There’s really not much to say now, is there? I mean, what is going to happen is pretty much set – we’re either going to win a magnificent victory for sanity or we’re going to find ourselves much further down the road of totalitarian insanity. I believe we’re about to win – I just can’t look at early voting numbers after the surge in GOP voter registration and figure we’re going to flop on Election Day turnout. We could! The Electorate could also be 55%+ women just waiting to get out there and sweep Harris into office. But that is a very unlikely outcome, in my opinion. Why? Because the Democrats are bragging about how many millions of doors they’ve knocked and it just hasn’t shown up in the early voting. They’ve shot their bolt – they’ve done everything they can to generate enthusiasm for Harris and it doesn’t seem to be working. Not really much chance it’ll suddenly work on Tuesday. But as in all things of the future, we don’t know until it happens.
Do keep in mind that Harris wasn’t inserted into the nomination as some super brilliant, 3-D chess move…it was a desperate stop-gap after Biden fell apart and placed at risk downballot Democrats. Gotta remember the situation – back then, pre-debate, it looked like Joe had an even money chance of winning while the Democrats chance of taking the House were better than 75%…all along it looked as though the Senate was out of reach (West Virginia being gone before the cycle started and Tester facing his first Presidential-year electorate since Obama won his second term in 2012, there just wasn’t much chance of him surviving; he only won in 2012 by about 18,000 votes out of 476,000 cast). But the House looked solid for the Dems and Joe looked ok…once Joe fell apart then the White House became a vanishing prospect with a good chance that a Biden poll collapse would not only cost the White House but also drag House Democrat candidates down with him. Enter Harris: who was supposed to generate enough enthusiasm to save the House, limit Senate losses and only after about 3 miracles win the White House for the Democrats.
Also remember that the day Biden dropped out, Trump’s campaign issued a memo indicating that they knew this was a possibility (there are no actual secrets in DC, after all) and were prepared to run against Harris. They also pointed out that the MSM would be awash in pro-Harris polls and reports to boost her up and make it look like she was the Second Coming, and the Trump people were ready for that and to counter it. Overall, I think they were ready and clearly had a plan – the most obvious aspect of it being to tie Harris to Biden as much as possible, play to her inability to win anything in 2020 and then just smoke her out – the Democrats wanted to basement her as much as they did Biden in 2020 but Team Trump goaded her into going public, with disastrous results for the Harris campaign.
However Tuesday comes out, Trump has definitely fought the good fight. He even took a bullet for us. We owe him an undying debt of gratitude. The GOP will never go back to the way it was. We are done trying to please the Chamber of Commerce while Democrats destroy everything that made America both good and great. We are now firmly set on a populist, America First path and we will win – the nation will turn to us. I firmly believe that America will turn to us on Tuesday but no matter what happens Tuesday, our time is coming. The whole global ruling class is collapsing under the weight of their lies and stupidity. If we don’t win now, we will win eventually. We are right. We are the good guys. We are the actual diverse coalition of voices who just want liberty and justice for all – this will prevail, in God’s good time if not in ours.
Like a lot of people, I had the jitters but they started to calm in the last week and on Sunday, during Mass, a complete feeling of peace came over me. We’re going to be fine. And, heck, we’re doing pretty well – if I would have told you in, say, May that Trump would have banked a lead in Nevada early votes, you would have shouted for joy at the prospect. Post-facto attempts by Democrats to spin this – and Doomers to downplay it – don’t change the fact that it happened and it is a stunning reversal of the norm.
Anyways, lets have at it. It has been an enormously fun and interesting election cycle, we’re poised for our biggest victory since 1988…and maybe since 1980.

Shady Election Group Dumps 90,000 Ballot Registrations in Maricopa County Before Sign-Up Deadline Ends – At Least 40,000 Damaged, Thousands Incomplete
I want to trust the election process, but Democrats make that impossible. Why can’t we go to ALL voter ID and paper ballots??? There is only one reason … cheating. And Democrats have mastered that. Thank God for Lara Trump and the new RNC who seem to be on their game and catching these “irregularities” before the election. Also we now know how bad Ronna McDaniel was, and why 2022 red wave didn’t happen. Ronna was a Democrat asset.
