Ron DeSantis has launched his presidential bid to much laughter and derision. Seriously, Twitter? Rumble could actually manage such a huge stream but Twitter? Evidently, not. I’ve heard nothing good about the production or the optics. A DeSantis run is ill advised at best and he managed to face plant straight out of the gate. So far so bad. Trump is already on the attack. I’m anything but surprised. Trump plans to win. DeSantis doesn’t seem to have much of … Continue reading “DeSantis Loses Launch; Huge Supreme Court Win for Americans”
Will Trump be Arrested?
As of 6:45 PM EST Tuesday there has been no arrest. Evidentially, the Grand Jury didn’t convene today so no indictment could have been made by them. Given New York’s nearly hysterical reaction to Trump’s call for protests, did the DA decide to sit today out? I don’t know. What’s being reported right now is that the grand jury will reconvene tomorrow and an indictment could come as soon as that, but at least one more witness is expected to … Continue reading “Will Trump be Arrested?”
Don’t Become the Monster: US Edition
The Biden Administration is a train wreck. Get out of its way. That doesn’t mean stay silent or to never criticize. After all, we’d like this particular train wreck to do as little damage as possible. No, it’s a cautionary statement to not become a distraction from just how bad the Biden Admin is all by its little self. Think first, argue later. This little gem is something the Democrats no longer do and that lack has cost them dearly. … Continue reading “Don’t Become the Monster: US Edition”
Why Arizona Elections Matter
Simple, letting cheaters get away with it is the same as destroying the system they are cheating within. See you next… Again? Okay, so let’s break it down. If you can guess which cup the pea is under I will give you two dollars. But if you guess wrong you will give me one dollar. Gambling is a lousy way to invest, just so you know. Odds favor the house or the house wouldn’t be in business. But hey, if … Continue reading “Why Arizona Elections Matter”
Maricopa County: Why Democrats Cheat
There are polls you never see. These are done on behalf of campaigns. Campaigns spend a WHOLE LOT of money on these polls. That doesn’t mean they don’t have issues because all modern polling has issues, but it does mean they should be far more accurate than the garbage aired on the news each night. These polls are done early and often. They are used to guide the strategic planning of a campaign. That sounds worse than it is; polls … Continue reading “Maricopa County: Why Democrats Cheat”
If You Like Things the Way They are, Don’t Vote
If you’re happy with the system and the administration, stay home. Do nothing. Watch reality TV instead of being involved in reality. Now, if you like the admin but think it could be better, vote. If you are in the majority that is displeased with the admin, vote. Not voting is dumb. The admin is going to take low turnout as approval. This is true in 2022 and will be in 2024, 2026, 2028, 2030 ad infinitum (or at least … Continue reading “If You Like Things the Way They are, Don’t Vote”
Primarily Primary
Tomorrow’s the big day here in Alabama. I’ve changed my mind about three times so far – today. I know who I’m NOT voting for, but that leaves me with a lot of untested candidates. Still, the GOP primary will likely decide most of the office holders for the next two years – this is the problem with one party states, the primary is more decisive than the general election – so I’ve got to do my due diligence and … Continue reading “Primarily Primary”
The Biggest Danger to the Right in 2022
Hubris. Arrogance. Complacency. Whatever you want to call it, the biggest threat to a red tsunami is voter apathy. We do NOT have it in the bag – that doesn’t happen until after all the votes are counted. If the election were held today, I doubt many Democrats would be returning to Congress. People are fed up and angry – and all of that ire is aimed at the Democrats. Blaming Trump is laughable – and not working. One failure … Continue reading “The Biggest Danger to the Right in 2022”
Dear Democrats
Back when I was in college – in that awkward time between disco and Who Shot JR? – my professors of Political Science all agreed that it was a very bad idea to do anything to the opposition party that you didn’t want them to do to you. This wasn’t a nod to the Golden Rule – it was an extremely pragmatic bit of advise based on the one absolute rule of politics – political winds ALWAYS change. Eventually, the … Continue reading “Dear Democrats”
