Left of Left Spanberger signs law to render Virginia's votes 'null and void'

Bringing the United States perilously close to dismantling its constitutional foundation, leftist Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has signed HB965 into law, officially entering the Commonwealth into the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The decision has sparked immediate outrage across the state, as critics realize the measure effectively renders the individual votes of Virginians “null and void.”

By signing this compact, Spanberger has agreed to hand Virginia’s 13 electoral votes to whichever presidential ticket wins the national popular vote, regardless of how the people of Virginia actually cast their ballots. [Unsurprisingly, the popular vote tends to side with the Democrats a majority of the time, but President Trump won it for the first time since 2004 when George W. Bush won it.]

With Virginia’s entry, the movement is now a terrifying 48 electoral votes away from taking effect. The current total stands at 222 votes, or 82 percent of the way to the 270-vote threshold required to fundamentally upend American elections.

It is no coincidence that the states rushing to bypass the Constitution represent a monolithic partisan bloc. To date, every single state that has joined the compact is a blue state, moving the country toward a system where a few deep-blue urban centers could dictate the presidency for the entire Union. The list of members includes Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois, Hawaii, Washington, Massachusetts, District of Columbia, Vermont, California, Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, New Mexico, Oregon, Colorado, Minnesota, Maine, and now Virginia.This partisan rush to ignore state boundaries flies in the face of Alexander Hamilton’s warnings in Federalist No. 68. Hamilton cautioned that the Electoral College was not a mere suggestion, but an “excellent” system designed to protect the Republic from the very “tumult and disorder” that a direct popular vote invites.

The Founders were explicitly wary of a direct popular vote, fearing it would allow a “demagogue” with “talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity” to manipulate the masses. Hamilton argued that the presidency should not be a prize for the most famous or the most populist, but should be determined by an intermediate body of electors, men “most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated investigations.”

By moving toward a national popular vote, Spanberger and the NPVIC proponents are discarding what Hamilton called a “judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements” proper for selecting a leader. Instead of a deliberative process, the nation is being pushed toward a system where candidates will focus exclusively on high-population urban centers like New York City or Los Angeles, leaving rural and small-state voters entirely ignored. This would mean an end to a republic form of governor. 

Hamilton was particularly concerned with the potential for national chaos during an election. He argued that by having electors meet in their respective states, their “detached and divided situation” would protect the process from “heats and ferments” that might otherwise “convulse the community with any extraordinary or violent movements.”

A national popular vote does the exact opposite. It removes the firewall provided by state lines. In a popular vote system, a dispute in a single precinct could trigger a 50-state national recount, creating the very “tumult” Hamilton sought to avoid. The Electoral College, by contrast, provides “effectual security against this mischief” by containing election disputes within individual states. 

A simple analogy regarding this kind of 'democracy' is: if there are 3 lions and one sheep voting on 'what's for dinner' grass or meat, guess who would win.

Perhaps most frightening is how this move weakens the nation’s defenses against foreign influence. Hamilton noted that the Electoral College was designed to oppose “cabal, intrigue, and corruption,” which he called the “most deadly adversaries of republican government.” He believed that a national popular vote would make it easier for “foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils” by raising a “creature of their own” to the presidency. The Founders’ system ensured that the Executive was “independent for his continuance in office on all but the people themselves.” With Virginia becoming the latest blue state to join this compact, the “moral certainty” Hamilton promised, that the office would fall only to those “endowed with the requisite qualifications,” is under direct threat.

If 48 more electoral votes are secured, the system that has guided the nation for over two centuries will be sacrificed at the altar of political expediency.

Wake Up Europe: mother and her 2-year-old die in car-ramming jihad in Munich

A two-year-old girl and her mother have died after a car was rammed into a group of people in Munich, Germany on Thursday.

The mother, 37, was from Munich. She and her daughter are the first reported deaths from the jihad attack police confirmed.

At least 36 others were injured that Thursday morning when the car plowed into a crowd of bystanders taking part in a trade union demonstration.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz uselessly urged Germans to "stand together" as he laid flowers at the scene on Saturday.

Scholz said: "We all have to stand together now, make sure that our country sticks together and that the very values that united those who peacefully organized a rally here and held a march are united with those who helped here, namely that we are together as human beings."

A 24-year-old Afghan Muslim known as Farhad N [because they don't give his last name to avoid putting him in any danger] was detained at the scene. 

The suspect, a rejected asylum-seeker, has lived in Munich since he arrived as an unaccompanied minor in 2016. Although his asylum application was rejected, he lived in Germany legally with a residence permit and had no previous convictions because he was evidently "laying low" waiting for the opportunity to commit jihad.

