Topics: 

VA abortion law did NOT support killing a perfectly healthy baby

Misleading video, Gov office issued clarification
Outrageous stories, even with video and photos…

…Should be regarded with strong skepticism




The person hallucinating is the one seeing something, the other doesn’t

Hallucinations ADD something to reality
The person hallucinating, is the one seeing something…

…that the other person doesn’t see




President Trump’s humorous, persuasive tweet on climate change
Dan Coates says it’s unlikely NK will give up their nukes

Dan Coates should be fired
President was correct to tear Dan Coates a new one
Worst thing in negotiation is to say we won’t get what we want
Why should NK give up nukes if we don’t expect it?


Intel guy says ISIS isn’t beaten…he should be fired

His statement will help ISIS recruit and survive
Disagreeing with the negotiating strategy of the President…

…is always valid grounds for being fired




Howard Schultz would be a strong candidate if Dems wanted him

He’s performing a public service by calling out the Dems
Bloomberg is also calling out extreme Dem policies


Roger Stone raid at dawn

Nobody can think of a valid reason why it was necessary
Was there a good reason that we can’t think of?
Why were so many officers needed for the arrest?
Did extra officers just want to be part of the event?

If you heard CNN was there, wouldn’t you want extra officers?

Topics: 

Kamala’s town hall, she expressed her opinion on a topic

People explained to her why that opinion wasn’t practical
Kamala realized she was wrong and shifted her opinion
Changing her opinion to a better opinion, is a good sign


Morning Joe slobbered over Kamala’s charisma

Her supporters agree, competent answers, strong presence


Howard Schultz is on a book tour…and also running for President?

If he isn’t fake-running, it might destroy Starbucks


Howard Schultz is presenting as a “reasonable” Democrat

So CNN has 3 anti-Schultz stories this morning


Would you support people OPTIONALLY, anonymously…

giving up their personal health privacy…
…In return for them receiving free healthcare?
Data on health issues, lifestyles, solutions for all


Who has a lower crime rate…

People who wear MAGA hats?
People who have never worn a MAGA hat?


Risk management is different than what’s legal

Wearing a MAGA hat in public, increases your risk
Wearing a MAGA hat in public, is also legal


70% tax rate for the wealthy, will that ever happen?
Climate change debate: Dumb skeptic arguments

The temperature has always changed, means nothing
CO2 and temperature not in sync…fake charts
So what if the earth is warming?  Warm is good!
CO2 is plant food, very true, also very dumb
Temperatures are NOT actually going up
Climate scientists are all part of a conspiracy!


Good skeptic arguments about climate change

The science alone is possible, but isn’t compelling
The scientists have added BS marketing concepts

Did Kamala invoke the Charlottesville conspiracy theory?
Senator Manchin says turn this over to the engineers and experts

“SMART WALL” is a smart persuasive phrase


Climate change has BS on both sides of the topic

One side is correct, we don’t know which
The marketing of the science looks like a hoax
The marketing of the skeptics is mostly unconvincing


The “Research Well”, what happens when you reach a point where…

You don’t understand the claim being made
You can’t determine if the claim is true
Confirmation bias always wins in the end

Your original belief becomes your conclusion

Ex-Hillary people (and The Mole) now working for Kamala
Kamala lacks charisma, that’s a problem for her team


Kamala campaign slogan, “For the People”…as opposed to what?

Kamala tweet framing men as the problem

Is she running a Hillary 2.0 anti-male campaign?
Kamala’s campaign theme is the Gillette commercial


Willie Brown as a politician and a funny guy
Wall committee, who is on it? Why haven’t we heard?

If the media does a blackout, nothing is going to happen


Wall committee will need to add a “poison pill” to stop POTUS

If they propose funds for the wall…POTUS wins
Proposing something POTUS can’t accept, seems likely


Predictions review…

“Me Too” will cause male execs to fear mentoring women
Cuban sonic weapon, wasn’t
Vegas shooting wasn’t ISIS 
NK a year before anything happened, peace possible
Howard Schultz will NOT run a third party campaign
AOC has master persuader skills


AOC is going to be a very big deal in the future

She’s smarter than you think, possibly super-smart
She’s also a racist and race baiter
AOC is a “Blue Trump”

Episode 393 Scott Adams: Democrats Once Again Winning the Game No One Was Playing

Topics: 
The only valid comparison to President Trump, is President Hillary

Would her border solution have been as good or better?
What would her solution have looked like?


80/20 Rule applies to our future border security solution

Improve the worst 20% and get 80% improvement


Dems are fighting the President, not a secure border

Everybody wants better border security

Lots of historical video shows Dems agree with the need


Dems just don’t want the credit to go to the President


President Trump’s border security strategy

He’s put ALL his political capital on the line for this
Result will be a substantial improvement
Even critics will agree solution is even better than his promise


Never underestimate Dems ability to shoot themselves in the foot
How do we improve healthcare, without it costing everyone a fortune?

Lowering healthcare cost is the key
Diff Rules, regulations, startups potential can lower costs


If Government makes a big push for better healthcare, lower costs

Objective: Universal Healthcare for all…without increased cost
If everybody’s healthcare was tracked, would help all


Giving up your privacy, isn’t necessarily a bad thing

Gays used to be in the closet, was that a good thing? NO
Staying quiet and privacy was a problem for acceptance
They “gave away” their privacy by coming out of the closet
Coming out…benefitted their community immensely
