I'm honestly not sure what the demographics of your readership are. I'm making the assumption that we are primarily RFKJr. supporters, volunteers and donors. That said, is the bar so low for Trump that you call Harris out in this article without being super pissed off at how horrible Trump was? We all know she's not our candidate. But come on, Trump did NO-thing to boost my confidence in Bobby's belief or expectations that he will support the MAHA movement. He had opportunities and he blew it. And if you say he was defending himself, he should have created the opportunity to mention, Bobby, Nicole, Elon, Tulsi etc... This was a very disheartening performance by DJT. He needs to do better. His base is safe, we are not a safe, free vote for him. He needs us. Don't take us for granted, show the MAHA and RFK Jr. supporters that you hear us and appreciate what Bobby and Nicole have sacrificed for you!
Bobby said it clear "a vote for Trump is a vote for me"
A vote for Bobby is one less vote for DT so one more for KH. Even if you, like the rest of us, are disappointed in DT performance , keep in mind that a vote for him is for Bobby!
Disagree. A vote for DT in a swing state is an attempt to avoid the tyranny of KH. A vote for Bobby in any other state shows the will of the people: we are tired of "politics as usual" and do not wish to choose between the lesser of bad or worse. A vote for Kennedy is a vote for the future.
I see the letter and it feels with me with disgust that all we worked for, and all he was fighting for is now gone. Trusting corrupt RNC is not a remedy or option to truth! Now we won’t even have a real independent option!!! Just sad!
And the "corrupt" way that kept RFK from competing with JB was NOT disgusting? At this point "He has chosen Where HE stands." It may not be perfect, but politics is the art of compromise...
Chris your assessment skills are lacking. Once you puke the disgust and comprehend it has exactly nothing to do with the RINO infested RNC (possibly even worse than the DNC).
Let your disgust and sadness give way to the best possible decision to save this Republic from the Commies...
The DNC stopped his campaign with all their $$$$ from Soros etc He had no choice! Trump will give him a platform for his agenda. Ending chronic disease ending corporate capture. Etc
Where is this letter? (I've probably already read it)
As for the video, it is a weak argument. There are also a lot of concerns. If Trump wins will he really give Bobby any power. Can even an alliance of these freedom fighters make progress? Kamala is a hard no. But Trump in the White House again sounds like four more years of propaganda and hate speech from the press against him (Trump).
If Trump wins, will he give Bobby any power? That's my concern, too, and given Trump's track record of not keeping promises, the odds are likely he won't.
Muse on. You simply do not comprehend collaboration. The fake news is in freefall. Many individual Bloggers and Podcasters have MORE viewers!!!!!
The exact same is true of the Medical Cartel. You conflate 4 more years with something you do not desire while inadvertanly admitting that either your character assessment of "Bobby" was totally wrong, or that "Bobby" is a swamper... when neither is true...
Our problem ("the commies") is not a single person or two. Voting in or out a president isn't going to cure the problem. This is a war which must be fought in a variety of ways. Any hope of improving the situation, in my opinion, is dependent upon education of the masses. We live in a land of censorship and poor education so it doesn't look very hopeful to me at all.
Trump isn't a "fresh change". He was president already. He did an okay job, but the USA still got "worse" during his time in office.
Here's how I'm looking at it: There are plenty of us who are SO F'ing DONE with the uniparty, we will N.E.V.E.R. A.G.A.I.N. vote for ANY uniparty candidate. So, now our options are Green, Libertarian, Kennedy (in non-swing states), or no vote at all. Any of those options is NOT a vote for Kackala because we would NOT have voted for Trump anyway. So, I'm still voting for Kennedy to reach that 5% milestone.
No, it’s a vote for Trump. Trump is for Trump. Are you paying attention. I wish it was different & hope he has the ability to let Bobby make change but seriously do not think he is mentally capable to be trusted!
unbelievable that people think of the fake news debate as a "performance"
You did not attend a circus Eve. Regardless a vote for DJT is a vote for the most important collaboration in the history of this Republic. Dispense with the cheerleading it is counter productive...
The directive is a request to vote for Trump only in the swing states , but RFK in the non-swing states because 5% of the vote get Party of the People on future ballots and gets it some federal funding ... apparently.
PLEASE NOTE: RFK and his team have changed their request as of last Thursday, Sep 5. The sudden explosion of totalitarianism and retaliation around the globe is a big factor, and they can't risk a close vote. Therefore, the revised request is for everyone in ALL states to vote for Trump, so that there is no risk that it could be challenged and contested. Four years from now will be too late, in their evaluation, given the high stakes, and the 5% strategy is no longer being promoted. A vote for Trump is a vote for Kennedy and the others in this unprecedented new alliance. Vote Trump.
Since the stolen 2020 election it is crystal clear that election theft is the issue. A 70% landslide with the election cheating deterrants currently in place are somewhat reassuring
Actually, I think Trump has learned from his past errors in judgement, and he has said several times that he welcomes RFK, jr and other's support. I'm glad that Trump has expanded his likely policies to include issues like safe drugs and food that Kennedy is championing. This will certainly benefit Americans.
No I will never vote for trump bobby made poor choices I believe in Bobby and his vision should be heard and implemented but he lost my support when came out for trump and worse promoted trump
if you vote for Kamala then you do not trust Bobby or believe in him and his vision. Have faith that Bobby, Tulsi, and the numerous others that have a vision will bring change through Trump.
The fake news Programming, has residual effects on former Dems, hence the volley of Derangement Syndrome most evident here on the Beacon, not just in the comments...
Never would vote dem. Holding out to see if Trump comes around. If not, I feel no need to vote at all and can still feel good about that personally. Bobby left us, I didn't leave him. I'm Independent for a reason and it felt great to truly support a candidate I could believe in. Today I'm torn.
You really do not understand this issue. RFK is not front row and center.. at this time. That takes NOTHING from his vast contributions. Hold onto your hat and evalutate the "crumbs"
performance?? Did you think you were attending a circus???
Twas the fake news echo chamber ganging up on DJT who still put the most important cards face up on table. Nary a Beaconite keyboard warrior could ever have withstood the gangup...
There is still time, especially if there is another debate. Still, it would seem to be critical that the Republicans hit their wealthiest donors for the funds for a massive ad campaign to express the facts you have presented. I would LOVE to hear the messages voiced by Trump himself, without going off-message and down unsupportable rabbit holes. This is the 11th hour!!💪💪
What seems to be critical is that DT put his sh&t together and debate real issues, advance his agenda on HOW, instead of talking about cats and geese eaten by migrants.
Even if it is true our country has far more serious problem than that!!! If DT needed to be coached by coherent people like Tulsi Gabbard or RFKjr or Ellon Musk, why didn't he ask? Or worse, maybe they did and he decided to ignore their advices ?? Definitely what is critical is that Trump put his sh&t together to avoid having KH as our next president for the next 8 years!!!
Really Eve, why not list the top 4 real issues that the fake news ABC did not bring up? Please Eve out thyself!! Now (in true snowflake fashion) you allege that DJT was incoherant. Why would Musk, RFK, and Gabbard then endorse???
I totally agree with Eve. Djt needs to debate and talk about the issues! He may have lost the election after that debate. He has a solid base. He needs to go after the undecided and he did nothing to gain them. I support Bobby all the way and will vote for trump but he needs to help himself too.
The fake news echo chamber is no different from the fake polling, or the fake news.
Normies need a semi to perform the necessary extraction...
The Fake news told us many thousand times over months that H Clinton had 80% of voters. They did cheat then but had no idea about DJT. Put that fact in yer pipe...
I fear we are losing tremendous ground in this situation, and only RFK Jr. can help turn things around. Trump MUST immediately give RFK Jr. a prominent voice in his platform. My concern is that Trump’s extreme narcissism may prevent him from recognizing what needs to be done, which could lead to adverse outcomes for all of us.
40 likes days after the handoff. You and clueless Beaconites are now Screaming that RFK and Nicole are what exactly??? Sellouts? Deep State? Oligarchs?
Howz about ending the Derangement Syndrome stupidity????
Please Kathleen and Beaconites list the top three "horrors" ascribed to DJT and do put them in order. or pound a pillow
Indeed the Derangement Syndrome on full display. Kathleen apparently thou do not comprehend why the Kennedy Beacon still exists, neither do the editors. Your assessment is trivial at best. It is not here to express Derangement...
Trump's biggest mistake in the debate in my opinion was bragging about how great he handled Covid. Bragging about making ventilators to murder people is not a great point to boast about! He should have spoken clearly and said he was opposed to the mandates and didn't support what happened during the last nine months of his term. Better yet would have been doing something in those last nine months other than funding an experimental shot which turned out to be a disaster.
