Daily Broadside | Big Government Wants You to Die From a Drug Overdose, Not From an Infection

Daily Verse | Leviticus 17:11
For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.

Tuesday’s Reading: Leviticus 18-20

It’s Tuesday and I am not making up what I’m about to share with you. One of the news sources I frequent had a story yesterday about the newest initiative of Brandon’s efforts to address “racial equity.”

The Washington Free Beacon reports that,

The Biden administration is set to fund the distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its plan to advance “racial equity.”

Just pause there for a second to admire the total incoherence of that statement of fact.

You’re going to give crack pipes to drug addicts to advance “racial equity”? What, are blacks competing with whites in the world of addiction?

In what sane society does enabling drug addicts to satisfy their addiction “advance racial equity”?

In Brandon’s world, this is apparently the compassionate thing to do.

The $30 million grant program, which closed applications Monday and will begin in May, will provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drug use safer for addicts. Included in the grant, which is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, are funds for “smoking kits/supplies.” A spokesman for the agency told the Washington Free Beacon that these kits will provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and “any illicit substance.”

HHS said the kits aim to reduce the risk of infection when smoking substances with glass pipes, which can lead to infections through cuts and sores. Applicants for the grants are prioritized if they treat a majority of “underserved communities,” including African Americans and “LGBTQ+ persons,” as established under President Joe Biden’s executive order on “advancing racial equity.”

I’m sorry, did I say the government is providing the kits? What I meant to say is that you are providing the kits. Since the government doesn’t actually produce anything of value that anyone wants to buy, they’re using the money they take from you and me to send drug reinforcement kits to drug addicts who otherwise would have to use—horrors!—glass crack pipes that lead to infections.

You see, the problem isn’t the addiction; the problem is the infections users get as a result of their self-destructive habit. We can’t have white people getting clean drug delivery products while black people get used drug delivery products! That ain’t fair!

Other equipment that qualifies for funding include syringes, vaccinations, disease screenings, condoms, and fentanyl strips.

Terrific. Instead of fighting addiction, the government has thrown in the towel and said, “if they’re going to do drugs, let’s make them comfortable.” This is entirely in keeping with the therapeutic embrace of anyone or anything that is “oppressed” by the traditional culture.

You’re a drug addict? Poor thing! What you need is compassion and understanding that your habit isn’t a bad thing. No! If drugs are your reality, well, then, the least we can do is protect you from the discomfort the results of drug use can produce. Here’s a clean crack pipe! That should put you on an equal footing with whitey.

This is the same as when the government provides clean needles to heroin addicts. “At least they aren’t getting infected by dirty needles.” It’s like filling potholes as people shuffle their way along the highway to hell. The problem isn’t the potholes; the problem is that the road goes to hell.

This is the insanity of the Left. The father of a drug addict (Joe) is enabling his son (Hunter) and other addicts to remain addicts—by keeping the unflattering results of their addiction suppressed and allowing the addiction itself to eventually kill them.

That’s the true “equity” in this program.

Daily Broadside | It May Take Even More Insanity for People to Quit Joe

Daily Verse | Exodus 35:21
… and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved him came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the Tent of Meeting …

Tuesday’s Reading: Exodus 38-40

Tuesday and the first day of the second month in the year of our Lord 2022.

A recent Marquette Law School poll claims Brandon beats both Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis by similar margins in hypothetical head-to-head match-ups for the 2024 presidential election.

The survey … found that 43 percent of adults nationwide would support Biden if the 2024 presidential election were held today, while 33 percent would vote for Trump in a one-on-one match-up.

In a hypothetical race against DeSantis, however, Biden polls slightly worse: 41 percent of adults nationwide said they would throw their support behind Biden, while 33 percent would support DeSantis.

All I can say is that their survey sample has to skew Democrat. Seriously, who did they talk to—voters in Portland?

After record inflation, open borders, more COVID deaths than under Trump, and near-anarchy in our cities, you’re telling me that 4-in-10 adults would still vote for Biden over Trump or DeSantis?

C’mon, man.

I mean, 40 percent is not 70 percent, so we have that going for us.

But then there’s this Harvard-Harris poll, which seems to herald a realignment of political loyalty.

In the latest Harvard-Harris poll, former President Donald Trump’s net favorability rating is 17 points higher than His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s.
[…]
Trump’s favorability is eight points higher than Slow Joe’s. Trump’s unfavorable rating is nine points lower. Trump is three points above the water. Biden is 14 points under the water.
[…]
Oh, and if the election were held today, Trump would beat Biden 46 to 40 percent. Oh, and when asked who’s been a better president, Trump beats Biden, 53 to 47 percent.

