We are a nation of some 332 million people, 360 million if we count the illegals.  Given that mass of humanity, it’s remarkable to contemplate just how much one person has been able to affect the nation.  That person, of course, is Donald Trump.  Never has there been such a threat to the system.  No, not a threat to “our democracy,” whatever that means.  Not a threat to our national security, to law and order, or to any minority group, real or imagined.  Not a threat to democracy, but a threat to political orthodoxy, the corrupt system run by the elites of the deep State – the people who will permit us to have elections, just so long as we keep electing candidates who are willing to play their crooked game.  Candidates are allowed to promise big changes: for example, FDR’s New Deal; JFK’s New Frontier; LBJ’s Great Society; Il Duce Obama’s Hope and Change.  You can have all the catchy phrases you like to get elected, so long as, once you are elected you don’t change the status quo.  Translation – you don’t threaten to upset the plans of the elected crooks and the rich pricks who put the elected crooks in office.  The Deep State consists of the elected crooks, the formerly elected crooks who now are lobbyists making sure that the rich pricks get richer, and the insidious bureaucracy that infests every department of the government.  These are the people who run the government, regardless of what the current occupant of the White House says he wants.  The State Department is a perfect example.  Before Trump ran for president, he met with Henry Kissinger, and Kissinger’s advice was, “don’t listen to the State Department.”  It’s always been that way.  Harry Truman recognized the State of Israel after the State Department told him “you can’t do that.”  Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem over the objection of the State Department.  Every time Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden says he’s going to defend Taiwan, the State Department says, “No we’re not.”  The thing is, presidents come and go, but the Deep State is forever.  Then along came Trump in 2016.  At first, the Deep State wasn’t concerned.  Candidates make a lot of promises, and anyway, Trump was considered a joke.  Hillary would make quick work of Trump, then they could let the good times roll.  Only she didn’t.  And one man who actually did the things he had promised set the Establishment on fire, and caused it to show its ugly hand.  If Trump would have just played ball they might have left him alone, but he didn’t, and they couldn’t permit “an outsider” to beat them at their own game.  The “outsider” moniker is a bit misleading.  Donald Trump wasn’t an outsider, meaning someone not involved in the system.  He was one of the rich guys that the elected crooks, including Hillary, relied upon for finance.  That’s the main reason they hate him.  Think of it this way.  Ben Carson was an outsider, a true innocent, who tried to crack into the system, and you saw what happened to him.  But Trump was part of the system, or so they all assumed.  When it became clear to the Deep State that Trump actually intended to do what he promised to do, he had to be stopped.  And in order to stop Trump, the Deep State was willing to blatantly disregard the law, the Constitution, and any semblance of honesty or integrity.  Think about it.  The Democrats are willing to destroy the law, and the Constitution in order to stop Trump.  The CIA and the FBI spied on Trump before the election, and undermined him after he was elected.  The State Department released private phone calls Trump had with world leaders to embarrass him.  The military defied his orders.  The public relations staff of the Deep State, also known as the media, discarded any notion of impartial  journalism in order to hound Trump day and night.  More than 95% of media coverage of Trump was negative.  Democrats impeached Trump twice, over nothing, to try to stop him.  He faced a phony special counsel investigation for nearly two years over fake Russian collusion allegations that we now know (anyone who reads these pages knew it five years ago) were lies bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton.  And his own Party was even worse.  Republican leaders fought Trump every step of the way.  They blocked his proposals and fought his policies.  Yet despite being opposed by both Parties and the media, Trump lowered taxes, grew jobs, fixed the military, closed the border, pacified North Korea, Iran and China, fixed trade agreements, and had the economy soaring.  It took the Wuhan plague and two impeachments to slow him down, and they finally beat him in 2020.  But now, with the prospect of a Trump return, the Deep State is again in a panic.  Democrats have enlisted a new special counsel to try to indict and jail him.  Republicans are willing to lose the next presidential election if they can stop Trump.  Democrats are even willing to throw away their best hope of winning in 2024.  Everything Democrats have done for seven years has been designed to damage Donald Trump.  Because of seven years of bad press, mostly consisting of lies, the Trump name has been damaged beyond repair.  It’s not fair, but it’s done.  They have convinced half the electorate never to vote for Trump.  The only hope Democrats have in 2024 is to run against a crippled Donald Trump.  Yet they still consider him such a threat that they still want to destroy him so he can’t run again.  Such is the fear that their entire corrupt money-making machine may be disrupted by perhaps the one honest man who ever has been our president in recent times.  Even the Murdoch Fox, NY Post, Wall Street Journal machine is against him now.  This week, a Journal columnist actually wrote an article comparing Trump to FTX crypto-currency crook Sam Bankman.  Trump is a patriot who increased the wealth of the nation and every person in it.  Bankman is a thief who bankrupted his company, absconded with billions in clients’ funds, and is hiding out in the Bahamas.  The fact that the Justice Department has appointed a Special Counsel to go after Trump, while Bankman basks in the sun, is all you have to know about the system.  Personally, I think too much damage has been done, and that Trump’s time has passed.  I’m afraid we can’t afford a candidate in 2024 who starts with both hands tied behind his back.  It’s not fair, but it happens to be the reality.

