Why did the democrats lose?

I will chalk it up to two things.

1.) Harris IS a terrible candidate. She is as fake and forced as it can be. If not being Trump was the criteria, she certainly checked that box. She comes off as a bad actor instead of someone genuine. I said this before. Nothing has changed since she dropped out early in 2020 - she is as bad now as she was then. I know they were desperate, but Amy Klobuchar would have made a better candidate IMO. Walz was a terrible pick too. I am equally happy that he's not in the White House either.

2.) Policies. The utter nonsense that they seemingly created and endorsed came back and bit them in the ass.
  • The most pressing issue of our time is allowing dudes in dresses to play on girls sports teams. This whole trans thing is way too much. And for bureaucrats to want to hide it from parents..... Unbelievable.
  • Being soft on crime doesn't make up for the sin of slavery. Nor is racism the solution for racism.
  • CRT is integrated into our public school system. Hating your nation is a lousy approach to building your nation.
  • Lowering educational standards also does not make up for the sin of slavery.
  • Allowing tens of millions of illegal immigrants come into our nation with no plan or resources dedicated for them is simply asinine. They did it anyway.
  • There is a reason why DEI is dying. It's stupid. Pass over your brightest and best for skin color and genitalia?? Come on man.

The real reason AOC purged her pronouns

LOL... Just took two paragraphs.......

https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/11/18/the-real-reason-aoc-purged-her-pronouns/

RIP AOC’s pronouns. Yes, just like that, the kween of the bourgeois left, the doyenne of macchiato Marxism, has binned ‘she / her’ from her bio on X. Now people will just have to figure out for themselves that this person who was born a girl and who is widely celebrated as the youngest woman ever elected to Congress and who speaks frequently about her ‘self-worth as a woman’ is a she, not a he. Good luck, everyone.

This is the news that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, NYC congresswoman and a fave of the rich kids of the TikTok left, has excised her pronouns. The anti-woke are cock-a-hoop. ‘JUST IN: AOC removed her pronouns from her bio’, cried one woke-bashing X account to frenzied whoops of delight from the right’s legion AOC haters. Everywhere you looked, the cry went up: Trump’s win has forced the crackpot left on to the defensive. Maybe now they’ll talk about issues that matter to everyday Americans rather than obsessing over such lunacies as the right of a man who calls himself Crystal to poop in the ladies’ restroom.

I’m the mayor of Dallas. My switch to the GOP last year should have been a wake-up call for Democrats

Democrats are uneducable.

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/may...-year-should-have-been-wake-up-call-democrats

A little over a year ago, I made the decision to become a Republican.

As the mayor of Dallas, Texas, I knew this defection would put a target on my back for Democrat leaders, who tried to mock, ridicule and minimize my rationale. But I knew I was making the right choice because Democrats’ priorities were all wrong.

Looking back, Democrats should have taken my shift as a wake-up call. After all, I left the Democrat Party for the same reasons many people of color have left and will continue to leave: the chaos, financial hardship and cultural rot Democrat policies have spread across our nation.

President-elect Donald J. Trump understands these concerns, which is why Democrats lost and why he won. So, it didn’t surprise me when Trump was re-elected president with unprecedented support from young, Hispanic and Black voters.

I included a picture of the guy for one @BrunoKOTT .

A serial perjurer will try to prove an old misdemeanor against Trump in an embarrassment for the New York legal system

What's the old saying? Stupid is as stupid does....

Democrats love to embarrass themselves. Especially those in the #MUSTGETTRUMP cult.

https://nypost.com/2024/04/14/opini...-embarrassment-for-the-new-york-legal-system/

After an absurd $450 million decision courtesy of Attorney General Letitia James, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will bring his equally controversial criminal prosecution over hush money paid to former porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

Lawyers have been scouring the civil and criminal codes for any basis to sue or prosecute Trump before the upcoming 2024 election. This week will highlight the damage done to New York’s legal system because of this unhinged crusade. They’ve charged him with everything short of ripping a label off a mattress.

