Been seeing this Biden ad where he talks about the death of his first wife and a child in a car accident. Saw it just now for the zillionth time (battleground State!) and something about it just occurred to me: it uses pictures of a young, distraught Biden at the hospital.
Which means that one of the things on Biden’s mind at the time of his wife and child’s death was...making sure they got really good, emotional shots of it. In black and white to increase the sense of stark devastation. Cool, huh?
This is the sort of person Biden is and the sort of people he attracts into his orbit: complete political animal. Everything is subordinated to the quest for office. Wife died? Let’s use it: could get us some votes.
And this is what I reject and what I think a majority will reject on 11/3: the naked quest for power at all costs. They complain about Trump but for all his enormities, he’s not them. He’s not mere appetite justifying itself. He could be a lot richer, you know?
Seriously: without effort and with merely moving assets into a few different places, he’s be worth ten or twenty billion. But enough is enough, right? Who wants to spend every waking moment just getting more? Well, people like Biden. And Soros. And Bezos.
In all of human history, only a few people have managed to obtain great wealth and power and not become complete sh**. Trump is one of the few. Biden is one of the sh**s.

Went to Mass and on the way back had the radio on and caught a Biden ad. And here's the deal: if Biden wins it will be because people fell for a rather clever rhetorical sleight of hand. What it does is get you to mentally think that "slow the spread" is "save my life."
It is the central thing of Biden's campaign: "be afraid and I will save your life". Which is ridiculous because "slow the spread" merely means "you'll get it, later". You will catch it; you may already have. Everyone will catch it. Those doomed to die of it, will die of it.
There is no way around this: unless a nearly 100% effective vaccine is created, we cannot remove a virus from the population. It is highly unlikely that we'll have any vaccine for this kind of virus that is that effective. So: you will catch it.

Do keep in mind that Biden’s campaign staff is filled with Establishment types who have assured Biden their plan will bring victory: they would not tell him that their plan, which is making them millions in fees, isn’t working: they’ll play it out until the last dollar is spent.
It is a strength and a weakness that the whole Establishment is behind Biden. Endless money. Universal good press. All cheating will be done in Biden’s favor. The weakness: these are the sort of guys who crafted Obamacare and the Iran Deal. You know: morons.
I said the day after election 2016 that the whole Establishment would unite to destroy Trump and that has come to pass. I expected them to win: deep in my heart, I felt that once roused, no one could stand up against them. I expected Trump to whither under the assault.

I have my flaws. I’m a bit overweight. My eyesight is poor. My right leg has been jacked up for decades and it’s constant pain (greater or lesser depending). I can’t carry a note in a bucket. But one attribute is razor sharp: my memory.
I don’t forget things. I can remember words and actions with precision. It isn’t vague. I remember the drive in the car to the beach with Mom and Dad and what we had to eat and what the old guy sitting next to us looked like. That was 1968. I was 3.
A bit of a curse in this is that every last mistake I’ve ever made is etched indelibly in my mind: as if it just happened. It’s a burden getting to forever relive the faux pas I committed in 1970. When I was 5. But, it is what it is. Why bring this up?

The ‘Trump Doctrine’ earns President third Nobel Peace Prize nomination | Sky News Australia skynews.com.au/details/_61952…
Here's the thing: the "endless wars and never make demands" policy of the USA since 1945 has been a disaster: the Trump Doctrine of "no war and step up the plate, a**holes" policy is forcing people to be realistic about the world - and, so: peace.
Why make peace if the USA will never make a demand on you? And if everything goes to sh**, you can count on the USA to send some kid from Omaha in to kill the bad guys but mostly to be a clay pigeon while you play footsie with the bad guys. That sh** is over. Unless Biden wins.

The bottom line is that if the polls are right, then Biden is going to win a smashing victory on 11/3. Nearly landslide proportions. Could this really be happening? Yep: if people are fearful of 'Rona and buy into the "the disorder is all Trump", then Biden is going to win. Big.
And nearly every poll and almost all pundits are asserting just that: people fear the 'Rona and blame Trump for the national heart attack. If the polls and they are right: we're done. Not a chance. But, are they right?

Are, that is, people who lie all the time telling the truth?
The question nearly answers itself, but not quite: there is a chance that the liars found something true which actually works in their favor. It does happen. But, they are liars: if things were 180 from what they're saying, they would still bare face it out.

I’m a pro life fanatic. No death penalty. No abortion. No assisted suicide. I realize that my view is in the distinct minority. I pray for a day when everyone joins me in merely saying: “let everyone live”. But that’s a way down the road.
In the meanwhile, I know plenty of you for honest reasons disagree. I think your reasoning flawed, but I understand how you got to it. And I won’t condemn you for having it.
OTOH, I do not understand the Democrat position on it. I don’t know how fellow Catholics like Biden and Pelosi can go along with it: abortion on demand to the moment of birth is sheer lunacy. Psycho killers aren’t that whacked out. But there they go: supporting it.
