  1. Transparency is the best disinfectant. Clean DC out !
  2. Three Bad Ideas Died Along With Kamala's Presidential Bid Tuesday's election of Donald Trump to his second, non-consecutive term as president has the potential to usher in major social and economic changes for the country. There is the very real possibility that the scourge of DEI may be driven from our institutions, that transgenderism will stop ruining the lives of young men and women, that women's sports will be played by women, that we can buy medicine that isn't made in China, and that American diplomacy and military might will again be respected. One thing we can be sure of is that we've heard the last blather about three very bad ideas from the left. National Popular Vote Interstate Compact Totalitarianism cannot allow freedom to exist. Our founders, straight white males though they were, realized "that government is best which governs least," and that local control of local issues was preferable to an all-powerful central government. When the Democrats realized that their hold on national power was dependent upon thin strips of the Atlantic and Pacific seaboard and most states wanted nothing to do with their lunacy the set about to fix that problem. The solution was to convince Americans that our nation was a direct democracy and there was some grave injustice involved in a president being elected while losing the popular vote. It didn't matter to them when Bill Clinton did that in 1992, but it really chapped their asses when Trump pulled it off in 2016. So they came up with the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. This, in my view unconstitutional idea (a violation of Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the US Constitution), held that the electors of the states signing on to it would pledge their electoral votes to the candidate that won the popular vote. Tuesday, Donald Trump won the popular vote. The exit polls from that election showed that the Democrat fantasy of American demography ensuring a liberal majority in the electorate was just that, a fantasy. If you think the coastal elites have any intention of pledging California's and New York's electoral votes to a future candidate like Trump, you haven't been paying attention. Supreme Court Packing When Democrat power grabs were stymied by a conservative majority on the Supreme Court, the progressive left resurrected the idea fronted by our first socialist president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, to add enough justices to the Supreme Court to give him the votes he needed to do what he wanted to do. It became fashionable for leftist legal pundits to agitate to add three or more seats to the Supreme Court to create a permanent progressive majority. You can get that Donald Trump's election guarantees that idea is dead. {snip} Ending the Filibuster The Senate, usually, is where very bad partisan ideas go to die even though very bad bipartisan ideas slip through with monotonous regularity. Ending the filibuster and allowing highly partisan legislation to pass based on a single vote achieved Holy Grail status in the last couple of years as a determined minority could block pet progressive projects. The new Senate majority leader who will not be named Mitch McConnell will have a three-seat majority. If that majority leader removed the filibuster, there would be no way the Democrats could slow down, much less stop, any of Trump's projects. https://redstate.com/streiff/2024/11/08/opinion-three-bad-ideas-died-along-with-kamalas-presidential-bid-n2181738
  3. Raw story is right 😁 Did you read past the headline ? Three paragraphs of conjecture based on the “project 25” silliness Please keep up the entertaining meltdowns, we have been waiting for November for this. 😂
  4. So Axios is saying that unnamed maga members have said project 25 is the agenda But Trump and his advisers haven’t and Goosey is claiming that we should all feel silly. Someone should ‘feel’ silly alright, Sad
  5. How embarrassing for Tibs. Still clinging to the fake narrative.
  6. Geez, once Josh wins the Super Bowl we had better start looking for a new QB, he'll be a quacking lame duck. 😅
  7. HOW can people get this crazy ???
  8. She was a whistleblower who turned over evidence of wrongdoing and she was convicted because she didn’t have permission to access it
  9. You certainly won't see much of that bogus movement by multiple states of "awarding their electoral votes to the National vote winner" rather than the state's winner. They just always assumed it would be a democrat.
  10. 🎵 Meet the new boss. . . . . . 🎶 .
  11. The same as Mike Dukakis. 😎 P-Nut Lives !!
  12. Frankly I don't care about prosecuting Biden, Obama or Clinton. They are done. But I sure would support opening a huge investigation into two people. Fauci. And California's new 'senator' Adam Schiff. Those bastards deserve it.
