Fox News’s Tucker Carlson began his Election Eve program on Monday with a single image from President Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, over the weekend. While he said the picture does not predict how the race will turn out, it is the perfect metaphor for the 2020 election the state of the U.S.

“Butler is like a lot of places you will find in this country once you head inland from the coasts,” he said. “It’s a former industrial town, the made Pullman railcars there for many years, but it’s been losing population for decades. They still have nice people in Butler. For $60,000, you can buy a decent house there. It’s a place you might be happy in, but our professional class is not impressed by Butler. They don’t consider Butler, Pennsylvania, or places like it, the future. To them, places like Butler are embarrassing relics of a past best forgotten, the men of Butler may have built this country and they did but they mean nothing to our leaders now.”

Carlson said no one in D.C., New York, or L.A. cared when suddenly large numbers of people in Butler started dying from overdoses. Things got so bad there that residents built a memorial at the center of town.

If the people in charge had done a halfway decent job with the country they inherited, if they cared about anything other than themselves even for just a moment, Donald Trump would still be hosting “Celebrity Apprentice,” but they didn’t. Instead, they were incompetent and narcissistic and cruel and relentlessly dishonest. They wrecked what they didn’t build, they lied about it. They hurt anyone who told the truth about what they were doing.

collectable value?


Only if the circles used were Hula Hoops, undamaged
by weight when stepped upon by those who found it impossible to stay in place.

Suggest SloJo keep a few for himself - exercise equipment while in his cell. A plus here, these are plastic and would offer little to no black eyes and bruises.

If Trump wins and we finally start moving this country back towards its constitutional roots for the long term,

I began praying this morning that Trump would use his next 4 years to develop successors and processes to KEEP America on target for at least the next 16 years.

We all know Reagan’s greatest failure was GWB as VP and then President. He was no successor, and instead, as we now see so clearly, an enemy to America’s foundational principles, who began undoing Reagan’s accomplishments immediately upon being President.

We’ve been praying that the country is saved from the evil that is lurking.

I hear ya.

The R's have a deep bench, and surely one of them will step up to receive the baton from President Trump. The one caveat I can think of is there are so many worthy successors it is possible the conservative vote is split during the 2024 primaries and a RINO sneaks in.

Carlson concluded that the United States is "still a great country, the best in the world,” but called America’s ruling class “disgusting.” “A vote for Trump is a vote against them,” he said. “That’s what’s going on in that picture, that’s what’s going on in this country.”

Tucker gets it...
