PELONI: Joan Swirsky offers an important glimmer of hope for a long term consequence to this short term electoral disaster. Teaching moments are important, and like when you were young, and came to be in an auto accident because you were driving too fast, or too irradically, or while too distracted, the lesson learned had a lasting effect. So, we will wait and see how far the Democratic control over the US legislature will bring America to resemble the fall of London and Paris, and how well the recent election choices will teach the future selves of Americans who voted to de-Americanize America that liberty is worth fighting for, and that the lesson of the canary in the coal mine has implications for far more than just the canary. Time will tell if this lesson might be learned in the coming years, but until that time for certain, America has allowed the fusion of its Marxist and Islamist enemies to rise to significant positions of power, and doing so will have a penalizing effect with only the presidential pen standing in their way of seeing America devolve further into the insanity which is today gripping and terrorizing all of Europe today.
The midterms’ results look ugly, but don’t lose heart.

Whether by a persuasive public relations campaign or suspect voting machines or a true attraction to socialism and communism and jihadism, the American people have spoken and have proven, not for the first time, that emotions are more powerful than the intellect.
What have the liberals, leftists, progressives among us demonstrated today — the midterm voting day in the USA — that they want?
- They want Big Government to take care of them.
- They want to embrace the noble and ongoing concept of fanatical antisemitism.
- They want to re-open our borders to all those drug-traffickers and sex-traffickers and jihadists and career criminals whom Democrats have a soft spot for.
- They want to try to punish those bad ol’ rich guys who run the world — but never the mega-rich globalists who fund their anti-American, anti-freedom campaigns.
- They want to encourage the coups d’état in Poland and around the world to effectively threaten them into complying with their one-world agenda…or else!
So goes the pendulum of history, occasionally wonderful for the voting populace but, in this instance, a study in colossal stupidity.
Obsession
Since the beginning of time, emotion has always been stronger than intellect.
Intellect is exciting, provocative, illuminating, and important. But emotion — that immense seat of feelings that dwells in the limbic system, the amygdala part of our brains, often overrules our better judgment.
This is largely because it makes us “feel” good, and, when one gets older, like a “good person.” Aren’t I virtuous? On the side of good? Against all those mean adults who want to invoke the rule of law and all those other mean things?
And who represents all those pro–law and order, closed-borders, pro-American values more consistently and powerfully than Donald Trump — all Make America Great Again, all pro-Israel, all the things that Democrats hate and detest?
From what I’ve read, President Trump accepts this vote. But guess what! He is still president and still capable of proposing — and hopefully enacting — policies that are good and great for our country.
Pyrrhic Victory
A Pyrrhic victory is generally defined as a success that brings such significant harm to the victor that it differs little from defeat.
But “whatever,” they will say, as they drape their heads and shoulders with keffiyehs and compliment themselves on their embrace of diversity.
Yes, they will follow through on their promise to impeach President Trump, the leader who has lived rent-free in their obsessed minds for the past over-ten years. And they will raise taxes, as all liberals do. And they will inflict Americans with more rules and regulations, as is their wont.
But life will go on. And in two more years, as Americans get yet another taste of liberal/leftist/progressive, and let’s not forget about communist so-called leadership, I predict a thundering success for the MAGA icon, the current secretary of State, Marco Rubio, as president of the United States!
