Larry Hogan and working a walk

Posted: January 13, 2022 by datechguy in Uncategorized

These days I’m not so high on Joe Scarborough but he once said something that every single pol should take to heart: You have to win a majority to accomplish anything.

It’s a rule that is ignored by voters and a party at their peril.

For example in Wyoming conservatives know that if (OK when) Liz Cheney loses her primary she is going to be replaced by a strong conservative because the people of Wyoming are well versed with conservatism and reality.

In Maine not so much. It would be nice for example if we had a stronger conservatives than Susan Collins in Maine, but without her the Democrats would have the 51 votes to make a whole bunch of trouble, so until we can educate Maine voters on the realities of the left she’s likely as good as we can get.

And that brings us to Larry Hogan.

Hogan is a moderate Republican and a bit of a NeverTrumper, however he has done a credible job as Governor of the state and has done well with the black community:

Hogan would likely make strong conservatives like me go nuts and become the goto republican in the senate for the MSM but…
1. He’s likely the best we can get in Maryland
2. He would be a vote for conservative judges
Would I prefer a strong conservative? Sure. Can we elect a strong conservative in Maryland? At this point, absolutely not.

Think of it like baseball. In my 1969 Draft league my #1 & #2 batters are Mike Fiore, and Jim Hegan They are batting 61 and 73 point lower than Pete Rose but both draw a ton of walks. While it would be nice if those walks were double and triples and homers those walks enable Pete Rose to drive in runs (57 in 90 games so far) 3rd in the league despite having less than a 1/3 of the HR of the men ahead of him.

Larry Hogan in the senate will not hit a lot of conservative home runs but he will set the table allowing other to drive in runs and while he does that we can act to educate the people of Maryland so that the day will come when we can in fact do better.

A Democrat lie leaves 29 dead

By Christopher Harper

The Democrats’ pledge that they care about poor people should be forever put to rest after two fires left 29 people, including 17 kids, dead over the past week.

The fires in “affordable” housing in Philadelphia and New York should make everyone realize the lies told in Democrat-controlled cities.

The fire in Philadelphia happened in a building owned and run by the city’s Housing Authority. The two-unit row house in a generally gentrified section of Philadelphia had 26 people living in a space meant for half that many. 

At least four smoke detectors in the building were not working, and there were no fire escapes on the upper floors. 

Will Bunch, a leftist writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer, asked some pertinent questions.

“If Philadelphia doesn’t change laws and find the dollars to change the culture around housing safety, then this city is even more dysfunctional than we thought. We almost never talk about how 40,000 people sit on a waiting list for public housing that was finally shut down for most applicants eight years ago, or about how PHA only accommodates about 12% of the estimated demand for affordable housing, or how the agency needs an estimated $1 billion to fix the units it does have. No wonder the plight of families like the two cramped inside that Fairmount row house remains largely invisible.” 

New York had its own wake-up call days after the Philadelphia fire when 19 people died there. Public records showed the building had multiple open violations for mouse and roach infestations, peeling lead paint, and water leaks. One open complaint with the city Housing Preservation and Development Department referenced defective fire retardant material in a first-floor ceiling.

“It was at a building that was built under federal guidelines way back when, so it’s not up to New York City fire codes,” said Andrew Ansbro, president of the FDNY Uniformed Firefighters Association union.

Democrats have controlled Philadelphia and New York for most of the past 50 years, promising the poor that life would get better. 

Life hasn’t been better, and it’s never going to get better unless people hold Democrats accountable for their fake promises and government makes buildings safe for people who live in them. 

Can You imagine what the media would be saying about the Vaccine if Donald Trump was still President?

Picture if you will an election that wasn’t stolen in 2020. Picture Donald Trump about to begin a 2nd term in 2021 with the rollout of the vaccine.

Imagine what would be happening.

Suddenly every sudden heart attack , every case of Myocarditis, particularly among athletes, would be front page news. People in media, politics and Hollywood and academic would be lining up to decry the vaccine and proudly declare that they would not be taking it led by Kamila Harris and the VARES web site and chart would be as ubiquitous as the various rainbow flags on leftist campus.

And of course all the tech giants would be lionizing those who questioned the vaccine and the side effects.

Does anyone actually believe that it would be any other way?
