Chuck Todd is the personification of stupidity and partisanship

It's frightening what types of stupid things can be heard while watching MSNBC hosts. This article quotes Chuck Todd as saying "There was this focus group - and it’s qualitative, not quantitative - where swing voters, Trump-Biden voters seem to buy the idea that Putin wouldn’t have done this in Trump was president. How does the Democratic Party answer for that?" Then Todd continued, saying "I don’t buy that. I don’t think that matches logic, but voters do. That's a perception issue."

Actually, it's a fact problem. During the Trump administration, Putin behaved himself, relatively speaking, and didn't threaten Ukraine. That's largely because Trump shipped massive quantities of Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine. Some were part of an aid package. Others were sold outright to President Zelenskiy. Trump and Zelenskiy projected a no-nonsense image to Mr. Putin.

Further, Trump's version of Drill, Baby, Drill kept oil prices cheap. It isn't coincidental that Putin's expansionist agenda emerges when oil is cheap and there's a weak leader in the White House.

"Fifty-one percent believe the economy is in a recession or depression. I mean, look, it’s just not true," Todd exclaimed after NPR reporter Ayesha Rascoe argued that Biden wasn't able, as president, to actually do anything about the rising inflation rates plaguing the country, citing a USA Today-Suffolk University poll.

"This economy is frustrating. This economy with COVID has been — I’ve got money and I can’t find something. But my god, there’s jobs. There’s good jobs," he added. "Is this the right-wing echo chamber is better than the Democratic echo chamber? Or is there something else missing here?"

What Todd's missing is the fact that inflation is stealing families' income. When wages are up 5.1% year-over-year but inflation is up 7.9% year-over-year, that's a significant loss in families' buying power. Inflation is a wealth thief. This video highlights Todd's thinking:

SIDENOTE: Jennifer Palmieri replied to Todd's echochamber question by saying "For sure, the right-wing echochamber is always better than the left-wing echochamber. It's not that the left-wing echochamber isn't smarter or more strategic than the right-wing echochamber. It's that we just don't repeat what we're told to say and we never will." What rubbish! Get a Democrat off their chanting points and they're lost. They can't explain their way out of a wet paper sack after that.

Summarizing is simple in this case. We have 4 years of affirmative proof that Putin didn't invade Ukraine during Trump's administration. Finally, there's this to enjoy:

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
