Please remain calm. This is not over. It will be investigated and reviewed in the courts for quite some time.
“Nothing has changed on the political front, nothing has changed on the campaign front, the only thing that has changed is on the media front.”
The media does not have the right to call an election. And if it’s determined that Trump is the winner, the media is once again setting the stage for violence and more riots. I can’t even blame people’s naivete anymore. I mean, people do not critically think for themselves and they only listen to what they want to hear, but the media is the entity that warped them. We have GOT to do something about this out-of-control media. They blatantly lie, censor opposing opinions and purposefully broadcast their own agendas and people STILL trust them. It truly amazes me that ANYBODY still listens to anything they have to say anymore. And this includes Fox News.
What a colossal disappointment Fox News has become. That anchor had NO RIGHT, NONE, to call Arizona for Biden before all of the votes came in. Even CNN acknowledged that fact.
Anyway. Social media has gone absolutely crazy with the assumption that Biden has won. Do not let that get you down. It will be days, if not weeks, before this is sorted out and the truth is finally revealed. My advice? Get off social media. Stay away from Twitter. In fact, get off Twitter and Facebook altogether. They are corrupt organizations who exist solely to suppress you. Sorry if that sounds dramatic, but it’s true.
If Trump wins, this is going to be get so ugly. People will feel embarrassed and confused and they will lash out as they only know how to do – with violence. I fear left-leaning folks have not been taught self control and they will lose their minds if that happens. Do not be afraid, but be cautious.
One last thing – have you SEEN the number of people spilling out into the streets across cities all over the country?
There are pictures of people passing bottles of alcohol around to each other as well. Strangers, directly sharing germs.
I guess COVID is over??
Did we not predict COVID would be over if the Democrats won?
You have to see, YOU HAVE TO RECOGNIZE, that we have been set up! This has all be a set up from the first of the year for this very moment in time. The pandemic, the chaos, the mail-in ballots being sent back in weeks before election day.
Please wake up. Please. I don’t know about you, but I don’t appreciate being played a fool.
Anyway. The fat lady hasn’t sung yet. Be patient. Let’s see how this LEGALLY plays out.
ADDED:By the way, I would highly recommend that you start downloading some of these opposing view, or “evidence” videos. YouTube is deleting this stuff left and right. I would also recommend you screen capture Tweets as well because Twitter is also “censoring” this stuff. I’m starting a folder because I can’t trust the media anymore. I want PROOF when shit hits the fan.
I downloaded the 4K downloader to download YouTube Videos. So far, it’s been working pretty well. I ran it through Malware to make sure it didn’t have a hidden virus before installing it on my computer. Anyway. It’s time to compile “evidence.” Just sayin’.
The voting fiasco is taking up too much of my brain space leaving very little room for my characters.
I feel I must talk about this – I need to purge my thoughts and hopefully clean house so that I can focus on writing more fiction – however that looks for me right now. (I’ve come to terms with the fact that I can’t simply stick to my story – I have to go where my creativity leads me – she’s a fickle bitch).
Can you even believe we are where we are right now? Regardless of what party you support, this is a mess. The fact that we still don’t know the outcome, nearly a week later, is mind boggling. I know we had a similar situation with the Bush/Gore race but that was one state, we have SEVERAL states that have not submitted final totals and “mysteriously” keep finding more ballots to add to the count.
Something is definitely going on. And regardless of whether you want Biden to win or not, this nightmare goes way beyond this race. This is potentially setting a precedence for EVERY election and if we allow cheaters, whether it’s on the Republican or Democrat side, voters as individuals will become obsolete. Because if either side can cheat their way to a win, why do they need us? Just fabricate votes and put who you want in the White House or Congress.
And don’t you find it strange that ALL of the votes that have “mysteriously” appeared are for Biden? And why haven’t those same ballots affected the outcome of Congress? You mean to tell me, that the ballots they are finding ONLY marked Biden and NO ONE else?? How strange is that? THOUSANDS of ballots were discovered with only one mark? Hmmm … and if they DIDN’T arrive with only one mark, then wouldn’t those “mysteriously” found ballots affect the outcome of the Congressmen/women and Senate races? How can we definitely call those winners BEFORE these “mysteriously” found ballots have been called? Wouldn’t these “mysteriously” found ballots affect those races too?
