Voting McCarthy: Why It Hurts But Why It Needs To Be Done

Happy New Year everyone. The House vote continues tonight in Washington, D.C. as votes dial down to one or two needed for U.S. Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA 20) to become the House Majority Speaker once again.

Why it hurts: McCarthy has been disappointing in his track record in previous terms, failing to make needed policy gains or any real difference outside of bipartisan policies that continue to fail America.

Why it needs to be done: Although U.S. Representatives have been sworn in, they are being held in recess until there is a House Speaker in the majority party. Until there is an elected House Speaker, committee assignments and important investigations can not move forward.

November 8, 2022 – GOTV America!

For my followers and viewers or those new to my blog, I encourage you to go out and vote tomorrow. America is the example of freedom still today that allows all eligible people to vote for who their government elected officials are in their state and country. Yes, your one vote does matter. We here in Connecticut have an example of one state seat being won by a single vote. This was in the early 2000’s so that end result would probably not turn out the same today. Recounts have changed dramatically since this time, despite any continued good intentions versus the bad ones that have found opportunistic results however odd to switch the outcome.

That said, candidates that deserve your vote tomorrow across the nation from state office to national seats, in my vue, are the following with quick and short notation:

Candidates for Governor:

Lee Zeldin (NY-R) Governor – I know this state well. It deserves a sounder voice for its residents/taxpayers. The by-default incumbent, Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul, trying to be elected by New York voters for the first time with elected three term Governor Andrew Cuomo having to resign after personal scandals in 2021, is in many ways worse than Cuomo.

Kari Lake (AZ-R) – very impressive candidate who has walked the walk during her entire campaign despite her democrat incumbent hiding in the basement and unwilling to debate.

Bob Stefanowski (CT-R) – his second run against trust funder and incumbent Ned Lamont. Stefanowski lost by only 44K votes in 2018. More appealing personally and hard working, over taxed and regulated voters in Connecticut are hoping he wins this November 8th, 2022.

Brian Dahle (CA) – wouldn’t it be great if California voted in Dahle over Newsom? Newsom and his supporters seem to believe he has an even greater future in politics but this is not going to happen. Having lived in CA for 14 years, I feel for the many Republicans, Conservatives and Independents who still continue to live there for needed reasons. Looking at a red/blue map, most of the state votes red but the big hubs smoke them out. It’s a sad story.

Ron DeSantis (FL-R) – Amazing Governor. Check out his resume if you are unfamiliar with it. Incredibly accomplished individual, Veteran, scholar (Yale/Harvard degrees) and politician.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders (AR) – Former Press Secretary under President Donald J. Trump (45) and daughter of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee – she’s got it all.

Candidates for U.S. Senate that are in the five heated toss-up races going right into tomorrow plus other important contests:

Senator Ron Johnson (WI-R) – Absolutely deserves re-election. A hard worker who is sincere in his concerns about the future of our country and his state residents.

Candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz (PA-R) – who worked his way through medical school and became a success with old-fashioned hard work. His Democrat opponent is perhaps the worst candidate I’ve ever covered when reporting live or doing research. A trust funder who now perceives himself as a blue collar worker is not only dishonest in his campaign stumps to the true hard backbone of PA, but not capable of fulfilling his job if elected.

Candidate Herschel Walker (GA-R) – so impressive he had to jump so many hurdles to get where he is as an athlete. Not easy to get into the NFL let alone become a star. A team player, Herschel knows how to work the field, take a pass, block the opposition and make a touchdown whether rushing or receiving. Put him in this Senate seat so he can win the game for America.

Candidate Blake Masters (AZ-R) – a young, dedicated, strong voice for Arizona and the many problems it has with its borders and for America as an extra sound voice in the U.S. Senate.

Candidate Adam Lexalt – (NV)  Another young contender to bring patriotism back to D.C. and stop the border crisis. 

Candidate for U.S. Senate – General Donald Bolduc. No comparison between Bolduc and the incumbent Democrat Maggie Hassan.

Candidate for U.S. Senate – U.S. Representative Ted Budd (NC-13) from North Carolina.

#

All Navy Seals (Retired) running for office in addition to other veterans. Exceptional patriots and candidates who made your life still a peaceful one despite their sacrifice still standing along with many lost Brothers in Arm.

Incumbent Senator Marco Rubio (FL-R) – Rubio has grown into a true patriot for our country and continues to please his state constituents and national caucus. John Kennedy LA-R is a needed voice in the South that delivers common sense for his constituents and country. Rand Paul (KY-R) is one of the most impressive men I can think of today with his medical knowledge and fortitude.

