Bill:

As usual your are a cynic at reporting. Both candidates have many flaws. One (Kamala) is part of the spend and warring party, the other (Trump) love’s this country even with his many flaws. With the democrats the country will be lost into bankruptcy. At minimum, Trump will begin to drill for oil at a fast pace. This will bring the inflation down by reducing cost of shipping, etc. We will become energy independent and sell our extensive oil to other countries. With all this extra money coming in, the debt will be reduced. Also, I’m hoping if the Republicans win the three branches of government we can get rid of worthless departments (Dept of education and energy) and cut government agencies by 10% Maybe more. The border will be closed, the illegal criminals will be deported, crime will be reduced, our country will be safer, and sanity will come back to the U.S. Trump may not be a genius, but he loves this country and wants to make it great.

Trump may not be a genius, but he has one on his team, Elon Musk, who has said he already identified at least 2 trillion to take out of the budget.

Thank you Mr Porter🙏 Bill has been living outside of America for so long he’s unable to or just doesn’t care about the damage that A quarter century of democrat/communist policies have done to us. I consider Trump a Kennedy type democrat as he proved to be his entire life. Watching the Harris rally in NC, I noticed most of her supporters were college age girls, who’s only concerned is the right to suck out their unborn child over any real issues in America. It shows just how indoctrinated our cultivated mushrooms have become. This generation of mushrooms are the result of no education due to the school closing and proves how well the plandemic worked for the democrats. Theirs was always controlled by 5% elite of their party, busy creating mushrooms to cultivate with no education, no respect of God, family nor country. It’s all about what they can get for free, promoting mental illness as a good norm, being able to mutate themselves and the unborn and the disgust of the country that gave them the right to be mushroom. We can only hope the corruption is better watched this election, and we can take America back. We all know that the demented elite of this party of corruption are panicking at an unprecedented level due to the hope of We the people to see the thousands of traitors either in prison or executed for obvious treason. It’s the only way forward for our Republic. So we have the choice between a democrat or a communist, choose wisely… God bless America and those who fight for her 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

72 hours after SHTF the funnest pastime will be watching the libtarde White women all around our Country begin to run out of their Psychiatric meds. Good times...

😂🤣😂🤣, so sad but true brother!

Dorothy's avatar

SL: Not even close to being true. How sad you both are. I guess it’s just part of being a Republicans, although, in the past, I don’t recall they were as bad as they are now. Probably MAGA has had a hand in it!

Dave J's avatar

Instead of offering general, fact-less drivel, why don't you pick just one of Steve's assertions and demonstrate with specifics and facts why he's wrong?

Dorothy's avatar

DJ: Because he is using anything to demean women. You didn’t get that??Libtarde White women all around our country running out of their Psychiatric meds. It might be ok to you but not us females.

Mr. Porter I agree with most of what you wrote, but this? "With all this extra money coming in, the debt will be reduced." Seems unlikely in this country--under any administration. That said, I would LOVE to be proven wrong.

Worm Farmer extraordinaire's avatar

Thank you, Mr. Porter. He is far from perfect but good Lord look at the competition.

Nick Moceri's avatar

What all of the Trump supporters seem to miss is that all that is being said now is the CAMPAIGN.. It means nothing for the REALITY to follow.

Paul Murray's avatar

If we're looking to government for solutions, then WE are the ignorant, stupid fools. The one thing Mr. Trump has over Kamala and the CommieDems by a mile is his CULTURAL conservatism. In all of his pronouncements about Mr. Trump's alleged idiocy and fecklessness, Mr. Bonner conveniently overlooks this fact. Americans, by and large and many of us grudgingly, have acquiesced to the idea that we have severely mismanaged our fiscal house, but many of us have watched with regret and even anger as our government has not only screwed us over but destroyed our social and moral fabrics in the process! Until 2015, we conservative, traditional-values types had NO ADVOCACY. We do now, and we're either going to put him over the top or die with him. Best always. PM

Dave S's avatar

I second this. I concede that neither candidate will be capable of stopping the descent of the dollar, but one might at least delay this rapid slouching towards Gomorrah that we've watched for four years.

