Jim Pillen: Failure
He may have cost the GOP the Presidency!

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen is a national disgrace! History has a tendency to only remember the greats, so it is very likely that history will forget about Jim Pillen entirely. In the rare event he isn’t forgotten the second he leaves office, it will likely be as a result of Kamala Harris winning the presidential election by one singular electoral vote - that from Nebraska’s second congressional district, all but ensuring he will be remembered as the failure, the joke, and the man who couldn’t seize the moment because of his own weakness.

Governor Pillen's Missed Opportunity:

In the heartland of America, where cornfields stretch to the horizon, a political battle has been brewing that could have shifted the tides of the national election strategy. Nebraska, one of only two states that can split its Electoral College votes, has become the latest battleground for electoral system reform. However, despite the vigorous push from former President Donald Trump, conservative political pundit Charlie Kirk, the Nebraska Freedom Coalition, and many other local Nebraskan GOP leaders, Governor Jim Pillen's efforts to revert Nebraska to a winner-take-all system have fumbled. This is now his legacy.

The endeavor to change Nebraska's unique system, where electoral votes can be split based on congressional district wins, was not just a matter of state politics but carried implications for presidential elections. Governor Pillen, taking cues from national Republican figures, aimed to unify the state's electoral power behind one candidate, ostensibly to bolster the GOP's chances in the 2024 election.

In a very possible outcome, with President Trump winning the sunbelt states of NV, AZ, GA, and NC, and Harris with a stronghold on the rust belt states of PA, WI, and MI, the entire election could hinge on Nebraska’s second congressional district. If Harris wins NE-02 + the rust belt, that secures her the 270 votes needed to take the Presidency. If President Trump wins the sunbelt + NE-02, that would take the election to a 269-269 tie, sending it to the state legislatures. Since republicans hold more state legislative majorities than democrats, we could reasonably assume Trump would win the election.

However, this move towards Winner Take All was met with resistance, from Democrats and weak Republicans who lack even the slightest note of courage. Scared of “controversy”, “election interference”, and “disrupting the status quo”, the complacency of Nebraska Nice politics is a shining example of how Nebraska Republicans care more about the next Husker Game than they do saving our republic.

Governor Pillen's strategy to potentially call a special legislative session was seen by many as a last-minute rush, lacking the groundwork needed for such a significant change. Critics argue that Pillen underestimated the complexity of Nebraska's legislative process and wonder why he didn’t prioritize such an important issue earlier in the year. Allowing for a split in electoral votes is highly irregular in the American electoral system. After one failed special session for property tax reform, Governor Pillen tried to shirk his responsibility by stating he would only call a special session if 33 votes were secured publicly & prior to the session being called.

The failure lies squarely on Pillen's shoulders for several reasons: Pillen failed to secure the necessary support within his party, a strong leader like Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, would not have struggled to secure the support. Despite having a Republican majority, the weakness of Nebraska’s elected Republicans was unmatched. His inability to convince even a handful of GOP senators speaks volumes about his “leadership” or perhaps his persuasive power.

Looking Forward:

The fallout from this failure might not just be a missed opportunity for the GOP in national elections but could also reflect on Governor Pillen's leadership within Nebraska. While his intention might have been to strengthen the Republican presidential candidate's chances, the execution has highlighted a disconnect between the Governor's office and the legislative body.

In politics, timing, consensus, and perception are everything. Governor Tim Pillen's push for a winner-take-all system in Nebraska, lacked finesse in these areas, leaving the state's electoral system unchanged and perhaps teaching a lesson in the art of political maneuvering. For now, Nebraska remains one of the few states to not properly represent the people’s voice in the Electoral College, a missed opportunity both for our country and for the good people of Nebraska. From now on, when you read the name Jim Pillen, you can replace it with the word “failure.” He will remain a failure until he can correct this massive blunder. Though too late for 2024, let’s hope he can fix this, for the good people of Nebraska, in time for the next election.

If Republicans acted like "Free Palestine" protestors. (Video)

Let's pretend for a second that Republicans were acting even HALF as badly as the "Free Palestine" protesters.

Let me know in the comments how you think the media would be reacting.

They call themselves a “resistance” LOL

The Gay Republican makes a great video highlighting how the left has become the pro-corporation party.

We aren't "Far Right"
Democrats left us behind.

What’s wild is that some people act like I’m some crazy right winger but my exact views in the 1990’s would have had me as a Democrat. The Democrats have just changed so much that center to center right people like me appear “far right”

I believe in gay marriage. This was typically a Democrat issue, but recent polling shows 50% or more of both parties now support gay marriage.

I believe in maximum person liberties for the individual and free expression. If you want to be trans, more power to you… the issue starts when you try to confuse small kids with trans ideology. These are very heavy topics and kids simply don’t understand them. Again, 1990’s Democrats never would have agreed to having these topics taught to small kids.

