McCain Stops Criticizing President Trump



He never met a war he didn't like.

He was complacent and entitled.

He was gripped by ego, jealously and spite.

And more than all that, he was angry and bitter. Especially at the end.

The Buddhists would say that anger and bitterness are not emotions one wants to carry into the next life. John McCain is carrying a heavy heavy load into the Summerlands for sure.

I will forever remember John McCain as a man who put his own sense of importance above those of the American people. He didn't care who would be hurt, it was all about him and his pain. He could never put his own interests aside for the good of the country. 

When he lost his bid for president, he blamed his vice presidential nominee and when it came time to cast the deciding vote to abolish the monstrously misguided Affordable Care Act, he voted to keep it. Not because he believed it was good but because the President and the people who voted him into office, an office he could not attain, knew it was bad.

All because he HATED them.

Let us hope that he finds in his next life the peace that eluded him in this one.

The Left Continues to Hound President Trump 

The Leftist Media with their Progressive enablers have continued their offensive of manufacture and outrage at his every sentence and pronouncement regardless of the outward hypocrisy.

But it's not going to work.

Everybody knows its bullshit.

All this will succeed in doing is destabilizing the country. But the Left does not care. The ends justify the means. Facts don't matter, evidence does not matter, what the public feels does not matter. Russian collusion was never the real focus. It was all a Red Herring.

This whole thing was always about "Get Trump" and if they couldn't, let this display serve as a warning to anyone else who even THINKS they want to run for president as a Republican because you better have Big Balls in order to put up with the unheard of onslaught of hate and vitriol spewed from every orifice of the outraged entitled political Leftists in this country because this is what will happen to you too!

What matters is what THEY feel. THEY will show YOU why you were wrong in electing Donald Trump president of the United States. THEY will take over and SHOW you how THEY could have done it all better.

But they really don't know how.

I know Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

And who doesn't really? She is just another Know-Nothing Socialist who will promise you, the American "Down-trodden", the equality and "rights" you seek but has no working knowledge of how to actually reach this objective. She doesn't understand economics but she knows she doesn't have to. She is an ambitious revolutionary and all revolutionaries have to know is how to seize power. After that, the rest is gravy.

She may succeed in grabbing power but once in her hands, she will totally blow up and everyone around her will too. And she knows how weak the substance of her ideas are, hence she won't debate anybody who questions them. She can't be bothered since it's not what she's come for. She's in it for the power and she will say anything, promise everything, for a chance at it.

This is why she's already been caught out by claiming to support New York cab drivers but who uses Uber to get around NYC instead. Now that's support you can trust!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is just another in a long line of tin-pot socialist hypocrite dictators-in-waiting from a socialist borough in socialist New York City, a city that spends so much on entitlements that people literally move there from all over the country just to get on public assistance.

Good luck to her, lets see how far she gets.

Elizabeth Warren's New Plan

Siding with illegal aliens in the wake of the Mollie Tibbetts murder was probably not the best career move for the clueless Massachusetts Senator but it's her nationalization of all businesses that make $1 Billion annually that is a real non-starter. Once a business breaks the proposed threshold, the US Federal Government would then dictate who sits on their Board of Directors! Can you believe this?

But is she really proposing such an absurd piece of legislation in order to move to the political Left of Bernie Sanders in order to make a presidential run of her own in 2020?

We'll see how her act plays on the national stage. It is my guess that the only thing anyone will be asking the Massachusetts Senator during a mythical campaign would be: "Are you really an American Indian?".

Blaming Capitalism

Capitalism is not a government. It is not an Army. Capitalism is not a Decree or Invention.

It is a Force of Nature.

It cannot be stopped, ultimately, by any government. All Socialist nations return to a market economy eventually and the only delay is that Socialist and Communist countries have to deploy people with guns to keep people from practicing what comes natural to every human being at birth; "Working to better themselves.".

