Not Worth the Argument

It has been a while since I have felt the need to go to my blog and put ink to paper metaphorically-speaking.  Much has happened in the world since my last post.  Much of it has been good, and some of it not-so-much.  Overall, it has been a nice change though that has brought some sense of hope to a majority of Americans, and I dare say to much of the world.

I think the overwhelming election of Donald Trump was the result of leftist overreach with the puppeteering of Joe Biden to push the Overton Window ever leftward in our daily political debates and destructive national policies.

Yes, I voted for Trump this last time.  No, I still do not care for him on a personal level, although he does seem a little more tempered in some of his responses than he likely would have been in his first term.  A little more of that would be welcome in my opinion.

I think most of his ideas, policies, executive orders and legislation signed is precisely what he campaigned upon and what the American electorate voted him into office yet again to actually execute on their behalf.  So far, so good!

Yes, the are certain policies I don’t agree with him on and I think he should reconsider his stance and look at things from a historical or different perspective.  That said, I think about 85% of what he is doing is precisely what the United States needs if we are to survive as a representative republic and a government for and by We The People.

Unfortunately, as of late, I see the rhetoric from all factions, but especially from the far left only intensify in their hatred and desire to burn it all down as long as they can take out the hated Trump in the process.

 I really don’t have the desire to debate much these days, as often times those with a different viewpoint than mine are not in the mood for a charitable and honest discussion in searching for common ground and the truth.  In fact, I can think of only three or four friends that are left of center that would comment on my blog over the many years of my writing that would even fall into that latter category.  Far too many of the other left of center folks (leftists) simply wanted to shout everyone down and expected nothing less than capitulation to their political beliefs.

I simply don’t have the time nor inclination to cross swords with people of that mind set these days.  Simply put, it isn’t worth my energy or time.

I happened to find a quote on the blog of a friend, Rain Truax, that had a quotation that is attributed to Helen Mirren that encapsulates my thoughts wonderfully on the subject.  I thought it worthy of sharing accordingly.

  

“Before you argue with someone, ask yourself, is that person even mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective. Because if not, there's absolutely no point.    

    Not every argument is worth your energy. Sometimes, no matter how clearly you express yourself, the other person isn’t listening to understand—they’re listening to react. They’re stuck in their own perspective, unwilling to consider another viewpoint, and engaging with them only drains you.

    There’s a difference between a healthy discussion and a pointless debate. A conversation with someone who is open-minded, who values growth and understanding, can be enlightening—even if you don’t agree. But trying to reason with someone who refuses to see beyond their own beliefs? That’s like talking to a wall. No matter how much logic or truth you present, they will twist, deflect, or dismiss your words, not because you’re wrong, but because they’re unwilling to see another side.

    Maturity isn’t about who wins an argument—it’s about knowing when an argument isn’t worth having. It’s realizing that your peace is more valuable than proving a point to someone who has already decided they won’t change their mind. Not every battle needs to be fought. Not every person deserves your explanation.

    Sometimes, the strongest thing you can do is walk away—not because you have nothing to say, but because you recognize that some people aren’t ready to listen. And that’s not your burden to carry.”

 

Couldn’t have said it better myself.  Oh, and for some interesting posts, Check out Rain’s blog too!

Kamala Harris - Some Biographical Facts About The "Savior" of Democracy

I find it amazing that Kamala Harris went from the sitting Vice President with one of the deservedly worst voter approval ratings in modern history to the left's "best chance to save democracy" in a matter of a few months after the Trump-Biden debate.  This unaccomplished and dishonest leftist is on the Democrat ticket because the kingmakers in the party could no longer hide the senility of Joe Biden.  Who better to continue as an easily-controllable figure-head in the oval office than Kamala?  

She has no concrete plans or ideas to fix the mess that her and Joe Biden created, and the few ideas she has put forth are just typical leftist give-aways to entice the indoctrinated to vote for her for more "free stuff".  Oh, and she will do whatever is necessary to ensconce the "right" to kill unborn children on the altar of "choice".  

Below are just a few biographical facts about Kamala Harris, which can be easily verified from any truthful and objective source.  In other words, don't go to CNN.  Do your own research and see.

1. Kamala Harris is the offspring of two foreign-born college professors, and they provided Kamala a prosperous childhood (not struggling middle class from Oakland!) ensconced amidst the Ivory Towers of academia in Montreal and Berkeley..

2. Kamala Harris’ mother comes from the Indian Brahmin caste, which sits atop India’s horrifically backward and oppressive caste system. Her father comes from a family of wealthy Jamaican slave plantation owners.

3. Kamala Harris’ father was an influential Marxist economist.

4. Kamala Harris spent her formative teen-age years living in Montreal, Canada. At no time in her formative years did Harris ever live what is customarily referred to as “The African-American Experience”; or, for that matter, the American working class experience.

5. Kamala Harris failed the California bar exam.

6. Kamala Harris rose to political prominence in California thanks to the support of a much older, married and influential Democrat pol, Willie Brown, with whom she was having sex while he advanced her career.

7. As California’s Attorney General, Kamala Harris knowingly engaged in numerous unfair and unethical legal practices that wrongfully denied many, many unjustly-incarcerated black men their freedom and liberty.

8. As a Senator from California, Kamala Harris was ranked by many non-partisan political analysts as the most extreme Leftist in the Senate.

9. Running as a Democrat Presidential candidate in 2020, while being incredibly well-funded, Kamala Harris nevertheless polled at the bottom of all major candidates and was one of the very first to withdraw. This was widely perceived to be a function of her unlikeability and her inability to offer cogent campaign positions of substance.

