What If the Trump Backed Candidates Win In November?


   Democrats have made a cynical ploy of spending a lot of money "opposing" candidates that support Pres. Trump in GOP primaries, with the intent of actually making them the opponents in the general election. They have had some success, in some big contests. However, what if these "extreme, radical" Trumpists actually beat their Democratic opponents in November? 

   I'm not getting into specific prognostications, just imagining what will happen. The GOP will be saddled with a new bunch of office holders that aren't "establishment" pols, and the Democrats will have helped that happen. Some of these candidates look like real whackos, but not all of them. Also, our system is one of checks and balances, which limits the power of any elected official.

   The Dems, on the other hand, will still have lost those seats they expected to win, and it's worth looking at their own internal divides. I don't know of any corresponding scheme by the GOP to support "far left" Democrats in the primaries. The candidates that will lose to these GOP candidates may be moderates, which will hurt the Dems more than any Trumpist Republican will the GOP. 

   There are still huge differences between the parties, and there are several things that Trumpist Republicans share with "establishment" Republicans, and a majority of independent voters. They oppose the far-left policies of Pres. Biden, and his Democratic majority. The Democrats are doing their best to distract voters from what's in front of their eyes, but it's not working.

   The only real issue in the midterm elections is how to stop the destruction of the economy, the Southern border, the military, public education, and law enforcement, as well as restraining the bureaucratic behemoth that has enabled this destruction. This is an election about putting a check and balance on an administration that is out of control.

   Republicans always have a faction that either gets suckered by, or willingly goes along with Democrats, as shown by the recent "semiconductor" slush fund corporate welfare bill. Perhaps voters can ignore all of the "stolen election" rhetoric, to get some politicians that will actually vote for the people they represent's interest.

   I'm not a fan of Trump, anymore, but I still support most of his policies. I don't like candidates that want to "audit" the last presidential election, or claim it was "stolen." SO WHAT? Kennedy stole the election from Nixon, but Nixon came back, without bemoaning "Chicago" for years. I could still hold my nose, and vote for a representative that supported Trump's nonsense, because they also support the policies that I do. 

   This "stop the steal" stuff is just bologna, meant to capture die-hard Trump voters. It really has no bearing on what they are being elected to do. That's why I think that the Dem's scheme to support Trump-backed candidatess may backfire. If it happens, I told you so!!!

The Biden Record, and the Democrats Who Supported It, Pt. 4: How Biden Blew Up the Economy With Inflation

   The US economy is in chaos. This is not "spin," or "opinion," but a fact. Some people aren't feeling it as hard as others, because they were well-off before the inflation started. Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come, and it will affect those "well-off" people, to a greater degree than it does currently, as the recession sets in. It also will present a crisis for government, as the interest rates for the chronic borrowing that sustains all of their largesse double, triple, or even quadruple. How did we get here, after what was shaping up as a robust recovery from the pandemic response inspired recession?    When Pres. Biden was elected, almost every policy that had been in place was reversed. We've looked at the disatrous results of this on the southern border , but what's happened to our economy has impacted many more Americans. It started out on day one, when Biden killed the KeystoneXL pipeline, followed by freezing new federal leases ...

HATE FROM THE MOUTHS OF CHILDREN: AUTUM (AUTUMN?) ASHANTE AND THE GAEDE TWINS

Image
AUTUM ASHANTE LAMB AND LYNX GAEDE I hate to have to write this, but it has to be written. Beautiful children's minds are being corrupted with racial hatred, and their parents are profiting from it. The Gaede twins have a pop band, and Miss Ashante is a poetic prodigy. The parents promote their children's careers. These young girls are the true victims of racism, because they are predestined to continue this cycle of hate. Autum Ashante (-or is it spelled Autumn Ashante ?) is a 7-year old child, home-schooled by her parents (according to the NY POST -free registration required- see below for more on this). I heard it reported on MSNBC that they are members of the Nation of Islam, but I can't confirm that elsewhere. This young lady gave a recital of her poem, "White Nationalism Put U in Bondage." Some excerpts: "Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse."..."They took the gold, the wisdom and all the storytellers. They took th...

The Biden Debacle Part II

  In my previous post, I wrote about Pres. Biden's disastrous policy at the border, as well as it's impact on the spread of COVID. I also noted his false promise of bipartisanship, and embrace of the far left agenda. This post will deal with some of that agenda, including it's impact on the economy, law enforcement, race relations, education and the military. They're all interconnected in no small way, and Pres. Biden is making a mess of them all. With the left wing ascendant in his own party, he has found it easier to go along with them, rather than work with Republicans, even when they propose policies that a majority of Democrats support. The economy was recovering before Biden assumed office, and yet he continues to push a long wish list of leftist policies in the name of "recovery." The extension of unemployment benefits is a good example of how they can backfire. While he denies that the extra payments were keeping people from returning to work, the sta...
