Episode 618 – Not a Great Platform

As the election approaches and the Democrats look to get trounced, Democrats pull out an old subject to use as their platform.

Eric Swalwell, the guy who likes screwing Chinese spies, releases a horrid campaign ad.

And a study finds our military ain’t doing so good.

 

Kamalaism

Democrats look like they are going to get pummeled in November. They are saying anything to try to convince people what is important and that things just aren’t that bad.

Here’s Karin Jean Pierre saying that people are now saving money compared to June of 2022:

God, she’s bad.

  • I’m not sure why the media accepts that the administration changes the standard to June of 2022.
    • Sure gas has gone down since June but it’s still up by $1.50 since Biden took office.
    • That should be the standard.
  • He is also looking to buy millions of barrels of oil to refill the oil reserves which is down 50% since he took office.
  • Biden also released another 15 million barrels of oil today because gas prices still remain incredibly high.

Another problem the Democrats are having is finding a platform. They can’t use the economy, foreign policy, crime, the border, homelessness or drug use. All they have is all Republicans are fascists and abortion. And they push this at every point.

Here’s Stacey Abrams, whose running for governor in Georgia and is going to get her ass kicked, talking about how abortion will lower inflation.

Wow.

Some things:

  • This is simply evil.
  • The reason she says abortion will lower inflation is because they have no idea how to lower inflation.
  • But abortion has to be their platform. They have nothing else.

 

Yawn

In order to push the abortion platform as the the main platform for Democrats, Eric Swalwell released a video of a woman being arrested because she had an abortion. It is just an awful commercial and is the definition of gaslighting. Here it is:

Some things:

  • First off, this guy is from California.
    • California is not going to outlaw abortion.
    • California is expanding abortion, according to some interpretations of the law, up to 30 days after the child is born.
    • California is trying to push laws to pay for abortions for people out of state.
  • No one is going after the women who have abortions. They are going after the doctors.
  • No one is going after women who get an abortion out of state. That’s unconstitutional.
  • This is pure gaslighting. Pure hyperbolae. But what can we expect from a guy who was screwing a Chinese spy for years.

Here’s the reality that Swalwell and Abrams don’t understand: No one cares about abortion except the far Left. Only 5% of those interviewed said it was their top issue. The economy, gas prices and crime are the top issues which the Democrats don’t want to address and those issues are way ahead of abortion.

This What Going Woke Gets You

This should put some fear into all of us.

According to the Daily Wire:

The Heritage Foundation’s Index of U.S. Military Strength assessed a wide range of areas, including threats to the U.S., the condition of the U.S. military, U.S. alliances, and more.

The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board noted that the assessment’s “weak” rating of the U.S. military was the first time it has ever received the score in the index’s nine-year history.

While the assessment found that the global operating environment from the U.S. perspective was largely favorable across the board, threats to the U.S. are rapidly increasing, with numerous nations posing a “high” threat against U.S. interests. The chief threats come from China and Russia, with Iran, North Korea, and others lagging behind.

Does the world seem more stable or less stable than it was before Biden took office? Should we keep up our military a little better at this moment? Well, we are not and we keep shipping our weapons to Ukraine.

Here is what the study finds:

  • U.S. Army — “Marginal”
    • “The Army is aging faster than it is modernizing. It remains ‘weak’ in capacity with only 62 percent of the force it should have. However, 25 of its 31 Regular Army BCTs are at the highest state of readiness, thus earning a readiness score of ‘very strong’ and conveying the sense that the service knows what it needs to do to prepare for the next major conflict.”
  • U.S. Navy — “Weak”
    • “This worrisome score, a drop from ‘marginal’ assessed in the 2022 Index, is driven by problems in capacity (‘very weak’) and readiness (‘weak’). This Index assesses that the Navy needs a battle force of 400 manned ships to do what is expected of it today. The Navy’s current battle force fleet of 298 ships and intensified operational tempo combine to reveal a service that is much too small relative to its tasks.”
  • U.S. Air Force — “Very Weak”
    • “The Air Force has been downgraded once again, the second time in the past two years. The Air Force was assessed as ‘marginal’ in the 2021 Index but, with public reporting of the mission readiness and physical location of combat aircraft implying that it would have a difficult time responding rapidly to a crisis, fell to a score of ‘weak’ in the 2022 Index. During FY 2022, the year assessed for this Index, problems with pilot production and retention, an extraordinarily small amount of time in the cockpit for pilots, and a fleet of aircraft that continues to age compounded challenges even more, leading to the current score of ‘very weak.’”
  • U.S. Marine Corps — “Strong”
    • “The score for the Marine Corps was raised to ‘strong’ from ‘marginal’ in the 2022 Index and remains ‘strong’ in this edition for two reasons: (1) because the 2021 Index changed the threshold for capacity, lowering it from 36 infantry battalions to 30 battalions in acknowledgment of the Corps’ argument that it is a one-war force that also stands ready for a broad range of smaller crisis-response tasks, and (2) because of the Corps’ extraordinary, sustained efforts to modernize (which improves capability) and enhance its readiness during the assessed year. Of the five services, the Corps is the only one that has a compelling story for change, has a credible and practical plan for change, and is effectively implementing its plan to change.”
    • I do want to point out the Marines never bought into any of this woke crap.
  • U.S. Space Force — “Weak”
    • “The mission sets, space assets, and personnel that have transitioned to the Space Force from the other services since its establishment in December 2019 and that have been added over the past two years have enabled the service to sustain its support to the Joint Force. However, there is little evidence that the USSF has improved its readiness to provide nearly real-time support to operational and tactical levels of force operations or that it is ready in any way to execute defensive and offensive counterspace operations to the degree envisioned by Congress when it authorized the creation of the Space Force.”
  • U.S. Nuclear Capabilities — “Strong”
    • “The scoring for U.S. nuclear weapons must be considered in the context of a threat environment that is significantly more dangerous than it was in previous years. Until recently, U.S. nuclear forces needed to address one nuclear peer rather than two. Given senior leaders’ reassurances with respect to the readiness and reliability of U.S. nuclear forces, as well as the strong bipartisan commitment to modernization of the entire nuclear enterprise, this year’s Index retains its grade of ‘strong,’ but only for now. U.S. nuclear forces face many risks that, without a continued commitment to a strong deterrent, could warrant a decline to an overall score of ‘marginal’ or ‘weak.’”
