Misusing Language
Opinion January 27, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
Democrats are practiced in the art of circumlocution. They say one thing then claim they meant another. They change word definitions to fit their narrative, hide them in a flurry of rhetoric and then shamelessly move on to the next lie or problem they create.
In case they didn’t get the message, they have also lost three elections in a row. Judging by the incredulous, vituperative reaction to Trumps presidency, now being harmlessly showered down on a Trump who doesn’t really care, I think the Democrats days are probably numbered. Trump vanquished them, completely and he sweeps on while they’re trying to figure out their next plot to undermine him. Their message doesn’t resonate any more. Donald Trump was elected by Americans who believe his policy proposals will reverse years of economic decline brought on by, among other things, Obama’s overregulation, overspending and mismanagement.
The rising level of opprobrium belongs to the Democrats alone. Their propaganda machine, the MSM, is itself now under serious attack by Trump while it flails away at the wrong issues. Trump doesn’t play the game their way. By ‘tweets’, he chums them and they rise to his bait. To us, he speaks simply, in clear words and then follows up on his pledges and they can’t keep up. All this tawdry unpleasantness simply because the Left don’t know what is and is not the truth anymore, unless it’s the truth that fits their socialist agenda. We’re not listening!
Here’s an example of media driven fake news. The Weekly Standard, still clinging to their “Never Trump” mantra, would have us believe that the mass State Department resignations of senior officials must signal a loss of confidence in Trumps administration. An interesting point, since Trump hasn’t hardly even got started yet. In fact, their resignations are pro forma when a change of administrations occurs. As presidential appointees, they serve at the pleasure of the President, not the Civil Service. The resignation letters submitted by Obama’s appointees, Progressive all, after the election, were legal and accepted immediatelyTrump was sworn in. They weren’t fired! Interestingly, the last time the US Government experienced such a mass loss of employees involved in foreign diplomacy was at the Little Big Horn.
Such change Is good for the government, good for realigning our foreign relations priorities and good for setting the parameters for knowing who is really for us and who isn’t. Doubtless, good relations with other governments, including the several sanctuary cities and counties in America, are critical to our own security as a country. American’s see that, the Left doesn’t and frames their dissent in terms of hate words, i.e.: we are racist, homophobic, islamaphobic, & etc. Their power to instill fear with twisted language is fast ebbing.
These Short Takes essays you read are exercises in anti-circumlocution. One can show a level of intellectualism without verbosity. When published, they are limited to filling one page with basic truths, free of peripheral nonsense that say’s nothing. They are direct and to the point! To achieve that end, I always have at hand three essential books: a book of Synonyms, a Thesaurus and a Dictionary. Searching for the best word(s) that succinctly explains my thoughts, eliminates the boring and mind numbing verbosity that the Left uses to explain their ‘truths’. Winston Churchill is my literary example. I confess also, that I am occasionally aided by a friend who apparently has a dictionary too.
What do you call 68 democrats who refuse to attend a Presidential inauguration?….. A good start! Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, Let’s help Trump make America Great again. Trump can’t do it alone. Let him lead. (27 Jan 2017)
Dysfunctional Changes
Opinion March 14, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
Frenetically challenged as she is, former Democrat House Speaker Nancy, “you’ve got to vote for it to see what’s in it” Pelosi, insists on proving the old axiom “everyone only thought she was an idiot, until she opened her mouth and removed all doubt.” Of course the biggest disaster is that even after the disastrous November election results, Democrats still insisted on retaining her in the leadership. Will the gifts never end?
Nancy simply cannot resist dashing in front of a bank of microphones and TV cameras to either show off her latest botox injections of simply babble on with the usual Democrat nonsense about Republicans wanting to steal food from little children, kill Seniors and transfer wealth from the poor to the very rich. She has opened the door for serious inquiry, if we’re interested.
The Democrats have used those exact same words and phrases for over forty years to demonize Republicans, set the political agenda and create the illusion that everybody loves socialism. Nothing’s changed except, the people have caught on and realize they don’t love socialism and it’s the Democrat Party that has all the millionaires in it stealing from the poor and giving to themselves.
How much is Nancy Pelosi worth? How about $196,299,990.* Trump came into the job already wealthy beyond imagination and many of his Cabinet Secretaries, the important ones, are also wealthy beyond belief and they didn’t hide it. They didn’t steal it either.
The mud upon which the Democrat economic foundation for Americas future was constructed, is drying out and will soon, of its own accord, collapse as it was intended as evidenced by the Obamacare debacle. The ACA, of course, was not a mistake but was intentionally designed to fail thus requiring government, and its capitalist cronies, to irrevocably grasp a 14% share of America’s economy. It was a tight race between the ACA’s endemic failure and sustaining that economic failure until the expected election of Hillary Clinton. After that, the ACA would be forever cemented into Americas economic foundation forever.
The awful truth, as we know, was that Donald Trump, supported by a vast right-wing conspiracy of Tea Partiers, changed the dynamics of the Socialist plan for America. Trumps election threw a monkey wrench into all Democrat plans for their future. In a final act of desperation, Obama and his lapdog agencies, filled the books with exhaustive rules and regulations, most of which will be swept away by President Trump.
But, the dangers still exist. We may still be witness to “#NeverTrump” Republicans using the new repeal and replace HealthCare bill House Speaker Paul Ryan introduced, as a delaying tactic so the insurance Industry can rearrange their positions to keep the money flowing in. Making health insurance affordable and available for everyone should be the goal. Government doesn’t need to be involved at all except to watch for waste, fraud and abuse.
We must beware the hidden government, those in place organisms of self-gratification that all governments endure, like the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about. They will fight to survive. So many new elements, like chemical molecules, have attached themselves to the governments DNA that untangling the web, held together by money and corruption, will be difficult to untangle. Trump may have the answer to untiring the Gordian Knot, one that appeals to his base, just chop it open with a strong willed determination. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em. (13Mar17)
Missing the Clues
Opinion November 15, 2016
Opinion by George McClellan:
The Democrats, the Clinton’s especially, totally underestimated the wrath of the American people by ignoring the political, economic and social problems so clearly revealed by the elections of 2012 and 2014 that returned the Congress into Republican hands.