A post mortem is something that’s dome after a death, so the title seemed appropriate. Well, my pared back expectations from last week were pared back some more by the interminable vote counting systems out West.  The electoral system roller coaster reached the top of the hill and hurtled down again, and what liked like a tolerable outcome went South, or was that West?  The Nevada Senate win became a loss, as they just kept finding more ballots in Clarke County.  Never saw that one before, right?  Then, in Arizona, they had to stop counting, shut off the video cameras, and wait for new ballots to be printed.  I guess Amazon finally delivered the printer toner that kept thousands of Arizonans from voting on election day.  But, nothing to see there.  Don’t want to be called an election denier.  As this is written, Republicans have reached 218 seats in the House, and will control that chamber.  I expected about 230 seats last week.  The final number now looks more like 222.  Somehow, there are California House districts where they still have been able to count only 60% of the votes.  How could this fiasco happen again after 2020?  H.L. Mencken once said, “The people get the government they deserve, and they deserve to get it good and hard.”  Well, we got it.  And we got it because, apparently, elected officials are content to let business as usual continue to be business as usual.  And if any of you had doubts whether the Deep State actually exists, this mess finally has put all doubts to rest.  We managed to believe all the Red Wave bullshit, and you can’t blame us, because we don’t know any better.  The alleged professionals in our Party, however, either did know better, or are so criminally inept that they just stood there and watched it happen.  It’s a given that Democrats clean up on early and mail ballots.  I say ballots instead of votes because it appears that Republicans only count votes, while Democrats count ballots.  So we knew from experience that a complete imbecilic non-entity like John Fetterman would wake up on election day already some 750,000 votes ahead of his opponent.  What did we do about this known fact?  Nothing.  And don’t give me the “Republicans are just an election day get out the vote Party” bullshit.  Clearly, that doesn’t work, so how many times do you need to get screwed before you try something else?  I am first among those who don’t like or want no-reason mail ballots or early voting, but it’s here, courtesy of the Chinese Communist Party’s Wuhan virus, and we either adapt or we go the way of all the other dinosaurs.  And speaking of dinosaurs, what’s the fallout in the Republican Party after it got caught with its pants down again?  Mitch McConnell was reelected Senate Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy will be the new Speaker, and Ronna McDaniel (daughter of Mitt Romney –  is it any wonder we’re in the shape we’re in?) apparently will continue as the Chair of the Party.  This trio, sometimes known as “the Mc Leaders,” is as ineffective a bunch of alleged leaders as I’ve ever seen.  Of the three, McConnell is the worst.  Mitch McConnell had a large fund of campaign money to be doled out, supposedly where it would do the most good for Republicans.  But that’s a joke.  Mitch doles it out only to the candidates he knows will continue him in power.  And what power?  The Minority Leader.  McConnell had a great chance to become Majority Leader this year, but instead, we will continue with the Detestable Chuck Schumer in that role.  And Mitch is just fine with that.  Mitch badmouthed the Senate candidates in August, not because they weren’t good candidates, but because some of them would not vote for him as Leader.  Mitch could have pumped money into the Arizona race to help Blake Masters, and could have sent more money to Adam Laxalt in Nevada, but he didn’t.  Instead, Mitch sent money to Lisa Murkowski in Alaska.  Murkowski, for the second time in six years, failed to win her own primary, but Mitch wouldn’t support the Republican who did win, in a State where, no matter what, one of the Republicans was going to be elected.  Mitch withheld money from General Bolduc in New Hampshire, then teased him with some, and finally cut him off in the final weeks.  Now, Mitch and the other Mc Leaders are busy trying to stamp out all traces of Republican populism (a/k/a Trumpism – more about that next week).  The reason is simple to understand.  The Party is not designed to give the people what they want, it’s designed to foster the status quo, so that deserving political hacks, who never held, and don’t want a real job can line their pockets.  Sure, they’ll make all the right sounds before election day, but the reality is, it really doesn’t matter how the elections come out.  You’re going to get the the government that the elites say you deserve, and you’re going to get it good and hard.  You may think the disaster at the border, fuel costs, inflation, and national security are important, but they don’t.  They’ve shown us what they think is important.  This week Republicans in the Senate joined Democrats to pass a bill protecting same-sex marriage, as unneeded and irrelevant a piece of legislation as there possibly can be.  Like it or not, The Supreme Court ruled it a right six years ago, so what are they protecting?  If this is all we’re going to get from these Mc Screwups, then it’s time for them to go.  Abraham Lincoln once said, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.”  These Mc bastards somehow manage to screw us all of the time.  They don’t oppose bad candidates, they oppose populists who will throw them out.  We better wake up.

