Yeah, Right, Reich!

A recent blog post by Robert Reich has the title “Should Harris give more details about what she’ll do as President?” Yeah, right. Now that Donald Trump has renounced “Project 2025,” he has provided us with a large number of specifics about what he actually plans to do instead, like, uh, like. . . .

Providing specifics is like throwing red meat at Trump supporters, they will tear into any such and distort them and create a whole new set of lies. For example Harris indicated that unsupportable price hikes on groceries and other staples would have to be addressed, maybe through an excess profits tax as has been done before. Trump supporters immediately morphed this into “Price controls, she wants price controls!”

I think the wise thing to do is match Trump specific for specific, which means one as of now. So far, Trump has promised rich people another round of tax cuts for them and Harris has promised to “tax the rich more.” That’s it, I think.

Christians Get Serious!

A piece in The Guardian showed up with the title “‘We have to be voting biblically’: the Courage Tour Rallies Christians to get Trump in Office.”

It is good to hear that Christians will be being active politically, but they seem to have their candidates mixed up.

Kamala Harris is a longtime member of Third Baptist Church — her pastor, Amos C. Brown, called her “an old-timer” — and she has talked extensively about her upbringing in both the Christian and Hindu faiths. Harris has a long-term relationship with her pastor, who she called when she decided to run for president, talking with him, his wife and praying with them.

She was brought up in a Hindu household, yet chose Christianity.

Donald Trump on the other hand . . . played golf last Sunday . . . and cheated on his scorecard (he always cheats on his scorecard).

Christians shouldn’t be voting for someone who cheats at golf.
