Mild mannered? That left the phone booth with Clark Kent.
"We want every vote counted" is code for "we have to keep looking for more votes...we have found them before."
I'd say that Murphy is in the zone of theft, so there is no way that he doesn't come out with more "votes"...he is a Democrat in New Jersey, for heaven's sake. He'll never have to say that the election was not legitimate.
We have a saying in Chicago: "Don't make no waves. Don't back no losers." Murphy will never be a loser...when all the votes are counted.
If the dems lose they know it's in spite of massive fraud.
Thankfully the Republican won in Virginia. Now we won't have to listen to all the whining and crying about a stolen election.
One Good Thing about democrats, they are NOT hypocrites
They don't a "double standard", they have a Single Standard
that Single Standard is:
All within the Party, Nothing outside the Party, Nothing against the Party
they Live that, they ARE that; It's that Single Standard for everything. The opposite of hypocrisy
It will be interesting to see how mild-mannered Democrats will be in the face of a slim victory for the other side in an election that you and your supporters believe you were supposed to win.
As of this morning the Democrat had moved into the lead with 92 percent of the vote counted; the chances the remaining absentee votes will swing Republican are slim to none.
The Dems depend on vote cheating. They are cheaters. They are the Houston Astros of politics.
One reason I'd never go back to being a Dem is because the Dems are the party of cheaters. Every moral person hates a cheater.

LOL Althouse you are a gem. “No hypocrisy”! FFS!
In other news, Minneapolitans decided not to get rid of their police department, but they did vote for rent control.
Per economist Assar Lindbeck, “In many cases rent control appears to be the most efficient technique presently known to destroy a city — except for bombing.”
Minneapolis tried bombing last year, and the results came up short. Now they'll try the Lindbeck solution.
Virginia is one of the only honest states, you typically need voter ID (drivers license), you "can" bring in a utility bill, but you also need back-up.
Its very difficult to harvest votes. Anyone south of the DC area saw Youngkin signs outnumber McCaullife 5-1. Factor that with the worst gaffe in my life when McCauliffe said parents shouldn't be in the classroom and even DC idiots couldn't win.
But yes, the 2020 election was stolen in a few cities unless you're dumb enough to believe a drooling idiot like Biden actually got more votes than Obama.
Has Terry conceded? He hasn't and he wont because he knows they have until Friday to "find" all the absentee votes they need to put him over the top.
Don't worry. The race is within 4 digits.
You can easily find that many ballots in the trunk of a car.
A transparent election, with paper ballots, photo ID, and purple thumbs and democrats lose NJ probably by double digits.
Much less Virginia.
Corruption, Open borders, higher taxes, stagflation, closed schools and vaccine mandates are about as popular as COVID with real voters.
They are all very popular with the mail in voter block though.
I don't want to see any hypocrisy!
Better shut your eyes, then.
"Thankfully the Republican won in Virginia. Now we won't have to listen to all the whining and crying about a stolen election."
Yah, this morning you're feeling smug about this. Good for you and your feelings!
Many of us recognize it for what it is- the Democrat steal machine can only do so much heavy lifting. It isn't evidence the leftie steal machine doesn't exist COUGH Mark Elias COUGH. Y'all have been very...very wrong many...many times before...
" I don't want to see any hypocrisy!"
I don't care who you are, that was funny!
I live in Vermont, and the only Biden Harris stickers you ever see are in the few wealthy suburbs and on college campuses. Democrats not only walked away from their base, they kicked them to the curb. Trump just helped them up and dusted off their clothes.
all close races are aromatically D-wins. Those are the rules. Obey.
I don't want to see any hypocrisy!
Try a blindfold...
Democrats have already lost this election by the fact it was so close in one of their deepest blue states. If you think this isn't going to stiffen the spines of moderates in the Senate, you don't know human nature. It would take an awfully big bribe to get someone to walk away from a Senate seat.
Thankfully the Republican won in Virginia. Now we won't have to listen to all the whining and crying about a stolen election.
Most of the "whining and crying" about charges of "stolen elections" came from those who opposed challenges to and audits of those elections.

No instead we will have to endure weeks of being told that Republicans won because of racism, even though a Republican Latino and a Republican Black woman were elected to statewide offices.

