Eliane Luria came into Congress on a wave of anti-Trumpism, and left on a wave of anti-Bidenism. That’s how it goes most of the time.

The bottom line is that Luria was a fine Congresswoman that should have breezed into into a third term, however, the moronic Democratic Party gave her enough rope to freely tie her own noose.

Her accomplishments were great for the Shore–she brought money and attention, would have fitted the last mile of broadband, would have put even more eyes on Wallops.

Her best work was as the House Armed Services Committee’s Vice Chair for the 117^th Congress.

To local shipbuilders here in Coastal Virginia, and sea power supporters, she’s an ally; to the Navy, she’s both a supporter and a skeptic. She led a bipartisan coalition to boost defense spending, and she often used her military experience to grill officials on both the size and readiness of the Navy’s fleet, and whether those factors were enough to win a war against China. Luria was making up for 20 years of the Navy being underfunded or under-resourced.

This should have resonated in the 2nd district whose local economy is tied to Naval Station Norfolk, home of the most U.S. Navy personnel, and to Norfolk Naval Shipyard, which services nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines on the East Coast.

But then came the January 6th Committee, and Luria was tapped as a member, and in many ways, became the face of it–she was a regular guest on national news shows.

Luria emphasized her role on the Jan. 6 committee in her closing television ad, and told Vox that she felt it was ultimately a good decision. “If it’s not popular with voters and I don’t win reelection, I’ll be able to sleep at night because I know I did the right thing . . . in the long run, I think I’m on the right side of it, and the economy will recover,” she said earlier this month. “Democracy may not.”

This was a big miscalculation. People, especially on the Shore, and across the Bay are struggling, and we are all pretty sure what policies are driving the pain. The Jan. 6th stuff tied Luria directly to Biden and Pelosi, and she was viewed as just another partisan politician up in Washington, out of touch with what the working class is actually going through.

Essentially, the January 6 Committee ruined her brand. The committee has been broadly mocked, and is even deemed the real threat to Democracy by many of the ordinary people.

It’s a shame, she had much more good work to do for the US Navy, and the Defense Department in general. There are many in the DoD that may be glad to see her go. Whether Kiggins will pick up where she left off is story yet unwritten.

A “demagogue,” according to the Reader’s Digest Great Encyclopedic Dictionary, is “one who leads the populace by appealing to prejudices and passions; an unprincipled politician.”

It is my premise herein that Democrat Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior, is just such a “leader,” especially on the issue of abortion, leading his portion of the populace by appealing to their prejudices and passions, as we see in a Reuters article titled “Biden to codify abortion rights in January if Democrats keep Congress” by Jeff Mason and Nandita Bose on October 18, 2022, as follows:

“I want you to remember that the final say does not rest in the Court now.”

“It does not rest with extremist Republicans in Congress.”

“The final say about your right to choose.. rests with you.”

“And if you do your part and vote, Democratic leaders in Congress I promise you will do our part.”

“I’ll do my part.”

The president also cited a part of the Supreme Court ruling that said women are not without electoral or political power, suggesting they could mobilize and elect lawmakers to guarantee abortion rights.

“Let me tell you something.”

“The court and extreme Republicans who spent decades trying to overturn Roe are about to find out,” Biden said.

end quotes

With those words of Joe Biden in mind, that same source, the Reader’s Digest Great Encyclopedic Dictionary, then defines the term “demagogic” as “pertaining to or like a demagogue; given to unprincipled political agitation,” and “demagoguery” as “the spirit, method or conduct of a demagogue.”

It is my premise herein based on those words of Joe’s in that Reuters article above, with regard to abortion, specifically, that Joe Biden is indeed engaging in “unprincipled political agitation” which marks him out as a modern-day demagogue.

“Demagogue” is a word that seems to have fallen out of our political lexicon, probably because it is hard to spell and has so many characters in it that it would play hob with composing a TWEET on TWITTER, although for a time, the term was being applied, rightly or wrongly, to Donald Trump,

Before that, in my memory, we have to go back to George Wallace to find an American politician branded as a demagogue.

According to an article in The Bulwark titled “Demagoguery in America” by Pejman Yousefzadeh on August 30, 2020, which article is a review of a book titled “The Demagogue’s Playbook – The Battle for American Democracy from the Founders to Trump” by Eric A. Posner, we have this American history to consider, as follows:

Andrew Jackson, the earliest American demagogue Posner identifies, “was able to win the presidency because by his time the original constitutional bulwarks against populist demagogues had eroded.”

