A Most Unusual Tribute to President Trump

"There's no such thing as bad publicity" - Phineas  T. Barnum


Rather than finding the Trump Baby balloon offensive, I think it's great. What a tribute to President Trump!

These people are going well out of their way. That balloon took a lot of time and money to make. And imagine also the time and money it takes to store, transport and maintain this thing never mind buying the helium to blow it up. It has to be blown up, manned by a crew of "Baby Sitters" and there's probably a permit to be paid for involved. Then it has to be deflated, carefully inspected, folded and loaded into a van and taken to a storage area...every time.

What a homage that is. 

So let's think about this for a minute.

They didn't think to make a giant "President Hillary Clinton" balloon to badger Mr. Trump as a protest. They didn't think to make a big ol' "Bring Back Obama" balloon to badger him either. I would see both as antagonistic. Imagine looking out and seeing a big balloon of the person they think should have been president. But this didn't enter their heads apparently.

Nope! They instead make a Trump Baby? That's a protest? It's a bit too good natured to matter much as a protest. Sort of a tongue-in-cheek type of a protest. More of a begrudging show of respect which stands in stark contrast to the Left's harsh rhetoric.

Similarly, and quite telling in fact, there isn't a "Putin Baby" balloon and most certainly isn't a "Xi Jinping Baby" In fact, when the Communist leader visited England, there were no protests at all. And although he has a popular T-shirt, the long dead Cuban revolutionary Che Graviera never got a balloon.

But of course we know that neither Russia, China or Cuba has a right to free speech or a right to protest and none of these country's "Presidents" are known to possess a sense of humor about such things.

If you should decide to fly a similar balloon in, for example, China, it seems highly likely you will soon find yourself bound, gagged and having all your organs aggressively harvested while still conscious in one of Xi Jinping's not-so-well-hidden Re-education Camps.

That is the antithesis of freedom.

If anything, the Trump Baby balloon represents a symbol of reverence. It's a symbol of freedom to express one's point of view and it's been done very well. It looks just like him. It's a great, floating work of art and it's creation, love him or hate him, was spurred by a great force in humankind today.

And regardless of it's theme, the Trump Baby represents by it's mere existence the ideas held by a higher First World society based on rule of law and human rights. The rules are the rules and whether President Trump likes it or not, there it is. To his credit he hasn't said a thing about it yeah or nay. He probably likes it too.

After all, President Trump has a sense of humor.

Unlike London's lurking and spiteful Mayor Sadiq Khan, who's first instinct upon receiving bad press was to declare that there should be CURBS upon what can be said about him in the media.

There have been other polarizing leaders in America before and throughout world history but in this age of instant media and the current deep divides in our society, President Trump has become the biggest focus of just about everybody on the face of the earth with a radio or television. He's a man you may admire or he's the man you hate or rather, LOVE to HATE.

But you definitely have a strong opinion one way or another and regardless of which one motivates you, you are still motivated.

It's the push/pull of a living breathing process of a society's constant fight for freedom and progress that still stands as a beacon to be seen by the world.

It's a beautiful thing.

 

When an Apology isn't an Apology

llhan Omar, the Anti-Jew Representative from the state of Minnesota has issued an “apology” for yet another of her hateful anti-Semitic rants.

We don’t need a full description, we’ve heard them all. Ms. Omar just can’t help herself. She’s a Muslim with Tourette’s syndrome but instead of swearing, she spouts hateful shit about Jews and the Jewish state.

But that can’t be helped because she’s from a part of Minnesota that hates Jews, her parents hate Jews, her church hates Jews and most of the people she grew up with hate Jews.

I mean, she had to learn this somewhere.

And that somewhere was right in her own back yard, home and church. Given this kind of upbringing, is it any surprise that llhan Omar hates Jews too? Of course not, she's descended from a long line of Jew haters!

And now she has a seat in the U.S. Congress. That means plenty of Jew-hating folks in the state of Minnesota must have voted for her to be there. She represents them now in American Government.

Her Jew-hating community must be so proud.

Now she can trumpet her hatred of the Jews and the Jewish State to the four corners of the country and urge other’s to join her in a coalition of hating the Jews.

