State Governors Killing the Economy

By now people should have figured this out. The lockdowns are not about public safety. They are about purging the optimism of the Trump Economy. They are about destroying what the last four years has built. 

It isn't the Virus that is doing this, it is the actions of the Governors and especially the Leftist Governors in the states of Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Michigan etc. They are purposely killing their economies with their shutdowns, rollouts and then return to shutdowns. They have just dangled hope of opening to these businesses for months when initially they said "three weeks". It's all bullshit and quite illegal since none of these actions have been taken with approval of the state legislatures. But the governors own the courts, they appoint the judges and they authorize their pay so when citizens appeal to the judicial branch, they get BUPKIS!

Living in Fear

There's very little truth being told over the airwaves and this is just the way things are going to be from now on with the recent overthrow of the Republic. You still have the same remote chance of succumbing to the Virus as you had 9 months ago which is less than 2%. The idea that nobody is dying from anything else these days should be a point for pause. The regular flu used to kill about 35 to 55 thousand people a year in the USA but I guess that it doesn't any more. 

As Dean Wormer said back in the movie Animal House, "Fat, Dumb and Stupid is no way to go through life, son." and I have to conquer. You call this living? Living in fear of your fool life and afraid to live it? This is what this country was built on? I'm frankly surprised at how many Rubes bought into this scheme so quickly and so totally to the point where they'll walk in the street with their back to traffic just to avoid walking past me on the side walk. I say to them "You know, you can be killed doing that." and they never say anything back or change their stride. It's one big con and here we are 9 months on they STILL haven't figured it out! 

Quite frankly, I'm appalled at the behavior. Yes, you can get sick and die. But you can do that every day of the week every year of your life. Death stalks the human race every day. 

As social-psychologist Sheldon Solomon said in Michael Moorer's great environment scam expose' Planet of the Humans, "You can step out of your house and get hit by a fucking meteor!" And he's right. Any time you step off the curb to cross the street could be your last time. So you don't stay huddled in your house because of that? Concern for your life (or others for that matter) isn't causing you to drive the speed limit and almost 40 thousand people die each year driving. And many are not pleasant deaths. 

It makes no sense to me, this abject, all-consuming...fear.

Moving the Goal Posts

Another action that should turn on the bell in you noggin' is that first the Vaccine will help us return to "a normal life" but now that it's actually been discovered and is being rolled out, the tune about it's restorative effects has changed. It's no longer the Elixir of Normalcy that it was touted as. Why? 

Because the election isn't quite over yet. Until President Trump is actually out of the White House, this isn't going to let up. AND since the lockdown orders has worked so well on the dutiful public, they will want to see how long they can keep this going. 

We could be wearing masks come this time next year. And we already know the people who will NEVER take them off again. 

I am not my brother's keeper but you all don't know how silly or craven you look when I see you all on the sidewalk, OUTSIDE or driving INSIDE YOUR CAR with the windows rolled up WEARING A STUPID MASK. 

Why the Governor's aren't wearing masks or staying home.

This is because they know something you don't. That the chances of them keeling over from the Virus is remote. That's why they're ordering restaurants and businesses to shut down one minute and the next they're either in the hair solon, dining out with friends or in a meeting with 20 people without masks. They aren't worried one whit!

You wanna be a drone and live like that, have at it. But your being played and have been from the beginning. Don't know when you all will smarten up but for the sake of the soon-to-be-lost Republic, I hope it's sooner than later. 

Our loss of Freedom

You're not going to like the future if the future is going to look like this. I don't people have gotten it yet, the implications of what has just happened. They're still saying "We'll beat them next time!" when there will be no next time. No fair time next time any way. If allowed to stand, this Conspiracy of Leftist States will become the routine. And once a group convinces themselves that this was the right thing to do, they will forever delude themselves that their next step will be right also.

Voting with your Feet

New Yorkers have got the right idea. They're leaving the city and the state in droves in a Dysphoria of the Affluent. The people who can't work from home or afford to just pick up and leave will be stuck with the bill. 

This has been happening in California also and is spreading across the country. The U.S. will stratify, I think, leaving the blue states very blue and the red states very red. Finding a place where there are people who think like you will be the main attraction and also not be picking your pocket every other day. 

The Coming Fallout

You can't defy gravity for long. There will be a corresponding crash of some kind as a result of all this government spending and no money coming into the tax coffers. It's simple accounting that nobody is counting on to rear it's ugly head. They think the Federal government will just write a check and they'll be fine. But the Feds are $30 Trillion in the hole already. What ever check they write is borrowed. The states, like New York, were also in the red and what ever check they get will not be enough. Here in Massachusetts, they've not laid off one public services worker. Nobody is riding the trains, few are working in the city of Boston. They're not spending money to park, ride the trains, at restaurants, going to movies or plays, it's mostly stopped. So where is the city or state going to get the money to pay all these people? 

Just wonder. So should everybody. Especially the Governor. 

Mail-in Voter Fraud

Having the U.S. Postal Service administer a mass mail-in voter ballot-by-mail distribution project on a national level is like having your local Parks & Recreation Commission running the Mission to Mars.

As an alternative to this I suggest bringing back the Pony Express. Or perhaps we can implement Vote by Telegraph. THAT would be faster.

While the cash-strapped, massively debt-ridden, disorganized and antiquated postal service can still get a letter across the country for what amounts to a pittance, an email still beats them by four days, 23 hours & 58 seconds. While UPS and FedEx, two massive private enterprises run circles around them and make a profit, the U.S. Postal service hemorrhages money yearly by the Billions. Today USPS is just a massive, government-mandated money pit that has undergone cutbacks, austerity programs and reductions in workforce to try to stop the bleeding. 

This is the organization we are going to entrust to suddenly send millions of ballots to every registered voter in these United States? I’m always getting other people’s mail in my mailbox even though their mailboxes have their names clearly on them, can the rank and file postal service employee, mostly non-employee “casual” staff who are paid a lower salary than the regular carriers and have fewer benefits, care enough to even try? They have recently requested $25 Billion to pay for the delivery of the Mail-in Voting ballots but the Feds could give them $50 Billion and they're still not going to get the ballots delivered on time and there is nobody still connected to this organization that is happy. 

Rather than throwing good money after bad, the Federal government should finally allow the U.S. Postal Service to finally face the huge financial reckoning that should send it the way of the Dodo bird and the Dirigible. 

This is how this is going to turn out

Having heard the reports of people receiving mail-in ballots for people who last lived at particular addresses for up to 16 years, I can’t help but believe that the country is already being flooded with ballots. When these ballots are returned en mass, the local town and city clerks, who rely heavily on volunteers during votes, are going to have to verify each one. It is apparent that each municipality could potentially receive a much higher number of ballots in comparison to registered voters. The process of verifying these voters will drag on for a substantial period of time, not days. The ensuing chaos and lack of result will give incentive for the Leftist Media to declare old Joe Biden as the winner and start their screaming campaign for President Trump to immediately vacate the Whitehouse.  

Doubt me?

