Short Takes – Independence Day, Can We Keep it?
Opinion July 6, 2018
Independence Day, Can We Keep It?
As Americans, we see that the focus of the rising tempo of incivility in our public discourse has moved from politics to issues of culture and we must ask why? Well, it’s because for America, the political arguments have already been settled although one side won’t admit it. It’s settled because of our Constitution which gives us our inalienable rights. The defense of that document has risen exponentially to the assault on it.
The great struggle now, between constitutionalists and the marxists has morphed into the cultural arena that avoids the distasteful facts of logic, truths and law, those trivial little items that impede their move to socialism. Its tenants, protected by “political correctness,” allows PC proponents to range widely in their destructive process of changing America’s culture, if not its laws, before the people could catch on. It almost worked, then along came Trump!
Political Correctness is the hand-maiden of diversity, multiculturalism, socialism, fascism and communism. It is the vehicle used to change our cultural norms. For example, once, the important emphasis taught in school was on the proper use of the English language. After the Civil Rights law era, It was abandoned as a requirement specifically because of diversity, inclusiveness and multiculturalism. Some couldn’t or wouldn’t understand it. Today, our language is a mishmash of Babel. That’s only one aspect of the Lefts hidden attack on Americas exceptionalism. If they can’t read or write, they’re going nowhere. That applies to all races.
Political correctness requires no authority. it survives on the precept of exclusion and fear. It exists solely on what “group think” determines to be correct and uses the power of the mob, whether its the media or the Hollywood Leftists, or the street thugs like Antifa and BLM, to challenge, almost daily, our Presidents authority. It is this fear that keeps us everyday, working class Americans in check because our side doesn’t do what they do. We are constitutionalists and expect the rule of law to function. We relay on debate and persuasion to make our choices and we are not prepared, yet, to bash heads
For the Left, political correctness denies the “free exercise clause” unless it’s for them alone. That requires disciplined adherence to group think or blind allegiance, and to disagree with them, is to invite the wrath of the Lefts public approbation like the rejection Kayne West is now experiencing for his apostasy.
The theater of the street, now extended into the dining rooms of public restaurants, has become the stage for the Lefts threatening noisy attacks on constitutionality and civility. Screaming over the objections of others and drowning out other opinions is the Lefts only way to stay relevant. They intend to paralyze the process by division and political polarization and until Trump, they were succeeding. That being the case, how does the once successful union of American politics and culture survive in the future? Apparently it won’t. The Left is engaged in an all or nothing battle to kill our independence and move us into the common ranks of a one world government.
To be in politics is because those are paying jobs, even if it costs more to get the job then the job pays. There’s a contradiction there, surely? But, with the job however, comes the reward of legitimate authority, until the next election. Since the authority gifted by elections is essential to the Lefts agenda, they will take all steps necessary to ensure the Left does not lose those elections. So far, it’s not workings quite well as as they had hoped. It’s our Independence day, not theirs. So enjoy it. It’s Independence Day, not July 4th. Let’s try to keep it.
Remember, Freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em!
Short Takes – The Illegal Immigration Problem Will Still Persists
Opinion June 8, 2018
The Illegal Immigration Problem Will Still Persist
I was seriously alarmed listening to radio host Hugh Hewitt’s interview with Attorney General, Jeff Sessions on the subject of illegal immigration. In fact I couldn’t believe my ears when Hewitt argued on the basis of unfounded compassion “for the children” who are separated from their parents when apprehended at the border, to which Mr. Jeff Sessions replied, their is no compassion when children are separated from their parents when parents are headed for prison! I made the same observation in a recent essay on the subject.
Mr. Hewitt assumed a “compassionate conservative” attitude about the poor illegal immigrants children being taken (snatched) away from their parents at the borders. During the interview he persisted in tempting AG Sessions to express a level of compassion too .He did not. AG Sessions held his ground on the basis of the law.and rightly pointed out that the majority of those children were teens or young adults anyway.
Hugh Hewitt then asked: “There’s an organization called Kids in Need of Defense, and, they’re liberal activists, but they have a point that these children deserve representation, because many of them are eligible for asylum or refugee status. You’re the chief law enforcement officer. Are you guaranteeing that these 10,000 children have adequate access to legal counsel?” That entire premise is wrong. I contend, these people deserve no representation at our expense because they are stateless people and have no call for our protections. They are entitled to protection in custody, a bed, food and water and that’s it. That satisfies our moral duty.
This whole illegal aliens business, has been turned into a touchy feely, sobbing exercise in unwarranted compassion for the ignorant masses crashing our borders. Permitting it relaxes our defenses and diminishes our security. The porous border with Mexico, due to its ease of passage, is a magnet for the worlds worst now including Chinese tongs, Islamic Jihadists, drug cartels, MS-13 gang members and who knows what other criminal types?
When caught, they’ve been coached to simply claim ‘amnesty’ and demand entry. Except for Cuban’s and maybe Venezuelans now, no other South American country’s citizens should expect “amnesty.” But, that problem can be solved if Congress, gets over it’s hand wringing deliberations on DACA, make claiming amnesty applicable only at US Ports of Entry and nowhere else. Illegal DACA children are still Stateless People. DACA was one of Obama’s “pen and phone’ deals, not supported by law, not ratified by Congress not agreed to by Americans, but, a feel good policy created out of thin air to up the Democrat voter rolls. Dispensing drivers licenses and voter ID cards to illegals, as California does, diminishes the very basis of our representative government, not to mention their drivers licenses in out of state jurisdictions.
Clearly Congress is disconnected from the will of the American people unable as they are to make a decision as the law provides, on stopping the invasion of America. Half of California’s Mexicans are against DACA because it steals from their legitimacy. On top of that, California is almost bankrupt yet the Progressive government still piles on more freebies for illegals.
Members of congress, whose only goal is their re-election, must face the demands of their constituents, for and against, amnesty. The majority is “anti” amnesty yet, the loudest screaming voices for amnesty and work authorizations, from the Left, will drive them to legalize millions of illegals who have no desire to become Americans, join our culture, or obey our laws, the will of the people be damned. What an argument for term limits.