He is being investigated for 36 counts of attempted murder, as well as bodily harm and dangerous interference with road traffic.

Prosecutors said he appeared to have had an Islamic extremist motive, though there was no evidence he was connected to any radical network. But since when does a jihadi need to be 'connected to a radical network' when jihad itself is radical and has been since Mohammed was beheading Jews for refusing to convert?

The attack got people to remove their heads from their nether regions as it fueled more debate in Germany about migration. It has finally become a top concern among voters as they head to the polls next week to elect a new government. It's possible Germany may end up "doing a Trump" when they vote.

It sent shockwaves through the southern German city just hours before international leaders touched down for the annual Munich Security Conference.

A judge on Friday ordered that the suspect remain in custody pending a possible charge.

Chancellor Scholz said: "It must always be very clear - anyone who does something like that must expect the harshest penalties."

He added: "And of course, if he has no right of stay, he will also have to leave the country at the end of his sentence."

Let's see.

Arizona county approves hand count of all ballots: Dems freak out

In Cochise County, Arizona a panel of county supervisors voted along party lines to order a manual hand count of all ballots after the voting is concluded. It isn't hard to guess which party voted for a hand count and which voted against it, but I'm going to tell you anyway. The 2 Republicans voted for the hand count because it's accurate, albeit slow, and the lone Democrat voted against it because it's accurate.

While there was two different versions of the plan, the measure passed. Concerns over the potential liability of the supervisors in probable lawsuits challenging the recount process were raised, but the one thing missing from the objections was why would anyone be against having a verifiable second count of ballots to ensure accuracy and reliability of the voting machines, unless they didn't want the voting machines results challenged.

The meeting was chaotic but the plan got passed as Cochise County Supervisors Peggy Judd and Thomas Crosby voted for the it. Ann English, a Democrat, voted against both proposals, but the measure got passed in spite of that.

“I implore you not to attempt to order this separate hand-count,” said County Attorney Brian McIntyre, a Republican. He said such action would be unlawful and supervisors could be held personally liable in a civil action.

These types of questions are coming up all around the country. Worry over the accuracy of the count in the 2020 election and doubts about the integrity of some of the voting machine systems that are commonly utilized seem to be driving a push toward older, low-tech methods of tallying the ballots of voters because they are harder to beat.

And wherever voting machines are used – particularly touchscreen machines that may or may not produce a paper record – better and more reliable methods of conducting recounts are being sought.

So Cochise County may be a sign of a larger trend as 2024 looms near. People are distrustful of voting machines.

 Assuming the human election monitors who check and count the ballots are doing so accurately with representatives from both parties supervising the work, what basis would anyone have for suing the county supervisors? And even more to the point, who would object to a hand count in the first place? Wouldn’t that be the only and most obvious way to ensure the accuracy of the totals?

Well perhaps that is exactly the problem the Democrats have with this plan.

The Taliban bans Afghan elections: big surprise? Not!

Taliban member gives the "Let's Go Brandon" hand-sign behind Bilal Karimi

When we left Afghanistan and the allies that our alleged President Biden promised to evacuate, it was obvious the Taliban was going to rule with an iron fist, kill dissenters, and make everyone give up their freedom. It's no surprise, except to the naive and Joe Biden, who is surprised when he wakes up in the morning and finds out that he's the President.

Now that we're gone, the Taliban-run government has dissolved two Afghan election commissions because when you're a conqueror, you don't need the people's permission as to who is going to run things. They also dissolved the state ministries for peace and parliamentarian affairs. 

Bilal Karimi, deputy spokesman for Afghanistan’s Taliban-run government, said the country’s Independent Election Commission and Electoral Complaint Commission have been dissolved [along with fair and honest elections, and all women's rights].

Karimi called them “unnecessary institutes for the current situation in Afghanistan,” which is a government run by terrorists who would just as quickly light you on fire and watch you burn, than have a say in their government. 

He said if there is a need for the commissions in the future, the Taliban government can revive them, a claim as legitimate as the Taliban claim that women will have a say in their government and can even go to school if they wish. 

After it was obvious the women of Afghanistan would be granted nothing but pots and pans to cook with, brooms and mops to sweep with, and babies to give birth to, feminist organizations and individuals across America and Canada rose up as one voice and demanded something be done by both governments to help women. Progressive Democratic women of the so-called squad clamored for justice for the Afghan women.