Those millions of “little people” not within that special circle of “Royal” favor, by either purchase , grace and favor or intimidation, finally made their voice heard and their anger manifest on this past 8 November. They hate the royalty, the special favors class and bankers.
This has happened before. Our own Revolutionary War, for example, lost the British King his American Colonies. The French revolution lost the French king his head and the Czar of Russia, and his family, we’re simply murdered in a house basement. Citizens once suffering under the heel of those respective despots, it was thought, were cowed enough by the presence in their midsts of the military and secret police, that their anger should not present a problem that couldn’t be controlled with a few hangings or beheadings by Guillotine.
The citizens of today’s society, the one now blissfully coming to a rapid close, were cowed by the enforcers of political correctness, criminal actions against dissenters by political functionaries already installed in local governments, and taunts of the screaming youths issuing forth from today’s liberal colleges and universities. Many of these intellectuals doubtless aspired to leadership rolls in the Clinton’s royal government. Now, they had better fine real jobs.
America once prided itself on its freedoms and boundless opportunities for anyone willing to try to get ahead. None of these things have existed in the past decade except to our new royalty. The wealthy, many made so by their associations with a corrupt government, live well in their palaces, often by impoverishing the rest of us. It has happened many times in history.
My friend, Joe McCutchon and I anticipated Trump’s election simply by understanding the states where he devoted his greatest attention and especially by the crowd turnouts at his rallies. That was one poll totally ignored by the royal pundents. The sainted one’s who toasted themselves with expensive wines and dinners that cost as much to attend as some men’s whole annual salaries, didn’t see it coming. Something had to be done, and it was.
The changes coming will not be good for socialism. It will hurt, like a deep splinter being pried out of a finger. But, they must feel the pain. There is no growth without effort and pain is an essential part of the experience. Trump said he would drain the swamp. That swamp is deep and full of muck but drained it must be. Let’s hope the EPA doesn’t get in the way by stopping the draining because of the endangered species who live there.
American’s would be aghast if we knew that the Clinton’s royal, and the Obama usurpers, suddenly found themselves facing a death chamber, a firing squad or the scaffold. But, deep inside we would say, “Oh yeah! But that’s not the American way. Prison terms, followed by a life in penury will generally satisfy our need for retribution on the truly greedy.
As we see on todays post-election streets, the violence the media calls “peaceful demonstrations,” is left to the minions of the progressive left. Their assumptions for the future have been dashed. They show their frustrations, as they always do, rioting, looting and burning, but especially by physically assaulting white people whose autos bear Trump Stickers.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em and help Trump make America great again. (15 Nov 2016)
Islam’s Evil Protectors
Opinion June 6, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
Even following the outrageous Islamic terrorists attacks in the UK in the name of Allah, remarks by British Prime Minister Teresa May still shows hesitation to admitting the obvious. Not all muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are muslims. She is getting close but she’s not there yet. Sadly, like most other western politicians, she still insists that there is a place for Islam within the framework of Western Democracy….actually, no, there isn’t!
The Muslim Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has gaffed off the latest attack as “no cause for alarm” because it’s becoming the new normal for people living in vibrant western cities and that the people living there (us infidels) should get use to it. How about us infidels randomly going about attacking muslims in vibrant western cities and making that the new normal? Let’s see if Mayor Sadiq wants to get used to it.
So far, except for one Portland, Oregon attack on a commuter train by a true white nationalist, virtually all other alleged attacks against muslims have been fake news committed by muslims themselves. And yet, the radical Progressive leadership in those cities, like Portland, Ore., San Francisco and Seattle, Wa., to name just a few, continue the charade of governing by inviting their citizens to unconcernedly move blissfully on with their daily labors as if nothing will happen.
It cannot be said often enough, Islam is incompatible with western Democracy and its very presence here is an affront to our common sense. The Political Left insist that everyone is equal, except white people who are directly responsible for Islamic terrorism. The have made it almost a criminal act to want to defend ourselves from Islamic perpetrators. We are told that Islam, the religion of peace, is now an internal part of the American fabric and therefore constitutionally protected and so we must get used to that too. Jihadists are like rattlesnakes that must be eradicated, not encouraged to nest, reproduce and takeover.
The continued presence of those rattlesnakes (Islam ) in the West, isn’t working. Most of us know the dangers but we’re afraid of being accused of being “islamaphobic’s.” I ask, what’s wrong with that? I suffer from a rattlesnake phobia and will kill them whenever they rattle in my presence. Who say’s we can’t be Islamaphobic too? Why must we wait until attacked before we can defend ourselves? The radicals will scream that makes us paranoid. Perhaps, it does, but just because we’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re still not out to get us.
US Rep. Clay Higgins, (R-La.) has bravely opened the necessary dialogue on this important subject. After all the screams, shrieks and rending of garments finally dies down perhaps we can figure out a way, in discourse, to save the Constitution. Rep. Higgins posted: “all of Christendom” is at war with “Islamic horror” and all “radicalized Islamic suspects” should be hunted and killed.” A former Police Captain Higgins won 56% of the Republican runoff vote in Louisiana parishes that went for Trump.
Whether one is a Christian, Jew or Hottentot, it makes no difference to Islam. They hate us all and will force the submission of every citizen to the will of Allah, death or slavery. It;s as simple as that. As Rep. Higgins posted: “The free world… all of Christendom… is at war with Islamic horror. Not one penny of American treasure should be granted to any nation who harbors these heathen animals. Not a single radicalized Islamic suspect should be granted any measure of quarter. Their intended entry to the American homeland should be summarily denied. Every conceivable measure should be engaged to hunt them down. Hunt them, identify them, and kill them. Kill them all. For the sake of all that is good and righteous. Kill them all.” (06June17)
The New Estate
Opinion May 12, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
I’m coming around to a concept that, because it is so near it can’t really be seen except when some significant event should occur that draws specific attention to itself. That significant event is the continuing dismay over Donald Trump’s election. It is the bizarre fact that the new CPUSA, or whatever one wishes to call it, no longer resides within the bosom of the Democrat Party, i.e.: Schumer, Pelosi and company, but in the colossus that is the floundering main street media, the forth estate so to speak, particularly the cable networks. They have rallied from their shock and are pushing the marxist narrative, the Democrat party be damned.
