FRANK ON FRIDAY – Election Post-Mortem

One week from the 2024 election, and the breadth and depth of the Republican victory is beginning to take shape.  Donald Trump won all the swing States and a total of 312 electoral votes.  The results have been startling to both Parties.  Trump increased his share of the vote in virtually every county in the nation.  He cut a 16 point deficit in New Jersey to 5%, and drastically cut into his 2016 and 2020 deficits in New York, California, and just about every other State.  Earlier, I said if Trump got within 5% in New Jersey he would win all the swing States.  At the time, I thought that judgment a bit optimistic, but it came to pass.

On her part, Kamala, a/k/a, Que Mala, Harris was unable to increase the Democrat share of the vote in any county in the U.S.  Republicans won 53 Senate seats, and are poised to maintain control of the House.  The extent of the destruction has been sobering for Democrats.  They staked everything on their hatred of all things Trump, and they lost big time.  The fallout has been so shocking that Democrats were unable to orchestrate anti-Trump protests and riots in the streets.  They may come later, but right now all Democrats have been able to do is to assemble their usual circular firing squad, and blame one another for the defeat.

The extent of their failures is only now coming into focus.  In 2016, Trump won 30 States, and lost the popular vote by 2.8 million.  In 2020, the States were split 25 each, and Trump got 74 million votes, losing the popular vote by 7 million, when Biden supposedly got 81 million votes.  This year, Trump won 32 States, got 75 million votes, and is more than 3 million votes ahead in the popular vote.

In so doing, Trump increased his share of voting blocs dramatically.  +12% among voters under 30.  +25% with voters earning less than $50,000.  +18% with voters with no college.  +15% with Blacks.  +38% with Hispanics.  +32 with Asians.  +8% among all female voters.  His share of votes from Muslims and Jews also went up.  Democrats are justifiably alarmed, and the blame game is in full swing.

Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders placed the blame on a Democrat Party that abandoned the working class.  Nancy Pelosi took exception to that judgment, and laid the blame on Joe Biden, who she said should have bowed out sooner to permit an open primary.  Instead, complained Nancy, Biden waited too long and then endorsed Kamala.  Translation – We knew Kamala was no good, but were stuck with her.

Then, proving Democrats still don’t get it, Pelosi pointed to “cultural issues” for the loss, naming “Guns, God, and Gays” as reasons for the defeat.  Clearly, Nancy can’t understand voters’ preoccupation with protecting their First and Second Amendment rights, instead of  prioritizing sexual preference.  What Pelosi means is,  “The voters were just too stupid to choose Que Mala.”

CNN’s Fareed Zacaria came closer to the truth, but still missed the mark.  He named three reasons.  1) Biden was blind to the border mess. (No – the border mess was Biden’s policy).  2) Overzealous political prosecutions of Trump “gave the impression” that the justice system had been weaponized.  (No – it wasn’t just an impression.  The system was weaponized against Trump).  3) Democrats were too concerned with identity politics. (While true, this is a hard fault to fix.  Without dividing voters into groups to be played against one another, Democrats have no plan).

Many of the post-election comments proved that, even after the electoral beating, Democrats still miss the point.  A Que Mala pollster said, “If the economy were perceived by voters as swimming, things might be different.  But for now, it’s clear these voters I’m talking about — particularly young men, Black men, Hispanic men, and rural White voters — do not see the Democrats as addressing their everyday needs.”  Democrats confuse reality with perception.  There wasn’t inflation, there was a perception of high prices.  Crime isn’t running rampant, there’s a perception you’re not safe.

Sorry, Democrats.  The problem wasn’t your message, it was your product.  People don’t perceive that they can’t pay their bills; they’re broke.  People don’t perceive they’re unsafe, they’ve been robbed.  And the working people who voted for Donald Trump didn’t just perceive that the Democrat Party had done nothing for them.  Democrats proved themselves too preoccupied with illegal aliens, transgender surgeries, and Drag Queen story hour to deal with the problems of mere American citizens.  So Democrats paid the price.  As always, Senator John Kennedy said it best.  “Republicans aren’t perfect, but the other side is crazy.”

On top of all this, Que Mala Harris ran the most inept presidential campaign in American history.  Although she had no primary campaign in which to introduce herself to voters, Que Mala at first refused to make public appearances to answer questions, even from fawning psuedo-journalists.  Que Mala had one message – “I am not Trump.”  That proved to be insufficient.

