Don't Believe the Media Senate Psych-Out - We’ll Win Big
What matters is that gas costs $6 a gallon. What matters is that parents are tired of little Jimmy coming home from his unionized public school, and announcing that he is now Stacy and that his accursed penis is a tool of white supremacy. What matters is that about half of Latinx Americans are just not having any of this nonsense and are treating the Democrats' demographic wishcasting like Eric Swalwell treats his boxer shorts.
You will hear nothing from the regime media for the next hundred days until the general election except how the GOP is doomed, dying, and done for. It’s a psy-op, and a cheesy one. But it’s all they’ve got. The Democrats know that unless they can disillusion and demoralize us into giving up, they are on the way to the electoral woodchipper. That’s why you will see MSM polling about how our candidates just can’t win. Believe nothing. Remember the one in 2020 showing how Trump was down 17 in Wisconsin? If you believe any polls, I have a slightly used-unicorn to sell you - his name is Chet and he enjoys long walks and interpretative dance.
We can’t let them get us down. We got this. That’s not just talk. The correlation of forces favors us. History teaches us that midterm elections are almost always a festival o’ failure for the party in power. And you combine historical trends with a president whose policies are political monkeypox and you have a red tsunami. Of course, some durwood candidate who maybe is a witch, or hears voices, or who likes to tie up his girlfriends in the basement and get caught, can blow a sure thing. But we seemed to have avoided them this time. All our people have to do to win the Senate majority is not actively screw up.
Let’s go through some of the races, shall we?
Civilization Cannot Exist Without Righteous Retribution
Imposing order means harshness. It requires that actual criminals be treated with the swift, sudden, and relentless force that today only people who pray at abortion mills or who take selfies in the Capitol receive. Their treatment by the garbage feds demonstrates that law enforcement knows how to crack down. It’s just that the crackdown should be on actual criminals instead of the political enemies of the Biden regime. Cleaning up law enforcement is another topic and another column, or even a whole book. But one thing that must happen is empowering the properly led and directed police to go after the bad people like they today go after the good people. The Soros DAs must be purged. The restraints on policing thugs must come off. We must collectively shrug when a video shows cops capping or kicking the ass of some degenerate, and if there is a riot then that riot must be crushed. We did that in Los Angeles in 1992 – it is a matter of will.
That is the thing – public order and safety are a matter of will. We know how to do it; we’ve done it. We just have to choose to do it again and reject the whining and wailing of those who benefit politically from letting criminals run rampant. You know, Democrats.
And we inevitably will make that choice. It’s human nature; people can only be pushed so far before they either push back themselves or rally behind someone who ruthlessly will. There is going to be a backlash. The question is what kind there will be. I propose a purposeful, conscious backlash where society says “Enough” and uses the present justice system and structures to stamp out crime. But if that does not happen, then there will be a harsher backlash, one that could easily spin out of control into excess. That’s when civilization starts falling apart. Remember the olden days, when there was no crime in mafia neighborhoods because if you tried to mug Mrs. Andolini on her way home from mass the cops found you in the trunk of a Buick parked in New Jersey divided into twelve pieces?
Tough but fair. Yet, the reaction to come might not be so relatively orderly and focused. It’s not a problem for you or me, since we’re not criminals, but it might get out of control. Yet that’s still better than normal people living in fear.
Choose wisely. Choose to stop tolerating this chaos.
The 2024 Race Is Already Underway
Last Sunday afternoon I got bored – you can only slap around so many Twitter pinko blue checks before it gets monotonous – and I decided to toss a match into a barrel of high-octane gasoline. I tweeted “Okay, let's do this thing. Who do you hardcore patriots want to see win the GOP 2024 nomination right this minute, knowing you can change your mind as the primary progresses...” Then I listed the poll choices and set it to run for two hours. I expected a few hundred results, and for the former president to come in ahead of the pack.
That did not happen. In just two short hours, 14,713 people voted in the poll and the responses were shocking:
- President Donald J. Trump - 32.6%
- Governor Ron DeSantis - 64.1%
- Another based GOPer - 1.8%
- Liz Cheney or her ilk - 1.6%
Perhaps the most stunning part was that 1.6% of the people following me on Twitter supported Liz Cheney, Larry Hogan, or some other Never Trump dork. But the fact that nearly two-thirds of the poll voters picked Ron DeSantis over Donald Trump was pretty amazing too.
Now, these people are not soft Republicans. These are not moderate invertebrates. These are not cruise ship cons. My timeline is predominantly hardcore folks who generally like Donald Trump. They think he did a pretty good job as president. They think the last election was flawed. They will vote for him if he wins the nomination without hesitation. But only three in ten put him as their first choice for the Republican nomination in 2024.
The Unbearable Sadness of Toots Swalwell
Poor Eric is as unhappy has the guy trapped in a Buick with him on a hot day after hitting the Taco Bell drive-thru. He cannot be on the Intelligence Committee anymore. His humiliation and bellyaching bode well for the tenure of Kevin McCarthy, the guy who applied his Doc Martens to the Californian’s flatulent fanny. Kevin McCarthy kept his word and kept his off the committee. That’s awesome. It would be easy to back away from his promise – his predecessors made that a habit – but the new Speaker endured the fussy flack of the regime media and held his ground. Excellent. I had my doubts about him, and I’m still not fully convinced, but we need to reward proper behavior.
And making Eric Swalwell sad while protecting our secrets is proper behavior. He is now claiming that he is getting death threats – he even posted some. Amateur. I get harsher ones when I point out how dumb people who think there are more than two genders are – don’t get me started on the hate I’ve gotten over the years when I mock bronies and other perverted weirdos. And He Who Dealt It is accusing Kevin McCarthy of wanting his kids dead. Well, Eric did get the guy who allegedly made the comment fired, but if Swalwell was a man concerned with his family 1) we would not be making Fang Fang jokes because there would have been no Fang Fang bang bang, and 2) he would own what he calls an “assault rifle” to protect his kin – you know, the very weapons he wanted to nuke American patriots for owning.
But he has not done those things. He thinks that if he cries hard enough about the same crap his friends pull on us every day, we will stop talking and defending our interests. But we won’t. If nasty people are nasty to him, too bad. Not our fault, nor our problem. It is not entirely correct to say that I don’t care if people threaten him. It is more that I care exactly about what mean people do to him as much as he cares about what his commie pals do to me.

