Short Takes – The Agenda, Why They Won’t Stop

Opinion

“The Agenda” – Why They Will Not Stop

Twenty years ago our government was in the hands of a misogynist, but popular nincompoop, one William Jefferson Clinton. His tawdry life’s experiences, beyond his official duties, is too painful and sordid to repeat here. We all know the tale. What we don’t know was why the idiots in the Democrat Party rallied so hard to keep him in office. Because he led the agenda called “The Third Way” and maintaining ‘the agenda’ was far more important than the man.

A Washington Post article dated 9 Aug.1998, by E.J. Dionne, titled “The Big Idea,” explained why Democrats stuck with Bill Clinton throughout the Lewinsky scandal and his impeachment for lying. The article also introduced us “the Third Way.” Dionne wrote: “most of Clinton’s party will support him as long as they can. They see him…as the only figure who can make the party’s case.”…Until they don’t!  

Thomas Friedman wrote in the NY Times: “if there was no hope for the Agenda, what need is there for the man?” Friedman conceded Clinton’s personal failures and opined that perhaps he indeed needed to go,…. to save the agenda.

Bill Clinton went sailing with Walter Cronkite, a confirmed globalist who totally subscribed to a mandatory one world government to prevent a catastrophic third world war. At least that’s what he said in his book, A Reporters Life. Cronkite advised Clinton he should resign so the Agenda could proceed. Cronkite wanted the worlds nations to yield up their “precious sovereignty”…and establish a World Executive and a Parliament of Nations. We see how successful that has been with the European Union and the failing United Nations. It’s not working well, is it?

None the less, for a short while even the media joined in in asking for Clinton’s resignation. This was also the time of the Soviet Unions collapse and the new Russian Premier, Boris Yeltsin, calling for a Third Way, needing American support. Perhaps a savior at last!. Clinton’s White House press secretary, Mike McCurry said “For us, it has always been true, the policy matters more than personality.” In other words, the agenda transcends the man.  

Clinton’s decision not to quit stands in sharp contrast to poor ol’ Richard Nixon who  statesmanlike, resigned his presidency when he was advised to. Democrats are not statesmen but socialist driven aparatchek’s and their goal is still The Third Way, a one world government.

The real power brokers didn’t want Clinton to quit.because that would have ushered in the climate idiot Al Gore, to “heal the nation.” They knew that Gore lacked the charisma to drive their grandiose scheme but, If Clinton like Nixon, was driven from the field, then who would become Gore’s VP,? It had to be someone with the charisma to advance their agenda. No-one in the Democrat party fit the bill so they looked around and guess who they saw? Why, our own Newt Gingrich already a popular Third Way proponent. This may explain why Republicans don’t fight the Democrats. They’re all cut from the same cloth with the same agenda!

Then came Bush’s Compassionate Conservatism, or socialist lite, who couldn’t get it done; then the great black hope, Barak Obama. How did a nobody, with no history, no records and no achievements, become President so fast? Was a fix really in? But, alas, he couldn’t do it either and tried to pass the ball to Hillary Clinton, who hated him, just to save the Agenda. He hated the Clinton’s too, but “The agenda” mattered most. With Donald Trump, their whole plan is in abeyance. There is a Deep State and It is controlled by the oligarchs of the world banks.

Short Takes – Does Hollywood Matter Any More?

Opinion

Apparently, the Tony award’s were on last night. I didn’t know. It was in todays news when it was revealed once again, that the IQ level of actor Robert DeNiro, who publicly expressed his deep level of disdain, or rather his hatred for President Donald Trump, hadn’t changed.

When a celebrity uses only base rhetoric to express an opposing political opinion, such as using the one word that best describes one of life’s more pleasurable functions betweens the sex’s, as a statement of fact, then we have achieved the collapse of polite discourse and the sure sign that DeNiro’s “Peter Principal” level has been reached. DeNiro has achieved his highest level of intellectual attainment, a triumph of idiocy over debate. To the cheering Hollywood crowd, his word is final, but nobody really cares anymore, do they? Now, it’s only a news item.

The world is focusing on historic events: the just concluded G-7 Trade summit, the ludicrous after Trump statement by Canadian Premier Trudeau, the land creation going on in Hawaii and the land melting event in Guatemala, not to mention President Trumps mission to Singapore for a singular historic event, the first ever summit meeting between a North Korean despot, Kim Jung Un, and the President of the United States, and we are favored with DeNiro’s opinion.

We are in a whirl of world shaping news events to the point we almost can’t keep up and an aging pretty good movie actor, DeNiro, of no specific intellectual achievement, chooses a medium most Americans have stopped viewing, award shows, to offer up once again his learned opinion on the President of the United States.

What DeNiro reinforced by his tirade was that the Hollywood of today is no longer important except as a money raising machine for Democrats. Hollywood is disappearing, much of it having moved right here to Georgia. Most Americans already know what DeNiro thinks about conservative politics and it’s newest spokesman, Donald Trump, so we can safely ignore it.

What hurts most is the wild cheering by attendees applauding DeNiro’s version of the “truth” as DeNiro so cunningly expressed it. Some call the actor an “outspoken critic” of Trump, and he is but, who cares anymore? DeNiro can never speak his opinion without employing the lowest level of his rhetorical skills, using the “F___” word again and again. Maybe it’s his highest level.

These seemingly constant televised award shows by the entertainment industry patting itself on the back, have morphed into political action exercises by the Left to confirm their anti-American, anti-conservative and pro-Clinton opinions. They do it in the certain belief that simply because they have achieved celebrity or get a nomination to receive a silly trophy that has to be dusted once a week, that their opinion really matters. That is a delusional level above which people with excessively highly developed egos, like movie actors, rarely advance. The odd man out of course, is Donald Trump. His ego is his driving force and achievement, its reward.

Hollywood once expressed America’s culture in great movies; the culture that defeated the Nazi’s, the Japanese and later, economically, the Soviets. That’s the culture that drew thousands of intelligent immigrants to our shores to become Americans, not the culture of Hollywood today, demanding social changes Trump won’t give them. Theirs is the culture of political correctness, profane ideas and nasty words. Theirs is the culture of sexual exclusivity, diversity, inclusion, glorifying sodomites and multiculturalism, the direct antithesis of Americanism. Trump has changed the formula for success and they can’t stand it.

Short Takes – Elections Do Count, Don’t They?

Opinion

 

“The Memo,” when it was released, confirmed what we all suspected. There was enough corruption at the highest levels of the bureaucratic deep state to ensure that the rotted political establishment that feeds it, should survive. Corruption in government cannot exist without the protections of suborned, rogue police elements dedicated to keeping it in power. So far we see the DoJ, FBI and IRS filling those rolls. The leadership of other government Intelligence agencies may be also. But, in the end, Ya gotta win those elections,

 

Former discredited Director of the FBI, James Comey, now performs as a shill of the DNC. He is still attempting to neutralize the impact of “the Memo” and those who produced it, accusing his detractors of “being patently political as weasels and liars.” Comey even applied the metaphor of “McCarthyism” to todays politicians for the actions they took to bring down the “honest reputation of the FBI” (read: the Deep State in his meaning). In doing so, Comey forgets the FBI’s role in aiding McCarthy in conducting his witch hunts for Communists in the 50’s.

 

What we have now, as McCarthy predicted back then, is Marxists running our government. I do not say Comey is/was a Marxist but the Clintons and the DNC, no matter how they wish to call themselves, use Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” as the guiding principles on how they conduct their relations with Republicans, Americans and to change a Constitutional government. Comey, Mueller, et. al. are simply “Useful Idiots,” sustaining their own sinecures by cooperating with the party in power until their own corruption is complete. But, to sustain it, until complete hegemony is achieved by the Marxists, they still gotta win them elections!

 

The frenzy of loss and despair from loosing power is eating the Democrats alive. A whole year latter with an economy spiraling upward, rising employment numbers, a growing stock market and looming prosperity, the dysfunctional Democrats are bewildered about how to save their sinking ship. Their only hope lies in the 2018 mid-term elections and their only message, so far, is ”we all hate Trump because…” and here you can fill in the blank with any pejorative you wish. 

 

The Democrat party has been boxed in by President Trump over the illegal alien business and what to do with their offspring. Nice words like “DACA” are applied to give a soft, inoffensive meaning of legitimacy to criminals so that soft-hearted Americans will accept as inevitable, the citizenship of 1.2 million illegals, not 800,000, into our country. Also, Democrats  cannot explain how the violent crimes these Illegal aliens have brought with them can be of any use in a constitutional American society. Therefore, they apply words like “diversity” and “Inclusion” to assuage our feelings about what’s really going on in the violent America they creating. 

 

Democrats must win nearly all of the congressional and senate seats up for grab in 2018 if they hope to survive at all. That they continue to demand the Mueller investigation proceed, even after no evidence has been found to implicate President Trump of any connection with the Russians, it stays viable because the equally corrupt main stream media keeps it there.

 

Sadly, the little things like evidence and commons sense stand as no barrier to Democrat paranoia. Nancy Pelosi babbles on whenever a microphone is shoved in her face even forgetting who the President is. Schumer is nearly in hiding, the black Democrat caucus are in total denial, and Hispanic Democrat politicians are realizing how out of touch they are even with their own constituency. We’re on a winning roll to Make America Great Again. Lets keep it going!

Short Takes – The Congessional Circus

Opinion

The Congressional Circus

Well, what more can be said about July 12th’s Congressional hearing circus featuring Peter Strzok as ring master, except to point out the obvious, that the Democrat party, all of them, shouting out objections to Republican questions of the witness, praising the shamed witness with accolades for his bravery and Purple Hearts for his wounds, are morons determined to defend the indefensible, stretch the imagination into the realm of fairy tales, and strive to prove themselves to be, in fact, enemies of America.

Not enemies of America the country, filled as it is with us hopeless “Deplorable’s,”  as they say, but America the Idea; the constitutional America that enjoy’s the rule of law; the America nurtured on the field of battle with the blood of patriots soaked into its soil; the America of self-determination, personal freedom and prosperity if you can earn it.

Strzok, having risen into the higher ranks of the FBI, convinced of the righteousness of his and his girlfriend preserving the deep state by torpedoing Trumps campaign and, as determined to protect the shadow government of Barak Obama and all its odious appendages, strides defiantly into the Congressional interrogation chamber to attempt to set in concrete the lies that have already been made visible by their own clumsiness. The truth is ineluctable.

We were entertained if not outraged, by the haughty, contentious representative of official government corruption from the highest levels of the civil service. Agent Strzok who, through the use of rhetoric, alternate word definitions and denials of his own written intent to deny Trump the presidency, attempted to traduce the committee by his defiance. Democrats were pleased.

Some say the confrontation was “historic”. Maybe, but I don’t think so. It was tawdry! A Civil servant of the FBI who disgraced his badge and brought embarrassment to the agent corps of honest bureau investigators who also, in a stroke, destroyed the trust that American citizens once implicitly had in the product the FBI turned out. Unlike all other agencies of the federal government, only he FBI exists without a mission statement, no congressional limits on its activities and no accounting to Congress on its activities. It claims sovereign immunity from scrutiny because its work to protect Americans must remain hidden. A sure formula for corruption. Congress must correct that. Maybe they should stick to bank robberies.

It was the Democrats who thought the hearing was a “circus” and “ridiculous.” Still clinging to the faint hope that Mueller may finally find something they can use to impeach Trump, they claim the hearings are only designed to chip away at the integrity of the FBI and the Mueller investigation. Who can believe that?  Rep. Hakeem Jeffries,(D-NY) called the hearing a “kangaroo court. It is a three-ring circus, It is not even meritorious of an investigation by Ace Ventura, Pet Detective let alone 75 members of the United State Congress.” Democrats are a leaderless rabble looking to stay afloat in a ship punched full of holes and sinking fast.