The raging demands of White House reporters, editorial staffs, commentators, essayists and etc., appear to be in unison, dedicated to destroying Donald Trump or neutralizing any appointment he makes, any E.O. he signs and challenging any statement he offers. They don’t wait for Chuckie Schumer or Nancy Pelosi to pontificate on issues, but force them into making absurd comments, then running with their own commentary anyway. Anderson Cooper and Rachael Madcow are but two good examples, not to mention the awful example of disrespect Lester Holt of ABC showed to the President in his one on one interview.
The Comey firing presents the latest example of media dysfunction. The media expect certain reactions to follow predictable outcomes and when they don’t get them, they manufacture ‘em. All agree Comey usurped the authority of Attorney General, Loretta Lynch in his confirmations of Hillary Clinton’s high crimes and misdemeanors then telling the world she lacked intent, and therefore would not be prosecuted, while at the same time sending other classified document offenders off to prison for lesser, but still serious offenses.
American’s, who voted Trump for President, see no justice here. They see that media corruption is as rampant as the establishments and are perplexed that the media does nothing to help the President press his winning promise to drain the swamp, but actually gets in his way by spreading fake news, lies and innuendos, challenging his every decision, remark and action like he’s an uninformed idiot. The media is the new enemy of constitutionalism since the old Democrat party is but a vague shell of itself, a mere shadow on the wall of political events, ineffective, redundant and obsolete. But, not wanting to appear as anything other than a fair “news source,” the media pretends to be concerned with events, while at the same time they drive them or worse, create them. Republicans are clueless on how to respond.
Sundays cable news shows, starting with Chris Wallace on Fox, and Chuck Todd on his channel, and others, want to appear to be objective in their lines of inquiry but whenever they meet the slightest opposition by a ‘guest’ they are interrogating, they push back with a degree of vehemence we’re unaccustomed to seeing. Interviewers should at all costs be phlegmatic but Wallace has even gotten testy when his assumptions are challenged and worse, when they are denied. His body language in his chair is a dead give-away, reinforced by overrunning the guest speaker with one new question after another leaving the question, not the answer to hang as a truth. It all appears to be an attempt at “gorkking” that satisfies only the interviewer who can then assume viewers agree with him. “Sorry, The matter is settled because time has expired.”
I like Reince Priebus as an interviewee. He doesn’t take any crap off Wallace the several times I’ve seen him and indeed, he’s the only one so far, that makes Wallace squirm in his seat for a better launching position, one supposes, for his next stupid question. It’s from the arena of public concern that changes must come. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (12May17)
Here Comes John (Kasich)…Again
Opinion June 5, 2017
Opinion by George McClellan:
Not ignoring the continued Islamic attacks against western culture, other items of importance reveal themselves that should be addressed. I’m referring to the continued scheme by pushy Ohio Governor John Kasich, indefatigable champion of global warming, to position himself as the primary challenger to Donald Trump in 2020 and place the elite driven, corrupt American government he so loves (the swamp), into his capable hands. John knows the way! Hummn?
He made the usual perfunctory comment by a nobody, about the most recent Islamic London Bridge attack: “We stand in solidarity with our great ally and send our prayers across the Atlantic, Now more than ever we must strongly keep the trust of our allies.” The “strongly keep the trust of our allies,” bit was Kasich’s dig at President Trump’s abandoning the silly Paris Peace accord. Specifically, The Ohio Governor said:
”Rather than withdrawing the United States from the climate agreement and relinquishing our historic role of world leadership (Obama already did that,Trump reclaimed it), the Trump Administration should have worked to improve the treaty from within (how?). Continuing, he added: “Let’s be clear. I wasn’t happy with the original agreement, (a sop to conservatives) especially in light of the Obama administration’s failure to work with Republicans in Congress on terms acceptable to both parties.” “But, I know that climate change is real.” (It’s called weather John, and fuzzy thinking like that should kill your campaign right there) “It is a global issue and will need a global agreement to address.” (it’s only an issue to believers in global wealth redistribution). “And we could have (re)negotiated that agreement in ways that would not needlessly destroy jobs” (Clearly, Kasich has bought into the fake news of American job loss when just the opposite is true). “The Trump Administration could have shown leadership by working to improve the agreement”: (It did! He took us right out of it).
“The largest emitters of greenhouse gases (China & India) could have been asked to commit to concrete, obligatory reductions in emissions”; (they were, and they declined)
“The agreement could have targeted the root cause of global warming greenhouse gas emissions, (from what source, the sun or those hundreds of pesky volcanoes?), instead of an indirect measure such as aggregate global temperature; and….
More thorough analysis of the costs and the benefits could have provided greater assurance that jobs were not unnecessarily being put at risk. (It has been done John, by Conservatives not agenda driven radical marxist numbers crunchers) “A properly negotiated agreement could actually have ended up driving innovation and creating jobs.” (Dealing with EU leftists leaders will never happen. Besides, innovation and creativity are not government jobs).
“By withdrawing from the agreement, the Administration has passed up an opportunity both to expand U.S leadership in clean energy technology and to create well-paid American jobs with a future.” (Green energy policy is not a government function as Obama’s pet project failures proved. If people want it they’ll buy it. If it cannot compete in the market place, without government interference, then it’s not wanted. This is the very essence of Americanism).
America cannot afford a return to Kasich’s idea of Americanism. American’s are not for a One World Government either. We can’t afford it and we don’t need it. It’s unamerican after all.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (5Jun17)
Will You Return it – Please?
Opinion November 12, 2016
Opinion by George McClellan:
Everybody has an idea about the things they think Donald Trump should do on day one. My preference would be a simple task, call the British PM and ask her if the British people would consent to returning the bust of Sir Winston Churchill so callously discarded by Obama eight long insufferable years ago. At least he gave it to the British Ambassador and didn’t publicly smash it to bits with a hammer.
