Iraq snapshot

Monday, January 6, 2025.   We're not tolerating political closets and let's outline exactly how much damage those closeted, non-Democrats did to the 2024 election while pretending that they were Democrats.


Friday, we were talking about the way forward (you can also refer to Wednesday's "2024: The Year of Betrayal From Inside The Left") and how we use this platform this year.  We're going to expand on that but two videos that went up here yesterday we are going to note at the top. 


First, THE MAJORITY REPORT.



Where are we going to take the show?  Sam asks that and it's something anyone with a platform should be asking.  Here?  We're not plaforming liars.  Last night, in "A crazy mistakes herself for Paul Revere," we noted crazy Jessica Denson.  We noted her before when she was with another outlet -- they have parted ways as she constantly insists, and we noted her a week or so after the election and noted that I was not interested in election lies.  She was going to get the results overturned because she knew this or she knew that.  And I noted that I would love for the results to be different but that they weren't.  And I noted that different results would mean we lived in a far less racist country than we do.


Last night, I get on, at a party, to do an entry and the public e-mail account is swamped with over 70 e-mails insisting that Jessica's latest video has to be covered.  It was garbage and I outlined why.  We are done with her.  

That's not the first person time we've had to wash out hands of people who are self-defeating.  Another group like that was noted by Rebecca in "the oklahoma trash behind 'i've had it' podcast" on Friday. 


We're also not noting you if you're in a political closet.  Meaning?  If I know you're not a Democrat but you're lying online that you are, I'm not interested in you.  DEMOCRACY NOW! brought on one Socialist after another to slam Kamala during the general election and they presented as Democrat.  That's how they lie. 


There's nothing wrong being a Socialist.  But a Socialist doesn't like Democrats.  That's why you see so much praise for Bernie Sanders.  The decades of racism, for example, slid right by.  It takes a Black YOUTUBER -- such as Roland Martin -- to tell the truth about Bernie that not White YOUTUBER wants to.  The left outlets attacked Kamala.  But they found time -- COMMON DREAMS, THE NATION, DEMOCRACY NOW!, THE PROGRESSIVE, etc  -- to praise Tim Walz?  Why?  They never told you and they want us to not know what happened or to not talk about it.  Now.  But in August Democratic Socialists of America bragged to the press -- and at their Twitter feed -- that they got Tim Walz on the ticket!!!! He was their guy!!!!  (Sabby Sabs might get noted again because, if you look, she called them out in a response on that official Tweet.) 


He was a lousy candidate.  The debate between vice presidential nominees is always about drawing blood.  Tim did not just fail to draw blood, he was an embarrassment.  Sweating on camera, looking like a stooge, not knowing what word he was about to say next as he struggle to speak.  An embarrassment.


Now ask yourself why these same outlets didn't tell you that?  Because he was their guy.  They, DSA insisted, got him on the ticket.


And they shielded him from any press critiques.  Rebecca was right, the governor o Kentucky was the way to go.  Not some looney tune who made Elmer Fudd look like a genius.  And that's before we get into all the lies -- or, if you prefer, "whoppers" -- he kept telling during the campaign.  We'll go into this more, I'm sure as the year goes along.


And we'll probably touch again on the SEP.  I've noted them, we've noted their publication, WSWS.  They are Socialists.  I have no problem with Socialists.  I do have a problem with Socialists who want to pretend that they're Democrats.  Say what you are.  The reason that they won't is because they know that'll cut their audience down and also make their arguments/lies be taken less seriously.


Some people get this, some people don't.  Kamala lost because of voter suppression.  Outlets on the left elected to attack her daily for three months solid.  They repeated lies about her -- Amy Goodman made a point to air the attack on Kamala's race from Donald Trump repeatedly and only one time did she bring on a guest to refute it.  They knew what they were doing and you need to know what they did and what they'll do again.  


Because of their actions, the electoral college with give the presidency to Chump later today.


We can't afford them.