Short Takes – A Return to the Draft? A Memorial Day Thought
Opinion May 30, 2018
Suggestions are swirling again about a return to the draft. For those born after the 1960’s, the draft was compulsory military service for two or more years. Throughout America’s history from the Civil War to Vietnam, different rules governed who was drafted, how one could get a deferment or a buy out, or get a political commission to work his time on a staff. That was all rife for abuse, and, it was abused.
Deferments were applied to account for medical reasons like, say flat feet and lung diseases, but a medical officer at the induction stations would make that decision. If you got your notice, you had to show up for induction and if you passed, your life changed forever.
Political deferments for celebrities, politicians and sons of politicians, like Ted Kennedy, were created while many others, stood up, begging their way into uniform. John Kennedy and his older brother did so. They weren’t famous then but their father had been US Ambassador to the UK. Hollywood stars flocked to the ranks during WW2 and did their duty as the government needed, including combat.
The draft was a numbers system, most draftees going into the army. With usable skills, one could be enrolled in a technical program for training as a mechanic, medic, or radio operator, otherwise, it was into one of the combat arms, Infantry sucking up the most. Only a few draftees ever went into the US Marine Corps or the Navy, because they filled their needed quota’s with volunteers. Many escaped the draft by school deferments and some when drafted, ran away to hide. During the Vietnam war, it was to Canada.
Many, eager to fight, volunteered to join a combat arm. That’s where the action was. For many, it wasn’t until they were covered with blood, sweat and the brains of their buddies, that they realized the awful truth about combat. It’ was then when a boy became a man and what he experienced would stay with him for the rest of his life. Every Memorial Day reveals more of these stories as the old Vet’s pass away.
Since 9/11, the military has had no problem filling its ranks with volunteers.These patriotic young people, with a few exceptions like Bowie Bergdahl, stay the course and remained loyal active members of their units. Many re-enlist to continue the fight and many comeback without limbs, emotionally traumatized or forever needing care. Some alas, never come back.
America celebrates these fighters twice a year, Memorial day and Veteran’s day when the sacrifices of our military men and women are recognized and honored. How many people do you see today stand to attention when the American flag passes in review? Veterans always do. It’s honor and sacrifice.
The problem with a return of the draft today is that most of our youths are not qualified. They have been subverted by an education system, its teaching ranks filled with the anti-war radicals from the 1960’s, like the Clintons. Our schools have failed to educate our young people about Americas traditional values and why we fight, or have lied about our history making it hateful. That’s a sad but true fact. The one great pool of true Americanism, the Boy Scouts, is being perverted into a potential pool for pedophiles.
Do we need a return to the military draft? I don’t think so! To recreate a program that expects its personal to perform, even to die on a battlefield, but turns many of them into deserters requiring efforts by the military to keep them, was never good for moral. Cowards in the ranks reveal themselves quickly and their whining can bring the moral of a whole unit down to their level of defeatism. Too, a new draft would now necessarily demand the inclusion of our daughters. Those that want to go, can do so now. Those that don’t, should stay home and tend the home fires. Today, on this Memorial Day, just be thankful Hillary Clinton’s not President. That’s worth cheering about.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! Hug a soldier today and have a happy Memorial day event. (26May18)
Our Descent into Darkness
Opinion August 8, 2019
With each mass shooting perpetrated in our society upon wholly innocent men, women and children, the Marxist Democrat propaganda arm, feigning faux outrage, immediately points the bony finger of blame at Donald Trump. Why? Because they have nothing left in their quiver and he has them beat in the public arena with the truth and logic.
Americans are becoming inured to the shock that is now the too frequent indiscriminate murders in public places of American citizens. The loony reactions of the media to these bloody events is convincing Americans that they cannot be trusted because we now know they lie, obfuscate, hide the truth, report out of context the truths, and are in fact, the most complicit agency in leading Americas Descent into Darkness. Why does the media not care about the mass daily killings in Chicago, Baltimore and other Liberal American cities or the murders of babies in the daily gross lots? Just asking!
It’s a last act of desperation for an industry that openly took sides in the political war that will decide Americas future, and tried to hide it. They are leading our descent into a life that will be one of misery and despair, a la Venezuela and Cuba, while attacking Trump who is polishing up the “Shining City on the Hill” image of Ronald Reagan.
The media has lost, like the FBI has, the trust of the American people. We’re not as stupid out here as they believe we are. For decades we’ve passively watched as the nice, pleasant sounding, siren voice of Socialism’s doctrine of “fairness and multiculturalism,” crept into our daily lives, then morph into screeds of white privilege, reparations, wealth redistribution and white shame, and slowly supplant our original values of independence, self-reliance, property ownership and individual achievement, the beginning of our descent into darkness. Happily, Americans are waking up but, that could portend more violence.
Trump “tweets” the truth and they can’t abide it. They have no retort except to scream louder, try to identify every supporter of President Trump as demonic white supremacists, tea party black folks hating, far right wing radical racist, even before the facts of events are ever revealed. If not, they’re simply made up. “Never let a good tragedy go to waste.” The word “racist” has lost its sting so watch as ‘white supremacists’ replaces ‘racists’ in daily print.
In the El Paso murders, I agree. It was a Hispanic hating young white youth who surrendered to police instead of dying by his own hand or confronting the police in a futile shootout. This man was a coward. The Dayton murderer on the other hand, was demonstrably an evil, demonic person who expressly believed in the socialist ideals of Bernie Sanders and the Squaw woman, Elizabeth Warren. Yet no one blames those two politicians for the murders. Indeed, when his political affiliation was discovered his whole background story was just dropped from the front page of the Democrats propaganda arms. Another blow to fairness.
The Left’s media propaganda machine, always seems to be a step ahead of the dimwitted Democrats in pursuing the lies of “white supremacy,” the new code word for “racism.” All the Democrat presidential candidate especially the spavined Joe Biden, are trying very hard to brand President Trump, and by inference, the rest of us, as far-right wing, lunatic fringe “racists” that should be attacked and openly killed. The Black Lives Matters nimrod, screaming out her hate toward Mitch McConnell’s home, calling for him to be stabbed in the heart, makes my case. The Antifa’s who show up at street protests hooded and masked have done just that.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em!
