The democrats have destroyed their own party from within.

'Beginning of the end of the Obama-Biden Democratic Party'

'Harris and Walz have made a thing of “turning the page,” but the page
that must be turned is the one they are on.

In recent years, beginning with Obama, the Democratic party has become
unmoored from its basic center-left policies and embraced ideas and
policies which are illogical, absurd, and increasingly unpopular. Things
like these:

Allowing open borders coupled with a very generous social welfare system
to be tapped by all who enter;
Endorsing chemical castration of children and allowing transgender women
into the private spaces of actual women;
Engaging in endless wars in which we have no genuine national stake;
Supporting UNWRA, which exists solely to attack our longtime ally
Israel;
Issuing regulations which limit productivity in everything in the name
of preventing the chimerical and unproven climate change;
Fighting all efforts to make national elections auditable;
Ignoring the violence on college campuses;
Committing significant First Amendment violations and pursuing frivolous
lawsuits against their opponents;
Defunding the police and allowing crime to flourish in blue cities;
Embracing corrupt dictatorial international bodies like WHO and WEF;
Promoting DEI policies which are discriminatory and resulting in ethnic
and racial identity, rather than merit, being the criteria for hiring
and promoting employees.
Looking at some tea leaves, I see the beginning of the end of this party
as presently constituted. It will soon have to refashion itself,
jettison its most outrageous members and their notions or be replaced by
another new party altogether.

The map reader (Harris) and the genius military strategist (Biden)

The elimination of Yahya Sinwar, head of Hamas, this week exposed once
again the moronic foreign policies of the Harris-Biden team. Both hailed
it, and Harris, with outrageous chutzpah, claimed credit for it, though
the administration is surely responsible for this having taken longer
than it should have.

As late as March of this year, Harris was still working to keep Hamas
intact:

“I have studied the maps… It would be a huge mistake for Israel to go
into Rafah.”

For months the Administration warned Israel not to go into Rafah.

In mid-March, US officials told the Politico news site that US President
Joe Biden would consider limiting future military aid to Israel if Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu moved ahead with an offensive against Hamas
in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah…

Vice President Kamala Harris famously said at the time that she had
“studied the maps” and that an operation was not viable, while warning
of potential consequences…

The intense global pressure led to months of delay, but the Rafah
offensive eventually went ahead in May regardless, with Israel
successfully evacuating the civilian population ahead of its push into
the city…

In fact, shortly before Sinwar was killed in a firefight, Secretary of
Defense Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken sent a letter
to Prime Minister Netanyahu threatening an arms embargo unless it met
the Administration’s absurd demands respecting Gaza. Now Harris says,
“Justice has been served, and the United States, Israel and the entire
world are better off as a result.” Now Biden says, “This is a good day
for Israel, the United States and the world.”

National security adviser Jacob Sullivan even asserts that U.S.
intelligence had helped Israel locate Sinwar. (If they knew where he
was, why did they fight so hard to keep Israel away from a man they
concede is a U.S enemy?)

Biden argued that going into Rafah would extend the fighting forever.
The Israelis finally ignored these threats and some recruits spotted
Sinwar who, after murdering the six hostages he had kept with him
underground as insurance, scampered out of a tunnel and they eliminated
him. Saturday, there were scenes of hundreds of Gazans leaving Rafah for
sheltered areas in the north or surrendering. That cesspool which the
Administration prevented from being sanitized will now surely be cleaned
out rapidly.

It’s hard not to be contemptuous of those who promulgated and endorsed
the Biden-Harris nitwit strategy and now try to pretend they are happy
that Israel’s ignoring them did the trick:

Secretary Blinken: “Yahyah Sinwar was responsible for the murder of
thousands of Israelis, Americans and Citizens of more than 30 countries,
His decision to launch the terror attacks on October 7 unleashed
catastrophic consequences on the people of Gaza. The world is a better
place with him gone.”

Tea Leaves

In the early 1980s I worked for the Department of Justice making several
trips to the USSR, and to me it was clear the place was crumbling. It’s
in small details that the bigger picture often becomes clear. For
example, how in the USSR censorship crippled their economy. The desire
to keep a lid on free expression, for example, meant that computers and
typewriters were kept under strict state controls, and even photocopies
had to be recorded by subject and numbers of pages and approved by
bureaucrats up the line. Yes, it meant unapproved writers and opinions
had to go through hoops to hand copy and distribute views contrary to
the state’s. No modern state, however, could survive and thrive this
way, was my view. Here's how I’m reading the tea leaves about the
Democratic party as presently staffed and their policies.

Senate Races

Absent enormous voting cheating of the sort, we saw in 2020, I think
Donald Trump will win. For the first time in decades, more voters have
registered as Republican than Democrat. Then look at what’s happening in
four swing states:

Ads have been released that show four Democratic Senate candidates in
battleground states either working with former President Donald Trump or
agreeing with his messaging as the November election is less than a
month away.

Campaign ads for Rep. Elissa Slotkin in Michigan, Sen. Sherrod Brown in
Ohio, Sen. Bob Casey in Pennsylvania, and Sen. Tammy Baldwin in
Wisconsin focus on the Democratic candidates' alliance with Trump or his
policies, implying that aligning with the former president may benefit
their campaigns more than siding with Democratic presidential nominee
Kamala Harris.

While Trump is behind Harris by 1.4 points according to the
RealClearPolitics polling average, he leads the vice president in
everybattleground state.

Then there’s the Al Smith Catholic Charity dinner

This is a major event every four years where the candidates roast each
other at a dinner the proceeds of which go to support charities. From
its inception until this year, only Walter Mondale skipped it. Kamala
Harris skipped it this year, submitting instead a video with an actress
who is openly anti-Catholic and which was so insulting to the Catholic
Church that in his closing benediction Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan omitted
mention of her.

Trump, who chatted and joked amiably with longtime foe Chuck Schumer,
was greeted by another foe, Governor Kathy Hochul, and prosecutor
Letitia James, whose case against him is in the process of being thrown
out on appeal, was in the audience looking less than overly confident.

Trump got in a number of zingers, but this by SNL’s Jim Gaffigan, seemed
in the video I saw, to have brought down the house:

"The Democrats have been telling us Trump's reelection is a threat to
democracy. In fact, they were so concerned of this threat, they staged a
coup, ousted their democratically elected incumbent, and installed
Kamala Harris.

"Sometimes [all her] prayers take 3.5 years and a George Clooney op-ed."

They all know and so do we. The effort to save the day by dumping Biden,
installing Harris, and keeping the same idiotic policies and advisers
has failed. Time to turn the page back to Trump'
