Milo Yiannopoulos and Donald Trump

Today is one of those days where I hardly know where to start. The assault on the Trump Presidency has become outrageous. I could have hardly imagined the day when the progressive left Democrats would unite with the Soros financed Astro Turf protesters in an attempt to destroy the country because they don't like President Trump. When the Federal Court system would usurp a power enumerated to the President in the Constitution and the supposed free market (Wall Street) would conspire to destroy Twitter, his major weapon against a media that has proven is bias and makes no bones about its lack of fairness and objectivity. But President Trump has a new weapon against his serpentine enemies and his name is Milo Yiannopoulos, a gay, jewish, immigrant from Britain with a Greek heritage. His appearance at Berkeley in San Francisco last week absolutely blew the doors off as paid protesters caused a riot, hundreds of thousands in property damage and injuries to innocent bystanders all in the name of tolerance. One person was arrested as the police stood by and watched with orders to stand down. Milo's book, Dangerous, is giving our politically correct system fits. It is being gobbled up by Millennials and fair-minded people all over the country. It is truly more than the progressive left can stand. I have long predicted the turn around in American politics would happen. That in time the political pendulum would swing the other way. It's happening and the behavior of the unhinged progressive Democrat movement is living proof. Thank you Milo and thank you Donald Trump's America.

Repeal And Replace

To fully appreciate this column you should read the one that precedes it, which is located below. The subject is ObamaCare and the hysteria being created to protect it from reform. The Democrats in Congress, their allies in the press and hundreds of progressive interest groups are trying to paint the Republicans into in-action to preserve what is probably the worst development in medical care since they used leeches to cure infections. "If you repeal ObamaCare, what are you going to replace it with," is the challenge posed by Democrats. In fact, replacing ObmaCare is really a false choice because ObamaCare is primarily regulations written by Health and Human Services (HHS). The Affordable Care Act gives HHS the authority to write the regulations that control how ObamaCare works. And, they have written some 30,000 pages of regulations creating an impossible web for insurance companies, doctors, hospitals and patients to understand. Innumerable mandates, complex regulations and record keeping and murky funding streams are all designed to collapse the system and bring about a single-payer, government run system. The two primary examples of government healthcare you should consider are the Veterans Administration Hospital system and Medicaid. In the column below I explain why most people with ObamaCare will not be affected by its repeal so I don't want to go over it again. What I want to stress is that ObamaCare can be undone by the new Secretary of HHS. Rescinding regulations that govern the content of healthcare plans will free insurance companies to offer stylized plans which will cost less and reduce interference between doctor, patient and insurer. Since 75-percent of ObamaCare users are on Medicare and  Medicaid they will not be affected by repeal or deregulation of the program. The remaining 25 percent will get a better policy at a better price. All of this can be done without repeal, except for the individual mandate, which must be repealed by the Congress. The rest can be done by HHS. Get to work, Gentlemen and Ladies; It's in your hands.

Let's Talk Obamacare

Everybody want's to talk Obamacare; so let's. The Republicans want to repeal and replace and the Democrats want to save its sorry ass. By every measure except the illusion that it provides free healthcare for the "poor" ObamaCare is a total failure. Have a look: There are 300 million people in America and ObamaCare provides  over-rated and over-charged healthcare for 20 million. Of the 20 million, 15 million are medicare and medicaid recipients who would be covered by those programs under the current rules. So in truth we are left with the original 5 million who lost their plans when ObamaCare was passed in 2009. They are still the only paying customers the program has. Almost everybody else in America has an employee-based or government-based healthcare plan. The uninsured not on Medicare or Medicaid still remain uninsured. The mandate has failed despite the penalties and hospital emergency rooms are still full to overflowing. I could throw a whole bunch of stuff in here and make this the kind of discussion supporters of the program would like to use to preserve it, but when you bare away the leaves the simple facts are plain. ObamaCare's limb's are dead because it is a sellout to insurance companies financed by the taxpayers of America. Up Next: Repeal and Replace.

