You are totally correct, Steve.

RFK Jr. is one of the most honorable, decent and upstanding people we’ve had running for public office in my lifetime. His integrity is also off the charts. He ran a clean campaign based on existential issues facing this country He wasted no energy on slurs or insults. While I disagree with him strongly on some issues, I would be honored and pleased to have him as my president.

His campaign was one of the few campaigns I’ve donated money to in a long time. If someone had told me even a year ago that I’d be sending money to a Kennedy, I would’ve suggested that they need to get drug tested.. RFK Jr. completely changed that attitude in me.

For the record, I am a Trump supporter.

Steve, excellent post— and Stan, I agree that, as you say, "RFK Jr. is one of the most honorable, decent and upstanding people we’ve had running for public office in my lifetime.

If you vote RFK that is taking a vote away from Trump. RFK is there to TAKE VOTES AWAY FROM HARRIS. He wants you to vote for Trump which is why he has taken himself off the ballot in 10 states. If you respect RFK please do as he says and vote Trump.

RFK wants you to vote for him in the 40 non-battleground states.

No he doesnt. He said to vote TRUMP. He is there to take votes away from Harris. RFK has ENDORSED Trump - that means he wants people to vote for TRUMP. I can't understand why you don't see that.

Precisely! It dilutes the votes among 3. If RFK joins Trump, vote Trump. We’ve seen it time and again, here in Europe. Most recently the UK where Starmer got in thanks to vote dilution towards the reform party of Farage. I hope Steve sees this as well!

Another example of Democrat vote tampering:

Everyone needs to vote Trump. Platitudes for RFK Jr can be done later. Symbolic votes for RFK Jr are extremely risky. Generals are not honored until after the war has been won!

Steve's plan to vote for RFK Jr is as ill-advised as his plan to short Big Pharma which he paid a hefty price for by his own admission.

Agreed it is rigged. The voting machines have a back door to them as Dr. Douglas Frank describes. What is going to happen is they will force the vote to go to congress and get 'Mr. Big Ears' the guy already running things behind the scenes back into office - This in spite of having already served his maximum two terms.

Voting for RFK Jr outside battleground states is not risky.

Expand full comment

It's not worth the risk. What is to point of him remaining on the ballot? He's been off target from the outset. The Democrats rejected him. Now he comes running to Trump. RFK Jr. supporters aren't clear thinkers. He only ran as an Independent when that was his only option. Now his last gasp is to claim to be working with Trump. A snake is a snake. If the undemocratic Dems continue in power, the country is completely done.

IPA. As a Canadian watching this unfold from across the border I wanted to respond to your comments.

To my knowledge Kennedy did want to run as a Democrat but that party rejected him.

While he attempted to run as an Independent that party did everything it could to disenfranchise him.

I believe that Kennedy ran for president to try to affect change, particularly with regards to children's health. If Kennedy can somehow gain influence within the Republican party and get an opportunity to create changes that would improve the health of children, I'm all for it. And if he could clean house in the alphabet health bodies it would be amazing.

So I don't think he's a snake at all. He's a realist and if he has passionate beliefs and can't find a vehicle for them within the Democratic party why not try the other party?

It's a gamble to be sure but at this point it's a pretty shrewd chess move.

not being a member of the club I can only hope that both of them want to do the right thing. Perhaps they might do some of the things they promise. Being skeptical of politicians and government is the only right course of action. Blind belief and worship of a politician or some hero figure is unbecoming of a free man. The US government isn't a government of , for and by the people. It is an oligarchy run by special interest groups, the MIC, AIPAC, big Pharma and big corporations like blackrock.

True Stan, but please read my response to Steve. We can't take the chance of loosing a single vote for Trump. It's very possible the decision could go to the House, and they could well look at the popular vote.

And the popular vote will be for the anti-Harris candidates so the House should choose the anti-Harris candidate with the most votes.

I agree with you Fred. There is so much illegal voting that we need to make sure

Trump has a large margin of votes even in Red States. It is far too risky in something like Texas with so many electoral votes at stake for it to go for Harris. I like RFK also and am so happy for the alliance with Trump. It is what I have wished for but the vote for RFK will be symbolic and the vote for Trump could be crucial for the overall win which we must have to save the country. Trump might even win some classic blue states like Virginia and that would really send a message.

Hey Steve, Judy J is spot on here.

* We don't yet know how compromised the voting machines have become.

* We don't know what dirty tricks the Democrats have planned.

The real question is. for whom will you vote on the down ballot - blue or red?