A Weak Non-Apology

Her apology for her most recent Jew-hating remarks, if one would call it an apology, was just so very weak and without substance. If you really want to apologize, you don’t actually use the term “I apologize” since it has a hollow ring to it. That's the over-the-phone customer service apology you get when you discover that your phone company has been over-charging you for the last 6 years. They don't care that they over charged you one bit, but since you figured it out they'll say "We apologize for that error." and then they'll blame the computer. 

And so just like Representative Omar's apology for once again being caught openly hating the Jews, it's Bullshit. 

But if a person really means it, what a real person who cares would say in apology is: “I’m Sorry”.

Like “I’m sorry for the awful words I said and the inaccurate and hurtful allegations I made.”

But that’s only if you mean it and, of course, Ms. Omar certainly does not. So subsequently she didn't come close to saying anything like that. But that's just because she's a dyed-in-the-wool Jew hater and always will be. Just because some old chic who runs the House of Representatives tells her to make an apology, that doesn’t mean it’s right. Right?

And she obviously doesn’t think it’s right because instead of taking responsibility for what she said, she boarded a new train to ride on in an attempt to carry her past the revelations of her own evil words. Now the boogie-man is “Lobbying”, an indirect and less acerbic reference to AIPAC, the lobbying group associated with Israel here in the U.S.

Lobbying, Really?

As far as stopping lobbying, good luck there Ms. Omar since the history of lobbying is just as long as the history of government. It’s not just a part of government, Lobbying IS government. There are ongoing efforts to curtail it but it’s never going away.

But to be clear, the most recent statements of Representative Omar has nothing to do with Lobbying groups in American government. It’s about Jewish Lobbying groups in American government. That’s because the bottom line for Representative Omar and the people who back her in Minnesota and Washington DC is the hatred they have for the Jewish people.   

Representative Omar is in Congress to do a job. And that job is to work on legislation for the benefit of the state and cities of the people who sent her there. Knowing how the U.S. Government works and how to get legislation passed should be at the top of her list.

 But it seems that hating the Jews is really her top priority.

Democrats Rush to Economic Apocalypse

As far as campaign promises go, giving away free stuff is always a big seller. But when you promise too much and give to little just to gain power, that power is fleeting. Unless your plan is to totally destabilize the country to hold onto this power.

Medicaid for All

Why have Medicaid for All? Isn't the Affordable Care Act givng away enough already? The ACA is a shining example of costing too much and delivering to little, of people who pay too much and people who pay not at all. The cost averaging that the insurance companies has resorted to in order to make the cost annual jumps in premiums palatable has lead to massive age discrimination since the people with the potential to drive up the what the average worker in the organization has to pay are the oldest. This cost must be eliminated. And then try to find another job bucko!

There isn't enough money in the world to make Socialized Medicine work. We've already seen shortages of vaccines and cancer drugs, drug company profiteering and poor substitutes for the real thing. Remember when regular people went to the emergency room? Now it's avoided at all costs.

Think about that one.

A Wall IS Border Security

How can an inanimate object be immoral? When you're a Leftist Democrat Anarchist who doesn't care if the country is over run by illiterate Visigoths just because a Republican is president.

But won't that effect everybody? They don't care.

Walls work. Hadrian's Wall in Roman Britain did a good job until the lack of a wall along the Rhine River in 407 CE caused Rome to fall. Stop me if you've heard this before. Thousands of uneducated non-Romans poured over the boarder over time until they outnumbered the Roman army, overwhelmed their resources and set up independent domains in Roman territory until, realizing they had greater numbers, they decided to just sack the place. The once mighty Roman legions were so depleted at this point that many in the army were either barbarians themselves or slaves, both holding on allegiance to the cause. The confidence in the government institutions declined and then it was every man for himself and then blamo, the Feudal System.

The Democrats don't want a wall.

Infanticide for All

But they do want third trimester abortions and are willing to pay for you to have them. Now if they can just come up with a way to make abortion retroactive. Perhaps the government run healthcare system will come up with a way to deal with people who take too much from the system. Once the healthcare money becomes "the public trust" anyone who may use too much of the "people's resources" for health care will most likely be scrutinized. It will become the government's right to do so since they are the keepers of the "people's trust".

Now it depends how many of the people trust them.

Tax the Rich!

The problem that will arise the longer this goes on is "who is rich?". You may be surprised to find that more and more people who never thought themselves rich will fall into that category.

