Wow! Truck Driver Beats NJ Senate President!

leeduigon(patty)November 4, 2021

Edward Durr, winner of an astounding upset victory

A man with very little political experience, who had never held a public office, a truck driver who spent $153–yes, one hundred and fifty-three dollars–on his whole campaign, has defeated the president of the New Jersey State Senate (https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/after-spending-just-153-on-campaign-truck-driver-beats-nj-senate-president/3378682/).

Miracle!

Edward Durr, who spent $66 on Dunkin Donuts for his staff and $86 for cards and flyers, defeated Sen. Steve Sweeney, who’d been in office since 2002. Four years ago, Sweeney was re-elected in what some observers called “the most expensive legislative race in American history.”

Dare we say anyone can beat a Democrat who forgets to cheat? Or do the Republicans need to run more truck drivers?

Durr ran against high taxes (New Jersey’s famous for that) and high-handed COVID restrictions imposed by politicians who were insulated from the hardships that they imposed on others.

Our ruling class must be replaced before it ruins the country. May Durr’s election be a token of things to come.

The Democrat Blame Game

Gold star for Virginia! Not only did you reject Clinton bagman Terry McAwful as your next governor: you also ran a lot of Democrats out of the legislature. Bravo!

And now the real fun begins: watching the Far Left Crazy trying to explain its defeat (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/11/02/democrats-outraged-glenn-youngkin-defeats-mcauliffe-bllshit-crt-narrative-unchecked/).

*An MSNBC noozie blamed it on “relentless right-wing media.” Gee–where did he find any? This man needs a rubber room. He did stop short of blaming it on Rush Limbaugh, though.

*Another fat-head said it was because of “the racist dog whistle” of Critical Race Theory–which of course “isn’t real,” even though it’s listed as an “important resource” on the official Virginia Dept. of Education website. People truly, deeply, passionately hate Critical Race Theory, so Dems are trying to pretend their teachers’ unions haven’t brought it into the public schools.

There’s no such thing as CRT, Republicans just made it up.

*Another noozie: White people are just plain stupid. In addition to being evil.

I noticed all the way back in college that a lot of white liberals hated themselves for being white.

And we’ll have the rest of this glorious menu of defeat. We didn’t bring in enough illegal immigrants! We brought in too many! We didn’t run far enough to the Left! We ran way too far to the Left! This is going to go on for months.

I’m guessing Doddering Joe will be blamed for it. A) He won’t know what they’re talking about. B) He’s totally expendable; nobody likes him. C) He’s white.

Meanwhile–hey, you other states! If Virginia can do it, you can, too!

Help!

I’m all tied up this morning and I don’t know when I’ll be able to start posting.

Please feel free to browse the blog archive–thousands and thousands of posts, some of them guaranteed to be interesting.

Well, at least the sun is coming out.

Maybe I’ll get a chance to discuss Joe Biden’s announced plan top reward illegal aliens with our tax money, $450,000 each to every man, woman, and child that’s here illegally.

And if we don’t like it, he says–yes, he says–“81 million people voted for this agenda.”

That lie made even Satan’s jaw drop.

Biden Plan: Vax 28 Million American Children

leeduigon(patty)October 20, 2021

If you think the flap over forcing kids to wear masks in school is a big deal, wait’ll this kicks in.

Joe Biden’s “presidential administration” has a plan to “vaccinate” 28 million children aged 5-11 (https://dailycaller.com/2021/10/20/biden-vaccinate-children-pfizer-fda/).

Is this going to be another one of those like-it-or-not “mandates” handed down from The Big Guy in the White House? Will parents have any say in whether their kids get shot up with this experimental gene therapy?

Y’know, for two cents I’d post that old number by Napoleon XIV from 1966, They’re Coming to Take Me Away, and offer it up as music for our time.

Like I said, it seems they’re taking away big chunks of our freedom in hopes that they’ll only have to give little chunks of it back.

God grant we survive this full-scale assault on our republic. “Long may our land be bright with freedom’s holy light: protect us by thy might, Great God our King.”

Looks Bad, Smells Bad… Is Bad

I hate conspiracy theories. Criminal masterminds hatch a secret plot and next thing you know, Joe Blow on the internet knows all about it! I’d really rather not hear it.

But all this COVID stuff–I’m sorry, but it’s looking less and less like a medical crisis and more and more like a dress rehearsal for a global government. All those mandates! A “mandate” is not a law, voted on by our elected representatives: it is a command handed down from on high. You will not find “mandate” in our Constitution.

