GOP Anti-Trumpers Look More Foolish All The Time

By Rob Meyne

Formerly Republican anti-Trumpers love to act superior to members of the Party to which they were previously loyal. Nonsense. They aren’t smarter, more principled, or better than Trump voters. They are less so.

The least courageous thing a person could have done in 2024 was to abandon the principles they used to claim to have and vote for Harris or even sit on the sidelines.

GOP Anti-Trumpers used to support lower taxes, smaller government, a safer world, lower risk of nuclear war, free speech, less censorship, and more freedom. Now they throw all of that away so they can strut around and pat themselves on the back for turning on their Party and country.

Every person who is serious about politics has voted for people they didn’t like, just because they were better than the alternative. There are no perfect options. I never liked McCain but voted for him because he was better than Obama. I supported Rubio for president but when Trump got the nomination, I worked to elect him. Every election is a binary choice. Harris would have been a disaster in the White House from which we would never have recovered.

It took courage for Americans to stand with the best candidate in 2024, while running from Trump was the worst kind of hypocrisy and cowardice. Lots of anti-Trumpers think they are cool, wise, and morally superior. What a joke. Trump’s record was clearly superior to Biden/Harris. If anti-Trumpers think it is more important to have someone who doesn’t send mean Tweets than someone who is trying to prevent nuclear war, God help them.

It is laughable to see anti-Trumpers virtue-signaling. They are the types who want coveted invitations to the best parties and to eat lunch at the cool kids’ table. But it mostly shows they are unprincipled. The people who clung to their core values in 2024 are the real heroes. Fortunately, that was the majority. God bless each of you who had the guts not to run away from conservatism when it got tough. That is real courage.

It is astonishing how many formerly conservative Republicans have decided they are morally, factually, or intellectually superior to the tens of millions of people who recognized Donald Trump was a better president than would be Kamala Harris and then voted accordingly.

These anti-Trumpers are fortunately not a large group, relatively speaking, but what they lack in sheer numbers they more than make up for in condescension. I’ve spent my entire life with conservative Republicans who say they are patriots, loyal Americans, principled conservatives, and willing to sacrifice for the country. A few of those people (the formerly conservative ones) have now decided Trump is bad for the nation, as if voting for his opponent might have given us the second coming of James Madison rather than the intellectually bereft cackling cipher she was.

Anyone who thinks Harris would have been a better president is: one, a hardcore Marxist/leftist; two, uninformed; three, anti-Trump to the point of verifiable mental illness; or, four, all of the above. There simply is no way to factually and logically make the argument that the Biden-Harris presidency was more successful than Trump’s.

An acquaintance recently ranted that they are patriotic, conservative, and willing to sacrifice, but we should throw Trump overboard because of the recent stock market volatility. It brings to mind the famous comments from Patrick Henry, long a rallying cry for the right, when he said “ Give me liberty and a robust 401-K, or screw America, you’re on your own.” Well, maybe that isn’t exactly what he said.

Solving long-term challenges facing America will not be easy or quick. Our national debt is crippling and not one Democrat or old-school Republican has a solution. Fraud and waste is out of control. The border was wide open for four years and we have just learned that millions of the people who came here illegally were given social security numbers.

Our military was not meeting recruitment goals and was more concerned with the color of our soldiers than with their lethality. Record drug deaths and historic inflation have become the norm. And our young women have been told they have to learn to like showering with, and competing against, biological men. What could go wrong?

In three months, we’ve made tremendous progress. But curing the ills of the last four years will take time and courage.

If you’re whining about the value of your portfolio and, after 90 days, are determined to brand Trump a failure, please, just go ahead and join the Democrat Party. Goodbye and good riddance. There is no shortage of people who pretend to be patriotic until the road gets tough. Just leave. We will both be happier if you do.

In the Weirdest Campaign On Record, the Best Decision is Still Obvious

By Rob Meyne

  • Oct. 30, 2024
  • 5-min read

The campaign has entered its last week. One certainty is that historians, if there are any left allowed to think and speak freely, will look back at this as perhaps the most extraordinary American presidential election.