Expand full comment

I watched Bobby’s speech and read the text version too. He said he is “suspending” his campaign, not ending it. That means he will and is taking his name off the ballot in those battleground states that polls project it will hurt Trump most. This most likely ensures Trump will carry those states. However, RFK Jr. Will STAY on the ballot in 40 states. This means the race remains a 3-way race. I even heard Trump say later to a reporter “I still have to beat 2 candidates”. It also gives Bobby leverage. In politics, you never give something up with just a promise! That would be foolish! Instead, he wants to get at least 5% of the popular vote nationally to also cement a viable independent party (which triggers public funding) for the future. That is also very important for saving the republic. California alone might get Kennedy that percentage. And won’t the battleground states alone vote for Trump? He won the presidency last time without CA and NY. I would love to see a partnership with Kennedy and Trump, but I am supporting Kennedy who WANTS Trump to WIN too.

Good summary. I encourage all to listen to the impressive speech!

The voting process is a serious issue. Az, Nev., Pa., Minn., Wisc. are definitely in play this election. Also need support in Ga., NC and VA. We need to work for the same team -- not divide the vote in important swing states!! Let's encourage a strong allied vote with Trump to prevent the outrageous Kamala team from approaching any sort of victory!!!

Stay strong and work towards these goals during this election!

Yes! RFK junior has, as usual, made sure his pride does not get in the way of doing what is best for humanity. I am not American, otherwise I would be voting as RFK has suggested and Steve is going to do. It's a no-brainer. I would suggest listening carefully to what is being said here and then vote according to what is the obvious way in your state to keep Harris out. 8 years of her will be catastrophic , even for those of us living on other continents.

Steve, I have been with you for the vast bulk of what you have been doing here for the last few years. But I think that RFK made a major miscalculation by endorsing Trump.

Trump says things that serves his narcissistic sociopathic motives in the moment. It is like making an agreement with a heroin addict. He will say whatever he needs to say to "get his ego fix". He says that he will give RFK a cabinet post (until he gets His endorsement). However, once he wins the presidency, he is no longer constrained to say what RFK wants to hear, or do what RFK wants him to do, any more than he was constrained to finish paying contract construction workers that finished work for him in good faith, or constrained to give his students at Trump University anything of value, once he has their money.

Trump is the one who is chiefly responsible for the creation of the vaccine that destroyed lives and its approval to be distributed to the American Public. He endorsed the vaccine on numerous occasions. I just don't see how that is in alignment with RFK's values.

Trump was easily manipulated by his medical advisors, just as easily as the democratic administration that followed him. Once they get a hold of him, and offer him great sums of money ( or its financial equivalent in the form of influence) RFK's wishes will fall to the wayside. That is Trump's history. He is a con man by trade, easily corruptible and corrupting, and RFK is his latest "mark". No fault on RFK, Trump has conned people his whole life and he is very good at it.

Supporting Trump is supporting the man that glamorizes abusing women in the worst kind of way and has engaged in that behavior; a man who refers to our nation’s military dead and wounded as "suckers and losers", a man who wants to terminate the department of Education, a man who is in charge of the greatest nuclear arsenal on earth, yet doesn't have the attention span to sit through an intelligence briefing, a man who would sell our nations secrets and security for mere personal advantage, a man who idolizes autocrats, and a man who was willing to see his Vice President murdered by an angry mob, rather than gracefully concede that he lost the election.

Trump recently said" “We will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical-left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country. " that sounds an awful lot like the Adolf Hitler quote- "Should I not also have the right to eliminate millions of an inferior race that multiplies like vermin?’”

Sure. Vote for Trump. What could possibly go wrong?!?

Sorry, that is a bridge too far for me. And now that a vote for RFK is the same as an endorsement for Trump, I can do neither. RFK wanted a quick fix so he took a shortcut. Bad idea. He has made a devil's bargain. And I know that I am not the only one of his supporters that feels this way.

Considering the whirlwind of political events swirling around VP Harris in the last 30 days is it any wonder that she would not meet with RFK. To compare Trump's willness to meet with RFK who has been running this campaign almost since he lost the last one, and VP Harris, who just got swept up in this thing barely a month ago, is not thinking logically. I have more faith that VP Harris can grow into seeing more of the truth of our situation, than I do that Trump will keep his word. RFK doesnt feel that way. And that is where we part ways. Not that I don't agree with much of RFK's speech. But it is not enough to counter the dreadful picture of what will happen if Trump assumes the presidency once more. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Wow totally disagree with everything you’ve said and trump didn’t invent the mRNA jabs, they were created years before lol

