How Low Can They Go?

Judging by the Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearings, pretty darn low.

Little should surprise the American voting public these days but the display put on this week by the "no holds barred" Leftist Democratic "leadership" if I should use so dubious a statement, has, if not unprecedented, certainly hasn't been seen around here since, since way back in October 1991!

But Charles and Diane, with a little help from kindred spirit Michael Avenatti, the attorney for Trump provocateur and part-time stripper Stormy Daniels, have managed to make Anita Hill's testimony for Clarence Thomas' hearing look like a Pillow Fight!

 There's no Crying in Politics

Nothing personal Judge Kavanaugh but you must be destroyed. You must be humiliated and torn limb from limb, pilloried, thrown to the ground, picked up and thrown to the ground again.

That's just business as usual for the Political Left these days. They weren't always like this but now they are. When they are in power, they want to stay in power and when they aren't in power, they have demonstrated in no uncertain terms this week that they will do anything to gain that power back.

Not only must they destroy this man, the way they tried to destroy Donald Trump, but they want David Kavanaugh to serve as a glowing example of what you too will face should you be foolish enough to want a piece of THEIR political pie.

You have been warned.

An Unruly Mob

To achieve this end the Leftist Democrats have abandoned reason and appears to have become an unruly mob. They don't respect presidential elections when their candidate didn't win, they don't respect the rules of Congressional conduct when a judge not of their choosing is nominated to the Supreme Court, they don't respect opposing views since their media enablers fail to post information that counters what they want you to hear and they don't respect law and order since their paid mobs assault people at Republican rallies and light fires at places where people with opposing views are invited to speak.

If they don't respect opposing views and answer with slurs, threats and violence, where does that leave you should you disagree?

You have been warned.

Who Leads the Mob?

That's easy. Ultimately nobody does. Just as the Occupy Movement dissolved into chaos, so too will Democratic Radical Rule. How can you call people who only know how to lead smear campaigns and media amplified character assassination "Leaders"?  I remember when they used to offer legislation of their own. I guess those days are over.

Is David Kavenaugh for Real?

I over heard in work today from some very liberal co-workers who could not believe that Judge Kavanaugh had kept his calendars from 38 years ago. "Who does that, who?!" they exclaimed incredulously.

Apparently over-achieving potential high court nominees do and in this case it was a good idea.

I also have a neighbor who is a Union Man and we talked about whether he believed that the Judge "Did it?" when it came to these accusations. He said he believed he did. He said that he himself was all over girls, overly aggressive, drunk, obnoxious when in high school and so he was sure that the youthful Kavanaugh did likewise. I didn't go through high school like that myself but that was the answer I expected and I got it.

I have met people like David Kavanaugh. Granted there aren't many like him and this is why he's going for the nation's Supreme Judicial Court while I'm holding on with both hands to my crumby White Collar job and my neighbor is a Union Thug.

I didn't think they were for real either but over time I realized that there certainly were uptanding people in this world, that they were genuine and reverent and that just maybe, I should look beyond my own cynicism and start trying to figure out which side of the social spectrum I fell into.

What Now? 

Judge Kavanaugh either gets confirmed or he doesn't. The usual shaky Republicans can either suck it up for the party and forget, temporarily, about garnering favorable legislation for their state by pretending to go wobbly or the can throw in with the Never Trumpers of the GOP and see where that gets them after all that has recently transpired.

But  no matter what happens with this vote, it's going to be the next vote that will be the ultimate reflection of how this latest tragic display of American Politics has been perceived by the majority of the American voting public.

What do you think they'll remember most about this?

Judge Kavanaugh Pees on Nurse as Infant

California Democratic Congresswoman Diane Feinstein has leveled yet another more despicable accusation at President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavenaugh today. This is even worse than the allegation he sexually harassed an unidentified woman back while he was in high school.

Yes, this latest accusation of giving a "golden shower" to a young and inexperienced female nurse while he was about one year old has graver intonations since this is a well known act of dominance by a male when done to a female.

The FBI is looking into it.