The party in power spent more than three years claiming their president was mentally competent and up to the job. They argued, in contradiction of all evidence, that Joe Biden was fit, energetic, quick, and logical. The completely worthless Joe Scarborough wanted us to believe that Biden did cartwheels down the hallways in the West Wing, while juggling chainsaws, translating the Washington Post into Aramaic, and calculating the square root of Pi in his head.

It was like everyone in the media and the Party claimed Jabba the Hut wasn’t really overweight. When Biden’s senescence became too clear to deny, in the June debate, they decided he had to go. It always strains credibility when someone who has been claiming one thing is true for years on end suddenly switches their story completely. “Joe’s just fine” became “he has to go.”

Notably, the furor within the Democrat Party revealed a lot about their priorities. The discussion from their leaders was entirely about how Biden’s frailty affected their campaign. Not one person in Democrat leadership ever spoke about the good of the nation. Not one leader ever made a substantial argument that Biden had to leave because it was risky for America, and the world, to have an incompetent person, non-compos menses, with his finger on the nuclear button.

No. They only had to shoot Biden because he would have trouble winning the campaign. They cared about their power, but not the nation’s well-being. As the Democrats claim they are only concerned about preserving democracy, that is worth remembering.

Biden, the candidate who won the open Democrat primary process, receiving 14 million votes, was unceremoniously tossed aside by a self-appointed elite group of Democrat leaders and their billionaire donors. The American leftist oligarchy didn’t even cling to a pretense of openness or fairness. They installed in the presidential race a woman who has never received a single vote for the presidency.

Nor has she distinguished herself professionally. When choosing her, Biden didn’t ever claim she was best qualified to be president. He said he selected her primarily based on her sex and race, rather than on merit. He said it. Believe him.

Then, she spent four years in the vice presidency earning notoriety only for her failure to achieve anything related to two subject areas of which she was in charge: bringing broadband to rural America and securing the border. She is without accomplishments in these or any other discernible areas.

Harris is running as BOTH the proud owner of the four years of the Biden-Harris Administration AND the person who represents change. It is like having El Chapo encourage you to go to rehab. It makes zero sense.

Donald Trump has, to the chagrin of a lot of former Republicans and Republicans in Name Only (RINOs), dominated the GOP for a decade. He is the most unlikely of conservative leaders and not someone whose appeal to the working man is easily explained. I guess if millionaires like Obama can lecture us that too many Americans are rich, Trump can appeal to the average voter in Terre Haute. We find our heroes where we can.

Another oddity from 2024 is the GOP nominee has been the target of two, “count ‘em,” two, assassination attempts, being shot in one and narrowly escaping the other. The FBI, Secret Service, and DOJ continue to tarnish their reputations through incompetence on the job and cover-ups and lies to Congress and the public.

If you believe anything the FBI tells you, at this point, you probably think Ed McMahon is still going to send you a sweepstakes check. The FBI has released little information about the assassin in PA, even though the dribs and drabs that have come out raise more questions than they answer.

As it stands, we are to believe that a 20-year-old punk, with no formal training, was able to construct explosive devices, operate encrypted phones, elude the most prominent executive protection service on the planet, and kill a bystander while almost killing, and injuring, a former president. All this more easily than you could get Hillary to take a bribe.

Trump’s record as president is sterling compared to Harris/Biden. No reasonable person would look at the economic, crime, immigration, health, drug, or foreign policy landscape and say, “at least it is better than under Trump.” You cannot factually make a reasonable argument for Harris over Trump. It can’t be done.

All you can do is pile on top of Trump’s existing flaws, real and imagined, and claim they disqualify him from consideration. Trump has deficiencies, certainly, but so does Harris. One must willfully ignore Harris’s record, positions, and foibles to argue that her opponent’s flaws make her the better choice.

No competitive election is ever a choice where only one side should be evaluated. Logical and factual electoral choices are made in the context of the alternatives. If they are not made that way, they are not logical or informed. Anyone who says they must vote against Trump regardless of the other option is not making an intelligent decision. That simple.

This year will answer the question of whether an incumbent president or VP of the following description can win the presidency: they have a dismal track record, no significant achievements, issue positions most Americans abhor, aren’t capable of doing mainstream interviews, and refuse to even hold a press conference.

Having spent her entire service as VP trashing half of America, and suggesting that anyone who raises information that is inconvenient to them should be censored, Harris is not credible presenting herself as a unifier.

