Short Takes – A View of the Future

Opinion

After a year of President Trump learning to be more effective as a President, as opposed to being a successful business leader, his learning process quickly reveals itself in his style and positive accomplishments. Trump, by all media accounts a clumsy, un-presidential leader, has done more than any president before him, including the beloved Ronald Reagan, to reestablish a Constitutional America and restore the rule of law. He’s draining the swamp.

 

The disintegration at the leadership level of the Dept. of Justice, the FBI and the IRS, once condoned by the Progressives who believe America is the worlds villain and should be neutralized, are being routed by the apparent machinations of an offish non politician who won the presidency and stopped the changes that was making America into a copy of the old Soviet Union.  But Trump is not a despot, Obama was.

 

The caterwauling of the disoriented Progressive Left who manned the Deep State functions of government, are falling on the deaf ears of this president. He toys with them and they respond like cats to a dangling piece of string. His weapon, the in their face “Tweets.”  

 

Trumps State of the Union speech, delivered in simple understandably terms were not for the politicians assembled before him, but for the nation, for you and me who populate the fly over country of unwashed “deplorable’s” and, we’re listening. Its been nearly a year before the frightened leaders of the Republican Party started to listen too and push the levers of constitutional governing they now control into high gear. It is the Bolshevik Democrats who refuse to come along. They remain dogged in their determination to make America crappy.

 

Trump’s positive speech in Davos and his State of the Union speech a few days later, confirms him to be anything but an oafish clown wandering aimlessly in the political world of their creation, but marks him a national and world leader of the first order. Trump offered specific and practical reform proposals we see already manifest in the just passed, two year, bipartisan budget bill that saves our military, builds “the wall” and may solve our problem of what to do with our illegal aliens. Not everybody is happy but all agree to something. The Democrats have been left holding a very short string. For them it’s almost all or nothing.

 

Ask yourself how many Democrats would vote against $1.5 trillion-worth of infrastructure investment? They wanted it, they got it, but it comes with certain Trump conditions. How many Democrats will oppose lower drug costs for seniors or vote against solving the opioid crisis? How many Democrats want to oppose allowing people with fatal illnesses the right to try new drugs or techniques, except the state of Oregon that is, where death camps are now being considered for the sick, elderly and incapacitated? How many Democrats want to oppose vocational education for non college capable students to improve the work force and raise Americans out of poverty? It’s a long list Trumps has offered and the Democrats sat on their damn hands, their faces dour, hateful and uncooperative.

 

Nancy Pelosi’s eight hour filibuster event, replete with hemming and hawing, lost thought strings, confused rhetoric and absurd ideas, left many of us wondering “what was that all about?” Her effort might have been better if she just read the Dearborn, Michigan telephone directory. I don’t think she knows what lies in the future for the Democratic party. Maybe she does and that would explains her apparent on rushing dementia. Leadership is a fungible thing. The Democrats are at the end of their string of old guard leaders. They’re getting desperate.

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

Short Takes – When Politics Goes Awry, Crimes Are Easy

Opinion

When a government bureaucracy, part of the Executive, stonewalls the subpoenaed demands
of the Congress, defying the Congress its constitutional role of oversight, and the Executive as
well, then that’s a big clue that that agency is desperately trying to hide something. When that
agency is one that can put people in prison, then the government they support is at the very
cusp of totalitarism or revolution. That’s where America was on November 7, 2016.
When they refuse to reveal what is demanded, they then retreat into the shadows of National
Security, protecting sources and methods, that sort of thing. When pressed, somehow their
version is leaked to their fellow travelers in the media.Then a veritable logomachy occurs and
their arguments are spavined and the media sets about adding to the confusion taking their
viewers down dark alleys to inconsequential items of fake news. This Russian collusion
business, a fruitless but sustained attack against Donald Trump, is a case in point.
Today the remnants of Barak Obama’s DoJ and FBI, representing the Democrat party’s efforts
to void their ‘shocking loss to Donald Trump and their massive dismissal by Americas voters,
has descended into the realm of incoherence. The corrupted IRS, whose original mission was to
thwart Tea Parties and Conservative groups, already exposed for its failings, lurks quietly in the
shadows awaiting the hammer that must fall if it is to be cleansed of its corruption. The cure can
be worse than the disease. None of this would have happened if Hillary had won. Think on that!

