America’s existential threat is the absence of consequences for Democrats​

By Lewis Dovland

America as we know it is facing its ultimate existential threat, all focused on whatever the left thinks it will take to ensure Donald Trump is not our next President.

Our dear, constitutional America has crossed the political Rubicon (perhaps the River Styx). In addition to foreign policy, border, and economic problems, it now faces a breakdown in our justice system. Those who use governmental powers to cheat or commit politically based crimes have no concerns about punishment. Heavily abetted by the Marxist progressives in control of our educational, media, and justice systems, nothing is out of bounds for them.

Because America’s left has removed religion from the public space and demonstrates immorality at every turn, we then must look at this issue differently because we now have citizens who have no compunction about lawlessness.

With leftists (progressive Marxists), who now include all Democrat politicians, no penalties for lawlessness apply, and that’s for two reasons. One, they have no shame. And two, even where a penalty could be applied, it won’t.

As James Comey explained in 2016, Hillary Clinton was fully caught having committed several serious violations of our secrecy acts. Ignoring a court order to preserve evidence (as well as statutory requirements for government records), she deleted 30,000 emails and smashed multiple cell phones, yet no one was prosecuted. So, lawlessness worked.

Harry Reid lied outright in 2012 on the Senate floor, claiming that Mitt Romney had not paid taxes for 10 years. Once the election ended and the truth came out, Reid was asked about it. His answer? “He didn’t win, did he?” Statements from a leading statesman possibly changed the outcome of an election, but there were no consequences.

The establishment’s burying Hunter’s laptop story until after the 2020 elections very likely changing the outcome of a very close race. None of the 51 ‘officials’ who signed an obviously false letter of denial will ever be prosecuted.

Very few miscreants have paid the price. I can only remember two offhand. In the Duke Lacrosse Case, Mike Nifong, the county prosecutor, figured he had the political-boosting case of his career because it had two major leftist touch points—rich white kids and a black female victim. Nifong was later disbarred, and Duke paid over $100 million to the students, along with an apology. But the young men were forever tainted.

Nick Sandmann, the Covington Catholic High student whom the media accused of racism for allegedly smirking at a Native American at the Lincoln Memorial, also received some measure of justice. That slander cost the media a lot, and Sandmann is wealthier for it. But his life has been affected, just as Kyle Rittenhouse’s life has forever been altered (nearly fatally) by a cabal of the media and the leftist judicial system in Kenosha.

Aside from one politician and a few media, these actors never pay a price for their actions. There is nothing to dissuade them in the future, and there is no penalty for mass fraud in the November elections. Democrats know: 1) they can cheat and manipulate with impunity because winning is the only thing; 2) if caught, their win still stands, just like a football score when the game is over; and 3) nothing will happen to them if caught.

Should a campaign-ending tragedy befall Donald Trump, while a scapegoat will certainly be caught and ‘Epsteined,’ there will be no repercussions for the plotters. And that would tragically warp America to an unrecoverable state.

Democrats don’t just hate Trump, they fear him. They understand that, once elected, the entire deep state, the corrupt structure that all Democrats and most D.C. Republicans support, will be cleaned out like the Augean stable. Therefore, they find acceptable any measures to avoid that outcome.

Should it happen, the voice of the American people will be muffled, and the left will win. We see this playing out in the Soviet-style kangaroo court trials Trump is now facing, with their blatant, egregious, and openly visible in-your-face,’ I dare you’ actions.

We are on very dangerous ground.

Or it makes me feel old, anyway

The supposed experts were not only wrong in just about everything they forced on the American people during Covid, they intentionally shut down any common sense talk that didn't fully support their narrative. Actual experts that tried to ask questions, tried to inform the American people were shut down, canceled and ostracized for speaking the truth. Now the truth is coming out, there was no scientific evidence to support their decisions and the Covid Clowns act like it's no big deal? They destroyed the economy, destroyed people's lives, destroyed a generation of children and they think their actions were just fine. SMFH. These people need to be removed from any position they hold, humiliated publicly and they should apologize to the American people.

Case never should have been prosecuted. Leftist bitch f.ucked around and found out.

The core issue with presidential debates today is the role of the moderator. Instead of facilitating discussion, moderators seem determined to become protagonists, to the detriment of voters at home who expect a real clash of ideas.

My proposed solution is simple: scrap the moderator and revive the debate format that Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas used during the 1858 Senate race.

While current debates are divided into six 15-minute segments, a Lincoln-Douglas debate would invite the first candidate to speak for 60 minutes, the second for 90, and then finally the first for 30. This ensures each candidate fully articulates their positions and critiques the other’s arguments without interruptions.

Remember when Biden slammed Trump for tariffs on China?

Oklahoma State softball pitchers nearly perfect in NCAA opener vs. Northern Colorado​

STILLWATER — Oklahoma State’s opening game in the NCAA softball tournament was a breeze, but it was close to being historic.

Cowgirl pitchers Lexi Kilfoyl and Ivy Rosenberry came one out away from combining on the first perfect game in OSU postseason history, and leadoff hitter Jilyen Poullard came inches shy of a two-home run game.

But instead, the Pokes had to settle for a dominant 6-0 victory over Northern Colorado (27-25) in the first round of the Stillwater Regional on Friday night at Cowgirl Stadium.

OSU (45-10), the No. 5 national seed and the top seed in the regional, got big hits from young players and reminded everyone why they’ve been regarded as one of the best defensive teams in the country.


The victory sends OSU to a showdown with Kentucky in the winner’s bracket final, set for noon Saturday at Cowgirl Stadium.

Here are three takeaways from the OSU victory:

OSU pitchers flirt with perfection​

Kilfoyl, a super-senior, said Thursday she feels extra zip on her pitches when she’s had a couple extra days off, which she was given early in the week.

Not only were her pitches sharp, she was putting them where she wanted them, and that led to her retiring all 15 batters she faced in her five innings.


She earned the win to improve to 22-3 on the year, and Rosenberry worked the final two innings for her third save of the season.

Gajewski wanted to limit Kilfoyl’s usage Friday, regardless, so he was satisfied with getting five perfect innings out of her with just 62 pitches.

“The plan was to get her two (innings) and score about nine or 10 runs and get her out,” Gajewski joked. “We didn’t want to go more than five, to be honest. Her pitch count was low.

“She’ll be able to bounce back the next two days just fine and do what she needs to do. I feel like we’ve always done a good job here of protecting our kids and spreading the innings and making sure these horses are fresh at the end.”

Kilfoyl had just one strikeout, but she was clearly dialed in for her first appearance since May 4.


“I felt pretty good today,” Kilfoyl said. “Kudos to our defense. I had maybe one strikeout, so our defense was the core of everything today.”

OSU flashes the glove​

The last time OSU was on the field, it committed five errors in an upset loss to BYU in the Big 12 Tournament, but the glove issues were solved Friday.

Though Kilfoyl and Rosenberry were in control all day, they weren’t racking up strikeouts.

Northern Colorado struck out just twice, forcing OSU to make 19 outs in the field, and 15 of those were groundouts.

“Karli (Godwin) kind of bailed them out in the first inning,” Gajewski said, referencing two short-hop catches made on low throws by Godwin at first base in the first inning. “That could be a moment where you go, ‘Oh my god, here we go again.’ But Karli picked them up and then we really got dialed in.


“This game is a test, and you just gotta pass the next test. We didn’t pass one. We passed most of ‘em, and I felt like we would come back and play well.”

Right fielder Claire Timm — a natural infielder who has been learning the corner outfield positions this year — had one of the biggest defensive plays, making a diving catch in foul territory for an out in the fifth inning.

Poullard, Davis with big swings​

Looking ahead, perhaps the most promising piece of Friday’s win was how the first-year Cowgirls performed at the plate — some of whom were making their NCAA Tournament debut.

Freshman second baseman Rosie Davis lined an RBI double off the top of the fence in her first at-bat, then added two more singles, finishing 3 for 3 with two RBIs and a run scored.


“When I got to second base on the first one, I was smiling really big,” Davis said. “Then I felt like I got more and more comfortable as the game went on.”

Godwin, another freshman, singled in her first at-bat. Sophomore Lexi McDonald had just one postseason at-bat last year, but started in right field Friday and came through with an RBI single.

Transfer seniors Caroline Wang and Jilyen Poullard had NCAA Tournament experience at their previous schools, but showed that the Cowgirls should expect nothing different than the reliable production the veterans provided in the regular season.

Wang singled and scored in the first inning on Davis’ double, and Poullard had the biggest swings of all.

The center fielder hit a solo home run in the third inning before Davis came through with her second run-scoring hit. And Poullard thought she had another homer in the sixth.

The high fly ball bounced off the top of the wall and came back into play, but initially it was called a home run. Poullard circled the bases, celebrated with her team and entered the dugout before umpires gathered to discuss the play and go to video review.

Replay showed the ball returning to the field of play, which resulted in a two-run double for Poullard.



“(Hitting coach Vanessa Shippy-Fletcher) just tells us, ‘Your best swing,’” Poullard said. “If you’re not gonna put your best swing on it, what’s the point? The craziest part about it is on both of those hits, I didn’t feel like I hit the ball very well. I thought they were pop flys, maybe at the warning track.


“The one that bounced back in, that was pretty weird, but I didn’t even square the ball up, so I’ll take what I can get.”

Poullard has hit five home runs in her last six games, and continues to be a spark at the top of the batting order, reaching base 18 times in the last 12 games.

But she said she’d been feeling the nerves for this game all week until she arrived at the stadium and saw how focused her teammates were.

“I didn’t have my best practices this week,” Poullard said. “I’ve been worried too much about today and I haven’t been where my feet are very well this week. So getting back locked into thinking ‘Where are you making contact with the ball?’

“You’d be amazed what you can do when you just focus on the small things like that.”

Final: Cowgirls win 6-0, come up short of perfect game​

OSU came one out away from its first perfect game in postseason play, but Ella Gonzalez’ grounder to second base bounced off the heel of Rosie Davis’ glove as she tried to make a backhanded play on a hit up the middle.

Northern Colorado fans cheered as the scoreboard changed from zero to one in the Bears’ hit column.

OSU still closed out the NCAA Tournament opener, 6-0, and advances to face Kentucky at noon Saturday in the winner’s bracket final at Cowgirl Stadium.

Michigan and Northern Colorado will meet in an elimination game at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

End of 6: Poullard, McDonald drive in runs​

With a towering fly ball that bounced off the top of the left field fence, Jilyen Poullard nearly had her second home run of the day. Instead, she had to settle for a two-run double and a 6-0 OSU lead.

The hit was initially called a home run, but after video review, it was ruled the ball never left the field of play. The runners scored, but Poullard was sent to second with a double.

The inning began with singles by Rosie Davis and Micaela Wark to set the table for Lexi McDonald, who drove in a run for a 4-0 OSU lead.

Rosenberry returns to the circle for her second inning of relief three outs away from the first postseason perfect game in OSU history. She will face the top three batters in the Bears' order.

Middle of 6: Rosenberry retires Bears in order​

The pitcher changed, but the results did not for the Oklahoma State defense. Ivy Rosenberry entered in relief of Lexi Kilfoyl, who was perfect through five innings, and Rosenberry kept the perfecto alive with a foul lineout and two groundouts.

End of 5: Claire Timm shows off glove​

Northern Colorado finally got a hit out of the infield, but OSU right fielder Claire Timm kept the defense rolling with a diving catch in foul territory. The Bears are still seeking their first hit.

Ivy Rosenberry will take the circle for the sixth with the Cowgirls on top 3-0.

End of 4: Another clean frame for Kilfoyl​

Lexi Kilfoyl keeps mowing down Northern Colorado hitters. She has yet to allow a ball out of the infield.

Offensively, OSU picked up another baserunner but could not add to its 3-0 lead.

End of 3: Cowgirls extend lead to 3-0​

With a Jilyen Poullard home run to the opposite field, and an RBI infield single by Rosie Davis, OSU leads 3-0 after three innings.

Pitcher Lexi Kilfoyl continues to keep the Bears off balance in a hitless effort through three innings.

— Scott Wright, Staff writer

End of 2: Empty inning both ways​

OSU pitcher Lexi Kilfoyl has yet to let a ball leave the infield, recording five groundouts and a strikeout through two innings.

The Cowgirls went down in order in their half of the second and remain up 1-0 heading to the third.

End of 1: Cowgirls take early lead​

OSU freshman Rosie Davis lined a double off the top of the left-center field wall to score Caroline Wang and give OSU a 1-0 lead over Northern Colorado after one inning in the Stillwater Regional opener.

Cowgirl pitcher Lexi Kilfoyl sent the Bears down in order in the top half of the inning.

Big double header today. Should get Benge and Garcia today on the bump. Hopefully Meola and Wulfy continue to get their rhythm back. Need a sweep to guarantee 2nd. First game at 2:30 with second game 45 minutes after finish - I think both are on ESPN Plus