Just kidding. They did nothing but call White men racists and complain about women's rights while they wore pink "pussy hats" and believed they made a difference in the world with their virtue-signaling.

The international community, except for feminists, is waiting before extending formal recognition to Afghanistan’s new ruling terrorists. They are wary the Taliban could impose a similarly harsh, deadly regime as when they were in power 20 years ago — despite their assurances [aka lies] to the contrary.

Both elections commissions were mandated to administer and supervise all types of elections in the country, including presidential, parliamentary and provincial council elections. Now the Taliban will chose who will be in power using the "pointer finger method."  

This makes as much sense as a brain addled old man promising if he gets the presidential nomination, he will choose a Black woman as his running mate [whether or not she knows the difference between her elbow and her nether regions]. 

Karimi said the Taliban also dissolved the Ministry for Peace and the Ministry of Parliamentarian Affairs. He said they were unnecessary ministries in the government’s current structure but like Orwell's doublespeak in his dystopian novel "1984," peace means war, and baby, that's ungood.

The Taliban had previously shut down the former Women’s Affairs Ministry and then treated women as cattle and sex objects to "have their fields plowed." And by "fields," the Taliban mean coitus.

Many GOP Senators don't want Trump to announce a 2024 run

It looks like former President Trump is planning to run for a second term. He hasn't come out and said it, but the hinting he throws out there strongly implies that he's a go for 2024. But in spite of his electoral win and therefore his win over the execrable Hillary Clinton, most Senate Republicans hope he chooses not to run. They especially don't want Trump to announce a run before the 2022 midterm elections because they worry that it will destroy their hopes of winning back the Senate.

As much as the nation enjoyed a strong economy, no new wars, a reduction in regulations and taxation, the one thing Donald Trump brings to the table is a boat load of Democrats who will not sit out the next election and will also show up for the midterms in droves. Trump's track record with independent and swing voters is a problem and the GOP Senate knows this.

A few Republican senators who didn't want to be identified, said they don't want Trump being the party's standard bearer.

“I think we’re better off when he’s not part of any story,” a Republican senator revealed, who said his view is widely shared in the GOP conference.

“He’s a clinical narcissist. He threw away the election in the debate with Biden and he threw away the Senate out of spite,” the senator added, referring to the first Trump-Biden debate. Many GOPers saw that debate as a total disaster along with Republican voter turnout in the Georgia special election.

The one thing we know is that a Trump run announcement will get a lot of Democratic asses off the sofas and out to the polling stations.

“The 2022 election ought to be about the Biden administration and its rolling disasters so anything that would detract from the public being focused on what Democratic governance is doing to this country would be ill-advised,” said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), a Trump ally, when he was asked to comment on a possible Trump announcement in the next year.

You cannot argue with that point. Biden's incompetency should be the main focus and Trump needs to wait until the smoke has cleared before taking center stage.

Some people believe that if Trump ran against Biden, the Left's hatred of the former president would be insurmountable for him to overcome and the Democrats would continue their hard move to the left.

But if Trump does run again, I hope he waits and I hope he wins. I just don't feel confident in either scenario.

France elects Le Pen's party due to security and immigration concerns

Brussels -- (Reuters) The exit polls have shown that Marine Le Pen has beaten French President Macron as it is becoming obvious that freedom parties are gaining in European Union elections. Le Pen's far-right party squeezed past the Macron alliance as French voters led what the pollsters believed would be a nationalist surge in an EU parliament election on Sunday.

Macron's defeat was narrow with a huge voter turnout that was seen all over Europe and is being portrayed by Brussels as a positive sign. However, there were serious gains for anti-EU groups, so Brussels may be "doing a Jerry Nadler," and trying to put a positive spin on the trouble they're having convincing voters that it's a good thing to be governed by un-elected foreigners.

Le Pen’s National Rally would get just one more seat than Macron’s En Marche, with 24 of France’s 74 in the European Parliament, according to the exit poll.

It will be interesting to watch how Le Pen will govern. She is considered by some to be

The election, like those across Europe, was a referendum on security and immigration issues, much like we're seeing here in the United States.

Macron’s office immediately put out a statement calling the performance — 22.5% for En Marche against 24.3% for the party of the woman he beat to the presidency — disappointing but no disaster. And it noted that pro-EU parties were in the majority.

The French Greens also did well, coming in third in a crowded field.

Broward County election official Snipes screws up her resignation

FLORIDA -- Broward County's supervisor of elections, Brenda Snipes, has"withdrawn her resignation" after Florida Gov. Rick Scott threatened to cut off her huge pension,  the Hill reports.

