Blue Horseshoe

A lot of these major universities, which are feeder systems for Team Blue strongholds and campaigns are losing a massive amount of high level alumni funding. (Older legacy Jewish families in the social/corporate elite aren't exactly happy with protests on campuses demanding they be exterminated) Also inciting young voters has a pronounced impact further down the ticket ( i.e. the cascading losses in small dollar political donations) In effect, The Squad has been "defunded" But also establishment Democrats who lack brand name value in the national daily media cycle will suffer too since you need money to win elections. Further down are simply more reliant on those small dollar donations. It was the massive loss of State Legislature seats that went Red during Obama's run at POTUS that set up the groundwork for the massive changes when Dobbs was overturned. Team Blue has effectively "defunded" itself. It's completely bizarre and equally pathetic at the same time. How do you control most of the major levers of power in the country (Hollywood, Big Education, most of the MSM, most of Big Social Media, etc, etc) and still fail like this?

What's going to happen is that teachers will quietly arm themselves. And I'm not just talking about Red strongholds and Conservative areas. More firearms have been sold legally in the US in the past four and a half years than at any other point in recorded American history. By projections, since 2018 to current times, if you assess what is the likely numbers of ALL firearms in this country, close to 10 percent were sold in that short time period. Think about those staggering numbers. 1 in 10 of ALL legal firearms in America were sold and acquired in the past four and a half years. The demographic breakdown is also breaking all previous trends in every possible way. Lots of single mothers. Lots of women period. Lots of black women. Lots of elderly. Lots of minorities. Lots of LGBT. Those who were seen as typically avoidant of firearms period, by demographic range, are now buying guns in droves. So you'll have more teachers, who just don't want to get trapped and be massacred by someone like Audrey Hale, who will start sneaking their guns to their schools and classrooms. Then finally you'll have situations where an active shooter is put down by a teacher. Who will lose their job and career. But that's better to them than just be outright executed while on their knees and having to suffer to watch all their kids get massacred first. The odds of armed security in every public school is not likely to happen. Some states, cities and towns will do it. But not everyone. But that doesn't mean teachers, some subset, will just passively wait to be victims. That's the thing no one talks about - When the government, particularly Team Blue, fails on basic civil order on all levels, then some "surrogate" system will always emerge. And when that happens, the first time when a mostly untrained school teacher gets into a firefight with an active shooter and puts down that shooter, then the gun debate in this country will be entirely over. There will be no more gun grabbing narrative by Team Blue and the DNC that will ever make sense to the working class anymore after that kind of optics in the national daily media cycle. That's what is going to happen.

@League Champion , I consider you the MVP here. I love your posts. I don't always agree with them. But you won't let the haters stop your free speech. I will always have your back.

Lawmakers introduce legislation to massively expand mail-in voting The Vote at Home Act would require all registered voters to be sent mail-in ballots prior to Election Day, guarantee that voters had the option to either vote by mail or vote in person at the polls and enact automatic voter registration for all citizens with driver’s licenses or permits. https://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/536347-lawmakers-introduce-legislation-to-allow-massively-expand-mail-in-voting https://www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Vote at Home Act of 2021.pdf US ELECTION LAWS VIOLATED: 52 USC 10357(e) / Voting more than once 52 USC 10357(c) / False information in registering or voting https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/52/10307 18 USC 597 / Expenditures to influence voting https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/597 Rep.

Representative llhan Omar Facing Backlash For 9/11 Comments | NBC Nightly News Apr 11, 2019 “CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties,” Rep. Omar told the Council on American Islamic Relations. Carney Crunches the Numbers: Ilhan Omar’s grifty and sordid reelection campaign Jul 21, 2020 Ilhan Omar has spent $2.97 million on her reelection this year. If you set aside refunds and transfers, her operating expenditures are $2.59 million. Only five members of Congress have spent more on operating expenditures so far this cycle. Where is all that money going? Much of it is going to her husband. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOMPVSNK4Y4

Omar Declines to Address Alleged Affair with Her Paid Campaign Consultant Sep 18, 2019 In a recent divorce filing, Beth Mynett claimed her husband Tim Mynett had an affair with Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) while her campaign was paying him for political consulting services but Omar refused to address the allegation

Ilhan Omar Cuts Ties With Husband’s Consulting Firm After Nearly $3 Million In Campaign Payments Nov 16, 2020 Omar’s campaign was the largest known client of Tim Mynett’s firm, E Street Group, having paid the firm $2.78 million since July 2019, ... Omar’s financial relationship with the firm first came under considerable scrutiny in August 2019 when both she and Mynett were married to other individuals. Omar’s campaign had disbursed $21,547 to cover travel expenses for E Street Group from April through June 2018. The payments coincided with the alleged start of Omar’s affair with Mynett, according to an FEC complaint filed by the conservative National Legal and Policy Center arguing that the campaign funds were illegally used to further Omar’s romantic affair with the consultant. Omar and Mynett divorced their respective spouses by the end of 2019, all the while denying they were having an affair.