Is There A Democrat Coup Coming?

By: Theodore R. Malloch and Nicolas Capaldi
Thursday, October 31, 2024

Democrat Kamala Harris’s dark losing campaign to become the next U.S. president is focused on one and only one thing: the charge that Trump is a dictator in waiting, Hitler style, who expects to use his power to impose a totalitarian regime on the United States.

They say they now know that Elon Musk, Trump’s ardent supporter, has had secretive conversations with Putin. They argue that the brownshirts are coming any day now and that Trump is not only undemocratic but fascist.

This charge is echoed by Hilary Clinton’s fantastical expectation that the Madison Square Garden rally was a replay of the 1939 Nazi Bund event. Former members of the U.S. military, including those who served in the first administration, like General John Kelly have ‘direct knowledge’ of Trump’s expectations that the General Staff are to be loyal only to him personally. The woke General Milley who shared intel with the Chinese thinks Trump was fascistic.

Many members of the press and media in general anticipate their arrest after the inauguration. James Carville, the Democrat strategist has called for an end to objectivity. The deep state, including the secret service, the FBI, the CIA (experienced in regime change by assassination or rigging elections) are complicit.

The Justice Department, which has engaged in unprecedented and repeated lawfare against Trump, and the activist federal judges, who oppose every attempt to clean up the voter rules, are in favor of expanding the present Supreme Court (discredited because Trump appointed 3 of the 4 latest members). They also want to abolish the Electoral College and end the Senate Filibuster. They want to add Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia as new states, thereby securing four more permanent Democrat seats in the US Senate.

All this is laying the groundwork so that if Trump ‘wins’, the election will be declared null and void. Order would be imposed by the military under General Kelly’s new command, the deep state will arrest the usual suspects, the media (CNN, MSNBC, editorial staff at the Washington Post) will praise this so-called rescuing of democracy. The members of ‘The View’ will admire this expression of their view of nontoxic manliness and action, and Merrick Garland can finally become Chief Justice.

Is the scenario just spelled out possible? How likely is it? Can it be dismissed or ruled out altogether? Or will we witness a November Surprise this time around?

Besides violence there will surely be gnashing of teeth, media castigation and an attempt at yet more lawfare and refusal to certify the election by Harris herself. Vice President Harris could delegitimize the election (her very own loss) and then open the path to a coup d’état.

And they call themselves Democrats. This after the first palace coup removed a sitting President from the ticket without a single vote, primary, or debate.

Three things come to mind in this Orwellian dystopic view that appear more possible as the days advance and Trump secures a large and still growing victory.

We need to be on the alert.

The first fact is that for exactly sixty years now the Democrats have always resorted to calling the conservatives and Republican candidates “fascists”. It started in 1964, when they sabotaged Senator Barry Goldwater, who they demeaned as an extremist. It was repeated against Richard Nixon in 1968. They used the same charge against Gerald Ford, then increased the volume against the trigger-happy, cowboy actor, Ronald Reagan. It continued against both Bushes. They slandered WWII veteran Sen. Bob Dole who fought Nazis and nearly died in doing so. And they also called Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, fascists. Is it any surprise the Democrats trot out the same old trope time again and ramp it up against a populist President who governed peaceably for four years when he tries to return for another term in office. What else do they have? It gets old. Besides that, as Hayek reminded us in The Road to Serfdom, National Socialism was a distinct form of – socialism.

The emotive screams after Hilary Clinton lost in 2016 can still be heard today. In many ways the Left never got over that defeat. Their reply was the Russia Hoax, two impeachments, political lawfare, and constant attempts to impale Trump. They have not succeeded but the lamestream media continues unabated and raises the rhetoric of hate to new levels resulting in two failed assassination attempts. The leftist controlled media, universities, and corporate boards will not relent.