Under Jackson, “the new populist ideology could justify destruction of the institutions, not just reform, including institutions that constrain, or lie outside the power of, the executive.”

“Only the president himself was powerful enough to lead this assault.”

In short, the new ideology justified “a leader who derives his power from the people rather than from a set of political institutions, a demagogue.”

Notwithstanding the creation of a technocracy — and the administrative bureaucracy that preceded, grew with, and enabled it — Posner tells us that populist demagogic impulses returned with a vengeance with the arrival on the scene of Wisconsin senator Joseph McCarthy, to whom the press “flocked” because he was (here Posner borrows from historian David Oshinsky) “bizarre, unpredictable, entertaining, and always newsworthy.”

Despite the fact that McCarthy was ultimately repudiated by his Senate colleagues, the demagogic strain remained, and found at least some resonance in the public career of Alabama governor George Wallace and the presidential candidacies and presidency of Richard Nixon.

end quotes

So we have had presidents before Joe Biden who have been deemed to be demagogues, which takes us back to that article for this, which is directly relevant to the times we are in today and the dangerous demagoguery of Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior, to wit:

The Demagogue’s Playbook is a well-written and -sourced work of pop-scholarship, with a narrative style that moves briskly without skimping on important historical and cultural details.

Posner’s historical judgment, however, is sometimes lacking.

For example, in discussing the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, Posner concedes that Roosevelt “used some demagogic tactics,” but argues that those tactics were justified:

First, [Roosevelt] acted during a serious emergency — actually two emergencies, the Great Depression and the start of World War II.

end quote

And think about today, and the excuses Joe Biden is using for his demagoguery – the economy and “a war raging,” as Joe was just quoted as saying in a Reuters article titled “U.S. sells oil reserves as Biden tackles pump prices ahead of elections” by Nandita Bose, Jarrett Renshaw and Steve Holland on October 19, 2022.

Going back to the article for more similarities between the demagoguery of FDR and the demagoguery of JRB, we have:

The creaky American constitutional system inhibits executive action, and while that may be tolerable in normal times, in a national emergency a timid executive may spell doom.

The Great Depression was already three years old when Roosevelt took office, and a new banking crisis had begun just months earlier.

Hoover was not up to the task.

Roosevelt also faced an extraordinarily complex situation in the run-up to World War II, when he sought to signal to Germany that America would come to the aid of the Western alliance while avoiding a domestic political backlash that could have hamstrung the eventual war effort.

One will not find many people nowadays who will deny that Roosevelt faced extraordinary challenges during his presidency, and that an extraordinary response was necessary.

But it is more than a little unsettling to read Posner claiming that those exigencies justified “some demagogic tactics.”

Were we to confine the use of judicious demagoguery to Roosevelt’s presidency and his response to the likes of massive global recession and another world war, perhaps we would not have much to fear from the prospect of demagoguery at the presidential level.

The obvious problem, however, is that while few presidents may encounter twin crises like the Great Depression and World War II, the emergency powers of the president are vast, and the combination of presidential demagoguery and the exercise of presidential powers at the merest suggestion of an emergency is frightening to contemplate.

end quotes

Think about how many “merest hints of emergencies” there have been under Joe Biden that are requiring him in his own view to keep expanding his powers through executive orders.

Going back to that article, it continues with this following warning, to wit:

It is worrisome enough that the powers of the presidency have considerably expanded through the decades and show no sign of lessening.

It would be worse still if we turned a blind eye to the unbounded ability of a president to engage in demagoguery in any circumstance he labels an emergency — even if no real emergency exists — because in part we are occasionally given to excusing “some demagogic tactics.”

end quotes

And with that in the record, let me pause here for all of that to sink in, and most certainly, if we do turn a blind eye to the unbounded ability of a president, in this case, clearly Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior, to engage in demagoguery in any circumstance he labels an emergency — even if no real emergency exists — because in part we are occasionally given to excusing “some demagogic tactics,” then we are asking for serious trouble as a nation and as a people!

The following Op-Ed was written and submitted by Paul Plante

As I sit here typing these words, one old grandfather and disabled combat veteran without political clout or financial means out here in what the slick and sophisticated city folks would call a cultural backwater tucked back into the mountains, where it is still the 1800’s, and really cool dudes like Hussein Obama mock the people, working-class voters the majority of them, who have become frustrated with economic conditions, saying to the world, as if someone from Chicago like him who has never really been to America would even have a clue, “And it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,” none of which is really true, the Democrats are spending millions of dollars promoting abortion, and in the course of doing, openly and blatantly spreading what I call a GREAT BIG TOXIC ABORTION LIE for no other purpose than to provoke and incite violence, including violence towards members of the Supreme Court, by stoking the passions and emotions of women with outright lies, as we see by going to an article in the Albany, New York Times Union titled “Ad spending shows Dems hinging midterm hopes on abortion” by Steve Peoples and Aaron M. Kessler of the Associated Press on September 20, 2022, as follows:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats are pumping an unprecedented amount of money into advertising related to abortion rights, underscoring how central the message is to the party in the final weeks before the November midterm elections.