We have yet to hear from the lovely and talented Lisa Page, who refused to comply with a congressional subpoena to appear for her session with Congress. The probable reason is so when she does appear, her answers will comport with her lover Strzok’s. Another waste of time?  

The corruption exposed thus far is trial-able on the basis of physical evidence alone. The Clinton toady’s from Comey to Lynch and Lisa Page and Strzok, and all in between should face a Grand Jury, trial and hopefully imprisonment. That will start the healing of America.

Short Takes – America’s Brown Shirts?

Opinion

America’s Brown Shirts?

Does Maxine Waters represent her version of America’s Brown Shirts? The rash of organized deranged fascists screaming in the faces of Trump supporters, Republican officials and anyone with a MAGA hat, is emblematic of Ernst Roehm’s Brown Shirts of a by gone era in a country far, far away. Roehm directed violence against anyone who did not render the salute of the National Socialist Party, who tried a to enter a Jewish owned shop of refused to take a SD handout on the glories of National Socialism. To not learn from history is to repeat it.

What is the difference between Maxine Waters directing her followers to harass Trump conservatives in cafes, restaurants and public places, and Ernst Roehm’s directing his Brown Shirts to destroy Jewish property as was done on “Crystal-night?”

The fact that Maxine Waters, an elderly, ugly black woman is doing her best imitation of Ernst Roehm, a fat ugly white Jew hater, is proof enough that for America’s Progressives any nut job can become a despotic leader of anarchists when he/she is determined to overturn, by threats, violence and intimidation, the will of the people.

This is not good and will not turn out well for them. Even Chuckie Schumer realizes the dangers of an uncivil, dissolving society divided by the policies of Barack Obama, into warring camps of have’s and have not’s, identity groups and base tribalism to enforce their demands.

Why is Maxine Waters screeds at democrat election rallies not considered “Hate Speech?” Why is it not a hate crime for a restaurant owner (Red Hen) to refuse service to customers on her “moral grounds” because they are Republicans not equal to a pastry baker refusing to bake a wedding cake for sodomites on his moral grounds and getting hammered for it?  

Democrats, “Hypocrisy is thy name.” How does a failing political party that wants to remain valid in the voters eyes, rid itself of the nut cases that present a clear and present danger to their longevity? Ernst Roehm was never laughed at Indeed, he organized battalions of well controlled street thugs into fascists and, to instill pride, uniformed them in the party’s colors, to show the public who they were, and that they intended to control the streets of German cities.

The legions of anarchists Maxine Waters is encouraging to take to the streets do not goose-step in nifty uniforms singing the Horst Wessel song, they wear “hoodies” and masks to hide their faces from police surveillance filming while they scream and holler trying to drown out the free speech of Conservatives, bash conservative speakers and their followers and destroy private property in their feigned rage and challenge the police sent out to confront them.

They are no longer afraid of the civil authority of municipalities, counties or states. We’ve entered into another era of common place violence, not because it hasn’t happened before, but because there are now so many more of them, and us, that can’t be ignored.

Berkeley, Calif., Portland, Ore., and Baltimore, Md. are three examples of cities under siege by the threats of intimidation by fascist “hoodies,” who magically appear on the streets to ‘protest’ the presence of any conservative speaker, event, parade or rally, that doesn’t comport to their demands for inclusivity, multiculturalism and diversity, all the society divisive tenants of Marxism. America is arming up. If you haven’t you should, and take lessons on how to defend yourselves. You, me, all of us, must be prepared for the coming storm, but in the end, we will win.

Short Takes – The Illegal Immigration Problem Will Still Persists

Opinion

The Illegal Immigration Problem Will Still Persist

I was seriously alarmed listening to radio host Hugh Hewitt’s interview with Attorney General, Jeff Sessions on the subject of illegal immigration. In fact I couldn’t believe my ears when Hewitt argued on the basis of unfounded compassion “for the children” who are separated from their parents when apprehended at the border, to which Mr. Jeff Sessions replied, their is no compassion when children are separated from their parents when parents are headed for prison!  I made the same observation in a recent essay on the subject.

Mr. Hewitt assumed a “compassionate conservative” attitude about the poor illegal immigrants children being taken (snatched) away from their parents at the borders. During the interview he persisted in tempting AG Sessions to express a level of compassion too .He did not.  AG Sessions held his ground on the basis of the law.and rightly pointed out that the majority of those children were teens or young adults anyway.

Hugh Hewitt then asked: “There’s an organization called Kids in Need of Defense, and, they’re liberal activists, but they have a point that these children deserve representation, because many of them are eligible for asylum or refugee status. You’re the chief law enforcement officer. Are you guaranteeing that these 10,000 children have adequate access to legal counsel?” That entire premise is wrong. I contend, these people deserve no representation at our expense because they are stateless people and have no call for our protections. They are entitled to protection in custody, a bed, food and water and that’s it. That satisfies our moral duty.  

This whole illegal aliens business, has been turned into a touchy feely, sobbing exercise in unwarranted compassion for the ignorant masses crashing our borders. Permitting it relaxes our defenses and diminishes our security. The porous border with Mexico, due to its ease of passage, is a magnet for the worlds worst now including Chinese tongs, Islamic Jihadists, drug cartels, MS-13 gang members and who knows what other criminal types?

When caught, they’ve been coached to simply claim ‘amnesty’ and demand entry. Except for Cuban’s and maybe Venezuelans now, no other South American country’s citizens should expect “amnesty.” But, that problem can be solved if Congress, gets over it’s hand wringing deliberations on DACA, make claiming amnesty applicable only at US Ports of Entry and nowhere else. Illegal DACA children are still Stateless People. DACA was one of Obama’s “pen and phone’ deals, not supported by law, not ratified by Congress not agreed to by Americans, but, a feel good policy created out of thin air to up the Democrat voter rolls. Dispensing drivers licenses and voter ID cards to illegals, as California does, diminishes the very basis of our representative government, not to mention their drivers licenses in out of state jurisdictions.

