Thoughts on the election

As expected, leftists are playing this as a repudiation of Trump.

It isn't, of course, but that's how they're playing it.

For years now, I've made the claim that the primary motivator for the left is hatred.

As a result, leftists elected a communist/terrorist/hamas supporter as mayor in New York.

In Virginia, leftists elected a psychotic with visions of assassination and murdering children dancing in his diseased brain... not to mention a governor who refused to condemn/demand the removal of the nutjob who is now going to be the top lawyer in the state... a very white woman that Obama urged people to vote for as opposed to the black lieutenant governor who was running against her... showing his race baiting horseshit of demanding that black men vote for the Pole Dancer since she magically turned herself into an African-American for purposes of the election.

In Maine, they now support a nazi SO nazi that he has the SS death's head tattooed on his right pec. 

If a Republican had a tat like that? leftist howling over SecWar Hegseth's Christian tattoo would be barely a whisper in comparison.

THAT'S the variety of hypocrisy we've come to know and despise from the democrats.

And in New Jersey, they elected a governor who shared Governor-Elect Spanberger's love of the mental case now AG Elect in Virginia.

This, of course, illustrates the massive gaps between leftists who would cheerfully vote for a brick if it had a "D" after it's name and those who actually care about this country.

The five examples here are yet another proof of that.

Someone by the name of Jefferson once said "the government you elect is the government you deserve."

And those who voted for these outcomes DEFINATELY deserve the governments they elected.

As for this being some sort of referendum  on Trump?

It isn't.

I'm not saying that because I'm GOP.

I'm saying that for a more simplistic reason... Simplistic but accurate.

Mamdani, for his part, bought votes.

Free buses. Government stores (which have and are failing everywhere it's been tried... mainly because of shoplifting and other criminal activities these monuments to leftist stupidity have been tried) additional billions to be spent on his illegal alien voter base, and the ever popular "defunding the police."

It's sad that the "Never Forget 9/11" vote forgot and elected tis communist/terrorist/hamas supporter into this position of responsibility.

On his watch, crime will explode. As will drug use and homelessness.

But the basis for my conclusion is simple: in November of 2024, Trump picked up only 30% of the vote in NYC.  The Pole Dancer?

67%.

There was no way there'd be a different outcome.

Both the Virginia and New Jersey Soviets also went to the Pole Dancer by substantial margins.  

To expect any other outcome in these elections from the one we picked up is delusional.

As old as the old saw "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" may be, it still holds true today.

In this election, the only thing that really shined through was the institutional hatred of the left.

In spades.

The 800 pound gorilla remains in the room.

For years now, Joe Biden's competence, mental acuity and abilities have been called into question by most honest observers.

And literally, for years now, leftists lied to our faces about his condition. Leftists including Kamala Harris.

Why did they lie to us?

Days ago, every leftist talking head in America lied to our faces. NONE of them questioned his condition, competence, abilities or awareness.

Joe Scarborough assured us not long ago:

"BUT COMPARING THAT GUY'S MENTAL STATE -- I'VE SAID IT FOR YEARS NOW, HE'S COGENT, BUT I UNDERSOLD HIM WHEN I SAID HE WAS COGENT. HE'S FAR BEYOND COGENT.

IN FACT, I THINK HE'S BETTER THAN HE'S EVER BEEN INTELLECTUALLY, ANALYTICALLY, BECAUSE HE'S BEEN AROUND FOR 50 YEARS AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE KNOW THIS OR NOT, BIDEN USED TO BE A HOT HEAD.

SOMETIMES THAT IRISHMAN WOULD GET IN FRONT OF THE REASONING, SOMETIMES HE WOULD SAY THINGS HE DIDN'T WANT TO SAY. THIS IS -- AND I DON'T -- YOU KNOW WHAT I DON'T REALLY --

START YOUR TAPE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH.

AND EFF YOU IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. THIS VERSION OF BIDEN INTELLECTUALLY, ANALYTICALLY, IS THE BEST BIDEN EVER.

NOT A CLOSE SECOND.

AND I HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR YEARS. THE BRZEZINSKIS HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR 50 YEARS.

IF IT WEREN'T THE TRUTH I WOULDN'T SAY IT.

Indeed. He wouldn’t say it. Yet, he knew he was lying when he DID say it. One wonders: why did Joe Scarborough lie?