Gone Fishin’'s avatar

Indeed.

And He warned Abraham.

I don’t think we’ll get another warning.

C Eti's avatar

Hate to have to tell you ... but, being an avowed zionist shill and lackey, indicates one does not have; morals, integrity, nor any semblence of honesty.

Dorothy's avatar

PM: You don’t have to put him over the top or die with him. What ADVOCACY are you talking about? Obama was president for two terms (2009-2017) and I agree he had to clean up Bushes mess. Trump will NEVER be your savior..listen to his speeches.

Spiff's avatar

Are you saying Trump was incorrect about the cats and dogs?

You might want to look into that one.

StarboardEdge's avatar

Sadly, Bill wears blinders when it comes to any Facts or Evidence that rattle his leftist/elite roots. Don't be fooled - he's, at heart, a cultural leftarde with a hammer, saw or wrench in his hands...

Dorothy's avatar

DW: Well, if you listen to the news that was what Trump said about the Haitian immigrants. It was proven to be untrue. Typical Trump making up things.

Wes T's avatar

Yea, the cats and dog comment was pretty f’n stupid. Even if it was true.

Dorothy's avatar

DW: I am NOT INCORRECT. Trump said it when he and Kamala were debating each other. Something that you should have probably watched. It was their last debate.

Spiff's avatar

Yes, and he was right and you are wrong.

Dorothy's avatar

DW: Maybe you are not aware, but you can do “fact checking.” Try it..you might like it and learn something!

working stiff's avatar

yes, yes here we go again, I wonder if you even read these comments - probably not, to beneath you to hear from the surfs. I did notice you devoted ~ 40% of your diatribe to hating Trump, and a mere few paragraphs on the empty vessel Harris. Seems you do not have the balls to come out and say your hatred for Trump, Trumps the needs of the country. Equally, you are spineless in your desire to just say you are for the charlatan Harris. really disappointing, again stick to what we pay for and keep your bullshit cracks about someone you obviously hate to yourself. Didn't your mama tell you if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all. Very very disappointing...

Dorothy's avatar

CM: Do you read what most of the republicans that are on this blog say? Most are always praising Trump and knocking the democrats..but I guess that’s okay to you that they do that; but you hating Harris and saying nasty things is ok. Tell your other republican responders the same message, if you have the courage. You are very very disappointing!

working stiff's avatar

how do you like me now? You support a dirtbag lying scumbag president???

Dave J's avatar

Most of what we conservatives write on this blog can be substantiated with facts and truth. I'll demonstrate: Name three things that the Biden-Harris administration accomplished during their term to make Americans' lives better. Then I'll name five things they've done that have destroyed Americans' lives. You won't answer the question, just like Comrade Kamala can't answer the simple question about what she would do differently than Joe Biden. You are blind to reality and I feel very sorry for you.

Dorothy's avatar

DJ: Biden 1. lowered prescription drug costs by successfully breaking lobbyist blockade that had prevented the US government from being able to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices. 2. More people are working than at any point in American history. Eleven million jobs were generated, which included the addition of 750,000 manufacturing position. 3. Rallied the world to support Ukraine in response to Putin’s aggression. Successful counterterrorism missions Against the leaders of Al Qaeda and ISIS. 4. Lowering cost of families everyday expenses. The Inflation Reduction Act. Lowers costs for families, combats the climate crisis ( which you probably don’t believe in). Reduces the deficit and will, finally, make big corporations pay their fair share. 5. The bipartisan safer communities act.A gun violence prevention legislation in 30 years. Help keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people and also expand mental health and safety services in schools. And 6. just for one more extra Biden signed a landmark executive order to promote safe and accountable policing, ban chokeholds, restrict no knock entries by police, create a national police accountability database and prohibit the transfer of military equipment to local police departments. Dave, it’s me who feels sorry for you!

i blame no one but you and your own words, you have nothing, no platform, no policy, nothing other than what the TV tells you - Trump bad, Mamala good even though she has had 4 years and did not one fucking thing with them. Get lost - go back to your playpen, maybe mamala will give you your bottle to shut you up.

