‘Word salad’ versus ‘the Weave’

Original Article

Posted By: Judy W., 10/30/2024 5:49:57 AM

One of my main takeaways from the Joe Rogan interview was a greater appreciation for Donald Trump’s unique rhetorical style, which he has recently referred to as “the weave.” It is diametrically opposed to Kamala Harris’s style, which some have described as “word salad” but I prefer to call “vapid filibustering”—vapid because it’s meaningless and filibustering because it’s both incessant and designed to forestall further discussion. With the obviously senile Joe Biden out of the race, the legacy media has taken to implying that Trump’s “meandering” or “rambling” way of speaking somehow shows that he, too, is “losing it.” But (Snip) that is far from the truth.

Kamala reminds me of the Peter Principle, that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to "a level of respective incompetence"; most likely because she is a woman, Blackish, and she learned how to "cozy up" to people. Superiors along the way in her career bumped her up the ladder. Her self evaluation was likely that she deserved those promotions. Her Superiors probably knew her limitations and sheltered her to protect themselves from her potential mistakes. The real evaluation was when she ran for President, didn't measure up, and had to drop out very early. But she was rescued when Biden needed a VP who didn't make him look like a fool. Kamala knew how to play that game. She also didn't have the capability to outshine the doltish, semi senile Biden. Now Kamala has to stand up alone. She is FAR from capable enough to do so. There is no one she can play up to to help her along. BTW, standing alone is the definition of President, THE Chief Executive and Commander in Chief. The "Buck stopping here" and other similar idioms. Kamala is nowhere near qualified for the job. Dems think that is OK because, like for Biden, the bureaucracy can function with a brainless President. That's not how things are supposed to work, Constitutionally, but hey, they moved Kamala in as their candidate outside of normal procedures. As long as dems get what the want, law is not required.

I have always said Donald Trump was a lousy speaker. He is no rhetorical speaker, but he is a great leader he has a record as a great President , and he will make America great again or die trying. He loves America as i do, and if anyone can do it he can. He is going to be downgraded and insulted and slurred by the media every day and he still is willing to face that for America.

The author makes excellent points. Harris is a vapid idiot, Trump is a deep and wide thinker.

In a rational world, we would all condemn and despise Nazism. In the same rational world, we would all condemn and despise Communism. You know what would also be despised? Falsely comparing people to Hitler (Snip) We live in one where a third disastrous totalitarian ideology which has killed more people than Nazism and Communism combined and which has been killing people since the 7th century AD is protected and respected. At least 250 million people (some estimates are much higher) have been killed through history as a direct consequence, at the command of, Islam. But that one we are told to respect as a great world religion.

He is seizing his opportunity, as Washington did on J6 and Justin did with the Canadian truckers. You know how that worked out for law-abiding grannies on their first trip to America's capital, or for prairie donors who'd dropped fifty bucks via credit card on the Ottawa convoy. And you know how muted public protest about anything has been in either country since. Yeah. Frozen bank accounts and solitary confinement will do that to you.

Since the Democrats have not disbanded the criminal wing of their party, we have to assume they are going to try the same tricks they used to ‘fortify’ the 2020/2 elections and then some. Election theft is an anti-story, which is to say, if you are employed by Baghdad Bob, (Sundance’s name for the corporate media), if you mention suspicions, you are not only fired, you are blacklisted for all time. Driven out of the cult, and mocked. If you type the word: D*m*nion, a bot picks you up and down-ranks your post or story. The absence of the legacy media means that citizens have stepped up.

Some people here in Israel are reportedly crying tears of joy over the killing by the Israel Defence Forces of the Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in the Rafah area of Gaza yesterday. Others are jubilant.

(Snip)Sinwar didn’t create this evil. He was the product of it, and was one of its many diabolical avatars.

Hello once again from Berlin, where I’ll be speaking today on a panel about migration and anti-Semitism. Over 2000 radical Islamists gathered in Hamburg, Germany, on Saturday to call for a caliphate and the implementation of Sharia law. In the footage from the gathering, crowds could be heard chanting Allahu Akhbar. Germany is a country in which one of the most popular political parties in the country, the right-wing AfD, is under constant surveillance by state security for supposedly being an extremist threat to German democracy. And yet, in Hamburg, 2,000 Islamists rally calling for the overthrow of the state and its replacement with an Islamic religious government.

The disaster in North Carolina continues to instruct, the primary take-away being that the government is malignant beyond our imagination and people are going to have to save themselves. The Appalachias are filled with the most degraded and outcast of human ethnic groups - one of them being my aboriginal tribe, the desperate clans of the Scottish/English border - and all of them vote, over and over again, for not-socialist-oppression because the State sends its stupidest most heartless crusader lefties to “help” Appalachia, and then allows vulture-corporations to ride roughshod.

