Biden Ad – Part 3
Joe Biden’s really plastering the airwaves with ads. Saw another one. Did you know Trump gave tax cuts to the rich? Yep. Said it right in the ad, so it must be true. I wonder . . . what are the qualifications to get that tax cut? My wife and I got a check earlier…

Straight Outta Wonderland
First it was Kanye West – one of rap’s most consistently creative (and yes, unbalancee) figures. [1], endorsing Trump three years ago. Then it was Ice Cube – formerly of NWA, and more famous as an actor these days – not so much “endorsing Trump” as asking blacks what the Democrats have done for them…

Not The <I>Babylon Bee</I>
Talking about Hunter Biden’s addiction is mean to addicts. Do you know what’s really mean to addicts? Enabling them Giving a separate justice system to the powerful. (Notice how NPR “fact checked” the assertion that Biden was kicked out of the Navy? he got an “administrative discharge” – as if he’d have gotten that had…

Biden Ad – Part 1
I saw an ad on television. Donald Trump only cares about the stock market. He gave tax cuts to the rich. Joe Biden will fix all that. Stock market – fat cats – rich people. Yeah, screw ’em. Not like it’ll affect my family at all. Go for it, Joe! Well, except for that IRA…

Question
Record number of women and minorities seeking concealed carry permits. When Harris gets elected and her first Executive Order bans all guns, will the New York Times headline read, “Women and Minorities Hardest Hit”? Joe Doakes Should Harris/Biden win, and the Senate flip, and given the left’s predilection to overreaching when they get power, I suspect…

When Democrats #Progsplain That There Is No Voting Fraud…
…rest assured, they are doing it to distract from all their voting fraud. But we knew that.

Once Bitten
A majority of Americans are not only worried about violence after the election – they’re doing something about it: When asked about just what sort of violence they expected to see, those polled responded with “riots,” “looting,” “burning” as some of their predictions. “Trashing of cities” was another response. The YouGov poll was completed between October 1 – 2,…

Body Count
A “security guard” with lefty sympathies allegedly killed a pro-police protester, in Denver over the weekend. The video is disturbing: The “guard” – who apparently lacked a security guard license – was contracting through Pinkerton Security, one of the big rentacop jobbers, to Denver’s NBC affiliate. The Denver Police quickly leapt to Big Left’s defense,…

Strategery
I/m farirly convinced – amost to the point of making up a new Berg’s Law – that the Democrat messaging strategy is as follows: Assume that Democrat voters (as opposed to participants in their political class) are low-information voters who don’t really think all that critically Message accordingly. Exhibit NZA-212949993-6: Well, no – doing the…

Multi Level
One of my favorite quotes: “…when women have a conversation, they’re communicating on fivelevels. They follow the conversation that they’re actually having, theconversation that is specifically being avoided, the tone being appliedto the overt conversation, the buried conversation that is being coveredonly in subtext, and finally the other person’s body language.” ― Jim Butcher, Cold…

Veep Debate
Remember during the impeachment fiasco, when a few Democrats who weren’t smoking pot outside school during civics class remembered the order of succession? And realized Mike Pence, not Hillary Clinton, would be taking over? The fear they felt? You could see why last night. Mike Pence mopped the floor with Harris. How bad? Bad enough…

Repeat Big Lies For 90 Minutes…
My take on the debates: BIDEN: “Trump [as opposed to Democrat governors and their idiotic lockdowns] tanked the economy” THE LEFT AND MEDIA (PTR): (Bobs heads approvingly) BIDEN: “He let the Russians put bounties on our troops!” THE LEFT AND MEDIA (PTR): (Bobs heads approvingly) BIDEN: “He said the Nazis at Charlottesville were perfectly fine…

Representative Molotov
Once upon a time, I got some great life advice. “Find what you’re good at, and run with it”. John Thompson, would-be DFL rep from District 67A, the East Side, apparently got and practices the same advice. He does seem to like burning down suburbs. Or at least talking about it. A lot: Sure, that’ll…

Lest Anyone Forget
Nearly every American partisan voter will tell you one presidential candidate is not of sound mind. Half of us have documentary evidence:

Deal Or No Deal
I watched Family Feud last night. Joe Biden told me he’d impose a national mask mandate to save us all from Covid, so I should vote for him. Now, it seems he won’t. So . . . no reason to vote for you, then, Joe? Might as well stick with the devil we know? Good by…

We Have A Plan
Just saw a Joe Biden ad. If he’s president, on day one, he will implement the plan he’s been advocating since March. Okay, what is it? Nope, not going to tell us, it’s a secret plan to defeat the virus. But it does include masks. Joe Doakes I watch those Joe Biden ads – it…

Fill The Vacancy
Trump is under no obligation to wait ’til the election. He should not. There are two types of rules in Washington: laws that allocate power, and norms that reflect how power has traditionally, historically been used. Laws that allocate power are paramount, and particularly dangerous to violate, but there is no such law at issue here. A president can…

Go Figure
A socialist walks into a Latino restaurant in Miami, hoping for a cheap, Latin-vote-grabbing photo op. The socialist was Kamala Harris. The Latino restaurant was Venezuelan. It did not end well for Harris, either gustatorily or in media terms: All Latinos look alike to Democrats. Sorta like all blacks, gays, women, Asians…

Democrat Messaging, Distilled
This really sums up the entire Democrat messaging, in Minnesota and nationwide, perfectly:

Exuberance – Rational Or Not
To be a conservative in Minnesota (forget for a moment that neither Trump nor today’s GOP are “conservative”) is to assume all hope is illusory, even a little bit cruel. And yet Biden and Harris are spending time here – a state that should be a gimme for them, at least at the Presidential level.…

The Worst Thing Ever
Ryan Winkler, the House Majority Leader, isn’t thrilled with President Trump stealing Joe Biden’s thunder: Then the Majority Leader has had a pretty sheltered life. Know what’s the worst thing I’ve ever heard? Other than the Holocaust, the Great Leap Forward, the Gulag, the Holodomor, the Rape of Nanking, the subjugation of Tibet, the history…

Repeat A Big Lie Slickly Enough
I rarely watch pay television, I’m generally reading a book or watching a movie on Netflix. So I was surprised at the quality of Joe Biden’s campaign ads. If I didn’t know he’s been hiding in the basement the last six months, didn’t know he stumbles and flubs his way through interviews, didn’t know he’s…

You Have Questions. Berg’s Law Has Answers
“So, Mitch – why are the Democrats and media (ptr) spending so much time saying that Trump wants to delegitimize the election?” The answer, of course, is because they need to deflect away from the fact that they are trying, in advance, to delegitimize the election.

I’m Joe Biden, And I Approve This Bit Of Gaslighting
My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw the latest Biden ad, about the violence in our cities. It’s not what’s in the ad, per se. It’s what’s missing. Go ahead. What do you not see in this ad? I’ll wait. No identifiable “Anti”-Fa or BLM. The only identifiable people in this ad are…
