YOUR BASE IS WHO YOU PANDER TO:
El-Sayed refuses to publicly support the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei, because, as he admitted on leaked audio, he doesn't want to alienate radicalized pro-Khamenei/pro-Hezbollah voters in Dearborn.

THE BIGGEST SIGN WE HAVE THAT THE DEMOCRATS AREN’T SURE OF WOMEN IS THE IMPORTANCE GIVEN THE CLANCY CASE AND THE CORNELL CASE: About That Night in Cornell.
Third, the timing of the claim is suspicious. I know her suit was technically filed in September, but coming as it does shortly before an election it qualifies as an “October Surprise.”
When I make this observation, I get criticized because the politicians who have shown the most interest in the case are Democrats running for office in deep-blue New York, and they are hardly in danger of losing their respective elections.
I think the critics miss the point. The timing and sensational nature of the claims about this case made by leftist pols force every other politician to take a public position on the case. No politician, even one cruising to re-election, wants to be seen equivocating on an issue like rape.
Now, it seems to have been mostly dropped, so it didn’t work. I’m almost in fear of what they come up with next to make women fall in line at the polls. Any bets? I hope it doesn’t involve a pregnant woman getting shot (by the police of maybe ICE) as is the old trick of communists everywhere.

A CHOICE WE SHOULDN’T MAKE IF WE HOPE TO SURVIVE: Post-Truth Is a Choice. The death of truth isn’t inevitable. It is the consequence of people deciding that what they want to believe matters more than what actually happened.

More public executions please. More executions. Murderers, rapists, terrorists and traitors.
(We have quite a few of the latter as yet uncharged. Not a good idea. Charges, executions, get people’s attention.)

UPDATE: I would not lose sleep over impalement, drawing and quartering, or burning alive.