When you look at the map of counties across the country, the map is mostly red. In fact, I would say that 80% of the counties in the country are conservative and those people in rural areas are the low propensity voters but this time, they’re coming out in droves and I think that’s what will win the election for Trump. I feel confident

Get ready for the revival of “baseless”
When you look at the map of counties across the country, the map is mostly red.
It doesn’t reflect well on you when you confuse acreage for people.
It doesn’t reflect well on you when you admit that you don’t even realize that the states are colored to show which candidate got the most votes in each state.
Actually, I get that. Funny how such a geographically large state like Wyoming gets few Electoral College votes than a tiny state like Rhode Island. There must be a reason for that. Probably cheating.
We call that “counting”.
RockCow seems to be advocating for Electoral College votes being allocated by square miles of area rather than population. I kind of like that idea, as it would add to the EC votes of many states and decrease those of a lot of Northeastern states. It doesn’t make any sense, of course, but consider the source.

“narny narny narny I know what you are but what am I?” Fresh off the schoolyard, eh?
Exactly the kind of response I expected and, to be fair, kind of baited you into, to see if you would stoop that low. You’re so predictable. A grown-up vocabulary doesn’t mean a mature mind, as you constantly remind us.
This is who REAL AMERICANS are. Take some notes Casper and Rocks
https://x.com/nicoleshanahan/status/1853116147341967534?s=61
What a great ad. The Caspers and Rocks Cows of this world don’t have anything to counter that except fear, hatred, and killing babies.
Speaking of “killing babies” (and when speaking of Democrats it is unavoidable as this is apparently the flag they have chosen to identify themselves) Kamala Harris is talking about her concept of passing a federal law prohibiting states from passing their own abortion laws. (And no, this is not a “policy” because it’s just another empty shell of a vague concept with no details on how it would work.)
Things like this lead to that same old conundrum—-is this promise based on sheer ignorance of the Constitution or awareness that such a law would be unconstitutional but is promised anyway, or to put it accurately, a lie? And once again we see the value of the word “and”.
Anyway, there is a good article on her lie and the harsh ugly truth she and her fellow travelers lie about.
I wonder how the screeching Left would reframe this statement to mean it calls for “fascism”
There was a shrill whine complaining that “we” accuse ALL Democrats of lying and my response that no, many just believe the lies they are told but do not themselves knowingly lie was met with the wholly predictable gambit of a challenge to identify all the liars. (This is, by the way, a tactic RIGHT OUT OF THE LEFTIST PLAYBOOK—available now in your local library or on Amazon)
Here is an example of a typical Democrat voter. She is making statements that are not true, but she is not lying because she does not know they are not true and is not making them in an effort to deceive or mislead anyone. While the statements are false, she believes them to be true. This means that someone else has been lying to her, without a doubt “someone else” in the Complicit Agenda Media.
This is a short statement, but in it a presumably serious voter expresses her concerns over things that simply are not true. She states that Republicans purged people from the voter rolls but does not seem to understand that only invalid registrations were removed—dead people, people who had moved, people who had given false addresses to register, etc. Not just “people”. Her statement appears to imply that she believes “Republicans” removed legitimate voters from the rolls, and also that this is linked in some way to “voter suppression”. She then parrots the Leftist narrative that the Supreme Court only approved of this (“said that was a good thing”) because it is “conservative”. This is the expression of the lie that the Court makes its decisions on political identity rather than on simple application of the law.
And then, of course, there is the belief that “there is no real evidence anything bad happened in 2020” because of the lies told to her, again probably by the Agenda Media because she doesn’t appear to be a person who seeks out information from other sources. When people like her are told of even some of the overwhelming body of hard evidence of something “bad” happening in the 2020 election they are stunned, usually then just rejecting it because it goes against the lying narrative that has been pounded into them by sources they trust and believe.
This is an excellent example of both the volume and the power of lies and the influence of those lies on the voting decisions of Americans. In just a few words this person, presumably an honest and sincere person, parroted four different lies she had been fed. Multiply her by many million voters and you have a Leftist government in power, placed there via a complex structure of lies, continuing to act in concert with Leftist ideology (which is antithetical to that of our Constitution and very foundation as a nation) and leading, as we just saw in four short years, to tyranny, abuse of power, economic misery and loss of national security and sovereignty.
