Sasha Stone is - without a doubt - the best opinion writer today. No one else even comes close. A giant talent.

I only wish every person in America would read this.

Notes from the Under Dog L.'s avatar

This kind of gushing is cringey. Comment on the substance. What is it about getting all gooshy about female writers without commenting on the content of their writing?

What makes it the best?

She tell you what you want to hear without critical thinking.

Dude, critical thinking was drilled into me by the Jesuits.

Notes from the Under Dog L.'s avatar

Critical thinking drilled into you by the Jesuits:

You guys are so great! I love you! Everything you do is so great! Wow, I am so lucky to be near you!

Alec Welsh's avatar

No it wasn't. You believe this bullshit Sasha Stone said because you want it to be true but you've never considered whether it is true.

Why is accountability amongst the Republican party bad ?

Why is it okay that Republicans murder Americans in the street with a secret police force?

There's a reason why these questions weren't posed to you and it's because Sasha Stone it has no beliefs she sells lies to conservatives because you will buy them

Dems may take the House but this is by no means a sure thing. They will not take the Senate. Bank it. The polls are garbage and Ploymarket (intended spelling) has been skewed with millions dumped in by the Soros machine. Put the black pills away, y'all.

Even if they do take the House & Senate......it will be temporary.

Trump will be a lame duck and nothing at all will come from Washington, except two years for Democrats to further expose themselves as losers, and Republicans to circle the wagons and get their sh*t together. The problem is it will be a loooong two years.

So.....disengage, touch a lot of grass, live better......the best revenge

Alec Welsh's avatar

Lol the propaganda is amazing.

Trump has utterly failed as a president and if Democrats are not cowards Trump will likely be impacted and removed from office.

It's possible this gets so bad Republicans will pretend they never supported maga like how Germans pretended there were no Nazis after the war

I could not get past the first sentences. Both sides? Really? Please list the attacks, canceling, assassinations etc done by MAGA Republicans towards any Leftist or DSA group?

I remember the Republicans being shot while practicing for a softball game, I remember the people being harassed at restaurants because they were in the Trump administration. I recall the ICE agents being spat on and called names, I remember the cheering by the Left after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

All these things were done by Leftist.

Please list the similar things the “Right” has done. Please don’t mention the Proud Boys or nonsense like that, which are CIA created operatives.

You keep mentioning the Democrats winning the mid terms. What are they running on? What are they offering the country? Jailing Trump? Putting Socialism into effect in all 50 States? Reopening the border to allow millions back into the country?

Why would Americans be voting in the Democrats to do? I have not heard anyone tell me why this would happen.

Dena's avatar

Spot on. It is not the same on both sides. MTG, Carlson, Kinziger & other affiliates have never been MAGA. They just rode Trump’s coattails as long as it suited them. What else are they running on? Packing the Supreme Court, destroying anyone in Trump’s orbit, getting rid of the electoral college, Medicare for all, WA DC & Puerto Rico as states…the left celebrates what happened in Brazil. There’s more & none of it any good.

The Republicans may lose on Tuesday. Or it may turn out to be a blue mirage (much like the red mirage of 2022)

In either case, I am reminded of the story of "The Chinese Farmer" which asks the question:

"How do you know what is good luck?

How do you know what is bad luck?"

If given the choice between losing on Tuesday but winning in 2 years (when it really matters) or winning on Tuesday and having to own the next two years, and losing bigley in 2028...I'll take losing this Tuesday for $1000, Alex!

If the Dems win this Tuesday, they will get nothing done for the next two years because.. Trump.

When 2028 rolls around, just like a booster shot, we will all have a reminder of why we threw the bums out last time in 2024.

Like any chess player will tell you, sometimes you need to sacrifice your queen, and lose the battle, to win the war.

The fat lady isn't even warming up over this one! ♟️ 🤔🇺🇸

Frank Magill's avatar

If that were the choice I would agree. I don't believe it is, but that doesn't mean I'm not praying about it multiple times a day.

The Ways of A Gentleman

@Gentleman_Ways

Our world doesn't need more angry people.

It needs more good fathers.

More faithful husbands.

More honorable wives.

More grateful children.

More men and women of character.

Let’s all strive to be one of them.

Have a blessed Sunday.

I Appreciate Your Article, Sasha. What Is Gonna Happen On Tuesday; Is GONNA HAPPEN. At 73 I Will Continue To Live My Life To The Best Of My Abilities. One Day At A Time.

The Adam Kinzingers Of The World Are On The Wrong Side Of History. Toxic Lemmings.

For Those Of Us Who Share In The Great Experiment, Which Is AMERICA:

Stay Happy. Stay Healthy. Stay FEARLESS.

Susan Vonder Heide's avatar

Pray hard between now and Tuesday. Scripture says, "Cast your burdens on the Lord, for He cares for you." If anybody doesn't normally pray, this is a great time to start.

“In that way, it is the South during the last Civil War. “

Democrats are the party of The Old South. It was they who held the blacks in slavery then instituted Jim Crow laws & poll taxes to keep them from voting once the slaves were taken away from them. Then they instituted gun control to keep the now freedmen from defending themselves from the Klu Klux Klan, another Democrat organization.

And remember when the canard boilerplate was that George W Bush was going to “cancel the midterms”? He was “BushHitler!”remember? Every GOP nominee/president since Thomas E. Dewey in 1948 has been “Hitler!” “A Nazi!” “A Fascist!”

