Biden’s… ‘Surge’? Really?

Shaking hands with his greatest supporter

Just last month SloJo’s approval rating was in the tank, hovering around 35%. Now it has suddenly surged to a comfy 47%–thanks to what Forbes.com calls “a recent stretch of accomplishments” (https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasreimann/2022/08/17/bidens-approval-rating-surges-after-series-of-unexpected-wins/?sh=1bb971da3b0b).

Huh? What? Did a parallel universe just scoot past me? What accomplishments? Can anybody name one?

Well, sure–just lie! There is no inflation. Our border is secure. Gas prices are tolerable. No spike in the crime rate. Nobody turning the FBI into a partisan goon squad.

And we’ve got these weird polls (Rasmussen, for one) claiming that everything looks hunky-dory for the Democrats and they’ll win in November, keeping their stranglehold on America and pushing transgender to their hearts’ content, etc. And various media sages warning that the Republican leadership doesn’t really want to win and would be more comfortable losing–and it’s not the first time I’ve heard that.

Our politics is getting increasingly mysterious.

God help us. Pray harder. He might deliver us.

 

Democrats’ Revenge

FBI 'raided' Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, former president says - Los Angeles Times

Here come the goons, here come the goons!

New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin is upset by the FBI goon squad’s raid on Mar-a-Lago (https://nypost.com/2022/08/13/ag-merrick-garlands-raid-of-trumps-mar-a-lago-is-a-farce-of-law/). I also heard him denouncing it on the radio. What’s going to happen to our country, he wonders, if we set a pattern of each new president using the apparatus of government to take revenge on the competing party? Crikey–it sounds like an episode of The Godfather.

Silly rabbit! Democrats don’t care! They don’t care if they tear down the country, as long as they’re in charge of whatever’s left of it.

Plutarch described the waning days of Rome’s republic. Every faction had its own goon squad, armed bands looking for victims on the streets: it wasn’t safe for anyone to venture outside to vote. It’s not a pretty picture. And that’s how they lost their republic.

Ooh! You voted for the candidate who lost! The next knock on your door will be the FBI. Honk if you want to live that way.

 

They Want to Scrap the Constitution

We don’t need no stinkin’ republic!

Leftids don’t care what they have to do to get control over other people’s lives. Control of whole countries suits them even better.

So what about controlling the people of the United States?

Simple!

We don’t need no stinkin’ Constitution!

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/08/22/ivy-league-professors-reclaim-america-from-broken-constitution/

Such is the conclusion, published with great enthusiasm in The New York Times, of two chimpanzees being paid to act as law professors at Harvard and Yale. Well, you hear “Harvard and Yale” and you know it’s crap, don’t you?

See, the Constitution, say the chimps, is “famously undemocratic.” Duh. That’s because it’s the constitution of a republic, stupid. Not a “democracy.” But they want to “pack the Union with new states,” abolish the Electoral College, and set up some kind of hell-hole in which they hold all the cards.

Yeahbut, yeahbut! Without that pesky Constitution, Congress could just go full-speed ahead with abortion and “labor rights”! Gee, if that doesn’t tempt you, what will?

So we have these “law professors” and a major newspaper advocating the overthrow of our republic. Once upon a time in Rome, that was a capital offense. When it ceased to be, when they really didn’t care about their republic anymore, Rome ceased to be a republic and became the Caesars’ sandbox.

I think our Caesars will be even worse than theirs.

‘The World the Libs Would Build’ (2017)

Five years have passed since I wrote this; and the danger has grown greater, not less. The world’s self-proclaimed elites are out to enslave us, and if they half to kill us all to do it, that’s okay with them.

The World The Libs Would Build

Look what they did to us in the “pandemic”–and they’re just getting started! What wonderful new powers will vote-by-mail give them? They’re already calling most of us “useless eaters,” fit only to be sedated by drugs and video games.

