Looks like California is wasted on California voters

 Apparently, the California anti-Newsom voters all live in Texas now.

How Gavin Newsom survived the recall - POLITICO  . . ."By Labor Day, Newsom had turned what started as an up-or-down vote on his governorship into a choice between him and Elder, the radio show host Newsom relentlessly tethered to Trump — with a predictable outcome in this staunchly Democratic state. For Newsom, the emergence of Elder as the GOP's standard bearer was an unexpected gift, so beneficial to the governor that many Republicans came to resent Elder for turning the race into a traditional — and unwinnable — choice election.". . . 

Reflections On The California Recall (capoliticalreview.com)  . . . "California today works primarily for two key Newsom constituencies: unionized public employees and pop culture, tech, and financial leaders. Money from these groups gave Newsom a massive advantage in advertising and organizing. Newsom’s coffers exceeded those of the nearly bankrupt recall campaign and all the prospective candidates combined by almost three to one. The combination of tech IPOs and federal money has also financed massive relief funds for a third Newsom constituency—California’s highest percentage-in-the-nation poor population—allowing the governor to act like a modern-day Boss Tweed.

"This electoral triangle remains too entrenched to dislodge, at least for now. Massive spending secured the votes of disengaged voters, even as the San Francisco Chronicle warned about “an alarming enthusiasm gap” among Democrats. The effort to reach enough of these voters clearly worked."...

Nobody Is Coming to Save California › American Greatness (amgreatness.com) 

. . . "California “conservatives”—whatever that term might mean today—need to abandon our wishful thinking about savior politicians and do the tedious work of politics. That means laboring and building at the local level—beginning in our own neighborhoods. That means not only attending school board and city planning meetings but also running for those seemingly low-level posts because that’s how real candidates for higher office are made. 

"This is not an appeal for milquetoast moderation. Rather, it is an argument for seeing the state as it is and changing course accordingly. Larry Elder wasn’t going to save us. Nobody was ever coming to save us. We can only save ourselves."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Manages to Add More Layers of Blunders to Her Met Gala Stunt

...Only issue, those on the right were not paying daily attention to AOC’s account and reacting the moment she posted pictures of herself in the dress. It was in reaction to the flood of media who were pushing out her appearance and lauding her for her bravery, and raving about what an iconic appearance it had been for her. This is outrage at a reaction, not the initial provocation in the press.. . .

NY Post   "Let’s face it: AOC is a genius. By “genius” I mean “massive talent,” not “extremely smart person.”

"Barbra Streisand is a genius singer, but you wouldn’t want her analyzing your X-rays. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Moscow) may be so dumb she hadn’t heard of John Maynard Keynes’ famous (-ly wrong) prophecy about a 15-hour work week until years after graduating college with an economics degree (and also thought his name was “Milton Keynes”), but she is in a class of her own when she’s doing her job, which is getting people to look at her."...

9-Year Lt. Col Resigns, Takes Biden Down With Him For Being ‘Unethical, Immoral And Tyrannical’

Trending Politics

   . . . "After serving in the United States military for 19 years, US. Army Lieutenant Colonel Paul Douglas Hague resigned from the Army, giving up his pension following President Joe Biden’s authoritarian vaccine mandates, calling them “unethical, immoral and tyrannical.”

“ 'The values that our nation was founded on, has lived by and thrived under, have been utterly decimated by the current presidential administration and the leadership of the military,” and commenting on the “ideologically Marxist takeover of the military and United States government at their upper echelons.”

“ 'First, and foremost, I am incapable of subjecting myself to the unlawful, unethical, immoral and tyrannical order to sit still and allow a serum to be injected into my flesh against my will and better judgment,” Hague said in his resignation letter. “It is impossible for this so-called “vaccine” to have been studied adequately to determine the long-term effects. It simply has not existed for enough time and any claim otherwise is blatantly ignorant and likely an outright lie driven by negligent political agenda. Furthermore, ample studies show that naturally derived immunity based on exposure to the virus offers far superior protection than the mandated “vaccine.””

“ 'I cannot and will not contribute to the fall of this great nation and its people — those very Americans whom I swore to protect the liberty of at all costs,” he added.". . .

Gray Lives Matter

Ann Coulter 

(For my illiterate readers and anyone who gets his news from MSNBC: That makes Lee the opposite of a "traitor." A traitor is someone who pretends to be on your side, while secretly working with the enemy, not someone who loudly announces, I quit. My friends and I are leaving.)

"My ancestors were Presbyterian abolitionists who fought on the Union side, but I get really ticked off when imbeciles take a sledgehammer to my country's history.

