Absolutely nothing to lose ...

Despite the threats from the Democrats about what they’ll do if Republicans try to fill the vacant seat on the Supreme Court before the election, Republicans should just go ahead and do it.  

Republicans really have nothing to lose. Even if they leave that seat open until after the election – a stupid and pointless move – it won’t change one damn thing.  Except to prove once again that Republicans don’t have the guts to stand up to bullies when they absolutely need to.  

Let me explain all the likely scenarios.  

Democrats threaten if they don’t get their way, if they take control of the Senate they’ll immediately move to expand the number of Justices on the Court to add more liberal Justices.  

If they take back the Senate they’ll move to do this anyway, regardless of whether that seat remains vacant until after the election, or Trump fills it now. They’ve been talking about this for years. It’s nothing new. They’ve wanted to do this since FDR.  

Next, they also say they’ll work to eliminate the Electoral College. 

Again, they’ve wanted to do this for a long time.  It’s also nothing new. They want to have the popular vote nationwide determine who becomes President.  That’s only because they’ve lost in the Electoral College while still winning the popular vote – mainly because of California and New York running up the numbers for Democrats.  However, to get rid of the Electoral College would require an amendment to the Constitution, which would take 10 years, minimum.  

Closely related, Democrats want to change the makeup of the Senate.  

They want to add Puerto Rico as a state, even though a lot of Puerto Ricans don’t want that. They also want to make DC a state, which goes against the original idea of government being in a neutral District of Columbia, not a state.  It’s not that they care about the people in either of these places, they simply want to pack the Senate with four more likely Democrat Senators. 

At the same time, they want to change how Senators are allocated.  Right now, per the Constitution, it’s two per state. Democrats (mainly those in more populous states like California and New York) say that isn’t fair. Why should sparsely populated states like Montana and Wyoming have the same number of Senators of, say, California? Shouldn’t Senators be allocated solely based on population? 

Of course not. That’s because, as much as Democrats hate it, we are a constitutional republic made up of states that each have equal representation in the Senate.  

All the threats from Democrats are a smokescreen. If they do – God forbid – keep the House and get control of the Senate and the White House, they plan to do all of the above anyway. 

Now, they won’t succeed because the American public doesn’t want any of this, any more than the public wants open borders and giving illegal immigrants full benefits including free healthcare.  Nor is the public in favor of public-funded abortion on demand with no restrictions. 

Democrats have devolved into the party of shitweasels willing to do and say anything to get and keep power. And to hide anything that might expose their duplicity.  

Their pals in the media help them every day with a hoax du jour, blatant lies, gross misrepresentations of facts, and omission of news that exposes Democrats as shameless amoral liars. Meanwhile, the media refuses to acknowledge anything positive from Trump or Republicans. Good news is all about Democrats; bad news, or barely covered news, is all about Trump and Republicans. 

So if a sitting Democrat decides to support Trump it’s a non-story.  

But if a deceased Republican’s spouse supports Biden it’s front-page news.        

Yet because the Democrats and media are so transparently dishonest, the public isn’t buying everything they’re being told which would probably surprise a lot in the media who live in their own world.  According to a recent public opinion poll 84% of those polled simply don’t trust the media, anymore.  You won’t see that covered in the mainstream media, however.  

Trump and Republicans need to do what they must, fill the open seat, and ignore the Democrat threats. If Republicans lose seats in the Senate because of this, as is possible, so what – most of those at risk were probably going to lose anyway. In some cases, the fight over the SCOTUS seat might help them more than they imagine especially if Democrats repeat their same antics during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.  

Plus, even if Trump and Republicans lose everything this time around it’s really only a short-term set back for a longer-term gain.  

Democrats won’t be able to do what they want: the public simply won’t stand for it. Packing the Court won’t happen. Puerto Rico and DC won’t become states.  They won’t be able to amend the Constitution to eliminate the Electoral College, or how Senators are apportioned. They won’t be able to execute the Green New Deal.  Nor will they be able to pull off a myriad of other progressive wish-list items. They may try, but the harder they try the worse it will get for them.

  
What they will do, however, is show their true stripes to the voting public.  Because of that, they will probably take a beating in the midterms two years later.  So at best, if Democrats win the House, Senate, and White House this time, they won’t hold all three for long.

  
Meanwhile, if Republicans hold the line and confirm a new Justice to Ginsburg’s seat, there should be another Trump-appointed Justice on SCOTUS. Someone conservative and young enough to serve for decades.  

