Earlier: McConnell Refuses To Prioritize Defending America’s Own Borders Over Ukraine’s
Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell is in the news…again. Blake Masters, the losing GOP Senate nominee in Arizona, says McConnell should be deposed for shifting campaign spending from Arizona to Alaska, where—bizarrely—he used it to attack GOP Senate nominee Kelly Tshibaka on behalf of independent incumbent Lisa Murkowski, a Trump impeacher whom McConnell apparently regards as a personal ally.

Masters, of course, is about the only Republican wo dared raise the issue of affirmative action.
As Washington Watcher II wrote
“Quite probably, fear of being called racist is the reason. Masters faces a bevy of racism accusations for questioning diversity and Affirmative Action. Most Republicans would crumple and do everything in their power to avoid such attacks. Fortunately, candidates like Blake Masters ignore the attacks and focus on a strong message.”
That’s one reason, by the way, that GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell’s yanking $8 million of advertising in Arizona is so incandescently stupid [Mitch McConnell-backed GOP super PAC cancels nearly $10M in ad buys in Arizona, Alaska ahead of midterms, by Landon Mion, Fox News, August 27, 2022]. Just one Republican candidate has the courage to raise an obviously winning issue, but the bright bulbs in McConnell’s PAC respond by delaying ads in a race in which the candidate is just a few points behind in the polls.” GOP strategery at its best!
Some, including former President Trump, appear to be continually surprised by the lurches to the racial left made by powerful Republican Senators and most prominent among those lurchers is McConnell [Trump scolds Mitch McConnell as GOP Senate majority becomes unlikely after Democrats keep crucial Arizona seat, by Lawrence Richard, Fox News, November 11, 2022]. He’s been Leader of the Senate GOP since…the Civil War? No, actually, since just after the expulsion of Trent Lott after an unfortunate 2002 birthday celebration he held for Strom Thurmond of South Carolina; and after the worthless term of his hapless “Bush-special-order” replacement William Frist.
Many of McConnell’s views are not publicized, and are often obscured by anodyne “pacify the bubba” comments. But they are most openly evident in the candidates he is willing to support with the massive campaign fund at his disposal or, presumably, the bills he blocks.
And, studying these, his views come out into full view.
For ol’ Mitch, some days it is support for caudillo-capitalist mass immigration of low-skill immigrants perfectly suited for lawn cutting at River Oaks Country Club in Houston and other similar venues—gotta keep those greens fees under control!
Other days, it is virtual abasement of white interests to black. As if any blacks other than any still in slavery in Kentucky could ever be coerced to vote Republican in any case. Like abandoning Blake Masters because he urges an end to Affirmative Action.
On another day in 2018 it was, it seems, quietly working behind the scenes to fund the trashing of immigration patriot Kris Kobach’s primary run for US Senate from Kansas. See GOP Establishment Pours Millions Into Backstabbing Kris Kobach .
On other days, it is pushing for McSally and Loeffler against immigration patriots in the Republican primary in Georgia.
At another, more recent, incredible day, it is a trashing of current Republican candidates as exhibiting a lack of “candidate quality”.
Virtually all those candidates are immigration patriots or buck the BLM/Woke madness. Presumably McConnell’s ideal candidate is Mitt Romney.
And then of course sending enough money to Ukraine to defend its border—money more than sufficient to build a good defensive network (wall, if you will) on our Southern Border.
Unfortunately, in Mitch McConnell’s typical year, there are a lot of “other days”.
People seem surprised at this. How could a nominally conservative Republican, responsible in significant part for the current Supreme Court, be so inconsistent?
Weeeell…maybe the inconsistency is the small number of bones he throws to the dumb honkeys who keep him in office—namely us. Maybe the rest of the time he is completely consistent. With his own past, that is.
Let’s take a look at the “Mitch McConnell Story” as compellingly told by Wikipedia.
Mitch was born in Georgia in 1943, moved around the ol’ South, when his family finally settled in Kentucky. Now, a boy like that, you figure, wasn’t he gonna be a little more George Corley Wallace than otherwise?
