Identity Is No Election Bomb Anymore?

by Bullright

I have a question. Have the voting public moved on from the personality contests we’ve seen before? Likeability was all the rage with celebrity elections.

Well, I remember years ago when the argument was that there was not much difference in the various sides, at least to presidential politics. That it was more often a choice of who you liked better, or the personality of the candidate. And who could perform better? In the end, both would be formidable at doing the top job and securing our republic for future posterity. It was almost a given the same objectives held for both, or so people assumed.

However, those tired old arguments no longer seem to hold. It is no longer true that any common interests can be taken for granted on given issues. There are drastic differences between the sides themselves — with Ds and Rs. Not just between the candidates.

You can’t have a bigger difference than a wild idea of open borders verses securing the borders and national security interests. Abandoning a central purpose of government has made a stark difference, at a giant cost. But there are others.

For all the complaints, the era of Trump has laid bare that there are differences, polar opposites, with the agendas of either side. No one has made it clearer. It is not as if he made all those differences up. He did not have to look for contrasts, they are everywhere.

Back to the voters at large. It just seems to me that people have given up on personality contests of old. Or at least put them aside in view of real, serious concerns. Those greater concerns have taken central focus in their votes. They’ve moved on.

You might say that we always had that under our hood — issues are paramount in our process. But were they? People really liked Barack Obama personally, and how did that work out for us?

So now I believe people moved on and were also awakened to the ugly side of government itself. Left to its own devices, there are real worries about government power and the Deep State roots. I don’t believe people across the board are somehow comfortable with an all-powerful government controlling and regulating everything. The pandemic exposed many failures to an out-of-control government. No one can deny what we saw. It was not all conspiracy theories like they told us. We are not crazies anymore.

Next, I think the estrogen vote, as one issue, is played out. Can you vote for someone just because of their gender, their race, ethnicity, sexuality or any identity? That has gotten old and we now have the fallout from the DEI agenda emerging. How’d that work out?

All that is to say the old way of politics and organizing doesn’t seem to hold the same water it once did. People have taken note. But Barry Soetoro went to Pittsburgh to lecture black people for not voting as a bloc the way they did for him, for Kamala. He injected the reason is the “brothers” are not comfortable voting for a woman.

It is condescending and offensive to black people to expect them to vote a certain way. So long as they do that there is no problem. But if they don’t… all hell will break loose. We saw black men voting for Hillary, so how is there a woman problem? Now that Trump has cut into Democrats’ demographic lock on identities, there is a whole lot of anxiety in the DNC. “It shouldn’t be happening, it’s not fair. Folks cannot just leave the plantation to make their own decisions, for their own independent reasons. That’s absurd!”

Maybe Democrats do not own people’s votes the way they assumed? Biden told them “if you do not vote for me, then you ain’t black.” That’s as insulting as Barry telling blacks that particularly “the brothers” are stepping out of line. What Biden and Obama said is the same thing. When you scold people over who they support, and plug in self-serving strawman reasons, then someone has a problem. But it isn’t blacks voting for Trump.

So maybe voting and election politics has really changed. Maybe people have bigger concerns about the state of the country or their own interests? Maybe the old Obama formula no longer works? I don’t need some organizer or union boss telling me what issues I should care about and whom to vote for. This was the second time Obama insulted people in Pennsylvania. Remember how he categorically slurred Pa voters years back? How they cling to guns and religion, and have antipathy for those not like them?

If he only knew more about me, he would know the reason for my vote. But he doesn’t; he only wants to smear my rationale or motives. I don’t need a guy to airdrop in, who cares nothing about my interests, diagnosing why and how I vote. It’s a serious matter. I sure as heck am not voting the way a hack scolds me to vote. Give me real actual reasons to get my vote, but don’t mock me for not conforming to your specious political paradigm.

Stick your rubber stamp where the sun ain’t shining!

So have we really moved past the identity lock of plantation politics, or not? You decide.

Just don’t call them Uncle Toms, or me unrealistic, for wanting a different politics.

 

Well, Obama, who is endorsing the politics of yesteryear now? (See 2014 video) – [the same Soetoro who was in office as ISIS was spawned. His crystal ball is flawed. And since those old ways of politics worked so well for us, right?]

 

We always hear that no one wants to see the ugly process of how the sausage is made. But there is something worse: the good ol’ political paradigm that built the sausage machine.

Location, Location, Location

by Bullright

There are basically a few places to live in the US right now, either in denial or disgust. And there is another optional place called ‘don’t give a shit’ — increasing in population.

