Democrats are lauding themselves because Cory Booker talked for 24 hours in the Senate and they held on to a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. I guess they need to feel they can win.
Booker talked, I guess, about how bad it is we’re deporting people. Not quite sure where the Democrats want to go with this nationally but Booker and others are prepping for 2028 and know they need Far Left Extremist votes in the early primary States. The Left Extremists are pleased as punch with Booker over this. So, too, are they happy with those still putting trans stuff front and center. On the other hand, deporting people is an 80/20 issue for the GOP. The guy they’re highlighting at the moment – the “Maryland father” – is probably just the least-threatening person in the batches deported. But, he’s MS-13…and even if he wasn’t, he’s an illegal and now a foreigner in a foreign land so no further concern of ours…and Democrat calls to bring him back simply do not comprehend the basic American desire here – if you’re illegal, out you go.
Now, let’s not get all wine and roses here – the reason we lost in Wisconsin last night is because GOP-leaning Independents stayed home. They came out in droves for Trump…but they are so-far not coming out for the GOP. And this, IMO, is because the GOP is so-far not giving them any reason to turn out. The people who put Trump into the White House want deep, radical change…the Congressional GOP is still only taking baby-steps towards change…likely hoping they can just do the bare minimum and wait until the Trump years are over and then go back to being the losers in the Democrats political script. Ain’t gonna happen.
Trump and his team aren’t going to let it happen – while we lost last night, this was the first time the national GOP did any heavy lifting in one of these off-year State elections. It wasn’t soon enough (Democrats were blowing through Soros money on it long before it even showed on our radar), but it did happen. It was a learning experience for us. Huge strides were taken even in defeat – the GOP candidate getting more votes for a WI Supreme Court seat than any GOPer in the past (and voter ID is now enshrined in Wisconsin’s Constitution – which means we might see fewer deep Blue districts having 99% turnout with 99% for the Democrat, as we did last night; of course they stuffed ballot boxes…Democrats always do, as much as they can; but in this case, we probably would have lost even a totally honest election). Very much under the radar what is also happening is GOP voter registrations gains…at this pace, some time in early 2026 Pennsylvania will flip red…and in New Jersey the GOP gains continue to mount (and NJ is actually our best prospect this November…the Dems still have an advantage but said advantage is in low-propensity Democrat voters…a good candidate and campaign and the GOP could pull this one off). What I’m saying is that we’re still winning- and Team Trump knows the stakes: if we lose the House in 2026, the Democrats will immediately impeach. It doesn’t matter why – they’ll do it (and, of course, won’t allow a single legislative victory to us). The House for 2026 is still very much up in the air…it could go either way. Trump is going to fight for it.
Bondi is seeking 20 year sentences for people who burn Teslas…and, hey presto, Tesla burnings stop. The reason the Left always resorts to violence is because since Kent State, we’ve let the Left get away with violence. The tin soldiers and Nixon were the last time someone shot a Lefty for being a typically violent Leftist. But it isn’t right that we allow it to happen – and Team Trump is not going to allow it to happen. This is very important – the twin pillars of the Left are government subsidy and violence. Trump is attacking both…they will soon lack the money to pay for violence and even if someone writes a check for a fiery but peaceful protest, nobody will show up at the stack of pre-positioned bricks because they won’t want to do 20 years over it.
And this, IMO, is because the GOP is so-far not giving them any reason to turn out
If the fact that a Liberal Supreme Court judge is going to rule on districting, causing the loss of one or two House seats, isn’t enough “reason to turn out” then I give up on the intelligence of Wisconsin voters. Unless the state GOP failed to get that message across, and having lived with the impotent and indifferent Colorado GOP for so long I guess I can believe that maybe that was the case.
True, they should have seen the need…but these are people who largely don’t vote. They are Trumpists – we have to turn them into Base GOPers. And to do that we’re going to have to give them some red meat. Trump is…but the Federal and State GOPers aren’t.
Big move yesterday by Trump and I am a little shocked by the over reaction around the world. It’s just like Dad cut off the allowance to the kids. Fact is, every single one of these countries impose tariffs on our imports but we allow their imports in here duty free?? Not anymore. And isn’t it upsetting to realize that every President prior to Trump didn’t see a problem with that? They take our manufacturing then sell those products back to us tax free?? No wonder we are $36 trillion in debt. Patriotism is looking out for this country and its citizens. Not giving away our manufacturing and opening our borders. What the fuck is so hard to understand about that?
Very much under the radar what is also happening is GOP voter registrations gains…
Get rid of Motor Voter. (Each State motor vehicle driver’s license application (including any renewal application) submitted to a State motor vehicle authority must serve as a simultaneous voter registration application unless the applicant fails to sign the voter registration application.)
Yes, it is true that the next step after the applicant has automatically been given a voter registration application is that the application must state each voter eligibility requirement (including citizenship), (and) contain an attestation that the applicant meets each requirement, and the application states that the signature is made under penalty of perjury, but the simple act of automatically providing the application means that it is far too easy for someone unfamiliar with the language (as licenses are granted to foreigners and now in many states even to illegal aliens) to simply go ahead and sign the application without fully reading or understanding the criteria for legally registering.
There are two other parts of the law that also bother me:
Why should refusal to register be confidential, and why should the location of the registration be secret?
No voter registration should be automatically included in any state transaction, or should be linked in any way to the application for (not even issuance of) a drivers’ license. The application for voter registration should be an entirely separate and purposeful decision, not just automatically included in a very different act.
Motor Voter means an illegal alien (or any other foreign national) can apply for a drivers’ license and be automatically included in a voter registration process, and can simply check a couple of boxes and sign the document and walk out registered to vote and with a GOVERNMENT-ISSUED PHOTO ID.
Who passed this bill? Democrats. Who signed this bill? Bill Clinton. Who benefits most from this bill? Duh……
That is something I didn’t know – the secrecy…which, of course, is an invitation to registration fraud.
And that is part of the scam. There is no way to collate information, such as the number of registrations from any one DMV office to see if there is a pattern, or a pattern to how many applicants do or do not go on to register.
As for the licenses, there has to be a way to identify a license given to someone who has not proved citizenship.. A license given to a legal resident could have a border in one color, with another color for an illegal and another for someone on a temporary visa.
