Mr. Schulte has accurately described a “Doomsday” scenario. It reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode where Burgess Meredith wakes up and is the last person on earth.

A Harris victory is truly frightening and could be the worse case scenario.

Watching Cavuto this morning, discussing price controls and how it would be disastrous for the US economy and simply won’t work.

I was joking a few days ago; Maxine Waters as Treasury Secretary, Ilhan Omar as Secretary of State and Jamie Raskin as Speaker of the House of Representatives.

This could happen and what a disaster that would be.

A Harris victory would bankrupt our economy, with the Green New Deal and Reparations being on the domestic legislative agenda. Our borders would cease to exist and millions would CONTINUE to pour in overrunning healthcare, education and other critical services. Entitlements would be in the tens of trillions. Our criminal justice systems would collapse as well, except for only the most heinous criminals being incarcerated.

To our Rino and Independent friends, Trump is far from perfect, often saying things that are totally out of wack, but a Harris victory will end our Country as we know it.

The time has never been more critical. Vote as if your economic survival and life depends on it…because it does!

Good comment LT…from review of comments this morning, unfortunately many people are still under the spell…be ready, Our Government is out to impose lockdowns, mask mandates, and possibly vax mandates this election season (flu season)…eg, I hear Monkey Pox (remove the k) is on the rise… also hear that they are planning a tabletop exercise in September to prepare for upcoming bird flu’s…The Silent War continues…

Watching Cavuto this morning? On the station that had to pay 750 million because they were lying to you? Great and ignorant way to get your news. Now this is why ReTRUMPlicans are going to get their ass handed to them up and down the ballot in November.

My goodness this is a great article! You hit every nail on every head. I do wonder where the Republicans are. I know we have RINOs out there, but where are the people with a brain? Why do Republicans just sit down and take it instead of fighting for common sense? I know common sense is a rarity these days, but we're talking about the fate and future of our country! How are we just sitting here?

In the past I always thought that Republicans were the "turn the other cheek" party because of our faith. I understand that to a degree; however, we are being sent out as sheep among wolves and are supposed to be shrewd as snakes and harmless as doves. When did we forget we are surrounded by wolves and still need to be shrewd?

I'm so tired of voting and having it never count. I'm tired of wondering if the election is even real, which I sense, for the most part, is not. And yet I will continue voting because I still have a sliver of hope it may make a difference eventually. I'm trying not to lose hope, but the future I see is devastation unless Trump wins. We need this for our country, for ourselves, and most importantly, for our children and grandchildren. We've got to WAKE THE HECK UP!!!

Yes and that is where I guess the term RINO was born. I have seen good people attempt to infiltrate local politics who are true Christians and have very good values and morals and they were annihilated by the left. They say money can't buy you happiness but it sure can buy you politics. And power. And influence. So what do we do? How do we stop the hypocrisy? How do we stop the madness of fake politicians? Call me an idealist, but I feel like when people initially get into politics they actually want to make a difference. I know this is the Elle Woods' version, but don't people who work for the government remember that they actually to work for us? Why does our voice mean so little? We vote, it doesn't matter. We write letters, we are met with disdain and rudeness. Even in this platform, you see radical leftists coming on here and throwing shade on anyone who disagrees. And yet I would never ever go to a leftist platform and start calling them a bunch of names. Do they really think they're going to convince us to change our vote? Our beliefs? The very way we live our lives? Well they're getting away with it unfortunately. I wish I knew how to make an actual difference.

Your assessment is frighteningly true. The level of deceit going on is higher than ever imagined. I tell people I’m voting NOT to become California or New York. Specifically San Francisco.

It continues to baffle me how so many minds and hearts have been hardened. How half of the people are OK with at-will murders of unborn children, no consequences for real [not manufactured charges like the DEM's used for Trump] criminal activity, no accountability for voter violations, and an open border that allows anyone [including murderers and rapists] to enter this Country and commit their crimes of choice. It baffles me that when people read a direct, well written OPED by a right thinking member of our society that they can criticize the content because they "HATE" the source [MAGA/Trump]. Few are led to proclaim it, but in my opinion this is our moment that will chose between Good and evil. Good provides for all of the blessings from above this Country has enjoyed for Centuries. Evil will destroy it...that's what evil does. So people...this is a choice between right and wrong, Good and evil, peace and mayham...wake up and pick wisely. Again, nice OPED Henry.