When Democrat voters are asked about their decisions, these decisions are almost always based on similar deceptions they have been fed and then believe. But when we point out the foundation of lies that forms and supports the entire Democrat election effort, that flips a switch and there is instantly a shrill outcry of fury at having this pointed out, and the flying monkey support system rushes in to try to head off rational discussion of this with silly challenges like “name every person who has lied” and more lies such as “you claim every Democrat is a liar”. To put it simply, these tactics are RIGHT OUT OF THE LEFTIST PLAYBOOK. (You know the one I mean—the one cited by a former presidential candidate and heroine of the rabid Left and other Leftist activists, which you can order on Amazon.)
There was a shrill whine complaining that “we” accuse ALL Democrats of lying and my response that no, many just believe the lies they are told but do not themselves knowingly lie was met with the wholly predictable gambit of a challenge to identify all the liars. (This is, by the way, a tactic RIGHT OUT OF THE LEFTIST PLAYBOOK—available now in your local library or on Amazon).
You know, I went to Amazon and searched for Leftist Playbook and there is no book of that title.
But as far as lying, you yourself yesterday referred to “the cascade of increasing dishonesty that IS the Left.” Sounds to me like you mean a lot of people, as in everyone you consider to be to the left of whatever you are.
And in this thread, Cluster said that “Democrats” have “mastered” cheating. Sounds like he means a whole of people to me.
there is no book of that title There is no book titled “The Fascist Playbook” either but you keep citing it as if it is something real. The book I referenced IS real, it DOES exist, and it IS available on Amazon. I never said the title was “The Leftist Playbook” but just described its contents thus. Hillary Clinton did base her thesis on it and referred to its author as her hero, and he is quoted and cited by many radical activists.
I am quite clear in my observation that Leftism’s appeal is one of dishonesty. The core ideology of the Left is based on wishful thinking and deeply flawed analysis of economics and human nature, but its appeals to the people are wholly dishonest. In any election cycle but especially in this one, this dishonesty IS cascading, as the lies aren’t doing the job as well this time around so have to be expanded, elaborated and repeated even more shrilly with even more vitriol and intensity. What something “sounds like” to you is wholly immaterial to me, given your established history of defective comprehension of what is actually said after it has been run through your distortion filters and turned into something you find tasty.
I don’t know the ratio of basically decent honest Democrats who have just fallen for the lies and let themselves be guided by falsehoods compared to the active liars like you. I just know that every justification any Democrat has given for voting for Harris has been a lie, even if the person believes it to be true. I just posted a quotation from a woman explaining why she is voting for Harris and deconstructing the four lies in that short statement that show her political belief system to be based on dishonesty. I did not say SHE was lying. Do try to keep up.
Democrats HAVE mastered cheating. As for how many people that includes, I don’t think anyone really knows, but it is a lot. Not a “whole of people” but a whole lot of people. Read this and look at the analysis of the various foundations and NGOs and so on and the intricate web of intersecting relationships among their leaders and see if you can sort out how many are included in just this subset of cheating enablers. Then there are the registration form forgers, the illegal ballot harvesters, the bogus ballot printers and the crooked vote counters, the election officials who accept fraudulent registrations, as well as things like publishing the passwords to electronic vote counting machines by a corrupt Secretary of State. That is a whole lot OF people, but not a “whole people”.
I can see that you envy skillful semantic manipulators but you’re not there yet.
There is no book titled “The Fascist Playbook” either but you keep citing it as if it is something real. The book I referenced IS real, it DOES exist, and it IS available on Amazon.
When I referred to something as coming out of the fascist playbook, I wasn’t referring to a book. I never capitalized “fascist playbook” as if it were a book title, in case you hadn’t noticed. I was using the word playbook as in a stock of usual tactics or methods.
Anyway, apparently The Leftist Playbook is available on Amazon, but not by that title, and it is so secret that one can’t actually write its title for fear of who knows what.
