Barack Obama's aimless ramblings

Saturday evening, Barack Obama campaigned for Gov. Phil Murphy in New Jersey. While there, he let loose with a riff that's almost totally devoid of verifiable facts. He said "These are serious times and we need serious people. We have too much to get done to be going backwards. Here we are trying to recover from a global pandemic that has killed more than 700,000 Americans, put millions in harm's way. We don't have time to waste on phony culture wars or fake outrage that the right-wing media peddling just to juice up your ratings."

Obama is right. These are serious time. He's also right in saying that the pandemic "has killed 700,000 Americans." After that, it's devoid of truth-telling. The culture wars aren't phony. The outrage isn't ginned up by right-wing media to juice up ratings.

A freshman girl allegedly got raped in Virginia and the school board covered it up. That isn't ginned up. The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident. The National School Board Association sent a letter to Merrick Garland, insisting that there's been an uptick in violence against school board members. The NSBA has now apologized for that letter. If anyone's ginning up outrage, it's Democrats. This shows how out-of-touch Democrats are:

So instead of forcing schools to cut back, we should be doing more to support the people who are educating our kids.
The teachers unions and school boards are the problem. They aren't the parents' allies. In this video, Obama insults parents, saying that their substantive complaints are the product of "fake outrage that the right-wing media [is] peddling":

That's what happens when your ego gets too big. Obama thinks he can say anything and get away with it. That worked in 2007-8 but people have figured out that Barack Obama is both a great orator and lousy liar.

It's important to remember that Obama doesn't walk on water. During his 8 years in office, over 1,000 Democrats lost their seats in legislatures, governorships, Congress and the Senate. Obama was good at getting himself elected. He wasn't nearly as good getting his party elected.

The good news for Terry McAuliffe is that Joe Biden is campaigning for him Tuesday. If Obama can't seal the deal, Joe will get it done.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
