4 Dumbest Democratic Reactions To Their Stunning Defeat In The Georgia 6th
10484158110290
For eight months since the election, the Democratic Party has teetered on the brink of suicidality. Driven mad by the election of President Trump, they’ve decided to waste their political capital on rumor mongering about Trump’s supposed nefarious Russian connections and fulminating about a “stolen election.” They’ve lashed out in rage at the electorate, which they’ve termed racist and sexist and homophobic. They’ve failed to come to grips with the one simple fact that explains why Donald Trump won: Hillary Clinton was the worst candidate in the history of the republic, and the Democrats went all-in for her.
For eight months since the election, the Democratic Party has teetered on the brink of suicidality. Driven mad by the election of President Trump, they’ve decided to waste their political capital on rumor mongering about Trump’s supposed nefarious Russian connections and fulminating about a “stolen election.” They’ve lashed out in rage at the electorate, which they’ve termed racist and sexist and homophobic. They’ve failed to come to grips with the one simple fact that explains why Donald Trump won: Hillary Clinton was the worst candidate in the history of the republic, and the Democrats went all-in for her.
Because Democrats still can’t come to grips with that fact, they’re now applying the same outrage tactics to voters in the Georgia 6th Congressional District that they’ve applied to voters in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin since November. Never mind that the GA-6 has been Republican for four decades, and that only a bizarre confluence of events even led to the district being competitive. No, 31-year-old ne’er-do-well Jon Ossoff would have won if it weren’t for Republican bigotry.
With that in mind, here were the four most indicative Democratic responses to Ossoff’s loss to solid Republican Karen Handel.
1. Republicans Are Just Evil. Here’s feminist writer Jill Filipovic on the topic:
At what point is this not a failure of Democrats but toxic, vindictive voters willing to elect hateful bigots? http://ift.tt/2sv2ID0 …

I know, it's more convenient to blame the party for just not convincing people. But what kind of ppl vote for candidates like Handel, Trump?

At some point we have to be willing to say that yes, lots of conservative voters are hateful and willing to embrace bigots.

Some are even motivated by bigotry - it's the bigotry that speaks to them. There's no winning that if Dems keep their soul.

Maybe instead of trying to convince hateful white people, Dems should convince our base - ppl of color, women - to turn out. Cater to them.
Given that this was Hillary Clinton’s exact strategy in 2016 and it failed dramatically, Democrats should certainly continue to insult voters with whom they disagree.
2. Democrats Must Move To The Left. After barely losing in South Carolina and Georgia, some Democrats now say that their party must embrace Bernie Sanders socialism and radical transgender bathroom policies. Or something. Here’s Sally Kohn:

Best thing that could come out of the #GA06 results is for Democratic Party to finally give up its self-destructive obsession with centrism
Good idea, Sally. Let’s do that.
3. We Need A Hug. Alyssa Milano certainly had the most amusing reaction of the evening. After Hollywood spent an inordinate amount of time and resources pushing Ossoff to defeat, Milano mourned:
~GROUPHUG~ get in.
Okay then. Weird, but okay.
4. Civility Will Never Work! Over at the The Washington Post, Paul Kane theorizes that Ossoff was too polite. “The most passionate Democratic activists have wanted a full-frontal assault on Trump and congressional Republicans, angrily denouncing party leaders for not aggressively supporting more progressive candidates,” writes Kane. “So Ossoff chose the high priest route instead of the fierce warrior. It was civil disobedience rather than civil unrest. And he still lost, by an even wider margin than the almost forgotten Parnell.” Yes, Democrats need to get more aggressive, speak more loudly, be ruder and more obnoxious. That’s the ticket! Democrats have been so befuddled by Trump that they now believe that Trump won by being vulgar, not because Hillary was an awful candidate. Never mind that Karen Handel is the most polite, milquetoast Republican candidate in recent memory and just shellacked Ossoff.
All of these responses are self-congratulatory, of course. They acknowledge no Democrat sin other than failures of purism. They don’t get that their entire approach is failing because they are alienating half the country — and so they continue to alienate half the country.
Brilliant.
Please, Democrats, keep the hot takes coming.
Everyone's Laughing Their #Ossoff At This CNN Photo
Dispiriting, demoralizing, despairing losses tend to reveal the true character of a man, or even a conspiracy-driven, last-place cable news network that has spent the last 6 months advocating for the assassination of President Donald Trump.