With the most intense period of campaigning only just beginning, Democrats have already invested more than an estimated $124 million this year in television advertising referencing abortion.

That’s more than twice as much money as the Democrats’ next top issue this year, “character,” and almost 20 times more than Democrats spent on abortion-related ads in the 2018 midterms.

end quotes

So, some really BIG MONEY in the game here, people, which should raise the question in the minds of all Americans – WHY?

Specifically, WHY are the Democrats spending more than twice as much money on abortions as they are on their next top issue this year, that being “character,” of which they are sorely lacking?

WHY is abortion so much more important to Democrats than character, when it is character that is so much more important to me?

Which takes us back to that article, as follows:

The estimated spending figures, based on an Associated Press analysis of data provided by the nonpartisan research firm AdImpact, reveal the extent to which Democrats are betting their majorities in Congress and key governorships on one issue.

That’s even as large majorities of Americans think the country is heading in the wrong direction and that the economy is in poor condition.

end quotes

Which seriously blows my mind – yes, people, the country is indeed heading in the wrong direction, the economy is in poor condition and is about to get worse, your credit card interest rate is going up, you can’t afford food, or to pay your rent, your neighbor’s smarmy son who went to Harvard law school and now makes his living going after college students who can’t pay their student loans and evicting people who can’t pay their mortgages just got his student loans canceled by Joe Biden, and you can’t find katsup on the shelf to make katsup soup with to feed your children, but buck up folks, because the Democrats are doing everything they can to make sure you can still get an abortion, which takes us aback to that article for more, as follows:

Since the high court’s decision in June to eliminate the constitutional right to abortion, roughly 1 in 3 television advertising dollars spent by Democrats and their allies have focused on abortion.

end quotes

And whoa, right there, people – because there is the Democrats’ GREAT BIG TOXIC ABORTION LIE staring us right in the face there, because there was NO high court decision in June to eliminate the constitutional right to abortion.

THERE WAS NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO ABORTION TO ELIMINATE IN JUNE BECAUSE IN JUNE, SUCH A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO ABORTION DID NOT EXIST, PERIOD!

In concurring in Roe v. Wade in 1973, Mr. Chief Justice Burger stated in plain and simple language that even dull-wits like the Democrats should be able to comprehend and understand, as follows:

Plainly, the Court today rejects any claim that the Constitution requires abortions on demand.

end quote

And there is where it all begins and ends, people, with those fourteen (14) words written by the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court in 1973.

So WHY are the Democrats lying to us today, trying to tell us something different?

Because they think we are all stupid and easy to deceive and mislead?

And let me make an important point here – NO, you do not need to be a lawyer to read Supreme Court decisions like Roe v. Wade or Dobbs, State Health Officer of the Mississippi Department of Health, et al. v. Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization et al., No. 19–1392, decided June 24, 2022, nor do you need a JD from Harvard to understand and comprehend what the decisions are saying, since the decisions are meant to speak to us, the common folks in this land, so that we can understand what the law really is without having to keep a lawyer on retainer like the organized crime dudes do.

And that goes for members of the press who keep misrepresenting Roe v. Wade, and Dobbs, as well, which is why I am stepping up to the plate here to confront these lies with a little more than four weeks until the all-important mid-terms elections which are going to determine the fate and future of OUR Republic in the face of a Democrat onslaught to strip us of not only our liberty, but essentially, our citizenship rights if we are not pro-abortion, as we see in this Fox News article titled “AOC wonders if pro-life Democrats should continue to serve: ‘We really need to reassess'” by Cortney O’Brien on 26 June 2022, to wit:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., suggested in an Instagram video Saturday night that pro-life Democrats should no longer serve in the wake of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.

end quotes

Think about it, people!

Think about what AOC is really saying there.

IF you do not believe fervently and whole-heartedly with women having abortions any time they want them, on demand, then you should not be represented in the Congress of the United States of America.

If you are cool with that, then your choice is obviously already made, so there is probably nothing here of interest to you, since your mind is already closed.

