Hey, this election is not about your feelings!

The choices in this election are evidently Donald Trump and Not-Donald Trump. Nobody is voting for Trump’s chimeric, charlatanic opponent, but many are voting against Trump. Those Against-Trump voters fall into three camps. Camp 1 comprises people who genuinely disagree with Trump on the issues. I think these voters are mostly wrong, but I grudgingly respect them. At least they’re analyzing the issues, even though they’re coming to the wrong conclusion. So, OK . . .

Two countries share the Caribbean island that is called Hispaniola. The west side is Haiti. The east side is Dominican Republic (which shares practically nothing with Haiti except that island, but it’s racist to point that out).
“Failed state” is an understatement to describe Haiti. It’s one of the poorest, most dangerous places on earth. You can scarcely call it a nation. Gangs run the government. It’s been eight years since the last election in Haiti. But no matter; the elections are all rigged anyway..The State Department has honored Haiti with a “Level 4 Do Not Travel” advisory.

President Trump, or are they just rooting

Shortly after Donald Trump was inaugurated after the 2016 election, a so-called comedienne posted a picture of herself holding Trump’s severed, bloodied head. That apparently passes for comedy among Democrats.
In a presentation of Julius Caesar in the venerable Shakespeare in the Park production in New York City a few months later, a likeness of Trump was cast in the role of Caesar. I don’t need to remind you what happens to Caesar in the end.
The violent rhetoric from Democrats just keeps on coming, through Trump’s first term, into this year’s re-election campaign, and right up to weeks before the election.
When I was a kid, I had a bad temper. I suppose in today’s psychobabble, they would say I had an “anger-management issue” and perhaps they would give me a handicapped parking pass or other special privileges. But back in the day, I was just a kid with a temper.
One summer day when I was about 11, when my parents weren’t home, my brother and sister locked me out of the house for reasons I don’t remember (but they were probably good ones).
A back door to the house was sliding glass.
Hunter, it seems, just can’t get a break. First, he gets convicted of all three counts on an illegal gun purchase. That doesn’t sound like much but it carries a potential 25-year sentence.
Bad luck, that conviction.
This week, his trial for tax evasion was to begin. At the last minute, he trotted out a scheme where he pleads guilty without admitting guilt. (It’s a lawyer thing.)
The prosecutors were having none of it, and the judge was skeptical.
So then, Hunter just entered a straight guilty plea on all nine counts. They carry a potential 17-year sentence.
If he were sentenced to the maximum on both the gun and the tax charges,
Joe Biden’s quiet quit
3 replies
The latest craze among lazy people is “quiet quitting.” That means they quit working, but don’t tell their company. By doing it that way, they continue to collect their paychecks.
It’s easy to “quiet quit” in an age when objective measures of productivity are out of fashion because they reflect badly on bad employees whose feelings must be spared, and it’s especially easy when employees “work” from home.
In my opinion, it’s theft.
Which brings us to Joe Biden.
Kamala Harris has done more flips than a transgender Olympic gymnast. Here’s a sampling:
In her aborted 2019 campaign, she promised to ban fracking. That’s not a popular position in swing state Pennsylvania, and so now she promises not to.
She used to support “Medicare for All,” a great-sounding name for a program that would abolish private health insurance and financially wreck the existing Medicare program. Now she says “never mind.”
She mocked President Trump’s construction of a border wall as a “medieval vanity project.” While Vice President, she supported her boss’s abandonment and demolition of what Trump had constructed, and welcomed the ensuing invasion by over ten million illegal aliens.

People are funny about racoons. These flea-bitten, sometimes rabid, garbage-eating vermin with no visible means of support, elicit, in some people, feelings of love.
A woman in Canada was feeding dozens every day. When she died – of cancer, not rabies – her dying request to her husband was that he continue to feed the racoons. He has done so. And they’ve been fruitful, or at least they’ve multiplied.
A woman in Indiana feeds 25 or more a day. She buys 50-pound bags of dog food for them.
A woman in Colorado found what she called “a baby racoon.” She took it home and adopted it.
Barack Obama was elected in 2008 on his vague promise of “hope and change.” It was a shrewd strategy. He played into Americans’ perpetual dissatisfaction with their elected officials. Who doesn’t want change in the political system, and what better thing to hope for?
Moreover, by running mostly on a slogan, he became an empty vessel for people to fill with their individual hankerings. If you hoped that college would be changed to make it tuition free, then Obama’s your man because, after all, he did promise hope and change.
Secret Service helter-skelter
5 replies
The phrase “helter-skelter” has a storied history (not that we’re burdened by the past, anymore). For centuries it meant something like “confused, disorderly and hurriedly.”
In my lifetime, it was the name of a heavy-metal song by an overrated pop group out of Liverpool with mop hair and skinny pants. A weird, murderous cult figure misinterpreted their song as a prediction of race war in America, maybe because it was on an album they called the “White Album.” (Yes, “White” was capitalized, and they never did produce a “Black Album” or even a “black Album.”)
In short, the meaning of “helter-skelter” over the years has been, well, helter-skelter.
Kamala is not as stupid as advertised

In the death throes of his presidency (at least) Joe Biden threw his DEI hire, Kamala Harris, to the back of the bus. Then off it. And then under it.
The Worst President Ever promised/threatened that if he were to withdraw from the 2024 race, his $200,000,000 in campaign funds, plus or minus, would go to her.
Left unsaid was what everyone knew: She’d waste it because she was unelectable.
Joe’s threat became less threatening as time went on and campaign donors went away. Moreover, his physical state became shakier, as did his mental state.

Trump Supporters ‘Deplorables,’ Says
it’s ‘Too Kind a Word’ 33 replies
Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doubled down this week on calling half of former President Donald Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables.”
Clinton reflected on the infamous and divisive comment she made during a fundraiser in 2016 in a Washington Post op-ed published on Wednesday, adapted from her new book Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty. In the article, the former secretary of state recalled a meeting she had with a former white supremacist who now works to deprogram people leaving hate groups as an entry to discuss her “deplorables” comment, and said the term is “too kind a word”
There is currently a major manhunt underway by US Marshals for Nathan Wade, the former Fulton County investigator and DA Fani Willis’s lover.
Jesse Watters broke the news Thursday evening on FOX News.
Jesse Watters: Lover boy, Nathan Wade is missing. The House Judiciary Committee, which is investigating Georgia DA Fannie Willis, needs Wade to testify at a hearing tomorrow on their love affair. But no one can find the guy. They’re trying to serve him, but he’s flown the coop, and now the US marshals are in a manhunt to track him down. Have they checked the conduct?

Mayor Sadiq Khan Urges Americans Not to
Reelect Donald Trump 26 replies
London’s Labour Party Mayor Sadiq Khan is urging Americans not to reelect Donald Trump in what is a clear example of foreign election interference.
Democrats in the United States spent years pushing the idea that foreign election interference from Russia and other international actors got Trump elected in 2016. Where are they now?
Of course, anyone who has looked at what has become of London on Khan’s watch might consider this as a campaign contribution to Trump.

Coca-Cola is facing boycott calls after people on social media revealed that the company was not allowing “Trump 2024” or “Jesus” to be placed on the cans.
While people attempting to personalize cans with messages such as, “Trump 2024” or “Jesus loves you,” have received messages stating that the name is “not approved,” other messages such as “Harris Walz 2024,” “Satan” and “Allah” were reportedly allowed, according to the Daily Mail. Messages supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, satan, and Allah were reportedly allowed prior to the company fixing a “glitch,” according to the outlet.
Hooters - known for its scantily-clad waitresses - is the latest American restaurant chain facing financial problems.
Bosses at the chain are in urgent talks with lenders and advisers as the popular chain tries to address $300 million of debts, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.
Earlier this year, Hooters shuttered around 40 'underperforming' restaurants including locations Florida, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia as it bid to cut costs. But debts are mounting and more drastic action is needed for the 41-year-old brand.
If Hooters cannot refinance its debt, it would have to consider bankruptcy and more closures.

The WNBA on Wednesday issued a statement blasting fans for “racist” behavior and vowing to “monitor” them in the stands — and even call the police — after Connecticut Sun All-Star Alyssa Thomas went on a tirade against “racial comments" during her team’s two playoff games against the Indiana Fever.
I think in my 11-year career, I’ve never experienced the racial comments [like] from the Indiana Fever fan base. It’s unacceptable, honestly, and there’s no place for it. We’ve been professional throughout the whole entire thing, but I’ve never been called the things that I’ve been called on social media,

New York Mayor Eric Adams Alleging He

A judge on Thursday unsealed a federal indictment against New York Mayor Eric Adams accusing him of taking bribes and illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources. Adams’s residence was searched earlier in the day.
Adams faces five criminal charges, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, prosecutors said in the indictment. Adams is accused of accepting benefits from foreign businesspeople and a Turkish government official who officials said were trying to influence him.
The mayor, who became the first New York City mayor to be criminally charged while in office, issued a video statement Wednesday denying the prosecutors’ claims. The accusations, he added, are “entirely false” and “based on lies.”
Some 127 Pizza Hut restaurants across five states in the South and Midwest are at risk of closing for good.
The franchisee who runs them has put them up for sale after filing for bankruptcy in July due to mounting debts..
It is all linked to a major financial bust-up between Pizza Hut's parent company and franchisee EYM Group. Some 15 Pizza Hut locations that EYM ran in Indiana and Ohio were abruptly shuttered at the end of June as a result of the dispute. They remain closed.
EYM has now asked advisory firm National Franchise Sales to help find a buyer for a further 127
On January 6, 2021, nearly five hours passed between the breach of the Capitol perimeter and the arrival of a National Guard contingent ready and waiting to deploy just ten minutes away. Had the National Guard arrived within that first hour, “January 6” would have no more historical resonance than any other day on the calendar.
Any number of people bear the blame for this calamitous security failure, but that list does not include the two most frequently cited scapegoats, the D.C. National Guard or President Donald Trump.
Of the thousands of words of sworn testimony, some of the most revealing came from Colonel Earl Matthews.
California Democrat Derek Tran is running for Congress as a “decorated Veteran” and proudly says that he enlisted at age 18 “to fight in Iraq, serving the country that had given him and his family so much." The son of Vietnamese refugees, Tran enlisted in the Army Reserve and says that "in 2003 [he] was called to active duty for the Iraqi conflict" and that he "served during Operation Enduring Freedom in 2003." The tagline for his logo reads, "Veteran for Congress," and in interviews and campaign materials Tran references his military service, saying his time in the Army taught him to be "mission-focused"
It’s that most wonderful time of the year in New York. I mean of course the time when the United Nations General Assembly is in session.
There really is nothing like it. If you can’t get down a couple of blocks on foot you can at least console yourself that some African despot is holed up in his 5-star hotel.
And if you can’t cross town in a car then you can be safe in the knowledge that some Arab potentate is raiding the minibar in a hotel of their choice.
But at least you know that the real action is going on over on the floor of the United Nations.
Billionaire George Soros is known for writing massive checks to Democrat candidates and funding a network of leftist dark money organizations under the disguise of his "Open Society Foundations.” Adding to his resume, he now owns hundreds of U.S. radio stations.
The Federal Communications Commission approved a decision to allow Soros to purchase 200 Audacy radio stations across 40 U.S. markets just weeks before the 2024 election— a move that has never been done before. This means the Democrat megadonor will be able to reach more than 165 million Americans as they begin to cast their votes.