That act alone would set a positive tone for those American’s who reluctantly voted for Trump on the off chance he may be right and did indeed have serious, positive changes in mind to restoring America’s republican government. And, it would also infuriate the far-left, with a reminder of what America was and from where our Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence really originated. It didn’t originate in Mecca.
The left-wing hysteria now visible on the streets of urban America, reflects the true inner core of the Progressive machine, filled with whiners and ‘snowflakes’ incapable of handling rejection.
Expressions of violent angst lies in the angry street demonstrators trashing other peoples property. Those with a more violent bent are satisfied with simply beating up old white people with Trump stickers, trashing their vehicles and stealing from stores.
Manifest in all this is the glaring fact that the Democrat party and its far, left-wing philosophy, is obviously bereft of any depth of leadership. It lacks people with any imagination or cognitive thinking skills. The Party’s current leadership has disgraced itself by actively supporting the worse possible candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton, against all other contenders.
Who’s left to lead the party? Donna Brazile? Nope, she was already attacked in a post election DNC meeting and accused of personally being responsible for the Democrats defeat. Poor Howard Dean, do you remember him? He was once a governor and DNC Chairman, and a candidate for president. He was like a loose cannonball rolling around on their ships deck, but he still makes news and he has stepped forward, once again, to offer to run the DNC. Pitiful!
Clearly, their are no candidates for DNC leadership emerging from the swamp of Progressivism. NY Senator, Chuckie Schumer won’t do it. He‘ll be the new Senate (Dem.) minority leader trying to rally his shocked troops to sabotage Trumps judicial appointments. A news report suggests Senator Keith Ellison, an American of African decent, and a muslim, is being promoted for the post. That would definitely ensure their many years in purgatory by telling Americans that
Islamophobia is still a crime not a self-defense mechanism.
I suspect Schumer is probably in shock himself and planning on going into therapy. Nancy Pelosi, will never see the House Speakers position again let alone the DNC Chairmanship. Look for them to give up and follow the odious Harry Reid into retirement. For a long while, the DNC will be absent any effective leadership and that will remain so long as they continue to embrace Socialism and all the other odious ideas the Democrat party have forced us to accept.
Like him or not, Donald Trump is the President-elect and the reverberations of the peoples will, will cause tremors, the sea’s to recede, and either a vast umbrella of gloom or the bright rays of sunshine to fall upon the land. Many things have been revealed by this election that will need to be addressed. The deplorable state of the products of our systems of education primary among them. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, let’s help Trump make America Great again and, return the bust of Winston, please! Now, go get ‘em! (12 Nov. 2016)
Will the Murders Continue?
Opinion June 1, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
We hear little about the investigation into the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich on the mean streets of Wash. DC following a Wikileaks expose´ that revealed systemic cheating by the DNC against Bernie Sanders and, other juicy revelations. Will the murders continue? Yes they have!
Of all the media sources I connect with, only the Maine Republic has so far reported another similar homicide, in Miami, Fl.. The body of a young federal prosecutor, Brandon J. Whisenant Jr., investigating voter fraud allegations connected to Democrats, was found floating in the surf on a Miami beach last Wednesday. Like Seth Rich, he was not the victim of a mugging or robbery and, like Seth Rich, Whisenant was shot in the head. Where the murder occurred is so far unknown, but a bullet hole in his head eliminates the possibility of an accident.
Can it possibly be that democrats are actually the evil organization they appear to be? Do they have their own ‘Cheka’ (KMVD) hit squad like the early Bolsheviks in Soviet Russia did? Was the Clinton machine involved? Serious questions indeed. Because Whisenant was a US Attorney and worked out of the Miami AG’s major crimes unit, expect the FBI to go all in to solve this crime. Remember too, that the DoJ is under new management and murderous attacks against police, investigators and guards, especially Federal ones, will not be ignored or covered over by corrupt top level political leadership.
The overlooked issue here is voter fraud, a felony, often causally committed by enthusiastic supporters of one cause or another, but of late, mostly covered with Democrat fingerprints.
Donald Trump complained openly about suspected voter fraud and how it would affect the Nov. election. I believe he went to bed on Election night fully believing Hillary Clinton would win because of the fraudulent shenanigan’s Democrats were noted for. It was one reason Trump refused the media’s entreaties to pledge his support to the ‘winner.” Even the media thought the fix was in and badgered Trump for an agreement. He didn’t rise to the bait.
One of Trump’s first acts as President, not widely reported, was the establishment of a voter fraud commission to investigate voter fraud cases. This would be a function of the DoJ now under AG Jeff Sessions.They have now actually started investigating such claims and already one Asst. US Attorney involved in a Florida voter fraud inquiry was found awash on a Florida beach, a bullet hole in his head. Draining the Swamp has its price.
The focus of the investigations will be on the process of registration in federal elections, misuse of absentee ballots and will endeavor to discover what laws and policies adversely affect American voter confidence in the integrity of the election process. Also, to identify and charge those officials who work to undermine the voting process to ensure outcomes.
Recently, Nevada’s Secretary of State, discovered three cases of non-citizens voting in last year’s election and at least twenty-one non-citizens registered at the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles. North Carolina State Board of Elections found at least forty-one non-citizens cast ballots in 2016, plus four hundred and forty-one, who were felons still in jail. Also, twenty-four voted more than once and two voted under names of deceased family members. Two women in Colorado are charged with casting absentee ballots in someone else’s name.
This inquiry is also revealing voter fraud in Kansas, Illinois, Wyoming and Texas. One wonders where and when will the next murder(s) occur? The Justice Department, under Jeff Sessions, will go all out in resolving these crimes. All fingers point to the Democrats.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the constitution is the way. Now, go get ’em! (01 Jun 17)
Hitler Still Used as Propaganda
Opinion April 17, 2017
Opinion written by george McClellan
Fake news is calculated to spark outrage, change a narrative or alter our focus from a major issue to a non issue. It is a favorite tool of Leftist politicians, but yielded best by the Left-wing media, and always used against those who dissent from Progressive orthodoxy.
