These Three Ideas Will Win 2024
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 6/23/2024 8:44:23 PM
This week’s debate reveals—in many ways—the blueprint for the election of 2024. Every candidate for federal office will be viewed as an extension of the Presidential nominee representing them this week. That makes this week’s debate more meaningful than others in the cycle's past. The major reason this is the case is because both men have had the reigns of government, both have a record in office, and the people will choose on those records. From a purely policy perspective that indicates the most lopsided loss in history should be expected for the incumbent. But with the malcontent in office, his corrupt influence with the media,

Prosecutor During Hearing in Classified
Docs Case 0 replies
I know I've shared this before, but the Number One lesson I learned on my very first day of law school was: "Don't pi** off the judge." It's axiomatic — you do yourself zero favors by aggravating the person who holds your fate in their hands. You can be a zealous advocate for your client while still being respectful of the person in the black robe with the gavel who's ultimately going to rule on whatever issue you're arguing before them.
Apparently, Special Counsel Jack Smith's prosecution team forgot that rule while arguing before Judge Aileen Cannon in Monday afternoon's hearing in the classified documents case

Advertising on Platform. It's Not Hard
to Figure Out Why. 1 reply
Last week, TikTok permanently banned the sports apparel company XX-XY Athletics from advertising on its site after it defended women's sports in one of its promotions.
“It’s not nice to further a lie, it’s not mean to believe in women’s equality, we deserve our own sports, privacy, fairness, safety—we deserve a chance to compete and win,” the ad states in part. [Tweet, video]
"I think it’s really compassionate towards women and girls. And being compassionate towards women and girls is not being anti-trans and somehow that’s how it’s being positioned in the world today," CEO of XX-XY, Jennifer Sey, told NBC 24.
Once again, police made arrests at a golf tournament, but this time, world number-one golfer Scottie Scheffler was just a bystander. Instead, authorities arrested protesters who disrupted the PGA Tour's Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn., on Sunday.
As Scheffler, Tom Kim, and Akshay Bhatia approached the green on the 18th hole in the final grouping of regulation play, six protesters — including the requisite chick with a buzzcut — ran out onto the green from multiple directions. Some wore t-shirts emblazoned with "NO GOLF ON A DEAD PLANET" and set off red and white smoke bombs as they descended onto the green.
Imagine…
Imagine if the KKK went into South Central Los Angeles and tried to block parishioners from going into the First A.M.E. Church and then got violent. How fast would the police be there to arrest the agitators? How long would it be before cities across the nation were protesting and marching to demand police protection and the arrest of all KKK supporters? How many demonstrations would happen nationwide to empower (justifiably) black churches and demand their protection?
In Los Angeles, we don’t need to imagine it, for on Sunday afternoon, it happened. But there haven’t been loud voices protesting nationwide; the LAPD was ordered to stand down rather than respond forcibly,

Bernie Sanders almost won the 2016 Democrat nomination against Hillary Clinton. We might have dodged a bullet. Literally. In any event, the guy who honeymooned in the Soviet Union, is an avowed socialist (aka commie), and isn’t a “Democrat” appeared on the "Chris Hayes Show" to lament that “democracy will end” if Trump is elected.
I truly loath Chris Hayes. His cadence is grating like fingers across a chalkboard, and he physically leans into guests (who always agree with him) like a swooning schoolgirl with a crush. I also find him contemptable.
When speaking of Memorial Day once, Hayes said he was “uncomfortable”

