Thoughts on the Ruinous Mid-Term Elections

After the mid-term elections a few weeks back, I was admittedly disheartened.  It’s not that I bought into the rhetoric of the mythically monumental “red wave” that was supposed to sweep the leftist hate-America-first congress critters and senators from office.  I knew better, and if there is ever a way for Republicans to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, they will consistently find a way to do so it seems. 

Perhaps if they ran on a clearly articulated pro-Constitution agenda instead of just against the senile and corrupt Biden and his flying monkeys in congress, they would have fared better.

That said, the stage has been increasingly set in this once great nation to support socialist/leftist candidates and their dangerous ideas which have been demonstrably proven to fail repeatedly along with their profligate spending on extra/un-constitutional things. 

I know –   I know –

Anything that the left wants to spend tax payers’ dollars on is covered under the Constitution’s “good and plenty” clause.  Er, I mean under the general welfare clause.  Never mind that this is so much nonsense and that anything not specifically enumerated as a right or duty of the federal government in the constitution is supposed to be reserved to the states or the people. 

Seems like I have read that somewhere before too…  Now if only our elected officials would likewise do us the minimal favor of reading the freaking constitution they are supposed to support and defend. But I digress.  After all, why would the leftists care about governing in a manner faithful to the constitution when they despise America?  Even their previous messiah Obama was swept into office on the promise of fundamentally transforming America with “hope and change” for free stuff for everyone that towed the manifesto line.

Academia has tilted left for so long that they have indoctrinated the current generation of students and much of the previous one as well to their leftist propaganda.  Question this and one is labelled a fascist, racist, sexist, homophobe, transphobe, xenophobe, authoritarian, blah blah blah.  Oh, and one’s grade will likely reflect one’s inability to regurgitate a leftist professor’s beliefs.  I know.  I have seen it personally for many people.

I don’t know if we have reached the tipping point where we will not be able to save America from its own self-inflicted destruction or not.  The vocal left and its myriad special interest groups of hate America always propagandists seem to have an unassailable hold on the direction this country is headed, and they aren’t beyond doing whatever is necessary to ensure that they hold on to their power, elections be damned.  (There are ways to make sure elections always tilt to blue rather than red if the outcome is in doubt.  Just ask Kari Lake in Arizona.)

Anyway, I figure that I will simply go on about my life and try to associate with good like-minded people who appreciate what REAL old-fashioned Americans are: Those that love liberty, the constitution, and a government that protects those rights and nothing more.  In the meantime, I will trust in God and keep my powder dry.  I think perhaps not focusing on worldly things right now may be the only way we have left of saving our once great nation.  My prayers are always directed as such towards God accordingly.  May He still bless America.

GOP needs to learn how to "ballot harvest" like the Democrats do.

Darrell Michaels said...

No sir, they don't. They need to learn how to make sure that the law is followed and investigate and severely punish those found guilty of rigging the system unjustly and illegally.

Jerry said...

America has been going to hell in a hand basket for a long time now, and there is no evidence that God is doing anything to stop it, but never fear Trump is running again and soon you will have MAGA government back.

Darrell Michaels said...

Jerry, despite the corrupt and senile Biden's "leadership" over the leftist horde and the corresponding further collapse of our nation and its freedoms, Trump will not be returning to the Whitehouse.

Frankly I don't want him to even be the GOP nominee. I am tired of his infantile ego needing to be stroked and the sometimes stupid things he says or does. That said, he did a LOT of good for the country and we would be far better off today had he remained president. Biden's policies have only worsened things for the poor and those on limited income.

Fear not though, the Republicans are power-hungry idiots, and old fashioned Democrats in congress are all but extinct. That leaves the leftists and their propaganda of free crap for everyone to entice the ignorant and greedy masses to continue their corruption of liberty. Our nation is less than a generation from collapse. Our spending is unsustainable as we pass $31 TRILLION in debt so it will destroy us if the left's foreign and domestic policies otherwise don't finish us.

If there was some other bastion of freedom left, I would move there. Unfortunately, America is that last bastion, and it is going under... soon.

Jerry said...

Trump will probably be in jail by 2024

Darrell Michaels said...

If Trump is guilty of crimes, I am okay with that.

Biden should be in prison right now for his high crimes and misdemeanors.

Jerry said...

Where is proof of Biden's crimes or misdemeanors besides in your mind.

Anonymous said...

Jerry, Proof? On the laptop.

Jerry said...

Proof would be from the police or a DA not some off the wall biased bloggers or biased FOX news hounds.

