Daily Broadside | Are Voters Really That Stupid or Are Our Elections That Corrupt?

Daily Verse | Acts 26:28
Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”

Wednesday’s Reading: Acts 27-28

Happy Tuesday my friends. I’m back from my travels and eager to write.

I left the day after Election Day and have been watching the returns since.

I’m gobsmacked.

I had predicted “a red wave of tsunami-sized proportions or a trickle of red leaking through an overflowing toilet in Arizona.” At the time I was feeling rather optimistic about the red wave.

But I voted and all I got was this lousy blue-stained t-shirt.

Fetterman. Really?

Are the people of Pennsylvania really that stupid? How married to ideology do you have to be to vote for a 53-year-old hoodie dude who lives with his parents, has never held a real job, and had a stroke six months ago rendering him unable to adequately process normal conversation?

Fetterman beat a politically moderate Muslim, the son of Turkish émigrés, a celebrity doctor and successful television host, by almost four percentage points. Diversity, anyone? 2,710,027 people voted for Fetterman while 2,474,013 voted for Oz, a difference of 236,014 votes.

The vote seems legitimate, but does not seem logical. If legitimate, how do you explain the votes of those supporting Fetterman? It boggles the mind to think that people actually voted for him. Logically, his win makes more sense to me if the vote was fraudulent, yet … was it?

Democrats vent their fury at Trump and his ultra-mega-MAGA supporters, but then elect a screwball like Fetterman (and his weird uncle, Brandon). The contempt for them is richly deserved.

Same in Arizona. As I’m writing this on Monday night, several outlets are announcing that Katie Hobbs has beaten Trump-endorsed Kari Lake in the race for governor. Again, it makes no sense. Hobbs hid herself, refused to debate Kari Lake, and polls showed her trailing Lake (although not by much).

And how conveeenient that Hobbs, as the current Secretary of State of Arizona, oversaw the election that determined whether she became the next governor. And how even more conveeenient that counting the votes took a week!

Our election system is broken. Very broken.

Here’s Emerald Robinson:

Welcome to the Banana Republic of Biden — where the voting machines break down and the tabulators fail and the paper runs out on Election Day!

The rigging was so bad, so obvious, so corrupt that even the corporate media was forced to admit that electronic voting machines didn’t work across America. That was a “conspiracy theory” — you might recall — just the day before.

But — lo and behold ! — the machines were all “down” in Mercer County, New Jersey. They were full of “mishaps” in Harris County, Texas and in Chesterfield County, Virginia and in Bell County, Texas and in Suffolk County, New York. At least 20% of all the machines were “not working” throughout Maricopa County, Arizona. They “ran out of paper” in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. In fact, “officials say that roughly 44 polling locations in Luzerne County ran out of paper to print ballots.”

Of course, it’s completely normal on Election Day for 44 polling places to run out of paper simultaneously. Don’t start fueling conspiracy theories by noticing that such a shortage must be deliberate!

And here she is again:

Countless people have called in the last few days to ask me if Kari Lake or Blake Masters or Adam Laxalt or Lauren Boebert— and all the rest of the midterm candidates in “stalled” races— will ultimately prevail.

My answer is always the same: no. No, I don’t think they’re going to prevail. They’re going to lose. In fact, they’re being cheated out of their victories right now.

My rule of thumb is simple: if you’re a Trump-aligned Republican and your election results were not released within 24 hours of Election Day, then you’re toast.

The entire point of “slow-rolling” vote-counting is that it gives the cheaters the necessary time to count how many ballots they need to beat the Republican candidate and then to manufacture those ballots — or to disappear the necessary number of GOP ballots by “abjudication.”

Didn’t the GOP learn any of these lessons from the 2020 election? Of course not.

I encourage you to read both of her blog posts (and subscribe to her Substack).

