My direct exposure to politicians on TV is minimal because I don’t watch TV or cable TV news. From skimming print media, such as the New York Times, and statements from Kamala Harris, I had the impression that Donald Trump’s brain had gone at least “half Biden” and possibly “full Biden” (“Never go Full Biden” being the conventional wisdom). Recently I saw some video on X of a 30-minute block of the man whom we are informed is (1) senile, and simultaneously (2) the world’s biggest threat to democracy.
For comparison, look at this NBC Saturday Night Live skit from 20 years ago. Do the videos support the legacy media/Democrat point of view that Trump has suffered more than ordinary age-related decline?
Separately, Kamala Harris and the New York Times are now telling us to believe that Detroit is a center of “excellence”:
There is no “fact checking” from this hard-hitting independent investigative newspaper regarding the politician’s claim that Detroit is a magnet for excellent Americans.
What does the market say? Here’s a house for sale in Detroit right now on Zillow… for $4,250. This includes three lots, so the actual price of being surrounded by “excellence” is less than $1,500 per lot:
We were supposed to believe that Joe Biden was a paragon of mental acuity (NBC, Feb 2024, interviewing the Secretary of Open Borders: Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas offered a similar defense, calling Biden “sharp.” “The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden is preparing for it because he is sharp, intensely probing and detail-oriented and focused,” Mayorkas told “Meet the Press.”). Now we’re supposed to believe that Donald Trump is feeble-minded (but also capable enough to burn down the Reichstag on January 21, 2025) and that Detroit is jammed with the “excellent”.
Well 20% fewer are doing the deep state’s work for them this time around.
In last week’s Fox News interview, Harris refused to admit that Biden had any cognitive decline.
Headlines now from The NY Times:
Starring in Kamala Harris’s Closing Argument: Donald Trump
Vice President Kamala Harris has made a notable shift in strategy to paint Donald Trump as unfit and dangerous as Democrats grow anxious about the closeness of the race just two weeks out. See: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/20/us/harris-trump-strategy.html
So, even the NYT reports it as a “shift.”
The shift is therefore in…two weeks to go and the hatred, rhetoric and messaging will go as far as possible: The race is to close for their comfort, time to get rid of Trump pretty much by any means necessary.
To be fair, that is some seriously affordable housing.
