So now it's 2024 and there they go again, to invoke some words of President Ronald Reagan, one of the largest organized gangs in the country, coming together like their not quite so vociferous counterparts in the Republican Party, to raise a little hell and money while reading from the leftist script. Even the union faithful are in attendance (isn't that Shawn Fain of the UAW across the way, the UAW president whose members will be jobless when American car companies are forced to manufacture even more electric cars nobody wants?), as in workers of the world unite! Except the Teamsters aren't there, as their leadership wisely decided Donald Trump's America First philosophy might just be a little more in keeping with our national identity than the wishes of those who hate or long to continue converting our freedoms into something different entirely.
It's a circus of the bizarre in Chicago this week, but instead of paying a nickel to see a bearded fat lady we behold VP Kamala Harris, not long ago the scourge of her party, incapable of getting enough votes to beat any candidate for any reason. Suddenly, as if by an in-house coup -- which it was -- Joe Biden, solid votes from his delegates notwithstanding, is summarily removed from the next election. Now it's just peachy for the managed media to report on his family corruption and Hunter -- oh, Hunter, yes, write the truth now and let it all out! Because? Because Democrat insiders and higher-ups have chosen panic over reason and selected The Chosen One, an example of the first woman president they hanker to elect -- and one who can also take the sum total of the universal color-arium and proclaim herself black, sort of like Obama-black in political terms. Hey, it might just work. Bonus: She was raised among a Marxist family and apparently wants to run the U.S. government with those cherished communist ways.
But before this new leftist hero is properly propped up before the TV cameras and the crowds to officially accept what has already been anointed by people who care nothing whatsoever about giving voters a choice, there must come a vice-presidential candidate -- and ain't Tim Walz a beauty?! Aside from the veteran thing -- I mean, I'm also a veteran, so I'm not going to dwell -- this guy seems to have quite the appetite for socialism. After all, as he himself said, one man's socialism is another man's neighborliness. Until this marvel of a governor came along, I always thought my neighbors were being neighborly out of friendship, but now I see the error of my ways and realize they're just socialists, the lowest of the low.
Seems like the soft communism lock-on is ready to go as speeches and promises rattle out of Chicago this week. Young clueless voters sucked up by Democrat vacuum cleaners will marvel over the prospect of free home down-payments and even more money to buy that home, while old folks on the verge of leftist-initiated senility will ooh and aah at the prospect of lower drug prices. Yes, the Democrats will fix all the ills for which they are directly responsible and, no matter what they offer, the bill will still need to be paid by you.
And put your ears to the ground: Can you hear even one word about deportation of illegal aliens and their illegal children -- the ones costing you billions of dollars without end, paid by taxpayers all over the country? Is there so much as a murmur about ridding our economy of "anchor babies?" Crickets, all we usually hear is crickets from the left -- until Democrat playbook puppet Harris come up with a useless program that sounds good but will fail in practice.
Most of her ideas would need to go through Congress, where we would hope a similar vein of stupidity does not dwell after the elections.
Her chant for price controls, as she blames supermarkets and everybody but big government for inflation and the position in which we find ourselves, has never worked anywhere on the planet, yet it is the policy of socialists to insist they can make such things work "this time," though extreme food shortages and a rapid decline in manufactured goods is always the prize for the gullible.
Harris's peculiar speech about shedding us of the past does make sense when one realizes that such obliteration would also necessitate forgetting the success of Donald Trump's policies prior to the invasion of Covid and subsequent Democrat promises to save us by way of closing down essentials like schools and censoring every thought in opposition to their false, party-driven propaganda. Leaving the past behind would also make us forget Bagram air base in Afghanistan and the billions of dollars of equipment left behind as American soldiers were ambushed to death and thousands of people promised a safe exit were betrayed by the Biden-Harris gang.
Like clockwork, Harris and her bunch suddenly promise "free" money as elections approach, as their big city supporters magically come up with harsh penalties for "smash and grab" crimes. If tackling these crimes is important now, why wasn't it on the list for the past four years?
If this notorious gang of political liars, all enmeshed with the complicit news and social media and various corporations is your thing, just know that we have finally reached the point where votes will determine the survival or destruction of the United States of America as we currently know it. At least there's a choice on the menu: Socialism, Marxism, communism -- or some other special of the day, all the same and doomed to fail.
One day, mature adults who are young today will need to be the voices of why the United States collapsed into utter communism, should the Harris and Walz team actually win in November. Today, we truly live in The Last Chance Hotel.
MMMPox: As our common sense-destitute society continues running away from truth, we now have the world health community (Remember them? They screwed up everything with Covid) choosing not to call mpox monkey pox because of a perceived racial element! Um, maybe if nobody would conjure up this incendiary sauce and leave the true and simple designation mpox alone, no problem would exist. May we suggest that the World Health Organization turn to the now-grown up teenage singing brothers know as Hanson and have them rework their popular song "mmmbop" into "mmmpox" as a public service to remind people of this disease and your concern? The brothers Hanson belting out "mmmpox" will elicit no more logic or sense than did "mmmbop," but at least the story will be told. And few will care.
Matthew Perry's death: Who really killed Matthew Perry? Matthew Perry killed Matthew Perry. All it took was money. The lure of celebrity isn't always what it's cracked up to be in the long run.
