We were all wondering when it first came out if it were an April Fool’s joke, but it does appear that Biden is denying he proclaimed trans visibility for Easter. Now, to be sure, one must think carefully about this: the Party Line on it now is that the day has been around since 2009 and it just happened to fall on Easter…and, hey, isn’t this just as important as the observation of the resurrection? So, it might be just on that level that Biden is denying he made it happen – that he was just rote doing what you’re supposed to do on national observations that we all participate in. Because, you know, we all can’t wait for trans day of visibility to roll around each year.
That, of course, is actually damage control: someone decided that Biden and the rest of the Democrats would make a to do about trans on Easter as a malicious insult…and they thought that our outrage would get blowback that would work to Democrat advantage. When it was actually done – when the thing was in the public square – they suddenly realized how absolutely hideous it was and now they’re trying to back and fill.
My advice: forget the polls. They are going to fluctuate a bit back and forth. Carter had a 7 point lead in Gallup in April of 1980. Dukakis was down 2 in April of 1988, up 16 in May. On and on like that. This is what I think is the real dynamic of 2024: that people are just getting sick of it all. The trans on Easter thing is just another element in a large tapestry of things people just don’t like about the Biden years. The biggest thing will remain the price of gas and groceries but in all respects, just nothing is going right. That is why Democrats are now pinning their hopes on abortion: they just managed to get a pro-abortion amendment on the Florida ballot. They’ll do that in as many States as they can. Trust me on this: by September it’ll be 24/7 abortion. It did work partially in 2022. Will it work again? I doubt it. If it does then it means we never had a chance, anyway: if America returns Biden to office just to make sure children can be killed, then we’re out of the political market altogether. But outside a desperation move like that, there’s nothing Biden and the Democrats can do – any policy that would actually fix the problems they’ve created (notably reducing spending to cut inflation and closing the border to stop illegal immigration) is opposed by too large a part of the Democrat base. They are caught in a bind and can only hope that something else gets them out of it. Abortion is something else. So, too, things like trans day of visibility…but that has already backfired.
People are tired. Biden was supposed to be a placeholder. The Not Trump. He wasn’t supposed to do anything but end Covid and then let things coast until someone else got in. But they forgot he is senile – and when not senile, stupid. He isn’t running the show. He lacks the wit or will to ride herd on the far left like Obama and Clinton did. Thus the far left is setting the policy – but nobody ever voted for the far left. The more they do, the worse it gets for Biden.
Louis Conter, the last survivor of the USS Arizona, passed away. He was 102. God bless the man. Almost all the WWII vets are gone. Korean vets, too. The old soldier you see these days is likely a former 19 year old Marine from Vietnam, 1967.
The biggest thing will remain the price of gas and groceries…
I suspect, with the on-going influx of illegals, related problems become exacerbated with 1.) The rise in crime, especially high-profile crimes, 2.) Diminished job availability, 3.) Loss of housing, 4.) Extraordinary benefits given out that our poor & working class & military members don’t even get, 5.) Degraded neighborhoods, etc. These will be a major factor pushing a good many people toward Trump. While inflation will certainly be a factor, I think the fact that it has been around for a while, many people mentally normalize it as a part of life. However, the growing problems with ever increasing illegals is affecting whole new groups of people in ways never experienced before.
The Hidden Cost of the Border Crisis Nobody Tells You About
His medics sometimes confide: “Chief, I’m sick and tired of going out to the river and pulling bodies out,” Chief Mello told The Epoch Times, as he described how much the border crisis is affecting his department’s rescue workers.
They are grappling with record numbers of drowned men, women, and children who perish while crossing the river from Mexico into the United States.
The chief’s crews are risking their lives in nightmarish scenarios with unidentified people who are sick, hurt, or dead—not just along the river, but also on nearby roads, ranches, and railways.
They are responding to immigration-related emergencies so frequently that legal residents of their own community may be left waiting for medical care.
“There are days it seems that the ambulance wails never stop,” the chief told a congressional committee recently, noting that many of those ambulances are headed toward the Rio Grande and its surrounding area.
We know this will continue to get worse and the impact will reverberate across the US.
Donald Trump’s official Super PAC has launched a new website dubbed “Biden-Mart” that lets users compare Trump-era grocery prices to current costs under Joe Biden’s administration.
Biden-Mart.com, published by the Make America Great Again Inc. PAC, features an interactive grocery checklist that encourages users to “check off the items…to compile your weekly grocery list and see how much more expensive your bill has become under Joe Biden.”
My previous reply was send to it the reeducation camp but there are people working to educate people other people on the effects of Bindennomics.

If you need some correction in my information I will let you know how to reach me privately.
I agree that polls are pretty worthless right now. A lot of things can happen between now and the election that can change things considerably. One thing that happed today is Florida! Abortion rights and adult use marijuana are going to be on the ballot this November. Could be a game changer and could result in Florida going Blue. AS for Biden’s Easter proclamation this is what he actually said about Easter.
“Jill and I send our warmest wishes to Christians around the world celebrating Easter Sunday. Easter reminds us of the power of hope and the promise of Christ’s Resurrection.
As we gather with loved ones, we remember Jesus’ sacrifice. We pray for one another and cherish the blessing of the dawn of new possibilities. And with wars and conflict taking a toll on innocent lives around the world, we renew our commitment to work for peace, security, and dignity for all people.
From our family to yours, happy Easter and may God bless you.”
Casper, the GOP has an 850,000 voter registration advantage. When Trump won Florida in 2016, the Democrats had a 350,000 registration advantage.
So, my advice to Team Pudding brain is: POUR THE MONEY IN!!!
Go for it!!!
Pull out all the stops!
Abortion uber alles!
Mark, you are assuming that all the Republicans will vote for Trump. While that could happen I know there are a lot of DeSantis supporters are upset over how Trump and his supporters treated them. Same with Haley’s supporters. Not saying they will vote for Biden, but I guessing some might decide to sit the election out.
Abortion rights and adult use marijuana are big issues and will bring in a lot of voters who otherwise might sit the election out. Another factor is if Trump is convicted of one or more crimes. Americans aren’t as likely to vote for a felon. I hope Democrats do pull out all the stops. Biden doesn’t need to win Florida to win the election, Trump does.
Yes, yes, YES!!!!
Any senior Democrats you know, tell them how important this is! Being able to get high on the way to an abortion is far more important than the price of groceries!
DNC needs to pull money out of Pennsylvania and Michigan and put it all into Florida…that is the Battleground. That is what people care most about! Getting high and killing kids!
I am woman, hear me roar
You won’t stop this stoned whore…
I guessing (sic) some might decide to sit the election out.
Guess away. Anyone who thinks there is a “right” to kill unborn children has proved a mental deficiency that casts a lot of doubt on the ability to guess accurately about anything.
Yes, there are some people on the Right still enslaved by Identity Politics, but they are fewer than on the Left, and diminishing in number because for the most part conservatives are already aware of the ideology of conservatism and supportive of it, understanding that while at different times they might not like the person currently representing it the important thing is to protect and support the model of limited federal power and authority kept closer to the states and to the people.
On the other hand, when we ask a Democrat why he voted for his candidate we get pap such as “well, like, uh, you know. like I believe in gay marriage” and further questioning gets anger at the use of the word “Leftist” and even denying that there is any such thing as “the Left”.
When one side is totally dominated by emotion (fed by a Complicit Agenda Media) and the other is motivated by an objective commitment to a specific form of government no matter who the current representative of that political model might be, all this “guessing” will come down to which side has the hysteria advantage.
The lack of self awareness of the Left never ceases to amaze. Casper is apparently quite proud of the fact that a Dem victory in Florida, if one were to occur, would be based on a combination of pathological selfishness (I just don’t feel like having this baby, carrying it to term would just be so inconvenient) and a desire to get stoned.
He’s just defined a large segment of the Democrat base and seems blissfully unaware of the fact that he has also condemned it as being morally and intellectually deficient. And that is without even getting into the basic political illiteracy that makes Dem support possible.
Never before in history has a smaller subset of society been amplified so loudly. It doesn’t make sense and it doesn’t do anything to unite the country. On the contrary, it does a lot to divide the country. Transgenderism is a mental illness, but for political reasons, Democrats have encouraged, funded, and exacerbated the cause, ruining many lives in the process, including children which is unforgivable.
