Edward Durr is a blue-collar truck driver for a furniture store in South New Jersey.  In an incredible David v Goliath political upheaval, Durr decided to run for office against the most powerful Democrat in the New Jersey Senate, and it looks like Edward Durr is going to win.  {Direct Rumble Link}

New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney was a likely candidate to become the Democrat candidate for governor in New Jersey, as he has deep political connections and decades inside the Garden State political machine.  However, Edward Durr was fed up with the ridiculous COVID dictates from the governor’s office, and the non-response from any political office to push back against the nonsense.  So, he decided to take a stand.

Specifically, because he knew his neighborhood was frustrated with the politics of COVID and the manipulative rules, Edward Durr decided the district needed another option and ran against Sweeney for the State Senate seat.  Mr. Durr has stunned the political establishment with a genuine grassroots campaign that has likely defeated the second most powerful office holder in New Jersey.  WATCH:

(Via Politico) “I kept telling myself and telling people I was going to do it, but in the back of my mind I was like, ‘You know, how am I going to beat the Senate president?” said Durr, who ran unsuccessfully for Assembly in 2019 and has never held elected office.

But Durr said that as he sat in his living room with his family Tuesday night as the results rolled in, it dawned on him that there was a decent chance he‘d soon be a member of the state Senate.  “My daughter was sitting next to me. She laughed at me and said ‘Dad, you’ve got tears running down my face,” Durr said Wednesday morning.

Durr, a 58-year-old father of three and grandfather of six who grew up in South Jersey and lives in Logan Township, estimates he spent less than $10,000 on the race. By contrast, in 2017, when the New Jersey Education Association, state’s largest teachers union, was feuding with Sweeney, it spent about $5.4 million to take him out, yet he still won by 18 points.

Before getting to a seriously deranged propaganda commercial presented by Pfizer, let me first outline some context.

Modern Democrats and leftists -writ large- celebrate childless families.  Modern Democrats advocate for not having children and enjoying the freedom that comes from a childless life.

Democrats promote abortion even at the last moments before natural birth (ie. #ShoutYourAbortion), and consider children to be “anchors” (Obama’s term) that stop people from enjoying a productive life focused on professional advancement.

Everything in the expressed policies of the modern Democrats is about not having children or becoming parents.  Sure they talk about children, but only from the perspective of political benefit.  Children are a point of advocacy for them; yet most influential modern leftists do not have children.

Democrats and leftists also claim not having children is the most environmentally responsible conduct.  They intentionally erode the institution of marriage, and inside their policies they advocate for the government to replace two parent households.  Single parenting is supported by funding and direct subsidy; and the ability to be disconnected from direct childcare and parental responsibility is part of their platform.  The state replaces the role of parent.

As a direct result, an entire generation of brainwashed twenty-somethings have no desire to have children.  Additionally, as a natural outcome of this generational approach, the children that do exist within society are overwhelmingly from parents who are not in alignment with mainstream leftism.

During a press conference this afternoon, to promote vaccines for children 5 to 11 years-old, Fox News journalist Peter Ducey asked Joe Biden about the DOJ settlement agreement with ACLU and immigration lawyers to pay illegal aliens $450,000 per person as compensation for their pain and suffering. {Go Deep}

You need to watch Joe Biden’s response carefully, because what he said should alarm everyone.

Within the response which includes “that’s not going to happen“, it is clear that Joe Biden has absolutely NO IDEA what the journalist was talking about.  From the position of Joe Biden, the Fox reporter was speaking ‘fake news’.   WATCH:

The headline from this response should not be Joe Biden saying “that’s not going to happen“; the screaming alarm bell headline should be: President Biden Has No Idea DOJ, DHS and HHS Entered Settlement with Immigration Lawyers to Pay $450,000 Per Person.

The bigger issue is not paying the illegal aliens a settlement, the bigger issue is Joe Biden having no idea about it.

This showcases a puppet president who has no idea what is going on around him.  This isn’t an issue of not knowing something that was in a congressional bill, or not knowing details of a Dept of Labor ruling.  This is the Joe Biden Executive Branch operating unilaterally without involving Joe Biden.

