Well, Team Blue Really Wants To Go There

Democrats in Blue states are gallivanting around removing Trump from the ballot in Illinois, Colorado, and elsewhere on the specious grounds that he committed insurrection when he has never been charged nor convicted of such.

Thus is a rather dumb interpretation and application of the 14th Amendment for many reasons, and also shortsighted on the part of the Democrats in the Blue States involved short-sightedly thinking such would never happen to their candidate.

After all, following the same logic of the Blue States, Red States are free, if they so choose, to also take a novel application of 14th Amendment, Section 3 and disqualify Joe Biden from the ballot in their states.

After all, Section 3 states:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

President Joe Biden indeed has demonstrably provided aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States:

$6 billion worth of aid and comfort to Iran, and even before that insanity, he also removed sanctions from Iran.  Iran, a country that is a sworn enemy of the United States, has committed acts of terrorism against Americans, and has directly and through surrogates attacked US military personnel.  This is the same country that annually has demonstrations where they shout "Death to America" - and mean it.

Joe Biden had also removed the Houthis from the terrorism list, again providing aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States.  These are the same Houthis whose slogan is:  God Is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam.

Verily, it will be much easier to prove that President Biden has given aid or comfort to the enemies of the United States than proving that former President Trump had engaged in insurrection. If the Red States apply the same standards and "logic" that  the Blue states have applied, removing Biden form their ballots will be a cinch.

As such, it wouldn't take much for Red States to decided turnabout is fair play and start removing Biden on the grounds he has violated the 14th Amendment.

This of course would be stupid. 

I really can't recommend such a course of behavior, but since Democrats insist on playing stupid games, game theory dictates that turnabout is indeed fair play.  Should the Supreme Court not decide that the removal of Trump from the ballot is incorrect, having the Red States take this action may be the only way to get them to knock it off. 

Of course, this can have some bad unintended consequences, but the Blue States are already indulging in this bad behavior.

In short, should the Supreme Court not have the Blues knock this gamesmanship off, the Blue states should show some restraint and knock it off themselves before the Red states decide that two can play that game.

Trump Acquitted Again

Yet another sham impeachment brought to a close with the appropriate result of an acquittal. 

Expect "peaceful protests", riots and property damage as a result.

On the upside the continuous snowfall we're having right now should tamp the enthusiasm for such lawlessness down a bit in this area.

Seriously Governor Half-Whit? Mass BLM Protests Good - Trump Rallies Bad

Our dear Governor Half-Whit seems to have issues with the First Amendment, at least when it comes to Republicans.

The Detroit News: Whitmer would consider trying to block Trump rally in Michigan

So, after our Governor joined a mass political rallies, while both wearing and not wearing a mask, our dear Governor Whitmer is now concerned that political rallies may spread the Wu-Flu and should be prohibited, but only if those rallies are for Republicans.

Apparently, according to Governor Half-White's wanting to , the virus is woke enough to know the difference between a BLM rally, which is good and where the governor could be elbow to elbow with people while not wearing a mask, and a Pro-Trump rally which of course would be bad.

Someone still clearly wants to be VP.

Viewpoint discrimination much? Can't wait to see if she actually tries to block a Trump rally.

It's Been A Rough Week For The Dems

First, the Democrat Iowa was a cluster-fisk of the first magnitude, and we still don't have the full results yet.

Second, Trump's State of The Union was outstanding, with petulant Democrats including Pelosi acting like little kids with tantrums - tearing up a speech for the TV? Really? - In the face of his accomplishments and his celebration of Americans.

Third, Trump is now acquitted of both of the bogus impeachment charges

Fourth, Trump's approval rating has hit a record high this week.

And it's only Wednesday.

The FBI Arrests One Of The Perpetrators of Wave Of Anti-Semitic Bomb Threats.......And He's A Hard Leftist

Much to the chagrin of the leftists online and elsewhere claiming that the wave aof bomb threats are somehow Trump's fault or the actions of white supremacists, we have the first arrest so far.

