Democrats have gone into full Helen Reddy mode.
Allow me to explain.
Reddy was a modestly talented singer in the 1970s. Australian-born, a U.S. citizen by choice, Reddy was a raging Democrat with all the inconsistent messaging that political affiliation entails.
She won a Grammy in 1973 for “I Am Woman,” often cited as the women’s liberation anthem of the time. “I am woman, hear me roar” etc., etc., etc.
Reddy, got another Grammy nomination in 1976 for “Ain’t No Way To Treat A Lady” with moaning lyrics like “No way to treat your baby, your woman, your friend.”
Notably, this one didn’t win. Perhaps the left-wing voters that make up such award organizations were confused how the all-powerful roaring woman went to simpering about being mistreated, and ostensibly owned by someone (a man?) considering all the “your” modifiers.
Present-day Democrats are similarly flexible with their core principles.
Nancy Pelosi, 82-year-old Speaker of the House, who still won’t comment on her husband’s DUI arrest, recently blamed current inflation on COVID-19 and the war in IRAQ!
Holy Joe Biden. Pelosi staff, AKA cleanup crew, massaged the transcript to war in UKRAINE because that’s obviously what she meant. Or maybe she meant all the costs incurred in the winter campout at Valley Forge during the American Revolution, back when she was a young debutante, is the seed of our current inflation.
On the subject of Ukraine and war with Russia, Papa Joe Biden, who is similarly detail-challenged, confusing Iran and Iraq and Iran and Ukraine in recent months, apparently was sentient enough to hear his people being overly optimistic about that Ukraine conflict.
Specifically, according to a report on NBC, which usually can be counted on to prop up Biden, the Big Guy told his gang the talk of winning would create unrealistic expectations.
Translation: Not that long ago Joe was talking victory, but now Ukraine is obviously getting its butt kicked – not unexpected by the way – and no amount of propaganda can change that.
Lest you think Biden is back on track mentally, he quickly stepped back into his confusion cabinet and emerged with a plan to send citizens rebate cards to offset rising gasoline prices and, hopefully, bribe them into voting Democrat in mid-term elections this fall.
The main problem – not even touching on the fact that government money giveaways to citizens helped fuel our current inflation – is that a shortage of computer chips means the cards can’t be produced in sufficient numbers, even if Congress went along with the hare-brained plan to cure inflation with more inflation.
Barack “Hope and Change” Obama is coming off as quite the hypocrite. This climate change alarmist and green energy carnival barker, apparently thinks the evils of fossil fuels only apply when you peons want to benefit from them.
Obama is in the process of trying to have three propane gas tanks installed, with a capacity of, wait for it, 2,500 gallons, at his $12 million Martha’s Vineyard property.
Apparently the Big O wants to make sure he’s equipped to deal with energy breakdowns, not that we have to fear them or anything like that with The Big Guy in charge.
Finally, Democrats in general are trying desperately to divert the public’s attention from our current inflation and economic problems. They are beating to death the Jan. 6 protest, notable largely for an unarmed woman being killed by a terrified House police officer, who shot her through a window beside a barricaded door.
You will hear “insurrection” used by Democrats –except those fomenting insurrection usually bring firearms to the party. The Jan. 6 protesters did not, at least not as far as anyone has been able to document.
Also, you may have noted that lapdog mainstream media have been slavishly running the Democratic committee Jan. 6 hearings (political lynching attempt), while also relying heavily on programming dealing with Watergate, a Republican political embarrassment that occurred not one, not two, not three, not four, but five decades back.
Meanwhile, these same Democrats and their mouthpieces can’t seem to work up the energy to cover the much more recent attempted coup attempt on Donald Trump by the FBI and various intelligence assets, the role in that by the Hillary Clinton campaign, and a subsequent election that slipped Joe Biden into office based on low probability outcomes and apparent outright fraud in various Democratic precincts.
If someone would dig up the corpse of Helen Reddy, it would have an ear-to-ear grin. She’s dead, but her Democratic philosophy of expedience isn’t.
