‘In Search of the Righteous Candidate’ (My Newswithviews Column, Oct. 10)

In pictures: Harris and Walz kick off campaign with rally in ...

How did we ever sink to this? 

Kacklin’ Kamala and Tampon Tim–living proof that Democrats will vote for anybody, absolutely anybody, with a “D” after her name.

And the GOP, meanwhile, is infested with holier-than-thous who will only vote for The Righteous Candidate–some fringie who’ll be lucky to get 1% of the vote.

In Search of the Righteous Candidate

I think we’ve reached the point where we can genuinely wonder, “Is there no one that Democrats will refuse to vote for, once the Party nominates the villain?” How low is too low for Democrats?

It used not to be that way.  My family was always Independent: always wanted to vote for the best candidate, no matter what the party. And we could find them in either party.

I was a reporter in the 1970s. I knew lots of good guys who happened to be Democrats.

There must be some left, somewhere. But durned if I know where to find them.

‘We All Wind Up in the Same Place’ (God Forbid!)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Kacklin’ Kamala’s socialist slip is showing. From time to time she speaks of an ideal society where “we all end up in the same place” (https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/10/what_s_wrong_with_equality_of_outcome.html). [Cue in desperate scream…]

How do we “all wind up in the same place”? There are many ways of doing that, none of them pleasant. War, plague, famine…

Oh, well, come on! The government will ensure equality of outcome.

All the ways they’ve ever found of trying to do that have only resulted in violence, tyranny, and failure.

The Democrat Party is running a pair of socialists for president and vice president. Unless the whole thing is a pretense, Kacklin’ Kamala and Tampon Tim really believe that an all-powerful government, with themselves in charge, can engineer equality of outcome. They’ll make damn sure you ALL wind up in the same place.

And it won’t be an easy place to escape from. Hell marketed as Paradise.

‘Bad Culture… Bad Politics?’ (2018)

The couch potato doesn’t even know he’s under attack.

I wrote this in 2018 and it only seems more applicable with the passage of six years–not less.

A fouled culture breeds more Democrats, who befoul the culture they’re born into. Or, as I say, Kill the culture and the culture will kill you back.

Bad Culture… Bad Politics?

That so much of this garbage is pitched to us and consumed by us–indeed, sought out by us!–as “entertainment” leaves one almost speechless.

If the Democrats win this one, next month… I think we’ve had it. Hasta la vista, baby.

Enter the Knucklehead

Vice-presidential hopeful Tim Walz embraces his small-town ...

The official self-described Knucklehead candidate

Wow! Tampon Tim Walz called himself a “knucklehead” in his debate with J.D. Vance last night (https://nypost.com/2024/10/02/us-news/tim-walz-warned-kamala-harris-he-was-a-was-a-bad-debater-during-vetting-process/). Who said leftist politicians never tell the truth?

Tim is running for vice president. The Democrat presidential candidate, Kacklin’ Kamala Harris, says she was “sleep-deprived” when she picked him for her running mate. One can’t help wondering how many big names said “Thanks but no thanks” before she settled for him.

So! For the top two jobs in the land, we have a word salad double-talker who’s sleep-deprived when making a major decision, and a self-described knucklehead. What could possibly go wrong?

Even so, millions of people will vote for them. God help us.

 

Kamala: Legalize ‘Sex Work’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

It’s like rooting for U.S. Steel, only different. It’s holisticly iconic!

Will this come back to bite her in the tuchas? Or will it be just another case of “Being a Democrat means you never have to say you’re sorry”?

Running for president in 2019, and getting hardly any votes, then-Sen. Kamala Harris called for the legalization of “sex work”–that’s “prostitution” in English.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kamala-harris-calls-for-decriminalizing-sex-work-insists-trump-is-racist

That was back when she used to answer questions. She has since learned never to answer a question. Don’t answer, just babble. If there were a Casey Stengel-Irwin Corey School of Double-Talk, she’d be their most successful graduate.

Casey, you’ve got competition

Now she’s discovered the word “holistic” and plugs it into whatever she’s saying

Honestly, I think there’s something wrong with her. I don’t like the thought of her with access to the nuclear launch codes.

‘I’m Me, He’s Him’ (My Newswithviews Column, Sept. 26)

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz bring back joy to Democrats and ...

Believe me, you don’t want to know what these two think is funny.

“Think big!” is advice given to many politicians. But I wonder if Kamala and Tim are thinking big enough. There’s more that they could do than just be president and vice president.

‘I’m Me, He’s Him’

I mean, the White House is a nice gig, but it’s only eight years and then you’re out. But if you star in a hit TV series, there’s no limit to how long you can last. And to be a Supreme Court justice is a job for life!

Can you appoint yourself to the Supreme Court… and be, like, president and chief justice at the same time?

Damn the Constitution, full speed ahead!

Another Assassin Tries for Trump

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Former President Donald Trump tees off at the 15th tee during a practice round at Trump National Golf Club on August 9, 2023 in Bedminster, New...

Now he can’t play a round of golf?

By now you all probably know there’s been another attempt–that makes two–to assassinate President Donald Trump, this time while he was playing golf. Unlike last time, the suspect is in custody (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/trump-assassination-attempt-live-updates-rcna171241).

What I’d like to know is why the lamestream nooze media put “assassination attempt” in quotation marks. What else do they think it could have been? The man had an illegal rifle from which he’d erased the serial number, a sniper scope, and was seen pointing the gun at Trump, some 400 yards away.

Local police caught him alive, then turned him and his car over to the feds–so who knows how long he’ll keep on living? As Long John Silver used to say, “Dead men don’t bite.” Remember Jeffrey Epstein. Oops–he offed himself before he could go to trial.

The suspect, a kook named Routh, already had 100 criminal counts against him in North Carolina. Too bad he never prayed in front of an abortion mill: he wouldn’t have been free to to try to kill a president.

Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy–murdered presidents (although T.R. survived his close call)–with a couple of attempts on Gerald Ford, and now Trump… Is this any way to run a republic? Or am I supposed to say “Our Democracy”? Which it isn’t.

How serious are we about protecting our presidents?

‘Our Democracy’ (My Newswithviews Column, Sept. 12)

Felons out, dissenters in! Welcome to Democracy!

You will search the Constitution in vain for any mention of “democracy.” Our country’s founders feared democracy and took pains to protect us from it.

“Our Democracy”

These days we hear the word “democracy” almost as often as we hear “iconic.” It is a vast display of hypocrisy, hopefully confined to this planet and not infecting the rest of the universe. We apply the term to jailing anyone who disagrees with the government and silencing free speech. That’s “democracy.”

And we are running out of chances to save ourselves from it.

Vote for Her, She Smokes a Bong!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Have we slipped back into the 1960s?

Sally Duval, a candidate for the Texas state legislature (try to guess her party!), has a new TV ad in which she smokes a joint of marijuana and then a bong–supposedly a promo for “safe, tested marijuana products.”

https://x.com/SallyForTexas/status/1833159804774461764

(“What this state needs is more legislators who get stoned!”)

All my friends, once upon a time, smoked pot. I refused to, which they thought a rather comical decision. Really sophisticated people get stoned! Then they say stupid things and giggle at bad jokes. I couldn’t respect that. They constantly pressured me to join them, but I couldn’t respect that, either. It was dreary. It was dull.

So now we’re going to have this in our government? Ah, well, how much worse can it get?

Don’t answer that.

 

Do I Watch the De-Bait?

Let’s see… what to do tonight?

The Big Debate, Trump vs. Kackle, dominates the nooze today. To the point where I’m already tired of it. If Kackle gets elected president, we’re done for.

I could always stream a British cop show. As for the debate, there’ll be plenty to read about it in the morning. “Harris did so much better than expected! Real presidential material!” Excuse me while I find a barf bag. I have confidence in Donald Trump, but none at all in our mainstream-lamestream nooze media.

It’s a beautiful sunny day and I’ve been outside working on Ozias, Prince Enthroned. I’m moving into the climax now. Queen Maressa has second thoughts about overthrowing the rightful king, but it’s probably too late to change course.

I got a lot of encouragement today from my neighbors while I was out there. It’s good to know there are people praying for you.

So I’ll say again what I said to the cancer doctor: “I will take this ____ hill! It doesn’t matter that I’m scared. I’ll take it!”

And I won’t give up on this election. It’s way too important for that.
