In this segment, I begin with a personal story, a recent experience that left my thoughts about the urban Black culture validated beyond any doubt. We then address the current US and Israeli military action in Iran, which is increasingly seeing Iran pitted against not only the US and Israel, but their brethren Islamic nations in the Middle East; China and Russia, for the most part, silent.
And lastly, I address the complete misrepresentation of Kristi Noem’s move to Special Presidential Envoy to Shield of the America’s. A more perfect example of how the Republicans suck at crafting the narrative has seldom been seen.
We take up this issue…at The Corner of the Bar.
In closing, I wanted to touch on a news item that validates my concern about Republican voter turnout in the midterms.
In the primaries in Texas and North Carolina, Democrats–or those voting for Democrats–turned out to vote in greater numbers than did Republicans. In Texas, this happened even with a heated primary for John Cornyn’s seat. In North Carolina, a Democrat whose campaign literature had her dressed in a burqa, won a Republican primary seat because she went unopposed in that race.
This type of apathy on the political Right is not going to win the midterms. And what is really shocking is that both these turnout defeats came in traditionally Red states.
I can’t express how unacceptable this is. Additionally, I can’t express more urgently how we need to turn out, not just for the midterms and the general elections, but for every single election from dog catcher to President. It’s about momentum. It’s about sending the undeniable signal that we are here, haven’t gone anywhere, and are committed to the cause.
As it stands, we are not committed to the cause, which means a bolstered Democrat opposition. When we don’t turn out, Democrats and their Marxist handlers see that as a signal of things to come, and it supercharges their commitment to turnout.
Why is turnout important? Why is sending a consistent signal to the Far-Left that we are committed to the cause so fucking important? Because the Marxist-Left is playing the long game. They believe they can wait out Trump’s four years and then pounce at the polls. We need to send clear messages at every opportunity that this is not the case; that we haven’t gone anywhere, and that our numbers are solid and growing.
What’s hanging in the balance? Free speech and freedom to practice your religion. The possibility (if Congress ever gets off its lazy asses and codifies Trump’s spending cuts into law) of a reduced deficit and a balanced budget. The continuation of a solid jobs market. Lower inflation (which means a stronger dollar for you and me). Secure borders and freedom from the oppressive far-Left agenda and all things DEI. We will return to the big government of the oligarchic elite and will be governed not by our elected representatives, but by the globalist crowd, seething for vengeance, as Susan Rice arrogantly guaranteed.
This is why turning out is so damn important. There are no insignificant races because all politics is local. Turning out for the midterms is an absolute must. Make an unbreakable vow to yourself today to vote in the midterms, and make sure your family and friends of like mind do the same. No more celebrating the 2024 election. If MAGA is going to mean anything beyond the Trump years, we must focus on 2026 and 2028. Otherwise, it’s all been a flash-in-the-pan exercise in political masturbation.
