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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

I think one thing a lot of people don't realize is Palestine isn't alone as a British protectorate that was never an independent country before the Brits left.

India ALSO DID NOT EXIST BEFORE PARTITION IN 1947. There was no 'India', in any real terms. India was divided by numerous British protectorates or provinces. There was no 'India', as a nation. This was basically true of Palestine as well...there was no independent Palestine before division. Image

I think this article largely misses the point. The reason that they are struggling is that this undermines what they've taught about racism and bigotry for 50 years.

Why Colleges Are Struggling To Crack Down on Antisemitism via @politicopoliti.co/3ucgtsE Reality is that it was always easy: Whites and those in power were the bigots. Those that were 'Almost White' (Jews, Asians) were lumped in.

But in this episode, its largely 'brown' people like myeslf that are the bigots, and their targets are Jews (who are viewed as White).

Again, if you are destroying other people's posters, then you are trying to suppress those people's free speech.

At that point, if you get shamed in public, and your family and employer know who you are, I have ZERO sympathy for you.

You want to go and protest, go ahead. I would never hire anyone that acted like this. Neither should you.

Welcome to my TedX talk.

Understand this:

"SCREAMING 'FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA' IS CALLING FOR THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF JEWS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST...AND IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN NAZI OR KKK CHANTS."

Thank you for coming to my TedX talk.

And no, we don't have to accept the Palestinian narrative on this, anymore than accepting KKK's narrative on stuff.

Palestinians have a right to their own country. They have been denied that right for too long.

But what they absolutely don't have a right to? ETHNIC CLEANSING.

Christians did a huge amount of colonizing over the Millenia, no question.

But the next biggest group to blame? MUSLIMS.

Their colonization in Northern Africa, Europe, India and the rest of Asia as colonizers had huge repercussions. I mean, if you want to talk about colonizers, then most of Northern India, Pakistan, Afghanistan (which was Hindu at one point) etc needs to be under discussion.

How stupid would that be?

They did let Hirohito remain in power.

That said, unconditional surrender of both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan allowed the America to build a better World for the future. We are better off for it. @VanWagoner history.howstuffworks.com/historical-fig…

My dad came to this country with literally less than $100 in his pocket.

Maybe...just maybe...you are making the wrong life choices.

And I say that as someone trying to be empathetic. My dad had an undergrad degree in Engineering...from India. That is it. He came here, in 1969 (when people his color was still treated the way those people were treated back then), came to DC, got a job and paid for his M.S. at George Washington.

Why does Biden hate the LGBTQ community?

(Using literally the same standard people attacking me for saying the same thing this morning...) This is going to backfire on the White House, and I'm buying more popcorn to enjoy the whole show...

I heard lot of issues with this policy, and when I read up on it had some of the same concerns. Biden's policy makes efforts to fight antisemitism MORE DIFFICULT.

Biden's 'antisemitism strategy' harms efforts to protect Jews washingtonexaminer.com/news/bidens-an… "But most of the recommendations are simply the government telling itself to mention antisemitism in the course of routine training and other activities, a legitimization of DEI that only strengthens its hold on policy in the long term."

If there are any adults left in the White House (the scary part is there might not be) they all know the 14th amendment option is not only insane, but would be more damaging than default ultimately. Even Biden's comments today are more about placating the wackadoodle Left than any serious consideration on this.

Even Biden thinks it's insane in his heart.

@dp_dispatch Image I'm so happy for this kid. He's had a ton of injuries, especially last year. He's worked hard and fought hard to get where he is.

That's all I can ask as a father.

🥲

There is a 0.0% chance that this Supreme Court would approve the President invoking the 14th amendment to violate the debt ceiling.

ZERO.

Hell...I am not sure Sotomayor and Kagan wouldn't agree with conservatives on that. Probably not, but possible.

6-3 against at worst. In short, Biden knows that SCOTUS would slap him down like so fast that his head would spin, and thus he would accomplish nothing but create more chaos. Like I've said before, the 14th amendment solution would be WORSE THAN DEFAULTING...and default would be plenty bad.

This keeps happening. The Left labels innocent bystanders racists, try to destroy their IRL and social media lives, and after the fact, do nothing to apologize for their completely lies and failures.

More media madness: fake racism edition hotair.com/david-strom/20… Lets see if this clown, who said this woman was hiding yesterday, will hide from the facts.

Just lets way and see how long it takes for her to apologize for her falsehoods. My guess: She'll never apologize, because she is in fact the coward.

Those that wave this fact away simply never will, nor never did care, about corruption and ethics. They only care about increasing political power.

Millions flowed to Biden family members. Don’t pretend it doesn’t matter. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/… "Confronted with the Comer report, Dems scream, “What about Ivanka Trump’s trademarks in China, or Trump and Kushner profiting from Saudi investors?” And they’re right to object...intermingling of personal financial interests...is absolutely fair game in the 2024 election."
