Raoul’s Two Cents: October 14, 2022
The Fork on the Road to the Midterms
WARNING: Move to the jokes if sensitive about political ideas.
I can’t believe I paid over $6 for a gallon of gas. I can’t believe the stock market continues to tank. I can’t believe this is still America.
The midterm election is just around the corner. Whether living conditions have improved or not since the last election is the normal gauge of whether one votes one way or another. In other words, if things got better since the last election, you re-elect the current establishment. If things got worse, you vote for the other guy. Simple, right? No. Not really.
Where we are today
It’s quite obvious that things have gotten worse — the sinking economy, the rising crime wave, the unabated influx of illegals, the surging homeless population, the one-sided judicial system … heck, we’re at the brink of a nuclear war with Russia. No matter how you lean in your political ideology, you’d need to be really wacko or in denial if you can’t admit this, right? There’s nothing irrefutable about my observations.
Pennsylvania is a microcosm of the rest of the 50 states. A well-funded buffoon who can’t speak and think logically is up against a celebrity doctor with limited means. It’s anyone’s guess who will win. How is that even possible? It’s because this is no ordinary election. Performance is not the gauge. Personality is. Ideology is.
HIM
“Anyone but HIM” is a mantra of many. Do you realize how illogically dangerous that notion is? One has to assume HE is the worse human being in the planet. After 2 years of irrational decisions by the OTHER GUY, how’s that turning out?
Are we talking about loyalty without question … even to the point of going down with the ship? If Putin says attack Ukraine, do we attack? Is it possible that the ideology of the party has changed? JFK would not recognize his own party today. Are our priorities in order? Do we build the foundations first or do we build the penthouse? If nuclear missiles are launched will there still be an environment to save? Will abortion still be an issue when we are scrambling to survive?
Einstein never really said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result” but the logic is still true.
Indeed, this midterm election is a mirror that tells you what you’re really made of.
TGIF people!

Good morning Raoul,
Yes, I am equally as confused and distraught over our current world situation. I am thankful that the Lord is still in control and that I know where my final destination is. I can empathize with your sentiments and I pray that there will be some sanity with this upcoming election.

Good Morning Raoul, TGIF sniffing fingers 😂😂😂 Well as far as I’m concerned and this is Just what makes sense to me but it’s sounds crazy but then again it’s more believable than a actual virus from what I’ve been seen in that last 3 years ( also the far left was talking about a global shutdown to remove Trump from office before the virus started) , our World Government is allowing us to destroy ourselves. 1. Contaminating food in certain areas to get people sick or get them weak 2. Tell people theirs a new virus 3. Forced people to take contaminated virus test 4 Forced contaminated Vaccines 5 start wars and let people kill themselves. KEEP in MIND that most vaccines and test kits are harmless to the human body but depending on where and who the far left government wants to sicken people then that’s where people get hurt . I pray that’s not the case and only Jesus besides the Bad government knows whats going on . That’s why I Just depend on Jesus. Anyway please pray for me and my Family, My mom got involved in helping out a young man that is not ok in the head and on Drugs. He’s homeless and stays the night at my moms shop . My moms knows him well because it’s the Son on her apartment manager. I know him too but I just met him . I don’t think my mom should’ve got involved but Now it’s just in Gods hands and hopefully this young man gets right with God and society.
😂😂😂🙏🙏🙏 I hope all is well with you and the Family brother 🙏🙏🙏

Why is corruption so unabated? Here’s something your readers might want to consider.
Ever wonder how deep the swamp is?
“Things you must know to be informed: ‘
————————————
*YES, THE GOVERNOR OF MICHIGAN USED TO WORK FOR GEORGE SOROS.*
*YES, CALIF GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM IS NANCY PELOSI’S NEPHEW
* YES, ADAM SHIFF’S SISTER IS MARRIED TO ONE OF GEORGE SOROS’ SONS.
* YES, JOHN KERRY’S DAUGHTER IS MARRIED TO A MULLAH’S SON IN IRAN.
* YES, HILLARY’S DAUGHTER CHELSEA IS MARRIED TO GEORGE SOROS’ NEPHEW.
* YES, ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER IAN CAMERON IS MARRIED TO SUSAN RICE, OBAMA’S FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER.
* YES, CBS PRESIDENT DAVID RHODES IS THE BROTHER OF BEN RHODES, OBAMA’S DEPUTY NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER FOR STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS.
* YES, ABC NEWS CORRESPONDENT CLAIRE SHIPMAN IS MARRIED TO JAY CARNEY, FORMER OBAMA WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY.
* YES, ABC NEWS AND UNIVISION REPORTER MATTHEW JAFFE IS MARRIED TO KATIE HOGAN, OBAMA’S FORMER DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY
* YES, ABC PRESIDENT BEN SHERWOOD IS THE BROTHER OF ELIZABETH SHERWOOD, OBAMA’S FORMER SPECIAL ADVISER.
* YES, CNN VP VIRGINIA MOSELEY IS MARRIED TO TOM NIDES, FORMER HILLARY CLINTON’S DEPUTY SECRETARY.
THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A “STACKED DECK”. IF YOU HAD A HUNCH THE NEWS MEDIA WAS SOMEWHAT RIGGED AND YOU COULDN’T PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT, THIS MIGHT HELP YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE.
Now you know why no one is investigated. They all have their hands in the cookie jar! You might remember James Comey who investigated the Clinton email scandal and the Clinton Foundation, and made the final decision to not recommend prosecution by the DOJ.
It turns out that the Clinton Foundation was audited by the law firm DLA Piper. One of the executives there was in charge of the Clinton Foundation audit.
Who was it? Peter Comey, James Comey’s brother. Peter Comey held an executive position with the Washington law firm that did the audit of the Clinton foundation in 2015. Peter Comey was officially DLA Piper “Senior Director of Real Estate Operations for the Americas,” in 2015 when the Clinton Foundation scandals first broke and Hillary was preparing her Presidential campaign. Not only was DLA Piper, the firm where Comey’s brother worked involved in the audit of the Clinton Foundation, but according to the foundation’s donor records, DLA Piper has given between $50 – 100k to the Foundation. It gets even cozier.
DLA Piper executive Douglas Emhoff is taking an extended leave of absence from the firm. Who is Douglas Emhoff? He is the husband of KAMALA HARRIS! Just a coincidence? Amazing if it is. You can’t make this stuff up! Another example of the DC swamp.”
And it only gets worse. This “Family Tree” will make your head spin .
. THE SWAMP IS DEEP!!
