A GREAT PRESIDENT

The People See a New Donald Trump Emerging

President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus crisis has displayed a positive side of him that many had not acknowledged before, political commentator Dick Morris said Sunday.
Mr. Morris said that “people are seeing a Donald Trump they have not seen before” and argued that “he does not act like Trump usually does. He does not take shots at people. He does not set up polarizing debates. He had not hogged the stage. He listens to his experts, clearly.“
Mr. Morris, who was a political advisor to President Clinton before returning to the Republican Party in Y 2011, said this has created “a big change in the way the voters view” the President and has served as “an amazing boost to Donald Trump’s electability.”
Mr. Morris predicted that if the worst-case scenario does not develop and instead the virus fades by May and the economy bounces back, it “will produce the biggest presidential victory in modern times” for President Trump.
He contended that “the Presidency forces people to grow. I believe Trump has grown new abilities and new talents and, frankly, new wisdom.”
He said this contrasts sharply to the “disappearance” of likely Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Mr. Morris said President Trump and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo “have literally sucked up all the oxygen in the room. It’s so interesting to see the disappearance of Joe Biden, and, frankly, the disappearance of the Democratic candidates for the President.”
Mr. Morris said, “that there is no way that Biden can be defeated at the Democratic convention or that Cuomo can mount a challenge. Legally, the delegates that have been selected are bound to Biden and have to vote for him as long as he wants them to vote for him.”
Making and Keeping America Great!

Trump couple: What's wrong with Making America Great?

LAPEL — Driving past the home of John and Kathy Cates, motorists can’t miss the signs supporting President Donald Trump for re-election.
Inside their home, two pictures of the Republican president sit on a desk and additional yard signs wait to be distributed to local Trump supporters.
John, 69, is a retired truck driver. His wife works part-time at the Ruoff Music Center and Dollar General.
Kathy has been a supporter of Trump from the start, but John initially liked Marco Rubio.
“I made him go down to a (Trump) rally with me in Indianapolis, which was the first one in Indiana,” Kathy said. “He knew (then) it was a movement and not just a rally.”
John said he originally liked Rubio because he was young and seemed to have plenty of energy.
Both believe Trump has done a good job as president.
“I liked him because everyone seemed to be upset with the way he talked,” Kathy said. “I thought he was showing exactly the way he thought and wasn’t hiding anything from the people. I feel like the career politicians lie to us all the time. I don’t think Donald Trump has done that.”
Of the potential Democrats running for president, John said the only candidate he cared for was Tulsi Gabbard. He said Gabbard reminded him of a bantam rooster.
“I like Joe Biden, but he has been around so long they have plenty that they will bring up on him,” John said. “He’s slipping a little.”
Kathy said there is no Democrat she would vote for over Trump.
The couple keep up on political news but are staunch supporters of Trump.
“What’s wrong with making America great?” John asked.
Kathy said Trump is not a politician, he’s a businessman.
Both like Mike Pence as Trump’s running mate, and John indicated that Pence was important on the GOP ticket to draw votes.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Image
Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
