Election 2023 Here Comes the Reaping

With the exception of the shocking election of a GOP Mayor in Manchester NH yesterday was a good day for the left in general and the culture of death and degeneracy in particular including in my own city that overwhelmingly supported a far left democrat over a conservative Democrat for mayor (we still have some of those here in the same way that deep red states have liberal republicans).

Rather than a long post I’m going to hit you with a few quotes and perhaps a line or two concerning them: First Glenn Reynolds on Virginia at Instapundit:

THIS IS A BIG LOSS, AND AS FAR AS I CAN TELL YOUNGKIN DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG: Democrats regain control of Virginia House of Delegates in rebuke to Youngkin.

It took just two years for the people of Virginia to go back to voting for the folks who brought you parents prosecuted for objecting to their daughters being assaulted by boys dressed as girls. This speaks volumes about Virginia and likely ends the whole “Draft Youngkin” business.

Quote two is from myself years ago when Planned Parenthood first moved into my city and the protests began:

Bottom line: If abortion does not end a unique human life then there is no reason to forbid, restrict or even consider it the least bit of controversial. The filming of it would not be an issue the sight of the “bodies” should be no more odd than a trip to the butcher shop and psychologically it should be no more traumatic than any other simple surgery. There would be no reason to want to reduce abortion, after all it’s just another same day operation, in fact we would want to encourage it for the monetary savings to the public.

When people talk about abortion as a “tragedy“, as something that should be “safe, legal and rare” as something we all “want to reduce” they reveal that they know the truth behind it, that we are talking about human life. We are ending a human life for the sake of convince, hardship or panic. We are willing to let it go, discarding it like any other piece of unwanted property, just so long as we don’t have to talk about it.

Like a town the day after a lynch mob strikes or a person at a party of a plantation owner who visits the slave quarters in the evening, we know something is wrong, but we don’t want to embarrass our neighbors and friends by saying a word.

Because once we say that word, we acknowledge reality

The vote in Ohio demonstrates that the paradigm has changed. The move to allow abortion up to birth shows that the left either no longer believes or no longer needs their faux paradigm of caring about life. It’s actually rather consistent with their reaction to the slaughter in Israel.

And that brings us to the 3rd quote this one from Don Surber:

The NYT poll is suspect because it came a month after Biden’s initial support of Israel after the Palestinian army attacked civilians and raped, tortured, killed and mutilated them. There were zero military targets in the October 7 attack. Palestinians broke a truce — again for the 15th time.

Biden’s reluctance to side with terrorists better explains the sudden hullabaloo about his electability. The pressure is not on him to quit the presidency but to quit the decency. Democrats support the terrorists and have for some time.

Democrat support of anti-Semitism and Muslim calls for a second Holocaust should cost the party the next 10 elections but I have learned something over the last two decades about the word should: it is a bet against the odds because man seldom does what he should.

That’s the thing. We say “Should” because Mr. Surber and I both come from the days when this was a strong and unapologetic Christian Nation whose recent defeat of Nazism is a hot war and the Soviets in a cold one seemingly “should” have been the signal for a new golden age for the world.

Alas even strong didn’t recognize that the grand period we were living through was not the norm but the exception to the rules of history. For we forget who the prince of this world is.

I’ll give the last word and quote to Christ himself:

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many.

How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.

Matthew 7:13-14

Kennedy Running as an Independent Will Make Things Interesting

The good news for the Democrat/Left is that they have solved one potential problem:

2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to announce he will run as an independent on October 9 in Pennsylvania, Mediaite has learned.

Kennedy’s campaign machine is now planning “attack ads” against the Democratic National Committee in order to “pave the way” for his announcement in Philadelphia about running as an independent, according to a text reviewed by Mediaite.

“Bobby feels that the DNC is changing the rules to exclude his candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go,” a Kennedy campaign insider told Mediaite.

The Democrat/Left decided that they could not risk a competitive primary where Democrat voters would have a choice not named Joe Biden, particularly when that choice is not owned by the deep state.

But now while Democrats don’t have THAT problem what they DO have to worry about is how this will change things in a general election.

