Election

Episode 102 Show Notes – Tis the Season

So much stupid after the holidays. It must be the tryptophan.

 

Only 1500 Candidates Left

We lost three candidates this week. Two of them I doubt you’ve heard of. Heck, I didn’t even know they were running.

Gov. Steve Bullock of Montana dropped out. He polled at 1% for a week before he crashed out at 0%.

Joe Sestak also pulled out. He never went above 0% and was only able to raise $500,000 during his entire campaign. He was a former Navy Admiral. He blamed the press of course.

The biggest surprise was Kamala Harris pulling out of the race. Though she never really got any traction, I thought she’s stick in there waiting for a second wind. Let’s face it: the other candidates are such garbage.

Harris said, “I’ve taken stock and looked at this from every angle, and over the last few days have come to one of the hardest decisions of my life. My campaign for the presidency simply doesn’t have the financial resources we need to continue.”

Of course, everyone blamed racism and sexism. They also pointed out how everyone in the field is white (I guess Booker changed his race recently). Here are some colorful Tweets.

“Kamala Harris officially ended her campaign today, which means that all of the candidates who currently qualify for the December Democratic debate are white (Sanders, Warren, Biden, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, and Steyer). White supremacy is not just a Fox News problem, folks,” tweeted journalist Lauren Duca.

“Kamala Harris’ campaign was historic — a black and South Asian female candidate whose potential seemed sky high early on. Her dropping out means that every candidate that’s qualified so far for the next debate is white: Biden, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Sanders, Steyer, and Warren,” tweeted CNN correspondent MJ Lee. 

“Kamala Harris dropping out of the race while only white candidates qualify for the next presidential debate shows that white privilege and white supremacy cut across party lines. It’s not just Trump. We have a racism problem in all of the United States of America, and it sucks,” tweeted SJW activist Dr. Eugene Gu.

Wow!

No, no, no.

Joe Biden started his “No Malarkey” tour and it’s not going well. Not only is he getting killed with his own words, people don’t see interested. There is a picture of him in a diner trying to converse with a patron who wants nothing to do with him. Take a look below:

That’s what you get when you bust some guy’s ass during Sunday Night Football.

 

Terror Attack in London

A convicted terrorist used a knife to kill two people and seriously injure three more. Now, stay with me, this gets really weird.

The main hero worked at a museum and was attacked by the terrorist. He was cut in the hand. That’s when he grabbed a Narwhal tusk hanging on the wall. If you don’t know what a Narwhal is, it’s a whale that has a unicorn tusk.

Another guy grabbed a fire extinguisher and started spraying the terrorist.

A third man joined the fray and grabbed the knife from the terrorist.

The police showed up and shot the terrorist dead.

The terrorist was already convicted of being a terrorist for wanting to blow up a building and was sentenced to 16 years in prison. But he was released for good behavior.

This is the problem with a society that is run by Leftist ideology.

The story gets weirder.

One of the “heroes” was convicted of strangling and slitting the throat of his girlfriend. He was on a work-release program. Oh, by the way, she was mentally disabled.

What?

And not this guy is probably going to get off of his murder because he did something during this attack (we don’t know what).

Auntie of his victim is pissed. She did not know he was on a work release from a 15-year sentence.

“He is not a hero. He is a murderer out on day release, which us as a family didn’t know anything about. He murdered a disabled girl. He is not a hero, absolutely not. The police liaison officer called me saying he was on the TV. I am so angry. They let him out without even telling us. Any of my family could have been in London and just bumped into him.”

Good job, England!

Gee, Why is He Not on a Football Team?

Colin Kaepernick showed up at an American Indian event called un-Thanksgiving Day where Americans Indians protest the “stealing 1.5 billion acres of land from Indigenous people.”

“And that struggle has continued for that 50 years. It’s our responsibility to honor our ancestors and honor our elders by carrying on that struggle. Don’t let their sacrifices be in vain.

“That’s why it’s important for all of us to be here today – to show that we’re together, that we’re unified, that we have that solidarity. And I hope to spend many more of these with you.”

He later Tweeted:

This year marks the 50th anniversary of when Native Americans took and held Alcatraz Island in San Francisco to protest the “loss” of their lands. The former prison was decommissioned in 1963 so there were a whole lot of tourists that were inconvenienced.

