brother joe biden could get the company money and contracts by the government in the billions of dollars and this is way james biden worked at hill construction company. james biden joined a construction firm as an executive, the firm received a contract worth more than a billion dollars to build houses in iraq while joe oversaw the u.s. led occupation of that country. along the way, james partnered with his nephew hunter, the younger of joe’s two sons. a graduate of georgetown university and yale law school, hunter, 49, has struggled with substance abuse while hopscotching between endeavors in law, business and politics. frank biden was in charge of installing solar panels in puerto rico and in the virgin islands. frank biden had no knowledge of electricity he was not an engineer and went asked did he understand ohms law he said i think it’s a speeding zone in puerto rico ohms law is what you use to read current voltage and amperage. frank biden had no knowledge of electricity or construction of power substations at all yet he was the one in charge of putting up these solar panels in puerto rico the only thing he had was his brother was vice president and could pay for the job that frank was doing. i think this is called cronyism. n late march 2009, vice president joe biden landed in costa rica aboard air force two, and went to the costa rican presidential palace for a one on one with president oscar arias. the biden visit had symbolic significance. the last time a high ranking american official had visited the country was back in 1997, when bill clinton had come. joe biden’s trip to costa rica came at a fortuitous time for his brother frank, who was busy working deals in the country. just months after vice president biden’s visit, in august, costa rica news announced a new multilateral partnership “to reform real estate in latin america” among frank biden, a developer named craig williamson, and the guanacaste country club, a newly planned resort. the partnership, which appears to be ongoing, was wrapped in a beautiful package as a “call on resources available to the companies and individuals to reform the social, economic and environmental practices of real estate developers across the world by example.” in real terms, frank’s dream was to build in the jungles of costa rica thousands of homes, a world class golf course, casinos, and an anti aging center. the costa rican government was eager to cooperate with the vice president’s brother. as it happened, joe biden had been asked by president obama to act as the administration’s point man in latin america and the caribbean. frank’s vision for a country club in costa rica received support from the highest levels of the costa rican government   despite his lack of experience in building such developments. he met with the costa rican ministers of education and energy and environment, as well as the president of the country. on oct. 4, 2016, the costa rican ministry of public education signed a letter of intent with frank’s company, sun fund americas. the project involved allowing a company called gosolar to operate solar power facilities in costa rica. the previous year, the obama biden administration’s opic had authorized a $6.5 million taxpayer backed loan for the project. in june 2014, vice president biden announced the launch of the caribbean energy security initiative (cesi). the program called for increasing access to financing for caribbean energy projects that he strongly supported. american taxpayer dollars were dedicated to facilitating deals that matched us government financing with local energy projects in caribbean countries, including jamaica. in january 2015, usaid announced that it would be spending $10 million to boost renewable energy projects in jamaica over the next five years. after joe biden brought together leaders for cesi, brother frank’s firm sun fund americas announced that it was “engaged in projects and is in negotiations with governments of other countries in the [caribbean] region for both its solar and waste to energy development services.” as if to push the idea along, the obama administration’s opic provided a $47.5 million loan to support the construction of a 20 megawatt solar facility in clarendon, jamaica. frank biden’s sun fund americas later announced that it had signed a contract. joe biden says he never took money from china, but his business partner anthony bobulinski, says hunter biden, called his dad joe biden, the chairman or the big man as incognito names so they didn’t email joe biden‘s name they called him the chairman or the big man. china gave millions to hunter biden but the who family was in on the take. the biden business was for joe to go easy on china and let american jobs go to china and trade secrets. in turn the biden’s got millions for access to joe biden in the obama administration. this is why obama didn’t want joe to run because he knew about joe biden’s corruption. albert says july 25, 2020 at 5:07 pm the rioting and vandalism and looting that you see taking place right now will become the norm if biden is elected in november. under a biden administration, the criminals will go free, while those trying to protect themselves from the criminals will be prosecuted. recall the couple from st. louis. david m oeser says july 26, 2020 at 5:40 pm absolutely. we must defeat the democrats to preserve our way of life, and our freedom. they want to erase god , patriotism and the american family. i don’t know why any american loving or baby living person could ever vote democrat. look at the people who give money to the dems and the clinton’s in particular. they end up later being harvey weinstein in need blurbs 10 yrs later. even if you hate trump, if you have any love at all for america, you cannot vote biden and whatever unqualified person he picks to succeed him. david says august 2, 2020 at 5:03 am all i can do is answer that question for myself. i hate america’s corrupt government that is bought and paid for by the wealthiest oligarchs. i hate a president that has told 20,000 lies and only in it for himself, enriching himself with taxpayer and foreign money at his properties. he won’t even confront putin on hits on our troops. i hate that 150,000 americans have died from coronavirus because it has been so bungled at the federal level. no other country is close to the number dead. i hate we have to fight disinformation and conspiracy theories and the source of truth are called fake news because the us is stupid (#31 on the list of countries iq levels). i hate the how many racist people live here. i hate that half our government to bought and paid for by the nra and another 35,000 people die from gun violence a day. i hate that our government is so ineffective and corrupt we still don’t have a healthcare system that works. i hate that we spend more money in defense than the other top 11 countries combined and for what? schools are broke, infrastructures falling apart and we have arts are defunded. i hate that other countries now pity us and our inability to get the virus under control and they see the lies we are constantly being told by the president. i hate that america doesn’t believe in science and we refuse to change to save the planet from climate change. i hate the way we treat immigrant families, caging children. i hate not being proud of my country. deborah woods says august 4, 2020 at 11:09 am you have been brainwashed by the far left media and far left leaders, and this comes from a life long democrat. they are not democrats any longer. you are right that there are a few who own this country nowadays, and that is on both sides. however, trump was elected because of that fact. trump takes what he is paid for being president and give it to charities. did you know that fact? of course you did not because you just watch cnn/msnbc, etc. you are brainwashed if that is all you watch. you need to always know all sides of the story. our media has caused almost all of the hatred coming from the left. our left media and left leaders have turned us against each other on purpose. this country is far from being perfect, but compared to all countries in the world, this country is at least one of the best, if not the best. i believe it is the best. someone told me years ago that the left kept black people down and scared just to keep their vote. i told them they were crazy and that was not true, because we democrats are the good guys. i started listening/reading both sides and paying attention. it is definitely true, as much as i did not want to believe it. democrats have turned into the bad guys now., like it or not. obama divided us more than any president has ever divided us. he started all of this racist crap. the vast majority of americans were not racist. and i say “were”, because all of this is making some americans racists, and blacks are more racist than any others in this country. that is a fact. i could go on and on. democrats nowadays believe in guilty before being proven innocent and are the lawless ones. they are destroying this country and do not care in the least. they will do anything to get the power back. unfortunately, i voted for obama twice. i have never regretted votes as i do those two. if you watch/read the other side of this story, you will find that trump is not a racist, homophobic, or whatever. in fact, long before he was elected president, he had two gay guys working for him and they got married. he let them stay in one of his motels free for their honeymoon. does that sound like a homophobe the left have tried to paint him as being? i have seen him host dinners or whatever for black organizations many times. you have been brainwashed if you only watch one side. they brainwash you just like cults brainwash people. they have turned our democratic party into a cult. look up the definition for cult. a cult has to have someone to hate and make their followers be afraid of and hate. trump is that person for them. they divide and conquer. they are horrible. they use propaganda just as hitler did. i always wondered how hitler brainwashed an entire country. now i see it happening in my country. while trump may not be the greatest in the world because of his big mouth, he stands for the people taking our country back and spitting in the fact of the few millionaires who own this country now on both sides. remember, the republicans were not thrilled with trump being president. they hate him because he cannot be bought. trump actually loves this country. people like you have got to open their eyes. biden could not run anything. i have never in my life seen an election where they would not allow someone running for office to debate. they know he cannot do it. if he does, there will be so many rules, it will be a fake debate. he can’t even make a speech. wake up! people who have been brainwashed into hating their country in history, their countries have been destroyed. we have been taken over by a bunch of marxists/communists/socialist. they want to destroy us and i worry about the country my children will have to live in because of uninformed people like you. there’s so much more. all you had to do was watch how they treated brett kavenaugh. there was absolutely no evidence whatsoever against him and they made him guilty. i could not believe that would happen in my country. they are destroying us. the democrats we used to be would have thrown a fit over how they did brett kavenaugh. wrong is wrong, no matter what side it is on, but nowadays democrats will go along with anything. that will definitely come back to bite them. wake up!!! alexandra t says august 6, 2020 at 1:56 pm deborah, what you are describing is exactly who i’ve been: a democrat who voted for obama, and now regerting my decision every day. i don’t like trump for his unpolished way of expressing his thoughts through words, that big mouth that gets him in trouble, but i support him for what he has done as the president of this country. he is no racist, he is no homophobic as he is painted in the media. and i’m tired, absolutely exhausted of the left wing propaganda and biased media. tom anderson says august 2, 2021 at 11:07 pm as soon as god can give that cunt nancy a storke the bettet. my cock will get hard again. nancy is so very old, time for her to have a maccive stroke. then go to hell sucking hiltlers cock. i wish someone wood off nancy like that bitch in haiti. can we use the same guy. in 12 mon that bitch will be out of office. i hope she get gagbanged in the cheap pussy she has. i only wish the very worst for her . fucking cunt. anonymous says august 9, 2020 at 1:07 pm that is spot on, keep up the fight and we will win with gods help. god bless you and your family. ( : anonymous says august 28, 2020 at 9:44 am this type of rhetoric is very disturbing and makes me sad. the amount of social media hate for trump is absolutely evident. i don’t understand how educated people can even listen to the left anymore. why did all those people lose their lives fighting communism, only to have our country controlled by oligarchs who want to strip the american people of their rights. if you are a democrat take this challenge…watch one day of the regular bs left media and then one night of tucker carlson, hannity and the ingram angle & you will see the biased news angles of the left. nine says september 16, 2020 at 3:01 am and you have been brainwashed by the right wing media. must be hell in your mind. ricky sandefur says september 14, 2020 at 6:41 am you are the one that is brain washed by fox. preston parker says october 26, 2020 at 11:36 pm sandefur socialism does not work. i realize you are not a person of education, you have not studied history. socialism does not work never has never well. let me put this in layman’s terms so even you can understand. plato was a socialist 400 years before christ in athens and aristotle was a capitalist. the people of athens tried socialism, but the found socialism caused everyone to starve so they put plato in jail, when plato realized his communism ideas did not work in real society the people of athens asked plato to do the honorable thing and kill himself. ask your self would you like to live in a socialist country led by these leaders. hitler mao zedong fidel castro carl marks vladimir lenin joseph stalin no free person wants socialism it stinks, bernie sanders is our present day communist. robert c wehner says august 12, 2020 at 4:45 am david is full of hate hurry david the wall isnt finished perhaps mexico has room for you and your hate d smith says august 12, 2020 at 1:51 pm again, you watch too much biased lying corrupt main stream media. if you hate things so much, do something about it instead of whining! give this president another 4 years and watch how many things on your wish list are accomplished. except taking in all of the illegal aliens and criminals which is ridiculous. the media lies about the majority of the treatment of these people. if they are not being treated like royalty, you liberals are pissed. they are breaking the law! should we start bowing to them and them give them a free ride like the left is wanting? i love our people who have come here legally, but not those who continue to try to enter illegally wanting to be “taken care of” instead of working for a living. john says october 19, 2020 at 8:48 pm i agree david, biden and the democrats are stealing from this country. yes the billionares from facebook and twitter do think they own the country and only a idiot would think otherwise. students taught to hate our country and complete idiots repeating the lies. shumer and his cronies voted against preexisting conditions just this week. your probably too involved hating and holding a hustler magazine with one hand to have bothered to have read that. but that’s ok. you attack people and then attack them again when they defend themselves.. your something else thomas says july 22, 2020 at 8:16 am americas founding fathers created the constitution that all men are created equal but dems who are pure socialists and communists who only want money and power are mentally ill and will wind up destroying what our country is made of. we must vote all dems out unless we want totol destruction of our great country and marxism rhina says july 22, 2020 at 2:36 pm 90percent of illegal aliens are here to kill and destroy america those who protect them and help them are traitors plain and simple. americans patriots stand for freedom and will continue to dye defending our values and our country. political correctness or identity politics does not belong in america. anonymous says july 23, 2020 at 7:14 pm may i ask why you think that illegal immigrants what to kill and destroy the us? they ran away from mexico to not be sold into child slavery and what not. they just want a better life. not to destroy america. they want a chance at a good life. what did they do wrong aside from crossing the border illegally? preston parker says october 26, 2020 at 11:43 pm what happens when hundreds of cruse ships show up with chinese or africans and the all want to come into america illegally and democrats let them and the destroy the environment and go on medicare and welfare anonymous says january 9, 2021 at 11:57 pm preston parker says october 26, 2020 at 11:43 pm what happens when hundreds of cruse ships show up with chinese or africans and the all want to come into america illegally and democrats let them and the destroy the environment and go on medicare and welfare unfortunately, we’re about to find out. soon. guest says october 24, 2021 at 9:32 am preston, if trump had still been president which so many of these problems wouldn’t be happening today at all in the first place. anonymous says july 25, 2020 at 11:25 pm where in the world could you possibly find evidence to support this completely baseless claim? and, it sounds like you don’t belong in america. read a book, figure out the difference between die and dye, and join a century that resembles the one you currently and unfortunately live in. nikhil melgiri says july 23, 2020 at 7:18 pm ummm… what are you basing your idea that democrats are mentally ill, money hungry, and desire to destroy the country? you know the democrats are just as american as you are, they have american citizens in them. just so you know, we liberals don’t hate america. we just don’t like the way you guys are making america. liberalism =/= socialism/communism. liberalism also entails libertarianism and social democracy. demsareevil says july 31, 2020 at 12:24 pm all you need to do is take an honest, hard look at democrats like maxine waters, nancy pelosi, adam schiff, jerry nadler, and the list goes on. do you honestly believe these people are not corrupt and self serving psychopaths? if so, then you probably need a bit of mental health therapy yourself. open your eyes to reality. ken says august 12, 2020 at 2:58 pm there are also some republicans that can be added to that list as well. they were part of the swamp. preston parker says october 26, 2020 at 11:49 pm show me one that is as corrupt as nancy pelosi adam schiff robert mueller and 27 lawyers deleted there phone data. they claim it was an accident, but 27 accidents that not a mistake that a bold face lie, the data is stored on nsa data servers in utah. trump needs to completely declassify the mueller case so the america people can judge for themselves. here is a list of people that broke the law and need to be disbarred from the fbi, i would like to see jail time for obstruction of justice. robert mueller, ahmad, andres, atkinson, deerben, goldstein, jed, meisler, prelogar, quarles iii, rhee, van grack, weissmann, zebley, zelinsky, lisa page, peter strzok, and unnamed lawyers that wiped there phones clean. the irony of phone gate is mueller lawbreakers claim that trump had obstructed justice. the obama administration fbi agent christopher wray, hid the muellers phone gate erase from investigators for two years. the mueller team fbi agent lawyers, broke the law by erasing they phones and they need to be put in jail for obstruction of justice. christopher wray for his part in phone gate cover up needs two in years in jail for his part in the mueller phone gate cover up, by the fbi agents on the mueller team. please fire christopher wray he is blocking the investigation john durham. adam schiff is a congenital liar and i never saw anyone that could perpetrate false hoods like adam schiff. americans expect that politicians will lie, but sometimes the examples are so brazen that they deserve special notice. newly released congressional testimony shows that adam schiff spread falsehoods shamelessly about russia and donald trump for three years even as his own committee gathered contrary evidence. the house intelligence committee last week released 57 transcripts of interviews it conducted in its investigation into russia’s meddling in the 2016 election. the committee probe started in january 2017 under then chair devin nunes and concluded in march 2018 with a report finding no evidence that the trump campaign conspired with the kremlin. most of the transcripts were ready for release long ago, but mr. schiff oddly refused to release them after he became chairman in 2019. he only released them last week when the white house threatened to do it first. now we know why. from the earliest days of the collusion narrative, mr. schiff insisted that he had evidence proving the plot. in march 2017 on msnbc, mr. schiff teased that he couldn’t “go into particulars, but there is more than circumstantial evidence now.” in december 2017 he told cnn that collusion was a fact: “the russians offered help, the campaign accepted help. the russians gave help and the president made full use of that help.” in april 2018, mr. schiff released his response to mr. nunes’s report, stating that its finding of no collusion “was unsupported by the facts and the investigative record.” none of this was true, and mr. schiff knew it. in july 2017, here’s what former director of national intelligence james clapper told mr. schiff and his colleagues: “i never saw any direct empirical evidence that the trump campaign or someone in it was plotting/conspiring with the russians to meddle with the election.” three months later, former obama attorney general loretta lynch agreed that while she’d seen “concerning” information, “i don’t recall anything being briefed up to me.” former deputy ag sally yates concurred several weeks later: “we were at the fact gathering stage here, not the conclusion stage.” i would like to have adam shift brought up before the senate and explain why we get so many lies from him. kate says january 18, 2023 at 7:18 am several posters have repeatedly called out others as being “dumb” yet you couldn’t write a two word sentence accurately. it’s “you’re dumb” not “your dumb”! the qnuts & trump supporters are easy to spot because they can’t spell, write a coherent sentence and have obviously never read a book. if they had, they’d use punctuation rather than nonsensical word salad as seen. with every post, they demonstrate their inability to spell correctly. i recall trump saying he loves the poorly educated. it’s not surprising because he has an inferiority complex leading him to boast about his alleged intelligence. he loves an uneducated base because he has noticed they’ll fall for every lie he tells and beg for more. he mocks them openly, lies about what he’s going to do for them and when called out for his lack of health care, higher wages, better paying jobs, cheap housing and all his other promises, he claims it will be announced in two weeks. trump pardoned bannon after he was found to have stolen from his base. he took $$ designated to build the wall, pocketed millions and didn’t fund any part of the wall. the pardon mocked his supporters very openly. he is shameless! trump also begged for $$ from his base for his so called defense fund to overturn the election but there was no defense fund to be found. why does an alleged billionaire need $$ for anything, especially for legal expenses that were covered by the rnc? even worse, on the donor website there was a pre checked box that automatically turned a one time donation into a weekly withdrawal from many who couldn’t afford to give weekly. what did he do when called out on his scam? he sent an email to his donors about how difficult it would be to return everyone’s $$ and that he wasn’t responsible for taking money from supporters. many obviously didn’t ask for their money back, although he did refund over $100m demanded by the banks on behalf of their customers. trump never answered the inquiries as to what he did with all the money he received. we do know it sure af wasn’t used for a lawsuit regarding the election. trump was never responsible for anything that went wrong but he’d take credit for things that happened in the previous administration, as in the va bill, while attacking president obama for not getting it done! i think many people refuse to believe the reality of trump’s actions because if they did, it would mean they made a mistake in supporting a serial lying con artist who they gave their hard earned money to on a regular basis. it’s too bad they refuse to open their eyes and minds enough to read about trump prior to his running for office. he didn’t call the media “fake news” before the white house although he did call many members of the media, pretending to be “trump’s p.r. man. john barron” to fill them in on trump’s latest antics. he loved to talk about his female conquests as he referred to women he allegedly dated. they were often supermodels or well known actresses, along with celebrities, the younger, the better, claiming women weren’t worth pursuing if they’re over 35 y.o. he said they were washed up and didn’t want a woman who had given birth, saying it robbed them of their appeal! of course at the time he was saying this, he was well over 50. if anyone who wanted to vote for him took the time to research his well documented scams, adultery, theft from employees, friends, business associates and even family, i can’t imagine how they could possibly still vote for him. is it ignorance, stupidity or maybe they are much like trump and see no problem with his criminal actions and the cost to taxpayers. i certainly agree says march 7, 2021 at 8:14 am these are the very severely mentally retarded people that just don’t have a real clue to what is going on in our world today at all. very clueless and brainless people all over the place nowadays unfortunately. oh boy, these people really need to be educated a lot more. roger says august 30, 2020 at 6:37 am so you know there is a difference between liberals and democrats. the issue is this liberal/socialist parasite has latched on and corrupted one of our political parties. also to the douche who said 90% of illegal immigrants are here to destroy america. you are an idiot and part of the reason the left can call us republicans racist. the issues arise from the unchecked criminals led by liberal hollywood and their like minded cronies. merica’ trump 2020 g love says july 8, 2020 at 1:40 am what an odd editorial. are all leftists marxists? are all americans who call themselves democrats marxists? it’s hard to follow exactly what you are talking about or what your argument is. your basic political categories are poorly defined, for one, and include many who would claim they are not who you say they are. for example, your idea that democratic socialism is based on godless marxism is simply false. rather, marx offers us one example of socialism that presupposes a certain form of atheism. democratic socialism is something different all together. second, putting aside the philosophical claims, your factual claims are wrong too. the vast majority of venezuelans identify as christians. furthermore, many communist and socialist countries around the world adhere to principles of freedom of religion and even justify their socialist practices and policies on their religious faith. russian identity affirms eastern orthodoxy. and many would argue, the israeli kibbuts is a form of socialism. gerald boyum says july 15, 2020 at 2:58 pm what you or any other person actually believe, and to what extent, would determine what “category” you would be in, and where on that given spectrum (from radical left to radical right) would be. those people who’ve swallowed the radical left’s propaganda “hook, line, and sinker” and believe in overthrowing the government by any means, including violence, would be “hard” or “radical” leftists. liberals would be more towards the middle. “all leftists marxists?” actually no, but it’s the predominant one that we hear about most often. maoism would be another source, but with some differences. marx focused on industrial production whereas mao concentrated on agricultural production because of the huge population of farmers in china. however, all leftist versions share the following common elements of socialism/communism: 1. god does not exist, and hostility to organized religions. religion is the “opiate of the masses.” 2. there are no absolute moral standards. if god does not exist, there are no absolute moral standards (relativism) and no accountability in an afterlife. “nobody” is watching”; everybody does what’s “right in their own eyes”, and all things are permissible. the “ends justify the means.” 3. the state is the ultimate authority and vehicle for establishing universal equality. it should have enough power (no limits) to bring about universal equality which is the ultimate objective. 4. individual rights are determined by the state. what the state gives, the state can take away. rights are not unalienable. 5. means of production are controlled by the state. factories, farms, forests, etc.). are owned or controlled by the state using central planning. 6. capitalism and private property ownership are “evil”. they promote greed and inequality, the ultimate sins. 7. there is only one party. it controls all aspects of society to include media, education, entertainment, etc. 8. the end result is the same. utopian promises have always resulted in dystopia because it is based on falsehoods, such as the nature of man: primarily good (people, especially, leaders) can be trusted to do what’s best for the common good. “are all americans who call themselves democrats marxists?” this answer should be obvious  we’re talking about democratic socialists. again, list what “democrats” believe in and compare it to what marxist ideology involves. “political categories are poorly defined.” ok then, define what they should be. there are almost as many variables in defining political spectrums as there are people writing about them. “…democratic socialism is based on godless marxism is simply false.” this is false; socialism is socialism  read paras. 1 8 again, and “democratic” supposedly means electing their leaders. right!! in practice, it’s been one election and then the need for more elections disappear. “the vast majority of venezuelans identify as christians.” so were the majority of germans when they “voted” for hitler. what matters then and now is the ideology supported by the person you vote for, and the real world track record. make/keep america great or make america venezuela! read the last sentence as many times as required to understand and vote accordingly. if all voters did that, trump would win in a landslide. in our upcoming election, it’s american conservatism vs. “democratic socialism” which is, in reality, anything but democratic based on the utterances of some of its leaders, and then of course, there’s the marxist hijacked blm and its influence on the so called “democratic party”. we’re getting a preview right now of what’s in store for america if biden/dem. socialists are put in charge. “…many communist and socialist countries adhere to principles of freedom…” name them, but don’t mention scandinavian countries  they are capitalist countries with large social programs. while i’m at it, socialism and social programs are not the same. social programs such as social security, medicare, welfare, etc. can be administered under any political system, even communism. socialism is a political and economic system which i’ve described above. fs says july 17, 2020 at 1:32 am well said!!! you really have insights! wisdom is in the discernment. karen says july 17, 2020 at 7:45 am democrats say capitalism is greed and evil. no. there’s nothing wrong with someone who works and and wants a nice home and other nice things. it is not oppressive. the right are not the radical ones. but the left are. they condone and encourage blm an the marxist. and there is no room christian people in a social/communist country. christians are be killed for there beliefs and faith. anonymous says july 25, 2020 at 11:19 pm please provide evidence of these christians being killed for their beliefs and faith. also, please google marxism so you can actually understand what it means and what it stood for. then google jonestown and cults and see the similarities of those behaviors and that of republicans. then google fascism and explain to me why you’re ok with that, but socialism is so radical and evil. maja nowakowski says august 12, 2020 at 11:22 am have you ever attended history class, or even listened during history? if so then you would have been smart enough to know that during the era when christianity was first founded, it was highly criticized. the romans found them as a threat and in order to keep christianity from spreading they fed them to the lions in arenas. however this didn’t stop the spread of christianity and actually caused it to flourish because people were willing to die and be persecuted for their religion. nowadays christians are still being persecuted and i’ve heard several people state that we are homophobic. no. i come from a catholic family and the last thing i am is a homophobe. geotge says august 15, 2020 at 1:37 pm i don’t want to understand marxist ideology i’ve lived in a socialist country it’s not funny standing in line for food not like in a grocery store you’re given what the govt wants to give you ask asking permission to move a dr md makes 25 dollars a mos so is that what you want for this country if you do go to hell i remember this old saying better dead than ref anonymous says july 22, 2020 at 10:42 pm all your missing is wisdom from above and lots of jesus! kirk says july 26, 2020 at 8:05 pm perfectly explained! denise says july 16, 2020 at 8:07 pm i consider myself a democrat and i live america. all i want is decent healthcare, equal rights for all and to not be have believe in god. is don’t bother anyone and i have many friends from both parties. i don’t think i deserve to be hated. i’m a child advocate, pay my taxes and stay out of trouble. but i get labeled a libtard and i american. this country is so full of hate because nobody can respect a persons political choices. i don’t like trump but that’s because of the crap he did before he became president. none of the dems i know are anything like this man described. i’m 58 and have never seen the hate i see today. it’s really scary. jim says july 30, 2020 at 5:10 am it’s your right to choose denise, no one has the right to tell you otherwise. myself i come from a democratic family, we (my brothers & sister) were raised democrats, but we are divided now. i don’t know if it’s because one half of us is awake and the other half is asleep or not, but politics is a sore subject when we talk to each other, so we leave it dormant and don’t even bring it up. i don’t make my voting choices because of the way my family votes, i truly don’t care.how they vote, i vote for myself. with that said, i’ll say this; i listen to the candidates that are running for office, i want to know what they are going to do for the american people, how are they going to help us. for years all we ever heard from all of them is; “i won”t raise taxes,” i think everyone of us was getting tired of hearing that campaign lie. every four (4) years…. when president trump ran for office, i didn’t vote for him. why? because my thoughts were, oh yeah as soon as he gets in office, he’s going to take care of all his rich buddies and forget about his campaign promises. i thought he was just looking to put another check mark on his list of billionaire accomplishments. boy was i wrong. i watched after president trump got elected to see if he was going really do anything. well once again i was impressed with president trump. here was a president that wasn’t sitting around waiting to be sworn in before he went to work to repair our country, he jumped right in. starting with the overhaul of “obama care” (which i never liked). another thing that impressed me about president trump was he was actually talking to us america’s citizens) and keeping us (america) informed as to what he doing and the progress he was making.. while at the same time the hatred was rising up from the democratic party (sore because they lost), i don’t ever remember the republican party acting this way when they lost to obama. the republican party just let president obama (who also had no political experience) run the country. there was no republican vendetta against obama because they lost the election nor did they show hatred towards him (as the democrats have shown towards president trump). i’ve found president trump to be strong willed and meaning what he says president, he bows down, nor surrenders to no one, president trump has to be the strongest president i have ever seen. i’ve often wondered how he retains his energy, he seems to never sleep, i don’t believe (unless i missed it) he ever stops to actually enjoy himself (no work). president trump has done a lot since taking office, but the media and the democrats don’t want those who could possibly turn and vote for him in this upcoming election to know this. for instance president trump formed a new trade agreement between canada the united states & mexico (cusma) president trump stopped letting china take advantage us with their tariffs. we were paying high tariffs on goods being sold in their country while china was paying outrageously low tariffs on goods sold in our country. president trump has brought businesses back to the u.s ending outsourcing. with that accomplished, unemployment dropped to an all time low in the u.s. president trump also got steel factories up and running again (they’ve been down for years).. “made in the usa” is president trumps goal for our future he’s has addressed the nuclear arms issue with north korea & iran and imposed embargo’s. our border wall, which the democrats don’t like. i don’t know how you feel about the border wall, but everyone using the words “we are a free country” has nothing to do with the wall. we have no problem with people entering our country as long as it’s done legally. the wall is to keep those who want to immigrate to our country, honest. the democrats want to give away our tax money to people who are not u.s. citizens. of course they will debate you, but california’s governor (democrat) has been on tv saying this is just one of things he would like to do. so american citizens starve while he and his constituents give away our hard earned money to someone that is not a u.s citizen? also have you ever stopped to think about the blm (i call them terrorist), here are armed soldiers in battle dress uniforms terrorizing the city of portland (democrat state), while the governor, who has the power to call up the national guard and restore law & order, does nothing. and… why does the governor want the president to pull the federal agents he sent; out of portland? same thing in chicago & new york (also democrat states). none of these cities have done anything to protect the american people nor the assets of the city. these are the people you want running the country. not me. i’ll stop there, but the list is much, much longer. plus everything you say you want in the president you vote for… well that’s exactly what president trump wants for you and every other american citizen in our country, he fights everyday for america’s rights & freedoms and he gets treated like dirt by the democrats. do you realize that the house has not done one dang thing in four (4) years; there are bills in washington that have been up there since i was a kid, but have they looked at them? “no!” they’ve been to busy trying to overthrow our president? four years?, that is the most time i have ever seen or heard of them (politicians) actually being at work in washington, i didn’t say doing work, i said being at work. now that is pure hatred. but as you have seen, it hasn’t swayed our president in the least, he still presses on trying to straighten out the mess that has been created over the years. oh “yes,” i will for sure vote for president trump this time. i’m not for the government telling me how to dress, where, when and what i can eat, if i can come out of my house or if i have to stay in, who i can talk to, who i can’t, how close i stand to someone, if i can see my family or not… i love my rights and freedoms to much to relinquish them to the the democratic party, my eyes are wide open, i see what their agenda is and i refuse to let them control my life. anonymous says august 12, 2020 at 8:31 pm great response! ricky sandefur says september 14, 2020 at 6:51 am you are. so afraid of a lie, what make you think if people donnot support this liar then they are commies. plenty of real americans see him for what he is a rich bastard that cares about no one but himself. anonymous says october 22, 2020 at 1:13 pm wow, that’s radicalization all the way…nothing you said about trump is true and he isn’t talking to americans to find solutions. he’s dividing us and starting culture wars over masks that would’ve prevented all these deaths. you claim no one was evil towards obama you are a filthy liar. obama was constantly attacked for what suit he wore, what mustard he used and there was no petty story that fox news would not paint him as satan. he was called a dictator for giving millions healthcare which makes no sense as no ones rights were infringed. he didn’t have a secret chinese bank account like trump not does he owe foreign banks hundreds of millions of dollars. obama was constantly threatened with impeachment over mundane things and they could never come up with evidence of criminality, they only sought to obstruct and tarnish obama’s name. you’re a sick individual who lived through multiple viral outbreaks under obama and saw a coherent and responsible agenda against viral outbreak and yet you seem to think trump’s failure is a win when no one suffered this much under obama. please get help kate says january 18, 2023 at 7:28 am you don’t understand the economy and are misinformed if you believe trump was in the white house for any other reason than to enrich himself. he cut taxes for the wealthy yet the poor and middle class have seen their pitiful tax cuts be eliminated while the wealthy are gaining more and more and the middle class is being phased out as republicans cater to the 1%. trump is not a christian nor does he care about the evangelicals except to use them as a means for more votes. he mocked them for praying over him, saying to his staff, “do you think they really believe all the nonsense they were saying?” educate yourself about what has gone on in trump’s administration and learn about the disgust they developed while being aware of his antics on a daily basis. i’m surprised we have so many people who have closed their eyes and mind to reality. mikey says june 20, 2020 at 2:24 pm it is incredible the lengths democrats and more specifically progressives will go to just to paint themselves and their views as virtuous. when in reality what do their views boil down to? destroying the 1st and 2nd amendment. they used to say that was just conservative conspiracy yet here we are, june 2020, and progressives are rioting and demanding anyone with old tweets that they see as bad be shut down or fired from whatever job they hold. demanding police allow criminals to flee after assaulting police if they are black. the open attacks on the right to bear arms is very clear from the endless proposed bans and laws. california puts out new restrictions every year. now we have the nyt promoting journalists who write how much they have white men yet shut down any conservative op eds. the hypocrisy is insane. anonymous says july 23, 2020 at 5:36 pm denise, so you consider yourself a “democrat” and you love america  i do not doubt it. however, be advised that the so called democratic party is definitely not the party of your parents or your younger years (think jfk and harry truman who were staunch anti communists); now it would be hard to tell the difference between this party’s platform and that of the communist party usa’s!). if you are “hated”, it’s most likely for your support of socialist politicians who will attempt to use a political ideology that has ruined every country where it’s been tried: soviet union, north korea, east germany, cuba, etc. now, it’s venezuela, once the richest country in south america. leftism/marxism destroys everything it touches as seen in many of our cities that the dem. socialists have controlled for years. rioting and looting are continuing in some of these cities. a lot of good, well intended people have had the wool pulled over their eyes for quite some time by political activists who masquerade as unbiased journalists who favor one political party. they are functioning more like a propaganda ministry than a free press which is critical in the democratic process associated with self  government. however, much to their credit, over 2/3rds of the american people don’t trust them, and rightly so. the main rule in dealing with a propaganda ministry is to ignore them or assume that whatever they say, the actual truth is closer to the opposite! compounding the problem is an education system that indoctrinates students instead of educating them; i.e., teaching students what to think instead of how to think. the most critical consideration, especially during a presidential election, is the political ideologies associated with the candidates. you are not electing just the “chief executive”, but also the people who will be working with the president and elsewhere. the most critical responsibility of any leader is: 1. defense. the #1 priority is to protect the american people and american interests at home and abroad. failure here and nothing else matters. trump:   directed rebuilding of us military, acting to counter iran and block its path for acquiring nuclear weapons, and acting to strengthen nato   is working to build border wall despite fierce obstruction from a party that places political power over national security and personal safety.   