We hope they die ...

To be precise: “We hope they fucking die.”

That’s what BLM supporters chanted as they blocked entrances to the emergency room trying to take in  two cops ambushed in their parked patrol car – one shot in the face, the other in the forehead, at point-blank range – in Los Angeles. This happened on Saturday.  

On Sunday, the NFL promoted and celebrated the same BLM. The NFL, the players, and the play-by-play announcers all groveled before this violent, racist, pack of cop haters and Marxists.  

Before every game, our national anthem was played followed by something that’s now the “black national anthem,” whatever that is.  Whole teams stayed in their locker rooms while these were played.  Others kneeled and locked arms in a show of “unity.” In acts of shameless and unwarranted ass-kissing, some players wore the names of blacks shot by police, including those of rapists, wife beaters, child abusers, violent gang members and drug dealers. The NFL allowed teams to paint end zones with messages supporting social injustice protests. 

Again, this is the same NFL that not long ago forbid players from kneeling in prayer, wearing eye strips with scripture, or displaying on the field anything else that might offend anyone. But supporting cop killers, rapists, and child abusers shot by police?  That’s just fine. 

As someone noted online, a woman who was raped had to watch professional athletes celebrate her rapist as a hero to black people by putting his name on their helmets. 

The NFL was actually late to this party for self-loathing whites. The NBA, MLS, and MLB, and who knows else, already beat them in the headlong rush to side with the real racists in all this. 

Why do I say that? Because if you think race is the ultimate determinant of everything, you are in fact a racist. Judging everything and everybody solely by race is the definition of a racist. It doesn’t  matter if you are white, black, Asian, or whatever, you’re a racist if you think race alone determines every outcome. 

Yet if you have the temerity to suggest that all lives matter, you’ll be targeted as a racist – which makes no sense at all, because saying all lives matter encompasses all races equally.  Only a hardened racist would believe only one race’s lives matter more than any others.

So if you claim black lives matter more than those of any other race, which is what BLM supporters say, then you are as much of a racist as the worst white supremacist. 

Which is the reason I’ve had so much of a problem with the whole “racial injustice” movement. 

And BLM in particular. 

They are racists.  They are bigots. They are everything I was raised to despise. 

They are also liars.  They lie about black deaths at the hands of police. They lie about rampant discrimination against blacks.  They lie about systemic racism.  But worst of all, they lie about how black lives matter when they disregard the astonishing rates of blacks killed by other blacks; they refuse to admit it, but only some black lives matter.

The lives of black cops don’t matter. The lives of black police chiefs don’t matter.  The lives of black business owners don’t matter.  The lives of black children shot by black gang bangers don’t matter.  The only black lives that matter are those when some black male is shot by police, usually as a result of trying to injure or kill that cop while resisting arrest. 

There’s nothing high and noble about BLM. There’s nothing altruistic about it either. It’s not helping blacks get a better education, get better jobs, live in safer neighborhoods or anything else.  If anything, it’s worsened every one of those things for those it claims to represent. 

BLM is more than happy to associate and encourage mostly white Antifa types – the black-clad brownshirts of their movement – to attack police and wreak havoc. Sure, they say they are a non-violent organization, the same way the Klan could call themselves a social club. 

But make no mistake: there are BLM members guiding every element of the destruction and harassment; they are clearly the ones with the bullhorns threatening white neighborhoods, accosting diners, directing the looting, demanding the defunding of police departments and, yes, calling for the murder of police.   

I have yet to understand why so many don’t seem to understand that BLM is a fraud.  It’s so obvious.  Their demands are ludicrous and perhaps intentionally unattainable.  If some brave soul were to broadcast their ridiculous demands – point by point – most people couldn’t believe what BLM supporters actually say it stands for. From eliminating police altogether, to breaking up the nuclear family, to abolishing bail, to emptying prisons – it’s all crazy stuff.    

BLM is nothing more than a grievance business designed to extort money and wield political power ultimately to destroy our culture, our history, our shared values, our economic system, and our way of life. Why? Because they are essentially Marxists. 

They know they can’t rebuild an entire society in their own twisted vision until they destroy the current one.  That requires the destruction of all critical institutions, such as religion, public education, law enforcement, the judicial system, government, the business community, and everything else on which the public traditionally relies on for stability. 