Here's what he looks like:

Doesn't look like your typical white supremacist, neh?

Turns out he's quite the hard leftist as can be seen under his byline at The Intercept, where he was apparently fired after making stuff up...badly...and getting caught doing it.

In other words he fits the profile of the bug-bear white supremacist Trumpster perfectly...or not.

Apparently many of the robo/VOIP calls making the threats are reported in the article to come from overseas, again not something for which one should blame Trump. This is especially so if the callers have either charming Arabic or Persian accents, or more traditionally a Germanic one.

Good job to the FBI for tracking this guy down.

So What Were They Protesting Anyways?

Verily it seemed that the women's marches were nothing more than collective tantrums of the left after Hillary lost. Much sound and pink fury, signifying nothing.

After all, Trump had barely been in office a day before they were off congratulating themselves on marching against things he has yet to do and likely won't do anyways. Heck, leftist women around the world were marching to protest his election - which is rather ironic when you think about all these same leftists complaining of alleged outside forces influencing the election of Trump by the exposing of Democrat malfeasance.

In any case it is truly kinda hard to take them seriously when they're dressed like this:

Sorry but while allegedly marching for women's rights as a whole, dressing as if you're one particular body part is rather short-sighted, pathetic and just plain stupid not to mention counter to the concept that real women are more than just said body part.

I think Trump, just like Voltaire. asked God to make his enemies ridiculous, and God granted his request.

The Muslimas Who Cried "Trump"

In this age of progressive hate and rage, we have the specter of a plethora of fake and staged "hate crimes" against muslims:

In Lousisiana: HotAir: Police: Reported crime against woman in Muslim headscarf was a hoax

A young Muslim woman claimed she was attacked and robbed of her headscarf and wallet by two men, one of whom wore a Trump hat, but police are now saying it was a hoax. The attack supposedly took place in Louisiana where the woman is a student.

In New York: NY Post: De Blasio says he’s ‘really angry’ about Muslim teen’s attack tale

Seweid, 18, of North New Hyde Park in Nassau County on Long Island, admitted to cops Wednesday that she’d made up a story of being accosted on a subway on Dec. 1 by three white drunks who called her a terrorist, taunted, “Donald Trump!” and tried to pull off her headscarf.

The Baruch College business major told cops she’d actually been out drinking with friends and lied about the attack to distract her strict Islamic father, who’d been furious over her being out late, sources told The Post.

In Ann Arbor: The Detroit News: Police: Woman who was told to remove hijab was lying

A University of Michigan student whose story was reported worldwide was not telling the truth when she told police she was threatened by a man who told her to remove her hijab and could now face felony charges for filing a false report, Ann Arbor police said Wednesday.

The woman told police that the man would set her on fire with a lighter if she did not remove her hijab, a headscarf worn by Muslim women, so she complied then fled the area of East William near State Street. Her story appeared in global publications last month couched as a hate crime following the win of President-elect Donald Trump.

But her report did not add up after Ann Arbor and UM police and the FBI interviewed multiple witnesses and reviewed video surveillance in the area of the alleged incident, said Detective Sgt. Matthew Lige of the Ann Arbor Police Department.

“This crime never happened,” Lige said.

Note that all of these false reports received very favorable and uncritical initial press treatment as this fit the media and Democrats' narrative far too well: All those evil Trump-supporting, cousin-humping haters were going out committing hate crimes in the wake of his winning. Apparently not so much as so many of these supposed hate crimes keep coming up as either false, staged, or by Muslims and directed at other groups while trying to sell it as a Trump supporter's acts.

If it weren't for fake hate crimes against and perpetrated by Muslims, there might very well be damn few hate crimes against them at all. False reports in the wake of Trump's victory certainly seem to be skyrocketing.

That's It! Three Strikes And She's Out!

First Strike: Losing the election.

Second Strike: Losing the recount led by her cats-paw Jill Stein, wiht the recount actually revealing Democrat-led fraud in Detroit and elsewhere (Ironic that a claim of fraud revealed fraud by those who claimed it was occurring, neh?).

