As a 24 year old, I’m literally sick over the state of our country. Idk how people are ok to sit back and let this continue?! How is anyone (1) affording life and (2) actually thinking they want 4 more years of this?!🤯 Jessica you’re literally the only thing giving me ANY semblance of sanity or hope when it comes to politics rn. 🥲🥲🥲

She is! The problem is the media and the polls are dictating otherwise. How do we get out of that cycle of info which is captured by the media which in turn governs the polls. That is for me the major concern today as we march towards 5th Nov. We DON’T want another 4 years of this. We have been lied to daily, they have destroyed our livelihoods with Covid and then have gaslighted us about the state of Joe Biden as our President, why would we trust The Democrats again going forward. We can’t and must not, vote right this time!

Skinny - all of you have a choice. Why do you allow yourselves to get caught up in all this bullshit? Walk away - get rid of your TV ditch the damn cell phones. None of this serves any purpose. All of you are enablers. I don't vote never have nor ever will. The system is a joke, completely corrupt. Instead, year after year after year people go back, thinking you really are going to make a difference. Don't complain your the ones who keep supporting this ruse. Newsflash there is no such thing as an honest politician and/or election. As long as people keep supporting and enabling it, of course it will never change. A politician is akin to a rapist it's all about power and control. The lowest form of life on planet earth.

🥲🥲All true BJ. We all are getting our just rewards now. I cannot not vote. I’m part of the system, have to believe in my heart I can make a difference, even if the Democrats continue to rig our vote and weaponize our justice system. We have to stand tall, strong and united to make America a better place. God Bless🇺🇸

I must respectfully disagree - you're enabling them.

Think of it like this 40% vote Dem while 40% vote Rep - canceling each other votes out. Subtract 3 % for margin of error and if only 10% boycotted voting it really would make a difference.

They are just puppets being controlled/compromised by very high levels and most likely always have been! The fact that people are hoping for a messiah is rather foolhardy.

So you whine but don't show up to change the policies you whine about.

The Progressive women who trained me in Public Policy would have a blast with you.

The political system in this Country is one of the worst and most corrupt in the entire world. Why in Gods name would every support and enable that? One of the greatest farces ever told is that voting matters. Do you have any idea just how rampant voter fraud actually is? Read John Funds books. The innumerable ways - not only the illegals voting but the machines and who purchases them. The list of fraud is almost infinite. Do you really honestly believe politicians have control over anything? There's more than ample reason trust in Government is at it's all time lowest - less than 20% but God Bless you to keep believing. When enough people finally walk away only then will you see real change. There's also more than ample reason why we are now on the precipitance of civil war in this Country. "The economy, stupid" is a term James Carville coined but now is "The corruption, stupid".

Even if the system is corrupt (which it totally is) the moment we quit using our voice, stop voting, we finally and quite fatefully, hand over any last right of freedom. Going off grid and disappearing does nothing. We have to stand together to fight the corruption, not disappear, not walk away. Walking away from a bully never stopped a bully. People standing up against corruption IS making a difference. It always will make a difference. You’re right, the system is a joke. But we cannot walk away.

I agree! I was so blessed with a passionate Civics and US history teacher and he totally changed my view of the need of the younger generation to care and to contribute. I’m so passionate about it and yeah it’s crazy discouraging to feel like it doesn’t matter. But I refuse to settle for that because that’s exactly what the corrupt leaders want. They want us to believe the ONE is not important, can’t make a difference, doesn’t matter. But if a million and one stand together, change will come. Freedom and liberty will prevail. 🤎

Midwest mom here with one observation re JD Vance. I lived in CA most of my life, also in TX and Chicago, now in Michigan. JD Vance happens to look and speak like many midwestern men, most with happy wives. Most of my non CA friends don’t have much of an issue with him. It seems like most of the noise comes from the media and ladies from the coasts with less “meat and potatoes” like husbands. Most moms I talk to are concerned about the border/economy and his awkward comments about cat ladies isn’t going to change their vote from Trump. My dem friends dont seem motivated to vote at all.

