Nicolas Maduro Must Die!

For crimes against the Venezuelan people.

For his hit squads that have fanned out into the countryside to kill his enemies.

But he can't kill them all. He has made too many for that to work any longer.

Nicolas Maduro's time has come to pass into history the way all fanatical homicidal dictators pass. He will not be lucky enough to have a stroke like Stalin. He will be murdered. He's too much of a coward to kill himself.

The best way would be the people tearing hime apart with their bare hands. The families of his victims should have at him first.

But anyway is ok as long as he's DEAD. As dead has his predecessor Hugo Chavez who died like a dog, begging his inept Cuban physicians for his foul life. Maduro should join his murderous idol also begging for his foul life.

He should not be spared. It's too late. He's done too much and he's taken all he can and now it's time to go.

Russia Should Stay Out of it

Russia has no business in Venezuela, their impotent warnings should be ignored. Let them start something and see where it takes them. If you think the sanctions hurt now, just wait until the U.S. finds Russian actors in Venezuela. Then you'll think you all had it pretty good before.

Where's Columbia?

Columbian troops should be massed against the border and ready to go it. The Columbian government had an excuse to go in over a year ago when the refugees were streaming across the boarder but they didn't. Why? I don't know since Maduro's army would have melted like snow in the face of a military force. But it never happened.

This has all taken way too long. Nobody came to save the Venezuelans because they were all united in Socialism. Only when things really turned to shit did they want help out of the mess they made for themselves. They are all still Socialists I'll bet and just want better Socialism. But the reality is; there is no such thing as better Socialism. It's always a downward spiral into chaos. They wanted to stick it to the "Rich" but in the end, as always, they are the one's who got the short end of the stick. You can't build up a people by pulling others down.

And here we are, finally, at the bottom.

Nothing but the noose left for Nicolas.

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.

Elizabeth Warren is Out

It was over before it began. Whether someone dropped a dime on her and paid for Ms. Warren's Texas Bar application to be made public or not, the appalling part is that she never admitted all the rumors were true until they were.

Warren, the Senator from my state of Massachusetts knows how many times she had claimed to be of American Indian heritage on her college professorship applications and yet denied EVER doing so every time she was asked and is only now apologizing because she was finally outed and ONLY because she was outed.

Otherwise she would have never taken a step backwards from her false claims, now proven so, that she had indeed claimed "Other Than White" privilege while applying for work. She had been lying about this all along.

Lance Armstrong could take a few lessons from Elizabeth Warren. Lance came clean about his sports doping with less evidence.

And if White Privilege is such an important factor in getting a job, why on God's Green Earth would Senator Warren feel the need to lie about not being white? Are there privileges to not being White?

Don't be absurd. We don't do such things in American Academia, favoring one race over another...do we?

Warren's Presidential Bid...Toast!

But at any rate, Senator Warren might as well forget about launching her bid for the U.S. Presidency. She hasn't a snowball's chance in Hell of making it to Super Tuesday. She won't have any money. Whatever campaign war-chest she has now is all she's every going to get. Who will back her financially when another half-dozen of these documents can show up at any time?

The big one of course is her application to teach at Harvard. The college administration at Harvard has refused to release it and it's probably locked in a desk somewhere where only the Head Chancellor knows. But it exists.

And should that document somehow emerge at a strategic period of the race? Ka-plow!

How could she survive?

She obviously is facing a long road where every question will be along the lines of "How do you think admitting you lied on your job application qualifies you to be president?"

Can you imagine?

Warren's Anti-Wall Street message, for what it is, will be lost in the wind. Nobody will want to hear it and eventually nobody will come.

Still a Senator

No, it's best to just say now is not a good time, bank all that cash, since she really is a greedy person to begin with, and keep it for the next run for Senator since being an outright straight-faced lier does not disqualify someone from the U.S. Senate. Especially if your from Massachusetts.

If Senator Warren doesn't resign her position in the Senate, and some have resigned for less, she will still have an iron grip on the job due to her fervent politically-left following in the City of Boston and her vast local resources. Her recent re-election versus the energetic Republican candidate Jeff Diehl was called in her favor just 5 MINUTES after the polls closed on election night. If this proof of her claim on Indian Heritage was out before the election perhaps it would have been 6 minutes.

