Pres. Donald Trump, Vice-Pres. J.D. Vance and Ukraine Pres. Zelensky argued contentiously over a minerals deal designed to fund Ukraine’s war with Russia.
WHAT WENT WRONG
Volodymyr Zelensky showed up in jogging suit, disrespected both Trump and Vance, then demanded money for his losing war. Apparently, Zelensky expected a compliant President, as we had for four years with the mentally-comatose Joe Biden. Without Biden and without $350 million of U.S. military funding, there would be no war.
Trump has halted aid to Ukraine, pressuring Zelensky into a peace deal with Russia. Zelensky doesn’t want peace. He is part of the endless wars America has funded to feed the military industrial complex. Wisely, the minerals deal was halted because of Zelensky’s behavior.
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Divide Ukraine. 50% for Russia, 50% for the USA. This is what happened to Europe post WWII.
Zelensky, a former failed comedienne needs to go. A quick trip to the gulag.
January 20, 2025. Donald J. Trump was sworn into office as the 47th President of the United States. The ceremony was held in the Capitol Rotunda due to cold weather.
Just prior, J.D. Vance was sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
To clear up a controversy, Melania Trump was a few seconds late bringing the two Bibles her husband was to swear on. The swearing in began without Trump putting his hand on the Bible. Trump could have interrupted the ceremony, but if there was any mistake the MSM would have had a field day with it, so he preceded without it. It is not mandatory for the President-elect to swear on a Bible. It is a tradition which began with our first President George Washington. In 2017, Trump did swear on a Bible for those who think his 2025 oath isn’t enough.
In 2009, Barack Obama had to be sworn in twice because of a misreading of the oath of office. That was done for legal reasons.
Time: Oct. 1, 2024. Place: NYC. CBS News, moderators Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan. Vice-Presidential nominees Senator J.D. Vance (R) and Gov. Tim Walz (D.)
Who won? The general consensus is that J.D. Vance was the winner, even by MSM standards. Walz appeared nervous, sweaty and old. Vance was cool, calm and collected.
HIGHPOINTS
J.D. Vance fact-checked the fact-checker Margaret Brennan. Brennan maintained that the 30,000 Haitian immigrants have protected status. Vance said they hadn’t applied for citizenship, but that Harris waved her magic wand and was giving them the right to live here in the United States. (It would have been smart to ask WHY they’re here. It’s to vote (illegally) in the ’24 election.
Tim Walz’s highpoint was when he asked Vance if he’d ratify the election if Trump lost. (It will actually be VP Kamala Harris who ratifies the ’24 election.) Vance had previously said he would not. His debate answer was a non-answer. This is in reference to former VP Mike Pence ratifying the 2020 election. Trump asked him not to. It’s within the realm of possibility this may happen again. Dems will be eager to ratify a Democratic win: stolen or not.
LOWPOINTS
Walz was asked if he was lying about being in Tiananmen Square riots in 1989. He admitted he “misspoke”, calling himself a “knucklehead”. His worst quote: “I’m friends with school shooters.”
Gov. Tim Walz
Vance didn’t always answer the questions, answering them with something altogether different.
Sen. J.D. Vance
CONCLUSION
Whether this changes the election remains to be seen. In a close race, Trump is at a disadvantage if – as the vote counting comes to an end – ballots suddenly appear – ALL for Harris. That’s what happened last time for Biden.
