Joe Oltmann Untamed | Patrick’s Take on: Securing Our Posterity | 11.13.26
With Joe out today, Patrick takes the chair and opens with a moment Arapahoe County residents won’t soon forget. For nearly an hour, residents asked their commissioners for voter rolls, cast vote records and a precinct-by-precinct comparison of paper ballots to machine counts. Board Chair Leslie Summey’s response: “Were the results different, would you all be here?” Then: “You did not elect me,” “This conversation is over,” and “You come all the time, honey.” Even a fellow Democrat on the board reminded her that residents deserve respect. Patrick looks at what they were asking for, from the county GOP chair’s list of 1,100 questionable registrations to the Issue 7A ballot mistakes, and at new data claiming Virginia’s voter rolls exceed its citizen voting-age population in half its counties. Then Patrick turns to a conversation he says America can’t keep avoiding. He looks at CAIR’s push to train thousands of young Muslims to run for office, new arrivals in Spain, and a British Parliament where lawmakers are finally saying out loud that mass immigration has reshaped the country. White Britons are already a minority in London and Birmingham, and one study projects they’ll lose their majority nationwide by the 2060s. U.S. Census projections show non-Hispanic white Americans falling below half the population around 2050. Patrick asks what “securing the blessings of liberty to our posterity” means when no one in power will even discuss it. Finally, Patrick looks at what he calls a war on ordinary Americans. Montgomery County, Maryland, bans former ICE and Border Patrol agents from public-facing county jobs, and Justice Clarence Thomas warns that progressivism is no harmless idea. Plus, some good news to end the week: Colorado State Sen. Iman Jodeh deletes a post advertising a Muslim-only internship after the backlash hits.
