Kamala Harris, who did not receive a single vote for president during the primaries, accepted the nomination of the Democratic Party Thursday night. Some people do not get their own irony. In order to catapult the one general election candidate lacking primary votes into the White House, Democrats further follow this logic by disenfranchising members of other parties — as they disenfranchised the 14.5 million Joe Biden voters in their own primaries — through blocking rival candidates from ballot access. Since Hillary Clinton’s snatching-defeat-from-the-jaws-of-victory loss in 2016, Democrats rely on excluding legitimate candidates on the grounds that they should hold a monopoly on ballot spots for left-of-center parties. When this happens in Russia or Venezuela, Americans call it by a name. In America, none dare call it rigging. In Wisconsin, where Jill Stein’s 31,000 votes in 2016 eclipsed Donald Trump’s 23,000-vote margin of victory, Democrats seek to block the Green Party from the presidential ballot as they did in 2020. The party’s shrewd selection of a Palestinian–American academic in Butch Ware as Stein’s running mate also scares Democrats in that it gives disaffected progressives an outlet of political expression. David Strange, a Democratic National Committee employee, filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the decision of the Wisconsin Election Commission to allow the Green Party a ballot slot based on their exceeding a legal benchmark of 1 percent in a previous election, as the far-left outfit’s secretary of state candidate received 1.6 percent of the vote in 2022. The unfortunately named Mr. Strange’s argument holds that the Green Party lacks proper presidential electors. He says state law demands that they consist of elected state legislators and officeholders former and current, and since they boast no such people, they cannot nominate a presidential candidate. Precedent contradicts his argument. In 2000, 2004, 2012, and 2016, the Green Party placed a presidential nominee on November ballots in Wisconsin. What changed? The Democrats lost a close race in 2016 that they blamed on the Greens rather than themselves. The lesson Democrats drew from Wisconsin was not that they should abandon far-left policies offensive to Midwesterners but that they should kick off the ballot any they see as an impediment to Democrats receiving votes they hubristically imagine as belonging to them. In Pennsylvania, Democrats knocked off Cornel West from ballots. Yes, the party that spent much of the last four years rambling about the resurrection of Jim Crow sends its lawyers about the country to deny a black man a place on the ballot. They try to do just this in Arizona, Wisconsin, and any other place where the election appears competitive. In Michigan, the secretary of state cited paperwork issues involving the notarization of West’s signatures, which included the failure “to identify what notarial act was being performed,” the lack of “title of office” for the notary, and that the “notary public’s stamp was on a separate sheet of paper and not included with the notary public’s certificate.” It strikes as Kafkaesque. MSNBC’s Ja’han Jones rationalizes the mistreatment of the longtime left-wing darling by strangely characterizing West’s as a “MAGA-fueled campaign,” more bizarrely describing the group that nominated him as “the far-right-friendly People’s Party,” and citing West’s “curious ties to the conservative movement” and “right-wing conspiracy theorist Russell Brand.” No amount of ideological alchemy can turn Cornel West, a high-profile personification of progressivism for many decades, into Pat Buchanan, which, if successful, would presumably justify censoring his name in the voting booth in the minds of currently conflicted progressives. The anti-democratic strategy does not come without risks. The bitterness engendered by the skullduggery unleashed on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may result in the scion of the family most associated with the Democratic Party endorsing the Republican. “I have to say there’s only one party that has obstructed a fair election for us, and unfortunately it was the Democratic Party,” Nicole Shanahan, RFK, Jr.’s running mate, told Fox News. “They’ve done everything they can, including creating PACs to prevent us from being able to have ballot access.” It started with a post-presidency impeachment, which the Left reasoned would disqualify Donald Trump from running for office. Secretaries of state in Maine and Colorado then ordered the removal of Donald Trump’s name from the ballot. Banana republic–style lawsuits and indictments wielded against the opposition candidate followed. It continued with party bigwigs overruling the 14.5 million primary voters who chose Joe Biden as their presidential nominee. And it goes on with attempts to clear ballots of any candidates who passed the legal requirements for placing their names on ballots but represent a hinderance to Democrats holding onto power. Leave aside whether this is your father’s or grandfather’s Democratic Party. The Democratic Party isn’t a democratic party. READ MORE: A Party at War With the Truth Where Did All the Yard Signs Go?