Injustice Personified
Opinion December 14, 2018
I’m dumbstruck when I consider all the money authorized and wasted by the Republican
controlled congress over the past two years, on the baseless Trump-Russia collusion fallacy
when the low hanging fruit of the Clinton’s RICO reeking cabal that is Bill and Hillary’s self
sustaining charitable foundation offers such low hanging fruit so ripe for the picking that even
the most incompetent federal prosecutor, even one with a mail order degree, could win.
The avowed criminal, former FBI Director James Comey, by his own admission, is one of those
low hanging fruits ready for easy harvesting. He should be a “slam-dunk” for prosecution. So is
Andy McCabe and Peter Strzok, Bruce Orr and the several previously disgraced attorneys
serving on Mueller’s team of Trump hating investigators. (Sen Stevens R-AK)
Now that Pelosi and her stable of mindless idiot socialists are soon to take over the House, the
GOP has finally decided, in its last three weeks of existence, to consider the crimes of the
Clinton Foundation ignored by the DoJ, and investigate ‘em themselves. It’s all Nonsense!
Pushed for time the GOP has now decided they had better look like they are doing something to
appease the base. But remember, most of these people are still part of the “uni-party’ that is the
deep state, many of them still hate Donald Trump.
Taking down the Clintons should be easy via her foundation. Hillary, the driving force of her
foundation’s corruption, unfortunately, lacks the people skills that should keep the little people
under her, the now mass of whistleblowers coming forward, from turning “states evidence” and
dropping a dime. Many have physical evidence proving her corruption and now we learn that
one whistleblower has been the recipient of a late night FBI search warrant. Why was that? He
already gave them everything he had. It was to shut him and other whistleblowers up.
The mafia does that for their own security except they don’t take chances; the whistleblower is
usually killed publicly, for all to see so that other witnesses will readjust their commitment to law
and order. Right now, a bunch of former Clinton employees, State Dept. employees and others,
who Hillary held in contempt as simply “little people,” servants beneath her dignity, are ready to
dump on her. So, let’s get it going.
The former senior executive levels of the FBI, Director James Comey, and his associates,
considered themselves sacrosanct when it comes to enforcing the law of the United States,
except when the law interferes with their own needs. At the moment, they want Trump out of
office before they lose everything and, hiding behind the facade of counterintelligence, they set
about fabricating a case against Donald Trump, because he won and their favorite, Hillary
Clinton, didn’t. That is injustice personified and corruption at its most apparent.
One of their early targets was Trumps National Security advisor, Lt. Gen. Flynn, former Director
of the DIA, with a distinguished thirty-year army career. Through ruse and subterfuge, they
tricked the general into making statements, not under Miranda warning, that they claimed were
lies. Lying to the FBI constitutes a serious crime if nothing else can be proven. It now appears
the Federal judge involved in the Flynn case has serious doubts about the FBI’s handling of the
Flynn case. Flynn pled ‘guilty’ just to avoid bankruptcy but, none the less, he was left near
destitute, in penury. That’s injustice personified. What do we learn from this tawdry business?
Stay out of politics? Perhaps! Trust the judiciary to do the right thing or absolutely never, ever
speak to or trust the FBI? All apply.

Myth’s, Illusions or Truths?
Opinion October 18, 2018
Most of our nation’s young people under the age of 30, are the products of some form of
government control. They enjoyed free meals at schools, health care, education, housing, etc..
The expected requirement of their acceptance was to obey teachers and school administrators.
The punishment that followed, if they deviated from the official dogma, was to be ostracized and
shamed. Through the collectivization of their thought process, they needed to only to know what
was taught to them and to ignore what they learn outside the school environment from their
parents, friends, relatives and Fox news. Attempts at original thought was/is discouraged.
Schools can’t proceed as they do without the political and financial support of politicians; the
very ones, the “Establishment Elites,” we are fighting today. It is they who organize the standard
dumb-down curriculum to ensure implementation of their socialist ideas without comment. All
propaganda and brainwashing. Don’t dare show up with a MAGA hat.
Unobstructed, politicians know that the more they lie the more we tend to believe them and
become more dependent on them. Without the constant barrage of propaganda, our attention
span would decline and they’ed lose control over our actions. The present predicament of the
Progressive sneaked up on ‘em and their supporters in the elections of 2012, 2014 and 2016.
The Democrat Elites lost control because believed their own nonsense and didn’t see the Trump
tidal wave coming. We see it often enough when we recognize otherwise smart folks acting
contrary to their own best interests without a second thought. That’s the power of propaganda
but, it must be a continuous daily drumming on the listeners’ senses if it is to stick!
Trump, like a breeze of fresh air, beyond all possible reasoning of media ‘pundents,’ confronted
them with a serious challenge to their belief system and their minds closed tight, because,
without a script or a firm belief that their dumbing down of the populous has really worked, they
don’t know what to do. Witness Sen. Elizabeth, the Indian Princess. Her defense of her
Pocahontas DNA tests was a fraud. That wee drop of native blood she says she has comes
from South America, from an illegal no doubt. Trump trolled her and, like a slippery fish bent on
absolution, she rose to the bait and now looks like a complete fool. It’s exactly the same for silly
Hillary who thinks she and Bill can tour the country, at $1000.00 a head, and draw the big
crowds like Trump does.
When challenged, progressives immediately go into avoidance behavior. They scream, holler or
’PooPoo’ the challenge as a “Vast Right-Wing conspiracy,” label it as stupid and unworkable and
move on to the next subject threatening dire punishment for any who dare question their truth.
Alinskites know that organized and sophisticated propaganda operates outside the normal level
of intelligence. So, without some reason to ask questions, as many intelligent people don’t, they
accept the lies and myths the same as the mass general population. Repeated often enough,
the propaganda then becomes conventional wisdom because, we rarely accept challenges to
conventional wisdom. Once belittled, it’s never considered again. Here is where they ignore
facts even when those facts support contrary knowledge, and embrace “stupid.”