Proving that Democrats never should be allowed to handle money, Que Mala raised $1.2 billion from the usual Leftist suspects.  She managed to spend all of it, and wound up $20 million in debt.  A cursory review of Que Mala’s campaign spending proved that the entirety of her campaign was just as fake as she is.

Que Mala was awash with the support of numerous so-called celebrities, such as Oprah, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Beyonce,  Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry, right?  Well, not so much.  It turns out Que Mala had to pay them for their participation in her campaign.  Billionaire Oprah got $1 million, and the pre-election concerts in big cities cost the campaign the $20 million that Que Mala now owes.  She even paid Al Sharpton $500,000.  Great investment, huh?  These revelations underscore Que Mala’s unpopularity.  Trump didn’t have to pay Elon Musk, Dana White or Hulk Hogan.  Poor Que Mala.  It’s like the old joke, “They had to tie a pork chop around her neck just to get the dog to play with her.”

The truth is that Democrats, all suffering from delusions of rectitude, believed their own bullshit.  They thought Que Mala would win, so she had to win.  Now many Democrats, especially large and small donors who were taken in, are understandably angry.  And Democrat Governors, the place where one normally would look for 2028 nominees, are offering nothing but resistance to Trump.  Or as Al Sharpton once said, “Resist, we much.”  Congressional Democrats are still discussing attempting to stop Trump from being certified as President.  I thought that was called insurrection.  Good luck with that.

Democrats now face a long road back.  Because they believe themselves always to be right, they will have a hard time fixing their problems.  I couldn’t be happier.

FRANK ON FRIDAY – How Sweet It Is

As this is written, Donald Trump has been elected the 47th President of the United States.  Many people, including myself, doubted that Trump could survive the relentless persecution he has for eight years endured; the constant bashing in the media; the impeachments; the lawsuits; the criminal charges; and the never ending bald-faced lies.  A lesser man never could have maintained his sanity, much less achieve the miraculous political resurrection that Trump has managed to pull off.

Abraham Lincoln famously said, “You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.”  Despite the 24/7 barrage of lies, half-truths, and delusions perpetrated by those who masquerade as practitioners of journalism in the United States, enough of the electorate remained unfooled.  They were able to see through the media deceptions, the phony celebrity endorsements, and the fraudulent polling.  I suppose this proves that, “You can screw most the voters some of the time, but you cannot screw all of the voters all of the time.”

The magnitude of the Trump victory cannot be understated.  Think about it.  In spite of the best, or more accurately the worst, the Left could muster, the Deplorable, Election Denier, Racist, Anti-Semitic, Sexist, Rapist, Impeached, Fascist, Felon, Stalin, Hitler, Threat to Democracy, Piece of Garbage, Donald J. Trump, will be our next President.  And to all the delusional Leftists who in 2020 broke or ignored every election law, stuffed every ballot box, magically produced phantom bins of sketchy mail ballots, and then prosecuted anyone who dared to object – Trump is coming back, and you have no one to blame but yourselves.  

The Left went to unprecedented lengths to rid themselves of the troublesome Trump in 2020.  They foisted Joe Biden on America, portraying him as a centrist.  Biden pledged to be a unifier.  Once in office, they convinced the simple-minded boob to abandon unity in order to advance every Marxist fever dream boondoggle policy ever imagined.  Because the meme was “Trump bad,” they undid every Trump policy.  The policies that had resulted in lower taxes, higher wages, energy independence, world peace, and a booming economy all were unraveled.

There followed reckless spending fueling crippling inflation, soaring interest rates, and a nationwide housing crisis, made all the worse by swarms of illegal alien invaders.  Calls to defund the police, and Soros backed prosecutors who refused to enforce the law, allowed criminal gangs to run wild.  Simply put, Biden and Harris fucked up everything they touched, then turned around and asked America to give them four more years to finish the destruction.  Thankfully, the voters declined.

Had the Left not screwed Trump out of the 2020 election, in January 2025, Trump would be gone, and they could go about their liberal idiocy in a country with secure borders, no inflation, a vibrant economy, and a world at peace.  Instead, they are now going to have to endure the return of Trump the Barbarian.

Homer (the Greek, not Simpson) said that “revenge is far sweeter than flowing honey.”  Alfred Hitchcock added that, “revenge is sweet and not fattening.”  French writer Eugene Sue is responsible for the quote, “revenge is a dish best served cold.”  Trump has said his victory will be his revenge, and now, after four long years in the wilderness, he can enjoy that dish at his leisure.