So which is it? The Marquette survey (Biden over Trump 43-33) or the Harvard-Harris poll (Trump over Biden 46-40)?

Here are two more data points to consider: In the RealClearPolitics poll of polls on favorability, Brandon is down -12.2 net points and Trump is only down -9.0 net points. That seems to match reality better than the law school’s survey.

The second data point is how Americans perceive Congress right now. Monmouth University Polling found that “Few Americans believe that either political party truly cares about the average family’s pocketbook.”

Just 19% of the public approves of the job Congress is currently doing. Almost 3 in 4 (74%) disapprove – including 81% of Republicans and 59% of Democrats. Just 24% of Americans feel the country is headed in the right direction. Another warning sign for the party in power is a shift in self-reported partisan affiliation. Currently, 26% of American adults identify themselves as Democrats, a number that ranged from 30% to 34% in Monmouth polling throughout last year. Republican identifiers currently stand at 31% of the population, which is up from a range of 23% to 27% in 2021. Moreover, when these numbers are combined with independents who say they lean toward either party, Republicans (51%) have a decided advantage over Democrats (41%).

A political consultant recently told me that people identify more and more as independents and that those independents are increasingly favoring Republicans. Not because Republicans are offering a more compelling story, but because Democrats have embraced the crazy and are scaring citizens.

Finally, one other poll from Politico and Morning Consult that has some interesting findings. When asked “If the 2024 presidential election were held today, would you vote for Joe Biden or the eventual Republican candidate?” 46 percent said they’d vote for the eventual Republican candidate and 37 percent said they’d vote for Brandon.

But when a specific person replaced the “Republican candidate,” the story was different. If the Republican candidate was Trump, Brandon would beat him 45%–44%; if it was Ron DeSantis, Brandon would beat him 44%–39%. Apparently, people are willing to vote for the “eventual Republican candidate” unless it’s the party favorites.

The conflicting results from different polls tell me that people are frustrated with Brandon and would like to make a change, but they don’t seem to like the choices for 2024. It also tells me that it may take a lot more pain for them to quit Brandon.

That is the most shocking thing of all.

Daily Broadside | A Spot Opens on the Supreme Court and We Already Know Who Will Fill It

Daily Verse | Exodus 23:2
Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong.

Thursday’s Reading: Exodus 25-28

Thursday and the big news is that Brandon will get to appoint a justice to the Supreme Court. Justice Stephen Breyer is stepping down at the end of the current Supreme Court term.

Breyer, who is 83, has been the subject of rampant speculation about his retirement. Liberal activists were calling for the justice to retire soon after Biden was inaugurated. Sources close to Breyer, however, said the justice made the decision on his own terms and was not forced out. 

Breyer is a consistently liberal justice, so any pick by Brandon won’t change the make-up of the court. Observers currently assess the court as 6-3 conservative leaning, although with some of the more recent decisions, you could’ve fooled me (looking at you, Chief Justice Roberts).

Brandon promised to nominate a black woman to the court to secure Rep. Jim Clyburn’s, (D-S.C.), endorsement during the 2020 South Carolina primary.

“In the wake of Justice Breyer’s retirement, I want to voice my support for President Biden in his pledge to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. The Court should reflect the diversity of our country, and it is unacceptable that we have never in our nation’s history had a Black woman sit on the Supreme Court of the United States,” [Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.,] said. 

We’re now at that stage in our country’s dissolution when superficial characteristics, like skin tone, are a priority when choosing someone to fill a powerful and enduring role. Like VP (Virtue Pick) Kamala Harris, so this one will be. Rather than focusing on the person’s ability to objectively and impartially interpret the U.S. Constitution, identity politics has taken over and progressives will relentlessly push a radical who will give them what they want that they can’t get otherwise through the legislative process.

In other words, the person won’t earn the position based on merit.

Instead of a political appointment, what we need are ORIGINALISTS who interpret the constitution as it was written, not reading new “rights” into it like Roe v. Wade or Obergefell v. Hodges. Nor do we need picks who simply fulfill some aggrieved constituency’s demands, like Sen. Murray and Rep. Clyburn are demanding.

Speaking of Virtue Picks, Justice Sotomayor just wrote a scathing dissent over S.B. 8, “the six-week ban that allows virtually anyone to sue providers and their ‘abettors.'”