Contrary to the protestations of smarmy low-T pols like Andy Beshear and Pete Buttigieg, this column is highly compassionate and empathetic. At least to its readers. And I know that now, with the Democrats’ festival of mendacity having closed up shop and its vendors departing for the four winds, you have seen more than your fill of verbiage about what happened in Chicago this week. I was bored with it on Tuesday. By Wednesday, I was irritated. By Thursday, I was punch-drunk having to watch one hack after another spewing the same stupid lies. It was like playing a drinking game, only without the booze. So this 5QT will contain no Chicago stuff. I’m out. You can thank me for this by getting your copy of King of the Jungle off Amazon (or check out the Tales of Ardenia books, which were my first forays as a novelist; the percolation of KOTJ has kindled a little interest in those of late, which has been fun). Oh, and yeah — there’s a sequel to King of the Jungle coming. And yeah — I think we’ll serialize it here at The American Spectator. More on that soon. 1. The Kennedy Addition Probably the biggest news of the week, if the rumors turn out to be true (as of this writing it was expected but hadn’t happened yet), won’t be anything that happened in Chicago but rather something that happens in Phoenix. Namely, that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is dumping out of his independent bid for president and throwing his lot in with Donald Trump. I’m going to wait for the confirmation before I launch into a full discussion of what an RFK Jr. endorsement of Trump would mean, but it would definitely change the character of the race. That might sound grandiose seeing as though Kennedy only brings 3 percent or so to the table based on recent polling (though that 3 percent could well be decisive in the seven main swing states), but the big-picture frame of the 2024 election could change completely from what it is now should RFK Jr. come aboard. Ideologically this would entail liberals and conservatives joining forces against the Hard Left, and that would be a bit of an adjustment. The Right has a really bad habit of using the word “liberal” as a slur against Democrats, but that’s really outdated terminology. The Democrats are no longer liberal. They pretend to be, and those speakers this week all cloaked themselves in a liberal mantle. But RFK Jr. is an old school liberal, and when he decided to run for president, they denied him Secret Service protection and ran him out of their party. Then they sent spies in to sabotage his campaign and wore him out with similar lawfare to that which Trump has had to deal with, albeit in different contexts. Barack Obama chased the liberals out of the Democrat Party. Kennedy is one of several liberals, assuming he endorses Trump, who have responded by changing sides. I could name a whole bunch of media and business figures — Elon Musk, Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, Michael Shellenberger, Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Dave Rubin — who have similarly found themselves adrift and have had to swim to the conservative shore. One consequence of Kennedy, whose name is about as emblematic of American liberalism as the Reagan name is of conservatism, endorsing Trump would be that you’re going to have to actively distinguish Democrats from liberals. They’re leftists, not liberals, and there is a difference. John F. Kennedy would have had no home in this Democrat Party. And while I’ll get into this much more in my next column, an RFK Jr. endorsement also blurs the ideology of the 2024 race altogether. That won’t be the dynamic anymore. Instead, it’ll be the clearest iteration yet of Angelo Codevilla’s famous formulation of the societal conflict between the ruling class and the country class — and a referendum on the former. That favors Trump in a major way. So like I said, Chicago is a lot less relevant than you think, other than that the Democrats just perfectly fell into the trap a Trump–Kennedy alliance would set for them based on the rhetoric at that convention. 2. They Lied About Those 818,000 Jobs, And Gina Raimondo Thought It Was Trump Propaganda This comes from the United Center in Chicago, but it wasn’t about the DNC. It just happened that Gina Raimondo, the Biden administration’s Commerce Secretary, was at the convention when she was hit with the news that the Bureau of Labor Statistics revised its estimate of America’s job growth for the four quarters ending this March downward by 818,000. That’s the second-largest downward revision in history, and it puts a recession on the table. Which sounds scary, but it really isn’t; you’ve probably felt a recession coming for a while despite the suspect reporting from the legacy corporate media who have told you lots of other lies conflicting with your own experience. But when Raimondo was asked about the downward revision, she was dumbfounded, and had to revert to Democrat Partisan Hack type: Yikes. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is in the Department of Labor, not Commerce, so perhaps there’s a shred of innocence in Raimondo having missed their revision. Nonetheless, this is a classic case of the people who supposedly run this country not having a clue about what the government’s doing. Here was Vivek Ramaswamy taking the opportunity to dunk on Raimondo and make the larger point about absent leadership: 3. Feds: Fluoride in Government Water Makes Your Kids Dumber The joke is that the conspiracy theorists aren’t nuts, they’re just six months ahead of everybody else. But this is a lot more than six months, isn’t it? A U.S. government report expected to stir debate concluded that fluoride in drinking water at twice the recommended limit is linked with lower IQ in children. The report, based on an analysis of previously published research, marks the first time a federal agency has determined — “with moderate confidence” — that there is a link between higher levels of fluoride exposure and lower IQ in kids. While the report was not designed to evaluate the health effects of fluoride in drinking water alone, it is a striking acknowledgment of a potential neurological risk from high levels of fluoride. Fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces cavities by replacing minerals lost during normal wear and tear, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The addition of low levels of fluoride to drinking water has long been considered one of the greatest public health achievements of the last century. “I think this (report) is crucial in our understanding” of this risk, said Ashley Malin, a University of Florida researcher who has studied the effect of higher fluoride levels in pregnant women on their children. She called it the most rigorously conducted report of its kind. As far back as I can remember, there have been people claiming the fluoridation of public drinking water was a communist plot to stupefy the American public. It’s one of the keys Stanley Kubrick used as the premise for the movie Dr. Strangelove in the early 1960s. But it turns out there’s reality to this, and a lesson: anything you get from the government will be the product of people with power and, almost assuredly, agendas who used your tax dollars to give it to you. And you assume those agendas are benign or well-thought-out at your peril. Most U.S. water systems do not contain fluoride at risky levels as defined by these studies. But some do. And it’s not exactly settled that 1.5 milligrams per liter of fluoride is some tipping point at which damage can be done. You might want to verify how much fluoride is coming out of your tap. If it’s more than 0.7 milligrams per liter, have your kids follow the old Mexican maxim: “don’t drink the water.” Get it from bottles at the supermarket. 4. This Is Definitely Not the EV Summer Boy, it’s sure happening fast, isn’t it? Electric vehicles are rapidly going back to boutique-product status. First, there are oodles and oodles of stories like this one about a lithium-battery fire that got so hot so fast for so long that it shut down I-80 for more than a day. Recently there was a really awful one in South Korea… But this is where the real fire is: Ford Motor is delaying production of a next-generation all-electric pickup truck at a new plant in Tennessee and canceling plans for a three-row electric SUV, the company said Wednesday. Instead, Ford said it will prioritize the development of hybrid models, as well as electric commercial vehicles such as a new electric commercial van in 2026, followed by two EV pickup trucks in 2027. The pickups are expected to be a full-size truck, which will be produced in 2027 at the Tennessee plant that’s currently under construction, and a new midsize truck being developed by a specialized “skunkworks” team in California. “As we’ve learned in the marketplace, and we’ve seen where people have gravitated, we’re going to focus in where we have competitive advantage, and that’s on commercial land trucks and SUVs,” Ford CFO John Lawler said Wednesday. ZeroHedge notes that things like this have been coming for a while: We wrote back in June that nearly half of EV drivers in the U.S. were considering switching back to gas. Forty-six percent of EV owners surveyed in the United States say they will likely return to driving gas-powered vehicles. Globally, the survey of 30,000 respondents in 15 countries found that more than one-quarter (29 percent) of EV owners are likely to go back to driving gas-powered cars. A quick prediction: don’t be shocked if, in the next year or so, Elon Musk announces that Tesla is looking into or has plans to produce a gas-powered model, or perhaps a hydrogen fuel cell model. Tesla could be a beneficiary of Big Three pullback from the EV market, as that could open space for them to dominate, but it’s also just a matter of time before Chinese manufacturers begin dumping products here in an effort to drive off all the competition — in a sector created by policies your ChiCom-friendly federal government continues to push. This is fixable. But not if those Chicago people stay in power. 