When do myths, used to persuade people, become dangerous? When the people accept them
as ‘benefits. That’s the power of propaganda. Losing an illusion actually makes us wiser than
finding a truth.

Is It The Unravelling?
Opinion October 1, 2018
In a desperate attempt to end the ceaseless flow of campaign drivel from pretenders, PAC’s
and politicians, most of whom suffer TDS, I met another appeal from John Kasich of Ohio to
separate me from my Trump generated earnings with the following polite missive:
“Dear Governor Kasich,
No Sir, I would not like to “chip in” to your campaign. That would be a waste of money because
we absolutely do not agree. Your message isn’t making any difference at all. You will never be
President. Your policies and ideals were rejected at the last election. You tallied fourth in the
Primaries and like a silly twit you continued to campaign even when second and third place
contenders had dropped out. Voters could see that you lacked common sense.
No one believes your message because bipartisanship with Democrats cannot possibly happen.
Democrats have become America’s enemies because they are Marxists. If you continue to
believe they can be accommodated to accept a constitutional representative government with
Republicans, through bipartisanship, then you’re not only a fool but a stupid one as well.
You said you called for a delay in the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing because of “the serious
accusations against Judge Kavanaugh,” playing right into the Democrat hands to delay, delay,
delay. What serious accusations? A patently false, thirty-six-year-old hit job on an unverifiable
allegation to which not even a crime scene, time, date or place can be ascribed? That makes
you a “fellow traveler” in the true sense of the word who, like Jeff Flake, is an avid Trump hater
suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Governor, you need to get a real life and stop
pretending that you matter any more or that anybody cares about you.
Americans voted Trump as President because he told us what he was going to do, then he set
about doing it, successfully! Your “bipartisanship” BS can’t compete with Trump’s success and
Americans don’t care about a fellow who doesn’t look and act Presidential, so long as he does
what he say’s and keeps his promises. Trump is doing that. Quit trying to spoil the pie.
Kindly remove me from your email list.”…& etc.
Even now, after the two-faced Arizona, Republican Senator Jeff Flake threw a monkey wrench
into the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings with his notion of being fair and bipartisan, (he turned
over) the Democrats can no longer conceal their true motives, refill the swamp at all costs to
regain and keep power – forever!
The Democrats operation “Ford” was a clumsily organized, last-minute campaign to obstruct
and delay the confirmation of Trump’s second appointee to the Supreme Court. I can’t wait for
the third. Such a campaign had to have been well funded. We saw expensive Democrat
lawyers, paid Soros protesters in the Senate hearing room admitted via Democrat Senator
issued tickets (Schumer), and a hysterical nitwit in an elevator screaming at Sen. Flake
nonsense about not protecting her fat body, we’ve seen ejected Senate protestors being paid
cash out of doors, and now we learn that through the device of a “GoFundMe” site, Dr. Ford will
be $700,000 dollars richer at weeks end. How about them apples?
One fact remains inviolable: Jeff Flake is a moral weakling. For whatever reason (TDS) he has
violated his party’s trust, turned to the ‘Dark Side,’ and foolishly entertains the notion he has the
moxie, skill and aptitude to challenge Trump in 2020. It’s an unravelling coming for the Dark
Side. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (30Sep18)
Making Choices
Opinion September 7, 2018
Every day, we all are faced with making choices. Some are automatic like a shave and shower
and tying our shoes, but the really hard ones, what to wear, what to have for breakfast and how
to avoid work that day, actually requires some thought process. Other are made easy for us like
the News Media that expects us to swallow what they tell us as the truth, even when it isn’t. Like
Pavlov's dog, they expect us to respond accordingly, so long as it advances the Left’s agenda.
Politically, the tawdry display by the degenerate Socialist party USA (Democrats) at this weeks
Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, including by two potential Democrat contenders for Trumps
job, both Marxists, is scary to even contemplate let alone consider seriously as even possible.
Two Democrat hopefuls for POTUS sitting on the Senate Judicial Committee, Cory Booker and
Kamala Harris, demonstrated their complete lack of comity, decency, integrity, respect, and
statesmanship to question their bonafides even to be US Senators. Both were incredibly
disrespectful with their constant ‘showboating’ interruptions, that, combined with the other
Socialist nimrods on the committee who behaved as disrespectfully, then our choices for
political leaders should be easy. Immediately Sen. Grassley opened the hearing, they came on
him like a swarm of locusts attacking a wheat field. What we saw was a Democrat version of
how ‘democracy’ should work. We do have choices, don’t we?
The Socialist Democrat party wants us to accept that America is a ‘democracy’ when it clearly is
not. The word Democracy is found nowhere in our Constitution. Presently, the deranged
socialists, still distraught that Trump beat Hillary for the grand prize, are now demanding a
referendum to change the election process for President from the Electoral to a popular vote.
That’s pure democracy, leadership by popular choice, follow the mob, do what the crowd wants,
“It’s what the people want!” Of course such a change would leave the selection of our President
forever in the hands of the illiterate, unwashed, illegal voters in America’s great sanctuary cities
and states like San Francisco, California, Portland Oregon, Seattle, Washington, Florida and
New York City, hot beds of progressivism, petri dishes in which foment the germs of Marxism.
If you watched any of the Democrat circus performance at the hearings of the Senate Judicial
Committee on the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh then, unless you are a complete Marxist in
heart, mind, body and soul, any thought of voting for any Democrat in this mid-term election,
should have been washed away. It’s a choice we have to make.
It turns out, and confirmed by Democrat Senator Dick Durbin no less, that the disruption of the
hearings had been indeed been orchestrated by Chuckie Schumer. Well, who would have
believed it? The spectators who trumpeted their orchestrated outrage and were dragged out
screaming their socialist nonsense, were there by invitation and required tickets to get in, issued
to them by Democrat Senators. When asked, Schumer said Democrats even wrestled over
staging a mass walkout on the Kavanaugh nomination hearing. Maybe they should have done it.