Diane Feinstein Attempts the Clarence Thomas Maneuver 

It was an act of grasping at straws then and it's even more ludicrous now since we've seen this tried already. And it didn't work then either. The only difference was that the Democrats back when Clarence Thomas was being confirmed actually talked someone into going before the cameras. That someone was Anita Hill. She wasn't believable then and she's not any more convincing now. It was a sham and well, that's American politics for you. And despite the hand-wringing and the gnashing of teeth. It failed in the end. And so will this attempt but with the cost of cementing these events into a newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice. Judge Kavanaugh will never be able to forget his treatment at the hands of these clawing, grasping weasels of a human subspecies; The Liberals.

Trump Administration Has the Nerve to Question the Timing

National Public Radio today expressed surprise and shock that the Trump administration questioned the timing of these latest accusations coming as they have in the run up to next Thursday's confirmation vote. Don't they know that an accusation should be enough? And based on this accusation alone, Judge Kavanaugh should admit he's not fit to hold the position and should withdraw in disgrace. After all, the accuser is unidentified and we all know what THAT means, right?

Life in the Me Too Universe

An accusation is as good as a conviction these days. Just make something up, which is clearly what this story is. Totally a blatant and telegraphed low blow to the genitals of common decency, truth and the unity of the country. But NONE of that matters to the Political Left. The ends justify the means. And even if this lie of lies delivered with a straight face doesn't work, and it won't, it will only set the bar lower so that these Marxist worms can go even lower in the future.

How such a notion is laughed at at face value only serves to remind me of the still lingering power of the Oposition Press. The Media Enablers of the Left will have televised debates and have "serious" discussions over who the accuser is and why they chose to come forward now, after what, 39 years?

What's your hurry?

The Liberal Judges

Judges Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor must look upon this bizarre spectacle and thank their Dark Lord that they are dyed-in-the-wool party Aparatchiks and didn't have to go through this type of grilling. Would they have survived such scrutiny?

We'll never know.

Judge Clarence Thomas

Clarence Thomas, fighting off his "High Tech Lynching" with his classic comment of being an "Uppity Black Man" has gone on from his Liberal Baptismal of Fire at the hands of the early Progressives who felt he was "the wrong kind of black man" to become the most consistent interpreter of the U.S. Constitution that I have ever had the good graces to witness. I thank the Universe that he was able to prevail and to prove, by his strict interpretation of the LAW of the LAND that the Democrats were right to be afraid of him for he has proven to be freedom's champion.

And I hope with all my might that they have just as good a reason to fear Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

Obama Flaunts His Pessimism

Former President Barak Obama truly cannot figure it out.

A man who never met an economy he could understand just cannot figure out how current President Donald Trump could turn around the U.S. economy so quickly.

He just has no idea. He is baffled by the whole thing. So much so, he is compelled to broadcast his incredulity across the globe in a speech meant to denigrate the sitting president but only served to bring into sharp contrast the glaring differences between the two men.

President Obama believes that only Government can grow an economy. That the only time the economy LOOKED to be growing was when his administration injected $ 832 Billion into the U.S. economy. This he did by sending U.S. Taxpayer money to the states in order to prop up their public sector workforce since, with all these people being out of work in the country, the tax revenues were falling and the states were looking to cut their public employee ranks.

So the government spent a lot of money. A lot of money they had to pull out of the pockets of the people who earned it first. In essence, it's robbing Peter to pay Paul and we would never know how far that $ 832 Billion dollars would have gone to stimulate the economy had it been left in the peoples pockets to spend as they see fit.

Then President Obama did not trust the American people with their money. He and only he could know how better to distribute these funds to GROW the economy.

And for a little while it did, of course, because the states spent that money and kept their public sector employed. They got paychecks and money was put into circulation. But it was just a band aid, a short term solution to a long range issue. And it eventually showed.

Once that money was spent, after the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2014 looked like things were taking off, the economy fell right back to below expectations and at one point, between the 3rd quarter of 2015 to the 1st quarter of 2017, tripped along at 1%, 0.4%, 1.5%, 2.3%, 1.9%, 1.8% and 1.8%.

