Democrats backpedal

April 10, 2024

After three years of the Biden White House and its enablers in Congress, blue states and the media trying to force-feed Americans a diet of pure baloney, polls showing that the Party is facing an electoral hanging in November are suddenly concentrating their minds...

Primary results

April 4, 2024

Tuesday, more primary elections were held in New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Wisconsin. The results were so predictable (Trump and Biden won their respective contests easily) that it barely made the news, but here are the results if you’re inclined to look.
The Democrats and the media (pardon my redundancy) are crowing about how the star-studded fundraiser they held in New York last week while Trump was attending a memorial for a slain NYPD officer raised a record $25 million for Biden’s reelection. They’re also pointing to Biden’s campaign chest being twice as big as Trump’s.
Former Trump Vice President Mike Pence announced that he would not endorse Trump for President this year, but not for the reason that I’m sure the media would hope he would cite. Pence thinks Trump is not strong enough on conservative issues most important to him, like abortion. Read my thoughts:

So much winning

March 4, 2024

Over the weekend, Donald Trump added to his GOP primary lead with commanding wins in the Missouri, Michigan and Idaho caucuses.

However, there was good news for Nikki Haley: she finally won her first GOP primary. The bad news: it was in DC, where Republicans are nearly as rare as fiscal responsibility. She beat Trump by nearly 2-1 in the ground zero of federal government swamp dwellers, but that was out of a turnout of fewer than 2,000 voters, and who knows how many of them were actually Republicans. Personally, I doubt that there are that many Republicans in DC, and I also doubt that most Republicans outside of DC will consider being DC’s preferred Republican to be a selling point.

Maybe DC voters approve of the fact that she’s nowhere near even being elected yet and she’s already breaking promises she put into writing. That’s a very popular thing in Washington.

She might want to savor that victory while she can because tomorrow is Super Tuesday, when 15 states plus American Samoa hold primaries. Polls suggest that Trump could garner enough delegates to nearly lock up the nomination. It takes 1,215. He currently has 244 and 874 will be awarded tomorrow.

The latest polls, even from liberal outlets like the New York Times and CBS, show that Trump is solidly ahead of Biden. Worse for Democrats, voters not only rank Biden lower than Trump for handling issues of most importance to them, such as inflation and border security, but demographics that the Dems count on to win are turning on Biden and longing for a return to the days of Trump. Here’s a detailed roundup...

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/03/03/slate-polls-show-trump-opening-firm-lead-biden-general-election-begins/

Among the findings: 97% of 2020 Trump voters say they are backing him again, while only 83% of Biden’s 2020 voters plan to make that mistake again (10% say they are switching to Trump, which if true would be devastating considering how narrow Biden’s margin was in 2020.)

Majorities of voters think Biden’s policies cause inflation to rise and hurt them personally (see, most people really are paying attention!) In a poll that must have left New York Times staffers feeling suicidal to report, Trump was ahead of Biden by nine points among men and tied among women, whom the Dems count on for their winning margin (maybe women are deciding that being able to abort babies up until they’re weaned isn’t as important as being able to afford groceries or not be robbed, raped or murdered if you step outside your house.) Although I’m certain the Dems are well ahead among people who claim they are no particular gender.

That poll also showed Trump actually ahead of Biden among Hispanics and at least cutting into the black vote to a level that would be catastrophic for Democrats if it holds.

I always caution people not to put too much stock in polls, especially polls taken months in advance of an election. These polls are encouraging (they suggest that people realize Biden’s policies have been terribly destructive to America, in some cases deliberately, and they don’t like it.) But the Dems have a ton of money for ads and free biased media on their side, and they’ve made it clear they will stop at nothing to preserve their power, from slanderous lies to trying to imprison their opponent to blocking his certification in the House (i.e., “assaulting our democracy,” which is apparently fine when they do it.)

If you love this nation and want it to survive, this is a “crawl over broken glass to vote” election. It needs to be not just a red wave but a red tsunami to overcome all the lies, lawfare, bullying and chicanery that the Dems will try to pull. So take a moment to enjoy the positive polls, then toss them aside and get back to work to win the only poll that counts, the one at the ballot box in November.