Clearly Congress is disconnected from the will of the American people unable as they are to make a decision as the law provides, on stopping the invasion of America. Half of California’s Mexicans are against DACA because it steals from their legitimacy. On top of that, California is almost bankrupt yet the Progressive government still piles on more freebies for illegals.

Members of congress, whose only goal is their re-election, must face the demands of their constituents, for and against, amnesty. The majority is “anti” amnesty yet, the loudest screaming voices for amnesty and work authorizations, from the Left, will drive them to legalize millions of illegals who have no desire to become Americans, join our culture, or obey our laws, the will of the people be damned.  What an argument for term limits.

Short Takes – Are the Tea Party’s Moribund?

Opinion

Are the Tea Party’s Moribund?

“Associated Press declares Republican ‘Tea Party’ era has faded away…..” Hummn? Maybe, but I disagree with the premise asserted here by noting that pop-up, grass root political organizations like Tea Party’s, were mostly filled with aroused, angry people born in the 40’s and 50’s, who lived through the WW2 years and beyond, and enjoyed America’s post-war heyday of economic growth, prosperity and good living, only to see their parents achievements being replaced by the corrupting philosophy’s of national socialism, the same socialism their parents had just defeated. It was their parents who were the “Greatest Generation” and today, their children tend to get a bit tired after they’ve accomplished what they set out to do.   

Regardless of clearly commercial Internet Tea Party organizations that claim some primary roll over the movement, Tea Party’s were really local attempts to make a difference by people who realized their Representative were not doing what the base wanted but instead were spending without control and raising taxes to pay for it. Taxed Enough Already was the Tea Party’s mantra and still is. What they realized was, is that politics should not be a career choice.

Attending political meetings where you’re told what you already know and nothing really seems to get done, quickly loses its appeal. Most meetings are merely platforms for speech makers to energize the enthusiasm of the base to do one thing and one thing only, effect “term limits” one politician at a time and, that has been done.

Three successive national elections has completely changed the Congress from a majority of Marxist leaning Democrats and go along to get along Republicans happy not to have been kicked out by their constituents, to a majority of Republicans being pushed and cajoled by the few Tea Party members elected to replace dangerous democrats. More Changes are coming!

Time passes and enthusiasm wanes, but not the determination to make America great. The denizens of “fly-over” America have seen the results of their combined efforts to make the changes needed in the body politic. Enthusiasts, no matter how their called, Tea Party or GOP or whatever, have succeeded. The battle is joined.

At this moment, our President is Donald Trump, not a politician but a pragmatists, a doer who is doing what he promised he would and returning to Americans the pride they felt in their country that the previous administration apologized away. Weakness invites contempt. America is no longer weak.

The Tea Party movement encouraged a morose population of patriots to get off their butts and start changing their attitudes from defeatism and disheartening acceptance of the coming Socialism, to realizing the righteousness of America’s constitutional representative government, and connivence others to change their attitudes too. It worked in three successive elections.

Today, we see a rising tide of minority Americans of African descent realizing they have been kept on the lowest level of the economic plantation created by the Democrats, and are starting to rebel, despite what the Black Shirts of the Fascist anarchy movements, AntiFa and BLM, want. America is on the threshold of greatness and we need all our citizens involved in the task. That’s the promise Trump has brought us, and that’s the promise he’s keeping. Conservatives can no longer enjoy the policy of bipartisanship with an enemy that wants to destroy us.

Short Takes – Revealing the Coup

Opinion

A name rarely mentioned in this tawdry ‘coup’ against Trump business, is recently retired Admiral Mike Rogers, head of the NSA with the dual capacity as the Director of the newly forming Cyber Command. If I were asked to select a candidate for a “Profiles in Courage” award, it would surely be Admiral Rogers, followed by Rep. Devin Nunes..

Over a year ago, both of these men took independent action when they recognized that things were not kosher in Obama’s government after Hillary lost her sure bet election. Progressives reaction to their election loss was disastrous and what Mike Rogers did was unprecedented. In his capacity as head of the NSA, it was his responsibility to share NSA collected intelligence of special interest with the heads of the other Intelligence agencies, but particularly the CIA Director, John Brennan and the Director of National Intelligence DNI, James Clapper.

It was reported that Mike Rogers was reading some reports that crossed his desk that alarmed him by what they revealed. He immediately cancelled all appointments for the day, packed up his briefcase and in an unprecedented move, headed to NYC for a secret emergency meeting with President-Elect Donald Trump in Trump Tower on 08/11/16.  Adm. Rogers did not share the need for this secret emergency meeting with the CIA or the DNI, because clearly, they would have attempted to stop him.

The information he revealed to the President-elect was that Obama’s Intelligence Community, John Brennen and James Clapper, had launched a covert post election spying operation against Donald Trump, that included intercepting Trump’s communications in Trump Tower.

Readers may recall the very next day following that ‘secret’ meeting, Donald Trump claimed that his building had been ‘wired tapped’ and he immediately, moved the Trump organization out of Trump Tower, lock, stock and barrel, to another location accompanied by the hoots, hollers,  ‘harumps’ and derisive laughter of the Leftist media and, more importantly, the deep state.

Of course, hard wire intercepts of telephone communications (wiretaps) as were common in earlier decades, are no longer used as technology has quickly advanced far beyond those now antiquated methods. Today, cyber systems are now in vogue that sweep the ‘ether,’ collecting any and all data government computers deems necessary to save itself.

Among those important intercepts that crossed Adm. Rogers desk was information that clearly showed the newly elected president, Donald Trump, was being illegally surveilled in his Trump Tower Headquarters. When the laughter died down, sober faces suddenly realized the import of the disclosure. Day’s later, The Washington Post reported a recommendation, allegedly made in in “October,” that Mike Rogers should be removed from his NSA position & etc..

Obama’s heads in the Pentagon and the intelligence community, urgently recommended to President Obama that, Adm. Rogers, should be removed (fired) as the NSA. head. The panic was setting in, the consternation was complete, but Admiral Rogers maintained his loyalty, his dignity and his self-respect. Clearly, Mike Rogers didn’t want to be involved with the spying scheme which was Obama’s post presidency plan to save his legacy and prevent Trump from removing Obama’s embedded loyalists. Rogers unknown loyalty was a risk to the Obama objectives. He was not a swamp creature and the rest is history and it’s still in the making.