Keep flailing, little Liberal. Keep flailing. Your obsession with nitpicking and bickering is truly something to behold. Of all the serious topics discussed here you have to quibble about a book title. (Hint: ask Cluster if he can help you out. He has referenced this book many times, though not in admiration, right here on this blog.)
so secret that one can’t actually write its title OR, on the other hand, famous and well-known.
And I didn’t use those words as a title, either, just a scornful reference to what you seemed to believe was a real thing no matter what it might be called. I never capitalized “fascist playbook” as if it were a book title, either, but used all caps to emphasize the silliness of the claim.
Your obsession with nitpicking and bickering is truly something to behold.
I’m the nitpicker? lol
It’s hilarious that you think you’re being clever by withholding the title of a book you refer to as The Leftist Playbook. And by golly, Cluster has referred to this book many times! Right here on this blog! Is he also afraid to state its title? Like, is this the Voldemort of books, the book that shall not be named? Will you be struck with a curse if you write its name on this blog?
quibblequibblequibblebickerbickerbicker It’s just so easy to pull your chain.
“afraid” to state a title? Oh, get over yourself. If you think there is anything about you that generates fear, you are even more delusional than your history would indicate, and that is saying something. Of course, you could have looked up the subject of Hillary Clinton’s thesis—after all, you’re the one who is always telling us to look up something you don’t know enough about to explain. I even looked it up to see if it would beyond your ability to do the same, and I kinda think maybe you could do it. It might stretch your abilities—after all, it did take me two minutes—but I have faith.
The point is not the title of the book, but your silly insistence that there is some fascist playbook that is somehow full of examples of incipient fascism when there really IS a playbook for Leftist shenanigans . Your imaginary “playbook” is just a silly slogan you think is compelling, and mine exists and is in use daily by radical activists who happily credit it for their tactics. In other words, I am pointing out that you are ignorant and full of hot air.
I told you Hillary called the author her hero, I repeated that it is popular with radicals, and the clues just keep flying over your head faster and higher than Kamala’s heels when the legislature is in session. I’ll bet you’re fun at parties.
The point is not that I am afraid to name the book.
The point is that you are dumb and ignorant and too lazy to look it up, preferring your default reaction to everything of hostility and personal attacks. Just because I am having fun with this doesn’t mean I am “afraid” to name the book. It’s just too entertaining to watch you trying to make a big deal out of it.
The point is not the title of the book, but your silly insistence that there is some fascist playbook that is somehow full of examples of incipient fascism when there really IS a playbook for Leftist shenanigans.
I told you I wasn’t referring to a literal book (you remain confused on that point), and that you are afraid to state The Leftist Playbook’s title.
But speaking of books, you might like the book How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them. I haven’t read it, but perhaps it will offer you an actual “playbook” as you define it.
I recently read Ian Kershaw’s Hitler biography. It’s about a thousand pages and is considered the definitive account of Hitler written in English. You might like that one, too.
Another easier read is In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin by Erik Larson. You should check that one out and let me know what you think.
I’m not confused and your reading list does not impress me. There is no doubt in my mind that you will only read books that reinforce your entrenched convictions and as I think they are either wrong or facile and based on toxic irrational feelz your choices do not appeal to me. Read a couple of books by Thomas Sowell (particularly “Conflict of Visions” which explains the core difference in worldview that leads some to the Left and some to the Right) and Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism” with its extensive bibliography and excellent research and historical content and then get back to me, mmmkay? Address point by point the elements of Kimberley Strassel’s “Resistance At All Costs” and you might find yourself in an actual grownup discussion. Not holding my breath, however.
I’m not “afraid” to name the book, just waiting for the penny to drop.
I’m not “afraid” to name the book, just waiting for the penny to drop.
OMG, I’m dying. lol
But seriously, thanks for the book recommendations. Speaking of Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism, you might want to read his article published thirteen years later, in which he writes:
But there’s one important claim [in Liberal Fascism] that has been rendered utterly wrong. I argued that, contrary to generations of left-wing fearmongering and slander about the right’s fascist tendencies, the modern American right was simply immune to the fascist temptation chiefly because it was too dogmatically committed to the Founders, to constitutionalism, and to classical liberalism generally.
