A New Song for the Democrats
The 1929 song “Happy Days Are Here Again” has been the unofficial theme song of the Democratic Party since FDR used it as a campaign song in 1932. But looking around at the filth-covered, crime-plagued dystopias that have been created in various cities and states by decades of Democratic rule, I think we can all agree that “Happy Days” are hardly the result of Democratic governance. In short, the party needs a new theme song.
“The Internationale” is a little too on-the-nose, so judging by the Party’s recent descent into widespread denial of reality and brutally-enforced self-delusion, I would like to suggest the 1939 tune recorded by everyone from Vera Lynn and Glenn Miller to Connee Boswell: “Wishing Will Make It So.”
Here’s a sample of the lyrics. Tell me if this doesn’t sound like the current “woke” DNC platform:
“Wishing will make it so…Just keep on wishing and care will go…Dreamers tell us dreams come true, It’s no mistake…And wishes are the dreams we dream when we're awake…”
Are you a man who wants to be a woman? Well, just say you’re a woman, and you ARE! Wishing will make it so! Don’t like the police? Fire them all, and crime will magically go down by itself! Are people being robbed, raped and murdered every day? Claim that’s all in your political opponents’ imaginations, and it miraculously goes away! Are there inconvenient facts about sleazy deals or dishonest and disastrous national health policies that might harm your electoral chances? Bully social media platforms into silencing any talk about them and they disappear! Is the economy struggling and hamstrung by inflation? Then declare inflation over and the economy booming, and they are! Were only 10,000 jobs created during the last quarter? Say a million jobs were created…and they were! Suffering horrific problems caused by an open border? Then insist that the border isn’t open, and abracadabra! It’s secure!
I could easily fill up the rest of this essay by just continuing with that last paragraph. The Democrats have become the denial of reality party. They make up new jaw-dropping fantasies faster than President Biden invents new jobs that he used to hold. The question is, how have they brainwashed so many people into actually believing this tripe?
The answer is that they really haven’t. They’ve managed to take over a number of cities and states by driving the reality-based community out, leaving behind almost nothing but their natural constituency: self-deluded radicals and people dependent on government. That’s now become obvious with the year-end release of the latest Census data showing the continued exodus of population from blue to red states.
Texas and Florida make up about 15% of the US population, but accounted for 70% of population growth. From July 2021-2022, the US population grew by about 1.2 million, but California lost over 343,000 residents to other states, and New York nearly 300,000. Blue states that are still showing population growth, like Washington, mostly owe it to foreign immigrants.
The new term for this is the “Texodus,” since so many are heading to Texas, but Scott McKay at Spectator.org also adds “Flexodus” to cover the huge migration to Florida. As he notes, those who were disappointed that New York voters kept reality-denier Kathy Hochul as their Governor when they could have saved the state by electing Lee Zeldin must understand that the rational voters he needed to win had already moved to Florida and gave Ron DeSantis a landslide victory.

But how long can this continual downward spiral continue? You’d think the people would revolt at some point, or the politicians would do something to head off the crash. But they won’t because, as McKay points out, this is planned. It even has a name: “Weaponized Governmental Failure.” Terrible leftist leaders like Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer and Lori Lightfoot want the productive, middle class people to move out because they actually expect results for their tax dollars and accountability from politicians. When they call 911, they think cops should show up. That’s not the Democrats’ model anymore. They hate normal Americans like that. They’re all in on maintaining power through identity politics, divisiveness, chaos, demonization and government dependence.
And if productive people leave and take their tax dollars with them? Who cares, as long as Democrats in DC keep taxing the productivity of red states and sending billions to failed blue states and cities?
The best thing that could happen to those blue states and the people in them might be forcing them to go through bankruptcy and get their houses in order, but that will never happen as long as Washington keeps refilling their troughs with other people’s money. There’s a way to stop that, but it will take a major change at the federal level, and not just of Democrats, but also some Congressional Republicans who are reliably complicit in the scam, as we’ve just seen.
Read McKay’s entire article. It’s a bracing blast of cold reality in a political world that’s been obscured by a fog of fantasy.
Majority say Democrat tax forms should also be released
A new Rasmussen Reports survey found that 54% of Americans say that the income tax forms of Democrats who voted to release Trump’s taxes should also be released. I’m sure they never imagined that anyone would expect the precedent they established to be applied to them.
A look back at 2022
Here’s wishing you a safe and happy New Year's Eve and a free and prosperous 2023! Now, before we blessedly put 2022 into the rear view mirror, here’s one last look back at it from humorist Dave Barry.

Democrats smash Trump’s legal right to privacy
The Democrats did exactly what everyone knew they would do if they were allowed access to former President Trump’s private income tax forms: they illegally released them to the public for no reason whatsoever other than political vengeance. But that nasty trick might blow up in their faces, and I want a seat in the front row when it does.

By smashing precedent and violating Trump’s legal right to privacy, they’ve set a new precedent, and now I and many other Americans want to see all of their tax returns, too. As expected, Trump’s tax returns showed nothing incriminating or embarrassing, other than he declared no income (big surprise) during a period when he left his corporate CEO job to be President and donated his entire salary back to the government (note: Biden keeps his, but then, just look at the job he’s doing and tell me he’s not worth $400,000 a year.)
According to Rasmussen, 54% of Americans think all the Democrats who voted to release Trump’s taxes should have their own taxes released, but I say, why stop there? I don’t care about Trump’s taxes; he actually got poorer when he devoted a few years to public service, which is what should be expected. I want to see the detailed tax forms of all the politicians who came into office without a lot of wealth and left as multi-millionaires. I want to know precisely how large a profit margin there is on influence peddling. They knocked down the walls of privacy just to get Trump, now let’s trample over the rubble and grab their private tax forms to see what they’ve been hiding all these years.
As expected, Bonchie at Redstate.com has some more entertaining comments on this topic.