Fairfax, the largest county, decided to ignore the state law that required mail in votes to be signed and have the last 4 of SSNs?
Why? because they have Dems running the election board and they could do it...
I don't want to see any hypocrisy!
Do you think Democrats care what you want? Bow to your Democrat masters, serf!
I live in Northern NJ, and voted for Jack C. yesterday, and there was a heavy turnout yesterday at 11:30 am, and poll worker told me that turnout had been heavier than expected all morning. All the lawn signs in my town and neighboring towns in northern Bergen County are all for “Jack” and none for Murphy.
Yeah, he is going to celebrate by mandating vaccines and firing Police Fire EMT's Doctors and nurses!!! Yay!!! Progressivism is regressive and they hate us. Let's vote for people who put illegals ahead of constituents!! YAY!!!
"Thankfully the Republican won in Virginia. Now we won't have to listen to all the whining and crying about a stolen election."
Right. We'll have to listen to how racist the voters are in Virginia.
Here is hoping that the RNC is sending transport plane loads of lawyers into New Jersey. You can bet the DNC is.
Virginia is over, Youngkin is up by 2.5% in a +10 Biden state.
Beware "mild-mannered" people wielding the Mailed Fist.
"Murphy can't lean too hard into challenging the results of the election."
Sure he can.
"Expressing skepticism about the announced result is dangerously similar to Donald Trump."
Rules are for the other side. Stacey Abrams has paid absolutely no political price for continuing to pretend she was elected governor of Georgia. Quite the opposite.
"When every vote is counted, including the ones being printed/cast at this very moment, our cheating will prevail."
Who wins by the end of the week almost doesn't matter- although the notion of Youngkin winning on election night only for McAuliffe to fraud his way in on Friday would be very 2021.
12 and 16 point swings away from Biden and towards the Republicans is absolutely devastating for his legitimacy. Restoring Donald Trump to the presidency- right NOW- is going to be the soft option. Or you can roll the dice and see what happens. I highly doubt Biden will even make it to the midterms, never mind be the 2024 candidate.
"Now where is Ballot Box 13?"
https://www.angelfire.com/az/nativebob/images/lbjprecinct13.jpg
How about a poll Ann, about who will be the eventual winner of the NJ race? Or is there no point?
As I was watching election explainers last night on multiple networks, and listening to them tell us that same day in person voters tended to favor Republicans, while mail-in ballots ran heavily Democratic, I had to ask myself again: What is it about showing up to vote in person that is so difficult for Democrat voters? Why can they not do this?
Are they just so disinterested in voting or the process? They throw out the word "Democracy" with such reverence so often, one would think they'd like to actually participate in it. But it seems as though its an inconvenience to them. Are they too busy creating TikTok videos, or playing video games? Are they buried deeply in the latest edition of The Atlantic to leave home and mingle among the unwashed?
One wonders why this entire mail-in ballot thing has gone from helping disabled or away-from-home business and military people vote, to state wide, and possibly nation wide mass ballot mailings sent out to every name on a voter roll, no matter how expired that name is. What is this? And one can see why ballot harvesting is such a key to this. I mean, if someone doesn't care enough about voting to show up in person, what makes you think they'll bother to fill out a mass junk mailer? Well...ballot harvesting guarantees their ballot gets filled out. By someone.
New Jersey should not have been close. That it is says loud and clear what's being rejected here. But mark my words: Democrats still don't get it. I've listened to their appointed talking heads on corporate media. They still don't get it.
And remember this: the 2020 election was the first shot of the red wave coming at them. Republicans gained numerous down ballot seats- both nationally and in key states. 2020 was just the beginning. Democrats did not learn and still don't realize how close it was and hence, are trying to push through an insulting array of socialist garbage while they can.
Their end is near. A year off.
PS- Also in New Jersey, Edward Durr, a truck driver who spent $150 on his campaign and had only a Facebook page looks to have defeated long time Dem and President of the New Jersey Senate, Stephen Sweeney. You have not seen the carnage yet. You will next year.
Democrats may claw back +15 Biden New Jersey, but this quote comes to mind:
"If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined" Pyrrhus of Epirus
It's pretty clear where the energy is, and it's big energy.
He doesn't have to question anything...he has killers working in the background.
While the RNC is busy toasting VA, the DNC is stealing the requisite votes in NJ.
Tens of thousands of NJ Dem votes are already fraudulent just to get to the tie...now they know exactly how many more need to be 'found.'
What's Al Franken doing these days?
I hear the NJ elections are in limbo because the preprinted mail ballots from China are stuck on a ship in San Diego Harbor...
NJ isn't quite as corrupt as their PA neighbors (read Philadelphia) but good enough to pull this one out for Murphy.
In other news NJ state senate leader Steve Sweeney looks like he might lose to his Republican challenger. Sweeney is no friend of the teachers union so they may not come to his aid wit a truckload of lost ballots.
Since when have Democrats EVER been mild mannered???
Democrats are incapable of hypocrisy because they are nuanced interpreters of each situation, assessing with reason and contextual analysis. Republicans are always hypocrites because all they care about is power and money.
So the charges of hypocrisy are, by definition, absurd and point to corrupt, likely Fox News influenced, rhetoric.
Brandon must be shitting himself!
