"Like many Americans, the federal government is shelling out a lot more money to cover interest payments on its debt after a series of Federal Reserve rate hikes over the past year.

The Treasury Department paid a record $213 billion in interest payments on the national debt in the last quarter of 2022, up $63 billion from the same period a year earlier."

"wasted", huh? Pretty interesting use of communist rhetoric and propaganda.

So, interest payments to the superrich who fund the American people and their elected leader's appetite for overspending is "wasted"? RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 12:08, July 18, 2023 (EDT)

Simple question: Why don't they lower the rates to 0 for 4 years and save America over 3 Trillion Dollars in doing so? This is because no one has the guts to fight the Fed. Research Central Banking, it is a Communist Tenet supported by Karl Marx in his Communist Manifesto. Governor De Santis understands high interests are dangerously harmful for the economy (although good for the central bankers) and has called for Lower Interest Rates. I'm on my phone now.

Wow! Russia's plan of invading Poland and ultimately all Europe (read Medvedev's threats to the Poles and others) has been absolutely defeated once and for all. There's no coming back after the fact that Poland has woken up to the point of spending 4% on defense. It's over. Time for Putin to go back home and hopefully someone better like Navalny - poor soul suffering in jail for loving his Country - to become Russian President in time.

"VILNIUS, July 12 (Reuters) - NATO leaders agreed on a more ambitious military spending goal at a summit in Vilnius this week, but the case of the alliance's big spender, Poland, highlights the complexity of spending the money effectively.

Poland surged to the top of NATO's spending charts this year, with the alliance's latest forecast showing it pouring 3.9% of gross domestic product into military goals, almost twice NATO's current 2% target."

Biden has recently admitted that the USA has run out of conventional munitions to send to Ukraine. This does not bode well for the Ukranians future prospects for effectively fighting the Russians - let alone kicking them out of Ukraine where the Russians have highly fortied/defended positions. Your impervious to facts on the ground because you have become a cheerleader for the corrupt country of Ukraine and you uncritically accept the propaganda arms/media of the West. And the icing on the cake is that you adamantly assert that the United States needs to urgently reduce its sovereign debt. How about the U.S. starts with ending funding for Ukraine? Conservative (talk) 19:57, July 18, 2023 (EDT)

The Bible teaches the importance of good stewardship. And funding the corrupt and authoritarian country of Ukraine (See: Corruption in Ukraine) is not good stewardship - especially when the USA government is deeply in debt.

If my household was deeply in debt say due to medical debt, I would not give money to a low-class, polymorous, unmarried couple who were always fighting that were behind in their mortgage payments who had big problems with their much stronger neighbors. Likewise the USA should stop sending their money to Ukraine. On top of this, both Ukraine and Russia face harsh demographic winters so the Ukrainian people will largely disappear in the 21st century. So in my analogy, the couple that is always fighting is largely a couple of cold fish that aren't going to have descendants.

Ukraine is such a bad investment, even if you found a patron saint who specializes in worthless causes, he would not answer your prayer regarding sufficiently funding Ukraine's military. Conservative (talk)

The definition of lslamization, Islamic domination.. Eurabia. "Britain will be fully Islamic soon" – Andrew Tate shocks fans by openly calling for the Islamisation of Britain,” by Shivam Khatwani, Sportskeeda, July 18, 2023:

Controversial social media personality Andrew Tate has openly called for the Islamisation of Britain.

Responding to the news of a Muslim billionaire winning rights to turn the Trocadero, one of London’s most famous landmarks, into a mosque, Tate expressed his happiness and had this to say about Islamic culture:

“This building is literally dead centre in the middle of London’s historic centre. Amazing news. The only alternative to Islam for the brits are pride flags as they no longer have any innate culture or patriotisim. Allah is the best of planners and I look forward to seeing The Islamic republic of Great Britistan in her final form. Alhamdulillah Britain will be fully Islamic soon.” All conservatives of any faith are against woke push. But Islamists AKA- activists of political Islam have a greater "plan."

Andrew Tate pro ISIS British-American Influencer Andrew Tate Converts To Islam, Says: ISIS Are 'The Real Muslims'; Pro-ISIS Outlet Shares Tate's Video, Expresses Support. November 1, 2022. Controversial British-American online influencer Andrew Tate, who recently converted to Islam, said in a now-deleted viral TikTok video that "ISIS are the real Muslims." The TikTok video was shared on October 25 by a pro-ISIS media outlet on Telegram, which praised Tate for his statements. Later, on October 29, Tate discussed his conversion and beliefs in an October 29 podcast with British Muslim podcaster Mohammad Hijab, saying that elites in Western cultures promote feminism so that women are forced to work outside the home while their children are indoctrinated through schools, the internet, and "the matrix." |The Vicar of Baghdad, influencer Andrew Tate in shocking claim says, ‘ISIS are the real Muslims’, FirstPost Staff, November 05, 2022 "Tate made the claim initially in a now-deleted viral TikTok video. The TikTok video was shared on 25 October by a pro-ISIS media outlet on Telegram, which praised Tate for his statements." Telling (talk) 17:34, July 19, 2023 (EDT)

Andrew Tate, what a pierce of work. He's more a reflection of the times we live in and than any individual redeeming quality he may hold. When it's easy for sociopaths to become millionaires in today's world, what does that say about social media users? RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 09:42, July 20, 2023 (EDT)

Your question is powerful.Telling (talk)

Britain is already being Islamicized.

