The U.S. and Canada Are Not "Friends"


Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was not elected to be friends with the United States or it's government. He was elected to make the best trade deals he can with the rest of the world for the benefit of Canada and it's citizens.

Donald Trump most certainly was not elected President of these United States because he is a nice guy, period. Many U.S. businesses have felt they have been getting the short end of the stick when it comes to international trade and the profound loss of manufacturing jobs in this country has been a sore point for a very long time. Ditto for the U.S. steel trade that had become a victim of product "dumping" by the Chinese that goes back to the 1980s and the decimation of the national steel industry at that time.

Indeed, every leader of every nation, with a few dictatorial exceptions, is looking out for the best interests of their nation. We are friendly with all nations and most of them are friendly right back but...

We are not friends when it comes to trade.

There is much lamenting going on right now by the Political Left who are decrying the Trump Tariffs and what a devastating effect they will have on "Our Friends". Suddenly other nations like Mexico and Canada are being worried about heavily and publicly by such Leftist entities as National Public Radio, the PBS News Hour and those two prominently featured Socialist Wack-Jobs Mark Shields and David Brooks. With much hand-wringing they describe how these most friendly nations to the United States are being treated so, so Shabbily!

Forget the tariffs, THIS should worry Canada and Mexico more.

Our Allies!

The big lament on the "News" hour, and I laughed out loud when they said it, was "why are we doing this to our ALLIES?" And, of course, they repeated this phrase several times throughout the broadcast, putting extra emphasis on "Allies" like this was now the most unprecedented affront to the sacred bond of alliance that has ever manifested on the material plane of man's existence.

My first thought was that Mexico and Canada were supposedly our allies when they signed off on the trade deals in the first place so if they can accept a deal that tilts in their favor, what were they doing to THEIR allies?

Screwing them, that's what.

So now we have President Trump who doesn't like the deals our past presidents have been making. History hasn't proven them to be working in the favor of the United States. To allow these deals to be changed to more favorable circumstances cannot be allowed by the Leftists. Success for the United States is an unthinkable concept for them. It cannot come to pass.

China

It is well known that China hasn't had an original thought since Mao took over the country back in 1949. China's government has made it an all encompassing passion to hijack the technology of other counties and produce these products cheaper without ever making the proper payments to the originators as outlined by international copyright. This is an act of theft.

According to National Public Radio, China denies this claim.

Can you imagine Hillary Clinton dealing with the trade imbalances of the United States economy? She wouldn't even know what people were talking about. She would simply just "roll up her sleeves and get it done!", yes? Right, exactly.

No, we don't care if Canada likes us or if Mexico likes us (they certainly do not) or if Germany, Spain or France like us, Donald Trump wasn't put where he is for such pleasantries and he didn't step away from his businesses and busy successful life as a rich person to BE pleasant. For the first time in a long time we have a person in the White House who knows a good deal when he sees one. He is here to make good deals for the United States.

And its about time we did.

Mueller Looking for the Exit


This whole charade has just about played itself out.

The leaks, the guessing games, the subpoenas, the depositions, the indictments and the rampant speculation is nearing it's end for special council Robert Mueller.

It's been one whole year and he's still got nothing.

The admission that Mr. Mueller cannot indict a sitting president is not a revelation. The revelation is that he said it at all. His purpose as a special council is finally rendered moot as the walls have already begun to close in.

What Mueller needs now is a graceful exit. 

Mueller's angle was probably never to indict the president in the first place. His job was to just hang out there as a major distraction to either slow or, by some investigative miracle, find something substantial on presidential candidate Trump.

But that wasn't possible was it since Donald Trump's campaign had been under FBI surveillance the whole time, his phone's tapped and an FBI mole planted in his campaign. The Anti-Trump Deep State already knew there was nothing going on with the Russians or they would have sprung that trap prior to the election.

No, no, they knew right from the beginning that they had nothing because their people on the inside and outside told them already so Mueller's job was to just hang out there and disrupt the Trump presidency and try to slow his agenda.

But now that is unraveling faster than Curley Q. Link in a Mummy costume.

And it's all thanks to the Russians!

So the Russian groups Mueller was granted indictments for have shown up in court with lawyers wanting to see what he's got for evidence and SURPRISE, Mueller is not ready!

How can this be?

How did he get an indictment in the first place? You have to show some kind of evidence to have a court of law issue an indictment, yes? Well where did it go? He had to have told the court that he had a case against these people, that he had evidence to prove that they had done something illegal, right?

So when the accused show up in court, Mr. Mueller's team is now "not ready".

Well isn't that just DANDY!?

This is actually a pretty big deal. This alone proves that the Mueller investigation was all a show.

Prior to trial there is a 'discovery" process where the Prosecutor, that would be Robert Mueller's office, would turn over the evidence that they have to the Defense so that they can prepare their case against it. This is the law in the United States. This evidence should already exist since the Prosecution would have had to present this evidence to the Judge to get the indictment issued in the first place.

So where is it and why could they not produce it at a court hearing?