If, on the other hand, you are really concerned about the direction the Democrats want to take this country, and want to know more about what Roe v. Wade and Dobbs, State Health Officer of the Mississippi Department of Health, et al. v. Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization et al. really do say in simple and easy to understand terms straight from the decisions themselves, as opposed to from the Democrat PROPAGANDA MILL, stay tuned.

For the last decade, we have watched the slow, methodical gentrification of Cape Charles. Like an anaconda, the muscle of rich, northern money has been used to strangle and suffocate the last remaining bits of the town’s authenticity. The whole historic thing is laughable. Bird is not the word, tourism is. The industrial and rail history is being canceled in favor of tourist-driven eateries and shops. Years ago, this writer was laughed at for coining the term “Cape Maying”, but who’s laughing now? In fact, Cape May is probably jealous of how fast this place sold out.

The ultimate goal of the Cape May effect is homogenization–eliminating as much diversity as possible. This accounts for all this Rosenwald School hoopla and the almost frantic way the white people are frothing at the mouth, throwing money and taxpayer resources at Cape Charles’ most prominent symbol of racism and segregation (all while pricing out a large swath of the African-American community). As if this will somehow cleanse the past. It’s just a way of glorifying segregation without saying you’re glorifying it, all the while whitewashing what you are currently doing, trying to cover up the secret yearning for a town made up of people who look, think, and are from the same class as you. You would think the community would have rallied around the Cape Charles School, which was actually the place that ended racial segregation–many of the same Rosenwald proponents fought tooth and nail to give the old school away for a mere $10. History Note: the selling of the school was just a convenient way of keeping black kids from coming into town to play basketball and eliminating any possibility of bringing back the boys and girls club. We have the receipts.

Then there’s Washington Street. It is one of the last holdouts, a most diverse neighborhood where there are the last few affordable homes left. It’s been a slow train coming, forces diligently chipping away east and west, but even Washington Street is ready to fall.

A few months ago I saw it–one of the houses painted and all beached up, and even renamed Beach Bungalow.

The house was listed on Zillow for $425k. There goes the neighborhood.

It will sell. The inventory is so limited, that the Airbnb crowd will snatch it up, and the last remaining houses and lots will go and soon be fashioned as one of those annoying faux beach cottages.

The anaconda will continue to squeeze and Cape Charles will get a little less diverse. Bit by bit, the last of full-time working class folks will have to make way for the ‘visitors’.

The inmates won’t admit this, but they really want it this way.

The greasy till doesn’t lie.

Special to the Mirror, written and submitted by Jack Wright

All people, through every age and within every culture, face the same fundamental challenges as they attempt to build a life of meaning, prosperity and personal fulfillment. Not all people are free to advance their ambitions toward that end as some political systems, religious laws, and cultural traditions impose harsh restrictions on human possibilities, yet true liberation and flourishing are both internal and external. One must start with the inner struggles that each of us face as we attempt to come to a deep and honest understanding of who we are so that we can successfully navigate the uncertain currents of life.

I offer the 26 guidelines below as being among the most important building blocks required for a life of sustainable, individual flourishing for women, men, and children.

1.  Try to spend at least 10-15 minutes a day in quiet contemplation or meditation – listen to nature, honor the quiet, liberate your inner thoughts, and do not speak.

• Make every day meaningful. Our lives pass by quickly, and we are not assured a single day in the future. 

• Take yourself and your time seriously; you have something to offer the world. Be able to laugh at yourself and cry at times as well; there is comedy and tragedy in each of our lives.

• Expose yourself to great art, music, philosophy, and literature. Knowledge and beauty are transforming, and the genius of others may become your own.

• Take the time to establish and understand a set of fundamental principles through which you can choose to live and to which you can always return when making important decisions. Write these ideas down, and keep the door open to their guiding influence. Knowing these principles is knowing yourself. Become fluent in discussing them.

• Be solid in your beliefs and know why you believe in them. Do not retreat from or abandon them unless you find that they should be replaced by those that you have come to regard as superior. This process of challenging and refining our ideas, however deeply they may be held, strengthens our resolve to live a principled life. As Socrates is thought to have said, “the unexamined life is not worth living”.

• Be overtly respectful, friendly and kind.

• Speak out against those wishing to deprive you or others of the freedoms to which you are entitled as a human being.

• Try to spend at least thirty minutes a day exercising or doing yoga.

1. Tell those that you love, that you love them every day.

1. Understand that what you have been in the past does not limit what you can become in the future. Each of us is a work in progress, in a constant state of becoming, a process for which we must accept personal responsibility.