Trump also spent the last 9 months of his presidency focused almost exclusively on campaigning for a second term and laying a very strong foundation for his "stop the steal" and January 6th rolling coup attempt.
I leave it to the voters to decide about various poltiical candidates and our tech leaders.
I will say we need to pay attention to what we are subsidizing. If we are subsidizing things that don’t help Americans thrive in the long run AND help pay off our national debt with all the speed we can muster, that’s a problem.
It’s not hard for real leaders to explain big problems and unite Americans to achieve just and innovative solutions.
Passing the Border bill negotiated by both houses of Congress would be a great start on Day One. Why did Trump ask the Senate GOP to block its passage? Did he think we’re blind sheeple? That’s not the leader we need. We don’t need leaders that take away our rightful freedoms.
Some Americans hang onto a pessimistic, divisive vision. They believe upholding the rule of law and paying off our national debt is rocket science. It's not! They also try to profit from dividing us. We need to agree on a couple of things at least - respect the rules and innovate WISELY to thrive!
Clean energy is much cheaper, more abundant, sustainable, and safer than burning fossil fuels when done properly. We will save a lot of money by avoiding chronic health conditions when we stop polluting air, water, soil, and food with emissions, PUFA’s, and forever chemicals.
The price of energy will go down and never spike again when we complete what remains of our decades-long transition to a clean energy economy. At that point, we can ban fracking because there’s never a shortage of wind and solar when the infrastructure is properly designed and located, and also backed up with inexpensive long duration energy storage (the kind that doesn’t require rare minerals).
The solutions are here, Paul. You just don’t see them yet because you are focused on political power.
Leaders need to listen to those who have experience and vision (not me, but many that I listen to).
Remember the hanging chads on Florida ballots in the 2000 presidential election? The Supreme Court of the United States decided it was "time" to call the Presidential election before the vote count process was completed in Florida. I'm pretty confident that no voter wants the Supreme Court or 50 members of Congress to decide the outcome of the presidential election in 2024, aren't you?
In 2020, nearly 160 million people voted in the presidential election. Trump's goal was to throw the credibility of the vote in certain swing states into question ("if I don't win, then we'll know it was rigged"). Certified vote totals from each of the 50 states were sent to Congress to be certified in a final national total but Trump and the GOPconspited to throw the certification process into disarray by again contesting the swing States in question. The Constitution allows Congress to decide a contested Presidential election by giving each state ONE VOTE which amounts to a total of 50 votes to decide the presidential outcome. This would have nullified 81 million votes. Since Americans believe in democracy, they would naturally feel this radical reduction of 160 million votes to just 50 votes amounted to some kind "legal coup" or "soft coup" attempt. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1h_2pR1pq8s_I5buZ5agXS9q1vLziECztN2uWeR6Czo0/htmlview
Hopefully Americans don't believe in democracy since democracy is simply tyranny of the majority. We have a Republic, even if most people don't realize it.
Yes, but there is also "tyranny of the minority" where Congress casts 50 votes from 50 states to decide our next President. As a lifelong resident of a low population rural state, I've witnessed both the tyranny of the majority AND the minority over many decades. It is also in the history books going way back. Tyranny is just not good, and what we need is three well-functioning branches of government holding onto people-centric values to make things work. The special interest and corporations are polluting and corrupting our government.
Tyranny will never be tolerated in America as long as we have the right to free speech, free assembly, freedom of the press (currently diminished by corporate control), and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances. Stagnation should not be a feature of our government of, by, and for the People. The Constitution gives the People all the powers not expressly given to the states and the federal government. The people achieve justice and self-determination through defending our rights using democratic processes outlined in the Constitution.
Preserving safety and peace, the general welfare, freedom, and justice are central democratic values upheld in our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. We must work together to debate and decide our differences at local, state, and federal level. We must use democratic processes outlined in our Constitution to decide. We are not at the point that 50 votes in Congress need to decide for us. We're just not there.
We must always strive to avoid tyranny, injustice, and the threat of violence. We are living through a period of disruption where both new and long established patterns of tyranny will be questioned and discarded. We will see great things gradually emerge as people get re-engaged in public discourse and democratic process, and none of the things that emerge will uphold or prolong tyranny.
We must work for a new consensus, a new way forward based on core social values and democratic processes. We must uphold the rule of law and innovate together so together we can thrive and pay off the national debt incurred while we were snoozing.
Very nicely written Arvella. You've highlighted a core problem of our times. The checks and balances of our constitution have been corrupted away and no longer function effectively.
Something that concerns me is that virtually every election is a razor thin 50/50 popular vote. We aren't making clear choices of "we want this" vs "we want that". There is no "mandate" from the people.
Whomever should be elected, if it wasn't a corrupted voting process, should win something like 60-40 or maybe 65-35. Thus (assuming the vote is trusted) a clear message is sent supporting the victorious candidate and refusing what the loser was promoting.
With our current situation, my opinion is the best we could do is for a third party candidate to get 40% and the other two getting 30% each, thus saying loud and clear: "against all odds, it's clear we do not want more of the same" - if a third party candidate only gets 5% to 10% of the vote then all we have is more whining about them being a "spoiler".
Trump also spent the last 9 months of his presidency focused almost exclusively on campaigning for a second term and laying a very strong foundation for his "stop the steal" and January 6th rolling coup attempt.
It was painful to see Trump's stumbling last night - nothing close to the sharp, clear messaging RFK Jr. consistently delivers. Harris was VERY well-rehearsed. I lost all trust in team blue after watching what they did in the 2016 and 2020 primaries. I cannot in good conscience vote for Harris and the machine that's backing her - neocons galore. I just wish I could see more of the reasons RFK Jr has moved confidently in Trump's direction as that did not show up last night. Corporate-oligarchy-rigged presidential elections are so f-ing disheartening. Praying for miracles in the next 55 days.
RFK wants us ALL to vote for Trump now. A Trump victory is a Kennedy victory. He needs an uncontestable landslide in both the popular vote and Electoral College.
A lot of people are asking me, if they live in a red state or a blue
state, should they still vote for me? What about swing states?
The answer is easy. No matter what state you live in, I urge you to vote
for Donald Trump. The reason is that is the only way we can get me and
everything I stand for into Washington DC and fulfill the mission that
motivated my campaign.
A lot is at stake. The health of our children, the integrity of our
government agencies, even the survival of our species as the Democrats
push us closer and closer to World War Three. But let me tell you one
more reason why it is imperative we get Donald Trump into the White
House.
Right now, free speech is under withering and relentless attack in America
and across the globe, but we still have enough of it that you can at
least read this email or follow me on X. We can still run an opposition
political campaign.
Well in a lot of countries you can’t do that, because the state controls the
media. The state censors the internet. Brazil just banned Twitter
because Elon Musk refused to censor user speech. Kamala Harris says Musk
better behave himself or he will “lose his privileges.”
She thinks — and the Democratic establishment thinks — free speech is a
privilege. Well I think it is a right. And if Kamala Harris is elected,
the powers behind her will quash that right. They are already halfway
there. It will be too late by 2028. Once we are in the grips of
totalitarianism, we won’t be able to vote our way out of it. This is our
last chance to stop them.
After long conversations with President Trump and his team, I know that he is
fully convinced of this priority. He sees the censorship machine for
what it is. Remember, he was kicked off Twitter back in 2021. And he has
experienced directly how government agencies are being weaponized to
destroy political opponents. He is going to be relying on me to help
clean up that corruption, and that’s why I’m relying on my supporters to
help him return to the White House.
As you know, this could be a very close election. A disputed election
result would be a disaster for our divided nation. President Trump needs
to win in a landslide both in the Electoral College and the popular
vote. He can’t do it unless my supporters join him and look at the big
picture. We have to unify if we are to overthrow the entrenched elites
who are ruining our country.
Here’s what that means for you:
- In every state, if you support me and my vision of a government united around common goals, I encourage you to vote for President Trump.
- This isn’t about splitting votes or sending mixed signals. It’s about creating a united front that will carry us through these turbulent times and restore integrity to our government.
I am fully committed to this path. Any confusion or division at this
stage could undermine the very progress we’ve fought for. And this means
I need your financial support now more than ever.
Our message and our priorities are resonating as never before. They are
entering the very DNA of the MAGA movement and transforming the
conversation about our country’s direction.
We need your support so we can continue generating powerful video content,
ads, and interviews to raise the issues of health, free speech, peace,
and honest government on a national scale.
Also, since the Biden-Harris Administration withdrew Secret Service
protection immediately after I endorsed President Trump, I need your
financial support to pay for critically necessary private security so
that I can safely speak at events around the country.
Thank you for standing strong with me for the future of America.