• UK sees rapid growth in Muslim population: census, 2022. Muslim population stood at 3.9 million or 6.5 percent of the total UK population in 2021, up from 4.9 percent in 2011.
• Number of Muslims in UK up 44% in a decade, Arab News, November 2022

The 2019 journal article When will European Muslim population be majority and in which country? published in PSU Research Review indicates: "Among three scenarios, the most likely mid-point migration scenario identifies 13 countries where the Muslim population will be majority between years 2085 and 2215: Cyprus (in year 2085), Sweden (2125), France (2135), Greece (2135), Belgium (2140), Bulgaria (2140), Italy (2175), Luxembourg (2175), the UK (2180), Slovenia (2190), Switzerland (2195), Ireland (2200) and Lithuania (2215). The 17 remaining countries will never reach majority in the next 200 years"[3]

A big question is: "How fast will Bible-believing Christianity grow in Britain?" Another big question is: "Will British Muslims experience prosperity which may cause their fertility rate to drop?" Also, "Will violence erupt so Britain/UK experience a type of Reconquista?" My guess is no as far as a type of Reconquista because the UK is assimilating Muslims better than France and British society is more polite than French society. Conservative (talk) 10:52, July 20, 2023 (EDT)

Finally, Britain has to adopt of more points/merit-based system of immigration and have less chain migration. That would help slow down Islamic immigration into the UK. Conservative (talk) 11:02, July 20, 2023 (EDT)

(ec) Why do they have to become Christian in contrast to Muslim? Why not Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, secular, or any other "ism"? You are rapidly derailing this topic from what it is intended to be. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 11:06, July 20, 2023 (EDT)

There is one way into heaven and its through Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6). In addition, Bible-believing Christians are more evangelistic than Hindus and Jews. But Hindus and Orthodox Jews do have high fertility rates. But as Hindus assimilate into British society, I am guessing their fertility rate drops. For example, Rishi Sunak has 2 children and I am guessing people in India average more than 2 children. Conservative (talk) 11:16, July 20, 2023 (EDT)

India: 2.05 births per woman (2020). India is becoming more prosperous which is probably help causing their fertility rate to drop. Conservative (talk) 11:18, July 20, 2023 (EDT)

If the UK does ever have a Bible-believing King or Queen, defending Christianity is part of the job description. One of the titles of a British monarch is "Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England". And in the UK system of government, the British Monarchy is a part of the government.

Amen. If De Santis wins, America becomes Florida. An astonishing Win for Conservatives after 50-60+ years of fighting this Culture War, on Race, Gender, Life, Family, Marriage, pornography, LGBTQ, abortion, sodomy issues, ever since the "free love" sexual revolution of the 60s, whose father was the sexual pervert and wicked man Alfred Kinsey: "Death anniversary of Alfred Kinsey: ‘Father of sexual revolution’ who claimed babies have orgasms, child rape benefits victims. Alfred Kinsey was credited for authoring pioneering reports on human sexology that radically upended the prevailing view on sexual relations between humans. Kinsey’s research work is said to have influenced social and cultural values not just in the United States but across the world." https://www.opindia.com/2021/08/alfred-kinsey-reports-father-of-sexual-revolution-who-said-rape-benefits-children/

We should fight these people as we fight Commies and Nazis: fight for only one goal and only one purpose. Complete Victory. If De Santis wins, the Culture Wars are legally over and Conservatives win.

What's left of the Ukraine rump state under a new regime, without NATO presence. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 17:26, August 1, 2023 (EDT)

In 2024, we need a New American President who destroys the Deep State and puts the American Government under the Sovereignty of Christ the King. I think we can agree on that much at least, Rob. Then lower interest rates and the money paid to the Federal Reserve and the debt will decrease in time. Ukraine is tough and will survive. NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 17:35, August 1, 2023 (EDT)

Ukraine will be partitioned, experience regime change, and its prospects for growth probably won't return until 2025 at the earliest - without any NATO presence. The prospects for Western investment is debatable, but probably won't happen until UN recognition of the border changes.

As to the Zelensky regime's statement from its Economic Ministry, use common sense: (a) there will be no rebuilding and {b) no foreign investment as long as the risk of Russian missiles knocking it out remains. Insurors, like in the grain deal, will not insure anything. If whatever regime controls Kyiv, it must first make peace with Russia, recognize border changes, and become neutral (i.e. kick out NATO and pledge not to get in bed with the US, CIA, or any other hostile foreign power to Russia in the future). RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 17:42, August 1, 2023 (EDT)

Let's assume democracy and elections are ever restored in Ukraine, and let's further assume Zelensky has not fled to his estates in Israel, Italy, or Florida yet with his looted millions and wants to stand for reelection. And let's also assume 73% of Ukraine's 350,000 dead, or 255,000 voters Zelensky killed in a war he knew he could not win without NATO "boots on the ground". Those 255,000 dead voters all have family that remembers all this stuff. Of the 10 million who fled the country (an estimate, and many fled to Russia after the US-backed Nazis began killing people in 2014 before Zelensky was elected), let's assume that 73% of 6-8 million (taking the higher figure of 5.8 million) voted for Zelensky because of his promise to make peace, which was an obvious lie. I don't see where he has much of a voter base left, and helps explain why he cancelled elections (in addition to outlawing opposition parties in Ukraine's "democracy").

The Way to Peace is by Peace through Strength: how the Communist Soviet Union fell in the first place, which Putin claims was the Greatest Geo-Political Catastrophe of the 20th Century (thus supposedly worse than the Bolshevik Revolution) and wants to rebuild. This War could end by Dec 2024, with Ukraine joining NATO, and then Russia changes, transforms to a true democracy, and itself joins NATO, by say, 2030 at latest. If Putin doesn't leave in 2024, he could by 2030. NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 05:44, August 2, 2023 (EDT)

"Former President Trump was met with a chorus of “no’s” when he asked those in attendance at a rally in Erie, Pa., on Saturday if he should participate in the first GOP presidential debate next month.

Trump noted that he has received many questions about whether he will attend the first debate hosted by Fox News in Milwaukee on Aug. 23. He has previously hinted that he might skip the debate, arguing that Fox is a “hostile network” and his strong polling that positions him as the frontrunner should mean that he does not need to debate with the other candidates who are far behind him."

