Ableist is the new “ist” word this week. It turns out that you’re a horrible person if you want people to be competent in their job. For all of those who came to Fetterman’s defense this past week, I bet that not one of them would hire him to be a personal spokesman. Or would hire him to represent them in court, or in a negotiation. But that’s exactly what a Senator should do. A Senator is, in theory, a spokesperson for the State they represent. A Senator spends hours in exhausting, word-twisting negotiations to craft legislation. So, I guess, wanting someone who is capable of doing that job makes me what I’ll call a Capableist. I expect that whoever is hired to represent the people is capable of doing the job. I can have sympathy for those who have diminished skills. After all, one day, that might be me. But it’s cruel to put someone into a job that is beyond their capabilities. I wouldn’t want someone to expect me to spend hours in intense communication to arrive at consensus – or fight bad legislation – after I had a stroke that greatly limited my ability to communicate. They tell us that the disabled deserve representation, too. Of course, they do. They deserve to be represented by someone capable of representing them with clear communication. If you disagree with me, then I suggest that you should hire Fetterman as a negotiator or spokesman, who will likely be unemployed after his stint as Lt. Gov. of Pennsylvania. After all, if it’s loving to hire the disabled into jobs they can't perform, then you should put your money where your mouth is.

Everyone involved in politics is involved for one reason and one reason only: they want influence. Influence doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Influence happens when you are near others, they can hear you, and they choose to listen to you. The great promise of social media is broader influence. Anyone can potentially reach millions of people. But when the social media companies choose to squelch your access to other people, by limiting your reach or even banning you from the platform, they limit your ability to influence. Elon Musk believes in free speech on social media platforms. He had the ability to buy a social media platform to stop those who stopped us. Conservatives and libertarians win arguments and converts when we’re allowed to present facts and have an open discussion. Here’s to our greater and greater influence. Can’t stop the signal.

Rush Limbaugh gave us many lessons, if we were listening. One was to never accept the premise from a leftist. Too often, we see our candidates get asked stupid things like, “You say we should drill and use fossil fuels, but what about climate change?” And then the candidate starts talking about climate change. A better answer would be, “I can see that you like fossil fuels. Everything you’re wearing, every device you’re using was made with the help of fossil fuels. I’ll take you and your question seriously when you come to me after truly living a life free of fossil fuels.” That’s rejecting the premise. It turns the question back on the person who asked it. Questions, especially those from the media, are designed to put our candidates on the defensive. Candidates need to master how to turn that around – and if you’re paying attention, Kari Lake does that every day. When asked, “If the NFL were to threaten that they’re going to pull the Superbowl [over her border stance], would it make you waver in your decision?” The border crisis begins and ends with the cartel, not with border security. Knowing that, Lake turned the question back around. “You want to tell me that a bunch of football teams owned by billionaires are okay with fentanyl pouring across our border at record level, killing our young people.” Now who is on the defensive? You could, therefore, say that Kari Lake has the greatest offense in the NFL. Remember: you don’t score points on defense. So go on offense.

Politicians who stay in office too long care more about you kissing their ring and enriching themselves than representing you and doing what’s right for your family. Kentucky’s Mitch McConnell and Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski are classic examples of that. Not only has Mitch McConnell defunded Arizona Good Guy for Senate Blake Masters, who would fight to secure the border and take the seat away from Democrat Mark Kelly, but he has thrown that money to his bosom buddy, the wretched Lisa Murkowski, who pushed “ranked choice” voting on Alaska – a system where you’re forced to vote for someone you don’t want to win. That’s how Alaska – a mostly Republican state – gave the pseudo-majority of the vote to a Democrat and not Republican Sarah Palin. That’s also how Murkowski plans to win re-election, because she’s horrible and not liked in Alaska. McConnell is funding Murkowski and not the official, chosen candidate of the Alaska Republican party, Kelly Tshibaka. If Republicans regain the Senate, Mitch would be its leader. And he will betray you, just as he has in the past, and just as he is currently. He doesn’t want a secure border or anyone representing the people. You worthless citizens... it’s about Mitch! Not you. No matter where you live. If there’s any justice, Masters, Palin, and Tshibaka will win and stuff Mitch. Besides, who doesn’t want Sen. Tshibaka. I mean, that’s epic.

If you believe that the laws we have should apply to everyone - even those in the government and Congress, then this is for you.