As America has learned more about Harris, we have found there is very little “there” there. She is like a glass onion; every layer that is pulled away reveals more of the vacuity of her core.
There is a better alternative to Harris. There is not a perfect one, just one that is clearly preferable for the nation.

Democrats are the Anti-Democratic Party of Election Deniers

By Rob Meyne

Many of the common beliefs driving today’s political events are based on things that are simply not true. Unfortunately, the mainstream media promotes them non-stop, and it is easier to accept them than to do your homework.

Most notably, it is not true that Trump is a unique threat to our system of government. He is not alone in fighting to win the election using every legal avenue possible.

He has never been convicted of a single illegal act regarding the election. Not one. Democrats have charged him with crimes, many unrelated to the election, and those cases are slowly falling apart. No reasonable person believes the charges raised against him are driven by anything but political interests.

He has not been convicted of doing anything illegal regarding the 2020 election. Nor has a single piece of evidence been offered – not one – that he directed any violent efforts on January 6 or that there was a plan to prevent a vote by electors. (If you think there is proof of that, send it my way. I won’t hold my breath.) Again, NO such evidence exists. That is why neither he, nor anyone else, has even been charged with insurrection. Yet the media (and many of you) claim it to be true.

He is not the first to go to court, try to make sure all his votes are counted, or that they were cast legally and constitutionally, or to show the media and governmental agencies conspired to keep information from voters. In fact, we know the FBI, among others, interfered with social and traditional media to make sure they buried stories that could have hurt Biden and helped Trump. The FBI had Hunter’s laptop and knew it was real, contained evidence of potential crimes by the Biden’s, and kept the information from the voters. THAT ALONE is reason to justify the statement that the 2020 election was unfair, corrupt, and that federal agencies interfered with it.

The Democrat Party has challenged the results of EVERY presidential election they lost this century. Democrats have claimed the elections were stolen, encouraged electors to change their votes, have challenged nearly every effort to secure our elections, and even tried to get a national law that would prohibit asking for vote ID. In California, the Democrat governor has forbidden localities from requiring voter ID.

In the meantime, there is a nationwide effort, funded by the Harris campaign, Democrat voters, the DNC and leftist groups, to challenge a Trump win. They have already prepared, and in some cases filed, actions to challenge the 2024 election results IF Harris loses. Marc Elias is the single most prominent election denier in America, and Harris’s legal chief. He has made a fortune by challenging free and fair elections, and he isn’t shy about it.

If you are one of those who truly believes Trump tried to “overturn” an election and the other party never does is either willfully uninformed or bigoted. Sorry. Just the facts. If you value your citizenship, care about your families, and love this country, it is time to rethink your pre-conceived notions and vote for the person with the track record who did the better job as president.

He had four years to try to be a dictator and did not. Harris had four years to try to solve our problems and only made them worse. It is not hard to make the right decision.

Below if one article about the Democrat efforts to challenge the 2024 election if they lose it, including a few points showing where they have done so before. The Democrats are ALREADY planning to challenge this election based solely on whether they win.

With apologies, if you believe the Democrats are on the side of democracy, and the GOP is not, you have drunk the leftist Kool-Aid. This is a new year, a new election, and a new opportunity to help save the nation.

Harris and Biden Have Made America More Dangerous

By Anthony Trevlac

  • Sept. 29, 2024
  • 3-min read

The Biden-Harris administration opened the border on day one. It was an intentional, strategic, and unprecedented action intended to do only one thing: get more Democrat voters in the country.

Please don’t be among those who believe even for a second that there are any altruistic motives behind their open border policy. If you believe Democrat leadership (or even most Republicans) do things primarily because they care about you, then you haven’t learned much in life.

Ten to twenty years ago, every Democrat leader was adamantly opposed to illegal immigration. Obama, Biden, Schumer, and Clinton all gave speeches laying out the threat posed by illegal immigration. They swore to protect our borders, enforce immigration law, protect American jobs, and keep our communities safe.

Why did they change their minds? One word: power. Democrat leaders looked at shifting patterns in voting behavior, and the unpopularity of the Democrat philosophy among working class Americans. They realized their best chance to build a majority was to flood America with non-citizens. This was a startling, craven policy reversal that had no benefits for the country or our citizens, but tons for the Democrat Party. These aliens would then be able to vote (although illegally) in our elections and would almost certainly be granted citizenship eventually.