Short Takes – Coming Up, the SOTU

Opinion

Tonight, President Trump will give his first State of the Union speech. It should be a doozy. I
expect it to be a complete success because every speech Trump has made has been a signal
success, except to the Marxists acolytes of the media and the Democrat party.
The Democrat party is in disarray. As things are now going, with the departures of many “deep
state” congressmen and senators of both parties, plus the coming departures of many of the
higher echelons of the FBI and the DoJ, complicit in the pro-Hillary, anti-Trump cabal, reflects
that another of Trumps campaign promises is being fulfilled, draining the “Swamp.”
He will not mention these tawdry issues in his speech because the President is focused on
success. He will remind people of his successes with the growing economy, the reduction of the
regulation state, the collapse of Obamacare, the leveling of free trade policies and the legislative
horror that is illegal immigration being reconstructed on his terms. He will focus also on the
necessity of refunding the military to face off against the Islamic forces that endanger America.
This SOTU speech could actually be rather short because the media have already told us
what’s wrong with the present state of the Union claiming that it’s Trumps fault, but they can’t
argue against the growing success that really is Trumps fault. The media continues to deny that
the Democrats and Obama specifically, had any responsibility for the economic success
America is now experiencing.
Trump’s been in office one year and the economy shot off like a rocket. The incompetent,
feckless Obama stepped up and attempted to claim credit for it and was all but was laughed off
the stage. He’s as silly as Hillary and her “Never Ending Story,” who showed up to cheers at the
sad Grammy awards ceremony to continue her screed that she was cheated out of the
Presidency. She’s the gift that keeps on giving. The Grammys turned out to be a far left wing
televised Hollywood political rally to continue the assault on Donald Trump.
The left, under the leadership of the high ranking theologians of the church of Progressive
policy, Schumer, Durbin, Feinstein and Pelosi, are reeling in confusion wondering what’s
slapped them in the face. It was Trump and the SOTU speech should add fuel to the fire that is
consuming them.
I believe the President will be polite to the Democrats inviting them to help him solve the
immigration problem. Democrats will call, as they always do, for “comprehensive bipartisan
legislation” to help those “Dreamer” children remain here and become citizens. Trump will offer
the hand of agreement and they will refuse it. Schumer has already lost that battle but the
deranged far left will badger him into committing another error in calculation.
Trump is anything but stupid. He understands the power of words, maybe not how to use them
himself, but how others use them. “Comprehensive” is a word Trump knows simply means
capitulation to Democrat demands for amnesty. He will not going there.
Finally, the FISA memo may have been released by today. Trump will ignore it. He’s already
made his case against allegations of collusion and, the Mueller Investigation, apart from being
cluttered up with Hillary acolytes, is becoming a bore to the public. Time is on Trumps side. He’s
making America great again.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em.

Short Takes – Predictable Outrage – Stop SCOTUS

Opinion

Predictable Outrage – Stop SCOTUS

First, the good news: The danger of a youthful soccer team perishing in a monsoon filled cave deep in the jungles of Thailand after nearly two weeks, is now ended. All twelve boys and their leader have been rescued by the splendid efforts of Thai Navy divers and other volunteers. Sad that one diver died in the effort. To Democrats, it had to have been Trumps doing all along to deflect news of his programs successes to make America great again.

At the same time, a conservative candidate for the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the Washington DC Circuit, was introduced as the President’s choice to fill the seat of the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. Predictably, the street zombies on the left went into action, selecting the correct name signs from the prepared pile of signs already laid by to protest whoever of the four candidates Trump picked, was available to select from. Predictable!

In front of the Supreme Court, after the announcement, the outraged Left, encouraged by the elderly Bernie Sanders, issued a call for resistance to Trump’s government. The “Left” has gone completely “nuts.”  It does beg the question though, are the Progressive cohorts of the Left now willing to resort to violence to express their outrage? The growing body of evidence suggests that “yes” they will!. Fox New’s, covering the expected protest event in front of the Supreme Court, faced that very possibility. Predictable!

Senate minority leader, Chuckie Schumer, as expected, announced he would oppose Judge Kavanaugh’s selection, on principle. But, we knew that because he said he would oppose any of Trumps picks. The new slogan for the Progressive Democrats must be: “Remember Garland,”  Obama’s final choice for the Supreme Court who was totally ignored by the Republican Senate under Mitch McConnell’s leadership. Then came Gorsuch! Predictable!

President Trump praised his selection for his “impeccable credentials, unsurpassed qualifications, and a proven commitment to equal justice under the law.” Trump also urged Sen. majority leader, Mitch McConnell, to act swiftly to confirm Kavanaugh. It’s important to keep  pressure on the Democrats, first to make them reveal their animus to Trumps choice and to reduce campaigning time for Democrats in their districts, at least for those seeking re-election.

Can we next expect the Democrats to wheel out some skanky old broad who claims she had been the unwarranted victim of Kavanaugh’s sexual advances when they were in grammer school?  Wait for it. It’s coming as surely as elm blight comes in January.

The Left will focus “on the children” and will undoubtedly demand to know how the new Justice would rule of the government snatching children away from their parents at the southern border. They will say we have a border crisis. Let’s Stop for a moment. I want to ask why do we have a crisis on our southern border? Let’s make it a crisis on Mexico’s northern border instead.

The Democrats will demand to know Kavanaugh’s position on abortion, Roe vs Wade hovering in the background. He’s Catholic not that that matters anymore, but abortion, by any other words is “infanticide.”  To Democrats, mass scale killings is okay but separating children at the borders from their criminal parents is not. The Democrats face a conundrum. If they love little children and are prostrate learning about separating them, then why is it okay to kill children in the womb? If they don’t mind killing the unborn, why do they care about wayward foreign children at our border? Just asking? Democrat outrage is predictable. They are communists!Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (10Jul18)

Short Takes – A View of Revolutions

Opinion

A View of Revolutions

The Progressive media propagandists and Democrats, when unable to mount a viable argument supporting their version of why fascistic socialism is good for America, inevitably turn to name calling, their favorite being to call Conservatives Nazi’s. In their beady little minds that word encompasses racism, sexism, islamophobia, white privilege, etc., etc. & etc.

