Midterms 2022 aftermath....musings

 This is what we expected......

well, this is what happened.....

    Needless to say I and many others were massively disappointing....I got excited about the election and I got the same feeling after the 2020 election....the second time I was wrong in guessing and surmising an election.  Normally I am pretty good about anticipating elections and i was right about everyone since 1984 but my streak was broken in 2020 and again in 2022.

 

     I will go by several states....First off in my Home state, with the exception of the Walker/Warnock which is going to a runoff, We elected Republicans in the State offices, Brian Kemp defeated the Hollywood Darling Stacey Abrams for the 2nd time and this time the margin wasn't razer thin and Stacey had to concede unlike last time and despite spending boucoup dollars, most of it from out of state, she was defeated.  Apparently most of the voters were happy in how he handled the covid crisis and ran the state.  Unfortunately a lot of that support didn't translate for Walker, the attack ads on Walker about his domestic issues were pounded in and reinforced with a lot of money from out of state because the donks knew that control of the senate was vital.  Same with all the other State offices went GOP except in heavy Donk areas.

In the Sunshine State Tuesday evening, Gov. Ron DeSantis cruised to a second term with an astounding near-20-point margin of victory over former Gov. Charlie Crist, and Sen. Marco Rubio routed challenger Rep. Val Demings by over 16 points. Both DeSantis and Rubio won the state's most populous county, 70-plus percent Hispanic Miami-Dade County -- DeSantis by double digits. Both Republican standard-bearers also won majority-Hispanic Osceola County, in the Orlando area, and DeSantis also flipped Palm Beach County from blue to red.

All other Florida Republicans running statewide also won, and Republicans also secured supermajority status in both the State Senate and the State House. U.S. congressional races in Florida that were labeled before the election as toss-ups, such as the 13th and 27th congressional districts, uniformly broke for Republicans -- and often not in a particularly close fashion. Some other states, such as Texas and Iowa, also had good election nights for Republicans; but in no state did the GOP perform better, up and down the ballot, than in Florida.

All of this is simply astonishing from Florida the one-time paradigmatic "swing" state that famously decided the 2000 presidential election by a paltry 537 votes out of nearly 6 million casts. Indeed, just four years ago, DeSantis himself eked out his first statewide victory over Democrat Andrew Gillum by a margin of 0.4%. And DeSantis' victory over Gillum was not even the closest statewide race in Florida that cycle; Rick Scott won his U.S. Senate race over Bill Nelson that same year by a microscopic 0.12% margin.

   And in Texas, Governor Abbott Thumped Soyboi Beto again.....I think this is the 3rd election Beto has lost, I think the Liberals in California ain't getting their bang for the buck with him.

        The dissection of the election has already begun, the GOP is trying to figure what the hell happened, I surmise part of it is that the Donks were successful in tying abortion to all the GOP candidates where the message from the GOP candidates were
it was returned to the States where it belongs after Roe vs Wade got overturned, but the democrats used soundbites and the lack of civics in school to scare the crap out of people especially the women who were told by all the social media that the coathangers were coming for them.  Also a lot of the younger people get their stuff from Toktok and other social media platforms and the GOP flat out don't have a lot of influence in a lot of social media platforms and it doesn't help that they are locked out and restricted on them.  

 It didn't help the cause that some of the candidates that Former President Trump supported were not the best candidates and the Democrats and the Media were able to tie him to the GOP during the 2022 election cycle.  Sure he can draw the crowds, but to win elections, you have to get the middle of the road people and a lot of them don't like President Trump despite the record crime and inflation and supply problems, the democrats and media were able to mask the stench of their own turds by shoving President Trump in a not favorable light repeatedly to the moderates and this turned them off.  

       The Ramifications are that the Donks hold the Senate, and Congress is divided, and this will slow but not stop Xidens agenda,  he and his handlers will still push more of the "Climate Change:, we will continue to have supply chain disruptions, record inflation and more crime as the soft on crime Soros supporting DA's continue to do "Catch and release" as they let criminals out to prey on citizens, but the DA's will go after the same citizens for defending themselves because the criminals are a means to an end, if a people don't have a means to defend themselves, then they have to depend on the government for protection and security and those of us that know history know what eventually happens.

   The media is already pushing the new "Covid Subvariant" with the donks holding the senate, it is easier for them to push their restrictions .....again.....there are no elections until 2024 and the democrats have figured the formula to win....and I believe that voting irregularities happened, especially in Arizona and Pennsylvania and Michigan.  I can see the power hungry donks flexing their muscles and punishing those dastardly voters that dared to challenge the power of the state.