Okay, the election wasn’t all we had hoped for.  I’ll admit I got caught up in the Red Wave hysteria, and perhaps our expectations were a bit too lofty for this day and age.  Instead of the Red Wave, we got more of a Purple Haze.  Tuesday night into Wednesday, I was a bit depressed, but now I’m beginning to put things into perspective.  You will recall that the predictions for House pickups by Republicans ranged from 20 to 50, and it looks like the result will be closer to 20.  I have to say “it looks like” because a number of States have turned Election Day into Election Season, where the voting starts in October, and the vote counting goes on nearly to December.  Maybe we should rename Autumn to correspond to election season.  Instead of Autumn, how about Chaos?  Corruption might be a better name.  More about that later.  In any case, although 20 seats is not what we wanted or expected, let’s look at the big picture.  Going into the election, Republicans held 212 seats.  As this is written, 14 seats have been added.  Of the remaining seats, 15 are considered likely or leaning Republican and 10 more are considered toss ups.  This puts the eventual total somewhere in the range of 230 Republican seats, or a 25 seat majority.  We all wanted more, but consider two things.  First, when the Republicans took control of the House for the first time in 40 years in 1995, they held 232 seats, which was considered a major triumph.  Secondly, remember that our goal was to take the gavel out of Nancy Pelosi’s hands, and it looks like that’s been accomplished.  The Senate elections are something else again.  When I saw the predictions about New Hampshire possibly going Republican, my heart overruled my head, and I bought into them.  In almost every election, they tell us “New Hampshire is in play,” and invariably the Democrat wins, so that one didn’t bother me.  Pennsylvania, however, is a different story.  Pennsylvanians had to choose between a thoughtful, moderate heart surgeon and a man who has never held a real job, and whose only known accomplishments were that he once stuck a shotgun in the face of an innocent black man, and he later released murderers from prison.  How anyone could knowingly choose a brain damaged, skin-headed, dirty hoodie wearing gargoyle, with a nasty lump on his neck that looks like it’s going into business for itself, over Dr. Oz, is beyond me.  I think we must chalk Fetterman’s win up to two factors.  The first is the new Democrat recipe for electoral success.  Keep your candidate in the basement.  Don’t agree to any debates, or if you must debate, do it after half your base has already voted.  And rely on media corruption to hide your candidate’s flaws, and to amplify your campaign’s lies about your opponent.  Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden proved that the recipe works.  The second factor involves the Democrats’ transition from Election Day to Election Season.  Herein lies yet another example of Democrat hypocrisy.  The Constitution provides, in no uncertain terms, that the State legislatures shall prescribe “the times, places, and manner” of House elections.  It is this provision that empowers the Blue States to permit weeks of early voting, and the counting of mail ballots without proper signatures or dates, and to count ballots mailed days or weeks after election day.  Democrats like this aspect of federalism.  “Our State legislature approved it, so butt out.”  On the other hand, Democrats are simultaneously opposing the use of the same Constitutional provision for the principle that the State legislatures, and not the courts, are the sole arbiters of how Congressional districts are to be redrawn after each census.  That case will be heard by the Supreme Court in this term.  As this is written, control of the Senate is still in doubt, and in all likelihood will remain in doubt until a runoff election in Georgia on December 6 tells us if Herschel Walker or Rafael Warnock will win that seat.  Right now, Pennsylvania went Democrat, and it looks like Adam Laxalt will flip Nevada Republican.  That puts us at 49-49, with Arizona and Georgia still outstanding.  There were massive voting problems in Arizona, where many ballots in Maricopa County could not be read by the tabulating machines, and some voters were told they could not cast a new ballot because “they already voted” the ballots that could not be read.  