Via No Pasaran, Fox News’s Jesse Watters adds:

Elections used to be decided on election night. “American Idol” can handle millions of votes in a commercial break, but it takes Arizona, Nevada a week? None of it makes sense because they don’t want the system to make sense. The longer some of these races drag out for, the better it is for Democrats because they’ve created a system centered around ballots, not votes. It’s not about winning your vote anymore. It’s not about persuading you. It’s about flooding the state with as many ballots as possible and getting them filled out Democrat.

Stalin reportedly said, “I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.” Right. It’s not the vote that counts; it’s who counts the votes.

We are told that there is no evidence of any fraud whatsoever in 2020 and if we believe there was we’re conspiracy nuts and a dangerous threat to democracy. Yeah, well, I’m convinced more than ever that there is widespread fraud in our elections and if we don’t figure out how to stop it we’re goners.

Daily Broadside | It’s Go Time!

Daily Verse | Acts 9:36
In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which, when translated, is Dorcas), who was always doing good and helping the poor.

Tuesday’s Reading: Acts 10-12

Tuesday, November 8, 2022 and it’s Go Time. We’ve been waiting for this moment for two years and now it’s time to get out and vote.

Nearly 3 out of 4 citizens agree that the US is headed in the wrong direction: a record.

With that in mind, it’s no wonder we’re seeing the House turning red in multiple polls. Here’s some incentive for you if you need any further motivation. First, The Cook Political Report has 212 seats rated solid, likely, or lean Republican; 187 are rated solid, likely or lean Democrat; and 36 are up for grabs.

Next, Sabato’s Crystal Ball has gamed out the results with a total of 237 seats safe, likely or leans Republican; with a total of 198 seats safe, likely or leans Democrat.

RCP has 227 seats rated solid, likely, or lean Republican, 174 rated solid, likely or lean Democrat, and 34 as toss ups.

FiveThirtyEight forecasts that Republicans will win 230 seats and the Dems will win 205, a 17-seat gain for Republicans.

As for the Senate, most of the predictions I’ve seen suggest that the GOP will take the majority by a thin margin, in the neighborhood of 51 or 52 seats.

Here’s the thing: the predicted results can only happen if we get out and vote, and the GOP needs as many of those “toss ups” as possible to lock in any gains.

Unfortunately, it may be a few days before we get final results. From the Washington Post (HT: Ace of Spades):

Poll closing times vary from state to state, from county to county, and in some parts of the country, from town to town. The earliest results in most states are reported by local voting precincts soon after polls close there. Every state also has different rules for how officials process and count ballots, and these rules determine how quickly results are released.

In 2020, an influx of mail-in and early ballots due to the pandemic caused major slowdowns in vote counting and reporting election results. It took four days for enough votes to be counted for the major decision desks to call the presidency for Joe Biden. Vote counting isn’t expected to be nearly as slow as it was last time around, but there’s a chance we won’t know the outcomes of some key races — and possibly even control of Congress — on election night.

We absolutely can’t be complacent. Remember, they can’t cheat if it’s not close. The way to keep it from being close is to show up and vote.

I’m traveling again this week, so I will miss tracking the results with you. I hope to return with Republicans solidly in charge of the legislative branch.

Have a good week.

Daily Broadside | Everything is Looking Good for the Mid-Terms

Daily Verse | Acts 7:57
At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, dragged him out of the city and began to stone him.

Monday’s Reading: Acts 8-9

A couple of times this year, I’ve cautiously said that if the polls are accurate, the Democrats will get blitzed by not just a red wave, but by a crimson tsunami (see here, here and here).

In fact, last week I wrote, “A week from today will either be a red wave of tsunami-sized proportions or a trickle of red leaking through an overflowing toilet in Arizona. For now, I’m feeling optimistic that we will see a flood of Republican wins washing away Democrats for at least a generation.”