Isn’t it better to be thought a class of fools than stay there and remove all doubt?
What we see is that the Democrats cannot derail the Kavanaugh confirmation. He going to the
Supreme Court and they can’t stomach. Worse, they worry that Trump may get a third and even
a fourth choice during his remaining six years. I hope the Democrats choke on it. It’s our choice!

Short Takes- Big Government, What Is It?
Opinion August 6, 2018
Big Government, What is It?
What the hell is going on up there? Mueller’s attempts to bring down Donald Trump because the “Left” demands it is a fiasco, a total mishmash of lies, innuendos, false reports, foreign spies and traitorous Obama administration officials at the highest levels of the FBI, CIA, DIA and DOJ, doing everything in their power to strip Americans of their prize, the swamp drainer in the White House. It’s the Deep State walking all over themselves trying to prove one thing while proving the other. Trump didn’t do it and Hillary did. So there!
This whole tawdry business of leftist political dysfunction, all because they thought the criminal, Hillary Clinton would be a “shoe in” for president instead of the Bronx Buffoon, Donald Trump, is telling. Conservatives must festinate the demise of the Democrats.
The evidence against Clinton’s criminality is so transparent, so pervasive and so prima facia conclusive that it’s incredible she’s not already in the dock. This includes her entire plethora of criminal hangers-on and job seekers willing to suborn their souls for socialism. It has already permeated the ranks of those we call the “Deep State” or the regulatory state, or the federal bureaucracy, however you wish to call it. The deep state also includes the world’s International banks, the military-Industrial complex, as “Ike” warned us to be aware of, and the education-union collaboration, among other corrupted groups. Follow the money.
The Deep State is the sole creation of Congress, several decades of ‘em in fact, a collection of bickering adolescents unable to do the job the Constitution has outlined for them. Instead, being too busy, they authorized the creation of countless bureaus, agencies and departments, each empowered to make the thousands of pages of rules and regulations in the Federal Register designed to control us, rob us of our freedoms and enslave us to big government.
The Left attacks us through political correctness on several fronts: the threats of climate change, racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, hate crimes, white privilege and the fearful armed citizen who stands in the way of their takeover control of a subdued America’s economic engine.
They fear armed Americans. As for climate change, any geologist or paleontologist can tell us about the earth’s history of climate change by just looking at fossils and exposed rock strata’s. Thats a non story. As for “Gun Control” that’s a protected right given to us in our constitution and must be defended at all costs, yet, the Left continues to attack the one thing they fear, freedom.
Conservatives must argue that the “Left” wants us disarmed, not because of school shootings or the odd murder or robbery. Those are mere tactics. Shootings won’t stop regardless of any more gun law, so confiscation is their answer. When we’re disarmed, we can’t protect ourselves from the hoodlums, gang members and car jackers who ignore the laws anyway.
If they succeed, the unarmed citizen, no longer able to defend himself, will have to demand government protect them and they can’t. Being armed is our right but how we feel about exercising that right doesn’t matter to them. it becomes clear that our “rights” as given to us by our Founders, are unalienable. The “Deep State” permits government to allow or rescind gun possession not upon the whims of a majority opinion (democracy) but by law.
Elections count and the socialist hoard of young millinials now clambering to become politicians have already drunk the “Kool Aide” of socialist poison that threatens our existence. Beware! Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (03Aug18)
Short Takes – GOP’s Success or Failure?
Opinion July 30, 2018
GOP’s Success or Failure?
Trumps success by his individual determination to return pride and economic success to
America with his non traditional bash ‘em policies that “elite" politicians simply do not
understand, is leading the political change in American. Some call it the Trump Train, others
thinks it’s hogwash. If the GOP, even with its few elite rogue elements still holding office, fails to
keep the House, America is in for a very rough ride indeed.
A few Republican politicians understand that we are in a historic cycle of desperately needed
political change and are working to keep Trump’s momentum going. Like him or not, Trump is
making things happen for the best. Does the compassionate conservative of a bygone era,
Ohio’s Governor John Kasich, really believe he can top Trump by reengaging the GOP in the
coils of socialist government elitism? I seriously don’t think he can.
If that were so, then why is the GOP still fearful of a “Blue Wave” in this coming 2018 election?
Is there a “Blue Wave” coming or is all rhetorical media BS designed to frighten voters into
voting Democrat? Democrats have nothing to offer that remotely even compares to Trumps
success. All they can do, and are doing, is filling the airways with peripheral nonsense.
The non ‘Freedom Caucus’ GOP members of the House know full well the dangers of the
Marxist Democrat party regaining power. They want a complete reversal of Trumps economic
success (4.1% growth) so citizens will again become dependent on government provided
Socialism. They want open borders for the worlds immigrants to flood in and they want
sanctuary cities for those already here illegally. if the Senate were to go along with a Democrat
House, then Trump would be removed,“tout suite.” Gone would be his tax cuts, American jobs,
prosperity and freedom. The reward will be an immediate reorganization of the welfare state,
socialized health care and open borders and with it the promise of a Socialist utopia, a la,
Venezuela. When will they ever learn?
To date, remaining members of the GOP ‘elite’ class, still cling to the vain hope that the now
completely phony Mueller inquiry will find something against Trump that will ensure his removal
and the survival of the corrupt deep state, and protect their role in it.
The GOP’s problem is, unlike Trump, they don’t keep their promises. They promised smaller
government and grew it bigger. They promised to balance the budget yet threw it into overdrive.
They promised to repeal ObamaCare and didn’t, and Trump had to do it piece-meal. They
promised to fully, fund and build a wall along the southern border, stop borrowing money that
runs up the national debt, and cut taxes to sustain Americas economic revival.
It is no secret the House has been in need of new leadership. It has a GOP ‘elite’ with Paul
Ryan at the helm but, as it turns out, he is part of the problem and can barely disguise his own
contempt for the President. Ryan doesn’t see the future through Trumps eyes so, because of
the growing in-house opposition against him, he has thrown in the towel and will retire in
November. Until then, the House remains effectively, all but leaderless.
