Election: In Parting Shot, Bob Dole Makes Fun of Democrat Election Fraud

Jordan Boyd at Da Fed, In Farewell Letter, Bob Dole Pokes Fun At Chicago’s Reputation For Letting Dead People Vote. I stayed away from Bob Doles death; I voted for him (geez, the alternative were those malignant narcissists the Clintons) and I think he was a force for good in the party, but I had no strong feelings. I was going to comment, that according to WaPoo, he had joined the ranks of good Republicans, but that didn't seem a novel observation, but now, even that is probably off the table.

Margot Cleveland, also at Da Fed, Exclusive Whistleblower Video: Pennsylvania Election Workers Discuss Hiding ‘Derogatory’ Records, "A new whistleblower video shows Pennsylvania election workers discussing ways to hide derogatory information about the management of the November 2020 election." But everything was kosher in Pennsylvania, right? NYT whines (via Haut Hair) In bid for control of elections, Trump loyalists face few obstacles. Well, we let the democrats control that last one, and we saw how that worked out. AllahPundit at Haut Hair is put out by Watching Kanye West's publicist apparently try to intimidate a Georgia poll worker to help Trump. Yeah, he shouldn't but we know Kanye is crazy. 

At The Post (which Post??),  Eric Kaufmann claims Hispanic Americans are no longer ‘minority voters’

Hispanics appear to be transitioning from an insecure new group to a more assertive part of the mainstream. In so doing, their trajectory is looking more like that of aspirational and upwardly-mobile ‘white ethnics’ like Italian-Americans and less like that of African-Americans, who have historically been more receptive to Democrats’ framing of them as a marginalised group in need of protection.

Consider that figure 1, based on 2018 Pew data, shows a steady shift across generations of Hispanic-origin Americans, away from the Democrats and toward the Republicans. Political scientists Álvaro Corral and David Leal find that third generation Latinos were significantly more likely than the newly arrived to vote for Trump in 2016.

Which explains why Democrats are so desperate to import new first generation Hispanics. The sometimes sensible Megan McArdle at WaPoo, has an Opinion: The debate over ‘Latinx’ highlights a broader problem for Democrats. Haut Hair cites Dan McLaughlin at NR, Both groups of pessimists were wrong about Republicans and Hispanics

Hispanic voters were never a monolith: Republicans in Texas and Florida always had more success than in California. The optimistic case argued that Hispanic voters tended to vote Democratic for many of the same reasons that previous groups of immigrants (the Germans, the Irish, the Italians) voted Democratic when they were composed heavily of first-generation immigrants living in poor and working-class urban enclaves and relying on a lot of public services and benefits. Individual voters in those groups, as they moved up the economic ladder and assimilated more into American culture, began to see themselves more as part of the American mainstream, with a stake in the system. With that came voting more often for Republicans…

Josh Hammer at NewsWeek opines, The Republican Party's Multiethnic, Working-Class Coalition Is Taking Shape, while Politico hopes The Good News for the GOP Is Only Temporary, "November swung the Republicans’ way, but Gen Z definitely won’t. How the party can win young voters back." As Gen Z grows up and realizes what they get for the their increasing taxes, they'll start to see things the way third generation Hispanics do. 

Nick Arama at Red State points out how Biden Decries Lack of Civility Then Attacks GOP and Insults Americans on 'Tonight Show'. Filed under civility bullshit. Karen Townsend at Haut Hair sees that Peggy Noonan told the truth about Kamala and the left isn't having it. Cactus Jack Garner's (FDR's one term VIP) crack that the vice presidency was "Not Worth a Bucket of Warm Piss" has never been more apropos.

At the Slantic, Quinta Jurecic tries to explain Why the January 6 Investigation Is Weirdly Static

"The House committee can still succeed, but success won't look like what a lot of onlookers are hoping for." It's based on the false premise that Trump (or his staff) encouraged and coordinated the attack. Of course it's not going to work out. They're just all about slinging as much mud as possible until the next election.

“The members of the select committee need to tell the full story of January 6 clearly, publicly and dramatically,” argues Jonathan Bernstein in Bloomberg. “And they’re already very late.” The sense of urgency is all the more pronounced because the House is racing against the clock. With the Republican Party the firm favorite to take control of the chamber during the 2022 midterm elections, the committee will have to plan to finish its work by the end of that year, or risk a likely GOP majority shutting it down. The select committee’s chair, Representative Bennie Thompson, meanwhile, has set an even tighter deadline of “early spring” 2022, before midterm campaign season kicks in.

AP happy that Capitol rioters’ social media posts influencing sentencings. Just wait until it comes back to bite some liberals and they'll be singing a different song. At the same time, people put stupid stuff on the socials.

Joanne Freeman opines at WaPoo, Jan. 6 crossed a line. We need to say so before it’s too late for democracy. "History shows that Congress can’t afford to let the attack go unrebuked" Look, liberals didn't get upset when BLM/Antifa stormed the gates and fences at the White House and the Secret Service forced Trump into the bunker. They thought it was funny!
