Six Debate Thoughts Under the Fedora: Missing RFK Yet?, Reality doesn’t care about Your spin, Trump Proved Right Again, Adaptability vs Incomprehensibility, Sisson deserves a Raise, You Can’t Replace Biden and Overturn a Bunch of Elections Can You?

Before we start let me remind everyone that Democrats did all they could to keep Robert F Kennedy Jr. out of the Democrat Primaries.

In retrospect this was likely a bad idea.

It’s amazing how quick the narrative goes from: “The idea of Joe Biden is infirm is false these are all deepflakes” to “Joe Biden is not fit to be president” when the proof of that statement is broadcast live to the entire nation.

Not a single one of those people who spent the last year lying about how sharp Joe Biden in on air will apologize for that lie.

Reality doesn’t care what your spin is.

Apparently the only person who was honest about the condition of Joe Biden was Robert Hur

There were an awful lot of people who didn’t like the rules to this debate.

  • two reporters who had a history of bias vs Trump
  • No crowd for Trump to play off of
  • No props for Trump to use
  • And complete control of the microphones in the hands of folks who hate him.

Many people including myself thought it was foolish of Trump to agree to those terms.

He was clearly right and we were wrong

One of the reasons why the disadvantages that Trump had didn’t work is the fact that Trump is adaptable.

For example, during the campaign when he realized that the vaccines were a disadvantage he started talking about the Biden mandates (a winning issue) instead of the vaccines (a losing one).

During the debate Trump was adaptable, and in fact used the format to his own advantage as it kept him more on point and he was able to use the format to highlight Biden’s condition.

Meanwhile Biden, though he grew stronger during the debate (drugs adrenaline or both) wasn’t competent enough to pivot in the same way Trump was.

That sealed Biden’s fate.

There was one exception to the collective show of panic among Democrats.

Democrat influencer Harry Sisson thread kept insisting the Biden was winning the debate and Trump was incoherent. Check out his timeline it’s an exercise that would make Baghdad Bob proud.

I don’t know how much the democrat/left is paying this kid directly or indirectly but whatever he’s being paid it’s not enough.

I’d be worried about whatever woman decides to date him, if he’ll say stuff like that to the whole world that can see he’s lying you certainly can’t trust him to be honest with you.

Finally on every cable channel Democrats are calling for Joe Biden to be removed from the ticket. Hashtags like #joemustgo and #swapoutjoe are all over.

There is one problem with this idea.

Democrats for the last three years have been telling us that interfering with elections that they insisted were free and fair was a crime against democracy and beyond the pale. Even in last night’s debate Biden defended jailing those who thought otherwise.

Now Democrats want to overturn dozens of democratically conducted elections in states all over the country. Elections where Democrats freely choose Joe Biden as their nominee, not because they don’t think the elections were fair, but because they regret the results a few months later.

I can’t speak for everyone but it sounds kind of insurrectiony to me

The cowardly Supreme Court took a giant proverbial dump on the First Amendment

The one great failure of our Constitution proved over time to be the structure and organization of the Supreme Court.  That branch is far too dependent on the supposed integrity of a small number of individuals, who have proved to be too flawed to yield that much responsibility and authority.

On Wednesday, June 26th the current Supreme Court proved itself to be one of the most flawed incarnations of this august body.  They accomplished this by upholding The Biden Regimes despicable censorship by proxy scheme, SCOTUS Allows Feds’ Censorship Plot Ahead Of 2024 Election (thefederalist.com)

In her majority opinion, Barrett claimed that “[a]t this stage” of litigation, plaintiffs have not “established standing to seek an injunction” against the named federal agencies and that as such, the Supreme Court “lack[s] jurisdiction to reach the merits of the dispute.”

“The plaintiffs, without any concrete link between their injuries and the defendants’ conduct, ask us to conduct a review of the years-long communications between dozens of federal officials, across different agencies, with different social-media platforms, about different topics,” Barrett wrote. “This Court’s standing doctrine prevents us from ‘exercis[ing such] general legal oversight’ of the other branches of Government. … We therefore reverse the judgment of the Fifth Circuit and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”

I’m sorry but Justice Barrett demonstrated extreme cowardice when she issued her opinion, along with a callous disregard for the letter and spirit of the First Amendment.  Most unfortunately for the people of the United States, the other two faux conservatives on the high court, Roberts and Kavanaugh, sided with her.

Justice Alito wrote an epic and blistering dissent.

In his dissent, Alito noted that “[w]hat the officials did in this case was more subtle than the ham-handed censorship found to be unconstitutional” in a prior case before the court but that the feds’ censorship shenanigans documented in Murthy v. Missouri is “no less coercive.” In fact, the associate justice highlighted how the Biden administration’s efforts were “even more dangerous” due to the high-level government officials involved.

“It was blatantly unconstitutional, and the country may come to regret the Court’s failure to say so,” Alito wrote. “Officials who read today’s decision together with Vullo will get the message. If a coercive campaign is carried out with enough sophistication, it may get by. That is not a message this Court should send.”

I predict that the Biden Regime and social media will strengthen their unholy alliance and accelerate their schemes to suppress speech that would make another stolen election more difficult.

The high court’s Wednesday ruling has major implications for the upcoming 2024 election.

Leading up to the 2020 election, for example, CISA upped its censorship efforts by flagging posts for Big Tech companies it claimed were worthy of being censored, some of which called into question the security of voting practices such as mass, unsupervised mail-in voting. This was done despite CISA privately acknowledging the risks associated with such practices.

The FBI also took on a censorship role during the 2020 election, in what has been characterized as a clear attempt to help Joe Biden’s election prospects. In the months leading up to the November contest, the agency — which had authenticated Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop as early as November 2019 — was issuing warnings to then-Twitter and Facebook to be on the lookout for so-called “Russian propaganda” and “hack-and-leak operations” by “state actors.”

Jonathan Turley of the Media Research Center provided an excellent summation of the betrayal of the First Amendment by the three cowardly faux conservative justices.

One Debate Two Presidents No Mysteries (Well Maybe one)

Tonight’s Presidential Debate is unique in the history of presidential debates.

It is the first ever presidential debate where two people who have served as president are debating each other.

It is also the first presidential debate that has taken place before either candidate has been offically nominated as their party’s candidate (although both have already won sufficient delegates to secure said nominations).

It is also the first presidential debate featuring the two candidates of the respective parties where the moderators will have the ability to mute the microphones of the candidates at will.

That last point is going to be the most interesting thing we see. It’s generally assumed that the CNN moderators who are about as in the tank for Joe Biden as you can get will be censoring Trump, keeping him from either going on or countering if Biden says something completely off, but the real interesting thing to watch for will be if they use their mute buttons to cut off Joe Biden if he starts to ramble or carry himself like the doddering old fool that he is.

That’s going to be the real tightrope walk for Tapper and Bash, their goal is to hinder Trump’s ability to get his message out to those few watching who have not already made up their minds, without being so obvious as to garner him sympathy. Their second priority is to carry Joe Biden without making it clear to the audience that they are doing so. That might actually be the harder task of the night

That’s really the only mystery here. I suspect there are actually very few undecided voters in this election. Americans have lived through the Trump years and the Biden years so they have an actual basis for comparison that has not existed on election day since the election of 1892 when Grover Cleveland faced Benjamin Harrison. People know what the choice is and I suspect most have already made it.

Furthermore the Trump people are going to vote for Trump come hell or high water and the Trump haters would vote for a wooden plank if it ran against Donald Trump which pretty much is the case as I suspect very few people think Biden is in charge of anything and when the debate is over as long as Joe Biden doesn’t drop dead or throw up all over himself everyone in the media will declare (at least publicly) that Biden won the debate with a strong performance.

That’s why I don’t think this debate really matters much except for the people actually running this administration who will use it to decide if they are better off keeping Joe Biden or dumping him.

That’s how I see it.

Always Look on the Bright Side of the Ukraine War

I’m not a big fan of continuing the war in Ukraine.

When the potential for the entire country to fall existed and Kiev itself was under threat the necessity of preventing Russia from steamrolling the breadbasket of the area and potentially going beyond said borders in my opinion justified western aid, even to a country as corrupt as Ukraine.

And while others discouraged Ukraine drone strikes in Russia I disagreed. Ukraine & Russia are at war and such strikes are of course legitimate acts of war no matter what the potential for escalation is.

And while a stalemate does weaken the Russian military which isn’t a bad thing the potential for this conflict to go beyond their borders or go nuclear remains and that alone is a good reason to find a peaceful solution before things get worse.

Well they’ve gotten a bit worse:

If these reports are correct that’s an escalation that is not helpful and frankly I think this move by South Korea is foolish as well:

South Korea is now rattling its sabers in response to the news from North Korea. After an emergency meeting of its National Security Council, the non-communist Korea stated it would send arms to Ukraine, something it had previously decided not to do.

I think that’s foolish because if I was in charge of South Korea, I’d welcome this move.

Yes it does give troops of the north experience in actual combat which is a valuable commodity, but I think there are many more positives than negatives here for the south.

  1. Every NK soldier who is sent to Ukraine is a soldier not able to be on the front lines of the DMZ.
  2. Every NK soldier casualty in Ukraine not only bleeds that army but might be a source of demoralization for soldiers told to fight thousands of miles from home.
  3. If NK casualties become high enough it might cause some pushback at home. It’s one thing to lose a son or daughter fighting against the South close to home, it’s quite another to do so in a war 10,000 miles away in a fight that has no relation to their land.

None of this makes this escalation a good thing but as this post suggests one should always look at the bright side of things and anything that weakens the North Korean army or has the solid potential to create dissent at home certainly qualifies as such.