And if you're feeling sorry for the fake asses -- include Jill Stein in that --we can go over the debate that the fake ass Uncommitted 'movement' carried out.  We can go over how they had Jill and Cornel there for a debate.  And we can go over how they refused to allow the SEP's presidential candidate to be on that stage.  How they lied to the SEP and claimed there would be another event but there wasn't.  The closet cases just didn't want an out Socialist on the stage.


We may also go into how certain Palestinian-Americas did the front work for Uncommitted while the true organizers like Norman Solomon hid in the background.


Does it matter?

Second, I said two videos, Hal Sparks.



Cenk and Ana.  


Ana says she didn't even vote for president.


Hmm.


Well the thing here is the grift.  And the thing here is that the grift is not new.  


I had a good friend decades ago who I haven't spoken to since because he was a Socialist who moved over to the right wing.  He was hurt and didn't do it for money -- move over to the right -- but he stayed there because of the money.  And I've seen that over and over.


Ana and Cenk are Socialists.  That's why Bernie was all over Cenk's campaign until one too many disgusting details emerged about Cenk.  That's why "Justice Democrats" came about -- Kyle and Cenk's Socialist election campaigns.  See Mike's "Yea for Sarah McBride, remember when Socialist Kyle Kulinski was for Jill Stein, and Idiot of the Week."


They lied to you.


And then, in 2024, they lied some more.


But they lied all along because they weren't Democrats, they were Socialists.


Ana got a JACOBIN podcast which people want to forget but it happened and it is why JACOBIN doesn't want to call her out on her right wing drift because she knows a little too much about Socialists in closets.  

They let Ana attack Katie Halper (also a Socialist) on their own podcast.  They didn't drop her then.  Even though she attacked Katie in a podcast where Ana's guest was Katie's co-host.


And that's another reason to dislike Katie.  She was attacked and she didn't say a word.  Acted like it didn't happen, acted like Nacho Noodlers or whatever the idiot's name was, hadn't joined Ana in attacking her.


She's pathetic.


But the point here is, right now everyone's noting how badly Cenk and Ana are betraying the Democratic Party and how they are stabbing it.


But people are still pretending that those two were Democrats.  They were not.  They're angry Socialists that are pimping the right wing.  The Max Blumenthal 'left.'


They are not helping the Democratic Party.


We'll note criticism in 2025 of the Democrats.  I'm sure I'll have plenty myself, but we'll note WSWS and others as well.  They can be of the left and we'll note them.  What we won't note is political closet cases because while we're trying to have an honest conversation, they're trying to trick and lie -- that's why they hide in their political closets.


If those who invested so much into Cenk and Ana over the years had know that the two were not Democrats, that they were Socialists, Cenk and Ana wouldn't have gotten away with as much.


Which brings us to the fake assery of BREAKING POINTS.  Apparently, even they realize that they went too far too early.  Which is why they're now burying a video they posted over the weekend.  You can't find it at their YOUTUBE site.  But it existed and Socialist -- not Democrat -- Briahna Joy Gray was the guest and she Tweeted about it:


Will the Democrats learn anything from their 2024 defeat?


@briebriejoy

 says don’t count on it.


“They will do this quick mea culpa and then it’s going to be back to business as usual”


WATCH: http://youtu.be/cMeCKzOAmKM


Imagine that, before Chump's even declared the victor in the election, BREAKING POINTS is already telling you that Dems will sell out.


Why is that?


Because they're not Democrats.


People wrongly thing because of creepy guy being a Republican, that the show is about a Republican and a Democrat having conversations.  It's a bigger fake assery than CROSSFIRE on CNN ever was.


We stopped noting them because Saagar was scapegoating gay men (glass houses?) over Monkeypox and then Krystal did her order that all must support Marianne Williamson -- you know, Krystal and Kyle's wedding guest that neither wanted you to know that fact?


I'm tired of liars.  Bri is not a Democrats. She's a Socialist.  So she was brought on to attack the Dems and by not explaining who she really is, it comes off much differently to the viewers.  Titsy another Socialist.  I'm glad she finally learned to wear a bra.  I know Rania's streaming numbers dropped when she did but no one needed her delivering 'news' in tight shirts, no bra while she jumped around.  Yes, she really was that pathetic.  And who is she with now?