One doesn’t have to look far for an example. Take the state of New York’s 12^th Congressional District primary election. It took over a month to determine incumbent Representative Carolyn B. Maloney to win over challenger Suraj Patel in a race that saw 1 in 5 mail-in ballots or 20% of the approximately 65,000 votes cast, invalidated. This lead Mr. Patel to state “A 1 in 5 disenfranchisement rate is far too high for a developed democracy.”

And of course, this has now gone to the courts.

And this to me is actually what this is all about, the creation of potentially invalid votes aimed not to win an election but to throw the election into chaotic dispute, to make the outcome impossible to determine.

The 15^th and 16^th Congressional Districts also experienced the same delay and murky endings leading observers to speculate this obvious omen for the November election.

Not looking good if this is how the primaries are turning out.  

Undermining the Vote

The California Motor-Voter bill of 1993 was the first overt effort of the Left to undermine the vote. Conservatives have had a hard time there ever since. This was set up to insure that while you are getting your illegal drivers license, you can also register to vote. And as a result, a Republican presidential candidate hasn’t won California since the bill was implemented. Bill Clinton carried the state in 1992 and the Democrats have been dominant ever since. 

And it shows.

Constitution on the Ropes

Our democracy, already hanging by a thread and facing this latest “Attack of the Governors” who seem far too comfortable telling people what to do, where they can go, what to wear and determining what businesses are to succeed, balances on the precipice of a Totalitarian Regime.

But this time the threat doesn’t come from the Federal Government. This time it’s the Leftist state administrations that are driving the take-over and there seems to be little the Federal Government can do to counter this Economic Suicide mission they are on since the Governor’s don’t appear to care how much money they’re states are losing or how they ever hope to recover…after.

If there is an after.

Baltimore is a Dump!

And for as long as I can remember, Baltimore has had the reputation of being a "bad neighborhood".  I don't drive by the city often but I can't help but see it from Interstate RT-95 when I'm on my way back from somewhere else. I always take a long look at the place.

And I shudder. Who can imagine living there?

Baltimore Maryland is a perpetual welfare city. According to the national census, Maryland is the country's richest state with a median income of $69,272.00 per person so imagine what that means when you factor in the poorest city in the country! 

Did I mention that the current Mayor of Baltimore, Bernard Young, is a Democrat? I think the last Republican to run the city was in 1967. 

The last Mayor of Baltimore, Catherine Pugh, also a Democrat, was forced to resign due to a corruption scandal involving a children's book she 'wrote" and coerced the city school system to purchase. It wasn't much of a book but it was a hell of a crime.

Maryland also has a Democrat for a Governor, Larry Hogan. I don't much about him since, I really don't pay much attention to the state in general since I would never think of setting foot there for any reason. It's just a name on a map to me. Sorta like say, Suriname, a place that might as well be on the moon. The only time you hear of such places is when bad things happen there. 

Way back in the late 1980s I had a co-worker who was originally from North Carolina but he and his young wife moved to Baltimore, to start their life together. He was not familiar with the place but thought, since they were in their early 20s, that the city was a place they could build a life together.

But there was no work. Neither could get a job. Their money quickly ran out and they applied for public assistance. They were assigned an apartment. When they looked at the place, it was filthy, in a run-down building in a seedy area of the city. But they were stuck and had to make the most of it. The place was roach infested. When they started to clean the place up, he told me, there was a taped up cardboard box in a corner of the room. When he picked it up, the bottom fell out and "about 2000 cockroaches" hit the floor and scattered in all directions. He and his wife shared their first Baltimore freak-out during their eventful but short stay in that building. There was more but you get the picture. 

What that lead to was the two of them frantically calling any relative and extended family member they could recall in the hopes that one of them would let them stay with them for even just a little while. One of them, who worked with me, told them that if they could get there, they could stay with him for as long as it took to get settled. He told me they each packed one bag and went straight to the highway and thumbed the first truck that would take them closer to Massachusetts and farther away from Maryland. 

When the truck driver dropped them off at our towns highway rest-stop on Interstate RT-495, he drove off with their luggage and disappeared into the night. But that incident did not offset the relief they felt for finally getting out of Baltimore. 

Since that time Baltimore has gotten worse. 

Baltimore is a city of stark contrasts, the have's and the have-nots, empty buildings that serve as drug shooting-galleries a block away from a posh neighborhood, poor schools and poor people a block away from good schools and rich neighborhoods. Employment in much of the city is public employment since businesses are reluctant to move in. 

People who live in Baltimore will tell you that there are a lot of great places to go there, museums, restaurants, art centers and other attractions. 

But they will also warn you to be aware of your surroundings when out and not to walk and talk on your cell phone in public since this automatically makes you a target. They will also tell you to simply expect things to be stolen off of your porch and to not leave items visible in your car when you park. They will mention that your home insurance should cover break-ins. Everyone there will acknowledge that the crime rate is very high punctuated by a lot of shootings. 

In 2017, there were a reported 343 murders in Baltimore but the good news is that it dropped in 2018 to 309. 

But that could be anywhere in the country, right? 

Since the Freddy Gray incident, where six Baltimore policemen were put on trial for the negligent homicide of Mr. Gray whom they left unsecured with his hands cuffed behind his back in the police vehicle and who subsequently died as a result of falling against the door handle, arrests have gone down and crime has gone up. 

People there warn you not to come. Don't take my word for it, Google "Moving to Baltimore" and see what that gets you. Oh, there's some fake news out there but you'll know the real stuff when you read it. 

All the money Baltimore gets in Federal Aid doesn't seem to help things. That's because the money isn't there to actually help people, it's good jobs at good wages for the people who dole it all out. Those are the people the money is for.

Nothing seems to get better in Baltimore.  

At What Point Do You Stop Listening?

The press just can't get enough of the "feud" between President Trump and The Squad of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib and that overt Jew hater, Ilhan Omar.

It's the media corps that have elbowed Nancy Pelosi to the back of the room and put the spotlight on these four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse and it is they who are the reason that this is all a big deal.

It's not a big deal.

If you're worried that people may be believing all the zany things these people are saying just because they're all over the airwaves, I wouldn't be.

It isn't like the political arena lacks for want of crazy, prescription-drug crazed politicos because there seems to be no short supply.

I don't blame the Socialist Sisters for being camera hogs, I blame the people who are supplying the cameras. It's Fox News and "The World is Coming to an End" Drudge Report that are making the most political hay out of this. Talk about "It's all about the Benjamins".

All the accusations of "Racist" and constant media deluge of media hate towards the president, the wobbly GOP who would still rather have Hillary Clinton than prosperity and a good economy, the radical leftist states that every day announce another reason for their working citizens to get the hell out of there, it's all for naught. It's just the constant stream of nothingness and minutia that the "News" has become today. Nothing more than an incessant drone of negative energy, causing no good and if you listen too long, will cause mental instability.

In the Oppressive Ogres Corp where I work I share an office with another person. He's a political guy and a Trump supporter and each day he can't help but peruse MSN, CNN, Politico and other such non-sense media sights and read me some of what they say. He gets upset about it. I say, "I don't understand why you do this to yourself, you already know what they're going to say." But he can't help it. He gets even more upset when Fox says the same thing.