The contending party to end Donald Trump’s effort to Make America Great Again, is the “Deep
State,” the many bureaucracies filled with faceless, over paid workers who actually control the
levers of government. They are supported by the elected officials, Democrats and Republicans
alike, many as dumb as planks but malleable and others, rising out of their corrupt local politics
to achieve higher office where the rewards are greater. Then, there are the few who actually
aspire to be statesmen and do for America what is right for America.
That government is slow and ponderous, provides the shield behind which bureaucrats can
ignore the Constitution and the rule of law. Without Congressional authority they set about
making up rules and regulations that cost Americans their freedom of self-determination, their
right to do with their property what they want to do with it, and the ability to earn as much wealth
for their families that their abilities can provide. Government demands most of it. Trump doesn’t!
Unelected bureaucratic leaders, left overs from Obama’s two terms, are now suspect for acting
against the best interests of the American people. Attempts at corrections are met with a
cacophony of claims about” obstruction of justice” when justice, already obstructed, needs to be
put back on its tracks. FBI Director Comey was fired, not because he was investigating Trump
and getting close to finding evidence of collusion with the Russians, but because he lied about
the FBI’s role in exculpating Hillary Clinton of her crimes.
Comey’s boss, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, met secretly with Bill Clinton on an airport
tarmac in Arizona. The first impression was “the fix was in” and they got caught. Well, the fix
was in, but was decided long before that meeting. When photos of that accidental meeting show
police cars with blue lights flashing surrounding the two airplanes, Secret Service agents doing
their thing and a local reporter on hand to reveal all, we’re supposed to believe that the tarmac
encounter was by chance? No, I don’t think so. We saw a highly orchestrated act, a bit of the
theater of the absurd, another ruse to confuse and obfuscate the true story. Loretta Lynch, a
Clinton creature, had to have plausible deniability to toss the announcement that Hillary
Clinton’s offenses did not rise to the level of criminal charges, into the lap of the incorruptible,

honest Director of the FBI, James Comey. We were snookered but, as we see the story
unfolding before us today, others weren’t.
All the crimes attributed to the Obama administration, like the Fast and Furious debacle, the
overthrow of a sovereign country, Libya, so its weapons could be provided to ISIS elements in
Syria, the six billon dollar loss by the US State Dept. under Hillary’s watch as Sec.State, are all
political crimes done by Liberal Progressive politicians.
Hillary’s list of chargeable criminal offenses covers nearly all the years of her adult life. It would
take pages and pages to explain the shameful crimes this woman and her rapist husband,
committed under the banner of legitimacy. Don’t forget, during their time in the White House, the
Clintons auctioned off goods and services for campaign contributions. They used, and
corrupted, the IRS and FBI to target Bill Clinton’s political opponents over sexual his
peccadilloes.
They shamelessly sold favors too. Among the favors the Clintons sold were seats on overseas
trade missions; export licenses for high tech sales to Red China; political job and judgeships;
rides on Air Force One; overnight stays in the Lincoln Bedroom; even burials at Arlington
National Cemetery and, let’s not forget Whitewater, Rose Law Firm and the death of Vince
Foster, followed by the looting of Fosters office and home of all data that could incriminate the
Clinton’s. That was obstruction of justice. These issues have not been investigated.
Under Liberalism, the corruption of our Government came in many forms. Huma Abedin, who
served as Hillary’s deputy chief of staff for nearly 20 years had known ties to the Muslim
Brotherhood, a terrorist group of Islamic supremacists whose goal overthrowing America.
Huma’s mother, Saleha Abedin, was the official representative of the blood-stained terrorist
group, the Muslim World League.
We already now that Hillary maintained all her official State Dept. correspondence, with her
personal emails, on a private email server in her home. A crime! Hillary’s email system was
unsecured while she used it for conducting the governments foreign policy business. Neither did
she sign the standard exiting office agreement that promised she had left government property
behind.
Hillary did not encrypt her private email service for the first three months of her job as secretary
of state. That would have got in the way of her Foundations “Pay for Play” scheme. All this while
traveling abroad to China, Egypt, Israel, Japan and South Korea.
Technology companies donated millions of dollars to select Democratic Party entities, including
Bill Clinton’s 1996 re-election campaign, in return for permission to sell high-tech secrets to
China. China now has accurate intercontinental ballistic missiles with guidance systems
designed by Hughes Aircraft.
Most recently was the Uranium One deal and her Foundations involvement in its sale to the
Russians, for political donations. That’s real collusion with Russia. The phony GPS Fusion
report, and the FISA scandal as a result, are not to be forgotten as well as rigging the Democrat
Primaries so poor ol’ Bernie Sanders didn’t have a chance.
The crimes may be coming to an end, for awhile. But it must be asked, Is there no shame left,
by the Democrats, no end of the corruption? Trump is showing us how to get the job done.
Attack, attack, attack. We must support him.

