Wacko jihadist out to claim his manhood.

That is exactly what this is. As an Islamic man coming of age, why not get all the virgins you deserve while in prime shape? Why wait to go through life with a real job and family responsibilities and risk messing up and not getting all your virgins in your afterlife?

It has nothing to do with Taylor Swift or her fans. Whoever the Cleric or Imam involved with this disaster of a human being is should be imprisoned as well.

This the same stupid stuff we see in the USA with online recruitment of White Supremacists. Same mess. These young men fall in with extremist culture and they turn into killers. 

This religious exercise should be banded globally as a cultural flaw in interpretation of modern scripture in the Quran. ISIS needs to be banded from existence on planet Earth. 

The violence cultures within extremist entities needs to be addressed through a UN convention to correct the ancient path of what was once survival. The cultural value of violence within the social structure of any country is outrageous in the year 2024.

Yes, religion is a segment of social culture and not the Rule of Law.

The Rule of Law states murder is a crime. Jihadism is not only a crime but a hate crime. NO DAMN holy man or woman has a right to preach death and mass murder!

The Pope tries holding multi-religious inclusive events to demonstrate humanity and the common ground of all people, but, he gets nowhere in a real way. One can preach peace and acceptance of others, but, unless there is a formal dialogue that ostracizes violence with ANY cultural construct this will be a part of modern human existence and it can cause a destabilizing effect on civilization.

Freedom of speech is not absolute and espousing hate, violence, and/or murder is NOT a right of any society. It certainly has no place in any religious practice or dialogue.

Everything is fine.

Really? Really Wall Steet?

Did anyone on Wall Street bother to read the entire Labor Department report? There was absolutely nothing wrong other than a few employers decided to downsize their workforce with interest rates being what they are. But, there are absolutely no other major indicators that trouble is on the way.

They over reacted.  There is no there there. 

Do join the Democrats this time.

I’ve heard enough.

Trump the snake oil salesman is at the podium. 

There is nor was there a person with the capacity of “border czar.”

(Click here)

What is Trump doing on C-Span? I tuned in expecting to hear factual information that C-Span is known for, what happened?

In having the USA southern border as an issue demanded an approach that addresses the core problems of immigration in the first place. That strategy is the only one that works. Mexico is our neighbor. There is no way a border war with guns, tanks, and soldiers is even conceivable. 

THIS IS THE USA. We don’t treat neighbors as enemies. We treat them like family and solve problems together.

One of THE PRIMARY problems with the issue of immigration at our southern border are the drug cartels. How many decades has our media, like the New York Times, presented facts about the bloody violence of the drug cartels, including induction of child soldiers. These children were stolen from their families.

I dare anyone to go to media archives and search the words drug cartels and not find an article about it. Over and over for decades there have been nightmare scenarios coming out of countries south of our border. Raids by cartels, killing husbands, raping wives and mothers, and stealing children.

This level of violence in any country, including at one time even Columbia, can’t be ignored for the instability it causes, but, also for the surreal issue of “failed states” so close to our own. The ONLY way to end such atrocities was to empower the governments to end corruption, build economies, have employment for their people, schools for their children, and law enforcement to push back against the power of the drug trade.

Today, three foundation members of the Sinaloa Drug Cartel are in USA federal prisons. That is a major accomplishment to end the terror of the cartels.

Our law enforcement has been wildly successful at our border crossings to end shipments of drugs into the USA. Our law enforcement have saved lives in ending shipments and arresting criminals affiliated with these cartels within our own borders.

When Kamala Harris wanted to end the nightmares at our border and south of it, there was only one way PROVEN to work and that was to RETURN to dialogue with other government leaders.

These are difficult and important issues and have to be handled correctly. Putting guns at the border with orders to kill is an outrage. These are unarmed, impoverished families trying to find hope to live productive and peaceful lives. They do not endanger the Border Patrol, the drug runners do. The illegal Texas floatation devices do nothing except act to collect mud, creating islands in the middle of the Rio Grande. They will ultimately make it easier to cross that river as islands develop and trees start to grow stabilizing the line of islands further. 

President Biden has tried several different strategies to slow the flow of immigrants and earlier this year one finally impacted the flow of people coming to our southern border.

There was never a Czar of any kind in the Biden administration.

Solving problems and not killing problems is the only reasonable solution for the USA. We have allies at the southern USA that help with these border crossers. The churches always have missions to help those that make it across.

