No-one has done more to divide America than these three men

VIDEO: Victor Davis Hanson: What the DNC "autopsy" should have said

A week ago the Democratic National Committee released the post-election "autopsy" on the disastrous (for them) 2024 presidential campaign. DNC Chair Ken Martin published the 192-page report after facing intense internal pressure to release the previously-shelved document.

Before you watch the video, if you're a sucker for punishment, you might read through the full report, here: "DNC releases 2024 autopsy, with chair apologizing for 'creating an even bigger distraction’", NBC News, 21/5/26. See if you can figure out, without Victor Davis Hanson's help, what's missing.

No? You don't want to wade through 192 pages of the veriest bullshit? Well then... Mr Hanson says what's missing is any mention of the "New" Democratic Party agenda. Why? Because the Jacobin wing of the party refuses to believe that agenda is the reason why the Dimocrats lost so decisively in 2024.

They believed that a war on fossil fuels, open-border policies that let in over 10 million illegal aliens, allowing men to compete in women's sports, and the nature of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan were all great policies worth recognition. Listen up.

.

 

"In conclusion," says Mr Hanson, "if the autopsy wanted to be accurate, it would have done this. We lost the 2024 campaign because we had a radical agenda that reflects the Jacobin neo-socialism of the new party. For us to get elected on a national basis, we have to hide that agenda."

Who's behind it all? Who pulls the strings?

For any libtards who don't quite see the connection, here's a very simple illustration of a stone truth.

VIDEO: Prostate cancer afflicts both bad people and good

Since the lickspittle meeja started the deathwatch with the video equivalent of 72-point headlines yesterday, you probably know that former president Joe Biden has been diagnosed with very aggressive prostate cancer, which has metastasized and spread to his bones. 

About him and his physical and mental problems I will say nothing more, except that I wouldn't wish that on anyone. May God grant him, and all those who suffer from incurable cancer, comfort and a quick and painfree passage into eternity.

But Mr Biden is not the only one facing death from the same cause. Scott Adams, the creator of the much-missed Dilbert comic strip --  cancelled years ago for being politically incorrect, especially when it comes to saying out loud the quiet part about race --  announced on his "Coffee With Scott Adams" vlog today that he has the same type of cancer and doesn't expect to be with us much past the fall.  

Mr Adams says medically assisted suicide (MAID) is an option for him, but doesn't say whether or not he has made up his mind to do it. I don't know his religious views but suspect he's not a believer. If so, he won't be concerned about "Why God cannot forgive the sin of suicide", WWW 4/5/25. But we will be asking St. Peregrine to pray for him and all those who suffer from cancer, and for those who care for them.

"Catholic" governor of WA signs law requiring priests to break the seal of the confessional

The great state of Washington is known to be liberal in its politics and policies, every bit as much as its neighbours of the Left Coast. On Friday, its governor, Bob Ferguson (D - are you surprised?) signed a controversial state law that requires priests to report child abuse to authorities, even if they learn of it during the Sacrament of Confession.

The measure, introduced in the state Legislature earlier this year, adds clergy to the list of mandatory abuse reporters in the state but doesn't include the exemption for information learned in the confessional which was written into the 2023 version of bill. 

The original version carved out abuse allegations learned "solely as a result of a confession." The latest bill explicitly notes that clergy do not qualify for a "privileged communication" exemption. 

Just like Sleepy Joe Biden, Governor Ferguson calls himseslf a Catholic. He told the meejua that as a Catholic he was "very familiar" with the Sacrament of Confession. He did not say, though, when he last availed himself of the sacrament, or whether he intended to do so at the first opportunity, to confess to the grave sin of putting the laws of Caesar ahead of those of God. 

Apparently Mr Ferguson either did not attend RK class at school, or was instructed by some modernist who doesn't know the Faith. Canon law is explicit that any priest who breaks the seal of the confessional is, by so doing, automatically excommunicated from the Church, and, as part of that, is no longer a priest. He can only be reinstated by order of the pope (in practice the local ordinary). 

Most Rev. Thomas Daly, the Bishop of Spokane, issued a statement on Friday saying that the clergy of his diocese would not break the seal of confession, even if required to by law. "[S]hepherds, bishop and priests," the bishop said, "are “committed to keeping the seal of confession — even to the point of going to jail." 

"The sacrament of penance is sacred and will remain that way in the Diocese of Spokane," he added. "As this matter continues to unfold, I intend on keeping you informed and updated. An important element to the greatness of America is our constitutional commitment to religious freedom."

Senile Joe hands out Anti-American awards

Walt is not the only one bestowing honours and awards for achievements in 2024. Yesterday Senile Joe gave the Medal of Freedom on failed 2016 Democrat presidential candidate, and well-known election denier Hellery Clinton. Yes, we have a photo.

Other recipients of the nation's highest civilian honour were poster-child for TDS Liz Cheney, and pinko billionaire George Soros, the kingpin of progressive politics, who’s poured billions into funding far-left causes, soft-on-crime DAs, and anti-Israel campus protests.

The medal, along with $1.98, will get you a coffee at McDonald's.

2024 Wally Awards: Biggest Lie of the Year - VIDEO

Rather than do a lengthy yearend review of stuff you already know and will read about elsewhere, we've decided to just hand out the coveted Wallies, without further ado. This is the big finale, the Wally Award for Biggest Lie of the Year, also Most Egregious Lie of the Year, Most Obvious Lie of the Year, etc etc. 

The contest this year wasn't even close. The winner was nominated by CBS News talking head Jan Crawford, on "Face the Nation", and seconded by Hugh Hewitt, is an American conservative political commentator, radio talk show host with the Salem Radio Network, attorney, academic, and writer on law, society, politics, and media bias. Heeeeere's Hugh!

Indeed, the Biggest Lie is the lickspittle media's denial of what Ms Crawford calls President Biden's "obvious cognitive decline: -- the most underreported story of 2024.

Ms Crawford asserts that Senile Joe's declining mental acuity appeared obvious to all but members of the corporate media -- including her own network! -- whose very job it was to cover the White House and its occupant. She says the nature of the entire 2024 election could have been reshaped if Mr Biden’s mental fitness had been addressed by the lickspittle Washington press corps and the liberal elites earlier in the campaign.

Yesterday morning, in response to a question from FTN moderator Major Garrett, Ms Crawford said, "Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate." She noted recent reporting by the Wall Street Journal and Breitbart News revealed how White House aides covered up Senile Joe's mental decline  by forming a tight circle around the octagenarian to limit his in-person interactions.

Staffers kept meetings short and controlled access, top advisers acted as go-betweens and public interactions became more scripted, she said, "And yet he insisted that he could still run for president. We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years, which could have led to a primary for the Democrats."

In spite of these recent revelations, Democrats and White House reporters continue, even now, to insist that Senile Joe could have won the 2024 election had he not been pushed into the ditch by the Obama-Clinton cabal. The very same liars have yet to name those who were -- and still are -- actually running the country as Mr Biden’s "obvious cognitive decline" became more evident.

Footnote and WOW from Ed.: Walt started this blog about six months into the first presidensity of Barack Hussein Obama, because someone needed to say that America (not to mention the rest of the "free world") was headed in the wrong direction... off the rails, into the rocks, down the toilet, all of the above. Now the ship of state has been turned to starboard, Walt is considering the possibility that his work here is done. Stay tuned.

2024 Wally Awards: Embarrassment of the Year

Rather than do a lengthy yearend review of stuff you already know and will read about elsewhere, we've decided to just hand out the coveted Wallies, without further ado. Today we present the Embarrassment of the Year. (Entries restricted to USA.) May I have the envelope please?

The winner is... Senile Joe Biden in "D-day doo-doo"

I don't think there's been such a cringe-worthy episode since President Bush the Elder vomited on the Prime Minister of Japan.

Runner up... Harris-Walz jazz dance duet.

What's so embarrassing about this, I hear you libtards ask. Really, is this the best the Dimocrats can do?

Sleepy Joe pardons Creepy Son-o-Joe

Words fail us, so...

Really, the mind boggles. Senile Joe was expected to do this in January, but something must have happened. Such as a federal attorney heading for the courthouse to prefer new charges involving The Boy's dealings with Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company.

Any such charges would necessarily involve the Soon-to-be-former President, who, while he was Vice President [Note the absence of a hyphen there. Ed.], improperly withheld a loan guarantee and took a bribe to pressure Ukraine into firing prosecutor general Viktor Shokin to prevent an investigation, and to protect Hunter, who was on the Burisma board.

Having pardoned The Boy, and thus covered his own sorry ass, Brandon scuttled off under cover of darkness, to appear the next day in the People's Republic of Angola, one of the most corrupt countries in Africa... which is really saying something. Perhaps he is there as a consultant, to advise the Angolans on how to get away with just about anything. [Whaddya mean, "just about"? Ed.]

