I’m not quite sure what motivated me to watch several videos on YouTube that traced intractable liberal and snarky pundits as they went from joyous expectation that Harris would sweep to a crushing victory to their abject disillusion when she was definitively crushed in both electoral and popular votes. Maybe I watched because I have a foolish and petty vindictiveness I’m now admitting to because snarky and proud pundits with we-know-better-than-you attitudes and double standards just piss me off. (I'm sorry, did I just write "piss me off"? I meant to write "just make me a little hissy") Or maybe I watched as “low information voters” appeared to know more than the self-proclaimed elite liberal class of celebrities. Pompous and smirking, the liberals from England’s BBC through America’s PBS, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and NBC to Canada’s CBC all wore frowns at Election Night’s end because their inarticulate and incompetent candidate lost resoundingly after spending more than a billion bucks like a drunken Democrat congressman with tax revenue.
How the World Ends
Two poems come to mind when I think about Election Night videos. The first is Robert Frost’s “Fire and Ice,” which begins:
Some say the world will will end in fire,
Some say in ice…
And the second is T. S. Elliot’s “The Hollow Men,” which ends:
This is the way the world ends,
Not with a bang but a whimper.
The images of a world ending in ice and of a world fading away, serve as points of departure for both the liberal punditry and the Biden Administration. Those pundits ended their nights—and much of their networks’ fan base—in a whimper of defeat made all the more destructive by their refusal to take any opposing thought seriously, so disdainful they were of any contrarian’s view or information. Deep into the election they refused to let reality displace illusion, just as they had let the Vice President’s ineptitude convince them she was the least worthy of candidates. It was their blind loyalty to ideology that allowed them to insist she had run a masterful campaign and that she had articulated the needs of the people. They might all have ears, but in paraphrase of Dr. Samuel Johnson’s line, “They could’t hear what she was saying in those now famous word salads.”
“Intractable.” as I termed them above, the pundits were left to say, “Well, this is the world we now live in, a world of Fascist-Nazi-Dictators controlled by Russia. How could so many have chosen this future?” To the end they held their talking points centered on “the threat to democracy” without acknowledging that the electorate had democratically spoken—in large numbers. And now, less than two weeks out, they retain their snarky attitudes with “Musk is the real President.” They truly are “THE HOLOW MEN.” They truly have a frozen perspective.
The Blazing Glory of the Biden Departure
What can one say about “the greatest President of our times,” the one Nancy Pelosi wants enshrined on Mt. Rushmore? His accomplishments are too numerous to mention, but here’s a short list:
1. A crush of millions of illegal aliens getting free stuff paid for by American citizens
2. More than 100,000 fentanyl deaths
3. Enriched Mexican drug cartels
4. Billions of dollars in military equipment left for the Taliban after the debacle of the chaotic withdrawal that cost 13 American lives, numerous Afghani allies’ lives, and the loss of freedom for Afghani women
5. Flourishing Iranian and Russian oil economies, and money for Iranian proxies to attack Israel and shipping in the Middle East
6. Billions spent chasing a tenth of a degree in temperature with no guarantee of achieving that reduction, and a redistribution of wealth
7. Capitulation to every Far Left ideal
8. An obviously corrupt DOJ that pursued parents and Catholics as
domestic terrorists, and that raided Trump’s home with armed agents that had permission to shoot to kill
9, Men in women’s sports and the death of Title IX
10. Billions in loan relief
11. Billions for recharging stations that were never built
12. More than 10,000 union jobs lost in the Keystone Pipeline closure
and the purchase of both Russian and Venezuelan oil
13. EV mandates that threaten the car industry and the electric grid
14. An Executive Branch without a fully functioning Executive
I suppose I could list more, but any list will fall short of recording the accomplishments of this transformational president. He has quietly left the world a safer place, Americans further enriched, illegals further enriched, also, women feeling safer…
I’ll miss his fiery speeches, his energy, his enlightening press conferences, and his…Hold on, I was thinking of his…giving his son an eleven-year pardon, saving himself from more inquiries into the rise in the Biden family’s wealth. Yeah, Scranton Joey will quietly fade a wealthy man. Get out the chisel. There’s still room on Mount Rushmore, especially for a hollow head.
I guess the Biden world is ending with a whimper of a senile and angry old man thrown out of office by an actor and a congresswoman.
