Friends, maybe you think you know how the Left stole the 2020 election, and how it thrust Sleepy Joe into a starring role in our political system -- a role for which he has proven utterly unfit. The fact is, though, that many of the underhanded ploys used by Dems, progressives, and their allies in the political, legal, cultural, and economic establishment to influence the outcome of the 2020 election are still shrouded in mystery, even to many conservatives. Check out these articles, which explain in detail how over $400 million of Mark Zuckerberg's money almost certainly tipped the scales for Biden and the Democrats. It's a complete outrage, and anyone who believes in democracy -- that is, rule by the people -- should be adamant that such chicanery will never be permitted again.
Rumors abound that the next James Bond may be black, or possibly female, or even black and female. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that Superman is now bisexual. What can I say, except that...times have changed!

Good news: the Department of Homeland Security won't be arresting illegal immigrant workers on the job site anymore. I mean, we wouldn't want them to feel unwelcome in this country, would we? Perish the thought!
The legislative/fiscal sausage-making re: the Dems' reconciliation bill is getting messy, as per normal. Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden seem happy with a figure closer to $2 trillion, instead of $3.5 trillion. Could Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema live with that number? Maybe. What I'm beginning to think may be the sticking point, though, is the progressive caucus in the House of Representatives. They feel betrayed by Manchin and Sinema's opposition to their massive "social spending" agenda. What's more, they don't need to worry about reelection. They're all from safe districts, in most of which the Republican Party barely exists. If enough of them decide, therefore, that tanking the reconciliation bill and the infrastructure bill would serve the Dem leadership right, and teach the party a lesson about the need to "swerve left or else", then the whole effort to push trillions in new spending through Congress could collapse. I hope it will. Our country's fiscal health demands that it do so. Just as important, if the Dems fail to pass these wretched bills, they will be widely perceived, and may even perceive themselves, as failures and as incapable of governance. Sounds about right to me.

Nick,
ReplyDeleteWhat's so surprising about "tampering" with elections. During the 2020 campaigning, and during the height of COVID-19, I personally talked to many people who believed that the DemoNISTAS would "tamper" with the elections, and that COVID-19 would provide a perfect cover to do so. Corona came along at just the right (no pun intended) time, didn't it? The DemoNISTAS were desperate, and it is not beyond any Leftist to play dirty, at any time. History show this at every turn.
In fact, even back in 2019 before the deluge, people expressed opinions that the DemoNISTAS would do anything to prevent a Trump victory. You know, challenging questionable elections after the fact is not very effective, is it? Bet you, the same crew will try the same things in 2022 and 2024.
So in order to save what is left (no pun intended) of our Constitutional Republic, maybe fighting fire with fire is in order as far as elections go. I hear lots of yapping in various states about protecting the polls in 2022 and 2024 but not enough action. Blue States are going to go Left anyway, no matter what.
As far as the current REGIME goes, Joe is a front man, in my opinion. Use your imaginations to figure that out. Clearly, and most of the time, whoever funds your campaign runs things.
Dr.Waddybfrom Jack: Re: the Federalist Article : "Free but not fair election"; its an intriguing, plausible principle worth much further investigation.The article and your endorsement will, I hope, have a seminal effect in favor of concern for this syndrome. The reflexive leftist response is, surely: " This is execrable screed, outside the parameters of creditable intellectual discourse ( ah but then again, lefties probably have no founding in intellectually sound give and take, having been indoctrinated against such elitist presumption in favor of "feelings") and offensive in the extreme and therefore to be execrated and its proponents denounced. Haarrumph!"
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy and Ray from Jack: I think it consummately common sense that the left pulled out all the stops ( with them that is not hard, they are radicals after all) and used "whatever means necessary" to turn President Trump out. Ok, they won temporarily, but their tenure is very much in doubt, in large part because of their overreach, ( eg. marionette Biden, token Kamalafornia, arrogant New Yawka Schumer and airy , aristocratic Pelosi) and by their abject fear of Trump and his insolent disdain for their undoubted wisdom! Trump struck the fear of God in them! He dared to doubt them and with unapologetic verve! That they cannot comprehend .They would and WILL, do anything to defeat him. He is Nemesis to them and invests them with the inescapable dread
ReplyDeletethat fiend exercised in antiquity. (Well, they didn't have us read The Greek Way in freshman year in 1965 for nuthin even though the leftist takeover was yet nigh).
