I can’t help but comment on Vance as I took considerable grief because of my support for him early on. IMO, he was a convincing spokesman for Republican policies/values for some time, especially when being interviewed by an unfriendly press. In fact Vance reminded me of a younger more dignified Trump in his ability to stand up to relentless efforts to break him and his policy stances down. I also think he and Trump make a good team of young and old, upcoming/rich listening to middle class workers, gold star families, minorities and the poor who want to elevate themselves, becoming a part of the American dream versus being subsidized by Democrat nanny state handouts. He travels from campaign stop to campaign stop with his wife, 3 kids and dog in tow, always complimenting his wife and referencing his family in lovingly terms. Even his problems with an addict mother, a tough-as-nails grandmother, a childhood challenged by poverty is a background many can identity with – something that can be far more helpful in making a ticket seem real, authentic and relatable than let’s say a Youngkin choice would have been. I really think a lot of people are yearning for true representation from their leaders, rather than just pretty words that turn into inaction once they are in office.

It was a great, great, great town in the north where an amazing car is made ;). I stayed in the same hotel every visit for years, ate at generally the same set of restaurants, etc.
When I went back I didn’t recognize it. The Piazza where people used to congregate and was always full was empty other than all the illegal immigrants that have overrun not only Italy, but a lot of the continent. Businesses that had been there for generations were gone. It was dirty, and to be honest, had become dangerous to walk alone in.
This is what happens when the left takes over. They purposely allow this because they a. they feel it will keep them in power, b. it satisfies the guilt they are taught in school (from elementary through college) that needs to be atoned for…i guess that means by destroying their (our) country by allowing those in who destroyed their own country.

Victimhood is taught in schools, emphasized and ennobled by a democrat-captured press. Instead of showcasing selfless, successful role models, we highlight those having more deviant behavior. Rather than promoting a meritocracy type of society, we support more of an affirmative action, gender, race-based qualification to higher office and better job placement. Free speech has been sidelined to politically-correct, government approved alliances vulnerable to extreme censorship for those who stray. We basically are becoming more and more vulnerable to the extinction of American uniqueness and exceptionalism by the rapid encroachment of policies which the Harris/Walz duo wish to permanently establish in this country.

Bitter – I have to respectfully disagree with you. Neither Hitler nor Stalin were “men of their time”. The world knew that killing millions of people was bad. It was not widely practiced, and information was shared not just locally, but globally by the time they rose to power.
You can not compare the founding fathers to Stalin and Hitler. Its false equivalency and purposely intellectually misleading. It allows for the diminishment of great accomplishments and marginalization of great individuals.
The good that the Founding Fathers brought not to just this country, but to the world (as other nations followed their example and freed themselves from colonial status). By continually focusing on the slavery issue, it allows for them, and therefore all those who followed them, to be seen in a seriously negative light. It also feeds the victimhood that permeates society today. It also enables the weak to lead.
Teach the greatness of these men. That is what was done and it led to great national pride and inspired generations. The idea now is to destroy heroes by highlighting their weaknesses, because we can not have heroes that accomplished great things today. We have to focus on the negative, on the so-called oppressed and self defined marginalized.
If you want to make the claim, and teach that “slavery” was their defining character trait, then you erase almost all of mankinds history as “slavery” has been a part of almost all cultures, (SADLY) since the beginning of time. This isn’t to marginalize the heinousness of the practice, but to demonstrate that trying to stigmatize because of it has a very large reach.

Somehow populists having a say in a party is sometimes interpreted as a “bad” turn of events. However, a populist is literally someone ascribing to the peoples’ needs and policies, rather than simply conforming to the mandates and/or whims of government. In fact, around the world today the populist movement is resonating among large swaths of populations, closing in on election victories that have various elitists concerned about the possibility of their own power ebbing. Yes, the Trump movement does reflect the populist enthusiasm of seeking self governance and determination for themselves. It may even overlap into some of Paul’s stated policies, but remains a separate entity, a hybrid regrouping government policy and bureaucracy that’s less intrusive and modeled more in the Constitutional freedoms constructed at the beginning of this country.
Regarding parsing terminology or allocating it to Pauliac politics, popular labels like “deep state,” (usually unelected but powerful policy makers), “endless wars,” (like the Afghan war or Ukraine which has no exit plan), and “new world order,” (inferring the reach of global organizations in Brussels, the WHO, WEF, UN etc attempting to supersede the sovereignty of other countries) are real concerns for people interested in keeping their rights and freedoms intact within their own borders. Attaching the cloud of Ron Paul to people identifying and segregating such concerns is misleading, as well as a subtle way to vanquish the energy directed at pushing back at overreaching policies we want overturned.

Also, we do have advisors on the ground there, with perhaps more mercenary groups than the ordinary person knows about. The final parts of your post – about not liking Ukraine because it hurt Trump or hating Zelenskyy – is ludicrous. Most people supported Ukraine when it was first invaded, as they did Zelenskyy. But, after so many war-torn years, unaccountable deaths, unaudited funding, and the stench of corruption always surrounding the Ukraine government and it’s aides/officials people, especially the conservative caucus, wants limits and resolutions, not just more ammunitions, weaponry and money flying from our printing presses.

And Janzam’s sorry little attempt to separate populism from the stench of Ron Paul is, like we use to say in Texas, a dog that won’t hunt.
Deep state and endless wars are profoundly stupid statements.
It is no surprise an imbecile like Janzam repeats them mindlessly and yes, endlessly.

Jan. We do not have mercenaries on the ground in Ukraine, and as far as “advisors,” no more than we had before (and in a normal circumstance) and less than you would think. As for the “endless war” moniker, it does not apply to a war that is barely (if that) 24 months old.
For the rest, we will agree to disagree and talk about other subjects.
BTW, by definition, “populism” is a political movement that reflects the popular issues at a time in history. It is not a lasting moment, as what is “populist” today will not be “populist” in 20 years. Remember, there have been many populist movements through our history, and they have faded to the dustbin after time.
Populism is generally associated with a leader, and when that leader fades, so does the movement.

Jeff P – they are in a good position if they dispatch the Blue Jays this week, and the Nats next week. In btween they have seven games with the uncouths. If they take 4 out of 7 from the whining showboaters then they will have a good shot to win one of the wild card spots.

The electoral college would never exist in a populist state.

“Not only is gay marriage legal in Nebraska, same-sex sexual activity is also legal and has been officially since all sodomy laws were repealed in 1977, but how strictly the anti-sodomy laws were enforced prior to that is uncertain. There are no published sodomy cases in the 1950s or 1960s”

The left is truly unhinged. They want to prosecute Elon Musk for undermining the government because he allows free speech on X. Get this, they think opposing left wing policies is now “undermining the government”!!