And that is the Obama Ecomony we all remember, the one Mr. Obama thinks we do not.

That is because there was no return on that money put into the economy. When it was spent, it was gone and the economy got nothing back. There were no businesses that grew because of it and no additional wealth created by it. Money taken out of the economy and then put back into it isn't an Investment. There's no net gain. It's just a wash but for the many extra hands it passes through. The middleman, in this case The Government, takes it's cut too. Where is the growth in this process?

President Trump, on the other hand, put the money back into peoples pockets so they can go out and spend it. Not just because of the tax cut but also ending excessive regulations and other business taxes that restricted small business growth. People think that big corporations are the largest employers of American workers but it's really small business, companies that employ 100 people or less, who have always been the backbone of U.S. industry.

Under the Obama administration small businesses were just another stream of revenue and his administrations policies restricted them but under the Trump administration, these restrictions are being eased and they are coming back and coming back for everybody. All boats are being lifted in the new tide.

The man who once told union employees in the manufacturing sector that their jobs were NEVER coming back and that this was the NEW NORMAL can never understand what it takes to foster real growth.

This is why Mr. Obama is back out on the campaign trail. He's trying to buy a CLUE!

No Mr. Obama, you may think it takes a magic wand to do what President Trump has done but it doesn't. It takes an OPTIMIST. A person who believes that great achievements can be accomplished by a nation that he thinks is GREAT.

You aught to have tried it but you didn't believe it could happen.

Big difference. 

Failed Ex-President Attacks President Trump

The man who's imperial executive orders, regal sidestepping of the U.S. Congress and socialist mandates are the reasons that Donald Trump is now President of the United States has now come back to embarrass himself further by being the first former president to come out and criticize a sitting one.

And it is great, great news that it is former president Barack Obama to be the first!

His adherence to his Marxist agenda was unquestioned, his determination to destroy long standing American institutions self evident and his pursuit in undermining the social fabric that had become known as the American Dream, a given.

Now Mr. Obama's total lack of class has shoved all that aside.

And he doesn't even remember his presidency right!

The delusional former president thinks that THIS economy is HIS economy! Mr. Obama now recalls that his 8 years of  regulations, taxations and economic burdens were contributing to a "building" economic upturn.

Haha, how absurd a recollection.

The only industry that showed a strong increase during the Obama administration was domestic gun manufacturing which rose 192%.

So then President Trump is elected, comes in and does the EXACT OPPOSITE of what Mr. Obama was doing and BLAMO! The economy takes off!

Growth we haven't seen for YEARS. In particular, the Obama Years!

They sucked.

Even the black community expressed disappointment in Mr. Obama's presidency in it's waining days. They saw no improvement in youth unemployment and it actually got worse. They saw no improvement in black on black crime. That also got worse. They saw the Hispanic population displace the black community as the second largest minority community in the U.S.

You get what you vote for.

Imagine if the Leftist Media got its way and Hillary Clinton was in office. You think your job would have survived 12 years of Marxism? Bad enough we had 8 years of this crap.

But thats what this is all about isn't it? You did not vote for the person THEY selected for you. This whole Leftist Media attack, attack, attack, day after day with new "revelations" and insider "stories" invented out of whole clothe. There is no Resistance insider in the Trump administration. The whole thing is an invention based on the premise that it's harder to find something that does not exist. Try it sometime.

Now the only major thing left to undo is ObamaCare that is continuing to drain resources from small businesses across the nation. While president, Obama did his best to destroy small business and his crowning achievement to this end was the Affordable Care Act. This January the projected increase in premiums will be 10%.

Can you imagine?

But former president Barack Obama did not mention this upcoming 10% increase in his anti-Trump speech.

He also didn't mention his attempt to undermine the 2nd Amendment with his "Gun Walking" scheme or his attempt to open the boarders and stymie immigration enforcement turning our boarder with Mexico into a lawless zone. Mr. Obama also left out how he used the IRS to suppress his political opponents. That's just a tip of the iceberg that was the Obama Presidency.

If this was a regular person rather than a born and raised a brazen Marxist, he would be embarrassed by the fact that someone else did what he cared not to do at all.

