"The world forces us to the fringes, but Jesus invites us
to the middle"

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/02/us/donald-trump-billy-graham-protestantism.html

Charismatic dictators - Stalin, Hitler, Putin -   have
always found ambitious theologians who would supply
theology to meet the political moment.

The electoral college wasn't just about protecting the
southern slavery-based aristocracy.   It more generally
protected the ruling class from the masses.

Protecting the masses from the selfish whims of the ruling
class came later.

Jimmy Carter has made it to 100.    Is being a one-term
president due to an election loss is good for your health?
Or is teaching Sunday School good for your health?
Walz taught public school, while Trump mainly teaches by
example -

The Trump shooter had no discernible political bias.

Reality:

https://www.arcamax.com/politics/opeds/s-3333310

Unlike 1930's Europe, in 21st century America, the
organized invocation and execution of violence is a
particularly right-wing phenomenon.

"the fight for abortion rights placed Harris in a role,
prosecuting the case against Republicans, that is familiar
and comfortable to the former courtroom litigator"

https://www.bostonherald.com/2024/07/22/mark-z-barabak-democratic-hopes-now-rest-on-kamala-harris-is-the-vice-president-up-to-the-job/

Is that enough?   All she has to do is turn 100,000 votes -
and keep them.

How many politicians would you trust to put the good
of the world, or the country, or the party, over their
personal ambition?      Besides Washington and Cincinnatus?

How well did 14 years of conservative rule satisfy England?

https://apnews.com/article/cryptocurrency-technology-business-bitcoin-3b94bc0656a60a7b65fe532112c3279f

The ruling class was mostly pleased, but they didn't
spend enough to brainwash the masses that they were better
off too.

Unsuccessful assassination attempts appear to be good for
Wall Street!

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/stock-market-today-stocks-rise-dow-eyes-fresh-record-as-bets-on-trump-ramp-up-133046107.html

Do traders assume more losers will be wanting assault
weapons while they are still legal, so they can go for
the gold whenever they need a lift?

The Trump shooter was  likely just another loser who
didn't want to die forgotten.  Gaining immortality by
killing a leader is rational.    The obscene sin is the
glorification of fame, power, and wealth - "winning is
the only thing".

Trump doesn't want to pick a VP until he knows who he's
running against -

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/04/us/politics/trump-vice-president.html

The Democrats' best bet might be to argue inconclusively
until Trump makes his call.     After all their convention
is after Trump's and they can react accordingly.

The American Enterprise Institute is no hotbed of
liberalism, but they do not cater to all the single-issue
Trump constituencies.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/06/24/trump-school-vaccination-mandate-covid/

Trump tries to have it both ways - red meat for his base,
but more reasonable for swing voters.

After a career in politics, right or wrong means winning
or losing.    Forget your voters and megadonors and you're
soon out of a job.

Abbott has more white racist supporters than black activist
supporters.
