11/6/24 – We are surprised by the popular vote, but then again, the polls were misleading and unhelpful.
11/6/24 – To the brilliant people saying the Harris Walz campaign shouldn’t have told voters that a certain evil person is a fascist. Campaign strategy is not our thing. We are in the business of telling the truth as we see it, and that is the truth. We have a moral obligation to warn people of where things are heading. We care about all of our fellow Americans, and we are not going to withhold highly important information for some cynical political calculation. The Democratic Party made numerous mistakes, and once decisions have been made, you have to make the best of them to try to win the election against someone who is entirely unfit for the presidency. There are limits to this though. One of those red lines is withholding information about the dangers the other candidate poses. If the correct campaign strategy were to withhold this information, we still would have focused on it. Also, others can dissect the data, but from the exit polls, that message (protecting democracy) turned out her voters. It just wasn’t enough to convince the other voters who prioritized other things. You could sense that the Democrats were losing this battle, especially with certain segments of the electorate, if you paid any attention to voter sentiment, which the Democratic Party is really good at not doing.
11/6/24 – By the way, if your takeaway from this is, we really should have pandered more to progressives, you really are f—king stupid, and there is no help for you or the Democratic Party. I became an Independent because it refused to have any form of primary, effectively giving its voters the middle finger. Well, the country has given the Democratic Party the middle finger now, hasn’t it.
11/6/24 – This was a foolish decision for those who voted for a certain evil person. However, the Democratic Party and the liberals were not listening to the people. We told you this numerous times, in numerous ways. When moderates and centrists are telling you that your policies are liberal excess and that you should have a primary, and things like that, you really should listen. In any case, you might want to create a plan to leave. It will get that bad…. Or you can stay and fight. It’s obviously a personal choice. Don’t feel bad. You did what you could. The country might not make it, but God is always with us wherever we end up. God loves you. Keep the faith.
11/6/24 – Remember this article. It came out yesterday morning. It infuriated us, but we didn’t have a chance to respond to it, this line in particular: “Then there was the crowd demanding an ‘open process’ to pick the nominee once Biden stepped down. The idea was daft from the start.” We were one of the “daft” ones. We’re not going to say anything more about it because that would be cruel. It is what it is.
Ignoring bad advice is a key to winning
11/5/24 – The Democrats will likely lose the presidential race. It was going to be a very tough election for them to win no matter the ticket, but their original sin was to not have an actual competitive primary and also to allow the progressive wing to have as much influence as it did. Please tell us how daft we are. Good night.
11/5/24 – We’re ready for this election to wrap up. Everybody is exhausted and stressed out. To everyone who did anything to help Harris Walz, thank you! To the people who did a lot, thank you very much! No matter the outcome, we can all hold our heads high. We did what we could, and we did our best. We want to thank, in particular, Kamala Harris. She was put in a tough spot. She worked hard, which is all we could ask. We are proud of her. She is a patriot. Anybody who voted for Harris Walz, on this point, is also a patriot. Let’s pray that God saves us from the evil one. God’s will be done.
11/4/24 – On this eve before election day, our closing argument is this. Sacrifice is sacred. Self-sabotage is stupid. We also understand that there are those who think if they vote for a certain person, they will “own the libs.” We ask you to reconsider the wisdom and the virtue of this goal, and the projection of events to come. Many liberals are well-educated, highly skilled people who can find work elsewhere or withhold their labor or taxes and bring the country to its knees. You only have to look at the brain drain that has occurred throughout the world as their best and brightest fled authoritarian regimes. However, if you’re poorly educated, as much of MAGA is, by definition, you’re more vulnerable to macroeconomic developments, and a certain evil person, who you likely intend to vote for, is more able to enslave you. You might think you’re voting to “own the libs,” when in reality, you’re voting to be owned. For this act of betrayal to your fellow Americans, to our country and to yourselves, you’ll have no one to blame but yourselves. We did our duty as your fellow Americans, and we told you the truth. You were warned.
11/4/24 – To all of the supporters and voters of a certain evil person, we care about you, and we did everything we could to help you see the light. You own your decision for the rest of your lives. Here are a few more articles that you can read and/or listen to and, if you haven’t voted already, we hope will convince you to vote for Harris Walz. They are from people who love our country, and who care about it and all Americans – including you.
Let’s not pretend Democrats don’t engage in culture war issues. They do, and it detracts from the economic issues on which their sense of morality is generally clear and correct. Wealthy Democrats are more likely to vote for higher taxes on higher income earners than Republicans of any class. Why would these Democrats do this, especially when some of their taxes go to the very people who want to “own the libs”? Because they value a society that takes care of its people.
America’s Class Politics Have Turned Upside Down
Why are our brave and patriotic members of the military, who risk their lives to protect us, not suckers and losers, as a certain evil person thinks of them? Because they value a society that protects its people.
Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’
Why are many conservatives unwilling to vote for a certain evil person, who has violated many if not all of their core tenets, and are even willing to vote for the presidential candidate of the opposing party? Because they value country over party.
How to Prevent the Worst from Happening
Sacrifice is sacred. Character takes on many forms, and a country is only as good as the character of its people.