This is the beginning of the downfall of Donald Trump. Show me someone who is afraid to have his ideas freely challenged in a Public Forum such as a Presidential Debate, and I'll show you someone who lacks competence to be President in 2024.

"Donald Trump has decided that he won’t participate in the first Republican presidential debate.

If Trump had decided to attend the debate, set for August 23, he would have faced off against Ron DeSantis, who is the closest behind Trump in the polls (although still by a big stretch). Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Chris Christie, and Doug Burgum have also qualified.

However, Trump announced Monday that he has no plans to take part. “Let them debate so I can see who I MIGHT consider for Vice President!” he wrote on Truth Social. - User: NishantXavier

Few people are going to watch the debate if Trump does not attend. Trump will continue to starve his opponents of attention while he keeps getting headlines.

But let them do what they want. Personally, I think this is a huge mistake for them, not showing up for the debates, and allowing De Santis to hog the limelight.

Does De Santis or his Team read Conservapedia? I mentioned Trump added 8 TN to the Debt, and De Santis mentions this in 5-6 Mins.

De Santis has amazing, impeccable, qualifications. Excellent Congressman elected 3 times, graduate from Harvard and Yale, Successful Governor, No.1 Economy in America in Florida, as even the liberal Media has been forced to acknowledge recently, Pro-Life, Anti-Woke Military Veteran, Faithful Father and Husband. That people choose "I molested the genitals of Multiple Women and added 8 TN Dollars to the Debt Trump because I'm rich and can get away with it" over him only shows how right the quote attributed to Winston Churchill is: "The best Argument against Democracy is a 5 minute Conversation with the Average Voter".

More excuse-making for "grab-them-by-the-*female-genitals*", Trump. No, it was Trump who did that, and if Trump gets another term, he'll do it again, debt will surpass 40 TN and there's virtually no coming back from that. De Santis will run Record Budget Surpluses, like he did in Florida, and reduce the debt to 15-20 TN in Two Terms. Choose De Santis for America's Future or "grab them by the" etc if you don't care for it. It's that simple. Trump is treating America like those women whom he bragged he grabbed them by the etc". NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 15:15, August 5, 2023 (EDT)

In the years from 2025-2029, 2 trillion per year will be added to the national debt by periodic debt ceiling increases, barring unseen events such a pandemic or war mobilization (in which case the spending will be higher) no matter who is president, from whatever party.

A reduction in federal spending would cause a contraction in the economy (similar to what happened to Russia in the 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union); alternatively, federal tax increases of $2 trillion per year would have virtually the same effect, strangling growth and setting off a contraction. 15:31, August 5, 2023 (EDT)RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!}

"Sens. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) and Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) both said in interviews on Sunday that they think NATO expansion into Asia is inevitable and touted the strength of the alliance.

“I think it is, and I think it was a positive summit,” Sullivan told Chuck Todd, when he asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” whether he thought NATO expansion was inevitable.

Indian-American Nikki Haley has a very perceptive understanding of the threat that Communist China poses to the Free World, which includes both the US and India, beside Europe, and all democratic countries everywhere. Democracy is a Good Ideology, not a Geographic Location. The sooner the Free World wakes up to the fact that we are in Cold War 2.0, and the New Evil Empire is Communist China (which doesn't even make a pretext of democracy; yet absurdly is a member of the UN Security Council; as for Russia under Putin, while it does have elections, it's not a true democracy in practice either, as shown by the fact that Putin has thrown Opposition Leader Alexey Navalny in jail, and killed Boris Nemtsov outside the Kremlin sometime ago, while sadly much of the world looked the other way with the classic modern philosophy/religion of I-dont-careism, which we're now regretting), the better for us all. [The Commies/Leftists trying to do the same in the US are also wrong, but two wrongs don't make a right; Putin is wrong and Biden is also wrong - no political prosecution/persecution of opponents] If the UN and the world is to succeed where the League of Nations failed, and WWIII is to be prevented, then this must be done.

"A few months after I left the United Nations, I gave a speech to the Asian Leadership Conference about communist China. I warned about its growing military power, its aggression and its threat to America’s survival. I urged U.S. leaders to “think about China critically, creatively and courageously.”

Nah-ga-doit. India is already part of the anti-colonial BRICS, and doesn't want to get mixed up with the imperialists again. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 19:00, August 5, 2023 (EDT)

So, if you disagree with Imperialism, as you said, then why are you supporting the Imperialistic Annexation of Ukraine?

Also, do you agree with this, from your article: "Liberals sometimes say that U.S foreign policy is "imperialistic", when it is in fact not. Similarly, left-wing groups such as Communists tended to refer to America and the Western Powers as "imperialists" when fighting against them, even when they aren't actually that, or at least not anymore, as well as referring to their own actions as being "anti-imperialist" despite being a LOT closer to imperialism due to trying to take over various countries by deception or force (as the USSR did in most of Eastern Europe through direct force and in parts of Africa, Latin America, and to a certain extent parts of Southeast Asia, America and Western Europe through sedition and insurrection (with America and Western Europe in particular being done via Soviet-orchestrated riots via the student body such as Kent State), and as China did in much of Southeast Asia)."?

Next, Indians' 2 favorite countries are America and Russia. India won't favor one against the other, but if America helps India against China, for e.g. that will certainly be appreciated and reciprocated. India's Population gives it Demographic Advantages in War Time should any conflict with China break out and thus is Good for America also. America can supply military power and technological strength to the Alliance. A Direct Alliance between America and India would be Good too, otherwise it can be done via NATO.

"“These insults are so phony, these insults are juvenile. That is not the way a great nation should be conducting itself. That is not the way the president of the United States should be conducting himself,” DeSantis said on WMUR’s “Conversation With the Candidate,” which was taped Tuesday.

DeSantis said at the town hall that he’s not going to insult somebody’s looks or dress and wouldn’t teach his kids to treat people like that.