Just read election called for Murphy.
Democrat votes breed in the night after the polls close--like rabbits. Republican votes not so much. But if the race is close at 10 pm on election night, you can take a Democrat victory to the bank.
Democrats have been quite clear that the election is stolen when they lose and free and fair when they win. Republicans are a little less hypocritical in victory, but no less whiny in defeat.
Has Terry conceded?
Yes. About an hour ago.
Rent control is great. The same Libertarians that push "Rent control destroys a city" push Open borders, mass immigration, outsourcing US jobs, "Free Trade", and bowing down and worshipping Big Tech.
I feel so sorry for the landlords. Tears coming down my cheeks. Yes. Very. Sad.
And thank God VA is a state election, so we don't have to hear whining and crying about how "Russia colluded with the Republicans and stole the election".
the 2020 election was stolen in a few cities unless you're dumb enough to believe a drooling idiot like Biden actually got more votes than Obama
Biden received roughly 12 million more votes than Obama. A million of those votes were in Los Angeles County. Biden's supposed margin over Trump in California was roughly two to one, but who would be dumb enough to believe that?
Democrat car trunks being carefully inspected for ballots.
The problem with McAullife "Finding" i.e. manufacturing votes is that the ballots cast on election day have been counted. He lost. The mail in votes that were in were also counted, and he still lost.
And Virginia requires people to request absentee or mail in ballots, so they actually know how many votes out there are yet to be counted, and the number of outstanding ballots is less than the margin of victory Youngkin has right now. So even if McAullife runs the table, he won't make up the dfference.
And trying to manufacture more votes will be obvious vote fraud. They would be invalid, and it appears that Youngkin had his attorneys on the ball last night to prevent lots of shenanigans so I doubt he'd let this one fly.
So I think that McAuliffe is well and truly hosed.
Murphy, of course, will cheat to win. But he was supposed to walk away with a 10-30 point victory, and now he has to "find" more votes in order to win. Pretty overwhelming rebuke in my opinion.
Murphey is going to win due to fraud where necessary and the general stupidity of the New Jersey electorate. The only way to suppress vote fraud ( besides ID and proper registration) is to forbid every precinct to to announce its results until all precincts have announced they have completed their respective counts. Then a a mass submission of the results.
Now would be a very good time to remind all readers that it was just a few months ago in May of 2021 that Paul Ryan actually stood at the Reagan Library and delivered his "Republican Surrender Speech" where Ryan lectured republicans to not put up a fight in the culture wars.
Defenders of Ryan will do what they always do when an establishment squish, like Ryan, who wants to feel comfortable at lefty dinner parties while standing near the jumbo shrimp display, by saying Ryan simply said that we shouldn't engage the left on EVERY social/culture war issue.....
....which is the trick. Because these squishes never tell you WHICH social/culture war issue is worth engaging with.....because their actual intent is that you never engage with the left on ANY social/culture issue.
And so you simply get a year after year after year Surrender Message from the squish/FakeCons on EVERY social/culture war issue that "this is not the hill to die on", "but trust us, we'll be with you on the next one!". LOL
Last night we saw that actually the opposite is true. Every single social/culture issue should be engaged and fought over so that LLR Chuck and his lefty/democratical buddies don't have a clear field to do things like shove CRT down our kids throats.
Now that McAuliffe has conceded because even he knows the Dem machine can’t manufacture enough votes to put him over the top. With history not on their side (the opposing party of the president gain votes and election results in VA foretelling the national voting trend the next year), I fully expect the Congressional Dems to redouble their efforts to push their hard left agenda and existing bills - spending, voting, and other far left ideas - since they now have less than one year to get them passed. And it maybe only 6 months, since those in close re-election battles need to start campaigning hard to retain their seats as their GOP opponents will have a head start. Hopefully, Manchin and Sinema hold tough and not flip on their stated opposition to the current legislation, and especially the filibuster.
If the Democrats are successful in passing their INSANE spending bills, wins in VA and NJ will not matter.
The Left must be stopped in their quest to destroy America’s future.
rcocean: "And thank God VA is a state election, so we don't have to hear whining and crying about how "Russia colluded with the Republicans and stole the election"."
Actually, they are still saying just that.
The good news is that Fox News early last night, with Arnon Mishkin the long time extremely partisan democrat running Fox News Decision Desk, called Virginia for Stacey Abrams.
So everyone "wins".
"I don't want to see any hypocrisy!"
Humans being what we are, it's unlikely. But it would be nice.
Scotty: " I fully expect the Congressional Dems to redouble their efforts to push their hard left agenda and existing bills "
That is precisely the message coming out of DC today.
The democraticals/LLR-lefties are going to push even harder for their bills to fundamentally transform the US into a EU like state.
Manchin and Sinema, for whatever reason, have chosen to live among their own people instead of become DC drones for life. It doesn't matter- the more Bloomberg bucks get shoved out the door, the more justified the new American nation will be in repudiating that debt permanently.
The Biden agenda is dead, and if his people aren't careful they won't make it to 2024.

