The Nugget:
Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
My Comment:
I remember September 11, 2001 very vividly. My oldest son was at work and called my wife and I and said we should turn the television on. We did, and watched the events unfold that tragic day.
Many innocent people died that day.
Because there are many strange and unexplained anomalies associated with this event, I do not believe hardly a word of what the so-called mainstream media or our government and its agencies have to say about what happened that day.
Off the top of my head, I recall a number of those strange anomalies. One such thing we are asked to believe is that the picture id of one of the terrorists who took over the airplane was found unscathed or undamaged on the sidewalk or other nearby spot. Another anomaly is that “building 7” fell down in a manner similar to the two towers but it was not struck by any airplane. Even the pattern of the fall of the twin towers is highly suspect.
Another strange anomaly was that the students who were “training” to fly the airplanes they eventually hijacked were interested only in learning how to fly the planes when already in flight. They were not interested in learning how to take off and land the planes safely. These things were reported to the usual suspect “authorities” who did nothing to investigate and stop what was going on. If you have paid attention since, you know that this is a frequently repeated pattern. There are no coincidences. Such repeated failures indicate that such failures occur on purpose.
Another strange anomaly is how convenient the so-called “Patriot Act” was prepared and ready to be passed by Congress in the very next month of October. I recall that almost no one was allowed to read the bill before it was passed. If I recall correctly, it may have been Nancy Pelosi who stated we have to pass it before we can read it. The bill was very long, well over a thousand pages as I recall, and was kept in a special room where one legislator at a time was allowed to enter the room to read it but not allowed to take notes and not allowed to discuss its contents with anyone else. As sometimes happens, the name given to the bill was the opposite of what it was.
I recall writing a scathing letter to my Senator, Carl Levin, because he was trying to restrict the ability of grass-roots organizations to inform me about what was actually going on regarding the events of 9-1-1. I let him know that had he been a student in my class with that abysmal understanding of the First Amendment to the Constitution, he may not have been able to pass my course.
Yesterday, September 10, 2024, was the “Great Debate” between our current Vice President and our former President. I listened to the entire debate.
I believe the Vice President presented what she intended to share about how she plans to conduct her position of President should she win the election on November 5, 2024. Her voice was clear. Her message was clear.
Her presentation was weakened, in my professional estimation, by her failure to tell us anything more about her positions on the critical issues that should be of great concern to the American public than what she has recently expressed.
What she has recently expressed is a reversal of positions she has consistently held in the past. This leads me to suspect that she may be expressing positions about the economy and the wide-open southern border that are now closer to those announced and practiced by our former President. She may be doing this to garner the support of more voters.
Our current Vice President is therefore hiding the truth about her real positions on some of the most important issues at stake in this election.
As a former debate judge on the college level, I would argue firmly that our Vice President has actually lost the debate.
I heard our Vice President repeat proven falsehoods about our former President.
She brought up the supposed “fact” that President Trump was given 400 million dollars at the start of his career by his father. President Trump properly challenged that claim, saying he wished that had been the case, but that is not the amount he was loaned by his father. Furthermore, President Trump paid back his father’s loan in full.
I have known about this false claim since before the time President Trump won his first election to the Presidency. It has been thoroughly disproved and is therefore a lie.
In the debate programs I have participated in, a debater or a debate team must exercise great care not to misrepresent the facts. If a debater does misrepresent the facts, that is cause enough to lose the debate.
Our current Vice President repeated this error a number of times during the debate last night. She called attention to the “2025 Project.” President Trump correctly responded that he had nothing to do with that project and has never even read it. She contested the claim that the former Governor of Virginia supported the position of letting the mother and her doctor decide what should be the disposition of the newborn after its successful birth, whether to keep the child or dispose of it. This most certainly was the position of the former Virginia Governor though it was, to my knowledge, never put into practice or law. Our current Vice President brought up the fully disproven matter of what President Trump had to say about events in Charlottesville, Virginia. Bringing up old errors as if they were true shows the Vice President is uninformed and has not studied these matters enough to know the difference between truth and error.
Since the debate of last night I have come across media personalities who have faulted President Trump for being so easily “entrapped” in non-important issues by the purposely and skillfully well-designed side remarks of the Vice President intended to distract President Trump from the main issues, wasting his time pursuing answers down one rabbit trail after another.
In college debates I have participated in it is most important that false claims presented by an opponent be carefully challenged and misinformation be corrected. Not to do so indicates that you have either agreed to the truth of the false claim or are not prepared to answer it, which can result in losing the debate to the actually mistaken other team.
I, therefore, make the informed judgment as an experienced debater and debate judge that President Trump won the debate.
