First, a few notable quotes from the “Soul of the Nation” speech, which was a sorry exercise in projection for Trump-hating dimwits who watch CNN, MSNBC and subscribe to the New York Times and Washington Post.

They [MAGA Republicans] refuse to accept the results of a free election. And they’re working right now, as I speak, in state after state to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself.
— Joe Biden, 9/1/22

It all depends if previous elections have truly been “free” from undo interference.

Yep, it was the most secure election in history. Except for that Russian interference in both 2016 and 2020. Unfortunately, one accusation turned out to be a Hillary Clinton/DNC dirty trick and the other turned out be a cover story to mask an embarrassment to the Democrat candidate so patterns need be taken into account.

Back to Biden’s rantings, when it comes to repeatedly refusing to accept the results of a free and fair election, Donald Trump and his supporters need to get to the back of the line.

9/26/19: Hillary Clinton: Trump is an ‘illegitimate president’

In 2000, Al Gore (D) and his fellows contested the results all the way to the Supreme Court before conceding. And, of course, there’s 2016. How many leftists have there been who still don’t accept the defeat of Hillary Clinton? Good grief! After all this time, Hillary herself still hasn’t accepted the outcome. In fact, Hillary Clinton is the only person I’ve heard to openly advocate for a losing presidential candidate to not accept the election results. Hillary’s exact words were, “Joe Biden should not concede [the election] under any circumstances … he will win if we don’t give an inch…”

But wait; there’s more!

5/9/22: Biden’s New Press Secretary Is A ‘Stolen Election’ Conspiracy Theorist Who Called Trump An ‘Illegitimate President’

In fact, Democrats routinely attempt to decertify Republican president-elects which ironically brings us back to Biden’s words in Philadelphia where he said, “Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election: either they win or they were cheated.”

Projection.

1/6/17 House Democrats fail to muster support to challenge Trump’s Electoral College win

It was a rather disorganized and pitiful display.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said in a phone interview that she as many as 10 colleagues plan to challenge the validity of electoral votes in multiple states, where she argued voter suppression tactics may have tainted the outcome. The maneuver to impede Trump’s election also faces another potentially crippling problem: challenges to electoral votes require the support of at least one member of both House and the Senate. So far, Jackson Lee said, no senators have stepped forward to join the effort.
— Politico, 1/6/17

This was also standard operation procedure for the Democrats.

Democrats Objected to Electoral Vote Certification in 2000, 2004, 2016

There are dozens of instances and venues where Democrats have refused to accept their respective election defeats. Nothing from Joe Biden or Karine Jean-Pierre on that and there are Democrats who are doing all possible to work with compliant Democrat state legislatures to change voting rules, in some cases, months before an election.

5/9/22: Eric Holder on gerrymandering: “Republicans have to cheat in order to win” elections

Of course when Democrats do it, it’s called “redistricting”. Meanwhile, when it comes to the outrageous and unfounded criticism of the accuracy of voting machines…

Marc Elias, a prominent Democratic election attorney, argued in a court filing this week that faulty voting machines may have misread thousands of votes in a House election in upstate New York, a claim similar to the debunked allegation some Republicans pushed regarding the 2020 presidential election.
— Daily Caller, 2/5/21

If it helps Democrats defeat Republicans, they will create new illusions on the “free and fair” election that ultimately benefits them.

Ranked-choice voting
Voters rank candidates in order of preference. If a candidate receives more than 50% of first-place votes after the first tabulation, then they win, but if there is no majority winner, then the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated.  In the next tabulation, voters who chose the eliminated candidate as their top pick will have their votes go to their second-place pick. This process is repeated until one candidate receives a majority of the votes.
— Fox News, 9/1/22

Watch how quickly the left will call ranked-choice voting unconstitutional once their candidates lose in this system.

Biden rambled on.

They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country. They look at the mob that stormed the United States Capitol on January 6th — brutally attacking law enforcement — not as insurrectionists who placed a dagger to the throat of our democracy, but they look at them as patriots.

Democrats conveniently dismiss any attempt to compare the January 6 foolishness to the liberal Democrat 2020 “Summer of Love” Black Lives Matter/Antifa rioting that occurred in hundreds of American cities and cost many lost enforcement personnel and citizens their lives, not to mention billions in private and public property damage.