As she did during each previous encounter with S.B. 8, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a seething dissent from her colleagues’ refusal to provide relief. Her latest opinion reaches a new level of bruising, eloquent fury. It also conveys the very strong impression that the Republican-appointed justices are on the brink of overturning Roe outright, and there is nothing she can do but denounce its imminent downfall.

What did the “wise Latina” write?

I dissented in Whole Woman’s Health II because the Court’s dismissal of the most important portions of the petitioners’ claims, beyond being unfaithful to our precedents, left all manner of constitutional rights vulnerable to nullification. I explained that the Court had “clear[ed] the way for States to reprise and perfect Texas’ scheme in the future” in order to target this and other rights with impunity.

Today’s decision shows that any hope that Whole Woman’s Health II might protect the Constitution’s guarantees in this case was illusory. As it turns out, Texas did not even have to amend its law to sidestep the minimal relief this court left available. Instead, Texas wagered that this court did not mean what little it said in Whole Woman’s Health II or, at least, that this Court would not stand behind those words, meager as they were. That bet has paid off. Despite this Court’s protestations over the “extraordinary solicitude” it gave this case and the narrowness of any dispute, it accepts yet another dilatory tactic by Texas. As a result, the District Court will remain powerless to address S. B. 8’s unconstitutional chill on abortion care, likely for months to come.

This case is a disaster for the rule of law and a grave disservice to women in Texas, who have a right to control their own bodies. I will not stand by silently as a state continues to nullify this constitutional guarantee. I dissent. 

That doesn’t sound like a reasoned opinion. It sounds like a tantrum—a tantrum thrown by a liberal.

Chief Justice John Roberts, who is very concerned with the perception of the Supreme Court, once rebuked president Trump when he complained about decisions the court had made. “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them … That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.” He also once said, “We don’t work as Democrats or Republicans.”

That sounds noble and there’s probably some truth to it, but the greater truth is that the justices work as Liberals and Conservatives and sometimes as Swing Votes. Everybody knows it. Every pick is made with an eye on the nominee’s politics and judicial philosophy.

Breyer, 83, has served on the court since 1994, after he was appointed by President Bill Clinton to replace the liberal icon Harry Blackmun. One of the body’s most prominent liberals, Breyer consistently found himself at odds with the court’s conservative majority, and even more so during Donald Trump’s White House tenure after the Senate confirmed Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.

So don’t believe that SCOTUS is an impartial body. They’re not. And the Democrats will nominate as radical a pick as they think they can get through the Senate, with Virtue Pick Kamala Harris being the deciding vote.

If you want a peek at the list of Brandon’s nominees, look what The Babylon Bee found: Exclusive: The Babylon Bee Has Obtained Biden’s List Of Possible SCOTUS Nominees.

Don’t write me letters.

Daily Broadside | Old Man Swears at Reporter, Eats Ice Cream While Russia Starts WWIII

Daily Verse | Exodus 20:20
Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you and keep you from sinning.”

Wednesday’s Reading: Exodus 22-24

Happy Wednesday and we’re midweek as the squatters in the White House continue to wreck the country that was the United States of America before the election of 2020. The economy is in shambles, the stock market is heaving, inflation is up, the J6 protesters continue to rot in confinement, Russia is threatening world war, our borders are dissolved, murders are up across the nation, and we’ve got a demented old man in office swearing at reporters.

Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

The good news is that Brandon continues to crash in his approval ratings.

President Biden’s approval rating has tanked to a new low of just 39 percent as his administration contends with a number of domestic and global concerns, a new poll shows.

The abysmal rating was derived from the latest Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll that was shared exclusively with The Hill.

“This is a new low for President Biden as he struggles to solve a myriad of issues,” pollster Mark Penn said, according to the report.

“He struggles to solve.” Got news for you: Brandon isn’t struggling to solve anything.

The big unanswered question of the Biden presidency: when—and where—will the Ice-Cream-Lover-in-Chief get his first local scoop? Turns out the answer is Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams on Barracks Row. The President made a quick pitstop at the ice cream shop this afternoon after a visit to neighboring boutique Honey Made, where he admired necklaces on the wall for “my wife,” examined a coaster with a German shepherd on it, and picked up a Kamala Harris mug, according to a pool report.

At least we got that “big unanswered question” out of the way. Now on to less urgent matters, like whether Russia will start World War III or if his fiscal policies will wipe out your life savings.

