The following Op-Ed was written and submitted by Paul Plante.
Well, here it is, early Wednesday morning, November 6, 2024, and according to the election results I have available, Donald Trump is going to be our next president.
And how the Democrats will be screeching, hollering, shrieking and losing their minds, tearing out their hair, while calling “FOUL” and “RIGGED ELECTION!”
Massive cases of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME (TDS) will be the next PANDEMIC to sweep the nation.
People see Joe Biden fortifying himself in the white house to prevent a peaceful transfer of power with Charley “CHUCK” Schumer refusing to accept the election results as valid.
And as an older LOYAL AMERICAN citizen who is a political INDEPENDENT and who has lived through and remembers presidential campaigns going back to 1952 when Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower defeated Democratic Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson II in a landslide victory, I have to say this MOCKERY of a presidential campaign presented to us this time around by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Timmy Walz, Barack and Michelle Obama and the Democrats was the most insipid and disgusting and downright stupid presidential campaign to come down the pike in my lifetime!
Dignity and decorum went right out the window and we were presented with a spectacle straight out of a carnival sideshow in its place, with some overweight dude at the Democrat convention telling us his preferred personal pronouns were “she” and “her,” as if that were reason enough to cast a vote for Kamala Harris, which was just one small incident in the side show campaign and convention which demonstrated just how far out of touch with reality in America these Democrats really are.
And the weird and crazy stories that were told.
We had Whoopie Goldberg, who herself has a massive dose of TDS screaming at us on some weird show called The View ( https://www.foxnews.com/video/6363888427112 ) that Trump was going to break up interracial marriages, telling immigrant women that Trump is “going to deport you and put the White guy with someone else.”
And no, as you can clearly see in the video, I am not making that up.
And we had poor J Lo crying at some Harris rally somewhere, telling us we all should be emotional whiney-babies like her so like her, we are incapable of thinking straight (cue Lefties losing it: Rita Panahi mocks JLo for crying during Kamala Harris rally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxoiColWxKo ).
As if that was another reason to cast a vote for HARRIS/WALZ!
We had Oprah Winfrey telling us that if we did not get out and vote for Kamala Harris, it was possible we would never, ever again get a chance to cast a vote in this country again (cue Lefties losing it: ‘Mad banshee’ tries to rip Trump flag off man’s truck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTYw1yLo03o ).
And we were told that Trump was responsible for the attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband, that Trump was going to put Nancy Pelosi in jail, and that Trump was going to arrest Adam Schiff, and the ridiculous nonsense just coming and coming, as the Democrats tried to present us not with a valid presidential candidate, but with a cross between a FAIRY GODMOTHER who would grant each Democrat at least three wishes, and a QUEEN MUM, who would be there for them to make their wishes come true as we saw in the exclusive interview of Kamala by MSNBC’s “11th Hour” host Stephanie Ruhle on September 25, 2024, as follows:
RUHLE: Madam Vice President, you just laid out your economic vision for the future.
HARRIS: Yes.
RUHLE: But, still, there are lots of Americans who don’t see themselves in your plans.
For those who say, these policies aren’t for me, what do you say to them?
HARRIS: Well, if you are hardworking, if you have the dreams and the ambitions and the aspirations of what I believe you do, you’re in my plan.
I have to tell you, I really love and am so energized by what I know to be the spirit and character of the American people.
We have ambition.
We have aspirations.
We have dreams.
We can see what’s possible.
But not everyone gets handed stuff on a silver platter.
And so my vision for the economy — I call it an opportunity economy — is about making sure that all Americans, wherever they start, wherever they are, have the ability to actually achieve those dreams and those ambitions, which include, for middle-class families, just being able to know that their hard work allows them to get ahead, right?
end quotes
And that was it – that was Kamala’s plan for the economy, and now, the Democrats are surprised that we were not stupid enough to accept that as a valid economic plan for our collective futures in this country, after FOUR YEARS of BIDEN/HARRIS-O-NOMICS that have made life far more expensive for those same Americans effectively quashing their ambitions, aspirations and dreams.
Go figure!
So why did Kamala lose?
Because the Democrats thought they could serve us up a HEAPING DOSE of REAL STUPID, and then, with insults and threats, force it down our throats, this after insulting us by calling us GARBAGE (cue Lefties losing it: Kamala Harris and Tim Walz campaign falters at finish line https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LkLBQ8qHL4 ).
And that right now is the news.
And here it now is, Sunday afternoon, 10 November 2024, with Election Day 2024 now firmly behind us and thank heaven for that, say I, because I had about truly reached the outer limit of my endurance for all the political BULL**** coming our way from HARRIS/WALZ, and what a week it has been since last Tuesday, what with poor emotionally distraught soy boy/girlie man Jimmy Kimmel of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” of ABC dressed on black after the election and about to start bawling like a newborn baby on national TV (cue, Jimmy Kimmel Chokes Back Tears After Trump’s Election Win https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSMsdfY5B8s ) because HARRIS/WALZ were shown by the American people to be major league losers, and my goodness, people, who in their right mind can be surprised by that, given that just before she was UN-DEMOCRATICALLY anointed as Joe Biden’s chosen successor, as if Joe Biden were a Roman emperor instead of a US president, Kamala Harris was only seen very favorably by 16 percent of surveyed Americans according to Statista, which put her in the same league as Dick Cheney, who ended his vice presidential tenure as a deeply unpopular figure in American politics with an approval rating of 13 percent, and she already was a loser from 2019, so talk about the Democrats trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear (be unable to turn something inferior into something of value), there was a clear-cut case of it on steroids.
And despite what Michelle Obama had to say about it at a HARRIS/WALZ rally in Kalamazoo, or “Kamalazoo” as Michelle called it (see Instagram https://www.instagram.com/brutamerica/reel/DBrKOPnPmHm/ ), as if anybody would actually listen to Michelle Obama for advice and guidance on who to vote for, for US president, Kamala Harris and Timmy Walz were never viable presidential or vice presidential candidates, and only s0meone living in LA-LA-LAND like Michelle with her thousand dollar shoes, or someone seriously deluded whose wits had long since departed from their brain pan could have mistaken them for such!
To the contrary, they were caricatures (a picture, description, or imitation of a person in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a comic or grotesque effect).
Take Timmy Walz, for example, seen here in his manly garb ( https://www.c-span.org/video/?539206-1/governor-tim-walz-campaigns-volant-pennsylvania ) as if Timmy was just back from hunting moose or grizzly bears, as he campaigned on October 15, 2024 in Volant, Pennsylvania, which appearance immediately brought to mind a comparison of Timmy with the venerable Elmer Fudd hunting the elusive Bugs Bunny (cue Youtube Compilation of Elmer Fudd using his gun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrslcxTszV0 ).
And after his hilarious attempt to load a shotgun (cue Youtube Tim Walz Embarrasses Himself Going Shooting, Can’t Load A Shotgun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhpiCVYfj_M ), who other than a Jimmy Kimmel possibly take Timmy Walz seriously?
And my goodness, people, as weird and bizarre as Timmy was, his whacky wife Gwen was even worse (cue Minnesota first lady Gwen Walz declares it’s time to ‘turn the page’ on Trump in speech https://www.foxnews.com/video/6361989106112 ).
Apparently, Gwen didn’t realize when she was talking about “turning the page,” that it had been BIDEN/HARRIS in power these last four years, not Trump, so the American people did in fact follow her advice by turning the page on BIDEN/HARRIS by thoroughly rejecting HARRIS/WALZ as more of the same.
Talk about people being out of touch with reality, Gwen Walz is up near the top of that list, if not perched on the pinnacle!
And then, there was Kamala herself, seen here in what was determined by many in America to be one of her best moments on the campaign trail, bar none – Kamala Harris stuns crowd to awkward silence at rally in Michigan, The Telegraph https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1hRK66yzUo .
And we were supposed to think that she was somehow presidential material with that silly, juvenile performance?
And how about the glowing endorsement she received from HIP-HOP star Cardi B, and no, I don’t have a clue as to who Cardi B. is or why anybody would vote for Kamala Harris after listening to her endorsement , which went as follows according to the Daily Mail article titled “Cardi B unleashes expletive-laden rant over criticism for bungling speech at Kamala rally” by Melissa Koenig on 4 November 2024, as follows:
Cardi B has unleashed an expletive-laden rant over criticism for her bungling speech at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris.
The rapper went on to tell her followers they would still hear why the WAP singer supports the vice president for the nation’s highest office.
‘Y’all gonna hear what the f*** I had to say and I’m proud of myself,’ she said, telling her followers in a follow-up video that she has ‘gotta give myself more kudos cause sometimes I’m a little hard on myself.
‘But like yo, I really did that s***.”
“Like a b*** was really stripping on poles and all, and I’m here.’
She went on to say that after meeting Harris, she realized ‘like yo, she means f***ing business, she’s a f***ing boss.
‘And she’s really determined to win this s***,’ Cardi B said.
‘She’s moving like she gotta prove a point.’
‘Once a woman feel like she gotta prove a point, we’re gonna f***ing step on it, and that’s how she was acting.’
‘I f*** with you,’ the rapper said of the vice president.
‘I f*** with her because she a real b****.’
‘She’s not acting like she don’t see it.’
‘Y’all need to understand she was waiting for her turn.’
‘She was studying, she couldn’t do much, but now she finna do it.’
‘And she promised me, and she looked at me in my eye like a gangster.’
‘She was like, “Watch, I’m gonna change this s*** the f*** up, I promise you.”‘
‘I was like, “Oh yo, she’s a little gangster,”‘ the rapper recounted.
‘And I believe in her.’
The vice president has received a slew of celebrity endorsements, with only one day to go before the election.
Among those whose endorsements she was able to secure were Eminem, footballer Travis Kelce and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Several actors have even filmed commercials supporting her, including Billy Eichner and Will Ferrell, and more recently Harrison Ford.
end quotes
And as a result, she lost BIG TIME, and no wonder, which brings us to time for a commercial break and station identification, but don’t to9uch that dial, because we will be right back with more!
And let me come back here and say to make it patently clear that being against HARRIS/WALZ in no way, shape or manner means that I am or was for Trump.
I was for Tulsi Gabbard.
But that is history, and Trump is the president-elect, and given the election results, he was clearly perceived as the lesser of two evils, and that is that – American history was made and now we all have to live with it, except, this being a highly divided America, there are people out there who not only won’t live with it (cue Anti-Trump Protests Erupt Across US From New York City To Seattle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKSjIA73-s4 ), but instead, are already getting violent about it (see Aljazeera “Protests against Donald Trump’s win turn violent” https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/11/11/protests-against-donald-trumps-win-turn-violent ) as they are egged on to destruction by such television notables as the soy boy/girlie man Jimmy Kimmel and Sunny Hostin of ABC’s “The View,” who is spewing this weird, inane garbage on national television (cue CRYBABY Sunny Hostin loses it over TRUMP win – The VIEW in MOURNING @ 9:24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP2yQV7MY7c ) that as a result of Trump winning, her daughter now has less rights (yes, people, she actually did say that on national television @ 9:41), which has to be one of the most stupid, inane, and bizarre charges to come down the pike ever in the history of network televisi0n, and get this people, Sunny Hostin is a lawyer who is billed by ABC as a “legal expert,” so how is that for gaslighting people!
If ABC’s Sunny Hostin is somehow a “legal expert” with that bizarre comment about her daughter n0ow having less rights because HARRIS/WALZ went down to defeat, as they should have, then I know of a couple of neighborhood dogs that are Rhodes scholars!
I mean, come on here, people – how on earth could it be that Sunny Hostin’s daughter now has less rights when BIDEN/HARRIS is still in power, and will be until January 20, 2025, and absolutely nothing else has changed in this country?
And yet, as was said in the video above, she, Sunny Hostin, is talking that **** to millions of people out there, she is influencing the actions of those so weak-witted and downright stupid and uninformed that they don’t know that you don’t lose any rights the day after an election whose outcome you didn’t happen to like, and in my opinion as a LOYAL AMERICAN citizen over seventy years of age is that ABC’s “legal expert” Sunny Hostin is intentionally provoking violence and disorder in this country, which is highly irresponsible behavior on her part, as well as the part of ABC which broadcasts that horse**** from Sunny Hostin to the world.