And the “news” outlets – we should call them something else because they are no longer “news” organizations – they are propaganda machines, are touting that President Trump has NO evidence to back up his voter fraud claims.
He may not have evidence at this time, but there are enough shenanigans happening that it warrants enough for him and his team to legally investigate. Hell, it’s enough for the American people to demand an answer because again, what good are we if the left and the propaganda machines pick whomever they want in the end anyway? We HAVE to investigate what is going on if not for this election but for elections to come! And you can bet your BOTTOM dollar, if the shoe was on the other foot, Democrats would be going BERSERK trying to get to the bottom of these suspicious activities. Don’t deny it.
Again, it goes beyond this race. I know Trump can be off putting, he gets on my nerves as well, and I don’t necessarily like his presentation but the man gets shit done. He doesn’t simply speak, he DOES. And we need that type of leadership. We don’t need fancy words, flowery phrases and pacification, or someone who flip-flops on issues DAILY depending on the audience he/she is speaking to. We need someone in the White House who will put the people before politics. That’s why we need someone like Trump. Biden is a puppet. And puppets can be manipulated and made to perform for whatever audience will pay the most.
Biden will destroy this country. Or at least, he will try. Thank God Republicans kept the Senate and we gained some seats in the House – if nothing else, he will propose crap and it will filibuster. But again, NOTHING will get done – we’ll continue to kick the can down the road and the next Trump-like person, if anyone is brave enough to endure the shit storm from the propaganda machines, to deal with.
I don’t know, I want it to be over, as well. But I want a fair election ALL elections moving forward, too. If we don’t put a foot on the neck of this deceit now, it will only get worse in the years ahead.
Here’s why it’s acceptable to be concerned about this election:
This race is extremely close. In some states, it comes down to 1% and that alone justifies counting the votes again.
Record number of mail-in ballots – there’s never been anything like it. We should ONLY allow voting ON election day – you vote when polls open, you stop voting when polls close – PERIOD. (Except for active military who are not even on American soil and for those with a REALLY good excuse to not be able to make it to their polling site on the day of election. And I mean really good reason. You know when an election is for YEARS, if you can’t plan to be available on voting day then too bad so sad. Plan ahead). And conspiracy theory or not, it’s suspicious that Democrats fought hard to promote mail-in ballots all in the name of “safety” before the election. They were gearing this up to use in case the election didn’t go their way and VOILA! Here we are. How convenient for them.
States keep “finding” ballots. Windows are papered over not allowing court-appointed ballot watchers to monitor the count. If there is nothing to hide, then why hide?? There are documented software glitches in Michigan, more than 40 counties used this software – pretty sure that justifies recounting the votes. My sister-in-law sent Kevin a link to a video showing this on YouTube – guess what, that video is no longer available. Hell yes this is suspicious. (And that’s ANOTHER alarming trend – censorship!)
North Carolina won’t update total vote count until next week. What is going on? Are they taking a Sabbatical to contemplate life?? Why?
Pennsylvania – allowing ballots to arrive three days AFTER the election – even if they’re not clearly marked before the deadline. These officials are openly rooting for Biden, they’re not even trying to hide it – think they are fair and unbiased? I would wager not. It looks like they’re determined to make Biden win no matter what. Is that not a reason to at least suspect something is not right? Of course there is.
Count very vote and make sure it’s legal. Throw illegally obtained votes out. Period.
Here are some more things that make you go Hmmmmmmmm…
These things, if nothing else, call for recounts. And again, if the rolls were reversed, Democrats would be RIOTING for a recount. Don’t deny it. And honestly, if the rolls were reversed and there was this much suspicion, I would also think it’s fair to recount. I want a president who won fair and square, regardless of the outcome. If Biden wins, he will win because he cheated. What a legacy!
It’s no secret I’m NO Biden fan. And the thought of him being the president (notice I didn’t say MY president), worries me. I’m trying not to freak out and don’t worry, I won’t be one of these emotionally-stunted crazy people who falls to my knees and screams to the sky if Biden is confirmed, but his agendas worry me. I don’t want to rely on another country for oil. I don’t want socialism. I don’t want to give over half my paycheck to government programs that exist solely to make people dependent on the government. And I want a president who will be strong, not one who will kowtow to dictators and lick their boots all in the name of “please don’t hurt us, Mr. Bad guy!” However, if that is what happens, then that is what happens. I am encouraged by the fact that we have the Senate and enough House members to (hopefully) keep the crazy in check. And it’s only for four years, I hope. And I hope whoever our Republican candidate is in 2024 is strong and determined to uphold the constitution.
