Biden Ducks

There were a number of questions that Chris Wallace didn’t ask in the first presidential debate ... or were asked by Trump ... but Biden either ducked or refused to answer. Wouldn’t it be nice if the next two debates filled in this key information void for American voters? But knowing the moderators and venues in these next debates, I don’t believe we will get these questions answered. Here are the Biden posers we voters need to have answered:

- Who, by name, would you appoint to the Supreme Court?

- Do you advocate packing the Supreme Court?

- Have you used a teleprompter is any of your pressers?

- If unsolicited mail-in voting is shown to be fraudulent, will you condemn it?

- Would you push to scuttle the Electoral Collage?

- Were you aware of and participated in Operation Crossfire Hurricane?

- Would you like to eliminate the filibuster in the Senate?

- Why did your son, Hunter get $3.5 million from the wife of the former mayor of Moscow?

- Will you implement AOC’s Green New Deal in its entirety?

- Are you taking any prescription medications to enhance your mental acuity?

- Do you advocate statehood for Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia?

- Will you now denounce Antifa and BLM anarchy?

- Are you prepared to shut down the economy again?

- Will you take the Covid vaccine when it is passed by the FDA?

- Would you eliminate tariffs on China ... and elsewhere?


Just for starters ... more than enough to investigate in three more hours of debate. ... or in future pressers. And, if one were honest, there are not many such embarrassing questions that have not been asked of  the Orangeman.

Afterthought: Chris Wallace is certainly sharp enough to have pressed Biden on a few of the above questions? What does the fact that he didn’t suggest about Wallace?

Liberal Arrows

According to Nancy Pelosi (and Elizabeth Warren?), America’s  liberals have a lot of arrows in their quivers to threaten who, for many years, have been spineless Republicans. Here are some of them so far identified (I’m sure there are many more arrows):

=> Make states out of Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia =  four more Democrat Senators

=> Accuse Republicans of being racists, homophobes or sexists ... often all three

=> Fulminate violent rioting and mayhem in the streets

=> Eliminate the filibuster rule in the Senate

=> Call Trump & Company white supremacist, Nazis, etc.

=> Impeach the President, the Attorney General, etc.

=> Obliterate the electoral college

=> Pull down statues, rename locales and cover our cities with graffiti both unsanctioned and sanctioned

=> Physically threaten conservatives with bodily harm

=> Stop enforcing the law in many of our major cities and defund the police


That is, this was the case until Donald Trump reminded us that we all have backbones.

Presidential Elections

Can the Democrats re-craft the original intent of the signers of our Constitution from in-person voting to proxy voting, from voting day to voting week(s), from the electoral college voting to direct popular  voting, from known to unknown voters? Below is the revenant clause from our Constitution about presidential voting ... backed by the assumptions and original intent of its signers. You decide if we are moving too far afield from this document’s clear purpose.

Constitution — Article II Section 1 paragraph 4;

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the day on which they shall give their Votes; which day shall be the same throughout the United States.

STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

Democracy on Life Support

The impeachment of President Trump is a clear example of the rabid radicalization of the Left. This group is so unhinged that they are willing to sacrifice democratic processes to unseat an elected official whom they detest. The methods that the Democrats used in the House impeachment process were obviously rigged ... yet, for the first time in a long time, these same Democrats hypocritically wrapped themselves, with “great solemnity,” in the flag and the Constitution.

This unsettling trend is also occurring in Great Britain where Boris Johnson just won a huge popular mandate to reestablish this country’s independence by implementing Brexit. Yet there are riots in  the streets of London refusing to recognize this lawful election ... see: Not My Prime Minister!

This is quite an unsettling trend ... progressives, unused to being in the minority, are now on the edge of revolution ... unwilling to accept how their countrymen vote. Yes, Hillary Clinton probably won the popular vote in 2016, so Trump’s election was a fortunate fluke caused by the Electoral College in our democratic Republic. But there is a very good chance that he will win the popular vote the next time around ... at which point the Left’s mouths will go dry with their spittle being excessively flecked.

American democracy then really will be on life-support. Dangerous!

Boiling the Ocean

It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. — Confucius

There seems to be legions of sanctimonious martinets who believe that they can cure the Earth of all the ills that we vandals are forcing upon the innocents. We are killing porpoises by eating a tuna fish sandwich and befouling our seas by drinking our soda with a plastic straw.