 Meanwhile the democrats will be embolden because the asskicking they were expecting to get didn't materialize so they are embolden and double down on the foolishness that created all the problems we are dealing with right now.

      What will we get in 2024? probably more of the same with the same "irregularities" we saw in this election with the same playbook because it worked in 2020 and 2022, the donks will refine it for 2024. 

 

 

 

 

Voting Day After

 I will post tomorrow my impressions of the 2022 elections......I want to see what settles first and see what other races are called  before I make any comments......

      Today is Election Day, This election is very important, it is the last chance to stop Xiden, if we don't get both houses, the Donks can still push their agenda,   Now Vote. 

 

                                      I used this pic on 2020

                                                         (November 8th)
                                                     If you don't vote, don't bitch. 

P.S.   How in the hell did that vegetable in PA get elected? especially since he is more incoherent than Xiden?

Some Musings........and Rants

 

The 2022 Election is almost here, and after 2 years of democratic control, we have massive inflation, massive crime spikes due to the soft on crime policies of the Soros funded DA's.  We have huge spikes in fuel prices, we have had "supply chain" disruptions...or basically a lot of stuff that people expect to see in the grocery store isn't there. We have had draconian lockdowns and .gov in the CDC and other government officials working hand in hand with the democrats to help the democrats grab power and hold power all in the name of "The Public Good" and well after 2 years of chaos, the Normies are pissed and there is a huge electoral bloodbath expected where the donks are expected to lose both the House and Senate.  The Normies, most that are apolitical are angry that their regular world has been so disrupted by the shameless powerplay of the democrats and they intend to punish the donks at the polls.  But to me and many others there is a concern that they will cheat and be so obvious about it since they got away with it in 2020 they will do it again knowing that it don't matter anymore and that they plan on staying in power no matter what.

   I recently closed my Paypal account That I had since 2004,  I had used it with my EBAY account. Apparently Paypal decided to go "Woke" and "Penalize"people $2500 for "Misinformation", and I and many others have closed our accounts.  I had major concerns because my paypal was attached to my Checking account and has been for many years and having PayPal arbitrarily deciding to be the arbiter of what is right or wrong didn't sit well with me and I didn't want them see something on my social media and "fining" me $2500.00 because I said something that some woke scold in Paypal found "Offensive" and nail me for that money to punish me for "Wrongthink" and hitting my checking account, so I killed it.  Apparently it has made an affect, Payal was at $95 dollars a share, until this broke, and when I killed my account, it was down to $83 (now as of 11/05/22, it was $75)  Hey "FAFO"

Elon Musk Officially over Twitter and the people on the left side of the aisle have lost their mind, for years they controlled twitter, it was one big echo chamber and anybody that wasn't a "blue Checked leftist" was pretty much shouted down and buried.A lot of conservatives including President Trump had their account permanently banned.  Well Elon Musk has started laying or firing people at Twitter and the gnashing of teeth is glorious to see. 

        We on the conservative side have been making comments like that "They can mine coal" or something along that line after the wokescold being sanctimonious when Xiden started shutting down the energy sector putting thousands of people out of work and the comments on twitter was "They can learn Code" well the twitterites can learn to mine coal...or there are other employment opportunities for them....

 Meanwhile back to the Vaccine front, Apparently the Donk infected CDC has published their recommendations for vaccinations for children including all the covid vaxx including the boosters..

A lot of parents have adopted the "not no but Hell NO" attitude, but the School Boards and Teachers Unions are trying to link this with a health crisis and stating if your kid don't have the VAXX then they can't attend school, and in the blue areas this is getting a lot of traction, but in the red states there is a lot of pushback, I am glad that my son has graduated.

 

 

Apparently "The Atlantic published a Covid Amnesty Story"

Ms. Oster cites school closures as one example: “There is an emerging (if not universal) consensus that schools in the U.S. were closed for too long: The health risks of in-school spread were relatively low, whereas the costs to students’ well-being and educational progress were high.” (In the summer and fall of 2020, Ms. Oster herself favored opening schools.)

However, she adds, “in spring and summer 2020, we had only glimmers of information. Reasonable people—people who cared about children and teachers—advocated on both sides of the reopening debate.”