I also have my faith. And I trust God and take great comfort in knowing that He’s there.
I don’t mean to offend anyone reading this and I’m not referring to “normal” Democrats because I feel like the Democrat party today doesn’t even really represent “true” Democrat ideals nowadays, but I feel like the Democrat party has become a cult. Group think. And any time they are provided with an opposing viewpoint it’s like they short circuit and lose their minds because how dare you not agree with me?!
We have reached a very scary place in our history, folks. And according to the Bible, this is just the beginning. I shudder to think what our country will look like when our grandkids are in their 50’s. If we have grandkids, but you know what I mean. Our society is slowly circling the drain and before long the sink will be empty and we will cease to exist – at least, as we know now.
Wow. What a dark way to end this. lol But honestly. We live in dark times and there is a section of our population that are determined to keep it dark and hopeless. It doesn’t have to be that way. But we have to be strong and have the bravado to stand up for what is right, no matter the screaming, the accusations and the manipulation.
Whatever happens, this is a set back, no matter who wins. Keep your eyes on the prize (which for me is peace) and ignore the chaos that surrounds you. It’s all we can do right now.
This is a really good break down of the Biden-Harris campaign ad about Equity vs Equality. On the surface, it sounds great, as most of Liberal philosophy initially sounds “Yeah! Equality for all!”, but as usual, when you scratch the surface and start asking questions, the meaning is in fact, not well intentioned, and in fact, sounds like a scary place to end up.
How was your election day? Did you vote? Did you have a hard time voting? I know when I was getting ready for work this morning I heard on the radio that there were traffic jams and lines not only out the door, but along the building and down the street. That was before work. I don’t know what it looked like after work.
I was actually able to vote at the hospital. That was nice. It was nice not to have to leave campus and stand in line for an hour. But I was surprised at how long the lines were that I stood in. It was encouraging to see so many people take time out of their days to vote.
I was proud to hear our oldest son Blake voted. I don’t know if our youngest voted or not, I haven’t heard from him.
I tell you though, I’m SO ready for this election to be over. I know you probably feel the same. It’s been a brutal year with COVID and the riots but the crazy that came with the election drama was nearly too much.
Oh 2020, when will you be over??
By the way, did you guys know that a meteor came close to Earth on 11-2-20? I mean … why not!? I’m sure we’ll be visited by the zombie apocalypse will be next. In fact, Kevin, who is a numbers guy, text me: “Hi. The meteorite didn’t hit today at 8;33 AM so I guess we are going to have to vote after all. It was a .41% chance of it hitting the Earth. So, in other words, you are about seven times more likely to die of getting hit by a meteorite than by dying from the virus.”
Ha! Nothing like math to bring things into perspective!
Anyway. I’m sitting here now, too scared to watch any of the election coverage. It just stresses me out. I know life will continue as normal no matter who wins but I can’t help thinking how it will change, again, depending on who wins. Will we be better off? Or will we have to fight tooth and nail for every right we still retain? Will people even WANT to fight to retain our rights? I feel like people are giving up. I know we were a punching bag to a big, bad 2020 bitch, but we can’t give up! We have to keep fighting the good fight.
Or the bad fight, again, depending on who wins.
Let’s change the subject – I can’t think about the election anymore tonight. All I can do is pray that we keep Trump in the office four more years.
I’m tired. Like bone tired. It’s because I’m so focused on writing and increasing my word count I’ve been staying up too late. And I really need to get to bed early tonight because I’m in clinic with my doctor tomorrow and I’m in clinic with another doctor on Thursday and when I’m in clinic, I feel like I need all of my mental capacities.
We’re still doing Telemedicine, by the way. We haven’t stopped doing Telemedicine. I don’t think Telemedicine is going away any time soon, to be honest. My doctor LOVES it and to be fair, I think a lot of patients are digging it. It took a little getting used to at first, and I still run into people who are flat out against Telemedicine or who can’t participate for whatever reason but I think people are starting to get used to the new normal.
And that’s really the theme of 2020, don’t you think: Finding our new normal. I hate that phrase though. I feel like finding our new normal is not usually a positive thing and God knows, I don’t want to make wearing masks our new normal, but I’m afraid that’s where we’re heading. I can’t tell you the number of times I forget my mask at work and when I realize my face is naked, I feel embarrassed and exposed. I get a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when I forget to wear my mask. It’s so commonplace now I’ve forgotten what some of my coworkers look like without a mask! How sad is that??
But life is starting to settle down at work. We have indeed found our new normal and we’re pretty much back up to full capacity as far as seeing patients and doing surgeries. Our volume is still not all the way back though. Usually, by this time of the year, by the end of the year, we are scrambling to find places for people on our schedules because people want to get in before the end of the year in order to meet their deductible. But not this year. Our schedules are spotty at best.
Speaking of meeting deductibles: Kevin was looking over my work benefits and it looks like our insurance is going to change the date on our yearly cycle. For example, our deductible won’t start over at the first of the year, but in fact, in April. I think this is a great idea because if we stagger everyone’s “end-of-year” deductible resets that will prevent bottle necks of people wanting to do whatever before their insurance resets.
Oh, and speaking of deductibles, our premiums are going up, again. You would think I would have great benefits working at a hospital but that’s not really true. I mean, it’s not terrible but it’s not as great as you would think. I guess I should just be thankful that we have insurance. Hell, I’m grateful I still have a job, considering the environment we live in now.
My team is throwing a luncheon to celebrate PA week, MA week and my birthday. It was a weird time for all of us and now that the dust is settling, we are playing catch up. I spent a considerable amount of time on the doctor’s schedule, re-arranging people so we could carve out an hour so we could all eat together. It’s a lot of work, but we really enjoy being able to stop, break bread together, and have some laughs. I brings us closer together as a team and recharges us a bit.
Sorry, I realize I’m rambling. I’m seriously half brain dead right now and I can feel my eyes at half mast. I really need to go to bed early tonight but I’m about 500 words shy of making my goal for today so I’ll trudge onward.
What else can I talk about? What else is going on in the world right now besides the obvious?
Oh. Just read that Trump won the state of Florida and 29 electoral votes. I really hope he wins Wisconsin and California. Those are traditionally Blue states and it would be very satisfying, especially with California, if he won those states.
What the actual hell …
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) released new guidance over the weekend explaining that voters who have tested positive for COVID-19 can still exercise their right to vote, even if they are currently sick or are undergoing quarantine.
“CDC’s recommendations for isolating someone who has Covid-19 or quarantining someone who was in close contact with a person with Covid-19 would not preclude them from exercising their right to vote,” a CDC spokesperson told CNN in an email Monday. Source
We live in madness, folks. Complete madness. I guess COVID is taking a break so people can get out and vote but as soon as this is over, GO BACK INTO HIDING BECAUSE COVID WILL GET YOU.
Gads. I can even roll my eyes hard enough at the sheer stupidity.
Okay, uncle, I need to get some sleep.
__________________________________________
(The next morning)
Well. I’m at a loss for words. As of this writing, Biden has more electoral votes than Trump. There are still some states that haven’t finished counting votes, so there’s still hope as it’s a very close race but I can’t help but be discouraged. I will not, however, turn into one of these lunatic people you see recording themselves having a screaming fit because they didn’t get their way, but I’m not going to lie, I’m disappointed and worried. I honestly thought, in my heart of heart, that Trump would win by a landslide. And if you look at the breakdown of states Trump won the midwest and Biden won the coastal states. That’s not surprising.
I’m going to go to work now and distract myself with that and … well, I guess life goes on, right?
The thought of another lockdown makes me physically sick.
If you haven’t heard, France, Germany and I think Belgium is locking down for a 2nd time. It’s because the number of COVID cases has risen substantially. And hospital admissions have gone up.
Here’s the thing …
So what?
I don’t mean to sound callous, that is not my intention, but COVID is not going away. Neither is the common cold or the flu. It’s something we must live with and thankfully, thank GOD, contracting COVID doesn’t mean a death sentence for most people, in fact 99.9% of people fully recover.
But when the media reports on such-and-such number I think people automatically assume that means deaths. No. That means these people test positive for the illness, it doesn’t mean they have died or are going to die. The numbers are not great. But I’m betting the numbers for cancer, heart disease, pneumonia are not great, either. It’s another sickness that we must learn to adapt to and live with, unfortunately.