No matter who you are or where in the world you live, we all want the same things: we want food and shelter, we want meaningful work so we can gain food and shelter, we want to keep our families protected and our children warm. We want to be free from harm and free to pursue a direction in life we can choose for ourselves.

Capitalism, that force of nature that people, millions of people, making personal decisions about what to do with the money they earn, makes the world go around. You stop this and the world stops.

South Africa Decides to Kill Their Economy

Another wise choice by the people of Africa who have no idea what a Democracy actually is. And this latest move will put them closer to finding out just how far from a Democracy they are.

Nobody wants to invest in a murderous Dictator. South Africa's government has fostered violence against the white farmers and seeks a "Blame Whitey" agenda for their lack of policy and wanton graft in the 24 years since they've held the reins of the government.

Here's a wild guess. If you are a poor black subsistence farmer in South Africa now, you will be a poor black subsistence farmer five years from now after the land grab. I'll bet money.

The American Leftist Press seems to be totally ok about South Africa's land grab since they helped the South African government defend their land "appropriation without compensation' against a tweet by President Trump. The irony here is that Cuba did the same thing back in 1956 to American businesses there and we've had an economic embargo on that country ever since.

Let's hope that time will not stop for South Africa like it has for Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Vietnam, and Mexico. All countries caught in a time-warp of lack of advancement.

And enlightenment.

Cuba Vows to Remain Impoverished


With the appointment of new supreme leader Miguel Diaz-Canal by the unelected Cuban National Assembly this week the last last gasp of the second longest reigning Communist nation can be heard.

Comrade Diaz-Canal, described lovingly in the Huffington Post article I read as "A consensus builder" and as "an approachable, efficient manager".  As if anyone is going to disagree with this new Cuban "President" when he is predictably "elected" during a national election. I believe we won't need to send former U.S. President Jimmy Carter over to the island to see if the vote is legitimate or not.

And as if any Socialist system is efficient. Because we know from mountains of history that it isn't and can't be. There is no efficiency in having nothing. I suppose you don't have much trash in such a situation since if you have nothing, you also have nothing to waste.

Cuba has nothing to waste most certainly.

And it looks like that trend will continue. The decorative reforms that have been carefully marketed to the rest of the world and lovingly trumpeted by the left-leaning media have amounted to nothing at all since, heaven forbid, anybody gets anything for their efforts. That just wouldn't be sporting. Gain is only for the Dictatorship, nobody else ever gets too much.

I heard on the radio that el Presedente elect Diaz-Canal will exert his efforts on "Perfecting Communism". Stop me if you've heard that one before. All the American Socialists have been saying that for decades now. "Just wait, one of these days we'll get it right, you'll see!" they declare but they never do. They can't. It's not possible with the State calling all the shots. We have a Stock Market in this country that's built on people investing their own money into products and enterprises they think will bring them a handsome return on their investment and there are loads and loads of very smart people who have gone bust thinking they knew what direction the Market was going. So how the hell is a bunch of indoctrinated revolutionaries going to figure it out?

Answer:They haven't and they won't!

Year after dreadful year the Cuban central planners have made the decision of where best to put the country's resources, what crops to grow and what products to produce. And they haven't even accidentally got it right. All those 1956 Chevrolet automobiles the Cuban people are still driving around in aren't going to get an upgrade any time soon.

Cuba has no infrastructure, no shining buildings of glass and steel and now even the old city buildings, built by a more advanced civilization now gone and with no one of knowledge or resources left to maintain them, are collapsing and burying their unfortunate inhabitants in the ruble of their past glory.

Cuba has a whole lot of nothing and the people who have the least know the most about what it would take to bring prosperity to this nation of pure Want. They don't believe anything will change with the continuation of Fidel Castro's "Plenty of Nothing for You" brand of government. They don't expect anything and to a world watching from the outside, it's a shame that they won't be pleasantly surprised. They won't EVER be pleasantly surprised. Not as long as these Commies run the place.

