Barely beating a corrupt, incompetent, treasonous opponent

The Democrats are feeling pretty good that they didn't get crushed in the mid-term elections. They held onto control of the Senate, but will probably lose control of the House. This is not acceptable and I consider it a overwhelming failure. All of the Democratic leaders should be replaced. Yes, they didn't get crushed, but their opponents were all pledging loyalty to a corrupt, incompetent, treasonous opponent. It is 100% clear (at best) that Donald Trump would have happily throw out the legitimate results of a election and remained in power if given the chance. However, it is much worse than that, he actively inspired and helped people to try and make this happen. This is treason! Trump is a corrupt as they come, surrounds himself is complete loyalists, and promote completely unqualified candidates. Yes, the Democrats can't win over anyway, except their own base. This is the Kansas City Chiefs beating the Jets 30-29 on a fluke play in the 4th quarter. Sure Kansas City won, but they should have crushed them. They played terrible and they should know that if they don't have significant changes they are going to lose the next time they face a decent opponent (see Ron DeSantis). The next two years are going to be a mess. 

Follow up (12/7/2022), the Democrats are so happy the won the Senate runoff in Georgia, but they should be ashamed. They put forward and qualified, experienced candidate and only got 51.4% of the vote against Hershel Walker (who has no experience or actual policies, as well as lots of controversies).  If the Republics has put forward a decent candidate, they would have won. Trump will learn this lesson and adjust, but he did learn that a vast majority of base will vote for his candidate no matter what (which just allows him to feel free to pick complete loyalists).

Free Shakespeare Tickets - Contest #3

My girlfriend and I have two extra tickets to Much Ado About Nothing in the park tonight (Saturday August 7). Since we thought selling free tickets was a little unethical, we decided to have a contest to see who needs them the most. So, if you are interested please go to http://danlipka.blogspot.com/ and post a comment that best describes why you want/need the tickets. The stories can be made up, but you have to specifically say if it is fictional (true stories carry more weight than fiction, but creativity is also a good thing). If you have any questions post them on the blog or email them to me. Tickets can be picked up on the upper east side or by the theater. Contest ends at 6:00 unless something changes, (well maybe at 5:30). Good Luck. 6:14 - It's all over. We have selected and contacted the winners. I’m sorry to all those who weren’t chosen, as you all were deserving of the tickets. To those couples that couldn’t get to go, I say to spend the night together, have a roma

The Constitution and Justice

When the Supreme Court rules, they often struggle to understand the depth and meanings in some of the words or phrases in the Constitution. However, the Founders provided very clear language as to what they were trying to accomplish from a vision standpoint. Although not the law, the Preamble provides critical guidance that should be the first reference for any court ruling. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Specifically, the word "Justice". It is the very first thing they wanted to establish. Justice should be the defining feature of any law, and anything that increase injustice should be unconstitutional. The very first question at any Supreme Court hearing should always be

Lessons from History - Democracy

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time" - Winston Churchill I am currently reading biographies on each of the US Presidents. I'm only on Madison, but I've learned some incredible insights into the dysfunctions of our government. Since the Articles of Confederation were adopted in 1777, politicians and the wealthy have been constantly undermining justice, equality, and the idea that they should prioritize the good of the nation above all else. The disgraces of current politicians are nothing new and have been part of US political culture since our country's founding. For example, the southern states refused to adopt the constitution unless it counted enslaved people at 3/5 of a person for the purposes of having more ele
