Justin Trudeau trying to buy votes

As a Canadian, I can assure you the title of the video below is 100% accurate.  Justin Trudeau is getting ready for an election that he is going to lose.  He thinks this will help. It might, that's the sad think.  However I think enough Canadians are sick enough of this guy that they'll take the tax cut, they'll take the bribe, and then still vote his @ss out come election time. 

So.....nukes? Now what?

Reports of Russia launching an ICBM (whether nuclear or not, is not clear) at Ukraine this morning, in a major escalation of the war:

Scott Presler VS. Bucks County Commissioners

Well done.

Sunny Hostage, I mean Hostin, apology

Everyone's probably already seen this already but I was really busy today. Sunny Hostin looking like a hostage in this video, reading what shouldn't have to be forced on the clucking hens at The View.  Then again we all know what that show is...

First Dem candidate for 2028

Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro, putting on a smiley face for 2028.  Make no mistake, this move is entirely political. Democrats cheating has been an issue in the state for years. NOW Josh Shapiro has something to say about it? I'm not buying it. He has a chance to look like an above board guy with a case of cheating so blatantly obvious that there's no way to stand in support of it.  So why wouldn't he denounce this? There's no downside for Democrats because the cheating won't help. It's opportunism, plain and simple.

Lawyers and volunteers were everything

In my last post I talked about hitting the ground running. Here's why I think that is possible.  The last election Trump was defeated by a very poorly organized GOP. Republicans were locked out of counts in critical battleground states. There was no army of lawyers, no army of volunteers in 2020. Republicans got played so badly that it was inevitable that if Let's Go Brandon didn't win, they could have easily manufactured a win under those tilted-playing-field conditions. This is why so many Republicans reasonably think the 2020 election was stolen by the Democrats.

Remember Hillary Clinton telling Let's Go Brandon not to concede on election night? That's very telling. Why didn't that happen this time? The GOP, while not fully there yet, was so much better prepared with lawyers and volunteers. The Democrats could not organize any sort of shadowy light night rally for Kamala Harris, they knew they had to concede. The popular vote better reflected the reality of regular people, because there was far less possibility of cheating.

Yet despite all the claims by the media that cheating has never happened, it's still going on - out in the open even:

I am saying, we are living in a developed and powerful country on earth where we have to mention the keyword “valid” next to absentee ballot. How do I now believe they are valid? Who says they are valid (see the video below)? I thought the idea of ballot stuffing and other things… https://t.co/VFGoKtDBig

Trump's team was so organized they couldn't steal the presidency. There were many in the media predicting (or perhaps propagandizing) a Harris victory blowout. Then they were expecting a long week of counting in the swing states. Now Trump is clearly a lot more popular after four years of Brandon/Harris failures as a contrast, but it's not all his popularity that helped him win. The GOP's laser focus on the cheating was a huge boost that led to an election night win for Trump. It's clear Democrats moved the focus to congress because they had to do so. That team of lawyers the GOP assembled should be actively pursuing these other cheats on behalf of the GOP right now.

The main point though, is to point out that president Trump is coming into this term far better prepared than he was in 2016.  That being the case, hitting the ground running is far more likely this time around. He was prepared for election night, and it won him the election.  He has a team assembling much faster than in 2016. Day One should be great.