“As Republicans, that will cause us to lose if we behave that way. There are millions of voters out there who do not like what Biden is doing to this country,” DeSantis added. “They do not like the direction the country is going in. But they aren’t going to sign up for a candidate who is behaving like that. So, let’s be better. Let’s look higher, and let’s set a good standard for our children to follow.”

While he acknowledged he was a “big supporter” of Trump, DeSantis called him out for running on failed promises from 2016, like eliminating the national debt, having Mexico pay for a border wall and draining the “swamp” in Washington, DC."

"Him and Trump are probably more aligned than most people realize, except there's not all that drama surrounding De Santis" https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pGftHSvF3h8?feature=share

What Megyn Kelly thinks of Ron De Santis: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pNWD-lo6FQc?feature=share NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 12:14, August 6, 2023 (EDT) I think De Santis will kill it in the debates - both with Haley, Pence, and the rest of the Republican Field, who he knows much better than imo, then with liberal Newsom - and be leading by December.

"Overall, Mr. Trump has the support of 44 percent of Iowans polled, 10 percentage points lower than the commanding position he holds with Republicans nationwide. Mr. DeSantis is second with 20 percent, slightly better than his 17 percent standing nationwide. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina has the support of 9 percent of likely Iowa Republican caucusgoers, triple his national standing. Mr. Scott’s favorability rating among Iowa Republicans — 70 percent — is on par with Mr. Trump’s 72 percent and just behind Mr. DeSantis’s 77 percent."

De Santis' high favorable ratings of 77% - higher than either Trump or Scott - means that his long term prospects continue to look good, short term noise notwithstanding. One Good Performance in the Debates - and he'll surely do well in all - might be all it takes to zoom.

Continued: "The state is the first of the G.O.P. presidential nominating contests, and it looms large for Mr. Trump’s comeback. In 2016, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas edged out Mr. Trump and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida. Iowa’s Republican base is strongly religious and white, and its position on the political calendar has ensured that voters get a good look at the candidates before they go to the caucuses. The power of evangelical leaders, some of whom are ready to move past Mr. Trump, could give other candidates an advantage when Iowans caucus on Jan. 15."

Religious Voters get it: "According to the poll, Mr. DeSantis is seen as the more moral candidate, and although the Florida governor has been knocked for some awkward moments on the campaign trail, he is seen as considerably more likable than Mr. Trump. More than half of those surveyed said the term “likable” was a better fit for Mr. DeSantis, compared with 38 percent for Mr. Trump.

The poll also suggests that Mr. DeSantis’s argument that he is the more electable Republican may be resonating with voters, at least in Iowa. Just under half of those surveyed said Mr. Trump is the candidate more able to beat Mr. Biden, while 40 percent said Mr. DeSantis is. Nationally, Mr. Trump holds a 30-percentage-point lead on the same question." And the National Numbers don't matter now. Only the Iowa numbers do. Then the next few states. National numbers will be in great flux by the time the other primaries come around.

Then: "Robert Corry, a business consultant in Grinnell, Iowa, praised Mr. DeSantis’s stewardship of Florida’s sprawling economy, his ability to “get things done” and his “exemplary, outstanding life." Amen.

NYPOST on the same poll: "Trump’s poll numbers dipped six percentage points in the aftermath of the classified documents charges, whereas an earlier indictment in Manhattan for business fraud triggered a surge in voters support for the former president.

Following Trump in the NYT/Siena College Iowa poll were DeSantis (20%), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) (9%), entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy (5%), former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley (4%) and former Vice President Mike Pence (3%). The 24-point spread is the closest DeSantis has come to Trump since early last month.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, 44, is polling at 20% support among likely Iowa GOP caucus voters, compared with his 17% support nationally. AP In a hypothetical head-to-head matchup, Trump led DeSantis by 55% to 39% in Iowa, but the poll showed some positive signs for the Florida governor.

DeSantis had the highest favorability rating of anyone in the Republican field in both raw (77%) and net terms (+59). Trump had the second-highest raw favorability rating (72%), but the third-highest net rating (+46) behind Scott (70% approval, +58 net rating)

Iowa voters also said that compared with Trump, DeSantis was more “moral” (57% to 30%) and “likable” (52% to 38%)."

NATO has not been defeated in Ukraine yet. The war in Ukraine is not over. But I do believe that it is very unlikely that Ukraine will expel Russia from Ukraine.

Professor John Joseph Mearsheimer very recently had an interview - like about 3 days ago and he was very informative. See: John Mearsheimer: Ukraine war is a long-term danger - Interview with Gray Zone.

Measheimer said in the interview that: He believes that Russia will gain more land in places where there are a lot of Russian speaking people and will likely wind up with as much as 38% of Ukraine; it's going to be a long war with a danger of escalation which could include tactical nukes which is a very dangerous thing due to further potential escalation; even if the war ends there could be flare-ups like border skirmishes which could reignite the war - so there will be smoldering embers below the surface that could flare up; Russia will likely win the war, but likely at an unacceptable cost so essentially it will be a pyrrhic victory (so again, there is the risk of tactical nukes, etc.); the West was very foolish and provoked the war and miscalculated; the war will likely wind up a tragedy for Ukraine with Ukraine being a wrecked rump state. He said other informative things too. Conservative (talk) 03:44, August 3, 2023 (EDT)

NATO should become an Equal Rights Alliance that welcomes East Asian and Middle Eastern Democratic Countries. Otherwise, it would be a Racist Alliance that deliberately excludes Non-White countries.

Antony Blinken tweet one day after the Biden regime indicted Donald Trump on bogus insurrection charges. [1]

Condemnable. America and Russia, who were once Allies and Friends (see below), should, once the dust here settles - and Putin at least has a change of heart about invading and imperialistically annexing Ukraine, or the government democratically changes and Navalny or someone else Anti-Ukraine War gets in - become Allies and Friends once more. An America-Russia Alliance that promotes Christianity is World Atheism's and the Globalists Greatest Fear. Putin however is also harming that Cause by harming fellow Orthodox Christians in 90% Christian Ukraine, which is why many Bishops and Priests on the Ground there in Ukraine have justly condemned Putin's Unjust War, which also harms even Russia herself in the long run. Navalny has rightly pointed out it is in Russia's Best Interest to pacifically withdraw.