And here, let’s take a break and cut to station identification, and when we come back, we’ll have Sunny, who really should be called “cloudy with violent squalls,” running down and insulting white women and Hispanic men, so stay tuned and don’t touch that dial!
I’d stop worrying about Harris and Waltz.
Biden still has two months to dump a few more trillion dollars here and there, get us into a war, pardon Hunter and Puff Daddy, import more illegals, empower perverts, act like a dimwit. and screw things up even more.
No worries, Mr. Rasputin.
To the contrary, simply the reflections of an older LOYAL American combat veteran, like yourself, on an election just gone by, in the form of an analytical analysis of how this everyday American citizen, who like yourself has lived through many campaigns and many elections, sees the SPIN, CRASH and BURN of HARRIS/WALZ – an after action report, if you will, for the sake of posterity, since there always is a tomarrow yet to come.
And it gives me a chance to sink my teeth into these Democrat talking heads like whiney baby Jimmy Kimmel, who according to his published bio was never a veteran, which would work to be a benefit to those were actually were veterans at that time when for the good of the country, he chose to not serve as a way of keeping our troops safe from someb0dy like him who simply was too emotionally frail to be able to carry his weight in a combat situation, or even training, for that matter, and the air-headed “Cloudy Day with Rain” Hostin of ABC for what I consider to be reckless speech on national TV for no other purpose than to incite acts of violence against OUR GOVERNMENT and OUR DEMOCRACY, which produced a result they don’t like, and so they are lashing out, and I in my turn am calling them out for doing so, courtesy of that GRAND PALLIDIUM of OUR LIBERTY, the venerable Cape Charles Mirror, without which people like myself would be voiceless, so it has nothing to do with Kamala Harris, or Timmy Walz, and everything to do with the NATIONAL DIALOGUE the day after the election.
You and I took an oath to defend OUR CONSTITUTION against DOMESTIC ENEMIES like soy boy/girlie man Jimmy Kimmel and this brainless lawyerette and ABC “LEGAL EXPERT” Sunny Hostin, and this is how I choose to do it, with non-violence, by calling them out and heaping opprobrium on them along with ridicule and contempt.
Like you, I fought for the right to be able to do so, and I am enjoying myself in the doing.
And thanks for stopping by and thanks for your service and welcome home.
And by the way, Kamala isn’t gone – she is still one heartbeat away from the oval office and the nuclear codes.
Something to think about as she will still be there until 20 January 2025.
And she will be there on 6 January 2025, as well, when the electoral votes are to be counted, with her army of protestors in the streets, so this story still has legs and room to run!
Just saying.
In the Preface to “Dereliction of Duty – Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, The Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Viet Nam” by H.R. McMaster, copyright 1997, the author stated as follows about Democrat Lyndon Baines Johnson’s ******-up fiasco in Viet Nam called the Viet Nam war, a war, such as it was, that I am a twice-wounded veteran of, as follows:
Despite scores of books on the subject, the WHY and HOW of direct U.S. intervention in the Vietnam War remains unclear.
The war continues to capture the public interest in part because, looking back, its cost seems exorbitant – and would seem so even if the United States had “won”.
The war took the lives of fifty-eight thousand Americans and well over one million Vietnamese.
It left Vietnam in ruins and consumed billions of American dollars, nearly wrecking the American economy.
Vietnam divided American society and inflicted upon the United States one of the greatest political traumas since the Civil War.
Indeed, the war’s legacies proved to be as profound as the war was traumatic.
IT LED AMERICANS TO QUESTION THE INTEGRITY OF THEIR GOVERNMENT AS NEVER BEFORE.
end quotes
And indeed, it did, which leads forward through time from then to today and this thread reflecting on the just concluded 2024 presidential election and the SPIN, CRASH and BURN of TEAM HARRIS/WALZ, where courtesy of the venerable Cape Charles Mirror, I am continuing to perform that citizenship duty in the face of all the lies we were told during this campaign cycle, especially about the mental health of sitting Democrat American president Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior, which takes us to p.37 of “Dereliction of Duty – Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, The Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Viet Nam” by H.R. McMaster, to wit:
Although U.S. advisors were fighting with South Vietnamese units and U.S. pilots were flying combat missions in South Vietnam, Kennedy denied that Americans were involved in combat, and Vietnam attracted little public or congressional attention.
Vietnam was far from front-page news and Americans still believed that their government told them the truth.
end quotes
Ah, yes, people an Age of Innocence here in America, and I was one of those people back then who did believe that the Washington government and the media, whether television or the newspapers, were in fact telling us the truth, when in fact, we were being buried in a concerted series of lies, and back then, if you were a rural person like myself, that being an age where there was no internet (Al Gore hadn’t invented it yet) and no cell phones, there was no way to research the matter and to debunk the lies, so we were stuck with them such as the DOMINO THOERY (be scared, people, be very, very scared, because if our boys don’t stop them over there, it won’t be Panama Red your woman is up in bed with, it’ll be some Viet Cong, and you’ll be lucky if you get to share the dog house with the dog)!
So off to Viet Nam people like myself went, and the rest is history.
On February 27, 2018, the face of Walter Cronkite, the anchorman for the CBS Evening News for 19 years, from 1962 to 1981, came on television, this after he made a special reporting trip to Vietnam, to pronounce the war a deadlock, telling his audience of millions that the war could not be won (cue Walter Cronkite calls for the U.S. to get out of Vietnam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn2RjahTi3M ), and thirty-three (33) days after that, Lyndon Baines Johnson announced that he would not run for re-election.
But for people like myself back then, that was all immaterial, because we were Viet Nam bound, whether the war, based on lies as it was, could be won or not!
And America’s AGE of INNOCENCE came to an end, just like that.
And the lies never stopped!
To the contrary, as we all have just witnessed during this campaign cycle, the lies have just kept coming and coming and coming, especially about Joe Biden’s seriously deteriorated state of mental health, and despite the end of the election cycle, they continue to come!
And to me, a LOYAL American citizen who is neither a Democrat nor a Republican, we as citizens of this country have a clear duty to stand up to those lies, and call them out!
Hence this thread!
It has been my experience in life that there are times when the stream of consciousness comes to a cosmic rock in the stream and parts such that one branch then ends up in an eddy or whirlpool, and such has been the case with me with respect to the statement above of McMaster that Vietnam divided American society and inflicted upon the United States one of the greatest political traumas since the Civil War.
What I became hung up on was the statement that that “Vietnam divided American society,” with me arguing with myself, but did it, and then, how did it, because during what I call the “Viet Nam times” in America, America was indeed a nation that was very much divided, with parents disowning their male offspring who did not want to go to Viet Nam, or even serve in the military, while others fled this country for Canada.
So, was it Viet Nam itself that divided this country as it did?
But how could Viet Nam do that, when back then, I doubt many people, including myself, didn’t even know where it was, or why it should be any concern of ours?
Consider, as hard as it is to do for a younger generation that has never been without an I-phone or access to TikTok and SnapChat and Bumble and X and FaceBook, that this is a time in American history when we were largely totally disconnected as a people, given that cell phones did not exist, and computers did not exist and the internet did not exist.
All there was, was the television, whose content we had no control over, the newspapers, whose content we had no control over, and the radio, whose content we had no control over, or rather, the c0ntrol we did have was the on-off switch and the dial, or leave the newspaper on the shelf, unread.
And what we did not have back then, as well, was this plethora of talking heads that exist today, like Sunny Hoston the alleged and supposed “legal expert” on ABC who is doing her best to divide us, the soy boy/girlie man Jimmy Kimmel, who like Sunny is doing his best to divide us, and all of their cohorts who are doing their best to divide us, and still, during the Viet Nam times, we did manage to become very divided, a nation very much at war with itself, as it has once again become today.
What we did not have back then was the inflammatory rhetoric that we have today from these same talking heads, which inflammatory rhetoric I personally find quite dangerous.
Consider this with respect to this inflammatory rhetoric we are confronted with today in this country that is definitely intended to divide us worse than was the case back in the Viet Nam times, this from the Daily Caller article titled “KJP Accuses Reporter Of Being ‘Unfair’ As She Asks About White House Previously Calling Trump A ‘Threat To Democracy’” by Nicole Silverio on 8 November 2024, to wit:
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre snapped at Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich at the White House press briefing Thursday, accusing the reporter of twisting her words about President-elect Donald Trump.
Heinrich contrasted the White House’s warnings that Trump is a “threat to democracy” and claims that he intends to strip Americans of their rights if he is reelected, with President Joe Biden telling the public on Thursday that Americans will be okay.
“This administration messaged to millions of Americans that they’re gonna wake up the day after the election if Trump won and have their rights stripped away, that democracy would crumble, and the president said today that we’re gonna be okay.”
“So how do you square that?” Heinrich asked.
Heinrich then asked if the White House can “lead by example” after making people fear for their lives due to their warnings, leading Jean-Pierre to accuse her of being “unfair.”
“So lead by example is the message to people who are fearful based on what the messaging was about the stakes?” Heinrich asked.
The White House has repeatedly accused Trump and his supporters of being “extremist threats to our democracy” and has attempted to outline the dangers if the now-president-elect served a second term.
Jean-Pierre said that the White House’s official position is that Trump is a “fascist” during an Oct. 23 briefing.
end quotes
That, people, is incredible, which takes us back in time in America t0 the late 1800’s, another time in this country’s history when we were again highly divided:
Roscoe Conkling of Utica, was a dominating figure in American National politics during the last half of the Nineteenth Century.
In 1876, Senator Conkling was a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.
He was unsuccessful.
Rutherford B. Hayes being nominated and elected Senator Conkling advocated the nomination of General Grant for a third term in 1880.
Conkling’s party opponent, James G. Blaine, was also a candidate.
James A. Garfield, friendly to the Blaine faction, was nominated and elected.
A bitter party feud now ensued between the Conkling and Blaine groups.
The Conkling followers called themselves “Stalwarts” and their opponents “Half-Breeds,’ names which came into general use.
The climax was reached when President Garfield nominated W. H. Robertson for Collector of the Port of New York.
The Conkling New York State Republican machine opposed this nomination.
When President Garfield refused to withdraw it both United States Senators from New York State, Roscoe Conkling and Thomas C. Platt, resigned.
They became candidates for re-election but were defeated, after a contest of 48 ballots, by Warner Miller of Herkimer and Elbridge G. Latham, who were elected by the New York State Legislature on July 17, 1881.
There was never a more violent partisan conflict in the history of America, since the Leislerians and anti-Leislerians of 1689-1700, in New York State.
President Garfield was assassinated on July 2, 1881, by a lunatic crazed by the prevalent political fury.
end quotes
Think about that last sentence there, people!
Think about how many lunatics in this highly divided country today have been crazed by this political fury emanating from right out of Joe Biden’s hate-filled Washington white house, and the failed HARRIS/WALZ campaign, and CNN, MSNBC and ABC, as well.
And keeping in mind those times that resulted in the assassination of President Garfield, and the highly divided Viet Nam times in this country, and ask yourself this critical question:
WHERE THE HELL IS THIS NATION GOING?
With that type of inflammatory, reckless rhetoric coming from at us from on high in Washington, D.C. to divide us, what kind of a future are we facing?
A nation once again at war with itself?
And once again, fo9r the moment, that is the news!
So, everyone, now that our sacred democracy has spoken, and spoken big, what can possibly be wrong with the American people (see Entertainment, “Sunny Hostin stokes tense fight on The View for asking ‘what’s wrong with America?’ after election: ‘Voters are the problem?” by Joey Nolfi on November 8, 2024 https://ew.com/sunny-hostin-view-tense-fight-voters-8742169 ) for soundly rejecting SHE/HER (Kamala Harris), Timmy Walz, and the THEY/THEM (cue Lefties losing it: ‘Weird’ Walz falls apart while MSNBC hosts go mad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5w7QMR4iWM ) that Kamala and Timmy, who in his mind carried a weapon of war in a real shooting war where the **** was coming in on Timmy’s position hot and heavy and fast and furious as the Viet Cong and some North Koreans tried to overrun his artillery position in Iraq, where Timmy killed 30 Taliban with one cann0n ball, were the champions of?
And that’s a no brainer, pe0ple – ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER!
