The Democrat Party becomes increasingly delusional

And I'm not wasting my time trying to distinguish between the Democratic Socialist wing and the establishment wing: the former is simply more open about embracing their own insanity.

I mean, you have to be delusional and/or stupid to think that Cuba is some kind of model to be followed instead of an object lesson in the impracticality of communism.

"DSA Democrats Praise This ‘Socialist Model’ – Communist Cuba’s Power Grid Collapses".

Last week, we were honored to send a delegation of 40 DSA elected leaders & rank-and-file members from chapters big & small across the country to #Cuba, where they delivered hundreds of pounds of solidarity aid & learned about the achievements & challenges of Cuban socialism. pic.twitter.com/SD1hul0PB7

Evolutionary progress.

I can definitely relate to this.

Not a favorite for father of the year.

Tall tale.

Looks like some kind of cult to me.

From Power Line's The Week in Pictures.

Reminds me of a quote from 19th-century stock manipulator Jim Fisk as he and his cronies narrowly escaped the clutches of the law

"Don't worry, boys. Nothing's lost save honor."

"Democrat Gov. Ned Lamont’s Former Budget Boss Flees America by Boat and Plane Hours Before Corruption Sentencing — Accuses Biden’s DOJ of Weaponization".

Rehabilitation is a laudable goal...

...but, like everything else, the leftists mess it up: "Arkansas Dem Senate Candidate Called To 'Redirect' Taxpayer Funds Away From 'Punishment' in 'Equitable Fashion'.

Even in the hands of non-partisan professionals, rehabilitation can backfire.

Long gone

Happy Feet Friday

Tiny Grimes and his Rocking Highlanders, from 1953, with "Call of the Wild".

Happy Constitution and Citizenship Day!

 

Both things need to get a lot more respect than they frequently do these days.

And I especially want to congratulate Mrs. Paco on the anniversary of her naturalization as a U.S. citizen. The second photo above is from the massive naturalization ceremony that was held in the Orange Bowl 42 years ago today. Mrs. Paco is somewhere in that big crowd of nearly 10,000 new citizens. VP George H.W. Bush appeared and made a speech, and the crowd erupted with "Four more years!" (Reagan and Bush were running for a second term that year). 

Mrs. Paco fulfilled her dream of becoming a U.S. citizen, Reagan was reelected in a landslide, and the Detroit Tigers won the World Series. What a great year that was!