You are dreaming. He did not sound like a man who knew what he was doing. He knew he would be up against it. He obviously did nothing to prepare and/or failed to take the advice of his debate preppers seriously. Makes me wonder if he will take any ones advice in the future.
Don’t be so foolish! Trump will save America if not the western civilisation when he end the funding to the WHO , United Nations and stop unelected bureaucrats!
He already pulled the US out of the WHO, long before Beaconites even realized it a threat. We are dealing, here on the Beacon, with remnants of the Deranged...
Thank you. That's it! Wow. Jenna is a very good writer, but to see the earring device, scroll down to the last of her post. (Originally posted on Red Pill's site.)
Don't miss Nicole Shanahan's comments after the debate. She says so much, eloquently and succinctly, about what really matters and who is manipulating the puppet strings.
I so wish President Trump had said the word 'censorship' last night because the people watching it, the mainstream network viewers especially, have no idea that there is censorship going on in America, or that the mainstream media is essentially state-run media now, or that they've been conditioned to actually support censorship without understanding the gravity of that. What a missed opportunity, along with not mentioning MAHA – Make America Healthy Again – after she slyly mentioned chronic disease in passing so it could appear to be part of her platform. Trump said a lot about the forever wars and other things, but not these other critical issues. He could have stopped her in her well-rehearsed, earpiece-enhanced tracks on many occasions. (Have you seen the earpiece photos?)
If anyone knows the universal patterns of narcissistic abuse, Harris's contributions to this debate appeared to be the “love-bombing” phase, which is just another part of the manipulative abuse, designed to put you off-guard and make you think things aren't SO bad, or that they might return to normal, before the next attacks. All those platitudes she made to make people forget the agony and destruction from the Biden/DNC/big pharma/blackrock c0vid jab mandates, all the financial and psychological hardship, all the ruined businesses and gutting of the middle class, all the continuing excess deaths, rubbery white clots and still surging turbo illnesses, all the miscarriages and exploding infertility, all the isolation and orchestrated division, all the dismantling of freedoms and constitutionally-guaranteed rights, all the secret build-out of surveillance and control infrastructure, all the utter despair of the last several years.
Let us not forget that this was a warm-up rehearsal, and we'd better find a way to stop it.
Let us hope that the new Trump-RFK Jr-Gabbard-etc. coalition can prevail, one way or another, in stopping the corruption and censorship at the root of our problems, and unify and heal the country.
Here is a transcript of Nicole Shanahan's brilliant comments following the Harris-Trump debate, September 10, 2024. She says so much, eloquently and succinctly, about what really matters and who is manipulating the puppet strings. Share widely.
"I just finished putting my daughter to bed and wanted to share my thoughts on tonight’s debate.
So this debate clearly pandered to the existing base of each candidate, but I don’t think it did anything for the undecided voter. This is why it is so important for the undecided voter to do their own research.
To Kamala supporters, she came off as very strong. To Trump supporters, Trump came off as targeted by the left wing moderators, who clearly skewed representation in favor of Kamala.
You know, but here’s the reality. If you’re living in America today, you probably watched this while also thinking about a chronically sick child, a parent, or a friend. On issues of health care, we don’t need more sick care programs. We need less sick people and healthy food, and that is precisely the plan we have in motion with President Trump.
I can personally tell you that the worst part of watching tonight’s debate for me was the American public couldn’t see who was standing behind each candidate.
Behind Trump is a whole movement of Make America Healthy Again and putting an end to the industrial war complex.
Behind Kamala, are the Blackrock executives who are running offices out of Kyiv because the war in Ukraine is so enriching for them. Behind her also are the big pharma executives who have pocketed trillions off of taxpayers via the Affordable Care Act.
I wanted to see something very compelling from Trump tonight because that’s the candidate that has embraced making America healthy again, fixing the economy, and putting an end to military escalation.
It is no secret that Kamala received favorable treatment by the ABC moderators, but the left, and especially Boomers on the left, they can’t see it. They are under the spell of the mainstream media and they are programmed to see Trump as a felon and a liar.
The moderators tonight were so quick to fact-check Trump but conveniently ignored Harris repeating things like the Charlottesville hoax which has been debunked by Snopes. Or her false claim about police officers being killed on January 6. These are blatant lies and they’re easily disproven. Yet, they were left completely unchallenged by two of the supposedly top journalists in the industry.
As independent voters, we have an uphill battle to climb to show the undecided voters and the brainwashed left how the system is actually set up to skew narratives, hide the truth, and convince Americans to be blind and vote against their own interests. I strongly urge all of you to think critically, and do your own research."
Nah, a debate has rules. It is hardly an open forum. ABC unmuted Kamel Hairs microphone.
Twas totally rigged. The most aware peeps realize this and it most definitley did not hurt DJT
despite foolish Beaconites suggesting so...
Musk is the Censorship king. Zuck the weasel capitulated. If people do not realize this and want to blather about the fake debate that is their issue...
DJT told Zuck publically that he will spend the rest of his life behind bars if he meddles in the 2024 election again, He is not joking. He proposed Ammending the 25th to include VP impeachment provisions for hiding the competency of the Commander in Chief...
Of course this is true. however nothing can mask how horrific Donald Trump's performance was either. He crashed and burned last night. I am really feeling for Bobby and his supporters. Tragic really.
Trump missed an opportunity to bring along the many RFK supporters. He didn’t mention chronic health, or RFK once. So many are aching to believe that Trump really means what he has promised RFK, that he wants our children’s health to be his legacy. What we got: crickets.
Time is short and it seems to me they will be more effective if they deliver the message together. I was surprised that Trump did not mention anything about the unity party, MAHA. his exemplary transition team and areas of service they each bring to the table. I'm wondering how they get the largest groups of undecided voters together to hear an encouraging, uplifting message to people...town meetings? joint podcasts? Critical piece for me is that they deliver the message together.
Trump doesn't need help articulating. This wasn't a debate. It was more like a prosecution. Trump was not treated fairly. No one in his place would have done better. He did well considering. Harris' lies were enabled by the biased moderators. This sham "debate" could be another chapter in Alan Dershowitz's _Get Trump_.
You are incapable of making one comment that doesn’t include insulting people’s opinions. You are childish, immature, and an ignoramus who thinks you know everything about everything. You don’t, you’re an annoying little troll child who needs to grow up.
You need to expand your mind a little bit. Think for a moment if you will about what it would be like if you were tapped to be a vice president of a man you disagreed with. If you were Biden's vice president you would have 3 choices. You could either resign, bite your tongue and bide your time, or criticize and tell the world how you would do the job differently then the man elected by 81 million people who tapped you to be his running mate.
It would be helpful to have a bulleted side by side comparison of the top policy differences between Trump and Kamala that we could send to fans sitters. Thank you for all you do!
I'm not sure Kamala has a policy. She seems to go with whatever she thinks is popular at the moment. For me the one clear strike against Kamala is refusing to acknowledge reality. The first question she was hit with was are we better off than four years ago. She didn't answer, but after babbling for a bit she said she has a solution. Thus implying the past four years have been bad (but without acknowledging it).
Harris is an Avatar created by the DNC. There is nothing there. The meat puppet said all of the right words last night but it was never challenged with fact checks of false statements nor was it ever asked and real questions. The head Of ABC News is. Long time friend and made sure that nothing difficult was ever directed her way. The MSM is running a full smoke screen so the real Harris is never seen until after the election. There will be no questions asked no unscripted moments from now till election. If you want to preserve your freedoms vote DJT and Vance
sort of, she most definitely did not say the right words despite the Programming by the Fake News Echo Chamber. What you said about the MSM is also totally incorrect. The American People have had a minimum of 3.10 year to see the "real" Kamel Hair. She is a Marcist Traitor
trump dropped the ball and took the bait. period. he came off as a dumb ass lout and has nobody to blame but himself and maybe the handlers whom he didn't listen to.
Not even close. The Fake Debate is not about your came off impression.
It is about exposing the fake news echo chamber.
You assert "handlers" Do you even comprehend that you are also screaming that RFK, Musk, Gabbard and countless others are terrible judges of character??
sorry but your comment doesn't make much sense. what's a 'fake debate'?
I am 'screaming' nothing. he got frustrated and emotional, it made a negative impression. its pretty unlikely that the notable endorsers were also debate coaches aka 'handlers'. as far as I know, none of the above people are actually working on his campaign as official advisers. and his performance has nothing to with these people's ability to judge character. so again, makes no sense that I can see.
