Kristi Noem For President?-For Humanity's Sake No

 

It's about three years before any meaningful analysis of who the next, realistic, GOP presidential candidates might be but of course the media and especially the conservative blogs, as per below examples, are setting out their favorites now.

That in the real world this has probably little meaning is by the by. Remember "Jeb is a lock for 2016" and countless other examples. Of course nobody knows what the political, economic and social situation will look like in early 2024 or who will be the president that year-Harris or Biden.

But a word on Governor Kristi Noem. I don't have a dog in the hunt except to advise that if President Donald Grover Cleveland Trump is renominated I would support him fully. 

As for Noem's proposed candidacy I would caution against it for common humanity's sake and for realistic political reasons.

Presuming Kamala Harris is the Dem's nominee running a white women from a 3 Electoral vote state is electorally sub-optimal. 

Every statement she would make, every policy proposal would be run through the MSM entirely through the prism of "Racism." The near total lock on Black female voters would be adamantine and the, crucial, overall black vote shift to the GOP from 2008's nadir would be halted if not reversed.

As for common humanity I would fear for Noem, or any female Republican candidate for president.

 The examples of how the media and the hate blogosphere used every mechanism, no matter how false, degrading and disgusting to attack Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann (and currently Marjorie Taylor Green) would not, for her and her family's sake, make a run worthwhile in the long term for her personal well being.

In my opinion, apart from Trump, the GOP's best choice on purely Electoral College considerations, would be Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina (with the added benefit of keeping "Nikki" Haley off of the ticket as two candidates from the same state can't run together. 

Scott cancels the race card and might increase Black male support while winning Georgia and keeping Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in play. Noem for VP? Sure, why not, it's a well balanced ticket in all respects

KRISTI NOEM AT CPAC

Earlier today, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem spoke at CPAC. Regular readers know that I am a fan of hers. She grew up on a farm near my home town and has become an intellectual leader of the conservative movement. In a year when pretty much everyone knuckled under to authoritarianism in the face of an alleged emergency, she stood tall for freedom.

"This editor used to adore Nikki Haley.

True story. Tough as nails, direct, fearless at the UN … but then she tried to save her own skin and dumped on Trump in January. And hey, we get it, a lot of people were jumping ship when the Left was working overtime to paint Trump as some sort of evil authoritarian inspiring an insurrection but trying to wiggle her way back in?

Yeah.

Not a great idea, Nikki."

Scoop: Nikki Haley tried to get a meeting with Trump yesterday but he turned her down, even despite her apparent attempt to patch things up through a @WSJ op-ed yesterday

Rebecca Schoenkopf's @Wonkette "Tim Scott Will Be Remembered As A Self-Hating Black Man."

 On February 9th I wrote;

"The Most Sensible Man To Run In 2024; "Senator Tim Scott: "

I included among a number of reasons why Senator Scott would be an ideal GOP 20204 candidate "Impossible for the Dems' to use the race card."

Clearly I did not account for the loathsome scum who inhabit Rebecca Schoenkop's @commiegirl1 loathsome "Wonkette" for whom the race card, in reverse, is a method of attack against an honorable person. 

There are, clearly, no depths to which they will not sink in pursuit of the "progressive" agenda.

So, true to form, they presented a major column attacking Scott, who they rightly perceive as a threat, and Hispanic Ted Cruz. 

"Tim Scott enabled and protected the twice-impeached thug at every opportunity. He's an embarrassment, and only a complete fool would think Scott deserves a special shout out during Black History Month.

 Enter Ted Cruz, esteemed Black Person Expert. Cruz apparently can't grasp why Black people might celebrate Stacey Abrams more than Scott. 

Why, she hasn't been elected statewide! Trust me, I don't think that comes up a lot at the beauty parlor.