Paramount among them is to slather anyone who disagrees with them or their their indefensible ideas, as Hitler, or Hitler like or some form of Hitlerism intending, of course to invoke the memories of modern history’s most evil man, Adolph Hitler, aka: der Fuehrer.
I have received one or two such responses to my little essays in the past, some remarking that “I would have done Hitler proud.” Well, that simply won’t do, for many reasons. I don’t speak German. I’m a constitutional conservative, not a fascist. I don’t support ideas of National Socialism, including National Health. I don’t support the creation of private shock troops within America, I hate attending mass propaganda rallies, illuminated by torches or marching in circles around bonfires singing an anthem dedicated to a dead low IQ thug. The last uniform I gladly wore was my police uniform, before that the US Army’s and before that, the Boy Scouts. Since then, I avoid the idea of me wearing a uniform and, I don’t drink that much beer either.
But disagree with the Left, and one suddenly becomes worse than Hitler, excoriated on Face book and Twitter, confronted by screaming rioters totally unaware of the politics they are defending and, of course, subtly by the use of the email.
Now why, one could ask, isn’t Joseph Stalin held up as a pejorative name? As a better example of ruthlessness, he purposely killed more of his own Russian people than Hitler ever did. So did China’s Mao Tse Tung for that matter. The main reason is that Herr Hitler had far better media coverage and he craved it. The media were all on his side, where it counted, and the fake news of propaganda created out of Der Fuehrer, a Teutonic hero Knight of pure Germanic stock who would return Germany to its vaunted Teutonic, Wagnerian glory,…. that sort of thing.
Bill Clinton was never called a Hitler. The media watched him, didn’t speak ill of him but, didn’t expose him as a rapist or serial sexual predator either. There is another slight difference, Hitler, in losing his war, had the decency to shoot himself. Impeached Bill Clinton, having no shame, still walks among us enchanting women with his “ah shucks” smile.
The drooling media never ever suggested that Obama might have displayed some Hitlerian tendencies. Obama worked hard, like a good bureaucrat should, to create a fascist government for America, but he personally lacked the skills necessary to utilize the massive power he had in his hands to make it happen. He had a “phone and a pen,” feared making decisions, and hoped the people energized to do it for him once he set the bureaucratic wheels in motion. No dirt on that fellows hands. He drew a red line. It had to have been of lipstick. It took a real leader, after several years waiting, just to enforce a previous American presidents Red Line threat.
Sean Spicer made a ‘faux pas’ when he said “even Hitler didn’t use chemical weapons,” but failed to add, “on the battlefield.” The Left press went nuts again. “How shocking, how awful, Spicer has to go, he must resign or be fired,” etc., etc., & etc. Democrats are shameless. Even the Grand Dame of mediocrity, Nancy Pelosi, opined about how awful Spicer was. Spicer’s error was not thinking it through before he spoke. Pelosi’s error is that she’s never thinks at all but reacts instinctively. How many faux pas’s has she made in her years in politics. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (16April17)
Feminist Hooliganism
Opinion January 24, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
As the shocking photos of the Women’s DC march following Trumps inauguration are now being published, it is apparent that modern women are much filthier than modern men, in their thoughts, words and probably deeds. I’ve never been accused of being a prude but I am totally shocked by the cultural sickness I read on the signs these women carried in their perambulation alone the streets of our nations Capital. More shocking was the recorded vocals of their chants and demands, their sole focus on female body parts. Ashley Judd, if you listened to her crude, screaming remarks on the speakers dais, has for me, descended into the abysmal depths of obscurity as a non person. I’m sure she doesn’t really care, but I do.
What we see signals a loss of whatever it was of the sacred place once held by women in American society. These Mall creatures are the very personification of the sick swamp dwellers from the primordial muck of paleolithic America, once the habituates of Red Light Districts.
And what was their message? I don’t know, really. Everything had to do with sex. Apparently most of them haven’t encountered muslim men yet who has a totally different take on what a infidel woman’s role is in his society. These women had better prepare themselves and their daughters, to spend some long hours daily on their backs, and not at times of their choosing. It might be suggested that a suitable occupation for these bedeviled creatures, given their desire to publicly flaunt their genitalia, a career in a brothel.
This madness has even spread abroad. In Spain, a known nutter of their feminist movement, at a grand opening of a Wax Museum, half naked, immediately walked up to the new Trump wax figure and grasped its crotch. Wow! What a statement, what a thrill that must have been!
One of President Trump’s promises was to return respect for law enforcement. It should also include the a return of self-respect. Primarily, this woman’s march on DC is the cutting edge of George Soros’ plan to foment anarchy on American streets. These women are nothing but chattel to Soros’ plans and will be destroyed as the useful idiots they are. This march was preplanned and paid for. Even the fingerprints of Islam has revealed themselves in the preparations.
The small crimes committed on the streets must be punished, not by a wink and a nod or a slap on the hand, but by real penalties including some time in the slammer. Burning a US flag, for example, has been defended by the US Supreme Court as freedom of speech. Arson hasn’t! That applies to trash cans and tires too. Police departments need to know they can now apply a vigorous campaign against street hooliganism, simply to protect righteous people, children and the elderly so they too can use the streets without fear of being attacked or humiliated by some incoherent leftist screaming abuses in their faces. All of this because their candidate lost.
Hillary tweeted: “Thanks for standing, speaking & marching for our values at the Woman’s March. Important as ever. I truly believe we’re always Stronger Together.” I would be interested in knowing exactly what she means by “our values.” I don’t think she really knows but her personal misery can best be fed by Tweeter. Hillary’s not out of the woods. Jason Chaffetz, (R-UT) and chairman of House Over Site Committee, said the investigation of her activities could take years. In political speak, that means not until the lawyers have drained her of whats left of her fortune. She might have to return to redneck Arkansas. One wonders, is she, as a former first lady, still entitled to Secret Service protection in prison? Just asking!
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (01/24/17)
The Depths of Corruption – Follow the Money
Opinion May 30, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
Trump is no dummy and should not be underestimated as evidenced by the skill he employed in neutralizing his main internal enemy, FBI Director James Comey. Perhaps Trump’s other adversaries should think about looking for good lawyers. Evidence, not innuendo, rumors or fake news like the “Comey Memo,” is starting to reveal the real depths of corruption that infects the highest levels of the FBI and DoJ. Comey’s job, was simply to protect the establishment, the one he was invited to join many years ago. How else could a civil servant, a DoJ lawyer on a scheduled income, become a multi-millionaire? Corrupt politics of course.
