ELECTION POST MORTEM

The talking heads seem to be missing the boat. The results are as clear as crystal, and there are three observations I wish to make.  First, the GOP was abysmal in messaging and did not take advantage of the polling that showed most of the country agreed with their positions even when not knowing how different the party positions were. However, like endless man-in-the-street videos have shown, the unwashed masses often think the OTHER party is who stands for things they like. Have seen endless ones like this including of Gen Z. Second, the President made some really major missteps that defy all political calculations. Third, Democrats play to the fallen nature of man and a lot of people feel more comfortable with that because that is the way they are living. It may be possible to win with two strikes, but with three strikes, you are out.  The sad part is that this election was offered to the GOP on the biggest and brightest silver platter ever, but was lost primarily due to abysmal messaging and assaulting their own base with endless texts, some saying they were not asking for money but who always were.  Nobody likes a liar.

 

I received a deaf ear when I told the endless contacts that they needed to run a national campaign on the issues. Instead, all they did was the old character assassination routine. It was like they hired Democrats to run their campaigns. Many fast-forward through all that nastiness. The GOP never seems to understand that the knowledge of the average voter is inch deep. There is zero knowledge of the issues by the large majority that does not ever watch NewsMax, subscribe to the Epoch Times, so listen to the better talk-radio heads. They look at the networks, CNN, and other free Democrat campaigning parading as news. Really now, do people who watch the endless Desperate Housewives programs, the View, and such know absolutely anything about the issues.  Where was there ANY advertising on the following (and it should have been in blue states as well who had some Repubs running.)

 

WINNING CAMPAIGN ADS NEVER DONE

 

1)      The Iran War was necessary because of Dem Jimmy Carter’s turning the country over to Islamists and other Dems since kicking the can down the road. They are against America AND Israel 100% and CANNOT be negotiated with or reasoned with EVER.

2)      Gas prices are less than in 2022 under Biden WITHOUT any Middle East supply disruptions. Everything has gone up in price, yet Trump brought prices down. Obama wanted to DOUBLE gas prices to reduce demand and push alternative energy.  The New Green Deal 2 could TRIPLE them.

3)      Gas prices are now 42 cents higher in blue states due to insane taxes and anti-energy policies.

They want to sue energy companies and will make us all suffer and scream for $5.00 gas.

4)      Democrats actually support the taking of children from parents if they will not engage

in so-called gender therapy which even Europe is distancing itself from.

5)      Democrats want to take away medical choices with a medicare-for-all single payer system which will wreck the economy and decrease the quality of care with rationing to boot.

6)      Democrats are encouraged to run as moderates but when they win, rule as radicals –

Duck soup to show Mikee Sherill and Abigail Spanberger for starters.

7)      Dems tout diversity, equity, and inclusion, but want to ditch John Fetterman from Pennsylvania because he disagrees with them on a few of their insane positions.

Republicans actually tolerate true diversity and have inclusion in their party. 

8)      Democrats attack all blacks who do not agree with them. It mirrors their start as a segregation forever party.

9)      Democrats support abortion up to birth. While people differ on the issue, that really is infanticide as those children could easily live outside the womb.

10)    Democrats want to penalize the rich and especially wealth creators. They want to nationalize Elon Musk’s Companies. Does anyone really think the government would have come up with reusable rockets by itself or be the slightest competitive? It is pure lust and greed.

11)     Democrats booed God in Philadelphia in 2008 when Obama ran. Joe Biden had the IRS unfairly target religious and conservative groups who were not “yes men” to him.

12)     Democrats have halted every war that we almost won through defunding and giving aid and comfort to the enemy.  Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and they would do the same with Iran which is a foe because of our interference.

13)    Under Obama, David Axelrod worked to get Muslim leadership in Nigeria, and the sheer violence and atrocities have been beyond the pale. He tried the same against Netanyahu I Israel but did not succeed there. Do we want more of this?

14)    The GOP cannot win without winning the Independents. I saw nothing that would appeal to them, as they are issue oriented and all thirteen above were roundly ignored.

15)     Voter turnout in Tennessee, West Virginia Oklahoma, and Indiana was under 40%. These typically red states sat home. Groups like Catholic Vote would not endorse anyone who was not pro-life, forgetting that even with Trump and the GOP controlling both houses, the best they could do was turn it back to states. While that is Democracy, there should have been ads that showed that Dems always try t make it national, ignoring any preferences in different states.

 

TRUMP’S MISCUES

     

1)      After a stellar start in Iran, Trump backed off when at the cusp of victory, saying “the American people did not have the stomach for this.”  We did, but HE didn’t. He trusted our enemies more than our friends. He also went back and forth on what he would do which got old in a real hurry. He waffled like a Democrat.

