About Those Who Eat Others’ Pets in Ohio
For the full story about the ‘dog and cat eating’ lies many Republicans are gullible enough to believe, check out Professor Heather Cox Richardson’s comments dated September 13 at https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/ or JUST CLICK HERE. The story is pure fiction.
She documents historical precedent for the evils that DJ Vance and Donald Trump represent, and ties them to Republican efforts, often successful, to corrupt our system of courts and misuse the tools of government once they get their dirty hands on them.

Comment on the Debate
Enough has been said about former president and convicted felon Donald J. Trump’s pathetic performance in Tuesday’s presidential debate, so I will be very brief.
Trump was quickly set back on his heels once Kamala Harris strode across the platform to him, offered her hand and introduced herself to him during the debate’s first few seconds. He never recovered from that ‘invasion’ of his physical territory, and just devoted himself to making futile, often untrue, arguments.
Kamala Harris, on the other hand, while giving little attention to the questions to which she does not yet have very precise answers, nevertheless did so with a level of humor and cleverness that instilled the confidence and hope which the pathetic Donald Trump never approached.
But nothing is guaranteed in American politics. There are those out there who seriously believe Trump won the debate, won the 2020 election, and is the innocent victim of a legal system weaponized against him and will never, ever, renounce those weird beliefs.

A Strange Lady
I would not normally devote any space on Jackspotpourri to this subject, except that it has ‘local’ interest as indicated in the following paragraph. There has been mention in the media of efforts of what survives as the Republican Party’s legitimate campaign leadership to try to distant their presidential candidate from right-wing extremist, nut-job, Laura Loomer. It won’t work since Trump does what he wants to do and ignores advice. Some of her comments make Donald Trump’s seem sane. I leave it to you to seek them out if you want to know how despicable this person is. Could that be Trump’s way of saying, ‘See, I’m not so bad. Look at what she says’?
Incidental to this, for Floridians, is the fact that back in 2020, Loomer ran for Congress in my Congressional district (FL 21) where both Donald Trump and I live. At that time, she lost to the incumbent, Lois Frankel (61% to 39%), but still received about 157,000 votes in doing so. (The percentages were about the same in 2022 when the G.O.P. ran someone else, who is also their 2024 candidate against Representative Frankel.)
That very significant number illustrates the large number of voters who accept her lies, and will continue to accept them, including Donald Trump, his horrible performance in the debate notwithstanding.
The First Amendment protects the likes of people like Loomer, although they can be individually sued for acts of libel or slander by those damaged by her words, but this affords them publicity, win or lose in court, so it doesn’t happen often.

Trump Often Says Things Wrongly
Donald J. Trump prefers adverbs to adjectives. He seems to think they make him sound more intelligent by turning an adjective into an adverb, giving it more power, relating to an action rather than just sitting there being descriptive, modifying a noun.
For example, rather than simply describe something as being ‘huge,’ he would use the word ‘hugely,’ describing it as being accomplished in that manner.’ He was quoted as hoping to win the 2016 election ‘bigly,’ althogh some think he meant ‘big league,’ or didn’t quite know the difference.
Whatever he is trying to communicate, he usually does it wrongly and openly. Listen for this kind of stuff.

Forwarding Postings: Please forward this posting to anyone you think might benefit from reading it (Friends, relatives, enemies, etc.) If you want to send someone the blog, you can just tell them to check it out by visiting https://jackspotpourri.blogspot.com or you can provide a link to that address in your email to them.
There’s another, perhaps easier, method of forwarding it though!
Google Blogspot, the platform on which Jackspotpourri is prepared, makes that possible. If you click on the tiny envelope with the arrow at the bottom of every posting, you will have the opportunity to list up to ten email addresses to which that blog posting will be forwarded, along with a brief comment from you. Each will receive a link to click on that will directly connect them to the blog.
Either way will work, sending them the link to https://jackspotpourri.blogspot.com, or clicking on the envelope at the bottom of this posting.
Strange ‘Hits’: The large number of those accessing Jackspotpouri from Singapore and Hong Kong has somewhat lessened. I suspect that the Chinese are playing around with internet transmissions, possibly to try to identify who is reading them.
Email Alerts: If you are NOT receiving emails from me alerting you each time there is a new posting on Jackspotpourri, just send me your email address and we’ll see that you do. And if you are forwarding a posting to someone, you might suggest that they do the same, so they will be similarly alerted.