However, initially, we can be assured that the category of Rich will be the people who make slightly more than Massachusetts State Senator Elizabeth Warren. So if she and her co-conspirators are worth $15 million, then the Rich people will be the one's making $18 million.

Of course many rich people don't have an income per se. Many, like Nevada State Senator Mitt Romney, take income from their stock dividend accounts which are taxed at a lower rate so they won't be effected by a higher income bracket. Either that or they'll just move.

But you, you working stiff son-of-a-bitch, will see a tax increase to make up for the shortfall!

This was another issue with the fall of the Roman Empire. Since the political hierarchy and landed gentry were exempt from taxation, Caesar taxed the Roman middle class out of existence so there were either the very rich or the very poor and the people either fled or were turned out of their property and the tax revenue dwindled further. The great estates then abandoned Rome altogether to become authorities unto themselves since Caesar had no resources to march against them either.

This is where Alaric, king of the Visigoths, shows up on the outskirts of Rome in 410 CE and gives them the old "Your money or your life" routine.

And that, boys and girls, was the end of the Classical Age. There was a lot of chaos loss of life involved with all of this of course.

But the Left wants the chaos. It's the only strategy they have. 

U.S. Will Always Win a Trade War

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

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

Well, screw that!

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

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

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

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

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

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

They will pay the extra money.

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

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

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

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

And isn't that enough?

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

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

We did!!

And why? We don't know!

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

It all happened in the United States. Why?

Because we'll buy anything!

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

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

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

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

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

But the United States will not.

National Public Radio: Last Believers in Global Warming

It’s about time that our nationally sponsored government radio stations across the United States just drop the whole Climate Change/Global Warming shtick once and for all since it’s quite obvious that nobody inside or outside of the public sector still believes it was actually happening.

The revelations of collusion between the Global Warming science “community” has long been brought to the light of day as is clear and mounting evidence,formerly suppressed or just never reported in the mainstream, revealing that for the last 17 years temperatures have not been rising but actually dropping after all.

Even staunch Leftists have been coming clean about the situation, the smartest of them already seeing the writing on the wall. Some have simply stopped attacking the Denialists and have just shut their mouths already.  Perhaps they can tour the talk circuit with the tagline: “I was a Climate Change believer” thereby gaining some added sustenance by reveling how they were duped or coerced by an evil government management into going along with the game. Maybe they could go on Oprah and talk about how they feel so used.

But tune into any NPR radio station any time of any day and you will never know that anything has changed. They will have either a panel discussion or a guest commentator who talk about how "more needs to be done" concerning the “settled science” of Climate Change which is how they’ve been trying to structure the argument ever since they realized their pseudo-science wasn’t holding up to scrutiny. 

Changing the name, it was hoped, would lend an air of ambiguousness to their Climate Science since people were seeing through their bogus Global Warming cabal that saw people like former democratic presidential candidate for the presidency of the United States, Al Gore, go from a lowly Millionaire to a more respectable Billionaire and saw just oodles of public funds funneled to American universities and scientists to “study” the problems in the fevered hope that someday they will find a solution, wink wink!

And the change in semantics was so clever, so subtle, one day the phrase is Global Warming and then the next day it’s Climate Change and so NOBODY NOTICED!

But it is a new world these days. There are no secrets. Or at the very least there aren’t enough people who can keep a secret anymore and so everything comes out eventually.

So it’s time for the good Leftists over at The People’s Radio Station to just drop the act. They’ve been able to keep a straight face for this long and that’s a marketable skill when one works for the government, especially the kind of government we’ve had to put up with for the last couple of decades, but it’s over.

It’s time that someone tell them that the propaganda war is over and THEY LOST.

To continue with an obvious charade is tiresome and, frankly, embarrassing. The money is sure to dry up so isn’t there some “Income Inequality” or “Services Access Disparity” for these good Comrades to jump on now? Surely there is another rainbow to chase now that the Political Lefts Holy Grail has turned out to be a shoddy pewter beer mug.

Maybe they can hold a fund raiser to retrain all the Climate Chicken Little’s to do something else with their lives. Perhaps they could be retrained for a new and completely different line of work. How about Journalism School?