2)      Trump bragged about his SCOTUS choices. NO ONE wants to feel owned and they spread their wings, even Barrett and became a snare to them. Then he attacked them.

3)      Unwise in the extreme – he needed to talk less and be presidential at ALL TIMES. Trump went from one thing to another like someone with A.D.D. 

4)      Much of Trump’s base is religious, but he had a potty mouth, which was not presidential and turned off many who see that as a sign of poor character.

5)      Trump said he would not prosecute known criminals such as Obama, Hillary, and Biden (the “Big Guy” to the Chinese).  No partiality. If he had the goods, do it.

6)      He supported yes-men candidates with little chance of winning – Paxton and Darlene for real.

7)      In that same vein, he promised proof the 2020 election was stolen. Many of us KNOW it was, and he let them skate.

8)      He announced a stop of aid to Israel on ELECTION DAY! People did not have time to 

          learn how and why he was saying this.

9)      He did not show enough care and respect for his wife in public. People care about that,

          especially since she has been a huge asset to him.

 

THE COUNTRY HOLDS TO DEMOCRAT POOR SOCIAL VALUES

 

1)      Trump’s base believes in the nuclear family and personal responsibility. Most Dems are not in that situation, and live together for many years, avoid kids, watch filthy movies as a habit, try as teachers and librarians to sexualize young children with no pangs of conscience, and curse like sailors.

2)      Trump has a large religious base, but he acts like Howard Stern. Most Americans blaspheme Christ especially, and Dems push blasphemy and porn relentlessly and scream “censorship” at any attempt to keep filth away from the impressionable.

3)      The young love socialism and Trump has not pushed for true Civics education and national standard, leaving that to Dennis Prager and Hillsdale College. He rarely used his bully pulpit on the social issues that are destroying the nation.

 

There is much more that could and probably should be said,  but this list is simply for starters. Everything that could go wrong DID go wrong. 

 

FULL DISCLOSURE - The writer is a political independent who votes values which means he generally sides with the GOP candidate. He has been writing on policy issues for over 60 years.  

It is good he does not live in Brian Fitzpatrick's First Congressional District in Pennsylvania. He could not have voted for him. While he had breakfast once with his brother Mike, this fella is a John McCain wannabe, crossing the aisle and not having the courage of any real convictions I care about. He lost to a pathetic Dem, Bob Harvie with a very dubious record.

 

TEXAS HAS GONE SOUTH

The left has long promoted the strategy that the best way to gt their message across is to use a pastor. The corollary is doubtless the next best thing - a seminarian (just make sure he is from a totally apostate seminary and does not believe the Bible, but instead promotes his own proud but deeply fallen mind.)

Texas had been as red as an uncooked steak for some time, but some polls (which typically over-predict the left as thy did with Hillary in 2016, intended to form opinion rather than actually measure it) show him beating Paxton by a small margin.  My now ancient teaching that spiritual and political deception always flow together now has Texas as Exhibit A.  The home of numerous mega-churches, with charming but spiritually deadly leaders such as the Potters House, Joel Osteen, and what remains of the Gateway Church that the disgraced Robert Morris left behind, preached nonsense with the people now totally lacking any real discernment. People sent $58 monthly "seeds" to a very rich man whose son wrote a book never successfully debunked detailing his fathers massive porn collection.  Add to that the severe doctrinal and practice compromises of the Southern Baptist Convention, and you can see Texans were ripe for the picking. Along comes a physically attractive devil wearing a religious cloak running for Senate and they are defenseless against his charms. They had fallen for others before him, and this was smoky the next step into vn more deception.

Talarico is obviously ignorant of biology and reality. A baby is a separate body within a woman with separate DNA and all. The child is NOT a part of the woman's body. 75% of women say they were pressured into an abortion, often by a man. It is NOT just their decision at all. Another big lie. Many who say they oppose capital punishment readily endorse capital punishment on an innocent babe in the womb - no crime, no charges, no trial, no conviction, but immediate condemnation of the child with no rights of appeal. The most extremely demonic criminals up for capital punishment get many trials, appeals and years of life before their sentence is carried out, which it rarely ever is.  

I spoke to a woman who dismissed the entire Old Testament which lays the ground rules for capital punishment, forgetting all those years Moses spent with Christ in the tent of meeting in the wilderness when writing the Pentateuch, so Christ was certainly not against capital punishment and never spoke against it in the New Testament either. Romans 13 talks about the government not bearing the sword in vain, which is actually harsher than a firing squad. 

 

On and on it goes – he claims God is none-binary when he created MAN in His own image. FGenesis is crystal clear there is man and there is woman, PERIOD. It staggers the imagination how people who think they are the sharpest knife in the drawer blatantly contradict the Bible, thinking they are smarter than the Holy Spirit. Talarico is a dangerous man who comes as an angel of light and we know from whom he learned how to do that. Satan used to live in heaven and has made himself very comfortable in many fallen seminaries where truth vanished long ago and fierce wolves are the professors.

