Fetterman's Clarity

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 10/28/2024 9:25:08 AM

John Fetterman is the Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania who suffered a serious stroke in the course of his campaign. If he is not at the limit of his recovery he is still recovering. Yet a brain-damaged John Fetterman has distinguished himself from the Democrat pack with his undiluted support of Israel and a clearer understanding of Israel’s current ordeal than some of the speakers at President Trump’s rally last night, to take just one example close at hand. (John wrote about them in the adjacent post.) Fetterman not only cuts through the fog, he expresses himself with admirable concision, as in his interview with the left-wing writer Lulu Garcia-Navarro

Moral clarity is inspiring. Most of us could never have dreamed that Sen. Fetterman would gain our admiration and our respect--liberal Democrats don't do that very often--but that's exactly what has happened. The senator is honest and courageous. Keep standing firm, sir. (This, from a fellow stroke patient. Mine was in late 2020.)

One of an exceedingly small number of honorable Democrats who seems to have not joined the cabal of evil now owning that political organization. A welcome surprise.

Perhaps his stroke brought about an epiphany.

There is a great deal of ignorance about "strokes". Each is unique deepending upon the type of stroke - hemorrhagic or ischemic (clot) - and the area(s) affected. He sounds very clear indeed...

Perhaps but if he had a real eye opening experience. He would be supporting Trump because Trump's policies were and will be good again for all Americans.

Wow. The clarity is exhilarating! Just one example: The death of the child in the pager attack was the fault of the terrorist father who brought the evil of terrorism into the home.

A man with serious brain damage is smarter and more honest than your average democrat politician. He's a walking textbook case of the more your brain improves the more conservative you become/the less leftists you become.

GRAHAM "Dingo" Dinkelman was a renowned South African wildlife conservationist, snake handler and broadcaster. The popular YouTuber tragically passed away on October 28, 2024, following a month-long battle in hospital. His death was the result of complications from a venomous snake bite he sustained while working with reptiles, a field he was deeply passionate about.

Graham Dinkelman was born on June 15, 1980, in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. From a young age he displayed a keen interest in wildlife, particularly reptiles. He attended Maritzburg College,

There is a tide in the affairs of men, as Shakespeare said, and now, two weeks before election day, that tide has swung decisively toward Donald Trump. Forget the establishment polls. The betting sites show him leading by nearly thirty points. He’s ahead in every last battleground state, according to RCP. Embattled Democrat senatorial candidates, including Bob Casey, Sherrod Brown, Jon Tester, and Tammy Baldwin have abandoned Harris and allied themselves with Trump. Both the LA Times and WaPo have refused to endorse Harris. There are more registered GOP voters today than at any previous point in history. As for Mrs. Harris-Emhoff… well, “collapse” is the polite word.

Once upon a time, America used to have Election Day. Now we’re being threatened with Election Week. There’s no reason for it. The year is 2024. We can order a toaster and have it delivered overnight from another state. We hear about an event seconds after it happens. Yet somehow despite insane budgets, we’re told that it’s impossible to do in 2024 what we were able to do in 1944. During wartime. Election Week may have hit a bit of a snag after the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that counting mail ballots arriving after Election Day is wrong because it’s… Election Day, not Week, Month or Year. “Congress statutorily designated

Question for the American people: How well do you know Kamala Harris? We know Donald Trump extremely well. Not to wax all Eastwoodian, but when it comes to Trump, we already know the good, the bad, and the ugly. We know all about McDonald’s, the divorces, the money, the accusations, the successes, and the hair. He’s transparent. In fact, given the global population boom and the rise in alternative media, you could make a compelling argument that more content has probably been produced about Donald Trump over the past 10 years than about anyone else on the planet. And that ain’t hyperbole, folks — that’s almost certainly a fact!

