Democrats proclaim, “Black Lives Matter!” Really?

Seriously?

Really?

Most recently, Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker, and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, have been fighting to keep federal crime assistance, offered by President Trump, out of Chicago.

These “concerned” politicians prefer the status quo, which was 58 people shot and 8 killed over the Labor Day weekend, and dozens shot and killed over any other normal weekend, not to mention those shot and killed during the week!

Black communities bear the brunt of these shootings and killings.

But Pritzker and Johnson say crime statistics are improving, and they don’t want, or need help.

What do you think the families and friends of the hundreds of people who have been shot, and the families and friends of the hundreds of people in Chicago would have to say about that?

Pritzker and Johnson call on their democrat friends to “stand up and fight” against “federal occupation,” and to “defend the land” against President Trump.

Really?

Again, these “concerned” politicians prefer 58 people shot and 8 killed over the Labor Day weekend, and dozens shot and killed over any other normal weekend, not to mention those shot and killed during the week, and expect the people of Chicago to follow suit?

Since when did sacrificing the lives of these people to criminals on a daily basis become acceptable, and become the norm?

I believe the sane residents of Chicago would beg to differ.

So, do these democrat politicians still believe black lives matter?

I would ask, “matter” in what way exactly, because these black lives don’t seem to be worth saving in their eyes.

In case you don’t believe my premise of black lives being effected the most by this senseless crime in Chicago, in an article from April 12, 2022, for The Heritage Foundation, Giancarlo Canaparo and Abby Kassal ask, “Who Suffers the Most from the Crime Wave?”

“African Americans bear an increasingly large share of the harm from crime.”

“The spike in crime is hurting a lot of people, and black communities bear the heaviest burden.”

“Violent crime, like the price of gas, is rising. Not everyone is experiencing this crime wave in the same way. For some, it’s a distant issue experienced by other people somewhere else. For others, it’s a daily life-threatening concern.”

“We parsed the FBI’s crime data from 2011 to 2020 (the most recent data available) and found that African Americans bear an increasingly large share of the harm from crime. African American offenders, meanwhile, are committing an increasingly large share of violent crimes.”

“For other racial groups, the numbers are either decreasing (in the case of both white victims and offenders), increasing by much smaller amounts, or holding constant.”

“According to federal crime data, the number of violent crimes has increased by almost 50% over the last 10 years. In 2011, the FBI reported 314,907 violent offenses. In 2020, there were 640,836.”

“The most striking figure in the data is the spike in reported homicides, which tripled from 3,549 offenses in 2011 to 10,440 offenses in 2020.”

“The picture that federal crime data provide is bad, but the reality of crime in the United States is even worse. The FBI’s data is not complete. It relies on local law enforcement agencies across the country to voluntarily share their local data with the FBI. Not all do.”

Or, the data is manipulated, ala Washington D.C., to make it seem better than it really is.  

“Although the National Incident-Based Reporting System is not complete, it provides useful insights into who suffers from and who commits crime because it tracks demographic data about both sets of people.”

“We utilized the FBI’s crime data to compare victim statistics to determine which groups have been most impacted by the rise in violent crime. Factoring out the cases in which the race of the victim was unknown, we calculated who has borne the brunt of the crime wave.”

“For this analysis, violent crime includes assault, homicide, and sex offenses. We found that the increase in these crimes has fallen hardest on black people.”

“The most significant changes, therefore, were that black people represent an increasing share of violent crime victims…”

“The true size of the problem is made starker when we consider that African Americans make up only 14.2% of the total population (including multiracial populations who identify as black “in combination” with another race), but 32.7% of all violent crime victims and 54.4% of homicide victims. Thus, these small percentages represent an enormous problem that, for black people, is getting worse, both in relative and absolute terms.”

Regardless…, the spike in crime is hurting a lot of people, and black communities bear the heaviest burden.

Democrats across the country oppose President Trump’s desire to make our cities safer places to live and work. The democrats prefer to fight for the rights criminals and ignore the devastating impact crime is having on their constituents.

How these democrats keep winning elections in our big cities is beyond me.

I guess, in the end, you get what you deserve, but President Trump is determined to improve the lives of the people in these big democrat run cities, whether they appreciate it or not.

The Swamp was Swilling Taxpayer Money like Pigs at the Trough!

Yes, my friends. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has revealed a virtual unending amount of waste and abuse of our taxpayer dollars by these swamp monsters and their anti-America socialist piglets everywhere.