The markets have reacted favorably to the return of Trump, with Dow Jones futures up 1,300 points, other indices way up, and bitcoin values soaring.  But not everyone is happy with the result.  Despite the Democrat Campaign of Joy, there is no joy in Progressive Mudville, for the flighty Kamala, a/k/a, Que Mala, has struck out.  Leftists of all stripes are losing their minds, and I couldn’t be happier.

Keep in mind that leftists are never happy, even when they win.  Based upon this illogic, they really should be happy now because they have lots to be unhappy about.  And as the utter shock of Trump’s performance begins to sink in, the recriminations have only just begun.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid denounced Florida as an “extreme right-wing fascist State.”  Progressives are always the first ones to criticize any real progress.

Communist Van Jones, true to form, reached right for the race card, saying Trump “had a license to be an obnoxious ass that Que Mala never had because of her race and gender,” arguing that “if you’re a person of color, you don’t feel like you have that freedom.”  Sorry Van, if you feel shackled by your race it’s not Trump’s fault, and by the way, you are an obnoxious ass, despite your race.

Juan Williams (why is he on Fox?) complained that the voters ignored January 6th, to vote against a black woman.  No Juan, the voters rightfully determined that their current inability to provide for their families was more important than a four year old trespassing episode that only the media, lying Democrats (that’s redundant), and Liz Cheney considered to be an insurrection.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell denounced the Electoral College as “the Founding Fathers’ version of voter suppression.”  No, you imbecile, it was the Founding Fathers’ version of tyrant suppression.  The Electoral College protected the small States from domination by Virginia and New York, and without the Electoral College, there would have been no Constitution and no United States.

In any case, this year, for the first time in 20 years, the victorious Republican candidate not only won the electoral vote, but also the popular vote, as this is written by a margin of 5 million.  But don’t confuse Leftists with the facts.  A good complaint is a good complaint.

Leftists even took out their frustrations on the Empire State Building, which glowed red whenever Trump won a swing State.  One wrote that the building was celebrating the end of democracy.  No jerky.  When voters choose the candidate they prefer that is democracy.

The perverted world of Hollywood, so-called celebrities, was predictably triggered by a free and fair election.  Billy Eilish and Christina Applegate bemoaned a coming “war on women.”  The suddenly relevant Cardi B was more blunt, “I hate y’all bad.  Get away from me.  Burn your fucking hats.”

The demented Bette Midler posted a photo suggesting the drinking of Draino if Trump won.  Now, I don’t recommend such action, but I will overnight her a case of Draino.  Bottoms up!  There’s little danger though.  I think Bette Midler promised to leave the country if Trump won in 2016, yet she’s still among us.  I’ve never been a fan of pitcher Roger Clemons, but I have to second his recent advice. “Whoever said I’m leaving America if Trump wins, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.”  Amen.

Finally, there is British writer Philip Pullman (I never heard of him either), who took it upon himself to write, “Goodbye America, it was nice knowing you.”  Listen you Limey SOB, now you know how normal Americans felt after being subjected to the depredations of you and the rest of your stupid Hollywood perverted asshole buddies.  Go back to your own country and tell your King how to run things. Cheerio!

If I appear to be gloating over Trump’s victory, you bet I am.  We’re all entitled to savor the moment.  I’ll put it in terms even a Hollywood A-hole can understand.  Remember Star Wars?  2016 was A New Hope.  2020 was The Empire Strikes Back. And 2024 is The Return of the Maga.  Only this time, instead of a star fighter, Trump is piloting a different vehicle –

Time to take out the real trash.

 

 

FRANK ON FRIDAY – Don’t

The Biden/Harris Administration employs very simple language.  They use small words that are easy to understand.  President Harry Truman’s oral biography was entitled Plain Speaking.  But that’s not the kind of simple language used by Harris and Biden.  Harry Truman spoke plainly by stating his positions on issues in no uncertain terms.  He was sometimes blunt, but there never was any doubt about where he stood.  He even had a sign on his desk that said “The Buck Stops Here.”

