US Politics | August 2024 #2

The phenomena of projections are an interesting fact in politics, and measured in polls ? From the moment President Biden was moved from the front seat to the Beach Chair, Vice President Kamala Harris bumped her approval rating from about 35 to 43 after the DNC convention. Rational thinking would say that is impossible without taking notice of substance, but I guess dressing up a bit is good enough to win an election. As of August 29, see the CNN interview , her values and policies have not changed, but the rhetoric depends on which state she is touring, however she still as of now will push the green new deal, work on centralized power, force unions and enforce governmental price and pay structure, and do nothing on the Border and pump more money into the economy overall, call it centralized government like Tim Walz admires in China, also known in Russia, the country we need to defeat. Putin may have the state media to enforce his view, how different are CNN, MSNBC or all the Harris culture people. They will snitch you in a second, she gets in power, and brand you as disloyal, with all the dismissive tools at hand.

The Robert F Kennedy Jr. effect may not amount to much for a Trump campaign, but the reactions of his Family Members (at least the one on MSNBC) and the treatment of the Democratic Party of his campaign are more reminders of a totalitarian regime than democracy, even the ouster of President Biden by the party elder strategist, godmother Nancy, is a totalitarian coup.

You could however argue the Kennedy Clan has drifted with the Elitist Democrats to the cliffs of totalitarian powers and most likely would not get approval from both Kennedy assassinated on their political view, and Robert is probably very proud of Jr. to take the fight. It is called democracy, and what is wrong with politicians having an opinion and not a rule book or indoctrinated notebooks read out aloud from the prompter.

Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, just on another level prepping someone, I’m sure they would know how to cover, but Trump is alive, and we leave the rest to the FBI and CIA, they will be as forthcoming as with the Hunter Laptop.

As there are some 60 days left to the Presidential election, the DNC in Chicago has us made belief that they had it all wrong under Biden and no will do it all right, quasi a mix of Reagan and JFK politics, all in the rescue of the Family and the Middle class. Interestingly if you believe the polls, 50% of Americans are suffering a high case of herd mentality , otherwise how do you explain that with no specifics on economy, foreign policy or the border, a teleprompter AI driven optimized word salad to drive the polls is a guarantee, only if free abortion is your religion and the hate of logic fuels your dreams, at least until election day, rinse and repeat?

It goes under the chapter with the META ethical – moral – relativists ; they are running their own value system, only tuned to the values of the me, and the Elites. Sounds like everyone a trophy, for killers included, how would you otherwise define defund the police, or house people coming to the US with no Visa nor any amnesty request and top it with free health care, and call it democracy not asking the people who pay the bills. Do you know of someone trying to enter the US through customs with an expired VISA, good luck.

Meta-ethical moral relativists believe not only that people disagree about moral issues, but that terms such as "good", "bad", "right" and "wrong" do not stand subject to universal truth conditions at all; rather, they are relative to the traditions, convictions, or practices of an individual or a group of people. ^[6] The American anthropologist William Graham Sumner was an influential advocate of this view. He argues in his 1906 work Folkways that what people consider right and wrong is shaped entirely—not primarily—by the traditions, customs, and practices of their culture. Moreover, since in his analysis of human understanding there cannot be any higher moral standard than that provided by the local morals of a culture, no trans-cultural judgment about the rightness or wrongness of a culture's morals could possibly be justified. citation needed

Meta-ethical relativists are, first, descriptive relativists: they believe that, given the same set of facts, some societies or individuals will have a fundamental disagreement about what a person ought to do or prefer (based on societal or individual norms ). What’s more, they argue that one cannot adjudicate these disagreements using any available independent standard of evaluation—any appeal to a relevant standard would always be merely personal or at best societal. citation needed

If you add this all up, two thoughts come to mind, one the nomination process of the democratic party and the powers, and the delusion people have about Trumps is a liar?

One can argue the US political system and the media are fueling the narrative that millionaires and billionaires must have been all great people, (otherwise they would not be rich) and thus we are aligned with them, and their narrative or the way they get rich plays into their hands, unless your base is Harley Davidsons or Beer drinkers, you may want to be silent? But for the real manipulators and ideologically fueled powers, Universities and the Government , people really are just people, or weirdo’ or deplorables, and one more time they want change, real Marxism?

(Note – the interesting part here, for CNN they are all right – wing, but that 98% bend to the 2% with some outrages demands, that is mainstream) and at the same time they rule out any thoughts about a deep state with a majority donating to one party. DEI in color, gender but totalitarian in ideology.

Check out here the type and behaviors of Liars. For some the accusation of a hooker, or a department store worker, does it, for others a business person using the law and common practice are all based in lies, what about the border is closed but millions pour in, democracy but a one party rule, inflation was caused by the former President, and a rule outlawing abortion after say 12 weeks is an infringement into freedom? Perhaps for the Governor of Minnesota, fueling the Summer of love is freedom, wonder if it works the other way around as well. Don’t think that is part of a McDonalds curriculum.

