Tea and Vitriol

Yawn.  Another election is over and the results have been completely underwhelming. When the smoke cleared. the battle lines remained pretty much the same as before.  Democrats and Republicans kept pretty much what they already had and made no real inroads into the other's territory. America is just as divided and polarized as it has been for years and that is really not going to change any time soon. While this was an off-year election, featuring local, parochial issues, President Donald Trump endorsed several Republican candidates, especially in the Democrat-dominated states of Virginia and New Jersey. They both lost, illustrating The Donald's impotence and lack of influence in purely local elections. This was especially evident in the race for New York City mayor. The Donald bluntly despised the candidacy of far-left leaning Democrat Zohran Mamdani, labeling him a Communist and an illegal alien, threatening to halt all federal aid to New York City if he were elected. The th...

There is an old saying, "Be careful what you wish for. You might get it." In spades. A few years ago, several Democratic mayors of large cities, mostly in the northern part of the United States, declared their cities to be "Sanctuary Cities." Notably, these mayors included the cities of New York City, Chicago and even the dying city of Rochester, New York. Unconcerned about their collapsing economies, their huge increases of crime, violence and homicide and their piss-poor public-school systems, these mayors declared that their cities would offer sanctuary to illegal aliens. These mayors declared that they would not permit their law enforcement agencies to assist the federal immigration services to identify, locate, arrest and deport illegal aliens. Their reasons were very simple, and none of them were really concerned about humanitarianism. First, it reaffirmed their pretenses of being progressive Democratic liberals. Second, it cost them virtually nothing, because...

  By now, most people who can read know who Alvin Bragg, asshole, is. He's the Manhattan district attorney who chooses to reduce violent felonies to the status of misdemeanors and lets the feral urban humanoids arrested for these crimes go free without bail pending their trials. This has allowed the self-same feral urban humanoids to commit more crimes and then, once again, being turned loose to continue in their chosen careers. Rinse and repeat. The result has been a meteoric increase in crime in Manhattan, that part of New York City under the jurisdiction of Alvin Bragg, asshole. Then, heady with that "success," Alvin Bragg, asshole, decided he needed to make a name for himself on a national, and international, scale. He decided to go after Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States! And not for the sake of pursuing justice or making America safer, because, God knows, Alvin Bragg, asshole, isn't concerned with either justice or safety. Alvin Bragg, asshol...