formed new space command to counter weaponization of space by potential enemies. 2. promote american prosperity. a strong economy benefits all people and is a major factor in defense considerations. trump:   withdrew us from job killing deals such as trans pacific partnership and unfair paris climate accord.   jump started america’s workers and economy by cutting taxes and getting rid of job killing regulations   unlocked america’s vast energy resources. energy policies have resulted in america as the #1 energy oil producer with many more job opportunities.   is defending essential rights such as freedom of religion, right to life, and self defense.. 3. biden proposals. a biden victory in the next election will mean a 3rd term of a former president who will try to undo all the good that trump has accomplished  “fundamental transformation”. biden,under direction from the radical left, will promote:   reduced spending on military and police.   rejoining paris climate accord.   cutting off spending for border wall and possibly even tear it down.   increased taxes on businesses and individuals.   renewed attacks on christians, conservatives, law enforcement. in summary, as noted by past actions and comments, biden and the radical dem. socialists are anti god, anti america, anti christian, anti fundamental rights such as freedom of religion, right to defend oneself, anti rule of law, anti capitalism, anti family, etc. in short, they are against everything that the west and america stand for. the choice could not be clearer: american conservatism/republican with trump who gets the right things done or dem. socialism with that other guy. is it going to be a prosperous future with individual liberty that has resulted in the greatest country to ever have existed, or possibly catastrophic failure and misery that has failed every time it has been tried in the real world? if you and others who claim to love america, then vote accordingly. try to overcome all the propaganda and indoctrination designed to increase political power of one party and the wealth that goes with that power. it’ll be the top party hacks and the managers of the means of production who consider themselves “more equal” than the rest of us. and the rest of us do not matter at all! “for the people” means only certain elites”! enterthefray says january 19, 2022 at 7:21 pm hey russkie, not gonna bother with your entire diatribe, mostly because most of it is lathered in bs. however, i will point to this one line that elicits the russkie attribution. now, read this in your ‘heaviest’ st. petersburg “boris” you can muster (you, will have no problem, this is mostly for the americans’ here) this line: “”is working to build border”” nice! tell vlad we see him. gerald boyum says may 29, 2020 at 9:19 am reply to greg rendahl’s response, may 26, 2020 1. nice try in your non answers and non sequiturs in an attempt to dodge the questions. these items are not rhetorical questions; to get anywhere in a discussion of reality, i need good, realistic answers. i’ve listed fundamental issues  some are mutually exclusive (like a coin toss  either heads or tails); i.e., god either exists or he doesn’t. the evidence for a creator god is all around us, starting with us humans and the natural world. “the heavens declare the glory of god and the earth shows his handiwork.” (psalms 19 1) 2.“… hard won socialism…”. the items you’ve listed are social programs, not socialism which is a political and economic system. there are huge differences, but too many people use them interchangeably. these programs can be administered by any form of government, including socialist and even communist ones. here are some of the key elements of a socialist government: ultimate authority, the state; anti god, anti christian, anti america, anti family, etc.; government ownership of the means of production and distribution of goods, no limits on government power, centralized planning of economy, diminished individual liberties, one party system, control of media and education, etc. 3. compromise. there is a spectrum of beliefs, from hard left to hard right; not all leftists would agree with all of the hard left positions just as most american conservatives would not agree with the hard right positions. examples of hard right would be iran. left positions in the real world are those of north korea, former soviet union, cuba, etc. where people are killed or imprisoned for not supporting the current regime. key fundamentals are non negotiable; any compromise on these means that a person no longer believes in them. however, some polls use a spectrum of “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree” and “undecided”, the sum of answers will determine where a person stands on these major issues and the subsequent positions. incidentally, i’ve seen only one survey that uses the fundamental belief or foundation that starts with the existence of a supernatural creator: a. god either exists or he doesn’t. it’s a “yes/no” answer. this is the most important decision a person can make. ideas have consequences and theological ideas have tremendous consequences. the answers to this vital question separate the “wheat from the chaff” right up front and will determine how a person, especially politicians, would respond to the following choices. no survey is really valid if the starting point or foundation is omitted. as i’ve mentioned before, the political ideology supported by candidates, especially at the federal and state levels is the key determinant as to how a person should vote: it determines the future path of our country. put me down as “strongly agree” or ”yes” on the critical choices. strong atheists would respond as “strongly disagree” or “no” for #1. this is irrational  a person would have to have the knowledge of a god to make such a statement  ability to know what’s in the whole universe and all its dimensions! iran, a theocracy, would be a “strong right” selection followed by saudi arabia and other islamic countries that execute people for not “believing. america now would be closer to the middle, whereas in colonial times, it would have been farther to the right b. origin of man. divine creation or evolution of man. “yes” or “strongly agree”. there is no evidence whatsoever that supports “molecule monkey man evolution. c. man’s nature. flawed, not changeable vs. basically good and changeable. it is impossible to develop any system involving human interaction, especially government, without answering this question. it was the reason why the founders designed our government with separation of power (three branches) and limits on government (bill of rights). the soviets tried for 70 years to develop “the new soviet man”, but they failed as did the soviet union. 4. “…president i was not ashamed of.” you can clarify this statement by identifying what a chief executive of the united states is responsible for; i.e. a “job description”. candidates are “interviewing” for this position as are all the others for “key open positions” in federal and states. we, the voters, will be making “hiring choices” and you’d think that this would be obvious, but it’s not. why not? is it the attitude of media and education that we really don’t want an educated citizenry, but one that can be manipulated by propaganda and indoctrination? do i have to develop this critical item? i don’t mean you or other citizens; i’m talking political parties, think tanks, higher education, etc. of course, if any of them actually would tackle this critical element; it would most quickly devolve into vague nonsense, non actionable generalities and emotional appeals designed to confuse and manipulate the public as is too often now. the founding documents would be the first places to start when writing job descriptions. for the presidency, i’ll start with the #1 priority for any leader and others in the federal and state governments: defend america from all foreign and internal enemies. failure here would render anything less meaningless. just ask the french during wwii and south koreans during that war. greg rendahl says may 29, 2020 at 10:49 am on your point 2, virtually all progressives want more and better “social programs.” your concerns over communism and socialism approach the hysterical. the trump administration is constantly seeking more authority both directly from trump and from the endless string of sycophantic subordinates. today’s cult iteration of conservative christianity is an anti christ movement that makes a sick joke of christ’s teachings. money and power, the god of mammon takes over. the federalist society with trump and republicans are shoving corporate loving, money loving judges down our throats that will plague our nation for years. gerald boyum says june 2, 2020 at 8:43 am 1. on point #1. no response yet, but i’m not surprised by the inability or unwillingness of leftists to articulate foundational elements of their belief system. i would definitely re examine my belief system, especially the source, if i had concerns about discussing it publicly. i thought that you wanted to talk “realities” and the best way is to begin with the foundation of a belief system which is the “ultimate reality” or source of absolute truth and moral standards. this reality is the source of law and governing political philosophies that are used as the foundation of every social order. as has been demonstrated many times throughout history and mentioned in the bible, a false foundation is a prescription for disaster. 2.“all progressives”. i can remember when “progressive” meant “communist” as in “progressing” from capitalism to socialism to communism, the end goal. 3.“sycophantic”. leftists have a well developed capability for “projection”   accusing others what they are guilty of in spades. when obama was in the white house, much of mainstream media fell all over themselves in fawning over him and covering up for him; other public figures even called him “the messiah” or “savior”, and teachers had their students sing songs about him. now, where else in the world were (or are) things like this done? 4. “anti christian, money and power, etc.” also describes many leftists, including the clintons. weren’t they almost broke at one time, but now have a net worth of over $150 million? it must have been all those good investments in the stock market. trump certainly has fulfilled many of his campaign promises already; however, he did america a huge favor by keep one of the most corrupt individuals out of the white house. other comments: “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” speaking of “stones”, “let he who is without sin throw the first stone.” 5. “federalist society”. never heard of them, but i’m not a lawyer or legal scholar. however, it sounds as though they’re on the right track by pushing for justices and judges who read from the constitution and other legal documents, not into them using their personal beliefs as though they were the original writers. here is the source of “legislating from the bench” which is about as unconstitutional as it can get. btw, much of the dem. socialist playbook comes from saul alinsky’s “rules for radicals” which is all about gaining political power by whatever means necessary. both obama and hillary were quite familiar with alinsky and his work. devout says july 23, 2020 at 9:01 am on the 4th point, just saying “yeah but the enemy does it too” is an extremely childish response. how do you base so many of your claims on the christian faith and yet back a man whose greed and gluttonous manner precede any mental picture of him you could possibly paint? greg rendahl says may 21, 2020 at 8:01 am hello, mr. boyum. on your point 1, i and most folks don’t care about the opinions of alexander (?) or david barton. on point 2, “smallpox blankets” are a speculative possibility, but other cases of mass killings of indians are undeniable facts. the 5,000 mile forced march on the trail of tears left thousands dead. the massacre at wounded knee was so despicable that large numbers of medals of honor were given to our soldiers. on point 3, yes, christians were a very important force that led to the end of slavery in the british empire and in america. 1% or less of black slaves were owned by free blacks. large southern farmers were the driving force in the continuation of slavery. they worshiped money over decency which nearly destroyed the united states. despicably, one still sometimes sees the most evil symbol in american history, the confederate flag. on point 4, you make the totally false statement that one political party seeks to “eliminate charitable organizations.” interestingly, none of your bible verses come from the gospels. conservative christians seem to always spend more efforts on the opinions of ancient figures other than christ. “sell your possessions, and give to the poor” luke 12:33. “you can not serve both god and money” matt 6:24. the man with two shirts must share with him who has none, and anyone with food must do the same” luke 3:11. “sell everything you have and distribute to the poor” luke 18:22. and mark 10:21 “it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god” mark 10:25. see also: luke 6:20, luke 14:33, and luke 16: 10 15. now days there are growing numbers of fake christian ministers who preach the “prosperity gospel” aimed at those who hate christ’s teachings. gerald boyum says may 22, 2020 at 4:30 am 1.“… i and most folks”? here is a bandwagon logical fallacy that implies that most everyone believes or is doing it be with the “crowd”. is this perhaps the case of “does truth determine your agenda, or does your agenda determine what you’ll accept as truth? i suppose i could have taken the same close minded approach about “opinions” of karl marx, friedrich engels, howard zinn (wrote “a people’s history of the united states” with no references. a better title would have been “a people’s history of the united states through the lens of marxism’s trinity: class, sex and race”), et.al. but reading “the communist manifesto” and the history of communism/socialism has been worthwhile in understanding where the dem. socialist primary beliefs and playbook come from. i know several people who lived under communism in eastern european countries who escaped before emigrating to the us. they all said the same thing: “i can’t believe we’re hearing the same crap over here that we heard then. we’ve been warned by former russians who lived in the soviet union many times, and currently by venezuelans about the dangers of communism/socialism. however, we have people here who think that they’re smarter than the founding fathers, and even god. smart people learn from their mistakes; really smart people learn from other people’s mistakes. people whose political philosophies are based on emotion and fantasy are incapable of learning and must “learn the hard way”. problem is that all will suffer if they are successful. 2. mass killings of indians are well documented and undeniable. i have not encountered anyone denying this. when people bring up examples of “man’s inhumanity to man” they are confirming a truth of the bible, “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god. [except jesus] (romans 3 23) it’s why a savior, jesus, is required. 3. black slaves owned by blacks. here is an attempt at minimizing the significance of this fact. as i mentioned previously, black african chieftains and slave “catchers” were the origins of this slave supply chain  the number most likely was much higher than 1%, and it may be closer to 100%. 1% may seem insignificant, but it’s the impact that counts. would you feel reassured if your doctor told you that he/she has good news from your diagnosis; only 1% of your body cells are cancerous? 4. “… the most evil symbol in america, the confederate flag.” really? i would have guessed, according to radical leftists, that it is our country’s flag that represents an evil country. at any rate, it is part of southern history that represents their efforts to preserve their states’ rights, the right to secede. i wonder if you would feel comfortable writing or saying that statement in georgia, alabama, etc. 5.“… totally false statement…” i probably could have worded it differently. i was primarily thinking about the leftist war on the little sisters of the poor, a group of catholic nuns who minister to the poor and adhere to their church’s teaching on sterilization, abortion, and contraception. also, other cases involve bakers who have refused to provide cakes for same sex marriages and have been threatened with lawsuits that could put them out of business. at any rate, the left has worked to ban crosses and nativity scenes from the public square, christmas symbols including the colors red and green christmas carols, voluntary prayers, and posting the ten commandments, voluntary prayers, etc. from public schools. then, there’s hollywood that puts out movies (10 pieces of garbage for every one that treats christianity respectfully), blasphemous performances mocking the catholic church at award ceremonies, and artists painting blasphemous pictures. 6 “ …none of your bible verses…” as a person who seems to be reasonably familiar with the bible, you should know what is coming: a. jesus recognized the two divisions of the old testament as divinely authoritative. “think not that i have come to abolish the law and the prophets; i have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them. (mathew 5:17,18). b. jesus cited 14 different old testament books. for example:   marriage, from genesis. mark 10:6 8.   ten commandments, from exodus. luke 18:20. greg rendahl says may 22, 2020 at 8:01 am mr. boyum, i find it vastly interesting how people can view the same reality in such different ways. i’ll finish up here with just a couple of points. first, i think you worry excessively over communism. it absolutely ain’t gonna happen here. secondly, howard zinn did america a great favor by writing a people’s history. in high school we learned about some presidents and some dates and some wars, blah, blah, blah… zinn brings alive the struggles of workers, women, minorities, etc. he shows how so many brave people fought for their rights, because without fighting, either peacefully or violently, the downtrodden will never get anywhere. gerald boyum says may 26, 2020 at 11:31 am 1. are we actually viewing the same realities? reality is defined as the state of things as they actually exist, what we consider to be true, as opposed to an idealistic idea of reality. let’s see where we may differ. reality #1. ultimate authority. the question of authority is inescapable. all belief systems have a starting point or foundation that must be accepted by faith. is it god as he has revealed himself in the bible, or man’s institution, the state, based on godless marxism and secular humanism? 2. this ultimate authority is then used to evaluate the truths of subsequent beliefs or presuppositions that are assumed to be true: a. reality #2. origin of man. divine creation or evolution from lower life forms? the answer is vital in questions involving “right to life” such as abortion, euthanasia. b. reality #3. individual rights. endowed by our creator or determined by the state? if the latter, rights are not unalienable; i.e., they can be invented or taken away. c. reality #4. man’s nature. flawed and unchangeable or basically good and changeable? people, especially leaders, will do what’s right for the common good. history says otherwise. this is a primary reason why socialism fails. d. reality #5. purpose of government. protect fundamental individual rights and secure blessings of liberty or establish universal material equality? e. reality #6. purpose of law. establish “will of the masses” as defined by leaders, or punish and restrain evil (man’s behavior), and provide justice for all people. without absolute moral standards as a foundation, justice and order are not possible. f. reality #7. role of property and economic system. private or government owned/control of the means of production? creator of wealth and key part of individual liberty, or sources of greed and inequality? g. reality #8. a vision is a road map for the future of any organization, including countries. is it “fundamental transformation” from a biblically based foundation that has resulted in the greatest country to ever exist, to a system based on godless marxism that has failed wherever it’s been tried in the real world, sometimes catastrophically? president trump with his “make/keep america great again” closely mirrors the founders’ vision. democratic socialism contradicts almost everything associated with the founders vision and american conservatism. the political ideology supported by a presidential candidate and other politicians is the most important factor in determining who should lead us. a focus on reality vs. emotions and fantasy based on lies and falsehoods should indicate which path america should take. 3. worry about communism? no, we shouldn’t be concerned about a growing trend, especially among younger people who’ve not experienced the cold war and are most susceptible to the leftist propaganda of “free stuff” and other appeals to emotion who seem to favor a political system that has failed miserably and sometimes catastrophically in the real world? in a way, i agree that it “ain’t going to happen here”. the route to communism is socialism which will fail before the end state of communism is reached. “the american people will never knowingly adopt socialism. but under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day america will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” norman thomas, u.s. socialist party presidential candidate 1940,1944, and 1948. greg rendahl says may 26, 2020 at 4:15 pm mr. boyum, i see you are basically an either/or kind of guy without moderations or compromise, i don’t know if you think the hard won socialism that we have, social security, medicare, medicaid, food stamps, college help, etc. are evil marxism or if you have grudgingly (?) accepted them. i don’t know if you think if was a good idea for trump and the republicans to cut taxes mostly on the wealthy and give us trillion dollar deficits. i don’t know if you think we should have the freedom to infect grandma in the nursing home with covid or the check out girl in the grocery store. we need compromise to decide what freedom we should have. some might like to drink and drive and not worry about dang old lane guidelines on roads. personally, i’d love to have a president i was not ashamed of. aaron bishop says may 18, 2020 at 9:16 pm greetings jeff, you seemed to miss my last post to you on your article. it is quite difficult to know where to begin. lot’s of “he said, he said” arguments, as far up the chain as i dare go. let us just start this whole thing off with this rather true statement from our president. “leadership: whatever happens, you’re responsible. if it doesn’t happen, you’re responsible.” pre candidate trump on nov 8, 2013 you said: “s] “trump fired the pandemic response team.” [van gorp] a] such a nasty lie. john bolton had orders to streamline and reorganize the national security council. senior director of global health admiral tim ziemer resigned in may 2018, but the pandemic response staff stayed on and continues to serve, a key part of nsc.” john bolton had orders to streamline. true. two notables: 1. orders from whom? well, orders from whom is simple. ultimately, bolton was acting on behalf of trump’s orders. the president didn’t specifically fire individuals, however, he certainly gave that authority to bolton. essentially, bolton’s actions were signed off by the president, who is (in his words) “responsible”. and 2. streamlining meaning what exactly? and how? you claimed “the pandemic response staff stayed on and continues to serve, a key part of nsc”. i think it would be more accurate to say that the pandemic response team was largely disbanded, but *some* members were reassigned to relevant roles, not all. the cdc team assigned in to china was particularly hard hit by this “streamlining” process. the administration via bolton under president trump cut staff by more than 2/3rds in china, according to a report from reuters. “the cdc’s china headcount has shrunk to around 14 staffers, down from approximately 47 people since president donald trump took office in january 2017, the documents show. the four people, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the losses included epidemiologists and other health professionals…” (taylor, 3/25)” https://www.reuters.com/article/us health coronavirus china cdc exclusiv/exclusive u s slashed cdc staff inside china prior to coronavirus outbreak iduskbn21c3n5 indeed, it appears some of the pandemic response team were reassigned and continue to work within the ncs. as in many cases, there are half truths and misunderstandings abound. you said: s] “medicare for all would save $450 billion and 68,000 lives per year.” [ van gorp] a] what a whopper. while the leftist media touts those numbers, competent experts including mit professor simon johnson estimate an increased cost of 13.5 to 47.5 trillion over 10 years. when did a government administrated system ever operate on budget or deliver equal results for less money? saving lots of lives? i doubt it. let us delve into what *more* mit professor simon johnson had to say on the subject, not just his cherry picked comments you provided. i believe this is the same source from which you retrieved your information, but it is hard to tell because you did not cite your sources in your original article. “johnson collaborated with donald berwick, who served as cms administrator during the obama administration, on his analysis. johnson emphasizes that he does not work for the warren campaign but was asked as an independent expert to review it. berwick helped warren formulate her medicare for all plan, according to many media reports. johnson has cowritten a second analysis, with betsey stevenson of the university of michigan and mark zandi of moody’s analytics, that assesses warren’s plans to raise enough revenue to properly fund medicare for all. the bottom line, he says, is that the revenue raising and cost cutting estimates in warren’s proposal, relative to the urban institute’s estimates, are credible. “every projection has to deal with some uncertainty, but we feel confident there is less here because we were evaluating very specific and plausible policy choices,” johnson says. “the baseline government forecast of what will happen to costs under the current law is considerably more likely to be wrong on the downside that is, in being too low than warren’s plan for the simple reason that in a single payer system, you can control health care costs,” he says.”  https://www.managedcaremag.com/archives/2019/12/so how much would medicare all really cost good question you said: s] “normal wasn’t working.” [van gorp] a] really? the free market has created more wealth and raised more living standards than any other system. america was booming, and it will again. socialism never works. prove me wrong.” the free market has done wonderful things for many people. however, liberals would likely ultimately contend that the free market no longer exists, nor does the “invisible hand”. instead, liberals would likely argue that a heavy, yet subtle hand has been pushed on the scales of economic justice to favor the wealthier comparatively more and greater over the last several decades. as i said in my previous article about the economy, such things as the stock market are not good indicators for how things are going for the average american. look at what is happening now. the recent stock market rallies, even within a time when covid 19 is claiming tens of millions of jobs in a matter of weeks, is evidence that it benefits only a fraction of people and is therefore a reflection of only a fraction of people who hold the majority of stocks. your obsession with socialism is a constant source of amusement. it’s almost as if you think that most liberals and democrats advocate for a full blown socialist state, instead of capitalism to be reigned in. remember the heavy and visible hand weighing down economic justice? what do i mean by that? who writes the laws? i think you may find many liberals recognize that key bills are authored by large companies (with ideas to benefit themselves chiefly) and signed on by congressmembers who likely are financial beneficiaries of the same companies come election season. the fact is, it is not a fact that the more you work the better off you’ll be in this system we have. the ideal capital meritocracy does not exist for so many as you seem to believe it does. you said: s] “asian americans are being scapegoated for cv19.” [buckbee] a] where? big cities? no rational person would do that. china is being blamed, deservedly so. americans are overwhelmingly decent people, not racists.” when you say “china is being blamed” what do you mean? the government? the culture? the people? i would agree that americans are overwhelmingly good, decent people. but it does not take a vast majority to make problems for others. this means that “asian americans are being scapegoated for cv19” and “no rational person would do that” and “americans are overwhelmingly decent people, not racists” can all be true at the same time. it is not a dichotomy. you said: s] “trump called the coronavirus a hoax!” [buckbee, torgrimson] a] even the left leaning snopes called this stinker a lie and i quote, “trump did not call the coronavirus a hoax.” excuse us if we don’t hold our breath waiting for you haters to publish a retraction.” actually, snopes called this a mixture, not a “lie” (which i do not believe is even a categorical conclusion they provide). https://www.snopes.com/fact check/trump coronavirus rally remark/ and you quoted them wrong. i could wager a guess as to why, but i won’t. what you said snopes said was: “trump did not call the coronavirus a hoax” what snopes actually said was: “*despite creating some confusion with his remarks,* trump did not call the coronavirus *itself* a hoax.” and therein lies the confusion, likely from the authors you were responding to, and the media itself that reported such. this is what president trump actually said at the feb 28th rally:  feb 28th https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/donald trump charleston south carolina rally transcript february 28 2020 so, it’s clear to see that president trump wasn’t clear about what he meant. but, to his credit, he did clarify the next day.   feb 29th press conference: https://factba.se/transcript/donald trump press conference white house coronavirus february 29 2020 and that is quite understandable. the problem is, there was quite a bit of time between the original statement and the clarification. time where, due to the sincerely ambiguous remarks, the american public watching could reach their own conclusions as to what the president meant. i think something that most republicans and democrats alike can agree on is that president trump is not a great orator. hence the confusion and continue circulation of this belief. naturally, some people on the left will likely believe trump meant the virus itself, but backpedaled when advised to, something that is certainly not uncommon in his tactics. you said: “s] “the trump administration’s response has been total chaos.” [torgrimson] a] some things could have been done better. is it fair to say a phony collusion with russia investigation and an ill advised impeachment attempt caused unfortunate distractions? i think so. but many leaders had let their guard down. pandemic expert dr. anthony fauci was on the radio on january 25 telling us the risk to americans was “very, very low.” as late as march 11, democrat politicians [pelosi, schumer, de blasio, cuomo] were on mass media urging citizens to gather, go to movies, attend parades in chinatown, and pushing legislation in congress to curtail the president’s ability to enact travel bans. but the pandemic staff [you know, the one trump supposedly fired two years ago!] was intact and functioning. despite democrat opposition, trump wisely implemented travel bans experts say saved many thousands of lives, and set up a task force that has held hospitalizations and fatalities far below projections.” no. it is not fair to say that. what were the president’s responsibilities that were distracting him from this? and what did the president do during the month of february after this ended? dr. anthony fauci cdc director redfield were: “pretty certain that this was not transmitted human to human” given what the information coming out of china suggested in january. as for other officials encouraging people to go out and about, my question for you is, what were their resources compared to those of the president’s? were they right? no. they were wrong. but president trump did not provide any federal guidelines for coronavirus concerns. bill de blasio’s comments about going out “if you’re under 50 & healthy” should include the context that the knowledge of how covid19 may spread before symptoms show up wasn’t available yet. even now: “some reports have indicated that people with no symptoms can transmit the virus. it is not yet known how often it happens. who is assessing ongoing research on the topic and will continue to share updated findings” https://www.who.int/news room/q a detail/q a coronaviruses. without the resources nor guidance from the federal government, mistakes by states and state officials were made. even after march 13th, when the administration finally made the national emergency declaration, it forced states to compete with not only each other, but the federal government for acquiring the much anticipatedly needed medical equipment. as far as i can tell, congress’ push for the no ban act took place on march 11th, which had by far most of the co signatures *before* the coronavirus was even detected in china (meaning it predates all of this and wasn’t a response to the travel ban from china): https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th congress/house bill/2214/cosponsors?searchresultviewtype=expanded&kwicview=false additionally, a key point here is that roughly 40,000 people still came to america from china after this travel ban from china was enacted. clearly, that was enough for the virus to infect more americans than chinese. let us end with some thoughts. crimson contagion was a simulation designed to show u.s. blind spots. this was conducted last year. also, how often has president trump called upon the reduction of cdc funds (which congress denied)? finally, what do you think of the people marching in state capitals, even going so far as to block ambulances? joe says may 20, 2020 at 12:53 pm a response this long, full of big words and vague concepts, is obviously a untruthful i don’t even necessary disagree with your viewpoint, but, boy, you can do a better job explaining yourself. this would get a grade off “c” at best on a high school opinion piece assignment. aaron bishop says may 23, 2020 at 10:38 am greetings joe, full of big words? also, for more context of what i wrote and why, you’d need to go to the original article and follow the comments. cheers! jon trouten says may 18, 2020 at 4:52 pm how many commentaries and letters to the editor does the fcj need that assert why their neighbors who have different opinions hate the country and them? greg rendahl says may 18, 2020 at 11:25 am “american conservatism…founded on biblical/christian principles…” yes, murder the indians, enslave blacks and later try to never let them have full human rights, deny women the right to vote, deny lgbtq folks equal rights, fight against social security, medicare, medicaid, food stamps while endlessly pushing riches at the wealthy… “democratic socialism, based on…” the teachings of jesus. jesus was possibly the greatest promoter of the poor and denigrator of the wealthy in the history of the world. surely, you must know that. gatekeeper says may 18, 2020 at 3:22 pm lord jesus i repent of my sins and i would like you to be my lord and savior. amen the truth will set you free. christ says may 18, 2020 at 4:36 pm liar, i’m ashamed and embarrassed you bring your pony ass fairy tales into your definition of america, grow up. god says may 18, 2020 at 6:42 pm gatekeeper, for the love of me, stop your babbling! jeffrey erding says may 18, 2020 at 3:37 pm @ mr. rendahl, you are not just your usual ” frequently wrong” this time, you are amazingly, spectacularly wrong! blaming republicans for the persecution of native americans?? how could that be, when the republican party didn’t exist until the early 1860’s, and was organized mainly to oppose any expansion of slavery? it’s unfair to judge those who lived many decades ago by modern standards, but democrats like andrew jackson were the driving force behind the relocation of tribal people beyond the mississippi to western reservation lands deemed worthless to white settlers. slave owners and the politicians that supported them were all democrats, not republicans. the ku klux klan was formed and composed of only democrats, and continued to be so in the modern era with prominent democrat politicians providing support and leadership. republicans formed a party and nominated abraham lincoln as a successful presidential candidate. republicans prevailed over democrats in the civil war that ended slavery, and 100 years later overcame stubborn opposition from democrats to grant equal rights to black citizens. republicans do not oppose equal rights for lgbtq people, but we do reserve the right to refuse participation and support for actions which our properly held beliefs deem morally wrong, as is our right under the constitution. democrat policies have wreaked mass damage on the black community, destroying the family structure that children need to thrive, encouraging fatherlesness, discouraging marriage, creating a welfare state and government dependence with their poisonous, sickening bigotry of low expectation. the best social program is a job. and the trump administration and republicans have done more good for minorities and the poor in 3 years by accident than democrats under obama did on purpose in 8. democrats, the party of jesus???my goodness, what an imagination one must have to support that fantasy. mr. rendahl, your logic on that line of reasoning is just as faulty as your understanding of history…. which is to say, incomprehensively bad. greg rendahl says may 18, 2020 at 4:32 pm hi, jeff. you made a simple mistake with your response. i said nothing about republicans. i spoke of american conservatives. you also have not done well studying history if you blame political parties of long ago with today’s far different variations. yes, a job is a wonderful thing. it’s also especially nice if that job pays enough to live on and includes health insurance. sadly, many jobs simply keep people down while hoping they don’t get sick. if you think jesus would oppose food stamps, health care, and other assorted social programs then i feel sorry for your understanding of the gospels. jeffrey erding says may 18, 2020 at 5:57 pm @ rendahl, now you are trying to say you like republicans and blame ” conservatives”?? i know what you meant and so does everyone else, and splitting that hair does nothing to hide your stupendous lack of historical awareness…. either that, or the truth is no more important to you then it is to all the leftist zealots that pretend to be journalists in the msm. republicans don’t oppose social programs for those unable to work. america has a robust safety net for those who cannot pay for their own medical care. america is the fairest, most liberty oriented, greatest country the world has ever seen. the policies you and your leftist friends advocate have always failed miserably. you delude yourself if you deny that. as far as following christian beliefs, anyone who truly knows me would laugh in your face if you questioned my beliefs. if you have done more than i in the service of our lord, then you have been a very busy person. greg rendahl says may 19, 2020 at 8:19 am jeff, i did not split any hair. your understanding of american history is obviously very limited. why is trump trying to cut food stamps during this plague? why does trump want the supreme court to strike down obamacare and end coverage for pre existing conditions? why did so many republican governors refuse to improve medicaid for their citizens? america’s “safety net” has been forced on america even though most conservatives fought tooth and nail against their adoption. again, do you have any real knowledge of history? and finally, if you are truly a follower of christ, then i challenge you to read the gospels. i believe there are quite a number of people who call themselves christians and are very glad that christ died for their sins, but also glad that he is no longer walking around praising the poor and denigrating the wealthy. kim wentworth says may 22, 2020 at 12:51 am silly guy, i always thought you were a little bit off, but your latest response shows you are whacked. blame a republican on slavery??? do you ever get tired of being laughed at? ricky sandefur says september 14, 2020 at 7:01 am listen you trump idiot you are a laughing stock! gerald boyum says may 20, 2020 at 10:09 am 1. before i get to some of your comments: democratic socialism. “there is no difference in principle, between the economic philosophy of nazism, socialism, and communism, and fascism and that of the american welfare state and regulated economy.” (alexander’s essay   march 10, 2011) “…ultimately there is no consequential societal distinction between marxist socialism, national socialism, or the most recent incarnation of this beast, democratic socialism. the conclusion of socialism by any name, once it has replaced rule of law with the rule of men, is tyranny.” (ibid) this should be no surprise; they all have the same foundation  atheistic marxism. “every human government ever established, was the product of definable political theory; that is, each embraced a philosophy which, at least in its own eyes, justified its existence and manner of conducting affairs. the american government was no different. (david barton, in “original intent”) 2. “yes, murder the indians,…” a. no leftist should bring up appeals to emotion and feigned moral indignation by using the term “murder” which implies “genocide” when governments based on godless marxism killed over 100 million people in the 20th century alone. b. many indians perished as a result of diseases they contracted from exposure to smallpox, cholera and typhus. typical leftist tactics: distort, deceive, disinform, demonize, deny, etc. per saul alinsky’s “rules for radicals”! c. the people we call “native americans” or “indians” were not the 1st people to occupy america. what happened to these former occupants, and how do you suppose the indians acquired that land? dominant tribes, kingdoms, countries, etc. became “dominant” by subduing others, an activity practiced throughout history. this in no way is an attempt to justify such actions, but that’s the way it’s been from biblical times on, and things haven’t changed that much since. “might makes right”. this is why “peace through strength” is such an important national strategy. btw, various north american indian tribes indulged in torture and slavery of captured enemies as well, but i don’t think that they engaged in human sacrifice and cannibalism like the aztecs did. 3. “enslave blacks…”. here is another activity that was practiced throughout the world since the dawn of time. what is uniquely western is not slavery, but the abolition of slavery, thanks primarily to christians. from america’s founding to the end of the civil war, there were black slave owners in america. in 1830, there were 3,500 american black slave owners who together owned over 10,000 black slaves. it also should be noted that it was chieftains and “slave catchers” in africa who supplied traders with the slaves they transported and sold to other parts of the world, including america. 