CM: You need to be more respectful of other’s opinions. Otherwise, I hope Bonner bans those who do a lot of nasty name calling.

Steve L's avatar

Chet, Alt left his home in California decades ago to help ruin Australia with his left wing insanity. That is how they spread their hatred and mental illness throughout the world. Destroy one town, city, state, country and swarm the next. We are currently living it here in NC. The mental illness is so evident in their actions…

hey, hey, hey; watch it with the clauses…there is enough fine print already to cope with.

StarboardEdge's avatar

"John Flynn says ‘he’s the most flawed human being’ he has ever known. Mitch McConnell says he is ‘despicable.’ He ‘tries to divide us,’ said James Mattis. ‘... he’s unfit for office,’ said Mark Esper. ‘...a laughing fool,’ added John Bolton. Tom Bossert: ‘...an utter disgrace.’ ‘A domestic terrorist’ — Anthony Scaramucci. "

How many of these stellar "leaders" heard the words "YOU'RE FIRED"? I think ALL of them except the traitor McConnell.

What a weak thing to write, Bill. You are falling into the trap of thinking your readers here are as stupid and/or indoctrinated as your fellow dimocrats. It is a common mistake made by the losers in your party...

Mackinac's avatar

Great reply Starboard.

Dorothy's avatar

SE: What Bonner stated was true. Also, what the others listed above said was also true. If you watched different news outlets, you might learn something. You are a die hard Rep., and you’ll never change. You are so good at Name Calling…what a shame.

Brian Hurley's avatar

The common denominator Dot? Every one of these blowhards eats at the Deep State table, and would never think of pissing off the maitre'd. Also weird is the fact that ALL of their supposed Trump quotes were said in their presence only, no corroborating witnesses...passing strange...

Dorothy's avatar

BH: Obviously, there were.

rKf's avatar

Last week we visited James Madison’s estate. Among other things, we learned about the real gap. The leaders of the 1700’s, studied history. They endeavored to find wisdom in the triumphs & mistakes of the past and apply that understanding to a fragile society. Today the gap is not between the elite and the deplorable/trash. The real gap is between those who learn and the ignorant. We are locked in a grapple of incompetents.

Eden Recor's avatar

I have better hope for trump winning based upon what I hear not only from him but the other prominent leaders that have joined him. I do see some very obvious personal dislike for trump coming from you. It is interesting that many of the people you quoted are people I have no respect for.

StarboardEdge's avatar

And he does this over and over. The splashback by people that can think is starting to erode respect for Mr. Bill. But he can't/won't stop. Orange Man turned down his application to Mar a Lago apparently, and Bonner just can't let that go. Perhaps also influencing his attitude a'la Trump - BB was great pals with many "leaders and politicians" that we would classify as Deep State, with some even being Treasonous in hindsight. Billy can't rock their boat, so like a good little lemming, he parrots their lies...

Will Foster's avatar

Golly gee, I wouldn’t be quoting Mitch McConnell. He’s the one unfit for Office. The forked tongue devil. Ditch Mitch!

Dorothy's avatar

WF: No, I think Mitch just got tired of lying for Trump and decided to say what he really thought. I have read that many Republicans don’t like Trump, but are afraid of him.

kenneth dame's avatar

At least we have a choice, while on the fast tract to "Hell On Earth" financially. Wth Harris we can be solemn, sad and cry a lot, thinking about just one of her ideas, "Taxing Unrealized Gains" on stock holdings. However, with Trump we get to be joyful, happy and laugh a lot at his "employment" at the Golden Arches and as a garbage truck driver, with plans to greatly reduce our taxes. Bill, may be right about the two "Half a dozen of one versus Six of the other" but for me I'd rather get to have some "great" laughs before I have to start paying the piper.

