3rd Doctor:: You went back to change history, but you didn’t change anything. You became a part of it.
Monia: What are you talking about?
3rd Doctor: If Styles didn’t cause that explosion, somebody else did.
Anat: Well, obviously, but who? Shura!
3rd Doctor: Isn’t that exactly what he would have done? One last suicidal attempt to carry out his orders?
Monia: It’s possible, I suppose.
3rd Doctor: You’re trapped in a temporal paradox! Styles didn’t cause that explosion and start the wars. You did it yourselves.

RFK & Trump 8/23/24 Youtube screen capture

Yesterday there was a moment in the 2024 election that a lot of people never thought they’d see

And spoke to the crowd as to why he was there and had decided to join team Trump

The most incredible thing about the RFK JR. Endorsement of Donald Trump yesterday is that it was completely preventable by the Democrat party and all those who are now freaking out over this development.

Consider, at the time when RFK Jr. announced he was seeking the Democrat nomination the people who are actually running this country today (we still don’t know who that is do we) knew that Joe Biden was no longer (if he was ever) fit to hold office. They knew that five minutes in New Hampshire would reveal this, so they did all they could to keep Kennedy off the Democrat ballot, likely because they knew that while a Democrat, he would insist on actually being president.

So they did all they could to keep him off the Democrat ballot until Kennedy was forced to run as an independent, thus giving people who hated both Trump and Biden an alternative.

Even then they treated him horrible, despite the history of assassination in the Kennedy family they refused to give him secret service protection only yielding when Trump, having narrowly avoided an assassin’s bullet publicly called them out on it

When they could no longer hide Biden’s decline it was an even better situation for Democrats because while people really didn’t like Vice President Kamala Harris they didn’t hate her the way some hated Trump.

But that wasn’t enough, they did all they could to keep RFK off the ballot in states and hamper his campaign in every way possible, he addressed this in his speech withdrawing from the race:

And thus here we are now with Trump and RFK Jr. talking all the wind out of Kamala’s sails. Kamala faked having a special guest at her convention speech while Trump had a real one.

But consider for a moment what would have happened if the Democrat party had allowed RFK JR. to run in the Democrat primaries?

The Joe Biden is sharp and healthy canard would have been exposed a year early and Democrats would have had a real primary, Kennedy having a big head start would have likely won or at the very least if he lost endorsed whoever beat him in the primaries.

Just imagine the differences:

  • Think of what the Democrat convention would have looked like if RFK Jr. rather than Kamala had been on that stage
  • Imagine the whole “Return of Camelot” theme they MSM would have gone with
  • Imagine a person who could actually separate himself from the Joe Biden
  • Imagine RFK Jr. facing Trump in debates instead of Biden or Kamala
  • And best of all imagine the media not being exposed for the Biden cover-up

If I’m the Democrat party chair, I’d have liked my odds in November against Trump head to head with RFK as the nominee this fall, and if nothing else I’d like my odds a whole lot better than my odds with Kamala.

That could have been the conversation today instead it’s Donald Trump campaigning with RFK and addressing the issues that Kennedy cares about.

The real irony in the quandary that the Democrats find themselves in today is that it was completely preventable and only driven by the bad, dishonest and dishonorable decisions that they choose to make.

I’m having a hard time not laughing.

Update: Talk about mistakes RFK rebuffed by Kamala

Following my first discussion with President Trump, I all tried, unsuccessfully, to open similar discussions with Vice President Harris. Vice President Harris declined to meet or even to speak with me.

All it might have taken was one meeting to prevent this:

Like I said, they did this to themselves.

How DARE GA Decide to Verify Totals

Back in the days before Obama and in those halcyon years of the 20th century when someone stated something that was considered a “conspiracy theory” those who wished to debunk it simply broke out actual evidence that could clearly demonstrate that someone was talking nonsense.