My favorite example is this, CNN's "precious conscience" using the word "we" on the terrible night of Trump's triumph over Madam Hillary. And last night, as it became clear in Georgia's 6th district that once more an untold number of super-smart predictions and narratives would go up in smoke, it happened again at CNN…
Trump Vindicated? Study Shows Up To 5.7 Million Illegals Voted In Presidential Election
BY: JOSEPH CURL
A couple weeks after the 2016 election, President-Elect Donald Trump tweeted this: "In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally."
The mainstream media scoffed and immediately set out to disprove his claim. And, of course, the MSM also galloped off to cover 2016 loser Jill Stein's effort to get a recount for Hillary Clinton, who had taken to her bed piled with cash to weep in solitude.
"Trump wrongly tells congressional leaders that millions of 'illegals' cost him the popular vote," said the Los Angeles Times. And there is one fact in that header: Trump lost the popular vote by 2,868,519, according to Dave Liep's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections.
Fast forward to today. The MSM is still trying to derail Trump on everything he does, but a new report has come out that shows Trump may well have been right in his claim.
JustFacts.com, an independent think tank, did some serious number crunching on immigration to the U.S. and said this about the 2008 election:
Based on:
-
the number of non-citizens in this poll,[1002] the margin of sampling error for their self-declared voting is ± 5 percentage points with at least 95% confidence.[1003] [1004] [1005]
-
the number of non-citizens in this poll who were in the database,[1006] the margin of sampling error for their undeclared voting is ± 8 percentage points with at least 95% confidence.[1007] [1008] [1009]
-
these study results and Census Bureau population estimates, 594,000 to 5.7 million non-citizens voted illegally in the 2008 election.[1010] [1011]
Thus, if that many illegals voted in 2008 -- up to 5.7 million -- then it's perfectly reasonable to think that as many -- or more -- voted in the 2016 election. Just Facts said that in 2012, 3.2 million to 5.6 million noncitizens were registered to vote -- and 1.2 million to 3.6 million of them cast ballots. Remember, Trump lost the popular vote by 2.8 million.
Said the Washington Times:
Just Facts President James D. Agresti and his team looked at data from an extensive Harvard/YouGov study that every two years questions a sample size of tens of thousands of voters. Some acknowledge they are noncitizens and are thus ineligible to vote.
Just Facts President James D. Agresti and his team looked at data from an extensive Harvard/YouGov study that every two years questions a sample size of tens of thousands of voters. Some acknowledge they are noncitizens and are thus ineligible to vote.
Just Facts’ conclusions confront both sides in the illegal voting debate: those who say it happens a lot and those who say the problem nonexistent.
In one camp, there are groundbreaking studies by professors at Old Dominion University in Virginia who attempted to compile scientifically derived illegal voting numbers using the Harvard data, called the Cooperative Congressional Election Study.
On the other side are the professors who conducted the study and contended that “zero” noncitizens of about 18 million adults in the U.S. voted. The liberal mainstream media adopted this position and proclaimed the Old Dominion work was “debunked.”
The ODU professors, who stand by their work in the face of attacks from the left, concluded that in 2008 as few as 38,000 and as many as 2.8 million noncitizens voted.
Mr. Agresti’s analysis of the same polling data settled on much higher numbers. He estimated that as many as 7.9 million noncitizens were illegally registered that year and 594,000 to 5.7 million voted.
But the Huffington Post said the findings were "doubtful," and offered up its own math.
The analysis by the think tank Just Facts is based on Harvard/YouGov data, the same source of data for a 2014 study used to support President Donald Trump’s claim that millions voted illegally in the most recent election. Brian Schaffner, a political science professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst who helps manage the data source the 2014 analysis was based on, debunked that analysis in November, saying it extrapolated based on answers from respondents that were likely errors.
James Agresti, the president of Just Facts, told The Washington Times the details of his analysis were “technical” but his results were based on a more conservative analysis and were more accurate than those of the 2014 study.
In 2012, Schaffner and his colleagues went back and re-interviewed the 121 people from the earlier study who said they voted in 2010 but weren’t citizens. Of those 121 people, 36 changed their answer and said they were, in fact, citizens. Of the 85 people who maintained they were non-citizens, researchers could not match a single one to a valid voter record.
In an email, Schaffner said the conclusion of Agresti’s study was highly doubtful and readers should be skeptical for the same reasons they should have doubted the study of the 2010 data.
“The most important is that the new study makes the same error as the old study in terms of ignoring measurement error on the question they use to identify supposed non-citizens when we have in fact demonstrated that many people answer that question incorrectly,” Schaffner wrote in an email.
The MSM, of course, has no intention of getting to the bottom of the story. In the bag for the Democrats, finding out the truth would likely anger the very people the Democrats are trying so hard to hang onto.
But that's not working very well: The party has lost all four of the special House elections this year -- while declaring each one was a "referendum on Trump."

Saudi royal shakeup… is Trump’s doing!?
He is known as MBS and his promotion to Saudi Arabia’s crown prince shocked the world — and experts say it’s because of Saudi’s respect and admiration for President Donald Trump.
At age 31, Mohammed bin Salman already controlled the kingdom’s defense policy and was overseeing a massive internal economic overhaul with the backing of his father, King Salman. His sudden appointment Wednesday to the position of crown prince places him as first in line to the throne, cementing his position as the driving force behind Saudi Arabia’s major moves and seemingly charting Saudi policy for the coming decades.
He is regarded as a bold and ambitious risk taker — much like Trump. He has also begun elevating women's rights and pushing back against the nation’s harsh Sharia Law police, a move praised by conservatives worried about the unchecked radicalization of Islamists throughout the Middle East.
Even before the royal decree was issued by the king, MBS’ plans have resulted in a dramatic shake up of a once predictable and slow-moving country that for decades lagged behind its Gulf Arab neighbors, like Dubai with its glistening skyscrapers and tourist attractions.
In the two-and-a-half years since his father was crowned king, MBS has managed to sweep aside any competition from princes who are older and more experienced than him, most notably his cousin Prince Mohammed bin Nayef who had been in line to inherit the throne.
The final move in his rise? Being host to Trump’s successful visit to Saudi Arabia this past spring.
Khaled Batarfi, a Saudi columnist and professor at King Faisal University, is among those who support MBS’ ascension.
“The current situation requires a lot of effort and quick decision-making and courage,” he said. “The past generation may not be as quick rhythmically or have the speed that’s needed to carry out a transformation.”
“The country needs new blood and a new generation because the changes needed are big,” Batarfi said.
A snapshot of the crown prince’s many titles reveals just how vast his portfolio is. He is also defense minister; deputy prime minister; chair of the Supreme Economic Council; head of a council overseeing the state-run oil giant Saudi Aramco; head of the Public Investment Fund; and a top member of the Council of Political and Security Affairs.
A little more than two years ago, MBS was a little-known figure in Saudi Arabia.
He served as the head of his father’s royal court when Salman was still crown prince. Unlike his many siblings, he never studied abroad or pursued a master’s degree, choosing instead to remain close to his father and study law at the King Saud University in Riyadh.
Within hours of Salman’s ascension to the throne, the monarch named his favorite son, MBS, defense minister. Two months later, they led Saudi forces into war in Yemen, becoming the face of a conflict framed in Saudi media as a battle against Shiite-led Iran’s ambitions for regional dominance and Islamic terrorism. The war whipped up nationalist fervor around the new king and his son. He would also be in charge of inking multi-billion dollar arms deals with Washington.
Domestically, MBS expanded his reach by turning to outside consulting firms to launch a plan to overhaul the kingdom’s economy. His goal is to drastically reduce the country’s dependence on oil exports after a plunge in prices nearly crippled Saudi Arabia’s ability to spend on national projects and foreign efforts.
MBS vowed to end Saudi Arabia’s “addiction” to oil, and pushed through politically-sensitive austerity measures that curbed spending on subsidies and the public sector — where the majority of Saudis are employed.
His Vision 2030 plan and its accompanying National Transformation Plan grabbed international headlines when he announced the country would publicly list a percentage of Saudi Aramco.
Social reforms, he’s argued, are also needed in order to bring the deeply Islamic nation into line with the United States.
MBS has promised amusement parks and more fun for his generation of millennials. For the first time in decades, Saudis can attend musical concerts in the kingdom and the powers of country’s feared religious police have been curbed.
More than half of the population of Saudi Arabia is under 25-years-old and 70 percent are under 35, representing a large potential consumer market, but also a massive challenge for the government to keep up with job creation and affordable housing. The Vision 2030 plan outlines specific goals, such as reducing the unemployment rate from around 12 percent to 7 percent.