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

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!

 

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

Short Takes – The Memo

Opinion

What is the importance of the “memo” everyone’s talking about and expect to see revealed today? It was important enough for the dysfunctional Left Wing Media to attempt to distract us with a silly story breathlessly claiming Trump Wanted to fire Mueller last July. So what? As Hillary Clinton once famously said, “that’s old news.”

 

I don’t know what’s in the memo but Rep. Trey Gowdy who does, made enough allusions to its contents that I’m satisfied it’s damaging to Obama, the FBI and the DoJ.

Basically, I’m betting the ”memo” rips open the veneer of the protective apparatus of the “Deep State” revealing the extent of the systemic corruption at the highest levels of the Department of Justice. The “Deep State,” especially Hillary Clintons role in it, could not exist without the complicity of the Department of Justice. No one else could pull it off and to do so requires the corrupting atmosphere of favors, promotions and money, dispensed from the very top. It’s deep waters we are wading in, a ”swamp” in fact.

 

The House Intelligence Committee voted to make public the contents of ‘the memo,’ after the President reviews it. Trump already knows what’s in it and skillful negotiator that he is, he’ll use the power of that knowledge to his best advantage. In the meantime, the DoJ and FBI went into panic mode after Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Intel. Committee, announced he would make it public. The FBI and DoJ claimed that the four page memo shouldn’t be released until they reviewed it first. Why?

 

The contents of the memo came from the FBI and DoJ so, they already know what’s in it. On top of that, the bureaucracy that is the FBI and DoJ are part of the Administrative branch of government and therefore have no veto power on what the Congress can see or do with the product of their inquiries. It is the responsibility of the Congress to provide “oversight” on what the other two branches of government do. That was wisely written into our Constitution by our forefathers as a checks and balance measure to prevent corruption. It only works when politicians ignore the Constitution and willingly wade into the swamp of corruption.

 

The fallout was immediate. Andrew McCabe was ousted from his position as the FBI Deputy Director by new FBI Director Wray. Wasn’t it Wray who was alleged to have said he would resign if the President fired McCabe or was that another fake news comment from the liberal media?

 

Here is the situation. The four page House Intel. FISA Memo is not the document that caused McCabe, and soon many others, to be kicked out of the “Deep State” swamp of the DoJ. It is the conclusions to be found in the forthcoming report of the Dept. of Justice’s Inspector General that’s to be feared. It will be Trumps hammer to hasten the draining of the swamp. Rats will always try to abandon a sinking ship. The DoJ and it’s appendage, the FBI, appears to be a sinking ship. Get out of the way of the rush.

 

The Republicans, as Eric Holder would have you believe, have not politicized the DoJ and FBI, nor are they destroying them. That was already done by the Clinton’s. The Republicans, and especially Donald Trump, have simply entered the open wound of vast corruption and will wade in with sabers flashing. That’s exactly what the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted and he’s delivering.  

 

The Nunes Memo is but a brief four page “Cliff Notes” summary of the FBI’s soiled case against Candidate, then President Trumps alleged collusion with the Ruskies.  

 

In fact, the DoJ’s IG, yielding to pressure from Congress, took up the investigation into the FBI’s decision-making process during the 2016 presidential election. Specifically, the IG was investigating whether former FBI Director James Comey improperly spoke out about the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server when she was Secretary of State. Not about Trumps alleged collusion.