Snipes, one of the most incompetent election officials ever to receive a paycheck, and who presided over a totally embarrassing vote recount effort in Broward County following the 2018 midterm elections, told reporters on Saturday, through her attorney, that she refuses to be shamed by Scott and would not simply leave office quietly.

She definitely should not be shamed by Scott. She should be ashamed of her inability to do a job she was handsomely paid to do, and failed miserably.

"Dr. Snipes hereby rescinds her resignation,” attorney Burnadette Norris-Weeks told media. She added that the governor's efforts to remove the useless Snipes from office before January were nothing more than an attempt to "tarnish [Snipes’s] record.”

Snipes' record is tarnished every day she gets out of bed.

Snipes will be “fighting this to the very end,” Norris-Weeks warned. 

And if she fights this as well as she supervises elections procedures, she's in deep trouble.

Snipes officially resigned her position after the Broward Country vote recount was completed, and after days of screwups and missteps whereby Broward lagged far behind neighboring counties in handling ballot issues.

Her team, at one point, lost more than 2,000 ballots, with just hours remaining until the election results had to be certified. 

She would have remained in office until January, and would have been eligible for a $170,000 state pension, but elections got in her way.

Late last week Governor Rick Scott announced that Snipes needed to go, and he officially removed her from office, appointing a Republican supervisor of elections to take over immediately.

"Every eligible voter in Florida deserves their vote to be counted and should have confidence in Florida’s elections process," Scott said in a statement about his actions last week.

"After a series of inexcusable actions, it’s clear that there needs to be an immediate change in Broward County and taxpayers should no longer be burdened by paying a salary for a Supervisor of Elections who has already announced resignation,” the Governor added.

That turned out to be a bad deal for Snipes and she is refusing to leave office unless she is removed by the state of Florida. Her current term isn't scheduled to end until the 2020 election year.

In a separate statement at a press conference held Saturday, Snipes accused Scott of being "vindictive" -- in spite of the fact that Scott ultimately won the recount in Broward county and has nothing for which to be "vindictive." He will serve as Florida's junior Senator and has pledged to seek out transparency.

Snipes needs to go but I doubt she can even find the correct exit.

Mexican presidential candidate wants Mexicans to leave for U.S.--then who will vote for him?

Not George Soros

Mexican presidential candidate and drug cartel amnesty advocator, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) wants to inundate the United States with Mexicans who are tired of their country. AMLO claims it to be a "human right" for all North Americans to live wherever the hell they want.

"And soon, very soon--after the victory of our movement--we will defend all the migrants in the American continent and all the migrants in the world," AMLO said. He added that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life in the United States."

Those who would leave Mexico have little interest in Mexican politics and are not likely to vote for AMLO, so he wants them gone. Those who would come to the United States, want a government that accepts illegal people into the country without regard of their history, so they would vote Democratic.

A perfect fit for the misfits that run our government.

Obrador, 64, is the former mayor of Mexico City and holds progressive populist views, making him an attractive addition to a country run by drug cartels.

In April, AMLO [sounds like a pyramid scheme] delivered a speech criticizing President Trump and promising that Mexico will never become a "piñata" for any foreign government, particularly the U.S.

One thing AMLO proves is how much his people want to leave en masse to live on the dole paid for by U.S.  taxpayers. He is by far the frontrunner in the July 1st election so don't be surprised if you see President Trump butting heads with him when he tries to inundate the country with Mexicans and Central Americans with low skills and hands out at the ready.

Czech Trump clone wins huge!

The Czech Republic has a new parliamentary winner, and if he spoke English, uses the words 'tremendous' 'fantastic' and 'very, very,' a lot, you might think he was President Trump instead of populist Andrej Babis.

Like Trump, Babis. 63, is a business tycoon and a political populist. His Eurosceptic political party just won the Czech Republic parliamentary election by a freaking landslide.

The country used to be known as Czechoslovakia, but it was too difficult for most people to spell and it peacefully became the Czech Republic and Slovakia on January 1, 1993.

With the Babis win, the "politically incorrect" billionaire is now the main contender to become prime minister after coalition negotiations. All the votes are counted and his anti-establishment party (sound familiar?) known as ANO (standing for "Action of Dissatisfied Citizens" and also is the Czech word for 'yes') won 30 percent of the votes. This is about three times more than its closest rival.

The elections were held on October 20th. The Eurosceptic Civic Democratic Party (ODS, oddly enough), the anti-establishment Czech Pirates Party and the anti-EU Freedom and Direct Democracy Party (SPD) came second, third and fourth respectively with about 11 percent each.