 Abrams — like the late Rep. John Lewis, who also never won a statewide election — has devoted her life to removing barriers erected to keep Black people from voting. Scott voted to confirm Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who Coretta Scott King denounced for having used his office to suppress minority voting rights. He didn't even object when Republicans posthumously attacked Mrs. King"

"Tim Scott is on his own."

That was just the preamble-the loathsome scum in the comments section didn't hold back as this small sample advises:

"I keep getting Tim Scott mixed up with Dred Scott. Wonder why."

"Tim Scott will be remembered as a self-hating Black man. 

Because the only reason you can be a minority and be a member of the Rethuglian party is if you hate yourself or you believe that somehow these racists will look past the color of your skin. Rethuglians are all about their white selves. 

They will never consider minorities as equals."

Redundant Headline "Liberals Losing Their Minds On Social Media" (Over Trump Acquittal This Time)

 The rest of the lib loons Tweets at REDSTATE

All the usual suspects.

Democrats had a lot of issues from the start: a snap impeachment without a hearing, no witnesses or evidence produced so no record for the House Managers to really work from, the question of whether it was even constitutional at all to proceed against a former president no longer in office and the failure of the facts to support the “incitement to insurrection” charge that was a massive overreach of a charge.

Liberals are now furious at what they feel was a cave at the last minute by the Democrats when they could have dragged it out and called witnesses. The reaction was glorious.

Of Seven; 5 As*holes (Palin-Do Your Duty) 1 Of Expedience 1 Of Conscience;

The seven GOP senators who joined with all Democrats in finding Trump guilty were: 

Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.

Romney and Sasse should be primaried to Hell. Toomey and Burr retiring had the opportunity to spit their hatred.

Cassidy voted his conscience whether one agrees with him or not

Collins as always had the opportunity of a safe vote for her in a challenging state and is irrelevant in the greater scheme of things.

Murkowski has to go-Palin made it clear she could run against her previously she should make that concrete and start her campaign now.

As for Manchin and Sinema "Democrats of the center" there is no such thing, they have to go.

Never Haley 

"Nikki Haley says Trump has no future in GOP"

Via Vanity Fair

When Palin started picking favorites in GOP primaries during the 2010 midterms, she instantly became the most coveted endorsement of the election cycle. 

With her small-staffed political outfit, SarahPAC, Palin didn’t bring much of a political machine to the table, but a single social media post could generate enough media coverage and fundraising dollars to flip the direction of a primary overnight. 

In May 2010, when Palin endorsed Nikki Haley just before South Carolina’s four-way gubernatorial primary and appeared with her at a rally in Columbia, Haley was left for dead in last place.

 A few weeks later she was the Republican nominee. Former Haley adviser Rob Godfrey, who was then working for a rival candidate, told me at the time that Palin’s endorsement was “an earned media blowtorch.” 

Then;

Sarah Palin helped Nikki Haley win the South Carolina gubernatorial election with a timely endorsement, but Haley's not quite ready to return the favor, Politico reports.

Appearing Sunday on "This Week," Haley insisted that it's far too early for her to be endorsing anybody in advance of the 2012 presidential campaign.

“I have not in any way endorsed, plan on endorsing, at this point in time, at all,” she said. “When the right time comes I will endorse. But there is no one that I feel like I owe at this time.”

The Most Sensible Man To Run In 2024; "Senator Tim Scott: President Trump Is Simply Not Guilty"

The right idea-just a bit early

It's pure common sense-Senator Tim Scott for President 2024. Of course nobody knows the economic and social situation in the autumn of 2024, or who will be president at that point, but all things being equal Scott is the best choice based on these, and more, parameters.

Long serving, experienced senator, well spoken with apparently no skeleton problems. An historic figure as first Black to be elected senator from South Carolina. Not associated with any extreme economic or social stands.

Loyal to President Trump without being associated with the Q Anon fringe i.e. a team player.

Impossible for the Dem's to play the race card. Since the Constitution bars a presidential and VP candidate from the same state it would keep Haley off the ticket and allow for e.g. Noem to be his running mate.