I really don’t care to hear how the Biden administration did nothing right to secure our southern border when Republicans never committed to pass immigration legislation written to uphold law enforcement, end the terror of the drug cartels, and begin AGAIN to help impoverished countries to our south return economies, employ their citizens, and have tax income to make sovereign countries stronger.

It wasn’t the Biden administration or the Democrats in the legislature that were the DO NOTHING elected officials. Republicans hold the DO NOTHING title all to themselves as they walked away from a responsible legislative effort with immigration. If the country wants to address these problems it is time to put a strong Democratic majority in the U.S. House and Senate as well as the Executive Branch. We can do it.

Ex-Trump Advisor Kellyanne Conway, (click here) Known For Her 'Alternative Facts,' Turns Lobbyist For Ukrainian Billionaire Victor Pinchuk...

From Forbes. Wall Street never criticizes people with money. They are only great achievers.

Viktor Pinchuk (click here) used his Ph.D. in pipe design to found Interpipe, producer of steel products, in 1990.

He still operates Interpipe, which makes pipes and railway wheels, and also Starlight Media, which owns 6 TV stations.

Pinchuk owns Grand Buildings, a landmark historical building on Trafalgar Square in London.

He is a son-in-law of Ukraine's former president Leonid Kuchma.

PinchukArtCenter, which he chairs, is known for its biannual global contemporary art prize, Future Generation Art Prize, which awards $100K to a young artist....

Yes, he is a Ukraine Oligarch that has acted in what is believed to be a benefit to Ukraine. Yes, he threw a nice party for President Zelensky. 

January 20, 2023

Analysis by Ishaan Tharoor

...On Thursday morning, (click here) the hot ticket in the Swiss mountain town was an early morning breakfast session hosted by the foundation of Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky beamed in virtually for a conversation moderated by CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, who was joined in the room by a slate of prominent Western cabinet ministers and politicians, as well as CEOs and fund managers....

But, his father-in-law was a Pro-Russian politician that made it into the presidency of Ukraine.  Leonid Kuchma, even as a Ukrainian president was a racketeer and leader of some of the worst corruption Ukraine has known.

May 20, 2020
By Katya Gorchinskaya

...When I approached him for a profile I was writing, Pinchuk was polite, (click here) completely unwilling to talk, and had the audacity to ask me to ditch the story. The story ran the following week. Years later, he introduced me to a foreign dignitary as the first journalist to call him “an oligarch.”

The word was only beginning to gain currency at the time. Kuchma was approaching the end of his first term as president, and the whole phenomenon of oligarchy in the post-Soviet sense, or rule by a small economic and political elite, was in its infancy and still poorly understood in Ukraine.

But the creation of an oligarchic system appears to have been a conscious policy priority for Kuchma, a concept he trumpeted early and often. From his very first address to parliament as president in 1994, he insisted that Ukraine needed “financial industrial groups” to drive the transformation of Ukraine’s state-monopolized economy.

What he didn’t mention is that hand-picked people would have the opportunity to make fortunes on the privatization of Soviet enterprises, from the trade in gas and natural resources, and through other shadowy means....

I have to wonder why at the eleventh hour after the USA Democratic Party has proposed a new presidential candidate, Kellyanne Conway shows up to register as a lobbyist with ties to a Pro-Russian and corrupt president of Ukraine?

It is nice Viktor threw a nice party at Davos that enabled President Zelensky to speak to the crowd when he was looking for support for the war the Ukrainian people were facing. But, that is exactly the kind of investment someone with ties to Russia would do to bring about good affiliations regardless of the true agenda. 

I am concerned.

I think it prudent to be weary of Ms. Conway and her new found wealth given her petulant tendency to fabricate a new truth in the face of real facts.

Foreign Agent FAQ (click here)

While Leonid Kuchma is deceased his reputation still stands as pivotal in turning Ukraine toward Russia. He practiced censorship, arrested journalists, he always denied any involvement in the killing in 2000 of journalist Georgiy Gongadze. During the Kushma administration the Ukraine Air Force shot down a Siberian Airllines jet carrying 78 Israelis visiting family in Russia but returning to Israel. Everyone on board died.

In the picture to the left Kuchma is in the center and to the right is a much younger Vladimir Putin.

Kuchma became a communist party chief at the age of 38 and a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine and was a delegate of the 27th and 28th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

He was president of Ukraine for two terms, saw economic downturns. He talked as most politicians of the time of being great friends with the EU and wanted to meet their demands in order to secure trade agreements, but, he was far too corrupt and instead signed treaties with Russia.

