Reality Always Wins North West Edition

Arthur Dent: If I asked you where the hell we were, would I regret it?
Ford Prefect: We’re safe.
Arthur Dent: Oh good.
Ford Prefect: We’re in a small galley cabin in one of the spaceships of the Vogon Constructor Fleet.
Arthur Dent: Ah, this is obviously some strange use of the word “safe” that I wasn’t previously aware of.

Douglas Adams The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy 1979

Over the last decade we’ve seen a lot of words redefined by the left: “Marriage”, “Man”, “Woman”, “Insurrection”, and lately even “Democracy” which apparently means replacing the elected candidate for President without a vote and leaving government in charge of at best unelected bureaucrats, or at worst God knows who.

For example when Donald Trump offered Nancy Pelosi National Guard Troops for January 6th 2021 she turned him down because they left with the help of the deep state WANTED to create a narrative of violence by the right when months earlier as cities in the US were burning these events were called “Fiery but mostly peaceful”

But in the end no matter how many constructs you tend to create for fun and profit Reality tends to get the upper hand. Four years ago leftist taking over parts of cities and rioting was called the “summer of love” by the press, but apparently the love is gone:

Governors of Oregon and Washington are readying the National Guard for election week. To keep citizens safe from Donald Trump supporters? No. To keep people safe from the leftist Antifastanis and rabble who have rioted or beaten up Americans on the street corners of Portland and Seattle since before the 2016 election. 

Remember both of these states are bastions of leftist power. The odds of Donald Trump winning either are as the old saying goes, Slim and none, and Slim left town yesterday after this:

In fairness as Victoria Taft at PJ media notes this is consistent with the last election

But as she notes things are a tad different as well:

But all of a sudden, they, like the Mayor of Washington, D.C., have called out the National Guard in 2024 because things may not go Antifa’s way on Election Day. And when Antifa, anarchists, and Democrats are unhappy, then nobody’s safe. 

Or to put it another way, no business ever boarded up because they knew the Tea Party was going to rally in their town.

But it’s not the Tea Party coming so Washington and Oregon and DC all have the National Guard on alert.

Democrats can hope that all this takes place late in the evening, as they don’t want to drive Trump turnout even further.

Apparently Selzer put out a poll giving Kamala Harris a lead in Iowa that was pushed heavily on the net and at Drudge but isn’t being believed by anyone who knows anything about politics. Mark Halperin interviewed the woman in question who acknowledged that she oversampled “older white liberal women”

I think that might make a tad of a difference in the numbers don’t you?

When asked earlier this year the boss at SNL said they would not be having any of the candidates due to equal time laws and rules.

Apparently that no longer applies as they had Kamala on SNL this weekend which likely will do less harm to her campaign than an appearance since it’s pre-scripted and you don’t have to worry about teleprompters.

Personally given what I think will happen I think it’s a bad move but apparently NBC anticipated this and allowed this video for Trump to run during Nasscar and Sunday Night football

I’d take that trade any day of the week.

The blame game articles are already out there and Democrats are pointing fingers furiously.

Apparently nobody owns any mirrors.

One note I saw in a Hill article on the subject was the Bobby Kennedy dropping out and endorsing Trump being a huge hit to them.

I’ll wager if they had let him run in the primaries (where he would have won) the Democrats would be looking pretty good today.

JD Vance was in Derry NH today as the Granite State seems to be getting rather close.

Don’t think for one moment that voters in the state forgot about Biden bypassing them. Even more than Kamala I think that sticks in a lot of craws there.

But of Course you couldn’t have Biden in NH, there was no way to hide his decline if he had to appear in person at the Red Arrow Diner.

Finally I’ve noticed one thing that hasn’t generated a lot of questions.

I’ve seen Nancy Pelosi everywhere on the News lately pushing the various narratives for the Democrats some of them highly unrealistic.

That the former Speaker is doing so itself isn’t odd. In 1980 in the middle of Jimmy Carter getting destroyed Tip O’Neil went on the air and declared: “A Democrat tide is sweeping the nation.” even though he knew it was false as he didn’t want Dems on the left coast losing heart and staying home costing him seats.

What’s odd is that it’s the supposedly FORMER speaker who is doing this. Am I the only one who finds it odd that it’s Nancy Pelosi on all of these shows and NOT the Democrat majority leader Hakeem Jeffries? I mean if your going to interview somebody why would you not have the man with power rather than the person who no longer has it.

And that leads to my question? Does she no longer have it? Is she still the boss and Jeffries just a token? After all if was Pelosi and not Jeffries who forced Biden out.