George Logan for U.S. Congress (CT-5) – A toss up race as of tonight. November 7, 2022. Only candidate I saw out on the trail most of this year with my own U.S. Senate Candidate I was an advisor for, Peter Lumaj, that could keep up with Peter. Not an easy thing. An engineer, he is a former State Senator who is a hard working family man, moderate in policy (which is good for the majority of Connecticut voters) and dedicated. The Constitution State has had zero balance in terms of party leadership since U.S. Rep. Chris Shays lost his re-election in 2008. It’s time to bring at least one Republican voice to represent Connecticut people fairly to Washington.

{Editor’s Note: Anyone I’ve left out – my apologies. The list is long of great candidates in 2022. Best of luck to you this Election Day, 2022.}

THE VERDICT: WHY NOT GUILTY FOR KYLE RITTENHOUSE WAS CORRECT

Leave a comment

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 LEAVE A COMMENT EDIT

The decision made by all jurors today in Wisconsin in the Kyle Rittenhouse case was educated and sound, even with the many things not presented to them, or presented to them poorly by the District Attorney, Thomas Binger. Binger, for many reasons that can be listed here but are easily found, should resign or retire immediately.

The mainstream media who works for the Democrat, now left or Communist Party here in the U.S., worked overtime to present a false narrative to those viewers who either willingly watch their programming or have to, due to fed program choices in airports, hotel lobby’s, college campus main rooms, waiting rooms, etc.

{More tomorrow.}

I don’t have much to add that people reading this blog post have not heard already, in that I have followed this story from the beginning and formed similar conclusions well before the jury did the same. What I agree with among the learned commentators and constitutional lawyers, is that the case against Kyle Rittenhouse should never have been brought to trial in the first place, and that it is clear his actions were conducted in sheer self defense.

Sadly, what is considered the mainstream media, in terms of reference not viewership by fellow press associates, continues to put out false information on a regular basis. Their coverage of the Rittenhouse trial broadcasts a myriad of untruths. This list should be easily found online but may be scrubbed at any time.

What should be clear to everyone, is that this young man who intelligently chose to choose his life over the people coming to severely injure or kill him, used his Second Amendment rights that are written in the United States Constitution. The democrat party of today, which only has majority after being installed, focused on this trial only because they don’t want any individual thinking they can use those rights to protect themselves against their unruly illegal mobs when they take the streets.

CA Recalls: Why Davis and Not Newsom

1 Comment

September 22, 2021

Written by Juliana Simone

The reason why Gray Davis lost his seat as Governor in 2003 when voters said yes to his recall, and why Gavin Newsom kept his seat as Governor in 2021 comes down to three things. They’re really quite basic.

First and foremost is the mere factor of time. Almost two decades have passed and in CA, where the liberal legislative majority rules the once Golden State, spoon fed voters young and old have by majority bought into their rhetoric in terms of what is good and what is bad for our country and California. Little to none is true, but nevertheless, the daily messaging has taken hold. The people who live there are ripe for this pablum, having lived there myself for over a decade, and their majority vote should not be surprising to Americans. Unlike many commentators’ thoughts I read after the results, as much as I understood their negative remarks against Californians, such as, “you’ll get what you ask for,” I don’t agree as I feel for the many people there who don’t want these people in office and want to see their state turn around for the better. Geographical red/blue maps post elections show much of CA is conservative or Republican but they can’t win over the massive numbers of the liberal southern and northern hubs.

Secondly, syndicated conservative radio host, Larry Elder, the favorable opponent to Newsom in the September 14th recall vote, is an admirable and accomplished Black man, but not in the right Party as a Republican. Ask the brilliant Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, or his predecessor Thurgood Marshall; Accomplished former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; Gifted Neurosurgeon Ben Carson; U.S Senator Tim Scott (R-SC). The list is long, actually. All of these amazing people would be lauded 24/7 by the mainstream media and the left, if they only had a D by their name and ran as democrats.

Third and last, Newsom is part of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s cartel, and she made clear in a public appearance that she supported her nephew-through-marriage the evening before the recall vote. This is no small thing in California as politics go. With no lauds available for Newsom on September 13th, the last day for pro get out the vote speeches for the unpopular Governor, as he has created such a large exodus from the state they lost a Congressional seat in re a reduction of population, all the liberals from President Biden to Vice President Harris who flew out there to save him could say about why the people of California should vote for him, was…wait for it…he’s not Trump! Ah, the go-to mantra for the left when another unimpressive failing candidate who has no merits or record to stand on needs something – anything – for why they should be elected. In California, the anti-Trump rhetoric works well enough to get even the most shameful people into office. Fortunately for the rest of America, that’s not the case almost anywhere else, as we all know.

