Thought For the Day
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 41 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
President Trump at Daytona 500, “No matter who wins ‘God, Family, Country’ matters most.”
Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomfeld is a racist, and unlike President Trump, no one has to lie to prove it.
Michael Bloomstein, “If Jesus was a Jew, why did he have a Puerto Rican name?”
That’s OK, he’s running a commercial in our very state where he boasts he’ll shut down the fossil fuel industry. We live in Ohio, where in the south that’s still a big part of the economy. He really seems to have a stellar contempt and lack of concern for entire swaths of the American population.
Yeah, all the political acumen of a stunned yak. I really don’t expect him to know much about politics, but he supposedly is spending endless cash to buy the best political advisors in the business.
Hey Mike, you are being ripped off!
He has bought his own con, that billionaires can buy an election by running enough commercials, regardless of quality.
It’s the information age there Boomer. You just can’t buy a big enough share of the info people are using to make decisions……Also your ads suck, so there’s that.
MB: Grow your own corn!
I can teach him to program: step (1) google “program sting for (whatever you want to do)”; step (2) cut; step (3) paste.
Agriculture takes more information (soil chemistry, weather, plant biology, mechanical equipment, etc.). Can’t blame li’l mike too much – he can’t see over the corn stalks.
How many electoral votes in the corn belt? I wonder.
125
61 from swing states
30 from blue states
34 from red states
Yup. Takes a lot of gray matter to drop a truthy bomb like that.
A BILL TO ABOLISH THE VIRGINIA ELECTORIAL COLLEGE.
Today the Virginia Senate Privileges and Elections Committee will consider HB 177, a bill that would force Virginia into a compact with some of the deepest blue states in the nation to allocate their electoral votes to the presidential candidate with the most popular votes, no matter how Virginians vote!
The National Popular Vote Compact is a backdoor – and illegal — attempt to change the U.S, Constitution without going through the amendment process. The Left knows it is difficult for its candidates to win nationally and hope to snatch the presidency by winning big metropolitan areas and ignore small- and medium-size states
Virginians should decide who wins their own electoral votes, not California and New York, which have joined the compact along with 13 other states. If the NPV goes into effect, voters in those states would effectively cast several ballots – the one for their own state and one for each state in the compact, diluting your vote in Virginia! The winner would have no cause to serve “flyover country” and would cater only to big states and cities. The Electoral College was created by our Founding Fathers to ensure the president would be a consensus choice of a broad cross-section of the country and therefore have a mandate. But the Left wants to ensure a machine driven winner beholden to the Radical Left who dominate the large cities on both coasts. It also opens the door for multiple and splinter parties which, ironically, would guarantee the winning candidate would need much less than 50 percent of the popular vote.
How could Virginia be sure of a state like California properly certifying its popular vote numbers? 2016: 114% more votes were cast than the number of registered voters.