More on the poll from The Hill:

Fifty-six percent of suburban voters in the poll said they believe former President Trump was a better president than President Biden, while 44 percent said they believed Biden was the better president. Among surveyed voters who were labeled “Independent or other,” 55 percent said they believed Trump was the better president and 45 percent said they believed Biden was the better president.

Meanwhile, 57 percent of suburban respondents said they are more likely to vote for a Republican candidate in the midterms, while 43 percent said they would be more likely to vote for a Democratic candidate. The poll found the same results among voters labeled “Independent or other.”

Are these the same independents who swung to Biden in 2020’s election? Do they have regrets? Did their norms not get restored? Do they miss the mean tweets? Did they “underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up“?

As for the economy, a new poll released on Monday from Rasmussen shows that

Roughly 60 percent of voters think the economy is “not very fair” (29 percent) or “not at all fair” (31 percent), according to a Rasmussen poll released on Monday.

The survey found that only seven percent of voters believe the economy is “very fair,” while 26 percent think the economy is “somewhat fair.” The findings are a “sharp shift” from 2019, when 56 percent of voters said they believed the economy was “somewhat fair” and 15 percent thought it was “not at all fair.”

You betcha.

I’d love to claim that a red tsunami is on the horizon, but I said that about the presidential election in 2020. It was true then and it’s true now, of course, but with the Resident saying things like, “I’m not going to say [the 2022 midterms are] going to be legit. The increase and the prospect of being illegitimate is in direct proportion to us not being able to get these reforms passed,” we can no longer have any confidence in our elections. And the voting “reforms” did not pass so, according to Brandon, the elections are as good as stolen.

In other words, all looks good from the outside. If the elections are stolen, like Brandon suggests, it won’t be us who did the stealing.

Daily Broadside | So Glad We’re Back to a Stable World

Daily Verse | Exodus 12:40-41
Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years. At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the Lord’s divisions left Egypt.

Monday’s Reading: Exodus 15-18

Monday and we’re now into the first full week of Brandon’s second year as Resident as Russia! Russia! Russia! threatens to invade Ukraine at the invitation delivered last week by the dunce in the White House; “minor incursion” and all that. Do you know that Trump was the only president in the last 30 years to not start or escalate existing foreign conflicts or war? Barring some kind of intervention, that’s all about to change as our military service members in their high-heels, pregnancy flight suits and vaccines prepare to defend Ukraine against Russian aggression and mockery of our woke civilian military.

The US and its allies will deliver a “swift, severe and united response” if Russia invades Ukraine, the secretary of state, Antony Blinken, warned on Sunday amid rising tensions.

Maybe. I don’t trust anything that Blinken says nor the administration’s competence to deliver or sustain a smack-down on the Russians. Perhaps their attitude is the same as Megamind’s:

The only reason Russia is even making the move on Ukraine is that Brandon is an empty suit who reads whatever is put on his teleprompter. He’s certainly not a geopolitical genius, as his catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan showed us. Effects of the invasion could be harsh for the U.S.

Treasurys are a traditional haven during periods of geopolitical and economic stress. A rally in Treasurys would pull down yields, which move in the opposite direction of prices. A Treasury selloff has pushed up yields, with the 10-year Treasury rate TMUBMUSD10Y, 1.778% finishing near 1.77% Friday after hitting a nearly two-year high earlier in the week.

The Swiss franc, another popular haven, could also rally, with the euro/Swiss franc EURCHF, 0.12% currency pair likely to fall to CHF1.03 “on a frozen rope if Russia moves,” Donnelly said. The euro bought 1.043 francs Friday.

Also:

If Russia invades Ukraine, inflation-weary Americans will likely pay even higher prices at the pump.Oil prices have already shot up to seven-year highs in recent days. A conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which the White House has warned could be imminent, would have the potential to drive them much higher.That’s because Russia is the No. 2 oil producer on the planet, behind only the United States. And Ukraine is a key energy transit hub, where a large amount of Russian natural gas exports to Europe flow through.

An invasion of Ukraine would trigger immediate fears of sanctions from Washington on Russia’s vast energy resources, damage to the region’s energy infrastructure and raise the specter of Vladimir Putin weaponizing exports of natural gas and crude oil.

Investors would buy first and ask questions later.

What does Russia want?

The Kremlin wants what it says: an end to NATO expansion, a rollback of previous expansion, a removal of American nuclear weapons from Europe, and a Russian sphere of influence. However, Putin may accept less. The Kremlin’s primary goal is a guarantee that Belarus, Ukraine, and Georgia will never belong to a military or economic bloc other than the ones Moscow controls and that Russia will be the ultimate arbitrator of the foreign and security policy of all three states. In essence, this conflict is about whether 30 years after the demise of the Soviet Union, its former ethnic republics can live as independent, sovereign states or if they still must acknowledge Moscow as their de facto sovereign.