These many social justice warriors fight with placards and bullhorns to save the spotted owl, the snail darter, allow fluid gender men to use ladies rooms, ban Big Gulps, stop global warming, fight for free speech (oops, that’s an obsolete one), stop illegal alien babies from being RIPPED from their mothers’ arms, allow transgender high school boys to wrestle in girls’ tournaments, castigate “white supremacists,” get rid of the Electoral College and on and on and on. There is no end to the things that Rosie O’Donnell, Barbara Streisand and Joy(less) Bahar clamor that we must remedy TODAY! (Why so many women social justice warriors?)

Bottom line: It would seem that the energy expended by all these combatants to force the rest of us to do mostly silly things might be better spent performing just one or two small acts that repair something meaningful ... like how poorly educated many of our children are. Maybe each should begin by inspiring just one recalcitrant child into a respect for knowledge.

If everyone who wants to boil the ocean would just make a cup of hot tea for a thirsty elder, we would be far better off ... with far less angst ... and far fewer blasting megaphones.

Too Clever ...

Seventeen liberal states have passed laws stating that they will cast all their Electoral College votes for the presidential candidate who wins the popular vote. I have no idea if this perversion will pass Constitutional muster, but it clearly is a reaction to Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton when he did not win the popular vote.

However, what would happen if Trump were to win the popular vote in 2020? Given the sizes of his rally crowds and the fractured nature of the Democrat primary field ... and a possible third-party candidate like Howard Schultz ... this possibility is not zero. OK, assume this does come about ... then Trump would sweep back into office with an almost unanimous Electoral College vote count ... even though he may have lost big Democrat states like New York and California ... he still would get their electoral votes.

The liberal screaming then would likely last until 2024 ... by which time most of those states that the Democrat candidate had carried but whose Electoral College votes went to Trump ... would have reversed these silly laws. No?

What’s the expression ... too clever by a half?

Drying-up Puddle

The Dems are angry, very angry. They would turn Washington upside down to get rid of Trump. Hell, they would turn our country upside down just to embarrass our orange-haired leader.

Yes, national polling says that the Dems might be on the cusp of winning in 2020 ... which seems to validate their many proposals: pack the Supreme Court, open our borders, increase taxes, eliminate the Electoral College, allow abortions into the fourth trimester, pay blacks reparations, destroy ICE, implement the Green New Deal, and on and on ... to prevail until we become Venezuela.

The Dems grand plot to make our president an eunuch... Mueller’s Russian collusion investigation  ... has shit the bed. And so, in spittle-flecked desperation, they are asking for an investigation Mulligan. But they seem oblivious to the fact that the American people are becoming bored with these warmed-over conspiracy leftovers. Even though the polls dispute such a conclusion ... we are learning more and more ... like just in Australia ... that polls are sucking wind. The Dems can try contempt of Congress or impeachment of Bill Barr or even Trump ... but they are likely losers.

But somehow I get the impression that all these radical proposals are acts of desperation ... a realization that, if the economy stays as good as it is now ... coupled with a win in North Korea, Iran, Venezuela or China ... Trump will be unbeatable. It’s a little like the Dems are worms caught in a drying-up puddle ... flipping around in the realization of their coming fate.

Please hear me you worms: Robert DeNiro, Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff? Squirming around in a drying-up puddle is not a winning strategy.

French Kiss

Over the weekend Bill Kristol, the editor of the Weekly Standard, had most talking heads aflutter by saying that he had persuaded an "impressive" person to run for president on the Independent ticket. Who was it ... Mitt Romney ... Paul Ryan ... Ben Sasse ... Tom Cotton ... Rick Perry ... Scott Walker ... Rick Santorum? Whether this end run was to insure that Hellery Clinton would win in November ... or that this band of desperadoes were just trying to cause no candidate to get enough Electoral College votes to win outright ... and thus the House of Representatives would then decide the election ... was the unclear motive. But Bill Kristol clearly has had a hair across his somewhere about Donald Trump winning the Republican nomination.

However, after a few days media tease, we just learned who this dark horse was ... David French, a conservative National Review writer, former Iraqi soldier and Tennessee lawyer... see: Daily Caller Article ... not exactly a household name. Matter of fact I strongly suspect that the person Kristol had in mind over the weekend got cold feet and Mr. French was a last minute substitute to save face. Now since any candidate needs to have a 15% national poll showing to get in the final debate programs, I suspect that Mr. French may have just had his fifteen minutes of fame ... ala Andy Warhol. This bit of snidery on my part is not meant to sully Mr. French, but I can't say the same for Bill Kristol who, to me, has finally stepped over the line into kookdom.

And he calls Donald Trump a "roaring jackass" ...
