Slip of the tongue

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Have you ever had a slip of the tongue? It is also referred to as a Freudian slip. I have seen many examples of this through the years. Some can be unintentionally funny. But many in the field of psychology, believe that the slips reveal what a person is really thinking.

Let’s talk about the slip we all witnessed last night. Governor Gavin Newsom easily won the recall, defeating Larry Elder. It was a blowout, despite certain miserable pundits trying to act like it was not. So, it was a very exciting evening. Newsom gave a speech that was incredibly moving.

He was quite emotional at different moments. One of my friends in California told me she thought that the speech was up there as a great one, and I agree.

And then it was time for evil Elder to concede. The good news is that he did not challenge the election results, probably because he knew he couldn’t, and if he did he would be even more of a laughing stock than he already was. So, he conceded and made a gigantic slip of the tongue.

“We may have lost the war“ Elder began. Oops! What he was trying to say is in fact what he eventually said. “We may have lost the battle, but will win the war.”

Actually, he will not win the war because the war occurred last night as Elder’s slip of the tongue reveals. It was rather amusing to watch.

My advice to Elder would be, if he wants a career in politics, move to a red state, and forget about California. California is a vast blue sea as Elder unhappily discovered for himself last night.