The Russians Are Coming

There can't be a single non-partisan observer that couldn't see this coming. The Democrats laid the plan for the Putin Card (You remember, The Democrat's Dirty Trick deck (see below)) last Spring. All through the Primary campaign and the summer Hillary Clinton, her campaign staff and her lapdog press corps continually connected Donald Trump to Putin. She went as far as to call Trump a Putin puppet in a Presidential Debate. In August the Obama Administration announced the report signed off on by our 17 intelligence agencies that indicated the possibility of Russia trying to effect America's election process. On August 28th I tweeted "The Obama Administration is already preparing for a Trump victory by saying Russians have hacked into some state election systems." On September 15th,  I said "I predicted the Russian/DNC hack connection to Trump by Hilary two weeks ago. Even before the election the Democrats were playing the Putin Card."  On Oct 11th,  I tweeted  "Democrats now consistently playing the Trump-Putin conspiracy gambit because they can't beat @real Donald Trump on the issues."  On October 16th,  I tweeted "Trump will win in 2016 - Democrats will contest based on the Russian fiction created by Obama and Democrats." The point is, as I said earlier, this was entirely predictable.  Another Tweet: "With two weeks to go Obama is already preparing to contest the results if Trump wins by blaming the Russians." So here we are; The Electoral College has confirmed the result of the 2016 Presidential Election and Trump will become President on Jan 20th. But still the Democrat establishment, which includes Obama's Executive Branch agencies including the CIA and FBI, The Democrat party apparatus, and a compliant mainstream media, continues to play the Putin Card in the hope of eroding confidence in Trump and destroying his Presidency before it starts. Let me make another prediction: Time and investigation will show WikiLeaks and the Podesta emails and Hillary herself are what really destroyed her chances in the 2016 Election. The hacking of the Democrat National Committee was done by an insider who gave the emails to WikiLeaks. Podesta gave up his own emails through a "phishing" email that requested he change his password-he fell for it. In the same way Saddam Hussein was said to have nuclear weapons, Putin is said to be the hacker-in-chief who hacked our election system to engineer a Trump victory. An investigation will prove Putin and the Russians had nothing to do with Podesta's emails or the DNC hack, What those emails showed would destroy any candidacy.  I would point out that until Hillary lost the election even Obama said our system couldn't be hacked enough to alter the results since most of our polling places aren't even online or connected to the internet. So there you have it. The Russian Gambit, The Putin Card; call it what you want. One more prediction: Despite their gargantuan effort to destroy the Trump Presidency it will fail.

The Trump Card In The Democrat Deck

You have to admire these Democrats. To paraphrase President Trump in his last debate with Hilary Clinton: They never give up. They used every card in the deck to defeat Trump and even with a compliant media that admitted its intention to help Hilary and the Democrats defeat him, they failed. They tried the "rich" card, it failed. They tried the "race" card, it failed. They tried the "white supremacy" card, and it failed too.  But they still weren't done. They tried the "Hitler" card and then in August they took their first shot in the Russian Gambit. For almost a year the Democrats and the Hilary Campaign played up the idea that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin were great friends and Russia was a great threat to the United States; something Obama ridiculed Mitt Romney for in the 2012 election. In late August before the election Barack Obama told the press there are indicators that the Russians may be trying to interfere with our election process. This was in the midst of the WikiLeaks release of Clinton Campaign Director John Podesta emails which showed the really ugly underbelly of the Clinton Campaign. Hilary's contempt for ordinary people was exposed, as was the collusion between the press and the Hilary campaign and the underhanded tactics used by the Clinton Campaign to gain an edge. As far as WikiLeaks is concerned there is no evidence that the Russians had anything to do with helping Julian Assange get that info, Podesta foolishly did it all himself. It is almost clear that the hacking of the Democratic Committee was an inside job. (True and efficient hacking is done with stolen or purchased passwords, not algorithms)  In October President Obama dismissed voter fraud by saying that our election process was too decentralized to be effectively hacked and that even if it were possible, noting that much of the voting system isn't even on the internet, you couldn't have enough fraud to effect the outcome. "So Donald Trump should stop whining and go out and get the votes," he said.  Now however Obama is singing a different tune. The Obama Administration has released a year old report that purports, but does not prove, there nay have been Russian involvement. The new Congress, will be busy trying to investigate this stuff so let me move on to the last card before the inauguration. (Opps-I  forgot the "recount" card; that failed too) The "electoral college" card, which be played on Monday Dec 19th, when the state electors meet to certify the Electoral College totals. .It is the final step before Donald Trump's victory is official.  Nine Democrats and one Republican hope to derail the hopes of the American people by preventing Trump from getting the votes required to become the 45th President. They will fail. He will be sworn in on January 20th and then the Democrats will play the rest of their cards: The "filibuster card" to slow the appointments of Cabinet Secretary's and Judges. The "sand in the gears" card to slow down the Legislative process. The "legal action" card to curtail Trump's overturning of executive orders and the implementation of new ones. The "media" card to slander and spread gossip about Trump, his staff and the Republicans in Congress. And finally at some point they will try the "impeachment" card. There are many cards in the Democrat deck of dirty tricks, but they will fail because there is no higher card in the deck than the Trump card.