"Stop reading that crap!" I insist, "You're going to drive yourself Koo-Koo!"

And here we are.

I've checked out. I don't give a flying Phitt about what any of these people have to say or the so-called "conservative" media outlet that gives them a forum because I know it's all just about ratings and the advertising dollars they bring. Fox isn't in business to "Defend the Republic", they're in business to make a buck and if you're stupid enough to jump through a hoop or run into the streets in outrage every time they come up with a "Crisis' then you have nobody but yourself to blame. It's all just Street Theater for the Rubes.

As my older brother used to say to me all the time...

"Don't be an idiot."

It's not going to make one iota of a difference when it comes time to vote. Nobody is actually picking up what they're putting down and all the dead people in the country won't be able to out-vote the living when the time comes.

Because, quite frankly, even though we are not all "Brothers under the Skin" like most whackos want you to think, we do all want the same basic things.

We all want a roof over our head. We want a good livelihood for ourselves and a future for our children. This includes an acceptable level of education and opportunity for them to pursue their interests when they are old enough to decide and choose.

We all want...stuff! Whether it be a nicer car than most people drive, a boat, a nice house with central air conditioning and nice patio furniture. Oh, and a patio!

And we're all too willing to work for it, to drive great distances daily to get to our chosen places of employment and to withstand most daily torments of American life to get this...stuff!

Now I don't care where you're from originally. If you grew up here, you'r ruined for any place else anyway. Once you are "Americanized" you're screwed. No, we should figure out what to do with the Dreamers because even though your name may be Hernandez and you're parents are from Mexico, you'd be fucking lost in Mexico. I have black friends that went to The Gambia for a visit. They're like, "Wholly shit, I couldn't live there!" Of course not, your a friggin' American. You haven't washed a dish by hand since childhood never mind having to live on rice and beans. They don't even have cable!

So anyway, no matter what your background, if you're working for a living, trying to play by the rules and putting up with hearing all this whacko bullshit on the television and radio, when you finally get to the voting booth this November are you really going to pull the lever for what these nutjobs are trying to sell you?

No, I don't think so.

Like me, you may not have the best setup but it's working. You can go out every so often, have dinner and drinks, maybe once a week, take in a show, go for a hike, hit the gym and have some semblance of a decent career and life. You're hanging in despite the effort. But you know as well as I do that if you let this group of Quarter-Stalins get a hold of the means to your paycheck and livelihood, it could all turn to shit in a hurry.

There'll be no place to go but down...

And everybody knows it.

Don't Bomb Iran!

At least not yet anyway.

It's pretty clear the Iranian totalitarian regime is looking to goad the U.S. into a first bloody strike.

Shooting down the drone was a brilliant move since there won't be any grieving families on the television. Nobody got hurt. Then, by muddying the waters over the location of the drone when it was shot down, there will be uncertainty over which party is telling the truth. Is this a case of the "Bully of the World", the United States, looking for an excuse to attack Iranian or is it a war-like Iran attempting to start an international military conflict by shooting down a U.S. drone in international airspace?

The world will ponder since both sides are keeping a straight face.

On the U.S. side, there are calls for reprisal but extreme caution should be observed if past experience will be given attention. If the U.S. should actually fire missiles into Iran or Iranian targets, you know the pictures coming back will be those of civilian casualties and the hurt looks of Iranian diplomats.

Even if we should hit nothing but sand.

It's a miracle of nature that the U.S. can't seem to hit anything but civilians in these Middle Eastern countries. We bomb a military installation and the pictures come back as women and children. In a past experience we bombed a toxic gas manufacturing facility in Iraq and, surprise, it was a children's formula processing plant! Amazing how, with the most advanced tracking systems in the world to date, we can barely hit a terrorist.

But subsequently, the pictures aren't going to look good if we don't wait for further escalation from the ancient brain-trust of the Mullahs.

And wait we should.

We could send them the bill for $ 130 million, the cost of the drone. Then we could threaten to seize Iranian assets if they don't remit the balance within 90 days. That would be the businessman's answer.

Besides, what's one lost drone to the Pentagon? It's a drop in the bucket in their massive secret budget which is most likely larger than 90% of the world's economies.

They'll just order another dozen.

War Mongers to the Front

I'm starting to see the roll a person like John Bolton plays in the Trump administration. With a guy like him always calling for the destruction of "Name-Your-Adversary", if I was sitting in Iran, I could never be sure if the President would be seriously listening to him or not. It would be hard to think he would but there he is chanting "kill, kill, kill" all the time. And President Trump is saying "I don't know how long I can hold this guy back." It makes one wonder if it's a tactic.

Would that it were but it's a deadly game both the U.S. and Iran are playing and it reminds me very much like what happened at Fort Sumter back in 1860 to bring the North and South to begin the American Civil War.

It was important to Abraham Lincoln for the South to fire the first shot in the war. You know, that's important in politics so he decides to just send an unarmed supply ship since North Carolina, having already seceded from the Union, had stopped suppling the fort which was on an island in the harbor. So the southern garrison on the shore, seeing the ship, launched an attack on Fort Sumter and the result was the "War of Southern Aggression" with just about every adult male alive at the time ending up dead.

Iran Becomes North Korea

We know the sanctions are killing the Iranian economy, for what it is, and if we want to pursue any kind of retaliation, the U.S. would do well to keep it economic. The Iran government is trying to find a way to break out of this blockade and save face while doing it. A tall task. So they are rattling away and causing, in reality, minor destruction.

Planting mines above the waterline of a ship tells me they didn't want to actually sink it. They wanted a good fire but again, nobody got killed. I don't think anybody even got hurt unless they fell off of a ladder or something. The ships are insured for this sort of thing. Even the Japanese are downplaying the whole affair since the ship was bound for Japan. So this sort of non-aggressive aggression is mostly designed to bring attention to Iran's 'plight". Not enough there to start a fight.

Plus, it was not an American ship so just leave it to the insurance company accountants.

What to Do

It's pretty obvious. With the pundits all describing Iran as playing a "Long Game", that should also be our strategy as well. The North Korean playbook as been to do just enough to make people nervous and Iran is making people nervous alright but that in itself does not constitute grounds for war. Also, just like North Korea, Iran has threatened destruction of the economic means of their neighbors should the United States intervene militarily. In the case of the Middle East, that's the oil fields.

So standing back and waiting to see just how far Iran is willing to go in this game of chicken will serve the United States interests. Meanwhile it's Iran's economic issues that will continue to work against them. They've squandered their meager GDP over the years on guns for the military and not butter for the people. And now it's come to bite them in the ass. Mullahs and Economics don't mix.

I don't see any other nations stepping up and offering any support for an armed solution to Iranian skullduggery so instead of putting on our "Defenders of the World" hats yet again, we should just wait until Iran does something to piss SOMEONE ELSE off.

Until a major country like France, Japan or Spain steps up and says "Something should be done" about Iran, we should just keep working on closing our southern boarder. It isn't like we've got nothing better to do.

So until Iran decides to definitively fire the first bloody shot at the United States, we should wait it out. But if they do decide to pull the trigger first...

