The Biden Regime: Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!

 

There is no end-game for the Biden Cabal that has, via the greatest purloinment of an election in the history of the United States, come to power in this nation, not with a parade but by sneaking in the back cellar entrance. 

By trying to keep the Covid Scare lockdowns going as long as possible, these syndicate thugs hope to either come up with a brilliant plan OR just try to put off the inevitable economic retconning that will begin just as soon as the country is allowed to get back to business, IF it can get back to business. Once it does, the bills will start to come due and the whole mess will start to unravel. But it won't unravel slowly. It will make an incredible whirring noise like you get when you hook that big Marlin and it knows it has to dive. 

But there will be no brilliant plan coming out of Joe Biden's head or any of the empty noggin's he's brought with him. They aren't looking that far ahead. The Plan was to tear down everything first. That's it. Just destroy everything. What comes after never concerned them. Governing isn't what this is all about. The whole of the game and the plan is and has been from the beginning, is to tear everything down. 

Cancel the Keystone pipeline, put 11,000 people out of work. What is the plan to replace those jobs? No plan. "What's your point?" says Joe. South Dakota still has to get their oil to market so they'll just have to stick with driving their diesel powered tanker trucks over the state highways.

Good thinking. 

But it was never about good thinking. It is about destruction. Because Keystone was a good plan, was being successfully executed and had a solid goal in mind; get oil to market safer and more efficiently. It had to go. 

Open up the boarder with Mexico and let those people in. "Well sir, what are we going to do with them when they come? are we going to vet them? Discover who they are? Give them their shots to prevent them from bringing diseases into the country?" 

"What do you mean?" says Joe Biden. "What are you trying to say?"

There is no plan for what happens next. Never was. It's just "Let them in!" That's the plan: Chaos. 

All Anarchists know how to do is destroy. They can infiltrate, reconnoiter, plan, social engineer, undermine, threaten, loot storefronts, break windows and burn buildings down. But none of that has anything to do with GOVERNING. Radicals don't know how to govern, they are incapable. Look at Castro, the guy could lead an army and kill people. He took over, put himself in charge and look what he made. 

Anyway, there are too many examples of this kind of failure. The Left keeps saying, in order to convince themselves, that the NEXT TIME they get a chance, that they will get it right. But they never do. There is no right way of Communism. It's failed every time it's been applied. 

But the Biden Regime doesn't even go that far. They aren't even pretending to lead. The mission is to destroy. THAT, they are doing. 

It hasn't even taken 4 weeks to start gas prices climbing. Now this time they do have a plan, raise the national gasoline tax! A regressive tax like this is just the thing to aid the poor and reduce the costs of shipping. Good plan. 

The talk of re-entering the bad-for-us Paris Accord, even though nobody is going to pay any attention to it, including us. But there's money to be made for the Biden cronies, you can take that to the bank. 

Getting involved with Iran again for lord knows why other than President Trump and all the people who voted for him was against it. The plan there is: IN YOUR FACE! After that, no plan. 

And the "Plan" for Covid Relief is to, rather than getting people back to work, is to print more money and spread that bad paper around to the rubes. 

You can bet there will be no plan once the inflation starts to rise and the job lose continues to pile up. Biden and his Henchmen will just sit and watch. Or they won't even bother to watch. They'll just keep saying nonsense and their Media Enablers will continue to broadcast it like it was something important.

And what a bunch of nonsense they have already been spouting. Does that Jen Psaki ever answer a question? She stutters like a tractor in need of a tune-up when she genuflects and contorts to avoid any semblance of certainty or truth. Let's see how long they all can keep that up. 

The Complicity of the GOP

I blame the Republican Party for this debacle. They did nothing to scrutinize the election process or contest the dubious results. Instead they sat on their hands. They did nothing so this must be what they prefer. They would rather have the Biden regime than continued prosperity for the country. 

Useless Supreme Court

They are supposed to hear important cases. They are required to hear cases brought forth by legal voters. They punted. Go ahead, expand the Supreme Court, who cares. Why defend them when their job is to defend us and they just plain did not. They've taken themselves out of their role in government.

Biden Should Come Clean

In an ideal world the Biden Group should just put their hands up, admit they subverted the vote to gain the Whitehouse, admit they are in over their heads and throw themselves upon the mercy of the American people for what they've done. They should just admit what all of us know and few dare to speak. 

Let the person who was actually voted into the office, come up and run things. 

Otherwise, there's no reason to vote again. It won't make any difference since the Leftists now control the voting machines so just go live your lives and prepare yourselves the best you can for what's coming next. 

Icon of the New Religion

Love her or hate her, believe that she acted on her own or was manipulated by her social-activist parents or whatever, one has to see with clear eyes how Greta Thunberg has gained a more than mere cult following among the new wave of religious zealotry that is permeating the world at large.

This is not a new thing as we know and although none of us living today were around when the last couple of religious cults started, perhaps we're seeing how it may have happened way back when. Young Ms. Thunberg didn't happen overnight, of course, since world society is heading into its third generation of people brought up as climate cultists.

Many point to Rachel Carson's 1962 book "Silent Spring" as the "Bible" of the movement which had it's roots back in the 1950s when Ms. Carson, a trained Marine Biologist and nature writer, became interested in the effects of synthetic pesticides used in agriculture and DDT in particular. This book got DDT banned and sparked a movement that lead to the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Given this sort of social success, the Climate Cult has grown larger around the world to the point where it is now in direct competition with the older more established cults of the past 2,000 years. In the same fashion that Paganism, which deified storms and other actions of the natural world, was eventually swept away by the Monotheists, so now the circle will be complete and society is again embracing natural phenomena as acts of the new, angry God.

