John McClane: Welcome to the Party Pal

Seriously?

‘The people that are responsible for this s**tshow are the Obama people. They’re just grifters,’ a well-connected Democratic donor exclusively told Daily Mail.

You have a guy with almost no political experience. who comes out of the combined camps of Marxism who live for the utilization of the useful idiot, and the Chicago Machine who if not the inventors of the corrupt machine pol on the take are the foremost practices of that genre still active in existence and it takes you till the last weeks of the Obama people running the Biden Administration to figure out these guys are basically all grifters?

He singled out Jen O’Malley Dillon, who went from Biden 2024 campaign chair to serve in the same role for Harris’s camp, and David Plouffe, an ex-Obama 2008 campaign manager turned top Kamala adviser.

Deep-pocketed lefty patrons are enraged by Plouffe’s post-election admission that Harris never led Trump in their internal campaign polling, despite public surveys showing her ahead.

‘[Polls] came out in late September, early October, showing us with leads that we never saw,’ Plouffe revealed late last month on the Democrat-friendly podcast ‘Pod Save America.’

‘They lied to us. It’s just a circus of lies,’ the donor erupted, complaining that Harris’ team regularly painted a much rosier picture when speaking to supporters who were signing big checks.

Via Ace and a closing thought:

Biden of course was a corrupt grifter long before Obama was around and there were plenty of other grifters in the parties before this but I was taking to a friend yesterday, a reluctant Trump voter who was driven over the line by the left. He discussed an interview with George Bush Sr. who discussed his dad Prescott’s relationship with LBJ who was a very corrupt pol. He said he liked him and they got along because although they were on the other side and he would beat you and pressure you he never lied to you. He was up front about things, told you what he would do and did them.

When you redefine truth bad things happen

The DC Bubble

I spent nearly two years in the Washington news bubble, which became so bad that I left to cover the civil war in Lebanon.

My experience in Washington happened more than 40 years ago, but not much has changed.

Back then, Washington journalists had become part of the city’s elites, bringing down presidents, earning big bucks from book deals, and failing to acknowledge their biases.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 2,000 journalists work in Washington, the highest concentration of reporters in the country. One out of every 30 people in the District of Columbia works in journalism.

A recent study from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications revealed a stark lack of political diversity among American journalists, with just 3.4% identifying as Republicans and a significant 36.4% as Democrats.

Simply put, many of those polled lied. Many journalists of my era chose their jobs because they wanted to see change. They spouted the required allegiance to objectivity, fairness, and nonpartisanship. But you also had to present a point of view to stay acceptable to those on the cocktail and dinner circuits.

I worked in Washington during Jimmy Carter’s presidency. The group grope was that Carter and his band of Georgians were country rabble and had no business running the country.

The press corps was hell-bent on ensuring he didn’t get a second term. I generally covered the second or third-string Carter f-up stories for Newsweek. It wasn’t hard to find these stories because Carter and his aides didn’t know much about running the federal government.

Back then, the bar talk revolved around how the country could survive a president who wore a sweater during an address to the nation about energy policy.

For the past eight years, the Washington media elite has attacked Trump as a dangerous rube who had no business running the country. Now, in yet another group grope, the journalistic elite, who covered up Biden’s intellectual decline, suddenly realized the current president isn’t up to snuff.

I hope the nation realizes President Biden was not the only loser in last week’s debate. The Washington media should also be blamed for allowing him to hide his weaknesses.

Israel Strikes Back, Iran and Biden hardest hit

I guess Iran and Russia aren’t the only ones who ignore Biden when he says “Don’t”

Israel retaliated on Thursday night to Iran, reportedly launching strikes that targeted the west of the country. Explosions were heard early Friday morning local time in Isfahan prompting commercial flights to divert from their routes. 

Israel launched missiles in a retaliatory strike against Iran on Thursday night, ABC, CBS and NPR reported, citing senior US officials.

Bloomberg reported that Israeli officials notified the United States earlier on Thursday that the country planned to retaliate to Saturday’s attack in the next 24-48 hours. 

Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reported at around 5:30 a.m. local time (10:00 p.m. ET Thursday) that explosions were heard in Qahjaverestan, northeast of Isfahan. The cause of the explosions is currently unknown, per the outlet. CNN reported that Iran’s air defense systems had been activated, citing Iranian media. 

And not just Iran:

The report came shortly after local sources reported explosions in Isfahan in central Iran, in the As-Suwayda Governorate of southern Syria, and in the Baghdad area and Babil Governorate of Iraq early Friday morning.

Apparently Iran figured out that Biden’s latest don’t wasn’t going to be effective:

 the Iranian regime isn’t taking any chances trying to securely button up what they have, knowing it’s a prime target for attempted destruction. Prudence dictates they bubblewrap their nuclear facilities.

JUST IN CASE

Iran closed down its nuclear facilities amid fears of an Israeli attack, the United Nations has revealed.

Inspectors were blocked from the sites on Sunday, Rafael Grossi, the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency chief, said.

The shutdown came as Israel’s war cabinet was locked in talks over how to respond to Iran’s first direct attack on its territory.

Experts have warned Iran is on the “threshold” of becoming a nuclear power and could build a bomb in six months to a year. Uranium enrichment is accelerating as the regime faces calls to create a deterrent.

That’s not the only asset Iranians want to protect. For months, and in other periods of unrest prior to this, a certain Iranian Spy ship gussied up as a freighter has been plying the waters of the Red Sea. It mysteriously always seems to be in the vicinity when Houthi missiles are finding their targets or certain tankers or cargo ships need to be culled for boarding and hijacking out of the hundreds floating by.

No word on what the Damage is but no matter how you cut it, Iran loses face, but not as much as Biden.

Then again how much face does the Biden administration have?

Bidenomics Strikes and a Shake of DaTipJar

In yesterday’s Under the Fedora I mentioned both that the reason I had not made it to CPAC lately was my full time job and also how DaTipJar has been falling short to the point where this will likely be the blog’s last year.

Well it only took 24 hours for things to get worse.

Things have been nasty at my work for a couple of years. The normal peak seasons at Christmastime that were crazy during the Trump years lasted less that a week. We closed two warehouses in the area and every single temp worker at our place was let go.

All of this despite the insistence of the media/left that our economy is absolutely fantastic and we need to thank the Biden Administration for it. Well I’ll give them this much, I do give Joe Biden/Obama credit for the economy we have. I got another dose of that economy last night.

Yesterday we were told that my shift, the 2nd shift is to be eliminated. I don’t know what my new shift is going to be but the end results at minimum are

  1. a 4% pay decrease
  2. Daily mass at best eliminated for 3 days a week and at worst eliminated completely
  3. A 67% chance that I’ll have to give up both running the parish Adoration and my two hours
  4. The joys of early mornings and rush hour traffic
  5. And not only a shift no longer corresponding with my wife but because she sleeps in a recliner due to hip issues an excellent chance of waking her each morning and disrupting her sleep every day.

At my age and with the economy we have there is not much I can do I’ve done two of the three things that can be done.

  1. I’ve arranged a Mass with all of us at the company as the Mass intention.
  2. I voted for Trump today when I had the chance.

The only other thing I can do is ask you to consider hitting DaTipJar and or Sharing this post for that purpose. I’ll cut back and we’ll get by the best we can.

But if you would like to give a hand it would be most appreciated.