Not all blacks agree with BLM.  They want to see more police – not fewer – in their neighborhoods.  They want criminals to go to in jail, not released the next day.  They are ashamed to see BLM and Antifa types loot their local stores, burn down black-owned businesses, torch their neighborhoods, and beat or kill black business owners trying to defend their own property. They are appalled to see black criminals celebrated as heroes. 

A black female vlogger recently said she was going to piss off a lot of people by saying this, but if black people are tired of being stereotyped as criminals by whites, maybe blacks should stop feeding that perception and stop rioting, looting, and murdering each other. 

Or chanting they hope two police officers with serious wounds after being shot at close range “fucking die,” as they try to block them from getting to the emergency room.  Sickening.

These are the people the media, Democrats, professional athletes, and rich white liberals are praising as courageous social justice warriors fighting police brutality and racism?  

WTF is wrong with them?

We shouldn't have to put up with this much bullshit ...

Every now and then there’s just so much crazy going on that you have to wonder if we’ve all slipped through the looking glass into a completely alternate reality.

I’ve reached that point.  It’s time for a course correction.  Time to get back on track. 
 
There are just so many lies being told every day and too few people call these out as complete bullshit, which, frankly, is what they are. How they get away with this escapes me. Anybody with Internet access can easily find the facts that definitively contradict this crap, but for some reason, nobody is willing to stand up and call a spade a spade anymore. 
 
Supposed “fact checking” sites are among the worst offenders when it comes to lying. Snopes, Media Matters, WaPo, and PolitiFact – sources the media and Democrats say can be trusted and cite all the time – cannot be trusted at all. These left-leaning “fact checkers” are so biased it’s laughable.  Doesn’t anyone else find it strange that the only people they “fact check” are Republicans? I guess we’re all supposed to believe that only Republicans and Trump say things that aren’t true; no Democrat ever does – that’s why they never bother to fact check them.
 
Biden can say stuff that’s completely false – like 120 million Americans have died from Covid-19, how his proposed child tax credit would bring 720 million women back into the workforce, and how he was arrested trying to attend Mandela’s funeral, and the “fact checkers” are nowhere to be found. But let Trump exaggerate the size of a crowd and they leap on that like white on rice. 
 
So when Joe says he wants a real-time fact checker at any debate with Trump, well of course he would. He has nothing to fear because they’d let him slide and only “fact check” Trump.  They could be his very own Candy Crowley, who famously – and erroneously – “corrected” Romney in his debate with Obama, while letting Obama slide. 
 
Then there are the professional liars like Donna Brazile, Richard Goodman, Jessica Turlock, and Juan Williams. They are pettifoggers at best. Abject liars most of the time. They pick things out of context, conflate disparate things, and baldly lie to make their case.  That case always seems to be that Republicans and Trump in particular are racists, white supremacists, and evil. 
 
As a perfect example, they constantly misrepresent what Trump said about the incident at Charlottesville when protestors gathered to stand against tearing down historic statues of Confederate leaders and soldiers.  

A handful of Neo-Nazis and white supremacists mixed into the otherwise mostly peaceful protestors.  Counter protesters and Antifa types armed with shields, helmets, bats and other weapons, also showed up spoiling for a fight. Violence erupted when the much larger number of Antifa folks attacked the few Neo-Nazi clowns trying to leave.  It got very ugly fast; the Antifa people did a serious beat down of the Neo-Nazis and white nationalists there. Then a far-right loon ran over and killed one of the counter protestors in the chaos.   
 
That’s the true story of what happened that day.  There’s plenty of video.   
 
When Trump was asked to respond to what happened in Charlottesville, he never said there were fine people on both sides of the violence, which is what Biden and the professional media liars like Brazile, Goodman, Turlock, and Williams keep claiming. He said there were fine people on both sides of the debate over whether statues like that of Robert E. Lee should be taken down. He made it a point to publicly disavow any support for white nationalists or extremists of any kind, as a matter of fact. 
 
They all know this. Yet they lie about it every time.  
 
When they get called out on lies like this, which is often on Fox but nowhere else on broadcast or cable TV, they speak louder, interrupt, and talk over anyone who tries to get the facts straight. They try to bulldoze their lies over the facts.          
 
The morons spouting this nonsense know they are lying. They know they are distorting the truth. The lies are so obvious and transparently false. On the off chance they don’t know they are lying, they are stupid at best or delusional at worst.   They’ve clearly lost touch with reality altogether. Nobody should be giving them any credence – they’re either bald-faced liars or pathological liars. 
 
