Do I Really Want to Do An Election Post? I'm Positive!

I was kind of stuffy last night, and in view of the daughter-in-law's positive test I decided I should probably test myself this morning too.

As expected, positive. The waiting part is over, at least. Other than the stuffy nose, and a slight headache not relieved by a couple cups of coffee, I feel OK. Hopefully it will stay that way. Given that all of us, except for the two-year old, Gabi, are fully vaccinated and boosted, we can be fairly sure its Omicron, which is running rampant in the state. Let's go, Brandon!

Jazz Shaw at Haut Hair reports Biden retreats, will shield some Trump January 6 documents

Eliminating most vestiges of executive privilege just to “own the cons” or create trouble for the Bad Orange Man might sound like fun right now, but it would also set a precedent that Biden could soon come to regret. Biden’s people can read the polls just as well as anyone else and they are no doubt aware that the GOP could very well take back the majority in one or both chambers of Congress next November. And if that happens, with executive privilege being largely a thing of the past, just imagine what sort of committees might be formed in January of 2023 and what they might choose to investigate.

Larry O'Connor at Town Hall calls The Biden Presidency: A Horrible Accident of History and a UMass poll reports Just 6% of Republicans say Biden's victory was "definitely legitimate". Insty, ANALYSIS: TRUE.

Damon Linker at Da Week whines about 'Let's go, Brandon' and the politics of degradation, "When did vulgarly insulting people become a form of politics?" Fuck off, Damon, it's a long American tradition, and you didn't mind when it was done to Trump, Bush, Reagan etc. At the Neon Nettle, MSNBC: Man Saying 'Let's Go Brandon' to Biden Is the 'Slow-Motion Insurrection', "The asymmetry of saying F you to a sitting president on a call." Meanwhile, Dan Chaitin at WaEx reports Oregon man who told Biden 'Let's go Brandon' on Santa tracker call open to running for office. They could do worse, and have. 

Anders Hagstrom at Da Caller says Harris Allies Weaponize Race And Gender As Media Sours On Her Performance. It's pretty much been her sole platform. From Spiked, The left doesn’t own minority voters, "Unless left-wing parties drop their woke dogmas, they’ll struggle in the increasingly diverse West." At the College Fix, U. North Carolina-Greensboro lecturer defends CRT, says ‘whiteness is a disease’ Keep digging that hole, please.

Slay hears Newt Gingrich: Hillary Clinton ‘Is Going to Run’ Instead of Biden in 2024. She won't stop unless she gets the wooden stake and her mouth stuffed with garlic. At Fox, Lindsey Graham says Donald Trump has the Republican nomination for president if he wants it: "Graham says Trump would have to run 'a disciplined campaign'" Like that'll happen! Kevin Downey at PJ Media wonders Was 2021 Trump's Best Year Ever?

From Da Caller, Michigan Approves New US House Map, Leading To An Incumbent V. Incumbent Primary, "While the new map gives Biden a 7-6 edge, Wasserman noted that it could swing as much as 9-4 for Republicans in 2022." At Breitbart, Sen. Van Hooligan (D-MD) plans new shenanigans to pass the voter law that would federalize elections, Van Hollen: ‘We Are Looking at Different Ways to Reform the Filibuster’

Red State's Nick Arama thinks Lauren Boebert Tricked the Left Into Exposing Biden With a Savage Troll. "It’s almost the end of 2021 and I’ve yet to see Biden mobilize truinternatialdepressure like he promised. What’s the hold up?" They don't get the joke.

Breitbart, House Democrats Flock to the Exits Leading into Election Year — Potentially More on the Way. Are they going to retire to nice, safe Red States, like their constituents? TNP, Bolt From The Blue: Nearly a MILLION Americans Leave Dem States to the Safer, Less COVID-Panicked South. Insty CHANGE: New U.S. Census Data: Major Migration From Blue States To Red States.

By the way, if you’re looking to make a year-end charitable deduction, consider supporting the Fresh Start States “Welcome Wagon” Project. It’s scheduled to be reaching out to new arrivals in 2022, explaining why they shouldn’t vote for the policies that ruined the states they came from.

Am Mil News, Pentagon banning ‘extremist’ tattoos, clothes, bumper stickers in new policy. At this point, will they consider an American flag an extremist tattoo? Stay tuned.

TNP, Far-Left Jan 6 Commission Demands Bank Records of Trump Staff in Bizarre Intimidation Attempt. Anxious is anxious that Trump accuses Jan. 6 panel of "seeking evidence of criminal activity"

What they're saying: The select committee is acting as “an inquisitorial tribunal seeking evidence of criminal activity,” Trump lawyer Jesse R. Binnall wrote in the brief, adding that such action is “outside of any of Congress’s legislative powers.”

“The Washington Post has confirmed what was already apparent — the Committee is indeed seeking any excuse to refer a political rival for criminal charges, and they are using this investigation to do so," Binnall added.

At Da Blaze, Mark Levin say Jan 6 Committee's 'evidence' of Trump's 'criminal conduct' ends up proving just the opposite

Noting that the texts nearly all showed beyond question that the people in President Trump's inner-circle were shocked and alarmed by the protest-turned-riot, Mark argued that the texts actually prove that neither the president nor his chief of staff had prior knowledge of or participated in planning the Jan. 6 riot.

"Now let me ask you a question: What does that demonstrate?" Mark asked of what the texts reveal. "It proves the case against their own narrative. If Donald Trump were leading an insurrection, don't you think Don Jr. would be in on it? If Donald Trump were leading an insurrection, don't you think some of his friends in the media would know about it rather than telling him ... to do something about this? It wouldn't be the other way around."

"That's the point. If you had somebody with a 4 IQ there, they'd have said, 'Wait a minute, if Don Jr is pleading with his dad to say something (in response to the riot), then obviously Don Jr. didn't know about it in advance, or these Fox hosts didn't know about it in advance, nor did the president, nor did his chief of staff.' Right? Because they would have talked to their friends and their compatriots," Mark said.

And in the real insurrection? Buzzfeed reports  An Informant In The Michigan Kidnapping Case Has Been Charged With Fraud, "Even while he was assisting the FBI, Stephen Robeson allegedly used a fake charity to defraud a Wisconsin couple out of an SUV." Won't that make for interesting testimony? PM reports More than half of the rioters arrested in Buffalo during George Floyd riots had their cases dismissed "When it comes to how the city of Buffalo has handled arresting and charging rioters, it turns out very few made their full way to trial." Compare and contrast to Jan. 6 defendants. At Fox,  Hillary Clinton voter gets 35-to-life for killing bandmate’s wife in argument over 2016 election. "The case was already underway before liberal Los Angeles County DA George Gascon issued a mandate against enhanced gun charges, a report said."

A California man who supported Hillary Clinton for president received a maximum sentence of 35 years to life in prison this week after being convicted of killing his bandmate’s wife in an argument over the 2016 election, according to a report.

The slain woman was holding the couple’s 2-year-old child at the time of the Jan. 10, 2017, incident, the Press-Enterprise of Southern California reported.

After revealing he had supported Clinton, defendant John Kevin McVoy Jr., 40, was told by the bandmate, "Get the f--- out of my house," according to prosecutors.

McVoy then fired a shot at the bandmate, identified as Victor Garcia, striking him in the head, the Press-Enterprise reported. Garcia spent months in a coma afterward and required two brain surgeries plus physical therapy to relearn basic life skills, the report said.

A second shot struck Garcia’s wife, Susan Garcia, killing her, while one of the other bandmates was trying to disarm McVoy, the report said. The child was not hurt.