Two things are at point here: the United States is bad and Native Americans are victims. Neither is right. Things to know about the Native Americans:

  • Thanksgiving did happen. There is documentation that even named who attended.
  • Native Americans and the settlers were at peace for fifty years after the original Thanksgiving, trading goods and land. Only after conflicts over land deals did they start fighting (Manhattan is an example).
  • This was not a genocide. Yes, the settlers killed 50% of the Native American population but the Native American population killed 30% of the settler population. This was a war.
  • We forget that the Native Americans were also warring with each other and committing atrocities such as enslavement, rape, cannibalism, scalping and human sacrifice. Watch Mel Gibson’s Apocolypto. That movie was pretty accurate.
  • The Native Americans did not have this love for the land everyone is talking about. They were responsible for the endangerment of the local animals through hunting.
  • The American Indians were way behind technologically. They had not discovered the wheel and did not domesticate animals such as the horse. The settlers showed them this.
  • The settlers did not purposefully infect the the Native Americans with disease. They did not give them blankets infected with small pox. In fact, they knew little about how disease was transferred.
  • The settlers did not steal the Native American land. They traded land for lumber, metals and technology. And the Native Americans were not under paid. Land was also claimed when the Native Americans lost the war.
  • The United States, when acknowledging their faults, and they were at fault on a lot of things, tried to make amends through the reservation system, lower or no taxes and reparations. The Native Americans never acknowledged their atrocities.

 

The United States did what every other civilization has done throughout human history: take over land. In other words, migrate. You think American Indians (South and North) didn’t do that? You think the Incas, Mayans and Aztecs did not claim land through violence?

And that goes with slavery too. The New York Times wanted everyone to believe that slavery began in 1619 when 20 African slaves were brought to America. That’s a lie.

Here’s the thing: slavery and death are common when it comes to human migration. It’s still happening throughout the world. The United States didn’t discover this. It’s still happening today. But the Left only wants to blame the United States. Even though we have done more than any other country to make up for it.

I think that is why we are going through this today. The United States has taken responsibility for its actions but the Left needs to keep beating on it.

Tis the Season to Hate America

Jan Williams of Black Lives Matter said:

“Part of the Black Xmas campaign is to educate black folks about what we’re doing, about the importance of holding back our dollars during this holiday season.”

Dr. Melina Abdullah said Christmas is, “frenzy of consumerism that’s rooted in white capitalism.”

From the Daily Wire:

According to BLM’s Black Xmas website, the seasonal exercise “is not a call to replace White capitalism with Black capitalism, but to engage in ‘cooperative economics’ (the Kwanzaa principle of Ujamaa).”

Of course, There has to be a comment about Donald Trump:

“Donald Trump embodies White capitalism. If you are anti-Trump, you should hold back your resources from him and the like.”

It her Op-Ed from the L.A. Sentinel, Dr. Abdullah states about “police violence”:

“In addition to investing in our own communities, #BlackXmas and the emerging economic empowerment work of Black Lives Matter is intended as a divestment from White corporations that contribute to the murder, death, abuse, and exploitation of Black people in real terms. We assert that White capitalism is killing our people in very real terms, most starkly through its utilization of a violent, racist, police force to protect its quest for profit. …

“Black people, we must be radical in our approach, daring to get to the root of it all. White capitalism requires racist, violent policing to protect it. In order to eliminate police violence, and the killings of our people at their hands, we must also target the economic systems that built it and rely on it.”

This is getting so old. No wonder Black Lives Matter has become irrelevant.

The Media Searches for a New Narrative

Trump is accused of sexual assaulted but the accuser is a little iffy. The democratic presidential candidates are going way left in preparation for the debates. And the Chicago Police department is really laying in to Jussie Smollett.

And I’m not even going to bring up the immigration crisis. Lots of stuff going on.

 

Another Trump Accusation

E.Jean Carroll is an advice columnist and author. She is also the latest woman to claim to have been sexually assaulted by President Trump in the mid-90s. Now, here’s what’s funny: this was a big deal on Friday. This gal went to several news outlets telling her story.

I am very skeptical about this whole story. Here’s the CNN interview with Carroll. It is graphic but I think you’ll see where I’m coming from one you listen to this woman.