You cannot fix a problem if you will not actually do what you need to do to fix the problem, and it is unclear whether these media leaders (that is, at least until the worse generation drives them all away) really want the kind of neutral truth-teller journalism model they all wax nostalgic for. After all, it was not the post-teen radical crowd that pushed the Russia hoax, the insurrection hoax, the climate hoax, the mask/vaxx hoax, the pangolin hoax, and all the other hoaxes. These same “respected journalists” are now upset because these kooky kids are making it hard to hide the bias inherent in the nature of American media.
Krakauer has it right on the nature of the media and how that creates these problems – these people are all the same, geographically co-located in the same coastal enclaves, educated in the same overrated resorts for rich kids, and they are all eager members of the same mediocre ruling class. They talk about speaking truth to power, but that becomes a challenge when they like the power that comes from being them. And they hate the rest of us. They are not us. We are Other. Walk through a major newsroom. Is there anyone who goes to an evangelical church? Who owns a Wilson Combat CQB .45 or similar lead freedom dispenser? Who thinks that men cannot become women through the power of wanting? Who thinks global warming is a crock and that Greta Thunberg is a weird, scowling kobold? How about someone who did a hitch in the 82nd Airborne? Or who did a job that involved perspiration?
These defenders of democracy will never democratize themselves, which is why Krakauer is wrong. He hopes that revealing the regime media’s failures will shame it into reform, but he fails to account for the possibility that these bugs are actually features. The media likes it how it is. The ones currently in charge or with prestige want to keep their power and positions. To them, the real problem with those wokesters is that the younger radicals are the competition.

There Is No Hope for the Regime Media
For a long time, we had a norm about trying not to prosecute political opponents even when we could. You beat them at the ballot box. But then they got more brazen, and there was no ambiguity about their crimes. They were actual crimes, and they rubbed them in our face. The Felonia Milhouse von Pantsuit toilet server stuff struck a nerve because so many of us knew what a big deal treating classified materials like her husband treated interns is (or was) – if we had done that, we’d be charged and in some fed pen converting large rocks to tiny ones. But she did not get charged. That looming doofus James Comey invented a new legal requirement for the statute that never existed before and never would exist if it was us. And there’s the First Crackhead buying a gun when he’s a drug addict – again, you know that if we lied on a Form 4473 the AFT would be SWATing us in our cribs. They took the sensible norm of reluctance and mocked us with it.
So, let’s not do that anymore. Let’s not bend over backwards to avoid charging our political enemies with their crimes. And if we have to be creative about the crimes and create novel new theories to ensnare our opponents, so be it. Alvin Bragg was creative. That’s the New Rule. Let’s see how they like being served up a dose of that kind of legal suppository.
“BUT THE RULE OF LAW!!!!”
Yeah, what rule of law is that?

So, after screaming about this crap for better than 25 yrs now, Pundits are finally starting to sound the alarms to stand up & fight....this Country is getting EXACTLY what it deserves....For a long time, we had a norm about trying not to prosecute political opponents even when we could.

We’re Watching the Rule of Law Get Flushed Down the Toilet
Joe Biden – imagine being so lucky as to have an entire regime media out there dedicated to covering up your incompetency, senility, perversion, and corruption. Apparently, this guy is out there taking bribes. Now, I know it's based on an anonymous whistleblower, but apparently, that's the best kind of evidence. That's the kind of evidence you can impeach people for. The New York Post is writing it, and you'll see some of it on Twitter, but what about The New York Times? Republicans pounce on Joe Biden's entrepreneurial activity – to the extent they even mention it. It's total crap, but what are you going to do? Well, we're going to watch the law swirl around the toilet and get flushed into the sewer. Look at the campaign to delegitimize the Supreme Court because it's conservative, the reaction to some freaky spazz who had been arrested 40 times and was out on a warrant for assaulting a 67-year-old woman getting choked out on a New York City subway by a Marine, and the bizarre bullcrap rape case against Donald Trump – have you noticed a common theme among these disparate elements? None of these are like the law. The law has to be one law for everybody, applied equally, all the time. And right now, it isn't.
