Delusional Democrats... Or Liars

There's something I've noticed about corporations and actors. When they get exposed as something bad, their PR people claim the opposite. Get exposed as a low grade moron? Have people do interviews claiming you're the smartest person they know. Leave sh*tty tips? Spread the word how charitable you are. Going to ignore the book you're turning into a film? Send the choir to talk about how all you talk about is being faithful to the book. Wore S&M gear in your last five films? Tell the world you only take "strong women" roles. Does your corporation spew garbage into rivers? Talk about how you cherish the environment. Defrauded millions? Integrity. It's all that matters to you. And so on. Seriously, when someone claims they are something, you can be pretty sure that is the one thing they are not. Enter the Democrats.

The Democrats and their fellow travelers have really elevated this to an art. At times, I actually wonder if they believe the things they say. But then, what they say is such obvious crap they must know it's not true. Here are some recent examples:

Quoth the AP: "For most of his presidency, Joe Biden has ignored or minimized talk about his immediate predecessor, or, as he once called him, 'the former guy.'"

Funny, because I don't think a press conference or interview goes by where Biden or his people don't blame Trump a dozen times, by name. "It's Trump's fault" is a macro that lives on the lips of Democrats, including Biden, and comes out like a tourettes outburst.

How about this? The Democrats aren't getting credit for the infrastructure bill. Why? Quoth Rep. Scott Peters (D-CA): "We were so focused on passing the next thing, we forgot to tell people about it. And that’s a huge mistake."

Funny, because I recall the Dems and the media screaming how transformative this would be for months. For decades now, the Democrats have been about selling their few achievements like they are one step short of reaching the moon. As for passing things? Since when? When Obama could pass anything he wanted, they passed three bills which did nothing good. They use impotent Republican opposition as a shield, teasing their supporters. They don't even know what they would pass if they could. Even now, they are solely focused on theater votes to try to embarrass the Republicans rather than actually passing anything. The most awkward question of late was: "why didn't you codify Roe v. Wade when you had the chance?" Uh...

Or how about this? Did you know the Democrats are too intellectual? Check out this doozy from Florida Democrat Fentrice Driskell on why they can't beat DeSantis. Apparently, Democrats won't "lay the problems of the state at his feet." Quoth: "You don’t have to go into a dissertation. Democrats like to try to explain things. If people ask you why it costs too much on rent, blame it on DeSantis. … We can play that game too."

D.E.L.U.S.I.O.N.A.L. All I ever hear from Democrats is how Republicans are racist or sexist and have caused every evil known to man and opposed every solution. Voters can't have diarrhea without some Democrat blaming it on racist Republicans in some way. And let me tell you, I have NEVER heard a Democrat explain a damn thing. In fact, they can't because their arguments make no sense. They are the party of demonization. Yet, you'll find quotes like this everywhere: "Oh poor us, we always try so hard to be fair, to explain things, to be nice, we need to learn to fight." Good. F*ing. Grief. I would say it is so ludicrous to say that that it seems impossible anyone could believe this... and yet, many of them really seem to believe they're the party of good faith civic discussion and wonky policy. Crazy.

There are other flat out BS thoughts too. I love the idea that the GOP is nuts when it comes to vaccines, but Democrats aren't. The media and Democratic leadership have run with this. Biden even ran for President on it -- stupid Republicans who won't get vaxxed! And now that it's clear the Democrats need to change positions, the media bends the lie: "attitudes on COVID are changing beyond party lines." (real quote). Only, that was never true. There was never a party line. Half the anti-vaxers are on the left, always have been. Most of the ones I know are radical leftists. Did you know, for example, that anti-vaccine behavior was strongest in the black community? And the hippy anti-corporate community? That's as left as you can get. Yet, they don't exist in the Democratic narrative. Ditto on black gun owners... unicorns.