Of course, listening to their screeds, one immediately knows the Leftists don’t know what they’re talking about. They are in fact, describing themselves and apparently don’t know it. It’s because they already have ruined our educational systems where these things should be learned, turning out instead, little socialists who will go where directed, do what they’re told and suffer the consequences, if any, all by themselves.  

Because we are entering the beginning phase of a serious social and cultural revolution, I had thought of framing what i see in terms of comparison to the French Revolution that was underway simultaneously with our own American revolution. The outcomes of both were completely different. The French violently overthrew their monarchy to replaced it with a Republic but, first came “The Terror” where anybody, on the simple accusation of an offended neighbor could face the guillotine. This was official anarchy, rule of law as the mob demands, pure democracy by definition. The Terror ended with the rise of a strong Corsican leader who organized the army, stopped the violence and installed a functional Republic free of violence.

When calling conservatives “Nazi’s,” what the Democrats don’t say is that Nazi’s came to power by the vote. Germans were desperate, their economy was in tatters, the world was in a depression and Germany was still paying war reparations while Bolsheviks were trying to organize control of Germany’s desperate population along Marx-Leninist principles. So were the National Socialists and the Weimar Republic. In other words, Hitler was legitimate and, even though he threatened and bullied his way into leadership, he was still elected by popular vote.

The Russian Revolution, like the French, was launched against the Monarchy. Like the French it too was violent but ended with a despot (Stalin) in control who murdered millions. The Chinese followed suit as did the Cambodians, the Vietnamese, the Cubans and now, even Venezuela. It’s precisely that type of government that Democrats want for America and when the flames of our revolution subside, they expect to be there to pick up the pieces. Nobody will complain.

But, things turned out different. Trump is the Napoleon of our Republic and the desperate Democrats are nearly prostrate with grief at the election loss of Dear Hillary. But, having learned under Obama that street violence will work if applied under some “civil rights” meme, they are turning to confrontation as their final battle plan. Obama designed his policies specifically to enrage a social and economic underclass against “the American nobility” whoever they are.

The mounting failures of the Progressive to socialize America is generating not only their own hate speech, but violent hate action as well by direct confrontations of Conservatives on the streets and in places. Let’s not forget the rising assaults of police officers murdered while they sit in their patrol cars or respond to calls. The Progressive Democrats, now turning to physical violence to protest their loss, intend to generate more violence. It will continue, in rising crescendo, until police lose their fear of fighting back or of being hauled into court charged with some nonsense about being too aggressive. We need to reclaim the streets again before the Progressives really get organized with their zombie battalions.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (09Jul18)

Short Takes – A Return to the Draft? A Memorial Day Thought

Opinion

Suggestions are swirling again about a return to the draft. For those born after the 1960’s, the draft was compulsory military service for two or more years. Throughout America’s history from the Civil War to Vietnam, different rules governed who was drafted, how one could get a deferment or a buy out, or get a political commission to work his time on a staff. That was all rife for abuse, and, it was abused.

Deferments were applied to account for medical reasons like, say flat feet and lung diseases, but a medical officer at the induction stations would make that decision. If you got your notice, you had to show up for induction and if you passed, your life changed forever.

Political deferments for celebrities, politicians and sons of politicians, like Ted Kennedy, were created while many others, stood up, begging their way into uniform. John Kennedy and his older brother did so. They weren’t famous then but their father had been US Ambassador to the UK. Hollywood stars flocked to the ranks during WW2 and did their duty as the government needed, including combat.

The draft was a numbers system, most draftees going into the army. With usable skills, one could be enrolled in a technical program for training as a mechanic, medic, or radio operator, otherwise, it was into one of the combat arms, Infantry sucking up the most. Only a few draftees ever went into the US Marine Corps or the Navy, because they filled their needed quota’s with volunteers. Many escaped the draft by school deferments and some when drafted, ran away to hide. During the Vietnam war, it was to Canada.

Many, eager to fight, volunteered to join a combat arm. That’s where the action was. For many, it wasn’t until they were covered with blood, sweat and the brains of their buddies, that they realized the awful truth about combat. It’ was then when a boy became a man and what he experienced would stay with him for the rest of his life. Every Memorial Day reveals more of these stories as the old Vet’s pass away.

Since 9/11, the military has had no problem filling its ranks with volunteers.These patriotic young people, with a few exceptions like Bowie Bergdahl, stay the course and remained loyal active members of their units. Many re-enlist to continue the fight and many comeback without limbs, emotionally traumatized or forever needing care. Some alas, never come back.  

America celebrates these fighters twice a year, Memorial day and Veteran’s day when the sacrifices of our military men and women are recognized and honored. How many people do you see today stand to attention when the American flag passes in review? Veterans always do. It’s honor and sacrifice.

The problem with a return of the draft today is that most of our youths are not qualified. They have been subverted by an education system, its teaching ranks filled with the anti-war radicals from the 1960’s, like the Clintons. Our schools have failed to educate our young people about Americas traditional values and why we fight, or have lied about our history making it hateful. That’s a sad but true fact. The one great pool of true Americanism, the Boy Scouts, is being perverted into a potential pool for pedophiles.

Do we need a return to the military draft? I don’t think so! To recreate a program that expects its personal to perform, even to die on a battlefield, but turns many of them into deserters requiring efforts by the military to keep them, was never good for moral. Cowards in the ranks reveal themselves quickly and their whining can bring the moral of a whole unit down to their level of defeatism. Too, a new draft would now necessarily demand the inclusion of our daughters. Those that want to go, can do so now. Those that don’t, should stay home and tend the home fires. Today, on this Memorial Day,  just be thankful Hillary Clinton’s not President. That’s worth cheering about.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! Hug a soldier today and have a happy Memorial day event. (26May18)

“And, Here Comes Baraky! “

Opinion

Sorry, but using Johnny Carson’s stage entry line as a metaphor in an essay may be a bit churlish but damn it, it fits. That cheap schmuck Barak Obama simply couldn’t stand it anymore and had to come clambering back onto the political stage like he was really wanted.

