Democrats show how empty their hand truly is by playing the race card over and over again.

Donkey Hotey; Karine Jean-Pierre 

 The American Spectator  "On Monday I had a post at RVIVR, which is my other site, noting that as the polls begin to harmonize around the idea that yes, contrary to all the frenetic legacy corporate Democrat-shill media narratives, there will in fact be a red wave in November, Democrats are becoming desperate.

"And they’re throwing everything they can find into the mix in a desperate attempt to stave off that red wave. That’s why you’ve got the “Inflation Reduction Act” which doesn’t reduce inflation, it’s why Team Biden now touts a half-trillion-dollar student loan bailout bacchanal which nobody thinks is good policy, it’s why the president just pardoned all the dope dealers in America who pled down to possession charges from the federal prisons, it’s why he dumped 10 million barrels of oil out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve after the unmitigated failure to stop OPEC from kicking sand in his face, and it’s why Joe Biden is running his senile old mouth about nuclear Armageddon.

"None of these things are about prudent governance. They’re actually not even about smart politics. In every case, they’re actions that will likely alienate more voters than they’ll attract. But when you’re in desperation/salvage mode you do things to activate your base, and Team Biden, which is really akin to a fuzzy toilet seat cover over what is really Team Obama, is trying to save as many Democrats as possible by ginning up soft blue voters who can’t quite delude themselves into the idea that things are going well.

"That isn’t to say what they’re doing is effective. In fact, the truest thing you can say about Team Biden/Team Obama is that they suck at promoting and implementing their sucktastic agenda. Nevertheless, there is a purpose behind the suck, and it’s to get all the Usual Suspects out to vote in November.

"Which is why you see idiocy like this:

Undercover Video Backfire: Conservatives Go Crazy for GOP Congressman's Call to Break Up the FBI

 PJ Media  "If you’re going to post an undercover video with hopes that it goes viral, it’s important to understand your audience.

"This is a lesson Democrat bigshot Scott Dworkin might take to heart after his massive public Twitter fail on Monday afternoon.

"Dworkin “You Can’t Spell Dworkin Without ‘Dork’!” breathlessly released undercover video of Rep. Dave Schweikert (R-Ariz.) “talking about breaking up the FBI and impeaching members of the Biden Administration if GOP wins House.”

"Here’s the clip:"  

Media Go To Increasingly Absurd Lengths To Protect Biden

It took 21 months under Biden for the economy to regain 10 million of those jobs — an average of 476,000 a month. But in Trump’s last nine months in office, 12.5 million got their jobs back — an average of 1.4 million a month.

  Issues & Insights  "Just how far will the leftist media go to protect President Joe Biden? If the past couple of weeks are any indication, there is no limit.

"Take the incident in late September where Biden repeatedly called out for a dead congresswoman to come forward. It happened when he was speaking at a White House conference on nutrition and health and started thanking lawmakers who’d worked on the issue.

“ 'Representative Jackie — are you here? Where’s Jackie? — I think she was going to be here,” Biden said.

"Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Ind., had died in a car wreck in August. Biden even issued a statement at the time, saying “Jill and I are shocked and saddened by the death of Congresswoman Jackie Walorski of Indiana along with two members of her staff in a car accident today in Indiana.” Yet there he was, searching her out in the audience.

"Most cognizant Americans saw this for what it was: Another worrisome sign that Biden’s mental acuity is rapidly declining. For the press, however, it was an opportunity to praise the 79-year-old.

"Jill Lawrence, a former commentary editor at USA Today, wrote that “there’s another way to look at this.” Namely, she said, it shows “how generous and professional Biden is.”

"He was just trying to be nice to a lawmaker, and a Republican one to boot, she wrote. What a guy! And how refreshingly different from that evil Trump! “Some things,” she concludes, “are more important than age and a perfect memory.” How touching.

"Then, within a matter of days, both the New York Times and the Washington Post each published stories defending Biden against his habit of, well, lying about just about everything, especially about himself.

"The Times headlined its article: “Biden, Storyteller in Chief, Spins Yarns That Often Unravel.' ”. . .

OUT OF TOUCH Joe Biden Causes Twitter Explosion After Claiming Gas Prices Have Always Been High

   Joe Biden said the other day that “it’s always been the case” that gas in LA is $7 per gallon. The average gas price in LA has never been $7 and was $3.15 when Trump left office.

Joe Biden chomps ice cream, tells fawning media economy is 'strong as hell'  Yes, the economy's "hell" all right, and Joe's cooling off with expensive ice cream while you and I and all the other Americans are taking the heat from it.

What a vile picture of a president so out of touch he has no idea how bad he looks. He's flaunting his ice cream before us, as we contemplate the latest monster inflation figures and 401(k) losses, taking a lick, and telling us we have a "strong as hell" economy.

Pete Buttigieg’s delusional boast about Democrats’ failing campaigns

The Mayor learned from watching Biden that it is easy to look Americans in the eye, lie about the obvious, and be fully supported by much of the electorate. TD

When Buttigieg entered the Democrat presidential primary in 2019, the only real ability he demonstrated was that he could leverage himself into positions for which he seemed to have no useful qualifications. Briefly, he was a good student, whose hard-left focus showed him perfectly suited for a life in academia but did not train him in any of the skills required for being president. 

. . ." And then, there Buttigieg was, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, the 310th largest city in America but recently ranked as the 10th most dangerous city in America. During his mayoralty, Buttigieg had virtually no significant accomplishments and never received more than 11% of the vote. 

"Heading into the Democrat party primaries, where he placed very well, Buttigieg had only two things going for him: First, he made a big deal out of being gay, as if that is a useful accomplishment that qualifies one to be a nation’s chief executive. Second, he has a truly beautiful voice, one that is deep and mellifluous, making any nonsense he spouts sound weirdly reasonable. 

"Those minimal qualifications catapulted Buttigieg onto Biden's cabinet as Transportation Secretary and, today, allow him to spin a complete fantasy for the Democrats’ poor polling leading up to the midterms. According to him, Biden’s policies have been so darn good it is impossible for Democrat candidates properly to explain all the benefits to voters:"

California Wants 100% Electric Vehicles By 2035. Will Its Energy Grid Be Ready? (forbes.com)


. . ."Without doubt, the switchover to electric vehicles (EVs) is important for decarbonization because the transportation sector accounts for 27% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. But for policy change to have political support, the switching costs should be low. This is especially true for cars on which the modern society is dependent. Gasoline car owners drive up to gas stations anytime to fuel up. EV owners would probably expect the same: charge their cars at their convenience.

"But can they? Apparently not.

"California’s EV announcement came at an unfortunate time because the state soon thereafter experienced a heatwave. This led to a surge in electricity demand, creating the possibility of widespread rolling blackouts.". . .