Dr.Waddy from Jack: The Wisconsin account: further proof that the left will stop at nothing to establish its morally irrefutable totalitarian rule. How do real Americans prevent this?Can democratic opposition effectively combat this essentially, profoundly UNDEMOCRATIC, fanactically advanced, onslaught on everything we value? What compromises must we make to repel this existential threat? Let's decide soon because the enemy is at the gates!
ReplyDeleteRay, it's true that we saw the Dems' "tampering" coming from a mile away, as did Trump -- and yet he, as President of the United States, was utterly powerless to stop it. Well, not really powerless, but his advisors told him he was powerless, and he was dumb enough to believe it, so that was that. We should have been MUCH more active challenging the Dems' lawlessness in the courts, and we should have exposed Facebook's corruption of the election system every chance we got. Ultimate responsibility for this outrage rests with the Left and its supporters, but we bear responsibility too, for falling asleep at the switch.
ReplyDeleteJack, the Left wouldn't engage intellectually with claims like those in the Federalist article in the first place, as you know. It would shout "Big Lie!" and "Insurrection!" until it was blue in the face. That's its version of argumentation.
Jack, you should ponder the full horror of your own words. You say the Dems would "do anything to defeat [Trump]". He's now on the comeback trail. So what's their Plan B, when/if merely subverting the media and gaming the election system doesn't guarantee them victory in 2024? What norms will they violate next? What level of violence might they be willing to countenance?
As for the outright purchase of our election infrastructure, a la Facebook, it CAN be prevented by legislation -- that's supposing, of course, that laws are occasionally enforced... The truth is that the federal courts often defer to the states and allow them to decide how elections will be administered. Ergo, if we can capture the legislatures AND the governorships of many of the key states, we can decide on the electoral framework that will govern the 2024 contest. That would be a step in the right direction.
Nick,
DeleteI really hate to say this, but there are times when I wonder just how bad a Clinton Presidency may have been, compared to what we have now. Even Obama's Presidency was not as radical as what is going on now.
Dr.Waddy from Jack: Again,since I misplaced this jest in your previous post: I did not understand your " sausage making" metaphor until I saw this explanation: "you really don't want to know how it is made" . Justly said, well I wot! Reminds me of the story of T. Roosevelt having precipitately cast his plate ot breakfast sausage from White House window upon realizing what he had read in Upton Sinclair's muckraking account of its, ehh, delicate production. Imagine if he had hit the German Ambassador coming up the White House walk!
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: Well and rightly criticized! I did maintain that the left had pulled out "all the stops" in 2020. What then, you ask ,can surpass that? Perhaps nationwide coordinated true insurrection heralded by an unabashed promise that it is but a prelude to what would transpire if Trump wins. And who best to trumpet this? AOC!
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: Well said that many House radicals have safe seats in the disgracefully turned antiAmerican leftist rump. But that the House can be turned is supported by recent history and made hopeful by recent developments. We may never completely exile the radical left in our legislature but, in minority, let them bleat! Their preposterous protests would shine a telling light on their thoroughly discredited totalitarian intent!Eventually, they would resettle into the gutter which is their birthplace!
ReplyDeleteRay, I can't say that's something that I devote any thought to. I'm 99.9% sure that a world in which Hillary won in 2016 would be a far worse one than this. But hey -- I've been wrong before.
ReplyDeleteHmm. I hadn't thought of that, Jack. The Left could use civil unrest as a screen for their theft of the election. The problem is that the mayhem they can unleash will be mostly concentrated in deep blue areas. Ergo, they might end up suppressing their own vote.
True, we can easily win back the House. The progressives may not care much. Their sinecures are safe.
Dr.Waddy from Jack: Perhaps though, for true totalitarians, enough is never enough. As long as humanity tolerates imperfection, the perfectionist left, tormented by visions of attainable but unreached future consummate correctness, will continue to work its proven destructive madness and hang the consequences. Oh but then again, being perfect, their world would free of consequences and all foible!