What I admire about Larry Elder, aside from his coming out of South Central Los Angeles to graduate from Brown University and the University of Michigan to then practice law for ten years before his becoming a radio talk show host, is his concession speech. He closed saying , “We may have lost the battle, but we sure as hell are going to win the war.” That is the spirit, gumption and tenacity needed.

Californians: Vote For Larry Elder For Governor

Leave a comment

Elect Larry Elder for Governor of California Campaign Sign

September 13, 2021

Written by Juliana Simone

Like many Americans are thinking tonight, the hope is that Californians recognize what a dire state they are living in under sitting democrat Gavin Newsom and will vote for Larry Elder tomorrow on Tuesday, September 14, 2021. The vote should be unanimously in favor of Elder who would have a strong chance of finally turning the largest state in America in a positive direction and bringing it back to its once golden status. California was a state people dreamed of going to and traveled far to get there to put down stakes and make a successful life for themselves and their future generations.

Under democrat leadership, it’s whittled away to near ruin and drove away many of those born and raised residents to new homes in other states. California is the only place with such a high declining population as people flee from the many and exorbitant taxes, weak illegal immigration policies, skyrocketing crime and homeless rates and an overbearing big government for greener pastures anywhere else regardless of direction. So much so they lost a congressional seat this year.

Newsom personifies all that is negative about California with his reckless spending, liberal legislation, and clueless personal mindset that makes him blind to how the people he represents as Governor live under his rule while he lives above it all flitting from one fun event to another in privileged seclusion from the sad reality all around him. Like most left leaning politicians, his private security detail keeps him away from the violence others have to deal with every day in California, so reducing the police forces that keep his people safe and restricting gun ownership for citizens self-protection seem like fine ideas. His list of failures as the head of this once fine state is long, and it’s why over two million people signed the petition to recall him from office.

The vote is tomorrow for those who still vote the real way, in person. Let’s hope there are a lot of voters who still plan on filling out their ballots in their local polling places, since mail in ballots clearly lose their way or end up counted or uncounted in mysterious ways. There is a news story that’s been out for a few weeks that the vote by mail ballots have been printed in such a way that there is a keyhole type punch on the back of the envelopes that will show if the voter voted for Newsom or not. Unbelievable but if this is still the fact, why was it allowed? Republicans are also reporting they’ve been told that they’ve already voted, when they in fact have not, so the fix is already in as far as democrats and Newsom are concerned.

What they perhaps don’t understand is how many people don’t want Newsom as their Governor anymore and don’t like the liberal policies being shoved down their throats statewide and federally. Perhaps there will be enough fed up Californians regardless of party affiliation or background, to overcome any potential fraud and send the man ruining their state packing. Gavin will be fine. More time to dine at The French Laundry and no one will care he’s not wearing a mask despite his mandate.

Perhaps they’ll elect Larry Elder who, as the mainstream media keeps failing to mention as he’s in the wrong party as a Republican, would be the first Black American to be the Governor of California. A long serving career conservative talk radio host, his fiscal policies would right the state economically. His values would reduce the growing crime wave and make streets and homes safe again. His life travels from growing up in a tough neighborhood in southern Los Angeles to become a successful businessman would focus on education opportunities for those who now find learning impossible. His turning the state around in a positive direction might even bring back some of the native Californians who felt they had no choice but to leave taking their families, businesses and needed taxes with them.

Larry Elder, who’s had to deal with physical threats and harassment while campaigning without a peep of outrage from the typically vocal media, has shown his strengths throughout this unfair negative barrage. How he’s dealt with all of this, except for the conservative outlets that exist for the millions of people who fight for patriotism and love of Country, shows the volume of personal convictions and inner self guidance he possesses. These qualities are what make someone a great leader. 

Living there twelve and a half years over three decades, many people I knew signed the petition for Gray Davis to be recalled at the time including myself. California is special in that it even gives voters this option. Not all states do. Twenty do altogether with different provisions. I wish I could cast my vote for Larry Elder tomorrow. Even though I haven’t lived there in well over a decade, perhaps I already did unbeknownst to me.