4. “democratic socialism, based on …’the teachings of jesus.”‘ a. here is the leftist distortion, “jesus the socialist” which is exactly the opposite of what jesus taught. socialism is based on atheistic marxism. this would mean that jesus did not believe that he was the son of god, co equal with god the father, because the philosophy of atheism is “the natural world is all there is; god or gods do not exist.”. b. jesus did not suggest that we give our earnings to lazy people (help needy, not greedy), nor did he mention that caesar should take money from the producers and give to the non producers. he taught that our excesses should be given voluntarily to those in need, not like socialism which gives to all, including sluggards. guess which political party members have acted to eliminate charitable organizations. here is what the bible teaches concerning this topic:   2nd thess. 3:10, “…if any will not work, neither let him eat.”   isa. 65:22. “they shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat…”   proverbs 14:23. “all hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.” c. while we’re on this topic, here are some more teachings from the bible in the book of exodus: (we all have violated most, if not all) of the commandments as individuals; however, leftism, as a political ideology, is built on violations of all ten commandments. here are some of the main ones:   20:3. “you shall have no other gods before me.” leftism/liberalism denies the existence (or relevance) of god.   20:15. “you shall not steal.” they embrace redistribution philosophies of marx in the quest for “material equality”.   20:16. “you shall not bear false witness.” the “ends justify the means” which includes lying about opponents of leftism.   20:17. “you shall not covet.” man’s inherent covetousness is used as the driving force behind all leftist/liberal economic policies; i.e, economic envy and class warfare. d. other comments about liberalism/leftism and the bible: 2 corinthians 11:4 addresses masquerading as doing “good” by deceptive “feel good” sound bites that promise “equality”, “tolerance” and “social justice”. a lot of good, well intended people have had the “wool pulled over their eyes” by politicians, educators, and media for a long time now. it’s no wonder that over 2/3rds of american no longer trust much of mainstream media now. the actual real world history tells a different story. socialism has failed everywhere it’s been tried  sometimes catastrophically. there will be “equality” alright  equally miserable in poverty, except for the elite who will designate themselves as :more equal” than others. people from venezuela and others have warned us many times about their “socialist utopia”. a vote for socialism is a vote against america! ken says may 20, 2020 at 12:17 pm thank you kim wentworth says may 22, 2020 at 12:47 am maybe write a book, good grief. jeremy olson says july 17, 2020 at 7:11 pm that’s actually a great idea. if you write a book, i would definately buy it! you have very good insights and i agree 100% with everything you have said. thank you! anonymous says july 19, 2020 at 9:03 pm i agree! olivia says july 19, 2020 at 9:05 pm i agree! very insightful , i enjoyed very much. cc says september 25, 2020 at 12:42 am brilliant kathy cobb says october 23, 2020 at 10:39 pm good grief, no one is saying that american is going to become the next china. no one is going to take your income and divide it so everyone will have the same wealth. democrats simply want taxes to go toward the betterment of people instead of feeding the rich and corporate bail outs, etc. you would think that wall street is a good example of capitalism but the bail out showed how much they rely on the government  that is socialism. socialism is not arriving in america, it has been a part of our culture for at least fifty years. there is no such thing as a purely capitalist society. every country you think of as purely capitalist has social programs to help others. you yourself have probably reaped the benefits of socialism: tax cuts, pell grants, welfare, medicare, medicaid, social security, public schools, public roads, public parks. these are all elements of socialism and work well with a democratic society. the problem with you republicans is that you assume anyone who is on government assistance is on it due to laziness. sure, there will always be those who take advantage of these programs, but more often than not, these people need real help. republicans want to believe no one else works, and everyone on government assistance wants to be there because then, you can be as selfish as you want to be without feeling guilty. right now, the biggest abusers of socialism are the rich: wall street bailouts, auto corporation bailouts, excessive tax cuts for the rich. you guys are fine with socialism when it benefits you, but put a needy person as the beneficiary of a program, and you start complaining. stop using the bible, jesus, and god as an excuse for your selfishness. the bible is nothing more than a lot of moral precepts written from the perspective of men. when you bring up the bible as your basis for why you are right; you lose the argument. christine h darges says december 28, 2020 at 10:07 pm actually your response is what the socialists / commies want you to feel and say. it’s part of subversion and their slow subtle trickery tactics. it is presented as a nice and easy approach where the intent is genuine. by definition, socialism is a last step before communism and nothing by itself. the slow transition to government programs means government control, which means you have lost your freedoms, so you are wrong about everything you wrote above. you need to read some literature and do some homework on marxism. mw says april 11, 2021 at 8:17 am finally i know your in my age for a fact 🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯😍😍& know these people are helpless without the government they don’t know how to harvest maybe don’t even plant or teach there childrens anything they think that woman are age are becoming more stronger there weak & is sad how they think that every woman are not married with morals & man paying all the bills these oldies maybe not your mom neither mines but these oldies make me laugh thankyou for put saying in a way that she is double minded robert says september 12, 2023 at 2:41 pm smart answer! boy this is a long thread of people throwing axes at each other. can we just try to follow the golden rule? please. truth teller says november 6, 2020 at 4:14 pm hey dumb a…. bet you like your other holier than now idiots…the bible was written by people hundreds of years after jesus died…with only selected passages .and transcribed from long obsolete aramaic language to greek then to latin undoubtedly with all kinds of mistake and the people born hundreds of years after jesus adding their own bias…jesus nor god said any of that d head b renee jainese says july 11, 2021 at 12:46 pm applause!!! an intelligent and concise portrayal of the truth! applause!! kim wentworth says may 22, 2020 at 12:46 am silly guy, i always thought you were a little bit off, but your latest response shows you are whacked. blame a republican on slavery??? do you ever get tired of being laughed at? nan yamane says november 6, 2020 at 7:44 pm kim, i’m not sure what you are saying?? really, i just wanted to post a comment about the editorial, the writer totally misses the point of the multi community struggle to oust 45. put a random sample of people in a room and you will likely find those who are repulsed by the president feel strongly because he is so unstable, he is delusional, he incites violence, he snorts when he talks (my petty grievance), and just as he is doing now, he constantly lies with the agility of a five year old! the democrats are unbelievably dense in running biden. dem organizers should roll up their sleeves, rally at the precinct level in poor precincts as well as the rich neighborhoods, they should promise to regulate the health care companies otherwise they will literally kill us, and they should court labor. to suggest that people dislike 45 because of ideological reasons is simply ridiculous. jeremy says november 23, 2020 at 5:43 am it’s you that is dense. benjamin david steele says december 11, 2020 at 8:41 am in poll after poll, the majority of americans state they don’t like or trust donald trump. but right wingers are suggesting that only liberals and leftists are critical of trump. are they finally admitting that most americans are on the political ‘left’? that said, it’s a bit odd to assert the majority is on the ‘left’, as doesn’t the majority by definiition represent the center. christine h darges says december 28, 2020 at 10:02 pm weren’t the polls wrong for the last 4 years? polls don’t produce anything anymore and no longer believable. mike says july 8, 2021 at 8:47 am christine obviously has no understanding of scientific type polls and looks at fb polls. trust me she probably believes every negative poll about democrats and post them online. your email address will not be published. required fields are marked * comment * name email website δdocument.getelementbyid( "ak_js_1" ).setattribute( "value", ( new date() ).gettime() ); fillmore county weather !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getelementsbytagname(s)[0];if(!d.getelementbyid(id)){js=d.createelement(s);js.id=id;js.src='https://weatherwidget.io/js/widget.min.js';fjs.parentnode.insertbefore(js,fjs);}}(document,'script','weatherwidget io js'); © 2025 · website design and hosting by smg web design of preston, mn.

the counterculture of the 1960s was an anti establishment cultural phenomenon and political movement that developed in the western world during the mid 20th century. it began in the early 1960s, and continued through the early 1970s.[3] it is often synonymous with cultural liberalism and with the various social changes of the decade. the effects of the movement[3] have been ongoing to the present day. the aggregate movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement in the united states had made significant progress, such as the voting rights act of 1965, and with the intensification of the vietnam war that same year, it became revolutionary to some.[4][5][6] as the movement progressed, widespread social tensions also developed concerning other issues, and tended to flow along generational lines regarding respect for the individual, human sexuality, women's rights, traditional modes of authority, rights of people of color, end of racial segregation, experimentation with psychoactive drugs, and differing interpretations of the american dream. many key movements related to these issues were born or advanced within the counterculture of the 1960s.[7] as the era unfolded, what emerged were new cultural forms and a dynamic subculture that celebrated experimentation, individuality,[8] modern incarnations of bohemianism, and the rise of the hippie and other alternative lifestyles. this embrace of experimentation is particularly notable in the works of popular musical acts such as the beatles, jimi hendrix, jim morrison, janis joplin and bob dylan, as well as of new hollywood, french new wave, and japanese new wave filmmakers, whose works became far less restricted by censorship. within and across many disciplines, many other creative artists, authors, and thinkers helped define the counterculture movement. everyday fashion experienced a decline of the suit and especially of the wearing of hats; other changes included the normalisation of long hair worn down for women (as well as many men at the time),[9] the popularization of traditional african, indian and middle eastern styles of dress (including the wearing of natural hair for those of african descent), the invention and popularization of the miniskirt which raised hemlines above the knees, as well as the development of distinguished, youth led fashion subcultures. styles based around jeans, for both men and women, became an important fashion movement that has continued up to the present day. several factors distinguished the counterculture of the 1960s from anti authoritarian movements of previous eras. the post world war ii baby boom[10][11] generated an unprecedented number of potentially disaffected youth as prospective participants in a rethinking of the direction of the united states and other democratic societies.[12] post war affluence allowed much of the counterculture generation to move beyond the provision of the material necessities of life that had preoccupied their depression era parents.[13] the era was also notable in that a significant portion of the array of behaviors and "causes" within the larger movement were quickly assimilated within mainstream society, particularly in the us, even though counterculture participants numbered in the clear minority within their respective national populations.[14][15] the cold war between communist and capitalist states involved espionage and preparation for war between powerful nations,[16][17] along with political and military interference by powerful states in the internal affairs of less powerful nations. poor outcomes from some of these activities set the stage for disillusionment with and distrust of post war governments.[18] examples included harsh responses from the soviet union (ussr) towards popular anti communist uprisings, such as the 1956 hungarian revolution and czechoslovakia's prague spring in 1968; and the botched us bay of pigs invasion of cuba in 1961. in the us, president dwight d. eisenhower's initial deception[19] over the nature of the 1960 u 2 incident resulted in the government being caught in a blatant lie at the highest levels, and contributed to a backdrop of growing distrust of authority among many who came of age during the period.[20][21][22] the partial test ban treaty divided the establishment within the us along political and military lines.[23][24][25] internal political disagreements concerning treaty obligations in southeast asia (seato), especially in vietnam, and debate as to how other communist insurgencies should be challenged, also created a rift of dissent within the establishment.[26][27][28] in the uk, the profumo affair also involved establishment leaders being caught in deception, leading to disillusionment and serving as a catalyst for liberal activism.[29] the cuban missile crisis, which brought the world to the brink of nuclear war in october 1962, was largely fomented by duplicitous speech and actions on the part of the soviet union.[30][31] the assassination of us president john f. kennedy in november 1963, and the attendant theories concerning the event, led to further diminished trust in government, including among younger people.[32][33][34] many social issues fueled the growth of the larger counterculture movement. one was a nonviolent movement in the united states seeking to resolve constitutional civil rights illegalities, especially regarding general racial segregation, longstanding disfranchisement of black people in the south by white dominated state government, and ongoing racial discrimination in jobs, housing, and access to public places in both the north and the south. on college and university campuses, student activists fought for the right to exercise their basic constitutional rights, especially freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.[35] many counterculture activists became aware of the plight of the poor, and community organizers fought for the funding of anti poverty programs, particularly in the south and within inner city areas in the united states.[36][37] environmentalism grew from a greater understanding of the ongoing damage caused by industrialization, resultant pollution, and the misguided use of chemicals such as pesticides in well meaning efforts to improve the quality of life for the rapidly growing population.[38] authors such as rachel carson played key roles in developing a new awareness among the global population of the fragility of our planet, despite resistance from elements of the establishment in many countries.[39] the need to address minority rights of women, gay people, the disabled, and many other neglected constituencies within the larger population came to the forefront as an increasing number of primarily younger people broke free from the constraints of 1950s orthodoxy and struggled to create a more inclusive and tolerant social landscape.[40][41] the availability of new and more effective forms of birth control was a key underpinning of the sexual revolution. the notion of "recreational sex" without the threat of unwanted pregnancy radically changed the social dynamic and permitted both women and men much greater freedom in the selection of sexual lifestyles outside the confines of traditional marriage.[42] with this change in attitude, by the 1990s the ratio of children born out of wedlock rose from 5% to 25% for whites and from 25% to 66% for african americans.[43] for those born after world war ii, the emergence of television as a source of entertainment and information as well as the associated massive expansion of consumerism afforded by post war affluence and encouraged by tv advertising were key components in creating disillusionment for some younger people and in the formulation of new social behaviours, even as ad agencies heavily courted the "hip" youth market.[44][45] in the us, nearly real time tv news coverage of the civil rights movement era's 1963 birmingham campaign, the "bloody sunday" event of the 1965 selma to montgomery marches, and graphic news footage from vietnam brought horrifying, moving images of the bloody reality of armed conflict into living rooms for the first time.[46] the breakdown of enforcement of the us hays code[47] concerning censorship in motion picture production, the use of new forms of artistic expression in european and asian cinema, and the advent of modern production values heralded a new era of art house, pornographic, and mainstream film production, distribution, and exhibition. the end of censorship resulted in a complete reformation of the western film industry. with new found artistic freedom, a generation of exceptionally talented new wave film makers working across all genres brought realistic depictions of previously prohibited subject matter to neighborhood theater screens for the first time, even as hollywood film studios were still considered a part of the establishment by some elements of the counterculture. successful 1960s new films of the new hollywood were bonnie and clyde, the graduate, the wild bunch, and dennis hopper's easy rider. other examples of hippie modernist cinema includes experimental short films made by figures like jordan belson and bruce conner, the concert film gimme shelter, medium cool, zabriskie point and punishment park.[48][49][50] by the later 1960s, previously under regarded fm radio replaced am radio as the focal point for the ongoing explosion of rock and roll music, and became the nexus of youth oriented news and advertising for the counterculture generation.[51][52] communes, collectives, and intentional communities regained popularity during this era.[53] early communities such as the hog farm, quarry hill, and drop city in the us were established as straightforward agrarian attempts to return to the land and live free of interference from outside influences. as the era progressed, many people established and populated new communities in response to not only disillusionment with standard community forms, but also dissatisfaction with certain elements of the counterculture itself. some of these self sustaining communities have been credited with the birth and propagation of the international green movement. the emergence of an interest in expanded spiritual consciousness, yoga, occult practices and increased human potential helped to shift views on organized religion during the era. in 1957, 69% of us residents polled by gallup said religion was increasing in influence. by the late 1960s, polls indicated less than 20% still held that belief.[54] the "generation gap", or the inevitable perceived divide in worldview between the old and young, was perhaps never greater than during the counterculture era.[55] a large measure of the generational chasm of the 1960s and early 1970s was born of rapidly evolving fashion and hairstyle trends that were readily adopted by the young, but often misunderstood and ridiculed by the old. these included the wearing of very long hair by men,[56] the wearing of natural or "afro" hairstyles by black people, the donning of revealing clothing by women in public, and the mainstreaming of the psychedelic clothing and regalia of the short lived hippie culture. ultimately, practical and comfortable casual apparel, namely updated forms of t shirts (often tie dyed, or emblazoned with political or advertising statements), and levi strauss branded blue denim jeans[57] became the enduring uniform of the generation, as daily wearing of suits along with traditional western dress codes declined in use. the fashion dominance of the counterculture effectively ended with the rise of the disco and punk rock eras in the later 1970s, even as the global popularity of t shirts, denim jeans, and casual clothing in general have continued to grow. in the western world, the ongoing criminal legal status of the recreational drug industry was instrumental in the formation of an anti establishment social dynamic by some of those coming of age during the counterculture era. the explosion of marijuana use during the era, in large part by students on fast expanding college campuses,[58] created an attendant need for increasing numbers of people to conduct their personal affairs in secret in the procurement and use of banned substances. the classification of marijuana as a narcotic, and the attachment of severe criminal penalties for its use, drove the act of smoking marijuana, and experimentation with substances in general, deep underground. many began to live largely clandestine lives because of their choice to use such drugs and substances, fearing retribution from their governments.[59][60] the confrontations between college students (and other activists) and law enforcement officials became one of the hallmarks of the era. many younger people began to show deep distrust of police, and terms such as "fuzz" and "pig" as derogatory epithets for police reappeared, and became key words within the counterculture lexicon. the distrust of police was based not only on fear of police brutality during political protests, but also on generalized police corruption especially police manufacture of false evidence, and outright entrapment, in drug cases. in the us, the social tension between elements of the counterculture and law enforcement reached the breaking point in many notable cases, including: the columbia university protests of 1968 in new york city,[61][62][63] the 1968 democratic national convention protests in chicago,[64][65][66] the arrest and imprisonment of john sinclair in ann arbor, michigan,[67] and the kent state shootings at kent state university in kent, ohio, where national guardsman acted as surrogates for police.[68] police malfeasance was also an ongoing issue in the uk during the era.[69] the vietnam war, and the protracted national divide between supporters and opponents of the war, were arguably the most important factors contributing to the rise of the larger counterculture movement. the widely accepted assertion that anti war opinion was held only among the young is a myth,[70][71] but enormous war protests consisting of thousands of mostly younger people in every major us city, and elsewhere across the western world, effectively united millions against the war, and against the war policy that prevailed under five us congresses and during two presidential administrations. the counterculture movement took hold in western europe, with london, amsterdam, paris, rome and milan, copenhagen and west berlin rivaling san francisco and new york as counterculture centers. the uk underground was a movement linked to the growing subculture in the us and associated with the hippie phenomenon, generating its own magazines and newspapers, fashion, music groups, and clubs. underground figure barry miles said, "the underground was a catch all sobriquet for a community of like minded anti establishment, anti war, pro rock'n'roll individuals, most of whom had a common interest in recreational drugs. they saw peace, exploring a widened area of consciousness, love and sexual experimentation as more worthy of their attention than entering the rat race. the straight, consumerist lifestyle was not to their liking, but they did not object to others living it. but at that time the middle classes still felt they had the right to impose their values on everyone else, which resulted in conflict."[72] in the netherlands, provo was a counterculture movement that focused on "provocative direct action ('pranks' and 'happenings') to arouse society from political and social indifference".[73][74] in france, the general strike centered in paris in may 1968 united french students, and nearly toppled the government.[75] kommune 1 or k1 was a commune in west berlin known for its bizarre staged events that fluctuated between satire and provocation. these events served as inspiration for the "sponti" movement and other leftist groups. in the late summer of 1968, the commune moved into a deserted factory on stephanstraße to reorient. this second phase of kommune 1 was characterized by sex, music and drugs. soon, the commune was receiving visitors from all over the world, including jimi hendrix.[76][77] mánička is a czech term used for young people with long hair, usually males, in czechoslovakia through the 1960s and 1970s. long hair for males during this time was considered an expression of political and social attitudes in communist czechoslovakia. from the mid 1960s, the long haired and "untidy" persons (so called máničky or vlasatci (in english: mops) were banned from entering pubs, cinema halls, theatres and using public transportation in several czech cities and towns.[78] in 1964, the public transportation regulations in most and litvínov excluded long haired máničky as displeasure evoking persons. two years later, the municipal council in poděbrady banned máničky from entering cultural institutions in the town.[78] in august 1966, rudé právo informed that máničky in prague were banned from visiting restaurants of the i. and ii. price category.[78] in 1966, during a big campaign coordinated by the communist party of czechoslovakia, around 4,000 young males were forced to cut their hair, often in the cells with the assistance of the state police.[79] on august 19, 1966, during a "safety intervention" organized by the state police, 140 long haired people were arrested. as a response, the "community of long haired" organized a protest in prague. more than 100 people cheered slogans such as "give us back our hair!" or "away with hairdressers!". the state police arrested the organizers and several participants of the meeting. some of them were given prison sentences.[78] according to the newspaper mladá fronta dnes, the czechoslovak ministry of interior in 1966 even compiled a detailed map of the frequency of occurrence of long haired males in czechoslovakia.[80] in august 1969, during the first anniversary of the soviet occupation of czechoslovakia, the long haired youth were one of the most active voices in the state protesting against the occupation.[78] youth protesters have been labeled as "vagabonds" and "slackers" by the official normalized press.[78] oz magazine was first published as a satirical humour magazine between 1963 and 1969 in sydney, and, in its second and better known incarnation, became a "psychedelic hippy" magazine from 1967 to 1973 in london. strongly identified as part of the underground press, it was the subject of two celebrated obscenity trials, one in australia in 1964 and the other in the united kingdom in 1971.[81][82] the digger was published monthly between 1972 and 1975 and served as a national outlet for many movements within australia's counterculture with notable contributors including second wave feminists anne summers and helen garner; californian cartoonist ron cobb's observations during a year long stay in the country; aboriginal activist cheryl buchanan (who was active in the 1972 setup of the aboriginal tent embassy;[83] and later partner of poet and activist lionel fogarty[84]) and radical scientist alan roberts (1925 2017[85]) on global warming and ongoing coverage of cultural trailblazers such as the australian performing group (aka pram factory), and emerging australian filmmakers. the digger was produced by an evolving collective, many of whom had previously produced counterculture newspapers revolution and high times, and all three of these magazines were co founded by publisher/editor phillip frazer, who launched australia's legendary pop music paper go set in 1966, when he was himself a teenager. in mexico, rock music was tied into the youth revolt of the 1960s. mexico city, as well as northern cities such as monterrey, nuevo laredo, ciudad juárez, and tijuana, were exposed to us music. many mexican rock stars became involved in the counterculture. the three day festival rock y ruedas de avándaro, held in 1971, was organized in the valley of avándaro near the city of toluca, a town neighboring mexico city, and became known as "the mexican woodstock". nudity, drug use, and the presence of the us flag scandalized conservative mexican society to such an extent that the government clamped down on rock and roll performances for the rest of the decade. the festival, marketed as proof of mexico's modernization, was never expected to attract the masses it did, and the government had to evacuate stranded attendees en masse at the end. this occurred during the era of president luis echeverría, an extremely repressive era in mexican history. anything that could be connected to the counterculture or student protests was prohibited from being broadcast on public airwaves, with the government fearing a repeat of the student protests of 1968. few bands survived the prohibition, though the ones that did, like three souls in my mind (now el tri), remained popular due in part to their adoption of spanish for their lyrics, but mostly as a result of a dedicated underground following. while mexican rock groups were eventually able to perform publicly by the mid 1980s, the ban prohibiting tours of mexico by foreign acts lasted until 1989.[86] the cordobazo was a civil uprising in the city of córdoba, argentina, in the end of may 1969, during the military dictatorship of general juan carlos onganía, which occurred a few days after the rosariazo, and a year after the french may '68. contrary to previous protests, the cordobazo did not correspond to previous struggles, headed by marxist workers' leaders, but associated students and workers in the same struggle against the military government.[87] the civil rights movement, a key element of the larger counterculture movement, involved the use of applied nonviolence to assure that equal rights guaranteed under the us constitution would apply to all citizens. many states illegally denied many of these rights to african americans, and this was partially successfully addressed in the early and mid 1960s in several major nonviolent movements.[88][89] the chicano movement of the 1960s, also called the chicano civil rights movement, was a civil rights movement extending the mexican american civil rights movement of the 1960s with the stated goal of achieving mexican american empowerment. the american indian movement (or aim) is a native american grassroots movement that was founded in july 1968 in minneapolis, minnesota.[90] a.i.m. was initially formed in urban areas to address systemic issues of poverty and police brutality against native americans.[91] a.i.m. soon widened its focus from urban issues to include many indigenous tribal issues that native american groups have faced due to settler colonialism of the americas, such as treaty rights, high rates of unemployment, education, cultural continuity, and preservation of indigenous cultures.[91][92] the asian american movement was a sociopolitical movement in which the widespread grassroots effort of asian americans affected racial, social and political change in the us, reaching its peak in the late 1960s to mid 1970s. during this period asian americans promoted antiwar and anti imperialist activism, directly opposing what was viewed as an unjust vietnam war. the american asian movement differs from previous asian american activism due to its emphasis on pan asianism and its solidarity with us and international third world movements. the nuyorican movement is a cultural and intellectual movement involving poets, writers, musicians and artists who are puerto rican or of puerto rican descent, who live in or near new york city, and either call themselves or are known as nuyoricans.[93] it originated in the late 1960s and early 1970s in neighborhoods such as loisaida, east harlem, williamsburg, and the south bronx as a means to validate puerto rican experience in the united states, particularly for poor and working class people who suffered from marginalization, ostracism, and discrimination. young cuban exiles in the united states would develop interests in cuban identity, and politics.[94] this younger generation had experienced the united states during the rising anti war movement, civil rights movement, and feminist movement of the 1960s, causing them to be influenced by radicals that encouraged political introspection, and social justice. figures like fidel castro and che guevara were also heavily praised among american student radicals at the time. these factors helped push some young cubans into advocating for different degrees of rapprochement with cuba.[citation needed] those most likely to become more radical were cubans who were more culturally isolated from being outside the cuban enclave of miami.[95] much of the 1960s counterculture originated on college campuses. the 1964 free speech movement at the university of california, berkeley, which had its roots in the civil rights movement of the southern united states, was one early example. at berkeley a group of students began to identify themselves as having interests as a class that were at odds with the interests and practices of the university and its corporate sponsors. other rebellious young people, who were not students, also contributed to the free speech movement.[96] the new left is a term used in different countries to describe left wing movements that occurred in the 1960s and 1970s in the western world. they differed from earlier leftist movements that had been more oriented towards labour activism, and instead adopted social activism. the american "new left" is associated with college campus mass protests and radical leftist movements. the british "new left" was an intellectually driven movement that attempted to correct the perceived errors of "old left" parties in the post world war ii period. the movements began to wind down in the 1970s, when activists either committed themselves to party projects, developed social justice organizations, moved into identity politics or alternative lifestyles, or became politically inactive.[97][98][99] the emergence of the new left in the 1950s and 1960s led to a revival of interest in libertarian socialism.[102] the new left's critique of the old left's authoritarianism was associated with a strong interest in personal liberty, autonomy (see the thinking of cornelius castoriadis) and led to a rediscovery of older socialist traditions, such as left communism, council communism, and the industrial workers of the world. the new left also led to a revival of anarchism. journals like radical america and black mask in america, solidarity, big flame and democracy & nature, succeeded by the international journal of inclusive democracy,[103] in the uk, introduced a range of left libertarian ideas to a new generation. social ecology, autonomism and, more recently, participatory economics (parecon), and inclusive democracy emerged from this. a surge of popular interest in anarchism occurred in western nations during the 1960s and 1970s.[104] anarchism was influential in the counterculture of the 1960s[105][106][107] and anarchists actively participated in the late 1960s students and workers revolts.[108] during the ix congress of the italian anarchist federation in carrara in 1965, a group decided to split off from this organization and created the gruppi di iniziativa anarchica. in the 1970s, it was mostly composed of "veteran individualist anarchists with a pacifism orientation, naturism, etc, ...".[109] in 1968, in carrara, italy the international of anarchist federations was founded during an international anarchist conference held there in 1968 by the three existing european federations of france, the italian and the iberian anarchist federation as well as the bulgarian federation in french exile.[110][111] during the events of may 68 the anarchist groups active in france were fédération anarchiste, mouvement communiste libertaire, union fédérale des anarchistes, alliance ouvrière anarchiste, union des groupes anarchistes communistes, noir et rouge, confédération nationale du travail, union anarcho syndicaliste, organisation révolutionnaire anarchiste, cahiers socialistes libertaires, à contre courant, la révolution prolétarienne, and the publications close to émile armand. the new left in the united states also included anarchist, countercultural and hippie related radical groups such as the yippies who were led by abbie hoffman, the diggers[112] and up against the wall motherfuckers. by late 1966, the diggers opened free stores which simply gave away their stock, provided free food, distributed free drugs, gave away money, organized free music concerts, and performed works of political art.[113] the diggers took their name from the original english diggers led by gerrard winstanley[114] and sought to create a mini society free of money and capitalism.[115] on the other hand, the yippies employed theatrical gestures, such as advancing a pig ("pigasus the immortal") as a candidate for president in 1968, to mock the social status quo.[116] they have been described as a highly theatrical, anti authoritarian and anarchist[117] youth movement of "symbolic politics".[118] since they were well known for street theater and politically themed pranks, many of the "old school" political left either ignored or denounced them. according to abc news, "the group was known for street theater pranks and was once referred to as the 'groucho marxists'."[119] in trafalgar square, london in 1958,[120] in an act of civil disobedience, 60,000 100,000 protesters made up of students and pacifists converged in what was to become the "ban the bomb" demonstrations.[121] opposition to the vietnam war began in 1964 on united states college campuses. student activism became a dominant theme among the baby boomers, growing to include many other demographic groups. exemptions and deferments for the middle and upper classes resulted in the induction of a disproportionate number of poor, working class, and minority registrants. countercultural books such as macbird by barbara garson and much of the counterculture music encouraged a spirit of non conformism and anti establishmentarianism. by 1968, the year after a large march to the united nations in new york city and a large protest at the pentagon were undertaken, a majority of people in the country opposed the war.[122] the application of nuclear technology, both as a source of energy and as an instrument of war, has been controversial.[123][124][125][126][127] scientists and diplomats have debated the nuclear weapons policy since before the atomic bombing of hiroshima in 1945.[128] the public became concerned about nuclear weapons testing from about 1954, following extensive nuclear testing in the pacific. in 1961 and 1962, at the height of the cold war, about 50,000 women brought together by women strike for peace marched in 60 cities in the united states to demonstrate against nuclear weapons.[129][130] in 1963, many countries ratified the partial test ban treaty which prohibited atmospheric nuclear testing.[131] some local opposition to nuclear power emerged in the early 1960s,[132] and in the late 1960s some members of the scientific community began to express their concerns.[133] in the early 1970s, there were large protests about a proposed nuclear power plant in wyhl, germany. the project was cancelled in 1975 and anti nuclear success at wyhl inspired opposition to nuclear power in other parts of europe and north america.[134] nuclear power became an issue of major public protest in the 1970s.[135] the role of women as full time homemakers in industrial society was challenged in 1963, when us feminist betty friedan published the feminine mystique, giving momentum to the women's movement and influencing what many called second wave feminism. other activists, such as gloria steinem and angela davis, either organized, influenced, or educated many of a younger generation of women to endorse and expand feminist thought. feminism gained further currency within the protest movements of the late 1960s, as women in movements such as students for a democratic society rebelled against the "support" role they believed they had been consigned to within the male dominated new left, as well as against perceived manifestations and statements of sexism within some radical groups. the 1970 pamphlet women and their bodies, soon expanded into the 1971 book our bodies, ourselves, was particularly influential in bringing about the new feminist consciousness.