I get why these governments are locking down, especially if the hospitals are close to capacity, but instead of shutting everything down, how about we erect temporary units to house the overflow? Because hiding from this thing only prolongs the inevitable – IT’S. NOT. GOING. AWAY.
I even talked to a patient the other day who said he has had COVID twice. Apparently, there are six strands of COVID, so it’s possible to get this thing again. So logically, does it make sense to hide from six different monsters? Eventually, you’re going to be caught. And since it’s not as deadly, overall, as the “experts” first thought it was, how about we go about living our lives and allow this thing to burn off? Why must we disrupt people’s lives again?!
And I want to know who the hell is testing for COVID? It annoys me when I hear on the radio a call to action – “come to the fairgrounds and be tested for COVID – FOR FREE!” What? Why? Are you curious? If you feel sick, stay home. Why must anyone test for COVID? The only time I understand being tested for COVID is if you’re gearing up for surgery, or you’re sick and your doctor recommends it. Who are all of these people getting tested?? To me, it sounds like this: “Come on down and get tested for COVID! Our numbers are down and we must get them up so we can continue scaring the crap out of people and we need to keep this momentum going so that we can more easily control them.”
That’s what I hear whenever I hear announcements about “free” testing. I just don’t get people going to a drive-in testing spot to be tested. I’m not that curious, thanks.
I hope I’ve had it. I want to have had it so that I can go about my business. But unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way.
It’s likely a matter of time before someone from our clinic gets COVID. Actually, that’s not true. We’ve already had a few people in my clinic come down with the virus. They stayed home and they are back to work.
As with any sickness, it sucks and no one wants to be down and out but being sick is part of being alive. I don’t understand our unwillingness to just treat COVID like we do the flu. Be careful. Wash your hands. Don’t touch your face when you’re out. Stay away from people who are hacking out a lung or sneezing. We should all be doing these things anyway. COVID is really not that special. Not now. And again, I’m grateful for that. But we need to stop thinking of COVID as a death sentence. It’s no more a death sentence than coming down with the flu. Here is what to look out for:
Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:
Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
Look for emergency warning signs for COVID-19. If someone is showing any of these signs, seek emergency medical care immediately:
Trouble breathing
Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
New confusion
Inability to wake or stay awake
Bluish lips or face
Sound familiar?? That could literally apply to any other disease out there. Now, if it was common to bleed from your eyeballs or you were expected to die within 24 hours of contracting it, we would be having a vastly different conversation, but those are not the symptoms. We are destroying ourselves for THIS??
France has gotten so strict with this new lockdown that you must present a certificate of permission to leave your house.
Dude, what the hell?! Who wants to live like that?? Well actually, most of the French people don’t want to live like that, as a matter of fact. And they were so anxious to leave the city after the announcement that traffic was blocked and backed up for 400 miles. People were rushing around getting their haircut because hair dressers, once again, will be not allowed to operate. And the stores were ransacked because people once again went to the stores in a panic to buy toilet paper. Which sounds stupid on the surface but dude, if you have to have a certificate to present to the police, if stopped and questioned and you want to avoid jail time or a fine, I would be buying toilet paper, too, because who knows when you’ll have permission from the almighty government to go out and get more.
This is madness. I don’t know what else to call it. We have crossed over the threshold and are now living in the Twilight Zone.
And you can bet your bottom dollar if Biden wins, America will be implementing the same Draconian measures as the French have done.
“Vigano wrote a letter to Trump in May warning that the COVID-19 pandemic was being used to user in a “world government” stripping people of their freedoms. We see heads of nations and religious leaders pandering to this suicide of Western culture and its Christian soul, while the fundamental rights of citizens and believers are denied in the name of a health emergency that is revealing itself more and more fully as instrumental to the establishment of inhuman, faceless tyranny, Vigano wrote.” Source
In other words, Vigano is saying that government leaders, from all over the globe, are using this pandemic as an excuse to get rid of capitalism and to implement a world government. And they are continuing to use fear to manipulate people into submission. It’s sick and wrong and it frustrates me that we the people have been reduced to a rat running a maze waiting for the next buzzer to train us how to react and where to go.
It must stop.
I don’t know the political climate enough to give advice to France but here in America, we have to start putting our foot down. Stand up and say NO MORE. Stop allowing these power-hungry politicians to dictate our lives. COVID is not that bad – again THANK GOD – but we know enough about it now to learn to live with it and combat it if it happens to come knocking on our door. Hiding from it and living in fear does nothing but destroy us. And for what?? The virus remains and will continue to remain for quite some time.<
It’s not going away any time soon.