To the tune of billions and billions and billions of our taxpayer dollars.

In the simplest of terms, innumerable (mostly democrat) parasites have been stealing our money.

When I hear the DOGE team describe just some of their findings it literally makes me sick.

Imagine, if you will, thousands and thousands of “wolves of Wall Street” partying on our dime like it was 1999.

They had absolutely no respect for the people they were supposed to be working for, or any sense of accountability for the money they had no problem squandering away. 

It’s no wonder the democrats are all up in arms over President Trump, Elon Musk, and the DOGE team.

These people are like crack addicts who have been forced to go cold turkey, with the added worry of possibly being held legally accountable for their years, even decades, of theft and abuse.

This explains why they’re willing to fund as many protests as it takes, while expending political capital left and right, regardless of popular opinion.

Congressman Craig Goldman, of Texas, posted the following on his website:

“Alongside President Donald Trump, I am committed to eliminating wasteful and fraudulent federal government spending. With over $36 trillion in national debt, reckless government overspending must end. I have put together a non-exhaustive list of taxpayer dollars spent under the Biden administration. This list has been identified through the incredible work of the White House, executive agencies, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and my colleagues in the U.S. Congress. I will be updating this tracker regularly to show how taxpayer dollars were poorly spent.”

“The list below includes taxpayer dollars channeled through agencies such as the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), U.S. Department of State (DOS), U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Inter-American Foundation (IAF), National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF), and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).”

The following is just a list of DOGE’s initial findings.

The Rebirth of America!

Yes, my friends. We are experiencing a true rebirth of America.

Just like the original American patriots who stood up, led by General George Washington, against all odds, to the mighty British empire, modern day American patriots stood up against the cabal of the democrat party, the propagandist mainstream media, fascist governmental “lawfare,” and a flood of anti-American money, to elect Donald Trump in the election of November of 2024.

I believe as time goes by, Donald Trump will be revered as the “Father” of the rebirth of the United States, just as George Washington is revered as the original “Father” of our country.

I also believe that Elon Musk will be viewed as a modern day founding father, similar to Benjamin Franklin.

Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of our nation, was a writer, scientist, inventor, statesman, diplomat, printer, publisher and political philosopher who gave his time and his intellect to his country.

Like Ben Franklin, Elon Musk has given his time and expertise for the good of his adopted home.

Whereas Washington battled the British “red coats” with his blue coated rebels, President Trump’s red-hatted MAGA patriots are in a constant political and moral battle with the designated blue democrats.

Washington fought for the ideals in The Declaration of Independence.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.”

Like Washington, President Trump is also fighting for these same ideals, again, 250 years later.

Has anyone actually been charged with “insurrection” regarding January 6th?

The “insurrection” word gets thrown around ALL the time by democrats, but the truth is NOT ONE PERSON HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION, REGARDING THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6TH.

Let me say that again.

NOT ONE PERSON HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION, REGARDING THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6TH.

Although hundreds of Americans have been charged with various other crimes, regarding the events of January 6th, NOT ONE PERSON HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION REGARDING THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6TH.

Let me say that again.

NOT ONE PERSON HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION, REGARDING THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6TH.

You may wonder how that could possibly be, and the answer is probably because it, in reality, was not an “insurrection,” at least by the protesters and rioters that have been targeted by The Department of inJustice.

Kaylee McGhee White, for The Washington Examiner writes, “Reminder: Not one person involved in Jan. 6 riot has been charged with ‘insurrection.’”

“For all the Democrats’ talk of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot being an ‘insurrection,’ it’s important to remember that not one person involved in the riot has been charged with that crime.”

“My colleague Jerry Dunleavy writes, ‘One year after the Capitol riot, no one has been charged with sedition or insurrection, despite initial Justice Department claims that such charges were likely and former President Donald Trump being impeached for allegedly inciting an insurrection.’”

“Surely, if the rioters’ actions were as seditious and Trump’s foolishness [their words, not mine] was as dangerous as Democrats have claimed, we’d be seeing criminal charges that reflect the seriousness of those alleged crimes. But that hasn’t happened.”

“According to the Justice Department, more than 225 defendants had been charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement officers; at least 275 defendants have been charged with obstructing a congressional proceeding; and about 40 defendants have been charged with some sort of conspiracy charge.”

“But, again, no one has been charged with sedition or insurrection.”

Let me say that again.

NOT ONE PERSON HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION, REGARDING THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6TH.

