Watching the Destruction of the Democrat Party

​

We are beginning to see real cracks in what was the party of FDR, Truman and JFK. This may be the beginning of the end of the traditional Democrat Party.

The recent movement to the left by the Socialists who seem to preach about the ills in our society are dominating the message being heard by the people. But traditionalists like Bill Maher and James Carville are calling out the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) by sounding the alarm that the party is being hijacked.

Even  former Jill Biden press secretary Michael LaRosa said he won’t support Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, citing the candidate’s refusal to distance himself from far-left streamer Hasan Piker over his past remarks about the September 11 terrorist attacks.

LaRosa, who served as press secretary to former first lady Jill Biden, made the unusually sharp break with his party in a post responding to reports that he was supporting Republican Mike Rogers over El-Sayed. 

Bill Maher offered that with with this latest craze by some Democrats to vote for people like Mamdani and El-Sayed, he would be inclined to vote for Sarah Palin if she ran. And  long-time Democrat strategist Jim Carville said that the political tent was not big enough to house the DSA.

As Maher said on his show, “You know what else is in the big tent? Clowns.” And an image of clowns and Gavin Newscum appear suddenly on the screen.

Democrats need to rise up this year and yank their party back from the precipice or the party will be lost. The DSA will have destroyed their noble goals forever.

We Can Be Sure Change Is Coming

​

We are well into the Florida primary season, as early voting commenced earlier this week. The Florida Primary day is officially August 18.

Also, school starts this coming week on August 10. While we are still in the midst of one of the hottest summers in several years, sadly for our kids, it is time to ring those school bells again.

We are approaching the 40% mark in the 2026 Hurricane Season and thankfully, no significant storm sightings are yet seen on the horizon.

Soon enough, we will begin the slow turn to fall which will mark more seasonable temperatures, pleasant days and soft nights. And in just a few short weeks later, early voting will commence for the midterms, which looks like a doozy.

So, get ready to enjoy the one thing we are sure to count on: change. Change of weather; change of seasons; and maybe, a change in our House and Senate.

One thing is for sure, people. We are in for a ride.

Will Justice Be Served?

​The die may have been cast last week for the disgraced Dr Anthony Fauci. But unlike most Democrats and those others on the left, or even Republicans looking for some sense of COVID justice, that die was cast only by that doctor of perversity by his own hubris. In his diaries.

He has been subpoenaed by three state attorneys general who are investigating whether he promulgated health guidance for “personal profit.”

Florida AG James Ultheimer has joined an investigation, along with AGs from Louisiana, Liz Murill, and West Virginia, John McCluskey, into Dr Fauci, former National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director, following Fauci’s explosive decision to invoke his Fifth Amendment right and not answer any questions during a congressional hearing last  Wednesday.

“Fauci’s lack of candor to Congress is unbelievable. My office is launching an investigation into Dr. Fauci. It’s past time we get the truth of what happened during COVID,” Uthmeier wrote in a Wednesday post on X.

“Fauci’s diary focused more on self-promotion than the legitimate safety concerns from the mRNA vaccines. While Fauci was pushing for book deals, awards, and fortune and fame, Floridians were being deceived and harmed by his misrepresentations.”

The request followed Sen. Rand Paul’s release last month of Fauci’s personal diaries, which had been made between 2019 and 2022 and preserved on government computers at the Department of Health and Human Services.

“What we know already is Fauci lied, we just don’t know yet how much,” Murrill claimed. “But he lied about something as basic as keeping a diary.”

To top all of this off, Senator Rand Paul’s Senate Homeland Security Committee voted along party lines Thursday to hold Fauci in contempt for refusing to answer questions about the prize money, COVID lockdowns, US funding for so-called “gain of function” research on viruses, or the possible origins of the pandemic.

The chairman is seeking to have the contempt resolution certified by Vice President JD Vance in his role as president of the Senate, forgoing a full chamber vote and delivering the request for prosecution directly to DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office.

Sometimes, one must learn patience to see how events play out over the long term. Maybe this will be one of those times.

A Special Stearns Song

​

Now that the MLB Trade Deadline is in the rear view mirror, we can look to see what the result portends for the Mets. It is ugly.

During the last off-season, Boy Genius  Stearns gave away the core of the team, in Alonso, McNeil, Diaz and Nimmo. To replace them, he brought back Peralta, Semien, Bichette and Polanco.

Well, Peralta is gone now, Polanco has been absent and both Semien and Bichette have had sub-par performance. All of them will be free agents at the end of this season.

And while the Boy Wonder has made a proclamation that the deadline moves have a return of players who would help the Mets compete in 2027, any knowledgable fan knows he is blowing smoke and is hoping you can’t smell or see it.

By the way, it is rumored that it was Peralta who managed to broker the peace between Lindor and Soto, who made no secret they disliked or disrespected each other. And, poof! now he is gone.

Good move, Smart@$$!

So, we can cheer Benge, Ewing, McLean and maybe Thornton to give us some shining moments, and perhaps, witness one or all of them in the Rookie of the Year battles in November. And watch as Carlos Beltran has his number retired in September, 

But for the rest of this lost season, it will take a miracle to win 70 games. At least the season can’t be as bad as 1962, 1963, 1964, 1977, or 1993. Can it? We hope not,

And as for the Boy Genius, with his smug grin, maybe it time to sing a special song as he thinks about packing his bags to send him off to the sunset.