Electoral College wise Pennsylvania Georgia and Michigan and Wisconsin would be very much in play.

Oh, and for those who followed me on Twitter you know of course that I am always ahead of the game and always right-always.

Superbowl Comments=The County Is Scr*wed

The first MSM report on the game commenced in the comment section with;

"The ref's only gave penalties to the black quarterbacks team-the game was fixed in advance"

"Brady is a well-known MAGA which is why the ref's fixed the game from the start"

"The half-time entertainer did not have a single white person supporting him on stage"

"The quicker the Chiefs get their racists name changed the better"

That's as far as I got before I clicked off in disgust-sports is another adjunct of the Twitter cesspool and a reflection of where America is at now.

A tad extreme but the right sentiment; 

"99.9% of the people on Twitter should be fed into a wood chipper."

Of course I am not the only one to notice this;

Tom Brady Called 'Racist' on Social Media for Winning Super Bowl During Black History Month

Here's What I Know-The Forces of the Left, Unleashed In 1963, Are Undefeatable

American society was irrevocably destroyed by Lee Harvey Oswald, McGeorge Bundy (playing exactly the same role as Dick Cheney) and his Vietnam puppet Lyndon B. Johnson. 

Woodward and Bernstein accelerated the decline taking a minor scandal and making it a further sledgehammer to the American psyche.

Ronald Reagan brought a brief hiatus with his destruction of communism. Another, similar Republican sweep would also be a hiatus.

And yes, the 2020 election was "stolen" proving the forces unleashed in 1963 are undefeatable.

Time just released a fascinating in-depth story of how Democrats, liberal activist groups, media, social media and, shockingly, corporate America all partnered in one big conspiracy to prevent Donald Trump's reelection. Time admitted it was a "conspiracy." It admitted it was an "alliance between left-wing activists and business titans."

The detailed Time story reads like a confession of a stolen election. It admitted the game plan: This conspiracy was based on taking advantage of COVID-19, mail-in voting, last-minute changes in voting laws, gobs of corporate money backing the effort, and collusion by media and social media to silence any dissent.

All that is left is ones individual conscience based on faith and family and voting to ameliorate, as much as is possible, the destructive forces.

After a lifetime of activism and, hopefully a mature totally realistic outlook, I sum up politics and society briefly and imo indisputably. All else is amelioration, and even that is marginal if Texas ever goes blue or Trump's cracking of the "blue wall" in 2016 was an aberration, against an unstoppable coalition of forces.

@Wonkette's @commiegirl1 And Noted Homosexual Editor @Evanhurst Let Us Down Once Again

The progressive Journal of Record Wonkette is a fierce attacker of all things tawdry and sexually immoral and writes in a dignified manner not seen in right wing Blogs-for example today;

In Which We Lift Our Trump News Ban Because WHAAAAAT And LOLLLLLL And You HEAR This Sh*t?

This is why it is so surprising that they, and especially fearless, proud homosexual Evan Hurst has not reported on The Lincoln Project's trouble with errant homosexual John Weaver; (Nota Bene; Weaver describes himself as "homosexual" not "Gay" so I am just following his example)

"Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver exits after reportedly sexting young men"

One miss on this story might be understandable but two? Something seems amiss as another Lincoln Project executive member, this time apparently a rampant heterosexual and vehement Trump critic Stuart Stevens, hit the headlines "

"Vermont Judge Issues No-Stalking Order Against GOP Operative Stuart Stevens"

This chain of misses gets curioser and curioser as the tiger for truth Wonkette's owner Rebecca Schoenkopf and Hurst missed;

"Democratic donor Ed Buck exploited, drugged at least 10 men, federal charge says"

And missed this which seems to have captured a few headlines;

"Man busted with Andrew Gillum in hotel room with meth was gay escort"

It's all so confusing but there must be a reasonable explanation I am sure