As always, follow the money! Even as far back as George H.W. Bush’s administration the money string, then as now, always seems to lead back to the cash pit that was Saudi Arabia, a Wahhabis Islamic country still funding the creation of Islamic schools in the west.
Back then, the Saudi’s had an iron grip on world energy production through OPEC. George H.W. Bush, was then an advisor of influence for the Carlyle Group investment firm and apparently had a hand in arranging a billion dollar investment, to help his friends, from a Saudi family named the bin Laden’s. Carlyle is the largest financier of weapons in the world, buying up defense companies whenever and where ever they can. The Bush’s, father and son are, or were, both paid adviser to the firm. Making money for their investors is their business and war and conflict is the vehicle that drives it,….follow the money!
At that time the FBI Director was one Robert Mueller, probably directly responsible for America not being prepared for the 9/11 attack by officially ignoring the warnings. A Judicial Watch inquiry reports that Director Mueller killed an FBI counter-terrorism initiative out of the Chicago Field Office that was following a Saudi money laundering scheme that revealed that an imminent attack against America was probable. That attack occurred on 9/11.
In 2013, there was much ‘too do’ about Obama nominating James Comey, a Republican, as Director of the FBI to replace the retiring Robert Muller. But, for the establishment elites he was the perfect choice because Comey, like many aspiring government attorneys looking for wealth and advancement, can wear any hat that fits the need, in this case maintaining the status quo of the elite, corrupt federal government. Comey’s was picked because of his long connections with the Clinton’s formed years earlier when he was a very young, eager assistant AG.
Jump forward to today and, because of Trump, the evidence of government corruption is spilling out with revelations that intelligence agencies and the FBI, under Obama, systematically violated Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by illegally eavesdropping on millions of Americans. Susan Rice, Obama’s National Security Advisor, for political reasons, was a willing participant to protect the government. Now, it’s to protect them from Trump.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) is apoplectic learning that their authority to protect the 4th Amendment rights of American citizens was simply ignored by Obama, the FBI and the NSA. Indeed, it was the FBI Directors main job to protect the elites, old and new, from investigations like Clintons for example, which he did. Comey is now gone and all bets are off. Comey’s ‘evidence’ now lies in the hands of the new US Attorney General, Jeff Sessions.
Power, and the deadly potential of its use, has shifted hands. The media’s attacks on Trump will continue, so watch for the radical democrats to slow down a bit and let the media carry their water. Trump will do what he has to do. It is imperative if America is to survive.
When Leadership Disappears
Opinion April 15, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
Yesterday, I expounded upon the problem of leadership, or lack of it, demonstrated by United Airlines. By no means does United stand alone in its failings of leadership. Our ability as a nation to make righteous decisions, or bad ones, comes after decades of progressivism that has denied Americans the right to think for themselves and do what’s right, but do only what feels good and what the rule book allows.
The United Airlines incident reveals exactly the same degree of time warped decision making that allowed the government of Bill Clinton to drag a screaming, fearful little Cuban boy, Julian Gonzales, at gun point, out of the closet of a relatives happy home in Miami, Florida, to be forcibly returned to a despotic communist regime for a proper readjustment of his values. It’s what makes fools like Obama think that by opening doors to that failed communist state, America will be the better for it. It’s why “Rules of Engagement” for our military have been so restricted that the numbers of our killed and maimed soldiers has risen so highly. They can’t attack and kill the enemy lest the enemy should be offended. “War is hell!” but not for them.
What was the point in both United’s forcible removal, and Clinton’s Gonzales cases? It is the same level of leadership that operates in that liberal/progressive/fascist climate of management that ignores the rule of law, abandons the rule of common sense and forsakes the rules of good manners. For United, it could not have been for the bottom line, could it? Was it a power play? No, it was inviolable, pre-ordained policy. What was Bill Clinton’s reason? He blamed Janet Reno. He couldn’t make a righteous on the spot decision. Neither could United. It’s a mind set!
Progressive-Socialists always mean well regardless of the unintended consequences of their actions. As they only intend the best for their customer(s), employees or the general public, they should, naturally, be forgiven. Schedules have to be maintained, crews returned to their home bases, and rules obeyed, that sort of thing. It’s what Progressives do. It’s how they live, work and operate. It’s how they’ve screwed up America. It’s polite evil!
Another example, “Gun free zones!” Only a rabid do good’er could possibly think up such idiotic nonsense. Zero tolerance rules and “gun free zones,” have left the streets of our cities, the floors of our classrooms, and the crowded dance halls of night clubs littered with the dead and bleeding bodies of innocent people because Progressivism demands an environment of “zero tolerance.” Where does most of America’s gun violence occurred? In Zero Tolerance gun free zones. The whole city of Chicago is a gun free zone and the death count there, by guns alone, is absolutely staggering. Their decision, ban guns not shooters.
For most Americans, the biggest offenders are the bureaucracies’ of the Federal Government, the IRS, EPA, USDA, BLM & etc. who use their own little made up rules as clubs against citizens simply trying to earn a decent living. For example, Obama’s health care rules demanded all citizens, except Congressmen, enroll in his wealth redistribution plan or pay a financial penalty. EPA steals a ranchers inalienable right to use his property because, the EPA say’s, such use could adversely affect a tiny fish a thousand miles down stream. We can all recite similar atrocities from our own experience, United Airlines simply revealed them.
America is under new leadership. Until Trump, there was no evidence of positive leadership at any level, corporate or government, only the rule book. People were afraid to make decisions. The inviolable rules of engagements, the pre-ordained mind-set, has neutered Americans. Screw up and blame the rule book. Beat up somebody and blame the victim. That’s how it is!
Leadership or Just Following Rules?