Almost 13 years to the day after publication, Donald Trump proved me wrong.
https://thedispatch.com/newsletter/gfile/what-i-got-wrong-about-fascism/
Well, once Jonah went over to the Dark Side I guess he needed to try to justify that somehow, but griping about being “too committed to the Founders, to constitutionalism, and to classical liberalism generally is a pretty feeble criticism. Oh no! Those wascawwy wepubwicans are too committed to running the country according to its rule of law! Oh me, oh my, what villains! It’s almost as if they have the courage of their convictions! No wonder we can’t stand them!”
He does admit that the Left had depended on fear mongering and slander about the Right’s alleged fascist tendencies, but he was too deeply immersed in his own mental fever swamp to realize that in his own book he had explained that the “fascist tendencies” were all on the Left, not on the Right. In his book he explained, in detail, the technical differences between Left and Right, the former being a political system based on collectivism, submission to a massively powerful Central Authority (“the State”) and consolidation of power in the hands of elites who rule from the top down, while the Right is a system based on the opposite of those political models.
By definition, the American Right is a system based on strict allegiance to the rules of the Constitution and its premises and philosophies, and after that the model is one of individualism, personal responsibility and lack of authoritarianism. It is the antithesis of authoritarianism. And the Constitution itself is a remarkably libertarian concept and document, with few explicitly stated duties and restrictions after which the citizens can make their own rules. In other words, it is internally inconsistent to claim that fascism, an inherently authoritarian system in which the State, as explained by Mussolini, “is All”, can in any rational way be compared to a system based on individual responsibility and liberty which abhors and abjures the concept of a ruling Central Authority.
It’s just that when Trump broke him, somehow shattering his old ethics and integrity, he lost track of the arguments he had once made and just fell into the trap of mindlessness and snarling at his newly Invented Other. And he hasn’t made a lick of sense since then, just babbling TDS theories and fantasies and trying to rewrite his own history to convince people (and probably himself) that he didn’t say what he said and if he did then he didn’t mean it.
So you’re still recommending that I read his book despite him having admitted he got a fundamental claim wrong? I guess the extensive bibliography and excellent research and historical content make up for it.
OMG you manage to turn everything around, don’t you? I have never seen anyone who can distort a simple statement as thoroughly as you do. I did not say he “got a fundamental claim wrong”. He didn’t even say he got a fundamental claim wrong. I did not say it, I did not imply it, I did not hint at it and I left no room in anything I said for anyone else to insert that. What he said, in his evasive effort to create the impression he no longer believes what he believes, to pander to his new tribe, is that he thinks the effect of one man, Donald Trump, has overridden the built-in guide rails of conservatism that make fascism impossible. And this, as hard as he tries, is just plain dumb. He didn’t even try to defend that stupid statement, just let it sit there, knowing that Lefties don’t analyze things and will be happy with what they think is a Trump slur.
You constantly bring up that conundrum—–really really dumb or just so inherently dishonest he can’t for the life of him write anything that is true? And once again I have to embrace the power of “and”.
Goldberg wrote what he wrote. It was right. It was correct. It was brilliant. It was insightful. It was beautifully researched and crafted and presented.
And then something in him broke, as his overwhelming loathing for Donald Trump overrode everything he once stood for. He’s put himself in the awkward position of having to ingratiate himself with the tribe he once alienated by pointing out its defects, because he cut himself off from his old life when he snapped and plunged into full-blown TDS, so he has had to tiptoe around to try to square the circle and kind of vaguely in a way but not really reject what he wrote to pander to the group he wants to embrace him. But he stops well short of actually renouncing it, just weasel-wording around it a little and then going to his new default of “it’s just Trump”.
But even his effort to distance himself from what he wrote admitted that the Right’s framework makes it “simply immune to the fascist temptation chiefly because it was too dogmatically committed to the Founders, to constitutionalism, and to classical liberalism generally.”
We see a lot of that erosive nature of irrational personal loathing of one man nudge people into self-destructive indefensible babbling.
I did not say he “got a fundamental claim wrong”. He didn’t even say he got a fundamental claim wrong. I did not say it, I did not imply it, I did not hint at it and I left no room in anything I said for anyone else to insert that.