Governor Ron DeSantis’ crackdown on illegal immigrants seems to be paying off in more ways than one, according to a recent report. The governor’s multi-pronged effort to reduce illegal immigration in Florida has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of taxpayer dollars going to fund healthcare for those residing in the country illegally.
The governor signed a law last year requiring hospitals that accept Medicaid to ask patients about their legal immigration status when they seek treatment. The legislation does not compel patients to answer the question, but immigrant rights groups argued that it would discourage them from receiving medical attention funded by the government.
Environmental terrorists (that’s what they are) recently defaced Stonehenge. We saw the result of them spraying orange paint on the 5,000-year-old archeological relic and iconic symbol
They have been seen taking their paint and smearing it across priceless works of art, and across the glass protecting the Constitution. They have swarmed sporting events and generally, they are caught quickly – usually, broadcasters cut to something else and don’t give the protestors the airtime. (Snip) On Sunday, I was watching the final round of the signature golf tournament in Connecticut – The Travelers. The best golfers on the planet, Scottie Scheffler and Tom Kim, were in a battle for the win.
Back in the mid-'80s, I was at Ft. Lewis, Washington (now Joint Base Lewis-McChord) for a training course in those Pacific Northwest rain forests and mountains. We had one weekend off, and since three of my buddies and I had obviously not already spent enough time "humping the boonies," as the saying goes, we decided on that Saturday to go hike nearby Mt. Rainier. Dominating the skyline in the south Seattle/Tacoma area, Mt. Rainier is a volcano, like the rather infamous Mt. St. Helens, although it was certainly inactive that fine, sunny Saturday. We didn't hike to the top, but we did make it up to the tree line,
The mother of an accused California car thief who was fatally stabbed during a heist attempt wants authorities to reopen the case and charge her son’s killer in the name of “justice.”
Xavier Jerrod Cerf, 27, was fatally stabbed around 8 p.m. June 17 after a group of students confronted him as he allegedly tried to steal an older Mercedes parked behind a frat house on the University of Southern California’s Greek Row, according to ABC 7.
Cerf allegedly told the students that the car was his because it was “calling him” and “had his name” — then told them he had a handgun before reaching for his waist, investigators said.
During the Constitution ratification debates between the Federalists (who supported ratification) and the Anti-Federalists (who opposed it), one of the most strident areas of disagreement was the extent to which the proposed position of president of the United States was actually an ersatz king. Leading Anti-Federalists thought the new president would be a thinly veiled monarch. In response, leading Federalists -- including those who would eventually hold radically different views of presidential powers -- joined forces to assuage Anti-Federalist concerns.
Multiple essays of The Federalist Papers, the Federalists' eponymous effort to publicly promote the ratification of the Constitution, were dedicated to explaining the nature of the office of the presidency.
Consider the following four news developments, which have all broken since last weekend: News emerged today that an illegal immigrant has been charged in the sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl in Iowa. The Washington Examiner reports that the Honduran suspect in the case entered the United States illegally in the spring of 2022 -- he's one of President Biden's "newcomers" -- near Hidalgo, Texas. This story comes on the heels of the horrifying rape of a 13-year-old by an illegal immigrant in New York City, who confessed to police this week that he'd filmed his crime, which was committed in broad daylight.

North Carolina parents have slammed a charter school for outing their nonbinary six-year-old twins after discovering an online hate campaign.
Mortellus, 42, who did not want to reveal their full identity, said they did not think there was any issue when they first toured the Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy in Forest City, North Carolina, with their spouse Joe.
During the visit, Mortellus - who is transgender and nonbinary - inquired if there were any gender-neutral bathrooms. The pair told staff their children are nonbinary, and one is gender-fluid.
Peter Alexander had a banner day while guest-hosting NBC’s Meet the Depressed. First, he recited a series of leftwing tropes on crime and immigration while deflecting criticism away from the Biden Administration’s handling of these pressing issues. Afterwards, he fretted that voters are insufficiently aware of President Biden’s achievements over these four years.
Watch as Alexander emotes concern over the level of ignorance he’s witnessed during the course of his travels across the fruited plain:
MSNBC Host Scolds Guests for Saying ‘Illegal’

