  1. Here’s how Trump would have roasted Kamala if she hadn’t cowardly bailed on the Al Smith dinner..

    https://nypost.com/2024/09/23/opinion/heres-the-trump-roasting-that-cowardly-kamala-has-ducked/?

    “Wow, Kamala’s giving me that same death stare Crazy Nancy gave Sleepy Joe when he tried to resist falling on his sword. I hope she got frisked on the way in, because judging by her expression right now, I’m worried she might use that gun on me, which nobody knew she had until last week when she was trying to woo the NRA crowd by boasting to Oprah that she’s Rambo’s kid sister.

    “President Biden was apparently due to come too, but he couldn’t remember what day it was. Nor can he remember he’s still president, which isn’t surprising given that so few other people remember that either.”

    “So, while it’s great to see you here tonight, Kamala, let me just end by saying this: If you’re the voice of change, honesty and unity, then who the hell’s to blame for what’s happened in the last four years?”

  2. I think Eric overestimates her IQ by at least 10+ points. While I don’t think she’s a genius, I don’t underestimate her either. Yes, Kamala, the presidential candidate appears to be a boob, but is she ? She painted herself into a corner; she can’t discuss or argue eloquently for her genuine policy goals cuz they are abhorrent to a majority of voters, hence the feigned old flower child schtick.
    Like they say on the Ruthless Podcast, her conversation is loaded with filler, like in a HS term paper, where the author is writing large or adding extraneous text to meet the minimum requirement. Though rare, I have seen her speak
    coherently and normally. YMMV That’s not to say she’s competent or accomplished, or capable of being decisive or a good leader, and definitely not CnC..

    1. IQ of 130? Don’t think so. My guess is 110. She was smart enough to get through law school but too stupid to pass the bar exam first time around. She exudes stupid. Has there ever been a quote of any intellectual substance come out of her mouth? Rainman she ain’t.

      1. An IQ of 110, is not the top 10% or brilliant, but it isn’t stupid.
        On the other hand, don’t know who said this, Trump can operate in multiple gears and shift effortlessly, not Kamala.

          1. I’m a retired economics professor with a PhD, and over my career the Wharton School of Business, at the U of Penn, was considered one of the best research institutions in North America.

        1. You can be smart in one of 6 ways – musical, physical (actors/athletes), mathematical, spatial (think engineers/architects), artistic, or good with words. You can even be smart in more than one thing, but the most important is to be able to make connections. Connections between events, actions (if I do this, what could happen?) ability to think into the future. Being good with connections helps politicians, but it does not work with everyone.

          1. Thank you for noting this, So many people think being smart can be reduced to a number. It’s absurd. Perception operates on so many different levels. Many people will know people who don’t do particularly well in school, but show real brilliance. One of my favourite examples is Charles Lindberg.

  3. I’ve commented that Trump needs a physical fitness personality on the Unity ticket. Somebody like Schwarzenegger who can say “Get off your ass after dinner and take a walk.” I doubt Arnold is a Trumpkin , but maybe Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers et al. I did see this speech by Jillian Michaels. Wow, if she didn’t write it, whoever did gets 5 stars. Really worth a listen.

    1. I’m aware that Michaels is a bit hyperbolic and I disagree that the public is “victimized”, but she’s right that there is a lot of manipulation and deception on the part of Big Food. I’d like to hear of ways to incentivize better food choices.

      1. Now accepting bookings for overweight rapper Big Food, will perform anywhere but prefers wedding banquets.

  4. WikiLeaks

    “PRESS RELEASE:

    Julian Assange to Address Council of Europe Following Confirmation of his Status as a Political Prisoner

    On October 1, Julian Assange will arrive in Strasbourg to give evidence before the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) which is scheduled to meet from 8.30am to 10am at the Palace of Europe.”

  5. We all remember Birju Dattani, the anti-Jewish extremist that Trudeau appointed to the CHRC:
    https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/embattled-federal-human-rights-pick-lists-job-he-never-did-on-resume

    Turns out that he lists the CHRC post on his resume, even though he never worked there.

    Also, the wack-job landed a job at the Centre of Free Expression, at the Toronto Metropolitan University. That group is headed up by Jsmes Tursk, a far-left guy. He used to head up the Canadian Union of Univerdity Professors, a very left-wing union I was a member of.

  6. Question of the day: Is it a war crime to store your missiles in a neighborhood full of innocent children?

      1. I think it is a war crime to knowingly store weapons in schools and hospitals with the hope that your enemy will leave them alone.

    1. Springfield is actually a very nasty situation and deserves more attention this election. Overlooking the dogs and cats issue, 20,000 people from a foreign country have been dumped on a community of many poor people. Locals are unable to afford housing, food costs way up,health and education overwhelmed. What did Kamala think would happened when she brought all these people in? Not working well for most Hatians either — As always, some people are making money.A new manufacturing company, won’t hire locals. The mayor is making big bucks on his rentals,so he does not see the problem,but talk to the guy living in his truck. Happening in many places in the US.

    2. “They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the dogs” was cringey. It would have been more credible to say feral animals and wild life have been disappearing in Clarke Co.
      Too bad the immigrants dont reduce the deer population, that might get them a pass.
      Anyway, I thought the claim was that the bomb threats were coming from outside the US or is the complaint about something else.

      1. I don’t think they were sent there to do that.

        I think they were sent there to eat Republican voters.

      2. So, it’s more credible to recommend massive personal cotton product consumption than to say, “Eat my shorts”?

      1. I am hopeful this one will blow up in Kamala’s face. It is very indicative of what she will do to America if she gets elected.

  7. Justhin accuses the Conservatives during Question Period of being “casually homophobic”:
    ://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/trudeau-accuses-conservatives-of-casual-homophobic-comments-in-question-period-1.7051864

    The Conservatives were attacking Consul General Tom Clark (of CTV news fame) and his $9-million+ digs, using terms like “stunning powder room” and “copper soaking tub”. These phrases were deemed homophobic. Got it.
