The strange death of the Democrats

Original Article

The Democratic party is dying. That may be hard to believe since Democrats control both houses of Congress and won the last presidential election with a record 81 million votes. But the exiguous margins of their hold on the House and Senate, with fewer than 51 percent of the seats in either chamber, tell another story, as does the desperation of their struggle to abolish the filibuster and federalize election law. Those policy aims are of a piece with dreams of packing the Supreme Court — and packing the Senate too, by admitting tiny Democratic bastions as new states.

Estimates are that Biteme got 68 million votes, not 81 million. The other 16 million votes were fraud., or Trump votes switched to Biteme. It's why there was such a frantic effort during election day and the weeks to follow by the demosluts to create more votes for Biteme. The communists didn't think they would need that many fake votes, so there was an all out effort to create votes, and subtract votes from Trump to get a Biteme win.

Let's take this at face value...the demographics are working against the Democrats, but who sees them working in favor of the Republicans? Certainly the GOPe doesn't, which is why they back many of these liberal schemes. We all know the usual suspects. The GOPe plays the big tent and regularly turns on its "base", which is looking more like a band of useful idiots in supporting this apparent branch of the UNIPARTY. When the author writes, "Republicans have a long way to go before making any progress in the cities, of course, even as the cities bleed." one should note that this bleeding is into the suburbs and exurbs of those cities, where these well-enough-off liberals impose their social nonsense seeking the Utopia the cities failed to create. Like communists/socialists, "mistakes were made" last time. Until conservatives take seriously local politics, especially school boards, and begin to understand pop culture's impact on political activity, they are going to continue to sink. Electoral politics has nothing to do with what the candidate believes; it's what you believe the candidate believes.

That's why they're importing voters as fast as they can, and tightening their grip on the vote-counting apparatus.

133 million (national registered voters) - 74 million (Trump votes) does not nor can not leave 81 million votes. Not even at 100% registered voter participation does the difference calculate to 81 million. It leaves 59 million. That's how many votes Joe Biden got, and that's even allowing for 100% participat5ion (a certain impossibility). 74 million is 55.6% of 133 million, the percentage which would reflect legitimate polling numbers going into the election.

Our streets are now so unsafe that it might be helpful to rewatch Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry films. They can remind us of an earlier period in the 1960s and 1970s when crime was widespread, liberal judges were putting criminals back on the streets and the entire justice system was anti-cop and pro-criminal.In the middle of a wave of violence that left everyday Americans feeling both threatened and vulnerable, along came a series of movies that captured the desire for law and order.The first and most famous of these was 1971's Dirty Harry, starring Eastwood as Inspector Harry Callahan of San Francisco.

The law has spoken. On Tuesday, a jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty on counts of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and the second-degree manslaughter of George Floyd. After weeks of lawmakers and commentators chiming in and expressing a desire for Chauvin to be convicted, this wish has finally been granted, barring a retrial. Yet the jury’s decision will not be enough for the left. It never was meant to be. To Democrats, Chauvin represents a systemic racism woven into the fabric of the United States — white supremacy that can only be quelled by restructuring the entire American system.

Recent events have rendered it all too obvious that the politicians and bureaucrats charged with overseeing the nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic are determined to use it as a pretext to restrict our civil liberties indefinitely. They refuse to provide coherent answers to simple questions about their plan for returning the country to normal and insist that Americans adhere to mitigation strategies that have been shown to be ineffective in practice and inconsistent with basic science, while colluding with news outlets and social media platforms to censor respected scientists and physicians whose research conflicts with the pseudoscientific nonsense that constitutes the administration’s pandemic policy.

Over the past year of COVID, there’s been a recurring news narrative of “experts surprised their predictions were off the mark.” It’s happened on almost every major policy issue – from masks to lockdowns to surface cleaning – and the margins of error are often vast. The CDC or some government body told us with certainty that something was true concerning COVID, and we had to obey. But then the data comes out, and the people yelling about “the science” were totally wrong… Yet somehow we’re supposed to ignore the abysmal track record of these experts and listen to whatever their next proclamation of “the science!” may be,

The sound and fury with which the Democrats, the legacy media, and virtue-signaling CEOs greeted Georgia’s new election integrity statute has inevitably included portentous accusations of voter suppression. Peach State Republicans, we are told, are part of a multi-state GOP conspiracy to disfranchise minority voters by restricting ballot access. The plot involves such horrors as requiring everyone to provide identification when they vote and compelling them to cast ballots in their own precincts. Combined with such outrages as fixed time frames for returning mail-in votes, coherent rules for securing ballot drop boxes, and removal of dead people from voter rolls, these laws allegedly portend the return of Jim Crow.

We all know that we are living in revolutionary times. The origins, ascendence, values, laws, and future of the United States are all under assault by self-described, though accurately described, revolutionaries. It is a Jacobin, Bolshevik, or Maoist moment. All aspects of life, well beyond politics, are now to be ideologically conditioned. Everything from kindergarten messaging, cartoons, workplace reeducation, and television commercials to college admissions, baseball games, and the airlines are to be “fundamentally transformed” along racial lines.

When the inevitable assessments of President Biden’s first 100 days in office begin to appear, his precipitous actions pursuant to illegal immigration at the southern border will be judged by most honest observers to have been his worst blunder. That is certainly the perspective of the majority of Americans, according to three recent public opinion surveys. An NPR/Marist poll, for example, found that 53 percent of respondents disapproved of Biden’s handling of immigration. An ABC News/Ipsos poll found that 57 percent were dissatisfied with his management of the situation, particularly as it affects unaccompanied minors. An AP/NORC poll found that 55 percent were unhappy with Biden’s performance on border security.

We thought it was a breakthrough of sorts when President Joe Biden finally threw in the towel and admitted he had created a “crisis” on the nation’s border. Alas, just one day later, the White House issued a “clarification.” He was really just talking about Central America, not the border. So it’s now official: Biden is the worst president for protecting our border ever. We don’t take that charge lightly.

Many Christians are feeling frustrated with the Biden administration. A recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal points to how Joe Biden’s flip-flop on refugees is frustrating evangelicals who foolishly voted for him last November. As the Journal contributor noted, they have a reason to feel betrayed.  Believers who care about values, life, and religious liberty continue to find that the new administration has let them down time and time again. While Biden may attend Mass regularly, many of his policy positions raise questions of how diligently he practices his Catholic faith outside the four walls of his church. CORRECTIONS*

NEW YORK, NY – New Yorkers are reeling from a rash of recent, apparently random, attacks on citizens, leading some to wonder if the “knockout game” is returning. A 47-year-old man suffered a broken jaw in January after being sucker-punched in the face in the Bronx. Police described the attack as a “possible knockout game.” Also in January, Catholic Deacon Frederick Kurr, 74, was sucker-punched as he attempted to swipe his subway card inside a Bronx subway station. Video footage shows a suspect, who had been standing at an adjacent turnstile, punching Kurr in the face. The suspect reportedly told Kurr not to call for help, and he also told his victim:
