The Real Heroes of the 2024 Election

It's time to give credit to the people who are actually responsible for influencing the electorate. In no particular order:

Jill Biden, for leading her husband around by the nose, more caretaker than wife, emphasizing to all how enfeebled and confused he really was. By the summer of 2024, Joe was no longer the candidate, but the Bidens set the stage for the election. And the news industry's need to cover for them brought media credibility to new lows.

Hunter Biden. The Presidency has a long tradition of black sheep relatives who try to capitalize on their proximity to power, from Billy Carter to Neil Bush to Roger Clinton. A few wrangled a pardon or two, but none had ever quite subverted national policy before. Hunter was a barrier breaker, accepting money from China, Russia, and the Ukraine on behalf of himself and the Big Guy.  

The five former CIA directors who, along with 46 of their minions, signed that letter saying that the Hunter Biden laptop had all the classic earmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign. To believe that, one would have to believe that the Russians convinced the Presidential scion to pose naked with a gun, and with a crack pipe in his mouth. Has there ever been clearer proof that the swamp needs draining? 

The FBI, for ordering big tech to censor anyone who discussed possible electoral fraud, the side effects of COVID vaccines, and Hunter's laptop. Could they have made it any plainer that instead of fighting crime, they are abetting it?

Marn'i Washington, the FEMA operative who ordered her subordinates to avoid helping Hurricane Milton victims with Trump signs in their yards. A big thank you to Marn'i for putting her directive into writing and helping us make sense of the Biden/Harris administration's neglect of East Palestine after that toxic train wreck, and of Asheville after Hurricane Helene. (Both heavily Republican areas.) 

Lia Thomas. The sight of that hulking 6'4" biological man in a woman's bathing suit standing at the top of the podium drove home to sports fans everywhere the insanity of having trans women compete against biological women. And a big thank you to all the other XY competitors who thrashed women  in cycling, weight-lifting, track, and boxing. 

The cable news networks, for having overplayed their hand to the point where all but the most brainwashed could see through them. While screaming hysterically about how Trump was "an existential threat to democracy," they turned a blind eye to possible electoral fraud, the Democrats' attempted subversion of the First Amendment, and the weaponization of government itself. 

Merrick Garland, for having called parents who objected to the propaganda their children were fed "domestic terrorists," while ignoring the real threat of terrorists coming across our southern border, perfectly illustrating this administration's priorities. 

Alexander Mayorkas, for enabling a four year modern day Mariel boat lift, while claiming that he had the border under control. No one can say he didn't do his bit to diminish the administration's credibility. 

Kamala Harris's Vice Presidential staff, 91.5% of whom quit during her tenure. Could they possibly have made a more eloquent statement about what she was really like?

Kamala herself, for flip flopping on almost every major issue; for her avoidance of serious interviewers; for her refusal to answer questions; for being such an obvious puppet; and for coming across like every other ditzy lady you meet three drinks in at a suburban cocktail party. And most of all, for her popularization of the phrase "word salad." 

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, whose sordid history of impregnating a nanny, slapping a girlfriend in public, and creating a toxic work environment for the women at his law firm proved that he was no gentleman. Could he have done any more to make Kamala's talk of sticking up for women ring hollow?

Tim Walz, who, in keeping with recent Democrat tradition, was chosen not for perspicacity, honesty, common sense, and eloquence, but rather for the opposite: an ability to make the Presidential candidate look good by comparison. Could there have been a more vivid illustration of the Left's insanity than Walz's advocating tampons in boys' bathrooms?

Tren de Aragua, for committing all those crimes, including the murder of Laken Riley and others. (Had you ever heard of this Venezuelan gang before the Biden/Harris administration?) 

The good liberals of Martha's Vineyard, who, when confronted their own batch of illegal immigrants, had them shipped - in less than 24 hours - to less wealthy environs. Could limousine liberal hypocrisy have been more clearly illustrated?

Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, Juan Merchan, Lewis Kaplan, Arthur Engoron, Jack Smith, and the other politically motivated players who persecuted Trump with lawfare. Could their subverting of the legal system have been more obvious? 

George Soros, for having single-handedly financed the election of all those soft-on-crime big city DAs, thus overseeing the decline of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, et al. 

Thomas Matthew Crooks, for having attempted to assassinate Trump, but for succeeding only in nicking Trump's ear, providing Trump the opportunity to appear heroic. (Funny how we've all forgotten Crooks' name, since he seems to have disappeared down the media's collective memory hole.)

These are the people who should be thanked at Trump's first State of the Union address -- the people who really deserve credit for determining the outcome of the election.