“Perhaps that’s why the vast majority of voters on both the Left and the Right don’t agree with Democrats’ characterization of the Capitol riot as an insurrection. A CBS News poll released this week found that 70% of the people who voted for President Joe Biden and 84% of the people who voted for Trump considered the Capitol riot to be a ‘protest that went too far.’”

Now we see multiple states attempting to keep President Trump off of this November’s ballot because he, according to their belief, “incited an insurrection” on January 6th.

The same January 6th where NOT ONE PERSON HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION REGARDING THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6TH, INCLUDING PRESIDENT TRUMP.  

In truth, President Trump offered to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops to the Capitol that day, but his offer was rejected by Pelosi, who as the Speaker of the House at the time, was in charge of Capitol security.

Now why would she do that?

The idea has been floated she denied troops to help with security because “it would not have been a good look.”

But the Capitol surrounded by fences and razor wire and troops after the fact was a good look?

In reality, I believe she did not want the troops there because they would have actually kept the protestors in line, which was contrary to what Pelosi, and her counterparts, the FBI, desired.  

It has been well documented that FBI operatives incited the protestors to march on and enter the Capitol building, and even assisted them with their entry.

All so Pelosi and the democrats could use this event to further their never ending parade of witch hunts against President Trump, and further promote their narrative of the evil MAGA contingency.  

And, why was Nancy Pelosi, who was responsible for Capitol security, never brought before the January 6th Committee to testify?   

I think we all know the answer to that question.

Lies, Lies, and More Democrat Lies.

The democrats are demonstrating, again, that they have no shame, no level they won’t stoop to, and no lie they aren’t willing to tell to cover their tracks, or to promote their disingenuous positions and narratives.

The most recent examples are the false narratives surrounding this latest “border security” bill, and border security in general.

We are hearing claims from “President” Biden that he needs this latest border bill, or something like it, to help him secure the border.

Lie.

In truth, the border was very secure when he assumed office in 2021, and it was his executive actions on day one of his administration that opened the illegal immigrant floodgates. These actions could just as easily be reversed without any help from congress.

At a recent campaign event in South Carolina, Biden said Democrats and Republicans are “making real progress” on a bill that would include new border security measures.

“It would also give me, as president, the emergency authority to shut down the border until it can get back under control,” Biden said at South Carolina’s “First in the Nation” dinner. “If that bill were the law today, I’d shut down the border right now and fix it quickly.”

Lies, lies, and more lies.

The truth is, expecting the creator of the problem to fix the problem they created is insanity.

In addition, the president, any president, already has the emergency authority to close down the border, if they really want to.

The democrats have now actually resorted to blaming former President Trump for our border woes, and the complicit mainstream media is more than happy to allow them to perpetrate these lies without challenging anything they claim.

Hopefully people will more and more begin to believe their own lying eyes, and hold the democrats accountable for their anti-American policies.

The “Shot” heard around the world! Mug shot that is.

The former President, Donald J. Trump, sure doesn’t look worried.

He doesn’t look intimidated either.

I would say he looks pi$$ed off, and that these people should be careful what they wish for, because payback’s a b*tch.

Jonathan J. Cooper, for The Associated Press, reports, “One image, one face, one American moment: The Donald Trump mug shot.”

“A camera clicks. In a fraction of a second, the shutter opens and then closes, freezing forever the image in front of it.”

“When the camera shutter blinked inside an Atlanta jail on Thursday, it both created and documented a tiny inflection point in American life.”

A huge inflection point, in my estimation.  

“Captured for posterity, there was a former president of the United States, for the first time in history, under arrest and captured in the sort of frame more commonly associated with drug dealers or drunken drivers. The trappings of power gone, for that split second.”

“Left behind: an enduring image that will appear in history books long after Donald Trump is gone.”

You can say that again.

‘“It will be forever part of the iconography of being alive in this time,’ said Marty Kaplan, a professor at the University of Southern California Annenberg School of Communications.”

Ooookay, agreed…, but did we really need a quote from some unknown professor from some unknown school to state the obvious here?  Just sayin’.   

“In a historic moment for American history, former President Donald Trump becomes the first president to have a booking photo released, and is also the first former president to be criminally charged.”

“In the photo, Trump confronts the camera in front of a bland gray backdrop, his eyes meeting the lens in an intense glare. He’s wearing a blue suit, white shirt and red tie, his shoulders squared, his head tilted slightly toward the camera. The sheriff’s logo has been digitally added above his right shoulder.”

