DNC almost goes off the deep end

Posted on by

But not quite.

Instead of electing Keith Ellison as DNC chair — which I had so desperately hoped — the Democratic National Committee punted and elected Tom Perez as DNC Chair. But wait, they didn’t entirely puss out: Keith Ellison is Assistant Chair. I guess that’s if Perez somehow has a “heart attack” (air quotes) or some such thingie. Then wouldn’t that be a joyous day indeed?

Note to Perez: ensure your life insurance is paid up. Then have an employee check your lug nuts daily.

From the WashingtonPost.com:

Thomas Perez elected the first Latino leader of Democratic Party

by David Weigel

ATLANTA — Former labor secretary Thomas Perez was elected the first Latino chair of the Democratic National Committee on Saturday, narrowly defeating Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) at the end of a contentious battle over the fate of the beleaguered party in the age of President Trump.

Perez’s victory concluded the first contested race for the DNC leadership since 1985, a contest the party had extended by a month to allow more debate. It put in place the Democratic leadership that will navigate thousands of state and local elections — where the party hopes to reverse the losses of the past six years — and a 2020 presidential race that could divide the party again.

Yeah, right, blah blah blah. Get to the good stuff.

Ellison’s defeat was a blow to the party’s liberal wing, personified by activists, labor leaders and organizers, many of whom had supported the presidential bid of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and had come to Atlanta to cheer Ellison on. Many of them warned that by picking Perez, the party was alienating the growing “resistance” that has organized against Trump.

See? Didn’t I say just that? Haven’t I said that all along? Ellison needed to be elected DNC chair so that he could right the wrongs of a thousand years.

The race was close enough that it required a second round of balloting, with Perez winning 235 of 435 votes cast. With tensions still high as the result was announced, nine Ellison supporters chanted “Party for the people, not big money!” and stormed out of the room.

President Trump weighed in on a Tweet in a fashion that I would have embraced:

Trump, in classic fashion, responded to the election by simultaneously congratulating and belittling Perez in a tweet: “I could not be happier for him, or for the Republican Party!”

I am, however, quite sad insofar as — though the DNC went a little left — it didn’t go as hard-a-port as I had so fervently wished. We knew the Demorats believed they had to double-down on whatever strategy didn’t work because, after all, the New York Times said so:

Move Left, Democrats

by Steve Phillips

The Democratic National Committee will choose its next leader on Saturday, and when it does it should choose a leader who will resist the pressure to pursue the wrong white people. Hundreds of articles have been written about the imperative of attracting more support from white working-class voters who supported Barack Obama in 2012 but then bolted to back Donald J. Trump.

The “wrong white people”? So there are proper white people? What does this tell you — again — about the Demorats? That is this: they see everything, everything, in terms of only two things: race and sex.

Any more, that’s all they have.

The far more important — and largely untold — story of the election is that more Obama voters defected to third- and fourth-party candidates than the number who supported Mr. Trump. That is the white flight that should most concern the next D.N.C. chairman, because those voters make up a more promising way to reclaim the White House. The way to win them back is by being more progressive, not less.

Right. What a play. Insist on doubling-down on what didn’t win and, instead of a bit of self-examination, make the play for “it’s everyone’s fault but ours.”

Whoever prevails as chairman must resist the pressure to follow an uninformed and ill-fated quest for winning over conservative white working-class voters in the Midwest. The solution for Democrats is not to chase Trump defectors. The path to victory involves reinspiring those whites who drifted to third-party candidates and then focusing on the ample opportunities in the Southwest and the South.

Correct. Those Caucasoid working-class morons in the Midwest — all flyover states — don’t mean shite. The only Caucasoids who mean anything at all can be found in northeastern newsrooms and DC enclaves, as well as Left Coast cities like San Francisco, Lost Angeles, Seattle, Portlandia and Sacramento.

Let’s remember, after all, that American blacks — a massive Demorat base — don’t know how to vote. Hell, they don’t have the first clue as to how to even get ID if required to vote. Right? That’s so oppressive on its face.

Wrong. As you can see.

So what was Obama’s so-called “legacy” — upon which the Demorats feel so incredibly compelled to double down?

His legacy is that of division on every political and social level imaginable. Sam Stein, for God’s sake, Senior Political Editor for the Huffington Post, said that Obama leaves the party “in a much worse position,” the “states are decimated,” he “lost control of the House and Senate,” the “governorships are decimated.” All factually correct.