It was the standard way of silencing people who were talking nonsense, you’d show the math, you’d display your work and thus easily show that the various worries and fears of impossible things were, in fact baseless and thus belonged in the category of “conspiracy theory”.

But over the last 10 years this has changed. Our friends on the left when confronted by questions they did not want to deal with have basically shouted “conspiracy theory” without bothering with the pesky business of disproving various claims, the accusation itself was enough.

Thus the reaction by the left to this story out of Georgia:

The Georgia State Election Board passed a rule Monday giving local election officials additional power to investigate ballot counts before certifying the results, a move critics say could inject chaos into the 2024 election and delay the state’s official vote count.

The “Rule for Reconciliation Prior to Certification” will allow for a hand recount of votes to ensure “the total number of ballots cast” does not exceed “the total number of persons who voted,” according to the language of the rule.

County election officials will now be allowed to investigate any possible discrepancies.

The NY Times describes this as a “right wing takeover” and the CNN story is full of, as Citizen Free Press calls it “Democrat Tears” but the bottom line is this.

If the cries of “stolen elections” are simply a “conspiracy theory” then a hand recount should be welcomed by our friends on the left as a simple way to verify what they already claim is the case.

Because you don’t need “massive turnout” to counteract verification if actual votes are there do you?

To beat the Democrats, we must destroy the media first

By John Ruberry

I’ve been a conservative blogger for nearly two decades. And it’s just occurred to me that we’ve been advancing our cause the wrong way for many years.

Our side supports smaller government–but a strong and vigorous military and law enforcement apparatus–as well as lower taxes, fewer regulations, and enabling vigorous free speech. The leftists–call them liberals or progressives if you prefer–are on the opposite side of those issues. 

So why aren’t we winning more?

Because the leftists, with a few exceptions such as Fox News and talk radio, has the media on their side.

Attacks on prominent Democrat politicians, such as Hillary Clinton, sometimes succeed. But Clinton, a thoroughly unlikable person with the charm of a rattlesnake, was easy prey. Not even the mainstream media trusted her. 

Let’s move on to Joe Biden. Until cognitive decline became apparent in Biden to open-minded people–that was sometime around 2019–the progressive media juggernaut didn’t care much for the corrupt Delaware fabulist. But word trickled out that what was left of his mind was turning into Play-Doh. And trusted leftists such as Susan Rice and Anita Dunn were at his side to mold that putty into another Bernie Sanders, albeit someone less scary than the Vermont socialist.

And the leftist media, led by the New York Times and the Washington Post, went into prevent defense mode, first to assist Biden to outmaneuver Sanders and win the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, then to run cover as Biden, using the COVID-19 hysteria as an excuse, as the cognitively declining Biden campaigned for the White House from the basement of his Delaware home.

And the media, Pravda-like, protected Biden after the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan–remember the embarrassingly wrong USA Today fact check?–as well as minimizing the effects of the supply chain crisis, inflation, recession, and of course Biden’s accelerating descent into senility.

As long as Play-Doh Brain Biden played along and didn’t appear too horrible in public, the media shielded him. 

And then for a few weeks this summer, the media remembered they were journalists. With tens of millions of Americans watching–Biden’s cognitive decline was on full display during his disastrous debate in June with Donald Trump. 

Biden was no use to the media mob anymore. So, they all but “granny dumped” him as they told their audience, finally, that Biden’s mind was goo. Then Brutus-like, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Barack Obama finished him off. 

Et tu, Kamala Harris? Probably.

Of course, Harris, the vice president, is now the Democrat nominee. And with rare exceptions, such as Harris’ call for Soviet-style price controls, they’re back to protecting the head of their Democratic Party.

I’m being overly generous in this article but think of whoever is the Democratic president or its presidential nominee as Superman. And look at the media as the Dems’ secret power. Well, it is for low-information voters. They’re the ones who not only don’t know who their state representative is, they don’t even know there is a legislature in their state and the other 49. But these low-information voters reliably fall for the establishment media lies–even if encountering their lies is nothing more than seeing a Facebook headline on their smartphone.