It's close in New Jersey, but that'll be cleared up once the cemetery vote comes in.
>>Hopefully, Manchin and Sinema hold tough and not flip on their stated opposition to the current legislation
They can see which way the tide is running. They have MUCH more leverage today than yesterday. Good luck getting them to decide "This is a good time to join the losing team!"
Don't we have three days to "cure" ballots like Democrats get?
Blogger gilbar said...
that Single Standard is:
All within the Party, Nothing outside the Party, Nothing against the Party
And when they get their hand on the throttle, the standard is "All within the State, Nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."
It is really the same thing because the party is the state and the state is the party.
And they will get the planes to fly to schedule.

Same here in Ocean County!! If Murphy ends up winning, the constituents in NJ end up losing. He is going to fire everybody who isn't vaccinated, and replace them all with illegals that aren't vaccinated that are the people he works the hardest for. Seriously. WTF is wrong with people that they see it, but don't care that he doesn't work for us???

************
I hope you're being sardonic. "Rent control" is ruinous for landlords and tenants alike. Just look at any city that has it.
When repairs or renovations are needed, where's the money to pay for them? Who's going to build new housing w/o a profit incentive?
When rents are controlled but property taxes continually rise, what's the point of even being a landlord?
Hared of landlords is a tell-tale of a embittered and envious Loser.
btw: are you in favor of price controls for everything? If not, why not?
Math is hard.
So is sarcasm.
In New Jersey they have to count mail-in votes that come in as late as the eighth. Murphy's got it in the bag.
So they had a very Irish guy running against a very Italian guy with a Gotti hairdo.
Not gonna look but I'll bet they both wear heavy gold chains.
Joisey! Let the Dems have it.
"I don't want to see any hypocrisy!"
Better close your eyes whenever a Dem shows up.
Actually, they are never hypocritical. They honestly apply a single standard: what works for them is good, what works for the other side is bad.
Uh, Oh. Apparently Ciattarelli is back in the lead after double counting was found in Hudson County.
Double counting? I'm shocked.
Last night's results showed the importance of becoming involved at the local level. When Fairfax, VA reported a problem that would require re-scanning of some ballots, the GOP had poll-watchers and GOP attorneys on site to make sure everything was on the up and up. The GOP had poll-watchers trained and ready at each precinct. This prevented the democrats from pulling their usual tricks.
So, if you believe there has been election fraud in the past, the best thing to do would be to attend your next local GOP meeting. You can become a precinct worker and help decide which candidates to endorse, have input into setting policy as to voting procedures in your county, and most importantly be a poll-watcher during elections in your county.