Middle America won't vote for Newsom. Not a chance. Without that, he won't win a general election. Also he needs to split the ticket with a potential VPOTUS who is a minority woman. Who fits that profile? The DNC's thin bench comes up with literally nothing. In leapfrogging Kamala Harris, Newsom would lose a large enough cross section of the black vote to further tank him, and also savage Team Blue down the ticket. Will black voters, overall, turn hard Red? No, that's not feasible nor practical. But you don't need that in total to turn a general election. Even another 15 percent swing would be devastating. Also young voters are simply going to stop voting. (That was a trick that could only be used once, to tease "student loan forgiveness" when it was clear any attempt at such would be illegal by POTUS and impossible to achieve through Congress) That punishes the Democrats more. And, as you mentioned, Newsom is a cheater. So that will punish him with suburban women voters, which was his only real political bread and butter zone to start. Many working class minority voters and the overall military vote will simply abandon anything with "D" next to their name. The only way that Democrats can win POTUS in 2024 is to cheat. And they will likely cheat. If I said that in 2015, there would be outrage and a firestorm of accusations. Now no one says anything. It would literally surprise no one if it happened. If either Biden or Trump or BOTH were assassinated before the 2024 primaries, it would literally surprise no one at this point. Not just here, the entire country as well. At minimum, odds are that the Democrats have lost Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania for 2024. By massive margins? No. But enough to lose those critical electoral votes. They'll cheat, but at this point, even cheating might not be enough. You can only cheat along the edges. You can't cheat to the degree to climb over this mountain of a huge disaster zone that is the current Democratic Party.

That's a pretty interesting point. Thanks for sharing it. It's something I had not considered before. But to assess it now, the end results could have been catastrophic for America. Think about Ovaltine trying to find the next "Mr. Beast" as an influencer to promote them. However, something you might not have considered, is the social context back then would have just ended in a lot of executions. The "Anti-American" rhetoric you hear today that's normalized, and sadly even monetized, would not be tolerated back then. The Five Families in NY were known to just have deviant criminals killed outright. If someone was known to molest children, they were just killed. If there was some kind of deviant who escaped the justice system, they were just killed. The information pathway didn't exist to talk about it then.