CLIMATE ALARMIST FOLLIES

Per our friends at CFact.org with Craig Rucker, TIME Magazine has joined the follies and claimed that squid lost brainpower due to - you guessed it - CLIMATE CHANGE! Forget that the authors of the study had no idea what caused the brain size reduction or whether it mattered,

The New York Times falsely reported on 112° in Paris, which was false. The Paris record is 197.4 from 2019, and this past June 24th it was 105.1°. 

These are just two of the seemingly endless Chicken Little false statements on everything being the "worst of all time" when that is not the case at all.

Universities and so-called scientific thinkers on Academia treat speculation and their own biases as FACT, while making life difficult for true thinkers who actually prefer evidence to mere opinions.  Thankfully, many students are NOT deceived, but conceal their thoughts from either professors, friends, or both, not wishing to be marginalized and despised. This study was from Northwestern University and the University of Michigan, but it would be in many places, even so-called Christian universities, which are largely compromised on so much that matters.

https://www.cfact.org/2026/08/30/nearly-90-of-students-at-two-us-universities-fake-progressive-views-for-professors-and-friends/

Christians are used to this bigotry, which certainly has zero respect for diversity, equity, or inclusion. Only the outliers qualify for those privileges, so it has always been a sham seeking to put untenable ideas and values on par with the ones that are actually true and good.

To quote CFact - and this could go on for a very long time.

"The NOAA’s own drought data show no discernible change in drought frequency or severity anywhere in this country since 1895."

"Since real-time record-keeping started in 1954, EF1-and-stronger tornadoes in Wisconsin have dropped 31.6% since the 1960s."

We must REJECT agenda-driven schemes to forcibly transfer wealth using an artificial boogeyman called CLIMATE CHANGE as a convenient agent.

God is sovereign over climate, weather, and everything else, and man cannot really do much as he is not God.  While God may sit in heaven and laugh at fools, we still need to deal with them, resist them, and be sure our circle of family nd friends is not taken in by their nonsense, their circular reasoning, and their hostility to God and man.

WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN

The classic song WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN is one thing - the reality is another. Chuckie Schumer, an ethnic Jew seemingly without a clue on moral and the most basic issues, is out campaigning for blatant anti-Semite and socialist Abdul El-Sayed who does not want Israel to exist and has family who seem even more radical than he is. Democrats do not reject ANYONE who runs on their ticket, no matter how wicked, evil, or demonic they are. My take is that they actually believe a lot of what he is saying, but were afraid to voice it. Now they are emboldened.  Stevens ran tough against him and is now campaigning with them. No person of principle does a 180° turn simply to support someone in their party UNLESS they actually were lying in the first place -most have moved away from Harris and do not want her to campaign for them.  They say they have to sound moderate to win, so they ljke and misrepresent themselves all day long. I pray for the total destruction of the Demoncrat Party, as that is exactly what they are in 2026 and have been for some time. I reject all Dems who run as moderates, because they are liars. Like Jersey's Sherrill and Virginia's Spanberger lied through their teeth to naive and misinformed voters and barely finished the champagne before revealing that they were just two more left-wing hacks. Democrats want power and have proven they are incompetant and useless in power. They try to convince people they are better economically than the GOP, but look at California, New York, and many other deep blue states people cannot wait to leave. Taxachusetts lost almost 200k.  LOOK at the voting - no matter WHAT they SAY, they vote for wickedness, except for John Fetterman AT TIMES.  THEY ARE LIARS TO THE CORE. It defines their brand. It really is simple. Anyone who knows me knows I do not give the GOP a pass either - do not get me started on Collins, Murkowsky, Fitzpatrick, etc. I am an Independent and go with the issues.  Unfortunately, the moral divide is so wide now that it is hard to be partisan, but so often there are half-steppers, such as the SCOTUS.  When libs ran it, it was no problem making the oxymoron of homosexual "marriage" national, but girls in blue states are left having to compete with men in sports and abortion is freely available there because the rulings were limited to state options. That is no way to rule on law. If it is right, it is right - if not, it is wrong. PERIOD.

MY EMAIL TO MIKE GALLAGHER

You celebrated a monstrosity today. The Sun is very supportive of the president, but is painfully honest. (They said what I and others who are not enemies of the President have been saying. I turned Mike's show off immediately as I am not a cheerleader.)

"TRUMP AND IRAN:  The Art of An Even Worse Deal"  Unconditional surrender would have been a better war aim than an accord that protects Tehran and will be celebrated by Hezbollah."