That will spell the end for them.

A Most Unusual Tribute to President Trump

"There's no such thing as bad publicity" - Phineas  T. Barnum


Rather than finding the Trump Baby balloon offensive, I think it's great. What a tribute to President Trump!

These people are going well out of their way. That balloon took a lot of time and money to make. And imagine also the time and money it takes to store, transport and maintain this thing never mind buying the helium to blow it up. It has to be blown up, manned by a crew of "Baby Sitters" and there's probably a permit to be paid for involved. Then it has to be deflated, carefully inspected, folded and loaded into a van and taken to a storage area...every time.

What a homage that is. 

So let's think about this for a minute.

They didn't think to make a giant "President Hillary Clinton" balloon to badger Mr. Trump as a protest. They didn't think to make a big ol' "Bring Back Obama" balloon to badger him either. I would see both as antagonistic. Imagine looking out and seeing a big balloon of the person they think should have been president. But this didn't enter their heads apparently.

Nope! They instead make a Trump Baby? That's a protest? It's a bit too good natured to matter much as a protest. Sort of a tongue-in-cheek type of a protest. More of a begrudging show of respect which stands in stark contrast to the Left's harsh rhetoric.

Similarly, and quite telling in fact, there isn't a "Putin Baby" balloon and most certainly isn't a "Xi Jinping Baby" In fact, when the Communist leader visited England, there were no protests at all. And although he has a popular T-shirt, the long dead Cuban revolutionary Che Graviera never got a balloon.

But of course we know that neither Russia, China or Cuba has a right to free speech or a right to protest and none of these country's "Presidents" are known to possess a sense of humor about such things.

If you should decide to fly a similar balloon in, for example, China, it seems highly likely you will soon find yourself bound, gagged and having all your organs aggressively harvested while still conscious in one of Xi Jinping's not-so-well-hidden Re-education Camps.

That is the antithesis of freedom.

If anything, the Trump Baby balloon represents a symbol of reverence. It's a symbol of freedom to express one's point of view and it's been done very well. It looks just like him. It's a great, floating work of art and it's creation, love him or hate him, was spurred by a great force in humankind today.

And regardless of it's theme, the Trump Baby represents by it's mere existence the ideas held by a higher First World society based on rule of law and human rights. The rules are the rules and whether President Trump likes it or not, there it is. To his credit he hasn't said a thing about it yeah or nay. He probably likes it too.

After all, President Trump has a sense of humor.

Unlike London's lurking and spiteful Mayor Sadiq Khan, who's first instinct upon receiving bad press was to declare that there should be CURBS upon what can be said about him in the media.

There have been other polarizing leaders in America before and throughout world history but in this age of instant media and the current deep divides in our society, President Trump has become the biggest focus of just about everybody on the face of the earth with a radio or television. He's a man you may admire or he's the man you hate or rather, LOVE to HATE.

But you definitely have a strong opinion one way or another and regardless of which one motivates you, you are still motivated.

It's the push/pull of a living breathing process of a society's constant fight for freedom and progress that still stands as a beacon to be seen by the world.

It's a beautiful thing.

 

Facebook Owes You Nothing!

Why all the outrage?

You have no preponderance of privacy or right to free speech on Facebook.

Why?

Because you don't OWN it!

You are allowed onto Facebook at the behest and good graces of Facebook owner and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

And whether he invented it himself or, as some have accused, swindled some other egocentric grifters out of it, Mark Zuckerberg is the person who can say who is allowed on HIS social media giant and who is not. It's HIS site and his marketplace. He is the arbiter of who has access. He does not owe you or anyone else a forum for anything you have to say to the people who are logged into his social media world.

You don't like it?

Then by all means get your own website or better yet, start your own social media company.

Alex Jones has his own websites. He, at least, has spent some time and money developing his own outlets for his wacky bullshit. That is his right and he's taken advantage of it. Being taken off of Facebook is a hit to fan access but he's not shut off since he controls his own media sites. You want to listen to his claptrap, you know where to find him. You are free to do so at your leisure and there will be no one to stand in your way.

Never heard of Laura Loomer but she has a website too. I can't speak to whether she's whacky or not since I can't be bothered but at least you can go find out for yourself without the "help" of Facebook.

Milo Yiannopoulos and Luis Farrakhan, those cheapskates, don't have websites. They rely on free access to Facebook and that other Zuckerberg controlled social media entity, Twitter, for an audience for their frenetic rants and streams of unconsciousness.

As for the impact to the owner of Facebook, it's a given that all these self-promoting radical high-wire acts are starting to become a major liability and a world-class pain-in-the-ass. The leaders of all the major nations are on Zuckerg's case in a vociferous and litigious fashion about the media mogul's site content and he no longer seems inclined to want to put up with it.

I can't say I blame him.

If I owned Facebook, I wouldn't want to hear it either. I wouldn't have put up with that self-absorbed bluthering lunatic Jones on MY social media site either. I can think of no other person who personifies the reason we should bring back Mental Institutions in this country than Alex Jones.

The Right Wing media is using the action Facebook is taking to generate sponsor revenue and whip up angry phone callers about how anti-free speech it is in regards to banning certain people and groups from Social Media. It may certainly be but it's not unlawful. Facebook is not publicly funded and is not bound by rules of public access rights. The US taxpayer isn't paying the bills.

It may not be fair but it doesn't have to be fair either. It can, and is, totally arbitrary. The "reasons" are equally dubious. That other extremist group, Media Matters, which seems under the rules ok to stay on Facebook, is essentially accusing Jones and Yianopoulas of complicity in mass murder since this Left Wing group has taken to branding Conservative groups as White Supremacists.

I wouldn't have Media Matters on my site either. Get off you Left Wing agitators!

While I find all these people yappy and annoying, they are no more or less dangerous than those yoyos who try to get people to eat Tide Pods or do death defying daredevil stunts that have lead to their less talented imitators not managing to actually defy death at all.

But those are ok, right?

But in reality a good reason isn't needed. Facebook is only using "Hate Speech" as a show. They have to say something for public consumption and since it's the catchword of the decade, it's very convenient. We all know there is no such thing as hate speech.

But you don't have a right to free speech on Facebook and you never did. They tell you that when you sigh up but nobody ever reads the agreement. Whether you read it or not, you're still bound by it. and with mounting pressure on the boy genius, it's going to be enforced more and more and the people and groups that they pick aren't going to like it. But they didn't build Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg did.

And what he says,goes.

Never Forget

They were so colossal that they didn't even seem real. When seen from New Jersey, they were striking for their shear size and how they stood alone above everything else in a city of tall buildings. They were just big and square blocks but they were beautiful.

Just like all the souls that perished when they were destroyed.

When I see those images today, I feel exactly the same today as the day it happened.

I want to kill them all.

And we did that first time in Afghanistan. We killed plenty in a wide variety of ways. Then more came and we killed them too. And then they made more and we've been killing them ever since. The targets become more elusive and we become more adept at finding them. It's an ongoing battle that has changed the United States from a freewheeling democracy interested in personal freedom and how far an individual can go in life, into an armed camp brimming with costly defenses and increasing the misery index of every American. Such is our modern world of constant surveillance, wide-spread tracking and endless regulations. We used to lament that there were cameras everywhere and now we look for them everywhere to give us a sense of safety. Good luck with that.

