Hasta La Vista, GOP!

 


Friends, this week's Newsmaker Show with me and Brian O'Neil covers all the bases.  In terms of current events, Brian and I discuss the ramifications of the passage of the much-ballyhooed "infrastructure bill" (yawn!), Prince Harry's one-man crusade against "misinformation" (double yawn!), the sham "climate conference" that recently concluded in Glasgow, the Wyoming GOP's expulsion of Liz Cheney, and the never-ending story of Bidenist/Dem deterioration in the polls.  My my!  That's a lot of top-grade analysis!


When we turn to This Day in History, Brian and I talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger's stint as California Governor, followed by his estrangement from the GOP during the Trump era; the "Velvet Revolution" in Czechoslovakia in 1989 and the incredibly rapid disintegration of Eastern European communism; and the phony leftist narrative of the cruelty of U.S. forces fighting in Vietnam and, later, Iraq.  There is, I declare, no moral equivalency between the American military and the forces of America's enemies, like Al Qaeda and the Viet Cong.


All in all, it's a great show.  The only thing missing is...you!

In other news, doubts about Sleepy Joe's physical and mental fitness are going mainstream.  Yikes!  This is not good for the alleged President of these United States...  The problem for the Dems, of course, is that their backup Prez, i.e. Kam Kam, is no better!

And, as you see here, Fox News is handicapping some key Governor's races in 2022.  Republican opportunities for pickups abound!

When Even Fake News Can't Conceal the Truth

 


Friends, we all know that the mainstream media doesn't care a whit for objectivity or truth.  They serve "the narrative", which means...whatever narrative advances the interests of the Democratic Party and the agenda of progressivism.  No wonder that public trust in the media is reaching all-time lows.  What's amazing, though, is that, these days, even the MSM is piling criticism on poor Joe Biden and the Democrats -- at long last!  What's more, media polls, which tend, as we are all painfully aware, to overstate support for Democrats and under-report support for Republicans, are showing a massive decline in support for the Biden Administration and Congressional Democrats.  The latest ABC/Washington Post poll is a case in point.  Among "registered voters", it's got Republicans a whopping ten points ahead on the "generic ballot" question for 2022.  Among likely voters, the numbers would be even more alarming for the Dems.  The upshot here is that the Dems are already in a deep, deep hole, which the GOP win in Virginia, and near win in New Jersey, signified two weeks ago.  The question is: how will Democrats react?  Will they double down on their ambitious, expensive, "woke" agenda in Congress?  Or will "moderate" Dems start looking for the ideological exits, i.e. will they look for ways to differentiate themselves from a Democratic "brand" that is clearly tanking?  If I were a dastardly Dem, my greatest fear would be a deterioration in the economy between now and November 2022 -- which in my view is likely -- because that would make a bad situation for lefties even worse.  Sobering, no?  Well, it would be if you were a Biden backer, which thankfully you're not!

P.S. You gotta love how the WaPo begins its article: with a phony declaration that the public supports Biden's plans, including the reconciliation bill.  That all depends on how you ask the question!  Duh.

Governors in the Crosshairs

 


Friends, I know you're all excited about the 2022 midterm elections, when we have a chance to retake the House and Senate.  We also, however, have the opportunity to pick up a lot of Governorships in purple states.  And that could in turn prove decisive in 2024, because GOP Governors (and Secretaries of State and Attorneys-General) will be in a position to prevent the kind of electoral abuses that marred the 2020 election.

Consumer sentiment is really getting hammered by inflation worries, and bad consumer sentiment is one of the most telling harbingers of a recession.  In other words, now might be the ideal time to liquidate some of your investments and batten down the hatches!

The January 6th boosters are still at it, trying to foster a narrative that condemns all Trumpers and Republicans as "insurrectionists".  Their latest tactic is the pursuit of federal charges against Steve Bannon.  This was entirely predictable.  You know, it's funny -- Eric Holder, Obama's Attorney General, was never charged criminally when he was cited for contempt of Congress.  It's almost like there's a...double standard?

Finally, this year's climate summit in Glasgow is breaking all records...for boosting carbon emissions!  Bravo!  If increasing emissions is the path to lowering emissions, as the Chinese seem to believe, then the climate doomsayers in Scotland are definitely part of the solution.  And, if you believe that, I've got some beachfront property in Kansas to sell you.

The Eleventh Hour

 


We here at WaddyIsRight wish all veterans, and their loved ones, a Happy Veterans Day!  We honor your sacrifices and appreciate your service to the red, white, and blue!  We express, furthermore, our heartfelt wish that the armed services will forever remain patriotic, courageous, and honorable...and that they will never succumb to wokeism, Marxism, or cancel culture.