I don’t know what’s worse: This woman’s really strange story, her woke-ness or the interview with CNN’s anchor Alisyn Camerota. Camerota never pushed back, never questioned why she didn’t go to the police, never asked her why she doesn’t go to the police now (we’ll get into that later) and called Trump a rapist without any proof being offered up. She didn’t even ask for proof. Awesome journalisming!

Like I said before, I do not put a lot of stock in this woman or her story. Matt Walsh from the Daily Wire (subscribe) had a great article about why this gal has no credibility. I’ll talk about his talking points and then throw in a couple of other things.

First, the description of the scene is completely implausible. They’re in a department store and go into a dressing room. But no one sees anything. Cameras do not catch anything. It’s a sexual assault. There’s noise and struggling but no one heard or saw anything before, during and after? Also, why would she go into a dressing room with a man she didn’t know? The story makes no sense.

Next, she never reported it to police and doesn’t want an investigation opened. In New York, there is no statute of limitations for rape and she says she still has the dress she was wearing that day (weird). There could be DNA evidence. But she doesn’t want the police to open an investigation. What’s her reasoning? Well, she gave an answer: “I would find it disrespectful to the women who are down on the border who are being raped around the clock down there without any protection. The women have very little protection there. It would just be disrespectful.” Yeah, OK.

So why even bring this up? To sell books. That’s the only reason to bring up after twenty years and still not want an investigation being done. She needs to generate some excitement for her book. Give people a reason to want to read it. Because she’s trashing Trump and making her rounds though the left wing media outlets, she’s sure to see a few copies. Very few looking at CNN’s ratings.

But I also have a theory. Listen to this short clip of her on Anderson Cooper’s show on CNN and you might get where I’m going with this:

Hello? She’s nuts! I’m not talking about her being slightly loopy, I mean sitting-in-a-bathtub-filled-with-jello crazy. She doesn’t want the police to investigate because of the border crisis? She thinks rape is kind of sexy? I might read her book because God only knows what she is going to say.

Well, the media tried to get this brush fire started but it turned out to be raining out. I know the media needs a new narrative but this story died fast. It was released on Friday and, by Monday, it was dead.

 

The Must Be A Debate Coming

The first democratic debates are Wednesday and Thursday and that means that the candidates have been going crazy to get attention. And it’s all so delicious.

Bernie Sanders says that he wants the government to tax Wall Street with a transaction tax. Then, take the $2.2 trillion and pay off all the student debt. Of course he’s forgetting about people currently in college so the number is closer to $4 trillion. While he’s at it, he should pay off my car loan and mortgage.

Reparations for blacks because of slavery is so last week. Elizabeth Warren says we should pay reparations to gay people. No kidding. She says that since gay people were not allowed to be married they should be able to get tax breaks from years before for having a partner. Yeah, that has about as much chance of working than slavery reparations.

When asked if he would meet with the anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, Cory “Spartacus” Booker said he wouldn’t mind meeting with him to hear what Farrakhan had to say. Mind you, this is after he lambasted Joe Biden for saying that he used to have to negotiate with segregationists back in the 1970’s to get things done. I guess being anti-Semitic is not the same as being a racist.

Pete Buttigieg isn’t saying much of anything but he is sure to get torn up in the debates. He had to go back to South Bend, Indiana, where he is mayor, because of an officer involved shooting of a black man. He had a town hall event to try to calm the racial tension. It didn’t go well for him:

He looked weak and uncertain. Not a good look for a man who wants to hold the most powerful position in the world. He asked the government to do a special investigation of the police and the shooting. So not only did he piss off the black people but now he pissed off law enforcement and those who support him. This guy can’t even run South Bend, how in the heck is he going to run the country.

The debates are going to be an absolute riot! I think we’re just seeing the tip of crazy. Can’t wait to see what is going to be promised.

 

Speaking of Crazy

Jussie Smollett really ticked off the Chicago Police Department.

This week, along with all of the other evidence against him, they released the body cam video from the officers who first met Smollett after his “attack”. You remember the attack? The one where he paid two of his buddies to rough him up, put a noose around his head while yelling “this is MAGA country” while wearing red hats. Take a look at the video.

I thought him getting attacked at 2:30 in the morning while getting a Subway sandwich by two white guys who loved Trump in Chicago was dumb enough. There are no Trump supporters in Chicago. But this video is so ridiculous I had to show it off.
