It really bothers me when they talk about President Trump's falling poll numbers. There are so many people who have died who were such staunch supporters of Trump. But they are never included in the polling numbers.

Most of his dead supporters are undoubtedly in Heaven now, living eternally with Christ, so I don't see why they can't be counted.

President Trump so loves the Jews that he has renamed Yosemite National Park Yo Semite.

My God, what a fabulous President we have! And this video shows just how much he cares about preserving our nation's natural heritage.

Donald Trump, through his steadfast leadership, has kept America safe from the coronavirus while the rest of the world is dying. Even without his many other accomplishments--more than any other President in our history--this is enough to guarantee a rightful place on Mt. Rushmore.

But that isn't enough. It would not be fair to keep the faces of Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt on the monument. Never in a million years could those fine gentlemen, for all of their virtues, have borne the burdens of the office with as much grace, wisdom, dignity, and energy as President Trump has. They simply do not belong in his company.

if you're wondering what we could do with the extra space that removing these four images would create, why not privatize it? After all, it would be prime billboard space.

Also we're the freest country in the world (note that locking up the most amount of people and having the highest incarceration rates doesn't restrict our freedom. It's only criminals that get locked up. It helps the good people be more free as they don't have to worry about criminals).



It's like gun deaths. We accept that we will have more gun deaths as a sacrifice for our freedom, and it's a sacrifice well worth making. Under normal conditions, we might have gun deaths at 400-500 times other countries in exchange for our freedom, but Trump has gotten that number down to 100 times the gun deaths of other developed nations.


And covid deaths, we accept that we may have a few more covid deaths in exchange for our freedom to not where masks and to hold mass gatherings, and that's again a cost well worth paying. Anything else is communism ( https://twitter.com/davenewworld_2/s...06240287248384 )

While I don't think we should be using deaths as a percentage of population, I do want to point out how great we're doing on that metric. Given our amazing freedoms, I'd expect to have 1,000-2,000 times the death per population as countries like South Korea where they have draconian and unreasonable restrictions on freedoms.

South Korea has around 300 covid deaths and 51M people or 1 death per 170k people. US on the other hand has around 331M people and 166k deaths or one death per 2,000 people! With all our amazing freedoms we only have around 100 times the death! That's a very reasonable number IMO.

You can't compare the death rate of other countries to US in the same way that you can't compare the cost of a jumbo jet to the cost of a bicycle. You're paying more because you're getting more. I can't wait to proudly proclaim "We only have 100 times the death rate of South Korea!" That's an absolute victory over covid-19 and a celebratory stat in my book!

In fact, to compensate for our vastly greater freedoms, I think every death/case stat in USA should be divided by 1,000 when comparing to other countries. That would give us a more fair comparison to work off of. I call this the Freedom index™.

Here's our gun deaths per 100,000 people with the Freedom Index™ taken into account:


* as per ( https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsan...m-gun-violence )**US deaths divided by 1,000 to account for FI

Here's a similar chart for covid deaths per 100k population.



* As per ( https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality)
** US deaths divided by 1,000 to account for FI

Once you factor in the freedom you'll see US is actually doing better than any other country in the world.

Prayer Warrior, freedom-adjusting statistics is the kind of right-minded thinking that should dominate the academic social sciences today. Why can't the professors see past their radical leftist biases to do this kind of groundbreaking quantitative work?

Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushner’s team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically. “The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy,” said the expert.

I'm guessing this is fake news, but could we totally blame Trump if this were the case? Although it is troubling to think about and unfortunate that so many Americans are passing away, the more that do in blue states the less votes there are likely to be in Biden come November. I always felt it was a stain on Trump's first win how he officially win the popular vote in addition to the electoral college vote (unfortunately his exploratory committee was not able to disqualify all the illegal votes cast for Hillary).


If enough voters in blue states happen to pass away prior to November, not only does it allow Trump to blame Democrats but it also helps get him more votes than Biden.


Unless people happen to blame Trump for covid-19 expanding and use that as a criteria to vote against him, but why would they do that?




Also, as I mentioned earlier

Per Trump's estimation, we'd have 1.5-2 million lives lost to covid-19 without his life saving measures, but maybe only considering covid-19 is being too conservative.

Who could blame Trump for costing a few hundred thousand lives when he's saving millions of lives?

Another conspiracy by the BLM fascists is on the fake news media again.


Are you telling me a nigro cannot take seven bullets and keep walking?

I mean, the nigroes were hard working guys, happy to pick cotton every day of the way, 365 days a year.


All of the sudden they cannot eat a bullet or they have weak necks.


Luckily for the world, this will NOT mean people will vote Biden. Donald will win and will do what it has to be done with fake news and BLM.

Apparently there was a very earnest white boy of 17 or so who just wanted to defend his people, and now he has been arrested. Whatever were the police thinking?

He is only arrested because fake media is lobbying. In the scene, the policemen did the right things and let him go home with the rifle on his shoulder.

During this unprecedented global pandemic, one of the issues top of my mind was "Okay, I've heard about how many people are dying a million times from the lamestream media and how many infections there are and how many masks there are bla bla bla but what about Donald Trump's ratings?? Is anyone going to address that?"


Fortunately, the President addressed my concerns in one of his powerful Tweets. Noting that his appearance on the news is drawing record ratings. I'll sleep easy tonight.

We have some disappointing news. I mean the 180k people dying of covid and all that but as Trump said "it is what it is".

https://hillreporter.com/rncs-final-...r-nights-77385

What is especially distressing is that Trump's ratings during the RNC speech wasn't that great, and even did worse than Biden. These ratings have broader implications for our nation as a whole as they could indicate that people actually care what the Sleepy Joe campaign has to say. We cannot allow this to continue to happen. Buy extra cable subscriptions, tell your neighbors to tune in, do whatever it takes to propel Trump up in the ratings next time he speaks.

Also, low ratings are very stressful to President Trump. There is absolutely no need to make him suffer like that. His life is hard enough as it is.

You speak the truth, Sister Handy. One of the ways we can help the President is raising his spirits. Coming to his events, praising his posts and comparing him favorably to Obama are all important to him.

I would caution that it could be interpreted as an insult to compare Trump with Obama, as it's hardly a compliment to be lined up against the worst President of all time. I think comparisons with Lincoln or Reagan would be more appropriate.

People are even talking about redesigning Mt Rushmore to show 4 contrasting sides of Mr. Trump: his sarcastic side, his mocking side. His uh... strong leader side. All the best sides.

And for the fourth, don't forget his tasteful side. Nobody rocks gold plated elegance the way Donald Trump does. That's why it's critical that he overrides Melania's decisions on White House decor. In fact, we should probably gold plate the entire monument.

One thing for certain if Trump's image were on Mt. Rushmore protest gatherings below it would stop. Now Communists like Indians and gays parade through Mr. Rushmore and show no respect. The local sheriff does a good job of arresting them. But with Trump on the monument we would need Federal Marshalls 24/7.

When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true.


Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.

Like the non-hero John McCain who got himself captured, there are many soldiers who do an even worse job and get themselves killed. The whole point of joining the military is to kill other people. Anybody can get killed.


If Trump didn't have bone spurs, you can bet he'd be one of the most celebrated non-captured non-killed war heroes of all time.

That was a great article, Brother Warrior, thanks for sharing it.

There was one statement in that article that really spoke to me. (Through the Holy Spirit, of course.)


"The president believes that nothing is worth doing without the promise of monetary payback, and that talented people who don’t pursue riches are 'losers.'"


It is important here to note how seamlessly aligned President Trump is with Biblical principals. In the Gospel According to the Apostle Matthew, Chapter 25, verses 26-30, we read a searing indictment of those who are unwilling to make make money.


His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. For unto everyone that hath shall be given and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


We see now-- straight from Jesus' own perfectly white, straight teeth--how important it is to God that we use the gifts that He has bestowed on us to make money. This is something that Donald Trump has always understood. Therefore, it is no surprise that Our Lord ordained him to lead this Great Country during such a time of lucrative opportunity.

[Johny Joe Hold]

A new poll shows Biden is now ahead in both Minnesota and Arizona. Trump almost carried Minnesota four years ago and our thinking is he will climb over the hill and take it this time.

Then, Arizona has been reliably Republican for decades. Trump will take Arizona also. It's reasonable to ask why polls show him behind in both states?

You have to know a lot about politics to understand this. I can help. President Trump is behind right now due to something we in politics call the "delayed convention bounce." Every election cycle the parties have a convention. There is lots of excitement. The excitement yields a bump in the polls.

A month ago Republicans had their convention but there was no bump in Trump's polling. That is by design. His people want the bump to occur right before the election. The bump is coming--it has just not arrived yet. In fact, we may not see it until the first week in November.

Not to worry. The President has this well in hand.

This is just in. The President looks so strong and is so confident of victory he has pulled ads in several swing states. We're going to see him winning the reelection and ending with a huge pile of cash. Our guy is coasting to victory.
