It is totally stupid

and indicative of HUGE ignorance for people to (self-servingly) whine about Kristi Noem shooting a dog. Let’s review, shall we?:

  1. The dog was a hunting dog that not only wouldn’t hunt, but scared game away. THAT alone would be enough for most hunters. But wait, there’s more!
  2. The dog wantonly killed the neighbor’s livestock. So the dog HAD to go no matter what.
  3. When stopped in the act by Noem, the dog became aggressive and threatening to Noem.

Guess what? An aggressive dog like that gets put down for the good of everyone. Now one can argue that what Noem did in terms of killing the dog was fine, but her talking about it in her book was poor judgment. Huh.

Well, that’s kind of splitting hairs, isn’t it. Basically, “city slickers” really are adrift and don’t understand at all. Should we cater to the blindingly ignorant? Maybe. But that’s where we are on this!

Current Events Polls

Polls are

a rather distorted mirror, but even so, there is some truth-value in them, particularly in the aggregate.

In recent months, polls began to tick upwards in favor of former president Donald Trump. At first, there wasn’t much separation between him and Joe Biden. Lately, however, they’re becoming a bit more eye-opening.

… Another thing to consider is the source of the polls that have looked good for Trump. They’re not being conducted be Rightwing Nutjobs ‘R’ Us Polling; they’re the work of pollsters who definitely aren’t skewing the wording of the questions to favor the Republican.

None of this is cause for a leap into irrational exuberance, obviously. In my early April column, I said that I think a Republican has to be at least eight points ahead to at least have a shot at offsetting any Magic Mail-In Ballot Machine shenanigans. That still seems reasonable.

DUH! Fighting Back Lefty Political Strategy

Yeah, almost

no one is actually excited about Biden.

Democrats have two weapons available to them in 2024, and both are taking on water.

First, for the Democrats is the old standby of Trump fear and hatred. BUT, 3+ years have passed, and people are a bit worn out by the never-ending Democrat hysteria. I mean, everyone sees that the country was WAY better off under Trump. They also see that Trump is treated grossly unfairly and that there is a Democrat legal mania for his destruction. It is very clearly a mental illness. And real people hate that crap!

And there was a better economy, low inflation, and good foreign relations under Trump. And we had a secure southern border. Plus, Trump is running a very good campaign right now. He makes few errors this time. He even just met with Ron DeSantis and agreed on fundraising!

So basically, the data are very clearly in. Conservatism is WAAAAY better in terms of safety and country integrity. It’s also way better in economic terms. It’s just not reasonably arguable anymore.

The second Democrat tool is voter fraud. There is overwhelming evidence the “Biden” cheated in order to win the last presidential election. The evidence is far too extensive for me to delve into it here and now, but only a willfully blind shill denies that. It’s obvious.

But the intentionally incompetent Democrat accomplice Ronna Romney McDaniel is no longer at the DNC. And people in general are FAR more watchful. So it will be harder for Democrats to pull off another “3am surprise” ballot dump. Sure, they can, but it’s much more difficult now.

Plus, a lot of Republicans are voting early, so the Democrat shenanigans of “surprise” voter machine malfunctions in predominantly GOP polling places will be avoided (and I would encourage GOP voters to “bank” their vote early to make sure it is counted). And in places where it is legal, there will be massive GOP “vote harvesting.” Good!

The Biden viper is NOT dead yet–it can still kill. But there are good reasons to think that we might escape its deadly venom.

Well, yeah.

That’s pretty much true.

He concluded, “I think all these trials are political. I think is selective prosecution. I think what’s going on in New York is an outrage. That case [is] eight years ago, they created a crime just for Trump. I think it’s selective prosecution for political purposes.”

Graham added, “I think it’s all BS yeah, political BS.”

… He concluded, “I think most people have written this off. They’re going to focus on their problems. Not a bunch of cases brought by liberals against Trump.”

This kind of

It’s potentially

a HUGE issue!

“However, neither Smith nor the position of special counsel under which he purportedly acts meets those criteria. And that is a serious problem for the rule of law, whatever one may think of the conduct at issue in Smith’s prosecution.” [emphasis added]

I think it is an open-and-shut case. It is binary: He (and the office itself) either meets requirements or not.

PREDICTION: I think that this not going to go well for the slavering Trump-hater goons. There just IS no wiggle room! Jack Smith simply doesn’t meet criteria, nor does the office itself.

The Lefty SCOTUS Justices may totally ignore that, but by statute, Jack Smith simply doesn’t meet criteria. Done!

So, irrespective of guilt or innocence, there would have to be a legislative change to allow Smith to operate as a Special Counsel. I think that is unlikely.

The frantic effort

to evade responsibility is hilarious!

Look, pal, you’re either actually committed or your just a poseur sheep, bleatingly following whatever trendy thing happens to catch your eye…

But the next evening, the college junior received an email from the university. Alwan and other students were being suspended after their arrests at the “ Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” a tactic colleges across the country have deployed to calm growing campus protests against the Israel-Hamas war.

Join me in a huge “BOO HOO!” Let those big ol’ nicotine tears roll down their faces…

As noted above, the students are fearful that their arrest records and suspensions will “follow them into their adult lives.” Based on their recent actions, I realize that we’re not dealing with the fastest set of tractors on the farm here, but I have a news flash for these rioters. Nearly every one of you is at least 18 years old and some of the juniors and seniors are in their twenties. You are already in your “adult life,” despite the fact that you’re not acting in a very mature fashion. 

I’m just saying, if you can’t do the time, then don’t do the crime!

The students at Columbia appear to be among the worst of the lot. As of this morning, their encampments are still in place and the university is still “negotiating” with them. This is precisely the type of “education” that they shouldn’t be receiving. The school is teaching them that they can get away with violating the law without consequences under the guise of free speech. All freedoms have limitations when they begin adversely affecting others. It’s a harsh lesson, but it’s one that these rioters need to be taught.

A Bluegrass version

of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald seems more than a bit incongruent, but this actually is really dang good. Surprisingly good.