Democrat Group Think; The Weapon of Choice

What is it with liberals? Whenever conservatives make a legitimate observation about a problem Democrats turn it into a group think argument about race, religion, gender or immgration just to name a few. For example take the latest furor over Islam and Islamic refugees from North Africa. Donald Trump suggested we halt immigration of Muslim refugees until we get a handle on the situation. Democrats, and Republicans who polish their apples, turned this into an insult to all Muslims thereby implying that Trump's statement was one of being anti-Muslim rather than being pro-security. This is  the Democrat playbook. It applies to race, religion, gender and immigration: So I wanted to provide Democrats with a little guide to understanding conservative criticism:
A- Criticizing Muslim terrorist's is not a criticism of all Muslims only those who practice terror.
B- Criticizing a minority group for its action is not a criticism of all minorities, only those that practice illegal action.
C- Critcizing a women for her action is not a criticism of all women, only the one specified.
D- Critcizing illegal immigrants is not a criticism of all immigrants, only those that are here illegally whether they entered illegally, over-stayed their visa or committed fraud to enter the country.

Understanding this is extremely important especially if you are an immigrant or a minority. Democrats have used this group think psychology for 50 years to keep immigrants in the shadows, minorities locked in little isolated communities with poor schools, no jobs and a future dependent on Democrat handouts. Democrats have rigged this system the same way they rigged the Primary so that Hilary can't lose. They want to secure the future of their political power at the expense people's lives and the future of their children. If you think that's a lie look at any Democratically-controlled city. Things in common include Sanctuary City status, impoverished neighborhoods, poor schools, high crime and no jobs. If you understand Democrat group think you can escape and vote in your own interest, which is to vote Republican. Wise up and be free, independent and better off.

Is the New Left Becoming the People They Loathe?

Donald Trump has awakened the savage beast of progressive politics. His candidacy is so frightening to them,  they are willing to put their supposed values of non-violence, equity and fairness on the chopping block to prevent Trump from putting out his message. Last week in Chicago, student protestors planned for two weeks and, with help from Black Lives Matter, La Raza and MoveOn.org,  made Trump's event so dangerous he had to cancel it. The very next day a man jumped the barricades and tried to attack Trump while he was speaking. CNN then spent two days trying to make the bearded thug a hero rather than expose him for the sniveling little coward he is. To compound its obvious bias against Trump a CNN commentator suggested no Republican in his right mind would try to speak at the University of Chicago. Why is that? Are progressives so afraid to hear other opinions they are willing to sacrifice the freedom of expression and freedom of speech of those they disagree with? Apparently so. The words said about Trump by his detractors are far worse than anything Trump has said about the protestors who have tried to ruin his events. So far one Trump supporter elbowed a protestor who gave him the finger. That's it. Meanwhile, Trump opponents have gotten into his events and deliberately started trouble in an effort to shut it down. They were not peaceful, they were not friendly; in a word they were thugs trying to deny Trump supporters their right to hear Trump speak. And, once again the Chicago event speaks for itself. My words will not get through to Black Lives Matter, La Raza or MoveOn.org, but maybe, just maybe, they may get through to you. The political left, which includes the Democrats, their candidates, the groups previously mentioned, as well as their influence peddlers in America's colleges and universities and media have targeted Trump because he scares them. His message is one that has attracted people from all groups despite the image being created. It is the race-baiters that cry racism. It is the most sexist that cry sexism. It is the supposed protectors of free speech that are acting to suppress it. I started by asking if the progressive left is becoming like those they profess to loathe. The answer is yes, they have.