Why are Black rappers aligning themselves with the right? .....Ice Cube has joined a long list of rappers who have cuddled up with conservative pundits and politicians....Scrolling through Twitter a couple of weeks ago, I came across a clip of rightwing commentator Tucker Carlson interviewing a face I never thought I’d see on his platform: Ice Cube.....As in F**k Tha Police Ice Cube. “What planet am I on right now?” I found myself thinking.....In a two-part segment, Ice Cube and Carlson commiserated about cancel culture and cast doubt on the safety of the Covid vaccine. “It was six months, kind of a rush job and I didn’t feel safe,” Ice Cube said about his widely-publicized resistance to the Covid shot. He also claimed that he’s been banned from appearing on the talkshows The View and Oprah because he is too much of an “independent thinker”..... .....It seems Ice Cube has become quite the conservative media darling lately, sitting down with not just Carlson, but Joe Rogan and Piers Morgan as well. He’s joining a long list of rappers – Kanye West, Da Baby, Kodak Black, Lil Pump – who have all put themselves in dangerous proximity to conservative politicians even as rightwing populism threatens to destroy their communities. Kanye campaigned for Trump, and both Lil Wayne and Kodak Black publicly supported the former president after being pardoned by him on his last day in office. In 2020, Trump even brought a supportive Lil Pump out to a Michigan rally (where Trump introduced him as “Lil Pimp”), while Da Baby was also very vocal about supporting Trump’s second bid last year....We can try to excuse this behavior or dress it up as “opening a dialogue” or “crossing the aisle” as much as we like, but that is not what this is about. So what do these rappers have in common with rightwingers who wouldn’t otherwise touch them with a 10ft pole? Shared values..... .....In discussions about money, gender identity, public health and a variety of social issues, rappers and rightwingers have a lot more in common than you’d immediately think. Many people from both groups share hypermasculinity, conservative Christian values, and a distrust of social institutions (justified or not); and on this common ground sits a messy and dangerous alliance full of people who ordinarily would hate each other, but have come together to make vulnerable people their enemy.....Ice Cube, for example, is a well-documented anti-vaxxer, and has expressed bigoted views on gender identity, as have many of his colleagues like Da Baby, Boosie and others.....And when it comes down to the raw cents and dollars, modern-day wealth solidarity between mainly Black rappers and powerful conservatives isn’t entirely surprising. Ownership in hip-hop is whiter than ever and the nature of the music itself has become increasingly capitalistic. Rap is no longer the embodiment of African American resistance it once was. Now, it’s a hyper-commercialized cultural assembly line that’s somehow been re-designed to glorify the very issues it once pushed so hard against.... .....That’s why society’s current obsession with Black billionaires and one-percenters as “success stories” constantly falls so flat. The notion of building individual wealth as a means of collective liberation is as sinister as it is stupid. We know that Black wealth hoarding can’t save us and that recreating the violent architecture of capitalism – but with Black people in the positions of power, of course – does nothing for the plight of everyday African Americans. Still, hip-hop legends like Jay-Z continue to peddle this demented lie because that is the very function of capitalism: keep the poorest in society busy providing cheap labor while they chase an impossible dream....Then there’s the pseudo-intellectual bunch, who mask their self-serving motivations as elevated political awareness. Say what you want about Democrats and what they have or haven’t done for Black people in America, but Kanye West campaigning for Trump wasn’t some stroke of genius – it was one of the most self-hating and objectively stupid moves that a person in his position could have made back in 2016. But Kanye’s thirst for relevance, combined with a pathological desire to be contrarian and his new hyper-religious bent, made him the perfect kind of Trump-loving troll.... .....As many rappers gain inordinate wealth and power, they’re increasingly exposed to the ways that all of that can also be a gateway to political influence and social dominance. These men don’t want a better America for Black people, they want one where their worldviews are advanced, regardless of which enemies they have to sleep with in order to make that happen.....And while Black voters obviously don’t owe loyalty to any one political party, some rappers do function as community leaders in many ways, and they always have: that’s why their allegiance to the right needs to be called out now. The custodians of rap as an art form have a duty to be responsible with their platforms. And when I say responsible, I’m not talking about respectability politics and pearl-clutching about raunchy lyrics. I’m talking about the stuff that materially affects Black people’s lived experience, like what kind of politics to adopt, and why.... .....What’s perhaps most fascinating about all this is the fact that many rappers are willing to align themselves with white supremacists not in spite of their marginalization, but because of it. I don’t blame Black people – burned by decades of generational disenfranchisement and then walloped over the head with the illusion of meritocracy – for trying to keep their place at the top no matter who they have to play nice with....But romancing fearmongering xenophobes isn’t keeping us at the top, it’s digging a pitiful hole to the bottom, a new low from which Black people as a community will not recover if we don’t put a stop to it now..... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/aug/10/black-rappers-aligning-right-conservative-ice-cube

‘Dangerous Trend’: Medical Schools Are Ditching Standardized Tests In The Name Of ‘Diversity’ ....Medical schools are continuing to drop Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) requirements in favor of alternative routes available to prospective applicants....Dropping the MCAT in favor of holistic admission practices may negatively impact the medical profession by “eliminating” a “standard for schools to consider when admitting students who demonstrate the aptitude to be good doctors....It’s not adequate because it is subjective, as opposed to standardized tests which are objective metrics....” .....Approximately 40 medical schools across the country have dropped the MCAT, a multiple choice exam that determines an individual’s ability to problem solve, think critically, and understand concepts about medical study, as a requirement for some applying students....dropping the requirement is another way schools aim to bolster diversity on campus but asserted that it is a “dangerous trend...The MCAT has been shown to predict who has the best chance to be successful in medical school.....Eliminating it removes a proven standard for schools to consider when admitting students who demonstrate the aptitude to be good doctors.” The MCAT is developed and administered by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), according to its website. The association has pivoted to encouraging a holistic admission model that considers an applicants “experiences and attributes” ..... and uses it as a factor on its Diversity, Inclusion, Culture and Equity inventory survey sent out to medical schools across the country to weigh their commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) practices.. adding that the AAMC permits race and ethnicity to be used as an admission factor when it aligns with the school’s diversity-based mission and goals. “It’s not adequate because it is subjective, as opposed to standardized tests which are objective metrics.” ...and aims to “increase the number of physicians of African-American, Hispanic and other ethnic backgrounds who have been historically under-represented in the medical profession and whose communities have been historically underserved by primary care practitioners,” according to its website...“People of every race and background are fully capable of becoming world-class physicians. Medical schools should seek out the best candidates who are most likely to provide the best care for patients, regardless of what they look like or where they come from....Anything less jeopardizes the very purpose of these institutions. The medical elite may not want to admit it, but their current approach to achieving diversity has a steep cost, and it’s wrong to ask patients to pay it.” https://dailycaller.com/2023/04/22/dangerous-trend-medical-schools-are-ditching-standardized-tests-in-the-name-of-diversity/