Well, yes, when teh Democrats don't manage to steal an election, we don't claim that they did.
However, when teh Democrats "discover" a thug drive that has over 8k votes on it, that takes their candidate from losing to winning?
When the Democrat vote counters "stop counting for the night", kick out all teh poll watchers and reporters, and then start "vote counting" again, and their State vote totals go from "Trump's got this in the bag" to "wow, it looks like the Dems will win"?
When the Dems get courts to throw out election law, and make it easier for fraudulent votes (no signature matching, must be accepted days later than the law allows, even if it doesn't have a legally required postmark) to be counted, and then the Dems "win" in a tight vote count?
When teh republican is leading, until a couple days after the election the King County "vote counters" "discover" some boxes of ballots in the trunk of a car, and those ballots just happen to flip the election to the D?
Why yes, then we do call out the vote fraud.
The fact that one election was "outside the margin of fraud" doesn't indicate that fraud doesn't exists, it just indicates that this time the win was too big to steal.
Want to get rid of allegations of vote fraud? Stop acting like your'e in favor of fraud
Serious Question
Y'all (most of y'all) are Older and Wiser than me.
Can Any of you (ANY?) think of a time, when late counting (or, recounting) votes didn't help the democrat? I can't think of one. In my recollection late precincts are democrat votes... Recounts, end up with HIGHER numbers of votes... Higher democrat votes
Please let me know, if any of you remember differently?
Then there is the cheating....

@Drago
Here's the text of that speech. Can you quote the part that you are referring to?
Ann,
It will be interesting to see how mild-mannered Democrats will be in the face of a slim victory for the other side in an election that you and your supporters believe you were supposed to win.
What, you've forgotten November 2016 already? Was there ever anything so pitiful as that HRC "victory party"? Not to mention that Time had to junk all of their pre-printed "Madam President" issue.
"Every vote will be counted...some more than once..."
Gateway Pundit is reporting a mysterious flip of thousands of votes in Bergen County at 1:53am from Ciattarelli to Murphy. Sound familiar?
Ann,
It's in a number of places, but here's a graf beginning at 30:49:
The test, as always, is to keep faith with our most basic ideals and today we are challenged from within and from without. If we fail this test, it will be because the progressive left will have won by default. It will be because the conservative cause, which has been the protector of our great American creed, lost its way and followed the left into the trap of identity politics, defining itself by resentments, instead of by ideals. It will be because we mistake reactionary skirmishes and the cultural wars with a coherent agenda. It will be because we gave too much allegiance to one passing political figure and weren’t loyal enough to our principles.
I mean, I do see his point: If conservatives keep getting sucked into petty spats with the Left over this and that racial/gender/identity initiative, the bigger conservative message can get lost. But in saying that in that case, "the progressive left will have won by default," isn't he conceding that conservatives ought to just let the Left win on all those points? That strikes me as unreasonably defeatist, and is probably what Drago had in mind.
I don't know about Drago, but I thought Ryan's speech was mainly civility bullshit, and an excuse to dump on the most successful Republican president since Reagan.
The only time I ever tune in to MSNBC or CNN is the day after and election: I'm always curious to hear how they spin the results.
In the total couple of hours I've had it on today, I heard a lot of blame for the NJ result foisted upon the failure in Congress to pass the BidenBuildBackBetterBill.
Of course, there was no explanation offered as to just how enacting the BBBBB would have changed things, except some vague claim that McAuliffe could have then proudly crowed about all of the great things in the bill.
I guess one have to say something, when you're getting paid to be on camera.
What are the chances that one day 50 years from now, a Kennedy ghost writer will write an updated Profiles in Courage, with a chapter about Manchin and Sinema? And win a Pulitzer.
I'm not Drago, but I think these are the references ..
excerpts from 23:55, 24:56 and 30:49
But as the left gets more woke, the rest of America is getting weary. This stuff is exhausting, and we conservatives have got to be careful not to get caught up in every little cultural battle. Sometimes, these skirmishes are just creations of outraged pedallers detached from reality and not worth anybody’s time. They draw attention away from the far more important case we must make to the American people. Culture matters, absolutely. Yes.
But our party must be defined by more than a tussle over the latest grievance or perceived slight. We must not let them take priority over solutions grounded in principle to improve people’s lives, because politics based on racial or other identity is always a path to deeper and deeper hostility, with sad and harmful consequences, and it is precisely the opposite of conservative thought.

