Biden and Harris – Remember Yogi Berra

bidenJust a word of caution for Mr. Biden.  Unseemly, inappropriate, out of place, embarrassing, profoundly premature – is how he and Kamala Harris looked taking a victory lap, as states continue counting ballots, lawsuits are filed, election fraud averred, Supreme Court orders ballot sequestration, and Americans await Election 2020’s outcome.  Trying to gild the lily, force the issue, create expectations they hope are irreversible, is classless.  Asserting victory without victory is dishonest.

Just imagine if life worked that way.  Wannabe winners counted for winners.  Think on it.

Here we are, crowd shouting and on their feet at the 1980 Olympics, end of the second period, epic ice hockey game, Communist Soviets versus young, brash, take-no-prisoners American team.  At period break, Soviets hold a press conference – open champaign, declare victory.

Why not, scoreboard says 3-2 Soviets, they have media with them.  Then comes period three.  Red Army is shut down, cold, decisively – for good.  Americans score two – win the epic game 4-3.  Miracle on Ice, victory.  Oops.

Or maybe think route to World Series 2004, American League Championship, Red Sox versus the Yankees, one team clawing up by wildcard, other claiming to be best in baseball.  Think on it.  One team all heart, sweat, hope, fan base.  The other biggest payroll – most money shelled – doting media.

What happens?  Yankees all but run the table, 3-0 after three.  No team in baseball history has come back from a 3-0 deficit, not in playoffs – best of seven.  Red Sox might as well leave, Yankees have it.  Only no one tells the Red Sox they have no chance.  They think the series is on, until done.  With heart, they win four straight – advance to the World Series, run Cardinals off their feet in four.  Oops.

To quote the late, great Yankee catcher, Yogi Berra, “It ain’t over ‘til its over.”  Truer words were never spoken.  Ask someone like onetime mile record-holder, John Landy.  1956, mid-race, fellow runner Ron Clarke went down – Landy turns, helps him up, losing tens of yards.  Against all odds, with sheer determination, concern for others, will-to-win, Landy does the impossible – wins.  See the tape – because that spirit of never giving up, caring for others, and unbroken will-to-win matters. See, https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=john+landy+stops+to+help+famous+race+utube&docid=607990129048355280&mid=BE790DDD7DF06730A98DBE790DDD7DF06730A98D&view=detail&FORM=VIRE.

So, here is the simple point.   No one with dignity, depth, honesty, humility, and respect for the democratic process – would declare themselves winner before process had run course, until the third period was over, last game played, last lap finished, review final, outcome certified, electoral votes cast and counted, and Supreme Court review over.

But that is not Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, apparently not their character, their style, or their level of respect for the democratic process, co-equal branches, judiciary’s role in assessing if election fraud happened.  These are candidates who stood quiet as cities were torn apart, why should rule of law, completion of the election process bother them now?  Better to gild the lily, spin supporters, force the issue, intimidate the courts, enliven the media, assume victory – by asserting it.

Here is the kicker – That is not how we do things in America, not in the America that is America.  We respect our Constitution and three branches, their roles, and full election process.  We do not game it.  We prefer honesty, trust in outcomes, elections with that invaluable stamp of legitimacy, not the reverse.  A claim of victory reversed in period three, final game, last lap – is no victory.  Just a word of caution – for Mr. Biden.  Check out Yogi Berra – he knew about these things.

Joe Biden is so out of touch and weak. Why is his wife Jill putting him through all of this? Well she so wants to be first lady? Or maybe she wants to run the country? She and Harris will go head to head? How many people think they will run the country? We all know it won’t be JOE…

Thought provoking questions to Bill Barr, J. Durham & R. Giuliani & to the tech ‘weenies’ in/around Trump’s administration:

  • Where were the Dominion Voting Systems manufactured? USA – China, maybe?
  • Where was the “Dominion” software developed & manufactured, since those in Silicone Valley abhor everything about Trump?
  • Was the software ‘programmed‘ to flip Republican votes – did China work with them in that software development, hmmmm?
  • On Trump’s acceptance speech (yes, I do believe it will happen – eventually), he should televise, ON ALL NETWORKS, his thoughts of progressive liberals that are holding the ‘old school’ democrats hostage. He should point out that he, himself, was a long time democrat & bailed out of that system when saw his party veer off the cliff toward what it is now becoming – communism. Progressive liberals (another term for lovers of Karl Marx) don’t want to see their carefully crafted foundational anti-american values crushed, e.g.: Abortion – Sanctuary cities – Antifa – Schemes & dreams of government coup/overthrow at ANY cost, etc.,etc..
  • The impeachment process? The costs of that hoax should be tallied, divided evenly among all those involved & pay it back, in full, to our government coffers, ALL the taxpayer money that was used in this sad attempt to oust our President, Donald John Trump.
  • Try all those involved in that attempted coup should be brought up on charges of TREASON & prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. What about the Sedition Act? What about . . .
  • Bill Barr, John Durham & Rudy Giuliani – ARE YOU GUYS REALLY LISTENING?
  • There are many other related topics I want to vent on, so, until next time . . .
  • May GOD bless & keep America safe!

This article is garbage. Trump has lost and Biden and the Ho are going to the white house. Republicans and other conservatives have sat around and done little to nothing for many years. You have scum like Romney and the now expired Mccain and other Rino’s that have done everything they can to ruin this presidency. I truly believe that we are in a situation that we either need to have a large portion of conservatives to gather and force change through protest or it may be time to water the tree.

What gets my dander up is that these two wanted to crucify Donald Trump for claiming victory before the votes were tabulated – then THEY did it, themselves. The whole Democratic Party did it. The media did it. Slamming President Trump the whole time.

We who voted for Trump KNOW we did. We did it in great numbers, legally. Not by recruiting the dead, or fraudulent mail-in ballots by the carload. LEGALLY. Probably mostly IN PERSON – as I did, early, to make sure my vote got counted, because I’m taking care of my elderly parents and couldn’t depend on being able to get to the poll on 11/3. (And it turned out that I wouldn’t have.) We didn’t trust the lousy mail-in process, with all the opportunities for “losing” our ballots, or having them “transmogrified” into votes for Biden.

Now we hear of this Dominion software glitch. Software used in 28 states that changed Trump votes into Biden votes. Isn’t it funny that it never worked the opposite, turning Biden votes to Trump votes? I’ve NEVER heard of anything like that happening! I guess nobody bothered to invent software to do that, because Trump is so unpopular. HUH! I voted for him, and a whole bunch of other people did, too. I never heard of any massive rallies for Biden, of the caliber we saw EVERYWHERE for Trump.

Do I believe in ballot fraud? You betcha. Do I believe the Democrats practice it? You betcha. On a gigantic scale. How else do they “find” boxes of pure-D ballots, all voting for Biden? You can’t fill a ROOM with random people off the street who just magically agree on a topic, let alone who all vote for the same candidate. How are we supposed to believe that whole cities or counties did? I sure don’t.

Thank you Mr. Charles for this article. A big “YES” for clearly showing the character of these people. They say that President Trump “is rude by not conceding”, another untruth; but they definitely are rude, crude, dishonest, inappropriate for “a victory lap” without the continued voting procedure going through its proper and “complete” channels.

I will never accept the winners of our Presidential election are Joe & the HO! Both are corrupt hypocrites and Joe is up to his eyeball with Bosnia and China corruption and they are going to lead America you got to be kidding! With all the corruption, election scam and fraud involved and the closeness of this very important political race, a new ballot election is in order. Surely, they can get this right, We put a man on the moon in 1969.

Biden and Harris and their quick grab for the election reveals to me they want to have the election bestowed upon them before the count or “audit” is done. This shows to me they know they have cheated and want to just push this election horror under the rug and put themselves in place as the winners.

Not so fast, Joe. We still have election laws and procedures in the US.

The big media is fawning all over Biden and declaring him the victor. Magazine I saw has him as the next president with a big picture of him on the cover. I very much resent that when he has not been officially declared as such.