Paul Murray's avatar

NOT just "stock holdings" but ALL PROPERTY, tangible and intangible. That means real estate, cash equivalents, stocks, bonds, ALL of it. She intends to make death a "realization event" ,

deeming death as a taxable sale of all capital assets at "fair market value" (and obviously they are the determining authority) with the gains and losses to be reported on the decedent's final tax return. This is the closest thing to communism EVER seen in this country, and SHE'S PROUD OF IT. And if this isn't enough, she advocates a 25% MINIMUM tax on the "wealthy" beginning at $100 million in aggregate value. And it's not just income, but UNREALIZED GAINS on assets which have not been sold or otherwise experienced disposition (transfer, assignment etc.). This woman is historic in her idiocy and anti-Americanism. How's that for JOY? Best always. PM

kenneth dame's avatar

Great stuff, Paul. You've just given the best description of the "Wicked Witch Of The West".

Paul Murray's avatar

You and I have different priorities, and a different understanding of life. I view this forum as a marketplace of ideas, and I know in advance that some things I will accept and some things I will reject.

Trump is not my "savior", but I do believe he is by far the better alternative. I see nothing, absolutely nothing, beneficial and much harmful, about the Democrat candidate, chosen by committee and not by vote,. You do not agree; that is your prerogative. Best always. PM

Paul, listening to Dennis Prager podcast today, one guest commented that, if Harris wins, lawfare would likely rain down on Elon. Now that would be an interesting show.

Petra Kehr's avatar

Well, dear Mr. Bonner,

of the many things I've read about this upcoming election, this is pretty much the least important and least substantive.

What does stand out, however, is the indeed highly impressive array of trustworthy personalities; from Mr. Flynn to Mr. Scaramucchi; that you quote with their astute remarks here. (In case there is any doubt; sarcasm off)

Dow Hurst's avatar

In the Joe Rogan Trump interview: Trump stated that after the economy had started performing well and revenues were way up, that he was expecting to start paying down the National Debt! Then Covid interrupted his plan and the election went the wrong way. That is the first time I heard him say what he had intended to accomplish on the debt problem. I understand now he intended to get the economic engine running before starting large debt payments. That totally makes me see him in a different light, since I always thought he didn’t seem to care much about debt. He plays his cards close to the chest.

Art K's avatar

I appreciate your optimism but there is no way in hell that any of this debt ever gets paid down. Step one: Go find $1.8T so we can balance the budget next fiscal year. Sadly, that won’t happen with Trump or anybody else.

john Gostling's avatar

Dear Bill,

I have just read the comments below and am rather appalled by the amount and level of vitriol. It seems I had unrealistic expectations that your readership was thoughtful, civil and friendly if not erudite. If this is a true reflection of the state of America, it is probably worse, much worse, than your daily musings intimate. I hope my reflection below lightens the tone even though the sentiment rhymes with yours.

Elite once was the Cream

Hail the government

It knows what we all need

Vassals, no dissent

It just needs us to heed

Representatives

A huge annoying claim

What preventatives

Mean our voice is lame?

Justify your place

To tax and spend at will

Votes may be an ace

But they’re a bitter pill

Clients and cronies

Are what they love the most

Celebrate with ponies

The rest of us just toast?

Conjure nine from eight

Sliced pizzas sleight of hand

Printing press gyrate

Inflation goes as planned

Tax on you and me

Inflation’s calling card

Note printers off scot-free

Hold gold the best safeguard

Promises ascend

Anything for seats?

Trust you can’t depend

Detestable elites?

Cartero Atómico's avatar

What do Bill and the readers here think of the recent quote from one of our overlords, the great Larry Fink of BlackRock infamy- I'm tired of hearing this is the biggest election in your lifetime. The reality is over time it doesn't matter".

Fink was a member of the President's Strategic and Policy Forum in 2016. At the same time "BlackRock Inc. is rehiring Mike Pyle, a former senior aide to Kamala Harris and one-time executive at the firm, strengthening the close ties between the world’s largest money manager and Washington".

Could this all be a Dog and Pony Show? The serfs fighting over crumbs while the Wall Street Banksters rape and pillage.

StarboardEdge's avatar

Fink has the luxury/money of repeating that line of reasoning because he has the money and connections to be untouchable. Kinda like the man whose name is on the shingle here.

While I hear ya, Mr. Atomico, I lived the last 4 years and saw what the people in "power" are willing to do to keep that power. If the slutty toddler is allowed to steal it, we most likely are finished as a Free Country and our future would not be bright...