[136] the 1960s counterculture embraced a back to the land ethic, and communes of the era often relocated to the country from cities. influential books of the 1960s included rachel carson's silent spring and paul ehrlich's the population bomb. counterculture environmentalists were quick to grasp the implications of ehrlich's writings on overpopulation, the hubbert "peak oil" prediction, and more general concerns over pollution, litter, the environmental effects of the vietnam war, automobile dependent lifestyles, and nuclear energy. more broadly they saw that the dilemmas of energy and resource allocation would have implications for geo politics, lifestyle, environment, and other dimensions of modern life. the "back to nature" theme was already prevalent in the counterculture by the time of the 1969 woodstock festival, while the first earth day in 1970 was significant in bringing environmental concerns to the forefront of youth culture. at the start of the 1970s, counterculture oriented publications like the whole earth catalog and the mother earth news were popular, out of which emerged a back to the land movement. the 1960s and early 1970s counterculture were early adopters of practices such as recycling and organic farming long before they became mainstream. the counterculture interest in ecology progressed well into the 1970s: particularly influential were new left eco anarchist murray bookchin, jerry mander's criticism of the effects of television on society, ernest callenbach's novel ecotopia, edward abbey's fiction and non fiction writings, and e. f. schumacher's economics book small is beautiful. also in these years environmentalist global organizations arose, as greenpeace and world wide fund for nature (wwf). the national farmers organization (nfo) is a producerist movement founded in 1955. it became notorious for being associated with property violence and threats committed without official approval of the organization, from a 1964 incident when two members were crushed under the rear wheels of a cattle truck, for orchestrating the withholding of commodities, and for opposition to co ops unwilling to withhold. during withholding protests, farmers would purposely destroy food or wastefully slaughter their animals in an attempt to raise prices and gain media exposure. the nfo failed to persuade the us government to establish a quota system as is currently practiced today in the milk, cheese, eggs and poultry supply management programs in canada. the stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of june 28, 1969, at the stonewall inn, a gay bar in the greenwich village neighborhood of new york city. this is frequently cited as the first instance in us history when people in the gay community fought back against a government sponsored system that persecuted them, and became the defining event that marked the start of the gay rights movement in the united states and around the world. mod is a subculture that began in london and spread throughout great britain and elsewhere, eventually influencing fashions and trends in other countries,[137] and continues today on a smaller scale. focused on music and fashion, the subculture has its roots in a small group of stylish london based young men in the late 1950s who were termed modernists because they listened to modern jazz.[138] elements of the mod subculture include fashion (often tailor made suits); music (including soul, rhythm and blues, ska, jazz, and later splintering off into rock and freakbeat after the peak mod era); and motor scooters (usually lambretta or vespa). the original mod scene was associated with amphetamine fuelled all night dancing at clubs.[139] during the early to mid 1960s, as mod grew and spread throughout the uk, certain elements of the mod scene became engaged in well publicised clashes with members of rival subculture, rockers. the mods and rockers conflict led sociologist stanley cohen to use the term "moral panic" in his study about the two youth subcultures,[140] which examined media coverage of the mod and rocker riots in the 1960s.[141] by 1965, conflicts between mods and rockers began to subside and mods increasingly gravitated towards pop art and psychedelia. london became synonymous with fashion, music, and pop culture in these years, a period often referred to as "swinging london". during this time, mod fashions spread to other countries and became popular in the united states and elsewhere with mod now viewed less as an isolated subculture, but emblematic of the larger youth culture of the era. after the january 14, 1967, human be in in san francisco organized by artist michael bowen, the media's attention on culture was fully activated.[142] in 1967, scott mckenzie's rendition of the song "san francisco (be sure to wear flowers in your hair)" brought as many as 100,000 young people from all over the world to celebrate san francisco's "summer of love". while the song had originally been written by john phillips of the mamas & the papas to promote the june 1967 monterey pop festival, it became an instant hit worldwide (#4 in the united states, no. 1 in europe) and quickly transcended its original purpose. san francisco's flower children, also called "hippies" by local newspaper columnist herb caen, adopted new styles of dress, experimented with psychedelic drugs, lived communally and developed a vibrant music scene. when people returned home from "the summer of love" these styles and behaviors spread quickly from san francisco and berkeley to many us and canadian cities and european capitals. some hippies formed communes to live as far outside of the established system as possible. this aspect of the counterculture rejected active political engagement with the mainstream and, following the dictate of timothy leary to "turn on, tune in, drop out", hoped to change society by dropping out of it. looking back on his own life (as a harvard professor) prior to 1960, leary interpreted it to have been that of "an anonymous institutional employee who drove to work each morning in a long line of commuter cars and drove home each night and drank martinis ... like several million middle class, liberal, intellectual robots." as members of the hippie movement grew older and moderated their lives and their views, and especially after us involvement in the vietnam war ended in the mid 1970s, the counterculture was largely absorbed by the mainstream, leaving a lasting impact on philosophy, morality, music, art, alternative health and diet, lifestyle and fashion. in addition to a new style of clothing, philosophy, art, music and various views on anti war, and anti establishment, some hippies decided to turn away from modern society and re settle on ranches, or communes. the very first of communes in the united states was on a seven acre tract of land in southeastern colorado, named drop city. according to timothy miller,[143] "drop city brought together most of the themes that had been developing in other recent communities anarchy, pacifism, sexual freedom, rural isolation, interest in drugs, art and wrapped them flamboyantly into a commune not quite like any that had gone before" many of the inhabitants practiced acts like reusing trash and recycled materials to build geodesic domes for shelter and other various purposes, using various drugs like marijuana and lsd, and creating various pieces of drop art. after the initial success of drop city, visitors would take the idea of communes and spread them. another commune called "the ranch" was very similar to the culture of drop city, as well as new concepts like giving children of the commune extensive freedoms known as "children's rights".[144] there were many hippie communes in new mexico, including new buffalo[145] and tawapa.[146] during the 1960s, this second group of casual lysergic acid diethylamide (lsd) users evolved and expanded into a subculture that extolled the mystical and religious symbolism often engendered by the drug's powerful effects, and advocated its use as a method of expanding consciousness. the personalities associated with the subculture, gurus such as timothy leary and psychedelic rock musicians such as the grateful dead, pink floyd, jimi hendrix, the byrds, janis joplin, the doors, and the beatles, soon attracted a great deal of publicity, generating further interest in lsd. the popularization of lsd outside of the medical world was hastened when individuals such as ken kesey participated in drug trials and liked what they saw. tom wolfe wrote a widely read account of these early days of lsd's entrance into the non academic world in his book the electric kool aid acid test, which documented the cross country, acid fueled voyage of ken kesey and the merry pranksters on the psychedelic bus furthur and the pranksters' later "acid test" lsd parties. in 1965, sandoz laboratories stopped its still legal shipments of lsd to the united states for research and psychiatric use, after a request from the us government concerned about its use. by april 1966, lsd use had become so widespread that time magazine warned about its dangers.[147] in december 1966, the exploitation film hallucination generation was released.[citation needed] this was followed by the trip in 1967 and psych out in 1968. as most research on psychedelics began in the 1940s and 1950s, heavy experimentation made its effect in the 1960s during this era of change and movement. researchers were gaining acknowledgment and popularity with their promotion of psychedelia. this really anchored the change that counterculture instigators and followers began. most research was conducted at top collegiate institutes, such as harvard university. timothy leary and his harvard research team had hopes for potential changes in society. their research began with psilocybin mushrooms and was called the harvard psilocybin project. in one study known as the concord prison experiment, leary investigated the potential for psilocybin to reduce recidivism in criminals being released from prison. after the research sessions, leary did a follow up. he found that "75% of the turned on prisoners who were released had stayed out of jail."[148] he believed he had solved the nation's crime problem. but with many officials skeptical, this breakthrough was not promoted. because of the personal experiences with these drugs, leary and his many outstanding colleagues, including aldous huxley (the doors of perception) and alan watts (the joyous cosmology), believed that these were the mechanisms that could bring peace to not only the nation but the world. as their research continued the media followed them and published their work and documented their behavior, the trend of this counterculture drug experimentation began.[149] leary made attempts to bring more organized awareness to people interested in the study of psychedelics. he confronted the senate committee in washington and recommended for colleges to authorize the conduction of laboratory courses in psychedelics. he noted that these courses would "end the indiscriminate use of lsd and would be the most popular and productive courses ever offered".[150] although these men were seeking an ultimate enlightenment, reality eventually proved that the potential they thought was there could not be reached, at least in this time. the change they sought for the world had not been permitted by the political systems of all the nations these men pursued their research in. ram dass states, "tim and i actually had a chart on the wall about how soon everyone would be enlightened ... we found out that real change is harder. we downplayed the fact that the psychedelic experience isn't for everyone."[148] ken kesey and his merry pranksters helped shape the developing character of the 1960s counterculture when they embarked on a cross country voyage during the summer of 1964 in a psychedelic school bus named furthur.[151] beginning in 1959, kesey had volunteered as a research subject for medical trials financed by the cia's mk ultra project. these trials tested the effects of lsd, psilocybin, mescaline, and other psychedelic drugs. after the medical trials, kesey continued experimenting on his own, and involved many close friends; collectively they became known as the "merry pranksters". the pranksters visited harvard lsd proponent timothy leary at his millbrook, new york, retreat, and experimentation with lsd and other psychedelic drugs, primarily as a means for internal reflection and personal growth, became a constant during the prankster trip. the pranksters created a direct link between the 1950s beat generation and the 1960s psychedelic scene; the bus was driven by beat icon neal cassady, beat poet allen ginsberg was on board for a time, and they dropped in on cassady's friend, beat author jack kerouac though kerouac declined to participate in the prankster scene. after the pranksters returned to california, they popularized the use of lsd at so called "acid tests", which initially were held at kesey's home in la honda, california, and then at many other west coast venues. the cross country trip and prankster experiments were documented in tom wolfe's the electric kool aid acid test, a masterpiece of new journalism.[152] experimentation with lsd, dmt, peyote, psilocybin mushrooms, mda, marijuana, and other psychedelic drugs became a major component of 1960s counterculture, influencing philosophy, art, music and styles of dress. jim derogatis wrote that peyote, a small cactus containing the psychedelic alkaloid mescaline, was widely available in austin, texas, a countercultural hub in the early 1960s.[153] the sexual revolution (also known as a time of "sexual liberation") was a social movement that challenged traditional codes of behavior related to sexuality and interpersonal relationships throughout the western world from the 1960s to the 1980s. contraception and the pill, public nudity, the normalization of premarital sex, homosexuality and alternative forms of sexuality, and the legalization of abortion all followed.[154][155] underground newspapers sprang up in most cities and college towns, serving to define and communicate the range of phenomena that defined the counterculture: radical political opposition to "the establishment", colorful experimental (and often explicitly drug influenced) approaches to art, music and cinema, and uninhibited indulgence in sex and drugs as a symbol of freedom. the papers also often included comic strips, from which the underground comix were an outgrowth. as numbers of young people became alienated from social norms, they resisted and looked for alternatives. the forms of escape and resistance manifest in many ways including social activism, alternative lifestyles, dress, music and alternative recreational activities, including that of throwing a frisbee. from hippies tossing the frisbee at festivals and concerts came today's popular disc sports.[156][157] disc sports such as disc freestyle, double disc court, disc guts, ultimate and disc golf became this sport's first events.[158][159] the situationist international was a restricted group of international revolutionaries founded in 1957, and which had its peak in its influence on the unprecedented general wildcat strikes of may 1968 in france. with their ideas rooted in marxism and the 20th century european artistic avant gardes, they advocated experiences of life being alternative to those admitted by the capitalist order, for the fulfillment of human primitive desires and the pursuing of a superior passional quality. for this purpose they suggested and experimented with the construction of situations, namely the setting up of environments favorable for the fulfillment of such desires. using methods drawn from the arts, they developed a series of experimental fields of study for the construction of such situations, like unitary urbanism and psychogeography. they fought against the main obstacle on the fulfillment of such superior passional living, identified by them in advanced capitalism. their theoretical work peaked on the highly influential book the society of the spectacle by guy debord. debord argued in 1967 that spectacular features like mass media and advertising have a central role in an advanced capitalist society, which is to show a fake reality to mask the real capitalist degradation of human life. raoul vaneigem wrote the revolution of everyday life which takes the field of "everyday life" as the ground upon which communication and participation can occur, or, as is more commonly the case, be perverted and abstracted into pseudo forms. fluxus (a name taken from a latin word meaning "to flow") is an international network of artists, composers and designers noted for blending different artistic media and disciplines in the 1960s. they have been active in neo dada noise music, visual art, literature, urban planning, architecture, and design. fluxus is often described as intermedia, a term coined by fluxus artist dick higgins in a famous 1966 essay. fluxus encouraged a "do it yourself" aesthetic, and valued simplicity over complexity. like dada before it, fluxus included a strong current of anti commercialism and an anti art sensibility, disparaging the conventional market driven art world in favor of an artist centered creative practice. as fluxus artist robert filliou wrote, however, fluxus differed from dada in its richer set of aspirations, and the positive social and communitarian aspirations of fluxus far outweighed the anti art tendency that also marked the group. in the 1960s, the dada influenced art group black mask declared that revolutionary art should be "an integral part of life, as in primitive society, and not an appendage to wealth."[160] black mask disrupted cultural events in new york by giving made up flyers of art events to the homeless with the lure of free drinks.[161] after, the motherfuckers grew out of a combination of black mask and another group called angry arts. up against the wall motherfuckers (often referred to as simply "the motherfuckers", or uaw/mf) was an anarchist affinity group based in new york city. the 60s were a leap in human consciousness. mahatma gandhi, malcolm x, martin luther king, che guevara, mother teresa, they led a revolution of conscience. the beatles, the doors, jimi hendrix created revolution and evolution themes. the music was like dalí, with many colors and revolutionary ways. the youth of today must go there to find themselves. bob dylan's early career as a protest singer had been inspired by his hero woody guthrie,[163]: 25 and his iconic lyrics and protest anthems helped propel the folk revival of the 1960s, which was arguably the first major sub movement of the counterculture. although dylan was first popular for his protest music, the song mr. tambourine man saw a stylistic shift in dylan's work, from topical to abstract and imaginative, included some of the first uses of surrealistic imagery in popular music and has been viewed as a call to drugs such as lsd. the beach boys' 1966 album pet sounds served as a major source of inspiration for other contemporary acts, most notably directly inspiring the beatles' sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band. the single "good vibrations" soared to number one globally, completely changing the perception of what a record could be.[164] it was during this period that the highly anticipated album smile was to be released. however, the project collapsed and the beach boys released a stripped down and reimagined version called smiley smile, which failed to make a big commercial impact but was also highly influential, most notably on the who's pete townshend. the beatles went on to become the most prominent commercial exponents of the "psychedelic revolution" (e.g., revolver, sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band and magical mystery tour) in the late 1960s.[165] detroit's mc5 also came out of the underground rock music scene of the late 1960s. they introduced a more aggressive evolution of garage rock which was often fused with sociopolitical and countercultural lyrics of the era, such as in the song "motor city is burning" (a john lee hooker cover adapting the story of the detroit race riot of 1943 to the detroit riot of 1967). mc5 had ties to radical leftist organizations such as "up against the wall motherfuckers" and john sinclair's white panther party.[163]: 117 another hotbed of the 1960s counterculture was austin, texas, with two of the era's legendary music venues the vulcan gas company and the armadillo world headquarters and musical talent like janis joplin, the 13th floor elevators, shiva's headband, the conqueroo, and, later, stevie ray vaughan. austin was also home to a large new left activist movement, one of the earliest underground papers, the rag, and cutting edge graphic artists like fabulous furry freak brothers creator gilbert shelton, underground comix pioneer jack jackson (jaxon), and surrealist armadillo artist jim franklin.[166] the 1960s was also an era of rock festivals, which played an important role in spreading the counterculture across the us.[167] the monterey pop festival, which launched hendrix's career in the us, was one of the first of these festivals.[168] the 1969 woodstock festival in new york state became a symbol of the movement,[169] although the 1970 isle of wight festival drew a larger crowd.[163]: 58 some believe the era came to an abrupt end with the infamous altamont free concert held by the rolling stones, in which heavy handed security from the hells angels resulted in the stabbing of an audience member, apparently in self defense, as the show descended into chaos.[170] the 1960s saw the protest song gain a sense of political self importance, with phil ochs's "i ain't marching anymore" and country joe and the fish's "i feel like i'm fixin' to die rag" among the many anti war anthems that were important to the era.[163] free jazz is an approach to jazz music that was first developed in the 1950s and 1960s. although the music produced by free jazz composers varied widely, the common feature was a dissatisfaction with the limitations of bebop, hard bop, and modal jazz, which had developed in the 1940s and 1950s. each in their own way, free jazz musicians attempted to alter, extend, or break down the conventions of jazz, often by discarding hitherto invariable features of jazz, such as fixed chord changes or tempos. while usually considered experimental and avant garde, free jazz has also oppositely been conceived as an attempt to return jazz to its "primitive", often religious roots, and emphasis on collective improv. free jazz is strongly associated with the 1950s innovations of ornette coleman and cecil taylor and the later works of saxophonist john coltrane. other important pioneers included charles mingus, eric dolphy, albert ayler, archie shepp, joe maneri and sun ra. although today "free jazz" is the generally used term, many other terms were used to describe the loosely defined movement, including "avant garde", "energy music" and "the new thing". during its early and mid 60s heyday, much free jazz was released by established labels such as prestige, blue note and impulse, as well as independents such as esp disk and byg actuel. free improv or free music is improvised music without any rules beyond the logic or inclination of the musician(s) involved. the term can refer to both a technique (employed by any musician in any genre) and as a recognizable genre in its own right. free improvisation as a genre of music, developed in the us and europe in the mid  to late 1960s, largely as an outgrowth of free jazz and modern classical musics. none of its primary exponents can be said to be famous within the mainstream; however, in experimental circles, a number of free musicians are well known, including saxophonists evan parker, anthony braxton, peter brötzmann and john zorn, drummer christian lillinger, trombonist george e. lewis, guitarists derek bailey, henry kaiser and fred frith and the improvising groups the art ensemble of chicago and amm. allmusic guide states that "until around 1967, the worlds of jazz and rock were nearly completely separate".[171] the term, "jazz rock" (or "jazz/rock") is often used as a synonym for the term "jazz fusion". however, some make a distinction between the two terms. the free spirits have sometimes been cited as the earliest jazz rock band.[172] during the late 1960s, at the same time that jazz musicians were experimenting with rock rhythms and electric instruments, rock groups such as cream and the grateful dead were "beginning to incorporate elements of jazz into their music" by "experimenting with extended free form improvisation". other "groups such as blood, sweat & tears directly borrowed harmonic, melodic, rhythmic and instrumentational elements from the jazz tradition".[173] the rock groups that drew on jazz ideas (like soft machine, colosseum, caravan, nucleus, chicago, spirit and frank zappa) turned the blend of the two styles with electric instruments.[174] since rock often emphasized directness and simplicity over virtuosity, jazz rock generally grew out of the most artistically ambitious rock subgenres of the late 1960s and early 70s: psychedelia, progressive rock, and the singer songwriter movement.[175] miles davis' bitches brew sessions, recorded in august 1969 and released the following year, mostly abandoned jazz's usual swing beat in favor of a rock style backbeat anchored by electric bass grooves. the recording "mixed free jazz blowing by a large ensemble with electronic keyboards and guitar, plus a dense mix of percussion."[176] davis also drew on the rock influence by playing his trumpet through electronic effects and pedals. while the album gave davis a gold record, the use of electric instruments and rock beats created a great deal of consternation among some more conservative jazz critics. the counterculture was not only affected by cinema, but was also instrumental in the provision of era relevant content and talent for the film industry. bonnie and clyde struck a chord with the youth as "the alienation of the young in the 1960s was comparable to the director's image of the 1930s."[177] films of this time also focused on the changes happening in the world. a sign of this was the visibility that the hippie subculture gained in various mainstream and underground media. hippie exploitation films are 1960s exploitation films about the hippie counterculture[178] with stereotypical situations associated with the movement such as marijuana and lsd use, sex and wild psychedelic parties. examples include the love ins, psych out, the trip, and wild in the streets. the musical play hair, soon to be adapted into film by milos forman a decade later, shocked stage audiences with full frontal nudity. dennis hopper's "road trip" adventure easy rider (1969) became accepted as one of the landmark films of the era.[179] medium cool portrayed the 1968 democratic convention alongside the 1968 chicago police riots.[180] inaugurated by the 1969 release of andy warhol's blue movie, the phenomenon of adult erotic films being publicly discussed by celebrities (like johnny carson and bob hope),[181] and taken seriously by critics (like roger ebert),[182][183] a development referred to, by ralph blumenthal of the new york times, as "porno chic", and later known as the golden age of porn, began, for the first time, in modern american culture.[181][184][185] according to award winning author toni bentley, radley metzger's 1976 film the opening of misty beethoven, based on the play pygmalion by george bernard shaw (and its derivative, my fair lady), is considered the "crown jewel" of this 'golden age'.[186][187] in france the new wave was a blanket term coined by critics for a group of french filmmakers of the late 1950s and 1960s, influenced by italian neorealism and classical hollywood cinema. although never a formally organized movement, the new wave filmmakers were linked by their self conscious rejection of classical cinematic form and their spirit of youthful iconoclasm and is an example of european art cinema. many also engaged in their work with the social and political upheavals of the era, making their radical experiments with editing, visual style and narrative part of a general break with the conservative paradigm. the left bank, or rive gauche, group is a contingent of filmmakers associated with the french new wave, first identified as such by richard roud.[188] the corresponding "right bank" group comprises the more famous and financially successful new wave directors associated with cahiers du cinéma (claude chabrol, françois truffaut, and jean luc godard).[188] left bank directors include chris marker, alain resnais, and agnès varda.[188] roud described a distinctive "fondness for a kind of bohemian life and an impatience with the conformity of the right bank, a high degree of involvement in literature and the plastic arts, and a consequent interest in experimental filmmaking", as well as an identification with the political left.[188] other film "new waves" from around the world associated with the 1960s are new german cinema, czechoslovak new wave, brazilian cinema novo and japanese new wave. during the 1960s, the term "art film" began to be much more widely used in the united states than in europe. in the us, the term is often defined very broadly, to include foreign language (non english) "auteur" films, independent films, experimental films, documentaries and short films. in the 1960s "art film" became a euphemism in the us for racy italian and french b movies. by the 1970s, the term was used to describe sexually explicit european films with artistic structure such as the swedish film i am curious (yellow). the 1960s was an important period in art film; the release of a number of groundbreaking films giving rise to the european art cinema which had countercultural traits in filmmakers such as michelangelo antonioni, federico fellini, pier paolo pasolini, luis buñuel and bernardo bertolucci. cultural historians such as theodore roszak in his 1986 essay "from satori to silicon valley" and john markoff in his book what the dormouse said,[189] have pointed out that many of the early pioneers of personal computing emerged from within the west coast counterculture. many early computing and networking pioneers, after discovering lsd and roaming the campuses of uc berkeley, stanford, and mit in the late 1960s and early 1970s, would emerge from this caste of social "misfits" to shape the modern world of technology, especially in silicon valley. many hippies rejected mainstream organized religion in favor of a more personal spiritual experience, often drawing on indigenous and folk beliefs. if they adhered to mainstream faiths, hippies were likely to embrace buddhism, daoism, unitarian universalism and the restorationist christianity of the jesus movement. in hippies and american values timothy miller described the hippie culture as essentially a "religious movement" whose goal was to transcend the limitations of mainstream religious institutions: like many dissenting religions, the hippies were enormously hostile to the religious institutions of the dominant culture, and they tried to find new and adequate ways to do the tasks the dominant religions failed to perform.[190] some hippies embraced neo paganism, especially wicca. wicca is a witchcraft religion which became more prominent beginning in 1951, with the repeal of the witchcraft act 1735, after which gerald gardner and then others such as charles cardell and cecil williamson began publicising their own versions of the craft. gardner and others never used the term "wicca" as a religious identifier, simply referring to the "witch cult", "witchcraft", and the "old religion". however, gardner did refer to witches as "the wica".[191] during the 1960s, the name of the religion normalised to "wicca".[192][193] gardner's tradition, later termed gardnerianism, soon became the dominant form in england and spread to other parts of the british isles. following gardner's death in 1964, the craft continued to grow unabated despite sensationalism and negative portrayals in british tabloids, with new traditions being propagated by figures like robert cochrane, sybil leek and most importantly alex sanders, whose alexandrian wicca, which was predominantly based upon gardnerian wicca, albeit with an emphasis placed on ceremonial magic, spread quickly and gained much media attention. in his seminal, contemporaneous work, the hippie trip, author lewis yablonsky notes that those who were most respected in hippie settings were the spiritual leaders, the so called "high priests" who emerged during that era.[194] one such hippie "high priest" was san francisco state college instructor stephen gaskin. beginning in 1966, gaskin's "monday night class" eventually outgrew the lecture hall, and attracted 1,500 hippie followers in an open discussion of spiritual values, drawing from christian, buddhist, and hindu teachings. in 1970, gaskin founded a tennessee community called the farm, and he still lists his religion as "hippie".[195][196] timothy leary was an american psychologist and writer, known for his advocacy of psychedelic drugs. on september 19, 1966, leary founded the league for spiritual discovery, a religion declaring lsd as its holy sacrament, in part as an unsuccessful attempt to maintain legal status for the use of lsd and other psychedelics for the religion's adherents based on a "freedom of religion" argument. the psychedelic experience was the inspiration for john lennon's song "tomorrow never knows" in the beatles' album revolver.[197] he published a pamphlet in 1967 called start your own religion to encourage just that (see below under "writings") and was invited to attend the january 14, 1967 human be in a gathering of 30,000 hippies in san francisco's golden gate park in speaking to the group, he coined the famous phrase "turn on, tune in, drop out".[198] the principia discordia is the founding text of discordianism written by greg hill (malaclypse the younger) and kerry wendell thornley (lord omar khayyam ravenhurst). it was originally published under the title "principia discordia or how the west was lost" in a limited edition of five copies in 1965. the title, literally meaning "discordant principles", is in keeping with the tendency of latin to prefer hypotactic grammatical arrangements. in english, one would expect the title to be "principles of discord".[199] when recruiting for the hare krishna movement in the united states the international society for krishna consciousness (iskcon) deliberately devised strategies to align the movement's practices and belief system with the 1960s american counterculture to attract the interest of new recruits. iskcon established its first temple in new york city in 1966. most of its members were young people who identified with counter culture. many had been involved in protest groups and joined iskcon from other political or religious movements. one survey of iskcon members in berkeley and los angeles found that most members opposed the vietnam war, held very negative views on the united states government, educational system and consumer culture.[200] members running for political office under instructions from a. c. bhaktivedanta swami prabhupada campaigned on presenting krishna as a solution to america's ongoing moral deterioration. although the movement was not successful in american politics the campaigns enhanced krishna's public image as being aligned with the political movements of the counterculture activists and youth. prabhupada stopped financing candidates in 1974.[200] the lasting impact (including unintended consequences), creative output, and general legacy of the counterculture era continue to be actively discussed, debated, despised and celebrated. even the notions of when the counterculture subsumed the beat generation, when it gave way to the successor generation, and what happened in between are open for debate. according to notable uk underground and counterculture author barry miles,[201] it seemed to me that the seventies was when most of the things that people attribute to the sixties really happened: this was the age of extremes, people took more drugs, had longer hair, weirder clothes, had more sex, protested more violently and encountered more opposition from the establishment. it was the era of sex and drugs and rock'n'roll, as ian dury said. the countercultural explosion of the 1960s really only involved a few thousand people in the uk and perhaps ten times that in the usa largely because of opposition to the vietnam war, whereas in the seventies the ideas had spread out across the world. a columbia university teaching unit on the counterculture era notes: "although historians disagree over the influence of the counterculture on american politics and society, most describe the counterculture in similar terms. virtually all authors for example, on the right, robert bork in slouching toward gomorrah: modern liberalism and american decline (new york: regan books,1996) and, on the left, todd gitlin in the sixties: years of hope, days of rage (new york: bantam books, 1987) characterize the counterculture as self indulgent, childish, irrational, narcissistic, and even dangerous. even so, many liberal and leftist historians find constructive elements in it, while those on the right tend not to."[202] actor john wayne equated aspects of 1960s social programs with the rise of the welfare state, "i know all about that. in the late twenties, when i was a sophomore at usc, i was a socialist myself but not when i left. the average college kid idealistically wishes everybody could have ice cream and cake for every meal. but as he gets older and gives more thought to his and his fellow man's responsibilities, he finds that it can't work out that way that some people just won't carry their load ... i believe in welfare a welfare work program. i don't think a fella should be able to sit on his backside and receive welfare. i'd like to know why well educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living. i'd like to know why they make excuses for cowards who spit in the faces of the police and then run behind the judicial sob sisters. i can't understand these people who carry placards to save the life of some criminal, yet have no thought for the innocent victim."[203] former liberal democrat ronald reagan, who later became a conservative governor of california and 40th president of the us, remarked about one group of protesters carrying signs, "the last bunch of pickets were carrying signs that said 'make love, not war.' the only trouble was they didn't look capable of doing either."[204][205] the "generation gap" between the affluent young and their often poverty scarred parents was a critical component of 1960s culture. in an interview with journalist gloria steinem during the 1968 us presidential campaign, soon to be first lady pat nixon exposed the generational chasm in worldview between steinem, 20 years her junior, and herself after steinem probed mrs. nixon as to her youth, role models, and lifestyle. a hardscrabble child of the great depression, pat nixon told steinem, "i never had time to think about things like that, who i wanted to be, or who i admired, or to have ideas. i never had time to dream about being anyone else. i had to work. i haven't just sat back and thought of myself or my ideas or what i wanted to do ... i've kept working. i don't have time to worry about who i admire or who i identify with. i never had it easy. i'm not at all like you ... all those people who had it easy."[206] in economic terms, it has been contended that the counterculture really only amounted to creating new marketing segments for the "hip" crowd.[207] even before the counterculture movement reached its peak of influence, the concept of the adoption of socially responsible policies by establishment corporations was discussed by economist and nobel laureate milton friedman (1962): "few trends could so thoroughly undermine the very foundation of our free society as the acceptance by corporate officials of a social responsibility other than to make as much money for their stockholders as possible. this is a fundamentally subversive doctrine. if businessmen do have a social responsibility other than making maximum profits for stockholders, how are they to know what it is? can self selected private individuals decide what the social interest is?"[208] in 2003, author and former free speech activist greil marcus was quoted, "what happened four decades ago is history. it's not just a blip in the history of trends. whoever shows up at a march against war in iraq, it always takes place with a memory of the efficacy and joy and gratification of similar protests that took place in years before ... it doesn't matter that there is no counterculture, because counterculture of the past gives people a sense that their own difference matters."[209] when asked about the prospects of the counterculture movement moving forward in the digital age, former grateful dead lyricist and self styled "cyberlibertarian" john perry barlow said, "i started out as a teenage beatnik and then became a hippie and then became a cyberpunk. and now i'm still a member of the counterculture, but i don't know what to call that. and i'd been inclined to think that that was a good thing, because once the counterculture in america gets a name then the media can coopt it, and the advertising industry can turn it into a marketing foil. but you know, right now i'm not sure that it is a good thing, because we don't have any flag to rally around. without a name there may be no coherent movement."[210] during the era, conservative students objected to the counterculture and found ways to celebrate their conservative ideals by reading books like j. edgar hoover's a study of communism, joining student organizations like the college republicans, and organizing greek events which reinforced gender norms.[211] free speech advocate and social anthropologist jentri anders observed that a number of freedoms were endorsed within a countercultural community in which she lived and studied: "freedom to explore one's potential, freedom to create one's self, freedom of personal expression, freedom from scheduling, freedom from rigidly defined roles and hierarchical statuses". additionally, anders believed some in the counterculture wished to modify children's education so that it did not discourage, but rather encouraged, "aesthetic sense, love of nature, passion for music, desire for reflection, or strongly marked independence."[212][213] in 2007, merry prankster carolyn "mountain girl" garcia commented, "i see remnants of that movement everywhere. it's sort of like the nuts in ben and jerry's ice cream it's so thoroughly mixed in, we sort of expect it. the nice thing is that eccentricity is no longer so foreign. we've embraced diversity in a lot of ways in this country. i do think it's done us a tremendous service."[214] the 1990 oscar nominated documentary film berkeley in the sixties[215][216] highlighted what owen gleiberman from entertainment weekly noted: the film doesn't shrink from saying that many of the '60s social protest movements went too far. it demonstrates that by the end of the decade, protest had become a narcotic in itself.[217] an art exhibition (that originated at the walker art center in 2015[218] before expanding it to california) called hippie modernism: the struggle for uptopia reframes a more radically meditative story of the counterculture that contrasts to the popular perception for said era.[219] research has shown that african american protestors experienced harsher policing compared to their white counterparts when engaged in activism during the 1960s.[220] films like return of the secaucus 7 and the big chill[221] tackled life of the idealistic boomers from the countercultural 1960s to their older selfs in the 80s alongside the tv series thirtysomething.[222] that generation's nostalgia for said decade was also criticized as well.[223][224] panos cosmatos, director of the 2010 film beyond the black rainbow, admits a dislike for baby boomers' spiritual ideals, an issue he addresses in beyond the black rainbow. for him, the boomers' search for alternative belief systems made them dabble in the dark side of occultism, which in turn corrupted their quest for spiritual enlightenment.[225] the use of psychedelic drugs for mind expansion purposes is also explored,[226] although cosmatos' take on it is "dark and disturbing", a "brand of psychedelia that stands in direct opposition to the flower child, magic mushroom peace trip" wrote a reviewer.[227] ugo networks's jordan hoffman noted both elements, stating in his review that in the movie some "up to no good new age scientists have let their experiments with consciousness altering drugs mutate a young woman"[228]   in this case, elena. cosmatos explains why dr. arboria's mission to create a superior human ultimately failed: i look at arboria as kind of naïve. he had the best of intentions of wanting to expand human consciousness, but i think his ego got in the way of that and ultimately it turned into a poisonous, destructive thing. because arboria is trying to control consciousness and control the mind. there is a moment of truth in the film where the whole thing starts to disintegrate because it stops being about their humanity and becomes about an unattainable goal. that is the "black rainbow": trying to achieve some kind of unattainable state that is ultimately, probably destructive.[229] german film critic hauke lehmann,[230] c. h. newell writing at father son holy gore,[231] and mike lesuer of flood magazine[232] summarize cosmatos's message with both beyond the black rainbow and his next film mandy as that the progressive social, political, and cultural utopias of the 1960s (as represented by dr. arboria and his original plans with his institute) went wrong because they weren't prepared yet for what lay beyond aldous huxley and timothy leary's doors of perception, thus inviting the counter movement in the form of the conservative, right wing 1980s (represented by barry). likewise, simon abrams and steven boone of hollywood reporter also note cosmatos's harsh criticisms of the american conservative right of the 1980s.[233] for this reason lehmann, in his aforementioned cinema essay, calls beyond the black rainbow an "even more advanced version" of the social and political themes found in easy rider and fear and loathing in las vegas. the following people are well known for their involvement in 1960s era counterculture. some are key incidental or contextual figures, such as beat generation figures who also participated