Oh, that's right: BREAKING POINTS.


Rania is not a Democrat.  And let's go to one of her Tweets at random. 

This is what Trump surrogates told Arabs in Dearborn, while Harris refused to even meet with them and kept insulting them. 


It’s likely untrue, but his campaign repeatedly told Arab Americans they would stop the wars. 


So if you want to be mad at someone, be mad at the Democratic Party for appealing to racists and republicans instead of their actual base and those hurting from a Democrat sponsored genocide.

At a Trump event in Dearborn, Michigan former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell told me Trump will not appount Mike Pompeo or John Bolton or Jared Kushner to any role and said Amos Hochstein & Brett McGurk would get the boot.

Rania lies about who she is politically and lies about everything.  Kamala Harris did meet with Palestinian-Americans -- including Rashida Tlaib's sister.  But there's Rania lying because a Socialist will tear apart a Democrat with lies.  And many people know that which is why so many Socialists on the left lie about who and what they really are.


But look at that Tweet within a Tweet.  Rania Tweeted it.  As truth.  She Tweeted Trump's lie as truth.  That he would be better for Palestine.


Starting get why she had to use her (average size) breasts for attention for most of her career?


They're liars and we can't afford them.  So they're not going to be noted.  BREAKING POINTS is a Socialist platform that hides who they really are.  They have right-wing Republican hosts who attack the Democratic Party and then they bring on the 'left' to attack the Democratic Party and never once let you know that these people are not Democrats.


It's a grift and it's a con.  


And you're seeing the end results right now with Cenk and Ana.  This is how it ends.  We don't need to repeat this in 2028 or, for that matter, 2026.  It's time to send a message that we will not let them stay in the closet and misrepresent who they actually are as they try to destroy the Democratic Party.


No.  


Not going to happen.

 

And by eliminating the liars, we might be able to have an honest conversation.  


Elaine served up some honesty on Friday:


Can they stop lying about the 2024 election?

That idiot James Carville is yammering away with more lies.  I just wonder when can we get honest about this past election?  C.I.'s "2024: The Year of Betrayal From Inside The Left" delivered a ton of honesty.  At one point, before she edited it down (to a little over 11,000 words), she talked about the percentage and how  people were being ahistorical about it to argue for their nonsense -- 'Dems should turn their back on trans rights!' and other nonsense.  


So let's talk about that.

Let's start by noting the AP count for 2024's presidential election popular vote and we're looking at the percentage:

1.5%.  That was the percentage that Chump won by.  

Let's drop back to 2004:

Popular vote 62,040,610 59,028,444
Percentage 50.7% 48.3% 


50.7% to 48.3%


Do you remember that?  Bully Boy Bush won.  John Kerry lost to him by 2.4%


Let's to back another 20 years.


Popular vote 54,455,472 37,577,352
Percentage 58.8% 40.6% 

Ronald Reagan won.  He got 58.8% of the vote to Mondale's 40.6%. Reagan won by 18.2%


Popular vote 43,129,040 27,175,754
Percentage 61.1% 38.5% 


LBJ won with 61% of the vote.  That's 22.6% that he beat Barry Goldwater by.


Are you getting the point yet?  We're focusing on percentages because they don't change.  The number of those voting. 


Chump won.  That's the story at the end of the day and I'm not trying to pretend it's not.

But the hand wringing that's taking place and the nonsense of Seth Moulton, James Carville and others is not about the results.  If we're talking about results, the totals don't call for massive changes.  


Chump is not going to make our lives better.  Four years from now, the country will want a new direction.  That includes those who voted for Trump.


Kamala got 1.5% less votes.  The most likely reason for that is because of the non-stop attacks that THE NATION, COMMON DREAMS, THE PROGRESSIVE, DEMOCRACY NOW! and others carried out on Kamala from August through the end of October.  It's past time for that to be addressed. 


Kamala performed amazingly well considering that elements of the left media -- non-Democrats -- worked to dampen enthusiasm for her campaign every single day.  That's reality.  And that can never happen again.