The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness. This is the definition of hypocrisy. Plain as day Kamala Harris is a hypocrit, by definition. It does not matter. So strong is allegiance to the Democrat party that Harris' hypocracy will dissuade no Democrat. Her hypocrisy may even net her votes from the undecided. The lure of hypocricy with the scent of government cheese is irresistible to a rodent but is laced with poison. Like the rodent who will take cocaine to its demise while ignoring food or water, so is government dependence. It is a matter of self pride to want to make your own way without government assistance or unnecessary impediment. It is at the root of the American experiment. This year Americanism is on the ballot.

Americanism as conceived conserves individualism. As such it conserves individual liberty including how you perceive truth, goodness and morality or how you realize the fulness of your Christian faith. Neither does is seek to impose any ideology. To conserve is to leave unatered and Americanism seeks to preserve the individual and his nature and values same.

DON'T GIVE UP, FIGHT. FIGHT FIGHT

Polly Frost's avatar

Thanks, Henry. Brilliantly put. Here's my input: I just read an opinion piece https://unherd.com/2024/08/the-march-of-kamalas-brides/ which says exactly what I've suspected. It's not that Kamala is black or Indian or whatever DEI-appropriate color she claims and then forgets. The real demographic she represents is America's Unhappy Single Women (who I'll shorten to USW) who are, like Kamala, mentally ill. If Kamala gets elected, this will be the demographic that does it, the USW. And I don't limit USW to women who without partners. I know plenty who are married, but who behave as though they are all alone, fighting the fight to just have one moment when life would be just and they could just shop and drink wine and giggle with their girlfriends without the horror that is the patriarchy snatching that moment away. I feel so sorry for the men who are tied to them.

For eight years I've been wondering why anyone would think that Trump was really the trigger (to use a word the USW love) for their fury. Around 2014, I started to see the mass fury of the USW before Trump even decided to run. There was always some guy - usually some guy who they'd once thought was God, like Woody Allen - who they suddenly turned on. He became the source of all evil. What was weird about it was they had their perfect man, Obama, in the White House. But instead of being soothed, they just got angrier.

If we want to save this country, we've got to do something about these women. I don't think the Democratic Party would even exist in its current looniness without them. But what? It's impossible to get them to admit that feminism failed them. And they hate conservative women who ignored feminism, because study after study shows they are happy. I don't think we can reason with them. But I also think their moment is coming to an end.

I'm optimistic about the election. I think we're seeing this demographic getting all this fantasy media play, because it makes the media money. But my feeling is that finally the rest of America will stop catering to the tantrums of the USW and their MeToos and TDS. I hear it from a lot of women - the silent majority of mentally well women in this country who have had enough USW craziness. And I do think the majority of women in this country, whether they are Democrats or Republicans, want America to be great again.

As the saying goes....people deserve the government they get. When people are this apathetic, fearful and cowardly, as they are in the United States what you see is tyranny. And let's not forget the 2020 election fraud perpetrated against Trump in 5 swing states. That is going to happen again but just bigger this time as nobody likes Kamala, and the deep state knows that, hence the push for Kamala is in full swing through BOGUS polls, calling her competent, pretending the race is so so close etc..they did this in 2020 with basement Biden. They're doing this again. The deep state has now perfected the art of election fraud. They know they cannot win legitimately as people are waking up including the Dems. We're losing our country to election fraud. The border was left open so that the cretins from 3rd world cesspools who cannot read and write in their own languages are now the new registered Democrats and who will now vote. As American citizens and even registered Dems wake up to the travesty, they keep importing third worlders to do their bidding. Seal the borders and get our election process back to what it was 60 years ago: paper ballots, hand counting at precinct, a national voter ID, one day in person voting ONLY. The election fraud and open borders are causing havoc....that is the ONLY way they can win.

