Jesus. That is Memorial Day. When the US memorializes the soldiers that died. The presidents/vice president generally go and lay wreaths to honor the troops who died. Also, that picture was taking in 2010 when Biden was VP and not running for anything. As commander in chief that is literally part of the President's (or when delegated to the VP) job.

At the minimum you should be googling the things you hear online. A friend was telling me they are teaching classes in highschool now on how to spot disinformation. It may be helpful to you.

Jesus. Have you seen what the gold Star families said. They invited Trump plus joe Kamala.Joe went to the beach and kamala was campaigning and preparing for the CNN chat with Dana Bash.

Kamala put out a statement on FB.yestetfay , last I checked it had over 8K replies with nearly everyone blasting her. Callous of her to be criticizing Trump instead of her empathizing with the families.
When bodies were brought Joe was staring at his watch wondering when it will be over.
His top army knew there was a suicide bomber and had been spotted hours earlier but sniper was told not to take him out.

Trump does another double backflip and is now going to support the 6 week Abortion ban in Florida.

He says 6;weeks is too short .But dems want late term.

Trump explained that while he believes Florida’s six-week abortion ban more time than six weeks,” he will be voting no on Florida’s abortion Amendment, noting that the Democrats were “radical” in their views on abortion.

Under Florida’s Amendment 4, the right to abortion throughout a pregnancy would be enshrined into the state’s constitution

“I think six weeks, you need more time than six weeks,” Trump said. “I’ve disagreed with that right from the early primaries when I heard about it, I disagreed with it. At the same time, the Democrats are radical because the nine months is just a ridiculous situation, where you can do an abortion in the ninth month
Some of the states like Minnesota and other states have it where you can actually execute the baby after birth, and all of that stuff is unacceptable,” Trump added. “So, I’ll be voting no for that reason
.”

This year quite a number of RINOs decided they won't run . One waited till after the deadline day when there would have been a run off to replace him.

But this is a referendum.Many of these loud mouths married women secretly engage in abortion. Feminists who plan never to have ( or more) children will use a permanent method of family planning.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that ballots with missing dates or incorrect dates must be counted. They overruled a lower state court and legislative body
The ruling was a victory for voting rights groups, which have fought against the requirement for years, and makes it slightly easier for Pennsylvanians to vote by mail in November.

Let's see members of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

The current members of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court are:

Debra Todd (Chief Justice) - Democratic
Christine Donohue - Democratic
Kevin Dougherty - Democratic
David Wecht - Democratic
Sallie Updyke Mundy - Republican
Kevin Brobson - Republican

Tyranny. US had something to do with Bolsanaro loss in Brazil elections... Funding NGOs ,etc ..I don't rule out Dominion. Lula has already indicted Bolsanaro, taking a cue from Trump treatment by Joe Biden.

Supreme Court President made X close office in Brazil . The judge has now banned X countrywide. He has ordered all Starlink accounts suspended in order to collect fines.. He has imposed a fine of $8K a day on anyone using a VPN client to access X.
X has communications from.him requesting X to censor govt opponents.
Coming soon to America if you elect Kamala Harris.

France will.jail Durov Telegram CEO for refusing to censor. Are charging him.as a conspirator with users who use Encrypted Telegram channels to commit crimes.
( Hold gun manufacturers responsible for gun crimes. Where did I hear that? )

All these in my opinion are at the behest of US govt efforts to shut down media they can't control. They funded activists through Telegram to forment protests and riots in Russia, Belarus and Israel. The Biden govt helped Brazil obtain chipsets used in manufacturing of voting machines from Taiwan. CIA then warned Bolsanaro not to cast doubts on the accuracy and security if the voting machines.Biden funded censorship activists in Brazil too.
Right now X is the biggest threat to a Kamala Harris win.

Just thinking. The Dutch have given the go-ahead to Ukraine to use F-16s they provided to them for attacks deep in Russia territory. What if Putin attacks Netherlands,, a NATO country. All of them rise to gang up against Russia.
Elections get suspended. Just my far fetched thinking. These leftists in power are so evil , they can burn down the world to prevent Trump or anyone else ursuping their power. They are that evil.