1. Make a list of your strengths. Direct yourself to their further development. Positive views of ourselves and our strengths become a self-fulfilling force. Do not be afraid of failures – learn from them. A positive attitude is life affirming. Negative preoccupations have a suffocating effect on our sense of purpose and life’s meaning.

1. Set long-term goals. Understand the necessity of their value as the incremental steps necessary to achieve goals. This helps define the value of accomplishing something each day as you move toward their realization. This is an empowering process that builds confidence in your ability to have a deterministic impact on your future. 

1. Choose your friends wisely; your choices can tell you much about yourself. Strive to surround yourself with people whose ideas and behavior you respect and in whose presence you feel happy. Value people’s character, and do not be seduced by superficial surface traits of appearance and personality.

1. Be honest with yourself and others.

1. Learn how to manage your finances. Plan to use your financial resources in a way that supports your long-term goals. While recognizing the value of fun along the way, do not foreclose the higher ends toward which you aspire by saddling yourself with unnecessary debt based upon yielding to short term frivolous impulse purchases. Use credit cards wisely. Charges should be paid off immediately. Educate yourself on credit card policies and cred bureau practices. 

1. Do not be gratuitously vulgar. Vulgarity is self- demeaning and disrespectful to others. It is also a sign of insecurity. It represents a juvenile inclination to be contemptuous of traditional values. It is evidence of a deficiency in mature language usage, and it also suggests an inability to communicate on a higher level. This applies to gratuitous vulgarity. It could be argued that there are certainly times when vulgar expressions are appropriate, but they should be used sparingly so that they can retain their power to express strong feelings.

1. Do not spend your time frivolously engaged in the world of social media. It can draw you into the quicksand of juvenile preoccupations, narcissistic shallowness, ill-informed rants, hate filled invectives, and other colossally wasteful uses of your precious time.

1. Understand what your body requires for sustainable health and consume high quality nutrients to achieve that end.

• Sustainable wellbeing is developed by cultivating and balancing your mental, physical and spiritual capacities. Emotional wellbeing is an outgrowth of this balance.

• Keep your spaces clean and neat. Order creates simplicity and harmony; clutter breeds chaos and dysfunction.

• Create a daily journal. List all the tasks that you want to accomplish each day and get as many completed as possible. Those not completed move to the following days list. This gives one a very real sense of control and genuine accomplishment.

• Do not be afraid of or deterred by failure. The Greek philosopher Socrates admonished all to “know thyself,” and the ability to derive from experience, an enhanced and authentic understanding of self, illuminates the value of both success and failure. If one has energetically invested themselves in their efforts, there is no shame in failure. To the contrary, failure can help us come to a deeper understanding of our strengths and of the endeavors which, when underpinned by those strengths, may present realistic expectations for success and fulfillment.

• Wisdom derives from the continuing engagement in life’s challenges. What we are to become should be the result of a process of refining and transforming ourselves toward progressively higher states of self -realization. Life is the context within which we may continuously learn, evolve, and develop wisdom worth passing on. We must have a clear sense that we are progressing in our lives for this is the instrument of becoming, and it is what we become that determines if happiness is to follow.

• The goal of life is to flourish in a healthy and vigorous way. We should wish this for all people, especially those we love. We should work to create and sustain those ideas and conditions that provide the fertile ground for our flourishing as individuals, families and communities. This is the highest expression of our basic humanity.

• In the end, the most important choice you will ever make is in choosing a spouse or life- long companion. That person should be your best friend whose presence you covet throughout your life together. The love and mutual respect that you share will become your greatest strength and a blessing to both people. Fidelity to your shared vision of life together and to your love for each other will enable you to face life’s inevitable difficult trials without losing faith and optimism. The steel of true love is hardened in the crucible of life’s struggles.

Special Opinion to the Mirror by Paul Plante

Never in my life as an American citizen have I heard such a spew of the highly toxic hate-filled and absolute false garbage such as pours forth today from the mouth of the illegitimate president of the Democrats Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr, who is president of the Democrats in America in the same way that Saddam Hussein was president of the Baathists in Iraq.

On 1 September 2022, in a stage setting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that was from straight out of the German Third Reich, where Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels used loudspeakers, decorative flames, uniforms, and marches to attract attention to his speeches, president Biden of the Democrats uttered these following lines which should be of grave concern to us all as American citizens, to wit:

JOE BIDEN: I speak to you tonight from sacred ground in America: Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pa.

But as I stand here tonight, equality and democracy are under assault.

