Imagine doing worse than three losers.
Covid deaths in November are already on pace to pass 30k, which will be the highest since May.
Hospitalizations similarly are already on pace to hit 79k for the month, which also will be the highest since May.
Three months of big hurt are on the way before Joe even wakes up for the first time in the White House as president to call a lid and go back to bed.
This morning early we were still at 239k+ and then I look tonight and we're already past the 241k mark.
I'm hopeful because 72 million Americans sided against Joe Biden.
From "A Review of Protestants and American Conservatism: A Short History by Gillis J. Harp (New York, NY: Oxford University Press, 2019)", here :
Still, perhaps there is more reason to hope than Harp lets on. Neither Modern Conservatism nor the new nationalism shows signs of a distinctly Protestant political perspective. To the extent either one has a political theology, it is dominated by Roman Catholics, who occupy the lion’s share of both movements’ intellectual wings.
Yeah, sure, buddy, it wasn't Catholic priests who used their pulpits to call the men to arms in the revolution against the English king. It wasn't Catholic priests who then doffed their robes and grabbed their rifles and joined them in the field. It was Presbyterians.
Joe Biden, a Catholic, preaches a return to normalcy, which amounts to acquiescence to the status quo of liberal dominance of most American institutions. That is the default position of Catholicism, acquiescence to authority, submission to hierarchy, rule by elites. By definition they'll revolt against nothing and adapt themselves to every nutty innovation which comes along in the spirit of taxation without representation.
The Loyalists have made a comeback, largely on the backs of Catholic immigrants to the United States since 1850.
Is anyone surprised they are for open borders, mass immigration, and globalism, especially if it augments their dominance in America?
Donald Trump, in his feeble way, was a resounding No to all this.
We're still out here.
Meanwhile Pennsylvania ain't called nothin'.
They got what they deserved, and they will get even more of it.
Joel Kotkin here in The New York Post:
If these Democrats win both houses of Congress as well as the White House, things could get far worse for the already beleaguered middle class, which has been rocked by the pandemic, with an estimated 100,000 small firms going out of business. Particularly hard-hit by the recent urban unrest are inner city and minority businesses. ...
If the Democrats win on Election Day, the future for the middle class could be bleak. As a lifelong Democrat, this is not easy to write, but most of the party’s initiatives — such as the Green New Deal — are directly harmful to those in the middle and working classes, who’d be forced to face increased housing and energy prices and fewer upwardly mobile jobs in industries like manufacturing.
COVID-19 deaths per day in the USA, monthly, as reported:
Don't let Joe Biden and Kamala Harris confuse you. There aren't 220 million dead. There aren't 120 million dead. There aren't 210 million dead.
230 thousand. Today.