Under Obama, the American voter has consistently rejected the stance of the Demorats (including Mr Obama) for the past eight years (2008 to 2016) as they lost 63 seats in the House and 10 seats in the Senate. Republicans (from 2008 to 2016) gained 900+ seats in state legislatures, along with 12 governorships across the US — meaning that 2/3rds of the governors in the nation are now Republicans.

As the Divider-In-Chief, Obama’s entire agenda revolved around striating people by class, sex, race, religion, earnings, region, state, city, county, clothing, music, laws, wages, healthcare, culture, employment, family, mode of transport, energy consumption, food, cable channels watched, media consumed, social settings, the way you view America, even your writings, statements and thoughts.

Good times. The DNC semi-dodged a bullet but only by half.

Let’s just see how much Keith Ellison steps all over the face of Perez. And if the Demorats allow him to.

P.S.

Here’s what the Demorats and the DNC are NOT doing:

The Senate has only confirmed 14 of the 549 senior federal positions that Trump needs to run his government. Cabinet secretaries and people who run the departments, bureaus, agencies and the rest of government still need confirmation. The hold-up is due to Demorats only. And the written interrogatories being sent back and back by Demorats.

So please note: the REST of the government is being administered and run by career bureaucrats and Obama holdovers. Read that: Obama holdovers. Do. The. Math.

There are another 120 vacant federal judgeships and, of course, the Neil Gorsuch nomination to the Supreme Court. Each requires Senate approval.

Guess what? The Senate is on vacation. What I suggest? Fill all those mounting court vacancies by “recess appointing” judges on March 21st.

Not like there isn’t precedent for that or anything.

Dershowitz: if DNC elects Ellison I’m leaving the Democrats

Posted on by

The Democratic National Committee (DNC), will elect a new chair the weekend of the 23rd to the 26th.

The DNC fell apart when emails revealed massive corruption and favoritism as leadership pulled out all the knives in order to eviscerate Bernie Sanders in clear support of Hillary Clinton. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was thusly forced to resign as DNC chair (fear not; her corruptive skills were purchased by the HRC campaign), subsequently followed by the equally-corrupt Donna Brazile who colluded with CNN in order to pitch HRC softballs when she didn’t already have the questions CNN provided to Brazile.

Brazile was temporary pending the DNC election. Candidates officially include:

  • Sally Boynton Brown, Idaho;
  • Keith Ellison, Minnesota Representative;
  • Ray Buckley, NH;
  • Thomas Perez, Maryland;
  • Pete Buttigieg, Indiana;
  • Jaime Harrison, South Carolina
  • Jehmu Greene, Texas

In the most recent development, Buckley has since exited and thrown his support to Keith Ellison. Ellison is a front runner along with Tom Perez. The NEA and SEIU support Ellison. Apparently, noted attorney Alan Derschowitz does not.

From Breitbart.com:

In December, emeritus law professor at Harvard University, author and Orthodox Jew Alan Dershowitz, said if Ellison is elected as DNC chair he would resign from the Democratic Party. Dershowitz said in an interview on Fox Business Network’s Mornings with Maria Bartiromo:

If they now appoint Keith Ellison, who worked with Farrakhan, to be chairman of the DNC, you’re going to see a lot of people leave. I’m going to tell you right here on this show, and this is news, if they appoint Keith Ellison to be chairman of the Democratic party, I will resign my membership to the Democratic party after 50 years of being a loyal Democrat. I will still vote my conscience and mostly I will vote for Democrats, but I will not be a member of a party that represents itself through a chairman like Keith Ellison, and through policies like that espoused by John Kerry and Barack Obama.

It’s no surprise to know that the hard-left progressive side of the Demorats is pushing hard to Keith Ellison. Ellison is a Muslim who was sworn in on a Koran and has ties to terror links CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood. You already know how I respect the so-called “religion of peace.”

I say: please, please, oh please, DNC, please elect Ellison as your DNC chair. There is nothing like doubling down on stupid and adding an extra layer of Muslim appeal for that extra buttery nutjob Demorat goodness.

It will go so incredibly well for you.

The insanity of the racist DNC chair candidates

Posted on by

Recent DNC chairs; Debbie Wasserman Schultz (L), resigned July 2016, current interim DNC chair Donna Brazile (R).