Kushma's Prime Minister was Viktor Yanukovych. Yanukovych would become the President of Ukraine after Viktor Yushchenko who was poisoned and nearly died. As a special presidential advisor Kushma was also involved in some capacity with the Donbas region of Ukraine.

I find Trump's affection and loyalty to autocrats, especially Putin, a concern and now with Conway working with a person affiliated with a Late Pro-Russian president of Ukraine, it is all too cozy and she probably should be registered as a foreign agent as well.

Vice President Harris cannot be held responsible for President Biden's decisions.

I have no doubt there will be attempts to assign Kamala Harris with Biden's policies and decisions. The relationship between the President and Vice President was made clear right at the beginning of President Biden's term in office. He stated clearly the Vice President would be involved in all high level meetings to have the information he had when he made decisions. She was not simply a figure head in this administration, however, she was not the decision maker. So, in regard to Afghanistan's exit, President Biden would have shouldered the final decision, while the Vice President felt free to verbalize her concerns and insight. 

Personally, I don't believe there was any easy way out of Afghanistan. The fact an occupation of Afghanistan resulted in nothing substantial to bring about a civilized society and government speaks for itself.

The war was started to end the occupation of al Qaeda in Afghanistan (which was achieved) after Osama bin Laden successfully carried out the attacks on the USA on September 11, 2001. The USA for twenty years, an entire generation, attempted to provide stability to the country in hopes no terrorist organizations would repopulate it. The Taliban was and is not considered a terrorist organization. It never took credit for substantial attacks within Afghanistan that killed many people. We know today there are other organizations that use violence to intimidate the government and civilian populations in Afghanistan, including ISIS and the Haqqani network.

The costs of the war in Afghanistan were significant. $2.313 trillion US was spent in that war and it achieved nothing but a lot of heartache, including "Green on blue attacks." The USA and any allies during that period of time never achieved the goals many hoped.

The American people agreed with the President we had to leave Afghanistan, but, felt the way in which we left was not done well.

(Click here for chart on right)

It was time to go and there was no easy way to do it. The USA military actually spent at least the previous two weeks destroying munitions and armaments so there would be no advantage to the USA leaving. That was not unusual in Afghanistan. It was often littered with war debris, be it USA or Russian. 

March 2013

...The large sums borrowed (click here) to finance operations in Iraq and Afghanistan will also impose substantial long-term debt servicing costs. As a consequence of these wartime spending choices, the United States will face constraints in funding investments in personnel and diplomacy, research and development and new military initiatives. The legacy of decisions taken during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars will dominate future federal budgets for decades to come....

The human costs were staggering.

...the war led to the deaths of 2,324 U.S. military personnel, (click here) 3,917 U.S. contractors and 1,144 allied troops. For Afghans, the statistics are nearly unimaginable: 70,000 Afghan military and police deaths, 46,319 Afghan civilians (although that is likely a significant underestimation) and some 53,000 opposition fighters killed. Almost 67,000 other people were killed in Pakistan in relation to the Afghan war....

It would have been best if the USA achieved stability in the country along with greater human rights. It wasn't going to happen. The Taliban was allowed to reconstitute in Pakistan and the poppy culture was never allowed to end. The poppy crops were allowed to grow as Afghans stated that was a primary income for the country. Allowing opium to grow in Afghanistan was all part of the corruption occurring in the country during the time of occupation. But, since the Taliban took over there has been a large reduction in the poppy crops. The opium is banned under Taliban rule. People outside of Afghanistan still argue that was a bad idea and the poppy crop was important. The poppy crop in Afghanistan dropped 95 percent since the USA pulled out.

There were 13 great Americans lost in Afghanistan on the last day of occupation. It was tragic, but, it also saved lives if the occupation was to continue. Could it have been done better? I sincerely don't believe it could. The USA was leaving. There were no more troops in the country, except at the airport. 

Without peace accords and a civilization that is organized and predictable, leaving an occupation is never neat and orderly.

People don’t trust AI.

I hope it is a growing trend.

Thank you, Kamala!

Looks like we are going back to Iraq.

(Click here)

I doubt Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Jordan can keep the peace alone. Iraq is somewhat our ally anyway. I think the USA will have to have a large enough presence so our soldiers are not targets. 

A return to Iraq, more than just a contingency, is about settling the tensions between Israel and Iran. Iran cannot continue its madman strategy of backing terrorists with religious hatred as a priority. It would be to end any conflict between Iran and Israel before it gets started. 

