So the CBS morning show is now doing a piece on election integrity and issues with the fact that there has been high turnover of election officials that might (maybe, possibly) result in “errors” in ballot counting and ballot integrity.

This just cannot be: We were told last election cycle that there was no issues, in any way as regards the elections. That the systems were in place to ensure that ballot integrity was perfect, that the counts were perfect, and that there was not, and never had been, any issues. That we, as the voters, could count on the votes as sacrosanct and 100% perfect.

Until of course, it looks like the Dems might be losing, then things changed, funny that.

So a bunch of friends and myself were gonna go into Chicago and see some of the museums yesterday. The plan was to meet up at one of the train stations and take the train into the city. $7 each way and no parking hassles and all that. (If Miegs Field (KCGX) was available we’d have used that, but that airport no longer exists, destroyed in the name of egalitarianism so that the city can have parkland that no one but drug dealers and trolling gay men uses). Plus we weren’t sure how much the nearby construction for the upcoming NASCAR race was gonna affect the traffic in the area. The train station is like 3 blocks from the museums.

Plus being a responsible green citizen and all that. After all, the train is electric. They just spent millions to upgrade the tracks to prevent delays and make it a better, faster experience.

But it wasn’t.

The train was well over an hour late, we finally found out via the news that there was a major delay due to an electric outage and they were replacing the electric locomotives with diesels until it was fixed. No plan for how long the delay might be.

Fuckit.

As we were leaving the train platform, the train management finally got around to announcing the delay over the PA system.

Instead we carpooled and drove. Traffic wasn’t bad, parking was a hassle (and expensive!) but we got there. Likely we’d have still been waiting had we taken he train.

But it put us an hour or more behind.

Laving Chicago during Rush Hour was a fun (not) experience. Part of the reason we had planned to take the train was to avid that traffic chaos and delays.

Are we likely to try the train again? I dunno. Probably not. Cars are much more reliable and parking isn’t that big of a deal

Public transportation puts you at the mercy of the (diverse) people running things.

We might try again simply because we all have tickets that are good until September. Might as well use ’em. Not sure if the risk is worth the $7.

Since Joe Biden is obviously not doing the leadership in the oval office….

Who is the man behind the curtain???

And telling.

One of the guys that hangs around the airport works for an FBO….and his side job is managing at a Fireworks Outlet.

He was telling us that their market research tells them that the average customer spends nearly 820 dollars for the Independence Day holiday….And their average customer is on welfare or other government assistance, has 4 children, and gets some form of housing subsidy. They nearly all live below the poverty line.

Yet, oddly, they have enough money for fireworks.

He also said that the year they gave out Covid subsidy checks was the best year ever for the business.

I’m not really surprised, as poverty is a culture. Other than a tattoo, there is no better way to waste your money than fireworks.  It might even be the first best way to waste your money.

All of us “Conspiracy theorists” have been saying that Biden had age related mental issues, and should be forced to take a cognitive test  to check his competency for well over a year. We were insulted, and “Fact Checked” and ignored.

But the Debate proved us right, like most of our “Conspiracy theories”.

What was once a parade celebrating the equality of the gay population has since become a demonstration of the worst part of the gay lifestyle….a bunch of men wagging their junk out in public, and a bunch of others buggering each other in the bushes and alleyways. And the city and the police allow this behavior that they wouldn’t allow at any other time from any other group of people.

Their behavior is enough to turn even the stomachs of people like me, who really doesn’t care what they do as long as they don’t do it in public.

The Gay/Pride community needs to get a grip.

(Putting the question of why haven’t Congress used the 25th Amendment long ago, and where have the RNC types been  regarding Biden’s mental state for all this time?)

No matter if you are a DNC type, an RNC follower, or (and most especially) a member of the press, This should be the question that should be asked over and over and over:

WHO IS LEADING THE COUNTRY?  Who, exactly, is making the decisions? I have had my doubts about Mr. Biden for a while, but the debate shows that they are not unfounded.

Who is doing the job of President? It certainly isn’t Joe Biden. He has shown himself incapable of that. As Special Counsel Robert Hur stated, and everyone (Democrat, Republican and the press) ignored, He is “A Confused and Absent-Minded Old Man”….The Debate showed this to be true.

So who is our President?

