The economic, physical, and cultural carnage caused by the Biden/Harris regime is everywhere. 

To view the economic carnage all you have to do is shop for groceries on a regular basis. Walking down the main street of your town and seeing all of the closed stores and restaurants will also be illuminating.  Reading the lists of stores, restaurants, and other businesses closing each day online and in newspapers will also provide abundant evidence.

The physical carnage caused by the Biden/Harris regime has taken many forms.  The remaining devastation left over from Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky is a perfect example of this, along with the damage caused by BLM and ANTIFA rioters.  Add to the list a slew of shuddered factories.

The cultural carnage was caused by the Biden/Harris regime’s affinity for cultural Marxism in all of its many forms.  Thousands of lives have been ruined by their affinity for transgenderism.

To deny the carnage caused by the Biden/Harris regime is to deny reality itself.  Unfortunately, the denial of reality is one of the central pillars of Marxism.  Reality to those on the political left is simply an illusion.  The truth, facts, and logic are all subjective to leftists.  Feelings and ideology are all that matters to them.

The mainstream media exists to be the propaganda arm of the political left.  They shovel a distorted reality where all is perfection thanks to the genius of Biden and Harris.  They shovel that fantasy like the manure that it is.  Most unfortunately for the United States, just about half of the population believes every lie and distortion the media shovels unquestioningly.

Kamala Harris is an even bigger empty suit than Joe Biden.  She is a complete cipher, a clueless nonentity.  The media made her out to be an intellectual giant and based on the polls half the population believed this twaddle.

One of the things you will see in football particularly when a team is down by 3 scores or more are teams going for it on long 4th downs.

This is not an odd choice. The idea is that you have no chance of changing the path of the game going south without taking long chances, even chances that are unlikely to work out. So you find yourself going for it on 4th and long in the 3rd or early 4th quarter in such games.

If you manage to convert you maintain the chance to come back and win the game. If you fail, well you were going to lose anyways so you might as well take the shot.

Of course if you fail and the lead becomes four or five scores, that when you take out your starter and play your subs to keep key players from getting hurt.

And that brings us to Kamala on Fox.

For weeks Kamala ducked everybody and everything white Donald Trump chris-crossed the nation and took on all comers.

The seeing that this was not having intended effect she started doing interview with friendly location who where willing to ask seemingly softball questions (the view), edit the interviews to omit problems (CBS) or rig that question and audiences to her favor (univision),

Not only has this failed but he viability level has reached such a low point that SNL feels free to make fun of her on the theory that it doesn’t matter.

And thus the 4th and 20 hail mary passes go up, Interview on Fox, possible appearance on Joe Rogan, going to venues that she has dodged because unless something changes the margin will be as Trump puts it “Too Big To Rig”.

Alas the Fox interview appears to be yet another disaster the only question is does she:

  1. Continue to do these 4th & 20th interviews in the hopes that she hits gold?
  2. Pull back and become invisible again so that she doesn’t hurt down ticket Democrats any more than she already is?

I’m betting #2 by the end of next week but the smart thing to do is to fight like the Hail Mary passes were complete

The only election Lyndon Johnson ever lost was due to it being stolen. It was stolen for his rival Pappy O’Daniel not by O’Daniel’s allies but by his enemies because they wanted Pappy, the sitting governor of Texas gone. So when the chance came to steal that senate seat after Johnson made a rare mistake in reporting a key district early they jumped in with both feet and Johnson would have to wait six years to steal that senate seat back from Pappy’s successor Coke Stevenson.

And that brings me to something a friend of mine said in conversation yesterday that frankly I didn’t think of.

As you all know by now Kamala ended up picking the rather incompetent governor of Minnesota Tim Walz over the VERY competent governor of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro as her running mate. This was likely because a pick of Shapiro might disturb the vital “death to Israel” and “death to Jews” vote that has been very vocal lately.

My friend noted that Shapiro is one of those rare things, a competent Democrat who has not driven his state into the ground. Furthermore he has ambitions for higher things and there is one thing we can be sure of: If Kamala Harris somehow wins in 2024, he wont be running for president until 2032.

BUT if Trump is elected he is instantly a lame duck meaning that he can run in 2028 against a J.D. Vance who will likely be bloodied in some tough primaries as there is actually a pretty deep GOP bench.

Do I think Shapiro would try to steal Pennsylvania FOR Trump? Nope, that would be an unforgivable sin for too many Democrat voters, but he might choose to do the next best thing, not allow them to steal it for Kamala.

