THT, sounded like a pretty simple question to answer.    Why so defensive? 

"The reality is the sport keeps contracting. It needs to keep doing that to exist. There are not enough horses to go around. A huge shortages of quality horses."

I would think the best place to look for proof of a contraction would be at the fall yearling sales.   What are the numbers at the big 3 over the last few years?      Lexington, Harrisburg and London

FYI, many innocent people died (including military people of all countries), and innocent bystanders.

Billions of dollars spent needlessly!  We're actually in worse shape that we were before it started!

BIG OIL laughed at Donald Trump about lowering prices on gasoline!

There is a housing bill that both parties worked very hard on to make the country a better place (a rarity in today's political world).  What does Trump do?  He openly and blatantly refused to sign it until he gets 'His SAVE ACT' passed!  SAVE has been dead in the water for quite some time!  This clearly shows Trump has ZERO compassion and empathy for anyone but himself! 

And you want America to embrace and AID Trump?  Everything is too polarized today because of Trump!

Please don't forget how many the US military died in this 'Iran War''! These people are dead and you cannot dispute this in any way, shape, and form!

President Donald Trump frequently uses "communism" as a rhetorical weapon against progressive and democratic socialist politicians , particularly targeting New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his endorsed candidates. Trump argues that their policies will bring financial ruin and "death and destruction" to American cities.

Rhetoric on Democratic Socialism
Trump consistently conflates democratic socialism with communism. Following major primary election wins by Mamdani-backed progressive candidates (including Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, and Brad Lander), Trump took to Truth Social to warn that "America the Beautiful will NEVER be a Communist Country!!!". He frequently argues that the Democratic Party has moved too far left and that their platform is a direct path to a command economy, comparing the movement to historical authoritarian regimes.

Stances on City Leadership
In his ongoing political feud with Mayor Mamdani, Trump has repeatedly called him a "communist" and blamed his leadership and progressive platform—such as his vows to block ICE enforcement—for driving cities like New York into "squalor, and crime". Trump has indicated that a communist candidate controlling NYC would likely result in the cessation of federal funding for the city .

Official Policies and Proclamations
Beyond campaign rhetoric, Trump has embedded anti-communism into his official administration policy. He officially proclaimed November 2 through November 8 as "Anti-Communism Week," officially condemning the doctrine as an "evil" ideology that must be placed on the "ash heap of history" .

Rocky, next time you see JMac just give him a swift kick in his tw@t!
