Under the Fedora: Georgia on my Mind, My 2022 speculation proves true, Could you have done it?, God Knows What he’s doing, Signs Inflation numbers and Busy Temps

The fact that Georgia election officials are “not disputing” the fact that hundreds of thousands of early votes were illegally counted in election 2020 effectively costing Trump the state (and likely the GOP a senate seat) tells me how far the worm has turned.

4 years ago such an admission would have been the height of courage putting futures and prosperity at risk.

Today it’s a matter of fact statement.

I predict that as the risk to people’s futures decrease more of these kinds of admissions will come from various states. After all as I’ve said before cowardice is the norm courage is the exception.

At the time of the Mar-a-lago raid I wrote this:

The sheer panic on the left concerning a 2nd Trump term suggest to me something different.

Could it be that the left is even more corrupt than we think? Could it be that the stuff that they’ve been doing, enabling and coordinating is even more horrific than that worst conspiracy theorists have imagined? Could it be that the Epstein’s of the world are the norm for the left and not the exception and that they’ve only caught the one?

Given what we’re seeing in terms of fraud in Minnesota and the amount of Dems and their friends getting Epstein exposure these days this statement is becoming more and more apparent.

The President took some heat for his statements after the murder of Rob Reiner & wife by his own son. I would not have made those statements & think they were a bit crass. Said heat however is meaningless because:

  • It’s primaraly coming from people who never supported him anyways
  • Trump being a tad crass with enemies is the norm & not a shock
  • Many of these same people are still cheering Charlie Kirk’s murder

But for me the real question is this: If somebody spent the last ten years calling you a Nazi & trying to get you jailed would you be able to be gracious at the moment of their death?

Cue Jim Hacker:

One of the things that has become clear to me in the last year has been how much the steal of election 2020 has paid huge dividends for the nation in a completely unexpected way.

If the steal had been foiled everything from USAID funding to the fraud in Minnesota would likely never have been exposed. VP Mike Pence of the deep state would have steered the country to protect such folks & a lot of what has been going on for decades would have remained under the radar.

Instead Trump has spent the first year of his return not only actively working for the country but exposing evils that have been ignored and tolerated for decades.

This not only is “The Lord works in mysterious ways” squared but affirms what I consider the actual definition of faith in God which is:

Trusting that God knows what he's doing even if he hasn't told you

Finally the inflation numbers where “unexpectedly” excellent showing signs of an improving economy but to me the real sign of that was yesterday at work were I found myself on loan from my normal Inventory Control Duties to a client who had a burst in sales six days from Christmas keeping me on my feet for 8 hours.

One year ago all our “peak” temps were gone by Cyber Monday lasting only 4 days after black Friday.

Yesterday it has been 22 days since Black Friday and a good chunk of our temps were still at work.

I doubt I will see them on Monday as even a Trump economy can’t change the laws of physics & cause packages shipped on the 22nd to reach destinations around the country by the 24th but the fact they are still here (and the suggestion that a few will be kept on to deal with the returns season) tells me the economy is about to hit the accellerator.

If it does I suspect it will have the same effect on election 2026 as the fall of Atlanta did on the election of 1864

Five Nasty Surprises Under the Fedora: 15 Million Day, Oddly not Blaming the Gun This Time, Bluesky the Robespierre Wet Dream, Israel Doing what Nobody Else Wants to do For Them and More Red Pillings

As Usual the great Bryon York does a spectacular Job in explaining how the desire to falsely call Donald Trump a rapist was pushed by a Judge with an agenda. Alas agendas are not the same as the law as ABC and George Stephanopoulos found out at a cost of 15 Mil.

There are plenty of lefty influencers who are well paid that Trump can soak, he should go after every one.

It will be a lot of fun to see the Trump organization continue to sue these folks and make them pay.

Justine Bateman and I both noticed something interesting about the left’s reaction to the CEO murder.

So not only is nobody calling for Gun Control as Justine notes, but nobody is blaming the gun this time for the killing, or as it should be if the left was consistent celebrating the gun.

Apparently people are the killers when the left approves of the killing and guns are the killers when they don’t.

Speaking of the left and violence…

Well without risk until Jan 21st 2025 anyway.

If the French Terror had social media Bluesky would be their spot.

Remember when it was said illegal immigrants were “doing jobs Americans aren’t willing to do anymore”?

Apparently the Israeli’s are the “illegal immigrants” doing the job that the west wants done but doesn’t want to dirty their hands with…

…albeit it’s done out of their own self preservation.

Of course I suspect Jihadi’s will get all the nuclear weapons they want once they’re done taking over England.

There is a group of people who will never listen to any kind of conservative media because in their mind to do so crosses some kind of “purity test” so the only time they get any kind of message that penetrates their bubble world is if someone else chooses to report it.

Enter Stephen A Smith:

The number of people who follow Stephen A Smith who have likely never consumed conservative media is considerable and he is a significant enough black voice that the MSM blacklists him at their peril, so when he is reporting that the FBI admits to having at least 26 informants on the ground on J6, that’s going to open quite a few eyes.

It’s as if the whole corrupt mess is collapsing and Trump isn’t even sworn in yet.