Immigrants: ‘We Don’t Use the Term’ (Video) 28 replies
Symone Sanders, who used to work for the office of VP Kamala Harris and now has her own MSNBC show for some reason, recently snapped at her guests and scolded them for using the term ‘illegal’ immigrants.
They were discussing the recent murder of Americans by people in the country illegally, but the real concern for Sanders seemed not to be the victims. She was far more offended by the word ‘illegal’ when used to accurately describe illegal immigrants.
This is leftism in a nutshell.
MSNBC Triggered By ‘Illegal’ While Discussing Illegal Immigrant Murder
NewsBusters reported:
With Thursday's presidential debate looming, the Biden campaign has settled on a strategy: Attempt to exceed expectations.
Oddly enough, that doesn't have anything to do with policy. Instead, the president's handlers are setting the stage for an "energized" Biden who can put down all the talk about his ongoing struggle with senility. More oddly, they seem rather confident he can pull it off. They're playing with fire, though. (X Video) I do not doubt that there's a plan in place to load Biden up with more amphetamines than a Los Angeles drug dealer.
Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said on this week’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Saturday Show” that if former President Donald Trump wins in November, there will be violence and “more killings.” {snip}
Host Jonathan Capehart asked, “How concerned are you about your safety if Donald Trump is re-elected?”
Waters said, “I’m very concerned, not only about my safety and not only about the safety of members of Congress. I’m concerned about the safety of so many people in this country, particularly people of color. Donald Trump has said that if he does not win,it is going to be fraud,

Given how much former President Donald Trump loves to get the final word in on any issue, one would assume that President Joe Biden would cherish the chance to strip his predecessor of getting a last word in, especially in a debate setting.
One would assume wrong.
According to CNN, which will host the first debate, Biden won a crucial coin flip ahead of the June 27 debate.
The coin, which turned up tails, gave Team Biden the option to choose between either podium position or the order in which closing remarks are delivered.
The incumbent, apparently, opted to lock in his podium position — a seemingly far lesser advantage

A Jewish mom and her husband were attacked and beaten at a Brooklyn elementary school graduation by an Arabic-speaking family — who taunted them with shouts of “Free Palestine!” “Gaza is Ours!” and “Death to Israel!” she told The Post.
The mayhem erupted at PS 682 in Gravesend just after the school’s fifth-grade graduation — which was themed, ironically, “All you need is love.”
Instead, the Jewish woman’s husband was thrown to the ground by members of the other family. One man put him in a chokehold, he said. Others grabbed his legs as they kicked and punched him.
Joe Biden is locked in an intense five-day debate camp as he prepares to take on his hated rival Donald Trump in Thursday's televised brawl.
Trump is expected to goad, insult, interrupt, and heckle the president - and the man playing him in practice sessions won't take it any easier on Biden.
Bob Bauer, the president's longtime personal lawyer, is expected to stand in for Trump as he did before the successful 2020 debates. (Photos) Such is the code of silence around debate camps that Bauer wouldn't even confirm he would reprise his role as the villain this time.
For some reason, high-speed rail is a hot-button issue for liberals and a frequent point of criticism from Chinese communist propaganda and Europeans when they attack the U.S.
“How can you call yourself a developed country when you don’t have high-speed rail?” they ask. The reality is that high-speed rail would be more expensive and less efficient than our current travel infrastructure.
High-speed rail works in Europe and China because of government subsidies, higher taxes, and because people typically travel shorter distances and have fewer travel options.
The U.S. has more cars per capita, more highways, more airports, and more railroads than China or the EU. Additionally, Americans prefer to drive
On Sunday's "This Week," Martha Raddatz had a panel discussion with three "experts" on the upcoming presidential debate. The panel included Frank Luntz, and what he offered up made little sense.
Luntz claims that the last two presidential campaigns, beginning with Trump versus Clinton in 2016 and then Trump versus Biden in 2020, were the beginning of the end of democracy. It seems everything in politics is “the end of democracy.” Luntz claimed that personal invectives and insults are too debasing and, apparently, a sign of the end of democracy. Luntz is a pollster, not a historian. Maybe he’s unaware of the long history of politicians insulting each other.
