Does he get to participate in the first debate?
Also, unless he’s a so-called “transgender” there’s no need for him to enter, he’ll never get any attention.

It’s an interesting, Mission Impossible type of story but I give it a roulette’s single-spin chance (1/37 or 1/38, depending on how many zeros are on the table) of being correct. Of course, my statistics are just as dicey as the redneck’s … but less sexy.

That reminds of of the bogus argument about income disparity or wealth disparity. Every person in the Us has an opportunity to be mega wealthy. It might take luck, a great idea, extra motivation, whatever, but none of us are prevented from going there. It’s not like a socialist state where the classes are imposed. I am middle class because I work hard enough to be in this class but not hard enough to go higher. 🙂

Ann Coulter AWESOME article on illegal immigration today
“More serious studies put the number considerably higher. At the low end, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale study last year put the number of illegals at 22 million. Yet Bear Stearns investment bank had it at 20 million back in 2005, and Pulitzer-prize-winning investigative reporters Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele reported in 2004 *** that 3 million illegals were crossing each year — so simple math would put it at well over 60 million today.” ***

MUST READ ARTICLE!!! PLEASE TWEET!!!
“So, right there, the FAIR study underestimates the tab for illegal immigration by at least a factor of three, meaning the real cost is about *** $350 billion a year. *** That’s triple what Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-Mass.) free college tuition plan will cost in a decade.”

If restoring LAW & ORDER had been a TOP PRIORITY… much of these politically-motivated, SIDESHOW-DRAMAS could’ve been prevented. Or at least been stifled– had CORRECTIVE ACTIONS been taken as each aspect of AROSE. Having NOT has only ENABLED the ISSUES to fester & grow.
Some of the EXCUSES have prove valid. But that SHOULDN’T mean the problem gets brushed aside, or efforts redirected elsewhere. Instead the obstacle NEEDS REMOVED, or another means FOUND to RESOLVE it. We also play a part in by accepting the “WHY NOT’s,” a/o SETTLING for more DELAYS.
Meanwhile, the FakeNewsMedia are making MONEY spinning countless CONTROVERSIES out of every Issue. Others are writing BOOKS, a/o building CAREERS off the SUFFERING. Politicians take advantage of the FREE-PUBLICITY, PANDERING for donations & votes. Congress gets to perform MORE THEATER, & AVOID doing their ACTUAL JOBS. And there are COUNTLESS others also PROFITING in untold ways… the BIGGER the CRISIS, the BETTER.
It’s ALMOST like there’s a concerted EFFORT for NOTHING being done. And only REA$ON$ to ALLOW things to escalate. When it reaches a point of needing EXTREME MEASURES to FIX– there’ll be LOTS more EXCUSES for why they can’t.

Wow! Did anyone see that a knitting website is banning talk of supporting Trump! What kind of drugs are they on??
They think that support of Trump means you support white supremacy! This has been brewing for a few years I guess. This is the same website that promoted the pink pussy hats in 2017 and they’ve been going after knitters, yarn dyers and pattern designers who are white and don’t call themselves racist. I saw that Quilette had been doing some articles on that whole brouhaha, so this one is even more interesting. I have a sister in law who is a member of this website, and she has said the level of harassment Conservative Republicans get from the leftist on it is insane to the point that they follow you to other platforms to harass you. Said that this latest bit was started by a lady who designed a Trump 2020 cowl knitting pattern which got the leftist all up in arms and the lady was kicked off the website along with her patterns. They even banned her God is Love hat earlier in the month because they said it was “hateful”.
Get the word out! These leftists are terminally insane!

Rav website is full of rabid leftists. It’s run by rabid leftists. They cater to rabid leftists. It’s not the little red hen chick according to my sister in law, it’s all of them. The designers, yarn dyers and some of the knitters. It’s mainly led by the white ones too. They feel guilt for being white and are trying to pressure everyone else to feel the same way too. My sister in law is canceling her account asap. Sad thing is she said she has many patterns on there that she bought over the years and is having to go through and download them all.
Just like leftists to destroy something.

Just deleted my account. Leftists are ruining one thing after another. Makes me mad and sad at the same time. As a knitter I don’t need to associate with hateful people and websites run by goofballs.

Well everyone knows that the term “knitting” is code for child sacrifice. And three crochet needles arranged in the “A” configuration is a lesser-known sign for Satanism… something about 3 lines and 5 points… 5 x 3 = 555… which has some significance or other, can’t remember the details. IIRC, the Rothschilds are heavy into knitting. If you didn’t know that, now you do. All I know is that *I* wouldn’t want to hang out on that website. Scary stuff.