The Communists came in fifth with 7.8 percent, or the entire the lazy, immoral, idiot vote.

The center-left establishment party that finished first in the last election came in sixth with just 7.2 percent of the vote. It consisted of school teachers who kept saying, "We're going to do it over and over again, until we get it right."

Happy Czech dancers after the votes
were counted

The Christian Democrats, the center-right establishment party won a mere 5.8 percent of the vote, barely enough to qualify for seats in the parliament.

There were nine parties running overall. The outcome reflects popular disgust with established parties and is the latest in a recent run of successes for European populists, including Germany and Austria.

The new populist popularity shows a shifting political European landscape where out of control multiculturalism and political correctness, along with a huge influx of unassimilable, Islamic migrants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East, has bolstered support for anti-establishment protest parties.

Yes, even Europe is beginning to see their foolishness in allowing so many migrants who refuse to assimilate into their country.

Babis's win will strengthen to role of the Visegrad Group (V4), a political alliance of four Central European states: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. They resist mass migration and strongly oppose the continued transference of national sovereignty to the EU.

A stronger V4 will highlight the splits between pro-EU states of Western Europe and the growing Eurosceptic states of Central and Eastern Europe, which will cause the EU to struggle to present a state of unity.

In his victory speech at ANO party headquarters, Babis said:

"This is a huge opportunity to change our country. I would like to assemble a government that will be of the people and for the people and promotes policies that are in their favor."

He also assured the people that he wouldn't put the Czech Republic on the path to authoritarianism as some have charged.

Babis has been highly critical of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's "come on in stranger, make yourself comfortable and here's some money to help get you by until you can fill out the paperwork for your benefits," migration policy. He has repeatedly denounced the EU-imposed migrant quotas and other "EU meddling" in Czech politics and this strongly resonates with his people, who have the second-lowest trust in the European Union of all 28 member states. 

Only the Greeks have less trust in the EU.

Like Trump, Babis is one of the wealthiest men in the country. And like Trump, he presented himself as a non-ideological results-oriented reformer and promises to run the country like a business after years of what he refers to as corrupt and inept management, like Obama.

But Babis wants the Czech Republic to remain in the EU where unimpeded access to the European single market is necessary to maintain the economic health of the country and has allowed the Czech Republic to have the lowest unemployment rate in the EU. However, he opposes the country adopting the euro because he believes that would constrain national sovereignty and competitiveness.

Babis's biggest pledge in reforming the EU from within, is to deal with migration policy. "I want to play a more important role in Europe. But we have to fight for our interests and make proposals. If I were a prime minister, I would say, 'Close this cursed external European border at last.'"

"I have stopped believing in successful integration and multiculturalism," he said.

"I will not accept refugee quotas for the Czech Republic," he said. "The situation has changed. We see how migrants react in Europe. We must react to the needs and fears of the citizens of our country. We must guarantee the security of Czech citizens. Even if we are punished by sanctions."

Kate Steinle's family would be proud of him, I suspect.

This past June, Babis reiterated that the Czech Republic would not be taking orders from unelected bureaucrats in Brussels:

"We have to fight for what our ancestors built here. If there will be more Muslims than Belgians in Brussels, that's their problem. I don't want that here. They won't be telling us who should live here."

Can I get an "Amen?"

Corbyn: May "protect[s] public on the cheap"

London -- Crap-weasel and Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn accused Prime Minister Theresa May of protecting the public "on the cheap" by cutting police budgets. 

The anti-Semitic socialist Corbyn promised that he would increase the police force and give pay raises to those already serving, in his first speech since the London Bridge and London Borough Islamic terror attacks.

Speaking Sunday night, less than a day after three scumcrumpets killed seven and injured forty-eight people, the leftist slug sought to assuage concerns about his own stance on police shoot-to-kill policies by backing them up (finally) for them to use "whatever force is necessary to protect and save life."

After the third terror attack in as many months in the U.K., this issue will undoubtedly take center stage in Thursday's general election.

If Corbyn should win, England is doomed to become a blood pudding caliphate because for all his talk, Corbyn is sympathetic to the Muslim cause.

"We must resist Islamophobia and division," the idiot Corbyn began, "and, yes, we do need to have some difficult conversations starting with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states that have funded and fueled extremist ideology." 

Thus proving he will say anything to win.

Corbyn pledged to commission a report from the security services on the changing nature of the terror threat on day one in office, if, God forbid, he becomes prime minister this week.