Speculation has it that Mr. Mueller needed SOMETHING WITH RUSSIANS IN IT to keep the illusion alive that Russians were over running the U.S. election process in 2016 and because of this collusion by the Trump campaign with nefarious Russian oligarchs, poor Hillary lost the election.

So Mueller issues indictments for some Russian groups we've never heard of but he wasn't prepared for them to actually come back at him. This is hilarious in it's assumptive ineptitude.

Coming on the heels of this obvious embarrassment and with increasing calls for him to show what information he has gathered, Mr. Mueller seems to have decided to cut bait and declare he cannot prosecute President Trump. Can his declaration that he is ending his investigation not be far behind?

To issue an indictment means he would have to show his evidence which so far hasn't been working out too well. If he instead concludes his "investigation' and just issues in his final report that he "could have" indicted the President, there could only be a rebuttal from the White House and no trial to provide vindication. Mueller would get to keep his shadowy evidence in the shadows and the National Public Radio crowd screaming for blood the next two years while he heads out of town to go fishing.

In a real pond this time.

Hamas Prefers to Rage


Raging in the streets only underscores the fact that these stateless Arabs who occupy the Gaza strip are wholly impotent in regard to the future of the Middle East. They will have no role and play no part in it. Their fate remains in the hands of others. This has been their choice all along.

The future has been put on hold long enough and it's time to recognize the reality that there is no Palestine and there hasn't been a Palestine for a very long time. There are no Palestinians any more and there hasn't been any Palestinians for a long time either. The people who stand in their place and claim the name haven't any more resemblance to Palestinians than todays Turkey to the Ottoman Empire. Their claims are spurious and are only held as real by their Saudi backers and the American Liberal Press, aka: The ALP Freedom Front of Palestine.

After President Clinton offered Yasser Arafat everything he was asking for to make peace and Arafat still refused, there has been no reason to negotiate further. That was back in 2000, 17 years ago. How long is civilization supposed to wait? How long are the civilized supposed to cater to the uncivilized?

It's time to move on.

The United States, under President Donald Trump, has finally done what it has long promised but never delivered. It has declared that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.

Negotiate for a piece of the future or Rage and be left behind.

The Gazan Dictatorship has elected to Rage.

But they are more alone than ever.

The Saudis are having mounting and costly problems of their own.

The Arabian grip on the worlds supply of oil has been broken and the spendthrift rich and bored House of Saud has had to do a bit of belt tightening. Some of them I hear are down to their last 3 Mercedes Benz'.

The Saudis are further taxed by their intervention in Yemen and conflict with arch enemy Iran. This leaves little room for the great unwashed of Gaza. In fact, this little charade they have been backing for decades has outlived it's usefulness to them.

The Saudis Need Israel

The Middle East now needs a real functioning economy that goes beyond oil. That means they need trading partners who preferably have an economy of their own. Israel just happens to have a bustling economy. It's a growing state and a going concern. It also helps that Israel and Iran don't get along well...to say the least.

This leaves the "Palestinians" in a tough spot. THEY don't have an economy beyond local olive growers. They've NEVER had an economy beyond local olive growers. All they've gotten good at is building rockets and digging tunnels. This hasn't been a winning strategy for them.

They've had their chances and they've been offered many more but Hamas, the un-elected armed group of militant Muslims that run Gaza has refused to negotiate. Should the world wait for them?

Look upon the shining cities of Israel like Tel Aviv and then gaze at the shoddy concrete bunkers their Muslim counterparts live in and have lived in for decades in poverty and want. It should be enough of a difference to behold that even the most fervent Muslim fanatic should say to themselves; "I'm doing something wrong!"

But I guess not.

So Hamas and the unfortunate Gazans will continue to fight a war they will never ever ever win. Not in one million years. They are poor dependents and you can't go to a poor dependent when you need money. They will continue to spin their wheels in the soft sands of a Jihadi Neverland, no closer to their pipe dreams of laying claim to Jerusalem than they ever have been and now they are farther away than ever. They never had a legitimate claim to begin with and until Hamas decides to negotiate in good faith for a homeland...somewhere, they will just stay right where they are without a real government, a real economy and any hope for a real future.

For the Gazans, poverty is a poor bargaining chip. But regardless, it looks like they've chosen, once again, to be left behind.

So leave them behind.

America's Hypersensitivity to Speech


There is nothing you can say today that won't offend SOMEBODY and that somebody wants you to STOP speaking.

Doesn't matter who you are these days, you're going to say something wrong. And when you do, there will be someone there to complain because THEY didn't like what you said.

Well Boo Hoo!

Soldiers Know What They're Getting Into

The fact that you are going to be shot at with bad intention is always being drilled into your head in boot camp. The very reason you are trained to follow orders is to keep you from looking around when someone yells "duck!" so you won't get your fool head shot off. It's the first thing they tell you.

Just being a soldier means the odds of you getting killed go up dramatically. Many soldiers are killed in training. Many are killed by their own fellow soldiers, mostly in error. Then there are the people actually trying to kill you.