Stephen H Siemsen's avatar

Poor Mr. Schulte, you obviously have been soaking too long in a bath of MAGA conspiracy theories. As a Republican who is not a member of Trump’s MAGA personality cult, here is a brief recounting of recent events:

The RINO Trump changed his party affiliation in 2015 and then, with an assist from his racist MAGA sycophants, “cheated his way into office” in 2016 despite losing the popular vote by over 3 million ballots. As an elected “employee” of the American people he failed miserably at running our country. Trump's mismanagement of the Covid epidemic resulted in the deaths of over 1.2 million Americans and nearly destroyed our economy. Consequently, Trump was “fired” by the American people in 2020, losing the popular vote this time by over 7 million ballots. Being the king of “lies and deception” he accused the Dems of cheating and filed over 60 lawsuits. Each and every investigation and lawsuit concluded that Trump was a liar and had lost the election. Unable to accept this reality, he fomented an insurrection that culminated in an attack on the U.S. Capitol while Congress was in session to count the electoral votes. He then refused to attend Biden’s inauguration and left D.C. in a huff on Air Force One, taking with him dozens of boxes of highly classified documents, which he later hid and refused to return to the National Archives. His former Vice President and the vast majority of his own G.O.P. government appointees have refused to endorse this convicted felon who is a threat to our national security. I can only hope that with Trump’s THIRD loss of the popular vote this coming November, the G.O.P. finally will wake up and rid itself of this malignant canker on our body politic.

It is just so depressing to realise there are many Mr. Siemens out there. And they will all probably vote for Kamala Magala and usher in – finally – their dream of The Socialist States of America. They will have succeeded in utterly transforming what was once a free Constitutional Republic to just another socialist hell hole.

Gilbert's avatar

Versus voting for a convicted felon and unrepentant adulterer career con man. Yes Mr. Buckley , it will be an easy decision .

Trump has lowered my former party to all time lows in morality, ethics and honesty.

Ronald Reagan was the gold standard for the GOP for decades . Now he is but a distant memory for today’s MAGAnutjobs.

There is no way on earth that Nancy would ever have allowed Ron to associate with the lowlife Trump.

Polly Frost's avatar

How do you know what Nancy would have done? Were you friends with her? She was very good friends with a friend of mine (who was a powerful Dem) and you are fantasizing about Nancy. She had lunch with my friend and Andy Warhol and Gore Vidal and Truman Capote. She was a performer unshocked by anything. She probably knew Trump. She knew everyone.

I know, right? Why do they come on to an obviously right-wing publication and spew so much hatred? Do they really think that they are convincing anyone? Do they think they're going to change our minds? I would rather live with cockroaches, which I vehemently despise, than to even spend one second on a left-wing nut job radical pathetic horrible publication. There's no way that I would devote any of my most precious time to even trying to spend one microsecond giving them the truth. Because they will always lie, deny, threaten, name call (which of course only they are allowed to do), or just stomp off like a little 2-year-old having a ferocious temper tantrum. Why do they come on here anyway? What a blatant waste of time! Why? Because they are evil. This is literally a fight for good versus evil in the upcoming election!

Omg , Schulte is an extremist rightwinnutter.

To say Biden.”cheated into office” after all these years of the Big Lie” having been debunked.

In excess of 60 big lie cases thrown out of court including the Trump majority Supreme Court.

I stopped reading Schultes manifesto after the first paragraph where his delusions became painfully obvious .

Harris would not be my first pick but voting for a convicted felon with a history of conning the gullible is not even an option.

I get it, you are already getting ready for Trump to get crushed in November so your spreading misinformation about election integrity. Your a victim right? Just like Trump preaches non-stop. Sad that your life is so empty that you spend hours and hours on the net trying to convince yourself about something that never happened in the first place.

Oh sure , that’s why Fox News paid out $787 million bucks to Dominon to settle all their false reporting on voting machines.

Trump is not that candidate and I consider MAGAnutters to be the most ignorant and gullible sector of the American electorate.

Harris has many shortcomings . I’ve thought that since Biden chose her as VP.

Nothing has changed my mind. I’m not swept up in the joy and positivity movement . Once again , I will hold my nose and vote against Trump because I know what a complete con man he is.

Oh puhleeze Mr. Livingston…”Trump is not a con man”.

Six bankruptcies while stiffing his suppliers and venders. Small people .

Settling a fraud case involving unscrupulous dealings at Trump University.

Repaying student victims of his fraudulent actions to the tune of $25 million .

Dissolution of the Trump Foundation because of theft of funds intended for cancer patients.

Altering business ledgers on his properties to benefit tax debt and gain leverage for loans.