“Some of the 18 others charged with him in Georgia smiled in their booking photos like they were posing for a yearbook. Not Trump. His defiance is palpable, as if he’s staring down a nemesis through the lens.”

Like I said, I would say he looks pi$$ed off, and that these people should be careful what they wish for, because payback’s a b*tch.

Donald Trump Has My Unconditional Support!         

The democrats have managed to stoke the fires of my political resolve, as has President Trump.

Watching Donald Trump’s speech from Mar-a-Lago, after returning from the legal circus in morally and legally bankrupt New York City, I need to reaffirm a few things:

President Trump is a unicorn, politically speaking. There is NO leading politician like him…, even remotely like him.

He is only interested in the best interests of our country and its people. This is quite a rare attribute.

President Trump speaks plainly, and he speaks the truth. What a novel idea for a politician.

President Trump is a remarkable person. He has taken the slings and arrows of a relentless opposition, and he is a tireless fighter for himself, his family, and the rest of us, and he deserves our appreciation and support.

Thank you, Mr. President, for refusing to give up on our country and the American ideal.

You are a hero to millions of Americans, and deservedly so.

I honestly don’t know how you do it, but I am eternally grateful you’re willing to make the effort on behalf of your country.

The democrats have “called down the thunder,” and now Trump and the MAGA patriots are coming, “and hell is coming with us.”

If our country is to be saved, Donald Trump would be the one who could do it.

Again, you have my unconditional support, Mr. President.

Is America going “Bananas?”

I would say there is no doubt that some of our fellow Americans are losing it, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.

In June of 2020, Author Robin Wright asked, for “The New Yorker,” no less, “Is America Becoming a Banana Republic?”

I don’t think she knew at the time how prophetic that question would be.

“In the early nineteen-hundreds, the American writer O. Henry coined the term “banana republic” in a series of short stories…”

“The term, which originally referred to a politically unstable country run by a dictator and his cronies…, took on a life of its own.”

“Over the past century, “banana republic” has evolved to mean any country (with or without bananas) that has a ruthless, corrupt, or just plain ‘loopy’ leader who relies on the military [in our case the state police, the DOJ and the FBI, with the cooperation of some kangaroo courts thrown in there] and destroys state institutions…”

“During the heated Presidential campaign of 2016, the term made its way into mainstream American politics, often glibly. President Trump invoked it in October, 2016. ‘This election will determine whether we remain a free country in the truest sense of the word or we become a corrupt banana republic controlled by large donors and foreign governments,’ he told a cheering crowd in Florida.”

Truer words were never spoken.

“The House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (at the time), the third most powerful politician in the land, described the experience of her daughter, a filmmaker and journalist, when men in fatigues used chemical agents and body armor to force her fellow peaceful protesters aside so Trump could walk to St. John’s Church, on Monday night, for a fleeting photo op where he waved the Bible. On Wednesday, Pelosi bluntly asked, on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe,’ ‘What is this, a banana republic?’”

Ha! Just wait Nancy! You will show us all what kind of banana republic we have, when you surround the capitol with fencing and armed reservists to supposedly protect yourselves from your own concocted “insurrection!”

“Later that day, James Mattis, the former Defense Secretary, issued a scathing rebuke of President Trump, his former boss.”

Boy, what a disappointment Mattis turned out to be. A real sell-out. And that’s coming from a marine myself.

“Mattis described being ‘angry and appalled’ at the use of the U.S. military against the American people.”

Again, hang onto your hat General Mattis, because you ain’t seen nothing yet!

‘“When I joined the military, some fifty years ago, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate the Constitutional rights of their fellow citizens, much less to provide a bizarre photo op for the elected commander-in-chief, with military leadership standing alongside,” he said, in a statement to The Atlantic.”

Like I said, you ain’t seen nothing yet, General! Talk about a “bizarre photo op!” The democrat contrived January 6th “insurrection” was one long running “bizarre photo op!

“Pictures of National Guard troops arrayed in tight rows on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, a site that symbolizes reconciliation and healing after our Civil War, clad in camouflage, flak jackets, and body armor, added to the sense that America is in the midst of a defining national crisis. Mattis raged at the President personally, accusing him of deliberately trying to divide the country.”

Ha! That’s a real hoot!

‘“We know that we are better than the abuse of executive authority that we witnessed in Lafayette Square,’ he said. He went one big step further, demanding that ‘those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution’ must be held accountable.”

Yes. We’re all waiting for Pelosi and the democrats to be held responsible for the grand January 6th charade.