I don’t think denial is paradise though. It also takes an enormous amount of work. So the maintenance is paralyzing and there are guards everywhere. Not without problems.

Disgust(ed) is certainly no attractive place, but at least it has some respect for the truth. There is still a place for that. Though if you are looking for comfort, you’ll get none of that here. It tends to have  clouds much of the time.

Don’t give a shit (D’gas) is over-rated and good friends are hard to come by. There are a lot of unknowns in this community. The downfall is you must constantly purge unnecessary opinions, or you could find yourself living over in denial pretty fast.

You might say “now those are not actual places,”  but what is the mind but a space?

So take your pick. But no choice is still a choice.

State of the State

by Bullright

I have been offended by, and posting on, Benghazi for years. Still am, I know that’s old news and well, I’m a dinosaur and some people don’t even remember those details. Guess who was also in office in that tragic scenario? Joe Biden. Who was asked no questions?

But then we had an even worse catastrophic failure called Abby Gate. At least everyone is very familiar with that one. Joe Biden was at the helm of that failure in the pullout from Afghanistan. Sure, now we know advisors did warn him. But you know ol’ stubborn Joe, who cared more about a date than the lives of our courageous military.

So here is a primer question for you. What do these two horrible events have in common — other than Joe Biden? You might have guessed the answer, it is the State Department. The strange thing no one in the media ever mentions is this important point. If you followed Abby Gate, our pullout was basically run by the State.

That’s so offensive to me.  Why would State — with all its posturing and (achem) bureaucratic expertise — be running an important military mission? Who made our military subordinates to State? Who put it in charge, why, and where’s the accountability?

It is nice that Trump says he will fire anyone connected with that failure, about time, but understand much of it all was run by the State — deferred to the nefarious State Dep.

Who thought that was a great idea?

It brings me to ask: what is the state of State? What’s its reputation. Is there ever any accountability at State?  Secretary Pompeo was trying to reorder it under Trump and then came the abrupt end to that in 2020. It has probably rebounded worse than ever by now.

Agencies and departments seem to build on their failures. State Department should be at the top of any reform lists. Though it wouldn’t be willing. They are probably having the time of their life now — like they were under Hillary Clinton, and then John Kerry.

It’s the State, stupid!

Going from one calamitous anniversary to the next — at your service.

Titanic Dream Team

by Bullright

Kamala and Tim are the dream-team headliners for the band on the Titanic. “Joyful,” just feel all the “good vibes.” Tim says: ““Sleep when you’re dead!”

Kamala says: we “work together as we continue to work.” “So, when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do.”

“Unburdened by what has been.”

Obviously the economy is the Titanic and we’re all doomed if this team comes to power, as if everything is not economically bad enough already under Biden/Harris.

Too bad this dynamic duo were not on the Titanic spreading their joy to dispel the woes.

 

Just meme me up, Scotty!

As the band plays on.

Candid Candidate Central

by Bullright

Kamala Harris began her presidential campaign by spending 2 weeks, with the help of media, denying the title of Border Czar. She claims she never ever had such a position.

Harris picks a running mate that starts campaigning by endowing himself with a prestigious military title he never earned. Despite the military experience, he is now losing the meme war. As Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz watched his city burn rather than call in the national guard to save it.

Neither can take any responsibility for their catastrophic results while holding office.

The notorious mayor of South Bend made a name for himself for his inability to fix pot holes. Then dubbed rising star to the radical left, Pete Buttigieg now holds the coveted Secretary of Transportation title.

Joe Biden ran on the goal of saving the soul of America and uniting the country. He’s now writing the epitaph for the soul of a country more divided than ever. He is considered in media to be the greatest president in modern times. While claiming to save democracy, Biden destroyed the democratic process of choosing the candidate, by appointing Kamala Harris to be his replacement before the democratic convention.

“Saving democracy” turns out to be saving the reputation of Democrat-ic politicians.

And for people who are all about Diversity Equity Inclusion (DEI) in everything, calling everybody “weird” is just, well,  _____.

The Indispensable Ordinary Man

by Bullright

I’m just an ordinary man — heavy emphasis on the word just. But I am very comfortable with that, contrary to popular opinion in the country at the present. I’m proud of it. According to mainstream media and other institutions or well-heeled people, their views should inform public opinion — not ours.

This also accounts for Democrats, who always claim to be speaking for the common, ordinary man. “We’ll form and inform your views and opinions so you don’t have to.” That is the arrogance of the political mainstream today, and some of government.

The Metaphor Matters

During the last week many of these things came into the spotlight — or the spotlight found them — which illustrated this predicament quite clearly where it matters.

