Biden's Obnoxious Assertion That He Seeks To Unify

/

  • Although no state has actually yet certified its vote tally for President, Joe Biden a couple of days ago (November 7) gave his first speech assuming his potential victory. Here is a brief excerpt:

  • I pledge to be a President who seeks not to divide, but to unify. Who doesn’t see red and blue states, but a United States. And who will work with all my heart to win the confidence of the whole people.

  • What complete horseshit. Biden’s entire campaign was premised on accusing his opponent and his opponent’s supporters of being evil people, racists and white supremacists, vicious enemies of the poor and downtrodden.

  • Those claims and accusations have continued even since the election, and there can be no doubt that they will go on indefinitely. . . .

A True Progressive Looks At The Election Results

/

  • While we wait for final results in the race for President, other interesting data from the voting have begun to emerge.

  • For example, NBC has come out with an exit poll of voters, that breaks down the Biden/Trump vote by demographic factors like age, sex and race.

  • Of course this exit poll seems to have overestimated the Biden vote similarly to most of the pre-election polls. (They have the overall vote at about 53/46 in favor of Biden; actual is more like 51/48.)

  • With those caveats, this poll has some very interesting information in the category of results by race, ethnicity and sex. . . .

The Ascendancy Of The Basket Cases -- 2020 Edition

/

  • The very first posts on this blog went up on November 6, 2012. By pure coincidence, that was election day — the day when Barack Obama was re-elected to his second term as President.

  • By late that evening we knew the result. (Doesn’t that seem so quaint now?) It did not appear to be close: Obama had won 332 electoral votes to Romney’s 206.

  • The next day, November 7, I wrote a post about the result, which I titled “The Ascendancy of the Basket Cases.” That post pointed out that the election was much closer than it may have seemed.

  • In fact, the overall result turned on the outcome in a handful of states; and in each of those states, Obama had run up a huge margin in some major city, which was then sufficient to overcome a substantial Romney majority in the rest of the state. The particular handful of cities in question, which had determined the election result, were not just any cities, but what I called the “basket cases” . . .

  • Flash forward to today. . . .

"Experts" Weigh In On The Zero Carbon Energy Plan

/

  • Within a few short hours, we will know who our next President will be. Maybe, with any luck, this will be my last chance to be horrified by the prospect of a Biden presidency.

  • Lately, I’ve been focused, perhaps too much so, on Joe Biden’s manifest corruption, his selling out U.S. foreign policy to our worst geo-political rivals to benefit his family financially. But we mustn’t forget that Biden also represents a prospective public policy catastrophe, nowhere more so than in the arena of energy policy.

  • If you listened to Biden at the debates, you would have heard him promise that his energy plan for rapid elimination of fossil fuels would bring hundreds of thousands (or maybe it was millions) of new high paying green energy jobs.

  • Did this sound to you like a good idea?

We Have Ceded Too Much Moral Authority To The Federal Government

/

  • Our Constitution was intentionally written to accommodate a diversity of world-views. Yet in the 21st century, progressives seem to want our president to personally represent the values of the 330 million people living in this country.

  • The policy positions driving the left to the polls in the upcoming election show an accelerating trend towards conflating government with religion.

  • The push to impose a uniform moral order represents a significant change, and not for the better.

Biden Corruption: An In-Depth Investigation Of The Ukraine Allegations

/

  • Of all the revelations about Biden family members cashing in on Joe Biden’s influence — revelations arising from Ukraine, China, Iraq, Romania, Kazakhstan, and other places — those relating to Ukraine are likely the most damning.

  • Certainly, the revelations relating to Ukraine are the ones that most definitively involve criminal conduct. After all, Ukraine is the country where Joe admitted (actually, bragged) on tape about threatening to withhold a billion dollars of U.S. aid unless a prosecutor got fired — a prosecutor who happened to be investigating the company where Joe’s son Hunter was getting $1 million per year to sit on the board. “And son of a bitch, he got fired.”

  • That clear admission alone would prove the hardest part of what you would need to convict under 18 USC Section 201.