Opinion April 14, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
How in the world does a huge corporation, like United Airlines, faced with eager competitors engaged in the sole business of public transportation, believe it somehow has the inalienable right to club some fellow over the head, who bought their product, and drag his bloody body, inchoate and screaming, out of the seat he just purchased and down the aisle with dozens of onlookers, with iPhones I might add, as witnesses, and think they are doing a good deed? It has nothing to do with leadership because their is no leadership, just a manager with a rule book!
Good intentions are the opiate of the Progressive/Socialist class empowered by a pre-developed mind-set that does not allow for individual reasoning, decision making or accepting responsibility for mistakes. All responsibility now lies in “books of rules,” tomes of ‘one size fits all’ command and control, relegating no authority to anyone to say “Stop it already, enough is enough!”
As far as United Airline’s problem is concerned, hundreds of cheaper and understandable remedies have already been posited on the social media sites so I’ll not add my views here, but, I’d rather focus on why leadership has failed. It’s an easy study; we have failed because we have over burdened ourselves with rules, thousands of rules, books of rules, and have given the power to enforce those rules to people who apparently have little or no understanding into the constitutional reasons why those thousands of rules are generally archaic, invalid, and legally unenforceable, but are enforced anyway. It’s a subject that is rarely ever discussed. Where has American leadership gone awry? Where are the examples of the leadership that was once Americas? There are none. Progressivism has seen to that.
Hopefully, not too many public companies, like United Airlines, entertain clumsy business models that permits the clubbing of customers. But, as they are corporate entities that follow unbendable rules, they will pay the penalty in lost ridership, rotten PR and declining stock rvalues, and worse, possible bankruptcy, throwing hundreds of employees onto the dole.
For companies like United, apologies from top managers,”we re-accommodated him” are laughable and meaningless. Unless corporate structures change to the point that any employee, at any grade, is empowered to fearlessly call a halt to such stupidity when they see it, the carnage will continue. That’s the problem with strict adherence to rule books. There is no wiggle room so, blame the rule book.
In the United Airlines case, any member of the cabin crew should have had the authority, right then and there, to stop the assault and battery on a customer when other remedies were so easily available. The unhappy lesson of a mind-set that draws its actions from an inflexible rule book, that denies authority to employees to make spot decisions, is soon to be realized by the coming massive lawsuit, and will hasten a reevaluation of the unintended consequences of strict management by the no tolerance book of rules. Stupidity always accompanies indecision. When the lack of making an apparently simple decision is denied to the very employees who could have stopped it, then “stupidity” becomes the norm.
Last question. Who thought it was important enough to call the Airport Police to physically remove the customer from his paid seat? As a result of such stupid thinking, there are now, additionally, three police officers on the dock for taking action that was not not theirs to take, by enforcing some idiotic rule of a private corporations decisions to ruin their public relations. The good news is that United has apparently decided not to club their passengers any more.
Healing Process
Opinion November 10, 2016
Opinion by George McClellan:
I have come to hate the term, “healing Process.” For me, the healing process was when I broke my leg a few years ago racing my motorcycle. It hurt like hell but it did heal and both parts of my leg get along just fine. Life happens. In politics, the “healing process” doesn’t heal!
In politics the “healing process” is a term used by Leftists propagandists, and whiners, to lure winning GOP candidates into a false sense of ethereal security where the Republican(s) are led to believe “we’re all brothers, after all, aiming for the same goals and, can’t we just get along?
Well, no, we can’t, not without a sharp weapon in our hands. The Democrat Party was seized by the Progressives Socialists many years ago and any real American democrats were driven out or ultimately became Republicans.
Here I must refer to a Luntz Op-Ed in the New York Times prior to the election. Luntz was already laying the ground work for “healing”: “Let us hope that the leader we choose will have the courage and wisdom to heal a wounded nation and declare “enough is enough.” It’s time to govern. (We’ve heard all that before) For decades, that healing has begun on election night with a concession speech. The vanquished candidate, usually surrounded by family and friends, accepts defeat with remarkable grace and dignity, and asks supporters to accept the will of the people: “We’ve been around for 240 years. We’ve had free and fair elections. We’ve accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them, and that is what must be expected of anyone.”
“As for the winner tonight” Luntz thought it necessary for Hillary or Trump to deliver less of a victory-style speech and more of what he calls a “personal apology and a clarion call — for unity, empathy and understanding.” Well, Trump did that but I don’t know why!
Luntz, added: “here are some of the words America desperately needs to hear:
Throughout this election, we’ve said things to each other that were harsh, negative and inappropriate. Our divisive words too often distract us from the challenges we need to solve.
From failing schools to rapidly rising health care costs, from immigration to Social Security, the challenges we face as individuals, as communities and as a country are immense and demand the best minds and best ideas from across the political spectrum. (Trump will have them)
“In the months ahead, my administration will set the example. We are more than just Democrats. We are more than just Republicans. We are Americans.”
According to Luntz, for the winner it will be “the first chance both candidates will have to begin the healing process … if they choose that path.” A lovely sentiment to be sure, but the Democrats don’t follow it except as a propaganda tool and a weapon. “Can’t we just get along?” means we must agree with them even when we won it all.
The nations wounds were inflicted on it by the Democrat Party and its president. Republicans had no hand in Obamacare, the IRS invasions of conservative groups, the murders of four American’s in Benghazi, the destabilization of the middle-east or the failure to slow down the relentless advance of Islamic Jihadism. Their only failure was a failure to stop Obama’s nonsense because they have been trained to shiver in fear lest they be called racists for not supporting our first (and probably last) black president. The die has been cast, and for the democrats it came up “snake eyes.” It’s time for the Republicans to realized and accept their failures and rally around the new President (elect) and defeat the Socialists, because, they’ll be back. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (10 Nov 2016)
TRUMP WIN’S, What’s Next?
Opinion November 9, 2016
Opinion written by George McClellan:
What a great sigh of relief has descended over America following our country’s near disaster of entering the dark world of enfranchised socialism. Pulled back from the brink of despair by a candidate who, on the surfaced, seems ill prepared for the job, Donald Trump must be viewed in a totally different light, the light of realism.
