John Fetterman, man of the people?

At a rally yesterday, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman introduced himself as John Fetterwoman. In past times, Lt. Gov. Fetterman has touted himself as a man of the people, a populist. Frankly, he's simply weird. These days, he's both weird and recovering from a stroke. The stroke is hurting Fetterman's ability to speak.

The ability to speak isn't that important if you're a welder or construction worker. It's vitally important if you're a politician. At his first 3 rallies after his stroke, Fetterman spoke a combined 15 minutes at them. That's right -- 15 minutes total. I'm not talking about averaging 15 minutes per speech.

As terrible as that is, that isn't Lt. Gov. Fetterman's biggest problem. Lt. Gov. Fetterman's biggest problem is that he's a socialist to the left of Sen. Bernie Sanders. Lt. Gov. Fetterman thinks that letting one-third of the prisoners out of Pennsylvania's prisons won't make Pennsylvania's neighborhoods less safe. What idiot thinks like this?

It's possible that this man might actually represent Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate: That's a frightening thought. What's more frightening is the fact that Fetterman wants to eliminate fracking, which is an $80,000,000,000 a year industry in Pennsylvania. Picking Fetterman to represent Democrats on the ticket in Pennsylvania shows that they don't care about Pennsylvanians as much as they care about getting another ideologue into the Senate. Let's remember that ideologues don't listen to their constituents. They listen to their wishlists. If inflation is rising, the ideologue's highest priority is passing election integrity legislastion. That sounds like hyperbole but it happened earlier this year.

The only reason it failed was because they couldn't reach the 60-vote threshold to end the filibuster. BTW, Fetterman wants to end the filibuster. I'm with Bonchie on this:

My support of Mehmet Oz means my opinion won’t mean much to those who support Fetterman. But really, I beg of them to watch that clip and believe their eyes and ears. This farce has gone on long enough, and it needs to be stopped at the ballot box. Don’t elect someone to such an important office that is so obviously incapable and unqualified. The current president has shown us how that turns out.

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...