If you want "Politician Speak" then vote for a politician. Most people, and don't get me started about the popular vote, most people voted for a non-politician, Donald Trump, because they were tired of the Bullshit they were hearing from professional politicians. So here he is and don't be surprised by what he says or suddenly decide to hold him to some phony "Presidential Standard" that never existed before President Trump came along. Instead just come clean and admit it, you hate Trump. You'll be a lot more believable.

Now if you actually voted for Donald Trump and are still offended by anything he may say, all I can tell you is to Shut Up!

You knew what you were getting into.

Women ARE Sex Objects

And so are MEN. Duh! For those of us who desire to have sex with a woman, we look at women to evaluate their suitability for sex and child bearing. Women also OBJECTIFY men in a fashion to determine if they would like to propagate their genes with them based upon their ability to deliver, ahem, the goods. That means "have sex" for the literary challenged.

What Harvey Weinstein was doing didn't have much to do with actual sex. Sexual contact to him was just an act of domination, like any rapist. He just wanted to lord his superiority over someone. This is why he acted as cavalier and brazen with men as he did with women.

Of course, you can't cheat an honest man. The people who laid down for  Mr. Weinstein over the years and put up with his cravings just to keep their jobs are just Prostitutes themselves and are no better than he is.

Oh what price fame!

But to attack men for treating women as sex objects is stupid since both men and women are sex objects to each other and sometimes their own. To deny that is to deny human instinct.

You see, women ogle men just as much as men ogle women but since men have a narrower range of vision, we get caught much easier looking at a woman's rear end. A woman's field of vision is much wider than a mans and she is able to see your behind quite clearly while pretending to look somewhere else.

I swear some of these chicks complaining just need to get laid.

Banning Halloween

Halloween is older than Christianity. Much older. It goes all the way back to the early campfires of Man. It falls on either October 31 or November 1st depending on tradition but it is the evening when the veil between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead is the thinnest and people believed, and they still believe, that communication with the recently departed is likely at this time of year.

Plus Halloween is a good time to dress up and pull pranks.

So what is wrong with dressing up like an Indian?  Indians suddenly in denial they dressed in feathers and skins? How about a Chinese Coolie? Did they not exist. Are the Chinese suddenly ashamed of their past? How about dressing as a Cowboy. Didn't they shoot Indians? And didn't Indians shoot Cowboys? Why are we trying to pretend this all didn't happen?

If children dressed up as Colonial or British Soldiers then they'd be accused of White Supremacy.

I heard some idiot on NPR today saying that for an immigrant to assimilate into American Culture would mean they'd be forced into "White Culture". Never mind that most immigrants actually come here to become Americans.

You just can't win.

John McCain Cannot Drop Dead Fast Enough

If you can find a person more bitter and dislocated than Senator John McCain these days, please point them out. Hillary Clinton, by comparison, is but a distant second place.

Here is a man who tried for the U.S. presidency, had the backing of his party, the GOP, had money'd backers behind him and thought he had a good chance of winning.

But he was the only one. Turns out he was a cantankerously terrible candidate who mistakenly picked a real conservative as a running mate who only highlighted how much of a "made man" he was with the establishment party. John McCain was nominated to lose. Sorta like that basketball team that always played the Harlem Globetrotters and always lost. That team was aptly named The Washington Generals. Mr. McCain was the captain of the team.

And now he sees a non-politician, untrained in diplomatic speech and uninitiated in the GOP go out and win the presidency with no experience and no political affiliation.

Hate is radiating off of John McCain like heat waves from an Arizona highway in the summertime.

Never mind the brain tumor, THIS is what's REALLY killing him. McCain would have rather seen Hillary Clinton win the White House than Donald Trump. Go ahead, somebody, ASK HIM!

This haunts him like nothing else McCain has ever experienced. You stupid MORON! No, not Trump, but YOU PEOPLE who voted for Trump.

Now Mr. McCain is going to shoot down and blow up everything Donald Trump has promised and is working for and in doing so, working against the American people who voted for Trump. John McCain is going to show you how futile it is to want to improve the standard of living of the American people. He'll show you.

John McCain is a bitter, bitter little man.

Truths

But the truth of it all is that in America, this is all protected speech. This "outrage" is designed to distract you and silence you. These idiots kneeling, these people offended, should mean nothing to you. You shouldn't be distracted, in fact you should just ignore it and stay focused on the real issues of the day: That the Affordable Care Act is killing your insurance coverage and that the American Taxpayer needs a Goddamned break! We need small business back in business and all this hoopla is just a front to keep you from holding the people responsible accountable for their actions.

Now that's an outrage.

San Juan Mayor Can't Find U.S. Aid!


It seems that Carlin Yulin Cruz, the Mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico cannot find any disaster relief that has been sent to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria flattened the place. Even though she gave a press conference while standing in front of tons of relief materials left standing on the docks.

