Elections

Congratulations to you. In no particular order, here are some public policy recommendations.

Are elections capable of delivering real results?

“Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.” –Jimmy Carter, 2005

Harris is the most anti-American Progressive that has ever gained the nomination of a major political party in American history.

The idea that Taylor Swift, who on Tuesday endorsed Kamala Harris for president, should purge from her life people, like Brittany Mahomes, who don’t share her political beliefs is not a healthy or enlightened one.

The idea that any one candidate is a threat to democracy is ridiculous, and anyone making such claims was never taught about our Constitution and the checks and balances within our three co-equal branches of government.

The Congressional Committee set up under then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi to “get to the bottom” of the “Trump-led insurrection” was an old-fashioned Soviet show trial, where the evidence was kept secret and the pre-determined verdict – guilty – was to be used to tighten the grip of the ruling regime and intimidate any further dissenters into silence.

Special interest groups and big donors make campaign contributions because they believe that the candidate will support legislation favorable to them and their agenda.

The Orwellian “Build Back Better” and “Inflation Reduction Act” plunders from the future to gratify hoped-to-be-Democrat voters now.

Instead of the United States abandoning the Electoral College, state legislatures should take us in exactly the opposite direction. From now on, they should abandon a statewide popular vote for president, and instead either appoint electors directly or implement an Electoral College-type system within each state.

President Biden and those around him are attempting to implement through executive order and other means are policies and political positions that many in the society do not share or to which they do not assign the same degree of urgency.

The ‘progressive’ left and ‘conservative’ right are two sides of a damaged coin. The two sides have differences, but they also have important elements in common, although these are manifested in somewhat different forms.

The Republican Party nominated, worked to elect, then stood behind a man who is amoral and unhinged, a man who is the tribal lone wolf that Ayn Rand described in “Selfishness Without a Self.”

Whatever 2020 election interference was committed by China, Russia and Iran pales in comparison to the election interference routinely engaged in by our left-wing media,

As to Trump’s campaign to expose the media’s blatant, often vicious anti-Republican bias so that much of America will never again trust it, Trump won. Huge.

“The left, as a rule, does not want to hear thoughtful disagreement.”

Elections failed to prevent every recent American commander-in-chief from expanding and exploiting the dictatorial potential of the presidency. 

Michelle Obama’s words imply that if there is to be healing and uniting it means that all those who think the “wrong” way must come over and only think according to the anti-capitalist “progressive” worldview of those on “the left.”  

I have a public message for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I will keep it brief and rated “G.”

No matter what happens with the presidency, it appears, as of this writing, that Republicans have a good shot at retaining control of the Senate.

No matter who wins the election, what remains of American freedom will be in serious jeopardy. Nevertheless, on just about every issue, Biden and the Democrats are more anti-freedom than Trump and the Republicans.