The USA presence would have a different tone than last time. I think the urban warfare in Iraq is over. This would be about stability and working with allies in the region to prevent Iranian stupidity from engaging NATO. 

My most sincerest wishes are for those wounded to recover quickly and return to their families. They are very brave people to be engaged remotely for the purpose of peace.

Another attorney ruined by Trump

Why? These are bright people entrusted through licensure to uphold the law. What goes on? The number of people that are falling into trouble is astounding. Why? I want to understand how so many people simply fall in line. It not just women. There are plenty of men that have succumbed to Trump’s influence. 

How ridiculous is Wall Street?

This is the news that has stocks falling. Wall Street chronically creates its own emergencies and then comes running to the USA Treasury for bailouts.

Ready?

The USA unemployment rate rose to a whopping 4.3 percent. The idea the job market has contracted a bit should be no surprise to anyone.

(Click here)

The inflation is down.

I tell you what Wall Street’s real problem is, China. China’s economy is struggling and Wall Street is over extended in China. Uncertainty is high because Wall Street bosses like Goldman Sachs are scared of both Trump and Kamala for different reasons. They are afraid of Trump because he is “tariff happy.”

Kamala needs to address how she sees the economic future of the USA to settle Wall Street’s nervousness. 

Wall Street is its own problem. The Asian stocks are volatile most of the time, but, a change in what has been a job boom made them hide under the covers.

The tensions in the Middle East has Wall Street scared because Iran is being stupid in escalating a war between Hamas and Israel. Wall Steet hates uncertainty.

There is no there, there.

USA Consumer confidence is better because inflation is cooling.

The UK is having a tussle with extreme right political fabrication and there were demonstrations mostly by white guys with about 100 being arrested.

KAMALA please talk to them before they start jumping out of buildings. It looks like The Fed won’t be raising interest rates. There is one thing they are terrified about and that is the housing inventory they hold. Housing is cooling, too. Wall Street has been buying up properties for cash purchases and they might get stuck with inventories losing value.

If Wall Street ever had a moral compass they would not participate in bubble and bust. They would practice affirmation of the American Dream and enforce reasonable home values to allow a booming Middle Class their promises for working hard. Instead of supporting the Middle Class they exploit the lower Middle Class and run them out of trailer parks.

Honestly. Wall Street is immoral and they call it uncertainty. 

Oh, the weather, hurricanes primarily affected Texas with some increase in unemployment because of storm damage, etc. Flooding is the biggest problem. But, according to the Labor Department that had negligible effect on the overall increase of unemployment. The Fed has raising interest rates and the inflation slow down has finally hit and employers pulled back in creating jobs, AS THEY SHOULD! This is not an issue of uncertainty if Wall Street bosses were paying attention.

Thank you for this to the Boston Globe

Shia Crescent is a diaspora, not a military strategy.

(Click here for a fairly good assessment of Iranian ideology.)

Many religions and ethnicities have diasporas. The Russian diaspora is tapped by the motherland to carry out Putin’s KGB tasks to kill basically innocent and peaceful people that have left Russia. The best example of that are the poisonings in Europe. But, the USA intelligence agencies keeps track of folks like this and why they have to be registered as a foreign agent.

In like fashion Iran has militarized its diaspora into terrorist elements in the world, especially in the Shia Crescent. Iran sees its diaspora as an extension of its military and not simply people practicing “the faith.” 

There is absolutely no reason for Iran to militarize a diaspora because no one is openly hostile to Shi’ites, Iranian or Iraqi. The militarization of the Shi’ite diaspora was a completely paranoid idea by a few Ayatollahs in Iran that instilled a religious hegemony as a priority.

When an Ayatollah had Allah on his (not her) side after a successful overthrow of a Shah, well anything that comes into a holy man’s head must be inspired. Right? 

“W”rong!

What the great Ayatollahs of Iran never valued over and above their own religious fervor was BEING CIVILIZED to become part of a global community. The same is true of North Korea and all the other wackos in the world. The autocrats are convinced they know more about CONTROLLING their outcomes than any other Bozo. Let’s face it when a man (not woman) is in control of a military it can get pretty heady and they don't trust anyone besides himself anyway. I am confident to an autocrat assassination can be a real threat.