It's like watching a horror movie where the victim is wandering around in a big dark house. We can see the killer looming to strike but THEY can't see the killer. We yell, "Quick, turn around, it's right behind you, Look! Look!" but the character just does not see what is plain to everybody in the movie theater.

"Ms. Cruz, turn around, it's right behind you, Mira! Mira!

But no, the Left Wing Mayor cannot see what is plain to see by everyone else.

Did she purposely leave everything piling up at the docks? Were there no local teams put together to distribute these goods? Although there was a sense of urgency in her voice, there didn't appear to be urgent actions taken to tear open those pallets and get that stuff out to the countryside. There were news reports of aid being shipped to Puerto Rico as soon as the storm had passed. What happened to it?

We know what happened to it.

If there were no local teams to distribute these foodstuffs and water, President Trump is correct in his assessment that it is a matter of bad organization. With modern weather services we can now see a storm coming weeks away. It's not like the Hurricane of 1938, there's no excuse for a municipality not to be ready for such contingencies. Disaster recovery is just the sort of thing you have a municipal government for. It's supposed to be what they do.

The Vietnamese were able to haul giant howitzers over mountains and carry supplies 500 miles at a time all on the backs of the people yet in Puerto Rico they can't get people to come get the food? There seems to be a lack of motivation somewhere along the line.

That Leftist mouthpiece, National Public Radio, has been trying to make Puerto Rico out to be President Trump's Hurricane Katrina and have been typically quick to pounce on anything to use the "K" word. Now they have Mayor Cruz in the fold and she has become the Media's darling, another in a long line of Anti-Trump champions. You go girl!

You remember Hurricane Katrina right? That was the Left Wing's opening to attack GW Bush for Federal inaction even though the Democrat Mayor of New Orleans, convicted felon Ray Nagin, and late Democrat Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco both got the heck out of Dodge before the storm and left everybody to face the wrath of Mother Nature themselves. So much for setting an example. There was no leadership during the storm, they just screwed. Evacuation buses stood empty and stationary since there was no one to drive them and people who did manage to get out were left in the Houston AstroDome to live through a remake of "Lord of the Flies".

Well all that was George Bush's fault.

But ultimately this whole charade is yet another grandstanding waste of time and money. To anyone paying attention, and we're all paying attention these days, it means nothing. Nobody's opinion will be swayed and it all amounts to a hill of beans. Trump's bitter clingers will hold on tighter to their Bible's and guns and Hillary's Commies will grip their microphones and camera stands with more vigor.

The real tragedy is that the people who are actually waiting for this stuff now probably believe it's the Federal Government that dropped the ball when it was their own home grown Apparatchik who just let the supplies sit on the docks to fit an agenda of subterfuge and propaganda. Or maybe they know the score, who knows?

But of all the many things the Mayor of Puerto Rico has said during this recovery effort of a totally devastated island, the one phrase you will not hear pass her lips is...

"If there is a will, there is a way."

We see what we see. Not action on the part of the government of Puerto Rico to take charge and get something accomplished. Instead they stand in front of piles of supplies they say didn't come and stand around while the mainland flies in troops to hand it out for them.

Hey wait, maybe this IS Katrina after all!

Liberals Kneel While America Stands


Kneeling is an act of capitulation. It is a sign of submission. Look it up.

And that's what we have seen over the last 8 years under the last president and what we continue to see in almost every facet of the public media.

Capitulation. Submission.

These are the same people who don't mind if the country is over run with illegal immigrants who often are supplied public benefits such as housing, medical care and even social security payments that they never paid into. To the Liberal factions among us, this is ok. They need it, they say. It's their RIGHT, they say. Neither, however, is the case.

These are the same people who also don't seem to mind that people from known hostile lands such as Syria, Yemen, Libya and Somalia can come into our county with no scrutiny. If fact the Left has gone out of it's way to fight for their RIGHT to come into this country unimpeded. Under the United States Constitution they have no such rights.

But this makes no difference to the Liberal front and it never did.

There are many on the Left who feel America is bad. The last President of the United States...what's his name, was their champion. Born with every privilege yet deciding it was all wrong. These people have lost sight of how lucky they are. They have lost sight of the history of hard work and sacrifice that the "American All" has put into making these United States so unique to this world we live in.

There are too many examples to list, where does one start with American History? White men fought to end slavery, African men fought the war too. The bones of thousands of Chinese lie along the path of the great Transcontinental Railway. The Italians and Irish fought for limited space in the Industrial Revolution and ended up marrying each other in great numbers. The German families that raced into the Midwest to start farms during the Great Plains expansion. The one thing in common was; Everybody had it tough! They all fought, they all competed and every race that came to this country can claim a victory. They've all had members become successes.

But the American Experiment has a learning curve. It's comparatively short history is paved with conflict and strife inherent in such a highly mixed society. Go ahead, name another society as diverse as ours. I'm waiting.

So when someone says that we as a nation are not diverse, that the American Ideal does not provide adequate opportunity, I would say that you have an alternate agenda since there cannot be a statement farther from the truth.