To the contrary, by soundly rejecting HARRIS/WALZ and what can only be called their menagerie (a strange or diverse collection of people) of followers (cue Lefties losing it: Rita Panahi reacts to the best lefty breakdowns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOWmg0tnV_w&t=66s ) the American people showed themselves to be lucid, sane and rational, not deranged like “LEGAL EXPERT” Sunny Hostin, and soy boy/girlie man “CRYING” Jimmy Kimmel, both of whom hate our sacred democracy because it did not deliver them up the result that they demanded from it, poor babies.
As to Sunny, more properly known as “BLACK CLOUDS, RAIN STORMS AND SQUALLS” Hostin, consider the article in The Hill titled “Sunny Hostin: Presidential election a ‘referendum of cultural resentment’” by Lauren Irwin on 7 November 2024, where we have “LEGAL EXPERT” Sunny emoting as follows:
ABC’s “The View” host Sunny Hostin expressed disappointment with the outcome of the presidential election, calling it a “referendum of cultural resentment.”
end quote
HUH?
Cultural resentment?
What in the hell is “cultural resentment,” other than some weird and bizarre claim “LEGAL EXPERT” Sunny came up with out of her ***?
According to WebMD, and Sunny should pay great heed to this, resentment such as she clearly suffers from is a buildup of negative emotions such as anger, frustration, and disappointment.
It often comes from feeling like you’ve been wronged.
Signs include behavior such as withdrawing and acting out.
If not addressed, it can damage your relationships and lead to mental and physical health issues.
Going back to the story, it continues as follows, to wit:
Hostin and the other hosts of the show gathered Wednesday morning to discuss President-elect Trump’s victory.
“I’m profoundly disturbed,” Hostin began, as highlighted by Mediaite.
end quotes
Yes, people, she clearly is both mentally and emotionally disturbed, to the point of where her ability to think rationally, if she ever even had it, and use reason has shut right down tight, so that she is reduced to mouthing inane gibberish on network TV, which again takes us back to the story, to wit:
“I’m surprised at the results, but I’m not surprised,” she said.
“As a woman of color, I was so hopeful that a mixed-race woman married to a Jewish guy could be elected president of this country,” Hostin continued.
end quotes
And talk about shallow-thinking, people, there we have it on steroids!
Poor Sunny is having a mental and emotional background because the American people wanted more, much more, than a mixed-race woman married to a Jewish guy as the president of the United States of America!
And with respect to the “Jewish guy,” that being Doug Emhoff, to so-called “second gentleman” of America, when the dude is as far from a gentleman can be and still be on the planet, let’s first cue Youtube, Watch Jen Psaki Praise Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff For “Reshaping the Perception of Masculinity” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOkAjVTQmW0 , and then go to an article in the Daily Mail titled “EXCLUSIVE – Kamala Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff ‘forcefully slapped ex-girlfriend for flirting with another man’ in booze-fueled assault after date to star-studded gala” by Josh Boswell on 2 October 2024, for a look at what Jen Psaki considers the model American man, from the standpoint of a Democrat, anyway, to wit:
Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband assaulted his ex-girlfriend, three friends have told Dailymail.com.
The Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, 59, allegedly struck the woman in the face so hard she spun around, while waiting in a valet line late at night after a May 2012 Cannes Film Festival event in France.
One of her friends told DailyMail.com that the woman called him immediately after the incident, sobbing in her cab, and described the alleged assault.
DailyMail.com is not naming the woman, who is a successful New York attorney, but will refer to her by the pseudonym ‘Jane’.
A second friend said Jane, who had been dating Emhoff for three months, also told her about the alleged violence at the time.
A third friend told DailyMail.com that Jane first told her in 2014 that she had dated Emhoff, and recounted the full story of his alleged abuse in 2018, when then senator Harris was in the news after grilling Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in a Senate hearing over sexual assault allegations.
The friends, who all asked not to be named for fear of retaliation by Emhoff, shared with DailyMail.com pictures of him and Jane together from 2012, and other documents and communications corroborating elements of the story.
The shocking claims follow revelations by DailyMail.com that Emhoff cheated on his first wife and mother of his two kids around 2008, allegedly impregnating his daughter’s nanny who also worked as her grade school teacher.
Emhoff admitted the affair with the nanny and teacher, Najen Naylor, after DailyMail.com published the story last month.
All three of Jane’s friends said she also told them about a disturbing alleged incident during her relationship with the Second Gentleman, in which Emhoff nonchalantly admitted to impregnating Naylor.
But the Second Gentleman allegedly confessed to Jane that he paid Naylor a settlement of around $80,000, and had the nanny sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
He has also spoken out in media interviews about being an ally to women and against toxic masculinity.
In a fawning interview on Sunday, MSNBC host and former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki told Emhoff that he ‘reshaped the perception of masculinity’ – despite his admitted affair with his daughter’s nanny and teacher.
These allegations strike to the heart of his benevolent image, promoted by the Harris presidential campaign.

That, people, is who Sunny Hostin wanted in OUR white house along with Kamala Harris.
Think about that, people, and stay tuned, because the insults being hurled at us by Sunny do not stop there, so don’t touch that dial and we will be right back after this break for station identification.
And before we get back to the mental and emotional meltdown of ABC News “LEGAL EXPERT” Sunny Hostin, who appears to be one 0f those kind of Democrat women like Jen Psaki, who prefers a MACHO MAN in their lives like Doug Emhoff, who like to keep their women in line by slapping the **** out of them when they need it to show them who is the boss, let’s go back in time to just before the infamous BIDEN/TRUMP DEBATE, for some necessary background on how we came to be here, in what was truly a point of inflection for America, by first cueing “Lefties losing it: Sky News host roasts ‘leftie’ Jill Biden after Trump rant” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsadVGIMx2w , where we have some truly historic language from Creepy Jill concerning the then up-coming debate.
Which brings us back in time to a State Of The Union article titled “‘The View’ host warns against President Biden debating Trump” by Ethan Anderson on 23 February 2024, where we had this bit of verbiage from our own Sunny Hostin about the up-coming debate to consider, to wit:
A discussion among “The View” co-hosts centered around whether President Biden should debate Donald Trump, with varying opinions on the matter.
Some argued that Biden could lose the debate if he makes a mistake, while others questioned the necessity of a debate given Trump’s actions post-election.
“I don’t need to see someone who has been twice-impeached and is a disgrace and a one-term president with 91 counts facing him.”
“I think it legitimizes him, I don’t need to be gaslit by Trump.”
“We all know who he is.”
“We know what he stands for, we also know that Biden debated him twice and just, like, sort of mopped the floor with him,” Sunny Hostin said.
end quotes
So, by way of review, 23 February 2024, and Sunny, the ABC “LEGAL EXPERT,” was predicting a Biden victory, which takes us to a Youtube video of Creepy Jill Biden treating senile old Joe like a two-year old still being potty-trained, this in front of an audience right after the BIDEN/TRUMP debate, as Joe stands there like a stuffed stage prop: Jill Biden praises Joe for answering ‘every question’ during debate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjSDCIXChfA .
At that point, the old gaffer and Creepy Jill still thought the old gaffer could beat Trump, but as we see from this YouTube video from June 28, 2024 titled #SunnyHostin reacts to last night’s #debate between Pres. Biden and former Pres. Trump https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSFaOPyNO0A , our Sunny was conceding to herself and the nation that Joe Biden actually lost the debate, which we can consider the ALPHA MOMENT in her meltdown that we are now witnessing today.
As we all will recall, it was right after Creepy Jill was congratulating senile old Joe in that video for answering every question during the debate, even if the gaffer had no clear idea as to what he was talking about, followed by Sunny Hostin admitting that actually, contrary to what Creepy Jill Biden thought, Joe had lost the debate, that the Democrats en mass turned against Joe, and forced him out of the race, which is how we ended up with HARRIS/WALZ instead, as we see in an article in The Telegraph titled “The dire warning from Nancy Pelosi that pushed Biden to change his mind” by Nick Squires on 23 July 2024, to wit:
For weeks, he had stonewalled increasingly strident calls that he abandon his faltering bid for reelection, but in the end it was damning new polling data that finally convinced Joe Biden to drop out of the race.
end quote
And that takes us to Sunny Hostin on Facebook where we have Sunny, who was still happy back then, feeling good about Joe Biden dropping out of the race, telling us that in her opinion as an ABC “LEGAL EXPERT”, “history will note Joe Biden as one of the greatest presidents that we have had” (boy, was she ever delusional) “who can put the country before his ego” (talk about gaslighting on steroids) which takes us back to the Telegraph article where this following was pure “knife the old gaffer in the back and throw him in the ditch” Democrat party politics in action, which Sunny doesn’t talk about, to wit:
As if that wasn’t enough, there was a stark warning from Democrat heavyweight Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House.
She had orchestrated a behind-the-scenes campaign to convince Mr Biden to withdraw from the contest – and her patience was fast running out.
“Nancy made clear that they could do this the easy way or the hard way,” one Democrat familiar with how events at the weekend panned out told Politico.
“She gave them three weeks of the easy way.”
“It was about to be the hard way.”
The end, when it came, was swift and dramatic.
After weeks of insisting that his physical frailty, verbal gaffes and disastrous public appearances were nothing to worry about, the president changed his mind.
Not only were the polls bad.
There were more senior Democrats waiting in the wings to publicly urge him to step down.
A powerful group of Democrats in the House and Senate were intending to call for his withdrawal from the race either on Monday or Tuesday.
“We were giving him the respect of the weekend to make his decision,” one of them told Politico.
Some of the assessments from senior Democrats were withering.
The president finally accepted what many friends and allies had been saying, privately and publicly, for three weeks – that he was no longer up to the challenge of seeking another four years in office.
Mr Biden’s family, including his wife Jill, his sister Valerie and his son Hunter, who had been urging him to stay in the race, also reportedly changed their minds, cognisant of the immense strain that a reelection bid would put on a man whose frailties were increasingly evident.
But the change of heart was known only to a tiny clique of family and aides.
Campaign officials were still insisting that Mr Biden was determined to stay in the fight.
As late as Saturday, plans were being made for him to hit the campaign trail in Georgia and Texas, as long as he was given the all clear from Covid.
On Saturday evening, members of the Biden inner circle said that he was resolute about seeking reelection, “no ifs, ands or buts”.
Having finally made the decision, the president and his inner circle were determined to control the narrative.
Jill Biden, the First Lady, was particularly insistent that her 81-year-old husband’s dignity be maintained.
By Sunday morning, the die was cast.
end quotes
Jill Biden was particularly insistent that her 81-year-old husband’s dignity be maintained?
What dignity after she was seen treating Joe like a dim-witted two-year old right after the disastrous debate?
Which bring us back to the present, and ABC “LEGAL EXPERT” Sunny Hostin indicting and convicting, without a shred of evidence, Hispanic men en mass of being misogynists like Doug Emhoff in the Daily Mail article titled “The View star Sunny Hostin says Latinos didn’t vote for Kamala because ‘they’re misogynistic'” by Will Potter on 8 November 2024, to wit:
Sunny Hostin branded Hispanic voters ‘sexist and misogynistic’ after Kamala Harris lost a significant portion of the voter bloc in the presidential election.
end quote
Yes, people, key word: BRANDED!
Going back to the insults from Sunny Hostin, who is so much superior to us all because she is a lawyer who portrays a “LEGAL EXPERT” on network television it’s not funny, we have more from her, as follows:
The View star clashed with co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin as they led a liberal media-wide meltdown over Donald Trump’s thumping victory.
Farah Griffin, a former Trump administration official, brought up that Harris won Latino voters by just six points, despite Joe Biden winning the group by 33 points in 2020 and Hillary Clinton by 38 points in 2016.
‘Finally, we talk a lot about these different demographics and assumptions of where they’re going to go,’ Farah Griffin said, noting that one Texas district with a 97 percent Latino population ‘went 75 percentage points for Donald Trump.’
‘Why?’ she questioned, before Hostin interrupted her co-host and said ‘misogyny.’
Farah Griffin grew irate and threw her hands in the air at Hostin’s remark, and stressed that liberals ‘need to take some lessons’ from Trump’s resounding win.
‘No!’
‘It’s the border!’ Griffin responded to Hostin.
‘The border crisis is on their doorstep, and they were begging people to care about it for years, and we need to take some lessons.’
Hostin then doubled down on her comment and insisted again that ‘misogyny and sexism’ are the reason Hispanic voters rejected Harris.
