As far as his horrific health statistics, he referenced Casey Means -- if you haven't listened to Tucker Carlson's interview with her, do it. It's long, but it's worth every minute.
I was actually surprised to find that I wrote about this way back in February!

Switching gears, Kennedy surprised me by bringing up Tucker Carlson and his 40-minute interview with Calley Means, during which the pair discussed Big Pharma’s stranglehold on Americans and the media. Kennedy claimed that this ‘poisoning of America’ has led to a massive increase in chronic illness in the country — chronic illness that means big money for Big Pharma. (Example: RFK Jr. states that in his generation, 1 in 10,000 people had severe autism, a number that’s 1 in 34 today.)
I don't think a candidate can semi-withdraw from a race. My take is he is now completely out of the race. He may stay in the ballot in select states to take the democratic votes to help Trump. That would make sense.
In any case, his support of Trump will help to move some reluctant democrats to vote for Trump, holding their noses of course! This would be a win for Trump.
I was just about ready to vote for RFK because I can't stand the other two "normal" parties. If these guys win, we still get what's his face as VP (not to my liking in the least). If RFK is to make any meaningful contribution to the slowing down of the fascist globalist dem destruction machine, he will need a major cabinet position and that will take senate approval. There may be too many demonrats and RINOs hating Trump and RFK to make it work.
Ironically, I missed this as we were attending a Celebration of Life for our best fried we’ve made here… a larger than life 63 year old … I will encapsulate that I think his doctors COVID boostering him while taking chemo destroyed his immune system.. ?? We had lively debates,,, he a life long Democrat but being an entrepreneur , he came to acknowledge that Obama and Biden through endless minutiae regulations made it more difficult for their franchise restaurants to be worthwhile profitable…I sent my “ kids” Bobby’s speech and said “ this is your chance to live a healthier , less stressful life.”,
What Kennedy really was relaying is that the people of this country, and therefore the country as a whole, have sub'd out their desire for self improvement to the state.
That means the state and its "services" to the citizens, is not to encourage the people to improve, but to maladapt so they are more reliant on the government.
And that is why we are WEAK.
Best speech I've seen since a few of Reagans. A true patriot.
I agree, Ryan. I’ve heard he’s removing himself from swing states. He will stay on ballots in states Trump would never win anyway & thus, siphon @ least some votes from Kackala. IDK if that’s true but we’ll see where he stays & goes
Nah, AG Garland has issued a statement warning that anyone who tries to contest the winner in November will be ha died the way J6 ers were…… thuggery already afoot….
Only thing I’d say about that is they (politicians, globalists, elites, cabalists ad nauseum) don’t seem to care anymore about hiding anything & actually enjoy flaunting it
RFK Jr almost endorsed Donald Trump today. But didn't. He held a bait and switch press conference to announce he ISN'T ending his campaign.
All cameras were on him after he teased an endorsement for two days. But He's "not ending his campaign, only suspending it," he advises, while adding (paraphrasing), "My name is still on the ballot in most states. You can still vote for me. It won't hurt Trump or Biden."
That's NOT an endorsement of any kind. It's a campaign speech highlighting RFK Jr's unique attention-getting style. He didn't "throw his support to Trump." He held onto it while getting publicity at Trump's expense.
I think RFK qualified his endorsement very well…. Read the part about Lincoln’s cabinet. And I think Trump is going to admit, he got COVID wrong. Make America Healthy Again… who is going to argue that?
I could not seriously cast a vote for him in the Presidential. He's still a Dem at heart, albeit 'old school'. But no matter his politics, the man has some integrity and common sense.
What I liked most about his speech was the reference to Lincoln forming a cabinet of men that he disagreed with, and having multiple private and public arguments with them. I’d rather vote for the party that argues with itself than the party that agrees with everything the party says.
The Democrat Party and/or the Republican Party in charge of all three branches of government will be the absolute end of democracy.
Outstanding speech and quite brave in the face of very, very serious opposition. Courage. He's also a walking billboard for health and fitness and given the best position to make a difference where it matters he will be held in ever higher regard. Bravo and Godspeed to this newly invigorated infusion of hope.
In the real world I try to inhabit as much as is rationally possible, one can be almost entirely a batshit-crazy dilettante princeling *and* be attacked for trying to expose a few actual horrors of government malfeasance.
The enemy of my enemy might not necessarily therefore be someone I'd ever want as a friend. But he might serve a useful purpose in a limited way.
Having had my writing skills forged in the smelter of flash fiction, where I discovered I was really writing novels within the 1000-word-limit format, I see every comment as the chance to write a political treatise, compressed to diamond potential.
I know I've said this a million times before, but I feel like this is something that libertarians just 'get' because that's how we have to build alliances. (One issue at a time)
If only the Libertarians where I live now had the energy and genuine threat-to-the-establishment-ness of, you know, Wendigos. Then I could really get behind them, or beside them, or fling myself onto their bosoms, etc.
I’ve never loathed anyone “on sight”……for the most part, the Substacks to which I subscribe , people are rather civil about agreeing to disagree…. If you are half as witty, sarcastic and insightful as you are here, I’d be laughing my head off!
My bad! Comments should now correctly be open for everyone.

Yup, I live in Colorado, I’m voting for RFK!

Paul Ryan needs to be bound and gagged… he is the biggest anti Trumper working behind the lines… Romney, Mcconnell
It's disgraceful how our political system has degraded.

Won't make much difference. Kamala still wins.
Let’s see after the debate… although AG Garland already threatening to prosecute anyone who contests the election outcome….
I really hope that the majority of the electorate will be able to see thru this female Gavin Newsome.
💯

I heard the same thing, after he spoke at trumps rally.
Yeah I think his speech today may have raised the cheating bar so high that even the Marxist can't overcome without being obvious.
Nah, AG Garland has issued a statement warning that anyone who tries to contest the winner in November will be ha died the way J6 ers were…… thuggery already afoot….
I said "may have"....:)
I hope your right RG
Taibbi and Kirn tonight posited that Jr’s courage as a “whistleblower” here might just give cover to other Dems to come forward with revelations.
First one on the dance floor to get the party going.

He confirmed my very low opinion of him.

He didn't "throw his support to Trump." He held onto it while getting publicity at Trump's expense.”
A major part of the publicity was at Trumps’ invitation, not Trumps expense.
Both Trump and Kennedy have agreed to work with each other for the benefit of the people VS the benefit of party.

Much more impressed with this than Kamala's speech last night - but that's not surprising considering each candidate's history.
Not surprising, konsidering Kackala Kneepads Harris vs. Kennedy

I’m starting a mental list of Substack I’d like to meet IRL. You’re at the top…
Don't I wish it could happen. But what if it did and you loathed me on sight?
I’ve never loathed anyone “on sight”……for the most part, the Substacks to which I subscribe , people are rather civil about agreeing to disagree…. If you are half as witty, sarcastic and insightful as you are here, I’d be laughing my head off!
I could sure use your presence right now. I'm mending a torn backpack strap for my kid and this is the needlework art at which I am least capable.
Watching them wither in the face of covid was like watching your dad take off the santa suit on Christmas eve.