The Freedom Caucus is gaining hegemony in the House with Rep. Jim Jordan in the main role
as Speaker. The old guard still have McCarthy and the bullet ridden Scalise as popular choices
but the scene has changed and their brand of leadership, designed to save the un-savable, will
no longer satisfy the base. It’s time to get on the Trump Train and Make America Great Again.

Short Takes – What We Learned From Helsinki, 2018
Opinion July 18, 2018
What We Learned From Helsinki, 2018.
We watched a clash of two techniques at the Helsinki Summit yesterday, Trump’s The Art of the Deal and the other, The Art of Deception, as practiced by KGB’er Vladimir Putin. After the joint press conference two things emerged that need to be understood. President Trump is a deal maker. He thinks in those terms and he employe’s the idea of let’s not fight, but let’s both succeed, so long as it doesn’t harm America and is good for you. Putin is a czarists!
In the American political scene, those techniques managed to sweep away all opposition from Republican contenders challenging him for the GOP nomination. They worked to bring along American voters to drive the Democrats from the field. It worked and by doing so drove the Left crazy. It did not work against Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Trump looked weak and that’s a danger to the base. I hope he will learn from that experience. He usually does.
I do not doubt that President Trump was fully briefed on the deceptive characteristics he would face with his Mano-a-Mano with Vladimir Putin, a career KGB officer who is skilled, not in the Art of the Deal, but in the Art of Deception. Russians are not New York real estate brokers. They seek a restoration of empire and power, not buildings. Therein lies the differences.
Putin’s post “Summit” interview with Fox News reporter Chris Wallace, revealed to even the most casual observer, the purest application of the techniques of the Art of Deception by Putin. His body language, when examined in minute detail, as it will be, was so evident of deception that practitioners of Kinesic interview techniques will be able to write thesis on what Putin revealed through his body language alone, lies and deceptions. He is a practiced Russian politician and the history of Russian politician’s suggests they don’t make deals unless there’s a gun to their head.
What gun does Trump hold to Putins head? It’s what Trump knows best, how to make profits, especially when his opponent is in deep economic trouble. Trump’s gun is his continued sanctions against Russia. They’re working and it’s hurting. What does Putin have to counter Trump? It was Russia’s new natural gas deal with Germany a project soon, I fear, to come to an end. It’s also Russia’s support for Syria, which, as foreign policy, Russia cannot afford, and the massive amount of GDP Russia is pouring into it’s military, especially it’s deep water navy.
Trump was not coruscating in his post “Summit” interview and it has alarmed his base. It drove the American media wild with cheers and jeers and predictions of Trump’s early demise. But, as they’re already demented and would seized any rumor as a truth and exploit it, fewer people will believe them. Beware the Russians because they will exploit this apparent weakness.
Winners and losers are already being touted or jeered and by all accounts, at least by the Leftist media, Trump lost and Putin won. Not only did Trump lose, he was made to look the fool and so, therefore, must be guilty of treason. But, regardless, Russia is still in the throes of economic decline unable to afford their adventurism, still needs relief for its infrastructure expenses. It needs to earn some serious cash.
If we suspected that nothing noteworthy would come out of the Summit, the Left’s reaction would still hover between sneering contempt and laughter while Trump’s base will experience their first bout of mild depression. The late night comedy shows will be veritable clown shows regardless of the truths. And, this too shall pass. Trump is still our best fighter yet!

Short Takes – The Congessional Circus
Opinion July 18, 2018
The Congressional Circus
Well, what more can be said about July 12th’s Congressional hearing circus featuring Peter Strzok as ring master, except to point out the obvious, that the Democrat party, all of them, shouting out objections to Republican questions of the witness, praising the shamed witness with accolades for his bravery and Purple Hearts for his wounds, are morons determined to defend the indefensible, stretch the imagination into the realm of fairy tales, and strive to prove themselves to be, in fact, enemies of America.
Not enemies of America the country, filled as it is with us hopeless “Deplorable’s,” as they say, but America the Idea; the constitutional America that enjoy’s the rule of law; the America nurtured on the field of battle with the blood of patriots soaked into its soil; the America of self-determination, personal freedom and prosperity if you can earn it.
Strzok, having risen into the higher ranks of the FBI, convinced of the righteousness of his and his girlfriend preserving the deep state by torpedoing Trumps campaign and, as determined to protect the shadow government of Barak Obama and all its odious appendages, strides defiantly into the Congressional interrogation chamber to attempt to set in concrete the lies that have already been made visible by their own clumsiness. The truth is ineluctable.
We were entertained if not outraged, by the haughty, contentious representative of official government corruption from the highest levels of the civil service. Agent Strzok who, through the use of rhetoric, alternate word definitions and denials of his own written intent to deny Trump the presidency, attempted to traduce the committee by his defiance. Democrats were pleased.
Some say the confrontation was “historic”. Maybe, but I don’t think so. It was tawdry! A Civil servant of the FBI who disgraced his badge and brought embarrassment to the agent corps of honest bureau investigators who also, in a stroke, destroyed the trust that American citizens once implicitly had in the product the FBI turned out. Unlike all other agencies of the federal government, only he FBI exists without a mission statement, no congressional limits on its activities and no accounting to Congress on its activities. It claims sovereign immunity from scrutiny because its work to protect Americans must remain hidden. A sure formula for corruption. Congress must correct that. Maybe they should stick to bank robberies.
It was the Democrats who thought the hearing was a “circus” and “ridiculous.” Still clinging to the faint hope that Mueller may finally find something they can use to impeach Trump, they claim the hearings are only designed to chip away at the integrity of the FBI and the Mueller investigation. Who can believe that? Rep. Hakeem Jeffries,(D-NY) called the hearing a “kangaroo court. It is a three-ring circus, It is not even meritorious of an investigation by Ace Ventura, Pet Detective let alone 75 members of the United State Congress.” Democrats are a leaderless rabble looking to stay afloat in a ship punched full of holes and sinking fast.
