You take the good news where you find it. Then hope that it’s a trend.
First up:
In Baltimore, arguably one of the most violent and corrupt cities in the country thanks to its overwhelmingly Democratic Party rule, voters had enough of the city’s state attorney. In her bid for another term, Marilyn Mosby placed third in the party’s primary election last week.
Even the strong likelihood that mail-in ballots were fraudulently submitted to support her campaign, they weren’t enough. She finished third behind two other lesser-known candidates. Thanks to those bail-in ballots, and the state’s rule that they can be counted up to two days after the day of the election, the final results weren’t released until Friday night.
Mosby made a major mistake: She ran on her record. She celebrated reducing the prison population significantly (using Covid as an excuse); she rejoiced at “holding police officers” accountable for their alleged misdeeds; and she was pleased to have exonerated many criminals after she reviewed their convictions through her progressive lens.
The article is quite a bit longer, providing fullish details of Mosby’s background. It’s great to see a Deep Blue city waking up, although it remains to be seen what her replacement will be like. Still, Soros lost is the main point. Coming on the heels of the Chesa Boudin recall in SF, it’s good news. I’ll take it, for now. The question is, Is this an indication of a shift in voting patterns coming up?

As Dems Go All In On Climate Change, Literally 1 Percent Of Americans Call It Top Concern
This story is about a recent NYT/Siena poll. Obviously this is good news right from the start, but the best news comes a bit lower down:
… exactly 0 percent of Hispanics said that climate change was at the top of their list of pressing problems. ...
Ten days after finishing the poll, The New York Times commented on these numbers, displaying some confusion at such low numbers of the public’s concern for an issue they describe as widespread and catastrophic. “Even among voters under 30, the group thought to be most energized [brainwashed?] by the issue,” the Times reported, “that figure was 3 percent.”
In case you were wondering, the top issue for Hispanics was the crappy economy.
I feel compelled to correct you, Mark. I think the word is HispanicX…
As you have mentioned many times Mark, these people live in a make believe world, and they have not figured out that the rest of the world doesn’t. Hasn’t dawned on them that the First National Bank of Climate Change Catastrophe went bankrupt a long time ago for those of us who live in the real world every day.