“Scholars and current and former policymakers say that Trump’s historical legacy increasingly appears to be the undoing of American democracy. ‘We are far too complacent about the durability of our system,’ Robert Kagan, a historian at the Brookings Institution and the author of ‘The Jungle Grows Back: America and Our Imperiled World,’ told me (Seems like kind of a racist title, if you ask me.). ‘So much of what makes our system work is the general fidelity to a democratic ethos on the part of everybody involved.’”

Bingo!

We are all currently witnessing the democrats making their best efforts to “undo American democracy.”  

“Trump has proved that ‘our system has within it the capacity to be subverted,’ Kagan said. The brilliance of America’s Founders was designing a constitution with checks and balances to ensure that the instruments of power served the people and the Constitution, and limited the Presidency. ‘The founders hoped that Congress would be jealous of its prerogatives and the independent judiciary would be jealous of its role, and that each actor would have a certain devotion to the republican spirit, little “R,” and defend it against potential threats from a President more concerned for his own interests than the rights of the general population,’ Kagan said. ‘The amazing thing is that, throughout our history, that really has sort of been the case.’ No longer, he added. At the direction of President Trump, the core institutions that once insured the daily functions of the state and the peaceful transition of leadership have been seriously eroded.”

Wow.

Reading all of this two years later, it’s uncanny how all of these democrat tools and elitists are ending up describing themselves and their anti-American democrat friends!

“At the Department of Justice [inJustice], Attorney General William Barr overrode his own prosecutors in the sentencing of Roger Stone, a Trump ally. He urged that charges against Michael Flynn, Trump’s first short-lived national security adviser, be dropped, even though Flynn twice pleaded guilty to lying to the F.B.I. In the case of Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign manager, the President launched a Twitter tirade against Judge Amy Berman Jackson, including the false charge, ‘Is this the Judge that put Paul Manafort in SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, something that not even mobster Al Capone had to endure?’ Corrections officials, not judges, determine how and where prisoners are held. ‘If they can do that to protect the President’s friends, they can also be used against the President’s enemies,’ Kagan said.”

Oh, how we see that now!

You see, you can’t lie to the FBI, unless you’re a democrat. There are definitely two completely separate sets of rules, depending on where your politics lie.

‘“The clock is ticking on the future of America’s democracy,’ David Blight, a civil-war historian at Yale, told me. ‘This unrest, it’s more than unrest, it’s a revolt, is truly astonishing.’ In nine days, protesters have taken to the streets in three hundred and eighty cities over the death of George Floyd. ‘We have to find some way for electoral politics, ending just five months from now, to harness this, or where does it go? What’s left?’ He compared the deep political dysfunction in Washington in 2020 to the eighteen-fifties, when U.S. institutions were torn apart and the country collapsed in disunion. ‘There was no center left by 1860,’ he said. To answer Pelosi’s question, Blight said, ‘We’re not quite there yet. But we may be on the verge of becoming a banana republic. It was correct of her to ask the question.’”

Wow, was it ever. In fact, she was foreshadowing things to come, thanks to her and her democrat co-conspirators.

We have gone from finding the person who committed a crime, to finding a crime based on the person, or political target.

Now, that’s a real indicator of a “banana republic.”

It looks like we’ll have front row seats to the democrats’ legal circus, regarding former President Trump, for quite a while here, all while the “Biden crime family” is given a pass after pass from the Department of inJustice, and its resident treasonist in charge, Merrick Garland.

We’ve got banana republics, monkey business, and kangaroo courts! The democrats have created a real zoo out here!

“Certified” Election Results?!

I keep hearing democrats crying about “election deniers,” and how the 2020 election results have been “certified,” yada, yada, yada.

“Certified” by who?

“Certified” by the same corrupt partisan officials who conducted the election in their respective cities and states, and then rubber stamped by other partisan politicians and partisan judges?   

According to Lisa Marshall, for the CU (Colorado University) Boulder Today, news publication, “In the days following the 2020 presidential election, as states re-counted and certified votes and President Joe Biden’s win became more objectively certain, Republicans, paradoxically, became less confident in the legitimacy of the vote, according to new CU Boulder research published today in the journal PLOS ONE.”

Note: PLOS ONE is a peer-reviewed open access mega journal published by the Public Library of Science since 2006. The journal covers primary research from any discipline within science and medicine.

“The study also found that, regardless of political party, the more an individual consumed and trusted Fox News, the less faith he or she had in the electoral process.”