Not quite. Though he probably was the only white male in the South not in the pay of the NAACP to do so, at 19 he high-tailed it to Washington DC in 1963 to hear Martin Luther King give his famous speech on the Mall. Yes, that one. Even Massachusetts liberals like John F Kennedy did not want MLK to hold this event, and, yet, good ol’ boy Mitch, son of the South, actually travelled 500 miles to hear it in person! Heck, there were lefty Democrats in DC that hibernated and probably hired armed guards for that week.
Then he went to work for probably the most liberal Republican ever to hold office apart from Thaddeus Stevens—John Sherman Cooper. Nothing morally wrong with that. Cooper was a tremendously upright man, of great intellect, with vast experience in foreign affairs, emissary to foreign lands on behalf of three Presidents. However he was no conservative. As Senator from Kentucky, he voted for the Civil Rights Acts of 1958, 1964, and 1969 plus the Voting Rights Act of 1965— sort of the quadruple crown of Civil Rights, in those days. Now, in fairness, after 70 years it is easy to criticize, but I am sure John Sherman Cooper thought, as many whites living in rich all-white areas did, that he was doing God’s, or at least the Late President Lincoln’s, work. Remember, they actually thought forced integration was good in those days, though none ever thought it would happen to them.
Then Mitch right went off and married a lovely young lady named Sherrill Redmon so radical that today she is described as a feminist scholar at Smith College (since retired). Of course, who knows, perhaps at Smith, Smith being what it is, she is viewed as a “risen again” Enoch Powell. But I doubt it.
In fact, famed feminist Gloria Steinem, who has worked closely with Ms. Redmon since her divorce on a woman’s oral history project, helpfully pitched in, telling The New Yorker that
“Redmon never talked about her ex-husband. She said: “Despite Sherrill’s devotion to recording all of women’s lives, she didn’t talk about the earlier part of her own… I can only imagine how painful it must be to marry and have children with a democratic Jekyll and see him turn into a corrupt and authoritarian Hyde.” (Emphasis added.) [How Mitch McConnell Became Trump’s Enabler-in-Chief, by Jane Mayer, April 12, 2020]
Maybe Miss Steinem need not have worried so much. McConnell voted for extensions of the Voting Rights Act in 1986 and in 2006, just before becoming Majority Leader. A death warrant for his party.
At this point, we have almost a Saturday Night Live caricature of the rise of one more l eft wing Democrat. Except this guy is supposed to be a Republican! It is only due to the magic power of our modern mass media that he is perceived as Steinem’s words—an “authoritarian Hyde”.
In any case, after three daughters, he divorced (or was divorced from) the professor and went on to marry another lovely lady, Elaine Chao (not “Chow”, Mr. Trump, shame on you) who just so happened to be a member of a mainland-descended Chinese millionaire shipping family with super close connections to you know who—yes, the CCCPC, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Or, at least, so it must be assumed, since Elaine’s equally lovely sister now serves as President of the family company and is, or was, on the board of the China State Shipbuilding Company, which builds ships for, among other worthy customers, the People’s Liberation [aka Chinese] Navy,
According to investigative journalist Peter Schweizer:
“it creates a circumstance where, if Mitch were to do something that Beijing didn’t like, [the Chinese government] could literally destroy the [Chao] business overnight.” Schweizer: McConnell Linked to Chinese Communist Party Through Wife’s Family , by Neil W. McCabe, Tennessee Star, February 2, 2022.
However, on the good-news front, the family loved Mitch. In fact, they loved him so much that shortly after his ascension to the post of Majority Leader (just a coincidence) they gave him a gift of property whose value has been estimated to be $5–25 million. (Politico, June 12, 2009).
Now that’s a family we’d all like to be part of!
If Hollywood scripted a movie like this, with this guy becoming Republican Majority Leader, they’d laugh but say “Hey, it’ll be a flop. No-one’s gonna believe it”.
Well, in any case you gotta admit Mitch has thrown some bones to us peasants. He kept our own Felix Dzerzhinsky, Merrick Garland, off the Supreme Court. Good. But he didn’t keep him from being Attorney General. Not so good. So, I guess we traded a ban on abortion (that is, if you wanted one) for a police state. Hmmm…
Perhaps there will be other benefits. Speculative at this point.