We have yet to hear from the lovely and talented Lisa Page, who refused to comply with a congressional subpoena to appear for her session with Congress. The probable reason is so when she does appear, her answers will comport with her lover Strzok’s. Another waste of time?
The corruption exposed thus far is trial-able on the basis of physical evidence alone. The Clinton toady’s from Comey to Lynch and Lisa Page and Strzok, and all in between should face a Grand Jury, trial and hopefully imprisonment. That will start the healing of America.

Predictable Outrage – Stop SCOTUS
First, the good news: The danger of a youthful soccer team perishing in a monsoon filled cave deep in the jungles of Thailand after nearly two weeks, is now ended. All twelve boys and their leader have been rescued by the splendid efforts of Thai Navy divers and other volunteers. Sad that one diver died in the effort. To Democrats, it had to have been Trumps doing all along to deflect news of his programs successes to make America great again.
At the same time, a conservative candidate for the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the Washington DC Circuit, was introduced as the President’s choice to fill the seat of the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. Predictably, the street zombies on the left went into action, selecting the correct name signs from the prepared pile of signs already laid by to protest whoever of the four candidates Trump picked, was available to select from. Predictable!
In front of the Supreme Court, after the announcement, the outraged Left, encouraged by the elderly Bernie Sanders, issued a call for resistance to Trump’s government. The “Left” has gone completely “nuts.” It does beg the question though, are the Progressive cohorts of the Left now willing to resort to violence to express their outrage? The growing body of evidence suggests that “yes” they will!. Fox New’s, covering the expected protest event in front of the Supreme Court, faced that very possibility. Predictable!
Senate minority leader, Chuckie Schumer, as expected, announced he would oppose Judge Kavanaugh’s selection, on principle. But, we knew that because he said he would oppose any of Trumps picks. The new slogan for the Progressive Democrats must be: “Remember Garland,” Obama’s final choice for the Supreme Court who was totally ignored by the Republican Senate under Mitch McConnell’s leadership. Then came Gorsuch! Predictable!
President Trump praised his selection for his “impeccable credentials, unsurpassed qualifications, and a proven commitment to equal justice under the law.” Trump also urged Sen. majority leader, Mitch McConnell, to act swiftly to confirm Kavanaugh. It’s important to keep pressure on the Democrats, first to make them reveal their animus to Trumps choice and to reduce campaigning time for Democrats in their districts, at least for those seeking re-election.
Can we next expect the Democrats to wheel out some skanky old broad who claims she had been the unwarranted victim of Kavanaugh’s sexual advances when they were in grammer school? Wait for it. It’s coming as surely as elm blight comes in January.
The Left will focus “on the children” and will undoubtedly demand to know how the new Justice would rule of the government snatching children away from their parents at the southern border. They will say we have a border crisis. Let’s Stop for a moment. I want to ask why do we have a crisis on our southern border? Let’s make it a crisis on Mexico’s northern border instead.
The Democrats will demand to know Kavanaugh’s position on abortion, Roe vs Wade hovering in the background. He’s Catholic not that that matters anymore, but abortion, by any other words is “infanticide.” To Democrats, mass scale killings is okay but separating children at the borders from their criminal parents is not. The Democrats face a conundrum. If they love little children and are prostrate learning about separating them, then why is it okay to kill children in the womb? If they don’t mind killing the unborn, why do they care about wayward foreign children at our border? Just asking? Democrat outrage is predictable. They are communists!Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (10Jul18)

A Contagion of Mental Illness
Dementia appears to be a growing phenomena in our society, but really, it’s simply because there are more of us. But, for a whole group, a body of singular individuals to display the disease of mass hysteria, now infecting the Democrat party, is alarming.
Well, maybe not, Remember the Jim Jones mass suicide by poison event in Guayana a few years ago? So maybe it’s not so rare. The Jim Jones business was supposedly a Christian sect under siege while the loser Democrats bow the knee of fealty to the church of Progressivism and are distraught that the rest of us don’t. Their brave new world plans are in tatters.
In any event, while medical science strives to understand and control the causes of individual mental illnesses, they have no idea how to control the growing phenomena of mass hysteria that is consuming the Democrat-Socialist Party.
It is easily identifiable as Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and reveals itself daily in some form of collective outrage. Perhaps we can call the Democrats the “POP” or the Perpetually Outraged Party because that’s what they’re doing.
The November 2016 election triggered the spark that drove the POP’s nuts when their beloved candidate, Hillary Clinton, got ‘snuffed out’ by the populist, Donald Trump, even when they firmly believed the fix was in and she couldn’t lose. The POP’s failure to elevate Hillary Clinton to the Presidency as one who would validate their worldview, was more than their body politic could bear thus, the derangement antics to which we are now witness.
Understandably, the symptoms of derangement are not limited to the Deep State bureaucrats who technically do run the government as we see with the Mueller road show. The sickness has even spread out to little towns, like Lexington, in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, famous only because the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) is there and the Cadets once participated in a battle against the Union Army at New Market, losing five, and now the Red Hen Cafe fiasco.
The POP’s, totally incapable of containing their dissolution, is spinning out of control like a leaderless Antifa mob bent on making their point. Illuminaries like Maxine Waters, determined in her own mind to impeach Trump, rails against all logic, froths at the mouth directing her small cast of followers to confront conservatives when ever they see them, especially Trumps supporters and employees, and ignores pleas from her leadership to tone it down. She hasn’t and she won’t. For the GOP, she’s the gift that keeps on giving Thank you, Maxine!
Poor Nancy Pelosi no longer counts. She just sits there bewildered muttering nonsense that an embarrassed press ignores to save her the shame of acknowledging her approaching dementia.
Today, the POP’s ire is directed to stop the final nail being driven in their Socialist coffin, Trump’s expected choice of another Conservative jurist for the Supreme Court. They are helpless to prevent it. To their twisted logic, it is intolerable that Trump, the Populist, should be able to fill the court with constitutionalists.That wasn’t the way the game was planned to be played. The court was theirs to pack, not Trumps.
