Trump 2.0: ‘Siri, What Is Payback?’
Posted on | November 14, 2024 | Comments Off on Trump 2.0: ‘Siri, What Is Payback?’

Donald Trump has apparently decided to settle all family business, and his enemies have good reason to fear his retribution. Like nearly everybody else on the planet, I was shocked by the choice of Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, which Trump ally Thomas Massie says will be done by recess appointment, bypassing the need for Senate confirmation.
All day Wednesday, my office TV was tuned to MSNBC (I watch, so you don’t have to) and they were howling over Trump’s pick of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, which choice is perfectly defensible, given Hegseth’s combat record as an infantry officer with two bronze stars, and never mind his degrees from Princeton and Harvard. If the MSNBC talking heads were howling over Hegseth, however, their reaction to the news of Gaetz as Attorney General could best be desribed as autistic screeching, as the kids say. Their brains completely melted.
Well, first let’s get the news from Associated Press:
President-elect Donald Trump chose Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida to serve as his attorney general on Wednesday, bypassing more experienced options in favor of a loyalist who has built a national reputation as a disruptor and whom Trump has tasked with dramatically overhauling the Justice Department.
Trump also announced that he had tapped Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida as his nominee for secretary of state. And he selected Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic member of Congress and presidential candidate, to serve as his director of national intelligence.
The choices continued a pattern of Trump stocking his Cabinet with those he believes he can trust to execute his agenda rather than longtime officials with experience in their fields. Gaetz’s selection, in particular, was seen as a shock. The Florida lawmaker was not among the more established attorneys who had been mentioned as contenders for the job, and even his colleagues in Congress appeared stunned by the news. . . .
[Gaetz] irked fellow GOP members in early 2023 when he filed the resolution that successfully ousted former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. McCarthy then helped fund a primary challenge to Gaetz that included commercials alleging that he paid for sex with a 17-year-old, an allegation that had been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee — though that probe effectively ended Wednesday when Gaetz resigned from Congress. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing and the Justice Department ended its own sex trafficking investigation without bringing charges against him.
In case you forgot, Gaetz’s friend “Joel Greenberg pleaded guilty [in 2021] to six charges, including sex trafficking of a minor, identity theft, stalking, wire fraud and conspiracy to bribe a public official, and agreed to cooperate with federal investigators as part of his plea agreement.” Gaetz’s friendship with Greenberg was the subject of all kinds of stories at the time — one might use the adjective sordid to characterize the allegations — and I have no way of knowing what was true or false in any of that. Certainly, it was damaging to Gaetz’s reputation, but he has been reelected to Congress twice since then, so at least two-thirds of voters in the 1st District of Florida didn’t mind. The AP article makes much of Gaetz’s status as a “Trump loyalist,” but it seems to me much more relevant that Gaetz has a motive for revenge against the feds, when you consider that the Justice Department sent his buddy Greenberg to prison in what may have been a prosecution whose real target was Gaetz.
Anyway, while I’m not a member of the Matt Gaetz Fan Club, his selection as Trump’s Attorney General makes sense in the context of Trump desiring to get revenge for Merrick Garland’s politically motivated targeting of Republicans. It’s not just the Mar-a-Lago raid, Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg and the other prosecutions aimed at Trump personally, but also Garland’s use of the FBI and DOJ as a weapon against Republicans quite generally. Gaetz’s job is to expose everyone responsible for those abuses, and to ensure they face some serious consequences. It’s medieval justice — the victorious army has seized the besieged fortress, and the heads of the king’s enemies are going to be hoisted on pikes.
Payback is a bitch, and Gaetz’s job is to deliver payback.

Donald Trump's nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General is telling.

‘A Historic, Flawlessly Run Campaign’
Posted on | November 12, 2024 | Comments Off on ‘A Historic, Flawlessly Run Campaign’

