Just a Thought

The thought below is my thought alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com. 

[[[ As expected, President Trump is now blaming the current US stock market plunge on the Democrats wiping out the Republicans in Tuesday's midterm election. I, however, blame Trump himself for causing both the Republican wipeout and the current stock market plunge by his turning this election into a not only self perceived love-fest of himself, but one coupled with both his total mismanagement of the Iran War, and his NOT successfully following through on any of his economic promises made...thus proving once again that the "pocketbook" is indeed mightier than the sword. 

 

In this election the Democrats did not have to cheat...Trump's blunders gave them all the ammunition they needed. My thought and I stand by it. ]]]

Democrats Are About to Throw Out the Electoral College Without Touching the Constitution

Larry O'Connor / Townhall Tipsheet  

Well, congratulations. They won. And now that they've secured control of several critical state governments, they have an opportunity to deliver on those promises.

But don't look now. Democrats may have something else in mind.

How about fundamentally changing the way we elect the president of the United States?

No constitutional amendment. No two-thirds vote in Congress. No ratification by three-fourths of the states. And certainly no meaningful national debate about whether Americans actually want to abandon the presidential election system we've used for more than two centuries.

They may be able to accomplish the whole thing with a handful of votes in several newly Democratic state legislatures.

And thanks to Tuesday's election results, they're closer than ever.

The Electoral College Is Just 48 Votes Away From Becoming Irrelevant. Read more here.

Just a Thought

.The thoughts below is my thoughts alone, and do not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com.

[[[ I received an e-mail earlier today from President Trump...via his Trump National Committee JFC...asking me for a "continuing donation" to help him, and I quote, "𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐀 𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐀 over the next two years." 

 

Is he and his people freakin' kidding me...this man's ego knows no bounds as he still cannot accept as fact that he was the very reason why we Republicans lost it all! on Tuesday.

 

I would NOT send him or his Israel-hating...and in my opinion...antisemitic VP JD Vance, even one penny after Tuesday's humiliating rejection of all things Trump! In fact, my great Florida Governor Ron DeSantis... whose state he, DeSantis, helped keep "red," said this defeat is so bad that, “Let’s just be clear, that it is going to hurt - not just for the next two years, but that it is something that can reverberate for the next decade or more."

 

So I have an idea for our president...bankroll your own damn "trying to save face" campaign, you've got the personal monies to do it...or maybe not as thanks also to you and your making this midterm all about yourself, we see the "stock market" today red-lining straight thumbs down...something else we can thank you for. 

 

2028 cannot come fast enough especially if this time we pick our candidates based upon merit, and not based upon silly name-calling for ratings theatrics! I and others tried to warn people about Trump not being he right man for the job...maybe next time...if we even get to have a next time...they'll listen. ]]]

Trump says he has ‘every intention’ of keeping Pete Hegseth as pressure grows to oust War Secretary

Ryan King / NEW YORK POST 

WASHINGTON — President Trump insisted Thursday that he has “every intention” of retaining Secretary of War Pete Hegseth as pressure grows to make the Pentagon chief the scapegoat for Tuesday’s sweeping Democratic victories in the midterm elections.

“I have every intention to keep him,” Trump told ABC News anchor Jonathan Karl. “I get these calls, you know, about him. I don’t understand why.”

Hegseth has faced an avalanche of criticism over his handling of the war in Iran, for which he has been a strong advocate and for which top administration figures like Vice President JD Vance have blamed Democrats racking up wins in House and Senate races across the country.

Several Republicans, such as retiring Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, have nudged Trump to sack Hegseth and replace him while Republicans still have a Senate majority.

"Just a Few Thoughts" on Yesterday's Disastrous Midterm Election

The thoughts below is my thoughts alone, and do not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com  

[[[ As I reflect back to what was yesterdays Republican "political bloodbath," these five key points come to mind.   

 

First: We Republicans now having officially lost both the House and the Senate really need to "grow a set" and start taking responsibility for our actions, while "getting off our knees" if we are to have any chance of winning the presidency in 2028...and that includes NO JD Vance on the ticket.

   

Second: Trump and his misplaced crew of advisors crew of advisors wanted to make the midterm election all about him…he did the rallies…he was constantly on TV…he thought his overinflated theatrical ego could help convince people to vote Republican. He failed miserably what with his misplaced "I, I, I, it's all about me" crude and unpolished persona; his lack of any true oratory skills; his overall self-perceived "I'm smarter than you demeanor;" his promises made NOT kept regarding both the economy and the Iran War; that actually caused Republicans to lose it all!!

 

And I couldn’t wait to hear his excuses for this absolutely horrendous loss…as I knew he'd find a way to blame said loss on everyone but himself, which as expected he did.

 

Third: We know Reagan inherited a bad economy from Jimmy Carter and yet he was able to turn things around. Trump inherited a bad economy from Joe Biden nobody is denying that, but what Trump did with his misguided overinflated tariffs and turning the Iran war away from Iran’s nuclear ambitions to a war over control of Hormuz and oil forced the voters pocketbooks to do their voting for them. Sad fact indeed.

 

Fourth: Another loser last night that people seem to have forgotten about is the Supreme Court, as the Democrats will either stack the court to put more Democrat members on it or we might actually see some Republican justices retiring thus leaving their seats open, but that no matter who Trump nominates they will be turned down. 

 

Many folks did not stop to think about all the possible ramifications of the Democrats gaining what is absolute power before they cast their votes. And remember, Trump‘s promise to "veto" all that Democrats propose can only go so far because it now looks like it’s even possible that Democrats can  reach the 60 votes needed to negative any of Trump's vetoes. 

Fifth: Here's another thing few folks think about, but it does affect a great number of savvy people...as in yesterday's "stock market" having gone through the proverbial roof.

Why so...because now "the market" finally has their own version of a must needed system of "checks and balances" in place in that one party is now decidedly in control government wise as "the market" tends not to respond well to war, and has been no fan of Trump's ad-nauseam, "one day we’re doing this, the next day we’re doing that" scenario in reegards to the still ongoing war with Iran. In fact, the market in general does not see Trump as making rational, tangible, or reality based decisions in regards to what's happening on the all important international stage.

And Trump himself, via his in-actions, has literally made "the market" quite "unstable." And now with his loss of total governmental control, Trump's aforementioned "veto power" can only go so far to help "the market" respond positively to the election decision made on Tuesday night especially now with the totality and finality of that decision having already helped to stabilize” the market."

How so...by what's called a "clarity of projections" coupled with governing decisions finally having to be made one way or the other, thus resulting in what the "stock market" views as a so called "cleansing event" for both investors and speculators.

And now, at least for some lucky investors, a modicum of good has come out of what was a totally unexpected "Blue Wave" scenario...a scenario resulting in a full-out Republican political disaster...a disaster so great it could well be one for the history books. Enough said, case closed. ]]]

JD Vance blames Iran war and Israel for GOP midterm bloodbath

Ryan King / NEW YORK POST

WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance blamed the war in Iran for Tuesday’s GOP electoral bloodbath, a sharp departure from his own remarks about the conflict and the closest Vance has come to criticizing President Trump as his second-in-command.

Vance, believed to be the top contender for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, decried the GOP “establishment” and nudged Republicans to reconsider their support of Israel in his first public midterm post-mortem.

“In the next few months, there’s going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty,” Vance posted on X.

“But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you. The reason we lost is the war,” he added. “The president himself said so last night. If you’d like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so.” Read more, see Xx, and photos here.
