Yep. Denial ain’t

just a river in Egypt!

Democrats feast at a smorgasbord of denial when confronted with their failures. Various ways to pretend something isn’t happening are always in front of them. At first — and for the longest time — it was garden variety denial. The Biden administration dispatched all of its minions to assure everyone that there was no crisis at our southern border. 

…All any of that denial did was exacerbate the very real crisis. While the public could see the crush of humanity from news sources that weren’t in the tank for the Democrats, Team Biden had “The border is secure” playing on a loop throughout all of its friendly media. It’s a testament to their powers of prevarication that they could keep saying that with straight faces. 

… Once more, with feeling: Biden’s border catastrophe is both a humanitarian and national security crisis that can’t be swept under the rug. Every response to every “Gotcha!” question thrown at Republican candidates this year should begin with throwing the border insanity in their faces.

And that is

true.

But here’s the problem: There is perhaps a third of Democrats for whom NO amount of evidence will ever change their minds. So yes, IF it were proved they would abandon Biden, BUT IT CAN NEVER BE PROVED!

In other words, there is a proportion of “dead-ender” Democrats who simply can’t be convinced by data or evidence and will “vote blue no matter who.”

So yes, it’s great that nearly 2/3 of Democrats say they would vote against Biden if he were proved to be “dirty.” But realize that for a significant proportion of those it is a false dawn, because they could never be convinced of it!

They hold to their tribe with religious intensity! Because, in fact, it IS a religion for many of them.

I think that

every day Nikki Haley stays in the race leads to even more Republicans disliking her. And also, that dislike grows more intense every day.

She is NOT demonstrating tenaciousness or resoluteness or stoutness. She is demonstrating a psychopathological retreat into fantasy.

Does she have future electoral ambitions? I hope not, because they have been thrown on the bonfire of her vanity. She has chosen a frantic immediacy over a long-game strategy. Once she quits, I doubt she will ever be heard from again.

Good,

good! If she is too thick to understand that she needs to b0w out, her donors should introduce her to reality!

Were you somehow

not aware that Biden and his posse are as corrupt as they come?

If so, you are willfully ignorant!

Heck, I’m sure

you have THAT much in your couch cushions, right?

The rapidly growing debt of the U.S. federal government has hit another milestone, topping more than $100,000 in debt per person.

But here’s my question: Just who is going to pay that? ALL debts come due, eventually. Democrats (and to a lesser extent, Republicans) have spent us into oblivion, acting as though that money will never have to be repaid.

It’s treason.

It should

be a warning. But I fear that the left is such an extreme case of being both hidebound and avoidant that they will miss it.

SPOILER:

This won’t be the nail in the coffin. Why? Because Democrats are almost always WAY too narcissistic and proud to admit even to themselves that they were wrong, let alone admit it to others. They won’t take a hard look at the science. It is a psychologically defensive move. And this takes a modicum of humility.

You were wrong, Leftists! Now have the personal humility to admit it.

As a psychologist, I

really understand how powerful denial of reality is.

Suuuuure.

It’s just the heat.

Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt!

But you gotta be pretty practically stupid to whistle past THIS graveyard!

There’s no need to whitewash this, Biden team. Everyone knows your boss sucks. Even fellow Democrats know he’s awful, which is why they’re drumming up the ‘please don’t run in 2024’ narrative right now. It’s not due to the summer heat.