So only days before the Republican Convention, we know an assassin trained his bullet on Trump at a rally in Butler, Pa. And the location is not without significance either.

Everyone knows the details and there is no sense in repeating those, we know what happened. But in that immediate aftermath all the stories surfaced about problems before the rally. Once again, it was first reported by UK press. Many people pointed out a suspicious man or eventual shooter before the incident — before the rally even started.

They all told the same story of pointing out to authorities a man with a gun and then witnessed the immediate reaction afterward. Local police scrambled around apparently trying to understand and confirm what people said. They did identify the threat but then we know how it all seemed to fall through the fuzzy cracks, like it usually does.

Point being, they did not eliminate the threat in time and/or did not prevent Trump from taking  stage while it was in process. All very unfortunate if not disturbing. There will be countless  investigations and theories on it for  some time. The way it always works.

The metaphor could not be clearer. Normal, everyday, “ordinary” people pointing to significant problems and threats but officials — well-meaning or not — stubbornly failing to respond in real time to take out the threats. Then, excuses or lies flow from there.

So it sure seems all too common to me. For years the indispensable ordinary man, from all walks of life, who alerted the public and authorities to the serious, immediate problems and, one by one in most all cases, the problems continued unrestrained.

It is almost as if government officials want to make certain those ‘ordinary’ concerns are not the subject of their elitist priorities. Actually, more often our concern is transposed into the real problem. People have even been labeled alarmists and conspiracy theorists for simply pointing out major  problems. We are just overreacting in ignorance.

Fortunately our 45th president was not killed but only injured in the field that day. It was awful close. But there were others killed and wounded. So nothing to dismiss about it. However, Trump was undeterred in his reaction both at the scene and later in his Convention plans. He was not going to allow the shooter to alter his plans.

Then on Thursday, in a much awaited nomination speech, Trump again made one of his central themes since his first campaign in 2016. True to form, after recounting the event, he reached into his bag once again saying “the forgotten man will be forgotten no more.” It is such a bold statement with so much legitimacy behind it. Even more now.

Just like all the ordinary people in the country pointing out obvious severe issues and our government poo-pooing all their concerns. The border? Ha, that’s not a real threat, you just have a “perception problem.” The border is closed. So they gaslight us all over, all the time. No, we are the real problem — the only problem the arrogant elect care about.

We are only conspiracy reactionaries.

Unfortunately that day at the rally, the authorities did not take action in time. But they cannot say they were not told, repeatedly. Now we are getting information the sniper delayed engaging the shooter on someone’s order. Sound eerily familiar? The ordinary people and their concerns must never be validated.

An informed-public would disrupt the entire political structure.

I’m not aware of any other candidate or president standing up for and representing the ordinary man. No wonder we are all considered the forgotten man.

We don’t matter: our jobs don’t matter, our opinions don’t matter, our hopes and dreams don’t matter, and our voices simply don’t matter.

Well, we have just witnessed a culmination of what almost 4o years of “I know better” politics brought about in the end. They can’t blame results on Trump or the ordinary, forgotten man. But then those results are no surprise to us. We saw it all coming.

But in the aftermath, standing up for the ordinary man has now become “badass.”

What’s The Price Tag? The price is right goes politics

by Bullright

Ever since I was a kid, Americans of all stripes wrestled with the question: can someone buy the US Presidency? Is it possible?  I’m not sure the question has been settled over all the years. Now, in 2024, the new question is can someone buy the current president out of office? And if so,  what would that cost?

Like everything else that is either upside down or reversed today, Biden and family represents a new era with new questions. What would a golden parachute even look like to make him step down and/or refuse to run and go away? You can be sure though that someone is sitting in the backroom somewhere running the numbers.

After all, you have someone in Joe who has sold out the US at every opportunity lining the pockets of his family. Then it is only natural that if he must go, he will have to be heavily compensated for it. I mean it just fits the M/O of quid-pro-quo Joe. Is it 10 or fifty million, what’s the price? Or to put it another way, what is the price of power?

Does anyone think that Biden would leave without getting a benefit package for it? Well, son of a bitch,  major grifters like Joe are, if nothing, predictable. He holds the cards now and basically the country hostage, along with his own party. What is it going to take?

His lifestyle and real estate portfolio are mortgaged to the hilt. There are millions involved. And with his entire family dependent on his position and power, losing that potential wealth would be a huge loss on his family. They will not be going to the poor house. The retirement from the Senate and presidency is not enough to float all the Biden boats.

America has a another new first. Would it ever be enough for the Biden syndicate?

