Protesting vs Looting

In 1963 the late Reverend Martin Luther King organized a march on Washington DC, where he made his "I have a Dream" speech, to foster change in the United States. Louis Farrakhan organized a march on Washington DC in 1995, the so called Million Man March, to also elicit personal pride and change in the country.

Some say nothing much has happened to change things in this country since then.

I can see why marching on Washington isn't doing much to change things. Our Constitutional Government, by design, is geared for measured change. So it stands to reason that frustration can occur when groups, hungry for acceptance, decide it's better to take a shortcut.

But why, instead of marching to City Hall, The State House or head to Washington, do today's protesters head straight to the Mercantile Districts?

If a march on Washington isn't going to do it for you, I can't see the political advantage of tearing into an Apple Store or a Macy's Department Store. All I can get from this is that, rather than this being about the careless murder of a man by the callous police, it's about getting free stuff for yourself. In fact, it's ALL about YOU, isn't it?

Here in the city of Boston, last evenings "Protesters" marched right past the State House, where the State Legislature meets and where the Governor has his offices and headed instead down the street to nearby Downtown Crossing, where there are department stores, jewelry shops and other businesses big and small.

Why pick there to do your protesting?

Across the street from the State House is the famous Boston Common, which has been a traditional place to hold protests and rallies. The British garrison stationed on the Common, back when Boston was locked down and closed off by the British Empire following the Tea Party, watched Samuel Adams ride by on his way to the 2nd Continental Congress in Philadelphia to urge independence for the Colonies.

But this place too, was overlooked for the expression of the personal moral outrage felt by those marchers who only wanted to show their solidarity with the spirit of George Floyd, I'm sure. The city common is just not a suitable place to fully communicate their view on race relations in these United States circa 2020.

No, they have to go to the Shops!

This is where they can best be heard.

We just can't understand what it's like to be them! We can't walk in their shoes because we don't know, won't know, CAN'T possibly EVER know what it's like to be where they are at this very moment in their unrelenting grief.

Which at the moment is standing outside the window of the Shop & Save with a brick in their hand and a firebomb in their backpack.

"NOBODY knows how we FEEL!" they scream. "You racist, leave us alone to protest the only way we can to express our feelings."

"After all, they're only stores and shops, they're not people. They have insurance! So whats wrong with tearing them up? "

I've heard this lately from media people and Liberal politicians and it's unbelievable the lack of support for the people who risked their savings and put in the time to start a small business. Whole families depend on the income of many of these places and they all work there. With the taxes they pay, this is what they get? After being arbitrarily shut down and thrown out of work for 3 whole months, this is what they get?

Contrary to popular belief, it is the Small Businesses that drive employment in this country. Businesses that employ under 100 people employ the most people in the U.S. and not the big corporations. And between the bizarre shutting down of "non-essential" businesses and now the direct burning and looting attacks directed, not at the seats of government but at them, small business in this country is suddenly very much on the ropes.

This isn't an accident. This is by design to make sure the small businessman, a vulnerable pillar of our economy, is injured beyond repair. This is the double-whammy of being denied revenue combined with a guarantee of increased overhead because their insurance premiums will be going up, that is, if they're insured at all which many are not. It's not free money.

And once they're gone, who will risk taking their place?

Our local governors and mayors better wake up and drop the political game to stop this now.

This is not a protest and these are not protesters.

Time for the Governors to quit dragging their feet and open up the States already.

Let's get back to work!

Organized Anarchy in the U.S.A.

This is not your father's protest and 1968, this isn't. Oh, there's righteous anger alright and deservedly so but there is also something more.

With the well-funded professional Anarchist groups blending in and using the George Floyd protests as cover, we are seeing some well-organized and coordinated attacks. These groups have grown to the point where we are now seeing them able to throw big numbers of dedicated soldiers at the Walls of Government. And also, the Gates of the White House.

The protesters and looters just an anticipated and welcome distraction. Consider them momentary volunteers for The Cause, human battering-rams and shields to enable their forces to enter the Castle. These people aren't after toasters and televisions but they want the burning buildings, smashed police cars and beaten bodies to be on YOUR television. They want you afraid and, in regard to race, ashamed. That's the aim. That's how they plan to get you to jump through their hoop...like a trained circus animal.

So at this point in time, can we stop pretending this is a protest?

These groups, ANTIFA, which stands for Anti-Fascism, was established to combat Fascism and other forms of "extreme right-wing ideology". So what group do you think falls on the Right?

Conservatives spring to mind.

And "Extreme" is just a state of perception. One person's extremist is another person's Republican Senator, or Republican President for that matter.

But by their own definition, they are separate from the Right, so they must therefore fall somewhere else on the political spectrum. The Left perhaps, since they don't appear to be Moderates. And if they have shown up at these protests dressed in their uniforms of all-black with head scarves and incendiary devices in hand, then surely a case can be made that they fall somewhere on the FAR-Left.

Then there is Black Lives Matter. Who can dispute this? Nobody. And don't say "All Lives Matter" because now you're being insulting.

These are essentially the paid mobs of the Political Left, developed and organized over time into a stealthy fighting force that now has to be taken very seriously. We've seen them in action before, infiltrating college campus protests burning buildings and attacking when Conservative people speak.

These college attacks, one at UC Berkeley in California and another at Middlebury College in Vermont, both in 2017, were dress rehearsals and recruiting drives. Although quite serious, these relatively small-time operations also served as tactical lessons since in both instances, they got away cleanly and their targets were totally unprepared and left bewildered at the intensity and scale that was exhibited. And most notably, even their Leftist enablers in government were caught off-guard.

Clearly these were attacks of an unpredicted scale.

And here we are.

Now three years older, their young Generals and Lieutenants have matured and grown into their labors and planning. The Sargents and Foot Soldiers too, have drilled and learned their tactics to where they can perform them autonomously. With their recruitment goals met, their ideology and rhetoric set, they are ready for the national stage.

All they needed was a catalyst.

Unfortunately, these days it doesn't take long. After all these national incidents of outrage, how do you get the same thing happening over and over again so neatly framed for global broadcast? It boggles the mind.

The Micheal Brown shooting in Ferguson, MO, may have been contrived but there have been two clearly negligent killings of black people that have stood out in our most recent past; Eric Gardner in New York City, chocked to death by a policeman using an illegal hold while he was selling individual cigarettes to people on the sidewalk. And Freddie Gray in Baltimore, a troubled young man who, at the very least, was not protected from falling while cuffed behind his back in the police van where, it was said, he stuck his neck and died from his injuries.

So to discover yet another disconnected man-in-uniform capable of the very public and torturous death of George Floyd still on the city of Minneapolis's payroll is bizarre in itself. Why protect a potential liability like this? But this is not what the Brotherhood of Uniformed Policemen think. They just think "Protect Their Own".

And that ain't YOU, brother!

And this bullshit about "if you can speak, you can breathe..." had nothing to do with it. The artery that carries blood to your head is on the side of your neck and having someone's knee there to stop the flow of blood will kill you. And if these people had "underlying health conditions" perhaps the arresting officer should have taken a look at someone like, say, the 400 lb. Eric Gardner and thought "Gee, maybe if I do this, I could kill him?"

Ya think?

According to the last study I saw, just under 40 people are killed every year after being Tazer-ed and nobody seems to care about that.

So the latest match has been lit and the fires for the Summer of 2020 have been started heading into the November elections. Will we see these same "protests" come to the national conventions? I think that would be a sound bet. This is going to be kept going along with the obviously political Covid-19 lock-downs and the economic havoc they are causing all the way to the November elections. That looks like the plan anyway.

It will be important for these lock-downs to end immediately and for people to get back to work and try to salvage their livelihoods. Too many idle hands have made this whole situation worse. It's time for the Leftist Governors call off the game and to end this self-destruction as of yesterday.

Just where and how far they are all willing to go just keeps getting more outrageous with each passing day. Do they really think they will be able to turn this all off like a switch even if their candidate wins?

And what if they can't?

Media Spreading Virus Fear

Turn on the Television: Death!

Turn on the Radio: Death!

Listen to the news conferences, what are the reporters saying?

"Mr. President, what can you say to the people who are going to DIE!"

Are you kidding me? Who says things like that? Crazy people, that's who. Members of the National Media. Talking like the Virus is a virtual death sentence. You get it, you die!

Dead, you, now, it's over!

It's not a death sentence. Far from it. Yes, people are dying from it but the longer this goes on, the more people like myself are suspecting that there are other motivations behind the news beyond the concerns for public safety. The numbers just aren't adding up.

Governors Shut State Economies

Although by law it is supposed to take an act of the legislature, the Governors of many states have simply closed almost all businesses in their states with a wave of their hand.

California Governor Gavin Newsom, Mario Cuomo of New York, Gina Raimondo of Rhode Island and here in Massachusetts, Governor Charlie Baker have all crashed their state's economies in an effort to contain the virus. Well, I hope it's worth it because poverty has it's own health consequences, lots of them. Will there be someone keeping track of that?

Whether you believe Self-Isolation works or if you are a fan of Herd Immunity, you've gotta admit that what is going on is over-the-top extreme to shut everything down in the states for over 2 months and counting. No sales, no taxes, no demand and no income.

But the bills, they're still out there.

My landlord has yet to call me saying not to worry about anything and I'll bet the phone hasn't rung for many of these business owners either. Deferring the payments isn't going to help since they aren't going to actually go away. But their income has and it may not be coming back. And if it does, chances are they won't be able to cover the loses. But we won't know for a few months down the road if they ever free us up from these open-air prisons we're living in.

I don't have the time or the fortitude to list how all this shit is rolling downhill. From leases, to lien-holders to banks to tax revenue, liability insurance, auto and homes sales...don't get me started. But it all has to get paid back.

The names of these Governors will live in infamy if they don't get off their political high-horses and get people back to work sooner than later. If it goes on past May, who knows where they expect to get the money to cover the public service payrolls. Or will they actually cut the state budgets? They can't get the money out of all the private-sector unemployed they created. Good luck trying.

Invoking Science!

When someone says, "Listen to the Science!" or "People aren't listening to the Science!" I know that they are trying to pull the wool over my eyes. There's nothing to believe about science these days. There's always a political or monetary motivation behind the lions-share of scientific reporting that there's really no relying upon any of it for truth. Scientists have been caught cheating and colluding to "fix the problems" with their findings. We were better off with the Alchemists.

So when these knuckle-heads predicted 2.2 million people dead, 200,000 in the U.S, how on God's Green Earth can you believe this in the first place? How stupid are you? You're obviously being PLAYED!

And yet people just jump through the hoop every time the Media holds it out for them. Like circus animals. They're out there right now thinking wearing a mask is going to help, waging a finger at you for not "Social Distancing" like some Virus Nazi, or they leap off the sidewalk into the street when they encounter someone walking in their direction. Like if they do catch the Virus they'll say, "Perhaps I got it from that guy I passed on the sidewalk last week?".

Turn off the television you stupid twit, you'll feel a whole lot better.

And when this is over and the truth comes out, and it will come out, there are going to be quite a lot of people who should be totally ashamed of themselves and their behavior.

I said SHOULD be ashamed of themselves since we all know many of these people do this sort of thing all the time for a living and so it's just a job to them. Nothing personal. The others will just rationalize it all away until something else comes along to make people look in a different direction. (Cue the Water-skiing Squirrel!).

Depending on Government

Since the closing of the state businesses and the calling for bailouts, the Governors have forced President Trump into becoming FDR, to a point. The Feds were already running $26 Trillion in deficits before this happened so there's no money there either. They will have to print it if they want to hand it out. It won't matter how much they print, it won't be enough to cover the damage done.

Mitch McConnell came up with a great idea, to let the states file for bankruptcy. That drew howls from the Governors since that's the signal that it's time to open up their economies because the Feds will not be writing checks to bail them out. They don't like the idea because should they file for bankruptcy, that will void all the municipal union and public pension contracts and they would all have to renegotiated and, most likely, adjusted downward.

Time to open things up or face the music, Guv'nor.

The American Diet

The studies coming out of New York City in regards to the 12,000 plus people who have been counted to have died of the Virus, 89% of them had other life-threatening conditions including coronary artery disease, hypertension, obesity and diabetes. The two studies I read pointed squarely to the American diet of takeout-food, high-fat, high-salt and high-calories combined with a sedentary lifestyle. This explains why Japan, with the worlds oldest population, doesn't come close to the numbers of NYC alone never mind the whole country. Even though they smoke like chimneys and drink like fishes, they don't eat like crap! Very little fat in the Japanese diet and they aren't that into sweets either.

Living in Fear

Yes, pneumatic flu is a danger. It seems to ignore most but some people get it bad. And if you get it bad, you could die from it, like dozens of other things you could die from any time.

Do you really want to live this way? Do your really think this is a new normal? I don't. The sooner we get out there and start living, the sooner the virus will disappear. I am not going to live this way. I refuse. I resent the Governors destroying my livelihood by royal decree and becoming a law unto themselves for whatever the motivation. I think it's political frankly, and it stinks.

Time to give up the charade and get back to work. This is now not a crisis of epidemic but a crisis of government. The Virus didn't close down all the businesses, President Trump didn't close down all the businesses. The Governors, THEY closed down all the businesses.

Nobody should forget this.

Joe Biden for President

This is amounting to Elder Abuse.

It's pretty obvious to anyone even partially paying attention that "Old Joe" has gotten a bit too old. And in their desperate bid to hound President Donald Trump out of office, the Democratic party is all too willing to throw this addled old man out in front of the world to ultimately publicly go off the rails.

It's kind of heartless if you think about it for a minute.

Joe Biden won't be able to do the job. The Biden Whitehouse, Heaven forbid, would be run by a shadowy committee of unelected "advisers" and Jill Biden.

The enabling media is going out of their way to limit access to the gaffs but they're all coming through because, let's face it, they're happening every time Joe Biden opens his mouth.

It's a sad state of affairs that the Democratic National Committee, in it's efforts to avoid a national referendum on Communism vs. Capitalism, would rather put up a man who is just not capable of debate or cognitive communication. It's actually unreal. And it could be a really sad spectacle should Joe be left one-on-one in a debate with President Trump, which would be inevitable should this charade continue. 

Capitalism vs. Communism 

It's almost funny that after 16 years as a House representative and then 13 years as a Senator, the DNC has suddenly realized that Sanders is a...choke...Communist!

That's right, he was ok enough when they screwed him over royally in 2016 but after whatever promises they made him then, it seems it's all forgotten now. The Democratic party is out to Get Bernie!

And they're doing almost too go of a job. If they should stop and consider that they're putting all their money on a man who can't function, their alienation of Bernie Sanders could come back to haunt them.

So again the American people, just as in 2016, are cheated out of a chance at the ultimate voting opportunity: Capitalism vs. Communism. This is just what the DNC doesn't want.

It is plain to see that the Democrats don't want this out on the table for a vote. They instead prefer to sneak their Socialist ideology into Congressional bills and through Judicial decisions. An outright vote will never do since given the chance, nobody would legitimately vote for their own demise.

It is in the Courts where the Democrats foist their wealth transfers and  vote-buying social give-a-ways on the American public since they can't win a straight up vote on such policies.

A Third Party Run?

But would Bernie Sanders even have the balls to do it? He has yet to demonstrate that he has.

I laughed out loud at the criticism Hillary Clinton had for Bernie. She said that Bernie had cost her the Presidency because he HESITATED before he finally endorsed her for president. Talk about living in denial!

First Hillary, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz and others in the DNC conspire to screw Sanders and all those idealistic people who busted their behinds on his campaign, out of the 2016 Democratic nomination and then wonder aloud why he "hesitated" to put in a good word for them! That's rich even for Washington politics.

What Bernie Sanders should have done then and should do now is show how he feels about all the support he's gotten from the Democratic party and run as an Independent Candidate or the Presidency. Why the hell not? His supporters aren't going to vote for Biden anyway, they're just going to stay home. Bernie might as well give the people who believed in him a chance to do what the Democratic National Committee has twice denied them; A chance to vote for Bernie for President.

It will also give the country a chance to vote definitively (for now) on which ideology they want the country to follow. It's a fair thing to ask.

What has Bernie Sanders got to lose now?

Nothing.

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.

 

Alex Jones is a Crazy Person

If you listen to this guy speak for 5 minutes, you just get the feeling that something is wrong with him. Sure he's "Conservative' I guess. So what? So he's a Conservative Crazy person and a self-promoting Show Boat on top of that. I don't know who he thinks he's speaking for but he's not speaking for me.

Youtube and Facebook can do what they want. If they boot Mr. Jones for content they don't like, they have every right to do so because it's THEIR site. Alex Jones doesn't pay to have his stuff on either site. It's free but it's not free because yes you can post stuff on there but if they don't like it, they can take it down. It's their site.

Alex Jones should just pony up the dough and get his own website. That way he can post all his crazy talk on his own site without further issue. That is the American Way.

I don't listen to Alex Jones because, to me, the content of his broadcasts is the ravings of a madman. He's almost as crazy as that guy Mark Levin. Levin is as Mad as a Hatter.

I can't listen to either of these guys for more than a minute. When they are on I ALMOST want to listen to a sports channel but instead I just turn the radio off.

It's like Mr. Jones and Mr. Levin want to get you into a fight. They want you to go running into the streets in outrage over the latest perceived (by them) slight. THEY are your Arbiters of Outrage. You don't have to think, let THEM tell you what to get your nose bent out of shape for. I don't know about you but I'd find this act exhausting after awhile. If I didn't think is was a put-on in the first place, which I do.

It makes me miss the late great David Brudnoy on Boston Radio station WBZ so very much. He had something neither of these guys have and that's called CLASS. He could so eloquently refer to a certain group as "Barbarians" you would just nod your head and smile because with one word, he had defined them. Friend and foe alike respected his opinion. He had well thought out ideas and logical arguments. When he made a point, you were hard pressed to talk your way out of it.

No bluster, no name calling, no grand standing, no anger and it was not an act.

In other words, everything opposite of what is going on today in the radio wars for the hearts and minds of the the voting citizen (and voting, driver's license holding non-citizen).

Today's Talk Radio

The so called Conservative radio of today is so boring. I can do a talk radio show today easy. Here's my opening line:

"Did you hear what the New York Times said about Donald Trump?"

Every phone line will light up.

