Hey Siegfried!!! Keep up the warrior work!

Fantastic.... + let's hope Druthers gets you to a wider audience and more paid subscriptions!

Todd Hayen, PhD, RP's avatar

That would be nice, eh? I suspect that the thousands of free subscribers I have have no interest in converting to paid...so I just need NEW people!! Spread the word when you can!

Rest assured, Todd, I have done my utmost to steer my few remaining friends, all sheep, in your direction... unfortunately, they look upon me as being either eccentric or daft; consequently, they pay no attention to what I say... all very frustrating 😡

I certainly do my best to see Trump as you describe. Some people I truly admire are ardent Trump fans, so I understand that I am not seeing the full picture. I am closest to believing, however, that the electoral process in the US (or anywhere for that matter) is not going to bring us what it is we require as a nation and as a humanity. But I AM willing to hold out and keep faith in certain people who are capable of leading us out of this mess.

The primary attribute of Mr. Trump that I see is indeed his defiance...and his incredible resilience, as well as his self reliance and certainty. That goes a long way.

Martha and Todd, I went to the farmer's market on Saturday and we always are friendly with this particular farmer. Politics came up and he actually said, "If Trump gets in, bye bye to democracy". I said, "Oh my gosh, you actually believe that"? His words were right out of CNN, CTV etc. They spoon feed us what they WANT us to think and most do, sadly.

I find that idea to be the most ludicrous of all...it is the democratic party that has threatened democracy again and again! And every supporter of the Harris campaign, who hate Trump, are the destroyers of democracy....if you supported democracy you would not do everything you could to get Trump, and even Kennedy, off of the ballot!!! The whole point of democracy is to give THE PEOPLE the say in electing officials...if you do everything you can to be certain the people have no choices, how is that democracy???...these people are so stupid it is beyond reason.

I totally agree. It is absolute mind boggling to know so many just do not think for themselves. Who says TV and advertising doesn't work? Have you seen the latest Gretzky ad for another 'shot'? Some people will sell their souls for $.

Todd Hayen, PhD, RP's avatar

Just saw it...good lord. People see no other alternative to advertising than to do us good...no one sees the true motive...to make money at all costs. I guess they feel the "government" will protect them from greedy drug companies.

Todd Hayen, PhD, RP's avatar

No, I have not seen a "Gretzky ad"....??

If you watch regular TV screening it will show itself. I mute all commercials/ads but when I saw him on there I thought, "what is he peddling this time?" and there it was. :(
