Giffords Blew It in Touting Gun Control's Efficacy
Posted By: Hazymac, 10/27/2024 12:26:55 PM
For quite some time, Democrats have been campaigning on the idea that contrary to what Republicans have said, violent crime is down. The Biden administration is handling things and there's no reason for anyone to be concerned about being gunned down in a parking lot over their cell phone or car keys. However, that seemed to ring hollow to a whole lot of people. After all, the news reports sure don't look like violent crime is down. Yet a whole lot of people had a lot vested in telling you that it was, particularly gun control groups like Giffords. After all, President Joe Biden signed a major gun control bill into law.

There is a tide in the affairs of men, as Shakespeare said, and now, two weeks before election day, that tide has swung decisively toward Donald Trump. Forget the establishment polls. The betting sites show him leading by nearly thirty points. He’s ahead in every last battleground state, according to RCP. Embattled Democrat senatorial candidates, including Bob Casey, Sherrod Brown, Jon Tester, and Tammy Baldwin have abandoned Harris and allied themselves with Trump. Both the LA Times and WaPo have refused to endorse Harris. There are more registered GOP voters today than at any previous point in history.
As for Mrs. Harris-Emhoff… well, “collapse” is the polite word.
Once upon a time, America used to have Election Day. Now we’re being threatened with Election Week.
There’s no reason for it. The year is 2024. We can order a toaster and have it delivered overnight from another state. We hear about an event seconds after it happens. Yet somehow despite insane budgets, we’re told that it’s impossible to do in 2024 what we were able to do in 1944. During wartime.
Election Week may have hit a bit of a snag after the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that counting mail ballots arriving after Election Day is wrong because it’s… Election Day, not Week, Month or Year.

Fetterman's Clarity
9 replies
John Fetterman is the Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania who suffered a serious stroke in the course of his campaign. If he is not at the limit of his recovery he is still recovering. Yet a brain-damaged John Fetterman has distinguished himself from the Democrat pack with his undiluted support of Israel and a clearer understanding of Israel’s current ordeal than some of the speakers at President Trump’s rally last night, to take just one example close at hand. (John wrote about them in the adjacent post.)
Fetterman not only cuts through the fog, he expresses himself with admirable concision, as in his interview with the left-wing writer Lulu Garcia-Navarro

Question for the American people: How well do you know Kamala Harris?
We know Donald Trump extremely well. Not to wax all Eastwoodian, but when it comes to Trump, we already know the good, the bad, and the ugly. We know all about McDonald’s, the divorces, the money, the accusations, the successes, and the hair.
He’s transparent.
In fact, given the global population boom and the rise in alternative media, you could make a compelling argument that more content has probably been produced about Donald Trump over the past 10 years than about anyone else on the planet. And that ain’t hyperbole, folks — that’s almost certainly a fact!
The obvious disclaimer about how close this election is and not to take anything for granted aside, does anyone think Kamala Harris is on the verge of winning this election? Like, legitimately? In the past few weeks, her lead in the RealClearPolitics averages has disappeared, and Trump now has the lead in the national average. (X) Sure, the polls could be wrong like they were in 2022, but just look at the Harris-Walz campaign lately. They're enlisting celebrities to handle her final pitch and duping her supporters into thinking they're about to see a Beyoncé concert to boost attendance at her rallies.
And of course,

A total of 194 players will be competing in this week's LPGA Qualifying Series in hopes of punching their ticket into December's final stage of qualifying school (Q-School) to earn an opportunity to earn an LPGA card. Among the nearly 200-person field is transgender golfer Hailey Davidson, whose inclusion may align with LPGA's current gender policy, but not with the vast majority of fellow competitors.
Davidson advanced through the pre-qualifying stage of Q-School in August after finishing in a tie for 42nd and was allowed to do so despite more than 275 female players voicing their concerns over a biological male competing in women's golf.

Hitler praise: ‘If people still follow
this fascist pig…’ 20 replies
The ladies of The View discussed a report that claims former President Donald Trump praised Hitler, predictably losing their minds. The topic of discussion was the released audio recordings of General John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, who claimed the former president would make positive remarks about Hitler including saying he “did some good things.”
It started with Alyssa Farah Griffin, Trump’s former director of strategic communications, who can’t believe people would not believe General Kelly because he’s “a four-star general” who was “so highly regarded by everyone in Trump’s West Wing.”
“I mean, I just can’t believe that for four years people have been warning about this.
World War III is well underway, both conventional wars, as in NATO versus Russia via Ukraine, and the US playing both sides of a battle between Israel and Iran and their proxies. There is also a psychological war underway.
This is the war against the First Amendment in America and the longstanding Western concept of freedom of speech in many other countries. Misinformation and disinformation are the new enemies, concepts known only in the eyes of the beholder.
One man’s disinformation is another man’s speaking truth to power. Who is the referee? We, the people, or the administrative state?

