Why is Putin annexing portions of Ukraine?

My guess is that it will be used as a pretense to escalate the war (maybe even to go nuclear) 



So why annex? So Putin can claim (erroneously) that Ukraine is now attacking Russia, rather than the other way around. He could argue (erroneously) that the use of tactical nukes or some other sort of chemical or biological weapon is justified as a means to protect his "border". 

Make no mistake. Vladimir Putin is "all in" on this war.  There is only victory for him. There cannot be defeat. Many believe that Putin will go to any means (including chemical, biological, or nuclear) to win. It's hard to imagine him losing this war and maintaining his power in Russian. It's win or else.

Let's face it. He is not the sort of man to go down quietly. 

New Emerson Poll has some good news for the GOP in Pennsylvania

Oz withing two in Pennsylvania
Voters were asked about two focal points of the Pennsylvania Senate campaigns: Fetterman’s recent stroke and Mehmet Oz’s longtime New Jersey residence. Regarding Fetterman’s stroke, 59% of voters say it makes no difference on their vote, 27% say it makes them less likely to support Fetterman, and 14% say it makes them more likely. Since the August Emerson Pennsylvania poll, the share of voters who say Fetterman’s stroke makes no difference on their vote has decreased by nine percentage points, 68% to 59%, and the share of voters who say it makes them less likely to support him has increased by five points to 19%.
Regarding Oz’s New Jersey residence, 47% say it makes no difference, 39% say it makes them less likely, and 14% say it makes them more likely to support Oz. Since the August Emerson Pennsylvania poll, the share of voters who say they are less likely to support Oz because of his residence decreased by 12 points from 51% to 39%.
Eighty-three percent of voters find it somewhat important (18%) or very important (65%) for the candidates running for either Governor or US Senate to participate in a debate prior to the November election. Seventeen percent find it not too important (11%) or not at all important (6%).

In other news.

In a hypothetical election between President Biden and former President Trump, Trump leads Biden among Pennsylvania voters 46% to 45%; 6% would support someone else and 3% are undecided. Concerning the recent FBI search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate 38% of voters said it makes them more likely to support Trump in 2024, 33% say it makes them less likely to support Trump in 2024, and 29% say it makes no difference on their vote.

And how is that threat to democracy and abortion working out? Well just over 1 in 4 are falling or that particular silly rhetoric. 

The economy is the most important issue for 39% of Pennsylvania voters, followed by threats to democracy (14%), and abortion access (13%).

About that Monmouth poll

Almost as many people believe Biden won by fraud than believe Trump was direction responsible for the Jan 6th riots... but Democrats seem to believe that their minority positions are still always the truth?


Now to be fair, many of these polls are push polls. They bring up subjects in a particular order and provide leading questions and information and sort of try to solicit a particular result. When the pollster itself releases a poll article and sounds surprised that more and more people thing Trump did nothing wrong, and demands that election fraud was "debunked"... well then you are no longer a legitimate objective pollster. You are very likely a push pollster with a preconceived idea of how questions should be answered and with an incentive to get people to follow your cue. 

The whole concept of a pollster is to ask genuine questions in a genuine manner as straightforward as possible. We don't need a polling question that starts out "as you know" when you are going to be asking people about what it is that you believe they are supposed to know. All it takes is a handful of people in a sample to feel uncomfortable giving an answer that they otherwise would provide, and your poll is shot.  

Ask generic questions, report your poll, and leave the opinionated analysis to others.  

How is it that one pollster can show over 50% of Americans believe that election fraud was more likely than not to have "affected" the results of the 2020 election while another shows that about 60% of Americans believe it was won "fair and square"? Well because of how the questions are worded and what information and questions are asked prior. 

For me, I could not fit my answer to the question about the election integrity into either "fair and square" or "won only because of fraud". The question is much more complicated than that. 

There was voter fraud (that has been proven by arrests and convictions) and it probably had something to do with some of the results. But there was much more going on in 2020 than just voter fraud. 

There was election laws being skirted. There were executive actions that were later deemed illegal. There was 400 million in "Zuckerbucks" that went to mostly highly Democratic counties and was used mainly for GOTV drives that were technically a misuse of the funding. There was ballot harvesting. There was ballot curing going on in select counties. There was counting issues left never resolved in Fulton County Georgia (where pretty much the entire county election team resigned and are refusing to talk to anyone about  it). 

In other words there was not just "one thing" that might have made Joe Biden's 2020 victory less than palatable in the minds of many Americans. But some people like to place things into a little box and demand that everyone else focus their attention on that particular box. If anyone decides to look outside the box they defined?

Well they call them names... 

More Bidenomics in play

Stock Market "DOWN" over seven percent from when Biden took over?


Trillions of dollars in American wealth has disintegrated over the past few months and many older Americans are having to put off retirement because of it. Oh, and it helps a lot that while we are losing net worth, our buying power continues to plummet as inflation continues on record course.  

Vote Democrat! Less wealth, less disposable income, more economic pain!

About those claims of fascism...

Democrats say every Republican is Hitler... 






The issue at hand is that liberals are just stupid and think every Republican is "Hitler" because they have no clue what Hitler was even about.

Here is the reality:

  • You have one Party that wants central government control at the Federal level with an active Federal Law Enforcement engaged in every level of society INCLUDING labeling local School Parents to be enemies of the state (domestic terrorist) because their political views do not align with that central government. Demonstrators against the current state are arrested and held without bail, while more violent demonstrators who are protesting in favor of the current regime are generally let go without charges.  They want to take away as much power from the States as they can and make sure that nobody is allowed to openly have viewpoints that do not correspond with those of the Federal Government. They will work with law social media and other media to make sure certain beliefs are designated "disinformation" and censored (even information they know is correct). They hate the constitution and especially the bill of rights (because these rights hamper the Government quest to control the citizenship).
  • You have another Party who wants to drain the swamp and reduce the influence of unelected Federal government appointees and give that power back to the citizens and back to the states. They want to stop Government censorship and allow freedom of speech to again be a bedrock principle. They support the constitution and especially support the bill of rights. They believe that local and state governments are more in tune to their own constituents and believe that more power should remain closer to the people as opposed to with the Federal bureaucracy. 
Which of these choices looks more like they are following fascist ideals?

But the biggest problem with the way liberals think about this is that they always want to label people they disagree with as fascists. Not understanding that a "person" cannot really even be a fascist - it takes a larger group to form that. Certainly most fascist states had dictators who were at the center of things. But ultimately it takes more than an individual. The rest of the Government must follow along with that dictator (even if the people do not). Whether it be Hitler, Mussolini, Hussein, or whomever. Those dictators controlled the government agencies and the military and ruled over their citizens by brute force.

In fact, a populist leader with a wide range of popular support (even rabid support) can never achieve a state of fascism if that same leader does not enjoy the same popular support within his or her own Government. Donald Trump could never have been a "fascist" considering most of the Federal employees were against him and the FBI and others were openly investigating him, while jailing his associates. You cannot achieve fascism simply by having popular support of the people. In almost all cases, fascists used intimidation and censorship to maintain control "over" the people. If there is a popular uprising against the "state" - that is not any form of fascism (as much as many liberals would like to redefine the word).  

Red wave 2.0??

Democrats are fighting the fights they think they can win, but are they fighting the fights that need fighting? Right now Democrats are offering a two pronged approach to the 2022 midterms. Abortion and pushing the extreme MAGA Republican theme (generally tying them to Jan 6th). While this might be something that excites the small sliver of the ultra-left liberal Democrat, the question is whether or not it resonates with anyone else. Does the American public trust Democrats on Abortion? Sure. Do some people still care about Jan 6th? Sure. But are those really "important" issues for the swing voters who come out and move the needle in the battleground districts?

