Dixcus বলেছেন...: I agree with Barack Obama. Noted Indian-American Kamala Harris ... the first Indian-American to ever be elected to Congress ... is looking like she might lose the election, and you know who's fault that is?

Black men.

Barack ... who is the only black man allowed by the Democrat AWFL's to own a home on Martha's Vineyard without the United States military being called to remove him to a "camp" onshore ... is right.

Black men are ruining it for Kamala. The Indian-American.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৬:০৮ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: By the way ... Maureen Dowd's column today was horrific. In it, she maintains:

[Kamala Harris] needs to make the case for herself more assertively.

There simply IS no case for Kamala Harris. She is either the continuation of the Biden Presidency, which has been so rejected that he has been the only US President to be the victim of a coup that hasn't resulted in even a single arrest ... or she rejects the Biden Presidency and wishes to take the country in a new direction.

She hasn't rejected Biden's Presidency. In fact, on The View, she said she would change NOTHING that Biden has done. But if she did decide to take the country in a new direction (and 78% of Americans say the country is on the wrong track) then she'd have to posit that direction. She'd have to say: "This is where I want to take the country, and here's why."

But she cannot do that. She is mentally retarded. That's not a slur. It's a medical diagnosis. She is mentally retarded and simply does not have an IQ high enough to explain to the country where she would like to take it.

So, sorry Maureen: You aren't going to see any forceful or assertive case be made by Kamala Harris. She is incapable of that mentally, which is why as a DA in California, they NEVER LET HER TRY A SINGLE CASE.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৬:১৮ PM
rehajm বলেছেন...: To clarify…The Vineyard has long been a haven for elite blacks…; ১২/১০/২৪, ৬:২২ PM
rehajm বলেছেন...: The Florida refugees returned today. Even got power back this evening. Who’s in charge there?; ১২/১০/২৪, ৬:২৩ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: Then there aren't too many elite blacks. There are exactly 326 black people living on Martha's Vineyard, out of 20,530 residents. This represents 1.59% of a population that in the United States represents 13% of the population.

The only possible explanation for this disproportional impact of opportunity to live on Martha's Vineyard can be racism.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৬:৩৬ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: Not sure, but you can bet that he's not hand-feeding supplicants any Doritos in the Governor's Mansion.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৬:৩৭ PM
NorthOfTheOneOhOne aka Doug Emhoff's Pimp Hand বলেছেন...: Tim Walz took a group pheasant "hunting" today. I say; "hunting" because no one in the party had a shotgun. I guess it was more of a pheasant taunting trip than anything else.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৬:৪৭ PM
Mason G বলেছেন...: "The only possible explanation for this disproportional impact of opportunity to live on Martha's Vineyard can be racism."

Based on the left's own definitions, this would seem to be true.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৬:৪৯ PM
BUMBLE BEE বলেছেন...: Barry is, like Kamalalala, only half black. I don't know if black men buy the story.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৬:৫৩ PM

tastid212 বলেছেন...: Here's something that has puzzled me for a long time. Maybe someone can explain it to me. Dozens of polling companies monitor political races nationally, statewide and locally. Yet we always read about "internal polls" conducted by the political parties themselves that are presumed to be more accurate. How can that be? What advantage does a group of overtly partisan, temporary pollsters have over professional polling firms that do this all the time? What are internal polls measuring that outside pollsters aren't?; ১২/১০/২৪, ৬:৫৮ PM
Sydney বলেছেন...: You Madisonians have a very lovely lake. It seems just the right depth and size to catch the light of the sunrise in beautiful ways that you don't get with large bodies of water.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৭:০০ PM
rehajm বলেছেন...: The only possible explanation for this disproportional impact of opportunity to live on Martha's Vineyard can be racism.