This business looks bad and smells bad. It’s like they’re thinking, “If we can temporarily take away a lot of their freedom, maybe we can get away with giving only some of it back! And if we can keep the pandemic going long enough, maybe they’ll get used to being cattle-prodded by the government. Maybe they’ll even get to like it!”

I’m not privy to any conversations among the global government crowd. I don’t have any secret sources. I’m just telling you what it looks like to me.

History tells me freedom is fragile, there’s always, always, always someone out there who wants to take it away from us–usually so they can take everything else, too. The COVID panic was a gift-wrapped golden opportunity for the enemies of liberty. They weren’t about to waste it.

Medicine does not insist on exactly the same treatment for each and every one of tens of thousands of patients. Medicine does not threaten people’s livelihoods if they don’t obey. Medicine does not make end-runs around the normal processes of self-government.

When I see the behavior of our COVID establishment, I don’t see medicine. I see politics.

Southwest Airlines Buckles, Won’t Fire Unvaccinated Employees

Isn’t that the same as “unpaid leave”?

Dishonest Journalist Alert: Don’t you love those headlines that say “Supreme Court blocks” this or that challenge to The Mandate–and then you read the story and find out it was a hearing with just a single justice, not the 9-judge court. So if it’s one of the Far Left judges, you’re going to get a Far Left ruling. But the noozies–now a “protected class” on Facebook–are always trying to deceive the public. Anyone who ever told the truth on a CNN broadcast would probably spontaneously combust.

Meanwhile, Southwest Airlines has abandoned its plan to fire all employees who haven’t been “vaccinated” by Dec. 8.

(Why did you put “vaccinated” in quotes? Because it’s more dishonesty! Those COVID “vaccines” are not vaccines in the sense we’ve always understood the word. They are more a kind of gene therapy–and no one knows what the long-term results might be.)

Is everyone a liar anymore? “Not fired, Caesar! We have put them on unpaid leave.” Like there’s a difference?

United Airlines wanted to can everybody who didn’t consent to receive the gene therapy shot, but a federal judge put a stop to it.

And the airline pilots’ union (I didn’t know they had one!) has also come out against the so-called vaccine.

So… the Mandate Mob isn’t finding America a pushover like Australia: we’re not going to let them treat us like convicts. We probably were wrong to allow them to do “lockdowns” in the first place; but that’s because we erred in taking the government’s good intentions for granted. :Patrick Henry would have warned us against ever making that mistake.

Maybe–God willing and helping!–America can lead the world back to freedom.

But first we’ve got to replace our, uh… leaders.

‘UN Calls for “Unprecedented Societal Change”‘ (2018)

Citizens of the world, one and all!

The corrupt dictators’ club that is the United Nations, a couple of years ago, highlighted The Supreme Struggle Against Climbit Chainge by suggested that part of it would have to take the form of Unprecedented Societal Change. They never explained exactly what they had in mind, so it was left up to satirists to speculate.

UN Calls For ‘Unprecedented Societal Change’

There are ideas as bad as world government–that whole transgender thing, for one–but there are certainly no ideas that are worse. The would-be masters of the world want global government so bad, they can taste it. Climbite Chainge couldn’t quite do it for them, but now they’ve got King COVID working for them.

O Lord of hosts, smite them…

Hunter Biden’s Art Really Sells!

leeduigon(patty)October 8, 2021

Opinion | Sneak Preview! Paintings from the Hunter Biden Art Show. - The Washington Post

Eat your heart out, Van Gogh.

Incredibly gifted artist Hunter Biden, son of, um, “President” Joe Biden, recently sold five paintings at a Los Angeles art show for $75,000 each (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/10/07/report-hunter-biden-sells-five-art-75000-each-los-angeles-show/). And if you think that wasn’t really all that much–well, those paintings were only reproductions! The originals are on sale for up to half a million smackers each.

No one at the show wore face masks, because King COVID knows better than to molest his most loyal fans. Hunter was there in person, although he always says he doesn’t know who buys his paintings. Honk if you believe him.

This is so hopelessly corrupt, it’s almost funny. The son of a sitting president, best known for being a degenerate crack-head who’s gotten rich by a long series of shady deals with shady people, can peddle off his daubs at five and six-figure prices–and the buyers will never ask The Big Guy for any favors in return. Don’t honk if you believe that. I do not want to think anyone believes that.