The American people, those who get up every morning and hump their way to work, put up with a lot of crap. Crap from other countries who's jealousies are worn on their sleeves and come to the UN in New York, eat cracked crab, drink champagne and then stand up and say the U.S. is the Great Satan. Crap from our home-grown Liberal "Elite", with monied families and who graduated privates schools who think they are the smartest people in the room and dictate to every day working taxpayers how bad the country is and how undeserving of the things we have because we were born white when there are millions of non-whites doing very well here. Apparently they didn't get the memo they were supposed to be down-trodden.

We took crap from the last president who thought we clung bitterly to past traditions and to our guns. He thought that we had too much when others had less. He never had a job in his life so could not value to work ethic of the average American. When one is pushed through life, it's hard to know what it's like to have to pull.

And now the American people are taking crap from our over privileged professional athletes who have been given every chance to develop their careers from a young age and never appreciated it. Most never take advantage of the education they are given a chance to obtain since most professional football players never graduate the colleges they've played for and who knows if they ever went to a class.

When Pat Tillman left the Arizona Cardinals to enlist to fight in Afghanistan, everybody in the league thought he was CRAZY to give up a $3.6 million contract to go fight for the United States overseas.

That's all you need to know.

The American people are tired of this Crap. That's why they elected Donald Trump president. President Trump is also tired of this Crap. How do I know? Because he SAYS SO! That's why the American people voted for him.

Who else did you think, the Russians?

The jeers that President Trump received from his speech at the United Nations was obscene. Who can disagree with the analogy that Socialism worked as it always does in Venezuela? Who can defend such a subjugation of an entire nation to the yoke of debt and ruin? Who can speak to that and say that Mr. Trump is wrong?

The Liberals can and do. How sick!

President Trump isn't into capitulation and it's about time.

There are people out there who want to cut our heads off. They want to walk into the nearest shopping mall with an automatic weapon and shoot as many Americans as they can. There are people who want to drive up on the sidewalk and run over as many "infidels" as they can before they are stopped. We have nuclear escalations in Iran and North Korea, we have an economy that is still stumbling along thanks to the last presidential administration and the American worker and American industry is badly in need of tax cuts and the end to Socialized Medicine. American workers everywhere are just trying to hold on to what they've got and forget about retirement and what do they see when they turn on the television?

Millionaires kneeling to protest "Oppression".

Are you kidding me?

I agree with Donald Trump. Fire these people. If the NFL owners defend them, hit them in the pocket book. The NFL only exists because the U.S. Congress has granted them an exception from anti-trust laws. But do they appreciate that?

No they don't.

Sanders Sells His Soul


He should have been the Democratic Nominee. And he would have been the nominee had the Democratic National Committee not secretly colluded with the Hillary Clinton Campaign to freeze him out of the race.

Votes were stolen. Support was not supplied and super delegates were appointed to stand against him. All of the time, effort, work and MONEY that went into the Bernie Sanders for President campaign was in the end just a Dog and Pony Show for the RUBES. 

It's not like Hillary was somehow surprised this was going on. She was in on the whole con. It was she who was driving the bus when it ran over the Sander's campaign and don't let anybody kid you. The DNC dances to Hillary's tune and not the other way around. 

Still, Sanders had a chance. His message was being heard, his vigor was infectious and his campaign proved popular. I believe he got most of the votes but we'll never know because his weren't counted. Bernie Sanders had his nomination literally taken, stolen from him and his substantial voter base.

Julian Assange really only confirmed what we already knew: That the Democratic Establishment conspired with the Clinton Campaign to deliver Hillary the nomination as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States. 

How historic was this challenge? In many ways it did make history. Hillary’s campaign will go down in U.S history as the most underhanded demonstration of campaign skulduggery in the modern era. 

That we know of.

Fairness, Fairness, Fairness…

After all this, one can better appreciate the theme of this year’s Democratic National Convention. It’s all about fairness, unity and establishing a level playing field for the American citizen. The Democratic candidate will seek to promote fairness and transparency at every level of government.

All put forth without a hint of irony or even a facial tick.

Sander’s Supporters just Bad Sports

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz addressed the crowd at the opening of the convention with these inspiring words for the disgruntled Sanders delegates:

“Come now people, you’re just being ridiculous. You are just uninformed about how the game is played. This is national politics and we can’t have a guy like Sanders win the Democratic Nomination, can’t you see? Listen, we had a process and fair or unfair you lost so suck it up and vote for Hillary. What? You mean you all thought you were part of a national movement? You’re kidding, right? You people are more naive than we thought. You all fucked up, you trusted us! You thought we would treat each candidate fairly and without preference. Well it doesn’t work that way so grow up and meet the real world!”

“Oops, gotta go!”

And with that, she was gone.

Everything Free in America!