Call upon the almighty Lord of Hosts: He can cut them down.

Hillary’s Hubris

No sooner had the rogue FBI raided President Donald Trump’s home–seeking evidence of “potential (!) mishandling of classified documents”–than Hillary Clinton, two-time loser in the presidential sweepstakes, came out of the woodwork with $32 caps that read “But Her Emails.”

That refers to the thousands of classified documents she mishandled–and later destroyed–while she was secretary of state for *Batteries Not Included. She had confidential, classified emails stacked up on a private server–a lapse for which a low-level State employee would have been imprisoned.

Speaking of lapses, here’s what she really looks like.

1.1901883-289460966

So, yeah, she’s out there rubbing it in our faces, reminding us that she totally got away with trashing thousands of special government papers. She sez her little hats are sold out, but they can print up more. The money will go to her “Onward Together”–“onward” to what? (don’t ask!)–Political Action Committee.

Go ahead, Hillary–run for president in 2024. I double-dog dare you.

Run as many times as it takes to destroy the Democrat Party.

They raised the stakes this week, raiding President Trump’s home.

They deserve to go down the tubes with Hillary. Someday “I’m with Her” will be a thing they’ll wish they’d never said.

New Thought Crime: ‘Election Denial’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Democrats have been trying for years to get “Climate Change Denial” declared a crime, punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. They’re still working on that, but now they’ve come up with another offense that they think ought to get you into a world of hurt–

“Election Denial” (https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/shove-election-denier-straight-up-your-a/).

Far Left Stupid think tanks have been fuming over “the myth of voter fraud”–hell’s bells, there ain’t no voter fraud! Joe Biden spends most of the campaign hiding in his cellar, nobody comes to his rallies… and he still gets 81 million “votes” (heh-heh), more than Obama got, by Jove! Nothin’ wrong here.

Now, you must understand… it’s only Election Denial when Republicans do it. After Election Day, 2016, Democrats everywhere spent every single day for the next four years denying Donald Trump’s electoral victory. Never coulda happened! We was robbed! Hillary’s the rightful president! Robert “Meat-head” Reiner even declared that Hillary Clinton should just “take over,” election be damned.

When Democrats do it, it’s not Election Denial. Denying 2016 is not Election Denial, but denying the travesty in 2020… is. Got that?

At least now we know that what they want is a “mild species of dictatorship” backed up by a “flexible” Constitution that lets them crush anyone who gets in their way. They’ve made that crystal-clear.

They’ll still get the chucklehead vote. They won’t have to cheat for that.

 

Libs Demand Christians ‘Apologize’ for Gospel

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

First Things First

Mother Teresa… “Christian supremacy”?

Well, they’re running wild out there. No question about that.

Inspired by the Red Pope’s latest apology tour, complete with pagan “smudging ceremony,” statist secular liberals world-wide are demanding that Christians “apologize” for preaching the gospel and sending out missionaries to make converts (https://www.theamericanconservative.com/apologizing-for-the-gospel/).

Maybe the Church should also apologize for setting up hospitals and orphanages, stopping human sacrifice, campaigning for women’s rights in countries where there had never been any such thing as women’s rights… and giving hope to the hopeless, comfort to the poor and needy, feeding the hungry–

Why did they do those things?

Because those things are Christianity in action.

There’s no one so anti-human as a humanist.

Yeah, let’s all wail and gnash our teeth because the Aztecs’ bloodthirsty paganism is no more. And they’ve stopped burning widows alive in India. Christians stopped the slave trade, too.  But libs in the US (at least at Harvard), Canada, and Australia say it was all just “Christian supremacy” and shame on us!

Our Lord Jesus Christ told us that would happen. But He commanded us to do good even if the world hates us for it. Which apparently it does.

Moses asked, “Who is on the Lord’s side?”

We’re finding out, aren’t we?

Can Our Universities Be Saved? (Hint: No)

Che Guevara: The face that launched a thousand...