The Democrats and media establishment have entered a new era as well. They appear to be done with Joe, they just don’t need him anymore. He is as disposable as a fruitcake.

So Joe is suddenly senile.

Are they priming America for a new narrative? I hear all their criticism of Biden lately but it’s all personal or about his degenerating character. None of it is about his policies. So here is one scenario, make Joe-the hoe-Biden the fall guy for it all. People are as fed up with Joey’s policies as with Joe himself. That’s a problem for the institutional left.

Democrats are facing a loss in 2024, maybe a very big one. Quick, throw Joe under the bus and say Biden is the only real problem, not all the miserable anti-America policies. Throw Joe overboard to save that radical leftist agenda. If anything, the agenda was not radical enough to satisfy progressive leftists.

The answer then comes back to the same calculation: what price is worth paying to save their failed agenda — for it to live on and play another day? Just never blame policies.

They can’t lose the election and let the narrative be that their failed policies sucked.

But for Joe, he now has a perplexing choice: take the golden parachute to vacate his candidacy; or go down in flames anyway in November without a parachute or prayer?

So which one will it be?

A What If Theory: a changing Biden narrative

by Bullright

I have a wild theory for my limited number of readers. Not saying it’s true or I necessarily believe it. But at least it could be one, as time goes on and efforts to explain Biden’s cognitive state are increasingly frustrated.

So what if the Biden circle is coming to terms that the ‘news about Biden is out and we can’t hide it anymore?’ They have tried all the explanations to date and even blamed cheap fake videos. But the American people got an eyeful at the debate for 90 minutes of prime-time blunder. It confirmed all the worst public suspicions.

Team Biden has surely been brainstorming and decided maybe they could take a cue from  the Hur Report? Democrats already tried denial of reality and people are on to them.

Now his advisors gathered around and said the people see this train wreck in front of them and we’re losing confidence in our message. How about borrowing that determination from Hur about not putting Biden on trial because he’s “an elderly man with a poor memory” and a jury would be too sympathetic to convict him?

Hur Report: “We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Eiden[sic] would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him-by then a former president well into his eighties-of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”

 

The Sympathy Card

They figure that could solve the problem. They could just let everything unfold and stop worrying about it. Just concentrate on making him into a sympathetic figure. If that could stay a conviction, it should be worth some votes too. Go for the sympathy vote. Why not?

That way his team doesn’t have to explain things but let the doddering Biden roll on into election. Maybe the people can also feel just sorry enough for Biden to vote for him. Their voters are driven on emotions anyway.

People might also feel too sorry for him to replace him. Play the “poor Joe” card.

The only thing that makes this harder is when Biden seems so angry and nasty sometimes. But their voters love those traits. If too sick to convict, he could be too sick to throw out.

 

There you have it, crazy as it sounds. But as time goes on and they run out of spin and unbelievable excuses for ol’ Joe, it might be a real possibility as a last resort.

So play the sympathy card to the max. That’s the ticket. Feel sorry for Joey bananas!

The 3 am Phone Call

by Bullright

The 3 am phone call for America came in the form of a debate in June. Democrats were perplexed at how to respond. People knew it was bad news, even if it should have been anticipated all along in this Biden campaign.

But the real 3 am phone call, which has become a hallmark of presidential campaigning for president, has been almost an institution of modern politics. It is all theoretical based on whether one is ready and can handle that 3 am call on any serious matter? How to respond? It is the proverbial question to quantify if someone is ready, or not?

That question has never been asked of Joe Biden for some unknown reason. We see how he acts in the course of a day and in his schedule, challenging enough — what is not kept from us. It is as much a question of instincts as readiness.

What if, heaven forbid, there was really a middle of the night phone call requiring Joe Biden’s decision? In that case, how confident can we be in Biden’s hypothetical response? It should scare anyone. Given that we already saw him acting as Vice President for 8 years, we never saw any indication he would have an adequate response.

As VP, Joe was never really a factor in the mix even though behind closed doors he was supposedly the right-hand advisor to President Obama. We do know he was against the raid on the infamous bin Laden compound. He now constantly mentions having taken out Osama bin Laden successfully. But it was against his own advice. That is par for the course with Joe Biden, so often taking credit for something he had little or nothing to do with.

However, Joe Biden did support the raid on Mar-a-Lago. And I think he did endorse a political, lawfare ambush on General Flynn, from the start of Trump’s presidency.

Thankfully, we haven’t had that 3 am phone call for Biden. But Benghazi is still blurry.

So our 3 am phone call came, what does America do?
“It’s 3 am in America, do you know who your president is?”