"The latest from The Huffington Post will shock you!"

Call the advertisers and tell them we're raising our rates!

Anyone who calls one of these shows has rocks in their heads but apparently people have nothing better to do with their time than to wait on hold in order to be used as fodder for the host. It's their time so what can you do but marvel at the self-importance. I suggest that instead of listening to this poorly thought out ploy, the radio equivalent of click-bait, you either should go to bed with a good book or go to bed with somebody who's read one.

Go and live your life and put the phone down, cancel your Facebook page, you Linkedin page, your Twitter account and stay the hell away from social media and talk radio. You'll have so much more time for yourself and your real, live social circle.

You'll be glad you did.

U.S. Will Always Win a Trade War

This is a war China cannot win. Neither will Canada and neither will Mexico.

We were already losing the trade war when President Trump decided it was time to correct decades of trade missteps that cost the American consumer to the benefit of everybody else in an effort to gain 'good relations".

Well, screw that!

Now is the time to fix things and if the other nations don't want to renegotiate, well things are going to get tough...for them! We're running too many trade imbalances to remain polite. Not that our "Allies" have remained polite because they have not.

Don't let the hand wringing in the Leftist Press fool you, the U.S. is in great shape going into this trade war and regardless of all the defeatist talking down from the Democratic Party, the United States is going to put a hurt on the world if our trading "Allies" don't come back to the bargaining table.

The United States is the number one economy in the world. China is the 2nd but they are a distant second. Japan is the third biggest but they are a close third to China. Any slide by China and they're back to third place.

What these countries will do is pay the higher price. What the United States will do is buy local and pay the price also.

The difference is that the United States produces things that people around the world would rather have compared to their local product. What we will find in this contest is how much the U.S. product is valued around the world. Maybe patriotism will skew the numbers but not in the long run. And yes, this could take some time.

So let's take Kentucky Bourbon for instance. I'm sure China's version will be satisfactory to the growing affluent populace that craves high end booze. Or, perhaps, the Chinese populace that craves the real stuff will just pony up the dough and pay the extra money. What do you think will happen?

They will pay the extra money.

On the other hand, we don't need Chinese booze or their steel.

We may pay more for U.S steel, but we have the money. If we suddenly find that the local product is the same price as the import, we'll pay for the better product at the same price.

Yes, we'll have less money to spend or spend more for the product but we HAVE IT. What other countries around the world will not have is access to the largest group of mindless consumers in the history of the world up to this point. Fast forward 100 years and we STILL will have the largest group of mindless consumers in the history of the world.

Consumers in other countries are living in the Dark Ages. They still use faculties like Discretion and Logic when it comes to their purchases. They carefully mull over what they want and figure out the best product for the best price. But here in the U.S. we'll buy just about anything regardless of whether we can even PAY for it or not. All we know is that we want it.

And isn't that enough?

Who buys millions of $ 20.00 fish lures that twitch and makes buzzing sounds to, maybe, attract more fish? We do. Who pays $ 50.00 for a PILLOW, as in the popular American product "My Pillow"? We do!

Who made former heavyweight champion boxer George Forman a multi, multi millionaire by buying his electric hamburger grill?

We did!!

And why? We don't know!

Did this crazy shit happen in Russia? No. Germany? No. England? Nope!

It all happened in the United States. Why?

Because we'll buy anything!

And we also make at least 75% of all the good stuff in the world. Movies you want to see, cars you want to drive, booze you want to drink and other stupid crap you really shouldn't buy in the first place. But there it is.

We don't need YOUR stupid crap, we've got enough of our own.

But the rest of the world is catching up to mindless consumerism. They've developed a taste for Crown Royal, Jack Daniels and wines of Napa Valley. Bejing Bourbon just doesn't quite make it compared to the real deal from Kentucky. So if the price goes up, they're just going to pay it.

The corn produced in Iowa is a superior product. The U.S. is the world's leading producer. And it's a staple. You need corn, you need corn so you'll pay the higher price. That's just the way it is.

It's all passed along to the consumer. Yes, during a trade war the consumer loses.

But the United States will not.

2nd GOP Senator Suddenly Grows Backbone

Jeff Flake has magically re-discovered his gift of oratory. He has finally come to the fore and let his passion flow for a cause he has finally found worth taking a stand for: Bashing a Republican President.

As Senator Flake took the floor to announce that he wasn't going to run for re-election, his love for country finally blossomed and his hackles were only now raised by what he sees as the single-most danger to these United States in it's modern history: President Donald J. Trump.

Now if only he had done that during the previous administration. If only Senator Flake had found his guts and his voice against the supreme derisiveness of the last Democrat President's 8 year tenure. Perhaps if he demonstrated some kind of consistency to his moral outrage he would be remotely believable.

But apparently Senator Flake was fine with what went on the last 8 years. No division there. Nothing to work his passion up about then or compelling enough to make a speech about.

Of course, back then they were all on the same side.

If only that was the side of the American taxpaying public.

Does anyone remember the last time we heard from Senator Flake? When was the FIRST time we've heard from Senator Flake? Just now. This is the first time I've ever heard a peep out of him.

No, Mr. Flake was just another invisible ghost of a GOP Senator over the last 8 long long years of "What's His Name's" contentious and divisive presidency.  It is only now that Senator Flake has managed to find his "Voice For the People".

Those people being the Establishment GOP.

Don't make a mistake here. It's not YOU he's speaking for. It's YOU he's preaching to!

How dare you elect a non-member of the political elite! YOU don't know what you're doing. Govern yourselves? Don't be stupid.

Here's another "Republican" who would rather have seen Hillary Clinton become president before Donald Trump.

How odd is this? How twisted can a man be to stand up there and call this President divisive having sat silent for 8 God-damned years under Socialist Democrat rule? Mr. Flake sat on his FUCKING hands all the while the Democrats intervened, regulated, listened in, black-balled, taxed and ruled with a pen and a phone.

"No problems there." says Senator Flake. He was on-board with that. If he wasn't then he could have made a stand like the one he just displayed. But he never did. No filibusterers from Mr. Flake ah la Rand Paul. No nothing.

This man has FAILED the people who voted for him. He has FAILED the country by sitting silent and again by suddenly finding he is now offended by such division. Is Mr. Flake for real?

No, no he isn't. It's all a con. Another con by a seasoned con artist.

Here's another one to whom I would say to his face if I could...

"Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out!"

Loser.

Big Business Loses on Climate Gamble

Just imagine the heaping wads of money these big multi-national companies must have stood to gain from the implementation of the Paris Accord. Just a run down of the giant corporations with their hands in every pie that were really, really for this Paris Accord: Tim Cook of Apple, Darren Woods of Exxon/Mobile, Facebook Authoritarian Mark Zuckerberg, and perhaps the biggest beneficiary of public funds in the world, Elon Musk. Also those bastions of free speech the New York Times an The Wall Street Journal have come out for this phony-baloney "Pact". 

If that doesn't convince you President Trump did the right thing, then nothing will. 


Why are these high and mighty shysters out there embarrassing themselves? Nobody really believes that we have anything to do with the Earth's climate, least of all them. They don't believe it either! They're only in it for the money. Also none of the reported One Million other countries that signed this empty agreement believe it either since not one of them have even come close to the marks set down for them in it. So what could the real motivation be, hmmmm? 

My favorite quote must be that idiot Musk's when he says "Climate Change is real!" Ha ha, what a moron. That's right up there with crazy-like-a-fox Al Gore's "The planet has a fever!". 

And go ahead Mr. Musk, quit the White House Business Council. If the government wasn't subsidizing your "business" you wouldn't be on a committee anyway. You'd have no business and nobody would have ever heard of you. 

But one thing should be very clear from all this emotional bleating and gnashing of teeth: All these moneyed egomaniacs think that YOU are plenty stupid. 

And why wouldn't they? You've bought into their shtick for so long they think the Sun shines out of their behinds. 

So how much of a benefit to the long suffering small businesses across these United States would all the Carbon Swaps,Tax Breaks and outright Subsidies these global big businesses had built into this climate deal for either developing, producing or consuming "clean" energy? You know that these "incentives" must surely have been written into this massive International Ponzi Scheme. Otherwise why would they get involved in the first place?

Just an accounting of the people and corporations that were staunchly for this agreement should be enough to make a bell go off in most reasonable people's heads. Ask yourself; "What can Exxon/Mobile possibly gain from such as deal?" 

Oh, I'll bet there are plenty of incentives in there to soften the blow for them! 

And who gets to pay for all this? Why it's us, the U.S. taxpayer, of course and what remains of small business in this country that already can't handle the regulations and taxation it's already groaning under. We get to pay for it and revel in the .00001 degree drop in global temperature that they surely will find happening.

"The sacrifice will be well worth it." says Elon Musk as he hops into his private jet and heads off to the Caribbean to join Al and Tipper Gore for a little rest & relaxation as a reward for saving the planet. 

And now that Mr. Trump and the United States has left Europe to themselves, let Angela Merkel, she of the open borders and state support of indigent invaders and Emmanuel Macron, he of the steely handshake and strong warnings to other world leaders, start to worry about their own issues in their own countries since it's easy to see that they've got more important problems to contemplate right now bigger than figuring out how to change the weather. Unless they're just looking for a distraction. 

And Mr. Obama, how can we miss you if you won't go away?  

The Paris Accord was obviously a big swindle by the Globalists and President Trump did just what we put him into office to do. 

Good job!

Government Scientists March for Government Science

There was a march in Washington, DC, the Boston Common and other places around the nation to declare freedom for science. But how free can science be if the government is funding it?

The claim is that they are marching to prevent government interference in science but it’s really that the NEW government does not wish to continue funding this particular propaganda cycle of Global Climate Warming Change since, after 30 years of this bullshit, people still aren’t buying the fear.

This accusation of “increasing attacks on science” is really just an attempt by the government owned science community to remain on the public gravy train and to once again proclaim that they are anything but props in the government political machine of the last administration.

“It’s not about the current administration,” said co-organizer and PUBLIC health researcher Caroline Weinberg. “The truth is we should have been marching for science 30 years ago, 20 years, 10 years ago…The current situation took us from kind of ignoring science to blatantly attacking it.”

But it IS, indeed, about the current administration because the “scientific community” has said nothing over the last 30 years since their message was the government’s message. What did science matter then? They were both on the same page and what a lucrative page it has been!

But now, the government, is not.

Oh, it was a good living for all these educated “science guys”, the ones who would roll out studies every other year of how: coffee is good for you,/coffee is bad for you/coffee is good for you, butter is bad for you/butter is good for you, cholesterol is killing you/cholesterol isn’t killing you.  All important stuff to our daily lives as if anyone ever had given up coffee based on such ground breaking scientific research. And on the other hand we hear not a word about all the crap producers are putting into the food. 

And clearly the biggest money maker out of all this science has been: The world is getting warmer, and warmer, and warmer, global warming is man-made, global warming is now climate change and it’s a global crisis, that it is almost too late and we’re almost at the tipping point if we don’t do something NOW about it so run, run out into the street and shout to the world that this must be stopped as if any government, in their modern and established pomposity and egotism, can do ANYTHING to change the weather. 

Just ask China how that's going.

The United States government, like I’m sure many First World countries, pays very well for research, especially research that supports the particular agendas of these administrations. What are all the so called “Climate Scientists” going to do now? 

They may have to “choke”, get a real job!

There is no mandate in the United States Constitution that the federal government HAS to fund scientific research. There is no law behind this taxpayer funded entitlement. The government funds scientific research for many purposes and one cannot escape that some of this funding is for political purposes. Funding a “scientific project” at a college in a Senator’s district was always a reward for good behavior and a plum and having a “scientific finding” to counter a detractor’s research to muddy the waters is also a helpful thing to have. 

We see this with the Climate Cabal where past respected organizations like NASA and NOAA confirm as fact mere conjecture put out for political motives.

If it wasn’t for the political activism and yes, the religious fanaticism of these scientists on "what to do" about the weather, the public would not have lost faith in what they say in the first place.

The partisan actions of these propagandists have been repeatedly exposed in their efforts to fudge the climate numbers that abet the global effort by their government benefactors to grab an even bigger slice of the private sector revenue, to take an even bigger role in the determination of the means of production and as a result rob the working class of even more resources thus rendering us all less and less free. 