watch cbs news by david morgan updated on: january 3, 2024 / 4:22 pm est / cbs news a look back at the esteemed personalities who left us this year, who'd touched us with their innovation, creativity and humanity. by cbsnews.com senior producer david morgan. the associated press contributed to this gallery. british actor tom wilkinson (february 5, 1948 december 30, 2023) was a scene stealer of the highest order. rarely playing a lead role, his characters infused the films he was in with gravity, tragedy and sardonic humor. he won an emmy and a golden globe for his performance as benjamin franklin in the hbo series "john adams." wilkinson earned a best supporting actor oscar nomination for his performance in "michael clayton" (2007), as an attorney who appears to fall apart owing to his experience litigating a multi billion dollar class action lawsuit over a carcinogenic weed killer. his come to jesus moment of clarity about his complicity sets off a chain reaction that threatens the high priced law firm hired to clean up the chemical company's mess. edens (tom wilkinson): "i have blood on my hands." clayton (george clooney): "you are the senior litigating partner of one of the largest, most respected law firms in the world. you are a legend." edens: "i'm an accomplice!" clayton: "you're a manic depressive!" edens: "i am shiva, the god of death." he also earned a best actor academy award nomination for todd field's 2001 drama "in the bedroom," playing a father grieving over the murder of his son. a yorkshire native born into a farming family, wilkinson attended the royal academy of dramatic art, and appeared on stage and in such films and tv programs as "sylvia," "prime suspect," "in the name of the father," "sense and sensibility," "the ghost and the darkness," "oscar and lucinda," "martin chuzzlewit" and "rush hour," then came his breakout role, in the 1997 comedy "the full monty," as an unemployed steel mill foreman who seeks a new career as a male stripper. it was followed by "shakespeare in love," "the patriot," "girl with a pearl earring," "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind," "batman begins," "the exorcism of emily rose," "valkyrie," "the debt," "the kennedys," "the best exotic marigold hotel," "mission: impossible   ghost protocol," "belle," "the grand budapest hotel" and "selma." he recently reunited with "full monty" co stars robert carlyle and mark addy in a disney+ series of the same name. tom smothers (february 2, 1937 december 26, 2023), one half of the duo the smothers brothers, said they didn't think of themselves as comedians. "no, we thought of ourselves as folk singers," tom told "sunday morning" in 2022. but the pair   dick playing bass and straight man, tom (two years older) on guitar and cracking wise   were a hit with their late '60s variety show, "the smothers brothers comedy hour." with guest stars like comedian george carlin and anti war activist pete seeger, and a writing staff that included steve martin and rob reiner, the show was a counterculture hit that tweaked the powers that be, whether in the white house or at cbs' headquarters at black rock. with their charm and light banter of sibling rivalry ("mom liked you best!"), they lampooned politicians, decried the war in vietnam, and made fun of network censors. they were a hit almost instantly; within two weeks, they were beating the venerable "bonanza" in the ratings. as their humor got sharper, censors sharpened their scissors, cutting out controversial content, sometimes entire skits, which put tom on the defensive, willing to continue poking the bear: "i was offended; 'what do you mean i can't say that?'" he said. cbs finally cancelled the show after 72 episodes. the brothers sued the network for breach of contract and won, but the show was over. tom recognized that, by the end of their run, anger was getting in the way of humor: "i was doing material, it was kind of mean comedy," he said. "i needed to be fired. if we would have gotten another year, it'd have been strident!" they didn't give up performing, though; they did a few more tv and stage shows, including a '90s reboot of their "comedy hour" (on cbs, no less), and starred on broadway. the two had started while tom was a student at san jose state college, part of a music group, the casual quintet. tom encouraged dick to join, and the two continued as a duo after other players dropped out. mixing comedy with folk music, the smothers brothers made numerous appearances on tv variety shows, records, and college venues. they played brothers   one a fledgling guardian angel   in a 1965 sitcom, "the smothers brothers show," which failed to showcase their musical talents. the year after that ended, their "comedy hour" took off. in 2008, as he received a lifetime emmy award, tom said, "it's hard for me to stay silent when i keep hearing that peace is only attainable through war." he dedicated his award to those "who feel compelled to speak out and are not afraid to speak to power and won't shut up." they retired in 2010, but returned in 2021 with a series of stage shows. "people laughing is holy," tom told "sunday morning," as they prepared for another tour. "and if you can be part of that, and control it, and create it, it's the best thing ever." ryan o'neal (april 20, 1941 december 8, 2023) transitioned from an actor on tv's "peyton place" to an oscar nominated role in "love story," the blockbuster tear jerker that catapulted him into the front ranks of hollywood stars in the 1970s. o'neal and ali macgraw starred as college students from disparate backgrounds who fall in love, marry, and then discover she is dying of cancer. it was nominated for seven academy awards, including best picture. appearing in a wide range of comedies and dramas, o'neal cleverly used his boyish good looks to play men who hid sinister backgrounds behind clean cut images. he starred in stanley kubrick's historical epic "barry lyndon," playing a roguish opportunist whose life cascades between poverty and wealth, from the battlefields of europe to an aristocratic estate. o'neal's gift for comedy shone opposite barbra streisand in peter bogdanovich's "what's up, doc?"; and he shared the screen with his daughter, tatum, as a pair of confidence tricksters in "paper moon," for which the 10 year old won an oscar for best supporting actress. his other film credits included "the big bounce" (in which he appeared with his second wife, leigh taylor young), "wild rovers," "nickelodeon," "a bridge too far," "the driver," "oliver's story" (a poorly received sequel to "love story"), "the main event," "irreconcilable differences," "tough guys don't dance," and "knight of cups." o'neal continued acting into his 70s, appearing on tv's "90210," "bull," "bones," "malibu's most wanted," and "desperate housewives." talented but troubled, o'neal's boy next door image was sometimes at odds with his personal life, marked by a hot temper, drugs and alcohol. twice divorced, he had strained relationships with three of his four children. in her autobiography tatum o'neal wrote of suffering physical and emotional abuse from her dad. they tried to patch things up by participating in a reality tv series, "ryan and tatum: the o'neals." in 2007 ryan was arrested for firing a gun at his son griffin, but charges were dropped. the following year, he was arrested along with his son redmond on drug charges. in 2009 he told vanity fair magazine, "i'm a hopeless father. i don't know why. i don't think i was supposed to be a father." the one constant in his life was farrah fawcett. their relationship was an on again/off again affair, which was rekindled in 2001, when o'neal was diagnosed with leukemia; fawcett was at his side. five years later, when fawcett was diagnosed with cancer, he was there for her until the end, when she died in 2009. he even suggested that the hospital chaplain marry the two. "she said, 'okay, let's get married,'" o'neal told "cbs this morning" in 2012. "but by then, she was so weak that he was only able to give her the last rites." in 2021, o'neal and macgraw spoke with "sunday morning" about the making of "love story," and noted that over the years they'd been asked frequently to explain the movie's most famous quote: "love means never having to say you're sorry." "neither of us knew at the time," said o'neal. "but over the years, we have come up with answers that … i don't know. i had to say 'i'm sorry' a lot in my life, that's all i know!" legendary tv producer norman lear (july 27, 1922 december 5, 2023) was responsible for such groundbreaking situation comedies as "all in the family," "maude," "the jeffersons," "sanford & son," and "one day at a time"   shows that broke taboos on broadcast entertainment and helped define a generation. his comedies routinely tackled serious social issues, some rarely seen on tv before, from racism, rape and abortion to menopause, homosexuality and religion, all viewed through the prism of laughter. nowhere was this more effective than in the debates pitting arch conservative archie bunker (played by carroll o'connor) and his liberal son in law mike (rob reiner) in "all in the family." in a 2021 interview on "sunday morning," lear said people on both ends of the political spectrum found something to connect with in the show. "i like to think what they saw was the foolishness of the human condition," he said. "the intention was to show there's humor in everything," he told "cbs this morning" in 2017. "and i never thought of [archie] as a hater so much as a man fearful of progress." lear, a world war ii veteran, got his start as a writer for radio and tv in the post war years. it was "all in the family," which premiered on cbs in 1971, that put him on the map. the show ran for nine seasons, won 22 emmy awards, and was no. 1 in the ratings for five consecutive years. even when the subject matter was divisive, the audience would be bonded by humor. "to be able to laugh in a rehearsal at something you hadn't expected, and then to stand to the side or behind an audience laughing, and watch them, their bodies   a couple of hundred people as one   when something makes them laugh, i don't think i've ever seen a more spiritual moment than an audience in a belly laugh!" lear said. "the soundtrack of my life has been laughter." "all in the family" was followed by the popular and provocative spin offs "maude" (starring bea arthur), and "the jeffersons" (starring isabel sanford and sherman hemsley), which brought storylines about women's liberation and race into millions of living rooms across the country. "sanford and son" (starring comedian redd foxx) and "good times" broke ground with mostly black casts. in "one day at a time," bonnie franklin starred as a divorcee struggling against sexism, chauvinistic bosses and cheating boyfriends, while raising two teenage daughters. lear also created the syndicated "mary hartman, marty hartman," a parody of soap operas, and was executive producer of "hot l baltimore" (based on the lanford wilson stage comedy), set in a run down hotel populated by prostitutes, undocumented immigrants, and a gay couple. the political and social issues he explored on screen also inspired his own activism. in 1981, he co founded the nonprofit group people for the american way to advocate for progressive causes and counter anti democratic or divisive politics. in a 2022 conversation with ted koppel for "sunday morning," lear discussed the state of a world that closely monitors discrimination towards minorities, women, gays or other groups. koppel said, "every office now has a department of someone who is there to make sure that others in the department don't go around offending one another. we didn't have that 50 years ago. is that a good thing?" "oh my god, my sense is there's something wrong, that we're living in a culture where that has to exist," said lear, "that there is a role for a person to make sure that other people are being decent humans. it says something about the culture we live in." "i'm getting the impression that what you're saying is we shouldn't need a department to make us be nice to one another?" koppel asked. "yes. yes, yes, yes," lear replied. and the key to achieving that, he said, was to be able to laugh at ourselves. in 1981, sandra day o'connor (march 26, 1930 december 1, 2023), a conservative judge and elected official from arizona, was named by president ronald reagan to the u.s. supreme court, becoming the first female justice in the high court's 191 year history. a moderate conservative, o'connor wasted little time building a reputation as a hard worker who wielded considerable political clout on the nine member court. o'connor had a tenacious, independent spirit that came naturally. as a child growing up in the arizona outback, on a ranch founded by her pioneer grandfather, she learned early to ride horses, round up cattle and drive trucks and tractors. "i didn't do all the things the boys did," she said in a 1981 time magazine interview, "but i fixed windmills and repaired fences." her most influential votes came in 1989, when she refused to join four other justices ready to reverse the landmark 1973 roe v. wade decision that said women have a constitutional right to abortion; and in 1992, in planned parenthood v. casey, when she led a five justice majority that reaffirmed the core holding of roe. reading a summary of her decision in court, o'connor said, "some of us as individuals find abortion offensive to our most basic principles of morality, but that can't control our decision. our obligation is to define the liberty of all, not to mandate our own moral code." [thirty years later, the justice who replaced o'connor upon her retirement, samuel alito, wrote the decision in dobbs v. jackson women's health organization that overturned roe, allowing states to ban abortions with few or no exemptions.] in 2000, o'connor was part of the 5 4 majority that effectively halted the counting of ballots in florida, thus deciding the disputed presidential election in favor of republican george w. bush over democrat al gore. o'connor was regarded with great fondness by many of her colleagues. when she retired in 2006, justice clarence thomas, a consistent conservative, called her "an outstanding colleague, civil in dissent and gracious when in the majority." she could, nonetheless, express her views tartly. in one of her final actions as a justice, a dissent to a 5 4 ruling to allow local governments to condemn and seize personal property to allow private developers to build shopping plazas, office buildings and other facilities, she warned the majority had unwisely ceded yet more power to the powerful. "the specter of condemnation hangs over all property," o'connor wrote. "nothing is to prevent the state from replacing ... any home with a shopping mall, or any farm with a factory." once called the nation's most powerful woman, o'connor remained the court's only woman until 1993, when president bill clinton nominated justice ruth bader ginsburg. [the current court includes four women.] in a 2006 interview with cbs news, in which she was described as "charmingly feisty," o'connor said she was not comfortable with some of the labels used about her during her tenure, such as "swing vote." "i'm not ok with that," she said. "i think that's a term the press developed, and it has no appeal for me." when asked how reporters could do a better job covering the judicial branch, o'connor replied: "oh, give the court credit for not making political decisions. give them credit for trying to resolve the issues fairly sometimes." former first lady rosalynn carter (august 18, 1927 november 19, 2023) was the closest adviser to jimmy carter during his presidency. both said she was the more political of the pair. unlike many previous first ladies, rosalynn sat in on cabinet meetings and spoke out on controversial issues. the president even sent her on a trip to latin america to tell dictators he meant what he said about denying military aid and other support to violators of human rights. fiercely loyal and politically astute, rosalynn prided herself on being an activist first lady, whose support for projects was often enlisted by white house aides before they discussed it with the president. she acted to address mental health and problems of the elderly as her signature policy emphasis, and criticized reporters who neglected to cover those issues. she became the first first lady since eleanor roosevelt to address a congressional panel when, as honorary chairwoman of the president's commission on mental health, she testified before a senate subcommittee. after losing reelection in 1980 and leaving washington, jimmy and rosalynn co founded the carter center in atlanta to continue their humanitarian work. they built homes with habitat for humanity, promoted public health initiatives (such as eradicating guinea worm) in the developing world, and monitored elections across the globe. she also wrote several books, including an autobiography, "first lady from plains," and (with susan k. golant) "helping someone with mental illness: a compassionate guide for family, friends, and caregivers." she co authored a book with her husband "everything to gain: making the most of the rest of your life," a collaboration they both agreed had tested their marriage like no white house crisis ever did. in a 2013 interview with c span, rosalynn carter said, "i hope my legacy continues more than just first lady. the carter center has been an integral part of our lives and our motto is 'waging peace, fighting disease and building hope.'" "i get tired," she once said of her travels. "but something so wonderful always happens. to go to a village where they have guinea worm and go back a year or two later and there's no guinea worm, i mean the people dance and sing   it's so wonderful." pulitzer prize winning composer david del tredici (march 16, 1937 november 18, 2023) was a proponent of a concert hall movement dubbed neo romanticism   lushly detailed orchestral and vocal works, which in the case of del tredici served as melodic interpretations of the writings of lewis carroll, specifically his "alice" books. trained as a pianist, del tredici shifted to writing music after experiencing the withering criticism of an instructor, followed by composition studies at berkeley and princeton. he set the words of james joyce to music ("sysygy"), and then found inspiration in carroll's books (and in the english writer's infatuation with young alice liddell). in a 2012 interview by his publisher, boosey & hawkes, del tredici recalled his earlier dissonant pieces: "in those days it was so exciting to be atonal because it was so new. we were happy with our kind of wholesome, heartfelt, woodland music which in a way was what my generation had been fed on, but to have this totally horrifying aesthetic, which was atonal, was thrilling. when you're a composer, you want to be different, you want to have something special to say, you want to be shocking, you want to get attention. and this filled the bill." but for carroll, and the theme of suppressed love, he said, "i needed another language. somehow atonality didn't do it." his earlier experimental and minimalist music would become overshadowed by such pieces as "final alice," a brash and melodic 1975 work for soprano and orchestra. similarly, "in memory of a summer day"   a meditation on love and death for soprano and orchestra   takes the title from carroll's dedication in his original manuscript. in the composer's notes he wrote: "like many of my pieces, this movement began chastely, but grew (wonderland style) to alarming proportions." it won the pulitzer prize in 1980, and became the basis of a dance work by the national ballet of canada. artist roger kastel (june 11,1931 november 8, 2023) created more than 1,000 illustrations used in magazines, comics, book covers and movie posters, none more recognizable than his artwork for peter benchley's bestseller "jaws." the image of a great white shark rising up towards a naked female swimmer was created for the paperback edition, for which kastel went to the american museum of natural history to photograph closeup views of a shark's teeth. he also had a model pretend to swim while stretched out on a stool. so striking was kastel's illustration (and successful   the bantam books paperback edition initially sold three million copies) that universal pictures used it to market steven spielberg's 1975 movie version. it became one of the most iconic movie posters of all time, and was featured in the anthologies "200 years of american illustration" and "the illustrator in america." the whereabouts of kastel's original artwork   oil on masonite   became a mystery. kastel last saw it at a museum exhibition in the '70s, after which it allegedly was shipped to hollywood. (in 1993 it was spotted by this writer hanging on a wall at bantam books in new york city, prior to the publisher moving its offices to times square.) to date efforts to locate it have failed. other movie posters featuring kastel's work include "the great train robbery" and the "star wars" sequel, "the empire strikes back." in the 2012 documentary "the shark is still working," kastel recalled his seven year old grandson asking him, "'did you ever do a mona lisa?' that really threw me. i said, 'i don't think i've done the mona lisa.' and he said, 'well, the shark will just have to be your mona lisa.'" a u.s. air force fighter pilot and instructor at west point, astronaut frank borman (march 14, 1928 november 7, 2023) commanded apollo 8's historic 1968 flight   the first manned mission to the moon. borman, james lovell and william anders circled the moon 10 times beginning on december 24, paving the way for apollo 11's lunar landing the following year. in 2018 borman told "sunday morning" that his goal was to "go to the moon and come back alive, because i knew that would beat the russians." leaving low earth orbit, the crew of apollo 8 traveled further than any humans ever had. in his 1988 book, "countdown: an autobiography," borman wrote of the "intensely emotional" experience of being among the first to see earth from the depths of space. "we said nothing to each other, but i was sure our thoughts were identical   of our families on that spinning globe. and maybe we shared another thought i had, this must be what god sees." on christmas eve, in a live broadcast from lunar orbit, the astronauts read from the book of genesis. "we were told that we would have the largest audience that ever listened to a human voice before," said borman. when asked if he knew at the time what kind of impact their bible reading would have, borman replied, "no, but as we flew and as we contemplated it afterwards, we all agreed that we couldn't have done anything more appropriate." borman ended the broadcast with, "and from the crew of apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a merry christmas, and god bless all of you   all of you on the good earth." at the end of one of america's most turbulent years   rocked by war, riots, political assassinations and generational clashes   borman said, "we got thousands of telegrams after the flight, but the one that struck me the most said, 'thank you apollo 8. you saved 1968.' and i think in a way we helped to heal it." after leaving nasa, borman joined eastern airlines (then the fourth largest airline in the u.s.) as a special adviser, eventually becoming its president, ceo and, in 1976, chairman of the board. he retired in 1986. having begun flying at age 15 with flight lessons paid for by money he earned pumping gas, borman continued flying into his 90s. college basketball coach bob knight (october 25, 1940 november 1, 2023) became famous as much for his legendary temper as for his success on the court. he played on a national championship team at ohio state, and as a coach won three ncaa titles at indiana. he also coached the u.s. olympic team to a medal in 1984   the last amateur american team to win gold in men's basketball. nicknamed "the general," and at 6'5" an intimidating presence, knight was among the winningest and most controversial coaches in the sport, finishing his career with 902 victories in 42 seasons at army, indiana and texas tech, while also mentoring some of america's best coaches. his trademark temper cost him his job at indiana in 2000. his behavior included throwing a chair across the court, hitting a police officer in puerto rico during the 1979 pan american games, and firing a blank from a starter's pistol at a reporter during a 1980 news conference. he was also accused of wrapping his hands around a player's neck. hired by texas tech (its president described the decision as a "no brainer"), knight turned the red raisers' fortunes around. he told "sunday morning" in 2002 that the words of his mother, an elementary school teacher, continued to ring in his ears: "i can close my eyes and see my mom saying it as i left the house. it didn't make any difference what i was going to do, whether it was football or basketball or baseball that i was going to play: 'but now just remember, somebody has to lose.' and i didn't want it to be me, no." so, bob knight pretty much won. he also wrote a book, "knight: my story," in order to counter the press' fascination with knight's uncourtly behavior on court. "everybody has tried to tell my story over the years," he said. "and the only guy that knows   it's like bullfight critics, row on row, crowd the enormous plaza full, and there's only one man there who knows, and he's the one who fights the bull. so, this is a bullfighter's story right here." as chandler bing, a quick witted, sarcastic member of the coterie of "friends," matthew perry (august 19, 1969 october 28, 2023) was one of tv's most beloved actors, with success that stretched from the 10 seasons that the show was on the air (from 1994 to 2004), to the following it gained among a younger generation as a streaming staple on netflix. in 2015 he told "cbs this morning," "people come up to me that i know were not born while we shot the show for sure, and they're just surprised at how elderly i look." starring alongside jennifer aniston, courteney cox, matt leblanc, lisa kudrow and david schwimmer, perry earned an emmy nomination as bing, a man with commitment issues, but who winds up marrying cox's character. in his 2022 memoir, "friends, lovers and the big terrible thing" (which became a #1 new york times bestseller), perry described reading the "friends" script for the first time: "it was as if someone had followed me around for a year, stealing my jokes, copying my mannerisms, photocopying my world weary yet witty view of life. … it wasn't that i thought i could 'play' chandler. i 'was' chandler." unknown at the time that "friends" was one of tv's biggest hits was the struggle perry had with addiction: "'friends' was huge. i couldn't jeopardize that," he wrote. "i loved my co actors. i loved the scripts. i loved everything about the show but i was struggling with my addictions which only added to my sense of shame. … i had a secret and no one could know." he recalled in his memoir that aniston confronted him about being inebriated while filming. "i know you're drinking," he remembered her telling him once. "we can smell it," she said, in what perry called a "kind of weird but loving way, and the plural 'we' hit me like a sledgehammer." he made repeated trips to rehab, for prescription pill addiction, and in 2011 checked in for what (he said in a statement to tmz) was preventive reasons: "please enjoy making fun of me on the world wide web," he noted. perry was very open about his recovery from alcohol and drug addiction, and in 2015, perry told cbs he was supportive of other recovering addicts. he also operated a sober living facility out of his former home in malibu, called the perry house. "i think people don't understand it's a disease," perry said. "it was declared a disease in 1955 by the american medical association and even people in trouble with this thing don't kind of realize that they're suffering with a disease, so they blame themselves. it's important to get it out there and not have it be a secret, so you can get the help you need." prior to "friends," perry appeared on shows such as "charles in charles," "silver spoons," "the tracey ullman show," "highway to heaven," "empty nest," "growing pains," "who's the boss," "dream on," "sydney," and "boys will be boys." his films roles included "a night in the life of jimmy reardon" with river phoenix. after "friends," perry received two more emmy nominations as white house counsel joe quincy on "the west wing." he starred in the rom com "fools rush in" opposite salma hayek, and the bruce willis crime comedy "the whole nine yards." he also starred in the short lived series "go on," as one member of a support group. in 2015, he played oscar madison in a cbs reboot of neil simon's "the odd couple." he told "cbs this morning" that he is better in front of an audience: "i like hamming it up in front of an audience, and you get an instant reaction. you get to find out right away if a joke works or if a joke doesn't work, and if a joke doesn't work, they all fix it." he also earned emmy nominations for the tv movie "the ron clark story," and for the 2021 "friends" reunion special for hbo max. but it wasn't acting that was most gratifying to him. in 2015 he told the hollywood reporter, "i've had a lot of ups and downs in my life and a lot of wonderful accolades, but the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic comes up to me and says, 'will you help me stop drinking?' i will say, 'yes. i know how to do that.'" as the star of the trailblazing 1971 action movie "shaft," richard roundtree (july 9, 1942 october 24, 2023) transitioned, at age 28, from a model to the first black action hero. he tore up the screen as the street smart, ultra smooth new york city detective john shaft, a nemesis to drug pushers in harlem and a magnet for women. "what we were doing was a good old, saturday afternoon shoot 'em up," roundtree said in a 2000 associated press interview. directed by gordon parks, "shaft" was part of a wave of blaxploitation films marketed primarily to black audiences, but its success helped roundtree break through, and he became the shoulders on which other black actors rose. he returned to the character in the sequels "shaft's big score" and "shaft in africa," as well as a short lived cbs tv series. proving you couldn't keep a good detective down, he also played "uncle john shaft" in a 2000 reboot starring samuel l. jackson, and "john shaft sr." in a 2019 film with jessie t. usher. roundtree's other film and tv credits included "earthquake," "man friday," "roots," "the love boat," "magnum, p.i.," "a.d.," "generations," "maniac cop," "l.a. law," "se7en," "the fresh prince of bel air," "george of the jungle," "rescue 77," "alias," "desperate housewives," "speed racer," "diary of a single mom," "chicago fire," "what men want," "haunting of the marie celeste," and "family reunion." actress piper laurie (january 22, 1932 october 14, 2023) earned three academy award nominations, for the 1961 poolroom drama "the hustler"; the 1976 film version of stephen king's horror classic "carrie" (as the hellfire breathing mother of sissy spacek); and the 1986 drama "children of a lesser god." those roles came after she had given up on hollywood, more than once. rosetta jacobs arrived in los angeles in 1949 and quickly signed a contract with universal international, acquiring a new name (which she hated), and a string of roles opposite such stars as ronald reagan, rock hudson, tony curtis, and francis the talking mule. frustrated with the quality of scripts, in 1955 she walked out on her contract, vowing not to work in hollywood until she was offered a decent part. in her 2011 memoir "learning to live out loud," she wrote about a script being offered for what she dismissed as a "c" western: "the woman's part was a prop and just barely that, possibly the worst part they had ever handed me. i suddenly felt so deeply insulted, so unappreciated, so mortally wounded. this time they had gone too far. i calmly got up, walked over to the fireplace, and dropped their script into the flames. with it went a little of the humiliation i had endured in the last five years. something was coming alive in me." moving to new york, she found work in theater and live television. emmy nominations for "the deaf heart" and "days of wine and roses" led to her starring opposite paul newman in "the hustler." she earned her first oscar nomination for best supporting actress for that movie, but didn't appear in another film for 15 years. apart from a spate of '60s tv roles, she turned her back on acting. she married, had a daughter, and moved to a farmhouse in woodstock, new york. her baking recipes appeared in the new york times. "i was disenchanted and looking for an existence more meaningful for me," she recalled. she was coaxed back for brian depalma's film version of "carrie," to play sissy spacek's mother, whose religious fervor leads to tragedy. (both she and spacek were nominated for oscars.) the burst of film and tv roles that followed included david lynch's "twin peaks" (as the duplicitous catherine martell), and playing george clooney's mother on "er." actress suzanne somers (october 16, 1946 october 15, 2023) was best known for playing chrissy snow on the 1970s sitcom "three's company." a ditzy blonde, chrissy was one of two young women who shared an apartment with a man (played by john ritter) on condition that he pretend to be gay, in order to assuage their nosy landlord. "creating her was actually intellectual," she told cbs station kcal in 2020. "how do i make her likable and loveable ... dumb blondes are annoying. i gave her a moral code. i imagined it was the childhood i would've liked to have had." born in san bruno, california, to a gardener father and a medical secretary mother, her father was an alcoholic and abusive. she married young, at 19, to bruce somers, after becoming pregnant with her son, bruce. the couple divorced three years later, and she began working as a model to support herself in the 1960s and early '70s. her breakout part was a wordless cameo as a stunning blonde in a thunderbird, in george lucas' "american graffiti." her small but striking role earned her a guest spot on "the tonight show," which led to her being signed up by the producers of "three's company," who were recasting for their third attempt at a pilot episode. the show was a major hit for abc, but after four seasons somers asked for a raise from $30,000 an episode to $150,000, so that she'd earn as much as her male costar. the producers fired her, replacing her character with two different roommates for the remaining years that the show aired. the pay fight led to a rift with her co stars that lasted for years. somers would later reconcile with ritter before his death, and then with joyce dewitt. but somers took the break from "three's company" as an opportunity to pursue new avenues, including a las vegas act, hosting talk shows (online and on the lifetime channel), and becoming an entrepreneur. in the 1990s, she became the spokesperson for the thighmaster. she promoted health and beauty products, and wrote nearly two dozen books, including several new york times bestsellers, on such topics as aging, menopause, beauty, wellness, sex and cancer. her tumultuous early years were dramatized in a 1991 tv movie, "keeping secrets," in which somers played herself. cancer colored much of her life. first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000, she had previously battled malignant melanoma, and also suffered severe hyperplasia in her uterus. in 2008 she was even misdiagnosed with "full body cancer." she wrote about alternative treatments, and received backlash from doctors for arguing against the use of chemotherapy. in 2020 she told cbs, "i thought that when i turned 73 that i would be old, chronologically old. but i'm not old, and i believe it's because of the way i've been taking care of myself. i've really thought of [my body] as a maserati, and i feed it right and put the highest octane fuel i can put in there and it pays off." singer songwriter rudolph isley (april 1, 1939 october 11, 2023) was a founding member of the r&b group the isley brothers, who recorded such hits as "shout," "twist & shout," "that lady" and "it's your thing." raised in cincinnati, rudolph began singing in church with brothers ronald and o'kelly, and was still in his teens when they broke through in the late 1950s with "shout" (a secularized gospel rave later immortalized in the film "animal house"). the isleys scored again in the early 1960s with "twist & shout," which the beatles covered on their debut album. other isley hits included "this old heart of mine (is weak for you)," and the grammy winning "it's your thing." in the 1970s, after younger brothers ernest and marvin isley and brother in law chris jasper joined the group, they had even greater success with "that lady" and "fight the power (part 1)," and such million selling albums as "the heat is on" and "go for your guns." in 1989, three years after the sudden death of o'kelly isley, rudolph left the group to become a christian minister. he was among the isleys inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame in 1992. actress phyllis coates (january 15, 1927 october 11, 2023) played opposite george reeves in the 1951 film "superman and the mole men," and continued as the first lois lane in the 1950s tv series, "adventures of superman." (noel neill took over the role in the second season.) a native of wichita falls, texas, coates was a dancer performing in burlesque shows before being featured in a series of b movies, such as the westerns "outlaws of texas" and "nevada badmen." she had scores of appearances on television, including "the cisco kid," "the adventures of kit carson," "the millionaire," "lassie," "the lone ranger," "death valley days," "perry mason," "rawhide," "the untouchables" "death valley days" and "gunsmoke." she continued acting into the 1990s when she appeared in "dr. quinn, medicine woman." one of her last roles was as lois lane's mother, ellen lane, in "lois & clark: the new adventures of superman." character actor burt young (april 30, 1940 october 8, 2023) was best known as paulie pennino, best friend of sylvester stallone's rocky balboa, and brother of rocky's girlfriend/wife, adrian. young earned an oscar nomination for best supporting actor for the 1976 film, and reprised his role in five "rocky" sequels. "i'm not paulie," young told new york newsday in 2007, "but there's a part of paulie in all of us ... cowardice, bravado, false bravado. and i knew how to beat the drum to make the guy interesting and ugly and pathetic." a veteran of more than 160 film and tv roles, young was born richard morea and raised in queens, new york. he served in the marine corps, was a professional boxer, and worked laying carpets before he took up acting. he studied with lee strasberg at the actors studio. small roles in films like "the gang that couldn't shoot straight" and "across 110th street" led to "chinatown" (as a fisherman who throws a fit when jack nicholson's private detective shows him pictures proving his wife's infidelity), "the gambler," "serpico," and then "rocky." other films included "once upon a time in america," "back to school," "the pope of greenwich village," "last exit to brooklyn," and "bright angel." he also wrote and starred in "uncle joe shannon." his tv credits included "mash," "miami vice," "the equalizer," "law & order," and "the sopranos." he made his broadway debut in 1986 opposite robert de niro and ralph macchio in "cuba & his teddy bear." democratic senator dianne feinstein (june 22, 1933 september 28, 2023) broke gender barriers throughout her long career in local and national politics. the oldest sitting u.s. senator, she was a passionate advocate for issues important to her home state of california, including environmental protection, reproductive rights and gun control. but she was also a pragmatic lawmaker who reached out to republicans and sought middle ground. she was elected to the san francisco board of supervisors in 1969 and became its first female board president in 1978, the year mayor george moscone was gunned down at city hall alongside supervisor harvey milk. feinstein remembered finding milk's body, her finger slipping into a bullet hole as she felt for a pulse. it was a story she would retell often in the years ahead as she pushed for stricter gun control measures. (in 1993, during a debate on the assault weapons ban, republican senator larry craig accused feinstein of having insufficient knowledge of guns. she retorted, ''senator, i know something about what firearms can do.") after moscone's death, feinstein became san francisco's first female mayor. even her critics credited her with a calming influence during a turbulent period, and she won reelection twice. in 1990 she won the democratic nomination for california governor, but narrowly lost to republican pete wilson. two years later she ran for the senate seat wilson had vacated. feinstein campaigned jointly with barbara boxer (who was running for the state's other senate seat), and both won, benefiting from positive news coverage and excitement over their historic race, boosted by voters galvanized by the supreme court hearings for nominee clarence thomas and the questioning of anita hill. one of feinstein's most significant legislative accomplishments was early in her career, when the senate approved her amendment to ban the manufacture and sales of certain types of assault weapons, part of a crime bill that president bill clinton signed in 1994. (the assault weapons ban expired 10 years later and was never renewed or replaced.) feinstein was appointed to the judiciary panel and eventually the senate intelligence committee, becoming the chairperson in 2009   the first woman to lead the intelligence panel. under her leadership, the intelligence committee conducted a wide ranging, five year investigation into cia interrogation techniques during president george w. bush's administration, including waterboarding of terrorism suspects at secret overseas prisons. the resulting 6,300 page "torture report" concluded among other things that waterboarding and other "enhanced interrogation techniques" did not provide key evidence in the hunt for bin laden. a 525 page executive summary was released in late 2014, but the rest of the report remains classified. feinstein's experiences colored her outlook through her five decades in politics, telling the associated press in 2005 that she recognized "women have had to fight for everything they have gotten, every right." but she also changed her views on some issues, such as same sex marriage, which she initially opposed. in 2008 she told "sunday morning" that in the harsh world of politics, what people want often goes beyond rights that are written into law. "there is a right to happiness, too," she said. "and happiness is an ethereal quality, but by golly, it sure is important." irish english actor sir michael gambon (october 19, 1940 september 27, 2023) earned fame for his stage work, films such as "gosford park" and "the cook, the thief, his wife and her lover," and his starring role