This dovetails with the lie that the GOP is antiscience. Let's see, the idea of stopping a procedure which may or may not take a human life (we really don't know) is anti-science. Opposing the mutilation of kids and the changing of their gender appearance under extreme adult pressure with uncertain effect is anti-science. Opposing draconian fake solutions to a "global" problem that only exists when you lie about the data is anti-science. Yet somehow it's cool to ban research that might show that blacks are different than whites or that women can't do everything men can do (or the reverse) because it might offend. It's fine to oppose safe nuclear energy because it sounds scary or most industry advances because they could be misused. It's fine to ban pesticides which feed people because they sound unnatural. It's fine to refuse solutions like natural gas which solve half a problem because it sounds better to wait for a total solution that doesn't exist or to impose destructive solutions which are more politically popular even though they solve nothing. Allow genetic research? Sure, but not for purposes we don't like. Abortion in all cases, unless you want to choose the sex or orientation of the child. Accept that scientists sometimes need to lie and fake data to support a cause. Sure. All good liberal beliefs, and yet they are the pro-science group?

There are others too. They scream about Trump undermining the election by "not accepting the results" and wail about the GOP hiring teams of lawyers to thwart the will of the people... which is what Al Gore did and every Democrat who lost after him. Remember the "Resistance" to Trump? Not my President. Anyone remember them trying to encourage electors to break their oaths and not vote for Trump in the electoral college? How was that any different than what they are calling treason now? Before they claimed the GOP was nasty to Obama, they were heinous to Bush and Bush and Reagan. All that talk about the Supreme Court ignoring precedent? That's what liberal courts were all about. In fact, the left used to speak of the Constitution as "a living document" that was supposed to bend to the whims of the times just so they could ignore precedent. Suddenly they scream in outrage that the current Supreme Court is overturning their pulled-from-the-asses-of-five-justices precedents?

This dovetails perfectly with the fact the Democrats never accept responsibility for their actions. I used to argue with socialists who claimed "socialism has never been tried." Except it has, over and over, always to the same ending: bankrupt nations and mass murders. The Democrats are the same. Their love-the-criminal-hate-the-cop policies went into effect in the 1960s and crime soared. They tried to blame everything but their policies. Now they do it again and crime does exactly what you expect. Yet, they and the media claim (1) no fair sensationalizing it... it's just some looting and murders, (2) some crimes are down like purse snatching (because women are hiding inside) so we can't really say that "crime" is up, (3) it's the criminals skewing the statistics, (4) it's just Covid (which only happened in woke cities apparently), (5) it's the poor economy (which they also tell us is booming), and (6) it's a nationwide problem so you can't say it's the result of their policies... must just be the times. Except it's only nationwide in the sense of being every woke city nationwide, and only woke cities. When a hundred people lick their own asses and get sick and a thousand others don't and don't get sick, only a fool would claim there's no way to know what went wrong... or a liberal.

That's how the CDC traces the causes of disease. Trace our social problems and you find liberalism is the common denominator. Liberals deny that truth.

Democratic economic policies cause inflation and recession, time and time again. Yet, the left loves to claim that's not true by pointing to some meaningless statistic like income inequality. Conservative policies bring growth and liberals split hairs to deny it's real. All I heard under Reagan was, "yeah, but they're just service jobs," which they weren't. Now Biden isn't even getting those... his "miracle" has been pizza delivery jobs.

Sometimes, you see the truth squirt out. This came from the AP: "President Biden and the Democratic Party have presided over an era of record crime that has been partly responsible large migrations out of progressive-dominated states such as California and New York into redder, Sunbelt states such as Florida and Texas." But the left ignores those moments. Do you know why California shrank? It's not all the assh*les flooding other states, oh no, it's <i>racism</i>. Yup. Trump's census people ignored blacks (I'll talk about that soon).

Liberals lie, or they're delusional. It's the only way they can live with themselves. Their rhetoric says they are the intellectual party that cares about people, supports the working poor, believes in science and freedom and opposes tyranny. Gee that sounds great. But the reality is they are the party of petty tyranny who destroy nonbelievers like a cult attacking heretics, deny science for dogma, bury the poor in inflation, recession and crime, spread hate, and smear their enemies as a matter of course because they long ago ran out of ideas to debate. It's no wonder they flee from their own nests.

