Todays Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Irrelevant. Americans today need to know what too much #WINNING does to them. The National Centers for Environmental Information (theres your all-time politically correct name) issued a report on Monday that says that watching too much bad news can be hazardous to ones health. So now you know why all of your Democrat friends are feeling so bad these days.
Where were these guys when Obama and Kerry were surrendering to Irans Mullahs? Senate Democrats, feeling a sudden need to pretend to care about U.S. national security something that historically only happens when a Republican president is about to achieve a major foreign policy victory for the country issued their list of demands for what President Trump must include in any treaty with North Korea that will need to be ratified in the Senate.
These demands include the following:
The deal must include the dismantlement and removal of all nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons from North Korea. The U.S. must ensure a complete and verifiable denuclearization of North Korea, removing all items related to nuclear-weapons production to prevent the country from reversing course. North Korea must end its ballistic-missile program as well. North Korea must comply with anywhere, anytime inspections to ensure it is not cheating on the deal, and sanctions must be immediately restored if it does cheat. The deal must be permanent. If it strikes you that this list of demands reads like the list of goals the Trump Administration has been talking about in advance of the June 12 summit meeting in Singapore, thats because they basically are one and the same.
Look, the Democrats are beginning to panic about their prospects in Novembers mid-term elections. Bereft of any bright policy ideas of their own which might attract new voters, they are now going about the process of attempting to co-opt conservative positions on issues, starting with the negotiations with North Korea. This is what Bill Clinton taught them to do in 1996, and its what theyve in every election cycle since that time.
Just a couple of months ago they and their fake news media agents were convinced that they were headed towards a grand victory, a Blue Wave that would see them win a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, maybe the Senate as well, and make sweeping gains in state governorships and legislative houses all over the country.
But what had once been as much as an 18-point lead in congressional generic preference polling has now essentially disappeared as the Trump tax cuts have kicked the economy into high gear and good news for America continues to pour in from around the world. Americans are becoming optimistic about the future again one recent right direction/wrong direction shows the right direction answer coming in at its highest level in many years and that is never a positive sign for the eternally depressed and negative Democrats, who rely on human misery and suffering to build voter support.
Think about it: Have you seen a single Democrat politician or liberal talking head on your television talk about what a great thing it is that the Black and Hispanic rates of unemployment are at all-time lows? No, of course you havent. Democrats dont want Blacks and Hispanics to have jobs Democrats want Blacks and Hispanics to be dependent on the government because thats the best way to ensure they will continue to vote in overwhelming majorities for Democrats.
So, Democrat leaders such as they are see all this good news taking place, they see Kanye West and other young African American leaders beginning to speak out about this orthodoxy theyve held in place for half a century, and they have no idea at all what to do about it other than to resort back to the triangulation tactic theyve employed in every election cycle for 22 years. Thats what this Korea canard is all about, and youre going to see more of that kind of co-option of GOP positions taking place in the coming weeks.
Because the reality is that, as we sit here today, the overarching national momentum in this election cycle is firmly behind the Republicans now, just as the overarching mood of the public had moved behind Donald Trumps candidacy at this point in 2016. That could change between now and November, but it would take some extraordinary paradigm-shifting event to make it happen.
When you see San Fran Nan advocating for additional tax cuts and Chuckie Schumer out in Chicago or Detroit or Baltimore talking about the need to get tough on crime, youll know for sure that the once-vaunted Blue Wave is about to turn into a Red Flood. This is all very predictable.
About that Bill Clinton interview It occurs to me this morning that this NBC interview with Bill Clinton and an extremely uncomfortable James Patterson is a real teaching moment for Millennials. Because this is the first time in their adult lives that they have seen the real Bill Clinton that we all had to deal with throughout the decade of the 90s put on display for everyone to see.
There he was in all his sociopathic glory, shifting blame, denying responsibility, angry at being questioned, refusing to apologize and pretending that it is indeed he who is the actual victim here. Bills all about the whole #MeToo movement, only in his mind its all about him, not the many women he abused throughout his adult life. Poor, poor persecuted Bill. Why, I kept waiting for him to toss out the whole vast rightwing conspiracy canard just for fun.
Heres a hint for all you Millennials who were not really following politics while Bill was chasing 22 year-old interns around the Oval Office: The most telling line of that entire interview is when he says, when asked about his Monica Lewinsky scandal, Nobody believes I got out of that for free. I left the White House $16 million in debt.
