A sheriff’s deputy arrived at Nathan and Danielle Clark’s front door on the outskirts of Springfield, Ohio, in September with the latest memento of what their son’s death had become. “I’m sorry that I have to show you this,” she said and handed them a flier with a picture of Aiden, 11, smiling at the camera after his last baseball game. It was the same image the Clarks had chosen for his funeral program and then made into Christmas ornaments for his classmates, but this time the photograph was printed alongside threats and racial slurs.“Killed by a Haitian invader,” the flier read. “They didn’t care about Aiden. They don’t care about you. They are pieces of human trash that deserve not your sympathy, but utter scorn. Give it to them … and then some.”“They have no right to speak for him like this,” Danielle said. “It’s making me sick. There must be some way to stop it.”This was the version of the country the Clarks and their two teenage children had encountered during the last year, ever since Aiden died in a school bus crash in August 2023 on the way to his first day of sixth grade. The crash was ruled an accident, caused by a legally registered Haitian immigrant who veered into the bus while driving without a valid license. But as the presidential campaign intensified, former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, began to tell a different story.

Hakim Jeffries is a bought and paid for operative of AIPAC and Israel. Like numerous other Democrats like John Fetterman et al. It's better for America if the GOP sweeps the election. See how the GOP will change absolutely nothing for rural and inner cities areas that will continue to decline under Republican leadership. See how long before an increasingly deranged and decompensating Trump lasts before the GOP has to invoke the 25th amendment so Vance can be the frontman for the Libertarians.

At this point it would be better if the GOP makes a clean sweep and wins The House so America can immediately experience what they're going to face under an administration controlled by Libertarian oligarchs like Musk, Thiel, and numerous others, not to forget the next three ultra -right-wing lunatics in Leonard Leo's bull pen that will replace Roberts, Thomas, and Alito. Democracy no longer exists in America, the only people who will benefit from the GOP win are the ultra rich, big business.

Here we go again, the damn MSM asking the wrong questions. Instead of asking why the voters supported a lying grifter, they try to again discredit Biden.

Ested Herdon (sorry for misspelling) hit the nail on the head as soon as he spoke. It is so regrettable that the people who knew Biden was a bad choice to re-elect did not get a chance to vote for someone else in the primary. Huge mistake.

I wish you had asked Michael what he wants Harris to do and what specific dangers he thinks Trump poses. Does he even realize the president needs both houses of Congress to pass a bill? What has he done except complain? Has he canvassed, called voters or elected officials, demonstrated and organized to get Georgia to accept full Medicaid benefits under the ACA, donated money, sent postcards to voters, and volunteered for anything? You let him complain but not explain. I'm disappointed in you.

This is funny. My wife is a Republican, I'm Green Party, and my son is a Democrat, and not one Republican has come to our house. My wife's ballot signature was challenged (she probably won't follow up), mine and my son's were already accepted. They basically just lost a vote because of all of their nonsense. We've all been vori g by mail for a while now.
