Or do they worship the state?
Democrats are not going to win over middle America until they get religion. So why is Kamala Harris giving the cold shoulder to the annual Al Smith dinner October 16 in NYC? Named after the first Catholic to run for President (in 1928).
National publicity, earned good will, congenial company, and a free meal. You get to sit next to Cardinal Timothy Dolan, formerly archbishop of Milwaukee. Might absolve you of a few sins between courses. Get to stick a few humorous jibes at your opponent and show you can take a punch. Hellz bellz, Trump is going!
The National Catholic Reporter thinks it smart for Kamala to boycott. Then again, the publication is Karl Marx with rosary beads. (Recent headline: “Maybe Kamala Harris is not ‘pro-life’ but her policies are.” Note its snotty quotation marks over the term “pro-life.”)
Marquette Law School pollster Charles Franklin told WisAct members that 33% of Democrats claim no religion as compared to only 8% of Republicans. Kamala’s most cherished sacrament may be abortion.
Of the three Democrats in Wisconsin’s delegation, only U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore of Milwaukee lists a faith (Baptist). Mark Pocan and Tammy Baldwin, nothing. Heathen atheists! All seven Republicans list a religion (including Mike Gallagher, who quit mid-term).
Auditing the electoral college
Big to-do because Nebraska refused to go winner-take-all in the electoral college, meaning that one of its five electoral college votes, that being the Omaha district, might go to Kamala/Walz. An indication of how close Decision 2024 could be! Along with only Maine, Nebraska allocates its electoral college votes to the winner in each of its three congressional districts; the statewide winner gets the two at-large senate electors. Republicans might want other states to do so.
If Wisconsin employed that system, six of our 10 electoral votes would have gone Trump four years ago because Trump took 6 of our 8 congressional districts. Since Biden prevailed statewide (he really did!), Biden would have taken the two Senate electoral votes plus those of the Madison and Milwaukee congressional districts. Instead, of course, the Democrat took all 10. Even California would have given Republicans 12 of its 52 House seats, based on its congressional representation.
And another thing!
• Who else is tired of the Biden administration urging “restraint” in the Middle East? No war has ever been won with restraint. “Restraint” is killing Jews and Moslems.
• If you think you are plagued by tips now for just ordering a coffee and donut, wait until tips are tax free. Terrible idea!
• Trending on social media is this latest chum for gullible fools: “Taylor Swift’s concert attendance drops after Harris endorsement.” Have you heard? Roseanne Barr and Megyn Kelly are going to replace The View? And Robert DeNiro was kicked out of Hollywood? John McCain was a traitor? Brought to you by the people who blame Nancy Pelosi for January 6.
• My Nikki Haley has a radio show on Sirius XM, Spotify, and Apple.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: But not The View? BTW: The New York Times contends that Kamala “is a woman of faith; she shouldn’t be afraid to show it.” Which tells us only that she might be a woman of faith but a) IS afraid to show it or b) is not a woman of faith.

Claiming to have a faith is a lot different than practicing your faith. My religion is better than anyone else’s. If you don’t believe that; off with your head. If you have Helene bearing down on you, chances are you have found faith. How would you like to see Harris show her faith??? Otherwise; see ‘ya all Easter Sunday.
It Satan had a wife, it’d be Kamel
Despicable Lefty’s religion is environmentalism…not unlike the approach of the Third Reich and its leader, a vegetarian/animal LUVin’ failed Austrian artist.
Funniest thing; Klimate Kammando Kacklin’ Kamala’s campaign has spent at least $3.8 million on private planes in fewer than six weeks.
It gets worse.
The only religion that subscribes to the “off with your head if you don’t agree with us” would be the Religion of Peace©™®.
Say…aren’t they the same folks who want to throw LGBTQEIEIOs (including Mark POKEman & do nothing Tammy) off’n the top of buildings?
Why yes…yes…they ARE the same folks who want to throw LGBTQEIEIO off’n the top of buildings.
Funniest thing; despicable Lefty has allowed the Religion of Peace©™® to install themselves as VICTIMS.
All those murderous f***ks responsible for the unspeakable atrocities on October 7th? The language of the unheard.
Ah Lefty; so MUCH hypocrisy, so little time!