In other news, the question that everyone keeps asking re: "President" Biden's approval rating is...how low can he go?  So far, the low bid is 36%, but I have a feeling we'll see an even more pathetic number surface in the days and weeks ahead.  Stay tuned!

It turns out that, at least in Canada, "climate change" is now a medical condition, and presumably it could also therefore be a "cause of death".  Now, it's technically true that the effects of climate change could lead someone, somewhere, to get sick and/or die, but wouldn't it be equally accurate to say that their condition, or cause of death, was "the sun" or maybe "biology" or "dumb choices".  Hey, we all know where this is headed.  Sooner or later, a death certificate will list "Trump" as the cause of death.  And lefties will nod their approval -- blinkered lemmings that they are.

Finally, don't buy into the Dems' spin on the "reconciliation bill".  They say they've sliced its cost in half to (a mere) $1.75 trillion.  Objective analyses, however, say that its true cost is way higher.  The Dems are counting on Americans' legendary susceptibility to "fuzzy math" to get their spendthrift bill passed.  Don't fall into their trap!

Russia, Russia, Russia!

 


Friends, this week's Newsmaker Show with me and Brian O'Neil might just be the best of all time -- and that's a high standard, as you know!  Brian and I cover some weighty topics, including the political future of Joe Manchin, the derisory standing of national Democrats in the polls (even "fake" media polls!), and the unexpected escalation of the Durham inquiry into the Trump-Russia hoax and its perpetrators. 


When we turn to This Day in History, Brian and I cover war remembrance and the rise of pacifism in the last century, with profound implications for the effectiveness of strategies of deterrence.  We also talk about the German invasion of Vichy France in 1942, the seeming impossibility of winding down ANY governmental program or agency, and George W. Bush's challenge to the U.N. in November 2001.  He demanded that the countries of the world make battling terrorism their number one priority -- a point of view that seems downright quaint nowadays!


Whew!  This analysis is HOT HOT HOT!  Don't miss a second of it.

In other news, a major Wall Street firm is now judging its executives based on their attainment of numerical quotas for the hiring and promotion of women and minorities -- and the hiring of white men is apparently so presumptively offensive that managers require special permission to do so.  Seems like now might be the time to remind these people about the Civil Rights Act of 1964!

Inflation is heating up!  What's worse, for the Dems, is the real possibility that Joe Manchin will use inflation as a pretext to tank their ambitious reconciliation bill.  That would be a silver lining to our economic plight, no?

Hate crimes sure are hateful!  I'm sure we all agree on that.  What we don't seem able to agree on is whether "hate" is the exclusive preserve of white people.  I mean, do people of color ever commit hate crimes?  I've certainly never heard of such a case on CNN or read about one in the New York Times...  And yet, as it turns out, non-white people are actually PEOPLE, with all the foibles one might expect in homo sapiens.  Whoa!  What a revelation.

 

https://www.theblaze.com/news/anti-white-hate-crime-highest-level 

 

Now, we've been lamenting the state of the American academy for years on this blog.  The capture of higher education by woke lunatics is very nearly complete.  That's why it's so interesting that Niall Ferguson and some other intellectuals have launched a bold new project to build a new university in Austin, Texas -- one that doesn't cancel freedom of conscience and free speech, in general, and conservatism, in particular.  We here at WaddyIsRight wish those engaged in this noble crusade the very best of luck!

 

https://www.bloombergquint.com/gadfly/niall-ferguson-america-s-woke-universities-need-to-be-replaced 

 

Speaking of the pitfalls of American education, don't look now but some California school districts are eliminating grades A, B, C, D, and F because (you guessed it) those letters are RACIST!  They're also encouraging teachers to stop evaluating students based on "subjective" and "irrelevant" factors like their behavior, participation, or whether or not they show up or hand in work on time.  Consider, however, where this leaves us.  The Left has already cancelled standardized tests like the SAT -- objective measures of performance -- because these tests don't lead to the kind of racially "equitable" results that they're looking for.  Translation: black and Hispanic students don't do well on standardized tests, generally speaking, so out they go!  Now the woke crowd is saying that subjective measures are also suspect, because they provide a means by which "bias" can contaminate the educational process.  But, and this is the important point, if we can't evaluate students of color objectively or subjectively, then we can't evaluate them at all!  Nowadays, no system of assessment that leads to the stigmatization of (some) students of color as failures, in any way, shape, or form, is permissible.  I think the only conclusion one can reach is that grades and meritocracy are not long for this world, and in the foreseeable future life's rewards will be distributed on the grounds of "equity" (i.e. based on the agenda of the Left) and not based on "merit" of any kind.  Assuming you don't mind if the bridge that you're driving over was designed by a cretin, or if the doctor performing your open heart surgery isn't entirely sure where hearts are located, then you should be entirely satisfied with the world of tomorrow!