Harris has already endorsed citizenship for all of the people here illegally.

Actions speak for themselves. Democrat elites could not care less about the damage unrestrained immigration has done to America. It has led to record drug overdoses, violent crimes against Americans, an erosion of the very value of citizenship, and it has fueled slavery and child sex trafficking. Harris thinks people should be rewarded for violating our laws and endangering your families.

The Biden Administration recently admitted they have completely lost track of 320,000 unaccompanied children they have let over the border. These are helpless, minor children our government brought in that have become lost in the nation, with untold thousands lost to prostitution, abuse, and slavery.

THAT is the Harris record. THAT is reason enough to make sure Harris never again sees the inside of the oval office.

Trump is continually criticized as racist because of his statement on immigration. The left calls people racist when they can’t win an argument based on facts. His statements on the issue are factual, reasonable, and stunning in their honesty.

One of the reasons many people like Trump is because of his authenticity. He says things others don’t have the nerve to say. Even if you don’t always like what he says, you feel like you know where he stands.

He points out, accurately, that a lot of criminals and terrorists have been welcomed into the U. S., unvetted, and that Americans have been assaulted, raped, and killed by them. That much is undeniable. It is not racist to point out that Americans have been the victims of these crimes.

Trump has never said “all” illegal aliens are criminals. When he speaks of dangerous people coming here illegally, he is referring – duh – to the people who are dangerous. Only people who intentionally try to misrepresent his positions believe he is against all immigration. He has said any times he wants immigrants to come here, but he wants them vetted and going through a legal process. In today’s irrational, emotional, fact-free political climate it is considered racist to say people should obey the law.

It is also factual to say that none of the people killed or assaulted by illegals – people like Laken Riley – would still be alive if our borders were secure. The person who killed Riley was let in by Biden & Harris. She would be alive today if Harris and Biden were not in office.

Today Biden’s own ICE officials released data showing we have let in about 425,000 known criminals, including 15,000 murderers and about 13,000 rapists. This is what Harris and Biden’s own government says. It is not racist or bigoted theories; it is not lies from conservatives. This is what they ADMIT.

The issue is not now, and never has been, whether illegals commit more crimes than anyone else. That doesn’t matter. What matters is that 100% of the crimes they commit are preventable. Every. One.

If you can’t understand that and why it is so important to get someone (not Harris) in the White House who has shown they will secure the border, then God help you. And us.

Laken Riley’s blood is on Harris’s hands. And if we don’t work to keep her out of the presidency, it will be on ours, too.

Americans Led the Fight Against Global Slavery

By Anthony Trevlac

Elon Musk is a giant of common sense, facts, and free speech. He may have done more, by purchasing Twitter, to protect free speech than anyone alive. His courage and comments displayed in this interview with the hapless and clueless Don Lemon are spot on.

The left’s power depends on as many of us as possible feeling victimized and powerless. They say very little positive about America and do everything they can to divide us.

Most conservative Americans don’t look at other people primarily in terms of race or sex. Most leading Democrats do. They have invented this horseshit fiction called “white privilege,” which is itself a racist and bigoted view. It makes no sense to say all Black people are inferior or that all white people are privileged. We are a nation of individuals, not groups. If a ton of people in one group do not have the same economic resources, we should spend our efforts rooting out the causes rather than constantly using race as an excuse.

But, our leaders know it is easier to blame racism for our problems than it is to courageously admit we don’t yet have all the answers. It is far easier to blame others than to admit you don’t have the answers.

Give us equal opportunity and let us live our lives. We will never become less racist by embracing policies that are racist, like intersectionality. Many in education today teach people that certain groups are denied full access to our opportunities and resources. That is simply a lie. No federal or state laws deny benefits or employment to Black people or Hispanics or Asians or anyone else.

White Americans are not the most successful or richest cohort. Not even close. Look it up and you will see that various groups with Asian heritage are far and away the most “privileged.” If we care about people, we should be looking at what makes anyone successful and promote those policies. Anyone who just assumes whites are privileged and the source of all racism are just intellectually dishonest or ignorant.