Good grief. Did I say or imply that you said that? No! I said “despite him having admitted he got a fundamental claim wrong.” Him. Not you. Are you a him?
As far as the word “fundamental,” fine. Let’s go back to Jonah’s own words. “But there’s one important claim [in Liberal Fascism] that has been rendered utterly wrong.”
An important claim. Utterly wrong.
Now you say he’s gone to the dark side, simply because you don’t agree with him. Really? Maybe he had it wrong in the first place. Actually, events have shown that he had it wrong, which he now readily admits.
You write:
By definition, the American Right is a system based on strict allegiance to the rules of the Constitution and its premises and philosophies, and after that the model is one of individualism, personal responsibility and lack of authoritarianism. It is the antithesis of authoritarianism.
Fine. And Jonah would have agreed with you… before Trump. He writes:
I believed that conservatism was too committed to the Constitution, to classical liberalism, to the rule of law, to tolerate the use of extralegal violence and mob intimidation. I still believe that those dogmas are a bulwark against fascism, or a tyranny that goes by any other name. What I no longer have faith in is the right’s commitment to those dogmas.
He no longer has faith in the right’s commitment to the dogmas you claim the right believes in because he saw with has seen with own eyes what happened with Trump and what happened to people like you. Are we to believe that Goldberg suddenly became stupid? Or blind? Or that, in your words, his “old ethics and integrity” were “shattered” by Trump?
I don’t think so. Frankly, it’s the other way around.
Nope. Not happening. Not going down another bicker path to another topic for your pathological need to quibble and drag people into endless meaningless ways for you to get attention. Now you want to bicker about Jonah Goldberg, or Trump, or whatever, using it all as a springboard for your other obsession—-exhibiting the toxic nature of your persona. So sorry this is the only way you can convince yourself of your relevance, but you’re going to have to go back to playing with yourself.
Time to say bye-bye, Bickerboy.
TRUMP USES IMAGERY OF HITLER! THE CONCLUSIONS ARE UNAVOIDABLE!

Peanut update from Jeff Childers:
(Emphasis – mine)
This story resonates on so many levels, all of them important.
The most obvious one is the pain felt by the people who loved this little animal, had bonded with him, shared their lives with him, and then saw a brutal regime terrify him (which is why he tried to defend himself) and then kill him. This aspect touches on the dual pain and suffering of the humans and the pet.
But even more sinister, and significant, is the graphic illustration of power gone mad. It is the illustration of the concept that the government is there to control every aspect of peoples’ lives and is the ultimate authority, and owes no respect or consideration to the people.
The fact that the initiating act was about a small rodent doesn’t really matter. What matters is the Gestapo-like actions of every government official in this shameful experience. The knee-jerk reaction that failure to have a permit approved (ignoring the fact that it had been properly filed in a timely manner and that the only reason it had not yet been approved was the failure of the government officials in charge to act promptly) justified a search warrant and what amounted to a SWAT raid is all we need to know about the mentality of these government officials.
We have seen other examples of this kind of bizarre application of force to situations which, in saner times, would have called for a polite request from authorities for the people involved to appear to have their accusations processed. We keep seeing armed SWAT teams sent to deal with claims of process violations where there has never been a hint of possible violence, and we can’t help but see this as the evolution of an American Gestapo.
From the decision to deal with this with a search warrant to the decision to send armed officers in to execute the warrant to the rough treatment of the animals involved to the abuses of the people involved to the ransacking of the house for FIVE HOURS even after the animals had been taken to the efforts to humiliate and intimidate the people by demanding that use of a toilet be witnessed and by grilling a woman on her immigration status, the entire episode is a warning to Americans.
To actually use a beloved mantra of a blog vandal here, this is RIGHT OUT OF THE FASCIST PLAYBOOK. These are the acts of Leftist tyrants. Whether they are fascist Gestapo or Communist Stasi, the labels don’t matter. What matters is the common factor of Leftist tyranny and the belief of those in power that they are entitled to impose that power as they choose.
It is too easy to dismiss the equivalent of the knock on the door in the middle of the night that marked the terror of living under Leftist rule as something that only happened a few times in this country. We need to see it as a lesson on what can happen when we don’t pay attention to the water getting a lot hotter.
