When Democrats Say ‘Our Children’

Posted on | November 4, 2021 | Comments Off on When Democrats Say ‘Our Children’

Never trust a Democrat, especially when they start speaking in first-person plural pronouns, e.g., Joe Biden on Wednesday:

“Vaccinating our children will help us keep our schools open — keep our kids in the classroom, learning and socializing with their classmates and teachers. I think every reporter in this room who has a child understands the difference of a child going to school and having to learn from home. It matters. It matters in terms of their not just physical health, their mental health.”

Joe Biden does not care about your children. If it were up to him, your children would have been aborted before they were born — and this would have been paid for with “our” taxpayer dollars.

As for his kids, Hunter Biden never set foot in a public school. Joe Biden’s son attended Archmere Academy, then went to Georgetown University before getting his law degree at Yale. Joe Biden, who has been a full-time politician since 1971, made sure that his children were exempt from the policies he and his Democrat buddies impose on other people’s children.

Joe Biden hates you. He hates your children, too. Why? Beceause Joe Biden is a Democrat and Democrats hate America.

That’s why they are doing all they can to destroy our country.

‘These Republicans Are Dangerous’ and Other Stupid Media Election Reactions

Posted on | November 3, 2021 | Comments Off on ‘These Republicans Are Dangerous’ and Other Stupid Media Election Reactions

It’s official — everybody is now Hitler, or at least the 1.7 million or so Virginians who voted for Glenn Youngkin are “white supremacists,” according to the trauma-induced reactions of the liberal media, who responded to Tuesday’s results with predictable insanity.

Scarcely had the polls closed in Virginia when MSNBC’s Joy Reid uncorked this hysterical rant about RAAAAACIST Republicans:

[Democrats] have to be willing to vocalize that these Republicans are dangerous. That this isn’t a party that’s just another political party that disagrees with us on tax policy. That, at this point, they’re dangerous. They’re dangerous to our national security, because stoking that kind of soft white nationalism eventually leads to the hard-core stuff. It leads to the January 6th stuff, because if people are tolerant of it in your party, they’re tolerant of the soft racism, it’s a really short trip to get to the January 6th insurrectionist play.

Do these people even listen to what they’re saying? Are they capable of stepping back and evaluating their own overwrought feelings?

Keep in mind: Joy Reid is employed as a journalist — a profession whose practitioners once prided themselves on their objectivity. Yet here is Joy Reid, on national television, claiming that the Republican Party, as exemplified by Glenn Youngkin, is “dangerous to our national security.”

Youngkin is a former college basketball player who became a multimillionaire in the investment business. The idea that he, and the 1.7 million Virginians who voted for him, are national security threats is preposterous, and yet you watch this MSNBC video and all Joy Reid’s fellow panelists were nodding in agreement. Why? Because their Trump Derangement Syndrome is incurable, and they’ve spent the past 10 months inside an echo chamber where everyone is in the throes of this madness, ranting about the “insurrection” — that is to say, a bunch of angry GOP voters wandering around the Capitol taking selfies for their Instagram pages — as “an assault on our democracy,” a national crisis comparable to 9/11, Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Gettysburg.

Reid’s MSNBC colleague Nicolle Wallace — an operative of the Bush dynasty — claimed that the chief issue of the election didn’t even exist, that Critical Race Theory isn’t taught in Virginia schools:

Did I mention, by the way, that Fox News had more Election Night viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined? And this is part of the problem — inside the media echo chamber, where everybody believes these things, they have zero awareness of how small their audience actually is. They went into Tuesday night thinking that everyone shared their anti-Trump rage and their indignation about the Jan. 6 “insurrection,” and it was a shock to them to discover otherwise. The only way they can resolve the resulting cognitive dissonance is by telling themselves that these voters are dimwits who’ve been brainwashed with “misinformation” by the dreaded “right-wing media.”