The simple language used by Kackling Komrade Kamala Harris, a/k/a, Queen Scamala I, doesn’t, and isn’t intended to inform you about where she stands.  Quite the opposite.  Kamala’s simple words aren’t the words of a plain speaker, but rather the words of a simpleton, who’s hoping a majority of the electorate is just as simple as she is.  Her simple words are intended to obscure and disguise her radical positions on a range issues.  You might call it Kamalaflage.  Simply put, she simply lies.

If Kamala had a sign on her desk (does she even have a desk?), it wouldn’t say, “The Buck Stops Here.”  Her sign might say, “The Buck Never Had a Chance,” or “The Buck Isn’t Worth a Dime,” or “Where Can We Borrow Another Buck,” or maybe simply, “It’s All Trump’s Fault.”

Kamala keeps telling us she’s not Joe Biden.  However, in many ways the two are identical.  Simple language is a good example.  There’s nothing simpler than a one word answer.  And the one word often employed by these leftist lunatics is, “Don’t.”

When Russia was about to invade Ukraine, Joe Biden told them, “Don’t.”  They did anyway.  When massive illegal alien caravans were headed toward the U.S. border, Joe Biden told them, “Don’t.”  They did anyway.  Kamala joined the “Don’t” chorus on that one.  After being named the Border Czarina (Oh yes she was – see F on F 8/2/24), she actually took a trip to Guatemala.  While there, Kamala really laid down the law.  She told would-be illegal aliens trying to come to the U.S., “Don’t.”  As I’m sure you’ve already figured out, they did anyway.

Now Kamala wants you to make her President of the United States.  She says she’s going to “turn the page” for “a new way forward.”  The problem for her is that, when she was asked what she would change she said, “Nothing comes to mind.”  When Brett Baier pressed her on this, she said, “My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency, and, like every new president that comes in to office, I will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh and new ideas.  I represent a new generation of leadership.”  Where in that canned blather did she say what she would change?  Nothing comes to mind.

The truth is, any policy Kamala would change would put us in a deeper hole than the one Biden dug.  So, if you’re considering voting for Kamala, “Don’t.”

As border Czarina, Kamala told Americans that the border was secure, while untold millions of invaders were admitted, and then permitted to roam at will.  Now she says the border is broken, and she can fix it.  She should know too because she broke it.  Was she lying then, or is she lying now?  Yes.  Think electing Kamala will fix the border?  “Don’t.”

Kamala keeps telling us she was a prosecutor, who prosecuted foreign gangs, so only she can maintain law and order.  The truth is she, like Chris Christie, was a political appointee who never tried a case in court.  Her record on dealing with violent gangs consists of raising $40 million to bail out rioters.

Kamala says crime is down.  The FBI now admits crime really is up under Harris/Biden.  Venezuelan gangsters let into the country by Kamala Harris are running amok, raping, killing, and stealing.  They’re  taking over apartment complexes, from which they’re expelling American citizens.  Kamala made this all possible.  Think you can stay safe by electing her?  “Don’t.”

Kamala hid Joe Biden’s dementia for more than three years, telling us he was “sharp as a tack.”  When Brett Baier asked about this, Kamala praised Biden’s “judgment and experience … in making very important decisions on behalf of the American people,” then pointed out, “Joe Biden is not on the ballot.”  No, he certainly is not, and he’s not because Kamala, Pelosi and Il Duce Obama knifed him in the back, and appointed her.  Think Kamala’s election will advance transparency in government?  “Don’t.”

Donald Trump’s  tax cuts  increased government revenue, boosted employment, and increased lower and middle class wages.  Kamala’s “plan” is to “tax a lot more and spend a lot more.”  She wants to increase corporate taxes, personal taxes and estate taxes.  She claims it only will affect the rich.  Don’t believe it.  Her plans will kill business expansion, investment and employment.  Simply put, if raising corporate taxes results in your job being eliminated, how does that help the middle class?  Want to elect Kamala to soak the rich?  “Don’t.”

Kamala wants to spend trillions more on tax credits, phony homeowner and small business payoffs, Medicare for illegals, and the Green New Deal.  On top of that, she wants to abolish oil and gas, and mandate electric vehicles.  These policies will cause inflation to explode, send interest rates back up, and cost millions of jobs.  If you’re voting for Kamala because you think she’ll help you pay your bills, “Don’t.”

The President is the chief spokesperson for the United States.  In addition to being our Commander in Chief, the President is the Communicator in Chief, to Americans, as well as to friend and foe all over the world.  But Kamala has a problem.  She has no communication skills.  She’s unable to think on her feet, answer an unexpected question, or engage in any unrehearsed dialogue, even with sympathetic media whores.