Either way, you can’t believe a word they say. I suspect most people don’t. Let me put it another way: I sincerely hope most people don’t believe a word they say.  I know I don’t. 
 
There’s more: I'd bet most people have heard that Democrats are the party of the working and middle class, while Republicans are the party of Wall Street, big corporations, and the rich. That's what Democrats and the media have been saying for years. 
 
That’s another big lie. 
 
The biggest donors to the Democrat Party are unions, Wall Street types and the super rich, not just the rich-rich. You know, Goldman Sachs partners, pop-culture celebrities, hedge fund and Silicon Valley tech billionaires, and the trial lawyers’ associations, to name but a few.  Not a pauper in the bunch.  When they nominate a long-time shill for the credit card industry in Joe Biden, and as running mate another Wall Street darling in Kamala Harris, the media still cheer them as fighters for the common man and woman, and foes of big business.  Unlike those evil rich Republicans.
 
The media know who these two are. They also know exactly who’s dumping in big bucks on their behalf; it’s all a matter of public record. But the lies just keep coming.
 
Joe's been running TV spots highlighting his humble beginning in Scranton, PA – a real working-class town. Growing up there, the implication is, made Joe the champion of ordinary working men and women.  The spot leaves out that Joe’s family moved to Delaware when he was seven. So he didn’t really grow up in Scranton, but Delaware.  But they try to make it seem he grew up there by showing a clip of a young Joe probably in his teens without disclosing where he was then. 

Spoiler alert: It was probably in Delaware.  
 
Did you know Joe led us out of the great recession and built a booming economy?  That’s what another of his TV spots claims. That’s laughable. Joe has always been the equivalent of teats on a bull.  He’s never accomplished a damn thing, seriously, not one damn thing – well except for the 1994 Crime Bill he authored and pushed which put thousands of blacks in prison. And now he tries to walk away from that at every opportunity. 
 
While he was in Pennsylvania recently, he said he was never in favor of banning fracking; an industry that’s created thousands of good jobs there. Of course, that was blatant lie. He agreed he’d “absolutely” ban all fracking and fossil fuels when Sanders cornered him in the Democrat debates.  There’s video. But now Biden claims he meant he’d oppose fracking and drilling on Federal lands only.    
 
While I’m at it in terms of willful misrepresentation, there’s Dr. Jill Biden. 
 
Not long after Joe’s first wife died in a car accident, he had an affair with his best friend’s wife that ended in a nasty divorce.  That best friend’s wife was the now Jill Biden. 
 
Next, do you know what Dr. Jill is a doctor of?  Like many people, you may have thought she might be a medical doctor of some kind, since the media keep referring to her as Dr. Jill Biden. Nope. She has her Ph.D. in Education; most people with a doctorate in Education find it ridiculously pretentious to call themselves “Dr.” outside of academia. My father had an MA in Far Eastern History and a Ph.D. in international studies – both significantly more difficult to attain than Dr. Jill’s credentials; even he didn’t refer to himself as “Dr.” (And he loved pretension.)  
 
What really got me going recently, though, were the lies related to the riots. 
 
Make no mistake, when you see people throwing rocks, fireworks, and Molotov cocktails at police and burning cop cars, looting stores and setting them ablaze, and beating up anyone standing in their way, that’s a riot.  I don’t care what bogus “cause” started the riot, a riot is a riot – a riot is never a “peaceful protest”; it may start that way but when property is destroyed, looting begins, and police are called in to quell the violence, that’s a riot.  No matter what the media and Democrats said for months. 
 
Suddenly, only because polling showed the chaos and violence Democrats and the media tacitly and sometimes overtly endorsed was starting to drag down Joe’s numbers, they’ve decided that maybe the destruction and looting has gone too far. Not that anyone engaged in burning, looting and attacking police is to blame, mind you, but that the rampant lawlessness – mainly in Democrat-run cities – that’s been obvious to most of America should be addressed. 
 
Which Joe and the Democrats, and the media have finally decided to do.
 
They’ve decided it’s all Trump’s fault.  Seriously. 
 
You have to admit, it takes big ones to blame Trump for the riots. 
 
Then again, they blame Trump for the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdowns that took the greatest economy in our history, and the lowest unemployment rates, and cratered both. 
 
I guess they believe if you’re going to lie, go big or go home.
