Break Out the Chianti!

 


Friends, we here at WaddyIsRight wish to convey our hearty congratulations to the Italian "far-right", which has won that country's general election.  The scale of the victory is still being determined, but the fact that the right-wing coalition has prevailed can no longer be denied.  How sweeping a political sea change this will be for Italy is unclear.  Giorgia Meloni, the probable new P.M., has been called a "fascist", but she has also moderated her rhetoric enormously in the last few months.  Italy's freedom of action is also strictly limited by its economic weakness and by its dependence on EU handouts.  Ergo, we right-wing extremists might want to temper our expectations, but there's no question that Italy now has a golden opportunity to renounce socialism, Eurocracy, and open borders.  Good luck, Giorgia, and good luck, Italians!

In other news, Liz Cheney is promising she'll leave the GOP if Donald Trump is the party's presidential candidate in 2024.  Yet another reason to support Trump!  Can we get that in writing, Liz?

Finally, there are a lot of polls out there predicting the outcome of the midterms, but suffice it to say that these polls, in the aggregate, are once again taking a turn in the Republican direction.  Today's ABC News/Washington Post poll, in particular, makes for depressing reading for Dems and lefties.  Enjoy!

  1. Dr.Waddy from Jack: Washington Post: "Well I wot, this rotting rag, is wont to draw more from its deceitful bag!" If its running out of even halfway passable untruth then we must rejoice and take heart. Maybe they are bracing for a hard morning after.

  2. Jack, there may be truth in that. Some Dems, it appears, suspect that there really is a Red Wave a-comin', and they don't wish to be caught unawares. They'll have their excuses ready to hand, plus a scapegoat: Sleepy Joe.