The G7 is threatening harsh economic sanctions that would severely hurt Russia, so it’s possible that an invasion can be avoided. But maybe not:

The United States has ordered the families of all American staff at the US Embassy in Ukraine to leave the country amid heightened concern that Russia, which has massed troops on the border, is about to invade.

In a statement on Sunday, the State Department also said that non-essential embassy staff could leave Ukraine at government expense and that all Americans should consider departing immediately.

[…]

The US Embassy in Kyiv warned that “military action by Russia could come at any time and the United States government will not be in a position to evacuate American citizens in such a contingency, so US citizens currently present in Ukraine should plan accordingly.”

Take them at their word, embassy staff.

A Russian invasion could lead to a much bigger conflict and pull focus away from Brandon’s problems at home and perhaps trigger aggression by China and Iran, two other foes who have, respectively, designs on Taiwan and avenging the loss of top commander Qasem Soleimani who died by a US drone strike two years ago. If either of them act while we’re dealing with Russia, all bets are off.

But at least the tweets are nice, right NeverTrump?

Daily Broadside | Brandon Locks Up Nomination for “Worst President Ever” in Just His First Year!

Daily Verse | Exodus 4:13
But Moses said, “O Lord, please send someone else to do it.”

Friday’s Reading: Exodus 7-11
Saturday’s Reading: Exodus 12-14

Friday and we’re officially into the second year of the catastrophic failure that is the Brandon administration. Joey Sugar Cone was, at best, a mediocre Senator during his years in the upper chamber, and even that’s being generous. He’s always been an empty, clueless, vacuous, talentless greasy fabulist in a suit without an original thought or spine, and zero leadership skills.

He’s an actor who’s fed his lines by a staff that is paid to make him look smart. But get him away from his script and he says things like, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” or “it depends on what [Russia] does [in Ukraine]. It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion,” or “There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy in the—of the United States from Afghanistan.”

Now he’s old and his mental acuity (if you can call it that), is in decline. Combined with his untalented, incompetent, pretentious buffoonery over the last fifty years and you get what we’re looking at today: an unmitigated disaster of a man who has no wisdom, no idea how to navigate the political waters he’s floating on, and is an empty vessel onto which the extremists he brought with him into the White House project their vomit-inducing ideology.

The result of Brandon’s empty rhetoric and yummy vanilla ice cream cones?

  • Brandon revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline and killed our energy independence. That contributed to a 60 percent rise in gas prices, the highest since 1980.
  • Brandon botched our withdrawal from Afghanistan, getting 13 U.S. soldiers killed and abandoning thousands of American civilians and allies to the Taliban.
  • Brandon has U.S. inflation running at 39-year highs, with 6.8 percent year-to-year inflation, the greatest 12-month increase since 1982. December’s inflation rate was 7 percent.
  • Brandon can’t fix supply chain issues, causing a shortage of essential commodities across the country.
  • Brandon has created even more division than under Trump with his administration demonizing conservatives and Republicans as “domestic terrorists.” Brandon has also likened his ideological opponents as the worst of racist Democrats like Bull Connor and George Wallace while trying to wear the mantle of Abraham Lincoln.
  • Brandon promised that he would shut down the Peking Lung Pox, but its offspring are running rampant across the country. More people have died of the virus under his watch (426,000) than all that died under Trump. By his own logic, Brandon should resign: “220,000 Americans dead … anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as President of the United States of America.”
  • Brandon has presided over the collapse of our southern border, with 1.7 million illegal aliens apprehended crossing our border in 2021.
  • Brandon sits at a 42 percent approval rating with at least on poll putting him at 33%.

Has Brandon restored our norms yet? Is everybody quite at peace and harmony now that Brandon is Resident and Orange Man Bad is gone? No more mean tweets, right?

If you were looking for Jimmy Carter 2.0, you must be thrilled.

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | More Evidence That November Will Be a Blowout

Daily Verse | Genesis 47:1
Joseph went and told Pharaoh, “My father and brothers, with their flocks and herds and everything they own, have come from the land of Canaan and are now in Goshen.”