Finally, I believe everyone should make their own decisions about whether to "get the jab".  The simple fact is, though, that the Trump vaccine is effective.  Will it turn us all inside out after one year of percolating in our bloodstream?  Maybe, but I doubt it.  In the meantime, though, it does seem to lower, to a remarkable degree, one's susceptibility to the coronavirus.  So I say: bravo, Trump!

The Greatest West Virginian of All Time? (It's a Short List)

 


 

Friends, my latest article, available at American Greatness, notes that Joe Manchin is sounding more and more like a person of sound mind; ergo, he can't possibly stay a Democrat much longer!  He'll be expelled from the party, if he doesn't choose to secede from it.  Oops!  Sorry -- "secession" is insurrectionist talk.  I need to govern my tongue.  Anyway, see what you make of my sage observations.  Any bets on when, or if, Manchin might become "one of us"?

The "Rainbow Nation" Succumbs to Identity Politics

 


Friends, when South Africa held its first all-race elections in 1994, the world breathed a sigh of relief, assuming that racial strife had been avoided and a bright, democratic, tolerant future lay ahead.  Well, those high hopes have come crashing down to earth in recent years.  Increasingly, the ruling African National Congress uses cynical appeals to the racial loyalties of blacks to cover for its own abysmal failures in terms of service delivery and its appalling corruption.  As this article makes plain, very little works nowadays in South Africa.  What this means, in practice, is that middle class families have to rely on private enterprise to provide almost all the services that ordinarily a government would administer: roads, schools, police protection, you name it.  That's what happens when merit ceases to be a consideration in the appointment of public officials...and when people feel entitled, based on their ethnic origins, to be hired and promoted.  Meanwhile, a depressingly large percentage of the South African population no longer works for wages, but it stridently demands free higher education, free health care, and the extirpation of all cultural traces of the country's former white rulers.  It's an ugly scene, all in all.  It's a picture of a country that, for all its racism and injustice, used to function well, administratively, economically, educationally, and otherwise.  If there's one thing we've learned about leftist, "anti-racist" rule, though, it's that it regularly produces grave dysfunction in governance, crime, disorder, animosity, corruption, and despair.  If we're not careful, the same cycle can and will be repeated here.  In a number of our biggest, bluest cities, it already has.


https://unherd.com/2021/11/how-the-anc-destroyed-south-africa/

 

Speaking of driving America into the ground, the Dems, with a little help from some RINOs, passed their precious infrastructure bill.  That's another $1 trillion down the drain.  Now, the progressives in the House have been saying for ages that they wouldn't vote for the infrastructure bill until the even pricier reconciliation/social spending bill had also passed.  Well, it hasn't, but they did anyway.  Even if the reconciliation bill someday passes the House, moreover, its fate in the Senate is anything but assured.  Seems like the progressives backed down, therefore.  Maybe this signals that they feel responsible for the Dems' poor performance in the 2021 elections?  Maybe they think they owe Sleepy Joe a "win", even if it's a hollow one?  Hard to say, but things are percolating on Capitol Hill.  Let's hope that Manchin and Sinema keep fighting to make the reconciliation bill as toothless as humanly possible -- or, even better, that they and the Dems manage to screw it up altogether and the blasted bill is never heard from again.

The pandemic is, at least for now, once again in retreat, and new and better treatments hold out hope that the disease can be wrestled into submission, at long last.  The Dems better hope so!  In the meantime, however, Aaron Rogers, the Green Bay Packers quarterback, has become the latest villainous "anti-vaxxer" to attract the ire of COVID enthusiasts.  I, for one, wish Rogers all the best, except on the football field, where I'd just as soon he lost big.

The Joe Manchin Variety Hour

 


Friends, the only name that's on everyone's lips as often as Glenn Youngkin's these days is...Joe Manchin's.  He's the man of the hour.  Almost singlehandedly he's holding up the Dems' cherished spending spree, and sending his fellow Democrats into fits of mutual recrimination.  It's delightful to watch.  Good ole Joe is in the news again.  First, as a victim of more harassment from far leftists, in this case "climate" activists.  Ready to admit the truth, Joe?  The Left HATES YOU!  It's time to jump ship.  In the second story, you'll see Manchin laying down some harsh truths about fiscal overreach.  As he points out, in the blink of an eye we've spent more allegedly battling COVID than we did fighting Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.  And now the Dems want to up the ante?  Come on, man!  Lastly, you'll see Joe standing up to CNN and pointing out that this just isn't a left-wing country.  If anything, in fact, he says it leans to the right.  That's not an easy thing to measure, but Joe is certainly correct that Americans didn't elect Joe Biden and a Democratic House and Senate because they love socialism and wokeness.  They did it because they were persuaded that Trump=Beelzebub.  They expected the Dems to restore a sense of normalcy.  How's that turning out?

