Thoughts on the midterm...

Well, I'd say the left is.... what was that phrase in '24 Harris's people used.... "nauseously optimistic?"

I believe the left could have done better if they had stuck with gradualism... but they seem to have got too greedy, too fast.

Instead of taking the tarantula wasp approach, they've lurched to the far left HARD. And the faces of the left have not done well for them.

The leftist fringe is thrilled. But militant progressivism is failing more than it's succeeding in places where it counts the most.

New York City has turned into a 24/7 punchline. Seattle has become a disaster. Portland as well. 

Washington's income tax scam isn't helping them.

Leftist impatience and their inability to control their hatred is problematic.

Increasing unemployment as major businesses leave for greener (i.e. redder) pastures (Texas, Florida) combined with restrictions on landlords guarantees increased homelessness. Leftist failure after spending billions (Multnomah county spent over $700 million on the homeless with the result equaling a 61% INCREASE in homelessness) is an issue. Leftist failures to hold people accountable for criminal activity, leftist inability to address fentanyl or tranq use... open air drug use... defunding police (Portland just whacked $21 million from their police) is the sort of thing which does not equal great planks for a political platform.

Exhaustion from race-based crime, gangs, theft, drive-by shootings, shoplifting... leftist failures to address those types of issues...

Fringe-left candidates from Platner in Maine to a jihadi in Michigan, tens of billions in fraud on government programs, obstruction by leftist cities and states on getting rid of illegals, even those convicted of murder...reopening borders, more murder of Americans, rape of Americans, drive by shootings of Americans... these issues SHOULD keep the GOP in charge of both Houses.

The bumper sticker: Vote GOP. The other guys are insane, is a fact-based observation.

In fact, Perez, our Congresswoman, is attacking the GOP candidate for trying to outlaw abortion, something he can't do in Congress any more than she can legalize it in Congress... a fake promise also made by the Pole Dancer, come to think of it.

And, I believe the abortion issue hasn't got much punch in Washington State, Any more than it had in Florida in 24.. where an abortion initiative failed with a 57% yes vote (needed 60% under Florida law) and Trump won Florida with 56.09% meaning the majority voted yes for abortion and then for Trump in large numbers.

Footage from now multi-story homeless camps in Cali for example... FOUR STORY homeless structures... the visuals of leftist government can be very effective if used properly.

Add trans issue involving children, terrible schools, forced urbanization, ramming the waste of light rail down our throats... Those KINDS of issues should tilt it right if handled properly.

It boils down to turnout. But then, the GOP has the themes I believe they need. The question remains, do they have the will to use those themes effectively?

They've blown it before. Will they blow it again?

The new democrat nazi party.

For months, I've referred to the democrats as the party of Nazi Platner. I've claimed they're antisemitic. I've observed they'd vote for Himmler if he had a "D" after his name. I've claimed they run on hatred. Here's a proof from within the actual democrat party itself, Michigan being the most recent, obvious example.

The Jewish democrat Attorney General for the state of Michigan will be avoiding the democrat nominating convention.

Why?
From an interview on MSNOW:

"Myself and other Jewish electeds are subjected to a barrage of antisemitic threats. And that's been happening literally since my first day in office." - Michigan democrat Attorney General Dana Nesset

Michigan, of course, has muslim strongholds such as Dearborn, where bigoted jihadi scum control every aspect of government.

"(These threats) started long before October 7. Um but, in addition to that, you know, what we've seen of the democratic party, as of late, in here, Michigan, is that we're not seeing the same kind of civil discourse that we used to be able to have..." - Dana Nessel

"(We used to) have a diversity of ideas and opinions that that are, you know, respected." - Dana Nessel

Q: "Is your party doing enough to address those concerns, Madame Attorney General?"

"Yeah, I would say, absolutely, they're not. And I would just point to the example we have, 5 members of the democratic party, who have been charged with antisemitic acts of violence; sorry, of vandalism and harassment and threats to other, umm, democratic officials, um, some of whom are Jewish. Including an attack on the, uh, Jewish Federation of Detroit... so those people, are still permitted to come to the convention!" - Dana Nessel

".... it's baffling to me that while these charges are pending, they are going to be allowed to be there, despite, um, you know, these credible charges against them." - Dana Nessel

There are other examples of leftist insanity in this video, including their latest nazi flavor of the week, Hasan Piker. But when an Attorney General of a state, who happens to be Jewish, refuses to attend her own party's nominating convention out of fear for her safety?

The first outward political sign of democrat antisemitism as a party policy was Kamala Harris picking a buffoon for her vice presidential running mate' Tim "No Balz" Walz over the obvious, more quality choice of the governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro.

The selection of Walz, which most sentient beings on the planet recognize was a total and complete disaster; over a politically strategic governor of a Blue Wall state, (Minnesota, Walz's state, was never a threat to go any color but blue) was reduced to one reason and one reason only: Shapiro is Jewish.