"We don't need no stinkin' Capitalism" declares the soon-to-be elected Cuban President, "We'll show everybody how much the Cuban people can suffer! You think people suffered under 74 years of Russian Communism? Just wait, we'll beat that and then some!"

Don't expect too much applause.

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.

President Obama Endorses Donald Trump!


What could be a bigger, more ringing endorsement of your candidate than to have the worst President to ever wear the mantle to say that he isn’t “Qualified”?

There isn’t one. Obama has told the world that Donald Trump is not fit for the presidency and he should know since he is the most unfit person to ever hold the office. Move over Jimmy Carter, move over Dwight D., stand aside Mr. Nixon, a new king has been crowned: Barack Obama.

The Anarchist-in-Chief has done everything he can to destroy the United States. He’s ordered a stop to border enforcement, allowing untold millions into the country without knowing their intent or their health. Diseases that have thought to be eradicated in the U.S. are roaring back and disruptions along the border and U.S. deaths and the hands of the invaders is continuing to rise. 

So if President Obama thinks Donald Trump isn’t the man for the job…HE’s the Man for the Job!

Just how Mr. Obama has become so delusional as to think that ANYBODY in the world would believe a word he says about anything is a wonder in itself. After all this Bastard has done to us?

The President has ravaged the U.S. economy by killing off the nation’s largest employer: Small Business, with increased regulation and taxation. Empty store fronts dot every town and city center across the country. The homeless are rampant but you won’t hear much about them unless Mr. Trump is elected president, THEN it will be the biggest problem facing our nation so will say the Government Press.

So if Obama says I shouldn’t vote for this guy, I really should vote for this guy!

Nothing President Obama has done has actually helped the United States. His Affordable Care Act has driven costs up and hospitals out of business. States are groaning under the regulation and shortages the president’s plan has brought. His backing of Green Energy companies with taxpayer dollars has left a wake of bankruptcies and blown Millions of dollars without a penny in return in a failed effort to pick winners and losers in the Marketplace.

The only private business Obama has every helped with his policies is the firearms industry. And that was unintended. 

But if we would only listen to HIM, He, Mr. Obama,  will tell us who we should vote for and it’s NOT Donald Trump. According to the President, Mr. Trump is the LEAST qualified person for the office.

On the other hand, Mr. Obama says that Hillary Clinton is the MOST qualified person for the office.

We get it. What Mr. Obama is REALLY saying subliminally is that Trump should be president or the world is going to go to shit under Hillary Clinton.

And what shit it will turn into under Hillary. All she’s got is the same banal proposals that didn’t work the last 20 times they were tried.

Hillary’s Jobs Bill vs Trump's Plan

You want a job? You won’t be getting one under Hillary Clinton’s plan. You’ll get a government check and a training program but, you know, the country is at least $19 Trillion in the hole so more government spending will not produce a single job since the money will be taxpayer money. That's all they have. The government will either have to print it or tax more for it. It is more likely, if you should have a job, that you will lose that too.  

This is the same Stimulus Plan that President Obama trotted out in 2010 to the tune of $800 Billion dollars that only went to the states public unions to prop up his voter base and didn't create a thing but more debt. 

Trump knows the way to get real jobs going is to cut taxes. More money in your pocket, you spend it, you buy things you need or want, business grows. The more of your money you get to keep, the more money YOU get to spend. The choices you make are infinitely better than the choices the Government has been making with it ie: overthrowing Libya, dropping Billions of dollars in weapons into Iraq, bribing Iranian officials,etc. This is a foreign concept to people like Obama, Sanders and Clinton.  

Ironically, this is what President Kennedy did when he took office. He cut the corporate tax rate that was restricting business under the Eisenhower administration and the economy picked up quickly afterwards and did not stumble along for 8 long, long years like they are now.

Nowadays Mr. Kennedy would be considered a Conservative Republican. But the big difference between President Kennedy and President Obama is that Kennedy actually CARED about the United States
.
And now, after all this time, you can make a better choice than Barak Obama. Mr. Obama hasn’t managed to make a good choice yet when it comes to keeping the United States safe or solvent so all you have to do is make ONE good choice and you are ahead of the man.