Not only does preventing such a steal raise his cred with swing voters within the state when his re-election comes around but would allow him to co-operate with a Trump administration on energy which would produce a boom there that he could take credit for. It would be a powerful contrast to California the disaster where his chief rival Gavin Newsom is presiding over.

I must confess none of this had occurred to me but it DID occur to my friend who also notes that with the woke currently in retreat Shapiro might be able to marginalize that wing of the party, blame them for any Trump victory and in a sense use that to purge them from their place of power.

The one fly in the ointment is that simple demographics says to me that he can’t purge the “death to the Jews” wing but you might recall when he was being considered for the VP slot he was already hinting at compromises to appease them and of course in four years there might not be a Hamas or Hezbollah for them to support.

Will it work out this way? I don’t know but I do find the argument credible and thus has given me real hope, because the only way the steal worked last time was because everybody was on board. If Pennsylvania doesn’t play along the likelihood of successfully stealing the national election is low and the risk of an investigation from a crusading Trump AG and Justice department who would be highly motivated to investigate any steal in Arizona, or Michigan or Wisconsin is just too dangerous for a party that can’t stand scrutiny.

And frankly for all their anti Trump furor the Democrat party and the media didn’t want Kamala and were talking about her as a liability right up until Biden forced her on them.

In the old days when a party was facing a bad loss they basically took the hit and started planning on their comeback, if my friend is right the Democrats might actually be forced to play it on the up and up, not because they love Trump but because of the ambitions of a key Democrat in a key spot who might just decide to force them to do the right thing (and the smart thing in the long run) to satisfy his own personal agenda.

It’s so crazy it just might work.

As the devastation from Hurricane Helene is unveiled on TV and the internet, it is difficult to refrain from drawing parallels to the devastation unleashed by Hurricane Katrina.  

The incredibly inept response to the devastation by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden bears a strong resemblance to the grossly incompetent response to the aftermath of Katrina by George W. Bush: People are Dying in Hurricane Helene’s Aftermath While Government Helicopters Remain Grounded (townhall.com)

As time marches on, the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and catastrophic damage is becoming increasingly clear. Stranded Americans still are not getting the help they need and the situation is dire. 

According to Republican Congressman Michael Walz, a number of military helicopters that could be used to rescue people, in places where road access in the mountains of North Carolina has been cut off, have not been deployed by the Biden administration. 

People are suffering and dying. All they are getting from the Biden regime are photo ops.

The damage across a number of southern states is being described as “Katrina level destruction,” in comparison to Hurricane Katrina — which destroyed New Orleans in 2005, caused billions of dollars in damage and thousands of deaths.

Hundreds of people are still missing while cell service and clean drinking water are still unavaible in a number of areas.

Is the lack of a meaningful response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene politically motivated: Was This the Reason for FEMA’s Tardy Response to North Carolina Hurricane Victims? (townhall.com)

President Biden told reporters there was nothing more that he could do for the people of Western North Carolina. 

Reporter: “Do you have any words to the victims of the hurricane?”  

Biden: “We’ve given everything that we have.” 

Reporter “Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?” 

Biden: “No.”

Five days later and many towns and cities have yet to see any disaster relief – relief, by the way, that’s paid for by the hardworking taxpayers in places like Western North Carolina.

The Democrats sent hundreds of millions of dollars to Ukraine. They tend to the needs of millions of illegals, but when Americans need help, nobody at FEMA answers the phone.

Why is that? Maybe it’s because that part of the country is filled with Republican voters. Who knows?

Not enough life saving supplies are reaching the devastated area because: Biden-Harris Used FEMA Disaster Funding For Illegal Immigrants (thefederalist.com)

The Biden-Harris administration took more than a billion tax dollars that had been allocated to the agency responsible for American disaster relief and used it to offer services for illegal immigrants.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) allocated nearly $364 million in the fiscal year 2023 and $650 million for the 2024 fiscal year to the “Shelter and Services Program” “to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),” according to the government’s website.

Thanks to the Biden Regime, FEMA is now completely woke: FEMA Website Admits Keeping You Alive Isn’t Its Top Priority (thefederalist.com)

According to FEMA’s website, storm preparation doesn’t even rank among the top two priorities of the federal relief agency. FEMA’s stated goals include, first, instilling “equity as a foundation of emergency management,” and second, to “lead whole of community in climate resilience.” The goal to “promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared nation” ranks third under an administration obsessed with promoting identity politics at every level of the federal bureaucracy. When President Joe Biden was sworn into office, one of his first appointments was former White House National Security Adviser Susan Rice to lead the Domestic Policy Council. She was tasked with requiring agencies make “rooting out systemic racism” a focal point of their mission.
