Good write up with focus on PA state races where “fringe” examples ring true….

We can of course thank Loren Michaels’ SNL skit last Saturday where Kama got 90 seconds of airtime and due to FEC chairman calling them out NBC was forced to allow 90 seconds of RNC commercials where the Kama Sutra trans prisoners tax payer funded surgeries played on both Sunday night football AND Sunday afternoon NASCAR. Think which voting demographics this impacted.

Didn't hear anything about a WWT here in Australia, but sounds like a good strategy.

Everyone is getting tired of the They/Them people.

Worldwide Paradigm shift: from Globalism (driven by Western Television, which taught that people could become whatever they dreamed of) to ubiquitous adoption of Digital technology in every corner of the globe. Now concern is over the particulars of people’s lives, which includes rejection of Modernity and its fractured view of humans, and the massive retrieval of spirituality/religion. This is a force no one has any experience with.

Outside of the West, places are now thinking in terms of civilization and how to build and strengthen it: digital is how they are going to do. Official adoption of Digital technology to harness their and retrieve their pre-modern histories.

The West becomes relevant globally again if it also goes the way of Digital, rather than silly talk about regulation or allowing the tech types to make the decisions apart from the culture.

So a fundamental question is what do the Digital elites want? Which of them are pro humans? Which of them think we have to retrieve the roots of the West and recreate a civilization?

Prime Minister Meloni, upon receiving a Global Citizen award from the Atlantic Council in Sept talked about the need to look back and embrace pre modern Western civilization. Hungary and a few other voices talk about this as well.

The Dems win again when they have their version of Trump.

Dem party is falling apart, just as the GOP did post 2016, and will become something different.

Tucker Carlson just posted this: apparently McConnell just called for early leadership elections in the senate. Two of the candidates are Trump-haters (Tucker only named John Cornyn) and the third is Rick Scott. The election is Wednesday and by secret ballot. McConnell & the rest of the old RINOs have to go, the sooner the better. I guess McConnell hasn't gotten over being booed for a straight minute at the RNC.

Two things.

I don't know how Ratcliffe--rumored to be in line for NSA--fits into all this, or whether he's qualified.

I don't know who will be AG.