Right now, Arizona, two days after election day, has counted 76% of the vote.  Republican Gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is about 13,000 votes behind Katie Hobbs, the Arizona official in charge of her own election.  If the votes actually get counted, Lake is confident she will win.  Senatorial candidate Blake Masters is further behind, and looks like a long shot.  If Democrats hold onto the Arizona Senate seat, and Laxalt wins in Nevada, then we will stand at 50 Republican and 49 Democrat, and all eyes turn to Georgia on December 6.  But wait, Clark County Nevada (that’s Las Vegas) just found 57,000 more ballots, yet to be counted.  Adam Laxalt says that, even if they go 63% for his opponent, he still will win.  Previously counted ballots in Clark County give the Democrat just over 51% of the votes in that county, but stay tuned.  This is one Hell of a way to conduct an election, and don’t even get me started on California, where the counting continues for weeks.  If the Blue States actually were interested in conducting fully transparent and fair elections, they could easily do so.  Take the example of Florida.  The weeks of chad counting and lawsuits in 2000, and the massive screwups in Palm Beach and Broward Counties four years ago have been fixed.  Florida counted 7.7 million ballots, including early votes and mailed votes, in five hours Tuesday night.  No losing candidate has complained that the system was unfair, and I’ve heard of no reports that voters claim they were denied the right to vote.  So it can be done.  The only reason it’s not done is that the Blue States don’t want to fix it.  They subscribe to Joseph Stalin’s electoral philosophy.  “Those who vote decide nothing.  Those who count the vote decide everything.”  Surely, we deserve better.

Next Tuesday is election day.  For months we’ve been hearing about a coming Red Wave, a Democrat resurgence after the Supreme Court’s abortion decision, then a Republican rebound.  Republicans need to gain 5 seats to control the House, and the Senate, now tied 50-50 requires but one net pickup to put control in Republican hands.  Predictions are literally all over the map.  They range from the ridiculous to the sublime.  For the ridiculous, this from Nancy Pelosi, “I cannot believe anybody would vote for these people[Republicans].” Pelosi claimed the GOP campaign was driven by “endless lying and endless money.”  This is a typical Democrat attempt to hide the truth.  Democrats are lying about the economy, inflation, energy production, and even the number of States.  Last week, Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden said there were 54 States, and Democrats are outspending Republicans in Senate campaigns at least 2 to 1.  But then again, with her power hanging by a thread, what do you expect from a pig but a grunt?  On the sublime front, Newt Gingrich predicts Republican pickups of 20 to 50 seats in the House, and a Republican Senate, where he predicts that Herschel Walker will win by 5-6%.  Even Democrats perceive a problem in Georgia.  The detestable Chuck Schumer recently was overheard telling Biden, “We are going downhill in Georgia.”  About 70% of voters consider the most important issues to be the economy, crime, and border security,  the same issues on which voters most trust Republicans.  In addition, voters are scared, with between 60% and 80% of those polled believing that we are already in a recession.  Those results don’t bode well for Democrats.  But typically, Democrats are in denial, and actually are suggesting that the problem isn’t that they’ve royally screwed the country up, but that the voters simply don’t understand that the real issues are abortion and saving our democracy from Donald Trump.  Seriously?   MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner (any relation to Claude?) says that if Republicans win in November, they will “figure out a way” to jail the entire January 6 Committee.  Now that I think of it, that’s not a bad idea.  MSNBC’s Chris Hayes says Democrats must fight to lower gas prices (that Biden raised) in order to save our democracy from “existential peril.”  Not because people can’t afford, gasoline, heat or food, but because the high prices encourage people to vote Republican.  