 

Trumps robust America, almost out of the starting gate, is more that any marxist should have to endure. Barak’s brand of economic and social Obamaism that we endured for eight long miserable years, produced nothing meaningful for American except to apologize for Americas needed role of world leadership, import Islam, throw open our borders to the worlds peasants (voters), destroy American culture and kill American production and freedom by high taxes and over regulation. In the end, all he created was a “Deep State”  that is struggling for its very survival under Trumps incessant pounding. After all, the State must be preserved at all costs.

 

So here comes Barak, the slick tongued, greasy used car salesman and community organizer, trying to claim credit for Trumps instinctive economic triumphs. He no longer apologizes for Americans supposed failures, but denigrates Trumps robust economy as actually the result of his policies of onerous regulation and oppressive taxation. They would have come to full bloom if only he had had a few more months. He trashes Trumps foreign policy as dangerous and war-mongering but his own policies, leading from behind, proved more dangerous to a stable world.

Comparisons in leadership, which he promotes, cannot stand comparison.

 

So, as expected, Obama slithered out of his dark hole to protect his legacy. Yes, he has one but its a legacy of failure in social, economic, political and foreign policy. According to Obama’s calculations, Trumps robust economy, the low unemployment numbers, higher incomes and jobs for all, wasn’t really the product of that awful Donald Trump, but was an economy he had primed and ready to spring upon the world if he had had just one more term. Oh, really?

 

Obama still draws a crowd of college students, but they don’t scream and holler like Trumps crowds do. His admirers cling to the hope that only Obama’s brand of Socialism can possibly succeed for America. Yet, the democrat party is morphing right before our eyes into something potentially dangerous if Conservatives don’t take to the stage as well to kill the dragon.

 

The Democrat Party is caught between a rock and a hard spot because the old socialists that made up the party for decades and have run the party into the ground, still retain leadership despite the dementia we see creeping in. They are now being challenged by an even more radical left-wing brand of Marxists in the guise of ignorant young millennials heartened by Bernie Sanders near success at achieving the 2016 Democrat nomination. They bought into the ‘entitlement for all’ notions, are not taking kindly to the current elderly democrat leadership.

 

Their disappointment was when it was revealed that Sanders was beaten out of the nomination by the skullduggery of Hillary’s Democrat machine, and that will not be forgiven. The new Marxist even have their own “shock troops” in the guise of Antifa’s and BLM’s for street deployment. And their politicians, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, et. al, are there to stir the pudding of what was once gentlemanly political debate.

 

America faces a crisis. The Marxists can still count enough voters, even dead ones, to change the character of local politics if conservatives don’t stay prepared. We must get out and vote. We cannot drop our guard or our America can be snatched back into the jaws of growing tyranny. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get’m! (09Sep18)

Short Takes- Big Government, What Is It?

Opinion

Big Government, What is It?

What the hell is going on up there? Mueller’s attempts to bring down Donald Trump because the “Left” demands it is a fiasco, a total mishmash of lies, innuendos, false reports, foreign spies and traitorous Obama administration officials at the highest levels of the FBI, CIA, DIA and DOJ, doing everything in their power to strip Americans of their prize, the swamp drainer in the White House. It’s the Deep State walking all over themselves trying to prove one thing while proving the other. Trump didn’t do it and Hillary did. So there!

This whole tawdry business of leftist political dysfunction, all because they thought the criminal, Hillary Clinton would be a “shoe in” for president instead of the Bronx Buffoon, Donald Trump, is telling. Conservatives must festinate the demise of the Democrats.

The evidence against Clinton’s criminality is so transparent, so pervasive and so prima facia conclusive that it’s incredible she’s not already in the dock. This includes her entire plethora of criminal hangers-on and job seekers willing to suborn their souls for socialism. It has already permeated the ranks of those we call the “Deep State” or the regulatory state, or the federal bureaucracy, however you wish to call it. The deep state also includes the world’s International banks, the military-Industrial complex, as “Ike” warned us to be aware of, and the education-union collaboration, among other corrupted groups. Follow the money.

The Deep State is the sole creation of Congress, several decades of ‘em in fact, a collection of bickering adolescents unable to do the job the Constitution has outlined for them. Instead, being too busy, they authorized the creation of countless bureaus, agencies and departments, each empowered to make the thousands of pages of rules and regulations in the Federal Register designed to control us, rob us of our freedoms and enslave us to big government.

The Left attacks us through political correctness on several fronts: the threats of climate change, racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, hate crimes, white privilege and the fearful armed citizen who stands in the way of their takeover control of a subdued America’s economic engine.

They fear armed Americans. As for climate change, any geologist or paleontologist can tell us about the earth’s history of climate change by just looking at fossils and exposed rock strata’s. Thats a non story. As for “Gun Control” that’s a protected right given to us in our constitution and must be defended at all costs, yet, the Left continues to attack the one thing they fear, freedom.

Conservatives must argue that the “Left” wants us disarmed, not because of school shootings or the odd murder or robbery. Those are mere tactics. Shootings won’t stop regardless of any more gun law, so confiscation is their answer. When we’re disarmed, we can’t protect ourselves from the hoodlums, gang members and car jackers who ignore the laws anyway.

If they succeed, the unarmed citizen, no longer able to defend himself, will have to demand government protect them and they can’t. Being armed is our right but how we feel about exercising that right doesn’t matter to them. it becomes clear that our “rights” as given to us by our Founders, are unalienable. The “Deep State” permits government to allow or rescind gun possession not upon the whims of a majority opinion (democracy) but by law.

Elections count and the socialist hoard of young millinials now clambering to become politicians have already drunk the “Kool Aide” of socialist poison that threatens our existence. Beware! Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (03Aug18)

Short Takes – A Divided America, What’s the Cure?