 

In July of 2016, Comey brazenly and publicly announced that the FBI’s investigation into the  Clinton matter was finished, recommending that no charges against her would be considered because she had “no intent” to disregard the law on handling of classified materials, & etc. In effect Comey told us that while she acted irresponsibly, her actions were not criminal….. and, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I’ll sell.

 

Ah, but the plot thickened. Just before the General election Comey revealed that the FBI had reopened their case on Clinton’s email’s . This startling announcement after NYPD Detectives, in a pedophile investigation, had found her emails on the lap top belonging to former Rep. Anthony Weiner, then the husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin. “Oh, what tangled webs we weave”…

 

Then, just days before the November election, Comey said that the FBI had uncovered no new information in its new probe on Hillary’s email case and closed it down again. “Oh, the humanity?”

 

The political Left severely criticized Comey for what he did just before the election. They demanded he be fired by the new President. In May President Trump did fire FBI Director Comey and suddenly, to the Left, Comey was a hero again falsely fired by a rogue President trying to unfairly interfere with the FBI’s Collusion investigation with the Russians. Oh, be still my beating heart.”

 

The FISA memo will be informative if not shocking. One wonders why we are not really shocked anymore. It’s that IG report that will be the nuclear bomb that opens the DoJ to public scrutiny and may, at last, drain the swamp.

 

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

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 – 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!

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (25Jan18)

Short Takes – Perspectives in Violence

Opinion

Perspective, about deadly events, means nothing if you are the victim facing any threat that could kill you. Currently, the objet d’jour of outrage is against guns because they are noisy, frightening and, if semi-automatic, can do a lot of damage quickly. One such, in the hands of a disturbed individual just killed a lot of innocent people as well. But, so can a determined person with a vehicle by smashing into crowds of holiday makers, school children lining up for their bus or pedestrians window shopping on a city street. Jihadists are using this inexpensive technique.

 

The violence by guns statistics of Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis and Detroit alone, makes the perspective of other means of violent death seem trivial in comparison. Deaths in the four cities mentioned exceed the numbers of soldiers killed in Middle-East conflicts.  American troops killed in Afghanistan and Iraq in an eleven year period, 2001 and 2012 was 6,488. Add the number of American women killed in domestic violence by husbands or boyfriends, at 11,766, and it nearly doubles the number of casualties killed in the recent wars.

 

Here’s where ‘perspective‘ changes. In 2015, 10,265 people died in drunk driving collisions  accounting for nearly a third of all traffic-related deaths in the United States. 209 children, aged one to fourteen, were among those statistics as victims of drunk drivers. In 2015, nearly 1.1 million drivers were apprehended for DUI by alcohol or narcotics. A studied survey conducted by the Mothers Against Drunk Drivers group revealed 14,000,000 (yes, 14 million) people drive impaired daily on our streets and highways. Where is the outrage?

 

On top of that, the death rates caused by illegals lurking in sanctuary cities, is unbelievable. What happens to them? They are sometimes deported only to return a few months later to do it all over again.  Another large contributor to the high vehicle death rate is driving while texting. The death rate here is roughly nine killed and a thousand injured every day. Using cell phones accounts for nearly 1.6 million crashes a year (2015 statistics).

 

Deaths by Domestic violence has occurred since the beginning of time between two partners who have a disagreements. Usually it’s men vs. women, often resulting in death or injury to responding police officers. Add in the Gay partnerships and well, they’re not immune either.  

 

A really big death offender is the medical and pharmacies industry. 100,000 Americans are killed annually by drugs prescribed by doctors (Source: www.CDC.gov). These killings go on year after year with no consequences to drug companies or doctors. Doctors can simply bury their mistakes. Overdose deaths average 13 teenagers an hour yet no one in the Congress has the courage to seal the Mexican-US border from the $50 billion in drugs crossing there annually.  At least 64,000 Americans died from illegal drugs in 2016 that crossed our southern border. (Source: www.drugabuse.gov).  Did I not mention killings, by knives, hammers or baseball bats? 1,490 people were killed by cutting instruments in 2013. Rifles, including the AR-15, killed only 285 folks while shotguns killed 308. The highest death rates have been in “gun free” zones.