10. Joe Biden explicitly stated that he hired Harris BECAUSE she is a black woman. Thus, it is entirely fair to label her a “DEI hire.”

 
11. Kamala Harris as Vice President has had an unusually high staff turnover rate exceeding 90%.

12. The media is extremely hard-pressed to recount a single accomplishment of Harris as VP. Quite the opposite, they have white-washed her title as “Border Czar” as she failed to do anything to stop an open border allowing in 10 -12 million illegals, including known terrorists, cartels, thousands of criminals, drug and sex traffickers and the Chinese-made fentanyl that has killed a quarter of a million American citizens. 

13. Prior to becoming the Presidential candidate, Kamala Harris had the lowest VP approval ratings of any VP since Spiro Agnew.

14. Kamala Harris knew that Joe Biden had dementia, and lied to us for 3 1/2 years, covering up his mental incompetency.

15. Kamala Harris, along with Barack Obama and other Democrat luminaries, engaged in some form of extortion to force Joe Biden to step aside as the Democrat Presidential nominee in 2024, so she could assume that mantle herself. 

16. Kamala Harris never received a single primary vote in favor of the presidential candidacy she seized from Joe Biden. So much for "saving democracy"!

17. As the Presidential candidate, Kamala Harris was spurned by most of the Democrat party luminaries to be her VP candidate, and instead she settled for Tim Walz, an extreme leftist who has passed laws in Minnesota allowing for abortion up until birth and making Minnesota a "sanctuary city" for minors who opt for chemical castration or permanent life altering physical surgery; even without their parents permission.  Even most of Walz's own family are supporting Trump in November.

18. Kamala Harris has been the Democrat Presidential candidate for only a few months, and her only two policy prescriptions are communist style price controls and promising an illegal $25,000 government gift for first time home buyers. 

19. Kamala Harris has never worked in a private business in her adult life.

20. Kamala Harris has stated that she "hasn't changed her values" and we should believe her as she has a more than 20 year video record of being for the following: no border, abolishing ICE, government paid health insurance for illegals, gun confiscation, no bail policies, defunding the police, abolishing private health insurance, unlimited abortion and chemical castration and/or physical mutilation of minors in the name of "gender affirmation".

 

 Again, the fact that this is even a close race is a damning indictment on the propaganda and indoctrination of our students and citizenry to even believe that the best option for their vote is the very person that helped create the economic mire and chaos and global instability that we are currently experiencing.  All hyperbole aside, I have serious doubts as to whether the American nation will survive four more years of a Harris administration that has demonstrably proven they despise the constitution when it doesn't serve their purposes, promote hyper-leftist/socialist policies, and have no respect for the citizens of the U.S.A.  They champion illegal immigrants over citizens, appease anti-Semitic pro-Palestinian terrorist sympathizers, and endanger allies such as Israel with their asinine and dangerous foreign policies.  They have strengthened terrorist regimes such as Iran and China, while giving billions of unaccountable dollars to Ukraine.  

 

The choice is clear to anyone that cares to objectively look at the facts and put the rhetoric, propaganda, and personal dislikes aside.  Trump is personally objectionable to me on many fronts.  Kamala Harris is outright dangerous to the stability and prosperity of our nation and I dare say globally.  Choose wisely November 5th.  The ramifications of who wins the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives cannot be understated.

A Time to Choose Again

Things have been very busy and I have had little time to write in recent months, despite the lunacy of the left offering great fodder for subject matter. So much has happened, including the attempted assassination of Trump by a leftist stooge.  Then there was the "saving of democracy" by Biden being forced to step down when it became apparent he was not able to win against Trump, and therefore had to "pass the torch" to a candidate that was not elected by the people in the Democrat party to be their candidate.  And now lately we have the hide-and-seek game Kamala is playing with reporters for a real sit-down interview since "becoming the Democrat candidate for president".  Hey, hiding out in the basement and not having to explain his ideas and proposed policies worked for Joe!

The sad thing is that Biden had an excuse for his mental degradation and the fact that he has been wrong on every significant foreign policy decision in his career.  One wonders what that reason is for Kamala as she seems genetically incapable of putting together a coherent thought to explain her positions and how she hopes to achieve her goals.  "Vote for me and I'll fix all of these problems."  News flash Kamala; you are in office right now and can start by fixing these problems that you and your senile president created this very day!

As I have said repeatedly, I do not like Trump and do not think he is a particularly moral or good man.  That said, I have seen how Trump governs and how strong America became under his leadership.  I then saw the economic collapse, energy dependence, inflation, border insecurity, national insecurity, and the coddling of terrorists under the Biden/Harris administration.  Kamala has stated how she is "proud" of their accomplishments, and as Presidential Press Secretary/apologist Karine Jean-Pierre said recently, there is "no daylight" between Harris and Biden on policies. No doubt!  If anything, Harris would be even more of a leftist radical.  There was a reason why she was the first Democrat to drop out of the presidential race in 2016.  Nobody liked her, including during her tenure as VP as she had the lowest VP approval ratings ever, even among Democrats.  It is fascinating how everyone on the left is now in love with her, as the saving hope against Trump.

That being said, in November we can vote for Trump and go back to a much stronger and safer America, or we can vote for the anointed cackler and watch the complete ruination of what is left of our nation.  The fact that this is even remotely a contest horrifies me. The level of ignorance of way too many Americans is astounding.  Evidently there are millions of people that either want free stuff, wokeism, or hate Trump far more than they love their country.  I know it has become a cliche', but this election really will be what determines whether we will survive as a free nation as our founding fathers' envisioned, or we become just one more socialist wasteland on the globe.