But Bernie’s legacy will live on in the Democratic Party Platform:
  • Free College Tuition: But no jobs to go to. And since we all know how highly people regard free things, the value of a public college education won’t be much if this should happen.
  • Raise the National Minimum Wage: No jobs will come of this either. If you can’t pay $10.00 an hour you’re not going to be able to pay $15.00. Not for a crumby job only worth $7.50.
  • Renegotiate College Debt: This is good because this actually hits a government program up to renegotiate the bad-deal loans they have been handing out to anyone who applies since they took over the student loan program. So essentially it will be the government cutting the money it will receive. Odds of that happening: Zero.
  • Universal Child Care: Everybody’s kid gets to go to a daycare facility free!  This idea has also been flown as Universal Kindergarten. Just another government program for another government paycheck for another class of government employees. Oh, and who is going to pay for that? Answer: You.
  • Paid Family Leave: More holidays for American workers paid for by, ultimately, the American worker! It can't get any better than that!

Bernie Endorses Hillary!

I checked the temperature in Hell this morning when I woke up and it was 20 degrees F! It surely was a cold day in Hell as Bernie stood up and told his die-hard supporters that HILLARY CLINTON was the best person for the job of President of the United States! 

Did they believe it? Hell NO! 

Did Bernie believe it? Hell NO!

Does ANYBODY believe it?

HELL NO!

So in the end Bernie sells out on the floor of the Democratic Convention in order to get his agenda adopted as part of the party platform.

But nobody is buying it.

Hillary Picks Crazy-Looking Fat White Guy for Vice President

Can they take a picture of this guy that doesn’t make him look demented? Is such a thing possible? I just get a weird vibe off of the visuals of this guy since before this I’ve never laid eyes on Tim Kaine before. Now that I have, I’m not so sure of what I’m seeing. He reminds me of the uncle in the family you didn’t leave the kids alone with.

Again, the Sanders supporters just have to grin and bear it, right? Hillary is the nominee and that’s just the way it is, ok?

National Public Radio is on board. CNN is on board. The DNC is on board too.

So shut up and sit down!

Allan Greenspan Won't Go Away!

Allan Greenspan has become the “Go to” sage of the economy. Bloomberg media has interviewed him recently and in this insightful report confirms that Mr. Greenspan believes: The economy remains sluggish.

He also said until companies start spending money and the housing market comes back the economy will remain sluggish.

We had to go to Allan Greenspan for this?

The BBC also has run an interview with Mr. Greenspan concerning the national debt and how both U.S. political parties are ignoring the problem and how the nation is "heading for a fall" to sum up the situation. He sites a lack of "Political Will".

Mr. Greenspan certainly ought to know about a lack of political will; he played a major role in the destruction of the U.S. economy these seven going on eight long years ago with the crash of the American housing market. Had he done his job and stood his ground on interest rates, we would not have crashed and burned the economy in the first place but instead Allan Greenspan, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, the protector of the American Banking industry played politics and continued to lower the borrowing rates until they hit the floor and basically just giving away money for loans. To this day we don't know how much money Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has cost the American taxpayer.

And when we hit the wall at 100 mph what did Mr. Greenspan say? "Oh, sorry, my mistake." and took his retirement millions and flew off on a private jet.

But he didn't fly away far enough.

Allen Greenspan failed us. He favored his big business buddies and kept the credit flowing right to the end even though he was warned in 2004 by a Republican committee. Now at 88, what has this guy have to say that anyone will listen to? He has a lot of gall to stand out in the media and preach economic reason. Why would he even show his face after the chaos he has wrought? 

But very much like disgraced plagiarizing historian and National Public Radio & Public Broadcasting Service darling Doris Kearns Goodwin who is still writing and promoting books on history regardless of the fact that nothing in them can now be believed, Mr. Greenspan is still out there attempting to cover his tracks and the national media is still pretending that anybody really gives a shit about what this fraudster has to say about anything.

Why does anybody ask this man's opinion anymore? Is there really no such thing as bad publicity? Will people tune in just to hate the guy? Perhaps but I’d be mindful to be aware of what outfits are advertising on the article and remind myself not to buy anything from them. This is the only power we beleaguered taxpayers have left.

The generalities in which the government media speaks to the public just glosses over the real issues. Sure the housing market is slow because people need good credit again, duh!

There is also a lack of inventory…but WHY?

Because people are WORRIED!

Why are they worried, isn't the economy coming back?

If people believed that, they wouldn't be worried.

But the consumer confidence index has risen!

Says who, the national media?

When people are worried they don’t move. They don’t buy up to a new house, they make do with the one they have. If the housing market is any indication, people aren't moving. Quite the opposite, they're staying put.

If people aren't worried about the future they take risks with their resources. I don’t see much risk taking. There are plenty of empty storefronts that tell me people aren't risking their jobs or finances to start a new enterprise and if you have a job right now, you holding onto it with BOTH hands. I know I am.

If I were to lose my job, I don't have a lot of confidence that I will find another one anytime soon. Nobody's leaving where I work and we don't pay that great for the most part. Nobody I know is seriously looking for another job either.

So, how are YOU feeling?

Exactly.

I do see the costs of doing business continuing to rise. The cost of medical insurance rose. The taxes taken out of our checks this year was far more than last year. Property taxes have risen. My auto insurance has gone up. I received a notice that for the first quarter at least, my gas utilities will cost more.