I don’t say that to frighten anyone but we have to face facts.
And Dr. Fauci says the first vaccine will not kill the virus, it will only prevent symptoms. Again, let’s be realistic about this. The flu vaccine? It doesn’t kill the virus, it simply tricks your body into thinking it’s already had it so if you’re exposed, the symptoms you experience will be minimal.
The same thing with COVID.
And by the way, I know Dr. Fauci is simply doing his job but I’m OVER his continued fear mongering. Give it a rest, Fauci.
Again, GOOD NEWS. And that 88,500 record number of cases are CASES, NOT DEATHS. I really think that is what people are seeing when they see headlines like that. And the death rate going down makes sense to me because we know more about the disease and we have medications for treatment.
Let’s take a breath and stop allowing the media to scare the bejeebus out of us.
And if you want to wear a mask, wear a mask. I don’t care. However, again, what’s the objective here?
If not, why not? I know it’s terribly time consuming. I watched the second day of hearings, (I’d like to make time to watch the first day), and it took me three days to get through it all – it was an eleven-hour YouTube video after all. And I know it’s terribly boring for a lot of people out there – all of questions, exaggerations, speeches, pleas, disappointment and most of all, legalese that most people don’t understand – myself included.
And yet, I couldn’t look away. I was transfixed to the hearings. It was utterly fascinating to me. And when I asked myself why I thought it was so interesting, I think it came down to a few things: 1. I’ve always been interested in the law – I think my ideal career would have been a law clerk or a paralegal. I love research, I love language and I love to write. So listening to Judge Amy Barrett speak with precision, confidence and watching her exude utter confidence was fascinating to me. 2. Watching and listening to the various senators ask questions or opine on their hot button topics was eye opening. Watching the two sides alternate speaking and confronting Judge Barrett was an excellent example of how the two sides think and approach their beliefs.
The right was methodical, kind and understanding that the Judge could not offer a hypothetical opinion on a “what if” scenario. It would have violated an oath that active judges must take when they occupy a bench. They focused more on the laws and asked her to explain the laws, in layman terms, so that the rest of us poor saps could attempt to follow along. They highlighted what a judge’s responsibilities are and the steps she would take to dissect and opine on a case. They wanted to show viewers that the role of judges is not to make or break policies, but to interpret and enforce laws that Congress make. If we want laws changed, then we must appeal to our elected officials – yet another reason it’s important for people to be engaged in politics and/or at least be aware of what is happening with our country.
The challenge, of course, is to wade through the rhetoric and the muck in order to FIND the core of the issue being debated.
The left tried, repeatedly, to trick the judge into being inconsistent with her answers and they were terribly frustrated because she wouldn’t commit to being pro-life/choice, to expressing an interest in overturning the American Care Act (Obamacare), or repeal same-sex marriage. They kept emphasizing, “but laws effect people and people are important. Don’t you care that this gay couple could lose their marital benefits? Or what about a woman’s right to do as she wishes with her body? Or what about the MILLIONS of Americans that will lose their health insurance if you take the ACA away? [They won’t, by the way] Don’t you CARE what happens to these individuals? Don’t you CARE about these posters we have presented to you in an attempt to evoke empathy and appeal to your pathos? Are you that cold blooded that you would make these poor people suffer?”
Though I understand where the left is coming from, the laws do affect millions of people, in all walks of life, and when the laws are made, they should absolutely be considered and helped in any way they can, people should also be allowed to live their life however they choose to live it, God granted us free will after all, but, that is NOT the role of a supreme court justice. The role of a supreme court justice is to UPHOLD THE LAW. And let’s not forget, CONGRESS makes those laws. So if CONGRESS wants to change those laws, then CONGRESS will have to make those changes.
The supreme court justice simply dissects those laws and makes rulings on the expressed meaning of those laws in cases of a dispute. Either the left doesn’t understand that concept and/or, more likely, they understand they just don’t care enough to follow those guidelines and instead, used their uninterrupted time to make an impassioned speech to the American people to try and further push their own agendas.