See, with the Clintons, it was always all about the money. Bill and Hillary Clinton are Americas Greatest Grifters. Everything they did, every office they sought was all about what was in it for them. Their having debt at the end of Bills terms in office fact-checkers show it wasnt really even close to the number Billy boy tossed out was in their minds justification for having Hillary turn her gig as Obamas Secretary of State into a classic mob influence racket in which she was only too happy to sell U.S. foreign policy decisions to the highest bidders.
The Clintons both of them were always just in it for the money. They were always looking for their next scam. For Hillary, being elected President was going to be the most glorious scam of all.
Be happy she didnt make it there.
Just another day in Panicking Democrats America.
That is all.

They had this great chance in the spring of 2017 to meet and build a true strategy for the 2018 mid-term, and they screwed it up completely. This ‘impeach Trump’ theatrics failed.
Doesn’t help that nearly every week the media schedules another leftist privilege group for some absurd and hateful political theatre. And if the week of political theatre for one lefty group goes on too long the other groups become demoralized since they cannot stand one another.
More than happy, every day I thank God that she lost.
It's also almost word for word what Trump is demanding of any new Iran deal. If the President accepts any less from North Korea then the Democrats will call him to task over it.
But my feeling is that this is correct.
FUNNY, since WHEN have the democrats EVER been concerned about THAT with a deal involving Obama or Clinton!!!!
Thanks for posting. A very good article by David Blackmon.
Increasingly, I prefer the perspectives supplied by David Blackmon and Kurt Schlichter over the repetitive babbling of certain national radio hosts.
Flame away—I won’t be responding.
From your lips to God’s ear.
Dummy-dims sure picked a winner in loud-mouthed Perez. Guy cant win an election to save his soul.
Perez declared "abortion-on-demand is Democrats' ticket to victory." So if that doesn't work....I guess Perez is
looking at infanticide, assisted suicide, or perhaps mercy killing of the disabled as winning Democrat issues.
============================================
In Kansas, Repub Estes won by eight points; Dumbo Ossoff in GA failed to prevent a runoff...
even after every prog/Dumbo and his second cousin from East Overshoe, USA, sent Ossoff some 10 million dollars.
Earlier Democrats lost again b/c they failed to flip Zero Seats in Four Blue State Special Elections.
These latest total Democrat humiliations by the Russians occurred right after DNC genius
Tom Perez bragged Dems would show "resistance to Trump" could be translated into electoral victories.
To add insult to injury, the Minnesota, Connecticut, Virginia Democrat losses are the states the Russians threw to Hillary in the 2016 presidential election.
Go figure.
I do look forward to reading this column each and ever morning. The positive outlook is just so very refreshing!
Thanks!
Sorry folks, but if you believe Dems will not be doing well this fall, you are wearing just as big a blinders as the Left was when it came to Trump.
Every election where its mattered (non primary) has shown Dem enthusiasm to be huge... Every one.
Remember how you felt in 2010??? That’s how they feel now, and they are going to crawl over broken glass to vote.. and vote D.. for them its a referendum on Trump they don’t care who the D is, they don’t care what argument they offer to vote for them, all they care about is that a vote for the D is a vote against Trump....
If you are a D the midterm is a referendum on Trump, period.. and you better believe they are going to show up, be motivated and turnout.
Sadly the GOP and its ecosphere, have done nothing to talk to, let alone motivate the non traditional MAGA voter to show up... They simply keep offering the same old tired messaging they have for 20 years that didn’t get these voters to show up at any time in those 20 years, but somehow expec them to show up now.
At present, the GOP will lose a lot of purple and pink districts this fall... it won’t be a 1994 or 2010 slaughter, but it will be enough to lose the house.
The ONLY way I see this not happening at present , is if the D’s openly run on impeachment, if they do, then instantly these MAGA and Non Traditional Trump Voters are going to be motivated just as much if not more than the D’s....
But the GOP itself seems completely tone deaf to the realities of the election coming up, and the fact they NEED these non traditional voters because they are really offering up nothing to get them to care or show up at present.
No, Sir! Thank You!
Time for the SANE people in America to Assert themselves
The leftist scum will never quit, so neither should YOU.
