So COVID update.

This is a map of county wide hospitalizations. If you have paid attention the last few weeks, this map is getting darker, and the darkness is moving north across the board.
Another variation that maps 'danger'...again, the purple colors are worrisome. See PA, OH, IN, IL, NoCA, OR...its moving north.
This shows county increase in hospitalizations. This is a little skewed because some of the counties are so small...but you get the idea.
The US overall decreased by 7%. But states are starting to clearly see surges.

ND, ID, ME and my home state of OH clearly in the midst of the surge.
Lets look at PA. Kind of a purple state, kind of a NE/Midwest state. They got hit pretty hard last year, so fair amount of endemic immunity. They are right in the middle of vaccination rates at 56% totally vaccinated.

And...yeah. They are clearly seeing a surge.
Another state: MA.

One of the highest natural immunity and vaccinated states in the nation.

And they look like they are about a week or two behind PA.

This is coming for everyone. Batten the hatches.

THE SOUTH WAS NOT UNIQUE OR SURPRISING.

Every couple decades or so, a political party complete deludes itself, is tone deaf, and then self immolates.

That is what the Democrats just did.

The fact they did this in the face of a threat from Trump just goes to show how stupid our political elites always are.
Trump won for a simple reason: He is politically smarter than Dems politically. Its the same reason Clinton, Bush, Obama won in the past; he is just better at politics than his opponents.
Trump should have never won in 2016, but stayed the course, and Hillary was stupid.

Trump would've won in 2020 if not for a once in a century global pandemic.

And this year, in the face of a mentally questionable President and a untrusted Vice President, easily won.

Who is responsible for the Democrats' complete face plant?

5. DEI/Woke
4. Media
3. Antisemitic Left
2. Kamala Harris
1. Joe Biden
Nobody is more to blame than Joe Biden.

He promised to be a bridge to the future.

Instead in his arrogance he thought he could be a modern FDR, a transformative figure. What a joke.
Biden's failure to step aside, and to allow the Party to choose a successor, was a historic error, a selfish moment of personal privilege that cost the country greatly.

It is his legacy.

My problem with Biden's response to the vast surge in antisemitism on his watch is that his statements have been fine, but followed up with almost zero specific action by his administration. He has done as little as Trump did after Charlottesville.
Frankly, Biden and AG Merrick Garland have acted far, FAR more aggressively against conservative groups.

See how they responded to critics of schools. They were right to do this...but we've seen nothing of the sort against anti-semites. Why?

apnews.com/article/educat…
Let's see Garland's 'memo' targeting anti-semitic groups, largely pro-Palestinian ones, and then I might believe they are treating this threat reasonably.

We've seen no such response.

Again, I rhetorically ask the question: Why?

We all know why.

Democrats are really, truly going to be stupid enough to let Donald Trump win, aren't they?

They are completely oblivious and trying to lose.

Let me count the ways:
1. Biden's age.

This is pretty obvious at this point. They are denying the reality of Biden's physical and mental decline. Voters see it.
2. Polling

Biden himself has said that the polls 'were wrong'. They aren't wrong. They are probably relatively accurate. Best case scenario, Biden is tied with a convicted, impeached opponent. Worst case, he is losing to that same clown.

The problem is that Biden is always wandering. This is not a unique moment. The media knows this, but since they are so dishonest, they have no credibility at all.

We are not having an honest discussion about Biden's health, period. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Again, which major publication has talked about this?

Certainly not @washingtonpost .

They still can't admit they 100% got it wrong. They weren't even a little bit correct. They were as wrong as calling the Earth flat. Image
"The issue was always whether the material was part of a foreign effort to influence the election — as had occurred four years before."

Um, no.

The issue was whether the media including @pbump and @washingtonpost would investigate it properly.

They didn't. They failed.
"The issue at the time of the New York Post report was in part that the material might not be authentic."

But they didn't report "Oh, it MIGHT be inauthentic."

They reported it was LITERALLY INAUTHENTIC, and then used Democrat liars to back that up.