And 2028 will be a rerun of the same nonsense. These sobriquets don’t work anymore if they ever did.

In all fairness, my question is: why did the Right give their power away?

In two years, the Right, who had all of America behind us, in two years, literally squandered that opportunity. Literally did everything to piss off the entire country, only to go left — only in two years?

It almost seems intentional, but I’d love to see what others have to hear.

Most are in politics for personal enrichment. They're not going to do anything to jeopardize that. At what other job can you become a millionaire in just a few short years? So most choose personal enrichment over the country. If that means avoiding hard decisions because it might step on someone's toes and jeopardize that sinecure, then the hard decisions will be avoided.

Money is the root of all evil. Maybe if insider trading, lobbyists and “special interest groups” were banned from contacting our representatives, we could have senators and reps with morally clear consciences. Too many temptations in DC, like the snake descending on Edan.

Richard's avatar

I should point out that Kinzinger is or was a Republican. But of the very worst sort-a collaborator. It is people like him that have led to decades of defeat for normal people. They want their country club party back and willing to hand the whole country over to leftists to get it. It will be the end for the Republicans if they succeed. Unfortunately, it will be the end for us too.

quarkdetector's avatar

...Kinzinger was on the original Steele Dossier distribution list ...

"Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence agent who compiled the unsubstantiated research booklet in 2016 about Donald Trump’s connections to Russia before he became president, gave the report to Kinzinger and Jonathan Burks, Ryan’s longtime chief of staff, after he completed it on Dec. 13, 2016, according to the court memo." Roll Call, 12/20/2018 ...

Richard's avatar

That Jonathan Burks toad makes my point about the RINOs wanting their country club back. He worked not just for Paul Ryan but McConnell, Bush, Dick Cheney, and the Chamber of Commerce.

Trapped in IL's avatar

Kinzinger is a turncoat tea party Republican. They put up a good show, but when push came to shove, most of them went for the money. So very disappointed in all of them, especially Kinzinger, Ryan and MTG. If the Tea Party republicans had stuck to their purported beliefs, would we be where we are right now?

Like the children on the beach and crawling away from the fire they created in "Lord of the Flies," their world collapses on contact with societal norms, at the feet of the sailors who have come to save them. They cry like babies, not a single defense of their actions comes to their hate-filled minds and in that can come the only solace available from this sordid moment. The slightest perturbance from the bounce back to Ms. Casahuga's world view causes her to seek total disassociation with herself. She is empty. We knew that, but now she does, too. Slowly, she will come to believe the things she said in her apology because, on examination, they are true. But this I will leave to her; the discovery of why she had come to believe the things she had.

Trapped in IL's avatar

Was thinking she may had had a chat with a priest, but perhaps that is too much to hope for?

Raymond Hodnett's avatar

I think you are right. Hopefully, this was initiated by her parents. I wish her well.

“Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth” Psalm 124

Trust in the name of YHWH Almighty. All this striving for power will pass away when the King of Heaven and Earth, YHWH the Son, King Jesus, returns to redeem His people, both the dead and the living.

The Left has power in Illinois and it’s pretty miserable here. The mainstream R’s did nothing to support candidates up and down the ticket even though people are hopping mad and saying vote red.

Trapped in IL's avatar

I know it’s pretty sad…not one Republican sign to be seen amongst the sea of Communists. We just keep voting RED, and shaking our heads. The Democrats have done a great job destroying our tax base, forcing the wealthy to flee our once great state. Guess our taxes will be on the rise again. Gotta support those illegals. Thanks JB for destroying our way of life.

Sasha, trouble only brings out the best and the worst in us. Trouble will push us more and more to Jesus. It is a funny thing...

It was a tree that led to the death of Adam and Eve, so God used a tree (the cross) for the death of Jesus, who brings us life. God used death to overcome death. Jesus died and rose again that I might live. Eve ate the fruit first, so God used the fruit of a woman (Eve eventually led to Mary) to bring life back to mankind. Eating the fruit brought death, but the Fruit of the woman brought life. Sin entered into the world through Adam, who was the first "strongman" of the garden and family. So God entered into a human body and died as a man on a cross so that we could live. Jesus displaced the new strong man (Satan) and, through death and the resurrection, gained victory for us over sin, death, and the grave. The first Adam refused to obey in the garden. But the 2nd Adam obeyed in the Garden of Gethsemane, to the point of death on the cross, so that I might have life. Everything that man and the devil used to enslave us and kill us, God turned right around and used to save us and give us life. No matter what happens in this election, God will use it to make true believers more like Jesus.

There is a God, and His name is Jesus. May you continue to search until you find Him. He suffered God's wrath upon sin so that we don't have to suffer the same wrath. He came that we might have life and be with Him and live out our purpose.

Thanks Mark for your beautiful summation of what our faith means to us.

Chriss Hammerschmidt's avatar

Thank your for standing against violence. The only utopia we build is if we control our passions. We are supposed to be a self-governing, self-restraining society. Only we can moderate our actions. If we don't want to be controlled by others, we must control our selves.

Kathy Christian's avatar

The democrat party campaigns on "fixing" the problems it created by its own policies. And the lemmings believe them.

Risk Details's avatar

The one thing that really scares me is the demcrats giving government control of SI. I laughed when Bill Gates said artificial intelligence could kill a billion people. In the last century communists killed hundreds of millions in the pre-chip technology world. If the government gets control of SI, Bill Gates may be right.