Expand full comment

The issues with JD Vance are manufactured by the media and parasites like Chuck Schumer. They're terrified of a hillbilly who represents the American dream and is happily married to a successful, accomplished Brown Immigrant who cherishes her role as wife and mother. Politics is a dirty industry!

But how do we tune out the media?

Expand full comment

Select a few channels/individuals to follow - Progressives and Conservatives - you'll find the truth is in the middle. Most of the time when they're hyperfocused on destroying an individual, as directed by the establishment of both parties, dig into their past and you'll most likely find out that the person is a problem for the establishment.

JD Vance is a great example and now Kennedy puppets like Whitney Webb are focused on PeterThiel because Thiel funded JD. Thiel funds populists - both party establishments hate real populists. Whitney is on Kennedy's CHD payroll and returned to the US to attend CHD & Bitcoin events with RFK Jr. - thus her hit pieces on Thiel. Her intentions are obvious, she's lost credibility for her actions.

And keep in mind that most Trump supporters don't participate in polls, we reject national polls.

JD Vance was regurgitating the crap he was hearing from the media, as have millions around the world.

I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 Primary, he wasn't my first choice. I was listening to the media, too lazy to do my own research. Voted for him after the Primaries. I understand JD's pivot because I did the same thing. That's how politics works, like life - you pivot.

I grew up in the Midwest, I’m almost 70 years old and I know men like JD Vance and I know the women that appear to be happy with men like JD Vance. You’re unfortunately right that most of these women won’t change their mind because of the cat lady comments. But the tide is turning, the women that follow their men do so because they are scared of them and they’re getting tired of it. Don’t underestimate the strength of these women who are tired of being subservient to their so-called man the way their mother and grandmother did. It’s not 1965 anymore.

The cat lady comments are a nothing burger, I know many women who fit that description - they're Bitter Bettys. I'm amused by men who are offended by JD speaking the truth about these women, many of them wore pink pussy hats and marched after Trump was elected, screaming about losing their rights -it was one of the most idiotic movements I've witnessed in my lifetime.

The Midwestern women in my family are the toughest kick ass women I know, they love their husbands and are CEO of their households. Some were raising kids in the 70s - their relationships with their husbands have remained strong - it's a partnership. They've raised strong daughters and sons.

Frank Luntz the pollster said that Republicans should be asking the opposition what if anything has Harris accomplished as VP - and that alone would win the election for Trump. She's done nothing. Harris is a chameleon, she blows with the wind. She does not have a strategic understanding of world events. It would be absolutely frightening should she become President.

Sounds like you're reading from DNC talking points, which begs the question: Is anything you're saying true? I have a close friend who was a Deputy AG when Kamala was in office, and all Kamala was interested in was what the press was saying about her. One of the main responsibilities of the Attorney General is to approve files developed by the DOJ's various departments which recommended prosecutions of law-breakers. All she had to do was review the files, and either approve or disapprove them going to trial. She was too interested in reading her press clippings rather than the case files put together by her deputies. Whatever her Department of Justice was able to do to prosecute evil doers, was done by Deputies who where able to successfully make their cases, and then (let's remember) they, not her, prosecuted the cases. Your post attempts to make her look like a genius, and we all know that's not the case.

Maybe don’t get your news from CNN?

Their job includes: president of the senate, presiding over impeachment trials, presiding over electoral votes and being a successor to the president. That’s it. That’s the job.

Now, there are several informal things that they do as well. Making public appearances, performing ceremonial duties, meeting with heads of state. ( all of these things are if the president can’t be there, the VP represents the president ) so, she has done all those things. She’s met with over 150 world leaders, she has taken the lead on several critical issues. Reproductive freedom being at the forefront. Also voting rights

“I’ve done my part, but I’m wondering now like many of you, what his end goal is. Where do we go from here?” I trust in RFK Jr., keep the faith alive Jessica this country needs you!

Also, I’m surprised you believe the bogus polling data. I’m sure you must’ve seen how pollsters omit RFK Jr, from the question, but list Stein and West, it’s absurd.