People have become more expensive to hire in the private sector and the public sector has not decreased at nearly the rate of the private sector. This is bad news.

The public sector does not produce wealth; it spends it and regardless of what Nancy Pelosi says, public sector jobs do not constitute a gain to the economy. They have a negative impact because the money that goes to the public sector first has to be earned privately and then transferred, by other people in the public's employ who also expect a paycheck, to the public "trust". That's called "overhead" and there's a pant-load of that in government. That's Japan's problem and that's our problem. Did I mention the pension benefits?

It stands to reason that for the private citizen to move the economy by their conscious choices in what they purchase, they first must get their money back into their pocket. The government can't make their purchasing choices for them and be successful. Here they have failed by trying to pick our doctors and our schools to name but two things they have dictated to the people. The Public Sector must be cut for the economy to move forward. Right now they take too much but it's just easier politically to keep raising taxes and fees until we're all out in the street.

Right now the only municipalities doing anything about their public sector overhead are the ones which have already declared bankruptcy.

So what is a "job" really? Is it a result of government putting up someone else's money to fund a program? No. It is people risking their own resources to start an enterprise and working to grow it. And from this work, this risk, the government takes a piece of their production and puts it towards their programs.

So, no, that job "created" by the public sector does not add to the economy. The money would have gone farther and done more good had it remained in the pockets of the people who first earned it. Then THEY could support the businesses of THEIR choosing.

This of course would have cut out the "middleman" of government and we can't have that, can we?

So a viable reason for the "Sluggish" economy could be: Fear of the future.

"Oh, but Wal Man, you have such a Pie in the Sky approach to this issue, there is no Utopia you naive Son of a Bitch!"

No there isn't but since things have gone SO WELL the way it’s been going, we might as well stick with what the government is doing, yes?

You don't see what COULD HAVE been done or created had the money remained with the taxpayer. All you get to see is what government did with it and for the most part, they have squandered it inefficiently amongst their pet vote-buying projects like the drug war, foreign interventions and welfare give-a-way programs that help nobody in the long run.

It’s certainly time for a different approach.

I wish Greenspan could have said this but would anybody have believed him?

How can we miss you Mr. Greenspan if you won't go away?

National Public Radio: Last Believers in Global Warming


It’s about time that our nationally sponsored government radio stations across the United States just drop the whole Climate Change/Global Warming shtick once and for all since it’s quite obvious that nobody inside or outside of the public sector still believes it was actually happening.
The revelations of collusion between the Global Warming science “community” has long been brought to the light of day as is clear and mounting evidence,formerly suppressed or just never reported in the mainstream, revealing that for the last 17 years temperatures have not been rising but actually dropping after all.

Even staunch Leftists have been coming clean about the situation, the smartest of them already seeing the writing on the wall. Some have simply stopped attacking the Denialists and have just shut their mouths already.  Perhaps they can tour the talk circuit with the tagline: “I was a Climate Change believer” thereby gaining some added sustenance by reveling how they were duped or coerced by an evil government management into going along with the game. Maybe they could go on Oprah and talk about how they feel so used.
But tune into any NPR radio station any time of any day and you will never know that anything has changed. They will have either a panel discussion or a guest commentator who talk about how "more needs to be done" concerning the “settled science” of Climate Change which is how they’ve been trying to structure the argument ever since they realized their pseudo-science wasn’t holding up to scrutiny. 

Changing the name, it was hoped, would lend an air of ambiguousness to their Climate Science since people were seeing through their bogus Global Warming cabal that saw people like former democratic presidential candidate for the presidency of the United States, Al Gore, go from a lowly Millionaire to a more respectable Billionaire and saw just oodles of public funds funneled to American universities and scientists to “study” the problems in the fevered hope that someday they will find a solution, wink wink!

And the change in semantics was so clever, so subtle, one day the phrase is Global Warming and then the next day it’s Climate Change and so NOBODY NOTICED!
But it is a new world these days. There are no secrets. Or at the very least there aren’t enough people who can keep a secret anymore and so everything comes out eventually.

So it’s time for the good Leftists over at The People’s Radio Station to just drop the act. They’ve been able to keep a straight face for this long and that’s a marketable skill when one works for the government, especially the kind of government we’ve had to put up with for the last couple of decades, but it’s over.
It’s time that someone tell them that the propaganda war is over and THEY LOST.

To continue with an obvious charade is tiresome and, frankly, embarrassing. The money is sure to dry up so isn’t there some “Income Inequality” or “Services Access Disparity” for these good Comrades to jump on now? Surely there is another rainbow to chase now that the Political Lefts Holy Grail has turned out to be a shoddy pewter beer mug.
Maybe they can hold a fund raiser to retrain all the Climate Chicken Little’s to do something else with their lives. Perhaps they could be retrained for a new and completely different line of work. How about Journalism School?