The fact that some groups underperform others is the result of an infinitely complex set of circumstances, and we should address them as we can. But, unlike what Critical Race Theory maintains, unequal results are not proof of racism. It isn’t that simple.

The goal of the American experience has NEVER been to guarantee everyone will end up in the same place, as Kamala Harris advocates, but to make sure they all have equal opportunities. It is a hugely important, fundamental distinction. Equity means equal outcomes, based on groups. It is the opposite of equal opportunity. The Biden Administration, from Day One, turned its back on equal opportunity and embraced equity, literally through an Executive Order the day he was inaugurated. (It was between 10 AM and 4 PM, so he was still awake.)

When you spend all your time looking for reasons to think America is racist, you will find them. If you look for reasons to think we are irritable, fat, mean, or rude you will find them, too.

That is exactly what we should not do. We should spend our time focusing on what is good and decent and loving. You are controlled by your dominant thoughts. If you think you will be happy, successful, and strong, you will be.

As far as slavery goes… every cohort in America has ancestors that were slaves, if you go back far enough. White people have been slaves. So have Asians, Blacks, you name it. Some Black people, even in America, owned slaves. Most of the slave trade from Africa did NOT come to America. The thing that is unique about America is the effort we made to stop slavery, not propagate it.

Slavery was a human scourge, not a uniquely American one. America was one of the earliest nations to end slavery and outlaw the slave trade. We should celebrate the fact that we fought a war to get rid of it. We should look to the future united as brothers who celebrate our mutual freedom and individuality.
When a person needs a hand, we should offer it because they are human. The issue should not be the amount of melanin in their skin, their affiliation with an “underserved” community, or their chromosomes.

If you agree with that, you have one and only one presidential candidate to vote for this year. Pick a lane.

Why the End of the American Empire is Good for the Republic

This past weekend, the Ukrainians fired missiles at Russia. It’s not the first time. U.S. fingerprints are all over this attack, too. It was yet another provocation to war with Russia. A war with Russia wouldn’t be a limited affair, despite the conceits emanating from Washington. And it wouldn’t revolve around Ukraine’s future. It would center on the fate of the American empire.
—
The Biden administration is pushing brinkmanship with Russia. Of course, that’s a monumental gamble. Washington’s defense and foreign affairs establishment is trying to win through intimidation what Ukraine isn’t winning on battlefields, regardless tens of billions of dollars in U.S. aid and hands-on support. But brinkmanship with Russia opens the door to miscalculations. Triggering a conventional war between the world’s premier nuclear-armed powers risks escalation to nuclear conflict.
—
Whatever Washington’s reasoning, it’s best to remember that America was never intended to be an empire. It was created as a republic. It was never to roam the globe on moral crusades, which, too many times, were thin disguises for power acquisition and economic exploitation. Our military was for our defense, not a profit center for special interests. We were to have a government of the people, tending to laws that made our society civil and safe. Our government wasn’t supposed to “capture” commerce but referee it to ensure that the rules of the game were fair. Government has become incessantly profligate. We were to be a free, strong, and prosperous people minding our affairs.

Perhaps the end of empire will open the way to the return of the Republic?

Biden’s Failings Make Trump Look Like A Saint

By Anthony Trevlac

  • May 24, 2024
  • 3 min read

One of the saddest and least accurate themes you hear from Dems/anti-Trumpers/Dem Socialists is that Trump is somehow uniquely despicable. As any reasonable person knows, all human beings are flawed. And Trump is often unkind in his comments and takes on unnecessary arguments. There is much about him I do not like.

The key, though, is that America was much better off under Trump if you look at metrics involving things like inflation, war, crime, drug deaths, and the open border. Trump haters, though, don’t like to talk about issues, because they know Biden’s record is indefensible. So, they tend to claim Trump is just a foul person, as if Biden isn’t.

The argument, essentially, is that Biden may be pushing us toward nuclear war, but Trump is mean, and we don’t like his tweets. Somehow, they look at this situation and conclude they should vote for Biden.

Trump’s faults would be more meaningful and persuasive IF his main opponent was better. He is not. You can admit it, or you can be willfully ignorant, your choice, but Biden is provably immoral and detestable. Plus, the evidence is overwhelming that he and his family have received many millions in direct payoffs from our foreign adversaries.