These same “scientists” would not shed a tear over the loss of our freedom of self-determination. They only cry now over the loss of their role in the efforts to control the narrative. Oh, and they'll miss the money!

Without their credibility, these "learned men and women" are useless and in reality when the government REALLY wants something they can use, they just BUY it from a private party.

Although the government did fund the development of computers at certain stages, they weren’t invented in government funded facilities. Neither was the stage rocket, the gasoline engine, electricity, the electric light bulb, direct or alternating current, the electric engine, the airplane or any other useful item to the government. They waited until an entrepreneurial spirit invented it and then they BOUGHT it.

In other words, they relied on a Free Market system of product development because back in those days they actually felt they had a limited amount of money and were still careful about how much paper money they printed. There may have even been a feeling of responsibility to the public trust but the Lord only knows when that disappeared or if it ever existed.

It is time to get these educated welfare recipients and government yes men/women off of the public pay rolls and the sooner the better. They should actually have to go out and earn a living in the private sector for a change.

If they can.

Trump Moves to Derail Assad Victory

United States under President Donald Trump has now intervened in the Syrian conflict based on an elaborate and fiercely promoted fabrication and has stated that there is now a coalition forming to again attempt to dislodge President/Dictator Bashar al Assad from his leadership at a time where it seems final victory in Syria's long civil war was within his grasp.

How convenient.

It’s all so hard to disprove a reported incident like this when it happens on the other side of the world in a land where life is cheap, prospects grim, the resources rich, the politics cutthroat and the wars...endless.

The “He’s just a crazy dictator” excuse doesn't fly concerning why Mr. Assad, with his enemies on the run and just a year or so away from certain and inevitable victory, would suddenly decide to use Sarin gas on a superficial target. What purpose would such a move serve him?  

Well of course such a thing wouldn’t serve Assad at all BUT it certainly would serve the Western nations so that they can jump back into the conflict to prevent Assad’s march to re-acquire control of the country. 

What a setup!

Think about it. Assad finally triumphs in his civil war and is in control of the country. Russia once again has a firm grip on their Mediterranean port and the threat of being pushed out of the region will cease and any new efforts or circumstances to pry Russia off the Mediterranean and Syria's government from its oil resources will take decades to manifest.

Well, that can't be allowed to happen!

What is it about U.S. Presidents that when they get their hands on control of our military that they just can't keep their finger off the button? Like Obama's love of drones or Rahm Emanuel asking "Who did we get today?" when he would walk into the office. It becomes a game to these people.

I'm supremely disappointed that President Trump has used the U.S. Military for such a spurious "reason". I'm appalled actually at this grave misstep and now all the war mongers are praising him as one of their own. 

And he now indeed belongs to them. 

Russia is now been put on alert alright but they aren't going to cut and run from the country. And the last time I checked...We're Still Broke! We've got no tax cuts, no ObamaCare repeal and so what do we do now? Why drop bombs on Syria of course! 

What could possibly go wrong? 

How about being seen as helping out radical jihadists who vow to establish a Islamist Caliphate based on Sharia law in Syria? Sleep tight Mr. Netanyahu! 

We just dropped, literally, $94,400,000.00 on our "warning" shot! That money could've gone to far better use and unfortunately it's not like it's going to be the last time Mr. Trump is going to piss away taxpayer money "for the little babies!" that the U.S. citizenry hasn't earned yet as he flexes his new found might. What a loss this is. 

And all I really wanted was a tax cut and better health care. 

An agent or nation that would greatly benefit from U.S. intervention pulled this stunt and to find the people who benefit is to find the people who did it. Or a more likely scenario is that they ALL were in on it to some extent since there are so many with motive to snatch the victory from Assad's hands either for spite, for gold or for mere conquest.

It's just all too neat and tidy for me not to smell a rat in all this. But Trump has made his move so willingly or unwillingly we are all going along for the ride and regardless of his true motivation or whether the United States can afford entering yet another costly conflict we have no business being in, here we are again.

How great is that?

Trump Attacks the Freedom Caucus

During the 2016 Presidential campaign I was repeatedly asked by my disbelieving friends about my unwavering support for Donald Trump, a man whom I had gone to see speak in person on two occasions and for whom I voted in the general election.They would repeatedly inquire: 

“Is there anything that Mr. Trump can do to make you not support him?"

“Nope, none that I can think of.”

“Is there anything he could say that would put you off?"

“Nope”, I would blithely state with true conviction.

“Is there any action he could take that could possibly make you waver?” They would ask.

“Not a chance!” I emphatically state.

So now what happens?

“Hey Wal Man, Donald Trump just said that he is going after the Freedom Caucus!”

“He WHAT!?”

Yeah, that would do it. Donald Trump just put the Republicans in the Freedom Caucus on the same political level as the Democratic Party. Can you beat that?

Saved from American Healthcare Act

If it wasn’t for the Freedom Caucus, a group of 32 fiscally and morally conservative Republican lawmakers from across the nation, the United States citizenry would have had to deal with yet another failed piece of legislation: The American Healthcare Act that President Trump and his new establishment GOP ally Speaker of the House Paul Ryan had tried to dress up and call “Fillet Mignon”. But the American people, the Freedom Caucus membership AND other Republican legislators knew it was the same old “Government Cheese”.

It was the Freedom Caucus that had actually saved Trump from looking bad by not allowing them to pass that Turd.

But this is obviously not how the President is looking at the situation. 

So Where’s the Art of the Deal?

So instead of listening to the Freedom Caucus’ concerns or recognizing their input and that of other Tea Party Republican’s like Libertarian Rand Paul, Mr. Trump and Mr. Ryan take a stand-offish pose and do a “My Way or the Highway” ultimatum. And it backfired.

So what’s the new plan? There isn’t a new plan. Mr.’s Trump and Ryan are going to bring the old failed plan back and instead of negotiating new legislation, they’d rather threaten the people who opposed it instead. Good idea.

Trumps New Allies…the Democrats?

So now President Trump is proposing to reach across the aisle to the Democrats to craft Healthcare Legislation rather than work with members of his own party.

This can't be happening. 