I believe that we should be a nation with a balanced budget that doesn’t overspend. One of the good things Bill Clinton is known for was balancing the budget.

I believe in common sense border security. Stopping illegals from entering the nation is just good policy. Even Hillary Clinton and Obama campaigned on deporting illegals. It only became taboo VERY recently. Joe Biden let in over 10 million in 4 years. That is INSANE!

I am pro-life and one thing people seem to forget is that there used to be pro-life Democrats. The issue didn’t used to be so divisive. People were able to have rational conversations. Democrats ejecting pro-life people from their party is again post Obama.

I believe in the US having strong trade deals that benefit the US and more specifically the working people of the US. My hometown used to be an industrial powerhouse before I was born, but terrible trade deals hallowed it out and unleashed terrible poverty. That wasn’t just my hometown but towns all across the country. This didn’t just happen. It was a result of our nations failed trade policies which allowed good jobs to just go overseas. Again, this is not a far-right position.

On war, I believe we should be destroying groups like the Houthis because they are literally attacking our ships and I don’t believe that we should ever allow groups to attack us and get away with it, but in the bigger sense I am very anti-war. This is again, a position that used to be championed by Democrats but is no longer. I’ve been advocating that we need to end the Russia/Ukraine war for years and Democrats have been telling me all about how we need to keep fighting! In fact, there has been a militant reaction to the very idea of peace… from Democrats!

My views are pretty center and mainstream. The Democrat party’s views are the ones that are unpopular and that’s why they will keep losing until they come back towards the middle. The center should not be considered the far right.

The Democrat Party is Dead!
They just don't know it yet...

Ladies and gentlemen, gather ‘round the funeral pyre, because the Democrat Party is officially on life support, and I, for one, am positively giddy to deliver the eulogy. The once-mighty blue machine is crumbling faster than a stale cookie, and their tried-and-true smear tactics are about as effective as a squirt gun in a forest fire. They’re flailing, they’re failing, and they’re blissfully ignoring the giant elephant in the room—or should I say, the giant Republican elephant stomping all over their voter registration numbers!

Let’s talk numbers, shall we? Republicans are racking up voter registration wins. From the crimson depths of the red states to the smug, kale-chugging shores of the bluest blue, the GOP is on a tear. And get this—California, yes, California, the land of avocado toast and sanctimonious Prius drivers, is seeing Republicans outpace Democrats at a breakneck speed. If the GOP is flexing this hard in the Golden State, just imagine the carnage they’re unleashing nationwide. It’s a red wave so big it’d make Noah jealous.

Take Pennsylvania, for instance. The Keystone State is practically begging to slap a “Majority Republican” sticker on its forehead by the next Presidential election. Democrats used to clutch that state like a security blanket with their million-plus voter advantage, and now? They’re sweating bullets trying to hold on. It’s like watching a toddler lose a tug-of-war match to a linebacker—adorable, but oh-so-predictable. The blue grip is slipping, and I’m over here popping popcorn for the show.

Zoom out to almost any state, and the story’s the same: Republicans are running away with it like they’ve got rocket boosters strapped to their backs. Meanwhile, Democrats

 

 

are too busy slinging mud to notice their party’s coast-to-coast collapse. Why, you ask, is this glorious implosion happening? Oh, let me count the ways. First, their immigration stance is so unhinged it makes a clown car look sensible—border security and deportations are hot, and they’re out here pretending open borders are still a vibe. Second, they’re obsessed with shoving unpopular social experiments down our throats, like men dominating women’s sports. Spoiler alert: nobody’s cheering for that.

Third—and this is where it gets juicy—Democrats can’t even muster up a single positive thing to say about themselves. Why? Because they know their policies are about as popular as a skunk at a picnic. So instead, they just shriek and smear their enemies like a pack of rabid hyenas. It’s toxic, it’s tired, and it’s turning voters off faster than you can say “cancel culture.” And fourth, let’s not forget their decades-long crusade against men and white people—congratulations, geniuses, that chickens come home to roost, and it’s pecking your eyes out.

The Democrats are losing because they’re a hot mess of bad ideas wrapped in a toxic tortilla. Their policies suck so hard they could star in a vacuum cleaner infomercial. But sure, keep screeching about Elon Musk and his evil genius while Republicans quietly scoop up voters like it’s a Black Friday sale. The voter registration war is a bloodbath, and the Dems are bringing butter knives to a bazooka fight.

So here we are, watching the slow, delicious demise of a party that’s earned every ounce of its misery. They’ve spent years alienating everyone who doesn’t sip their woke Kool-Aid, and now they’re shocked—shocked!—that the bill’s come due. Keep digging that grave, Democrats. The Republicans will be over here, winning, gloating, and probably building a wall around your irrelevance just for kicks. Rest in pieces, blue crew—you deserve it.