Why did they put power ahead of the needs and security of this country?

Who, exactly, has been acting as president since it's clear the one we’ve got has morphed from Chief Executive to Chief Mushroom?

There's so many things democrats have lied to us about. Biden's condition is merely the most recent.

So now, we're expected to shove all of that aside and vote for the liars? The PROVEN liars?

Why?

Democrats, including Harris, have called voters stupid. Jonathan Grubber, architect of the horrific Obamacare plan (If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.) outright made the claim voters are stupid.

Are we?

Voters support candidates for a variety of reasons. Likeability plays a role. Getting that emotional connection. Overt manipulation. Taking the voters for granted, particularly the party of the self-admitted stupid, plays a role. Most importantly, as the democrats have shown, time after time, lying to the voters plays a role.

And as we ramp up to this November, I have to ask:

They lied to us for years. Repeatedly. They're ramming a candidate who never received a single primary vote, ever, down the democrat's throats... and we're now expected to believe them? 

Kamala Harris is a younger version of Joe Biden. She has the mental acuity of a guppy. She used her body in large part to achieve her goals. She is to the left of Bernie Sanders and Karl Marx.

She has lied repeatedly. She has sold herself out repeatedly. She has embarrassed this country repeatedly.

Why?

Why would anyone believe anything they say? Why would anyone believe anything Harris says?

Do they have a record of honesty and transparency?

Really?

Where's the Biden-Hur tape? Why do they still refuse to turn it over?

Harris is the candidate of crime, open borders, defunding police, homelessness and drug overdose deaths. She shilled for donations to free terrorist scum arrested as part of the riots which resulted in murders, rapes, assaults, burning, looting and destruction.

Voting for that lends credence to the claim that American voters are, in fact, stupid. We're lazy, we don't dig down, we don’t do the work, and we don't look at the record of what has actually happened on her watch and what will get even worse in the future should we suffer the misfortune of her election.

We have the government we deserve. But no one deserves the horror show about to be unveiled with Kamala's coronation.

Seattle continues to sink into the abyss...

This a quick reminder: Eric Johnson of KOMO was among the first to sound the clarion call with his seminal work "Seattle is Dying" and his follow up effort "The Fight for the Soul of Seattle" tore the cover off the conditions that few outside the King County area know of.

The "War on Drugs" was a failure. Not because, IMHO, it was the wrong cause.

But because we ignored the roots of the problems that brought us to this point.

Leftist government's response (frequently with the aid of GOP help) has been to legalize all drugs, everywhere.

(Yeah, I know... they eyewashed it enough to make it a misdemeanor. etc. But can anyone explain what difference any of that has made? And in this state, the GOP has been complicit in this abandonment of responsibility to those they would govern.)

As a result of these ongoing, continuing failures... more than 10,000 Americans a month are dying from illegal drugs generally and fentanyl/tranq particularly.

Government generally and leftist government particularly has surrendered. We have and continue to waste billions and the result is the problem gets worse every day.

And yet, we are just doubling down. Every year, we waste more and more money while we do nothing to hold those providing this stuff accountable.

There are some who turn a blind eye to this massacre. They claim that it's thinning out the gene pool or some such.

What would our response be to some foreign country killing 10,000 Americans a month? A slaughter that has been literally going on for years?

Open borders, lax to no law enforcement, weak to no deterrent penalties for the manufacture/distribution of these chemical death traps, inadequate rehab facilities and no emphasis on personal accountability.

We do not have the luxury of fostering such an environment.

We either have the will to address this issue and reduce the need for expanding the King County Medical Examiner's morgue, which is filled to overflowing with OD'd corpses awaiting autopsy...

Or we don't.

And it's pretty clear to me that we're nowhere near the point where we must end the confusion of motion (which accomplishes nothing while looking like SOMETHING is being DONE) and action (which accomplishes what actually needs to be done.)

If you haven't already done so, watch these two documentaries. To me, it represents the finest in journalism, an increasingly all-too-rare commodity.

And keep in mind that since these efforts were broadcasted, billions have been spent and the problems... drugs, mental illness, homelessness, sex trafficking and the other crimes supporting those... have become GEOMETRICALLY worse.

The second documentary is a follow up to the first. And sadly, the title is, I believe, prescient, in that Seattle's "soul" is long gone.