Now Mr. Obama just looks stupid and seeing him on stage with his trusty teleprompter again only reminds me of all the failures he championed, from the failed Solyndra solar power company that was subsidized at taxpayer expense to the tune of $25 Million or his interference in Israel's election for prime minister. Don't get me started. 

How foolish to stand up and criticize someone who he is not, a Successful President. And it's only been two years!

It only took two years to turn around the economy that the former president never got off the ground.

Of course, Obama wasn't actually trying.

See you on the campaign trail Mr. Obama.

Making the NFL History

Its not about the protests since I stopped watching the National Football League ages ago. It isn't about Colin Kaepernick, the catalyst for the flag protests during the playing of our national anthem, signing a major advertising deal with major major NFL advertiser Nike, since I've also never owned a pair of their shoes or bought any of their athletic wear.

This is really all a distraction from the main problem of American Football and how it has "evolved".

It's all about the Destruction.

American Football destroys the people who play it.

You just don't see the level of catastrophic injury in other sports. It's not even close. American Football is Weaponized Sport. You get hit in other sports but you don't get blasted by someone wearing the sporting equivalent of armor plate. Where other sports wear helmets for protection, in the NFL they wear them for striking. Helmets started out as protection and then they became something other.

But then the game really took off in popularity.

Perhaps its our war-like nature. Football fits into that. It's the taking of "territory" on offense, it's the defense "shutting down" an opponent. There is the field "generalship" displayed by the quarterback and the "coaching discipline" exercised by the coach. It's smashing people in the mouth and "spectacular" open field hits that leave an opposing player lying on the field. Oh, people feel bad when it happens but that's what they came for. What did they think was going to happen? People are not indestructible.

And the NFLs greatest stars are getting destroyed. Some show it immediately but most show it over time.

Winning and Losing are part of life's lessons and there's nothing wrong with wanting to win, working to win and, of course, winning. But "Dominance" is a key factor in the NFL, more so. in my humble opinion, than in other sports. There are sports people who exhibit dominance in their fields but its more about their consistency of victory an not the ferocity of how they play the game. They can be described as "smelling blood in the water" on the verge of victory but if, say, there is a stringed racket involved, nobody's going to get hurt beyond a pulled hamstring.

In pro football, the opponent must be vanquished in dominant fashion.

The NFL is a gladiatorial vestige of our ancient past that should be buried in the sands of time.

There is a time where all sports, no matter how wildly popular they were, run their course. Before Baseball, Football and Basketball, Cycling was the biggest sport in the world. Boxing was HUGE and Track & Field heavily bet upon. Horse Racing was also big, big, big.

But although these sports are still around to some extent, they aren't nearly the events they were. People's sporting tastes change and they find other sporting interests and there are plenty more to choose from today. Many of them way less destructive than bashing your brains out on the "Grid-Iron". The trick now is to get the television networks, fully in bed with the big money sports, to put them on the air on a regular basis.

And, let's face it, the dominance of football as a national sport is only perpetuated by acts of Congress who have granted the NFL, along with other major sports, exemptions from the rules of business that give them "Not For Profit" status and exemptions from Anti-Trust laws. This gave them leverage to make massive deals with the national television networks that allow the "major" sports to dominate the airwaves. But if interest in the NFL falls hard, the networks will have to look for new alternatives.

So regardless of whether you are put off by the protests, the decades of lying about long-term injury, the long-term injuries themselves, the DRUGS, the cozy business dealings or just the big money marketing bullshit and crass commercialism of the National Football League you can find other sporting interests. Since other sports don't get much air time, you don't know what you're missing.

If you want to see people destroy themselves for entertainment, well there it is, but if you are growing increasingly uncomfortable with the idea of the results of the game, you have alternatives. You don't have to watch catastrophic personal destruction to be entertained.

People who play sports get injured but the NFL makes commonplace what in other sports is a rarity and in most sport unheard of.

And now all the years of covering such things up and the bubble of belief in the sport is coming to it's end.

I wouldn't miss the NFL one second if it should disappear tomorrow.