Funny how Biden’s response to bad news is always to try to blame it on his “predecessor.” But who came before Trump? Who was in office for eight years before Donald Trump?

Elder Biden, when asked about his old age, recollected getting ridiculed at the start of his career for being the youngest member in the body. That is to say he spent his entire working life nursing on the government teat. So what has he done in all that time?

Adding VP to the Mix

by Bullright

Like it or not, the country has Vice President-fever right now. It is on both sides of the isle.

But on the left they have the stunning example of a Vice President who is ill-equipped to do anything. They aren’t looking for a Vice President as much as trying to scheme a way to deal with the legacy of Biden’s poor pick for VP.

Or the question becomes how to get around her now without pissing off a few people, Kamala for one. She remains the stunning example of what not to pick. She was never qualified for anything and checked relevant boxes. But it ended her career prematurely.

Trump would never do something like that. Pence was bad enough. But I actually thought Pence was a decent pick at one time. He proved me wrong. The good news is that a Mike Pence is not in the mix this time. He is gone but not forgotten. And Trump has the administrative experience of the presidency this time.

But you may thank the Demoncrat Left for one thing, making Trump the strongest he has ever been through the experience of fighting with them for four years. He is not going to replicate that cat fight. And there will be no splitting the baby with evil.  The left can try the same script, using its radical protest wing, but the people know Trump far better than to fall for their lies now.

The only ones who still believe all the Democrat’s lies is the hard Left. Even many Democrats have jaundice doubts about what the Left says now. Credibility is such a horrible thing to waste. Ideologues are not going to run roughshod over the voting populace, especially after lying about Biden’s superb competence for four years.

Yeah, Kamala has seen her best days and they are all in the past. No amount of remaking, after how many failed attempts, can rehabilitate her into a leader much less a competent executive. She is probably the biggest collateral damage of Biden’s political career. Kamala is so over. They could have done better with Lori Lightfoot in the number two.

Trump does have one choice of Doug Burgum in his top tier which rivals all contenders. I was not too aware of him before. I like Vivek and Tim Scott too. But if you want executive experience with political results, Burgum rises to the top.

Sorry, I don’t want to see and hear Rubio for four years. He is also from Florida. He can stay active in the Senate and effective there. Tim Scott could come to the cabinet too but it would be a shame to loose him in the Senate. The country does not need to draw from the Senate for number two anyway. Look at the last examples of Obama, Biden, and Harris. Do we really need to recycle from the Senate, the body causing so much indigestion now?

Getting rid of Kamala Harris is simply a great bonus to defeating Biden.

We Are The Ones

by Bullright

Do you remember the old familiar line from Obama’s term in office, namely in speaking to his base like he always did, proudly saying that: “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for?”

Well, over time it has become even more clear what he meant. Indeed they all believed they were activated, then and after, to do exactly what they have been doing for years now. Fill in the blank from politicization of government on all levels, to using the government to surveil and attack their political opponents and now put them on trial and jail them if possible, as a threat to the country — aka, threat to their political agenda.

Meanwhile, these people care nothing about the security of the nation. They care nothing about honesty and integrity in government or even fair elections. They only care about their political agenda and the real ideology which drives it. As powerful as some of them may seem, in reality they are only empty vessels in the Left’s pursuit of its devious ends.

So indeed they are the ones they have been waiting for. Now we have Chinese influence added to that volatile political mix on a scale we have never seen before.

Of course, we have other states or countries in the world posing a threat to America on a weekly basis. They are of no serious concern to these people, in part because all are instrumental in the ultimate goal of leftists, to transform and change this country into something it was never meant to be. That ultimately puts them on the same side as evil regimes and terrorists, Tehran to Moscow, with Deep State and intelligence in tow.

And now, Joe Biden has facilitated all that evil in his plan to open the borders and allow the evil to flow like a river. So much of it stems from the fruits of that open borders agenda. Everything that comes from an open border contributes to their broader political agenda, and is just a means to the ends. Under this banner, they actually believe they are in control though all they are only facilitating all the evil that follows.

Notice how little they talk about the real problems and dismiss them as mere perception errors. Notice how it is only us, rational people, who flail our arms and ask “why do you allow this to continue?” But it is all part and parcel of the plan, to allow just that. They believe they can use the fruits of their own failures to secure the country, for political benefit. That in fact is terrorism, to threaten and attack the country for political gain.

There is now so little difference between the regime in Tehran, Beijing, Moscow, or North Korea to the left’s plans. The common threads all point in one direction with the leftist progressive communist agenda. Remember, “Never let a crisis go to waste!” Everything is only more ammunition for their broader ideology plan.