The Mural in San Francisco

So this Argentine artist, Andres Inglasias, is painting a 60 ft by 40 ft mural of Greta on a building in San Francisco and the non-profit group that commissioned the work has gone out of it's way to make any detractors aware that they only use water-based paints with eco-friendly spray cans and use electric vehicles, etc since there are two groups of people they have to be concerned with.

On the one hand they have the Conservative Unbelievers who will point out any hypocrisy in materials and deeds that they should slip up on right down to getting coffee in a Styrofoam cup and on the other is their fellow Orthodox Environmentalists who will do the same thing but with more shaming.

Greta the Spiritual Icon

To me, Greta Thunberg has an interesting face, not pretty, not ugly, more determined and always it seems unsmiling. This is the kind of face, with it's strength of conviction, that leads a cause. She's done her penances, she's made her pilgrimages, coming to the United States and even speaking to the United Nations. Who gets to do that? Not everybody.

Although soon to be 17, Greta took Earth's Plight into her life when she was 8 years old and although welcoming of her strong stance, I don't believe her parents were behind her religious devotion to the cause of Climate Activism. We all know how young children can get fixated on an idea and even though she has adopted the religion of her parents, I believe it was she alone that chose to take the next higher step of the truly devout. She has transcended her mentors. 

She has organized strikes, gained followers and established her disciples to whom she has proven her devotion. She's now become the face of the new expansion, an icon for the new Masthead.

Think of her as the young Mother Theresa of Climate Change, sacrificing all for her dedication to her cause, answering the call of her God and now, with divine light, they are ready to take over the world.

How to Spot Cyber Fraud

In a somewhat related note, most of the working world who use computers and work on the World Wide Web have read about or taken training on how to spot what has become one of the worlds most prevalent dangers, Phishing Scams! So, as a sort of Public Service Announcement, I'd like to take this moment to point out the one glaring giveaway to look for as a sign that that you are being set up for fraud...

a Sense of Urgency.

Fraudsters are just using human nature against you. They know that most people just want to do the right thing and so they seek to exploit a person's sense of wanting to be helpful.

By using call to action statements like; "We Need to Act Now!, We Can't Afford to Wait!, Time is Running Out!" and "There is No Time to Lose!", the fraudster is looking to hurry you into making a mistake that they can take advantage of and so stands as a clear sign that the person or people you are dealing with are trying to manipulate you.

Hope this helps.

Democratic Platform for 2020

"When one observes the nightmare of the desperate efforts made by hundreds of thousands of people struggling to escape the socialized countries of Europe, to escape over barbed wire fences, under machine gun fire - one can no longer believe that Socialism, in any of its forms, is motivated by benevolence and by the desire to achieve men's welfare."

Ayn Rand - The Monument Builders - 1964


Just when you think the Political Left can't get any more radical, they somehow manage to come up with crazier schemes to "help" the American people.

So, with a few additions, the Democratic party has strengthened their resolve to bring the reforms they think we all deserve.

Open Rebellion

Here's an idea that hasn't been tried since the 1860s; open warfare. Brute force disguised as compromise. Compromise usually means that both sides make concessions. One gives a little to get something in return. But there is nothing offered in return. You either go along with the plan or you are an enemy to be crushed.

A Living Wage is a Right

An unearned benefit for the worker and an unchosen obligation for the business owner and increased costs all around for the consumer. Inflation would rise and the "living" wage granted by government would just even out by the increased costs. Government imposing a price rise is not a market force and the market will react quickly and naturally to restore equilibrium. And loads of people and businesses will be hurt in the process.

You don't have a right to an income. The Founding Fathers only state that you have the right to the pursuit of happiness, not happiness itself. You have the right to take the steps you feel necessary to make you happy. This does not mean others must make you happy.

The Green New Deal

One doesn't have far to read into this "Thing" to find that it means Confiscation, Appropriation and Re-Distribution. It's great if you're the one taking, not so great if you're on the other end. And oddly, the "Poor" never seem to see a dime of it. Ask all those dead Bolsheviks who spent 3 lifetimes waiting for the payoff of the Glorious Revolution that never came. Ask all the dead Chinese who were told that abundance was just a little bit further but further than they lived to see. Ask all those stupid-assed Chavanista's who are fending for food in the daytime and trying to hold onto their misled lives at night. All easily pusueded yet stubbornly hard to convince in regards to who led them down the primrose path of good intentions and copious pools brackish water.

Climate Change is REAL! Really! It Really is!

No, it isn't. Never was. The only people who say they believe in it are the ones who foolishly think that they will be among the people who stand at the top of the heap in power. Little do they know that assassination is more likely their fate. The higher they think they'll climb the more hurt they'll feel when they realize they've lost the game. If you really do believe it's true, you basically have a weak mind and can't tell the difference between a truth and a lie.

Just the collusion between NASA and NOA exposed by WikiLeaks should have been enough to show the world how much of a hoax it all was but since Climate Change has become a religion unto itself, there's no talking to these people now. They are just insufferable, intolerant crazed berserkers.

Retroactive Birth Control

That's right folks, a woman can choose to terminate her pregnancy right up until the child is ready to start Junior High School. After that, it would be murder.

Abortion on Demand has morphed to abortion any time regardless of viability. Just kill 'em if they want. We'll make it the law.

The Rights of the State vs Individual Rights

And this is the crux of the whole thing. Does the Individual have rights to do what they desire in life or does the State have the right to tell them what their desires are and that they must sacrifice their dreams for the good of the many. To the Socialists, there is always a payoff just up the road. All your sacrifices will be worth it...later. But it's coming...just a little bit further.