(and a  corollary to that: why are all the people in the White House (and, for that matter the House and Senate) allowing whoever is making the decisions and speaking for Joe Biden to continue to act, unelected and un-appointed? Is this not treason?

and possibly even Bud Light…

Customers furious after Tractor Supply’s  upper management’s Woke agenda, promoting DEI and LGBTQ+ agendas got exposed to the light. 

Someone in that company finally got a ticket on the Clue Bus, and decided that they would announce (but we shall see if they actually follow through) that they were ending all the DEI and Pride initiatives in the corporate headquarters…..Not because they think they are a bad thing, but because their core customer base is willing to shop elsewhere, even if it means a longer drive, rather than support a company that supports the Woke agenda. I will believe that Tractor Supply has changed their ways when they fire the President and CEO and the head of HR and all their staff……until then it is just words.

Have you noticed that all of these “Woke” presidents/CEOS/HR gurus all seem to be about the same age, plus or minus a few years? One wonders just exactly what made them all Woke. Was it a teacher, a class, a lecture, what? They all had to have been programmed at nearly the same time, as they are all of similar age

I like this quote:

“LGBTQ+ people live in every zip code in this country, including rural communities,” HRC’s Bloem said in an emailed statement. “We are shoppers, farmers, veterans and agriculture students. Companies from every industry work closely with us to be sure their employees and customers are respected, valued and can get the job done for their workforce and shareholders.”,….Note that the presidents of these companies are willing to anger their core customer base in order to pander to a demographic that overall, is less than 2% of the population….and I would bet that it is much less in rural areas…..I mean, most LGBTQRD+TMSPL people are concentrated in larger cities and towns, rather than spread across the rural landscape. Yet these CEO’s just have to push the Agenda. I just wonder how they got so indoctrinated that they are willing to throw their careers away with such poor decisions in order to push the Woke agenda. Especially these Johhny-come-latelies that have to know what pushing such an agenda will do to their companies and their carreers……and how their customers will react.

Yet they do it anyway. Why?

For the DNC types, and their lapdogs the Media. (But I am repeating myself)

We’ve been told, over and over again, by the DNC spokesweasels and by the CNN/NBCSN/CBS/ABC etc that Biden was fully cognizant and his falling and wandering and such were always explained away with some excuse or another….. But this time the world, the American People, got to see the terrible display of senescence and cognitive decline on full display. They can no longer hide it, and in displaying it, they broke their credibility with yet another segment of the American People,….and that loss of credibility is in the segment of voters they needed to win over.

The question now comes also: Is Joseph R Biden competent to stand as President?  He was adjudged as not competent to stand trial over the Classified Document thing, but that was quickly buried. And now, despite juicing him to the eyeballs for the debate, he fell apart halfway through. His Cognitive Decline is apparent. Who is running the show? Even diehard DNC voters are asking this question today. (I witnessed it myself, a staunch Democrat voter, good Union Man…voted as the Machine told him, questioning things today. He would not have done so yesterday. Still won’t vote for Trump, mind you, but his faith in the Party is shaken….badly. ), He isn’t sure if he can believe what they tell him now, nor the folks at his preferred news outlet, CNN. He isn’t sure what to think now, his world is broken. And he’s rather upset about it.

I doubt he is the only one either.

Since the first debate is over, I have several questions and observations:

Firstly, Trump at least looked lucid. Biden much less so. Trump looked competent, Biden did not. Trump was himself, both good and bad. Biden looked like a pathetic, senile, weak old man who couldn’t keep his thoughts together. Even the Media can’t fail to admit this. They are admitting it this morning.

So who are the DNC folks gonna run instead of him?

Second, Trump, while he acquitted himself well, (or at least better than Biden) still showed his same behavior. Will that be enough to keep the people who dislike him from voting for the man with all his faculties vs the man who is senile but wears the DNC mantle despite his failure to show he is fit for any leadership role?

I do think that Biden showed his inability to be the current president, much less the NEXT president. I think many folks, after watching the debate, are wondering who exactly is at the helm of the country RIGHT NOW

We have, at best, a pair of elderly men. One well past his ability to lead and another likely approaching that stage. Do we really want either of them?

ETA:&:38 AM Central: Gail King, of CBS, just said “We need to take his keys away”. Wow. They actually used the words “Step Down” as regards Joe Biden.

Of course, one wonders if all of this is scripted, and they are trying to sell us someone else,….
