Sweep Should Unnerve Republicans Everywhere

There are only a handful of counties in this country that can authentically claim their voting habits are bona fide bellwethers for elections in battleground states. Bucks County, a suburb near Philadelphia, is one of them. Advertisement What makes it so is the political diversity of voters that is split up into three distinct geographical patches: Lower Bucks, Central Bucks and Upper Bucks. Lower Bucks has always been filled with working-class voters, traditional New Deal Democrats and many Catholics who migrated here out of Philadelphia to bedroom communities in the 1950s and stayed along with their children and grandchildren.

Comments:

It's been my experience that the majority of voters for school board elections are teachers, administrators, and their friends and neighbors who do it as a favor. Most don't know the district's policies and curriculum.

We would love to believe that our voting will move the Left rightward - at least in behavior. How naive! That was exactly the same hope that preceded the American Revolution when Franklin carried a petition to King George - it failed and war was required. I truly believe that nothing will change until parents use their 2nd Amendment rights and address school evil head on. These education-types may be politically strong but they are cowards otherwise. I have the same belief as to doctors and hospitals regarding forced toxic vaccinations and gender 'care'. If we don't stand up for our rights then we don't really stand for anything.

Puppet strings. This is the “Republicans are doomed narrative.” They may be doomed, but not because of a county board election in a state famous for vote fraud.

Republicans don't need to unnerved. Bucks county is generally populated by college educated fairly wealthy people. The kind of people that for the most part think Biteme is doing a good job in if they can't name a single thing that is better. More likely or not, they are fine with the green new deal and don't mind paying close to five dollars a gallon for gas for their high five figure SUV's.

Bucks stole the 2020 election from Pennsylvania republicans and it was most certainly not the first one. They have it down to a science.

Reading the 'extract' -not the whole article- my mind jumped back to an old Jimmy Stewart movie, 'Magic Town', where he discovered that the town had long polled in a way that exactly mirrored national polls. Then the word gets out, and things go crazy. That's all I remember

This is the shocking moment a group of brazen thieves looted an Amazon delivery truck while the helpless driver looked on. A group of approximately six thieves that looked to be young boys raided a large walk-in delivery truck after the driver left the door wide open. They frantically grabbed boxes as the female driver watched from a nearby sidewalk and did nothing. She appeared to be fed up with the robbers that snuck up on her while she delivered other packages in an apartment complex that is believed to be in Atlanta, Georgia. It is unclear exactly what was stolen from the truck and who the thieves were.

KLAS reported that Lewis was beaten on November 1, 2023, and died on November 7. The New York Post quoted Lewis’s father saying, “One of his smaller friends had something stolen by this group of 15, and they threw the small boy in the trash can, and our son confronted them and he was attacked.” Responding officers found Lewis on the ground, “bleeding from his head” following the attack. and over again during the attack:

As it happens, my office overlooks the main drag of Kansas City’s counterculture/ homeless hub. On one lonely day during the weird COVID spring of 2020, I heard screaming out on the street, not unusual here, but when it persisted, I went down to check it out. What I saw wasn’t pretty. A white male Kansas City police officer was kneeling on the neck of a woman. My first thought? “Thank God she’s white.” The woman was large and rambunctious. Using just a well-applied knee, the officer managed to hold her in place for at least ten minutes until back-up arrived. The arriving cops slipped a Hannibal-the-Cannibal mask

Five members of the NYPD’s elite Bomb Squad are suing the city for $75 million, claiming their careers were ended by the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The officers, all with decades of experience, said they’ve lost out on a “full pension, with annual interest, and health benefits” after they were fired in 2022 for refusing to get the jab. /snip/ The mandate was blasted by workers who said it was unfair, and it’s been the subject of numerous lawsuits. About 1,780 workers were fired for refusing to get vaccinated. The Bomb Squad officers “paid a heavy price for refusing compulsory vaccination, while every other unvaccinated person paid no price at all,”

Muslim Democrats Andre Carson, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar say they are “horrified” by GOP plans that would halt Palestinian legal immigration to the United States. This week, Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) and other House Republicans introduced legislation to ban the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from providing green cards, visas, refugee status, and parole to Palestinians. Zinke’s legislation also would revoke visas for Palestinians in the United States, thus making them eligible for deportation. “This legislation keeps America safe,” Zinke said of the legislation. “I don’t trust the Biden Administration any more than I do the Palestinian Authority to screen who is allowed to come into the United States.”

It will never cease to amaze me that Democrats continue believing they can insult or shame people into supporting their politicians. It’s as if they believe if they call you “racist” or “sexist” enough times, you will finally throw up your hands and say, “Well, maybe Democrats aren’t so bad, after all.” Advertisement This is the tactic that was in full play when failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams went on MSNBC to tell host Jen Psaki and the network’s white progressive audience that people don’t have a favorable opinion of Vice President Kamala Harris because the nation despises black women.

Instead of moving forward and returning to normalcy, health officials double down on precautionary measures to “limit the spread of RSV, the flu and COVID.” This month, Santa Clara County decided that everyone — patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers alike — must don the all-too-familiar face masks in public patient care areas in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities. This directive is not for a week or a month but for the entire “winter respiratory virus period,” Mercury News reported. This mandate is slated to span from November 1 to the end of March. That’s a whole five months of mask-wearing, in spite of declining COVID cases.

An initial investigation into a massive fire at a homeless encampment beneath an underpass in downtown Los Angeles that shut down the Interstate 10 indefinitely has already determined arson was responsible. Downtown workers have since been told to stay home and telecommute or use public transport in lieu of getting into their cars with delays forecast to spike everywhere across the heavily car-dependent metropolis. California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday, “This fire occurred within the fence line … that it was arson and that it was done and set intentionally.” UPI reports detectives with CalFire are still working to determine who set the blaze which has closed the essential piece of infrastructure.

Pop star Pink says she will be giving away 2,000 banned books at two of her South Florida concerts this week in order to draw attention to the recent wave of censorship laws that impact American schools and libraries. The musician announced she is teaming up with PEN America to combat what the nonprofit calls a "book-banning crisis across the country." That means fans who attend Pink's Miami and Sunrise, Florida, shows on Tuesday and Wednesday will be given a copy of some of the books that have appeared on PEN America's Index of Banned Books — many of which refer to things like sexuality, gender, race, religion and more.

Some may blame video games, others the music. Some may lay the problem at the feet of years of progressive education and politics, while still others point to the prevalence of social media. Some will point out that the nuclear family has been atomized over the ages through sexual liberation, federal intervention, and feminism. Others will look to conservatives who dithered about taxes while the country rotted from the inside. More than likely, it was all of the above that contributed to the chaos that reigns in the United States. To a certain degree, cops have always faced a certain level of animus.