After all she didn't kill anybody like Ted Kennedy did and he kept getting re-elected.

It reflects more on those who vote for such people rather than the people themselves.

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. 

Venezuela Over and Over

It's a lesson the world never seems to learn. Collectivism spells certain doom. The slogan: "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need" has proven to be a death sentence for the populace at large.

It's all there for the clear minded to see.

But we're not talking about clear minds are we? We are talking about Class Envy, Want and Revenge.

You can explain the economics of it and they don't care. You can show them the pictures of the people in Zimbabwe drinking out of mud puddles, the Venezuelans standing in hours long lines in the hopeful anticipation that there will be something on the shelves to buy when they get into the store. It makes no difference.

No, no, it's all about seizing power. The chance to tell those rich bastards what to do and to make them pay for the gall they had to take a risk and give people jobs. It's about taking that which they've built, not because they don't deserve it but because we now have the power to take it away from them.

And don't think for a moment that the "Poor" are going to see a farthing of these confiscated resources. No, they are spoils that only go to the victor.

Was Stalin concerned that people were starving? Was Mao? Pol Pot? Chavez? Castro didn't care one whit that his country was stuck in 1956 just as long as HE was the boss of it. Castro was king of a backwards impoverished land. He must have been so proud.

And what about now with Nicolas Maduro, is he even remotely sympathetic?

Hell no. Just as long as he's in charge. That's what its all about.

And once Maduro is dead, and he most certainly should be executed for his crimes, there will be another who will rise to prominence on the slogan power of their promises of Equality for All, for the Rich Paying Their Fare Share, and of Justice for the Workers!

And so the cycle begins again. The producers walk, the people want and the bloodshed escalates as the resources dwindle.

Nope, nope, nope, no use talking about it when you deal with such ignorance. The new young crop of Leftists in the U.S. Congress have already shown how little they know about history. But they do know Class Envy, they do know that their constituents are dumber than they are and are easily swayed by promises of fixing their problems by first creating class demons and they promising they'll be punished. No need for personal responsibility. YOU have been wronged by the Society Haves and you will be Compensated by them. How dare they sign your pay checks!

It's a mindset.

If Hugo Chavez came back to life and drove into Venezuela and said he was going to make everything right again if the people just vote him back into office, they would vote him back into office again in a heartbeat. Most of the people never blamed him for the slow circling of the drain that began in 1999 when he was first elected. They loved Chavez. They blamed everything else but him.

And here we are.

Although the nation has become increasingly Socialist since the 1950s, this latest surge of "Progressives" rivals U.S. Socialism's heyday of the 1900s. Popularity of the party dropped dramatically once the Bolshevik revolt was underway and their intentions of spreading the "Revolution" around the world became evident and was known as the "Red Scare".

You see, once people see what happens when the Collectivists take over, almost always by force, they want no part of it. The tough part about that is that once they are in power, it's tough to put that Genie back in the bottle. The whole country turns upside down and right is wrong and wrong is wrong and there's a whole lot of nothing to give out. And then things get out of hand.

So follow your peer groups latest charismatic leader. Believe them when they tell you that "this time will be different". I promise you will be disillusioned. I promise you will regret it. I promise that you will pay dearly along with most of your group as well as your family and the nation.

We've seen this all before, hindsight is 20/20.

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. 

EU, NATO, Let Ukraine Down

I'll bet Petro Poroshenko, the Ukrainian President misses all those nuclear weapons his nation gave up at the insistence of his European Union "brothers". Oh, they used to be a nuclear power but since they were going to be part of the EU, they were talked out of having them because the EU said, "We'll help you deal with Russia, don't you worry at all!".

The EU, invincible in peace time, invisible in war time.

Now that the shit is hitting the fan between Russia and their former national bread basket, the European Union and NATO want no part of that altercation. "We've got your back." they have said yet when the bully comes onto the playground, Ukraine turns around and finds they are on their own...again.

Such is what life must be like for the Ukrainian people. Wanting out, wanting in, wanting to be something more than a backwards farm culture and yet always being dragged back into the darkness because they don't have the resources and nobody wants the Russian army, notorious for their ability to kill people indiscriminately and break things knocking on THEIR door.