Or perhaps the best of these Global Cooling Deniers at NPR could just transfer over to Bloomberg Radio and add a little more mileage to their careers since it will likely be Bloomberg , the station started by the former Crazed Mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg renowned for his Billions of dollars and certifiable odd behavior, that will hold onto the Global Warming party line to the last man, woman and Bolshevik.

But it makes no difference at this point in time since the argument, science, and quixotic belief in Global Warming as a man-made phenomenon is over.

It’s about time NPR got the news.

Obama Needs Voter Fraud

The President can’t run on his record because all he has no record to speak of other than spending, spending and spending. There is also ObamaCare, a plan so ill-conceived that there isn’t enough money in the world today or tomorrow that could make it actually work. The Obama administration has not produced a workable budget in four years and has spent umpteen Trillions of dollars just to try to prop up the government and its vast bureaucratic hive of agencies and affiliates that the country won’t be paying back anytime soon.  It has been everything for the public sector at the expense of the private.

But we know all this. EVERYBODY knows all this!

So why is this guy so composed and so confident of victory this November?

Every private sector working person in this country, new citizen and native born, non-citizen and citizen, has got to be tired of seeing government institutions saved while their private enterprises crumble.

Who would vote this guy in for another four years?

Only people who THINK they will get ahead under another four years of Obama. People whose primary bread and butter is from the government. And there are plenty these days.

Public unions, Federal and State employees from the IRS to the TSA, Homeland Security and, of course, the “downtrodden” the people on the endless public dole, SSI, WIC and whatever other State tit sticking out of a government issue brassiere you can think of.

Then there are the Community Organizer/Activist ACORN-like organizations that the Obama Administration has cultivated in their “Get out the Vote” programs. This is the Obama administrations paid mob and voting "experts".

I suppose elections these days have become almost biblical in nature. The dead will rise but instead of ascending to heaven, they’ll go to the polls and vote.

Florida and California have uncovered massive voter fraud in there registration rolls. Voter fraud is everywhere and it can be attributable the loosening of the voter registration process under the “Motor/Voter” bills. These bills, where a person can register to vote while they’re getting their driver’s licenses renewed, is a perfect opportunity for fraud especially since many states are giving non-citizens the right to drive an automobile. The government cannot be relyed upon to administer this program because they're looking the other way.

So while you’re getting your illegal license or fake ID, you can also get your illegal voter registration. Onyango Obama, Barack Obama's uncle who was arrested for drunk driving last year had a valid driver's liscense for the state of Massachusetts even though he was in the country illegally. He was elegible to vote. He didn't but he could have. How did this happen? Because the state enables him and other illegals to do so. Their job is supposed to be to stop such things from happening but they didn't. Why? Because they get their marching orders, not from the people who pay their salaries but from their bosses who owe their jobs to the political kleptocrasy that passes for good governement these days.

One of the tenants of government is to administer voter registration. They aren't.  If they can’t then they should either scrap their Motor/ Voter registrations programs or simply deny non-citizens the right to drive.  Period.

Then there are the “Immigrant Advocates” and their ACLU legal storm-troopers that assail any efforts to cleanup state voting irregularities with law suits and accusations of racism.

There’s also the government itself. The Department of Justice has filed suit against states attempts to initiate Voter ID laws. Yet they look the other way when leftist groups like ACORN and the New Black Pathers attempt to undermine the vote in favor of Obama.

I suspect the New Black Panthers will be back on the street also since nothing happened to them last time since that blatant racist Eric Holder refused to prosecute them because they are "his people".

Wouldn’t we all want to know if people are voting legally in this country? I guess not.  When the state of Florida asked the Department of Homeland Security requesting access to their federal citizenship databases, they were denied.

These are the ways Obama plans to get re-elected. This is about getting votes and holding onto power!

To Obama, the Captain of a sinking ship is still the Captain.

The presidency of the United States is an opportunity that Barak Obama has squandered. He has abdicated sound judgment to promote disunion, chosen every path to chaos over unity and rewards failure over success. He grinds his ax for all to see.

His intellectual mission has either been to bring up the lower classes by bringing down the higher classes or he was aiming at just causing chaos from the beginning. But either way it is clear he favors chaos over order, class warfare over unity and spending over saving. To a man like this, any way justifys the means.

Obama may not have success on his side or truth or even substance but he has legions of fraud-meisters and that could be all that he needs.
