November 19, 2021 --

Thanks to Councilman Eric Dinowitz …

LPR's travail with the MTA continued when the replacement card was refused at MTA vending machines,  Fortunately, LPR had on hand a temporary MTA card. LPR phoned the office of Councilman Eric Dinowitz and the staffer said he would intercede with the MTA to get a replacement for the replacement. That card arrived November 13 and LPR expects, thanks to the good offices of Councilman Dinowitz, that after six weeks, he finally has a senior citizen's subway card that will work at the MTA vending machines. provided they do not breakdown.  LPR wonders if the reason subway booth personnel are no longer adding value on MYA cards is because they will be...discontinued.   To be replaced by what...robots?

 

Concerning Rep. Liz Cheney …

This month, Ms. Cheney returned to the news with a report that the Wyoming Republican Party no longer considers her to be a Republican.  BUT, according to a reliable Wyoming GOP source, Ms. Cheney can still run in the Republican primary to seek re-election to the House on the Republican line.  Of course, the situation would become complicated were the House Republican Conference to agree with Wyoming Republicans that Ms. Cheney is no Republican. So far, Ms.Cheney continues as vice chair of the  Pelosi select panel to find Trump supporters guilty of political heresy. LPR has concluded that Pelosi has transformed herself into the Grand Inquisitor, with Rep. Cheney serving as an assistant inquisitor.  (Please and answer the LPR poll question on this subject.)

 

Just wonderin' …

If Joe Biden is truly a man of the people, why has he not spoken out against the usurious interest rates on credit cards that his home state, Delaware, allows banks to impose on the backs of hard-working Americans.   If anyone wanted to point to an example how the wealthy get wealthier and the poor get poorer, just take a look at the formerly usurious, thus formerly illegal interest rates on credit cards, interest rates that amount to a government-approved private tax on the Struggling Class.

 

On the other hand …

LPR's mind is boggled by the nomination of Saule Omarove to be Comptroller of the Currency.  With her call for the bankruptcy of the fossil fuel industry, Ms. Omarova has indicated that she is indeed a Leninist.  How could Biden name a Leninist to such an important position, given Lenin's belief that the way to overthrow the capitalist system was to debauch the currency?  Or is Biden not in charge of his administration bur fronting for Leninists?  What could be a better post for a Leninist intent on overthrowing capitalism by debauching the currency that Comptroller of the Currency.  Senate Republicans, where is your resourceful and effective opposition to this bizarre, anti-MAGA, nomination?

 

Speaking of Republicans in House and Senate …

Where is your stalwart and effective opposition to the unconstitutional FBI raid on the home of James O'Keefe, guiding light of Project Veritas?  Where is the letter from the House Republican Conference to the attorney general denouncing such police state tactics?   And where is the letter from the House Republican Conference to Grand Inquisitor Pelosi demanding that she terminate, forthwith, her unconstitutional select panel to root our Republican heretics and declaring all subpoenas issuing from such faux panel null and void ab initio?   House Republicans, it is time to stand up in defense of liberty.

 

November 5, 2021 --

Here is a line for House and Senate Republicans to use to explain the Democrat way of communicating to the voters:

Screech and be shrill.

 

A Thought on November 2, 2021, Election Day …

Hasn't Election Day been transformed by the radical left into Election Days?

Whatever happened to the principle: One Day, One Vote?

Isn't it far easier to cheat with Election Days (and batches of mailed-in ballots)?

 

This will never happen dep't …

DeBlasio says he will run for governor

 

On the NFL …

Although LPR roots for Buffalo, he hopes Derrick Henry recovers from his leg injury to meet the Bills in the AFC championship game (with the Bills going on to the Super Bowl)

And how about Mike White leading the Jets to a 34-31 upset win over the Bengals.  Has he taken the quarterback job from the injured Zach Wilson?

 

Totalitarianism flourishes where reality is denied …

As the Woke movement denies reality, it is a form of totalitarianism and, therefore, a grave threat to the American spirit of freedom.

 

A comment from Florida governor Ron DeSantis (quoted at Breitbart) …

"But bottom line, we’ve got a lot of things we’re facing. We’ve now seen after Virginia, people are willing to fight back,” he said to cheers, adding that he, too, is “willing to fight back.”

The Florida governor might have pointed out that Donald J. Trump has always fought back. In part, that's why the radical left hates him so much.

 

Harper address to the Knesset, January 20, 2014 …

Can't be much more pro-Israel than this text.

Here is the link the address to the Israel Knesset from Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper, January 20, 2014. This warm address from Mr. Harper was given in the days of the cold treatment given the State of Israel by President Barack Obama, whose cold treatment looks to be even colder from President Biden and his aides.

LPR Doesn't Disagree with Putin on Woke-ism …

Here is a link to a speech that could be given by President Trump had he been re-elected. That it was given by Russian President Vladimir Putin, October 21, will probably lead to claims, by the Trump-haters, that this address is evidence of continued collusion between Messrs. Putin and Trump. LPR does not disagree with Mr. Putin's point that racial identity is divisive, not unifying, nor with his criticism that  pressing transgenderism on children is "monstrous" and a "crime against humanity." The address was delivered at the 18th annual session of the Valdai Discussion Club, a Russian think tank, established in 2004, held this year in Sochi, on the Black Sea, and site of the 2014 winter Olympics.

Election Day - shortly past 9a.m. Hardly any voters at this Bronx polling place. Maybe most people voted early? Or maybe most people, certain of the NYC mayoral result, won't bother to vote at all.