First, he is a developer, not a politician. He is a negotiator, not an appeaser. He is a problem-solver who surrounds himself with only the very the best talent he can get to get the job done. Trump’s first danger will be the flood of Karl Rove types, bankers, international mischief makers and all the other other old guard republican movers and shakers who think they must meddle in Trumps presidency to save the old Republican party. Well,it’s Trump’s party now, the voters proved that, and the old line politicians like John McCain, Lindsay Graham, et. al., must leave, quietly if possible, but leave none the less. It’s a new era and their old ideas are no longer welcomed.
A constitutionally oriented Supreme Court and hundreds of lower Federal Judgeships soon to open, will set America’s constitutional course for decades. Obamacare, the Socialist utopian dream of mandated top down Government control over the entire population, will be replaced by workable plans at costs available to anyone who want’s it but not the onerous existing scheme that punishes those who cannot afford it.
The nest of vipers and criminals, especially the Muslim Brotherhood employees inserted into the DoS, DoJ, the IRS, EPA and especially the VA, should anticipate and prepare for long futures in prison. Eric Holders criminal plans like Fast and Furious must be re-surface and pursued to completion, if only to be fair to the many US and Mexican victims killed by Holders and Obamas’s criminality.
Trump’s cabinet must include constitutional thinkers, with displayed bulldog tenacity like Trey Gowdy as Attorney General, Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court, John Bolton as Secretary of State and Lt. Gen. (ret) Flynn as Secretary of Defense. Social engineering in our military must end. America’s warrior class must be preserved and those Admirals and Generals who have emasculated the forces by LGBT inclusion, Women infantry combat commanders and touchy-feely schemes to make men inferior, must be retired immediately.
Obamas entire stable of appointed DOJ lawyers from Loretta Lynch on down, must be gone on day one. Good and loyal politicians like Rudy Giuliani and Christ Christi must be given White House positions as Chief of Staffs, and National Security Advisors. I might even include the Republican Party’s National Chairman Reince Priebus for a White House position, possibly as political advisor. Priebus, you may recall, saw the future early and tried to bring all the GOP players together to support Trump. That is a loyalty that must be recognized.
VP Mike Pence must have an active roll in Trumps government, not merely kept around to attend funerals of foreign potentates, or become, like Uncle Joe Biden, the buffoon in residence. Pence has the negotiating and political skills Trump needs and I can see him at the front of our new trade policy negotiations. If robotics is to change the work force for manual labor, then let’s build the worlds robots in America and compete.
The markets, it was predicted will crash. No, they won’t! They will dip then with the realization of a new prosperity under America’s leadership, they will bounce back. Brexit proved that. Already foreign leaders and rallying to the potential of a Trump Presidency, except the National Socialists types. Philippine’s President Duarte immediately call the Donald and congratulated him and asked not to be forgotten in Americas future plans. China need not apply. Israel is jubilant and Egypt’s president extended feelers.
America’s foreign policy will doubtless be framed in terms of being the toughest guy on the block. The US military will be regenerated into the deadly fighting force, it has always been. But, above all, remember freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, let’s help Trump make America Great Again.(9/11/16)
Bad Trends Coming
Opinion January 23, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
I’m becoming a bit concerned that Fox News Sunday’s Chris Wallace, is edging to the ‘dark side.’ Today’s interview (01/22/17), nay challenge, of Trumps Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus, was a tawdry example of combatively exploring the trivial to energize the petty, in order to trivialize Donald Trump’s presidency by giving credence to pure nonsense. Who cares? The Leftists do!
The MLK bust issue, a chance opportunity taken by a pool reporter who “tweeted: “Trump ordered the MLK Bust removed,” because he, the reporter, couldn’t see it. It was purposely designed to start tongues wagging on the same level, or worse, as when Obama handed the bust of Winston Churchill back to the British Ambassador on his first day in office. If you can’t see something, wait for it. If it’s still not there ask about it before tweeting a “gotcha” to the world. I would suspect that guy will have his WH press credentials taken. Who needs him?
The media doesn’t understand Trumps push back on these small issues and so they waste valuable Sunday airtime talking about nothing. The same with the head count. In two more days, who will even care unless the media chokes themselves trying to keep it alive? The end result, Trump will still be president and the press will still remain untrusted.
Hit Trump and expect to be hit back. In this era of divided loyalties, no politician can stand the free hits the press constantly delivers against Conservatives. George W. Bush, had a policy of not responding and look where that got him. Obama blamed him for every Democrat congressional failure in the Americas political and economic scene since the last two years of Bush’s final term. Trump isn’t going to stand for that.
Then comes the vagina vigilantes, the woman’s march, most of ‘em white feminist distraught that Hillary lost the election, demanding freedom. From whom, from what? Looking at the close ups of the feminist crowd, no two signs they held, said the same thing, One group wanted free sex without consequences, another wanted state paid contraception, another group demanded abortions, it was painful. Even street interviews revealed some really stupid young women.
It did not go unnoticed that the alleged feminist celebrities seized control of the microphones to proclaim their anti-Trumpism. The odious and scraggy Madonna, in her usual profanity laced profile, screamed out to the assembled women her vile thoughts and demands. So did the beautiful Scarlett Johansson and sadly, the once sweet and lovely Ashley Judd felt compelled to join the fray and smear herself with anarchist shame. Who got to her one wonders?
Why is celebrity granted a free pass? These people are basically stupid about events, guided only by a mistaken philosophy that abhors men except when its time to get impregnated, if a machine can’t do it first. Who is Alicia Keyes and Janelle Monae? I’ve never heard of them and didn’t recognize them when they spoke on live TV but they had a stupid message to proclaim and a platform to proclaim it.
The first feminist, Gloria Allred, now an aging old hag, screamed out that “if Trump registers Muslims, then we will all register as muslims.” This woman is certifiable. If it’s that important to her to welcome Jihadists, shouldn’t she be wearing a hijab now? If she really wanted to be a muslim woman, perhaps she should practice first by living in Saudi Arabia for a year. A beating once or twice a day would do well for her reeducation. She might even beg Donald Trump to get her out of there. Naw, he shouldn’t waste his time on silly trivia.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now. go get ‘em! (01/22/17)