I’ve seen nothing to dissuade me from that optimism, but I can’t be entirely sure of what seems to be a building tidal wave until the last votes are counted. I won’t take anything for granted at this point because we got punched in the face over the last six years by a furious and exposed bureaucracy which had been comfortably hidden behind the theatre of Washington’s historical architecture, the costumes of crisp suits, and the polite script of politicians. We had innocently trusted that, with some few exceptions, the decorum and appearance of our political leaders meant the machinations of government were still turning as intended by our Founders.

Now that we know the truth, we cannot unknow and nothing can ever be the same again. Even if we’re able to eliminate the anti-American powers that exist in the federal government, we really cannot go bakc to the way we thought it was before. There needs to be a dismantling of the current federal leviathan and a rebuilding on a much smaller scale, the way our Founders envisioned.

That means that our elections are now existential battles against not just an extremist political party, but against the unelected bureaucrats and other evil actors who want to consolidate power and rule over the American people by forcing us into conformity with their plans.

Anyway—back to the elections. Such illustrious publications as The New Yorker are bracing for a “bloodbath” for the Democrats.

The consensus among a number of G.O.P. pollsters and operatives I spoke to this week is that in the Senate races that are thought to be competitive, Republican candidates are heading for a clean sweep: Mehmet Oz will beat John Fetterman in Pennsylvania, and not just by a point or two; Adam Laxalt looks pretty certain to defeat the incumbent Democratic senator Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada; even less regarded candidates such as Blake Masters in Arizona will be carried into office by a predicted wave. “He won’t deserve it, but I think at this point he falls into a Senate seat,” one Republican strategist told me. To these Republican insiders, certain high-profile races in which G.O.P. candidates were already favored now look like potential blowouts—Kari Lake’s campaign for governor in Arizona, J. D. Vance’s for Senate in Ohio. And some races that seemed out of reach, such as the Senate campaign, in New Hampshire, of the election denier Don Bolduc, now look like possible wins. The word that kept coming up in these conversations was “bloodbath.”

Likewise, the man who predicted Brexit and Trump’s victory in 2016 is talking about a “Red Tsunami.”

Here’s what the polls are showing.

Keep an eye on the Georgia Senate race between Walker and Warnock. That could be a bellwether for the rest of the country. GA reports Eastern Standard Time.

JD Vance has a 10-POINT LEAD on Tim Ryan. Again, polls nearly always undercount Republicans, so this poll, if it holds up, bodes well for Vance (and Ohio).

The RCP Generic Congressional Vote has Republicans up by +2.5 points.

Over at 270 To Win: “A consensus outlook for the 2022 House elections based on the current ratings of these seven forecasters. Only districts rated safe by six of them are shown in the darkest shade. You can also view these ratings as a table.”

Everything looks good. Great, even.

But don’t get complacent and don’t get cocky.

These polls tell us what a limited number of people say they will do. To make it a reality, we need every voter to go to the polls and exercise their right to vote. We’ve been waiting for tomorrow since the despicable man currently occupying the White House was wrongly sworn in, in January 2021. It’s time to severely limit the damage he can do with the remainder of his term.

All I can say is, get out and vote.

Daily Broadside | Offering Blanket Pandemic Amnesty Won’t Stop It From Happening Again

Daily Verse | John 19:7
The Jews insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”

Friday’s Reading: Acts 1-4
Saturday’s Reading: Acts 5-7

It’s Friday and we’re only four days away from a form of electoral retribution the likes of which hasn’t been seen in 40 years. All the signs and polling suggest that the Democrats will undergo a shellacking—as long as people get out there and vote. Don’t let the highly questionable 2020 election dissuade you from casting a ballot. It’s really the only method we have for registering our views and every vote is needed.

Remember, they can’t cheat if it isn’t close.

Don’t let it be close.

I thought I’d close the week on an article that has gone viral since it was published in The Atlantic magazine on Monday. “Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty” is written by Emily Oster, author and economist at Brown University.