But the takeover of a “People’s House” didn’t occur for the first time ever in Washington, D.C. after the 2020 election. Leftists have shot up and bombed the Capitol before, but let’s not get all distracted by the past. Actually, the takeover of a legislature building is a rather common occurrence when Dems don’t get their way, want something, and most of the time without a permit.

Liberal Democrats are encouraged and allowed to occupy government spaces but when the right protests, Democrats call the cops to have the gathering declared an “unlawful assembly”.

And they see their MAGA failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election as preparation for the 2022 and 2024 elections.

Democrats denied Republicans the opportunity to celebrate Inauguration Day 2017 and Biden will never mention the attempted assassination of Republicans at a baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia by a Bernie Sanders supporter. Political violence has been extremely rare on the right and routine from the left.

They tried everything last time to nullify the votes of 81 million people. This time, they’re determined to succeed in thwarting the will of the people. I will not stand by and watch — I will not — the will of the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless, evidence-free claims of fraud. 
— Joe Biden, 9/1/22

Before we blindly agree that the 2020 election was on the up-and-up just because they told us so, don’t forget the growing number of instances where we were told to accept something the left and their media insisted was truth that had to be acted on just to find out it was either very wrong or an intentional lie. Remember those in the Trump administration and/or supporters who’ve been arrested (and in some cases financially ruined defending themselves against federal law enforcement) while Democrats who have genuinely broken the law get the customary wrist slap if any punishment at all.

Seeing how the United States is a constitutional republic, the only threat to “democracy” is the fact that most of the word Democrat is in it. Biden’s vindictive policies have been so destructive to Americans, he’s doing all he can to keep what semblance of a base he has left because when Republicans take the majority in 2022 and Trump gets back in the White House in 2025, there will be a reckoning.

It will be very ugly and well-deserved.

An assertion very few are buying.

It’s true that gas prices have increased far more drastically than the cost of other goods — 18.3 percent since February and 48 percent since March 2021. But, as Brad Polumbo of the Foundation for Economic Education pointed out, “gas prices were rising for almost nine months before the invasion began, and prices overall have been surging since May of 2021.”
— The Week, 4/16/22

But the butchery of messaging continued with Biden’s latest address to the nation, including a new label that will undoubtedly be incorporated….

As usual, it didn’t go as planned.

WaPo: Biden’s false claim that ‘congressional Republicans’ want to raise taxes

Nothing much to add seeing how things will only get worse with Biden, supposedly, at the helm. He won’t correct his policies. He’ll just continue to insult the American people who aren’t stupid enough to fall for their callous spin.

Martin Hyde, a congressional candidate from the Sarasota area, has released a public apology following a recent traffic stop where he threatened to end the career of the officer who pulled him over.

“I tried to bully her,” Hyde said of the Feb. 14 traffic stop. “I am not proud of it.”
— WFLA, 2/23/22

“Not proud of it” because he was being a pompous jerk or because video of his belligerence was capture and gleefully shared by the media?

HuffPo: GOP House Candidate Seen Berating Cop, Calling Her ‘Immigrant’ During Traffic Stop
Newsweek: GOP House Candidate Martin Hyde Caught Threatening Cop During Traffic Stop
NewsOne: Florida GOP Candidate Goes Full Anti-‘Back The Blue’ In Threatening ‘Immigrant’ Cop’s Job Over Traffic Stop

Hyde appears to be one of the class of political people (whom he later bitches about) who get into politics, not to be public servants defending the values of his constituents, but to rise in the ranks to the sole personal benefit of themselves. Of course, Hyde’s actions now reflect badly on the Republican Party as a whole during a time when conservatives are routinely mocked by the Democrat left for being supporters of law enforcement.

In the video, the female officer explains to Hyde that he is being pulled over for speeding and texting while driving. Less than 30 seconds into their interaction, Hyde says to the officer, “you know who I am, right?” He then tells her, “I’ll just call the chief, how about that?” The video shows Hyde question the officer’s nationality when she returns with citations for speeding, texting while driving and failure to produce a registration. “Is it your Russian immigrant status that makes you talk to people like this?” Hyde asked.

Even after being busted and supposedly acknowledging is wrongdoing, Hyde still tried to offset his actions meaning he really hasn’t learned anything from this episode.

Hyde is challenging Rep. Vern Buchanan in a Republican primary for the chance to represent Florida’s 16th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. He said if he wasn’t running for public office, he’s not sure his recent interaction with officers would be a big deal.