Currently, the Democrat party is largely comprised of domestic terrorists; the trans activists, climate activists, judicial activists, abortion activists, BLM activists, etc. and this is the direct result of identity politics – they simply serve themselves and their selfish pursuits, and they are tearing apart the country. And that was just validated by our resident moron Casper. Rather than being a well rounded American adult and voting on the well being of the country and leaving a better future for their children, Casper is hoping people will vote for the hedonistic pursuits of getting high and killing children. That’s who Democrats are
IOW Casper assumes that Republicans are as feckless and foolish as his fellow travelers and base the most important duty of their citizenship on feelz.
There is no such thing as an abortion “right”. There is the ability to have an abortion, but in no way is it ever a “right”. This is typical of the semantic infiltration of Left-wing propaganda, and it is slurped by the likes of Casper and then regurgitated as if it is a legitimate application of the word.
“I guessing (sic) some might decide to sit the election out.
Guess away. Anyone who thinks there is a “right” to kill unborn children has proved a mental deficiency that casts a lot of doubt on the ability to guess accurately about anything.”
I was referring to DeSantis and Haley supporters. You might want to pay a little more attention next time. As I’ve mentioned before the point in which a fetus is considered a baby is a religious belief, one not followed by the majority of Americans. Forcing a woman to carry a baby to term regardless of how she became pregnant or the circumstances the woman can result in a lot of unwanted children. If Republicans are worried about embryos surviving perhaps they should volunteer to have them transferred to Republican women to bring to term. We have the technology to do so.
Meanwhile a number of states have Abortion amendments coming up which doesn’t look good for Republican chances.
Just this last Easter, PETA was demanding that the WH egg hunt use potatoes instead of eggs, so as not to harm the embryos. Also, CA restricts the construction of water basins as to not disturb the nesting grounds of smelt. Why do they do that? And why won’t they protect human embryo’s and nesting grounds? Is it a religious belief? Just curious how your brain works.
And let’s address your “unwanted children” claim which you seem to be very concerned about. So tell me how you feel about all the “unwanted children” at the southern border which are all the result of the government policies you favor. Please expand on that for us.
Don’t care about PETA and potatoes. I also know the difference between chickens and eggs.
So you’ve absolved yourself of any concern and responsibility. How typical Democrat of you. I want to make sure you know that the way you vote, is directly responsible for millions of lives lost, and thousands of children being trafficked and raped, that’s all on you so please spare us the fucking “unwanted children” concern. GFY
Yes, we do realize that there is a constituency in the USA so committed to killing kids that they’ll vote Democrat no matter what.
But the issue just isn’t as salient as it was right after Dobbs. After all, in most of the places where being pro-abortion is a major vote-motivator, absolutely nothing changed. California and New York are still aborting their children with wild abandon. Something I guess you’re proud of.
And here’s the final word on it: if, indeed, Biden is returned to the White House based on a promise to force Alabama to use California’s abortion laws…then that is what it is. It means we on the right have been doomed all along.
But we’re not going to become in favor of killing kids just to get a vote.
We’re decent human beings. We know that one day we’ll stand before the throne of God accounting for our actions…none of us want to say, “sure, God, I didn’t like abortion but there were swing State electoral votes to think about”.
If Republicans really cared about the border they would have at the least brought the border bill up for debate. Anything happing there now is on them.
Wrong again fuck face. That bill drawn up by the uni party legalized illegal immigration. Did nothing to stop the flow or secure the border which we will do once the adults are back in charge. So again GFY
Mark, No one is forcing anyone to have an abortion. The women I know who chose to do so did so after a lot of thought and prayer. It wasn’t an easy choice. I also have a friend who chose not to have an abortion after she was raped. Good for her. Her choice. If Trump takes office there will be a nation wide abortion ban. Twelve year old rape victims will be forced to give birth. There have already been cases of women forced to carry a fetus to term that had no chance of survival. The majority of Americans are for women having a choice and it will cost the GOP this year.
Are you raping 12 year olds now? Is that what the “cool kids” do?
Actually the cool kids try to prevent rape and don’t force the victims to have their rapist’s babies.
