Imagine a made-man President negotiating with Putin. "Hey, Vladimir, this is mighty fine Black Sea Fleet you have here. It would be shame if something were to happen to it..."


Credit where it is due. That was clever.

Looks like they're going to start WWIII since they can't cheat enough to win with Harris.

The software is called Socrates:

I'm thinking about a 78% landslide, less the cheating.

'Deep State Knows It Cannot Cheat Kamala In' - Martin Armstrong Fears Washington's Plan To "Trap Trump Into War"

SEP 18, 2024
.
.
.
Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong predicted less than a month ago that there would be another assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life, and the Deep State was going to do everything possible to start a war with Russia.

He was right on both counts. All the chaos, debate fraud and push for World War III comes down to the Deep State knows it cannot cheat enough to put Kamala Harris into the White House in November.

Forget the phony polls where they all say Kamala is running neck and neck with Trump.

Armstrong says his “Socrates” computer program shows Kamala’s real approval rating is around 10%, and all his computer models say Kamala is going to lose big in November no matter how much they cheat. Armstrong says, “Just about everybody in politics looks at Socrates now because its track record on politics has been phenomenal for 30 years. They know what is going on.”

So, is the Biden Administration panicking with this second clumsy attempt to assassinate Trump while playing golf? Is our own government trying to kill Trump because they know they cannot win?

Armstrong says, “I believe so. . . . Look, these people have been warmongers. . . . This is their power."

Very nice interacting with maps.

I'm impressed.

This link works. The quote messes up the link.

some thoughts about slavery:

*If you go back far enough, everybody has a slave-owning ancestor
*If you have a more recent slave-owning ancestor, this does not make *you* a bad person
*If you don't have any recent slave-owning ancestors, this does not make *you* a good person [sorry Geno]
*VP Harris is not a bad person because of slave-owning ancestors. However, if anyone should have to pay reparations, guess what?

furthermore,

*any slave owner, was likely born as not much of a different person than you or me, especially if they were born into it
*It is has also been observed that to be a slave owner, one tends to be corrupted by being one, like having any other type of excessive power over other people. This is a different matter
*to be a slave owner and free your slaves was very problematic. To destroy your own assets is only one of the reasons

One thing I noticed with the Reuters' article, is the authors covered many upper-level politicians, including Governors of States, but not the VP (Harris).

The article was released in 2023.

They intentionally skipped Harris.

That's one reason why I warn about Reuters' links.

I believe they set-up Harris to fail with being labeled the Border Czar.

If so, no one deserves that kind of treatment.


But, being the Broadband Czar could be her complete and utter failure.

Nine US Senators Launch Inquiry Into Kamala Harris' Failure As 'Broadband Czar'

SEP 18, 2024
.
.
.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr criticized the Biden-Harris administration, pointing out that their $42.45 billion program to bring high-speed internet to rural America has yet to connect a single person. He said it had been 1,038 days, and "not a single person has been connected" since the program debuted.
.
.
.
Dear Vice President Harris:

We are writing to express serious concerns regarding your role as the Biden-Harris administration's "broadband czar" and the mismanagement of federal broadband initiatives under your leadership. It appears that your performance as "broadband czar" has mirrored your performance as "border czar," marked by poor management and a lack of effectiveness despite significant federal broadband investments and your promises to deliver broadband to rural areas.

As you are aware, Congress, through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provided the National Telecommunications and Information Administration with $42.45 billion for the Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program. These funds are intended to provide broadband access to unserved communities, particularly those in rural areas.

In 2021, you were specifically tasked by President Biden to lead the administration's efforts to expand broadband services to unserved Americans. And at the time, you stated, "we can bring broadband to rural America today." Despite your assurances over three years ago, rural and unserved communities continue to wait for the connectivity they were promised. Under your leadership, not a single person has been connected to the internet using the $42.45 billion allocated for the BEAD program. Indeed, Politico recently reported on "the messy, delayed rollout of" this program.

Instead of focusing on delivering broadband services to unserved areas, your administration has used the BEAD program to add partisan, extralegal requirements that were never envisioned by Congress and have obstructed broadband deployment. By imposing burdensome climate change mandates on infrastructure projects, prioritizing government-owned networks over private investment, mandating the use of unionized labor in states, and seeking to regulate broadband rates, your administration has caused unnecessary delays leaving millions of Americans unconnected.

The administration's lack of focus on truly connecting the unconnected has failed the American people and represents a gross misuse of limited taxpayer dollars.

The American public deserves better.

I'd rather not put a spin on any of this. The fact of the matter is, no one, or very few are going to be happy about "paying for the sins of their fathers" or grandfathers, or great grandfathers." This is true of anything, not just slavery.

It is what it is.

You have to get a majority of people to change this with some sort of popular movement. That doesn't appear to be a valid concern besides the people who keep pointing out one group or other keeps pushing for it.

As an Italian-American whose 8 great-grandparents emigrated to the US from Southern Italy and Sicily in the period between 1890 and 1910, I am as close to 100% certain my ancestors never owned any slaves, and am 100% certain my ancestors never owned slaves anywhere in the New World. This makes me an ideal candiate for President!

Vote for Geno!
Italy ranks pretty high in numbers of people in slavery *today* so I think you need to drop the Italian Connection on this

Why do you think great-grandpa and great-grandma came to America?They were part of the tired, the poor and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free!

This whole topic is just ridiculous.

So now I, and Italian-American, born and raised in the USA and who has ever been to Italy once 24 years ago, is responsible for the social ills in Italy today? Just ridiculous.

Turns out the US ranks WORSE than Italy on the slavery index:

Hamilton Brown was a slave-trader also, which is in a different category, similar to a drug pusher relative to a drug addict.

I don't agree with your first bullet.

I think the key for Harris, if she wants to be a true leader, is to make amends for her family, preferably in a formal press release.

She could donate 1/3 of her salary for the rest of her life to those her family offended.