By Wednesday morning, when I got up and switched the TV to CNN, the message-coordination memo from the White House had apparently arrived, and everyone was singing in unison from the same hymnal: The reason Democrats lost, according to the new narrative, is because Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema prevented passage of “Build Back Better.” What the American people want, said the CNN commentators, is for Congress to Get Things Done, i.e., to pass whatever multi-trillion-dollar boondoggle the Democrats can ram through on a party-line vote.

The next few months are going to be the kind of Interesting Times that the ancient orientals wished upon their enemies.

Virginia: ‘Too Close to Call’? BREAKING UPDATE: Youngkin Wins!

Posted on | November 2, 2021 | Comments Off on Virginia: ‘Too Close to Call’? BREAKING UPDATE: Youngkin Wins!

UPDATE 12:55 a.m. ET Wednesday: Glenn Youngkin wins Virginia!

*** PREVIOUSLY (7:14 p.m. ET) ***

Tonight I’m watching CNN (so you don’t have to) and they’re trying to sell the Virginia gubernatorial election as a “toss-up,” but they just reported their own exit-poll results which look very bad for Democrat Terry McAuliffe. We shall see what happens.

UPDATE 7:40 p.m.: Official totals as of 7:30 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 168,239 (55.93%)
McAuliffe ……. 130,337 (43.33%)

With about 12% of precincts reporting, this is good news.

UPDATE 8 p.m. ET: Official totals as of 7:50 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 457,620 (58.34%)
McAuliffe ……. 321,315 (40.96%)

About 31% of precincts reporting, and this is even better news, because Youngkin’s lead appears to be widening as the evening goes on.

UPDATE 8:10 p.m. ET: Official totals as of 8 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 608,574 (57.02%)
McAuliffe ……. 451,192 (42.27%)

About 40% of precincts now reporting, and it continues to look encouraging for Youngkin. CNN’s John King was just pointing out higher-than-usual turnout in some rural “red” counties. Fingers crossed.

UPDATE 8:15 p.m. ET: Official totals as of 8:10 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 709,999 (57.04%)
McAuliffe ……. 525,854 (42.24%)

About 46% of precincts now reporting. It is expected there will be about 3 million votes cast in Virginia, and we still have less than half the vote, so we can be cautiously optimistic, with the emphasis on “cautiously.” The final vote is probably going to be very close.

UPDATE 8:30 p.m. ET: Official totals as of 8:20 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 794,650 (56.88%)
McAuliffe ……. 592,389 (42.40%)

About 52% of precincts now reporting. Still looking good, but remember that if there will be about 3 million total votes, the winner will have to get at least 1.5 million, so there’s a long way to go.

UPDATE 9 p.m. ET: Official totals as of 8:50 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 1,071,663 (54.93%)
McAuliffe ……. 865,345 (44.36%)

About 68% of precincts now reporting. Again, to point out the simple math, if we estimate a final vote total around 3 million, McAuliffe would have to get nearly 70% of the remaining votes to win. Which is theoretically possible, of course, if Democrats resort to the usual tricks of dumping in truckloads of “extra” ballots at 3 a.m.

UPDATE 9:25 p.m. ET: I’ve switched the TV to MSNBC, where Nicolle Wallace is on the verge of tears. Official totals as of 9:20 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 1,246,500 (54.21%)
McAuliffe ……. 1,036,170 (45.06%)

About 78% of precincts now reporting. Strong turnout in rural Virginia, plus “flipping” a few key suburban areas, appears to have yielded a victory for (alleged right-wing Donald Trump puppet) Glenn Youngkin.

UPDATE 9:30 p.m. ET: If my arithmetic is correct, and the estimate of about 3 million total votes in Virginia is also correct, then Youngkin only needs to get about 35% of the remaining vote to win.

