Assuming Kamala Harris is sworn in as the next Vice President, California Governor Gavin Newsom is going to have to appoint a new Senator to replace her. The news from today is that black and latino leaders are pushing him to select either another black senator the state’s first latino senator. Like Joe Biden before him, who committed only to selecting a black woman as his running mate, Gavin Newsom will probably follow suit and select a replacement based on something as irrelevant as some physical characteristic. The reason we’re not supposed to judge people based on things like…
Biden’s deal
Heading into the election, many people were saying that Joe Biden made a deal with Bernie Sanders that allowed him to win the nomination in exchange for adopting Sanders’ platform. This would explain Biden’s embrace of things like the “Green New Deal,” and support from Sanders acolytes like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and “The Squad.” I think we’re now discovering that the deal wasn’t with Sanders. It was the entirety of Washington D.C. Beating President Trump was the most important thing to D.C. denizens, and they’ve been singularly focused on it for four years. What people didn’t notice is to what…
The secret to career progression
I’ve worked for, or consulted with, many companies and have been blessed to meet many people along the way. One thing I’ve noticed about people younger in their career that I didn’t notice when I was there is the need to know and understand one’s entire career progression. “Kids these days,” as they say, seem very intent on seeing roadmaps and paths so they can follow them like a set of Lego directions. To many of them, their career is more like a checklist where things are accomplished to check a box and show the boss that it’s time…
Visions of 1934 Germany
No, I’m not going overboard. For one, Joe Biden is no Adolf Hitler. He doesn’t have the confidence, the plan, the acuity, the motivation, or the agenda. But his followers do. It only took a few hours after the networks started indicating Biden was the likely winner before Democrats started feeling themselves and calling for retribution and retaliation against any and all Trump supporters or enablers. This is who they are. It’s not about the possibilities of the future, it’s about the sins of the past. It’s about getting even. It’s about correcting perceived injustice. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wondered aloud…
Time: the critical fraud ingredient
There’s a fair amount of ways to steal an election: mail-in ballots, no voter ID, hacking voting machines, creating and submitting counterfeit ballots en masse, impersonating a dead voter, taking advantage of outdated voter roles, and the list goes on. But in most cases, time is the critical ingredient. The more time there is between the actual vote being cast and the final tabulation of votes, there more time there is to introduce corruption. That’s why, regardless of the outcome of this election investigation(s), we must remove the element of time from voting. Going forward, starting with the Georgia…
Trump, Palin, and Joe McCarthy
As I consider President Trump’s past four years and where we are in this election process, I can’t help but think about Sarah Palin and Joe McCarthy. In four years, Donald Trump has exposed everything the left is all about: the corruption, arrogance, deceit, lust for power, desire for control, move toward socialism, contempt for average Americans, disgust for liberty, lack of morality, and desire to destroy the meaningful institutions that define America. The left has been been referring to it as “divisive,” but what Trump’s rhetoric and actions have really been is “defining.” He has more clearly defined…
Working in mysterious ways
I’ve been predicting a Trump blow out landslide for months. To anyone who would listen. To me, it was an absolute certainty. On what grounds? God’s will. Justice. The rise of black, latino, and women voters. The work of the Trump team’s ground game. The rallies. The record of success. The lack of Biden enthusiasm. The lack of Biden’s ability to complete a sentence… As the night went on, it was looking like the landslide was on. Not as big as I predicted, I admit. But it seemed fairly decisive. When most of us turned in, I think the…
Today’s choice: feelings vs results
Today’s the day. Election day. Today, we decide whether we’re going to be guided by our feelings or guided by results. Democrats will be the first to tell you (because they’ll push and stampede to the front of the line) that they don’t like Donald Trump, and it’s very personal. But right behind them will be many conservatives and Republicans who aren’t necessarily huge fans of him, personally, either. The difference is that, as the old axiom goes, liberals feel and conservatives think. Conservatives are going to vote for more of the results we’ve witnessed the last four years….
Systemic ideologism
One of the founding principles of The Bubbler is that we try to be a place where you can find points of view others are afraid to say (or simply hadn’t thought of before). Today’s entry fits that description. No one in America suffers more discrimination than conservatives. White supremacy is a myth. There’s nothing to it. I’ve traveled this earth for more than 50 years, and I can’t remember ever meeting or even witnessing a white supremacist. It’s a completely fabricated and exaggerated label that leftists like to apply to conservatives. The goal of applying this label to…
Big Plywood is behind it all
Over the weekend, I saw plenty of stories referencing all of the cities and urban areas across the country that are boarding up their shop windows in anticipation of unrest over this Tuesday’s election results. Can’t people see what’s really going on? Big Plywood is playing us all. Ask yourself, who stands to gain from all of this business boarding up that’s going on? Of course! Big Plywood. I think it’s time we got to the bottom of the rioting and looting. Many think it’s Antifa or Biden supporters. Nah. I think it’s more sinister than that. I think…
