Aside from the gains expected for the nation over the next four years, the Republican party got a subtle indication that their chances of remaining in power will last for quite a long time into the future.
It’s reported throughput the media, that topping those most influential in the Democrat party at present are Bernie Sanders and Representative Representative Keith Ellison, both hard core liberals if not flat out socialists.
Yesterday, according to FoxNews.com, Sanders tweeted an extended critique of his party in which he said: “I come from the white working class, and I am deeply humiliated that the Democratic Party cannot talk to the people where I came from. The Democratic Party has to stand with working people, feel their pain and take on the billionaire class, Wall Street and drug companies.”
However, the primary reason the Democrats were so soundly defeated is that their party is utterly and completely out of touch with “working" people. Sanders himself hasn’t been in touch with the real world since 1970, 46 long years ago. Here’s his Wikipedia resume:
“While a student he was an active civil rights protest organizer for the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. After settling in Vermont in 1968, Sanders ran unsuccessful third-party campaigns for governor and U.S. senator in the early to mid-1970s. As an independent, he was elected mayor of Burlington—Vermont's most populous city—in 1981, where he was reelected three times. In 1990 he was elected to represent Vermont's at-large congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he co-founded the Congressional Progressive Caucus in 1991. He served as a congressman for 16 years before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006. In 2012, he was re-elected with 71% of the popular vote. Polls indicate that he is among the senators most popular with their constituents, ranking third in 2014 and first in both 2015 and 2016.”
As far as the results of the presidential election’s are concerned, voters across the nation stated that the most important issues to them were jobs, livable wages, future opportunity and getting government out of their lives. Which is 180 degrees opposed to Sanders and his drive for higher taxation and increased government control.
Ellison is a "progressive," and he makes Sanders look like a conservative by comparison. A representative from Minnesota's 5th District, he announced his candidacy Monday to be the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
He backed Bernie Sanders in the presidential primary, and is a member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.
In 2013 he endorsed the Back to Work Budget, designed to raise a bevy of taxes and spend more than $1 trillion on public work projects over 10 years. That, they say, would have created by their count 7 million jobs in 2014 alone.
Progressives seek to raise taxes on everyone making more than $250,000, creating a top rate of 49 percent on income above $1 billion;
Over 10 years, the Congressional Progressive Caucus that he supports would spend trillions of dollars on everything from infrastructure to education grants to states while targeting against tax breaks for oil companies and deductions for corporate jets, which the CPC says will lead to $4.4 trillion in deficit reduction over 10 years.
Thus, we have a clear indication of what the Democrat trend will most likely be for the future. And it hasn’t really changed very much for quite a long time now. No matter how you slice, dice or package the description of the objective, it remains as redistribution of wealth. Which voters have now shown a total disliking for.
Along the same lines of Democrat philosophy, more information’s become available regarding the anti-Trump rioting.
Kyle Ibosh writes @kgw.com: “More than half of the anti-Trump protesters arrested in Portland didn’t vote in Oregon, according to state election records.
“At least sixty-nine demonstrators either didn’t turn in a ballot or weren’t registered to vote in the state.
“KGW compiled a list of the 112 people arrested by the Portland Police Bureau during recent protests. Those names and ages, provided by police, were then compared to state voter logs by Multnomah County Elections officials.
“Records show 34 of the protesters arrested didn’t return a ballot for the November 8 election. Thirty-five of the demonstrators taken into custody weren’t registered to vote in Oregon.
“Twenty-five protesters who were arrested did vote.”
So, two alternatives are now apparent, both of them negative for Democrats. Because, if local rioters took to the streets in protest but didn’t even make the effort to vote themselves, that supports the premise that these are nothing more than spoiled infantiles fearing loss of future government handouts.
But, on the other hand, if the rioters were imported by one’s such as Soros, that speaks loudly as to how low Democrats are willing to go to mislead, misdirect and intellectually insult the public.
And then, another favorite topic made the headlines.
As written by Alister Doyle and Nina Chestney @ca.news.yahoo.com: “U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Tuesday action on climate change has become "unstoppable" and predicted that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump would drop plans to quit a global accord aimed at weaning the world off fossil fuels.
“At a meeting of almost 200 nations in Morocco to work out ways to implement the 2015 Paris agreement to limit greenhouse gas emissions, Ban said U.S. companies, states and cities were all pushing to limit global warming.
"What was once unthinkable has become unstoppable," he told a news conference of the Paris Agreement, agreed by governments last year, and which formally entered into force on Nov. 4 after a record quick ratification.
“Ban said Trump, as a "very successful business person", would understand that market forces were already driving the world economy towards cleaner energies such as wind and solar power, as they become cheaper and away from fossil fuels.”
While it would be pleasing to reiterate once more about the magnitude of this farce and the financially based rationale for its perpetration, once again readers concisely provided appropriate responses.
Reader Chris wrote: “Banky Moon can do whatever he wants. He can go to the top of an Aztec temple and preach the HOAX. But it won't change the fact that the "pay window" for such nonsense is now closed. You'll just have to go somewhere else to get funding. If you have any checks from the US government that remain uncashed just stamp them NSF.”
koyettsu opined: “When you can provide data that shows the earth is warming, I will listen to what any of you have to say. Thus far, every piece of data has been proven false, the scientists have had to admit they made all the data up. I don't believe something that requires someone to make up data to convince people to believe in.”
And then, a friend sent this one, which speaks for itself:
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