How self-righteous that they are the ones they have been waiting for.

They have incorporated all departments of the administration into the pursuit of this sinister agenda which will absolutely destroy the country. But they know that. Again, ask why? It’s because they can and it is all just part of the twisted plan. “So relax people, chill!” And they really believe they are in control. (maybe that is the worst part)

Here is a flashback from August 2016 — The Politicization of Government

After this last debate Thursday, Joe Biden’s campaign chairman Chris Coons took to the airwaves to declare that Biden’s presidency is the most consequential in American history. Well, no kidding, it certainly is “consequential” all right.

By the way, notice how eerily silent Bernie Sanders has been lately? Strange.

A Chuckle can’t help but it won’t hurt either

by Bullright

Have you noticed how everything you buy today comes complete with an emailed survey to your inbox, asking you to rate and review your recent purchase? It could be like this:

Feedback requested. You recently bought hot dogs from our store (about 90 minutes and 8 seconds ago.) So we’d like your feedback on them. Did they meet your expectations? What did you use them for? What did you like best about them?  How likely are you to recommend them to others? Comments?

So I spend about half my time shopping to find products, when I can afford them. I spend the other half of my time at home filling out insignificant surveys of what I purchased that I probably can’t afford. But oh well!

And who is reading these illustrious surveys of mine? Are they getting the message yet? Stuff is just too expensive. What I do with my purchases is my business. It is proprietary information. Now I noticed they aren’t paying me for it, just like they didn’t compensate me for checking out my own purchases and price checking them when necessary. Why does it still matter what I do with them once it leaves their store?

Not to mention, but I still will, that I’m too busy these days trying to find the money to make these purchases to add yet another gratuitous task to my “to-do list.” But thanks for caring! Next time I do opt to give feedback though, I could use a little help with my tip jar which seems to be running on empty lately. It would be greatly appreciated. Even lies cost money these days. After all, someone has to make them up and that all takes time. You mean you could not just have AI do feedback for you?

 

I mean take a number! My health insurance carrier wants feedback on how well they’re doing. (or what they aren’t doing) The cable company wants to survey my experience with them. My bank wants to know how I’m doing on my incredibly shrinking bottom line. The one real cashier I did have today wants me to rate my experience with her, ‘how did she do on a scale of 1-5.’ So I gave her a 5 cause she spoke clear English and didn’t charge for it.

My electric company wants to know if I disagree with their shutoff notice, and if there is anything else they can do for me? They consider me a valued customer.

The bill collectors now solicit my rating after threatening cancellation. My experience is ever so important to them. They try hard to meet my expectations, when not cancelling customers.

What time is it today? Oh look, it’s time for another survey for someone. I should tell them next time that they only get what they paid for – not my fault.

But right now I’m only waiting for the survey feedback on my recent feedback.

When Wrong Becomes Offensive: shades of political theory gone awry

by Bullright

Preface: personally, I found the more informed I become on both history and politics the more conservative at the core I became. I started out being a less informed Goldwater conservative. That s my own perspective view.

This is in the vain of Jefferson’s statement that if it neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg, it does me no injury. Then what reason should I be offended?  But over the years it has done both to me, while some injuries are physical, many are mental offenses which defy reason and real accountability. That’s the nuanced way to say it all matters. Thus, we rightfully have many reasons to be offended by establishment big-government schemes.

In fact it used to be liberal was akin to being conservative. It was Classical Liberalism. But Democrats adopted the liberal moniker as a way to bury the Marxist/communist label. It worked but in doing so they ruined the term liberal. What of those people who still hold the “classical liberal” views? They were marginalized and sacrificed.

Today the correct term would be they fit in the conservative camp. Maybe not Republicans per say, however more aligned with them than any others. (whether they realized it or not)

Now, today, there is a common misconception spread far and wide in the country perpetrated by the left and its media comrades, that the intellectuals and smarter people are predominantly liberal Democrats. It also posits that conservatives are somehow less educated, non-educated or dumb. Therefore their views should be dismissed — even ridiculed and attacked. That conservatives don’t know what they’re talking about.

This idea has festered over years to the surprising acceptance of even some Republicans. So as this false narrative would have it then, the more intelligent you become the more establishment ‘liberal’-minded you must be. Which basically means to politically align with Democrats’ big-government political views on most issues. Of course this is the left’s narrative, not mine. That also asserts the more academically degreed one is, the more inclined he/she is to be co-opted by the Left to support the establishment status quo.

There is a great example in history that shows the error of this notion, theoretically and in reality. In other words, their political theory (shall we call it to be generous) never was true but yet another concoction of the Left’s political narrative. You see this talking point used rampantly now to the point even pollsters assume it has validity.