‘The lessons are not misogyny and sexism!’ a maddened Farah Griffin responded.
As the panel descended into a hostile argument, Whoopi Goldberg waded into the spat and broke the tension with a joke, saying: ‘Knock knock, who’s there?’
‘Oh my gosh, it’s Whoopi.’
end quotes
And as an aside, Whoopie Goldberg is on that show because she used to give advice to the captain of a starship on television, and so, that makes her a person we all should be listening to and taking advice from, as if she were in fact an oracle (a priestess acting as a medium through whom advice or prophecy was sought from the gods in classical antiquity) which takes us back to Sunny and her insults, to wit:
The exchange led many to criticize Hostin for broadly painting millions of Hispanic voters as bigoted while overlooking the reasons they may have voted for Trump, with one X user noting that ‘this is not going to work in future elections.’
end quote
But it was not only millions of Hispanic voters ABC “LEGAL EXPERT” Sunny Hostin was denouncing, with no evidence, as being bigoted, as we see in this New York Post article titled “‘The View’ co-host Sunny Hostin blames ‘uneducated white women’ for Trump’s victory” by David Spector on November 6, 2024, where we have Sunny on a roll, spitting her toxic venom, heaping her vitriol (cruel and bitter criticism as in “the TV host’s sudden gush of fury and vitriol”) on white women as well, to wit:
“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin slammed “uneducated white women” for Donald Trump’s victory and said she’s worried about “internment camps” during a moribund episode of the program Wednesday.

Pray for her, people!
The woman has what appears to be a fatal case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME that is eating out the cells of her brain and is making her into a gibbering idiot!
Q: WHAT DO YOU CALL A LAWYER WITH AN IQ OF 22.0235?
A: A LEGAL EXPERT ON “THE VIEW” ON ABC!
In the original post in this series of reflections on the 2024 presidential campaign season and election, courtesy of the venerable Cape Charles Mirror, the only GRAND PALLADIUM of LIBERTY we common folks in America have, I stated that I was an older LOYAL AMERICAN citizen who is a political INDEPENDENT and who has lived through and remembers presidential campaigns going back to 1952 when Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower defeated Democratic Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson II in a landslide victory.
I then said that this MOCKERY of a presidential campaign presented to us this time around by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Timmy Walz, Barack and Michelle Obama and the Democrats was the most insipid and disgusting and downright stupid presidential campaign to come down the pike in my lifetime!
Dignity and decorum went right out the window and we were presented with a spectacle straight out of a carnival sideshow in its place, with Timmy Walz jumping around and skipping and prancing around on the stage like a real dip****, while some overweight dude at the Democrat convention dressed up like a girl was telling us his preferred personal pronouns were “she” and “her,” as if that were reason enough to cast a vote for Kamala Harris, and those were just two incidents in the side show campaign and convention which demonstrated just how far out of touch with reality in America these Democrats really are today.
And since I made that claim, as an older American who sees this as a “teaching moment,” I feel that it is incumbent upon me to present some credible evidence to justify my claims, and there is no better proof that I can present today than the first presidential debate between then-Democrat contender John Fitzgerald Kennedy, perhaps the last American president I had any respect for, and Richard Millhouse “I’M NOT A CROOK” Nixon on September 26, 1960, in Chicago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYP8-oxq8ig , that being the first-ever televised debate between presidential candidates in this country in our history.
As the video starts, look at the body language of JFK versus that of Nixon.
When I talk about dignity and decorum above here, I am talking about JFK, a Naval officer in the Pacific during WWII, who exemplified those qualities.
Listen to the opening remarks of Kennedy and look him in the eye as you are doing so, and then compare him to the ever-shifting eyes of Kamala Harris today (cue, Youtube, Harris says Trump “must never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXlKh140wdg ).
Lisen to his message to the American people, and compare it to anything cackling Kamala Harris, to whom everything seemed a joke, said during her campaign.
And this being America, you be the judge!
There was a time in America, if it can be believed after this BILLION DOLLAR PLUS “bread and circuses” theatrical “campy drama,” defined as being so extreme that it has an amusing appeal, while being so over the top and farcical and intentionally exaggerated so as not to be taken seriously, which is exactly what we were presented with this past election season by Kamala Harris, the slovenly and pudgy Timmy Walz, and the Democrats, when there were no presidential campaigns.
According to an article titled “The Origins of Modern Campaigning: 1860-1932” by the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College, we had as follows at the beginning of this nation’s history, to wit:
Within a decade of George Washington’s non-partisan elections to the presidency, political parties emerged.
Voters could choose among the Federalists, Democratic-Republicans, Democrats, Whigs, and finally, in 1854, Republicans.
Presidential candidates initially did not travel to campaign: they were called to be the nominees but it was considered inappropriate to ask voters directly to vote for them.
end quotes
In other words, shamelessly pandering for votes, as Kamala Harris. was doing, with her electoral bribery, was considered undignified and “low class” for a person aspiring to fill this nation’s highest elected position,
Going back to the article, it continues, as follows:
Thus it was up to local supporters to organize campaign events and speak on their behalf.
Parades, rallies, and stump speeches by surrogates were followed on Election Day by voter drives in taverns and on the streets.
Partisan newspapers were another part of the mix aligning themselves with a particular party and openly slanting news coverage to favor allies and excoriate enemies.
Commercial publishers quickly realized they could make money by printing and selling broadsides, cards, and prints depicting the candidates of all parties.
As one of Lincoln’s supporters noted, “I am coming to believe that likenesses broad cast, are excellent means of electioneering.”
And an opponent complained, “the country is flooded with pictures of Lincoln, in all conceivable shapes and sizes, and cheap.”
end quotes
According to Statista today, on the occasion of the 2024 United States presidential election, political advertising in the world’s largest economy has climbed to unprecedented heights.
In 2024, political ad spending was expected to add up to over 10 billion U.S. dollars, reaching a new peak.
While most of that haul was devoted to traditional media – mostly TV – buys, digital media was forecast to claim 28 percent of 2024’s political ad spend.
end quotes
Then, we had what were known as “front porch campaigns.” which unlike this highly scripted and glittery KAMALA HARRIS EXTRAVAGANZA we were just presented with, which were low-key electoral campaigns used in American politics in which the candidate remained close to or at home where they issued written statements and give speeches to supporters who come to visit.
Unlike today, the candidate largely did not travel around or otherwise actively campaign.
The successful presidential campaigns of James A. Garfield in 1880, Benjamin Harrison in 1888, and William McKinley in 1896 are perhaps the best-known front porch campaigns.
While McKinley was at his Canton, Ohio, home conducting his “front-porch campaign”, Marcus Alonzo Hanna (September 24, 1837 – February 15, 1904) an American businessman and Republican politician who served as a United States Senator from Ohio as well as chairman of the Republican National Committee, also a friend and political ally of President William McKinley, was out raising millions to help with the campaign and Hanna also arranged for various delegations to visit McKinley and hear him deliver a short speech that would then be circulated by the newspapers.
These delegations were made up of various interest and demographic groups.
William McKinley received more than $16 million in contributions for his 1896 campaign — an exorbitant sum for the time.
Additionally, the campaigns of both McKinley and his opponent, William Jennings Bryan, were plagued with accusations of bribery and unethical behavior.
McKinley’s chief fundraiser Mark Hanna, in particular, courted corporations with promises of a big-business-friendly agenda and raised more than $6 million.
When discussing American politics, Hanna is famously quoted as saying, “There are two things that are important in politics.”
“The first is money and I can’t remember what the second one is.”
And thus, we were set on the road that led us to today, where after spending over a BILLION DOLLARS trying to buy the election, HARRIS/WALZ came in a distant second.
And that takes us to the subject of “political messaging.”
In American politics today, what is known as “messaging” is quite important, and here we see the stark divide between the two campaigns, with Trump’s “politics of hope and joy,” on the one hand, as we see in “Donald Trump – Dance Party With Beyonce” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY894giLaRo , where EVERYONE is not only feeling the joy and having fun, but further communicating that joy to the rest of America, getting people up and dancing to that catchy beat, compared to the dark, divisive speech of Kamala Harris and her dystopian vision of the future which people found to be a real downer compared to the politics of hope and joy of Trump and I think that difference between the messaging of the two campaigns, hope and joy for Trump versus hatred and vitriol from Harris (cue, Youtube, Harris says Trump “must never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXlKh140wdg ) made all the difference in the world in terms of the final outcome, where Trump’s campaign of hope and joy won out big time over Kamala Harris’s message of divisiveness and hate, and frankly, I’m surprised we didn’t see Kamala repeating the famous “shoe-banging” incident of former Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, who in a veritable paroxysm of uncontained rage, forcefully banged his shoe on a desk at the United Nations, taking off her shoe and whacking the bejaysus out of the podium with it as she delivered her diatribe against Trump in that hate-filled video, which video made it clear what we would be facing with her in the white house for the next four years.
Trump was joyful, which made people feel good about themselves, while Harris was shrill, which was a real turn-off.
So can we be surprised that the dark, hate-filled message of Kamala Harris lost big time?
I don’t think so, myself.
People looked at Kamala and her intimate connections to Joe Biden and en mass, the American people said we are turning the page and not going back, meaning repeating four more years of Joe Biden in the person of Kamala Harris!
Instead, the sane and rational and lucid people of America said we are looking for a new way forward, one that did not include Kamala Harris, the misogynistic thug Doug Emhoff, the dip**** Timmy Walz, his weird wife Gwen, Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat party in power.
Will the Democrats learn anything from this?
Frankly, they are unteachable, so I seriously doubt it!
And before we go to a New York Focus article titled “How Low Voter Turnout Helped Trump Gain Ground in New York – Trump picked up some votes in New York this year. But Democrats lost far more” by Colin Kinniburgh on November 9, 2024, let’s drop back in time to an Albany, New York Times Union article titled “Hochul praises VP Harris: ‘New York is Kamala Harris country’ – Gov. Kathy Hochul, long one of Joe Biden’s most ardent supporters, pledged to throw New York’s considerable political clout behind Vice President Kamala Harris” by Raga Justin, Capitol Bureau, on July 22, 2024, where we have Democrat New York state governo0r Kathy Hochul, who children think bears a remarkable likeness to the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz (cue, Youtube, I’m Melting! – The Wizard of Oz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aopdD9Cu-So ) throwing away her credibility, such little as she has ever had, which was never much, and her political capital backing a LOSER named Kamala Harris, to wit:
ALBANY — Gov. Kathy Hochul committed Monday to rally around Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now poised to be the Democratic front-runner after President Joe Biden announced he would not seek a second term.
Hochul told reporters Monday that the vice president attempted to call her on Sunday after the news broke, but that scheduling conflicts and bad phone service left her unable to speak to Harris.
“I know a little bit about being number two,” Hochul said following a scheduled housing announcement in Manhattan Monday.
“You’re the most qualified to understand what is involved in the role you are expected to step into (if) circumstances arise.”
“… I’ve worked with her.”
“I’ve seen her in New York.”
“She has been a partner of mine as well.”
Hochul, long one of Biden’s most ardent supporters, had until recently indicated she would continue to support his candidacy despite shrinking favorability within the Democratic Party.
But she softened that endorsement last week during a live interview with the Times Union, indicating she would support whoever became the nominee amid weeks of intensifying calls among Democrats for Biden to exit the race.
She said Monday that she had not yet spoken with Biden since he announced his departure from the presidential race in a letter released Sunday afternoon and without addressing the public in an interview or news conference.
Hochul said she did not regret standing with Biden as long as she did and applauded him for federal investments in economic development and infrastructure in New York during what will be his only term as president.
It remains unclear which New York Democrats, including some facing tough races this year, will fall in line behind Harris.
As of Monday, endorsements from Democratic candidates in the state’s swing districts were still trickling in.
U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand announced her support of Harris on Monday but Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer has not.
Hochul avoided directly mentioning Democratic holdouts by name.
Until Monday afternoon, they included U.S. Sen. Pat Ryan, a Hudson Valley Democrat who faces an intense reelection campaign in a battleground district and has not yet endorsed Harris.
He announced Monday afternoon that he is backing Harris, drawing comparisons between her and Republican candidate Donald J. Trump.
“The choice is clear, and the contrast is stark,” Ryan said in a statement posted on X.