Wait – the couple was getting the paperwork done???? I hadn’t hear that aspect. Just makes it worse – they were trying to obey the Totalitarian rules and still got wrecked.
Yes, they had all kinds of permits for their main wildlife rehab center but because these two animals lived in the house they needed separate paperwork, which had been filed and was just awaiting some official final approval.
So they were legal for more than 300 animals and just a bureaucratic stamp away from being legal for the two in the house, when it was decided that these dangerous scofflaws needed to be taught a lesson and their pets terrorized, abused and killed.
Geesh! Just extra horrible now.
I understand someone informed on Peanut – that is another mark of the modern Left: if someone is doing something they don’t like, they want it stopped even if it isn’t harming them. For all their “my body, my choice” rhetoric the Left just doesn’t want people to be free…for you and me, we’d never even think that there should be an official response to some guy with a pet squirrel. We’d think it was cool and move on. I mean, I don’t want a pet squirrel…I imagine they get into everything. But I don’t care if someone else does – if having a little rodent around brings them joy, who am I to judge? Nothing doing for our Left – turn him in! Raid his house! Kill his pet!
But don’t notice they just let a rapist walk without bail for “restorative justice” reasons.
I understand someone informed on Peanut – that is another mark of the modern Left:
That’s one of the things I detest most about the Left. So many of them just can’t mind their own f*cking business.
They screech that the Right is “authoritarian” while demanding control over everyone. Evidently the sight of these people getting so much pleasure from their relationship with this cute little critter, and the admiring public that loved him and followed his antics, just grated on her till she figured she had to end it. How dare they be so happy? But she would not have been successful without the Gestapo mentality of the county officials.
Every single person in this ugly scenario is a villain, and they should all be fired and packed off to some place where they are only around others as sour, mean-spirited and bullying as they are.
And he is a major source of “information” for the low-info hate-addicted seekers of validation for their pathology
“Convicted investment fraudster and known pharma shill Martin Shkreli” scolds us with the claim that “The FDA is one of the few non-partisan agencies that does a great job”.
Tell us, Martin, what was the role of this allegedly “non-partisan” agency in the hysterical libeling of the drugs ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine in the Covid panic? What was the basis for claiming they were ineffective or even “dangerous” leading to the wholly partisan spectacle of pharmacists and non-medical actors like governors actually banning these drugs?
How many people died, needlessly, because they were denied the lifesaving prompt treatment of their condition with these safe and effective drugs, and what was the role of the FDA in their demonization and restriction of access?
And what was the basis for this hysterical overreaction to the ongoing use of these safe and effective drugs? Wasn’t it wholly partisan? Wasn’t it a reaction to the fear that President Donald Trump, in an election year, would be seen as providing leadership to the nation by telling people about safe and effective treatments that might reduce their suffering and even save their lives?
If the FDA’s participation in this witch hunt was not partisan, upon what science and/or medical information was it based?
In August 2021, to discourage people from using ivermectin to prevent or treat Covid-19, the FDA tweeted “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Serious y’all. Stop It.” and posted a similar message on Instagram. The tweet got nearly 106,000 likes.
Yet the FDA had to know that Ivermectin was developed as a drug for humans, that its developers got the Nobel Prize for its development, that it had been used safely and effectively for about 50 years all over the world and that there were abundant reports of its efficacy in early treatment of Covid. Because it is a relatively benign drug, using it is not likely to cause harm even if it does not provide complete relief from the symptoms of Covid. The specious arguments presented included the stated fear that it would be used in unsafe levels—the exact same danger of every single drug on the market, including aspirin and Tums.
The FDA and the CDC colluded with the Biden administration to undermine any perception of Donald Trump as a competent leader providing helpful information to the country, and as a direct result tens of thousands of people died and doctors lost their licenses. At the same time they promoted forcing people to take a drug that IS dangerous, hiding its dangers from the public and lying about both its efficacy and its safety, to shore up the illusion that the Biden administration was being productive and protecting the nation from a deadly scourge.
It’s a detailed expose of how big money is used to cheat to promote the Left and well worth the time to read it.
