[ May 13, 2024 ]
The same pundits who last year told us that Trump would be crushed by Hillary Clinton in a landslide, now explain that Trump suffered yesterday a historic electoral defeat, and that it’s the end of Trump.
So let me put the media back where they belongs with the ignorant donkeys, and remind them a few facts that they avoided to mention, without discounting that the Republicans must draw some real lessons.
- Since Trump’s victory, the Democrats have lost all important congressional elections: in South Carolina, Georgia, Kansas and Montana. Mainstream media have “forgotten” to tell you that.
- Yesterday, the Democrats won three elections, in three … Democratic States! They are so desperate that they see this as a miracle!
But let’s look closely at these “victories” as honestly as possible.
New Jersey
New Jersey is a Democratic State. In 2016, Clinton won with a whopping 14 points over Trump, by 55% to 41%. Surprise surprise: New Jersey, which did not like Trump in 2016, still does not like him in 2017.
Story continues below advertisement
Chris Christie, the Republican candidate, lost. The opposite would be stunning: he is the most unpopular US governor!
Last April, a survey published by Morning Consult (1) showed that 71% of New Jersey residents disapprove of Christie, while only 25% who agree.
The Democrats chest swelled with pride for having defeated him. With the revelations that Clinton stole the nomination to Senders and that she funded the fake Russian dossier, the Democrats are in disarray, in panic, they lost all self confidence. In a normal year, a win against a competitor hated by 71% of the voters would call for more modesty.
Virginia
The Democratic candidate won 9 points ahead of Ed Gillespie, the Republican candidate. But Virginia too is a Democratic State. In 2016, Hillary won against Trump.
It’s nevertheless important to remember that in 1970, 1% of the population of Virginia was born outside of the United States. In 2016, the figure has increased to 12%. 12% born abroad makes a difference because the Hispanic vote for the Democrats (which is why the Democrats are so opposed to the border wall).
And let’s add something else the media did not tell you: the Democrats released a video where we see Ed Gillespie’s big black SUV ramming Mexican and Muslim children … needless to say that the chilling effect worked. Tell me about hate speech.
However, Clinton won with just five points over Trump, while Ralph Northam is 9 points ahead of his Republican contender.
Who lost? Trump, or the Republicans? Ed Gillespie was not running on the Trump policy, but rather as a traditional Republican. But remember that voters rejected Jeb Bush in 2016.
Gillespie tried throughout his campaign to distance himself from the President. It was only in the last days – too late – that he seemed to move closer, and the President supported him.
But it was not Trump he invited to campaign for him in Virginia, but GW Bush and Marco Rubio.
The Republican Party must learn a lesson here: there is a place in the sun for pro-Trump candidates, less likely for the others, and 12 Congressmen have already decided not to run again in 2018.
New York
I kept this one for the end.
In New York, Bill de Blasio, a far-left Democrat, was re-elected for a second term as mayor. Another nice Democratic victory is not it? Not so fast …
What the media did not bother to tell is that he was elected by 8.5% of the NewYorkers (2)! 78% of the people decided to stay home! (at 78%, my exclamation point is not an overstatement).
- As of July 2016, there were 8,537,673 residents in New York.
- According to the State Election Council, there were 5,053,842 voters by November 1st.
- 4,596,813 of them are considered active.
- Of the nearly 4.6 million active voters, the first counts show that 1,097,846 voted.
- Of this figure, 726,361 people voted for de Blasio: which means that only the activists turned out to vote.
- The number of people who voted for Blasio is not insignificant – but it represents only 8.5% of the New York population.
8 out of 10 New Yorkers did not bother to vote. A beautiful victory indeed. Not a mandate either.

It’s been quite pathetic watching the CBC, BBC and CNN spin on these wondrous Democrat ‘victories’ in Virginia and New Jersey. It represents ‘rejection of Trump and ‘Trumpism” they and imbecilic academic guests have desperately informed us, while failing to tell us that the Democrats had gained nothing. CNN even showed some chart or survey showing about 13 percent Republican support, so I guess the Republicans actually made gains. You look at these university profs guests and ask yourself what kind of trash education these clowns are providing. This is no better than the re-written history taught in Soviet Russia.

The New Jersey Democrat gubernatorial candidate, Phil Murphy. was not running against Chris Christie as stated above. Christie, having served two consecutive terms was not eligible for reelection in 2017. The Republican candidate was Kim Guadagno, Christie’s lieutenant governor. The results would have been similar had Christie run but political commentary should strive to get the elementary facts, such as who the candidates were, correct.

