HIS People. . .

(HIS People. . .)

Usually, when someone capitalizes that pronoun, it could be a reference to the Christ. Not today. "HIS" in this case is about Doanld Trump, a far cry from Jesus, up to and including being the Antichrist, at least according to some people. Today is less eschatological, however and more perhaps of an emerging species of the Trump voter. The opportunities offered Vice President Harris have been squandered where her exposure to "honest" media compromised her own attempted basement strategy, laying low and have the Democrat "machine" put her in Office in the same manner with which they had installed President Biden.


North Carolina is a swing state. It was also devastated a few weeks ago after Hurricane Helene, the western counties, the Republican dominated counties, are still recovering and there is an open question as to the voters can cast a ballot by Election Day ? Even with all that is before the Tar Heel State, Trump is expected to carry North Carolina, in part due to Helene's recovery.


It is not just in North Carolina. Trump is making McDonald's French fries today, to claim that he worked at the fast-food restaurant for real in contrast the Vice President's assertion that she had once done the same, but she hadn't. Trump got the endorsement of the Steel Workers' Union even giving him his own hard hat. Sometime tomorrow, the former President will be at a Bronx barber shop. In a few days, Trump will hold a rally at Madison Square Garden.


It is a question of why Kamala Harris has been seeking support from the elites where Trump has been associating with the more so-called blue collar. It is no accident that the steel union because Donald Trump has hung tons of steel. And pipe fitters. And H/VAC. And everything else that would go into a Trump skyscraper. A lot of those trades people are still around and now that a Trump victory is becoming increasingly possible.


The former President is still head of the Trump Organization and he is still a businessman. Don Jr and Eric as Executive Vice Presidents run the day to day of the company. If Trump is elected and completes his Term, he could retire. General George Washington could have retired to Mount Vernon at the end of the War of the American Revolution but no. He wanted to be President/

TEQUILA !

(TEQUILA !) Happy Cinco de Mayo or May 5th. One can hope that a lot of you out there are awash in inebriation, seeking to mainline tequila shots or enjoying a nice margarita on the patio. Or, in other words, relax. Take a breath. De-compress. May 5th as it happens is the anniversary of Mexico's victory over French "occupation" of Mexico by Emperor Maximillian, brother to Austrian monarch Maria Theresa in what has been called the Battle of Puebla. The reason France was in Mexico in the first place was that Mexico, after the Mexican-American War and a more civil conflict called the Reform War, had bankrupted Mexico City. Mexican President at the time was Benito Juarez, who repudiated all foreign debt, of which France, Spain, and the United Kingdom were all major holders. A naval expedition was dispatched to Veracruz and France's Napoleon III thought it would be a good idea to establish a French "empire" in Mexico. But, on May 5th, 1862, in the aforementioned B...

Keeping The Faith ?

(Keeping The Faith ?) Happy Memorial Day ! This is the day when the nation pauses and recognizes the contributions of the men and women that strove, and often times perished in the defense of this country. How many campaigns and battles have been seen over the years with Americans in harms way. Theirs was not a pursuit of glory, necessarily but they are remembered as such. As an example, take the Joe Rosenthal photo of the "Iwo Jima Flag-raising," February 23rd, 1945. Most people know what that is and not a few have a copy on their wall. Three of those Marines survived Iwo Jima and went on a bond tour to promote that picture. The U.S. was able to fund the rest of the War off of that drive but the Marines in question did not fare well. Private Ira Hayes, the last casualty of the Volcano Island died of exposure some years later. There was one other Marine, Rene Gagnon, and who was originally believed to be Navy Corpman, John Bradley. Since then, the "place" in the Ros...

Prime Garbage ?

(Prime Garbage ?) In the movie Down & Out in Beverly Hills , starring Nick Nolte and Richard Dreyfus, Nolte plays a Beverly Hills bum who gets taken in by Dreyfus' family. Things did not quite work out Nolte went back to the street but he wanted to take the family dog, Nolte was rummaging through some trash and telling the dog this was "prime garbage." For his part, the dog changed his mind and went back to the Dreyfus family. During the Trump event at Madison Square Garden, an opening act comedian made some remark disparaging Puerto Rico, calling it a "island of garbage." Naturally the media went to work, saying it could depress the Puerto Rican vote, especially in Pennsylvania. Then, the Island "Senator" came out and endorsed Trump. But it has been President Biden's comment that the only "garbage he sees" are Trump voters. Reminiscent of Secretary Clinton's "basket of deplorables ?" Is the Biden remark that new standa...
