The Biggest Lie, The Greatest Truth
“Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.”
Update
The Biggest lie told by Trump during the debate with Kamala Harris is that America was energy independent during his regime. America has never been energy independent and the simple evidence of this is provided by the multitude of Citgo stations in America.
CITGO has 3,700 employees and is owned by CITGO Holding, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), the national oil company of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
Venezuela achieved its independence from Spain after Bolivar received aid from Haiti.? Initially defeated, Bolivar repaired to Haiti.
A Little History
The?people Trump denigrates with the lie of their eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, and that President Wilson of the US; the later President of Princeton, called “n*ggers speaking French,” had risen up and brought about the first successful revolt of slaves in the New World.
Toussaint L’Ouverture out-generaled and Haitian slaves outfought the forces of France, Spain and England. L'Ouverture was betrayed by the English, French and Americans. Haiti was never forgiven for its victory, its rise from slavery.
To shorten a long history, Toussaint L'Ouverture's troops defeated those of Napoleon at Vertieres:
Battle of Vertières in 1803
Haitian forces also fought at the Battle of Savannah and at Yorktown - along with Lafayette and Rochambeau.
More significantly, Napoleon needed funds to fight wars in Europe as well as the revolt in Haiti. The emperor raised funds by selling what became known as the Louisiana Purchase:

roughly a third of America, to Jefferson.
Simon Bolivar depended on a Haitian president, Alexandre Sabes Petion:
for the?money, arms, ammunition, resources, the logistics, to liberate much of South America.
These are the people that Trump and Vance have insulted, denigrated and reviled.
Back to the Future
The most dramatic lie is that the U.S. economy was “great” during the Trump regime. U.S. debt rose significantly at that time and now exceeds 125% of GDP, at +$34 trillion.
Our U.S. participation in global trade, the world’s largest business, is evidence of America’s global mediocrity. This mediocrity reflects the impact on education of America’s form of globalization, a globalization characterized by representation without taxation:
Trump will lose big on Nov. 5th, after his disastrous debate performance in Philadelphia. Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Harris sealed the deal, according to Thomas Miller’s prediction in Fortune Magazine.
My Comment: Based on past history, Trump and his acolytes will react violently against Democracy, when he loses as a result, just as they did on 6 January 2021.
So, call out the Marines to once again defend our Constitution and flag against all enemies - foreign and domestic:
Coming Attractions
As to the last go round, “Never send a boy to do a man’s job” and as displayed over the portal of the Seal’s training camp in Coronado, “Never bring a knife to gunfight.”
America has seldom been able to differentiate between those who revile and those who revere life.
