I drank the Kool-aide
I drank the Kool-aide and will continue drinking it. I do not like sweet sugary drinks, however, if they help the country, I will overlook the bad for the overall good.
I will not mention how Kamala Harris slept her way to the top.
Nor will not tell you about Hunter Biden’s illegal dealings with Ukraine and China.
I am not going to mention Hillary’s 30,000 emails that disappeared or Benghazi.
I will tell you;
Everyone wishes
their favorite team wins, that's human nature. How many times has your favorite team lost in the last seconds of a championship game?

My favorite football team, the Buffalo Bills, went to four consecutive Super Bowls in the 1990s and lost.
The worse loss was against the NY Giants in the last seconds of the 1991 Super Bowl when the Buffalo Bills field goal kicker, Scott Norwood missed a 47-yard field goal with 8 seconds remaining in the game. The ball went wide right and ever since, the phrase "wide right" has become
synonymous with the game itself, and has since been used in other sports.

I believe this last presidential election went 'wide right' for president Trump. My guy didn’t
make it this time. It's not so bad when you lose by a landslide, but what really hurts is fraud, fake ballots, and dead people voting that can’t be
recalled or re-examined on instant replay.
It's funny, even though I support Trump, I can still appreciate good humor. That's what's wrong these days, we've lost our sense of humor. |

Over the years there have been many bad calls by the refs, pass interferences that should never have been called, roughing the passer, that should not have been called, and political elections that should have never been called.
Elections are much harder to get over since they affect our lives, our pocketbooks, and our relationships with family and friends.
I am hoping politics is not like sports and somehow President Trump pulls a major
chess move such as martial law as suggested by General Michael Flynn to suspend the Constitution and hold an election re-vote overseen by the military.

Sports enthusiasts eventually survive the loss and look forward to the next game or the next season to do better with new players and draft picks.
Politics is anything but perfect. I am bummed when my politician did not win, however, I am not going to let my life be dictated by this one event. Just as when my favorite football team loses,
I get over it. Although I am hoping for that revote, the reality is it most likely won't happen. None the less, I still don't believe Biden won the election.

I reflect back on the rallies of Joe Biden with 50 people showing up in contrast to President Trump's rallies of 20,000 plus. I look at Biden's Twitter following
of nearly 14 million to President Trump's Twitter following of 88.5 million followers, a difference of 74.5 million. That means President Trump has nearly 75 million more Twitter followers than Joe Biden. Facebook has very similar stats. Joe Biden on Facebook has 18 million, for Trump 130 million. Mr. Trump has also outpaced Biden on YouTube in the last 30 days, getting 207 million views on his videos to Bidens 29 million.

There's a joke that holds true, Trump had more people standing in line to use the
restrooms at his rallies than Biden had at his rallies. For me and many others, there's no doubt there was election fraud. Just like in football when the refs are obviously favoring one team over the other.

I am proud of what president Trump did for America and the world.
I hope the democrats can
someday realize all the good Trump did and put aside his cocky bedside manner and look at the end result.

There were many examples of dead people voting by mail, primarily in Biden's favor.
Was this election rigged by the fake news media and dems? That's what the Trumpsters and far-right are saying. How can someone who stayed in their basement prior to the election, had drive-by rallies with at times fewer than 100 people showing up, and to boot on Thanksgiving gave a speech on YouTube
that got less than 1,000 views. A candidate who allegedly received 80 million votes would garnish more than 1,000 views'; I get more than 1,000 views when I write a decent blog.

I am not a rocket scientist,
however, there is no way Joe Biden a sleeper cell, who barely campaigned and barely has a presence on social media won this past presidential election. There's no way he received more votes than President Obama did in 2012.

I do not see this unwritten-virtual-civil war ending anytime soon. We will continue to be a nation divided.

Well said Kimo. My sentiments exactly.
So true! Yes, Kimo you’re probably pretty happy your Buffalo Bill’s are having a great season in 2020! Let’s just hope they can continue into 2021 and the Super Bowl!
So very true and so well said
I can't imagine the US under a President Biden. Scares me to death �� �� ��
Great Analogy!
Would you have said the same of Trump that you said of Harris? Just because we are smart women it doesn't mean we "slept our way to the top." That is insulting to all women and I'm sure you wouldn't want that said of any of the women in your family/friends."
Happy Hanukkah.
Life goes on...
Kit, Did you know back in my college days, I raised old English sheepdogs, and my dogs' name back in 1977 was Kamala!
Mele Kalikimaka to you and your family!
The difference is Kamala DID sleep her way to the top, just ask Willie Brown!!
Jim, I honestly feel there was so much corruption in this election, that if Trump doesn’t win, it’s all over for us as a republic. Look at two issues just in Pennsylvania. They printed 1.7 million mail in ballots. 2.5 million came back. A USPS postal man drove ballots from New York to Pennsylvania, tried one place to drop off the ballots, they told him to go somewhere else. No one was there to receive the trailer. He parked it and it was gone in the morning. There was more problems than that in Pennsylvania. That is one state and a million votes. For me personally, we are going to head into the NWO with communism in America by 10 years from now. Many people know the grave consequences of this fraud. Democracies in the world will fall like dominoes if America goes off this precipice. I will never vote again, because I will accept it doesn’t matter at all
Very good point! Excellent blog! We need a recap!
Brilliant article, Kimo, published in TGI today, 12/27/20! Brilliant!

Mr. Rosen,
It's sad the way you get slammed in the comments section. I for one left a positive comment online however, I must remain anonymous in fear of losing my job because of the mob mentality on this island. Please keep the articles coming. I look forward to your writings!
