Billionaires and millionaires only have one vote

All donors only have one vote in the end — and Trump small donors are leaving Biden small donors trailing in their wake B illionaires and millionaires donating large amounts to the Democratic Party hoping to see Biden beat Trump should be getting very worried. Lucia Geng  sums up their readiness to pour millions of dollars down the Democrats’ bottomless funding pit to lay the groundwork for requesting future favours from Biden and elected Democratic Party Senators, Congresspersons or even local State officials:  “Two super PAC spending titans, the Democratic  Senate Majority PAC  and GOP  Senate Leadership Fund , ended August with $85 million and $126 million cash on hand, respectively, according to Sunday’s Federal Election Commission filings. Those numbers are key because as both parties enter the home stretch of election season, a Democratic retaking of the Senate in November is seen by many as a solid possibility.  FiveThirtyEight  deemed Democrats...

Mainstream media play down Trump foreign policy successes

Mainstream media fake news will certainly continue unabated until Election Day T rump Derangement Syndrome remains the only explanation for the failure of the mainstream media to laud President Trump for his two amazing diplomatic and historic breakthroughs over the past two weeks. Serbian President Vucic and Kosovo Prime Minister Hoti signed economic normalization agreements at the White House on 4 September—whilst President Trump also announced the normalization of ties and mutual recognition between Israel and Kosovo—a majority Muslim country—and Serbia’s commitment to move its Embassy to Jerusalem.

And what President Trump did from the very beginning is say: Let’s flip it. Let’s figure out how to do economics first.

Trump is rapidly advancing peace between the Arabs and the Jews at a pace never before seen in the last 100 years. P resident Trump’s  announcement  on September 11 that Israel would shortly be signing a peace treaty with a fourth Arab State—Bahrain—and possibly several others very soon—has triggered a spiteful response from Saeb Erekat, Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). “Bahrain has agreed to join Israel and the United Arab Emirates … at the White House on Tuesday [September 15 –ed].  So they’ll be here on Tuesday for the signing of the Abraham Accords.  The significance of the signing will be elevated from an already historic breakthrough to one representing a previously unthinkable regional transformation.  And that’s exactly what it is.  It’s unthinkable that this could happen, and so fast.” Trump emphasised his considerable achievements: When I took office, the Middle East was in a state of absolute ch...

Democrats rushing to defeat in the House of Representatives

  The Democrats seem destined to squander their overwhelming control of the House of Representatives as they stumble from disaster to disaster — alienating those who had voted for them in record numbers just two years ago. T he Democrats seem destined to squander their overwhelming control of the House of Representatives as they stumble from disaster to disaster—alienating those who had voted for them in record numbers just two years ago. In the  2018 midterm elections,  the Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi, won control of the House—winning 235 seats to the Republicans 199. The Democrats gained a net total of 41 seats from the total number of seats they had won in the  2016 elections.  The 41-seat gain was the Democrats’ largest gain of House seats since the post-Watergate  1974 elections , when they picked up 49 seats. The Democrats won the popular vote by a margin of 8.6% over the Republicans—60,572,245 to 50,861,970—the largest margin on record for a party...
