Post Election Thoughts, Some Quick Hitters - 11/12/2024

Mail in voting: I get that mail in voting is here to stay. Deadlines and processes need to be adjusted to make it work. Accepting mail in ballots received a week after the election? No. Accepting mail in ballots after Election Day with no postmark? No. I'm not a huge fan of drop boxes, either, but a mail in cutoff of 5 business days before Election Day, and making either early voting or drop box locations available afterward makes more sense to me.

Counting in AZ.

Still counting?: The only acceptable reason to be still counting today, one week after Election Day has passed is to do a recount in a race that was/is too close to ensure confidence in the outcome. Looking at you, CA, AZ, and PA. You should be embarrassed and ashamed.

Speaking of AZ, it's time to stick a fork in her. She's done.

Time to put Kari Lake on the bench, permanently: Kari Lake is articulate and attractive. She has also proven, hopefully for good, that the people of Arizona don't want her as their Governor or Senator. It's time to accept reality, Ms. Lake. You're done. That's why there's a fork in your back.

Trans agenda: The trans agenda hurt Democrats. Trump's advertising on the issue was devastating among some groups very important to Kamala Harris' chances. We can and must treat trans persons with love, kindness, decency, and respect AND at the same time recognize that genetic boys don't belong in girl's locker rooms or in girl's/women's sports competitions. Gender reassignment for minors is child abuse, and any action to advance gender reassignment of a minor without parental consent should be a crime and subject to criminal and civil punishment. This agenda is but one example of a political movement going too far. I saw an exchange from CNN where this guy went nuts because another panelist said Americans rejected boys in girls locker rooms and sports. How dare he misgender these 'girls'! Dude, you're the problem. When you wonder how she lost, look in the mirror.

Immigration and deportation: A couple of thoughts on immigration and deportation based on some stuff I read this morning and from my own thinking. Where and how to do deportation, and how to fund it? Start with the 1.5 million plus already slated for deportation by the Biden Administration. Add in any and every person here illegally who is guilty of violent crime, human, or drug trafficking. Plus, add in all those known to have criminal records from their country of origin. How to pay for it? Lemme put it this way: how much are we paying to pay for flights for immigrants, for housing for immigrants, for health care for immigrants, for food for immigrants, for cell phones for immigrants? Take the money from there and eliminate expenses associated with these deportees permanently. Should families be separated because a father or mother faces deportation? Not necessarily. As I've heard the incoming border czar, Mr. Homan say himself, we can deport the families together. Finish building the wall, please.