Mr. Obama says that Donald Trump is the WRONG guy for the job. The President says that Donald Trump is UNFIT to hold the office of the Presidency.

Mr. Obama has held the office of the Presidency for 8 of the longest years of my lifetime and for many others; people working two part-time jobs with no benefits and without the hope of getting put on full-time, people who are not going to the doctor because their out-of-pocket expenses are too high, our many uncounted unemployed and people going to work, busting their ass and then having to stand in line behind healthy people with EBT cards at the supermarket.

What does Mr. Obama have to say to these people?

“Don’t vote for Trump, he doesn’t know what he’s doing.”

And we know what you’re doing Mr. President.

And it's time we put an end to it. 

Trump 2016!

Pope Francis Prostitutes Himself for Climate Commies


Was he, as an unknown and aspiring priest in Argentina, Jorge Bergoglio, really studying Meteorology instead of Theology back in the Seminary?  And now, as Pope Francis, has he sequestered himself in his humble chambers pouring over climate charts until late in the evening, studying ancient texts and aquiring all the climate data he can from the last century and beyond? Because if he wasn’t, then what the FUCK does The Pope know about Climate Change?

The answer, of course, is NOTHING. The Pope only knows what other people tell him about "Man Made Climate Disruption". He's a seldom heard from priest in South America and now he's an expert on climate AND The Pope.

Oh, but now as the top guy in the Catholic Church he is the Earths biggest champion advocating for big goverment intervention, regulations and MONEY to fight the emergent scourge of the Weather. Having a "Fan Friendly" Pope as an advocate of the Global Socialist Cabal will be seen by many as a boon to convincing the Rubes around the world that Global Warming, I mean, Climate Change is actually a real thing instead of what it is, another global grab for power by a government elite.

It’s all about the Benjamin’s with the Catholic Organization. If a church isn't “pulling it in” what does the organization do? They close it. Sorry, no more services here so move along and find another church to go to that can make some real revenue. After all, we do all sorts of good deeds with it although we don’t have time to go into detail. Thanks for your co-operation.

As a child in the Boston housing projects both the Catholic and Protestant churches sent offering envelops home with every child. Didn't matter how poor you are, you are never too poor to give to the church!

And now the church can debit your bank account monthly. How convenient!

What we don't hear is the Pope pledging Vatican Money for research and to join the "fight" to Save the Planet with their own resources. Heaven forbid!

It seems that the “The People’s Pope” has found a way to fill the Vatican vaults with Al Gore level money, by using his high and lofty status to tout something he knows even less about than the Bible or God: Global Climate Change.

It’s brilliant isn't it? If the Pope calls for the destruction of every countries economy, there will be more poor people than ever. Oh, it's good to be Pope!

Who doesn't think money isn't involved? We've seen others grow rich and fat on the climate change gravy train. Why WOULDN'T the Pope go for it? It isn't like he’s taken a vow of poverty or anything; he’s got a dwindling world empire to bring back to power! There is definitely a marketable quality to Pope Francis that we haven't seen with the other Popes. By leveraging his elevated status since he took "office" a favorable statement by Pope Francis could command big money. He can sell you Catholic Guilt, White Guilt, Wealth Guilt, Pope Francis can sell it all. 

It is apparent that Pope Francis has sold his soul to the Devil of Climate Change and now he's on board the Government Train and preaching to the world, again, that it is Man that is the problem with the world. And isn't Pope Francis also a man? On top of that he has become a Useful Idiot for the power brokers of Climate Politics.

Contrary to popular belief, Popes are not chosen for their brains. They’re chosen for…er…I don’t know , perhaps how they look in a dress, who really knows but judging by the last two Popes, one who liked to spend the money, wear the cape, wear the jewels and the other who pretends not to like spending the money and goes tilting at windmills that don’t even really exist, they aren't the sharpest tools in the ecumenical shed.

