Vice Presidential Debate Indecisive, But Tim Walz Continues To Have Higher Public Opinion Rating!

admin 18 Comments

Last night’s CBS Tim Walz-JD Vance Vice Presidential Debate was indecisive, as Tim Walz did not go for the “jugular vein” of JD Vance, giving him a pass on his “cat ladies” comment and his promotion of the Springfield Haitian immigrants controversy, which Walz brought up, but did not go far enough. Overall, the tone of the debate was more civil than one might have expected.

Early indications are that Vance was seen as having performed somewhat better, although it was very troubling that he was unwilling to say Donald Trump lost the Presidential Election of 2020, amid indications he would be willing to contest the results in a similar situation after this year’s election.

Walz seemed a bit tentative in his debate style, so in that sense, he was disappointing, but still the public perception of Walz is much higher than that of Vance.

Stylistically, Vance can be perceived overall as a better debater, but he engaged in lying in many of his statements, with Walz giving him a pass.

History tells us that Vice Presidential debates do not determine election results, so in that sense, Walz did not have a specific blunder that would undermine the Democratic Party Presidential campaign.

Sad Attack On Immigration, When Immigrants Have Always Been The Lifeblood Of American Progress!

admin Leave a comment

Donald Trump and JD Vance have waged war on immigration, demonizing immigrants from Haiti and Venezuela specifically, but really promoting the concept of nativism–that America should not welcome “foreigners”, despite the reality that it is immigrants who have been the lifeblood of America since its founding.

First, it was French immigrants in the 1790s who were victimized by the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798.

Then it was Irish and German Catholic immigrants who were victims of hate and prejudice in the 1840s and 1850s, including the creation of a nativist party, the American or “Know Nothing” party.

Then, it was Italian and Polish Catholic and Eastern European Jewish immigrants in the fifty years from the 1870s to the 1920s who were subjected to discrimination, leading to restrictive immigration laws passed under President Calvin Coolidge in the 1920s.

Asian immigration–from first China until banned in 1882—and then Japan, banned in 1924— suffered from terrible mistreatment and hatred.

Latin American immigration, particularly from Mexico, but from all of the nations of the hemisphere, was subjected to constant discrimination, and still are, with the one exception of Cuban immigration due to the perceived threat of Fidel Castro after 1959.

And as people migrate to escape bloodshed, violence, and poverty from nations around the globe, they face new demagoguery now being promoted by the Republican Party under Trump and Vance, and this despite the fact that Trump’s third wife is an immigrant, and Vance’s wife is from an immigrant family.

Donald Trump Promotes Open Racism And Antisemitism: Will Republicans React Against This?

Donald Trump and JD Vance are promoting open racism by their continued insistence on spreading the lie that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating pet cats and dogs.

The Republican mayor and the Republican governor have made it clear that no such situation has ever existed, but both Trump and Vance continue to cause turmoil on this issue, causing bomb threats and shutdowns of schools and hospitals and other public venues by right wing hate mongers who are encouraged by the rhetoric of Trump and Vance.

And now, Trump is planning to go to Springfield, when he should be told he is not welcome, and the Secret Service should make it clear that it will not endorse such a visit, as it has no purpose but to promote racism and prejudice!

Beyond the Haitian immigrant situation, now Trump has told American Jews, that if he loses the election in November, it will be their fault, because about three quarters of Jews vote Democratic! This is open antisemitism, and anyone who is Jewish, or who cares about Jewish matters, should openly condemn Trump, as what he is promoting is like perpetuating Adolf Hitler’s attacks on Jews.

The open racism and antisemitism of Trump must be condemned by all decent people, and for anyone who is Jewish to go ahead and vote for him is pure insanity!

JD Vance Is Outrageous In Rhetoric Against Kamala Harris!

Ohio Senator JD Vance, the Vice Presidential nominee with Donald Trump, has become a “clear and present danger” by his outrageous rhetoric, simply by asserting that Kamala Harris has not been threatened with her life, as Donald Trump has now been twice threatened by potential assassins. That is totally inappropriate to say by any candidate!

