J.D. Vance is the Future of MAGA

Yeah, I watched the debate, and I am so glad I did.

Seeing the two men on stage next to each other immediately brought to mind the Nixon-Kennedy Debate. You know, where Kennedy comes across as presidential and Nixon looks brooding and dark. No one even had to watch the debate to know who won. The same thing happened in last night’s debate.

As Vance stood at the podium and the camera scrolled from one man to the other, the stark differences jumped out through the camera. Walz looked mottled and red – with a troll-like demeanor. Vance was handsome, with perfect posture, a wry smile and bright blue eyes – with a presidential appearance. Night and day.

Compare Kamala Harris vs. Donald Trump

Analysis: Because Kamala Harris and Joe Biden cannot function coherently in an unscripted environment anywhere near the press or public, it begs the question of who or what is running the current administration. Even Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz told rally goers in Pennsylvania Saturday “we can’t afford four more years of this” prompting a title wave of agreement by many around kitchen tables, but what do the numbers really show?

Different Abilities

All of us have unique strengths and weaknesses. Each of us is only as big as the smallest thing it takes to divert us from our goals and objectives. As a blind person myself, I am labeled by others as having a disability. While I will be the first to admit that being blind creates some unique challenges, I have never felt that my lack of sight was a barrier any greater than someone else’s divorce, bankruptcy, job loss, or any of the other challenges we all endure in our 21st-century lives.

My blindness only becomes a barrier if I limit my potential to doing things the way the vast majority of people do them.

Brent VanNorman Concludes Recount

In a release late Tuesday, the Brent VanNorman campaign backs the election recount outcome.

“After the largest recount in Tulsa County history, the razor-thin results of the August 27th Tulsa mayoral election have been certified. Each candidate lost votes due to ballot errors, but not enough to make the difference. The VanNorman campaign also learned of several opportunities to strengthen election integrity, particularly as it pertains to early voting. While we are continuing to inspect absentee envelopes, at this time, the campaign supports the verified outcome and expresses its deepest appreciation for everyone involved in ensuring a transparent and accurate process,” the team wrote.

Brent VanNorman said, “While the overall outcome didn’t change, the recount has played out fairly, and we stand by the results.”

Why I have Endorsed President Trump

Opinion: This is not subtle, nor the lesser of two evils.

The time of choosing is coming soon.

Now it comes down to this — a straightforward choice.

Trump/Vance or Harris/Walz.

I have wholeheartedly endorsed what I hope will be future President Trump. I have done this of my free will, in response to no request, being neither coerced nor enticed nor seeking favor or some future direct benefit.

I do this without reservation, knowing he is not perfect, has made mistakes, and will make more.
