My Uniter President Called Me A Fascist Today. Can't Trust Anything Government/Media Related. Hanson and I Agree. J Street/Soros. Dershowitz. More.

Dufus pulled off a Hillary today and called me a fascist because I believe he is not a uniter, his policies suck and everything he touches he screws up and/or makes worse.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Will The Republicans Really Win Back The Congress

Preempt left-wing vote harvesting to achieve the blowout

The late spring scenario of a massive GOP win — in historic proportions analogous to 1938, 1994, or 2010 — is said now to be “iffy.”

The Left boasts that it now has a chance at keeping the House, with even better odds for maintaining control over the Senate.

Polls are all over the place. Now they show generic Republican leads, now Democratic.

The general experience in polling is that they are more often conducted by left-leaning institutions and massaged to show Democratic “momentum.”

Since the polling meltdown of 2016 — when most polls showed a Hillary Clinton Electoral College landslide — they have regained little credibility.

Current progressive heartthrob and spoiler Representative Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., was polled at only 20% behind in her recent primary, only to be crushed in the end, losing by over 37%.

The corporate leftist media does its part by glorifying a now dynamic “Aviator Joe.”

President Joe Biden in cool sunglasses is now constructed into a swaggering “Top Gun” Tom Cruise-like figure, rather than a cognitively challenged 79-year-old.

Biden’s just-passed reconciliation “Inflation Reduction Act,” according to most experts, will raise taxes even on the middle class and spur inflation. So, the media euphemistically renames it a “climate change bill.”

With a stroke of his pen before the midterms, Biden forgives $300 billion in student debt, without a care for the dutiful who paid their loans off or those who did not go to college but will now pay for those that did.

If inflation is running at 8.5% over last July’s prices, the White House giddily announces inflation is “zero” because it did not climb at 9.1% over 2021 prices – as it did in June.

That’s like saying someone entombed in a sinkhole 10 feet below ground is no longer trapped at all since he floated up one foot since falling

In California, when $6.50 a gallon gas dipped last month to $5.50 a gallon, Biden pronounced the end of high energy costs. He forgets that on his watch, gas prices doubled and remain $2.50 a gallon higher than they were on Inauguration Day.

Despite the propaganda, the Republicans seem confident nonetheless because of the dismal 40% approval ratings of Biden and his even less popular agenda.

Crime is out of control. The Left blew up the southern border. Biden has waged war on energy production and deliberately spiked gas costs.

Foreign policy is in shambles. Racial relations are scary. Historically, presidents are shellacked in their first midterms.

So, there should be a Republican tsunami.

But will there be?

So far, the Republicans have not nationalized congressional races with a uniform contract with America, an agenda that they will seek to enact the moment they take Congress.

If all Republican candidates run on what the Left has done to America in less than two years and offer a systematic corrective, they will win. If they get bogged down in the 24-hour news cycle they will flounder.

Conservatives seem oblivious to the current left-wing strategy. That is odd, since it is unchanged since the Russian collusion hoax and the psycho-dramatic Ukrainian phone call impeachment

The left-wing playbook is based on two pillars: the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s home, the January 6 “insurrection” investigation — and selective daily leaking about both.

About every week, in efforts at mass distraction from the dismal record of Biden, we will hear of a new “bombshell” and “walls-are-closing-in” Justice Department or FBI leak to an obsequious media.

In 24-hour cycles, we will hear more about how Trump supposedly stole “nuclear secrets”!

And “informed but anonymous sources insist” that Trump is trying to sell memorabilia. Or is Trump trying to hide January 6 evidence at his home? Or was it those Russian collusion files?

Sanctimonious Attorney General Merrick Garland will fight tooth and nail not to release an unredacted historic fishing-expedition affidavit for a warrant to meander through the closets of the Trump home. But he certainly will redact — and leak.

The January 6 Committee will continue to subpoena and flip witnesses with threats of indictments, certain doom before biased Washington, D.C. juries, and crushing legal bills.

Between the raid and the star-chamber House inquiry, we are supposed to forget unaffordable gas and food, dangerous U.S. cities, over 3 million people swarming the border, and the Afghanistan debacle.

Big Tech in November as in 2020 will again flood registrars with billions of dollars in dark money — while denying it.

They will censor and expunge anything unflattering to the Left on social media, and claim they do not.

The Left will systematically try to ensure that, as in 2020, only 30% of the electorate vote in person on election day, as they plead they are underfunded and disorganized.

