The Kamikaze Party
The Democrats respond to last week’s defeat with a series of futile suicide missions.

Any student of 20th century history will tell you that the Kamikaze strikes carried out against allied naval forces during World War II began long after it was clear that the Axis powers could not hope to win. This series of suicide attacks was nothing more than a futile and destructive exercise in fanaticism. Its sheer perversity was much like the extremist political strategy pursued by the Democrats since their defeat last Tuesday in Virginia and elsewhere. The Democratic leadership, like the fanatics who conceived and executed “Divine Wind,” refuses to face reality or pursue policies that address the genuine problems facing the country.
The morning after their Election Day drubbing, the Democratic leadership of the Senate tried to bring a radical federal takeover of the nation’s election system to the floor, a maneuver that was promptly defeated. Next, the Biden administration confirmed that it is indeed planning to pay huge cash settlements to illegal immigrants, and released a vaccine mandate that has already been blocked by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The week ended late Friday night, when the House passed a $1.2 trillion pork-packed “infrastructure” bill that will add at least $250 billion to the federal deficit. This will not improve consumer confidence as reported by the IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index:
The Six-Month Economic Outlook, a measure of how consumers feel about the economy’s prospects in the next six months, slid 2.7 points or 6.5% to 38.6 in November. This component has fallen 23.1% since August, and the current reading is its 15-month low.… Confidence in Federal Economic Policies, a proprietary IBD/TIPP measure of how government economic policies are working, according to Americans, declined 4.2 points or 9.3% to 41.1 in November. It is the lowest reading since April 2016 (67-month low).more