Every poll that comes out on the subject of what Americans are really concerned about shows that the economy, inflation, crime, and the border are at the top of the heap. Abortion barely hits the top five and sometimes is even lower than that depending on how specific you break up the economic issues. Oh, and while some may still be interested in Jan 6th, almost nobody says it is something that will affect their vote in November. 

So it appears that the Democrats have figured out which issues that they "win" on and are concentrating their entire effort on those subjects. At this point in time Democrats (and liberal advocacy groups) have spent a small fortune on abortion based ads. By some measures, they have spent more money on abortion ads than the GOP and conservatives have spent overall. Meanwhile the rhetoric from top Democrats (such as the President) has been designed to paint the GOP as a Party of extremists who apparently want to use violence to get their way (even as 95% of all political violence comes from the left).  

While this strategy "appears" to have blunted some of the GOP momentum in the polling, that same polling is starting to slip away from the Democrats. I suspect it will slip even further as pollsters move away from the registered voter polls and into the likely voter samples. More importantly, the GOP appears well ahead in the actual competitive districts which is where the election will be determined. 

Right now the GOP is favored to win the House. Depending on who you are watching the projection show that they will squeak by and win a small majority or they have a good chance to win 2-3 dozen seats. The Senate has been a different story. As it stands, RCP (Sean Trende) shows the most likely result to be Republicans picking up two seats. While 538 (Nate Silver) has Democrats with a 68% chance to keep at least 50 seats. Of course in typical Nate Silver form, he (for example) still shows Masto winning in Nevada in spite of not leading in a poll since the middle of August. Silver has stubbornly remained biased as a projectionist.  
 
Time will tell how this works out for the Democrats. But it appears that they have conceded the fights that they probably need to fight and are taking the approach that they would rather fight the fights that they can win (without much concern for if winning those fights will matter).

Look what is happening at the border!!

I am not quite sure why this doesn't outrage the media - I know it did four years ago!


Wallace still floundering?

Left FOX because he wanted to do something he was more politically aligned with! Btw... Trey Gowdy has a show at the same time with more than triple the audience.

Harris Harvard Poll shows something interesting...

 This is an interesting counterintuitive statistic 




So one would think (of course) that women would be more apt than men to want to allow late term abortions. But as it stands, the vast majority of American want abortion to be limited to under 15 weeks or otherwise only allowed in cases of rape or incest. 

And apparently men (not women) are more inclined to want to allow abortions beyond 15 weeks (31% to 25%). Who would have known? 

I suspect that many of the men are simply virtue signalling here. Trying to make themselves appear woke and in tune with what women want, when in the end they are just pandering for pandering sake. But what do pro-choice women (and pro-choice men) really want? Seems many just want to complain about pro-lifers and not much else

But more to the point, who understand the "labels" that are thrown out there. Pro-choice vs Pro-life? What does it even mean? We would obviously consider someone who believes 23-26 weeks is the correct time to ban abortions as "pro-choice" since that was what Roe and Casey basically established and pro-choicers love Roe and Casey. We know someone who wants to ban it at 6 weeks (or fetal heartbeat) to be pro-life... since that has been what has been pushed in many red states. 

But are you pro-choice or pro-life if you want to allow abortions prior to 15 weeks, but ban them after 15 weeks? I suspect that many people would argue that both ways. 

This is the sad pathetic world we live in

Facebook ‘silencing’ activity related to FBI whistleblower Steve Friend
More evidence of how vindictive, obsessive and downright sinister Facebook is: Now it appears to be monitoring private messages and suppressing material related to the whistleblower complaint of heroic FBI special agent Steve Friend.
After Friend’s bombshell revelations last week in a whistleblower complaint to the Department of Justice inspector general, his cause received an avalanche of public and private support, including from former FBI agents and conservative groups.
On Sunday, Friend’s wife’s Facebook account was suspended after she responded to an offer of support from a local chapter of Moms for Liberty (M4L), a conservative group that advocates for parental rights.
About 30 minutes later, Mrs. Friend received a notification from Facebook that her account had been suspended because the “account, or activity on it, doesn’t follow our Community Standards.”

