Try harder

3/9/24:

An update is needed to clarify a point made in the section below on Texas' primary results. I edited the point and underlined it so it can be more easily referenced.

Quite a few legislators lost their seats, and several were forced into run-offs, included the Speaker of the Texas House. The Speaker may well lose the run-off, as an anti-tax candidate divided the vote. Since anti-taxers are more conservative in general, the Speaker is in trouble, I'd say.

A leader in the Anti-Paxton faction didn't run for re-election. A number of others didn't run. I'd say there was a lot of fall-out from the move to oust Paxton. It's too early to say at this point in my research, but I'd say that there was a stiff negative reaction to the Bushie faction that was behind the impeachment.

The article that says otherwise might be more than a little off, indeed.

the original post of 3/7/24 follows directly below:

The issues in this coming election need to be pushed a bit harder. Example: There was a vote on deporting illegal aliens who commit crimes, and it had a scandalously high number of Democrats who refused to vote for it. It's not going to be enough to point that out. There needs to be some pain being administered to those who refuse to honestly deal with issues such as these. The bill was named for someone who was killed by an illegal alien. Could a more appropriate name for the bill have been chosen? It should be a no-brainer that the kind of people who would do this should not be allowed to stay in this country. But it looks like the Democrats just don't care. Drawing attention to this may not be enough.

Perhaps the bill being named for someone nobody heard of was the problem? What people need to know should be in the name of the bill, and it needs to be brought to the public's attention again and again in order to showcase the Democrat's callous attitude towards those who fall victim to illegal aliens who commit crimes. It may not be politically correct to call them illegal aliens, but what's worse? Defending people who kill innocent people, or ruffling a few feathers of people who really need to feel some heat?

There seems to be a lot of just going through the motions. In Texas, more than half of those who voted to impeach Paxton won their primaries. Or was that more than half of the GOP legislators? Come to think of it, maybe that article was bit off. Of course the Democrats would vote for the impeachment, but what about Republicans? Anyway, I'm running with the thought. The Speaker was forced into a run-off, and one of the chief supporters of the impeachment did not run in this election. Perhaps the voters got a bit too lax, or was the article a bit misleading?

I could look it up, but my internet is limited for the time-being. Yep, excuses.

The idea for the post is that all these people who say we are on the wrong track need to get busy. It's not good enough to just complain. If there's good news, don't just rest on your laurels.

The overall impression given by these developments seems to show a population that is indifferent to things that just should not be. Has the public gotten that indifferent and callous? If so, then how do the Democrats get to play up events like school shootings?

The GOP could try tactics like that too, you know. But do they do that enough? The GOP cannot afford to lose this election. Perhaps we all should try just a bit harder.

It isn't all bad

 "Nikki" Haley is out.  There is good news after all.  The insistence upon negativity  isn't really helpful nor inspiring.  Let the pinkos be miserable.  Time to be hearty in spirit.  Nothing succeeds like the aura of success.

Super Tuesday

Trump is winning rather decisively in deep red states. He may lose Vermont, which is a deep blue state. That should tell you something, but I don't suppose that the people who need to hear it, are listening.

Haley has no chance of getting the nomination except by trickery. Even if she gets it, she has little chance of winning the general. Even if she does THAT MUCH, she's still no victory for the conservative faction of the GOP. Hence, she will have very little real support there. Whatever she wins, it won't be too much different from what we are already getting from Biden.

She seems all too willing to say anything in order to get the nomination. For that reason, I'd say she is not trustworthy at all. She is already reneging on her promise to endorse the winner of the primaries. She won't endorse Trump. She claims to be willing to pardon Trump, but can that promise be believed? She'll say anything.

At this moment, after 10 PM Central time, she has only the support of the deep blue jurisdictions. California has not been counted yet. Who knows what happens there.

I'm taking the Rhett Butler route. Frankly my dears, I don't give a damn. I'm tired of the histrionics of the political left and their dupes who call themselves "moderates". It's a shell game. Which means the entire charade is designed to fool the public. Haley couldn't get elected dog catcher. The only way she ends up in power is by trickery and deceit. She'll be controlled by the Derp State even if she wins. The election process is one in which marred by an excess of corruption, which has infected the entire political process. We'll be lucky if anything honest emerges from this. Indeed, it would be a miracle.

The Establishment Shell Game

This is primary season, and today is what is called "Super Tuesday". If you bothered to notice, the Democrats won't allow an actual primary challenge to their "boy", Joe Biden. So they ran off RFK, Jr. They probably gave Manchin an offer he couldn't refuse, so he wouldn't run against Biden either. While doing this, they fret that old Joe hasn't got it anymore. In the meantime, they want to run as the party that will save Democracy against the Trump faction of the GOP. It's not about Democracy. It's a shell game.

A shell game is a game in which the truth of the situation is being obfuscated in order to trick somebody into thinking the shell isn't where it truly is. With the Democrats, their voters will do whatever they are told to do. There is no Democracy there, for if there was, there would be open, free, and fair elections during this primary season. But that is being prevented, and they claim Democracy. What a bunch of hooey. What the Democrats will end up doing is pretending to hold primaries, while having their voters cross over to vote in the GOP primaries. Once that process is over, they'll switch the nominee(s) (both parties) over to a more "promising" candidate. Some "Democracy", huh?

While doing all this, they'll try to influence the outcome of the GOP primaries. Obviously, they want a candidate more to their liking, which would be "Nikki" Haley ( or whatever her real name is ). So their shell game crosses the aisle, so to speak. Consequently, the idea is to prevent any true two party competition for the vote. More "Democracy" for you. The real target is their own candidates, as they are presented, even though this bears little resemblance to the will of the people. For if it did, Donald Trump would already be the nominee, as Haley would have dropped out. All she can win are the blue states. Biden probably wouldn't survive an honest primary challenge.

The blue states are blue because they are safe Democrat seats. What good is it for a GOP candidate to win blue states then? If you cannot hold your own state, like Haley couldn't, then what hope for victory do you really have? Do they honestly believe that they can win elections like that? The blue state voters will not show up for Haley. Not to mention the fact that the base of the GOP won't show up for the likes of Haley. Who's going to vote for her?

But winning isn't the never-Trumper style. Even when the GOP wins, it refuses to do anything with their victories. This is clear in how they acted after the 2016 Trump victory. The GOP owned both houses of Congress, and the Presidency. Instead of actually governing, they pretty much ceded it all to the Democrats. When the Establishment cannot win, they'll take their ball and go home.

By 2020, they couldn't turn the Trump voters against him, so they connived with the Democrats in producing a fraudulent election outcome. Then when Trump wouldn't go away, the Uniparty Establishent managed a fraudulent "insurrection". Now they are attempting more of the same kind of old tricks until the get their way. Eventually, there will be a moment of truth, when they make their play. More than likely, there will be an open coup against the wishes of the public. For this is no Democracy. It is a pretend Democracy. If the voters wishes were respected, the primary season would be handled differently. They are hoping that the public will be fooled, or too indifferent to fight back against the usurpation that is taking place.

The primary season is the one way the voters will can be demonstrated. Yet once again, the Establishment is showing their contempt for the voter, and will impose their true choices upon the public. The voters have no real choice, because the voters keep voting for what the Establishment says to vote for. That's especially true on the Democrat side. There's the same sentiment within the GOP, which the GOP Uniparty Establishment wing attempts to nuture. If (or when) that happens, Trump will be cast aside, and Haley will be annoited the candidate even though nobody really wants her, save the Establishment. That's the shell game.

The true object of the Establishment is hidden until it doesn't matter anymore. The big reveal will take place after the primaries. Then they'll have the effrontery to tell us that they are saving Democracy. The shell game is a hoax and a swindle.

Maybe there will be accountability, but I won't hold my breath.