Pathological liars lie as a response to any stimuli. These people are excellent liars because they lie constantly and make up stories so unnecessarily and often that it becomes extremely difficult to distinguish the truth from mendacity. Unlike the compulsive liar, pathological liars are near impossible to catch in the act of prevarication. Pathological lying is also known as pseudologia fantastica.

One of the leading Teacher in this country is all about ideology , rather than teaching kids . How a person of her views and almost violent doctrine is elected and given a platform does not necessarily support the thought of public schools nor a betterment of the educational system, it is again ideological thinking over performance. And what about paying Teachers a reasonable (what is it) salary, running politics are better arguments. Are they really underpaid and overworked, 53 hours a week, or do you think it is a WOKE mentality? Voting is not only about abortion, some may want to live and get their kids a future, a prospective one.

“Teachers work longer hours, earn lower salaries , and report higher levels of job-related stress than other working adults.”

But are they really underpaid , compared to average incomes by state, and are the highest paid also the ones producing results, or best compliers with Ms. Weingarten Covid policy? And the Surgeon General points to the mental health of parents, perhaps he fixes the problem at the top first?

Across the U.S., the average math score for fourth-graders fell 5 points since 2019, while the score for eighth-graders dropped 8 points. In reading, average scores for both grades fell 3 points.

In addition, the shares of students below the “basic” level – the lowest level of academic achievement – grew. In math, one-quarter of fourth-graders were below the basic level in 2022 and 38% of eighth-graders were below the NAEP basic level. In reading, the percentage of students below the NAEP basic increased by 3 percentage points in both grades.

The lawfare party, against free speech, Robert Kennedy Jr., Elon Musk and Trump the trifecta for free speech – and the arch enemies of the democratic party. With the EU and Brazil threatening X, as well as the US defining Trumps words as “hate” they had better look at the speeches from their now dethroned leader Joe Biden, who placated people as Fascist and other terms, obviously not hate but matter of fact, delusional facts. Perhaps a definition of hate speech and provocative terms seems appropriate, also in an ideological world.

A recent survey from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education found that a majority of Americans (57%) correctly recognize that the First Amendment protects hate speech from governmental regulation, punishment, or censorship — but 45% think that it should not be protected.

Economic plan or election interference, first time home buyers $25,000.00, first time parents $6,000.00, student loan forgiveness, free housing for immigrants, EV and Infrastructure incentives to blue and toss up states? Here are just a few examples.

Inflation is only caused by Government policies, so we are curing Inflation with Government actions, and blaming policies that worked at lowering inflation. Another lie?

Here some Moral justifications, housing , and the others . Here is what you had from 2016 to 2020 , note the line is missing where the pandemic started / ended and when Joe Biden entered the picture. Most improved, the poverty rate? The hourly earning as a mix is a mixed bag, and the average perhaps misleading, your lawyer may make more , but the commoners are still about the same. And here is the economic team guiding Kamala Harris, Venture Capital / Hedge Funds, Hollywood and Elitists, all in to give the common people their money back, printed?

Why are we implementing no-realized capital gains, but not the Hedge Funds? Another Kamala Harris protection act? The Hedge Fund Bonanza and why are the democrats not taxing it , would be easy money but perhaps the political machine wins ?

Private equity and hedge funds accounted for over $625 million in political spending during the cycle leading up to the 2020 election, with the lion’s share going to campaign contributions, according to new research .

It was the most this segment of the financial industry spent on lobbying and campaign contributions in a two-year election cycle, according to a study from Americans for Financial Reform that was first reviewed by CNBC. During the 2015-16 cycle, the amount was just over $500 million, the organization said.

The study doesn’t include a breakdown of party affiliation or which candidates received the most money. AFR told CNBC that it hopes to craft that data set.

Democrats in Congress are aiming to ramp up regulations on these sectors. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., was among a group of Democratic lawmakers who recently reintroduced the Stop Wall Street Looting Act, which seeks to end the carried interest loophole that private equity firms have taken advantage of for years. The legislation also takes aim at firms’ transparency regarding fees and returns, among other information.

Nothing to see here, it is just Business as usual , money well spent and Sorority has its price. And Kamala Harris approved the message? And to rescue the EV production, executive orders support democracy .

And in the hope to convert Michigan blue , more money to compete against Tesla, overcapacity leads to lower prices, and bankruptcies, but what is economy, soon to be Kamalaomics, sounds more like a cartoon? We certainly will have plenty of Batteries, but that is no longer Joe Bidens spent money?

“Michigan is using these funds to build a more resilient and climate friendly future. But in 2023 Michigan led clean energy job creation in the nation, fueled by a number of congressional districts, including this one [Michigan’s 7th Congressional District],” Repko said.

In addition to $23 million in federal dollars for the state to enhance Michigan’s EV charging options, GM’s Lansing Grand River Assembly has also received $500 million from the U.S. Department of Energy to convert the plant for EV production, Repko noted.