Here's the Poem American Poet Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote commemorating Russia's Great Actions in defense of America during Lincoln's Time:

"American poet Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. commemorated Russia’s support of the Union in the following poem:

Shadowed so long by the storm-cloud of danger,

Thou whom the prayers of an empire defend,

Welcome, thrice welcome! but not as a stranger,

Come to the nation that calls thee its friend!

Bleak are our shores with the blasts of December,

Fettered and chill is the rivulet’s flow;

Throbbing and warm are the hearts that remember

Who was our friend when the world was our foe.

Look on the lips that are smiling to greet thee,

See the fresh flowers that a people has strewn

Count them thy sisters and brothers that meet thee;

Guest of the Nation, her heart is thine own!

Fires of the North, in eternal communion,

Blend your broad flashes with evening’s bright star!

God bless the Empire that loves the Great Union;

Strength to her people! Long life to the Czar!

Demographics plays a part: "Africa remains the region with the highest fertility at 4.7 children per woman. Europe has the lowest fertility of 1.6 children per woman." https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/fertility/world-fertility-patterns-2015.pdf

Anti-Christians, like Anti-European Communists, who sometimes were Anti-White Christians and Anti-White Racists in particular, promoted Abortion and Contraception in order to damage European Demographics. Europe needs to outlaw Abortion, go back to its Christian Roots, and the Biblical Commandment: "Be fruitful and multiply" (Gen 1:28), which command shows that sexual love in holy matrimony was blessed by God for the purpose of bearing and raising children. Any use of sex outside of marriage, or non-procreatively like sodomy/"homosexuality", is therefore sinful. It also has devastating demographic consequences in time, which can only be overturned by a Culture of Life, outlawing Abortion, and promoting Matrimony and having children. In War time, this matters especially, because such cultures can afford only much smaller Armies. Imagine if China mobilized 5% of its population for a War against Europe for e.g. Europe would have no chance. Europe needs to go back to its Christian Roots, abandon its Post-Christian Atheism, its Malthusian Population Control False Principles, and only then it can become strong and influential again.

I removed the MPR news item as the video merely claimed that Putin said that Russia was in the midst of doing things so it will be a top 5 economy in the world in 2024. The video in question is located HERE. The video was posted by the BORZZIKMAN YouTube channel.

Presently, Russia is not among the top 10 world economies in terms of annual GNP (See: The top 10 largest economies in the world in 2023, Forbes India, 2023).

And if a Republican is elected president in the USA in 2024, USA oil/gas production will be ramped up and that would likely reduce the price that Russia can get for its oil/gas as the market would be more competitive (But this will not happen overnight and would happen over that president's 4-year term). Russia's oil and gas industry accounted for over 17 percent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) between January and April 2023.[7] Conservative (talk) 16:09, August 6, 2023 (EDT)

Note that Poland's Ultimate Goal is 5% of GDP on Defense: "Poland will soon spend 3% of its GDP on defence spending, while the ultimate target is 5%, ruling Law and Justice party leader Jarosław Kaczyński has said.

Poland spends 2.4% of its gross domestic product on defence, which means Poland has already met the NATO target for 2024 as agreed at the Newport summit eight years ago.

Poland intends to increase defence spending further “so that Russia does not attack us,” said Kaczyński at a party rally in Płock in central Poland. “We need a strong army for deterrence,” he added." https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/short_news/poland-to-spend-5-of-gdp-on-defence/

This means that Poland alone will soon be stronger than Russia's Military, and Russian Dreams of an Invasion of Europe are over/history.

See this for what Medvedev wants/wanted to do, but won't be able to now, God willing: "Medvedev wrote on Twitter that he saw "no point in maintaining diplomatic relations with Poland" in which "there is no one but Russophobes in power." He added that Ukraine "is full of Polish mercenaries, who should be ruthlessly exterminated like stinky rats."

Since the start of the Kremlin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Medvedev, the current deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, has used inflammatory rhetoric against the West and even suggested that Moscow takes its war as far as its border with Poland."

Poland, NATO, and the MSM are guilty of what they accuse Putin and Russia of - dreams of rebuilding the Empire. And all the horse crap stories about Putin and Russia that claim he wants to rebuild the Empire come from, guess where, Polish intelligence. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 09:57, August 7, 2023 (EDT)

The big question is, in the Polish democracy, do a majority of Poles want to re-establish the Empire, and not just the political party in power now that gives justification for NATO's continued future but does not possess "European values" and is constantly at odds with EU. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 10:01, August 7, 2023 (EDT)

Poland's dreams of Empire are a geopolitical fantasy. Poland has no natural borders - it sits in the midst of the flat, open North European Plane where it disappeared completely for a century and a quarter between two warring parties. And when it finally was resurrected in 1919, it was recreated by foreigners.

So after 70 years the Germans wanted to finally toss the drunk Americans out, Poland's PiS party stepped up to justify NATO's continued existence, become the recipient of US tax dollars, and exacerbate East-West tensions. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 10:12, August 7, 2023 (EDT)

Okay, if the invasion didn't begin until February 24, 2023, how were 1.3 million refugees recorded as "due to the Russian invasion" on December 31, 2022?

It's by hammering the same lies and buzz phrases over and over again that some of it eventually sticks. Remember, propaganda begins from the premise that you are stupid.

Before the Russian Special Military Operation, there already were 1.3 million refugees fleeing the US-backed Nazi regime in Kyiv. More than another million fled after February 24, 2023.

