#politics #unitedstates #NobelPrize BRICS News posts on X that former president Donald Trump agreed to debate Vice President Kamala Harris on: Fox News: 9/4 NBC News: 9/10 ABC News: 9/25 Harris has not yet agreed to the debates. The country wants the Dems out. It wants change. But the Republicans should not take the American people for granted. The electorate is now more than 50% independent, not registered with either political party. How can Republicans ensure they can win in November? 1. House Speaker Mike Johnson commonly emphasizes 7 principles: A. Faith and Family: Johnson believes in the centrality of faith and family as foundational elements of society. He emphasizes the importance of religious freedom and traditional family values. My comment: Separation of Church and State in the First Amendment still stands in the American Socratic legal tradition. B. The Sanctity of Human Life: He strongly supports the protection of life, particularly advocating against abortion and supporting pro-life policies. C. Limited Government: Johnson advocates for a smaller government with less intervention in the lives of individuals, believing that the government should perform only the functions necessary [which public economists of all political persuasions call pure public goods] to protect individual rights. My comment: George Washington's Rules of Civility #110 applied to politics in a representative democracy 'always vote your conscience in the greatest deliberative body, the US Congress, not your political party'. Civility in Congressional deliberations does not help when the real outcomes in real people's lives are uncivil. This is the culture change in Washington that is needed which former House speaker Kevin McCarthy of California talked about https://t.co/KEX49eO0s9. D. Individual Freedom: He emphasizes the protection of individual liberties as enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, particularly the freedoms of speech, religion, and the right to bear arms. My comment: The Second Amendment must be amended by the process laid out in the Constitution to greatly restrict gun rights to only sport hunting, including for law enforcement where the police can use other non-lethal devices to bring physically restrain subjects. E. Free Markets: Johnson supports free-market capitalism as the best economic system to promote prosperity and innovation. He opposes excessive regulation and government control over the economy. My comment: Government has important oversight responsibility to ensure corporations are run to succeed or fail on their own merits, no corporation is systemically important because it is considered too big to fail, there is no corporate welfare at the expense of General Welfare in the preamble of the Constitution, people are paid a fair and living wage to form households and raise families with affordable basics needs for zero relative poverty at all times independent of the business cycle, and money is not free speech.

#politics #unitedstates #NobelPrize F. Peace through Strength: He believes in maintaining a strong national defense to protect the country from external threats, advocating for a robust military and strategic alliances. My comment: Peace through Strength is in making war illegal under international law and a crime just as violent crime is under domestic national laws of all countries. Aggression by nations on each other would then be a law enforcement problem in a regime where all weapons, large and small - except sticks, stones, and kitchen knives and so on - are banned. H. The Rule of Law: Johnson stresses the importance of upholding the rule of law, including strict adherence to the Constitution and the enforcement of laws in a fair and just manner. My comment: Aufklärung rex non potest peccare The King Can Do No Wrong. Not in United States of America https://lnkd.in/eXZsXgcs. 2. Women want a woman president. Do not attack women. Hold up conservative women as examples such as @NikkiHaley @RepStefanik, and the example of the late Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O’ Connor. Ask them to campaign for you. 3. You only have Fox and Newsmax and @elonmusk's X. The Dems have the rest of the airwaves. You all must appeal to the independents and @RepublicansAga2 Republicans Against Donald Trump who can vote against you together with independents. 4. This is not @HillaryClinton calling MAGA “deplorables” to lose the election in 2016. @VP Harris is far more personable and appealing compared to @POTUS in debates and @realDonaldTrump. It could be like JFK v. Nixon debates. So, being presidential because Trump was once president already and Harris was never, and avoiding name calling helps. 5. Focus on the Trump shooting and the witch hunt. 6. Get @BrianKempGA Brian Kemp, Governor of Georgia, on your side. 7. Give reassurances that there will be no politics of revenge against @BillClinton @HillaryClinton @BarackObama @MichelleObama. I know how difficult it can be for @realDonaldTrump to forgive the Dems. They did this to me also in 2010. I neither forget or forgive. I put them where they must carry their cross to forgive themselves. I have no power to forgive anyone. 8. Talk about keeping #bidenomics IRA, BIL, and CHIPS by asking the Clinton wealthy BlackRock Larry Fink to invest to get them on your side as @SpeakerMcCarthy spoke at Economic Club of New York. 9. Blame the Dems for the ongoing wars and the chronic abuse of the U.S. dollar, which is why we are where we are. 10. To do list. https://lnkd.in/e2bUdt75.
