RE: NY City. Adams dropped out and Kathy Hochul then endorsed Mamdani last night. Of course the mantra is to "stand up" against Donald Trump. I think we can see what the midterms will be about.

"New York City deserves a mayor who will stand up to Donald Trump and make life more affordable for New Yorkers. That’s @ZohranKMamdani," New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Sunday evening in a social media post.
TDS.

President Trump does not make his principal residence in NYC.

Tax purposes it's Florida.

Although he has many properties he can utilize !

Welp. I’ve always watched the SB halftime show. Not this year.


Most years they hang a packet under each seat with various goodies !

One year a goodie was one of those light sticks that if you break the seal it lights up. The entire second half they were stopping the game for the grounds crew to pick up thrown lit sticks on the field !

That used to be one of the rotating jobs (UNPAID !) at my school, Thompson Academy on Thompson's Island, Boston.

Laundry, kitchen, dairy farm, grounds, boat, boiler tenders that the students would rotate out of about once a month.
So you would have hirable skills after high school.

Every M - F, 6 kids worked the laundry. Either the wash or drying of all the laundry. 4 - 6 guys would have ironing of 6 - 8 shirts a day, with steam irons, ironing boards, damp shirts and hung on hangers when done. Collars, shoulders, sleeves 1/2 or full, back, front, pallet & button holes, touch up hang, next !
High schools don’t do enough of that today. Too busy pushing them toward college and/or too many other classes for indoctrination.

She endorsed Mamdani a few weeks back.

Here is a dipsh!t spreading lies that antifa isn’t an organization. It is not a large, centralized organization. Neither are most terror organizations, which have loosely affiliated groups…just like antifa.


It is only a matter of time until Jeff finds a study that ignores leftwing violence while assigning any violence not politically defined to the right. He will insist we ignore our lying eyes to his fake study. He is very smart.

I post from reputable sites such as Gallup and Cato. Most of the others post from Gateway Pundit, Rob S., James Woods and others of similar ilk. Yet I am the one posting fake news. The only thing fake about what I post is based on your biased pro-Trump perspective.

No, I actually pointed out the obvious flaws as spelled out by a left leaning AI product. You ignored it as you are up the rear of the "Orange Man Bad" media. 🐑

Rasmussen is that one of your favorites ?

Should be !

This is why I think politics will continue to be divided. You think I am being fooled by the media because I don't like Trump and I think MAGA is so devoted to Trump that they are blind to the truth.

I don't think you are being fooled by the media. Do I think you are a fool? No comment. Do I believe you when you say you were a Reagan Conservative? No, you are totally lying about that. Would you vote for RDS or JD? Hell no. Are you for a clean spending bill or a bill that adds 1.5 in debt? You obviously want more debt.
Are you blinded by hatred of Trump? Completely blinded and hysterical. MAGA will long outlast Trump. As noted by others, at the Charlie Kirk memorial, Trump was but a prominent speaker. The future is bright for MAGA.

Bill Clinton 1992/1996 has a conservative agenda in 2024.

Look at history, populism never lasts. Without Trump, there will be no MAGA, All the rest of MAGA politicians are just politicians who are elites or who are backed by elites with the occasional nutjob thrown in. Trump was an outsider and was not involved in politics until he ran for president. That is what made him unique. Nobody else can sell themselves as an outsiders, they are just part of the swamp.

Finally, nobody will have the control over the MAGA party like Trump did. Republicans will no longer be threatened with being "primaried" because only Trump can define what MAGA represents. You think JD Vance will have the same stature in MAGA as Trump? Dream on.

I’m not going to go back read something, but if there was irony/sarcasm involved, I didn’t see a ladder.
I did go back and read again the article.

It says that 2 days AFTER returning from that ratings bump, he had LOST 64 % of that audience !

Gee whiz, the Train and his fellow deranged insist 2020 was totally legit. Here’s an illegal leading a major school district, making 300k, and registered as a Democrat since 2012. Shocker.

Sure buddy. Remember, when Trump was winning the R primary in 2024 when you and others said he wrecked the party and couldn't win the GE. You probably don't want to cop to this, but the Dems have jumped the rails and are now mostly led by radicals.

Remember when an AOC, Kamala or a Bernie were considered far left and couldn't win the Dem primary? Well, those days are long gone.

The left is now becoming more violent for everyone to see. A lot of that highly visible violence stems from some not very popular leftwing positions like illegal immigration and Trans. How do you think the voting public is liking that?

Frankly, some streaming service/cable TV channel should provide an alternate halftime show and see how many people they can pull. If they picked a country artist like Ella Langley or Lainey Wilson (she is excellent live in concert) I bet it would humble the NFL.