"Last week, with self-satisfied glee, savages tore down the 14-foot statue of Robert E. Lee designed by the French sculptor Antonin Mercie and installed in 1890 on land deeded to the state -- in return for a promise that the Commonwealth of Virginia "will hold said Statue and pedestal and Circle of ground perpetually sacred to the Monumental purpose to which they have been devoted and that she will faithfully guard it and affectionately protect it.". . . 

(Here we skip over Coulter's expressed distaste for President Trump - deserved or not. TD)

. . . "But Lee, not Davis, held the hearts of his countrymen. When one of Lee's own officers urged him to lead a guerilla war against the North, Lee remonstrated, "as a Christian people, there is now but one course to pursue. We must accept the situation; these men must go home and plant a crop, and we must proceed to build up our country on a new basis.' " . . .

. . . "The vandalizing of American history has absolutely nothing to do with black people or slavery. Lots of historical figures had slaves. Not only American heroes like Washington and Jefferson, but Kamala Harris' ancestors -- according to her own father. Barack Obama is the only president who might be descended from slave traders, a particularly repellent group, inasmuch as Kenya was a major player in the slave trade." 

Xi owns our top general

 Don Surber:

"Bob Woodward just broke his biggest story since Watergate.

"And he doesn't realize it.

"According to his new anti-Trump book, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff -- General "White Rage" Milley -- had secret phone calls with the Red Chinese army. Milley promised to give Red China a heads up on any military action President Donald John Trump might take.

"Woodward -- who for 50 years has served as a PR man for the intelligence community -- spun this as a failure on Trump's part.

"The Washington Post headline said, "Top general was so fearful Trump might spark war that he made secret calls to his Chinese counterpart, new book says."

"Those secret calls should land him in the stockade for now pending trial.

"Just as the CIA was headed by a communist under Obama, so the Pentagon is run by a communist under Biden. And I expect Chairman Xi paid Milley handsomely.

"Milley works for Red China, not us.

"Hey, remember when Washington made a big deal about General Flynn talking to Russian embassy officials after he retired in preparation for being Trump's national security adviser? Milley committed actual treason.

"The deadly, treasonous quote from Milley to his handler in the book is "If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.'  ". . . 

The faintheartedness of Democrats

The worst part of this hijacking of the 9-11 Memorial by establishment figures is that in the future, it could end up discouraging sensible people from attending, if they're worried that traitorous politicians like Bush could make offensive statements like that again.

DEPLORABLE Bloggers Alliance: What and who led to defeat from a historical perspective in the war against terrorism   "Caroline Glick recently had the following to say about how and why the USA lost the war against jihadists, pointing to past incidents in history within 2 decades that explains quite a bit about why in the long run, the war against terrorism was a failure:

Biden is personally responsible for the humanitarian and strategic disaster unfolding before our eyes. He is the only American leader in history who has willfully abandoned Americans and American allies to their fate behind enemy lines. But while Biden is solely responsible for the decision to leave Afghanistan in the manner it is, it isn’t Biden’s fault that after twenty years of war, the Taliban was still around, stronger than it was on September 11, 2001, and fully capable of seizing control of the country. The foundations of that failure were laid in the days, weeks and months that followed the September 11 attacks.". . . 

Biden Has Never Been Honest About the 'Trump Vaccines' | RealClearPolitics  [It]

 turns out that there was no such “better than Trump” strategy. Biden has done little that Trump was not already doing. The president’s current mandate strategy is a backhanded acknowledgment that the Operation Warp Speed vaccines are the only truly effective weapon against the disease. Biden has one arrow in his quiver – and Trump put it there. Biden’s problem has been that vaccines don’t work unless people take them, and his efforts atpersuasion – his primary responsibility – have been less than stellar.     
"That should come as no surprise. During the campaign, Biden did all he could to ensure that people would not trust what Democrats called the “Trump vaccines.” ...

Biden Unveils 'Your Body, My Choice' Vaccination Program;

  The Babylon Bee; satire

"In a speech today, Joe Biden unveiled a brand new program to force the rest of the country to get vaccinated, entitled "Your Body, My Choice."

" 'Listen folks, make mistake. Uh, make no mistake," said the President, reading carefully off the teleprompter. "I have complete control and sole authority over everything you do with your body, and everything you put in your body. I'm the government for God sakes! I have F-15s and nukes! Jus getha vashine! Jusdoit!"

"Biden then walked out of the room to get a snack. 

"Many concerns remained around issues of freedom and natural immunity, but the President was already eating his applesauce with the crushed-up pills in it and was unable to answer questions.

"Companies will be forced to comply with the mandate until the Supreme Court strikes it down in a few hours."