Hayes said, “Oil companies, OPEC, and the Saudis,” aren’t eager to lower prices before an election where Democratic candidates are vulnerable.  “That’s why Saudi Arabia might want to suddenly announce a cut in oil production right before the midterms.”  You got it backwards Jackass.  If Republicans were in charge, and we produced our own energy, global oil prices would fall, which is the last thing Saudi Arabia and Russia want to see happen.  MSNBC’s Ryan Cooper says, the election results will determine whether there are any more real elections.  Apparently an election is “real” only when non-citizens vote,  unsigned ballots are counted weeks after election day, blatant fraud is ignored, and Democrats win.  Cooper complained that the real issues aren’t being reported, such as a global financial apocalypse (I guess he means the one Joe Biden and the Democrats created), and enormous cuts to Medicare and Social Security, cuts that no Republican proposes to make.  Cooper continued, “If Republicans win they will certainly attempt to end democracy as we know it.”  They only know it when they win.  They’re still harping on voter suppression, even though more people have voted than ever before.  Biden Spokes-liar Karin Jean-Pierre fielded that one explaining, “Just because voter turnout has increased, doesn’t mean there’s not suppression.”  Huh?  Cooper concluded, “I would not rule out actual attempted election theft.” Of course he wouldn’t rule it out, Cooper figures if Democrats can do it, why not Republicans?  As election day approaches Democrats have been required to pour money into races that were once considered safe Democrat seats.  In upstate New York, Democrat Sean Maloney (rhymes with baloney), who is part of the House leadership, finds himself vulnerable to his Republican opponent.  House seats that were considered safe, in Blue States like Rhode Island, Oregon, and Washington are now in play.  The seats in New York’s Hudson Valley are now tossups.  In a number of States, female Hispanic Republicans are running strong in areas now served by Democrats.  In the Senate race, Herschel Walker has pulled ahead of Warnock.  In Pennsylvania, Dr. Oz has pulled even with Fetterman, and in some polls is ahead.  With Halloween now over, I can’t understand why any sane voter would vote for Fetterman, a Frankenstein look-alike who lacks the monster’s verbal abilities.  And it’s not about his stroke.  In fact, the stroke might be helping him.  If Fetterman was able to articulate his opinions, his radical policies would prove him unqualified for the job.  In Arizona, Democrat Mark Kelly is running neck and neck with Blake Masters, and Republican Kari Lake is running well ahead of her Democrat opponent.  New Hampshire Democrat Maggie Hassan, who won six years ago by about 1,000 votes out of more than 700,000, is vulnerable this year.  In Nevada, Republican Adam Laxalt is running ahead of his incumbent opponent.  Even Patty Murray in Washington is in a competitive race.  Regardless of who you choose to believe, things look bleak for Democrats.  Rasmussen polling shows Republicans with a 7% lead in the generic ballot, which portends big gains for Republicans.  Republicans have a 16 point lead with independents.  Additionally, 27 percent of black voters and 45 percent of other minority groups said they would vote for the Republican candidate if the election were held today.  If this is correct, Democrats are cooked.  Lee Zeldin has a real chance to defeat Kathy Hochel in New York.  Even Woke wingnuts in Oregon have grown tired of rising crime and homeless camps on their streets, and a Republican may be elected Governor for the first time in 40 years.  Democrats find themselves on the wrong side of every issue.  Despite this, or maybe because of it, Democrats have decided to ignore the issues important to voters, and to rely on fear and threats.  They woke Biden up Wednesday night so he could insult half the country again by warning that, if Republicans win, our democracy is doomed.  His henchman Ron Klain then announced “this is your last warning.”  Our last warning or else what, Ron?  As I mentioned, the predictions are all over the map, so I’ll add my own.  I predict that Republicans will gain 42 seats in the House and a net +3 in the Senate, giving them a 53-47 majority.  Tuesday November 8th is almost here.  Election Day is my favorite holiday.  This one should be enjoyable.  Get your popcorn ready.

