Yeah, the educational part has been a bitch. I was more interested in the natural world than politics, but was dragged kicking and screaming into it by Trump and the schemes and backlashes surrounding him. Like many, I was force fed to acknowledge the 'elite' horrors. I have a collection of books now I never would have otherwise paid attention to.

I had explored some conspiracy theories when I felt like it but that was about it. I was not prepared for the level of monumental deception and the ouija control grids.

Strange thing is, I have come somewhat full circle with woo about theories of life, psychology, sociology and perception as a result aka back to a different perspective on the natural world that I would not have otherwise discovered.

Eight years ago I couldn’t imagine that I would ever vote for Trump. Four years ago I considered it, but opted against, voting third party instead. This year I am voting for Trump.

There are many Americans who have followed a similar path.

Last week’s DarkHorse made a case for Trump. But I am still met with dismay and disbelief by some family and friends. Increasingly, what I hear is this:

“I understand that you can’t possibly vote for Kamala. But what are the reasons to vote for Trump?”

Here is one set of answers.

Trump is not owned.

Trump is not the nominee for the Republican Party of old, just as Kamala is not the nominee for the Democratic Party of old. ... Traditional power is scared, and it is concentrating in the modern Democratic party.

Trump doesn’t answer to the power brokers of either party. He is his own man, and he is WYSIWYG—What You See Is What You Get. This is part of what people don’t like about him—they don’t like his tone or his humor, his meandering or his jibes. I understand. I didn’t like any of that either, although I got over it. You know what he never is? Insincere. He is human, and he is willing to show us his humanness. I far prefer a president who is comfortable enough with himself to reveal that self to the American people, than someone who is always hiding behind prepared words and fictions.

Trump is taking counsel from truth-speaking patriots.

Among these is Bobby Kennedy, Jr, who was my preferred candidate for president. Kennedy left the race in August, and endorsed Trump. More important than that, Trump has embraced Kennedy, and we are told that Kennedy will be empowered in a Trump administration.

Kennedy sees the death grip that Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Ag have on the American people, and he has the capacity to address those problems. We have become a sick, out of shape, and confused people. ... Do not listen to the FDA, the USDA, or the CDC. Instead, eat animal proteins and fats, and produce that has been grown with as little chemical intervention as possible, savoring every single bit. And then do what is free and feels good. Go outside and face the sun. Walk. Form relationships. Touch people, and also grass and water and soil. Be barefoot under a night sky.

The FDA was supposed to oversee the safety of our food and our drugs; instead, they are in bed with big pharma. The CDC was supposed to help us stay healthy and avoid disease; instead, they too are in bed with big pharma, and run by useful idiots. The NIH and NSF are supposed to be overseeing the funding of science; instead they, too, are in bed with big pharma (note a trend?), and also so bolloxed up that they don’t know science when it hits them in the head. They are funding politicized garbage which often doesn’t meet the basic expectations of science. Covid revealed the rot in medical and pharmaceutical research, but the rot is everywhere. Politically popular answers are generated by power brokers behind the scenes, and then research is funded and conducted to arrive at those answers. This “science” is conclusion driven, rather than hypothesis driven, and is therefore not science at all. Actual science that arrives at different answers—atmospheric Carbon is not the only thing responsible for our changing planet; puberty blockers are not safe for children—is disappeared.

It is also true that, in the final year of his first term, as Covid became the thing that we were all focused on, Trump halted funding to the World Health Organization1. At the time, I thought this was yet another randomly batshit move of his. I was wrong. During Covid, the WHO revealed itself as an extra-governmental agency that seeks authority over people which nobody should have, ever. The United States should not be part of the WHO. Trump was right.

We need science back, real science, not feel good solutions that don’t help anyone. The Democrats think they are the party of science, but they are not. Trump, with Kennedy and his other advisors, will steer us in the right direction.

I have prepared my tax returns my entire life.
I prepared a couple for my father too.
If you are a complete idiot, you vote for asshole socialist democrats who want to raise your taxes.
I'll vote for the devil himself before I vote to fuck myself with higher taxes.
Women generally have no clue about such issues so that is a problem because they vote.
If Trump wins, I'm throwing a small party which may have a small attendance.
That's okay, I hate parties.

Rogan endorsed Trump tonight.

Rogan endorsed Trump tonight.

Do you think that will sway anyone? Especially this late? I hope so.

It was known for a while he would endorse. So probably doesn't move the needle. Kamala not going on Rogan was the bigger blow and Biden saying Trump supporters were trash was substantially worse for the Harris campaign.

Kill Tony, a comedian talking about Puerto Rico is a huge nothing burger. Puerto Ricans know their country is run like shit. Chicago has the largest Puerto Rican population in the Country so I knew/know quite a few. So what does that move? IL/Cook County is solid blue. Oh no.... you lost the Puerto Rican vote in Chicago.

One of my favorite history classes in college. Puerto Rican History. They have pride for their country, but know it's a shit show and has been for 100 years plus.
