Optics and the mid-tern election

[and yes, that's Janet Leigh in Psycho]
For
progressives, the looming midterm elections apparently should not hinge on a
booming economy, a near-record-low unemployment rate, a strong stock market and
unprecedented energy production. Instead, progressives hope that race and
gender questions overshadow pocketbook issues.
. .
.
The new caravan appears strangely
well organized. The marchers, many of them young men, do not appear destitute.
They do not seem to fit the profile of desperate refugees whose lives were in
immediate danger in their homeland.
For many Americans, the would-be
refugees may seem presumptuous in assuming that they have the right to barge
into someone else’s country. Most Americans realize that if an organized
caravan of foreigners can simply announce in advance plans to crash into the
U.S. illegally, then the concepts of a border, citizenship, sovereignty or even
a country itself no longer exist.
Then he considers the feeding frenzy around the Senate
hearings for Judge Brett Kavanaugh:
Many Americans finally concluded
that there was no reason to deny Kavanaugh’s nomination to the court. To find
Kavanaugh guilty of Ford’s charges, Americans were asked to suspend the very
ideas of due process and Western jurisprudence.
The furious demonstrations that
followed Kavanaugh’s confirmation only made the optics worse.
Every
country requires a border and the rule of law. Due process cannot so easily be
thrown out in a moment. There can be no Senate without safety and calm inside
its halls. Powerful, privileged Washington officials should be the last to game
a system designed to help the underprivileged.
Many are speculating that yesterday’s pipe bomb scares were yet
another stunt - even a false flag hoax -- to change the subject, stifle reasoned debate, blame President Trump, and prompt another round of media hysteria. DC Whispers asks:
Who
would send out these fake bombs and why? Who might have anything political to
gain two weeks out from the Midterm Elections by staging a fake bomb hoax
against noted Democrat politicians that then generates Establishment Media
hysteria?
Already the bomb reports has shoved the caravan story to the
sidelines, at least for now. At any rate, the
Progressives have overplayed their hand. I just hope independent and liberal
voters see that.

Preparing to vote / judicial candidates
With just over 2 weeks to go before the Nov 6 election, time
to prepare to vote. You can find your sample ballot for Cuyahoga County here. You should have
your Cuyahoga County voter registration postcard at hand with your precinct details.
(For Lake County voters, go here. For Geauga County voters, go here.)
Most of the candidate lists with recommendations are focused
on the top of the ticket races. But I’ve been researching judicial candidates
and found some ratings, endorsements, and report cards. One source was the <Judge4yourself> website,
which collects ratings from the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Associationm the Cuyahoga
Criminal Defense Lawyer's Association, the Norman S. Minor Bar Association, and
the Ohio Women’s Bar Association.
But it also specifies which candidates receive an endorsement
from the Editorial Board of the PD / cleveland.com. Since there will be some Tea Party readers who would not
consider a cleveland.com endorsement as a positive, I searched
further.
The <Ohio.ivoteconservative> website represents the
collective recommendations of its signatories, many of which Tea Party members will recognize.
If you visit their home page and fill in three boxes of info, you will get a list of recommended
candidates who will appear on your ballot. It prints out on one page, so you
can take it with you when you go to vote. Below is the list of recommended judicial
candidates in a downtown Cleveland precinct (if you vote elsewhere, including in another county, you’ll
want to go the website and enter your details to get your list of
recommended candidates.):
Oh Supreme Court (1/1/19)
Craig Baldwin
Oh Supreme Court (1/2/19)

We Tea Party people
photo credit: historynewsnetwork.org
The unhyphenated American Lloyd Marcus posts at American Thinker. Here’s the last two
paragraphs of his article titled “Not Guilty: The Tea Party and Violence”:
We Tea Party people never beat up
our opposition. Desiring the best for all our fellow Americans, we reach out to
Democrats/leftists trying to educate them. Democrats/leftists have become
super-hostile to facts and truth. They now seek to silence, punish and jail
anyone daring to disagree with their agenda. Tea Party people are the opposite.
We highly respect our constitutional right of free speech. So don't tell me
that Tea Party people are just as guilty of incivility as Democrats/leftists.
That is a lie.
Trump's swift dismantlement of
Obama's anti-America agenda and successfully placing another conservative on
the Supreme Court has caused Democrats and the fake news media to suspend any
pretense of civility, honesty, and respect for the law. The Democratic Party
has morphed into an angry insane mob. Their enforcers, joined by fake news
media, are determined to beat the American people into submission. The
Democrats' Trump resistance mob bears no resemblance to the Tea Party which is
dignified, patriotic, and good. The Democratic Party has become the home of
pure evil and must never be allowed back into power, controlling the house,
senate or White House.
It’s a good article to keep in mind as we head into
November. The entire article is here.