Not to worry, you'll never live to see it.

Conclusion

So the 2020 election objectives are pretty darn clear. Collectivism or Individualism. In the latter, you carry the burden for yourself. In the former, you carry the burden for others.

You can give up the fruits of your labor for the greater good or you can put your sweat and efforts into providing for you and yours and expect your neighbor to do the same for himself.

There is a word for someone who toils but does not reap the benefits of their own labor. We call that person a SLAVE.

So, for whom do you want to bear the burden? Your family or someone else's?

Vote!

The Democratic Platform for 2018

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now shut up and sit down!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

The Conclusion

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

Will this platform be a winner in 2018? 

Judge Kavanaugh Pees on Nurse as Infant

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

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

The FBI is looking into it.

Diane Feinstein Attempts the Clarence Thomas Maneuver 

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

Trump Administration Has the Nerve to Question the Timing

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

Life in the Me Too Universe

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

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

What's your hurry?

The Liberal Judges

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

We'll never know.

Judge Clarence Thomas

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

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

Obama Flaunts His Pessimism

Former President Barak Obama truly cannot figure it out.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Big difference. 

Failed Ex-President Attacks President Trump

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

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

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

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

And he doesn't even remember his presidency right!

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

Haha, how absurd a recollection.

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

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

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

They sucked.

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

You get what you vote for.

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

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

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

Can you imagine?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Of course, Obama wasn't actually trying.

See you on the campaign trail Mr. Obama.

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.

Russia Finds Hillary's Lost Emails!

It's amazing. The Russians have done what the FBI could not; Find Hillary Clinton's 30,000 "misplaced" emails!

Of course, the difference here was that the FBI wasn't looking for them in the first place.

And how much of a "hack" was it when it was revealed by Julian Assange that the password for John Podesta's hotmail account was in fact "password"?

And it was also revealed how the Clinton Foundation was a money laundering scheme where the charitable contributions seemed to be funding the Clinton's themselves.

But since Hillary is a Liberal Democrat, the FBI, our top federal investigatory authority says; "No crime here folks, move along."

But it's understandable that they could not devote the resources to investigating Hillary and her playing fast and lose with federal law concerning her secret email servers, loss of classified information and then lying about it since they were too busy trying to undermine the Trump Presidential Campaign.

Now THAT was important!

And if you were wondering why the last President, What's His Name, didn't do something about the convoluted Russian Hacking story is that first of all, it didn't actually do anything of measure and so was of minor importance to them...until Hillary lost!

But the Russian Probe is also accomplishing something else beside trying to sew chaos in the Trump administration; it's also providing cover for Hillary's misdeeds. A good offense is the best defense. The FBI will NEVER probe the Clinton email scandal or any of her other dubious dealings because their purpose is not to find the truth.

The purpose of the FBI is to GET TRUMP!

And that's all. They can't be bothered with anything else right now, call back later.

Anybody can buy an ad on Facebook. The Canadians, the Croatians and the Russians can pay money and advertise for or against anybody they want. But only now can such a free market transaction and execution of speech that Facebook provided to all who wished be branded as "Election Meddling".

And anyone can hack your email account. It's not going to win you Wisconsin.

It's all so staged and actually boring.

But you've got to hand it to those Russians, they really know how to get information when our own "Intelligence" networks decide to take sides. Instead of indicting them for it, we as a nation should be thanking them.

I was present at one of Donald Trump's campaign rallies when he looked to the sky and and asked for Russia to find Hillary's lost emails. It was hilarious.

And it's even more hilarious now since THEY DID!

So now Robert Mueller is continuing the charade by indicting the Russian Government!

I hope they bring Hillary's emails with them to court.  

Everybody Talkin’ ‘Bout Trump!

Love him or hate him, his name is on everyone’s lips.

President Donald Trump is the most talked about person in the world today. His face is the most recognized face on the planet Earth.

Liberal talk shows talk about him, so called “conservative” talk shows talk about him. Every radio and television talk program talks about Donald Trump. If it wasn't for Donald Trump, these yammering dolts wouldn't even have a show. He is all they ever speak of.

Yes, 90% of it is negative press since the American media is bent hellaciously to the Left but as it has been said by many a famous person; “There’s no such thing as bad publicity”

Trump Derangement Syndrome dominates the Liberal American Landscape. The Leftists here in the formerly, and soon to be again, industrialized North East will just be having a normal conversation and then suddenly, bam! Like a bolt out of the blue they will blurt out:  “I hate Donald Trump!”

But we were only just ordering pizza.

Our “Allies” at the G7 are all abuzz at the audacity of President Trump’s demands that they open up their markets to U.S. goods. How dare he want equity for American markets? How arrogant!

But off they go to try and solve the riddle Mr. Trump has given them: “What do they do if they are frozen out of the U.S. market?”

All of Europe’s leadership is currently trying to sharpen their pencils.

If the United States is to bring back manufacturing in this country then we need a more favorable environment in which to sell the goods we produce. This is the heart of the matter.

The other G7 leaders can snear, give him the hard stare, they can protest and they can even try to crush Mr. Trump's hand but they better start thinking about how they can play ball with the United States.

Otherwise they could be on the outside looking in.