It will be because we gave too much allegiance to one passing political figure and weren’t loyal enough to our principles.
Can you quote the part that you are referring to?
Not Drago, but I believe he was referring to these things. First, the slap at Trump:
"Even for our good showing in the House, 2020 left Republicans powerless in Washington. Even worse, it was horrifying to see a presidency come to such a dishonorable and disgraceful end. So once again, we conservatives find ourselves at a crossroads and here’s the reality that we have to face. If the conservative cause depends on the populist appeal of one personality or of second rate imitations, then we’re not going anywhere. Voters looking for Republican leaders want to see independence in metal. They will not be impressed by the sight of yes-men and flatterers flocking to Mar-a-Lago...."
Then the surrender on cultural issues:
"But as the left gets more woke, the rest of America is getting weary. This stuff is exhausting, and we conservatives have got to be careful not to get caught up in every little cultural battle. Sometimes, these skirmishes are just creations of outraged pedallers [sic] detached from reality and not worth anybody’s time. They draw attention away from the far more important case we must make to the American people.
Culture matters, absolutely. Yes. But our party must be defined by more than a tussle over the latest grievance or perceived slight. We must not let them take priority over solutions grounded in principle to improve people’s lives...."
What is he referring to by "tussle over the latest grievance or perceived slight"? In the context of cultural issues, things like the redefinition of marriage, the submission to the demands of transgenders for validation (and financing) of their grievances? Abortion rights through the 9th month of pregnancy? The harassment and censorship of people who disagree with the prevailing leftist dogma on the above? Ryan seems to suggest we should just shut up and rely on our leaders to write yet more legislation. We don't need more legislation to "improve people's lives," thank you very much. How about staying the hell out of our lives?
Note to Drago:
We are now screening out all comments by Chuck, so don't say his name. If you do, we will delete you.
And I am not explaining the reason.
And I am not explaining the reason. Don't discuss this. As noted, I am deleting all future posts that name him — not promising to accomplish this completely, because I don't see everything, but I will delete whatever I see.
Headline up all morning on MSNBC:
"Glenn Youngkin's victory proves White ignorance is a powerful weapon"
I couldn't get a good link for Ed Durr's video ad because I'm not on Facebook. He's the guy who beat Steve Sweeney, the NJ Senate Leader, with a $150 campaign chest and a Facebook ad. It's video gold. Hopefully someone else can post it here.
THANK YOU ANN!!!
You tell me, rcocean: if I own a property I want to rent out to someone at a certain price, who are you to force me to rent it out at a lower price? Logic and rational economics, please, not the usual flapdoodle.
Paul Ryan once famously just smiled and nodded when Joe Biden told him to his face on live TV in front of a global audience in 2012: "these guys (republicans), always betting against America".
Which makes alot of sense given Ryan's wingman, Mitt "Sure I'll march with BLM" Romney, that same year surrendered on live TV in front of a global audience after Candy Crowley said 'boo' to him.
Paul Ryan at the Reagan Library in May of 2021: "But as the left gets more woke, the rest of America is getting weary. This stuff is exhausting, and we conservatives have got to be careful not to get caught up in every little cultural battle. Sometimes, these skirmishes are just creations of outraged pedallers detached from reality and not worth anybody’s time. They draw attention away from the far more important case we must make to the American people. Culture matters, absolutely. Yes.
But our party must be defined by more than a tussle over the latest grievance or perceived slight....
....And we need to be frank. Today, too many people on the right are enamored with identity politics in ways that are antithetical to Reagan conservatism.
"this stuff is exhausting"
"we conservatives have got to be careful not to get caught up in every little cultural battle"
"skirmishes" (like daughters getting raped in High School bathrooms by skirt wearing/female "identifying" rapists)
"are just creations of outraged pedallers detached from reality" (you know, like all the parents that had to watch their kids get forced fed CRT/identity politics; Like LLR Chuck, Ryan probably thinks those parents are all lying)
"not worth anybody's time"
"They draw attention away from the far more important case we must make to the American people"......about not defunding obamacare, or Planned Parenthood, or not funding the wall, etc (Perpetual Establishment-republican led Failure Theatre)
"tussle"
"grievance"
"perceived slight"
And, oh yeah, people on the right are also pushing Identity politics.
Sure Paul, sure.
There is not a single reference in that speech to any specific cultural issue where Ryan would draw the line.
It's not there because there is no where Ryan would draw the line.

The Democrat elite DNC Davos divas who worship the Clinton Hussein Obamas still won't change. Trump needs to be (re?)elected in 2024 to flip the power structure.
Praise the Lord!