That may be why she has not, and will not, hold a press conference, or engage in a Town Hall style session.  She even refused to attend the Al Smith Dinner, proving that she can’t even read jokes written by somebody else.  And on those rare occasions when Kamala does speak, what she says is meaningless, incomprehensible, tripe.

Kamala was asked, “What do you say to the people who aren’t believing in your “policies?”  She served up this salad, “Well if you are … hard working … if you … have … uh … the dreams and the ambitions and the aspirations of what I believe you do, you’re in my plan.”  If you’re struggling not to aspirate your own vomit, you’re not alone.  Not comfortable with Kamala as the face of the nation?  “Don’t.”

Finally, Kamala keeps warning us that “democracy is on the ballot.”  What she doesn’t tell you is, she and her Democrat cronies are the ones who are planning to cancel it.  They oppose the First and Second Amendments, they want to abolish the electoral college, make D.C. and Puerto Rico States to get more Democrat Senators, pack the Supreme Court, and replace you with needy illegal aliens.  Want to preserve democracy?  “Don’t” vote for Kamala.

In terms so simple that even a Democrat can understand them, Kamala Harris is a  fraudulent empty vessel, inside a layer of propaganda, wrapped in a pantsuit.  Her message is, don’t believe your lying eyes, don’t question her lies, don’t pay attention to your mounting bills, don’t believe your bank statement, and don’t you dare think for yourself.  My message is, Kamala is full of shit.  Don’t elect her.  Or, as Joe Biden might simply say, “Don’t.”

FRANK ON FRIDAY – No Sale

The election is approaching, and the polls indicate that it’s close.  If Democrats wind up on the short end of the contest, perhaps they will conclude that they may have been better served by running a candidate of proven ability, who ran on the issues.  The Democrat campaign has done anything but that.

Who the proper Democrat candidate could have been is open for debate, however, as the list of Democrats of proven ability, who advance policies that are desired by a majority of Americans is quite short, if not non-existent.  The reason for this is twofold.  First, the heart of the Democrat Party has been hijacked by Leftist crazies, who are advancing Socialist, if not outright Marxist positions.  Simply put, no rational Democrat candidate can be nominated when the bulk of Democrat primary voters are nuts.

Secondly, and most importantly, it’s been impossible for Democrats to run on issues affecting Americans because they are so obsessed with hatred of Donald Trump that they have little time for mundane things like runaway inflation, 20 million illegal alien invaders coming over the border, the threat of world war, and deadly natural disasters.

No part of any Democrat political ad, debate answer, or other talking point in this campaign has said, “This is why you should vote for Kamala.”  100% of the Democrat line has been, “Trump is bad.”  “Trump is an existential threat to democracy,” and “Trump is – fill in the blank – Hitler, Stalin, you get the picture.”

Their Trump Derangement Syndrome obsession is likely the reason that Trump has been the victim of assassination attempts.  The media has kept up the “Trump is Hitler” drumbeat for eight years.  Media imbeciles have wrung their hands, worrying that, if reelected, Trump will imprison them.  Formerly noted historian, Michael Beschloss, has even pondered whether recording history will be permitted after a new Trump term.  This is rich, as it comes from the Party that itself is erasing history.

The media whores are worried about retaliation from Trump with good reason.  They have been relentlessly lying about and screwing the man for 8 years.  But their stated fears are simply part of their anti-Trump attack.  He was president for four years, and unlike Il Duce Obama, Trump never tried to prosecute journalists.  Here’s a tip.  If you want to stop feeling guilty, stop screwing Trump.

Kamala has called Trump an existential threat.  In July, Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden told donors “It’s time to put a bullseye on Trump.”  The next week, he was shot in Pennsylvania.  Should that be a surprise?  If a simple-minded Democrat is convinced that Trump is no better than Hitler, and that he is an existential threat to democracy, then wouldn’t killing him be justified?  The assassination attempt in Butler, and the second attempt in Florida taught Democrats nothing.  Commerce Secretary Raimondo later said, “Trump must be extinguished.”

And at the same time that they’re stirring up hatred for Trump which puts his life in danger, Democrats continue their incessant bald-faced lying, which is the central theme of their campaign.  Democrats, who warn that “democracy is on the ballot,” tell the unsuspecting that Trump will cancel the First Amendment, at the same time they are complaining about the “problem” of free speech.