Trump Finds Strange Bedfellow

Donald Trump has taken a step toward the GOP establishment with his decision to side with Paul Ryan. It does not look to be a winning combination and I’d be surprised if it is a lasting relationship. Mr. Ryan ran for the house Speakership with the majority consent of the Freedom Caucus. Can he win friends by now opposing them? Not bloody likely.

Election 2018

Is the President really going to campaign against his own party come 2018? While some of the Freedom Caucus could be vulnerable, I don’t think a majority of them are going anywhere. Especially if their constituency feels they are under fire from a president, quite frankly, many of them weren’t too thrilled about in the first place. They didn’t all love Mr. Trump, they just hated Hillary Clinton more. 

Much, much more.

Can you see Donald Trump perhaps flying into Texas to oppose Randy Weber, who now holds the retired and much admired Ron Paul's seat? How’s that for optics.

Conclusion

Hopefully this gets walked back sooner than later and that Mr. Trump decides to incorporate more “Freedom” into the American Healthcare Act if it’s going to be brought back up for a vote. I’d rather see no legislation at all and have American healthcare become a market force rather than have it remain a government force. The state of healthcare is as it is because of government interference in the marketplace and nobody should have any illusions about this after the last 8 years of rising costs, shortages and hardships for those who pay and freebie give-a-ways for those who don’t.

If the President and his Republican majority are going to accomplish anything, they had better start bringing everyone to the table rather than thinking they can just punch any bit of legislation through Congress. The Freedom Caucus has the support of a great many American voters and many Conservative and Tea Party Republicans look to them in the hopes that they will continue to have their views represented and have a voice in our government. It is THEY who got Mr. Trump elected. 

For Donald Trump to call them out after the legislative blunder he almost committed is, in what should best be described in his own words: “Huge Mistake.”

Huge. 

The Media IS the Enemy of the People!

And it always has been. The difference now is that we know it too.

By conspiring to keep the American public in the dark about the collusion and subterfuge by government organizations on the manufactured issue of Global Climate Warming Change, by looking the other way when illegal immigrants kill American citizens in their homes and on our road ways, by purposely manufacturing crisis at home and abroad to keep you in ignorance and fear, the National Media has done the American Public, the people they are supposed to serve, no service at all. 

Back in the days of 3 television channels, The National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) The Columbia Broadcasting System, (CBS) and the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) had a lock on information and they all put out the same “news”.

Back then, the planet was cooling. Yes, getting colder, the future showed that the Earth would be a block of ice, and we worried about it. Back then the government was run by the Good Guys. And these good guys defended the United States from the people we were told were BAD PEOPLE. Countries like China, Russia and Cuba. They were BAD. That's what were were told and are STILL being told. No agenda to follow there, these people were just not LIKE US.

We had guys like Dwight D. Eisenhower saying that we HAD to call off the free and agreed upon elections in Vietnam and instead invade so that the world could have their Tungsten. That’s right, Tungsten. The media was alright with that in the beginning. It took over a decade to change their minds about it. 

The big 3 and the government controlled the narrative and you got what they wanted you to get.

And the media today was alright with Affordable Care Act even though any clear thinking person could see what it was going to do to the economy and here they sat by for 8 years and watched it turn to shit. Not a peep out of the National Leftist Media except an occasional question to the last president, “What’s his name,” about his fucking golf game.

This is what they did not do for you the American People. No “News” outlet sent a camera around to these small towns to see the empty store fronts, the closed factories or the idle people on the dole.

They did NOTHING but glad-talk everything.

Some Past Examples

Remember in 2012 when NBC edited the 911 call that George Zimmerman made to police before he killed Travon Martin in a fight to make him look like he killed the man-child in cold blood? Remember that it was CNN that repeatedly referred to Mr. Zimmerman as a "White Hispanic"?

Who was served by that? Not you and not me.

Or back in 1993 when NBC had to admit that it rigged a Chevy Truck to blow up to "prove" that they were unstable in a crash and prone to explosion. The only problem was they couldn't get the truck to explode! So they had to help it along a bit.

It's because, as former CBS "reporter" Dan Rather said back in 2004 when he got caught peddling a phony story about then President G.W. Bush's military record " The story is true, it's the documents that are fake!" But there is a good reason for that; to the Political Left...

Facts don't matter!  

It wasn't Donald Trump who hurt the National Media's credibility, the reason nobody believes a word out of their mouths is their own doing. The truth would stick in their throats if they ever had the nerve to try to tell it. But they won't try because they can't.

NOT the Free Press

They are not the Free Press, they are the Bought and Paid For Press. Big difference. 

For years they've looked the other way while the moneyed elite made their deals. They went to the parties the bomb-makers threw and the laughed the laugh of people who didn't have to worry about their next paycheck because the were the king-makers, Media Made Men.   

So for far too long we got: "And that's the news. Now shut-up and sit down!"

Enter the Internet!

But now the Internet has changed all that. You don’t need the government to give you the news. You don’t have to listen to or even believe the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to tell you the temperature or a God-Damned Government Agency (GDGA) to tell you that trading Carbon Credits isn’t a fucking swindle or that the government isn’t in bed with the big corporations to keep low wage workers piling into this country so YOU won’t have a pot to piss in.

You don’t have to believe what the Government Media is telling you because what their telling you isn’t true you stupid sheep! Wikileaks has only proven what we all had long expected: That your government was not only lying to you but spying on you intensely to boot! 

So why would you listen when NBC, Reuters, CBS, ABC, CNN or ANY of these bought-and-paid-for PROSTITUTES say that President Trump’s 4 week old administration is in Turmoil? Why would you believe Russian's hacked the election? Why would you believe ANYTHING these people have to say? And just because they continue to have a forum to put their swill out on the airwaves every day over and over even though they themselves know it’s a lie and their doing it for only ONE purpose.

And that’s to keep YOU stupid, in the dark, under-employed, over-taxed, under-educated and out of the fucking American Dream while they and their LORDS hand the wealth of this nation to OTHERS!

So why are you still giving them the time of day? Someone lies to me once and I know it, there isn’t another thing I’m going to believe. Am I alone in this world?

I think not!

Our Media system is broken. Their only real function is supposed to report the truth but they do not. 

They Leftist Media has been caught out as liars and liars they'll be until they stop. 

They have not only let the American people down but have maliciously deceived us time and again. This is reprehensible conduct but now we know it. 

