It seems that humans have an inherent tendency to strive to portray themselves as something other than who they truly are. Whether it's Individuals from humble backgrounds pretending to be royalty or politicians attempting to connect with the public, there exists a strong desire within us to belong. However, on occasion, these efforts can result in comical mishaps that SNL affectionately showcases. Imagine John Kerry coming out of the woods with a shotgun to bond with hunters, only to see...
October 15, 2024 - I vaguely recall Walter Mondale’s unpopular choice to join him on the 1984 Democratic ticket. At the time, I did not comprehend the reason why the electorate held so much disdain for New York Representative Geraldine Ferraro. I do, though, remember picking up the vibe that a female seeking the vice presidency was taboo, but at seven, a kid doesn’t understand that. I have learned a lot since then. Geraldine Ferraro is known as a trailblazer for female politicians. Let us not...
Kamala Harris’s campaign is in free fall. Gaffes and poor performances plague her. Unpopular policies abound. Trump gains ground as time runs out. Her presidential dreams slip away. Voters aren’t buying what she’s selling. Her message, once thought to be clear and concise, now falls flat. Voters are increasingly skeptical of her proposed policies, and her attempts to explain them only worsen things. The enthusiasm that once surrounded her candidacy has given way to doubts and questions. Her a...
A shell of his former self, the 2024 Joe Biden and the Joe Biden of 2012 bear little resemblance. Nor is he the man of four years ago. Democratic officials, fearful of an electoral disaster losing not only the White House but both houses of Congress, took the “keys from the old man” in July due to his vast mental deterioration. Or did Biden slip as much as Democrats think? https://www.tobsal.com/post/no-reset-button-christopher-m-peeks *Biden’s Original Plan* Joe Biden fulfilled his dream in 20...
A Tranquil Path to the Presidency October 26, 2024 - No candidate in American political history received a more tranquil path to Pennsylvania Avenue than Vice President Kamala Harris. Her, me, and those of you reading this have one thing in common. In the last two presidential elections, we got the same number of votes in the Democratic primaries: zero. Despite no mandate from the electorate, she is promoted by the party hierarchy. *The Unearned Advantage* https://www.tobsal....
October 18th 2024 - During the course of my life, politics has changed, and not for the good. I guess that some of this development occurred due to the people involved. In today’s climate, people seeking higher office do so for self-interest instead of bettering people’s lives. I see this trend only continuing to worsen for future generations. *Growing Up in a Different Era* I grew up before computers and cell phones. Before Twitter and Facebook. Even before cable TV. I grew up when people sti...
October 28, 2024 - MOBILE - HOLMES BLASTS MOORE: “IS HE FOSTERING A SPIRIT OF INSURRECTION?”_ https://www.tobsal.com/post/holmes-bizzare-weird-moore-house-district-1 Tom Holmes, the Democratic Nominee for the United States House of Representatives in Alabama, Congressional District 1 calls out Republican Congressman Barry Moore for his comment about not accepting the election results if former president Donald J. Trump loses the 2024 campaign to Vice President Kamala Harris on November 5th inqui...
For the last two months, the mainstream media has attempted to plant a false image in the minds of voters. Like an oasis in the desert, the Democratic faithful looked at Vice President Harris as if they thirsted for water. Although the aggregate numbers show the race as tied in the battlegrounds, a pattern has emerged in a few key states. The outcome is far from certain, but this is a troubling sign for the Harris supporters. In Georgia, Trump leads Harris by 1.4% in the aggregate poll average,...
The Biden administration has issued 535 executive orders on immigration since taking office, leading to a significant increase in the influx of Haitian immigrants into the United States. As of September 24, 2024, an estimated 852,000 Haitians reside in the country, with this number continuing to rise each month due to various immigration programs. One significant program is the Humanity Parole Program for Cubans, Nicaraguans, Haitians, and Venezuelans, announced by the President in January...
October 1, 2024 - Today marks a milestone for an iconic figure in American history. President Jimmy Carter turns 100. Only a fraction of people reach this age. Let us take a moment to reflect on his life and pay homage to the former President. Jimmy Carter entered this world on October 1st ,1924, becoming the first American president born in a hospital. While attending Georgia Tech, he participated in naval ROTC and secured an appointment to Annapolis in 1943. Graduating in 1946, Carter served...
Before the Democratic National Convention, a Reuters poll revealed that over 25% of young Black men are considering supporting Republican candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. This information was disclosed in an NAACP poll released earlier in the month. While Black voters have traditionally been a loyal Democratic constituency, there has been a decline in confidence among some younger Black voters and Black men of all ages during President Joe Biden’s term. D...
October 4, 2024 - Michigan - More bad news out of Michigan for the Harris campaign. The same day, Trafalgar, the second most accurate polling organization from 2020 according to 538, released a poll showing Kamala Harris trailing Donald Trump by 2 points. Mitchell Communications released a similar survey. In this one, the former president leads by 1%. Four out of the last five polls from the Great Lakes State have Trump on top. Last week, Rep. Slotkin expressed her concerns about the Harris...
I have to wonder who the GOP strategists are. Where is Karl Rove when Republicans need him? Would the late Lee Atwater take this route? The GOP are shooting themselves in the foot right now, the news networks are abuzz with GOP leader’s claims that Vice President Harris is the DEI choice. Trump did not do them any favors today with his comments at the Black Journalist Conference. By now, everyone has either read or listened to his words, so draw your own conclusions. Why did he go on there? A...
July 16, 2024 I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing former Congressman Mo Brooks yesterday to gain his insights regarding the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Mr. Brooks, the target of a would-be assassin in 2017, told me in great detail about the ordeal. While practicing for the congressional baseball game, Brooks and his colleagues came under a withering barrage of gunfire that lasted ten minutes. With bullets whizzing through the air, Brooks, with no thoughts...
By now everyone has heard the news that Joe Biden has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race. An unprecedented event in American history. One cannot even draw a comparison between this and Lyndon Johnson's withdrawal in 1968. Ironically the convention is also in Chicago this year. How does this play out? Which party now has the advantage going into the fall? We will see soon enough. First, one can't help but feel a little sympathy for Joe Biden. He fulfilled his dream of becoming the...
Kamala Harris has burst onto the scene as a virtual unknown. Yes, she served as the attorney general and senator from California before joining Biden on the ticket in 2020, but who has heard of her over the last four years.? What do Americans know about Vice President Harris? Well, nothing, that's what she's got going in her favor. Just wait. But even as an unknown, she still has the highest disapproval ratings of any vice president in history. Trump has higher approval ratings than her, and...
Right now, every Trump voter I know has hit the panic button. They have believed the narrative that's being spun by the mainstream media. The news networks are discussing the newfound enthusiasm with their new candidate, and there may be some excitement. The Democrats had to do something and at first glance they appear to have a spark. I have tried to convey to Trump voters to relax. Despite all the positive media coverage the Vice President has received. Trump’s path to 270 is much more a...