Trump is the Ethel Merman debater- Ethel was the beloved Broadway star who singing teachers said couldn't sing; she broke all the rules on how to be a good singer; but she had a powerful voice & her agent told her to never take a singing lesson because she was already GREAT. I went to bed thinking Trump was mediocre in the debate, but before I drifted to sleep, his basic messages hit me powerfully: America is flooded with millions of illegal aliens, some of who are dangerous- It is hurting our economy. People can't pay for food, gas, a roof overhead; Life was better under Trump & could get better again. The Ukraine-Russia war is going so badly, with hundreds of thousands dying on both sides. This war would never have happened under Trump and he can stop it within days of getting elected. He will talk to Putin. Biden/Harris have never talked to Putin. John F. Kennedy talked to Kruschev. Trump knows how to talk to Putin. Biden/Harris said the wrong things to Russia & within 3 days Russia invaded Ukraine. Harris will escalate this war with Russia- a nuclear-armed country, risking World War III & even nuclear war, but no one on that stage talked about it, except Trump. POWERFUL!
I “liked” your journalism, Mr Michael Rectenwald, very informative comments and very well written! As a senior American-citizen, I have to comment sir.. I’ve “seen & heard” multiples of reported incidents, travesties, and corruption rampant in the United States now for at least the obvious “12” years, of failed actions to these deplorable politicians (including the Trump administration)! My point is I’ve seen and heard more than I “wanting” to know! Why? Nothing has changed, with our politicians (both sides, seemed the same)! They don’t deliver or know how to start prosecuting these terrible people(leaders?)! Enough has been said and the continued abuse of the American People and our “once” shining USA! We have to go to war with these enemies, both the politicians and the power hungry oligarchs, without mercy(sorry)! I’m not an authoritarian, but common sense tells me.. take away the money, take away their power status, the useless big-government, start prosecuting at the top and make it known, the people have awakened, we will tolerate no more abuse! I don’t know why these people wear “suits”, they can’t pay the bills, they can’t be trusted! I’m so disappointed to see such weak people ruling over us..?? The politicians are methodically killing our Country, families, our livelihoods, are health, economy, they are robbing us entirely, all is being left is poverty and division.. unsustainable!
It’s too bad Trump does not have the training in debate that lawyers receive. They must learn to talk both sides of an issue. That Kamala has this training helped her, as did the 3 against one line up during the debate. Did anyone hear the moderators fact check Kamala even once? Trump did himself no favors by succumbing to the baits she threw at him and he missed many opportunities. RFK Jr could certainly help Trump to better present himself in this kind of venue. I sure would have liked to hear Bobby debate Harris. He would have wiped the floor with her. He has the same training and the smarts to go with it. I’m still voting for Trump. That evil woman has no place in the WH.
The thing is, Trump is Trump. He can't be changed. I think the best approach is to bring in the rest of the team everywhere possible. Spotlight the particular talents of each individual and show appreciation for the differences and similarities. = A Team.
It is interesting reading the comments in this thread and where everyone is at. I will say this debate reminded me of the debate between Trump and Biden that Chris Wallace moderated. Moderator assisting with the attacks against Trump and false fact checking against Trump. Example Trump talked about late term abortion. There are 6 states that currently allow late term abortion. What did Harris and the 2 moderators say about late term abortion? Moderators said no states allow it. Harris said it is an affront to women. Truth is Trump is telling the truth. Harris brought up things that Biden brought up in previous debate that have already been proven as false and moderators said nothing about that. Harris said that the government shouldn't tell women what to do with their bodies, but the current administration told men, women and children to inject mRNA poison into their bodies. They killed men, women and children and injured some for life. Trump did have a great plan by getting big stockpile of free HCQ. What happened with that? Everyone attacked the proven effective, generic drug that was used during SARs1. Proven drug couldn't get big pharma's stuff on the market. All the murders and rapes and now gang takeovers are happening mainly from illegals from where? Venezuela. One of the countries Harris visited to find out the cause of illegal migration from these countries. She said she loves small businesses, but this administration closed how many with their lock down advice? I could go on and on. So many of these things are clear if people open their eyes.
Extreme truth bomb. Beaconites are not particularly interested in truth bombs.
They are mostly refugess from the Dem plantation, most who comment have end stage Derangement Syndrome. Pillow parties relieved the symptoms but had no lasting cure...
I'm honestly not sure what the demographics of your readership are. I'm making the assumption that we are primarily RFKJr. supporters, volunteers and donors. That said, is the bar so low for Trump that you call Harris out in this article without being super pissed off at how horrible Trump was? We all know she's not our candidate. But come on, Trump did NO-thing to boost my confidence in Bobby's belief or expectations that he will support the MAHA movement. He had opportunities and he blew it. And if you say he was defending himself, he should have created the opportunity to mention, Bobby, Nicole, Elon, Tulsi etc... This was a very disheartening performance by DJT. He needs to do better. His base is safe, we are not a safe, free vote for him. He needs us. Don't take us for granted, show the MAHA and RFK Jr. supporters that you hear us and appreciate what Bobby and Nicole have sacrificed for you!
Yes, Trump's performance was disappointing.
A rock could run against Kamala and I'd vote for the rock. My vote hasn't been swayed, I'm still voting for Kennedy.
Bobby says vote for Trump or Kamala will win.
NO Pam. RFK is collaborating for the benefit of this Republic.
He recently disclosed his deliberation with the divine....
Bobby said it clear "a vote for Trump is a vote for me"
A vote for Bobby is one less vote for DT so one more for KH. Even if you, like the rest of us, are disappointed in DT performance , keep in mind that a vote for him is for Bobby!
Disagree. A vote for DT in a swing state is an attempt to avoid the tyranny of KH. A vote for Bobby in any other state shows the will of the people: we are tired of "politics as usual" and do not wish to choose between the lesser of bad or worse. A vote for Kennedy is a vote for the future.
Please see the letter from RFK below with the revised request to vote Trump in all states, and the reasoning for this.
And this: https://x.com/robertkennedyjr/status/1833495327040803288
I see the letter and it feels with me with disgust that all we worked for, and all he was fighting for is now gone. Trusting corrupt RNC is not a remedy or option to truth! Now we won’t even have a real independent option!!! Just sad!
And the "corrupt" way that kept RFK from competing with JB was NOT disgusting? At this point "He has chosen Where HE stands." It may not be perfect, but politics is the art of compromise...
Exactly how I feel, one supporter in Maine collected 700 signatures, I bet he is pissed
Chris your assessment skills are lacking. Once you puke the disgust and comprehend it has exactly nothing to do with the RINO infested RNC (possibly even worse than the DNC).
Let your disgust and sadness give way to the best possible decision to save this Republic from the Commies...
The DNC stopped his campaign with all their $$$$ from Soros etc He had no choice! Trump will give him a platform for his agenda. Ending chronic disease ending corporate capture. Etc
Where is this letter? (I've probably already read it)
As for the video, it is a weak argument. There are also a lot of concerns. If Trump wins will he really give Bobby any power. Can even an alliance of these freedom fighters make progress? Kamala is a hard no. But Trump in the White House again sounds like four more years of propaganda and hate speech from the press against him (Trump).
If Trump wins, will he give Bobby any power? That's my concern, too, and given Trump's track record of not keeping promises, the odds are likely he won't.
Will be a 1000 times better than the corrupt DNC!!
Muse on. You simply do not comprehend collaboration. The fake news is in freefall. Many individual Bloggers and Podcasters have MORE viewers!!!!!
The exact same is true of the Medical Cartel. You conflate 4 more years with something you do not desire while inadvertanly admitting that either your character assessment of "Bobby" was totally wrong, or that "Bobby" is a swamper... when neither is true...
John, you think that your fatigue is the issue?? Saving the country from the Commies that have taken it over is the Nov election issue.
Our problem ("the commies") is not a single person or two. Voting in or out a president isn't going to cure the problem. This is a war which must be fought in a variety of ways. Any hope of improving the situation, in my opinion, is dependent upon education of the masses. We live in a land of censorship and poor education so it doesn't look very hopeful to me at all.
Trump isn't a "fresh change". He was president already. He did an okay job, but the USA still got "worse" during his time in office.
nice try, the "swamp" is not 80 acres in Southern Fl.
The wake up is the education you allude to. Open your eyes and take a gander down the tracks...
Here's how I'm looking at it: There are plenty of us who are SO F'ing DONE with the uniparty, we will N.E.V.E.R. A.G.A.I.N. vote for ANY uniparty candidate. So, now our options are Green, Libertarian, Kennedy (in non-swing states), or no vote at all. Any of those options is NOT a vote for Kackala because we would NOT have voted for Trump anyway. So, I'm still voting for Kennedy to reach that 5% milestone.
