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.
His bio on X says “J6 Survivor”; what’s not to like? Phillip Anderson is a strong voice for Trump, especially among Black males. Anderson has voted for Trump before, but he is an influencer, increasing likely turnout for GOP. I’m meeting people who have always voted Democrat, Independent/Libertarian or have never voted. The final outcome should be too big to rig.
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.
I'm going to have to retract somme of my comments. My daughter showed me Instagram videos of Charlie Kirk talking with college kids. I was floored. The support for Trump was overwhelming. Their enthusiasm was unbelievable. They were not snookered by all the garbage. There is still hope.
Younger voters and independents. Democrats Achilles heel this election.
This is the most hopeful impact of this "populist" movement - make the message authentic, widen the tent, and stick to the issues that matter most to the most people. That is MAGA America.
How do you at least break even after Biden-Harris intentionally triggered this devastating bout of covid-hysteria inflation?
Get a government paycheck or government payout that includes automatic COLA. Thanks to the taxpayers who fund this nice little automatic COLA perk, bestowed on the Democrat chosen.
Anyone else notice how their recent Social Security “inflation fighting” COLA matched almost exactly the increases in their “free” Medicare premiums?
One more back door Democrat-controlled wealth transfer system for their favored campaign supporters. Create inflation and then dun taxpayers a second time to smooth out the blows caused by this Democrat inflation.
Looking forward to Trump’s new Office of Government Efficiencies, to be led by Elon Musk.
Joan, Biden-Harris came into office after Trump blew up the economy in 2020, I remember it well because as a gardener I kept working. And my dear Joan, how's your 401 doing, or the investments of yours in the stock market? How's the value of your real estate doing these last four years?
Stanley Druckenmiller (the GOAT) saying exactly what I posted this morning: “I must say… the market, and the inside of the market, is very convinced that Trump is going to win. You can see it in the bank stocks, you can see it in crypto, you can even see it in DJT.”
Biden inflation is all Biden. Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat deep administrative state played Covid political theater for partisan gain in 2020 in the months leading up to the 2020 election which brutally crashed the economy.
Then Biden made it even worse. When the GOP took over the House in 2022 is when the animal spirits of the market place went long on the future economy again, sensing indeed Trump was assured the 2024 election.
That is when the animal spirits of the market place perked up and our retirement investments saw it would be morning in America again. Don’t miss out.
Housing prices have flattened at this end. Be glad you provide a service, and one held in high regard by others as noted here, in this premium area which can still afford such services, which also retains a critical mass that still believes in pride of ownership.
Or having inherited their property now used as a rental who also need professional care services. The local Santa Barbara “economic recovery” is not a typical model. But it remains a strong one for your services. However, downtown aches for a new model.
Interviews show a surprising range of persons now nostalgic for the Trump economy and very much want it back. Government control over the private sector under Biden and Newsom crashes and burns one more time. Even premium Santa Barbara is now showing tatters. Stay tuned. Democrat business as usual in this state has hit red flashing lights that may be cummulative, unless a radical change in direction comes soon.
Right you are JL. Then to top it off, run some phoney-baloney Bond measures to give your allies cover for incompetence and bloated salary and pension schemes!
The stupidity of the American public is unfathomable. This is the first time in our lives that we get to compare the records of candidates who have already served before casting our vote. Nothing else need be examined. Yet a significant portion of the population believes the rhetoric and media propaganda and are all-in for Kamunism.
“The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself... Almost inevitably, he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under
Heil Trump, Herr Schulte! Yes, whatever you do, don't vote for the Black-ish woman. Instead, vote for the Made-in-China-Bible-selling grifter who led an insurrection, was twice impeached, and convicted of 34 felonies; the addle-brained grabber of women's crotches whose rally attendees, instead of being told anything about his "concept of a plan" for running America, must watch him sway for 38 minutes to Ave Maria and listen to him ramble on about the size of Arnold Palmer's male anatomy, and talks of his envy of Hitler's loyal generals. Yes, it is a "no brainer choice" in the eyes of this Army veteran "sucker" and "loser" - but, since I do have a brain, I will be voting for Democracy and the Constitution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr_tKAQ20Dg&t=129s
Love seeing Trump has totally taken over your brain, S.S. You amply put this on display with this TDS post. How will you get through the next four years.