Also, they buy a lot of booze and stuff.

So Ukraine dangles. It implores, it tries it's best to hold itself together as their European "friends" look on. Will NATO send troops to be a buffer between Russia and Ukraine?

Are you high on drugs? What, do you think this is Kenya or something where all they have are rifles and can't shoot for shit? Hell no, they're not going to send troops.

Will the European Union impose more sanctions on Russia? Will their navies lend a helping hand?

I wouldn't hold my breath. I haven't heard much condemnation coming out of any EU country over the Russian taking of Ukrainian naval vessels.

After all, this is all happening in Europe. Someone is bound to have noticed.

Perhaps they are preparing a response in secret and will spring into action after the G-20 Summit?

Yes, that's it, they are going to take action as soon as they all get back to their countries.

Fat chance. 

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.  

No Justice in the US Without the Death Penalty

And I mean a real death penalty, not the pretend death penalty we put in place where a death row inmate has a better chance of dying from natural causes than by the hand of the State. There is no reason a person on death row should be there for 20 years and handily outliving their victims families. There should be an appeal and then an execution within 90 days if that appeal does not overturn or change the sentence, period.

Over the last several decades the goal of "progressive" lawmakers has been to legislate the death penalty out of our justice system by instituting a lengthy and costly appeals system designed not to protect the rights of the accused but to drive the cost of sentencing a killer to death up to the point where it is becomes more cost-effective to keep them alive than to actually mete out justice for the crime. Over time it has also been proven that a Life Sentence doesn't always mean life behind bars. Many are eventually paroled to lead lives that their victims were never able to.

The victims and the families of victims are an afterthought when it comes to protecting the perpetrator and the victim impact statements are just a dog and pony show. Whatever the verdict is, it will be a disappointment to the victim and their family. And in the case of murder, that's a guarantee. 

But what about innocent victims of the system, mistakenly and unjustly convicted of a crime of murder? I say when in doubt, don’t. Don’t sentence them to death. But if you have people like David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam killer, Colin Ferguson, the New York Subway shooter, John Allen Mohammed and John Lee Malvo of the Atlanta sniper murders, or Dzhorar Tsarnaev the Boston Marathon Bomber, these people were caught dead to rights and should be Euthanized. There is no doubt they committed their crimes and they should pay the ultimate penalty for them. In all of the above cases they killed multiple people and cause incalculable suffering for the victims surviving family not to mention chaos and lasting trepidation in the communities in which these killings occurred.

Our criminal justice system, like the correctional system, is a business. Many a livelihood is provided and so it pays to have a murder victim’s family come back to court every 5 years to insure that some liberal judge doesn't release the killer because the day they don’t show up, he’s out. That has got to be torture and that is no way to live for people who haven’t done anything to deserve this kind of treatment at the hands of the judicial system.

It has also been brought to my attention that the Prison Phone Contracts generate $362 million dollar a year for the winning bidder and of that $152 million is kicked back to the prison system. How's that for taking advantage of a captive audience? Do you know how much revenue the System will lose if we actually put these people to death? This is money we're talking about. Money for lawyers, money for the judges and money for the phone company. Do you want to let justice hurt that revenue stream? That's downright heartless!

Yet the most basic rule of life is: “Protect Yourself at All Times” and if something should happen then there’s nothing anybody can do to bring a loved one back. Life is for the living but even so, unless we return to true punishment in this country where the penalty fits the crime, we as a nation are going to continue to see more brazen murders, experience increased lawlessness AND higher costs in our already overburdened and under funded penal system.

It is a harsh reality but a reality none the less. There are people in this world who have committed horrendous crimes against their fellow humans. As rational beings, we cannot have these people continue to walk among us and it just does not serve society to keep them alive for 30 + years at, ultimately, the victim's expense. 

Whether one believes that the death penalty is a deterrent or not is irrelevant. The death penalty is a punishment, a penance to be paid for the crime of murder. 

How much longer do we have to wait? 

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? 

Fighting Leftist Totalitarians

It is said that to win a revolution, you must capture the hearts and minds of the people.

And for the Radical Left of this country I can only say that "I'm not feeling it".