Take away that secret power, the media, and that will be the end of the Democratic Party as a national political force.

I touched on this issue in my post here last week, Journalists should be forced to wear clown suits. Cancel your subscriptions to their publications. If you absolutely need to read an article from, let’s say, the Chicago Tribune or the Washington Post, for laughs perhaps, you can often find those same pieces on MSN or Yahoo for free.

And challenge the leftist media propagandists on social media. Break them while forcing their employers to go broke. They’re not earning an honest living. They’re propagandists–not journalists.

While breaking the media, you may gain friends and admirers.

And you may save our nation.

No more Mr. Nice Guy.

Make them squirm.

Five Assorted Thoughts Under the Fedora: Playoff Bound, GOP Should Do Some Housework, Wow If True, The Bright Side of Inflation, Pill Popping

The Indiana Heat of the WNBA are currently in the #7 playoff spot, a half game ahead of the #8 team and a full 3 games ahead of the #9 team which means that barring disaster over their last 13 games Caitlin Clark is going to take a team that hasn’t made it to the playoffs for nearly a decade back into the WNBA playoffs.

Can’t wait to see the ratings.

Kamala is busy stealing Trump ideas promising to do all kinds of things that she hasn’t bothered to do before.

If I’m the GOP I’m quickly passing a bill to make tips exempt from federal taxes and to advance the credit that Trump proposed that Kamala is pushing as well.

Get the both passed and let the dems in the senate kill them the week of their convention.

At least that’s what I’d do.

I can not emphasize how important if true this is

Epstein explained how the prosecutors tried to get him to give testimony to support Trump’s impeachment, even if it wasn’t true. Here is Tartaglione’s description of their conversation:

He [Epstein] said, ‘I don’t know anything. . . . But the government told me I don’t have to prove what I say about Trump as long as Trump’s people can’t disprove it.’ I [Tartaglione] said ‘Yes, he’s the President of the United States. His people are the FBI.’ He [Epstein] said, ‘That’s what I said, and they said, no, the FBI’s our people, not his people.’

It is worth noting that Section 1622 of the U.S. Criminal Code (Title 18) provides as follows:

§1622. Subornation of perjury

Whoever procures another to commit any perjury is guilty of subornation of perjury, and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

There have been no follow up interviews with Tartaglione. Jessica reports that the day after she posted the audio of her interview with him, he was transferred out of the Brooklyn MDC, where he had been for eight years, to an unknown destination, and has not been heard from since:

I miss the days when the FBI was actually busy protecting Americans and following the law, assuming they were actually doing that in those days.

I’ve spent a lot of years comparing the Abortion industry to the Slavery industry and there is one thing that they both have in common.

It’s all about the profit and apparently the profit margin just isn’t there anymore

There’s some real irony here. Pro-life groups have spent decades campaigning against abortion and especially against late-term abortion. But it seems many clinics (like the ones in New York mentioned above)  are now feeling pressure to stop performing these late abortions, not because of a change in the law but because of Bidenflation. I guess that’s what they call a silver lining.

I’m not a fan of Biden/Harris inflation but if the higher prices are saving kids lives I’ll take the hit.

For 40 years I have been picking up meds for DaWife but have never had to take any myself.

This ended today as apparently my blood pressure which has been historically low all my life has shot up to levels so high that my wife is shocked I haven’t had a stroke.

This is not a huge surprise as my father had issues with both his heart and high blood pressure and died at 65, then again he was a heavy smoker till he was 45 and a heavy drinker till about 50 and I’ve never smoked and I drink so infrequently (maybe a dozen drinks a year) that most people think I’m a teetotaler.

I think not having regular meds till 61 isn’t bad but it’s a dramatic change for me and given the BP levels I’ve been showing over the last two weeks I guess it’s necessary but I would have liked to make it to retirement before I needed meds.

It is what it is and after all a man has to die of SOMETHING