And unlike previous Saudi royals in top positions of power, MBS has granted several interviews to Western media outlets.
In his most recent television interview, aired in May on Saudi TV, MBS delivered a strong warning to Iran and ruled out any dialogue with officials there. Framing the tensions with Iran in sectarian terms, he said it is Iran’s goal “to control the Islamic world” and to spread its Shiite doctrine
“We know we are a main target of Iran,” Prince Mohammed said, warning that he “will work so that it becomes a battle for them in Iran and not in Saudi Arabia.”
King Salman dispatched MBS to Washington in March to meet President Donald Trump, a visit that helped lay the groundwork for Trump’s historic first overseas visit to Saudi Arabia last month.
MBS has effectively ingratiated himself with the new U.S. administration by presenting himself as “a younger version of Trump” by being both statesman and businessman.

Massive Finding in Seth Rich Murder… Hillary Camp Will Panic
BY TIFFANI GREY
The mysterious murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich just got a lot more mysterious with the release of a new report that utterly debunks the official version of how the man died last summer.
Since Rich’s death when he was shot walking home in Washington, D.C. on July 10 of 2016, many have suggested something more sinister occurred than a simple robbery gone bad. “Conspiracy theorists on the right suggested Rich, a DNC staffer, was behind a WikiLeaks publication of a trove of DNC emails less than two weeks after his murder,” Newsweek reported.
According to a new investigative study released Tuesday, Rich may have been killed by a hired killer or serial killer. It took a group of volunteer students and graduates from George Washington University to dig into this unsolved case, despite unanswered petitions asking the government to appoint a special investigation into Rich’s murder. These forensic-psychology students and instructors made up the group known as The Profiling Project.
“Seth’s death does not appear to be a random homicide,” the report stated in its summary of findings. Contrary to the police reports claiming that Rich’s death was a robbery gone awry, the report stated that “Seth’s death does not appear to be a robbery gone bad” and was “more likely committed by a hired killer or serial murderer.”
As others have noted, most robberies don’t end in murder and most robberies do end with stolen goods. Rich still had all his valuables on his person.
The Arlington, Virginia based Profiling Project said the “offender brought a most likely unregistered firearm to the crime-scene, utilized the firearm and most likely carried the firearm away from the crime-scene with them post-commission.” The report characterizes this as “bold behavior in D.C., which has some of the strictest gun laws in the country.”
The facts of the case as studied by the volunteers points to a killer who was well aware of these laws, and was comfortable in breaking them. The killer was able to successfully elude police after the deed, “Indicating (the) offender had either previously killed, or a significant amount of preparation had gone into planning for this kill,” the report found.
Additionally, like a scene out of ABC’s “Scandal,” “The crime-scene appeared to be almost sanitized … No firearms casings were reported to be found, no physical evidence was reported.” They concluded the killer did “not appear to be psychotic,” but rather methodical in the execution of the crime and in fleeing and remaining unidentified by law enforcement officials.
Rich’s family was reportedly not contacted to assist with the Project’s investigation, in order to give a fair and unbiased review of the case. Brad Bauman, the spokesperson for the Rich family, made a statement following the revelation saying:
“The Rich family was not provided a copy of the preliminary report, never saw the report or was otherwise consulted in the preparation of the report. I received the report a half an hour before it was made public thus depriving myself, the family or the family’s lawyers any reasonable time (to) review it. As noted, by the report’s methodology, ‘The Profiling Project’ was given no special access to any materials, evidence or persons and due to case sensitivity, conducted only informal, limited interviews. Given that fact, the family hopes that the general public takes the findings at face value.”
Kevin Doherty, leader of The Profiling Project, said he does not believe RIch was murdered by a professional assassin.
“A professional killer, whose sole job would have been to terminate Seth, did not accomplish their mission prior to escaping,” Doherty said, referencing the fact that Rich did not die at the crime scene.
Despite what Doherty said, it seems unlikely that a serial killer just happened to hit the one guy in D.C. who was party to a bunch of secrets and possibly leaked to WikiLeaks in the middle of an election. One thing is clear: this case is nowhere near closed.
Obama Social Security Scandal Leaks – Massive Corruption Rocks Washington
A now-exposed massive Obama-era scandal PROVES the Washington establishment is taking the money of hardworking Americans and throwing it at illegals. This is huge!