I have an idea. RFK Jr., should promise to endorse him, if a poll in October of 2024 indicates he has no path to the presidency (like the “pledge” he offered to Biden), BUT, in exchange, Trump must agree to have RFK on the debate stage, and debate him at least three times (ABC, Fox, and a 3rd debate, at the bare minimum).

RFK Jr., can then factually disassemble Kamala’s lies during the debates, so Trump doesn’t have to. They both hurt Kamala.

It also gives RFK a shot.

But if it’s true that he remains a long-shot AFTER the debates, in October, he can throw his support behind Trump.

His campaign has tremendous momentum. He has submitted enough signatures to be on the ballot in 42 states. Just 8 more + DC to go, and four of those deadlines are this week. Over 100K volunteers are shifting their efforts from gathering signatures to door knocking, phone banking, tabling, texting, bannering, etc.

He just held a campaign update that had over 509K live views on X plus several thousand more in the zoom. There is a lot of excitement in the air. I wish you could feel it!

I'm pretty sure he said he has enough signatures now to get on the ballot in all 50 states + DC.

He will soon! You can see the progress here: https://www.kennedy24.com/ballot-access

Four more deadlines are this week, and that should bring him to enough to exceed 500 electoral votes. Then just four more states that require signatures (MS) that doesn't.

That video - Roseanne’s face is priceless & frankly I couldn’t love him more after that story ... he has a bit of what we call the Larrikin ( 🇦🇺 ) about him, charming, handsome, funny with just a hint of rebel bad boy

The corporate media and the DNC will say and do ANYTHING to prevent the People from understanding the tremendous force of the Kennedy for President Campaign.

The Robert F. Kennedy, Jr campaign held a Zoom meeting tonight which also streamed on X. The invitation was sent out to all 115,000 volunteers and over 1.3 million people watched it on X. This campaign is unprecedented in American history. Truly a campaign by and for The People. Over 1.3 MILLION people were able to watch this live on X. Imagine a campaign where everyone gets an opportunity to hear directly from the candidates, from the senior campaign staff, even ask them questions! This is what DEMOCRACY is all about. Join this incredible movement to unite the country and elect the first Independent President since George Washington! Here’s a Youtube recording for those who missed it:

https://www.youtube.com/live/3EtnVtG03NM…

Try to imagine for ONE MOMENT, Kamala Harris in negotiations with Putin, or Xi - It's a frightening thought! Robert F Kennedy Jr. has been preparing his entire life for that. He understands geopolitics. He understands history. He understands strategic ambiguity. Harris has demonstrated that she's totally unprepared for the job. She has accomplished NOTHING and failed to improve ANYTHING in our crisis at the Southern Border. She is a puppet of the corporate military industrial complex and Big Pharma.

America is coming together and bridging the divide that the Uniparty of the Democrats and Republicans have relied upon to win elections. Americans will not stand for this anymore. We have the ability to come together in ways other Independent candidate never could. Join this incredible effort to take back our country by visiting www.kennedy24.com and join us!

Thank you Glenn. Reading this substack had me wondering why do people not recognize the red and blue are corporations and not 2 unpopular people. A VP who has no policies on her website, and, well I’m from the NY area, so I won’t comment on the x president.

The zoom tonight was the most politically inspiring event, about the most inspiring candidate since RFK Sr. Proud to have been a part of it with people who have open hearts and minds. Revolution may have started in the sixties but the results are coming in November.

I predict that RFK JR will support Trump, family aside BECAUSE, he’s willing to “pay the price” for THIER/OUR FREEDOM….🤷🏻‍♀️🙏

Expand full comment

I was hoping for some kind of entwined fantasy political hook up between the two when RFK showed up in Milwaukee.

But.

He will never endorse Trump. It’s not in his DNA.

He can go Independent, but his buses and boats stop at the red line.

But we ARE ON THE LINE sadly…. So who knows. I look at Trump like a Dr who can save my LIFE. I don’t have to like him, I don’t have to like his bedside manner…. Just SAVE my LIFE/COUNTRY.

An interesting way to put it! Don't have to like him or his bedside manner...