Had To Post This... The January 6 Hearing Ratings

So the January 6th hearing returned to prime time yesterday. You may recall this was the darkest moment in American history according to the Democrats. How did they do? If you believe leftist articles, they "surged" in popularity. If you look at the numbers, they collapsed.

The first prime time hearing brought in a shocking, amazing, orgasmic 21 million viewers. Woo hoo, squealed the leftist hacks. This shows Amerika cares! Take that you evil Republicans.

Only, that's about 5% of the population. That's right, one in twenty. That's pathetic. Twice as many people tune in to weekly NFL games. Keep in mind, there are 125,000,000 registered Democrats alone. So this "darkest moment of our lives" managed to bring in only 16.8% of Democrats. And that's with all the networks complicit in trying to sell this thing as significant and a Hollywood producer producing the hearing -- which fact alone is a disgrace. So their all out sales pitch resulted in 5% ratings. Total fail.

Then the hearings went to day time and filled with phony controversy. Did Trump actually somehow push his husky frame through a limo to grab a steering wheel which actually has no real legal meaning whatsoever? YES! NO! Did Pence secretly want Trump gone? And what about poor Adam Schiff's romance with himself? Liars and fakers and frauds oh my! Reality TV at its finest. 11 million.

Yup, a 50% fall in ratings to less than 3% of the public. This was a total indictment of the hearings. The American public had spoken. They do not care.

And yet, the leftist media is putting out articles assuring their drones that the hearings are indeed "working." Uh, "working"? Wasn't the purpose to get at the truth or was the purpose to get Trump? Because saying it's "working" seems like an admission of bias, doesn't it? What's more the hilarious articles I've seen about it "working" note that no one's opinions are actually changing, except more Republicans "seem" open to someone other than Trump -- which was actually the case the moment he lost. But then, one oddly noted that the only real shift in opinion is that Republicans were now more likely to call January 6 "legitimate protest" than they were before the hearings. So really, the hearings are "anti-working," aren't they?

Anyways, last night, the hearings struck again in Prime Time. Today, there are dozens of articles about the hearing "dominating" Prime Time, how they have "momentum", even how "more people tuned in as the hearings kept going." Wishful thinking.

The rating are in and they scored around 10 million people, or down 9% from the day time hearings and off 54% from the Prime Time opening. Claims of increased viewership are the result of hair-splitting so fine as to be flat out delusional or lies. "Uh, more people tuned in last night than at the lowest point in the daytime hearings!"

All progressive self-stroking aside, this is a disastrous performance. 10 million people is 2.6% of the public. 155,000,000 people voted in the last election. This is 6.4% of those voters. That. is. laughable.

Screw You Californians

I'm looking to leave Colorado. There are many reasons, but the main one is Californians. I will write about this soon. As a bit of prep to understand what I'm talking about, however, let me mention an issue that is being debated right now so you start to see the mindset of these people: water.

The west is going through a drought. It happens. What's making this one so bad is that between this one and the last one, tens of millions of people have moved out here. Lake Mead in Nevada is literally almost empty because so many people in Vegas suck it dry. Rivers are running dry. In my home town, there's an aquifer that is tens of millions of years old which people here used for a hundred years and it barely fell an inch. After putting in homes for 500,000 Californians, the thing is falling at such a rate (I understand its around 11 inches a year now) that people are having to re-drill wells every couple years. It will be gone in my lifetime. Every state is running dry, including especially California.

