Sunday was Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump Day

If you visited the RealClearPolitics website, you'd be overwhelmed with articles that are either pro-Trump or pro-Biden. Some are informative while others sound like they were written by blithering idiots. Rather than go through the entire menu, let's look at Jen O'Malley's tweet from wherever Alice-in-Wonderland lives. Ms. O'Malley isn't crazy. She just isn't terribly honest.

In the opening paragraph of Ms. O'Malley's tweet, she wrote "It’s a familiar story: Following Thursday night’s debate, the beltway class is counting Joe Biden out. The data in the battleground states, though, tells a different story. On every metric that matters, data shows it did nothing to change the American people’s perception, our supporters are more fired up than ever, and Donald Trump only reminded voters of why they fired him four years ago and failed to expand his appeal beyond his MAGA base."

That's what I'd expect from Team Biden. First, people like David Axelrod, Van Jones and Circle-back Jen Psaki were in panic mode. I hope Ms. O'Malley won't gaslight people again. Mr. Axelrod knows a sinking ship when he sees one. Next, saying that "data shows it did nothing to change the American people’s perception" is pure fantasy. One focus group of 13 people recorded no people switching to Biden. How do you go zero-for-focus-group?

Next, let's look at Bill Ackman's tweet. Here's what Mr. Ackman wrote:

@realDonaldTrump is going to win in a landslide. The country should rally around Trump and help him succeed.

Trump didn’t expect to win the first time he was elected. As a result, he was totally unprepared. The lack of preparation, the Russia investigation and the ensuing chaos interfered with his ability to execute.

Now Trump knows he is going to win. So does everyone else. One of my biggest concerns was whether Trump could build a first class team. The good news is that very capable people that I know are excited to work in the new Trump administration. Trump will be able to start recruiting top talent immediately.

Anyone that's paid attention to this election has seen Trump go through a maturation process. Biden tried baiting Trump multiple times into a bad-looking moment. That moment never happened. Biden was the one who had the viral moments. Biden looked frustrated, not Trump. This was, in my opinion, the best line of the night:

What Biden said was total malarkey. He stumbled through the entire night. Meanwhile, Trump stuck to his game plan of highlighting what he's now named Biden Migrant Crime. Time and again, Trump highlighted that. People saying that Trump didn't say what he'd do in a second term are lying through their teeth! Trump also spoke defiantly about delivering on the biggest tax cut in history and the biggest regulations cut in history. While Trump didn't say anything about Drill, Baby, Drill, he mentioned returning to energy independence as a way to cut inflation and high prices.

To Democrats

This race is over. You've been exposed as outright liars. You told us that 'Behind the scenes, Joe outworks all of us' or that 'Joe's sharp as a tack.' Thursday night, that spin came crashing down.

To Republicans

It's time to redouble our work hours. Yes, we're in a good position but that doesn't mean we're the prohibitive favorites. We still have to outwork our opponents.

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

Blistering Barack's butt (bigtime)

This past weekend, Barack Obama tried spreading the blame around for Hamas's murderous rampage of Oct. 7. This blistering op-ed hints that Mr. Obama isn't the effective communicator that he once was. Obama initially insisted that "nobody's hands are clean" from the Oct. 7 Massacre. Liel Leibovitz, the Editor at large of Tablet Magazine wrote this op-ed questioning Obama's intellectual honesty. After Obama said that nobody's hands are clean, Mr. Liebovitz wrote wrote "Nah, man. Not all of us are complicit. It's just you. It's you, because you're the one who gave that stentorian speech about red lines in Syria and then sat by and did nothing as those red lines were crossed and Assad continued to slaughter his own people, allowing the Iranians and the Russians to creep in and fill the vacuum left by your devastating lack of leadership." In short, Mr. Liebovitz isn't buying what Mr. Obama is peddling. Let's question Mr. Obama a

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