“the Democrats released a video where we see Ed Gillespie’s big black SUV ramming Mexican and Muslim children “
I think most of us have seen the commercial in question by now, it’s been all over Fox for days and days. Apparently one person who did not view the video was the author of this article, Jean Patrick Grumberg. In the first place there is no indication that the vehicle belongs to Gillespie, it’s merely displaying a Gillespie sticker. In the second place the vehicle is a pick up truck, not an SUV. In the third place the truck chases, but does not ram the children.
I’ve never read anything by Grumberg before but misstating facts and rushing to hyperbole is amateurishly careless and that’s exactly what this piece does. As Bugs Bunny would say, “What a maroon.”
The video itself was a hideous piece of left wing propaganda, a total hit piece. So bad that it was pulled by those who produced it after the proper response was outrage for promoting such a false narrative. And Tucker has been all over this.
This is the kind of crap that gets published when there either is no editor, or the editor is asleep at the switch.

Agree. But the fact that De blasio, the Pro-jihadi won, with support of 18.5% Votes from among active voters shows how a united minority can elect a anti-American islamonazi because the rest were too lazy to bother to vote !
This is how the Left/liberal/jihadis intend to win.

I’m sure that you realize that the voter turnout for the election you speak of was around 8%. It is getting pretty sick. Voter apathy among other cancers.
It is getting bad. Keith Ellison, who Dona Brazile just extoled on Tucker last night, Obama, Bush 43, there is no end to the sympathizers of Islam embedded in government. It’s incredibly similar to the infiltration of soviet commies we’ve suffered since the close of WWII.

Because the anti-American communist democrats were set back by McCarthy. They had a comeback, after telling everyone “communism is dead”. Yet, here we are with communist democrats all over. If Americans would wake up, we could eliminate the illegals and communists in a week. But, don’t expect a bunch of fat, lazy and cowardly Americans to leave the football and beer. No, they will get their chains and be glad they have them. Cowardly morons.

It’s not just the Islamopanderers. We also saw two “trans” people elected to office, thus not only will we see Sharia law further encroached onto this land, but likewise radical fringe Greenwich Village/San Francisco/Fire Island “values” which are formulated on a house of cards and are rooted in the bathhouses and bars such as Stonewall (and are primed to totally override and supersede Judeo-Christian values that were built on a solid foundation and rooted in Biblical foundations). And we know with LGBT politicians what that means for Christians, pro-family advocates, and supporters of traditional values. NFG.
Anytime I hear the Orwellian phrase “gender neutral,” I am immediately reminded of Elie Wiesel’s famous saying: “Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.” The oppressors in this instance being LGBT supremacists and their lapdogs in politics, Hollywood, the media, the courts and academia. But it isn’t “neutral” really, it is automatically taking sides against the realities of nature and biology and surrendering to a malign ideology that in its intent is wholly subversive, in terms of their drive to end (as they see it) “white male heterosexual privilege.”

Not that I disagree with what you said, but it is sort of hard not to have apathy when your choices are so bad. Is it really in the best interest of the city, state, country to vote for the lesser of 2 evils….that’s why most don’t bother….it hurts to vote FOR someone you don’t like at all.

True. But I would say that if it’s all that’s on the table then it is in the best interest to vote for the lesser of 2 evils.
Where I live, Los Angeles County, I have the opportunity to vote by mail in each and every election, and so I do. I think if I had to drag my behind to the polls my apathy level would be greater. Of course my conservative vote is nullified by overwhelming liberal population hereabouts. I’m a native Californian and it is to my great shame that this state has given the country Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Jane Harman, Jerry Brown, Maxine Waters and Ted Lieu. Ronald Reagan was also from California, and his legacy lives on, but times have changed.

Thank you for the encouragement. I’m sure I could contact Pamela directly by email, as I’ve done in the past. At the end of the day, I don’t think I’m knowledgeable enough to be an adequate editor. I can read an article critically, I can catch errors, both factual and grammatical, however a really good editor should be a 100% first pass filter and I just don’t have the experience required. I’m a stress analyst by my training. And I’ve reviewed many analyses in my role as a lead and as a consultant, which is similar to being an editor. I’ve caught and corrected lots of errors in that capacity. Some that potentially could have cost the mission. That’s my wheelhouse.
I really was never political, I always just voted straight Republican because that’s what my father did. 9/11 raised my awareness of the world situation by a really great factor. I first starting reading Spencer and through Jihad Watch I became aware of Pamela…her site and her activism. Her work to try and head off the election of Obama was tireless. Since that time I’ve become informed enough to debate any liberal who thinks Islam is one of the world’s great religions that worships the same God of Abraham as Jews and Christians. I’m not the master debater that Robert and Pamela are (sorry couldn’t help it) but I can hold my own with the best of the typical liberals who blindly believe in multiculturalism and learned about Islam from CNN.

