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.

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...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