The Twin Towers were attacked because they were the symbol of American commerce, American achievement and the freedom or our marketplace. That they were in New York City was fitting because NYC represents everything the country has to offer. And for the most part you can walk to it.

So after the Towers were destroyed by Muslim Terrorists, what does that self-absorbed lame-brain New York Mayor Micheal Bloomberg do? He turns their replacement into a stupid design contest. And the building that went up, The "Freedom Tower" looks absurd at best. It's shit.

And it only took 11 years to put it up! That's a year longer than it took to complete both of the Twin Towers.

They should have gone to city hall, gotten the old plans out of the basement and put the towers back the way they were in the same amount of time to put up.

THAT would have shown the people around the world who hate the United States for being the United States exactly how futile their efforts to destroy us was. But it didn't happen.

They did destroy us.

Now we have representatives in the United States Congress like Ilhan Omar, the US House of Representative's Jew-hating official from Minnesota who, for the life of them, will not mention what happened on 9/11 and by whom it came about. They will not acknowledge that so many people died who had nothing to do with their killer's zealous self-righteousness Islamic judgment.

And when they exhibit their callousness and disgust with the country they represent what happens? Why they are surprised by the fact that few Americans agree with them! Then they openly lament that it is THEY who are the victim of a terrible religious hatred. The majority of the people who agree with Representative Omar are the racist bastards who live in the 5th district in Minnesota and who voted her into office.

And the rest of them live in Washington DC.

We shall never accept such judgment or cynicism from anybody. Not from the former crazed mayor of New York City Micheal Bloomberg, not from the racist and America hating Rep. Omar and not from the Political Left in this country who would rather see our cities and towns over-run with the world's great unwashed than to see our own hard working, tax paying people who are not THEM succeed.

For all it's faults, the United States is still the most giving and benevolent society on the face of the Earth.

But you won't hear that from Representative Ilhan Omar or her ilk.

When an Apology isn't an Apology

llhan Omar, the Anti-Jew Representative from the state of Minnesota has issued an “apology” for yet another of her hateful anti-Semitic rants.

We don’t need a full description, we’ve heard them all. Ms. Omar just can’t help herself. She’s a Muslim with Tourette’s syndrome but instead of swearing, she spouts hateful shit about Jews and the Jewish state.

But that can’t be helped because she’s from a part of Minnesota that hates Jews, her parents hate Jews, her church hates Jews and most of the people she grew up with hate Jews.

I mean, she had to learn this somewhere.

And that somewhere was right in her own back yard, home and church. Given this kind of upbringing, is it any surprise that llhan Omar hates Jews too? Of course not, she's descended from a long line of Jew haters!

And now she has a seat in the U.S. Congress. That means plenty of Jew-hating folks in the state of Minnesota must have voted for her to be there. She represents them now in American Government.

Her Jew-hating community must be so proud.

Now she can trumpet her hatred of the Jews and the Jewish State to the four corners of the country and urge other’s to join her in a coalition of hating the Jews.

A Weak Non-Apology

Her apology for her most recent Jew-hating remarks, if one would call it an apology, was just so very weak and without substance. If you really want to apologize, you don’t actually use the term “I apologize” since it has a hollow ring to it. That's the over-the-phone customer service apology you get when you discover that your phone company has been over-charging you for the last 6 years. They don't care that they over charged you one bit, but since you figured it out they'll say "We apologize for that error." and then they'll blame the computer. 

And so just like Representative Omar's apology for once again being caught openly hating the Jews, it's Bullshit. 

But if a person really means it, what a real person who cares would say in apology is: “I’m Sorry”.

Like “I’m sorry for the awful words I said and the inaccurate and hurtful allegations I made.”

But that’s only if you mean it and, of course, Ms. Omar certainly does not. So subsequently she didn't come close to saying anything like that. But that's just because she's a dyed-in-the-wool Jew hater and always will be. Just because some old chic who runs the House of Representatives tells her to make an apology, that doesn’t mean it’s right. Right?

And she obviously doesn’t think it’s right because instead of taking responsibility for what she said, she boarded a new train to ride on in an attempt to carry her past the revelations of her own evil words. Now the boogie-man is “Lobbying”, an indirect and less acerbic reference to AIPAC, the lobbying group associated with Israel here in the U.S.

Lobbying, Really?

As far as stopping lobbying, good luck there Ms. Omar since the history of lobbying is just as long as the history of government. It’s not just a part of government, Lobbying IS government. There are ongoing efforts to curtail it but it’s never going away.

But to be clear, the most recent statements of Representative Omar has nothing to do with Lobbying groups in American government. It’s about Jewish Lobbying groups in American government. That’s because the bottom line for Representative Omar and the people who back her in Minnesota and Washington DC is the hatred they have for the Jewish people.   

Representative Omar is in Congress to do a job. And that job is to work on legislation for the benefit of the state and cities of the people who sent her there. Knowing how the U.S. Government works and how to get legislation passed should be at the top of her list.

 But it seems that hating the Jews is really her top priority.

Democrats Rush to Economic Apocalypse

As far as campaign promises go, giving away free stuff is always a big seller. But when you promise too much and give to little just to gain power, that power is fleeting. Unless your plan is to totally destabilize the country to hold onto this power.

Medicaid for All

Why have Medicaid for All? Isn't the Affordable Care Act givng away enough already? The ACA is a shining example of costing too much and delivering to little, of people who pay too much and people who pay not at all. The cost averaging that the insurance companies has resorted to in order to make the cost annual jumps in premiums palatable has lead to massive age discrimination since the people with the potential to drive up the what the average worker in the organization has to pay are the oldest. This cost must be eliminated. And then try to find another job bucko!

There isn't enough money in the world to make Socialized Medicine work. We've already seen shortages of vaccines and cancer drugs, drug company profiteering and poor substitutes for the real thing. Remember when regular people went to the emergency room? Now it's avoided at all costs.

Think about that one.

A Wall IS Border Security

How can an inanimate object be immoral? When you're a Leftist Democrat Anarchist who doesn't care if the country is over run by illiterate Visigoths just because a Republican is president.

But won't that effect everybody? They don't care.

Walls work. Hadrian's Wall in Roman Britain did a good job until the lack of a wall along the Rhine River in 407 CE caused Rome to fall. Stop me if you've heard this before. Thousands of uneducated non-Romans poured over the boarder over time until they outnumbered the Roman army, overwhelmed their resources and set up independent domains in Roman territory until, realizing they had greater numbers, they decided to just sack the place. The once mighty Roman legions were so depleted at this point that many in the army were either barbarians themselves or slaves, both holding on allegiance to the cause. The confidence in the government institutions declined and then it was every man for himself and then blamo, the Feudal System.

The Democrats don't want a wall.