No, it’s a vote for Trump. Trump is for Trump. Are you paying attention. I wish it was different & hope he has the ability to let Bobby make change but seriously do not think he is mentally capable to be trusted!
unbelievable that people think of the fake news debate as a "performance"
You did not attend a circus Eve. Regardless a vote for DJT is a vote for the most important collaboration in the history of this Republic. Dispense with the cheerleading it is counter productive...
Can't even believe that in your belief system you couch it in terms of RFK..
So then.... you are voting for Kamala...
Right. RFK wants us all to vote for Trump now. A Trump victory is a Kennedy victory.
The directive is a request to vote for Trump only in the swing states , but RFK in the non-swing states because 5% of the vote get Party of the People on future ballots and gets it some federal funding ... apparently.
PLEASE NOTE: RFK and his team have changed their request as of last Thursday, Sep 5. The sudden explosion of totalitarianism and retaliation around the globe is a big factor, and they can't risk a close vote. Therefore, the revised request is for everyone in ALL states to vote for Trump, so that there is no risk that it could be challenged and contested. Four years from now will be too late, in their evaluation, given the high stakes, and the 5% strategy is no longer being promoted. A vote for Trump is a vote for Kennedy and the others in this unprecedented new alliance. Vote Trump.
Please see the letter from RFK from Sep 5 that I pasted below, and the link to him saying this on X:
https://x.com/robertkennedyjr/status/1833495327040803288
Oh! Thanks, I did not know that.
Since the stolen 2020 election it is crystal clear that election theft is the issue. A 70% landslide with the election cheating deterrants currently in place are somewhat reassuring
You actually think that DJT and RFK did not realize this months ago or longer... Think harder
That is true but irrevevant. Saving the Republic from the silent Commie takeover is a million times more prescient. ..
I agree with your last statement completely. Trump has learned from his mistakes in staff selection the first time around.
I sincerely believe he will be releasing the unfettered BRILLIANCE OF RFK, Jr on ALL necessary targets.
It will be beautiful to behold.
In my mind, RFK, Jr will become an unstoppable force of nature and he will have a vast majority of the USA population behind him.
Oh my gosh, no offense to you, Don M., but Trump doesn't learn. That's the problem.
No problem and no offense to you, but he does and has.
Our opinions diverge, but we obviously both want the best for this country. We’ll have to wait and see what happens.
Actually, I think Trump has learned from his past errors in judgement, and he has said several times that he welcomes RFK, jr and other's support. I'm glad that Trump has expanded his likely policies to include issues like safe drugs and food that Kennedy is championing. This will certainly benefit Americans.
Either that or he saw exactly the way forward and has played the long game... I would emphasize the Brilliance of DJT. RFK his student at best...
That takes nothing away from RFK what so ever...
There is another best option Beth. How about not "following" anyone ever?
How about real eyes ing the best possible decision? The most significant collaboration in the history of this Constitutional Republic????
RFK has shown the blind a way out of the cave. Many apparently are comfortable as cave dwellers...
No I will never vote for trump bobby made poor choices I believe in Bobby and his vision should be heard and implemented but he lost my support when came out for trump and worse promoted trump
if you vote for Kamala then you do not trust Bobby or believe in him and his vision. Have faith that Bobby, Tulsi, and the numerous others that have a vision will bring change through Trump.
Interesting the way you have framed this.
DJT is the visionary, that was always true.
The fake news Programming, has residual effects on former Dems, hence the volley of Derangement Syndrome most evident here on the Beacon, not just in the comments...
then open your eyes, RFK is currently not on stage
Certainly not a major player... yet
Dispense with the false beliefs and re-cognize what is occuring and possibly why its occuring...
Never would vote dem. Holding out to see if Trump comes around. If not, I feel no need to vote at all and can still feel good about that personally. Bobby left us, I didn't leave him. I'm Independent for a reason and it felt great to truly support a candidate I could believe in. Today I'm torn.
Comes around? Someone needs to come around...
Bobby did not leave you. What about collaboration, the most brilliant in the history of this Republic escapes you???
So far, I've only witnessed collaboration from RFK s camp.
You really do not understand this issue. RFK is not front row and center.. at this time. That takes NOTHING from his vast contributions. Hold onto your hat and evalutate the "crumbs"
They are everywhere
In the state that I'm in Kamala would be lucky to pull 25% of the vote. My vote isn't even close to a "spoiler" vote.
Accurate assessment, it is true nationwide averaged!
performance?? Did you think you were attending a circus???
Twas the fake news echo chamber ganging up on DJT who still put the most important cards face up on table. Nary a Beaconite keyboard warrior could ever have withstood the gangup...
Performances are for circus goers.
DJT did not "perform" he put the cards face up on the table.
Those who cannot see this, are in fact blind, and victims of Programming.
Thought you did not watch the Fake News??
Performance?? the fake news donkeyed you John.
It would be rather hard for the fake news to "donkey" me since I don't watch the news.
so John, why then do you consistently comment on the fake news con? just asking
good one, however it is not clear when you defected.
I have never gravitated there in well over 40 years...
A vote for Bobby is a vote for KH...
{face palm} Not even close.
Couldn’t have it better!!
There is still time, especially if there is another debate. Still, it would seem to be critical that the Republicans hit their wealthiest donors for the funds for a massive ad campaign to express the facts you have presented. I would LOVE to hear the messages voiced by Trump himself, without going off-message and down unsupportable rabbit holes. This is the 11th hour!!💪💪
What seems to be critical is that DT put his sh&t together and debate real issues, advance his agenda on HOW, instead of talking about cats and geese eaten by migrants.
Even if it is true our country has far more serious problem than that!!! If DT needed to be coached by coherent people like Tulsi Gabbard or RFKjr or Ellon Musk, why didn't he ask? Or worse, maybe they did and he decided to ignore their advices ?? Definitely what is critical is that Trump put his sh&t together to avoid having KH as our next president for the next 8 years!!!
Really Eve, why not list the top 4 real issues that the fake news ABC did not bring up? Please Eve out thyself!! Now (in true snowflake fashion) you allege that DJT was incoherant. Why would Musk, RFK, and Gabbard then endorse???
Try thinking...
I totally agree with Eve. Djt needs to debate and talk about the issues! He may have lost the election after that debate. He has a solid base. He needs to go after the undecided and he did nothing to gain them. I support Bobby all the way and will vote for trump but he needs to help himself too.
The fake news echo chamber is no different from the fake polling, or the fake news.
Normies need a semi to perform the necessary extraction...
The Fake news told us many thousand times over months that H Clinton had 80% of voters. They did cheat then but had no idea about DJT. Put that fact in yer pipe...
Here's a more critical version: https://mrectenwald.substack.com/p/kamala-harris-versus-reality

Baldy, twas not an insult
It is an assessment.
I assessed FB at its origins and have never particpated.
Put that in yer pipe, Montana
Try opening your eyes
I fear we are losing tremendous ground in this situation, and only RFK Jr. can help turn things around. Trump MUST immediately give RFK Jr. a prominent voice in his platform. My concern is that Trump’s extreme narcissism may prevent him from recognizing what needs to be done, which could lead to adverse outcomes for all of us.
40 likes days after the handoff. You and clueless Beaconites are now Screaming that RFK and Nicole are what exactly??? Sellouts? Deep State? Oligarchs?
Howz about ending the Derangement Syndrome stupidity????
Please Kathleen and Beaconites list the top three "horrors" ascribed to DJT and do put them in order. or pound a pillow
Indeed the Derangement Syndrome on full display. Kathleen apparently thou do not comprehend why the Kennedy Beacon still exists, neither do the editors. Your assessment is trivial at best. It is not here to express Derangement...
Couldn't agree more!👏👌
Remember Trump got at least 3 mRNA vaccines AND he visited the toxic hellhole that is East Palestine…so his brain is fried and he has cancer.
Bobby needs to re-declare his independence from Trump and get back in the race. We can write him in!
Trump's biggest mistake in the debate in my opinion was bragging about how great he handled Covid. Bragging about making ventilators to murder people is not a great point to boast about! He should have spoken clearly and said he was opposed to the mandates and didn't support what happened during the last nine months of his term. Better yet would have been doing something in those last nine months other than funding an experimental shot which turned out to be a disaster.
Trump is a project in progress. . . He is changing and I think, we need to wait.
Are you for real (I ask kindly)?
and that remains a conundrum
Why is he still crowing about that? The assumption with your advice assumes that you have the pertinent information. Think again and hold on
The very fact that he is endorsed by RFK might tell all of us plenty...
The very fact that Anti Censorship E Musk has endorsed is icing on the cake...
Exactly.
Trump also spent the last 9 months of his presidency focused almost exclusively on campaigning for a second term and laying a very strong foundation for his "stop the steal" and January 6th rolling coup attempt.
