Friends, lefties are increasingly giddy as it appears that former President Donald Trump is about to be indicted for...misreporting something in his business records, i.e. concealing a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels, porn star. The quality of the case against Trump does not appear to concern the Left. On the contrary, any and every opportunity to harass Trump legally, politically, and personally is apparently to be taken up in an all-hands-on-deck approach to defusing the threat he poses to "democracy". The ultimate consequences of any such indictment are obscure, at this early stage, but the massive significance of pursuing criminal charges against a former (and possibly a future) president are undeniable. Is any of this fazing potential Republican primary voters? There's little evidence of that. Quite the contrary: the GOP base seems to be rallying around Trump, the more the Democrats and their accomplices in the "justice" system target him. And, perhaps, that's what the lefties are after. Perhaps, as usual, they want to divide the nation into pro- and anti-Trump camps, on the theory that this will make it easier to distract Americans from the failures of the Biden Administration, and the obvious flaws of Joe Biden as a candidate for reelection. In other words, they want to ride the TDS train one more time. And it just might work, too!
Despite all the talk about a looming recession, and the much higher interest rates with which home buyers have had to contend, only last month did home prices start to decline. That is to say, the housing market has been stubbornly favorable to sellers, and hostile for buyers, for years now, and meanwhile inventories remain remarkably low. In other words, if some reckoning is coming, and the bottom is going to fall out of housing prices, it's taking an awfully long time for this reversal to materialize. Of course, that doesn't mean it can't or won't happen...someday.

Lastly, what happens when a white person tells other white people to stay away from black people, because of their racial hostility to whites? He gets blackballed, ostracized, and "cancelled" -- big time! What happens when a white person tells black people to stay away from white people, because of their racial hostility to black people? She gets lionized, is showered with grants, contracts, and interviews, and our political, economic, and cultural elite comes to regard her as a leading voice in the battle for "social justice". Very even-handed, right?
Dr.Waddy from Jack: It could be that mobilizing Trump America will distract his supporters from paying attention to Biden. But Trump saved us from Hillary and his attraction for such as I is that he slams his thumb smack in the leftist eye. And hell, I like the guy; he's an hombre! Many of his apparently self destructive àntics may endear him to more people than they repel; he's no phoney.Perhaps many who loathe Pino Biden do not perceive that he is sheepishly directed by a far left coterie which poses an existential threat to all we cherish but nevertheless they know they dont' like what Biden says and does and they sure don't like the wokeists he's brought into control over us. And they know President Trump says what they want to say to him.
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: You support your misgivings about Trump well; they may well be realized. But Trump may have another miracle left. If its DeSantis instead, that's fine because he's just as feisty and faithful as Trump. I really wish those two would team up. It would only be a four year wait for DeSantis. If they did, twelve years of redemption could happen.
ReplyDeleteJack, I wouldn't bet on a Trump-DeSantis ticket, but I wouldn't find it jaw-dropping either. It's especially likely if DeSantis decides only to hit Trump above the waist (so to speak). Trump can overlook a lot, when it's in his interests to do so. He's proven that on many occasions.