Birds of a feather…fly together and so Pope Francis has joined the Global Bullshit Squad for Climate Awareness. And who cares if there isn’t an ounce of truth to any of it. That’s not the point. Its control of the means of production these Climate Communists want.

There’s a lot of money involved and a lot of power at stake and the Pope wants in on it. That money can but a lot of influence and it can certainly buy a lot of people. 

Hell, it bought a Pope.

Socialism Suffers Setback in November Election

Well I guess there are still more of us than there are of them.

For the time being anyway.

The Socialist Democrats are bewildered. “Doesn't everybody want free stuff?”  They bemoan!

Sometimes you just can’t buy ALL the votes you need on the way to bankrupting the country.

People still want to own stuff and have stuff and they want a means to get what they want as in having a LIVELEYHOOD. Not just money from the government but a real something to work at and which they are interested in. A way to spend their day in creative and productive pursuits instead of going from handout to handout thinking you’re really putting something over on the government when they know they have you right where they want you, on a string.

One interesting observation of the political left in this country: They are looking especially deranged in their response to the rejection of their socialist ideals.

In fact they are downright delusional and seeing how their brains can’t rationalize the rejection they respond with anger and malice. They will get us.

Reminds me of the school system right here in Obscurity, MA. One year about 4 years ago, the town attempted yet another Proposition 2 ½ override. Prop 2 ½ was a law put on the ballot by the taxpayers that limited the amount of property tax could be assessed to 2 ½ % of the assessed value and could not be raised more than 2 ½ % of the value in total. Assessments come usually every 3 years.

In order to tax property beyond the 2 ½ %, the town has to have a vote. The Obscurity, MA school system had attempted and succeeded in passing 3 other Prop 2 ½ overrides in the past 5 years to pay down shortfalls in the school system but THIS 4th override attempt didn't pass.

So what did the school system do?

They decided to “show them taxpayers” by cutting back sports programs, doubling the participation fees, abruptly laid off several teachers and cut the hours of the high school so short that the high school didn't meet the state requirement for minimum school hours and actually lost their state accreditation for the next 3 years.  How’d you like that if you were a graduating senior looking to get into the college of your choice?

This is the malevolence of entitlement by a socialist government. Never mind they continued to run deficits after the first override, you have to just continue to pony up the dough every time they ask for it. Otherwise you will be accused of trying to "run the government like a business!"
  
But it seems the opposition has grown to take back both houses of the people. Their first reaction is rejection of the results. Their second reaction is to plot the usurping of the victors. The propaganda has already begun. The floating of compromise and that the people still accept the glorious ideals of the New Normal. But there is no compromise in the tearing down of such vile pillars of national destruction that is the Orwellian named Affordable Care Act. It’s better to lose it now than to wait until it collapses because nothing on God’s Green Earth that is going to keep it from doing so. It was Chaos on paper yet here it is, a law. Such is the state of things.

But the world does not want Socialism, a form of economics that has failed every time it has been tried. Never has there been a successful society under Socialism and its sister misery Communism. History will vouch for their track record. “But only if it was done correctly” the mantra goes on but how many times can one try and fail? How many tears have been cried as a result? Millions and Millions.

From bloody Mao to bloody Stalin to bloody Chavez to bloody…etc. But they aren't all bloody I suppose with Francois Holland just plain the French equivalent of Barak Obama or maybe just Jimmy Carter who has now become the SECOND worst president ever. Holland should be the next leader of a major nation to be swept into "the dustbin of history" by the electorate.

So the American System has a chance once again to show it’s rigidity by using its flexibility. There is a reason the wheels of government moves slowly.  The system of checks and balances can be defied but the people, when push came to shove, came out to reject the collectivist sentiment of our would be overlords. If they had wanted a different result then they would have chosen it. If they wanted compromise with the Democratic President then they would have voted for the Democrats.

That’s the good news.
