Let’s start with a little good news today: racial arsonist and professional mean-spirited dullard Cori Bush is out!
Bush became the second Squad member – after Jamaal Bowman, the guy who despite being a middle school principal for years, never figured out how a fire alarm works – to get whipped in a Democrat primary. Thus raising the collective IQ of the Democrat party, in both cases.
(But wow, talk about damning with faint praise!)
Bush reacted to her loss by hollering like a lunatic and blaming the evil Joooos!
Unexpectedly!
Hilariously enough, she also suggested that, in the words of one media report, “she is no longer bound to the decorum of Congress.” Because what word do you think of when you hear the name “Cori Bush?”
That’s right: decorum.
She put it more colorfully, and more ungrammatically. “AIPAC, I’m coming to tear your kingdom down. [All you did was take] some of the strings off. They about to see this other Cori, this other side.”
We’ve seen all sides of you, Cori, and they all hideous. (See what happened there? If you listen to Bush for more than a few seconds, you begin to lose the ability to properly conjugate verbs.)
So good riddance to bad racists.
Turning to another topic, I’ve noticed that the Walz pick is a kind of a funhouse mirror reflection of the Vance pick. Both choices have some surface similarities. Neither one was the most strategically smart pick, in that they don’t obviously (or at least potentially) add voters to the ticket, and they double-down on their party’s prez’s perceived image.
JD is seen as having similar strengths to Trump’s – quick on his feet, eager for a fight – with possibly a little more polish, and a counter-programming up-from-poverty biography. I thought that popular VA governor Youngkin would have been a more balancing pick, increasing the chances of getting VA’s electoral votes, and introducing a less pugilistic and abrasive style that’s more likely to attract people who like Trump’s policies but not his personality.
Walz, as widely discussed, is as far left as Kamala, and brings no new voters to the ticket, as opposed to Shapiro, who might’ve brought PA with him. Shapiro was also perceived as more moderate – he IS more moderate than Walz, though that’s like saying Bernie Sanders is more moderate than Fidel Castro – and so could have reinforced the Dems’ and MSM’s totally dishonest branding of Que Mala as NOT the extreme leftist that she obviously is.
So each pick was a matter of “steering into the skid” for both Trump and Harris.
But the VP nominees also have huge differences.
Vance is competent and smart, with an impressive resume and at least a logical means of appealing to votes Trump needs, via his blue collar background. Walz’s record shows that he’s not competent, and after just a preliminary examination, his veneer of normalcy and accomplishment – football coach, teacher, hunter, long military career – crumbles to reveal something entirely different.
Vance also reflects who Trump actually is, whereas Walz undermines the messaging about who Kamala is.
Additionally, look at the avenues of attack. The left, digging as hard as they can, have found only three attack lines against Vance: the fake couch story, the childless cat lady comment, and the “weird” label. The first is a proven lie, now admitted to by the leftist troll who wrote and posted the fake “excerpt” from Hillbilly Elegy that leftist liars are now repeating. Because they suck.
The second is a pretty harmless joke, made in the context of supporting an essential behavior necessary for the survival of a healthy country: more people need to form stable households and have more kids.
And the third is evidence of the left’s desperation, and a textbook case of projection. Calling someone “weird” over and over again – sans any reasonable examples or evidence – is something you’d expect from a bunch of grade school bullies who are feral in the way that all creepy, peer-pressure-influenced cliques of kids can be feral.
Except that these creeps are highly paid, grown-ass adults with influential jobs.
To quote the late Joe Biden – What’s happened to that guy lately, by the way? Has anybody seen him? – think about it:
If the left had any legitimate grounds on which to attack Vance, do you think they’d be resorting to this schoolyard, “He’s a weirdo!” taunting? If Vance had been caught driving drunk at over 90 mph and then tried to get out of it by claiming that he was deaf, for example, do you think they’d be going with the mean “cat lady” joke?
If he’d lied about his military service, or presided over riots and crime and population flight from his failing state, or supported hugely unpopular policies like destroying our borders or castrating children, do you think the “weirdo” label would be their main focus?
Walz, on the other hand, has the glaring flaws mentioned above. Plus, he’s the one who came up with the “weird” tag for Vance, but he is himself deeply strange.
The guy loves communist China as much as Eric Swalwell likes Chicom honeytraps. He picked the date of his wedding because it was the date of the Tiananmen Square Massacre (!), and he chose to honeymoon in that suffering country. (Shades of Bernie Sanders honeymooning in the Soviet Union! I don’t think it’s coincidental that these guys get aroused when in close proximity to a hugely powerful government oppressing regular people.)
He’s creepily gleeful about letting confused kids who are either mentally ill or influenced by a social contagion to make permanently damaging sexual alterations to their bodies against their parents’ will. And his weirdo wife – he tried to give her a hearty handshake rather than a hug or kiss after his nomination, because who can feel amorous when there’s no weeping victims in a gulag nearby? – was giddy about BLM rioting and burning the property of others, saying that she left her windows open so she could smell the smoke from burning tires.
If THAT doesn’t scream “weirdo!” at you, your weirdometer is broken!
Speaking of wives, JD has an Indian wife – pardon me, “a wife of color” – and biracial children. One leftist idiot on MSNBC – it was Molly Jong-Fast, but you’d need a program to be able to tell one moron from another on that network – claimed that his pro-child stance was actually a racist dog whistle, because he clearly only wants more white children.
Which means that she either didn’t know who his wife and children are – in other words, she’s an incredibly lazy journalist — or she is weapons-grade stupid.
Or, to be fair, possibly both.
Since that pathetic smear attempt went over like a John Wayne film festival at a Liz Warren family reunion (#wemustneverstopmockingher), nobody on the left has mentioned JD’s family again, as far as I know.
In summary, the biggest problem the Dems have with Vance is finding a legitimate problem with him to focus on, while the biggest problem the GOP has with Walz is choosing which of his massive liabilities to focus on.
One editorial note: I keep spelling Walz’s name as “Wolz,” for some reason. I had to correct it several times in this column, and I couldn’t understand why.
But then I remembered: it all goes back to one of the top 5 movies of all time, The Godfather. The name of the movie producer who resists giving Johnny Fontane a lead role in an upcoming movie is Jack Woltz, and I think I’ve subconsciously associated his creepiness with whatever is off about Tampon Tim Walz.
On a related note, while it would be truly horrifying to wake up with a horse’s head in your bed, it would be much worse to be woken up by Que Mala’s horse laugh in your bed.
I don’t know how Willie Brown handled it.
Hamas delenda est!