Could that be because the mainstream media stuck their heads in the sand and basically failed to report about any election abnormalities at all, while FOX at least addressed some of the issues and concerns?

Could that be why?   

‘“We have never seen this before in the weeks following Election Day: The more evidence accumulated that Biden won, the less confident Republicans became that the election was legitimate,’ said senior author Leaf Van Boven, a professor of psychology and neuroscience who studies judgment and decision making in politics. ‘In a healthy democracy, you would see that moving in the opposite direction, Democrats and Republicans would become more confident in the election’s legitimacy.’”

Yes, that would be nice, but the more we learned about the 2020 election, or better said “installation,” the less confidence we had it its legitimacy.

And, the reason “we have never seen this before in the weeks following Election,” is because we have never seen a presidential election stolen like this before!

“The study comes as some conservative thought leaders have begun to distance themselves from Fox News for giving voice to what they call ‘conspiracy theories,’ and two voting technology companies are suing the network for perpetuating claims the election was rigged.”

Haven’t we arrived at the point now where “conspiracy theories” really aren’t theories anymore?

And anyone can sue anybody for anything. The act of being sued should not be attributable to the questioning of integrity. “The study” makes biased assumptions, connections, and conclusions that are not really valid.     

And who gave the order to stop counting votes in the swing states on the night of November 3/4, 2020 by the way?

Just sayin’.  

“The new research relies on a psychological explanation, known as ‘cognitive dissonance theory,’ to explain the bizarre turn American politics has taken in the past year.”

Oh, really?

“Cognitive dissonance is when one’s personal attitudes and identities are inconsistent with their beliefs. To ease that discomfort, people rationalize the facts to restore consistency and turn to social networks to reaffirm that rationalization.”

I guess I would say we turned to social networks to validate our lying eyes with the lying eyes of others…, but, that’s just me.  

“After the 2020 election, the explanation for many was that the election must have been rigged [which it was], and the reaffirming social network was Fox News, Van Boven said, ‘If you expect your candidate to win and then your candidate loses, you are shoved into a state of cognitive dissonance. What you thought was supposed to happen doesn’t happen and that feels uncomfortable, so you make sense of it by rationalizing the outcome.’”

Or, when “what you thought was supposed to happen doesn’t happen, and that feels uncomfortable,” you blame the Russians!

Or, you recognize the actual chain of events, and refuse to be an election denier denier.

I don’t remember this being raised when Hillary lost, regarding democrats. I do remember Russian collusion being blamed, however. What would the resident eggheads call that?

Collusion delusion?

“For the study, the researchers took advantage of an unusual ‘natural experiment,’ a hotly contested election with an unprecedented number of mail-in and absentee ballots, which meant the outcome would not be known for days.”

You mean an election with an unprecedented number of UNVERIFIABLE and illegal mail-in and absentee ballots, that were conveniently discovered and counted in the middle of the night?

Those ballots?  

“They surveyed a diverse sample of 1,200 people and asked them how much faith they had that the votes were counted correctly. Half responded between Nov. 4 and 8, just after Election Day when many states’ vote counts had not been confirmed. Half took it between Nov. 9 and 15, after all states had confirmed counts, most media outlets had declared Biden the winner and Biden had delivered his acceptance speech.”

“Participants also reported how much they trusted and consumed 15 media outlets, including Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal.”

“As days passed, Republicans grew less confident that the votes were counted fairly, while Democrats grew more confident. Both findings are problematic, said Van Boven, ‘In healthy democracies, citizens are confident that votes were counted as intended regardless of who won.’”

That’s because “as days passed” we learned more about the democrats’ efforts to manipulate the vote, and the legal system’s choice to not address the problems with the vote at all.

We definitely cannot be considered a “healthy democracy” at this point.  

“The researchers were surprised to find that Republicans trusted and consumed only one of the 15 media outlets, Fox News, more than Democrats or Independents did. Democrats, in contrast, trusted and consumed all of the media outlets, except Fox News, more than Republicans or Independents.”

‘“If an individual trusted and consumed any of the other media outlets we measured, aside from Fox News, they trusted the election outcome more,’ said Van Boven.”

And that is because the “other media outlets” pumped out their dutiful propaganda about how this was the most secure election in history, which it obviously wasn’t.

“What made 2020 different? Studies have shown that voters whose candidate loses tend to temporarily lose faith that votes were counted correctly, but if the democracy is healthy losers ultimately consent. 2020 was different. Voters personally identified more closely with their political parties than in past elections, said author Dani Grant, a doctoral student in social psychology. ‘There is a lot more cognitive dissonance if you are not just dealing with disagreement about abstract policies, but you feel like your actual identity is under threat,’ said Grant.”