NEXT POST: WHY WE LOVE CLINT

Leave a comment

Actor and Director Clint Eastwood has one of the longest careers in Hollywood for a multitude of reasons. All of them because he exudes talent. I’ve had this outline in my draft folder for too many years. It’s hard to comment on someone so great, but fellow writers who respect my work have encouraged me for some time to put this up. With sincere homage, read “Why We Love Clint.” This will be a detailed piece, and will include why my three favorite Eastwood films are: “American Sniper,” “Bird,” and “The Bridges of Madison County.”

I have a draft folder with so many nearly-finished articles about film, I’ve told a published writer friend of mine I was leaving it to him if I died first. Like many, I’ve watched movies intently and have much to say about these productions. At this time, I’m going to catch up on my views about classics, genres, actor/actresses, writers, directors, cinematography and the audience that perceives this artistry whether as a film enthusiast, expert or standard viewer.

The Fix Is In: The Swamp Keeps Winning

From Election Eve to the Supreme Court Decision Today

December 11, 2020

I’ve refrained from writing a new post since Election Day with the incomprehensible morning results which surprised millions that suddenly somehow Joe Biden won in the wee hours of the “still counting” counties.

As President Donald J. Trump showed in his forty-five minute speech on December 2nd, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXmVUY7sP9w&t=2229s which gave detailed information of how his reelection was stolen by many corrupt machinations, the steal of his reelection continues. Even late today, the Supreme Court declined to hear the case brought by the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, which was joined by 18 other states after filing. https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/images/admin/2020/Press/SCOTUSFiling.pdf

One hundred and twenty six federal House members also signed on to this suit, via an amicus brief led by Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) that included Republican House Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy.

Interestingly, McCarthy’s name among 19 others was somehow omitted after a “clerical error” was discovered. With this correction, 126 Republican House Members were totaled.

“This brief presents [our] concern as Members of Congress, shared by untold millions of their constituents, that the unconstitutional irregularities involved in the 2020 presidential election cast doubt upon its outcome and the integrity of the American system of elections,” the brief read.

Lower state supreme courts in compromised swing states where voter irregularities occurred in numerous ways, were expected to rule against any of President Trump’s legal team’s lawsuits, as this is the pattern with liberal judges today. The same situation occurred in 2000 with Bush vs. Gore, when Democrat candidate former Vice President Al Gore tried to hand pick counties in the state of Florida to find ballots in his favor to pad the voter outcome using new terms such as “dimpled and hanging chads” which under magnifying glasses perhaps showed the “real intention” of a voter whose ballot was kicked out for lack of clarification.

Losing this challenge, the Democrat Party realized they needed to change how paper ballots were processed and brought in new electronic machines that would tabulate how a voters ballot was counted, by detecting filled in circles with designated pens.

Part of the pro-election law lawsuits via President Trump and others, refer to the voting machines used in swing states, made by Dominion. The controversial company has many liberal and well-known investors and was founded by some of the biggest procommunist individuals. Trying to look this up online now, it’s amusing to see how scrubbed the information on this company is after five search pages. Texas is one state on record that said they turned down Dominion when choosing ballot machines, because of the clear evidence they could easily be tampered with in terms of results.

Writing this piece could take hours and much of this can be found online outside of mainstream media sites. My point as a multi-termed Republican Town Committee Chairwoman, cable public access host for 15 years, campaign worker federal and state, blogger and reporter, is that I have zero respect for both the liberal legislators and their minions, including their media lapdogs, and the Never Trumpers. I’m not sure which is more disgusting to me. The liberals at least are tribal, however anti-American and blasphemous their agenda is which seeks to destroy life from babies to seniors to nuclear families. The Never Trumpers are not tribal, and are the enemy within whether it’s out of spite, bitterness or control. Millions of us dislike both groups intensely.

As for the Supreme Court who fails in their duties by not hearing the State of Texas case, none of these appointed judges who voted against hearing this today, should be sitting there. Either you don’t get what your job entails or you are afraid of the outcome of your decision. If it’s the latter, you’re a disgrace to our Founding Fathers and The Constitution of the United States. How many of these great men signed their names only to be brought to ruin in the end? This is who you now represent? The swamp gives you your orders and you obey? Back down? Recoil? Save yourself?

In fact, any and all people who are involved in this big “gotcha” moment against President Trump (45), since you won’t recognize the shame you should feel – to the Never Trumpers – hey, President Ronald Reagan advocates, why aren’t you following his 11th commandment? – {Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican} – and to the extreme leftists in the elected Democrat Party and their talking head tools littering our televisions and print publications, it will be interesting to see how you feel in four years after a horrendous upheaval of all things American. Understand this won’t happen again if you pull it off this time.