So, Iran has gone to far. It has militarized its diaspora and created terrorists the majority of countries globally don’t call allies. What has occurred globally is an attempt to allow these terrorist groups the standing of a political party. It wasn’t a bad idea, but, far too hopeful considering a sovereign theocracy was actually in control and demanding hegemony. So, now, the terrorist networks of Iran are hoping to destroy Israel. Really? In all honesty does any country think it can destroy Israel? Why even go there?

The people of Iran are primarily correct in demonstrating to bring about change in the 21st century. Iran is wrong in its religious focus and the theocracy has to stand down to become more peaceful and economically stable. The autocrats have no confidence in their people to love their country without fear of their own imprisonment and death.

Iran has become dangerous and it is wrong as it could be about its own national security and its future. Truly religious men want peace and not jihad at the forefront of any national policy.

The fear of the other has to stop. The USA Evangelicals are wrong as well. Just imagine the world with two religions hell bent on hegemony. It can’t happen. If these autocrats and wannabe autocrats knew anything about national security they would know hegemony is not possible and would implode JUST FOR THE TRYING.

Iran is wrong to take an aggressive posture in thinking this will lead to the ideological goals its holy men set long ago to facilitate the removal of the Shah. Iran must be far more responsible toward its diaspora, provide a homeland, and change its religious fervor from jihad and hegemony to peaceful coexistence with other faiths and ethnicities. It is not too late for Iran to end terrorism and become part of a real global economy of prosperity and benevolence.

Look, even the Taliban are backpedaling on hate and fear.

When Donald Trump assassinated…

…two Iranian generals he removed Iran’s military brain trust. On an international scale that is not only stupid by a populous president, but, very dangerous. 

Those two Iranian generals knew how far they could push their boundaries. Now, with a diminished military brain trust Iran is becoming dangerous to itself and others. 

Everyone needs to put the SAFETIES on their nukes, especially anything Iran is even thinking about!

This is straight out of al Qaeda terrorist strategies.

(Click here)

The date September 11th was chosen to attack the USA because 9-11 is the emergency response number. Everyone know to call 911 in case of emergency. Terrorists like to use psychological warfare as well as infrastructure to maximize the impact of any attack. Iran, by attempting psychological warfare on innocent civilians is demonstrating it is a rouge country that employ terrorist strategies as well as proxies to carry out their particular hatred of Israel.

France has called its citizens home from Iran because of escalating tensions with unpredictable outcomes for citizens.

Athens, Greece which has nothing to do with October 7th in any way, may be targeted by Iran because Israel has investments in the country of Greece. This the problem with Iran, it has irrational leadership expecting Allah to make its success possible wherever the leadership decides to strike. This is crazy. The Ayatollah is tempting NATO now and not just Israel to act. Greece has been a member of NATO since 1952. The treaty will come into play if Iran fires on targets in Greece.

THESE AREN’T MILITARY TARGETS, you morons!

Egypt is doing everything it can to negotiate with Hamas and Israel. Iran needs to stay out of this war AND stop harboring terrorists!

The Labor Vote

These were President Biden’s constituents. They did well during his administration. Kamala is not guaranteed their vote because President Biden won their respect. President Biden will ask for the labor vote for Kamala, but, she needs to make that connection. 

Labor has been through a lot in the past two decades. They know the best way forward for their union members. Kamala needs to respect their suggestions and take them seriously. Both Andy Beshear and Tim Walz would make great running mates.

It is important Labor is on board this November. 

Is there any doubt…

 …that Trump is a plutocrat willing to game the system as dictator for the purpose of his wealth?

He will do anything, including destroying USA currency, if it gives him many pennies.

Proof of citizenship

(Click here) Below is a long form birth certificate already on the net. There are many pitfalls in demanding proof of citizenship at the time of voting registration. COST of that proof would prohibit the poor and disabled, including veterans.

Why is a state ID at the time of voting not enough?

This is Arizona’s idea of installing voter chaos. Before this the Republicans were demanding proof of identity at the time of voting. The problem then as with this new mess is cost and accessibility to facilities to prove identity to obtain a state ID in the first place. And why is Arizona ONLY insisting on proof of citizenship for federal elections? Is there something this extremist political party is trying to control at the federal level in 2024? It is pure corruption to single out federal elections as the only voting where proof of citizenship is required. 

The federal government, according to the USA Constitution, does not control voting, the states do. So why all of a sudden is Arizona throwing federal elections to the courts to decide, including the Supreme Court? Makes no sense to me. 