Like the Red Tide that occasionally shows up on Florida beaches killing the fish, the Red Tide of Trump’s populism is invading the Blue pool of Democrats Socialism. The outcome is inevitable.

American’s, Starved For Decency
“Live and let live” was once a cherished but un-codified phrase that kept us from punching each other’s headlights out over minor disagreements on any number of subjects. It has been swept away by the political philosophy of socialism that demands complete control over everything, the rule of laws be damned. At the local level it’s best seen in the rising incidents of road rage.
Democrats calling for “resistance” have shed all pretense of civility to “live and let live.” It’s to be their way or no way. A year and a half out, they still haven’t grasped the truth that they are no longer in charge of the federal government. All that’s left for them is to yap and snip at the heels of the real leader we now have in Donald Trump, and his supporters.
The politeness scenario that once guided our debates, has been swept away by hysterical
Democrats desperate to retain any claim on power. Three successive national elections have left Democrats stunned. Searching for other methods of maintaining relevance and with no more arguments left in their playbook except “Stop Trump”, they have turned to their chapter on anarchy and are actively encouraging attacks on conservatives through intimidating, in your face name calling, screaming spittle frothing epitaphs and character defamation screeds. When democrats wielded power they used the Dept. of Justice and the now corrupted FBI, not to mention the IRS, to eliminate their opponents. For Democrats, civility is gone, lies are commonplace and to ignore all ideas other than their Marxist scribblings, is expected.
That simple phrase, “live and let live,” encompassed principles that, along with an understanding of the ten commandments, guided us as citizens to live together in peace and harmony and accept the differences. We went together to the 4th of July parades and picnics, the evening fireworks, Veterans day events and all the pro-American programs that reflected American’s pride, and we did it without fighting one another. Americans are starved for decency.
The Socialist theories of economic control, that has taken over the whole of the Democrat Party, and has infiltrated GOP ranks, might explain why Republicans have long been accused of not fighting back, but going along to get along with the Socialists to the point of even agreeing that what the Democrat-Socialist party wanted was really good for America.
Our streets are on fire and it’s the Democrats doing. Alarmed American’s quickly organized under the Tea Party banner to figure out a way to do what the Republican weren’t doing, fighting back. But, Tea Party members didn’t run around attacking Democrats, destroying property or stealing campaign signs from supporters yards, or defacing bumper stickers.
When Republicans controlled only the House of Representatives, and the Tea Party was clearly considered a dissident group in danger of actually damaging the “Deep State”, liberal politicians, MSM journalists and “Moderate Republicans,” saw no need to be civil toward the Tea Partiers and the stage was set for where we are today, both parties in disarray, as they should be, and little can be done to remedy it. Nothing heals faster than open wounds, properly treated.
“Demands for civility almost always come from people who lost their own right to the respect they expect. The last resort of someone who has run out of good moral arguments is lies, innuendoes, falsehoods and now, resistance.

Short Takes – Is a Cataclysm Coming?
Opinion May 30, 2018
The answer depends on what drives ones personal social, religious or economic opinion. One media source warns of a coming war and asks should we be concerned? We’re already at war.
Other sources warns that the government is poised to seize all our bank savings and we should convert to gold, while yet other sources warn of Biblical prophecy coming together as a precursor to Armageddon and the second coming of Jesus. Oh, my! So much to worry about.
Currently newsworthy is the Democrats hysteria over Trumps cancellation of talks with Kim Jong Un. The media screams Donald Trump “was forced to cancel” talks with Kim Jong Un and by extension, Trump, failing to follow the norms used by previous Presidents when dealing with North Korea (capitulation), then all is lost, Trump is incompetent and war is inevitable.
Well, no, Trump wasn’t ‘forced’ to cancel anything. Initially, Trump seized an opportunity to pin Kim against the wall when he accepted Kim’s suggestion for a”summit.” It will only be a surprise to politicians who have no clue about how a poverty stricken, brutal Stalinist regime that is North Korea, operates when squeezing the “West” for sustenance. They have followed their same format for sixty years and Trump called them on it. Even now, Kim is begging for a resumption of the talks. Kim is caught between a rock and a hard spot.
Unknown to the Democrats is Trump’s mastery of the art of persuasion. Trump is not a politician, he’s a doer and whether one negotiates with despots like Kim or for bank loans, the tactics are still the same and most American politicians simply do not have the skills to face off with the likes of a Kim Jung Un, Mano a Mano. Trump has seen ‘em all and he’s holds a strong hand in a game of which he changed the rules. The Joker card is absent from the deck.
Kim’s ploy was as predictable as the coming of elm blight in January. Arrange the meeting, claim actions by the other side are provocative and threaten to withdraw if they are not stopped, redo the effort and finally, alert the North Korean military on the DMZ to battle stations, fire off a few artillery rounds into the Sea of Japan and wait for the Western politicians to capitulate as they have always done. Trump doesn’t play the game that way as we have seen.
I like Nancy Pelosi. She stands as a stalwart exponent for the advancement of conservatism. With her comments on Trump’s foreign policy skills, vis a vis Kim Jung Un, nobody could be better positioned then Nancy Pelosi to drag the Democrat party further into the dim morass of really stupid ideas then she. I ask, what is “a giggle fit?” Months ago Pelosi said: “we must do everything we can to engage North Korea……” then when Donald Trump made it happen, she turns the Democrat party into obstructionists. Actually obstructionism is a bit harsh, because the Democrats are all but powerless, so they are only left mocking the President’s efforts. Where is that “Blue Wave” and when is it going to get here?
How could cancelling the 12 June media event possibly be a “setback” for US foreign policy when the predicable reaction of Kim Jung Un, comes to fruition? Kim will come back to the table. He has to. He has no other choice. The economic squeeze is on and even his back channel sources will be challenged and stopped. Follow the money. Too, he has to look over his shoulder wondering what China’s demands are if he doesn’t already know. China doesn’t need Kim. It just needs to keep the US Army away from its North Korean border. Talk about the rock and the hard spot.