Selling $60 dollar “Trump Bibles” while pretending to be a Christian. Ha …that’s a good one. The con man couldn’t recite even one Bible passage to save his life. That is the definition of a con.

There are scores of other examples of Trumps unethical and fraudulent deals but of course you will concoct excuses foe every one of them.

Go ahead and vote for him. Somrthing tells me you will never see the truth that is right in front of your eyes.

I read this solid article by buisness-man Mr. Schulte titled "Living the Lie: From Left-Wing Whacko to “Sensible Centrist” and I quote "No matter what the situation, a good business requires respectable and fair leadership. If you own or have owned a business, you want it to run as smoothly as possible: to turn a profit, not only for the owner(s) but to provide paychecks for your employees."

Many of our past US Corporations were run by our "Greatest-Generation" who are now mostly gone

along with thier values. I will use my own Walther families buisness from Dayton Ohio as an example.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Walther_Sr.

My Nine Walther Uncles would never, under any circumstance, allow "Elite Politicians" to take over an entire community like Santa Barbara. My Uncles all went off to WWII "To Fight" and all miraculously came back and they would fight to thier last breath than allow America to be taken over by those who had their interest first, instead of it's people. Communities all over American have indeed been "Taken Over" like here in Santa Barbara. Bring-it-back to Santa Barbara and the New Title should read

"Living the Lie Rigth Here in Santa Barbara."

At age 17, I worked in Machine Shop # 2, at my families company, a huge set of manufacturing buildings in Dayton Ohio where each day and all day I swept out the dirt and crap. I am Hell at Sweeping out Dirt and Crap ....... time again for alittle Sweeping here in Santa Barbara ......... what do you think? Pick up your Broom and just learn to sweep .................

It is beyond imagination anyone who has watched Trump expose his true nature and decline can still think he is a somewhat decent choice. The man is a hot mess. His absolute criminal nature is on full display. What proud American could vote for such a completely undisciplined and ego-centric person? I understand that the MAGA movement is disappointed, shocked and frustrated. What do people expect when you hook your wagon to a criminally mined lunatic?

An inconvenient fact is that con man Trump grew the national debt by $8 trillion in his disastrous 4 years after campaigning on eliminating deficit spending and promising to eliminate the national debt. Oh , what a miserable failure he was and is.

His four year debt increase matched Obama’s 8 year total.

How completely exhausting to read through 94 comments. But, truth is, in real life I have a very small handful of people with whom I can discuss politics, and certainly never in a business setting for fear of offending a potential client. So I come to the SB CURRENT to get a sense for what my community is thinking. Failing that, what they are feeling.

Looking at the state of our nation, and the world, I feel like it is a morality play; a battle between Good and Evil. Every time I see yet another stupid local decision like roads made more aggravating for car drivers to encourage bicycle use, I think there is a Force of Evil that has infected the brains of the Government employees who work diligently to justify their payroll and pensions by acting out their warped priorities.

Each of us is called upon to follow a personal moral code, to do our best, and part of that is to speak honestly about what we SEE right in front of us. How so many have been brainwashed into looking forward to a Socialist/Communist future is just the result of an educational system that has failed.

In my heart I believe this onrushing election will determine the fate of the Nation. And that Trump stands in the way of the NWO destruction of America. IF he lives, IF the voting is not manipulated, if he has a chance to get back into the position of power to stop the juggernaut of the illegal alien invasion...... IF America as we have known it stands a chance.

I agree with every word, Pat. America will not survive under another 4 of the same. And I fear for Trump's life as they are desperate to maintain their 'power' to destroy. Sigh. A sad day for the America that I grew up in.

Months ago Tucker Carlson commented that, watching Trump be besieged by LawFare and having been opposed by the Deep State in every way possible since his election in 2016, what was left but assassination? Nothing rings more true than when Trump says "It is you they are after, I'm just in the way."

Pat, I see you here and on other sites. I agree with you and so many other here on local topics but when it comes to Trump we are polar opposites. I watched him today for more than a hour and took notes. My honest opinion is he's loosing his mind.

Elections are just like advertising campaigns for products & services.

Name recognition in a positive note is key followed with slamming your competitors product or record.

Typically those with the larger advertising budget wins.

I say this to point out Kamala. She was the worst VP with the lowest rankings, per the corporate media prior to Biden’s resignation.

