Republicans have been calling for an improved border security. Finally there is a bill that promises better border security, significantly better border security. It is a bipartisan bill and that is the way our government works, compromise for what's best for our country. However, Donald, who only thinks about himself, is calling upon Congress to not vote for the bill. Donald even admitted that it would be a temporary fix. So why does he not want this bill to be passed? Because he wants border security as a campaign issue and he wants to have full credit when another bill is put forth during a time when he might be president. A selfish and unworthy leader, he wants his Republican followers to do what's best for Donald and not what's best for our country.
Exactly, Robert. I would add, for the record, that President Biden had a written proposal related to Border Security as he came into office and submitted it to Congress for action. That never occurred. In fact, all should remember that just getting up and running in that first year for the republicans who gained a small majority margin to even name a final leader... And, sadly, we now see that leader constantly talks about having discussed the issue with Donald Trump and publicly refusing to act based upon his orders!
So, once again, the republican party has stopped action on a supposedly crisis situation for three years! And, wants all Americans to wait another year before they will even consider the subject! Vote all republicans now in congress OUT! We need to work in a bipartisan fashion to solve this problem. Game-Playing by the republicans has to stop!

Fact: Donald has been found guilty of fraud. Fact: some of his vast wealth was acquired through fraud.
Of course, he has hired dozens of attorneys to defend him in his many court cases. No big deal, he is, after all, a billionaire and can afford them. Donald even hired an “expert witness”, Bartov, to testify that his many properties weren’t inflated in price just to get needed business loans. Guess what? The testimony didn’t help and might have left Donald exposed to even more penury payments. And, what was the cost of this “expert testimony”? Just shy of a MILLION DOLLARS! What is most interesting, however, is that Donald (a billionaire!) didn’t have to pay this guy. Nope. The money came out of his political action committee, comically called “Save America”. Hmm. Sounds like this action committee would have been better named “Save Trump”. In fact, this con-man billionaire has spent campaign funds to a total of $55.6 million on legal costs in 2023! Over the last two years, campaign fundraising organizations have devoted $76.7 million to legal fees for republican defendants, mostly the past president!
Now, this isn’t illegal. Sad, yes. But, also comical. Think about it. MAGA followers contribute their hard-earned money for Donald to be RE-ELECTED. Yet, much of their contributions goes toward helping a billionaire who has already bragged he has over 400 million dollar in cash, but doesn’t touch a penny of it! Yes, Donald loves the uneducated. And, for good reasons. They lack the intelligence to know that they are being tricked by an expert con-man and thus freely give up their money to support his unethical and criminal behavior.
Well, I think many are being confused by the willing news agencies, such as Fox, who repeat Trump's lies and disinformation... On purpose or not, they are not getting the Truth...
Frankly, it's my opinion that if we had a less biased Supreme Court, we would have been able to conduct additional civil cases against Trump. Given the very clear planned procrastination by the Judge of the Records Theft/Espionage Case, which would have already occurred and, in my opinion, definitely found him guilty as charged... This case is a slam-dunk, held up by the Trump-appointed judge and the republicans...
My stomach has successfully withstood "super" hot buffalo wings, cottage cheese, and lima beans… but it has not been able to withstand the posts suggesting that Donald is sent by God. I literally gag when I read such ridiculous crap. Or see the new ads!!!
To all Christians, "let us reason together." God didn’t smile upon a pathological liar who was so narcissistic that he puts himself before family, friends, and country. Nor would God choose as a messenger a twice-divorced man who walks into the dressing rooms of girls and women and believes he can just “grab’em by the pussy.” God would not want to have as his emissary a leader who resorts to childish name-calling and “bears false witness” (nearly every day!) to those who disagree with him.
Donald is nothing like the imperfect but still great King David. Rather than being chosen by Jesus, he is the anthesis of Jesus. So, for Heaven’s sake, give God more credit… he would never choose such a dishonest and disgraceful man to lead our country.
Yes, Donald is the most immoral character to ever reside in the White House. Yes, he has polarized our country with his Big Lie. Yes, his sloppy and self-centered behavior has landed him in over four different criminal court cases. But his greatest threat to our nation and the world remains his distorted view of NATO. This is a defense pact that for over sixty years has held the Russian Bear in check.
Donald decidedly doesn’t like NATO. "You need to understand that if Europe is under attack, we will never come to help you and to support you," Trump told European Commission President. "By the way, NATO is dead, and we will leave, we will quit NATO," Donald also said, according to French commissioner Breton. As president in July 2018, Mr. Trump not only nearly withdrew from NATO at an alliance summit but denounced the European Union as a “foe” because of “what they do to us in trade.” He then attended a summit with Mr. Putin, after which he expressed skepticism about the idea that the United States should go to war to defend a tiny NATO ally, Montenegro. Donald’s dispute with the alliance harks back to his 2000 book, “The America We Deserve. Trump wrote that “their conflicts are not worth American lives. Pulling back from Europe would save this country millions of dollars annually.”
Donald wants out of NATO. And as more and more MAGA cult followers infiltrate the legislative branch, he might have the votes to do it. Even if he can’t dissolve NATO, he can wreak havoc. While Congress controls the purse strings, the president executes the laws. So, even if Congress appropriates further aid to NATO countries, Mr. Trump could withhold delivery of it — as he did in 2019 when trying to coerce Mr. Zelensky into announcing a criminal investigation into Mr. Biden, the abuse-of-power scandal that led to Mr. Trump’s first impeachment.
Presently Russia’s battlefield strategy has been blunted and they are now carrying out attacks to just to keep the war going. Even though Russia has fared poorly in the war with hundreds of thousands killed or wounded and their economy severely weakened depleted, Putin refuses to consider a peace settlement. Why? Because Putin has calculated he could be in a much better position after the 2024 election when he will once again try to tip the scales in favor of his buddy, Donald.
Yes, our democracy is threatened by Donald. But the world is threatened even more by Donald’s attacks on NATO. There is no new history, folks. There is just history that repeats itself, sometimes in ugly ways. Donald often invokes the slogan “America First.” He did not originate this phrase. It was first popularized by American isolationists opposed to getting involved in World War II. Most people (but perhaps not Donald) recognize that our financial and later military helped in that war as a pivoting force saving the world from fascism. If Donald gets into office, it will be good for Putin and good for fascism around
the world.
Well, I tend to put having Trump as a Dictator over my concern for NATO. After all, if Trump is elected, he has already declared what would happen. My concern is for all those non-white men and women, also God's children...and even, myself and other white women since he obviously is a (old-term) sexist pig!
Yes, Indeed, Robert! My only additional comment is that, in my opinion, the Prime Minister who was already under scrutiny before Hamas attacked, may also be waiting for Trump's return--dictators love dictators...including from Iran... I've thought this could very well be a planned effort as Putin started, then each of the other primary dictators followed... What do you think?
By the way, my stomach also flips whenever I hear what the political-thirst for power has done to some leaders in Christianity! I speak out often on this issue and will continue to do so. Given the split of news agencies who cater to disinformation and sensationalism rather than truth, we must continue to shed God's Truth across the World in any way we can.
Carly for the first time allowed her song to be used for politics. Thank you and others such as today's top artists who speak out...related to voting...
