Twilight of the Never Trumpers

Original Article

Does anyone remember David French? He used to write for the National Review. He, along with his fellow anti-Trumper Kevin Williamson, performed one of the most infamous acts of professional self-immolation when they penned twin articles sneering that poor white communities "deserved to die," that whatever misery they suffer is entirely their own fault, and that the obvious fix to their problems is simply renting a U-Haul and moving to a better job market. It's one thing to not like Trump. It's quite another to caricature millions of his supporters in ways that would make Keith Olbermann blush.

“Faux Intelligentsia” They left one out. There is a big difference between book knowledge and wisdom. The worst, most vile of all of them is Rick Wilson. He’s the clown who resembles a wet cue ball who got rolled through a pile of loose cat fur. A real slimeball. Most of the others are not.

Of course I remember David French. He's on my "eliminate on sight" sub-routines linked to my "gunsight vision" Terminator infrared night vision sight. Yeah...French, I remember your sorry-ass corporate, global, unending war sorry ass self. I remember you.

Yes. I would add to his list the Cruiseship Conservatives at National Review. Among his many gifts to us, Mr. Buckley brought style, wit, and media savvy celebrity to the conservative movement. His successors at NR made their living off the conservative movement while selling us out.

The PR Fallout of JD Vance Joining the
Joe Rogan Experience: Let the Bromance Begin!

In the first five minutes, there were at least half a dozen profanities as host Joe Rogan and Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) recounted cute, adorable stories of young kids swearing, cussing, and dropping F-bombs. [Video] This ain’t your daddy’s Republican Party. Jeb(!) Bush couldn’t have done it. Neither could his brother of father — nor could the last GOP nominee prior to Trump, Mitt Romney. They’re too uptight and too puritanical to vibe with a dude like Rogan. It’s yet another reminder of how thoroughly the MAGA movement has overhauled the Republican Party: We’ve jettisoned the country club Blue Bloods and replaced ‘em with garbage men and McDonald’s workers.

Of all the zillions of timelines running on the Simulation Master Computer (which I suspect is located somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy), this one’s gotta be the Trumpiest. Here we are, in the waning days of the 2024 presidential campaign, and what’s everyone talking about? Garbage. Along with French fries. It’s strategically brilliant because it undercuts the Democrats’ call-to-action. The Harris-Walz campaign is running on three things: They’re not Trump Trump is Hitler Abortion Trouble is, when you define yourself by who you’re not, whenever the other person changes their behavior, your identity changes with it. In other words, you forfeit control of your own brand identity. So, okay, the Democrats are the Not Trump Party.

Former President Donald Trump praised his supporters Wednesday, calling them the “heart and soul of America,” one day after President Biden likened them to floating “garbage.” “Kamala [Harris] and Joe [Biden] call us garbage. I call you the heart and soul of America,” Trump told the crowd at a lively rally in Green Bay, Wis. “You are the heart and soul,” he reiterated. “You built our country. … far more than they built it.” “My supporters are far higher quality than Crooked Joe or Lyin’ Kamala,” Trump said, arguing that “you can’t lead America if you don’t love Americans.” Trump, 78, took the stage at the Resch Center –

An army of unelected bureaucrats stands athwart American progress and freedom, yelling “Stop” — which presidential candidate will beat the blob and unleash prosperity and dynamism again? It’s a no-brainer: Donald Trump. Just look at the utterly dismal regulatory record of the Harris-Biden years. Mountains of red tape. Metastasis of the HR mindset into every corner of the government. The asphyxiating climate has gotten so deadly that JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon just blasted it at a bankers’ conference in New York City: “It’s time to fight back. I’ve had it with this s–t.” So has pretty much everyone else.

Partial passwords for Colorado election machines were accidentally revealed on the secretary of state's website and have been available since late August, according to an affidavit accompanying a letter the Republican vice chair, Hope Scheppelman, sent to Jena Griswold, secretary of state. "The Colorado Department of State is aware that a spreadsheet located on the Department’s website improperly included a hidden tab including partial passwords to certain components of Colorado voting systems. This does not pose an immediate security threat to Colorado’s elections, nor will it impact how ballots are counted," a statement from the Secretary of State's Office read. So no "immediate security threat." How about later?

Actress Teri Garr has died at age 79. Garr died Tuesday morning in Los Angeles after a long battle with multiple sclerosis, her publicist, Heidi Schaeffer, confirmed to The Post. She is survived by her daughter Molly O’Neil, 30, and grandson Tyryn, 6. The late star was best known for her roles in the films “Young Frankenstein” and “Tootsie,” the latter of which earned her an Oscar nomination. Garr was born on December 11, 1944 in Lakewood, Ohio. She moved to Los Angeles and then later to New York to pursue acting. She started out as a go-go dancer and made appearances in six Elvis Presley musicals in the 1960s.