“Vice President Harris fights for freedom.”
“Trump wants to take it away.”
A number of other Democratic candidates running in tight congressional races in Long Island and the Hudson Valley had stayed silent late Sunday and into Monday morning, although though as the afternoon wore on several began to post similar statements endorsing Harris, including former CNN journalist John Avlon, a Democrat who is campaigning against incumbent U.S. Rep. Nick LaLota, a Republican, in the First Congressional District in Suffolk County.
Hochul said she could not speak to the timing of those endorsements, but said she is “very confident” New York Democrats would present a united front for Harris.
“New York will be strongly Kamala Harris country,” Hochul said.
end quotes
And as we shall shortly see, the governor was talking through her hat or out her *** with that foolish statement about statement New York will be strongly Kamala Harris country, which brings us back to the COVER-UP and WHITEWASH of Joe Biden’s withering mental condition (cue, Youtube, Lefties losing it: Sky News host roasts ‘leftie’ Jill Biden after Trump rant @ 2.11, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsadVGIMx2w ), as follows:
During a news conference on Monday, U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko, an Amsterdam Democrat, avoided answering whether Harris should be held at least partially responsible for her role as vice president in concealing from the public any concerns around Biden’s mental fitness.
Instead, Tonko deflected and talked about the rigors of running a campaign and the White House simultaneously as factors behind Biden’s decision to step down.
“I think the rigors of the campaign and being the most forceful messenger along that campaign trail is what drove his decision,” Tonko said.
“(Harris) working with him routinely, I’m certain got a flavor of what I sensed when I was in the company of the president.”
end quotes
Yes, people, we’re all GOOD DEMOCRATS here, so let’s not say anything bad about each other, even when they have been lying to us about the mental fitness of Joe Biden instead of doing their duty to the NATION pursuant to Section 4 of the 25th Amendment of the United States Constitution, which states in clear and unambiguous language a top-notch full grown ACE lawyer like Kamala Harris with her JD should have been able to comprehend and understand that when the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office, the vice president, in this case Kamala Harris, has a duty to the American people, along with a majority of cabinet secretaries to declare the president unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office.
BUT SHE DIDN’T
SHE COVERED JOE’S MENTAL DECLINE UP, INSTEAD, LIKE A GOOD AND LOYAL DEMOCRAT SHOULD DO!
And GOOD DEMOCRAT Tonko was too gutless and caitiff to call her out on it, lest he be accused of DISSLOYALTY to the Democrat party, which would have him in big trouble deep, which brings us to another Albany, New York Times Union article titled “N.Y. Democrats coalesce around Harris after Biden break – By Tuesday, Democrats in New York had unified behind Harris as their nominee” by Dan Clark, Capitol Bureau, on July 23, 2024, where we have DEMOCRAT WISHFUL THINKING as follows, to wit:
ALBANY — It took less than 48 hours for the cracks that had begun to widen between Democrats in New York about this year’s elections to be sealed after President Joseph R. Biden dropped his reelection bid Sunday.
By Tuesday, the same Democrats who had loudly disagreed over having Biden as the party’s nominee days earlier had coalesced around their new one: Vice President Kamala Harris.
The 307 delegates from New York chosen to attend the Democratic National Convention next month in Chicago jumped on a well-attended virtual call Monday night to make that decision alongside Gov. Kathy Hochul, the state party’s de facto head.
The message was clear, Hochul said.
The delegates from New York — the second-largest delegation behind California — will go to Harris.
“I’m so proud of New York’s delegation for joining me to support Vice President Harris,” Hochul said.
Democrats running for Congress who hadn’t yet pledged their support for Harris soon fell in line.
Rep. Tom Suozzi, who hadn’t yet endorsed Harris, said he would back her as the nominee around 10 p.m. Monday.
“The response to Kamala Harris’ historic candidacy has been overwhelming and I add my name to the chorus of endorsements,” Suozzi said.
The other Democrat from New York who had reserved his opinion was House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries from Brooklyn.
His endorsement — along with that of Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, also a Democrat from Brooklyn — was expected, but not promised.
Then the pair of high-ranking Democratic congressional leaders announced a rare joint news conference Tuesday afternoon and emerged in full support of Harris as their nominee.
They wanted to wait to see how delegates from New York and other states reacted to Harris, Schumer said.
She secured more than half the number required for the party’s nomination Tuesday.
“Now that the process has played out, from the grassroots bottom up, we are here today to throw our support behind Vice President Kamala Harris,” Schumer said.
Harris spoke with Schumer Sunday, he said, and told him she wanted to convince Democrats in New York and across the country to support her nomination rather than demand it from the top levels of the party.
“We deeply respected that,” Schumer said.
But while Harris didn’t direct the delegates personally, she instead deployed powerful surrogates like Hochul and Schumer to drum up support for her at the state level.
That wasn’t hard, Schumer said.
“The enthusiasm in this big, diverse party was amazing.”
“It was palpable,” he said.
“You could cut it with a knife!”
They view Harris as their best shot heading into November not only to win the White House, but to build their numbers in Congress.
Democrats have a razor thin majority in the U.S. Senate and are in the minority in the House.
If Democrats flip enough seats in the House to win the majority, that would earn Jeffries a new title: House speaker.
“We’re going to hold the Senate, we’re going to win the house, we’re going to elect Kamala Harris as our next president in November,” Jeffries said.
The pair had reportedly asked Biden personally to consider ending his campaign for president but when asked if that was true, Schumer declined to answer.
“He put his country first and made the right decision,” Schumer said.

And what a bunch of pure BULL**** that prediction by Hakeem turned out to be, which takes us to the New York Focus article titled “How Low Voter Turnout Helped Trump Gain Ground in New York – Trump picked up some votes in New York this year. But Democrats lost far more” by Colin Kinniburgh on November 9, 2024, where we had as follows concerning the results of the presidential election in New York, to wit:
On the surface, it looks like a clear enough story.
New York mirrored a national lurch to the right that is sending Donald Trump back to the White House with a decisive margin.
In the famously blue state, Trump performed better than any Republican at the top of the ticket since 1988.
end quotes
HUH?
Going back to the results, they continue, as follows:
In New York City, he claimed 30 percent of the vote — nearly double his share in 2016.
end quote
Which makes me laugh tight out loud, given the efforts of New York City to LAWFARE Trump out of existence, which again takes us back to more, to wit:
Nationally, Trump did surge — not just in his share of the vote but likely in the total number of votes cast for him, with millions left to be counted in California and other states.
Total turnout across the country could come close to the record set in 2020, according to a Washington Post analysis.
In New York, though, turnout took a clear drop this year.
Statewide turnout hovers just under 58 percent this year, down from over 61 percent in 2020.
That could translate to at least half a million fewer votes and puts New York in the bottom 10 states for voter turnout nationally.
Democrats at the top of the ticket paid the price.
end quotes
And good for them, say I, because they brought that opprobrium down on themselves and they fully deserve it, which again takes us back for more, to wit:
With most of the vote accounted for, Kamala Harris received some 900,000 fewer votes in New York than Joe Biden did in 2020.
Trump, meanwhile, improved on his 2020 tally by roughly 200,000 votes.
The lack of voter interest was especially pronounced in New York City, where turnout looks set to fall below even 2016 levels.
“In a way, New York got redder because it got less blue,” said Steven Romalewski, director of the CUNY Mapping Service and co-creator of the NYC Election Atlas.
He pointed to Staten Island, where Trump gained only about 1,000 votes since 2020 — but Harris lost some 25,000 compared to Biden that year.
Anger with the Biden administration over the war on Gaza also cost Harris votes, Gripper added.
One indicator?
Over 50,000 voters left the presidential field on their ballots blank — slightly more than voted blank during the “Leave It Blank” campaign in the Democratic primary.
Gripper said the disaffection with Democrats that led many New Yorkers to either stay home or vote Trump on Tuesday owed in part to the party’s failure to address the cost of living crisis that many in the state are feeling.
“If Democrats don’t demonstrate how they’re going to work together in a cohesive way, where they

BOTTOM LINE: Kamala Harris, who was a worse choice for president than HILLARY Clinton, lost BIG TIME because she was a lousy candidate from DAY ONE, having absolutely no presidential qualities whatsoever.
And now, it’s time to take a break for station identification, but don’t change that dial, because we will soon be back.
China-Joe and Kamal-Toe are also intentionally depleting our munitions stock after depleting our strategic petroleum reserves and allowing terrorists to flood into our country. The Biden regime are intentionally compromising the safety and security of US and should all be imprisoned for doing so.
As the nation learned after the first presidential debate between then-Democrat contender John Fitzgerald Kennedy, perhaps the last American president I had any respect for, and Richard Millhouse “I’M NOT A CROOK” Nixon on September 26, 1960, in Chicago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYP8-oxq8ig , that being the first-ever televised debate between presidential candidates in this country in our history, visual images not only matter, they matter greatly!
Consider, for example, the 1988 presidential campaign of Michael Dukakis, who to make himself look manly and in command, had himself filmed riding around in the turret of a tank, which political stunt ended up humiliating him and ending his chances at the presidency, because he ended up looking all the world like Rocky the Flying Squirrel with his helmet on riding on that tank, and never got over that comparison:
Dukakis and the Tank: The Making of a Political Disaster
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBlEOvIBTEs
As that video of the first Kennedy/Nixon debate starts, the visual image of how calmly JFK was sitting there, obviously a man very much in command of himself, unlike Kamala Harris today, versus Nixon, who looked like he was sitting there waiting to find out if he got his girlfriend pregnant, made all the difference in the minds of the American people, and Kennedy was elected American president.
Indeed, The Social Science Journal, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2017 at Pages 67-75 carried an article titled “Debunking Nixon’s radio victory in the 1960 election: Re-analyzing the historical record and considering currently unexamined polling data” by Jon Bruschke and Laura Divine, wherein was stated as follows concerning that moment in American history which was to change how we think about presidential politics in this country, lessons the present-day Democrats have either forgotten about, or don’t know about, to wit:
Abstract
It is widely reported that Nixon won the first of the 1960 presidential debates among radio audiences while Kennedy carried television viewers, and further that Kennedy’s victory translated to an electoral victory.
It is thus assumed that style trumped substance when politics entered the television age.
However, the Nixon radio victory emerged in only a single poll conducted by Sindlinger and Company.
Considering other polling data reveals Sindlinger’s finding is likely the result of a Republican bias in the sample and not a mass defection of Democrats swayed by Nixon’s substantive arguments.
Voters found Kennedy ahead on substance as well as style.
Introduction
The presidential debates in 1960 marked a watershed moment in American history.
Television had become the defining development in American culture and the number of households with a television rose from 11% in 1950 to 88% by 1960 (White, 1961).
Over 100 million viewers watched at least part of one of the four debates (Mickelson, 1972).
For the first time ever two candidates for the world’s highest office had a national television audience judging their performances.
The first of the four contests has received the most attention.
There is a dominant account of what happened in that first debate and how that influenced the overall election.
First, it is believed that John F. Kennedy was more attractive than Nixon in general, and Nixon is believed to have won the debate among those who listened on the radio.
This is widely interpreted to mean that television favored style over substance (Schudson, 1995, Self, 2005, Vancil and Pendell, 1987).
Second, it is widely assumed that the first debate was by far the most important one (Ambrose, 1987, p. 575) and indeed it had the largest audience (Self, 2005).
A third conception is that the loss in the first debate translated fairly directly to a loss in the election two-and-a-half months later.
White (1961) presented the math this way: “over 4,000,000 voters…ascribed their final decision on voting to the debates alone…and 72 percent (or almost 3,000,000) voted for Kennedy.”
“If these extrapolations are true, then 2,000,000 of the Kennedy margin came from television’s impact on the American mind…since Kennedy won by only 112,000 votes” (p. 322).
But Frankel’s (1994) more succinct account more closely reflects collective memory about the event: “Nixon lost a TV debate, and the presidency, to John F. Kennedy in 1960 because of a sweaty upper lip” (p.30).

Speaking as someone with memories of those times, visually speaking, Kennedy came across as an honest man, while Nixon came across as a thug, and debate all one wishes, those images, like the image of Micheal Dukakis riding the tank, speak louder than words, because the human brain processes images 60,000 times faster than text, and 90 per cent of the information transmitted to the brain is visual.
Which brings us to today, and the highly visual “bread and circuses” campaign of Democrat Kamala Harris and running mate, the slovenly and pudgy Timmy Walz jumping around and skipping and prancing around on the stage like a real dip****, and his weird wife Gwen, and what visual images they all were!
Did HARRIS/WALZ go down to defeat because NOBODY in America wanted to be stuck with goofy Gwen Walz in their lives for four unendurable years?
For me, that alone was a good reason to vote AGAINST HARRIS/WALZ!
As to Timmy Walz, he came across visually as Elmer Fudd chasing Bugs Bunny with a shotgun while muttering “DAT DANGED WABBIT,” or Larry, Daryl and Daryl’s other brother Timmy (cue, Youtube Best of Larry, Darryl, and Darryl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YTE8QjCw2U&list=PLwgGttFTKMTF-t-MR2ZtGwUs_0HyVGgB7&index=2 )
But another good reason to vote against HARRIS/WALZ can be found in this Sky News video of HARRIS/WALZ fans and supporters burning the American flag outside the DNC (cue, Man tries to save burning American flag while being shoved by anti-Israel protesters outside DNC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbaJfOCQNlI )where Kamala Harris was inside strutting her stuff on stage like she was Tina Turner (cue, Tina Turner – Nutbush City Limits (Live from Arnhem, Netherlands) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRZIzs9pE5o ).
Who in their right minds in America would want to hand that crowd political power in America if HARRIS/WALZ had won this election?
But the plethora of negative graphic visual images related directly to HARRIS/WALZ at the Democrat National Convention did not stop there, as we see ANTI-POLICE/ANTI-LAW AND ORDER HARRIS/WALZ supporters confronting police outside the DNC here (cue Youtube Police clash with protesters who breached DNC security perimeter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyH-4Uojh6g ) and here (cue Youtube Confrontation breaks out between protesters and police at the DNC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWQ1I2x1AxY ) and here (cue Youtube WATCH: Protestors again clash with police outside the DNC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7njuAWBdLY ).
So, in the end, the sane, rational and lucid people of America said quite firmly, we’re not going back to four more years of BIDEN/HARRIS!
We’re turning the page on BIDEN/HARRIS.
We’re seeking a New Way Forward that does not involve Kamala Harris, the misogynistic thug Doug Emhoff, a beater of women, the slovenly Timmy Walz, his weird wife Gwen, Barack Hussein Obama, Michelle Obama and the Democrat party.
And that, folks, is the news!
And say what you will about Trump supporters, people, unlike the Democrats, they DO NOT burn American flags!
If I ever run across someone burning an American flag, I would take an assault charge with honor and pride.
Assaulting someone on the street might result in you having your a** kicked, or perhaps even being shot and facing assault charges.
Especially when dealing with violent, thuggish ANTI-LAW AND ORDER Democrats such as are seen in this video outside the Democrat National Convention of HARRIS/WALZ fans and supporters burning the American flag (cue, Man tries to save burning American flag while being shoved by anti-Israel protesters outside DNC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbaJfOCQNlI ) while Kamala Harris was inside strutting her stuff on stage like she was Tina Turner (cue, Tina Turner – Nutbush City Limits (Live from Arnhem, Netherlands) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRZIzs9pE5o ) and the slovenly and pudgy Timmy Walz, who in his mind carried a weapon of war in a real shooting war where the **** was coming in on Timmy’s position hot and heavy and fast and furious as a human wave attack of Viet Cong and some North Koreans tried to overrun his artillery position in Iraq, where Timmy killed 30 Taliban with one cannon ball, while trying desperately to single-handedly save Joe Biden’s favorite Uncle Bozey from getting eaten by cannibals, jumping around and skipping and prancing around on the stage like a real dip****.
Those masked HARRIS/WALZ supporters in that video burning the to them hated American flag are who we would have handed political power to in the country had HARRS/WALZ managed to win the election – Kamala’s Sturmabteilung.
What a bullet we as a nation just dodged with the sound defeat of HARRIS/WALZ in the polls!
That type of mindset is the reason people are burning American flags in the street. I am not afraid of an a$$ kicking or being shot.
As to the charges, as I said…’ I would take an assault charge with honor and pride.’
Beta?
Facing assault charges is not the same as being convicted of assault charges, especially in a highly-charged political environment such as exists in America today.
I was myself facing assault charges some time back for assaulting the vehicle of a politically-connected hit-and-run driver with my body, causing damage to the hit-and-run driver’s vehicle when he assaulted me with it.
I represented myself in court before a jury and was acquitted/
As to Mr. Bell, were I the judge in that matter, I would take a hard look at the “victim,” noting the various bruises, black eyes, split lip, contusions, a broken bone here and there thrown into the mix, and I would ask Mr. Bell to explain to the Court how the “victim” came to be in such a miserable condition, and after Mr. Bell went through the circumstances, about the “victim” engaging in protected political speech by burning the American flag, and how the various injuries then came to be inflicted, I would draw the inescapable conclusion that when Mr. Bell, a veteran, beat the living crap out of the flag-burner, that Mr. Bell was himself engaged in protected political speech, so that the only course for the Court was acquittal because Mr. Bell’s protected political speech in beating the snot out of the flag-burner, so long as committed within the territorial boundaries of the United States was protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, so that convicting Mr. Bell of assault, when in fact he was engaged in “speech,” would work an injustice on Mr. Bell.
As to the dude who was the flag burner, I would similarly conclude that whatever injuries he received from Mr. Bell engaging in some protected political speech on him, were a direct result of the “victim” engaging in protected political speech in order to provoke the confrontation the “victim” was the loser in, and the lesson to the victim would be that when you provoke confrontation in America by burning the flag in front of veterans who have stood up for the flag, don’t get all upset when they in turn exercise their Constitutional right to free speech by beating the tar out of you, and then I would have the victim charged with making false charges against Mr. Bell and justice, American-style, would have been done.
Law and Order…
Right.
Pretty much what YoungThug said in his recent felony trial.
It seems that there are self proclaimed tough guys everywhere you go these days.
There are, indeed, self proclaimed tough guys everywhere you go these days, which is why you don’t find me “out there,” and by the way, as a Viet Nam combat veteran, I am very much for law and order, because in Viet Nam, I got a first had look at what the absence of it looks like in real life, and I don’t choose to have that come here, with these flag-burning HEZBOLLAH/HAMAS TERRORISTS for HARRIS/WALZ demonstrating outside the DNC while Kamala Harris was inside strutting her stuff on stage like she was Tina Turner (cue, Tina Turner – Nutbush City Limits (Live from Arnhem, Netherlands) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRZIzs9pE5o ) and the slovenly and pudgy Timmy Walz, who in his mind carried a weapon of war in a real shooting war where the **** was coming in on Timmy’s position hot and heavy and fast and furious as a human wave attack of Viet Cong and some North Koreans tried to overrun his artillery position in Iraq, where Timmy killed 30 Taliban with one cannon ball, while trying desperately to single-handedly save Joe Biden’s favorite Uncle Bozey from getting eaten by cannibals, was jumping around and skipping and prancing around on the stage like a real dip****, gaining political power in this country over us, as they would have done had HARRIS/WALZ prevailed, so they could then with impunity on the streets of America come here across our border to burn our flag, and assault American citizens with impunity as we clearly see from 00:05-00:08 in this video outside the Democrat National Convention of HARRIS/WALZ, where you see a man non-violently trying to save a burning American flag, at which time you can clearly see him be assaulted by a violent, masked HEZBOLLAH/HAMAS TERRORIST who epitomizes your self proclaimed tough guy.
I am not myself a self proclaimed tough guy, like say, Hunter Biden, or Doug Emhoff, himself a MACHO MAN who slaps women around to show them who is boss and to keep them properly submissive and in line, as is their proper place in his world view, so I make it a point to stay far away from where the self proclaimed tough guys are, and with extra good reason in the case of these HEZBOLLAH/HAMAS TERRORISTS for HARRIS/WALZ, who are said to have BO so bad it would knock down a horse, or even worse in some cases, to where it is GAPO (gorilla arm pit odor).
As to justice for Mr. Bell in this hypothetical case of Mr. Bell assaulting the flag burner, he of course in our system of justice be considered innocent until proven guilty, and he would be entitled to a trial where he could confront his accuser, and he would have the right to any and all defenses available to him, including that he was engaging in the same protected political speech the flag burner was engaging in, none of which has anything whatsoever to do with being a self proclaimed tough guy like the flag burner, because who else would do that but a self proclaimed tough guy, and if acquitted, true American justice, not HEZBOLLAH/HAMAS TERRORIST “justice,” would have been done, and who in America who was not a Democrat or a HEZBOLLAH/HAMAS TERRORIST for HARRIS/WALZ or a SCHOOL SHOOTER Timmy Walz was friends with, another kind of self proclaimed tough guy in America, because who other than a self proclaimed tough guy would be a SCHOOL SHOOTER, could have any kind of problems with that?
I am Free, White, and Over 21…I tend to do as I damn well please. I do not think the word ‘tough’ was used in and part of our discussion.
Bless your heart.
According to an article in the Washington Examiner titled “Democrats turn on each other in battle for soul of the party” by Max Thornberry on 24 November 2024, the hapless, weird, out-of-touch-with-reality Democrats are nearly three weeks removed from their first popular vote defeat in a presidential contest in two decades and are riven about how to avoid a similar defeat in four years.
According to the article, Sen.-elect Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) didn’t mince her words when she said her party needs to rethink not just its messaging but where its identity lies.
“It’s not just what you’re saying but from what place you are talking about those issues,” Slotkin said.
“I think No. 2 is, personally, I think that identity politics needs to go the way of the dodo.”
“People need to be looked at as independent Americans, whatever group they’re from.”
Those words were an eerie reflection of a warning Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) gave Democrats four years ago when they won the White House but failed to make huge gains in other contests after spending months touting the benefits of defunding the police and socialism.
And then we come to the WOKE WEIRDNESS that epitomizes the Democrat party today, as follows:
Democrats largely abandoned their “defund the police” messaging this time around.
But Republicans dashed to remind voters about another 2020-era position most Democrats hadn’t abandoned — the issue of transgender female athletes competing against biological women in sports and a broader embrace of forcing a unanimous view on the contentious topic.
One of Trump’s most successful campaign ads revolved around Harris’s 2019 positions saying she would approve of taxpayer-funded transition surgeries for illegal immigrants who were in prison.
His message that Harris was for “they/them” and Trump was for “you” hit home to the tune of pushing the race 2.7 percentage points in his favor.
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) tried to verbalize his problem with his party’s position and might wind up getting driven out of the House for it.
“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” Moulton said days after the election concluded.
“I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.”
The backlash was swift as Democrats lined up to separate themselves from Moulton’s comments and cling closer to the policy he was trying to move away from.
Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman Steve Kerrigan said Moulton’s words “do not represent the broad view of our party,” and a school system in Moulton’s district rejected his message “in the strongest possible terms.”
Moulton’s own campaign manager, Kyle Davis, quit working for the congressman and demanded he resign his seat immediately.

And people in the candid world wonder why the Democrats are a pack of losers?
Go figure!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
It is now 25 days since the massive and well-deserved trouncing of the hapless, out-of-touch-with-reality, ill-fated and poorly run HARRIS/WALZ campaign, and we are as divided as a nation and as a people as we were in 1775, and again in 1861, and after that, the latter-1960’s.
In 1775, we were split into two factions – those who were for the King in England, and those who were for liberty and self-rule, and there followed just over seven (7) years of bloody warfare with members of families divided and fighting each other to the death, which conflict killed off one percent of the population back then, with between 25,000 and 70,000 American Patriots dying during active military service, with approximately 6,800 being killed in battle, while at least 17,000 died from disease, the majority of whom died while prisoners of war of the British, mostly in the prison ships in New York Harbor.
The American Revolution, a Civil War in actuality, as it was American against American as much as British troops against Americans, especially in the bloody Mohawk Valley of New York state, was second only to the Civil War in terms of losses to the population.
Then we had the Civil War, which was Americans against Democrats, with some 500,000 who died on the Union and Democrat sides.
And we were just getting back together as a people, when Viet Nam in the 1960’s tore us back apart again.