The House of Representatives has already documented – proven – the Bidens received tens of millions funneled through scores of LLCs that were created JUST TO RECEIVE the bribes. This money was not paid for any actual work done; they were just payments, and they ended up in the hands of more than a dozen family members, including Biden grandchildren. Even Hunter’s business partners have testified that Joe was part of the shakedown and that Joe received money from it. The proof is there. If you are ignoring it, you are part of the problem. Sorry.

Again, your choices are to pretend it isn’t true, be willfully ignorant, or just hate Trump so much you don’t care how horrible the other choice is.

As ONE example, consider this: Ashley Biden, his daughter, has written extensively that she was coerced into taking showers with her dad, Joe, when she was far too old for it to be even remotely acceptable. She considers herself a sexual molestation victim. And she blames Joe’s abuse of her to be the main reason she has a problem with sexual addiction. She discusses all of it in her diary, which became public, and has admitted it is hers. IT IS HER DIARY.

If we had a reasonable media, or if the American people really gave a shit about the facts and the corruption of our leaders, this would have been front page news for years. Joe would have, and should have, been driven out of office. But this story receives little attention. If you are interested, even Newsweek and MSNBC have admitted her diary is real, and she has never walked away from its content.

Hate Trump? Good for you. How you use that to justify voting for a pedophile is astonishing.

Biden also lied for years about the driver who killed his wife and kid, claiming he was drunk; he was not, and eventually Biden apologized for it. Biden said poor kids are just as smart as white kids. Biden claimed Obama was the first “clean” black man to run for high office. Biden and his AG have long argued that black Americans need special treatment because they are either too stupid or otherwise incapable of accessing legal help, using computers, or even getting ID. Biden had to drop out of previous runs for the presidency because of plagiarism. He has lied about his academic record, going to jail for supporting Nelson Mandela, and defends racism and discrimination against high-achieving Asian Americans in higher ed. Hunter Biden even paid tens of thousands in “rent” to his dad and paid his household expenses with the money he had coerced foreign interests into giving him. The list goes on.

Trump is flawed – so are you and me. Trump was excoriated for making crude comments about his treatment of women, crude “locker room” talk that is disgusting and embarrassing. THAT receives nearly daily coverage. Biden molesting his daughter, however, hardly makes a ripple in the news. If you are OK with that, vote for the “pedo.” If not, grow a spine and vote for Trump or Kennedy. But not Biden.

The nation is at risk and too many Americans are asleep at the switch.

Third Trimester Abortions are Common & the Democrats Love Them

By Rob Meyne

  • March 23, 2024
  • 5-min read

It has been said you are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. Which brings us to probably America’s most contentious issue.

The facts on abortion have been challenged recently in these pages. That is understandable because the prevailing Democratic position on abortion is horrifying and indefensible.

Remember, I don’t ask people to just believe me; I want people to learn the facts. Most of us don’t go to the trouble. But we are a better, stronger nation when people know the truth. Plus, as I have often said, conservatives usually win when the people know the truth. The left usually wins when they don’t.

So, the following is the truth. I have even included a few references. If anyone wants to challenge me, please, buckle up. Let’s go. Do your best. But, please, those who keep just saying things like “no one supports third trimester abortions,” in spite of the reality that they do, just don’t talk about it anymore if you’re going to ignore reality.

  • The Democrats are today the extreme party on abortion. While members of both parties often have more varied opinions than their leaders, key Dem leadership supports abortion through nine months.
  • In his debate with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, California Gov. Gavin Newsom — a party star and disastrous governor — said it is just up to the woman and doctor, no matter how late in the pregnancy.

In a March campaign stop in Las Vegas, Biden said he had a message for Donald Trump: “Don’t mess with the women of America unless you want to get the benefit!” Whatever that means, in the same speech he said he supported abortion through three trimesters, but later argued that was not abortion on demand. Perhaps Biden thinks there is a fourth trimester. MSNBC reported on this as did many other outlets. In May, 2022, The Washington Post ran a piece showing that Democrat Tim Ryan and Bernie Sanders both support abortion through all nine months, and that, at the time, Biden’s press secretary wouldn’t provide a direct answer to the question.