How does “Nananana, Heyheyhey, Goodbye” sound?

As always, Let’s Go Mets!

Calling Out Iran’s Latest Scam

​Do you remember when you were a child playing a game called chicken? You know, when you were dared to do something, and when you didn’t, you were called “Chicken”?

Or, as an adult, a reckless dare where two drivers speed directly toward each other or down the center line of a road. The driver who swerves or brakes first is publicly mocked as the coward ("chicken").

Or, political standoffs, such as budget battles or nuclear deterrence (like the Cuban Missile Crisis), where nations push to the brink of conflict hoping the other blinks first.

Now, the Islamic Regime flat-out rejected President Trump’s claim that new negotiations were due to get underway later Monday, with officials stating that no talks were taking place or scheduled.

Trump told reporters en route to Washington Sunday night that he had called off a planned “massive attack” on Iran at the request of US partners in the region, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.

“They thought that a deal is imminent,” said the president, later adding: “Now what we’re doing is talking to them [Iran], in the form of a ​negotiation. It begins tomorrow afternoon.”

Iran Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei claimed Monday that no negotiations with the US were in prospect and Tehran had no plans to host any foreign delegations or send negotiators abroad in the coming days.

It is becoming apparent that the Occupying Regime of Iran is playing a long game of “chicken”, betting that they can outlast the Trump administration, that they can return to a time before Trump, and continue unfettered its terrorist ways both inside and outside Iran.

Monday’s developments appeared to fit a pattern that has emerged since Trump launched “Operation Epic Fury” alongside Israel more than five months ago. On several occasions, Trump has threatened military action only to later cite diplomatic contacts as a reason for stepping back.

Iran, however, has publicly rejected negotiations with Washington since a June memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the conflict collapsed in early July.

It is time to call the Regime for what it is: Scam.

The Coming Iranian Liberation

​It may be weeks, or even days, when we wake up to find that the Iranian citizens have risen up to take back the country from the Regime and the IRGC, which have occupied and had taken the Iranians hostage back in 1979. Soon enough, the rats will scurry away, hoping to find friendlier countries to grant them asylum.

The streets of Iran are near a breaking point over public executions, economic collapse and a war that’s been raging on for more than five months, anti-regime figures in Tehran told several American reporters.

“A revolution can happen any day now, people want revenge,” a protest leader said, referring to the regime’s brutal January crackdown that President Trump said killed 52,000 people.

An independent journalist active in the Iranian underground said that preparations are already being made for the next uprising, and that activists from all walks of life are determined to make a final, decisive blow against the regime.

“We’re studying the protests from January, determining what tactics worked and which didn’t; we’re analyzing maps to determine the safest and most dangerous areas to congregate,” the journalist said.

Small groups are working clandestinely to procure firearms to distribute to demonstrators, utilizing guns stored in certain private homes and smuggled from abroad, the protest leader claimed. They did not specify who would be providing these weapons.

It certainly seems like a “day of reckoning” will soon be upon Iran and the world. And it is time for American critics of the war to shut up and take a seat, so that the Iranians can finally know that all Israelis and Americans support the goals to liberate Iran from the tyrants which are destroying their country.

Much like our forefathers needed and achieved 250 years ago.

One Man Asks “Mea Culpa”

​One MUST give credit when a critic apologizes for a previously held position when he is faced with piece of evidence which contradicts his previously held beliefs.

ESPN personality Stephen A Smith issued a shocking on-air apology to Kyrie Irving for blasting the much-maligned NBA superstar’s refusal to comply with mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations, which derailed the Brooklyn Nets’ 2021-22 season.

Smith interrupted his scheduled vacation Friday after watching Dr Anthony Fauci deflect questions from Congress about the origins of the pandemic by pleading the 5th Amendment, saying he “felt compelled” to issue a “mea culpa” to Irving who was ruthlessly shamed for deciding against getting the COVID shot.

 “I watched Dr. Fauci on Capitol Hill yesterday and the person I thought about most was Kyrie Irving,” said Stephen A.

“There’s several people that we all owe apologies to, and I’ll put myself at the front of the list, but none more so than the apology that I owe to Kyrie Irving,” the 58-year-old said at the start of his near 20-minute monologue.

“The reality is that Kyrie Irving, no matter what we think, may have been more right than we have given him credit for and unquestionably was more vilified than he deserved. And ladies and gentleman, it starts with me,” Smith continued.

“We saw vaccine mandates and booster mandates and you know distancing stipulations and mask mandates and all of this other stuff. And along the way, there were a select few individuals in the world of sports especially that stood up and said, ‘Nah, I’m not down for this,’” Smith recounted.

It takes a brave man to say publicly “Mea Culpa”, knowing he will be criticized for reversing his long-held position. He knows he may lose ratings and is williing to sacrifice them in order to maintain his integrity.

But reasonable people will respect him  for admitting he made a mistake. I certainly do.
