Behind the scenes, #reagan arranged to keep the Iranian hostages held, so that President #Carter would look weak and ineffectual. That gave Reagan an advantage and he won.
There's a parallel to how #trump is rumored to be in talks with #netanyahu to stop any deal regarding the Gaza Strip.
Don't let the propaganda and misinformation win, like it did in the 80s.
The gop will stop at no atrocity to hold power.

Evangelicals For Harris Use ‘False Prophet ‘ Bible Passage in Provocative New Ad Against Trump
Evangelicals For Harris is releasing their second media spot in as many weeks, this time using biblical text in 1 John 4 that mentions false prophets and how Christians are to, “test the spirits to see if they are from God.” The implication and context are pretty clear: they want Evangelicals to ask themselves if Trump fits the characteristics of a false prophet

“All politics is local.”

From school boards to city council, States Attorney General to Governor, and all elected positions in between…
Think globally, act locally.
Change happens from the ground up.

In the coverage of Trump's horrendous treatment of our American heroes that have won the Congressional Medal of Honor, I've not seen much mention that Joe Biden is the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom that orange chump said is a higher honor than the CMoH.
Biden's medal also came with an additional rare honor: The Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction. That additional designation has been bestowed to only three others: Pope John Paul II, Ronald Reagan and Colin Powell.
Conservative Endorses Harris
Retired federal appeals court Judge J. Michael Luttig, a prominent conservative legal scholar put on the bench by President George H.W. Bush, is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump, whose candidacy he describes as an existential threat to American democracy.

"Think about the courage it must have taken her mother to come to America at just 19, the sacrifices she must have made to create a life for herself and eventually for her daughters. If we did not welcome people who want to improve their lives, as well as contribute to our country and culture, we wouldn’t be just worse off—America wouldn’t be America."

They are sympathy terrorists, using the Democrats as a platform for #Hamas.
You'll never see a Pro #Palestine protest at a #Republican function.
They can't hijack the Republican party and boost their anti-Semitic narrative because the #KKK did that long ago.
None of the "protestors" at the Republican convention were given TV time.