Soros-backed Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner sued Elon Musk for his $1 million giveaway. Rather than tackling the soaring crime, violent carjackings and retail theft in Philadelphia, Krasner is using resources to go after Elon Musk. As previously reported, Elon Musk promised to give away $1 million each day until the November election to those who sign his petition supporting the U.S. Constitution. At a packed rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month, Elon Musk wasted no time in following through on that promise, awarding a $1 million check to John Dreher, one of the attendees.

Far-left USA Today announced on Monday that it will not endorse a presidential candidate in the 2024 election. This makes USA Today one of the latest far-left major publications to steer clear of backing Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz, joining an unprecedented media shift that includes outlets like The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times. A spokesperson for USA Today told The Daily Beast that rather than endorsing a candidate, the paper plans to “provide readers with the facts that matter and the trusted information they need to make informed decisions.” But this sudden detour away from an endorsement speaks volumes about the lack of support Harris is facing.

It is unclear if Biancaniello was booked and charged. According to Val Biancaniello, the Democrats were discouraging voters from in-person voting on Monday in Delaware County so she encouraged voters to stay in line. “I was just taken away in handcuffs at the Delaware County, Pennsylvania Government Center for encouraging people to stay in line and vote,” Val Biancaniello said.

An ad that encourages women to lie to their husbands about supporting Kamala Harris is getting blasted on social media. The ad supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, which was released by Vote Common Good, was voiced by actress Julia Roberts. “In the one place in America where women still have the right to choose, you can vote any way you want,” Roberts says. “And no one will ever know.” In the ad, a woman wearing a bedazzled American flag hat votes for Harris. When she leaves the voting booth, her husband asks if she made the “right choice.”

President Joe Biden bizarrely bit three babies as he greeted the children of staff to his final Halloween party at the White House. Biden - infamous for his playful interaction with children at public events - also feigned fright at the creepy costumes of his young visitors alongside his wife Jill who was dressed in a full-body panda suit. The 81-year-old president was pictured biting the leg of a baby dressed as a turkey, chomping the toe of a child in an ice cream cone costume and nibbling at a third baby wearing a blue dress.

The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Virginia is entitled to remove noncitizen aliens from its voter rolls, siding with the commonwealth over lower courts less than a week out from the election. The order comes two days after Virginia attorney general Jason Miyares filed an emergency application, requesting that the Court stay an injunction that ordered Virginia to restore some 1,600 suspected noncitizens who are ineligible to vote to the state’s voter rolls. A federal appeals court upheld the injunction on Sunday, quickly prompting the attorney general to appeal to the Supreme Court.

President Trump called on a crowd of supporters to "forgive" President Biden after he compared the former president's supporters to garbage. "Wow. That's terrible," Trump said, invoking Hillary Clinton’s infamous "deplorable" remarks in the weeks before the 2016 election. "And then she said irredeemable. That didn't work out." The Republican nominee called on his supporters to forgive him during a packed rally at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. "Garbage, I think, is worse," he said. "But he doesn't know. You have to please forgive him."

The venerable Washington Post may or may not have been a force for good, but it certainly was great. They brought down Richard Nixon for crimes that were only modest by today’s inflated standards but serious at the time. They helped lose the Vietnam War – a war that was criminal, or just, depending on your view of history, but the losing of which was certainly a tragedy for the conquered South Vietnamese and most of the rest of the world. They won the Pulitzer Prize 76 times, and many of those times were back when the Prize rewarded true excellence.

ABC ignited a flurry of conspiracy theories after it aired what appeared to be official election results for Pennsylvania that showed Kamala Harris easily winning the key swing state — more than a week before Election Day. The shocking result popped up at the bottom of the screen during Sunday’s broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix by ABC local affiliate WNEP-TV, which services the northern part of the Keystone State. It showed the Vice President capturing 52% of the votes, compared to 47% for Republican challenger Donald Trump, with 100% of the precincts reporting.

The White House and its media allies ran a coverup for President Biden after he maligned former President Donald Trump’s supporters as “garbage” — going so far as to edit an official transcript of his remarks, to the outrage of conservatives and other critics who called out “flat out lying” by Democrats and their allies. Democrats went into damage-control mode Tuesday night due to the president’s trash talk, claiming that Biden hadn’t intended to demonize his party’s political opponents just seven days before voters head to the polls. “The President referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage,’” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has made a rare presidential endorsement just six days before the 2024 election. The former Republican Governor of California - who refused to vote for Donald Trump in 2016 - announced that he will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. In the shocking endorsement, the actor wrote: 'I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.' Despite that, the Terminator star, 77, said that it's time for the country 'to move forward', and that 'the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz'.

ABC has sparked wild conspiracy theories after mistakenly airing election results for Pennsylvania. The results appeared on the ticker along the bottom of the screen during a broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix by ABC local affiliate WNEP-TV on Sunday. It showed Kamala Harris taking the state with 52 percent of the votes, while Donald Trump's share was 47 percent. It instantly prompted claims of election rigging on social media, with one person tweeting: 'The cheat is on.' WNEP-TV said that the numbers came up on the screen in 'error' and that they had been 'randomly generated' as part of a test ahead of election night on November 5.
