The Magic 8 Ball:
Democrat Candidate Selector Edition
Vice President Kamala Harris is being anointed as the Democrat Presidential Candidate after President Joe Biden’s awkward exit from the race just weeks before the Democrat National Committee Convention. More accurately, Democrat elites and the left-wing media are attempting to sell her to Democrat voter as the savior of the Democrat Party. This is not a subtitle sell, it is very heavy handed. In Democrat-think, such decisions are too important to be left to rank-and-file Democrat voters or even a truly open convention of delegates; a very small group of elites must step in and stage-manage everything for the "good of the Party."
It is a coronation.
The Democrat power brokers forced Biden out. And. Now they are stuck with the worst possible replacement candidate because of their own identity politics that made Kamala Vice President to begin with. As much as they might have wanted to pivot to another candidate, Kamala’s race and gender solidified her safety. BUT, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
As best as I can figure, it was a decision that appears to be driven by the iconic Magic 8 Ball toy. Primary votes don’t count, only the will of some Democrat elites who asked the Magic 8 Ball, “Who should we nominate?” Shook up the 8 Ball and flipped it over to read, “Answer Unclear. Try Kamala.”

Don’t Be Confused About Nov 5

There is confusion as to what is on the ballot on November 5. Note that I said, “what,” and not, “who.”
That’s because it’s really not about “who.”
Boiled all the way down, this is not a contest between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump. It’s not even a contest between two political parties. And it goes well beyond such things as tax policy, fiscal policy and national defense.
The 2024 election is a contest between two governing visions for this 235-year-old republic – two governing visions that have seldom in our history been more divergent.

Lightning Strikes Twice!

At this time in our nation many of us are laser focused on the upcoming November election, putting behind us a brutal impeachment trial and equally brutal primary election. We all know that Texas is that “last safe zone” to where normal people are heading. Texans are now planning to show up en masse to protect the last bastion of freedom in the US. God help us if we don’t.
While thousands of us are rightfully engaged, enlightened and energized for November, many of us are working overtime to look ahead to the upcoming local elections in May, 2025. Filing deadlines for Municipal and School Board races begin mid-January and end mid-February.