It is Trump and Vance who have been speaking and threatening bloodshed and violence, and unwillingness to accept election results, and it is the Republican Presidential team which is using incendiary language and promoting racism, misogyny and causing grief to Haitian immigrants and the city of Springfield, Ohio!

Considering that Trump and Vance have utilized confrontational language and attacked the news media for reporting their evil deeds, it is them that have provoked danger and hatred, not Kamala Harris, or Joe Biden, or Tim Walz! Their incendiary language provokes unstable people, and is a danger to public safety!

Trump has talked about a “dictatorship on Day One”, which requires a response.

JD Vance has spread rumors that have caused a crisis in Springfield, Ohio, and refused to stop spreading lies and fear, and he needs to be held accountable.

His mistreatment of Dana Bash of CNN last Sunday showed he is a dangerous demagogue, who must not be allowed to become a heartbeat away from the Presidency!

Donald Trump has given us a nightmare candidate in JD Vance, clearly the most dangerous and disgraceful nominee in modern history for the number two office, making Sarah Palin and Dan Quayle look far better!

Trump-Vance Lies On Immigration: But Their Wives Are From Immigrant Families!

admin 7 Comments

The anti immigrant rhetoric continues from both Donald Trump and JD Vance, despite the fact that Trump’s wife is an immigrant from Slovenia, and Vance’s wife is from an Asian Indian Hindu family!

Their refusal to stop dramatizing lies about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, that they are eating cat and dog pets of residents, is reckless, and despite the pleas of Springfield government officials to stop what they are doing.

It is pure racism and bigotry, and JD Vance just adds to his horrendous image as a man of no common decency, willing to be a chameleon in the pursuit of power.

It has to be urgent for voters to recognize that JD Vance would be a heartbeat away from the Presidency if Donald Trump wins the Oval Office again. That should be a ringing alarm bell that voters must make certain, for yet another of a multitude of reasons, to insure that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz win control of the Presidency and Vice Presidency in November!

J D Vance Controversial VP Nominee, Promoting Anti Haitian Immigrant Conspiracy Theory!

admin 1 Comment

Republican Vice Presidential nominee J D Vance is already perceived as the least regarded and most controversial nominee for Vice President since Sarah Palin, and with a lower rating than both Palin and former Vice President Dan Quayle in public perception.

Donald Trump could have selected a less controversial nominee to be a heartbeat away from the Oval Office, but he chose Vance, who is perpetuating a conspiracy theory about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, that they are eating residents’ pet cats and dogs, a preposterous charge!

Vance, already suspicious due to his chameleon nature, having switched totally in his views of Donald Trump from years ago, also has stated that “Civil War” is still going on in America, and that he sides with the South and the “Confederacy” against “the woke North”.

Vance’s open racism and nativism, and his promotion of division and confrontation is alarming, and his demagoguery will make the upcoming CBS Vice Presidential debate on October 1 a moment of great public attention, when Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz confronts the controversial and divisive Vance!

Kamala Harris Continues Her Amazing Rise!

admin 7 Comments

On top of her wonderful performance in the ABC Presidential Debate against Donald Trump, Kamala Harris has continued her amazing rise, gaining large amounts of additional campaign financial support; winning over more Republicans (such as former Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez under George W. Bush); and gaining in polls that now show her with a five point lead, and ahead in the Rust Belt states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, and tied in North Carolina and Nevada at this point.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is claiming he won the debate, which no observer or sane person accepts as fact, and he is seen as spending time with lunatics like Laura Loomer, who even Marjorie Taylor Greene denounces. Also, his claim that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating people’s pet dogs and cats is preposterous, and an indication of how far gone mentally he is.

To believe that Trump could govern for the next four years is a fantasy, and the thought that his Vice Presidential running mate, JD Vance of Ohio, is a good alternative, is to be delusional, and with Vance promoting the myth about Haitian immigrants, purely racist, and threatening to their safety!