The discussion on “gun violence” is the mantra of the Left. They only want complete and total gun confiscation. To them, no other solution is worthy of discussion. Our society is seriously divided between constitutionalists and the dark forces of complete socialism. A disarmed America is their total goal. Once the 2nd amendment is neutralized and Americans are relieved of the responsibility for their own self-defense, then watch the crushing mantle of Communism spread over the land, enforced by the only armed group left, their police forces. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em!

Short Takes – Then, Along Came Trump

Opinion, Politics

Then, Along Came Trump….

The Democrats relentless attacks, on America in particular, conservatives in general and Republicans especially, is a symptom of an illness like a type of flesh eating disease devouring America from the inside out. Americans are not socialists so our children had to be educated in socialism, in our schools, through constant repetition, propaganda and coercion to accept their status among the herd animals as slaves to the Socialist State. Then, along came Trump.

Trump, a completely non-political candidate, a street fighter with a super savvy business acumen and street smarts, vanquished all sixteen of the GOP’s establishment compassionate conservatives arrayed against him, then defeated the Democrats anointed one, the already deemed “Queen” who would be the first female US President in history because the election they thought, was properly fixed in her favor. Shockingly, along came Trump.

Trump, whose non-Presidential antics absolutely irritates just about everybody except his loyal base voters who don’t really care, and whose sole desire is to keep his campaign promises to Make America Great Again, defend his administration from the constant attacks challenging his competency, his intelligence, his life style, his wealth, his influence and his determination to drain the swamp, is in fact, doing exactly what he was hired to do.

Even in their ‘rapture,’ the Democrats wield a powerful weapon in the compliant fourth estate, the Mean Stream Media whose daily product is either acts of commission by telling out right lies, acts of omission by not telling the full story, leaving out important details, or pure propaganda to support the Marxist/ socialist goal of neutralizing America. Then, along came Trump.

There can be no one world government if America is not in it or is not neutralized completely.  

Regardless of the screaming losers and the “Never Trump” haters, the new president immediately set his task to Make America Great again. His first failure was lack of support from the Republicans in Congress to repeal and replace Obamacare like they promised. So, he did it anyway in his tax bill by eliminating the Obamacare “mandate” that everybody had to pay for it, like a tax. Trumps tax cuts and tax reform have turned out to be far greater than anyone ever anticipated with the US economy going wild. Anticipating the failure to fund the government, Trump said: “I’m sure the Democrats would like to blunt that (tax reform success), by shutting down government.”

Over 160 US companies thus far have announced either bonuses or raises for their two millions of employees,.The “raises” are now called the “Trump bonus.” The Socialist geared Democrats simply cannot argue against Trumps economic success except to obstruct its implementation like Schumer’s Shutdown is trying to do obfuscate its appeal and deny its effectiveness.

Trump reversed Obama’s 2012 executive action shielding illegals from deportation and issuing work permits for illegal immigrants brought to the United States as minors. Trump extended until March Congress’s time to figure out a legislative solution to DACA and its expensive CHIP rider. Now, in their best fear mongering attacks, Democrats demand amnesty for the so-called “Dreamers” in exchange for Democrat votes for a continuing resolution and extension of the CHIP program. This is the hill “Chuckie” Schumer and “Dickie” Durban have chosen to die on. Lets’ hope they do. We desperately need to Make America Great Again.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (20Jan18)

Short Takes – Is The End of Social Engineering in Sight?

Opinion

Is The End of Social Engineering in Sight?

The long sought after dream of the Democrat Party, to create an authoritarian one party state, its leaders nurtured by elitism and Karl Marx, is about over. Collectivism, as a policy that fits all, is unsustainable, but it still exists in the halls of academe thanks to policies of ‘tenure,’ that saves progressive professors from being tossed onto the trash heap of really stupid ideas.

The Democrats no longer deny their role as Socialists, they just don’t use those words that say so. Their decades of attacks on America’s long standing institutions of moral security, Judeo-Christian codes, Boy and Girl Scout programs, fraternities, conservative college political groups, & etc., are starting to fracture under the weight of disgust and common sense.