Ijebos, obrigardo. Campaign ad.

t has been revealed that Joe Biden used pictures from what appears to be Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery in a campaign advertisement that he posted on X in May 2020 during the last presidential election. This comes as media reports have launched accusations at Donald Trump for his team taking photos and video at Section 60 of the cemetery where some of the Gold Star families of the botched Afghanistan withdrawal met on the Abbey Gate bombing's third anniversary to honor their children

So Trump violated a section 60 rule, but Biden does a campaign ad using similar photo and it's not a violation.

Wake me up with a better description of Kamala Harris than this

Kamala Harris is the privileged child of racist Marxist immigrant college professors, she has all but no connection to the American working class experience in her formative years, she rose to prominence by having sex with a much older, powerful Democrat politician, as a government lawyer she engaged in corrupt practices that discriminated against black men in prison, as a Senator she was the most extreme Leftist in the Senate, she got chosen as VP because of her skin color and Instruments, as VP she has had no notable accomplishments other than to ignore the advanced dementia of her boss, she used extortion to grab the Presidential nomination for herself, and her campaign currently consists of hiding from the press while having no verifiable campaign platform.”

Kamala Harris is dying to win Pennsylvania. A fracking power house. In 2020 during a CNN town hall she called for a ban to fracking. Here is her clearly saying that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DibvhzmbrTA&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2F&source_ve_path=Mjg2NjY

Yesterday Dana Bash asked her whether why she changed her position .

CNN REPORTER: You said you supported banning fracking. Did it change?

Kamala: In 2020, I made clear where I stand. We are in 2024. I kept my word.

REPORTER: Why did you change your position?

Kamala: Let's be clear. My values have not changed.

She's a liar... She also never answered why she hid joe Biden mental abilities till the last minute.. Vague BS.

Her running mate lied he carried weapons into a war. Yesterday he blamed terrible grammar. Don't forget he lied about his rank for 18 or so years.

DANA: "You said you carried weapons in war but you have never deployed actually in a war zone."

WALZ: "The one thing I'm never going to do is.. I'll never demean another member's service."

These two should never set foot in the WH. If only a neutral journalist wanting to get down to the facts was the interviewer, Say Jesse Walters, or Tucker Carlson. She would not win a single electoral vote in November.

Former President Donald Trump took a daring stance concerning IVF on Thursday as he promises to protect women’s rights while campaigning as a pro-family candidate.

Trump announced that if elected, he would make in-vitro fertilization (IVF) free for “all Americans that need it” either through the government or by mandating that all insurance companies must cover the treatment. Although he did not specify the details of his proposal, Trump said he is “doing this because we just think it's great and we need great children, beautiful children in our country.”

Trump wants to ban IVF ?
Very soon expect to hear all the dangers and ethos of IVF. Like deformed kids, white supremacy, need for abortions in case kid might not make it, unethical or racial selection of sperm donors, etc.

Biden’s $7.5 billion EV charging stations program, which promised half a million installations, still has over 499,990 to go after three years. President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in November 2021, allocating $7.5 billion for electric vehicle charging, of which $5 billion is dedicated to building a network of chargers along major highways, called the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program. Just seven electric-vehicle charging stations have begun operating with that $5-billion funding, marking “pathetic” progress, as automakers and others

Let’s backtrack. Trump’s CAMPAIGN PROMISE was that he would build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. He didn’t say anything about the things you mentioned. He said he’d make Mexico pay for the border wall he promised to build. Before we blame anyone else, let’s talk about the origin of error.

I've already answered that. He does not make the budget, he directs but Paul refused saying $25 billion was unavailable. I can argue that had he gotten the funds to build a wall he would have figured out a way to recoup the expenses from Mexico..Whether it's from a dollar tax for every car imported from mexico over a period of 99 years.😅😅. I don't see anywhere where he said when Mexico would pay .
Then Joe Biden sends hundreds of billions to Zelensky