We do ourselves no favor to pretend otherwise.

So, tonight, I’ve come to this place where it all began to speak as plainly as I can to the nation about the threats we face, about the power we have in our own hands to meet these threats and about the incredible future that lies in front of us, if only we choose it.

Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.

These are hard things, but I’m an American president, not a president of red America or blue America, but of all America.

And I believe it’s my duty, my duty to level with you, to tell the truth no matter how difficult, no matter how painful.

And here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution.

They do not believe in the rule of law.

They do not recognize the will of the people.

They refuse to accept the results of a free election, and they’re working right now as I speak in state after state to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself.

MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards, backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love.

end quotes

So, IF Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. is an “American” president, not a president of red America or blue America, but of all America, and believes he has a duty to level with we, the American people, including the great percentage of us who are not card-carrying Democrats, to tell the truth no matter how difficult, no matter how painful, then why isn’t Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. doing that, telling us the truth, no matter how difficult, no matter how painful?

Why is Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. lying to us instead?

Because the truth does not serve the political purposes of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., president of the Democrats in America, going into the November mid-terms, where the future of the authoritarian Biden regime will be determined?

Because the truth will hurt Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and so, he is concealing it instead under a mountain of GREAT BIG LIES?

A GREAT BIG LIE, for example, about an alleged “FREE AND FAIR ELECTION” for president in 2020 that was NOT free and fair at all, since it was CONSTITUTIONALLY INVALID.

And if we do not believe the BIDEN BIG LIE about the 2020 presidential election being “free and fair,” a ridiculous claim in the light of reality, we are denounced by the Biden-istas as “election deniers” who are deemed a threat to the “sacred democracy” of the Democrats, which “sacred democracy” is in turn a threat to OUR Constitutional Republic, because it is wholly incompatible with OUR concept of Republican government in this nation of OURS, which the Democrats are trying to make exclusively theirs with a one-party government with them in charge for eternity.

Or how about the GREAT BIG BIDEN LIE about the supposed “RIGHT TO CHOOSE,” which is an emotional term employed by the Biden-istas to stir up anger against their political foes in America.

WHY is Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. lying to the people of America, telling them Roe v. Wade gave them “the right to choose,” when Roe v. Wade itself said no such thing?

For the record, and to counter president of the Democrats Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.’s GREAT BIG LIE about the “right to choose,” which doesn’t exist, here is what Roe v. Wade actually did say about this supposed “right to choose” way back in 1973, to wit:

3. Though the State cannot override that right (right to a QUALIFIED ABORTION), it has legitimate interests in protecting both the pregnant woman’s health and the potentiality of human life, each of which interests grows and reaches a ‘compelling’ point at various stages of the woman’s approach to term.

(a) For the stage prior to approximately the end of the first trimester, the abortion decision and its effectuation MUST be left to the medical judgment of the pregnant woman’s attending physician.

(b) For the stage subsequent to approximately the end of the first trimester, the State, in promoting its interest in the health of the mother, MAY, if it chooses, regulate the abortion procedure in ways that are REASONABLY RELATED to maternal health.

(c) For the stage subsequent to viability the State, in promoting its interest in the potentiality of human life, MAY, if it chooses, regulate, and even proscribe, abortion except where necessary, in appropriate medical judgment, for the preservation of the life or health of the mother.

4. The State may define the term ‘physician’ to mean only a physician currently licensed by the State, and may proscribe any abortion by a person who is not a physician as so defined.

end quotes

IF president of the Democrats Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. was really going to tell us the truth, no matter how difficult, no matter how painful, then that right there is the truth he should be telling us, as opposed to making up a GREAT BIG LIE about a non-existent right to choose.

But that truth does not serve the political ends of president of the Democrats Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., so he resorting to the traditional Democrat fall-back position of “barrage them with lies and bury them under a mountain of BULL**** so the real truth will never see the light of day,” a tactic quite effective in the days of the Third Reich and Joseph Goebbels, but not so much so in this day and age in America of the internet and that grand palladium of LIBERTY, the venerable Cape Charles Mirror.

And if president of the Democrats Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. were really going to do his duty to tell us the truth, no matter how difficult, no matter how painful, then Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr, would be telling us that Dobbs, State Health Officer of the Mississippi Department of Health, et al. v. Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization et al., No. 19–1392, decided June 24, 2022, should be respected by each and every one of us,l starting with Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr, his assistant autocrat Karmela Harris, and Viriginia’s Elaine Luria because DOBBS REAFFIRMS DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA, THE RIGHT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THEMSELVES TO CHOOSE WHETHER ABORTION SHOULD BE LEGAL OR NOT, to wit:

Held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.

