We take our inspiration from the fatalistic 1956 hit song "Que Sera, Sera" from the film "The Man Who Knew Too Much." I hasten to add we have not given up hope for Mr. Trump's legal actions, which will go to the Supreme Court and there sits a clinker of a judge in the Chief Justice Roberts on whom the Democrats have a string due to his illegal adoption of two Irish children 12 years ago breaking several Irish laws for which the statutes of limitations may have expired, but the potential for a crippling, career ending scandal never will. He should not have been confirmed, much less been appointed Chief Justice and especially when a cursory investigation would have revealed these facts! An FBI fumble or corruption. It is one or the other. However...
To the degree the Biden Presidency appears inevitable what are we to expect? In his first objective Joe Biden intends to erase the Trump Presidency and he will get all the help he needs from the evil factions of the Democrat Party: socialists, union thugs, lobbyists, Russian and Chinese spies plus evil officials with bags of money for Hunter, but first:
Joe Biden wants to send Iran another $150 billion in cash in five other currencies at an 8% premium in what will be our first admission the Dollar is a joke given our $26 trillion debt we can never pay, tear down our embassy in Jerusalem, send thousands of our soldiers to outposts in the Middle East with insufficient ammunition so they won't kill anyone, leave them in defensive postures 24/7, and excuse NATO members of paying their share of the expenses, per treaty. Rejoin the Paris Climate Accord and destroy all our oil drilling and processing putting two million, and more, Americans out of work, send gasoline prices to $10 per gallon, treble electrical power bills and all the prices for everything simultaneously as economics rules for a failing currency and government.
We will rejoin the United Nations World Health Organization not only paying $300 million annual fee, but paying what we did not when Mr. Trump took us out as China had paid off the Chief of WHO to do and say what they wanted while only contributing $40 million to our $300 million!
Make DACA children, and their parents citizens plus all the other illegal Central Americans here as long as they promise to vote Democrat, Give them Medicare and welfare to sweeten the deal and Democrat votes in elections illegal for them to vote in, but they will.
Allow all Muslims to enter, form their own communities as they have in England and Scandanavia plus let them have their own law including stoning to death wives the men don't like any more.
Pass a bill on Black Reparations giving every black adult $1 million for what happened to their great-great-great-great grandparents and exempt them from minor theft and shoplifting crimes as they are only "catching up" and punishing "white privilege.
Pass the "Green New Deal" and have a death penalty for generating CO2 by breathing and "passing gas," aka farting.
We are about to learn what will be.

The democrats do not need DACA votes if they can get away with fraud like they have this election.
ReplyDelete”In a recent Monmouth University survey, 77% of President Donald Trump’s backers said President-elect Joe Biden had won the presidential election because of fraud. Many of these same people believe they don’t need to listen to scientific experts on how to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.” Are you one of these, mr or ms Jones? Why? The answer may be below.
DeleteWe live in a country in epistemological crisis .... this is not just an American problem. All around the world, populist parties are uprising on oceans of misinformation and falsehood. What is going on?
.... Perhaps this ecosystem, as Rauch wrote, operates as a funnel. It allows a wide volume of ideas to get floated, but only a narrow group of ideas survives collective scrutiny.
“We let alt-truth talk,” he said, “but we don’t let it write textbooks, receive tenure, bypass peer review, set the research agenda, dominate the front pages, give expert testimony or dictate the flow of public dollars.”
.... places where fewer people have college degrees have been spiraling down: flatter incomes, decimated families, dissolved communities. In 1972, people without college degrees were nearly as happy as those with college degrees. Now those without a degree are far more unhappy about their lives.
People need a secure order to feel safe. Deprived of that, people legitimately feel cynicism and distrust, alienation and anomie. This precarity has created, in nation after nation, intense populist backlashes against the highly educated folks who have migrated to the cities and accrued significant economic, cultural and political power. Will Wilkinson of the Niskanen Center calls this the “Density Divide.” It is a bitter cultural and political cold war.
Millions now distrust everything the “fake news” people say but also the so-called rules they use to say them.
People demand stories that will both explain their distrust back to them and also enclose them within a safe community of believers.
Conspiracy theories have become the most effective community bonding mechanisms of the 21st century.
For those awash in anxiety and alienation, who feel that everything is spinning out of control, conspiracy theories are extremely effective emotional tools. For those in low status groups, they provide a sense of superiority: I possess important information most people do not have. For those who feel powerless, they provide agency: I have the power to reject “experts” and expose hidden cabals. As Cass Sunstein of Harvard Law School points out, they provide liberation: If I imagine my foes are completely malevolent, then I can use any tactic I want.
.... The internet is an ideal medium for untested information to get around traditional gatekeepers, but it is an accelerant of the paranoia, not its source. Distrust and precarity, caused by economic, cultural and spiritual threat, are the source.
What to do? You can’t argue people out of paranoia. If you try to point out factual errors, you only entrench false belief. The only solution is to reduce the distrust and anxiety that is the seedbed of this thinking. That can be done first by ... reducing the social chasm between the members of the epistemic regime and those who feel so alienated from it. And second, it can be done by policy, by making life more secure for those without a college degree.”

Well done and much truth herein, but as the son of two college professors I would question how many college grads are happy with the great debts they have incurred and how little guidance they received as the counselors are told to fill all the departments and many are now producing grads who have no place to go for a job as their majors are silly. Many of the trades are paying very well, like $200,000 a year for welders who can get complete training in a year for a few thousand Dollars.
DeleteHappily, that day may be coming to an end if you are watching FOX and not CNN, CNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC or PBS.

DeleteIf the Democrats are smart they will never hatch an operation like this as it has left thousands of witnesses many of which are hip enough to have kept something that proves what they are saying. If the Republicans offer a bounty of $1 million for the first evidence that turns the election you will hear a stampede to the designated Special Prosecutor's office.
DeleteWhen the people finally catch on every town will turn into Portland.