In the column, she essentially argues that a lot of “precautions” taken during the pandemic “were totally misguided” and that “the thing is: We didn’t know.”

She’s claiming ignorance to excuse the enormous cruelty and damage done to our country and to our relational ties among each other.

The backlash to her proposal has been severe. Todd Starnes:

They closed our churches and our schools. They shut down our businesses. Many of you lost your jobs. 

They made you wear a mask that did not work — They made you cancel birthday parties and holiday gatherings. 

They left our loved ones to die alone. They sent out the police to shut down funerals.

And now they want you to forget about it. Not a chance, America. 

There will be no amnesty. There will be no do-overs. No forgiveness. We must make the Democrats pay for what they did to our nation. 

Scott McKay:

No. Hell, no. Not even a thought other than no.

And screw you.

Because we learned an awful lot about America during the COVID pandemic. We learned who loves this country and its ideals and who would defecate all over them. We learned who loves and trusts our people and who sees them as pawns to be manipulated.

Emily Burns (read the whole thing):

After we have exacted some political retribution, if there is acknowledgement of the wrongs committed and contrition for those wrongs, then we can talk about amnesty.

Leslie Eastman:

In conclusion, the only rational response to Oster’s article is to “Just Say No” and to vote on Nov. 8th accordingly.

Those who were responsible for the pandemic travesty need to be held accountable. Anything less is toxic forgiveness.

Micah Meadowcroft:

We are to give a pardon to the officials who, over and over, proved themselves blustering little tyrants, and worse, incompetent? Absolutely not. We are to erase the record of those responsible for leaving sick children to waste away in hospitals all alone, for separating husband from wife, for stopping families from holding the hands of the dying or gathering for their funerals? No, no, and again, no. After mandates forced people out of jobs, and the vaccine-turned-therapeutic failed to stop transmission, are we really to stop asking about its potential side effects, or the relationship between pharmaceutical companies and the FDA? Are we really to let bygones be bygones for masking and lockdowns that will set students back for a decade, that shuttered businesses across the country, that multiplied deaths of despair? 

Zachary Faria:

“Let’s acknowledge that we made complicated choices in the face of deep uncertainty, and then try to work together to build back and move forward,” Oster writes.

Sorry, no deal.

You get the idea. Oster says, with her own emphasis, “We didn’t know.” Here’s the thing, Emily: you and the rest of the ruling class acted as if you did know. You demonized people for not masking or refusing the vaccine. You shut down schools and masked children in pre-schools and grade schools. Remember this?

Heartbreaking.

And here’s some people in authority looking like they were making “the many important choices we had to make under conditions of tremendous uncertainty.” You sure they were uncertain?

Here’s fake conservative and liberal grifter David French, who evangelical Christians may still listen to, explaining in August, 2021, that “[t]here is no religious liberty interest in refusing the COVID vaccine.”

At the same time, however, the remaining vaccine holdouts are growing more extreme, and significant parts of the Christian Right are enabling, excusing, and validating Evangelical behavior that is gravely wrong and dangerous to the lives and health of their fellow citizens. 

Us “extreme holdouts” are proving that not caving to the pressure from snakes like you was the wiser, more healthy choice.

Amnesty, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica:

Remarkably, the word amnesty is related to “amnesia.” Clearly she’s asking those of us who opposed all of the “experts” to just shrug it off and move on, to just forget it ever happened.

As a Christian man, I understand the command to forgive. ““If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times come back to you and says, ‘I repent,’ forgive him” (Luke 17:3-4).

What I don’t hear in Oster’s article is repentance. I hear, Mistakes Were Made. Nor does scripture say anything about forgiving those who are unrepentant. As a believer, I am willing to forgive when I see some contrition. I will forgive when there are meaningful apologies. I will forgive when I see the worst offenders held accountable for the damage they did.

What was done can’t be allowed to happen again, and just pretending that none of it happened so we can all be “friends” again will not prevent it from happening again.