Yea imagine coming out way before even close to all the votes were counted and declaring yourself the winner haha. I could only imagine how embarrassing that would be. I’d probably find a big white house and hide for atleast a week.

Those two are the lead team in a 20 mule team pulling their wagon load of horrendously stupid supporters behind them. Notice, the Only thing Biden/Harris could talk about was Trump’s mythical bungling of the Covid response. No solid platform, only vague promises to fix the “lies, corruption, and damage” done by Trump. Ironic in that that line exactly describes what They have done for the last 12 years(and beyond).

Remember John Kennedy when all the dead in Illinois left the cemeteries and voted for Kennedy? It was later proven that there were more votes in Illinois than voters.
Remember the hanging chads? Thirty seven days and two trips to the Supreme court finally cleared up that attempt by the democrats and Al Gore didn’t get to be president.
It has taken years since Gore and four years of direct hits at the president for the Democrats to perfect the art of cheating. Create confusion, Create a long winding trail to the act of cheating. Have very sharp, devious, and dedicated criminals dedicated to the art of cheating. Democrats have to cheat, No way would loyal Americans, dedicated to our free society and the rule of law, follow the path to socialism that the New Socialist Party presents to citizens of the republic. Biden has never been on the side of moderate Americans. In fact he has been so busy lining his pockets and the pockets of his family he has hardly had time to pay attention to government. Should he, God forbid, attain the office will he have to return the millions he took from China and the Ukraine? Will he pay taxes on that money? Will he go to jail for treasonous acts and sending thousands of jobs to China? Is the Deep State real. Is the pope Catholic?

Read this story today, “During the first 2020 presidential debate in September, Joe Biden pledged that he would not declare victory in the election until the results were “independently certified.” Last week, Biden declared victory in the presidential election despite the results not yet being independently certified” Classless, yes, premature, also yes..

Total fools !! Nobody voted for these carnival barkers. Mindless Commies spent there time filling out illegal ballots to steal the election. This is what you get with a public school education. Total ignorance. Then off to Commie indoctrination in some over priced university. Trump won. And the truth will win out. And then we should send all these Commie lovers to China. And that dictator can use them for slave labor. And true Americans can get back to living their lives. After Trump sends all the criminal politicians to Gitmo for their treason, with trials and punishment. Never to be seen again ? just think no more filth and perversion. Law and Order once again. Boys can be boys and girls can be girls. Guess that might be to much to ask. But children should be able to have their innocence.

It’s shameful we’ve allowed the media to tell us what to do and who has won. Who are they but a bunch of shills for the Democrat Party. We just can’t allow them to run the country. They’re a bunch of Communist loving idiots who never did an honest days work in their lives. Remember the days when the press did their duty and investigated instead of the lazy, Twitter loving dopes we have to put up with now?

They have no decency or honor. Let them have this little “victory”, after all the ballots are recounted and President Trump is still president, it will be a big sour pill to swallow, and a lot of egg on their faces when we can all see the dishonest way they sort of “won” by fraud in the ballot counts. I pray that we are able to have honest elections in this country in the future. This is so sad that we the people have to be stressed out every time we vote not knowing what the democrats are up to. I hope those that did this dishonest stuff are prosecuted!!
Come on AG Barr DO YOUR JOB!!!

Biden is a puppet doing as he is instructed by his handlers (The people who are leading this coup). He is a stupid, morally challenged individual who is in way over his head. This entire victory claim was planned in advance and has been orchestrated to convince us that Biden/Harris was the official winner. And they plan to carry the fight to the streets after the courts decide that Trump actually won the election. “It aint over ’til it’s over,” but don’t expect the losers to “walk gently into the night” either. I guarantee the LEFT will not accept anything but a Biden / Harris victory – Period. So be prepared for the war that follows.

The Democrats don’t really care about the citizens of our country, they care about the power. They cleverly devised a way to ensure there was absolutely no way that President Trump could win this election by rigging the voting process itself. How? Well, they decided that mail in voting was the best way for them to get extra votes on their side or especially in the key electoral states. They full support at the state level because they needed the approval of each state in order to make the change and as you know, most if not all, of them were Dems. As we know, not only was mail in voting approved, but voting beyond Election Day was approved as well. First of all – none of it should have been approved – it is not constitutionally legal. They tried using COVID as an excuse, but if you can go to the hair dresser (Nancy Pelosi), than you can stand or sit in line and wait your turn to vote. You did that anyway if you voted early! If you could not vote via absentee vote and you felt it wasn’t safe for you to vote in person, than you should have sat this have one out. Just my feelings on this.

I am confident that President Trump will be the victor here, so we just have to wait and be patient. Kind of hard to do, but we shall wait. However, I believe that Candace Owen said this correctly on FB last night when she stated that the Dems are setting us up for a civil war. You know that once the nation hears that Donald Trump has been re-elected, the BLM and ANTIFA groups will have a reason (in their own angry heads) to go back outside and destroy and steal because that makes sense to them. If all goes their way – well than all is okay and good. However, if the other side gets their way – even though 85% of the country voted red (let them look at the maps), that is reason enough for them to become destructive in our streets. Makes no sense to me, but even though I am praying with all my heart that President Trump wins in the end, I am preparing myself to be mentally ready for the civil unrest that is to come.

I know Donald Trump is a true patriot and is honest about keeping America Great because honestly who would be able (want) to do what he is doing for our country, for us, for our families going forward? No one I know. Not one politician that I’ve seen so far. The few who are becoming stronger are do because they have a strong leader in Trump!!!

I’m glad we finally have a group who is looking out for Conservatives. THANKS AMAC!

I couldn’t agree more with this article’s theme: “It ain’t over till it’s over” to paraphrase the late, great Yogi Berra – catcher New York Yankees extraordinaire! What Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are doing reminds me of when Bill and Hillary Clinton left the White House after their terms expired: They took dishes and stuff (which didn’t belong to them) from the White House. My point is: A total lack of class. Biden and Harris are trying to do the same thing–by prematurely “stealing” an election–which is not over and won’t be until the Supreme Court says so.

Wonderful article. I appreciate the link to Landy’s epic run. I shed tears over the noble act; it added emphasis to the point you were making. The noble thing is to secure the validity of the win, no matter who wins, before celebrating; the narcissistic, greedy, selfish thing is to claim victory when it is not yet won.

Democrats today have no humbleness! Too much arrogance! They wouldn’t accept the 2016 results for 4 years! What pains me is that I get that the Democrat leadership are arrogant, immature and just plain weasels to me, but the Democrat voters don’t seem to care about the integrity of this election either! Are they saying it’s ok for the party to cheat? Are they not concerned that even if their guy wins, suspicions about how he did it errode the process for the future? If the tables were turned and Trump won but cheated as it appears fraud exists, the Democrats would be livid! They would be burning America down everywhere demanding recounts, etc!!!! And if that were the case, I would be demanding it too! I want integrity in the election process regardless of who wins. At this point, I pray Trump can pull this off but I’m not optimistic. I think the SC knows if they overturn this election, America will burn to the ground cuz Democrats are SORE LOSERS and CHEAT TO WIN!

While watching Fox News yesterday it was mentioned Elizabeth Warren wants to be Secretary of The Treasury and Bernie Sanders Secretary of Labor!!!! These two posts are so incredibly critical to America and we cannot stand by and let this happen! Laura Ingraham from Fox News made a very insightful observation. She said we can control a Spacecraft to Mars from 140 million miles away but America cannot get an election completed properly. I am comforted knowing that several DemonRats lost their seats to Republicans because old fashioned voters with values and common sense from both parties were scared of The Radical Left Agenda. President Trump and America are being put through the ultimate test and we need to keep praying. God Bless America!

If Biden(Mr. Bungles) wins, within’ six months his own people will turn on him. My greatest fear is Commie Kamala will take over. Then it’s only a matter of time when the militias through out the country will step in. I pray it never comes to that but, if it does, as a vet, I’m packin’.
