California Democrats: Why Do They Hate Women and Black People So Much?

Posted on | March 6, 2024 | 3 Comments

Perhaps readers will recall the identity-politics argument Democrats offered during the Obama era: “Vote for us, or you’re racist!” Then in 2016, with Hillary Clinton as their candidate, the Democrats’ argument became, “Vote for us or you’re sexist!” But now we look at the California Senate primary, where both progressive “rising star” Katie Porter and long-term congresswoman Barbara Lee were on the ballot, and instead, California Democrats chose white male Adam Schiff. NBC News:

Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and Republican Steve Garvey will advance to the general election in the hotly contested California Senate race, NBC News projects.
That means Democratic Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee, who also ran for the seat, will be shut out of the general election. The progressives will also vacate their House seats at the end of the term.
Under California’s rules, the top two vote-getters advance to the general election regardless of party affiliation.
In the final stretch of the race, the battle grew ugly between Schiff and Porter, the top-polling Democrats in the race. Schiff cultivated his national profile by battling former President Donald Trump as the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. Porter, a populist who flipped a former GOP-held district in 2018, ran on a platform of taking on corporate power and addressing working class economic needs like the cost of child care.
Schiff, who led in many polls in the run-up to the contest, has sought to lock out Porter by running ads elevating Garvey in the hope that he will be his opponent in the fall. Schiff’s Democrats are favored to win the general election in the solidly blue state.
By facing Garvey, Schiff will avoid a contentious and expensive intraparty fight this fall. Garvey has run a bare-bones campaign.

In fact, Garvey barely campaigned at all. He’s a famous former baseball star of the Los Angeles Dodgers and if, somehow between now and November, California voters decide to kick their addiction to electing Democrats, Garvey would be a non-controversial alternative.

Meanwhile, the question remains, why have Democrats suddenly abandoned the identity-politics formula that they used as a weapon to attack Republicans? If, given the choice, Democrats in California prefer the white male Schiff over the black female Barbara Lee by more than a four-to-one margin, what does that tell us? I’d say it tells us Democrats are a bunch of lying hypocrites. But we already knew that.

CNN Suffers Psychiatric Crisis After Unanimous Supreme Court Slaps Down Colorado’s Election-Rigging Scheme

Posted on | March 4, 2024 | 2 Comments

Watching CNN (so you don’t have to) is usually a chore for me, but today it was unusually pleasant to witness the anguish as Jim Acosta, Dana Bash and their panelists bemoaned the unanimous Supreme Court ruling that struck down the effort by Colorado Democrats to ban Donald Trump from the ballot in that state. Roger Kimball with the news:

The bottom line? “The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand.” The cherry on top: it was a unanimous decision. “All nine Members of the Court agree with that result.” Ergo: “The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court is reversed,” quod erat faciendum, or, in the words of the document, It is so ordered.
Of course, it was always absurd that the anti-Trump brigade should pretend to save democracy by keeping Trump off the ballot because otherwise the people might vote for him. It was just another example of the malodorous fact that, for these people, “democracy” means “rule by Democrats,” not rule of the people.

(Hat-tip: Ed Driscoll at Instapundit.) This was predictable, of course, but the fact that the outcome was easily foreseen did not soften the trauma suffered by CNN’s talking heads. Ever since the ruling came down, they’ve been doing talk-therapy sessions disguised as “news analysis.”

CNN’s Jim Acosta bemoans the Supreme Court ruling Congress has the power to determine if a candidate is eligible to be on the ballot.

“There are members of Congress who are never going to do anything to make life difficult for Donald Trump.” pic.twitter.com/6U3kuYChsq

— Media Research Center (@theMRC) March 4, 2024

To summarize: “We have to rig the election by keeping the Republican nominee off the ballot because otherwise, ‘democracy’ will be endangered.” Or words to that effect — they engage in a lot of tendentious rhetoric about Trump being guilty of “insurrection” to conceal their actual meaning. Truly, they are “fake news.” Never have their roles as “Democratic Operatives With Bylines” been more obvious.

But y’all can add your own two cents to the verdict, and I will merely remind you of the Five Most Important Words in the English Language:

‘If You Experience an Erection Lasting More Than Four Hours …’

Posted on | March 2, 2024 | Comments Off on ‘If You Experience an Erection Lasting More Than Four Hours …’

. . . blame the latest New York Times poll:

Are you pumped, or what? There hasn’t been this much sorrow among Democrats since Hillary Clinton cratered in 2016:

“It’s going to be a very tough decision — I’m seriously thinking about not voting,” said Mamta Misra, 57, a Democrat and an economics professor in Lafayette, La., who voted for Mr. Biden in 2020. “Trump voters are going to come out no matter what. For Democrats, it’s going to be bad. I don’t know why they’re not thinking of someone else.” . . .
An excitement gap between the two parties shows up repeatedly in the survey: Only 23 percent of Democratic primary voters said they were enthusiastic about Mr. Biden — half the share of Republicans who said they were about Mr. Trump. Significantly more Democrats said they were either dissatisfied or angry at Mr. Biden being the leader of the party (32 percent) than Republicans who said the same about Mr. Trump (18 percent).

Whisper sweet nothings in my ear, New York Times!

Whenever I see polls like this, I have to wonder, who are the 43% who think America needs another four years of Joe Biden? Are they just sadists, who take pleasure in ruining life for everybody else? But such mysteries can’t spoil my joy at seeing the New York Times admit that Biden is losing by a 5-point margin. And speaking of joyful news:

CNN Appears on the Verge
of an Epic Collapse

There’s talk that the last-place cable-news network may decide to fire its top anchors. Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Jake Tapper — fired! fired! fired! Wait a minute, what is this sudden spasm I’m feeling?

Ah . . . was it good for you? After all that excitement, it’s time to remind you of the Five Most Important Words in the English Language:
