Unforgiven Posted November 29, 2024 Posted November 29, 2024 Oakland relies on millions from the federal government. What if Trump cuts it? Lots of local services get grants from D.C. The president-elect has threatened to slash that funding in the past. https://oaklandside.org/2024/11/27/oakland-federal-funding-trump/ Here's the reason why democrats/kamala got any votes.
B-Man Posted December 3, 2024 Posted December 3, 2024 Democrats Have an Arrogance Problem By Ward Clark FTA: This is known as belaboring the obvious. But we might ask why this is the case. Republicans, conservatives, and libertarians are far more likely to be willing to enter into a calm, rational discussion. When those of us on the right of the center disagree, we tend not to take it as personally as the left does. The answer may be found in a famous quote from the late, great Dr. Charles Krauthammer: Quote Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil. For the "woke" left, the certainty of their righteousness is overwhelming. The "woke" left is convinced that people have a right to free health care and forgiveness of their student loans, the right to push transgender treatments on children, the right to have Drag Queen Story Hours in elementary schools, and they will not consider arguments to the contrary. This comes back to Dr. Krauthammer's quote. Conservatives may think liberals are stupid, but as long as the liberals aren't actually mentally impaired, they may be open to an honest discussion based on facts. Conservatives and libertarians, the people to the right of center, generally don't naturally start off being uncivil, as doing so would make the listener unreceptive. Conservatives tend to see civility as a virtue. But liberals, with their reflexive belief that conservatives are evil, react with arrogant condescension, and given their assumption, why wouldn't they? Liberals see incivility as a virtue when dealing with those whom they sophomorically see as evil. It's an interesting phenomenon and explains a lot about the state of political discourse in the United States today. https://redstate.com/wardclark/2024/12/03/democrats-have-an-arrogance-problem-n2182737
B-Man Posted December 5, 2024 Posted December 5, 2024 CHANGE? House Democrats in Open Revolt Against Aging, Out-of-Touch Ranking Committee Members. House Democrats are staging a mutiny against several long-sitting committee committee members. And the party leader in the House, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), is allowing it to happen. Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona, 76, announced that he would step down from the ranking minority leader spot on the Natural Resources Committee. Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York, 77, decided not to contest a challenge from Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland to the top Democratic spot on the Judiciary Committee. And Rep. David Scott of Georgia, 79, appears on the way out of the top Democratic spot on the Agriculture Committee due to numerous, younger challengers. All of the challengers are farther left and more radical than the old guard they're replacing. What they're promising is a change in "narrative" and doubling down on progressive issues that the American voter soundly and roundly rejected a month ago. https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2024/12/05/house-democrats-in-open-revolt-against-aging-out-of-touch-committee-chairmen-n4934860#google_vignette

Or Biden, but that COVID year is looking like an outlier. Is Trump's Cult of Personality transferable to anyone else in the Republican Party? Republicans themselves seemed to say no when good candidates like DeSantis and Haley (and for hardline Evangelicals, Pence) failed to gain traction. We'll find out for sure in 2028.

B-Man Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 No surprise. To authoritarians, Truth is the enemy. Democrats Pressured Capitol Police to Show Preferential Treatment to Officer Who Killed Ashli Babbitt by Jeff Charles The United States Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt during the events at the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, reportedly received preferential treatment from the law enforcement agency after Democrat lawmakers applied pressure. Internal emails reveal that House Democrats leaned on U.S. Capitol Police to provide extraordinary financial and professional support to Lt. Michael Byrd, the officer who fatally shot unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt https://redstate.com/jeffc/2024/12/05/democrats-pressured-capitol-police-to-show-preferential-treatment-to-officer-who-killed-ashli-babbit-n2182853

Funny, because the mainstream media probably would have found room to note something like, "who shot Babbit as she was trying to crash through a locked door leading to the Speaker's chambers."

B-Man Posted December 8, 2024 Posted December 8, 2024 Your Sunday Clarice. A Tale of Two Parties By Clarice Feldman Eighty-three years after the disastrous sneak attack on Pearl Harbor which galvanized our nation to prepare for a long fight and ultimate victory, we have a clearer picture of how Barack Obama (and through him, President Biden) destroyed his party and with it many of our institutions. We now have a leader and a plan to restore their strength. Much has been written about why the Democrats suffered such a devastating loss in the election, but I’m inclined to place great weight on the views expressed by Adam Mill in Chronicles Magazine, who argues persuasively that the Democrats’ decision-making process doomed their chances, a process unlikely to soon change. “Democrats don’t have leaders, rather they have ‘facilitators’ who balance the many competing demands of their disparate coalition, leading to a rigid script of talking points,” he argues. To keep on message is the key autocratic aim of the party, so any “single deviation from the script endangers the entire enterprise.” This explains as well as most theories why Kamala Harris’s rare public interviews devolved into bafflegab word salads. Why in the absence of good sense, the party left the border open, supported pornographic books in public school libraries, “fought for abortion of viable fetuses up until birth, and demanded free sex surgeries for illegal immigrants in custody.” By contrast, Donald Trump, who had clear views of his own on significant subjects, met with hostile reporters, political critics, and opponents. “He preserves his own agency.” The consequences of their rigid orthodoxy not only damaged their party, but caused all of us to suffer from their tactics, not the least of which is “a widespread crisis of incompetence within the institutions that sacrificed merit for ideological parity.” The party was riddled with corruption, and it spread throughout the government. As Michael Walsh has long contended, the Democrats “are nothing less than a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.” Which institutions sacrificed merit for ideological parity? Our once great schools of higher education, our military, and the nation’s public health and law enforcement agencies come immediately to mind, but the incompetency, corruption, and extravagant waste of our resources throughout the federal government, not to speak of their illegal censorship of speech and assembly, can best be explained by this analysis as well. In contrast to the generally incompetent Biden cabinet, who often rose through the ranks of those they were set to govern, President-elect Trump has reached out to some of the most forward-looking, competent, non-governmental leaders to head his government -- people like Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Doug Burgum, Howard Lutnik, Scott Bessant, Jared Isaacson, and Kelly Loeffler.
