Since our friends on the left claim to be shocked at the behavior of actual Christians taking people at their word that they love and welcome illegal immigrants and refugees let ask a Christian related riddle:

What do (most) of the welcoming Woke liberals of Martha's Vineyard have in common with Pontius Pilate former Roman Governor of Judea?

Like Pilate there were merciful, right up until it became inconvenient, to wit:

The folks in Martha’s Vineyard are completely on board with the idea of being a Sanctuary for Illegal immigrants and welcoming such people like the good woke liberals they are. At least the 24 hours takes for the news cycle to report how virtuous they are…

…but not one second more. As Clay Travis put it:

#unexpectedly of course.

There is an old saying that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

So you would think a person who studies history, writes about history and makes historical documentaries (The Civil War is likely the greatest piece of work of it’s type although it couldn’t be made today as it does not rewrite history at the left’s pleasure) might not be too quick to play the “Holocaust” card on flying illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard.

You’d think wrong:

Seriously? You’ve just made a documentary on the US’ response to the Holocaust and you compare the murder six million and the attempt to erase an ancient people from history with flying illegals to the one of the wealthiest parts of a sanctuary state?

I mean idiocy from Steve Schmidt, Elizabeth Warren or Gavin Newsom or Soledad O’Brien or Molly Jong Fast, and Chris Hayes I expect but Burns should know better and should be in a position where he doesn’t need the fundraising to carry on.

One might expect one to be embarrassed by this but apparently being on the left means being incapable of such things

The Democratic Party is trying very hard to make sure they lose the upcoming midterm elections.  Unfortunately for the United States, Republicans are working just as hard to lose.

The midterm elections should be an overwhelming victory for the Republican Party.  The American people are truly suffering because of rampant inflation caused by Democrat’s economic policies.  Gas prices have nearly doubled thanks to the stealth Green New Deal enacted by the Democrats.

Culturally the Democrat party is widely out of step with the American people.  Just look at what the Democrats stand for, transgenderism, abortion, intolerance for the American Founding Principles, and so much more.

With just under two months to go, the polls are a bit disconcerting.  This is bad news for Republicans, and most importantly, bad news for the American people.  The fault lies with the Republican party, as you can see from this Brietbart article.

Unfortunately for Republicans, most voters — 56.1 percent — said Republicans have not made a strong enough case to warrant their support. Just one-third, 33.9 percent, said they have, and ten percent remain unsure. 

Predictably, 87.1 percent of Democrats said the GOP has not done enough to make a strong case for their support, but a smaller majority of Republicans, 61.1 percent, said they have made a sufficient case, compared to 25.9 percent of Republicans who disagree.

Perhaps most concerning for the GOP is the fact that 57.2 percent of independents agree that Republicans have not done enough to make their case as the midterm elections approach. Just 28 percent of independents say Republicans have made their case, and 14.8 percent remain unsure.

What are the Republicans actually doing when they should be making their case to the American people?  Check out this Politico article.

Mitch McConnell is among the myriad Republicans questioning the Senate GOP’s quality of candidates in the midterms. Rick Scott wants everyone to stop doubting his recruits.

“Sen. McConnell and I clearly have a strategic disagreement here … We have great candidates,” the National Republican Senatorial Committee chair said in an interview Wednesday. “He wants to do the same thing I want to do: I want to get a majority. And I think it’s important that we’re all cheerleaders for our candidates.”

Republican Senators are now focusing on issues that will turn off independents and fence sitters, who are needed to ensure a Republican victory.

Just yesterday, Sen. Marco Rubio submitted a bill to prohibit protestors from blocking interstate highways.

While in itself, this bill is needed at some point, other things are needed much earlier. Like now.

This is the second time in as many days that a denizen of Congress (Sen. Lindsey Graham) came up with a bill that is far less pressing compared with the other far more dangerous issues we face.

He wants a ban on late-term abortions

Banning late-term abortions is not on the radar of most Americans in this very dangerous time of malignant inflation and cultural collapse.

I applaud both efforts, however, the timing for these bills is far from ideal, and of questionable constitutionality.

If the Republicans want to win the midterm elections, they immediately need to take lessons from Governor Ron DeSantis.

“We’ll hold Biden accountable,” DeSantis told guest host Raymond Arroyo. “This is a referendum on his failures, make sure everybody knows how his policies have contributed to the mess we’re in, and then articulate what you will do to address things like the border, like crime, like inflation. I think if you do that, I think Republicans are going to win both chambers. And I think it’ll be a really good night.”

The fraud of John Fetterman

John Fetterman, the Democrat nominee for U.S. senator in Pennsylvania, is one of the biggest fakes to seek political office.

At 53, he’s basically never held a paying job outside of government, owing mainly to his family’s wealth. 

Born in West Reading, Pennsylvania, to an insurance executive and his wife, Fetterman got a public policy degree from Harvard and traveled more than 250 miles west to the small town of Braddock, where he worked as a member of AmeriCorps, the domestic version of the Peace Corps.

Fetterman, the carpetbagger from eastern Pennsylvania, had found his niche in the western part of the state.

In 2005, he ran for mayor when the town had 3,000 souls, about two-thirds of whom were black, promising to clean up crime and make the economy better. Amazingly, he won the race by one vote: 149-148. Unsurprisingly, some election day shenanigans allowed three people to cast ballots who had been turned away at the polls. See https://www.post-gazette.com/local/east/2005/06/09/One-provisional-ballot-decides-Braddock-mayor-s-race-It-s-Fetterman/stories/200506090277

For whatever reason, Fetterman became a media and elite darling despite his tattoos, hoodie and shorts, and excess pounds. 

The Guardian described John Fetterman as the “coolest mayor” in the country. The New York Times told its readers that Fetterman had “turned the busted town of Braddock, PA, into a national symbol of hope, hard work and authentic blue jeans.

Fetterman was feted at The Aspen Institute and with a TED talk.

As Tucker Carlson put it: “It’s so perfect: homesteading, organic vegetables, art installations, and also, again, inevitably a heaping dose of climate theology, all imported from Harvard. Fetterman imposed on a town with no jobs, carbon caps on Braddock, Pennsylvania, and he claimed these carbon caps would somehow — he never explained how — bring more manufacturing jobs back. He called this initiative “Carbon Caps = Hard Hats.” So expensive, unreliable energy will mean more manufacturing jobs, and yet somehow no one laughed at him, so John Fetterman kept going.” 

During his 14 years as mayor, he rarely attended town council meetings and argued incessantly with the black leadership of Braddock.

In 2013, Fetterman said he heard a loud sound, which he thought was gunfire. He grabbed a shotgun and followed a jogger, who was black, and confronted him. The jogger said Fetterman pointed the shotgun at his chest and face. No charges were filed, and no apology was made.

Imagine what would have happened if a Republican running for ANY political office did such a thing?

In 14 years as mayor, Fetterman saw nearly half of the people leave. Crime and the economy aren’t any better. 

But the Democrats elected him as lieutenant governor in 2019 and nominated him for U.S. Senate. 

Fetterman’s stands on the issues are to the left of Bernie Sanders, whom he endorsed for president. Fetterman makes AOC seem sane!

I can only hope that the voters of Pennsylvania finally see through his facade and media hype to return him as an ordinary citizen to live out his years in Braddock or Aspen.
