Raoul’s Two Cents: June 28, 2024
Observations of the Debate
WARNING: Political Topic. Move on to the jokes if you’re not interested.
The great debate between Biden and Trump is history. You’ll know whose predictions were accurate. And the media will have their analysts massaging the truth to their liking.
I dare not contribute to the confusion so I will just share a few observations about the event.
For me, this is a perfect example of why America is such a great country. To witness polar opposites verbally slug it out yet still being relatively civil to each other is impressive. Few countries have the forum nor the political stamina to stage this.
In the main stage was a battle of ideas, name-calling and lying. But the setting of the battleground itself was beautiful to behold. I think we should be conscious of the forces that try to divide us. That is the real enemy. America, despite all the craziness in today’s politics, is still an amazing country to live in.
But this is just me. TGIF people!

Very short. If you saw my last text, I don’t care. My mind is on spiritual things and the word, not politics. TGIF

It’s so obvious to me and my husband that Trump deserves to be given four years to try to rectify all the stupid decisions Biden made that brought us to this point of craziness. The debate was a clear example of how Biden has always just been a puppet and without his puppet masters, he is just a buffoon. Even die-hard democratic politicians are scrambling and panicking because they see, for the first time, that Trump is more of a formidable foe than they ever gave him credit for. Praying that truth and justice will prevail in our country, Raoul! And yes, it’s still great but, as Trump said last night, we can make it greater!