A new audit of the Social Security Administration (SSA) shows that the government paid $1 billion over the last ten years to individuals who don’t have a Social Security Number (via FOX News). Illegals are stealing Social Security benefits!
We’ve known for years that illegal aliens were receiving handouts under-the-table from the Federal government, but the Democrats consistently deny it. Now, there’s no way to hide the law-breaking that’s been going on!
A recent audit found errors in the documentation for representative payees–individuals who receive payments on behalf of someone else. THOUSANDS of cases were found to have no Social Security Number (SSN) on file.
Illegal aliens and the Democrats who support them have found a loophole they can abuse to give money to people who shouldn’t be in our country in the first place. The amount of money they’re stealing from taxpayers is incredible.
The total number of representative payees without an SSN was 22,426. That amounts to $1 billion! The auditor estimated that the loss of money would continue unless immediate action is taken to fix this issue:
“Furthermore, unless it takes corrective action, we estimate SSA will pay about $182.5 million in benefits, annually, to representative payees who do not have an SSN or paper application supporting their selection.”
Outrageous! We’re going to be losing $182.5 million a year! Imagine if we invested that money in real (read: legal) American citizens. We would see massive prosperity here at home. Instead, the money is fraudulently allocated to illegals who send most of it back to their home countries–and don’t pay taxes on what they keep.
This illegal activity calls for a massive clean-up of our Social Security program. The Social Security Administration is a hotbed of bureaucratic corruption like so much of the Federal government. Democrats have designed welfare so that it most benefits their target demographics, including the illegal aliens who help them commit voter fraud. Meanwhile, honest Americans have a hard time getting help.
American citizens do the work that keeps the country moving. We pay taxes that support schools, infrastructure, hospitals, and social welfare programs. But if you’re a law-abiding citizen, you have to go to hell and back to qualify for assistance when you need it. Illegal aliens, on the other hand, just show up and are handed benefits–no questions asked!
Leftists have created a backward system; a system that treats illegals better than our citizens. It truly is sickening that this has been going on for so long. And it’s not just Obama–plenty of RINO Republicans support this abuse, too. They’re all part of the same establishment.
The first step is for President Trump to order a cleanup of the Social Security Administration ASAP! That includes prosecuting illegals caught stealing benefits. Then, we need to toughen our borders to prevent more illegals from eating up our hard-earned tax dollars. Let’s build that wall!
For decades now, self-serving Nevada politicians have reflexively, Pavlov-like, belched opposition to Yucca Mountain and brow-beat anyone in the state who dared suggest we at least consider the potential benefits of storing the nation’s nuclear waste 90 long miles away from Las Vegas.
In a YUGE shift, now the state’s largest newspaper, the Las Vegas Review-Journal, has joined calls for an open discussion on this very serious issue with its lead editorial this morning…
“(F)or 30 years, it’s been politically expedient for Nevada politicians to rail against the proposal — with varying degrees of conviction, of course — and engage in all sorts of alarmism about everything Yucca. Yet even the most powerful member of Congress in the history of Nevada could succeed in only temporarily shelving the project.
“The question that Nevadans should now be asking their representatives is simple: What’s the back-up plan? Pounding fists on the table and yelling ‘no, no, no’ makes for wonderful TV soundbites. But what about the potential for the state and its residents to benefit financially from Yucca Mountain? Money for education and infrastructure development? Tax breaks?
“Why is it heresy to investigate what the federal government has to offer? Because if there is no back-up plan to reflexive opposition, there’s a chance that Nevadans will get screwed a second time.”
Exactly.
Do the math. It’s 49 states vs. Nevada. Even the Strip wouldn’t give odds on such a lopsided contest. So isn’t it time for responsible elected officials to at least consider how Nevada might get some gold instead of just the shaft?
Cheers.

P.S. Because I “cut the cord” almost three years ago, I don’t get FOX News. But with internet-based Sling TV I do get CNN. So I cranked up the wi-fi and tuned in to the Fake News Channel to watch President Donald Trump’sspeech in Iowa last night.
But CNN didn’t carry it. Instead there was nothing but the usual Trump-bashing and reports on the latest “developments” over the so-called Russia collusion witch hunt while the president was speaking.
CNN is no longer a legitimate news organization. The White House should rescind its media credentials.