Recently, I saw a car with a Harris/Walz sticker on it, along with another which said “Democracy Matters.”  I wish I could have spoken to its driver.  Our form of government is guaranteed by the same Constitution that Democrats view as an obstruction, rather than the supreme law of the land.

I had some questions, like, if Democracy Matters, why is your Party opposed to the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Supreme Court (Article III) and the Electoral College (Article II)?  No matter.  I’m sure they couldn’t tell me.

The Democrat campaign consists of lies and fear-mongering, but you can hardly blame them.  It’s not as though they can run on the issues.  The economy, the border invasion, crime, national security, you name it, and the Democrats have made it worse the last four years.  The illegal alien invasion, coupled with crippling high interest rates, have fueled a housing crisis.  The inventory of homes for sale is dwindling, jacking up sale prices, and the monthly mortgage payment is up from $2100 to $3300.  People are hurting, struggling to put food on the table.  Yet through it all, Kamala Harris preaches “the politics of joy.”  I guess it’s true, ignorance must be bliss.

The point is, today’s Democrat Party is a far cry from the Party from which John F. Kennedy launched his New Frontier.  “Ask not what your country can do for you,” has become “Ask not whether migrants are criminals,” “Ask not if a voter is an American citizen,” and “Ask not about our $36 trillion debt, we’ll just print more money.”  JFK would be unwelcome in today’s Democrat Party, just as his nephew RFK, Jr. found himself so unwelcome that he’s supporting Trump.  The truth is, anyone, or anything, sane, reasonable, and prudent is unwelcome in the Democrat Party.

FDR, at the depths of the Great Depression, told Americans they had “nothing to fear but fear itself.”  Fueled by their raging Trump Derangement Syndrome delusions, today’s Democrats are running for election on a new slogan, “We have nothing to sell but fear itself.”

They can’t sell you lower taxes, they want to raise them.  They can’t sell you national security, we’re on the brink of world war.  They can’t sell you a thriving economy, inflation is eating consumers alive.  They can’t sell you personal safety, crime is rampant, and they’re opposed to law enforcement.  And they can’t sell you job security, because they just admitted 20 million illegal aliens who will do your job for half your pay.

But November is at hand, and Democrats want your vote.  The Harris campaign of “Joy” seems anything but joyful, as she scolds and shrieks her way toward the election.  All the joy seems to be with the Trump campaign, as he takes the time to speak with real people, even working the fryer and the drive-up window at a McDonald’s.  Here’s some advice.  Don’t buy the Democrat lies.  Don’t buy the Democrat hype.  Don’t get caught up in their fear-mongering.  Tell the Democrats – No Sale.

FRANK ON FRIDAY – One Journalist Gets It

Last week my faith in journalism was bolstered a bit by the speech Matt Taibbi made to the Rescue the Republic Forum.  His subject was the assault on free speech both here and abroad, and he proved that at least one journalist understands what’s at stake.  Here are part of his remarks.

Because “freedom of speech” is now frequently described as a stalking horse for hate and discrimination — the UN High Commissioner Volker Türk scolded Elon Musk that “free speech is not a free pass” — it’s becoming one of those soon-to-be-extinct terms.  Speech is mentioned in “reputable” media only as a possible vector for the informational disease known as misinformation.

The end game is not controlling speech. They’re already doing that. The endgame is getting us to forget we ever had anything to say …

After that I realized every American has a little bit of asshole in him. William Blake said, “Always be ready to speak your mind and a base man will avoid you.”  Some struggle with this concept.  Americans are born knowing it …

Incidentally propaganda is the same trick I saw in that restaurant.  It’s always someone trying to make you feel bad for their weakness, their mistakes.  Don’t be ground down by it.  Stand up straight and give it back.

Which is why I say: Kerry, Hayden, Cheney, Adam Schiff, Craig Newmark, Reid Hoffman, Pierre Omidyar, Leon Panetta, and especially that Time editor turned self-appointed censor Rick Stengel should be packed in a rocket and launched into the fucking sun.

Let’s be clear about our language.  Madison famously eschewed the word toleration or tolerance when it came to religion and insisted on the words freedom or liberty instead.  This became the basis for the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which in turn became the basis for the Bill of Rights.  That’s why we don’t have “toleration of religion” or “toleration of speech.”  We have freedom of speech.  The right word for the right time.

