George Rebane

Given the nature and extent of America’s ideological schism, all effective public policies should be made in the anticipation that this schism will endure.  Existentially we are no longer one nation.  Rebane Doctrine, 2024.

The mentality of collectivists – progressives, liberals, wokes, socialists, communists, neo-Marxists, … – ranges within a space anchored by insanity, cynicism, and evil. The evidence continues to pour in.  Today we hear leftwing commentators on lamestream media attempting to foster doubt that there was an actual assassination attempt on Donald Trump.  Their cynical cum evil proposals to their ill-informed audiences are that the blood letting was staged and/or was caused by some mysterious shards of broken glass exploding out of somewhere.

As expected, Bumblebrain is out and an even worse choice in Kamala Harris is now undemocratically foisted by the Dem elites as their new standard bearer. (more here)  But everyone knows Kamala will just be the next empty pipe to power for those who have been acting as the administration’s Star Chamber.  She will be a compliant conduit between the leftwing power brokers and the public policies they intend to implement, much like Joe Biden has been during his term.  From my perch I see the political landscape between now and November as a minefield for Republicans, especially Donald Trump.  There will be an opportunity to make countless politically destructive gaffs when shooting from the lip as the campaign really heats up.

[22jul24 update]  POTUS is NOT the hardest job in the world as any casual perusal of history will confirm.  In fact, POTUS may be the most fault tolerant job ever.  For how else do people with no executive experience and a woefully limited knowledge base perform more or less adequately – i.e. they didn’t start WW3?  Almost anyone who reads English can assume the position and make it through with on-the-job training that is amply available to a president.  Since FDR, consider the tenures of Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Obama, and now Biden.

PJ Media is not a credible source of news and information due to its conservative outlook – so again posits one of our leftwing commenters after I cited it above in reference to the ‘undemocratic’ way that the Dems have hoisted Kamala to be their standard bearer.  What I always ask these liberal critics is for the evidence they have to support their assertion.  They can never provide any such backing for their gratuitous conclusion.  This is in opposition to conservatives dunning liberal outlets like NYT, WaPo, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, PBS as willing shills of the Democratic Party publishing years of unrecanted lies to their audiences.  As evidence just consider their years of ongoing reporting on the Russian election interference, that the border is secure, onset of inflation, Trump instigating insurrection, FBI doctoring FISA evidence, Hunter’s laptop as Russian disinformation, Hillary’s paying for generating the infamous Trump memo, and on and on.  And now we know that the whole cadre of the country’s Left has been covering up and lying about the cognitive breakdown of Joe Biden which has been obvious to Americans during his entire term as POTUS.

    I see President Harris has already occupied the Oval Office.
    “U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris pressured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday to help reach a Gaza ceasefire deal that would ease the suffering of Palestinian civilians, striking a tougher tone than President Joe Biden.”
    So – who’s in charge, here? Where is Biden?
    Hilarious –
    “”It is time for this war to end,” Harris said”
    Ukraine? Naw, that war is cool. Who gives a shit about a bunch of white Euros?
    Well – Israel better stop the war or Harris will hold her breath until she turns blue – that always worked with daddy when she was a little girl.

    Tru dat –
    Former Democrat presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, who represented Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District in the House from 2013 to 2021, said she sees little change coming Americans’ way in the next six months, insisting Biden “hasn’t been the one making decisions” on key issues all along.
    “Clearly, President Biden hasn’t been the one making decisions on our country’s domestic and foreign policy for the last three and a half years,” she said. “The same unelected people running the country with Biden as their figurehead will continue to do so for as long as he is in office and with Kamala Harris, if she’s elected.”
    “The people who’ve been actually running the country are the unelected power elite from the administrative state, national security state and military industrial complex working hand-in-glove with the propaganda media acting as their agents,” she added. “Their goal is to remain in power at any and all costs, and [they] have already shown they are willing to do whatever it takes to defeat and destroy [former President] Donald Trump, as he is the greatest threat to their power.”

