By Ray Cardello for February 12, 2025, Season 30 / Post 37

I watch the protests and the coverage of the radicals by the legacy opinion shows. I am completely lost as to what the Democrat’s message is to the Republicans or the American people. Collectively, they are coming across as unhinged. In one protest on Tuesday, each speaker threw at least one F-bomb, and in another, they gathered on stage and sang a revamped version of a 30’s union song. Their performance was worthy of a current-day Super Bowl halftime show. In other words, the performance was pathetic, as was this string of protest-filled days. But the Democrats do not get it. They are losing the American public as their policy positions do not align with a country moving towards the center. I think it is generous to say they have actual policy positions. They are pro-gang, pro-terrorist, pro-transgender and pro-illegal immigration. I don’t have to say these views don’t align with America; they are simply insane, which is why they cannot support their views; they can only make accusations against Trump and his administration and lace their speeches with four-letter profanities. The angst against Musk is not about him being a billionaire, unvetted, or without a security clearance. Their angst is about him uncovering the biggest money laundering scheme in history, and Democrats ran it at the expense of the American people.

I watch Randi Weingarten, the president of the largest teachers union, rant about the examination of the Department of Education. Weingarten takes a base salary of $560,000, which is considerably more than the teachers she represents, but what is more hypocritical is her claim that the union and the Department of Education are for the children. Nothing could be further from the truth. Weingarten and her union worked behind the scenes with Fauci and Biden to keep the schools shut down during COVID-19 far longer than necessary, creating irreparable harm to young students. Elementary students have dropped so low in reading and math skills they may never catch up. She worked with Merrick Garland to attack parents who spoke up at school board meetings. She has helped create a system that costs more per student than any country on Earth, yet is number 40 in skills. The DOE and the teachers’ union have failed education and children and should be dismantled. We have replaced God with DEI and CRT, and how children used to be indoctrinated, but now they are being set up for failure.

A final thought on Musk is that he is the whipping boy of the Left, and he does not need any of it. He is the wealthiest man in the world, donating his time to weed out fraud and misuse of American taxpayer dollars. If he sticks with the task, it may be to spite the fools making all the noise, but it makes no sense. These irrational bloviators have a problem with Trump and a few brilliant nerds having access to the books but had no problem with Lois Lerner using the IRS to attack Conservative groups, the 87,000 IRS agents who would see all of our tax returns, with a gun on their belt, or the IRS monitoring every transaction American’s made. If you are going to be unhinged, at least swing both ways.