Let's face it, Theresa May is quite naive about Islamic terrorism and reduced the police force by 20,000, but Corbyn would be like a Manchurian Candidate if he got the job, in spite of the fact that he's correct regarding he reduction in security expenditures.

"Our priority must be public safety and I will take whatever action is necessary and effective to protect the security of our people and our country. That includes full authority for the police to use whatever force is necessary to protect and save life as they did last night as they did in Westminster in March," he said, using the latest attack to his political advantage as several dozen people lie in critical condition in the hospital.

"You cannot protect the public on the cheap. The police and security services must get the resources they need, not 20,000 police cuts."

Corbyn went on to say that May had been warned by the police officer's staff association, the Police Federation, about the impact the cuts of officer numbers would have and he quoted her accusation in May of 2015 that police were "crying wolf" in the way they expressed concerns.

It may make May look weak and dismayed, but in a time of global terrorism, now may not be the time to cut police. Also, the fact that only four percent of U.K. police carry firearms, that should be an alarm bell for a change in policy. It's absolutely crazy not to have police carry a firearm.

Corbyn also attacked the language May used in her Downing Street address in which she said the country had shown "too much tolerance of extremism" and that fighting it would require "some difficult and often embarrassing conversations" within the public sector and wider society. Quoting May he said that the "difficult conversations" were with Saudi Arabia and May suppressing a report on foreign funding for extremist groups.

Those are strong accusations.

"We must resist Islamophobia and division and turn out on 8 June united in our determination to show our democracy is strong. And yes," Corbyn said, "we do need to have some difficult conversations starting with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states that have funded and fueled extremist ideology."

Corbyn attacked President Trump as well and stood by London's Labor mayor, Sadiq Khan. Trump criticized Khan on Twitter for reassuring Londoners that extra armed police on the streets was "no reason to be alarmed."

Corbyn said, "At this time it is more important than ever that we stay united in our communities. It is the strength of our communities that gets us through these awful times as London Mayor Sadiq Khan recognized, but which the current occupant in the White House has neither the grace nor the sense to grasp."

Except that Trump is correct. People need to be vigilant and being alarmed creates vigilance. It was Sadiq Khan who said that terrorism in large cities has become the norm and we should get used to it.

Corbyn is actually soft on Islamic terrorism. He doesn't even like to use the word Islamic. He is sympathetic to Hamas and is no friend to the Jews in the U.K. and has been called out on it.

As I've said, if Corbyn wins, England is going to have a lot more problems than it now has, and wow, it sure has a lot of problems today.

The Dutch election results defined

Netherlands -- The Freedom Party (PVV) leader Geert Wilders was in the lead a week ago in the polls but disappointed as voting ended Wednesday evening. His party gained 5 seats but still finished second to Prime Minister Mark Rutte.

Wilders is the anti-Islam, "ban the Koran" candidate. His short film, Fitna, shows how the Koran motivates followers to hate all those who violate Islamic teaching. He has received death threats for making the film, which proves the film's premise.

Rutte will now have the chance to form a coalition and govern for a third term. He hailed the election as "an evening in which the Netherlands after Brexit, after the American elections said 'Stop' to the wrong kind of populism."

Let's see in the next several years if indeed, Trump's populism is 'the wrong kind'--I suspect the Netherlands, like France and Germany, is going to find itself having an increase in Islamization and concomitant problems as a result.

The election results gave 33 seats to the (Rutte, center-right) VVD; 20 seats to the (Wilders, right) PVV; 19 seats each to the CDA and D66.

These results indicate that, although there was support from a sizable minority, Wilders was unable to grab a larger base of support for his platform which included banning the Koran and shutting down all mosques and madrassas (Islamic schools) as well as ending all immigration from Muslim countries. 

Many see Wilders' proposal as an attack against all Muslims rather than an attack on the ideology of Islam and protectionist actions against a religion that calls for jihad against non-believers.

Also, there are those who believe that the problem with Islamic extremism cannot be remedied without either destroying Islam completely or at the very least, banishing it from Western society.

Dutch prepare for election with increased nationalism

Geert Wilders

Amsterdam -- The Dutch election on Wednesday is intensifying feelings of nationalism in the land of the clogs and will be a test of how the country feels about Islamic immigration, to use a politically incorrect term. This comes after a rift with Turkey over the weekend.

Turkey wants to lobby Dutch Turks and have them support Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan by handing him sweeping power in a referendum in Turkey on April 16.

Geert Wilders, who's running on the Party For Freedom (PVV) wants to "de-Islamicise" the Netherlands. He's hoping the clashes between Turkish-Dutch protesters and the police, and the accusations made by Turkey of Dutch "fascism" will increase his chances of winning the election.