I want to expose that as the ignorant canard it is. Back to examples, there is a good one pre-revolution in one family. Samuel Adams is well known as being a father of the Sons of Liberty. Rightfully he is known as a radical. John Adams is known and respected for being (much more than Sam) an intellectual and well-versed on Constitutional principles.

Before the revolution, of course the resistance led by Samuel Adams was strong.  While John Adams even defended some British redcoats from the Boston Massacre. And he did so successfully getting their actions labeled as self-defense. Now before you go nuts on that, consider the King’s army only looked for one of the smartest attorneys to defend their charges in the trial. (as everyone deserves fair trial)  John Adams was no slouch there.

But after that he saw the folly of supporting the King’s treatment of the colonies growing to side with the Samuel Adams resistance movement into being a fierce proponent for it, even in Congress, to eventually select George Washington to head the fledgling military. Of course Washington was already a strong proponent for the resistance.

So the experience and intellectual capacity of Adams evolved into a radical proponent for the independence. He changed is earlier views; and when he did Adams saw the dangerous threat the British crown really was to people and their laws. He also determined what the King and his army were doing to the colonies went against English common law.

He got to that perspective from reason and fact. (something the left rarely uses now, if even sparingly) But in the end he was fully behind the resistance movement, in fact and law. Just that Samuel, the intellectual inferior was there much earlier and never swayed. He saw the threat and danger looming all along. John was an early skeptic of it.

Now you have the example that intelligence does not necessarily lead one to the leftist establishment, big-government camp. But actually, intellect can make the exact counter-case against it. Sometimes intellectuals are its fiercest opponents.

A modern example would be JD Vance, the Senator from Ohio.

If you remember years ago before being Senator, the left thought they had found a great ally in Vance, promoting his *book on CNN and liberal media. They assumed, surely this academic guy is with us and will be a great asset against stupid conservative Republicans. It didn’t quite work out that way. Soon they began dropping their fawning of Vance. He no longer fit Democrats’ false intellectualism narrative.

In fact, if you follow the extension of Democrats’ argument about intelligence all the way back to the revolution, then it must have been all the dumb and stupid people in the colonies who are responsible for our independence. Thanks to the dummies the Fourth of July exists at all.

As Reagan said in a Time for Choosing: “Well, the problem with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant, it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes people can be late to the party, and that delay does make a difference. But once there, everyone is on exactly the same page.  The Constitution still matters. The first, fourth, fifth and fourteenth amendments matter. Justice and rule of law matter. They are not all up to the king’s discretion, at the altar of almighty government.

But what the plantation nation of the left insinuates is that we are not all created equal; and have no unalienable rights which cannot be restricted or eliminated by the tyrannical state, or selectively doled out for power and political votes. Big Bro doesn’t hold the key to your rights, but was created to secure them – not limit them.

All The News Fit To Script

by Bullright

There is a point at which news is just not news anymore. It is pig slop from a hog farm served up to look like gourmet stew, with a garnish on top. It’s not and it’s not news.

At least there was some curiosity and suspense with the OJ trial. There is no more a pretense that the justice system is at work. Most places and most people have given up believing that illusion. Those serving it up don’t much care that we don’t believe it.

So the news cycle reports what we already know and figured out, long ago. There is nothing to see because we are only too aware what is going on and don’t care to participate in the psycho- drama of any narrative otherwise.

All you need to know are the facts and you can pretty much determine the results. Crime is up, there is an illegal invasion, the economy is a bitch, there is a war on energy, and government does nothing about it. Actually, government is facilitating all of it intentionally for political reasons; it is the cause not the solution.

Then Biden whips up some executive order supposedly to fix border problems. Again, it is not a fix but codifies the failures we lived with for four years. News, is it really?

It is not simply the age of this incompetent jackass that’s at issue, but the chronic state of the entire country while a frustrated public looks on. Now Joey Bananas is trying to kill off any remaining hope the people may still have of restoring sanity.

And the news plays on, as if some of us still think we are at this critical juncture just sitting in suspense. We know the movie story line and we know how it ends.

Biden was declared too incompetent and sympathetic to get a trial. However, Trump gets a phony choreographed trial on fabricated charges nobody can understand, much less believe. But any pretense of justice is dead. Yet Biden declares Trump had every chance to defend himself. The justice system during Trump’s trial worked exactly as it should.

The press is not even outraged because it was all as predictable as authoritarianism is. Everything is scripted ad nausea, fed to us daily to preempt accountability. In plantation nation, no one should ask any questions.