Why aren't you putting your support behind RFK Jr? He's someone who can save this country AND you can like him.

Expand full comment

I DO like him actually, but I think his chances are weak, so I will vote for Trump. It angers me what’s been done to RFK JR., perhaps IF Trump wins, SOME ARRESTS WILL BE MADE?

Cooked polls. In the national Zoom meeting hosted by the RFK Jr. campaign this evening (Sunday), it was reported that when voters are asked, "If your sole vote could decide the 2024 Presidential election, who would you vote for?" Kennedy wins plurality of responses. If people would stop breathing all the gaslighting fumes pumped out by the MSM and voted for the candidate they really want, Kennedy would win.

I wish his wife could see past her disdain for Trump and allow him to join up.

And this is my concern with him. I agree with some of what RFK Jr says/does. I am Conservative, but not "hard right", so was interested & intrigued by some of what he had to say in the beginning. However, it was always in the back of my mind that he was a Democrat with just a few policy ideas I agreed with. I feel my thoughts were confirmed after the Left started calling for Biden to withdraw. Someone asked RFK Jr who he thought they'd pick to replace him, his response was something like "Hello, I am right here!". After they chose KH I heard him say something close to "Hey, I gave them my number, they knew I was available". I will not vote for anyone who is willing to align themself with the party that put us through the last 3 1/2 years.

You should probably clean your crystal ball because there is no chance RFK Jr will support Trump. It amazes me how so many people assume Trump would win and RFK would lose. Maybe Trump should consider being second to RFK. Except I don't think RFK would go for that, he's too classy.

Wow, that was a whirlwind column! Still don’t you think it could be a uni-party and we’re all being played?

Expand full comment

We had the uni party pre 2016 Tov and that was a proper shit show. The most stability we had worldwide was from 2016-2020. I don’t need to tell you or anybody who was the President then. We need to get back to that again it’s our last chance vote like your life depends on it.

Yes things appeared a lot better. However, whomever or whatever is Iin charge at the highest level will most likely put into position a controlled puppet to further the goals of depop and enslavement.

Probably, although I trust Trump slightly more than Mrs Harris. President Trump was fantastic for Israel in his term. Israel is in a shambles in no way thanks to Biden/Harris administration. They have got to go!

Not right now. There couldn’t be clearer divisions and the fact that our country will either stay in its current relatively free state, or dissolve into Communism. The fast track has been laid down. Only God working in and through the maze can stop the wreckage. And yes, He uses the “ordinary” stuff of people, debates, rallies, voting.

What’s happening that you think is leaning toward Communism ?

Expand full comment

Massive media censorship!!

Gaslighting. At. Every. Turn.

Lying. At. Every. Turn.

Erasing our history.

Trying to kill us w shots, poisonous water, food, and skies.

Propping up a sick demented president- continuously telling us he was full of vim and vigor- lying about it (ongoing)

Attempted inside job of the assassination of a former president, currently running again.

J6 prisoners held without trial

dates, in solitary, subjected to cruel punishments. Illegals committing crimes and being let loose in streets.

Wide OPEN borders for a coming hellish free for all from terror cells. They’re here- patiently waiting.

Illegals getting free food/ housing/ health care/ phones… driver’s licenses and the abilities to vote.

Overall crime rate skyrocketing- govt wants to remove innocent citizen’s rights to defend themselves.

The whole “situation” with Kamala- a fool with no smarts, charisma or public speaking ability- propped up

and apparently going to be protected by and with teleprompters..

Moral rot and mockery of a holy God- which is THE historical tactic of an individual’s communist manifesto.

These are just the highlights.

I was born in a Communist shithole. You've done a great job defining the Communist blueprint we're following- which was started by Barack Obama. Who brought us Obama's three terms? RFK Jr.!

Kamala Harris is another puppet for the deep state. With less than (4) months, they have completely flipped her platform to ensure a vote. The media is compromised and complicit in pushing disinformation. What this administration has done to our mental health, our trust, and our security is criminal. Makes you wonder what is coming... and there is something coming.