Let’s be blunt. The takeaway is clear: Mitch McConnell his whole life has been a racial radical, fundamentally on the left, with instincts disastrous for his own people and his nation. An Eldridge Cleaver in drag with a tax-cut policy. Frankly, like so many other limousine liberals. Why are we surprised at what he does now?
Perhaps the GOP needs a counterintelligence arm that can weed people like McConnell out before they join the party. Of course, if it did, would there be any Republican Senators left?
And, anyway, the CIA supposedly had a counterintelligence unit in 1979 when they interviewed a relatively low-IQ New Jersey Irishman whose most recent Presidential vote (by his own admission) was for Communist Party chairman Gus Hall. They hired him.
His name was John Brennan. Remember him?
With guys like “CCCPC Mitch” and “Red John” at the wheel, how can we lose?
Sleep well.
Email Albemarle Man.
Good essaym very useful for the early life part, and including citing Peter Schweizer; it’s No Accident Mitch McConnell is prominently in the very front of his 2018 Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends.
Not that I’ll ever defend the traitorous McConnell, but there’s a couple of background facts and suppositions to 2022 that for me cause his behavior to make a little more sense.
First and most obvious, Democrats in Arizona and other states will do their best to cheat on the election of more any statewide Republican candidate (in Georgia though I think they’ve established for now a codominium with its state GOPe). Pulling money from Blake Masters probably meant they just had to cheat a little less.
Less obvious, it was clear by various actions from imposing more gun control on us to ally Lindsey Graham introducing a bill “that would ban most abortions nationwide starting at 15 weeks of pregnancy” in the middle of September after the Supreme Court ruled that topic belonged to the states that that the Senate GOPe didn’t want to win. I assume because we’d then expect results they have no desire or stomach for delivering, along with a limited ability as long as “Biden” or his successor control the White House.
Switching to the House which in theory is supposed to start all appropriations bill (the Senate now uses a trick to get around that), can you imagine its GOPe zeroing the budget of the
Geheime StaatspolizeiFBI? Especially when it’s targeting people the GOPe arguably hates even more than the Democrats, given their record of sending RINOs and the like back home to spend more time with their families?The worst indictment of the worthless GOP isn’t that they made Mumbles their Leader but that they’ve kept him there, even after his feud with President Trump cost his party its Senate majority. Isn’t it sick-making watching the super aggressive loudmouth NY Jew, Charles Schumer, run rings around soon-to-be octogenarian Mitch.
After this latest stolen election debacle, IF the hapless GOP keeps Mitch, as well as presumptive House Speaker McCarthy, as leaders, then they don’t deserve a majority. The country will be wholly subsumed by determined Cultural Marxists, while the supine R Team keeps repeating on Faux News: “Just wait until next time!” To paraphrase poet TS Eliot, the party will go down “not with a bang, but a whimper.”
There is another Senator from Kentucky, a rare politician with integrity, who SHOULD become Leader. His father was also a politician of great integrity who should have been president. You know whom I’m speaking of.
Pretty much it in a nutshell. He and the rest highest value is money worship, the more the better. He just panders to what he considers the rubes by giving them some throwaway cultural value issues. Thats what passes for conservative in the US. His supposed connection to the CCP through his wife means nothing ideological as it’s just business and they know how to pay these hungry for more money types. American politics is infested with all these sclerotic individuals who have stayed on forever like the Bidens and Clintons and so on in both parties. It’s never enough, they can’t let go and retire, take their money and just go. They block younger people from coming up and perhaps energizing things. It’s like the last days of the USSR with it’s elderly politburo.
Mitch isn’t stupid…he knows who he works for…and it’s not Joe public.
He is a spoiler…a disruptor for his bosses, a Mr Fix-it.
Many wise people have said that a lot of a man’s character can be judged from his face and Mitch McConnell has a face that belies a weak and perfidious personality. As the author has outlined above, this is not too far from the truth. For a non-Chinese speaker, the pronounciation of Chao as Chow by Trump was close enough to the very difficult Mandarin. I don’t expect Trump to look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyusxZwqic
