Policy Still a Winning Formula

The victory of Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin in Virginia demonstrates most Americans still believe in individual rights, the rule of law, and the freedoms afforded by the Constitution.

Democrat candidate Terry McAuliffe ran on the typical fearmongering, race-based, and victimhood nonsense the Democrats continue to hang on to, and the people of Virginia rejected it.

Sure, McAuliffe got 48% of the vote, but that is the percentage of voters who were going to vote Democrat no matter what.

Youngkin ran an issues-oriented campaign, concentrating on education, the economy, and parental rights.

Critical Race Theory was at the forefront of the campaign as parents were concerned about the emphasis the public school system has put on such a divisive and racist propaganda subject.

While the Democrats continued to feed their base with cheap red meat like transgederism in schools, defunding the police, illegal aliens, and welfare for all, the Republicans were on point.

The economy, public, safety, education, and COVID-19, those were the winning issues and it showed at the ballot box in Virginia.

Democrats tried to make it about Donald Trump. The mainstream media tried to make Youngkin look like some type of racist and a “Trump Trooper,” with the Lincoln Project going as far as to stage a phony photo-op to portray Youngkin as some type of right-wing crazy. It didn’t work.

Virginians rejected that nonsense and saw it for what it was, cheap politics. The American people have seen the country go from a strong one to a weak one in a matter of months and they are opening their eyes to what the Democratic Party has to offer.

Under the Democrats, American citizens have become third class citizens while illegal aliens have been elevated to a position of strength. While the central government order Americans to vaccinate or else, illegal aliens are not even evaluated.

Gold Star families only get $100,000 for the death of a family member while fighting for his or her country, the Democrats want to give $450,000 to illegal aliens who dare to break our laws and enter our country illegally. If that’s not enough reason to reject Democratic Party policies, I do not know what else I could tell you to convince you.

Bottomline? Policies still matter, and the Republican Party could learn a thing or two from Glenn Youngkin’s wining campaign strategy.

The Shark vs. The PGA Tour

To read holier than thou commentators, including the mostly underachieving PGA Tour Radio ankle bitters and The Golf Channel less than stellar crew, disparaging Greg Norman, and his new position as CEO of LIV Golf investments, is laughable and hypocritical at best.

Sure, for people like me, golf is just a game, but for people like Norman, it is also a business.

Norman will be the commissioner of a new golf league, funded by Saudi Arabia, and with emphasis on the Asian Tour. By attaching this league to the Asian Tour, players who wish to play on it will be able to gain world rankings. If that is the case, well, that is a smart move.

Greg Norman attempted something similar back in the mid 90’s, but was blocked by the PGA Tour, and the idea never flourished. This time it appears Norman’s chances are much better, and with a $200 million dollar investment, there’s money to be made.

Of course, the media is having a field day and jumping on Norman and anybody who even dares to approve of such an idea.

USA Today writer, Dan Wolken, suggests players must decide between the money and morals. Is this guy serious?

He forgot how the PGA Tour saved an honorary tee time for crackhead, convicted felon, and women’s abuser, George Floyd, at the Charles Schwab Challenge in June 2020.

Spare me the morality Dan. Wolken is nothing more than your typical USA Today leftwing writer. Not much substance, little facts, and tons of nonsense.

You can read Wolken’s opinion piece below.

Wolken: When it comes to Saudi Arabia-backed golf league, players must decide between money and morals

PGA Tour Commissioner, Jay Monahan, has said any player who joins this endeavor will lose their PGA membership. Well, I am not sure is that easy Jay.

I guess the PGA Tour is ready to spend lots of money on legal fees and high power attorneys.

Typical Jay Monahan, he sounds more like a mafia boss than the PGA Tour commissioner. He was quoted as saying, “anybody who joins a breakaway tour would be suspended and likely barred from playing the PGA Tour.” 

What’s Jay afraid of? Let the free market speak Jay, that is the American way.

I am happy to see a viable alternative to a PGA Tour that has become, political, preachy, woke, and anti-free market. I do not watch PGA Tour events other than the four Major Championships, and even then, I do not get out of my way to do so.

I applaud Greg Norman for having the guts to go against the PGA Tour and the PGA Tour lapdog, the European Tour. These organizations have monopolized the golf industry while at the same time preaching phony equality and inclusiveness.

As to the government of Saudi Arabia’s involvement? This is not news. They are host to the Saudi International, an Asian Tour event and only professional golf tournament played in the Kingdom.

Furthermore, Jack Nicklaus announced he will be designing a new golf course in Saudi Arabia, outside Riyadh. Is the PGA Tour going to shun Jack Nicklaus for his business enterprise with Saudi Arabia? I think not.

The PGA Tour, and all the golf governing bodies, wanted golf to be a more inclusive and a more global sport, well, they succeeded, and Greg Norman is taking full advantage of it.

The only controversy here is the one created by the mafia bosses at PGA Tour headquarters. The PGA Tour is damaged goods, morally and ideologically.