Wednesday’s Reading: Genesis 48-50

It’s mid-week as we grind on, one day at a time, toward the mid-term elections in November. Funny how when your guy is in office there isn’t enough time to get done everything you want, but when the other guy is in office time slows to a crawl and you can’t wait until his term ends.

January 2025 can’t come soon enough. However, Brandon is “in charge” for the next three years, so we still have plenty of work to do in opposing his and his Marxist stooges’ agenda to overthrow what little remains of the American experiment in self-governance. If they have their way, we’ll be little more than a third-world stinkhole, atop which they sit with the riches they’ve accumulated unto themselves.

I have some hope, as I wrote yesterday, that national sentiment is turning against Joey Sugar Cone and he’ll be hampered (legally) by a Republican majority House and Senate. If you want to troll the Left, suggest that the way that will happen is that Trump will be elected as a Rep. from his district in Florida, he’ll become Speaker of the House, which will then impeach Biden and Harris, removing them from office and leaving Trump to complete Brandon’s term since it was stolen from him anyway, and then Trump will run for another full term as president.

That won’t happen, but can you imagine the hysterics and complete meltdown of the Left if Trump was president for 11 years? I LOL very hard at the thought.

Still, one has to be heartened by the cratering approval ratings of the stuffed sock-puppet we know as the Resident.

Biden’s approval rating has suffered a similar decline, from 56 percent in the days following his inauguration to just 42 percent in recent weeks, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average. A Quinnipiac poll published last week measured Biden’s approval rating at just 33 percent, which matched the polling firm’s lowest recorded approval rating for former president Donald Trump in the days after the storming of the Capitol building in January 2021.

Eighty. One. Million. Votes. Either the election was rigged or we’re seeing the greatest case of buyer’s remorse ever recorded in American history. Maybe both.

Put the nose-diving approval rating (could it go even lower?) together with the great evaporation of Democrat leaning independents, add the number of current Democrats who are bailing out ahead of the midterms—29, with only 18 Republicans not seeking reelection—and you’ve got the makings of a major blowout come November. While not getting cocky, this is good news if for no other reason than it can restrain the damage that the criminal enterprise known as the Democrat Party can do to the nation over the remainder of Brandon’s term.

Cultural Marxists have infiltrated and taken over nearly every facet of America that counts: education, politics, arts and entertainment, media, journalism, medicine, law, even certain quarters of the church. They may encounter resistance, but they are determined and indefatigable, always pressing forward, never retreating, never giving in, never giving up. They cannot be appeased, persuaded or bargained with. If they lose, they will come back at it again and again. They will never stop until they are in complete control or they are dead.

People need to wake up to the fact that we’re in a fight we didn’t choose, but it falls to us nonetheless. Winning the House and the Senate in November will help.

Daily Broadside | We’ve Been Had and They Know We Know

Daily Verse | Revelation 13:18
This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666.

Thursday’s Reading: Revelation 14-16

Happy Thursday my friends. It’s the Last Day of 2021 Eve. If there’s anything you want to get done this year, now is the time to do it.

In keeping with the shorter posts this week, here’s a rundown on a number of recent developments concerning the Beijing Bat Blight and a conclusion that we all knew was true.

Resident Brandon’s brilliant plan to “shut down the virus” was what we all knew it was: a lie. It was political posturing, empty boasting, an unverifiable claim. He never had a plan to shut down the virus. The claim was preposterous on its face. Viruses can’t be “shut down.” Yet he ran on that claim and ran on it hard.

Joey Softserve going all gangsta’ with his mad boi tones and aviator shades.

Lying is as natural to him as breathing. You know how I know it’s a lie? Because he didn’t shut down the virus.

In fact, not only did he not Shut Down the VirusTM, the number of deaths from Covid under his administration is higher than under Trump’s—and Resident Biden had an advantage Trump didn’t: he had the vaccine handed to him.

According to The New York Times, as of Christmas, there were 814,891 Covid deaths in the U.S. And The Washington Post has deaths under Trump at 402,269. With some simple subtraction, we see there are 412,622 deaths under Biden.

The New York Times also just reported that the “seven-day average of U.S. cases topped 267,000 on Tuesday, with Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia particularly hard hit”—a new record!

Wait, wait, what was that thing Biden said about the number of deaths under Trump at their debate?

“220,000 Americans dead,” [Biden] said during the Oct. 22 debate. “You hear nothing else I say tonight, hear this. Anyone who … is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America.”

I hear you, Resident Dopey, and by that standard, I’ll be expecting your resignation later today.

