The votes are there for a religious-right-wing government
With coronavirus floating around, medical care challenged in other ways, Hezbollah and Iranian dangers in the north, incessant and continual Hamas and Islamic Jihad (which in reality are the same thing) rocket-firing and balloon-bombing in the south, disastrous winter hurricane-style flooding in the north and central regions, it would have been nice to have had a government in place.
We Are All (Or Will All Be) Refugees
It’s great being a liberal. You don’t have to give much thought to your positions or the repercussions. Just come up with a catchy phrase that makes you feel good all over. Facing opposition to your positions? No problem. Just call them racists, sexists, homophobes, misogynists, fascists, supremacists, xenophobes, etc. The list is endless.

They all are despicable.

As is manifest from Trump’s yuuuuge crowds from Alabama to Iowa to everywhere else he goes, one does not have to be from 1950s Borscht Belt New York or of Orthodox Jewish orientation to “get” him. All it takes is an open mind and a sense of humor from a time in the not-so-distant past when people could joke about things and could say ridiculous and absurd things without being taken so literally and without being hunted down by the PC police.
New Hampshire Takeaways the Mainstream Media Missed
In the end, the polls of months ago that showed Biden the runaway winner, scoring 30 percent and more, were forgotten by election day. Mired in fifth place, he did not even break double digits.
