When someone tells you what they are, you need to pay attention. And that evening, the Democrats showed us that they are really the party of anger and hate.

Expand full comment

Anger and hate that overshadow deep, deep corruption and death. Corruption to the tune of hundreds of billions, and given how long it has gone on unchecked, many trillions. USAID was a drive-through ATM of laundered money.

The Democrats are the embodiment of satan.

So hateful they can’t even stand to applaud a 13yr old cancer survivor, all because he was introduced by TRUMP!!! You know, “Orange Man Bad” & all that. They are a party so consumed with rage & hate they are blinded to little else.

I understand who you are referring to, but when referring to hags and whores in the Democrat Party, you really need to be more specific as there are so many to choose from. How about that Rosa Delauro? I'm sorry, but that's a face that could stop a clock.

You are being too kind. They are just ignoramuses that don't even know how to think for themselves; they;ve been led around by their noses for so long they have no clue about even humanity. Be gone, evil spirits. Visualizing that hateful Pelosi tearing up his speech never leaves me when I see her. What a despicable visual statement. She and Mr should be fined or in jail for their insider trading or using her position to enrich themselves which is apparent.

Back in 2004 someone paraphrased the debates. The donks were portrayed as lefty anger. That has been their platform since before 1860. People, especially the younger generations need to be shown this and periodically reminded of it. Best time to do that is in the first few months of each campaign season.

I'm thinking of the scene from Red Dawn where the downed pilot is talking to the kid notching his gun. Angry is no way to go through life.

anger and hate yes but something else that i usually don't ascribe to....stupidity. i always like to say that the democrats are clever and show solidarity but are never stupid. tuesday night made them look stupid and it was more on them than trump being brilliant. the democrats are following the wrong people who are giving them bad advice and that's simply stupid.

About Trump's alleged bragadoccio, I believe it was Bear Bryant (or someone just like him) who said, "It's a sad dog that won't wag his own tail." So yes, it ain't bragging if it's true. Nobody in the corporate media or the soi disant "non-profit" news community (if ever there was a true oxymoron, that is it, considering the vast sums of money these entities provide for their acolytes) is going to tell this truth, so it's up to Trump himself, using his bully pulpit to inform the rest of the world. And once the information is made available, it's up to truth-tellers like our own Gracioua Host to trumpet (pun intended) it to the masses. So ignore the bleatings of the dying mastodon of "corporate/non-profit news" (unless you feel the urge to point and laugh) and spread the good news, borthers and sisters. And Hallelujah for the ability and opportunity to do so.

I was director of marketing at an Ohio university attempting to make the faculty understand that they were collectively a black eye on the face of the institution. To get my message across I convened a meeting of all the faculty leaders including the provost and told them that Bear Bryant once said, "It's hard to build school spirit around a math class." Like the Democrats of today, they sat expressionless. It was like looking an oil painting. I couldn't penetrate their skulls. So I ran a campaign featuring our incredible basketball team and filled the student body with sports fans.

DJ, you are a brave man to pull that much elitist personality into a room to hear that message. Having read your comments here over the last year+, I can imagine how it was necessarily delivered. It was the right message to the 'Hamas-like' terrorists. Sometimes the challenges of marketing are not connecting with the external market, but in connecting the internal minions to understand their role in creating external brand image.

Bud Light showcased both of those challenges simultaneously.

I know the Ohio University you are referring to and they had powerful connections to the local robust business community - a magic bullet in blending a public university with private sector partnership.

Your Business College did that pretty well, I thought. Arts & Sciences? Probably not so much.

There is a great Thomas Sowell quote that goes like this, "Of all the ignorance, the ignorance of the educated is the most dangerous. Not only are the educated likely to have more influence, they are the last people to suspect that they don'e know what they are talking about when they go outside their narrow fields." In other words, insulated in the academic ivory tower breeds a lot of highly educated airheads who think their poo don't stink.

I've never heard that saying before ("It's a sad dog that won't wag his own tail.") and I love it!! Of ALL the superpowers Trump has *I* feel that his greatest might simply be his CONFIDENCE in himself! It is unknown to me to have ever seen someone SO SELF-ASSURED as Trump is and the left reads it as narcissist, fascist, etc etc when in reality, it is simply SELF-CONFIDENCE. It's amazing to see and I love how he is teaching the rest of the GOP by example!! If you know you're right, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!

