    “Remember when Democrats advocated for working-class Americans?

    My maternal relatives were all Irish Catholic Democrats in decades past. They were deeply conservative in their personal lives and social views, and concurrently deeply committed to the party of John F. Kennedy and Tip O’Neill.

    Those days now seem like an era of antiquity compared to the radical, even Marxist, Democratic Party of the 2020s. The Biden-Harris Democrats push secular humanist ideology while acting fully in concert with the economic ruling class of America, all at the cavalier expense of middle- and lower-income citizens.

    This observation is not merely my opinion, but rather the widespread view of working-class Americans…


    …On the other side of the economic ledger, the credentialed elites of America grow downright ebullient with their circumstances, the direction of the country, and Biden’s job performance. The Wall Street Journal highlighted this massive chasm in sentiment in a recent Kimberley Strassel column, “The US vs. Them Election.”

    To paraphrase F. Scott Fitzgerald, the rich in America in 2024 are very different from the masses, and not just in bank account size, but also in worldview. Strassel cites polling from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity of citizens with incomes above $150,000 per year and advanced graduate degrees who live in high-density metro areas. A stunning 84% approve of Biden’s job performance in the White House.

    In addition, 74% of those highly credentialed voters said their finances are getting better, compared to only 20% of non-elites…

    The democrat party has abandoned the working class. They never liked the middle class. They are now the establishment party of the top in corporate, media, entertainment, academic worlds and are concentrated in urban areas on the east and west coast. They are the elites and allied with the dependent class.

    They are no secular progressive and have abandoned God too and turned on believers who support heartland middle America traditional values. Biden is their front man going beyond what Obama did before him.

    Hmmm Looks like Trump is losing ALL demographic groups. I guess that means that even the ELITES don't believe that a dictator would be good for business DESPITE all the tax cuts they would get. So we welcome their vote. Don't expect tax cuts, though.

    LOL! Biden didn't give the elites unpaid-for tax cuts, no, that was Trump. And, remember, the tax cuts for the corps don't expire, but the ones for you and me do.

    Of course, Trump is one of the elite himself. How he has convinced blue collar workers to do the bidding for him is unclear to me. He'd never get his $1000 shoes dirty in a factory or on a Midwestern farm. Yet, supposedly he is one of them....

    You guys keep pushing this "dictator" fantasy but he was already President for 4 years. What dictator level things did he do? There's a difference between 2016 and now. Since he's already been in the oval office for that long, you can no longer make up fantasy scenarios of what he'll do with the nuclear buttons if he gets in a bad mood one day or doesn't like someones tweet. Sorry! You HAD that advantage but that advantage went buh-byes!!

    This was before his ego was crushed in 2020 and he went off the deep end. All bets are off now. The man is unhinged and combined with his developing cognitive decline, it's a recipe for disaster. But you already know that and don't care.

    Ever hear of January 6!

    Yeah... in 2016 he didn't know how to become a dictator. So he failed. Now he knows enough to correct his mistakes.

    In the present spending bill:

    Trump wants funding for the wall, and Biden wants funds for the wars.

    When I see Biden on TV, I see a guy who is out to screw me. That’s the way I feel.

    Yes, I agree. I was PO’d that Trump put a sunset clause on his tax cuts for individuals and not corporations.

    As for not getting his shoes dirty, it was my understanding that his relations with the blue collar construction works in his building projects were quite good.

    And as for “Midwestern farms,” it’s your party that is thrusting them with high inheritance taxes that can break up family farms. One of you far left breatheran, on these boards, called for confiscatory inheritance taxes. The result of that would be that big corporations, and probably the Chinese, would end up with most of the farmland.

    Bribed Joe did. He got fried chicken for the black folks and a hamburger for him.

    Bribed Joe's FBI spies on Catholics and does armed raids on Catholics that pray outside of abortion clinics. And here you are defending his lawless abuse of his authority.

    It doesn't look to me like the spin jobs are working on the American People as well as they used to.

    Bribed Divisive Abusive Joe is now 10.3 points behind last cycle. Clearly more Americans realize that they have a perfectly good president running for re-election, so why vote for the Bribed Farce who is too demented to be charged for his serial espionage?

    There is a good chance Trump will continue to pull ahead as
    the public begins to understand the problem isn't just Bidden
    (does as he is bidden) but the entire Biden Administration

    And a lot of other people inside the beltway.

    No one in the country is more "elite" and disdainful of others than Trump.

    I call bee ess on your ridiculous claims about Democrats and the working class. Which president joined a picket line? Hint: it wasn't Trump ... he met with with a group of scabs.

    Yeah, right.

    Devout Catholic Joe Biden Gives Up Cognitive Tests For Lent

    "I love being Catholic, I've been a devout member of the church my entire life, from when I was a boy and my dad used to take me to mass and the guys were there, you know…the guys?" Biden commented to reporters this week. "Anyway, I've decided for Lent I'm going to give up taking those tests…uhhhh….you know the ones…the tests that help tell if I'm…cognithurbitubathghhhhh…you know the ones."

    [​IMG]

    'At publishing time, Biden had announced he was also considering giving up talking in coherent sentences, walking in a straight line, and taking live, unscripted questions from the press as part of Lent to show his deep love for the Catholic church.'

    Can't get more devout than that! No wonder the privileged elite are so pleased with Bribed Demented Joe.

    Exactly. Incompetence aplomb was a significant factor in their failure.

    American Conservatives have abandoned the teaching of Christ. They are no longer Christians. End of story.

    Well expressed.

    ACF American Christian Fundamentalism can be described in either of two ways,
    it is Christianity reinforced at the points where the liberals were reinterpreting it,
    and claiming that without these points it isn't true Christianity. That is one
    narrative, and hardly anyone would deny that our Bible has lots of metaphors.

    The other and I suspect more applicable narrative is that ACF is a reductionist
    cut down religion that isn't much use to anybody. Certain bits have been
    accentuated (the five Fundamentals) and therefore the other parts have
    been de emphasized.

    The development of ACF was funded by an oil company so I tend to believe
    the second narrative, that the morality has been de-emphasized and the salvation
    emphasized.

    You want conspiracy theories -- I think Biden has a lot of dirt on a lot of people and that is how he rose to the top and stays in power. It's the elite trio who has the power -- Joe, Jill, and Hunter.