Unfortunately, Wilders' PVV has as much chance of forming a government, given the splintered party landscape, as Donald Trump had of winning the presidency. Everyone thinks Wilders will probably lose, just as people thought that Trump also would lose.

Like American leftists, whose only hope for winning is to use identity politics, other Dutch parties have ruled out a coalition with a party they view as racist.

France is a different story with far-right Marine Le Pen ahead in one poll. If she wins, there is a very good chance the French will pull out of the EU and curb immigration.

Germany too, with its Alternative for Germany right-wing, euroskeptic party, is probably going to win seats for the first time in the German federal parliament in September.

For now, the big question for the Dutch is whether the Turkey dispute will put Wilders in the driver's seat over Prime Minister Mark Rutte, whose cabinet banned Turkish ministers from holding a rally in the Netherlands.

A recent snap poll indicated a 3-seat boost for Rutte's VVD with 2 seats for Wilders' PVV in the 150-seat parliament.

Many believe Rutte's current hard line on Turkey is merely a political ploy to appeal to realists who see the problems with immigration and dissuade them from voting for Wilders. 

The conservative group Christian Democrats (CDA) on Sunday urged Turkish immigrants to give up their dual nationality and integrate into Dutch culture. But the chances of that happening are about the same as a Muslim having his bar mitzvah at a mosque in Saudi Arabia.


Rutte and Wilders debated Monday with the main argument being how to stem immigration. 

Rutte called Wilders' plan to close borders and mosques and ban the Koran as "fake solutions" and said "While we are focusing on the causes of the refugee crisis, you're wasting all your attention on your Koran police."

Wilders responded by accusing Rutte of providing better healthcare for immigrants than the Dutch themselves. "We need to chose for our own people, for our own parents, and not for the asylum seekers. You are not the prime minister of the Netherlands, but of the foreigners."

While the latest Reuters poll puts Rutte's VVD at 16.2 percent, Wilders' PVV at 13.4 percent, and the CDA at 12.5 percent, it's possible that we may see the 'Trump Effect' on the election: people who say they're voting for Rutte or the CDA because they're uncomfortable saying they're actually voting for Wilders.  Tomorrow will tell.

With such a close margin between parties, any of them could win, but with what happened on Monday when Erdogan threatened legal action against the Dutch, opinion polls would be unreliable as viewpoints of the conflict changes. Wilders actually has a shot--but it's a long shot.

St. Paddy's Day in Israel

Tomorrow is Israel's big election where the current Prime Minister, Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu and his Likud party is in a close race with the centrist Zionist party. The latest polls show the Zionist party is slightly ahead.

The Center-left Zionist party is led by Tsipi Livni and Isaac Herzog, both predicting that an "upheaval" is in the wings. If this is true, then I believe Israel is doomed. If the government goes "dove," then the Hamas fox will eat it for dinner.

Bibi vowed in a Monday interview, that if he is re-elected, a Palestinian state will not be established. For those of you who are not anti-Semitic and perhaps even pro-Israel, that's a good thing. Let's be clear, Hamas wants the total destruction of Israel and the Muslims in Gaza and throughout the Islamic world, want the same thing.

It isn't about land--it's about hating Jews.

Bibi made it clear that if Israel withdrew from the current occupied areas to allow for a Palestinian state to occupy that land, it would spell disaster as it would be taken over by jihadists whose main ambition in life is death and eternal Paradise with 72 virgins, young boys and rivers of wine. 

The surest way to have the gift of Paradise is to kill Jews and infidels, but especially Jews. Mohammad hated them. The Koran hates them. Allah hates them. (Funny, you'd think a wise and all-powerful god such as Allah would know better than to create a group of people he hates and ask humans, who are not as powerful than he is, to kill them. Maybe this Allah god isn't all that powerful, after all.)

Back in 2005, Israel peacefully withdrew from the Gaza Strip. Enter Hamas, who soon started escalating their attacks on Israeli civilians. Livni and Herzog believe these barbarians can be reasoned with--they are useful idiots.

In a speech he gave on Monday at Har Homa, Bibi said, "The choice is symbolic: the Likud led by me, that will continue to stand firmly for (Israel's) vital interests, compared with a left-wing government . . . ready to accept any dictate."

Herzog, like Obama, promises to repair ties with the Palestinian Islamists. It's difficult to tell if they are both simply naive, simply simple, or have other plans in mind that isn't being spoken. In Obama's case, I wouldn't doubt it.

