unfortunately Kennedy is changing with the wind, just like trump was and is. I am writing in someone, because I do not trust either of the 3. Formerly 2 parties were not enough to fool the people (Bob Hope) now we will have a third one. And remember, European countries might have 5, 6 or more parties and they are mostly doing the same. Russian and Hungarian are above my learning capacity. Sadly enough.
Ingrid, I was an observer for a recount in 2018 (when DeSantis narrowly won). I learned a lot, and one thing I learned was that ballots cast for anyone who is not a qualified candidate (filed and either paid the filing fees or got a sufficient number of petitions and filed the required financial reports), such as many write-ins, are not counted, but each one must be adjudicated by the Election Board, wasting the time of those officials, the elections staff, and the observers.
Also there are usually a number of things worth voting on besides the top of the ticket. Local judges, for example. Long ago I voted for Ross Perot thinking I was sending a protest message, but later came to the conclusion that due to our two party system we will always be presented with just two viable choices that can and will win. All the other candidates are just noise. If you decline to vote for at least the better of the two choices we always get, and if you vote for or write in a third party that has no realistic hope of winning, you don't really send a message to anyone at all, none of them care how you vote. However, you do let others choose FOR you.
I will have to look who else is up for election. There might be other items. Like the still not applied law that should stop the time change spring-fall. That was voted 2 years ago, a fair amount of the people want it stopped. But obviously, our 'representatives' find it a futile thing and have much better on hand - pocket filling I suppose.
I haven’t seen Trump change with the wind. If you go back and listen to him in interviews from several decades ago, I believe you’ll see he’s been amazingly consistent throughout.
well he did with his staff. Every other week someone else? and he was going to get rid of the medical advertisements. we recently looked that up and that law was never signed. I think it does not matter who is president, honestly. They all have to dance along with the same tune. They may have good ideas for themselves but once president, it is the rockefalla!
absolutely. Now that people are finally waking up, I am glad to see several books about other vaccines. Several sites and Substacks also, and yesterday the Australian TV interview a doctor and her partner both vaccine harmed. The door is slowly opening!
Fred, have you heard about this new book out about all the Kennedy men and the women who were unfortunate enough to cross their paths? It's called "Ask Not" by Maureen Callahan. There is some VERY unflattering information in their about RFK Jr. and the treatment of his second wife (who committed suicide in 2012). It was all new information to me. I know the sexual antics of JFK, RFK and Ted Kennedy are now well-known and accepted, but it appears the men of this family have some misogynistic tendencies. Anyway. I look at RFK Jr. a little differently now.
Here's an interview with Callahan on her book. More than enough and more than I wanted to know. I'd venture to say the progeny of any political family is high risk for the nation in our times.
he's upper class and has always been. They all are, how long has it been since a regular, working class person has been able to try for president? has there ever been since the early ones? and were they? I just read they all belonged to secret societies, free masons and the likes. I don't think you get to go there if you are penniless.
Dr. Carson grew up on the streets of Detroit. Raised by a hard-working, illiterate, single mom, who prized education for her two boys and fought like hell to keep them out of gangs, while working three menial jobs. He became a top neurosurgeon.
I really like the movie about him "Gifted Hands." On the DVD I have of it, there is behind-the-scenes stuff with Dr Carson. I have respected and admired him ever since I watched and listened to him on that. His mind is top shelf.
The fact that he is someone that Mike Lindell immediately talked to over the phone and received wise consolation from when Mike couldn't get his security clearance gag order release signed by Trump in January 2021 (for Dennis Montgomery's election fraud evidence) spoke to me; I sensed that Dr Carson has an excellent mindset --in that Mike said that Ben told him that possibly it was not the right time, and asked Mike if it's not possible that God had a different idea (ala Isaiah 55:8 -- "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.") something to that effect, in Mike's telling of their conversation.
Dr Carson is soft spoken but hard-to-impossible-to-shake from the steely courage of his convictions from what I see, and he worked earnestly and effectively, in my judgment such as it is, as HUD Secretary (I might not have gotten the title exactly right) in Trump's first term.
He's doen't get riled in the face of the usual hostility and vitriole from unfair detractors and the Trump Deranged, and that's commendable.
He's steady and inexoriably focused on task when it's called for. (He really was a -PIONEERING- BRAIN SURGEON, though I doubt even HE could fix Sleepy Joe... because there's not much to work with there anymore... but I digress. Ben Carson: Gifted hands AND gifted MIND.)
He's shown, to me at least, that he wouldn't likely cave in the face of adversity or disingenuously behave like President Trump's first VP.
I think he, unlike Pence, or some of the other prospective future VP candidates, is the real deal, and we'd be fortunate to have him be President Trump's back-up in his second term.
I like the way he thinks, and the way he carries himself both. He's no light weight intellectually, but he doesn't just throw his weight around ungracefully, or bluster the usual political narratives over and over. He speaks well.
Will Trump pick him? I don't know, and I haven't a clue, other than I believe he's on the short list, so I have hope. I think it would speak well of President Trump to select Dr Ben Carson for VP.
yes but that is not president. Several people worked themselves up, but did they become president? If Dr. Carson runs for president we shall see if he makes it.
My son spent a few years in and out of Johns Hopkins Pediatric Cardiology when he was young (late 80s-early 90s). Many of the cardiologists felt Carson had an overinflated ego. Never met him.
probably will write in Ron Paul or Emanuel Pastreich, one of the forgotten independent candidates. T o no avail, of course. And depending on the weather I might follow your example.
given the fiasco that is Harris, we should also be looking at the VP. 32% of them have become president. And we have a great example of what to avoid now with Brandon and his Hyena

My state and several others do not allow write-in votes. Automatically ruins the ballot and disqualified it.

I did not know any of this. Thank you for sharing.
thank you. Thanks to Fred Bennett as well. I will save myself the time of going to vote for someone I absolutely do not want to be president, then
But, Ingrid, there will be lots of other candidates and issues on the ballot! Don't stay home because of the presidential race alone!

But, then again…Orange Man bad

Hopefully, the current debacle with big pharm vaccines may keeping the spotlight on them. We need to keep talking about it.
absolutely. Now that people are finally waking up, I am glad to see several books about other vaccines. Several sites and Substacks also, and yesterday the Australian TV interview a doctor and her partner both vaccine harmed. The door is slowly opening!
I'm voting RFK, but his inability to keep his positions is deeply unsettling. Wouldn't be surprised if I don't vote at all and never vote again.

I'd like to see him as Trump's VP.

I agree Anita.
Dr Carson seems to be sincere. A good man.

I have heard of this. It would be more bothersome if I didn't know that RFK was an addict then.
Obviously that doesn't excuse anything. But it colors it somewhat.
Changing positions is not bad... if the change was due to additional information.
probably will write in Ron Paul or Emanuel Pastreich, one of the forgotten independent candidates. T o no avail, of course. And depending on the weather I might follow your example.
He’s a climate change freak! I don’t trust anyone who goes down that road. It’s the globalist’s dream issue!
given the fiasco that is Harris, we should also be looking at the VP. 32% of them have become president. And we have a great example of what to avoid now with Brandon and his Hyena
Hyena! Perfect.
And that ridiculous ´speech’ she gave about space...
« Space is very big & very far away ».
Give us a BREAK!
"What Can Be, Unburdened By What Has Been...."
And variations thereof.