5. Disney Cancels The Acolyte, and the Critical Drinker Engages in Delicious Grave-Dancing Finally, some of the best news you’ll find. The popular entertainment Death Star known as Disney’s The Acolyte has gotten blown to smithereens by the company brass. There will not be a season two. Ace of Spades has finally been entertained by the show… What’s remarkable is not that the barely-viewed, savagely reviewed Acolyte was canceled. It cost $180 million plus and was yet another corporate embarrassment. Bob Iger can’t put the blame on Kaffeine Kennedy when he’s the guy who refuses to fire her or at least take away her power to greenlight woke trash shows. What’s remarkable is that Disney is admitting — or bragging — that they’re cancelling it. What they usually do is claim that sequels to unpopular money-losers are “in development,” perpetually. Disney still claims, for example, that the Rian Johnson Star Wars trilogy is still a go… one day, when they get all their ducks in a row. So what made Disney rush out word that no, no Acolyte sequel series is in perpetual development, but is in fact fully, officially canceled? Could be that shareholders are getting antsy about Iger’s apparent credo that “Failure is Job One” and would like some reassurance that Iger doesn’t intend to burn their money in a pit forever. …but it’s the Drinker who really drove a stake through the heart of this woke disaster of a series: There are quiet signs that Disney is recovering from the woke mind virus. We’d like those signs to be louder and more garish, like for example if the company’s entire top management roster was cleaned out and replaced with people committed to rebuilding that company into what it used to be. Just remember that when those Chicago people shout “we can’t go back,” they’re talking about trying to ram crap like The Acolyte down your throat, too, and so the proper response must be… READ MORE: A Party at War With the Truth Never Trumpers Are Revealing Who They Really Are The post Five Quick Things: The DNC-Free 5QT appeared first on The American Spectator | USA News and Politics.

This year, the Democratic National Convention has a death toll. Planned Parenthood’s “pop-up mobile health clinic” parked outside the DNC offered free abortions and vasectomies on Monday and Tuesday to anyone who signed up for an appointment. All appointment slots were filled in short order, though Planned Parenthood passed out free “emergency contraception” like Halloween candy — no appointment necessary.  Abortionist Colleen McNicholas announced that 10 vasectomies and 25 abortions would be provided via the Planned Parenthood bus, which had traveled to the DNC from the St. Louis region. Though abortion is illegal in Missouri, women often travel across the river to clinics in Illinois, like the one where McNicholas works in Fairview Heights, just 15 miles away from St. Louis. The motorhome turned abortion clinic was designed to “travel along the state line for doctors to provide abortions.” The bus is the first mobile clinic of its kind in the nation.  McNicholas parked the bus outside of the DNC to provide free abortions and vasectomies for attendees, sweetening the deal by offering a “free hot dog coupon” redeemable at a local restaurant called the Wiener’s Circle. The mobile clinic was parked next to a taco truck outside the United Center, where DNC events were held throughout the week.  Vivek Ramaswamy found it telling that the bus offered both procedures. “It’s not just about the ‘liberty’ of the mother, actually. This is about an anti-child, anti-procreation, anti-family formation agenda,” he said on the Ruthless Podcast.  He proposed that the vasectomy option was mimetic of the party’s emphasis on abortion for women:  “Women are going to go through the procedure of an abortion; we’re going to have men go through some other procedure instead. … It’s not just that we’re in favor of women being able to live autonomously — and there’s inherent debates to be had there — it’s actually about the fact that, no, we are in both directions standing for an agenda of fewer children.”  Abortion isn’t just a necessary evil for today’s liberals; it’s a positive good. “It may be an individual tragedy for many of those who seek one,” wrote Carl Trueman for First Things, “But ideologically it has become the poster child of a world marked by desecration, a symbol of—even a rite of passage to—exhilarating liberation.” McNicholas seems to agree. “The 20 minutes I spend with a patient is an opportunity to hand somebody back their life,” she told the Wall Street Journal. Little does she care that each abortion she performs ends the life of the unborn child.  The DNC was not officially connected to the mobile clinic — though, as Trueman noted, “that is a minor detail, given that abortion has the status of a creedal non-negotiable in the upper echelons of the Democratic Party.” While Democrats claim that abortion is merely healthcare, they treat the murderous procedure like a sacrament.  This is what the next phase of abortion access looks like: a bus-turned-clinic where mothers can kill their unborn children in a parking lot. It’s tragic and dystopian. And it’s just the beginning.  