Dems Blatantly Suppressing Voting Rights But No Media Mentions It

 Over the last few election cycle a constant refrain from the main stream media has been that Republicans havee been trying to take measures that would suppress votes by minorities.  I'm sire you've heard my favorite (and by that I mean the most ridiculous) complaint by the Dems and their supporters in the media, namely that new laws in Georgia prohibit anyone passing out water to voters standing in line at the polls.  For some unknown reason, it is just assumed that minorities are dissuaded from voting due to thirst while Whites in Georgia are more like camels, able to go for long stretches without water.  How ridiculous,  Still, it's just another phony claim by the Dems and their media allies.

But have you heard that the Democrats have passed new rules that will bar any delegates at the 2024 convention from New Hampshire.  That's right, the Dems are barring votes to the entire state of NH.  That's voter suppression on a grand scale,  The Dems have done this to New Hampshire voters because the DNC wants the first primary to be in South Carolina instead of NH because Joe Biden doesn't do well in NH.

Imagine for a moment what the media reaction would be to a move by Republicans to bar convention delegates from DC having a say at the 2024 convention.  It would be denounced endlessly as racist voter suppression.

Rights For Me But Not for Thee

 In general boycotts don't work.  It's really impossible to get a sizeable group to boycott a product for a long time.  Even so, boycotts remain a big tactic  of "social justice" groups.  Just a few weeks ago, the NY Times wrote a lengthy article applauding how certain advertisers would not place their ads on the Tucker Carlson show.  That's why it's so funny to watch the left wing media outlets condemn as unAmerican the current boycotts against Budweiser for its use of a prominent trans personality to promote Bud Lite.  Similarly, the same media is apoplectic about a proposed boycott of Disney for its support of extremist gay activists.  

Look, the reality is that Disney and Budweiser are free to use anyone to promote their products, just as other advertisers could chose not to use Tucker Carlson to promote theirs.  Consumers are also free to use whatever criteria they want to decide what products to buy.  It's ridicuous and hypocritical, however, for media like the Times or NBC to applaud one side and to condemn the other as unAmerican.

Lies vs Lies

 Beginner Ny in 2016 and continuing for at least 3 years, CNN and MSNBC reported every day about the ties between the Trump campaign and Russia to fix the 2016 election. By May of 2017, the special prosecutor knew that there was no such conspiracy. In fact, the dossier that was the primary “evidence “ of the conspiracy was a total fraud paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign. By August of 2017, MSNBC and CNN knew the claims of Trump Russia collusion were totally untrue. They kept reporting the lies anyway


I mention this because of the reaction today by these two networks to the Fox settlement with Dominion. Oh the horror!  Fox reported lies!  


Don’t get me wrong. I’m not in favor of tv networks reporting lies. I just can’t take the hypocrisy of the left wing networks feigned my upset at Fox when what they did was 100 times worse.

MSNBC: Mostly Silly Needless BS Coverage

 I happened tonight to tune in for a bit to MSNBC. 

What a waste of time. As has been the case thff we last 4 times I tuned in, they were discussing ghecoverage of the 2020 election results on Fox News. Really?  Is there really an audience that wants to hear nonstop coverage of an event from over two years ago?  Even stranger is that much of the MSNBC coverage of supposed lies on FNC consists of nothing more than innuendo and half truths from the gurus on MSNBC. 


No wonder the ratings on MSNBC just continue to be in the toilet. Even their core audience must be bored with this

Those Pesky Top Secret Documents

 After something like a year of listening to the mainstream media express horror about the classified documents that were at Trump's Florida home, it's interesting to see the same media response to the classified documents that Joe Biden stored at his Delaware home after leaving office as Vice President.  It's even more instructive to compare those reactions to the minimal coverage given to Hillary Clinton's illegal storage of ALL of her email correspondence as Secretary of State on a server kept in the bathroom of a computer consultants office (which included huge numbers of classified documents).

For example, Trump had documents that were under the guard of the Secret Service.  Biden's documents were in his garage which ws normally locked but unguarded.  Clinton's were in a bathroom in a completely unguarded location.

Trump's documents were part of a file that was known to the national archives which had directed additional securityfor them.  Both Biden and Clinton did not tell the government that they had classified documents.

Trump had the power to declassify the documents and he claims that he did just that.  Neither Clinton nor 

Biden had that powerr.

The jmedia went crazy over Trump docuements and has said little about Biden's.The double standard is appalling.

Elizabeth II -- Always Dignified

 Queen Elizabeth has passed away.  The news of the Queen's demise was announced in London in typical fashion:  dignified and reserved.  I'm in my seventies, but I cannot remember any British sovereign other than Elizabeth.  During her long reign, there were all sorts of events, but her basic character always came through.  She personified dignity.

I mention all this because it pains me to compare Elizabeth to the clowns that occupy the oval office in the White House.  In the years I remember, the personal qualities of our presidents have gone downhill (if such a thing is possible.)  Sure, the first president I remember was John Kennedy who apparently spent the majority of his time in office looking for new conquests in the bedroom.  He was followed by Lyndon Johnson who in his own dignified way used to show displeasure with staff or other people by meeting with them while he was on the toilet in the bathroom.  After a short term recovery of the dignity of the presidency from Nixon to Bush, we got Bill Clinton who used the Oval Office to bed interns, etc.  George W. Bush put some dignity back into the office as did Obama.  Then came Trump who seemed like the least dignified president ever.  Of course, Joe Biden is even worse than Trump.  He's blatantly dishonest, seems to lust after young girls and is just generally disgusting.

By the end of World War II, the USA had clearly become much more powerful than the UK.  Will our leaders ever manage to pass the British monarchy when it comes to acting in an appropriate manner.  It sure doen't seem like it.

It's Funny But very Sad

 Did you see Joe Biden's big speech in Philadelphia tonight?  I doubt it.  The main networks didn't carry it.  That basically means that only true believers watched it on cable news.  And did Biden address the main issues facing the country:  the failing economy being hit by inflation of the sort not seen in four decades, soaring energy prices that are squeezing those with lower incomes, the huge wealth transfer that occurred when Biden forgave student loans for wealthy college graduates (which will have to be made up for by taxing the poor and working class Americans), the Russian, Chinese and Iranian threats to our county, etc.  OF COURSE NOT!!!!!  Biden can't talk about how he's managed these crises because he hasn't done anything to overcome these problems.  Instead, Biden spoke about saving Democracy from the threat of Republicans.  Seriously, while the Democrats' toadies in the media spend 24/7 discussing a manufactured crisis about documents that Trump had in his office guarded by the Secret Service, Biden is talking about the terrible threat to Democracy posed by Republicans who have no power to speak of in Washington.  Biden is in the White House while both the Senate and House are controlled by the Dems.  What a  joke.

I certainly hope that no one fell for this malarkey (to use one of Joey's favorite words)

The speech was so ridiculous and dishonest that all I can say in response is "Let's go Brandon"!!!!!!!!