Now, if you don't know any Californians, let me say you are blessed. They are narcissistic, wasteful, aggressive assholes. You can always spot them. They tend to drive either Teslas and dress like Tim Cook of Apple, or huge pickup trucks which scream "TINY DICK!" and dress like Raiders fans. The best description I've seen was a meme which said, "Your shirt says UFC but your body says KFC." They are very fat, covered in death-related tattoos, put Punisher skulls on their trucks and have Mexican gang facial hair. Just to complete the picture, they blow through stop signs even with pedestrians in them, they tailgate through stop signs if the guy in front stops, I've actually seen many instances where these losers try to intimidate children in school crosswalks to make them walk quicker, they run lights, stop and backup if they miss their turn, go the wrong way down one way streets if they think they can get to where they are going before on-coming traffic hits them. All deeply self-centered behavior with a sick core. It gets worse. They play games. They intentionally try to cut other people off on the road or block them for for fun (seriously, in a big empty three lane road they will literally get in your blindspot to mess with you. They yell at waitresses, their kids are the ones fighting in schools, and everything they do is obnoxious and self-centered. Ever see the "baby on board" sign that says "Baby up in this bitch"? Not only does that scream white trash, but it usually comes with a California plate. Ever see someone knock something off a shelf in a store and not pick it up? Californian. The guy at Costco who took all 20 pork roasts the other day? Californian. Leave shopping carts lurking around the lot? Californian. Karens? Californians. My daughter and her coworkers play spot the California -- their arrogance and ill manners give them away every single time.

Even worse, they are wasteful to the point its sickening. These locusts move into an area, destroy its beauty and ambiance, and strip it of resources. They seek out "cool" places and then ruin them. See, e.g. Nashville, Austin, anything in the mountains here, etc. I can tell you stories of people in Utah and Colorado and Washington who found themselves basically pushed out of their own towns when the swarm descended in numbers and then treated like outsides by the swarm. If they start coming to your home town, shoot the first ones that try. I'm not kidding.

So anyways, they've squandered all the water out here and now things are starting to go wrong. Things will need to change. No more lush lawns in the desert, no more water parks losing billions of gallons to evaporation, no more fountains in Vegas, no more washing the old Ford Compensator every day. Right? Ha! Not these people. They have no thought to changing or inconveniencing themselves. Instead, they need to find a way to make this someone else's problem. But how? Hmm.

And then it came to them: take the water from the Mississippi.

I kid you not. They want to pipe trillions of gallons of water from the Mississippi to California so they don't have to change. No thought whatsoever has been given to the effect on the people living on that river. The only thought they have is: "You have something I want, gimme." (As an aside, when Californians arrive, they arrive like old school colonizers. They build new developments for themselves that look just like what they left with all the waste and obnoxiousness -- usually in your most scenic spot. They don't adjust to the culture or learn local customs. Those can bend to their will. They treat the locals as inferiors, after all, you hicks aren't from California... say it with awe. Basically, they build little California colonies in town until it grows enough to take over and they impose their culture on you. Portugal and Greece have found this out when the Californians started moving there a few years ago -- they don't even learn the languages, believe it not. Now those countries are complaining about a massive influx of "Californians." Note: not "Americans" but "Californians." Do you know how hard it is for people oversees to separate Americans by state? The fact they have singled these people out as "Californians" is damning. They are so obnoxious, articles in California papers worn people not to move to places like Nashville and Austin because "they've become like the Bay area." How bad are they if they themselves are complaining how they've ruined places???)

Naturally, the people who depend upon the Mississippi for little things like their own water, agriculture and commerce have said, "Uh, no."

So the response from California has been angry letters to editors saying "If they aren't going to 'share' then (1) we should take it anyways, or (2) 'Don't ask us for help with your problem then.'"

There is the California attitude in a nutshell. "I should be able to do whatever I want, no matter how stupid, and if you don't give me whatever I need to be able to do that, then I'm going to throw a tantrum." Talk about entitlement!

I recall an article about a specialty realty group that is moving conservative Californians to Texas and how shocked those people were to find the Texans didn't want them. Said one woman, "Don't they realize we're conservative, we're the cavalry. We're here to save you from the rest of the Californians who are already here!" Except, what she doesn't understand is that it's not just about politics (though that is another huge problem), the problem with Californians moving in is that they are just sh*tty human beings who act like entitled locusts wherever they go. And this water thing shows it. Rather than cutting back on their wastefulness, they want to rob other people without thought to the consequences and they throw a tantrum when they aren't given what they want.

I am not kidding, if you meet a Californian looking to move into your town, be the biggest asshole you can to them so they won't want to come. Save yourself.

