[U] Steve Hayward’s OWN CHARTS Establish Trump Only Won By “A Whisker”… Lost Popular Vote, Again, Too…

In three national election cycles, it seems pretty clear Tangerine was not favored by a majority of those who actually went out and… voted.

Not in 2016; not in 2020… and as the balance of the last 2 million or so ballots come in from largely blue districts in California… not in 2024, either.

So all of the nonsense over at Powerline, about mandates, or landslides… is just BS.

And Hayward is the bullshitter, in chief.

But the second, of his own charts, this afternoon, puts the lie to his prior crowing.

See at above right.

What a putz.

Update @ 10 PM CST: Hinderaker confirms Gaetz has very little chance of clearing a GOP Senate hearing unscathed on credible charges of transporting across state lines — to have sex with underage (boys and) girls, and illegal drug use. [But the MAGA moral indignation is only ever aimed at… Democrats, it seems.] End update.

In passing, I (too) doubt Matt Gaetz can be confirmed as the US AG… but we shall see.

If this Senate will confirm a Faux News talking head to be Secretary of Defense (never in our history has that cabinet level position been held by anyone not already at least a multi-star General — and this TV guy… was last an enlisted man, over two decades ago) — I guess any clown show in this circus… is possible.

Onward, grinning — what a pack of… dead-enders.

I Gather Scott Has Never Read, Or Heard Of, Pres. Johnson’s 1965 NEA — And Nearly 60 Years Of Law Under It.

Scott Johnson goes on a exquisitely ill-informed rant this rain-soaked Sunday morning — in two respects.

First, he would liken an act by a sitting President, pursuant to exactly the same authority his immediate predecessor used (multiple times, and all as contemplated by an explicit statute) to a monarch’s overreach. Heh. WTH?

But more eye-popping is his clear ignorance of a new approach, laid out Friday night, by that same sitting President — to rely on the “Great Society” measures Congress passed under LBJ, in 1965. Ones repeatedly held Constitutional over the last 60 or so years.

The National Education Act gives Mr. Biden this explicit authority, as we’ve shown, here. Scott should revisit (or read for the first time, carefully) his 20th Century American History, under Johnson, Lyndon Baines. Any one of those old high school textbooks.

Hilarious.

This Is Just… Fundamentally… Sad. A Guy Who Became Definitively Irrelevant By 2008, Still Clinging To… His Jingoism.

In view of the FACT that this purportedly pure-as-the driven snow… idiot has done NO TAKEDOWN of Trump’s showing up on an altar in golf cleats (as really the only time he was filmed at an actual religious ceremony not convened to honor HIM)… and holding a Bible upside down as his shock troops battered mostly peaceful protesters against police brutality in Lafayette Square, that July night in 2020, in DC…

…It is utter lunacy that he still attacks the 44th President, over fourteen years later, over his intensely private religious convictions. That dimension (one’s religion — or lack of it) was intended to be irrelevant in public life, as envisioned by the founders — at least as to serving the federal government.

It was — and is — the purest jingoism to claim he is simply testing the truthfulness of Mr. Obama (who last held public office seven years ago), with his dead tired scree.

Were that factual… he long ago should have branded a scarlet A on the forehead of Tangerine. He’s done no such thing.

As that link shows, he’s done the opposite.

What an insufferable loser he — and Tangerine each, is.

Out.

Y A W N. Only Took Ten Days — And Abbott’s “Driving While Brown” Lawless Executive Order Is… Enjoined, In Texas.

We said this would occur. Full overnight order here, from the able USDC Judge Kathryn Cardone, in El Paso. See image at right.

It is patently obvious that allowing Texas Rangers / state troopers to stop anyone suspected of being a “migrant” in any car, at any time — on no other probable cause. . . is repugnant to our equal protection clause. Hard to imagine a more clear violation of that notion, by official action.

It would mean (if allowed to go into effect) that it would be unlawful in Texas to “drive, while. . . brown” — or at least give police there loony Gestapo powers.

But even more than that, the matters of immigration and deportation. . . are exclusively under federal jurisdiction, under our Constitutional scheme. Texas is not its own nation. Texas may not try to step in front of a federal mandate or rule here (just as we saw in the young Texas USDC Judge Tipton “Dead Hand on the Tiller” case this Spring). In sum, sit down Gov. Abbott. Oh. I guess you already. . . got the memo, from USDC Judge Tipton.

In any event, we will track this up to and through the final injunction, in El Paso — and then on up to the Fifth Circuit, and if need be — to the Supremes. Abbott and Paxon really ought to be re-styled — as Abbott and Costello. Out, grinning, though at the feckless wastes Texas voters and taxpayers allow, as publicity stunts — by their Governor.

I genuinely cannot fathom the mindless hate it takes, to come up with these ultimately impotent stunts.

I N S A N E.
