Question - President Trump, you – you talked about how the increase in the price of food, gas and rent is hurting families, but the real cost that’s breaking families’ backs and preventing women from participating in the workforce is child care. Child care is now more expensive than rent for working families and is costing the economy more than $122 billion a year, making it one of the most urgent economic issues that is facing our country. In fact, the cost of child care is outpacing the cost of inflation, with the majority of American families of young children spending more than 20% of their income on child care. One thing that Democrats and Republicans have in common is that both parties talk a lot about what they’re going to do to address the child care crisis, but neither party has delivered meaningful change. If you win in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable? And if so, what specific piece of legislation will you advance?

Answer - “Well I would do that, and we’re sitting down, and you know I was somebody — we had Senator Marco Rubio and my daughter Ivanka was so impactful on that issue. It’s a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about — that because — the — child care is child care, couldn’t, you know, it’s something, you have to have it, in this country you have to have it. But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to but they’ll get used to it very quickly — and it’s not going to stop them from doing business with us, but they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country. Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we’re talking about including child care that it’s going to take care — we’re gonna have, I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time. Coupled with the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country because I have to stay with child care, I want to stay with child care — but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I’m talking about, including growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just, that I just told you about. We’re going to be taking in trillions of dollars and as much as child care is talked about as being expensive, it’s relatively speaking not very expensive compared to the kinds of numbers we’ll be taking in. We’re going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people. And then we’ll worry about the rest of the world. Let’s help other people. But we are going to take care of our country first. This is about America first. It’s about make America great again. We have to do it because right now we are a failing nation. So we’ll take care of it.”

Word salad… when your plan is to keep repeating “I have a plan,” then praise the plan… then push your merch.

I think Trump was caught off guard and fumbled for an answer. It is what it is…no excuses.

Big Girl, isn’t it because he is old? I’ll take Trump’s worst day over Biden’s or Harris’ best day anytime.

None of you on the left have the cajones to admit that about your candidates. Never will!!!

It’s a sign of not knowing what the heck he’s talking about.  He say he’s going to pay for it by levying a 10% tax on the middle class.  Just because he calls it a “tariff” he thinks it’s not a tax. FOREIGN COUNTRIES DO NOT PAY FOR TARIFFS. WE DO. Economics 101. Trump’s a loser, and he’s fixing to lose big time come November.

Nope, Trump said that word and Noone knew what he was talking about.

Noone. You know, I will give the occasional misspelling a pass, even typos, but you have spelled “no one” this way several times. You really have no room to throw stones here.

      Blog..high school football = last bastion of true America

      By Rglodich · Posted

      Maybe the last bastion of true America! Sep 26  Written By  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up   The physical contrasts could not be more striking. The smell and sounds in the air intensified anxiety at one end and created soothing harmonic biorhythms at the other end. In the world of modern travel, it is amazing how one can be in such different parts of America in just one week’s time. Last weekend my wife and I visited the bustling city of New York to celebrate her birthday. I enjoyed the weekend as we experienced some of New York’s classic tourist attractions. This weekend my wife and I had the pleasure of witnessing a high school football game in the small town of Sandusky, Michigan. We joyfully watched Coach Bob’s Staskiewicz (my mentor) grandson Kyle Guibord as he quarterbacked the Sandusky Redskins match up with the Cass City RedHawks. Kristen Guibord (Bob’s daughter) is one of the best athletes I ever coached at Marine City. Her competitive fire is something I have rarely seen in a high school athlete. This summer, at Bob’s request, I worked with Kyle to improve his QB skills, and once I worked with Kyle, I was a fan. A mature athlete with old school manners, “yes sir, no sir, thank you, Coach.”  An athlete that still holds on to a fading characteristic, eye contact. I promised Kyle at the end of our session I would come to one of his home games, and he did not disappoint. He was a true warrior on this beautiful fall night. At every step of the night, I chuckled inside, comparing the environment and atmosphere’s polarity. Upon entering the stadium, Kathy and I hit the concession stand as our choice for dinner. The average breakfast bill for us in New York was 40 plus dollars, and the dinner bills easily topped the 100-dollar mark. The Sandusky concession stand gave us 3 hot dogs, 1 popcorn, 1 Gatorade, and one Diet Coke for less than 10 bucks. Our hotel in lower Manhattan was 55 stories and surrounded by buildings equally tall or taller, with the One World building topping at 100 stories in height. The stadium at Sandusky was surrounded by corn fields, and the only building within eye site taller than one story was the press box. The range of nationalities in New York was a testament to the “melting pot” title bestowed on the city. The lack of diversity in the Sandusky crowd was obvious to the eyes. I have rarely sat in the stands of a high school football game in the last 35 years of my life and career, but on this night, I wanted to experience this high school football in its purest form. Kathy and I sat several rows up on the 40-yard line as Coach Bob took his traditional spot on the fence line near the 20-yard line. As I sat and became an observer, things jumped out and warmed my heart. No matter where you watch a high school football game in America, another game always goes on simultaneously. In the northeast corner of the stadium, I could spot this game going on with no athlete taller than 5 feet and no athlete older than age 10. It looks like complete chaos, but the joy on these young faces shows the benefits of competition. As the band blasted out the National Anthem and the crowd stood in honor, a realization hit me like never before. Right before my eyes, there it was, this beautiful scene with this powerful song reverberating in my lungs, I was witnessing the absolute best version of America. As I eased dropped on conversations near and around me, there was no discussion of partisan politics, no ugly judgments were thrown, and no divisive ads being blasted on the PA system. The home crowd at Sandusky was all on the same page to support the hard-working members of the band, the cheerleaders, and of course, the team. The age range in the stands represented our population with moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, and younger brothers and sisters. As the game progressed, my mind emptied all the worries and concerns brewing and escaped to a focused state with one concern, the Sandusky Redskins. My wife Kathy impresses me every time we watch a game together with her observation skills. “Why is the head coach wearing a hoodie and jeans and not coaching gear?”  “That’s a good question, Sweetheart,” I chuckled in response. “Why wasn’t pass interference called there, they didn’t allow the QB to throw the ball?”  “Well, Honey, the rule states,” I went on to the true definition of the rule with a smile on my face. The game ended, and the players lined up to shake hands, and it was clear to see that at the end of this hard-hitting night, each team respected the other team. The crowd quickly exited, the stands cleared, and the night air became crisp. We walked back to the car along the track with the stadium lights still on, and the cold air became quiet. It became crystal clear that this was one of the last pieces of America we all can be proud of. The solidarity on this night in the stands, the field, and in the hearts of the spectators was inspiring. So, if you need to reset your patriotism or need your heart and mind to be warmed and motivated, head off to your local high school football game on a Friday night. You will experience the last bastion of “True America.”

      Assassination attempt on Trump - take 2

      By Chester86 · Posted

      Do not like Harris’s resume, her platform, her insincere approach, her successful coup of the DNC - and would never find a way to vote for her.  But I don’t hate her, and do not wish evil or violence to befall her.  But hey what do I know, according to some my inability to look past all that makes me a traitor.

      I served our country, served overseas in Desert Storm / Shield, served on the streets for the last 32 years…okay, call me a traitor.  Broad brush strokes that just don’t paint right.  I read your posts and try to see all sides but you are definitely wrong with this one.