We're onto them.  

ObamaCare Has To Go…Now!

The U.S. economy is never going to get better until the Affordable Care Act is repealed in total.

What do we replace it with?

Replace it with nothing. 

The less that government is involved with healthcare, the better.  Just look at what a wonderful job the government has done since it got involved in the American school system.

Scrap ObamaCare. The longer it is allowed to linger the worse off everyone will be.

The Affordable Care Act is the single biggest economic blunder that has blown a hole in our often touted but yet unverified “Economic Recovery” of the last EIGHT YEARS! That is not economic recovery that is stagnation. For eight years, despite the forged jobs numbers, the glad-talk and the media propaganda, we have had miserable growth. People are working two part-time jobs, contract jobs or not working and flat small business growth all because the cost of insuring people in the workforce has grown so high that companies have balked at hiring. ObamaCare has made people too expensive and as a result fueled the growth of automation.

It also shows in the actions of large U.S. employers who can just get workers from India under H-1B visas and pay them minimum wage. Or use Indian and Mexican companies as outsourced call centers and pay them even less than that. 

And of course, they don’t have to pay for their healthcare.

In 2012 my co-pay, the payment I made to see my regular doctor, was $15.00 a visit. I could see, say, a cardiologist for the same payment.  My deductible, the yearly out-of-pocket medical expenses I was responsible to pay before the insurance company started covering was $500.00 for the year.

As of 2016 my co-pay is $25.00 for my regular doctor, $45.00 for the Cardiologist who is now a “Specialist” and my deductible is now $1500.00 out-of-pocket.

My employer will pay 582.71 per month for this year’s coverage or $6,992.52 in total.

This is for a single person. The family plan is double this expense.

That's a lot of money.

This is what has happened in 5 years under ObamaCare. What will the next five years bring? 

Chaos.

It is a downward spiral of less money, less resources, more work for those employed and no future for those who aren’t. Less money to spend to keep the economy going because it’s all getting sucked up into these Free Lunch medical services for “The Poor”.

There is no fixing this plan. It must be scrapped and the sooner the better for all involved. It will not get better, it can only get worse and all the protesting in the world isn’t going to change the reality of the fact that there just isn’t enough money in the world to make Socialized Medicine work. It never has. It’s failing every place it’s been tried. Canada? Failing. Britain? Failing. Cuba? Ha, you’re kidding me, right?

Things weren’t perfect before Obama injected yet more government involvement in the medical industry so government should not add anything more.

Market forces will return with freedom of choice. Let people buy their healthcare from outside sources and across state lines. Let people only pay for the services they need instead of forcing them to carry useless services they won’t be using and make sure the people who are paying nothing, pay SOMETHING. Otherwise they won’t respect the system.

Health Insurance should be something I can carry with me instead of with my employer. This kind of market mobility will allow more people to be in business for themselves.

But the cheapest way for people to afford their healthcare is for government to get out of the healthcare business. Government only adds bureaucratic overhead and runs deficits. Neither of these forces is conducive to affordable ANYTHING.

The GOP has to grow a backbone and perform some tough-love for the victims of the New Slave Culture, the culture that craves their government give-a-ways and will fight in the streets to keep them.

Like it’s their right to destroy the economy.

Trump Juggernaut Steamrolls Sanctuary Cities

As President Trump would say; “Such a good idea. Such a good idea, folks.”

Entering the country illegally doesn't make you a citizen any more than breaking into a house makes you a part of the family. 

There should be no Federal reward for defying the law. Especially some as important as Immigration Law. It's not like we're talking about banning weed. This is the stuff that causes nations to tumble. 

To drive home the type of mentality we're dealing with in these liberal states, Massachusetts State Attorney General and failed Gubernatorial candidate once said; “It’s technically not illegal to be illegal in Massachusetts.’

This is what we're dealing with. 

  

These Liberal Mayoral syndicates running these illegal Safe Harbors like to refer to the United States as a "Nation of Immigrants" and we are but not everyone coming into the country is an immigrant as defined by law. 

Some immigrants, like my Great Grand Parents, came over legally. The Irish were invited by industrialists of the day to come to America with the full blessing of the Federal Government. A process was put into play to receive them all at Ellis Island. People came and were processed into the nation. This included delousing and vaccination shots. 

That was the process and that was LEGAL.

But what is happening is certainly not legal and it’s not right. Neither is it right to use taxpayer dollars in the support of illegal immigration. There’s no future in a nation doing such things and everyone knows.

The Political Left likes to draw the bizarre parallel that the illegal alien situation is akin to the old Boston Abolitionist movement prior to the last Civil War. They are sheltering these illegals from the big bad Federal Government that who wishes to send them back to their impoverished underdeveloped nations.

Well, yeah, that’s the idea. They’re here illegally and they’re breaking the law. And it is the lax enforcement of our immigration laws that has been pissing off U.S. Citizens, naturalized and indigenous alike, for well over a decade. They’re jumping the line and causing big problems socially and economically. 

That's what the LAST president, What's His Name, allowed. 

Limousine-Liberal Do-Gooders don’t give a flying shit about people coming into the country legally and playing by the rules. That’s just the wrong kind of immigrant to them. Just like the rest of us tax-paying, law abiding citizens over the last 8 years, they don’t count.

We see this Leftist Myopia all the time in their bizarre acceptance of the subjugation of women by Saudi Arabia, the dismissal of success by the “wrong black people” like Justice Clarence Thomas and former Florida Congressman Allen West and ignoring the historical achievements of the “wrong women” like Trump Campaign Manager Kelly Anne Conway and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

They’re just not the role models the Left can leverage. 

Breaking Federal Law doesn't give cities the right to receive taxpayer dollars to support illegal aliens with perks ranging from free rent, free healthcare and free college tuition. These city mayors can still skirt the law but they will have to get the money from somewhere else. 

That somewhere else, btw, is going to be from local taxpayers. Lets just see how happy they'll be with the added cost of their "Compassion". 

President Trump has every right to pull Federal funding from these self-declared Sanctuary Cities and they know it better than anyone. 

This move and the move to pull funding from overseas abortion providers is the start of the dismantling of the Federal Gravy Train on many levels and saving taxpayer cash as a result.

There are better things to do with the money.