What I want to know is if we are going to pursue this information beyond the election, no matter who is the eventual occupant of the Oval Office. Are we going to file legal challenges to those 26 Secretaries of State who refused to acknowledge the proofs of corrupted registrations in their states? I think that every one of them should be sued, personally, for disenfranchisement, as every fraudulent vote steals a legitimate vote, and every one of these states should be sued for damages.
The Left is not going to voluntarily stop cheating, or trying to cheat. They will have to be forced to stop, and that starts with going after the low-level enablers, the Secretaries of State and the Attorneys General and the state legislatures, so the big money people at the top don’t have little armies at their disposal in the various states.
I suggest going to the SS site linked, above, and entering a week to see how many applications in your state had no matches in the system. For example, in Colorado just for the week ending October 12, 2024, there were 5,460 applications with no matches to the SS numbers provided and 2 that matched deceased persons.
That is, 5,462 efforts to register to vote using false identification. I don’t know if they did get registered, because I kind of doubt that Colorado would block registrations for such a silly reason as fraud. But this is Social Security’s own web site, and is just their results for ONE WEEK. For the next week in the records Colorado showed 4,440 non matches and 3 efforts to register dead people. For the same week in 2022, right before the midterm election, Colorado fraudulent registration effort numbers soared again, to 2,726 with two of them being dead.
The same week a year ago showed only 451 failures to match. Clearly there is a big pre-election push to get as many voters as possible on the rolls, resulting more than ten times the number of false applications for one week.
casper gets all swoony about Kamala’s “rallies” but I have never seen any detail about what those “rallies” consist of, other than salacious twerking and a few minutes of rap and then a speech, of sorts, scripted, by Harris. And we know that many of these audiences were bused in, sometimes from other states, and/or paid by being on the clock thanks to union efforts while sitting in chairs in her audiences.
I finally saw an actual detailed account of a Trump rally. If you take the time to read this you will see that very important issues were addressed, in detail, by several people. This was not just a cheerleading exercise, but a discussion of serious problems that were outlined and how they would be addressed in a Trump administration. (emphasis mine)
In other words, a Trump rally is packed with information and ideas as well as illustrations of what Trump will do if given a chance. I wonder how this compares to a Harris “rally”.

I know it would be bold and daring and out of character for you, but you could actually watch one of her rallies and form your own opinion rather than relying on someone else providing you with the details.
Not bold or daring, just a waste of time. I have seen large enough segments of a couple of Harris “rallies” to realize they are long on fluff and superficiality with some shallow vague concepts thrown in and presented as policies, to people who are mostly there not to see Kamala but whoever she is touting as bait that day to get butts in the seats. And then the same canned speechlet with the same silly lies, sometimes from a candidate who appears to have self medicated before appearing.
If someone wants to provide me with details I’ll be happy to look at them. I notice you couldn’t be bothered.
You’re right. I’m not going to bother.
Oh, BTW—remember the breathless claims of obscene actions by Trump with a microphone? And no supporting video anyone could find? I found a video of him pretending to stretch out a too-short mic stand and thought maybe that was what the howling was about, but they kept coming back to claims of miming oral sex with a microphone.
Then I found this, which explains everything:
But the headline, the headline, the headline. The trolls don’t need more than a headline and a lie from one of the media masters of propaganda to go howling to the blogs drooling with delight over this “scandal”.
Happy election day … Dixville Notch NH could be an early indicator, they split their vote 3-3, in community that always goes for Democrats. IIRC Biden won 6-0
Re: Rocks comment of actually watching a Kamala rally. I have and it was like watching someone running for Student Body President. Full of platitudes, empty promises, lies, and of course a lot of anger towards the opponent. I’ve been engaged in politics for over 40 years and I have never seen a worse candidate on the stump. Ever. And that includes Dan Quayle.
Trump wins with about 300 electoral votes. I think Trump wins NV, AZ, GA, NC, and PA
Cluster, one of these days you might tell poor Rocks the name of that book I have been talking about. You know, the famous book by the famous author that the radicals love so much, the playbook for radical Leftists., the one Hillary wrote her thesis on. It was fun to toy with him for a while, but eventually it got too sad to continue. It’s just not rewarding to mess with a kid from the short bus, and besides, it’s just too easy.
