I wonder what percentage of politicians are genuinely concerned with telling the truth? For example the “women’s rights” dressed up mantra that allows/condones killing of a human being. Or as we once heard, you can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig.

Now that you bring that up what is your position on the Alabama law regarding IVF? Is seems that you'd have to support it?

And, Biden?

These were two emails I sent out to various people regarding him.

1)

Listening to Biden speak now I realized that he is easily by far the Democrat I have most detested in my entire lifetime.

Listening to him is like listening to so many of those annoying Republicans.

The Democratic party is a party with zero integrity with no one willing to say that "The Emperor Has No Clothes"!!!!

2)

Each time I hear the chant for Biden, "Four more years!" .... I cannot control myself and as long as they are doing that I am chanting out loud "No more years!".


I am listening to Trump now live. It is always HIGHLY entertaining. Far funnier than any comedian I've ever heard.

But more broadly, maybe this is something the Jehovah's Witnesses do right. They don't participate in politics or even vote, exactly for this reason: they don't want it to compromise their religious witness.

Do you think this conversation even happened? The folks that come to my door have a pretty one-track mind with scripted ways to quickly bring the conversation back on track.