And it is.

Without fair elections, democracies aren’t democracies.  

Just a reminder that the Texas lawsuit questioning the validity of the 2020 election results was joined by more than a dozen state attorney generals, as well as more than 100 members of the U.S. House. This was a little more than a case of personal cognitive dissonance.

“Trump did not promptly concede, as George H.W. Bush, Al Gore, John McCain and Hillary Clinton did. And the media landscape had changed.”

And the way we accumulated and counted the votes had changed as well.

And why would President Trump “promptly concede” when the election was obviously being stolen from him?

“We now exist in a media landscape that is sharply polarized, and we need to take some initiative to seek more diversity. Otherwise, we may just be reaffirming our preexisting beliefs and notions to make us feel better.”

A diversity of truths?

How does that work?

Perhaps you should direct your concerns towards how our elections are conducted, rather than how the media portrays how our elections ae conducted.

“Evil” Democrat Policies?

Yes, my friends.

Evil…, with a capital “E.”

Many of the democrat policies we see these days are not just bad ideas…, or misguided ideas…, they are evil in nature, and evil in their implementation.

For example, and in no particular order:

The promotion and execution of an open southern border. Which ignores existing law, and promotes the illegal trafficking of women and children, rape, sex slaves and a life of slavery, not to mention being used as organ donors. In addition, this policy has opened the drug trade for the cartels to new levels, and overdoses and drug deaths in our country to new levels as well.

Evil.

The promotion and implementation of lawlessness in our country. Many new liberal laws call for the release of dangerous criminals, no bail/immediate release of criminals charged with crimes, liberal district attorneys and prosecutors more concerned about criminals rather than the victims and protecting their communities. This along with the defunding of the police, or attempting to abolish the police altogether.

Evil.

Protesters at The Women’s March ‘Rally For Abortion Justice’ in Washington, on Oct. 2, 2021.

The promotion of abortion, right up until the moment of birth, and even after birth!

Evil.  

A “justice” department (DOJ) and an FBI that have been politically weaponized…, dispensing selective justice, and a two-tiered justice system.

Evil.  

The promotion and implementation of policies which make our country and our people dependent on evil regimes for our energy, while forcing our people to live in third world conditions, as well as lying about EVs and “climate change.”

Evil.

Promoting sexuality, and even perverted sexuality, among our elementary children.

Evil.  

Promoting and propagandizing divisive policies and rhetoric in general.

Evil.

The creation of the Covid 19 virus and the spreading of the Covid 19 virus, along with their communist friends in China. This followed by shutting of our country down.., both economically and educationally, while making Big Pharma rich beyond their wildest imaginations, for vaccines that were ineffective at their best, and actually harmful at their worst.

Evil.

“President” Biden, Illegitimate Joe, in his recent “Nazi” throwback speech, said the following:

“… as I stand here tonight, equality and democracy are under assault. We do ourselves no favor to pretend otherwise.”

Yes, they are “Cognitively Challenged” Joe, but “under assault” by who? I would contend You and your shameless friends.   

“Now on our time as we build an America that is more prosperous, free, and just.”

Wait…, say what?

“That is the work of my presidency, a mission I believe in with my whole soul.”

Your “whole soul,” Sleepy Joe? That’s not saying much, if anything.

“But first, we must be honest with each other and with ourselves.”

OK, so, you’ve demonstrated you’re incapable of being honest…, so where do we go from here?

I guess we’ll just see what you have to say, and assume you’re lying.

“Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal.”

Well, that was truthful, and you can say that again!

“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.”

Okay…, that’s more like the “Lyin’ Biden” we have come to know!

“Now, I want to be very clear, very clear up front. Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know, because I’ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans.”

When Creepy Joe says he wants to be “very clear,” he means clear as mud. And who exactly are these “mainstream Republicans?” I believe he’s referring to our current collection of RINOs.

On a side note…, why don’t we ever see any DINOs?

OK, well, anyway, let’s continue.  

“But there’s no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country.”

It’s not “a threat to this country,” “Pedo Joe,” it’s a threat to all of the evil “swamp” dwellers,” and the evil, authoritarian, and anti-American democrat party.

“These are hard things, but I’m an American president, not a president of red America or blue America, but of all America. And I believe it’s my duty, my duty to level with you, to tell the truth no matter how difficult, no matter how painful.”