Vermont Hurt by Canadian Tariffs

Vermont shares a boarder with Canada. Major Vermont products consist of: Milk, Cheese and Maple Syrup. These are also the products Canada taxes at 270% of value in order to protect their similar markets from Vermont's competition. Despite the downplaying about the amount of business this amounts to by the Political Left, these industries mean a great deal to the state of Vermont to the point that dairy is subsidized by taxpayer money. I can personally attest to the high quality and the civic pride in which Vermonters have in these products.

It would be better for the Vermont state taxpayer to be able to have their dairy industry stand on its own. Opening up the Canadian marketplace for Vermont goods would be a good place to start.

Vermont did not vote for Donald Trump but as President, Donald Trump has their interests in mind.

We have yet to hear Bernie Sanders chime in about the impact of Canadian tariffs on Vermont exports. I would be interested in what he has to say. After all, he's a Vermont Senator.

Libertarianism and Tariffs

Now in my vast Libertarian library, every tome describes Tariffs as bad for business. And technically, on the surface, they appear to be just that. But that is the clinical interpretation of the device. When taking the reality of the situation, like right now, tariffs make a whole lot of sense.

First, my clinical texts all rely on the premise that our trading partners are playing by the same set of rules that we are. But they clearly are not.

A state run business can take the measure of dumping their inventory at below market rates and make up for the shortfall by shifting profits from more successful facets of their business collective. This does not happen under a capitalistic system since getting other businesses to give up their gains so another organization can take the loss would be next to impossible to pull off.

But totalitarian China can pull it off and they did.

What the dumping does is destroy the local industry to the point where most of the producers go out of business and the ones who do survive can no longer produce quantities to meet a larger demand. This produces dependence on the foreign imports and eventually China will make the money they lost taking the risk, back. They are then free to raise prices since their competition has been wiped out.

In the face of this threat to local industry, tariffs are a useful tool to combat such anti-capitalist practices by our “allies”.

Telling it Like it Is

So our President is telling it like it is to our European neighbors. He’s looked at our deals and he doesn't like them and wants a better deal. Europe doesn't want to give him one and would have dismissed Mr. Trump's overtures completely if he didn't throw up tariffs to get their attention. Well, he seems to have gotten their attention alright. And the thing I like the best is…

Mr. Trump is not bluffing.

Mueller Looking for the Exit

This whole charade has just about played itself out.

The leaks, the guessing games, the subpoenas, the depositions, the indictments and the rampant speculation is nearing it's end for special council Robert Mueller.

It's been one whole year and he's still got nothing.

The admission that Mr. Mueller cannot indict a sitting president is not a revelation. The revelation is that he said it at all. His purpose as a special council is finally rendered moot as the walls have already begun to close in.

What Mueller needs now is a graceful exit. 

Mueller's angle was probably never to indict the president in the first place. His job was to just hang out there as a major distraction to either slow or, by some investigative miracle, find something substantial on presidential candidate Trump.

But that wasn't possible was it since Donald Trump's campaign had been under FBI surveillance the whole time, his phone's tapped and an FBI mole planted in his campaign. The Anti-Trump Deep State already knew there was nothing going on with the Russians or they would have sprung that trap prior to the election.

No, no, they knew right from the beginning that they had nothing because their people on the inside and outside told them already so Mueller's job was to just hang out there and disrupt the Trump presidency and try to slow his agenda.

But now that is unraveling faster than Curley Q. Link in a Mummy costume.

And it's all thanks to the Russians!

So the Russian groups Mueller was granted indictments for have shown up in court with lawyers wanting to see what he's got for evidence and SURPRISE, Mueller is not ready!

How can this be?

How did he get an indictment in the first place? You have to show some kind of evidence to have a court of law issue an indictment, yes? Well where did it go? He had to have told the court that he had a case against these people, that he had evidence to prove that they had done something illegal, right?

So when the accused show up in court, Mr. Mueller's team is now "not ready".

Well isn't that just DANDY!?

This is actually a pretty big deal. This alone proves that the Mueller investigation was all a show.

Prior to trial there is a 'discovery" process where the Prosecutor, that would be Robert Mueller's office, would turn over the evidence that they have to the Defense so that they can prepare their case against it. This is the law in the United States. This evidence should already exist since the Prosecution would have had to present this evidence to the Judge to get the indictment issued in the first place.

So where is it and why could they not produce it at a court hearing?

Speculation has it that Mr. Mueller needed SOMETHING WITH RUSSIANS IN IT to keep the illusion alive that Russians were over running the U.S. election process in 2016 and because of this collusion by the Trump campaign with nefarious Russian oligarchs, poor Hillary lost the election.

So Mueller issues indictments for some Russian groups we've never heard of but he wasn't prepared for them to actually come back at him. This is hilarious in it's assumptive ineptitude.

Coming on the heels of this obvious embarrassment and with increasing calls for him to show what information he has gathered, Mr. Mueller seems to have decided to cut bait and declare he cannot prosecute President Trump. Can his declaration that he is ending his investigation not be far behind?

To issue an indictment means he would have to show his evidence which so far hasn't been working out too well. If he instead concludes his "investigation' and just issues in his final report that he "could have" indicted the President, there could only be a rebuttal from the White House and no trial to provide vindication. Mueller would get to keep his shadowy evidence in the shadows and the National Public Radio crowd screaming for blood the next two years while he heads out of town to go fishing.

In a real pond this time.

Does Mexico Even Have a Government?

Just who do the people claiming to run the country actually deal with to get something done? Who do they order to do what? Just what does the president of Mexico do? What does Mexico's Congress of the Union actually legislate? How do they enforce the laws they pass? Do they even pass laws? What do these people in the tailored suits do all day besides standing around looking like they are in charge?