President Trump, who clearly won in a landslide, had to be taken down by the swamp. He ran in 2016 on draining the swamp, which millions and millions of people from all sides embraced to elect a President who cared about America and its people. But the swamp sat back after four years of coming up with every trick in the book, which failed to take back this exceptional man who had more accomplishments some say than any other president in one term, for this one bogus moment. Enjoy this fake triumph, fake win, fake news, fake “president elect.”  

Remember this: Never before has any sitting president had tens of thousands of people, in states across America during one day in multiple venues for weeks, heard the chant, “We Love You!” This honor belongs only to President Donald J. Trump. We’re all still here.

Vote For PReSIDENT TRUMP – tHE Whys are long

Leave a comment

Written by Juliana Simone

November 2, 2020

For viewers watching CNN, which is the only American news channel shown throughout Europe and many other parts of the globe, or those watching any network affiliate on their local stations every night, people viewing these broadcasts would only perceive President Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, as a man who has no good qualities, and as a man who did nothing productive throughout his entire first term except perform some illegal activities. Even children are subjected to this messaging, whether through certain teachers at their schools or literature handed out to them which makes them believe our President is a bad person they should not respect in any way or vote for if nearing voting age. It’s a sad misuse of commentary whether public through media leverage and distribution, or private through unobserved classrooms throughout the education system K-12 and beyond.

The exact opposite is true from what these people with their anti-Trump agenda proclaim.

Donald J. Trump is one of the finest Presidents of the United States ever elected – and some scholars argue, perhaps the best. This analysis is based on how much he has achieved in almost four years; how many promises he has kept when seeking office as a candidate; how hard he pushed forward with continual attacks and false narratives against him on a daily basis from the press, the opposing Democrat party and the never-Trumpers. He was even impeached on totally bogus grounds bought and paid for by his former opponent in 2016, who was (and is) guilty of much more.

The huge appearances of United States citizens appearing at his nationwide rallies demonstrate how educated American voters are on all of these facts and so much more, as the tentacles run deep. Shouts of “We love you” are a new rally chant to let President Trump know how firmly our country stands behind him. His opponent on his best day had three hundred cars show up in a parking lot to beep their horns when he made an attempt at simulating a Trump event. Interestingly, attendees and objective reporters noted the horns only beeped when his opponent made an anti-Trump comment – not when he talked about proposed policy.

The vote for the left ticket, is only about the people who writers have deemed those with “Trump derangement syndrome” in that their unexplainable hatred for the sitting President exceeds any logic or acknowledgement of his accomplishments. Going into the final hours before Election Day, November 3rd, 2020, the left Democrat mantra has little to run on so they’ve chosen two talking points: Trump is responsible for the Coronavirus and Trump is a racist.

Sad. Neither is true, of course. COVID-19 came out of Wuhan, China and Trump immediately took the right steps to keep the virus from spreading worse here in America. His opponent at the time of Trump’s decision called him a xenophobe for this act. Trump being called a racist is really baseless with the left organized mainstream media reiterating to death, the tired claim that the President never said he was against white supremacy groups, and that he called felons from Mexico bringing their crime into the United States the reason we needed to build a wall.

The President made the right actions. Stop air travel from China and later parts of Europe to keep the Coronavirus from coming into our country, and stop gang members and criminals from Mexico coming into our country who would not abide by our laws and wreak their havoc here. Good decisions.

The list is long as to why President Donald J. Trump should be reelected for four years.

I’ll list a few most readers here would know: Supreme Court Justices appointed; lowest unemployment rate among all groups before the virus hit – and is now resounding back; tax cuts that made families, small businesses and corporations thrive resulting in a booming economy including eliminating obsolete burdensome regulations; taking business out of China and returning it to America; rebuilding our military that when he assumed Office was a dismal shell; returning health insurance from mandated Obamacare to consumer choice and lowering prescription drug cost; recognizing Israel’s Capitol Jerusalem and his Middle East Peace Treaty; making clean fossil fuel affordable to all Americans with record low prices; dissolving the ISIS Caliphate; renewing the Nation’s commitment to space exploration while also adding the Space Force, a new branch of the military directly assigned for defense; negotiating trade deals that created thousands of jobs in the U.S. and increased exports, the exceptional Republican National Convention that showed winning speakers with no stereotypical view of who understands Republicans and who votes for them, and the amazing First Lady given zero credit by females on the left, among many other things.

The list is long! Look it up on an unscrubbed search engine, uncensored social media network or objective website if you need more reasons to vote in our patriotic 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.