That’s stupid…; ১২/১০/২৪, ৭:০৬ PM
rehajm বলেছেন...: You can buy more accurate polling with larger sample sizes and slice and dice the data in ways the public polls never bother to do. Also big focus groups. That’s how you learn the brothers aren’t going for Kamala…prolly know why, too but you don’t let that leak out..; ১২/১০/২৪, ৭:১৪ PM

MadTownGuy বলেছেন...: @Sydney, I lived in Madison for a while, and the lakes are very photogenic. But I also lived for a short while just off Lake Michigan, in Kewaunee County (almost Door County), and Lake Michigan has spectacular sunrises too; also, when it's just getting cold way up there, 'sea smoke.'; ১২/১০/২৪, ৭:১৯ PM

Breezy বলেছেন...: You get a bigger paycheck by asking more follow ups, having broader samples, and proving accuracy better than public polling.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৭:৩১ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: Yes. Yes it is, Rehajm.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৭:৩৫ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: Actually, he had one. It wouldn't shoot. Also, all the hunting orange he was wearing was literally PRISTINE, having just been bought from Wal-Mart that morning. He'd never worn ANY of this hunting gear before. As Instapundit noted, this is a failure of his staff to position him for success because any COMPETENT STAFF would have "dirtied up" the hunting clothing so that it looked used before ... you know, like Hollywood directors do it.

If it's not a 14-year-old "wrestling student" ... Tim Walz hasn't been interested.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৭:৩৮ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: The "internal pollsters" are measuring actual voter sentiment. The ones you read about in the mainstream media are only there to create content that the media wishes to then pontificate on. I can produce whichever outcome you want just by carefully selecting who gets polled. If you pay me.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৭:৪১ PM
NorthOfTheOneOhOne aka Doug Emhoff's Pimp Hand বলেছেন...: Yes, I see Insty's update. Looks to me like he couldn't figure out how to load it.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৭:৫২ PM
Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...: #1 Tennis player Novak Djokovic Instagram to Rafael Nadal on his announced retirement at the end of upcoming Davis Cup.

"Rafa, one post is not enough to express the respect I have for you and what you have done for our sport. You have inspired millions of children to start playing tennis and I think that’s probably greatest achievement anyone can wish for. Your tenacity, dedication, fighting spirit is going to be taught for decades. Your legacy will live forever. Only you know what you had to endure to become icon of tennis and sport in general. Thank you for pushing me to the very limit so many times in our rivalry that has impacted me the most as a player. Your passion for representing Spain has always been remarkable. I wish you best possible farewell in Malaga with Davis Cup team of Spain. I will be there in person to pay respect to your stellar career."; ১২/১০/২৪, ৭:৫৪ PM
Aggie বলেছেন...: Or maybe the group's self-preservational instincts cut in, and they made the gun unfireable. I would have been inclined to do the same, if I was stuck being there.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৮:৪২ PM
NorthOfTheOneOhOne aka Doug Emhoff's Pimp Hand বলেছেন...: That would imply that the group had been dragooned into going hunting with Walz. Where's the joy in that?!; ১২/১০/২৪, ৯:০৩ PM
Candide বলেছেন...: Yom Kippur is over. I am ‘Shabbos goy’, taking care of things. My Jewish family still not at the table. Better go check how they survived the ordeal.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৯:২৯ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: If it wasn't completely obvious who's team she's on ... please do go over to the NY Post to see Kamala Harris hob-knobbing with the Iranian terrorists.

https://nypost.com/2024/10/12/us-news/kamala-harris-mingled-with-iranian-regime-operative/

And yes, that is spelled correctly. And if there's anyone who knows how to hob a knob, it's Kamala Harris.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৯:৩৪ PM
wildswan বলেছেন...: I get it. They were looking for pheasants, hunting for them. But still I've got to wonder whether meandering about in a crowd was the right way to hunt? Maybe it's how knuckleheads do it?; ১২/১০/২৪, ৯:৪৩ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: We need to figure out how to get Tim Walz on a hunting trip with Kamala's new best beau Dick Cheney. You know ... for ... um ... reasons.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৯:৪৪ PM
Caroline বলেছেন...: Looks like the wind is picking up. Maybe we can finally move out of the doldrums.; ১২/১০/২৪, ৯:৪৮ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: The thing that continues to astonish me is that they think this sort of fake pandering works. They know something about the American people that most of us on the "smart" side of the aisle don't know. And that's who they are speaking to. They are talking to the idiots that we let vote.