Since the future of a country can be found in its history, it is fitting I think, to take a quick look at the colorful political history of Mexico:

We begin with the overthrow of Emperor Montezuma and the brutal Aztec empire in 1520 by Hernan Cortez and his band of either the bravest adventurers to ever have walked this Earth or the greediest. Montezuma is executed by his own people who felt he had enabled Cortez.

After 304 years of indigenous suppression, exploitation and slavery, Spanish rule collapses in 1824, Mexico's first constitution is established and in 1828 the arguably first president of Mexico, Vincente Guerrero, is elected...kind of.

The next year Guerrero is overthrown in a coup by vice president Anastasio Bustamente who is then overthrown by forces loyal to Manuel Gomez Pedraza who was apparently overthrown earlier in 1828. After a series of bloody battles, Pedraza is again president, Bustamente goes into exile and Guerrero is executed.

General Antonia Lopez de Santa Anna takes over in 1833 and holds onto power off and on for the next 21 years.

After much turmoil, the tenacious Santa Anna is overthrown for the final time in 1854 and sent into exile, A new Constitution follows in 1857 and the civil War of Reform is waged to defend it. France then intervenes in 1861 to establish Maximilian I as King of Mexico.  

In 1867 France abandons the unfortunate Maximilian and he is executed. Anti-Maximilian revolutionary Benito Juarez rules during the Restored Republic era but his administration is marred by corruption and political reprisals and then he drops dead of a heart attack in 1872.

Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada succeeds Juarez but is overthrown and exiled in 1876 by General Porfirio Diaz. General Diaz is exiled too in 1911 when the Mexican Revolution takes place between 1910 and 1920, touched off when the 80 year old Diaz was “re-elected” to another term as president.

Former revolutionary Francisco I Madero succeeds Diaz in an actual election but is assassinated along with his brother and Vice President Pino Suarez in 1913 by the forces of General Victoriano Huerta. This plunges Mexico into revolt and General Huerta flees the country in 1914.

The death toll during the Mexican Revolution has been estimated as one tenth of the total population and where names of famous peasant revolutionary leaders like Emilano Zapata and Pancho Villa become known to the world. They are both later assassinated.

Venustiano Carranza becomes president in 1917 and manages to serve a full 3 year term but in the following election tries to put a surrogate up for the presidency and as a result is assassinated. A new Constitution follows.

In 1928, president elect Alvaro Obregon is assassinated. A political party system is then instituted as a measure to provide continuity in the event of future assassinations. This turns out to be a good idea.

Mexico makes out well economically during WWI and WWII with the emergence of state-run industries. Since 1945, the governing of Mexico has stabilized between the two major political parties; Partido Revolucionario Institucional or “PRI” and the Partido Accion’ Nacional or “PAN”. 

But since that relative "Golden Era" the Mexican government, chiefly the PRI which held power for 71 years until finally unseated in 2000, has been glaringly ineffectual in growing the Mexican economy, providing jobs, education or even attempting to stop the flow of drugs, people and death from that nation. And in fact, Mexico has become one of the most dangerous places in the world. 

With Presidential and Congressional elections to be held on July 1, 2018 incumbent Enrique Pena Nieto is ineligible under Mexico’s Constitution from running for a second term. There are also elections in 30 of the 32 states.  A new president will therefore be elected to again try and fail to do what all his predecessors had tried and failed to do.

Only now the death toll in Mexico is reaching the most absurd proportions to the point where the numbers are almost beyond belief for a nation right next door to our own. And of course, we see the carnage spilling onto the streets of these United States. Living near our boarder with Mexico must be filled with anxiety and dread. 

I see these guys in nice tailored suits saying they're going to do this or that to "combat the drug problem" living lives of luxury while a large portion of the Mexican citizenry has to worry about holding onto their lives. What passes for a government appears powerless against Mexico's organized crime families. 

Or is it that they are one and the same? 

With Mexico's Interior Ministry reporting 29,168 murders in 2017 which is totally meaningless and one could guess that it's probably double that number since this figure is only for tracked investigations. That doesn't count disappearances, unreported homicides, unidentified (headless) bodies in the streets and who-knows-where mass graves. But even in doubling that figure, it still doesn't approach what is going on in Venezuela. Can you imagine?

Then there are the caravans of people from other South American Hell Holes streaming through the country on the way to the United States. Nothing seems to get in their way as they march straight to the U.S. boarder. Mexico doesn't care. let 'em through as long as they aren't staying. What is it to them? It's not their problem.It isn't like they are Allies of the United States or anything.

And then they have the nerve to stand there with straight faces and say that WE, the people of the United States, should be taking care of these people, the ones they've ignored for generations. What balls! They should be ashamed to even show their faces.

What is going on in Mexico isn't a Democracy. It's a Dictatorship where the heads of state and seats of Congress are shuffled between the same Gang of Landed Elites. They may be in charge of the government but they aren't in control of the country. Even to the casual observer, Mexico appears to be in a state of chaos.

And the seat of government holed up in Mexico City is fine with that. They don't care if you have a job, they don't care if you have a school to go to, if you have enough food, a roof over your head, they don't care if you leave, they don't care if you stay and they don't care if people are shooting at you.

That's Mexico.

The government of Mexico has long ago thrown in with the Drug Cartels and therefore have negotiated themselves out of the line of fire. Anything they claim they are doing to "combat the Cartels' is merely just a show. They are partners in this crime against the people of Mexico. And ultimately they expect the United States to take care of the fallout of their corruption while they live well.

Very well.

Young Autobots March on Washington

For these young activists, there is no alternative; guns have to go. But not all guns, just the "bad" ones and in this pursuit they have been given valuable access to national media channels.