Prevent rape huh? Do you even listen to yourself? The cool kids have only increased rape and misery
No, they kill babies for the sins of the fathers, while enabling the rapists by destroying the evidence of their crimes.
And then preen in their pretend morality
Cluster do you listen to yourself? You are accusing Casper of rape yet he has been nothing but respectful in his disagreement with you about abortion. Which is going to be a big deal in the very close ’24 race. You need to touch grass and get offline chief.
He thinks that if a child’s father is a rapist that kid should be executed.
That’s not what I would call being a nice guy.
I no longer have any respect or civility towards leftist democrats, after the way you have all acted and voted the last several years … that day is over. And yes, Casper and you are directly responsible for all the rapes and murders at the southern border, and you will be held accountable.
My first wife and I had Two children and two miscarriages. My daughter and son have turned out to be wonderful human beings and some of my best memories are holding them for the first time and watching them grow up. I would literally take a bullet for either of them or my grandkids. The fetuses that didn’t survive weren’t kids. They couldn’t survive inside the womb much less outside it.
We also raise chickens. There is a huge difference between a chicken and an egg. These aren’t just my beliefs, they are shared by millions of Americans.
You go on and keep telling yourself that – that there is some magical moment when the unborn child becomes human.
What species was it before that moment?
Yeah; you won’t answer that directly. No pro-abort ever does. Because everyone in favor of elective abortion is deeply guilty about it. They know it is cruelty; they know their views are mere cowardice.
You don’t sound like you have much of a grasp on basic biology. Your unborn children had the process of their lives ended by biology, just as the process of your first wife’s was. The interruption of a life cycle in no way defines the nature of that life.
Well, hooray for you, knowing the difference between a chicken and an egg. And yes, this is a level of comprehension shared by millions of Americans. But let those eggs be fertilized and then crack them open at different levels of development and you will find, in those eggs, baby chickens whose life process was ended when you killed them. They were always chickens, just chickens at different levels of development.
Personally I believe that a baby is a person when it can survive outside the uterus by itself. Until it is born it has the potential to be a person, just as every sperm and egg has the potential to be be a person. Point is no one is being forced to have an abortion. If you truly feel that an embryo is a person then you should be trying to find women who will volunteer to carry it to term rather than force a 12 year old to do so.
Ah, yes; the very scientific “it becomes human as it exits the birth canal” theory.
You’re ok with killing kids.
At least have an ounce of courage and own it. Don’t be mealy-mouthed: your standing in the Left world is more important than a human life.
And the “teacher” now thinks an embryo can be shifted from one uterus to another. The parents in Casper breathed sighs of relief when this moron was no longer in their school system
Casper says .. “it has the potential to be a human”. So I’m curious Casper, what other possibilities are there?
The daughter of good friends of mine at church went into labor at 23 weeks. The baby (well, I’m pretty sure it’s a baby – she looks an awful lot like a baby) weighed 1-1/2 lbs. but was breathing on her own. Now there was a lot of prayer involved, something that most Leftists don’t want to acknowledge. That was over two months ago, and the little girl (yeah “girl” – get over it) goes home from the hospital around the end of this month.
Any individual, group, or political party that treats the unborn so callously, should never be in charge of anything.
Spook, Congratulations to your friend’s daughter. We ae lucky to live at a time that we have the medical know how to get the baby through the next few weeks. Today I am looking at pictures of a friend’s twins, happy for and her husband. Kids are wonderful. .
YOU believe that the identity of an unborn child depends on a religious belief, not on science. And you keep referring to how many people agree with you. Well, science is unanimous that the product of conception is human, from that moment on, so the question is when some person assumes the ability, and the right, to put a marker on the line of development of that wholly human life and declare that only on one side of that marker will they agree that it is a “baby”. Boy, talk about arrogance. It always reminds me of the temptation of the serpent—to have the knowledge of God.
And note that that marker moves a lot. It was heartbeat—-till heartbeats were detected earlier. It was feeling pain, but when even early fetuses respond to pain it wasn’t that any more. For a while it was cognizance, but then when fetuses were shown to try to avoid pain, or respond to different foods eaten by the mother that fell apart. Some still fall back on “taking a breath” but when that is your criterion and you can also prevent that from happening that is the most despicable hypocrisy.