Third Strike: Electoral College confirms Trump in face of Democrat pressure to overturn the election (Yes the same electoral college Democrats were complaining about in 1 above the Democrats were then trying by hook or by crook to use to overthrow the election - ironic, isn't it?).

Indeed, the Democrats last stand in Michigan to stop the electors voting for Trump was solidly crushed by reality.

Perhaps the Dems can now move on to the next stage of grief - depression, followed by acceptance as their rather epic episodes of denial, anger, and bargaining (if you call threats of violence bargaining) certainly haven't gotten them anywhere.

Special Snowflakes Sure Are Fragile

Yes, Facebook is still going full bug-house nuts with the wailing and passive-aggressive threats of disappointed Hillary voters.

College campuses not to be outdone as bastions of leftist group-think have gone into emergency mode to counsel the many special snowflakes aggrieved by the loss.

Michigan's bastions of higher ed are no exception with their supposed leaders of tomorrow reaching for their binkies and crayons to cope with the loss the media told them could not happen.

PJ Media: U. of Michigan Gives Students Play-Doh, Coloring Books to Cope With Trump

Yes, Play-Doh and crayons for students paying tuition of $28,776 plus taxpayer subsidies per year for undergrad at an elite university.

Freep: MSU hosting events for students devastated by Trump win

Michigan State is one of at least two colleges in Michigan dedicating staff and resources to help students and faculty deal with the outcome of the presidential election.

Around 300 people attended and many shared their fears and anxieties of a Trump presidency at the Eli Broad College of Business Wednesday night in an event organized by college administrators.

Counselors and staff at the University of Michigan-Flint were made available Wednesday to address student concerns, and students at colleges across the country, including UCLA and the University of Texas-Austin, marched and protested Wednesday.

Wednesday event, hosted by MSU’s Office of Student Affairs and Services, is one of three MSU-sponsored events planned. On Monday and Tuesday, the MSU Union will have “healing spaces” where students will have the opportunity to discuss how the campus community can come together after a long and divisive election season.

Your parents paying $14,880 a year for your tuition and all they got was a participation trophy.

The Spartans of old are spinning in their graves to think their descendants bearing their names have come to this.

Funnily enough, I don't recall news of any such sessions being held in 2008 or 2012. Conservatives must be made of sterner stuff.

Good to know their logo from 2000 still works:

America Dodged The Delete Key Last Night

The Detroit News: Donald Trump elected 45th president in stunning upset

A Quick Question - If Trump Was A Stalking Horse For Hillary Acting To Throw The Election Her Way . . . . .

How would Trump be acting any differently?

This is a ridiculously winnable election after eight years of Obama

The Democrats have put forth a scandal-ridden, constantly lying, tired, barely unindicted due to politics alone, Democrat candidate that most people would crawl through broken glass to vote against whose only appeal is the historic first that would be a female president and who, without the machinations from her party faithful, would have lost her primary to an aged communist.

The multitude of issues that can be used on a daily basis to hammer her many failings are legion.

And we get the one candidate that is instead making a busy spectacle of himself with the media focused, with his encouragement, on his multiple failings, scandals, and outrageous and stupid statements, with the result of driving hers completely out of the spotlight.

Trump seems to be in the act of throwing it big time with so many unforced errors and faux pas that it's a good and valid question as to whether he's doing this on purpose.

Add to this his flip-flopping on multiple positions, with many of his policy pronouncements turning from either over the top exaggerated caricatures of conservative positions that are then modified towards a Democrat or Democrat-lite policy, or policies only a RINO could love, and you have to ask what the heck is he actually doing, and why?

The Hindus and Hindon'ts For Candidate Trump

The general consensus in the US this election cycle seems to be "Heaven Help Us".

In India, those in favor of Trump's candidacy have now one-upped that generalized sentiment. They've now held a ceremony requesting divine intervention in his favor.

The Detroit News: Indian Hindus ask gods to help Trump

This 2016 Presidential Election is certainty going to provide lots of entertainment worldwide.