John Conner: "We're not going to make it, are we? Humans, I mean."

T-800: "No. No, you're not."; ১২/১০/২৪, ৯:৪৯ PM
wildswan বলেছেন...: Here's a question for the college kids who are supporting the Palestinians because they believe the Palestinians are the indigenous inhabitants of the area and the college kids have a belief system which requires them to support the indigenous inhabitants. "You say that the Jews in Israel are settler-colonialists, driving out the indigenous Palestinians. Why then is it that the Jewish temple is on a lower archaeological strata than the Dome of the Rock?"; ১২/১০/২৪, ৯:৫৫ PM
Hassayamper বলেছেন...: I have a Benelli Super Black Eagle 3, a very fine gun, but compared to ordinary American pump and semi-auto shotguns, the manual of arms is different enough that a new shooter might find it as baffling as a driver working a stick shift for the first time.; ১২/১০/২৪, ১০:৪৪ PM
Inga বলেছেন...: https://www.rawstory.com/mike-flynn-executing-swamp-petrifying/

“Former Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, the controversial figure Donald Trump named to be his White House national security adviser, stunned observers with his answer to a question about potentially executing political enemies.

Flynn, who recently escalated violent rhetoric against Vice President Kamala Harris by calling her "an enemy of America" and saying we're at "war," was reportedly asked if he would consider "executing the swamp."

"General Michael Flynn was asked at the Rod of Iron Freedom Festival Friday night if he'd 'sit at the head of a military tribunal to not only drain the swamp, but imprison the swamp, and on a few occasions, execute the swamp.' General Flynn says 'What your sentiment is about is accountability' and that 'I definitely believe we need accountability,'" he reported Saturday.

“There's a way to get after this, but we have to win first," Flynn further said, according to the weekend report. “These people are already up to no good, so we gotta win first. We win, and then [Katy] Bar the door. Believe me, the gates of hell, my hell will be unleashed."“

Insane. Between Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Stephen Miller, and Michael Flynn, Trump has his henchmen eager and waiting.; ১২/১০/২৪, ১১:০৩ PM
Jim at বলেছেন...: I will be there in person to pay respect to your stellar career."

Pretty classy move by Joker ... considering that little shit threw him under the bus when he refused to get the jab.; ১২/১০/২৪, ১১:৩৯ PM
Jim at বলেছেন...: Insane. Between Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Stephen Miller, and Michael Flynn, Trump has his henchmen eager and waiting.

Even if true (which I doubt), good. Why should you guys have all the fun jailing and attempting to kill your political opposition.

You made the rules. Not my problem if they come back to bite you in the ass.; ১২/১০/২৪, ১১:৪৬ PM
Jim at বলেছেন...: Shabbos goy

Admittedly, I've never studied Judaism so I looked it up.
Learn something new every day.

The Yom Kippur War - on the other hand - taught me a lot at an early age.; ১২/১০/২৪, ১১:৫৮ PM
Gospace বলেছেন...: Gotta agree with Jim at. Milley arguably committed or conspired to commit treason. The Constitutional definition.

There is no defense for what he did.; ১৩/১০/২৪, ১২:০২ AM
Mutaman বলেছেন...: Jim Hoeft packs it in. Just like Fox, Newsmax, Rudy, and Salem Media. Can't figure it out- if the election was clearly rigged, how come none of the Know Nothings want to go to trial and prove it.; ১৩/১০/২৪, ১২:০৯ AM

Jim at বলেছেন...: I did not know that.

It's out there. If I recall, it was when the AO refused to let him play.
(as did the USTA)

Rafa was asked about it and - without accusing Joker of killing grandma - didn't stand up for him and pretty much blamed him for his own demise.