“And here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution.”

Wait, again…, say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

Who doesn’t respect the Constitution?!!!!!!!!!!!

Who is hindering free speech with political censorship?!!!

Who wants to take away our 2nd amendment rights?!!!!

DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“They do not believe in the rule of law.”

OMG, wait, again…, say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

Who ignores our immigration laws?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who has demonstrated over and over again there is a two-tiered justice system?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who dispenses justice based on skin color or political affiliation?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!

“They do not recognize the will of the people.”

What “people” are you referring to Illegitimate Joe?

You think it’s the “will of the people” to live in fear due to skyrocketing crime?

You think it’s the “will of the people” to suffer through record levels of inflation?

You think it’s the “will of the people” to become dependent on China, Iraq, and Venezuela?

You think it’s the “will of the people” to keep shoveling our money over to Ukraine, while there is like a million things we could use it for here at home?

You think it’s the “will of the people” to allow mountains of fentanyl to pour across our border and kill our children?

You think it’s the “will of the people” to allow human trafficking of women and children by the Mexican Cartels to flourish?

“They refuse to accept the results of a free election, and they’re working right now as I speak in state after state to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself.”

There’s so much wrong about this statement, I’m not sure where to begin. Let’s just say the only thing we’re trying to undermine, legally, are democrats gaining any more power.

“MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards, backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love. They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fanned the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country.”

Again…, what in thee hell are you talking about Cognitively Challenged Joe?!

I guess, yes, we would like to go back to what we had going in like 2018, before the democrats and China dropped the Covid bomb on us, and the rest of the world. What’s wrong with that?

“They look at the mob that stormed the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, brutally attacking law enforcement, not as insurrectionists who placed a dagger at the throat of our democracy, but they look at them as patriots.”

Hell yeah we do. And there’s nothing wrong with that, or illegal about that.

“They tried everything last time to nullify the votes of 81 million people.”

You got 81 million votes Illegitimate Joe, but 81 million people did not vote for you. Let’s just make that clear. There’s no way you got 10 million more votes than Barak Obama, when you barely left your basement in Delaware to campaign.

“MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger.”

We don’t “embrace anger,” Creepy Joe, but we are angry.

“They thrive on chaos. They live, not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies.”

You’re talking about your liberal friends here, right Pedo Joe? You can’t be talking about anyone else.

“I know this nation. I know you, the American people. I know your courage, I know your hearts, and I know our history.”

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, and lie.

“This is a nation that honors our Constitution.”

True, some of us do.

“We do not reject it.”

Lie.

“This is a nation that believes in the rule of law.”

True, some of us do.

“We do not repudiate it.”

Lie.

“This is a nation that respects free and fair elections.”

True, some of us do…, but definitely not you or your cheating accomplices.

“And this is a nation that rejects violence as a political tool. We do not encourage violence.”

You do realize, Creepy Joe, that we all watched daily and nightly violent riots that lasted for months and months, all supported and encouraged by democrats, don’t you?

“We are still an America that believes in honesty and decency and respect for others.”

Yeah, we as Trump supporters really appreciate your “respect” for us. Ha!

“And yet, history tells us that blind loyalty to a single leader and a willingness to engage in political violence is fatal to democracy.”

Agreed. You can say that again, Adolf, er, uh, I mean Joe.

“We’re all called by duty and conscience to confront extremists who put their own pursuit of power above all else.”

Couldn’t agree with you more! You all democrats got any mirrors over there in D.C.? Just sayin’.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we can’t be pro-insurrectionist and pro-American.”

First of all…, did you just reduce us all to only two genders, Creepy Joe? How dare you!

And, second, “We can’t be pro-insurrectionist and pro-American?” Tell that to the leaders of The Boston Tea Party, or any of the Rebel scum who stood up against the British. I believe the founders would say it is our duty to stand up against your totalitarian b#llshit.

“Even in this moment with all the challenges we face, I give you my word as a Biden, I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future. Not because of me, but because of who you are.”

O-M-G.

“I give you my word as a Biden?”

If only you could truly understand how comical and how utterly worthless that statement is.  

Don’t allow yourself to be fooled my friends.

THEIR ACTIONS speak louder than THEIR WORDS.

“Evil” Democrat Policies?

Yes, my friends.

Evil…, with a capital “E.”

Again, many of the democrat policies we see these days are not just bad ideas…, or misguided ideas…, they are evil in nature, and evil in their implementation.
