In Search of “Truth” Before November 5th
Close the border. Send them home. It would cheaper to put up the money now than carry 20 million “newcomers” forever.
Start expanding oil production.
Get interest rates down and begin putting the sluggish but all too important brakes on inflation.
All of you reading these columns have a handle on politics. You care how this will end up. You likely get some news from FOX or NewsMax, and/or triangulate the information to find some truth in the middle.
If there is any truth anymore to begin with.
Kids pay no attention to any of this. And by “kids,” I mean college-aged people. They gather whatever political info they do get through social media, what colleges spoon feed them, and from talking among each other. And now there’s AI. Kamala Harris told us it’s two letters so at least we know what it is.
One thing I can almost guarantee is that many young people never bother to seek out different sources of information to find out if something’s true or not. That’s a lot of work.
They Have Their Sources
Jesse Watters on FOX sends Johnny – his man-on-the-street – to see what real Americans know and hear. I’m always stunned by the utter lack of knowledge he elicits from our youth. They completed twelve years of schooling and are clueless about the most basic of things. Parents, or in my case, grandparents, are spending a fortune on colleges.
For what?
It would be cheaper and way more valuable to give them a few bucks, send them on their way, and wish them luck in the real world.
On the other hand, Johnny hits the pavement, speaks with about eight people of color in different stations of society. I find the results of his interviews profoundly important and stunning. From the man with no teeth to the woman looking like she was on her way to work, every one of them have nothing good to say about Kamala.
When asked, they say they’re voting for Trump. I have no idea what their sources are for news, but they seem well informed about Kamala and have zero love for her. On the other hand, they stand proud to show their support for a rich, old white dude.
And we’re not talking about Joe Biden. These kids are supporting another rich, old, white guy: Donald J. Trump.
Think about that. Kamala was able to use her Jamaican father and Indian mother to magically make herself black. Not a single person interviewed even brings up what her skin color is.
They are all in for the white guy.
“Immigrants” Treated Better Than American Citizens
Point is, the country is so bad off, so difficult to survive in, and in such a mess, the black community, all Americans, can’t afford to have more of the same. They need some “hope and change” to make their lives better again.
People see through the media’s attempt to paint Trump as a racist, the MSNBC buffoons who scream he’s a “threat to democracy,” and all the bogus legal charges. The interviewees, in a poor neighborhood, predominantly black, have clear eyes and haven’t been fooled.
Too many people say they’re voting for Kamala because they simply can’t bring themselves to vote for Trump. They don’t care that, should Kamala win, life will continue to be a struggle and will probably get even worse.
Yet the people you least expect, and I’m not saying that because of skin color, but despite skin color, know exactly why they’re voting for a man that has been unjustly persecuted. He shows he cares about them, and they can feel the honesty. They have faith he can make things better again.
Every one of the people Johnny interviews say they are extremely concerned how much everything costs. Things are just way too expensive. They notice too how much better the immigrant “newcomers” pouring over our borders – by invitation of the Biden/Harris administration – are being treated than they are.
That’s what matters.
“Hope and Change” On the Way
They look back to when Trump was president and how much better off they were.
No amount of lying, media coverup, and garbage propaganda is swaying them. Folks in their American living rooms know how difficult their lives have become in the last four years. Million-dollars-a-year professors and other wealthy liberals don’t care. It doesn’t affect them.
Higher food costs and fuel? Meh. No Biggy.
What do the Obamas and Clintons have to worry about? They slither down from their mansions to lie… I mean preach… to the voters that Kamala is their gal and if you’re black you must vote for her. Should she win, Obama and Clinton will go back to running the country from the confines of their carbon polluting castles.
In the meantime, if you’re someone who’s working for say $20 an hour but over the last four years everything costs you 10, 15, 20% more, you’re not happy. Your $20 an hour is more like $15 or even less. It used to cost $30 to fill your gas tank and now it’s $60 (in California, maybe $90).
You’re going backwards.
The only way you’re going to keep from boiling in the pot is to cut back on everything. Or get another job. Remember, this is Kamala’s fault. Biden clearly stated she was involved in all decision making and, as she has said, she wouldn’t change a thing.
Time to Choose
This is real life. It’s not the fantasyland that Democrats and Socialists want to make you believe it is.
If all Americans were to get a 20% raise, it would barely bring their financial lives back to even. Biden (and his secret bosses) mismanaged everything and had the worst presidency in American history. He hurt so many people and made life so much more arduous for those who could least afford it.
Voting for Kamala purely as a protest vote against Trump is a missed opportunity, especially if you are poor or barely middle class.
You must make the right choice between now and November 5th.
And you know what that choice is.
At least I think you do.
Santa Barbara Current’s Endorsement List (Nov 5, 2024 Election)
Thank you, Henry, excellent. When it comes to being dumb about what's going on right now, the dumbest people I know are white people living terrific lives in Santa Barbara. Dumb white people over the age of 50. It is shocking to me how dumb they can be. Yet these dumb white people read the NYT, The Atlantic, WaPo. They were educated when you got an education. They have pretty places to live and go to the symphony and don't eat seed oils. They feel they are really smart because they are not working class, they are not poor. But in fact they are so dumb they believe the lies being told them by the mainstream media. And they all believe Trump is Hitler. And that he only appeals to racist White Supremacists.
Our public education system in Santa Barbara is a disgrace. (Vote for Christy Lozano, she knows how to fix it.) And yet the young people I meet in Santa Barbara, who graduated from public schools, who commute in from Ventura or Lompoc to work low level jobs in Santa Barbara are way smarter than the privileged people I know here about what's going on in politics. They know the media is lying, they know about the Globalist agenda is to control the world, not cure climate change, they hate Kamala Harris - and they love Trump.
These people give me hope for America. And they deserve the best. And that's Trump. Like this guy says “He's a legend.” https://x.com/VoteHarrisOut/status/1848068585828032837
I spend a lot of time around people without college degrees. There is such a thing as being too clever by half. The majority of the people who don’t identify with either party say they are voting for Trump. Let’s hope they actually send in their ballot or make it to the polls.