The Democrats' flying monkeys in the mainstream media have been rending their garments over the way Donald Trump talks about them since he first hit the campaign trail back in 2015. They believe that he is unfair and mean to them.
He is really just honest though.
Most Republican politicians at the national level are timid souls who spend their professional lives cowering in fear of the MSM Dem propagandists. These GOP weaklings know that the MSM hacks deeply despise them, but still hope that they may one day get a little bit of praise from The New York Times or one of the Big Three nightly network news broadcasts.
There is a compelling reason that the Supreme Court has regularly ruled that falsehoods are protected speech. The Court openly recognizes that falsehoods can be harmful and may sometimes be quite harmful, but the Court also recognizes that efforts to determine which information is true and which is false are far more harmful to our democracy. The line between whether content can be labeled true or false, or whether it is simply viewpoint disagreement can be blurry and very much in the eye of the beholder. This is especially true of political content and policy debates. This is also the fundamental premise of the First Amendment, which protects free speech

Americans should prepare for “unrest’ if former President Donald Trump completes the greatest political comeback in modern American politics, Democrats told the Wall Street Journal on Monday.
The potential for Democrats to perpetrate political violence undermines their narrative that Republicans, and especially the America First movement, are a threat to democracy.
“I think there’ll be some violence. I think there’ll be workplace fights. There’ll be fights at kids’ birthday parties. I think they’ll be protests and will turn violent,” Mark Halperin recently told Tucker Carlson.
Resistance groups, according to the Journal’s Joshua Chaffin and Valerie Bauerlein, believe citizens should be “bracing for unrest” if Trump wins:
Nevada’s Supreme Court on Monday ruled mail-in ballots without postmarks can be counted three days after Election Day.
The Democrats use mail-in ballots to cheat so the Trump campaign and Nevada GOP filed a lawsuit against the Nevada Secretary of State arguing against the state’s law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted after the election.
Nevada state law allows mail-in ballots with postmarks to be counted up to four days after Election Day.

Vice President Kamala Harris said she would take a cognitive test in response to former president Donald Trump’s insults about her low intelligence, challenging her opponent to do the same.
Harris responded to Trump’s Friday remarks in a nearly three-hour interview with podcast king Joe Rogan, in which the GOP nominee called Harris “a very low IQ person” and said she needs to take a cognitive test.
“Sure, I would challenge him to take the same one,” Harris said when asked by CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell over the weekend whether she’d take a cognitive test.
“This is what he has resorted to,

The long political career of Mitch McConnell (R – KY) is winding down in the same manner as previous RINO Senators such as John McCain, Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake, Bob Corker, etc – with betrayal, vendettas, and a repudiation of the conservative base. McConnell, the current Senate Republican Leader is actively trying to defeat incumbent Senate conservatives who are running for re-election, and he is making it clear that his role in his final two years in Congress will be to align with Democrats to thwart President Trump should Trump be elected to a second term.
MAGA comedian Tony Hinchcliffe sparked fierce outrage after hurling insults against Latinos in a series of purported jokes during his opener at the Trump rally in Madison Square Garden Sunday.
“I welcome migrants to the United States with open arms and by open arms, I mean like this,” the “Kill Tony” podcast host told the crowd — with hand gestures signally “no.”
He added: “It’s wild and these Latinos love making babies too, just know that — they don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country. Republicans are the party with a good sense of Hinchcliffe, 40, cackled after taking the swipe,

Disaster Area Block Emergency Early Voting Locations 17 replies
The havoc wrought by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina brought disaster to homes and families, but that has not stopped Democrats from blocking the approval of emergency early voting sites in the heavily Republican area. The refusal to act forced the GOP-led state legislature to intervene.
Democrat-run local elections boards in McDowell and Henderson counties have failed to approve additional early voting sites in the disaster-stricken area, despite increasing calls for more access to voting. Both counties voted for Donald Trump in 2020.
“Ensuring the right to vote is upheld for western NC citizens devastated by Hurricane Helene should be a non-partisan issue,
Multiple Republican lawmakers have denounced comments from a speaker at former President Trump’s rally in New York on Sunday about Puerto Rico.
At the rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe said “I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now,” adding that he believes “it’s called Puerto Rico.” The comments from the comedian resulted in mixed reactions from the crowd.
In response to a report from The Hill on the comments,
On Sunday, Kamala Harris tried to mislead another church in Pennsylvania but was interrupted by one of the attendees who firmly rejected her.
Kamala opened her remarks in Church of Christian Compassion in West Philadelphia by invoking a religious duty to vote, suggesting that casting a ballot for her was aligned with God’s will—a statement that garnered both laughter and applause from the congregation.
“In just nine days, we have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come. And on this beautiful Sunday morning, I am reminded God expects us to help Him,” Harris declared. “We got work to do.”

Bad Bunny threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday by sharing a video of the Democratic presidential nominee shortly after a comedian at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally made crude jokes about Latinos and called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” angering artists and some Hispanic Republicans. Bad Bunny, whose official name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is one of the most famous artists of the moment. His backing could be a boost for the Harris campaign as it tries to bolster its support with Latino voters, among whom Trump has been working to gain ground.
Well, I guess we can dispense with the quaint notion that unsecured steel "ballot boxes" deposited around California, Oregon, and Washington are secure. If anyone should hold those beliefs after reading what just happened in the Pacific Northwest, then you should probably have that person held on a 51-50 until they snap out of their delirium.
Overnight in Portland and Vancouver, in what are literally attacks on democracy, "incendiary devices" — IEDs — were used to incinerate "hundreds of ballots" in two ballot boxes overnight in Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, Wash.
Perhaps the stream of resignations at the Washington Post over the last few days will prove a feature rather than a bug for Jeff Bezos. After the Amazon multi-billionaire ordered the Post to pull its endorsement of Kamala Harris, staffers and editors erupted in outrage, while readers canceled subscriptions. Several staffers announced their intent to resign in protest over the paper's refusal to take an official stand against Donald Trump.
Having those staffers out of the way may help Bezos' reported overall strategy to restore ideological balance to his newspaper. The New York Times buried that in their report on Friday evening that Bezos intends to broaden interest