Up until our world turned topsy turvy and long standing American values were shunned by the new extreme left, whistleblowers were given a promise of protection. In fact it was considered illegal to actually punish someone for being a whistleblower. A company who retaliated in any manner would be facing serious consequences. Now, the left believes it it necessary to punish someone for exposing the sad truth of many of these things. You know, because it disrupts their ability to push a fake narrative and control all of the conversations. 

This is the world that the left wants to live in... as long as they control it. But if American political history has taught us one thing. What comes around goes around. Who knows how long the left will hold the power in all of this. Watch for all the meltdowns as they lose control. Look no further than the Twitter sale to Elon Musk.

Here is an interesting viewpoint on the midterm congressional polling...

This morning I saw that RCP replaced the ABC/WaPo "registered voter" poll results of +1% for GOP with the "likely voter" model result of +5% for the GOP.  That was a four point swing towards the Republicans just by looking at the more historically accurate sample. Makes you wonder if there would be a similar swing of RV polls were switched to Likely voter samples. So I just broke it down.

Overall voter congressional polling from RCP

Rasmussen Reports9/18 - 9/222500 LV4244Republicans +2
Trafalgar Group (R)9/7 - 9/91081 LV4248Republicans +6
Now people have long suggested that pollsters like Rasmussen and Trafalgar are biased towards the GOP. Could it have really nothing to do with "bias" and way more to do with the fact that they are pretty much always working with "likely voter" samples versus "registered voter" samples most pollsters use? Because it has been historically the case that the former are always more favorable to Republicans, while the latter is more favorable to Democrats. 

So that can become sort of a chicken vs the egg argument. Is Rasmussen and Trafalgar really more favorable to the GOP because of bias or simply because they use likely voter samples which has a built in favorability to Republicans. Is the really these two pollster, or the idea of the likely voter poll that upsets the left.

The difference between the two samples is 6.1%  as the registered is 2.8 +D while the likely is 3.3 +R. This is more than the 4% swing that the ABC/WaPo poll showed, so it would appear that there might be more than just the type of sample involved. But at the end of the day the lionshare of this difference is really how far you want to parse out the voter intentions. In the ABC/WaPo poll the difference appeared nominal (about 75% of Democrats versus 80% of Republicans were considered "motivated" to vote) but even that 5%  can make a difference of 2-3 points by itself. One must have to also look at independents and leaners to find similar intentions, and there are other factors. 

I expect more and more pollsters to switch to the likely voter model in the coming weeks and I would similarly expect some movement towards the GOP as they do.

Political rhetoric at it's worst or finest depending on your viewpoint...

An honest description of Lindsey Graham's abortion bill (legal within 15 weeks) would resonate as a popular compromise with a majority of Americans



So where do American stand? 
  • Legal past 15 weeks - 28%
  • Not legal past 15 weeks - 72% 
In other words, the Lindsey Graham proposal would be considered favored by over 70% of Americans. So what do Democrats do? They demand that Lindsey Graham's abortion bill is a "ban" on abortion. They repeat the lie over and over and over. That is quite literally a blatant dishonest rhetorical argument that only has a chance to be successful if nobody actually questions them on it.

Earlier this week, the White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was questioned by reporters on what the Biden administration stance actually was? If they are not in favor of 15 weeks, at what point in the pregnancy would they be willing to put a stop to it? Obviously with only 10% of the population in favor of abortion till birth, the White House (and Democrats) owe the American public an explanation as to what they would accept? If not 15 how about 23 weeks? 30 weeks? When is the acceptable time to say abortions should no longer take place? 

Seems like a fair question. But Jean-Pierre was unwilling to answer, likely because neither the White House or Democrats are going to be willing to go on record here. They would rather attack the GOP over what would be a popular proposal by basically misleading the public on it.  Dishonesty and disinformation is all they have left at this point.

America is a poorer country because of Biden...

