Election Integrity Hysteria Betrays Weakness

Election Integrity Hysteria Betrays Weakness 0 replies Posted by Moritz55 — Post Reply The Democrats' hysteric reaction to the Supreme Court's decision staying premature litigation against a presidential order that might eventually regulate mail-in ballots is unsurprising. From Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's over-wrought dissent alleging the result will be 'chaos' and Time magazine's twaddle that the high court is 'rigging' the elections, to blather about Trump subverting the Constitution, the reactions are unmoored from reality. Why the AfD Wins 0 replies Posted by Moritz55 — Post Reply Three weeks before the German state of Sachsen-Anhalt went to the polls to elect a new legislature on September 6, Germany's leading news magazine, Der Spiegel, ran a cover story with a mug shot of Ulrich Siegmund, lead candidate of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, under the legend 'Germany's Most Dangerous Man.' What made him so dangerous was not evident at first glance. Siegmund is young, untested, a bit of a glad-hander, and in some respects odd. He studied aromachology and marketing at university and takes a particular interest in the influence of smells on consumer behavior. He likes to ride around on old East German motorbikes. Trump should draw a clear midterm line between his record and the blue wave of weirdo Dems 0 replies Posted by Moritz55 — Post Reply When we return to work after the Labor Day weekend, the hope is that America will start paying attention to the stark choice offered at the midterm elections in November. There are just two months left until voters decide whether the Trump administration can continue the free enterprise agenda that is sparking an economic boom and keep reversing the woke cultural insanity that ruined so many lives — or whether the big-government socialists who call themselves Democrats will cripple all that progress and mire the country in another round of debilitating impeachment politics. What would an AfD government in Saxony-Anhalt really mean? 5 replies Posted by Moritz55 — Post Reply The Alternative for Germany (AfD) could bring in massive changes should it form a government in Saxony-Anhalt. The far-right party, has taken a massive lead in the Saxony-Anhalt election, although it was not clear if it will be able to form government and have its lead candidate, Ulrich Siegmund, serve as state premier. The Saxony-Anhalt chapter of the AfD is classified by the domestic intelligence agency as "confirmed far-right." Radical tightening of asylum laws In its draft government program, the AfD has promised "deportation from minute one!" if it wins the election in Saxony-Anhalt. The stated goal, according to the party's election program Today's leftists are possessed by the spirit of France's 18th-century guillotine-loving revolutionaries 4 replies Posted by Moritz55 — Post Reply Trump and MAGA did not operate in a vacuum in the decade between 2015 and his re-election in 2024. His formal opposition was no longer the liberal Democrats of old but rather a new, far more radical manifestation. In their mission to fundamentally change the nation, they were more suited to 18th-century revolutionary France than 21st-century America. The nature of the two-party system, of course, is to find ways to counter and even discredit the opposite party. Yet since the end of the Civil War, these disagreements had played out within accepted boundaries. But the decade of Trump, from 2015 to 2025, unleashed a hysteria unseen in over 160 years, What Happens to MAGA When Trump Is Gone? 19 replies Posted by Moritz55 — Post Reply As the 78-year-old Donald Trump entered his second and last term as president on January 20, 2025, almost immediately his friends and enemies alike began asking what would happen to his signature Make America Great Again movement on January 20, 2029. After all, the returning but lame-duck Trump had just four years left as president. He would be 82 years old when he was scheduled to depart the White House. Which led to a natural question: Will Trumpism outlast Trump? Will the movement that one man created 13 years ago—a movement that has fundamentally transformed the world in the years since—continue without its founder at the helm? Trump Names Acting Army Secretary as Search Continues 1 reply Posted by Moritz55 — Post Reply Adam Telle will take over as acting secretary of the Army after President Donald Trump announced Thursday that Telle will temporarily replace the recently departed Dan Driscoll. Telle was already serving as assistant secretary of the Army for Civil Works, a Senate-confirmed position overseeing the Army Corps of Engineers' civil works program. During Trump's first term, he led the White House legislative affairs team responsible for the Senate, and he later served as chief of staff to Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn. Trump called him a 'Great Patriot' in the post announcing the move. Labor Day Jobs Report Shows Trumpnomics Is Working 1 reply Posted by Moritz55 — Post Reply The August jobs report delivered a message the Wall Street commentariat keeps missing: Trumpnomics is working, and nowhere is that clearer than in manufacturing. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 162,000 in August, nearly triple market expectations. June and July were revised up by another 55,000 jobs. Private payrolls rose by 127,000. The unemployment rate held at a low 4.1 percent. The labor-force participation rate rose to 61.6 percent. That is not a recession report. It is not a stagflation report. It is not a report that justifies another Federal Reserve rate hike. It is a report showing a resilient economy, a rising labor force, steady wage gains, and Here comes Mamdani's socialist revolution — brought to you by 'influencers' at YOUR expense 13 replies Posted by Moritz55 — Post Reply Mayor Zohran Mamdani's socialist revolution is on the march — with an army of nearly 200 social-media 'influencers' promoting their Dear Leader's message. And much of it, apparently, on the taxpayer's dime. New Yorkers should be downright alarmed. Per a Columbia Journalism Review report, it seems Hizzoner has launched a permanent, taxpayer-funded PR blitz disguised as legitimate city business and fused with City Hall-directed, North Korean-style propaganda boosting our socialist savior and pushing his team's talking points. It's a clear abuse of power and city resources — and certainly not what most New Yorkers voted for. Italy weighs the results as Giorgia Meloni's government sets a longevity record 5 replies Posted by Moritz55 — Post Reply In a country where governments are famously short-lived, the perceived success of Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni has often been attributed to her survival skills rather than her accomplishments. On Thursday, after 1,413 days — nearly four years — Meloni's conservative administration became Italy's longest-serving uninterrupted government since World War II, surpassing the record set by the late Silvio Berlusconi between 2001 and 2005. None of Italy's 68 governments in the country's 80 years as a republic has yet to complete a five-year term without interruption. Talarico brings a touch of Trotsky to the Texas Senate race 13 replies Posted by Moritz55 — Post Reply Senate Democratic nominee James Talarico appears ready to bring a touch of Trotsky to Texas. In a video from a climate forum, Talarico is shown declaring capitalism an "oppressive system" linked with White supremacy and saying that it must be "dismantled" to achieve a better world. It is reminiscent of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky, who denounced the "fundamental evil of the capitalist system" and called on citizens to free themselves from its oppression. The Democratic Socialists of America and radical sites have long called "to dismantle the capitalist state."