“This, and more, is why @realDonaldTrump supporters are looking for another candidate,” Vander Plaats wrote. “The facts aren’t lining up with the repetitive rhetoric. This is the #swamp.”

What does Putin have to do with Iowa Evangelical Christians like Bob Vander Plaats choosing Gov. Ron De Santis over Weak-on-Woke Trump? NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 17:17, August 7, 2023 (EDT)

DeSantis is pro-Nazi; Trump opposes the neocon warmongers. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 17:48, August 7, 2023 (EDT)

De Santis is a Patriotic Soldier and Good Christian Family Man. Trump is a Coward who fled the Draft, called his battle with STDs his "own personal Vietnam", bragged about molesting the genitals of multiple women in the most vulgar way, and doesn't care for anyone beside himself. De Santis, being a Soldier, will not start any unjust and unnecessary War. Necessary Wars of Just Self-Defense are another matter. But all that is beside the point, because the Iowa Evangelicals don't support him because of those Wars; rather, because if De Santis becomes President, the Culture Wars are over, the baby-killing commies/nazis lose, and Pro-Life/Marriage Conservative Christians win.

DeSantis has already backed the Nazis. How do you walk that back? (he probably will now that CNN reports 55% of Americans oppose it. What does that say about any supposed 'moral conviction' the man has?) RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 19:24, August 7, 2023 (EDT)

The Ukraine War may well have ended by Jan 20, 2025, when President De Santis takes Office, so it's a Non-Issue for me. I support De Santis not to win the Ukraine War - Poland's 5% of GDP is arguably enough for that - but rather to win the 60+ year Culture War. NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 20:07, August 7, 2023 (EDT)

I seriously doubt if the Polish people support 5% military spending. Or if the Germans and Russians are okay with a North Korea-type neighbor living in perpetual war. The warmongers are more likely to get tossed out first - assuming the NATO globalists haven't rigged Polish elections, as well. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 20:16, August 7, 2023 (EDT)

It's time we stop allowing the Left to gaslight us that Strong Christian Conservatives are allegedly "unelectable". They are not.

"In a 2020 Gallup poll, 25% of Americans said they were Catholic." See: "Meanwhile, in 2020, 25% of Americans said they are Catholic, and 2% were Jewish. Over the past two decades, the proportions of Americans without a religious identity have more than tripled from 6% in 2000 to 19% in 2020." Missed the Link for the Gallup Poll: [14] Again, Evangelicals comprise another roughly 25%: "Comprising nearly a quarter of the U.S. population, evangelicals are a diverse group drawn from a variety of denominational backgrounds, including Baptist, Mennonite, Methodist, Pentecostal, Plymouth Brethren, Quaker, Reformed and nondenominational churches.[2][3][4]" [15]

It's time we make those numbers mean something. US Population is around 330 MN. 50% of that is 165 MN. Let's divide voters into roughly 5 demographics by age (1) below voting age, (2) 19-36 (3) 37-54 (4) 55-72 (5) 73-90+. Assuming for the sake of brevity that these demographics are roughly evenly or uniformly distributed (i.e. that there are an equal number of people in each age demographic), that still leaves 4/5th of that Population as voters, i.e. (4/5)*165=132 MN. Next, let's assume Conservatives target and win just 75% of this Group, All Christians, Catholic and Evangelical Christians alike. 75%=(3/4)*132=99 MN, which means this number alone is enough to Win.

In 2020, 80 MN was sufficient to win. And this is to say nothing of Economic Conservatives, Fiscal Conservatives, Foreign Policy Conservatives, Job-Oriented Conservatives, Anti-Illegal Immigration Conservatives, the whole spectrum of the traditional Conservative Base a Solid Conservative like De Santis will attract beside the above. Nikki Haley is right to point out "I have a particular message for my fellow Republicans: We’ve lost the popular vote in seven of the last eight presidential elections. Our cause is right—but we have failed to win the confidence of a majority of Americans. Well—that ends today." [16]

Well, one way for that to end is for Conservative Christians to be boldly Conservative Christian while promoting the Common Good of All.

1 Jn 3: "9No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.

More on Love and Hatred

11For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 12Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous. 13Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters, b if the world hates you. 14We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. 15Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.

16This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? 18Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."

Well, you know, Putin forgave the Germans who killed his brother. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 21:10, August 8, 2023 (EDT)

This is an important point to consider; Putin's older brother (Igor, I think his name was) starved to death during the Siege of Leningrad. His mother nearly died, too. Vladimir was born after the war, and knew how the death of his older brother broke his mother's heart, yet she taught him about Christianity and told him they must forgive the Germans (and that not all German soldiers were Nazis. They simply were doing their duty their country assigned them). So unlike his parents and older brother, Putin is of the generation that had to seek reconciliation with their most hated enemies, and put the racial conflict between German and Slav behind them. Putin, like Maria Zakharova as well, have done an admirable job in leadership in this regard, and one can see how troubled they are about the globalists and Satanists who have tried to reopen the wounds between Germany and Russia.

Wow. De Santis bags a big endorsement. Those Steve Deace has endorsed have won Iowa in the past. And therefore De Santis likely will too. And if De Santis wins Iowa, the race could narrow down to 3 candidates, and De Santis would emerge as a strong favorite. Truly, as Deace says: "frankly I have never seen it, when it comes to the issues that are going to decide the future for our children and grandchildren, who has more knowledge, more willingness, more resume, in understanding them, what to do about them, and then actually doing it. I’ve never seen anything like what Ron DeSantis has done in Florida". The only argument against De Santis is that he can't win. Well, that's changing.

"Conservative Iowa talk show host Steve Deace threw his support behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s presidential bid Friday.

“I’m endorsing Ron DeSantis for president because I think he’s the strongest leader in the race. I think that’s proven. I’ve just seen a level of leadership, strength, that I’ve just not seen in this era,” the host said on “The Steve Deace Show.”