Trump is triple-threat as a SOTU presenter:

1. He's inspiring

2. He's funny as hell

3. He brings out the scowling petulant child in every Democrat, revealing their innate awfulness and unfitness to govern

I'd add a fourth to your good list:

4. He's unafraid to speak the truth in the face of evil and not flinch or quiver.

Expand full comment

Yes. Good addition.

One hugely refreshing thing about Trump and his crew is the plain-speaking. The Democrats are the party (and culture) of the euphemism. They routinely speak in euphemisms: terms that sound nice, but terms that obscure reality.

Perhaps the most galling euphemism of all is "DEI", a second-order euphemism, a euphemism for a euphemism.

Euphemisms obfuscate, because they are designed to obfuscate so as to deceive others or to pretend we are doing one thing but actually doing other things. Imagine that: a party that stands for, and relies upon, deception in order to further their aims.

There's never been a bigger hypocrite than Bernie Sanders, although The Dems are grooming his replacement in AOC.

Speaking of audits, it is time for our DOJ (and Congressional ethics committee) to investigate the actions of a few Muslim members of Congress who, in the past, have outwardly supported anti-constitutional things and hold anti-American views. They are by all accounts enemies of this Constitutional Republic and appear to be trying to interfere with it's function.

They were duly elected. However, being duly elected by a small community of well-placed enemies of state for the purpose of assuming positions that bring destruction to our country is a Saul Alinsky tactic.

Expand full comment

Overplaying one’s rhetorical hand is a risk for sure. The foresight to mid-terms is also a consideration. Respectfully I suggest that whatever has captured the souls of Trump opposition is a different opponent than the crafty and corrupt Clinton crowd. They relied heavily on the tailwind of a favorable media, which has undergone heavy damage. They were also embroiled in a culture/character war which Bill Clinton’s prowess and Hillary Clinton’s corruption handled effectively enough. Owing to the Obama and Biden years, deep state has multiplied exponentially. But the curtain has lifted enough for significant public recognitions. Obama bamboozled the western world enough to avoid much ridicule. The landscape has changed immensely, mainly due to one man. He has opened the door to truth. It is fitting (and frankly high time) that the ridiculous should be amply ridiculed.

I was listening to a podcast yesterday that played some the Republican response to Trump's address. Slotkin's speech made it sound to me like they wanted to move toward the center.

Expand full comment

The midterms are still too far off; I'd love if we could start putting the spotlight on them right now.

One thing we haven't done enough, is when they have a controversial vote, we need to keep the Right-media focus on it--for example, 170 Democrats in the House, and 35 Democratic Senators voted AGAINST the Laken Riley bill (against removing violent illegals). We needed to hammer this in--publish names of the 170 and the 35, and email copies of Right-media articles that covered it to every liberal we know. And hand out paper copies of it too. Ask the liberal you give it to if this is really what they support. I think many Democratic voters actually have no idea this is how their Reps are voting.

There was another vote a year or so ago, where 100% of Democrats in Congress voted to allow illegals to vote in our elections.

We know the Dems are on the 20% side of these 80-20 issues, but we need to NOT let these votes fade from public view. Pound on them, MILK them. Yes, many Democrats are from solid Democratic districts, but as we know Blacks and Hispanics are now getting very upset with the Dems. There are many receptive people now, and we need to get them the information that exposes what their Reps are really voting for.

Expand full comment

It's interesting that the word nearly everyone used yesterday to describe the Democrats behavior at the SOTU was "childish". And, as Reddog says here, they "need a good spanking".

This word "childish" is sticking because it really reveals an inescapable Truth. The Democratic party in recent years has abandoned all mature reasoning, and focused on extremely emotional but irresponsible positions. They are so colossally oblivious of basic economics--spending our country into extreme bankruptcy, abandoning even the most basic controls on the money being spent by the gigantic bureaucracy, etc. They have no idea or experience with how money is actually generated and earned by merit and hard work. They hand out money like it grows on trees, and like it is candy.

And this is just one area of immaturity. Another is "America is full of 'big meanies'--RACISTS". It is the classic "scapegoating" approach of taking any angst or difficulty you may be facing in your life and blaming it on someone, anyone, else. The Democrats have practically built a whole new fantasy world out of "magical thinking".

Too much to go into here. But "childish-ness" has permeated this incompetent party.