What do you think?

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | A Starbs Barista Cries About Too Many Customers and Blames His Manager and Wants to Unionize Because They Will Fix It For Him

Daily Verse | John 17:3
“Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”

Thursday’s Reading: John 18-21

Happy Thursday or, as they say, Friday Eve.

There’s a phenomenon called “reaction videos” where someone will film themselves hearing a certain band or genre of music they’ve never heard before and reacting to it in the moment. Here’s a great compilation of what I’m talking about:

In today’s blog, I’m going react to a video but I’ll do it in writing. (I hope someday to start doing short videos of my material, but for now it’s the written word.)

Here’s the video, followed by my own transcription of what he said.

TRANSCRIPT: People wonder why we need a union at Starbucks. And I am literally about to quit. Like, I don’t know if I’m gonna do it, but, like, I really want to. I almost walked out today—*snif*—and [muddled…something about being in the backroom and being on the floor] it’s just [muddled] I’m like a full-time student I get scheduled for 25 hours a week and on weekends they schedule me the entire day, open to close, I’m on the schedule for eight-and-a-half hours—*snif*—both Saturday and Sunday. I’m like, three-and-a-half hours into my shift, there’s so many customers, and we have four people on the floor all day—weepy noizes—Only five people were put on the schedule and somebody had to call out and there are four people running the whole store and there are so many customers and there’s [muddled] scheduled five people—moar weepy noizes and snifs—We only have 13 people employed at this store and there’s so many customers and they’re gon—moar weepy *snif* noizes—We don’t have fair scheduling, managers don’t care about us, our manager was supposed to come in this weekend and he took himself off the schedule so he wouldn’t be able to be held accountable for calling out. He just literally tore down the schedule that he was scheduled on and put up a new schedule where he wasn’t on the schedule all so we couldn’t have even seen that he was scheduled in the first place because he didn’t want to be held accountable for not wanting to come in—*snif* and deep breath and hand on head and scrunchie face—They don’t want to help us—*snif*—We need a union because this can’t happen. This can’t happen. We need a fairer scheduling—*strong sniff*—we need managers to hold themselves accountable for helping their workers. They refuse to turn mobile orders off. We need the liberty to be able to do that because there’s so many mobile orders and they need to get through all of them and then—voice starts to tremble—people are yelling at me because I don’t have their orders ready—breaky crying voice—and I don’t know what to do and I need to do it. And a customer was misgendering me today like, really badly, I didn’t have their order ready and so they were just like [muddled] “she’s clearly incompetent.” I have a full mustache and beard!—sadz blubber *snif*—what the f**k! I don’t get accommodations for being neurodivergent. I don’t—sigh *snif*—like I can’t u—like I—people get mad at me for using my sick time—I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m like at my wit’s end with this job. I really am—*big sigh *snif*—and I just wanna be able to work.

REACTION: Good grief! I hope I die before the Chinese invade the U.S. and all we have standing between us and them is a soggy sack of snot-nosed self-absorbed soybois curled up on the floor with tears flooding their statement glasses.

R U SRIUS?

Let me sum up his gripe: he wants to unionize because he has to work hard when his store is short-staffed and there are a lot of customers and he has challenges.

He’s a full-time student! He’s scheduled 25 hours a week! He works full days on the weekends! His manager doesn’t care about him! His manager didn’t come in! He’s been called “she” even though he has facial hair! And, the worst, he gets no pass for being “neurodivergent,” which is a “nonmedical term that describes people whose brain develops or works differently for some reason.”

According to the Cleveland Clinic,

Neurodivergent isn’t a medical term. Instead, it’s a way to describe people using words other than “normal” and “abnormal.” That’s important because there’s no single definition of “normal” for how the human brain works.

The word for people who aren’t neurodivergent is “neurotypical.” That means their strengths and challenges aren’t affected by any kind of difference that changes how their brains work.

