I listened to the NYTimes podcast The Interview with Nancy Pelosi. It was absolutely stunning how this woman has no insight into why the Democrats lost the election. There was no introspection. Zero. She is clearly incapable of such. Her vitriol and external blaming will be counterproductive and it shows that her time has come to step aside and step down. Unfortunately she was just re-elected for another 2 years.

I listened to that podcast too. Nancy rhapsodized that Biden was such a patriot, a hero actually, by deciding to put the country above self and withdraw from the race. (Q: was that before or after she knifed him in the back?). But she also said 30 minutes after his announcement he endorsed Kamala, which put the party in the position of having to accept her.

You'll never convince me Joe/Jill didn't let some of those "whoopsies" out intentionally and I don't blame them.

Mike Walz was selected by Trump to be his National Security Adviser.

Meanwhile, I've been my own version of stunning and brave, clawing back against the gender cult by helping a teen boy overcome this ideation regarding his face, which he thinks is "feminine." More than anything the words that men sometimes mature into their man face at age 20, not 14, struck a note. At the end of 6 weeks of easy once weekly communication, he wrote, "I don't think about it anymore. I must have felt that way because I had early exposure to pornography on my phone." Considering he started writing because he was so anxious about how this would affect his relationship with his parents. The gender cult increases rumination and anxiety. Many strategies work against them.

Can we please renforce to our children that humans are spiritual, physical, intellectual, and sexual beings in that order, hopefully. Puberty certainly upsets the apple cart, but with good counsel, balance returns. Good story.

So far so good for the Trump foreign policy national security team. As for the Democrats, pretty sure they will learn nothing. They cannot form a coalition with radical leftists and normal Americans.

Is it possible that Qatar is joining the free world and 21st century?? Could this be a crack in the strict Muslim dominance of the Middle East?

>>> the ballot is held in secret.

There should be NO secret ballots of publicly elected officials. Are you effing kidding me, American jurisprudence? SECRET BALLOTS FOR SENATORS!?

>>> Russia has assembled more than 50,000 soldiers, including North Korean troops

A fun side story there is apparently the North Korean troops, upon getting unfettered internet access for the first time, have become addicted to watching k-pop videos of girls dancing (and some pornography). Seriously all we need to do to defeat North Korea is to expose them to all the same culture the rest of the world has access to.

Except sissy hypno porn, which convinces males they are "really a woman."

John Cornyn is not a liberal. But he is the kind of conservative who will give the Democrats 90 percent of what they want so he can claim a "bipartisan compromise."

If you love this country, you cannot pretend to be an independent intellectual. Both the so called left and the right are retreating into their individual biases based on their origins, religions and their life experiences. The right in their hatred of the left, have elevated a closet fascist to the presidency. The left in their desperate attempt to garner votes, have abandoned common sense and their liberal principles. There are no country loving leaders left in either party. God help this country

Evidence of fascism, please? The man does have a track record as president, doesn’t he? Good luck with your TDS.

No he's not a closet fascist. Stop drinking your party of choice's lemonade. It appears to me that the left hates the right with a passion heretofore not known in American politics, and the right pities the inanity and lack of logic on the left. Most of the hate speech on this campaign emanated from the left trying to use scare tactics on the voters, a strategy that was an utter failure. The pity is, is that you bought it.

We had two choices=- a blowhard or a prevaricating shape shifting empty suit not prepared for any position other than cackler-in-chief. Her running mate was at best a poor liar.This country will get through. We got through Jimmy Carter. Remember-That which doesn't kill us will make us stronger, and Biden didn't kill us!

We'll be just fine with the "closet fascist," Prasad. Thanks anyway.

“Battles over Trump’s foreign policy”.

This is more ollie baloney. Media misinformation which is striving from day one to make Trump look bad. Ollie doesn’t care what Trumps foreign policy is as long as he can criticize it. When did Ollie first realize that Biden was not as sharp as a tack and maybe wasn’t a foreign policy guru?

Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 but geez let’s be realistic. We can’t all be foreign policy geniuses. Need to grade on a curve and include Biden and Kamala and Kerry.

The woke progressive Liberals here in canada will learn nothing from this election, they have already started trying to smear Poilievre as anti-democracy even though it’s the liberals enacting censorship, trying to criminalize thought.

I hope they go overboard, with our voting system the conservatives could end up with the largest majority in history

I would love for Canada to get back on a better track. Some of the stuff I read about makes me even less happy than what is happening here :(