Earlier this week, there was a sound that has become all too rare. It was a western political leader expressing unequivocal moral clarity. Asked about US President Joe Biden’s opposition to Israel striking Iran’s nuclear facilities in defence against the Islamic regime’s attacks, Canada’s Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said: I think the idea of allowing a genocidal, theocratic, unstable dictatorship that is desperate to avoid being overthrown by its own people to develop nuclear weapons is about the most dangerous and irresponsible thing that the world could ever allow. If Israel were to stop that genocidal, theocratic, unstable government from acquiring nuclear weapons, it would be a gift by

Citing conventional wisdom or an "appeal to authority" will reach out and bite you every time. The proverbial "appeal to authority" in an argument only works when the "authority" is credible. The conventional wisdom that the 2024 presidential race is razor-close is based on polls. Frankly, pollsters themselves are warning us not to trust their work. “There are a lot of sh***y polls out there,” said John Anzalone, who has done polling work for Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. And, added Greg Strimple, a Republican pollster, many hardcore Donald Trump voters aren't responding to polls at all, especially online polls.

Nothing illustrates the contempt and outright hatred the government has for us than what is happening in North Carolina. FEMA has spent all its funds, all their tax money, on migrants, who, btw, are illegal economic migrants.

Below are five news nuggets that will make your blood boil. *CNN “reporter” Elle Reeve recently asked a boat-owning Trump supporter why he was so concerned about the economy. The clear inference was that he must be doing pretty well himself, so why should he care? Amazing. This doesn’t speak well of her. The boat owner gave a pretty good answer, but he should have asked CNN’s ditz: “Gee, I don’t know, why do healthy people care about health care?” *While making an appearance in a grocery store recently, Donald Trump handed a woman $100 to help pay for her groceries.

When she leaves the voting booth, her husband asks if she made the “right choice.”

President Joe Biden bizarrely bit three babies as he greeted the children of staff to his final Halloween party at the White House. Biden - infamous for his playful interaction with children at public events - also feigned fright at the creepy costumes of his young visitors alongside his wife Jill who was dressed in a full-body panda suit. The 81-year-old president was pictured biting the leg of a baby dressed as a turkey, chomping the toe of a child in an ice cream cone costume and nibbling at a third baby wearing a blue dress.

The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Virginia is entitled to remove noncitizen aliens from its voter rolls, siding with the commonwealth over lower courts less than a week out from the election. The order comes two days after Virginia attorney general Jason Miyares filed an emergency application, requesting that the Court stay an injunction that ordered Virginia to restore some 1,600 suspected noncitizens who are ineligible to vote to the state’s voter rolls. A federal appeals court upheld the injunction on Sunday, quickly prompting the attorney general to appeal to the Supreme Court.

President Trump called on a crowd of supporters to "forgive" President Biden after he compared the former president's supporters to garbage. "Wow. That's terrible," Trump said, invoking Hillary Clinton’s infamous "deplorable" remarks in the weeks before the 2016 election. "And then she said irredeemable. That didn't work out." The Republican nominee called on his supporters to forgive him during a packed rally at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. "Garbage, I think, is worse," he said. "But he doesn't know. You have to please forgive him."

They brought down Richard Nixon for crimes that were only modest by today’s inflated standards but serious at the time. They helped lose the Vietnam War – a war that was criminal, or just, depending on your view of history, but the losing of which was certainly a tragedy for the conquered South Vietnamese and most of the rest of the world.

ABC ignited a flurry of conspiracy theories after it aired what appeared to be official election results for Pennsylvania that showed Kamala Harris easily winning the key swing state — more than a week before Election Day. The shocking result popped up at the bottom of the screen during Sunday’s broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix by ABC local affiliate WNEP-TV, which services the northern part of the Keystone State. It showed the Vice President capturing 52% of the votes, compared to 47% for Republican challenger Donald Trump, with 100% of the precincts reporting.

Democrats went into damage-control mode Tuesday night due to the president’s trash talk, claiming that Biden hadn’t intended to demonize his party’s political opponents just seven days before voters head to the polls. “The President referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage,’” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has made a rare presidential endorsement just six days before the 2024 election. The former Republican Governor of California - who refused to vote for Donald Trump in 2016 - announced that he will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. In the shocking endorsement, the actor wrote: 'I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.' Despite that, the Terminator star, 77, said that it's time for the country 'to move forward', and that 'the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz'.

ABC has sparked wild conspiracy theories after mistakenly airing election results for Pennsylvania. The results appeared on the ticker along the bottom of the screen during a broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix by ABC local affiliate WNEP-TV on Sunday. It showed Kamala Harris taking the state with 52 percent of the votes, while Donald Trump's share was 47 percent. It instantly prompted claims of election rigging on social media, with one person tweeting: 'The cheat is on.' WNEP-TV said that the numbers came up on the screen in 'error' and that they had been 'randomly generated' as part of a test ahead of election night on November 5.