But wait! What’s this?! Biden admitting that’s he’s a fraud and liar:

“There is no federal solution, this gets solved at the state level.” — Resident 81MillionLOL

But wait, there’s more! Apparently, “The Science” has shown that Covid-19 doesn’t require a 14-day quarantine anymore. No! It doesn’t even require a 10-day quarantine! What “The Science” shows is that it only requires a five-day quarantine because only five days protects airlines from going bankrupt!

“As with healthcare, police, fire and public transportation workforces, the Omicron surge may exacerbate personnel shortages and create significant disruptions to our workforce and operations,” Airlines for America CEO Nicholas Calio wrote in a letter to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky on Thursday.

The letter, which echoes what Delta Air Lines wrote to Walensky on Tuesday, shows the airline industry’s increasing concern about the impact of the guidelines as Covid cases, particularly of the omicron variant, increase around the country.

That was December 23. The airlines, you see, are too big to fail. They must be rescued, so voila! Isolation guidance now follows “The Money Science,” which looks a lot like politics and big business.

“It really had a lot to do with what we thought people would be able to tolerate,” says CDC Director Walensky.

Oh.

We know we’ve been had by them. They know they’ve had us. And they know that we know that we’ve been had by them.

They can’t keep the lid on it anymore.

But they’ll try.

Daily Broadside | Joe Manchin is the thin blue line

Daily Verse | James 1:13-14
When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.

Tuesday’s Reading: 1 Peter 1-5

Tuesday and Joe Manchin continues to suffer the indignity of having his patriotism, honesty and morality smeared. To hear progressives tell it, the “other” Joe has torpedoed democracy, reneged on his promised support for the Build Better Bolshevism bill and has betrayed the poor and the children to a lifetime of hardship.

Fortunately, he’s got a spine.

“I knew where they were, and I knew what they could and could not do. They just never realized it, because they figured surely to God we can move one person, surely we can badger and beat one person up, surely we can get enough protesters to make that person uncomfortable enough,” he said. “Well, guess what? I’m from West Virginia. I’m not from where they’re from and they can just beat the living crap out of people and think they’ll be submissive, period.”

If it wasn’t for Joe Manchin, we’d be looking at an economic wrecking ball across our country. I kinda feel like this:

Some Democrats, including Kirsten Powers, think Manchin should just become a Republican. But Manchin thinks otherwise.

He criticized Democrats for approaching legislation “as if you have 55 or 60 senators that are Democrats and you can do whatever you want.”

“I think I still represent the centrist wing of a Democratic Party that has compassion but also has reasonability,” he said.

[…]

And as for whether he thinks there’s still a place for him in the Democratic Party, he said: “I would like to hope there are still Democrats who think like I do. I’m fiscally responsible and socially compassionate. Now, if there are no Democrats like that, then they’ll have to push me where they want me.”

I hate to break it to you, Joe, but your hope that there’s still some Dems who think like you do is a pipe dream. Like I said yesterday, besides Kyrsten Sinema and Tulsi Gabbard, that “wing” of the Democrat party is nearly invisible. I mean, every single Democrat is onboard with the BBB — except Manchin. Where are those “centrists” he’s referring to?

Not in the Senate.

I thank God for Joe Manchin. It is one more display of His grace and compassion that He provided a way out from underneath the tyrannical aspirations of the Democrat party, and He did it with a Democrat.

Daily Broadside | Joe is Perfect and This is Fine

Daily Verse | Hebrews 6:19
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.

Friday’s Reading: Hebrews 8-10
Saturday’s Reading: Hebrews 11-13

It’s Friday and as we head into the weekend, some good news for those of us who can’t wait for Joe Brandon to be kicked to the curb in 2024.

As Stephen Green reported in this article at PJ Media,

Gallup recently updated its long-term party affiliation poll, which asks American voters one or two simple questions:

– In politics, as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, a Democrat or an independent?
– (If they ID as independents) As of today, do you lean more to the Democratic Party or the Republican Party?

Currently, 31% say they’re Republicans, up slightly from the usual mid-20s to 30%. 41% told Gallup that they’re independent voters, in line with the average swing. Only 27% self-ID as Democrats, which is down from the more typical 29-32%.

[…]

But it’s the second question that should have Washington Democrats changing their shorts.

Indies, asked whether they lean towards the Democrats or the GOP, broke for the GOP 47% to 41%.

If you’d like to see for yourself, here’s the link.

Half of all independent voters leaned Democrat as Resident Biden was [criminally] inaugurated on January 20. Since then, the Democrats have lost 9% of Indies. Conversely, Republicans started with 41% of independents in January and have picked up 6% since.

