Dewey Defeats Trump!

Says Newsweek. Another example of when the press is on one planet, and the people are on another. Read more

Trump’s speech

Last updated on: November 9, 2016 at 12:39 pm By Dave Griffey

If it continues like this, it might not be so bad. There are issues I disagree with, and I hope he is not able to advance those causes I oppose. Obviously. That is always the case, and that’s OK. Just like others will disagree and hope for other issues to be advanced. Nonetheless, we need unity back or we’re going to lose the entire package that is the United State. A good start Mr. Trump. Well said. Read more

If you think Trump won because of a bunch of white, racist deplorables

Last updated on: November 9, 2016 at 11:03 am By Dave Griffey

You’re why Trump won. After listening to some of the media pundits today invoke skin color and contempt for the rabble, and others sure it can only be a bunch of bigots getting their way, I can’t help but think that this, along with Hillary’s ever questionable decision to constantly surround herself with the millionaire and billionaire celebrities who matter, were what helped Trump coast into the White House.

The best analysis of the election so far

Last updated on: November 9, 2016 at 11:25 am By Dave Griffey

Here. Yep. When you lose a game, the last thing you want to do is blame everyone else. What you do, if you want to be a winner, is look at what you did wrong and improve. We’ll see if that happens. “Hillary Clinton got her dream opponent, a barely literate reality show orangutan, AND SHE LOST TO HIM.” No offense to Mr. Trump, but many see it that way and had best figure out why she lost, rather than...

Trump wins

Last updated on: November 9, 2016 at 7:56 am By Dave Griffey

I was wrong. On both counts. Well, on one. At least per the electoral college, it wasn’t close. BTW, that’s twice that pundits and media commentators went into an election in recent years with the narrative “Goofy, good old boy Republicans might get the popular vote, but super smart Democrats know it’s the Electoral College that matters.’ That was the narrative on the eve of 2000. It was what Democrats and media commentators were saying as of Monday. So note... Read more

Voting under the Papal Banner

Last updated on: November 8, 2016 at 11:03 am By Dave Griffey

Has its perks. Not that Pope Francis necessarily endorsed one candidate or the other, but he chose to aim his comments at one particular side of the presidential race. Since he chose to focus on one set of problems unique to one side of the contest while not necessarily touching too much on the other side, it’s clear where the focus is on this election day. By doing that, those Catholics who either support Hillary, or at least will vote... Read more

Tomorrow night

Last updated on: November 7, 2016 at 10:05 pm By Dave Griffey

As our country gears up for the long, arduous 2020 presidential campaign, we’ll likely know who our president will be for the next four years. Just a guess on my part, but I’m figuring it will be Hillary Clinton. I could be wrong, but I’m also guessing it won’t be as close as everyone is saying. I think, in the end, many who don’t want Clinton won’t vote, because they just can’t bring themselves to support Trump, a man who... Read more

The way Catholics should really vote

Last updated on: November 7, 2016 at 4:04 pm By Dave Griffey

Here. Note what is and isn’t listed, what is and isn’t said. Any layperson trying to slide in a ‘sure they said this, but what they really mean is this’ should not be listened to at this time. Prayer and fasting and great amounts of reflection are in order. Naturally we hope anyone, faithful or otherwise, is going into the voting booth having reflected on, and pondered, what it means. I assume most have. Nonetheless, there is not one way... Read more

There is no joy in being right about the FBI investigation

Last updated on: November 6, 2016 at 7:33 pm By Dave Griffey

When you assumed the worst and end up being right. I said nothing would come of the whole FBI email kerfuffle redux. I have no clue what is going to happen now or how it will impact the election, if it impacts it at all. My guess is that Democrats and liberal pundits will take this as the final word, even if hours ago they were charging the FBI with being rigged and corrupt and in bed with the... Read more

The best way to promote diversity

Last updated on: November 6, 2016 at 8:10 am By Dave Griffey

Is to assault and punish anyone who fails to conform. Canadian professor Jordan Peterson demonstrates. Once again we see that modern Left is all about diversity. As long as you conform to the Left’s dogmatic definitions of diversity, it is completely open to anyone who thinks and talks they way it demands under threat of retribution. Read more