In other news, recent developments suggest that John Durham is intensifying his efforts to get to the bottom of the Trump-Russia hoax, and it's looking more and more like a Dem con job.  No surprise there, but the question is whether any big fish will be caught in the net...

Here's an interesting analysis of the 2021 elections by a lefty.  He essentially says that the Dems underperformed because their base wasn't "angry" enough.  He has a point.  Trump-hatred was the rocket fuel that powered the ascent of Democrats from 2017 to 2020.  Now that fuel source has been mostly cut off.  They're trying to tap into a new reservoir of anger by harping on white supremacy (that again?), January 6th, and COVID fears, but it remains to be seen if any of those dogs will hunt.

File this one under "Yay for Florida!".  For the first time EVER in the state's history, Republicans now outnumber Democrats.  Remember, Florida was a Southern state, so until the 1960s Republicans were virtually unknown there.  Then, desegregation, the Vietnam War, and the rise of social liberalism gave Floridians a swift kick in the political posterior, which in turn made many of them into Republicans, or at least Blue Dog Dems.  Slowly but surely, the state's shift to the right is coming to fruition.  Long may it last!  The participation of Hispanic immigrants in this phenomenon is especially heartening.

Finally, U.S. trade deficits are setting new records.  Seems like they do that almost every month!  You ought to be a little anxious about this, because our high standard of living in America is undergirded by the fact that foreign countries, like China, are willing to send us all kinds of goodies in exchange for nothing more than little pieces of paper with George Washington's portrait on them.  Decent of them, no?  The whole arrangement relies, however, on the world's perception that the U.S. dollar is worth what we say it is.  And that perception, in turn, relies on the "good faith and credit" of the U.S. Treasury, which means, among other things, it relies on our ability to live within our means.  As our profligacy explodes, therefore, expect the integrity of the dollar, and its exchange value, to falter.  In other words, enjoy those flatscreen TVs and iPhones while you can, because they might not be affordable forever.

Dems on the Run

 


 

Friends, you won't want to miss this week's Newsmaker Show with me and Brian O'Neil.  We break down the results of the key 2021 elections, including the GOP's incredible success in running the table in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  We also discuss the implications for 2022, and the role that Trump -- and the specter of Trump -- are likely to play going forward.  Brian and I also talk about the state of New York politics in the shadow of the 2021 returns.  It now looks like Kathy Hochul will face a stiff challenge from Letitia James, Bill DeBlasio, and...many more?  That gives Republicans a narrow opening to capture the Governorship of the Empire State in 2022.


When Brian and I turn to history, we hash over the failure of the Hungarian Uprising in 1956 and how it exposed Soviet domination in Eastern Europe as a nakedly coercive enterprise, the 2016 Paris Agreement on climate change and how its legacy of empty posturing lives on in Glasgow, the curious fact that leftist race-baiting only increased in the wake of the election of Barack Obama as our first black president, and the significance of the Iran hostage crisis in U.S. foreign relations.


Wow!  It's topical, it's scintillating, it's informative -- it's Waddy!

Election Day, 2021!

 


Friends, as you know, Election 2021's marquee matchup is the Governor's race in Virginia.  Glenn Youngkin, the Republican, has taken a narrow lead in recent polls -- and polls tend to lean left, so a small lead could generate a solid win.  That's what we're hoping for...and a sweep of the House of Delegates, the Lieutenant Governorship, and the Attorney General's office as well.  Fingers crossed!  The chances of repeating such a performance in New Jersey look slim, but you never know.  As you'll see here, Biden's waning popularity is lifting all Republicans, by default, so there's hope!

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/11/01/analysis-joe-bidens-net-approvals-tank-in-battleground-states/ 


In other news, Dems and progressives are bummed that Terry McAuliffe in Virginia hasn't managed to make the Governor's race there all about Trump.  They assume, naturally, that most people hate Trump, so if voters connect Republicans with Trump, the GOP is doomed.  Well...if that's true, then why did they have to game the system so much in 2020 just to squeak out a narrow win?  Their assumption that Trump's role in the 2022 election could prove damaging to Republicans isn't totally out in left field, however.  No one knows how the "Trump Factor" will play out...

Great news!  Senator Rick Santorum is joining the Newsmax team.  You might recall that he was unceremoniously let go by CNN for having the temerity to speak the truth about Native American influence on American culture: it's minimal.  Native Americans, of course, complain about the marginalization of their people all the time, which is to say they make exactly the same claim that Santorum did, but they use more elegant, PC language, and that makes all the difference.  Anyway, Santorum should be a lot happier working for an organization that doesn't believe in canceling everything that moves.