This is, of course, due to the flagrant incompetence and moral corruption of the current administration, which has left normal Americans bearing the financial cost of raging inflation.

In another poll conducted by Morning Consult/Politico, they found that more independent voters support Trump running for president in 2024 (31%) than they do Brandon (23%). Of course, the flip side is that 67% of independent voters say Biden should not run for a second term while 59% don’t believe Trump should seek reelection.

With independent voters abandoning Democrats, Republicans should feel the wind in their sails. As Green says,

At this time in Barack Obama’s first term, the breakdown was a much more Dem-friendly 25R/41I/32D. And the Indy swing was exactly reversed, 41R/47D.

Yet the Democrats still lost a whopping 63 seats in the House and seven more in the Senate in the following midterm election.

In yet another sign of how Democrats have lost their grip on the electorate, Biden’s support among Hispanics has also cratered. In their article, “Biden Has Lost Support Across All Groups Of Americans — But Especially Independents And Hispanics,” FiveThirtyEight found that,

Recent polling suggests that Hispanic approval of Biden’s handling of the pandemic and the economy has fallen sharply. The latest poll from The Economist/YouGov found just 45 percent of Hispanics approved of Biden’s handling of the pandemic, compared with 65 percent in early June. And Politico/Morning Consult’s new survey found Hispanic approval of Biden’s handling of the economy has dropped to 42 percent, compared with 60 percent back in June. Hispanics are also frustrated with how Biden has dealt with immigration — long one of Biden’s weakest issues in the public’s eyes — and although it isn’t the most important issue for Hispanic voters, it is often a highly salient one. Earlier this month, Quinnipiac University found that only 23 percent of Hispanic Americans approved of Biden’s work on immigration, down from 49 percent in late May. Even if that might be on the low end for Biden, the new Politico/Morning Consult survey also found him performing more poorly on the issue among Hispanic voters, as just 40 percent approved, compared with 51 percent in June.

I … am … laughing!

The Democrats and cultural Marxists (but I repeat myself) are flooding the country with Hispanics, believing that they will vote Democrat and keep the progressive commies in power. But it’s looking like it might be backfiring spectacularly. Wouldn’t that be poetic justice if in abolishing We the People and replacing them with another, the Dems still lost power?

In another article about the same poll, MSNBC writes,

But it’s possible that no political development worries blue America’s operatives more than Hispanic voters’ rightward drift.

Biden’s approval rating has declined with just about every demographic. But no racial or ethnic group has soured on the president more than Hispanics, according to FiveThirtyEight’s aggregation of all available polls.

In one recent survey from The Wall Street Journal, Hispanic voters were about evenly split between Republicans and Democrats on the question of which party they intended to support in next year’s midterms. And in a hypothetical Biden versus Trump rematch, the two candidates were statistically tied among Hispanics. The poll is an outlier, and its sample of Hispanic voters is small. But such a result would scarcely be possible in a world where Hispanic support for the Democratic Party was at remotely normal levels.

Of course, all this comes in the wake of an election that saw the GOP gain eight points among Hispanic voters, according to the Democratic data firm Catalist.

Finally, the most recent Rasmussen Reports “finds that, if the elections for Congress were held today, 48% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for the Republican candidate, while 39% would vote for the Democrat.”

The nine-point edge for Republicans in the latest poll is still larger than Democrats enjoyed at any time during the 2018 midterm campaign, due both to greater GOP partisan intensity and a 17-point advantage among independents. While 87% of Republican voters say they would vote for their own party’s candidate, only 80% of Democrats would vote for the Democratic candidate. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 44% would vote Republican and 27% would vote Democrats, while nine percent (9%) would vote for some other candidate and 20% are undecided.

On top of all this, 20 House Democrats are not seeking re-election in 2022, which means that keeping their majority just got that much harder.

Yeah, everything right now is looking like a political tsunami is building that will completely wipe out the Democrats in 2022. Yet Nancy Pelosi can gush at a Democratic National Committee holiday celebration,

And Mr. President, it is an honor and, of course, a pleasure to be here at this time of challenge — and with the coronavirus, the national insecurity for families, natural disasters.

Our country could not be more — it could not be better served, than with this most experienced, capable hands than yours, President Biden. He’s just perfect! The timing couldn’t be better.

Nancy as a meme:

Right. Don’t get cocky. But enjoy the general downward trajectory of all things commie Democrat.

Have a great weekend.