in the 1986 bbc miniseries "the singing detective." but he is warmly remembered by younger audiences for his portrayal of albus dumbledore in six "harry potter" films. gambon took over the role of the hogwarts headmaster from richard harris, who died in 2002, beginning with "harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban." born in dublin and raised in london, gambon originally trained to be an engineer, like his father. he started work in the theater as a set builder, then made his stage debut in a production of "othello." in 1963 he got a small part in "hamlet" at the national theatre company. he won three olivier awards (for "a chorus of disapproval," "a view from the bridge," and "man of the moment"), and was nominated for a tony (for "skylight"). gambon became a household name in britain by starring in dennis potter's tv drama "the singing detective," in which a raymond chanderesque writer, suffering from a debilitating disease, falls into surreal reveries of childhood reminiscences and a musical fantasy about a private eye, "philip marlow." gambon won the bafta for best actor for his performance. he also won two screen actors guild awards (for "gosford park," and "the king's speech" as king george v), and earned two emmy nominations (for "path to war," playing president lyndon b. johnson, and "emma"). gambon once told the bbc he preferred to play "villainous characters," such as gangster eddie temple in the crime thriller "layer cake." he recently appeared in the judy garland biopic "judy." in a 2014 interview with the guardian, gambon demurred from analyzing the actor's craft: "you just do it," he said. "that's what acting is." but he offered a more thoughtful explanation for how he accomplished crying on cue: "i admit i try and summon up a powerful image. the one i often think of is that of a little girl in uniform, taken during the vietnam war, with her clothes and body on fire because of an aerial bomb. i believe she recovered and is now a doctor, which makes me feel i'm not simply exploiting someone else's tragedy." hall of famer brooks robinson (may 18, 1937 september 26, 2023) was one of the most gifted third basemen to play the game, with 16 consecutive gold glove awards earned during his 23 year career with the baltimore orioles. robinson was the american league's mvp in 1964, homered in game 1 of the orioles' 1966 sweep of the los angeles dodgers for their first world series win, and almost single handedly helped baltimore defeat the cincinnati reds in the 1970 world series. dubbed "mr. oriole," his glovework made him the finest fielding third baseman in mlb history. in 2,870 career games (more than anyone else at that position), he established major league records for his position for fielding percentage, putouts, assists and double plays. he became known as "the human vacuum cleaner." he also swatted 268 homers, with 1,357 rbis, and had a lifetime batting average of .267. robinson's most memorable performance came in the 1970 world series, when he was mvp. he hit .429, homered twice, and drove in six runs, while deftly making numerous striking defensive plays that stifled the reds' bats. the orioles won the series 4 games to 1. "i tell people that i played 23 seasons and i never did have five games in a row like i did in that world series," robinson said. "it was a once in a lifetime five game series for me, and it just happened to be in a world series." actor david mccallum (september 19, 1933 september 25, 2023) was responsible for two endearing and enduring tv characters: first, as secret agent illya kuryakin in the hit 1960s spy series "the man from u.n.c.l.e.," and then, forty years later, as eccentric medical examiner dr. donald "ducky" mallard in cbs' "ncis." mccallum's work on "u.n.c.l.e." earned him two emmy nominations; he received a third as an educator struggling with alcoholism in the 1969 drama, "teacher, teacher." the scottish born mccallum appeared in the titanic drama "a night to remember," "billy budd," "the great escape" (as ashley pitt, a.k.a. "dispersal"), and "the greatest story ever told" (as judas). "the man from u.n.c.l.e.," about an international agency of crimefighters, debuted in 1964, and starred robert vaughn as napoleon solo, with mccallum as his russian sidekick. the series ran for three years, and in 1983 vaughn and mccallum were reunited for a tv movie sequel, "the return of the man from u.n.c.l.e." in 2003 mccallum began a 20 year run as pathologist "ducky" mallard on "ncis." mccallum said he thought ducky "looked a little silly, but it was great fun to do." in addition to "ncis," mccallum also appeared as ducky on "ncis: new orleans" and "jag." he also starred in the sci fi series "the invisible man" and "sapphire and steel," and has guest roles in such shows as "perry mason," "the outer limits," "marcus welby, m.d.," "murder, she wrote," "hart to hart," "law & order," and "sex and the city." his other film and tv movie credits included "freud," "around the world under the sea," and "frankenstein: the true story." in 2007, while he was working on "ncis," mccallum told a reporter: "i've always felt the harder i work, the luckier i get. i believe in serendipitous things happening, but at the same time, dedicating yourself to what you do is the best way to get along in this life." the songs of jimmy buffett (december 25, 1946 september 1, 2023) spoke to anyone who'd ever dreamed of getting away from it all. best known for his wistful but tunefully chirpy "margaritaville," buffett's brand of key west music was an intoxicating blend   a margarita glass filled with country, rock and calypso, served with an umbrella and, of course, a shaker of salt. raised in alabama, buffett tried to break into the music business in nashville, and drifted to new orleans in the early '70s, playing for tourists in the clubs and the streets as one of the city's sidewalk musicians. the experience, he told "sunday morning" in 2018, was formative: "it made me a better professional player … this was my training ground for all of that." in the years that followed, he moved to key west, florida, refining that country meets caribbean sound, and his career took off. over the course of 29 studio albums, he sang songs of regrets and hopes, his most famous being the 1977 hit "margaritaville," in which the narrator drowns his sorrows over a failed romance. the song seemed to launch a new genre, one he owned exclusively. but somewhere along the way buffett realized that he might be having a little too much fun, and cut down on the partying that was the subject matter of songs like "livingston saturday night," "why don't we get drunk," "boat drinks," and "changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes." "hangovers became, like, surgical recovery," he said. "and i didn't want to be one of those statistics. and i owed it to my parents, who had worked hard, you know, to give all of us kids what they could. i thought i owed it to them to not be that." and he also wanted to be in charge of a band, rather than simply be in one. "i guess it kind of goes back to being raised in a seafaring family where there was ship captains and people in charge. somehow i figured i'd rather be that than in the crew. i wanted to be the captain." by the early 1990s buffett, touring with his coral reefer band, was one of the biggest acts in the business, with hordes of adoring fans who called themselves "parrotheads." at the same time, buffett, a married father of three, also exercised his business sense, starting his own record label, and running a chain of margaritaville bars, restaurants, hotels, tequila brands, margarita mixes, and clothing lines that made him a half billionaire. he wrote new york times bestselling books, including "tales of margaritaville," "where is joe merchant?," and "a pirate looks at fifty," and co authored two children's books with his daughter, savannah jane. and in 2018, a jukebox musical, "escape to margaritaville," opened on broadway, replete with buffett standards like "cheeseburger in paradise," "license to chill," "son of a son of a sailor," "one particular harbour," and "it's five o'clock somewhere." it was all in the service, he told "sunday morning" in 1992, of helping audiences relax with a virtual vacation: "i think that the biggest problem with 20th century life is we've all taken ourselves much too seriously. when we come to town, all of a sudden we're an excuse to go crazy. i think that's an essential part of life in the 20th century, and i'm glad it's my job." all those years of touring were put on hold, for a time, during the covid 19 pandemic. even then, buffett couldn't stop giving fans a chance to head out to the beach for a spell; he performed online concerts, often for first responders. "you know, historically you think about it, in times like this you still have to have a little fun," buffett told "sunday morning" in 2020. "you still have to have a rest from what's going on. and i knew that that was the case, because a lot of healthcare workers and doctors i've known for a long time have used my music in operating rooms and emergency rooms to calm down." bill richardson (november 15, 1947 september 1, 2023), a two term democratic governor of new mexico and an american ambassador to the united nations, worked for years to secure the release of americans held by foreign adversaries born in pasadena, calif., richardson grew up in mexico city with a mexican mother and an american father, a u.s. bank executive. he attended prep school in massachusetts and later went to tufts university and its graduate school in international relations, earning a master's degree in international affairs. after working as a capitol hill staffer, in 1978 richardson moved to new mexico, to run for political office. he won a congressional seat in 1982. it was while he was a congressman in december 1994, during a visit to north korean nuclear sites, that he received word an american helicopter pilot had been downed and his co pilot killed. the white house enlisted richardson's help and, after days of tough negotiations, he accompanied the remains of chief warrant officer david hilemon, while paving the way for chief warrant officer bobby hall to return home. the following year, after a personal appeal from richardson, saddam hussein freed two americans who had been imprisoned for four months, charged with illegally crossing into iraq from kuwait. richardson left congress after 14 years, in 1997, to join the clinton administration as u.n. ambassador. he later became secretary of energy. richardson was elected governor of new mexico in 2002. during the campaign, he reportedly shook 13,392 hands in an eight hour period, setting a world record (at one point held by theodore roosevelt). during his two terms he was the nation's only hispanic governor. he described being governor as "the most fun. you can get the most done. you set the agenda." as governor, richardson raised teachers' salaries, increased the minimum wage, expanded pre k, pushed renewable energy requirements for utilities, and financed large scale infrastructure projects, including a commuter rail system and a commercial spaceport. once a supporter of capital punishment, he also signed legislation that repealed the state's death penalty. richardson continued his freelance diplomacy while serving as governor, recovering the remains of american servicemen killed in the korean war. he helped secure the 2021 release of american journalist danny fenster from a myanmar prison, and also helped in the release of americans detained in russia and iran. it was a role   bargaining with america's adversaries   that richardson relished, once describing himself as "the informal undersecretary for thugs." "i plead guilty to photo ops and getting human beings rescued and improving the lives of human beings," he once told reporters. the genial host of "the price is right" for 35 years, bob barker (december 12, 1923 august 26, 2023) started each program, he told "sunday morning" in 2008," by "looking for someone with whom i could create laughter and have fun." and he ended each program with a plea that spoke to his passion for animal rights, by calling upon viewers to spay or neuter their pets. barker grew up on the rosebud indian reservation in south dakota, where his mom taught school after barker's father died. he married his high school sweetheart, dorothy jo gideon; served in the navy as a pilot; and then tried his hand at broadcasting. after hosting a live audience participation program on radio, his wife told him, "that's what you should do. you did that better than you've ever done anything else." barker moved to los angeles, where he was called in for an interview with tv game show impresario ralph edwards. the result: "truth or consequences," in which contestants engaged in crazy stunts. barker hosted the show for 18 years, before going on to host a 1972 reboot of "the price is right" on cbs. welcoming contestants to vie for prizes by correctly guessing prices, barker invited players to have a hand at a variety of challenges: plinko, dice game, hole in one, master key, cliff hangers (featuring a yodeling mountain climber), and of course the giant spinning wheel. the show's longevity was directly tied into barker's effusive personality and ability to blend comfort television with high stakes gamesmanship, topped by his authentic joy when a contestant won a car or appliance. as barker's fame grew, so did his commitment to animals, a passion he shared with his wife (who died in 1981). he donated millions for animal protection, including sponsoring programs to spay and neuter animals, to counter the problem of pet overpopulation. he angered the fur industry when he quit hosting the miss universe pageant in 1987 because sponsors refused to stop giving away fur coats as prizes. when asked if he feared hurting his career, barker said no. "my accountant had feelings about it, but i didn't," he told "sunday morning." "i've always loved animals, and i always had animals." over the course of his career, during which he taped more than 5,000 shows, barker earned 19 emmys, including a lifetime achievement award in 1999; he also won awards for protecting animals. he even played off his dapper, affable tv aura with a memorable cameo appearance in the 1996 comedy "happy gilmore," in which he got to beat up adam sandler on a golf course. in his 2009 memoir, "priceless memories," he summed up his joy from hosting "price is right" as the opportunity "to watch people reveal themselves and to watch the excitement and humor unfold." sometimes the contestants were very revealing. on one occasion, a young woman wearing a tube top jumped up and down for joy at being called upon to "come on down," so much so that both her breasts popped out. barker, off stage during the wardrobe malfunction, read the room wrong when he walked out: "the audience was screaming. and i thought, 'they love me. they love me.' and then i came to terms with the fact that no audience had ever loved me this much!" robbie robertson (july 5, 1943 august 9, 2023), for many years the lead guitarist for bob dylan and the principal songwriter for the band, was part of a revolution in music. his most famous songs include "the night they drove old dixie down" and "the weight." raised in toronto, robertson (half mohawk, half jewish) started playing guitar at age 10, and by 16 was on the road full time. he joined arkansas rockabilly singer ronnie hawkins' band, where he met a young drummer, levon helm. the two clicked right away, and after garth hudson, richard manuel and rick danko also joined the group, they split off from hawkins to form their own band. originally called levon and the hawks, they would eventually become known as, simply, the band. in new york, they became bob dylan's backing musicians for his new tour. and when dylan retreated to woodstock, n.y., in 1967, the band rented a small house in nearby west saugerties and turned its basement into a studio. they'd call the place the big pink. "and it was like valhalla," robertson told "sunday morning" correspondent anthony mason in 2016. "we're in our own world. we're making music that nobody is supposed to ever hear." drawing from folk, blues, gospel and country, the band's groundbreaking debut album, "music from big pink," was released in 1968. they played at woodstock, and for eight years were one of rock's most influential groups. but by the mid seventies, drug problems were taking their toll on the group. the friction led to their final concert together, on thanksgiving day 1976, at san francisco's winterland. dylan, eric clapton, joni mitchell, neil young and van morrison all showed up. documented by director martin scorsese in the film "the last waltz," it was rock's most famous farewell concert. robertson said he expected that, after taking a break, the band would eventually regroup, as he told the guardian in 2019: "and then, as i said in the film, when i realized everybody forgot to come back, i had to read the writing on the wall." the other members did eventually regroup, in 1983, but without robertson. they recorded three albums. manuel died in 1986, danko in 1999, and helm in 2012. robertson wrote an autobiography, "testimony," published in 2016, and released several solo albums (including "robbie robertson," "storyville," and "how to become clairvoyant"). he also collaborated with scorsese on the music for several of his films, including the upcoming "killers of the flower moon." he was one of the mythic directors who helped usher in a glorious chapter of hollywood in the late 1960s and early '70s, making innovative and thought provoking films that pushed the envelope of technique and heralded a daring new approach to challenging material. william friedkin (august 29, 1935 august 7, 2023) won an academy award for the police thriller "the french connection" (whose highlight was the greatest car chase ever filmed), and shocked audiences with the horror classic "the exorcist." friedkin started out directing live television and documentaries, including a 1966 film about police, "the thin blue line." his early movies reflect an eclectic mix of subject matter: "good times," a knockabout farce starring sonny & cher; a filming of harold pinter's "the birthday party" starring robert shaw; the comedy "the night they raided minsky's"; and "the boys in the band," a film version of mart crowley's groundbreaking off broadway play about gay men. based on a true story, "the french connection" dramatized the efforts of a maverick new york city police detective to hunt down the criminal mastermind of a ring of heroin smugglers. gene hackman earned an oscar for his performance as "popeye" doyle, a cop who abided by few rules. but as riveting as hackman was, he could not compete for sheer bravado against the chase sequence in which doyle, in a car, pursues an assassin fleeing aboard a subway train. friedkin had to orchestrate the chase with no city permits (the movie's advisers from the nypd knew how to get around that), and even filmed some of it himself from the backseat using a handheld camera as stunt driver bill hickman propelled his pontiac lemans, equipped with a police siren, through the streets of brooklyn at up to 90 mph. doyle car's collided with several vehicles along the way, and narrowly avoided a woman pushing a baby carriage. (hackman as well crashed into a wall when he was driving himself.) the fact that many of the people seen in background had no idea they were in a movie only heightened the guerilla techniques used. "there was absolutely no control," friedkin admitted in a 2009 behind the scenes documentary. "we didn't stop cross traffic, we didn't stop pedestrians from crossing the street. … people heard a siren and tried to get out of the way, but they didn't see a police car." friedkin described the chase as a metaphor that reflected the obsession of doyle, "who would stop at nothing to get the guy he was looking for." but he acknowledged that he wouldn't replicate that experience today. "we'd find another way of doing it … thank god no one was hurt." in addition to hackman's win, "the french connection" took oscars for best picture, director, adapted screenplay and editing. friedkin followed with a harrowing film version of william peter blatty's bestselling novel, "the exorcist," about catholic priests trying to free a little girl possessed by the devil. starring jason miller, ellen burstyn, max von sydow and linda blair as young regan, the movie was a tale of a crisis of faith, wrapped in the horror trappings of a young girl who undergoes terrifying physical transformations. in a 2018 interview with new york magazine, friedkin noted how, prior to blatty's novel, there had been no public familiarity with exorcisms. when friedkin, a non catholic, was granted permission to film a real exorcism led by the vatican's exorcist in 2016, and later showed the footage to psychiatrists (who had added "possession trance disorder" to the dsm iv), he was surprised by their reaction: "'it looks authentic, but it doesn't have the classical symptoms.' and i said, 'what are the classical symptoms?' and they each said, 'well, the head spinning, and levitation.' and i remember saying, 'doctor, we invented that. mr. blatty wrote that, and i had to find a way to film it.' but i never heard of it. i never heard of that happening." "the exorcist" received 10 oscar nominations, and won two, for blatty's script and for sound. friedkin's later films and tv movies would not reach the box office heights of "the exorcist," but they demonstrated his willingness to tackle uncommercial material. his 1977 film "sorcerer," a remake of the french thriller "the wages of fear," about men driving a truck of nitroglycerin though the jungle, failed with critics and ticket buyers but has since acquired a following. his next film was criticized even more: "cruising," a police drama starring al pacino as a detective going undercover to investigate the murders of gay men. but he was back in the driver's seat with "to live and die in l.a.," about law enforcement agents on the trail of a counterfeiter. it also featured a memorable chase, in which cars drive against traffic on a crowded los angeles highway. he authored a candid memoir, "the friedkin connection," and directed well received movies adapted from tracy letts plays, including "bug" and "killer joe." other credits included "the brink's job," "jade," "rules of engagement," a tv remake of "12 angry men," and episodes of "the twilight zone," "tales from the crypt," "rebel highway," and "csi: crime scene investigation." his last film, "the caine mutiny court martial," starring kiefer sutherland, is set to premiere at the venice film festival next month. friends of actor and comedian paul reubens (august 27, 1952 july 30, 2023) remarked that he was a quiet, unassuming personality off stage. so, it's ironic that he was best known for the character he created who was entirely the opposite: pee wee herman, a boisterous, fun loving child man whose whimsical adventures and anarchic humor   not to mention his propensity to invite people to scream real loud!   made him a 1980s pop cultural phenomenon. pee wee was born when reubens was part of the groundlings, a los angeles improv group, in the 1970s. his 1981 live stage show, "the pee wee herman show," modeled after a typical saturday morning tv program, featured reubens and a supporting cast that included phil hartman, john paragon, edie mcclurg and lynne marie stewart. the show was recorded as an hbo special. reubens took pee wee to the big screen with 1985's "pee wee's big adventure," in which pee wee travels the country on the trail of his beloved stolen bicycle. directed by tim burton and co written by hartman, the movie grossed $40 million, and led to "pee wee's playhouse," his actual saturday morning tv series on cbs. pee wee's surreal playhouse was shared with a talking chair, a pterodactyl, a genie's disembodied head, and a magic screen that could transport pee wee to animated landscapes. the show, which ran for five seasons, won 15 emmys, and attracted both children and adults with its anarchic humor. "there's not really a good answer to how it was allowed to happen," reubens told gq magazine in 2016. "it was all kind of a fluke." he followed with a big screen sequel, "big top pee wee," set in a circus. but reubens faced a real life media circus after he was arrested in an adult movie theater in sarasota, florida, for indecent exposure. he was handed a small fine, but the damage was incalculable. cbs cancelled his show, and his pee wee character all but disappeared. yet, reubens continued to work apart from his alter ego. he had roles in "batman returns," "buffy the vampire slayer," "matilda," the johnny depp drama "blow," "mystery men," and the tv series "murphy brown," "30 rock," "the blacklist" and "gotham." reubens slowly re introduced pee wee, and eventually performed his show on broadway in 2010. judd apatow produced a new pee wee movie in 2016 for netflix, "pee wee's big holiday." in his gq interview reubens resisted analyzing the connections between himself and the larger than life character he created: "it's not because i'm being coy. i just don't think about it. and when i do think about it, it ruins it for me. it takes all the joy out of what i do. and i'm afraid it would change what i do." irish singer songwriter sinéad o'connor (dec. 8, 1966 july 26, 2023), a gifted rebel whose powerful voice was matched with provocative statements, became a superstar in her mid 20s with her shattering 1990 cover of the prince ballad "nothing compares 2 u." the song topped charts around the world, aided by a music video in which o'connor   with shaved head and piercing grey eyes   was featured in extreme closeup. growing up in an abusive household, as a teenager she spent time in a church sponsored institution for girls. a nun gave o'connor her first guitar, and soon she was singing and performing on the streets of dublin, her influences ranging from bob dylan to siouxsie and the banshees. "i suppose i've got to say that music saved me," she said in an interview with the independent newspaper in 2013. "i didn't have any other abilities, and there was no learning support for girls like me, not in ireland at that time. it was either jail or music. i got lucky." her 1987 debut album, "the lion and the cobra," was followed by 1990's "i do not want what i haven't got." rolling stone magazine would name her 1991's artist of the year. the album, which went platinum, was nominated for four grammys, winning one. (she skipped the grammy ceremony, criticizing the music industry for its "false and destructive materialistic values.") a critic of the roman catholic church well before allegations of sexual abuse were widely reported, o'connor made headlines in october 1992 when she tore up a photo of pope john paul ii while appearing on nbc's "saturday night live" and denounced the church as the enemy. shortly after, she appeared at an all star tribute for bob dylan at madison square garden and was immediately booed. although consoled and encouraged by fellow musician kris kristofferson, she left the stage and broke down. her performance was kept off the concert cd. o'connor also faced boycotts from u.s. radio stations after she refused to perform at a new jersey concert venue if they played the national anthem beforehand. she announced her retirement from music in 2003, but she continued to record new material. she released 10 studio albums in all, her latest "i'm not bossy, i'm the boss," in 2014. in 2010, when pope benedict xvi apologized to ireland to atone for decades of abuse, o'connor condemned the apology for not going far enough and called for catholics to boycott mass until there was a full investigation into the vatican's role. "people assumed i didn't believe in god. that's not the case at all. i'm catholic by birth and culture and would be the first at the church door if the vatican offered sincere reconciliation," she wrote in the washington post in 2010. o'connor announced in 2018 that she had converted to islam and would be adopting the name shuhada' davitt, later shuhada sadaqat, although she continued to use sinéad o'connor professionally. she was public about her struggles with mental health issues. diagnosed with bipolar disorder, she attempted suicide in 1999. when her teenage son shane died by suicide last year, o'connor tweeted there was "no point living without him." she was soon hospitalized. her final tweet, sent july 17, read: "for all mothers of suicided children," and linked to a tibetan compassion mantra. if you or someone you know is in emotional distress or a suicidal crisis, you can reach the 988 suicide & crisis lifeline by calling or texting 988. you can also chat with the 988 suicide & crisis lifeline here. one of the most photographed women of the sixties, actress, singer and style icon jane birkin (dec. 14, 1946 july 16, 2023) perhaps became best known for the highly desirable hermès fashion accessory that bore her name: the birkin bag. born in london, birkin was just 18 and married to james bond composer john barry when she appeared in michelangelo antonioni's 1966 classic "blow up," where she romped naked across the screen. but then barry left her and her daughter, kate. birkin went to paris to audition for the film "slogan" and was paired with serge gainsbourg, then building a reputation as the french bob dylan. he'd just come out of a very unhappy affair with brigitte bardot. birkin denied that that was intimidating: "no. i thought, 'gosh, if he'd been in love with the most beautiful woman in the world (which was bardot at the time) and if he could take a look at me…' to the contrary!" gainsbourg had written a song for bardot that he now wanted birkin to sing. "je t'aime… moi non plus," in which birkin suggestively moaned, was incendiary for its time, and was banned by the bbc. for 13 years, birkin and gainsbourg were an inseparable "it" couple, songwriter and muse, until the union was ended by his drinking problem. birkin, who had had another daughter with serge (renowned actress charlotte gainsbourg), moved in with french director jacques doillon; they had a daughter (lou, an award winning singer). but serge stayed in the picture, writing songs for birkin until his death in 1991. "and when serge died, everything else collapsed," she said. "nothing was really the same again." birkin and doillon split, and she focused on her three daughters. kate barry, her oldest, a successful photographer, battled depression. in 2013, kate fell from her apartment window, an apparent suicide. for nearly three years, birkin could barely leave her paris home. but in her 70s, birkin began to find her way again, touring the world with an orchestra performing serge gainsbourg's songs (including at a 2018 concert at new york's carnegie hall). yet, she became synonymous with a handbag, thanks to a serendipitous airline upgrade in 1983, when she was seated next to the ceo of hermès, to whom she suggested a larger variation of their popular handbag. he sketched out a design on a handy air sickness bag. the birkin bag was born. "sunday morning" correspondent anthony mason said to birkin in 2018, "it's so funny that, after all this, you might be known for a bag." "well, could be worse!" she laughed. in 2021 her daughter profiled birkin in the intimate documentary "jane by charlotte"   a testimonial to the mother daughter relationship that endured the intrusions of fame, from both sides, and to a life which birkin has forged for herself in france, partly in the spotlight, partly cloistered in nature, and partly paying tribute to her late lover serge. news of birkin's health   a cancer diagnosis, and a stroke   gave the film a somewhat uncomfortable immediacy of purpose (get mother on film before it's too late), but the bond the two shared was palpable, strong and entrancing. singer tony bennett (august 3, 1926 july 21, 2023) was one of the most popular interpreters of jazz, pop and broadway standards, thanks to his joyful and stirring renditions of such classics as "rags to riches," "the way you look tonight," and his signature song, "i left my heart in san francisco." the recipient of 20 grammy awards during his seven decade career, bennett recorded 60 studio albums and dozens of live albums and compilations. seven were top 10 albums on the billboard charts. but he was inextricably linked to one song above all others   a song that he first rehearsed without ever having set foot in san francisco. bennett recalled for "sunday morning" in 2014 how his music director, ralph sharon, found the song as they were headed to san francisco for the first time. the two rehearsed it one afternoon at a nightclub in little rock, arkansas: "and the bartender said, 'i don't wanna interrupt you two fellows, but if you ever record that, i'm gonna be the first guy to buy the record.' and we felt a little encouraged! and when i got to san francisco, at rehearsal i started singing it, everybody ran up to me and said, 'you've gotta record this song.' "most artists that are connected with one famous thing, they get upset: why should it just be one thing? what about all the other things that i do?" bennett told "sunday morning." "but i feel different. i love 'san francisco,' the song. i sing it every night like it was the first time i ever sang it." he would even sing it during a 1994 appearance on "mtv unplugged," in which he performed with elvis costello and k.d. lang. a recording of the concert went platinum and won two grammys, including album of the year. bennett earned a new generation of fans in 2014 when, at 88, he teamed with singer lady gaga, 60 years his junior, for an album of duets, "cheek to cheek"   standards that included "anything goes," "i can't give you anything but love," "let's face the music and dance," and "it don't mean a thing (if it ain't got that swing)." the album went to #1 and won the grammy for best traditional pop vocal album. raised in astoria, queens, bennett nurtured artistic expression both through music and art. he attended the high school of industrial art in manhattan where one art teacher told him, "'you know, you're a very good singer.' and he got all the other teachers mad at him, 'cause [i'm] supposed to be studying art, not music!" he dropped out of school to help support his family, earning money while singing in restaurants and saloons. after world war ii, thanks to the g.i. bill, bennett attended the american theatre wing, taking vocal classes. signed by columbia, bennett's first single, "because of you," went to #1 in 1951. he followed with such hits as "cold, cold heart," "rags to riches," "there'll be no teardrops tonight," "stranger in paradise," and "can you find it in your heart?" later hits by bennett included "the good life," "who can i turn to (when nobody needs me)," "fly me to the moon," "the shadow of your smile," and "for once in my life." bennett struggled in the 1970s, as musical tastes in the industry changed, and his albums didn't find an audience. he was without a manager or a recording label. his own record company failed. his live performances were limited to las vegas. having divorced his first wife, his second marriage was faltering. he had a drug addiction, and the irs initiated proceedings to take his house. bennett's son, danny, took over as manager, and got him re signed with columbia records; he also got his father on "mtv unplugged." "i realized that young people had never heard those songs," tony told aarp magazine. "cole porter, gershwin   they were like, 'who wrote that?'" in early 2021 bennett revealed in an article for aarp magazine that he was suffering from alzheimer's disease. he still rehearsed twice a week in his living room. and in august 2021 he performed what would be his final concert, at new york's radio city music hall, sharing the stage with lady gaga. his family wasn't sure he would be in condition to perform, but when it came time to rehearse, bennett's accompanist, lee musiker, began playing, and suddenly the legendary showman was back. he had no notes, no cue cards. he sang an hour long set from memory. on what was bennett's 95th birthday, a sell out crowd was waiting. his third wife, susan, told "60 minutes," "once he saw the audience, and, you know, and he raises his hands, i knew we were alright because he became himself. he just turned on. you know, it was like a light switch." bennett sang more than a dozen songs and got at least 20 standing ovations. a few days later, bennett had no memory of playing radio city at all. in the 2006 indie comedy "little miss sunshine," alan arkin (march 26, 1934 june 29, 2023) played the irascible, opinionated and heroin addicted grandfather of a dysfunctional family traveling cross country to enter their little girl in a kiddie beauty pageant. it's a role arkin almost didn't get. "they thought i was too virile for the part, which is the best turn down i've ever had in my life," arkin, then 72, told "sunday morning" in 2007. "little miss sunshine" was a hit at the sundance film festival. fox searchlight grabbed the distribution rights for a then record $10.5 million, and the movie went on to earn more than $100 million at the box office and four academy award nominations. arkin went home with an oscar for best supporting actor. in the beginning people paid attention to arkin not for his acting but for his singing, with a folk group called the tarriers. he did it for pocket money, at first, but after their hit, "the banana boat song" (which arkin co wrote), he questioned his career choice: "i got to the olympia theater in paris and i was playing the guitar and singing my brains out, and looked down at myself with my black satin pants on and my sports shirt opened to the navel. and i said, 'what the hell am i doing? who am i?' i said, 'i gotta get back to acting.' and i quit the next day   and starved for another couple of years." he joined second city, a bold new improvisational comedy group in chicago. it launched his acting career. he won a tony award for "enter laughing," and for his film debut, in "the russians are coming, the russians are coming," he received a best actor oscar nomination as a soviet submariner stranded in new england. two years later he received a second nomination playing a deaf mute in "the heart is a lonely hunter." the film roles cascaded: "wait until dark," "carch 22," "little murders," "popi," "last of the red hot lovers," "freebie and the bean," "rafferty and the gold dust twins," "hearts of the west," "the seven per cent solution," "the in laws," "simon," "the magician of lublin," "edward scissorhands," "glengarry glen ross," "grosse pointe blank," "get smart," "argo," and the tv series "the kominsky method"   each showing the range of arkin's ability to wring laughs, or heartache, from a character. on broadway, he directed the neil simon comedy "the sunshine boys," and elaine may's "taller than a dwarf." in a 2020 guardian interview, arkin, who'd just published a memoir titled "out of my mind," remarked on how, with age, he was less drawn to music and great books and more to solitude and silence: "looking at the garden. having a relationship with trees and flowers and the sky. that's what's profound to me now." when told he sounded like he was preparing for the end, arkin scoffed: "there is no end. there was no beginning and there is no end. we are all a part of that endless flow." scientist john goodenough (july 25, 1922 june 25, 2023) was a nobel prize recipient for his work developing the lithium ion battery. goodenough, who shared the 2019 prize in chemistry with m. stanley whittingham and akira yoshino, became, at 97, the oldest nobel winner in history. lithium ion batteries, the first truly portable and rechargeable batteries, took more than a decade to develop. goodenough, whittingham and yoshino each had unique breakthroughs that laid the foundation for developing a commercial rechargeable battery. whittingham's work in the 1970s harnessed the tendency of lithium, the lightest metal, to give away its electrons to make a battery capable of generating just over two volts. by 1980, goodenough had built on whittingham's work and doubled the battery's capacity to four volts by using cobalt oxide in the cathode, one of the two electrodes that make up the ends of a battery. that battery remained too explosive for general commercial use. yoshino's work in the 1980s eliminated the volatile pure lithium from the battery and instead opted for lithium ions that are safer. the first lightweight, safe, durable and rechargeable commercial batteries entered the market in 1991, transforming the world by making portable electronic devices such as cellphones, computers and pacemakers, as well as electric cars, feasible. goodenough, who was head of the inorganic chemistry laboratory at the university of oxford in england when he made his lithium ion discovery, joined the university of texas faculty in 1986, and was still teaching and researching battery materials and solid state science and engineering problems when he won the nobel prize. "live to 97 and you can do anything," goodenough said, adding he was grateful he hadn't been forced to retire at 65. actor frederic forrest (december 23, 1936 june 23, 2023) was best known for his performance as jay "chef" hicks, who accompanies martin sheen's captain willard upriver and encounters a tiger in the jungle, in the francis ford coppola classic "apocalypse now." that same year, he played an army deserter who becomes bette midler's lover in "the rose," for which he received an oscar nomination. his other film roles included "the conversation," "the missouri breaks," the musical "one from the heart," "hammett" (playing novelist dashiell hammett), "valley girl," "the two jakes," "tucker: the man and his dream," "music box," "falling down," and "all the king's men." born in waxahachie, texas, forrest studied theater in new york city, making his stage debut in 1966 in "viet rock," an off broadway musical. he then migrated to los angeles, where he captured tv roles, including a man wrongly confined in a mental ward in "larry." he played an assassin in "ruby and oswald"; a bandit in "lonesome dove"; policemen in "21 jump street" and "the deliberate stranger"; and an imprisoned civil war army sergeant in "andersonville." glenda jackson (may 9, 1936 june 15, 2023) had careers on two distinctly different stages: as an actress, she won two academy awards, two baftas and a tony; and, as a member of parliament for nearly a quarter century, she was a formidable spokesperson for labor issues and against conservative policies. born into a working class family in birkhenhead, northwest england, jackson trained at the royal academy of dramatic art in london, and performed with the royal shakespeare company. she became a leading star on stage in the avant garde drama "marat/sade," directed by peter brook. after transferring to broadway, the show earned jackson her first tony nomination, and she repeated her performance in the 1967 film version. she won her first oscar for ken russell's d.h. lawrence adaptation, "women in love," a powerful romantic drama costarring oliver reed and alan bates. jackson then won two emmys for her portrayal of queen elizabeth i in the bbc/"masterpiece theatre" series, "elizabeth r." she won her second academy award for a romantic comedy, playing a married man's mistress, in "a touch of class." she received two other oscar nominations in the '70s, for "sunday, bloody sunday" and "hedda." other notable films showed jackson's enormous breadth, and willingness to switch from serious or challenging roles ("mary, queen of scots"; "the music lovers"; "stevie," as the poet stevie smith; "the rainbow"), to frothy, lightweight fare ("nasty habits"; "house calls"; "hopscotch"; "turtle diary"). she earned three more tony nominations in the 1980s, for "rose," "strange interlude" and "macbeth." in her 50s, jackson dropped out of acting and went into politics, drawn into that world, she told "sunday morning" in 2018, by what she considered to be the socially destructive policies of the conservative prime minister margaret thatcher." "for me, the final straw was when she said there's no such thing as a society," jackson said. she won election to parliament in 1992 on the labor party ticket. she served as a minister for transport in prime minister tony blair's government in 1997, but came to be at odds with blair over the 2003 invasion of iraq. she said blair's decision to enter the u.s. led war without united