J.F.K. Jr dropped out of the presidential race two days ago and endorsed Trump. Well. Sort of. What he did, exactly, was drop out of 10 battleground states where he thought his campaign would hurt Trump. He’s continuing to run in the other 40 states that are either safe Republican or safe Democrat and so his campaign won’t matter either way.
Kennedy is big-mad at the Democratic Party Machine that hid Biden’s failing mental and physical state (although how anyone could not know about that is beyond me), and then coronated Harris without so much as a single vote being cast. He’s also deeply unhappy about the censorship that kept him from getting his message out to voters, particularly by the legacy media which refused to interview him, except for Fox News.
But Kennedy’s biggest issues are the War in Ukraine, which he wants to end, and an epidemic of chronic illnesses among children in the United States. He says that 60% of children in the US have chronic illnesses, up from 6% when John F. Kennedy was president in the 1960’s. J.F.K speaks to several factors that are causing the chronic illnesses — environmental pollution and bad stuff in our food supply, to name two — but he mostly lays the blame at the feet of Washington bureaucrats who he claims are allowing this to happen. Specifically, he names the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and National Institute of Health (NIH) who are apparently in the deep pockets of the pharmaceutical industry that only wants to push drugs to manage critical illnesses.
Kennedy states unequivocally that he is not seeking a position in a Trump administration, but he is aligned with Donald Trump on these two issues. He also states that he and Trump will continue to criticize one another on issues where they do not agree.
Social media is loud with how Kennedy just handed Trump the win. Maybe. But I have cynical doubts about how this election is going to go down.
Meanwhile, the honeymoon phase with Harris seems to be running out. Even the legacy media is beginning to realize that she’s all flash and no substance. There’s still no actual platform from her campaign — its all still Biden — and the little bit she has said sounds an awful lot like failed communist economic policies to me.
Anyway, California is probably the safest Democratic stronghold, so Kennedy is still going to be a voting option for me. Still a long way to go to the election. Still don’t quite know how I’m going to vote. But I do wish the Harris campaign would stop spamming me for money. I hadn’t looked at my email in a couple of days and so today I found 240 unread messages. About 20% were from Harris/Walz/Obama begging for money. I tried unsubscribing but probably that’s just going to get them to double down on the spam. Assholes. This election can’t come fast enough if only so that I reduce that clutter in my email.