  • When SCOTUS reversed Roe in 2022, Biden was asked directly if he thought there should be “any” restrictions on abortion. He said “no.” Such clarity is hard to ignore.
  • Most Republicans, including Trump, do not support a national ban. Trump has even criticized Ron DeSantis for Florida’s six-week limit being too severe. Trump said this past week, as reported by NBC News, that he favors a 15-week limit.
  • Most importantly, IF you opposed abortion through nine months, and were directly asked about it, you would say so. Biden and Harris refuse to, because they support it.
  • More telling, the entire Democratic U. S. Senate caucus (minus Joe Manchin) in 2022 voted for a bill that would have removed all gestational restrictions on abortion. Just one Democrat opposed it. (There are a ton of articles on this, including on Apnews.com. Axios news has also reported on this.) Planned Parenthood spent millions to support it.
  • The abortion opinions of most GOP leaders are closer to the American mainstream than the opinions of their Dem counterparts.
  • Abortions are routinely performed in dozens of states in the third trimester. Seven states have NO time limits on abortion. Another 12 allow it through the whole pregnancy if it is claimed the mental, emotional, or physical health of the woman (despite what the Biden Administration says, men still can’t have babies) is at risk. If a woman says she doesn’t think she can mentally or emotionally handle motherhood, her doctor can abort. (There are many sources, but this is from the World Population Review. Go ahead, check for yourself, but save time by using a search engine that is more objective than Google, like DuckDuckGo.)
  • The difference between an abortion in the 8th or 9th month is essentially just what you do with the healthy, viable child. For an abortion, if the mother doesn’t want it, it is killed. In Nevada, where you can abort through six months, an abortion is performed by the doctor inserting shears into the mother and cutting off the child’s arms, legs, and head. The pieces are then assembled on a tray to make sure they didn’t miss anything. If this makes you sick, it should. You must be a normal human.
  • A good question is where do Americans stand? This is from a May 2022 Gallup survey. “When asked about the legality of abortion at different stages of pregnancy, about two-thirds of Americans say it should be legal in the first trimester (69%), while support drops to 37% for the second trimester and 22% for the third. Majorities oppose abortion being legal in the second (55%) and third (70%) trimesters.” Dozens of surveys over the years reflect similar data.

Leftist propagandists and abortion fans want you to believe that every woman loves abortion and it is a genuine women’s rights issue. Nonsense. Some women promote abortion, some don’t, as is also true of men.

Perhaps the least defensible bromide repeatedly offered is that only the opinion of women should matter on the issue. Not to be too gentle, but that is bigoted, sexist crap. It takes a man and a woman to make a baby. They both should take responsibility for it, love it, care for it, and determine every important decision about it, including whether to kill it. There is no logical, reasonable, or ethical argument to be made for the suggestion that men should have no vote on whether a baby lives. This may be news to some, but millions of fathers, like me, love their children and wanted them very much. Men and women should be equal partners in this journey. It is indefensible to say that your opinion on whether your own child should live ONLY matters if you happen to have a vagina.

Like it or not, by the way, the issue with abortions is not, in any way, what a woman does with HER body. Support abortion or oppose it, the issue is completely about what happens to the separate body and life that is a developing human being. That person/fetus/baby/whatever term you prefer is a totally different living thing than the mother, with separate DNA. The “my body” line sounds good but doesn’t survive even cursory examination. With apologies for speaking so clearly, it is another life, not yours.

So, the real question is this: Which party more closely represents your views? Which is more extreme? Which is better for America, policies that represent a middle ground on the issue, or those that promote unrestricted abortion through nine months?

Biden Makes It Clear:
He Doesn’t Like Us

For those keeping score at home… The “success” in Biden’s SOTU speech was that… wait for it… he didn’t fall down, soil himself (maybe he only does that when he is with the Pope), or stand for a half hour frozen without speaking. Those were the highlights.

It was not a presidential speech so much as a campaign event that revealed more than they probably intended. There may never have been a more hate-filled speech given in the well of the House. The loathing of huge swaths of Americans was palpable and hard to miss given that he yelled most of it.

If you want to give the most important and powerful job in the world to the crazy old man who lives down the street and keeps yelling at you to keep your dog off his lawn, you will have your chance this November.

Let’s add this caveat: if certain terms like “hate” offend you, or seem excessive, think of your own term. Whatever is the right word – and hate doesn’t seem too strong to me – it is clear Biden no longer even bothers to pretend he likes many of us. If he doesn’t use the word “hate,” find your own. What do you prefer? Loathes, despises, vilifies? Get out you thesaurus and have at it.