nations' authorization left her "deeply, deeply ashamed." jackson's blunt manner and outspokenness continued throughout her political career. in 2013 when thatcher died and other mps paid polite tribute, she didn't: "everything i had been taught to regard as a vice   and i still regard them as vices   under thatcherism was in fact a virtue: greed, selfishness, no care for the weaker, sharp elbows, sharp knees," she said in parliament. she recalled, "i think they were surprised, because up until that point practically everything had been praise. i mean, talk about rewriting history. i mean, it was astonishing! but then they calmed down actually." once she decided to end her political career, it wasn't long before her old life came calling. she returned to the stage with one of the most artistic and physically demanding roles ever written: shakespeare's king lear. her gender bending turn opened at london's old vic in 2016 and later played on broadway. in 2018 she starred on broadway in the edward albee drama "three tall women." jackson took home a tony for her blistering portrayal of a difficult to deal with woman in her 90s. and her return to the screen in the movie "elizabeth is missing," playing a woman with alzheimer's trying to solve a mystery, earned her a second bafta. she recently completed filming "the great escaper," costarring michael caine. it was a stage in her life when she received meaty roles, after long and famously complaining about the lack of good parts for women. "i mean, i can remember when i was still doing films   and i'm going back a long way now   it was not infrequent to have a woman in a film to prove that the hero wasn't gay," jackson told "sunday morning." "i mean, you saw that was the kind of reason for being. we've still got a long, long way to go." though fame and commercial success came to him later in life, pulitzer prize winning author cormac mccarthy (july 20, 1933 june 13, 2023) had long earned critical acclaim for his novels, written in prose that drew comparison to william faulkner. set in the stark and forbidding landscapes and rundown communities of appalachia and the southwest, mccarthy's works are populated with drifters, violent criminals and broken men, fated to suffer, and to cause suffering. in addition to his "border trilogy" novels set along the mexico border (the national book award winning "all the pretty horses," "the crossing," and "cities of the plain"), mccarthy wrote "no country for old men" (adapted by joel and ethan coen into a film that won four oscars, including best picture), the post apocalyptic father and son journey "the road" (winner of the pulitzer prize), and "blood meridian," an ultra violent tale of bounty hunters along the texas mexico border murdering indians, which has been hailed as one of the greatest american novels. mccarthy, who was raised in knoxville, tennessee, wrote his first novel, 1965's "the orchard keeper," while working as an auto mechanic in chicago. he sent it to faulker's editor at random house, albert erskine, who would become mccarthy's longtime editor. he followed with the novels "outer dark," "child of god," and "suttree." he received a macarthur fellowship (the so called "genius grant") in 1981, which he used to research "blood meridian." he also wrote two plays, "the stonemason" and "the sunset limited," and several screenplays, including "the gardener's son" and "the counselor." in 2007, after oprah winfrey chose "the road" for her book club, mccarthy consented to a rare interview, in which he described to winfrey the book's origin: a trip he took with his young son to el paso, texas, early in the decade. standing at the window of a hotel in the middle of the night as his son slept nearby, he started to imagine what el paso might look like 50 or 100 years in the future. "i just had this image of these fires up on the hill ... and i thought a lot about my little boy," he said. there would be a long period of silence from mccarthy   15 years   until news of two connected novels to be published back to back in 2022: "the passenger" and "stella maris," narratives about a brother and sister, mutually obsessed siblings, and the legacy of their father, a physicist who had worked on atomic technology. both would be new york times bestsellers. when asked by winfrey if he was passionate about writing, mccarthy said, "i like what i do. "some writers have said in print that they hated writing, it was just a chore and a burden. i certainly don't feel that way about it. sometimes it's difficult but you always have this image of the perfect thing which you can never achieve but which you never stop trying to achieve," he said. "that's your signpost and your guide. you can't plot things out. you just have to trust in, you know, wherever it comes from." actor treat williams (december 1, 1951 june 12, 2023) appeared in more than 120 film and tv roles, most notably in the movies "hair" and "prince of the city" (both of which earned him golden globe nominations), "once upon a time in america," "smooth talk," and the tv series "everwood," in which he starred as dr. andrew brown, a widowed brain surgeon from manhattan who moves with his two children to a colorado mountain town. other film credits included "the eagle has landed," "1941," "the pursuit of d.b. cooper," "flashpoint," "things to do in denver when you're dead," "mulholland falls," "deep rising," and "127 hours." he starred opposite ann margret and beverly d'angelo in a tv adaptation of "a streetcar named desire," garnering a third golden globe nomination; he also earned an emmy nomination for his role in the tv movie "the late shift," playing hollywood agent michael ovitz. other tv credits included "j. edgar hoover," "heartland," "chicago fire," "chesapeake shores," "the christmas house," and "blue bloods." his stage appearances included the broadway shows "grease," "the pirates of penzance," and "follies." biologist roger payne (january 29, 1935 june 10, 2023) spurred a worldwide environmental conservation movement with his discovery that whales could sing. during a 1967 research trip to bermuda, in which a navy engineer provided him with a recording of curious underwater sounds documented while listening for russian submarines, payne identified the haunting tones as songs whales sing to one another. he saw the discovery of whale song as a chance to spur interest in saving the giant animals, who were disappearing from the planet. in 1970 payne produced the album "songs of the humpback whale." a surprise hit, the record galvanized a global movement to end the practice of commercial whale hunting and save the whales from extinction. the impact of the whale song discovery on the nascent environmental movement was immense. payne's album remains the best selling environmental album in history. payne founded ocean alliance in 1971 to advocate for the protection of whales and dolphins. the organization played a role in the 1972 passage of the marine mammal protection act, and the 1982 commercial whaling moratorium passed by the international whaling commission. whale song also entered the popular imagination, such as in "star trek iv: the voyage home," in which the crew of the enterprise travels back in time to retrieve whales that could communicate via whale song with an alien probe. in a 2021 interview with nautilus quarterly payne said he knew almost instantly that the sounds were indeed whales once he heard the recording in the loud engine room of the research vessel. "in spite of the racket, what i heard blew my mind," he said. françoise gilot (november 26, 1921 june 6, 2023) was 22 when she painted her self portrait in 1944, soon after she'd started a relationship with a much older artist, pablo picasso. when asked in 2017 by "sunday morning" whether it was intimidating to be working in the shadow of a master, gilot laughed: "if you have to be intimidated, then you don't go there. either you have courage, or you don't in life. if you have courage, you receive a few bumps here and there. but on the whole, it's more interesting." gilot's very interesting life took a turn after attending law school for two years. "it has been very helpful to me," she said. "because a painter is a man or woman who has to do contracts, and the dealers are not the most reliable people sometimes." it was in 1943, during the german occupation of paris, that gilot met picasso. she was 21; he was 61. gilot would later write, "it was a catastrophe i didn't want to avoid." while picasso frequently used her image as inspiration, gilot continued quietly working herself, not (she reflected) showing too much personality. they would spend 10 years together, and have two children, claude and paloma. but then gilot became the only one of picasso's women to walk away. she recalled his self assurance: "'ha, ha, ha. nobody leaves a man like me!' i said, 'wait and see!'" gilot's 1964 memoir, "life with picasso," became an international bestseller, despite the artist's attempts in court to block publication. she moved to the u.s., and attracted another giant of the 20th century: dr. jonas salk, pioneer of the polio vaccine. they married in 1970. gilot continued working in new york city, creating thousands of paintings. when asked at age 95 if she would give up painting, she replied, "no. why should i? it will give me up. but i won't give it up. i don't want to commit suicide. and nobody wants to kill me. so, what can i do?" brazilian singer astrud gilberto (march 29, 1940 june 5, 2023) was born into a musical family, one that was also at ease with foreign languages (her mother was a singer and violinist, her father a linguistics professor). as a teenager, she joined a circle of musical friends that would grow to include a rising star in rio's emerging bossa nova scene, singer songwriter guitarist joão gilberto, whom she soon married. astrud became an overnight, unexpected superstar in 1964, thanks to knowing just enough english to be recruited by the makers of the classic bossa nova album "getz/gilberto" (featuring saxophonist stan getz) to sing the wistful ballad, "the girl from ipanema." already a hit in south america, the song's lyrics were rewritten to include english to expand its appeal. astrud joined joão in the studio, singing the chorus. tall and tan and young and lovely the girl from ipanema goes walking and when she passes each one she passes goes, "ah" in a 2002 interview posted on her website, astrud recalled, "i'll never forget that while we were listening back to the just recorded song at the studio's control room, stan said to me, with a very dramatic expression: 'this song is going to make you famous.'" "getz/gilberto" sold more than 2 million copies, and "the girl from ipanema" became an all time standard   one of the most covered songs of all time. the song won a grammy in 1965 for record of the year, and gilberto earned nominations for best new artist and best vocal performance. astrud's light, affectless style made her a worldwide voice of bossa nova, and would influence such singers as sade and suzanne vega. she would go on to release 16 albums, including "the astrud gilberto album," "beach samba" and "the shadow of your smile," and record with such artists as chet baker and george michael. but by 2002 she had essentially retired from the business, dedicating her later years to animal rights activism and the visual arts. she was awarded a latin grammy for lifetime achievement in 2008. singer tina turner (november 26, 1939 may 24, 2023) had a smoldering voice and aggressive dance moves that powered a five decade career as one of the biggest stars in rock music. she sold more than 200 million records, including such classics as "proud mary," "what's love got to do with it," "private dancer," and "we don't need another hero." "i had the strange voice that most girl singers didn't have," she admitted to "sunday morning" in 2018. "deep, like now, and even it goes deeper," she said. but at the beginning she didn't like her voice: "i thought it was kind of ugly because it didn't sound like diana ross. but then afterwards i thought, 'yeah, it sounds like the guys.'" born in nutbush, tennessee, anna mae bullock   a tomboy from a broken home   saw ike turner perform at a st. louis nightclub. she had conflicting reactions: "i thought he was the ugliest person i'd ever seen," she told "sunday morning." "but he had a presence. and then i watched him when he got on stage and he started. i thought, 'oh, wow, i wanna sing with that band!'" and when her voice was tracked on a demo recording of "a fool in love," it made its way to the president of sue records, who convinced ike to put the dancer up front. the ike & tina turner revue became one of the most successful acts of the late '60s and '70s, opening for the rolling stones in 1966 and 1969, and producing such hits as "a fool in love," "it's going to work out fine," "poor fool," "river deep   mountain high," "i've been loving you too long," "come together," "i want to take you higher," and "proud mary," their highest charted song. ike controlled all aspects of the revue (not least of which he picked out her stage name, tina) and was physically and emotionally abusive. he forced her to perform even when she suffered with bronchitis, pneumonia, and a collapsed right lung. "he was cruel because he depended on me," tina said. "he didn't like that he had had to depend on me. and i didn't want to start a fight because it was always a black eye, a broken nose, a busted lip, a rib." she credited her emerging buddhist faith in the mid 1970s with giving her a sense of strength and self worth. she finally left him in early july 1976, sneaking out of a dallas hotel room while ike slept, with only a mobil credit card and 36 cents. "i felt that i've had enough, just enough, enough. now it's time to go out the door. i had nothing. i had absolutely nothing. thirty six cents, that was all." physically battered, emotionally devastated and financially ruined, turner strove to remake herself as a solo artist. though her first album flopped, she performed with other rock stars who helped bring her into the spotlight again. rod stewart convinced her to sing "hot legs" with him on "saturday night live," and jagger sang "honky tonk women" with her during the stones' 1981 82 tour. her album "private dancer," released in may 1984, sold more than eight million copies and featured several hit singles, including the title track, "better be good to me," and "what's love got to do with it," a song she'd originally turned down. but she went into the studio and "applied my voice." at age 44, tina turner had her first #1 single. it would become her signature song, and a grammy winner for record of the year. her 1986 memoir "i, tina," expanded in grisly detail the horrors of her former husband's abuse. [ike, who did not deny mistreating her, died in 2007.] speaking out candidly about suffering from domestic abuse, turner became a heroine to battered women, and a symbol of resilience. the story of her suffering behind the scenes was dramatized in the 1993 film "what's love got to do with it," starring angela bassett and laurence fishburne (both of whom were oscar nominated). she was voted into the rock and roll hall of fame in 1991 with ike (and again, on her own, in 2021), and was a kennedy center honoree in 2005. turner performed her last tour in 2007, and settled into retirement in switzerland. in her later years she endured a stroke, intestinal cancer, kidney failure (her second husband, erwin bach, donated one of his to her), and the death by suicide of her 59 year old son, craig turner. she was executive producer of the 2019 broadway musical "tina," which earned its star, adrienne warren, a tony award for her physically demanding performance. when asked if there is anything more in life that she wanted, turner told "sunday morning," "no. i have everything. when i sit at the lake zurich in the house that i have, i am so serene. no problems. i had a very hard life. but i didn't put blame on anything or anyone. i got through it, i lived through it with no blame. and i'm a happy person." pitcher vida blue (july 28, 1949 may 6, 2023) was one of baseball's leading lights in the early 1970s. a six time all star, blue helped pitch the oakland athletics to three consecutive world series titles, from 1972 74. (only the 1998 2000 new york yankees have repeated that accomplishment.) called up before his 20th birthday, in 1970 he became the fourth youngest player in history to throw a no hitter, at age 21. blue was voted the 1971 american league cy young award winner and the league's most valuable player after going 24 8 with a 1.82 era and 301 strikeouts. he recorded 24 complete games, including eight shutouts. but, with a salary of only $14,000, blue was called "the most underpaid player in baseball" by president richard nixon. blue clashed publicly with a's owner charlie o. finley, and was traded twice, only to be blocked each time by baseball commissioner bowie kuhn. in 2013 blue (one of the first players to bring an attorney to the negotiating table) talked with cbs news radio about the business of baseball: "the owners are real savvy in how they sign players, and players are real savvy in how they, you know, approach getting their raises," he said. "it's cruel sometimes. fans may not understand it. but owners and general managers, that's how they make their living through the business of baseball." his career was derailed by drug problems; in 1983 blue was released by the royals and ordered to serve three months in federal prison and fined $5,000 for misdemeanor possession of approximately a tenth of an ounce of cocaine. he returned to baseball in 1985 for two seasons with the giants. blue finished with a 209 161 record, with a 3.27 era, 2,175 strikeouts, 143 complete games and 37 shutouts over 17 seasons with oakland, san francisco and kansas city. "it tarnished my image," blue told the washington post in 2021. "not that i was squeaky clean. i didn't have a halo and [stuff], but i had a reputation of being a respectable, reputable person. i worked my tail off to polish that image back up and renew the name vida blue jr. but it's a constant battle to do that every day." canadian singer songwriter gordon lightfoot (november 17, 1938 may 1, 2023) sang of lives lost in shipwrecks and love gone bad. considered one of the most renowned voices to emerge from toronto's yorkville folk club scene in the 1960s, it was in his hometown of orelia that lightfoot remembers singing for his first audience, standing on his grandmother's kitchen table. "i remember the applause," he said. he grew up performing in church choirs and barber shop quartets. in 1958, he made a bold move: heading to los angeles to study music. his big break came in 1965, when peter, paul and mary recorded his song, "for lovin' me." lightfoot went on to record 20 studio albums. he penned hundreds of songs, including "carefree highway" and "sundown," many of which were recorded by a galaxy of stars, from barbra streisand, harry belafonte, johnny cash and bob dylan, to the grateful dead, elvis presley, jane's addiction and sarah mclachlan. most of his songs were deeply autobiographical, with lyrics that probed his own experiences in a frank manner, and explored issues surrounding the canadian national identity. "if you could read my mind," followed the breakup of his first marriage. "early morning rain" was sparked by homesickness. his chart topping "sundown" was a chronicle of infidelity. his 1975 song "the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald" was inspired by a great lakes ore freighter meeting disaster. "newsweek magazine gave about a half a page and a little tiny photograph about this big. and i said, 'that's not good enough for this type of thing to go by totally unnoticed.'" other hits included "i'm not sayin'," "ribbon of darkness," "you are what i am," "rainy day people," and "the circle is small (i can see it in your eyes)." perhaps no lightfoot song was more canadian than 1966's "canadian railroad trilogy," which chronicled the building of the trans canada railroad. unlike others who found success in the united states and stayed, lightfoot returned to his homeland, a matter of pride in canada, where he wound up on a postage stamp. and even into his 70s he was still touring. "when you walk out in front of a crowd, you really got to give it everything   never less than what they expect from you," he told "sunday morning" in 2013. the one time news anchor and mayor of cincinnati in the late 1970s, jerry springer (february 13, 1944 april 27, 2023) became a household name as host of the controversial and contentious syndicated television show which showcased homewreckers, strippers, and violent on air brawls for 27 colorful seasons, until 2018. it held the honors of both topping oprah winfrey's show in the ratings, and being proclaimed by tv guide "the worst tv show ever." born to german jewish immigrants in an underground bomb shelter in london during world war ii, springer came to u.s. at age five. he studied political science at tulane university and got a law degree from northwestern. he entered the political arena as an aide in robert f. kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign. working for a cincinnati law firm, springer ran unsuccessfully for congress in 1970, before being elected to city council in 1971. he abruptly resigned in 1974, later admitting it was due to an investigation into his having solicited prostitutes. (he'd paid them with personal checks.) but he quickly bounced back, winning a council seat in 1975 and serving as mayor in 1977. he later became a local tv politics reporter. springer began his talk show in 1991 in a more traditional format, but two years later, it got a sleazy makeover. in the late 1990s springer offered a defense for the obscenity laced content he broadcast. "look, television does not and must not create values, it's merely a picture of all that's out there   the good, the bad, the ugly … believe this: the politicians and companies that seek to control what each of us may watch are a far greater danger to america and our treasured freedom than any of our guests ever were or could be." he added that his guests volunteered to be on the show, and consequently volunteered to be subjected to ridicule or humiliation for their misbehavior. and there was a lot of it: porn stars, teenage adulterers, abusive lovers, cheating newlyweds, a man "married" to a horse, and someone described as a "kung fu hillbilly." and it wasn't all escapist entertainment. in 2002 a man was convicted of killing his ex wife, and of violating a domestic violence order, just weeks after they and another woman (whom he'd secretly married) were featured on a "jerry springer" episode about love triangles. springer used his celebrity to headline a liberal radio talk show, host "america's got talent," compete on "dancing with the stars," and star in the nationally syndicated "judge jerry." "with all the joking i do with the show, i'm fully aware and thank god every day that my life has taken this incredible turn because of this silly show," springer told the cincinnati enquirer in 2011. later, in his twitter biography, springer would describe himself as a "ringmaster of civilization's end." blessed with a movie star's good looks, an activist's anger, and a voice that told songs of struggle, loss and sweet memory, harry belafonte (march 1, 1927 april 25, 2023) moved generations with both his rhythm and his rage, catching the social conscience of the nation as he caught their ear with such hits as "day o," "matilda," and "jamaica farewell." the first artist to sell a million albums with the 1956 release of "calypso," belafonte would go on to become an egot winner (earning an emmy, a grammy, an oscar and a tony), a kennedy center honoree, and a recipient of the national medal of arts. but his influence would become even more pronounced as an advocate for social justice at home and abroad, serving as a unicef goodwill ambassador. he supported efforts for education, the eradication of nuclear weapons, and the fight against hiv/aids and apartheid. born in new york city to immigrant parents from the caribbean, belafonte said that as a child they were so poor his mother, a domestic worker, sent him and his brother to live for years in her native jamaica. growing up, he wrote in his memoir "my song," poverty was a constant companion. "it still nourishes my thinking," he told "sunday morning" in 2011. "it still nourishes my passion." he returned to new york and, at age 17 and a high school dropout, belafonte joined the navy to fight in world war ii. "took me out of the rough and tough of the streets of harlem and it gave me an environment where things were disciplined," he said. "there was an objective. there was a purpose. there was an enemy." but his hopes that the discrimination he experienced as a black man would end with the war were dashed: "i came back home to find out that nothing had changed. black people were still being lynched, were still being denied. we were still being cruelly relegated to second class experiences." working as a janitor in a harlem apartment building, he was given tickets by a tenant to the theater, which he had never attended. "it was an epiphany; something so inordinately powerful just sucked me in." he began taking acting classes, with a bunch of misfits: marlon brando, walter matthau, bea arthur and tony curtis. he sang to pay for classes. in addition to jazz standards, he also brought back traditional songs from his childhood, building a repertoire of haitian and spanish folk songs and calypso, trying out material at the famed village vanguard. belafonte landed a recording contract. "calypso" brought his singing everywhere. he was cast in films like "island in the sun," but in an era of continued segregation, studios didn't know what to do with him. the producers of "carmen jones" dubbed his singing voice with that of an opera singer, and the script for the end of the world drama "the world, the flesh and the devil" was rewritten when the chemistry between belafonte and his white female co star proved too romantic. "my thought was, you can't change hollywood. what you've got to do is change america," he said. so, he began to spend more time on social causes. dr. martin luther king, jr. called belafonte, asking for the singer's help. he became one of king's confidants and a big contributor to the civil rights movement, helping to organize the march on washington. in the years that followed, belafonte threw himself into humanitarian work. witnessing famine first hand in africa, he had the idea to gather some of the biggest recording artists of the 1980s to perform "we are the world," raising millions for famine relief. and belafonte began to speak out, sometimes stridently, about u.s. foreign policy. "i think that the patriotic citizen is commanded and demanded to raise his or her voice on issues that he thinks are to the best interest of the nation," he says. "and that's what i do. i have a platform. i speak out." but music would continue to be his biggest platform for justice. in 1961 belafonte began a recording project, "the long road to freedom," to preserve the richness of music from the black diaspora. because of changes at record labels, and shifts in popular culture, the album would not be finalized and released until 40 years later. the five cd album was critically praised, and was nominated for three grammys. of the long in the works album, he told "sunday morning" in 2001, "i'm more proud of the journey, the men and women whom i met along the way who brought their passion and their hopes to it. this is a validation, a gift from them. so, i'm kind of glad that, as i sit in what i call the spring of my winter years in life, i should have heard all this before i become just a memory." a former professional ballroom dancer and british champion, len goodman (april 25, 1944 april 22, 2023) was a head judge on the british competition series "strictly come dancing," beginning in 2004, and on its american iteration, "dancing with the stars," which debuted the following year. he would be with "dwts" for most of its run until 2022, during which time ballroom dancing saw a resurgence in interest on both sides of the atlantic. as a young man, goodman worked as a shipyard welder for the same company that built the titanic. he got into dancing as the result of a foot injury. "i had an old scottish doctor who told me to go ballroom dancing; he said it was very good for your feet because you're going up and down a lot," goodman told the guardian in 2006. "i really didn't want to go, i kicked up a right fuss. but once i'd been for a couple of weeks, i really loved it. i realized i had a bit of a talent for it." as a professional he won the british championships, and opened a dancing school in kent. a charming and pithy englishman with a cockney accent and an endearing fondness for colorful exaltations ("you floated across that floor like butter on a crumpet"), goodman once referred to himself as "a cup of tea in a world of skinny lattés." as a judge he was encouraging, occasionally harsh and dismissive, but always, to most eyes, fair   and certainly appreciative when a celebrity contestant's talent would blossom on the dance floor. goodman recalled a valuable piece of advice that came from his father: "he said that a person only needs three things in their life: work, a marriage and a hobby. when you boil it down, those are the only important things. i've always thought that was a great bit of advice. and i am very fortunate that i've had a job that was also my hobby." "i had no intention of being an actor," barry humphries (february 17, 1934 april 22, 2023) told "sunday morning" in 2010. "i thought i was going to be a painter, or a lawyer, something like that. i drifted into the theater   i still do, every night i just drift into the theater. i drift across the stage and sometimes i say to the audience, 'i'm making this up as i go along.' and they laugh, but it's true!" the australian comedian was best known for the creation that overtook his life: mrs. norm everage, a dowdy melbourne housewife who would in time transform into the glamorous, globetrotting dame edna   international celebrity, talk show host, and ebullient fixture of show business for nearly seven decades. edna was born from a university skit, and to humphries' surprise (and, he says, annoyance), people loved her from the start. she hosted a u.k. tv show, "the dame edna experience," in which the fake interviewer talked with real celebrities like sean connery and charlton heston. her 1992 autobiography became a bestseller ... on non fiction lists. even the 1988 death of the fictional star's fictional husband, norm everage, was reported by a real bbc newscaster. [a grieving edna told reporters that she missed her husband, "early on, you know, for the first couple of hours."] humphries, meanwhile, was relegated to being edna's "manager." she described him as "a sad person … a failure. and he resents the fact that i'm so popular." which had the sting of truth. humphries, who was married four times, suffered from alcoholism and depression. he toured for as much as nine months out of the year, impacting his family. humphries appeared in one man shows around the world for more than 60 years, more times than not in drag, and in 1979 won an olivier award for best comedy performance for "a night with dame edna." edna appeared on broadway three times, and in 2000, humphries won a tony award for his solo show, "dame edna: the royal tour." he also acted on stage and in films under his own name, including "oliver!," "waiting for godot," "bedazzled," "the getting of wisdom," "spice world," "nicholas nickleby," and "absolutely fabulous: the movie." he wrote for the satirical magazine private eye, had a bbc series of his own, and voiced bruce the shark in "finding nemo." and while he created other characters as well   sir les patterson, an idiotic diplomat; sandy stone, "australia's most boring man"   dame edna was his most popular, cheerily greeting her audiences with "hello, possums," and tossing gladiolas from the stage. but she wasn't averse to insult comedy. "do you live on an unpaved road?" she once asked an audience member. "it looks like you tried to put your makeup on in the car." never mind that edna (whom humphries said was inspired, in part, by his mother) could be very un pc. humphries was circumspect about how her humor would fly in the face of political correctness and puritanism. "edna says what they dare not say; she speaks her mind. her observations, very often quite prejudiced, are often quite acute," he said. does she ever go too far? "always," he said, "but never to the point of alienating her audience, or hurting them." and though he accepted that his character was far more famous than the man who played her, he told "sunday morning" that there was an advantage to keeping his association with her: "it does mean i have to mention her name if i want to get a good table in a restaurant!" the fashion icon whose styles epitomized the swinging '60s, british designer dame mary quant (february 11, 1930 april 13, 2023) helped popularize (some say invented) the miniskirt, and the tights that went with it. her sexy and fun dresses and accessories influenced youth culture around the world, shaping the look of the era. her impact on fashion was, some said, as powerful as the beatles' impact on music   a palpable youthquake. opening in 1955, her chelsea shop, bazaar, attracted younger customers. "snobbery has gone out of fashion, and in our shops you will find duchesses jostling with typists to buy the same dress," quant once said. she called the store "a sophisticated candy store for grown ups." though minidresses had been spotted on french runways in the early '60s, quant's version introduced in 1966   with hemlines up to 8 inches above the knee, and named after the british car, the mini   proved a hit, in part because of their propensity to shock older tastes. "it was the girls on king's road who invented the mini," quant said. "i was making clothes which would let you run and dance and we would make them the length the customer wanted. i wore them very short, and the customers would say, 'shorter, shorter.'" hot pants and micro minis would follow. an astute businesswoman, quant branched out into other areas, such as cosmetics and kitchenware, to foster her brand. mad magazine cartoonist al jaffee (march 13, 1921 april 10, 2023) was one of the humor publication's longest running contributors, satirizing politics and culture, and delighting readers with his fold ins and "snappy answers to stupid questions" until he retired, in 2020, at age 99. the premise of his fold in (a spoof of a playboy magazine foldout) was that a full page illustration and text would be collapsed at its midpoint, providing a surprise image and caption. one early fold in depicted republican presidential contenders nelson rockefeller and barry goldwater; when the page was collapsed, the image became richard nixon. his parodies of advertisements included such future real life products as automatic redialing for a telephone, a computer spell checker, and graffiti proof surfaces. he also anticipated peelable stamps, multiblade razors and self extinguishing cigarettes. in a 2016 interview with the guardian, jaffee said mad magazine's purpose was to expose "bloviators," but not in a preachy way: "we think it's kind of a public service. we don't favor one particular politician over another, we're just looking for the politician that's trying to pull the wool over our eyes and just exaggerate what they're saying and then it speaks for itself." as a teenager he'd settled in new york city, where he attended the high school of music & art. his schoolmates included future mad editor harvey kurtzmann and future mad illustrator will elder. before mad, jaffee drew for stan lee at timely comics (which became marvel comics), and for the new york herald tribune. various collections of jaffee's fold ins have been published. and when jon stewart and his "daily show" writers put together the bestselling "america (the book)," released in 2004, they asked jaffee to contribute a fold in. brooklyn born character actor michael lerner (june 22, 1941 april 8, 2023) earned an academy award nomination for his blistering performance as a 1940s movie studio mogul in the coen brothers comedy "barton fink." lerner began acting as a teenager, and played willie loman in "death of a salesman" while attending brooklyn college. he received a fulbright scholarship and studied theater at the london academy of music and dramatic arts. for a time he shared an apartment with yoko ono, and appeared alongside john lennon in ono's 1968 short film, "smile." moving to los angeles, lerner was cast in tv ("mash," "the brady bunch," "the rockford files") and films ("alex in wonderland," "the postman always rings twice," "eight men out"). he played jack ruby in the tv movie "ruby and oswald," and pierre salinger in "the missiles of october." in 2016 lerner, who'd auditioned for joel and ethan coen for "miller's crossing," recalled how he read for "barton fink," for the role of studio head jack lipnick, a boisterous performance that, he said, was inspired by preston sturges movies: "so, i walked into the room, as the character, and i don't say hello to anybody. and i sit down behind my desk and do this big speech: 'bart! bart! so great to see you.' i did the monologue the way i wanted to do it and i just walked out of the room and that was it. and joel and ethan were just sitting in a corner just laughing and laughing and that was it." lerner said the coens didn't give him much acting direction and were "a little nervous that i was talking so fast," but they let him do what he wanted. lerner also appeared in eddie murphy's "harlem nights," "elf," woody allen's "celebrity," "godzilla" (as mayor ebert), "x men: days of future past," and "mirror mirror." he said he never felt cheated by being known as a "character actor" rather than a leading man. in a 1999 interview with cigar aficionado, he said, simply, "every role is a character role." in 1947, at the age of 27, and with no previous trial experience, harvard law graduate benjamin ferencz (march 11, 1920 april 7, 2023), an investigator of nazi war crimes against u.s. soldiers as part of a new war crimes section of the judge advocate's office, became chief prosecutor for a case in which 22 former nazi commanders were tried for genocidal war crimes. born in transylvania in 1920, ferencz had immigrated as a very young boy with his jewish parents to new york to escape rampant antisemitism. after harvard, he joined the u.s. army, taking part in the invasion of normandy. when u.s. intelligence reports described soldiers encountering large groups of starving people in nazi camps watched over by ss guards, ferencz followed up with visits, first at the ohrdruf labor camp in germany and then at the notorious buchenwald concentration camp. at those camps and later others, he found bodies "piled up like cordwood" and "helpless skeletons with diarrhea, dysentery, typhus, tb, pneumonia, and other ailments, retching in their louse ridden bunks or on the ground with only their pathetic eyes pleading for help," ferencz wrote in an account of his life. "the buchenwald concentration camp was a charnel house of indescribable horrors," ferencz wrote. "there is no doubt that i was indelibly traumatized by my experiences as a war crimes investigator of nazi extermination centers. i still try not to talk or think about the details." because of his experiences as a war crimes investigator, after the war he was recruited to help prosecute nazi war criminals at the nuremberg trials. twenty two men   einsatzgruppen commanders   were charged with murdering more than one million people, not in concentration camps, but in towns and villages across eastern europe. rather than depending on witnesses, ferencz mostly relied on official german documents to make his case. all the defendants were convicted, and more than a dozen were sentenced to death by hanging even though ferencz hadn't asked for the death penalty. "i will tell you something very profound, which i have learned after many years," ferencz told "60 minutes" in 2017. "war makes murderers out of otherwise decent people. all wars, and all decent people." ferencz later worked for a consortium of jewish charitable groups to help holocaust survivors regain properties, homes, businesses, art works, torah scrolls, and other jewish religious items that had been confiscated from them by the nazis. he championed the creation of an international court which could prosecute any government's leaders for war crimes. when the international criminal court in the hague was created in 1998, ferencz delivered the closing argument in the court's first case. in 2008, in a foreword to the post iraq invasion book "george w. bush: war criminal?" ferencz wrote, "the reputation of the united states has been soiled by its staunch opposition to the international criminal court and to allowing any international or foreign tribunal to try american nationals for aggression or any other war crimes." in 2021 he wrote "parting words: 9 lessons for a remarkable life." "i'm still in there fighting," ferencz, then age 97, told "60 minutes." "and you know what keeps me going? i know i'm right." an early lesson for comedian mark russell (august 23, 1932 march 30, 2023) was, "don't talk about politics or religion." lesson not learned! for more than 50 years, the buffalo native and washington institution was a satirist with a never ending font of inspiration: politicians. beginning as a nightclub entertainer at hotels and strip joints during the eisenhower administration, russell was a poke in the eye to politicos of all stripes, mocking power games and peccadilloes in the nation's capital, and basically assuring all that no emperors ever wear clothes. richard nixon may have been the gift that kept giving for comedians, but his resignation marked a sea change for russell. "when watergate was over," he once said, "i had to go back to writing my own material." beginning in the 1970s, with his nationally televised comedy specials on pbs and a regular stint at ford's theatre, russell still had ford and carter and reagan and clinton and two bushes to kick around. and he really had no shortage of material: he quipped that he had 535 writers, courtesy of the congressional record. in 2001, following the inauguration of president george w. bush, russell shared his gimlet take on the transfer of party rule with "sunday morning": "they say, 'well, we're going to restore civility.' restore? what civility are they going to restore? i've lived here all my life. you want civility? move to finland!" musician and composer ryuichi sakamoto (january 17, 1952 march 28, 2023) was a pioneer of electronic music, who also became a familiar name from film scores, winning an oscar and a grammy for co writing music for bernardo bertolucci's "the last emperor." born in tokyo, sakamoto studied music beginning at age 10; his influences included debussy and the beatles. in the 1970s he co founded the yellow magic orchestra (ymo) with haruomi hosono and yukihiro takahashi. their synth pop and techno tracks, performed on arp, moog and buchla synthesizers, became international hits, including "computer game/firecracker," "technopolis," "rydeen" and "cue." the group released eight studio albums and 15 live albums between 1978 and 2015. sakamoto also released 22 solo albums, including "thousand knives," "b 2 unit," "esperanto," "futurista," "neo geo," "beauty," "heartbeat," "sweet revenge," "chasm," and "out of noise." as an actor he starred opposite david bowie in the 1983 film "merry christmas, mr. lawrence," for which sakamoto wrote the music, including the title track. his other scores include "the sheltering sky," "high heels," "the handmaid's tale," "snake eyes," "femme fatale," "wuthering heights," "little buddha," "the revenant," and the oliver stone tv series "wild palms." he shared an oscar, grammy and golden globe for his "last emperor" score with his collaborators, david byrne (of talking heads) and cong su. a pacifist and environmental activist, sakamoto spoke out against nuclear power following the fukushima nuclear plant meltdowns in 2011 that were triggered by an earthquake and tsunami. his 2017 album, "async," features the frail and haunting sounds of a piano that had been damaged by floodwaters from the tsunami. "of course, it