Arvella publishing garbage as ususal. What you are actually stating is that RFK, Musk, Gabbard and countless other have VERY bad judgement.
I am submitting that it is Arvella that is deranged...
I leave it to the voters to decide about various poltiical candidates and our tech leaders.
I will say we need to pay attention to what we are subsidizing. If we are subsidizing things that don’t help Americans thrive in the long run AND help pay off our national debt with all the speed we can muster, that’s a problem.
It’s not hard for real leaders to explain big problems and unite Americans to achieve just and innovative solutions.
Passing the Border bill negotiated by both houses of Congress would be a great start on Day One. Why did Trump ask the Senate GOP to block its passage? Did he think we’re blind sheeple? That’s not the leader we need. We don’t need leaders that take away our rightful freedoms.
Some Americans hang onto a pessimistic, divisive vision. They believe upholding the rule of law and paying off our national debt is rocket science. It's not! They also try to profit from dividing us. We need to agree on a couple of things at least - respect the rules and innovate WISELY to thrive!
Clean energy is much cheaper, more abundant, sustainable, and safer than burning fossil fuels when done properly. We will save a lot of money by avoiding chronic health conditions when we stop polluting air, water, soil, and food with emissions, PUFA’s, and forever chemicals.
The price of energy will go down and never spike again when we complete what remains of our decades-long transition to a clean energy economy. At that point, we can ban fracking because there’s never a shortage of wind and solar when the infrastructure is properly designed and located, and also backed up with inexpensive long duration energy storage (the kind that doesn’t require rare minerals).
The solutions are here, Paul. You just don’t see them yet because you are focused on political power.
Leaders need to listen to those who have experience and vision (not me, but many that I listen to).
If that was a "coup attempt" it was the lamest, most subtle, most peaceful coup attempt in history.
Remember the hanging chads on Florida ballots in the 2000 presidential election? The Supreme Court of the United States decided it was "time" to call the Presidential election before the vote count process was completed in Florida. I'm pretty confident that no voter wants the Supreme Court or 50 members of Congress to decide the outcome of the presidential election in 2024, aren't you?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_United_States_presidential_election#:~:text=Ultimately%2C%20Bush%20won%20271%20electoral,%25%20of%20all%20votes%20cast).
sort of / twas anything but an attempt
In 2020, nearly 160 million people voted in the presidential election. Trump's goal was to throw the credibility of the vote in certain swing states into question ("if I don't win, then we'll know it was rigged"). Certified vote totals from each of the 50 states were sent to Congress to be certified in a final national total but Trump and the GOPconspited to throw the certification process into disarray by again contesting the swing States in question. The Constitution allows Congress to decide a contested Presidential election by giving each state ONE VOTE which amounts to a total of 50 votes to decide the presidential outcome. This would have nullified 81 million votes. Since Americans believe in democracy, they would naturally feel this radical reduction of 160 million votes to just 50 votes amounted to some kind "legal coup" or "soft coup" attempt. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1h_2pR1pq8s_I5buZ5agXS9q1vLziECztN2uWeR6Czo0/htmlview
Hopefully Americans don't believe in democracy since democracy is simply tyranny of the majority. We have a Republic, even if most people don't realize it.
Yes, but there is also "tyranny of the minority" where Congress casts 50 votes from 50 states to decide our next President. As a lifelong resident of a low population rural state, I've witnessed both the tyranny of the majority AND the minority over many decades. It is also in the history books going way back. Tyranny is just not good, and what we need is three well-functioning branches of government holding onto people-centric values to make things work. The special interest and corporations are polluting and corrupting our government.
Tyranny will never be tolerated in America as long as we have the right to free speech, free assembly, freedom of the press (currently diminished by corporate control), and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances. Stagnation should not be a feature of our government of, by, and for the People. The Constitution gives the People all the powers not expressly given to the states and the federal government. The people achieve justice and self-determination through defending our rights using democratic processes outlined in the Constitution.
Preserving safety and peace, the general welfare, freedom, and justice are central democratic values upheld in our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. We must work together to debate and decide our differences at local, state, and federal level. We must use democratic processes outlined in our Constitution to decide. We are not at the point that 50 votes in Congress need to decide for us. We're just not there.
We must always strive to avoid tyranny, injustice, and the threat of violence. We are living through a period of disruption where both new and long established patterns of tyranny will be questioned and discarded. We will see great things gradually emerge as people get re-engaged in public discourse and democratic process, and none of the things that emerge will uphold or prolong tyranny.
We must work for a new consensus, a new way forward based on core social values and democratic processes. We must uphold the rule of law and innovate together so together we can thrive and pay off the national debt incurred while we were snoozing.
Very nicely written Arvella. You've highlighted a core problem of our times. The checks and balances of our constitution have been corrupted away and no longer function effectively.
Something that concerns me is that virtually every election is a razor thin 50/50 popular vote. We aren't making clear choices of "we want this" vs "we want that". There is no "mandate" from the people.
Whomever should be elected, if it wasn't a corrupted voting process, should win something like 60-40 or maybe 65-35. Thus (assuming the vote is trusted) a clear message is sent supporting the victorious candidate and refusing what the loser was promoting.
With our current situation, my opinion is the best we could do is for a third party candidate to get 40% and the other two getting 30% each, thus saying loud and clear: "against all odds, it's clear we do not want more of the same" - if a third party candidate only gets 5% to 10% of the vote then all we have is more whining about them being a "spoiler".
End stage Derangement Syndrome. Get help
😄
Trump also spent the last 9 months of his presidency focused almost exclusively on campaigning for a second term and laying a very strong foundation for his "stop the steal" and January 6th rolling coup attempt.
blatherfest is yours
It was painful to see Trump's stumbling last night - nothing close to the sharp, clear messaging RFK Jr. consistently delivers. Harris was VERY well-rehearsed. I lost all trust in team blue after watching what they did in the 2016 and 2020 primaries. I cannot in good conscience vote for Harris and the machine that's backing her - neocons galore. I just wish I could see more of the reasons RFK Jr has moved confidently in Trump's direction as that did not show up last night. Corporate-oligarchy-rigged presidential elections are so f-ing disheartening. Praying for miracles in the next 55 days.
You do know that if you live in a blue or red state you can vote for RFK, right? That is my little bit of relief in this mess
RFK wants us ALL to vote for Trump now. A Trump victory is a Kennedy victory. He needs an uncontestable landslide in both the popular vote and Electoral College.
DJT has that landslide long before RFK endorsed. Hence the panic
Can you send me something to verify that. I like to investigate everything
Sep 5, 2024 from RFK
WHO BOBBY WANTS YOU TO VOTE FOR
SUPPORT ME, VOTE TRUMP
A lot of people are asking me, if they live in a red state or a blue
state, should they still vote for me? What about swing states?
The answer is easy. No matter what state you live in, I urge you to vote
for Donald Trump. The reason is that is the only way we can get me and
everything I stand for into Washington DC and fulfill the mission that
motivated my campaign.
A lot is at stake. The health of our children, the integrity of our
government agencies, even the survival of our species as the Democrats
push us closer and closer to World War Three. But let me tell you one
more reason why it is imperative we get Donald Trump into the White
House.
Right now, free speech is under withering and relentless attack in America
and across the globe, but we still have enough of it that you can at
least read this email or follow me on X. We can still run an opposition
political campaign.
Well in a lot of countries you can’t do that, because the state controls the
media. The state censors the internet. Brazil just banned Twitter
because Elon Musk refused to censor user speech. Kamala Harris says Musk
better behave himself or he will “lose his privileges.”
She thinks — and the Democratic establishment thinks — free speech is a
privilege. Well I think it is a right. And if Kamala Harris is elected,
the powers behind her will quash that right. They are already halfway
there. It will be too late by 2028. Once we are in the grips of
totalitarianism, we won’t be able to vote our way out of it. This is our
last chance to stop them.
After long conversations with President Trump and his team, I know that he is
fully convinced of this priority. He sees the censorship machine for
what it is. Remember, he was kicked off Twitter back in 2021. And he has
experienced directly how government agencies are being weaponized to
destroy political opponents. He is going to be relying on me to help
clean up that corruption, and that’s why I’m relying on my supporters to
help him return to the White House.
As you know, this could be a very close election. A disputed election
result would be a disaster for our divided nation. President Trump needs
to win in a landslide both in the Electoral College and the popular
vote. He can’t do it unless my supporters join him and look at the big
picture. We have to unify if we are to overthrow the entrenched elites
who are ruining our country.
Here’s what that means for you:
- In every state, if you support me and my vision of a government united around common goals, I encourage you to vote for President Trump.
- This isn’t about splitting votes or sending mixed signals. It’s about creating a united front that will carry us through these turbulent times and restore integrity to our government.