Given the media buzz surrounding the mobile abortion clinic and the abundance of articles eager to paint McNicholas as a wizened warrior for women instead of the butcher she is, it’s likely that local Planned Parenthoods across the country will follow her lead — especially as abortion clinics seek to adapt to greater demand from out-of-state women.  But Planned Parenthood doesn’t just provide abortions anymore. It’s also a top purveyor of cross-sex hormones to individuals seeking “gender-affirming care.” If abortions and vasectomies can be performed in a bus, why not prescribe hormones as well?  The mobile clinic is sickening, and it’s a perfect picture of the stakes of this coming election. Democrats have tried to spin the Republican ticket as “weird,” but their voters are the ones luring men and women into a van for abortions, vasectomies, and hot dog coupons.  Mary Frances Myler is a contributing editor at The American Spectator.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a package of laws he claims to be “the most significant legislation to address property crime in modern California history.” Embattled Californians might regard the measures as a delayed reaction to a primary cause of the crime hike. The 2014 Proposition 47, titled the “Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act” by then-Attorney General Kamala Harris, made thefts of up to $950 a misdemeanor, but there was more to it. Harris’ summary failed to note that the measure restricted the collection of DNA from criminals, who took the measure as a license to steal. Cars became a primary target.  In 2015 and 2016, reported vehicle break-ins were up 21 percent and 27 percent, and in 2017, vehicle break-ins surpassed previous records, with a 24 percent increase above 2016 levels. The targets included the contents of vehicles, which in short order jumped from 16,000–17000 to 19,000–20,000, and also vehicle parts.  Under Proposition 47, thefts of catalytic converters soared. In 2019, the city of Davis reported nine thefts in one week, with the Toyota Prius a primary target. Costs to replace a catalytic converter can easily exceed $1,000. Thieves targeted one couple three times in four months, and arrests were rare. That is because to make a misdemeanor arrest, an officer must have witnessed the crime. As Robert Greene of the Los Angeles Times notes, “How likely is it that a police officer or sheriff’s deputy just happens to be standing by when a suspect grabs an item worth less than $950 off the store shelf?” Under Prop 47, shoplifting soared, and commercial burglary and robbery also increased dramatically.  From 2019 to 2022, Fresno, Los Angeles, and San Francisco saw commercial burglary ramp up by 38 percent, 29 percent, and 26 percent. Over the same period, commercial burglary rose 64 percent in Alameda County and 54 percent in Orange County.  In San Francisco, where Newsom once served as mayor, nearly 50 percent of Union Square stores have closed. In the state capital Sacramento, the city attorney threatens to charge Target stores with “nuisance calls” for reporting retail theft. Residents have a right to wonder why Newsom failed to take action sooner. It could have something to do with the November election, and a crucial episode in state history.  Back in 1978, California voters approved Proposition 13, the People’s Initiative to Limit Property Taxation. Gov. Jerry Brown denounced the measure but when it passed in a landslide acted as though he had written it. Brown proclaimed himself a “born-again tax cutter” but on his watch California became a high-tax state, from which people and businesses fled. In the spirit of Proposition 13, California’s Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act gave voters the final say on future tax increases imposed by state and local governments. The measure gathered nearly one million signatures and qualified for the Nov. 5 ballot, but Newsom teamed with recurring governor Jerry Brown to have the measure taken off the ballot. The Democrat duo took power from the people, who still have a way to punch back. Proposition 36, a measure to amend Proposition 47, has qualified for the November ballot, as Katy Grimes of the California Globe explains, despite “Gov. Gavin Newsom’s attempts to kill it.” Grimes believes state Democrats and the governor don’t want “the people” or Republicans to get credit for overturning a “dystopian hellscape ballot initiative.” Under current conditions, that is hardly a stretch, and as the election awaits, the people have plenty to ponder. Those who approve of Proposition 47 seem to believe that enabling crime somehow promotes “social justice.” They might take a look at Is Social Justice Just?, which explores the concept in detail. “Property crime,” which Newsom claims his raft of bills will address, could also stand examination. The tsunami of thefts, burglaries, and robberies launched by Proposition 47 affects the people who created the merchandise, the people who sell the merchandise, the people who buy the merchandise, and the entire community. If the people thought the time has come to junk the “property crime” designation altogether, it would be hard to blame them.  Lloyd Billingsley is a policy fellow at the Independent Institute in Oakland, Calif.