In other words, Dobbs restores to WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, the form of government in this nation envisioned by Brutus in the Brutus VII political essay on January 03, 1788, where we had as follows, to wit:

It is true this system commits to the general government the protection and defence of the community against foreign force and invasion, against piracies and felonies on the high seas, and against insurrections among ourselves.

But it ought to be left to the state governments to provide for the protection and defence of the citizen against the hand of private violence, and the wrongs done or attempted by individuals to each other.

Protection and defence against the murderer, the robber, the thief, the cheat, and the unjust person, is to be derived from the respective state governments.

end quotes

That, people is exactly what Dobbs, State Health Officer of the Mississippi Department of Health, et al. v. Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization et al., No. 19–1392, decided June 24, 2022 reaffirms.

So why then, people, is Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. lying to us through his teeth, telling us otherwise?

Why is president of the Democrats Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. pretending that that power is vested in the congressional Democrats instead?

Why is Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. telling us that GREAT BIG LIE?

Because it is lies that serve his partisan political purposes instead of the truth?

Think about it, people.

Think very carefully

IF you want a president who lies to you and fills your head with pure BULL****, then your choice in November is crystal clear – VOTE DEMOCRAT and your wish will be fulfilled.

The following Op-Ed was written and submitted by Paul Plante

What makes the term “semi-fascism” so interesting today, besides the fact that it is a stupid term invented by United States president Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. that means nothing, being along the lines of “semi-pregnant,” is the fact that Joe and the main-stream and legacy media who serve as Joe’s propagandists all actually believe that it means something concrete and real.

What exactly that is they don’t truly know, but then, they don’t have to, do they, because Joe is the president, and as president, it is Joe who gets to determine what words mean, or don’t mean, and thus, as president, it is Joe Biden who sets the reality we all must live with, and so, now, according to Joe, who would know because he is the president, and we are not, and so don’t have access to all the real top-secret stuff Joe has that informs his decision-making processes in his gut, we have people in this country who are an extreme danger to Joe’s sacred democracy because they are semi-fascists who are trying to steal the soul of America away from Joe and his people, and that just is not right, according to Joe.

We first come across this newly-invented “Biden-ism,” which is the latest in a long list of the hateful, virulent, vituperative, derogatory, discriminatory and pejorative terms Joe uses to describe everybody in America who does not adulate him, a list that started with Joe’s famous “DREGS OF SOCIETY” label being slung or hurled as an epitaph at Joe’s perceived enemies among the American people not under his protection by Joe on September 17, 2018, when Joe used a pro-LGBT Human Rights Campaign annual dinner to rip President Trump, who Joe hates and fears, where Joe did his old act, starting off soft and avuncular before booming through his power points, punching the air and flailing about ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifltPWDo-7c ) while demeaning and demonizing better than half the population of America, and then progressed though “ULTRA-MAGA,” another hateful and stupid pejorative cooked up in the mind of Joe Biden as he spends his time thinking of “MEAN TWEETS” of his own with which to disparage not politicians like “Crying Hillary” and “Ditzy Nancy” and Charley “Chuck” Schumer, as Trump did, but American citizens he supposedly is the “president” of, and answers to, in a Reuters article titled “MAGA Republican actions fit ‘definition of fascism,’ White House says” on August 26, 2022, where we had Joe’s chief political propagandist, a blithering idiot in her own right, informing us on the subject of “semi-fascism,” the newest threat to the “soul of America” that Joe as president is charged to protect, to wit:

Aug 26 (Reuters) – The actions of some Republicans allied to former President Donald Trump fit the definition of fascism, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Friday, a day after President Joe Biden said they edged toward “semi-fascism.”

“I was very clear when laying out and defining what MAGA Republicans have done and you look at the definition of fascism and you think about what they’re doing in attacking our democracy.”

“… That is what that is.”

“It is very clear,” Jean-Pierre told a press briefing.

It is very clear?

Let’s do some serious fact-checking here, people, to see if that is at all clear, because those are truly some very serious charges that are being laid out by the Office of the President of the United States of America – that the MAGA Republicans are a threat to sacred democracy in America because they are a semi-fascist conspiracy to steal the soul of America from Joe Biden, and to do that, to see if Biden chief propagandist Karine Jean-Pierre is anywhere near the mark when she says she was very clear when laying out and defining what MAGA Republicans have done, let us actually take a good hard look ourselves at the definition of fascism, and to do that, we actually have two of them to consider, as follows:

First of all, we have the definition of fascism in the Reader’s Digest Great Encyclopedic Dictionary, where one finds “fascism” defined as a one party system of government in which each class has its distinct place, function, and representation in the government, but the individual is subordinated to the state and control is maintained by military forces, secret police, rigid censorship, and governmental regimentation of industry and finance.