Ignoring all facts connected to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, the missed opportunities of law enforcement to arrest the shooter and have him evaluated, the cowardice of the people who have taken a vow to serve and protect and so are paid a princely sum to do just that and the failure of people who failed to act, these people still blame the gun for the crime of the man behind it and the failure of the people put in charge to stop it.

So there must be more to this.

The Political Left's agenda is not to arm teachers so the kids don't want to arm teachers. The Political Left's agenda is to ban "Automatic" and "Assault" weapons so the kids want to ban these too. Never mind that they don't know what an assault weapon really is. Most rifles and 95% of all pistols sold are "Automatic" which is really Semi-Automatic. So most everything out on the market can be technically considered an "Assault Weapon".

Of course, what's in a name, right? You could just as easily call them "Defense Weapons" since plenty of people use them for that also. I guess that name won't stick for the media's political purposes.

So the demands by these young people are rigid, just like the Mentors who are advising and directing this latest campaign to take guns away from the law abiding citizenry.

Yes, we're sick of the shootings and the carnage but trying, again, to take the guns away isn't going to solve the problem so resisting the idea of having SOMEBODY who is armed in the school to protect the students should be approached with an open mind. It's the way things are moving and only requires legislation at the local level. Trying to get Congress to pass a restriction of any sort would come in direct conflict with the 2nd Amendment.

The real practical approach would be to bring back mental health facilities that were closed down in the 1980s. That was money well spent in light of having to deal with the aftermath of the mentally ill getting their hands on a gun.

Also it is apparent that we must re-impress upon our law enforcement establishment just what their job really is. It's not to put 40 rounds into an unarmed man in his grandmother's back yard. It's to protect us from bad people. When people are more concerned with police shooting them than a mentally deranged killer, things have gotten a bit out of hand.

So mass shooting training for all schools and place an armed person in the schools, either a volunteer teacher or armed guard. You'd think teachers would want to carry a gun given the chance since it's their neck on the line in the event of a shooting also. Who actually desires to be a human shield?  Grab a gun and make the other guy a human shield for Christ's sake.

Let's face the facts; despite the "Never Again" signs, this is going to happen again so it's best to be prepared for it the best you can and carping on yet another gun ban that has failed repeatedly in the past isn't the best way to do so.

President Trump hasn't said much other than banning the ridiculous bump stocks and thats fine. That is not a restriction to access. I also don't think Congress has the focus or the time to be trifling with an unsustainable ban that would foster only a strong counter-reaction that would shift focus away from the economy and put it squarely on the fight to overturn the law.

And there will certainly be a fight. Although this issue is never ultimately settled, the last definitive ruling was in 2008 when the Supreme Court re-affirmed that people have the right to posses a gun for personal protection.  We will just end up re-living the whole episode over again with more money and time being wasted.

People can try to muddy the water by knocking around what a "Militia" really is but since the Federal government pays to support the National Guard in each state and can order them to war regardless of that the governor of that state thinks, one cannot seriously conclude that they are really the "citizen soldiers" the 2nd Amendment refers to. They are regular army.

Nope, nope, nope, the people are the militia and they have a right to own a gun. And not a pop-gun either, they have the right to own a gun that chambers a bullet that our very own government uses.

So here we are.

What we are witnessing is a guided display made to convince us that these students and the nation is fed up and now all of one mind on gun-control when that certainly isn't the case. This will always be one of our great internal battle in these United States.

For what freedoms we have to remain, we too must remain ever vigilant.

No Such Thing as Hate Speech, Mayor Khan

The term "Hate Speech" is just a veneer the Stateists hide behind when they encounter bad press.

Witness the latest call by an elected official who doesn't like what he's reading. The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has an issue with people not saying nice things about him. Of course in Great Britain there is no right to free speech so it's not a stretch for a Londoner to want to stop such open discourse. It's just not...proper.

Well this BOOK BURNER, Mayor Khan, has a problem. The people who are saying terrible things about him are beyond his reach on Facebook. So he wants to have the government pass laws governing what speech is allowable.

This is all under the guise of "protecting people". You see, if they hear something bad about Mr. Khan or themselves on the Internet, this could damage their delicate self esteem.

Yes, it's all for the CHILDREN! Can't you see how sincere Mr. Khan is?

You see, the Mayor of London just can't stand the THOUGHT of such things. In fact, it's these THOUGHTS he is hoping to stop from manifesting. We should all just be nice and keep our stupid opinions to ourselves on the Internet. If we should have hateful thoughts about the Mayor or about other stupid politicians like him then we should be restricted from expressing these thoughts and that nobody should be allowed to read them.

So Mr. Khan wants something to be done to detect and report "Hate Speech" on line. Which brings to mind a question:

Who will be the one to determine what "Hate Speech" really is?

It's easy really, Hate Speech is something YOU don't like.

Perhaps we could get a nice socialist mayor of a big city to be the judge.

Problem solved!

I think Mr. Khan will gladly become the arbiter of all things Hateful. HE will be the one to determine what should be said on the Internet. Can you blame him considering his background?

Although I see a big problem since here in the United States, we do have a written Constitution and a Bill of Rights that, first and foremost, guarantees the right to say what you want to say. Oh, there are a few limits but I would hardly equate sending hate notes to Mayor Khan, an outspoken lightning rod of a public figure by the way, to yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theater.

I'm sure this egomaniac Mayor Khan would disagree.

And imagine the outrage if someone were to tell the honorable mayor that if he would only watch what HE was saying, perhaps he wouldn't trigger so much "Hate Speech".