I am fully committed to this path. Any confusion or division at this
stage could undermine the very progress we’ve fought for. And this means
I need your financial support now more than ever.
Our message and our priorities are resonating as never before. They are
entering the very DNA of the MAGA movement and transforming the
conversation about our country’s direction.
We need your support so we can continue generating powerful video content,
ads, and interviews to raise the issues of health, free speech, peace,
and honest government on a national scale.
Also, since the Biden-Harris Administration withdrew Secret Service
protection immediately after I endorsed President Trump, I need your
financial support to pay for critically necessary private security so
that I can safely speak at events around the country.
Thank you for standing strong with me for the future of America.
Sincerely,
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
AND HERE IS RFK SAYING THIS ON X:
https://x.com/robertkennedyjr/status/1833495327040803288
Thank you very much Beth. I appreciate your doing this
interesting, RFK has slow walked the best possible decision
He has done so for the benefit of this Constitutional Republic.
The fact is that cheerleading "supporters" did not and many cannot
see the obvious... That is not on RFK, it is on individuals.
Their media inspired Derangement Syndrome is patently obvious.
Lorna, if you read this thread you'd see that Bobby's request has been posted several times.
and repetition is very necessary, even crucial at this time in history
Help is available Lorna, but seek it soon...
did you not attend a pillow beating party?
It was rigged. Don't let that prevent you from putting the right people in. Trump knows what he's doing. He's already demonstrated that.
You are dreaming. He did not sound like a man who knew what he was doing. He knew he would be up against it. He obviously did nothing to prepare and/or failed to take the advice of his debate preppers seriously. Makes me wonder if he will take any ones advice in the future.
Don’t be so foolish! Trump will save America if not the western civilisation when he end the funding to the WHO , United Nations and stop unelected bureaucrats!
Even if nothing else, defunding the WHO is huge.
why suggest the "nothing else" scenario???
There are a half dozen bigger issues...
He already pulled the US out of the WHO, long before Beaconites even realized it a threat. We are dealing, here on the Beacon, with remnants of the Deranged...
sound like??? did you actually say that publicly???
Then you descend into suggesting what "he"knew
Then you suggest "obviously"
Then you wonder...
and the definition of clueless on a public forum is???
You are Deranged and your previous support of RFK means your character assessment skills be lacking...
Please see the picture of the earpiece Kamala Harris was wearing during the debate:
https://jennasside.rocks/p/a-recipe-for-frog-soup
let me assist, she was wearing a simple well know microphone.
High tech but very effective, DJT knew this a very very very long time ago.
Pay attention, twas theatre to cast doubt. Beaconites in general are without clue.
Thank you. That's it! Wow. Jenna is a very good writer, but to see the earring device, scroll down to the last of her post. (Originally posted on Red Pill's site.)
https://jennasside.rocks/p/a-recipe-for-frog-soup
14 likes Kat, that means Beaconites has similar tunnel vision, well delineated by N Shanahan.
the disease is TDS, fatal for some depending on their false belief account.
Open thy eyes and attempt to see the innumeral crumbs...
Joe Biden attended a 911 remembrance yesterday. He had a MAGA cap on...
If that is not a comm, not sure what qualifies...
The only pain possible was for those with recurrent Derangement Syndrome.
Crystal clear as evidenced by N Shanahan...
End stage Derangement Syndrome
Your blindness is self inflicted

I so wish President Trump had said the word 'censorship' last night because the people watching it, the mainstream network viewers especially, have no idea that there is censorship going on in America, or that the mainstream media is essentially state-run media now, or that they've been conditioned to actually support censorship without understanding the gravity of that. What a missed opportunity, along with not mentioning MAHA – Make America Healthy Again – after she slyly mentioned chronic disease in passing so it could appear to be part of her platform. Trump said a lot about the forever wars and other things, but not these other critical issues. He could have stopped her in her well-rehearsed, earpiece-enhanced tracks on many occasions. (Have you seen the earpiece photos?)
If anyone knows the universal patterns of narcissistic abuse, Harris's contributions to this debate appeared to be the “love-bombing” phase, which is just another part of the manipulative abuse, designed to put you off-guard and make you think things aren't SO bad, or that they might return to normal, before the next attacks. All those platitudes she made to make people forget the agony and destruction from the Biden/DNC/big pharma/blackrock c0vid jab mandates, all the financial and psychological hardship, all the ruined businesses and gutting of the middle class, all the continuing excess deaths, rubbery white clots and still surging turbo illnesses, all the miscarriages and exploding infertility, all the isolation and orchestrated division, all the dismantling of freedoms and constitutionally-guaranteed rights, all the secret build-out of surveillance and control infrastructure, all the utter despair of the last several years.
Let us not forget that this was a warm-up rehearsal, and we'd better find a way to stop it.
Let us hope that the new Trump-RFK Jr-Gabbard-etc. coalition can prevail, one way or another, in stopping the corruption and censorship at the root of our problems, and unify and heal the country.
Here is a transcript of Nicole Shanahan's brilliant comments following the Harris-Trump debate, September 10, 2024. She says so much, eloquently and succinctly, about what really matters and who is manipulating the puppet strings. Share widely.

"I just finished putting my daughter to bed and wanted to share my thoughts on tonight’s debate.
So this debate clearly pandered to the existing base of each candidate, but I don’t think it did anything for the undecided voter. This is why it is so important for the undecided voter to do their own research.
To Kamala supporters, she came off as very strong. To Trump supporters, Trump came off as targeted by the left wing moderators, who clearly skewed representation in favor of Kamala.
You know, but here’s the reality. If you’re living in America today, you probably watched this while also thinking about a chronically sick child, a parent, or a friend. On issues of health care, we don’t need more sick care programs. We need less sick people and healthy food, and that is precisely the plan we have in motion with President Trump.
I can personally tell you that the worst part of watching tonight’s debate for me was the American public couldn’t see who was standing behind each candidate.
Behind Trump is a whole movement of Make America Healthy Again and putting an end to the industrial war complex.
Behind Kamala, are the Blackrock executives who are running offices out of Kyiv because the war in Ukraine is so enriching for them. Behind her also are the big pharma executives who have pocketed trillions off of taxpayers via the Affordable Care Act.
I wanted to see something very compelling from Trump tonight because that’s the candidate that has embraced making America healthy again, fixing the economy, and putting an end to military escalation.
It is no secret that Kamala received favorable treatment by the ABC moderators, but the left, and especially Boomers on the left, they can’t see it. They are under the spell of the mainstream media and they are programmed to see Trump as a felon and a liar.
The moderators tonight were so quick to fact-check Trump but conveniently ignored Harris repeating things like the Charlottesville hoax which has been debunked by Snopes. Or her false claim about police officers being killed on January 6. These are blatant lies and they’re easily disproven. Yet, they were left completely unchallenged by two of the supposedly top journalists in the industry.
As independent voters, we have an uphill battle to climb to show the undecided voters and the brainwashed left how the system is actually set up to skew narratives, hide the truth, and convince Americans to be blind and vote against their own interests. I strongly urge all of you to think critically, and do your own research."
BRILLIANT ANALYSIS!! 💯
Thank you, Jack.
Nah, a debate has rules. It is hardly an open forum. ABC unmuted Kamel Hairs microphone.
Twas totally rigged. The most aware peeps realize this and it most definitley did not hurt DJT
despite foolish Beaconites suggesting so...
Musk is the Censorship king. Zuck the weasel capitulated. If people do not realize this and want to blather about the fake debate that is their issue...
DJT told Zuck publically that he will spend the rest of his life behind bars if he meddles in the 2024 election again, He is not joking. He proposed Ammending the 25th to include VP impeachment provisions for hiding the competency of the Commander in Chief...
Pay ATTENTION people
Of course this is true. however nothing can mask how horrific Donald Trump's performance was either. He crashed and burned last night. I am really feeling for Bobby and his supporters. Tragic really.
So Lynne it was a "performance". What circus were you attending?
Simpletons believe it a performance as they are so programmed by the fake news echo chamber and are incapable of accurate assessment.
Trump missed an opportunity to bring along the many RFK supporters. He didn’t mention chronic health, or RFK once. So many are aching to believe that Trump really means what he has promised RFK, that he wants our children’s health to be his legacy. What we got: crickets.
I’m waiting to hear Tucker or anyone ask Trump that question directly!!
Same! It gave me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that he didn't mention Bobby at all! I mean, WTF?!
Time is short and it seems to me they will be more effective if they deliver the message together. I was surprised that Trump did not mention anything about the unity party, MAHA. his exemplary transition team and areas of service they each bring to the table. I'm wondering how they get the largest groups of undecided voters together to hear an encouraging, uplifting message to people...town meetings? joint podcasts? Critical piece for me is that they deliver the message together.

