Note on 2/16/2024: Here’s one I got wrong. Even with ballot dumpster stuffing and extending elections, mass mail-in and all the other cheating the Dems have down to a science, I really thought even this GOP would not snatch defeat from the jaws of victory this time. They did. Amazing!
To their credit, in a nation where no pregnant female is more than three hours drive form an abortion on demand, the Left managed to make the 2022 election about abortion. Again, amazing. But it doesn’t speak well of the rubes that fell for it, and allowed the Biden lunacy to continue unabated.
Listen to the press whinging on and on about Paulie P. Almost every month since this administration took office, and then weekly more recently, the American media have consistently struck new lows in politics and journalism.
The mainstream media is clearly the obedient lapdog of the political Left. Nothing new there. But the complete lack of journalistic curiosity mixed with vindictiveness gets more strident as the Democrat Party staggers toward defeat in November. The liberal talking heads will say ANYTHING in an attempt to salvage a few candidates from the flames.
Now, I will preface with a statement. It will be true and sincere. But it will be treated as if I never said it. I do hope Paul Pelosi was not permanently injured by his assailant. I hope he has a full recovery and his assailant rots in prison. Even people who oppose his wife politically say he is a very nice man. So it is easy to assume he is.
That said...
In an ugly and obvious attempt to exploit this attack on a nice man, the Left and their lapdogs have come out fuming and snarling about complete nonsense. The most nonsensical would be connecting this to January 6th. PLEASE!
So the nudist, drug addled, nut bag who lives on a dilapidated bus, with BLM and rainbow flags, and talks to angels and thought he was Jesus Christ for a year is the long-awaited, racist right wing explosion the Democrats have been warning us about as the upshot of January 6th? Really? Does the press think we are really that stupid? They must think so, because they keep connecting a Mini-riot in DC with this guy in San Francisco. Pathetic.
And they've personalized it as well. I will single out Eric Swalwell, Phang Phang's pathetic boyfriend, for specific treatment here, because he is the one who has lied most egregiously about the whole affair.

Over the weekend, this ass hat blasted the GOP, specifically the leadership, for not condemning the attack. This was a lie. It is a documented lie. He deserves nothing but scorn from both sides and should have been called out by the MSM for the lie and the insult.
But oh, the media can't. Lapdogs, remember? They pumped up the statement, gave it huge play.
Here are the facts: Mitch McConnell, upon learning of the incident immediately issued a statement condemning the attack and said what everyone else said, that he is hoping Paulie P recovers quickly. Prayers for the family and all that. So did a lot of other leading Republicans.
So once again, Swalwell demonstrated what a shallow dunce he clearly is and the media promoted his idiocy. McConnell's statements, along with half the GOP, were already on record.
He's not alone.
The media has accused anyone who ever criticized our shrill and self-serving Speaker of the House as causing, or being happy that, this attack occurred. This isn't true, of course. There isn't a national or local media outlet of either stripe who hasn't come out and condemned the assault and wished Paulie well. No matter, when you are a profession that behaves like a classroom full of 12 year olds, you say what makes you feel good. You also say anything to hurt those who aren't in your clique. That's how 12 year olds behave.
Besides, there is an election to be won. Fuck the truth. Just make up something about how this is part of 1/6!
Then there is the hypocrisy.
I'll just provide one example. A few years ago Rand Paul was assaulted in his own yard by a neighbor. While the Senator was working on his yard, this scumbag went at him at a full gallop and ran him to the ground. Paul suffered six fractured ribs, three completely severed internally. He would go on to get fluid in his lungs and recovery was very slow. He also lost a piece of his lung.
Now as anyone who has suffered broken, or even severely bruised ribs can tell you, this is a painful experience. For weeks or months, just getting out of bed is a unique experience. Rand Paul spit up blood for a year.
Now, what did the Left say about it? Well, MSNBC commentators laughed about it on the air, on the record. One news babe called it her favorite story. A columnist said she wished the neighbor would go back and do it again. Exactly - 12 year olds.
But, the humdinger came from a relative of a politician who tweeted that Rand Paul's attacker was right to do what he did. This was Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Christine. And why shouldn't she think this way. Her mother is the embodiment of the middle school mean girl. Always has been.
So when the entire Right comes out in one voice and condemns the attack on Pelosi, the Left and their lapdogs condemn them for not doing so. When an assault victim points out the retarded hypocrisy of the Left for their offensive, on the record remarks, HE now is getting blasted by the lapdogs!
When the intentional stupidity of the Left reaches each new low, language become more and more inadequate to address it. One gropes for a term that might be critical enough of such behavior. I can't find the characterization, Perhaps a better writer might.
I want to think the Left has hit a moral rock-bottom with this episode. But I am sure they'll keep digging.
But no matter. They are losing an election. They put an idiot in play in Pennsylvania and Stacy Abrams is calling a record turnout in Georgia voter suppression. So they must keep exploiting the Paulie P thing.
Okay, Lefties, all together now: "IT'S JANUARY 6TH! IT'S JANUARY 6TH! WHITE SUPREMACY! RUSSIA, RUSSIA RUSSIA!" Good. That's a wrap. Keep repeating that stuff.
The P4B Book List
A strong P4B recommendation: The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel: Genius Power and Deception on the Eve of WWI by Douglas Brunt A real-life murder mystery.
An easy, fun read with lots of follow-ons: After Dunkirk by Lee Jackson. Part 1 of a WWII historical fiction series.
A studious and interesting study. Excellent reading. Jefferson's Godfather, the Man Behind the Man: George Wythe, Mentor to the Founding Fathers by Suzanne Munson. See Suzanne’s appearance on the P4B here.
New on the List
The Winds of War by Herman Wouk This the first in a two part epic. Like After Dunkirk, it is a WWII historical fiction. But it is a much deeper dive. Very well written. You will get lost in it. I will do a complete review here later. But I’ll cut to the chase…*****