Opinion

America has long been divided by two contending political philosophies, one created in the firm belief in the god given rights of man through self determination and possession of private property, among others, the inalienable anchors of representative freedoms. The other, a scheme that clings to the Marxist inspired idea that people would be happier when embraced by the comforting arms of a collectivist, benevolent government, in the guise of the Democrat Party.

Into the midst of this conflict of ideas, stepped the most totally corrupt entity to ever enter American politics, the Clintons, man and wife, neither Marxists or Constitutionalists but criminals singularly dedicated to exploiting political divisions for their own self-aggrandizement. Their vehicle to wealth accumulation, power and corruption was through America’s political process.  

America’s ill’s will never ever heal until Americans are assured at last, that the entire apparatus of the Clinton’s odious pay to play, personal wealth grabbing, political corrupting, self aggrandizing, treasonous machine is dismantled and she, her husband and all their acolytes stand in the dock to account for their crimes. Only then, will we know the cure has started.

The political struggle has been going on for decades with Socialist-Marxism in the ascendency, until Donald Trump. Trump hasn’t been scheming for years to be President, but is a total newcomer to the governing process because he had finally arrived at his own breaking point. Trump saw that Americas conversion into Socialism was near total and irrevocable. It was his trigger to believe the instauration of American politics was required and he could do it.

So, what does it mean to be a Republican then? Until Trump, absolutely nothing! Republicans, long wanderers in the political wilderness, bought into the socialists agenda for so long that capitulation was considered the norm. No debate, no arguments, just go the Democrats way. The word “bipartisanship” camouflages the exploitative nature of conflicting powers allegedly governing together. Republicans constantly fumbled aways their voters desires to keep America great. They were enjoying their “bipartisanship” and the rewards that came with it. Their greatest trick, as the cliche goes: was their ability to “snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.“ Until Trump!

Trump’s not a Republican and definitely not a Marxist but he’s a wealth creating businessman, a capitalist who convinced us he had the skills to Make America Great Again. He knows how to negotiate and the problems left us from eight years of Obama’s amateurish leadership, his inherent weaknesses and policies of appeasement, is being challenged face on and renegotiated to the screams and laminations of the spavined Democrat party.

Trump came as a champion. Americans, awakened by the Leftist threat, but lacking leadership and not knowing how to confront it, organized into ’quaint’ political groups, were quickly derided by the media and Deep State practitioners of elitism. The result, victory of conservatism in three successive national elections pushing the Democrat party into near oblivion.

The Republicans are starting to do what we have long wanted and what Trump is pushing them to do: expect political success in the face of tough resistance. Lacking an effective strategy for defeating the Democrats, without being pushed from behind, is slowing the process. Americans are resilient, slow to anger but fierce when pushed. The Democrats plotting against Americans in favor of illegals proves they are morally bankrupt and lack any vision to see America as Americans want it. The changes will be painful but in the end, America will be great again.

Remember, Freedom is thew goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em!

Short Takes – Schemer’s Shutdown, The Dirty Secret

Opinion

Schumer’s Shutdown, The Dirty Secret.

The Schumer Shutdown was a calculated ‘game of chicken,’ two objects, amnesty for illegals vs. building a wall, objects hurtling headlong at each other to an inevitable collision. For one side to achieve success the other side must give up, move away and yield the field. Failure to do so should be like the immovable object meets the irresistible force, a smash up of incalculable violence unless, of course, one of the objects was squishy. Hummn?

The calculation has always been predictably the same, with the same outcome, Democrats win, Republicans lose. But not this time. No, this time one of the energy forces was Donald Trump, not a Republican, but definitely a leader. The Republicans haven’t enjoyed real adult supervision like this since Ronald Reagan but, they haven’t yet moved to embrace Trump.

Schumer, secure in his arrogant insouciance, called for a government shutdown and Trump didn’t respond!  He all but laughed off Schemers threats, ignored alarming the public and very efficiently hung the shutdown debacle around Schemers neck, and it drug him down.

The media was shocked by Trump’s handling of the “Dreamer” negotiations. “Why, that was not how the game was to be played.” But nobody told Trump. Negotiations are supposed to be conducted between the political parties, a consensus arrived at and a bipartisan bill placed upon the President’s desk that he was expected to sign. Not this time. Trump made campaign promises and he expects to fulfill them. The non-Republican President already knew what he wanted, and he told them so. The mere political expectation for the usual order for things, heretofore designed to meet Democrat demands, amnesty for all without a wall, simply wouldn’t pass muster for President Trump. Shock, OMG!

Trump didn’t get involved in the detailed negotiations, he simply told them he would have the wall before any amnesty for illegals would even be considered. Schemer thought he could call Trump’s bluff, with the American people behind him. But Trump wasn’t bluffing. It took two days for Schumer to realize that Americans weren’t with him after all and he give up, a first!

Schumer’s dirty little secret in this game of chicken is the dangers of underestimating Donald Trump. For over the first full year of his presidency, Trump has continuously demonstrated his ability to connect with the people on all the issues the politicians ignore. Trump is absolute in trusting his instincts and he knew he would prevail because he understands the peoples gestalt far better than poll takers, precinct workers and the fake news media.

More importantly, Trump clearly doesn’t trust Republican leadership either, locked as they have been for so long in the policy of failure. We see changes here with Paul Ryan realizing where genuine conservative leadership comes from and adjusting his position in the House. Mitch McConnell is slowly coming around too. The taste of victory is sweet and delicious. The taste of failure, a first for Democrats, is like the bile rising up from an upset stomach.

What is Trump’s secret? First, he doesn’t even try to appease the NYT or Washington Post or, more especially, CNN.  He doesn’t need their approval because nothing he could do, short of quitting, would ever earn their respect. Instead he attacks them as the purveyors of fake newsies and propaganda they have become and therefore he delegitimizes them as trustworthy sources of real news. The people love it and Trump knows it. We can’t afford to lose this man, he’s a fighter!