It is no shock that the Demorats are in a very serious kerfuffle. Of the five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance), Demorats have hung up on the transition from denial to anger.

I call that denger. Or angenial.

Many still can’t believe it occurred — witness the host of Leftists stating that Donald Trump is “not my president.” Also witness the sixty-seven Demorats who refused to attend the inaugural of Donald Trump, unquestionably the 45th President of the United States.

Following the scabrous and failed terms of Debbie Wasserman Schultz who resigned as DNC Chair in July of 2016 due to the exposed emails indicating the obvious (and successful) attempt by the Dems and DNC to completely sabotage the candidacy of Bernie Sanders, Donna Brazile stepped in as interim chair.

This is the same Donna Brazile — by the way, a former CNN analyst, fired on October 14th of last year — who leaked and fed CNN town hall debate questions to the Hillary Clinton campaign and later said “I’ll send a few more.” She also pushed back at CNN over coverage of the Clinton campaign. As in, CNN thought about changing up their standard fluffy softball questions to some a bit more probing, such as “what’s your favorite kind of cat” or “did you get your $10,000 coat on sale?”

TheHill.com said about Donna Brazile:

As WikiLeaks has shown us, from one single email account, quote approval by sources does happen. Sharing stories in advance with presidential campaigns does happen. Collusion via sharing debate questions in advance does happen. Reporters advising and/or cheering on campaigns does happen.

Facts in evidence, though Brazile had the temerity to deny them — another fabrication.

Up for DNC Chair is Representative Keith Ellison of Minnesota (5th District), who was sworn in on the Koran. A black Muslim, you see. The proverbial Demorat “best of both worlds,” a “two-fer” if you will.

Let’s let Kevin Jackson, executive director of The BlackSphere, tell you about Keith Ellison.

An “ethnocentric racist” who wants to establish a separate country just for blacks. Perfect. Further, he does indeed have ties to Islamist causes. Robert Spencer of JihadWatch.org wrote of Ellison:

Ellison has spoken at a convention of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Yet ISNA has actually admitted its ties to Hamas, which styles itself the Palestinian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Justice Department actually classified ISNA among entities “who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood.”

It gets worse. In 2008, Ellison accepted $13,350 from the Muslim American Society (MAS) to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca. The Muslim American Society is a Muslim Brotherhood organization: “In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation’s major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members.” That’s from the Chicago Tribune in 2004, in an article that is now carried on the Muslim Brotherhood’s English-language website, Ikhwanweb.

Is CAIR in there? Of course.

Also, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) raised large amounts of for Ellison’s first campaign, and he has spoken at numerous CAIR events. Yet CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups.

Yes, Keith Ellison would make a wonderful Democratic National Committee chair, a position that will come up for vote in February.

Let’s shift gears and watch Sally Boynton Brown, another candidate for DNC chair (and current Idaho Democratic Party Executive Director), trot out the reasons she should be installed.

It’s interesting to watch the black male and black female in the background of her speech, nodding and smiling, thinking “she is going to make one very useful tool.”

It’s also interesting to note the verbal pandering she proffers to blacks when she says “and I can’t do it without y’all.” Naked pandering because, as she admits, she’s from Idaho and I’ll wager absolutely no one says “ya’all” in Idaho. And certainly not her, when she returns.

Does it not sound something like this, from Hillary Rodham Clinton?

Note to Brown and the DNC: keep it up. Please, please, please continue to double down on stupid, unforgiving and daft. You truly have learned nothing from your defeat in November and, for that, I thank you.

You know you can’t win on details or on facts or issues themselves. All you have left — as emphasized by Mr Obama — is a greater focus on division and identity politics using emotions manipulated to the Nth degree. Everything, to Demorats, distills down to only race or gender.

So, go ahead: please make the Demorat Party the party of Hate Caucasoids. Make Caucasoids of all shapes and sizes uncomfortable to be associated with you. Scourge them. Make them hold you at arms’ length. That’s perfectly in keeping with the Demorats being the party of the Little Guy because — in California and moving to other states — Caucasoids are in fact the demographic minority now. It’s also in keeping with the Demorats being the party of peace, tolerance, inclusivity and open-mindedness.

I say again: please-oh-please install either Ellison or Brown as DNC chair.