Americans have lost $4.2K in income under Biden, study says

Their analysis found that the average American has lost about $3,000 in annual purchasing power because consumer prices, which have risen 12.7% since January 2021, have spiked significantly faster than wages.
Wages have risen just 8% over the same period, which has effectively resulted in a pay cut for Americans struggling to pay for daily necessities including food, gas and rent.
Higher interest rates and borrowing costs have also reduced the average person’s purchasing power by another $1,200, according to the report.
“Simply put, working Americans are $4,200 poorer today than when Biden took office,” said EJ Antoni, a research fellow in regional economics with the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Data Analysis.
“This financial catastrophe for American families is the direct result of a president and Congress addicted to spending our money, combined with a Federal Reserve compliantly enabling this addiction by printing more dollars.” [….]
“Now, the Fed is finally fighting inflation, which is pushing up interest rates and increasing financing costs,” he said. “Rates on all kinds of consumer debt are rising. Mortgage interest rates have doubled since Biden took office, greatly increasing Americans’ monthly payments.”

What is it with people that they would welcome their own financial ruin in exchange for their political party being in charge? Does anyone "really" want to have less spendable income? Does anyone really want to pay $5.00/gallon for gas? Does anyone really want two million plus illegal immigrants crossing our border? Do they really want more crime? More homelessness? 

For what, exactly? So they can complain about abortion or cheer for the latest and greatest Trump investigation? Is the ability to kill the unborn and persecute a politician really worth all of this failure? Is it worth everyone suffering?   


Happy Saturday!

Maybe a doctor's visit is in order?

Broken Border: Biden immigration policies spur 'staggering' death toll
Biden's Broken Border is a five-part Washington Examiner series highlighting the border security records President Joe Biden has shattered in less than two years in office and the trickle-down effects that the crisis is having on the United States.
Part One looked at how Biden already broke the record for migrant apprehensions in 2022. Part Two examined the dramatic shift in demographics of migrants crossing the border illegally. Part Three showed the consequences of children crossing the border alone in unprecedented numbers. Part Four, below, looks at the record number of migrants dying while attempting to enter the United States. And Part Five will examine the deadly fentanyl crisis that has rocked communities deep within the country.

So how many are dead? Well according to records being kept, there have been nearly 750 migrants found dead in their quest to cross the border. They expect the number to obviously increase before the end of the year. Never have we seen anything near this number of people dying trying to get into the United States. 

Deaths happen as immigrants make a dangerous trek from Mexico or Central America, many times passing over the border in dangerous locations to avoid  being caught by border control agents. Most people will recall the Democrats trying to politicize border deaths during the Trump administration, blaming the wall and border security as the culprit. But as we can see by the graph, border deaths were down under Trump, proving that border security is safer for everyone involved. 

But deaths are out of control. At least twice as many people are dying under Joe Biden as under previous Presidents. Liberals can pretend that the real problem with the border is Ron DeSantis sending alive migrants to Martha's Vineyard if liberals so choose. It's the sort of thinking that makes them liberal.

Quote of the day!

DEMOCRATS MOVE TO CRIMINALIZE OPPOSITION
Given the thorough corruption of the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland, there is a reasonable possibility that the Democrats will move to imprison both Donald Trump and other prominent Republicans. I suppose they think they are secure, because Republicans would never follow such a third-world precedent. I don’t know about that. In any event, there is a more fundamental question: are the Democrats trying to trigger a civil war, as they did in 1861? Judging from their actions, I think the question must be taken seriously.

There is no question that partisanship investigation has rocketed up under Merrick Garland. From labeling concerned Parents as domestic terrorists, to calling anyone who questions the election results to be a traitor, to seemingly moving towards pressing charges against the ex-facto leader of the opposition Party over what ultimately is a dispute over a non-criminal Presidential record keeping act... they are going off the deep end.