(nice to see another tennis fan); ১৩/১০/২৪, ২:৩৪ AM
Jim at বলেছেন...: Jim Hoeft (sic) packs it in

Jim Hoft is an idiot. Always has been. 10-15 years ago I'd correct him on his bullshit. He'd never fix it.

Haven't been to his site since. It's the right's version of DU, KOS, Media Matters, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, Daily Beast, CBS ...

Oh, wait. It's one guy. With a blog. In Saint Louis.
As opposed to? (see above)

btw, how's Air America doing these days?; ১৩/১০/২৪, ২:৪৩ AM
gadfly বলেছেন...: Catholic organizations are critical of Governor Whitmer for mocking the Eucharist, which I had to research to discover was the Catholic version of communion with God practiced with mindnumbing repetitiveness every week during Mass invoving a tastelees wafer and red wine or maybe grape juice - whatever.

So I suppose she needs to a say a thousand "Hail Marys" to be granted foregiveness by a priest for feeding someone a Dorito in manner similar to Catholicism's strange practice.

But the problem is that Gretchen doesn't worship the Pope. Pass the offering plate - no coins are allowed!; ১৩/১০/২৪, ২:৫৪ AM
rhhardin বলেছেন...: The Dorito is the body of Speedy Gonzales; ১৩/১০/২৪, ৩:১৭ AM
Breezy বলেছেন...: The Swamp put Flynn and his family through he’ll. He’s got all the right in the world to want those people held accountable. Even a federal judge drew well outside the lines of judicial conduct to persecute him, if you recall.; ১৩/১০/২৪, ৫:১৩ AM
Dave Begley বলেছেন...: Harmeet Dhillion was on Tucker’s show. She said Harris tried 8 cases in one year; a very low number.; ১৩/১০/২৪, ৫:২৬ AM
Big Mike বলেছেন...: I do not see how Republicans can end the abuse of the US legal system known as “lawfare” without punishing — severely punishing — the perpetrators. General Flynn’s case was a particular abuse of power by Andrew McCabe, retaliating against Flynn for writing a letter supporting a lawsuit initiated by a highly talented woman against McCabe for sex discrimination.; ১৩/১০/২৪, ৬:৩৭ AM
Jersey Fled বলেছেন...: Hmm…

What if abortion isn’t such a big issue after all?

planetgeo বলেছেন...: Long-time tournament level tennis player here. The Covid insanity cost Djokovic at least one grand slam title and maybe more. The Covid Karens really tried to make an example of him for refusing to get vaccinated. Now that follow-up studies have confirmed that the vaccinations neither prevented someone from getting Covid or from spreading it, Djokovic is owed an apology for the idiotic treatment, including his banishment from those events.; ১৩/১০/২৪, ৭:৫৬ AM

Aggie বলেছেন...: "...the manual of arms is different enough that a new shooter might find it as baffling .."

Yes, but. Governor 'Tim the Inept' claims he purchased the gun many years ago when he was 'big' into trap shooting, and it really saved his shoulder. You can believe that, just like you can believe everything else that he says, without exception. He would never mislead you with a lie about an otherwise inconsequential thing.; ১৩/১০/২৪, ৮:৩৩ AM
Aggie বলেছেন...: "mindnumbing repetitiveness....". How apropos to find that here.; ১৩/১০/২৪, ৮:৩৭ AM

A more innocent time.; ১৩/১০/২৪, ৩:০২ PM
Gospace বলেছেন...: invoving a tastelees wafer and red wine or maybe grape juice - whatever. Even as a non-Catholic I feel the need to correct you. They celebrate communion with the Body and Blood of Christ- as in literal transubstantiation. And AFAIK- no Roman Catholic, or for that matter, Orthodox Church, used grape juice in place of wine in Communion. That's strictly a practice of some Protestant denominations. Brought to you, of course, by female activists of the sort who brought prohibition to the USA.; ১৩/১০/২৪, ৪:০৭ PM