No one is buying what Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democratic Party are selling these days. Earlier this week, on the opening night of the demonic confab in Chicago that Democrats call their national convention, the outgoing commander-in-chief explicitly denied that he was “angry at all those people” who said he should “step down” following his catastrophic faceplant at the June presidential debate. There is not a single soul who actually believes this. For weeks following the debate, while the corporate media and Democrat elites circled like piranhas, the White House defiantly stood its ground and insisted it wasn’t going anywhere. Biden eventually caved, but it beggars belief that he is not angry at those very Democrats who shivved him in the back and then forced him to read his own political eulogy — a screeching, bitter rant — on national television. No one is buying it, Joe. On the second night of their satanic summit, Democrats heard from dyed-in-the-wool communist Bernie Sanders. Sanders, who honeymooned in the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War and flew a literal hammer-and-sickle communist flag in his old mayoral office, is a leading kingmaker in today’s Democratic Party. At one point during his speech, Sanders intoned: “I want you all to remember where we were three and a half years ago.” Do Democrats really want to compare the actual track records of Donald Trump and Biden? Before COVID-19 hampered Trump’s final year in office, Russia didn’t invade Ukraine, Hamas didn’t massacre Israelis, the economy didn’t enter a formal recession, inflation didn’t reach a four-decade high, millions of unvetted illegal aliens didn’t flood into the country, and America was a net-exporter of energy. No one is buying this one either, commie. Later on Tuesday, conventioneers heard from the two supreme titans who truly control today’s radical Democratic Party: Barack and Michelle Obama. Barack and Michelle tried to gin up artificial enthusiasm for Harris by recapturing the good ol’ days 2008-era magic of “hope” and “yes we can!” No sentient human being could plausibly nod along to a comparison between Barack Obama and Harris. Shared far-left politics and general swarthiness aside, the talented orator Obama does not in any way resemble the dimwitted California cackler-in-chief, who is less popular than venereal disease and was only installed as Democrats’ presidential nominee following Uncle Joe’s bloodless coup due to a forced hand and lack of any other viable option. In his speech, Obama also referenced how tapping his “friend” Biden as his 2008 running mate was one of his “best” decisions. Really, how stupid do they think we are? Obama, although he didn’t have the courage to publicly call for it, was — along with Nancy Pelosi — a leading plotter of Biden’s fateful July coup. Indeed, Biden himself didn’t even stick around for Obama’s harangue; he had already jetted off for sunny California. Harris also skipped town for Milwaukee the night of Obama’s primetime Chicago speech, apparently in order to not risk offending Biden. As Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich reported based on a close source, the “Obamas are still not on the White House good side.” Nor should they be! No one is buying this ridiculous pretense of a grand Democratic Party kumbaya. Finally, large swaths of the Democrats’ diabolical Windy City conclave were dedicated to celebrating the legacy of Biden, a purported “patriot” and “good man” who put “country above party” by “selflessly” bowing out of the presidential race. This entire narrative is a lie. Biden was not “selfless” or “noble” in gently “bowing out” — he was ruthlessly coup’d by his partisan peers. Democrats, unlike Republicans, believe in nothing so much as they believe in doing whatever it takes to win. There was nothing whatsoever voluntary or selfless about this — just one party doing whatever it felt it had to do to maximize its chances of victory against an opponent it has falsely lambasted as a unique threat to “our democracy.” As for the notion that Biden is a “good man” — this too is a lie. Indeed, it has been one of the biggest, most frequently repeated lies of my entire life. Biden is not a good man. Let’s ask Mary Ellen Bork whether Biden, who teamed up with Mary Jo Kopechne murderer Ted Kennedy to so brutally savage her late husband Robert’s Supreme Court nomination that “bork” entered the English lexicon as a verb, is a “good man.” We might also ask Clarence Thomas whether Biden, who did more than anyone else to spread Anita Hill’s slanderous lies, is a “good man.” Also: Can any father in America actually look at Hunter Biden and conclude that Joe was a good father? If nothing else, no one is buying that.
