America can feel good about itself again

and quit the party of angry!

Here is why Republicans will win the mid-terms, even here in increasingly blue Wisconsin. We’re optimists, they’re not. Democrats scold you for not checking your guilty white privilege at the door of this stolen land. Maybe progressives don’t live in a world where everyone is a victim of your selfish success, but they’re working on it.

We cannot encounter Elizabeth Warren without picturing Nurse Ratched sexually shaming poor Billy Bibbit in the Cuckoos Nest. Ilhan Omar flees Somalia to lecture America about how screwed up we are. Zohran Mamdani wants us to feel the warmth of socialism — an economic system even cold Russia abandoned.

You’d think Democrats would run out of ideas — no, make that, one would hope Democrats would run out of ideas but there’s always another gummint giveaway program in the policy hopper.  

Here in Wisconsin, Francesca Hong is the front-runner among Democrats angling for Wisconsin governor (as we predicted). A Zohran Mamdani democratic socialist. State Rep. Hong (D-Madison) is polling just ahead of Mandela Barnes, who, if he isn’t a card-carrier, is cheating the collectivists out of their dues. Barnes also carries more baggage than a Pullman porter. In an eight-way race, either of them could win with just 13 percent of the vote.

Dunno much about the other six Democrats (except Brett Hulsey, about whom we know too much) but neither does anyone else. Guessing they will recast themselves as centrists in the mold of New Jersey’s Mikie Sherrill, whom hockey fans booed lustily Wednesday night. Democrats are determined to disguise their Joy Reids in Carhartt and 18-wheelers.

Why “Stay Angry?”
How about “Be Happy!”

Cheerleaders win

That’s why Donald Trump’s State of the Union worked. Talked about what is right about America. We are winners (dammit!), not sinners. Reagan talked up America; Tommy Thompson predicted Rose Bowls. Our hockey teams win Olympic gold. Progressives take a knee during the national anthem. Our military kicks ass. Democrats abandon airfields to the Taliban.

Now the party that Defunded Police wants to Defund Pol ICE. More Biden open borders but this time through Judge Hannah Dugan’s side door. Murderous drug cartels run half of Mexico. Not here, amigo. We bomb fentanyl importers; Democrats read them their rights.

Blaska’s Bottom Line: Ask your candidate if s/he will give illegals the vote. Enforce DEI “equity.” Permit boys in the girls’ room. “Reimagine” law enforcement. Buck the teachers Union. Ask if they’re really serious about “affordability” (a word Jake Tapper never uttered in the Biden years). Who raised property taxes an average 11.2% in Madison? (Hint: t’weren’t Republicans.) Hellz bellz, we can’t afford Social Security any more, much less another Quality LEARING Center!

People are loading up the U-Hauls to flee Democrat-run states like California, New York, and Illinois. Voting with their feet, one might say.

Are they wrong or just selfish?

    I’d like to carry your Nurse Ratched analogy a little farther. Remember the scene where Jack Nicholson goes for her throat? Remember how you cheered him on for reacting in the only feasible way to being pushed beyond his limits? More Republicans need to learn that lesson and go for the collective throat of progressives in the run-up to the mid-terms. Trump conducted a master class in how it’s done during his State of the Union address. Every Republican candidate needs to take a lesson from the Master.

    I hope you are right about the mid-terms, because I am not optomistic. Supporters are getting tired of Trump, not what he does but what he says. Plus the swing voters, people that don’t vote for their party (because they are independent) have a very light turnout for the mid-terms. If they don’t show up at the polls, the Republicans lose.

      Yeah, Trump’s Tweet fingers — not Nancy Pelosi — are his worst enemy.

    If interest rates get to 4% the Republicans will flourish.

    Might I respectfully suggest that before you instinctively support the bombs away approach to drugs you consider whether there’s any examples of that actually working or whether we will see any reduction in cocaine here next year compared to this year when El Mencho was killed in a massive military assault.

    Could I alsosuggest that what actually is shown to work is more important than what gives you an adrenaline rush?

      Peter, do you really think what we’ve been doing is working?