VIDEO: What Joe Biden got for his birthday

Thanks to Greg Gutfeld for letting us know -- honestly, we hadn't noticed -- that President Brandon celebrated his 82nd birthday yesterday. There was no party at the White House, because they couldn't get fire insurance. All those candles you know. But everyone involved in the Dimocrats' shocking loss on November 5th sent gifts....

 

Ha ha. Very funny, Doctor Jones. But allow me this note of concern. While Senile Joe was celebrating, or sleeping, or whatever he did, the Cackler buggered off to Hawaii, along with her gentleman consort. That leaves the country in the charge of whom? 

Wasn't it just a couple of months ago that Nancy Pelosi,  George Clooney et al told us that Brandon was unfit to continue his campaign? Are we to believe that he suddenly got fit again, and will be able to do the necessary should (for example) the Russians send an ICBM in the direction of Washington? Just askin'....

VIDEO: Bill Reilly reviews the View's love-fest with Senile Joe

I am told that President Brandon re-emerged from the basement this morning and appeared on The View. I couldn't watch it, as the harpies of that alleged entertainment programme make me physically ill. Bill O'Reilly watched it though, and has posted these thoughts about the hour-long love-fest.

How does ABC get away with their constant stream of anti-Trump BS? What happened to the principle of equal time? Does the Federal Communications Commission even exist any more? Oh. Yeah. Federal! That explains it.

Democrats ask you to disbelieve what you saw with your own eyes

VIDEO: This is not a "cheap fake"; this is real!

Ad released by the Trump campaign a couple of hours after the so-called debate ended.

   

Even the White House's DEI press secretary abandoned the "cheap fake" defence before the evening was over. 

This is real. If you vote for Senile Joe -- you wouldn't really do that, would you? -- this is who you'll put in charge of America's future for the next four years... or possibly less. Don't say you weren't warned.

VIDEOS: Dems in damage control after debate disaster

It wasn't a good night for Sleepy Joe Biden. In spite of having everything set up to give him an advantage -- unfriendly network and hosts, no audience, only one live mic at a time, etc -- he has been revealed as not just "sleepy", but suffering from senile dementia. Millions of people must be saying "I didn't realize it was that bad."

Before we get to the videos, a comment about the debate as a whole. The strictures imposed by the Democrats and the format notwithstanding, it wasn't as bad as I anticipated. The anchors refrained from arguing with the candidates, and only pointed out that they weren't answering the questions a couple of times.

The anchors needed some coaching on the rules of order. In a proper debate of this kind, you put a question or a proposition to one party, let him answer, then let the other party reply. The first party might get a rebuttal, and that closes the topic. What you don't do -- as was done to President Trump twice -- is to pose a different question instead of letting him challenge the first speaker's answer.

Not a big deal, really, because the candidates stopped answering questions (or even pretending to do so) almost from the get-go. They had talking points they wanted to get out -- President Brandon even told us the number, "1 - 2 - 3" several times -- and said what they wanted, no matter what question was asked. After a while, the moderators didn't even bother to ask questions at times.

The "debate" -- quote marks are appropriate here -- wasn't really about the issues anyway. It was about image, about which one had the alertness, confidence and mental acuity required of someone who aspires to be the leader of the free world.  

That, dear readers, is where Joe Biden let himself and his party down. And badly! President Trump repeatedly attacked President Biden on the economy and his foreign policy record, while the latter took aim at his rival's criminal conviction and alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election. 

The candidates accused each other of lying, and both were right. But the Donald was in "rally mode" -- as if addressing a friendly audience -- whereas Senile Joe gave a performance which can be called stumbling, at best. Democrats expressed concern at the President's weakness, with party insiders saying his early answers triggered panic. His supporters told the BBC his campaign team overworked the president -- a week of rest at Camp David is tough, eh -- and senior White House officials said they are meeting to discuss options. 

OK, let's go to some video. You've probably already seen this first one. President Biden opened the debate with a raspy voice and disjointed, rambling answers, reigniting Democratic concerns about his age and cognitive ability. Many of his answers were hard to follow. At one point, seemingly losing his train of thought, Brandon says, "we finally beat Medicare," -- his own policy on earned benefits. 

 

In text messages with Politico, Democrats expressed confusion and concern as they watched the first minutes of the event. One former Biden White House and campaign aide called it "terrible", adding that they have had to ask themselves over and over "What did he just say? This is crazy." 

But wait (as Vince Offer used to day), there's more! Here are some highlights [or lowlights? Ed.] from Sky News Australia.

   

And, from the same source, here's what you didn't see....

   

Cue the Warner Bros cartoon finish: Th-the-th-the-th-the... that's all folks! As in, the election is over. Joe Biden lost, right there. Walt's lifetime pct .987.

Laken Riley Act passes House , but Brandon still can't say her name

Yesterday afternoon, 7 March 2024, the United States House of Representatives passed a bill that would require the detention of any illegal immigrant who committed burglary or theft.  The Laken Riley Act was named for Laken Riley -- Say her name! -- a 22-tear-old nursing student at the University of Georgia at Augusta, who was killed [You'd better say "allegedly". Ed.] by José Antonio Ibarra, a 26-year-old from Venezuela who entered the USA illegally.

The measure cleared the House by 251 votes to 170, with 37 Democrats joining all Republicans present in voting "aye". It was the latest move by GOP lawmakers to put a spotlight on the crisis at the pretty-much-open southern border, which has emerged as a key issue in the 2024 campaign, and a serious liability for President Brandon.

Until last night's anti-Trump State of the Union (SOTU) tirade, Demented Joe Biden had carefully avoided any mention of Ms Riley's tragic death, refusing even to mention her name in public. But last night, addressing dozens of legislators and others wearing "Say her name!" pins and buttons, he rose to the challenge... and blew it! Here's the video.

Among those giving the gears to to the soon-to-be-former President last night was Marjorie Taylor Green, the Republican who represents Georgia's 14th district. All those in favour of Donald Trump choosing her as his running mate, raise your hands!

Meanwhile, Sr Ibarra has been charged with felony murder, false imprisonment, and kidnapping. No date has been set for his trial, as Fani Willis, who is expected to lead the prosecution, is otherwise occupied.

Groundhog Day 2024

A reader in upstate New York reports that Hellery Clinton did NOT see her shadow this morning, so it looks like we'll have an early spring.

Not far away, a shivering creature emerged from a basement on the Delaware Shore and saw a shadow... not his, though.

The day of reckoning has arrived

Yes, campers, it's time to see how good a prognosticator Walt really is. [If you didn't prognosticate in public, you wouldn't get caught near so easily. Do it in the bathroom with the door closed, likely everybody else! Ed.]

On 10 January 2023, Walt wrote: I see a bad year ahead. 

The woke AABC countries and western Europe are one gigantic insane asylum, and the craziest inmates are in charge. Things will get worse unless one of the following predictions comes true. 

I predict that at least one of the three following heads of government will be out of office by Christmas, as a result of resignation, revolution or death. 

"Pope" Francis 

Demented Joe Biden Justin 

"F*ck" Trudeau 

The ousting of any one of them would not necessarily make things better in their domains. In fact it would be followed by a period of instability verging on civil war, from which a better church or country might emerge.

Let's see how we did. 

Francis's Church of the One World Religion, the Paranoid States of America and the Great No-longer-white North are still in business, although arguably going downhill (or down the toilet) fast.

The only thing that will save any of those institutions is a dramatic change of leadership, followed by cataclysmic changes of policy. Or, in the case of what was once the Catholic Church, a reversion to the 2000-year-old Faith of our fathers.

As for their "leaders"...

As of this morniong, Francis the Talking Pope is still in the Vatican, dreaming up new novelties [That's a redundancy. Ed.] to distract his followers from any thoughts of guilt, repentance and salvation.

Corrupt Joe Biden is hiding -- Biden is hidin' LOL -- in his basement in Delaware, trying to keep the walls constructed by The Boy from closing in and crushing him. As of this morning he is not in the Oval Office.

Justin "Fuck" Trudeau is on holiday in Jamaica, having burned tons of avgas to get there, and so contributed more to "global warming" than yer average frostback. Before he left, he emitted a substantial amount of CO2 telling the lickspittle media that everything's OK in Canada and he will never, ever quit. Never. Ever. Today, at any rate he is not in his office on Parliament Hill.

So Walt's score is 2 out of office out of 3 predicted. 2 for 3 = .667 on this one. Lifetime pct .977.

Formerly "Demented Joe", now "DESPERATE Joe"

President Brandon must be desperately trying to stave off the electoral disaster into which he's leading (?) his party. Could there be any other reason for enlisting election denier Hillary Clinton  to build infrastructure, raise money, and mobilize voters for his election campaign?

Breitbart News calls Hellery "a twice-failed presidential candidate [and] a longtime election denier:" Why do they say that?

* 2016: Claimed the Supreme Court “took away a presidency” in Bush v. Gore. 

* 2017: Alleged she would not “rule out” questioning the legitimacy of the 2016 election. 

* 2020: Claimed the 2016 presidential election was not conducted legitimately, saying, “We still don’t really know what happened.” 

