  1. (3) I heard that for the first time today. How insane! Quite the opposite is true.

    It reminds me of the movie Rising Sun, written by Michael Crichton, starring Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes.

    At a point in the plot where Sean and Wesley are in deep trouble against some very powerful people in Japan and Wesley is or was the lead police detective, Sean tells him, “Next, they will accuse you of racism.” Exactly.

    (5) So in Los Gatos, Biden couldn’t complete a whole sentence, and yet he raised 2.7 million. How much would he have raised if he had completed whole sentences? What is wrong with these rich people??

  2. And don’t forget Walter Cronkite. He began a story on the CBS Evening News by stating “Barry Goldwater is going places, and the first place he is going is Germany.” Good ol’ down-the-middle, unbiased Uncle Walter.

  3. Fascism as an ideology was always left-wing. Mussolini conceived it as an refinement of socialism, where government binding people together made them stronger. Thus his motto “Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state”.

  4. All the Democrats who had contact with Biden knew about his problems. This includes Kamala, who just this week insisted that Biden is still totally competent to be president. Democrats just didn’t want to admit it because they thought Kamala would be an even worse candidate, which she is.

  5. No, I messed up. 🙂 You wouldn’t catch me doing much of anything metric except for counting meters rowed on my rowing machine.

  6. Granted, he wasn’t as bad on the campaign trail in 2020 as he is now, but the signs were beginning even then, the bizarre angry outbursts against random strangers on the street. He was disinhibited.

  7. “Remember Maricopa County? Well, they’re announcing in advance that it will probably take 10-13 days to get election results there. So very reassuring!”

    To be fair, it would take a few days to figure out how many votes they need to get their girl over the top, then a few more days to “find” all those boxes of “misplaced” ballots and then a few more days to add them to the count, so I’d say their estimate is reasonable.

  8. Kate, we should really continue the mix of metric and English that we have using:
    Weight in kilograms as the numbers are smaller than for pounds;
    and waist measurements in inches vs. cm. for the same reason. 🙂

  9. Emhoff, who is such a great example of a Jew he got the story of Hanukkah all messed up in 2023.
    What kind of Jew would get that story so messed up ?
    Yes, I realize the version we have now may or may not be entirely historically correct, but the way he told it was laughable.

  10. If you want to have some fun confront a Democrat/Socialist/Communist about Hitler and the Nazi party whenever they refer to someone as “far-right Nazi”. When you politely ask them if the Nazi party was right-wing, the historically-illiterate will invariably answer, “Well, of course they were.”

    I always point out that “Nazi” was short-hand of “Ignatz”, a derogatory term for members of NSDAP, which in turn stood for “Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei”. Translated into English this roughly means “National Socialist German Worker’s Party”. Pointing out that “National Socialist” and “Worker’s Party” don’t sound particularly right-wing causes extreme cognitive dissonance within their tiny little pig-ignorant brains. Mentioning that the only reason that the post-Weimar-era German Communists (largely funded by the Russian Communists) formed the original “Anti-Fascist” (aka, “Antifa”) groups were that the fascist were ONLY socialists, and didn’t take collectivism far enough like a good Communist should.

    I’ve had hard-core collectivists (completely uninformed about their own political history) tell me that I’m just making it up, and that the Nazi’s were all right-wingers. All you can do is point and laugh at them.

    That Leftist morass of political misinformation, Wikipedia, STILL refers to the Nazi party as “far right”.

  11. Maricopa County is required to do signature verification on mailed/delivered ballots. Allegedly they’re getting better at this, but we’ll see. They can’t start the verification until Election Day. That’s why they report the in-person voting immediately, but the other ballots take days to process.

    The current county recorder lost his reelection bid in the R primary, so perhaps in the future something better can be devised.

    Maricopa County is that very rare thing, a Red city and county. But it’s close enough that factors like the Scottsdale moms (wealthy white gals who liked McCain) matter. Tucson is all communists, according to Phoenicians. Aside from the Navajo/Hopi county in the northeast, the rest of the state is red, but not many folks live out there.

    And that’s the other thing. Elections have been so close that those outstate little counties matter a lot.

    Rs are leading in returned ballots. That’s never happened before. And the TV is abortion, extreme, abortion, abortion, abortion.