And now, here we are, being torn apart by the very people who told us they were “uniters,” not dividers, as we saw in the Acceptance speech of coronated Democrat candidate Kamala Harris on August 22, 2024, to wit:
I know there are people of various political views watching tonight.
And I want you to know: I promise to be a President for all Americans.
You can always trust me to put country above party and self.
To hold sacred America’s fundamental principles.

And what a load of totally transparent BULL**** that all was, which is why HARRIS/WALZ spun, crashed and burned, as they did and should have, because those two clowns, Kamala Harris, who couldn’t stop her very annoying cackling that had her sounding like a hyena (cue Youtube, Kamala Harris Cackling – 2 Minute Compilation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbWDpHhNZbc ), and “cuddly” Timmy Walz (cue Youtube, Media Fawn Over Kamala’s ‘Cuddly’ VP Pick Tim Walz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaCN_6DKFNc ), were the most un-presidential candidates we have had dished up to us from the bottom of the political barrel in the entire history of this nation!
The absolute worst!
And while it is said that politics makes for strange bedfellows, never in my life have I seen such an array of strangeness as was the case with HARRIS/WALZ, who did not have supporters so much as they had a menagerie (a strange or diverse collection of people) as their followers, and some very angry and strange creatures they were, as we see in this Youtube video of a dude who actually thinks or believes he is a woman going off big time on the employees of a Popeye’s because somebody dared to call the dude, who is obviously a dude, regardless of what he might think about it, “sir”:
Trans Person Freaks Out At Popeyes After Hearing Employee Say ‘Sir’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_16sj0JN3VI
Which takes us back to the full transcript from President Joe Biden’s address to a joint session of Congress on 28 April 2021, where we have Joe Biden, this being the very same Joe Biden featured in this video of Joe standing next to the dude who runs India, yelling out like an imbecile about who he was to introduce next, which was the same Indian dude standing next to him (cue, Youtube, “Who’s Next?” | The Moment Where Joe Biden Forgot To Introduce PM Narendra Modi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrrT3H0niBk ) calling that dude who freaked out in Popeye’s “brave,” to wit:
To all the transgender Americans watching at home – especially the young people who are so brave – I want you to know that your president has your back.
end quotes
Which is why that dude was able to go into that Popeye’s and act like a real dangerous A-HOLE, because BDEN/HARRIS had his back, which in turn made the employees of Popeyes, and by extension, the American people, the political adversaries and enemies of BIDEN/HARRIS and subsequently, HARRIS/WALZ which brings us to a Washington Examiner story titled “Democrats turn on each other in battle for soul of the party” by Max Thornberry on 24 November 2024, where we have the TRUE BIDEN/HARRIS and HARRIS/WALZ Democrat party self-revealed, as follows:
Democrats largely abandoned their “defund the police” messaging this time around.

Think about that, people, and think about it hard: Moulton’s words that he has two little girls and he doesn’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, do not represent the broad view of the BIDEN/HARRIS and HARRIS/WALZ Democrat party,
Talk about being ANTI-WOMEN, people, that is incredible – in its own words, the Democrat party of BIDEN/HARRIS is FOR the two little girls of Seth Moulton getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, which makes the two little girls of Seth Moulton second-class citizens in America, and because Seth Moulton sought to speak for his two little girls, as we see in the Washington Examiner story titled “Democrats prepare to oust Seth Moulton for speaking out about transgender athletes” by Annabella Rosciglione on 27 November 2024, Seth Moulton is in big trouble deep with the Democrat party of BIDEN/HARRIS and HARRIS/WALZ, to wit:
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) could be in the hot seat within his party for comments he made on Democratic views of the LGBT community, which could result in a primary challenge.
Moulton received pushback from local Democratic leaders and LGBTQ advocates nationally and in Massachusetts for comments he made about transgender youth in sports after Democrats’ losses in the 2024 election.
Following Democrats’ losses earlier this month, Moulton suggested that the Democratic Party’s acceptance of biological males playing in girls’ sports could be traced to the party’s losses.
Moulton said Democrats had spent “too much time trying not to offend anyone.”
“I have two little girls.”
“I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete,” he said.
“But as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.”
Since the comments, which resulted in his campaign manager resigning and many Massachusetts and national Democrats condemning him, Moulton has defended his remarks.
He argued that he is providing a voice to a popular but rarely expressed view among Democratic lawmakers.
“I’ve never had more people, parents and, by the way, a lot of LGBTQ community members, reach out to me and say, ‘Thank you for saying this,’” Moulton told the New York Times.
“Some of them are just speaking authentically as parents.”
“Some of them believe the trans movement has gone too far.”
“It is imperiling the progress we’ve made.”
Because of this, some strategists also believe that other Democrats could seize on these comments and run a race against Moulton.

Call me conservative and call me old-fashioned, but that is some pretty weird and sick **** there.
NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP!
I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP!
AND PLEASE, PLEASE, PROTECT THOSE TWO LITTLE GIRLS FROM BEING RUN DOWN AND BULLIED ON THE PLAYING FIELD BY THE “MEN” OF BIDEN/HARRIS WHO DEMAND WE RECOGNIZE THEM AS WOMEN WHEN THEY ARE DUDES, AND IF WE DON’T, THEY WILL GET ALL VIOLENT WITH US, BECAUSE BIDEN/HARRIS THINKS THEY ARE BRAVE AND HAS THEIR BACK!
I am an American citizen who was born here, and who has served OUR country in war, not the warped and twisted and weird country of BIDEN/HARRIS where men who claim to be women are proclaimed to be “brave” (ready to face and endure danger or pain; showing courage; lionhearted; manful; stouthearted; gallant; ballsy; endure or face unpleasant conditions without showing fear) by Democrat Joe Biden, this being the same lost-in-space “Rambling Joe” Biden who was cut off by his Propaganda Minister Karine “BINDER” Jean Pierre while giving a rambling disjointed speech in Viet Nam, where he referred to Viet Nam being a “third world country (cue Youtube, Rambling Joe Biden Abruptly Cut Off During Speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg25440ledA ), and accordingly I have and possess the indubitable (in a way that is patently evident or certain; unquestionably; without doubt) right to have and hold my own opinions about matters of public importance, like weird men going around today in this time of BIDEN/HARRIS claiming they are really women (cue Youtube Trans woman claims biological men can make milk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZll9tJ9OTM ) while being called “brave” (cue Youtube Biden tells transgender Americans ‘Your president has your back’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly6-kl5Tygw ) by the senile and weird Joe Biden, who himself sniffs and chews on babies (cue Youtube, Joe Biden ‘bites’ baby at White House Halloween party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA550BAoNlo ) even if my opinions do not happen to be in synch with those of Joe Biden.
Nor do I have to embrace the weird WOKE BULL**** being spewed by Joe’s assistant president Kamala Harris (cue Youtube Kamala Harris Faces Backlash as Old Clip Promoting ‘Wokeness’ Resurfaces https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53A6wcgbxEM ), and in fact, I have the right to reject this “WOKENESS” BULL**** that is being peddled here in America by Kamala Harris, who just went down in a resounding spectacular defeat to a man who is a convicted felon, which is a clear sign of just how unpopular the “WOKE” Kamala Harris really was to MAIN-STREAM AMERICANS like myself who are sick and tired of having this “WOKE” BULL**** jammed down our throats, as if there was something wrong with us if we are not more WOKE than cackling Kamala Harris.
And that takes us to an article (cue Youtube Sharon Stone Calls Out ‘Uneducated’ Americans After Trump Election Win https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpqM_Tkp0lI ) in the Independent titled “Sharon Stone condemns ‘ignorant, arrogant’ Americans for Trump win” by Inga Parkel on 28 November 2024, where we have as follows from the same Sharon Stone (cue Youtube Sharon Stone Breaks Silence on Producer’s Alleged Demand for Sexual Favors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhBRJqzOL5U ) telling us just how very hard life can be for a Hollywood film star far removed from the reality we commoners in this country like myself inhabit, and before we get there, for all of those who haven’t a clue as to Sharon Stone really is, which is likely most of us, Sharon Vonne Stone (born March 10, 1958) is an American actress known for primarily playing femmes fatales and women of mystery on film and television, and she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1990s, which in turn has made her an expert today on American presidential politics and why Kamala Harris is such a BIG TIME loser.
Our Sharon, bless her Hollywood heart, is the recipient of various accolades, including a Primetime Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a nomination for an Academy Award and she was named Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters in France in 2005 (Commander in 2021).[1]
After modeling in television commercials and print advertisements, Sharon made her film debut as an extra in Stardust Memories (1980) and played her first speaking part in the horror film Deadly Blessing (1981), and in the 1980s, she appeared in such films as Irreconcilable Differences (1984), King Solomon’s Mines (1985), and Above the Law (1988), and she had a breakthrough with her part in Paul Verhoeven’s science fiction film Total Recall (1990), before rising to international recognition when she portrayed Catherine Tramell in Verhoeven’s erotic thriller Basic Instinct (1992), for which she earned her first Golden Globe Award nomination.
The her performance as a trophy wife in Martin Scorsese’s crime drama Casino (1995) earned her a Golden Globe Award along with a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress, and her other notable films include Sliver (1993), The Specialist (1994), The Quick and the Dead (1995), Catwoman (2004), Broken Flowers (2005), Alpha Dog (2006), Bobby (2006), Fading Gigolo (2013), The Disaster Artist (2017), Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese (2019), and The Laundromat (2019).
So that, people, is who we have calling us “ignorant and arrogant” Americans, which takes us back thye the Independent, to wit:
Sharon Stone has hit out at “ignorant” American voters who supported President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

To which I would respond that she has that wrong – that it was the truly ignorant people in America who threw away their votes and campaign contribution money backing a clear loser like Kamala Harris and her running mate, the cuddly knucklehead Timmy Walz, and with that clarified, let’s go back to her LA-LA LAND (a euphoric, dreamlike mental state detached from the harsher realities of life) take on this presidential election just past, to wit:
The Basic Instinct star, 66, made the remarks on Monday (November 25) at a panel discussion at Italy’s Torino Film Festival, where she was honored with a lifetime achievement award.
During the event, Stone was asked about the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, which happened to fall on the same day as her award.

Going back to Sharon, with her net worth in 2024 estimated at $40 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, which makes her just another one of us common folks here in America (I wonder how much she pays in taxes, and if she pays her fair share) we have more of her rant as follows:
“We have to stop and think about who we choose for government,” she responded.
“My country is in its adolescence,” Stone added.
end quotes
HUH?
Adolescence (the transitional phase of growth and development between childhood and adulthood)?
I’ll tell you what, Sharon it’s not the country that is in its adolescence – it is people like yourself out in Hollywood who are the ones in your adolescence – still out there playing at make-believe with your lives dictated not by reality, but by a film script written by some writers of make-believe out there, which takes us back for more, to wit:
“Adolescence is very arrogant; adolescence thinks it knows everything; adolescence is naive and ignorant and arrogant, and we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence.”
end quotes
WORD SALAD ALERT, people!
Going back to the Independent, the ignorant rant continues as follows:
“We have not seen this before in our country.”
end quotes
BULL****, Sharon we have seen this and worse and here we still are, which again takes us back to the story, to wit:
She further explained: “Americans who don’t travel, who 80 percent don’t have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naivety.”
“What I can say is that the only way that we can help with these issues is to help each other.”
“I’m all in for Kamala Harris,” Stone said in August.
end quotes
And good for you, Sharon, which makes you another one of those ignorant yet very arrogant Hollywood movie stars and A-listers who were just made fools out of by Kamala Harris getting whipped in the polls by a convicted felon, and that folks, is the news!
And proving to the nation and the world, as if there was any doubt, that if you are a Biden, you’re above the law with impunity, because the “BIG GUY,” Joe Biden, the PATRIARCH of the family syndicate, has your back, Joe Biden pardoned his criminal son Hunter because it was the right thing for Joe to do for the good of the Biden family, the members of which are exempt from our laws and immune to punishment by those laws, cementing Joe’s legacy not only as a one-term loser, but as a real slimeball, one-term loser, which is how he will be remembered by posterity.
Last month I suggested that Biden would now have to pardon Hunter himself since the pardon deal with Kamala Harris fell through.
Now he’s going to pardon Puff Daddy to provide diversity to the ticket.
What an interesting world we inhabit.