It's obvious that there's no selection the cardboard cutout of a democrat presidential candidate COULD have picked that would have saved the inexplicably moronic choice of the vacuous, clueless moron they ultimately installed after the undeniable truth of 4 years of lies concerning the mental state of Joe Biden forced their hand.

But instead of throwing cold water on democrat hatred to cool it off, they learned nothing from their bigoted insanity and continue their road to displacing the NSDAP (Nazi Party - Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) as the most recent example of the ilk in modern day American politics.

It's a matter of time until the democrats begin to resurrect the German American Nazi Bund, the Hitler support group, which, from 1936 to 1941 showed full-throated support for the Nazis and their policies.

Their actions, alignment with radical islamic jihadis in our country, policies more and more frequently shown as representative of today's modern democrat (and for those who disagree with that assessment, where is the wave of outrage that should have long since came crashing down on these terrorists?) are reminiscent of Germany in the 30's where Hitler was viewed as a tool who could be controlled, just like jihadis in our country are viewed by democrats.

The increasing clarity is made simple by democrats allowing these terrorist wannabes to have a seat at the table. And democrat rank and file remain silent in their enthusiasm for nazi policies and their increasing alignment with jihadi terrorists.

The saga of the WNBA, Enes Kantner Freedom and Royce White.

 Matt Walsh lays it all out in this post "White said he'd be "unstoppable" in the women's league — and says a discrimination suit is coming if he goes undrafted."

WNBA basketball... which is worthless as a sport regardless, given that any big city high school boys team would destroy the WNBA Champs... was never worth watching and now has devolved into a racist, back supremacist soap opera... will now get the opportunity to put up, or shut up.

Men claiming to be women is a joke. No amount of mutilation/butchery/chemistry changes biology.

Trans women are men.

Trans men are women.

The WNBA has turned into a thug factory, where racist, bigoted black women believe because of the level of melanin in their skin, they're entitled to assault white women, and then express dismay at consequences; a not altogether foreign concept among younger blacks these days.

And leftist white women, including Caitlin "whites have privilege" Clark agree with black women as victims.

Now, at least two MEN, both former NBA players, have left the closet and are acknowledging their feminist side by demanding to be drafted by the WNBA in their upcoming draft, including Enes Kantor Freedom and Royce White.

Clark, for her part, has credited black women for building the WNBA, apparently both leaving out massive NBA subsidies that allow the league to exist as well as leaving out the part where those same women have built it into a debacle losing $40 to $50 million per year, most recently in 2024.

The woke WNBA (just another reason to ignore those clowns) has come out in full-throated support of fake women, but has with rare exception (Griner) not had to deal with the issue of men in their locker rooms.

Now they will have to.

Both Kantor and White are light years ahead of the best WNBA players in skills and abilities. And the WNBA has neatly painted itself into a corner where they MUST translate their support for the fake women's movement into action where now they MUST draft men posing as fake women.

White, for his part, has indicated he'll sue if he's not drafted. And if he and Kantor ARE drafted, then the end result will be an all trans basketball league where women will, once again, be hoisted on the petard of their own making.

A league with Kantor and White in it would be the harbinger of things to come and might finally, FINALLY drag the league into profitability instead of their continued existence being the punchline in a joke that's getting old.

I would dare the black supremacist women to attempt their thuggery on these two guys.

Today's episode of democrat hypocrisy: Senate democrats refuse to vote for Voter ID to vote WITHOUT requiring citizenship.

Every senate democrat voted to oppose a clean voter ID amendment, an amendment that would NOT have required proof of citizenship to vote.

Leftists have built a castle of lies for their excuses (none that reach the level of "reasons") over their opposition to the SAVE Act. The main reason, which some leftists have addressed, is they realize they can't win without the continued counting of illegal votes.

Many of those opposed have falsely claimed that requiring proof of citizenship is akin to that old democrat fav of "poll taxes." They claim that because there's no provisions for actually PAYING for people to get their own proof of citizenship the SAVE Act is "unconstitutional."

(My solution, stated repeatedly, is to require SAVE Act levels of ID for EVERYONE to receive ANY federal aid for ANYTHING.

Does anyone reading this realistically believe that even full on welfare recipients wouldn't find a way to make that happen?)

It isn't, of course; but then, to be a leftist requires a high degree of gullibility, self-delusion and ignorance.

The irony of members of the party that implemented poll taxes complaining about them now is difficult to overstate.

As always, we know why leftist pols oppose a proof of citizenship requirement to vote. Simply stated, as they have said, it will make it "impossible for democrats to win."

Which is correct, of course, but then, democrats don't CARE how they win, as long as they win... as they've proven once again.

The bill in question was to "invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to the consideration of S.5271, the Help America Vote Bill."

The motion required 60 votes... all democrats present voted "no."
