One of the plays that Nancy Pelosi used when impeaching President Trump last year was holding the impeachment articles for a time when she thought she might get maximum advantage from them. Now word comes that later this morning Speaker Pelosi will be advancing them without much of a wait.

Given that in the first week we have seen job killing moves that have angered Democrat constitutions including unions and states strong in their column combined with the spectacle of National Guard Troops being treated so badly that there was a need to have Jill Bring two bags of cookies for a photo op (how they were supposed to be spread for thousands was not explained) the need to change the subject came a lot faster than anyone expected.

Now while I’ve already noted the Biden Administration having not needed the voters to gain power has no need to worry about offending these various democrat groups they are in power and is imunte to their complaints after all as Sarah Hoyt notes, what are those voters going to do vote him out?

Alas for the rest of the party this immunity doesn’t extend to all Democrat pols.

After all the ability to steal votes in Philly, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Detroit, Lansing, Pittsburgh and Madison doesn’t do a lot of good if you are a not in a Senate race in one of those states or in a house race outside of those districts where people might have an actual respect for a clean ballot.

So when in the first week of the Biden administration it became clear not only that Joe Biden was not up for governing (not that he’s doing so anyways) but that his administration was going to run roughshod over the voters, even voters that house and senate Democrats might need come election time, it became vital to change the subject.

So out comes the impeachment card which gives the left the one issue their are united on, absolute, irrational hatred of Donald Trump who unlike any other republican was not willing to have an election stolen from him without a fight, he might have lost that fight due to the fecklessness of State and Federal pols and judges but he still dared to make it.

So now Pelosi’s impeachment card is shot and now the Senate is discovering that while one or two deep state members who aren’t up for re-election for another six years would love to see it play, senators who saw how quickly the daughter of a vice president drew a primary challenge don’t want that repeated in their states.

So now the card is played, much earlier than they want and the resulting acquittal (assuming the trial of a private citizen by the senate passes constitutional muster) while making the left look weaker and Trump look stronger might just anger and distract their voters enough so they will be too buys complaining about Trump to notice when they open the next trap doors under them to appease their masters in China.

Closing Thought: Perhaps they should not have been so quick to deprive President Trump of a social media platform for the press to generate outrage from to distract the masses.

Sir Humphrey: We run a civilized, aristocratic government machine, temporized by occasional general elections. Since 1832 we have been gradually excluding the voter from government. Now we’ve got them to a point where they just vote once every five years for which bunch of buffoons try to interfere with our policies and you’re willing to throw that all away?

Yes Prime Minister: Power to the People 1988

The Biden administration is only a week old and we’ve seen Unions that endorsed him, the National Guard, sick Americans and even the State of New Mexico that supported him thrown under the bus.

We have also seen some “conservative” shocked SHOCKED at moves that have enabled China, backed away from optimistic cries on COVID and has made a target of are gone.

It’s taken less than a week.

I’d blame Biden but given that he has to have a person telling him via an earpiece to salute marine guards (and is not able manage that instead repeating what he hears) anyone stupid enough to believe that his guy is in charge deserves to be ruled by such a man, if they were being ruled by such a man. That’s why I (and you) should never say: “Joe Biden did ‘x'” and instead should say: “The Biden ADMINSTRATION did X” because Joe Biden is no more running this country than he is running his twitter account.

A lot of scales are dropping from people to whom it might just now be occurring that when you put in power an administration that doesn’t have to worry about being elected is that they don’t have to worry about what voters, even voters who supported them, think as they were not necessary for their election and won’t be necessary for re-election

And as Sarah Hoyt who has lived under an actual repressive regime put it :

What are you going to do, Vote him out?

Expect it to get a lot worse because the people who engineered the robbery of 74 million Americans of their franchise is didn’t do it simply because they didn’t like Donald Trump, they wanted the power and riches that power brings and intend to take it for themselves and those who they serve even if it meant the end of the American republic.

Unexpectedly of course.

While Joe Biden begins his Presidency by mouthing calls for unity, the divide in the U.S. only grows stronger, with the latest barriers between red and blue America erected by Biden himself. And the silence and acquiescence of the national media to executive orders that suspend regulations protecting the U.S. power grid from Communist China, attempt to redefine sex, and that subvert American-Canadian trade ties and immediately destroy a thousand of well-paying union jobs highlights in stark relief that same divide between an urban, worldly intellectual class and the rural, patriotic working class. The mainstream media is made up almost entirely by the former, and its product reflects that all too well.

Journalism used to be littered with writers whose education did not include a university degree, but instead came from the real world. Damon Runyon, H.L. Mencken, Jimmy Breslin, Paul Anderson were legendary journalists, none of whom ever obtained a university degree. Their formative years were spent in the military taking orders, or on the streets making a wage, trying to make ends meet. The skills they needed to do their job was the ability to speak, observe, and write. Back then, those skills were taught in high school.

Today, to even step foot in New York City requires at least a bachelor’s degree. A job search for “news reporter” in a stereotypical Heartland of America town like Des Moines, Iowa, reveals jobs like “general assignment reporter, ” “investigative reporter” and even “dining/features reporter” all in state a bachelor’s degree or even a masters’ degree is “preferred.”

The media companies, that is, the television companies, are made up of university graduate steeped in university culture, a culture that is soaked in Marxism, sexual libertinism, and identity politics. So long as the gates to American culture demand steeping its youth in such a culture for professional advancement, so long will that culture’s values seep from our televisions. Until conservatives begin their own long march through the institutions, we can only expect more of the same.