Committing fraud is a serious crime and one that can be imposed if falsely registering to vote. The reason fraud is part of voting regulations is to deter criminal use of voting rights. If the penalty is not strong enough, then increase the penalty. 

The correct focus for citizen’s asserting their right to vote is to make it easy to do so without hurdles. Voting increases citizens’ opportunity to have representation in government to solve their problems. 

If a state is going to require proof of citizenship in order to register then the state should be liable for ANY costs including accessibility. That means if a citizen cannot find a ride to the facility to register with proof of citizenship in hand, then the state MUST supply transportation to do so. If a citizen is not mobile due to physical infirmity then the state MUST supply a person to go to the citizen to record their citizenship for voting. Such home bound Americans can vote by mail. There should be no barriers to their participation. NONE. That is provided for by the American with Disabilities Act.

So, if Arizona wants proof of citizenship in order to vote, then there needs to be a reasonable time frame to alert citizens to this new requirement. That means such a measure cannot apply to this election.

One other thing. There is a law that allows for purging of voters from voter rolls to ensure accuracy in those voter rolls. There needs to be better structure to that process with provisions to reregistering if one is removed. 

That practice of purging voting rolls is a regular practice by Republicans of Blue States. Why is it not a practice by Democrats of Red States? Perhaps there should be a uniform time frame where all states are required to purge voter rolls so that citizens find incentive to vote regularly and avoid “the purge.” Most people I know are surprised to hear such a purge exists.

But, as to Arizona, they need to trust their citizens instead of a high level of mistrust. Such a change in voting regulations, proof of citizenship at the time of voting must have sufficient notice to citizens and I don’t see it being imposed for the 2024 elections. 

And, by the way, state IDs require proof of citizenship. The demand now by Arizona is redundancy. I do believe the Paperwork Reduction Act comes into view for enforcement with states that demand redundancy in voting regulations.

Birth certificates are costing at least $20 per certificate these days, with some states asking more of citizens.

How to maintain control in an autocracy.

(Click here)

The iconography of the Free World does not seek to maintain social control through devotion to hatred. Displaying slain strongmen of a wayward Iran is to impose the idea Iran is under attack. Iran is the attacker in the real world albeit through proxies, but, how does the Ayatollah explain to Iranians how the most admired men in Iran were killed by others? 

“Iran is under attack and they will return the Shah.” Ideology and fear maintain autocracies.

I do not doubt one word of Iran’s investigation into the death of a Hamas leader hiding in Iran. It happened, but, so did the deaths of 1200 people Ismail Hanliyeh hated for their religious practices. This is proof Hamas at its highest levels is affiliated with Iran. 

Weird and Creepy Vance

(Click here)

When Vance and Trump make these statements they are tapping into cultural “vibes” of Americans that are poor with large families. That paradigm of poor families is an issue the Democrats need to talk about because providing for those children is made difficult by Republican policies that reduce benefits like food stamps and Medicaid. 

Through no fault of their own (no addictions, domestic violence, stereotypes, etc.) poor families sometimes fall into disrepair and become involved with social services, ultimately Foster Care, and children are permanently placed and taken from their families. I do believe it is a dialogue that can be addressed.

But, Vance’s statements such as “they are coming for your kids” and “childless cat women” are a real political meme of sorts to try and drive poor people to the poles. I think it is referred to as “silly season.” Vance and Trump’s outrageous statements are a method of motivating culturally estranged Americans. Look, Trump built an entire propaganda machine for this purpose. There are free news channels and folks that use rabbit ear television yet in the USA. Those are the people these comments are seeking to vote. 

Democrats need to ask how many campaign offices they have in places like Appalachia. These can be estranged cultures within the USA. How is the public education going in these areas of America? Vance knows being poor with weird and creepy culture.

The question is, what had Vance and Trump done to improve the outcomes of these communities? Public education has been made weaker, the American diet is full of fat and carbohydrates, and rural health care has been more of a focus for Democrats than Republicans. Republicans neglect these folks, but, tap into the cultural mores for votes.

Trump’s propaganda machine is struggling. He is giving ultimatums about debates now. He is afraid of a girl.  It is my guess his WWF image is emerging now.

Trump vs. Cat Woman ?????????

Who knows what’s next.

They are all stunts to attract attention and Trump can then exhibit his, “It is unfair,” persona. The crucified Trump will rise about all that are culturally oppressed.

Forget people are dying of record heat, storms, tornadoes, and floods, send in FEMA!  What is important is the “infotainment” image, not policy that is legal and works.