The obvious disclaimer about how close this election is and not to take anything for granted aside, does anyone think Kamala Harris is on the verge of winning this election? Like, legitimately? In the past few weeks, her lead in the RealClearPolitics averages has disappeared, and Trump now has the lead in the national average. (X) Sure, the polls could be wrong like they were in 2022, but just look at the Harris-Walz campaign lately. They're enlisting celebrities to handle her final pitch and duping her supporters into thinking they're about to see a Beyoncé concert to boost attendance at her rallies. And of course,

For quite some time, Democrats have been campaigning on the idea that contrary to what Republicans have said, violent crime is down. The Biden administration is handling things and there's no reason for anyone to be concerned about being gunned down in a parking lot over their cell phone or car keys. However, that seemed to ring hollow to a whole lot of people. After all, the news reports sure don't look like violent crime is down. Yet a whole lot of people had a lot vested in telling you that it was, particularly gun control groups like Giffords. After all, President Joe Biden signed a major gun control bill into law.

A total of 194 players will be competing in this week's LPGA Qualifying Series in hopes of punching their ticket into December's final stage of qualifying school (Q-School) to earn an opportunity to earn an LPGA card. Among the nearly 200-person field is transgender golfer Hailey Davidson, whose inclusion may align with LPGA's current gender policy, but not with the vast majority of fellow competitors. Davidson advanced through the pre-qualifying stage of Q-School in August after finishing in a tie for 42nd and was allowed to do so despite more than 275 female players voicing their concerns over a biological male competing in women's golf.

The ladies of The View discussed a report that claims former President Donald Trump praised Hitler, predictably losing their minds. The topic of discussion was the released audio recordings of General John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, who claimed the former president would make positive remarks about Hitler including saying he “did some good things.” It started with Alyssa Farah Griffin, Trump’s former director of strategic communications, who can’t believe people would not believe General Kelly because he’s “a four-star general” who was “so highly regarded by everyone in Trump’s West Wing.” “I mean, I just can’t believe that for four years people have been warning about this.

The Democrats' flying monkeys in the mainstream media have been rending their garments over the way Donald Trump talks about them since he first hit the campaign trail back in 2015. They believe that he is unfair and mean to them. He is really just honest though. Most Republican politicians at the national level are timid souls who spend their professional lives cowering in fear of the MSM Dem propagandists. These GOP weaklings know that the MSM hacks deeply despise them, but still hope that they may one day get a little bit of praise from The New York Times or one of the Big Three nightly network news broadcasts.

There is a compelling reason that the Supreme Court has regularly ruled that falsehoods are protected speech. The Court openly recognizes that falsehoods can be harmful and may sometimes be quite harmful, but the Court also recognizes that efforts to determine which information is true and which is false are far more harmful to our democracy. The line between whether content can be labeled true or false, or whether it is simply viewpoint disagreement can be blurry and very much in the eye of the beholder. This is especially true of political content and policy debates. This is also the fundamental premise of the First Amendment, which protects free speech

Americans should prepare for “unrest’ if former President Donald Trump completes the greatest political comeback in modern American politics, Democrats told the Wall Street Journal on Monday. The potential for Democrats to perpetrate political violence undermines their narrative that Republicans, and especially the America First movement, are a threat to democracy. “I think there’ll be some violence. I think there’ll be workplace fights. There’ll be fights at kids’ birthday parties. I think they’ll be protests and will turn violent,” Mark Halperin recently told Tucker Carlson. Resistance groups, according to the Journal’s Joshua Chaffin and Valerie Bauerlein, believe citizens should be “bracing for unrest” if Trump wins:

Although she acknowledged the Muslim and Arab American community is not a monolithic voting bloc, Dingell argued they need to be told Trump would only be harmful to them.

The havoc wrought by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina brought disaster to homes and families, but that has not stopped Democrats from blocking the approval of emergency early voting sites in the heavily Republican area. The refusal to act forced the GOP-led state legislature to intervene.

Both counties voted for Donald Trump in 2020. “Ensuring the right to vote is upheld for western NC citizens devastated by Hurricane Helene should be a non-partisan issue,

Nothing says joy like an abortion, am I right? If you cringed reading that, take it up with Vice President Kamala Harris. On Friday, just 11 days from the election, the Democratic presidential nominee campaigned in Houston in part to boost the Democrat running for the Senate. But she wasn't here only for a Senate race.By talking about abortion and basking in the fame of a celebrity or two, Harris tried to make an example of Texas while peddling a false narrative about joy and freedom to women. I hope women see through this charade.
