“I saw this gentleman, Tim, in Boston's Logan airport with the sister he'd been visiting. It appeared he was both deaf and blind, as I observed her signing into his hand for him to feel her words. When he came aboard the plane he had been assigned the middle seat of my ro…

This madman, Thiel, Musk, Vance, Bezos….. the whole damn lot of them. Lock them away somewhere safe (El Salvador?) and let the rest of us try to repair the damage they are doing.

A very good article about something that I think is a real threat (among others).

Yep, don't worry about being unpopular. Worry when you are popular. The broad road leads to destruction.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

When watching the experiment, you might think, “So what if they follow?” But that’s exactly what the majority of people do daily without realizing the cost. They follow trends, social norms, and popular behavior, even when it slowly poisons their mind…

Believe all women! Senators Hirono, Gillibrand, and Duckworth were so brave to take down predator Pete. Female government workers like me will also resist Trump's MAGA Christofascism: democracydefender2025.s…

''This is the problem though: If Donald Trump is the standard by which everybody else is judged, by definition nobody can be unqualified. The standards have been set so low that the bar currently resides at the molten core of the earth.''

Some folks would call that hell. I would tend to agree.

He needs his kind around him. And anyone who dares think they are better - Joni Ernst, defender of warrior women who have been sexually assaulted- will cower in fear and relinquish any dignity they ever had.

He broke her.

Swear to god - how does she (and others like her) sleep at night?

I think she really is afraid. She showed her reluctance in December and was worked over.

I have been put in some tough spots in my career and my response was to continue to do what's right even if I lost my job, but everyone is not built the same.

Broken manifests itself differently for each and every one of us. I'm disappointed in her, but I pity her as well.

I was always awed by the immensity of the next task placed before me. Yes even afraid. But it made me always go back to the basics of what I know how to do in my sleep. Apply the Scientific process, come up with alternatives for action, see who wants to play which alternative, form the team and go at it without holding back. Make sure you have the best team possible. Don't give a inch, unless it's part of the plan. In Battle, yes there are many forms of battle during implementation. In Battle r…

That's the thing; he is too arrogant to be afraid. He is vulnerable to suggestion by those with a separate agenda without the critical thinking skills to be able to decide whether what he's being told is true or not. If he doesn't read his briefings, how is he informed enough to make important decisions? I doubt anyone would have voted for him if they knew about his lack of regard for the immense amount of responsibility his position implies. If he were a Democrat, they would skewer him worse t…

And that is his biggest weakness, and our biggest Challenge. I grew up having to deal with bullies. I learned quickly, after being pounded into the ground a few times. When I learned that they are not afraid, I changed my approach.

Higgins's avatar

That "pounding into the ground" your so familiar with? Did you have a reoccurrence of that feeling on Nov 5 2024? A flashback?

bruce klassen's avatar

No Dennis, I didn't. I never really had that feeling again after that phase of my childhood. I had/have found another way to deal with bullies. But I did feel some confusion and stress. Are so many of my country persons so hurt and aggrieved that they have checked out of, what I consider, reality?

What did you feel or think?

Higgins's avatar

Complete and total exhilaration!

Yes I believe you are correct that many people are not in touch with reality. I’m speaking of many people on the left and several RINOs on the right. We have a mandate. 77 million people are on the correct side of this. Look no further than the delusional democrat senators that have lost total touch with reality. Look no further than anyone that believes that Biden is not cognitively declined. Look at his speech last night where he chastised anybody that doesn’t …

Ah yes, there you go. I thought so when I saw "Patriot" and Arizona in your profile. My daughter espouses the same positions you do. So why are you on this Comment site? Peeking in next door? Naughty naughty.😆

I do hope you read my Blog below as carefully as I read yours. We seem to share a common disdain of what has been going on in Washington for too long. They get great healthcare, big salaries, so many privileges, while the rest of us have/had to work our asses off just to keep our noses ab…

Bruce,

I’ll take this a paragraph at a time, easier for me, hopefully better for you.

Your first 2 paragraphs:

Paragraph 1

“Ah yes, there you go. I thought so when I saw "Patriot" and Arizona in your profile. My daughter espouses the same positions you do. So why are you on this Comment site? Peeking in next door? Naughty naughty.😆”

Paragraph 2

" but I’m 67 yrs old. So it sounds like me and her have a lot in common. You say that as if we are beneath you. Is that true?"

She is 39 with two kids and a hubby in SoCal. NOT AT ALL, I don't think that you or she are beneath me. You simply have a completely different (never beneath) ethical framework. Do I like what she says as MAGA? No, but there are many similarities, and she is the best Mom in most aspects (I don't like the bubble she keeps my grandchildren in). I am dedicated to and try to follow Jesus, therefore I dare not judge lest I be judged. ...and with me judgement would be a long affair and not pretty. So, now to read.