11/3/24 – Democracy
They say democracy dies in darkness
Doublespeak with forked tongues in ancient rhymes
Beats into the hearts of misguided men
Foreign flags raised high, house roofbeams brought low
With broken glass, in hallowed halls there lies
Democracy defiled in broad daylight
From Cain and Abel to the end of time
Man cannot govern without divine light.
11/3/24 – The Second Coming
11/2/24 – Fascism
Turning and turning in the widening chasm
Americans cannot hear Americans
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold
Mere fascism is loosed upon the world
The flood of lies is loosed, and everywhere
The integrity of truth is drowned
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
11/2/24 – The American record continues: Clarence Thomas, traitor. Ginny Thomas, traitor. Samuel Alito, traitor.
11/2/24 – “Mr. Trump’s campaign rhetoric comes ever closer to a textbook definition of fascism, threatening to imprison political opponents and suggesting that unfriendly news outlets should have their broadcast licenses revoked. And as Ms. Cheney points out, the Supreme Court’s ruling earlier this summer that Mr. Trump is immune from criminal prosecution for certain official actions he took while in office may embolden him to test his powers further than he did in his first term.”
Why is the presidential election so close? Here are five reasons.
11/2/24 – Could someone calculate the bills that a certain evil person hasn’t paid? For example, what is the total that his campaign hasn’t paid to the cities in which he holds rallies? Understand what this is. It’s the security and other personnel, ordinary residents, who are not being paid for their labor. Let’s read this again: They are not being paid for their labor. It is a form of wage theft. Do you know why he feels that this is his right? Because a certain person has no value for human beings. He thinks of himself as a king, and he thinks of the rest of us as his peasants and subjects.
11/2/24 – Some supposedly widely cited meme from 2015: “‘I never thought leopards would eat MY face,’ sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.” Krugman says, “It’s hard to explain why this is perfect, but it is.” It is perfect, but it’s not hard to explain. It’s obvious. You just have to use your eyes, your ears and the thing that sits in your skull.

11/2/24 – Some more examples of self-sabotage. Reasons? See below. It’s the same reasons over and over and over again. When you don’t have your priorities in order, you’re f—ked. Please do have a nice day.

11/1/24 – Save our democracy. We’ll fix everything else after that. We will. As God designed it, in the long-run, nature tends toward balance. Have some faith.
11/1/24 – Some more truths. “In the past, I might have written this essay asking fellow faithful Catholics to examine their consciences and figure out how we can best align our voting choices with our values, but instead, I will say only this: As a Catholic, I simply cannot in good conscience vote for Donald Trump…. According to the Guttmacher Institute, the annual number of abortions actually went up by 11 percent from 2020 to 2023, the first full year after Roe v. Wade was overturned. So rather than protecting the unborn, I would argue that this Supreme Court has done more to protect Mr. Trump.” Ouch. “Focusing on a person’s dignity and well-being through access to health care and education helps families thrive and has a trickle-down effect on the unborn. I call it ‘supply-side pro-life!’… This faith calls us to care for the marginalized and to uphold the dignity of every person. It calls us to work for a future that is rooted in love and justice. It calls us to insist on leadership that aligns with the values we hold sacred. While we are going to continue to advocate for the dignity of the unborn, let’s admit Ms. Harris has Catholic cred on other important issues. Advocating for policies that support working families, a big deal in Catholic social teaching? Check. Affordable health care? Check. Family leave? Yes, please. Her focus on environmental issues aligns nicely with Pope Francis’ call to care for our common home in ‘Laudato Si’. And on immigration, even though her primary campaign message on this has been cracking down on asylum claims, she’s been firm about providing humane policies and a pathway to citizenship, which the Catholic Church has long supported.”
Jeannie Gaffigan: Harris isn’t perfect. But as a Catholic and a mom, I cannot vote for Trump.
11/1/24 – The dominance of white liberals in the Democratic Party is ruining it. Those people are out there for many people, especially almost all minorities, not just black people, who are generally more socially conservative. Also, the simmering gender wars need to stop. It’s counterproductive. Men need women, and women need men. We have different strengths and weaknesses, and we complement each other as God designed it. The way to court men, black, white, whoever, is simply to tell them the truth. They have value as men, and we need them as they are. The problem is that white liberals have lost touch with some fundamental aspects of reality and human beings, such as gender differences are real and also helpful as they are. Instead of the culture wars crap, which are often the luxuries of bored well-to-do white people who desperately need attention to be focused on their “fragility” while other people are genuinely struggling to survive, there should be more focus on “kitchen table” issues, such as economic policies tailored to poor and lower middle-class people of all races. This is a moral imperative. The culture wars are not.
11/1/24 – Let’s speak some truths, shall we. Let’s start with something simple – self-sabotage is stupid. Anybody who is not a favored kleptocrat and votes for a certain evil person is effectively engaging in an act of personal self-destruction, not to mention destruction of our democracy. This is obvious on its face since once you lose free and fair elections, you become an oppressed slave. So, they can all justify their votes with some mirage of, “He cares about people like me…,” or “I was better under…,” but they will regret that inaccurate assessment once they realize that they got conned. The only thing that really matters is that the evil one is, well, evil, a fascist and will destroy our democracy. Everything else is moot. That’s the truth, no matter its political resonance. Some truths that must be spoken might not register because people are too focused on stupid s—t, but they still need to be spoken. More examples of self-sabotage are to come.
