YES. The evil party.
Evil is a very strong word, when used properly. Merriam-Webster defines it many ways, the most relevant to what I’m talking about being “morally reprehensible” and “arising from actual or imputed bad character or conduct.” That is the modern left, the “progressive movement,” the “Democratic” Party. And to fight evil, to stop it, is the most important thing anyone can do.
For the progressive Left, evil is the perfect word.
WATCH CLOSELY NOV 2ND: Virginia Delegate races could reflect national anti-Democrat mood.
AT LEAST UNTIL DEMOCRATS ARE OUSTED FROM POWER: Moderna says COVID booster, like flu vaccine, could be yearly.
YOU HAVE TO ADMIT HE'S VERY COMPETENT AT BEING INCOMPETENT: Lindsey Graham drags Joe Biden for being ‘most incompetent president’.
THOMAS SOWELL: High stakes in Virginia.

Higher than you might think. Much higher. Read it all.
KURT SCHLICHTER on the Alec Baldwin conundrum: What goes around, comes around.

And comes around pretty damned hard, since I'm not feeling particularly kindly toward progressives these days....
GLENN REYNOLDS ON LAW: Remembering the great dissenter.
RANDOM THOUGHT: When we oppose the Democrats' multi-trillion dollar 'infrastructure' plans their reaction seems to be "How dare you try to keep our money!"
GROUND ZERO OF WOKE: Universities are making themselves not just disliked and disreputable but ultimately irrelevant and replaceable.

And good riddance. Maybe then I'll be able to find a good plumber. Or welder. Or electrician.

Or teacher....
FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE BILLIONAIRES:
“It’s not a wealth tax, but a tax on unrealized capital gains of exceptionally wealthy individuals,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told CNN on Sunday.
Umm, what's that (untaxed) money in your IRA called? Yep. Unrealized.Capital.Gains.

And you seriously think they don't have their beady little eyes firmly focused on the trillions of dollars hidden away there?
DON'T TRUST THEM; THEY LIE: People who opt for public transportation over driving in the D.C. metro area can save $9,530 a year.

This from the Shadow's World wayback machine in 2009, proving only that our leadership (heh) class has been lying to us for a long, long time....
THIS WORRIES ME: Progressive overlords relish the opportunity to purge first responders who refuse to bend the knee.

So yes, I'm stocking up -- and practicing more.

YEAH, TELL ME ABOUT ALL THE THINGS I DON'T WANT: CNN caves to Pelosi's complaint to sell Democrats' agenda 'better'.
AMMO GRRRLL on things that won't come our way again.

Well, maybe. I have seen a couple of poodle skirts, but no saddle shoes (yet).
TRUMP announces the creation of a new social media platform.

I don't know that it'll come to fruition, but I'm hopeful.
THIS LOW: How low will the Loudoun County School Board go?
Parents should remove their children from any schools that maintain these misguided policies. In the meantime, trust no one in any school administration to tell the truth — or to protect your kids.
Instapundit has been quoted as saying that sending your child to public (government) schools is akin to child abuse. I think he's right.
RANDOM THOUGHT: The prime purpose of the American government is to keep its citizens safe itself in power.
BIDEN'S POLLING: worse than Obama, Bush, Clinton, better than Trump, at this point in their presidencies.
The president currently stands at 43% approval and 51% disapproval in an average of the latest national polls compiled by Real Clear Politics. While that’s nothing for Biden to brag about, it’s better than his predecessor in the White House. Donald Trump stood at 40% approval and 55% disapproval in an average of the polls at this point in his first year in office.
Oh?
This data is from the Rasmussen Presidental Approval Index for Obama (blue), Trump (red), and Biden (green) from the date of each's inauguration through October 21st.

Biden remains at -26 today.
NO FUCKING WAY IN HELL: Senate Democrats’ bill shifts Border Patrol funds to remove border wall.
BECAUSE CONTROL: Mask rules are idiotic — so why haven’t they changed?