was totally out of tune," he told the new york times, "but i thought it was beautiful. i thought: 'nature tuned it.'" battling cancer, in january sakamoto released a full length album, "12," on his 71st birthday. he said in a statement that composing it had a "small healing effect on my damaged body and soul." "and here comes willis, and the crowd is going wild!" an all star seven times over, the nba's most valuable player in 1970, and a hall of fame inductee, new york knicks center and captain willis reed (june 25, 1942 march 21, 2023) had sat out game 6 of the 1970 nba championship series against the los angeles lakers due to a thigh muscle injury. when a seventh game was forced at madison square garden, knicks fans cheered when reed was spotted coming towards the court. though working with a limp, reed made two quick jump shots in the early minutes of the game, and an energized knicks (including a blazing walt frazier, who scored 36 points with 19 assists) rolled over the lakers 113 99, winning their first nba title. a native of hico, louisiana, reed led grambling state to three southwestern athletic conference championships, and an naia title in 1961. a second round draft pick for the knicks in 1964, he was voted rookie of the year after scoring 1,560 points. playing alongside such future hall of famers as frazier, bill bradley and dave debusschere, reed would become the anchor of the knicks in an era when they were one of basketball's premier teams. injuries kept reed off the court for much of the 1971 72 season, but the following year he led the knicks to their second title. described by nba commissioner adam silver as "the ultimate team player and consummate leader," reed would score more than 12,000 points and 8,400 rebounds over ten seasons, averaging 18.7 points and 12.9 rebounds per game. reed went on to coach the knicks to a playoff berth in 1977 78, and also coached the new jersey nets and creighton university. he later served as an executive for the knicks, as senior vice president of basketball operations. in 1996 reed was named among the 50 greatest players in nba history. in 2016 he talked to the new york times about walking into madison square garden now: "when i walk in and see my number (19) hanging from the ceiling, that's what i'm most proud of. i think to myself that all the hard work paid off." character actor lance reddick (june 7, 1962 march 17, 2023) specialized in playing intense authority figures on tv and in films. he was best known as lt. cedric daniels on hbo's "the wire." a yale school of drama graduate, reddick was also a musician, who studied classical composition at the eastman school of music. but his efforts to break into the music industry were coming up short, and his odd jobs landed him in bed with a back injury. that was when, he told casting frontier in a 2019 interview, it was time to think outside the box: "you know what? if i keep doing this, i'll be doing this for the rest of my life," he said. "i thought, 'well, i don't have any money; i don't have any connections. what do i have? … well, i know i can sing, and i know i can act, 'cause i acted in college. "'well, let me try that.'" he started getting small parts on tv and in the theater, before landing the role of an undercover officer masquerading as a prison inmate in "oz." he would later star in the series "the wire," "fringe" and "lost." he played continental hotel concierge charon in the "john wick" films, and earned a sag award nomination as part of the cast of "one night in miami." his other appearances include "the west wing," "csi: miami," "law & order: special victims unit," "intelligence," "corporate," "american horror story," "bosch," "oldboy," "i dreamed of africa," "the siege," "great expectations," and "angel has fallen." he also was a voice actor on such shows as "the vindicators," "duck tales," "castlevania" and "rick and morty," and played characters in video games, including the "destiny" series. still to be released are "white men can't jump," "shirley," "ballerina" (a spinoff from "john wick"), and "the caine mutiny court martial." he released a jazz album, "contemplations and remembrances," in 2011. "growing up as a musician i was always awed by it, but i was scared of it," he said in a 2010 interview with the philadelphia sunday sun. "i always thought jazz musicians were in a special category. there were rock musicians, there were classical musicians, but the jazz musicians were the real cats. … "as an actor, unless you reach a particular level of stardom, you always feel like just a glorified employee. i really wanted to create something that i felt that i controlled. started doing the songwriting demo, never intending for it to become an album. i just kept writing and starting writing excessively and listening to different kinds of music. i wrote more and more songs and thought, 'what the heck, i'll just do it.'" in 1972 pat schroeder (july 30, 1940 march 13, 2023) became the first woman elected to congress from colorado. during her tenure she fought for women's and family rights, and for expanding the voices of women in government. a graduate of harvard law, schroeder worked for the national labor relations board and planned parenthood, and was a teacher in denver. in 1998 she published "24 years of housework ... and the place is still a mess,″ which chronicled the frustration she experienced with the men who dominated washington, and of her quixotic entry into politics. she wrote that she was asked to partake of a "kamikaze run" in 1972, a year when democratic presidential candidate george mcgovern was deemed to have no coattails in her district. her husband, a lawyer who himself had lost a state race, told her, "you probably can't even win the primary. but if you don't get in the race and articulate the issues, they will not be discussed. you think the government's policies about vietnam and the environment are wrongheaded, and you're always urging your students to get involved. it's an opportunity that may not come again." but schroeder was surprise winner of the primary, and went on to win the general. she would easily win reelection 11 times. one of her biggest legislative victories was a family leave bill in 1993, which provided job protection to those caring for a newborn, sick child, or parent. she was also instrumental in laws that protected women from being fired because they had become pregnant, and that expanded roles for women in the military. schroeder became the first woman named to the house armed services committee, but she was forced to share a chair with rep. ron dellums, the first african american; schroeder said the committee chairman, louisiana democrat f. edward hebert, thought the committee was no place for a woman or an african american, and so they were each worth half a seat. she would use her wit to attack misogyny. when one congressman asked how she could be a house member and the mother of two small children at the same time, she replied, "i have a brain and a uterus, and i use both"; and she once chided pentagon officials that if they were women, they would always be pregnant, because they never said "no.″ she also applied the phrase "teflon president" to ronald reagan. and to illustrate her charge that lawmakers spent too much time courting special interests and campaign donations, she and several aides climbed the capitol dome and hung a 15 foot red banner reading, "sold," as backdrop for a gathering of republicans on the capitol's steps celebrating their first 100 days in power in 1994. she blasted speaker newt gingrich for suggesting women serving in combat would be prone to infections, and filed an ethics complaint over gingrich's televised college lecture series; he became the first speaker reprimanded by congress. "i was never a shrinking violet, but i don't think i would ever have exposed myself to the travails of political life if i hadn't been given last rites at age thirty, almost bleeding to death after giving birth to my daughter," she wrote. "that little ceremony gets your attention!" after congress, schroeder became a professor at princeton university. she also headed the association of american publishers. chaim topol (september 9, 1935 march 8, 2023) was one of israel's leading actors, who became synonymous with a single character: tevye, the milkman, in the musical "fiddler on the roof." he played the part more than 3,500 times on stages around the world, beginning when he was 30 (aided by heavy makeup), and most recently in 2009, when he was in his mid 70s. (he received a tony award nomination for appearing in a 1990 broadway revival.) he also starred in the 1971 movie version, for which he earned a golden globe award and a best actor oscar nomination. while in the israeli army in the 1950s, topol joined a military theatrical troupe, and when his enlistment ended he helped found another theater company. it was while with another troupe that performed works by shakespeare, ionesco and brecht that he became what he called "a serious actor." he made a splash internationally as the lead in the 1964 satirical film "sallah shabati," which told of the hardships facing jewish immigrants. it was the first israeli production to receive an academy award nomination for best foreign language film, and it earned topol a golden globe for most promising newcomer. he later appeared in "cast a giant shadow" (with kirk douglas), and "before winter comes" (with david niven and john hurt). he said his experience as a descendant of russian jews helped him in his performance as tevye, a part he was originally not attracted to after seeing zero mostel perform on broadway. "i really didn't like it," topol told the jerusalem post in 2013, "because zero, as much as he was a genius, was sometimes unfaithful to the text. he was a crazy guy. the music was lovely. but i thought, 'it's not for me.'" he would change his mind after watching a hebrew production of "fiddler," starring shmuel rodensky, when he realized "what an idiot i was, what a wonderful part this was, because rodensky was very serious and he didn't play for the comedy   mainly during the second half, which is very serious   and broke my heart." topol would later call tevye "one of the best parts ever written for a male actor singer." after playing tevye in israel, he was hired to star in the london production, though was asked to drop his first name (as being too difficult to pronounce). he later won the lead in norman jewison's film version of "fiddler on the roof," which received eight academy award nominations and won three oscars. other movie credits include "the private eye," "galileo," "flash gordon," and the james bond film "for your eyes only." he appeared in the tv mini series "the winds of war" and "war and remembrance." in his later years he served as chairman of jordan river village, an overnight camp for middle eastern children with chronic or life threatening illnesses that had partnered with paul newman's hole in the wall gang camps. in 2015 he told the associated press that he preferred working with charities to chasing acting roles, and spoke of promoting coexistence at his village in northern israel: "i can tell you that in our village jews and arabs and christians and muslims ... are hugging each other, and it works very well when politicians are not involved," he said. but even without chasing roles, he will be forever recognized as tevye. "how many people are known for one part? how many people in my profession are known worldwide?" he told the ap. "i'm not complaining." traute lafrenz (may 3, 1919 march 6, 2023) was the last known survivor of the white rose, a group of students who resisted the nazi regime in germany during world war ii. born in hamburg, lafrenz moved to munich to study medicine. there, she met hans scholl, one of a group of students who distributed leaflets opposing hitler and nazism. hans and his sister, sophie scholl, were among those arrested and executed. lafrenz was later arrested by the gestapo in 1943, but hid her involvement with the white rose, and received a one year prison sentence. she was detained again at a prison in bayreuth, and was awaiting trial when she was freed by american troops in april 1945, during the final days of the war. she emigrated to the united states, completed her medical training in san francisco, and married a doctor. she headed a school in chicago, and retired in south carolina. on her 100th birthday lafrenz was awarded germany's order of merit, citing her as one of the few who, "in the face of the crimes of national socialism, had the courage to listen to the voice of her conscience and rebel against the dictatorship and the genocide of the jews. she is a heroine of freedom and humanity." the "mother of the disability rights movement," judy heumann (december 18, 1947 march 4, 2023) lost her ability to walk at age 2 after contracting polio. she faced innumerable obstacles beginning in childhood, as when her parents tried to register her for kindergarten. the school denied her, claiming her wheelchair would create a fire hazard. she grew up to become an activist who, through protests and legal actions, helped secure legislation protecting the rights of the disabled, including the federal americans with disabilities act, individuals with disabilities education act, and the rehabilitation act. she was featured in the oscar nominated 2020 documentary, "crip camp," which highlighted camp jened, a summer camp in new york's catskills for people with disabilities, where heumann was a counselor. the camp helped spark america's disability rights movement. during the 1970s she won a lawsuit against new york's board of education, allowing her to work while using a wheelchair   becoming the first teacher in the state to do so. heumann also founded a group called disabled in action, which conducted street demonstrations. in 1977, when the carter administration was delaying the implementation of regulations that would protect the disabled, heumann lead a sit in with scores of disabled people (including some from camp jened) at a federal office building in san francisco   an occupying force that a cbs news reporter at the time described as "protesters in wheelchairs, the lame, the palsied and the blind." the sit in would go on for weeks. finally, heumann and a small delegation traveled to washington, d.c., to gain attention, hauled around town in the back of a truck. "it was very important for all of us that we wanted people to see us," heumann told "sunday morning" in 2021. on the 23rd day of the san francisco sit in, the regulations were very quietly signed in washington. heumann told one gathering, "the congress, the press, the american public have seen that we have stamina, strength and intelligence." their actions would help bring about passage of the 1990 americans with disabilities act. heumann served as assistant secretary of the u.s. office of special education and rehabilitation services, from 1993 until 2001. she was also involved in passage of the united nations convention on the rights of persons with disabilities, ratified in 2008. jazz saxophonist and composer wayne shorter (august 25, 1933 march 2, 2023) was a member of two of the most celebrated jazz groups of all time: art blakey's jazz messengers, and the miles davis quintet. he also co founded the fusion band weather report, and composed such jazz standards as "speak no evil," "black nile," "footprints," and "nefertiti." growing up in newark, new jersey in the 1930s, he loved to draw comics, and would skip school to watch science fiction films at a local theater. when he was caught, the vice principal forced him into a music class. "so, as i was walking away from her classroom, what was happening to me was what some people call life change," shorter told "cbs this morning" in 2018. in a career spanning nearly seven decades, shorter would record more than 25 albums, winning 12 grammys, mostly recently in february 2023 for best improvised jazz solo ("endangered species" with leo genovese). he received a lifetime grammy award in 2015. he performed and recorded with such artists as maynard ferguson, freddie hubbard, herbie hancock, joni mitchell, carlos santana, steely dan, norah jones, and the rolling stones. his music has been performed by symphony orchestras in chicago, detroit, lyon, prague and amsterdam. he also collaborated with esperanza spalding on an operatic work titled "(iphigenia)." shorter was a kennedy center honoree in 2018. that year, he was asked by "cbs this morning" why he loved jazz so much. he exclaimed, "jazz is a fighter. the word jazz means to me, 'i dare you. let's jump into the unknown!'" a pitcher for the south bend blue sox, one of the teams that made up the all american girls professional baseball league during and after world war ii, jean faut (january 17, 1925 february 28, 2023) was the league's all time era leader (1.23) after eight seasons, and was second in career wins (140). she also threw two no hitters, as well as two perfect games   a feat no major league baseball pitcher ever matched. a pennsylvania high school athlete with a strong arm, faut pitched batting practice for the east greenville cubs, a semipro baseball team. a scout contacted her, and at age 21 faut was recruited for the all women's baseball league. she married just before her second season started, and so she would juggle pitching and child rearing as one of the league's stars. after five years, her place on the team was jeopardized when her husband, once a philadelphia phillies prospect, applied for and got the position of manager of the blue sox, without faut knowing. it led to isolation from her teammates and friction with her husband. she retired in 1953, after leading the league in wins, strikeouts and era, and being named the league's player of the year for the second time. faut later had a second child, divorced her husband, and remarried. she also competed in tournaments of the professional women's bowling association. among the jobs she held after her playing days was running the mosquito biology training program at the university of notre dame. comedian richard belzer (august 4, 1944 february 19, 2023) was long a mainstay of comedy clubs and cable specials, rising to become one of the top stand ups of the '70s and '80s. cynical, caustic and irreverent, he would engage with the audience, sometimes combatively. but beyond stand up, he developed a separate persona as john munch, a wise cracking homicide detective prone to conspiracy theories, whom he portrayed in nearly a dozen different tv series, beginning in a 1993 episode of "homicide: life on the street." over the next 23 years munch would reappear in "the wire," "law & order," "law & order: special victims unit," "law and order: trial by jury," "the x files," "the beat," "arrested development," "30 rock" and "sesame street." belzer was brought in to read for the part of munch after the executive producer of "homicide," barry levinson, heard the comedian on "the howard stern show." "the most difficult thing for me was to imagine myself as a detective," belzer told the washington post in 1994. "i had to figure out, how would i be a detective? how could that have happened in my life? i pretended my father was a detective who was killed in the line of duty and i wasn't going to be a cop until he died. ... i invented a past for myself." born into an abusive household in bridgeport, connecticut (he was beaten by his mother; both parents died, his father by suicide, when belzer was in his early 20s), he was expelled from college. after a series of jobs (including jewelry salesman, reporter, teacher and census taker), he landed a part in channel one's "groove tube," a satire of television that co starred chevy chase. the sketches, shot on video and presented off broadway, were later re filmed and released as a movie. belzer then landed at new york city's catch a rising star, becoming a regular and emcee. he served as the warm up comic for "saturday night live" when the series debuted, and went on to appear in and headline numerous tv specials. in 1984 he hosted the cinemax talk show "the richard belzer show." in addition to small roles in "fame," "night shift," "author! author!," "scarface," "miami vice," "fletch lives," "the bonfire of the vanities," "girl 6," and "species ii," among others, he'd also turn up as himself, in the andy kaufman biopic "man on the moon," and "the comedian." belzer wrote a quasi self help book, "how to be a stand up comic," and a novel, "i am not a cop!" he also co authored several books on conspiracy theories, from the kennedy assassination to ufos. he settled a lawsuit with hulk hogan after the wrestler made an appearance in 1985 on belzer's cable talk show "hot properties." to demonstrate a professional wrestling move, hogan put the comedian in a headlock. belzer fell unconscious, his head opening up on the studio floor. "a lot of people thought it was a stunt, but believe me, it wasn't," belzer told the post, explaining that with the settlement money he put a down payment on a house in france, which he cheekily dubbed the hulk hogan arms. actress stella stevens (october 1, 1938 february 18, 2023) was a charmer whose lasting appeal was due to her deft balancing of her beauty and her light comic touch, perhaps no better employed than as the foil of the starry eyed jerry lewis in the film "the nutty professor." she was featured in numerous comedies in the 1960s and '70s (winning a golden globe as new star of the year in 1960), but probably found her biggest audience as the bickering wife of ernest borgnine in the 1972 disaster film, "the poseidon adventure," in which she performed many of her own stunts. born estelle caro eggleston in yazoo city, mississippi, she married young and gave birth to son andrew stevens (who became an actor and producer) when she was 17. two years later, she was divorced and began modeling and acting at memphis state university, where she was spotted by a press agent at a performance of "bus stop." she would go on to win roles in the musicals "say one for me" and "li'l abner," and posed as a playboy playmate of the month. after some tv appearances ("hawaiian eye," "alfred hitchcock presents," "bonanza"), she starred in "the courtship of eddie's father" and the elvis presley picture "girls! girls! girls!" then came "the nutty professor," playing student stella purdy, whom lewis pines for, and tries to win over via the magic of chemistry, which transforms the nebbish into a suave man about town. other pictures included "the secret of my success," "the silencers," "where angels go, trouble follows," "how to save a marriage and ruin your life," sam peckinpah's comic western "the ballad of cable hogue," and "nickelodeon." she was also featured in dramas, including john cassavetes' "too late blues," "rage," "the mad room," and "a town called hell." she contributed to the blaxploitation genre, filming a love scene with jim brown in "slaughter," and fighting tamara dobson in "cleopatra jones and the casino of gold." during the '70s and '80s she appeared frequently on tv, including the pilot for "wonder woman" opposite lynda carter, "police story," "hart to hart," "flamingo road," "matt houston," "the love boat," "fantasy island," "night court," "murder, she wrote," "magnum, p.i.," and "santa barbara." in 1979 stevens directed a documentary, "the american heroine," which failed to win distribution. ten years later, she directed her son in the romantic comedy "the ranch." though she idolized marilyn monroe, she told delta magazine in 2010 that she didn't want to imitate monroe   she wanted to be herself. "i want to be remembered for whatever made people laugh the most," she said. "i did like to make people laugh." when she was seven years old, raquel welch (september 5, 1940 february 15, 2023) had her first taste of acting on stage, playing a boy   an ironic introduction for an actress who would become internationally renowned as a leading sex symbol, applying her stunning beauty, a challenging self confidence and a comic touch to performances on stage and screen. born of an anglo mother and bolivian father, jo raquel tejada was a beauty pageant winner, actress, dancer and san diego tv news "weathergirl." she was also a divorced mother of two young children when she met her second of four husbands, actor turned press agent patrick curtis, who helped shape her career. she had a flurry of guest roles in tv comedies (including "bewitched" and "mchale's navy"), a bit part in the elvis presley film "roustabout," and a starring role opposite marcello mastroianni in the italian "shoot loud, louder... i don't understand," before starring in the sci fi adventure "fantastic voyage," playing a scientist shrunken and injected into a man's bloodstream. an even larger role came in the british dinosaur and caveman flick "one million years b.c.," its poster and advertising images beckoning moviegoers with a provocative welch clad in a deerskin bikini. she had virtually no lines, but didn't need them to stun a global audience. as the new york times opined, the film featured "a marvelous breathing monument to womankind named raquel welch." she became a phenomenon, gracing magazine covers and starring in a string of movies, from westerns ("bandolero!," "100 rifles," "hannie caulder"), thrillers ( "fathom"), mysteries ("lady in cement," "the last of sheila"), and the limited genre of roller derby films ("kansas city bomber"). she had a pronounced gift for comedy ("bedazzled," "the magic christian," "myra breckinridge," "fuzz," "crossed swords," "mother, jugs & speed," "the wild party"), winning a golden globe for "the three musketeers." she showcased her musical talents on tv alongside such glam stars as tom jones, cher and miss piggy. she won positive reviews when she replaced lauren bacall on broadway in the musical "woman of the year," and returned to the great white way for "victor/victoria" (this time playing a girl playing a boy playing a girl). on tv, she starred as the latina aunt dora on pbs' "american family," reclaiming part of her heritage (her father had banned speaking spanish at home when she was growing up). she also got into a catfight with julia louis dreyfus on "seinfeld." welch also authored a bestselling book, starred in exercise videos, and helped raise millions for the american cancer society to buy wigs for cancer patients. the recipient of six grammy awards and three oscars, songwriter, composer and pianist burt bacharach (may 12, 1928 february 8, 2023) helped create the soundtrack of several decades' worth of pop hits, his musicianship drawing comparisons to cole porter. but he hadn't even wanted to go into the music business. "i thought i'd probably wind up in the men's clothing business," he told "sunday morning" in 2002, "because i thought it was the easiest, most accessible job that my dad might be able to introduce me to." but then, after listening to the songs of the day, he decided that it would be easy to write them. "i mean, they were really ordinary, familiar. i thought this could be a snap. i was wrong! i did really, really bad!" having grown up influenced by both jazz and classical, bacharach's talent would be proven in creating melodies, though as a young man studying composition, he realized his peers favored an edgier, more dissonant sound. he told "60 minutes" in 1999, "i had this one, the middle movement of this sonata, and i was almost ashamed to play it in class because it was so melodic, it really had a melody. and i kind of shuffled it through and played it, and he said … 'burt, don't ever, ever feel ashamed of writing something that's melodic, and that people can remember.'" he was the orchestra leader for marlene dietrich's cabaret shows, and wrote music for broadway ("promises, promises"), and the movies ("alfie," "what's new, pussycat," "casino royale," "butch cassidy and the sundance kid," "arthur"). bacharach's songs, often written with longtime collaborator hal david, were poignant, sometimes melancholic ballads about love and loss, and were consistent chart toppers. his music was recorded by such artists as nat king cole, perry como, the drifters, cilla black, tom jones, dusty springfield, doris day, aretha franklin, luther vandross, carole bayer sager, andy williams, roberta flack, the 5th dimension, neil diamond, rod stewart, patti labelle, and christopher cross. but the singer most closely tied to his work was dionne warwick. their string of immortal hits included "i'll never fall in love again," "don't make me over," "wishin' and hopin'," "anyone who had a heart," "walk on by," "a house is not a home," "you'll never get to heaven (if you break my heart)," "i say a little prayer," and "do you know the way to san jose." by the mid seventies bacharach's music faded somewhat, as pop became harder, and his smooth melodies and lush, often quirky arrangements seemed stuck in the sixties. but then, who better to capture the era of swinging london in the "austin powers" films? bacharach appeared as himself in comedian mike myers' first james bond spoof, performing "what the world needs now is love," and returned for the sequels. back in the public eye, he was soon back on the pop charts, thanks to an unlikely partner, british punk rocker elvis costello. after the two teamed on a song for the film "grace of my heart," they collaborated on the album "painted from memory," which featured "i still have that other girl," earning the pair a grammy for best pop collaboration with vocals. a lesson in bacharach's innovation   and his singular knack for melody   could be heard in his story, told to "60 minutes," about the trouble he had with musicians performing one song, sung by warwick: "i remember having a huge fight with the band at the apollo, 'cause she was singing 'anyone who had a heart,' and that changes time signature every bar. they didn't know why i'd done it. and i'm saying, 'listen, here's the thing: the record's a top 10, so people are reacting to it. it's top 10 in the country; people are getting it, and they're not trying to count it. why don't you guys just try to, instead of reading what's on the paper, just feel it in your heart?'" hall of famer and two time mvp bobby hull (january 3, 1939 january 30, 2023) helped the chicago blackhawks win the stanley cup in 1961. one of the most prolific forwards in nhl history, he scored 610 times during his 16 year career with chicago, hartford and winnipeg. nicknamed "the golden jet" for his speed and blond hair, he also collected 303 goals while playing for the jets in the world hockey association for seven seasons, having been lured away from the nhl with hockey's first $1 million contract. hull was inducted into the hockey hall of fame in 1983, and his no. 9 sweater was retired by the blackhawks that same year. in 1965 hull talked with sports illustrated about his intuitions on how a game might turn out: "there are nights when i can tell long before a game how it is going to go. when you first go out onto the ice in the warmup you can tell. if your legs feel light you kind of smile to yourself and you take great joy in skating around and getting warm. when i go back down into the dressing room 15 minutes before the game i often say to dennis [hull, his brother and teammate], 'i feel he's got it tonight; i feel he's got it tonight.' dennis laughs and sometimes he kids me by sending the word down the line: 'the rolls royce is going to roll tonight.'" lisa loring (february 16, 1958 january 28, 2023) was a child actor ("dr. kildare") and model when, at the age of five, she was cast as wednesday addams in the 1960s sitcom "the addams family." inspired by charles addams' gruesomely hilarious cartoons of a sinister family living in a gothic mansion, wednesday was the young girl who played with a headless doll and kept a black widow spider as a pet. she also had some funky dance moves. loring told the sydney morning herald in 2017 that, when auditioning, she topped actresses much older than she was for the role (it helped that she resembled carolyn jones, who played her mother, morticia), but didn't have a problem learning her lines: "i learned to memorize before i could read." her life beyond "addams family" was certainly colorful. after her mother died, she married at age 15   it was the first of four marriages (one of her husbands performed in porn films). she continued acting, on the soap opera "as the world turns," in guest appearances on "fantasy island" and "barnaby jones," and in genre films, such as "blood frenzy," "savage harbor" and "doctor spine." and she'd appear at conventions, where she'd autograph pictures of her five year old self. guitarist tom verlaine (december 13, 1949 january 28, 2023) became a fixture of the downtown new york music venue cbgb, where he performed alongside such acts as the ramones, patti smith and talking heads, including as part of the proto punk band, television, which he co founded. television's groundbreaking debut album "marquee moon" (1977) included a nearly 11 minute title track and "elevation." the band broke up the following year, after the release of their second album, "adventure." verlaine was part of the lineup when the band reformed in the mid '90s (when they released their third album), and again in 2001. verlaine also went on to release ten albums of his own, his most successful being 1981's "dreamtime." his influences were less rock 'n' roll and more jazz and avant garde concert composers (like ligeti and penderecki). though he had a low professional profile, his guitar shredding and improvisations produced a unique sound (what smith once described as "like a thousand bluebirds screaming") that influenced such performers as michael stipe and flea. in 2006 verlaine, described by the new york times as a "guitar god," explained to the paper why he hadn't pursued more commercial success: "when i first started touring, having to get up at 7 a.m. to get on buses or go to airports after playing all night, i thought: 'this is terrible. this is not what music is about.' it dawned on me that i had to make a decision: am i going to go along with this whole thing or not? i just said, nah. i decided against the whole 'careering' thing." emmy award winning college basketball broadcaster billy packer (february 25, 1940 january 26, 2023) worked as an analyst and color commentator on every final four for 34 years beginning in 1975, for nbc and cbs. packer, who played three seasons at wake forest, and helped lead the demon deacons to the college tournament in 1962; 13 years later he was in the broadcast booth. he joined cbs in 1981, and was the network's main analyst until the 2008 final four. that year he was inducted into the national collegiate basketball hall of fame. in 2007 he told cbs sports, "i had a chance to play in a final four way back in 1962 in san diego, and about the only people who knew about it were the people from the various schools that were in it, and a few people in san diego. but from a national perspective it was nothing like it became, even when i started broadcasting. of course, now it's become kind of a ritual, the month of march, for america." in 2008 singer songwriter guitarist david crosby (august 14, 1941 january 18, 2023) told "sunday morning" a key to understanding the power and longevity of his music: "the best songs take you a while to digest, and no two people get exactly the same picture from them because they incite a little fire. they ignite a little fire in your imagination." since the 1960s, crosby has fired up lots of imaginations. crosby dropped out of college to pursue his passion for music, and in 1964 he joined the byrds, but his stint with the band came to an unhappy end, when he was thrown out. "i wasn't that easy to handle," he said. "i had a big ego, and i wanted them to play my songs. i was starting to write pretty good songs." he'd performed with buffalo springfield, before teaming with stephen stills and graham nash (and, for a time, neil young), to record some of the most essential music of the era, including the albums "crosby, stills & nash" (1969), "déjà vu" (1970), the live album "4 way street" (1971), and "csn" (1977). when crosby, stills, nash & young started touring in the summer of '69, the second gig they ever played was a little gathering called woodstock. the production of "déjà vu" came at a particularly fraught time for each of the band's members. for crosby, his girlfriend, christine hinton, had been killed in a car crash. "i was in terrible shape," crosby told anthony mason in 2021. "i was damn near destroyed. i'm just really lucky we were making that record, because it gave me a raison d'être … it's what kept me alive." crosby would record 17 studio albums with the byrds, cs&n and others. he also released eight solo studio albums, including 1971's "if i could only remember my name." among the songs for which crosby is credited as writer or co writer are "renaissance fair," "everybody's been burned," "wooden ships," "long time gone," "déjà vu," "guinnevere," "almost cut my hair," "long time gone," and "laughing." in the 1980s addiction led to drug charges and a year and a half in prison, during which he went cold turkey, and came out vowing to remain sober. in later years he received a liver transplant and underwent heart surgery. but he also recorded four albums as part of the trio cpr (in which he performed with session guitarist jeff pevar, and keyboardist james raymond, a child he'd had out of wedlock and given up for adoption in 1962, with whom he'd reunited). in 2000 it was revealed that crosby was the father (via artificial insemination) of two children melissa etheridge shared with her then partner julie cypher. lloyd morrisett (november 2, 1929 january 15, 2023), who had trained to be a teacher with a background in psychology, and who earned his doctorate in experimental psychology at yale university, was looking for new ways to educate children from less advantaged backgrounds. in 1966, at a dinner party with documentary producer joan ganz cooney, morrisett asked her, "joan, do you think television could be used to teach young children?" their conversations about the possibilities led to the founding of the children's television workshop, and their marquee production, "sesame street," morrisett and cooney worked with harvard university developmental psychologist gerald lesser to build the show's unique approach to teaching, featuring a culturally diverse cast, augmented with jim henson's lovable muppets. since its 1969 debut, "sesame street" has won 216 emmys, 11 grammys, and the kennedy center honor for lifetime artistic achievement   the first television program to receive the award. the series is shown in more than 150 countries, reaching 120 million children. the only child of elvis presley, lisa marie presley (february 1, 1968 january 12, 2023) lived with her mother, actress priscilla presley, after her parents split up in 1973, when lisa marie was four. but she remembered her father during frequent visits to graceland, including when he'd make his entrances. "he was always fully, fully geared up," she told the associated press in 2012. "you'd never see him in his pajamas coming down the steps, ever. you'd never see him in anything but 'ready to be seen' attire." lisa marie was just nine when elvis died, but he loomed large over her life, as she embarked on a career as a singer songwriter, even mixing her voice with his in a video of his 1969 ballad, "don't cry daddy." she performed on stage with such artists as pat benatar and richard hawley, and recorded three albums, two of which   "to whom it may concern" and "now what"   hit billboard's top 10. lisa marie's personal life was rocky: four marriages (including to michael jackson and nicolas cage), struggles with drugs, custody battles and financial hardships. one of her sons, benjamin storm presley keough, died by suicide in 2020. the sole heir of the elvis presley trust after her father died, she sold her majority interest in the trust in 2005, but retained ownership of graceland mansion, its contents, and the 13 acres surrounding it. in 2012 she told the ap, "i'm proud to be my father's daughter … i do feel honored about that." robbie bachman (february 18, 1953 january 12, 2023) was drummer for the canadian hard rock band bachman turner overdrive, whose hits in the 1970s included "takin' care of business" and "you ain't seen nothin' yet." robbie and his brothers, randy and tim, were winnipeg natives who'd played music since childhood. after randy abruptly left the guess who following their success with "american woman," the three bachmans teamed up for the group brave belt, joined by bassist/vocalist fred turner. brave belt would eventually morph into bachman turner overdrive (the word "overdrive" pinched from the cover of a trucker magazine). between 1973 and 1979 the group released eight albums, including "not fragile" and "four wheel drive" (which both hit #1 on the billboard chart), "head on," and their eponymous debut album. in addition to "takin' care of business" and "you ain't seen nothin' yet," bto's top 20 hits included "let it ride," "roll on down the highway," "hey you," "quick change artist," and "down to the line." in 1980, a few years after randy left the group, bto broke up. the brothers rarely performed together afterwards. in 2014, when bto was inducted into the canadian music hall of fame, robbie explained the music's appeal, and what differentiated it from other rock at the time, to the toronto star: "we didn't tell anybody they were wrong or anything was bad or don't do this. it was basically, have a good time, fun music. … just coming out of the '70s with the vietnam war and all the political things going on   in canada with trudeau, and richard nixon and stuff like that   we just basically had enough of that stuff." as a member of the yardbirds and later as a solo artist, guitar virtuoso jeff beck (june 24, 1944 january 10, 2023) pushed the boundaries of rock 'n' roll, incorporating jazz, funk, blues and opera into his music, which was improvisational   and inspirational to generations of guitar shredders. he performed with artists as varied as jimi hendrix, brian wilson, stevie wonder, cyndi lauper, wynonna judd, rod stewart and luciano pavarotti. he recorded 17 albums, including "truth," "beck ola," "jeff beck group," "beck, bogert & appice," "blow by blow," "wired," "there & back," "emotion & commotion," and "18." as a guest artist he performed on numerous recordings, including by tina turner ("private dancer"), mick jagger ("she's the boss"), diana ross ("swept away"), zz top ("hey mr. millionaire"), and ozzy osbourne ("patient number 0"). beck won eight grammy awards, and was twice inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame (as a member of the yardbirds, and as a solo act). the son of a new hampshire plumber, novelist russell banks (march 28, 1940 january 7, 2023) often wrote, in such acclaimed works as "affliction," "the sweet hereafter" and "continental drift," about the world of trailer parks and debt plagued people barely hanging on   "people who perceive themselves and are pretty much perceived as outside the mainstream wanting to get in or, having failed that, trying to figure out how to live outside," he told "sunday morning" in 1995. a professor emeritus at princeton university, banks was raised in the northeast, and lived near the burial ground of abolitionist john brown, in north elba, new york. he told the associated press in 1998 of walking past his grave often enough that brown "became a kind of ghostly presence"   the subject of his ambitious 1998 novel, "cloudsplitter," a finalist for the pulitzer prize. beginning with his 1975 "family life," banks penned 14 novels, including "rule of the bone," "the darling," and his last, 2022's "the magic kingdom." he also wrote short story collections and nonfiction. a moralist writing about the marginalized, banks said of his work, "i'm operating out of a belief that all lives are interconnected and that we're all implicated in each other's fates in significant ways and bear terrible responsibilities toward and for each other, most of which we abandon and run from. but i believe it." this gallery was originally published january 20, 2023. david morgan is senior producer for cbsnews.com and the emmy award winning "cbs news sunday morning." he writes about film, music and the arts. he is author of the books "monty python speaks" and "knowing the score," and editor of "sundancing," about the sundance film festival. copyright ©2025 cbs interactive inc. all rights reserved.