Rep. Elise Stefanik says that Twitter executives have repeatedly lied to Congress about that platform’s censorship of conservatives:

“Twitter shadow banned conservatives, clearly interfered in the election, and then lied under oath about it,” Stefanik said.
***
[Twitter CEO Jack] Dorsey testified to Congress in September 2018 that Twitter does not shadow ban Republicans.

“I want to read a few quotes about Twitter’s practices and I just want you to tell me if they’re true or not,” Rep. Mike Doyle (D-PA), said. “Social media is being rigged to censor conservatives. Is that true of Twitter?”

Dorsey responded, “No.”

“Are you censoring people?” Doyle followed up.

“No,” Dorsey said.

“Twitter’s shadow-banning prominent Republicans… is that true?” Doyle asked again.

“No,” Dorsey said.

In the same hearing, Dorsey was asked by then-Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) if Twitter discriminated against Republicans’ points of view.

“Do you discriminate more on philosophy, like anti-conservative versus pro-liberal?” Barton questioned.

“No, our policies and our algorithms don’t take into consideration any affiliation, philosophy or viewpoint,” Dorsey responded.

The algorithms may or may not discriminate, but Twitter employees certainly did. If Twitter employees lied to Congress, as seems probable, they should be criminally prosecuted.

""Perhaps if they ran on a clearly articulated pro-Constitution agenda" Yeah, unlike the Democrats, who openly call for doing away with the Constitution so they can rule as a fascist dictatorship. Oh, wait, that was the moral and political head of your party that said that, with virtually no pushback from any Republican. Republicans cannot run on a "pro-Constitution agenda" because they have never believed in the Constitution or anything else that stands in the way of looting the wealth of the entire country on behalf of their sociopathic billionaire masters. Stop lying to yourselves; you hold the moral low ground and are defending it to your death and the deaths of all of the rest of us.

That was so much fun to read I almost feel guilty. I hope you eventually figure out that we (dirty hippies and commies) love America just like you but want it to be better. Meanwhile, cry harder…

Sources cited are more inuendo not factual reports. Maybe they are real, but they have not been proven yet. I don't believe things that have not yet been proven facts. It is unfortunate that we can no longer believe news source facts because news sources themselves have become biased.

Jerry said...

Try switching between FOX and MSNBC one night and see how differently each report the same story. Both cannot be true, so I wouldn't take either of them as factual, and it's obvious both are presenting their own bias.

Anonymous said...

Jerry,

Nice try, but dragging down FOX to the level of CNN,ABC,MSNBC,CBS,NBC, WAPO & NYTIMES just won't work anymore.

"The truth is out there" and the left can no longer hide it. No network other than FOX has been covering the mess on our southern, or the Hunter laptop or the info coming out of Tweeter since Musk disclosed it's files.

Now ask yourself, is it really news reporting to ignore these items, or is just a leftist agenda to do so? Wouldn't you like just once to see reporting on our southern border, the Hunter laptop what Musk has found out about Twitter since he bought it. Or do your prefer to be kept in the dark?

Jerry said...

You don't get it. Not surprising since you are blinded to FOX news.
Take your Biden allegations and try to have him put in jail without the proof of criminal justice procedure. Good luck.

Just the Facts! said...

Blinded, now there's the kettle calling the lid black, lol

Guess you don't care about our southern border, the Hunter laptop what Musk has found out about Twitter since he bought it. Who is blinded?

Want proof of the progressives turning a blind eye on Twitter and thereby censoring the news?

How much has the MSM covered these egregious abuses from the Twitter File revelations?

Now tell us again how we can't trust FOX News.

Jerry, in case you missed this ... Not FOX news, Joe Biden formally invited a “Drag Queen Story Hour” performer named “Marti Cummings” to the White House this week to celebrate the signing of the “Respect for Marriage Act.”

“Cummings,” a self proclaimed “non binary drag artist” and leftist LGBTQ-supporting political activist wrote in a post on Twitter on Wednesday, lauding his invitation from “The President and Dr. Biden” that permitted him to the capital to witness the ceremony in person on Tuesday.

I love doing Drag Story Hour. Despite what conservatives say, this family friend event is a way to spread joy, teach acceptance & love. A way to bring people together. Kids just want to hear their favorite stories…keep spreading hate because I’m gonna keep spreading joy pic.twitter.com/uhdseXtAua

And progressives are ok with this.

Jerry said...

Thanks for voicing your hate for alternative lifestyles, although I could have guessed it.

Just the Facts! said...

Rustcoal. Try to stay on YOUR subject...

you said you you couldn't trust FOX news, I simply provided you links to non FOX News sources. How you twisted that into "hate" is a symptom of your LEFTIST WOKE-SICKNESS.

Or do you like Drag Queens performing in public grade schools for minors?