But at the very least, the Obama administration should stay out of Israel's political affairs and stop trying to influence the outcome of this election. There is now a Senate probe exploring the OneVoice Movement and its relationship with V15 from Israel.

The Enemy of Our Enemy is Still Our Enemy

Barack Hussein Obama was on the ballot in yesterday's elections across the nation. The people have spoken, and just like Barry said back when he won his first term, "elections have consequences." Hopefully for us, they will.

It seems that everything this president does is the wrong way to do it. Case in point: Iran and Afghanistan.

In a flailing effort to jump start Afghanistan's horrible economy, Obama has turned to Iran for help. This is akin to asking the IRS to audit John Boehner's tax returns. And Obama has asked this of Iran in spite of the strict sanctions he placed on American companies doing business with that Shi'ite country. The Pentagon has gone ahead and established a special task force to seek out business relations with Iran.

Would it really surprise us if Obama just told Iran to go ahead with their nuclear "energy" project? Of course, he would do it in the spirit of good intentions, but Iran's intentions, like Putin's, are always self-serving. How's that "when I win a second term, I can be more flexible," working out for you, Mr. President?

Obama is as naive as the frog who carried the scorpion across the pond. His extending the olive branch toward Iran illustrates this.

One cannot expect a Shi'ite country to sing Kumbayah with a Sunni country--that isn't the way Islam is built. Islam is really two religions, both warring, but each one having distinctly different theological beliefs. Thus, each one thinks the other is heretic and evil, spreading lies about Allah, as if they met him up front and personal.

Iran likes Afghanistan the same way they like the United States: they would enjoy nuking us and sending us to hell. In fact, by doing just that, they can get a free pass to Paradise, which is chock full o' virgins just waiting to get their groove on with them.

Seriously, getting in bed with Iran may just be Obama's biggest mistake, and he's made some doozies. We are still and always will be, the Great Satan and Israel the Little Satan. And while the latter concept may thrill those American and European Jew-hating liberals who are too stupid to realize that Islam wants them just as dead as the Jews, we must not be so foolish as to believe we can trust Iran.

Let's hope now that the GOP has taken the Senate and gained a ton of gubernatorial positions and House seats that they will hold this administration's feet to the fire, especially regarding national security.

India's Victory, Islam's Loss

The votes are in and Narendra Modi, of the Bharariya Janata Party is the new Prime Minister of India. Modi won in a landslide over the Congress Party, which had been in the center of Indian politics since the country's independence from Britain in 1947.

And the one group of people India can thank for the victory are the Islamic jihadist/terrorists.

Hassanal Bolkia smiling

While Hollywood awoke from its coma a few days ago and boycotted the Beverly Hills Hotel, when Brunei's leader, Sultan Hassanal Bolkia set the country's clocks back 1400 by re-implementing sharia law, Modi has known all along what the jihadists in India intend to do with his country.

If you don't know what sharia law is (and it's often capitalized by those who respect it), you probably read Time, or The New York Times, or only watch mainstream television. Most people in the know, which really means people who aren't liberal, are aware of the archaic, demonic, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, cruel, and intolerance of Islam. Sharia is its constitution--it allows the killing of those who leave the religion for one less violent or none at all; it punishes gays by hanging from a "high place;" it demeans women by taking away most of their rights; and it thoroughly enjoys be-headings, stonings, burning of individuals, and killing Jews for being Jewish.

But Hollywood seems to just be finding out about sharia. When they learned Bolkia re-implemented sharia and owns the Beverly Hills Hotel, they grabbed their signs and self-righteous indignation, and performed protest rallies. There was Jay Leno with time on his hands, Ellen DeGeneres, and Richard Bronson out there in protest. 

Where was the left when Ayaan Hirsi-Ali was banned from Brandeis? Why were they mute about the 50 boys who were burned to death by Boko Haram, but finally woke up when 276 school girls were kidnapped? 

But armed with their trusty hashtags and scowling faces, they are fighting the good virtual fight. I'm sure the jihadists of Boko Haram are peeing in their lungies, quaking in fear that Michelle Obama will force them to read her sign while Hillary tells her to be cool, "they aren't really terrorists."

India has the advantage over the US right now. They know who the enemy is and they refuse to allow them to put their foot in the door and work their way into their government. Unlike Obama, they don't invite them to their Parliament House.

In my latest novel, a New York reporter is taken hostage by terrorists. If POTUS refuses to release 3 Gitmo jihadists, the reporter will die in 24 hours—they will behead him and show it on the Internet. There is only one way out but the clock is ticking . . .