Expand full comment
Aug 28·edited Aug 28

We can agree to disagree and stay cool. So I appreciate the tone of your response. I would ask you, respectfully, if the mRNA jabs were created years before, what did Trump authorize billions to spend on in drug development? That is what I am referring to. That was referred to as "Operation Warp Speed". That was Trumps baby. Secondarily, no matter how many years ago some version of an mRNA vaccine was developed, and no matter how old the Corona Virus self has existed, the Novel Corona Virus strain, aka Covid 19, was utterly new, only a handful of months old. That is precisely why that version of it was referred to as "Novel". Therefore, the combination- interaction between mRNA vaccines with the Novel Corona Virus was also necessarily new. Therefore that combination, which did not receive more then 6 months of study, was released to the public without any regards for long term safety studies. Trump allowed that to happen. Now the "chickens are coming home to roost" with all kinds of negative reports coming for all over the world as to the long term ( and even the short term) negative consequences of that. From places as diverse as South Korea, and Japan, the the Scandinavian Counties, and the UK, and the United States, and elsewhere. What this says to me is Trump does not have the intellectual capacity to handle such matters. And that is being quite generous, given his well documented back ground of corrupt behavior to the little guy which I mentioned in the previous post. But its not in my hands. Let the voters decide what they want. God Bless

You obviously hate the man so it doesn’t matter what I say about him or the jabs and what you refer to as “Novel” and how and why they were developed. You are not part of the “inner circle” so how would you know. Anyone with a normal brain not under mind control knows Harris is bad and so are the mRNA jabs no matter who is promoting them. You would rather see this country destroyed than vote for the man who will prevent that from happening. Really, was your life better or worse

Sorry to see you lost your "respectful but disagree-with-you" tone.

How little you understand what I am saying. I don't hate Trump at all. I don't know the guy so how can I possibly hate him? I am sure that he is very charismatic up close. I am merely responding to historical events which show me that Trump is an aspiring autocrat, and therefore anathema with regards to the nation's Constitution. You don't have to hate a guy to feel that he is terrible for the job. That is just what I feel.

I did not invent with the name "novel coronavirus"-- the scientists who created it did. It was first created in late 2019, just a few months before the Pandemic began. It is also referred to a "novel coronavirus 2019". It is another common name of Covid 19. It was all over the news for months. Don't take my word on it--look it up on Google for Gods sake--its common knowledge like the color of grass.

My point in the last email is the new-ness of its origin means that any testing on it, could not have been accomplished with Mrna vaccines in the decade past. It could only have been tested with that combination of novel coronavirus plus vaccine for a mere handful of months before being issued. No long term safety studies. Bad idea to allow that to be released to the public. Trump did that.

We both agree that mRNA jabs are bad, so what is the problem there?? My only point was that Trump promoted it as much as Biden or Harris, so no improvement in that situation either way.

My life was much worse under Trump as he promoted white supremacy and as a consequence murders and violence as a whole shot way up under his administration. Membership in White Supremacy organizations also shot up. It was a darker time.

His attempt to overthrow the peaceful transition of power on January 6th for the first time in history shows that he is uniquely unsuited to assume the reigns of power again.

I agree with you that mRNA shots was a very bad idea. We are sympatico there. I just don't agree that Trump is the best way to further that cause.

He is wholly unsuited to assume the office of the presidency, to put it mildly.

Sorry if you don't like hearing that. If you want to respond to this I'll let you have the last word. I wont reply any further. Like I said, before, let the voters decide. Peace. Go with God. You always know what it would be to look and feel and be completely happy. Be that. Do that. Blessing on you.

Trump got rolled in first term by pharma, military industrial complex, and all the bureaucrats whose pockets are lined by corrupt private industry that is only in it for $$$$.

It seems to me that IF there is an election, the winner will take orders from the real powers that be. Remember when Scott Atlas was Trump's advisor? Then suddenly he was gone and we had warp speed.

Both parties are corrupt. Stop the idolatry. If RFKJ wanted to help, he would use his spotlight to expose the mechanisms of the corrupt stranglehold (he barely touched upon it.) and empower the people with knowledge at every opportunity, advocate organized pressure on our representatives at every town hall meeting, boycotts, strikes, tell how the Princeton study shows that our current leadership never does what the people want.

RFK Jr. does the Trump campaign a favor and we hear the opposite pleas that we heard from Democrat supporters in 2016 and 2020. Vote for Trump or its the end of America. Vote for the lesser evil. Have no lessons been learned?

This is what every US election has degenerated into. Vote for candidate X or disaster will happen. I'm tired of this gaslighting. A flock of sheep voting en masse out of fear will never change a thing and the two major parties know it.

The situation is no better in Canada. There are plenty of anti-Trudeau voters who will flock to Poilievre even though he didn't say a peep during the scamdemic. The one political leader who did speak up for medical freedom remains in single digits in the polls. This is the reality of what we're facing. The vast majority of voters have learned nothing.

So vote your conscience. You can then say you made a choice based on the issues you're concerned about, instead of voting against the other flock. Be an individual for a change.