* 2020: Claimed Stacey Abrams “would have won” Georgia’s gubernatorial race “if she had a fair election” and that Stacey Abrams “should be governor” but was “deprived of the votes [she] otherwise would have gotten.”

They quote NBCs as saying "People close to Hillary Clinton anticipate she’ll be a tireless campaigner for the Biden campaign, rallying Democratic voters by laying out the stakes and explaining why a Trump victory could subvert America’s democratic norms. [Seriously? Walt]

"She is also well positioned to caution voters that if they support a third-party candidate, they may cut into Biden’s margin and flip the election to Trump, Democratic strategists said. Clinton’s role is only expected to grow in the new year, but for now, she is filling a space that at a later point in the campaign season former President Barack Obama will join." [SERIOUSLY? Walt]

FiveThirtyEight polling shows Crooked Joe is the least popular president in modern US history, with a -18 approval rating. No wonder many Democrats asked him not to run for re-election. But he says he has to do it. Why? Because if he doesn't, the Democratic candidate for president is likely to be... wait for it... Mrs Bill Clinton. Yikes!

"Pull the strings! Pull the strings!"

Trivia quiz: Who uttered the headline in a movie about a famous film-maker? Answer later... if I remember.

Less than a year away from disaster, what will the Democrats do?

I guess by now you've all seen the video of President Brandon appearing to get lost while laying a wreath at a Veterans Day ceremony on Friday. If not, you can see it, along with some comment from Sky News Australia's "The Sunday Showdown", here.

The Democrats have a problem -- an incumbent President who is eligible for a second term, potentially even worse than the first.

Still, Senile Joe insists that's he's going to seek re-election, notwithstanding that every poll and virtually every pundit predicts that he'll get thrashed.

The Democrats who are not Dumbocrats know this. Behind close doors, even those who are in thrall to the Deep State, expressing their confidence in Senile Joe's ability (and sanity), are wracking their alleged brains to find a way to dump him, while there's still time to nominate someone with a chance, however slim, of pulling their nuts out of the fire... so to speak.

Further reading: "Lefties beg Brandon 'Don't run, Joe!'", WWW 13/7/22. And yes, they've been casting about for alternatives since before the could've-been-worse results of  the mid-terms. The pleas to leave are much louder now, for it's certain that when Brandon drowns in the Trump tsunami, he'll take others -- Denocratic governors, Democratic senators, and Democratic Congresspersons -- with him. Walt predicts that the 2024 elections could result in a Republican double majority which would last for at least eight years. (Lifetime pct .988.)

What to do, then? How about if Brandon retires now "to spend more time with his family" (possibly in a federal facility of the barred kind)? 

That would give the lovely and fragrant Kamala Harris -- America's first almost-black female vice-president -- almost a year to climb out of the deep hole in the approval ratings into which she's dug herself. If you don't recall how she managed it, check out the VIDEO in "If Brandon dies, this woman would become President", WWW 2/5/23.

Maybe not such a good idea when it comes to electability. Some people still feel sorry for Poor Old Joe, and believe the mess he's in was made by the Boy. But when it comes to Ms Harris, people just laugh.

But hang on! Walt thought of a solution, the latest in a long line of brilliant but under-appreciated ideas. See "How Brandon can get rid of the Three Witches", WWW 18/8/23. In a nutshell [? Ed.], Senator Dianne Feinstein (the eldest witch) would retire, then Camela would resign and Gavin Newsom would appoint her to serve out the rest of Not-so-Feinstein's term.

Are you still with me? Ms Harris's resignation would leave the Veep position open, so Crooked Joe could appoint Crooked Hellery Clinton to the position, which would be a springboard to a third try for the presidensity after Brandon steps down at the end of this year, as predicted by my goodself last January. 

It was a fine plan, IMHO, which Gavin Newsom screwed up by appointing Laphonza Butler as the new senator from California after Ms Feinstein obligingly died. The Fonz's only qualifications for office seem to be that she is (a) black, (b) a woman, (c) a Democrat and (d) President of EMILY's List, a fundraising juggernaut that works to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights. How California is that!

Why would Governor Newsom make an appointment which offers no support whatever to the Democrats' 2024 campaign? Surely it has nothing to do with Mr Newsom's own presidential ambitions. His name was mentioned when the Dumbocrats were beating the bullrushes for a candidate in 2020, but he chickened out. My guess is he intends to sit idly by while the Dems implode, in order to present himself after a decent interval as the right man to lead the Party as it "builds back better". Dream on, Gavin, dream  on.
