Thurday's Thermal Absurdities: Dave Needs More Coffee After This One...
We in Texas have always known that Irish Bob O’Rourke will say literally anything to get elected. Any old lie will do, if he thinks it will help him gain the office he’s seeking.
Here is about the 10,000th example:
Excerpt from that story:
Governor Abbott called up the National Guard to patrol the border and assist Border Patrol agents in the apprehension of illegal migrants. Then, when Operation Lone Star began, Abbott called Department of Public Safety officers to be added to the personnel working on the border. .The continuing flood of illegal migrants crossing over the Texas border because of the Biden border crisis calls for more, not less personnel and resources along the border. Even O’Rourke recognizes that reality.
Robert Francis was in Del Rio on Saturday campaigning at a dance hall. He was about 3 miles from the International Bridge that links Del Rio to Ciudad Acuna in Mexico. He wasn’t bold enough to go all-in for border security, though. He said there must be a balance. Abbotts border enforcement efforts are “too extreme, costly and ineffective.”
“Absolutely,” O’Rourke said about keeping soldiers on the border. “But with all things, there has to be a balance.”
“What we don’t need right now are stunts,” O’Rourke told about 300 people at a dance hall in Del Rio on Saturday — a message he repeated in earlier stops in both Laredo and Eagle Pass.
[End]
This is an outright lie. A stinky, smelly, fresh pile of horse manure. Shameless, and shameful.
But hey, he’s a Democrat. What did you expect?
He’s also a Democrat who is going to lose in November, just like Stacey Abrams in Georgia and Charlie Crist in Florida and Katie Hobbs in Arizona.
Want to know why Katie Hobbs is doomed in her Arizona race? Answers like this one from her Republican opponent, the phenomenal Kari Lake, to biased questions from a hostile media:
Fantastic.
This is how every Republican should treat the hostile media. Kari Lake has learned from watching Ron DeSantis and his dealings with the heinously biased and irresponsible media establishment in Florida, obviously. He treats them with the contempt they so richly deserve, and that’s a big reason why he’s 9 points up on his old reprobate opponent, Charlie Crist.
It’s a shame that more Republicans can't figure it out, or are just too afraid of having a bad media day. As if they ever have any other kind of media day.
Over in Georgia, meanwhile, the Dems in and out of the media are becoming all verklempt about Abrams’ own fading campaign.
Here’s an excerpt from that story:
After getting trounced by over 50,000 votes by Brian Kemp in 2018, Abrams has been getting the star treatment ever since. She even went on Star Trek to play the role of “President of Earth.” Surely, given all the favorable press coverage and plaudits, she’d be a shoo-in to defeat Kemp in a rematch, right? After all, we’ve been assured that Georgia is now a blue state.
Well, you know what they say about best-laid plans and all that. Panic is now starting to set in among Democrats as Abrams continues to flounder.
How bad are things for Abrams? Despite all the issues with polls being biased towards Democrats (something I recently chronicled in regard to the senate races), she has never led in a single poll that I can find. From start to finish, Kemp has remained on top, and there’s nothing to suggest the race is going to turn around.
The reason behind that is simple: Abrams is not a good candidate. Just because someone makes the beltway media swoon doesn’t mean they have the chops to actually be successful where they are running. Abrams is brash, boring, and incredibly unlikable. She checks all the boxes for far-left wine moms in New York, but not nearly as many for your average voter in Georgia. Yes, Atlanta is a Democrat bastion, but it’s not the entirety of the state, not by a long shot, and she appeals to few people outside of her bubble.
[End]
And there it is. Abrams is a woke leftist pushing woke leftist policies in a state that is decidedly not woke outside the friendly Democrat vote-stealing confines of its biggest city. Plus - get this - she’s just a lousy candidate in general.
Who could’ve seen that coming?
Four years ago, the Democrats called in the big guns from out of state like Oprah Winfrey, Terry McCauliffe and Hillary Clinton to do fly-ins to try to carry their flagging figurehead over the finish line. One can only wonder if Oprah will be willing to crank up the private jet and raise her already hefty carbon footprint in another vain effort to try to prop up a loooooser candidate this time.
We can only wait and hope.
We see so much chatter in the media about how it’s the Republicans who have chosen lousy candidates in some of the big race, but it’s hard to top the slate of losers the Dems are putting up in these governor’s races. I mean, c’mon, Charlie Crist? Beto O’Rourke? Be serious.
Let’s move on…
And now, a word from our sponsors:
Yikes.
Ok, we’re back.
Speaking of public “health” officials, this guy actually conducted a press conference in the White House press room yesterday:
That’s right, the guy on the left, with the pagan god tattooed on his belly, is Old Joe Biden’s choice to be his “Monkey Pox coordinator,” a guy named Demetre Daskalakis.
Here he is in action:
Honestly, can you think of a more perfect pick for this particular administration? Other than the guy on the right wearing the mask in that photo, that is? Maybe Old Joe can make him the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
*sigh*
Ok, that’s all I can do this morning. I need more coffee after that.
That is all.
Hilarious. The picture of the “health” leaders is particularly brilliant!
Oh no! After seeing these creepy government people I need a margarita not coffee! 🤮