I’ve seen a lot of good people come and go, but frankly I have never seen it, when it comes to the issues that are going to decide the future for our children and grandchildren, who has more knowledge, more willingness, more resume, in understanding them, what to do about them, and then actually doing it. I’ve never seen anything like what Ron DeSantis has done in Florida,” he continued.

In a press release, DeSantis’s campaign referred to Deace as an “Iowa Kingmaker.” Deace endorsed 2008 Iowa caucus winner Mike Huckabee and 2016 winner Ted Cruz."

"Deace endorsed 2008 Iowa caucus winner Mike Huckabee and 2016 winner Ted Cruz" says it all. Did either win the caucus, let alone the nomination or general election? RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 20:28, August 11, 2023 (EDT)

Yes, but both of them were weak candidates with many flaws. De Santis is a a very strong candidate and nearly flawless. The most common argument against him is he can't win the primary. NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 20:31, August 11, 2023 (EDT)

So Deace isn't really a kingmaker, is he? RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 23:19, August 11, 2023 (EDT)

He is - in Iowa. He by himself cannot swing an entire election, but he can give future President De Santis the Momentum he needs to knock most other candidates besides Trump and himself out of the race. Once it comes down to 2 or 3 candidates, it looks very good for De Santis. Cruz couldn't defeat Trump because of his fundamental weakness as a candidate. De Santis will because of his fundamental strength. NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 02:35, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

I don't think so. It's just a case of bloated rhetoric. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 05:38, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

Christians should carefully distinguish being Pro-Israel (as Christ and His Apostles are), and Anti-Pharisaic Judaism (which Christ and His Apostles were). Pharisaic Judaism is Evil. It is called the Synagogue of Satan in Revelation 3:9. It is based on the false teaching that Jesus Christ is not the Son of God and that His Disciples must be Persecuted, St. John and St. Paul, and above all Jesus Christ Himself censures and condemns it severely. While the whole world knows that Christendom stands with Israel and supports its right to exist sometimes "contra mundum" (against the world - against Liberals and Islamists for e.g.), and we do it for Jesus Christ's sake, many Judases in Israel attack and spit on our Christian Clergy. This is unacceptable. 2.6 Billion Christians should put strong pressure on them to stop.

It's a touchy subject, and not really for MPR. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 22:55, August 11, 2023 (EDT)

I'll spell it out one time, and after this we'll have to move this discussion off Main Page talk: Many Israelis consider Messianic Jews as traitors to the Jewish people. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 22:57, August 11, 2023 (EDT)

Furthermore, CBN itself can be criticized for peddling globalist, neo-Nazi Ukrainian agitprop, as recently as just last week. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 23:13, August 11, 2023 (EDT)

Ok, pls feel free to move it, then. I have no major issue with any ideology as long as it is non-violent and doesn't persecute Christains. When it starts to do so, that's a major problem. Working on that article for Conservapedia and will have it shortly. NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 02:34, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

Christie is a Moderate, so far too liberal for my tastes, but he makes some valid criticisms of Trump. Siphoning off campaign funds to family and legal fees being one example.

https://youtu.be/VRG73YBV5As NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 02:38, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

Christie put Jared Kushner's father in prison, so there's more to this dispute below the surface than meets the eye. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 05:35, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

Ok, wouldn't know about that. NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 06:23, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

Digression: Like Trump, the Kushner family built a real estate empire in New York and New Jersey. Christie & Rudy Guiliani both were US Attorneys who advised Trump in his 2016 campaign. As a US Attorney, Christie prosecuted Kushner's father and put him in prison, which was the beginning of his political career that got him elected NJ governor. Jarad had to take over the Kushner family empire at the age of 27 when the old man was put in prison. When Trump was elected in 2016, Trump appointed Kushner to head the Trump Transition team. Kushner's first action was to push Christie out, who unlike Guiliani, then had no influence throughout Trump's first term (except perhaps maybe endorsing the recommendation of Chris Wray as FBI director). So there may now be some lingering bad blood on Christie's part, only this time directed at Trump himself, and not just Kushner toward Christie. So I wouldn't take anything Christie says or does serious; none of his criticisms are to defend the party or the country, given Trump's successful record in his first term. It's just childish and stupid on Christie's part. He doesn't have the strength to get re-elected governor of NJ. He just has a too high opinion of himself and only hurts himself when he opens his mouth. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 06:44, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

The Kushner's own thousands of residential apartments in New York and New Jersy, so of course they are hated by thousands of renters. Trump pretty much sticks to business properties and not residential. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 07:02, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

Persecution of Christians is coming even to Western Countries like America and European Countries. Only Strong Conservatives like a De Santis can stop it before it breaks out. Choose wisely. NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 02:41, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

If we wake up to what's happening in the wider world, especially e.g. North Africa, the Middle East, parts of India and China (what Great Commission Researchers call the 10/40 Window (ah, in red, I see a new article coming up shortly)) but also increasingly even in Western Europe and North America, then we see Strong Christian Conservative Candidates like De Santis who know how to beat and fight the Left and Win are the Logical Choice. NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 06:26, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

From Visual Politik EN. Not explicitly conservative, but decent: https://youtu.be/UNIF4dc4SAM NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 07:10, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

"In a memo sent to donors and supporters last week, DeSantis’s team emphasized that the debate was not about “California vs. Florida.”

“Ron DeSantis is debating Gavin Newsom to highlight the choice facing American voters next year,” the memo reads. “The left wants America to follow the path of California’s decline — Ron DeSantis wants to reignite the American Dream, restore sanity and ensure our nation’s best days are ahead.” From: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4149369-newsom-desantis-see-clear-upsides-with-fall-debate/ NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 07:12, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

De Santis often refers to the Leftist Policies driving California into the ground as the "Californication" of America.

Meanwhile, even the liberal media, defeated by superior economic performance and the basic facts on the ground, is forced to concede, about De Santis's Florida: "CNBC: Florida has the best economy in the U.S. The state has seen an incredible comeback from the coronavirus pandemic, with a surge in employment — mostly from the leisure and hospitality sector — and record numbers of visitors in the first quarter of 2023." https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/2023/07/17/florida-cnbc-worst-states-live-work-desantis-woke-act-forbes/70419402007/ No wonder many are fleeing California and travelling to Florida. Says it all. NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 07:14, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

I don't see it that way, at all. All DeSantis is doing is raising the profile of Newsom at RFK Jr's expense, doing the DNC establishment's dirty work for them while he himself stands little chance of defeating Trump, (barring Trump getting whacked or some other unfortunate circumstance). RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 07:32, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

This is what you call the Uniparty at work. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 07:35, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

footnote: The Biden junta denied RFK Jr Secret Service protection a second time now, after the Ecuadorian presidential candidate just got whacked. So the killers are out there. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 07:41, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

' I agree with RFK Jr on some things, and he certainly deserves Secret Service Protection. "Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday that if he’s elected president, he’d be open to considering Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for a position in his administration with either the Food and Drug Administration or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. DeSantis, a Republican, made the remarks in an interview with the OutKick’s Clay Travis, who asked him about Kennedy as a possible running mate.

DeSantis signaled that he was uninterested in that possibility, noting that Kennedy would be out of step with much of the GOP base on some issues, like climate change. But DeSantis said he and Kennedy were aligned on medical issues, including their criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was the government’s top infectious disease expert and became an outspoken advocate of Covid-19 prevention measures."

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/ron-desantis-suggests-rfk-jr-role-fda-cdc-rcna96546 De Santis commended RFK Jr too. NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 09:50, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

The DNC establishment is plotting to dump Biden (and Kamala, which proves they are a bunch of racists) and elevate Newsom; why is DeSantis colluding with the DNC establishment and stabbing RFK JR and a populist movement in the Democrat party in the back? What's in it for him? RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 10:36, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

De Santis isn't colluding with anyone. Fake News. He just agrees with RFK that Fauci was a Bad Guy. Why didn't Trump fire Fauci? NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 10:59, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

If he's not colluding, how was the Fox debate deal set up with a guy who hasn't even announced his candidacy for president yet? (but Newsom did establish a Super PAC for fundraising after the debate deal was made). RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 13:00, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

PeterKa and I have discussed this before which is Archived somewhere; the Democrats have decided to dump Biden, but the problem is they don't want Kamala, either. So Newsom is a stealth candidate who will jump into the race sometime early next year. Right now, the priority is subvert RFK Jr, which DeSantis is helping, despite himself being a longshot candidate.

No amount of professional public relations electioneering hype, like calling some unheard of flunky in Iowa a "kingmaker", can hide that. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 13:00, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

If you pay attention, you are getting a good education on the difference between being an idealogue and a realist (or pragmatist). RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 13:08, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

You didn't answer the question, Rob: why didn't Trump fire Fauci? Face it, Trump badly mishandled Covid, while De Santis was excellent against illegal, unethical and unlawful untested vaccine mandates. Even many Trump supporters told Donald Duck: "We have lost people because you (Trump) supported the Jab (the untested vaccine mandates)". Recall RFK is against that and De Santis commended RFK for that.

De Santis doesn't discriminate between opponents. He takes them as it comes. It was Sean Hannity at Fox News who offered him, and being the confident outspoken conservative that he is, he accepted. Where's Trump exactly? Why's he hiding and running away from debating even Conservative Republican Opponents? People only run away and hide, like e.g. Richard Dawkins did when William Craig challenged him to debate at Oxford, if they have some thing to hide or their position is weak. Trumps running away suggests one of those. De Santis had nothing to hide, and his position is very strong. So he accepted Hannitys offer. Simple. NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 15:25, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

Fauci's crimes were not discovered until 2021, after Trump was deposed from office. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 16:09, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

The earliest reference we have to verifiable evidence of Fauci's crimes is dated June 21, 2021 in Conservapedia proven right. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 16:12, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

This is a somewhat disingenuous comment: "We have lost people because you (Trump) supported the Jab (the untested vaccine mandates)". Trump never supported vaccine mandates. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 16:16, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

Yes, I'll have to correct the part in brackets. Trump supported the jab but not a mandate.

He did encourage his supporters to get jabbed/vaccinated: "Former US President Donald Trump has urged his Republican supporters to be vaccinated against Covid-19, saying he would recommend it. In a TV interview, he said the vaccine was "safe" and "something that works".

Mr Trump's conservative fan base has been one of the main groups resistant to the vaccine programme." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56424614 NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 18:21, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

Ch 4, St. Petersburg, July 21, 2021: DeSantis: ‘These vaccines are saving lives’.

You're barking up the wrong tree. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 19:28, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

Yes, De Santis thought so for a while, deferring to medical health authorities, but then reversed himself when it became clear they were pushing an agenda that had nothing to do with Authentic Science. He's been clear and consistent since then against it. Why hasn't Trump?

And beside all that, Trump should show up and debate. If Trump had a strong position and was unafraid of honest questions, he would. NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 00:35, August 13, 2023 (EDT)

Wow. This Guy is a Rock Star with all his Amazing Qualifications and Magnificent Accomplishments.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict, if he becomes President, forget just J.F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, but more he'll be in the League of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.

Sample Comments in the You Tube Link:

"1. "DeSantis earned almost dozen medals. He is a founder of the Freedom Caucus. He turned Florida bright red and has signed groundbreaking legislation. This ad is WAY too short when it comes to what this man has done. Good man. Keeps his promises. This country needs his competence and drive in the White House."

2. "Maybe the new campaign manager was a good idea. This clip is effective 👌🏻"

3. "We need Ron DeSantis to be President! He's a true servant leader with a proven record. My vote remains with him." NishantXavier^{For Christ the King} 08:24, August 13, 2023 (EDT)