But the right to say what one wants must only apply to him. YOU don't get the same opportunity because YOU don't count for BEANS in Mayor Khan's book and only your speech should be restricted. Such things do not apply to a man of his high stature.

Gee, I guess Mr. Khan is British after all! He does seem to possess that arrogant regal swagger of self-importance that emanates from that island nation. Britain did ban American talk radio host Michael Savage from entering the country even though he had no intention of ever going there.

I get a kick out of people who go on about having a right not to be searched. Or they have a right not to incriminate themselves. In fact I hear many people go on daily about their rights. Yet these same people have no qualms about restricting the same for others. They're all for the police kicking down doors or searching motor vehicles at random stops to get "criminals" but scream bloody murder when it's their door that is booted in or their car tossed for no visible reason. Go figure.

There is plenty of evidence that its the British government itself that has no problem with such issues as written laws protecting speech, privacy and to be secure in your personal effects and property. It was THEY who tapped into international communications lines, the British spy agency, the GCHQ, and collected personal data on American Citizens and then gave the information, literally data on millions of unsuspecting people, to our own NSA. All without the pesky problems of a warrant or reasonable cause. So who really are the criminals in all this?

Do you want the government, ANY government, to tell you what you should be seeing and hearing?

Give up the right to own a gun and you will.

Misunderstanding the 2nd Amendment

The founding fathers of the United States of America didn't fight a long and bloody war with the mighty British Empire so that we are all guaranteed the right to own a hunting rifle. That's just not it at all.

It was so that the citizenry, that's you and me, had a right to bear the same arms that could be brought to bear against us should the government determine that it should march against the people in order to subjugate them to their might.

As someone once put it, the people who started our government and framed the U.S. Constitution and it's linchpin, the Bill of Rights, were not powder-wigged fools. They foresaw that someday in the future that there could possibly be a time where people of the nation would need to use such arms to either defend themselves or to drive out those who may wish to take over the government either from within or without. And to do that, a hunting rifle just isn't going to cut it.

The Teeth in the Bill of Rights

Does anybody believe that any of the other 9 Amendments in the Bill of Rights would be worth a hill of beans without the 2nd Amendment?

Freedom of Speech? The United States is the only country in the world where the right of the people to speak and say what they want, including talking down the President and it's ministers, that has written an absolute guarantee to it's people. We see the difference in this way of thinking all over the world. Canada doesn't guarantee it's citizens a right to free speech, nor France or Great Britain, not Australia or Sweden. Great Britain doesn't even have a written constitution. I guess your rights there are whatever Parliament says they are. No right to privacy, no right to free speech.

There is no equivalent anywhere in the world to our 1st Amendment. Some say it's our weakness but they'd be wrong. Like what you hear or hate it, people have a right to say it. And if, say, the government were to attempt to smash the people's right to protest and speak out, what mechanism could there be to impress upon government that the people wish to maintain this freedom?

That's where the 2nd Amendment comes in.

So perhaps one could say that the 2nd Amendment guarantees the 1st.

How about the 3rd Amendment? Could soldiers possibly be taking over homes in modern times? Would you call that impossible? Well it is since it is specifically outlawed in the 3rd Amendment. So, say, if troops were deployed to a disaster area here in the U.S. and needed a place to stay and told you that they were staying and you had to go...well, that's where the 2nd Amendment comes in.

How about something like China's new "President" for life? I like how our government likes to refer to Dictators of counties we trade heavily with as "President". But take Mr. Xi Jinping and his desire never to leave office. If this happened in the United States, what do you suppose might happen?

China has no such right of the citizen to own a fire arm and it shows.

The 2nd Amendment upholds the entire Bill of Rights. It is a complete and most perfect document made strong by the right of the people to bear arms. It is unique to the world and because it is so, the 2nd Amendment is the most maligned and attacked amendment. It just goes to prove the adage that for the American citizen, freedom is fought for every day. And so we fight on for those who don't understand the full meaning of why it's there.

Lexington, Massachusetts

If anybody bothers to look at my profile picture, you'll see that I'm standing on the bridge at Lexington, MA. This is the spot where our first citizens stood and traded fire with the troops of the British Empire. No small feat this. This was the day of the "Shot Heard Around the World" and where later in the day practically all the armed citizen militia answered the call and the British, by the end of the day, got their asses shot off.

Why did the British come out of their Boston stronghold that day? What was their purpose? To get the guns. They knew rifles and gunpowder were being stored in Lexington. That's what they came for and there is a larger than you are lead to believe group of people in this country that thinks that the next entitled government entity will try the same thing if they aren't paying attention. That's just the way has been ever since that day, April 18, 1775. It's going to take more than the latest media parade to knock them off of this belief.

Gun Sales will Rise

Anyone who thinks that these school shootings has reduced by one iota the public's desire to defend themselves with a firearm is living under a mistaken belief system. People will again flock to buy a gun based upon the media's inflammatory rhetoric which has very much sought to exploit the tragedy in the hopes of getting out in front of their anti-gun campaign before the real story of the failure of law enforcement, both local and federal, to act to stop a very preventable shooting.

What's an Adult? 

Even if I lived in my mother's basement playing video games at the age of 18, I'm still considered an adult, although not quite a responsible one. But even so, the law says that at the age of 18 I can be tried as an adult in the court of law and sign binding contracts.

Raising the age of buying a semi-automatic rifle or weapon, and they're ALL semi-automatic these days, to 21 represents a clear infringement on the rights of an adult to own a firearm and will not stand. They can pass the law but it won't hold up in court. You can carry a fully automatic weapon in Afghanistan for the U.S. government but you can't carry a semi-automatic when you get back? That's bullshit.

