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.”

I love this tweet and my response:

Think about it for a second. If “immigrant activist” groups thought that places like DC or cities like Chicago and NYC and other places run where the Democrats have huge majorities were so wonderful they would be cheering that illegal immigrants (what they call ‘migrants’) would be settling there for a good life.

Instead they are angry and upset that the Governor of Florida or the Governor of Texas would send them there.

Apparently these activists believe that those Red States offer a higher quality of life and a better potential for these poor souls than the blue states do and given blue states attempts to turn said states into crime ridden hellholes I suspect these activists are right.

If I was DeSantis or Abbot I’d be making this point very loudly, frankly I’m surprised Christina Pushaw hasn’t yet