That’s awfully generous to Team Shutdown, which included all of the progressive great and good and nearly all of the media. Yet it was clear by summer 2020 that children were at extremely low risk for severe illness. They were also struggling with remote learning, as were their parents. All efforts should have been made to reopen schools, as Florida did in August 2020, and to keep them open.

But the teachers’ unions lobbied hard to keep them closed and succeeded in far too many places where they dominate local and state politics. Many big city school districts didn’t reopen until spring 2021. Chicago didn’t offer full in-person learning until last fall. The results in lost learning have been catastrophic.

Ms. Oster pardons Ms. Weingarten(The Teachers Union President) because “on every topic, someone was eventually proved right, and someone else was proved wrong” and “in some instances, the right people were right for the wrong reasons.” You can guess who the right people are.

This plea for forgiveness would be more plausible if the shutdown lobby had shown more willingness during the pandemic to listen to other arguments that proved to be right. Instead they dismissed and tried to discredit the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration who argued for focused protection of the most vulnerable while opening schools. Tech platforms censored them.

Ms. Oster says “most errors were made by people who were working in earnest for the good of society.” But the teachers unions intentionally misled the public by hyping the virus risks for children. They did this to extort more money from Congress to “safely reopen” and compensate for learning losses from the shutdowns. Democrats gave them $122 billion last March, only about 15% of which was spent during the 2021-22 school year.

“Getting something wrong wasn’t a moral failing,” Ms. Oster writes. But in Ms. Weingarten’s case, it was.

One certainty: The left will never forgive the shutdown dissenters, notably Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for being right.

 

       I recall being threatened with my job if I didn't get "The JAB", The social pressure to get "The JAB was unreal, from the media, from my friends, from everywhere,"Get the Jab" or you are subhuman scum that wants children and old people to die", kinda crap.  There was talk about stripping me of my rights, putting me in a camp with "Others of my ilk so we can infect each other like lepers" as the left raged on twitter and other social media post.  The holier than thou crap I dealt with for 2+ years getting sneered down and being treated like crap because I wouldn't take the Jab.  I have lost friends and colleagues over this.  My wife and son were treated like 2nd class citizens because of the "CovidKarens" and their behavior.

    Thats pretty much my attitude, I have the "I want Tribunals" forgive and forget is really hard right now, these are the people that shut down schools, businesses, locked up people for walking in the parks, and going to churches but allowed protest if they were of the certain political persuasion(Democrat) let cities burn, forced the police to back off thereby letting citizens to fend for themselves and a lot of people got killed and hurt. We went from Energy independence to Xiden begging the Saudi's to increase fuel production before the 2022 election hoping to postpone the expected electoral bloodletting that is expected after the nitwit shut down production in this country to appease his clueless base.  We have had criminals have a free reign because of the soft on crime policies of the Donk mayors and D.A's, We have had parents called "extremist" for opposing "CRT" and race based theory in their schools and the Xiden Dept of Justice sent the FBI to intimidate parents rather on criminals.  We have had a huge illegal groups swarming the border bringing a lot of fentanyl pushed by the cartels with them contributing to the opioid crisis Middle America is dealing with.

 

I can go on and on but the point is that the "normies" are pissed.  They had their parents die alone and all they got was "Tiktok" videos about how great the Medical was...unless you refused to get the VAXX then they fired you too and a lot of Dr's and nurses refuses to VAXX up and got unemployed and now are contract workers as the medical field tries to recover from the short sighted policies of Fauci and his ilk that for political expediency shut down the hottest economy in 30 years to try to push "Orange Man Bad" out of office.

Now they want amnesty...Like I said.....I am having a hard time being forgiving after the hell I and my family and friends went through for the past 2+ years.

The 2022 election is almost here, and there is a lot of concerns, I believe that if the election is fair, that the Donks will lose their ass, but they have no compunction about stealing and cheating, it is in their DNA to cheat because it is all about power and there is another concern...

      Democrats tend to have temper tantrums when they lose.....when they win, they are entitled jerks and rub it in the faces and go on power trips like we saw for the past 2 years.  Unless they cheat massively and I think this is likely they will get their clocks cleaned in 2022.  Voting is sacrosanct, it is the safety valve of our system, if they keep tampering with it to ensure their "Victory" people will no longer participate and start finding other ways to show their displeasure and that isn't good because "peaceful disobedience" only seems to work for the donks, if we use it we are extremist and have to be locked up and if you call someone something all the time, they become what they are accused of.