Bill Clinton Tried it

The Clinton Administration passed the so called "Assault Weapons Ban" back in 1994 which only served to drive ownership of such labeled weapons underground. Who knew how many were out there. The state of California imposed an assault weapons registry which nobody paid any attention to. So that's your precedent.

Rights Under Assault

Our rights are violated daily. The National Security Agency, the NSA, has been outed as spying on U.S. citizens in violation of the 4th Amendment that guarantees protections from unlawful search and seizures of property. The 1st Amendment is under assault from the Political Left for which has been mounting a sustained campaign against what kind of speech is actually protected, branding speech as "racist" or "hateful" or partitioning speech with the bogus "Free Speech Zones" when, of course, all speech is free anywhere you want to speak it. The U.S. court system is constantly working on the 5th Amendment going so far as punishing people for failure to incriminate themselves.

We have giant U.S. corporations making deals with foreign Dictators while simultaneously voluntarily allowing our own government free access to their communications systems for "monitoring" of U.S. citizens. There is no privacy any more and the collusion between multi-national corporations and government to know everything about everybody should be a major cause of concern for every thinking American.

And you think people are going to just give up the right to own a gun?
  

Give Teachers Right to Carry

Nikolas Cruz, the boy who killed 17 people at the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, whom everyone who knows him stated is mentally ill, seems to have never been clinically diagnosed as such and therefore would never have shown up on a “do not sell a gun to this person” list.

In order to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, they first have to be identified and certified. Given the shameful and woeful state of public mental health facilities in the United States since the 1980s, expecting this to happen is an unrealistic expectation. Bringing back these facilities would, in my opinion, be public money well spent but even if that were to come about, it will take decades to re-establish such facilities.

As we now know, with so many people who were positions to do something who didn't, it makes no sense to pass more laws since people didn't pay any attention to the one's already in place. A law isn't going to protect you.

And as we have seen, neither are the police. 

The glaring fact of the matter is that Nikolas Cruz was perfectly legal to buy a semi-automatic rifle anywhere in the state of Florida. 

And people think this is a gun issue.

School Security Guard

Mr. Aaron Feis, the MSDHS football coach who selflessly made the ultimate sacrifice and took the bullets intended for his students, was also referred to as the school's security guard. It is evident that he was an “unarmed” security guard.  

If Mr. Feis was armed and trained to use a firearm, this situation MAY have played out differently. I don’t know how much warning Aaron Feis had about the location of Nikolas Cruz but instead of only being able to resort to throwing his body in front of the students, he could have also been ready to take down an armed student with his own firearm. 

This scenario does raise more questions than it answers like if Cruz knew that Feis was armed and if that in itself did not deter him, he could have just made it a point to seek him out and shoot him first and then continue with his shooting spree. We will never know. 

What it Will Take

When seconds count, the police are minutes away.

If there were people who were armed, either a school teacher or paid detail or guard, would this still have happened like it did? If he knew that there were armed people at the school, would Nikolas Cruz still have gone in?

So say Aaron Feis, armed and aware of Mr. Cruz coming down the hallway, shoots him and ends the conflict right there?

Or he doesn't even have to hit him, just keep Cruz at bay until help arrived.The headlines change: “Brave Teacher Halts Student Killer”. There’s no predicting such a result but we know what did happen. It’s now history.

As we have seen over and over again that our law enforcement forces cannot stop an armed assault on a soft target like a school, a bike path, a public mall or any place that people gather.

Leftists Don't Want to Hear it

The Young Leftists who are now campaigning to outlaw guns don't want to hear an alternative to taking away the guaranteed right of gun ownership. Perhaps due to their standard, sub-standard public school education, they know nothing and care nothing about the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights, a delicately balanced document that guarantees the rights they enjoy in this country and to say anything they want. And the linchpin in the Bill of Rights is the 2nd Amendment, without which none of the other amendments, including the 1st, are worth a penny.

I’m so sorry these bright young kids with an expectation of safety have had to take in a harsh reality of life so soon and seeing people they know gunned down and killed. But there was plenty that could have been done in their community to have at least given them a chance at avoiding such a catastrophe and was not done.

We can go on about passing more laws prohibiting access to guns but how will that stop a person without an arrest record or mental illness diagnosis? They're going to clear a background check. The information has to be IN the computer for it to be effective. 

The Leftists cling to a failed ideology; That guns are bad and that they should just go away. "Just ban them" they say. Like they are going to magically go away if people aren't allowed to have them. The Muslim Terrorists have guns and they aren't supposed to either. Go tell them they aren't allowed to have them and find out what they have to say about that. 

Blaming Gun Manufactures 

This door swings both way. You want to hold gun manufactures "accountable" when someone abuses one of their weapons but make no mention when someone uses a similar weapon to successfully defend themselves and other. That's right, people can and do defend themselves in this country way more often than you hear about. There's a reason for that. The media won't champion such a thing since it works against their anti-gun narrative.

Devin Kelley, the guy who shot up the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Spring, TX was stopped by an armed citizen. 

Allow Teachers to Carry

I think you will get more teachers volunteering to carry a gun today than you would have last month. Fighting back is loads better than only being able to use your body as a shield. Anybody with a brain is going to realize that there's no future in that.

Schools are the ultimate soft target and until we change that, scenes like Columbine and Stoneman Douglas are likely to continue. Guns aren't going away so the wisest choice is to be prepared.

So be prepared.
