America's Short-Term Memory Problem

Most people old enough to vote in the upcoming election can remember what things were like when Donald Trump was President from 2016 to 2020. In case you are one of those who suffer from Alzheimer's, either back then or right now, I'm so sorry and you are excused. But the rest of you should be able to recall quite easily that things in America, and the world for that matter, were a lot better under Trump. 

I won't run down the list of how things were better since Trump and his vocal proponents do that just about every day. But apparently to no avail, since every last Democrat insists things were terrible during his years in office. And according to a recent poll, more than half of them think the country would be better off without him alive. (Hence the second attempt on his life earlier this week.) This blanket avoidance of reality is pure rubbish. Still, it's all they've got since the truth hurts.

Every time I see a house with Harris/Walz sign out front, I literally experience a wave of compassion for the people who live there. Either the occupants suffer from dementia or they are simply not sharp enough to notice the wool that's been pulled over their eyes by the likes of Anderson Cooper, Whoopie Goldberg, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times and the whole late-night crew of washed-up comedians. 

Surely nobody can be so dense as to believe that Kamala Harris is equipped to control our country's future, even though she grew up in a middle-class neighborhood where people cared about their lawns and her mother held two jobs and she's prosecuted criminals and her step-kids call her "Momala" and she loves yellow school buses. That's all good stuff, but it's just not enough.

Most important but hardly discussed, Harris chants that it's time to "turn the page." But hey, she's on the very page she wants to turn! What about that?

Just for fun, since they didn't hire me 15 years ago when I was a lot younger and thus more attractive and not as cynical, I applied to ...