The Bulwark on Election Night: An Army of Richard Riches

Sir Thomas More: But Richard, that’s a little bribe. At court they offer you all sorts of things, home, manors, manor houses, coats of arms. Why not be a teacher? You’d be a fine teacher; perhaps a great one.

Richard Rich: If I was, who would know it?

Sir Thomas More: You; your pupils; your friends; God. Not a bad public, that. Oh, and a quiet life.

A Man for all Seasons 1966

This weekend I binge watched Tulsa King (highly recommended) but because my wife didn’t start with me I had to backtrack so she could catch up so in between I popped onto Youtube and there was an election night reaction video of the Bulwark.

Now I had watched reaction videos of all the other networks but these people were supposedly the “true conservatives” who had left the party because of Trump and were now pushing things like abortion and embracing far leftist because that’s what true principled conservatives do if they don’t get the nominee of their choice.

Check out the reactions and the people there and you’d swear they were a parody. It’s as if they never met a normal working class person or left the presence of anyone outside of the beltway who was not of the donor class.

It was especially interesting to see these supposedly expert people scoffing at the idea that people were hurting from inflation and how horrible the electorate is. Oh and I can’t wait to see Jonathan Altar starting hiding illegal immigrants in his attic as he said he would do, we should check back in six months to see if it’s happening. For me the real moment was Mono Charen declaring how America was not special or extraordinary because we elected Donald Trump over a woman who could not win a primary to save her life and whose entry into the political world was made possible by servicing Willie Brown’s willie.

It was the classic SNL 2016 election skit only without Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock there to mock the cluelessness, but what it really was comparable to was watching a group of courtiers in say the 12th to 16th century who spend all their time around the King’s court hoping to curry favor. Go back and watch scenes from the classic movie A Man for all Seasons. You will recognize these folks as the ones rushing on and off the barge after Henry VIII or in the inquiry pressing Sir Thomas Moore to give an answer and you will especially recognize them as Richard Rich whose primary purpose was to gain a position, any position that was above the common people so that the world would recognize their position.

And if some had to give up conservatism that they once supposedly championed for years well that’s a small price to pay for being above the mere commoners.

Now in fairness the Bulwark is a business and their job is to earn, and since they can’t earn on the conservative side they’ll service the left to keep those envelopes coming. Now I can understand that, I don’t approve but I understand and perhaps in an honest moment they might see themselves that way, but I suspect not, that’s the real irony here.

Look at that video. Every single one of them think’s they are Sir Thomas Moore, standing up to the king risking all for the sake of righteousness. Not one of them perceives that they are in fact an Army of Richard Riches all hoping to get Wales for themselves.

Kinda sad actually.

I’ve got principles, and if you don’t like them, well, I’ve got others

Groucho Marx

There are all kinds of niche markets in the world. We bloggers are a niche market, comic book people are a niche market, Doctor who fans are a niche market, Candle Pin bowlers are a niche market. Model Train people are a niche market. Baseball simulation gamers are a niche market Pinball is a niche market.

And if there is one thing that is true about a niche market is it’s this. Niche markets can only support so many people or producers. If the number of producers exceeds the market eventually they will disappear, even faster if the market contracts which often happens if there is a brief bubble of popularity.

The woke left is a niche market. It seemed larger because most normal people didn’t want to have to deal with that idiocy and found it easier to go along or ignore them. Because it was a loud niche market with some billionaires who had money to burn behind them, they seemed larger than they were but eventually you reach a point where the billionaires don’t want to fund it and the advertising people figure out there are too few eyeballs to be worth the money they are paying. It’s one think to be accepted at parties but the shareholders still want their return.

That’s why you see the retreat of DEI everywhere. Once people stood up to it people realized just how unpopular it was and it had the potential to cost them money companies ran from it like the plague.

And that brings us to Joe and Mika.

It’s quite possible that they actually believed that Trump was going to lose, and lose by a lot and thus continued to play to the niche market their network in general and their show in particular choose to embrace. Sure they and most of the left calling Donald Trump a Nazi had no problem with him for 60+ years but this was a matter of power for the left so after puffing him up in the primaries as a sacrificial lamb they dropped him like a rock when he became a threat to the niche they served.

And so for eight long year they made their living banging the “Trump is Evil” drum.

Then the bottom fell out of the market, the first sign was the Biden debate, the 2nd sign was the Kamala campaign and election day solidified it.

MSNBC kicked ass on rating on Election night because a lot of conservatives turned on the channel to watch them squirm, now that the election is over there simply is not enough of a niche market to keep them paid. So what do you do when you’re a couple in your Sixties and late fifties and the prospect of your television career is looking bad because your niche audience is going away?

Why you break out of that niche.

Yeah this move is going to upset Olberman and Jen Rubin and the Ladies on the view, but it has the potential to bring in eyeballs that normally might not give them a first look let alone a 2nd.

And there is of course always the potential of Trump calling in which would send rating and exposure through the roof.

Those two things may be enough for advertisers to decide to say put and the alternative of doing nothing is not likely to bring in the bucks. They saw the advertisers return to X they know where the dollars and eyeballs are so they are trying to do what is the primary job of TV personalities, attract eyeballs.

Jen, Keith and Jojo it’s not personal, it’s strictly business.

Oh and all that Trump stuff about being Hitler and a dictator?
