All the News That's Fit to be Tied

I have an axe to grind, but unlike the New York Times, I freely admit it.

Electoral Blackmail: The New Democrat Strategy

As the Democrat dream of a “blue wave” begins to collapse and their mob behavior against conservatives reaches new highs the Democrats have embarked on a new strategy; If we don’t elect them to a majority they promise to be more violent, more partisan, more angry and continue the harassment and assault on conservatives and our values. This week Hillary Clinton said “you cannot be civil with a party that wants to destroy what you stand for...if we are fortunate enough to win the House and Senate that is when civility can start again.”  Eric Holder, paraphrasing Michelle Obama said “when they go low, we kick em.” Add to this the actions of paid protestors indiscriminately attacking and harassing people, the incitement to this behavior by Democrat members of Congress and you have the ingredients for an insurrection. That is the Democrat promise. Elect us or the violence will continue. It is nothing more than a new fear tactic being trottted out in this cycle. Racism, sexism, homophobia and Roe v Wade no longer work so it’s time for Electoral Blackmail; elect us or we will hurt you.

Defending Cavanaugh

Judge Brett Cavanaugh has finally been confirmed to the Supreme Court and hereafter will be called Justice Cavanaugh. Despite every effort by the Democrats to derail his confirmation, make him withdraw from the process or otherwise tarnish his reputation he will be on the Supreme Court. To say he was dragged through the mud would be an understatement. To say Democrats broke every rule in the nomination protocol would be another understatement. They attacked Cavanaugh viciously throughout hearings until the accusations became too much to bear and he gave them a taste of their own medicine in defense. The media attacked him with false stories, political cartoons and esteemed panels of experts and accusers alledging he was a gang rapist, a drunk, had bad temperament and was so hideous he should not be able to coach girls basketball, something he has been doing for years, or even remain in his current position as a judge. Fortunately for America none of this worked. There will be more crying and gnashing of teeth by Democrats, their anti-Cavanaugh cadre, and the media, but they are getting what they deserve. There will be no asterisk, no impeachment and any additional orchestrated accusations will be exposed for what they are. Hopefully those that rendered false accusations, conspired to derail Cavanaugh and committed conspiracy and perjury to do it will pay, or else it will continue. An example of these people must be made in order to restore order to the process.

Democrats Mid-Term Election Assault

There is a lot of noise out there this week. There is the Christine Ford charade in the Senate, which is augmented by new allegations published in The New Yorker, all which have so far been refuted or are  unprovable. Add that to the FBI, DOJ de-classification of documents by the President and resulting leaks that simply verify what many have been saying: Intelligence services have been engaged in a deliberate attempt to destroy Donald Trump’s Presidency. And further, add to this the constant building of the “blue wave” narrative by the Democrats, and their media allies. The use of polls that interview 10-13 percent more Democrats than Republicans gives the media the results it wants. By calling the victory before Election Day, the Democrats are hoping people want to run with the winner more than live up to their principles. These are the ingredients of the Democrat assault on the President and the Republican House and Senate. The Democrats realize that if they do not win in November it’s over until 2024. They do not have a candidate who can beat Trump in 2020 and without impeachment or the deep state to do the dirty work of savaging the President they cannot prevent the swamp from being drained, the bleeding of minorities from their party and the recognition by the American people that the Democrat goal is power at any price. It does not matter who is slandered, how many lies it takes, how much division is fomented, the Democrats need power to exert control over you, me and anyone else in America. Without the Presidency, House, Senate or a liberal majority on The Supreme Court, the Democrats cannot implement the legislation required to control your life through taxes, regulation, education and healthcare. The beauty of Election Day is we get to choose. Trump’s battle with the Congress, the Deep State and media demonstrates that we, the citizens, can win this battle. When you vote pull the lever for the America you want to live in, not the one being falsely promised by the Democrat Party.

Woodward’s Book: What Does It Really Say?

Many Trump detractors find Bob Woodward’s new book exciting to read. It verifies all the things they have come to believe about Donald Trump: He is erratic, petulant, vindictive, dictatorial, a liar, a thief, a womanizer, a racist, sexist, homophobe and a xenophobe too. On top of that he is not smart or sophisticated enough to be President. He doesn’t understand the issues and must constantly be prevented from taking actions that could plunge America into war, depression, and worse. On the other hand a second view of the Woodward screed is that as President Donald Trump has relied on the expertise of many people in the Administrative bureaucracy. Many of them oppose his policies because they disrupt the system. His response has not been to fire them, but to hear and consider their points of view. If the White House seems chaotic it is because it is. The administration is barraged daily by bureaucrats, lobbyists, legislators and citizens trying to get a word in edgewise. In addition, this White House has the additional pressure of a rebelling bureaucracy, a special counsel, and a hostile press, all working as arms of the Democrat Party to impeach or remove the President from office. What Bob Woodward’ book really shows is that Donald J. Trump is fighting an out of control bureaucracy willing to do anything to take him out. In partnership with the media they attack him, his family, his allies and his supporters on a daily basis. They are trying to sabotage his agenda and resist the change he is trying to bring. Woodward’s book exposes the swampers and their attempt to compromise this President, and demonstrates that Trump is the right man at the right time; drain the swamp.

A Petition For Privacy

The latest “trumped” up scandal to try to destroy or at least cripple the Trump Presidency concerns the British firm Cambridge Analytics. They are accused (though they claim otherwise) of selling information and data to the Trump Presidential Campaign, as if this is some unusual act like necrophilia or something. Facebook was the first to complain, despite the fact that it opened the Facebook user base to the Presidential campaign of Barack Obama, which in part is credited with allowing the campaign to reach millions of new Millennial voters. However all that is a distraction from the real issue. Privacy is vanishing and by virtue of our inaction we are cooperating in its demise. Data about us is collected from our computers, telephones, jobs, credit bureaus, government agencies, organizations and clubs we participate in. Non-profit organizations sell our names, addresses, ages, salaries, employment data, income level and the list goes on. Even the Dept. of Motor Vehicles sells your information when you register your car or boat or trailer or truck and your driver’s license. Google and other apps track and record your every move, every store, every destination  throughout the day and sends to a central location where it is stored and sold. When you search for something on the web, stores selling that item start appearing in your browser. If you buy something the store or place you bought it from appears in your browser to sell you more. What is even worse is you can’t escape it without returning to the Stone Age. Did you ever try to close a Facebook account. It is almost impossible and even after you have succeeded, which can take months, they still keep your data. What about Google; they ain’t stupid. With a little work you can find out where all this monitoring activity takes place on your phone, however if you, for instance, turn off “location services” things like Google Maps or I-Phone’s  Find my Phone app wont work. I could go on for a long time on this but you get the idea. I hope that when the Congress looks into the collection and distribution of the personal data of individuals it decides that we need some protection from such intrusive activity. Privacy laws must be updated and people must have better options for opting out of what can only be called subversive and intrusive activity.

Look Out For Democrats in Republican Clothing

Everyone has heard the saying “a wolf in sheeps clothing,” and that is what we see in the Carter Lamb strategy of the 2018 Democrat Party. In the Pennsylvania Special Election Democrat Carter Lamb campaigned on supporting the Second Amendment, being Pro Life, supporting Trump’s tariff program and eschewing House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. In other words he campaigned as a Conservative in a district President Trump took by 20 points and was until this election a safe Republican seat. The Democrat Party just wants to win any Republican seat. Whatever conservative notions Carter Lamb has will be exorcised the day he is sworn in. He will vote for gun control, support abortion, be against the President’s tax and tariff programs and support whatever Leader the Democrats put up, be it Pelosi or someone else. Carter Lamb’s talking points and campaign rhetoric fooled enough Republicans to win the election by a small and still contested margin of 601 votes. Hopefully enough voters paid attention and now understand the Democrat’s Carter Lamb strategy. Do not be fooled by Democrats in Republicans suits and dresses. Republicans must keep the House and Senate to move the Trump Agenda.

California: America’s First Third World State

California is on its way to becoming the first third world state in America. With a middle class leaving the state in big numbers California is becoming a state of two classes.  The rich, powerful and connected living in gated, walled and guarded compounds, and poor white, minority, and illegal alien squatters living in slums, tent cities and the empty homes and commercial buildings deserted by its fleeing residents. California is the 6th largest economy in the world and recent decisions by California officials have moved the state into the third world danger zone. The state has become a magnet for the homeless and more than 2.5 million illegal aliens. Vagrants populate the streets of its major cities, tent cities are visible along its major roads and at the same time the rich, powerful and connected lived in fenced compounds with armed guards to protect them from the riff-raff. The state government has decided it will chose which laws it will support and which it will not. When it’s citizens make the same choice there will be no law and third worldism will have arrived in what may become a less than golden state. These are the things that characterize third world countries. California, it seems, is on its way to becoming the first third-world State.