The very absurdity of combining the Boy Scout and Girl Scout programs together as one, led by “gay” leaders, is asinine. Concerned parents realize that combining impressionable young people, eager to join scouting, as potential targets of pedophiles, is unconscionable.

Forcing military units to accept transgender personnel, and all that that implies, is as equally disgusting as what that deviant community wants to do with scouts. The aim is to make everyone sexually neutral. For the military, not a good idea. Murder and suicide rates will skyrocket in consequence because real men will not countenance gays, transgenders or deviants, of any rank, openly in their combat units. They can’t be trusted. No amount of Progressive social engineering will change the fact that men and women are as different as night and day and that the 98.7% of straight males will not tolerate a lasting role as fighters from the “gay” community. Women in the cockpit of fighters aircraft has proven good. God bless ‘em! They have good coordination, good eye skills and so long as they are alone in the cockpit and don’t have to look an enemy in the eye before they kill ‘em, all the better.

President Trump very quickly announced an end to Obama’s transgender experiment and a few of Obama’s still active senior military officers, have made noises in dispute but, amazingly they have quieted down. I wonder why? One big problem for the military, apart from lack of funding, for training, equipping and maintenance, is the residual effects of Obama’s social engineering, lingering in the dark waiting to pop out again as aggrieved victims of the majority. I believe, Trump stopped that nonsense just in time. but just barely. The pending disaster that Obama’s social policies foretold, can not be salvaged by politicians, court rulings or consent.

It is now time, for American’s to grasp the true meanings of the words the Socialist (Marxist) Democrats use to ensnare us. “Multiculturalism,” describes the Left’s attempt to negate American Nationalism, those tenants that made America great and exceptional. It decries the evidence of race despite the clashing of cultures. European-American culture is not good for black African citizens, therefore it must be neutralized. As victims, blacks must be elevated. Christianity is not good for Islamic immigrants, therefore it must be neutralized lest Muslims be offended. “Diversity and Racism” go hand in hand with multiculturalism and is the Left’s vehicle to shut down all dissent. It lays the groundwork for negating the 1st Amendment.

The Left can’t stand the US Constitution because it tells them “no!” They can’t have that so, when in power, they ignore or it or go around it. Authoritarianism in America is not supported by the Constitution. Americans should learn that and protect their rights against the now stymied Democrats. But, beware, they’ll keep coming and they’ll keep trying. They are out to get us!

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em. (30Nov17)

Short Takes – The Fallout, Let The Propaganda Begin

Opinion

Immediately the shock wears off and the expected reaction jell as an anti-gun issue, you could lay money that the Hollywood liberal elites would rush to out spend each other ponying up the big bucks to show the world they really care about those school shootings and that something must be done. Of course, it’s get rid of guns. Naturally, they have their own armed close protection bodyguards at hand, but never mind, they mean well, and spend well too.

 

If Dr. Joseph Goebbels, once Propaganda minister of National Socialist Germany had just had today’s American media at his bidding, and the useful idiots in the entertainment industry  salivating over his every word, we would now be in the 85th year of the 3rd Reich. What a guy!

 

Politically, three things are immutable. (1), the 2nd amendment will never be eliminated without a fight. (2), the Democrat party can be counted on to propagandize the gun deaths to advance their agenda, and (3), America’s culture has been irrevocably changed to grudging acceptance that multiculturalism and diversity is the norm. Americas former culture of independence, through strength, achievement, self-determination and self-defense, are denigrated as the cause of all that ails in the world. An armed America remains a danger to them.

 

The Progressives goal has always been to divide Americans. They promote deviance as a tool to do that; they teach us to accept as equal, the foreign ideas, cultures and religions of brutish third world countries, whose denizens have been freely invited across our borders to implant their own cultures and replace ours, and scare Americans into submitting.

 

School shootings help advance the goal of American disarmament. The Democrats will never help solve the issue of deranged, drugged up youths killing others, because they need the issue to keep up their fight for socialist hegemony. American fatigue and exhaustion at the continual shootings help fuel their message. America is a danger to a one world government and so never allowing a crisis to go the waste it will be propagandize, by all means.