There are agreed upon rules when engaging the Fake News Echo Chamber "debates"
It is not an open mike scenario. Clueless people think its a performance like a prize fight...
The message is long since out there. Everyone leaves tracks in the sand, everyone
Trump doesn't need help articulating. This wasn't a debate. It was more like a prosecution. Trump was not treated fairly. No one in his place would have done better. He did well considering. Harris' lies were enabled by the biased moderators. This sham "debate" could be another chapter in Alan Dershowitz's _Get Trump_.
Bobby would have crushed her. He knows how to keep his cool. He is thoughtful and holds space for his replies.
RFK also hasn't been fighting these creeps for ten years. Trump kept his cool. His demeanor was appropriate.
ain't a prizefight Stop with the cheerleading
Saying Trump won is a pyhrric victory when politics is sway so heavily by perception & personality.
you drank the fake news kool aid and demanded refills
The American People know and decided long before the Fake News Debate.
Did you ever wonder why the moron queen of word salad suddenly can speak a coherant sentenc??? Good place to start Jack...
You are incapable of making one comment that doesn’t include insulting people’s opinions. You are childish, immature, and an ignoramus who thinks you know everything about everything. You don’t, you’re an annoying little troll child who needs to grow up.
No Montana, I am exposing false beliefs. You sir are a fool.
You need to expand your mind a little bit. Think for a moment if you will about what it would be like if you were tapped to be a vice president of a man you disagreed with. If you were Biden's vice president you would have 3 choices. You could either resign, bite your tongue and bide your time, or criticize and tell the world how you would do the job differently then the man elected by 81 million people who tapped you to be his running mate.
I agree with RFK that Trump won on substance. He absolutely did. Harris was articulate but she spewed garbage. https://www.facebook.com/reel/913924587213431
I had hoped Trump would have done that with Kennedy before the debate.
consider look a wee bit further down the tracks Maurine
This is what I thought too! If only he could speak as well as Kennedy!! How can we make that happen???!!
It would be helpful to have a bulleted side by side comparison of the top policy differences between Trump and Kamala that we could send to fans sitters. Thank you for all you do!
I'm not sure Kamala has a policy. She seems to go with whatever she thinks is popular at the moment. For me the one clear strike against Kamala is refusing to acknowledge reality. The first question she was hit with was are we better off than four years ago. She didn't answer, but after babbling for a bit she said she has a solution. Thus implying the past four years have been bad (but without acknowledging it).
Harris is an Avatar created by the DNC. There is nothing there. The meat puppet said all of the right words last night but it was never challenged with fact checks of false statements nor was it ever asked and real questions. The head Of ABC News is. Long time friend and made sure that nothing difficult was ever directed her way. The MSM is running a full smoke screen so the real Harris is never seen until after the election. There will be no questions asked no unscripted moments from now till election. If you want to preserve your freedoms vote DJT and Vance
sort of, she most definitely did not say the right words despite the Programming by the Fake News Echo Chamber. What you said about the MSM is also totally incorrect. The American People have had a minimum of 3.10 year to see the "real" Kamel Hair. She is a Marcist Traitor
Bingo!
No John, Kamel Hair is a Marxist. She has avoided policy, but her "policy" is CRYSTAL CLEAR. Anyone wondering has been in a coma for 3.10 years
That should be obvious considering her clear call for censorship and tyranny. As well as her completely socialist agenda.
trump dropped the ball and took the bait. period. he came off as a dumb ass lout and has nobody to blame but himself and maybe the handlers whom he didn't listen to.
he "came off" Really Bottle rockets go off...
Not even close. The Fake Debate is not about your came off impression.
It is about exposing the fake news echo chamber.
You assert "handlers" Do you even comprehend that you are also screaming that RFK, Musk, Gabbard and countless others are terrible judges of character??
sorry but your comment doesn't make much sense. what's a 'fake debate'?
I am 'screaming' nothing. he got frustrated and emotional, it made a negative impression. its pretty unlikely that the notable endorsers were also debate coaches aka 'handlers'. as far as I know, none of the above people are actually working on his campaign as official advisers. and his performance has nothing to with these people's ability to judge character. so again, makes no sense that I can see.
Trump is the Ethel Merman debater- Ethel was the beloved Broadway star who singing teachers said couldn't sing; she broke all the rules on how to be a good singer; but she had a powerful voice & her agent told her to never take a singing lesson because she was already GREAT. I went to bed thinking Trump was mediocre in the debate, but before I drifted to sleep, his basic messages hit me powerfully: America is flooded with millions of illegal aliens, some of who are dangerous- It is hurting our economy. People can't pay for food, gas, a roof overhead; Life was better under Trump & could get better again. The Ukraine-Russia war is going so badly, with hundreds of thousands dying on both sides. This war would never have happened under Trump and he can stop it within days of getting elected. He will talk to Putin. Biden/Harris have never talked to Putin. John F. Kennedy talked to Kruschev. Trump knows how to talk to Putin. Biden/Harris said the wrong things to Russia & within 3 days Russia invaded Ukraine. Harris will escalate this war with Russia- a nuclear-armed country, risking World War III & even nuclear war, but no one on that stage talked about it, except Trump. POWERFUL!
exactly! once the "programming" wore thin your assessment skills, from the super conscious,
were churning and re-assessing accurately. Brilliant prescient contribution for the clueless.
I “liked” your journalism, Mr Michael Rectenwald, very informative comments and very well written! As a senior American-citizen, I have to comment sir.. I’ve “seen & heard” multiples of reported incidents, travesties, and corruption rampant in the United States now for at least the obvious “12” years, of failed actions to these deplorable politicians (including the Trump administration)! My point is I’ve seen and heard more than I “wanting” to know! Why? Nothing has changed, with our politicians (both sides, seemed the same)! They don’t deliver or know how to start prosecuting these terrible people(leaders?)! Enough has been said and the continued abuse of the American People and our “once” shining USA! We have to go to war with these enemies, both the politicians and the power hungry oligarchs, without mercy(sorry)! I’m not an authoritarian, but common sense tells me.. take away the money, take away their power status, the useless big-government, start prosecuting at the top and make it known, the people have awakened, we will tolerate no more abuse! I don’t know why these people wear “suits”, they can’t pay the bills, they can’t be trusted! I’m so disappointed to see such weak people ruling over us..?? The politicians are methodically killing our Country, families, our livelihoods, are health, economy, they are robbing us entirely, all is being left is poverty and division.. unsustainable!
It’s too bad Trump does not have the training in debate that lawyers receive. They must learn to talk both sides of an issue. That Kamala has this training helped her, as did the 3 against one line up during the debate. Did anyone hear the moderators fact check Kamala even once? Trump did himself no favors by succumbing to the baits she threw at him and he missed many opportunities. RFK Jr could certainly help Trump to better present himself in this kind of venue. I sure would have liked to hear Bobby debate Harris. He would have wiped the floor with her. He has the same training and the smarts to go with it. I’m still voting for Trump. That evil woman has no place in the WH.
The thing is, Trump is Trump. He can't be changed. I think the best approach is to bring in the rest of the team everywhere possible. Spotlight the particular talents of each individual and show appreciation for the differences and similarities. = A Team.
It is interesting reading the comments in this thread and where everyone is at. I will say this debate reminded me of the debate between Trump and Biden that Chris Wallace moderated. Moderator assisting with the attacks against Trump and false fact checking against Trump. Example Trump talked about late term abortion. There are 6 states that currently allow late term abortion. What did Harris and the 2 moderators say about late term abortion? Moderators said no states allow it. Harris said it is an affront to women. Truth is Trump is telling the truth. Harris brought up things that Biden brought up in previous debate that have already been proven as false and moderators said nothing about that. Harris said that the government shouldn't tell women what to do with their bodies, but the current administration told men, women and children to inject mRNA poison into their bodies. They killed men, women and children and injured some for life. Trump did have a great plan by getting big stockpile of free HCQ. What happened with that? Everyone attacked the proven effective, generic drug that was used during SARs1. Proven drug couldn't get big pharma's stuff on the market. All the murders and rapes and now gang takeovers are happening mainly from illegals from where? Venezuela. One of the countries Harris visited to find out the cause of illegal migration from these countries. She said she loves small businesses, but this administration closed how many with their lock down advice? I could go on and on. So many of these things are clear if people open their eyes.
Extreme truth bomb. Beaconites are not particularly interested in truth bombs.
They are mostly refugess from the Dem plantation, most who comment have end stage Derangement Syndrome. Pillow parties relieved the symptoms but had no lasting cure...
