Completely based on incorrect premise that Trump is not popular???? Trump is very popular, which is why he’ll win for the THIRD time in a row this November!

The only hits to Kamala Harris's popularity is due to racism and sexism.

In my humble opinion, the problem is with both establishment parties themselves. They have the system rigged where they put their candidates forward and everyone else is an after thought. Most people in this country aren't left or right, but somewhere in the middle.

@DanaPerino One of the current candidates is very popular. We didn't "settle" for DJT. He's our guy.

In this case the globlists picked one candidate kamala, and the people picked the other candidate Trump.

People are significantly less intelligent than a century ago, and politics is sold much like breakfast cereal. Few voters are educated and discerning to even understand modern politics and largely let night-night hosts do their thinking for them. Sadly, smart isn't popular today.

It means the people willing to go through what Trump has gone through is a pretty short list.

This is such a bullshit false equivalency. One party is trying to govern, the other is a cult of personality led by a malignant narcissist

Our system for picking presidents isnt broken on one side. The entire establishment republican mechanism was against trump yet he won the nomination. The dems literally installed a person that won zero primary votes ever!

Gary Smith2 years ago

Popularity doesn't mean that person will be a good president.

Why is it that when schools teach about Andrew Jackson you only hear about the trail of tears? Why aren’t students taught that he took on the banks? That he was one of the most popular presidents in American history? That he was the only president in American history to fully pay off the national debt? There has been an insidious agenda to turn Americans against our roots. It’s time we take our history back.

Does God want us to be happy? Can we be happy? The answer is, Yes! That is if we go about it in the right way. I am going to be speaking on this very topic this coming Sunday at Harvest as we begin our new series on the The Sermon On The Mount in my message, “How To Be Happy”. Here are some thoughts about that. . . .

ZELENSKYY: . Our wish is that in the coming weeks, all six clusters can be opened and pave the way for Ukraine’s future EU membership. “There will be a meeting of the European Council. We're very grateful to all the EU countries for opening the first cluster. This is a serious step forward for us. We won't stop. Our wish is that in the coming weeks, or months, — although, of course, we hope it will be weeks rather than months — we will be able to open the other five clusters. That way, all six clusters can be opened and pave the way for our future EU membership. We'll be working for this” Zelenskyy on Thursday, June 18, 2026.

The magic of #afghanevac is that we come from all sorts of backgrounds, unified by the idea that our promises should mean something. We aren’t going anywhere. We will keep pushing. Together.

"Bharat is always seen through the eyes of her invaders. The way our history textbooks are written, it’s a long list of battles that we, as Bharatiyas, have lost, right from the invasions of the Greeks, Huns, to the Arabs, Turks, Portuguese, French, British. Now, if we are the only pre-Bronze era civilisation that is still alive, there must be some courage and resistance that our ancestors also put through. Why is it that these heroes and heroines in our long historical discourse do not feature in what is the popular Bharatiya historiography" - Dr. Vikram Sampath, FRHistS #WHC2023

NDP's only Quebec MP Alexandre Boulerice is leaving the Party to run for the separatists Québec Solidaire. Avi Lewis: "We been very clear in the NDP for a very long time that we respect the right of Quebecers to decide their future..." Does that courtesy extends to Alberta and our right to decide on our future? Someone should inform Naheed Nenshi on his Party & boss' stance.

I met with a bipartisan delegation from the U.S. Congress. I told them that I plan to personally present Ukraine’s plan for victory to President Biden and the presidential candidates from both the Republican and Democratic parties in the near future. We deeply appreciate the support of the President and the U.S. Congress from the very beginning of this war. We are grateful for the passage of a very important bill in Congress, and I hope that all this will be delivered to Ukraine as soon as possible to strengthen our army. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Friends, we come to the First Sunday of Advent, which is the commencement of the new liturgical year. “Adventus” in Latin means arrival or coming, and one way to look at Advent is to see three comings of Christ. There is the coming of Christ in history in Bethlehem, the coming of Christ now as he approaches our hearts, and the coming of Christ someday in the future. All three of these dimensions belong to our Advent preparation.