 

There’s a restlessness in the country. Donald Trump, the first conservative president since Ronald Reagan, because he upset their corrupted champion, Hillary Clinton, and is keeping his promise to dismantle their finely honed criminal enterprise by draining the swamp, is under constant, ceaseless attack by the Left, their toadies in the media and what’s left of the Dept. of Justice that still has enough influence to stir the pudding.

 

Their latest attack is “with the children,” coaching them on their anti-gun message, transporting them in expensive buses to meet with political leaders, including President Trump, to blame guns and the NRA. We already know that and repeating the same message over and over again by outraged youths does not change the main issue. If Americans are to remain free, in a free country, they must remain armed. Florida’s shootings was a mental health issue.

 

The Florida High School shooting was as preventable as the students protests against guns was predictable. Essential action, to fix what everyone knew, is wrapped in the stifling envelope of political correctness. It all but stopped police, social service workers, counselors and mental health practitioners from making the one decision that would have prevented the seventeen murders in the hallways of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Do something! Take that boy into legal custody, relieve him of his weapons, find out what his problem was and fix it.  

 

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go help fix it!

 

 

 

 

 

Short Takes – Protecting Our Schools

Opinion

As expected, the school shooting outrage in Florida will soon run its course. Why? Because the Democrats immediately politicized it by blaming the NRA and organizing anti-gun rally’s around cooperative high schoolers, many still traumatized by the drama they just experienced. Their purpose, once again, is to set the anti-gun agenda they believe will garner them more local Congressional representatives elected to congress by an outraged populous.

 

Polarizing the issue as the Democrats have done, ended any hope for an intelligent discussion. In affect, democrats want the issue but they will fight any logical solution to solving it. Without a gun, that boy could have as easily run the students down with a vehicle. Then, you wouldn’t hear democrats scream “blame the UAW, ban all cars.” If you get the chance, ask your Democrat candidate for congress: “Do you support the Constitution?” A simple, logical question. If they say “yes!” then ask them “why are they running as a Democrat?” Make ‘em answer!

 

The anti gunners blame the 2nd Amendment and its supporters for America’’s violence problems with guns. The Constitution, because the founders could not possibly have foreseen it, does not answer the problems of young teen age boy’s, drug induced in schools because they are boisterous young teenage boy’s, doing violence with guns.

 

Like the Florida shooter, these drugged up young me are “getting lost in the rabbit hole of mental illness,” in and out of government social service counseling activities, staffed by people who are convinced they are doing good but weighed down by sheer volume of referred cases, so that no one gets a solution to their problems. We cannot continue to simply treat the symptoms after the offense, “tsk, tsk” the problem until it goes away or until it blows up in their faces, like the Florida tragedy. Everybody who needed to know, knew the potential danger.

 

The Democrats focus on the 2nd amendment because it is the only block to their goal of the  totalitarianism they want for America. They can never succeed so long as Americans are armed, protected by the 2nd Amendment and willing to defend themselves from an out of control government.

 

Is there a solution to hardening schools from outside attack? Yes but it costs. The most effective security for stationary targets requires at least three concentric lines of outer defense extending thousands of yards. But a school wouldn’t expect to receive incoming artillery or mortar fire so the distant threat doesn’t really exist except it be the unknown, individual threat, like Cruz, that must be discovered and neutralized at that outer range. Police intelligence.

 

Neutralizing Cruz could have been a perfect exercise in local police efficiency fulfilling the long distance threat portion of the outer circle defense plan. Where was the weakness in the Florida incident? It was a failure to communicate, by the FBI, that did have the information necessary to neutralize the threat, but didn’t act on it.

 

It is here where the defended target, the school, needs to have daily updated Intel reports from the local sheriff or police dept. on potential threats. It should be an inexpensive daily habit of communication. In larger cities, these exist. NYPD for example rivals the CIA  and the FBI in overseas intel collection. Their sole purpose, to protect NYC.

 

The second inner defense ring, and still thinking about schools, is a prepared readiness reaction team of trained police, think SWAT, ready to respond to a threat by hardening the target with their in view presence and/or detectives searching out the threat. The cost for a continual police presence is prohibitive but, a proper response plan will fulfill that gap and could even cover several schools in any given urban area.