Pop the college balloon–don’t go.

I just read a piece in Chronicles, by Paul Gottfriend, entitled “The Difficult Task to ‘Dewoke’ American Universities” (https://chroniclesmagazine.org/web/the-difficult-task-to-dewoke-american-universities/), in which he and other academics try to imagine reforms that will get our universities back on the right track.

Dudes, you’re overthinking it. Big-time.

You are not going to get Far Left dindles to stop being Far Left dindles, and firing them all is out of the question. If you want the nation’s universities to stop being black holes of cultural and political Marxism…

Don’t go. And don’t send your kids there, either.

How badly does anybody need a degree in Superhero Studies? It would take all week just to list the ridiculous, useless, and very often intellectually stultifying nonsense trotted out as “education.” And college costs a lot. Some grads will spend the rest of their lives trying to pay off their student loans.

“Everybody has to go to college! You can’t get anywhere in life unless you go to college!”

This assumption is just plain wrong. If everybody goes to college, the whole business gets watered down, the universities bloat up with silly courses and meaningless, worthless degrees, and the effect is the same as having no college at all.

Don’t go. Earn money instead of wasting money. At the very least, you’ll be spared endless hours of getting nagged and bored by Che Guevara wannabes.

If America’s commitment to the colleges were to be cut back by 50%–or even more!–who would ever notice? Besides professors and administrators who suddenly had to look for honest work. I doubt they’d find it. But the rest of the country would get by just fine without them.

You don’t need a university to learn the things you need to learn. Stay in college long enough, and you might never learn them.

 

Where Are the Crazy Leftids?

I had several errands to do this morning, and at each store I visited, I got into conversations with others. The substance of these little chats was: stupid New Jersey is governed by villains, thieves, and fools, look at the mess our country’s in, and how in the world do we get out of it? And in short, no one in any of these conversations expressed even a ghost of satisfaction with the way things are in our country, our state, and our town.

But things are all screwed up, and they get that way because there are people who screw them up–sometimes on purpose, sometimes because they’re incompetents.

The people who made a mess of my town weren’t in those stores today. They sit on the borough council, the board of education, and the library board. Somehow they keep getting elected, keep on doing harm, keep on saddling us with foolish, costly programs and policies–we can’t get rid of them! Kick one out of office, and two more take his place.

Somehow their follies in governance never hurt them but only hurt the rest of us. (Yes, they saw to it that we had a Drag Queen Story Hour at our library! No town in America is small enough to be safe from that.) The big ones shield themselves in gated communities with high security, have enough money that inflation doesn’t matter, and anytime they please, hope aboard a private jet for some luxury location. So sure, why not–of course they can impose their weird visions on small towns, big cities, and whole countries. It won’t hurt them!

How long does this have to cook before it boils over?

They’ll Cheat Again in November

Rep. Claudia Tenney

[Thanks to Susan for the nooze tip]

You know I hate to do nooze on the weekend; but if I hold this item off till Monday, I’ll forget it.

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) has now spent about a year warning the American people that the Democrat Party will again employ massive cheating to win this year’s mid-term elections. For example this, from 2021, https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/claudiatenney-electionintegrity-illegals-vote/2021/12/16/id/1049031/ .

In March of 2021 “President” Joe Biden issued an executive order to allow agencies of the federal government to… well, to play on the Democrats’ side in elections! To the tune of $1 billion in ballot-harvesting schemes. Housing and Urban Development, the Small Business Administration, and other agencies will be playing “Get out the vote!” in November. But only votes for Democrats. Real and not-so-real. All paid for with tax dollars. Everybody’s tax dollars.

Well, how else are they going to survive? Name a Democrat policy since 2020 that hasn’t been an unmitigated disaster. Can’t do it, can you? That’s because there’s no such thing. So they have to cheat or else get wiped out and lose control of both houses of Congress.

If they win this time, we’re finished.