It’s not really about the law with the left, it’s about ensuring their agendas are massaged and allowed to grow allowing them the opportunity to control large groups of people to make sure they vote for them the next go around so they can push more agendas and continue manipulating even more groups of people who have neither taken the time, nor have been educated enough, to see through their lies.
I’m not saying there are not people on the right who do the same thing, but it’s the exception, not the rule, with the right.
Senators on the committee were allowed thirty minutes to either grandstand their agendas (i.e. the left – because when you watch the Liberal senator sessions they didn’t actually ask Judge Barrett very many questions but spent most of their time quoting the nasty Republicans and putting up posters of gay people), or ask questions. Senator Ted Cruz had one of the more impressive speeches of the bunch.
Granted, he is not asking Judge Barrett very many questions here, he spends most of his time responding to the idiocy of the Democrat Senators’ claims, and that was par for the course throughout most of the hearings. One senator would make his/her speech, and then the senator on the other side of the aisle would dispute and or “fact check” what previous senators claimed. It was interesting to see them debate THROUGH the hearings.
At any rate, I was moved by his speech and thought I would share it.
As far as Judge Barrett herself. I can not imagine the patience and control it must have taken to endure these hearings. She remained completely poised and steadfast in her beliefs and answers. She was impressive to watch. She is clearly highly intelligent and intimately knows the law. She was clearly an excellent law professor as she was very thorough in her explanations of what the law is and how it’s intended to be applied.
I think Judge Barrett should be what little girls aspire to be when they grow up as opposed to wanting to be Beyonce or Kim K. THIS is an example of feminism at it’s best.
I know a lot of people feel like the orange man currently running our country is bad, and though I intend to vote for him, I appreciate the fact that he is willing to be criticized and crucified by the media in order to get things done and make tough decisions. True, Trump is not the most eloquent speaker and he could use a large dose of diplomacy, however, I appreciate his toughness. He’s a New Yorker, so take what he says with a grain of salt. New Yorkers are brusque and sometimes rude in their presentation, but Trump is refreshing in the fact that he doesn’t play politics as usual. This, of course, drives the radical leftists and the media crazy because they are used to the right kowtowing to their thinly veiled hatred for all things constitution and how DARE someone backtalk them and/or display a backbone when they are criticizing Republicans and slashing the “antiquated” Bill of Rights.
I agree with D’Souza – the game has changed. Republicans can not approach politics the same way anymore. The rules have changed in that, there are no rules anymore. The left will spew and lie about anything and everything they can because they are desperate to regain the mindless control of the people like they had when Obama was in office. Now, people are starting to wake up and realize, the radical left is all smoke and mirrors. There is no substance to their “ideals or beliefs.” This is evidenced by the fact that NO ONE can tell you what they stand for, what policies they want to implement or how they would implement these phantom policies. And that’s primarily because they want a socialist country – they want to control everything and everyone but they haven’t quite figured out how to relay that agenda to the American people without coming right out and saying it. Which they can’t, because there are still enough red/white/blue Americans out there that DON’T want that for our country …. yet. So instead, they focus on pointing out how racist and evil Donald Trump is. The kicker is, they do it without providing evidence of these claims and people, being the sheeple they are, gobble it right up.
If the Republicans want to win and/or take/regain control, they have to fight back. I’m not saying stoop as low as the Democrats but they definitely have to stop allowing the left to walk all over them. They have to stand up and provide examples of the Left’s hypocrisy. Which shouldn’t be too hard to do as most leftists change their stances as often as they chance their underwear. Republicans must be the adults in the room. They must be strong, firm and calm and stop worrying about if they are perceived as “mean.” When you’re dealing with toddlers, SOMEONE has to be the adult in the situation.
Step up, Republicans. Take a lesson from Trump and fight back. He has been doing it for four years and that’s the reason the silent majority backs him, because he’s not afraid to stand up and fight for what’s right . It’s time to take the kid gloves off and give tit-for-tat.
“Police officers have become the targets of violent activists who are seeking to upend America as we know it. Heather Mac Donald, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and author of The War on Cops, is in the studio this week to break down the myths behind “systemic racism” and “police brutality.”
By the way, I have a serious girl crush on Candace Owens. Just sayin’.
We HAVE to stop this violence. We HAVE to stop this narrative that is tearing our country apart. There is talk of another Civil War. And for what? Do YOU even know the whole story? Take a listen and decide for yourself. There is ALWAYS two sides to a story. Always.
