I was watching some footage of the pro-Palestinian rioters scaling the outer fence at the White House and thinking, “Is there a chance they might get Joe?” But, no. It was all Kabuki theater, of course. Some people are screaming,” Hey, how come they didn’t arrest them like they did the January 6th protesters?” But you don’t arrest your friends when they’re playacting. You know, making believe that they expect the White House to throw the Israelis under the bus. Ask the former president of Harvard how that worked out for her. No this is a fig leaf to try and minimize the electoral penalty they expect to pay in Michigan from the Arab voters there. Well, someone did the math and decided this was the better play.
So, tomorrow is the Iowa Caucus. Trump will win it by twenty or more percent. If Haley comes in second then maybe DeSantis may drop out. I’m not sure if Ramaswamy stays in. Maybe he wants to do New Hampshire too. I really don’t know how all this works for him. I think with all the Democrat and Independent crossover, Haley has a shot at winning in New Hampshire. But New Hampshire is now just North Massachusetts. Of course, they don’t want Trump. Every time the idiot governor Sununu shows up on MSNBC, he yammers on about how independent their voters are. What a load of crap. Anywhere else in the country a New England “Republican” is a radical progressive.
But if Haley manages to squeak out a victory in New Hampshire the press will trumpet how this means she’s got a shot at the nomination. Now that’s a crock. I don’t even think she has a chance of winning in her home state of South Carolina. But we’ll be hearing that drivel all the way up to February 24th when the primary occurs. Then mercifully, the wind will collapse out of their sails and the next sideshow will be the court trials to try and put Trump in jail. And on and on until the conventions and then the election.
Well, I really don’t have the interest to follow all of the minutia. I’ll just look at the headlines and look for some talking head to say something really stupid that I can mock. And there’s no end to those. I can’t make up my mind which are more pathetic the idiots on CNN and MSNBC or the fakes at Fox News. They’re both contemptible but somehow the fake conservatives are more contemptible. The pundits on the Left are so obviously cretinous numbskulls that you almost feel sorry for them; being paraded in front of cameras and allowed to prove themselves morons. Someone like Joy Reid isn’t playing with a full deck.
She’s annoying for sure but no one is thinking, “Hey, that Joy Reid really has a point there.” Well, no one with an IQ over 65. So, it’s not very important to try and discredit her jabbering.
But the Fox News people are of at least functional human intelligence and yet they lie and deceive their viewers by carrying water for the likes of Joe Biden. More and more the likes of Bret Baier strike me as the worst problem in news. He’s the voice of the Republican establishment and the worst offender when it comes to trying to sell people on Nikki Haley as some kind of conservative. So, Brett and his clones will probably provide the best fodder for my mockery. I’m sure if I search round in his history, I’ll find his elevator speech for why Republicans should embrace pediatric transgender affirmation surgery. But somehow he hasn’t volunteered to try it out himself.
As I said at New Year’s Day, I intend to try to avoid beating the same dead horses I’ve been pummeling for the last few years. It’s not very amusing anymore but when there is something amusing or enlightening that I can think of I’ll pass it along. Well, let’s see what shows up in Iowa.
