Election Turns On Five Questions, Such as Marxism
By Conrad Black, Special to the Sun |
The presidential election result is now down to five questions.
Story continues below advertisement
Can the President override the Democratic press’s thunderous campaign to terrorize the country over the coronavirus?
Can the president successfully connect Vice President Biden’s campaign to the hooligans, anti-white racists, and urban guerrillas who effectively are being encouraged by the corrupt Democratic mayors of many of the nation’s largest cities?
Will the economic recovery and the decline in the unemployment generated by the COVID-19 shutdown continue at its recent pace and strengthen the economy as a pro-Trump electoral argument?
Will the Republicans make adequately clear to the country the authoritarian and Marxist implications of the Biden-Sanders unity document?
Will special counsel John Durham indict senior members of the Obama Administration over their handling of the spurious allegation of collusion between Donald Trump and the Russian government in the 2016 election and Justice Department violations of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), and how will Mr. Biden himself come through it?
Apart from the Durham question, the president has it in his power to produce answers favorable to himself on the other four questions.
He has a defensible record in his handling of COVID-19, was prescient in restricting direct air travel from China and Europe to the United States (which the Democrats opposed), and cooperated even with governors who had been extremely antagonistic prior to the pandemic. He sought and accepted the guidance of leading epidemiologists in taking drastic measures to “flatten the curve,” and he showed evident executive ability in quickly developing world-leading coronavirus testing capacity and supplying essential equipment throughout the country.
Mr. Trump has been represented as cavalier about the virus itself — a perception problem that has arisen due to his efficient response and move to reopen the economy more quickly than the Democrats, who had hoped that they could prolong the shutdown until the election in order to blame the president for the resulting economic depression.
The president effectively declared victory and sponsored a back-to-work movement and the Democrats have responded by using their iron-fisted control of the national political press to portray the President as cruel and incompetent, while they espouse a completely fatuous policy of indefinite lockdown, colossal emergency income substitution from the treasury, mass testing and tracing of everyone that has been in recent contact with those who test positive and badgering them to self-quarantine.
It is absurd. The President moved on Tuesday to counter this campaign in his first coronavirus press meeting for many weeks. He was businesslike and effective. What is needed is a full-scale public relations campaign including news film of the president at key distribution sites and medical centers. Excessive staging and histrionics must be avoided, and the reduction in fatality rates, improvement in techniques for protecting the immunity-challenged, and administration of therapeutics should all be emphasized — it being understood that 90% of the national political press will go to extraordinary lengths to deny the president credit for anything. At some point, there should be a backlash in the President’s favor to this heavy press bias.
Urban violence, defunding police, and the balance between curbing police mistreatment of African Americans and doing everything reasonably responsible to discourage and punish crime, have now become a great chicken game.
The president has already begun to taint the Democratic Party by identification with notoriously corrupt and incompetent Democratic civic political machines. The Democrats have governed in Chicago for 89 years. Their ethics and competence have been in decline for decades and latterly in freefall, and the present mayor, Lori Lightfoot, is a racist and a seeming idiot. The Jussie Smollett case was a vivid depiction of the venality of the Chicago Democrats; they are so rotten it is a wonder that the roofs are still on the public buildings.
In New York City, the surrealistically inept mayor, Bill de Blasio, has squandered almost everything his distinguished predecessors Rudolph Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg accomplished. Eric Garcetti in Los Angeles, Ted Wheeler in Portland, and Jenny Durkan in Seattle are all hopeless and the last two, as well as Mayor Lightfoot of Chicago, effectively have sided with rioters and arsonists against their own police departments.
Parts of Chicago and New York are just 360-degree shooting galleries as the demoralized and defunded police essentially have given up, and murder rates have skyrocketed. The president will have to judge when it is better to exercise his constitutional duty to defend federal government property and ensure the enforcement of the nation’s laws than it is to allow the sanguinary spectacle of the disintegration of municipal government in some of the nations great cities to illuminate the depths of Democratic urban decay and hypocrisy.
As the country awaits the president’s timing in these matters, there is no reason to doubt that unemployment will continue to descend quickly. A huge amount of new demand has been injected into the system by relief measures and people prefer employment to unemployment, a preference further economic assistance measures should encourage.
The Democratic pantomime of posing as the chief enemies of the coronavirus rather than its political beneficiary, and as the authors of emergency job or replacement schemes more remunerative than work itself cannot last much longer.
There is no need until after Labor Day to paint too vividly the implications of the “progressive” unity agreement between presumptive Democratic nominee Biden and Vermont socialist Bernie Sanders. It should be a strong argument in September and October, especially the intended elimination of the oil, gas, and coal industries and their 7 million jobs, the destruction of the southern border wall the president has been building, the reopening of the United States to unlimited illegal entry, the enactment of a substantial part of Senator Elizabeth Warren’s infamous $52 trillion healthcare plan, sharp income tax increases and likely a wealth tax.
Important to note, too, is their intentional strangling of the American ethos of self-advancement through hard work and merit as well as their push for the destruction of independent schools in order to reinforce the monopoly of the strictly Democratic teachers’ unions. The hope of these Democrats is to impose more of the slothful philistinism and the largely anti-American current spirit of American schools and universities. Lazy and unpatriotic Americans tend to look toward Democrats for salvation.
Joe Biden is an implausible candidate; the Democratic Party has disgraced itself by its reliance on pestilence and racist mobs, and its platform consists of exploitation of public COVID-19 hysteria, the creation of lawless urban chaos while blaming it on Mr. Trump, a Marxist economic redistribution, and the embrace of unlimited undocumented immigration.
A Democratic Party victory would cripple the free market, strangle the American tradition of earned upward mobility, buy votes with unprecedented cynicism and extravagance, and entrench a regime of socialist wealth redistribution which has never attracted significant public support anywhere in the United States.
Only the dementia of fanatical Trump-haters and the almost airtight political bigotry of the national political media have permitted this levitation to continue as long as it has. It will not make it to Election Day.