A new Gallup poll found that “immigration” (the incorrect term for the mass invasion of illegal entrants across our open border) is now the #1 issue concerning voters. More bad news for Democrats: it pushed their previous #1 worry, “government,” into the #2 spot.

It’s assumed that this surge in concern about illegal immigration is fueled by outrage over the murder of University of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, allegedly by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela who was stopped at the border but released, then arrested in New York but released again by authorities who deliberately refused to hand him over to ICE for deportation. At least New York City Mayor Eric Adams is finally calling for change in that insane policy, but it’s like closing the barn after the horses got out.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/02/27/democrat-nyc-mayor-eric-adams-calls-for-changing-sanctuary-city-law-that-protected-laken-riley-s-accused-killer/

Riley’s murder is the latest and most shocking example of Americans paying the price for the invasion of unvetted aliens, but she’s sadly not the first and only such victim. And if we count the Americans killed by fentanyl that’s pouring across the border and being distributed by illegal alien drug gangsters, the tragic human toll of Biden’s border policies is astronomical.

I’m glad to see that the American people are too smart to buy the feeble attempts to spin and gaslight this story away, from the media trying to cover up the suspect’s background by calling him “an Athens resident” to saying the crime shows the “dangers women face” when running outdoors alone.

https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/02/27/katie-porters-response-to-an-illegal-immigrant-murdering-riley-laken-is-simply-awful-n2170648

So are they trying to blame Laken for her own murder because she dared to think she had a right to go jogging without being murdered? This is as disgusting as the European media who responded to Muslim immigrant rape gangs by telling women not to dress too provocatively. Democrats have already prioritized "trans rights" over women's rights; now they're doing the same thing with "illegal alien criminal rights."

We know why she was murdered: Because Democrats believe in things like open borders, sanctuary cities, refusing to enforce laws and blaming crimes on the victims instead of the perpetrators. This poll shows that Americans now see through that. Let’s hope the polls in November show that they’ve had more than enough of it.

Trump Wins Michigan

February 29, 2024

In this week’s Michigan GOP primary, Donald Trump beat Nikki Haley by his widest margin yet. With 94% of votes counted at this writing, Trump leads by 68.2% to 26.6%, a margin of well over 40 points. Three percent were uncommitted.

https://www.westernjournal.com/nikki-haley-suffers-worst-loss-yet-trump-adds-michigan-2024-primary-win-column/

It will be interesting to hear how Haley, the media and the Never-Trumpers will spin this as a win. A couple of excuses I’ve already heard are that Trump didn’t do as well as some polls that showed him carrying up to 79% of the vote (that seems more a reflection on the polling.) And they’ll try to claim that this shows that over a quarter of Republicans want a candidate other than Trump. But something similar could be said in nearly any election. It doesn’t have to be unanimous to call it a win.

In 2016, Trump got only 36.5% of the Michigan primary vote, but he went on to win the nomination and the state. Heck, I got 0.2% of the Michigan primary vote, and I’d already dropped out of the race by then. I should’ve followed the Nikki Haley standard and claimed I was robbed.

As expected, Biden won the Democratic primary with 81.1%. Marianne Williamson got 3% and Dean Phillips took 2.7% (or as I call that, the “Anybody but Biden vote.”) But a big warning sign for Democrats is that over 13% of the vote went to “Uncommitted.” That was due to the large Arab-American population protesting Biden’s support of Israel by urging Democrats not to vote for him. They set a goal of 10,000 votes for “Uncommitted” to make their point, and at the moment, they have over 101,000.

There’s little chance of those voters turning to Trump, the best friend Israel ever had in the White House, but if it’s an indication of them being turned off enough by both candidates that they won’t vote at all, it could spell big trouble for Biden in this swing state. And what is he going to do about it? Appease his radical pro-Palestinian base by betraying Israel? That could be even worse for him politically.

This is what happens when you build political power on pandering to various identity groups. When two of those groups find their interests at odds, you have to do some pretty fancy tap-dancing to appease them both, and Joe can’t even walk across a stage without falling over.