The Good Cardinal Dolan is not asking much of Vice President Harris. As Blaska notes, just that she stop by for a free meal. Still, she would seem to rather face down one of Mr. Trump’s wannabe assassins than do so. Is she really advocating for ALL Americans? Or all Americans, but Catholics?
And how on Heaven and Earth does she claim to be the candidate of joy and tolerance by this snub?
— A practicing Catholic is wondering
Cost -v- Benefit, KW, she’s WAY in over her head and can’t/won’t even stand on her own two (2) feet; pitiably pathetic.
The Gotch
Why is everyone ignoring the fact that, if she were to attend, she would most likely burst into flames? That would certainly create bad optics for her campaign. Crucifixes, holy water, and priests are triggering to the Left. Don’t pretend to not know that.
what does triggering to the left mean?
“triggering the left” means irritating you….
thanks for explaining that pantypoop.
If Biden could get away with portraying himself as a devout Catholic while dong everything under the sun to make abortion a (secular) sacrament, then anything’s possible. If the Church had the courage of its convictions, it would have excommunicated him long ago.
And let it not be said that the stodgy Wall Street Journal has no funny bone. From Peggy Noonan’s column, “Who’s Afraid of the Al Smith Dinner?”
“We are a church of miracles—the water into wine, the lame man who walked, the campaign advisers healed of their blindness. The little children of New York will no doubt be praying on coming Sundays in Mass, as they put their pennies in the collection plate, “Oh God, please change Kamala Harris’s mind, let her come to us, help the nice lady avoid the Mondale Curse. Amen.”
And woe be unto the heretics (aka homophobes) who dare to transgress the tenets thereof, like teaching grade schoolers the finer points of oral sex.
Sweet… another senseless post from the far-right Konservative Kristian Koalition
“Can Democrats get religion?”
Seems a growing number of Lefties, including former mayor BikeShorts, are seeing the Kacklin’ Kamala fever breaking, and are questioning THEIR FAITH.
The Gotch
Ha not really. DC is only concerned with poll numbers. He will be a toadie for Kamala to his last breath.
The true liberals are at the Rescue the Republic event tomorrow in Washington. You won’t see lefties there unless they are protesting.
“The true liberals are at the Rescue the Republic event tomorrow in Washington.”
Seems a number of recovering/nonparticipating/former Lefties will be in attendance…THAT’LL leave a mark!
The Gotch
The universal populist movement, known these days in America as Trumpism or MAGA, will always be with us. Currently they are simmering, working up to a full head of steam. The outcome of the 2024 Presidential is anybody’s guess.
Interesting post by former mayor Dave.
“Interesting post by former mayor Dave.”
Yes, but does he approach the high bar for adjective placement-n-usage set by your pal, The Gotch…?
The Gotch
Gotch: Jealous?
Speaking of adjectives, the Maggot Express appears to have touched down in Prairie du Chien, per Spectrum News.
Jealous of former Mayor BikeShorts? Gotta admit, he’s certainly had/has an effect and a voice in 77 Square Miles Surrounded By A Sea Of Reality goings on.
But jealousy, envy really, is one of the Seven Deadly Sins; that being the case, The Gotch wants no part of it.
People showing up in the strangest of places? You hear Kacklin’ Kamala (heh!) finally found her way to the border? Think she’s aware that her utterly devastating, comically inept Border Czar Stint enabled an explosion of Child Trafficking?
And that’s leaving aside the nearly Half_A_Million_Illegals
prowling aroundout there living the American Dream.Probably not; anywho, it doesn’t matter because she grew up in a middle-class family, in a middle-class neighborhood…am I right…?
Seems the lawns were nice, too.

Correct Anon. Just look at who Vance is appearing with TODAY. WALLNAU LANCE. In Pennsylvania. Believes gays are running “genital chop shops.” Says Harris uses witchcraft on people. On and on. Not a good look Vance, or is this part of your debate prep?
Mayor Dave is a moron like most progressives.
Kacklin’ Kamala Has FAILED AT LITERALLY EVERYTHING She’s Done E. Hovde
