Editor,

John Marty has written an intelligent letter (1/6/25), and, as a life-long Democrat, I agree with almost all of the points that he makes.

Folks, as Yogi Berra once said, “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Here we go again with Mr. Kristofferson writing 200+ words to attack “pro-Trump partisans” who don’t agree with his unsupported stances whilst attempting to lecture us on how an LTE should be written. Hey Mr. Kristofferson, why don’t you submit an LTE that is unbiased and encompasses both sides? This one is lacking in both.

It would be constructive to spend your 200+ or however many words to explain why you and fellow Democrats continue to support Democrats who prioritize criminals and terrorists over American citizens? Or why you and fellow Democrats don’t call out or stop voting for Democrats who celebrate a political assassination. Or why you and fellow Democrats support biological males competing against biological females. Everyone on the left is afraid to defend these Democrats but I have confidence you’ll have the courage to step up. Or will you let me and our dear readers down? BTW, if you don’t want to see identical harangues day after day after day after day, then please convince folks to stop with their easily debunked fake news and lies against our (yes, our) great President Trump. Have a Trump-tastic day!

You didn’t seem to understand much of Mr. Kristofferson’s letter, did you, MissTY?

No, he doesn’t, Jorg, nor is anyone surprised by his response above. Note how he claims that I support positions which I don’t and never have. He routinely twists facts on other issues as well. Why waste time trying to have a conversation with someone who is only interested in scoring debating points for their “infallible” side by any means possible?

People who never admit that they are wrong are dangerous. TY will never admit that Trump has or will make a mistake, even if the current trend in international bullying leads to war. The Trump administration is actively threatening Venezuela, Columbia, Mexico, Cuba, Greenland, and now Iran, not to mention allies such as Denmark and Canada. In addition, its boorish behavior is causing our country to be perceived as an aggressor nation instead of the country that saved the world from fascism in WWII. We now have “Young Republicans” in the MAGA movement praising Hitler!!

People easily recognize propaganda, and, unfortunately for the SMDJ online comments section, that’s why one often sees articles with comments only from a handful of the same Trump fanatics. Others just don’t want to give them the time of day. TY thinks it is because of his side’s ironclad logic as I mention above. In truth, it is because the Trump side models its behavior after the person at the top. The American people are very rapidly getting fed up with that attitude, and it will come back to bite MAGA in the 2026 elections.

TY will undoubtedly have the last word in this discussion as he always does, but my last word will be SILENCE. Jorg, please don’t waste further time on this guy and his like. Instead, just be sure to vote. They think their voluminous writings are changing minds, but they are only creating more opposition 🤣!

David, you are absolutely correct to best answer TY is silence. I gave up replying to TY well over a year ago to my utter relief. The daily "Trump is great, Democrats bad" diatribes have lost heir luster long ago. The old bromide of "there are none so blind as those who refuse to see" applies here.

Folks, you’re witness to a local version of a talk show – The Myopic View. Allow me to introduce the current co-hosts…

We have, Jorg, who doesn’t understand the concepts of the Second Amendment or the Electoral College, or the definitions of “assault weapon” or “insurrection” or “incendiary” or “credit” to name a few, yet Jorg is accusing others of not understanding. Hilarious. Perhaps Jorg can explain DavidK’s letter because from what we read, DavidK is again playing the victim and adding nothing of substance to any meaningful conversation. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Then we have DavidK (if that's who he really is) who has a habit of implying I will have the last word and yet, DavidK never seems to fail to add his last word after my supposed “last word.” While of course, repeating that I’ll have the last word. Hilarious. Here we have DavidK penning 300+ words to bellyache and distract from his inability to defend his stances. Hey DavidK, if your last word is going to be SILENCE, don’t talk about it. As Nike implores us, “Just Do It.” I wouldn’t blame you since things haven’t worked out well for you in the past. Have a Trump-tastic day!

Finally, we have Rel weighing in. This is the Rel who still tries to blame our (yes, our) great President Trump for the 1/6 riot which occurred due to Pelosi’s admitted dereliction of duty to protect the Capitol. Hilarious. If Rel perpetually lies about that event then what else is he willing to lie about? It’d be nice if Rel contributed something useful to a conversation and educated us on why Democrats support criminals and terrorists more than the American people. TBH, I had no idea Rel stopped replying to me. I don’t blame him since things haven’t worked out too well for him in the past. MAGA!

I imagine the three of them around a Mercator map inlaid coffee table (to honor Jorg’s flat earth) with their choice of drinks and blocks of Roquefort and Gorgonzola (but no BabyBels). As they’re enjoying their drinks and cutting the cheese, there is likely a discussion on why their favorite on-line presence, ME, continues living rent-free in their heads. Little do they realize feeble personal attacks have no effect and in fact, highlight their ineptitude in furthering important conversations. As to another occupant living rent-free in their heads, remember when Democrats bellyached about Trump giving Argentina a $20 billion line of credit? Well, guess what? Argentina repaid in full what they drew, netting a profit for the US. Trump was right again!

Sadly, as our dear readers can conclude, the opinions of these three, combined, are not worth two cents. They have nothing of value to say – typical when their houses of cards are easily blown over. To borrow from FFGig (who we have heard from recently so I assume he’s okay), “End of discussion. Next.” If they want it to be. A word of advice, they want it to be. BTW, I wonder if it would make any of them feel better if I sent them a “Happy Trump” lapel pin?

MissTY! I know how hard it has been for you to understand the 2nd and EC. However, both concepts are thoroughly explained in my new book INSIGHTS, available through Amazon. A law school professor I don’t know, called me out of the blue and said that my 2nd explanation was so clear that he was using it for his graduate students.
