What Was Missing From Trump's Address...
7/19/2016 | Self

Posted on 07/19/2026 6:06:34 PM PDT by ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton

So Trump's speech landed like a tree in the forest with no one listening. What could have made it more viral?

I was thinking he could have started it with: "As I am speaking, the FBI is currently arresting hundreds of people connected to voter fraud..."

Lack of oil is what ultimately doomed them

That, and the Red Army.

Youtubers were building it up as if the corruption in Georgia was going to be highlighted. Instead, he didn’t mention it.

And as usual, no arrests have been made. Someone else pointed out that it’s good that it wasn’t shown on all networks.

Find a bombing campaign that ends the freaking war!

Bombing beat Imperial Japan, didn’t it.

But we have additional choices at the moment.

All of them better.

The president knows what he’s doing.

And to whom.

No, not really.

Japan was heavily bombed AFTER the IJN was on the bottom of the ocean, extensive Japanese holdings in the Pacific had been conquered (at considerable cost), and after Japan had sustained 2.5 million casualties in her armed forces.

Obviously the air campaign from March-August 1945 was something of a last straw, but saying "bombing beat Japan, didn't it" is an exaggeration.

It was fortunate that Hirohito’s word carried the weight that it did, and nobody bumped him off before he gave his speech.

It’s against the law for them to vote, thus the RATS are allowed to create districts via illegal voting. You don’t have one, without the other.

“illegal aliens that vote in U.S.”

This line has no credibility as it is the fox in the henhouse, the vote harvesters, and not illegal aliens. Likewise the “Chinese” line arouses few. The Chinese “could have” but didn’t.

In 2020 in the far SW corner of East Point, Fulton County GA I received an unsolicited mail-in ballot, as did the former resident of my house and the former resident in the vacant house next door. Then a nice lady knocked on my door and offered to “take care” of my mail-in ballot for me. The mail-in ballots of the former residents “disappeared”. Was the nice lady a vote harvester? Does the FBI know who were the vote harvesters? Does anyone care to back up the allegations with proof?

“Having John Solomon, that reasonable guy, co-opt the messaging was a mistake…”

I can’t recall a single John Solomon bombshell that has ever come to fruition.

“Bombing didn’t beat Germany, it didn’t even impair war production to a significant degree.”

AI Overview

The strategic bombing of Germany played a vital role in ending WWII by crippling the Nazi war machine, achieving total air supremacy, and draining resources from the ground fronts. It was not a silver bullet that won the war on its own, but it was a crucial enabler for the ultimate Allied land victory.

The Allied Combined Bomber Offensive successfully shortened the war and aided the final defeat of Nazi Germany in several concrete ways:

Crippling Industry and Supply: Attacks on factories, oil refineries, and transportation networks severely restricted Nazi Germany’s ability to produce weapons, fuel, and vehicles.

Gaining Air Superiority: By aggressively targeting German fighter production and engaging the Luftwaffe in the air, the Allies controlled the skies over Europe. This allowed the D-Day invasion to succeed and protected Allied ground troops from aerial attacks.

“If it’s already gone “viral” then how much more “viral” can it get? Too much is never enough!”

Well yeah, but these days “viral” has been redefined as something which maybe 3 people have been exposed to, LOL.

For proof, read any bombastic clickbait headline which uses the term.

"This line has no credibility as it is the fox in the henhouse, the vote harvesters, and not illegal aliens."

Then why have illegal aliens been arrested for having voted in U.S. elections, if someone else is harvesting their votes?

1 week ago:

Noncitizen Accused of Falsely Claiming U.S. Citizenship Before Casting Federal Ballots

From March:

Illegal immigrants from Africa, India and China are voting in US elections — here’s how they’re doing it

From January:

AI is hallucinating. January and February 1945 was the peak of German war production.

Even after the Red Army had finished raping their way through East Prussia and were at the gates of Berlin, factories were working turning out weapons and explosives.

Facts:
Some Youth age 16-17 are registered to vote when they get a drivers license. Of these youth, some vote in person; for some a vote harvester votes on their behalf; most do not vote.
How many of each? WE DON’T KNOW.

Some immigrant illegals, some non-citizen legals with visa are registered to vote when they get a drives license. Of these non-citizens, some vote in person; for some a vote harvester votes on their behalf; most do not vote. How many of each? WE DON’T KNOW.

My personal experience is now in GA, previously in IL. My personal experience is much more with illegals than it is with legal immigrants and much less with youth than non-citizens.

For many years my 40+ hr job was to knock on doors in heavily immigrant communities. Plus I spent even more hours per week knocking on doors for politics...and for Community Organizations. Later my work was mostly data in large databases.

WE DON’T KNOW is the most important thing I have been trying to communicate in 2026.

In 2020 Soon after I, and the former resident of my house and the former resident of the vacant house next door, received unsolicited mail-in ballots a nice lady knocked on my door and offered to “take care” of the mail in ballots. The mail-in ballots left in the mail boxes disappeared. Was she a vote harvester? WE DON’T KNOW. We can speculate. But we have no proof.

When I was in IL in a former life I proved vote fraud. I proved a vote haverster (aka Political patronage) voted on behalf of the dead. I proved with signed afadavits that people who had moved away and not come back to vote and that a vote harvester voted on their behalf.

I proved with afadavit that a Canadian lady who lived in my precinct had not voted and that a vote harvester had voted on her behalf.

I also proved that husband, daughter voted on behalf of wife, parents which was a different form of vote harvester from the “patronage political worker” form. I proved that the vote of officers of the Libertarian Party had been counted as a vote for the major party.

(I speculate here that the single biggest form of vote fraud in 2020 was Libertarian votes being counted for Harris.)

The fact is WE DON’T KNOW how many. People have been quick to make allegations...and the allegations are probably true. But rarely are people willing to do the tedious door knocking and time consuming discussions with those who might have information. I did those in IL. Not in GA.

On all sides of the debate people do not want to admit: WE DON’T KNOW. We can only speculate, estimate.