In other words, if someone is “neurotypical” they are … um, how do I put this? … normal.

AS AN ASIDE: All they’re doing is substituting “neurotypical” and “neurodivergent” for “normal” and “abnormal.” This is more of the same euphemistic idiocy pandering to emotional weaklings who demand to be treated as special because they all got participation trophies growing up so no one got the sadz. Having never suffered defeat or setback, they now run around ordering those of us who are normal to not call ourselves “normal” so they don’t feel left out.

Here’s my advice for “Evan” who, rumor has it, is attending an Ivy League School and might—emphasis on might—be a girl trying to be a boy. What is a woman, anyway?

First, nobody is holding a gun to your head, Evan. You don’t have to work 25 hours a week. You don’t have to work on the weekends. A job is voluntary, not compulsory.

Second, no one owes you a job. A company is not required to give you a job. A company agrees to hire and train you and pay you a certain amount of money, and you agree to perform certain duties in return for that money. If the company doesn’t think it’s working it out, they can terminate your employment. A job is voluntary, not compulsory, for the company, too.

Third, don’t bash your employer or your manager on social media where they are sure to see it. See previous paragraph.

Fourth, stop victimizing yourself. You have a brain that can’t be accommodated at Starbs? Find a place that is willing to accommodate it. Starbs is in the business of selling coffee, not comforting soft men.

Finally, listen to what the apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 16:13, where he uses the phrase, “act like men.” It’s a call to be tough or courageous when faced with a difficult situation (like living for Christ) and in our day we’d say something like, “man up” or “be a man” or “pull yourself together” or “grow a pair.”

Man up, Evan. Don’t collapse at the first sign of pressure. Build some perseverance. Learn to how to tough it out. Life can and will be harder than filling too many drink orders on a Saturday.

Daily Broadside | All the Signs Point to a Massive Red Wave … But Only If We Vote

Daily Verse | John 14:31
“… but the world must learn that I love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me.”

Wednesday’s Reading: John 15-17

Happy mid-week fellow travelers!

I have to admit that I’m feeling optimistic and cheery about the polling I’m seeing in the lead-up to Clifford the Big Red Dog wiping the floor with Blue from Blue’s Clues — if Blue was the snarling, mangy, tick-infested offspring of Shenzi the Hyena voiced by liberal swell Whoopi Goldberg in the Lion King.

Hey, cut me some slack. I’m working overtime, here.

It’s hard not to be encouraged by the polling.

Those are great odds.

If Deace is anywhere near accurate with his predictions for state governors, it bodes well for other races in red states.

RCP’s 2022 generic congressional vote shows Republicans with a nearly 3-point advantage.

Seven polls all show a swing to the GOP.

Tulsi Gabbard, who left the Democrat Party over their progressive extremism, endorses J.D. Vance in Ohio.

Ten blue state district House races that are moving toward GOP (not meaning the GOP leads the poll; just that the Dem position has softened).

In one of the most high-profile races, Lee Zeldin holds a razor-thin edge over incumbent Kathy Hochul. Amazing gains from the Zeldin campaign. Maybe New Yorkers are finally done with the extremism of the Democrats.

According to NBC News “Republicans hold MASSIVE advantage on 3 of 5 most Important issues according to New Gallup poll.” Coming from a Democrat house organ, it must be true.

There’s a lot more out there that should have us feeling good about November 8, but remember: none of it matters if you don’t vote.

Go give freedom a chance.

Daily Broadside | Lurch Fetterman’s Lump Losing to Dr. Oz in PA Race

Daily Verse | John 11:48
“If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

Tuesday’s Reading: John 13-14

It’s November and one week to Go Time. A week from today will either be a red wave of tsunami-sized proportions or a trickle of red leaking through an overflowing toilet in Arizona. For now, I’m feeling optimistic that we will see a flood of Republican wins washing away Democrats for at least a generation.