Urban Terrorism In Motion

by Bullright

A look at our campuses gives us a glimpse of our future. Pro-Hamas and pro-Iran regime protestors make it pretty clear to anyone paying attention. It is reminiscing of the protests of the Vietnam war. Remember those?

These protests are ginned up and organized by the same types of people who also hate America. Seeing it in action makes it abundantly clear where it is headed and what their mission is. The Antisemitism is off the charts (I posted about that campus organizing 11 years ago), and the Nazi-type hatred or rhetoric is synchronized like never before.

The protests are not really designed to convince but beat everyone into submission and silence against them, finally into compliance. Democrats fall right into that trap, too. They believe these people are useful in politics with Democrats’ election plans. It is so much like the pro-commie protestors of the past Vietnam era, and very well funded.

But even if we have seen this script before that doesn’t deter the protestors one bit. Well, they’ve been incubating, fertilizing, and encouraging these views and behavior on campuses for years, or  decades. Straight from the ivy walls to neighborhoods near you.

The same tactics are used every time. Shutting down bridges to defend Hamas?

It is all a flashback of Hitler’s 3rd Reich. Reasoning has no place with them, they don’t care to debate or discuss issues. They would rather resort to the patterned radicalism they apply to any of their “causes.” Only these actions don’t have a cause, they are the cause.

Academia, aren’t you so sweet to America? It’s because you believe in education, right?

These are only echoes from a genocidal generation, is anyone listening?

Brotherhood Of Lovers

by Bullright

I believe in an ideal that among all the divisions and chaos in America, there is an underlying love for the liberty and Constitution this country represents. Granted it may be a loose, unorganized  group,  a questionable majority of individuals who still hold  sacred the ideas which were common, if unique, to this country and its founding.

Oh, the belief is still there amongst us, albeit expressed in silent discord at the moment. This group forming a coalition is the hope for a brotherhood of lovers.

Among the land of the left, in its institutions and academia, they hold to views and actions based on a hatred. Hate for the rule of law and America itself. They find natural allies in a coalition with all kinds of movements or groups, each with their own bitter grievances against the country, liberty and the Constitution itself. That is what Marxism is about, being at war with our system of government with an interest in bringing it down completely, or at least commandeering it to their will.

So we have a loose knit brotherhood of lovers against a lockstep brotherhood of hate. We always hear our current situation described as a struggle or war between good and evil, which it is, but it actually breaks down to a common love verses a common hatred.

Surely the organizing resource is mostly on the Left with more of a silent brotherhood on the right. As in the past, this coalition on the right formed among liberty and freedom lovers and lovers of the Constitution from diverse stripes — be they Republicans, Independents, Democrats and patriots of all kinds. This diverse latter group must see a reason to organize and activate a coalition.

But for the Left, their triggered activism and politics are driven on hate. Couple that with an insatiable ability to lie or try to deceive their enemies and the people about their real agenda. Any of that lying and deception is an acceptable means to their ends. So that is the type of people we are dealing with: whether it is in Washington politics, the media or in their state-controlled institutions held ransom by the Left.

Our goal on the right is to become a more visible, organized and effective union that won’t be deterred by hatred, bullying, sophistry or toxic deception that schemes to rob Americans of their basic rights and liberties secured by a sovereign nation.

There you have it, one side driven by love and one side driven by hate.

“We the people” was never meat to be we the enemies within.

Know when to hold em and know when to fold em: A Liar Who Can’t Even Bluff?

by Bullright

After the ” Iran response” to Israel taking out top Iran terror-proxy leaders, Israel plans a retaliation to Iran proper (not just their terrorism proxies). Several countries, including the US were engaged in defending Iran’s attack on Israel.

But it didn’t take long for Joey Bananas to broadcast that the US would not be taking part in any counteroffensive against Iran.

So how come president Poopy Pants cannot lie to our enemies just the way he lies to Americans all the time? Then why should Iran be able to trust Biden when we the people can’t trust anything he says, or have any confidence in him? Who is the fool here?

He seems incapable of even doing a head fake to evil regimes and terrorists. Kind of odd for an habitual liar, isn’t it? I mean lying is what he is skilled at.

Joe is only “Dark Brandon” to Americans. Our enemies get  Sodium-Pentothal Joe.

So if Biden a had one lifelong trait it was lying, about anything and anyone, and even when he didn’t have to. But he doesn’t have the gonads to lie to our most evil enemies?

If he ain’t the Manchurian, he is a very credible impersonator.

** Here’s a fresh accounting of lies Joe just told us in Scranton, from Hot Air.