Ivanka really needs to pack up her husband and kiddies and go away! She needs to stop pretending to be something she is not. Hang out with Mooch, Anthony Scaramucci who was another Javanka hire for WH Communications Director. All I can say is thank God he flamed out quickly and only lasted ten days due to his disgusting mouth and now he supports Biden and trashes Trump. Javanka managed to get rid of Trump’s inner circle, Bannon etc and only Steven Miller remains. I’m not always sure about Kelly Conway….They are flaming liberal airheads riding Trump’s coat tails and they have nothing but distain for Trump supporters. She just had to get in some face time…at Daddy’s expense.

I most of the time gather nearly 6,000 to 8,000 bucks almost every 1 month on the net. It is indeed ideal to undoubtedly replace my old workplace earnings, precisely thinking of I actually work almost 20 hour a week from a home office. I have obviate my job after doing work under same organisation for several months, I wanted quite reliable money. I was not analyzing for any generate income programs that promises to make you rich in just few days that you find all over the internet. Probably the most thrilling part of doing job online is that I’m always home with all the kids and also enjoy a lot free time along with my loved ones on many beautiful shores of the attractive nations. Honestly,it is simpler than you would believe, all you have to do is submit a very simple form to get front line access to the Home Profit System. The instructions come in very straightforward language, you dont have to be a computer guru, however you ought to possess skills to use internet. It is as simple as being on Instagram. Here’s the easiest way to start >>> http://meetme.run/Vzaw4

In my world any RINO would be ousted from politics as they are traitors to the party, president and country.

Every question surrounding this upcoming election can be encapsulated and answered by the Durham investigation getting to the bottom of the Russian collusion farce and issuing the relevant indictments.
All else is secondary.

Not a bad list. But MAIL-IN BALLOTS and voter fraud should be at the Top of the list !!!
And…. # 5 is a non-starter. If anybody believes Durham will do ANYTHING…… I have a Bridge to sell you in the Arizona desert.

The actual five key questions:
Will Trump be held accountable for his
disastrous mishandling of the coronavirus epidemic?
Will Trump and the Republicans be held
accountable for their consolidating the Republican Party as a White Nationalist
Party based on an ideology of paranoia, racism, nativism, and xenophobia?
Will the economy continue to be run, as Trump
has run it, of the rich, by the rich, for the rich, and for the personal profit of the Trump Gang?
Will Trump and his Gang be held accountable for
their corruption of the Government and their ongoing assault on the
Constitution and Constitutional norms of government?
Will Trump and his gang be held accountable for
his pathological dishonesty and a campaign of defamation against his ‘enemies’
that Joseph McCarthy would have been proud of?