Infanticide for All

But they do want third trimester abortions and are willing to pay for you to have them. Now if they can just come up with a way to make abortion retroactive. Perhaps the government run healthcare system will come up with a way to deal with people who take too much from the system. Once the healthcare money becomes "the public trust" anyone who may use too much of the "people's resources" for health care will most likely be scrutinized. It will become the government's right to do so since they are the keepers of the "people's trust".

Now it depends how many of the people trust them.

Tax the Rich!

The problem that will arise the longer this goes on is "who is rich?". You may be surprised to find that more and more people who never thought themselves rich will fall into that category.

However, initially, we can be assured that the category of Rich will be the people who make slightly more than Massachusetts State Senator Elizabeth Warren. So if she and her co-conspirators are worth $15 million, then the Rich people will be the one's making $18 million.

Of course many rich people don't have an income per se. Many, like Nevada State Senator Mitt Romney, take income from their stock dividend accounts which are taxed at a lower rate so they won't be effected by a higher income bracket. Either that or they'll just move.

But you, you working stiff son-of-a-bitch, will see a tax increase to make up for the shortfall!

This was another issue with the fall of the Roman Empire. Since the political hierarchy and landed gentry were exempt from taxation, Caesar taxed the Roman middle class out of existence so there were either the very rich or the very poor and the people either fled or were turned out of their property and the tax revenue dwindled further. The great estates then abandoned Rome altogether to become authorities unto themselves since Caesar had no resources to march against them either.

This is where Alaric, king of the Visigoths, shows up on the outskirts of Rome in 410 CE and gives them the old "Your money or your life" routine.

And that, boys and girls, was the end of the Classical Age. There was a lot of chaos loss of life involved with all of this of course.

But the Left wants the chaos. It's the only strategy they have. 

American Indian Attacks Catholic Teens in DC

Nathan Phillips is the American Indian face of Hate. He hates you because you represent people he was brought up to hate; White Americans of European decent. So what if your family came to the United States in 1968. YOU represent the European Imperialists from 300 years ago. And you must be made to feel the guilt and to PAY for what they did. It’s YOUR FAULT.

Nathan Phillips, an unapologetic racist, who does not hesitate to use his past Vietnam service as a shield and as an excuse for his taunting and aggressive behavior against...children.

What a chicken-shit!

It was he who approached the teens. It was he who got in the face of a 16 year old boy from Covington Catholic High School to purposely provoke him and in an attempt to goad the youngster into a recordable reaction but the teen did not take the bait.

This “Adult” who should be ashamed of himself for his antagonistic and yes, Racist behavior instead claims that it was HE who was in fear of the teens, that it was HE who was the victim although the teens made no move toward him and said nothing while he got into Nick Sandman’s personal space and literally taunts him, hoping the boy will do something that will promote his cause of hate. He purposely and with malice aforethought singled out the boy for a possible confrontation because, more than likely, he was wearing a MAGA hat. 

The Omaha Indian tribe, to whom Nathan Phillips belongs, is obviously a racist group of "professional victims" that has no qualms about using Nazi propaganda tactics against WHITE KIDS. The Omaha tribe is nothing different from any HATE GROUP. They came to DC to cause trouble and make something happen.

Well, they did make something happen. They managed to expose to the nation, yet again, how phony their Leftist causes are and how phony the U.S. Media is. They're just Anarchists. Hating and tearing down what you do without answers or a plan of their own. 

Lies, Lies, Lies

Reports were that the teens taunted peaceful black preachers yet revealed video showed these radical black "Israelites" who were calling the teens anti-catholic, homophobic and anti-white slurs.

It was also reported that the teens were chanting “Build the Wall” but nothing has surfaced in this ‘everybody has a video device” world to corroborate such a thing although there have been plenty of people coming forward that said this was never the case.

MAGA Madness

What is it about the MAGA hat that causes the Left to feel their pulse pounding in their temples to the point where they commit acts of out-of-control violence and exhibit behavior that a reasonable person could only refer to as “Unhinged”.

Perhaps it’s what the letters stand for: “Make America Great Again”.

Is it this what they’re against?

All Catholics are on Notice

You’re now in the wrong religion. You are persona non grata and if you’re white, make that double. You are on the hit list. Nobody on the political Left wants you to succeed. You must fail. Go back to your own country.

This is now Us against Them and if you can’t figure out who’s side you’re on yet, you better get yourself plugged in. The American Indian’s hate you, the Black Lives Matter people hate you and the Media Hates You.

Another Black Eye for the National Media

It is so tiresome. When someone tries to tell me something in the usual gang of idiots media groups all I ever have to say now is: ‘That’s not true.”

Because - fill-in-the-blank - isn't true. Nothing is true anymore. What can they possibly tell me that I’ll ever believe? This includes the Weather. The American Media has a TRUITH problem.

They have a mighty hard time telling it.

It is all so dishonest. All so hate-filled and agenda driven. No news involved actually. It's just THEM telling YOU what you should believe. You either believe what they believe or your are WRONG. 

This is what you went to Journalism School for, to become a propagandist for some Left Wing anarchist media organization? Your parents must be so proud of you!

“Dad, did you see my hit piece on this group of Catholic School teenagers I wrote yesterday?”

“Why yes I did son, and a fine piece of fiction it was too!”

And we used to joke about the phony news from Russia! Russia’s got nothing on the U.S. Media. The National Media has become the world’s biggest liars.

China and Russia can only watch and learn.

Trump Ending Frivolous Wars

Can this even be happening?

Not since Richard Nixon has an American President actually managed to end an armed conflict that wasn't just won outright. Let's face it, this country no longer fights wars with winning them in mind. Not at all, we fight them to keep the military arms industry afloat.

The United States is the top seller of military arms in the world. We sell twice as much weaponry around the world as #2 Russia. For our weapons industry, PEACE is the enemy. Having peace break out anywhere in the world is bad for business. And because of the diligent efforts of past Presidents and war industry Senators in the U.S. Congress, business has been very, very good.

Since the end of WWII, the war strategy of the U.S. has changed from winning to a constant rotating presence that hasn't proved a bit effectual in winning, stopping or preventing further pain and misery to the countries we occupy. It's really about not killing the job. And if some people get killed along the way, well, that's just business.

Finally out of Syria

We had no business being there in the first place. It was not our conflict since Syria is and remains a sovereign nation. That's supposed to mean something. If it wasn't for the Obama financed "Arab Spring" and his blatant arming of ISIS in the region, the Syrian civil war would have been over years ago and much less blood would have been shed. This intervention only prolonged the war and the pain war inflicts. Russia has every right to defend it's interests in the country since it has had a strong and legally binding relationship with Syria and Assad since at least WWII. That's supposed to mean something too.

Colonial interests drive Europe to press for Syrian intervention. The French in particular remain keenly interested in getting their hooks back into the region and have been behind much of the information surrounding the phony "gas attacks" that seem to serve as an excuse to deplete Syria's dictator Bashir Assad's ability to defend his government from the outsider-backed insurgency.

We were only in Syria so that Bashir Assad and Russia would not win. But legally and in the eyes of the world, there was only so much we could do. Our government and that of France kept trying to manufacture a reason to commit more resources to ultimately overthrow Assad to plunge the country into Libyan style chaos in the hopes that Russia would find their base on the Mediterranean no longer tenable but U.S. public opinion and independent voices in our government would not support such subterfuge.

