2024mar27.    demagogue(s).   For the second time in eight months, a top Donald Trump ally has, extraordinarily, declined to try to prove that they didn’t defame an election worker. Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake (R) has joined former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani in that distinction.        The news comes even as Trump owes more than $86 million after losing a pair of defamation cases against a woman, E. Jean Carroll, whom he has arguably continued to defame.    Throw in the $787.5 million Fox News agreed to pay a voting machine company over bogus theories that it aired bolstering Trump’s stolen-election claims and the $148 million judgment against Giuliani, and the combined bill is north of $1 billion — and potentially growing, thanks to Lake’s capitulation and other lawsuits.    The Trump political movement has long had a truth problem. That has now manifested itself as a very expensive defamation problem.    As well as anything, these defamation cases lay bare just how careless and demagogic the MAGA movement has become.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/27/trump-lake-defamation/

024mar16.    Trump.    Pence’s lack of an endorsement also highlights the chasm between GOP elected officials and those who actually served alongside Trump in his Cabinet. NBC News last summer reached out of 44 former Cabinet officials and found that only four of them would commit to backing Trump in what was then the early stages of the primary contest. Many have turned into strong Trump critics, like former chief of staff John F. Kelly and former defense secretaries Jim Mattis and Mark T. Esper.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/16/mike-pence-why-no-trump-endorsement/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F3d17cf2%2F65f5bdbf11664804f41a3e2d%2F598b051fae7e8a68162a1429%2F10%2F45%2F65f5bdbf11664804f41a3e2d

2024mar11.    The MAGA aim is voting against this wealth gap through identity politics.  The citizens who voted for Biden generated 71% of the GDP while the citizens who voted for Trump produced 29% of the GDP.  Those 'unproductive' tear at the lifestyle culture of the 'productive', that is, the less productive are 'rural' and most have not attended college, and vote for their 'leaders' for identity politics reasons in essence is 'killing' the GDP greatness of the US -- their leaders benefit, the MAGA voters don't benefit in reality.  https://play.max.com/video/watch/415bbc52-52d9-4fc6-8dbc-d4cb8088f1e7/27043053-d14e-4059-8e60-7b40c479abfb      Enter the issue "why citizens vote against their own interests.        Whites becoming the new minoity.    ETc.

2023jan24.    Immigration.    Happy Harv Otto (H2o) lives and prospers in the most prosperous free-world-country -- people are dying to get in.  Therefore assimilate those that merit -- take the cream of the immigration crop.  For the rest, assist as much as practical, then together, we in the US can grow more in our own merit of co-operation and constitutional conviction.