Trump's not "taking over my brain" J.L., Trump and his oligarch pals have taken over our country. I expect to get through the next four years just fine; after all, I already survived the first disastrous Trump administration - and we live in a very resilient country.
Thanks for your hard work. The no longer teach critical thinking in college, they tell kids what to think, not teach them how to think, It shoes, but it makes elections tricky because they can be told to think and do anything and they have no way to evaluate it, they follow like sheep, all the while feeling 'superior' about their virtue signaling. It's Trump or nothing. No Trump, no America, the whole country will become San Fransisco, and we all know what that means.
I still don’t get why anyone would vote for Trump. I’ll listen to the dozens of people who actually worked with and and say he has no place near the White House. I’ll listen to the Generals who recognize his treat to Democracy. I’ll listen to his own VP who knows Trump better than anyone on this platform and says he is unfit for office. Maybe a has been, wannabe dictator is fine for some, not this Independent.
LOL. These are the exact same Democrat talking points now showing up, ad nauseam, everywhere. But they still get no traction, except finally to the point of ridicule.
Tax payer revolt will be the new agenda, because as the say money talks. Then perhaps you can finally hear the message. Democrats ride on the taxpayer gravy train is over.
Listen to the anger now coming from younger voters and the independents. then ask yourself why you keep only hearing Trump, and not the national mandate for the end of big Government coming in just a few more days.
HJM, Santa Barbara s loaded with Democrat hive mind cultists. It is a company town after all. Hoping some day the Democrat hive mind realizes they are destroying their own cash cows.
Elon Musk got it, and he is super smart. When do you think the Democrat hive mind will play catch up?
Don't worry you republican geniuses will destroy SB long before any "other" side does it. Probably will start with some new minority eating pets etc ...*rolleyes*
Spot on. It amazes me how many “smart” people are so ignorant and dumb about this Presidential race. We are continually lied to by those who claim to be truthful. God help us during this election and the aftermath.

I am definitely on a Mencken kick today. He really understood the voting public.
Yes, God help us, but God teaches us not to be afraid. What ever happens, we will survive and have greater resolve and make sure good will triumph.
Language Warning. Don’t watch the video at the end of my comment if you are easily offended. Comedian Kam Patterson is a friend of mine and he is saying the same things on Joe Rogan’s stage that I hear from comedians all around the scene. Kam never voted before. Many of the mostly male young people I talk to are former Bernie Bros or non-affiliated Veterans. But Trump has but a diverse coalition of supporters without hiring a DEI department: https://youtube.com/shorts/Bu1CnzCpPV8?si=IrqVZSnILd4yuOf3
I have a simple solution to the immigrant crisis: spay neuter illegals. Anyone caught within the United States who entered illegally will be medically "fixed" and then returned to country of origin. I guarantee that once word of that policy reached South America, or Haiti, or all the other countries now dumping their masses into our country we would see a mass run for the border, and the troublesome hordes would self-deport.
Convince them they were all born in the wrong body and get the same effect, but with the blessings of the “progressive” left. Dead babies and government funded genital mutilation is one heck of a platform for Democrats to be running on this year.
Therefore, your suggestion is not far off the Democrat professed current policy agenda.
Watch out for what you want The government may turn to the legal citizens next to sterilize. But then, I guess they already are with the free prison transgender operations.
And why establish FEMA camps for the unvaxxed when you can restrain and vaxx against their will? People whose primary political platform is the murder of the unborn have no limits.
Thank you for writing. How must our existing Latino population that lives on the edge of our economy because the leaders of this country don't want to address immigration properly feel when for four years the border has been "open?" Furthermore, the recent illegal immigrants are showered with benefits unlike earlier paranoid immigrants. This costly and blatantly political decision must infuriate earlier "settled" illegals even more than me. Adding more population into a virus recovering society is no doubt the worst Biden Harris directive they inacted.
All I can say is God help America and flush kamatoes and her buddies like obum down the toilet. Our country can NOT survive four more years of their idiocy.

Democrats have a very good record supporting the paychecks, perks and pensions of their always expanding government workforce.
Has this been a good use of your tax dollars? Think about how many new Democrat votes you paid for, this coming April 15.