Now it's time to end the charade.

The United States efforts to overthrow world powers "we don't like" has no basis or support in our laws. It has no reasoning beyond those of a tyrant and have brought us no satisfaction or good results for all the money and time we've spent.

But the U.S. military machine has plenty of time and plenty of money, doesn't it?

Enter the War Hawks.

Representatives of the Military Industrial Machine have come out against President Trump's move to end a military conflict. Florida Senator Marco Rubio has been a big supporter of armed conflict in the Middle East in his 8 years in office. It didn't take too much checking to find out why.

Florida has the largest war industry machine in the nation with 20 major military installations and nearly all of the nation's leading defense contractors. Florida also boasts $13.6 Billion in Department of Defense contracts. In fact, the scope of the state of Florida's involvement in the American "War Effort" is outright staggering.

Now what are they going to do if we stop fighting in the Middle East? Doesn't America know that all those bombs feed people?

At least now I know how Senator Rubio got elected. He's made a deal with the Devil.

A quick search on North Carolina, home to Senator Lindsay Graham, another sudden war hawk, brags on it's "Invest in North Carolina" brochure that they have the Third Largest active duty and reservist population in the United States and yields a skilled workforce pipeline for the defense industry. It has 5 major military bases and is #4 in military economic output with $11 Billion in Department of Defense contracts.

This is why Senator Lindsay Graham supports continued fighting in the Middle East. After all, it's only uneducated non-American poor people we're killing.

The Longer We Stay, the More We Fight

I originally hadn't bought into the "We're making more Radicals" argument when it was originally posed, incidentally, by the Democrats who now suddenly want us to keep our military presence in the Middle East, but over time I find that the region just never seems to run out of people wanting to throw themselves at a tank with a bomb strapped to their body. It reminds me of Major Colonel Bill Kilgore's line in the Vietnam movie "Apocalypse Now" when he asks rhetorically, "Don't these people ever give up?"

It's easy to convince people that the United States is coming for them when they are in your country shooting the place up.

Getting out of Afghanistan

After 17 long, long, long, long years in this country, are they any better off? Are WE? I mean all the "good will" we have sewn over there will come back in Spades, right? They still hate us. They hate us when we are there and they say we've abandoned them when we leave. All they want is our money and they'll never become an independent nation if they take it. It's a circular paradox that is no longer our problem.

We defeated the Talaban when they blew up the Twin Towers in New York way back when and now they've undergone a number of reformations and they either are still a force to be reckoned with or they aren't but frankly they aren't. They are a bunch of armed radicals that will exist whether the U.S. is there or isn't there but without us being there, they will have less guns and weapons to be anything but a group of Muslim killing Muslims since there will be no more Americans to shoot at.

We can't stay there forever and at some point either they will have to take care of themselves or they won't. It's been 17 years. GW Bush spent 7 years trying to get the Afghans ready to fight for themselves. Obama spent 8 years trying to get them ready and they've had 2 years under President Trump. How much more time will they need if they still aren't ready after all this time?

Anyone saying we are "abandoning" Afghanistan now after spending more time there than anywhere in the United State's history of warfare, is just trying to stay on the War Gravey Train that being on the side of Rome often provides. It's a spurious argument.

The Kurds

There is no easy, cheap or quick solution to the Independent Kurdish State issue. The Kurds have always helped out the U.S. in the region. They've fought under both GW Bush and Obama and they're helping now but the glaring fact remains that the United States has neither the authority to establish a Kurdish State or the resources to defend one should they try.

Turkey will not allow an independent Kurdish state under any circumstances and will bring their considerable might against one if established. We weren't in Syria to help the Kurds establish an independent state. They know this. They will have to keep fighting for their independence.

We Have our Own Problems

And a major problem right now is Security at the U.S. Boarder. There is no logic in fighting foreign wars for foreign interests when are going to end up losing the nation here at home.

The American Taxpayer shells out more money than most people in the world produce in a year on defense and welfare spending and both are out of control. The working U.S. citizen scrimps and saves for their retirement and most workers try to sock away dough for their later years. This becomes increasingly hard to do when so much is taken out of your paycheck before it even gets to you.

War is frivolous when it accomplishes nothing. As an industry, it is immoral at best. At worst, it's industrialized murder and whether it is waged in a "humane" fashion or not makes no difference if we are just going about it by rote.

Time to think of the people who fight our wars. We owe it to them and the military families that when we fight, we will fight with purpose and to ultimately win and not so that a military corporation can keep it's stock numbers up. We don't need to have a war for every generation to keep military traditions alive. We should try to interrupt this pattern one time just to see what happens.

Peace could become a habit. 

Oil: The Ball Bearing of Industry

Nothing moves without it and without it nothing will move. 

All the solar and wind power in the world isn't going heat your house or keep your air conditioner going all day, all week, all month or all year.  Oil is still the biggest bang for the buck and the world is awash in oil. It's cleaner to store, is transportable and if we need more, it's just right under foot.

Petroleum products are in everything. They grease the gears in wind turbines, they are what electric cars ride on in the form of roads and rubber tires, coat the wires that carry the current, insulate the power supplies and make up the hoses that the coolant passes through from the engine to the radiator. Oil is what makes everything go and to deny this fact is to merely delude yourself. While it's good to save money and to become more efficient, to waste resources on less efficient means of energy production and passing the higher costs onto the consumer weakens the nation and hurts those less able to afford to pay.

This is why rather than sink all this government money into subsidizing alternate forms of energy, taxpayer money I might add, the nation could just as well have put that money into making engines that run on gasoline and diesel more efficient. Since what was the point of alternative energy? It was supposed to help us burn less oil and have less emissions. So if there was an engine, say, that could run 100 miles on a gallon of gasoline instead of it's current 34 miles per gallon, would that not do the same thing? By making oil more efficient would we not require less of it? 

But that doesn't fit into the current blind hate narrative. We HATE oil even though it's in everything and along with it's immature cousin, Coal, is actually what makes the world go around. We would rather have more costly and less reliable wind and solar power and store that power in expensive and massive acid-based batteries for when the wind either doesn't blow or blows too much or when the sun doesn't come out for days. We just want to get rid of fossil fuels!

But it's not going to happen no matter how good this pipe dream makes you feel. It's not making the world any cleaner, safer or more secure. 

Feel good about your electric car? Where does that electricity come from? Hint: Not from a wind turbine! With the more electricity an electric car needs, some guy in a power plant up the road is only going to throw another shovel full of coal into the furnace that runs the turbines. What did you think, that electricity came from an electric-powered power plant?

We've wasted a great opportunity to put the resources into oil efficiency. With all the dough we've already wasted with so little to show for it, we could have funded an oil based Manhattan Project. Who knows what that could have achieved?  But because of politics, this did not/will not happen. Making oil more efficient doesn't even come up in environmental conversation. 

But Oil isn't really the target in all of this nonsense now is it? 