He brags about it. If you are Republican, Independent, Conservative Democrat, corporate leader, or advocate for peace or financial responsibility – just a partial list – he despises you and considers you the enemy.

The field is stripped. It could not be clearer.

It is odd to me, as a lifelong political hack and campaign communications trainer, to see the Dems rejecting a clear component of any effective speech: you want to be likable. This isn’t as sacrosanct, I suppose, as it was at one time. Most people don’t find Trump warm and cuddly. Maybe we are beyond all that. But at least Trump is clearly fond of average, run of the mill Americans. Biden makes it clear he is not.

The Republican nominee is an unlikely hero for those who love freedom. Like the Kennedys or the Roosevelts, he is a wealthy man who somehow still has a link to the common person. Sometimes a lifeline is thrown to us from an unexpected source. President Trump is spectacularly right: they are coming for you and me. They aren’t even subtle about it. Please, please be cognizant enough to realize it before it is too late.

Unless you’re a Democratic Socialist (which is like being a free slave; it isn’t possible) or just a brainless sycophant, you can’t name a major human cohort he didn’t attack. He slammed businesses and their owners, the Supreme Court, and anyone who doesn’t buy into open borders and his brand of bigotry.
Basically, if you like free speech, a secure America, or a society where we know what a woman is, Biden hates you. If you are not willing to support the racist policies they promote in the name of DEI, he hates you. If you aren’t in love with the idea of another long war, he hates you.

He did nothing to build bridges. A man who has claimed he wants to be president of all the people gave most of us a middle finger. Typically, even the most partisan presidents spend quite a bit of their speech claiming they want unity. Several years ago, it was even a key part of Biden’s address. But no more.

Today, he doesn’t even bother to make a pitch for unity. He did claim the border bill, which is dying a well-deserved death, is bipartisan, except that…. Well, it really isn’t. Mitch McConnell, who is thankfully stepping down as leader this year, and his hand-picked stooge agreed to the latest draft. It wasn’t bipartisan in any significant way, and even if it were, so what? It is a bad bill. The border bill doesn’t restrict illegal immigration, it enshrines it into law. The legislation would allow nearly two million illegals to enter the nation each year, without triggering any enforcement at all. If that is your idea of sealing the border, you belong in the open borders party. Maybe you can be the first person in America to put up a Biden sign.

This just in: having one or two GOP senators support a bill does not make it bipartisan in any meaningful sense. Bipartisanship is not a useful adjective unless it represents a sample from both parties that is sufficient to affect the process.

Pick A Lane:
America is At Risk, and We Can’t Afford the Luxury of Protest Votes

By Rob Meyne

If you’re like us, you’ve probably heard a lot of folks expressing the usual quadrennial complaint that “both candidates suck.” That may be a tad inelegant, but you get the point.

Many surveys show a huge majority of voters wish we had better choices.
You can count me among them. I’d love to be able to pick between Thomas Jefferson and Abe Lincoln. Let me know when we can work that out.

There is, however, this thing called “reality,” and it says that, barring a miracle, one of the two major party candidates will be elected president. The only relevant decision a person needs to make is this: under which of these two candidates can we reasonably expect the nation to be better off?

There is a lot of talk about the “lesser of two evils.” If one wants to look at politics in that way, be our guest. The question we would offer to inform the discussion a bit is this: in what part of life are we not faced with alternatives that are the “lesser of two evils?” Put another way, what part of your life is perfect? (My wife is perfect, and please tell her I said so.)

Most of human existence involves choosing from among two or more options, and they are never perfect. That is the nature of life, and certainly of human beings. As long as politics involves people, our choices among candidates will be imperfect. Get used to it, get over it, and next time support better candidates.

For today, let’s get back to reality.

For those who want to sit this one out – to note vote, or to vote for a third-party candidate with no chance of winning – you need to ask yourself whether the future of the country is more important than casting some kind of protest by way of a wasted vote?

If you don’t vote, no one sits and cries. No one will beg you to reconsider. No one will write it down and say, “Mr. Jones in Topeka didn’t like the candidates, so we need to do better next time.”
