You sure don’t live in New England. After Memorial Day here.

Based on your lucid writing and communication here I would have never guessed you were north of 83!
I’d hate to encounter your brain before you slowed down. 🙂

Who’s holding out to get their plants in the ground til after Mother’s Day? Thought I’d change the subject to something you can actually control. Dirt under the fingernails is about as honest as it gets.

The ad reminds me of the Nixon, Reagan, and Bush commercials that liberals and progressives mocked as manipulative pseudopatriotic hokum. I feel like we’re at an impasse in American politics. Biden is the triumph of hypocritical political B.S. How much further can it go and how much more can we take? I wish we could get rid of all the manipulative nonsense. But the B.S. is the heart of campaign discourse. Somebody who told us the truth would never get elected or be able to govern.

Whatever the diagnosis, Biden’s cognitive abilities are rapidly declining.

O/T, but Hunter is supposed to appear in court in Arkansas on Monday. Will he show up?

I don’t buy it. Joe has some of the symptoms, but he doesn’t have any tremors that I can see. He is stiff, has trouble with speaking, and keeping focused – which are symptoms of PDD.

Surely, the Democrats and those who are managing him behind the scenes wouldn’t try to foist a man so ill on us. Would they?

He’s obviously not a healthy, vigorous 80-year-old man. I was vigorous and mentally alert at that age. But at age 83 my health turned south, and I’ve never quite recovered. The same thing can happen to anyone over 80. IMO, something has already happened to Joe. His health is an issue that they hope to cover up by limiting his public appearances.

However, I wouldn’t focus on that as much as the awful shape we’re in after two years of his presidency. Inflation – everyone except the wealthy notices it. The open border is a running sore. Rampant crime in our major cities is a disgrace. Our foreign policy is in disarray – new alliances are being made with China. And China insults Biden with impunity. Our schools are a mess. Deficit spending is devaluing the dollar and making us all poorer. Our military is spending time on social justice issues and not on being as lethal as possible. Transgender issues are boiling out of control. Our medical system still hasn’t recovered from the pandemic. There are many more issues that Republicans can run on, but the above are most noticeable.

All that said, my belief is that the next election will be won by truing the vote. That means spending money and time in swing states and counties where attention to thwarting cheating may pay big dividends. Witha candidate such as Biden, the Dems know they will have to cheat to drag his octogenarian carcass over the finish line. We know it too. If we aren’t prepared, shame on us.