Does any of that sound in any way related to anything the Republicans, who have no power in Congress, are doing or even thinking of doing?

Is it the Republicans who are doing everything they possibly can to subvert our present form of government and to impose a one-party system on us?

Or is it the Democrats?

Think hard on that question, people, for the future of our REPUBLIC depends on it.

And what about the bit about each class having its distinct place, function, and representation in the government?

Is that what the Republicans are proposing?

Or is that Hillary Clinton calling Americans who didn’t adulate her a “BASKET OF DEPLORABLES,” while Joe Biden hatefully dismisses those citizens as “DREGS OF SOCIETY?”

And skipping over control being maintained by military forces, secret police, and rigid censorship, what about governmental regimentation of industry and finance?

Isn’t that exactly what Joe Biden is doing right now as a Democrat president?

So how does Karine Jean-Pierre turn that around and hang that on the Republicans?

And the answer is, stupidly so.

And for the second definition of fascism which complements and fleshes out the first, in his then-contemporary world history of what is known to history as the Interwar Period (1918–1939), the period between the end of the First World War and the beginning of the Second World War, also called the interbellum, titled World Wars And Revolutions copyrighted 1943, at p.152, the author, Walter Phelps Hall, PhD, of Princeton, informed us as follows concerning “fascism,” to wit:

Fascism is an all-embracing doctrine which demands a one hundred percent surrender of the individual will in the name of mystical nationalism – with ends not clearly defined.

This nationalism is beyond good and evil, and thus is deified.

Therefore, fascism properly should be classed as a kind of religion like communism, the latter based on class-consciousness, the former on nationalism.

end quotes

Ah, yes, people, mystical nationalism, as in “our sacred democracy,” and such sayings as:

I ran for president because I believed we were in a battle of the soul of this nation.

I still believe that to be true.

I believe the soul is the breadth, the life and the essence of who we are.

The soul is what makes us, us.

end quotes

And that is not a Republican saying those words, people – that was Joe Biden speaking to his followers in Philadelphia in a setting from straight out of the fascist Third Reich on 1 September 2022.

So who really are the fascists here, people?

The Republicans?

Or Joe Biden?

My wife and I are frequent visitors to Cape Charles, and we have always felt that this quaint town on the Chesapeake offered a welcome respite from much of the seemingly endless, highly charged, emotional posturing found so frequently in the news and in towns and cities across America.

Cape Charles is a wonderful, beautiful place, especially for families with children, and it is perhaps uniquely well suited to provide those families with many memorable experiences. The pace of life in the town and the surrounding area, even during the summer, is measured and refreshing. The shops and restaurants welcome their patrons with pleasantness and consideration.

However, as we were walking down the Mason Avenue today, we were confronted by something that seemed to us a direct assault upon all that we had come to expect from Cape Charles.

The assault to which I am referring came in the form of a store front’s, crude, vulgar, self-indulgent rant about abortion rights which, among other things said “ Supreme Court my ass, “Keep your rosaries off my ovaries”, OMG  GOP WTF, and My Body My Choice displayed upon purposely ghostly, disturbing images.

I instantly recall a statement made over 2000 years ago by Aristotle “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it”.

It was obvious to me that these people had no interest in either entertaining ideas or in looking after the best interests of the Cape Charles community. The effect these images might have upon children or upon what should be a commitment never to privilege emotion or bias over reason, at the expense of mature dialogue about important social issues, is obviously no concern of theirs.

As Christopher Hitchens once said of those who advocate so fiercely for the abortion on demand position that they “can’t or won’t see the essential dignity of the right-to-life position”

The privately held opinions of the people who are the authors of these irresponsible and inappropriate displays would legitimately be part of a public discussion about abortion, but choosing an appropriate forum for that discussion is of vital importance and clearly, they do not care about that.

It is worth noting that these same individuals, who are so contemptuous of life-affirming attitudes, have themselves enjoyed the great privilege of having been allowed to be born and are living in this country where they now have the freedom to develop and express their opinions. 

That they engaged in their juvenile grandstanding at the expense of their fellow citizens should not go unanswered.

I sincerely hope that the town takes a stand against this sort of thing, for if this proliferates in the future, the wonderful character of the Cape Charles of today will soon disappear into the past.