And neither, I will speculate for a moment, is the majority of the American people.

The last two years in particular have been a constant battle to hold off the Leftist Mobs who seek to take through, political skulduggery, media propaganda, deep-state surveillance, investigations and leaks, paid mobs, violence and threats of future violence what they could not win at the ballot box.

You see, after all, whether anyone cares to admit it on the Left, they did not win at the ballot box. But despite they're steadfast insistence that we all should abide by the election result prior to the 2016 vote, this seems to be the last advice they have been willing to take afterwards.

So the "resistance" will build but it can only fall farther behind.

So you may ask, with the economy growing, employment dropping, new and better trade deals being negotiated, just what are these people resisting?

You and I.

And all the people who made the "wrong" choice in who should be leading the country.

How the Constitution Works

The founding fathers saw people like Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton coming. Real lasting changes are hard to come by through the legislative process. This is by design. The framers of the Constitution didn't want some totalitarian with a pen and a phone to ride in and force their way of thinking upon the entire nation. You've seen how Congress works, it's zany at best and the first time the first president of these United States, his Excellency himself, George Washington visited Congress as President, he was quoted as saying "I never want to go in there again.".

I'm paraphrasing but you can be sure, his Excellency expressed no desire to return to that bickering cacophonous place. Getting a law passed is tough! And Amendment even tougher. Getting Congress on the same page is like herding cats.

But the U.S. Constitution states that the President has to deal with Congress to get things done. A president can either learn to deal with Congress or attempt to get around it. Under the Law, however, any such circumventions will only be impermanent and easily undone by the next one to hold the office of President.

This is what Barak Obama has come to see. For all his slip-shod hooey, nose-in-the-air shucking and jiving, his intimidations, resolutions, deceptions, deceits and attempts at circumvention, the only thing that is left of his 8 years in office is the disappointment of his most ardent supporters; the black community and the financial disaster that is the Affordable Care Act.

And the people grew tired of his shit.

So they went out, voted and got somebody else.

And that somebody else, in less than 2 years, has turned things around and is floating everybody's boat. Not just the Liberal Elite's boats but YOUR boat and MY boat.

This is what the Left is fighting for. They want THEIR boat but don't want you to have YOUR boat.

Now is the best time in a long time to get out and make some money for yourself and the Left doesn't like it.

Where the Hell is G.W. Bush and Mitt Romney?

Brett Kavanagh was THEIR guy. Donald Trump, in a conciliatory move, put him up for the job. So where are these chicken shits now?

That's the problem with doing a thankless job. Nobody thanks you.

And do you think for one moment that G.W. Bush or Wishy Washy Romney would have stood by Judge Kavanagh like Donald Trump has done. That's how tough President Trump is.

Imagine Mitt Romney going through the last two years that President Trump has endured?

Ha ha ha. Can't.

The Ideological Battle

Seeing Barak Obama back out on the campaign trail after his brief sabbatical only serves to remind me of his failures, of his slick lies and of his burned into stone Marxist Ideology. His act has grown stale and his ideology has been exposed, again, for the failure of design Socialism has always displayed. It doesn't work, hasn't worked and won't work. There is no "balancing" it, there is no "incrementation" to it. You either have Socialism or you don't.

These are the people we are dealing with. They only seek to undermine and shout down opposition. Rather than reason with dissent, they work to suppress it. They talk down success and limit opportunity. They want control and independence is in direct conflict with control. If you are autonomous, they are powerless, therefore people must be dependent.

THEY will determine who is deserving of success. While in office, Mr. Obama tried to pick who will win and who will lose in the market place and he never picked right. Every group he had backed with taxpayer funds has folded. Gone. Phitt! And so is the money.

These are the people you want in power? They had their opportunity to lead and grow the nation but chose instead to apologize for it's successes and excesses and in almost a form of self-flagellation chose to put limits on our industries. They said America had a violent, even criminal and genocidal past. As if one could name a country that didn't and had chosen to ignore any contribution to the good of the world.

It's not like they actually want another crack at your good graces now. What they want is back into power regardless of how they get it. They don't care if you want them or not, here they come.

It's an effort doomed for failure.

But there will be pain.