Amen to that, Mr. Earp!
And your call was dead on the money!
So, getting back to the aftermath of the spectacular BILLION + dollar fiasco that was billed as the campaign of the ill-fated HARRIS/WALZ duo (GET THE HOOK!), we come back to the question, after having had the pathetic laughing hyena Kamala Harris jammed in our faces these last four months or so, and thank the heavens she is on her way to political obscurity as the loser she is, of whether Kamala was ever anything more than just a pretty face and RUBBER-STAMP in the Biden Administration as we saw in a Washington Examiner article titled “The Kamala Harris cringe continues” by Eddie Scarry on 3 June 2021, as follows:
Vice President Kamala Harris had one job: Be the woman of color Joe Biden needed at his side to win the presidency.
That job was completed in November, and now, it’s clear that Harris doesn’t know what to do with herself.
end quotes
And to get that answer, the best source I can think of is the mouth of Joe Biden himself (cue Youtube, Joe Biden completely forgets what he’s talking about in excruciating press conference March 25, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdfvIvYPPRo ) where we hear Joe referring to Kamala as the vice president as follows:
“I’m a fairly practical guy.”
“I want to get things done.”
“I want to get them done consistent with what we promised the American people, and in order to do that in a fifty-fifty senate, we’ve got to get to the place where I’ve got fifty votes, so that the vice president of the United States can break the tie, or I get fifty-one without her.”
end quotes
And there we have it, people – Kamala Harris was never anything more than a MINDLESS RUBBER STAMP in the Biden administration, someone old Joe kept around so she could cast the votes in the Senate old Joe wanted cast, and that was it.
And shades of December 1860 are in the air, people, as once again in the dis-United States of America, we hear the weird and whacky and “dangerous to democracy” Democrats talking about seceding from the Union (cue, Youtube, Dem floats ‘radical’ idea of seceding from US to counter Trump admin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8Z19OsT4g8 ).
Which takes us to an article in The Hill titled “Opinion: Liberals’ reactions to 2024: Isolation, insurrection, secession” by Jonathan Turley on 1 December 2024, where we have as follows:
Democrats who campaigned on the need for “joy” and “saving democracy” are strikingly unjoyful about the results of the democratic process in 2024.
Before the election, slips like the one of President Joe Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage” were immediately denied or deflected.
But once voters had given the Republicans control of both houses of Congress, the popular vote and the White House, leading Democratic figures and celebrities have dropped all pretense of civility.
They are now being open about their contempt for voters, calling them “f—-ing morons” and “arrogant, ignorant” adolescents.
end quotes
Yes, people, that is the contempt the loser Democrats have for us LOYAL American citizens who overwhelmingly rejected their choice of HARRIS/WALZ, and that is how the COASTAL ELITES of the loser Democrat party view us – as “f—-ing morons” and “arrogant, ignorant” adolescents, which is really them looking in the mirror, given they are the “f—-ing morons” and “arrogant, ignorant” adolescents who blew over a BILLION dollars backing HARRIS/WALZ, only to have them come in a distant second in the two-horse race!
Going back to the article, it continues as follows, to wit:
Now that the public has made its choice, leading figures are condemning the majority of voters as a mix of misogynists, self-haters and fascists.
Whoopi Goldberg, 69, even joined the “4B” sex strike against men.
Others seem to be morphing into exactly what they said Trump would become as president: isolationist and insurrectionist.
Some have responded to the losses by retreating further into echo chambers protected from opposing views.
Many dumped X in favor of BlueSky, a new social media safe space for liberals who fear being triggered by opposing views.
Notably, censorship advocates such as Nina Jankowisz have fled to BlueSky.
The site is portrayed as a return to the good old days when liberals controlled all of the social media and maintained a massive censorship and blacklisting system over political discourse.
New York Times tech reporter Kevin Roose wrote a column last week that offered the familiar “I can breathe again” account: “After an hour or so of scrolling through Bluesky the other night, I felt something I haven’t felt on social media in a long time: free.”
It is the ultimate irony.
This election shocked many on the left precisely because they were writing and commenting on each other within their hardened media and political silos.
They are unlikely to improve themselves by receding further into that safe space to rave about the “f—ing morons” who make up the majority of America.

Talk about a bunch of adolescents, alright!
Going back for more, we come to the talk of secession, to wit:
Some liberals are very publicly fleeing the country.
Sharon Stone (who called American voters “uneducated”) is reportedly off to Canada.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are off to a mansion in Cotswolds in England.
Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman is also reportedly exploring a departure from the country after his millions of dollars failed to produce a victory for Kamala Harris.
Some, however, want to take part of the country with them.
New York State Sen. Liz Krueger (D-Upper East Side) has received praise for her call for New York to join Canada.
Where Alexandre Dumas believed that ‘Nothing succeeds like success,” some believe that, after losing an election, nothing succeeds quite like secession.
Krueger previously sought to block Trump from the ballot in the name of protecting democracy.
That would have barred the 45 percent of New Yorkers who voted for the president-elect, but those voters would find themselves either Canadians or refugees under her proposal.
Krueger suggested that secession simply makes sense when the majority of the country disagrees with you.
She believes New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont could form a new Canadian province.
“I got back some unofficial responses and heard this is probably sellable in Ottawa,” she said.
“And look, if we were Europe, in the length of time we’ve been a nation, for Canada, if we were European countries, our borders would have moved around 20 times by now, right?”
She explained that this is all just “thinking outside of the box.”
The box that she and other liberals find themselves in is called “democracy,” and they don’t like it.
Just for the record, the last time people thought “outside the box” and seceded, we got a war with roughly 700,000 people killed.

And with that last sentence in mind, this is a good place to take a break for station identification, but don’t touch that dial, because we will be right back with more on the meltdown of the worthless Democrat party in America.
“Brevity is the soul of wit”
Brevity, dude, is defined as concise and exact use of words in writing or speech, a rule I have been following for many, many years now, perhaps longer than you have been alive, so your comment in my case reads because Paul Plante diligently pays rapt attention to concise and exact use of words in his writing, his writing in its turn is the very soul of wit, itself, and thanks from a grateful nation for being such a good sport by bringing that reality up in here.
And before we go to a Fox News article titled “Obama, in 1st remarks since election, says ‘a line has been crossed’ if ‘one side’ makes certain moves” by Alex Nitzberg on 6 December 2024, where we had former Democrat president Hussein Obama castigating the Democrats of today for their vain attempts to cement “a permanent grip on power” through “suppressing votes,” “politicizing” the military or weaponizing the judiciary and criminal justice system to target opponents, telling them “a line has been crossed” during a speech on Thursday during the Obama Foundation’s Democracy Forum, where he further told them, “You see, it’s easy to give democracy lip service when it delivers the outcomes we want” and “It’s when we don’t get what we want that our commitment to democracy is tested,” a clear message to the hate-filled ladies on The View on MSNBC, including the venom-spitting Joy Reid, and those A-listers like Sharon Stone, who called American voters “uneducated,” who is reportedly off to Canada and good riddance to her, along with Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi who are off to a mansion in Cotswolds in England, while Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman is also reportedly exploring a departure from the country after his millions of dollars failed to produce a victory for Kamala Harris, because the alternative is not just public cynicism, but an increasing willingness” among “politicians and their followers to violate democratic norms, to do anything they can to get their way, to use the power of the state to target critics, and journalists, and political rivals, and to even resort to violence” to obtain and retain power, we need to go to a Washington Examiner article titled “Biden gambles with preemptive pardons to shield Democrats from Trump: ‘All bets are off’” by Naomi Lim, Samantha-Jo Roth, Christian Datoc and Hailey Bullis on 6 December 2024, where we were told that Democrats are skeptical about the idea of President Joe Biden preemptively pardoning critics of Donald Trump.
According to the article, Biden is discussing using his pardon power to prevent possible future prosecutions with some of his top aides with the effort led by White House chief of staff Jeffrey Zients and White House counsel Ed Siskel, according to reports.
The article continues by stating that Biden has faced pressure from Capitol Hill to shield targets of Trump from possible legal retribution before the Republican’s Jan. 20 inauguration.
However, some Democrats conveyed their concerns regarding Biden issuing blanket pardons, days after members of his own party disparaged the president for his unprecedented pardon of son Hunter in which he echoed Trump’s complaints of a politicized justice system.
Three Democratic strategists close to the Biden White House told the Washington Examiner that conversations about preemptive pardons for Trump critics, from Sen.-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA) to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, have “certainly” taken place but there was doubt that they would come to fruition.
“Even with the threat Trump poses, I’d be surprised if the president issues preemptive pardons for any of Trump’s political enemies,” one senior Democratic strategist told the Washington Examiner.
“That being said, I didn’t see the Hunter pardon coming, so I guess all bets are off.”
“Pardoning Hunter, who was set to be sentenced and already had a target painted on his back by MAGA, is one thing, but this?” questioned a second operative.
“It just doesn’t really make sense.”
After Biden pardoned his son, despite repeatedly insisting he would not, Democrats and even some Republicans think the dam has broken.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), said Thursday he suspects pardons for Fauci as well as the president’s brother, James, and even Biden himself, to shield from GOP investigations into the family’s business dealings with Hunter.
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), who was the chairman of the House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 attack, told the Washington Examiner that he “wouldn’t object to” receiving a preemptive pardon from Biden, but that he was “not sure what I would need a pardon for.”
A second Democratic operative granted anonymity to speak candidly said pardoning Washington insiders instead of those already languishing in jail would send the wrong message.
“Are you only committed to protecting your rich, powerful political insider people who have defended you or are you also going to extend pardons and clemencies to thousands of people whose names are backlogged in front of your administration and who have not gotten the look because you’ve been too busy pardoning your deadbeat son?” the source told the Washington Examiner.
“That’s what I would probably f***ing say if I was advising Joe Biden, that whole situation makes me so angry.”
The person added: “Above all, people kind of want Joe Biden just to go away right now and can probably handle their own protection themselves.”
To that end, Schiff, who earned Trump’s ire during his tenure as House Intelligence Committee chairman during the federal Russia investigation, has similarly dismissed presumptive pardons.
“I don’t think a preemptive pardon makes sense,” Schiff told NPR last month.
“I think this is frankly so implausible as not to be worthy of much consideration.”
“I would urge the president not to do that.”
“I think it would seem defensive and unnecessary.”
Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), a longtime Biden alley, is urging the president to ask soon to protect those at risk, including former Wyoming GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, who served on the Jan. 6 House committee, and special counsel Jack Smith, who prosecuted Trump in two federal cases that have since been dismissed.
“I think it will be less than an honorable thing to do to leave this office and not do what you can to protect the integrity of their decision-making, especially when they were carrying out these responsibilities as patriots to this country, doing the things that are necessary in pursuit of a more perfect union,” he added.

And here we come to the delicious irony of the whole matter because in the case of Burdick v. United States, 236 U.S. 79 (1915) ( https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/236/79/ ) the United States Supreme Court defined the pardon framework, including that a pardon carries “an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it,” stating thusly therein as follows:
This brings us to the differences between legislative immunity and a pardon.
They are substantial.
The latter carries an imputation of guilt; acceptance a confession of it.
The former has no such imputation or confession.
It is tantamount to the silence of the witness.
It is noncommittal.
It is the unobtrusive act of the law given protection against a sinister use of his testimony, not like a pardon, requiring him to confess his guilt in order to avoid a conviction of it.
It is of little service to assert or deny an analogy between amnesty and pardon.
They are of different character and have different purposes.
The one overlooks offense; the other remits punishment.
The first is usually addressed to crimes against the sovereignty of the state, to political offenses, forgiveness being deemed more expedient for the public welfare than prosecution and punishment.
The second condones infractions of the peace of the state.
end quotes
So, the fact that Joe Biden is considering granting preemptive pardons means that Joe Biden is indeed aware that crimes by Democrats have in fact been taking place during his administration, crimes which he obviously has to be aware of, given he is talking about granting pardons, a pre-condition of which is “an imputation of guilt.” and by talking about issuing these preemptive pardons to these Democrats, Joe Biden is making it incandescently clear to everyone in America that he does not mind condoning infractions of the peace of the state, so long as those infractions of the peace of the state are perpetrated by other powerful Democrats and his son, Hunter Biden!
And who can be surprised at that!
Certainly not me, anyway!
