NBC - Meet the Press - President Trump - Sep 17, 2023

 

NBC – Meet the Press – President Trump – Sept 17, 2023

 

ATT: Ms. Kristen Welker

Congratulations on your new role at Meet the Press. I enjoyed your interview with Trump.

It is terrible that the leftist media is criticizing your first show. Virtually any political candidate should be afforded the forum to be heard by all.


1) I think that you were not correct in disputing Trump regarding his pro-life comments. Contrary to what you stated, I believe that you would find that each of the 20 Democrats who qualified for the first debate series prior to the 2020 election were advocates for partial-birth abortion… including Biden (also including Obama). If so, such advocacy is disgusting beyond measure.


No nation on earth will survive intact that which kills its unborn children.


2) Contrary to your understanding, there are many patriotic Americans, including Democrats, who believe that there was significant fraud in the 2020 election, effectively a stolen election, affected by:

a) ballot harvesting
b) extended multi-day voting
c) mail-in balloting
d) signatures and/or dates missing on mail-in ballots without being rejected
e) refusal of Democrats to promote voter identification
f) electoral officers of 3 states changing electoral laws contrary to their respective state constitutions

Isn’t it rather dismissive to think that any one of these scenarios couldn’t possibly result in significant problems or broken trust?


With all the criticism of recent deniers, it should be remembered that prominent Democrats (i.e. James Clyburn, Stacey Abrams, Hillary Clinton, Terry McAuliffe, Jesse Jackson, Jamie Raskin, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters, Shiela Jackson) have questioned election results for the past 23 years, since 2000, but have never, or rarely, been criticized for their denials.


Wouldn’t it be proper, fair, and honouring for your program to instead give unbiased consideration to the very real issues mentioned herein and below? What is accomplished in the long term for the nation when presenting only one side of a story instead of providing a balanced perspective?


3) It is recognized that Biden is the most pro-union President ever… solely because he is “in the pocket” of the UAW. Shouldn’t any President be pro-worker rather than pro-union? Virtually all union gains are ultimately made at the expense of less advantaged non-union workers.


Randall F. More, P. Eng.




NOTES:
1) Of voters who were surveyed shortly after the 2020 election, 17%, virtually all of whom are Democrats, indicated that they would NOT have voted for Biden if they had known about the shenanigans of Hunter Biden which Main Street Media chose to ignore, which otherwise would have resulted in a different outcome. If not election fraud, is it not effectively media fraud… all coupled with FBI, Biden, and White House interference… all of which is subversive and threatening to democracy?


2) Five major polls were taken between 5 and 18 months following the 2020 election with 61% to 79% of Republicans believing that election fraud occurred.


3) Thanks to Elon Musk, it is confirmed that the high tech social media giant, Twitter, and others, were, just as suspected, squelching and suppressing truth and free speech, far more than pertaining just to Hunter Biden.


4) It is now known that 51 intelligence officials signed a document which they knew was a lie in order to support Biden.


5) The courts would not entertain the notion of election fraud primarily because they were not prepared to adjudicate such a highly politically charged issue.


6) AG Barr stated that there wasn’t enough fraud to overturn the election. Whether true or not is largely irrelevant because, if there was significant election fraud, it should nevertheless have been investigated… even if not sufficient to overturn the election.


7) What many do NOT seem to realize is that there are enough voters who believe that there was some form of 2020 election fraud and, regardless of whether true or not, until it is fully investigated, the system is not trustworthy and that should be a concern to all Americans.

Blessing Others - by Randall F. More

 

Blessing Others 

 The customer asked the vendor, “For how much are you selling the eggs?”

 The old seller replied, “$0.25 an egg, Madam.” She said to him, “I will take 6 eggs for $1.25 or I will leave.” The old seller replied, “Come take them at the price that you want. Maybe, this is a good beginning because I have not been able to sell even a single egg today.” She took the eggs and walked away feeling she had won. She got into her fancy car and went to a posh restaurant with her friend.

There, she, and her friend, ordered whatever they liked. They ate a little and left a lot of what they ordered. Then she went to pay the bill. The bill was $45.00. She gave $50.00 and asked the owner of the restaurant to keep the change. This incident might have seemed quite normal to the owner but, very painful to the poor egg seller. Why do we often show that we have the power when we buy from the needy ones? Why do we get generous to those who do not even need our generosity?

The story teller noted that his father used to buy simple goods from poor people at high prices, even though he did not need them. Sometimes he even used to pay extra for them. The story teller got concerned by this act and asked his father why he does so? His father replied, "It is a charity wrapped with dignity, son."

------------------------------------------------------

In recent years, in similar ways, each of my kids (and my wife always), through things that they have said and done, have been a big encouragement to me to be a more generous giver…  just as they each are. Examples would be to hairdressers, restaurant servers, house cleaners, dog groomers, trades people.

As one of my kids recently said, “Dad, you have most of everything that you will ever need and have the resources that you will ever need. So many others are struggling just to survive.” It is always great when one can learn from his kids! My kids are wise. One of my kids keeps gift certificates in the car to give to the needy on the streets. 

This is just one small aspect of giving, but, if able, I am trying to be more encouraged and careful not to rob myself, and God, of His and my own opportunities to bless others. 

The story reminds me of our own family time in Mexico 28 years ago, while at a road-side stand, spending 20 minutes for the purpose of buying a beautiful, colourful, hand-crafted blanket for $4, instead of $8 that the vendor requested. Admittedly, I do enjoy the fun and challenge of negotiating but that shouldn’t really be the objective. I came to realize, after paying $4, that I should have probably just offered $20 or something more reasonable, more like its real value. I still regularly use that beautiful, colourful, hand-crafted blanket and it is always a reminder of what one of the real objectives in life should be.
