2024: CLICK https://x.com/JohnLeFevre/status/1822081323944550489 [2:35] to hear Greg Gutfeld explain … in all seriousness … how Trump’s presser yesterday showed everyone the number one reason everyone should want him in the White House.

BAR EXAM: During his presser, Trump mentioned that Harris failed the bar exam. Fact check: She did fail to pass the first time. I don’t like Kamala or her policies, but there are two reasons I can’t care about the bar exam. One is that, when my super-smart niece took the California bar exam and passed the first time, there was a big brouhaha in the family, because half the people who take it fail on their first try. The other is my hubby, who also failed the New York State architecture exam, another notoriously difficult exam. Like my niece, those who pass on their first try are lauded for this accomplishment. He’s an excellent architect.

KAMALA: [10:11] – My favorite comment on this video – “A strong and confident woman WOULD talk to the press. Period.”

Fox News reports (video embedded) on Harris talking very briefly with reporters next to a screaming jet for less than 2 minutes. She said absolutely nothing of consequence … much like her campaign website @ https://kamalaharris.com/.

Despite having been the presumptive Democrat nominee for President of the United States for weeks, she has yet to post a single policy position. There are donations buttons, one page bios for her and Walz, a page to sign up to volunteer, an events calendar, and a store.

LOGIC: I saw this on the internet – “When there is an argument, one or both of the people lack some important basic information, so it’s important to figure out what it is.”

Actually, I more often find that we are operating from different unproven basic assumptions. Like when we studied geometry in high school. Point, line, and plane were merely defined; they were never proven to exist. We just started with them as our basic assumptions and moved through our proofs to show what was true and what was untrue. BUT our conclusions were true ONLY in so far as the basic assumptions were true.

When I reach an impasse with someone who is willing to discuss a subject logically, I find it very helpful to back track to find what our basic assumptions are. Most of the time, they are so different that, unless we can find some other common ground, we must agree to disagree.

MILITARY: [3:17] – At Trump’s presser yesterday, he said that he knew the 13 families of the American “soldiers” who were killed at Abbey Gate in Kabul in 2021. The Lamestreamers jeered because, you know, they weren’t all “soldiers.”

This is true. Eleven were Marines. One was a Sailor. One was a Soldier.

Never mind Trump’s actual point, which was that he had taken the time to get to know those families, unlike Biden who was so bored by the whole thing that he kept looking at his watch while their caskets came off the plane.

Still, someone does need to teach Trump that, when speaking of multiples like this, you’re supposed to use “troops” or “service members.”

BTW, I was told by the fruit-of-my-womb Marine that she should be referred to as a “warrior.” The video above says otherwise, but I do what my military kids tell me. They’re all trained in hand-to-hand and armed combat, thank you very much.