It is industry and the Capitalist mentality that drives industry that is the real target. The environmental movement, Socialist in nature, hopes to control the means of production by regulating what type of power that drives it. The political wing of environmentalism wishes to tell you what power to use, what kind of car you can drive and what kind of power you'll use to drive your business. 

If a manufacturer came out tomorrow and said they could make a production gasoline engine that could get 200 miles per gallon of gasoline, how would you think the environmental movement would react? or perhaps a generator that could power your house all day on just a gallon of diesel? 

Would the environmentalists embrace such dramatic monumental discoveries? 

I'll put my money on an emphatic "no" since it would set back the environmental "movement" if you want to call it that, back a half century.  I think they would attempt to suppress it and claim that it was a concerted effort by Capitalists to discredit their work to "Save the Planet" and that they should still be allowed to continue to explore alternate energies and keep their government funding. Oil and gasoline will still continue to be evil. 

We have yet to wring nearly as much energy out of an oil molecule as lies within it. It would be money better spent to get more out of the most reliable source of energy that we have. 

But that would make sense.  

The Democratic Platform for 2018

"We can and must write in a language that sews among the masses hate, revulsion and scorn toward those who disagree with us." - Vladimir Lenin

In light of what has transpired since Donald J. Trump took the Presidency of these United States, I have pieced together, from observation and experience, the principles and desires for the nation that the Democratic Party has chosen to champion for the upcoming 2018 election cycle.

The Democratic Party has freaked out about everything President Trump has tried to achieve. They have opposed doing away with the costly and oppressive Affordable Care Act, opposed tax cuts and have advocated for more government and taxes.

They have gone crazy at everything Mr. Trump has to say and appear to have reached Escape Velocity and have gone into Earth's Orbit when it came to confirming Judge Brett Kavanagh to the U.S. Supreme Court. 

So from what I can tell by looking, the following are the key election goals the Democratic Party will be fighting for this coming election season:

Unlimited immigration from every downtrodden country around the world: “Come to America” they have called, “We will bring you in; give you a housing subsidy, put you into our public school systems and give you a stipend to live on while you learn to love our country!”

The message lately is clear: Unfettered access to the United States by anyone "fleeing" their country for what ever reason you can think of. Every woman is fleeing an oppressive husband, every man is fleeing a drug gang. Nobody cares about the people who emigrated legally and did the work to become a citizen. The Democratic party does not care about you! Everybody else, well, come on in.

No shots, not medical exam, no job or sponsor, just come on in. 

Disbanding ICE: Because ICE is actually allowed to do it's job now, the Democrats would like to replace the Immigrations Customs Enforcement bureau with something more immigrant friendly, like perhaps the ACLU. If they won't do it then the Dems would prefer a group that would just let illegal immigrants go and roam around the country. What harm could that do?

No to tax cuts for the American worker:  No money for you! Yes, you earned it but it’s not yours to keep. It has to go to support those less fortunate than you. We must put the poor people’s children through college, support the in-coming immigrants who will take our low-wage jobs and to house those who can’t afford housing because their jobs don’t pay very well. We must put them first. Your kid can just take out a loan for college, after all, you're privileged.

Now shut up and sit down!

Now the Left has floated the idea of doing away with the Trump tax cuts in order to give a direct $500.00 payment to the "poor". The Democrats will choose who these "poor" will be since there apparently is a group of people currently not benefiting from the tax cut since THEY DON'T WORK.

Let's face it, America just isn't all that great. This is the Democratic Party's mantra. "The U.S. is a Eurocentric, racist nation lead by an oppressive white majority that foments income-inequality, gender-inequality and oppresses people from all over the world."

You are all bad, bad people. The best way to make up for centuries of such oppression is to give all your money to the Democratic Party. Then we'll forgive you.

We can't win!: The political Left has made a big deal of our impending "trade war" with China. "China is hitting back", they say, "China will cause a lot of hurt with their sanctions!" they cry. All forgetting our biggest asset in this whole affair: The United States is the largest economy in the world. And not by a little. We are not going to lose a protracted trade war. The longer it goes on the worse it will get for everybody else. We may end up paying more here but we won't be going without.

Imagine this sort of defeatist attitude going on during World War II?

Calling Socialist Countries "Allies". Since President Trump has floated trade tariffs in an attempt to get the other countries we do a lot of business with back to the bargaining table, The Democratic National Committee has started to call countries like Mexico, China and Turkey our "Allies". They lament "How can we be doing this to our Allies?" on the Leftist media outlets. Especially since these countries are not only hostile to the United States and are, in fact, sources of a large quantity of our major financial and social issues like illegal immigration, copyright infringement and failure to guard their borders and the intellectual property of our businesses, I find it very hard to refer to these "governments", two of which are totalitarian regimes and the other just plain law-less, as Allies.

Canada, France and the UK aren't much better in regard to how they centrally manage their economies and keep their people dependent on the government nipple. It's no surprise that these nations don't want to renegotiate. Allies indeed. 

You can’t say that! You can’t say a word like “Gypsy” because it is racist! The KKK is everywhere lurking in a white man's heart! White European men are the real problems plaguing modern diverse society. They have no right to say anything anymore. 

You can’t call Haiti a “Shit-hole” because you may offend the shit-hole’s inhabitants. Perhaps they don’t realize they’re living in a shit-hole! How will they feel when they hear that and look around and realize it's TRUE?

The people of Mexico, Sudan, Myanmar, Venezuela and Yemen don't want to be reminded of how corrupt and oppressive their governments are and how much a shit-hole it is where they live. It's easier to come to the U.S. and live as a subsidized puppet. 

You can’t say certain words any longer. They’re offensive triggers to…well, somebody! Which words are offensive? Don't worry, we'll just tell you what they are when you say them. 

No free markets:  You can’t graze your cattle on this land anymore because we have now made it a National Monument. You can't drill for oil on this land because we have designated it a Caribu Sanctuary. You have to take the health coverage we give you  because we have outlawed a competitive marketplace for healthcare services. Oh, you can grow your business BUT only after you comply with our ever increasing regulations and taxes.

Infanticide for All! Third trimester abortions are back and they're FREE! Regardless of whether a child can live outside the womb, that child has got to go and we're not only going to allow this, we're going to continue to allow the government to sponsor it so expanding tax-payer funded abortion is the linchpin of party politics. Especially when Single-Payer Government Healthcare is implemented. That way, state-sponsored euthanasia will be the norm by the time we deny your father or grandfather health services because "they are no longer viable".

 

Guns are bad: You can’t own a firearm and you don’t have the right to protect yourself from all the radical immigrants that are coming in and shooting up the place. If you should happen to catch a bullet from one of these people, it's just your own bad luck. 

All the Pot you can Smoke: Instead of all the other stuff you don’t get to do, we want to legalize Marijuana. Not because Prohibition is wrong but because this way, you won’t know what you’re missing. Puff away people, things will seem a whole lot better. 

The Conclusion

This election cycle's Democratic platform appears to be: More government, more uneducated immigrates, more subsidies, more abortions, less free speech and less money for you! We want what you have so we can give it to somebody else who we feel needs it more than you, you racist sonofabitch!

Will this platform be a winner in 2018?
