Bobby Kennedy JR.: JFK, FDR, wouldn't recognize today's Democrat Party

A week+ ago, Larry Kudlow told Michele Tafoya that Hubert Humphrey wouldn't recognize today's DFL because of its hard-left turn away from patriotism and supporting Israel. Speaking at last night's the GOP's first Midterm Convention, RFK JR. said "I am 72 years old, and for 70 years of my life I would have bet any amount of money that I would not be addressing a Republican convention. Ours was a party of strong principles, of clear policies and inspiring idealistic vision for America."

Then RFK JR. dropped a nuclear bomb on today's Democrats, saying "During COVID, I watched the Democratic party turn against every one of its essential values, its principles and all the policies that define my party. The Democrats, which were once the champions of the American constitution, systematically obliterated the Bill of Rights. Neither my father nor my uncle would recognize the Democratic party today."

Coming from the Kennedy dynasty, saying that JFK and RFK wouldn't recognize today's Democrats is the political equivalent of dropping the H-Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It isn't surprising that the left on social media went nuts. RFK JR.'s speech is 25+ minutes long but it's worth watching:

About 16:00 into the speechRFK JR. said "[Trump] called me and asked for a meeting and during the series of talks that followed, I realized about him, everything I'd heard about him from the mainstream media was a lie. I discovered -- I discovered a self-effacing man of superior intelligence, of empathy and compassion with an encyclopedic grasp of the issues with molecular detail and, most of all, a near reckless couragee that challenged orthodoxies. I found a man who cared deeply in transparency in government, who believed more than anything in protecting free speech and the entire U.S. Constitution. ... I found that many of the foundational values of the Democratic Party had found a new home and it was callled the Republican Party."

To be fair, RFK JR. called Kamala Harris:

Do you think she would agree to talk with me? Do you think that she'd even pick up the phone? So, on Aug. 23, 2024, I suspended my campaign and endorsed President Trump.
RFK JR apparently is the most famous member of the WalkAway campaign. It's time for the DFL to realize that the DFL of Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale doesn't exist in the DFL. The DFL's values are now part of the Republican Party of Minnesota. C'mon over. The water is fine.

Kendall Quall's big mistake

Image
A loyal reader of this blog just sent me a screenshot touting Kendall Qualls. The screenshot is short on truth. What it lacks in truth, it makes up for in fiction. Here's Kendall's fiction: Kendall Qualls should be ashamed for spewing this BS. First, Qualls knows better than this. Jeff Johnson and Lisa Demuth have both confirmed that they're abiding by the Convention's endorsement. This appears to be Qualls attempting to be something he isn't. While I'm not disputing whether Mr. Qualls will abide by the endorsement, I'm calling BS that he's THE ONLY GOP CANDIDATE who will abide by the endorsement. This brings into question whether Mr. Qualls is willing to say anything to win. We don't need another candidate who'll put together fiction to win. We've had too many candidates who fit that description throughout the years. Next, we need people who fit J.C. Watts' description of character. Watts said that "the definition of character is d...

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...