In the novel Seven Days in May, we see a fictional plot concerning an attempted military coup in the United States. The book was a huge hit and was a number one best-seller for weeks on end way back in 1962. It was later adapted into a movie with big name stars, in 1964. America of course has never succumbed to such a military coup, as it is not part of our history or political makeup. Could this time be different? Are the enemies of the people so intent, so desperate to keep power, that in 2024 they would resort to such nefarious means. For Kamala the ends justify the means.

Finally, we believe that America’s spiritual capital is the last remaining bulwark against the anti-democrat Democrats who are essentially un-American and run counter to the basic values and principles that the Founders birthed in forming these United States of America. We detail these at length in our book on the topic, America’s Spiritual Capital.

Only by falling back on those ideals, practices, and faith itself, can we overcome the coup that awaits us and the possible civil war that the Democrats actively seek. They are willing to go to any measure in their hate of America, its institutions against we the people.

EIGHT of Penn State's Opponents

Will likely end up being bowl eligible. Illinois shit the bed against Minnesota, and could have ended up 10-2, with losses to Oregon and us.

I am sick of this narrative that ignores Notre Dame, Texas, Indiana, BYU, Tennessee, SMU, Miami, and others playing a bunch of nobodies. And the SEC also seems pretty "mid" this year, with so many 3 loss teams.

Do I think we win more than 1 playoff game? 50/50.

But the point is that we are by no means a poor team, in spite of little production from a Wide Receivers room with a possibly bad coach, and some injury issues. And all we can do is play the schedule we are assigned, and then you win some and you lose some.

DT vs Cael

Ok this thread is a parallel to the Franklin vs Cael thread. How do they stack up?

As far as competition goes, I think they are roughly equal. Both were 4X finalists, but Cael is the only 4X undefeated champion so he gets the edge there. In international freestyle competition, they both have Olympic gold medals, but DT has more non Olympic medals so he gets the edge there. So in other words, roughly equal.

Coaching experience is hugely in favor of Cael because DT is still an untested commodity. Wrestlers go to Penn State because they know that Cael delivers. Wrestlers are going to OSU now because they think DT will deliver, but it’s really just an act of faith at this point.

Staff capabilities also are heavily in Cael’s favor for the same reason. No other school comes even close to Penn State when you consider CC&C . And adding Nick Lee just makes the pot even richer. DT has some great guys to help him, but the lack of a long track record is still something to consider.

The most intangible aspect to consider is what kind of relationships the coaches can develop with their wrestlers. Both DT and Cael have some good experience in this area although Cael’s experience is with college age teams. They are a different breed than guys who are still maturing. However, I think this is one of the most important things that can make or break a coach. You have to be able to convince your athletes to trust your leadership and guidance. Cael definitely shows he knows how to make this work. I’ve seen some things from DT that make me think he’s going to figure it out too, but I think this is the primary area that will make or break him.

Anyone else have any thoughts to add?

BTW, watching some great TV recently

Season 5 of yellowstone has gotten off to a great start. Well, it is technically the second half of season five starting with episode 9.

Landmen's first two episodes were great.

Lioness' second season has been as good as the first.

Incidentally, all of these are Taylor Sheridan shows. He's also done (and I don't know how he has the time):

  • Tulsa King (haven't seen)
  • Mayor of Kingstown (which was great)
  • 1923 (was very good)
  • 1883, good but a difficult watch
He's got several projects in the works (The Madison, 6666, The Road, and 2024.

This is a really great point on Biden's "Garbage" comment

Kamala has campaigned on "vote for a democrat, not a candidate". She refuses to talk policy and take hard questions that are not scripted. And her point is that it is the dem platform you are voting for.

So Biden calls half the USA "garbage". That leads to..

  • the media lying to cover it up when the video is 100% clear
  • that he's senile, yet still president of the USA
  • Kamala was endorsing him for another four years, along with the rest of the media/DNC cabal, just three months ago
All of that shows that the DNC/media cabal is completely corrupt, can't be trusted, and has no interest in putting America first.