At some point, we will get past the Gloat Zone. Conservatives will begin to grapple with the difficult business of governance, and move on from the cheap thrills of election schadenfreude. Someday, and perhaps one day soon, we will stop mocking liberals and their idiotic “hot takes,” but my dear friends, today is not that day. In the perennial competition for Dumbest Liberal on Cable TV News, you may have your particular favorites — Brian Stelter or Brianna Kellar or whoever — but all of them are mere also-rans compared to the undefeated champion, Joy Reid.
Someone posted a “highlight” compilation video of MSNBC’s coverage on Election Night, which includes this declaration — made before any of the results were known — from the aforementioned Ms. Reid:
“So what you’ve seen in the last couple of weeks, if this is an audition for managing a complex organization like the United States, Kamala Harris has passed the audition flawlessly. This has been, in many ways, a perfect campaign.“
Joy Reid: “If this is an audition for managing a complex organization like the United States, Kamala Harris has passed the audition flawlessly. This has been in many ways a perfect campaign.” #Election2024 #Decision2024 pic.twitter.com/PYNARApL9R
— The ReidOut (@thereidout) November 5, 2024
Not to give away any surprises — in case you just logged on after a week of isolation and don’t know how the election turned out — but “flawless” and “perfect” are perhaps not the correct adjectives for describing how the Kamala Harris campaign was run. Reid’s enthusiasm early on Election Night might be excusable, when you consider that several polls had shown Harris either leading or tied in key battleground states. In Pennsylvania, for example, the final Washington Post poll had Harris ahead by one point, and a Marist College poll had her leading by two points. Even if the Real Clear Politics average of Pennsylvania showed a fractional lead for Trump, no one could blame a Democratic Party hack (which, let’s face it, is Joy Reid’s job description) from hoping that Kamala could pull out a victory there, or in any other battleground state.
As I said before the polls closed, anybody could do the arithmetic and see that if Trump won Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, that was all he needed to reach 270 Electoral College votes and win back the White House. It was past 11:30 p.m. ET before MSNBC called North Carolina for Trump, and past midnight before they called Georgia for Trump. Meanwhile, Steve Kornacki was at the map going through Pennsylvania county-by-county to show that Harris was underperforming there, compared to Joe Biden’s 2020 numbers.
KORNACKI: “This is exactly what the Trump campaign wanted to do.”
pic.twitter.com/M0RYup5XoB— CatholicVote (@CatholicVote) November 6, 2024
All the signs of a Trump victory were obvious and, about 12:45 a.m. ET, MSNBC cut away to Howard University, where the Harris campaign co-chairman made a brief statement basically telling the crowd to go home because they wasn’t going to be a victory celebration. Then they returned to the studio where Joy Reid said:
“And nothing that was true yesterday about how flawlessly this campaign was run is not true now. I mean, this really was a historic, flawlessly run campaign. … You could not have run a better campaign.”
What was this about? It was about staking out a position, that no matter how bad it was, none of the blame could be cast on Kamala Harris.
You can watch the entire nine-minute highlight reel:

And now, for the post-election denouement:
She raised and spent a billion dollars in her losing presidential campaign and left behind a stunning $20 million debt.
Now, Vice President Kamala Harris is begging tired donors for more money for her “fight fund.”
In a new fundraising email to donors, Kamala HQ wrote, “Is there anything we can say to convince you to make a contribution to support the Harris Fight Fund program today?”
The memo from the Harris Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee authorized by Harris for President, the Democratic National Committee, and several state Democratic Parties, said the money will help fund races that have yet to be decided.
Absolutely flawless!

What with all the hours I’ve been putting in on the county elections balancing board and other business, it’s a good thing Pete was feeling lenient, because it took me until yesterday to sort out my keepers list for the 1973 season. (The deadline was October 9.) Finishing as I did with the sixth worst record in the league, I got to keep 11 players, and here they are:

2b Cookie Rojas

Had to drop Ken McMullen because he’s a aprt-time player this year, and the same goes for Richie Scheinblum, who apparently had an injury that kept him from playing full-time.
The draft was going to be on the 23rd, but Pete’s got something going on, and it may get pushed back to the last week of November or maybe even into December. We’ll see.

All I Can Say Is, ‘You’re Welcome’
Posted on | November 10, 2024 | Comments Off on All I Can Say Is, ‘You’re Welcome’

Little did my great-grandfather suspect, as he sat for two years as a prisoner of war at Fort Delaware, that the cause for which he fought would be vindicated some 160 years later when a New York real estate tycoon — the grandson of a German immigrant — defeated the descendant of a Jamaican slave owner in the presidential election. Certainly great-grandpa would be mystified that a Republican victory, which included winning the states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, would be denounced as a triumph of the Confederacy. And I shudder to think what my Confederate ancestor would say about Professor Carol Anderson:
President Donald Trump’s victory is the “last stand of white supremacy,” according to an Emory University African American studies professor.
Professor Carol Anderson, author of “White Rage,” also said “the Confederacy won,” during an interview on Democracy Now!
Trump “advocated” for “racism,” “xenophobia” and “hatred, all wrapped in a sense of honor and gallantry,” Anderson said. This was in “backlash to what they fear was the great replacement.”
“Misogyny” also played a role in Kamala Harris’ loss, according to Anderson.
She said:
I think part of what we’re looking at, because she was explicit about policies, and so the language that she just needs to explain her policies is hokum. It’s that it is — we’re looking at the misogyny and the racism and the fear of what it meant to have a Black Asian woman who’s married to a Jewish man sitting in the White House, that this was not the kind of vision of America that that large swath that voted for Trump believe is America. It is the fear of what a multicultural, multiracial, multilingual, diverse America could mean. It means — and so, you’re seeing the backlash to her very being.
(Hat-tip: Instapundit.) The important thing, when confronted by such preposterous accusations, is never to deny them. If such fools have convinced themselves that “white supremacy,” etc., have triumphed at the ballot box — and as of this morning, Donald Trump was leading by a margin of 3.7 million votes — why should we argue with them?
Victory requires no excuse. Winners do not need scapegoats.
Leave the fools in their ignorance. Don’t bother them with facts or logic.

The Wile E. Coyote of Liberal Journalism
Posted on | November 9, 2024 | Comments Off on The Wile E. Coyote of Liberal Journalism

Everybody remembers Wile E. Coyote was a Super Genius, right? That old Looney Tunes character came to mind this week when I read liberal journalist Michael Tomasky’s hot take on the election:
I’ve had a lot of conversations since Tuesday revolving around the question of why Donald Trump won. The economy and inflation. Kamala Harris didn’t do this or that. Sexism and racism. The border. That trans-inmate ad that ran a jillion times. And so on.
These conversations have usually proceeded along lines where people ask incredulously how a majority of voters could have believed this or that. Weren’t they bothered that Trump is a convicted felon? An adjudicated rapist? Didn’t his invocation of violence against Liz Cheney, or 50 other examples of his disgusting imprecations, obviously disqualify him? And couldn’t they see that Harris, whatever her shortcomings, was a fundamentally smart, honest, well-meaning person who would show basic respect for the Constitution and wouldn’t do anything weird as president? . . .
(You see the set-up here? Tomasky believes every word of Democratic Party propaganda, every partisan talking point, as do all of his acquaintances, who are “incredulous” that not everyone does.)
The answer is obviously no — not enough people were able to see any of those things. At which point people throw up their hands and say, “I give up.”
But this line of analysis requires that we ask one more question. And it’s the crucial one: Why didn’t a majority of voters see these things? And understanding the answer to that question is how we start to dig out of this tragic mess.
The answer is the right-wing media. . . . .
(Obviously! Why didn’t anyone else think of this? Quick, let me log onto the Acme website and order some rocket skates!)
Today, the right-wing media — Fox News (and the entire News Corp.), Newsmax, One America News Network, the Sinclair network of radio and TV stations and newspapers, iHeart Media (formerly Clear Channel), the Bott Radio Network (Christian radio), Elon Musk’s X, the huge podcasts like Joe Rogan’s, and much more — sets the news agenda in this country. And they fed their audiences a diet of slanted and distorted information that made it possible for Trump to win. . . .
OK, I’m going to stop the italics fisking here, because there’s probably only so much of Tomasky’s implausible bullshit you can handle without giving into the urge to hurl your coffee cup across the room.
It’s like he’s demanding a place in the Not-Getting-It Hall of Fame.
Who is it that has “fed their audiences a diet of slanted and distorted information”? Is it really Fox News, Newsmax, Joe Rogan, et al.? If it were so, were there are no other media outlets to which people might turn to seek information that was not “slanted and distorted”?

Coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign by major national broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) was the most biased against Republicans since the Media Research Center began keeping track. Campaign coverage by the three networks was 78% positive for Kamala Harris and 85% negative for Donald Trump. In essence, network “news” coverage was a massive in-kind contribution to the Democratic Party. This bias has prevailed for decades in the major media, despite every effort by conservatives to call attention to the problem, to expose errors in reporting (e.g., “RatherGate”) and to counter-balance this bias.
In fact, I consider it inarguable that liberal bias in the media has actually gotten worse in the past 30 years. It seems that the success of Fox News has caused major media to become even more liberal, to the point of just blatant partisanship on behalf of Democrats. Much of the media’s “reporting” is indistinguishable from DNC press releases. It is this leftward shift of media coverage that has created an audience of people eager to find reporting and commentary that doesn’t conform to the DNC-approved Official Truth™ formula provided by major media.
Tomasky bemoans the influence of “right-wing media” without once acknowledging the reason for the existence of such a phenomenon. His obsession with “right-wing media” is a sort of conspiracy theory, as if there were some secretive cabal of GOP operatives compelling people to watch Fox News or listen to conservative podcasters, when in fact what is happening is that news consumers are “voting with their feet,” so to speak, by deserting liberal-dominated media in favor of alternatives. Tomasky is not so stupid that he can’t understand what’s happening, but he refuses to acknowledge that consumer choice — the ability of free people to exercise their own independent judgment — is the real secret of the success of “right-wing media.” And now, if you’ll put you coffee cups safely out of reach, I’ll get to the part of Tomasky’s column where he suggests action to solve the problem:
If you read me regularly, you know that I’ve written this before, but I’m going to keep writing it until people — specifically, rich liberals, who are the only people in the world who have the power to do something about this state of affairs — take some action. . . .
This is the year in which it became obvious that the right-wing media has more power than the mainstream media. It’s not just that it’s bigger. It’s that it speaks with one voice, and that voice says Democrats and liberals are treasonous elitists who hate you, and Republicans and conservatives love God and country and are your last line of defense against your son coming home from school your daughter.
And that is why Donald Trump won. Indeed, the right-wing media is why he exists in our political lives in the first place. . . .
This is a crisis. The Democratic brand is garbage in wide swaths of the country, and this is the reason. . . .
The reason? The right-wing media. And it’s only growing and growing. And I haven’t even gotten to social media and Tik Tok and the other platforms from which far more people are getting their news these days. The right is way ahead on those fronts too. Liberals must wake up and understand this and do something about it before it’s too late, which it almost is.
So “rich liberals” must “do something” to counteract “the right-wing media” which is exclusively responsible for Donald Trump’s existence.
Paranoid much, sir? Well, there is a certain amount of truth to what Tomasky says because it was our late friend Andrew Breitbart who, in 2011, got the idea of inviting Donald Trump to CPAC. Breitbart had become famous during the 2009-2010 Tea Party years and it was his idea that someone like Trump — an outsider, a celebrity, a wealthy business tycoon who wasn’t beholden to the Republcan establishment — might be the best person to lead such a populist uprising. Sadly, Breitbart died before his prescient instinct could be vindicated by events, but it was certainly no accident that Steve Bannon, a founding member of the board of Breitbart News, became a top adviser to Trump. From the first time I met Andrew Breitbart, at CPAC 2007, I recognized him as a superior mind, someone with deep insight into how the media created what he always referred to as The Narrative. I can still hear Andrew saying that word with a sinister tone: “Their precious narrative.”
The spirit of Breitbart lives on, and many people who perhaps never had the opportunity to meet him are still carrying on Andrew’s legacy. Look at the work that Eric Abbenante did this election cycle:
In this episode Carville talked about the race to define Kamala Harris. Whoever defined Kamala Harris first would win the election.
He was 100% correct. Unfortunately for him, we defined Kamala Harris before they could https://t.co/VulZzhaTk3— Eric Abbenante (@EricAbbenante) November 8, 2024
We showed you inept Kamala is, especially in areas like science, technology and math:https://t.co/rKA8oCNlhs
— Eric Abbenante (@EricAbbenante) November 9, 2024
Eric gives big props to Maze Moore, by the way. It was a team effort that helped inform America about who Kamala Harris actually is, during those weeks when the media were hyping up the “joy” of her campaign.
Much of the most useful work done by “right-wing media” is not done by Fox News or any other corporate entity, but by individuals using social media — independently, often with no compensation except what they might get from Patreon or PayPal tips — and there is simply no way for Democrats to counteract this effectively, except through censorship, which was what they were doing on Twitter before Elon Musk bought it. There’s still censorship on Facebook and YouTube, but so long as there is any space online where people are free to spread the truth, falsehood can never prevail. This is what’s driven Michael Tomasky into a fit of helpless depression and impotent rage toward “right-wing media.” The truth is that Kamala Harris was a very bad candidate, running on a very bad agenda. It’s not surprising she lost, and also not surprising that most Americans rejected the idiotic “Trump is Hitler” nonsense that was Kamala’s last-ditch argument in her doomed campaign.
Michael Tomasky represents the Wile E. Coyote tendency of all liberal journalists, who predictably are always shocked when that anvil they bought from Acme comes crashing down atop their own heads.
