What a time we're living in

 I'm sorry to not have written a whole lot on this blog after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump and all the developments during the Republican nat'l convention to now.

We can start with Trump has a running mate US Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH). And the Dems with their own changes since the Republican convention had started referring to him as "weird".

Pres. Joe Biden dropped out of his re-election campaign after the GOP Nat'l Convention. It's very likely almost certain that his Vice President Kamala Harris will replace Pres. Biden at the top of the Democrat ticket. 

VP Harris will soon appoint her own running mate  and one candidate under consideration is my Governor J.B. Pritzker. The Democrat nat'l convention is coming to Chicago this month and most are predicting it will be chaotic inside and outside.

Other possible candidates for the Democrat nomination for Vice President include Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY), Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN).

Mark Dice did a video about this recently. VP Harris did a rally in ATL this week and one of the acts that were there were Megan the Stallion and her entourage. Megan was probably the draw to this rally that appeared to be very packed. [VIDEO]

BTW, nice dig from Dice as they introduced the Vice President and it appears it was a moment before she got on stage. I will admit I have yet to see raw footage from the rally just to be sure how long it took for her to get onto stage.

VP Harris is being marketed as a "cultural icon". She's the best thing since sliced bread. And I already know how she could possibly attack Trump it's to utilize her identity as a woman or as a Jamaican-Indian. She's going to use her identity as a Woman of Color.

Nevermind that she's part of a horrible administration the Biden/Harris administration. Out of control inflation (grocery prices very high), a border crisis which has sent migrants to these blue sanctuary cities. And allow me to add VP Harris is the border tsar and they're trying to forward the narrative that she never was. Even if NBC News anchor Lester Holt tried to query her about going to the border and she just laughed awkwardly when he tried to press her.

I wanted to add this segment from Matt Walsh. How to counteract the use of celebrities by one side of the aisle in politics. [VIDEO]

A good answer is that you don't. Especially if this other celebrity doesn't have the reach that left-wing celebrities do. You can't play the game of, "hey look I got a rapper too".

You got to challenge these politicians on policy. That's the best way. However, my concern is that no one really thinks in term of policy. Can you really convince people to vote for you based on your policies?

I don't know. Most voters seem to make up their minds on candidates and there isn't a rhyme or reason. I might vote based on policy. I might vote based on who's running. As much as I wish people were with me on certain positions or candidates, in reality people do what they think makes the most sense to them.

Allow me to add, 2020 was such an odd year and thankfully we a far cry from the pandemic, the race riots err sorry civil unrest, the anxiety, being shut-in at home, kids not going to school, most of the economy shut down, etc. There were people who thought Trump needed to go in 2020, and yes we could say there was some cheating going on that enabled Joe Biden to be elected the 46th POTUS.

I'm a long way from saying that I know what's going to happen in November. Time will tell if VP Harris starts to implode in her attempt to become America's first female POTUS. Will this seemingly manufactured enthusiasm be sustained into November?