Cartero Atómico's avatar

I interpret Fink's comment to mean he and his ilk will still control the country no matter who wins. It's like Huey Long said back in the 1930s about Republican waiters on one side of the table and Democratic waiters on the other side, but no matter who serves you the Wall St. Banksters like Fink are in the kitchen cooking up our grub.

We'll see when Trump makes his first appointments if he's correct. If we see another Crony Capitalist appointed as Secretary of the Treasury we will know Fink was right.

StarboardEdge's avatar

Yup. Based on Trump's recent comments I believe he did learn a lesson about who he shares Power with and we'll likely see some much wiser, more America First appointments. However, you nailed it - the new Secretary of the Treasury will be a major tell as to if Trump is sincere or pissing on our collective legs...

Cartero Atómico's avatar

A question for the readers here: I detest Kamala Harris but does it bother you that Trump still touts as a success the experimental mRNA vaccine that was neither nor effective. In fact, in the sales agreement Pfizer states that the long term effects of the vaccine were unknown.

James F's avatar

I think it was John Kelly who made the "most flawed individual" remark about Trump.

working stiff's avatar

yes, a bitter man who was fired.

James F's avatar

Like so many of the people Trump appointed. Bill Barr, in his book, said that with Trump

everyone except his immediate family has a shelf life.

It's a shame that today almost nobody reads books. Anyone who read Liz Cheney's book would not vote for Trump. But nobody in the Trump Cult would read it since their Dear

Leader says she's a bad person.

working stiff's avatar

so go vote for the empty pant suit - that will certainly move the country forward.... so stupid, people write what they think will sell books. Seems those closes to him do not see the same things. Only those who have been taken out with the trash - so fuck em. All I know is during his tenure we had ZERO wars, inflation <1.4%, gas <$2.00, border SECURE - so you go ahead and vote off some shitheads book - I'll take the results over that bullshit.

Wasted keystrokes on another ignorant sheep. And no, James F, I don't call you that out of any reservoir of Trump support. I call you that because you are apparently too ignorant/stupid/indoctrinated to use a tiny bit of Critical Thinking Skills and are blinded by what your tv told you to think...

Dorothy's avatar

Kam's avatar

It’s not about Trump. People have a short memory. D bullies have made an art of demonizing their opponents. When Trump is gone, the next R will suffer the same fate. If Jesus Christ himself ran as the R candidate, the D’s would roll out the conga line of women accusing rape, doctors claiming dementia, idiots screaming NAZI, HITLER, DICTATOR!!! Much of Trump’s support comes from R’s support for a bully, any bully, capable of standing toe-to-toe with D bullies. Conservative R’s would like to see the progressive movement reversed. It’ll take decades but just maybe our great grandchildren will learn Trump was the starting point.

Dorothy's avatar

Kam: How sad you are. Do you ever read or listen to anything about politics? Your example you gave concerning D’s rolling out the conga line, etc.,is totally false and not a good example. You can do better. Read more and listen to people less!

Kam's avatar

Dorothy. I wouldn’t expect anything but a personal insult from a liberal so thank-you for not disappointing. I’m not sure what part of that post you are disputing. But let’s make a bet - 4 years from now when it’s Vance, DeSantis or other, you liberals will be regurgitating all the same old worn out phrases mentioned. Honestly now, you really just can’t stand conservatives, can you?

Dorothy's avatar

Kam: Yes I can stand conservatives if they are honest. I did not give you a personal insult. Just trying to correct your facts. Have a nice day!

Paul Murray's avatar

You'd be amazed at the books I read, but to your specific point, everybody in every situation has a "shelf life". I either got fired or quit in every job I ever had. So, I fail to see why "shelf life" is crucial in your assessment of Mr. Trump. Best always. PM

As usual you are a genius at reporting. I do appreciate your observations and opinions. I live in one of the American garbage cities (on the left coast). Both candidates are losers. One supports civil crime at the rate of $900 per day, while law abiding citizens stand I line while waiting for unhappy clerks to unlock cabinets the the thieves want. Any way. Not voting for transgenders, or legal drugs, or criminal penalties for dissenters. Be sure to vote.