Frankly a Kennedy nomination worried me because if nominated by the Democrats he would, in my opinion trounce Trump and give a DeSantis a run for his money because of his anti-establishment positions while still holding solidly liberal positions

Democrat voters who lost jobs because of the Fauci vaccine business in the last three years weren’t likely to be voting for Trump who helped give Fauci the national credibility that allowed him these things, but they ARE likely to cast a vote for Kennedy in a general election.

What happens if they do so in great numbers in Wisconsin?, Michigan? Arizona? Minnesota? New Hampshire? Maine? Virginia? Georgia?

The left might sow the whirlwind by these actions but there is one other side to this story that is mentioned at PJ media:

If RFK Jr. goes through with his plans, and he’s not suicided Epstein-style in the process, this will very probably be the death knell for Brandon’s re-election prospects, which were on thin ice as it was.

emphasis mine

If there really any person out there who doesn’t believe the deep state democrat left wouldn’t kill Kennedy in a minute if it put them at risk? (Remember there has already been one incident).

I submit and suggest that anyone who doesn’t admit this is deluding themselves.

Ilia Calderón at last night debate brought back memories…

…of attending Trump press conferences as credentialed press during the 2016 campaign.

The thing I most noticed about said press conferences at the time was that every question to Trump seemed to be premised on one of three propositions:

  1. Why do you suck so bad?
  2. Why does the GOP suck so bad?
  3. What are you going to do about the fact that you suck so bad?

That’s why when I asked this question in Derry NH:

and this question in Worcester MA

It was such a shock to the room because it violated the narrative the left wanted advanced.

And that brings us to Ilia Calderón.

Ilia Calderón was there to advance the left’s narrative and make the GOP candidates bow to it. Ron DeSantis called out said false narrative when she tried to play it on him but the real question on the table is this:

“Why is the GOP putting someone whose goal is to advance the MSM/Left: ‘Why do you suck?’ narrative as a moderator at the GOP debate?”

I think that’s a very good question and Fox and the RNC need to produce a very good answer.

But that’s just me

If Then Else Again on AB 957

Two weeks ago I proposed the following IF / THEN Else Statement:

Minister James Hacker: Will you answer a direct question?

Sir Humphrey Appleby: I strongly advise you not to ask a direct question.

Minister James Hacker: Why?

Sir Humphrey Appleby: It might provoke a direct answer.

Minister James Hacker: Never has yet.

Yes Minister: The Moral Dimension 1982

IF Newsom = “candidate for president” THEN AB 957= “veto” ELSE AB 957 = “Law”

By this I presumed that AB 957 was a sure thing because Newsom had just said the following:

“We need to move past this notion that he’s not going to run,” Newsom told NBC “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd in an interview clip released Friday. “President Biden is going to run and I’m looking forward to him getting reelected.”

One must remember that pols are masters of parsing words. What does he actually say:

  1. Joe Biden is going to Run.
  2. I’m looking forward to getting him re-elected.

What doesn’t he say is what happens if for some reason Joe Biden doesn’t run or has to pull out.

Let me remind you of what we wrote a week ago:

Democrats have now decided that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are no longer useful.

In fact they have actually reached the point where they believe that even with the FBI going after conservatives and the online services censoring the right at full swing and their friends in the courts sentencing those who spoke aloud about the steal to decades in prison that the country has reached the point where more people hate Joe Biden than Donald Trump.

This fear is reinforced by this map:

And the lastest pol number are even worse,

Head-to-head in a hypothetical November 2024 matchup, Trump has 51% support while Biden has 42% — numerically up 3 points for Trump and down 2 points for Biden from an ABC/Post poll in February, shifts that are not statistically significant.

Or as Drudge put it:

If Drudge is sounding the alarm for the left that means there is a real opening for another Democrat candidate for president, so we return to our original IF THEN ELSE statement:

IF Newsom = “candidate for president” THEN AB 957= “veto” ELSE AB 957 = “Law”

Well guess what happened this week:

and to our original article:

The one thing that might have inhibited that bill from becoming law is that signing such a bill might inhibit a potential presidential campaign by Gavin Newson as it would be such a killer in swing states that you couldn’t steal enough votes to save him.

There is of course always a chance that Joe Biden who has managed to survive so many disasters in his career might still survive this one, but if he doesn’t Gavin Newson has become that much more viable.