    “Any insight into the progressive preoccupation with female impersonators…..”
    I genuinely wonder about that.
    There’s other progressive causes…free abortion on demand for any trimester, unlimited immigration from the Third World, removal of firearms from the public, extreme versions of affirmative action hiring (these four somewhat overstated, but not much)…but the fascination with the kink of men-in-dresses really came out of left field for me.
    If Paul could save his breath on Orangeman Bad for a week or so, I’d be generally interested in hearing what all of his good friends’ stake in kinky dudes is. Pride Town is obviously a side effect of this. It isn’t about well-mannered gay men, but those rows and rows of flags are obviously oriented towards drag queens, sexualization of children, whacked-out K-6 teachers helping Billy with his lipstick. I’ve got no one to ask since everyone I know thinks the whole thing is rather grotesque.
    So, Paul, throw us a lifeline here. What is the fascination? Where did it all come from? Will this all disappear like a bad dream? Will it all show up in the archaeological record as a layer of burned buildings and size 15 womens’ shoes?

    Kamala gains six points in New York Times/Siena College poll. Up over Trump by 1 instead of Biden being down by 6 in last polling.
    “Vice President Kamala Harris is neck-and-neck with former President Donald Trump after she replaced President Joe Biden as the likely Democratic nominee, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll published Thursday.
    Among likely voters, Trump is at 48 percent to Harris’ 47 percent in a head-to-head matchup — narrowing the race to a virtual tie after Trump led Biden by six points when the Times polled the race in June. When third party candidates and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are included, Harris draws 44 percent of likely voters to Trump’s 43 percent, with Kennedy slumping to five percent. ”

    Perhaps you could describe Harris’ resume outside of government. She’s just another gubmint grifter I’m afraid.
    I mean, seriously, even a hard-core Democrat has to admit that she’s a shitty choice for higher public office, much less President. The anybody-but-Trump virus has a serious hold on some people I’m afraid.
    About all that I’ve heard about her for the last 3.5 years is how nasty she is to her staff. She’s been essentially invisible otherwise, a kind of nutcase version of Pence.
    It’s funny what a great shiv in peoples’ minds the catlady dig is. It’s the perfect way to explain a lot of our modern predicament. The country has been taken over by a bunch of urban useless-degree HR catladies and all of their prejudices. They are quickly reconstructing the country in a way that they like. It’s hard to come up with simple theories for situations, but that’s as good as they get.

    Kunstler….bringing the heat!

    What “Joe Biden” actually accomplished in office was the near-total wrecking of the USA. He torpedoed the authority and legitimacy of just about every federal agency, turned the Department of Justice into a Gestapo, seeded the federal court benches with Woke lunatics, allowed an invasion of perhaps 20-million border-jumpers (including many thousands of professional terrorists), coerced injections of an ineffective and injurious vaccine into millions of citizens afraid of losing their livelihoods, promoted gross medical experiments on sexually troubled children, invited drag queens and mentally-ill degenerates to cavort in the White House, spent borrowed money at a rate that propelled the national debt past the event horizon into a black hole, made the seeking of incompetence the number one priority of the Pentagon, provoked a war in Ukraine that now teeters on the hazard of a nuclear exchange, and allowed the CIA to complete its takeover of the US government. “Joe Biden” will go down in history as the worst of all 46 US presidents.

    It’s Joe Biden….it’s what he does!
    After a bludgeoning like that you’d have to be crazy not to get why Punch™ likes Biden so much!

    That’s a funny thing really. Harris’ father is a pretty strident Marxist.

    ‘Equitable’ is code for ‘taking from your enemies and give to your friends’ of course. Determining who is deserving is 1/2 the fun.
    OTOH, the Democrats are the party of Big Money, especially the financial industry, and Harris and her people are as ambitious as any other band of pirates.
    Likely end result: Democrats + RINOs hold onto power. Current changes like expansion of government interests, unlimited 3rd world immigration, increasing influence of HR Karens and men-in-dresses continues. Hilarity ensues.