It is no secret that if they do charge Trump that there will be outrage. Not just from Republicans either. I know many run of the mill moderates who believe that charging Trump is literally Democrats firing the first shots in an attempt to wage a civil war. They know that such a move will trigger millions and many feel that this is something the left wants. To pretend that this is not their doing, but to provoke conservatives and make them look as if they are the instigators. Little more than just more excuses to punish more political opposition.


More bad news for Bidenomics...

US gas prices climb for the first time in nearly 100 days - and remain 15% higher than last year

  • US gas prices rose to $3.681 per gallon on Wednesday from $3.674 on Tuesday, marking the first increase in 99 days, said AAA.
  • It signals that the impact of declining fuel costs on the recent easing in inflation may be dwindling. 
The steady decline in prices that followed came as the Biden administration began releasing record amounts of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve while fears of a recession weighed on demand forecasts. The Energy Information Administration reported that gasoline demand dropped to 8.49 million barrels per day last week from 8.73 million barrels per day in the prior week.

So basically the only way we have kept gas prices down is through the artificial means of misuing the strategic reserves? Seems very Bidenish. 

The bigger problem is that gas prices going down has literally been the only thing dampening inflation surges. If gas prices start going back up along with food prices and everything else, our core inflation will go through the roof. 

The FED just announced another 0.75 raise in the prime rate. They suggest at least another 0.75 is in the cards. This will no doubt push recession fears higher, but appears necessary to undermine this runaway inflation. 

Meanwhile. Democrats keep spending more money... telling us that it will reduce inflation. Treating us as if we are economic idiots or gullible morons. But I guess there are some that are one or the other and still encourage it.


Coincidence?

Six weeks before an election she might very well lose? What does she do for attention?

Well there you go...

You know who is against it? White liberals! 

The odd thing about this poll is that it suggests that Republican Governors are transporting thousands... when that is nonsense. More to the point the vast majority of those being transported (probably 95% plus) are being transported by the Dept of Homeland Security.

FBI Prioritizing Jan 6th and pushing false White Supremacist narrative at Biden Garland bidding?

This is by far the most corrupt and politicized administration in our lifetimes This is not even close, folks. They are openly setting QUOTAS for finding cases that they can label as Domestic terror (or white supremacist hate crimes) to bolster the President's rhetoric that Maga Republicans committing terrorism is our greatest threat. The labeling of School aged Parents as domestic terrorists for questioning school boards is a great example of this stupidity. According to Biden and Garland, if you are opposed to the woke ideology and demand any sort of action on the subject you are a domestic terrorist, a white supremacist, or possibly both.

The real world problem here is that in order for the Hitler Biden Administration to offer proof that right wing violence is the biggest problem we face (before every other crime we see out there) - they have to arrest people and desperately try to push charges to "prove" it. Why else do people who attack police officers during Antifa riots get arrested and sent loose without charges, while people who carry signs too close to the Capitol building end up seeing jail time? Charging people unfairly or based on politics becomes a necessary thing to back up the Administration's rhetoric. 

Not that anyone but the really stupid buy it.

He was just listening to his President...

Driver Admits to Intentionally Running Over Teen, Claims He Was 'Republican Extremist'
Ellingson had been out at a street dance when he called his mother to rescue him, because he said he was being chased by 41-year-old Shannon Brandt. But by the time she reached him, Cayler was dead. What Brandt allegedly admitted about the killing was chilling.
The President told his supporters that MAGA Republicans are a threat to society!
Running down a teen extremist is a reaction to form of vile political rhetoric!
Court papers show Brandt called 911 around 2:30 a.m. Sunday and told the 911 dispatcher that he just hit Ellingson, claiming the teen was part of a Republican extremist group. Court papers called it a “politically motivated attack.”

No question about it. If Trump was supposedly responsible for the Jan 6th insurrection and (as Lawrence Tribe has suggested) guilty of attempted murder, then by all means Joe Biden is at the very least an accessory to murder here.  

This guy killed someone because he said that person was part of the Republican extremist group that the President has declared a threat to democracy and society. An 18 year old boy. 

Well Joe Biden?  How does it feel to be responsible for a murder?