Now she’s the cars meow, the “smartest & most hard working person in the WH”.

Recycling their propaganda from Dementia Joe.

But they also have brand loyalty. Just like those die hard sports fans that will never give up on their teams despite the Lodi g steak and questionable management decisions.

To the outsider, which is most of America and the entire world the manipulation is obvious.

True poling stats Trump has 75% of voters.

Everyone must Vote though.

If you do not personally vote, the Dems will fill in your ballot for you.

Go look up your voting record, did you vote in every mid term? Some found out that their ballots were submitted, without their consent.

DLDawson's avatar

Good Article…from the comments, it stirred the pot… constantly shaking my head over the Orange Man Bad belief system. It’s a direct reflection of the “Orange Man Bad” mindwarp that the MSM has been playing 24/7 over the past eight years.

Case in point — Trump’s news conference just the other day when he was honoring a woman in his presence who had received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The MSM narrative tells us (spells us) that Trump was once again denigrating veterans. I have a different take. I watched the Trump speech and the follow up question & answer period with the MSM. From that, I don't believe that Trump was denigrating veterans, instead he's paying a kind tribute to a woman Medal of Freedom recipient who was in his presence. He was making the point that she was lucky to be living a good wholesome life (of good health & physical well being) to enjoy and bask in the honor — rather than being a broken or fallen soldier who had received the Medal of Honor. In a left-handed way, he was reminding us of those brave soldiers & their great sacrifices. Overall, he was comparing/contrasting to two types of medal recipients. As a veteran (USAF 74-78, Army National Guard 84-85, Digital Army 17-24), I was not offended in the least bit. I'm also perplexed how any veteran, and any person f sound mind, could vote for Tim Walz & his stolen valor. Why would anyone vote to put a thief in office? Especially when our country is near collapse. If the socialist/Marxist/communist retain power, it will be the end of the USA that we serve & love.

people who are still asleep are going to be shocked to find out that Trump is not the person that the media portrays

OK, I watched the same thing several times and I think Trump's a dope.

I know that you know that I knew that (😎)…with respect, what if Trump is playing the role of the dope, Mr. Bombastic? Expect to see Trump transform into Mr. Serious Businessman during the remainder of the election season. We now have a total of 80 days left in this (illegal) election season. Lots can happen. Drip, drip, drip -> Flood!

way I see things My Friend: the United States is at war, against those [Deep State] that are currently attempting to collapse our government & install communism (and all other counties in the world are fighting this same battle against the same invisible enemy)

None of what is happening to Our Country is organic. We are in the middle of a Culture War / Color Revolution promulgated by the “Old Guard” (CCP + WEF + others foreign & domestic). They are using the same playbook that they used to install communism in other countries over time:

1. Take control of Health Care (make ppl depend on government)

2. Create Poverty (make ppl dependent on government)

3. Create Debt (higher taxes -> more poverty)

4. Gun Control (remove guns to create Police State)

5. Take full control of Personal Lives (food, housing, transportation...)

6. Take full control of Schools / Learning

7. Eliminate Religion 

8. Create Class Warfare

9. Control the Media

Our US Military is running the counter insurgency (key players within the one area of our government not totally corrupted / compromised, and sworn oath, strictly bound & dedicated to upholding our Constitution). Trump (who knew his time for leadership would someday arrive) was recruited to run for office & serve as Field General for the counter insurgency (he’s the mouthpiece with a laser pointer). The overall goal is to expose the crime syndicates that run our country (and the world)...

OK, I would respond with three things.

Smoke or consume THC.

Have a light beer nearby to drink

Enjoy the day since we live in paradise compared to every other county and region on planet Earth.

Haha…don’t drink and only take drugs for medicinal purposes. But I do love the beach.

Okay, so that explains it Dano, wake and bake often?

No. But I'll be 65 in a few months and I work seven days a week.

Right on, I retired a little over a year ago after 46 years of working my ass off and paying taxes. Now 65 and enjoying the fruits of my labor. The absolute last thing I want to see is my taxes going up due to others who have NOT done as I have. That’s right, playing by the rules and providing for my self and family. Why should others flood in and destroy our dream? The time is of the essence in protecting my life’s work and the work of others. We have two simple choices my brother, that of right and wrong and that of sanity and batshit crazy.

The choice is not even close.