As an aside, the Tim Cook clones are just as obnoxious, just differently. They drive Teslas or Audis with personal plates that say obnoxious things like "Striving" and "Leadership", the crap you see on motivational posters. They go everywhere with their Apple ear phones in wearing their designer fake-casual clothes (fashion guide for douchebags) or cover themselves head to toe in Nike, and have loud important sounding conversation into their phones. They desperately need you to be impressed with them, but want you to think they don't care that you are there. But if you listen, they aren't actually talking to anyone buy a spouse. Pathetic.

Newsflash: Biden Has Covid... and Maybe Cancer

In this darkest day in our nation's history, even worse than January 6, we must tragically announce that President Biden has Covid. He got it from Trump... er, Putin... old data. Regardless, do not panic. This is transitory and it only affects his richer cells.

A large gathering of 40 million leftists is praying for Mr. Biden, that he die and they can run someone else. Stay tuned for more.

Oh, and Biden was lying about having cancer from sniffing oil. His lie was meant for dramatic effect only and should not be taken internally. Nothing to worry about there. The President never had, does not have and never will have Cancer. //wink wink He doesn't have Monkey Pox either. Hunter does, but he doesn't.

Can Biden Really Be This Bad? Apparently

Howdy folks! I am working again on some good articles. They will be out soon. For the moment, let me say how shocked I am at Biden's incompetence. I always knew the guy was a fool, but this is so far worse than could be expected.

Biden is an idiot. We knew that. I mean, think back to the Bidenisms and realize that they haven't come close to stopping. This week he praised the "selfishness" of US troops, asked us to never forget the "honor" of the Holocaust, and then fist-bumped a guy the left (and large parts of the political world) see as a murderous tyrant. I seriously wonder who is writing his speeches and advising this guy? His team is talking about gas falling "below $3 a gallon" when it's still above $5 in most places ($8 in California). Here it's $4.79. Moreover, he's taking credit for something he's been telling us is not something a president can control. How does that work? Not to mention it's still double where it was when he started his Reign of Error. He fell off his bike. He lied about being offered a spot at the Naval Academy. The man is a fool.

What fascinates me though is how utterly terrible he's been. He's makes Carter look like a genius! From his disastrous abandonment of Afghanistan to causing inflation to soar to record heights to everything in between. He's made Elon Musk a Republican with Union-requested retaliation against Tesla. He's presided over a criminal wave worse than the 1960s without a single idea to fix it. The stock market has crashed, killing people's retirements. He's let people be priced out of housing. There are genuine floods of illegals pouring through the border. He's lost all his friends, who have turned on him. Heck, he can't even handle the student loan issue without pissing EVERYONE off on each side! That takes talent. He knew the Roe v. Wade ruling was coming, but had no response to it for two weeks. This has been a master class in incompetence. The media wants to love him. They will happily lie for him. And yet, he's given them so little they can't even find good lies to tell!

Biden's approval rating is at an all-time low of 36%. 69% disapprove of his handling of the economy. 89% think the country is on the wrong track. 57% disapprove of his handling of the visit to Saudi Arabia. Over 70% of Democrats don't want him to run again. He's lost half of his own voters. Half. Think about that. Lyndon Johnson did better than that when he decided not to try for a second term after botching the Vietnam War. He lost a war and was still better respected than Biden. Jimmy lost Afghanistan, gave us gas lines and recession, and had a hostage crisis that crushed him. And yet, he was more popular.

I swear, it's so bad it almost has to be intentional... performance art. How can he get every single issue wrong and then even mishandle the softballs the media throws him? Getting snippy with a reporter asking about inflation or Saudi and responding with "ask something important" is an answer beleaguered CEOs given when they've been caught diddling their secretaries and are planning to flee to the Caymans, not presidents talking about policy.

I'm honestly floored that this administration can be so terrible. I remember enough about Carter to tell you that while nothing ultimately worked for him, he wasn't a total dipsh*t. His administration didn't do everything wrong from every single policy to every appointment to every meeting with the press. At times, Carter seemed like a normal guy if a bit snake bitten. Biden seems like a guy who needs someone in a rabbit costume to chase him away from the levers of power.

This is kind of mind-boggling.
