 MY SUCCINCT CRITIQUE OF THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE: JOE BIDEN vs DONALD TRUMP

No! It Was Not Joe Biden’s Finest Moment

He did not come across like he did at his first State Of The Union Address

Seems he had a bit of a cold or some sort of bug, as his voice often seemed to fail him. At times he seemed to be overthinking his answers. He often seemed to have too much information in the two minutes allotted for answers or for the one minute allowed for rebuttal.

Joe Seemed a bit old tonight Of Course he is in his 80’s. That being said, as POTUS his job is not to run a race, win a golf tournament, like Trump marked him to be, or even talk louder than anyone else. The most essential expectation is for him to be a respected leader and to make critical, protected,  and sound decisions about the well-being of We The People of The United of America. In addition, not only every American but often the security and stability of the country, the nation, and even the whole world.

The Donald, as per usual did his thing to “Show Up and Throw Up.” You could easily see that he did not prepare for a real debate.

In his finest 90 minutes, all he ever intended to do was repeat dishonest narrative utterances of lies and more lies. And also to pursue every line of attack that he has done for the past three and a half years. He did so with a vengeance.

As I listened throughout the show, it was not a debate in my humble opinion, but more a parody of an attack show, where he completely ignored the moderators and their questions being asked, in favor of indulging his need to whine, snap his teeth and point the finger of blame and shame at Joe Biden. In spite of the fact that he is the one who possesses the most problems and convictions of 91 counts of wrongdoing.

Donald is also older in age, and it showed, as he continued to refuse to answer reasonable questions in favor of endlessly hammering his own talking points indicating that his decision-making would be better than anyone else. All the while in his insistence that America is basically a shithole country-even though every economic factor is up in good stead, crime is down, and the infrastructure is being improved-a proud moment that makes all Americans Feel Better.

In the final analysis, this debate, which errs on the antics of a sideshow idiom; seems is not going to change anyone’s mind. What we did hope for was that the sitting POTUS would have come across as strong at the beginning, as he managed to do later in the show, or would be debated. Hopefully, The realization of being charged with 91 felonies, and being already found guilty of 34 of them pending the sentencing of July 11, 2024 for Donald Trump. This might just serve to light a fire for a greater turnout at the voting polls for Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election of 2024-25.

 EVIDENCE IS SEEMLY ABOUND THAT TRUMP IS IN A PANIC ABOUT THE JUNE 27, PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE WITH POTUS BIDEN


FYI: Trump and his former White House Medical Representative Dr. Ronny Jackson are pushing this insane theory that President Biden is using drugs, and they are demanding that President Biden take a performance-enhancing drug test before the debate. This is part of a crusade to undermine the debate and give Trump a way to get out of showing up for the debate. Dr. Johnson has written a letter, and  Trump has posted it on his Truth Social page. Dr. Jackson has also sent a copy of the letter to the White House demanding President Biden follow his advice by going ahead with the performance-enhancing test to prove he is suffering from cognitive decline.


It is the belief that this school of thought about all of this concocted nonsense is being done to get Trump out of Thursday night’s presidential debate showdown. It seems he is in a panic and is getting cold feet about showing up to confront Biden for the presidential debate 


However, the real book and the ‘Truth-of-matter’ about Trump, that The People are Surmising are these narrative utterance proclamations:

He is a narcissist and a liar-cares only about himself nothing or nobody else matters

He is a convicted felon who shows no remorse-do to the fact he thinks he deserves ‘Absolute Immunity’

He has both exhibited and portrayed the intellect, traits, and attributes of the pathological mindful thought of consciousness 

The final straw and bone of contention is that he errs on the side of being woefully disinterested in public policy for the Civility of People.

Thus he is solely focused on getting his MAGA followers to send him whatever money he can get out of them, as they foolishly send it to him whenever he is in a panic to selfishly help him get back on track

 SLAVE OWNERS WERE PAID REPARATIONS IN THE PAST ERA OF SLAVERY

Documented history: www.https://lnkd.in/gjFrQjQQ/

Article by: Tera W. Hunter, The New York Times 04/17/2019

Title: “When Slaveowners Got Reparations”

The Annuals of History records that Slaveholders who held enslaved people were provided $300 for Human Beings they ‘OWNED”, as compensation to ease their so-called suffering because Slavery was abolished. The court’s decision regarding the “Fearless Fund” to support and uplift Slaveholders serves as a stark reminder that this country’s leaders in the past era of slavery. They were more concerned about relief for the oppressor instead of the “Oppressed’ Human beings held as Slaves. Thus, the 40 acres and a mule were a mere fallacy and a figment of the Slave Owner’s Imagination of Folly.

On April 16, 1862, Abraham Lincoln signed a bill emancipating enslaved people in D.C., that supposedly ended the long struggle of slave ownership. However, to ease the pain and so-called suffering of the District of Columbia and Maryland. The Emancipation Act paid those loyal to the Union up to $300 FOR EVERY ENSLAVED PERSON FREED.

In a word Slave Owners GOT REPARATION. Enslaved Americans got nothing for their generations of stolen bodies, snatched children, and expropriated labor other than their mere release from ‘legal bondage’ Please Go To this Site to read the Complete details. www.https://lnkd.in/gjFrjQQ

 BEING THANKFUL: THE GRATITUDE OF THE FOCUS ON “THANKFULNESS”

Upfront and Close Revelation ‘Regards’ The Connotation On Thankfulness and Gratitude


“Verily I Say Unto you, inasmuch, as you have done it to the least of these, you have done it onto me” {MT 25:40}

Para-Phrasing, Be Joyful always, No Matter What happens, Keep Thanking God, Which is exactly what He wants us to do {closely akin to 1 Thess 5:16-18]


Ways to Consider Being a Thankful Person

Say thanks to your partner

Be Thankful to and for yourself

Savor the good comments

Look outward Not inward

Focus on change of perspective


KEEP IT AS A MINDFUL THOUGHT OF CONSCIOUSNESS

-Revere it as a Preeminent  State of Ultimate Mind Set

-When we give ‘thanks’-God gives us more to be thankful for

-When we thank God-We Acknowledge and give Reverence to Him

-We do it for who He Is, as well as, for what He does, and we  must continue to do so

-We should always be thankful to family, friends, and all others

I most definitely do it for The Sovereignty and The Power of Authority, Amen...

PRACTICE IT: Constantly Keep in Front Of Mind Consciousness, Because it is:

God’s Work In The World

His Work in the Church, Family, and the larger community

And also, as we are cognizant in our own life, to Strive and Express the Gratitude of Being Thankful in appreciation to Him


In Conclusion, know that it is wise and prudent to always be thankful when someone or somebody goes out of their way to be nice, give you a break, and generally make life easier for you. While exhibiting and portraying the benefits of Gratitude, it gives:

Greater Life Satisfaction

Improves healthy relationships

Enhances Physical, Emotional and Mental Well-Being