To the people who are suggesting that there are voices who should be ignored because they’re encouraging mistrust or skepticism of authority, or obstructing consensus: I’m not encouraging you to be skeptical of authority.  I’m encouraging you to DEFY authority.  That is the right word for this time.

To all those Snoops and Nosey Parkers sitting in their Homeland Security-funded “Centers of Excellence,” telling us day after day we must think as they say and vote as they say or else we’re traitorous Putin-loving fascists and enablers of “dangerous” disinformation:

Motherfucker, I’m an American.  That shit does not work on me.  And how can you impugn my patriotism, when you’re sitting in Klaus Schwab’s (World Economics Forum) lap, apologizing for the First Amendment to a crowd of Europeans?  Look in the mirror.

I’m not the problem.  We’re not the problem.

You’re the problem.  YOU SUCK!

Thank you.

Wow!  Thank you Matt Taibbi.  At least one journalist has figured out that, once you let the censors into the tent, there will be no stopping them.  The wonder is why every other journalist hasn’t figured out that, after they silence Trump and Elon Musk, their own freedom of the press is next on the chopping block.

To quote Joe Biden, “No joke.”  The assault on free speech is well underway.  Hillary Clinton said that social media companies must moderate content on their platforms or else “we lose total control.”  She wants to see more done by the federal government to moderate content, including lawsuits and criminal charges.  Hillary went to Yale, and is supposed to be a lawyer.  Maybe, since 1791, word hasn’t reached Yale that the content of speech is the very thing the First Amendment was enacted to protect.

John Kerry has described the First Amendment as a “major block” to the federal government stopping what it deems to be “disinformation.” Kerry wants “Progressives” to “implement change.”  Kerry went so far as to say “Democracies around the world now are struggling with the absence of a sort of truth arbiter, and there’s no one who defines what facts really are.”

Two questions.  How can the unconstitutional stripping of individual freedoms be considered “progressive?”  And, would you be comfortable with somebody from the government, let’s say Karine Jean Pierre, as the Arbiter of Truth, and approver of all speech?  Since they’re still allowing us to vote on November 5th, I would vote against that Party.

And those two 80 year old gargoyles (Clinton and Kerry) are far from the only opponents of free speech in public life.  Adam Schiff (for brains) and a group of other Democrats have introduced a proposed constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United decision, one of the greatest free-speech victories in history, which protects political speech.

The Schiff amendment would overturn Citizens United, and thus the First Amendment, and empower state and federal governments to enact “reasonable,” “viewpoint-neutral” limitations on speech that “influences” elections.  Of course, somebody like Karine Jean Pierre or Hillary Clinton would decide what speech was “reasonable” and “viewpoint neutral.”  So put me down as a “No.”

“Free speech is killing us,” headlined a New York Times op-ed.  Its author was staff writer Andrew Marantz.  He argued that “hate speech” leads to violence, can cause totalitarianism, and even genocide.  Marantz wants to “rethink” (cancel) the First Amendment.  Vice-Presidential candidate Tim Walz agrees, saying that the First Amendment doesn’t protect disinformation or “hate speech.”

The First Amendment jurisprudence of our Supreme Court does not recognize anything called “hate speech.”  And even if it did, once again, who gets to decide what it is?  The term “hate speech” is nothing more than a leftist plot to scare you into giving up your God given rights.

The simple minded chorus of free speech deniers gets louder each day,  as the election grows closer.  In the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, Trump, and other Republicans complained that DHS spent $1 billion on illegal aliens, and now is short of funds for natural disasters.  Democrats yelled “foul” and said it was untrue.  Biden called it “Unamerican.” It’s one example of the kind of speech Democrats want to censor as “misinformation.”

However, there are two problems.  First, there is no constitutional way to censor misinformation in a political campaign or anywhere else, and as I’ve observed previously, you couldn’t run a decent political campaign without misinformation.  Secondly, everything the Republicans said was true. The information came from Mayorkas himself, who said the Department was out of money, and from the DHS website.  If Democrats get their way the only “information” you will be permitted to hear is whatever shit the government decides to peddle as the truth.

Then again, using the Left’s test, maybe what DHS itself said was misinformation.  Somebody better call Hillary to get a ruling on that.  Matt Taibbi was right.  I’m not the problem.  We’re not the problem.  They are the problem.  THEY SUCK!  Thank you.
