One week from today, registered voters in Indiana, who have yet to vote (via early in-person or absentee) go to the polls. People need to be clear. Micah Beckwith [FN1] calls the shots in this iteration of what once was the “party of Lincoln.” People have died. I’m sorry... 1/8

More accurately stated: women are dying in greater numbers & disproportionately since Roe was tossed by SCOTUS & IN raced to be the first with the strictest, broadest ban of abortion. Women are…

Let’s play “What happens if?” Values for today’s prognostication: “if” = possible outcomes of Nov 5's elections, “if’” [FN1] = 2A “remedies.” Here we go, trivializing our current morass in which so much is on the line! Special Guest “Pat” will spin the Wheel of Doom! 1/7

Sorry about that cynicism. Most advocacy for 2A remedies is from the far right. Guns are a part of the culture. Firearms, camo clothing & other items associated w/warfare figure into photos. If Harris Walz wins,…

One part of The Constitution has been bastardized and its reasons for existence ignored for the past 25 years. Art II establishes “electors” as a mechanism to select the head of the Executive branch. Hamilton wrote that “if it be not perfect it is at least excellent.” [FN1] 1/8

This was one of the last issues decided by the delegates, [FN2] who never describe electors as strategy. “Nothing was to be more desired than that every practicable obstacle should be opposed to cabal,…

If you vote for Braun (GOP) for Gov, you vote for Beckwith for Lt Gov

Indiana’s Governor is elected every four years, the same as the President. Each candidate for Governor is on the same “ticket” as her or his running mate for Lt Gov. 1/11

To repeat: a vote for Braun (GOP) for Gov is a vote for Beckwith for Lt Gov

Just like Pres/VP, Hoosier voters cannot “split the ticket” and vote only for one party’s candidate for Gov & another party’s candidate for Lt Gov.…

Tues, 10/22, Micah Beckwith’s [FN1],reply to a question about the IndyStar included Beckwith trying to get James Briggs [FN2] “to go on Rob Kendall’s show” to debate “on air live, but he won’t do it. He keeps wussing out & runs “kinda pretty quick.” [FN3][FN4] 1/13

Beckwith has personal knowledge of the “wussing out” thing. In 2020, I was a far left candidate in the GOP primary. [FN5] On 2/1/20, Beckwith tagged me on (then-) Twitter w/a snotty insult & never disputed my…

Micah Beckwith, GOP nominee for IN Lt Gov, hits media every day w/brilliant insights that let us see what we can expect if Hoosiers vote for the GOP ticket and Beckwith becomes Indiana’s Lt Gov, just down the hall and a heartbeat away from the Office of Governor! 1/7

Beckwith’s latest: “Multiculturalism is a very bad thing. We do not want ‘multi’ cultures. We want assimilation into the American way of life. And if you will not do that, then you do not belong here, so we are going to…

Experience is important!

Micah Beckwith, Republican Party nominee for IN Lt Gov, notes on Micah Beckwith dot com “over 15 years as a pastor and small business owner,” [FN1] but is unaware IN’s LT Gov cannot discriminate against employees on the basis of sex. [FN2] 1/13

Experience is essential!

Republican Micah Beckwith was nominated, by a margin of 63 delegates at the State convention, to be running mate to Mike Braun, winner of the GOP primary w/over 236K votes. [FN3] Yet…

When Micah Beckwith [FN1] opens his mouth, the words of Chicago Bear/NFL Hall of Famer Steve McMichael come to mind: “He ain’t gonna win no Nobel Peace Prize for Intelligence.” In case people missed it, Beckwith wants to fire anyone who uses pronouns in emails. 1/9

At a Monroe County GOP gathering, an attendee asked if there is a “deep state” in IN. Beckwith said there is, that “we do have a plan to address it,” and there is a “really easy” way to “identify those who have far-left…

Campaign ads air w/even greater frequency as Nov 5 approaches. On 10/18, we heard that the DGA donated another $450K to the campaign of the Democratic Party ticket for Gov/Lt Gov of McCormick/Goodin. That’s a total of $1.1 million. [FN1] Where’s Beckwith? 1/11

During the IU-Nebraska game Saturday afternoon, attack ads against McCormick/Goodin ran, as did “positive” ads for the lead on the GOP ticket. [FN2] The race for IN Gov/Lt Gov went from “Safe R” to a point where the DGA felt $…

Mike Braun has to be feeling lonely. Braun out-spent several rivals & won May’s primary. In June as nominee for Gov of this iteration of the IN Republican Party [FN1] Braun could see the 6/15 State convention as a victory party. Oh, yeah. There was a formality:1/14

Braun’s pick of a running-mate. The Gov/Lt Gov ticket can’t be split. Braun had spent $, won the primary w > 236K votes and picked a woman from Indiana General Assembly. [FN2] There was a snag: Ham County preacher…

Europe had wounds to heal, the most noticeable stretching nearly 500 miles from the North Sea to Switzerland, [FN1] at the conclusion of the Great War. [FN2] Germany had a significant price to pay as the nation other nations blamed for the carnage that ensued from August, 1914. 1/7

Since World War II, prosecutors at the Nuremberg war crimes trials, as well as historians, had records from which they pieced together how leaders of the NSDAP went from little support in the Weimer…

Of many reasons to keep IN magaGOP Lt Gov nominee Micah Beckwith as far as possible from political power, two dovetail. At a Monroe County GOP dinner, Beckwith said s/he “would fire staff members with pronouns in their email signature.” [FN1] Two reasons? 1/7

Morality and money join in harmony. In Bostock v. Clayton County, 17-1618, the Court held “an employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” [FN2]…

Morality and money join in harmony. In Bostock v. Clayton County, 17-1618, the Court held “an employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” [FN2] Beckwith really comes out to say how he feels: 2/7

“If you think that men can be women and women can be men, and there’s pronouns needed when we’re talking to one another, you don’t understand the basics of even reality.” [FN3] Beckwith is the one who needs to…

Someone posted a comment on Facebook to the effect that there is no point to debating issues we face today because everyone’s mind is “made up.” This implies a narrow purpose to debate, one of winning or losing in a competition. [FN1] Election campaigns deluge us w/info. 1/11

We see & hear candidates for office. Some candidates lie. When their lies go unchallenged, there is a greater probability of those candidates taking office. Because debate is adversarial, it has a greater…

Micah Beckwith [FN1] is the IN magaGOP nominee for Lt Gov. [FN2] Gosh golly! The person in the #2 slot on such a ticket usually is an after thought. The winner of the May primary to be the lead on the ticket thought so before & after the State convention in June. 1/12

Beckwith started her/his end-run on party leadership in June, 2023. [FN3] Earth did nearly a lap around the Sun & Beckwith drove a lot of miles recruiting Hoosiers to be delegates before the primary winner…

In a debate w/Democratic Party nominee for IN Gov Jennifer McCormick, Mike Braun said, “So when you’re focusing on a lieutenant governor that means you’re shaky on what your own plans are going to be.” [FN1] Braun might be correct in the typical Gov/Lt Gov election, but 1/13

2024's election for IN Gov/Lt Gov is not typical BECAUSE of Braun’s running mate, Hamilton County preacher Micah Beckwith. If an Austrian former-corporal was on a ballot in Germany in 1932 as #2, hell yes the…