UPDATE 9:35 p.m. ET: The meltdown on MSNBC is hysterical. Watch Nicolle Wallace go on about “The Big Lie” and the “deadly insurrection” of January 6, as if ordinary voters in Roanoke and Newport News are as obsessed with that as the people in the liberal media echo chamber:

Nicolle’s in the Guyana jungle, drinking the Kool-Aid.

UPDATE 11:10 p.m. ET: Official totals as of 11 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 1,545,345 (51.27%)
McAuliffe ……. 1,444,933 (47.94%)

About 92% of precincts now reporting. Everybody knows Youngkin has won, but the networks continue the “too close to call” charade.

(Hat-tip: Instapundit.) Every liberal on Twitter is now whining about Critical Race Theory and “racist” white voters.

UPDATE 11:35 p.m. ET: Official totals as of 11:30 p.m. ET:

Youngkin …….. 1,567,817 (51.16%)
McAuliffe ……. 1,472,945 (48.06%)

About 94% of precincts now reporting. Probably going to be tomorrow before the networks finally admit Youngkin won Virginia.

Oh, by the way, some Republican you never heard of before is currently leading Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy in New Jersey.

Mayor Frogface Update

Posted on | November 2, 2021 | Comments Off on Mayor Frogface Update

I don’t want to be accused of discrimination or prejudice against the Amphibian-American community. Exactly how frog DNA got into Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s chromosomal sequence, I don’t know — maybe an early Chinese Communist biological warfare experiment gone awry, kind of like what happened with bat DNA in the Wuhan lab. And since we’re on the topic of the Chinese disease:

A Cook County judge on Monday suspended the city of Chicago’s policy requiring that all of its police officers be vaccinated against COVID-19 by the end of the year.
The ruling is a major victory for police unions, who have held that the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate violates their collective bargaining agreements. Judge Raymond Mitchell ruled Monday that the mandate should be halted for police officers until those complaints can be settled in arbitration.
Mitchell’s ruling does not impact other city workers, or other parts of the policy. That means city employees who are not represented by any of the four police unions will still have to be vaccinated by Dec. 31, 2021. And all police officers are still required to report their vaccination status and get tested twice a week if they’re not vaccinated. . . .
John Catanzara, the head of the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police, has vocally opposed the requirement that all workers share whether or not they are vaccinated against COVID-19, calling it an invasion of privacy and a violation of the police contract.
Catanzara repeatedly called for officers to “hold the line” and refuse to share their vaccination status with the city.

(Hat-tip: Don Surber.) More from Breitbart:

Lightfoot said the judge’s ruling actually validates her mandate; the ruling comes after U.S. District Judge John Lee “denied a temporary restraining order requested by more than 100 Chicago city workers, including firefighters,” reported ABC.
“If you look at what’s happening in court cases all across the country, whether it’s fire and police or others that are challenging these mandates, I’m not aware of a single instance in which a mandate put in place has been invalidated,” Lightfoot said on Monday. . . .
Mayor Lori Lightfoot has accused the unvaccinated of “playing Russian roulette” with their lives and the lives in their community . . .
Law enforcement officials across the country have warned that city vaccine mandates could lead to a shortage of officers, prolonging emergency response times, and increasing city crime.

Mayor Frogface doesn’t care about human lives. Because she’s an amphibian, and you know they’re cold-blooded, right?

It’s On You, Virginia

Posted on | November 2, 2021 | Comments Off on It’s On You, Virginia

Virginians today have the power to end Terry McAuliffe’s political career. A Washington Post reporter writes the pre-obituary:

NORFOLK, Va. — Eutopia Hall didn’t realize she had neglected to sign the bottom of her mail-in ballot for governor until the county board of elections returned the document to her, asking her to complete it. But as she sat looking at the paper, she wondered if it was even worth a second trip to the mailbox.
So little had changed since she cast a ballot for Joe Biden in 2020, she said, that “I started to not even press the issue.” Her job and community were still mired in pandemic restrictions. An increase in the child tax credit had brought a few more dollars into her home, but it was eaten up by costlier prices for gas and food and seemingly everything else, and a year after high hopes of significant change in her family’s situation, things seemed stagnant.
“I don’t think a lot of people have a lot of faith in Biden, like they were expecting at first,” said Hall, a 42-year-old nursing assistant. “I think it’s more of a bigger division than it was before. I thought it was gonna get better once the vaccines came out because there was so many people complaining about covid and wanting a cure, but then they came out with a vaccine nobody wants to take. Nothing has changed and we’re just stuck in the same place.”
A year ago, Biden won Virginia by 10 percentage points, riding a wave of antipathy toward President Donald Trump to place the commonwealth solidly into the Democratic column. But with the eyes of the political world back on Virginia for statewide elections on Tuesday, Biden’s sinking popularity has emerged as a key factor dragging down hopes of another party victory and making the state look, once again, more like a battleground than a Democratic stronghold.
A new Washington Post-Schar School poll of likely Virginia voters, which found Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin in a toss-up race for governor, found that 53 percent disapprove of Biden’s job performance, while 46 percent approve.
Regardless of the final outcome Tuesday, the tight race in what many had believed to be a safe blue state underscores the extent to which Americans hold souring views of Biden looms over his party ahead of next year’s congressional midterms and the 2024 presidential election.
Interviews with nearly two dozen voters in this southeast Virginia region about three hours’ drive from D.C. found a profound sense of frustration that people haven’t seen benefits of Democratic control trickle into their lives or their wallets.
Tia Scott, of Norfolk, said her family has been pinched by rising prices everywhere, even as it gets harder to find a job that makes ends meet.
“The cost of living has been high, the cost of food is going up, and gas prices too, and jobs are still laying off people, saying it’s about covid,” said Scott, a 35-year-old customer service representative and mother of three girls. “I voted for Biden. Really, I was going to vote for anybody but Trump. But it seems like it was all talk. Now I see all the ads were just ads. Just because you say you can do all that stuff on an ad doesn’t mean you can do it.”
Particularly troubling, some said, is that nearly a year after a coronavirus vaccine was approved, mitigation efforts and covid restrictions remain a part of everyday life, the economy doesn’t seem to be working for the most vulnerable, and intraparty infighting has stalled progress promised by Biden and the Democrats.

The naïveté is remarkable. These people were apparently so full of Trump hatred that it never occurred to them to question Biden’s competence, or examine his campaign promises soberly. And notice that Eutopia Hall, who I presume to be African-American, says “they came out with a vaccine nobody wants to take,” which is an interesting assertion, coming as it does from someone employed in the healthcare field. The media keep pretending that Republicans are to blame for “vaccine resistance.”

McAuliffe concludes his campaign with lies:

“Guess how Glenn Youngkin is finishing his campaign?” McAuliffe told a modest crowd outside a Fairfax brewery Monday night at his final rally. “He is doing an event with Donald Trump here in Virginia.”
That was a lie. Trump wasn’t in Virginia and he never campaigned with Youngkin, though he did make the case for the GOP candidate — “fantastic guy!” — during a brief “tele-rally.”
Thirty miles away, at the Loudoun County Fairgrounds, a crowd several times the size of McAuliffe’s was waiting for Youngkin to take the stage. You got a hint of why McAuliffe was desperate to manufacture the fake Trump event. While McAuliffe has boundless energy — “Sleep when you’re dead!” he likes to say — his Monday audiences in Richmond and Fairfax, where we caught up with him, were modest and listless.
Youngkin’s were large and rollicking, with many of the trappings of a MAGA rally — a similar dad rock playlist, hats and flags and T-shirts paying homage to the former president — but, to the great disappointment of Democrats, not Trump himself. . . .
McAuliffe’s final message was almost entirely negative, focused on tying his opponent to Trump.

That is quite literally all they’ve got now — “Trump! Trump! Trump!”

Maybe getting walloped in Virginia will fix that problem for them.