The President of the United States doesn’t know about what is going on in his own administration, because the office of the presidency is an irrelevant agency to the people who are operating behind the curtain.  THAT is what Joe Biden’s response highlighted.

Earlier today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis delivered remarks in West Palm.   During his speech he outlined a legislative package he will be presenting to the Florida legislature to bolster the state’s election integrity measures.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced a new legislative proposal to further strengthen Florida’s election integrity. This proposed legislation will be addressed in the upcoming 2022 Legislative Session, which begins in January.

“We are excited to say that next legislative session we are proposing another package of election integrity reforms that will make Florida the number one state for elections,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “I am excited that with this legislation, our state will be able to enforce election violations, combat voter fraud and make sure violators are held accountable. If potential violators know they will be held accountable, they will be much less likely to engage in improper conduct in the first place.”

The problem with modern Democrats is that they believe in what they are doing….

There’s a lot of celebration on the side of the everyday commonsense electorate, as voters last night in the November off-year election have rebuked their policies in almost every municipal election held.  However, do not fool yourself into believing the election outcome will cause Democrats to pause in their efforts.  The radical leftists who now control Democrat policy priorities do not have any inclination to reverse course; instead they will double down.

The need for control is a reaction to fear.  Anger is a very visible response from the leftists whenever their policies are rejected.  The modern political left do not view rejection as a rebuke of their ideology, instead they view rejection as a need to push harder.  From their perspective they need to reeducate their target; to force a change in thinking from incorrect thoughts to correct thoughts; and the only acceptable path is to push harder.

This approach is based on a cognitive inability to reflect or contemplate that their ideology is flawed.  Because they put the emotion of their views as the motive for their effort, they are incapable of changing direction.  From the perspective of the modern political left, if they were to change direction, they would be rejecting the foundation of their own personal value.  They cannot do that.  It’s not them that are wrong -ever- it’s you.

Those who do not adhere to the insane ideological goals of the far left, are viewed as the problem that must be overcome.  Their emotional attachment to ideology is why these avowed and ideological followers cannot be redeemed or coerced into reasonable positions with any logical argument.  Instead, you must be re-educated to see their worth, to value their ideology… you, the person or group who stands in their way, will always be viewed as the problem.

Okay, this is funny. While speaking to an audience in West Palm on Wednesday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis referred to the Biden Administration as the “Brandon Administration.” Immediately the crowd erupted and the chant began “Let’s go Brandon.” WATCH:

While leftist Democrats continue clinging to the crazy, Florida gets more red every day.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

DC is shook….

As 1:00am arrives, the Republican candidate for Governor Glenn Youngkin has won a massive victory for the people of Virginia.

Additionally, Republican candidate Winsome Sears has won as Lieutenant Governor becoming the first black woman to win a state-wide race; and Republican Jason Miyares appears to have won his race for Attorney General.  The Virginia House of Delegates is still a toss-up, with a very good possibility to flip to Republican control.

Center for Disease Control (CDC) Director Rochelle P. Walensky has given the authorization for vaccinations to begin in 5 to 11-year-olds starting tomorrow.  You can review the CDC press release HERE.   According to the CDC announcement, Walensky states: “We know millions of parents are eager to get their children vaccinated and with this decision, we now have recommended that about 28 million children receive a COVID-19 vaccine.”

Unfortunately, the CDC authorization now gives cover to various blue state democrats who will likely mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for public school children. However, despite the CDC position, it is worth noting the recent survey by NBC showing only 27% of parents would vaccinate their kids under 12:

… 64% of people with children under age 11 say they would not vaccinate their kids or would wait to see more data on long term consequences. Only 27% of respondents said they would immediately vaccinate their children with the untested COVID vaccine. (more)

It is very reasonable for parents to question the FDA approval and the political intents of the CDC in authorizing this vaccination for children 3 to 11.   The risk to children from the virus itself is virtually nonexistent.  However, despite the low risk the government is recommending, perhaps soon to be mandating, a little tested vaccine for a population that is not at any significant level of health risk.

If the Virginia election result teaches the Biden administration that protecting kids is important to parents on the issue of education…. they haven’t seen anything yet, when it comes to the response from parents to vaccinating kids with an untested vaccine. Madness.