The J-Post is even more guttural and rightly so. Whatever happened to not negotiating with terrorists?  I have been in business 47 years and know a thing or two about negotiation.  

1) Never bother negotiating if the other side has never done so in good faith. Anything they agree to is worthless. 

2) Know your friends and enemies.  Israel is our bestie and only fights defensively. Trump trashed a man and did not remotely do that to our enemies.  The FACT that the head of the UN, who HATES Israel, China, Russia, and European globalists are all celebrating shows THEY understand the deal better than Trump and the trumpeters are doing. 

3) Trump promised to help the Iranian people and left a terrorist government in place when he had them on the ropes. The ceasefire was a joke and so is this agreement. 

4) If you please 10 clients, you can get another job. If you mess up with one client, you lose ten.  An AXIOM of business.  Trump has done some magnificent things, but I believe he will be considered another Neville Chamberlain for this century and that is sad though unfortunately true. Pride goes before destruction, and the arrogance shown when he was outnegotiated, outmaneuvered, and left with more broken red lines than even the hapless Obama. It is a sad say in Mudville.  I am praying this thing explodes before the Swiss host the signing. 

5) If you think you can beat a deadbeat client, you cannot. If you keep messing with the devil, he will waste endless time and leave you wondering why you even bothered to try. 

  

BTW, I am an Independent who supports freedom more than so many in the GOP who are content to send out endless surveys begging for money while never even bothering to inform the RINOs and the public on the issues including that most of Europe and Africa,  and even parts of South America, have laws similar to the provisions of the SAVE Act. Not all fraudsters are Dems - it is a worldwide sin.  Larry Elder can fill you in on that.   

I voted for the Prez three times, but I must say, this endless Lucy and the Football nonsense was painful - he was so eager for a deal, he made a terrible one. 

  

  

MORE IRAN FOLLIES - CHARLIES BROWN AND THE FOOTBALL

What a whole lot of American people do not have the stomach for are endless Obama-style "Red Lines" and Charlie Brown reruns with the Iranian Lucy always jerking away the football at the last minute, and the concept that anything Iran signs means anything at all! 

They put a $58 million price on Trump's head, yet he considered going there! He cannot make a deal unless there is GOOD FAITH on both sides. There are many people there who would want to cash in on that. 

If he does not want to be another Neville Chamberlain, he needs absolute and unconditional SURRENDER, not a kick-the-can-down-the-road phoney agreement they will break at the drop of a hat. No new president will be in the position he is in now - please, pray he fulfills the promise to the Iranian people that help is on the way. If these losers stay in power, we and the Iranians have lost.  And please, Bibi understands Iran better than our side does, so there must be a stop to trying to control him. We should have let him finish the job taking out their government instead of an erstwhile ceasefire that really wasn't.  

IRAN FOLLIES

It is hard to believe that after all the reviling of the Obama-Kerry failures in Iran and the quick pounding of Iran by Donald J. Trump, he has set red lines like Obama did in Syria and keeps negotiating with people who are not negotiating in good faith. We did not negotiate with Japan or Germany in WWII - we demanded unconditional surrender.  After 47 years of lies, terrorism proxies, lies, and games, that is what is needed here as much as it has ANYWHERE.

Witkoff and Trump Jr. seem to do it the feckless European way which leads no where. Like the Swiss who just had a terrorist incident at a train station with the man shouting the time-worn Islamic slogan, but with the government refusing to call it what it unequivocally was.

Trump promised HELP to the Iranians.  Leaving the terrorists in charge is not HELP - they already killed over 10,000 of their own citizens. They are worse than worst animals. Nothing they sign will be honored or agreed to, just like in Gaza, Lebanon, or anyplace else Iran operates and/or supports. They put a $58 million dollar price on trumps head and he is talking with them as though they were sane???

Israel had it right - Trump should have let them finish the job when they were responding to an attack. Bibi knows the enemy.  This time around, they decapitated leadership, but Trump sidelined them despite their superior intelligence and deadly accuracy. 

Trump is spending huge amounts of money with our military there while oil prices rise, inflation is increasing, and Iranian sympathizers ae growing here with the possibility of making him end the war like the Democrats did with Ford on Vietnam when we were on the cusp of victory. Dems LOVE to lose wars, ut Trump is considering it a victory to delay resolution with a longer cease-fire close to the midterms when all sensible poke now Iran has to be utterly defeated and removed - REGIME CHANGE is the only hope for peace there - the only hope for the rapidly growing Christian church there. 

Trump has had many remarkable achievements undoing and exposing the horrific policies and the extreme degradation of the Obama-Biden years. However, this Iran war will either be his crowning achievement or he will join Neville Chamberlain as one of the most naive men in history.  Which will it be?