Or perhaps the best of these Global Cooling Deniers at NPR could just transfer over to Bloomberg Radio and add a little more mileage to their careers since it will likely be Bloomberg , the station started by the former Crazed Mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg renowned for his Billions of dollars and certifiable odd behavior, that will hold onto the Global Warming party line to the last man, woman and Bolshevik.
But it makes no difference at this point in time since the argument, science, and quixotic belief in Global Warming as a man-made phenomenon is over.

It’s about time NPR got the news.

National Media “All In” For Obama


Everywhere you look there’s a dig at Mitt Romney. All media circles on the Internet have captions either proclaiming some gaff by Romney or some new accolade for the President.

Reuter’s, The Associated Press, NPR and MSN have always been in the bucket for Obama with their over-the-top gushing for everything Obama and overt bashing of everything Tea Party and Republican but every link is directly connected to something praising “our dear leader” or mentioning some slip on a banana peel by his “most disloyal opponent”.  They are all compromised in some fashion whether it’s a link or a directly published article. Quite frankly it’s disgusting how soundly these outfits have been bought and paid for by the government machine. 
Look at what's out there now on every outlet except for The Savage Nation and The Drudge Report. 
Google news is a great example because none of there so called “news” links have anything promising to say about Mitt Romney. None. There are no links with anything good to say about the presidential hopeful? I’ll bet there is, somewhere. But Google, for all their eggheads working there, can’t seem to come up with one. How strange.

Bottom line is that there are no longer any trusted news sources on the national level. If they can’t be trusted to bring you the news or even give us the real time line on the Bengazi consulate attack, then there is not a word to be believed in ANY of their content. You are on your own as a truth consumer. You’ll just have to go find it yourself and not rely on big media “News”. You’d be a fool to do so. Every story is suspect.
I think Mitt Romney fell for the latest news “plant” where Jeep “announced” they were moving production to China. Mitt’s people pounced on it but then Jeep came out and said they were doing nothing of the sort, in fact they were going to create more jobs in Detroit and that Mitt was lying about the whole thing. This smacks of a set-up. This is what the truth is up against in this country.

So what we have is a propaganda machine that has seen few rivals in the history of the world and will perhaps be the envy of Statists and Dictators everywhere.
So while you’re watching the Evening “news” on TV and thinking how wonderful we are to live in a free society, I’d say you should think again.

Vote for Obama, Get a Phone


Although NPR and other media outlets on the political left manage to trot out the “young single mother of two holding down two jobs but just can’t seem to make ends meet” type person to represent the 47% of the population that are on public assistance programs, we all have seen the other 46.975% that are not only gaming the system but are the decedents of people who have gamed the system.

And let’s be fair, it’s not just a black thing, a white thing, an immigrant thing or a Hispanic thing. People from all walks of life are receiving government giveaways. And it’s not like it used to be either, it’s just not that hard a game to play anymore .
It’s a lot like going on a TV game show and winning a TV. It’s just the Government perpetuating itself.  Now that it’s all Federal dollars doled out by the nameless and faceless, all one has to do is apply. Or, using what just happened to me this week as an example, one doesn’t even have to apply. I received from the State two cards that ENTITLE me to discounts on prescription drugs up to $150.00 per year. They don’t even have my name on them and the letter says they are fully transferable. I can just give ‘em to somebody else and they can use them too.

And how did I manage to weedle this perk out of the State? I requested a list of medical plans that the State offers people who don’t have a medical plan through their work. I got the list last week very well and then the discount cards show up out of the blue. What a country!
Perhaps you’re saying that $150.00 isn’t that much money to give away per year but imagine how many cards the State must give out. Add this to all the other giveaways, the EBT cards, the MassHealth cards the Section 8 housing subsidie and whatever else is offered that we never hear about.

Makes me wonder why they don’t advertise this discount like they do Food Stamps. I’ll guess that the State will need to be getting this money from somewhere to cover the increase in use of these programs. That means either increased health premiums for people who do pay or higher taxes. 

But with the current tax burden putting pressure on small business and big business alike, how will they respond to increases? They’ll have to lay people off which leads to a downward spiral of State dependency. This has become one hell of a voting bloc and it will be hard to overcome for a candidate that wishes to do something about the staggering deficits and the coming inflation. It’s a hard sell to say we’re going to cut your Welfare. Of course, this is what the current regime desires.

People will vote for their benefits. Heck, people will march and destroy to keep their benefits. Just look at Greece and Spain! These people either don’t believe or don’t care if their economy crashes and burns just as long as they get their check. Their political leaders are as much to blame or more so since they’re the ones who voted to give pensions to people retiring at 50 years old without thought to the economic consequences. How responsible does it look to join a new consolidated currency and immediately give it all away? I mean, that's what government does, right?
But look no further than the United States. With the Federal Reserve now buying mortgage debt with borrowed and printed money, can our bureaucrats manage to keep our economic house of cards up much past the 2012 election?  An ambitious idea, buying debt with debt but will it work? It is apparent that the only goal of all this economic 3 card is to make it past the election. After that, who knows. 

Wonder what excuses we’ll hear then.