You are making excuses which is a rebuff to the two readers who expressed confidence in your abilities and encouraged to you reach out to Ms Geller. I was initially only suggesting an alternative contact but after your reply perhaps I could offer the following thoughts. I read most posts on this site then skim briefly through the comments occasionally adding my own. I’m not greatly familiar with your comments so read through a little of your open profile and consider you have thoughtful and challenging opinions which is the starting point for a political writer. You express your opinions in a balanced, flowing, coherent and logical manner with a nice whimsical touch when revealing your personal behaviour and circumstances. Furthermore you write in a most respectful manner whether you are responding to the post or engaging with other commenters.
You appear to have more than a passing knowledge of the topics you respond to; if you enjoy writing and want to extend this into the public domain why would you not put together an article and submit it here for publication? Of course you will not be the master debater that Mr Spencer and Ms Geller are because they have been professionals for decades. But everybody has to make a start somewhere and they are two of the finest to learn from. You are confident of holding your own with liberals; I image you do so politely but resolutely. So together with the other two commenters here I would encourage you to broaden your artistry to the pro-freedom conservative movement.

Nice Summary
The Demo☭rats jumped the shark last week.
– Mueller pulled a small weasel out of a hat, and declared victory
– The average American has begun to hate the Demo☭rats. All the signs are there.
– Demo☭rat membership is tanking to record lows
– Fundraising is very poor
– Last year, fundraising was so bad, Hillary ‘bought’ the Demo☭ratic National Committee (DNC)
– It’s worse now
– Soros not only had to pay his Antifa rioters, he also had to pay his Alt-Right anti-rioters
– The last years have seen vast radicalizing of the left, with shrinking numbers (Pew Research)
– The erstwhile ‘liberals’ are now just plain ordinary ‘violent Commies’
– And it’s getting worse for the Demo☭rats every day, as independents flood the electoral spectrum

My own assessment is that what happened is a prelude to sweeping changes that I believe are in the wind for all of politics. I believe that the turnout is related to a belief that the present state of affairs in politics is being seen by the populous as needing change in a big way. The people may finally being waking up to the fact that “fat cats” constitute the politicians that are running this country. These political establishment people see their jobs as a full time opportunity to seek continuing power and “greed.” My hope is that The people who vote are becoming aware of that phenomena. Instead of legislating for the people, they are essentially all about themselves, first and foremost, and I hope that our electorate is beginning to see that. We need to change the mind set of those elected to office, and the only way to do that is to vote the bad ones out and find a way to choose to elect the better, more people oriented candidates. Unfortunately, we must first get thru the parties who allow no accounts to run for office giving us no choice. We must fix our Constitution by providing for term limits, a requirement that legislators cannot seek to benefit unless all the people are likewise entitled to benefit, we must insist on balanced budgets, and we must insist that elected officials and government employees who have left prominent positions cannot lobby for any special interest group. if we can get these things done, we will better our system of government and bring back the power to the people.

While all that you say is correct I think that the real first thing is to stop the change that is taking place with the population make up. As long as foreigners pour into our country and vote there is no hope for the country. These are the “new” Americans and once we are completely outnumbered there will be no hope.

If the new immigrants can be made to assimilate as have all our previous ancestors, your concerns will never happen. I agree we must not let into this country those who bring with them a belief system that is unable to allow them to assimilate and become “American.” Our vetting system must be updated to take this last factor into consideration, and then even those immigrants will see the need to vote for only those who will actually legislate for all the people.

It’s like a slow motion trainwreck for New York and New Jersey and so on, but it doesn’t mean the democommies are winning or even making a comeback. LOL Desperate times make for desperate claims. How many times over the last couple of years have they claimed ‘this is the end for Trump’? They won three elections where they should have won by much larger margins. Big deal. Dying spasms.

But I can attest to that pathetic figure. In the district area where I live, I was the 50th person to vote that day. At 9 A.M. There weren’t exactly long lines circling the entire block.

It was Governor and Mayors municipal races in deep blue States., With ballots that are watered down with many party candidates, They use rank choice voting to pick up to 3 choices , a best, 2nd best, and 3rd choice for each candidate in each election.
this system allows many human ballot counters to recast ballots if the first choice doesn’t garner a high enough percentage to make the 2nd and then third counting. When many people handle the ballots the possibility of organized voter fraud increases. .
our ballot had 12 candidates for Mayor and 6 were Democrat their was NO Republican candidate but the Pink Unicorn Party, Communist workers party, Socialism for America, and the Marijuana candidates were all there.
I left without voting I simply had no choice of which rat to bet on…To win, place, and show.

good analysis. 8.5% of new york city residents vote this is a stunning victory for the propaganda machine which constantly churns out claim that NY is a “democratic” town. I think any election result based on these numbers should be null and void as it might shake people out of their complacency about the inevitability of outcome. I believe if news had to explain reason for nullification droves would appear at run off. I am shocked. I went to polls in robotically trendoid bklyn and was shocked and how few people were there. Everyone in my area is an activist lots of BO, Hillary and “dissent is patriotic” posters in doors and windows. Most voters well past their 40s. I have been told by several merchants in area I am one of 3 people who have admitted to having voted for donald.

8 out of 10 New Yorkers did not bother to vote. A beautiful victory indeed. Not a mandate either.