In 1866, Fyodor Dostoevsky published his masterpiece, Crime and Punishment.  The book essentially was a morality play.  The notion that punishment would follow the commission of a crime was not a new concept.  It was founded upon Judeo-Christian religious values.  After one has sinned, one must atone.  Those values were engrafted into our laws, and respect for the law was the underpinning of society.  Thomas Hobbes understood this in the 15th Century when, in Leviathan, he observed that men create governments and enact laws in order to preserve the fabric of society.  Without them, there exists no society, but instead a State of Nature, chaos, a war of every man against every man.  For hundreds of years, this was an accepted concept.  “The law’s the law.”  “Do the crime and you do the time.”  In the early 1930’s, the U.S. imposed production standards for motion pictures.  They could depict crime and criminals, but at the end, the law must triumph, and the guilty must be punished.  Jimmy Cagney, Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart all had good runs, but ultimately were done in by their comrades, or the government.  And when they weren’t killed, off they went to prison, to “pay their debt to society.”  That’s the way it was, and our leaders understood that that’s the way it had to be if society was to survive and prosper.  Thomas Hobbes said it best when he explained why Man must avoid the State of Nature.  “In such condition there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain, and consequently no culture of the earth, no navigation nor the use of commodities that may be imported by sea, no commodious building, no instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force, no knowledge of the face of the earth, no account of time, no arts, no letters, no society, and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death, and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.”  That’s not a pretty picture, but I fear it’s the world which we may be ushering in should we continue on the course we have been on these last few years.  We’ve lost our way.  We’ve abandoned any concept of morality, and thus the notion that some actions are acceptable, while others are unacceptable.  In arts, culture, communications and personal behavior, anything goes, up to and including criminal behavior.  It’s a conundrum.  The same Woke imbeciles who seek to steal your personal freedoms to speak your mind, and control your own affairs, seem willing to grant license to law-breaking rabble to do as they please.  As with all the paving stones on the road to Hell, these imbeciles believe they are well-intentioned.   They were fixing a non-existent problem, systemic racism.  I’ve explained this before, but in a nutshell, I live in a County where the Prosecutor, judges, police chiefs, jurors,  cops, and witnesses are predominantly “people of color.”  So, if criminal defendants are being railroaded by systemic racism, somebody has to explain to me how white supremecists got all these minority players go along with the plan.  Obviously, there is no plan, and no systemic racism.  If a particular criminal defendant was prejudiced by bias or some legal error, we have a court system which is ready and able to right that wrong.  That’s the work I do every day.  But that said, the Woke fantasyland view of the justice system encouraged us to defund the police, handcuff the police, cast the police as the criminals, no cash bail, and Woke prosecutors who refuse to enforce the laws on the books.  These misguided policies have led to the mess we now have.  Police officers reduced to observers of crime, reluctant to do their jobs for fear of losing their jobs, their property and their freedom.  City streets which have been abandoned to the mob.  Let’s focus on New York City.  The city that used to be The Big Apple, The City That Never Sleeps, and The Crossroads of the World is practically unrecognizable.  Subway ridership is down by almost half, while subway crime is up 60%.  If you don’t get robbed, killed, or mugged by a gang of women wearing skin-tight green jumpsuits, the extra added attraction is hoards of mentally deranged homeless people, who are liable to throw you under a train.  If you make it to your stop and ascend to street level, things do not improve.  The no bail system permits the same people to commit crimes all day, every day, and if arrested, be released right back onto the street to do it again.  There are stories of criminals with 40, 50, even more than 100 arrests continually exiting the revolving door.  And when these people get to trial, if they ever do, prosecutors are willing to downgrade serious, and violent crimes to minor offenses which keep the predators on the street.  Workers don’t want to return to the office.  Residents are reluctant to venture out.  More than 330,000 productive citizens have left New York City since 2020.  These are the people who did the work and paid the taxes.  How many restaurants and other businesses have closed as a result?  How many stores simply closed the doors because looters were permitted to steal, just a little at a time, until there was no business left?  And when the police won’t or can’t protect the poor unfortunates who remain, nothing is left but vigilante justice, which is no justice at all.  We’re not there yet, but we’re fast approaching Hobbes’ State of Nature.  Everything he predicted in 1651 appears before us.  No industry, no culture, no arts, letters or society.  Nothing left but the predators and their prey.  It’s all because Wokeism has set out to remake the world by collapsing our society.  When you convince people that they owe no debt to society, even if they commit crime, but that society owes them a living, no good can come of it.  There are signs that people have had enough Woke nonsense, and are ready to return to a world where actions have consequences.  On November 8, vote like your life depends on it, because it just might.  Don’t vote Democrat or Republican, vote for sanity.