There’s a lot going on in these last days of campaigning. Here in Illinois, which always votes Democrat because of Chicago and Springfield, Republican Darren Bailey is 17 points down to Democrat incumbent Gov. Pritzker according to a Civiqs poll (Oct. 24) listed at FiveThirtyEight.com. Over at 270toWin.com Bailey is down by an average of almost 16 percent. He’s unlikely to pull off an upset.

However, things are looking brighter in other races across the U.S.

One of the most high-profile races features Dem Lt. Governor John Fetterman, who is now behind in his Senate race with Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz, who surged to the front after the Disastrous Debate Debacle featuring Fetterman’s mental deterioration after his stroke in May. That the media and the Dems (pretty sure I just repeated myself) have conspired to hide his mental state from voters and having repeatedly assured us that he was just fine, is not playing well with undecided voters.

Four polls conducted since the day of the one and only U.S. Senate debate in Pennsylvania have showed Dr. Mehmet Oz leading John Fetterman by two or three points, still within the margin of error, but suggesting Republicans are coming home to their party’s nominee while undecided voters are breaking for Oz over Fetterman. 

Just a word about Fetterman and the Dems hiding his condition. I have sympathy for Fetterman and sincerely hope he heals, physically. But I have zero compunction about noticing his condition and asking questions.

In the world of progressive utopia, we’re not supposed to notice, you know. We’re supposed to be passive and simply clap for Anyone Doing Anything. Noticing Fetterman’s mental difficulties is “ableist” according to Mrs. Fetterman and his performance during the debate should be lauded just because Fetterman and his Lump showed up.

He’d never get my vote anyway because of his hoodie-wearing, blue-collar progressive, anti-freedom ideology. Practically speaking, however, if Fetterman has an auditory processing disorder and can’t function even with compensation such as “closed captioning monitors to follow both the moderator questions and Oz’s remarks” (which, by the way, Oz didn’t have to agree to, yet did, thereby not being “ableist”) — what does that mean for processing debates at the highest levels of government?

I’ll tell you what it means: he can’t and won’t be able to process and will simply be a rubber stamp for the Democrats, albeit a very large rubber stamp. He won’t be able to think independently — but truthfully, he wouldn’t anyway.

All this to say, so called “journalists” and the Democrat party lied about his condition right up until they couldn’t hide it anymore. If anyone is “ableist,” it’s these monsters who enable a mentally deficient half-wit to run for national office.

I’m not the only one who thinks Fetterman isn’t fit for high office. Talk to the centrist Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, one of PA’s largest newspapers, which just endorsed Oz.

“We believe Mr. Oz is the better bet for Pennsylvania,” the board wrote, before writing that Fetterman’s health stemming from the stroke he suffered earlier this year was not an issue for them.

We’RE NOt aBLeIST!

“His lack of transparency, however, in refusing to release his medical records is troubling. It suggests an impulse to conceal and a mistrust of the people. All candidates for a major elected office should release their medical records, as did Mr. Oz. If you want privacy, don’t run for public office,” it added.

[…]

The board wrote that Fetterman’s “life experience and maturity” were also concerns because he “lived off his family’s money for much of his life,” and had “little experience in holding real jobs or facing the problems of working people.”

LOL … a lazy do-nothing wants to continue being a slacker, just with more money and prestige.

It also cited Fetterman’s lack of apology over in an incident in which he pulled a shotgun on an unarmed Black jogger after hearing gunshots, and his flip-flop on supporting fracking.

HOw daRE yOu, rAciST!

“Mr. Oz is extraordinarily wealthy, but achieved his worldwide fame and success largely through his own talent and determination,” the board wrote. “Unlike most Republican politicians, candidate Oz spent a lot of time in poor urban neighborhoods, talking to people and, most important, listening and learning.”

Bottom line is that Dr. Oz is up 3 points and holding. Still within the margin of error, but the momentum has shifted to him. I suspect that we’ll see him win that race.