 

The inner most target, the school itself, is the last line of defense. Schools, especially large ones, should have choke point entries manned by officers capable and trained to shoot and neutralize a threat. The day of the old retired policeman hired as an armed security guard and friendly with the children, is over. Armed teachers are not the answer either without them being willing to undergo a weeks worth of eight hour a day firearms training and quarterly re-quals. 

 

Prison guards, not jailers, are perfectly trained for this purpose. That is the minimum level of training that should be required for school hardening that I would recommend.

 

The argument against that is that administrators “don’t want to turn their schools into prisons.” The logical response is, “do they want to turn them into graveyards?” Florida, Columbine and Sandy Hook, Aurora, among others, stand as a sad stark reminders of that level of thinking.

 

Finally, the security at target should be totally separate from school administrators interference and interactions with faculty and students. Armed police should not patrol hallways. Once a school gets used to the outside omnipresent security, silent but visible, then the educational atmosphere of freedom and safety returns, the civilian culture of anxiety dissipates and the security issues fades away, Basically, they feel protected.

 

Quickly, concern dissipates and nobody cares anymore. It’s that nobody cares anymore idea that is an eventual result after every such tragedy. With a trained security force, unrelated to the school administration, schools can return to their main function, education. Who really remembers Sandy Hook or Columbine any more? Long and all but forgotten.

 

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

What Just Happened?

Opinion

 

What happened? Date line, Monday 22 Jan 2018: Inexplicably, Senate minority leader Chuckie Schemer rallied the Senate Democrats to support the Government funding bill. Suddenly there was a virtual stampede of Democrat Senators to vote with Republicans to send the CR bill to Trumps desk to continue the funding the US Government into March. “Get outta the way!”

 

The issue of course was based firmly in the belief by the Democrats geriatric leadership that the Republicans would flinch yet again and cave in to their demands, on top of the needs of the country, that illegal intruders (they can’t be immigrants if they’re illegal) be awarded amnesty simply because their parents dragged them across a border from their miserable countries into the United States so they could make America a miserable country too.

 

Chuckie Schumer completely lost sight of the Constitution and the rule of law that protects a governments sovereignty. It must have been Schumer’s thinking that if Americans won’t vote for Democrats, he’ll import people who will so, he wants to load up the voter rolls with the third world’s great unwashed and sought to do so by way of challenging Trump with an illegal immigrant showdown over government funding. Oops!

 

When it quickly became apparent that closing down government because Democrats demand that tax payers support 800,000 undocumented illegal invaders under such innocent sounding terms as DACA and CHIP, over the lawful funding of legal Americans like military soldiers, social security recipients, and etc., then their argument quickly loses its appeal.

 

Where did the 800,000 number that Democrats want amnesty for, come from?  That’s essentially the number of illegals, aka: “Dreamers” who signed up for Obama’s amnesty program at its beginning. The actual number is closer to four million but, we’re told to Ignore the numbers, they are simple children brought here by their illegal invader parents and they must be helped. Democrats also ignore the fact that most of those “Dreamers” are now adults and the percentage who have not assimilated into becoming American’s, learn English and find employment is jaw dropping.

 

For example, the renegade State of California has now announced plans to allow illegals intruders who claim sanctuary and are entitled to a California drivers license and automatic registration on the voters rolls as well. What could go wrong here? I’ll tell you what’s wrong with that. Apart from neutralizing my legitimate vote, every state in the union has drivers license reciprocity with every other state in the union, including Canada and Mexico.

 

If California demeans the validity of their drivers licenses by the artifact of enfranchisement of illegal invaders, then the value of that California drivers license is demand beyond its borders. Automatically, they become unreliable and any of the forty nine other states plus Canada and Mexico, do not have to recognize that license. Tickets will be issued, drivers jailed, and cars impounded, all for lack of legitimate ID’s. Californians will be unable to drive beyond the borders of their state anymore. Who are these stupid people who think up these stupid ideas and expect the rest of America to accept them too?

 

Schumer overplayed his hand or lost his nerve and he caved. A first!  The extreme Left of the Democrat party are now in a frenzy against Schumer’s leadership. That’s all well and good.

The motto is :”If you want to make America a S__thole country, vote Democrat!

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (23Jan18)