After mounting pressure, Martin Hyde did what busted Democrats seldom do: he appears to be dropping out of the race, but not before playing the martyr and throwing slings and arrows at detractors AND his party…..

I am sorry because in a democracy without congressional term limits, I have taken away the opportunity for people to make changes in a stagnant system that rewards incumbency over innovation and true local representation.

I was prepared to use my limited resources to mount a congressional campaign based on equity as opposed to elitism – which is the irony of the manner of my demise.

I hope that the hundreds of calls that I got on my cellphone – from all over the United States – telling me what a fat, entitled person I am will not only get me back to eating properly, but to also be mindful that it is how we are at our worst that defines our progress as adults.

I will end on a positive note – positive, that is, in terms of being liberating because I will not be constrained by towing the party line going forward.

The Sarasota County Republican Party is controlled by a small group of self-appointed elites and special interests that I have never liked – and now I can say that. All of the current statehouse representatives, with the exception of one, are from wealthy, influential families who used their money to get them into office. All of them crave higher office despite doing nothing to have earned the elected offices that they now hold. And until we do something about this form of elitism, my childish behavior will pale in comparative importance.
— Martin Hyde, 2/25/22

Martin Hyde is clearly someone who (again) was not properly vetted, ingratiated himself within the conservative elite after insulting their supporters, to the delight of a seasoned-red-meat media that gives scant attention to Democrats who’ve done the same, if not worse.

In a letter published in the Herald-Tribune during Donald Trump’s initial bid for President, Martin Hyde wrote that Trump was “wretched,” — synonymous with “vile,” “odious,” and “worthless” — and he said he was “horrified” by the “bigotry and bullying” of Trump supporters.

Hyde’s anti-Trump rhetoric clearly wasn’t enough to dissuade Roger Stone from turning down a five-figure monthly retainer from a candidate who ended last quarter with a paltry $6,283 cash-on-hand. But Stone wasn’t the only pardoned MAGA celebrity to rebuke Trump and get behind Hyde. Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI (twice!), also endorsed the million-to-one shot congressional candidate.
— Florida Politics, 11/15/21

Let’s hope this is the end of the line for people like Hyde. We have enough people like this in the party, not to mention politics in general, and their ascendance only gives the appearance of acceptance.

Actor and activist Alyssa Milano will meet with Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday to talk about gun reform, after they had a set of exchanges on Twitter over what is needed to be done in the aftermath of mass shootings in Odessa and El Paso. “We don’t agree on this issue. But if we can talk with mutual respect & humility, maybe all of is come together to effect positive change,” she wrote on Twitter on Wednesday evening.

Milano had originally proposed the meeting be live streamed “so the American people can hear your bullshit 1st hand.”
— Deadline, 9/5/19

We’ll see how eager she is to allow the nation to see just how clueless she is, but when it comes to “come together”, Alyssa Milano was never quite there.

“Mutual respect & humility”

Unlike the real world where you have to prove your value and then get paid, Hollywood “actors” negotiate their compensation upfront before they utter one line so even if the production bombs, it’s no big deal.

Alyssa Milano is at that point in her “career” where any attention is a good thing. Insulting half the country who didn’t vote the way she wanted in 2016 is okay with her, and no amount of cosmetics will hide that demand for relevance so she can keep those TV, B-movie and cable series paychecks coming in.

It remains to be seen if she thinks she can hold her own against the likes of Senator Ted Cruz, and a thumbs up or down on making this upcoming discussion public will speak volumes. The ability to think on her feet against someone who’s forgotten more about policy than Milano’s ever Googled should be quite entertaining.

They appeal to the naive who know nothing about them. The template is out there for all to see and utilize.

A woman identifying herself as “Reformed Republican” posted a photo of herself in a “Make America Great Again” hat and announced she refused to hide any longer.

The way the story ended, however, was not the way Republicans would have hoped. She posted a GoFundMe link to a since-deleted request for help. She raised over $150,000 off of conservative donors.

Once she was finally outed, she explained that it wasn’t stealing because Republicans aren’t people, to begin with.

We’ve repeatedly warned conservatives to vet those they blindly embrace and we’re admonished because if they saw that person on FOX NEWS, that’s all they need, despite the fact Fox News doesn’t issue retractions when they get suckered.

Sadly, people who want to be a part of something on Facebook and wish to appear tolerant and inclusive, are easy pickin’s for those who look down on you as stupid.

You keep proving their point.