"Thankfully the Republican won in Virginia. Now we won't have to listen to all the whining and crying about a stolen election."
Ha ha
well put
On a related note, how's the Racine County Sheriff's Office voter fraud investigation going? Any felony criminal referral's yet?

Last night's results showed the importance of becoming involved at the local level. When Fairfax, VA reported a problem that would require re-scanning of some ballots, the GOP had poll-watchers and GOP attorneys on site to make sure everything was on the up and up. The GOP had poll-watchers trained and ready at each precinct. This prevented the democrats from pulling their usual tricks.
So, if you believe there has been election fraud in the past, the best thing to do would be to attend your next local GOP meeting. You can become a precinct worker and help decide which candidates to endorse, have input into setting policy as to voting procedures in your county, and most importantly be a poll-watcher during elections in your county.
Yes, this. 1000x this.
And be there to push the Party to sue any time the Left tries to change the voting laws / procedures other than by a vote of the Legislature. Trump feel down on that in 2020, to all our cost.
Don't let hte GOP ever fall down on that again
In the Virginia race when Fairfax county began to "rescan votes" (whatever that is), Youngkin had lawyers on the scene right away. In New Jersey as CNN explained, the mail-in ballots were counted last and they would be mostly Democrat so that Murphy had that to fall back on. The result is that Virginia and New Jersey are established as reference points: a race won by Republican in-person voting; a race won by Democrat mail-in vote-harvesting - what happens to the citizens of the differently elected regimes? how many police/EMT's will lose jobs in NJ over vaccine mandates v. how many in Virginia? how many successful minorities will see their children's public school gutted by CRT in NJ v. seeing their children's public school restored in Virginia? Unemployment in NJ v. unemployment in Virginia? And so on.

Thank you Ann! I will gladly comply
All the ballets won't be in until the 8th. Then the challenges will start. No winner until after Thanksgiving. Jack has a team of lawyers ready to go and he is ready to fight. Not over by a long shot.
Consider this statement: "Racism has been ingrained into society through the incorporation of racialized practices into all the social and economic structures of the United States." Is this not an example of how CRT is now part of Virginia educational policy? That statement comes from the Virginia Department of Education web site.

"Anti-racism in Education
Key considerations to Remember about Racism and Anti-racism:
Avoid common misconceptions of racism and understand the requirements of anti-racism in order to successfully communicate and implement policies, processes, and procedures centered in anti-racism.
Racialized outcomes do not require racist actors. Racism goes far beyond individual instances of mistreatment due to skin color. The focus of an anti-racist education agenda should instead be on interrogating and dismantling the system of social structures that produces cumulative, durable, race-based inequalities.
Striving for equity and inclusion is not interchangeable with acknowledging systemic racism. Racism cannot be defeated unless it is named for what it is. By naming and framing racism it is no longer ‘masked’ by coded language and denial (from: How school and district leaders can address systemic racism).
Racism is dynamic and ever-changing. Racism has been ingrained into society through the incorporation of racialized practices into all the social and economic structures of the United States. The work to dismantle systemic racism—and create school environments grounded in the principles of anti-racism—must adapt to the dynamism of racism through ongoing and active work. In other words, school leaders should not expect to eradicate racism in a few weeks, but rather to continuously evaluate current and future practices with anti-racism as the goal (from: Racial Equity Tools, & Grassroots Policy Project. (n.d.). Race, Power and Policy: Dismantling Structural Racism). "

Looks like they found the votes they needed. I know, shocking right.

To people like Paul Ryan, secular identity matters more than truth. So they have to feign stupidity and pretend they don't know that Paul Ryan is a secular globalist whose priorities are:
1) foreign wars and excessive "defensive" buildup
2) tax cuts for oligarchs
It's supremely unconvincing, greatly irritates the vast bulk of people on the left and right, and doesn't even serve as good camouflage among SJW types. As for the speech, Paul Ryan was a high-level representative of the Republican Party, and doesn't once mention:
- abortion
- sexual deviancy
- Pedophilia, which has become a core issue for most nationalists in the face of the Epstein conspiracy.
Instead, he promotes "inclusivity" and "individualism." He's not a serious person, and his antidotes are completely useless in the face of open black supremacy and white genocide. Thankfully, the majority of American blacks don't buy into the constant incitement: they may be angry at white government and grateful for free stuff, but most of them want no serious engagement with the token racists at the highest levels of the Democrat Party. That's why his type is being kicked to the curb.