Yet if the Republicans advance a coherent national plan of action to restore a pre-Biden America, if Trump will focus positively on national issues and not take the bait to obsess on the wrongs done to him, and if grass-roots conservatives this time around prepare to preempt massive left-wing vote harvesting, they will achieve their blowout.

But that is a lot of ifs. And meanwhile, time grows short.

J Street backs terror-linked NGOs that also take Soros’s cash

The left-wing lobby lied about the billionaire’s help. Now it openly takes his money to fight congressional AIPAC supporters while opposing Israel’s efforts to curb Palestinian groups

(August 24, 2022 / JNS) ……..As it happens, at the top of J Street’s agenda this week is a campaign to orchestrate American opposition to Israel’s efforts to shut down organizations that act as front groups for a terror organization—the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). It should come as no surprise that among those funding these groups is Soros’s Open Society Foundation, a fact that was documented nearly a decade ago by NGO Monitor and which also recently reported about the groups’ employees being part of a terror cell.

These NGOs masquerade as advocates for civil-society causes that are supposedly focused on improving the lives of ordinary Palestinians. International groups like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International that are rallying behind these groups targeted by Israel for their ties with the PFLP also traffic in lies about Israel being an “apartheid state.” They also support the Palestinian “pay to slay” program that funnels cash to terrorists and their families as a reward for injuring or killing Israelis and Americans. The Israel Defense Forces had already designated these groups as terror supporters last fall, but they followed up this week with raids on their offices that have generated outrage among the usual suspects who seek to delegitimize everything done to defend the Jewish state against those who are working to destroy it. CONTINUE

"Get Trump!" Damn the Constitution

by Alan M. Dershowitz,

Many of my friends on the left fear [Trumpism] as much as many on the right feared communism in the 1950s. And they may have a point. But not enough of a point to destroy a century of progress in civil liberties, free speech, due process, and the rule of law.

Articles are now frequently appearing in the mainstream media demanding compromises with important rights in the name of "Getting Trump."

My former colleague Laurence Tribe, who taught constitutional law for half a century, now seems willing to weaponize the Constitution to serve his partisan end of "Getting Trump." Incredibly, he has advocated prosecuting Trump for the "attempted murder" of then Vice President Mike Pence. To do so would require retroactively and unconstitutionally expanding the law of attempts to fit Trump's ill-advised actions and inactions with regard to Pence. But apparently that doesn't matter to Tribe and his followers, who care more about achieving their "noble" ends than they do about the ignoble means they are willing to employ.

The ACLU, which has long objected to the overuse of search warrants instead of subpoenas, is silent about the search of Mar-a-Lago. As long as the goal is to get Trump, anything goes including hypocrisy, inconstancy and unconstitutionality.  CONTINUE

The same corrupt FBI and DOJ team that cooked up the Russian Collusion Hoax struck again. This time, to a whole new level with their Mar-A-Lago Raid. The weaponization of the government against political opponents cannot stand. These are dark times for our nation. But it's only the beginning... 

If they can do this to a former President, just think of what they can do to you with their 87,000 new armed IRS agents "willing to use deadly force" and the force of the entire federal government under the control of radical leftists aligned against us. 

As Trump has always said, "In reality they're not after me, they're after you. I'm just in the way."

Ameri-Can Or Can’t?: China’s Looming Demographic And Economic Collapse

interview with John H. Cochrane, Niall Ferguson, H. R. McMaster, Bill Whalen via GoodFellows
Is this the “Chinese Century? Not necessarily, given that nation’s long-term demographic challenges (an aging population overtaking a contracting workforce). Hoover senior fellows Niall Ferguson, H.R. McMaster and John Cochrane discuss the geopolitical consequences of a China in decline – if it accelerates a move against Taiwan; should America be engaging in détente or a military buildup?

A few days ago I made a few market comments and said I expected the market probably had another leg down and today that leg shake probably began but I find this more of an opportunity to take advantage of because history reveals sharp down markets create opportunities as I believe this phase is doing.  

When investors rush out the door you should be thinking of going in and if you can't bring yourself to be a contrarian you will never be a successful investor. 

The Fed follows the statistics so the focus should be there and not on Powell whose comments reflect them. Second, inflation is ebbing.  I also noted black swans exist and they must not be ignored because they could occur however,  no one knows whether they will.

If you are a liberal he offends your tender sensibilities. If you are a conservative you laugh at his mental creativity.  Therein lies the schism that is destroying our nation.
